Kim,
My husband & I were rooting for you from the first episode of Design Star & were thrilled when you won. Can't wait to see your new show!
I was thinking of a pressed tin backsplash for my kitchen but your tip on the mirrors was great, especially since our kitchen is a little dark. Thanks!

Posted by Kathryn Carlson – March 5, 2008 2:40 PM

I am so excited about your show! Can't wait to see your ideas. I have loved every design of yours I have seen! Good luck with the show! Or should I say, Break a leg!;)

Posted by Janie – March 5, 2008 4:15 PM

I just wanted to say that the blue & brown rug in your commercial is my inspiration for my office makeover. Now I just need to find some fabric that has that kind of style. I can't wait for your show as I can tell you will give viewers great ideas that may just be practical for the less-skilled folks out here!! :)

Posted by Shawn – March 5, 2008 6:19 PM

I'm so exited for you, cant wait to see the show. I hope you have a great time and enjoy your show! Come visit me sometime, like you'll have all this time right :) Take care, Kimberly

Posted by Kimberly Ryan – March 5, 2008 10:35 PM

I was so glad that you won, my first thought was finally they chose the real talent!!! I rent an old craftsman style house, love the windows but too drafty, the house has not been kept up unfortunately feels like it will crumble to the ground any minute. anyway the bedrooms are covered in awful wood paneling and the rooms are very small. I asked if I could paint but they said no! I will only be here a short time but what can i do to make this feel like a place I want to sleep in? I have a neutral color on the bed (that fills the room).

Posted by debbie – March 5, 2008 11:16 PM

I wish you the best on your new show; I'm looking
forward to your first show. Yes I did vote for you mamy, many, many times, you were the best.

Posted by Margie – March 5, 2008 11:24 PM

Hi! Iam looking forward to the show, but I would like it on eariler. Anna

What sort of art work do you place over a sofa that has an arched (rounded) back? Square, circle, rectangle?

Thanks.

Posted by Marianne – March 6, 2008 12:45 PM

Yea Kim ,
You did a great job.
I can hardly wait for your show to start.

Posted by Cheryl – March 6, 2008 4:22 PM

Hi Kim,
Can't wait for your show. I rooted for you all the way (I'm in the Caribbean, so couldn't vote) and jumped up and down when you won. All the best Ms. Myles of Styles!

Posted by Trini Denise – March 7, 2008 11:35 AM

Glad you are on hgtv. and won, if you need a home to remodel I am available. Looking forward to your ideas and creations. Go, Kim Go

Posted by Linda – March 7, 2008 12:49 PM

can you paint over wallpaper?

Posted by shante – March 7, 2008 7:17 PM

Can't wait for your show! I love the Q&A you do. You have so MUCH personality that you make one feel that you are already a long-time friend. Best wishes on your new show.

Posted by Johnnie – March 7, 2008 9:21 PM

I have a bi-level home. Every thing is open. My question is where do you stop and start painting and is it to bold to go with mocha with a musbroom colored couch

Posted by Barbara – March 7, 2008 9:46 PM

Hi Kim, So happy you won and that your show is starting soon. Your show is going to be great for us DIYers and I feel it will have loads of doable and affordable decorating projects/ideas. Can't wait to be inspired. I'm a very handy recent retiree and own a manufactured home in a senior community. There are so many of us out there watching HGTV and it seems like the station forgets we exist. If you can, please include ideas for patios, porches and gardens occasionally. Wish you great success with the show and in everything you do. Verna

Posted by Verna – March 8, 2008 2:21 AM

I can't wait to see your shows kim.Best of luck to you I'm still rooting for you

Posted by karen – March 8, 2008 12:03 PM

So happy for you. I also watched all of the programs and was rooting for you all of the way. My, you are certainly talented. Fantastic.
I am in a senior park with park models(about 500sq.ft) and RV's. All "small" ideas are welcome. Thank you, for you, all of the people connected to you and the show. walk in peace.kay

Posted by kay – March 10, 2008 9:44 PM

Hi Kim,
I'm a devoted fan of HGTV. I was so happy for you when they announced you as the winner. I rooted for you. I have a Tudor style home with a living room problem. The room is 11x18 long rectangle shaped box,that is hard to find the correct design flow for placement of my furniture pieces. My preference seem to lean towards an Asian eclectic style. My sofa is mocha suede and my wall color is cream with yellow undertones.

Posted by Kim Shows-Miller – March 10, 2008 10:07 PM

Hi Kim, I have been patiently waiting for your show to air. Just recently downsized from a 2700 sq ft home to a barely 700 sq ft apartment. To say I need ideas is putting it mildly. Best wishes to you in your new journey.

Posted by Judy Humphrey – March 11, 2008 12:36 PM

HOw do you sign around a room with a sitting area. I have moved my bed at least 10 times the room is a large square with a rectangle bump out as a sitting room

Posted by Dion Spencer – March 12, 2008 12:20 AM

My husband and I are going to try and tackle a painting job this year, and have a celery color picked out for the walls in the living room of our 950 sq ft apartment. Problem is that we are both on disabilty and only get a limited income per month. Trying to figure what color to have the drapes against the celery walls. I have a dark celery silk drapes now, but green on green will just blend everything and wash out everything. My husband loves purple, and was thinking on some shade of purple in the drapes or a purple and red/berry print. Would that look ok?

Thank you,
Donna & Paul

Posted by Donna – March 12, 2008 5:16 AM

Kim - I love color (royal purple, cherry red & cobalt blue. I also love the neon green (for want of a better name). I would love to see a living room done in these colors (w/wo the green). I am (according to my grandchildren) an artist. Am currently minding on a Victorian design for a pig in pastels. To my mind a female president/artist could change the world just by putting colors where there are none & turning the USA into one giant garden. I guess even a man could do that but women are more creative & courageous. But I do love David & I am glad you are getting your big chance, too. GOOD LUCK

Posted by Brooke – March 12, 2008 2:27 PM

We just move from a 1900 sf house to a 4000 one and I wouldn't ask anyone else for ideas for decorating my house. I am so lost, dont know where to begin, I can't wait to see you in the show and hear your ideas

Posted by Alma – March 12, 2008 2:39 PM

Kim,
I want to do my bedroom in brown & blue (brown walls) is this a smart idea? I dont want to have to redo my bedroom in a year!

Posted by anita – March 12, 2008 2:50 PM

Kim: Excited for your show. Especially decorating with nothing. My daughter and her husband have 5 children + 1 godchild living in their home and they really have nothing. Never had a dresser or headboard or even a new bed. I gave them my bed when I moved. So how could they get a lovely, relaxing and organized room for little to no money? Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and the best of luck -- you're a great designer and I look forward to you and your show.

Hey Kim;
Sure could use your help with my bedroom. It is 15x25...fireplace at one end and not one wall with out a door or window.....I painted the fireplace burgundy and the walls a light gray; the window treatment is a mix of black and white drapes with a burgundy scarf; a loveseat in black with burgundy throw pillows; carpet is wall to wall in gray burber...furniture is light oak the bed a captain's bed..wood work is painted white ...what do I do about the bed?

Posted by david – March 12, 2008 3:34 PM

I was watching when you won. I am very happy for you. It is not everyone can make a living and do something that is exciting to do. I am looking forward to your show. GOOD LUCK

Kim,
I am so glad you won I was hoping you win! We have just brough a brick colonial house just built and i need help!

look forward to your new show!!

Posted by katie – March 12, 2008 4:25 PM

Congratulations on being HGTV's Design Star. I enjoyed your bubbly personality during the competition and am looking forward to your show.

Most of the furniture in my home is inherited--from my mother, my husband's mother, his grandmother, a dear friend. Well, you get the picture. I treasure these pieces, but needless to say, I have a great mishmash of styles. I desperately need help in blending them so they are esthetically pleasing. I want my home to look and feel like a home, not like a used furniture store. Help!

Posted by Joyce Morris – March 12, 2008 4:25 PM

I think we goofed. I bought a new brown leather custom sectional couch that seats 7. I think it's too big for my room and now the room looks like my mothers in the 1970's. We were trying to increase the seating in the room and now the couch seems to over power it. I wish I would of had a room guide to follow that showed windows,entrance ways and fire places.
Is there such a thing as a room guide?
If we wouldn't of spent so much money on it, I'd just start over.

Posted by Edith – March 12, 2008 4:27 PM

Kim Congradulations on your new show. I have been waiting months for you to come on HGTV with your great ideas like you showed when on Design Star. I especially loved it when you stood up for yourself and your ideas. Good image for us women. I am sure I will bombarding you with many questions when we start remodeling this spring.
Good Luck and God Bless Mary O.

Posted by Mary Ostrander – March 12, 2008 4:32 PM

Kim,
I to rooted for from the beginning. Love your ideas. So glad to see your show is finally coming on. Would love to see you come to the Northwest and our home will be available to you anytime. Great success to you.

Posted by Pamela – March 12, 2008 4:37 PM

Kim,
Congrats on your new show and I'm wishing you all the best!
Kim

Posted by Kim – March 12, 2008 4:37 PM

Belated congrats and an am eager to see your show. Have NO doubts about your talent and ability to produce great results. One tiny request, though....? Could you please try to include in your presenting dialogue, each show,the very basic room dimensions? We are watching on relatively small screens (as room sizes go) and it is often difficult for a viewer to translate what you have accomplished into a very differently sized room. And it would be really great if you could include homes on the east coast also. We all recognize budget and time issues - but sometimes we feel a little left out on the chances of being 'chosen' for a "re-do." Again - Good luck - Know you'll be great!

Posted by Lynne – March 12, 2008 4:54 PM

Rock On Kim!!! As an early fan of yours, I'm thrilled & excited to watch your new show. I know it'll be simply fabulous -- just like you & your decorating skills!

p.s. LOVE THE NAME OF YOUR SHOW....So apropos!

Posted by Jan, Seattle WA – March 12, 2008 4:59 PM

Kim - I am so excited for you and can't wait to see your show...your line.."No budget,no problem"....says it all (thank God someone understands!!!) I KNEW you would win the Design Star competition right from the 1st week.
ANYWAY - What can I do to make my ceilings look taller and less like a vast wasteland - my downstairs is all open now, and the ceilings are only 8' high, but there is approximately 1000 SF of floor space - there just seems to be soooooo much ceiling! I know about hanging the curtains higher, but I need help...any ideas?
I KNOW you will come up with something awesome.

Posted by kathy – March 12, 2008 4:59 PM

Hi Kim .I'm so vey glad you won. I want to change my smallest bedroom ( 9x10) to a sitting realaxation room. I removed the doors to the closet to for my sewing machine . How can I brighten this dark space?( NO BLUES)i WOULD ALSO LIKE MY TV, COMPUTER AND CHAISE TO FIT THIIN THIS SPACE. aLL SUGGESTION ARE WELCOME. tHANKS AND gOD bLESS.

Posted by Addie Copeland – March 12, 2008 5:02 PM

Kim, I'm so excited your show will be starting soon! I watched (and voted for you) each episode of Design Star and prayed you'd win.

We are in desperate need of more lighting in our living room, but don't care for the idea of adding more table lamps. Are canned/recessed lights still a good option? How difficult are they to install?

Good luck on your show, but then I know you'll be great!

Posted by Shari – March 12, 2008 5:03 PM

Looking forward to your new program and hoping it is great. HGTV has far too many silly shows on. We need one that everyday people can relate to and use the ideas presented. Good luck!!

Posted by Patsy – March 12, 2008 5:04 PM

Hi Kim,

Love your style and ideas! Now, how can I decorate around two rescued basset hounds and keep it fun for them too? We need some calming colors and sturdy furniture around here!

Posted by Dottie – March 12, 2008 5:13 PM

As a self-taught artist, I just want you to know I was so happy to see a self-taught designer win! Good luck with your show. David's becoming a little boring (as Project Runway would say, a "one-note.") Keep up the great work!

Posted by Lynn – March 12, 2008 5:21 PM

You rock, Girl! I just love all of your designs! If you ever pass through Texarkana AR, and you feel an urge to give some deco points to an ole' country girl (53), my number is 870216-1356. My husband and I need all the help we can get. Build in 2000 and is stumped for new ideas!
Will be watching you for sure in your up coming show! Love ya!!

Posted by Debra Gay – March 12, 2008 5:28 PM

hi kim. i have recently painted my bedroom mocha. for christmas my parents bought us a set for our bed and it is cream and gold. it compliments the mocha very well. my problem is i want to put vinyl tile or linoleum in my bedroom and i was wondering what color i could use. i also have mocha colored window treatments with cream shears in the middle to lighten them. your solution would be very helpful and well appreciated.

Posted by bekki crayton – March 12, 2008 5:28 PM

I am anxious to see your new show (and win the Dream HOuse). I was hoping you won Design Star. Good Luck! You'll be a great success like David Bromstad. Best Wishes!

Posted by Daneylle – March 12, 2008 5:56 PM

OK. This has bothered me as a consumer and home owner for awhile. When watching shows where furniture, curtains, etc. are reused, the designers often say that a piece has been "repurposed" when in fact, it was only reused. For example, I have heard that a coffee that was repainted and then used again as a coffee table was repurposed. I have heard that curtains that were lengthened and reused as curtains were repurposed. A shelf that was redesigned or renovated and reused as a shelf is NOT repurposed. If you turned that shelf into a dining room table, then it was repurposed. Please stop misusing your designer vocabulary. I can't take designers seriously when they don't know the difference between renovate and repurpose.

Posted by Rebecca – March 12, 2008 6:19 PM

Oh my gosh!! I'm so glad to see you finally with your own program. I've been waiting!!

You were amazing during the contest and I knew you would win.

Congratulations.

Posted by Jonsey – March 12, 2008 6:25 PM

I am soooooooooo glad to see you on your own program with HGTV. I voted so many times because I thought you were the greatest. Best of luck on your new program. I love purple and so I think you did a great presentation.

Posted by Dixie – March 12, 2008 6:34 PM

I love black furnitue ,but can not decide which colors are best to put with it.What color would you choose ?

Posted by linda – March 12, 2008 6:46 PM

I was thrilled that you won the design show. My husband and I had you picked from the beginning. Can't wait for your show to start. I love your creative ideas.

Posted by Diana – March 12, 2008 7:34 PM

Thanks for the ideas. I am so glad you won and I am an excited fan already. I love the way you encourage our creativity witht he answers to our questions. Stay cool!

Posted by plashan – March 12, 2008 7:45 PM

I rooted and voted for you like so many others. You seem to have a practicality about what you do, and you listened to people and what they wanted. That is the most important. Design can be beautiful, but if it isn't "you" it doesn't fit. I am sure you will enjoy great success.
I am anxiously awaiting your new show. I too have a design problem. I have a kelly green carpet in our bedroom. Dark woodwork, and dark furniture. I need to know what color I can paint my walls.

Posted by Mary – March 12, 2008 7:52 PM

I'm so glad for you and your new show. You were such a good contestant....worked hard and were down to earth. Good luck for a long, long run on this network. Marcia

Welcome Kim,
I loved it that you won the competition last year. The home in West Virginia was a much greater challenge than anyone else had. You came through like a real trouper and your skill and compassion won many of us over. I know you will be a great success in your HGTV career. We'll be watching !

Posted by Barbara – March 12, 2008 8:45 PM

Hi. I am planning on buying a new sofa, possibly also a storage ottoman for my tv room. Right now the walls are ragged a soft medium blue-green color with a chestnut parquet floor. I am leaning towards a brown sofa color but wonder how dark to go with the sofa. My side tables are very dark wood. Any suggestions?

Posted by trish – March 12, 2008 8:59 PM

Hi Kim,

During the finals of Design Star, I was thinking of a show title for you. I came up with "Sophisticated Style" with Kim Myles. I was a little dissapointed when I finally saw the name of your show "Myles of Stlye." It's a little "corny" but cute. Anyway, I'm still excited to see your show because I think you have a great eye! All the Best!

Posted by Jeanette – March 12, 2008 9:08 PM

Hi Kim, you awesome woman and the best winner. We recently bought a small beach cottage with a loft style bedroom. There is room for two dbl beds on one end and a sofa/hangout area on the other. The room is 30'long. I am seeking something other than folding screens to use as a petition at the foot of the beds for privacy and to maximize the use of this room for summer guests......good luck!!!The DVR is set!!!
Thanks, Linda

Posted by Linda – March 12, 2008 9:25 PM

Hi Kim,
A lot of success in your show. Hope I can see all the episodes. My concern is about plants inside the living and kitchen room. Don't know what to do with them when winter comes. I love the plants but it is hard to keep them inside the house healthy. They are beautiful outside, but come to inside some of them died. Any suggestion?

Posted by Miriam – March 12, 2008 9:41 PM

Help, me I am a disabled 52 year old woman, who always did every bit a decor in my home. I am from a 10 room home to a three room closet, it is tiny. I can not stand it. Not closet space, no power to cut and put up shelves. My sons are capable, but do not help a bit. Sad to say, I barely see them, unless I am critical.
I had 3/4 of my Pancreas out last year just a year ago. This means, no energy, no lifting, no painting over my head.
So much, the outside is maintance free, but the inside, is a night mare. I cannot afford much believe me, this has drained life. So, I am asking for ways to ad-lib and fix what I can cosmetically. With colors, drapes, rods, hooks, and hide. It needs Ti from make overs, but someone needs him more than I do.
Just some ideas.

Posted by Doreen E. Carter – March 12, 2008 10:17 PM

Kim, I adore you and cannot wait to see your show! I have been waiting for so long it seems! I have many decorating boo-boo's and dilemas. I am expecting some wonderful entertainment and hoping for some great ideas/help! Wish you were in KY, I would apply for your show. :( Best of luck and God bless you.

Posted by Karen Probus – March 12, 2008 11:32 PM

Kim,

Grace is the word that I see in your wonderful style. Loved all your touches of grace in rich colors and elegance. I watch HGTV all the time, but still trapped in a time zone. If you want a tough challenge to bring us back to the 21 century, let us know. Can't wait to see your show.

Posted by Barbara – March 12, 2008 11:34 PM

Hi Kim, What advice can you give me to get my husband motivated to do my kitchen. He bought stone flooring for it 15 years ago! Its still setting outside and stacked up. My kitchen is falling apart and the flooring is falling apart. Is there any kinda quick fix so I am not so embarrassed to have people come to my home for dinner? By the way the count tops are white and no matter how hard I clean I can not get them cleaned

Posted by Karen – March 13, 2008 3:23 AM

Hi Kim, you were my choice from the beginning. You are pratical, professional and have STYLE! The hotel room make over was the most original design I have ever seen and that floor-what can I say! Enjoy yourself, be natural and give us low cost makeovers that amateurs can feel comfortable doing ourselves. I will be watching every Sunday. Good luck and God Bless!

Hi Kim,

I too was excited when you won Design Star. I think you have great energy, listen to the client and have a great sense of color. I was wondering what else you recommend in the way of back splashes that is economical- besides mirrors. Knowing my kids, they may throw something and they'd be broken (I have small toddlers and preschoolers). Tile can be a little pricey. Any suggestions?

Posted by Nicole – March 13, 2008 9:32 AM

It,s about time! I,ve been waiting to see you on your show since the ending of Design Star. I have loved your ideas from the start! I,m waiting with bated breath for your first show. You go girl!!

Posted by Donna K Joy – March 13, 2008 9:36 AM

Congaratulations on your show. Can't wait to see you do your thing. My question is about frosted glass. In the master bedroom we have hugh galss block windows in the tub area but at the top is regular windows. Yes some one can see you when you stand up in the tub. Do you think that frosted glass could help? Can I do this treatment myself? What about stenciling with frosted windows? Please help. THANKS

Congratulations Kim on your new show. Looking forward to watching. My dilemna is my husband and I are downsizing now that we're empty-nesters from a 4,000 sq ft house to a 1,200 sq ft house. I'm having a terrible time trying to figure out how to fit in the things I want to keep without making this little house look like an obstacle course! I need storage ideas!!!!

Posted by Penny – March 13, 2008 10:35 AM

I watched you win the decorator finals and I must say I was delighted.I like your fresh approach to a problem...anyone can spend 20,000 dollars on a new renovation and have it come out super...but I am hoping that you can show us how to do a lot with color ,fabric, etc. on a smaller budget ...How to decorate small spaces because lets face it most of us do not live in mansions.You can be our Champion KiM combining elegance with a small budget and I know it can be done. Keep the Feng Shui thing going that you have a natural for also ..Much Luck with your show ..You are a sweetie...Faith

Posted by Faith Bailey – March 13, 2008 11:11 AM

Hi Kim!
I have a 46" plasma TV on a nice stand in a corner of my family room (must stay). I need advice on how to decorate the wall behind it. The TV is rectangular, so are pictures, etc. bothersome to the eye. Please help I want to make this a nice focal point in room as furniture faces it. I think a silk screen or large plant would be alot to put behind the TV area wise.
Thanks so much,
Diane

Posted by Diane Sefton – March 13, 2008 11:22 AM

Just wanted to say congratulations! I hoped you would win. It's so cool that it's recognized that not all have to be schooled, some of us are naturals.
Waiting to see the show. I think you'll be great! Hope you and your family are adjusting to the new life well. Maybe one day if you want to come to Houston you can do my house for me, and see some of the things I have already done to it myself, some still to be completed i.e. crown molding,LOL!
Wish I didn't have a traveling fobia I'd come be your assistant!

Hi Kim! I'm excited about your show - can hardly wait until Sunday. I'm sure I'm in for a treat.

Here's my problem - I have difficulty selecting the right color - in fact, I have trouble selecting any color. Until last summer every room in my house was a pale shade of grey. I recently painted the kitchen in my 1953 Craftsman Style (I think) house a wonderful shade of yellow. Prior to the nice yellow, I painted the kitchen Big Bird yellow (it looked nice in the store). In the very near future I would like to update my basement family room. One side of the room is knotted pine that my husband loves and refuse to paint over. The other side of the room is painted (over old paneling) white. I need a nice color for that dungeon family room. What would you suggest?

KIM! I am so glad your show is starting soon, I have been waiting for quite some time. I love your artistic view, your style and your attitude! Bless you and your family!

Hi Kim,
As a fan of HGTV, I have a design or better yet a functional question. It's my small laundry room, I know this sounds crazy but there is a design flaw!!! It's the doorway to the garage and has a door into the kitchen with a counter/sink behind the kitchen door. The problem is that the washer/dryer is in the way of the garage door and their are cabinets that cannot be used/reached, on the other side (maybe its my height) but really I can't use them. Do you have any thoughts?

Kim, I've been waiting for your show! Good luck!!

Hi Kim!

My husband I are are renovating our basement into a family room space. I was wondering if you had any ceiling ideas as the ceiling is just rafters and pipes and I want to make it look like finished extension of the house on a budget (ceiling tiles are a budget buster for as many as we would need)? I also would like some carpet solutions as we have a 24 by 26 area to carpet but would like to remain budget conscious? I love that you have now got your own show to share your talents to the world. Congratulations.

I need to know if I should stay home on Sunday and wait for the Dream House Crew????????????

Posted by elizabeth soule – March 13, 2008 4:13 PM

Love Design Star & am happy for David's success. We all know you'll be practical, fun & helpful.
I love the Romantic look, especially in bedrooms. Would love to see more lace, pink, roses, etc on decorating shows. I realize I'm in the minority, but I do know of several people who love the look. Also, some touches of Victorian - (not the haunted house stuff) Wishing you years of happy HGTV shows. judy

Hi Kim,
Congrats on your new show! I would like to paint my bedroom a pale gold with a burgandy accent wall(14ft.). My drapes and bedding are a rich gold and I have a burgandy valence trimmed in gold. The floor is wheat ,the ceiling is white and the furniture is dark brown. I am not opposed to accessorizing with burgandy and painting the walls gold.
Thanks ,

I can't wait for your show to begin. America definitely chose the best. I voted for you then prayed, then voted some more and then prayed some more! Your personality and style are great and I'm sure 'Myles of Style' will be a hit. Good luck and Blessings.

Kim, I'm so glad that you win...Congrats...My walls are all WHITE and I would like to add some color but they are so high...My question: with high walls would it be best to just paint half the wall?

Posted by Shirley – March 13, 2008 10:50 PM

Tomorrow's your BIG Launch day, Kim. I think it won't be like an ocean-liner launch, but more like lift-off out-of-this-world rocket launch. I see the fireworks and celebrations everywhere. God Bless.

Congrats Kim..
I am so looking forward to your ideas. We live in a very small home & the fireplace is on an angle in our living area. Difficult to place furniture within this space. Would love to see you address a problem such as this. I don' think this has ever been addresed.

and an opening right beside the door that is sporting 3 columns....any suggestions I need help..thank you so much

Congratulations! Kim. I'm from Puerto Rico. I really wish HGTV includes Puerto Rico in your shows, but I know i'ts not so easy. I really need help with my living room. Can I send photos of my living room so you can give some ideas?

Thank you so much! Sorry for my english! I'm not fully bilingual.

Hope to hear from you....

Keep up teh great work!!

Posted by Kim – March 18, 2008 3:29 PM

Hi Kim. Loved your show. I have a problem. My home has old paneling. How can I update it? There is too much of it to fill in all the lines and I am on a very tight budget. HELP!

Posted by Kathy – March 19, 2008 4:24 PM

Hello Kim,
How do I get a response to my decorating problem? Is there a place where you post answers to our questions? Thank you,

Mary

Posted by mary holiday- Houston Texas – March 20, 2008 2:42 AM

Kim I put vinyl peel and stick on my backsplash. It does not stick well at that angle. It started coming down after a few days. I glued it with rubber cement and it fell again.
In determination to get it to stay and not to spend more money I used liquid nails and it has stayed. Looks great also. My backsplash does not get wet or dirty, really. I think it will be fine.
I was gluing to paneling that had been painted wallpapered, etc. I did sand it before hand and it only helped in some areas. I hope this helps someone if they decide to do it.

Posted by Patty – March 31, 2008 9:25 AM

Yeah Kim so glad you WON!!!!!!

I have a simple problem but want to save money on common mistakes. I have a navy blue sectional in my family room. I have hard wood floors through out family room and kitchen. Both rooms are visible of each other. The only thing that seperates the room is a half wall. I made my curtains for the family room french doors(that extends to the Sun Room)(14X14). They are full lenghth drapes to the floor and the design is toile (Black and white). My kitchen area has bay windows with a door in the middle. Toile curtains match the one in the family room. My appliances are black front and eventually will install a new gas cooktop along with a new black oven with stainless trim. What colors can I use for accessories and for area carpet, and walls. I love the new apple or lime green. Can you help me break it down to where and what should I buy in these colors? What other colors should I use? What type of coffee table should I get for the family room and I need to replace my round kitchen table in my kitchen area. My area that I'm working with has stained wood beams and trim with honey oak kitchen cabinets. I also do not have a pantry. Any recommondations on where to store food and toilet paper etc. Help me I desperately need help to my 21 year old beautiful timeless house. I hope that my problem can help others who have homes stuck in the 80's.
Thank-you! Linda April 13th.

Posted by Linda – April 13, 2008 2:38 PM

Yeah Kim, I'm so happy for your success! You deserve being the winner. You are so very talented and willing to share great ideas with us common people. I need to know what kind of colors to use that would look great with a dark navy blue Hancock and Moore sectional? This sectional is in my family room. I am also currently looking for a big coffee table. What color pillows and how many and where do I place them? Rug-what color? I would need a 8x12. I also have a sunroom that you can enter from the den. I made black and white toile full length curtains that balloon onto the hard wood floors. These curtains adorn the french doors. I have a half wall that seperates the family room from my kitchen area. I also have a round table with black leather swival chairs. I would like to replace the 20 year old table and replace it with what? I also have a bay window area and made the same curtains I made for the French doors. In the center of the two bay windows is the door that leads to my deck. My kitchen cabinets are honey oak and so are the ceiling beans and trim. I would like to use complentary colors and cookware. Any suggestions? I like lime green and yellow w/a touch of orange. But what items do I get in these colors? My stove, refrig,dish-washer, stove-top and oven are all primary black and future oven and gas-stove will be trimmed out in stainless. I have hard-wood flooring and the color is honey oak through out the downstairs. Help me please. I'm almost getting my 21 year old house out of the 80's. I'm sure there are a alot of people with my problem. Again, please, please help me from making mistakes. I trust your advice. I loved everything you did before you won your own show. I'll be watching and taping the show. Good-luck to you. You deserve it! Linda

Posted by anita – May 1, 2008 3:35 PM

Kim, We watched your show it was wonderful. Could you tell me if there is a way to take a 5 piece sectional and make it into a loveseat and couch. We bought a new 5 piece sectional and then moved to a house that needs a loveseat and couch. Is there a way to make the end of the short section not look strange since it will not have an arm on one end.

Thanks again,my husband and I loved the show.
