Questions Area Rugs
my question is about area rug for living room and dinning room?
I have an ajoining living room and dinning room, should the area rug in the living room match the area rug in my dinning room?
rlbendele1:Traditionally there never were 2 rugs the same. Its only since rugs have been mass produced that 2 rugs are the same. So its best to have rugs that look good together, but are different. Many people that are buying their first rug feel uncomfortable with different designs. Just try to think as i... More...
Rugs Direct NOT Direct Buy question about oriental rugs?
Rugs Direct is not the same company as Direct Buy. Has anyone ordered a rug from them? I looked up customer complaints and all I got was the top 500 Companies for good Internet Service and they were one of them. But I'm still afraid to purchase an area rug from them.
Jennifer, that's what I wanted to hear. I got so excited when I read your answer.
Thanks I thought they were reputable.

Can someone help me answer an area rug vacuuming question?
I have a fluffy area rug in my livingroom and I don't have a vacuum to vacuum it. I have a floor sweeper and it doesn't work on it. I really need to clean it off but it's underneath the heavey couches and stuff so i can't take it out to beat it.
I tried sweeping it with my broom but it's a straw broom and it only makes a bigger mess. Anyone have any other ideas?
see my apartment is all wood floors and i only have this area that i bought a week ago, i plan on getting a vacuum soon

Queen Anne house with planked area (Where rug used to be), how do I finish this area?
HI. I have an 1886 Queen Anne. It is a historical home, and, has beautiful parquet floors using 6 woods throughout. The problem is this: When I pulled up the carpeting in the living area, there is the beautiful parquet wood around the outer 24" of the room. On the inside of this, are 8" - 10" (varying) wide planks that go the length of the room, and, are shaped around a bay window. There are cracks between the boards- some are perhaps 1/4" or more. I was told that this part of the floor w

Fake wood flooring questions...?
We're thinking of replacing our living room and dining room carpet with fake wood flooring. And using area rugs. I have a few questions...How noisy will it be? Our living room, dining room, kitchen are all one big space with an open staircase. The steps we'll leave carpeted because that goes right into our hallway upstairs and we can't afford to repace that carpet. We will also leave the flooring in the kitchen. That's either vinyl or lineolum (don't know). Also we have very high ceilings.
mike g:Go with Pergo flooring. it is an excellent lamanite (Fake) wood flooring that will give you the look and feel of real wook but it is cheaper and they do have a type called Silentstep that is the second best thing to capet for sound. as for the puppy Pergo flooring is very stain resistant. i personna...

What is the best vacuum for overall duties?
I pose this question to mothers because you know how important a vacuum can be when you have toddlers and children. I'm trying to find the best vacuum... and I don't care about cost. My house has marble & granite floors, ceramic tile, and wood floors... with area rugs throughout. I've been forever looking for the best vacuum for all my needs.

Speaker Wire Questions?
Okey, i just purchased brand new monster cable speaker wire (MOC XPMS100) for my 6.1 surround sound system. i am using just bare wires now, and have always used it. Ive heard that oxidation can occur, so i am looking to buy banana plugs for my front tower speakers, and pins for my rear speakers. My question is how long does it take for oxidation occur, and if it does, could i just trim the speaker wire down to a part that is not oxidized or will the whole wire be a complete loss? also my rear

Anyone own a Kirby Sweeper? Your opinions on how good it is?
I have researched and researched and bought 3 vacuum cleansers over the past 6 months. From Kenmore canister vac to Dirt Devil Cyclonic Upright. I have all hardwood floors in my home w/ one room being linoleum and only 2 large area rugs. All the vacuums I bought just threw the dirt out the back. Well, I stopped at my parents home tonight, and low and behold there was a Kirby salesman there. After a complete demonstration of what all it could do...I bought it (ouch it was $2,000!) I think I a

How big is the compartment theat holds the dirt in the roomba? I have a large kitchen dining, and living room area that is wood floors and area rugs,no carpeting. I want to be able to start it at night and have all three rooms done by morning. Is this possible? I have a dog that sheds like there is no tomorrow, and little kids running the house and yard all day.
If anyone out there has a roomba and a large open floor plan, please help me.
Also this question applies to the
catsovermen:I have a roomba, and I wouldn't suggest running it in too large an area. I have 4 cats, one long-haired. I haven't had an issue with it filling up nearly as much as it losing power.

Home repair question for all you DIY geniuses?
I have an area rug in my room to cover some nasty paint stains by the door, so obv I cant move the rug..but it prevents me from being able to open my door the whole way .. would a heavy duty stapler work? Anything else I can do besides sanding down the bottom of the door? Cause Im just not willing to do that. lol.

Has anyone ever pulled up their carpet and painted the concrete like on Trading Spaces?
I bought a new home 3 years ago and made the mistake of choosing white carpet throughout the house. 3 years later after raising a rottweiler and mastiff inside, my carpet is trashed!! I can't afford to put down tile or laminate for a little while and I can't do linoleum with the dogs. My question to you....can I pull up the carpet and pad and paint the concrete floor like they do on television? Has anyone done this "successfully" and if so can you offer helpful suggestions as to how to go about
Summer:You Can, But I've Seen It Done And It Doesn't Look That Great. It Can Also Get Expensive Since The Sealant Doesn't Always Work And Will Need To Be Painted A Few Times. I've Heard Of It Being Done Five Times 'Cause It Kept Peeling. I Would Just Keep The Crappy Carpet. Not That Comfortable Either.... More...
shag carpet question?
I want to buy an area rug for my living room. I saw this rug where the strands are different textures. Some are knotted, some are plain, others are thick, while other strands are thin. It made for a very cool looking rug. However, I can't remember what type of shag rug this is called or who the manufacture is. Any help would be appreciated.

Hardwood or Tile?
I am planning on selling my home and I need to take out my icky carpet. My question is, would it be more practical for real estate needs to do Hardwood floors or Tile throughout? I only have a $3000.00 budget for my floors and my house is 1668 sq. ft. I think I am going to use it through the bedrooms too, I can just lay a big area rug down. I am just trying to maximize my property to sell so I can move out of state, and I really want to keep it cheap, but not cheap looking. Any suggestions?
lone wolf and pub:most people who view a house for the purpose of buying it will be scared off if they see a cold tiled floor...a timber floor ( any type) is much warmer under foot and warmer generally, most people will only have tiles in a kitchen or utility room, laminates are a quick fix, but totally impractical i...

elementoflife:I think a nice tan coloured, elegant couch would look nice, with a deep red/burgandy as the accent colour. The area rug you get, as well as pillow covers and throws could be that deep burgandy colour.

What can I do to insulate a basement?
I'm moving in with a friend who is renting a home. And my living room suite will be placed in a corner of the basement. The basement temperature is about 72 degrees F. I live in southwest Ohio and the average summer/winter temp here is about 85-90/10-25 degrees F. My question is, what can I do to insulate that portion of the basement, to keep heat in during the winter? The basement is unfinished and has no insulation. We’re renting, so there is not much I can do far as home improvement goes
Paul Ding:The ground around Dayton is about 56F, so it's not like you need a LOT of insulation. If you seal it up too tight, you're going to be unhappy with the moisture problems you create.
There are probably cracks in the walls. Use aerosol foam insulation to fill them.

Question about baby bumping head?
I have a 7 month old baby girl. She is in the begining stages of crawling, and I put her on the floor to practice. My apartment has hardwood floors, and I have some area rugs around. My baby has the tendency to jerk her head back and forth( it is just something she has been doing for months) and while she was on her knees, crawling, she banged her head pretty hard on the floor. She has a small,dime sized ,light greenish mark on her right temple. Should I take her to the hospital? This is my 2nd
?Pamela?:I think that you know your daughter well enough to know if her behaviour has changed at all. Just keep an eye on her for the next few hours, and don't worry. I think that she'll be fine. Little babies are more resilient than we give them credit for.
Use your own judgement.

HELP Find A Simplified Expression For The Perimeter Of The Rug! CONFUESED? I Will Really Appreciate Your HELP?
An area rug is to be purchased for a room that measures 10m by 8m. The area rug is to be centered on the wooden floor of the room so that the distance from the width of the rug to the nearest wall is twice the distance from the length of the rug to the nearest wall.
a) Find a simplified expression for the perimeter of the rug
b) Find the perimeter of the rug if x=2.5m
Diagram:
Picture a rectangle with another centered rectangle which is the rug. Use x
ck.choy:Solution:
Let the distance of the wall to the width of the rug be x.
Therefore the width of the rug is (8 -x -x) = 8 -2x
legth of the rug = (10-2x -2x) =10-4x
Thus perimeter of the rug P = 2{(8-2x)+(10-4x)}
P = 2(18 - 6x) m
if x =2.5, P = 2( 18 ... More...
house traning my dog and puppy!!?
Okay I know there are alot of questions out there about house training pets. But I feel like none fit my story. I have a beagle she's 8 months. and My boyfriend just got a puppy basset hound. Well we just bought this house and when we moved in the carpet was fairly new, but with my beagle we ended up tearing the carpet out and putting in wood floors because it was bad. SO my beagle finally got house trained a little bit (only some accidents). But now that the puppy is here, she's been peeing EVE

My dog is scared of "hard" floors, how can I help her?
My dog is about 3 years old and we've had her since she was a puppy. From day one, she has been scared of any type of hard floor like tile, hardwood, etc. She always prefers carpeted rooms and this is sometimes a problem because a majority of our house has hard wood floors. She won't even chase her toys into the hard floor areas and i've had to put little rugs in front of her food and water to get her to stand there! My question is basically how do you think I can get her "over" this, so she gr
me:My dog had the same problem with just hardwood floors. For him it was because he slipped once and hurt himself. From then on, he was sure that the floor would attack and hurt him.

Painting a funky room-- with funky furniture... HELP!?

Help please !!! Before I return furniture...?

Any suggestions....Please help...Thanks !
marizinha:definitely play it up with accent colors. an area rug would be great, it sounds like a nice deep red would make a good complimentary color, so choose one with this in it. also get plenty of pillow for the couch in another color, as well as drapery that play off the accent color....

Doggie psychology question...Why does my dog drag throw-rugs out of rooms and downstairs???
JUST HILARIOUS!! What is he trying to tell us???? Please be "logical" and I'm not asking for advice in additional areas...thank you. He doesn't do it constantly AND it's usually when I'm not in the house, but it is a "habit" of his to occasionally go upstairs, into either the bathroom or a bedroom, and pick up the "throw rug", and drag it downstairs. He either leaves it on the steps, or drags it through the doggie door and outside.. Interesting!!!
He is a golden retriever male, age 2
Chalice:As with all areas of dog psychology, it's not really possible to offer an explanation without knowing about 'additional areas'. The reason behind your dog's behaviour probably lies in other areas of his behaviour. I think the fact that he does it when you're not in the house is telling.

Carpet Installation?
Im moving n2 a room w/ concrete floor. I cant build up a frame on it, cant put down carpet glue cuz I dont want it 2b difficult to remove (even if u pull up the carpet, the glue would be stuck to ground), & the carpet tape I am seeing online is heat activated (but even that would probably leave a residue on the ground) and I dont have anything to heat it with.
