World theme living room decor. I recently painted my living room and I'm now in the process of decorating it.

Avatar111

Three walls are like a pumpkin butter (behr) and one is ground nutmeg. Our fireplace is white. We have bamboo woven shades on the window. My husband wants a "world theme decor." He wants to put up pictures of places we would like to visit. I am not too keen on the idea but I'm going to go with it. Any ideas as to what I could do? I don't think it would be too hard to find wall decor, I'm having a hard time finding accents for the coffee table, accent table etc. Any suggestions??

Outdoor lighting for our wedding reception?

Rerers91

My Fiance and I are having an evening reception August 6th in Indiana. Our venue is a very NICE school with a huge field in the back and a gymnasium that we could also use, but we love the thought of dancing and celebrating under the open sky-so we're trying to stick to outdoors! Now, the field in the back is humongous! like 2 or 3 soccer fields, with a half-mile sidewalk around the edge. My only dilemma is lighting! So, I am in need of some really creative *inexpensive* lighting ideas! we can get electricity through a generator and extension cords. i just need help figuring out how i'm going to light this place when there aren't any trees around. Ideas? Be as "out there" as you want, and i'm willing to craft together some invention, i just need ideas. Thanks!

Answer
Few answers...first congrats on the marriage

1. tiki torches on the outer rim of the used area. They case off a good amount of light. They are also relatively safe
2. For the tables. Battery operated lamps (they can be found in camping section of a good sized walmart. Prices and sizes range)
3. call a rental company. They usually have the large lights you may want. They often have better prices then people think (call around to get different quotes)

again congrats on the upcoming marriage.

How do you keep your box turtles?

outdoor table lamps image

codeylol

I keep my 2 3-toed box turtles in a 5x2.5 foot indoor enclosure, and in the summer they live in an outdoor pen. I think the measurements are 6x7 feet for that one. I keep the temps at around 85 degrese on one side, and on the other side temps stay at around 65-70. They are feed a veried diet, but the items that stay the same ate earthworms, dandelion greens, and romaine letuse. Its hard to give a whole list of what I feed them; I keep it varied like how it would be in the wild. Please, only serious awnsers only:)

Answer
1.) Enlarge both pens. The suggested minimum size for a single adult three-toe is 4'x4' (many sites suggest smaller pens, but considering the wild territory is almost a football field, the real answer is definately 'the bigger the better!)

2.) Studies show that wild diets are about 75% insects and such. Again, a lot of websites suggest different ratios, but the research is pretty clear- these are insectivores that eat some vegetation opportunistically.

3.) The biggest challenge I have is indoor humidity combined with the need for fresh air. Tough to do in a larger pen. I offer a 'humidity house'- basically a large clear box with a heat lamp, plant, drip bottle, and a big hole in the side covered with a curtain of plastic strips. I use suspended jugs with slow drips to irrigate live plants in the tank, and a pile of peat moss and sand in one area to create islands of humidty, but the humidity box is still often pretty crowded!


My outdoor pen is the back yard- about 25'x50'. It has a chain-link fence that I secured with long wire 'staples' into the ground, and thresholds at the gates that seal the openings. Wherever the turtles congregate at the fence, I've reinforced it with sheets of plywood to keep them from trying to walk through the big mesh. Several tubs and paint roller trays are sunk in places for drinking and bathing. Lots of bushes and plants, an unmowed area, several digging areas, etc.

My indoor home is an 8'x4' pen raised to almost waist level. Under this is storage and a 'sand table' with greenhouse heating cables to keep the thing warm. Lots of cables in the hot zone, and progressively fewer towards the cool end.

The floor of the cage has a sunken pond (a paint roller tray) and space for some plastic sunken tubs used for digging space, live plants, etc. The humidity hut is in about the middle, and each corner has a hiding place. Some potted plants help with humidiy and shade. Lights are hung from an overhead frame with a series of timers to allow them to come on and off slowly to simulate dawn and dusk.

The entire thing is covered in a heavy plastic tent to help hold the heat and humidity in and minimize drafts.

I am working on an idea for a 'air conditioner' that would blow warm, moist, filtered air into the habitat while not introducing noise or vibrations, and a simple flapped 'valve' vent to allow old air out. I am also planning for a second 8'x4' pen to join the first in the near future. One plan is for the new space to be multi-level to oncrease the cage floor space without taking up more room!

what is the street in san fran with all of the outdoor cafes and restaurants?

ewatt12

I was in San Fran around 8 years ago and I remember their being one street with plenty of outdoor places to eat and they all had heating lamps. Maybe I imagined this but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
If the street was blocked off and had tables down the middle of it you are probably thinking of Belden Alley or Claude Lane off Bush Street. Beldin is one restaurant right after another, Claude Lane has about 3 restaurants with outdoor seating. If it was a single restaurant it could have been one of the two blocks that make up Maiden Lane off of Union Square.

If it was a major street with sidewalk tables it may have been Columbus Avenue between Vallejo and Green.
