DEAR DEBBIE: We have a coffered ceiling in our bedroom. The coffer and the main ceiling are painted white. I’d like to add molding, but I don’t know where it would look best or what color it should be in relation to the ceiling. I’d also like to paint the coffer a different shade than the ceiling. Please advise. Thank you. — Barbara
DEAR HELOISE: We have decided to remodel our home, with the bathroom being the first room. To save money, my wife and I wanted to do as much of the work as we could. We installed new cabinets and a new sink.

: I bought a Mission cactus last year. The tag said to water it well until it “was established,” but I didn’t really know how much water to give it after that. I looked up Mission cactus on the Internet and most sites said little or no water, or arid dry. It has grown quite a bit since I planted it, and even now has small new growth on a few ends. Lately though it has twists and folds with a yellowish color in the middle of the “hands.” I have no idea whether I am watering it enough or too much as it doesn’t respond much differently. I really like this plant, and it is a focal point when anyone comes through our gate into the courtyard.
