My boyfriend and I just purchased a persian rug on ebay only to learn it's polypropylene not wool. Is there a difference in the material? If so, what can we expect this rug to be like? Will it be soft? Thank you!

I am about to buy a house that needs carpet replaced throughout. I am too shy to ask the people at home depot. I just want a plush, tan colored carpet. Also, does the price per square foot include padding, tack boards and installation, or just the carpet? Thank you.

And the house was built in 1922 but it looks very solid. Much more solid even than most new brick houses made today. Is this house probably outdated and I shouldn't mess with it or does the material last much longer?

I am looking for a specific wallpaper of which I originally got a sample from Graham&Brown but which can no longer be found on their website. The wallpaper is a purple paisley #15735. Does anyone know where I can get a roll of this pattern, I'm going crazy because I designed my whole room around it and it has now disappeared except from 1 site where I found it at a stupidly exaggerated price so that I would end up paying more than double what I would have had to originally! Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

I am so unhappy with the quality of the work I received that I have stopped payment on the final check. I told him to keep the down payment and walk away, so I can have someone else tear it up and start the job all over. That is truly how miserable I am with his work. His reply is he wants to see what his legal rights are. What are his legal rights? I did not get the job I contracted for ,all I am left with is a botched up version of what I wanted. He wants to grind off the entire top of the concrete and make it something I don't want. Do I have to accept it and pay him.? Ineed to hire another contractor to rip it up and start from scratch again. I have 150 pictures of messups. What are my chances of getting what I feel I deserve?

I have an ikea futon This is the pic
http://www.ikea.com/au/en/catalog/products/S29817421

We were stupid enough to spend a lot on it.. And spent extra on the futon mattress too which is so thin that i folded it and used it only on the seating part.. and a attached a double folded comforter to the back to support the back..
But even now , this stupid futon lets out a horrible creak when anyone sits on it.. My Friend says its just bcecause its wood, as i paid a professional a lot of money to assemble it correctly..
I cant afford a new sofa or anthing right now.. Can someone please help me by telling me how to stop the creaking? Its so embarrasing when people visit and sit on it!..
Its assembled correctly.. And this futon model is a sofa bed too , so its higher in front and lower at back.. please look at the website pic and details

I'm going to be moving back into the dorms before too long and I need advice as to what to do to spruce up the space a bit. We cannot put ANY tacks, nails, etc in the wall. (But if I put tacks, or nails in the wall it really isn't a huge deal because I think I might get charged like $1 per nail hole, and $0.60/tack hole, or something) We also cannot paint the walls. We can use tape to put things on the walls, but it can't use duct tape only scotch tape.

HELP ME! Last year I put a collage of different magazine stuff on my walls, but I wanted to think of something a bit different. Any ideas for curtains would be great too, our windows aren't normal size they are vertical and slim.

The furniture that comes with the room is pretty basic, ugly, old light colored wood desk, & dresser. Metal frame bed, and the curtains on the closet are our school logo on black fabric that are attached to "s" hooks on a track type thing.

Ideas on what to do for me and others in my situation?

There are so many brands of air beds out there, I don't know which one to pick. I'm a college student and since I move every nine months I need everything I own to be portable. So the only idea I've come up with for a bed would be to get an inflatable one. But there are so many brands out there I don't know what would be comfortable for long-term use. I want a queen sized bed, preferably a raised one. Or would getting an air bed be a bad idea in the first place? Thanks in advance for everyone's input.
