Landscaping
Landscape for less Research conducted earlier this year by property agents in Auckland has shown that an attractive exterior landscape has the potential to add more than ten percent additional value onto the worth of your home, and increase its selling potential by up to fifty percent. No matter what corner of the globe your castle is located, if the exterior looks like the war-torn battlefields of Normandy during World War two, then you have some work to do before nailing the ‘For Sale’ sign to the fence. Ideally, to get the best potential from your yard, a landscape designer should be consulted to maximise the attractiveness and value that your improvements can yield. A landscape designer will provide professional design services plus vital experience and knowledge in the creation of unique spaces and places for people. Think beyond weeding and planting a few colourful flowers. A landscape designer will look at how the space can be best utilised, to ensure the people living there are receiving the most out of their exterior living space. From the material selections to the planting scheme, even the smallest choices form integral elements of the
project, resulting in a carefully considered and crafted balance of hardscape and softscape elements which will work together to get the most out of every space. However the costs involved with buying and selling houses can already be substantial, so if it is just not currently in your budget to hire a professional, there are a few things you can do yourself to increase the attractiveness of your property. It’s easy to spend far too much creating an idyllic lawn and garden, but a little ingenuity and some hard work will go a long way to keeping some green in your wallet, as well as in the garden.
A landscape designer will provide professional design services plus vital experience and knowledge The first thing you should do to avoid a costly mistake is to improve the quality and appearance of the soil in your garden. Nothing will grow in dry, cracked clay, so turn the soil, add some good quality compost, nutrients and some rich black soil to ensure that what you plant will actually grow.

And what better way to accentuate how fresh and attractive your home is than with lush green grass. Fertilize and treat the grass so that you have a nice green lawn, and buy lawn seed to fill out any thin spots to make the overall yard look more appealing.
No-one likes the thought or look of weeds, so after the soil is taken care of, plan to cover it up with weed-matting and then an attractive covering such as bark, wood-chip or stones. Check your bulk landscape supplier for the best deals on a trailer load of this product.

Leather decor
A little leather in your life Everybody can use a little leather in their decor. Leather furnishings are almost magical because they look good in every style home. You'll find breathtaking pieces that are timelessly classic and those that are edgy and modern. Here are tips I pass on to my customers, so they get the full knock-your-socksoff decorating effect of a lovely piece of leather furniture. Leather has a rich, yummy texture and comes in a varied palette, from neutral to vibrant colour. I generally use leather sparingly, mixing one or two pieces into groupings that mainly consist of upholstered furniture. Since I'm not a fan of matched looks, I am not partial to combos of leather sofa, love seat and side chair. A sea of leather can feel cold, and the similar style and shape repeated doesn't lend itself to the visually intriguing look I love. When I design rooms for friends and customers, I often include just one leather side chair or sofa in a grouping of upholstered pieces. Sometimes I place a pair of matching leather club chairs on either side of a fireplace or across from the sofa. Another look I like is a leather coffee-table ottoman that acts as the hub for upholstered pieces. I always finish off leather furniture with an accent pillow or two, picking patterns that play up the leather's natural richness while also bringing in colour and pattern. On custom-designed upholstered furnishings, I like to use leather as welting for a nice finish. Since it wears like iron, it's a great material for high traffic spots such as the edge of a seat cushion. Insist on quality. You can often tell by the look and feel. And even if the difference isn't immediately apparent on the showroom floor, you'll be able to tell the difference soon enough. The quality piece will look amazing in 20 years and the inferior grade will look bad after just a few.

- Wax pull-up hides are treated with a combination of wax and oil, which permeates the hide and helps it resist moisture. This finish is great for people who want a more perfect-looking leather piece characterised by a consistent colour tone and minimal variation in pattern. It's more resistant to scratching and will provide a consistent look through the years. - Aniline plus hides are full-grain, aniline dyed leathers that have a thin layer of matching pigment applied to the surface to minimise the naturally occurring variations in shade. This finish is more sun-resistant and does well under a lot of wear and tear. Because leather can last for decades, I recommend picking a style you will still love 20 years from now. Here are four possible approaches: - A classic frame covered in contemporary colours. Furniture makers are doing phenomenal things with coloured leather. These wonderful pieces rejuvenate classic silhouettes with hip colours like turquoise, buttery yellow and green. A fun marriage of classic and contemporary, a brilliant piece will add fun and excitement to a traditional room. - A contemporary frame co vered in a contemporary colour. The colour wheel is spinning round and round when it comes to leather, and the frames are getting more and more fun.

Here are three different styles of leather: aniline, wax pull-ups and aniline plus. Each finish has its own look and advantages.
Want to get warmer and healthier this winter?
- Aniline hides offer the most naturallooking finish, preserving leather patterns and tones instead of covering it up. In this process, the full-grained hides are stained with translucent dyes, a process that expresses a hide's fine textural variations and nuances of tone. Each hide looks unique, with its own character and imperfections. This is my favourite finish because I think the blemishes make the furniture more interesting and attractive.
- A contemporary frame covered in a classic colour. Leather is a super sexy material, and when you place a classic colour like tan or brown on a contemporary frame that pushes the boundaries just a bit, you get one provocative piece of furniture.

Winter tips
Home is where the heat is
Winter is dark, cold, long and expensive, at least where heating a home is concerned. It’s the time of year when our energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions go sky high. Energy costs are rising across the board, and defending every dollar we spend on heat has never been more important.
Doors and windows are the two prime locations for drafts in any home. This is especially true in homes with older windows and doors. If you added up all the space in your home where air could get in or out, often the space is equivalent to leaving the front door wide open. Not surprising this makes it extremely hard for your heating source to work effectively. You could be losing 15 to 25 percent of your heat through these open spaces.
As the dreaded electricity bill arrives, we begin to contemplate the best ways to save money and still keep the house at a comfortable temperature. Thankfully, there are a number of ways to curb heating costs and most are easy to implement. We all need to keep warm, but we can do it in a greener, cleaner, more affordable way. Using the following methods, you will be able to have a warmer home and save money at the same time.
You can purchase rolls of self-adhesive rubber seals at any hardware store, use gap filler for cracks in the walls and if you have to, resort to rolling up your bath towels and putting them at the bottom of your exit doors to prevent heat escaping. It’s a small price to pay for retaining a large chunk of the heat you have already paid to create.
cover your cracks I don’t mean pull up your jeans and buy a belt, although that would certainly assist keeping your derriere delightfully warmer.
drapes and carpet the thicker the better A large percentage of your home’s heat is lost through your windows, especially if they are not double insulated. Heavy, lined curtains which extend below the window frame will insulate your windows and help keep the warmth in. Using heavier curtains
will not only help to make a home feel a lot cosier; they also help to stop heat escaping through the windows. Ones with a proper thermal backing are the best at making a noticeable difference.
Rugs add another layer of insulation to the floor, trapping the cool air underneath and keep it from seeping up and cooling the room On a warm sunny day, open the curtains to let the natural warmth of the sun heat the inside of your home, and right when those golden beams are no longer having a warming effect and the temperature dips, close the curtains to hug the warmth, giving you a few free hours before the cold of night seeps in to chill the interior. Carpet can be an expensive addition, but definitely worth consideration for long-term warmth benefits. As a cheaper alternative, a thick rug can offer similar insulation properties and feel nicer underfoot on a chilly
morning. Not just a design element to add a pop of colour in your living area, rugs add another layer of insulation to the floor, trapping the cool air underneath and keep it from seeping up and cooling the room. Concentrate on the rooms of your home that you use and heat most often and place a rug that covers most of the floor in these areas. Woolen is best, and as with carpet selection, the thicker or denser the weave, the better.
when not in use, close it out Furniture can’t feel the cold so why waste energy heating areas that you’re not using. Rooms such as guest bedrooms and storage rooms generally don’t need to be heated throughout the winter until guests arrive, so seal them up to save wasted heat escaping to large voids. Go one step further and consider if you really need to be using an additional room to perform a task that could be done elsewhere. Such as an office or a craft room. Consider moving the computer to the dining room table for a few months in winter to make the most of a living area which

Winter tips
is already heated, rather than adding another room unnecessarily to the heating bill.
put some clothes on Gone are the days for most of us when we can afford to lounge around in our underwear while it’s frosty outside. Some evenings are more bitterly cold than others, especially following a cold dark day, and our heating sources may struggle to raise the temperature. If saving money is important to your financial situation, then concentrate on heating yourself rather than your home. Have a hot shower, put on an extra layer of clothes, have a filling hot meal and stay in one room that you can concentrate on heating. Remember the important information your mum gave you about staying warm in winter – put some socks on, and since a lot of heat escapes through the top of our head, pop on a wooly hat to trap in every lasting piece of warmth. You may feel ridiculous, but if it keeps you warm, your bank account will thank you in the long run.
fans arent just for cooling Ceiling fans are more prominent in hotter, tropical climates, but if you have one installed in your home, don’t forget that it can help to keep your room warmer in the winter. In preparation for colder weather, reverse the direction of airflow on your fans. Circulating the air back through the room will heat the room more evenly and ease the effort your heater needs to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. Counterclockwise rotation produces cooling breezes while switching to clockwise makes it warmer. Air which is warmer and hovering near the ceiling is circulated back into the living space; reducing the energy you need to spend on heating by up to an additional 10 percent.
snug as a bug in insulation Insulation is a given to make any home warmer, but to do it all in one
hit can be an expensive exercise. You may be eligible for an energy grant from the government to assist with these costs, but many families still can’t afford the initial outlay. Start small, and begin by wrapping anything you can. A cheaper place to start is by concentrating on maintaining the heat in your hot water pipes and cylinder. A hot water cylinder wrap is available from hardware stores for around $60 and is an effective way to keep the cylinder from losing too much heat. Check the temperature gauge on your cylinder to make sure it’s not running too hot, as this can substantially increase the cost of your hot water heating. The cylinder temperature should remain slightly hotter than 60 degrees Celsius to prevent the growth of Legionella bacteria, but any hotter than this is just a waste of energy.
consult a professional before making a purchase.
IT'S WINTER, NOT SUMMER While it’s tempting to crank up the heat and run around in shorty PJ’s like you’re on holiday in the Pacific Islands, just remember that every degree hotter you are heating your home is costing you more on your power bill. A comfortable temperature for most is between 18 and 20 degrees Celsius, so before you reach for the temperature button to raise it up a few notches, are you really wanting to increase your power bill by up to four percent additional for every extra degree of heat? As that is what it could cost you.
If you don’t have thermostat controlled heating such as a heat pump, consider getting an electronic thermometer for your living area to keep an eye on the temperature. It could potentially create large financial savings in the long run. The best way to hold your heating costs down is heat your home efficiently while keeping the cold out. A little more insulation in the hot water system and ceiling, thermal drapes and rubber seals to keep drafts out, or an extra layer on the floor will help to keep a room warm. Your savings generated could top more than $600 this winter with a little planning and consideration, a nice deposit toward some longer-term energy saving initiatives, or perhaps a holiday somewhere a bit warmer.
After the cylinder is taken care of, check to see if your hot water pipes are insulated, as this can also be causing unnecessary heat loss. Wrap external hot water pipes with insulation tape to reduce the heat loss from your hot water tank to the taps, and reduce the energy needed to get your hot water. It can be bought inexpensively from your local hardware store. There are also alternatives for pipe insulation such as specific fibreglass insulation, or a cheaper alternative is use pre-moulded foam rubber sleeves. Insulating your walls may be an expensive option as you will need to remove the gib to lay the insulation, but a more effective and affordable place to start is your ceiling. A wellinsulated house can use almost half the energy for heating and cooling, compared to a non-insulated home, which means that insulation pays for itself in cheaper bills in as little as one to two years. With energy prices likely to rise, installing insulation now is a smart way of avoiding excessive bills in the future. For effective insulation, be sure that the insulation doesn’t have gaps in-between it when installed, and make sure it is the recommended thickness to prevent heat escaping. Ceiling batts are different to wall batts, so make sure you

Dress your windows for success Everyone loves a room with a view, but while the outdoor panorama is dictated by the location of your home, the indoor panorama of closed window furnishings can be whatever your heart desires. How you accessorise your windows affects not only the mood inside your home but also the appearance from outside. Style and appearance are always at the top of the list when choosing new window furnishings, but with electricity costs continually on the rise, insulation quality and functionality of your choice makes the decision not as straightforward. The top consideration in any room should initially be functionality. What is the desired purpose of the light in that room. Blinds might not be a hot choice in a bedroom as the small gaps can disrupt sleep quality.
Having the curtains touch the floor will offer optimum insulation. The great thing about being ontrend at the moment is that it’s both functional and savvy to have more than one window treatment per window. Combination window treatments have become a really enviable option with the use of two products, such as a block out roller blind behind a sheer drape or plantation shutter. The combination can soften the overall look and provide all the functional elements as well as a more gentle and stylish atmosphere.
for insulation. Having the curtains touch the floor will offer optimum insulation. Technology plays such a huge role in our lives and our windows are no exception. Window furnishings can now be controlled via remote, a light switch and even from your computer while you’re at the office. Motorised blinds, curtains, shutters, roman blinds and venetians are so popular, and have become more affordable in recent times. But just because your windows have gone high-tech, it doesn’t mean they have to be stark and harsh. Layering fabrics with high-thread-count cottons is one technique used to soften the trendy industrial look. If you want to add some opulence to your home, window treatments are a perfect place to start. Luxe fabrics with bold colours and textures that beg to be touched will transform a room from boring to beautiful. Think patterned silk, crystal embellishments, heavy velvet or even thick fur. A window furnishing can be the focal point of your room, drawing your eye to bold colours or a sensational view, or it can be subtle, letting the eye tend toward a more magnificent feature on display. Sheer fabrics can add whimsy, playful light and artistic shadows. By leaving your window naked you’re choosing to throw money right out of it, so no matter how you choose to dress your view, your new style project will be saving you money in the long run.
If you are in an older-style home with large windows and wooden frames, insulation may be at the top of your functionality check-list. Window coverings can assist immensely in keeping your home cool in summer and warm in winter. Full-length curtains with an attached block out lining and a pelmet over the top are still the top performing choice
