Decorating & Remodeling - January 2007

I live at home, so can only really redecorate my own bedroom. I was looking on Yahoo! about Feng Shui and thought it'd be cool to bring some luck and love into my life by having a fish bowl in my room. Some people say 6 gold, 1 black fish, some say 7 gold and 1 black goldfish. Does anyone know for sure?

I was also reading some other answers/tips about Feng Shui and a person said not to put water features in your bedroom like an aquarium.

That puts a damp on my idea of putting a fish tank in my room.
Is it true that gold fish need 5-10 gallons of water each? That is an awful lot! Maybe 2 gold and 1 black goldfish is okay?

Love your opinions and expertise!

...absolutely does not like Phillippe Starck's furniture and thinks it's totally overrated?

Just wondering. I'm feeling that way. I think he just tries too hard and it looks sterile.

My ex used to dry flowers by just wrapping string around the stems of a bouquet of flowers and hang them upside down and they would dry out for flower arranging. I have a dozen roses with baby's breath that I would like to do the same thing with. Will it work, and any hints on the best way to do it?

I'm sick of the same old colors in my house. I know. There's so many shades of each color and techniques we can use to distress them or whatever. But the bottom line is there's still just the same basic colors. Anyone else ever think that besides me?

i have two large living rooms that were once seperated by wooden doors that parted in the middle, they were breaking so we decided to take them down, and now there nothing to seperate the rooms that are red and purple, does anyone know some sites that could give me ideas for fabric or a way to seperate rooms....since the house is very settled, it would be almost impossible to get doors with the wacky measurements
