Tips To Make Your Current Residence
Home Sweet Home
(ARA) - Are lower real estate values keeping you in your current home - even though you were hoping to upgrade? Or, maybe you can’t bear the thought of boxing up all your belongings to move? You’re not alone. More homeowners are staying in their current homes, but remodeling with the idea of improving their quality of life and adding more “live-in value,” according to recent research from Consumer Reports.
Fashionable faucets
No matter what your reason for staying put, rest assured; you don’t have to move to get the home of your dreams ... just make a few home improvements.
Once you’ve found a model with these useful features, don’t forget about style. Designer finishes, such
Just think of how much time you spend at the sink, from rinsing fruits and vegetables to filling pots and washing hands and dishes. So why not update this kitchen focal point with a new functional and fashionable faucet? High-arc models with pullout spouts are the most ideal since they allow ample room to fill or clean large pots and pans. Models with multifunction sprays are helpful when washing delicate fruits.
Ooh la la kitchen
Today’s kitchens are no longer a place to simply cook and eat. Your kitchen is the “real” living room for living, working and entertaining - and the ideal room to improve for added enjoyment.
We take care of your mortgage. So you can take care of more important things.
Living here, we understand why you choose to make New Hampshire your home. Mortgage rates are historically low and now may be the time to secure a great rate on your new mortgage or refinance your current one. We want you to know that when you chose Laconia Savings Bank we take care of you. Kathy Finnigan Mortgage Loan Consultant 603.447.2408 ext. 6643

One project to improve your home and “live-in value” is installing a multilevel kitchen island. Not only does this provide an extra work area, but also an informal place for entertaining guests. Central island cooktops and sinks are another option, keeping cooking and clean-up areas within easy reach. Tying the overall look of the kitchen together will also help to make a style statement you can live with for years to come. Upgrading to stainless steel appliances is a common choice, especially with the latest technologies - such as built-in flat screen televisions or computers on refrigerators - all with a beautiful high-end finish.
The Renzo pullout kitchen faucet features the new Spot Resist finish from Moen, which actually resists fingerprints and water spots, so homeowners can have a functional and fashionable faucet.
as stainless steel will give your kitchen a professional look. And, for a designer look that maintains the beauty and brilliance of the faucet’s finish in between cleanings, try Moen’s Renzo pullout kitchen faucet with Spot Resist Stainless finish.

No matter the square footage of your home, accumulating belongings over the years contributes to a lack of storage space. Try to solve this issue by first purging items that you haven’t used within the past six months. Next, you can organize your necessities with a variety of storage systems - from drawer organizers to storage bins. And, if it seems like a task that you can’t handle on your own, hire a company that specializes in organization, such as Closet World, to create a customdesigned solution.

Today’s baths have evolved from a task-oriented room to become a private spa. Luckily it’s simple to turn your bath into a private sanctuary. To start, update your current showerhead with a more luxurious and functional design. If you prefer a powerful, full-body spray, perhaps you’d like a rainshower showerhead. Or, if you like options, try a multi-function version that allows you to switch from a relaxing wide spray to an invigorating concentrated spray - or somewhere in the middle. You can find a variety of designs and finishes at your local home improvement store, such as Lowe’s. And, as in the kitchen, the faucet is a focal point in the small space. Update your current faucet with a new designer style and finish ... and with watersaving benefits. Faucets account for approximately 15 percent of indoor household water use - more than 1 trillion gallons across the U.S. each year - so once you’ve found the perfect look, be sure that you choose one that is certified to meet WaterSense criteria. With these few home improvements you can start recouping your “live-in value” and make your current residence a home sweet home. The-BuyersGuide. com

(ARA) - The chill of winter winds might have you wishing for the first buds of spring, but garden lovers don’t need to let the cold season get them down. In fact, this can be the ideal time to start planning your landscape for spring and summer. Leaving the work until the last minute, when plants are starting to push up through the ground, will only delay your enjoyment. So harness your excitement for spring and prepare a plan with some expert help. Tackling a landscaping plan can be overwhelming, so it’s a good idea to consult a professional landscape designer who knows the ins and
outs of when, where and how to plant and how to install hardscapes. By starting in the winter designers will be more readily available to help you refine your plans, and you’ll be ready to get a head start as soon as the weather breaks. “There are so many details involved in creating the landscape of one’s dreams that it’s easy to become confused,” says Bobbie Schwartz, president of the Association of Professional Landscape Designers (APLD). “A landscape designer will be experienced in taking on the multiple unique challenges that every property poses.

and what could be adjusted through simple changes like pruning or minor transplanting.
Here are some tips from professional landscape designers that will inspire you to get started with your plans right now. Consider the view. Is there a certain room from which you tend to spend more time looking out at your landscape? If so, take the time to really examine what you’re seeing. Take note - literally - of anything that catches your eye, good or bad. Follow the sightlines, and notice where they take your eyes. This will give you a better defined idea of what you want to accentuate, what you want to hide,
A stepping stone path beckons through a classic arbor designed by landscape designer, Susan Cohan.
Collect inspiration. Flipping through magazines with colorful photos of beautiful gardens is always fun, but it can also be practical. Pull out pages that feature ideas or plants that you’d like to incorporate into your landscape design. Be sure to look at smaller photos, which often have a hard time standing up to fullpage images, as they can be just as rich with ideas. Creating a file of images that inspire and excite you is a good idea, and it can be a great way to connect with your landscape designer when you meet. * Think curb appeal. Having a beautiful backyard retreat is often the goal of a landscaping project, but the view that guests and passersby have is just as important. {continued on page 37}

Spring greening tips for your home (ARA) - As the weather warms, are you thinking about spring cleaning? Or, maybe you’re planning to spruce up your home with some improvements and upgrades. This year, why not add “spring greening” to your home-freshening routine? Making your home a “greener” place to live can improve its energy efficiency, reduce waste and make you feel more in harmony with the natural world springing to life around you. Green efforts can be as simple as switching out old incandescent light bulbs for more energy-efficient ones, or as energetic as adding skylights in the house or a vegetable garden in the backyard. If you’re looking for ways to make your home environment more earthfriendly this spring, here are some ideas to consider:
Powering down
No matter how eager you are for warm weather, you’re probably not too excited about the electric bills that come with summer heat. Heating and cooling account for the largest portion of a home’s energy bill. Fortunately, you can do a lot to reduce electric use - and waste - to trim costs and still keep your home comfortable. If you’re up for some minor improvement work that can pay off big in terms of energy savings, make your home feel more connected to nature, and add decorating flair, consider adding a skylight. The abundant natural light admitted to your home by skylights can help reduce the need to power artificial light sources. Plus, the natural chimney effect of venting skylights is a great way to passively vent moisture, fumes and potentially harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In spring

and fall, when it’s too warm for comfort, but not hot enough to justify turning on the air conditioning, venting skylights can let in cool breezes and lower cooling costs. And they can close automatically in case of rain. You can learn more about No Leak Skylights and their energy-efficient benefits at www.veluxusa.com. You can also reduce energy costs in warmer months with some simple maintenance. During summer, when your cooling system works harder, be sure to change the air filter on your home’s HVAC system every month. EnergyStar.gov also recommends a yearly tune-up of your system.
Greening up Some of the most popular home improvements can be accomplished in ways that are environmentally friendly. For example, painting is a common spring spruce-up. Many paints, however, contain VOCs and give off fumes that can irritate allergies and asthma. You can make your redecorating more eco-conscious by opting for low-VOC paints. And always be sure to open plenty of windows before painting, even if you’re using a low-VOC selection.
The fresh air will help the paint dry faster and ensure that any unpleasant odors vent quickly. Another common spring activity is lawn care. As warm weather approaches, many homeowners begin applying weed killer and fertilizer to their lawns in the hopes of having a lush, green carpet of grass come summer. Many lawn care products, however, can adversely affect the environment. If it’s a priority for you to green your lawn - and not just to have green grass - it’s possible to find plenty of eco-friendly lawn care products. Websites like www.OMRI.org, the home page of the Organic Materials Review Institute, can provide information on products that are environmentally friendly. Finally, as you’re undertaking your spring cleaning, keep in mind the need to reduce waste. When you clean out your garage or attic and purge closets, evaluate items before you toss them in the trash. You may find that many of the things you were going to throw away can be donated, sold or recycled - anything to get them out of your house without adding to the waste stream.
