Decorating

this is for a 99 contour se, don't know if they are all the same

if it is the mirrored glass that is cracked:pop the glass off. that's right, it just pops off like Lego's. its a piece of glass on a pice of hard plastic, and the whole assebly will just pop out. then get a new glass assy from a dealer or junkyard. (they are like 5 bucks at a junkyard, about 15 at dealer)you can even trade the glass from driver to passenger side if you need one more than the other until you get it fixed. another temp fix is to get that mirror replacement stuff at an auto zone or napa or discount auto, but you will learn that the cut it yourself temporary mirror stuff is definitely just temporary.

if it is the mirror casing that's broke:read through the other contour faq's. they answer it a few times

Kilograms is a measure of mass/weight, Litre is a measure of volume. You can only convert between the two if you know the density of the paint. You have not told us this so we can not answer your question.

No. I don't believe these stores handle yard goods. You would want to find a fabric store such as Joanns. Some Walmarts also have fabric. Also Hobby Lobby. Tuile, as a decorating fabric or wall paper is a look that has run its course.

That is the best design to prevent the pull from catching or tangling on the blinds

Add some kind of neat lighting to your basement, possible a bar would be a good investment to make you basement look that much better, also a pool table or Foosball table would also be something too look at.

It depends on the shape and usage. Place mats are the smallest lace table mats, table runners would be the name for lace table mats that are longer than they are wide, and a lace table mat that is used over top of a cloth table cloth would be called a table topper.

Egyptian Cotton bath towels can be found at many big box retailers or online. Specifically, they are sold at both Sears and Bed Bath and Beyond. Additionally, they can be found on the internet on many sites including Overstock.

You can buy a bronze horse statue at any thrift store or mom and pop shop that sells antique items. You can also buy it at an auction block or your local flea market.

It depends on what you are painting. In general, if it is possible to have a problem, you will! Most problems occur, I believe because people fail to read the instructions, do the prep work, which is the hardest, most time consuming and boring part of the job, and use the wrong paint for the project. Like anything you do, having the right tools for the job, and taking the time needed to get everything ready to be painted is the best insurance against problems. If you do not have experience painting, talk to a specialist in the paint department of a good hardware store. Sometimes the big warehouse stores don't have employees that can give you good advice. There are certain ways you need to cut out the room, certain techniques for rolling on the paint, different types of roller pads for different surfaces. You use a semi-gloss to paint wood trim but wouldn't want that on the wall. Conversely, you usually paint living and bedrooms with a flat latex but would not use flat paint on the trim.

Finally, don't start any painting project until you have everything you need in place, all the prep is done, and that you are sure to have plenty of time to finish what you start.

The problem answering this question is that "sandstone" can be several different colors ranging from shades of pink to green to brown. Ithink of sandstone as a taupe, which is a mixture of brown and grey. When you add pure white to a color to make it lighter, it can take on a pastel look. I suggest you use a light cream instead of white and add very small amounts of brown and grey to arrive at the shade you want. And I mean VERY SMALL. You can always add more. Because cream has a little yellow and brown in it, start by adding the grey. Make sure it is NOT a blueish grey. Then add the brown little at a time til you arrive at a pale taupe.

Plantation shutters used on the inside of the windows are practical to the extent that they can shut out light, or let it in a little or a lot, like blinds would do. But you can't expose the entire window without opening them out and back against the wall on either side of the window. Or by using bi-fold styles that fold but stick out forward. In both cases, when the shutter is opened, it takes up space you may not have. Some people use shutters on the bottom half of the window and not the top so they let the light in but give you privacy at eye level. You also have to have double hung sash style windows. They are completely wrong with the crank out style of window. As beautiful as they are, they are not really practical. I would go with 2" wood blinds. They come in a lot of wood tones, and white is always

right. They look rich, not wimpy like mini blinds, but can go on any style of window.

You can buy a metallic paint. But painting brass hinges is almost a crime! Not only that, but they are never going to look quite right. I don't care what they do on HGTV. It will look like you painted it. That's not a good look. You can take them to a place that does chrome work, silver plating, etc.

and have them professionally coated. The crime in that is the cost. Unless these are really special or antique hinges, if you want the look of silver, brushed nickel or a look like that, you'll be better off buying new hinges.

I've never seen textured walls, but very common to spray-tex ceilings as it looks better.

Eggplant, can be tricky. Not knowing the colour of your walls, window treatments, floor treatments or much else I am left with picking the neutrals.

Grey on the side of silver lends eggplant an elegant look.

Black is a safe as houses, and every room should have a bit of black in it.

I've seen eggplant and gold, and although it is not to my personal taste, it does have appeal.

I have also encountered it with a deep rich midnight blue, and the combination was outstanding.

Then there are some risk taker ideas.

Bright berry red can bring out the playful side.

Apple green is quite trendy now, and if used judiciously will be wonderful.

Turquoise has a lot of appeal and is easy to work with.

If all you are looking for is an accent, my suggestion is be brave, it's a small investment and can have a big impact.

Get a crow bar and you can easily lift it out. Then you can do whatever you want in the manhole. Also manhole covers scrap at a junk yard for about 10 bucks.

Mustard yellow and most intense pink look good together.

A very soft pastel pink would however be over powered by a mustard yellow.

If you are using the combination in clothing pieces, be sure to put the most flattering colour (to your skin tones) nearer your face.

If you are using this colour combination in decorating I would suggest bringing in a fair amount of a neutral colour to help balance out the look.

Palapa Kits can provide a Hawaiian feel to your house if that's what you're looking for. It gives your home that tropical ambience that is evident in Hawaiian households.

I would suggest you work with one of the many neutrals available. White, black, grey (or a combination of the colours) are all viable options and leave you able to use any other colour if and when you repaint. If your room has wood in it, you could also use any of the beige, brown and "stone" colours.

There are currently glass tiles available from many companies that feature "metallic" looks, check into these. You can find one with a pewter look that is in combination with translucent and opaque tiles in greys. The finished look will be very sharp with the red, and still leave you options for the future.

The "square footage" is usually called the "area".

A room that measures 3-ft long and 3-ft wide has

-- 9 square feet on the floor

-- 9 more square feet on the ceiling

-- more square feet on the walls, but in order to count those,

you have to know the height of the ceiling above the floor.

You can use 1) natural thatch roof materials such as water reeds and 2) synthetic thatch roof materials. I recommend the latter if you are planning to put up a long lasting, durable thatch roof.

Red is a very lucky color.
