(Family Features) Ever envy those beautiful homes that seem to get redecorated with every new season? The latest and greatest looks are easy to incorporate if you keep your furnishings neutral and the decor uncluttered. From there, it's just a matter of bringing in a few simple touches that create a big impact. Start with one or two easy projects and you will quickly transform your house into a place you're proud to call home. 1. Transform With Paint - Every interior designer will tell you the quickest way to transform a home is with a fresh coat of paint. Greet guests with a beautiful new door color. It will give your entire home a facelift with very little time and effort. 2. Warm Things Up - The look of hardwood brings warmth to every room in the house. Even kitchen and bathroom spaces can benefit from the addition of wood-look tiles, such as Forest Park from Daltile (www.daltile.com), which are easy to clean, water resistant, and durable, but with the beauty and ambiance of traditional hardwood. Throw rugs are a great way to accent a wood-look floor and are easy to swap out with the change of season or style. 3. Keep it Clean - Kitchens are prime gathering places and just keeping them clean and uncluttered will transform the look and feel of an entire house. Leave just one or two appliances on the countertops, add fresh flowers and hang a pair of colorful kitchen towels to brighten the space. 4. Make a Space Pop - Add a pop of color and texture with new tile, such as American Olean's Garden Oasis featuring Oceanside Glass Tile. The tiles, which can be seen at www.americanolean.com, come in various shapes, sizes, colors and patterns, so you can

easily show off your own creative style anywhere. 5. Throw on Some Pillows - Filling a room with furnishings in neutral shades is actually the simplest way to embrace new decorating trends. Give a monochromatic room an instant makeover with pillows, artwork and tchotchkes. It's an inexpensive way to change things up whenever the mood strikes. 6. Be Neighborly - Even if you only have room for a small pot of flowers, make your front porch welcoming. If possible, set out some chairs for neighborly chats, place a small table between for refreshments and add plenty of cushions for comfort. 7. Let There Be Light - Instantly change the look and feel of a room just by changing the lighting. Simply change your bulbs to one offering more natural light or swap out the entire light fixture for instant beauty. Whether you update one room or transform your entire house, these simple changes will turn your home into a sanctuary that truly reflects your own personal style.

tions. The prime time for these inspections is in the spring and fall. Take the time to give your house a thorough review. Start by walking the perimeter of your property to see if there is any rotting wood, mold, loose gutters or shingles. Then check for any cracks that have settled or work that could be done to siding, roofing or windows. Inspect the bathroom and kitchen for loose or missing tiles and leaks in sinks and faucets. Ensure that appliances are working at maximum capacity.

(StatePoint) In cool weather, wise homeowners will take steps to ensure their homes are well-prepared. There are a number of ways you can keep your home comfortable and your energy bills in check all season. Is your heating equipment working optimally or are you wasting energy and paying more than you should? It is estimated that nearly half of all heating and cooling equipment in U.S. homes never performs to its advertised capacity and efficiency due to incorrect installation, according to U.S. government statistics. And if you have an older system that was built before current efficiency standards, you could be spending more than needed on heating your home. If you need to replace your system, be sure to have it properly installed by an HVACR professional, certified by North American Technician Excellence (NATE), the nation’s largest independent, nonprofit certification body for HVACR technicians. NATE-certified technicians are skilled professionals who have proven their knowledge in the HVACR industry by passing specialized certification tests. Beyond having an efficient heating system properly installed, there are several other steps you can take to make your home cool-weather friendly: • Clean heating filters. Check them every couple of weeks and change them at least twice in the season, or as directed by the manufacturer. • Check and maintain insulation. Improperly insulated walls, floors, attics, basements and crawlspaces drain away heat and can also lead to moisture imbalance. Adding weather stripping and caulk around windows and doors can also improve a home’s insulation. • Turn down the thermostat or install a programmable thermostat to regulate temperature. • Clean the furnace area. Don’t keep

Consider a programmable thermostat with a mobile app.

chemicals or cleaning products near a heater, and don’t store anything next to it that could impede ventilation. • Keep vents and returns free of obstructions. Don’t lay carpet over vents, place furniture over or in front of them, or obstruct the flow of air. • Dry air feels cooler than moist air, so install a humidifier. A simple humidifier may make the home feel five degrees warmer than a home with dry air. • Look into geothermal heating systems. By using the earth`s natural heat, these systems are among the most efficient and

energy-conserving heating and cooling technologies currently available. • Have your system serviced regularly for optimal performance. To avoid poor service and scams, be sure to hire an HVACR professional certified by NATE. To find a qualified local contractor who employs certified technicians, look for the NATE logo or go to HVACRAdvice.com. By making sure your heating system is operating efficiently and by adopting a few energy-friendly habits, you can maintain a warm, comfortable home while keeping heating costs down.

Does Your House Have What Homebuyers Are Looking For?

COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078...January 1, 2004....Phone26, 694-9431 COMMUNITY SHOPPERS GUIDE...OTSEGO, MI 49078....Fall Projects Section...October 2013 ....Phone 694-9431

Homeowners want quality and beauty in their doors and entryways. (StatePoint) Whether your home is on the market, or you plan to sell one day, knowing homebuyers’ preferences can help you make smart upgrades that will increase your home’s value and offer a great return on investment. Luckily, a 2012 survey by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) is giving savvy homeowners a clear look at what

potential buyers are looking for. Here are a few insights: Windows - When it comes to windows, energy efficiency is the prime consideration for consumers. ENERGY STAR rated windows, triple-pane insulating glass windows, and Low-E insulating glass windows are the three top “must haves� and “desirable� types of windows among new and potential home-

buyers, according to the NAHB survey. With that in mind, when replacing your home’s windows, you’d be wise to look for those from an ENERGY STAR partner that’s committed to meeting the strict criteria of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For example, Simonton Windows has developed glass packages for each climate zone - Northern, North Central, South-Central and Southern -- which utilize insulating glass units to drastically reduce the transfer of heat and cold, as well as block ultraviolet rays. As far as materials are concerned, opting for lower maintenance vinyl frames is a good bet, as survey results from the study also show that vinyl framed windows are the leading preference for homebuyers for their low-maintenance features, durability and great insulating factors. More information about ENERGY STAR qualified vinyl windows can be found at www.simonton.com/energystar. Storage - Homebuyers want great storage features, like laundry rooms, linen closets, garage storage and walk-in pantries, says the NAHB survey. If you don’t have these features or the budget to knock down walls or build additions, you can at least make the most of the storage you do have. Get organized and use easy-to-install closet systems that fit into

your existing closets. Doing so will put your home in the best light possible. Entry Doors - Homebuyers want quality and beauty in their doors and entryways, according to the NAHB study, and fiberglass doors are gaining popularity. It’s no wonder, since the door is the first thing anyone sees when entering a home and fiberglass doors are durable as well as aesthetically pleasing. With quality in mind, consider selecting a door with a complete system of components engineered to work together and sourced from the same manufacturer. A door system designed to work together for lasting performance, security and energy efficiency, such as Therma-Tru fiberglass doors, can withstand severe weather conditions along with day-to-day family activity. They also provide the home with strong protection from air and water infiltration. Don’t forget to add some beauty and detail to your entry door. Request decorative, clear or privacy doorlites and sidelites to reflect the personality and style of your home. More information about updating your entry doors can be found at www.ThermaTru.com. Don’t make home upgrades blindly. By taking the pulse of homebuyers, you can ensure you get a great return on your investments.

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) or massive heart attack is one of the leading causes of death. It is not uncommon for SCA on golf courses. Defibrillation shock can be an effective treatment and timing is everything. e chances for survival of an SCA victim decreases 10% for every minute that passes. Use of an AED, along with other measures can save a life.

“Our Wonderful Community A Personal Testimony”

Grandma Jo and I dreamed of the day we would live in our own home and in a location of our own choosing. That happened five years ago. We started visiting Otsego when our grandchildren were very young, following them in their various activities. The more we visited, the more we began to experience that “at home” feeling. We considered Otsego to be a Hallmark – family friendly kind of town…a place where people care. Dedicated & effective city leadership, excellent schools, strong businesses and great churches make this a fine place to live. We are now a Main Street community which is something to be proud of. Let me be quick to add there are other nice communities in our area which are equally deserving of praise and gratitude. One example of the spirit of Otsego was seen on a recent sunny Saturday when thousands flooded our city for simultaneous activities: • Creative Arts Festival • Rotary sponsored 5k run • Bulldog Cross Country Invite • Band Festival • Soccer

We have many fine churches in our community. If you do not have a church home, why not visit us this Sunday in a church where Jesus’ love is lived? “Come to work, come to play, and come to stay” and come to worship! Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to let Your light shine in our lives and in our community. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Rev. Dan Minor, Pastoral friend and colleague of Rev. Joe Shaler Sponsored In Part by:
