Do you live to ski?

Attitash. Not a mountain. The mountain.

Trip Advisor rated New England as the most pocket friendly ski destination region. Come and see why Aspen and Park City have nothing on us. When you want the luxury and lifestyle that those famous winter hot spots offer at a price that blows them out of the water, you want Bearfoot Creek. The community with the only sale over $1,000,000 in 2011 in the Mt Washington Valley, Bearfoot Creek offers a truly unique trailside home experience. House packages starting at $795,000

Bearfoot Creek.

Not a place. The place.

Why Choose JtRealty Lakefront to Mountainside?

1 JtRealty dominates the luxury home market, representing buyers in 50% of all homes sold over $525,000 in 2011, 4x the number brought by any other agency in the Mt Washington Valley.

1 Joy Tarbell raised 2 ski racers on Attitash Mountain, who grew up skiing from their trailside deck. Living on the mountain for 25 years means she has first-hand knowledge of the properties on and around Attitash, and can answer questions from personal experience.

1 JtRealty is one of few real estate firms where every agent has sold Attitash Mountain property and knows the mountain. When you want Attitash real estate, you need JtRealty.

These homes all found new owners in 2011 thanks to Joy Tarbell:

But don’t worry, we saved some for you!

Could one of these be your next vacation home?

Grand Summit Resort Quartershare Condos 13 deeded weeks at the foot of Attitash! Enjoy all the benefits of a world class mountain resort at unheard of prices until now.

Sleep-4 units starting at $10,900

“Not only did Joy respond to every request for information, she returned calls promptly and provided important information that we didn’t even realize to ask for. She is an expert on the area, knows the properties in detail, and has been extremely helpful and prepared every step of the way. I actually initially engaged another broker but was impressed enough with Joy’s preparation and follow up that I switched to her.” Jim Walker, Canton, MA

Easy-to-change seasonal decorating ideas (ARA) - When spring arrives with its bright sunshine, fresh air, vibrant colors and light, do you find yourself regretting the decorating decisions you made last fall or winter? It’s natural to incorporate the season into your home decor, and the best way to do that is with design touches that can change as easily - and quickly - as the seasons themselves.

While you may love the bright reds and greens of the holiday season or the lush

lilacs and blues of spring and summer, making them the foundation of a room’s design can leave the decor feeling out-ofstep when the seasons change. By starting out with a foundation of neutral colors in walls, flooring and furnishings, you can add colorful and seasonally appropriate accents.

Updating your decor to complement the season is as simple as focusing on a few key areas.

Lighting ••• It’s easy to overlook, but lighting is a key element in room design, and one that needs to change with the season. Most rooms will benefit from a mixture of overhead lighting, floor lamps, wall sconces and table lamps.

In spring and summer, when sunshine is abundant and the days are longer, you can rely more on natural light. During warm months, you may only need artificial light late in the evening, when the advanced hour makes soft, muted light appropriate. Winter’s shorter days and weaker sunlight lead to greater dependence on artificial light throughout the day, so your lighting design should include options that can be used throughout the day.

Walls ••• While neutral-hued walls make a versatile background for virtually any design, don’t be afraid to spice things up with seasonal touches.

Repositionable wall covering options like SmartStick from MuralsYourWay. com, make it possible to create a seasonal look with a wall mural - and then remove it and replace it with something different when the season changes.

A patented adhesive allows you to easily place the removable wallpaper on virtually any smooth, flat surface, from windows to walls. You can pull it down, reposition it elsewhere, even fold it up and store it in a drawer for use next year. A wide variety of designs mean you can find something to fit your seasonal decor, and if you don’t see anything you like, you can customize by submitting your own original photo through the website.

You’ve found the house, now make it yours with beautiful hardwood flooring from

For over 40 years!

Flooring ••• If your floor is wood or you have a newer home with builder-installed carpet, you probably already have a neutral palette to work with. Adding seasonal flair to floors is as simple as adding or removing area rugs.

Area rugs in rich tones can warm up a room during winter months - especially when wood floors can feel cold underfoot. You can even add an accent rug in evergreen or crimson to underscore your holiday decor.

In warm months, when your family spends more time outdoors, a more durable area rug, positioned near entryways can help keep soil, grass clippings and other debris off your carpet or floor.

Accessories ••• From window treatments to wall art, accessories are an easy, great way to create a seasonal look in any room.

In winter, when you want to keep out the chill, choose heavier drapes in colors that inspire warmth and comfort.

For autumn or spring, when you want to welcome in sunlight, lighter, sheerer options can be appropriate. And in summer, when you’ll rely on blinds to block out hot midday sun, pastels and lighter fabrics can be a soothing foil to the utilitarian appearance of blinds.

Just as you change your own wardrobe to stay in step with the seasons, updating your home decor seasonally can help make your home feel welcoming and comfortable.

Fortunately, it’s easy to keep your home decor in tune with the seasons when you make a few updates that are easy to change with the season.
