Hardwood floor, lavender colored walls, and white accent furniture?

Q. I'm making my room right now and the room has dark mahogany color floor, and I added white accent furniture and my walls are a light lavender. I am given the option of getting a carpet put in or leaving it as it is. Should I leave it as it is, only based on the looks! Not the difficult maintenance of the hardwood floor, I've lived with those types of floors my whole life I know how to maintain them! Thanks(:

A. I think you should leave it as it is. You can always put area rugs down if you want too, and hardwood floors (in my opinion) give the room more character. Plus, I think it will look really good with the mixed wood colors! Good luck, and I really like the wall color you're thinking of by the way. (:

Not Registerting and asking for gift certficiates at a house warmong party?

Q. I am having a house warming party at the end of January and all of my friends are telling me to register for gifts. I pretty much have a handful of kitchen appliances and really only need big stuff like bedroom furniture and accent furniture. I really dont want to enforce gift giving at my party but I feel like I should. I honestly would just rather recieve gift certficates rather than picture frames and 5 of the same kitchen appliances. I know that is tacky to talk about gifts in an invitation but how can I go about it the right way? HELP!!

A. Etiquette dictates that YOU do not ask for gifts in an invitation. Tell your friends if someone asks them what to get you that a G.C. at certain stores would be great. Otherwise, you get what you get, or don't get for that matter.

Who has decorating tips for choosing sofa & love seat colors?

Q. I already own a nice black dining set, black accent furniture, and a black entertainment center. The living room and dining room are both one large room, so the black furniture seems connected. I really love black leather sofas, but it seems like it may be too much black. I'm also considering deep brown, tan, or beige leather. Suggestions?

A. have them be the same or variations of the same color. And choose that color in relation to the walls, carpet or another color that is prevalent in that room.
