What to match with furniture?


Posted Wednesday January 11 2012, 1:23 pm

Hello,
I'm looking for advice as to what I could use to make my brown-black furniture look stylish and not so old somehow.
As I'm a student moving out, naturally I don't have so much money so I'm buying some furniture pieces from Ikea. The "ENGAN" series.
I don't mind the black with brown-black furniture but at the same time it doesn't feel very stylish to me, but I'd like to have a nice atmosphere to my room and whatnot.
So what colours can I use to make it fresh and nice looking with this dark furniture?

Any ideas? :) It would be very much appreciated!

New house decorating


Posted Wednesday December 14 2011, 3:09 pm

Hello, my boyfriend and I just bought a new house. The outside is great but the inside is horrible. Actually, it really just needs new carpeting and a fresh coat of paint throughout (everything can be easily fixed!) but since we are making this house our own, I don't want just plain white walls in every room. My problem is, I have so many ideas for each room and none of them really coordinate! Plus, if they DO coordinate, I don't want everything to be too matchy-matchy. How can I create a good them for the whole house but still make each room unique?

Where can a teacher buy stickers in bulk for their students?


Posted Tuesday September 27 2011, 2:37 pm

Hi,

I am a teacher and part of what I do for rewards is give children stickers. With this tough economy, I have little to none money to spend on the kids this year, this includes stickers. Is there anywhere I can buy stickers for a low price. I tried Target, but 1,000 pack is about 5 dollars. That's too much, given that last year I bought the same pack for 1,000. I'm looking close to 10,000 stickers. Help me, please!

Thank you so much.

If anyone knows where to buy fake tree branches near Naperville Illinois, please point me where to. I've looked online but nothing comes up. Not even in Chicago! I'm well aware of websites to order from but I'm not looking for ordering. So please don't suggest it. Thank you to all that provide useful advice.

My Bedroom.


Posted Friday July 8 2011, 6:26 am

Well, I wanna make my bedroom look more sophisticated. I have about 9 posters on one wall of celebrities. I was wondering how I could arrange it on the wall to make it look cool and mature. I was kind of hoping to take off 3-4 of the posters, but I think it would make the wall look bland then. any advice would be appreciated, thanks :)

Any idea where I can get a dresser for my room that hides/holds a TV?


Posted Monday October 11 2010, 6:54 pm

I am trying to redecorate my room and I want to find a dresser where I can store my clothes and put a TV in it (not on top of it - don't have room on wall).

I am looking for a dresser like this: http://picklemedia1.scrippsnetworks.com/pickle_media1/media/HGTV/100626/Photo_Video_51643126233638724095486_medium.jpg?0 - notice that the TV is hidden behind the two cabinet doors on the top of the dresser. Where might I find one of these and what would it be called (only thing I can think of is TV dresser, I guess).

I know that a lot of hotels have them in hotel rooms - the kind where they have tons of drawers in the dresser and then you can pull the TV out on a board from inside the dresser itself. Like this: http://...

How long wet concrete wall takes to dry?


Posted Wednesday June 16 2010, 12:19 pm

My dad is building a little thing out back to put his tools in. The shed is being built to have concrete walls for whatever reason. I was talking to my friends and they said it would be really cool to put our handprints in the cement while it's drying. I think the hand prints idea sounds pretty good too.

I haven't asked my dad yet about it but I'm curious how long a concrete wall will take to dry? We will want to do our handprints before it dries but not right after it's poured, obviously. Does anybody know about it's normal drying time then?
