1278050494 30 Coffee themed bedroom.................?

Im a 13 (almost 14) and im moving into this house, and my room is going to be rly big, and i want a coffee shop themed room. so far (for ideas) i have:
mocha colored walls
green carpeting (starbuckss)
coffee candles
im going to cover my desk with a table cloth and use a cup mat as the mouse pad
use mugs to store stuff in (ect pencils, random small stuff)
lots of lights
music playing
guitar in the corner (so its sort of like a bistro kind of thing…)
*maybe* a mocha machine
orange curtains
white bed sheets/pillows
posters
hanging beads
pillows on the floor

anymoree ideass? =)

Cool Idea!!!

How about adding a little reading nook with a small bookcase
and comfy chair and footstool with a woven basket for magazines,
kind of like the coffee shop inside Barnes and Noble.

I love all your ideas except for the orange curtains. ICK! Green carpet, orange curtains…. no go for my opinion on that one… I think Lavender would look way better especially with the brown…. brown, green, and lavender look amazing together!!! You can also print pics off Google (on photo paper) and frame them, like a Parisian Cafe, or an Espresso stop in Rome, Maybe the corner Starbucks in London off Gloucester rd., the Cafe Ole in Spain…go for classic coffees from certain countries too! that would be so cute!!!

Try using this too, for when you paint and pick your brown color:
findanyfloor.com/VirtualRoomD…
It's a virtual room designer so you;ll get an idea of what color browns you like and what colors browns you don't like. also, you can match the carpet too.. its fun try it out! icon smile Coffee themed bedroom.................?

Coffee themed bedroom……………..?

1277989444 66 An LMAO joke! Guaranteed roar!?

A painting contractor was speaking with a woman about her decorating job. In the first room she said she would like a pale blue. the contractor wrote this down and went to the window, opened it, and yelled out
"green side up!"

In the second room she told the painter she would like it painted in a soft yellow. he wrote this on his pad, walked to the window, opened it, and yelled
"green side up!"
The lady was somewhat curious but she said nothing.

In the third room she said she would like it painted a warm rose color. the painter wrote this down, walked to the window, opened it and yelled
"green side up!"
The lady then asked him, "Why do you keep yelling 'green side up'?"
"I'm sorry," came the reply. "but I have a crew of blondes laying a lawn across the street.

lol, i like that one.

I think I pissed myself

a little over hyped…but not bad

more like a roflmao type of joke

haha, i figured it was going to be something like that, after the second time, that was definitely a good one.. thanks for the laugh.. have a good day.. icon smile An LMAO joke! Guaranteed roar!?

There was this blonde who loved to ride horses. she saw this beautiful horse and mounted it. she was riding along till she felt herself slipping off. she tries to grab the main of the horse but cant get a grip. then she tries to throw her arms around the horses neck but she is still slipping. then she tries to jump off the horse but her foot gets stuck on the stirrup. so now the horse is riding along dragging the blonde with her head banging the ground. she thought she was going to die till out of nowhere the Wal-Mart greeter came out and unplugged the horse

That's a good one!

hehe thats really good

lmao
You slammed that one!
still laughing!

An LMAO joke! Guaranteed roar!?

 Decorating Tips for Outdoor Spaces From Leslie Segrete, Home Improvement Expert

Leslie Segrete is a home improvement expert with an eye for design and the skills to get the job done. You’ll probably remember her from TLC’s Trading Spaces and while you were out.

Well, today Leslie is here to discuss tips and tricks for creating a fresh look for an outdoor living space this summer — no matter what the budget or home aesthetic.

1. how do you decorate outdoors for summertime? What’s the most important thing?

LS: Whether you have a patio, deck, backyard, or terrace, there are many ways you can easily transform your outdoor space into your own oasis. No matter what your budget, you can create a fresh look this summer, and the easiest way to modernize your outdoor space is to update your furniture. It’s essential to look for items that can withstand the weather. Today’s marketplace features everything from rugs, lighting, fabrics, and decorative accessories all made to be used outdoors.

2. tell us three great tips for creating a fresh outdoor living space on a small budget? 

LS: Outdoor lighting is a wonderful way to brighten up your outdoor space so you can enjoy it day and night. Outdoor lighting doesn’t have to cost you a bundle; choices can range from simple twinkling lights for about $4 a strand or decorative lantern string lights for around $10 to landscape lighting for under $80. Landscape lighting is a great way to feature stand out items in your yard from a great tree to an arbor or a seating area.  you should combine different levels of lighting when adding landscape lighting; utilize up lighting to highlight a tree, down lighting to simulate moonlighting, and overall lighting to illuminate a seating area for after dark fun. some low voltage lighting kits are even do-it-yourself projects. if you’re entertaining, something as simple as multi-color paper lanterns with string lights can spruce up your outdoor area dining area when draped under your umbrella or pergola. we even have simple white twinkle lights wrapped around a wrought iron trellis for a festive feature in our yard all year long. 

A fire pit is a fun and comforting focal piece to add to your outdoor living space — and best of all it won’t break the bank. a fire pit can create a central point for a seating area perfect for after sunset conversation and the occasional ghost story. plus, a fire pit is great for one of the classic summer activity of roasting marshmallows and making s’mores. 

Finally, a barefoot and weather-friendly outdoor rug can add a sophisticated yet comfortable look to make your deck or patio more unique. An outdoor rug can also help to create a seating or dining area in an open yard if you don’t have a deck or patio. if you stick to a rug with neutral colors you can add color by accessorizing your outdoor space with vibrant flowers and landscaping.

3. if you have a little bit of money to spend, what outdoor decorating updates would you recommend for summer? 

LS: if you have some money to spend and you’re looking to replace that old grill of yours, an outdoor grill in a fun new color is a great addition to your deck or patio. I love to entertain and host large barbecues, so a grill with a large cooking surface is important to me. Kenmore has some really great options for grills. I love the Kenmore red grill available at Sears and Kmart because not only can it cook up to 40 burgers at a time but it also adds a splash of vibrant color to your outdoor space — sure to impress any summer guest!  

However you choose to spend your summer décor budget, make choices that are going to last year after year to maximize your spending, so go for that grill or perennials that will stay with you for summers to come.

4. what simple backyard DIY project can make a big impact for an outdoor living space? 

LS: for an outdoor space, I like to add color in the landscaping. Perennial flowers and shrubs cost more in the short term, but will last for years. Annuals are also a great way to add a splash of color — use them in planters to create a focal point for the space. something as simple as planting a garden or colorful flowering plants around your patio’s perimeter can create a dramatic effect and serve as a visual boundary from the rest of the yard, creating an intimate space that evokes an actual room.

5. what do you recommend for backyards that get full sun exposure? 

LS: one of the easiest ways to add shade to the backyard is to purchase a patio furniture set that includes a table with an attached shade umbrella. on hot sunny days, nothing beats relaxing under a large umbrella while sipping a refreshing iced tea.  

A pergola is another great way to add shade to your backyard with out feeling too closed in. I love this Curved Steel Pergola from the Country Living collection at Kmart.It’s great because of the built in fabric panel that allows for a fun but functional decorative detail.

You can also plant shade-providing trees to your outdoor space. They will grow to become an amazing feature in your space but also help to lower energy costs in your home during the summer months by reducing the amount of heat being cast onto the home itself. 

6. What’s your must-have product for outdoor entertaining?

LS: The most important product for your outdoor space is comfortable seating. whether it is for outdoor dining or simply relaxing, your outdoor space is an extension of your home and should be a place to relax. Outdoor furniture has come a long way; treat yourself to comfortable seating with plush cushions. The best part is that it is actually affordable. Then when your budget allows layer on the decorative items that really show your true personality.

7. tell us your idea of the perfect backyard summer evening. 

LS: After a fun-filled day chasing after our 2-year-old son, we love just relaxing. that is, of course, after the water table, slide, kiddie pool, and every toy we just had to have outside have gone night night. my husband and I just love sitting in our backyard with our twinkle lights, watching the fireflies and enjoying the fragrant summer breezes. okay, maybe there’s a glass of wine or two involved. we usually only last about an hour or two after our son is asleep before we tire out, but it is those quiet moments together after family fun day that we love best.

Thanks for the great tips, Leslie! 

You can watch Leslie Segrete in action on A&E’s new television series, $100 Makeover. She has been featured as a carpenter and designer on TLC’s Trading Spaces and while you were out. Leslie also hosts home improvement radio show, The Money Pit. Leslie is a mom, seamstress, carpenter, decorator, designer, and professional chef all wrapped up in one very energetic package. She’s a true renaissance woman through and through!

    1277715870 34 Information is Power   My Blog   Review: Lifebrowser

    When you migrate, as we have said before, from a point and click mouse driven interface, to a touch pad based system, it takes a while to get the right way of doing things sorted out, and its at the point that interfaces change, and new companies lead the way, as the established software vendors, having got bogged down in process and procedure get lost in what to do and how to do this.

    Web Browsing on the iPad is such an example, with Safari being the default browse, and to be honest Apple have done a good job with this, however they are allowing other browsers into the App store, and there are a few others such as Atomic Browser, to choose from.

    Website: itsabouttimeproducts.com/Life

    The new Kid on the block is Life Browser, still at version one, and a little bit buggy, the browser offers the user, a new method of browsing the net on their iPad, the interface is very much similar to

    the Safari browser at first glance, however a rather well done Video on the companies website, explains such wonderful ideas as Tab Switching by pressing on the side of the screen, not on a tab on the taskbar. as well as “stacked” browsing, the ability to open up links from a web browser, not in new tabs, but stacked under the existing webpage. A very novel way of managing those pages we like to read later, without generating hundreds of tabs.

    Thankfully, the browser is built on Webkit, which as with Safari and Chrome on the PC, is a fast browser, offering you a lot of speed when browsing, and pages load in the background, while you are surfing/reading the pages you are focussed on.

    With the current lack of multi tasking on the iPad, the apps which allow functions to be done within them, are a real gem, Life Browser does a really great job of this with email, allowing the user to email webpages from within the browser, Tweeting from within the webpage would be a great idea to enhance this as well., maybe linking tweeting on Osfoora, if it has to take you out of the app, Inline tweeting would be preferred.

    The address bar as well as letting you enter the address of the page you are going to, also works as a google searchbar, in the same way Chrome does, and i love this, even showing google suggestions as you search..

    Bookmarks, are saved not as a list, but as thumbnails within the browsers bookmark function, i’d like also to see a similar system to Safari/Chrome and when a new page is opened, a set of most used Websites are shown as mini browser windows.

    All in all, this has the potential to be a very good Web Browser, however as a version 1.0 its buggy, and does tend to drop out a lot during browsing, i’d hpe to see an update very soon, with some additional features and a LOT of bug fixes..

    This browser has the potential to be everyones default, just needs a little more spit and polish.. Worth a look..

    UPDATE:

    I Emailed the Life browser team about the dropping out issues, and was informed with a quick email, that a 1.1 release has been submitted to the app store, with bug fixes in it, so kudos to another tick in the box, getting back to customers quickly, with information, and personal emails, is a top marks in my book, for a growing company, and yet one more reason to give this a try..
