I just had my house remodeled. The living room floor is this color: http://img.archiexpo.com/images_ae/photo-g/doussie-engineered-hardwood-floor-153500.jpg
but just a little bit lighter. My kitchen is white tile this color:http://www.flooringmania.co.uk/images/Manufacturer/Richard-Burbidge/white_ceramic_43_1.jpg
I need curtains for the kitchen and curtains for the living room. I got rid of all my furniture, so any furniture ideas would help too. My kitchen has black granite counters like this:

and my cabinets are a litlle bit of a darker shade. Any advice would help, and thank you in advance.


          

Can I just use some of my old kitchen pots and pans when i go camping this weekend or do i need to buy cookware that’s specially made for camping. I realize this may be a silly question, but i’ve never been camping before.

According to TWICE , the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approved plans and awarded funding to 50 states and territories for rebates on Energy Star-qualified appliances under its State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program (SEEARP). The appliance equivalent of “cash for clunkers” has been allocated $300 million in stimulus funds, which will provide consumers with rebates of between $50 and $200 on energy-efficient refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers, air conditioners and water heaters. The stimulus effort is expected to boost white-goods sales by as much as 20 percent, industry executives have said. Unlike the auto industry program, trade-ins are not federally mandated under the “Cash for Appliances” effort, although the DOE is encouraging states to incorporate recycling into their programs in an effort to rid the energy grid of old “clunker” appliances.

Monday. The first day of the week, nobody likes them unless they’re in the holidays. Unfortunately today wasn’t a holiday. After twenty precious minutes of snoozing, I got out of bed and made my way down stairs. It was 7:30. Great, I was already late for work. I grabbed yesterdays jeans from the wash basket and threw on my favourite red top, I guess I looked acceptable. As I waded into the kitchen the aroma of black coffee wafted around. Black coffee only meant one thing- Danni was here. Danni was the trainee I looked after 24/7. She lived in the basement of our block of flats but hung around mostly in my domain.
“You need to hurry up Scar. At the rate you’re moving we aren’t likely to get to work before Christmas”
“Let me get my keys and we’ll be off, okay.”
Danni sighed in response, I had to give her a lift into work each morning and so far she had already been told off every day for the last few weeks. I knew she was scared of getting the sack but Thomas would never even consider getting rid of her. Danni not only was an excellent detective but also knew first aid and forensics. Shame I can’t say the same for me.
After five minutes of routing through my black suede handbag I found my keys, as always they were right at the bottom. Me and Danni walked out my flat together and hopped into my mini. We talked briefly about the weekend but most of the drive down town was silent. This was fine with me, my conversation skills don’t usually kick in till gone nine in the mornings. As soon as I got through the door of HQ I was dragged into Detective Thomas’ office. I expected the usual ‘your late rant’ but surprisingly I didn’t receive it
“Good morning Scarlett” Thomas smiled warmly at me but did not offer me a seat which usually means I’ll be heading off someplace. As he rambled on about the weather I observed his outfit, today he was wearing a striped suit with a red tie which read ‘I’m innocent’- how ironic.
“Did you want something sir.” I asked with all the pleasantness I could muster.
“Actually I did. There’s been a shoot up at 74 Asylum Street, I want you and Danni to head down there and take a look at the scene of crime and see what sort of forensics they’ve got so far”
“Right” Like always if anyone was killed it would be me who was sent to find the criminal. I was the only CID detective in our little town.
“Oh and Scarlett, this is not a.not a usual murder. I think you’ll find it different from the others.” Thomas warned me.
I muttered ‘thanks’ and then exited through one of the many doors in his office. After explaining the situation to Danni we both went off to gather up our various pieces of equipment. In my briefcase I took all my usual items; notebook, gloves, bags, handcuffs, CS spray, radios and finally but just as pre-caution my hand gun. So far I’ve never had to use it and hopefully it will stay that way.but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
I met Danni at reception as we arranged then grabbed the keys for the employees van. Asylum Street was rough and my car was new, I didn’t want it getting vandalised as it had been before.

English homework-start of my detective story. Im 13, what do you think .
I have used paragraphed this but i copid and pasted straight from word and the spaces arn’t showing- sorry.

What should I do to it while staying on a low budget.


          

We just got some new knives and they don’t fit in our old knife block. I’m thinking we may need to get one of these. The Kapoosh knife holder holds any knife at any time without the need for special slot. It has rods that allow you to mix and match kitchen knives from different sets or store any utensils anywhere in the block. The rods are removable and dishwasher safe.

HELP. Kitchen Color Dilemma.

I have just purchased a cottage style home with a small kitchen. The cabinetry is honey oak and the counter top is a very light grayish blue. I have just completed removing the nasty orange wall paper and thought I was good to go on my color selection. I was going with Behr Ocean View blue on lower half of wall and Straw Hat yellow on the top half of walls and ceiling. Then I saw this lovely shade of green by Behr called Grass Cloth. I’m torn; I see possibilities with both and my accessories could work with both. Secondly, would my small kitchen look larger with one color instead being bi-colored. Your comments are welcomed.


          

We’ve been covering the first “affordable” home sous vide cooking machine, and are pretty excited about it. We also are very excited about the uber review just published over at Gizmodo . If you don’t know what a SousVide oven is - it offers the product of decades of refinement by top chefs, the SousVide Supreme Water Oven cooks sealed food at precise preset temperatures for consistent cooking, and wonderful flavors. Vacuum-sealed food loses virtually none of its flavor or nutrients during cooking, and the pressure encourages flash marinating, naturally enhancing the delicious tastes and aromas of the food with little added seasoning.
