What is the average gass bill for a two bedroom?

bedroom set $200 image

kristin

I'm in Calgary in Canada it get's pretty cold here. I just got a 2 bedroom in a 4 plex I am responsible for my own heat and the people's heat that live on the top floor of my side of the 4 plex they are responsible for my water and electricity. I'm looking for worst case senario of how much I will have to pay? I'm asking this in this section cause no one will answer in anyother section. Thanks.

Answer
It is hard to say. Depends on how warm would you like your place be and also how good your apartment is insulated.

But I will tell you how much ours is:

We (my boyfriends and I) live in a basement suite, but have to pay the gas for the whole house, as the family living on the main floor pay for the water and electricity.

There is only one furnace for the whole place and the family upstairs turn it reallly high up!!
So, it makes the whole two bedroon house AND its two bedroom basement really really warm and we pay something between $100 to $200. Although the $200 is for when the weather is 50 degrees below zero outside, and the upstairs people have their livingroom window wide open for at least two hours a day (to get oxygen) and the furnace keeps running over and over and over!!!!

If you can get a furnace switch with a timer, (which we do not have) then you can save A LOT in gas money. You can set it to start warming the place before you get up, or before you get home from work/school/etc. In this case no gas will be used to warm an empty apartment and add dollars to your bill.

What would be an average electric bill for a one bedroom apartment in Phoenix during the summer?

Nick

I am moving to Phoenix in three weeks. I will be in a one bedroom apartment around 750 sq feet. The building is less than two years old. Right now im just trying to get a rough estimate of my utilities each month.

Answer
About $200-250 depending on where you keep your temp set. I keep mine around 75 and in the summer it runs almost all day and half the night.

Turning 16, redoing my bedroom as my birthday present. Need a lot of help with ideas!!!?

zebra bedroom set image

Amanda

I'm turning 16 in February and for my present I was going to redo my room. Right now my room is a blue, so I don't want a blue bedroom again because I got sick of that color easily. I had a spring-like green room before the blue so I don't want a green bedroom again. I also don't want a purple, red, yellow, or orange bedroom. Originally what I wanted was pink walls with black and white decorations, but I feel like everyone has a room just like that. Then I decided that I wanted grey walls with black and white decorations and then have pops of color. I wasn't sure what color I wanted to have "pop" and I wasn't sure what shade of grey that I wanted. So I told my dad a few days ago and he said that he is not painting a room in his house grey because he hates the color. This got me very upset because I had this idea in my head for a long time and he told me that I was not a loud to do it. At the same time I was still very unsure about the idea so I pretty much had to start from scratch with the whole idea. I honestly would love a pink room but I don't want it to be too kiddish. I was thinking maybe really light pink walls, where it's almost like a white, then grey and white decorations; but for some reason those colors reminded me of a nursery. I'm totally lost right now and I really need help picking colors. I would love to do an accent wall but I feel like I would have trouble pulling that off because I honestly have a terrible eye for colors and mixing them together. I don't want any colors that are too bright, I want it to look mature and modern. I almost would like for it to look city-like without making it so obvious. It's really hard trying to come up with ideas because I want it to be original but I have nothing when it comes to creativity. Also I would like to keep my furniture white because I already have a white dresser and make up table that I don't want to get rid of. I wanted a black bed, the one that's made of metal but I wasn't sure if it would look weird having two different furniture colors. And when you walk into my room to the left is a wall with two big windows, to the right is a long closet that takes up the whole wall and the wall is tilted because it's upstairs and it's tilted because of the roof; it's hard to explain but it's like a small slightly tilted wall and then right under neath is that closet. Then right across from the door is a long wall with just one small window that is almost right in the middle of the wall but it is slightly closer to the closet on the right. And then where the door is there's some wall to the left and some wall to the right. I don't if that will help you on deciding where I should place an accent color, if you have any suggestions for that. I really hope this isn't too much and I hope you can help me because I am so confused and I need to start planning now because my dad is going to start redoing my room soon. Thank you!!
Also when I said I didn't want purple, orange, red or yellow, I meant wall colors. I would consider using them as decoration colors if I think it will look good. I prefer neutral colors and I don't want anything brown!! The only thing that's gonna be brown is my hardwood floors because I'm not allowed to have a carpet.

Answer
Colors: http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/ Look at the "Whites" section - very lightly tinted colors. Maybe together you and your Dad can find a shade of gray that will not depress him . . . .

Pink, white & gray with black accents would be amazing. This way, you could keep your white furniture and also get the black metal bed and it would not be out of place. I hear you about the whole "everyone's doing it" mentality regarding pink, black and white bedrooms. I feel that a lot of that has to do with the shade of pink (usually hot pink or fuchsia/magenta) and the kind of black & white print/pattern used (usually zebra or leopard). In my opinion, hot pink and black & white animal print has been done to death.

Some sites to check for ideas:
http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=uh3_answers_web_gs&va=pink+gray+white+bedrooms+ideas

http://decorchick.com/bedroom-makeover/

http://www.colorcombos.com/color-schemes/101/ColorCombo101.html (This would be equally effective with lighter shades of the pink & gray than shown.)

If you are going to go with an accent wall, use the one that you see when opening the door. You can go with a solid accent color or do a subtle stripe pattern using the main room color and an accent color. You could use a patterned wallpaper that matches your paint color. Or you could even forgo the whole "I need to have an accent wall" mentality all together and invest in some larger-scale artwork for that wall. Check out www.greatbigcanvas.com if you are interested in this option. You can get actual canvases, photo-real canvases, larger scale poster prints and they even do wall murals - the pricing depends upon what you want. And, since you'd mentioned cityscapes, they have quite the selection of city skyline artwork too.

If Dad won't paint a room gray and you are set on using it for your decor, then consider using the color for your bedding and curtains. Target has a decently priced bedding set that is a tonal gray geometric print that looks quite elegant. If you are planning to try to match your grays, then I'd suggest you purchase your bedding set first. This way, when you are curtain shopping you can take a pillowcase with you for color matching purposes.

I really hope that this is enough to get you started and that your room turns out amazing.

White and Black bedroom decorating ideas?

Q. Im going to be in grade eight and im moving into a new house. My bedroom will be themed black and white. Is there a color that would be a good accent for my themed ones? What are some decorating ideas, or things i could buy for it?

Answer
Black and white with an accent color is one of the easiest themes to pull off. What I usually suggest is black & white plus your favorite color (two or three shades of the color - maximum). If I were doing this for me, I'd pick teal or turquoise or a royal blue as those are my favorites :) and I'd go with a black & white patterned bedding - just NOT zebra print as I feel it has been done to death in recent years.

Pick black or white for your furniture or go for a dark wood.

Wall color could be a light to medium gray OR a light to medium shade of your third color. If you use gray for the walls, then use your third color for accent pieces like curtains, throws or pillows. If you use a darker shade of paint, then use mainly lighter shades of the same color for your accents with maybe one item the same shade as the paint. If you use a lighter shade of paint, then do the reverse.
Here's a nice turquoise/teal for instance:
http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6944-pool-blue/

or gray:

Target is great for black & white bedding and they also have a great selection of black & white photo posters that are reasonably priced. With a black & white themed bedroom you can use black, white or silver toned frames for your posters/pictures. Depending upon the size you need, you may be able to obtain frames to fit your color scheme at your local dollar stores.

Hope this gives you some ideas to work with and helps you out.

Anyone have any creative ideas involving housing a family of four in a two-bedroom apartment?

master bedroom set ideas image

sweet_suns

There are two adults and two children (ages 8 and 6) in the family, and I'm looking for a cteative way to house us in a two-bedroom apartment. Since I have one girl and one boy, each has one bedroom right now, and my boyfriend and I sleep on a futon in the living room and I share the closet with my daughter, he shares the one in my son's room. It's nice for the kids because they each have a fairly large room to themselves, but my boyfriend and I don't have much privacy! I'm trying to think of other ways to make the situation work....and we're looking at another apartment, also with only 2 bedrooms (because getting a three-bedroom where we live is very difficult and it costs almost twice as much as a two-bedroom!). Anwyay, this new apartment we're considering has one of it's bathrooms in the master bedroom, which means whichever kid gets that room will get the bathroom and the other three of us will have to share the remaining bathroom. Is there another way we could set things up?
We like where we live (a block from the beach) and don't want to move to another area!! :P
I really don't feel it's appropriate for an 8 year old girl and a 6 year old boy to be sharing a room (in fact, in some states, it's illegal, if I'm not mistaken!)

Answer
Yes, I know it's taboo and you may be giving them ideas that they can do what you and your boyfriend do. On the assumption that you and your boyfriend are their parents then you can use the, mommies and daddies sleep in the same room concept or you don't do this until you're reached age ___. I don't like the idea of room sharing/division in such a skewed way as you're suggesting with a master bathroom.

You can use room partitions or a camping theme and put the kids in the same room. Bunk beds will give it a more camp like theme.

Or, you can use a princess/knight concept. Knights are the protectors of their ladies, therefore there isn't any "weird" message. However, each of their bunks could have curtains or sheers of some sort from modesty.

Or you could blend the two.

You could also have them pretend they are cars from the movie Cars. I don't believe they show any of the Cars sharing a "garage" in the movie.

That's my two cents. Hope it helps.

Master bedroom furniture is traditional dark brown (new), what color can I paint walls?

Amateur

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.

Answer
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
Chocolate brown & Metallic Gold & Neutral bisque
Chocolate brown & Delicate teal & Teal blue
Chocolate brown & Teal blue & Gernaium red
Chocolate brown & Brick red & Sky blue

Espresso brown & Soft Orange & Coffee with cream
Espresso brown & Aquamarine & Silver
Espresso brown & Blushing Pink & Silver
Espresso brown & Hot pink and Icy Silver
Espresso brown & Candy apple red & Graphite gray
Espresso brown & Cinnamon & Pale sky blue

Light purple & Teal Blue & Geranium red
Cream & Earthy green & Cinnamon
Gold & Copper & Brownish Taupe
Coral brown & Cream & Rich brown
Brilliant yellow & Lavender & Light brown
Orange & Burnt Orange & Brown
Gray brown & Red & Cream
Orange & Dark brown & Metallic gold
Golden yellow & Sky blue & Velvety brown
Aquamarine & Butterscotch gold & dark brown
Cinnamon & Dark brown & Sky blue

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:

http://keelynet.com/biology/coloraff.htm

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...!

Mode of Transportation in Brunei?

bedroom set malaysia image

Allan Troy

Our entire family will be moving to Brunei. I'd like to know what the mode of transportation is there and how everyday go about. Can you give me an idea with regard to the regular fare to get from one point to another especially in Bandar Seri Begawan? Also apartment rates and daily expenses?

Answer
Living in Brunei is like living in a country side and yet with all the city facilities within you reach.

There is this phrase there 'without a car, as if you have 1 leg broken'.
Seriously you MUST have a car to live over there. Worry not, cars are simply too cheap due to no taxes. I sold my honda civic (8years old) at BND$3K when i left 5 years ago. Thats how cheap it is.

It will be a joke for Bruneian to take public transport, vehicle ownership is four (4) vehicles per household. May i repeat, vehicle ownership is four (4) vehicles per household. They have extensive network of roads and highways.

Dont be surprise, bus services only started somewhere in 1998 on limited routes and are packed with foreign labours. Well, thats what they are meant for.
Taxi services are also available though the no is very much limited and be ready for a shock on the fare. Imagine, less than 50 taxis (fifty) for the whole country and they are mostly at the airport.

Another surprise, they dont live in apartments but detached houses. My previous employer paid BND800 for our 3-bedrooms detached house some 10km away from the city. Thanks to the tax free regime, groceries though 99% imported are still very much reasonably priced. As a guidance, KFC lunch set cost BND7.99 (2 pcs of chix, coleslaw, mashed potato, 12 oz carbonated drink). A buffet dinner at Royal Brunei airport restaurant cost BND39.00 exc drinks, no tax and no tippings.

You can join the Brunei Yatch club to hang around with the foreigners.

Everything is cheaper on the other side of the Malaysian border. Just be prepared to follow the weekly cross-border routine of the foreigners, locals alike. For entertainment/shopping, you can cross the western border to MIRI in Sarawak Malaysia. Some 2.5 hours smooth driving from Bandar Seri Begawan. For a quick drinks, you can reach KUALA LURAH, adjacent to the southern immigration complex in 30 minutes drive from the city. Kota Kinabalu in East Malaysia is a young vibrant city 20 minutes flight away from the city.

I had enjoyed my 10 years of working/living there and wish you all the luck.

How much a discount I should get if any?

bedroom set armoire image

tiannaboob

I went to Value city furniture to purchase a bedroom set for$3147. It was that much because I added an armoire for $899.99. At that time they had enough armoires in stock for me to get. Over two weeks later I get a call from them saying the warehouse no longer had any more armoires and they were discontinued, and I could get the one on the floor. I have no idea how long it has been on the floor or if its in good condition. (I will see tomorrow).

Answer
Ask them to take off $150.00, they will probably come down to $100.00. I can't see them not taking something off, when the alternative could be risking the sale.

Whats the different between a Rural Community, a Urban Community, and a Suburban Community?

bedroom set long island image

ash.

I have to do a Triple Venn Diagram for one of my classes, but I dont really know what the differences are. What do you find in a Rural Community, that you dont see in an Urban Community? What do they drive? What do people live in over there? (Apartments, condos, houses, etc.) Helppp pleaseeeee?

Answer
Rural is large tracts of land with plenty of Farms. Average land holding is 50 acres or more.
Urban is City Living with apartment buildings and heavy traffic
Suburban is a bedroom community for a major city.
They drive cars since the USA has roads every where.
Look up New York State. New York City is a Urban setting with High rises, condos, co ops, town houses and private homes. Most use public transportation since parking spaces are at a premium.
Long Island is a Suburban community with people for the most part working in the City. They drive and use public transportation. Then look at upstate NY roughly 250 miles from the city and you see Dairy Farms, State Land, Produce Farms, lakes, streams. Drive cars since no public transportation.

Where's the best place to stay in the US Virgin Islands, St. Thomas?

Lorraine P

I am planning a trip to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands in August. Where is the best place to stay and why? Are there any sites and/or excursions that I must see/try before leaving? The trip will be part relaxation, part adventurous, and part romantic. No children traveling with us.

Answer
When I went to St. Thomas we stayed at Marriott Frenchmans Reef and Morningstar Resort. Frenchmans Reef is the actual hotel and Morningstar are little cubic cottages located directly on the beach. You have access to the hotel; however, its a long, but scenic, walk up many flights of steps. Direct next to Frenchmans Reef and Morningstar Resort is another Marriott property. It is called Marriott Frenchmans Cove. This is a timeshare property; however, you can rent through http://www.redweek.com. This is what we used for when we went to Aruba this summer. From 8/05/11 to 8/12/11 it's $214 per night at Frenchmans Cove for a two bedroom villa with a kitchen.(Having a kitchen will save you A LOT of money.) I recommend you rent a car to be able to explore the whole island(and go to the grocery store and go shopping! Trust me alcohol there is half the price!). Somethings you must do/see.

Beaches:
Magens Bay: Beautiful heart-shaped beach. Voted one of the top ten in the world.
Lindquist Beach: Beautiful stretch of beach, our personal favorite.
Sapphire Beach: There were so many different shades of blue and good snorkeling here too! (bring your own snorkels and pack them in your suitcase).

Shopping:
In downtown Charlotte Amelie by where the cruise ships are there is a nice shopping center (duty-free)
Near there is a thing we called "Tent City". It is just a bunch of tents where vendors set up this is where we bought all of our souvenirs for VERY cheap!

Restaurants:
Hooters was pretty good, i LOL'd at the mini casino in it.
Glady's Cafe was a little hole-in-the-wall place downtown in an ally. Great food!
Havana Blue, upscale gourmet dining at Marriott. Very pricey.

Attractions/Things to do:
Paradise Point: a skyride in downtown nice little bar and restaurant at the top. great views of the island.
Parasailing: Amazing. The colors of blue you can see when you're up in the air!
Ferry to St. John: Take the car barge to St. John, a neighboring US virgin island. It's 42 round trip to take your car over to the island. Stay for the day and hit up Trunk Bay. THIS IS THE BEST BEACH IN THE CARIBBEAN, i promise you! There is an underwater snorkeling trail. This is the best snorkeling ever and the bluest water I have ever seen.

When you buy a bedroom set does it come with the Matress too?

bedroom set buy online image

Cassandra

I am looking online for a bedroom set and it does not say anything about a Matress included.. I need to know if i need to save money for a matress too.

Answer
usually the mattress and box springs are sold seperately from the bedroom set. make sure when you purchase the mattress, you are getting the set.

i don't recommend buying a mattress online. this is a product you need to see, touch and feel before buying

What is the difference between a full and an oversized twin?

bedroom set queen sale image

threelittl

I plan to buy a comforter set in an "oversized twin" but i have a full bed. Will it still work?

Answer
Hi
It can be more difficult to find bedding for an extra long twin bed. In stores, these extra long sheets are easier to find at the end of the summer, during back to school sales. You can also find sheets for an extra long twin bed online.

Some suggest using an extra long twin bed in a guest room. If you purchase two, you can push them together and create a king-size bed. Keep in mind that if you do buy an extra long mattress, you will need a new bed frame to go with it. Most mattress stores will include a new frame for little or no cost with the purchase of a new mattress and box spring.

If an extra long twin bed is not what you are looking for, there are many other mattress sizes available. A double bed, also known as a full, is another popular choice for a guest bedroom or a small apartment. These are 54 inches by 75 inches (137 cm by 190 cm). Some couples find them uncomfortable and too small for two people.

The most popular sizes for couples are queen and king size beds. Queen beds are 60 inches by 80 inches (152 cm by 203 cm). Standard king size beds are the widest available at 76 inches by 80 inches (193 cm by 203 cm), and the longest beds available, California kings, are 72 inches by 84 inches (182 cm by 213 cm).

Hope this helps

just let me know the website

thanks!

Answer
You can get a metal bed frame with adapter plates that will allow you to bolt on your HB and FB, but use your full-sized mattress instead of the queen-size. The only thing you would not be using would be the rails that come with the bed (if there are any). Any mattress store in your town carries metal frames, and they can help you choose the right one for the bed you are buying.

What kind of bedroom furniture should I get?

bedroom set quality image

Jason Vand

I'm moving into my new place next week and I'll be searching for a bedroom set. Is there anything I should know about whats good and what isn't? I want quality, but I don't want to spend a fortune. I'm a 20 year old college student. I like the beds that sit closer to the ground, but I'm not sure about the quality on those. Hopefully you guys/gals can help me out.

Answer
My advice for anyone wanting to buy new furniture but are on a budget: Go shopping at your local furniture store and take notes on the make & model of the furniture that you like. You can then go to the internet & find the exact same furniture(many times with free delivery) at a huge discount. Here is a site that has links to many stores that sell the beds that sit close to the ground.

Is furniture made in Southeast Asia of good quality?

senknfl

I am considering buying a bedroom set made by Magnussen Home. The set is made in Vietnam of solid hardwood. I am a little concerned that it my not be of great quality. I don't want to buy it if it is going to be a piece of junk that falls apart. Is furniture made in Southeast Asia of good quality? Or does the quality of the furniture depend more on material and quality of construction than it does on where it was built?

Answer
I am in the furniture business and do carry Magnussen. 95% of all case goods are made there now. They make some very well built furniture. All dove tail joints on the drawers. Nice wood on wood guides. And very nice carvings on there pieces. What group are you interested in? The Valenza and Reflections are my favorites from them.
Don't worry about where it is made just look at how it's made.

Which Hotels in Las vegas offer 2 bedroom suites?

bedroom set las vegas image

Jenny

I am planning to go to Las vegas in march and we were going to stay at the Desert rose hotel because they have two bedroom suites that are really reasonable but they are booked the weekend we are going. so we need another hotel that has the same set up. it doesn't have to be on the strip, please help.

Answer
That actually isn't a hotel but a timeshare. That is what you will have to look into renting for a two bedroom. With timeshares nearly going out of business they are now renting the units just like hotel rooms. Weekends here are crowded but you should still have no trouble finding one.

Can you give me ideas/help for decorating single guy's house?

bedroom furniture ideas small rooms image

Jim I

I'm a thirty-year-old single guy. I like dogs, the outdoors, my Jeep Wrangler, autumn, good wine, travel, photography...

I'm trying to integrate my "likes" into my home. I have painted my living/dining room two colors of khaki, and a chalkboard-green wall. I have a brown leather couch, and walnut tables and bookcases. I've also remodeled my guest bathroom - new flooring, hardware, paint, etc.

However, I'm trying to get ideas on decorating... accent pieces, dining room furniture, bedroom furniture (blank slate right now) and my own bathroom. I need help finding websites for "bachelor pads" and masculine design (not a lot of flowery-things). I'd like to redo the kitchen with the small tiles as a backsplash.

I'd like to find websites/books/magazines that show off a masculine home. Pictures are a must!!

The main goals are to have a cool guy's house and up the resale value.

Serious responses only... any help is appreciated. Thanks!
As I said, folks... I need pictures, websites, magazines, etc. While I appreciate the suggestions, does no one know of ANY place to LOOK at pictures to get ideas? That's what I'm wanting.

Answer
Hi!
Ok, I am a seasoned interior designer and know exactly what you are saying. Go to www.getdecorating.com and preview all the rooms. When you find a room that has the assets you are looking for, simply save the photo into a desktop file. Continue until you have viewed all rooms that are desirable to you. Go into your design folder (on your desktop) when you are finished and take notes on what items in each room are appropriate for your own style. Masculine styles are often the old world style that includes leathers, etc. When you are designing your rooms in masculine form you will need to add some softness into each room. This will make your rooms more appealing and approachable. In this I mean, adding some chenile pillows to your leather pieces along with some wool or chenile throws to wrap up in when nights turn cold. Add a table runner in a deep pumpkin color and some coordinating dinner plates in an autumn green. There are some really nice black iron candle holders out on the market. Some extend the entire length of a dining table or coffee table. Another thing is to add a few very large potted plants into your decor scheme. This will add life into your spaces. Tall palms and the like are great to add to empty corners. You can add an uplight behind each plant for drama at night. Make sure you repot the plants into desirable containers that go with your particular room. Lamps add great interest to rooms as well. You will find that there are a wide variety in wood or iron to match your rooms. Your wall decor should be kept simple and I would suggest the rod picture hanging kit which holds several sized frames. Some of these are mirrors. I would suggest the wood tones. These rod kits are simple to install, just as simple as a curtain rod. Go solid colors in your bedding. Choose two colors that appeal to you. Use one for the spread and the other for the sheet sets. Go simple. Select an additional comforter to fold at the foot of the bed. This accent comforter should have both colors in it and this will bring your bedroom together nicely. Add a couple of solid throw pillows, an art piece above the bed, lamps and maybe an old antique chair to add interest in one corner along with another tall plant and uplight. I am sure you are getting the picture now. Most of all, have FUN with this!

How should I decorate my bedroom?

Avery

I'm redoing my bedroom and I need help. I have a small room with dark wood furniture and carpet. I'm willing to repaint my walls, but right now they are a neutral yellowish color. I really like vintage but I also like fun patterns, such as floral and chevron, in bright colors. I do not want to have to spend too much money. Please comment any decorating tips, design ideas, etc. Some website links would also be nice :)

Answer
i would keep it mature and do a tan wall color and white baseboards and ceiling

i would keep the bright floral to bedding and one canvas art over the bed that could have bright colors that pop with the bedding

adding to much bright colors will not give your room a statement tan walls...or a color you like more like baby blue or a brighter yellow...will be doable in the long run...so you can swap up the bedding...

no posters

vintage could be items placed on the wall or a cool head board or dresser...but less is best...

I am looking for affordable one way truck rental from Toronto to Calgary any advise?

bedroom set queen size image

chamseddin

I am moving from Toronto to Calgary I am planning to move my Queen size bedroom set and Sofa.
I am not sure which company would be the best is it Uhaul or any other suggestions please thank you.

Answer
Fro that shipment you will probably pay far too much using a U-haul and drive yourself. They are pretty expensive. You can of course look up their web-site and calculate the cost for yourself.

http://www.uhaul.com/

Why not call up any of the major shipping firms and talk to their estimator. You will probably get a much better price from them. They all offer less-than-carload rates for smaller shipments.

This is a major agency, but you can always look up the majors on your own.

http://canada-movers.ca/?kwd_id=15198-E732376E-2EFE-4F66-9FA5-C7F1E55BDD7CS16991201686&gclid=CK-spdz5xbMCFYs7MgodwwQAxw

But, in all fairness, do you REALLY want to move any furniture at all. Do consider what you can sell them for on www.kijiji.ca or www.craigslist.com - perhaps your income, minus cost of buying new furniture is less than the cost of moving. Then, no worries about breakage and you start off with brand new furniture in Calgary. Even if new furniture costs a little more, you start off with new stuff...!

How do I match up a bed frame to my headboard?

B. M. W

Recently I bought a bedroom set and it came with a headboard. The headboard supports a queen size bed. I had a full-size bed. If I find a good bed frame how can I know if it will attach? I guess they all come with something for connecting the frame to the headboard? I did find a bed frame at Wallmart but it it says it doesn't require the box spring. So, maybe it will be too high to connect onto the headboard.
Thanks in advance for the help,
Bruce

Answer
You have to match the frame to the headboard. If you have a queen-sized headboard and a full-sized bed frame, the headboard will be too big. If you want to use it anyway, you will have to make some adapter brackets.

How to throw a huge Project x party?

bedroom set under 300 image

Jean

I live in a rural area and have a lot of land. Im 16. I'm far away from neighbors. I have about 7 acres. I consulted my mom and she approved. I want to throw a huge party with at least 300 people. I am pretty sure I'd be okay with law enforcement on the count of no noise complaints from neighbors being far away. There might be some underage drinking so I was thinking to have a form minors have to sign in order to drink so they couldn't get back at me for that. I was thinking to hire a dj. Have a huge area for camping. A bonfire. A few security guards. A bunch of water balloons and a slip and slide because I don't own a pool. Have the house only be open for restroom reasons and indoor activities like dancing games and karaoke (living room mainly). Lock all bedrooms. People clock their belongings in their tents, cars, or the bedrooms s their safe. If anyone wanted to fight someone I'd have my security break it up. No firearms or weapons of any sort will be allowed. Have a bunch of decorations like balloons and what not. Maybe have a live bnd play. My side yard will be designated for parking and I'd have a parking director outside. All food and beverages will be on the back deck on a party table. I want to make sure I have things set and ready for the most worse cases. Does this sound good to you guys? Should I think about more things? Any ideas? Just want to have a party that will sky rocket my reputation. I'm going to a vocational school and I'll invite people from there and from my home school and they can bring people. There will be no destroying of property and that will result in discharge of the party. Im sure with that many people, thre will be someone who will bring illegal drugs (I personally don't do anything, but I won't stop them.) people will not be permitted to leave if they are too drunk or tired to drive, they will be forced to camp or have someone pick them up. All valuables will be locked and stored away properly. My moms boyfriend is a firefighter and could help if they party is out of control or the bonfire gets out of hand. People will be notified what the boundary of the propery is and there will be posted signs. The animals will be kept inside away from guests. There might possibly be two fires since the yard is rather large nd there will be a lot of people. I'm hiking a normal fire up front and a bigger fire out back. There will be trash cans everywhere (though people usually throw stuff on the ground) but for easier clean up. I'm sure people will be hooking up, they can do whatever thy want in their tnts, that's not my business. There will beva olleyball net set up for people to play some games if they want. Food and beverages will be provided. People will be notified that there could be drinking. Neighbors will be notified that there could be some noise since I'm far away but close enough to see their houses. There may be fireworks. I just want to make sure this is a party they won't forget. Thanks for your response.

Answer
This sounds AMAZING! I'm so jealous! Here's a few tips:

1) If you plan on 300 people, only invite 250. When people realise you're having such a huge party, they'll tell their friends and also bring people along with them!

2) Get twice as much food and drink as you think you'll need! If I was you I wouldn't supply alcohol for anyone apart from you and your close friends because if your mom gets charged with 300 counts of supplying alcohol to minors I can guarantee you'll never be allowed another party.

3) Be prepared for gatecrashers. People that force their way into parties aren't known for being polite, so get ready for foul language and possibly violence. I'd let your security know the second you see someone you don't want in your home.

4) When it's time for the fireworks, make sure there's no drunk people fumbling about with matches and explosives. Also, it's cool that your mom's boyfriend is a fireman because it would be a good idea to have him in charge of lighting the fireworks and making sure the bonfires stay under control.

5) Have a well-stocked First Aid kit in reach, because with such a big party, fights and accidents are bound to happen!

Most importantly, have fun! I've thrown a few parties, but at my first I was a nervous wreck! I was constantly running about checking that people were enjoying themselves that I forgot to enjoy it myself.

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

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

What do I need to know about moving to West Hollywood?

bedroom set okc image

Whitney

I've settled on West Hollywood as my ideal place to live when I move to LA at the end of the summer.

Before you write in telling me how crappy LA is and be all negative, let me say this: I know LA isn't a great place to live. I know there is traffic and smog and creepy ass people and gangs (that being said I lived in Oklahoma City which has the largest gang population in the country next to LA and it wasn't that bad plus it's a complete sewer system and I can't imagine LA being anything close to OKC even with all the negative stuff I've read about it).

I'm going there to be an actress. I'm NOT going there to be famous, or to get rich and all that BS. I know it's pretty much a pipe dream and the odds of making it is rare. I have actually studied acting and film for a long time. It's my passion and I'm damn good at it and the only reason I want to move to LA is because that's where a majority of the work is. I could be happy having to work as a waitress and living in a crappy apartment if it meant I could work towards being an actor. I know about all the scams and all the stuff that happens in the industry. I'm a grown adult and god forbid, I've been able to survive on my own for a while now. I'm confident I can do it in LA.

I have a lot of money saved up, money set aside for emergency flights home, car problems, and enough to live on completely for about a year, and I will be moving with no debt. My car is paid off and my parents agreed to pay my insurance and cell phone. All I need to worry about is rent, gas, food, and utilities. I plan on finding an apartment or house with a roommate or two.

All that being said, I just want to know about West Hollywood. From what I've read it's a generally safe area and it's close to a lot of stuff, with lots of young people.

But I want to hear from people who have lived there, not just statistics from random websites and stupid negative people. Tell me about what it's like to live there. What are the great things about living there? What are the sucky things? What are the people like? How easy is it to find apartments (I've read LA is full of apartments and its not hard to find one like it would be in places like NYC). How much will car insurance run me? How much is gas up there on average? Is WeHo an ideal place to be for someone in the entertainment industry?
I don't mind people thinking I'm gay. To me that's like people thinking I'm black. It's irrelevant. Plus, I love my gays and it's actually appealing to me to be around them. And there's only 120,000 actors in SAG so as far as I'm concerned there's only 120,000 REAL actors in LA
To answer the second person's question, by the time I move I plan on having about $50,000 saved, but I will also be working. That money is just to get me going and through rough patches if I lose my job or something.
Oh! and I've been looking at a lot of roommate sites and there's lots of pretty nice places with people seeking roommates asking about $1200 all bills paid. That is ideal for me.
and to add another thing. I am from a very wealthy, expensive part of Dallas where a 1-bedroom will run you about $1000 - 1500, so nothing about the pricing of LA shocks me.

Answer
WeHo is not an ideal place for you to live. I'd recommend Studio City. It's near most of the major studios. It's right next to Hollywood, is a very nice area (lots of celebrities live here, Robert Blake shot his wife here, Britney Spears got married here), and is much more affordable for the same apartment. You can get a nice 1 bedroom for 1200 here. There are 3 supermarkets, a Trader Joe's, a farmer's market every Sunday morning, a nice mall nearby that isn't ever crowded. All the laid back people who actually work in the industry live here. Because a lot of special effects people from the studios occupy a large amount of the houses here, there are 2 areas with the best trick or treating and haunted houses in the city. So unlike WeHo, where the hipster losers who are always pimping their script or acting reel (unless that's what you want) outnumber the actual actors, you will meet actual people working in the industry here.

Since you want to be an actor you need to know the location of the major studios. CBS Studios is located in Studio City. Universal Studios is right next to Studio City. Warner Bros and Disney are nearby in Burbank. The only major studio in Hollywood is Paramount and it's in the bad part of Hollywood (yes there is a bad part). Fox is in Century City. Sony is far away in Culver City. But that's okay, because the most traveled freeway in LA, the 101, goes through Studio City.

Hope this helps you. By the way, Los Angeles probably has the most expensive gas prices in the country. The average is $3.00 a gallon here right now, while the US average is $2.54.

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

bedroom set names 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).

Where can I find good quality cherry bedroom furniture on line?

KPP

My style is traditional. I want a medium cherry. I like panel beds, not sleigh beds. But most panel beds are boring... need something with a little bit of curve on sides, not just a big box look. I have looked EVERYWHERE on line and just can't find a bed & bedroom set I like. HELP!! We are willing to spend a decent amount of money for something we are going to love for years.

Answer
Cherry furniture custom
I can see why you have been having an impossible time finding quality solid Cherry furniture. 99.99% of cherry furniture is a combination of Hardwood and hardwood veneer over particleboard with a Cherry finish. Import is the name of the game no matter who the maker is. There is virtually no large scale furniture manufacturing in America today. One option is custom furniture offered by small craft shops in the mid west. Often Amish or Mennonite shops make very fine furniture in your choice of woods. We have Amish craftsman that can offer Solid cherry with impeccable quality. One group being manufactured for www.barnfurnituremart.com has the curved lines you spoke of that we stock in Quarter Sawn White Oak. These pieces can be made in Solid Cherry to your size specifications and in any piece either bedroom, dining room, or any other piece you would like. The link shows this group with Mission Style handles in Oak; however, we added the Mission handles and changed the wood to turn it into Mission. We can easily use any other styles of hardware.
It is always best to start with one small piece to get an idea of the quality of the shop and you should beware of Amish makers who are Amish furniture brokers. Their prices are higher and sometime the quality is not as good.
We have many customers that fly in to visit our store which has been in the same location for 65 years.

Moving into my first condo? Cost of bills? How to set it up?

bedroom set sacramento image

Alexis

I am moving into a condo in SACRAMENTO, CA. I am living in a 3 bedroom/ 2.5 bathroom. I have 2 roommates and our rent is $1200. Rent INCLUDES Water and Cable. We have to set up our own Electric Services, Sewage, and Internet. HOW do you set these up? Who do you call? How much do each of these typically cost in SACRAMENTO per month?

Answer
You call each utility company and open an account, the company will want a cash deposit on average of 300. You tell them when you want service to start and after asking you questions such as Name the Account will be opened under, SSN, Bank, Credit Report and so on.
No guess on the costs per service. Electric and Sewage are dependent on your usage and will vary each month. Internet can be as little as 20 and as high as 50.

How do you like living in San Jose, California?

jellymouse

What are the best and worst things about it? Is it a boring or interesting place to live? What are the best, worst, and in between neighborhoods to live in? What's the political climate like?

Answer
San Jose is okay. I was born and raised in San Jose. Moved to Sacramento for a few years and came back. Honestly, I only live here because my family does otherwise I would live somewhere that housing is more affordable.

San Jose has pretty much whatever you could want - malls, movie theaters, golf, miniature golf, bowling, water slide park, mountain hiking, parks, etc. San Francisco is about an hour drive and the beach is about a 30 minute drive. It almost never snows (something like once every 20 years), there is not a lot of rain, there are not typically many 100+ degrees days although the last couple of years we did have a heat wave that lasted a couple of weeks each summer.

It is an expensive place to live. The average rent for a 2 bedroom is $1500. You can find some cheaper but they may not be places or areas you would really want to live at. As with most big cities there is crime. However, there is no more crime than any other comparable size city. We don't have four distinctive seasons like other areas do. The people are not as friendly as in other states. Traffic can be horrible at commute time.

Expensive but very nice areas near San Jose are:
Los Gatos, Saratoga and Monte Sereno

Moderate expense and nice areas would include:
West San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, parts of Sunnyvale and parts of Santa Clara.

Places that are cheaper but less desirable:
East San Jose, South San Jose and parts of Milpitas

There is mix of political views here. Most people I run in to do not talk politics as people seem to be pretty set in their views of things.

Hope that helps you. If you have more questions send me an email.

I purchased this bedding http://www.sears.ca/product/colormate-md-colormate-sausalito-microfibre-bedding/coord-192426

I have cherry wood bedroom set I can't part with or paint out. How should I decorate my room to match the bedding I purchased. Colors, accents, etc. I need to keep it light in there as I don't get much sun in my bedroom it's on the end of the house.

I'm buying new bedroom furniture, what kind of wood should I look for?

Gwendolyn

Hi, I don't know much about furniture other than saying something is cute or not, but I was told by a friend that I should stick with solid wood construction and avoid veneers, but I noticed that there are a lot of different varieties of wood used in different furniture sets. So far I've seen pine, maple, oak, alder, cherry, and mahogany. What's the best? What makes it best? What makes other wood cheap or poor quality? And is there a site online that can help to better explain why I want a better quality wood for my furniture and what in fact makes it better? I'm really hoping someone can help me out because I want to buy a nice quality bedroom set and I don't want to pay top dollar for junky furniture either. Thanks in advance.
What about this furniture? Does it seem okay? http://www.mybobs.com/catalog/set_view.asp?packageid=585&room=bedroom

Answer
The wood species is up to you, what do you like? If you choose a posted set, the posts should be solid wood. Any panels you choose can be veneered or solid. Veneer panels are much better than they used to be. The glues used are better and manufacturers are willing to stand behind them. Solid wood panels are beautiful but may require multiple glue joints to achieve adequate width. This can create inconsistent grain patterns. If you see something that looks good at the store, but when you get it it doesn't look so great, go back to the store and demand the display. They tend to show the best.
Hope this helps.
