It's under a cabinet, so I can't use votives-that-fit. I've thought about potpourri or miniature soaps, in various shapes of cordial glasses, for a purposeful use. Know hand-dipped candles joined by wicks would work, but be a little affected. Thought about magazines. Any other ideas?

I purchased this chair online < http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Sienna-Striped-Chenille-Accent-Chair/2084941/product.html > thinking that the wood would be finished with the same green shade, but the picture was deceiving. My chair looks like this: http://i3.tinypic.com/4qe14yu.jpg in my living room. Does it clash? Should I return it?

Also, are there options for refinishing the chair.. like can I stain the wood to make it look more like the Overstock.com picture?

I need help with an accent color (or maybe 2) for my living room...I just remodeled a house and moved in about 2 months ago and I'm still in the middle of decorating. The walls in my living room are sage green, the trim is white, I have cherry hardwood floors, my furniture is a real deep chocolate brown, and my end tables and coffee table are deep brown but the corners of them are marble (the marble is different colors of brown)...I need to know a good accent color that will somewhat BRIGHTEN up my living room because the room just looks too boring and dark for me...maybe like a rug and a good piece of artwork will do the job (because I have nothing on the walls yet), and some throw pillows on my couch and loveseat...I just don't know what colors would go good with sage green and brown! Please help!!! Thanks in advance =)

I have a Heywood Wakefield dresser set that is marked 1950. The one say M539 it is a large 12 draw dresser with the mirror. It is in good conditon. There is a little wear on the top part from stuff sitting on it but thats about it. There is also a smaller 5 draw dresser. It is in good condition. They are both wheat in color.

Please if you have any information on what these might be worth I really need to know. Especially the larger one I can't find it online anywhere.

When you first light a match, all you see is a wisp of black smoke come out of the stick (If you're lucky). But once you blow out the match, greyish-white smoke comes out for quite a while, and same goes for the candle. Why does this happen instead of all the time?
