I want to paint the walls in my bathroom (not the tiles themselves, just the part of the wall above the tiled part). The tiles go from the floor to about halfway up the wall, and then the top half of the wall is plaster. The tiles are off-white (almost bisque) with the emerald green trim. It's a full bath, but really small with little natural light except in the late morning. The tiles are not the focal point of the room, except for possibly the green trim. Our fixtures (mirror, sconces, and towel bar) are brushed nickel. Any suggestions?

I've read that the average commission a realtor charges when you sell your house is 6% (before the buying agent receives their cut). My agent charges 7%. Is that too high? With the real estate market and the economy not being very strong right now, I'm wondering if it's in my best interest to find a cheaper agent and minimize my closing costs/fees. Of course, I still want an agent that will aggressively advertise my property and host open houses. Is 7% an okay number in the St. Louis area or is this too high? What have others paid in recent months? Thank you.
