Q. Can someone give me a guesstimate of shipping cost of shipping a one bedroom: bedroom set and living room set. From Phoenix, AZ to New York, NY (Brooklyn)

A. The best way to determine the cost is to contact a local moving company. Look in the yellow pages for Mayflower, Allied or one of the others listed under moving and have them come give you a written estimate.
They are also the safest way to move furniture. They are insured and have experienced, professional people to wrap and move your furniture.

why are interior doors so expensive- and where can I get something reasonably priced?
Q. I need 2 different types of interior door. French doors for my bedroom because the doorway is oversized and of an odd size, so nothing else will really fit there, and 2 sets of closet doors- 1 for the closet in the bedroom and 1 for the closet in the living room. The closet in the bedroom will more likely then not have to use the closet doors that run on a track- the ones with the slats in them. I think they are called bifold doors. The closet in the living room will probably have to use this type of door as well, it's another one of those oversized/oddly sized doorways. All the major stores (home depot, lowes, etc.) seem to be asking hundred of dollars for even the most basic door, and I haven't been able to track down bifold closet doors at all so far, though I admit I haven�t been looking long. Any suggestions on where to go to get reasonably priced doors of these types in Brooklyn NY or somewhere close by? Thanks!
I don't own the space, It's an apartment I'm renting. The landlord may contribute a little or take off some from my rent, but if I go and buy something really expensive he definitely won't cover it. I don't want to spend too much on a place I can't keep, but I need bedroom and closet doors.
Some people say a few hundred dollars for a door isn't expensive. A door is basically a wood rectangle with a hole for the knob, hinges, and some decorative elements added if you like. It shouldn't cost more then a dresser, couch, or big screen tv. I had purchased an exterior door -solid wood, already finished, primed, and painted, and not on sale- at home depot a few years ago for $60. I refuse to believe that your average door is now worth several hundred. If that's the going price then things really are way out of control and I'm going to have to start making my own furniture.

A. I just looked at Home Depot online, and while the doors are a couple of hundred dollars, it's really not that unreasonable a price.
They have a mirror bifold for about $161 - it's really a good price. Here's the link to it. http://www.homedepot.com/prel80HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&IRC=2&searchText=door&CNTKEY=SuperFeatures2/Building_Supplies/PD_Doors_0505&BV_SessionID=@@@@0242893452.1156086882@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgaddijdjieklcgelceffdfgidgln.0
Here's a plain interior door for a regular closet and it's $118 http://www.homedepot.com/prel80HDUS/EN_US/diy_main/pg_diy.jsp?CNTTYPE=PROD_META&IRC=2&searchText=door&CNTKEY=SuperFeatures2/Building_Supplies/PD_Doors_0505&BV_SessionID=@@@@0242893452.1156086882@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgaddijdjieklcgelceffdfgidgln.0
I sort of doubt you'll find them for much less. You can check into this "Direct Buy" store (I see their infommercials a lot and have just had them send me a brochure), but I have no idea if they even carry doors (but I'd guess they do).
Good luck.
I'd also be careful about getting items the way some have suggested - if a home is being demolished, there may have been some issues in the home - like termites - and you sure don't want to bring them into your house! Just be careful if you do it that way.

How much home insurance & tax for a cheap studio?
Q. I know 0 about this: are home insurance rates annual or monthly? Could someone give me just a very rough idea about how much a cheap studio's home insurance & tax would cost? (in upstate ny)
A. I don't know about New York but about how insurance works I can give you the 411.
Alright, based on the rates set by the Insurance Commission of your state the price will be set.
Here in NC, a home for, let's say $150,000 in coverage (coverage is the replacement of the home, your personal property, any other structures, liability, and med pay). If you are buying a studio apartment then it will usually cover the personal space, loss of use if ever damaged or destroyed - helps pay for a place to live for a while, personal possessions, liability - helps if you are ever sued for neglegence or detrement of character, and med pay.
Most insurance companies will allow monthly, quarterly, or yearly payments. If you have a mortgage company, most mortgage companies will have a way where your insurance and tax bill can be included into you monthly payment. Here is an example of what a condo policy in my state looks like...........
$250,000 home
Replacement cost $285,000
Replacement of contents $71,250 (this can be negotiable)
Other structures $28,500 (storage buildings/watersheds)
Liability $300,000
Medpay $1000 (incase someone is hurt on your prpty)
Deductible $500 (your part incase of any loss)
Total premium average is around $650 per year
Call around and get some estimates. They will want square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, entrance, exits, emergency exits, what story it is on, any renovations such as electrical and plumbing within the last 15yrs, how many person that will live in the home, and any pets and what type.
When it comes to tax, look for the website for your local tax office. Your county tax office will usually have a website that may have a tax estimator for the type and purchase price of your studio. If not, they can give you an estimate over the phone. Best to have an idea of how much you are going to purchase the studio for before you do. If you are renting then you will not need any of this unless stated in the contract.
Good luck and sorry I couldn't be of more help.

A. The new great color is grey. A light grey and bright white would make a wonderful backdrop for your new apartment.

I assume you want to keep things as open and airy as possible.
Ikea and apartment style furniture.
Try apartment therapy also.http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/ny/at-email/weekend-sales-guide-21210-nyc-bo-dc-chi-la-bay-area-online-108714
I love turquoise and you can use it in so many ways.http://www.houseofturquoise.com/search/label/Bedroom You can get fine furniture but on a small scale.Bold colors with the grey will make a statement.
Always get the largest bed you can.
I am unsure of how you will use your second bedroom.Mayne a smaller bed and office space ?
The office can have a plain black table facing out the door , grey walls and yellow accents.
