The color of your walls will have a big impact on the mood of the room. Using dark colors on the wall can make the room appear more formal while lighter tones can make a small space look larger. If you can't choose just one color, you can paint the walls different colors. For example, paint an earthy brown on one wall and a warm green for a rustic themed dining room. Two colors are great for walls that have panels or molding because the walls are already divided. You can easily transform the space with paint, so don't be afraid to choose a bold color. . Decide if you want to paint the walls solid colors or if you'd like to paint designs. For example, you could paint paint horizontal stripes across the room. Use two bold colors that contrast if you want the walls to have a modern or contemporary look. For example, paint the lower half of the wall in a crisp white and paint the upper half in a rich navy blue. Or use two pale, neutral colors such as cream and pale pink for a soft and casual look. You can put up wallpaper as an accent or to cover the walls, but it's usually more expensive than paint. As an alternative, use paneling, such as shiplap or fabric wallpaper. These are fun, durable options for a dining room. If you'd like to put an inspirational quote, silhouette, or fun design on one of the walls, buy a decal. Peel the back off of the decal and spread it on the wall where you want the image or quote. Use a bench scraper or credit card to rub any air bubbles out of the decal and secure it to the wall. For a glamorous option, use metallic stripes or polka dot decals. Read the manufacturer's instructions to determine if the decals are permanent or removable. Many dining rooms have a central light fixture such as a chandelier or pendant light. If the walls seem dark or you'd just like more light, arrange lamps in the corners of the room. For casual, cozy dining rooms, look for floor or club lamps. To cast light up onto the walls, use torchieres. If you have a sideboard or buffet table, you can set small lamps on them. You can also install recessed lighting if you have a recessed space on a wall. This can create ambient lighting for the rest of the room. For a luxurious feel, install wall sconces or hanging pendants on either side of a china cabinet. If you'd like warm light along the walls instead of a bright overhead light in the dining room, install several sconces on each wall. Use sconces with clear glass if you want clear, brilliant light. Use sconces with frosted glass or shades if you'd like soft, diffused light. If you hang artwork and would like a formal look, install spot lighting to shine on the piece. Some sconces can be plugged in rather than wired into the wall, making this an inexpensive, easy option.

Summary: Select colors for the room. Paint the walls Apply decals. Set up lamps. Hang wall sconces for soft lighting.

This method works exactly like the one above, except the screenshot does not immediately create a file. Instead, the image is saved to the clipboard, the same temporary storage area where your computer remembers the text that you have copied. You can also take a portion screenshot with this method using Command + Control + Shift + 4 and dragging your reticle over the appropriate part of your screen, exactly as the portion screenshot method. Your screenshot image can be pasted straight into any compatible application, such as a Word document, an image editing program, and many email services.

Summary: Press Command + Control + Shift + 3. Use Command + V or Edit > Paste to paste your image.

It will stay in this position until noted otherwise. The goal of this section is to put the white edge pieces around the white center, so it forms a '+ sign' or cross on the white face. These instructions assume you have a standard Rubik's cube, with the white face opposite the yellow face. If you have an older Rubik's cube, these instructions will be difficult to follow. Do not move the white center off of the Upper face. This is the most common mistake in this section. Use the same process to bring the three other white corners to the white face. At the end of this step, you should have a completely white Upper face. The F, R, B, and L faces should all have an upper row of three squares that match the center color. Sometimes, a white corner happens to already be in the U (white) face, but in the wrong position, so the other two squares do not match the center on the same face. If this happens, turn the cube so that corner is in the UFR position, then apply F D F'. Now the white square is in the D face, and you can move it to the right position as described above.

Summary: Turn the cube so the white center is on the U face. Repeat with the remaining corners.

Populate your tree with all of the current information you have compiled. As you fill out and populate your family tree make note of what resources you are using. When you have populated your tree, go over all your resources and see if you missed something. Then, you may want to locate all the information, pictures, files, etc. you didn't use. Separate the unnecessary information from the necessary information. You can do this in a chart you've already created or make a new one if it's easier. But you should now make note of what information you are still missing. Check to see if you have all the information you want for each family member. Are you missing birthdates, marriages, or any other relevant information? Make detailed notes of what you still need. Perhaps you couldn't find any information on who your great-grandmother married. Or, you still don't know when your grandfather came to your country. Start searching again, this time being more specific as you know what information you need. Try searching through records using different names or dates. Depending on when a certain family member moved to a new country, these members may have had a different name. Alternatively, you may eventually discover that the dates you thought were correct were actually wrong. Ask your family if anyone had a different name or a variation of a name. Search Google and other records with different parameters. You can set date ranges when searching on Google to filter out any dates you don't want results from. Now that you've started your family tree you can continue to expand it and fill in all the blanks as you discover more. When you find new information, add it to your tree and notate where you found the information. You can continue building out a record of your genealogy going as far back as you wish.
Summary: Continue to fill out your tree. Create a chart for the gaps in your tree. Search for different variations of surnames. Continue adding information as you find it.
