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.

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

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 :) 

We provide dark grey washcloths in every bathroom for just that purpose.

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.

I used light floors and dark walls for contrast and light furnishings pushed against the dark walls for pop.

Even being out of budget, that transparency is really valuable and not leaving investors in the dark! 

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.

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
