We need to keep with this year's parade theme of Hollywood's Golden Years, while connecting it to our animal shelter. Any ideas for how to decorate?

I have a blue painted room, little darker than Sky blue. (btw navy blue and sky blue i should say, more towards skyblue than navy blue). I have a very nice sheet set thats totally white. I am wondering what color comforter set I should go with? Originally I thought I should buy Navy blue to contrast nicely with White sheet set, but I am afraid that it might not have that good contrast with room. But I might be wrong...
Also my bed frame is lighter shade brown (light Oakwood).
Any suggestion ideas? thanks

The bedroom has dark gray carpet, mirrored closet doors with a white trim. A door which open into this room is a light green with white trim. I was thinking of a light blue ceiling (harbor haze) with beige walls and white trim.

Ideally it would have it's own room, just off the living room and the shower room would back on to it so you can watch Mr Pingu swim while you wash.

I have a house. I have a lot of books and need an extra room / library. My back yard is big. My office room has a window to the back yard.

Is it possible to put a door there and extend the house with an extra room?

How much would a room cost, as big as a 2 or 3 car garage?

What kind of company should I search in the yellow pages?

I need ideas to display photos of my children. I have lots of 8x10's and 5x7's all over the walls of a small house. I don't want to put some of the older ones away yet so i am looking for some ideas to display them maybe frames that hold more than one picture. you can find frames all day long that hold several 3x5's of 4x6's but not any larger pics. I need some ideas please!!!

it's a sliding glass back patio door. they (women in the family) already picked out one, but it looks to be really long drapes that part in the middle and you can move by hand. i don't like it as it sticks out slightly too far from the glass and can let cold air come in through the sides. it also makes our family room look like it has a giant window. does anyone have any good recommendation for good, stylish type curtains for a back patio? any help is appreciated. store recommendations or links with pics and good price is also a great help =D

We recently had our kitchen designed at Home Depot--cabinets, countertops, etc. Now I'm hearing their merchandise is of a lower quality. My question is this--if I'm actually getting my cabinets, etc from another manufacturer (say, Kraftmaid) but buying them through HD, how can their merchandise be lower quality? Besides, I'm sure the manfacturer is the one that backs their products, not Home Depot.
Has anyone heard of this? What has your experience been with HD as far as kitchen materials?

P.S.--HD will NOT be installing them.

I'm trying to find an ornamental snail, maybe something that you put in the garden or kitchen. could either be porceline (or that sort of ilk) or brass (or that sort of thing). I know I'm being really specific here but I really need to get this!!!!!! am in the UK.
