What is your opinion on using a sturdy twig to use as a curtain rod in my log home? Any other cabin/lodge decorating suggestions? Small budget not too crafty. Thank you!

Basically I trying to build a floating shelf to put my home theater receiver,dvd player,x-box and cable box. I already have a 42 plasma tv mounted on the wall and this is gonna be below it. An example of my vision is found in this pic http://tinyurl.com/dztlr
Here are the specs -
Total weight of all the equipments - 40lbs *but i would like it support double that amount because i would like place some decor on the shelf as well.
The height I am looking @ is 8 inches
Depth - 18 inches
Width/Length - is something I am still trying to decide but it might be 6 ft or maybe 5ft.
I was thinking of getting some wood and construct it myself. But now i need some advice on where to begin and how to make it strong enough to support my contents. I definitely am gonna mount it to the studs. I also need to know what tools I need and which type. For example I was trying figure, which was the most powerful type of screw, lag screws or deck screws or any other type? Then I thought of my kitchen cabinets, as they hold heavy ceramic plates/utensils/glassware and are mounted to the wall too. So i could use the same technique and mount my shelf. But i don’t know where to start or what to do. So whatever advice or tips you all can provide me will be very helpful. I am basically worried about its strength and reliability the most. [B]Thank you all![/B]

It will be outside in the evening the reception will be at night. I don’t really have a theme as of right now nor do I have any colors picked out. I want lots of lighting I want glittery, sparkly shiny decor. I was thinking either an evening garden them or a cool (as in temperature) theme with cool colors like ice blue, white, silver, etc.

Any ideas for decoration, colors, themes, flowers, etc. would be greatly appreciated!

30 year old asked:
My husband hates floral prints and any sort of floral decoration. I’m so sick of stripes, plaid and squares. Our house is a blank canvas other than the square themed area rugs (none of them match) and our stripe shower curtain. We have a black leather couch that we’re still paying for…so have to keep it. I want our home to feel inviting and put together…like a model home. But his taste is horrible. I make only $8/hour and he makes $30/hour. His attitude is that since he makes more…what he says…goes. ugh. Any ideas? And no, I’m not willing to pick a fight with him or tell him to shove it. I’m only looking for decor advice that will suite both of us.
