(As an aside, I like the colorful phrase "death trap of taxes")

Pick a color or pattern that hides things well.Knobs/pulls: look for something that can't catch on clothing.Paint: avoid bold, dark colors.

Less choices in the fall/winter, but then again, we're not worried about where to put the tv, or what color the carpet is :) 

You can sand it , you can stain it , finishes in all colors .

I would never deny anyone due to their race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, disability or (new one for Colorado) source of income.

Since it's the ceiling, when your plaster man is finished with the repair you can bank on it it's going to need special primer to hide the water stain and a respray of the ceiling color.

It is colored town by town, show demographic and income of the neighbor.

Wondering if I should go with white or if there is another color that people are suggesting.Thank you in advance for your assistance,Karen

Mark Kohler is very good for instance.Did you ask the attendant at the dress store to show you every dress they ever sold before you bought one?

I read a couple design books to fact check the objects and colors and feel like it's pretty solid.
