Rachel S

soo I live way out in the country (about an hour from atlanta)..
I absolutely love the city and I would like to make my bedroom fit my style.
I cannot spend ANY money (for paint or anything) but I would still like to make my bedroom feel as if its in the middle of the city..
any ideas?number 1 (right inside of my bedroom): http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/Rachel_zoe_2009/Mobile%20Uploads/0608122012.jpg
and number 2 (where my bed is): http://i639.photobucket.com/albums/uu114/Rachel_zoe_2009/Mobile%20Uploads/0428121554.jpg
btw, plz excuse the mess, this was before i cleaned up my room
here are 2 pics on my room.

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

What is the Average Utilities cost for a 1 Bedroom Apartment in Atlanta?

Vince

Im set to move in a 1 Bedroom Apartment on the top floor, that is 603 Sq-ft, with no washer and dryer, and all electric apartment so I wont have a gas bill, I'll just be paying water and power, I'll also be very conservative on power and water. If it helps I'll be using Marietta Power and Water. I'm not looking for exact rates just average cost.

Answer
Call the power company give them the address and ask them what the average cost of shocktricity was for that unit last year. Ask them if they can split the bill over 12 payments to levelize the monthly payment for your budget.

What should I do with my home?

bedroom set atlanta image

chocolateb

I live in Atlanta and I am going to be taking a 6-12 month contract in another state. I have a nice 3 bedroom home 2.5 bathroom home about 12 miles from downtown (in the suburbs) but it is not in an attraction area nor is it set up like a vacation home. I don't want my home to just sit idel for that long period of time and I don't want to sell it because I will be coming back to town once a month and at the end of the contract, I will be moving back in it. I am worried about renting it out for fear of someone tearing it up but I may have to do this. What shoudl I do with it? Should I try to rent it out weekly as a vacation home? Any other suggestions?

Answer
If money is not a problem with you, hire a caretaker for your home while you are gone. Somebody to check on it, clean it and make it ready for you to come home to. Install an alarm system before you go. Post the warnings. Stop all newspapers and mail. Get timers for the lamps. Tell the neighbors you will be gone. Good Luck!

How is it like living in a dorm?

SV650s

Is it better or worse than an apartment? What about the studying? I heard that some neighbors are noisy, and they have orgy everyday. What about the rent? Does the dorms are cheaper than apartments? Thank a lots in advance.

Answer
I lived in the dorms my first year of college. Dorm life can be lots of fun and lots of not so fun. I had a total of 4 roommates (our dormatories were giant 4 bedroom apartments... very nice... some colleges are not so lucky). The rent was basically $6000 for a whole year (ran from aug-july and included all utilities/cable/internet/washer/dryer... but no phone, most ppl just had cell phones). My college was in Atlanta and I loved being in the city. My roommates were pretty cool. We occasionally disagreed on air conditioning, cleaning, laundry, etc, but for the most part we all got along. My roommates did like to throw lots of parties (and you definitely have to be careful with alcohol on campus!) and it affected my grades (so be careful). To avoid fights over parties, utilities, etc. you definitely need to set grounds rules when everyone moves in. Find a common ground on air temp, laundry routines, study hours, food storage, etc. When we first movied in, our RA (resident assistant) made us all sign a contract that agreed us to our own set house rules. We all had to sign it and basically if a problem arose we would refer back to the rules. This may seem kinda silly, but it makes things official and gets things out in the open. For the most part, I liked living in the dorms. Its a good experience. You are really on your own and you learn to manage a house. It can be frustrating at times (especially when everyone was raised differently and do things differently), but its really awesome when you share classes with your roommates. My roommate and I shared American Gov class, but I never went to class (no attendance policy). It was great, I got the notes and assignments without going to class (made a B in the class).

I hope that was useful. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Does any one know of any apartment complexes in BuckHead atlanta georgia?

anthony

Once i get my degree, i am out of cleveland ohio!
i really i have my eyes set on an apartment in buckhead ATL, GA.
does anyone know of any nice inexpensive apartment complexes in that area?
when i say inexpensive.
im mean between the price of 1500 a month to 2500 a month

Answer
In Atlanta $1500-2500 a month would be VERY expensive, unless you're talking about like a 3 or 4 bedroom place or something.

An inexpensive 1BR in Buckhead should run about $700. For a "luxury apartment complex" you should expect to pay less than $1100 a month. Anything above that is either overpriced, very very fancy, or a highrise.

There are tons. If you want really high end, check out places on Lenox Road. For regular old "luxury" places, Post properties (any), Monroe Place, Uptown Square, Tuscany ... and so many more, you can't go 2 feet in Buckhead without tripping over one of these places.

What are some good places to buy furniture from in Georgia?

Q. Hello, I am looking to buy some new furniture, I am in the atlanta area and I would like to know a place that sells nice furniture without the super high prices. I'm shopping for a bedroom set and couch and love seat. Thanx!!

A. About 23,200,000 results when I Google "Furniture Georgia" You can do the same on Yahoo or Bing etc. More importantly when you find a company you plan to do business with check them out with independent third party sources like the BBB or check out reviews on things like Yelp, Google, or Yahoo Maps.

Would it be too expensive to hire a moving company to move one room's furniture and a car?

Q. I'm going to be moving in a few months and am currently looking for a moving company. I highly doubt that I would be able to drive a moving truck with a car attached to the back (no matter how small the truck). I am only moving one bedroom (and a car) from Ohio to the Carolinas.

A. Yes, its going to cost you.
I used a moving company to move a 3 bedroom-house worth of stuff and a car from Houston to Atlanta, grand total almost $10,000. Uhaul has a lot of great options for you. If you are nervous about towing the vehicle they can set it up for you.
