How did you make the brick white surrounding the fireplace? - I have Chicago brick on a 14' wide wall extending from the floor up about 5' with a gas fireplace center in the middle. I want to change the Chicago brick to white but not a solid white (more of an antique/worn look). »

How do you put in a Tray Ceilings? - My husband and I are currently house hunting. I am IN LOVE with tray ceilings. I wanted to know the process of having this type of ceiling put into a home that doesn't already have one. Is this even a realistic option? if it is "doable", how high must the current ceiling be in order to do this? Thank you for any and all repsonses. »
JWinteriors This is a coffered ceiling vs a tray ceiling. A carpenter would "beam" out squares using 2x6's. He would then overlay this with 1 x 6 pine. A crown moulding would then be applied to the inside of all boxes. Everything gets primed and painted. You must have at least 9 foot ceilings for this to work as you will be coming down 6 inches.

Advise on color to put in a living room to attract light - If the living room only has one window what do you think is the preferred color to paint this living room into to attract light »
JWinteriors Jane is right. Any colour that has a yellow undertone will reflect more light. This colour could be green, which would have more yellow added than blue, etc. Any room that has white woodwork, allows the wall colour to be deeper. So don't be afraid to go a little darker for the contrast.

Eutree Wide Plank Flooring Robin, typically hand scraped floors will be engineered. Some installers do however actually come to the job site and hand scrape the whole thing but that is unusual and extremely expensive.
