When Is It Time To Redecorate?

When do you know when it is time to redecorate? It might be when the layer of dust on your "fancier" couch becomes more like a piece of card stock or it might be when you are completing a homework assignment and realize that the style and furniture in your own house matches quite similarly to that of a historic housing room. You might be asking yourself at this point, how do you fix this old looking space into a new, modern, and contemporary style masterpiece? Despite the obvious thing, which would be to move into a perfectly furnished house that is already equipped with all the little nicknacks and quirks that you want, it isn't entirely possible to achieve that most of the time.

However, there are little and big things you can change to make your house, or just a singular room, way more trendy and up to date with all the new and latest fashion ideas.

One of the most simple things you can do that is sometimes very overlooked, is change the color of your walls. It might sound like an obvious idea, but by changing just the wall color, and keeping all of your furniture, you can brighten the room and make it have more of an open and inviting vibe. Another thing you can do is reface the cabinets. By doing this you change the whole color of the room. You can go from a really dark room to a light room or viceversa.

There are also alternatives if you don't want to have little minute changes as well. You can totally go for more a drastic look if thats what your envisioning. You can replace the cabinets, get new appliances, pick out a new floor, and even paint the walls a new color. All of these little things combined together makes for a drastic change in your own home. Some people aren't ready for such a big undertaking, which is totally understandable. But if you are, more power to you. Depending on how efficient your construction team is ad how much you are actually changing, this whole reconstruction can take from about 2 months to up to a year. So if you are willing to spend a lot of time and money on this extravagant project, you could make one amazing house!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
