I am going to be decorating my new apartment soon and i need paint ideas. I am allowed to paint the apartment. But it is really small but still cute. It is a 1 bedroom/ 1 bath….with a kitchen and living room and a dining room that is really an extension of the living room. What are some ideas or places i can get ideas. I am also on a strict budget, but my mom offered to pay someone to paint for us:-)
I want to make it look bigger:-)

This is the 3rd time I’ve posted this question! If you have any advice please answer!! =)

My husband and I are thinking about relocating soon. We already have a 1 yr old son and about to have our 2nd child. We live in deltona (just between orlando and daytona.) The crime, schools and drugs in this area are getting really bad. All of my family lives in this area so I wouldn’t want to go too far away-maybe 2 hrs at most?! I’d rather not move any closer to Orlando or Daytona though. What are my options? I’m looking for a safe city, good schools, decent job opportunity, and some restaurants/shopping centers, etc…
Any suggestions? What about Leesburg??

I’m getting married in less than two weeks, and we decided we are going to take my apartment until we can afford to buy a house. How can I decorate my apartment filipeno style? My fiance is filipeno and its kind of important to me that our place will be decorated in that style.

Also i want his mom to be happy with our house, and that will probably not be easy to do! She has never seen my place and I want her first impression to be a good one! Please tell me what I need….I know I need lots of plants, and candles, what else?? Please help! Thanks!
I am american but my fiance is half filipino thanks monterey143!

okay so im about to cry. i don’t know what to do
i’ve dated this guy for 9 months now. i’ve never felt about anyone the way i feel for him. i know he’s the one. i love him to death. the very thought of losing him brings me to tears. and its a mutual love. now he’s almost perfect. only one flaw…he’s not a stable guy. like he doesn’t have a profession. i’m not a gold digger thats the last thing i worry about a guy. i know money doesn’t buy happiness. im not looking to live in a mansion or a house. i just want an efficencie or a small apartment. when i marry him. i have a certification as a medical secretary. he has nothing just his highschool diploma and he has had many jobs. but never a stable job. most of his jobs last months never years. that scares me so much its the only thing that keeps stoping me from marrying him. he’s pretty cheap or like he likes to call it “thrifty”. im not a big spender i just buy what i need and rarelly what i want. should i go back to school and study to be a nurse or should i stick with living a hard knock life from now to the future.
he’s always coming up with new ideas like selling water and gatorade at the beach, which he did, i helped him design the cooler.
now he wants to open a business cleaning houses in miami and wants me to help him. now my family allowed me not to continue college if i promised them i would not clean houses for a living. cus when they came to america thats what they did.
he worries me so much he’s 23 and isnt’ professionally stable

Okay so i have just installed the sims 3 but still really wanna play the sims 2
I have the sims 2 and the following expansion packs:
•”The Sims 2 University”
•”The Sims 2 Nightlife”
•”The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Open for Business”
•”The Sims 2 Family Fun” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Glamour Life” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Pets”
•”The Sims 2 Happy Holiday” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Seasons”
•”The Sims 2 Celebration” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 H&M” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Bon Voyage”
•”The Sims 2 Teen Style” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Free Time”
•”The Sims 2 Kitchen and Bath Interior Design” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The SIms 2 Ikea Home” (A Stuff Pack)
•”The Sims 2 Apartment Life”
•”The Sims 2 Mansion and Garden” (A Stuff Pack)
And now every time i try to play the sims 2it doesnt work.
I deleted all my custom content (i had alot!)
And uninstalled a few other games on my computer
(My sims, rollercoaster tycoon 2 & 3, Zoo Tycoon and 2 expansion packs)
And surely there must be enough room for it to run now!
But when i play the game it loads to neighborhood (quite quickly actually) and then i can make a family on create-a-family but everytime i try to move my created family into a lot or click on a lot it loads then just as it has finished loading a box appears
Saying:
‘application crashed. the application will now close’
Its so annoying i also deleted my neighborhood and all the neighborhoods and sims on other users.
Has anyone got any ideas?
Please help.

okay so its the first time im moving out. im 20. girl. i got a pretty sweet deal. but i have no idea what to do with it? where do i start? how to make the things match with the furniture? i don’t think i was blessed with the gift of design but i really want my place to look awesome… any tips? websites? anything…
Thanks

My husband and I live in a small apartment with a small living room. It is rectangular in shape. We have too much furniture and it’s all too big. The problem is that we have lots of DVDs and cds, as well as books. So if anyone has brilliant ideas for furniture for a small living room, I’d greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
