Rug Carpet Cream

What is the proper size for an entryway rug?

My home has stone tiles when open the front door to come inside. On either side of the entry hall is two rooms. One is the formal dining and the other is the office. Both of those rooms have the same color carpet. 20 feet from the front door and straight ahead in the entry hall, is more carpet, same color, but I have a runner on that, since it leads to the living area. I want to know the proper size for an entry rug- also what about color, can I leave it a neutral color like the office and formal dining carpet? The runner has dark blue, cream, and burgandy in it. Thank you.

Just remember that the rug should be long running in the direction towards the room at the end of the entry. It need not be too wide-I think that 28-30″ is pretty much standard.

Rug Carpet Navy

What color rug would go with my living room?

I have a navy blue couch and love seat set and our walls are a beige, light tan-ish color. The carpet is a very light tan color (a little lighter than the walls). I want to put an area rug in the living room with my couch and love seat surrounding it and I just don’t like the idea of three navy blue items being that close together. So any other color than navy blue.

Gold And Silver Necklaces – A Buyers Guide

If you are looking for a gold or silver necklace to wear either on its own or with a pendant and would like to know a little more, this guide should provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision. Necklaces are normally a series of one or more types of link interlocked to make a chain. The carat index is used to measure the purity of gold. This is often expressed by a hallmark consisting of 3 digits engraved into the piece. These commonly range from 375 (9ct – the most dilute) to 999 (24ct – the purest). Silver has a similar index which should also be engraved into the piece. These range from 750 (lowest) to 999.9 (highest). Sterling silver (which is commonly used in jewellery) should have ‘925′ engraved somewhere on it.

Link Types

Silver and gold necklaces are made from a variety of different types of link. Belcher links are normally torus (ring) shaped and interlock at 90 degrees to the next link. Curb Links are the classic shaped link used for chains outside of jewellery. They can either be made flat or undulated. In either case each link joins to the next at the same angle so when laid flat all links can be orientated the same way. Cuban links are a similar shape to curb links but their width makes each link almost circular. Bead links are spheres with a hole bored through to allow a strand to run between them. A spacer may be used to keep the beads at a uniform distance. Rope links give the impression of a single woven strand by interlocking the links into a spiral shape.

Pendants

You may wish to attach a pendant to the gold or silver necklace you are purchasing. The only thing to keep in mind is the type of links used for the chain. If the necklace is going to be worn with a sizable pendant the shape of the links in the necklace are worth considering. You will want to choose a rounded link which allows the pendant to move freely without snagging. One such link is the belcher link. In the event you choose a necklace is not suitable for your chosen pendant, a responsible jeweller should inform you of the reason and suggest a different necklace.

Costs

The price of silver or gold necklaces are generally governed by the purity of the precious metal used to make it and the weight but in some cases designer branding can further increase the price and handmade jewellery generally costs more than jewellery that has been built by machine. As an example, 9ct solid gold necklaces are generally less than £100 where the handmade equivalent could cost upwards of £500. Remember this does not refer to gold plated jewellery (which costs significantly less).

Washing advice for woven scarves?

I have a couple lightweight woven scarves that I would like to wash before packing them up for the winter (should it ever end). I THINK they are made of floss-type string…but it could just be regular string, I’m not really sure, but I feel that they would come unwoven if I washed them in the washing machine. If I hand wash them, what kind of soap would be best? And should I hang dry them or lay them flat?
They are handmade so no washing instructions included :/

hand wash in woolite roll them in a towel and then unroll dry flat

exclusive rugs

Why would he say I could live with him and now pull the rug from under me and I will be homeless.?

I don’t know why I am still involved with him, he does not want to be exclusive anymore. We were out today and he was looking in store telling me how he is going to decorate his apartment all up, and I am going to tenderloin housing clinic to find a shelter to live in. He has 2 bedroom and won’t let me stay but still will fuck me. we are both in recovery from drugs, his choice is crack cocaine and he gets hookers. Should I just disappear from him? It seems he has no compassion for my situation and my dog just died of 12 years.

OMG! You cannot dump this loser fast enough. Go to the shelter and get your self back together. This guy is putting your health at risk by sleeping with hookers than bringing all their crust home to you. He is using you and he’s a douche. Sober up, clean up and move up.

I’m also very sorry about your loss. A dog becomes a family member and it’s very hard to lose them.
Be well.

Art Deco Chinese

I need a home makeover,declutter in a NYC apt.I am willing to be on TV for it,Dose anyone have a connection ?

I am 1/2 of a mature gay couple.My work and collecting is out of controll in the 1 bed room apt deco apartment in upper manhatten,near the Cloisters.I need santuary.I have ming Chinese,American folk art and cast aways as well as abc furniture,too many rugs etc.I am an artist,Costume designer for films.I have a senior dog and a cat.It is all out of control and I hate going home,all I want to do is stick my head under the covers.It affects my work,my mood,my love life,I loved entertaining and now I wouldn’t even get a cleaning person in ,I need help .I have tried ayer or so ago the conventional way,But I thought I would see if anyone knows someone who would be willing to help me reclaim my home and hight lite those things I love rather than have to move because “THE ASHTRAYS ARE FULL”.thanks .I would make a great and willing contestant and I am sure the coop board would be very willing to help.I own the place ,so lets talk about Demo.

One of my good friends was on Trading Spaces. The way she got on was by standing out amongst everyone else. She and her husband were hysterical in their application tape. You have to first get their attention and then make them look at your story/personality and say…”We have to have this person!”

Spice up the story you just told here. Be a “character” , flamboyant, etc…. and humor is a MUST! Shows like Clean Sweep, etc. are about home improvement but are also try to be entertaining. Show them that you can be a great entertainer.

Talk about any “feuds” you and your partner have over your clutter. Talk about the mess. Say things like you’ve lost a shoe and haven’t seen it in over a year or you’ve lost your mate in the mess….something extravagant like that. You hit a lot of key notes in this story…just add a little more and really really really spice it up and make it funny…that is the key!

Oh and don’t just apply for one show, apply for them all. I have a feeling that you can get on one of the shows if you take my advice. You seem to have the personality they are looking for.

Good Luck!!!

Oh, and if they don’t call you right away…don’t give up. Contact them once a week and tell them that your mess is reproducing and taking on a life-form all it’s own and if they don’t come soon……………..(think of something bizarre)

Reportedly his aggregation alien up to 3,000 breadth rugs a ages at the acme of the appeal for Aubusson art deco rugs.

What rug will look nice with black and white tiled floors?

For my interior design class, I have to design a hotel lobby. My hotel lobby will be inspired by the Art Deco time period. Checkered floors were very popular in that time, so I plan to have black and white marble floors. Popular chairs in that time looked like this- http://images.oneofakindantiques.com/182_hand_carved_french_upholstered_chair_1_mid.jpg The walls will be painted an ivory color. What type of rug/what color of a rug would look nice for my hotel lobby?
Wow, thanks for the quick replies. I also want to know what you guys think should be the color for the counters?

I would say don’t even bother with a rug…stick to simple, straight lines, lots of long geometric shapes, red is a great complimentary color. If you do use a rug in the lobby, stick to something thats good for high-traffic areas with a low pile. Mirrors are good also. (not for the floor obviously! ha ha!)
