Clemente Schoeck: Green is an earthtone--think of other earthtones, colors you see when walking outside or through a forest--everything in a forest "matches". Different shades of browns, oranges (in the fall), yellows, creams, etc.
Ramona Pago: in the living area it stays cold in the winter and hot in the summer and i can see between the floors in the attic and there is no insulation's. should in put some between floors?
Ileen Oshell: Yes, insulate anywhere you can and also check your windows and doors for gaps. Here are a few links about adding insulation.http://www.oldhouseweb.com/stories/Detailed/14739....http://www.energystar.gov...Show more
Bo Perham: why don't you call the apartment manager? it is normal wear and tear so you are not liable.
Caleb Chapman: light blue
Mahalia Brindle: yep
Jarrod Darnall: I plugged a space heater into a power strip and the plug burned out. Can I just replace the plug? How do I do that?
Sang ! Hanafin: I have done a little research and some people suggest using Rustoleum Appliance Spray paint. Has any one had an experience with that. Also i noticed at Home Depot there was a product called Magic ReNew Shower and Tub, any experience with that?Thanks
Hubert Jestes: You need to insulate your roof and walls. Hot air rises, heat does not. If you insulate your attic it will keep air from leaving the house and thus the heated air in your lower level will have no where to go and will remain down stairs longer. Depending on your system, the cold air return might be drawing too much of the warm air from upstairs and not enough from the downstairs level. Insulating between the floors will help keep the living area warmer, but your upper area will still be losing heat. Sometimes a simple diverter on your heat register will help warm you and the things in the living area. Purchase at harware/ Home Depot. They divert the heat from blasting up and make it go out i! nto the room instead. If your attic is usable space, insulate! on the underside of the roof. If your attic is not usable and can remain cold, insulate the attic floor (or under the floor boards in your attic. The less area you have to heat the better!...Show more
Joaquin Dronko: I would have to 100% agree with gr82cu. I think those colors would be the best with green carpet. Green is a very powerful color and hard to find cordinating wall colors. The tan colors are definatly the dirction you need to go.
Boyce Gilhooly: A light yellow should do nice.
Connie Dickirson: Hunter green is a strong color, so you certainly want to stay away from any thing bold or dark, unless you want a library effect, which can be very attractive, but that doesn't sound like the look you want. You didn't say what color your existing furniture is, or what woodtones...dark, light, natural?My guess is that you want a traditional look, and a good choice would be in beiges that have gold and yellow undertones. If you look at paint chips at t! he store, you will notice the variation of white/beige,yellow tints. To make it easier, bring a swatch of fabric, or a pillow from your sofa and chairs. Try to find the lightest tone in the fabric, if it's a print. If solid, ask the clerk if he can tell you what undertones are in the swatch. Try to choose a color that doesn't clash, but blends harmoniously with the light shade. Another way to tone down the green, place a large area rug to ground the conversation area, i.e. sofa, loveseat, chairs, coffee table. Pull the furniture away from the walls far enough that you can stand behind each piece. Place the furniture in a pleasing arrangement, so that the front legs of all the pieces set on the rug.Think, conversation...people should be able to talk to the person across from them. Place the coffee table 18 inches from the front of the sofa. The rug can be any color pulled from your upholstered furniture, or a modern pattern, if your furniture is a solid color or a t! iny pattern. Hope that helps....Show more
Scot Sepulbeda: My apar! tment manager is horrible. So i was looking for a quick inexpensive fix, without having to deal with him.
Catheryn Barringer: yes home depot does have the renew product and depending on the home depot where you live, there is another brand too. i wouldn't recommend the appliance epoxy spray paint because it isn't mean to be in a wet environment like a shower or tub.
Shon Almquist: male and female plugs of various types can be purchased at any hardware store. It is best to use the proper amperage ones tho. Most modern outlets are rated for 20 amps, older outlets 15 amps. The more amps , the higher the resistance. If you plugged an appliance that drew 20 amps thru an electrical strip or extension cord that was rated at below 20 amps- you will cause a fire- or burn out a plug or recepticle.. When replacing the plug make sure it is rated at or above the rated draw of the cord or strip. These replacement plugs usually come with instructions. Don't short cut o! r alter the installation instructions as a mistake can cause a major electrical fire. General rule of thumb- 14 gauge wire 15 amps, 12 gauge wire 20 amps, any size/guage smaller -10 amps...Show more
Stanton Valdivia: Choose a lighter green, perhaps a 'sea green' that has lots of 'white' in it ... or choose a pale yellow color. I like the hunter green carpet and the 'sea green' walls, though ... but if you do use the 'same' color, just lighter, then you'll need to choose a good 'contrasting' color to 'brighten up' the whole room ... a nice 'medium red' would work, or a 'pattern' with pink and burgundy would also be good.
Lyman Gauld: Krylon [brand] now has a plastic spray paint out, its been on the market for about a yr now, scrap all the loose stuff off first,
Fannie Collingwood: if it has screws then just open it and remove the burnt section of the wires and again connect the wire. If it can not be opened by screws then simply cut the wire from the bas! e of plug and uncover it upto 1 inch. Then connect the two wires with a! new plug having screws. Such a plug is easily available in the market.
Erin Arron: yes it will save you hundreds on your energy bills and add Value to your home...go ahead!good luck!
Karey Dunken: Green...hmmmm...to be honest...all neutral colors like tan...coffee bean....all of those light browns are really nice and its a very comfortable home feeling.
Spencer Heidtbrink: Beige, tans, or cream colors. Dark colored carpet makes rooms look instantly smaller, so you will want to brighten the room up with the lighter side of any of these colors to make the room look bigger and more inviting.
Rufus Plough: Try a very light pink. Break up the pink with a lot of art. Or you could try some type of paint technique over the pink. But pink... pink and green are best.
Dulcie Edis: A lighter shade of green and an off white would work well. If you are brave you can try a pale misty blue also but that may be a harder shade to get just right. Your black! couch will not be an issue. Just use toss pillows and area rugs with the lighter shade of green. Accent with patterns as long as they share the same colors as I mentioned. I would also keep the drapes light in color and include the lighter colors mentioned into the throw pillows. A small amount of a rusty cranberry accent might be nice too. That is a hard color to explain. It is almost a bronze but not exactly. Just stay away from red reds. Only good at Christmas and with your colors I would go with a cranberry red for that too....Show more
Mitchel Demry: you should defentetly chose a mixture of dark and light brown!my friend has dark green carpet with a luxury brownish looking color and it is so preaty. i like to go cause it looks like imm at a forest or something. its relaxing. hope this helped good luck
