Louby L

My hsband and I want to decorate the hosue that we are renting and have got permission. We have a lilac sofa and blue carpet, have you any wall colour ideas which would look nice with these and create a warm atmosphere? Also what colours/design ideas do you have for a bedroom? We want to create a sexy boudoir, but not have to bright a colour o nthe walls. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Answer
Lilac and blue then you could create the colours of Provence in your room
picture a Lavender field a warm Summer breeze blowing and white sheers blowing happily in the room and you will have the boudoir of your dreams, paint the walls a warm gold here is a picture to give an idea

You should carry the colours all trough the house to tie it all together in the foyer add a tall glass vase filled with Lavender and hang a nice ornate mirror above a small hall table

How do i find the north, east, south and west of my bedroom?

Claire Dym

Someone told me that the sun rises at East and sets at West, so i researched when the sun is going to rise tomorrow and it says 6.19am, so do i have to wake up that early just to find out what direction it rised so i can work out what direction is what in my room? Does the sun rise at different places each morning?

Has anyone got any way they can explain it to me in simple terms, cos i am a bit confused.. I am in the southwest of the UK?

Answer
Gnomon's answer is just plain wrong.
But you are correct that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
No need to wake up at sunrise, but just go outside in the morning and find the sun. Turn so that the sun is on your right side. You will now be facing north. Simple! Here's a picture of a compass so you can figure out the rest once you know where north is.

At midday, the sun will be overhead, so it will be hard to tell from the sun which way is which.
But in the afternoon, the sun will be going down to the west. So if you turn so that it is on your left side, you'll face north. (in case you oversleep :D)
And it doesn't matter where you live, the sun will still move east to west no matter where you are.
Hope this helped!

about how much will this raise the value....?

kelly10992

if you had to guess, how much do you thing new siding,windows,electrical(not a whole re-wire, just some outlets and a new junction box)new paint throughout the house and new carpeting and flooring throughout the house....how much would you think would raise the value of my home. the home is in northern wisconsin.i know you prolly wont be able to give me an exact answer, so any ball-park idea would be appreciated.
oh yea sorry i meant the new circuit breaker...

Answer
I think it would depend.

We looked at a house (we're in Alberta, Canada) for $250 000. The guy that bought it totally redid it. Tile flooring, new paint job, new carpet, bathroom looked really nice, laminate in the kitchen, etc. HOWEVER I thought we were going to fall through the living room floor, the bathroom I wouldn't have been able to bathe our kids in (less than a foot of room beside the tub), the wall in the dining room was crooked, the laminate in the dining room went one direction, in the kitchen it went another, and the basement ceiling was so low that I felt claustrophobic (I'm only 5'4).

The house we're living in is 100 years old but feels sturdy. It had 5 bedrooms (we just demoed one yesterday) and a huge living room. We don't care that there's no renos that have been done, its a sturdy solid home that'll last us (its on a double corner lot too, with a HUGE garage).

If you have a good solid home with a nice layout and nothing to hid then the above renos you mentioned couldn't hurt. Just remember to not decorate for your style...you could redo the siding the way you like it but other people will hate it and want to change it anyways.

What I would do...give the house a really good clean...if the carpeting isn't beyond disgusting, give it a good shampoo and get an area rug to cover the main area. Paint the walls a good neutral color, hang some pictures, and let the sun shine in. Invest in things like nice towels, a picture, and a shower curtain for your bathroom, new bedspread and such for your bedroom, and curtains for your living room, and maybe even new hardware for your kitchen cupboards.

Watch TLC...you can get a lot of good ideas from those shows!
