I have a rather large space (17x17 ft) with a vaulted ceiling that angles up and creates a plant shelf above the door to the master bath. I would like some suggestions on what to do with this shelf area. It is about 12 ft long and 4 ft deep and is about 9 ft from the floor and is 5 ft tall. I would say that our style is "transitional" not too contemporary and not too traditional. Also I am having trouble with the color scheme. Our furniture is dark cherry, our bedding is khaki and creme striped and the carpet is beige. The walls are currently khaki and all of the neutrals are starting to get to me!! I would like to add some color but with such large walls I am afraid of being overwhelmed. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

I'm looking to buy a house, and I have always wanted a kitchen with its own private dining alcove, but i have no idea what it is called in real estate. does anyone know? Usually its about the size of a big pantry, and it can fit a restaurant-style booth..its almost like a big arc cut out of the side of the wall..and it gives you an intimate, restaurant type feeling..i have seen these in a few homes and also in some restaurants. Thanks!

I'd like a queen and I'd like it to last at least 10 years. What is a good brand? Where can I get a good deal? I would like to have a payment plan, like 12 months with no interest, if possible (my credit is average). I am also open to getting a slightly used mattress, as long as it is very clean. Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm in the Los Angeles area.

I just bought a new living room set. Sofa, love seat and chair pictured here: http://www.globalfurnitureusa.com/popup.php?id=1147&cat_id=6&page=&contain_id=1

I would have preferred brown leather pieces, but I got a great deal on the black set. My furniture is an expresso finish. I've seen this paired with black leather in other furniture (chairs and bar stools) and have seen a similar table paired with a black leather set and a rust colored carpet, so I know they can worh together, but dont know how best to "marry" the brown and black pieces. I'm guessing I should use throws and pillows, but not sure what colors would be best.

The sofa, loveseat and chair are black leather. Furniture is expresso. Walls are eggshell white. Carpeting is a taupe. (this is a rental so I'd prefer not to paint the walls)

What colors would be a good choice? Any suggestions where I can buy the throws and pillows?

My bedroom is all black and white..I have a B&W Damask Bedspread, its a bold print and I'd like the main focus to be on it but I need some more color to accent with the black and white. I say not red because my kitchen is black, white, and red so I want something different in my bedroom.

I'm not really a pink person either.

any ideas?

I have picked out a lot of black modernish furniture. But how can I add the beachy feel? The black furniture goes with some of our other furniture in our house, but not entirely. I am really trying to stick to IKEA.com, so if you have some ideas, that'd be awesome!

I need to "liven" up my boring cubicle. The walls are bare and my desk needs more on it then just the files and paper.

Do you know where I can find some cool stuff? Either online or in a store.
** I've looked at Ebay, but can't seem to really find what I'm looking for. (which category would I look under?)
Certain "words" to use for my search?

I have also looked at www.thinkgeek.com

** Any stores carry things like this? Target...? Walmart...? Which others? I live in Southern California/LA area.

Thank you for any tips or suggestions!!

I know one of the rules for feng shui is not to have anything heavy hanging on the wall above your bed. I have a heavy mirror with a shelf ( looks like a window ) i have moved it around my apt but i feel it looks best above my bed. Is there anything i can do to counter this "bad chi"? like hanging a crystal or something?
Also..if it looks right and "feels" right for it to be above my bed wouldn't that be enough in the world of feng shui?

What are some good and bad characteristics of stucco. Also, how does it stack up to other materials in price. I am thinking of stucco as the primary covering for my new home about to be built.

Ok.... I'm looking for a nice comfortable futon. I dont know if you have seen the ones that only the armrests fold out but I dont want that kind. I want the one that spreads out fully (like a bed). I've been to IKEA but theirs are pretty pricie.

I also want a bean bag chair. Do you know a store or a website where I can find good quality bean bag chairs?

Ooh..... I could use an entertainment center as well.

I'm pretty much looking for living room furniture. So if you have something in yours, please let me know :-)

I'd rather it be a walk-in store than online because shipping is kind of costly too

Hope you could help me. If not I guess I'll just go with IKEA/ Target/ or Wal*Mart. Hmm... Best Buy has entertainment centers don't they?


PLEASE SHARE YOUR INFORMATION :-)
Thanks Bunches
