I NEED YOUR HELP!!!

I am dying in my disorganized, cluttered, neutral apartment. The furniture placement is wrong, the colors are wrong, everything is wrong. It's like someone took it and shook it like a snowglobe. The silver is mixed with the gold.

I'm willing to do all the dirty work. But I need your advice! Please tell me your favorites, or examples of creative ways you've decorated your house that you are really proud of and love showing off.

1. bedroom colors?
2. kitchen colors?
3. living room colors?
4. the best place to buy fabric for curtains/futon covers/pillows?
5. the best place to buy good-quality paint and supplies?
6. the best place to buy fun decor and unique items for display?
7. the best place to buy candles in bulk?
8. The best place to buy plastic bins for organizing/storage?

I live in Rhode Island, USA - so most national American chain stores should work.

Thanks for all your ideas!!! :)
