Katie


I love both of these plaid bedding but I am a girl and I am not sure what to put in my room with this bedding to make it match but also make it girly? Can you help and give links to decoration ideas? I have white bedroom furniture (daybead) and ill be painting it a new color and adding stuff, so what color should I make my walls?

Here is the link for the plaid bedding:

Answer
Cute bedspreads! First of all, I would suggest going with lighter wall colors. Maybe like 3 light gray walls and a red/blue wall (matching the bed color) to bring the room together? If you did all of the walls a blue or red, your room would look smaller (and lighting can make the bed and walls clash)

I've been seeing light gray in lots of designer home magazines.
Example 1: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3649/3351006157_12191832b9.jpg
Example 2: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uuyG1AGcp8Q/TJkmnCqc2I/AAAAAAAACBI/FPdASpJl3lA/s400/H%26H_greybed0608_0.jpg
Example 3: http://www.elementsofstyleblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/102309plaidfloral3.jpg
The white furniture would look great against the light gray and would create some balance.
Also, hang some white picture frames!

If your in to silver... spice up your room with some shiny accents such as mirrors (can make your space look bigger!)

Their 'chores' will include feeding turtles, watching whales and collecting the post.

He or she will not need qualifications. although they will have to be a good swimmer, and enjoy snorkelling and scuba diving.

Computer skills would be handy too - a weekly online blog, photo diary and video updates are also part of the job description.

The boss of Queensland Tourism, Anthony Hayes, says the idea behind the offer is to promote the island globally.

"This campaign aims to highlight the islands of the Great Barrier Reef and showcase Australia's unique island experience to the global market," he said.

The last date for applying is February 22. Eleven potential candidates will be picked and flown out for interviews, with the final choice being made on May 6.

Helen McNaught from Tourism Queensland told Sky News online there has been no shortage of interest.

"The successful applicant will need to be keen on the water and all water sports activities... and, most important of all, they'll need a zest for life." she said.

Building a bedroom set myself?

D@rKn3ss F


Anyone have any good websites where I can download or peruse some good bed/dresser/other bedroom furniture plans that DONT cost money? I plan on building my entire bedroom set myself, rather then spend over 2 grand at a furniture store.


Answer
I have found lots of free furniture building plans but they are scattered all over the net. Search for free furniture plans, or use bed, or dresser etc.. You will find them. When it's free on the net it takes time to find but worth it when you do.

Any ideas on how to cover/hide a television in a bed room?




Kayla L


I just found a bed room set at Ashley's furniture store and it is amazing. The problem is it doesn't have the matching armior. I was thinking about putting a flat screen tv on the chest that goes with the bedroom set, but I don't want it to be visible. Any ideas on how I can hide the tv when it is not in use?


Answer
Find a carpenter who can make a small cabinet that would match. It would be similar to a dart-board game style...

Or check with the manufacturer, see if they have a website, and perhaps you can special order the armoir. If you're willing to pay, there is always someone willing to sell.

Maybe, you'll just chance upon a matching article on ebay or Tuesday Morning that can be modified?

How Do You Remove Cigarette Smoke Smell From Furniture?

3 piece bedroom set
 on Palm 3-Piece Bedroom Set By Designs | Wayfair
3 piece bedroom set image



Rick B


I inherited a very nice bedroom set. But, the person who gave it to me was a heavy smoker. I would like to know what I can use to get ride of the smoke smell? Although I believe the outside of the pieces are sealed, the insides are not.
Just to clarify, this is all wood furniture, no upholstery is involved!



Answer
It's an Urban Legend that Febreze is hazardous to pets. Use it on upholstery only, not wood. Old news from 1998, so disregard that hazardous to pets thing all together - that is false. You can read about it on snopes, the urban legends reference page:
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/febreze.asp

Wood will absorb odors without a doubt, so the parts have been finished will need a good cleaning, maybe 3 good cleanings, to get the years of nicotine off. I would start with cleaning it with Murphy's Oil soap, the directions are right on the bottle. It smells good and is an excellent wood cleaner. You dilute it with water and it's very gentle stuff.

If any of the furniture is upholstered, you can have that professionally steam cleaned to get rid of the smell. The same people that clean carpets can come to your home and clean anything else that is upholstered, so you might want to call and ask them about it.

Over time the smell does fade, but you'll have to keep up with the Murphy's oil soap to keep the wood nice and clean. I used it on wood floors and furniture. Go ahead and try febreeze on upsholstery, but keep it off the wood.

Best of luck to you.

Looking for bedroom set / dining table, cheap but sturdy something that can last for about 2-3 years will do. Thanks in advance.


Answer
Well, I don't know what would be cheap for you yet sturdy...

I would like to say IKEA but there are just some items there that are not sturdy like bookshelves and some tables...some items was bought at IKEA.

What my parents did was just kept on hunting around any furniture shops. Until they found quite some pieces...and at a affordable price too.

i want to run away from home?

bedroom sets under 600 dollars
 on Children's - Furniture - Children's Range - Living room - Dolls House ...
bedroom sets under 600 dollars image



Jaqueline


Ok so long story short, my mom and dad want to kill me. I kniw it seems that i am trolling, but i am not. PLease hear me out! I came home from school, and heard my mom and dad in the bedroom saying that they wanted to kill me, my older sister, and 2 younger brothers. All i heard was,
OK so when will we do this?
Ummmmmm... next week will be sufficient. It will give us enough time to cover ourselves. The plastic gloves that i ordered are on their way. The chloroform and weapon are ready to go.
I didnt hear this part....
So will we be killing all four if them?
Yes
Which should we kill first?
Jameson.(hes my younger brother who is 5) He wont question anything. Then Jaxon. He wont question anything either. Then Jaqueline and Jillian. Well get them in their sleep.
I ran out and went to my bathroom. I started to cry and totally melt down. I told my sister, and suggested hat we run away. I said i would ask what you people think. So i did. My sister has about 600 dollars in her wallet, and a whole bunch of gift cards to walmart and walgreens. I have abot 250 dollars, and my brother Jaxon (9) has about 200 saved up from selling things at his school. And Jameson has about 50. We all have an assundry of gift cards and coupons. I am soooo scared!
Me and Jill have planned a bit. We all bring a big bag, suitcase, and back pack. We would pack bags of cereal, tge 40 oz bags, a bunch of water bottles that we could refill at public stations. All that, along with other various food like granola bars would go in each big bag of ours. We would pack essentials like an extra set of clothes or 3, pads/tampons, toothe brush, tooth paste, brush and flossers. I would also pack educational books so we can "keep up" i guess. That stuff would go in the backpacks, we have pretty big back packs. In the suitcase, we would pack thick quilts and blankets. We would layer clothing, for the girls: 2 cup bras, 3 camis, an under aromor shirt, longsleeve shirt, short sleeve shirt, a vest, 2 sweatshirts, both columbia, and a heavy jacket. For the boys, 3 muscle shirts, a long sleeve, a short sleeve, 3 sweatshirts of different sizes, and a heavy jacket. I feel we could really do this. I also feel that if we dont get out of here, we might die. Dont ask me to call tge police, cuz i wont. Please dont say we are foolish and childish. My sister is 18 by the way, I am fifteen, and my brothers are 9 and five. My parents have also been acting very coldly towards us lately, and not coming home till we are in bed and asleep. Please give me/us advice!



Answer
Don't forget to pack clean underwear and happy trails to you and your siblings.

I am so stressed out about having bed bugs 2 months ago?

Q. Two months ago I found out we had bed bugs. I was getting bit for some time but never could find anything. I have come to the conclusion it came from the Uhaul we used to transport our box spring. We spent 600 dollars (including the encasements) to get rid of them. The box spring encasement ended up ripping and I started seeing them again! So they came out and treated. Since then we threw the box spring out. We are pitching the rest of our furniture in our bedroom as well. This has traumatized me. From packing up everything and washing it all to just emotionally being scarred. I am pregnant as well so you can only imagine. We are moving and I am afraid we still have them even though I have not seen them. I set a homemade trap under my sons crib to see if any are there. What else do you suggest. What are your stories? Did the exterminations work? Did you throw anything out? Anything would be helpful!


Answer
With bed bugs you must find the source of the infestation and start treating it immediately as it will only get worse. It is likely your infestation is coming from your mattress or bed area. Remember bed bugs like to live close to the human host so they can easily feed at night.

How do I get rid of headaches from looking at the computer screen all day?

bedroom sets 7 piece image



Leesa H


I have a new job where I'm staring at the computer for about 7+ hours. I'm experiencing severe headaches from this in the evenings and am wondering what can be done to help with this.


Answer
i work I.T. for the federal government so i had this problem alot when i started. but heres what i can advise.

if you have access to natural light(a skylight or window) open it and let it in, not only will the fresh air help you feel better but the natural light is less painful than the florescent.

turn the brightness down on your monitor a tad, most of the time its set at the maximum but it can actually be around half that and still be quite usable. this really helps if your office(or bedroom, or whatever) has dim lighting.

take a break. i know this sounds silly, but it really does help, every hour or so take a 10 min. break, if you don't have time for that, take a 5 min break. grab some coffee, or a snack.this really will help the most, even just taking 30 seconds to read a poster or a piece of paper gives your eyes a bit of time to relax. this helps alot if you eyes water when you close them or look away from the screen.

adjust the text size on your computer. even a 10% change lets your eyes focus on something large, making you squint less.

drink more water. i know this sounds unrelated but keeping hydrated helps get rid of alot of headaches, yours may not only be from the computer, but from dehydration as you sit there for hours on end.

and best of luck with the new job, dont be afraid to talk to your boss about it, if he has the same sort of job he'l understand completely.

also most states have guidelines and laws about worker protection, find a copy for your state and take a look,

What was Obermann's Ratings...?

...in bed. Not very good she says.

KEITH GETS LOW RATINGS IN BED

October 9, 2006 -- A BROWN-haired beauty who claims she had an unsatisfying one-night stand with Keith Olbermann is getting her sweet revenge - she's launched a blog to warn other women about the acerbic MSNBC commentator's boorish bedroom habits.

The bitter babe, who calls herself KarmaBites1, says she doesn't want others "to fall into the same trap . . . and I want him to feel some remorse for what he's done . . . He sets his mind on a woman, lures her in, and once he gets what he wants, he refuses to ever speak to them again. And I don't think he understands the damage he's caused."

A 30-something office worker of Caribbean descent, KarmaBites1 said she struck up an e-mail friendship with Olbermann, whom she admired, and agreed to fly to New York to meet him last May. She says he came to her hotel room and opened a bottle of Merlot which he "spilled all over." Then, when "sexual activity began [in] less than an hour," Olbermann had difficulty. "I pretended he knew what he was doing," the embittered blogger writes. "I adored the guy. I didn't want him to think he was a dud in bed," so she faked experiencing ecstasy.

Next, he piled on excuses as to why he had to leave. "He told me he's an insomniac and that it's hard for him not to sleep in his own bed. He also mentioned he hadn't had 'company' in a while. [He said] he had an early meeting with the Yankees [and] he might be allergic to the pillows in the hotel bed."

Six days later, she claims, Olbermann e-mailed her to tell her never to contact him again. "I practically begged him to explain what I did wrong. I told him I deserved some kind of explanation for such a dismissal, but I never heard from him again." She said she's since heard from six other women who say they had brief sexual relationships with Olbermann.

She named her blog forthisreliefmuchthanks.blogspot.com, after a line from "Hamlet" she says the perennial bachelor quoted.

Olbermann's spokeswoman said she'd get back to us, but didn't.

I like books with action, romance, and I like it to be about people close to my age which is 14. I also don't feel like reading a book that is too realistic. I have already read twilight, harry potter, the clique, maximum ride, unfortunate events series, the luxe, and I think that's it. So what are some books that are really good for you? oh yeah, I don't want any vampire series recommendations, I have read too much about vampires!


Answer
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: Set in the future in a country that requires two kids from each of its twelve districts to be sent into an arena to compete in the Hunger Games. To lose is to die and there can be only one winner. Katniss volunteers to go in place of her younger sister with no hope of ever coming home. A very suspenseful, deep, thought-provoking story.

Peeps by Scott Westerfeld: a vampire story, but not. Vampirism in this book is an STD that turns you into a flesh-eating beast.

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray: Gemma is sent to a boarding school after her mother's death where she learns about a very dark and dangerous power that she has.

Beastly by Alex Flinn: a modern day Beauty and the Best with a twist.

The Mediator by Meg Cabot: Suze is a girl who can see ghosts and consequently falls in love with the very hot one living in her bedroom. Hilarious and sarcastic at the same time as being dark.

Sucks to be Me by Kimberly Pauley: When sixteen-year-old Mina is forced to take a class to help her decide whether or not to become a vampire like her parents, she also faces a choice between her life-long best friend and the boy she has a crush on versus new friends and possible boyfriends in her mandatory "vampire lessons."

You Are So Undead to Me by Stacie Jay: Megan Berry, a Carol, Arkansas, high school student who can communicate with the Undead, must team up with her childhood friend Ethan to save homecoming from an army of flesh-hungry zombies.

Thicker than Water by Karla Jablonski:Coping with her mother's cancer makes seventeen-year-old Kia feel out of place everywhere until she is drawn into the goth-vampire club scene, where she finds acceptance and one gorgeous, popular guy who might offer escape.

Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantasky:Seventeen-year-old Jessica, adopted and raised in Pennsylvania, learns that she is descended from a royal line of Romanian vampires and that she is betrothed to a vampire prince, who poses as a foreign exchange student while courting her.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld:In Tally's world, a 16th birthday brings an operation, transforming one from a repellent Ugly to an attractive Pretty. Turning Pretty is all Tally has ever wanted. Her friend Shay would rather risk life on the outside. When Shay runs away, Tally must make a terrible choice.

Bloodline by Kate Cary: It's been 35 years since the demise of Dracula. When 19-year-old John Shaw returns from fighting in World War I, he is haunted by nightmares--not only of the ravages of war, but of the brutal, almost superhuman feats of his commander, Quincey Harker.

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryans:In Mary's world there are simple truths. The Sisterhood always knows best, and the fence that protects her village from the Forest of Hands and Teeth must remain intact. After fence is breached, Mary's world is thrown into chaos, and she must choose between her village and her future.

Unwind by Neal Susterman: In a future world where those between the ages of thirteen and eighteen can have their lives "unwound" and their body parts harvested for use by others, three teens go to extreme lengths to uphold their beliefs--and, perhaps, save their own lives.

The Pact by Jodi Picoult: Until the phone calls came at 3:00 A.M. on a November morning, the Golds and their neighbors, the Hartes, had been inseparable. It was no surprise to anyone when their teenage children, Chris and Emily, began showing signs that their relationship was moving beyond that of lifelong friends. But now seventeen-year-old Emily has been shot to death by her beloved and devoted Chris as part of an apparent suicide pact -- leaving two devastated families stranded in the dark and dense predawn, desperate for answers about an unthinkable act and the children they never really knew.

What Happened to Cass McBride by Gails Giles: After his younger brother commits suicide, Kyle Kirby decides to exact revenge on the person he holds responsible. Cass McBride has only a walkie talkie to save her when she is buried alive.

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher: When high school student Clay Jenkins receives a box in the mail containing thirteen cassette tapes recorded by his classmate Hannah, who committed suicide, he spends a bewildering and heartbreaking night crisscrossing their town, listening to Hannah's voice recounting the events leading up to her death

Maximum Ride by James Patterson: After the mutant Erasers abduct the youngest member of their group, the "birdkids," who are the result of genetic experimentation, take off in pursuit and find themselves struggling to understand their own origins and purpose.

Cirque Du Freak by Darren Shan: Darren Shan is an ordinary schoolboy who enjoys hanging out with his three best friends. Then one day they stumble across an invitation to visit the Cirque Du Freak, a mysterious freak show. As if by destiny, Darren wins a ticket, and what f

What are some good ideas to "stage" a home that is for sale?

80s bedroom set
 on 80s Actual: The
80s bedroom set image



Jade


I am packing everything personal up,cleaning and organizing but I need some simple and elegant ideas to "stage" the home so that it is more appealing to buyers.


Answer
1. Clean - it is the most important step. Make sure every nook and cranny of your home is spotless. This also includes cleaning out your garage if you have one.

2. De-clutter - Not only should you remove obvious clutter (like papers strewn on a desk) but you have to think about furniture as well. Too often people have too much furniture in a room. It makes the room appear small. If, for example, you are 2 dressers in your bedroom, pare it down to one. Put the other dresser and contents not used currently (season clothing) into storage.

An often missed area for decluttering,is the inside of dressers, cabinets, and closets. Hard to believe that some buyers would look in your dressers since they are not buying them but they do. They are also trying to assess if they will have enough cabinet storage and closet space. If your cabinets are chock full of stuff, it gives them the impression that they will not have enough storage if they buy the house.

In the kitchen, don't forget that decluttering also means clearing off countertops as much as possible. If you don't eat toast everyday, pack the toaster away. Same goes for other kitchen appliances that we may keep on the counter for convenience even though we don't use them daily. (Pack away that electric can opener and use a hand held one until you sell the house.)

3. Deodorize - Make sure your house smells fresh, clean and inviting. This may mean spraying Febreeze on your sofa, drapes, etc. You can add pleasant odors with candles and/or fresh baked goods.

4. De-personalize - Pack away personal items like family photos. Replace them with neutral art work. You want prospective buyers to see themselves living in your home, not your family.

5. Neutralize - It may be time to paint that gorgeous red wall beige. Though it may go well with your decor and taste, remember that not all buyers make like what you've selected. If you go with neutral wall colors, again it makes it easier for the potential buyer to see him/herself living in your space. This also includes rooms that are very masculine or feminine. It may work better for you if you replace your beautiful floral bedspread with something that is more gender neutral.

6. Update/Modernize - You don't have to spend a lot of money here but you should look at things like lighting. Are your bathroom lights for example current looking or do they scream 1970s-80s? Same goes for kitchen, dining and hallways. For a few bucks, you can make a huge impact for the positive.

7. Curb Appeal - Don't forget that a lot of buyers will not come into your home, no matter how great it looks on the inside, if they are not impressed with the exterior. Again, this can be accomplished on the cheap. Cut the lawn, pull the weeds, remove dead plants, plant pretty potted flowers and put them on the porch, paint the front door if necessary.

How dated are your exterior light fixtures? Again, something newer but not necessarily expensive could make a world of difference.

Buy a nice new welcome mat to invite the guests in.

If you have a deck or patio, don't forget to embellish this usable square footage of your home. Clean the deck or patio, remove what is not necessarily essential (perhaps the grill if it is not in outstanding condition, or cheap plastic chairs). Stage the area so that it is inviting - you can purchase inexpensive patio furniture, or if the area is small, you can get a nice cheap bistro set for under $100.


8. Choose Real over Fake - If you have any silk or plastic flowers/trees, remove them from the house. If you love them, pack them away. Put real plants/trees in their place. Put fresh flowers out as that not only is beautiful but it helps with odor control.

Have fun with the project. Look at it as an opportunity to get a head start on packing. Just remember that it is called "staging" because it is all an act. That is, it is not how you live day to day (you probably don't keep your dining table set for a party of 6 unless you are actually planning on using it that day but setting it for an open house sets the stage for how the potential buyer can entertain in the home.) Best of Luck.

what should I price this furniture for?




Anonymous


My husband has an old furniture set (chest, dresser, mirror and headboard) from the 80s. It served as our furniture when we got married and for baby furniture for both of our kids when they were little. It's sturdy, but very dated. What should I price it for?
I'd like to just give it away, but my husband insists it should be sold. I think he's being unrealistic, but I've never sold furniture before.

Any hints on what you've paid for an out-of-style yet very sturdy and well built set of bedroom furniture?



Answer
If you're in no hurry to sell it:

I'd suggest getting a few good photos and placing it on craigslist, maybe $100 per piece if in good condition ($400-500 total?).

If you don't get a response after one week, close down the ad and put up another one for $50 less.

Continue until you start receiving inquiries :)

How much a discount I should get if any?

bedroom set armoire
 on Bedroom Collection Sets With Wardrobe Armoire | Interior Decorating
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.

What color should I paint my bedroom wall?

bedroom set cherry image



woohoo


I have a light cherry bedroom set. The comforter has a garnet base with golds and darker reds. I have wood floors. And my wall decor is mostly reds and golds as well. Right now I have a marigold yellow color but I'm starting to realize that was the wrong choice! What would better suit this room and make it more calmer?


Answer
play around with the Sherwin Williams color visualizer to help you imagine how the colors will look together. It is the best paint visualizer on the web, imho. I like how their color palette is laid out, I like that you can search by color family & color name, the "painted" rooms look the most realistic, and it suggests coordinating color schemes. You can literally spend hours:
http://www.sherwin.com/visualizer/

I think "threshold taupe" (# 7501) might be a good choice.

You can take a photo of your house & upload it to the makeover gallery on this website:
http://www.roomvues.com/
You can get color suggestions & for $5 they'll photoshop them onto your room so that you can get an idea of what it will look like.

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.

How much might it cost to rent a bedroom set?

storage bedroom set queen image



jc norwood


I'll be staying in this place for 7 months, but then I'm leaving to study abroad in Spain and I don't want to have to pay the storage fees after I leave.
All I need is maybe a queen sized bed, a dresser, and a nightstand. Nothing too fancy.
But then of course when I come back I'll need more furniture too, so should I go ahead and buy some cheap furniture and just pay the storage costs?



Answer
how long will you be gone untill you come back. check storage prices i don't think storage is cheap.

Where can i find teen bedroom accessories?

Q. Good websites to find comforters, night stands, dressers, desks, vanity, lounge chairs, throw pillows, blankets, rungs, lamps, string lights, wall decorations, storage, picture frames, mirrors, decorative cork boards and magnetic dry erase boards, desk accessories? I want to do a zebra and hot pink theme and Im trying to find accessories to match.. Please help! I've already looked at PBteen.com and wakeupfrankie.com, but they're a little pricey... Any othe websites?


Answer
I'm assuming you've already bought bedding, if not, maybe something like this:

http://www.beyond-bedding.com/hot-pink-zebra-print-full-queen-teens-kids-bedding-set.html

For furniture, try ikea.com - it will be inexpensive and you'll be able to get the night stands, dressers, and desks there. I'd go with either white or black furniture to complement the bedding.
You can also try walmart and target if you are concerned with price.

Wall decorations- The bedding set shows wall hangings which can be purchased at the same site as the bedding (beyond-bedding). In addition, you can buy decorative throw pillows, windows treatments, Funky Zebra Fabric Memory/Memo Photo Bulletin Board, and even lamp shades

Frames - Buy these anywhere. You can get these very cheaply. I'd suggest a $1 can of spray paint so you can change the color of the frames for a customized look (I'd spray a few black, a few white and perhaps a few hot pink - though you could easily paint a zebra design - cheap and easy)

Mirrors - Again, buy the cheapest mirror you can find and custom paint it (Walmart or other discount store). If you must have a zebra print mirror, check this one out:

http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=zebra+mirror&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=8249285435254738615&ei=pIckTc7QL8T48Aayo8CGAg&sa=X&oi=product_catalog_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDgQ8wIwAw#


Rug - Walmart has several different style choices. Like this one:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Home-Dynamix-Zone-7160-Zebra-Print-Rug/12087183?findingMethod=rr

Blanket/Throw: Again, walmart has a cheap solution that comes in several colors

http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_query=zebra+throw&ic=48_0&Find=Find&search_constraint=4044

As far as accessorizing goes, keep in mind that a little zebra goes a long way. If you have zebra print bedding, you may want to consider solids for the lounge chair and/or throw and accent pillows. I'd pick up a lot of solids for accessories (black or white vase maybe with hot pink flowers) again, solid colored picture frames. Walmart also sells cork boards. You can paint these or cover them in a zebra fabric (or complementary fabric) and embellish it with grosgrain hot pink ribbon.

Please remember that a cheap can of spray paint can help you achieve the look you are after. Best of Luck.

What color furniture should I get? Should I paint my room?

bedroom set natural wood
 on Bedroom Sets : Classic Style Bedroom Set in Natural Wood Finish ...
bedroom set natural wood image



hi


I'm getting a hardwood floor in my bedroom. It has a natural oak finish. My walls are white with an oak baseboard.

Question 1: What color furniture?
I can't decide between getting a maple wood bedroom set, or a plain white one. I think the maple would have a nice contrast with my floor and baseboard, but white goes with anything, and is what I originally wanted.
Maple: http://www.wendyusa.com/52capt-4c-nm.html
White: http://www.wendyusa.com/52capt-4c-whf.html


Question 2: Should I paint my room?
As of now, my room is white. I don't like it though, because my friends put their hands all over the walls and now they look dirty. Multiple attempts of cleaning the walls have failed. My white walls look so dirty. I was thinking about either repainting white, or just changing the color. I had wanted to change the color, but I'm not sure what colors would go well with the new floor. I was hoping for a pastel blue, green, or a dusty pink - would that still work?

Mixing pine wood and black painted bedroom furniture?




lattemom


Does anyone have a photo of a bedroom set where the dresser/nightstand is pine and the headboard is painted black?


Answer
If you have a black headboard then you might want to add some black highlights to the dresser and nightstands to blend them together...paint the body of the dresser and nightstands black leaving the drawer fronts and tops the natural pine and add some great black iron hardware. It will look great with the headboard.

How much should three people in a house make yearly?




Robert


Me and two buddies of mine decided that because how poor the economy is, and since we have been best friends for years, living together would be a good idea. How much would we need to make in order to have:
Electricity
Gas
Cable
Internet
Smart phone plans
Rent for a three bedroom house or apartment
Gas usage
Maybe 500 dollars extra cash or so.
Anything I missed?
Anyways. How much should all three of us combined make per year?



Answer
You are smart to ask these questions before you move in together. However, the answer to your question depends a great deal on what part of the country in which you live. California is much higher than say Missouri. Is it rural or urban? Chicago is much higher than say Bloomfield, IL. These will make a huge difference.

Ask friends or neighbors about the utilities. Check your local paper for rent prices.

One point I'd like to advise, the cost of moving in together could be your friendship. Be prepared that living together is an entirely different culture than just being friends. Set out your expectations regarding the "house rules" before you make the move.

Jon


Alright, I'm a college student looking to furnish my bedroom in my apartment. I'm looking to do an Eastern theme to my room, and i need y'all to tell me if this comforter looks too girly. Like if you saw this comforter in some guy's apartment, what would be your first thoughts about him. Stuff like that. Also I wouldn't keep some of the pillows. Some are just too excessive for me. Here is the link.
http://www.touchofclass.com/product/bed+&+bath/comforters/patterned+comforters/twilight+comforter+set.do



Answer
The color is not girly, the pattern sort of is neutral but yet it is acceptable. You could always throw some other deeper colored pillows, blanket or things in with it that would give it more of a man edge if you wanted. Maybe say a 49ers blanket that has the same type colors. Just an idea starter.

I think it is a good medium choice with it being not too girly and not too manly.

How do I know you are a fan?




georgia_pe


How would someone know what your team is?
Would it be by the clothes that you wear (jerseys, t-shirts, jackets,hats,etc..)? Would it be by your car (team flag(s), bumper stickers(s), car magnet(s)?
Would it be your house, or something else?
Maybe my question is not clear. I guess what I mean to ask is How do you show your team spirit (your clothes, your car is decked out, your house, or something else)?
How do YOU show your team spirt with your favorite football team?!
Lil' Bear knows what I am talking about. I am not asking you how I can show that I am a big fan - I am asking how YOU (literally) show that YOU are a big fan!!



Answer
I live in Michigan and I'm a 49ers fan. My house is the number one clue; with the walls proudly covered in paraphernalia throughout the house (ranging from autographed plaques, framed jerseys, pennants, team pictures and even a 49ers puzzle that I glued together, framed, and hanged on the wall), the shelves covered with 49ers knick-knacks put proudly on display (including 49ers helmets, poker chips, fishing lures, bouncy balls, player figurines, player big heads, tins, miniature mugs, full size footballs, collectable footballs, framed photos of individual players and anything else that you can find with a 49ers logo slapped on it), the closets (stocked full of 49ers jerseys of players past and present, winter coats, leather jackets, spring jackets and even a craftily created pair of customized shoes), the REC room where we watch the game on NFL Sunday Ticket which I've purchased for the sole purpose of watching every 49ers game (with the 49ers logo pool table, 49ers logo recliners, the 49ers logo indoor/outdoor grill), the kitchen (decorated nicely with 49ers hot pads, 49ers dish towels, 49ers throw rug and 49ers plates, cups and bowls), the bathroom (with 49ers bath mat, 49ers rugs, 49ers toilet seat cover and a 49ers shower curtain) and finally the spare bedroom (with the full blown 49ers bed spread: sheets, blanket, comforter and pillow cases. The hanging wall clock, the 49ers helmet piggy bank, the 49ers light switch cover, the 49ers team color paint scheme, the 49ers bean bag and the classic Jerry Rice "fat head". To top all this off, I have team sets of 49ers football cards, gold coins and other items of value that I keep stored away out of view and several DVD/book collections of 49ers history. The wife did ask for one room in the house, so our bedroom and master bath is 49ers proof...

How much money do i need saved up to rent my fist apartment?

bedroom set nyc

bedroom set nyc image



April


I am a college student and I want to start saving money so that once I have graduated and get a job I can move into my first apartment. the only furniture I have is what's in my bedroom: bed, dresser, book shelf, desk, etc. I just need an estimated amount the least I would spend and the most. I live in Arizona.


Answer
Depends on where you live; your job may be in another state.
Do some research on the area where you will be living; www.rent.com can give you some idea about rental prices.

You will need at least first and last month's rent, plus a security deposit which will normally be equal to or more than the monthly rent.
If you have never had utilities in your name and they are not included in the apartment, plan on $25-100 per utility company as a security deposit.

Several thousand dollars for furniture, kitchen items, paper goods, cleaning products, towels, sheets, pillows.

So let's say you find an apartment for $900 per month (this assumes you will not be in NYC or LA, which would be much higher).
First and last month's rent $1800
Security deposit (guesstimate) $1000
Utility deposits =< $100
Furniture (conservatively) $2000
Kitchen utensils, dishes $500
Sheets, towels $200
Paper goods, cleaning products $100
Food, staples, etc. $200

TOTAL $5900

This is a very basic estimate.

Even if you a renting: GET INSURANCE!!!
Renter's insurance is very cheap, about $15 per month.

Have some money set aside to carry you over until you get your first paycheck.

You will also need to pay your cell phone bill.

Gas, car insurance, car maintenance, car payment if you have one, or money for public transportation if no car.

If you will be going off your parent's health insurance, plan on $50 or so a month for that, unless your employer provides it.

You should have extra money stashed for emergencies, like car repairs, illness.

Bottom line: several thousand.
Good luck! Hope your first job pays well.

How much money do you need to make monthly to rent an apartment?




Paige


I'm thinking about getting a three bedroom apartment with 2 other roommates. I've set a monthly rent limit of $900, so each roommate is responsible for a third of the rent.


Answer
Total monthly income must be 3 times the rent. Thus 900 means income of 2700
In NYC it is 4 times thus 900 means income of 3600

It will have very light taupe (cashew) berber carpet, antiqued oak laminate bedroom set, quite light, I put on silver knobs as I like modern very much. I have a neutral comfortor which I would like to get rid of. I really like this light green, but don't know if it will match, and what other colors would go with it. Please help.


Answer
I love that new kind of like a sea foam or mint with dark brown. That is what I want to paint my room at least. I would go with maybe a taupe a couple of shades darker than your carpet that way you can get a neutral bed set and add color with throw pillows. Much cheaper to change pillows than room color.

a rich red/orange wall accent with a nice earth tone brown will go nice on the walls to accent the furniture and beddings ... try imaging the walls in two tone colors.
