Open Question: How much would it cost to?

I am a SAHM. I'm going to be watching three 2 year old boys with my 2 children next year (5 children 4 and under which is very legal in my state without a daycare license). I'm renting in a house that is a little less than 1,000 square feet...no basement. I would like to put some sort of outbuilding on the property (I have permission). Something that's no bigger than a smaller sized bedroom, just so that the kids have an area to play, paint the walls, eat lunch, basically destroy the inside without compromising the inside of my not owned by me home. How much would something like this cost????

Open Question: Modern lamps made in China?

My husband and I are decorating our apartment, our furniture is quite modern and we live in Egypt. We're looking for modern lamps that can suit our style and EVERYTHING we find is made in China! They're not expensive at all and I'm concerned about the quality and durability.. Any advice?

Open Question: I try to live a self sustaining life. What are some things you do at home to create, decorate, grow etc. . .?

I make what I can (i.e. curtains, aprons, some clothes), grow what I can (garden, fruit trees, fruit bushes and grape vines) and can or freeze what I grow. I raise hens for eggs and bees for honey. My goal is to use my little one acre piece of land to provide all I need for my family. But not just outdoors, inside as well. I'm currently making vanilla and almond extract. Can you give me more ideas? What are some interesting and creative things you've done from recycling to restoring or anything to decrease your carbon footprint.

Open Question: Removing colour from sofa covers - with bleach?

I have these horrid terracotta coloured sofa covers. They are horrid because our carpet is wine red - so they don't go! They are unused - so are the 'spare' set...but our current set has seen the last of its days. I am hoping to save money and not have to buy a new sofa - but just make sure that these sofa covers are a better colour than they currently are! Dylon pre-dye - which is for removing colour seems to work okay. But it hasn't removed enough for me to feel that it is okay to then dye them - I am going for beige. As the carpet is already dark, I do not feel that dark sofa covers will work. So - I was wondering if I could further use bleach for these covers (they are cotton) and how much I would need to use in the washing machine for them to do the job. They don't need to be white - just a bit lighter than they are! They are sorta a darker buttercream once the pre-dye has been used. Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated! - TIA
