I have an old kitchen from the 1920′s/1930′s that I want to redo. I don’t have the money to get really modern cabinets/counters and all that. I am simply having a new wood look floor installed. The only cabinets are a small section of painted old style, from floor to ceiling, cabinets with glass doors on the top part, which I love. The room size is 13′ x 14′ with 9′ ceilings. I have a lot of woodwork because there are two windows and four doorways and the cabinets in the room. So far I have primed everything and my dilemma now is a color scheme. At first I was thinking all white walls and woodwork for a bright and fresh look and add color with new curtains and decorations, etc.. But now I need ideas, because I just can’t decide. I tend to like an old fashioned or country look. I dont want to stain, I want to used only paint. Anyone have any ideas? My light in the kitchen is punched tin and my kitchen set is the farm table style. My floor will be an oak color (fake wood) laminent. Also, if anyone knows of any websites that can give me ideas, that would be great too. I get country home magazine but it hasn’t been too helpful. My livingroom that leads into my kitchen has a country decor with tans, burgundy and black. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

My wheelchair has leg rests that swing. They make it difficult to get in and out of my bathroom and other doorways. I am looking for a bar that I’ve seen on wheelchairs that fits at the bottom front and would allow my feet to be straight below my knees. Does anyone know where I can buy one or what the part is called so I can shop for it? It would keep my feet from getting run over by the wheels when I have the leg rests on the chair.

I have recently purchased an Iron Gym pull up bar for my doorway in my dorm room. I had already measured my doorway and realized that the bar won’t fit because it’s not long enough. I’m gonna be doing chair assisted pull ups, so my whole body weight won’t be on the bar. I’m wondering if it would hurt for me to make my own cross bar so that the bar will fit in my doorway. What do you think?

The bar fits up to 32 in doorways, but I’m gonna have to make a bar that will fit my 38 in doorway.
I don’t want to do anything that could get me hurt, but this is my best option here at school.
