11. On your bathroom counter

As a decorator, I have gone into many different homes and met homeowners with questionable taste. One thing I am shocked about is people living in a time warp. I recently had a client who hired me because they had an "ah- ha moment" seeing their living room style on a circa 1980's sit-com rerun. Yes, their living room had not been restyled in 25 years. Sometimes people just decorate like their mother did because that is all they have ever known. Let's not be frumpy and stale.
So how can you tell if you are living in a time warp and need to freshen up your home's look? Here are just a few of the telltale signs: Look up. What do you see? If you see a popcorn ceiling or glitter mixed with ceiling paint,moncler pas cher, you have an outdated look. Now, look down. Do you see dark carpeting? over 10 years old? Do you see wall to wall plush carpeting? The trend is most definitely hardwood floors with gorgeous area rugs Look to the side. Do you see any ######## wood paneling whatsoever? The darker and shinier it is, the worse it is. No paneling,air jordan! What do you see on the wall? Please don't tell me that you see white paint. The trend is color,nike air jordan, color, and color. Don't be bland! A rich complex color can bring your room up to the new If you removed a picture from the wall, will there be a telltale sign that it hung in that exact spot too long? Paint fades over the years, ya know. Be sure to change the accessories around every few years. I bet that picture is hung way too high also. Is it hung more than 6 inches from the top of the sofa? See told ya. Do you have over 5 photographs of children who are now grown? Subtract points if the frames are all different types and sizes. How about the furniture? Is it lumpy and bumpy (formally known as cascade back style)? It reminds me of rolls of fat. Yuck! The updated look it smooth sleek lines with classic styling. Toss it to the curb with its buddy, the extra large lazy-people recliner. Speaking of the couch, please don't let me see a knitted afghan folded over the back of the sofa. I love things made by Grandma too but it doesn't need to be the focal point. It is no longer fashionable to place a folded blanket of any kind over the back of the couch. How about the accent pillows? The old style of placing matching pillows at each end of the couch is dated too - just because they came with the couch doesn't mean you have to use them. Spice it up with pillows of contrasting colors, unique motifs,abercrombie and fitch, and hip textures. Let's check out the kitchen. This is an easy room to tell if is out of date. On the floor, do you have bold geometric vinyl? Are your appliances harvest gold or avocado? Do your cupboards lack character? Do they have their original knobs and pulls? Are the counters a color like 70's Brady Bunch orange or even 80's country blue? It really pays to redo a kitchen but if you can't right now, update the knobs,ralph lauren pas cher, get a rug,doudoune moncler, and gallons of paint. And the bonus question:
11. On your bathroom counter, is there a grouping of lotions and potions? The big pump bottle of everyday moisturizer? On your bedroom dresser, you don't have your collection of perfume bottles of scents you haven't worn in several years, do you? Don't you remember your mother doing this? Let's not decorate how mom did.
Now you know if your dcor is frumpy and stale. You also know a few ways to make it fresh. Next, how about those pleated slacks?

If you think you are a Jiangxi, then please read this post carefully,Nike air max shoes, as you do not look Jiangxi will regret it!

stars love home if you have heart, please reprint this log! Jiangxi online too quiet, so it got to this place Jiangxi

step. Jiangxi really hurt!

now see a message:
2009-12-4 network of CCTV news reports of a major investment yang Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and Tan pointed out that the country now

key investment in the construction of one trillion Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River, Changsha, Zhuzhou and other places! Set the tone: Tan central part of the core of an extremely long

(sand) strains (Island) (Gordon) Lake

China, Beijing-Guangzhou railway to bypass the busiest Jiangxi,

the busiest in China around the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway in Jiangxi,air max shoes on sale,

the fastest high-speed railway in China around the Jiangxi.

we Jiangxi how it?

Jiangxi is a good place, through many cities, which was a heartfelt words.

honest Shandong, Jiangxi, is also very honest. Is the home of Confucius and Mencius, Shandong, Jiangxi has a Zhu, Jiuyuan that Daru.

once in east China, central China once was. Whether filling Huguang Jiangxi, Hubei and Hunan to Sichuan, or Beijing-Guangzhou and Jiangxi rubbing shoulders

and around Hunan, Jiangxi, or three years of natural disasters, abandon themselves to the courage of food to donate.

in this land as a young queen who is not. I would like to say, was injured in Jiangxi, Jiangxi people are injured. Liu


people across the country and in the flicker, and now the people in the flicker of Jiangxi.

overwhelmed as the Eagle Building lines that do not see, but Xiuwu Guangzhou passenger line. How can the people of the Minister of Railways, your intention

that? Just because you are Hubei, the Ministry of Railways will be able to move your home.

Gan Shao placed a great line you do not repair. Took the blood and sweat of hundreds of billions of people to meet your desires. You let down

4 million people in China with Jiangxi compatriots?

first T, then is the Z, are you a little ticket to the whole to the whole, blood and sweat of many workers to the deprivation of such a ruthless, if say,cheap air max shoes, robbery is a crime, it also appear the real knife. But you come to plunder the public the name of speed of the flesh and blood. What is the purpose?


back to Jiangxi Province for a long time, long wanted to write something, and just has not been any mood.

see today the construction of Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger information, was very angry. This project would have no railway, but now in a big kind of start up. If, said the new train station built in Guangzhou, if necessary, and no one to blame.

Is it really such a busy Beijing-Guangzhou line? Is there more than the construction of the railway along the coast is also a pressing need for it? If you also Jiangxi people in mind, not that again and again this injury have been very obedient Jiangxi Province where the Beijing-Kowloon dragged on for 40 years to build. Line Jiangxi heart, this artery to keep the hope of the people in Jiangxi transport out of the delivery of wealth continue to come.

Nanchang, Ganzhou is earth-shaking changes have taken place. May be just 10 years after the day of Wuhan-Guangzhou passenger line to complete ruin of Jiangxi's economic lifeline,
ask, Who is willing to take the speed of the next District 140KM / H of the Beijing-Kowloon line, six cities along the Beijing-Guangzhou Moreover, a words arranged.

Nanchang and so many people how to fight? Nanchang, Wuhan, for a natural geographical advantage, west Hunan, Chongqing, East can not even Nanjing, Shanghai, south to Guangzhou, Shenzhen.

However, the opening of Wuhan-Guangzhou railway line, will sideline Nanchang, Changsha, Guangzhou, two hours to become Chong Fei, after the Hunan Jiangxi powerful than the more absolute is inevitable, from the geometric figures significantly in the future widen!

Now we do not lag behind Hunan, Jiangxi, is almost the same concept, the purpose of Wuhan-Guangzhou line is to create prosperity and circle the city of Changsha, Wuhan has become the number one prosperous center of the middle!

to bring the whole economy of the great development of Hubei, Hunan! ! ! This is called the rise of the middle! ! ! This is absolutely no central China's Jiangxi Province were, on the contrary is a huge sacrifice in Jiangxi, Wuhan, Changsha based on the prosperity created by! ! !

Nanchang, Jiangxi government efforts to create the investment environment will be shelved in the display, the Pearl River Delta customers investors - many businessmen, tourists, etc. along the Wuhan-Guangzhou line will only be stationed in Wuhan, Changsha, because as long as three hours ,air max 2011! ! !

the opening of the Wuhan-Guangzhou line, Changsha - Zhuzhou - Yueyang - large metropolitan city of Xiangtan group will be greatly to the prosperity of the whole will be greatly Hunan peak of prosperity! ! !

is to show recovery in Wuhan, Central China city of the drones will rise again! ! ! Changsha, Wuhan, will become another Shanghai and Nanjing! ! !

Wuhan-Guangzhou line of the opening of the new railway station was opened in Changsha, Changsha, which has three railway stations, large urban pattern has been formed bud, Guangzhou, Wuhan-Guangzhou line is also due to the opening, as they built a East Station as big station, called the Great Western Railway Station in Guangzhou! ! ! Big Wuhan, a large Guangzhou, Changsha ride big mountains in central and corner beads! ! ! ! The opening of Wuhan-Guangzhou line, Nanchang determination will be bigger and stronger reality Chong defeated, survive find any cracks,

the Jiangxi behind will only continue to widen, but not stand behind the foundation of forever Ever the pattern! ! ! Nanchang, Wuhan-Guangzhou line is a shame, is a major disaster in Jiangxi.

I am not a local conservationist. I would like to see any place in the country rich, but to turn over, Jiangxi and Anhui is the unequal treatment suffered too much.

Jiangxi Province, the country contributed a number of scholars, the Chinese contribution to social science have even the retreat of Shandong, no Jiangxi no classical literature, philosophy,air max 2010, highly prosperous, three dead in the Long March there is a rejuvenating, while rejuvenating the country is a county in Jiangxi.

a Beijing-Guangzhou line options let Hunan and Hubei and prosperity a century, until the last decade, Nanchang prosperity of the South was back to the flashy dream. This is not just a bearing, but also a tolerance. Jiangxi is not wrong, but the Jiangxi raise a child but as a stepmother for almost 50 years. Turn over, Ming and Qing dynasties ago, Jiangxi has always been the country's most prosperous areas, that is not the lack of Jiangxi Province and the people, but an environment.

surrounding provinces and cities under the central number of benefits, not spent said. They can be much better than in Jiangxi?

ancient times, Jiangxi is an important strategic terrain! In previous wars, the number of children in Jiangxi gave their precious lives today, however, poverty is still the people of Jiangxi, the country's policies but did not take care of old revolutionary base areas, there had been no fighting the people of old revolutionary base areas, to have the State Today's prosperous?

Jiangxi people, we must unite and build our home,air max 90 sale! Jiangxi officials hope can have more folks to consider the issue of Jiangxi

hey, I do not know what to say. Look at the history it.

can only say that I am very hurt Jiangxi
