I don't know how to pull together my unmatching furniture. I can't really pull off a theme because the shapes and colors of the furniture are just all over the place. I can't buy newfurniture right now but i still want it to look a little stylish instead of a bachelor pad!

Any suggestions? The kitchen appliances are all black. What color would be good for countertops and cabinets. I have to choose the colors of the vinyl siding although I do not want white because it gets dirty fast. I think I have chosen this taupy brown for the walls throughout and dark cherry ceiling fans. What about the carpet any suggestions or any good websites? My favorite color is red if that would help.

I sold a set of cows online and UPS busted them in transit. Now they will not honor my claim unless I can prove how much they are worth. My problem is I bought them 5 years ago for $100 and don't have the receipt. If anyone knows of any link showing 4 ceramic canisters shaped like cows for about $100.00, please send it to me. Thank you.

We have just bought a house for me, husband and 3 kids. Whilst it is liveable in, it needs replastering, decorating, carpeting and a new kitchen and bathroom. It also needs the ceilings artexing and the lighting/electrics rewiring. Question is where do we start? Do we do one room at a time from start to finish? Or do we do each job in all the rooms at the same time? Which room do I do first? I say the lounge because it is where the kids spend most of their time. Husband thinks kitchen but it is useable as it is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Last year i bought my house as an investment house, I'm currently living in it. I'm looking in to selling it about four years from now. I got it for 200k and it got valued at 225k. It's wise to invest my savings in to home improvements to gain value when i sell my house 4 yr from now? Will the market turn within next four years?

Someone told me they bought something at Ikea. I went online (since I dont live by one) and found a few items, but noticed that more than half of them are not available for online purchases...why? whats the point of having an online store, if you are only showing what you can buy in SOME cities?

I've done some looking into it and am receiving conflicting advice.

Some say to start at an edge to avoid half peices.

Others say to start in the middle of the longest expanse. (which in my case would be the middle of the hallway that runs the length of the house ) for a uniform look?

I intend to do all of my main floor rooms which includes front living room, hallway with two bedrooms off it, kitchen and bathroom off kitchen?

I've already picked out my bedspread. It's also white, but it has three light, pastel-ish flowers on it in khaki, blue and pink with a few sage colored leaves. I also have a real rustic looking mirror that looks like a lot like a window pane--it has leather straps (one that runs horizontal and one that runs vertical) and then a big metal o's holding the leather straps in the center. I want to add something to my other walls, but I'm so burnt out on hanging picture frames and scones. I can't paint either since the walls are stuco and I'm renting. It'd be too hard to cover up when I move into my condo.
I once put scones on my wall and filled them with water and put chinese fighting fish in them, so I'm up for anything.. I just need some help--my creativity if lacking. Thanks!
Also, my room is not square, and it's pretty small, so my bed has to go in the corner-yuck!

I'm just moving in and I need to paint the kitchen. The cabinets are light maple and the floor is wood of similar color and the countertop is also light. The room does not get alot of light so I'm afraid to use red which I think would look awesome. PLEASE help...I'm not sure what I should do. I'm pretty open but would like something that flows with my living room which is tan (walls) brown (couch) and teal (accent).
