You have to do a project and you are looking for flooring 4 a basement what should you consider?

I would recommend commercial grade vinyl such as Amtico. It is nothing like the vinyl from a roll so give it a chance be before crossing it off the list. It is very easy to clean. extremely durable and will survive a flood. It is laid in pieces (either planks or tile depending which design you choose) and glued down.

Other choices that come into play if you are not concerned about flooding are: engineered flooring, carpet, porcelain tile and cork. I would stay away from the cork if you have young children.

Good ideas for decorating a beach theme room especially a desk?

Start with a soft colour scheme, pale, wind and sun bleached colours are best, blues, tans, and aquas work well.

Add light fabric, "faded" gingham or cottons on windows etc.

Framed pieces, either photos, prints, paintings or shadow boxes with with sea shells, driftwood or shorelines on the wall will enhance the look.

he furnishings will do well with a distressed paint finish (beach houses and cottages usually have old well used furnishings).

As for the desk, pick an old wooden desk, or even an old wooden kitchen table (in this case you may need to adjust the table height), give it a distressed white-washed finish. Add your personal needs (computer, phone etc).

For light I would suggest one of those clear glass based lamps that you can add things into. In this case white sand, a few beach rocks/glass, some sea shells and maybe a bit of driftwood (depending on the size of the base) will add to "the look".

Don't neglect your floors, cotton rag rugs or small area rugs will continue the beach house look and give your toes something to rest on as well as help to define the separate spaces in the room.

Think of your favourite cottage or beach getaway and draw from that.

How do you decorate your room?

Start by taking a very good look at the room as it is now. Measure it, and draw a floor plan to scale. Mark in all of the doors, (closets too) windows, electrical outlets and switches as well as your TV and phone jacks are. Note the current colours, including the floor coverings. Next make an inventory of the furniture you now have. Okay, now determine what you need in your room, is your bed big enough, do you have a good work area, have you outgrown the toy-box (can it be used for something else). Next you need to know your budget.
Now you need inspiration. This can come from very nearly anywhere. Your wardrobe might be a good place to start for your colour scheme. Magazines will give you ideas of styles and trends. You will give yourself the best ideas (if you are willing to trust your instincts)
Start with what you have to keep, flooring, furniture etc are big ticket items and should only be replaced if absolutely necessary. Check out the local Bed & Bath places, or the Home wears section of a department store and look for something you really love. I recommend comforters that are revisable, (a pattern on one side and a solid colour on the other, works well for versatility. Work from the most restricted colours to the least. Floor coverings have few colour choices; linens, comforters & drapes have a limited number of styles and colours; wallpaper offer a slightly wider selection and finally paint can be mixed to match very nearly everything. Spend your budget wisely, buy good
quality things in styles that are considered "classics" that will last a long time and not go out of style in a couple of years. If you work around this sort of thing you can change the lesser expensive things (like linens and paint) whenever you get tired of them and get a fresh look without breaking the bank. Be cautious of fads, high school musical themed bedrooms won't last forever, they may not last for two years and not everyone wants or can afford to change it all that often. If you are "over the moon" about a fad, buy accessories from it and layer them liberally on your classic room.

How many people can sit at a 108 inch table?

IF YOUR TABLE IS 108" LONG " TOTAL LENGHT THEN I WOULD SAY 4 THAT GIVES 24" PER PERSON, BUT IF THATS JUST ONE SIDE THEN YOU CAN SIT 10. i SAY TEN BECAUSE THE TABLE MAY BE 108" LONG BUT IT HAS TO HAVE 2 ENDS WHICH WOULD SEAT ONE AT EACH END FOR A TOTAL OF 10.

How do you install a heat register in a drop down ceiling?

If I am correctly understanding the question. You have a suspended ceiling and wish to add a register. Ok, two ways, the first is easiest. Get a 2`x 2` register and lay it in the grid in the place of a tile. Second, once you have selected the ceiling location for the register, lay the register in the center of the tile where it is going and trace out & cut the hole in the tile to accept the register and reinstall the tile into the ceiling grid and connect the duct. Make sure everything is properly supported and there is no stress on the tile.
