Q. Hi i want to decorate my living room. i have a black leather sofa and pine flooring. i love the chocolate/mocho,cream look, but i havent been able to find any room examples on the net of some design inspiration. I also love dulux new range of rich neutrals (cocoa blush, velvet truffle and maraschino) so if you can find any of these similar colours used, or u have used them in your living room, let me know!!!
A. I used a palette of all brown tones in my living and dining rooms and we really love it. its a very warm and earthy feel. cozy and calming. We have dark hardwwod floors. The walls are painted a soft light brown (not beige). The trim is painted a very dark chocolate color ("traditional" by Ralph Lauren). the trim includes window and door frames, baseboards, picture rail in the dining room, beams in the ceiling, and the framing on the accent wall which is made of leather panels. The stucco fireplace is painted a burnt orange/red which really highlights the copper ceiling. The hearth is made of terra cotta ceramic tile. Window treatments are wooden shutters with dark bamboo insets. Our sofa is light tan with bold deep red cushions. And we have a leather wing chair and ottoman by the fireplace. In the dining room we have a large dark walnut pub table and pub stools upholstered in a tan and red stripe. At first we thought the color scheme might be too monochromatic but as the rooms are small, it really helps give the appearance of unity and space to the area. Plus we incorporated a lot of texture into the rooms: leather, bamboo, ceramic tile, copper, stucco. we used red as the only color in an otherwise all brown room as it ties together all the elements nicely--the leather furniture and panelling, the copper ceiling tiles, the dark walnut of furniture and floors, the terra cotta tiles, and all the various tones of brown in the paint and upholstery.We have a couple of contrasting accents in the room: a bronze aztec mask hand painted with turquoise and silver details and a beautiful Navajo carpet that our friends brought back from Santa Fe, which we use as a throw on the sofa. we also have a couple of mexican pots with aloe and yucca in them, and a bronze lamp with amber glass shade.We have kept the accents down to a minimum of color contrasts. Some people have commented that they find the rooms too dark, but we love the cozy and warm/earthy neutral feel that the space creates. Its a great color choice and we feel we will be able to live with it a lot longer than most of the bright trendy colors that seem to change from year to year. browns are classic and timeless.
How can I convince my mom to let my bunny stay in my room?
Q. So, I'm almost positive I'm getting a bunny. But there' s only one problem, my mom won't let him stay in my room let alone inside. We have lots of predators here like raccoons, wolves, coyotes, neighborhood dogs and cats, maybe even bears. He wouldn't live very long outside and It would be such a drag to go play with him everyday, and that's why I want him in my room! So I can play with him all the time! Any Ideas on how too convince her? Thanks for answering.
A. If I was you I would ask for a trail period.She most likely is worried about the smell and the dirty cage. If you ,make a list of the days you will clean the cage and keep your room neat she might let you give it a try. We have had bunnies and they can smell pretty bad if you don't keep them clean.

How can you clean up your room and let it stay that way?
Q. I clean up my room and let's say that it don't really stay that way. I always end up tossing things into the corner, scrambling through papers, floor dirty, and my small table gets junk piled on it. During the morning ,when I'm in a rush for school it stays that way for about 2 days. When I arrive home I don't feel like cleaning. So any help would be useful.
A. Take 5 mins. before you hop into bed and pick up your room. you'd be amazed at what you can get accompolished in 5 minutes! Gather up dirty laundry, trash, papers...etc.. and put them in their spot. Then, when you get up in the mornings, all you'll have to do is make the bed. making the bed makes the room instantly look better.
