any color ideas for walls, and links to furniture is greatly appreciated.

all i really want is a bed, a bed side table and maybe a small couch or bean bag chair.

i would appreciate it if all the ideas you give me all go together, not just random pieces of furniture

if the link doesnt work just copy and paste it : )

How about a Renaissance/Camelot inspired room? Get posters/artwork that shows castles, kings, queens, etc:

Tapestries:

Bedding with brocade designs - what you would imagine to see in a mediavel castle:

Since you mention you like waterfalls, then maybe get one:

A wallpaper that looks like stone would complete the look:

But a floral would look quite nice, too:

Answer
1. Pick up the cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm
as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either
side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while
holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth.
Allow cat to close mouth and swallow.

What can I do now to lose about 50 pounds by my wedding in 9 months?

jackandjil

I am getting married in May 2010 and I am 174 pounds right now and want to get down to 130. I am 5 7 and was hoping you could help me by suggesting things that I could do daily to get me down to my goal! Thanks so much.

Answer
Hey first Congratulations!! :)
I have been doing this routine from past few months, i have lost 15Ibs and gain muscles. I have shard this info with couple of friends they have tired it and few ppl on yahoo have tired it and lost about 2 pounds each week. If you able to lose about 2 Ibs per week (THAT IS 8Ibs PER MONTH = 40iBS IN 5 MONTHS) AND you will be very close to your goal. You will be done before your time so here we go!

I know this is long reply. But please take your time and read this. I know this work.

Water is very good for you and specially if you're on diet and if you're working out-water is very good and keeps you hydrated.
I don't believe in pills or any weight loss shakes-they are bogus and lame and are temporally and have many side effects.

First loose the soda, cut down on pizza and fast food.
If you like fires make 'em at home in oven. They come out very yummy and oil free.

Key is to eat small portions 5 times a day.
Morning: boiled eggs, corn flakes, fat free milk, if you want to fry eggs loose the yolk and eat the white part.
Morning snack around 10:30am-11am: a piece of fruit / 2 cups of veggie/ salad
Lunch: Turkey / Chicken lunchmeat with whole grain or wheat bread.
1 Cup of veggies.
Mid day snack (around 2:30pm or so) a piece of fruit or health bar.
Dinner: Grill fish with veggies / brown rice with beans/ wheat pasta with grill chicken.
9pm snack (optional-only if you feel lil hungry 2 hours before your sleep time) have yogurt.

The key is to loose red meat and pork and add more wheat products to your diet. Drink lots of water. As you can read i did not talk about any sweet products. Sweet only from fruits no cookies no cake no brownies.None of that. Sweet things have more and load and calories. Take your protein because you would need that protein for your work out.


Cardio every day only 30-40 min of cardio. Jog-run, fast walk, bike, swim, dance, stair climbing any of these cardio will be great! just choose one method and stick to it. Or you can do 25 min of biking and 15 min of treadmill. Or just go for Jog.

About 100-200 crunches every other day.
100 crunches in morning
100 crunches at night time

For hips, behind and thighs one thing SQUATS and LUNGES helps a lot!
SQUATS are hard to do in start but once you get use to of it, no problem
for butt is "BUTT BLASTER" EXERCISE. You can do it in your bedroom. To see how to perform those exercises, you can go image google put the key word and check out the pics and that will give you idea on how to perform those exercises. All the exercises i told you, you can do it in your bedroom, no need to go to gym or buy any equipment.

Start by doing 3 sets of 15 each.

Believe me you will see results within a month.
I have told other people too, this entire veggies and fruit intake will make you very regular and you will make about 4 trips to the bathroom, so be prepare.

I want to do large chevron stripes at least on one wall but I'm not sure what colors would best compliment my new bedsheets. Any suggestions on colors, patterns, and accent walls are welcome!


This is the bedroom set:

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

jennie.fly

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

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

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

Anyhow, thanks so much for all the help!

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

How do you get rid of gnats? They are invading my kitchen, my bathroom and now my bedrooms. What is the prob?

Q.

A. trace them to the root-they have a short life span
seems you mentioned kitchen-look around for where they are flying from or too-watch for a minute or two, look for anything wet outward or within (fruit or veggis, or grains)(keep them in the fridge or closed container especially pieces of fruit) look -in the outer lining of your trash
and under your fridge in any crevices, in the cabinets (onions potatoes) in your sink drain-remove the source of the problem use a 10% bleach solution if its in the drain or crevices then paper towel it dry.

and to get rid of the gnats of our heart="In marriage the bed is undefiled, but all others shall be judged." Hebrews 13 the same chapter that tells us once we let Jesus into our heart "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee."
on faith=our best - good grooming hair to toes, with nice clothing kept.
to think our best - read the bible and get directions-especially the book of proverbs-i read 3 verses of it a day for 3 days, and then 3 new ones-greatest book of wisdom in the greatest book of smartness-the bible

yet to get the connection we must apply the answer from within-This helped me as born a Jew to realize =when we admit we need something more we are ready to consider the one that gave it all for us, to help us.

As promised "Unto us a child is born a son is given, and he will be the mighty God, the wonderful counselor, and the prince of peace." Isaish 9:6

He said "I go to the cross for the joy set before me, that you might believe." Gospel words of Jesus
"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten, repent quickly therefore (even of one lie) and turn to me. Behold I stand at your heart door and knock, if you hear my word and open the door I will come in and be your friend." Revelation 3:19&20

So I prayed and had this need fulfilled in my life ="Jesus I am sorry for my sins, thanks for dying for me and promising to come into my heart to help me, please do and be my friend, amen."

A new wonderful life began for me-and is offered to each person.

May you have a great day, I am praying for you and each concerned, David
