Old hollywood themed bedroom?

Lalala

I decided I want my bedroom to be old Hollywood themed (think Marilyn Monroe). But I can't figure out what to do. I have a medium sized room in the shape of a square, yellow walls with white trimming, and antique cherrywood furniture. Any ideas on the colors, bed set, patterns, and decorations? Thanks!

Answer
Wall color- rose, pink or pale peach
Get a Hollywood bed (this is a legit type of bed! search it on Google to see pics)
Big vanity table with a lightbulb-trimmed mirror and a vintage chair of some sort..you might want to have a collection of crystal perfume bottles for the top :)
Chandelier
Satin bedding
Throw feather boas over things
Rotary phone
White faux fur rug
Framed black and white photos of Marilyn or Jean Harlow or whoever you want
Put on red lipstick and kiss a little lip print onto one of your mirrors (ps you should have lots of mirrors), I've done this in my room and it really looks fabulous

Have fun decorating. xxo

Set my sights on this lovely Maine Coon cat, but does a big cat like that need a big house?

I live in an 800 sq ft 2 bedroom apartment, and I know this type of cat gets rather large. I do not plan to let any cat I own outdoors, would this be a bad choice for an indoor cat in a small apartment?

Answer
No, there is no need to have a big house. I own a Maine Coon and he is incredibly sweet and low maintenance. Not all Maine Coons become larger than other cats. All they need is a comfy place to sleep and lots of love. As long as there is some type of exercise available you'll be fine. All it will need is a play mouse or a string to chase. This should not be a problem though because Maine Coons are naturally playful and energetic.

Louis Phillipe Queen Bedroom set at Big Lots?????????

Q. Well they have this Queen bedroom set at Big Lots that I really want. It says queen so i don't think they have Full or King and i have a full bed.

My mom said that sometimes they are the same size or something and that it doesnt matter. What is your opinion.

Are they the same or am i out of luck. I have been wanting this bed for about a month now and now i have enough money for it. $299.99.

Look at it:

Answer
there isn't a huge difference in queen and full, and biglots has what's onm the floor as far as furniture goes. measure your mattress and go measure the bed. it shouldn't be a huge difference,at least not so much you couldn't cover it with a bulky comforter.

Homemade Bedroom Decor?

Ally Kirk

Hey my 11 year old sister is interested in redoing her bedroom and she doesn't have any money to buy anything. Her room is going to be black & white based. And ideas of what she can make. Please include directions and items needed to make!

Answer
What she could do is save up money for a few big things. For example, I saved up for a nice duvet and sheet set that I liked. And then you can start DIY things to match. Goodwills and thrift shops have a lot of amazing things she could add into her room and since black and white are two very common colors, it shouldn't be hard to find something she would like.

Paint existing furniture all one matching color. Craft a few decorative items like this: http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/2007/10/how-to-make-fabric-panel-wall-art.html

Basically just have fun and use your imagination. She's sure to love whatever she puts in her room if she makes it herself. Also another genius idea is if she wants a rug in her room, don't spend a lot of money on an area rug. Find cheap fluffy bathrugs and sew them all together. You can't tell they're sewn together unless you look really hard. Good luck!

where in la county can I get a dinning room table and chairs for cheap?

Alex

also looking for a bedroom set.thank you!

Answer
"Big & Lots" has furniture for cheaper prices, although their selection is rather limited. "Wal-Mart" may be another option. Some department stores (Target comes to mind) have patio-furniture that can be used indoors which still look pretty decent as far as dining-room furnishings go. Patio-furniture is often cheaper than standard indoor furniture. Flea-Markets & yard sales are another idea.

Know any good websites where I can find Cheap furniture?

Q. Walmart has some good deals but that's all I've found. I'm mainly looking for a bedroom set.

Answer
big lots has a big furniture dept & good prices

When is the best time to buy from Ashley Furniture?

I want to buy a bedroom set from Ashley Furniture. When do they have the best prices? What kind of sale schedule do they have?

Answer
Though I do not know a whole lot about Ashley's retail stores, I do know the company well; the furniture retailer for whom I worked sales, customers service, and management was an Ashley dealer. I can only assume, as one of the other responses did, that they function in much the same way that other discount furniture retailers do.

Furniture stores, as was mentioned, tend to have some definite sale times. Statistically, the big weekends of the year are memorial day and labor day. Those also tend to be the days of the biggest sales (generally a circus in the store, so check to see if they start sales prior to the actual holiday weekend). Additionally, any other "3 day weekend" holiday tends to trigger furniture sales.

Hopefully this is helpful.

How much will it cost to hire a moving company?

redsoxchic

I will possibly be moving approx 50 miles away and wanted to know about how much it would cost to hire a moving company? It would basically be everything I have; living room set, bedroom set and the remainder of my items. I don't have any interest in doing it myself as many of the items are just far too heavy for me to move. I am trying to get a general idea for budget purposes. Many thanks!

Answer
50 miles is a local move. You would need to find a local moving company that will charge you by the hour.
Check out this website, it has a lot of useful info: www.losangelesmover.org
50 mile move with 3 movers and a truck should not cost you more than $80-$100 an hour. It also important to know the size of your household.
1 brd usually 3-4 hours min, 2 brd 5-6 hours 3 brd 8+ hours.
If you wanna save money find a reputable local movers, big companies will give you flat rate, but it will be 2-3 times MORE expensive.
