to use the shells? I already have shell mirrors and shells in candles. What are some other projects I could do with them that wouled make my house look pretty and beachy?


Answer
Aside from routine mirror perimeters, you can glue shells on any shape, painted/papered backboard with a hole, and make it into a clock. If you carefully drill holes into small shells, you can sew them onto lamp shades. I have seen strands of shells used as curtains or dividers. Simple shells glued around the apron of a table would be interesting.

I am redesigning our den area. I want to make it modern, with a beach feel. How can I do this?

I have picked out a lot of black modernish furniture. But how can I add the beachy feel? The black furniture goes with some of our other furniture in our house, but not entirely. I am really trying to stick to IKEA.com, so if you have some ideas, that'd be awesome!


Answer
1] carpet in sand, or sea blue
2] walls in sky blue, with clouds, maybe?
3] upholstery in sand [ yellow beige ]
4] hang up a seagull mobile
5] palm tree standing lamps
6] seashell ornaments and knick knacks [ planters, bowls,
candle holders ]
7] beach towel covered throw pillows
8] sheer curtains in white or sky blue
9] collect old metal [ antique, or just used ] coolers to use as end and coffee tables. If you can't find one big enough, use shipping crate and decorate it like crates in Castaway.
10] paintings of ships or beach scenes

Where to buy a lamp with a base that unscrews so it can be filled with whatever?

zak's 5th


Years ago my parents bought end table lamps for their beach house. The bottoms unscrewed and they filled the lamp with seashells and driftwood. No one can remember where the lamps were purchased and I have looked in all the locals for some such but no luck. (Michaels, Pat Catans, Lowe's, Home Depot and discount dept. stores.) The only thing I can find are the kits that include a mason jar. Any help would be appreciated.


Answer
I just saw one yesterday at the local thrift shop. But if you don't live in the Twin Cities, you may have to order online.

beach house table lamps image






we have a small house that is very cluttered, i need to find a good conveinient way to sort out and organise my room. i need storage ideas etc.


Answer
First: get rid of everything that is too small. too big, too ugly, or you don't use - doante whati is in good shape, toss trash.
You need four main areas:
1] sleeping - a pretty, comfy bed to rest/reax on, with a nightable/bookcase/table for clock and reading lamp
2] study -a desk, bookcase, comfy office chair for homework/study/projects. put all current textbooks/notebooks on top shelf for easy access; any desk drawers with
#a - pens/pencils/stapler/marker/clips/markers
#b - notebook paper, graph paper, printer paper
#c - completed projects that will come in handy for future ideas! [ good grades only!] ; any correspondance
3] dressing - closet with shlf dividers, left to right;
#a - winter accessories - hats/scrarves/gloves
#b - stacks Tees, sweats, or sweaters
#c - handbags - stacked bottom down, end out like books
#d - summer accessories - sun hat, beach towels, totes
4] shoe racks on floor - shoes winter to summer laft to right; everyday shoes [ school/work ] in front; dressy in back
5] underbed storage for out of season clothes or sports stuff
6] dresser for bras, panties, socks - if no room get behind the door shoe rack and use pockets for these
7] relaxing - a nice comfy reading/study chair! Make it pretty, add pillows and a throw

Do you freak out when you see a movie fight?




Serge the


Whenever I watch people fight in movies, I get all pissed about them doing weird movies.

I do wrestling, sub wrestling.



Answer
Absolutely. I love a good fight scene! I'll give you a few examples of things you should watch if you haven't checked them out yet!

Best fight scene on a movie: 'Once Were Warriors' (hard to find older film)
Totally realistic annihilation of a guy in a bar that lasts about two seconds!

Awesome movie moment: 'Dog Soldiers' (werewolf movie)
Guy (soldier) is being chased by a werewolf, and goes completely apeshit on it lol - hits it with a skillet, stabs it like thirty times, and at one point, kicks it in the face so hard, one of its canine teeth flies out and sticks in the wall! (sounds corny I know, but it will get you pumped rooting for the guy not to get eaten, as he's a funny and likeable character)

Milestone for super hero movies: 'Daredevil' (Ben Affleck)
Before the film is shot all to hell with the ridiculous see-saw fight between Ben and Jennifer Garner, the beginning was the first time when, after DD has a fight in a bar, a film shows a super hero as if they are a real person (at least the first time I can remember). Ben goes home to his huge house, eats painkillers, reveals his badly bruised and battered torso, and spits out a tooth in the shower. I seriously had to cheer for the guy after that! I want that tub he had too, that was like a sensory-deprivation chamber!

Other movies containing good fight scenes:

Bobby Z (Paul Walker) - surprisingly realistic fighting to my amazement - some solid moves that work in real life, for once!

Mission Impossible II, III (Tom Cruise) - Not bad at all, Mr. Cruise! My personal favorites include the windmill sweep against Dougray Scott on the beach in part II, and the applied use of KFM elbows against Philip Seymour Hoffman!

Bourne Trilogy (Matt Damon) - Nice choreography, some well-executed attacks and defenses, but what do you expect from Jeff Imada??? I personally liked Bourne's use of a ballpoint pen and a hardback book. The ability to weaponize your environment is a highly useful skill to possess!

Both Bond Films (Daniel Craig) - In the tradition of the Bourne films, the fight sequences are nicely done here, despite the fact that they can be a bit overdone at times. The fight in the second film, Quantum of Solace, where Bond uses a small pair of grooming scissors to finish off his opponent with a stab to two of his arteries (neck and thigh) is excellently done.

Never Back Down (Sean Faris) - Although this was really more of an "mma" fanboy flick, and a showcase for toned (fake)teen bodies for the younger kids to gawk at, the fight scene where the guys in the Hummer pissed off Jake wasn't bad. I liked that he actually took a few punches, and the adrenaline that kept them from finishing him off was believable. When you're pissed of, you're pissed off lol.

The Hunted (Benecio Del Toro, Tommy Lee Jones) - What can I say, except nice work on behalf of the Sayoc guys and the actors on this one. This whole movie is a veritable showcase of badasserie. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Now. My favorite part is still the look on Benecio's face when he's talking to his ex, and says "And they'll come here... and burn this house down." So funny every time he says 'house' in that drawn-out accent... Laying his hand and forearm on the table that way makes it even funnier...

Taken (Liam Neeson) - While the whole movie, like The Hunted, is a nice compilation of asses being kicked righteously, my favorite fight scene is still the one where the guy drags Neeson feet first out of a taxi. He gets finished off rather quickly (and correctly, I might add) after that little 'faux-pas' lmfao.

Well - there you have it - watch some of these, and you're sure to be jumping over your couch and kicking your lamp off the table in no time!
