We are building a new home and I have always taken my color choices for a room from the art I have. I recently heard this was a big violation of a "rule" in decorating. Is this true and what is the best way to decorate with art and interior color and accessories?

I've tried sticking rubber grips on the bottom of the legs but the legs are hollow so the grips don't last long. Once the middle sections shifts the rest of the couch seems to follow.

I want to hire someone to build a small patio for me, There are so many options out there -- brick pavers, poured concrete, stamped concrete, stone pavers, etc. I live in the Chicago area, and am wondering if anyone out there has any advice for me. I know that I do not want brick pavers, but other than that, I`m lost. I have the choice of a sand base, cement base, etc. Also what questions should I ask the contractor, in respect to cost etc. I need to have the ground excavated also, and am wondering if it would pay me to have each part of the job individually itemized. I have waited a long time for this patio, and don`t want to make any costly mistakes. Help!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks

I've heard that not using a washer and dryer for long periods of time will do damage to the machine. Is that true?

I have had difficulty finding a nice, colorful comforter that would look good with my sly blue room. My floor is new and its that fake wood stuff, and I also want a colorful rug on the floor. A lot of my stuff is very colorful and bold, so I want a comforter that it similar or that would compliment it.
Here is one that I like: http://www4.jcpenney.com/jcp/ProductsHOM.aspx?DeptID=25436&CatID=28917&CatTyp=DEP&ItemTyp=G&GrpTyp=ENS&ItemID=0fabff6&ProdSeq=15&Cat=bed+in+a+bag&Dep=&PCat=&PCatID=28907&RefPage=ProductList&Sale=&ProdCount=28&RecPtr=&ShowMenu=&TTYP=&ShopBy=0&RefPageName=CategoryAll.aspx&RefCatID=28907&RefDeptID=25436&Page=99&CmCatId=25436|28907|28917
But I am not sure it would look nice with my blue walls. What do you think?
Photos would be nice!

Does anyone know if monarch butterflies are male or female or if both sexes are colorful? I was mowing in the back yard and saw two of them tangled together in flight. Were they fighting, or mating? Are they territorial? I ask that because there is one that has been in our yard all summer. I have no clue what category to put this question in.
