Question by angel girl: i have a leather chocolate sofa, what colour pillows & how a lot of should i get? btw, my wall is light blue.?
i was contemplating of acquiring a zebra print pillow, but can't make a decision if i really should get a black/white zebra print OR the tan/chocolate zebra print.


Best solution:

Solution by Nicole B
Intelligent choice on selecting home furniture that is reliable colored and bringing in the shade by including pillows with pizazz. I enjoy it when folks understand excellent design. I would surely go with the tan/chocolate zebra print for a touch of class, and add some pure white/off white (which ever is the alternative coloration in the zebra stripe) pillows also.

Seems Wonderful!

Need some ideas for art in a dining room?

Query by Wayf: Require some ideas for artwork in a dining space?
I am aiding a good friend do some decorating in her new apartment. Her dining space is dark blue with white trim. We have reviewed what can be completed about brightening it up. I've painted residences professionally, so I know what repainting would just take.

We determined to try to prevent repainting and discover other ways to provide light to it. Luckily she has a great dining set manufactured of light-coloured wooden, and there is a fairly huge constructed-in hutch on one particular wall, which is white. I am contemplating of adding some ambient lights to that.

Now, the existing "artwork" is darkish, and I've told her we want to change that to aid stability the area. She has a breathtaking painting of horses that I believe would seem really great in there, and I'm heading to paint her a thing, as well. (most probably an additional 1 with horses). Even so, I think we need at minimum 3-four a lot more items that would compliment the horses - without likely overboard with them.

I recognize horses in a dining room seems a bit... nicely, different, but there aren't numerous other alternatives and she lives on a fixed cash flow. In addition, as I said, the one particular painting she has is actually very lovely.

I've imagined of adding sconces, but I could use some ideas for maybe two other paintings.

Thank you so a lot for your support!

with the new furniture. I have 8 foot ceilings, two windows to decorate and one of the windows is in the center of the wall, but the other window is not centered.

My husband is really into wolves so we have several pictures and figurines scattered through out the room, the new furniture is a solid microfiber blue (a little darker than country or cornflower type blue). I dont really know what style to call my living room, it's not country or retro...it's more "outdoors-y" i want that feel through out my whole house...so, with all that rambling...I need to figure out great window treatments and maybe area rug ideas to "pull the room together"...any ideas, websites, or pics would be greatly appreciated!!!

Jock, the painter, often would thin his paint so it would go additional. So when the Church decided to do some deferred maintenance, Jock was able to set in the very low bid, and acquired the career. As always, he thinned his paint way down with turpentine.

One day whilst he was up on the scaffolding -- the job practically finished -- he heard a horrendous clap of thunder, and the sky opened.

The downpour washed the thinned paint off the church and knocked Jock off his scaffold and onto the lawn amid the gravestones and puddles of thinned and worthless paint.

Jock understood this was a warning from the Almighty, so he got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I do?"

And from the thunder, a mighty voice: "REPAINT! REPAINT! AND THIN NO More!"

The issue: The dresser is fifteen" deep and helps make the area search somewhat crowded as-is. This area truly would seem more excellent with a 10"-12" deep buffet to enable extra space for the eating set.

I was pondering about cutting the further depth off the dresser including altering the drawers to fit, reattaching the back legs and making a 'leaf' for the entrance so that when essential, the leading could fold down for added serving room.

My question is... if you have been coming in to a property wherever the buffet is up in opposition to a wall, at the rear of the eating set, would you observe that its only 10"-12" deep and, would you feel that out of spot for the room or, would you believe it is a neat thought to serve storage purpose even though upscaling the space some?

I like the search and feel it will serve my desires (linen storage) but just before I hack absent at the dresser, I want other folks input.

I cant appear to locate a ten"-twelve" piece on the web, so I assume what I need to have is custom made and Id desire employing what I have vs. likely to the price of obtaining some factor constructed. The dresser I have is non sentimental but, I would use it as a dresser if I cant use it for this.

Try out seeking at other pieces that may operate...console television models...book shelves..that kind of factor to get the depth you want.

There is a dining area suite with a table with two or 3 leaves, four side chairs and two arm chairs alongside with a buffet, server/sideboard, and china cabinet. There is a bedroom suite with a tall boy, prolonged dresser, total mattress with headboard and footboard and a evening stand.

Exactly where do I go to locate out what kind of furniture this may well be and how to get a honest cost/appraisal?

Answer by Elizabeth
Do not permit them know you want an appraisal since you want to offer it. IF they consult say its for insurance reasons or one thing. Also, get several opinions and be mindful that the "value" of the household furniture might be more than what it truly sells for.

An additional way would be to go to the library or bookstore and search up some publications on antique furniture. That will give you some concept of what to appear for and assist you be capable to request the appropriate queries of the appraiser.

How to connect the dining room chandelier to a wall light switch?

Query by Evelyn D: How to connect the eating place chandelier to a wall mild change?
I dwell in a 1956 property and started out renovating my eating space. I desired to alter the chandelier and discovered a issue: there is one light change on the wall and it controls an electrical outlet, not the chandelier. The old chandelier had a on/off change on it. The new chandelier does not have this switch. When I unscrewed the outlet on the wall that is controlled by the light switch, I found a black and white wire that are tied collectively and tucked in powering the receptacle. Is it achievable that people wires control the chandelier? How ought to I link them to be in a position to operate the ceiling light with the wall mild switch?


Finest solution:

Answer by paulofhouston
First you need to uncover out exactly where the wire to the light fixture is getting its electrical power (by going in attic and tracing it) Then eliminate the black (mild fixture electrical power offer) lead wherever it is finding its energy from and link that(black) lead to the change(both at the outlet or swap) If you splice it then make certain your splice is in a coated metal junction box,and you use wire nuts.If what I said is in anyway perplexing then contact an electrician (this winter given that the attic will be stifling)

How do middle easterners decorate their homes?


Question by Charles: How do middle easterners decorate their homes?
What are some of the same elements that you will find in the home of a middle eastern muslim family?


Best answer:

Answer by skedaddle
Well, many Middle Eastern Muslim families have religious scripts framed up in their homes. The framed items can include: the 99 names of Allah, the word Allah and/or Muhammad in Arabic, the letters Alif Lam Meem, or a picture of the Kabah. These frames pieces are a major characteristic of their homes.

Otherwise, the way a Muslim family decorates their home varies widely depending on nationality, religiosity, income level, and of course the size of the home. Some have family photographs up, while others either don't take photos at all or don't frame them in public rooms. Some have Persian carpets, but many have rugs and other typical pieces of furniture from American furniture stores. Some may choose to display hookahs or exotic lamps in the sitting area. Palestinian families may have framed up a map or flag of their nation. And some Arab families may choose to hang up a keffiyeh/shemagh up somewhere in the house.

In general, Muslim families don't usually have art up that depict animals or human beings (besides family photos). But some Persian/Indian/Pakistani families do put up art with animal or human figures if the art is from the Mughal or Safavid empires.

Besides these manifestations, Middle Eastern Muslim families, especially middle class families, simply decorate their homes like the average middle class Western family would. There is a certain degree of expectation that they keep their homes clean, but I think that holds for non-Muslim middle class families as well.

If you want to market your home, yellow is the color assured to do it the quickest. You just want to uncover a nice pale shade.

If you'll be holding your residence, my suggestion would be go for a walk about the neighborhood. What is the shade palette? If most homes are pastel, stick to pastels.

If they are traditional deep reds, navy blues, whites, stick to that palette.

Find a colour that matches in with the neighborhood, but will make you stand out from the properties on either facet and across the road.

The moment you have that color in thoughts, go to a great paint store (not Residence Depot for this) and consult for the finest contrast shade of the shade you've chosen for trim.

when you know the shades, go to Residence Depot or another low-expense house provide keep, and get a quart of every single shade. Select an external wall that won't be able to be observed too effectively, but will get a great quantity of sun for the duration of the day. Paint a sample of the siding & trim shades there and when it dries, seem it through.

You want to in shape in with the neighborhood, but stand out from your speedy neighbors. It's tough function, but has worked for me in 2 homes!

Most of our disgusted celebration stared at the plate as my father recited the renowned blessing of the haggis in a thick Scottish accent translated.
My father completed of the blessing and heartily bellowed "Let's eat!"Many of our guests stood very a lot dumbfounded at the thought, but slowly they shuffled into a line and manufactured their way around the unfamiliar buffet of foods. My father positioned generous quantities of haggis on everyone's plate, encouraging them to consume it, boasting about how prolonged it took him to prepare.
Although the rest of our meals was cleared, the haggis just appeared to transfer back and forth on our guest's plates as a lot the dancers in the hall. I guess haggis was just a bit also foreign for our perplexed American friends. People danced to the Scottish jigs and to their finest work, recited the poetry in a very Americanized Scottish accent. In all the night time was a results, even even though folks have been not sure how to consider our haggis or "squelch".

I will have to paint my dining room table and the walls are going to be a tone on tone lilac. what color?


Question by justakidagain: I will have to paint my dining room table and the walls are going to be a tone on tone lilac. what color?
Possibly will be on medium tone hardwood floors. Table and chairs right now are a light oak color and just won't do.


Best answer:

Answer by seamstress
Lilac is a diluted version of purple. Purple is made up of reds and blues. So shades of those two colors would work. Also, shades of green are a complimentary color to purples and lavenders.

If you want a nice contrast, chocolate brown would also be a great color to paint furniture in a lavender room.

How do I merge 2 family traditions for a Christmas party?

Question by dizzymissnaty: How do I merge two family traditions for a Xmas social gathering?
I acquired a residence this calendar year so my family members would like me to host the Xmas get together. My boyfriend and I believed it'd be enjoyable to have his family members come as properly. We have been with each other 4 many years and we have nevertheless to share xmas dinner. Every single family members celebrates in different ways and I'd like to make it combine harmoniously.
His family has a formal strategy, although mine is really laid back again.
They serve wine and have an extravagant table set up. Centerpiece, carefully folded and put napkins, the great silverware comes out, good every little thing in fact.. the cups the plates, you get the level.. they consider pride in it. Most of the food is prepared by his mom, but absolutely everyone brings a little something. They say grace ahead of anybody commences consuming. The present exchange is just random although, every person just grabs and gives without having buy.
My family members eats "buffet-type" . Each and every individual is assigned a dish to cook and we have one particular big table where all the foods goes. When absolutely everyone has arrived we all crowd the table and then disperse throughout the house and try to eat wherever we please. We usually have a lot more beer than wine. For reward exchanging we do secret santa and we make a video game of it.. each particular person normally requires a turn describing who they got even though the relaxation of us try out to guess appropriately (it can be so cheesy I know but it has been tradition because I was a child).
We're searching at about forty visitors.. I can hire tables but I don't think I can fit a lot more than 3 tables in my living/eating room. For the key santa I don't want to have his household enjoy us play although they sit on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs ( and we have already picked names so we can't even include them to the recreation).
I desire my family's way (duh.. I am so used to it), his family's way looks a bit "stuffy". But I also want to make his family experience at ease. When we introduced our strategy to his family tonight over thanksgiving dinner I watched his mom's encounter and I could see the shock. She has Usually hosted the christmas get together at her residence so I'd truly like to impress her.
How ought to I take care of the dinner and the reward trade?

btw sorry for the super extended problem.

Solution by friendofchip
HIs dinner, your reward giving.

His household sit together and have fun, nicely, they sound like they get it seriosuly, but if your fun great deal sat together like his family do it would be very good.

Their present opening seems terrible and your sounds genuinely excellent. SO go for yours, they can get into the local community spirit of it, just like you can do with thier meal.

It seems like THEY like the meal part, and YOU like the present part- to be together and have entertaining and loved ones spirit and togetherness( violins and soppy audio at this point) or every single part of the day.

If you did it the other way spherical- your meal regimen and THEIR present program, you'd have an untogether XMas wherever no person would even look at every single other.


As for serving the entire meal- you could still inquire people to bring a dish, but have the meal AT the table sitting jointly. If there's forty people you are going to nevertheless be in your very own teams anyway with all the seating!

You have obtained what seems like the finest of 2 Xmas traditions to put with each other, and also it would be actually tough to inquire 1 or even two men and women to cook all that stuff- you don't have to inquire individuals men to cook, just your individual family to do what they often do- cook a dish, put together it in a white dish if possible.


I am becoming honest right here- I think HIS loved ones dinner seems a lot nicer. I Adore the schedule, the excellent plates, the candles the fancy stuff, the odor of the pine wreaths on the table, It's a gorgeous night, and never waste it!
But I feel YOUR present giving is the very best, despite the fact that I by no means did solution santa- opening presensts ought to be wonderful, happy and NOT the frnezy you say his household does- that is the worst, it tends to make the complete issue looks low cost and tacky without any believed for the particular person you happen to be giiving your gift also.
So your gifts, his meal. The truth its YOUR loved ones at the table also will make it NOT stuffy. And impress his mom, Massive TIME, in fact, notify your family to really outdo themselves with the fancy dishes and table dressings.

Generally, spraying is utilised to get the paint on the surface area. It is normally again-brushed or rolled to get great adherence. Some painters just spray and go. We say "they just blow the doors off."
It is a poor excuse for a paint career since it only lays the paint on the outer floor.

Problem by Courtney28: Why do individuals see the reply by date as a suggestion?
I have not been on here in a few weeks, been nuts hectic with my wedding ceremony. About 40 days to go.

So why do individuals take the reply by date as a suggestion?

I know most of the men and women we invited can not arrive because it can be a vacation spot marriage ceremony. The reply envelopes were self addressed and pre stamped, so why on god's green earth is it so difficult to verify indeed or no and drop the little bugger back in the mail?!?

I can not tell you how numerous men and women we have talked to that are "waiting to listen to about holiday from perform" my complete sensation is, these folks have acknowledged for more than six months about our marriage ceremony. If that had some intention to come should not they have asked for time off prior to a couple of days ahead of their response was essential?

I've received people breathing down my neck about headcounts, etc, and no one particular on my list can give me a straight certainly/no solution. It is all "we'll see" We have to meet a 5000 minimum for foods so we need to have to know how many folks are coming so we can select the suitable costing menu to create up, kinda challenging when there's so several individuals in limbo.

Yes it really is a vegas wedding ceremony, but we're not heading to have 20 dollar buffet for dinner right after, we're having a sit down formal dinner in a non-public eating area at a not virtually low cost restaurant.

So what ought to i do for these individuals? think about them sure or consider them no?

And individuals wonder why girls flip into bridezillas. Heaven forbid the bride try out to make the wedding about her and her fiance, not absolutely everyone elses schedules.


many thanks for listening to me rant :o)
the last sentence just has to do with everyone bickering about our wedding ceremony date, the time, the location, the reality that individuals will have to use holiday to go to it, and many others and many others. We chose the date and place close to our timetable due to the fact my fiance is in the army, and if folks can arrive, that's brilliant. If they can not, then we're not heading to be offended.

How far should you go when negotiating the price of something?

Problem by Seafoodlover: How far ought to you go when negotiating the value of one thing?
I was going to purchase a eating place set from a lady off Craigslist. There have been 11 items – table with two leafs, 8 chairs (two arm and six facet), buffet and china cabinet with hutch. The furniture is fifteen years previous and for the most component it was well held. There is a rather prolonged scratch on the table leading. It wasn't like a surface scratch, but a lot more like one thing had a bit carved the wood. The buffet had a number of knicks and the chair cushions were that previous thick substance. To create new material I would have to just take them to an ulphosterer simply because they weren't the sort that you could redo your self by stapling the cloth to the bottom. She was originally asking $ 1,200 to $ 1,500. When we talked, I provided her $ one,000. She told me to arrive look at the home furniture first then we could discuss. I went to her house and looked at the furniture. Following I noticed the furnishings I supplied her $ 900. She countered $ 950. I told her $ 900. She agreed. I went back home and talked to my husband.

He did not believe the set was really worth $ 900, thinking about the price to have the chair cushions carried out ($ thirty-50 per chair as well as I even now had to purchase my own cloth) and proposed I maintain looking. I called her back again that night and left her a voicemail describing that. She named me back again the next day saying she talked to her husband, and he would promote it to us for $ 800. At that point, I took into consideration that it would value almost $ 400 to get the chairs redone, so I offered her $ 700. She countered $ 750. I informed her to speak to her husband and see what he was ready to do. She mentioned she would contact me back again that evening or very first thing the following early morning. I in no way heard from her. I went back again on Craigslist to seem at other tables for sale, and I saw she had reposted the advert asking for $ 975. It wasn't a huge deal due to the fact I wasn't in love with the home furniture to start with, but did I go too much with the negotiations? I did not assume her to give it away, but I just felt simply because it is so aged she was asking a bit considerably.
She mentioned she paid more than $ three,000 for the home furniture brand name new. It was Drexel Heritage. It looked like excellent heavy furnishings, but won't furniture depreciate like vehicles?
