How much does it cost to install new floors in apartment complex?

Now that's a loaded question !! It would depend on a lot of things. What type of flooring do you have now and what type are you putting in, will there be a lot of prep work to do, or is it a new building? Are there a lot of jogs or angles to deal with? You would be far better off to phone a few flooring companies, have them look at the site and get some free estimates.

What are rd dimensions of a toilet?

Every manufacturer makes many different models and all of them are different dimensions, no standard dimension. I would go to Home Depot or Lowes website & pick one I like & they will have the specs on there so you would know.

How can you decorate a mirror with paint?

well if the mirror has a frame then you could paint it multicolored it really depends on who's room it is in because you couldn't have a rainbow mirror in an old man's room. So anything would do as long as it is in the right place

Is lite gray a good color to paint a beauty salon interior?

Sure. I've painted beauty salons in every colour you can imagine. The key to making it work is how you accessorize. Gray is good because it's neutral and allows you to choose accessories that create any atmosphere you want. Modern, contemporary, kitsch, funky, classical, folksy.. I suggest that you look closely at the Gray swatches as Gray comes in many tones, from cool to warm. Think of the theme you want. Imagine the colour of that theme if you were to paint a full strength colour. Then add that colour to the Gray. So if you wanted a light and airy Gray add turquoise, warm and sunny add a sunshine yellow, cold and modern add silver. Also it's not a bad idea to make sure skin tones look good beside the colour. Hold it to beside your face in a mirror, if your skin doesn't look great beside it, choose another colour.

If I paint a feature wall in my living room do I paint the same wall in the through dining room?

If the two walls are of a continuous piece, it is easiest to continue the colour throughout, however if the walls are divided, say by an archway or some other architectural feature then you are into personal taste area.

I personally prefer to use a feature wall colour in a place where it does not extend into another room. That may be because I have a preference for saturated colours and too much of them can be hard for some people to live with.

Most recently I painted a client's living room - dining room with a light blue-grey, the two rooms were divided by an archway with french doors in it, so on the dining room side I painted the archway wall a deep saturated sapphire blue. It compliment her dinning room artwork, linens and dishes. Then I painted the living room side of the archway wall in a medium, darkish grey (the same as the other walls but four steps darker on the colour chart), to pick up the colours in her carpet and upholstered furniture. You can't see the dark colours from the other room, but both are enhanced by the technique.

Do polished chrome and polished nickel match?

Not well. Nickel has a different color than chrome. It is not a "true" silver. Also every manufacturer has a different shade of nickel so you can struggle to even match nickel between product lines. Stay with one or the other. Chrome is certainly less expensive and still looks great.

What color should you paint your bathroom?

Orange, for me orange colors in a small bathroom make it look bigger

Additional Information

I know the above sounds a bit wild, but I have painted bathrooms (and other rooms) for clients for years.

A bathroom is one of the few rooms you can in fact go "a little over the top" with.

Think about it, how long does anyone really spend in a bathroom?

A bright and vibrant colour can make you smile, or if it happens to be your favourite colour it can lift you mood.

A dark colour, even black (with plenty of accessories in white or grey and splashes of a bright colour) can be very elegant.

This is the one room you CAN do something outrageous in.

My only proviso here is, if the bathroom is an ensuite, and the lady of the house does her make-up in it, pick a colour that when it reflects on the skin does not make her look "odd."

That or provide a desperate make-up area with good lighting and neutral colours.

You have chocolate brown leather furniture and was wondering what colours would mix well with this?

For your walls, a caramel tan, or sage green would work. Pick window treatments that combine the wall colour and the brown. Accent pieces in a darker shade of your wall colour will give the area punch without overpowering it.

Romantic color to paint room?

Romantic colours are very subjective. A boudoir in pastels, and whites with lots of lace and details might be one persons idea of romantic and another person's idea of decorating hell.

Generally speaking, that which makes you comfortable, relaxed, and happy is a good start. Personal touches, luxurious fabric, and favourite colours will make it your own.

Where can you buy wallpaper like they have on the walls in the triple flip store dressing room?

I would be glad to answer this question but first I need more information. I am not familiar with the term "triple flip store dressing room". I've been in a lot of store dressing rooms but have to admit that I've never noticed anything particularly outstanding or unique about the wallpaper used in them!

Is there a companion painting of an old woman that goes with Enstrom's Grace painting?

%22Gratitude%22_by_Jack_Garren">"Gratitude" by Jack Garren"Gratitude" is a the name of an inspirational photograph taken in the 1960s by Jack Garren, a religious bookstore owner from Centralia, Illinois. It features an elderly woman seated at a table praying over a bible; a pitcher and plate of cheese and bread are in the background. The photograph was intended to match a 1918 photograph of an old man praying at a table called Grace by Eric Enstrom, and subsequently they have often been packaged together as a "Grace and Gratitude" diptych. The photograph's model was Mrs. Myrtle Copple, who died in 1975.

Will beige walls go with an aubergine sofa?

Absolutely. Don't do a wimpy beige either. You need a color that can stand up to the aubergine.

What do you decorate the halls with?

Hallways and stairways can present problems for new decorators. Use your knowledge of your own lifestyle and personal tastes to help guide you.

For a hallway on the ground level of a multi-person household with young or teenage children and a casual lifestyle, try a utilitarian approach. Spaces to hang coats, store book bags and tuck shoes/boots out of the way will reduce the clutter in this area.

For a hallway in the upper floor of an old family home, you might want to keep the paint light coloured as these areas sometimes can be dark. A "gallery" of family photos enhanced by good lighting would be suitable in this area.

Can felt be painted on?

Not easily. You can't get a clean line becaue of the nap. I would suggest you use a stamping technique instead.

Will skim coating stop water seepage from an external wall and should you apply wall sealer before or after the skim coat?

If you can't solve the seepage problem, the next besrt thing is a water proofing product. Until you are sure you have a tight barrier against moisture, skim coating will be an exercise in futility because it will just bubble up.
