Is home depot expo design consultant good?

jan asked:


For a retainer fee of $750, Home Depot Expo will provide me a designer who would work with me on finding items for my home and color blending. When I use their service (installation and products sold in home depot) that equals 5k or more, my $750 will be refunded.
Saleslady said the designers are not on commision so they are not going to make a profit on selling me any certain item. Also, installation fees are basically set.
Doesn’t this sound like a good deal? I need help with finding the right color blend for my living and dining room walls, hardwood floors , new cabinets for the kitchen and new window treatment. Sales lady said they can help me co-ordinate colors and someone would come over to my house for 2 hours next week.

What do you think?

Instructions for Anne Klein cafeteria table from Debbie Travis’ Painted House?

ing.matt asked:


Can someone please help me find a step-by-step on this project:

On Debbie Travis’ Painted House, Debbie redid an office cafeteria for Anne Klein, the fashion company. Among the projects was a renovation to the dining table.

Debbie laid a bunch of old clothing mock-up papers on the table, glued them on, put a clear layer on it, and did some design and tinting things to it, and it turned out to be a really classy deal.

If anyone knows what I’m talking about and can help me out, please help! I want to do the same project for my college newsroom, except with old newspapers. It would be a nice centerpiece for our meeting area, but I want to do it right.

Thanks.

lala2007 asked:


I am moving into my first aparment and want to get some nice furniture for it. The only things I need are living room furniture and a dining set. Are there any stores I can shop at to find really good deals? I don’t want to spend more than 1500 on furniture for the entire apartment.

Help with my 10 ft. ceiling’d dining room? The walls are so bare, and the furniture looks mini–also,?

kimgoddess asked:


it’s a small room, maybe 12 x 12, with a French door (to a little sunroom), the stairs to the second floor, and 2 entrances. Ten feet may seem like no big deal, but they’re a challenge. How can I decorate the top 2/3 of this room? It’s bright yellow with a crystal chandelier……at the entranceway, there are 2 round columns also 10 feet high, any suggestions to warm things up? I have hardwood floors…thanks!

Why are there never lights in the living room of a home?

Posted on timeMarch 3rd, 2009 by userpcgumban    flag(4) Comments


trey6z asked:


My wife and I recently began looking for a new house to purchase because our current home is too small. One of the things we noticed was there are never any light fixtures in the living rooms. Is there a reason for this design? I think one house we saw had a light in the living room, every other room has a light, bathroom, bedroom, dining room, kitchen. Whats the deal??
