Q For my bedroom, I'm looking for a rug that's mostly decorative because we have beautiful hardwood flooring, but I like something warm under my feet at my bedside. What size rug should I get? Lynne Bennett, via e-mail

A The exact dimensions will vary depending on the size of your bed. If you can't find the right size area rug in your budget, then have broadloom cut and bound to the correct size. Here are two options.

Option 1: A generously sized bedroom rug that's large enough for the entire bed and bedside tables to sit on it.

Option 2: A slightly smaller carpet that begins just in front of the side tables but is still wide enough to allow a walkway along both sides of the bed and at the foot of it.

    I have a multi colored slate tiled shower in my master bath, with glass door. The tiles also go around the base of my jacuzzi tub. I am looking to tile my floor, but don't want to use the same tile, i would like something a bit lighter... any suggestions?

    My basement is a above ground/ a walk out , so when you enter the home you enter on that level. I have a large wall the runs the length of a garage on the left side...on the right side I have a bathroom and the stairs. Any ideas as to what to put on that wall.
