I have walnut and cherry furniture. Will soon have dark wood flooring, and I love warm colors. My husband likes blue. I don’t care for the gray tones at all. My couch and loveseat are dark brown, and the recliner is dk brown leather. Lamps are bronzy in tone. This walkout basement room is very large with a large window.
Thanks Dilbert. I have found some amazing throw rugs online that have all the colors I want to work with. I’m going with basic tan walls with blue accents. I have some framed collector prints that are beautiful. Now lets hope I can talk the hubby into taking the huge elk head off the wall over the mantel. ;-) Wish me luck.

I have looked at JCpenney, Ikea, Sears, Macy’s Haverty’s( too expensive) Ashly’s. I am looking for a queen bed in the range of 400-600 dollars just for the bed price. I like dark wood. I don’t care if it is not a big name brand, I just want a nice bed.

I know that ? sounds bad, but I have agreed to take in my grandsons, Uncle, and we have already spent over $500 on credit cards to prepare for him (painting, furniture, renting storage, travel, needed county documents..). Things are really tight already, because I am raising my grandson with no support. I am just hoping it will be enough to cover his expenses.

<:)))>< asked:


Hello all!

I have a leather desk chair that I got a used furniture store and I purchased a bottle of Leather Lotion for it.

I was starting to put away winter clothes when I found my father’s old leather jacket. He says that the leather is supposed to wear so that it ‘flakes’ a bit but to me, it just looks old and dry…

A chair is at least a large, stable object that I can work on with a cloth but a Jacket seems like such a bigger task having to lay it out and make sure I don’t miss any parts.

So I guess my question is:

1. Will Leather Lotion (Kiwi Brand) work on a coat.
2. Can I just rub the lotion on in patches, i.e. first one sleeve, let dry, then the back, let dry… etc. then buff it all with a shoe brush or will letting the different parts dry between applications cause problems?

I have polished shoes before but never something as hard as a whole coat.

Any help in regards to proper leather care would be appreciated.

(I learned how to do shoes from a woman called Pony Girl that had actually won an international boot-black competition… But I lost her card so I am turning to you! LOL)

I am doing a project in health called baby cost analysis. We are trying to find out how much it costs to take care of a child for the first year of life. I need a few ideas of what to put in. (like what foods, how many diapers you use, how much you spend on clothes that year, what furniture you buy, etc.) If you could help me out I would really appreciate it! Thank you!

NONAME asked:


I would like to find something that doesn’t make me itch and will not color fabric. I am wanting to be able to spray on furniture or on clothes as well. Well, and of course use in my washer and/ or dryer. I don’t care about rinkle release, but I would like something that smells good-just not strong. Thanks in advance!

This furniture was left to me by my mother and was left in her home for the last 2 years with little or no care. The brand is Drexel and is about 60 years old. It has mildew spots all over. I have used Old English lemon oil but the spots still remain.
