Who is better, Aaron's or Rent a Center?

Lee

I am moving into a new apartment soon and I need to get a bedroom set. I simply don't have enough money to buy one outright so rent to own seems to be my best option.

So who will likely offer me the best deal on a bedroom set? Aaron's or Rent a Center? By best deal I mean, better overall price on the items I get from them.

Also, according to a manager at Aaron's, if I make payments on anything longer than 180 days they will report it to the credit bureau and this will build my credit. Is that true? Does Rent a Center do something similar?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
NOODLE: I Believe you don't know what you are talking about...

Answer
Don't know about rent a center reporting to the credit bureaus but I know for a fact that Aaron's doe's because I have seen them listed on tons of reports over the last 11-years.

Do some comparison shopping and get the best deal.

Good luck.

Anyone know about renting to own..e.g ColorTyme?

Profile De

Im about to move into a house and I need a bedroom set table with chairs and couch...I was wondering if anyone knew how much it would cost me and how often payments had to be made to a rent to own place?

Answer
Rent-to-own for furniture or appliances is a loser's game. Don't waste your money that way.

Buy used to start out, dirt cheap used if that's all you have money for. Then you'll be able to save up and replace them later, and save a lot of money in the long run.

bedroom decorating ideas???

Ginger L

does anyone think that zebra print and light blue would go together? like, light blue walls and a few zebra print accents, like throw pillows and a lamp shade or something like that?? maybe a light blue and zebra print curtain?? just wondering if you think those colors would look good together. if anyone has any other bedroom decorating ideas, let me know. thanks.

Answer
i going to go with you on this idea. choose a bold light blue. black furniture, with zebra accents. you're going to have to be really careful, if you bring in too many extra colors or clutter, the look isn't going to work. but i think it sounds fabulous

bedroom decorating.?

Q. im moving my room upstairs, and i am doing it a rock n roll theme . i am 16. and i was wondering if any of you had any good ideas or good websites i could go to. i was more late 70, and 80, 90s and modern rock , nothing to old. any good paint suggestions?no black please, parents would never allow that. and and decorating advice. anything, just tell me, most helpful one gets best anwser.(Duh)

Answer
Hi, rock n roll theme also means maybe you want a place to hang out, lounge, not just a place to sleep? Ikea and PB Teen both have that type of furniture, and pages of pictures on their websites for ideas. PB Teen is kind of theme-ish and most of the looks might be too young for a 16 year old- but you can definitely find some good things, try the dorm section.

Ikea has a couple of beds that would help with a lounge look- you could either do a loft bed with a sofa underneath, or a bed with the long end against the wall to make a sofa. I'd go with floor pillows, a low lounge table, with a shag or flokati rug under it. A greyish blue would look good on the walls- I think you almost have to do some black to make it rock n roll- maybe you could get away with a black&white rug, or something like that. Pics/ old posters (of album covers, concert ads) are cheap online & would look good- buy like 10 of the same frame (plain black would look great), and hang them all around.

Residents of San Antonio, TX, inform me please!?

Holla Holl

I've decided on moving to Texas next year! I'm willing to consider anywhere within 20 miles of Downtown SA. I think SA has a lot of its own recreational and cultural amenities as any large city should, and it's oh so close to Austin.

Fort Worth is the other Texas city I'm considering. I can't afford Austin or Dallas. And, long story short, circumstances won't permit me to consider Houston.

How much does it cost to live in FW and SA? For example, how much is my apartment going to cost? Then, the water bill? Electricity? Natural gas? Water/sewer?

I've heard electricity is outrageously expensive, however there is apparently more competition in the Texas market thanks to deregulation.

Which of these cities would you recommend, and why? (Please figure in more than economics!)

I appreciate any and all help in advance!

God Bless TEXAS; I've been looking forward to this move for years!
I apologize for a couple little weird statements here, this is a copy of another question I asked.

What I should've asked is would you recommend SA, and why?

Answer
As far as apartments, it depends where you live. I pay around $500 on my home a month and I own it. It is on a low interest rate and currently valued at $180,000. I pay taxes and insurance also, so after this is all said and done I pay $800 a month. But, I have lived here awhile now. My son lives in a 2 bedroom apartment with his friend and pays $700 a month. Of course he doesn't pay water and he doesn't have to mow or take other homeowner responsibilities. Water is very reasonable about $15 a month, but you also have sewage and garbage fees. If you live in an apartment, most don't make you pay water. Electricity depends on you. If you keep it set around 78 degrees, you are not going to have really high bills, but for every degree less in summer it is about 7% more per month. In the winter, we rarely use heat, so the bills are very low.

I have said it before anything North of 1604 is considered the best real estate and the lowest crime rate. From 1604 to 410, it depends on your area. Anything inside the loop to 410 is iffy unless you are in the Alamo Heights or Castle Hills areas.

It is a beautiful , historic city with lovely people who are very friendly everywhere you go. Good luck on your search and be safe with your move.

room paint?

Jaleana Fa

ok so ill be painting my room in a few days and want to paint it blue or green , but i want a shade thats not to dark like BOOM! but a shade thats light , not to overwhelming , seafoam greens nice ....colors like that . (for bedroom )

Answer
Hi - I've just looked at Seafoam Green on Benjamin Moore's website and I think this is a lovely colour. But, before you choose you should really be picking out your bedding. But, as you really like this colour - I will try to give you some advice of what other colour will go with the Seafoam, obviously you do not want everything in your room this colour.

So, one of the colours I will choose for you is Coral - say for your bedding - have a look at these pictures and see how coral can work with the seafoam :)

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=seafoam+green+and+coral&es_sm=93&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=OORXU6TbMayp7AbH3YEw&ved=0CC0QsAQ&biw=1242&bih=585

Are you having all your walls in the seafoam or just one feature wall? Personally, I think it would look nice if you did have a darker green for your feature wall and because you like seafoam so much - this can be on all your other walls. Perhaps something the same or similar to this?

http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/emeraldisle

Bedding -this set would look nice in your room and you could either keep the grey sheets and pillowcases or see if you could get them in seafoam, but I think the grey looks nice and will bring another dimension to your room. Although, I would say to you that the bed could be 'finished' off by placing some cushions on it in your seafoam colour and the darker green I have given you above - this will 'tie-in' the colour scheme.

I also like the grey lampshade at the side of the bed - if you keep the grey sheets :)

http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/1/1/143542-carina-6-piece-twin-xl-complete-comforter-set.html

This set would also look nice, but, like above, if you get the white sheets with it - then use this also, say, on one cushion for the bed with say, a couple of seafoam coloured cushions.

http://www.pbteen.com/shop/new/girls-bedroom-furniture/envsb-hampton-lucy-bedroom/?

Art - perhaps you might like these to put on your walls - they would look really nice :)

http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/156486251/coral-seafoam-green-khaki-floral-vintage?ref=sr_gallery_4&ga_search_query=coral+seafoam&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

You could also perhaps do your own DIY art - by buying some remnants of fabric in the colours of your room or perhaps purchase one or two pillowcases extra the same as your bedding and use this for the fabric and then you will need some artists blank canvases and cover them with the fabric. Some plain and patterned fabrics would look nice and perhaps some different sizes of canvas. Cut the fabric with enough to go all around to the back of the canvas and just staple the fabric in place.

Keep them grouped together not one on one wall and one on another - you need to make a statement and they will look better if they are in a group. Have a look here and imagine with your own fabric what they could look like :)

http://itswrittenonthewalls.blogspot.ie/2011/08/diy-wall-art-scrapbook-paper-styrofoam.html

These might be handy for you to put some bits and bats in i.e. jewellrey, pens etc.

http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/99026077/mason-pint-jars-set-of-3-in-coral-ocean?ref=sr_gallery_20&ga_search_query=coral+seafoam&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

Other items for your room :) I thought this would perhaps look nice either on the wall or on your bedroom door. You could perhaps make this yourself :)

http://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/181416595/burlap-wreath-with-coral-and-seafoam?ref=sr_gallery_42&ga_search_query=coral+seafoam&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery

Curtains - I would suggest in coral too - this coral fabric is very pretty with the birds on it and if your mum can sew perhaps she could make you a pair?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ashley-Wilde-Bramber-Designer-Curtain-Upholstery-Designer-Fabric-8-99-/190822561145

These look very pretty too :)

http://www.houzz.com/photos/4379642/Sheer-Linen-Window-Panel--Coral-Rose-contemporary-curtains-

The ones in the link below look really nice and would go with BP Teen duvet, but they are very pricey :(

We are only allowed to put 10 links on this part of the answer - so the other links I have to put below.

The frames in the picture below - perhaps you could even pick up something like these to put on your walls from a thrift shop and paint them coral? The coral photo frame is nice too.

Also, have a look at the assortment of coral frames there are - see link below :)

Anyway, hope you like the coral colour to go with your seafoam. And... perhaps also you might like the coral as a feature wall instead of the darker green I chose above, but both would look really nice. Good Luck with your room and have fun :)

If Bed Bath Beyond, Target and Walmart don't have it it's not to be found. There isn't a ton of selection in college bedding so you can't be too picky. Try black and white bedding with a colored sheet or a colored bedding with black/white sheets.

It's totally fine to be excited about decorating your dorm room. My college bedding was the first bedroom set I had that was new and matched. There's nothing wrong with wanting things to look nice as long as you don't spend a ton on it. Bedding isn't cheap.

A bed similar to this:
http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/uimages/ny/10-15-mirror-bed.jpg
and the matching dresser and nightstands possibly to go with it :)
or any ideas on how to DIY?

Answer
I have seen pieces at the BOMBAY FURNITURE STORE, but not a set only pieces such as end tables, vanities, I like your idea and was looking for this similar look. I don't know if you can get a whole set for $1000.

You can do it yourself if you are very talented....It is very difficult and time consuming....and more expensive than if you purchased. Your original furniture must have clean and straight lines. Your selection of mirrors can easily be purchased and sized at any glaciers business. again very expensive.
I am crafty but I believe this is a big and costly job......wish you luck....

bedroom ideas for a teen?

jazmine

im 14 and redoing my room and need some ideas. any??

Answer
When decorating a bedroom your bed should be the focal point of the room and use your bedding to choose the colors for your room. If you're getting a new bedspread/comforter buy it first, then choose a specific color in your bedding and paint the walls a light shade of that color.
To make your room look neat, brighter and appear larger arrange your room in separate areas with lighting for each area, light cool colored walls coordinating colors in bedding, artwork and accents. Let in as much natural light as possible.
Center your bed with the headboard against a large wall or between two windows with a nightstand and lamp or hanging lantern, place your entertainment unit or dresser on the opposite wall across from the footboard, (unless it blocks a window) if you have two dressers place them on adjoining walls close together, put your desk under a window or in a far corner, a mirrored vanity table and chair on the other side of the room, if your friends come over to hang out and your room is big enough, set up a gaming area with gaming unit, tv, and a small table (or entertainment unit or armoire) with a couple of bean bags or low chairs.
Make sure furniture doesn't block opening doors or pathways.
http://asianideas.com/lanterns2.html <scroll down
When decorating, group framed photos or nature pics, a large colorful painting or poster on a spacious wall, hang a mirror so it reflects the outdoors or lean a full length mirror against a wall, display collectibles/figurines on shelves, hang candle wall sconces and place candles in different sizes/colors, a leafy potted plant or hanging plant in front of a window.
http://www.target.com/gp/search/187-0732701-7983810?field-keywords=set+candle+wall+sconces&url=index%3Dtarget&ref=sr_bx_1_1&x=0&y=0

On your desk use a jar or glass for pens/pencils and markers, stack game disks/cd's, throw away scrap paper and store papers you want to keep in a plastic bin, be sure you have a wastebasket and hamper, go through your closet and dresser, any clothes that are faded, torn, don't fit or wear throw away or donate, fold, hang and arrange neatly, put clothes for winter and what you only wear occasionally to the back and use shelves and/or add a small storage unit to keep everything organized and clutter free.

You can make a pin board to hang above your desk.
Cut a large square or rectangle out of box cardboard, about the size of a cork board.
To make the hanger, punch two holes 1/2 inch apart 1 inch from the top in the center, thread the ends of a twisty tie (the paper covered wire used to close bread) thru the holes, twist at the back, make a loop and twist the ends.
Cut a piece of fabric 2 inches larger than the cardboard
(you could use an old shirt or sweater or a shirt with a cool design/fav band)
Lay cardboard on top of fabric and wrap to the back like a present and pin.
http://www.singermachines.co.uk/access_images/pins.jpg

A picture collage
Cut out any shape out of thin cardboard. (a cereal box works great)
Then make the hanger as above.
Use a glue stick or a small drop of glue for each pic, you can arrange the pics side by side or overlapping.
Or group framed pics.
Best to arrange on the floor with largest pic in the middle before hanging.
Or a multi-pic frame

Vacation to South Carolina ideas?

daisy

So I'm going to South Carolina on vacation. Most of the trip will be spent in Charleston and Myrtle Beach. What are some fun activities, places to see, restaurants to eat at, etc?

Answer
Myrtle Beach is a great place to vacation!!
Great time to visit, the weather is usually nice. Cool mornings & nights (light jackets or long sleeves). Sunny and warm (bathing suit temps) during the day.

Hotel prices range from nice/cheap to glamorous/expensive. There are houses for rentals, rv parks, state parks for camping and the prices for these are reasonable.

As far as attractions go...

Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede (dinner & show) $30
Alligator Adventure (Barefoot Landing) is great!! ($10/$15)
Ripley's Aquiriam ..well worth it ($15)
Alabama Theater (Barefoot Landing) $ depends on who's there
House of Blues (Barefoot Landing) $depends on who's showcasing
Ripley's Believe It or Not! (Ocean Blvd.) $ change depending on the season
The Bowery (Ocean Blvd) usually no cover
Great music/bar..starting point of country legends Alabama
There is an amusement park (small one) on Ocean Blvd. that's ok...the larger one (the Pavilion) they tore down last summer
Putt Putt golf..everywhere..prices vary, but most are 1 price and play all day
Water Amusement parks in Garden City, North Myrtle & King's Hwy. (moderately priced)
Legends (Impersonations) dinner show (Garden City) is cool.
Nascar Cafe, (You can race go-carts there too!!,Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe..(they just opened a Hard Rock Theme Park in June..it's similar to Six Flags)....near the Aquriaum
Myrles Inlet is crammed full of great restaraunts...
Casino Boats, Airplane/helicopter rides, Bungee jumping, boats & wave runners for rent...2 huge malls, lots of factory outlets for shopping.
Huntington Beach State Park has an old abondon castle you can roam around in ($3 fee for park entry)
BrookGreen Gardens (between Pawley's Island and Murrells Inlet) has beautiful gardens and unique (huge) statues to ck out.
Lots of great places to eat too.
They also have a live band & dancing on the pier at Garden City.
It's a great place, you won't be bored!!!

Charleston...does not have any "beach front" hotels. There are hotels on the river & over looking the harbor, but no beaches.
Isle of Palms & Sullivan's Island have beaches as they are both islands. They do have houses for rent and there are reasonably priced "condos" that they rent out. Isle of Palms has a "resort"..ie it's like a hotel, but each unit has a bedroom, kitchen, living room area & a bathroom. Each has a pull out couch & a set of bunk beds as well. They are very nice and beach front. Look up Island Realty for a reservation. Nice uncrowded beach, pool and a few nice restaurants within walking distance. The Windjammer has live music & is just a few doors down. (Far enough not to bother the guest staying nearby. Also close to grocery stores & a shopping complex. (Those are on the mainland just over the bridge..about 3 miles from the beach). The islands are located near Mt. Pleasent (just on the other side of the bridge from Charleston). You'll find plenty to do. From Patriot's Point (retired aircraft carrier), Fort Moultrie & Fort Sumter, Boone Hall Plantation (they filmed many movies here) to the old slave market to walking ghost tours. The Battery & Rainbow Row are beautiful. There is also an Aquarium & an Imax theater.

Edisto Island which is just out of Charleston does not have hotels , but has a complex similiar to the one at Isle of Palms. Beautiful beach, quiet, nice restaurants, 2 bars with live music on the weekends (kid friendly) golf course. There is also a State Park there that rents cabins, but book early. There is an interactive nature center (no admission) & a serpentarium (small fee but worth it).
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your vacation no matter where you stay. Hope this helped.

new 42" TV 720P or 1080P?? Costco anyone?

schooly G

We would like to get a new 42" TV for our Master Bedroom spending around 1,000. The Magnavox 42 - 1080P LCD on sale at costco looks tempting. Has anyone purchased it? I was also looking at their Philips 42 1366 x 768 or the Panasonic 1024 x 768. any advice would be appreciated. Any other places with good deals on tv's? Should we go with the 1080P?

Thanks

Answer
Overall, if you are wondering about 1080p vs. 720p, you should be safe with either. Most people cannot see the difference between the 2, and a lot of HD broadcast is actually 720p anyways. Costs all the same, though, I advise going 1080p.

If you are looking for a 42 inch LCD, you cannot go wrong with the offer Best Buy has going on a Westinghouse 1080p 42 inch LCD. You can get it for $989. The biggest advantage it has over some of the others is that it has 4 HDMI ports, which is amazing.

If you find a great deal on a 720p set, go for that, but given your price range, you can find a perfectly good 1080p set that will be more "futureproof".

Bought an LG 50" Plasma, have a question for best setting to put XBOX on?

Modman

Hey guys, we got this LG plasma at CostCo the other day, only 800$, 720P. We bought it as a nice bedroom TV. I also have an XBOX360 in there, just wondering if there's anyone with the same or similiar set up, and know which setting to put the xbox in? Thanks

Answer
Well being you bought a 720p HDTV, I'd say use the 720p setting, so 1280 x 720. Then there's no conversion going on really. The 720p TV would be getting a 720p signal.

But at the end of the day its YOUR viewing experience. So you can mess around with a few of the options and see if any of them look better/worse to you. Even if you're not using what the "experts" feel is right, if it looks better to you that's what matters.

ideas for my bedroom?

anonymo

I just painted my bedroom kind of a medium purple.
I have a beige rug . I like vintageishh stuff. My walls are covered with vinyl records..
I need ideas for a bedspread, and any other ideas you have.
Thank you
also, links would be nice.
i'm 14. (if that helps at all)

Answer
You might want something more 1950s retro since you have vinyl records on the walls. If you consider 1960s-70s retro, here is a cool bedding set:

http://www.lakeside.com/Peace-Bedding-Collection/details.asp?I=PSW&Ntt=bedspread&N=36&Nao=0&R=896018017PNA4

The colors would be good with the purple and beige.

Ideas for decorating my bedroom?

Loser

Hey! So it's the holidays and I was thinking about taking a day or so to redecorate and design my room.
I'm into 70s and 80s hard rock/metal - Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc and I'm also a fan of the 60's hippie era so so any ideas for a 70s/80s music theme or a 60s boho/hippie theme would be great. I'm allowed to do anything to my room except paint it so yeah.
Any ideas?
Also if it helps, my room is quite small so I can't bring in huge items of furniture unfortunately..
Thanks in advance :)

chic bedroom design ideas?

sandsurfsw

I want to re-do my room but I don't know what to do! This is my bedroom set-
http://www.furniturexo.com/Venecia-Bedroom-Set-Signature-Design-b195-SET-p-6793.html
but i'm only keeping my dresser (which isn't pictured) but it gives you an idea of what i'm working with. Everything is neutral (my carpet is beige shag) and so are the walls so I'm starting fresh. If anyone has any ideas of the paint scheme or theme, please let me know! also i'd like a inexpensive cute upholstered platform bed, if anyone knows a good store I could go to. Thanks :-)
& btw my room is approx. 12x15 so you can get a better idea of space issues.
on the link's main page it says it's discontinued -so click the small picture under that to view it.

Answer
Since your furniture and vanity are light colored wood, you should add some color in there. Choose your favorite color and incorporate it into an overall scheme with your comforter, throw rug and other decor. I say start small and you can add from there. You can try HGTV, DIY network for ideas but I like this one:

how did the hotel know we smoked in the room?

answermyqu

this may seem like a dumb questions, but I stayed in a hotel for 2 nights and both nights my boyfriend smoked in the room a few times, but he cracked the window and smoked by the window. to be honest, the room didn't smell like smoke whatsoever. I'm a non-smoker, so I would have been able to pick up on it. The thing is, we didn't set off the smoke alarm, and nobody like the maid or any workers came in our room. Then when I went to check out the lady at the desk said they were going to charge a 300 dollar fee for smoking in the room. how could they have known this? I mean he pretty much smoked the cigarette out the window and he put a towel under the bedroom door. (we had a bedroom and living room 2 room suite type thing.) so he wasn't even smoking in the room that had the door that was the entrance to the room.

They accused me of this before even checking the room, so how did they know?
the maid never came in our room.
and our room was on the side of the building, i doubt anyone saw it.

Answer
I recently made the same mistake, and was charged $500!! A manger entered our room as soon as we left, which we noticed as we were waiting for the elevator. We only smoked a little pot, which isn't as potent, but our guess is that a manger or customer walked by coincidentally at the same time. Even if you towel the door, smoke can get out. Also, smoke rises. The problem is that there is no good reason to argue an accusation like this, because all hotel "chains" have lawyers that would destroy the average person. So i guess, a hunch is all they need! needless to say, we were irate!!!

price range on bedroom sets?

bobbovienz

i have a bedroom set i would like to sell. 9 drawer chest, dresser w/ mirror, desk/chair, bed, bookcase and end table. i have no idea how to price it. anybody have a price range in mind?

Answer
The value depends on the quality of construction, the condition, the style and age. Where do you plan to sell it? A consignment store will take half of what they can sell it for. The price to the buyer will be less on Craigslist, but you won't have any cost to sell it.

The used furniture buyer will be looking to spend considerably less than if they bought new on sale.

What bedroom accessories would go with this?

questioner

I just bought this comforter set http://www.belk.com/AST/Main/Belk_Primary/For_the_Home/Shop/Bed/Collection_Bedding/Casual/PRD~9200353PREMI94806D/Sander+Sales+Premiere+Comforter+Set.jsp?off=1&From_Sale_And_Clearance=true&dropName=For%20the%20Home.

I brought it home and I love it! I do not know what bedroom accessories (like colors of lamps, curtains, etc.) that will go with it. It's a brown/dark red color with light gold accents. It's really pretty and it has a romantic feeling, which is what I was going for.

Any suggestions?
If the link doesn't work, go to www.belk.com. Click on "Sale and Clearance". Next, select "For the Home", then "clearance". It should be the second option on the top.
I was thinking white too! But I didn't know it if would draw the romantic warm feeling from the colors of the comforter

Answer
Maybe try to go with white accessories, like white curtains and a white lamp, things like that. For the walls, maybe have them painted tan and for the floor, dark brown hardwood floor or dark brown carpet, which ever one you prefer. And for dressers and little tables and stuff, match them with the same frame board as the one on your bed

Hope this helps!

Hi guys!
My room is a light olive green color and one wall is dark beige. I need to find a pretty comforter that would match it, but I can't find anything!
I am a teenager, but the problem is that I am looking for something a little more mature and feminine than hot pink zebra stripes. And all the adult comforters are too mature for me.
