I need an easy home remedy on how to fix this. You can see the ring that the cup left. Funiture polish makes it look great, until it dries and then you see the ring again…

My sister is moving to California from the east coast. This is her first time hiring a moving company and she is a bit confused by the different advices she gets about weight verses space. The moving company suggests calculating the cost based on cubic foot (space) since the piano is heavy. Her friends suggest basing the cost on pounds (weight) since her bed set looks a lot bigger than it weighs. She also read some consumer articles saying that it is better to ship by pounds since that is more easily verifiable.

We appreciate any help you can give us, especially if you’ve had some experience in moving.

Thank you,

PS-Just so you have an idea, this is what she has: an upright piano, a queen bed set with all the works (tower night-stands/mirrored head board/light bridge), an armour/wardrobe, a dresser w/ mirror, a modern love seat and sofa set (trim-lined and lighter than traditional sofas), a small corner curio cabinet, clothing, computer, a few books, and some kitchen stuff.

Accent Tables
rebel_prince_81 asked:


I just purchased my first piece of new furniture for my loft. I will be buying new pieces starting next year. I am going for a modern theme. The coffee table is an eggplant shape, light birch wood but the legs go up “through” the table about 7″ and a second glass piece rests on top. What would look good on the table?

I already have a navy couch and maroon chairs. I have a coffee table and an endtable that I have to paint. What color though?
Furthermore, the apartment I’m moving into will paint an accent wall in my living room, but I only have 4 options: wine, gold, sage, and beige. So…what color should te tables be, and what color should the accent wall be?
