Best Depth of Bathroom Vanity? I am custom designing our new modern bathroom's vanity. Our old 80's style vanity was 21" deep (from the front to the wall). I have seen some between 18" and 24" deep. What are the advantages of going deeper or shallower? I am thinking since it is a smaller bathroom, a shallower vanity might make it look more spacious. If it matters, it will be a floating vanity as well with minimal solidity (more "airy" and see-through than normal I guess you could say). Opinions? GO!

My husband and I live in Columbus, GA which is 1 hour and 45 minutes south of Atlanta, GA. We both absolutely love the new modern houses. We want one about 2000 square feet or so and with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. About how much would that cost and who could we go to, to help us design one and get our house construction under way?

Can someone help me to convert this text into diary writing? I arrived at hill house, very vast front garden with a very modern architecture extremely welcoming at first view. At the reception the service was prompt and efficient very friendly to. Mrs Woods, the owner of the hotel was very helpful. The hotel service was very motivated in the satisfaction of the clients. I waited no more than a few minutes to get my room. I got escorted by Mrs woods who was telling me about the history of this hotel but also how the hotel worked what time breakfast was served for example and everything else that was helpful and that I needed to know. The room was spacious clean and bright, the beds where very comfortable. I found the bed fabric very soft. I took a look in the bathroom, very clean to, modern design and nice sized bathtub. Formidable view from the balcony. As for room service, at whatever time the wear always prompt and efficient. No time to get bored as much activities was on offer in the hotel, for all ages. After a good sleep and wonderful day of excitement and fun I woke up to a marvellous continental breakfast, with varieties of choices to choose from again the breakfast restaurant was sensationally vast lovely decoration. This hotel was perfectly organised to me. I was very pleased only thing would of rather missed on was leaving the hotel after breakfast. I shall defiantly go back soon. Well in formal diary form ...

What should I do with my bathroom wall?? I have all white walls. The shower curtain is white with teal and a neon green color without the neon. It's not seafoam or mint, or olive or hunter.... it's the popular summery green color that's often matched with teal. Anyhow, the curtain is a modern look with a white background and green and teal circles and squares an inch or two in size. The rugs match the green and teal. I have bought craft paint to do some design on one wall in the green and teal colors. I have pondered stripes or big squares/circles or leaving all the walls white and stamping shapes as a border. I am undecided. Any fresh ideas for me anyone? Just to clear things up..... I am leaving all the walls white except one and I intend to use the craft paints on one wall. I have narrowed it down this far. I would like to know what I should do with these colored paints....thanks!!

Design project... bathroom? I'm doing this design project for my bathroom, i kinda want to get started on it. The paint in the bathroom is a light tan, the counter top is going to be a shiny mocha brown(marble) and i'm getting a glass door with a kinda a mirror handle... if you know what i mean. My other siblings and i love the beach so i kinda want to incorporate 2 big seashells that my mom and dad found. I would like it to be modern, but also relaxing and elegant, oh and add a little color. . And if this helps... family means the most to me. My mind is mixed with ideas and i really want to narrow them down.Thanks for all those who help, i really appreciate it!!

Suggestions for bathroom layout and design please? Hello, I'm designing the layout of our eventual house. After its done, I'll take it to an architect and have them draw it up for real so it can be built. However, my husband has decided to make things difficult on me. Not in a bad way, just in a "our tastes don't match" way so I'm trying to find something that will suit both of us. Yes, this is very strange. I'm a girl and I prefer sleek and modern. He's a guy, and he prefers country style. You'd think it would be the other way around. Our bedroom looks something like this... http://www.sleighbedstore.com/prodimages-cdls/vba/vba-960-553-set2-L.jpg He bought the set before we got together. Its a nice set, don't get me wrong. But I don't think I'd have really chosen it for myself. I'd have chosen something more like this... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/516ljpY9GIL._SL500_AA300_.jpg Honestly, in most of the house, its fairly easy to accommodate this both for our tastes. The hard part seems to be the master bath. I want a glass vessel sink or a porcelain undermount with a granite countertop with dark colors for things like the cabinet and light walls. Somehow, though, I don't think this idea would fit with his style and I really want him to like it too. I'd like to create a spa effect, but I honestly am having a heck of a time finding things for it that I know both of us would like. I know this is a broad question, but do you guys have any ideas? Keep in mind, he's 6 feet tall. I'm 5 feet tall. So we need to find something that will help us meet in the middle. I simply loath our current bathroom. The sink is too high for me and was put in the cabinet 6 inches from the edge (wth were they thinking when they did that) when the standard is 4 inches. But for HIM, he says the cabinet is too short for him and he wishes it were taller. Not sure what to do here. I know he won't like a freestanding sink, but I don't want a traditional set up with the sink mounted on top of the vanity like I've seen in every other house ever. What do you think?

Thanks 10 points to best answer!

Why do some stalls in women's bathrooms in England have just a hole in the floor? I'm an American female tourist in England. In some modern women's bathrooms ("loos"), there are several stalls with standard sit-down toilets but one stall has a simple hole in the floor. It looks like it was designed that way -- the toilet fixture wasn't stolen, for example. Why the hole in the floor?

Whole bathroom pictures? Ok, frustrated. I really want to build my own home with a master bath, walk in closet, and all the rest. I don't see us being able to afford an architect to design it because they charge so much, but I want some specific things. I did try to design my own but it came out looking rather old fashioned (like its from the 80's). I want something new, modern, serene. No, I don't want it to be a living room, no tv's or anything. The idea is to get away from the world, not immerse yourself in the stress of the day. I've been looking everywhere online for months, and there are some great pics out there. Just one problem... NONE of the ones I've seen actually show the whole bathroom. It will show you the toilet and sink, or the bathtub, or something along those lines, but it will not show you the whole bathroom layout. Even the ones that are like blueprints, you don't get to actually see pictures of all the bathroom area itself, just the blueprint. Does anyone have any websites that show both the bathroom blueprint AND pictures of the complete finished room? Like a 360 degree look? Ahh heck, I'd settle for a 360 degree look at the room rather than a blueprint because I'll just create it from the pictures. No one with a brain in their head is going to design everything for the room in just one corner like some of the idiotic ideas I've seen on the net. Oh no, I already know the basic layout of the house that I want. For example, I want an open layout for the kitchen/living room/dining area. I see it all in my head. Its just the master bath that I'm having the most issues with. I do NOT want a closed in feeling to the room. I want a beautiful spa retreat. I'd love one with stone or wooden flooring, with a doorless shower (I'm aware they're colder than regular showers). I also want a room thats accessible due to a car accident I was in in 2004 (doctor says I'm going to have mobility issues as I get older, and probably REALLY bad arthritis due to the damage done to my leg), a water closet for the toilet (hubby's idea) and dual sinks. I'm just trying to figure out how to give it a modern look that isn't tiny and its nearly impossible for me to do since I can't get a basic picture of what to look for even after months of searching. Incidentally, the house will also have a smaller regular bathroom for every day use by others and us. I'd rather build it right the first time, rather than have to go back and remodel later. To give an example... http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2010/06/03/DP_Hammerschmidt-contemporary-bathroom-tub-vanity_s4x3_lg.jpg I like this bathroom. But where is the toilet? And the shower? Behind the camera person? Around the corner? And this.... http://hgtv.sndimg.com/HGTV/2010/06/03/DP_Hammerschmidt-loft-bathroom-tub_s4x3_lg.jpg Whats the point in this picture? It shows nothing at all other than a flower and a corner of a tub. No useful ideas in any way. Yes, this is only one web site, but most of them are like this.

Do YOU have a good interior design suggestion? Currently, my home interior company is working on a large apartment in Northeast Ohio in a city based area. We are expecting a 20 something couple to move in. Their likes are "Americana" design, Old Country or Primitive, and modern day design. <> We would like suggestions from 20 something people as well on what they would like to see in their apartment. First let me give you an overall visual of the apartment. <> We are working with 3 bedrooms and a large living room, all in which have a medium blue colored carpet (at request) with dark walnut trim. All walls are white. We have a medium sized bathroom that is all white at the moment with a white and gold floor. The kitchen has a beigh floor, white walls and walnut trim. <> Mainly we are asking for THEMES for the rooms. We are open to any suggestions. If the couple likes an idea we use from Yahoo! Answers, then there will be a reward for the answeree who gave the suggestion. This reward is TBA since we have yet to show the couple what we have come up with. <> Thanks! -Quita Marietta- Interior Illusions

Which color paint is best for efficiency garage apartment with black furniture? Thank you for your input!? I am getting ready to move into a 126 sq. ft. garage apartment with one 2'x1.5' window facing south. Very small space I know! And not much natural light in the finished garage. I am going to be using this room to study for college, sleep, and occasionally watch date movies. Items I have that will fit include: 1) a black/brown queen platform bed with all white bedding http://toronto.lowprice.ca/ikea_hopen_double_bed_frame_perfect_condition_queens_quay_york_140_h0z1 (light blue bedding shown in picture) 2) a black mini-frig which will hold a black microwave on top, and a black toaster over on top of that. 3) a 52" TV (which I saved up for 5 years to buy, so I want to keep it) and will mount it on the wall because this is the best space saver I've figured out so far 4) a black/brown Ikea Hope chest of six drawers which will fit in my 12 sq. ft. closet. Again, I think this will good to conserve space in the one room. http://jogjafurniturehouse.com/bedroom-furniture/modern-design-hopen-chest-drawers/attachment/hopen-chest-of-drawers-brown-frosted-glass__80727_pe205041_s4 5) one Ikea Lack black/brown floating shelf http://www.flickr.com/photos/robinrama/2433599997/ (Just top shelf in picture) 6) one Ikea Billy black/brown book case http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40071788 The room is currently light taupe. My accessories are black and white. What color(s) should I paint my walls? My understanding is little clutter and simple decor works best to maximize small bedrooms. Unfortunately, I understand white furniture is also the best, but this is not an option given my budget. So I think icy light blue or sunny yellow are my top to picks to maximize the space with the black/brown furniture. The other option is to keep the apartment walls light taupe. I would really like your opinions on this as wall paint color is a very important part of a room. This will be my first time to paint and pick out colors, so I'm really excited! Thank you for your input!!!! I have asked a similar question recently and received professional, very helpful feedback. You all have been most helpful, which is why I am writing again. Since I cannot paint my furniture white, we need to consider which wall color will work best with black furniture. A desk will not fit in the room because there are too many doors and not enough wall space. Also, any suggestions how or where to store groceries like microwavable oatmeal etc. I'm thinking out of sight possibly under my bed although I know that is not good feng shui. I have two cabinets under the bathroom sink for my much condensed bathroom supply and a closet for my much condensed clothing wardrobe. The other option is to put food in bins on the bookshelf. I would upload pictures, so you all could see exactly. Is there a way to do that when asking a question? Biggest question: Which paint color will work best with my black furniture? Thanks again so much for your input sincerely!!!!

How should my room be? I'm moving into a new house this year! And I'm thinking about how my room should be... What colour and shade should my room, bathroom and dressing room be? What type of design? I want something that would make me feel protected, at peace, relaxed, inspired, happy, calm and optimistic. I was thinking maybe my room should look a bit japanese or maybe the old british type of look? Or maybe even just plain modern! I can't really decide. So please tell me what you think! Thanks. A little more about what a coward I am if it helps! I'm eremophobic a.k.a Afraid of being alone. I never do spend much time in my room, most of the time I have someone over or I go to their house. Yes, I know. Ridiculous. But when i'm alone I start hallucinating, imagining things etc. I'm afraid of reflective surfaces in the dark or when I'm alone too. Hehe... My reflection scares me, yes yes. Colour and shade... Shade, I'm thinking of whitish, pale, off white, something like that. Maybe light blue? Purple? Green?

Are modern home designers exhibitionists? The wife and I have been searching new homes, and floor plans to possibly build our own home. The latest trend seems to be a huge master bathroom with the walk-in shower and the large tub, which we like. The problem is that it seems like 90% of these newer homes have no doors on the master bathrooms. If someone is buying a 3 or 4 bedroom house, it is more than likely that they would have children. Why, then, would you not want a door on your bathroom? If I don't shut the door on the bathroom, my daughter will follow me right in. So, when I am taking a shower, going to the bathroom, or getting dressed, I close and lock the door. Why would I want a bathroom where I would have no privacy at all in the shower? Who would want their kids to be able to come strolling into the bathroom in the middle of a shower or bath? I know it's no big deal to put a door on or have the house built with a door, but I just wonder why they design like this in the first place. That link didnt work. ICoE: True, but then if there is an emergency, and the wife is at the store or something, I would not be able to hear the kids knock or shout. But I have to agree, Im not crazy about buying a house like this. The thing is, almost all of the new homes or new home floorplans we browse have this feature. This is why it's frustrating and puzzling to me. Thanks Rob, but Im not just talking about models, Im talking about the majority of homes that are actually for sale in the area Im looking in, including the more expensive planned communities, as well as floor plans you can purchase to build a house. I've looked at several 2006-2008 homes that are actually on the market, not models, that have this, and its frustrating. The door isnt so hard to put in, but I also find that a majority of homes have an arched doorway there which makes it even more expensive to fix.

How does this sound???? Any errors or ideas on how to make it better? Just two years ago, around this time of year, I went to India. I stayed there for about three months and wow! Who knew what an adventure I was in for? It was a real nifty and fascinating experience. I got to meet a variety of people, taste new food, go shopping, and also get used to major changes of everyday life such as the bathrooms. First of all, the atmosphere was very unique in India. It was nothing like the atmosphere here. For example, smelly goats, towering camels, enormous buffalos, and active cows were everywhere including the roads and streets. You could see motorcycles and little toy-like taxis called rickshaws going here and there that people depend on for transportation. Buses, trucks, cars, rickshaws and camels share the road. You would also see dozens of people crossing the street and just hanging around. Furthermore, there were no stop lights. The driving conditions were extremely chaotic and you have to be very cautious of what you do. You can hear horns honking everywhere. People honk their horns mostly every second to get each other’s attention. It was actually amusing to me having to be careless about everything because I am familiar with an orderly life. In India, people just cooperate with one another to make things happen. Moreover, the food is absolutely mind-blowing! It is very tasty and appetizing. The food is very spicy and it opens up your taste buds. Their mouth-watering snacks that you could purchase from food stalls on just about every corner of the street will make you ask for more. Some snacks are samosas, pakoras, and cold drinks like faludas. The ice cream over there is their specialty. There are a great deal of flavors mixed with heaps of toppings. You can get anything you want for a very little cost. You name it! Most of the restaurants are open 24 hours. In India, people just enjoy themselves throughout the day. They go to sleep very late either watching movies or hanging out. They barely have any laws. It is similar to New York City, the city where everyone barely gets any sleep. In addition to, India offers a great deal of clothes. You can get any type of fabric or cloth. Traditional, modern, eastern, western, oriental and so much more. It has clothes from all over the world. India is one of the world’s largest textile industry. Additionally, India’s clothes are very fashionable. They have innumerable designs and colors. There are a wide variety of choices that you can choose from. Overall, India is an incredibly vibrant place. It has such a rich culture and many traditions that people follow. If you were to go there, at this time, I think you would be just amazed to see how different our life is from theirs. India is a very beautiful destination, full of majestic and dazzling sites, just out of your dreams. Food as tasteful as it is colorful, vast plains, incredible riches, and fashionable clothing. There are many different languages and cultures. It has so many diverse people with different needs, likes and dislikes, strengths, opinions and ideas. But they all come together and work as a team to support each other and achieve their goals.

What would be the best replacement for my Ideal Mexico 2 boiler? I have an old (maybe 15 years) Ideal Mexico 2 (model number inside the top flap appears to be an Ideal Mexico 2 RS75P), Propane/LPG fuel with heat input of 29.8kW (101.5BTu) and heat output of 22.7kW (77.5BTu). It has become increasingly costly to run, presumably as its efficiency drops, plus of course modern boiler design has moved on masses in the intervening period. The current boiler is floor standing, but there is no absolute need for a floor standing replacement though it would be marginally more convenient. I need to find a Sedbuk A replacement if possible with perhaps a little more oomph than the current boiler which struggles to keep everything warm during the coldest spells in my 4 bed detached house in a rural location (with planned conservatory, floor area approaches 2000sq ft (185m2). I am assuming that a condensing boiler is going to be the way to go, but am unsure what make or model to consider. I have a kitchen, family bathroom and downstairs shower room for hot water demand on top of pressed steel radiator heating. pipe strangler, I do live in the middle of nowhere - rural location in North Essex near Suffolk border - no town gas anywhere near! BTW someone else suggested a weather compensator - anyone got any views on the effectiveness of these? Thanks for answers so far. Hi Turdy Malurdy, Any idea what kind of cost the alpha system is?

It's going to have 6 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.Here are some home designs we like. 1) http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-6338805-expensive-home.php 2) http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-4110763-modern-luxury-home-in-suburbia.php 3) http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-8280721-luxurious-suburban-house.php 4) http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-4639473-beautiful-country-estate.php 5) http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-2278730-suburban-home.php We like homes 3, 4, and 5 the best but like them all. which ones do you like?

What do you call this design? I want to redecorate my bathroom. currently all white walls..ick. i love designs similar to this: http://common2.csnimages.com/lf/1/hash/4362/320565/1/Modern+Black+%2F+White+Contemporary+Rug.jpg what do you call this? when i ask a store manager to help me find patterns? how do i incorporate it into my bathroom? would i have to use stencils? stickers on the walls? advice? any good redecorating tips or stores? thanks!

How should i design this hallway? http://www.flickr.com/photos/60830742@N04/5542443785/ i painting my bathroom an olive green and i want the hallway to compliment it and should i buy new modern closet doors or should i just paint them a different color

what design would be the best to have in a girls room? okay well my two cousins are away for a trip and so me and my parents are designing/remodeling their room. One is eight years old and she is into princess and the other one is 15 years old and she is into what is now modern, like retro stuff. Alright so unfortunately they have to share room. They both agreed with the sky, baby blue background color on the walls and white on the ceiling and baseboards,doors, bathroom, and around the windows. Okay so then just a few hours ago her little cousin called me saying if we can add crown designs but then i hear her older sister screaming - so basically there is an argument. Alright so now i want to know what can i do to make them both pleased/satisfied? I was thinking of having diamonds going around the walls, and then at the bottom of the wall add some flowers but my older cousin doesn't really like flower things. So what kind of designs will go just perfect with them both? P.S they are not into hearts, flowers, crown, princess, splatter paint. i forgot to mention im not willing to do splits because its not going to look right.

If I take out the tub in my house, will that reduce the value? I have a small, 1200 sf ranch home. Much of it has been extensively remodeled in a contemporary design, but the bathroom is untouched. There's only one bathroom in the house, and it is a small, narrow space. If I remodel that at some point to get rid of the tub and include a walk-in shower (I never take baths, only showers), would that reduce the value of the home? Do people care about bathtubs anymore? Those modern bath inserts are so uncomfortable, it seems like they are not really designed for baths anyway.

I need help designing my house? My husband and I will be moving into our first, new home on May 15th. I need help with how to pick a colors for the room! We will get a tan couch for the living room. The Kitchen and Living room are attached and small. So I want the colors to blend. The bathroom I want maybe black and white. Our bedroom I want modern and "homey" I like greens, browns, red, black and white. Any help would be great. Pictures of your ideas or colors would be AWESOME!!! Thanks!

Themed bedroom? Ocean or Mountain? My bathroom is an ocean theme and my bedroom right now kind of has a cabin/Mountain theme going on. There are sculptures of black bears, prints of cabins and forests on my walls. I am going to be getting rid of a lot of things in my bedroom just to do a summer cleaning and I am wondering if I should continue with the Mountain theme or stretch the bathroom's ocean theme on into the bedroom. I enjoy both ocean and Mountain themes very much but I do not know if it is too much to have two themes going on. What is your opinion? I was going to be painting my bedroom a sage green if I am keeping the Mountain theme and painting it a blue/white if I am going with more of a nautical theme. I am not decorating in cheap children prints or objects so things will be sophisticated if that helps your decision. I do not want things to be tacky so the designing will be modern and chic. Thanks for your vote and ideas :)

Renovating a victorian house? Im in the design process of renovating a victorian house. My question is should I introduce old elements into the house such as a traditional bathroom and kitchen or go all modern? My husband and I love an all white scheme, as the house is quite small and we feel will open it up and modernize a traditional look. We love claw baths and old fireplaces... We are worried we will spend all this money and in 5 years when we plan to sell, no one will want to buy it as its quite traditional.. Thanks for your thoughts in advance guys!!

My landlord is lying about property that is available...? My landlord was suppose to put us on a upgrade list to upgrade to a two bed one bath appartment thats in better condition and is remodeled. Well she said at the moment there was no appartments available and we would be put on the list. We have asked times now ans still we are not on the list, not only that but we had a family friend call the office to see if they were lieing and they were. They have a two bed one bath available and they said they could move them in this week.... now she lied to us and told us she didnt have anything available and than she tells a family friend there is. Now the apartments were built in the 1980s and our appartment is the ONLY apartment with this 80s design, everywhere else had modern fixtures tile and appliances. We were not offered a nice upgraded apartment with nice remodeling. Our apartment looks like it was remodeled by a unlicensed contractor...ha and they said our apartment WAS remodeled before we moved in, I wonder what it looked liked before. Anyway there is cocking for the bathtub everywhwere and black mold is growing on it..the seal is also coming undone so water is going behing the bathroom tile and wall. Everything is REALLY OLD and other apartments look like condos. This is why we wanted to upgrade. I need help. I know there is something about denying or lieing in the Fair housing act but I need more help We clean the tub ALOT, its just they used the wrong caulking as well as getting it everywhwere. We did investigate the apartment it looked fine and she said this is what everyone elses looks like. Everyone else pays 100 dollars more thats why we have to go on a waiting list that doesnt exist. when we looked at these apartments we were only offered one type of apartment. We just recently renewed our lease because they said we would be upgraded in a couple of months when an apartment opens. they are lieing because we had someone ask them about a two bed one bath and they said there is one available and they could move in this week. So I need to know what kind of action to take. also, the caulking is bad that its coming apartment and water is behing the tile on the wall, under the tile on the floor, and behind the tub. We pulled a tile off the wall and there is mold everywhere,...so its not our cleaning..its them. They use the maintnance to fix things and remodel. When they arent licensed contractors...wen they cant even caulk right somethings wrong, and its a health hazard and safety issue. It says so in the fair housing act.

Does anyone know where I can get a shelf like this? The link below will show you what i am asking about. Any information about it would be helpful. http://www.distroarchitecture.com/cute-small-minimalist-unique-modern-bathroom-design-ideas/cute-nice-happy-colour-bathroom-with-unique-mirror-and-sink

Best heating options for an old house without ducts or a conventional heater.? My mother lives in a very old home in Buffalo NY. It's about a 1000 SQFT, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 laundry room and living room and kitchen. The only heating sources are an old gas burning stove in the living room and a very old oven with vents on the side designed to be a heater. I'm planning on replacing the oven with a new one in a few weeks. Since modern ovens aren't designed to heat rooms, I need to figure out a good alternative to heat the house. There is very little insulation in the house so it get extremely cold during the winter. Are there any space heaters that won't burn out while heating several rooms during a cold Buffalo winter, possibly running continuously? I've seen large units that mount on the wall in Japan, but I can't find anything similar online and I'm afraid of smaller units burning out their motor. Or are there any other suggestions to keep the house warm? Thanks! I'm hoping to find a solution for a few hundred dollars, otherwise, I won't be able to replace her oven.

Is it a bad idea to have an European cottage exterior with a contemporary interior? I am designing a house for myself that I love. On the outside it's a cute country cottage but on the inside, it is very high-end, contemporary. It's not SUPER cold and contemporary but still modern, especially the bathrooms and kitchen. The thing that I wonder about is the resale potential. I think that I would be limiting my buyers market buy designing it this For those that want an old world exterior, probably want an oldworld interior. Same thing for those that love modern. They want a modern exterior to go with the modern interior. Would it be a bad idea to do this? Especially for resale? And it will probably catch people off guard when they enter.

I'm designing my new home help? Good morning! i'm moving into a nice new apartment and I have two baby girls coming ahead. I want something eco- friendly like this Bybo Design changing table: http://decorbox.bg/blog/en/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/ergonomic-baby-changing-tables-by-bybo-011.jpg For the babies room they'll share, I want some pastel colors, peach, light pink, cream... I want a room with a baroque-gone-modern type style and I want that in the living room and a baroque bathtub like this in the bathroom: http://www.dekio.fr/var/deco/storage/custom/blogs/1/2/28.jpg For the kitchen, I want colors like taupe and light blue with a hint of white and cream. For the living room I would like a prune purple with green and a long modern-baroque table with see through chairs (I saw some somewhere) Can you help me out with ideas, pics, websites...? Thanks a bunch everyone! I also love the Parisian apartment style with tall ceilings, mouldings....

Looking for blog sites/websites on small space interior design? I am moving into a studio apartment with my partner. The room apartment is tiny (16x11 feet or 5x3.3 meters) - that's excluding the little hallway, bathroom and kitchen. Since it's quite tricky to furnish I am looking for blog sites or just websites *specifically* on furnishing small spaces. Please don't give me links to websites with concept ideas of space saving furniture that doesn't exist or interiors that look like they're from The Jetsons :P The flat is in a Victorian style with wooden beams on the ceiling and a little bay window so ultra modern will just look odd. So if anyone knows where I can find good small space interior design ideas please let me know, you'd pretty much save my life. Alternatively, if you are a budding interior designer and would like to give me some ideas (free of charge :P) I could send you the layout of the flat and you could knock yourself out with some furniture arrangement concepts!

Beadboard and slate? Good match? I would like to remodel my bathroom using slate-look tile from mirazzi (mirazzi.com). I currently have beadboard paneling in my bathroom which I want to paint. The problem is that when I think of slate, I think of a more modern look, and beadboard is more traditional. I like the beadboard, but I also want that tile. I have no sense of what looks good in a home, so I would like to receive feedback from readers who have design know-how. Could this be a good combination? How could I make this work?

What do you thing of this book? Is a two point of view paper please be honest! Lucky Charm In the middle of winter, I was still in the rectangular cardboard box. I was made last week, and a brand new kind too. I am size eleven, and my colors where midnight black, and snow white. My kind was very popular, but somehow I was still in the store. By early April a woman with light brown hair, and really tan skin bought me. She looked like she was in her early forties or late thirties. By that I knew that she was going to send me to her son. The ride was long and I could not see much from the little hole of the box. A few minutes later we were in front of a house, which was pasty, with the doors, windows, and the garage door ginger. The inside of the house was in extremely neat, and amazedly cool. When you enter everything is in an old Japanese and Chinese style, The Kitchen is modern, but the ones that you see in a Hollywood house design by professionals. The Dining Room is style just like the Kitchen. The Living Room was awesome, made me feel like I was in Africa. The room is decorated excellently that it’s impossible not to want the room for your own. The mother started to walk up the brown spiral stairs. At first I thought she was going to stop in the second floor, but she kept going up until we stop at the Attic. The Attic was pretty big, and the style was skater with punk and rocker kind. The room had a small living room in the middle of the room with a plasma TV. The far right corner was a half circle, with the wall as a big window. There was also a king size round bed that fit perfectly against the wall. In the other right corner there was a walk-in closet, while at the far left corner there was a bathroom which was being used by my soon to be owner. “Shane, can you hurry up in there! I got something to show you,” sang the mother with happiness in her eyes. From the bathroom door a strong, but light voice shouted, “I am kind of busy using the toilet right know, if you haven’t notice.” “I don’t care you get your butt out here right now!” “No!” … “I bought you something form DVS.” … FLUSH! The door opened so fast that I thought it was going to break. “What did you buy me?” Questioned a light, yet dark long shaggy brunette hair guy, with tight black jeans, and neon green Vans. He had no shirt on, so you could see his built, yet small muscles. He was really skinny, but had enough meat on him to not make him look anorexic. His height was about “5’9, and had a perfectly looking face with sky blue eyes to match. Looking at him made something in me click, and I realize that this guy, I mean Shane, was from now on my owner. “I bought you a Lucky Charm,” answered his mom. “Ma, that it’s sick! I mean awesome! You are the best!” sang Shane with the same happiness in his eyes like his moms. “Here take it, “ sighed his mom while handing me over to Shane, “I got to do you and Rikku’s dirty dishes.” “ Ah! Come on Ma they are not that bad,” lied Shane. “For you, yeah caused you don’t have to do them!” “Sorry Ma, but my hands are not good with that.” “Spoiled little brat,” muttered his mom while she went down stairs. When is mom was out of view, Shane opens the box and asked, “Hey Lucky Charm, ready to do some skateboarding?” ~#&#@$~ It was raining like crazy, and I was in a terrible mood, of course Shane notices which got us in this conversation. “Come on Luc, its not that bad,” pleaded Shane. Ha! Have you seen how muddy it is, and I sure as hell not going to be bathing in that. Shane could still see how mad I was. “Come on, man it’s not that far away. The house is only half a mile away from here. Besides it’s not going to be that bad. You know you have been through worst.” Why did we have to come to the stake park in a nasty day like this? However, when he said that I knew he meant the time that we where hiking in south entrance to the Grand Canyon National Park, which is very close to are home town Tusayan. While we were hiking my shoelaces got stuck in a branch that unfortunately was very thick. Shane didn’t notice so he kept walking which made my shoelaces break, and now they are tied up to keep them together. Also one of my aglets is missing, and the shoelaces look really worn out. He also means the time that he was running from the cops because he graffiti, “JOKER” on the 1:00 A.M. train. The bottom of me couldn’t take the running so it got worn out and rip in the bottom back from a nail in the train tracks. Certainly he also means the time he got Rikku very mad, he was making fun of her new anime Goth style dress, so Rikku, his little sister, scratch the inside back of me to make a small hole. Out of all this I new something, Shane was with all his heart sorry for me. Remembering all of that made me sight, and let Shane run with me to cross the small distance from the skate park and on to his backyard to his house. When we got inside

How can I arrange my bedroom to utilize space more efficiently? I live in a small apartment, I have one bedroom/living area, a separate kitchen and bathroom. I'm trying to figure out how to utilize the space I have in my bedroom/ living area the best way. I have one single bed, a large desk, a small closet, a small shelf, a t.v./stand, and a chair. I live in a big city, and finding a larger apartment for a reasonable price would be next to impossible at the moment. I would also like to add some design to to the place. Its got white walls, and I have light wood furniture and floors. I would really like a little more modern look, maybe with grey walls and accent colors like on my bed or something... I am a college student, so I do have a minimal budget. I don't know but any suggestions on how to arrange/decorate my room would be awesome!

Help building / designing dream house? I want to build a three story "castle" like house, but on a modern home scale. I am planning on having about 4 acres of land to build on so a decent sized house. I already have my rough draft of my first floor, floor plan drawn out. I will take any ideas for room sizes, room locations, etc. I want the third story to have an observatory area extending through the roof, along with my master bedroom. The master bedroom will also have a balcony extending outside facing the front and rear of the estate. The second story is mainly guest beds and bathrooms, and such. The first floor will have a large kitchen, decent sized den a foot lower than the rest of first floor level, a library and a foyer. A decent sized basement for storage and laundry. Each corner of the house will have a hexagonal style tower design to bring out more of the castle like feel. This will also add a bit more room and aura for the dining room, library and guest rooms. I still plan on putting about another year or two into the basic plans before I start with the other things., and I am sure things will change. I do plan on using stone, adding a pond, having a circular driveway with an extended entrance driveway lined with trees (not sure on the trees, landscaping will come last). Maybe some stained glass here and there. As far as design programs, should I use AutoCAD? I am sure once I get my floor plans done, an actual architect will want to rearrange them a lot, but I want to get the basic design to my vision before he/she modifies it. I will take any opinions/ideas generously.

Needing help choosing a business name...? I am currently taking an enterprise management class. In this class we have to make a business plan like we were really starting our own business.

Now i have to pick out a name and i cant come up with anything! I need a catchy modern and cute name that would appeal to a younger grounp of adults (20's-late 30's) thank you soo much!

What is a good house for my Sims 2 family? I have a new family, one adult couple, two teens (one boy, one girl), and a small pet dog. I am looking for a house with 3 bedrooms 1.5-2 bathrooms (preferably one on each floor), a living room with a TV, either a game room or home office with a computer, and a one or two-door garage with a (sport-)car(s). I'd also like the rooms to be modern but still simple. And the house must have a kitchen with good appliances, a dog bed, a dog dish, and a few other pet items. It would be nice to have a pool/hot tub too. Price is no object but I don't really want a huge fancy 3-story mansion. I have the following Sims 2 Expansion Packs: Glamour Life Stuff IKEA® Home Stuff Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff Nightlife Pets Seasons and Teen Style Stuff I was thinking of something sort of like this: http://thesims2.ea.com/exchange/lot_detail.php?asset_id=741692&searchPage=exch&search=1&asset_type=lot&key=&order=CREATION_DATE+desc&nrows=8&game_version=&custCont=&zoneType=-1&lotSize=&lotLevel=&apartmentSize=&lotValue=&familyFund=&familyWorth=&familySize=&locality=&country=&view=feature&hideFramework=&languageCode= but with a garage and some pets stuff. It DOESN'T have to be like that! It was just a suggestion as to the type of place I'm looking for..

Design project... bathroom? I'm doing this design project for my bathroom, i kinda want to get started on it. The paint in the bathroom is a light tan, the counter top is going to be a shiny mocha brown(marble) and i'm getting a glass door with a kinda a mirror handle... if you know what i mean. My other siblings and i love the beach so i kinda want to incorporate 2 big seashells that my mom and dad found. I would like it to be modern, but also relaxing and elegant, oh and add a little color. . And if this helps... family means the most to me. My mind is mixed with ideas and i really want to narrow them down.Thanks for all those who help, i really appreciate it!!

Can someone help me to convert this text into diary writing? I arrived at hill house, very vast front garden with a very modern architecture extremely welcoming at first view. At the reception the service was prompt and efficient very friendly to. Mrs Woods, the owner of the hotel was very helpful. The hotel service was very motivated in the satisfaction of the clients. I waited no more than a few minutes to get my room. I got escorted by Mrs woods who was telling me about the history of this hotel but also how the hotel worked what time breakfast was served for example and everything else that was helpful and that I needed to know. The room was spacious clean and bright, the beds where very comfortable. I found the bed fabric very soft. I took a look in the bathroom, very clean to, modern design and nice sized bathtub. Formidable view from the balcony. As for room service, at whatever time the wear always prompt and efficient. No time to get bored as much activities was on offer in the hotel, for all ages. After a good sleep and wonderful day of excitement and fun I woke up to a marvellous continental breakfast, with varieties of choices to choose from again the breakfast restaurant was sensationally vast lovely decoration. This hotel was perfectly organised to me. I was very pleased only thing would of rather missed on was leaving the hotel after breakfast. I shall defiantly go back soon.

does anyone want to read this ( i know its so wierd but maybe any yahooligans here wanted to see it ) caution! The Basics Where does fart gas come from? The gas in our intestines comes from several sources: air we swallow, gas seeping into our intestines from our blood, gas produced by chemical reactions in our guts, and gas produced by bacteria living in our guts. What is fart gas made of? The composition of fart gas is highly variable. Most of the air we swallow, especially the oxygen component, is absorbed by the body before the gas gets into the intestines. By the time the air reaches the large intestine, most of what is left is nitrogen. Chemical reactions between stomach acid and intestinal fluids may produce carbon dioxide, which is also a component of air and a product of bacterial action. Bacteria also produce hydrogen and methane. But the relative proportions of these gases that emerge from our anal opening depend on several factors: what we ate, how much air we swallowed, what kinds of bacteria we have in our intestines, and how long we hold in the fart. The longer a fart is held in, the larger the proportion of boring, inert nitrogen it contains, because the other gases tend to be absorbed into the bloodstream through the walls of the intestine. A nervous person who swallows a lot of air and who moves stuff through his digestive system rapidly may have a lot of oxygen in his farts, because his body didn't have time to absorb the oxygen. Encyclopaedia Britannica offers the intriguing statement that some people's farts contain no methane. The reason for this is apparently unknown. Some researchers suspect a genetic influence, whereas others think the anomaly is due to environmental factors. However, all methane in any farts comes from bacterial action and not from human cells. What makes farts stink? The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts. Why do farts make noise? The sounds are produced by vibrations of the anal opening. Sounds depend on the velocity of expulsion of the gas and the tightness of the sphincter muscles of the anus. How much gas does a normal person pass per day? On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts. Whereas it may be difficult for you to determine your daily flatus volume, you can certainly keep track of your daily numerical fart count. You might try this as a science fair project: Keep a journal of everything you eat and a count of your farts. You might make a note of the potency of their odor as well. See if you can discover a relationship between what you eat, how much you fart, and how much they smell. How does a fart travel to the anus? One may wonder why fart gas travels downward toward the anus when gas has a lower density than liquids and solids, and should therefore travel upwards. The intestine squeezes its contents toward the anus in a series of contractions, a process called peristalsis. The process is stimulated by eating, which is why we often need to poop and fart right after a meal. Peristalsis creates a zone of high pressure, forcing all intestinal contents, gas included, to move towards a region of lower pressure, which is toward the anus. Gas is more mobile than other components, and small bubbles coalesce to from larger bubbles en route to the exit. When peristalsis is not active, gas bubbles may begin to percolate upwards again, but they won't get very far due to the complicated and convoluted shape of the intestine. Furthermore, the anus is neither up nor down when a person is lying down. How long does it take fart gas to travel to someone else's nose? Fart travel time depends on atmospheric conditions such as humidity, temperature and wind speed and direction, the molecular weight of the fart particles, and the distance between the fart transmitter and the fart receiver. Farts also disperse (spread out) as they leave the source, and their potency diminishes with dilution. Generally, if the fart is not detected within a few seconds, it will be too dilute for perception and will be lost into the atmosphere forever. Exceptional conditions exist when the fart is released into a small enclosed area such as an elevator, a small room, or a car. These conditions limit the amount of dilution possible, and the fart may remain in a smellable concentration for a long period of time, until it condenses on the walls. Why is there a 13 to 20 second delay between farting and the time it starts to smell? Actually, the fart stinks immediately upon emergence, but it takes several seconds for the odor to travel to the farter's nostrils. If farts could travel at the speed of sound, we would smell them almost instantly, at the same time we hear them. Is it true that some people never fart? No, not if they're alive. People even fart shortly after death. Do even movie stars fart? Yes, of course. So do grandmothers, priests, kings, presidents, opera singers, beauty queens, and nuns. Even Yoda farts. Do men fart more than women? No, women fart just as much as men. It's just that most men take more pride in it than most women. There is a large variation among individuals in the amount of fart gas produced per day, but the variation does not correlate with gender. I have read that men fart more often than women. If this is true, then women must be saving it up and expelling more gas per fart than men do. Do men's farts smell worse than women's farts? Based on what I have experienced of women's farts, all I can say is that I hope not. At what time of day is a gentleman most likely to fart? A gentleman is mostly likely to fart first thing in the morning, while in the bathroom. This is known as "morning thunder," and if the gentleman gets good resonance, it can be heard throughout the household. Why are beans so notorious for making people fart? Beans contain sugars that we humans cannot digest. When these sugars reach our intestines, the bacteria go wild, have a big feast, and make lots of gas! Other notorious fart-producing foods include corn, bell peppers, cabbage, milk, and raisins. A friend of mine had a dog who was exceptionally fond of apples and turnips. The dog would eat these things and then get prodigious gas. A dog's digestive system is not equipped to handle such vegetable matter, so the dog's bacteria worked overtime to produce remarkable flatulence. What things other than diet can make a person fart more than usual? People who swallow a lot of air fart more than people who don't. This can be cured somewhat by chewing with your mouth closed. Nervous people with fast moving bowels will fart more because less air is absorbed out of the intestines. Some disease conditions can cause excess flatulence. And going up in an airplane or other low-pressure environment can cause the gas inside you to expand and emerge as flatulence. Is a fart really just a burp that comes out the wrong end? No, a burp emerges from the stomach and has a different chemical composition from a fart. Farts have less atmospheric gas content and more bacterial gas content than burps. Is it harmful to hold in farts? There are differences in opinion on this one. Certainly, people have believed for centuries that retaining flatulence is bad for the health. Emperor Claudius even passed a law legalizing farting at banquets out of concern for people's health. There was a widespread belief that a person could be poisoned or catch a disease by retaining farts. Doctors I have spoken to recently have told me that there is no particular harm in holding in farts. Farts will not poison you; they are a natural component of your intestinal contents. The worst thing that can happen is that you may get a stomach ache from the gas pressure. But one doctor suggested that pathological distention of the bowel could result if a person holds in farts too much. How long would it be possible to not fart? As I understand it, a captive fart can escape as soon as the person relaxes. This means that a lot of people who assiduously refrain from farting during the day do so at great length as soon as they fall asleep. Having been on a great many overnight field trips, long bus trips, and trans-Pacific flights, I can personally vouch for the fact that lots of people do fart voluminously as they doze off. So the answer to the question would be, you can refrain from farting as long as you can stay awake! Do all people fart in their sleep? I have not made a scientific study of this, but I don't think all people fart in their sleep. I think mainly those who refuse to fart when they're awake do so when dozing off. For other people, toilet training takes such a strong hold that they let nothing pass their sphincters in sleep. For these people, the gas accumlates in the night and they vent it upon awakening. Where do farts go when you hold them in? How often have you held in a fart, intending to release it at the first appropriate opportunity, only to find that the fart has disappeared when you are ready for it? I asked several doctors where the fart goes. Does it leak out slowly without the person knowing it? Is it absorbed into the bloodstream? What happens to it? The doctors agree that the fart is neither released nor absorbed. It simply migrates back upward into the intestine and comes out later. It is reassuring to know that such farts aren't really lost, just delayed. How can one cover up a fart? There is a company called Fartypants that sells underwear designed to absorb the odor of farts. If you should be caught without your Fartypants, another ploy is to blame the dog or cat, if one should be present, or complain about how the wind must be blowing from the direction of the paper mill. As for the sound... if you are in a large group of people, act oblivious and innocent, or glance quickly at the person next to you, as if you think he/she did it. Other strategies include coughing or suddenly moving your chair so that people think that they misheard the fart. If you are with one other person, you can act as if nothing happened, and the other person may believe he was mistaken in thinking he heard a fart. CJT addresses the problem of farting loudly in a public restroom as follows: "My solution: use a handful of loose toilet paper, cover your butt hole and it will muffle the farting; my friends and I call it the 'Buff Muff'!" Depending upon the company, another strategy is not to cover it up, but to proudly proclaim the fart as your own grand accomplishment and to issue a challenge to the others to outdo that one if they think they can. Is it really possible to ignite farts? The answer to that is yes! However, you should be aware that people get injured igniting flatulence. Not only can the flame back up into your colon, but your clothing or other surroundings may catch on fire. A survey done by Fartcloud (the site, alas! is not more) indicates that about a quarter of the people who ignited their farts got burned doing it. Ignition of flatulence is a hazardous practice. However, if you want to try it, and you don't have a friend to light your fart for you, you might find it easier to accomplish the job using the Fartlighter. There have also been cases in which intestinal gases with a higher than normal oxygen content have exploded during surgery when electric cautery was used by the surgeon. Why is it possible to burn farts? Farts burn because they contain methane (usually) and hydrogen, both of which are flammable gases. (Hydrogen was the same gas that was used in the ill fated Hindenburg dirigible.) Farts tend to burn with a blue or yellow flame. Is it possible to light a match with a fart? No, even strike-anywhere matches have their limits, unless the fart has the consistency of sandpaper! Any fart that rough I would hesitate to call a fart. Also, farts have the same temperature as the body from which they emerge, and aren't hot enough to initiate combustion. Are there any books about farting? There are several! My favorite is the new book, Who Cut the Cheese: A Cultural History of the Fart by Jim Dawson. This book provides an entertaining and thought-provoking history of the fart in literature, language and society. It is very informative and very funny! Ben Franklin's classic Fart Proudly is still in print. There is a collection of suggestive photographs called Who Farted Now by St. Martin's Press. Most of the photos come from old movies and political shots. For children, we have the famous The Gas We Pass : The Story of Farts by Shinta Cho, and Amanda Mayer Stinchecum (Translator), and the Canadian picture book, Good Families Don't, by Alan Daniel and Robert N. Munsch, about a highly visible fart infesting a proper middle class family. Is it possible for a talented person to earn a living through flatulence? Few people earn their living directly via flatulence. But a friend of mine says that he saw a carnival act in which the performer whistled tunes with his farts, blew out candles on the opposite side of the stage, and sent flames all the way across the stage. A famous performer who earned his living this way was Le Petomane, who performed in France at the beginning of the 20th Century. However, my friend isn't old enough to have seen Le Petomane, so maybe he had a chance to see Mr. Methane. Mr. Methane lays claim to the distinction of being the world's only performing flatulist. His CD can be purchased at the FartMart. However, people may also earn a living through the prevention of flatulence (as do the manufacturers and sellers of Beano and other products), through the practice of medicine specializing in the treatment of flatulence and other gastrointestinal problems, by writing books about flatulence (see the question before this one), and through the production and sales of various fart gags such as whoopee cushions and farts in a can. Fartypants sells a fart filter and a number of other fart-related products. Ultratech Products, Inc., sells the Flatulence Filter, "an activated carbon air filter disguised as a seat cushion." (This link was discovered by Steve of Boulder, CO.) Maybe, if you're lucky, you'll be able to find a copy of Le Petomane's biography by searching at alibris.com. Last time I checked, they had two copies available! What other fart products are available? You can visit the FartMart to obtain an astounding number of wonderful fart products, including the famous Crepitation Contest CD, and several other recordings, Pull-My-Finger Fred (a doll that responds with farts and wisecracks), whoopie cushions and a variety of other fart-noise generating products (some of which are quite high tech), some products which produce a fart-like odor, prosthetic poop, fart sludge, and the famous Fart Machine. Why do dog and cat farts smell so bad? A carnivore's protein-rich diet produces relatively small amounts of intensely stinky gas because proteins contain lots of sulfur. A dog's or cat's farts are rarely audible, but the odor is overwhelming. I have asked biologists why dogs and cats generally fart silently, and their theories include: (1) the amount of gas produced is small, but potent, (2) the horizontal orientation of their gastrointestinal system puts less pressure on the anal opening, so the gas is expelled more slowly, (3) their anal sphincters don't close as tightly as humans' because it takes less force to hold in the contents of the colon -- again because of the horizontal orientation of the gastrointestinal system -- and a loose anus makes less sound, and, my favorite (4) dogs and cats don't feel embarrassed about farting, so their sphincters are more relaxed, leading to less noisy flatulence. Mike F. points out that many dog foods are soy-based, so on top of all the above factors, add beans and stand back! Large herbivorous animals such as cows, horses and elephants, on the other hand, produce vast quantities of relatively non-stinky fart gas. The farts of these animals are noisy and can go on for astoundingly long periods of time. Cows in particular are productive, in part because they swallow huge amounts of air. They need oxygen in their guts for the various protozoa employed there as digestive aids. Is it normal for dogs to like the smell of human farts? Yes, any odor that we find disgusting smells delicious to a dog. Dogs respond to the smell of farts, rotting fish, and carrion the same way we respond to the smell of bacon frying or cookies baking. A dog will often sniff the butt of the farter in order to inhale as much of the odor as possible. I have heard only one story about a dog being disconcerted by a fart. According to a friend, her brother once delivered a fart so evil that it made the dog sneeze, shake his head, and paw at his nose. That was either an unusual fart or an unusual dog. Do fish fart? According to our ichthyologist at the University of Guam, fish flatulence per se has not been studied, although people have investigated fish digestion. They find that although most fish have alkaline intestinal environments like our own, coral-eating fish have acidic intestinal contents. The acid serves to dissolve coral skeletal material. Coral has the same composition as Tums (calcium carbonate). One product of the reaction between acid and calcium carbonate is carbon dioxide gas. Therefore, it is logical to assume that coral-eating fish fart a lot. The other fish probably fart also, for the same reasons that we do. However, Mike Pulte, a great fish enthusiast, said that he has never seen a fish do it. I asked our ichthyologist if it were possible that fish gas would go into the swim bladder instead of out the anal opening. He said that modern fish have an air bladder that is independent of the gastrointestinal tract. The gas comes from enzymatic activity and not from the intestine. Older models of fish have their swim bladder connected to the gastrointestinal tract, but it is attached high up, closer to the mouth than to the other end, and these fish come to the surface and gulp air to fill the bladder. Therefore, we can assume that intestinal gas leaves the fish through the anal opening. We also pondered the possibility of fish making noise via flatulence, but apparently most fish noises are made through belching rather than farting. Lisa P., an aquarium enthusiast, reports that she has seen her fish fart: "I have four aquariums and many fish, and I have personally witnessed fish farting! My goldfish used to do it all the time! You'd see a little bubble come out of his anus and stay there, trapped in the mucus of a long string of poop. (Ugh!) And my opaline gourami does it too. Neither of these are coral-eating fish. I have only owned two coral-eating fish so far, but I have never seen either of them fart. It seems most likely to me that much of this gas comes from air swallowed during eating. Also, goldfish have a very simple digestive system and their food is absorbed inefficiently, so possibly the bacteria have more to feed on" Do turtles fart? Yes, turtles do fart, and their farts smell incredibly bad, as do the farts of snakes. In fact, it is my opinion, based on personal experience with reptiles and not on any formal research, that many reptiles use farts as a weapon. Reptile farts smell so bad that sometimes you can tell that one is nearby in the woods, even on a windy day, before you can see the animal. One day I was hiking through the woods in Arkansas with a friend and I told my friend, "I smell a snake fart." A second later, the snake crawled across the path. Astounding but true! In an article published in the December 2000 issue of Discover, "the world's leading expert on snake sounds," Bruce Young of LaFayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, affirmed that snakes do fart. The sonoran coral snake and the western hook-nosed snake fart with an audible popping sound when disturbed. Why do horse farts smell worse than people's farts? I'm not sure that horse farts smell worse than our farts, but they do smell different. Horses have a different diet from us and different gut microbes, so their farts have a different composition. They also fart more voluminously than humans, and the volume of the gas can be overwhelming if one is unfortunate enough to be near a farting horse indoors. What kind of animal has the highest worldwide output of flatulence? Believe it or not, the animal that wins this honor is the humble termite. Because of their diet and digestive processes (with more than the usual microbial assistance), they produce as much methane as human industry. Termite farts are believed to be a major contributor towards global warming. Is it true that cow farts contribute to global warming? Recent research has shown that most methane produced by cows and sheep emerges from the mouth rather than the anus. So one could more accurately say that cow and sheep belches are contributing to global warming. New Zealand researchers are investigating methods of breeding methane-free sheep. Is there any kind of animal that doesn't fart? If we define a fart to be an anal escape of intestinal gas, then it follows that animals that lack intestines or an anus cannot fart. Most animals possess intestines and an anus, but there are some that don't. These include: Sponges: These organisms lack true tissues and organs. They have just a few types of cells organized into a bag with holes in it. Water flows into some holes and out other holes. Sponges are so different from other animals that some biologists think we shouldn't even call them animals. Cnidaria: This phylum includes the jellyfish, corals, sea anemones and hydra. Their tissues are organized into a bag with a mouth surrounded by stinging tentacles. Food enters the mouth and is digested inside the bag, after which the leftovers are expelled via the same opening. In effect, the same hole serves as both a mouth and an anus. Any gas expelled by a cnidarian would be more appropriately termed a belch rather than a fart, since the animal lacks intestines and separate anus. Pogonophoran worms: These remarkable animals, who dwell on the sea floor near active volcanic regions associated with mid-ocean ridges, possess no mouth, no stomach, no intestines, and no anus. Apparently they retain their svelte, worm-shaped figures by giving up on eating completely! They survive by means of a mutualistic relationship with chemosynthetic bacteria that live in their flesh. Anyway, these animals cannot possibly fart. A second category of animals that probably don't fart are animals that live very deep underwater. At high pressures, gas remains in solution rather than forming bubbles. So there is a good chance that all those clams, echinoderms, fish and other animals living near the seafloor don't fart because their farts stay in solution and never emerge as bubbles, even though the animals possess perfectly good intestines and anuses. Is it possible to leave a brown spot on your pants because of a fart, and if so, what causes it? Judging from what I see when I do the laundry, I'd say that the answer to the first question is definitely yes. As for the causes, we must remember that what we call "fart" and what we call "poop" are just end-members of a continuum. That is, we can have a pure fart, or a pure poop, or anything in-between, depending upon the admixture of the two. If a sample consists mostly of poop with only a small fart component, you get such things as jet-propelled bowel movements and spongy, floating fecal masses (you know, the ones that refuse to be flushed down the toilet -- they keep popping back up). If the sample consists mostly of fart with only a small poop component, you get what is known as "skid marks" or "fart art." These can also result from inadequate wiping, but the shape of the stain is different in the two cases. Inadequate wiping leads to elongate marks parallel to one's crack, usually with well-defined edges, whereas fart art is generally more circular and has an air-brushed look. Fart art is most likely to occur if (1) a person is suffering from diarrhea, (2) the person is trying too hard to fart, and (3) the person mistakenly perceives the pressure against his sphincter to be gas pressure rather than liquid pressure. Again, that last situation is most likely to occur if the person is afflicted with diarrhea. How can we tell when it's only gas needing to come out, rather than something more serious? Our ability to distinguish between the need to fart and the need to poop is something that we learn gradually in the process of toilet training and early childhood. With the tactile nerve endings in the rectal area, we can actually feel different sensations depending upon what is waiting by the exit. Of course, sometimes we are fooled, especially if the substance at hand is extremely fluid in nature, and that is when we have the unfortunate accident of venting a squirt of diarrhea rather than an innocent fart. What is the best position for farting? That depends on what you are trying to achieve. Years and years ago, I read a novel (can't remember which) that had a character in it who was plagued with intestinal gas pain. The character would coax farts out by getting down on all fours with her butt in the air, pressing her thighs against her belly. So perhaps this is the best position for farting if you are having difficulty getting them to come out. Back when I was in geology field camp, we would sit around the campfire in the evening and ignite our flatulence. It was a ritual. When a fart was ready to emerge, the farter would announce, "I have one." And everyone else would intone, "Assume the proper position." The farter would lie back on his or her shoulders with back propped up, head between the knees, and posterior in the air. The purpose was to give the person with the match easy access to the critical vent. Expert farters of my acquaintance often shift their weight onto one leg and lift the other slightly when farting. I assume that this position is adopted less to aid in the farting process than to signal that a fart is imminent. Why do chicks always deny farting? I suppose I should start by saying that only some chicks deny farting. The rest of us acknowledge our gaseous accomplishments with pride. However, a great many sisters do deny farting. The reason is that they have been misled into thinking that farts are not ladylike. It is a great mistake to say that farting is not ladylike. The reason is that all people fart, including ladies. Anything that ladies do is by definition ladylike, and that includes the emission of anal gases. Is it possible that, by inhaling other people's farts all day long, my own farts will smell more? No, inhaled farts would go into the lungs rather than into the digestive system, and would simply be exhaled again, although it might be possible that some of the fart components might be absorbed into the blood. If you wanted to benefit from other people's farts in the way you describe, you would have to swallow them somehow. Is it possible to get stoned after inhaling two or three farts in a row? I am not aware of any intoxicating agents in flatulence. However, most farts contain very little oxygen, and you may experience dizziness if you are inhaling overly concentrated fart essence, simply from lack of oxygen. On the other hand, if you are inhaling farts in the open air and are breathing rapidly in order to inhale as much fart as possible, you may be hyperventilating, which also induces dizziness. Then there is the intrinsic hilarity factor: farts are so funny in both sound and odor that you might feel high just from the basic entertainment value of farts. Is it possible for a fart to kill you? A great many of you have asked if farts can be fatal, or if you can die from smelling a particularly bad fart. My initial response to this question was "no," but I thought I'd better ask a doctor. So now it is official, the medical opinion I received is no, a fart can't kill you. However, if you really work hard at it, you can manage to kill yourself with just about anything. I recently read of a man who hooked up his nose to his anus with a system involving a gas mask, rubber tubing and a hollow wooden post. He died of suffocation. This story comes from the Darwin Awards, and I personally cannot attest to the overall veracity of their stories. The story of the bed-bound obese man who died from inhaling his own flatulence (and whose farts almost killed the paramedics) is an urban legend that has been in circulation for some time. But according to Buzzbomb43, whom I quote: "In World War Two, the Air Force estimates that around 1000 to 2000 airmen were killed because of flatulence. The reason is B-17 bombers were not pressurized, so when bomber crews operated around 20,000 feet, the gas would expand and rupture their intestines." Now, that is a nasty way to go! There are also, of course, (in)famous stories about excessive farters that bio-hazard small toilet rooms, and when they try to light a cigarette the flame ignites the gas-rich-environment causing an explosion. My personal view about such stories is one of doubt. When you smoke and you fart does it make it smell any worse? (Brittney) Only if you swallow the cigarettes after smoking Brittney. If you settle for traditional smoking (inhaling) - the smoke will travel to your respiratory system and not to your digestive system and hence will have little-to-no effect on the odour of your farts. Of course, a minute mass of smoked Nicotine can (and does) migrate from the respiratory system into blood vessels and downstream to the digestive system (Nicotine is actually a known laxative), but the proportions are too small to contribute dearly to the odours you contribute. However, if you do swallow your cigarettes after smoking - its a different ball game. Cigarettes are produced with measures of Ammonia which certainly intensify gaseous odours. My advise for you therefore is not to swallow. I am guessing the reason why certain people think cigarettes might intensify the bad smell of a fart has to do with the fact both farts and cigarettes produce bad odours. I don't think however that this is a case of competing bad odours that in blend will create a third - even worst odour. Last, while I do not advise you to ever quit farting - I do strongly advise to quit smoking. Can excessive farting cause impotence? That depends on the tolerance level of the person with whom one is trying to be potent! Fortunately for humans, farting doesn't cause tissue damage. Other animals aren't so lucky. Soldier termites can actually turn themselves into bombs by detonating themselves via the explosive release of gas and feces, a process called "autothysis." Is it possible to inhale (suck in air) via one's anal opening? Yes, but it's a rare talent. The great early 20th Century French flatulist, Le Petomane, was able to do this, and in fact was able to suck up an entire bowlful of water (just the water, not the bowl) into his colon and expel it again with considerable force. By sucking in large quantities of air, he was able to perform lengthy shows on stage, and could imitate musical instruments, farm animals, and bird songs, whistle melodies, and play the ocarina. His productions were said to be virtually odorless, which is to be expected from air obtained directly from the outside. Here is a message I received recently (November, 1999) regarding the skill of inhaling via the anus: "i would just like you to know that i am part of a trio, who can suck in air in our anal openings. we are somewhat air-bandits. we can let the longest farts you have ever heard. our record holder, chad, stands at 24 sec. the record for most farts in a row is derek, at 492. and i, robert, have earned such nicknames as: Mad Crapper, gurglemeister, and old wetful. We have followed Le Petomane example, and have mastered the art of farting." Jason W. says, "I am a 16 year old guy that is a part of a 3-man fart on command group. We get together every Saturday night andpractice our talent to songs with a good beat. We accomplish this by getting on our hands and knees, completely relaxing, and our butt hole just opens up and air just seeps into our colons. We then get into position and let them rip. We can so far play a song called "THE EYE OF THE TIGER" (Rocky 3 theme song). We came across another group of 4 guys that can do this during the winter of 2001. We started to get together with them more frequently, and now we have a full fledged band going all on farting...We are going to try to make a CD on some songs we know, but no one wants to let us...I personally have let a fart go for about 75 seconds. On average each Saturday night we let off about 1000 farts EACH! The only problem with flatulating when we want is that now 2 of us can't help but sucking in air through our anus when we sit down." Jason has also provided the following instructions for people who would like to acquire this skill: 1) Get a pillow and a soft surface. 2) Place your ear on the pillow with your head turned sideways. 3) Put your butt up in the air, bringing your knees as close up to your head as possible. This relaxes your anal opening. 4) Once you're relaxed enough, you should feel a strange sensation...this is air traveling into your colon. 5) Through practice you will be able to do this by just sitting down. Adam reports that a student at his high school, known as "The King" could fart "God Save the Queen" by alternately inhaling and exhaling through his anus. The students refered to the inhaling process as "input." Is it possible to swallow smoke and then fart it out your anus? No, smoke consists of solid particles suspended in air. When such a mixture enters the digestive system, the solids condense on the walls and other objects in the gut, or go into suspension in liquids in the system. However, for people capable of inhaling through the anus, it is possible to smoke a cigarette with the anal opening and then blow the smoke back out. What causes the burning sensation that sometimes accompanies a fart? This is generally caused by a recent meal of hot peppers or related spices. The oils associated with these foods remain intact and active all the way through one's gastrointestinal system. If you fart in the bathtub, is the water polluted and should you refill the tub? As long as what comes out is only fart and no poop, your bath water should not be significantly polluted. Most of the gas just bubbles up and contaminates the air rather than the water. Is it true that a woman can fart out of her, shall we say, frontal opening, and if so, where does the gas come from? Yes, it is true! The gas that emerges is simply trapped air, for there is no gas production in the genitalia of a woman. The air can enter because the system is open to the outside. This highly specialized kind of fart is sometimes called a queef. This occurs especially frequently during the sex act, when air in the genitalia gets compressed and is forced out at high pressure. Can a man fart out of his genital opening? I have asked various men this question and they all deny it emphatically. However, elrondh contributed the information that under certain rare and artificially-induced circumstances, a man might pass gas through his penis. In this case, the man's bladder had been inflated for a medical procedure, the air introduced via catheter inserted through the urethra. This gas escaped during later attempts to urinate, "accompanied by a brief but sharp burning sensation." Is it possible to capture a fart in a jar and save it for later use? It should be theoretically possible to do this, but there would be lots of logistical problems. I would suggest using a plastic bag instead of a jar. You might try the following as a science fair experiment: Fart into several plastic bags and seal them carefully. Then fill several other plastic bags with ordinary air. Wait 24 hours. Then get volunteers to smell the contents of the bags to see if they can correctly identify which ones contain the farts. This should tell you if it is possible to store a fart in any useful way. Malachi and Megaera have come up with a way to capture a fart in a jar. They say to do it in the bathtub while bathing. Fill the jar with bath water and then hold it with the open end downward. Lean back in the bathtub so that your fart bubbles will emerge in front of you rather than behind you where you can't see them. Catch the bubbles in the jar, and put the lid on the jar while it's still underwater. This way, you capture a fairly pure fart uncontaminated by atmospheric air. To enjoy your captured fart to the fullest extent, make sure that your jar does not already smell like whatever was it it before, like pickles or peanut butter. Meep wrote to say that her fiancé was an expert fart collector at the age of ten. He used Kodak film canisters, and kept them on a shelf in his room. Experiments on his mother proved the efficacy of his method. Is it weird to enjoy farting? It is not unusual to enjoy farting. I believe that enjoyment of farting is a healthy attitude, since everyone has to fart. If a person is farting to the extent that it creates problems and unhappiness, then a visit to a doctor is in order. Is it common for people to enjoy smelling their own farts? I believe that it is not only common, it is universal. A person farts and then thinks, at least subconsciously, "Wow, I made that!" Can farting be considered sexy? Everything imaginable, and many things not imaginable, can be considered sexy by humans. However, the female southern pine beetle exudes a pheromone called frontalin in her flatulence that not only serves to attract males but acts as a general gathering call to both males and females of her species. Her farts are an invitation to an orgy. Unfortunately for her, her frontalin-laden farts also attract predators. What color is a fart? Farts are, alas, colorless. All of the gases that make up farts have no inherent color. But just think of how interesting it would be if farts were bright orange like nitrogen dioxide gas! It would certainly take the mystery out of who farted. Never-the-less, a high-personality gas like fart gas suggests color to people. Some people envision farts as brown, others as green or yellow. I have always thought of farts as brown, presumably because poop is brown. When someone farts in our car, that person might say, "You better not breathe through your mouth for awhile, or your teeth will turn brown." I knew a toddler who used to draw pictures of farts as yellow rectangles full of holes, like a slice of Swiss cheese. She thought of farts as yellow, and said that she knew they were rectangular because she could feel the sharp corners scraping against her on the way out! Ernie C. suggests that if farts were visible, they would look like pork rinds. Helen says, "It always seemed to me like farts were lumps of coal, black in color and irregularly spherical in shape." Do other people smell a fart better than the farter? The fart should smell just as much for the person who created it as it does for other people. However, the farter is somewhat protected by having the fart propelled away from his body in a direction opposite to his nose. Farting upwind nullifies this advantage. Why is it that when you scratch your *** through two layers of clothing (your underwear and your jeans) your fingers still stink? As pointed out by Barb F., who contributed the term to the fart thesaurus, a fart can be regarded as "aerosolized poop," which means that microscopic fragments and droplets of poop are actually distributed throughout the gaseous matrix of the fart. When delivered from the anus with some force, the components of the fart can penetrate one's clothing and these tiny particles can be trapped in the fibers of the cloth. The particles are transferred to your fingers and then your nose when you scratch and sniff. Why is it sometimes possible to taste farts? The sense of taste detects substances that are either liquid or dissolved in liquid. You can taste a fart when the fart's constituent molecules go into solution in your saliva. Do fart particles disperse in the air and float around until they hit something and then stick to it? The ultimate fate of fart particles depends on the nature of the particles. Gas molecules mostly mix into the atmosphere, although some may react chemically to form new substances. Aerosolized particles of liquid and solid poop probably do condense on surfaces. Most of these particles are polar (with a positively charged end and a negatively charged end) and are attracted to other polar substances or charged surfaces like a monitor screen. Other fart particles condense on microscopic water droplets in the air if the humidity is very high (as in a bathroom), and some particles go into solution in water. Is it possible to have bloody farts? Yes, this can happen if you are suffering from an anal fissure, a split in the wall of the colon. It can also happen to a woman who experiences a queef during her period. Why do farts seem to follow the farter? I'm sure that everyone has experienced this phenomenon, in which one delivers oneself forth of a silent but potent gaseous emission and then steps rapidly away, only to have the fart cling to one's person. Part of the reason for this annoying characteristic of farts is the turbulence that follows in the wake of a moving person. The fart "slip streams" or is actually pulled along in the farter's direction by the air currents behind the person. Another factor is that part of the fart is caught in the farter's clothing, and diffuses out slowly after the main part of the emission has dispersed. Why do farts smell so much worse in a shower than anywhere else? There are several factors. First of all, a shower is a small, enclosed space, so the fart gas is more concentrated, and the high turbidity of the air in the shower circulates the gas through the space effectively. Secondly, the high humidity and high temperature conditions in the shower enhance a person's sense of smell and taste. The farts don't actually smell worse, it's just that we can smell them better than usual. Similar conditions prevail in the bathtub. What would happen if someone farted on Venus? If Venus's surface temperature were a mere 200 to 300 degrees Fahrenheit, liquid water could exist there because of Venus's extremely high atmospheric pressure. But the temperature on Venus is almost 900 degrees Fahrenheit. Because humans are mostly water, a person would not simply emit gas on Venus, but would become gas, a whole-body fart. Venus already has a lot of sulfur compounds in its atmosphere, so a fart on Venus probably wouldn't even produce much of a smell. If you were in space without a suit, would a fart have the energy to propel you forward? Yes, a fart should propel you forward, since there is virtually no opposing force in the form of friction or gravity to counteract the force of the fart. Is it possible to freeze farts, and would they still be smelly after they are defrosted? The water vapor component of farts would freeze quite readily, but to freeze the entire fart would require high pressure and low temperature conditions such as that used to produce dry ice. The fart's composition would be unchanged by the process, and hence would still be smelly upon reversion to the gaseous state. Is it possible for a fart to rip your underwear? This is unlikely, because most underwear is made of material with a fairly high tensile strength, meaning that it can endure a certain level of extensional stress without brittle failure. Furthermore, the porous nature of underwear fabrics allows much of the fart's force to pass through the spaces rather than to stress the fabric. Where does the word "fart" come from? According to Eric Partridge in his excellent book of word origins (Origins: A Short Etymological Dictionary of Modern English), our word fart comes from the Old English word feortan, presumably of echoic origin, meaning that the word was chosen to sound like the object named. When it is cold outside and you fart, can you see it like you can see your breath? Now, that's an interesting idea! My guess would be yes, since farts are nice and moist like our breath, but this is one question that I'm not in a position to answer. I live in the tropics, and it never gets cold here. Several people have tried the experiment and have written to tell me the results. Most people said that they could indeed see their farts, but one person said that he couldn't see it even with his pants off. Here is what anywhere32 reported: "In the boys' locker room after morning water polo practice it was cold out and one of the players only had on his speedo and let out a fart. About four of us saw it and couldn't contain our laughter for the rest of the day." John of the UK said, "Farts expelled in cold air leave what can only be described as a long bushy tail. This is quite funny waiting on a train station platform on a cold dark frosty morning. A person will move away from everyone to a safe distance, and then release a long quiet fart, only to have a sudden and dramatic long bushy white tail coming from their anus; it goes down a little way and slowly curves up ending in a point, just like a dogs tail!" What are some other words for fart? The word "fart" is both a noun (referring to the substance and the sound), and a verb (referring to the act of farting). i seriously have no idea how this was posted as r & s!!!! but i hope u enjoy it as wierd as it is! i just copied and pasted it!! i thought it was funny
