    Hey Rhoda,
    Just wanted to say I love your blog and am overwhelmed at all the great ideas. In fact, I find that I spend so much time pinning and looking and reading all the information that I never have time to actually “do” anything. I’m sure all you girls are schooled decorators, but I am just a hillbilly born in WV and living in a cabin in NC! 🙂 We have some great “junk” places here and I have some inspiration trying to escape my secret “junky artistic” heart, but I don’t know where to start. Thanks again for your blog and please keep it up.

    Rhoda, Bobbie or I cannot find the week by week blog about the rennovation of your new home. We found it before and loved it but either we both have forgot where we found it or it has moved. HELP!

    I saw your new kitchen, looks great!!!. I am looking for some pulls just like that. Most bin pulls I like have the screws in front. These look like they screw from behind. Could you please tell me where you found them. Thanks – Lori

      Hi, Lori, all my hardware came from Ikea, as did my kitchen cabinets. I love them!

    Rhoda, I love your site. I have a questions concerning what to do with some black lacquer chairs. I want to use them with my cherry dining room table. The chairs and the table match as far as style. I am researching how to paint lacquer but I was wondering if I should try to match the table or do some other color and, of course, change the seat fabric. Or could I use them as they are and just put new fabric? Thanks much.

      HI, Jamie, I think you could spray paint those chairs with another color and it might look more interesting. and yes, change out the chair seats too. I’m not sure about paint sticking to the chairs, but I bet if you used a good oil based primer first, it would work just fine.

    Hello Rhoda!
    Love your DIY projects! I too have an Ikea kitchen which I love. Good luck with everything. Can you help with this one thing? I have a bathroom cabinet from Ikea in high gloss white. Now that we have a new bathroom, I would like to paint it gray. How can I do this? Do I have to sand it? I am sure it’s not wood though….will it matter? Can particle board be sanded? Help?

      Catherine a really good sticking primer will be necessary for paint to stick to the Ikea pieces. I know that Zinsser has a good one that is shellac based & will definitely stick to anything, but I think their oil based would work too. Definitely prime well and then paint. You can’t sand particle board.

      Hi, Dona, there are many of you having problems and my tech guy doesn’t know what is wrong, he can’t find any reason why this is happening. Please check out my Facebook page, since I post links every time I do a new post. At least then, you can click over and read each post as they are new. Also, clicking the Archives tab on the right sidebar should bring up all the posts in that month, so try that too.

    Hi Rhoda,
    I’m a newbie to Google Reader/Freely and am trying to set you up as one of my reads. Do you have an RSS feed? If so where is it on your website? Thanks so much! LOVE your blog!

      HI,Carol, I don’t know how to give it to you. I know you can set it up through Google Reader, but that’s going away July 1st. I have my feed set through Feedburner. Can you just put in my blog web url and have that work? I don’t know how that works. Sorry!

      Hi, Danielle, it’s Rhoda. I don’t know for sure what to tell you on your bathroom, but you could go either way on the mirror. Maybe try to visualize which one looks the best with your countertop and cabinets. I think you can definitely go with a mix of black and white in a room for balance too.

    I have a question about what brand and type of paint did you use on the stairs. It is beautiful!

      Hi, Lynn, if you mean my new stairs, they are Valspar Porch and Floor paint in Fired Earth, Satin finish.

      Hi, Lee, the gray above the board and batten is called Rockport Gray by Ben Moore. I had it mixed in Valspar at Lowes.

    Hey Rhonda,

    I am renovating a 1970’s house. The bathroom floor is avocado green 4″ tiles and is in bad shape. I would like to use the tub and toilet but cannot find new tile in that color or something that would match. I would prefer 12 or 18 inch tile rather than the 4″. Any suggestions where I might fine it?

    Thanks,
    Debby Fraser

      Hi, Debby, I am sure you can find something at Home Depot or Lowes. It doesn’t have to be the same tile, so just find something that blends in there.
