basement bedroom ideas?

bedroom set denver image

Kayla L

My family is moving into a new house and I am going to be living in the basement. Most of the basement is finished and thats where my siblings' playroom will be. On the other side is an unfinished part behind a door. My dad is building me a room in half of the unfinished part. The other half will be a storage room. I also need a closet with actual doors, not just shelves hung up on the wall. I need ideas on how to do this cleverly. THANKS xx

Answer
Ikea has great standing wardrobe options so definitely check there. An example: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S39897648/

If you ever watch the disney channel show "good luck charlie" the main character's room is actually very similar to your situation. Her room is in the basement, with the playroom on the other side and is separated by rolling barn doors. Check out that tv show for some ideas maybe.

What's it like to live in San Antonio?

Big Bear

I'm thinnking of moving there. I would like to know all over temps in a year, tornados, rain, etc.. Also, fees for renting a 2 or 3 bedroom house. Crime rates, traffic, employment?
Thanks for all of your help !

Answer
San Antonio is a very affordable city. The rents are considerably cheaper than major cities anywhere else in the US. You asked about renting, though in San Antonio, renting is really very similar in cost for a 3 bedroom house to buying. The housing cost in the Texas area are quite reasonable, but the property taxes are higher than many states. This is, however, offset by Texas having no personal income tax.

San Antonio is one of America's fastest growing cities. The city was the 11th largest in the US in 1995, 9th largest in 2000 and was 7th largest in 2006 now having grown larger than Dallas as the second largest city in Texas. This rapid growth does have some affect on both traffic and crime. Certain areas of the city have traffic issues at high traffic periods, though this is common in any major city, and certainly no worse in San Antonio. The crime rate for the overall city is higher than the Texas and National average, but that is also common in any major city. However, there are many areas of the city where the crime rates are at or below the state and national average. Additionally, in some areas, if a careful examination of the crime statistics by the San Antonio Police Department is made, you will find the crime is mostly limited to shopliftting and crimes against business and property, in those areas personal crime (ie. rape or murder) is minimal.

Good sources of information about an area of town are:
www.homefair.com or www.city-data.com and look at the city reports by the zipcode you are considering living in. Homefair will break down the types of crime into personal/property and further break it down if you examine closely.

As far as weather, if you don't like the weather in San Antonio, wait a few minutes...

Actually, in general, the weather in the area is usually very temperate. The average low in January is 39, the high usually being in the 60s, the average high in July is 94-95 with lows in the 70s. The Spring and Fall months are usually days in the 80s and nights in the 60s. This is why we have Sea World, and other tourism sites in the metropolitan area. There have been very few tornados in the city in the history of San Antonio, due to it's geographical setting. The city is far enough from the coast to avoid the worst effects of hurricanes but you can be on the beach in 2 1/2 hours. The rainfall amounts vary significantly by year and season. Last spring and this past summer was an exceedin ly wet year, and a few years ago we had water rationing. When we do get rain, however, it will frequently cause, flooding of the low areas. This does not normally affect any housing in the city, but is more significantly an affect on driving, as many roads run through low water crossings. If you do decide to move to the area (which I highly encourage you to do) never drive through water standing or running across a road (many lives have been lost in this area that way). Some people will complain that the area is hot. It is significantly cooler than most of the southern US, and only an average of 7 degrees hotter in the summer than Denver. Most of this past summer we were cooler everyday than New York.

As far as entertainment, there are numerous plays and concerts touring and local in the city. There are many clubs and just north of the city in the Hill Country you will find some intersting Dance Halls where many country-western music greats got their starts (like Willie Nelson and George Strait)
The city has a multitude of great restaurants, and world class shopping available. In the hill country you will find lakes and rivers which provide availability for boating, skiing, rafting, canoeing, and tubing. Also the area is home to one of the US' finest wine regions.

The best part about San Antonio, in many peoples opinion, is that while growing into a major city, it has retained a lot of small town charm, and has a unique identity. The special fiesta flavor provided by the Tex-Mex blend of the cty makes the area a special place to live or visit. As the city is growing rapidly, there are a lot of employment opportunities in several segments. The South Texas Medical Center, USAA, the San Antonio Military Complex, the tourism industries, many tech and banking companies, significant real estate development and construction, and Toyota are all major employers.

Hope you decide to move to SATX.

(I will at this point make the obligatory comment about the 4 time NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs, which most of us in San Antonio love, are another reason to move to the city. This is comment is made inorder to comply with all SA responses to why should I move to SA questions).

Welcome to San Antonio!!

best cheap safe country to live in?

Boo

I'm expecting my first child this fall. Can anyone recommend a nice country where I can find work and live in that's outside of the US & other than Canda? I'm looking for:

1) English speaking country-
I'm Asian & hoping for a place that isn't hostile to foreigners

2) Safe for women

3) VERY cheap apartments & childcare-
In America, a 1 bedroom averages about $600 including bills. And then there's childcare, which costs just as much. That alone is already way too much for a single mother who is completely on her own. I'm looking for a country where those expenses would be about half of that.

4.) Somewhere tourist-y
So I can find employment easily, work my butt off to save money & come back to the US one day and raise my child decently.

Some people have suggested Tunisia, Thailand, Phillipines, Malaysia. Opinions? Other reccomendations?

Answer
TUNISIA

I am an American living in Tunisia and I love Tunisia very much!

Situated on the Mediterranean Sea, it is the northernmost African country, and the smallest of the nations situated along the Atlas mountain range, bordering Algeria, to the west, and Libya to the south east.

The country is so full of history (has been under the rule of Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Berbers, Ottomans, Beys, and French; played a significant part in WWII, was the center of the ancient world with Carthage as the capitol, etc) and it has so many beautiful places to visit! It is unlike any other Arab country in that is has a lot of greenery. There are also many historical ruins in just about every part of the country you go to.

The mountain region is breathtaking! There are fantastic views and an the atmosphere is reminiscent of an old town in Switzerland. Absolutely gorgeous! The coast is marvelous. The Sea is clear and picturesque. The midland and south are terrific because they offer you the chance to peek into a forgotten society - one that holds fast to tradition. I have been all over Tunisia and have visited most cities and have loved everyone because they each have their own special charm.

The people are so warm and hospitable. They instantly welcome you as one of their own and treat you like family. Tunisia is also a very safe place. There are not many places in this world where a women can walk the streets alone in the middle of the night without fear. Yet I often take late night walks and have never had any problems and have never felt fearful. Tunisia on a whole is a very safe country. I have lived in Tunis and Monastir and have visited other parts of the country without any problems.

$1 is equal to 1.314 TDN
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency?u

Things are pretty reasonably priced here in Tunisia. Let me give you some examples.

A 1.5L bottle of mineral water costs .400TDN ($.30), but most people buy them is cartons of 6. Just a way to not have to go to the store all the time to buy water. A 1L bottle of coke is 1TDN ($.76), while a 1.5L bottle is 1.500TDN ($1.14).

Taxi rides are pretty cheap, but if you want to save on that you can always walk. A taxi ride is usually around 3TDN ($2.28) depending on how far you are going and what city you will be in.

Food prices will depend on what type of restaurant you want to go to. A fast food place will cost you about 3TDN ($2.28) per person if you buy a coke along with your sandwich. An actual restaurant will run you anywhere between 20-30TDN total($15.22-$22.83) for 4 people, including drinks, and many times dessert as well.

Housing is cheap too, depending on what city, where in the city, and how big a place you are looking for. Rents run anywhere between 150TDN-500TDN ($114.14-$382.73). Water and Electricity bills come every 3 months, and those depend on how much you use. I'll use ours as a reference. Our last water bill was 8 TDN ($6.13) and our last electricity bill was 35TDN ($26.81).

Child care depends on where you take them, but can run anwhere from 25-50TDN a month ($19.15-$38.30)

Tunisia is definitely geared towards tourism. I suggest you check out the Tunisia section under travel http://answers.yahoo.com/dir/index;_ylt=Ajvu_tkLcfQ.OLPZ1SISVG7sy6IX?sid=396545482

Here's links to photo albums I have on Tunisia. Feel free to look at any others I have if you want.

Feel free to look at any of my other photos of Tunisia as well:

I also wrote an introductory blog about Tunisia on my 360 page. If you're interested in looking at it:
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-5ksVjU47eqs_12qDwPwirmLXqHA-?cq=1&p=764

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-5ksVjU47eqs_12qDwPwirmLXqHA-?cq=1&p=1787

If you have any other questions, or if I can be of more assistance, feel free to contact me. I can give you other websites concerning Tunisia, as the Tunisia tourism website is now badly out of date.

Can I paint my bedroom set & if so how?

bedroom set includes image

Char

My husband & I recently bought a bedroom set off of Ebay. And while it isn't exactly our style we've decided to make due with it. I would however like to darken in up a bit using paint. The set includes a headboard, long dresser, two mirrors and tall chest/armoire. The problem is that the set is made of half wood and half plastic. Odd! I know. The plastic decorative parts cannot be removed. Can I paint this set? Prime and spray paint it perhaps? And if so, what kind of paint do I use? Thanks in advance.

Answer
My hubby and I have painted veneer furniture to make it look for modern contemporary. Here is how we do it. First lightly sand. Then spray with that spray primer that looks terra cotta colored. After that is dry spray with flat black paint. Start at the edges making them dark and work your way toward the middle so that a little bit of the primer shows through. Let dry a little bit and then spray with a polyurathane varnish either in matt or gloss. While the poly is still wet lightly, very lightly brush with the grain back and forth to make it look a little like wood grain. It will be dark but a little lighter toward the middle parts of each peace. Go to some furniture stores and look at some of the dark wood peices to see what I mean.

Also I did this to a dresser that we use in our office. It is a piece from the '70s an very contemporary in style. It was already a medium colored wood but I applied a darker stain with a rag and let dry. Took a while though. After that I took another lighter stain and a rounded brush and dabbed the stain on. I would kinda swish the brush to give it a mottled /burled look. We have gotten a lot of complements on how pretty it is. Experiement, you never know what you will come up with

How fast and effective is a home internet router?

Fragile St

My bedroom has NO phone jack (I think that's the word) and I want to have internet access on my pc in my room. My mother's room is the closest one and she recommended getting a router, I would like to know how fast my connection would be and anything else I need to know about a router because I am a novice concerniong them.

Answer
Hello -

The router is only as fast as your Internet connection. Setting up a wireless network (using a router) requires a broadband (high-speed) Internet connection, whether its DSL, or Cable, or even Satellite connections. If you only have a dial-up connection, then a wireless router wouldn't work.

Setting up routers are relatively easy. They come with installation CDs that will step you through everything you need to do.

One word of caution. Should you elect to create a wireless network using a wireless router, then be certain when you're going through the installation process that when it asks whether it should enable security, you choose "yes".

If you don't, then what can happen is that you'll provide free Internet access to typically everyone within a 1500 ft radius of where the router is sitting, depending upon line-of-sight. People could use your network, browse your files, hack into a website and make it look like you did it.

I don't say this to scare you off, only to be sure to turn on your security so that only people with the proper network key can access your network. I have set up hundreds of these networks, and all work great! I have a wireless network at my house, too.

So, when installing the router, get out a piece of paper and pencil and take notes as the computer asks for information. It'll ask for:
1. SSID (network name)
2. Type of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.)
3. Encryption strength (64bit WEP, 128bit WEP, etc.)
4. Network passphrase (key is generated off of this)
5. What the actual network key is.
6. Advisable to change your admin password as well.

Good luck! Hope this helps!

Where can I get a furniture package?

How do I sand my Ethan Allen furniture to a natural finish?

bedroom set natural wood image

Mnb T

I have a nice Ethan Allen bedroom set from the 1970s that it is in excellent condition (structurally), but the finish on the furniture is scuffed up, dull, and just way too dark for my taste. What is the easiest process for sanding this down to a natural finish?

Answer
I use Strypeeze to remove majority of finish. It removes every kind of finish I ever used it own. Then I sand the small spots it didn't quite get. Most manufactured furniture uses very thin veneer wood on top of secondary wood so a sanding mistake can severely damage a piece of furniture. I use a random orbit sander and fine grain paper. Takes most of the work out of it too.

Removing White Wash from furniture?

tia r

My daughter has a white wash bedroom set. She has gotten older and has her own style and hates the color. What is the best way to get that white wash off and get it's natural wood tones back?

Answer
You have to use a paint stripper is the only way....That is if your wanting to keep the wood grain visible....it can be sanded lightly, primed with an oil based primer(kilz original) etc..then recoated with a latex...If she wants the grain to show..it must be stripped....There are many new strippers that do not burn the skin and such in all diy stores...but this job is work extensive..and takes alot of tlc to complete..and should not be done inside around carpets, tiles etc...

How can I find a checklist for setting up a household for the first time?

bedroom set new york image

Lorraine K

My son is about to set up his first apartment. He is stationed in Japan. I want to find a list of essentials for each room. Very basic, but I want to help him as much as possible. I live in New York City.

Answer
My Husband was stationed in Japan a few years back. He said that there you have just the basic essentials - it's a much more simple culture than our own.

I would say the following:

Kitchen: George Foreman & Pasta Pot & Frying Pan & Toaster (You can do ANYTHING with these 4 items!)

Living Room: Futon (doubles as a bed!), TV, Comfy Chair, Coffee Table (He's a man ... he needs somewhere to set his soda's and he's probably NOT going to eat at a kitchen table anyway)

Bedroom: Bed (if no futon in LR) or Desk w/ Computer

(If he has a futon in the LR - the tv's in there so he'd probably sleep out there anyway - the bedroom makes a great Computer Room)

NOTE: You probably want to get that man an ironing board and a decent iron - he'll need to keep his uniforms in working condition - I was in the Navy and my husband in the Marines you CANNOT live without an iron! Plus you can set it up in the room w/ the Computer!

Bathroom: Shampoo, Razor's, Shaving Cream/Gel, Toothbrush & Paste

:) Good Luck! :)

and its called Hartwick Cape Chalet

how much do you think a modular home like that would cost?

Answer
It really depends, but costs vary from $115 -$140 depending on the materials used etc.

Let's say it's $140 sqft ...just to stay on high side x 1800 = $252,000 .

how do i use blue and chocolate colors together?

bedroom set queen white image

mahveensmu

i have just painted bedroom wall a light blue color(topaz color)...so i want to for chocalate ...i thought if i colour a bold thick choclate colored stripe behind the bed wall......is it a good idea? and the curtains ..which color should i go for ?. what about the lamp shades?/..pls give me some suggestions ..or picturues of web sites?

Answer
Here are some things you might like. Don't know how old you are so I hope these suit you. Buy your bedding first and don't paint the stripe until you've gotten everything else for the room...you may or may not need it then. Don't be afraid to mix up patterns...a stripe on the curtains and some floral pillows, as long as the colors work together. Adding some white or cream would look good too.

My family room carpet is filthy. I wanna get it professionally steamcleaned, will it help at all ?

bedroom set under 300 image

Healy2006

When I mean filthy it is very dirty. I'm just wondering can a rug be so dirty that a professional steamclean won't help at all ? If it helps even just a little, I will get it done.

Answer
I just had my rugs professionally done today and it made a really huge difference. ! The carpet smells clean and fresh and all the stains came out.. .I'm getting a few cans of scothguard tomorrow and spraying the high traffic areas so they don't stain so badly ! I had 2 bedrooms/ 1 set of stairs and a hallway a livingroom/diningroom combo done and it cost under $160 it would've been an additional $40 to have stainguard and some other "treatment" done.. Stanley Steamer's quote was roughly $400 + gas... A local "green" family outfit was around $250-$300... So, I think we did all right.. Call around and get some estimates... It really does help.. I've rented a steamer and it's ok but, not as good... Good luck

How much would it cost to live in Mexico city for a month?

iop

- I know theres a swine flu there. This question is in regard for about a year from now,

Answer
Mexico City is a great place to visit for a month!

It would be nice to have some more details about what you are looking to do in Mexico City.

Anyways, you can rent a decent (not a first rate hotel, but clean and safe) hotel room in downtown Mexico City for about $700 pesos per week, but that's with a shared bath. It also includes free internet in the lobby and a safe for your things. You can get a room w/bath for about $1,000 pesos per week. It really depends on what you want. There are many hotels in the Centro Historico (Downtown) which is close to many sights and things to see and do.

Yes, there's human flu in Mexico. It's also in the US and now it's in many other countries.

As for the cost of daily living: A ride on the Metro subway system costs $2.00 pesos (less than $0.20 US cents), a short taxi ride costs about $20 pesos, a bus costs about 3-4 pesos in the DF.

A tour of the city by Turibus costs about $150 pesos for all day.

Food: A tamale and a cup of atole (a steaming hot rice drink, often Chocolate or strawberry flavored) costs about 15 pesos. There's your breakfast. Lunch at a small-medium family run restaurant, the set menu comida corrida which usually includes soup, rice, beans, a main dish (enchiladas, beef or chicken steak, fish etc), a dessert, tortillas and a drink of agua fresca (flavored water, like juice) should cost between $40-50 pesos. Dinner: six tacos and a coke= $38 pesos (5 pesos per taco, 8 pesos for the coke. So your total for one day of food= $93 pesos mas o menos (more or less) and that's way under $10 USD at the current exchange rate of about $13.2 pesos to $1 USD.

What color walls for my bedroom with black furniture and chocolate brown bedding?

bedroom set black image

Q. We just got a new bedroom set and bedding but don't know what color to paint the walls. The furniture is a distressed black and the bedding is chocolate brown and cream. floor is neutral carpet. any suggestions? We had always thought we were going to paint the room a warm, dark color but with all of the dark furniture, I think it may be too much.

Answer
Go for a neutral tone to match bedding and floor,then have a dark feature on the wall/s.
A wall /or strip of dark paper , a large stencil , or a few large canvasses.
I have a similar theme in my bedroom and I did a strip of flocked black wallpaper behind my bed,with a strip of chocolate brown either side of it,lovely!

Why is the High Desert (in Southern California) so run-down and depressing?

bedroom set sacramento image

Q. Seriously, there could not be a uglier and gloomier place to live in. Most of the roads aren't paved. The one or two malls we have our probably our biggest money-makers. Everyone looks like they're still stuck in either the 1980's or like they just walked off the set for a western. The infrastructure is falling apart. The schools are awful. The list of problems goes on.

It's depressing though because I see such potential for the area if the city officials would just apply money towards the right projects instead of opening up new night-clubs and bars on every street corner. Why causes towns to become like this?

Answer
If you're talking about the Victor Valley specifically, remember that the Victor Valley was always little more than a bedroom community except for a few mining jobs and military-related jobs till George AFB closed down.

Even the addition of a prison or two, a Wal-Mart distribution center, and whatever else won't do much to generate a lot of income or tax-related income in the area. And the creation of jobs in the services sector are meaningless if people spend half their income on gasoline to commute down the hill and end up with hardly any remaining discretionary income.

So if the bottom falls out of California in general as businesses up and relocate to other states, people also flee to other states, and California's and the U.S.' economies go from bad to worse, then of course the Victor Valley is going to get hit worse than various other parts of the state. The area has no "potential" unless lots of things happen: more factories or corporate HQs are placed there, CA gov't becomes more buisness friendly, Sacramento begins to use its money wisely, etc.

To move out or not to move out?

Q. I currently live with my boyfriend of 3years and 10 months... I was looking for a place to live and he offered me to move in with his mom, so I don't have to pay rent. This happened after a year of dating. He lived in Sacramento... After 5 months he came back without notice and began living together. Now that he was back and after a few months, I wanted us to move out. I finally found a place...(it was his mom, his somewhat disable brother of 28 years old, my 5 year old daughter and us living in this 3 bedroom home, where my daughter sleeps in our room.) This is a different story regarding his family, but somehow it has something to do with me wanting to move out… He loves me and I love him, but I don't want to live with him anymore. I'm just afraid I will leave someone who is the one. I don't want to break up. I just don't want to live with him. I'm at the point where I have nothing else to give him and he has just begun to do anything for me and has talked about marriage. He wants to do anything for me at any cost, I feel smothered, I am way past that stage. I'm thinking about my future and my daughters, and not so much him anymore. I've tried talking to him about our goals we should set and just a week or two ago he wants to grow a relationship with my daughter, wants us to save, wants me to help him save, wants to share all his feelings and how much money he brings in and what he owes. Basically, he wants me in his life and wants to share it with me. It was an eye opener because he knows every single little thing about me and after so long he now wants to let me in his world. (in his mind, my money, my child, my life and everything around me is His. His kids, his money, his life and everything around him are his and Not mine.)....
What it really comes down to, I can't make up my mind if I should move on without him? Or Stay, everything is changing and it’s on my favor what happens next? ...
All I wanted was to start a family, just us 3. But now he just wants to begin a relationship with my daughter.... I have my mind confused. Is it really worth losing someone you love over something that can gradually change?
It's hard to tell him I love him. I'm disappointed, I can't believe I wasn't looking out for my child and myself and just concerned about my boyfriend....
I use to live with my boyfriends mother. I found a place for only us, She tagged along. This is my house, My name is on the lease, I have money saved. She just moved out a week ago. But the brother doesn't want to leave. But he isn't staying at my house. He is out in the street. They want to blame me for it.

Answer
Just move.

Cary, NC- any affordable housing in the area?

bedroom set raleigh nc image

Preg with

I have been applying for teaching positions in the Wake County School district. This district includes Raleigh and Cary, NC. Does anyone know if there is any affordable housing in this area? I would be looking for more of a suburban setting. I wouldn't want to be more than 35 or 40 minutes from the school district. We would obviously rent an apartment at first, but would eventually be looking to buy. I just want to make sure we can actually afford a house in the area someday. What is the average price of a house? Do any houses in decent condition with 3 or more bedrooms sell for less than $125,000?

Answer
You'll have a hard time finding something in Cary at that size for that price.

Wake County is pretty big...do you know which school you'll be at yet? If you get a job at a school in Rolesville, then you would not want to live in Apex, for example. That would be almost an hour drive. I'd find out as soon as possible exactly which school you're teaching at.

That said, in the meantime you could aim for a central location within Wake County. South Raleigh and Garner are much more affordable than Cary.

Help! Is this toxic black mold????

ebony0225

I just moved into my apartment 3 days ago, and when I turned off the air conditioner, I heard a splat noise-as if water was leaking. I made a mental note and went into the guest bedroom to set up the bed. Then I noticed something black protruding through the carpet. It was black mold!
When I opened the furnace closet, and peeked behind, there was mold EVERYWHERE!

There are pictures that I took at this link:

http://prostylemakeup.tripod.com/blackmold/

What would be your first choice of action if you were in this situation. I already notified the leasing office. Mold is serious, and really I just want a new Apartment. Any pointers.....legal advise etc?

Answer
not necessarily.we had it in an apartment once,looked similar.turned out not to be the extremely bad kind,but its still bad for sinuses/respiratory tract.if the apartment owners dont get help in say,a week-call.O.S.H.A.(look up local office online.)or call local branch of the u.s health dept.we did that,and the next day,men in "biohazard" suits came and tested the mold.we were given another apart to live in while testing/removal was completed.even tho the mold wasnt the absolute worst variety,o.s.h.a made the apart manager clean it up b4 we returned,also,all their apts were then inspected and cleaned.the governors mansion(raleigh,nc) had the toxic kind 2 years ago,the gov. and his family had to vacate.

I'm moving into a bachelor suite and would like some suggestions for decor?

bedroom set vanity image

Mand H

there's a slight nook for my bedroom furniture set (vanity/headboard/bed), am considering finding a floor flutter screen for some privacy/separation. Already have a huge 3-seater futon, but need to purchase all other furniture. Any space-saving suggestions or pieces I should look for that could function for everyday and entertaining (i don't do huge gatherings, but usually several friends). hope this makes sense, and any suggestions would be appreciated!

Answer
a folding table big enough to entertain but small enough to be out of the way when folded away.

a "cupboard" for your tv/music with doors that can shut it away when you want to hide it!

Under bed drawers for extra hidden storage.

Go for light colours to create a more spacious feel.

How to write up a contract with a friend who agreed to pay me later for furniture?

bedroom sets for 700 image

Mike R

So about 5 months ago I moved out of my apartment. Another person (mutual friend) moved into my bedroom and we had the lease realigned so that my name is no longer associated with the apartment legally. I left a bedroom set there and agreed on a price of $700 (nothing written) to which he would pay at a later date since money was tight for him. It's now been 5 months and I have tried reaching him multiple times and more often than not get ignored. I am not afraid to bring this to the court, but before I do that I would like to write up a contract and give him the option to take this legally binding agreement. If he resists signing the contract, then I know to go to the courts. The contract is more for myself as evidence that he agreed to pay for the furniture in the first place. Is there a template out there somewhere I can use to create a contract and then run it by some family friends who are lawyers? I would rather not bring this issue to the lawyers in my family since this is an embarrassing situation. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks!

Answer
You should have done the written agreement at the time you left. I think you have made a gift of the furniture (or abandonment).

How should i decorate my soon-to-be new room?

bedroom set amazon image

Xxvanillas

Im 14 turning 15 in about 3 weeks and i am getting a new bedroom set for my birthday which brand is lily opus( you can look it up) and i was wondering what things should i get that are COLORFUL and cool that i would like. Ex: posters, speakers for ipod 4th G, earring holder and anything else i could decorate my room with

Answer
Pick a colour (for example, my room is blue and green with blue-green walls) you would pick the colour. Then, you can add a bed, dresser, and any furniture. Pick a colour for ALL furniture (for example, white). All your furniture AND floors should be the colour you chose (for example, white).

Now pick a setting, for example:

Stripy
Polk-a-dot (check out this site: http://teensthemes.com/polka-dots/circles-dots-polka-dots-decorating-ideas.html )
An animal pattern
And anything else

And make your walls with different stickers (can get them in Walmart, Target, any place like that.) and add everything to add to your walls. Now, if you have a window, add curtains.

JUST TO TELL YOU: If you choose an animal print for your room, don't make everything in your room animal print: way too busy!! If you want an animal print, add maybe the bedcovers, your rug and any little things wih it BUT make your walls less busy with stickers and stuff. Or you could just make it plain.

Next, add your rug. There are really cool little circle rugs you can get. If you get 3-5, you can place them all over your room. But, with a MAIN rug in the middle. Use bright colours for your rugs and curtains.

TIP 4 PAINTING: Paint your ceilling WHITE. If you paint it the colourof the walls, the room looks smaller. Also, the colour white does NOT make a room look bigger...One more thing, a focal point looks REALLY COOL!!! (If you don't know, a focal point is one wall that is a different colour than the rest: White or any other colour that stands out is COOL!!!!

Now it is time to add DECORATIONS!!!

In Dollarama, you can get really AWESOME paper lanterns which come in pink, yellow, blue and green. Now add them to a clear string and put it on ONE wall of your room where it is less busy.

In Claire's, you can get awesome earring holders, and also just normal jewelery holders. There are so many things in Claire's that you can get!!!

Also, a great thing to have in your room is a bean bag OR a small couch. They are comfy and so GREAT!!!

Add some hangers in your room for coats, hats and stuff. You can buy really cool one in ANY store.

If you have a closet and you want to add a curtain/closet doors, add bright curtains, they are COOL! BUT: If you have curtains on your window, it looks cool, but a little copying, kind of. If you want curtains on your closet, then add blinds for your windows: white ones are good. Also, if you want to add closet doors, you can get mirror ones. They are AWESOME!!!!

Add posters of favorite singers and other stuff: actresses, movies, singers, animals, etc.

Here's an idea: If you take an old poster that you don't want and flip it around, you can tape and add pictures, souvenirs, anything you want!!! It's awesome!!!

For speakers for your Ipod 4, check this out : http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/ipod_accessories/speakers

That website says that there is Ipod Touch speakers. Also, search on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.in/sch/iPod-Speakers-/73834/i.html

There is something else....If you want, there are cool paper circle things that you can hang...pretty awesome!!

And another GREAT website that gives you THE 3 BEST DECORATING STORES:

http://www.collegefashion.net/dorm-room/the-3-best-places-to-shop-for-cheap-chic-dorm-decor/

And if your walls are blue or green, check this out:

It's a web page for a green and blue round rug...

Also, throw pillows for your bed are THE COOLEST THING EVER!!!

For other decorations, do some online research!! I found some GREAT decorations online!!!

Hope that helps!!

How high should I price my Bedroom set?

storage bedroom set queen image

s

I have a bedroom set that I'm looking to sell, I want to get as much out of it as possible, but don't want to over price it. Included is a fairly large night stand, with 2 drawers, a long dresser with 7 drawers, and a bed frame that could either be queen or full.. but I would include my queen mattress and box frame. All is in good condition, the only thing that's wrong with it is there's a small ring on the night stand. I'm pretty sure it is the Thomasville brand, I know it is a name brand, but it's in storage and I cannot remember which it is.

Answer
go to craigslist and look at what other people are selling there stuff for and look at the pictures too - it should give you an idea of what to sell yours for and then you can post and sell yours on craigs list for free

love that site !!!

ne1 have info re swap, trade, bartering. Moving into senior housing, have stuff to trade for stuff needed?

jeanne524

need vacuum, microwave oven, double or queen mattress & bedding in good condition. Furniture refinishing services.

Answer
Have you ever tried the online service called freecycle? You list what you have for pickup and then you list what you need and look at the other listings to see if others have also listed those same items.

No one pays on either end of the deal. It works great if they have it in your town or a nearby larger town.

Good luck!! : )

How much should I tip the furniture delivery guys?

bedroom set queen image

jambo92

I am having a complete bedroom set delivered - Queen bed, including mattress and boxspring, two bedside tables and a dresser. They will also be setting up the furniture in the room.

The room is down 3 flights of stairs.

I don't know how many guys they will be sending out to deliver the furniture - but how much should I tip them after they are done?

Answer
It seems like they have quite a bit to do. I would say at least $20-$25. Hauling furniture down three flights of stairs is a lot and it's cool that you are acknowledging their hard work.

For how much should I sell my queen bedroom set?

How much should I sell my queen bedroom set?

The set is less than 2 years old and we bought it for $1400. The bed comes with headboard, footboard and rails. A matching dresser(6 drawer), mirror, and chest(5 drawer). A few tiny scratches that can be fixed with paint.
We need to sell cause we're moving out of state soon and we need the money.

So, what do you think?

Answer
I'd say $700...half of what you paid.

I need to identify a type of furniture wood - part 2?

bedroom set $200 image

jennie.fly

Thanks so much for all the great responses to my original question! (I need to identify a type of furniture wood - It's light wood with dark 'circles' throughout it?)

The summary of responses is that it's either knotty pine, birds-eye maple, or pecan. I took a picture of it, here is a link to it, let me know if anyone has a better idea after viewing!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v422/jennieflynn/IMG_3099.jpg

If it helps, my husband purchased the 4-piece bedroom set (2 nightstands, a 9-drawer dresser, and a large mirror, framed in the same wood, that sits on the dresser) for 1K, about 7 years ago. A side question would be figuring out how much to sell it for...I recently noticed that in a certain light, there appears to be scratch marks on top of the dresser! (Maybe ask for $200 for all of it??)

Anyhow, thanks so much for all the help!

Answer
you can all ways take the picture with you to the furniture store and try to match it. as far as scratches on your other item, buy you some furniture marker pens that cover up the scratches or even buy shoe paste that matches the furniture and wipe it on and then wipe off. unless you just want to buy more furniture.

How much does a baby initially cost?

mr.t'smom

Like, to start off buying all the supplies...crib, changing table, dresser, diapers, clothes, bath stuff, first aid, maternity clothes, decorate the babies room..etc.

we dont need insurance money..my husband is military.
im thinking around 4,000? the bedroom set i found was 1200...
Yeah, I like Walmart ones too. I also want one of the changing tables that have the bookshelf thing..they look like a china cabinet sort of thing? Do you know what Im talking about?

Answer
Around $1500-and I have nice stuff. A bedroom set for 1200? The crib I have is from Walmart and was $150 and is really nice. Its all on what you really want I guess. A lot of things aren't necessary.


EDIT:

I just wanted to add a few things:
My little girl doesn't have a dresser as she has a closet in her bedroom for storage and to hang up clothes.
The only furniture we have is a Crib, as a bassinet and changing table also were unnecessary.
We don't have a monitor, as I won't ever be far away from my daughter.
Diaper pails are a total waste of money-do diapers really need their own garbage? No.
We don't have a swing or a bouncer-cute, but not necessary. We do have a high chair that was $90 from Target that was a gift that she can sit in if she needs to.
The travel system I bought was from babiesrus.com and it was $200 and VERY good quality.
The only crib bedding we have is a waterproof mattress pad and a couple sheets, as they don't suggest anything in the crib anymore due to SIDS risk, so that is a big money saver.

Also-Thrift stores/consignment shops are nice for clothing, but don't buy used furniture or anything else there unless you absolutely know its safe.

We received a playpen as a gift and they are nice to have-the one I received was about $70.

I also signed up for coupons at baby product websites-they really help.

Need some tipcs on new cat?

zoe bedroom set image

Dergyll

Hello guys,

Due to a most positive suggestion, I just returned home bearing my new cat! Her name is Zoe and she's gray (I don't know alot about cats...)

http://www.cthumane.org/site/PageServer?pagename=adopt_NewingtonPets

Scroll to the bottom of the page, she's the last one.

So now I'm curious about things, here are some questions:
How long should we keep her isolated in one room? (thats what the councelor said to do)

What do cats do to show that they're hungry/sleepy/sick/need to pee?

Anybody recommend a Vet in the Hartford area of CT?

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
Derg
Sorry, but the picture and discription of her was removed a few hours ago.

Answer
Kudos to you for giving Zoe a home and choosing an adult shelter cat.

How long she stays in one room will depend on her personality and your living situation (how many people in the home, children, other cats or dogs, etc.).

And cats are always very upset when moved from one location to another - even moving to a new house or apartment with an owner they know is stressful for them.

So the key to this is to let her have a small space to chill out. You need to set up a space with a litterbox, a tray with her water and food. If that space is a laundry room or a bathroom some sort of soft bedding should be provided. If it's a bedroom she may seem to hide under a bed for a day or several. You just go in and "refresh" the stuff on the tray and scoop out the litterbox, always talking softly to her as you do it. If you can have the time to sit in the room, reading, listening to music or whatever she may come out to investigate. If she was affectionate and cuddly at the shelter she probably won't be right away in her new place.

She will let you know when she feels ready to take on other parts of the house. If she is excessively shy and hiding I would suggest you pick up a bottle of Rescue Remedy from a health food store or pharmacy. You just shake the bottle well and put three or four drops on the fur between her ears. If you can't reach her easily put the drops on a small cloth and put it under the bed. Use the drops LAVISHLY. They will help her achieve a good emotional blance and prepare her for moving on in her new home.

Good luck with her. Let me know how it goes.

Answer
You could do a collage or a painting of something like a city view. If you're ever seen the 'view' out the window of the 'Seattle apartment' on 'Frasier,' it was all done with set design; I've read that there WAS no such view in Seattle. But it looks real, doesn't it?? All you'd need would be a rectangular stretched canvas. Tall buildings would be super easy to paint; just tall rectangles with bright rectangles or squares for windows. Have fun!
