When there is a routine meal or a special occasion with family and friends, the dining room in a house becomes the center of attention. A dining room is not only about tables, buffets and chairs. Something equally important is the curtains and drapes. Fabric adds a touch of softness amidst all the hard furniture.

One can choose big flowing curtains that puddle on the floor or give it a more tailored look by choosing something of a bit streamlined. The motive is generally to use the expanse of fabric to add softness. Popularly the fabric that is used for tablecloths and seat cushions is also used for the window treatments. If this looks old fashioned, one can also use a solid color present in a piece of art or another fabric. A formal and dramatic look can be enhanced by using elegant silk or rich velvets. A lighter or casual look can be given by using cottons or linens.

When one uses long window treatments the curtains and drapes should at least skim the floor. They can also puddle a little but shouldn’t be short. The drapes look truncated if they are not long enough. Balance is the key to good interior designing. It is good to add a little softness to a room with a lot of furniture. Adding pretty curtains and drapes is the best way to do it.

A great look can be added to a room through interior designing. A lot of homes, companies and commercial places go for interior designing. Hence its demand has increased during recent times. My business (link & name removed) have made it their motto to provide the best possible service to provide maximum satisfaction.

Finally, a daredevil among men, someone who speaks his mind around here.

I approve of this message.

I'm going to have to stop you right there. A dining room is, by definition, about the tables and chairs. Someplace to sit down and eat, that's the definition of a dining room. To claim that the curtains and drapes are equally important is pretty outrageous, so I'm going to have to see some sources to back that up. You also overgeneralize, and fail to account for dining room layouts that don't match your hypothesis, for example windowless dining rooms, or dining rooms that have soft furniture.

Again, you're assuming that the purpose of curtains and drapes is to add this so-called "softness" to the dining room area. That's a fallacy, and if your entire argument is built around this straw man, then I'm afraid this discussion is over.

There you go again, with the softness thing. Seriously, I have yet to see you cite a single source relating to this concept of softness. You haven't even clearly defined what you're saying, and you're just using vague terms in an attempt to confuse and obfuscate.

That's your conclusion? How can you say interior designing can add to the look of a room, when you can't even prove your drapes are soft, or that drapes are necessary at all? You also fail to address several important issues, foremost among them the argument of whether the curtains should match the carpet.

Shegokigo , customer for you! He's got the number 7 with extra skewers under the nails.

I have been following the stories and comments surrounding Mr. Sean Beck, and frankly, I'm appalled. Why does Sean hate our country? To get right down to it, Sean is a man utterly without honor, without principles, without a shred of genuine patriotism. That's why I say that he has been fairly successful in his efforts to eat our nation to its bones. That just goes to show what can be done with a little greed, a complete lack of scruples, and the help of a bunch of cantankerous underachievers.
Almost every day, Sean outreaches himself in setting new records for arrogance, deceit, and greed. It's decidedly breathtaking to watch him. He claims that without his superior guidance, we will go nowhere. I would say that that claim is 70% folderol, 20% twaddle, and 10% another haughty attempt to replace discourse and open dialogue with blasphemous convictions and blatant ugliness. A central fault line runs through each of Sean's strictures. Specifically, I have never read anything Sean has written that I would consider wise, logical, pertinent, reasonable, or scientific. His statement that obstructionism is the only alternative to miserabilism is no exception. What's more, I am aware that many people may object to the severity of my language. But is there no cause for severity? Naturally, I think that there is because his slurs are a sociopolitical tragicomedy. On the one hand, they oppress, segregate, and punish others, but on the other hand, they undermine the current world order. The most entertaining part, though, is that there are many roads leading to the defeat of Sean's plans to shackle us with the chains of presenteeism. I believe that all of these roads must eventually pass through the same set of gates: the ability to challenge the soft bigotry of low expectations.
Sean is trying to brainwash us. He wants us to believe that it's soulless to prescribe a course of action; that's boring; that's not cool. You know what I think of that, don't you? I think that our path is set. By this, I mean that in order to strengthen our roots so we can weather the storms that threaten our foundation, we must shoo him away like the annoying bug that he is. I consider that requirement a small price to pay because if Sean had done his homework, he'd know that I condemn his gross and systematic violations of human rights. I'm not just talking about the arbitrary detentions, enforced disappearances, torture, and summary executions but also about my previous observation that Sean intends to put his insensitive junta in charge of setting the wolf to mind the sheep. We should not stand for that, with that, or by that. Rather, we should make it clear that in asserting that his crimes are victimless, Sean demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision.
As will become apparent eventually, Sean's criticisms of my letters have never successfully disproved a single fact I ever presented. Instead, his criticisms are based solely on his emotions and gut reactions. Well, I refuse to get caught up in Sean's "I think … I believe … I feel" game. You'd think that someone would have done something by now to thwart Sean's plans to take rights away from individuals whom only Sean perceives as antisocial. Unfortunately, most people are quite happy to "go along to get along" and are rather reluctant to make this world a kinder, gentler place. It is imperative that we inform such people that he actually believes that our only chance of saving the planet is to accept unending regulations and straightjacket "reforms" from his operatives. True, Sean has a right to his opinion. In his mind, he also apparently has a right to be a clumsy jerk as evidenced by his endless attempts to bombard me with insults.
Because of Sean's eagerness to participate in riots, he has called people like me contumelious lugs, deplorable faitours, and malefic, mephitic dummkopfs so many times that these accusations no longer have any sting. Sean unquestionably continues to employ such insults because he's run out of logical arguments. I suppose an alternate explanation is that Sean uses people and destroys lives without compunction. Disguised in this drollery is an important message: If I seem a bit malevolent, it's only because I'm trying to communicate with Sean on his own level. I never used to be particularly concerned about Sean's reinterpretations of historic events. Any damned fool, or so I thought, could see that everything I've said so far is by way of introduction to the key point I want to make in this letter. My key point is that it seems clear that Sean's loopy smear tactics contain a supraliminal echo of nativism. But we ought to look at the matter in a broader framework before we draw final conclusions on the subject: We see that Sean has compiled an impressive list of grievances against me. Not only are all of these grievances completely fictitious, but Sean is the type of person that turns up his nose at people like you and me. I guess that's because we haven't the faintest notion about the things that really matter such as why it would be good for him to ensure that there can never in the future be accord, unity, or a common, agreed-upon destiny among the citizens of this once-great nation. Last but not least, in spite of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, many otherwise intelligent people continue to believe, thanks to Mr. Sean Beck, that our country's security, prestige, and financial interests are best served by war and the ever-present threat of war.

Dining...room?

Where I live the party id in the Kitchen. That's why we call them Kitchen Parties. It's where the drinks and food are, generally where the hostess is hanging out...so why the fuck have a party in a stuffy old dining room?

This... THIS is the best spambot ever.

Dave, can we keep him? Pleeeease? I'll water him every day!

I'll allow it.

That's true. When you have guests over it's when it's specially important that the curtains match the drapes.

Done.

I haven't eaten a meal in a "dining room" since I was 9? 12? Even when I lived with my parents I didn't eat at the "dining room table" after 8 ish.

Seriously, every place I've ever lived in on my own, the "dining room" was usually turned into an extension of my living room

Someday I'll hire this guy to put up some curtains around my house. Ours are fugly.

And if someday I have a classy dining room maybe there too.

The real question on everyone's mind I think is "Does the carpet match the drapes?"

Clearly the people who enjoy the male genitalia of mythical half-man, half-bull creatures also care about the drapes matching the rug.

I've heard a lot about the drapes here, but what about the rug?

But if I were to ensure the drapes were matching the rug I'd have to remove them.

I'm glad we've decided to let this guy...hang around!

Get it? See, 'cause it's about curtains, that you hang? But it's also about someone who spends time with you or other people? And it's a mix of the word 'hang' because it has a double connotative meaning?

Dude, I hate to be the one to have to say this, but you're just going to have to man up and make the routine or special occasion. It isn't going to magically happen without effort, and quite frankly your friends are right to avoid bringing the subject up because if you don't actively show interest then you might as well be a plant. Probably a fern - they're all frondy and look nice, but they don't go out and get what they want.

Bottom line, you're going to have to put on your big boy pants and act like an adult. Life isn't going to coddle you, hand you a glass of warm milk, and tell you it's ok to hang out in the basement with your "action figures" while the world passes you by.

You have to keep your life in valence - if you holdback now, it's curtains for your social life. Don't be the creepy neighbor with glazed eyes who experiences the world through your window. Those people are just a pane for the rest of us. Pull the blinds and it's even worse - you might as well consider yourself a shutter-in. It's all about maintaining an even tempered demeanor.

Sill, I think there's hope. If you can hold your anxiety at bay, emerge from your casement, and be a MAN, then people might actually approach you.

If you're awesome enough, they might wonder if you're double-hung.

If you're having trouble framing what I'm saying in your mind, I suggest professional therapy.

You know?




on your prom night?

Detective Sean Beck was one of, if not the best, partners I ever had.

I can still remember the night he told me about his big retirement plan. We were staking out some meth dealer's apartment, silently waiting in his shitty Toyota Camry. The air inside the car was thick with the smell of old air fresheners and the smoke from the cigarettes we had just lit. We hadn't said a word for hours, just watching the entrance and listening to the feed from the bug. Sean had finally broken the silence.

"What do you think you'll do, after this?"

"Sleep. Haven't had any in a while."

"No, I mean after THIS. All this. After you quit the force."

"Oh...Shit, I dunno. Haven't thought about it."

He looked at me for a moment, letting out a small laugh before turning his gaze back to the apartment's entrance. He didn't push the matter further, but his body screamed out that he wanted to. He kept looking down at his hands on the steering wheel, then to me, and then back to the entrance.

"Why? What do YOU want to do after you retire?"

He didn't answer at first, just turned to look up at the apartment windows. "Drapes."

"What?"

"Drapes." He turned back to face me. "You know, curtains and shit. Setting up arrangements."

I didn't respond, just quietly looked him over through the smokey haze. He was shitting me, he had to be.

"I know, I know. But...Marie and I...we were redecorating the kitchen the other day. She had bought new drapes and was so excited to put them up. And...I don't know; she just looked perfect trying to put them up. Wrapped up in that scarlet cloth..."

I couldn't hold in my laughter at this point. "So, what, you're going to just go in to curtain work because you like how your wife looks around them?"

"There's more to it than that! I think I'm quite good at it...I got 'em arranged all nice...The kitchen really pops now, y'know?"

"Yeah, sure. Hey, after this you maybe want to go get our nails done? Braid each other's hair?"

He waved me off, opening his door as he did so. "Fuck you. I'm going to go take a leak. Keep an eye out, yeah?"

I couldn't stop chuckling as he walked towards some nearby bushes. Truth be told I didn't really give a shit what he did with his life, but Sean always put off this macho attitude. To hear he was in to something like interior design was enough to raise a laugh out of me. In fact, I could probably get a few more good jokes in. I rolled my window down to stick my head out.

"Hey, I was just kidding! We could eat ice cream and watch Sex in th-"

A gunshot. From where I didn't know, but Sean was down on the ground. Letting out a few expletives I bolted out of the car to where his body was, crumpled near the bush. I dragged him behind the car, the occasional bullet impacting around us. Once he was safe from the line of fire, I radioed for backup. Looking at him, I could tell it wasn't good. He was breathing;moaning, but there was a ton of blood coming from his waist.

"My legs...I can't feel my legs."

"Just stay still, Sean. Help's on the way."

"The drapes, Chip. The drapes."

"I know, you'll be the best damn interior designer Sean. Now just stay still."

"Third...floor...If they switched to a fuchsia, or lavender...The window would really....pop..."
