Our experience with your Realtor Lisa Ratledge was wonderful! When we moved here from Seattle, Lisa took time to explain WUDIĂ&#x20AC;F SDWWHUQV QHLJKERUKRRG DPHQLWLHV schools and answered all your questions, even after we closed. We told her what we were looking for, and she never tried to up-sell us. Instead, she found the perfect home in our price range with everything QHDUE\ VR ZH FDQ HQMR\ WKH RXWGRRUV shopping and even a night out without going to far. Now, we spend less time in the car and more time with each other. THANK YOU Lisa! -Michael and Catina Wilchenski

(ARA) - When adults decide to move, it’s often to pursue an exciting opportunity or discover a new place. But for children, moving can be much harder to understand, as often they’ve only known one place as home. Here are some tips from the moving experts at Penske truck rental (www.PenskeTruckRental. com) for helping your children adapt to a new place, along with some practical moving advice for families: * Open a line of honest communication. It can be hard to tell your kids that they’ll be moving, but making sure that they know they can talk about how they’re feeling about the move is important. * Help them say goodbye. Organize a goingaway party for your children and their friends, and work with the parents of their friends to gather contact information so they can keep in touch after you move. * Pack a first-day box. Have each child pack a box of things that they will want the first day you move into your new home, like favorite toys, books or stuffed animals. Have the movers pack these boxes last so they are the first thing that is unloaded when you arrive.

Using Bold Paint Colors Paint is one of the least “...color should expensive and most versatile flow throughout means to changing the look of a a house. Every room. According to the experts room need not from “This Old House,” 60 be painted the percent of the colors of a home same color....” that visitors perceive come from the paint on the walls. Choosing a color scheme can be challenging, which is why so many people stick with neutrals like beige and white. For those who are ready to add a spark of color, there are a few guidelines to consider. Color theory is a science and there are rules of using color that are taught as early as a child’s first foray into art class. We know there are primary, secondary and complementary colors on the color wheel. Even novice home decorators can do well with color if they use the color wheel as their guideline. According to HGTV, color should flow throughout a house. Every room need not be painted the same color. However, colors should be complementary enough that they flow into one another. Don’t paint one room in child’s basic primary colors, while painting other rooms in jewel tones and pastels. Stick with one theme and carry it through the house. Once you have decided to use a bold color, first find your color inspiration. Color combinations that appear in nature are more readily accepted by people, so look for an item in nature, such as a seashell or a flowering plant that you can base your color choices on. Others pull inspiration from a particular design item. For instance, maybe an area rug strikes your fancy. Use colors that appear in the rug in the room. Keep in mind that using bold color doesn’t mean you have to paint every wall from ceiling to floor in that color. Rather, if you’re just starting out with bold colors, select one wall to serve as an accent wall. Use that wall as your bold canvas and paint it with your chosen hue. Some people like to experiment with a more flashy color in a smaller space. If you’re nervous about beginning in the living room or kitchen, how about trying out bold color in a smaller space, such as a powder room? A more intimate space might seem less overwhelming when painted in a bold color. Go for a deep purple or another jeweled tone. However, try to avoid greens in the bathroom, as they may reflect off of the mirror and cast a hue onto your face that makes you look unwell. Pinks and peaches

will shed a rosy glow. If you will be incorporating complementary colors into the room, use the paint color swatch as your guide. Most paint manufacturers use three or four different shades on one sample card. When selecting a complementary shade, be sure to pick from the same tone on the card. That means Continued on page 12

homefront Using Bold Paint Colors... continued from page 11

if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re choosing the darkest of color #1 from a card, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to choose the darkest from color #2. Another idea is to leave walls neutral and use bold color on design accents. For example, designers at marthastewart.com recommend painting the inside of niches, shelves or cabinets with glass doors in bright tones and the outside white to create an eye-catching space without going overboard. Put a bold color on moulding or use an appliance or a fixture in a bright color as your splash of boldness. Remember to have balance. If you will be painting an entire 12 | YourAtHomeNow.com

room in a bold color, think about having the other decor items in neutral colors. Sofas and rugs should be neutral colors, or consider toning down a vibrant color with the use of white molding or baseboards. All it may take is a little inspiration to get started on fun, inviting color schemes in the home. Furniture store Raymour & Flanigan offers a handy design tool for incorporating different colors into a space. Find ideas at www.raymourflanigan.com/Design-Center/Color-Story.aspx.

“...A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner.....”

Pros And Cons Of Open Floor Plans

Open floor plans have evolved to be the floor plan of choice in new homes and current home renovations. Turn on a home renovation show, and you’re likely to see eager homeowners knocking down walls to open the kitchen to the family room. Walls have become anathema to homeowners. There are many supporters of the open floor plan, particularly those who entertain frequently or like to keep an eye on children throughout the house. Although open floor plans are touted, there are plenty of people who have never been enamored with having all of their rooms flowing into one. There also are some people who prefer a different style. For those who are not fans of the open floor plan, blame the excess of the 1980s for their inception. In homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, rooms were compartmentalized and isolated for specific activities. During the 1980s, an era of “bigger is better,” when entertaining was widely popular among homeowners, designers noticed that many homeowners preferred an open floor plan in which rooms merged into one another, creating the illusion of more space. These floor plans also enable people to be in separate rooms and still interact with one another across the space. A home’s floor plan largely depends on the preference of the homeowner. There are many advantages to having an open floor plan versus one that is more compartmentalized. Here is a look at some of the pros and cons. Pro: Open floor plans can be safer for parents of young children. If the home opens up with the living spaces branching off from the kitchen, parents can keep an eye on children while the parents prepare dinner. It also eliminates the number of places that kids can hide and get into mischief. Con: Privacy is reduced in a home with few walls. Much in the way that an open floor plan enables children to be seen from every angle, it also enables you to be seen -- and all of your belongings as well. There’s also no place to retreat to if you need a minute to collect yourself when entertaining. You’re on display unless you retreat to the bathroom. Pro: Entertaining can be easier in a home with an open floor plan because hosts and hostesses are not separated from their guests or holed up in the kitchen the entire time. An open space enables everyone to mingle and conversations to flow. Con: Those who like to host events without showing guests all of their dirty dishes or secrets of the kitchen may dislike an open floor plan. Pro: Light can flow effectively through an open space, minimizing dark rooms and reducing the need to install more windows. Light in and of itself can help a home feel more spacious. Con: While light can flow easily, so can sound. Noises through the house may be Continued on page 26 February 2013 | 25

amplified. A student doing homework in the dining room may be disturbed by the television blaring in the family room. Talking on the phone or even finding a quiet nook to read a book may be challenging. Pro: Open floor plans allow for more family time together in one space than a home with a more compartmentalized layout. Con: People who are collectors or who have a lot of furniture or accent items may find that open floor plans do not work well with this type of design mantra. Pro: Because several rooms run into one another, color choices for walls and furnishings in a home with an open floor plan can be limited and cohesive, making choices easier. Con: On the flip side, those who want to incorporate different color schemes and eclectic styles may have difficulty deciding on where to â&#x20AC;&#x153;endâ&#x20AC;? rooms or how to co-mingle furniture. 26 | YourAtHomeNow.com

Questions:

A & with Jo

about Charlotte area real estate market

Should I lower the price of my house, and if so, when? I have had showings but no offers, and my house has been FOR SALE for three months.

Accurate, market pricing is absolutely crucial from the moment that sign goes up in the front yard. That price should have been determined after researching what other homes in the neighborhood have sold for in the last six months in order to determine what’s going on in the market. A CMA (comparative market analysis) will not only tell you the sales prices of other homes, but it will also tell you the original listing price, days on market, and the differential between the list price and sales price. I find that it is also very helpful to look at the expired listings or the withdrawn listings in the neighborhood because those might give you an indication of what the properties that are not selling and why whether the reason be price, location, or condition. There is no arguing with the fact that past sales prices indicate what the homeowner can expect to receive for his/her home. In order to sell your home, the pricing must be realistic. Today’s buyers are very savvy, and when they come to look at your house, they already know what the house down the street sold for, how long it had been on the market, and whether or not the seller had to include perks such as closing costs for the buyer. And because of on line virtual home tours, they can visit those houses that have already sold as a way of comparing yours to those. If after you review what similar homes in your neighborhood have sold for and yours is priced above that number, then you definitely should lower the price. If there are other homes currently on the market in

your neighborhood, you must be competitive with their pricing otherwise the potential buyer won’t waste his/her time visiting a house that is overpriced for the area. If you are competitively priced, and your home has not sold, then you need to consider the location of your home. Where is your home situated in the neighborhood in relation to the other homes for sale? Is your location as desirable as a competing home? If you back up to the road while the competing properties back up to privacy and trees, then your home is not as desirable. What about the condition of your home? Have the exterior and interior been well maintained? If the competing homes have a granite kitchen, for example, and yours has laminate counters, then yours would be less desirable for that buyer who wants to move right in with a minimal of work. What about the landscaping? Remember, you only have one chance to make a good impression. Agent and potential buyer feedback is very important to the home owner who wishes to sell. If the same response persists (such as outdated kitchen), then you might want to adjust your price to reflect that. If your home is in great condition, if it is in prime location, and if the pricing accurately reflects the market, and it still has not sold, then consider how your home is being marketed. Do you have maximum exposure in various media including the internet and print? Don’t depend on word of mouth or the front yard sign to encourage visits. Being pro-active as a seller is critical. Anticipate potential problems and remedy those so they won’t become issues. Lowering the price of your home will definitely jump start interest, especially if it is a reduction that will put your home price in line with others in the neighborhood, and if you do all you can do to correct any of your home’s shortcomings before they become a deterrent to potential sellers.

Increase Storage Possibilities

What homeowner has not lamented that they have many more belongings than they have storage space? In some homes, particularly in older homes, closet space and other areas to store items may be lacking. Apartment dwellers often find they’re lacking in storage space as well. But savvy homeowners can find both permanent and temporary solutions to their home storage problems. One of the easiest ways to create storage space is to simply remove some belongings from the residence. Go through closets around the house and pick through the attic and/or garage to see if there are any items that can be discarded or donated. Items that are broken can be discarded, while those things that still have utility can be donated or sold. The next step is to maximize the space of your existing closets. Many closets are equipped with just a shelf and a clothing rack, greatly limiting the storage potential. Investing in a closet organization system is 32 | YourAtHomeNow.com

“Messy closets and clutter elsewhere in the home may be indicative of a storage deficit. But there are ways to easily increase storage space.”

one way to transform a poorly utilized space. These systems can be purchased, often inexpensively, from a home improvement center. Compiled of modular racks and shelving, the positioning can be customized depending on the size of the closet. Oftentimes, the addition of shelving or another rack for hanging clothes can solve some storage issues. These closet systems also are ideal for renters because they can be installed with minimal damage and be removed when a lease expires. Homeowners may have to think vertically to solve storage solutions. Wall space may be abundant in a home where closets are not. Therefore, shelving and cabinets can be places to keep items neatly off the floor. A series of shelves can be installed next to a washing machine to keep laundry supplies organized. In children’s rooms, build bookcases the height of the room so children can store frequently continued on page 34

used reading material and toys on the lower levels, and adults can put collectibles and mementos near the top. Hang hooks to hold hats and robes. Whenever possible, look to store items on the walls where they will keep clutter off the floor. Storage can even be created in the bathroom, where the space over the toilet can be used to hang a cabinet to store hand towels and other toiletries if the space under the sink has already been claimed. Many apartment dwellers recognize the advantage of having items that serve double-duty in their living spaces. For example, a convertible sofa can be used for sitting and then turn into a bed for overnight guests. Ottomans that have a storage compartment

can house anything from throw blankets to magazines. An armoire may house the television but also have a pull-out shelf that can hold a laptop computer. In the kitchen, move food items out of cabinetry and into a â&#x20AC;&#x153;pantryâ&#x20AC;? you create elsewhere in the house, such as a laundry room or garage. This frees up more room for pots and pans. Cabinets that have pull-out shelving help maximize tight recesses of cabinets and keep things organized and in sight. For those with limited cabinets, pots and pans can be hung from a pot rack suspended in the kitchen. Even when there is a small amount of storage space, individuals can find clever ways to neatly store items.

Designing a laundry room When purchasing a home, buyers often look at the kitchen space and how many bedrooms there are, while largely ignoring other rooms, including the laundry room. Oftentimes, the washer and dryer are relegated to a dark corner of the basement or garage, and homeowners simply accept their laundry lot. More and more manufacturers now produce washers and dryers that are both functional and aesthetically appealing. As a result, homeowners and renters need not feel they have to hide laundry rooms like they did in the past. Having the laundry nearby the family action -- and paying attention to laundry room design -- can make the work of keeping clothes tidy that much easier. Many designers would agree that you need not sacrifice style for function in a laundry room. As with any other area of the house, impart design elements into the room and make it a room in which you want to spend time. * First and foremost, select appliances that offer the features you need and want. Also, find appliances that fit the space you have. Front-loading appliances have become the latest must-have, but some units may be too big or expensive for your space. Those with a limited area for laundry can invest in a stackable set, in which the washer and dryer are combined into one vertical unit. For those who want to add a pop of color, select among the variety of colored washers and dryers that are turning up in store showrooms. You’re no longer limited to white, black and beige. * Consider cabinetry in your laundry space. Cabinets and drawers are not just for the kitchen. They can hide cleaning products, detergent, dryer sheets and so much more. Fill drawers with stainremoval sticks and items to mend clothes that may be missing a button or have a small hole that needs tending. * A laundry area also can be much more than just a place to wash and fold clothes. Many people like to turn this spot into a multipurpose zone. By including some shelving and a refrigerator in the laundry room, you can create a food-storage pantry. A large countertop normally used to fold clothes can also double as a giftwrapping station. Think about merging a laundry room with a craft room where sewing or scrapbooking can take place. * Remember to leave room for the soiled clothing. Raising hamper bins off of the floor to be suspended from a rod above the washer frees up valuable floor space. Otherwise, keep the hamper behind a curtain or tucked into a cabinet to ensure the laundry room always looks neat, even when you haven’t yet gotten to the newest pile of dirty clothes. * Don’t be afraid of adding color and artwork to the laundry space. In fact, embrace it. Here’s an out-of-the-way area of the home where you can explore your creativity and have a little fun. Try an eye-opening color, such as apple green or bright yellow to add a sunny disposition to the room.

“Put some consideration into how you design your laundry room.”

* You don’t have to spend a fortune on a laundry room re-do. Shop in salvage stores or antique shops for custom pieces to add character to the space. You can probably find cabinetry or shelving for a fraction of the cost of new items, and these older items may add more character to the space. * Save space by installing a counter just above the dryer so you will have a place to fold and stack clothing. * The bulk of dirty clothes will be generated in the bedrooms and bathroom of the house. But who wants to carry clothes down to a laundry area on a lower level? See if you can tuck a laundry room into an upstairs closet or nook to make doing laundry more practical. Although a laundry room is often an afterthought, taking time to organize and plan the space can make it both functional and inviting.

TOP 12 TIPS WHEN SELLING YOUR HOME 1. Get the right mindset. Once you list your home, detach yourself. 2. Start at the curb. Look at what people see when they pull up. 3. Paint -- it’s money in a can. 4. Focus on the entry. 5. Catch up on maintenance. 6. Look for alternatives to expensive or messy upgrades. 7. Consider new appliances. 8. Make anything metal in your home look new and shiny. 9. Start packing.

“The average home would show much better if it had 50% less stuff”

10. Remove the “you” factor.

Sorry but home buyers don’t care about your trophies, your hobbies, your taste in art or your photos.

11. Clean house. 12. Banish smells.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lake Norman, the largest body of fresh water in North Carolina, takes its name from Norman Atwater Cocke, former president of Duke Power, the company that created the lake. The scenic inland sea was created in 1967 by the establishment of the Cowans Ford Dam on the Catawba River. Lake Norman got it’s name from former Duke Power president Norman Cocke and is the largest man-made lake in North Carolina, and covers approximately 32,475 acres and is the larger than the Sea of Galilee. There have been several unusual sightings around Lake Norman, including a mysterious cat-like creature known as the Wampus, UFO’s, man sized catfish and an alligator or two. 78 | YourAtHomeNow.com

DID YOU KNOW?

Union County was established in 1842 when it was formed from both Anson and Mecklenburg Counties. There was some disagreement on the name for the new county between political parties. Depending on the point of view, the county should be named Clay or Jackson. Its name was a compromise between Whigs, who wanted to name the new county for Henry Clay, and Democrats, who wanted to name it for Andrew Jackson. Later both Clay County and Jackson County were used for new counties in the state. February 2013 | 83

Your most powerful decorating tool: the Internet

Redecorating used to be most fun for those who had the time to spend poring through interior design magazines, waiting for samples to arrive in the mail, and driving to specialty stores looking for exactly the right item for their redesign. Today, remodeling ideas and items that would once have taken hours - or even weeks - to obtain are now easily available, thanks to the magic of the Internet. Where once you would have had to locate and drive to a specialty store for items like custom blinds, slipcovers or lighting, you can now browse and purchase a staggering variety of options all from the comfort of your home PC. Do-it-yourselfers will find plenty of inspiration and inventory online. Here are three interior decorating ideas that you can easily bring to life with the help of some Internet shopping: 1. Buying blinds Perhaps you remember your mother or grandmother driving from store to store in search of the perfect window treatment. While most department stores have always offered window treatments, in the past the selection has been limited and often pricey. Online resources solve the inventory and pricing problem and spare you a trip to the home improvement store. Websites like Blinds.com offer thousands of cost-effective options, from wood, aluminum and vertical blinds to cell shades, shutters and draperies. Plus, shipping is free. Changing window treatments is a great way to update the look of a room for a modest investment of cash. And replacing window treatments is one of the easiest DIY projects you can tackle. Online shopping also makes it easy to update your window treatments according to the season. As summer approaches, replace tired old blinds with cellular shades that block heat and ultraviolet rays but still allow light to filter through. When colder months arrive, add a layer of insulation

at your windows with lined draperies. 2. Lovely linens Sure you can find a big selection in terms of style at big box linen stores, but the variety of brands - not to mention lower-priced options - might be lacking. Need especially deep-pocketed sheets for your plush pillow-top mattress? You’ll probably find them in stores, but at a cost that may make you wish you’d bought an air mattress instead. Online, you can find options in every style, color and thread count imaginable - and often at prices that retailers can’t match. A Google search for “linens” yields nearly 40 million results. Your biggest challenge will be deciding which online merchant to check out first. Some websites specialize in luxury linens, while others offer more basic and practically priced options. You may also find good deals by going directly to the website of a designer you like. 3. Simplifying slipcovers Long gone are the days when “slipcover” mostly referred to that awful clear plastic covering your grandmother put on the couch to keep the kids and pets from staining it. Slipcovers aren’t just for sofas anymore, according to HGTV.com. You can find slipcovers for ottomans, armchairs, recliners, dining chairs and more - all online. Modern slipcovers are a great way to change the look of a piece of furniture and the room in which it sits. Cheaper than reupholstering or buying new furniture, adding a slipcover can resurrect a treasured piece that may have worn upholstery but is still in good shape otherwise. Whether you’re looking to update one room or a whole house, online resources have made redecorating easier than ever. A few clicks of a mouse button can help you quickly create a new look, so you can spend more time enjoying your new decor than you did shopping for it. Courtesey of ARA Content
