Painting: How would you paint this bedroom closet?

This bedroom closet came with my apartment, and it's really ugly. I've been thinking about painting it and changing the door handles.

My room has red accents (in the curtains etc), what color would you use for the current natural wood accents it has?

    With the landlords permission, I would add molding on all drawer and door edges, paint or ...»
    wallpaper to your liking. You could add those clear hangers that go on and come off without damaging, to hang jewelry, scarves or even photos.

Design & Décor: What can I do with this ceiling?

The old, quality paneling came from my husband's great aunt's house, which is slated to be destroyed. What can I do with the plain, boring sheetrock ceiling to complement the walls, yet not darken the room any more? Oh, and the door needs something, too. It's the same white as the ceiling.

    I have painted all my ceilings with many colors using glazes. First a turquoise blue, tone it ...»
    down with white and glaze, rag on another color, yellows and pinks mixed with white and glaze, rag it on, and finally white with glaze. The glaze is transparant and leaves a satin finish. It ends up looking like a beautiful sky. I don't mix throughly but leave it sort of marbly, it can be done wet on wet or dry. Gives an old world feel to the ceilings, subtle or as dramatic as you like.

  • This almost shows the whole of both towers. 8
  • I disassembled all of my collected lamps and laid out the globes to see approximately how much rebar I needed for the tower. 2
  • I used 3/8 inch rebar threaded through all of the pieces. I didn't end up using this base though. The actual construction was quite a bit of trial and error in 100+ temperatures! ARGH!!
