Adjacent to this we are doing renovations on a coat closet but we aren’t using anything from Ikea – these are fully custom. The doors look similar to the pax doors we used (see above link). I was wondering – do I need to match the …

Help with console table selection We bought a beautiful piece of large, narrow art, but we need to hang it extra high so that it doesn’t block our light switch. I planned to balance it out by putting a small console table underneath, but have limited choices since the wall is only 30 inches wide. Would you go with the black shoe cabinet or the smaller wood table? Note, we will b…

Wallpaper applied to gypsum board gone wrong We have recently decided to change the wallpaper, and before installing the wallpaper we decided to use gypsum board underneath it. After the gypsum board was applied, 2 to 3 coats of white paint was applied to the gypsum board (originally the gypsum board’s color is green). So then wallpaper was applied. We were surprised to find that the wallp…

Kitchen refresh I just purchased my first home, yay! The kitchen is interesting… old painted cabinets and brick counters with an awful swamp green painted backsplash.

Any ideas on getting a TV to fit here and still look nice? The space between the door and the HVAC unit is only 52 inches. I also wanted a TV stand that’s slightly longer than my TV but also need to be able to access the HVAC unit.

As someone who’s 6 feet, I can’t stand too close to the pipes and so to get more space, I stand a little back and every time I take a shower, there’s a bunch of water that leaks down and onto the bathroom flower outside. And, I did confirm wi…
