Contemporary Accent Chairs
Published on May 15th, 2020.
Have you ever gone shopping for furniture? If you have then you must have been overwhelmed by the various types as well as designs available in sofas, chairs, side tables and so on. You might be interested in buying new branded furniture or nice used ones but you have to follow certain guidelines before you select furniture that meets your requirements. If you are keen in investing in contemporary chairs, here are a few tips that will make things easy for you. Do Not Just Settle On Any Chairs For Your Room People think that any chair will do for the living room or dining room. But they are making a big mistake if they are thinking on those lines. They end up buying something that is uncomfortable as well as inappropriate and looks out of place in their room. Then they try to sell it or pass it on to some relatives. This is a waste of money as well as time. You should always do some research in order to save money and trouble. Choose Your Fabric And Materials Carefully Chairs are available in a variety of colors, materials as well as sizes. For example, you can choose from of various fabrics and designs like Jacquard, Corduroy, Silk, and Satin. Also, leather is a very popular choice for your furniture material. You have to make the right choice and select furniture that will go with the decor of your rooms. You could invest in upholstered accent chairs so that anyone sitting on them would feel comfortable and relaxed. Choose Your Styling Based On Your Needs You could go for contemporary dining chairs to go with your traditional or modern style dining table. You could decide whether you want small or big chairs as per the availability of space in your dining or living room. You could buy a recliner chair or a rocker if you have elderly people in the house or young children who fall asleep only when rocked gently. Accent chairs also come in handy in case you have extra guest in the house.

Help re-decorating my room Im a 16 year old girl?
Published on August 23rd, 2010.
Im trying to think of new ideas on how to decorate my room. I like a kinda contemporary style, with the contrast but still creative. Unfortunately the trim is a darker brown wood and the carpet is blue. I dont know what color to paint the walls (which are also blue right now). Any ideas I also have bunkbeds, but dont share a room with anyone, and cant get a new bed. The ceiling slopes in a little at the sides so i cant put the bunkbeds on the side of the room to make more room. I want to get a mushroom chair or something also. Basically, the trim is darker brown, the carpet is blue, and i have bunkbeds. I can paint the walls, but i dont know what color. Any color schemes or organizationa ideas Anything you would reccomend I seriously need something new! I want to write some quotes and kanji on the walls too. I like the red, black, and white or green instead of red color scheme but that wouldnt go with darker brown and blue :/ anything that will help me, please!!

I just got a new apartment and bought new furniture. For the living room I am doing a graphite grey velvet couch and chair (loft-style) with mahogany, gold and green accents. What color should I paint the accent wall in this room that will still be contemporary?

Is it weird to put an area rug on carpet?
Published on August 11th, 2010.
I have very light colored tan carpeting throughout my house with contemporary decor. The color scheme reads more towards reds/browns/orange, and the furniture style is mainly espresso and light tan pieces with contemporary lines. The walls in my combined living room and dining room are a very light silver/gray with a half accent wall in bright red below the chair rail in the dining nook. The living room is spacious but I feel it really needs some more pop in color other than just the painting we have on the large wall. I’ve found this area rug that I really like and I think it would look good, but I have to ask, is it weird or awkward to have an area rug in a carpeted living room? I just can’t help but feel like I need to cover up the massive amounts of neutral carpet.
Here’s the rug, in case it helps in visualizing with the rest of the description above.

Would you like to read some mirza jokes?
Published on July 20th, 2010.
The Promised Messiah had a sweet tooth. He kept lumps of ‘gur’ (coarse
sugar) in his pocket while carrying pebbles of mud in the same pocket to
dry his urine. (Merajuddin Umar Qadiani, Annexure to Braheen-e-Ahmadiya
1/67)
• Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud, son of Mirza Ghulam writes in "Seerat-ul-
Mahdi" Vol. 2, that the Promised Messiah was suffering from hysteria and
“Miraq” (Mental derangement, Melancholy, Mania-depression).
[With such serious mental problems, there would always be a chance of
eating the soiled pebble and using the lump of coarse sugar for urinary
hygiene!]
The spirit of Jesus was infused in me like it was infused in Mary and
allegorically I was rendered pregnant. Not more than ten months had passed
when I was made Jesus from Mary. That is how I became Jesus, son of Mary.
(Kashti-Nooh pg 47) [Try to make sense of it.]
Mirza Bashiruddin Mahmud, the son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed, who became the
second "caliph", writes in Al-Fazl on 5 January 1933:
About the revelation to the Promised Messiah (Ghulam Ahmed) that he would
die in either Makkah or Madina, we would say that both are the names of
Qadian.
[The problem here is that the Mirza Saheb met his end neither in Makkah,Madina nor in Qadian, but in the Ahmadiya Building in Lahore! The
contemporary critics confidently assert that he fell dead in the lavatory. Eye
witnesses, the medical certificate and Mirza’s biographies do describe his last
illness as severe diarrhea or cholera.]
Mirza Ghulam Ahmed wrote that once he put some matter in writing and
placed before the Almighty for His signature. God signed it without hesitation
‘with blackness’ in red ink… the Almighty shook his pen and drops of ink fell
on my ‘kurta’ (tunic). (Tiriaq-ul-Qulub pg 33)
[We see Mirza Saheb steeped in hallucinations and delusions, visual and
auditory, both. From the medical standpoint, this picture most certainly
constitutes advanced psychosis, but we will soon narrate psychiatric opinion.]
• The Promised Messiah had a sweet tooth. He kept lumps of ‘gur’ (coarse
sugar) in his pocket while carrying pebbles of mud in the same pocket to
dry his urine. (Merajuddin Umar Qadiani, Annexure to Braheen-e-Ahmadiya

“Miraq” (Mental derangement, Melancholy, Mania-depression).
[With such serious mental problems, there would always be a chance of

hygiene!]
Masjid-e-Aqsa mentioned in the Qur’an is the Masjid at Qadian (Qadiani
Journal Al-Fazl 21 August 1932)
Now a miracle of Mirza Ghulam:
• Mirza Ghulam Ahmed prayed that a rock that rested on his head be turned
into a buffalo! When he raised his head he saw that it indeed turned into a
buffalo. (Haqiqat-ul-Mahdi pg 10) [And his neck remained intact.]
Try to make sense of these:
• Allah prays, fasts, awakens, and sleeps (Al-Bushra 2/79)
• Mirza raised funds on the commitment that he would write a huge book in
50 volumes. However, he stopped the work when only 5 small volumes had
been written. When asked about the discrepancy, he reasoned that “There
is a difference of only a zero between 5 and 50!” (Preface to Barahin-e-
Ahmadiya 5/7)
SOME SAMPLES FROM THE "SULTANATE OF PEN"
Letter to a London friend (translated from Urdu), "I need an English style
lavatory which has a low square chair with a pot in the middle. I feel giddy when I put pressure on
my feet while squatting to shit.” [‘The Sultan of Pen’ is asking for a commode.] (Collection of
letters to Hakeem Muhammad Hussain Qureshi)

Wedding Reception Hall Dilema?
Published on June 30th, 2010.
Sorry that this is so long but I really need some advice.
So I have been looking at reception halls for my June 2011 wedding and I am on a budget. My situation is that I am looking at two different reception halls at the moment and need some outside advice before I lose my mind going back and forth. Here is everything kind of broken down. (also my family will be paying for everything from the ceremony to the reception, FH family is not contributing anything). What would you do if it was your wedding reception???
Reception Hall A – La Sala Banquet Center, Rochester MI
http://www.lasalabanquet.com/
PROS:
- beautiful
- it fits in with my FH and my style (very contemporary)
- delicious food
- My first choice
- Professional lighting included
- includes everything except chair cover and centerpieces
CONS:
- about 00 over budget (but I would be able to get that within the year)
- about an hour away from the majority of guests
- to not go WAY over budget we would have to cut about 40 people from the guest list (leaving us about 120 people).
- FH thinks it is expensive
Reception Hall 2 – Stonegate Banquet Center, davison MI
http://www.stonegateevents.com/
PROS:
- Affordable
- Everything is included except chair covers and centerpieces
- the inside of the banquet hall is pretty
- We could afford to invite more people
- FH’s favorite
CONS:
- Outside is not pretty (in the same parking lot as a liquor store and nail salon) the picture of the place on the website looks A LOT better than in person.
- No places for pictures outside
- I feel like we would be settling

My apt. has REALLY OLD fixtures (faucet handles, lights, kitchen cupboards, trim) but I have REALLY MODERN…?
Published on June 23rd, 2010.
…furniture and tastes. How do I make my apt. more modern and sleek and streamlined without changing hardware?
I really love the modern/contemporary/sleek look. Think track lighting, geometric couches and chairs, straight lines, simple curves, silver, solid colors, minimal color. My furniture reflects that look. Think black, geometric, glass, brushed metal silver.
But the problem is I’m moving into an old, old, old apt whose fixtures can’t be changed or replaced–management would not allow that–nor do I have the budget to replace them myself even if I wanted to temporarily during my lease. The ceiling lighting is quite old in style, the faucets are turn knobs from decades ago, the cupboards have a regular non-gloss generic wood trim, the bathroom and kitchen floors are tiled with a non-modern look, not to mention the overall structure of the closet doors, counters, etc.
What are detailed suggestions of how I can reconcile the old look of my apt. with my very modern furniture? I really yearn for a modern, tranquil, minimalist, sleek , clean look…whites, blacks, silvers, neutrals, maybe a splash of color here and there but not a lot.
By the way, I’m a guy who’s young and recently out of grad school, in case that helps. I like a modern masculine/neutral look, for example, neutral-colored bamboo sticks instead of flowers.
