Accentuate Your Living Room With Contemporary Furniture
Your home will exude a distinctive and very individual feel when furnished appropriately to take advantage of the unique interior architecture and colours of the walls. You should pay particular attention to your lounge, which is the most important room of your home because it serves both as a focal point for family activity and for receiving guests. Hence your living room furniture should be selected with an eye to aesthetic, comfort and utility considerations.
Best bet for Family and Pets
The living room serves as a hive of activity for your family where you can spend quality time together. A young family should be surrounded with sturdy furniture that can withstand the boisterous treatment of small children. Pets, especially dogs, require furniture that is both functional and easy to maintain. This rules out ornamental pieces that are delicate or expensive. Similarly, there should be limited use of accessories such as rugs and decorative lighting. These may be quickly damaged and are essentially difficult and expensive to replace.
Enhancing the Décor
Common furniture pieces that will improve your living area are couches, coffee tables and recliners. Your preferred furniture should complement your drapes and your wall hangings. If you mix and match modern items with classic designs be sure to consider whether they go together in terms of the overall appearance of your living room. You don’t want a room that seems disjointed and cluttered with no apparent theme and lack of attention to how different items are structured. Poorly chosen furniture will result in a room that looks decidedly unappealing, lacking in homeliness or comfort.
Contemporary themes for the living room
As designers resort to innovative creations that are imaginative and artistic, the appeal of classic furniture has given way to contemporary fashion. You can now elegantly and stylishly decorate your living room with modular sofas, abstract light sources and pedestal tables. You can experiment with curvilinear shapes and new synthetic materials like vinyl. Tubular metals and a monochromatic understated colour scheme give modern living rooms a very 21st century edge that is in tandem with the technological advances of this millennium. Instead of the square or rectangular configurations that are a staple of classic designs, contemporary furniture make use of kidney shapes, oblongs, ellipses and S’s that distort the sharp corners of walls and offer an illusion of fluidity. Usually coloured grey or black, contemporary items flaunt style but remain attractive to the new generation of homes and families.
Items to accentuate the room
Often, accent chairs are excellent to furnish bare spots in your living room. They come in all sorts of shapes and can be dainty or daring depending on your preference. When appropriately chosen, accent chairs can add a lovely ambience to your living space. Wicker chairs are no longer a tropical domain and a well-placed chair beautifully complements the rest of your furnishing.
When you tastefully choose your living room furniture, your surroundings will be captivating and interesting. And you’ll be enamoured by your own sense of style!

poetry..room for improvement?I like writing, but I am not sure if I can. Help?
Just like a sparrow,
it flew to my open arms.
I caught it in my hands.
For a while, it was calm.
The songs u sang, the warmth u shared, the love u showered.
The more i look on, the more i feel,
the more i'm Mesmerized.
As time passed,
I think my grip grew harder.
Fearing it would take off if i didn't.
Fearing it would slip by me.
I refuse to let go.
Even a little.
My care for it multiplied.
Till i sometimes thought, i can't live without.
I love, I love.
There is no doubt.
Till i couldn't see.
The hurt i gave, the pressure i applied so unconsciously,
the pain i caused.
If only i had known,
also, the fault is my own.
Struggling, tired, but determined.
It turned, one look, One hard fierce peck.
I felt it stung.
Pain as hell.
Not my hands, not my fingers, not my palm.
i realize..my heart. Like a stab.
Then, i watched it flew.
Away.
Flew by me.
Helpless, aware of my own capabilities.
I am unable to fly.
I tried to catch it back. To retrieve.
But it is so far now.
I look at my hands, and closed it tight.
A fist.
Inside, held the loose feathers..like little pieces of memories.
Inside, carrying together, was the wound.

I just build a 5 feet wide by 7 feet tall bookcase. It is oak, materials were about $120, my time was about 20 hours without finishing, add another 10 hours for finishing. My guess is you are looking at $1,200 for the two, could be much more though depending on wood species and complexity.

Hi Melissa, here's my constructive criticism hopefully it will help you refine your poem (whether you agree with it or not–and that's ok either way).
Writing about writing is tough. It usually comes across as too static and boring (not as bad as poems about writer's block). So from the very start you've dug a hole that you have to climb out of with many readers. Doesn't mean you can't do it, but realize that it's there.
To your poem: (S=Stanza L= Line)
S1 L4: This reads very akwardly. The syntax feels off.
S2 L1: "my pain". This is an abstraction. You are telling us something when it would be more effective if you showed us what your pain meant with a more concrete noun.
S2 L2: "truth" is also abstract but it doesn't bother me as much as "pain" did.
S2 L4: I don't like the dual repetition of truth here between L2 and L4.
S3 L2 & 4: I don't really like the dual repetitioon of love here.
These dual repetitions might work if you carried it through every stanza, but I'd have to see that first to really know.
S4 L4-6: This reads really clunky. You need to smooth this out.
Well, those are my comments. I'm not trying to be harsh with them. I hope that isn't the tone that came across. I like to read good poems, and with some rewrites this has potential–and rewriting is something all of us need with our work to get better(at least it's true with mine).
I hope that helps.
Don't get me started on this topic. Things we have left to do are:
* Pack up everything and move house 800 miles. Yeah, fun.
* Paint baby's room, pull up carpet, lay new flooring.
* Buy everything. I've so far got 3 clothing items for the baby and that's it.
And I have just over 5 weeks left…. aarrrggghhhhh!
My suggestion is to read, read, read other published poets poetry and see how they write. Learn vocabulary, grammar and English structure.
I can see right off the bat you need to learn English structure and vocabulary and grammar. It's then I watched it fly away–not then i watched it flew. Fly away from me–not flew by me-things of this nature need to be rewritten. You'll get the hang of it if you keep at it and study writing. Don't stop just because someone says you have problems–go fix them and be good at what you love. I'm not trying to be mean–I'm trying to help you. I had to start at the bottom with lots of problems and sometimes I have still have problems with a poem so I just work it out. Go for it!
Why not try eBay?
Try running a search for "room divider screen".
I tried it myself and saw some really nice ones.
omg Abby, you are a genius
you should do it, get all the neighbours dogs in to have their own personal indoor piss place
