Does it look warm and inviting? Or cold and museum-like?http://home.aol.com/decorating/photo-gal…

A software that I can decorate my home with it.

A software that I can decorate my home with it.

I don’t know what “Joe” is talking about. You will not get a big fine or get arrested if you do not have a license (unless he knows something I don’t). I am a business owner myself, In fact my husband and I own three different businesses. He has a home remodeling and repair company as well as a money consulting business. And I manage our wedding decorations website at http://www.weddingenrichments.com.
My husband needed to have a contractor’s license to be able to do larger remodels but you are not required to have a business license for just starting a service oriented business. It probably depends on your state. You may need to check with another similar business in your state. Just call them up, ask for the owner, and then ask a bunch of questions until they get suspicious about why you are asking them.
My suggestion:
1. Go to your state’s website (example: www.kansas.gov), register your business name so that noone else can take it and so the government will know when you started your business.
2. Ask as many questions as you can get away with by calling a similar business in your state.
3. Develop you business plan and target market.
4. Find a good accountant and keep track of all your expenses.
5. Provide good quality service and rely on word-of-mouth referrals
… and you’ll be on your way to success!
Good luck! Let me know if you need any more advice!

I want to paint my daughters bedroom not sure about the colors, I want something beautiful.
I tried all the paint co. like Benjaming Moore etc but they don’t really help.
I need a website with great pictures, thanks for the help.

I have a bit of a ‘thing’ for older items. I have alot of brass vases, I love collecting candle holders, I adore the pictures by Waterhouse, brass beds, drapes not curtains that gently sweep the floor. Frames of our family, in contradiction, in black frames with the white inserts which give the impression of the picture either deeper or standing out of the frame, completely comfy lounges that arn’t big and bulky. Furnishings which need to be child friendly/proof…lol…
Childrens rooms. Girls, one who likes pink and princesses the other who leans slightly more in the direction of the gothic side. Boys, one who loves AFL, cricket and now golf. The other Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and small toys requiring imagination.
Finally, we live in a Housing Trust/Public Housing home but have pretty much free reign, we also have a limited budget.
Where would I begin? Any and all ideas: websites, stores, mags etc. Let me know please. I haven’t a clue! lol
Thankyou everyone. =)

We have been remodeling our home and now it is time to decorate it. Everything I like is out of our budget. Anyone have any tips, websites, stores, etc. to get a big look for little money.
Thanks

Decorating-challenged.. need help!

First look at a lot of photos for ideas, and get a sense of what you love. Then narrow it down to a color theme (such as sage green and creme) and a style (such as contemporary). Then imitate what you see in the pictures. Here’s a great site for photos:http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/dc_design_offic…
(I think it looks nice to add a chair rail around the room, and paint the chair rail, trim, doors and bottom half of the walls white or cream, and paint the top half of the walls a color.)
Decorator’s tip: You should use up to 8 variations of your color (blue, green, purple, or whatever color you choose) in the room. Don’t try to match everything exactly and you will be pleasantly surprised with how well everything comes together.
Have fun!

i do not subcribe. but follow whatever falls under my hand. if i need a specific info then i buy the how to do it — small booklet. magazines carry too many advertising to my taste. the best way to follow the renovation trend is to go their annual show — they hold one in every major city — and of course to visit often the major hardware stores– they have instituted “how to do” seminars — try to get into those presentations. hope it helps.
