Oh yes some of you may think its too early to celebrate and buy things . But, since I live so far away and can only take certain days off. We get together in October.

What store sells good dinnerware?

GIVE ME MY

Okay, me and my girlfriend are heading to pueblo, colorado. To do some shopping, we have stuff that we want to get, but i come from a poor family. I never been to these fancy expensive stores...

So i want to know what store sells good cobalt blue glasses, plates bowls as a new set of dishes for my moms birthday!

Thanks

Answer
Pier 1 Imports, look in out of the way Antique stores, and also Marshalls and at all costs avoid the specialty kitchen shops. Unless they are having 1/2 or more sales. If you want new you need to shop for new. If she is a collector she might like some vintage pieces. Good luck and remember in antique and thrift stores prices are definitely negotiable.

Does anyone know a cute place besides urban outfitters to buy cute/trendy dinnerware?

Answer
Try Pier 1 :) I don't know what you consider "trendy," but Pier 1 always has cute and unique designs. I like these sets:

They do have some pretty weird stuff--a elephant teapot, for example. Its worth a try, though. Good luck :)

What are some helpful tips for moving into first apartment?

dinnerware sets pier 1 image

Q. I am moving into my first apartment by myself in a few weeks. Its a one bedroom, and the guy who rented before is leaving a lot of his things (bed, entertainment center, kitchen table, etc). What is some advice, or things I need to buy in order to have a gorgeous apartment that I will love?
Thanks everyone!!
The guy who had the apartment before me is a family friend-- so its not like its creepy or anything. I am definitly buying a new mattress though. And he couldn't take everything because he moved from florida to arizona with just a small Uhaul.

Answer
First of all, let me say--CONGRATULATIONS!!! Renting your first apartment is very rewarding and at the same time challenging. Be sure that the things the other renter left behind are in good condition or at least partial condition because you don't want these things to cause you trouble down the road. Once you move your things in, be sure you do a thorough "clean-thru" before you start placing things where you want them. When I say "clean-thru," I mean go room by room and sweep/mop the floors, vacuum floors ( if carpeted), clean windows, if windows open, air the rooms out for a couple of hours, (don't forget to close if you go out), make sure you do a VERY thorough clean-thru in the bathroom.....VERY important. Clean the shower/tub, sink, and toilet with all purpose cleaner so any/all germs will be killed. Place air fresheners in every room so they will have a clean scent to them at all times. The best ones I've found that do a pretty good job are the Glade scented oils and those air fresheners that release a mist of freshness every few minutes. You can set the timer for however often you want the mist to release into the room. I like the mists, but my favorite is the scented oils. To me it seems they last longer. A few things you can buy for your apartment are listed below:

1. Broom, dust pan, mop, bucket, vacuum(if floors carpeted)

2. Trash can for kitchen, bathroom, bed room

3. Cleaning supplies for bathroom use, kitchen use, and regular houskeeping use

4. Bathroom set (includes--shower curtain, soap dish, toothbrush holder, trashcan, lotion holder, and most importantly.....towel and washcloth set) (hint: shower curtain usually comes with the inside panel; the towel and washcloth set should have two washcloths, two hand towels, and two bath towels--you can pick what color, design, etc. you want--depends on your taste--bathroom set should all coordinate)

5. Make sure you have enough washcloths, towels, etc. not only for yourself, but guests as well

6. PLEASE make sure you have PLENTY of toilet paper....this one is a BIGGIE!!!

7. You also need to get a matching kitchen set which should include dish cloth, dish towel, and if you prefer....matching pot holder and glove

8. Make sure you get yourself a can opener and a hand can opener in case something goes wrong with the regular can opener.

9. Get yourself a nice dishrack, silverware tray, and a few kitchen counter essentials that you can decorate the counter with. (ex. sugar, flour, pasta, and cookie jars)--you can also get those bottles that have dried vegetables/beans in them too--look in houseware/kitchenware aisles

10. You can also get mats to put at front/back doors to keep yourself as well as guests from tracking dirt, mud, etc. into apartment. You can also get area rugs to place in rooms throughout apartment as well.

11. Last but not least--if you would like, place a nice wreath on outside of door to make your home as inviting to guests as it is to you. (another favorite of mine is the ficus trees you find in most people's living rooms. One on either side of couch, loveseat, and what have have you makes your home look gorgeous as well.

12. MOST IMPORTANT--most everything I've listed above can be found at Wal-Mart, Kmart, Pier 1(nice prices), Target, and even at a few other little stores around--Family Dollar, Dollar General

Whatever you decide, make your apartment feel as much as home to you as you possibly can.

Again, congratulations, and may your home say to you....home sweet home.


P.S. Don't forget the dinnerware--plates, cups, bowls--this comes in a set as well--

I know your apartment will be BEAUTIFUL.....congrats!!
