In the closet, we all want to pare away unused items, but sometimes it seems like you wear clothes that you don’t. Turn all the clothes hangers the opposite way (facing out instead of in). When you use an item and it is returned to the closet, replace the hanger normally. In a few months, if an item has not been worn, it’ll be apparent. If it’s not likely to be worn, it should go.

• Spring is a wonderful time to clean the walls inside your house. It clears away hidden dust and really freshens a room. Clean painted walls by dusting them first with a dry mop, then washing with a rag dampened in water. If you need a little extra oomph — say, in the kitchen or bath — add a couple drops of mild dish soap.
• It is possible to save a bit of money on car maintenance if you can’t change your own oil. Learn common add-ons you will be offered at oil and lube places. Air filters are surprisingly easy to replace on your own, and so are windshield wipers. Very often, the staff of auto-supply chains will lend you tools or even assist you right in the parking lot.
• New drapes or even new pillow covers in a fabulous pattern can really jazz up a room. Consider switching smaller furniture accents between common rooms or a fresh furniture arrangement to change it up.

5 Easy Steps to Create Your Homebuying Budget
(StatePoint) One of the most important steps to take while house hunting is to create an intentional budget that accounts for both upfront costs and recurring expenses. Doing so will help you find a home that meets both your lifestyle needs and financial situation. Here’s how:
1. Assess What You Can Afford:
A common way to generally estimate the price range of a home you can afford is to multiply your annual gross income (what you earn before taxes) by three to five, according to Fidelity. Understand that mortgage rates will have a big impact too. Lower rates can substantially increase your purchasing power. Lenders set an interest rate for each person based on several factors, such as credit score. A higher credit score could mean a lower interest rate or better loan term.
2. Account for Upfront Costs: When budgeting, account for these one-time upfront costs you’ll pay after your offer is accepted:
The down payment: This is typically between 5% and 20% of the home’s purchase price. However, qualified borrowers can put down as little as 3% with options such as Freddie Mac’s Home Possible or HomeOne mortgages. Both require private mortgage insurance, which is an additional expense to consider.
Earnest money deposit:
Earnest money, also known as a good faith deposit, amounts to approximately 1%–2% of the
purchase price of the home and is a sum you submit with your offer to show the seller you’re serious. During closing, the amount you pay in earnest money can be applied toward your down payment or closing costs.
Home inspection: The home inspection, which will be your responsibility, typically costs between $300 and $450, according to recent estimates from Rocket Mortgage, and will tell you about the home and its potential issues. Your realtor should be able to recommend several well-qualified inspectors.
Closing costs: Closing costs are what you will pay to the people representing your purchase, such as your lender and real estate agent. Also known as settlement fees, closing costs typically amount to 2% to 5% of
the purchase price, and you may be able to roll them into your loan. Work with your lender to find the approach that best fits your financial situation.
Moving expenses: Whether you hire professional movers or DIY your move, online resources such as Realtor.com’s moving cost calculator can help you estimate potential costs. When hiring movers, get quotes to ensure you are getting a fair price and to avoid moving fraud.
3. Plan for Ongoing Expenses: Once you’re in the home, you’ll be responsible for making monthly payments. These may include your mortgage principal, interest, property taxes, homeowners insurance, private mortgage insurance, escrow payments and homeowners association
fees. Most lenders agree that you should spend no more than 30% of your gross monthly income on these expenses, though this number will depend on your financial situation. You’ll also need to save for regular maintenance expenses, such as appliance upkeep.
4. Leave Room for Flexibility: Be sure to factor in savings for repairs or replacements of bigticket items, such as your roof or HVAC system. Such flexibility in your budget can also help you weather financial emergencies, such as job loss, illness and other unexpected circumstances.
5. Use Tools to Guide Your Decision: To help you answer the critical question of how much home you can afford, use Freddie Mac’s home affordability calculator found at myhome.freddiemac. com. This free online resource also offers a wealth of essential information to guide you at every stage of your home journey.
As you hunt for the home of your dreams, stay prepared and informed. One essential aspect of doing so is to set a realistic budget that accounts for the true costs of homeownership.
Home Improvement
Outdoor living spaces have become sought-after commodities among homeowners. A 2022 survey of homeowners conducted by the New Home Trends Institute found that open yards are less appealing to home buyers than they once were. The survey noted that just 28 percent of respondents chose open yards, while 65 percent preferred patios and 55 percent chose decks. Green spaces remain popular, but the survey indicates that many would-be home buyers also want an outdoor living area to make the most of their home exteriors.
space. Of course, decks can be as big as homeowners choose, which can make the spaces more multi-functional.
• Recognize both may be in your best interest. Homeowners also should know that many outdoor living spaces feature both a deck and a paver patio. Homeowners may like an elevated deck that steps down to a patio, which can easily distinguish between the spaces and establish the area as a multifunctional space.
Homeowners aspiring to transform their home exterior spaces typically must decide between a deck or pavers when the time comes to plan such areas. That’s a personal choice homeowners must make, but those without strong feelings on either option can consider these tips as they try to decide if a deck or pavers are for them.
• Determine your budget. Budget is a notable variable with any home renovation project, and the addition of an outdoor living space is no exception. The materials homeowners choose will ultimately determine the cost
of each project. For example, composite decking materials tend to cost significantly more than wood decks, but that higher price tag also comes with less maintenance and typically a longer life span. Pavers may prove less expensive than composite decking, but those cost savings may be negligible if a yard requires extensive excavation to prepare an area for a new patio. It requires patience, but gathering estimates of the various materials can serve as a good starting point when planning an outdoor living space. In addition, homeowners must recognize that material costs can fluctuate considerably over time, as such prices are often contingent on a range of variables, including supply chain issues. So it’s best to gather estimates in a short period of time to make the most accurate price comparisons.
• Identify your vision for the space. Homeowners who have a vision for their outdoor living space, even if they are not sure about which material they prefer, may find the process goes more quickly and even more smoothly than those who are unsure about what they want. Those who prefer a flexible multi-use space may be best going with pavers, as the spaces can be easily converted and areas simply designated as one might differentiate between rooms inside the home. For example, an outdoor living room can be separated with the installation of a pavillion and fireplace, while kitchen and dining areas can be separate spaces on the same patio. Decks tend to be less flexible, which might make them ideal for homeowners who prefer an outdoor dining area but don’t need a more expansive entertaining
Homeowners planning outdoor living space projects may find themselves choosing between a deck and pavers. Each option can work, and homeowners may even want to combine the two.
Home Improvement
Homeowners make many notable decisions when designing their home interiors, with some choices proving more bold than others. The decision to decorate with neutral colors might not be the boldest move homeowners can make, but there are numerous reasons to stay neutral with a color scheme.
• Versatility: Neutral colors afford homeowners endless opportunities to play around with textures, patterns, furnishings, and more. For example, a neutral color on a living room wall can ensure a boldly colored couch or chair won’t contrast with its surroundings. In fact, there’s no end to the options homeowners have to customize the look of a room with bold features or furnishings when neutral colors featurely prominently in the space.
• Flexibility: Neutral colors are more flexible than bolder alternatives because they likely won’t require a complete overhaul of a room when homeowners want to spice things up with new features and furnishings. That flexibility will be appreciated
by homeowners who every so often like to experiment with a new vibe or look in their homes.
• Trendy: Neutral colors are not as vulnerable to trends as other design choices. In fact, neutral colors are effectively their own trend and won’t get in the way of homeowners who want to change things up. But unlike other trends that must be replaced when homeowners grow tired of them, neutral colors can
remain thanks to their compatability with so many styles.
• Tranquility: Homes are often characterized as their owners’ private sanctuaries from the hustle and bustle that goes on outside those walls, and neutral colors are often lauded for the tranquil vibe they help to create in a space. Neutral colors are soft, and that can lend a serene and calming atmosphere to the interior spaces of a home.
• Brightness: Neutral colors are lighter in tone and thus pair well with natural light. That mixture can amplify brightness within a home and give it an uplifting vibe that residents and guests alike will appreciate.
Neutral colors are not bold, but the benefits they provide open doors to an array of design styles and decor choices that enable homeowners to go in various directions with the interior spaces in their homes.

* * * Quote of the Day: “My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.”
There is just something so nostalgic and familiar about good old-fashioned diner food, and for hungry diners from all ends of the state (and even across the border!), this is exactly what they will find at The Original Gentleman Farmer Diner in Coventry. Good, old-fashioned, classic American cuisine. It truly doesn’t get any better than this.
Served up every day at this “time-capsule” diner are all those classic dishes that you love — from your favorite breakfast menu items of Eggs Benedict and home fries to French Toast, waffles, pancakes, bacon, sausage, corned beef hash, biscuits & gravy, and omelets of every kind! And this is just to start your day!
For lunch, there are all the traditional hot and cold sand-
wiches (can you say BLTs, turkey clubs, grilled cheese, meatball parm, and so much more) as well as homemade soups, burgers, salads, and even Fish & Chips! There are also popular entrees such as baked scrod, pasta & meatballs, chicken dinners, and an ever-changing list of mouthwatering Daily Specials. Be sure to check out the fabulous St. Patrick’s Day menu (and extended hours) on the 17th including the best Corned Beef and Cabbage in town. What makes this cozy diner extra special is its new owner and chef, George Trikoulis. When the diner’s longtime owner of 36 years, Tasia Zarokostas, officially turned it over to George, she knew that it would be in good hands. They share a bond which transcends their love of
food to their common Greek heritage. If you are lucky, you may even find Tasia here serving her former and still-loyal customers!
Trikoulis has had a passion for cooking for his entire life. He comes from a long line of cooks, having been taught and worked alongside his restaurant-owning parents from the time of his youth. Cooking is just a part of his
DNA. He knows that his food has to be both delicious and memorable, but also fresh, comforting, consistent — and affordable. Every customer matters to him, and to his entire staff and most importantly, to his family. George and his wife Julie have three girls, ages 13 to 9, and a son, age 5. The Original Gentleman Farmer Diner is truly a “family affair”.
If you ask George what he likes best, he will tell you that he is a self-proclaimed “meat man”, so you can be sure he is going to deliver on anything on the menu that involves meat (including his personal favorite, the Steak and Eggs, all day long!) His signature dishes are made-from-scratch daily with the highest quality and freshest of ingredients.
