A. Start out basic and then you can add on.
If you don't have anything at all to start with but have unlimited resources financially, hire a decorator.
If not, find a comfortable bed you like, set of dishes, pots and pans, cooking utensils, throw rugs, sofa, reading chair, a few end tables, night stand, set of towels you like the color of, and then build on those. Curtains last.
Bedding depends upon the climate. Light blankets for warmer climates and down or wool quilts for winters where there is snow and possible power outages.
For outside there are two basics; a lawn mower and a garden hose.
You will figure out how much stuff you need and the sizes of beds and how much furniture can hold based upon the dimensions of each room. A large basket of towels may not fit in a master bathroom, but it can if the size is right and ease space in the linen storage area.
If you travel a lot it's much easier if you have no live plants or pets to take care of.

What is a good paint color for a bedroom?
Q. They have many colors to choose from these days any suggestions ??Looking not to dark and not to light in between color to add life to my room ...
A. It depends on what mood you wish to achieve for your bedroom. Different colors are said to have different effects on the human psychology. For more information, you might like to look up �color psychology� for this. Color psychology is a study concerned with the effects of color on mood, emotion, behavior.
Color is also often used to represent certain characteristics or image, depending on what the room is used for. Here are some ways colors are used, either psychologically or as a representation of certain ideas/image-building:-
Blue - calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. Some would say that a blue space �feels� cooler too!
Yellow - a bright color that is often described as cheery and warm. I�ve read somewhere that a yellow room �feels� warmer somehow compared to a room with the same dimensions and temperature setting that is painted blue.
Red - a bright, warm color that evokes strong emotions. Deep Red or maroon is also often related to passion. I�ve read somewhere that the color red and orange could help trigger hungry thoughts, and that�s why many restaurants (especially fast food retails) use a lot of red in their decors and corporate logos.
Green - a cool color that symbolizes nature and the natural world. Some say it�s a good color for spiritual healing.
Pink - essentially a light red and is usually associated with love and romance. It�s also often thought of as a color to express femininity
Purple - the symbol of royalty and wealth. A rich and luxurious color and rather overwhelming if applied to every plane of the bedroom walls � especially if the room is small. You might like to use it only as a feature wall (like, where your bed�s headboard rests against) and have all the other walls in lighter or softer colors.
White represents purity or innocence. It also makes the room feel airier and bigger. It�s also the most environmental-friendly color choice because it reflects light so you don�t need to use that many lighting fixtures at one time or another.
Black is often associated with death and morning in many cultures. It is also associated with unhappiness, and even sexuality (masculine). On the other hand, black also represents formality, and sophistication. Imagine a combination of black and silver. Or black and gold.
Brown is a natural color that evokes a sense of strength and reliability. Personally, I wouldn�t use brown paint for internal walls. Brownish wallpapers are okay or if I want a more natural feel to areas like the kitchen or living room, I�ll just use natural stone cladding or timber paneling for the feature walls.
Whoa� okay so I like talking about spatial treatment � it's a part of my job! Sorry for rambling on so. Anyway, here�s a website that could help derive the perfect paint color for you. http://www.dulux.co.uk/colours/experts/colour_consultant/index.jsp
Happy painting, Rita!

How much do I cut the laminate flooring planks?
Q. How do I measure the planks? How do I know how much to cut? Thanks- it's my first time
A. Step 1: Figure Out How Many Cartons of Planks You Will Need
Tivoli planks come in 15 spare foot cartons. To figure how many cartons you need to buy you will need to measure the dimensions of your room. Then multiply the length by the width. This will give you the square footage of your room. Next take this figure and multiply it by 1.1. This will give you a little lea way for matching and staggering your planks. Finally divide the last figure by 15. Then round this figure up to the next hole number. This is how many cartons you will need to buy to complete your project.
Step 2: Remove the Old Flooring
Removing the old flooring is an important step. You need to not only remove the carpet and pad, or tiles, but you also need to remove staples, nails and old adhesives. You will need a very smooth surface to lay your planks down on. Tools that make this job easier include: a claw foot hammer, a crow bar, needle nose pliers, staple remover and a flat head screwdriver.
Step 3: Prep the floor
Because these planks are pliable and not stiff like laminate flooring is, you need to make sure that your sub-floor is free of debris, dirt, nails and staples. Anything left on your floor is going to impact the look of your finished floor. After removing staples and nails, you will want to sweep the area clean. If there are adhesive residues left on the sub-floor sand it down so that it is smooth and flat. If there are nails that you can't remove pound them flush with the sub-floor. At this point you will also want to remove the baseboards and threshold barriers.
Step 4: Lay Down Your Planks
Now that the room is prepped you are ready to begin. I began in one corner of my kitchen and worked my way from left to right. To lay a plank down all you have to do is peel of the backing, set it down where you want it and apply pressure. The plank has its own adhesive so it will bond to the sub-floor without any extra glue. The second row will need to be staggered by a half plank. The easiest way to do this is to flip the plank over and measure to where the half way mark should be. Use a T-Square and a straight edged razor to score the plank. Then bend the plank and it will snap along the score line. Then peel the backing of one of the half planks and place it at the head of the second row. Complete that row. The third row will start with a full plank. Continue to rotate between full plank and half plank row starters.
Step 5: Mistakes and Gaps
After you have finished laying down your planks you will probably noticed that there are some gaps and spaces between your planks. Spaces can occur if you cut a plank unevenly, or if your floor is not even or level. If you have spaces don't worry. Simply buy a small jar of wood putty in a shade that is close to the color of your Tivoli planks. Then work the putty into the space and level them off. The putty will actually add to the beauty of your floors by making them look more authentic.
Step 6: Complete Your Project
The final step is to replace the threshold barriers and baseboards. This will complete the room and create a great looking kitchen, family room or bedroom. When everything is in place sweep the floor clean and wipe up extra wood putty with a damp cloth.

Can somebody explain to me in detail exactly what happened in Donnie Darko?
Q. The alternate reality thing, what happened?
Was it some kind of weird vision he had before he was killed by the plane crash?
Was it some kind of weird vision he had before he was killed by the plane crash?
A. PU = Primary Universe (The Universe we exist in now)
TU = Tangent Universe (The parallel Universe that most of the film is set in)
Time is usually a stable construct but every now and then the fourth dimension gets corrupted. When this happens it creates a TU which is highly unstable and will only last a few weeks before it collapses and destroys itself and the PU. This is what happens, there is a corruption in time and a jet engine falls through it. This has created a TU and the next 28 days is set in this alternate reality.
The ArtifactArtifacts are evidence that a TU has been created and are made from metal. In this case the Artifact is a giant jet engine. It�s the Artifact that makes the Universe so unstable. The TU is supposed to be an exact copy of the PU but it has one anomaly, and extra duplicate jet engine. The only way to close the TU safely is to guide the Artifact back into the PU through a time portal. By removing the extra jet engine it balances out the Universe allowing the TU to collapse without destroying the PU.
Donnie is chosen as the Living Receiver. It�s the Living Receiver�s role to guide the Artifact back to the PU. The Living Receiver is usually blessed with some supernatural powers during their time in the TU including increased strength, the ability to conjure fire and water and telekinesis.
He uses strength to bury the axe into the school water pipe and solid bronze mascot.
He uses fire to burn Jim Cunningham�s house down
He floods the school and constructs a time portal from water.
He uses telekinesis to rip the jet engine off the plane to send it through the time portal.
FrankAnyone connected to the Living Receiver who dies in the TU becomes Manipulated Dead. These people are very powerful and have the ability to move through time and talk to the Living Receiver through a Fourth Dimensional Construct. Frank is killed in the TU and therefore becomes one of the Manipulated Dead. He travels back in time and helps Donnie with his quest to return the Artifact. The first thing he must do is save Donnie by waking him up before he gets squashed by the jet engine. He is like a reverse ghost who appears before he was killed.
All the people connected to the Living Receiver are the Manipulated Living and these people will subconsciously help guide the Living receiver. They will behave in the exact perfect way necessary to push Donnie toward his eventual destiny. Nearly every event in the film has a specific purpose designed to aid Donnie to save the Universe. The driving force behind there behaviour is God; It�s actually a very religious film, the idea that you follow God�s channel to decide your own fate. God is moving all the characters around like pieces on a chessboard, making a sequence of events that will lead to Donnie�s success.
What all the Manipulated are trying to do is set an Ensurance Trap so Donnie has no choice but to send the Artifact back. Remember Donnie only meets and falls in love with Gretchen within the TU. This is part of the Trap, he is given someone to love then she dies the night they first have sex. He is so upset he shoots Frank. If he didn�t kill Frank then Frank can�t save him in the beginning. Now his girlfriend is dead and he is a killer on the run. Sending the engine back is the only way out for him even though it will end his own life.
TimestormAt the end of the film a timestorm starts to form as Donnie drives up the mountain. It�s the beginning of the TU collapse and is centred over where it began, Donnie�s house. Donnie constructs a time portal from water and guides the engine through it. The TU now collapses safely and the PU starts back up from when it stopped, October 2nd. The last 28 days never happened and Donnie wakes up in his bed laughing. The jet engine Donnie sent through the time portal then falls into his bedroom killing him.
Even though the last 28 days never actually happened some of the Manipulated will be haunted in there dreams by there experiences within the TU. Frank touching his eye at the end is evidence of this. Jim Cunningham clears out his child pornography dungeon and shoots himself 10 days later, more evidence that he had some knowledge of what happened in the TU.
