Creating an Autumn Centerpiece
 by Richard Bedsole
For years I`ve taught people how to glue foam into containers before they begin their arrangement. Now I`m going to tell you that you don`t need the foam. Heck, you don`t even need the container. It really depends on the function of the arrangement.
Let`s say you`re having a party. You have to decide banquet or buffet. Then the menu, then the wine, then the china, flatware, napkins, place cards, seating arrangements for the guests and a whole list of things from soup to dessert. But what about the centerpiece?
I`ve seen dinner parties where the guests struggle for conversation while peering through the flowers in an oversized centerpiece, only to have it snapped from the table and placed elsewhere. That is our focus ....

Need Wall Color Idea
Posted by: Janet
I have a brown/black sofa, oak/glass tables w/iron legs/; and a beige chair, plus a black/glass wall unit. My problem is coming up with a color other than "white" or "beige" for the walls. It is a large room with a 9 foot wide picture window, so it gets alot of light. The trim is oak or pine, the floor is oak pergo. The warm has a cold feel. I want to warm it up and bring it to life with some color. I recently bought a paint with a chocolate milk color, but it looks too much like the same color in my adjoining kitchen. Any thoughts?

Butterfly Themed Room
Posted by: Jazmi Banks
I am a 16 year old girl and just recently got my own room after sharing with my younger brother. We've been in the house for about a month now and my room is still not the way I want it. The walls are still white,I still have boxes all over the place and the room isn't that big. I'm really into butterflies and wanted to display this all over my walls. Can you give me some ideas to make my terrible situation a little bit better and that I'm capable of doing? It would help out a lot. Thanks.
