dining chairs with rollers image
hahahearts
Firstly, we have sort of seafoam green couches in the living room and the same shade green cushions directly on the chairs in the dining room. What colours would go with this for paint? Any other tips for anything else would be appreciated. We are looking to paint our entire apartment!
Answer
first and most important. check with management to confirm you can paint, and what you must do. it is likely they will want you to repaint the apartment to the original color when you leave. also, VERY IMPORTANT, get the permission in writing. if management changes and you don't have a wirtten permission it could get very expensive. a subsequent manager could have a professional painter repaint and make you pay for it. and be within his rights doing it.
after this is all done you need to go to the paint store and buy blue painters tape ( this is like normal masking tape, BUT it doen't leave adhesive residue and won't take the finish off whatever you apply it to. apartments are usually painted all white (floors/ceilings/etc. this is because it's fast and neutral-this is, also, why management will most likely want it returned to the original color) white is easily covered-especially if you're repainting it white. if you paint the trim another color you will need to return it to the original color-when you approach management tell them outfront that you will repaint everything the way it was before you leave the apartment-and mention that will prevent them having to repaint after you leave. tell them you will patch all holes and leave the apartment ready to rent-like you found it. this will be your best cahance to get permission. this aggrement ( taken by you to management) can then be put in your file-this gets the manager out of trouble. BUTTTTTT get that letter from the manager showing that you had permission to do this!!!
then cover anything you don't want paint on. plastic on the floors windows etc. you might try painting one room or so at a time that will alow you to have a place to move furniture so you don't have to worry about getting paint on it. otherwise, put it all in the cinter of the room and cover it well with plastic/a tarp/something to prevent damage. assume you're going to get paint on everything-so-if it's covered no harm-no foul. put your paint brushes and rollers in trash bags at night and seal them as well as you can-this will prevent you from having to clean them every night. you can use the stuff 3 or 4 days this way before you have to clean-use cheap brushes and rollers-then throw them away when you're finished. you can make a much bigger mess trying to clean brushes and rollers than actually painting. the biggest trick to paint is to try to get the paint spread evenly ( not thick and thin) and two thin coats is better than one thick coat. you can start the second coat when the first coat is NOT tacky to the touch. it will not be completely dry, but dry enough to put the second coat on.
next, have everything you need before you start-laid out ready and at hand-when using a roller try not to go too fast if you do it will sling the paint everywhere-make the first run (when the roller has the most paint in it) pretty slow you will find out fairly quickly how much space you can cover with each roller of paint-then zig-zag the roller over that area-then go back and pick up the paint you left on the wall to cover the area you're covering with that roller of paint.
and last--have fun!!

Best Disney park for teenagers and other information?
Erin
My mom's letting me basically plan our family vacation to disney this year. I just have to stay in the budget she gave me. It can't be super expensive so were only going down to florida for four days. On to the question though, what park would be the most worthwhile going to for teenagers? Also, would it be interesting enough if we just went to one park for one day and thats it? Or go for two days to two different parks? Or even just get a ticket for one day and get a park hopper pass?
Also, what should I wear there? I don't know the weather and I was wondering if like tan shorts and like a shortsleeve polo shirt would be comfy enough to last all day at the park?
Also what shoes would you recommend wearing? I hate wearing sneakers, so not those. Would sperry's be comfortable to wear the whole day?
Answer
First off, you should definitely visit more than one park. One day and one park isn't enough for Walt Disney World (if you can help it).
If it's just teenagers and your mother, then you might want to skip Magic Kingdom, actually. Magic Kingdom is absolutely iconic, but out of all the parks, it tailors most to children. Despite this, though, I (a teenager) absolutely love Magic Kingdom because it has that undeniable, otherworldly sense of "magic" in the air. But the typical teenager (who isn't an all-things Disney fan) would rather go to one of the other three parks, so I will address those.
Hollywood Studios: A great park for every age. It has Rock'n' Roller Coaster (an excellent ride), Toy Story Mania (a 4D carnival-style interactive game ride), Tower of Terror (a thrill ride not for the skittish), "Lights, Motors, Action", a stadium show of Hollywood-style car chases, and the Studio Backlot tour (a tram ride that takes you to see real costumes and props used in Disney films). Those are the main attractions. Oh! And don't forget about "Fantasmic", the nighttime stadium water show of fireworks and lights.
Epcot: Children like some of the newer rides, but teenagers and adults tend to like Epcot more than kids. There are two little sections near the front of the park (one's based on the sea, one on land). The Sea section has a cool Nemo ride and a large aquarium (fish, dolphins, rays, sharks, etc). The Land section has a very cool ride called Soarin'. You sit in the chair and are lifted up in front of a huge screen (the ride is supposed to simulates hang gliding). There's also Test Track, a ride that simulates a car's test drive (you, the rider, are the "dummy"). There's also the whole section of "countries" strung together, each built to resemble a little foreign village. Each country also has a place to eat based on its country's cuisine, so Epcot has many, many dining choices. Epcot also has its own nighttime fireworks show.
Animal Kingdom: Like Hollywood Studios, it's also good for every age. It has Expedition Everest (an amazing roller coaster), Kilimanjaro Safaris (a tram ride on which you will see numerous live African animals that can get relatively close to the vehicle), and Festival of the Lion King (a sit-down, indoor show including dancing, singing, acrobatics, and more). Those are some attractions you should definitely not miss.
It depends on what you like. What they have done very carefully and smartly, though, is dispersed the best, most memorable attractions throughout each park (so that every park has at least one good thrill ride). If you're into movies themselves and how they're made, then you'd like Hollywood Studios. Epcot is good for the adventurous and curious-- you can learn a lot about the different countries while still having fun riding simulation rides. Animal Kingdom is good for those who enjoy animal encounters, as well as those who are looking for one good thrill-- you don't have to be an animal-lover at all to love Expedition Everest-- it puts you right in the middle of the Himalayas.
Now in regards to park-hopping, it can be worth it if you do not have small children with you. In your case, this is true. Teenagers and adults who want to see many things and do a lot in one day can definitely make the most of park-hopping because it's easier to get around quickly and purposefully. This is also a good option for thrill-seekers, who really want to ride all the big rides while they're there.
As for attire, definitely keep comfort in mind. You don't have to wear sneakers, but wear something that has a back. If you wear flip-flops or backless sandals, you'll be having to grip them with your toes all day, which will make your feet sore quickly. So yes, Sperry's should be fine. When it comes to clothes, make sure you look up the weather each day. Most days, shorts and a short-sleeved shirt will be fine. Remember to bring sunglasses, as well as sunscreen (especially for fair-skinned people).
