Q. I have a Eastern King soft sided waterbed. I have the 9 leg metal frame. I am looking to purchase a new bedroom set from Rooms 2 Go or some place like that. Can I purchase a bed with the wooden rails to attach to the metal frame. I know that the weight of the bed will not allow me to use the wooden rails from the new bed.
A. You can make the rails work.... you just need to make sure you have center support legs on the rails.... most good wood bed will come with slats and 1-3 center support legs.... You just need to add more so that you have about 9 center support legs....you can use wood or even bricks....
Master bedroom furniture is traditional dark brown (new), what color can I paint walls?
Q. Bedroom furniture consits of King size bed, two night stands and nine draw dresser. Considering to have 50" TV over dresser, sitting area and include small kitchenette.
A. Hi!
Brown is a neutral color, so basically, you can paint any color under the rainbow with it... it all depends on what you like. There are a few things to remember though, and I have a few suggestions... Hope this helps:
To have complete color harmony in any room, you need to have 3 colors: 1 dominant color (usually the walls), 1 medium color (usually the trim, molding, ceiling, furniture, etc.) and 1 accent color (usually decorative accents such as cushions, vases, throws, etc.). You can use the same color as your funiture as you do on an accent wall or all the walls... it depends on lots of things like your lighting, but we'll get to that later.
In decorating, black and white are not considered colors. White is the absence of all color. That's why you can match it with any color under the rainbow. Black is the mixture of all colors. That's why it too, can be mixed with any color under the rainbow. It's not necessary to have any white in a room, but it is very important that you have at least one black item: a vase, a picture frame, a throw rug, a cushion, a curtain rod, a lamp, etc.... you get the idea). The black will ground ALL of your colors together. So don't forget to add something black in your room.
What color of brown is your furniture: Black-brown (as in very dark espresso coffee), dark chocolate brown, etc. Since you didn't say, here are some color schemes that work with different types of brown furniture. The way to use them is for the 1st color = dominant 2nd color = medium and 3rd color = accent. Of course, you can use them in any other way you like, thought the ones listed here are best together in just this way. (after, you'll get some links to some nice color inspiration).
Chocolate brown & Terra-cotta & Taupe

This part would have been easier if you would have given us the style of furniture you have, but the pics should help for color inspiration... I hope you enjoy this, because I certainly enjoyed doing the research for this. I LOVE doing this !!!! :)

So... hope that was fun...
The best and most trusted way to find the color for any room, is to take an accessory or decorative item that will be going into that room: the duvet cover, the curtains, a painting, a rug, blinds, shutters, upholstered furniture, a lamp... you get the idea). Choose the item with passion. Make it something that you ABSOLUTELY LOVE, perhaps it was handed down by your great-grandmother or a cherished item you worked hard for. Or make it something that just SCREAMED out your name when you were shopping, so you knew you had to have it! Choose your color pattern from that item. And take it from there.
Keep in mind too, that color is an amazing thing! There's psychology behind color - it can make you have wonderful, relaxing dreams... or it can keep you from falling asleep, especially if you're already a wound-up 6 year old little boy! It can make you feel warm and comfortable, or hot and stifled. It can make you feel nice, fresh and cool - or it can make you feel like parts of you are going to freeze off. Color can be your friend or your enemy. And really, the earth can "shed some light" on us to help decide every color scheme. Here's how:
What direction does your room face - North, South, East or West? It makes a difference. If you've got the sun pounding down on your bedroom window, you'll want to stay away from warm colors, such as reds, yellows, oranges, etc. They'll make you feel too hot. Opt for cooler colors, such as blues, turquoise, cool creams... think mediterranean beach style here. In a room facing North, that doesn't get much light, you'll opt more for warmer colors and brighter colors: yellow, bright pinks, golden hues. Here's a most interesting link about how color affects us psychologicallly:

That's all I guess... Hope I helped you choose your color ;-)
You're always welcome to email and I'd enjoy knowing what color scheme you chose...!

What color bedroom set will go with a sandy/gold walls?
Q. Where can I purchase good quality but inexpensive furniture?
A. Not sure where you are located there is JYSK, Ikea, independently owned furniture stores for new furniture, Dent and scratch outlets if you are in a big city Sears, The Bay, The Brick all have dent and scratch outlets, Good quality furniture that might only need touching up with a stain pen. Oak, Ash or a light colored wood would look great or blue, yellow and a light brown.
Also checkout your local thrift stores, Value Village, and bargain finder ads and any freight damaged stores in your area.
You can also try Craig's list for your area, Freecycle, or kijiji in Canada

What are some basic things I need for each room of my apartment?
Q. I am moving into a new apartment and I don't have a lot of money to spend. What do you suggest I purchase for each room (Kitchen, Living Room, Bedroom and Bathroom) of my apartment?
Thanks.
Thanks.
A. I have had my own apartment, homes and helped my son stock his. B/c money is an object here you want to go for function and then decorative. Kitchen, you are going to need your basic pot(boil water, can of soup , rice etc so get a really good 2 quart pot, this way you have room to boil noodles for yourself, if you have the money a stock pot with lid is also good esp if cooking for company. Must have 2 good potholders that feel comfortable to you. one mitt, and one square. A microwave is nice for a single person for snacks and/ cooking so plastic wrap is good for that(SAFETY FIRST don't get steamed burned) At least one pkg of reusable storage packs for keeping left overs and produce etc. A simple set of silverware, one large spoon and one large slotted spoon, one spatula.A really good knife, if you just get one, get a good quality one that you can resharpen. A can opener. does not have to be electric, in fact after 30yrs of living "omo" I per fer a hand help opener. . A lot of these one can find at thrift stores,take home and clean well. so don't forget dawn liquid that will clean your dishes and your stove, microwave,and coutertops. Sponges, get them by the pack at a dollar store, oh BTW dollar stores are great places to shop when money is so very tight. Paper towels and a holder, one can spend a dollar up to 40 dollars. Don't forget your seasonings,bread,milk,eggs---a broom,mop and dustpan. A couple of plates,bowls and cups/glasses. I have found complete sets of plates etc for $10 at "dollar general" in the past. Also ck out garage sales,but make a list of what you really need. (a nice basic cookbook like better homes and gardens or bettycrocker would be nice, but you can get a bk at the library and then jot down recipes you would like to make. A kitchen timer and a clock.
Ok I think that is it for the kitchen, use towels( I per fer cloth but paper towels OK too) to dry dishes. Get in habit of washing dishes right away, drying and putting where they belong so everything looks nice and tidy.
Living room, is it a furnished apartment? That is a big question! If it is furnished then all you need is a basket or box to hold remote if you have tv and some inexpensive colorful pillows to add color and I always like a blanket of some sort to throw over me while I watch TV. Don't forget lighting. If unfurnished, start out with a love seat , so a friend can be there with you, an ottoman( or box, a storage box to hold blanket and mags would be great here for dual purpose) an inexpensive TV ,radio and one or 2 houseplants (live or Fax your choice) . Again try your thrift stores and yard sales first.
Bedroom, again if furnished , just the linens and a mattress cover. If not furnished, bed or blow up mattress on a platform made of plywood or pressed board(try free cycle too for all items) and blocks, paint or stain and place mattress of your choice. A side table, I made my first out of cement blocks and bricks and a piece of cardboard , to hold a lamp, a "wake up" clock. Linens to fit bed.
Bathroom-toiletries, maybe a tray to set on counter top with toiletries or a yard sale table or stand for storage , towels , hand towels and wash-clothes. I found some just the other day at a grocery store of all places, soft and very very inexpensive like 3.00 for a bath sheet. shower curtain?, (can use vinegar and water as cleaner) oh yeah , believe me something to set your soap upon, it can be a saucer from that really great set of dishes you are gonna get on the cheap.
Other than really personal items I can't think of anything else. A knife can crush garlic for you, a fork can juice citrus fruit. As things go better and /or freecycle think about a food processor and/or blender. If you bake, your baking pans. You can make your own art pieces by recycling and reuse things you have, just use imagination. Be sure to get one thing you really really want that speaks "you" to you to make your apartment a home. Snapshots held to wall with painterstape until you can get frames etc.
Enjoy your new home. I am sure I have forgotten something-trashcans everywhere you can, get them at dollar store and just give them a wash out;
Again, blessings on you and your new home. I am excited for you.
