    Hi,
    There is somthing you can try, as you can tell once the carpet has been bleached the colour is gone for good. My Mum cats were bringing in red mud on there paws and leaving red dots on her grey carpet and there was know way of getting the stains out.
    What I did was carefully put bleach on the stained red paw marks to remove the colour, then bought fabric dye the closest to the carpet colour mixed a small amount with water and carefulIy put it on the carpet and blended it in with the rest of the carpet.
    If possible try it out somewhere on a piece of carpet where no one can see it so you can work out how weak or strong to mix the fabric dye.
    It work out great for my Mum, you can’t see the stains or where I had to bleach the carpet. Hope this helps you out. Noelene

    Hi Cheryl,
    Great to hear back from you. Won’t it make for fun diner conversation, that a couple of Aussies help you out with your paint colours. Or better still, don’t tell them anything, let them think how clever you are.
    Hear from you soon regards Noelene

    Hi,
    I have found a couple of sites for you that could help you out. The first one gives a good example on how to get that wood finish on a table. http://www.diy.com The other shows you a picture of a faux painted fire place. They used timber molding the give it a great look. http://www.metroplitanmdg.com/furniture.htm . Hope this helps you out. Noelene

    Hi Cheryl,
    My brother is still keen to help you out. I think its given him a buzz to think he can help someone on the other side of the world. If you are not quite ready to paint don’t worry just send me an e-mail if you would still like some help.

    Hi Debbie,
    Yes you can cut real wood mini blinds down.But you are limited on how far you can go. If you look at the main bracket at the top of the blinds you will be able to see how much you can cut off both ends. My first lot of mini timber blinds I took to a blind maker to cut for me. The next lot I did myself, but you need a jigsaw and cramps to hold them still while you cut. Hope it works out OK for you. Noelene

    Hi Amy,
    I have a concrete pool and use loads of bags of salt in it and it has never flaked like your driveway, and I live near the beach where there is heaps of salt and all the steps down to the sand and water are made of concrete and they are not flakeing.
    Like Ted said you should check it out.

    Hi Cherly,
    I spoke to David last night and he is really keen to help out. He loves this sort of thing. I read the e-mails to him that you posted on *** **** and within seconds his mind went into over time. It was so funny listening to him go on. He thought the best thing would be to use Dulux paints because we are quite sure you can buy it in the USA.I found a sight that will help you find a store near you. http://www.iciduluxpaints.com
    I am also new to this sight, I only found it because I was trying to find out what was wrong with my dryer. Before then I have never heard of *** ****. David still lives in the dark ages when it comes to computers, he dosn’t have a PC let alone an e-mail address. So I am going to forward your photos to Steven my other brother that also lives in Perth Western Australia (Perth is a 4 hour flight west a Sydney) David is seeing him this tuesday for diner.
    Don’t forget Aust. is just over a day ahead of the USA. time here is now 11.10 am Thursday
    Hear from you soon regards Noelene

    If you can’t don’t worry just give me as much info as you can. How’s the weather where you are? its hot and humid here in Sydney. Regards Noelene

    Hi Cheryl,
    I forgot to ask, do not have a theme in mind like Tuscany, Asian, Indian, African or Egyptian to name a few. Or do you have paintings, pictures or ornaments that are a certain style you would like to work with. The more I can tell my brother the better. He has been doing this sort of work for years and he can come up with the right colours just by giving him a mental picture of what he is working with. regards Noelene

    Hi Cheryl,
    What shade of blue is in your carpet and would your room suit a coloured feature wall.Is your room an open plan living or a closed in room. What style of furniture do you have, is it leather, fabric, old world charm or modern. If you can e-mail me a picture of your room it would be great.
    noeleneramsay@hotmail.com Because I will phone my brother in Perth Western Australia and discribe it to him. David is brilliant at this sort of thing. He is the only person that I have ever known that can visualize the colours and look that will look fantastic in your home. I live in Sydney Aust. so if I don’t get back to you soon its because of the time change. look forward to helping you. Regards Noelene
