Question: What is a good home makeover/redesign show besides "Extreme Home Makeover"?

My boyfriend and roommates live in an old beautiful house from mid-1800's. However, there are a lot of things wrong with it, very little furniture, bad paint jobs, etc. It has SO much potential. Being college students, short on funds and uneducated in interior design, I want to take a stab at applying for one of these shows (but not Extreme Home Makeover, as they prefer underpriviledged families). Thanks!

Answer: HGTV has a lot of shows like that.

Question: I'm opening a Children's Entertainment center but don't know how to pick a good wall color palette to use.

I'm opening a children's play center (uptownplayaround.com) and have meticulously designed the entire facility (myself) with high-end features and ordered beautiful one-of-a-kind play structures but I can’t decide on what colors to paint my walls.

Answer: Go to a few different paint stores and look at the swatch area. They usually have little brochures that have pictures of rooms on them. Find a room (probably a child's bedroom) that you like and then just use the colors they list on the card.

Another idea is to take one color that you really like (maybe it's in a few of the play structures or something) and put it into the little computer in the paint section at Home Depot. The computer will spit out suggestions for coordinating colors.

A final suggestion would be to find an item, such as a rug, pillow, or sweater that you really love. Have a paint store match 3 colors from that and use those. You'll know that they coordinate, because they look good together in the item.

Once you get your three colors (I wouldn't go with more than that) decide where to use them. You could paint two walls one color, two another, and use the third as an accent, perhaps painting some kind of geometric designs or swirls or whatever in that color.

Good luck with your business!
