Article by JENNIFER KING jennifer.king@albanyherald.com ahead. Hardwoods are located in the dining room and home office. Within the living room there is a cozy brick fireplace flanked by two windows. Crown molding and baseboard frame the walls in this space and in the formal dining room. An exterior door at the rear of the room leads out to the home’s rear patio. Lovely landscaping surrounds the patio and provides a bit of privacy. Through a set of French doors just off the living room, you will find the formal dining room. Gleaming
hardwoods give the space a warm feel. Two sunny windows provide natural light, and a centered chandelier adds a nice glow. Next, the tiled kitchen has creamcolored cabinets and stainless steel appliances. This eat-in kitchen has a casual dining space, and additional room if you would like to insert a center island. The kitchen sink is situated under a window that overlooks the backyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is a home office with hardwood floors and judges panels. The master features a private
bathroom and ample closet storage. Both of the guest bedrooms are good-sized and share hallway access to the guest bathroom. Outdoors an out building provides storage for lawn tools. The backyard is fenced and heavily landscaped for enjoyable views. If you would like more information about this home or would like to schedule a private tour, please contact Allan Willcox of Willcox Realty Company at his office (229) 435-1717 or on cell (229) 886-2828.

4 simple, smart furniture arrangement tips for decorating your first home (BPT) - Buying your first home? Congratulations! Now you get the pleasure of decorating and deciding where everything should go in your new residence. But arranging furniture to optimize room layout in a home can be very different from placing furniture in an apartment. You have a lot more to consider than just deciding where to put your sofa or which wall to nestle your bed against. "Smart furniture placement can make a well-laid-out room even more appealing and functional," says Susan Yoder, a designer for manufactured home builder Clayton Homes. "Having so much space to work with can be intimidating, so it's important to put some thought into how you'll arrange things ahead of time." Yoder offers a video and tips for optimizing room layout: Plan the purpose of your room The design features of your room will heavily influence the arrangement of furnishings and artwork, but you also need to consider how you'll be using the room. Will your living room be where the family gathers to watch TV and movies? A spot for family meetings and conversations with guests? Somewhere you'll go to relax quietly with a good book? All those things or none of them? Plan your room layout to accommodate the different uses to which you'll put the room. One way to do this is to create zones for different purposes. For example, a sofa and some chairs might face the TV while a small table and wing chair in a corner could be perfect for quiet reading.
Find your focal point Every room should have a focal point, that spot that automatically draws the eye as soon as you walk into the room. In a living room, this may be a fireplace, picture window or a great view of the interior. The layout of furnishings in the room should flow toward the focal point without blocking it from your view when you enter the room. If your room doesn't have a focal point incorporated into the design, you can create one in a number of ways. Many people use a large TV as a focal point in living rooms (and that's fine), but you could also paint one wall in an accent color, hang a large eye-catching piece of artwork or use a striking piece of furniture.
door, or the space between areas like kitchens and breakfast nooks. Never obstruct a door or window by placing a piece of furniture in front of it - unless the piece is short enough that it doesn't block the full window. Generally, straight lines facilitate movement, so imagine straight paths throughout your rooms and place furniture accordingly.
Tailor for traffic flow Modern floor plans tend to be very open in the current market. Even in older homes, where rooms may be more separated from each other, living areas will typically have more than one doorway. It's important to keep ease of movement in mind when you're arranging your furniture. Avoid blocking natural traffic patterns, such as the line from door to
poster bed will overpower a small room and leave you little space to move around in. Likewise, too many pieces in a snug space will make the room feel even smaller and cluttered. Conversely, a large, open room can withstand the presence of some larger furnishings, whereas very small pieces will look lost in a big space. "Decorating your new home is one of the great joys of home ownership," Yoder says. "With a little thought and planning it's possible to create a room layout that really works for your lifestyle and the room's design." Sponsored Ad Content by Clayton Homes
Keep scale in mind Finally, a word about scale - ensure the size of your furnishings matches the size of your room. A large sectional sofa or king-sized four-

Save money and stay cool as temperatures rise (MS) - Excessive energy bills can be a concern in spring and summer, just as much as they are in the winter. So how can you save money while keeping your home cool? The solution is simple: Top up your attic insulation. A poorly insulated attic is a primary source of energy loss, forcing your AC unit to work harder than necessary over the warmer months. Most attics are insulated, but oftentimes the amount of insulation present is inadequate - especially in older homes. Over time, insulation can settle and compact, allowing heat to escape through gaps. Topping it up is easy. Ideally, you want to aim for a depth of 16 inches of insulation for an overall R-value of 50. When existing insulation is present, simply level existing insulation to the top of the joist. Lay a fire- and moisture-resistant batt insulation, like Roxul Comfortbatt, on top of joists, running perpendicular to the first layer. Ensure batts are butted against each other tightly. Fit batts closely to cross joists; cut batt if necessary (this can be done easily with a serrated blade or bread knife) and leave no space between layers. Don't forget to insulate the attic hatch to the same level as the rest of the attic. Apply weather-stripping to the edge of the hatch to reduce air leakage. Keep in mind that only IC-rated electrical fixtures can have insulation placed with zero clearance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and local building code to insulate around the chimney. When a house is insulated properly, energy savings can add up over time. Remember, insulation starts working the moment it is installed and can last for the life of the building. Tips on this easy, low-cost DIY project that will reduce your home's energy loss and save you money are available at www.diywithroxul.com.

5 things to discuss with your significant other before purchasing a home (BPT) - In a relationship, you count on your significant other to be there with you through the good and the bad. They are your best friend, your confident and your closest ally. And you count on being able to have important conversations with them as well. One of those important conversations every couple should have focuses on money and each person's respective financial goals, especially if you are planning to purchase a home. However, 33 percent of married or partnered adults have difficulty discussing money with their significant other, according to a Wells Fargo survey. "I think money is one of those topics most couples put off discussing because it can be sensitive," says Arlene Maloney, senior vice president, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. "However, if you don't discuss money before entering into a major credit purchase, like homeownership, you open yourself up for potential problems down the road." Purchasing a home is one of the largest investments most people make in their lifetime. When two people decide to achieve the goal of homeownership together, it's important to understand not only your own finances and credit profile but your partner's finances and goals as well. To help you broach this conversation with your partner, here are some things you should discuss before you move forward: Where you will live and what you want to purchase. Do you want to live in the city or the suburbs? Are you set on a single-family home or a condo? Do you want to build your home or purchase an established property? Having answers to these questions will help you speak to a lender and learn more about how the type of home you choose may affect loan approval
requirements or what options exist if you want to build your home. You'll also learn if any bond or down payment assistance programs may be offered in the municipalities you are considering. Your partner's credit score. Lenders use customers' credit profiles to help determine your ability to repay a loan. When purchasing a home with someone else, both of your credit scores are considered. In most cases the lowest middle score between the two of you will be used. If you or your significant other has a very low score this may not only impact the loan amount you receive but also the interest rate. It may even prevent approval. If one of the credit scores is very low, as a couple you might discuss only one person applying for the mortgage loan. Have an honest conversation about debt. An important factor that lenders evaluate is your debt-toincome ratio. This varies by mortgage program but a good rule of thumb is to ensure your debt level is at or below 36 percent of your gross monthly income. Having an overabundance of debt could impact the amount of the loan or whether you receive mortgage approval. How much money can you put toward the purchase? It isn't necessary for you to put 20 percent down but most loan options require some sort of down payment. In many cases lower down payment options require mortgage insurance, which will increase your monthly payment. Will one or both of you be on the
note? If purchasing a home with someone else, each of you must qualify in order to be on the note, and both of you are responsible for the debt. If only one person is on the note, the other may not engage in any transactions regarding the loan, including refinancing, or application for modification. If one of you has less desirable credit, you may decide that only one of you will apply for the mortgage. You should also consult your state's attorney general's office to see if any community property laws exist in your state. Such laws could make a spouse legally responsible for any debt acquired by the other spouse after
marriage. If such a law exists in your state, it's important you are aware of it. Purchasing your first home is an exciting time and, for many people, a sign of success. But while you may want to rush out and start the shopping process now, take your time. Having a conversation with your significant other about the topics above beforehand will ensure you're both on the same page and set you up to make the most of your future and the home it includes.

From modest to magnificent: Create an entertainment space for any home
"Many houses and apartments have a closet or unused space that can easily be converted into an attractive and useful built-in bar," says Laura Bohn, a New York-based interior designer who has done this for several clients over the years. "If you live in a house with stairs, the space beneath them is often an ideal place to install a small, modestly equipped drinks center. It should be able to accommodate enough countertop to prepare cocktails, enough storage for a liquor cabinet, and maybe enough room for a fridge or wine cooler." A sink is not an absolute necessity, but if the small space you requisition is near a kitchen, powder room, laundry or bathroom, you may be able to make use of the existing plumbing and create a true wet bar. As Bohn notes, one advantage of using such confined spaces for built-in bars is that they can be closed off when not in use, so that a commandeered closet looks just like a closet, an appropriated staircase just like a staircase. "But a well-designed, well-crafted hardwood mini-bar needn't be hidden," she adds. "Made of
walnut, cherry or some other distinctive wood - my favorite is maple - it can be an integral and pleasing a part of the decor." Of course, larger butler's pantrystyle built-in bars cannot be hidden. Ideally, they are located discreetly in transitional spaces between kitchens and adjacent dining or living rooms. But in today's more open-plan houses, such built-in bars, often dubbed buffets, are likely to be in either the kitchen or living area itself - wallspanning installations that are on full public view and should therefore look as elegant as pieces of fine hardwood furniture. "Walnut is very popular right now for this type of bar," says Christine Donner, a kitchen designer in New Canaan, Connecticut. "It is an elegant wood and its cool tones complement the white-and-silver palette that my clients currently favor. It can be bleached to a lighter tone, left natural, or stained much darker, almost all the way to black. Limed oak, bleached to a lovely honey-blonde color, has a marvelous midcentury-modern feel that is slowly catching on, too."
For Donner, functionality is as important as aesthetics. "Wine connoisseurs often have an extensive collection of varietal-specific glasses that they want displayed, so I get asked a lot for glass-fronted cabinets with interior lighting," she says. "Much of this stemware is oversize or extra tall, so I make sure the shelves can accommodate their height. And I always include solid-door cabinets to stow motley collections of assorted liquor bottles." Fine hardwood cabinetry can also be used to conceal icemakers, refrigerators, bottle-cooling drawers, dishwashers and other unsightly appliances and equipment. "A small bar sink is also very useful," Donner continues. "Less for the water coming out of the spout than as a place to dump out old drinks or melted ice." Loading up your built-in bar with such practical, laborsaving features will free you up to enjoy your own party to the fullest. And that, surely, is the point of the exercise. Visit www.HardwoodInfo.com to learn more about cabinetry for built-in bars and other products made from American hardwoods. 311521-1
(BPT) - Entertaining at home? Whatever you're planning - big bash or intimate gathering, cheery beer fest or elegant wine tasting - an inviting and accessible built-in bar featuring handsome hardwood cabinetry can help transform mundane household space into the life of the party. And once the festivities are over, all the accouterments such as glasses and silverware, not to mention wine, liquor and mixers, can be stored in those cabinets, either displayed behind glass or hidden by solid wood doors. "Today, the term 'built-in bar' covers a variety of possible set ups," says Linda Jovanovich, of the American Hardwood Information Center at www.HardwoodInfo.com. At its simplest, a bar may occupy the end of a kitchen island - nothing more than a short length of dedicated countertop above a neat grid of cubbyholes to store wine and a small fridge to cool it when necessary. Slightly more ambitious bars comprise a niche or doorless closet fitted with wood shelves and cabinets, a countertop and perhaps a faucet and sink. Then there are more imposing affairs, the modern equivalent of a traditional butler's pantry, fully plumbed stations where not only drinks, but also finger foods and hors d'oeuvres can be prepared and served. Finally, there are dedicated sit-down bars. Complete with stools, behind-counter serving space, and semi-professional equipment, these pull-up-a-chair facilities have special requirements that take them beyond our present consideration.
