We're moving soon! Yay! Our new house has a difficult room, though: a long, narrow sunken living room that is making it difficult to plan. How can we best make use of the space?

Yoga and therapy combined with the mindfulness meditation my therapist has been teaching me are already doing wonders for
my mental health. Now I'd like to create a neat little space in my home that's dedicated to daily meditation. Do you have a space like this? What works for you? I'm seeking ideas.

Thirty years ago, upon receiving the joyous news of my birth, my grandparents broke out the champagne. They kept the bottle as a memento of that day and recently gave it to me. I'd like to turn it into something both useful and beautiful. But what?

I need inspiration for an impending South Florida master bathroom remodel. I like a shabby chic style, and I understand the principles, but desperately need specific images for a bathroom that totals 45 sq feet outside of the shower stall, and probably more like 30-35 sq feet once you subtract the water closet.

I want to hang this picture on the wall, but in a way that makes it look like it's an inch away from the wall. I know how to make that happen with a piece of wood wood and a sawtooth hanger, but are there any ready-made hardware or system that will achieve that?

I'm having a hard time picking a rug that looks good in my dining room. Having already returned one, I no longer trust my own judgment. Please get me out of my design rut...suggest a rug in the $600 range (8x12) that would look good!
Pics are here. The style of the house is modern/Japanese. There will be some modern art on the walls (which has neutral tones), which is not pictured.

I'm working on redecorating my apartment. Now, I'm a sucker for Bombay Company/Pier 1/World Market goods, but I'm saving my pennies for more important things. What are some inexpensive, do-it-yourself ways to give my apartment that "worldly," tastefully-exotic look?

Frame-wise (or not) what's the best way to display posters like
these (sized 12 x 18)?
I just bought three of them and it feels wrong just to put push pins through them.
