“HELP! I found out my mother-in-law is planning to come stay with my family for three weeks this summer. We don’t really have a guest room… Just a small library. Any suggestions on how to transform this room from a library to a guest room? There isn’t any room for a pull-out sofa an we don’t want to spend alot on this project.”

“I’m in search of a new rug for my family room. My family uses the room a lot – we watch TV in there, the kids play on the floor, the dogs run through there… I want something nice, but also durable. What materials should I look for? Synthetics? I don’t want to fall in love with something, buy it and find that the rug needs to be professionally cleaned all the time. Thanks in advance!”

“Our house has a basement my husband calls his “man cave”. He is the one to spend the most time there, but occasionally the family and guests are down there to watch movies. He wants to decorate the room in the colors of his alma mater (forest green and gold) and his favorite football team (purple and gold). He’s adamant about the colors, but I don’t see how those colors could possibly work together. If no one ever went down there I wouldn’t care, but I still want to be able to bring friends to the basement and be proud of the decor… Any thoughts on how to make it work?”

“Hi. I live in a small one bedroom condo (600 sq ft) in Arlington. The building is very new, but the living room is small. I have a round glass table table and two custom chairs in the dining area, an Italian leather sofa and a very modern leather chair. I bought a media unit for the TV and to use as storage for books, files, etc., however I find the unit to be too big for the space. The sofa now seems too dark for the room and there is a bit too much leather. Any ideas? Many thanks!”

“Hello, My Husband and I live in a rather oddly shaped condo in Arlington VA and are looking for ways to shape up the living room to be both pretty and functional. Here are the purposes the living room serves currently: – TV watching area, work from home area, reading area, entertaining and eating area. We would like to get a new couch and position so that it’s not blocking most of our french windows that open to a beautiful sun room. There are a couple of pieces of furniture (the ottoman, the wine rack, the Manhattan chair) that we would like to keep. We are at a loss as to where to begin, so any ideas you have would be very welcomed. Thanks for all your help!”

“My Master bedroom has two windows and a King size bed in the middle. Unfortunately, the nightstands are directly underneath these 2 windows. Is it customary to have bedside lamps on these nightstands when the window is right there? They are tall narrow windows.”

“Hi! So I saw on all my favorite design blogs that turquoise is the color for 2010. I was thinking this may make a good wall color for my twins’ bedroom – a boy and a girl. I figured it might be good because it looks good with pinks (for my daughter’s side of the room) and greens (for my son’s side). Are there any good turquoise paint colors out there or would you suggest another color that is fairly gender neutral?”

“I have a quick question. What are the rules about sofa seat height and coffee table height? I recently bought a table and then returned it because it looked too high in front of my sofa. I figured I’d get a professional opinion before making another purchase.”
