Decorating & Remodeling - September 2006

Our new house doesn't have a fireplace. I don't know where to hang our stockings this year. I thought about just tacking them on the wall, but I was wondering if someone had a better and more creative idea.

I'm starting to think about ideas for Christmas decor. I love the country/rustic type of Christmas decor. I think this year I am going to make a popcorn strand for the tree. Anyone have any other ideas that are quite easy that relate to this theme? Even simple ideas are welcome! Thanks!

Hi! I'm moving into my first apartment. It's actually going to be the first time that I'm going to be living on my own. It's a small apartment (not like box or coffin apartment small) and I'm looking for some tips or ideas on design. Some of my likes / dislikes are:

Likes
----------
1. I like the color black, but not as in "goth" or batcave.
2. I like classical music.
3. I also like history. I'm very font of italian stuff and the renaissance.
4. I love paintings.
5. I'm generally a very eclectic person.

Dislikes
-----------
1. Any feminine colors or pastels. I'm a guy.
2. Many people like pop music. I dont.
3. I dont like brown. I think that bright yellow should be reserved for "Big Bird".

Please, any help that you can give would be obliged. How would I describe my taste and my views? I believe strongly that I was born into the wrong century.

Thank you very much for any help!

I have moved to a 1930 terraced house with bay window in SW London. I am keen to know which are fireplaces common at the time. Please attach photos.. Is it the cast iron, the pinky beige or the slabbed tile art deco.
My house is a very standard 3 bedroom terrace in Sw20, ans is common in Morden too.

Our closing date is Oct. 13th and it needs some work before we move in, how soon can we start on it? Do we have to wait until closing? We already have been approved for the loan. We just have to wait for appraisal, inspection, and survey.

I'm having a chair recovered because I still love the style of it. Most of the fabrics I like have a lot of Rayon in them. My mother says she doesn't think Rayon wears well. I really love these fabrics but, I don't want something that won't wear well. I have 2 children. I'd appreciate your advice here. Thanks.

I will soon be remodeling my kitchen and have space for one cups and glasses cabinet. It will be 42" high, but for the width, I am not sure if I should put an 18" single door or an 24" double door. This kitchen serves a 3 bedroom house, and this will be the only space for glasses and cups.
Thanks
