Answer
I see several options here with the first being a beach theme. The blue walls would represent the sun or water while the beige carpet would represent the sand. The white trim adds a nice crisp contrast. Look for a striped bedding set with ALL of these colors and possibly a teal/turquoise. Use a darker blue for the curtains along with a white pull down shade. Add decorative pillows in all of these colors. Simply candle arrangements can be made using a piece of driftwood. Drill holes into it just deep enough to accommodate tealight candles. Another option is to find a nice sized clear cylindrical glass vase. Add sand or sea shells and a pillar candle.

Another option is a spa retreat. Add browns and creams to create this look. Plain colored bedding in either a darker shade of blue or a medium shade of brown along with striped curtains. Look for a large landscape print for the wall. A small table top water feature/fountain would be a soothing addition to the room.

What would be good decor for a beach themed room?

cat & lamb

Anything: paint color, bed spreads, lighting, wall decoration, ect.

Answer
I think that a nice, sandy beige on the walls would be nice. Add pale blue accents with pillows and stuff. Shells and polished rocks are good decorative items(put them on picture frames maybe.) polished glass is nice mosaicced on a bedside table. White is another good color to add as a beach room in usually very light and airy feeling. I like round mirrors too, I guess they remind us of portholes in shipe. Beach towels are usually striped and could even be used as the material to make pillows. The possibilities are endless. good luck.

How to clean rust of metal lawn chairs?

outdoor metal tables image

Cbluntzz

I got these nice used metal lawn chairs from my neighbor across the street and they have some rust spots. I would like to bring them back to (kind of) new again. So what can i do, or use, to clean off the rust?
The rest of the chair is fine

Answer
If it's not a major job to remove the rust spots then just buy a wire brush that fits into your drill. They are only a few dollars and do the job well, even getting into tight spots. If you use a cordless drill the battery will wear out quickly so have a spare battery charged and ready to go if you have one.

Once it's done just buy some spray paint in the colour you like that also has a rust inhibitor in it.

I recently removed the rust from a steel outdoor table and chair set, gave it a respray and it came up looking fantastic. I used a gloss paint but you can go matt if you want. I had mine done in a day. It's an easy job.

How can I convert my indoor pool table for outdoor use?

parickpc

I got an old pool table from somebody for $200, but do not have enough room in my house to put it inside. I want to put it outside on my deck and was planning on using a cover and a tarp to protect it from the rain. I believe that table is solid wood with a slate top. Any more ideas to help increase the life of the table.

Answer
The frame and components of an outdoor table are generally metal. I regular indoor table would not last long outdoors arounf here (New England) due to the fact that they are constructed from materials that are sensistive the moisture and humidity.
