Your tile should be "neutral enough" for buyers. Want a "pop" of color? Skip red tiles and put a red vase on the counter. Don't install tiles that are hand painted with French wildflowers unless you are never moving; a minimalist may buy your home. Some discount sites will work with you. They'll pull things and send out samples. Don't buy without seeing the tile in your home. Buy a few tiles in the big box stores to take home. Keep the receipt to return them. Choose easy clean and easy to install. Here is where big mistakes happen. If you've chosen the wrong color tile, you are out of luck. Ditto for a pattern that makes you dizzy. Key your color tile to what already exists in the kitchen. This is not the place to introduce a brand new big color into the mix. Take either photos or samples of cabinets and countertops to the store (or upload on a website to the consultant). Stay in either warm or cool tones. If you don't know what that is, talk to the professionals. Tile colors ends up being affected by the room's lighting and the other colors in the room. Yet another reason to take some samples home. Let's say you have white crown molding as trim, warm brown cabinets, warm oak floors, a warm but light beige in your counter. That's your palette. Stick with it. A tile should pick up at least one of those colors. Some people think white looks clean; others dislike white as it shows dirt. Some people like "neutrals" (beiges); others like pure colors. Don't let the salesperson substitute his or her preferences onto you! Backsplashes are usually under cabinets. If your kitchen is already dark, don't put dark tiles in the backsplash. Use lighter colors. Look at the tile choices under your under-cabinet lighting. Old fluorescent lighting tends to be weird. If you are installing LED fixtures, look at the samples under LED lights. The finished color is a function of the colors in the tile and the grout. Don't forget to choose that color at the beginning! Mastic holds the tiles to the wall; grout is the stuff between the tiles; its color is important. Grout comes is all sort of neutral colors but get the shade correct. If you want grout to contrast, fine. But figure out whether your contrast color is right or wrong.It should pick out some existing color. It's relatively easy to change grout colors with grout paint -- especially if you do it when the tile is still new. Otherwise, it becomes a hassle.

summary: Think about resale. Get professional advice, either in the big box store or online. Consider color and pattern. Consider lighting. Factor in the grout.

It's nice if he says "I love you too" after you say it but it's important that you aren't the only person saying the initial I love you. He needs to say it sometimes too. This shows that he thinks about how much he cares about you and that he's not just following the standard script that he feels is expected. Don't get too worried if he doesn't, though. Some guys are very shy about sharing their feelings. Ask him why he never says it first and tell him that you like to hear it. This might make him more comfortable saying it to you. Someone who wants to enjoy your body before your heart is willing clearly doesn't have your needs in mind. The same is true in reverse: if you aren't willing to wait for him to be ready, you may need to reevaluate the level of commitment you have toward him. If one or both of you can't see past your own desires when it comes to sex, you may also find it difficult to put the needs of the other ahead of your own desires when it comes to committing or starting a family. Keep the idea of balance in mind. Neither one of you should neglect the needs of the other, which means that, along with caring for his needs, you also need to make sure he cares for your needs! If he frequently tells you what to do, tries to run your life, or manipulates your emotions to get what he wants, watch out! This guy is insecure and feels that he has the upper hand in your relationship. "The one" will be secure with you and let you be who you are. If he refuses to include you in his social plans and avoids telling you what he and the guys did last night, he obviously isn't willing to include you in his life and might even be up to something shady. If the two of you aren't in the stages of a relationship where you openly discuss future possibilities, pay attention to whether or not he drops any hints. Even something small, like wondering what the two of you will do for an event that's at least a month or two away, is a good sign. If he proposes to you too soon (e.g., before 1 year), take some time to analyze why he is rushing. If you are inclined to say yes, suggest a long engagement to be sure. If he absolutely won't discuss a future together even after a significant amount of time (say a year) he is probably not considering one.

summary: Notice when he says "I love you". Make sure he doesn't pressure you to become intimate before you are ready. Pay attention to whether or not he's controlling. Note whether or not he keeps you from his pals. Notice whether or not he alludes to your future.

If you don't already know how short you want to cut your shirt, put it on, and make a mark on it where you want the new hem to be. You can use a dressmaker's chalk, dressmaker's pen, or even a sewing pin for this. Take the shirt off when you are done, and keep it turned inside out. This may also work on other shirts made from stretchy material. It is not recommended for shirts made out of woven material, such as linen, due to fraying. If you want to be extra neat, draw a line using a dressmaker's chalk or pen first, so you will know where to cut. Use a ruler to measure up from the bottom edge of the shirt as you draw the line. This will ensure that the shirt will be the same length all around. This will be the inside of your hem. Your shirt should now be the exact length you want it to be. You don't have to double-fold or finish the raw edge, because T-shirt material does not fray much, if at all. If you want a nicer finish on the inside, then you can serge the raw edge, but it is not necessary. Make sure that you use a heat setting that is safe for the material your shirt is made out of. This will give your shirt a nice, crisp edge all along the bottom. If you do not own a sewing machine, or if you do not know how to sew, slip some iron-on hem tape into the hem first. The results will be stiffer, but at least you won't have to do any sewing. Use a color that matches your shirt, and remove the pins as you sew. For a more professional finish, you can use a double-pointed needle. Alternatively, you can sew a second line right beneath the first one; this only works with the stretch-stitch, however. If you are using iron-on hem tape, simply iron over the hem following the instructions on the package. Be sure to sew back and forth over the start and end of your sewing a few times to prevent unraveling. Try to start sewing at one of the side seams. This will help conceal the start and end of your sewing better. Your shirt is now ready to wear!
summary: Turn your shirt inside out. Cut your shirt inch (1.27 centimeters) longer than you want it to be. Fold the hem up by inch (1.27 centimeters). Press the hem flat with an iron. Secure the hem with sewing pins. Sew as close to the raw edge as you can using a zigzag stitch or a stretch stitch. Snip off any excess or loose threads.
