RE: Brewing Coffee For 11 People With Small Pot
You can probably get a larger coffee pot for free from freecycle, cragislist, etc. Or see if you can borrow a larger coffee pot from a neighbor, friend or relative. If you are serving coffee to 11 people you may have to make several pots with 10-12 cup coffee maker. Might be a good idea to brew some in advance and put it in a carafe or thermos. And you could also find out if anyone drinks decaf, and use the 2 cup pot for that. ... View related article.

RE: Old House Needs New Paint in Kitchen
Margaret, sounds like you've got a blank pallet with lots of neutrals. I would punch it up with some bold colors like red or something else in that family. ... View related article.

RE: How Much Should Addition To House Cost?
Here in Virginia it was about $100/sf just to renovate my master bath, plus the cost of the tub, vanity, faucets, etc. But it was totally gutted to the studs, some leaks fixed, plumbing upgraded, etc. ... View related article.

RE: Painting Living Room to Compliment Sage Kitchen
This is a matter of personal preference, but I like stark contrasts. I have a sage type green in my den, and the adjacent kitchen is a bold apricot orange. The orange really turned out darker than I intended (as it always does!) but we've grown to love it. People always comment on how nice it looks, but I know that some think it is too bold. We painted the built-in bookcase in the den an ivory color, and it looks great against the sage green too. You could also do some sort of mango or yellow color. Green goes well with many colors. ...

RE: A New Use For Pants/Trousers Hangers
I haven't used chip clips for years. I bought a pack of clothes pins about 10 ten years ago, and am using the same pins now! I also like to use them for cereal and chip bags that come in boxes. ... View related article.

RE: Problems with Rolling Backpack
Most wheels on luggage are actually rollerblade wheels. With rollerblades you can remove and replace the wheels, as they are designed to do so. Also, they come in different hardnesses as well, and different bearing specifications. If you can take the old wheels off (without breaking anything) you should be good to go. ...

RE: Vacation Spots From Virginia to Key West
My first thought was Savannah, Ga. That seems like it woul be about halfway. Sounds like you'll have to make several trips to visit all these great places though! Be sure to stop at Jasper's Porch in Ridgeland, SC for a meal. You'll be glad you did! After you eat you can take a walk around the lake, or relax in a rocking chair on the porch.

RE: What To Do With Large Brick Fireplace
Sometimes a large amount of brick can overwhelm a space. I have seen people enclose the part above a mantel with plywood, and paint the plywood. That is much preferable to me rather than painting brick. The wood can be taken down in the future if someone wants to. ... View related article.
