10 Tips to Make Your Kitchen More Inviting! The rules have changed. Old is new, worn gives character, rustic is romantic, candlelight is inviting. Unexpected pops of color add charm Use these tips (and some flea market finds) to transform your home decor from dull and ordinary to spectacular. 1. Replace all fluorescent lighting with incandescent or halogen fixtures. Ideally, all kitchens should have three levels of lighting: Overhead task lighting (recessed cans), under-counter task lighting, and decorative lighting such as pendants or island lighting. Whenever possible, make sure your recessed cans and decorative lighting have a dimmer switch to create an inviting night time mood when entertaining. 2. Small kitchens can have pendant lighting too. When a kitchen lacks an island, a nice spot is to hang a single decorative fixture is over the sink because there is a break in the cabinetry.

These kitchen cabinets were installed in the 1980’s, but the modern backsplash, halogen lighting, and vintage accessories covering the light switch plates lend 2012 style.

3. A favorite trick of mine is to serve appetizers on an oversized, wooden pizza paddle. The more beat-up, the better. Serve some assorted cheeses, bowls of olives and crackers, and a bottle of wine, and your friends will think you are a caterer.

6. A new backsplash and stylish door hardware can update and add new life to the dreariest of kitchens. Don’t be afraid to pick a dramatically dark paint tone for the walls either—especially if your cabinets are white or cream.

4. Display “task-oriented” kitchen accessories in an artful way to add personality to your kitchen, and to disguise unsightly electrical outlets. Lean small artwork, trays, and chunky cutting boards against the backsplash and over the outlet. Cluster a small grouping of your favorite cookbooks and support them with a chunky ceramic storage jar. Hang wood strips with magnets to display your chef knifes.

7. Another inviting collection to display in the kitchen is an assortment of olive oil, vinegars, and salt and pepper grinders on a big tray. The tall bottles serve to disguise the electrical outlets, so buy some larger bottles to anchor the back of the grouping.

5. Be sure to light your glass front cabinets with small puck lighting, and use glass shelves so the light carries to the bottom of the cabinet. 18 | YourAtHomeNow.com

8. Buy two complimentary soap dispensers, in slightly different heights, to store hand and dishwashing soap. Place on a large tray with a small dish for the sponge, and your paper towels on a stand. By grouping everything together, the arrangement looks pulled together and deliberate.


homefront

Candles and antique architectural fragments add softness to this interesting blend of contemporary and traditional styles. The screen can be pushed open if the cook wishes to see the guests in the family room. Note also how the tile backsplash continues along the entire back wall to unify the breakfast room with the kitchen. The shelves in the same stain as the kitchen are an additional unifying element. The screen panels are shown open below:

9. Because kitchens can feel a little utilitarian—especially when the countertops are granite—add useful accessories that feel a little time-worn or antique. A rustic wooden fruit bowl is a must, and if you can find one that is rectilinear with multiple sections—even better. You can display lemons, healthy nuts for snacking, and granny smith apples in any kitchen style—whether contemporary or rustic. Shop the flea market for old canisters and jars, and use a few to display everyday snack items such as pretzels, crackers, and cookies. 10 .Every kitchen needs at least one candle to remove cooking odors. Space permitting, more candles can be housed in large hurricanes or clustered on a wooden cutting boards when entertaining. If you have a small space, display small votives in a row for maximum style—at least five ought to do it. And don’t wait for the holiday season to light the candles and dim the lights. Even a frozen-pizza Tuesday will look better by candlelight, and you will too. by Marc Thee

Go beyond de-cluttering with

sophisticated bathroom

24 | YourAtHomeNow.com


decoratingtrends

storage Look through any interior design magazine and you’ll notice one common theme across all the featured homes: a lack of clutter. No matter whether the style is minimalist or maximalist, in the most beautifully decorated homes in the world, you’re unlikely to see hairdryers and beauty products sitting out on the bathroom counter. You might think that it’s just a trick of styling for a photo shoot, but with the right storage solutions, clutter doesn’t need to be a part of any home’s decor. The first step to creating a magazine-ready, uncluttered room is to assess which items you need and which are taking up more space than necessary. If you have an abundance of lotions, soaps and shampoos in your bathroom, make a conscious effort to use them up, until you have just one of each. Make sure that your stash of gadgets isn’t too expansive, either. If you have extras that still work, they can easily be donated. Once you’ve gotten rid of the excess, look carefully at how you can make alterations to your current bathroom that will better suit your needs and fit the items you need to keep. One of the simplest ways to add extra style and improve the function of your bathroom is to add new cabinetry. And with the advances that have been made in storage solutions, you might be surprised how chic and efficient your

bathroom can become in just one step. The best design ideas are based on how people live, taking into account the mundane tasks people go through every day. For many women, styling their hair is something that must get done every morning, and along with that comes tools like hairdryers and curling irons. These tools also involve high temperatures and unruly cords. It makes sense to not want to put a hot hairdryer away in a drawer right after using it - it might damage your cabinet or worse, be a fire hazard. That’s why so many people end up leaving those items out on the counter, causing unsightly clutter. Some creative thinking on the part of cabinet designers might just make your morning routine a little less cluttered. Cabinets made of glass and metal can withstand those hot temperatures, making them ideal materials for bathroom cabinets and vanities. Models from cabinet maker Robern even include a dedicated hair dryer organizer with in-drawer electrical outlets and a place to keep cords neatly tucked away. Those who have small bathrooms - whether it’s a second bathroom or a space-compromised master - know the hassle of having to lean back to open and close a medicine cabinet door. One new innova-

tion from Robern, ideal for de-cluttering cramped spaces, is a medicine cabinet with seamless mirrored doors that slide up, rather than open out. Simply changing out your existing cabinet for these new models can make your bathroom infinitely more usable - not to mention the aesthetic boost it will get from the sleek glass-and-aluminum design. The new guard of smarter bathroom storage solutions makes it easy to update your bathroom quickly. Streamlined designs bring your room into the design-conscious 21st century without having to completely renovate. And with innovations like vertical sliding mirrors, cold storage bathroom cabinets, built-in nightlights and defoggers and segmented drawers for keeping everything straight, you’ll be able to cut clutter and create a stylish haven in a snap.

10 Tips To Ensure A Smooth Closing: (On Your New Home):

Be honest and upfront with the sales associate when writing your sales contract- If you have a lease, disclose when you have to be out of the lease. If you have some work to be done on your credit (maybe short-sale or bankruptcy) or if you are in the military (base housing, deployment) etc. This will help our team try to meet those critical dates as closely as possible. As the buyer and sales associate are finalizing the contracts- have the sales associate contact lender to do a credit analysis and send a pre-qualification letter.

making the process go smoother and is greatly appreciated!

Items Needed – On your first appointment with your loan officer, you will always need 1 month’s current paystubs, 2 month’s bank statements on all depository accounts and the last 2 year’s tax returns and W-2s. Also please bring a photo id and social security card. We will be happy to make copies for you.

Shop for Home Owners Insurance- Make sure to finalize on the home owners insurance two weeks prior and have the insurance company send the binder to you and the lender. (this is Gathering up Necessary Documents- Buyer should begin to especially important during storm season since most companies gather up documents that the lender will be requesting to expedit- will not allow a new policy to be established when there is an eyour loan underwriting process. These usually include docuactive storm) ments such as current paystubs, tax returns, bank statements, etc. Communicate with your sales agent and your lender on a (These will usually be checked again just prior to closing) weekly basis, checking on loan status, any changes, etc. Be Accurate In Your Loan Application - When your loan officer takes an initial application, it is very important to be as open and accurate as possible. If any information or figures are incorrect, they could be questioned by the underwriter later in the process. The more information your loan officer has to change or resubmit, the longer it will take to close your loan.

Respond Promptly To Requests For Additional Information – During the loan process, additional documentation may be required by the underwriter. Please know in advance that this is completely normal, and respond as promptly as possible to these requests. The quicker you can get needed documentation to your loan officer or processor, the quicker your loan can be underwritten and cleared for closing. Your cooperation is very helpful in 32 | YourAtHomeNow.com

Switching lenders- If Buyer decides to switch lenders for some reason please notify our closing coordinator at Adams Homes as soon as possible. They can assist you in either resolving issues with current lender or transitioning to different lender.

During The Loan Process DO NOTo Quit your job, change employers or make any changes that affect your income o Make any major purchases (furniture, vehicle, appliances, etc.) o Establish any new debt or credit accounts or close any open accounts o Be late on any payments o Make large deposits (over $500) to any bank account that cannot be verified on paper (no cash deposits). All money involved with the transaction has to be accounted for, most lenders will require the deposits to be “seasoned” for about 60-days.

GeT YoUR Home ReADY foR fAll With schools starting back and football season in gear, it’s a reminder that Fall is soon approaching. Now is the time to prepare your home for cold weather- before it gets here. These steps will lower your utility bills and protect your investment. Don’t have time to do these yourself? The Henderson Properties Maintenance Team is available to help you with these projects. Contact us at 704-970-4154. Tune Up Your Heating System For about $120 to $155, a technician will inspect your furnace or heat pump to be sure the system is clean and in good repair, and that it can achieve its manufacturer-rated efficiency. The inspection also measures carbon-monoxide leakage. If you act soon, you’ll minimize the chance of being 200th in line for repairs on the coldest day of the year. Hit the Roof Check out the roof or at least scan it closely with binoculars. Look for damaged, loose or missing shingles that may leak during winter’s storms or from melting snow. If need be, hire a Henderson handyman to repair a few shingles ($95 to $127, according to www.costhelper.com) or a roofer for a larger section ($100 to $350 for a 100-square-foot area). Check and repair breaks in the flashing seals around vent stacks and chimneys, too. If your roof is flat and surfaced with asphalt and pebbles, as many are in the Southwest, rake or blow off fall leaves and pine needles, which hold moisture, says Chris Dawalt, with Henderson Properties. (Don’t sweep aside the pebbles; that will expose the asphalt to damaging sunlight.) Caulk Around Windows and Doors Chris says that if the gaps between siding and window or door frames are bigger than the width of a nickel, you need

to reapply exterior caulk. Check the joints in window and door frames, too. Silicone caulk is best for exterior use because it won’t shrink and it’s impervious to the elements. Try GE’s Silicone II Window and Door product, which is “rain ready” in three hours. Add weather-stripping as needed around doors, making sure you cannot see any daylight from inside your home. Clean the Gutters If your gutters are full of debris, water can back up against the house and damage roofing, siding and wood trim — plus cause leaks and ice dams. You’ll typically pay $70 to $225 to clean gutters on a singlestory house, depending on its size. Also look for missing or damaged gutters and fascia boards and repair them. Test Your Sump Pump Slowly pour several gallons of water into the sump pit to see whether the pump turns on. You should do this every few months, but especially after a long dry season or before a rainy one. For more complete instructions for testing and maintenance, check your owner’s manual. Most sump pumps last about ten years, according to Chubb Personal Insurance.

Hollywood Producer Calls Charlotte Realtor®

It started as a regular day for Suzette Gray with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors®, following up with emails and taking calls from clients when she received an interesting call from a producer of Showtime’s popular “Homeland” series. “They inquired if my client would be interested in allowing their home to be used in an upcoming episode. After some discussion, it was agreed upon and this unique 9,960 square foot home located in the community of Ballantyne West will be seen in episode 6 of the third season this fall. Other homes in the area were considered, but this home had the right rooms, feel and flow that made it the best suited for their needs. When they walked in, they knew, much like when a homebuyer steps into a home and

industry news

knows it’s the one for them.” says Gray. The homeowner shared a story of their experience. The storyline of the episode involves terrorists occupying a house in a distressed community. To make it convincing, there were foreclosure, short sale and for sale signs placed in the front yard of each home in the neighborhood, something very out of character for the area. She received a call asking why neighbors who moved in only a few months earlier were selling their home. After explaining the situation, they both enjoyed a good laugh. As this home is actually for sale, now you can enjoy being a part of reality television, without all of the drama.

Green Living:

Two Easy Ways to Save Money and Energy Fall is at our door step, and soon you may feel the rush of cooler air coming in from your windows and doors. Before you think Holloween decorations..‌.caulk and weather strip, too! These two applications can save YOU money by saving energy. The caulk and weather strip originally put in your home will wear down and separate from settling; but here is a quick and easy way for you to fix it!

Caulking 101:

check the doors, window frames, vents, fans, cable and phone lines, outdoor water faucets, basically any area where different surfaces meet (foundation and walls, brick and wood, etc.). Clean the area and ready, point, shoot! Hold the tube or can at 45 degree angle, move continuously, seal it completely, and allow drying time.

Weather stripping 101:

choose a strip that seals well when the windows and doors are closed but allows you to open them without much effort. With windows, you should apply the stripping at the top and bottom of the window sash. For doors, you want to apply it around the frame or stop and at the bottom install a sweep, door shoe, or threshold. Remember to clean the area first and measure your strips a couple of times for accurate measurement. These two components of energy efficiency are affordable and effective. Once detected, air leaks from windows and doors can easily be fixed with caulking and weather stripping. Happy shooting and stripping! By: Stephanie Vaughn
