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!

I hate the site of the kitchen in the living room and and the appartment should have the dinning rooms separate from the kitchen . I think it’s cheap planning and construction. I live in Orlando Fl.

Okay so I have lived here since I was in head start…I am now on my second year of college…In 2003 we moved out our old house and moved a new one in to the exact spot the old one was…I never noticed anything weird go on until recently. Here a just a few things that I have noticed happen within the last few months:

One night my friend and I were watching a movie and it was about midnight, maybe one in the morning, and this extremely bright light came from inside the kitchen. It was storming that night and we thought maybe it was just lightning we seen but it only came from one spot and we would have seen that light come from the window behind me and the one beside my friend if it was lighting.

Another incident that happened was my mom was standing at the kitchen sink, I was stand in the middle of the kitchen at our island, and my sister was sitting at the counter on a bar stool. My mom looked up and in my living room (diagional to my kitchen) we have this picture of a old man and a little boy fishing and my mom said that she seen a head in the picture and it moved like someone walked by.

Another night my friend and I were walking through my kitchen and at a certain spot we both got goose bumps (cold chills) but it wasnt cold in the house. So we walked on through the kitchen and then went back to that spot and we got the goose bumps again. We checked and there wasnt a draft, no air was blowing, and the window wasnt open.

And the most recent thing happened today, my mom was doing laundry and she told me one of my socks was missing. She did wash both of them but she didnt know where one of the socks went. So later on I went to the front door and opened it to feel outside and to look for my dog and when I opened the door I looked down and my sock was on the front porch. I went to show my mom and she said she would swear on a bible that she didnt put the sock there to scare me. And we knew it was the right sock because it had the same smell as the other freshly washed sock.

Some little things that have happened are:

T.V. went off and came back on…it did that twice one day

When the computer screen is black (because it hasnt been used for a certain amount of time) it will for no reason just go back to the desk top

We have a water cooler and it sometimes makes the bubbling noise that you hear when you use it…when no one is using it

And I have walked into the kitchen at night and think that I have seen a person standing in my family room and I have to do a double take to make sure no one is there

So what do you think? I mean are there any logical explinations for these things that have happened? if you do think that my house is haunted then what would be the best way to communicate with the spirt so find out who it is? Sorry this was so long and thanks for taking your time to read it!

P.S. my grandparents (both are now dead) used to live at the house on a hill like 500 foot away from my home…and they both used to come down to vist us a lot…do you think that if my house is haunted its one of my grandparents?

Once again thanks!
If you’re just going to waste my time by making me read your stupid comments please dont bother even asnwering. Thanks

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 would like to buy a new recliner chair for my living room and would like know which is the best, and the best value? I would like it in cloth not leather or vinyl. I like that ultra suede.

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?

My friends at school are poor but I feel like I’m just middle class. Do you think i’m rich? I’m a 16. My dads a manager at a pretty big company and my mom is a doctor at the local hospital. There salary together is maybe 0,000 a year which is enough to pay for the bills. We live in an average suburban house in a nice town in california. It has 5 bedroom 3 bathrooms and 3 floors if you include the basement. We have some antique furniture’s. we have 3 flat screens and 1 google TV. My mom drives a 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 my dad drives a 2010 toyota prius, and my sister drives a 2009 Audi A8. We all have are own laptops that our all new. My dad did have our basement re-done nice with a flat screen,nice couch,pool table,a ps3,and bar area. we have a wii in our living room as well. also I go to public school and my sister works in a local strip club.

I’m getting my first apartment! I have decided to do my bathroom in a frog theme but need help with the kitchen. Everyone I know has either fruit or roosters so I wanna stay away from that. I wanna do my living room in black and white cuz I have lots of family pics I could easily print in black and white.

I like clean, neat lines and order. if that helps? I have the rachael ray cookware with orange handles but dont want that to affect anything cuz I dont want it to be halloween in there all the time.

I need something cost efficient cuz I have NOTHING! Still saving so think cheap. Need more info let me know.
the appliances are white…cabinets are darkish brown and the counters are like off white/cream

I LOVE this outdoor living room set I saw..it will go underneith a patio. Where I live it doesn’t rain much BUT my dogs pee on everything. Is it possible that I take off the cusions and, maybe, spray paint it with a clear gloss to protect the ‘weatherproof’ wicker?

Left wall to neighboring townhouse

Back wall to my living room with double French doors
Screened porch below
Angled 1/2 glassed front wall
Modified large triangle 23 x 10 with a SW exposure

I – and my plants – would like to make this a 4 season room instead of a 3 season room! We now use an oil filled radiator just to keep it above freezing.
wood floor – NOT TILED – At least not yet!

I hear there are new modular units that can be put down under tile or wood – has anyone used them?

I have a set of expensive wicker living room set that needs to be re-upholstered. Does anyone know roughly how much it would cost for a large sofa, a love seat, and two chairs? I just need a rough estimate and if anyone knows, could you possibly recommend a good place to get it done as well? They’re in horrible shape & over 21 years old.

Thanks so much!

I had the light in my kitchen on for approximately 45 minutes. It is a ceiling fan light with three different light bulb fixtures. We only have two light bulbs in two of the fixtures though. I was in my living room and heard a shattering of glass. I came into the kitchen and saw that the light bulb base was still screwed into the fixture but there was no glass on it.

I do not understand what this could mean? It kind of worries me. Please help.

I have no idea about Interior design or architecture, just looking for common parameters for a big 4 bedroom house with kitchen, dining, living room, den etc.

I buy the furniture, pay storage, movers, my fee. The inventory costs between 5-6 thousand (full living room set, master bedroom set, dining set, possibly patio). No other staging services in my central Florida metro area that rent furniture.
