My living room flows into my kitchen and there is a "bar" to separate the rooms. You are able to see into the kitchen so the colors cannot clash. My dilemma is what two colors will go well together or should I pick one color and do different shades? I have a rich brown, comfy couch in the living room with brown furniture and a neutral carpet. The kitchen has dark cabinets and counter tops, light floors, and the appliances are white. The kitchen table is glass and dark metal. Hope that helps!
Thanks!

is there any kind of website i could go to to see a list of cool stuff I could add to my room/man cave. I’m trying to make really awesome for me and my friends.

I just want a list of ideas of things (furniture, entertainment, etc) to add to my room.

When I google stuff involving mancave all I get is a bunch of crap about making a bar in my house and stuff. Im 16 so cant really do that

I going to start a web site .. and its going to be a price review website … it will contain all kinds of market stuff such as Computers,Furniture,Restaurant,Vehicles,Mobile phones etc.
The latest market price of product will be added to this stuff daily.And i need a good domain for that.The name should be a latest and should perfectly match to my site,Do not go to any domain registry sites and see weather its available or not .. just suggest me some good names for that
Eg: hitad.com prices.com .. like this ….
its better the name contain maxium 5 letters

My cabinets are oak but were white washed by the previous owners in the 90s. I hate the white washed color because they get grimy and filthy and when I try to clean them it rubs off the finish. They are looking pretty gross now. I would like to have them refinished to a mahogany color.
I’ve had three bids now. Two companies claim that they can just clean them up and put toner OVER the white wash color and gradually stain them to a mahogany. They are not going to use stripper. One company is going to do a bit of sanding and then build the color over the white wash for 00 (which seems a bit high) but the other will just put the toner directly over the white wash with NO sanding for around 80. I have this other guy who refinished my deck and did a nice job and I gave him one of my cabinet doors to experiment on (he’s never done cabinets but has refinished lots of furniture and decks). He used stripper to get off the varnish and most of the stain, then lightly sanded to get the rest of the white wash off. Then he stained them with a mahogany color and sealed it with polyurethane. I haven’t seen the finished product yet, but he says he’s confident that he can do the job and make it look really nice. He’s willing to charge 00 for the job.
Which of these methods sounds the best? I just want my cabinets to look really good. I want the wood grain to show through and don’t want it to look painted. I also don’t want anything to peel or come off.

BEST ANSWER 5 STARS, thank you! )

Long story short, about a month & half ago my ex & I reconnected.. He looked me up, pursued me & we started talking again. In this instance I felt it was worth a try (the reasons we had broken up are reversible) & would regret it more if I didn’t try.. We had dated over 3 years & were broken up for a little over a year. I dated a couple people, he dated one person during that time. Anyway.. Just before we had gotten back together in May, it was "in the works" that his best friend (who works for his landscaping business) would move in with him into a house to rent (my bf had been living w/parents as rent is high around here). I am 24 & he’s 23. Right now, they (including his uncle who is the landlord) are renovating the small house, putting in new flooring, painting, new outlets etc. When we talk on the phone, i hear of all the neat things they’re doing to it. I’ve yet to be invited to come over to help, watch etc. I will be very honest: I am jealous that his friend gets to see him every day at work & now will live with him when renovations are done soon. I feel in a way that he’s taken my place. He is my competition. They are attached at the hip. I am lucky to see my boyfriend once or twice a week. And NO he is not gay, he is as straight as they come before anyone suggests that lol. I’m feeling really awkward about the situation but I don’t want to come across as the clingy, jealous girlfriend. His friend is getting to be part of a fun, new experience (getting a new house ready, picking out furniture to buy, etc) and I am not involved with the new place. I work full time but I’m still stuck at home, because I wouldn’t be able to afford a place without a roomate(s). Haven’t found anything yet. Anyway, the core of the issue is I just feel crappy how his friend gets to see him so much/do a lot with him. I feel left out and kind of like the third wheel. I usually have to wait til his friend leaves on a weekend to see him. I do believe we love each other but I also feel like I may be taken for granted.. How do i make it clear I need to be seen more & be more of a priority? How do I feel less jealous of his new roomate? I feel as though I am being pushed aside & it’s not a good feeling.. its like he’s trying to leave the single life but have me on the side (his friend is single & likes to hang out at bars some, kinda immature).. but yet he had pursued me for many years & acted like he loved me.. Any thoughts/input appreciated a ton.. basically it just feels like the roles are literally reversed.. I am the friend he hangs out with now & then, and he’s the girlfriend w/him 24/7 lol.. :-/ Thank You for help!

in the rental unit we live in we have this gloomy off shade of white and we hate it! landlord does not want us to paint. i would like any decorating advice for the living room to cover up or distract from the walls. there are no windows unfortunately but there is a sliding glass door for the deck on one side. we don’t currently have much furniture either but would like to get some if anyone has a good color scheme idea to help with our problem. thank you all impute is appreciated.

I was just at a hotel bar in Spain, I’ve been staying here 10 days. I’ve bought drinks there before. Which were btw disgusting, and the guy is always angry. So there were a lot of people there and I was thinking of buying something but then I decided to just get a thin plastic cup and get something from my friend who had already bought a bottle there. I was going to ask him but he was busy assisting people at the bar, and had been for over 15 minutes. So I grabbed the glass, which was over the counter we were sitting by but it wasn’t low down or anything, they were stacked pretty high. Then I go to walk over to my friend. And the guy, who didn’t even bother to even look at me as I’d been waiting to be served for 15 minutes, stopped helping all the people ordering drinks to yell at me in Spanish. Everyone at the bar turned around to look at me too. He looked super angry and was gesturing for me to come back, and when he started yelling, I was on the other side of the room about to leave. So I start walking back and he keeps yelling at me and takes the plastic cup all angrily and I just walk away.

I’m a guest here, in a room where the air conditioning doesn’t work, paying God knows how much for this hotel room, and paying separately for breakfast. It’s not a fancy new Hotel or anything, all the furniture is old and worn out. He’s seen me many times, he knows I’m a guest. It’s not like they were running out of plastic cups, and even if they were, it’s not even nine yet and everyone’s yet to order so they’ll be in trouble tonight anyway. Is it normal for Hotels to be this cheap?

It’s prepaid through a travel agency

Everyday I have pigeons flying over my property…to get to her house and they sh!t all over my house, deck, grill, furniture…she knows this happens but she is a crazy animal lover and still feeds them. No joke there are about 75-100 pigeonss flying over at one time…I cant even sit out there becasue you will get nailed by a bird dookie.
The town says that as long as she puts the food in feeders they cant do anything….she does that but has about 20 feeders!
Whats scares birds off?
next step is sneeking over at 3am and sprinkling rat poison in the feeders!

I purchased an outdoor resin wicker patio set and it is unravelling. It is just over 1 year old. I would like to know where to purchase binding to replace the cracking binding. I will not be able to use the furniture without repairing the binding. Please help. I spent a lot of money on this set and am very disappointed as the manufacturer will not honor the warranty saying it was only rusting and fabric that they cover.

I broke up with my fiance 5 times over the past 5 weeks.
We recently started a business together and have promised to be professional in spite of a break up.
He lives in my home and all his clothes and furniture are here.
His children’s furniture and clothes are here (sees them once a fortnight).
He always promises to change and begs to try again but i’ve reached a point where i want a better or at least a peaceful future.
I have terrible insomnia due to stress and anxiety arising from problems in our relationship.
I enjoy many of life’s simple (boring) pleasures and he enjoys smoking weed.
We work hard during the week and by the weekend when we have time together all he wants to do is go and get stoned.
After 3 months of arguing about this he has promised to give up.
I feel i have given and given and given and not received enough in return.
The result is i have put my life and happiness and peace aside to curb arguments – i have become a quiet creature only crying out for help when it all gets too much.
We are both wonderful people.
On occassion i have been afraid of him as he beat me quite severly once when he was drunk.
He had no recollection of this once he sobered up.
It took me 18 months to find my voice after that as i was afraid of angering him although he has not had a drink since.
Instead he turned to weed because he can’t drink.
He has distanced himself from my family ever since his drinking and weed problems emerged and slowly i have distanced myself from his children.
My want to put effort into saving our relationship has diminished to my need to rebuild my life.

My question is this – although he has promised to quit smoking and beg for forgiveness to fix our relationship and dedicate himself to saving us… why do i need to raise the bar and ask for more and still feel it may not be enough?

This dog only comes on the porch at night or during the day when no one is there. We don’t want to use any kind of spray on the furniture. The dog is not tearing the cloth, but making it dirty. Everytime we go to relax on the porch, we have end of cleaning it off.

I have an apartment connected to my house, but they are only connected from a laundry room, the apartment has its own entrance, the apartment has 1 bed room with a lot of space, enough to have a comfortable living room in, 1 kitchen with sink, stove, refrigerator, and a dish washer, and 1 extra room for an office or whatever you would like, a full bath room with a big closet, it also has a full deck with furniture on it. it isn’t going to be furnished completely but it will have a futon and 1 desk and kitchen table.
it is around 1000 square feet
it will have wifi (if that matters)
it is about 14 miles from a major city and about 7 miles from a medium sized town
it is very quiet and the apartment has a view of a pond.
how much do you think i should charge a month?
-thanks

My husband and I are having an issue as to how to handle our friend’s children when they come to our home. We have no children and are not planning to have any. Many of our friends have kids and bring them along when they come to visit. Most of our friend’s kids are very well behaved but there is one couple friend of ours whose son is just awful. He will not listen to anything. His mom carries those mini chocolate bars in her purse and is giving them to him constantly while he is in our living room. He then proceeds to wipe his chocolate covered fingers all over our furniture. He plays our Wii all the time and holds the remote like two inches from the screen and doesn’t wear the wrist band (he has almost broken our television doing this). Last week, they came over and he was playing with an expensive vase that had been a gift from my grandmother. His mom didn’t say anything so I asked him to please put the vase down so he gave me this look and then dropped it on the floor; shattering it into a million pieces (btw, he’s 3) and his mom just looked over at me and said "Oops; sorry". My husband said something to her about it and she got totally offended and said "That’s just the way kids are; if you had any, you would know that". She told my husband that we are not supposed to be "parenting" her son. I didn’t think we were but are we not allowed to make rules in our own home? When we go to others’ homes, we follow their house rules and behave respectfully. Now, my question is; were we in the wrong here?

I have a kitten that stays outside and for some reason she is pooping on the furniture on the porch.There is no way to keep her off the porch so how can I teach her not to poop on the outside furniture?
