Update your house!

Why? Okay, if the roof leaks, that’s called fixing, not updating. If you need a new furnace you need a new furnace. But, decor? Why? Are people so stressed for things to worry about that it is important they keep their fingers on the pulse of lighting fixtures, wallpaper and garden gnomes. Yes, I added garden gnomes to be sarcastic; did I succeed?

I drive past a lot on which people are building a House for Humanity; good thing they didn’t model it after a 50’s ranch. Someone would have to buy it and flip it.

Of course, it’s one of those arbitrary “status” things. I do not have wallpaper that was all the rage 20* years ago; but if I did, I think I’d still be able to be comfortable in the room – doing the things I have to do and the things I enjoy. Actually, in some houses that are always being “updated”, I go in and don’t think about living; existing without marring or outright breaking something is on my mind.

*A couple of my rooms have wallpaper way older than 20 years.
