Casual Living Room Design Tips
When creating a design for your living room, keep in mind how the living room will be used. A living room with surround sound, for example, will require a particular design in order to get the full effect of that sound. Whether there is surround sound or no sound, a living room should be a room that creates a relaxing atmosphere in which one can read quietly, visit with friends, or any number of things in a comfortable manner.
Consideration of furniture is important. A casual living room will not have stiff furniture that provides no comfort when sitting. That type of furniture should be reserved for waiting rooms at a doctor’s office or school rooms. A comfortable living room’s couches and chairs will be made out of soft, perhaps plush fabrics that invite a person to relax on them. Their comfort will be further enhanced by soft, plush pillows of the same fabric. Some will even add pillows that contrast with the colors of the couches or chairs. This furniture is something that can be relaxed and socialized on in complete comfort.
Flooring is another important consideration for this room. Hardwood floors are very popular right now, yet they do not have to be the only choice. Hardwood is pretty and easy to clean, yet it’s cold. If your home is often cold and you’re looking for economical ways to keep it warmer, carpeting is one way to do that. Carpeting will hold the heat in the room better than hardwood flooring which will make the room warmer longer. This will in turn use your furnace less and your money will be saved. However, if you have allergies to dust or other airborne particles, carpeting may not be a good choice. No matter how often you vacuum, it can be very difficult to get those allergens out of the air. For this type of person, a hardwood floor would probably be the better choice because there will be less fibers in the room to hold in those allergens.
Television and sound system would also be a consideration into your design. If your television is large, it will take a large portion of area in the living room. Alternately, if it is small it won’t take up as much room. Either way, the seating and sound should be surrounding the viewing area at a reasonable distance for both sight and sound. If you have surround sound, you have the advantage of bringing the sound to the seating area. Otherwise, the seating should surround the television at a distance that makes listening happen easily.
Living rooms should be places of comfort. They should be conducive to visiting and mingling with guests as well as watching television. With the listed tips above, your living room will bring comfort and joy to all of its inhabitants.

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.
dont ever use 1 inch roller pile your gonna make a mess always 1/2 inch or lower for very smooth application
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.
Why not try eBay?
Try running a search for "room divider screen".
I tried it myself and saw some really nice ones.
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!
omg Abby, you are a genius
you should do it, get all the neighbours dogs in to have their own personal indoor piss place
you could breed a few exotic birds(the animal kind) and make a few quid
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!
