I am moving into a new home (the living room is small) and would like some tips on decorating it in Asian/Oriental decor. I have always loved this decor. Where do I start? My budget is rather small also.

I have an old kitchen from the 1920′s/1930′s that I want to redo. I don’t have the money to get really modern cabinets/counters and all that. I am simply having a new wood look floor installed. The only cabinets are a small section of painted old style, from floor to ceiling, cabinets with glass doors on the top part, which I love. The room size is 13′ x 14′ with 9′ ceilings. I have a lot of woodwork because there are two windows and four doorways and the cabinets in the room. So far I have primed everything and my dilemma now is a color scheme. At first I was thinking all white walls and woodwork for a bright and fresh look and add color with new curtains and decorations, etc.. But now I need ideas, because I just can’t decide. I tend to like an old fashioned or country look. I dont want to stain, I want to used only paint. Anyone have any ideas? My light in the kitchen is punched tin and my kitchen set is the farm table style. My floor will be an oak color (fake wood) laminent. Also, if anyone knows of any websites that can give me ideas, that would be great too. I get country home magazine but it hasn’t been too helpful. My livingroom that leads into my kitchen has a country decor with tans, burgundy and black. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have an old victorian home. The fireplace in the living room has been sealed up & I was wondering if there are any types of candel holders I can mount to the cement to make it look like there is a fire lit. Is there a web site anyone knows about? Thank you!
I like walking in to model homes and seeing them all “staged” and ready to be moved in. Obviously this is a marketing gimick but towards the end of the selling phase, do companies sell these model homes as is or do they empty them out before selling?
I’m a nineteen year old student, living at home, and I’m looking to change my room decor. I have fairly ecclectic furniture, and even more ecclectic tastes. Any ideas for paint colors / treatments / linens / window treatments / throw rugs? Thanks!
