Where can I find custom made furniture from the Amish in Lancaster County?

August 31st, 2010

I’m looking for bookcases and other furniture for my bookstore, but haven’t found any I like, so I thought I’d try seeing if I could get the Amish to make me what I need.

Why would a landlord tape foil around the furniture edges next to the walls?

August 28th, 2010

I went to see a house this weekend and in all the rooms where the bookcases etc touched the walls, the landlord had taped foil between the furniture and the wall. We couldn’t figure out why? Damp? Mice?
Does anyone know, or has anyone done the same thing?
Thanks

What's the best way to get rid of unwanted furniture in Chicago?

August 22nd, 2010

I’m moving next month and have quite a bit of furniture I’d rather get rid of than leave… the couch is in real bad shape, but bookcases, desks, etc. are all very usable… Is there some way to donate it and get some dude in a truck to come out and take it all away?

I have a 700 sq ft apartment. Is a 10×10 storage unit enough space? ?

August 20th, 2010

I do have tons of furniture: entertainment center, 2 bookcases, large couch, chaise loung, mattress, bed frame, table & chairs, jewelry chest and then tons of books/clothes, etc.

Thanks for your help!
For those two who have already answered – I listed what furniture I have. Please read the WHOLE question before answering and if you don’t know, why waste my time and others? It defeats the purpose of Yahoo answers to say "I don’t know".

How do I keep my cat off the table, tv, bookcase?

July 27th, 2010

I have a wonderful affectionate male kitten but he’s a little terror. I understand he’s a kitten and will grow out of some stuff but how do I keep him from climbing furniture? He’s knocking over vases, pictures, etc.

He’s finally grown out of the climbing the curtains stage, so I’m happy about that. lol
I’ll try the double sided tape and balloons! Also, I’ll do the squirt bottle when I can since I’ve not done it like I really should. The mist spray is the only thing that works and I can’t always run over to him in time. (my cat likes the shower so water doesn’t bug him unless he gets beyond soaked) He has a cat condo and is allowed on the sofa. I just need to train him on all the other stuff. lol. Thanks for the great suggestions! oh, and I have a girl kitty who is an angel so he’s got a friend :)

How can I change my bedroom subtly to make a big difference?

July 25th, 2010

I have a pretty big bedroom so I have enough room for dressers, desk, bookcase, bed, drum set, and some other table and shelving surfaces. I love the way everything is arranged because I can get around easily and find everything I need.

However, I need change! I used to always move furniture when I was sick of the way the room looked, but I like the arrangement. How else can I make the room a little different? Spice it up? I’m planning on moving my posters into different places (I like the ones I have up), but that doesn’t seem like enough. A change in my room tends to make me want to keep it cleaner and I enjoy spending time in it more.

Thanks for your help!

Can you help me design a nice look for a awkward spot under stairs?

July 18th, 2010

My husband and I are moving to a new apartment. We have fairly large furniture: a sectional couch, 2 large bookcases, a tv w stand, and two thin cabinets with dvds/vhs movies. Our home is decorated in beach decor. I am looking for a good idea of what to do with a small area under the stairs of our new place. It can be seen from the entrance, and I have no idea what to do. We have two small children, so maybe a play area? I would appreciate any design ideas.
