spring and summer.

RooF iNspectioN Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and winter. As a result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone. But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage.

Leaky roofs can be easily identified by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. once you see a stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fix it before winter rains and snowfall turn the problem into something much larger. inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any leaks immediately.

GutteR cLeANiNG While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home. in addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters.

Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below. standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. if the gutters are clear when you first examine them in early fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them a complete and thorough cleaning. once you have finished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to confirm everything is

functioning properly.

WiNdoW ANd dooRWAy iNspectioN Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter. cold air can enter a home through cracks around windows and doorways, and many homeowners who don’t suspect leaks may respond by turning up the thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expensive over a full winter. choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. if you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible. pAtio cLeANup patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed. preparing for fall home improvement projects ahead of time can help homeowners complete projects in a timely manner and ensures they won’t be forced to brave the winter elements when refurbishing their homes.

Homeowners know that maintaining a home can be a year-round job. No home is immune to wear and tear, and homeowners who want to protect their real estate investments should try to stay two steps ahead to ensure their homes do not succumb to the elements or become outdated and unappealing to prospective buyers.

Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning Autumn is a great time to inspect patios their next projects. The following are a that might have endured some wear and few items homeowners can add to their tear during the heavy usage seasons of fall home improvement to-do lists.

Hello again, terracotta!

In Italian, the word terracotta means “earthenware.” This natural material is used to make all kinds of timeless and elegant pieces, often by hand. In 2017, terracotta-tiled floors and walls are making a major comeback, as are terracotta pots, plates, sculptures, cups and frames, among other home accessories.

To conclude, did you know that terracotta isn’t always reddish brown? In fact, depending on the type of clay used, terracotta can be beige, white or even grey!

How to add a touch of steampunk to your home Steampunk refers first and foremost to a genre of literary fiction. In these stories, plots are usually set in an alternate, post-apocalyptic 19th century — an era marked by the Industrial Revolution and the invention of steam-powered machinery. Today, the steampunk aesthetic has made its way into the realms of cinema, fashion, video games and, of course, interior design.

Would you like to add a retro touch to your living space?

Visit your local antique shops and interior decoration stores to track down some unique items reminiscent of the neoVictorian style known as steampunk. Keep your eyes peeled for: • Clocks with exposed gears • Furniture padded with velvet or dark brown leather • Paintings displaying 19th-century-inspired designs (portraits, blimps, locomotives, etc.)

• Antique globes and maps • Old-fashioned hats and accessories (top hats, aviators, etc.)

• Navigational tools and astronomical instruments (telescopes, astrolabes, compasses, etc.)

• Old books and encyclopedias • Animal bones and taxidermy (real or faux!)

Want to know more about this intriguing trend? The web is chock-full of inspiring ideas for creating a retro-futuristic home worthy of the extraordinary tales of Jules Verne or H. G. Wells!

The kitchen Apply chalkboard paint to the walls, the refrigerator or the pantry. Feel free to write out the week’s dinner menu, your grocery list, a delicious recipe or an inspiring quote!

Varied textures To create a cozy nest, opt for throw pillows made of felt, faux fur or wool. Natural fabrics like linen and cotton are equally suitable. Furthermore, choose hardwood furniture and accessories to create a look that’s 100 percent authentic. When it comes to your walls and floors, don’t hesitate to mix concrete, wood and stone. Finally, pattern-wise, plaid and jacquard are perfect for achieving that cozy cottage feel.

Warm colors For a soft, soothing atmosphere that will make your home more inviting, opt for neutral shades inspired by nature. Prioritize muted tones like white, beige, light grey, pewter or even black for your walls, accessories and furniture. Additionally, consider including hints of forest green, burnt orange or dark red to add depth to your décor.

Soft lighting Indirect lighting—fixtures that direct light upward to bounce off the walls and ceiling (e.g. sconces)—is the key to achieving a cozy ambiance reminiscent of faraway ski chalets.

Make sure you install dimmers to be able to adjust the brightness of the room to your liking. You can also add multiple candles—opt for fragrant varieties that smell like pine, cranberry or pumpkin, for example—and scatter strings of lights around your fireplace or windows to bring a festive touch to your interior

Choosing the right sideboard for your dining area

A sideboard, or buffet, is a practical piece of furniture used to store or display cutlery, glasses, utensils, tablecloths, etc.

Are you on the hunt for the perfect sideboard? Since this type of cabinet often becomes a dining room’s focal point, you need to make a wise choice that takes into consideration your needs and, of course, your style preferences.

options are truly limitless! Visit a specialty retailer or an antique shop in your area to find the perfect sideboard for your needs that complements the design of your dining room.

Size First and foremost, your buffet must be the right size for your dining area. Avoid buying anything too big if you have limited room. The opposite is equally true: a small sideboard will look lost in a larger space.

Configuration Do you intend to store delicate chinaware or decorative objects in your sideboard? In that case, an open model, or one with glass doors, is your best bet. However, if the items you wish to store are more or less appropriate for display, choose a buffet with solid doors or frosted windows instead.

Style Finally, when it comes to the appearance of your buffet, your

Are country acreages affordable these days?

The days of truly cheap rural properties are pretty much a thing of the past. But if you’re a city and suburb dweller who dreams of moving to a calmer, simpler place in the country, don’t lose heart just yet. If you have some flexibility about when you buy and how you use the property, your dream may still be more affordable than you think.

Get to know the right people. Before you quit your job in the city, talk to some realtors in the rural or semi-rural areas that interest you. Many rural property owners already have buyers in mind when they decide to sell, but getting an “in” with a local realtor is the next best way to get your foot in the door.

Transition. If you are ready to quit the city but haven’t yet found some land to buy, consider renting. As you join local organizations and get to know people, you can advertise your desire to buy some acres. Take your time and visit many properties before you buy; in the meantime, the local realtor will have a list of rental homes for you to consider.

Scale back. If your dream is to have a horse farm or to live self-sufficiently, you may have to begin with a simpler plan. Horses and pastured livestock require a lot of acres, and the initial layout for solar power or wind power is costly. If you have to, start off with an acre, or buy a home in a semi-rural town. Either will get you away from the city traffic madness and save your sanity.

Buying a rental property There are many reasons why you might want to buy a rental property.

For starters, if you have several properties, it can be a way to create passive income; it can also be a good way to diversify your investment portfolio.

Depending on what kind of investor you are, there are two routes you can take: risky or less risky. Either way, you’ll need a savvy realtor to help you make the wisest choice possible.

LOW risK If your goal is long-term security, your realtor can help you find a rental property at market price. There are a handful of solid options available to you, including a house where you can live and where there is a separate apartment you can rent out; a multi-residential building with several units or a single-dwelling house.

The advantages: at market price, you’re more likely to find a well-kept proper-

ty with existing tenants in a reputable neighborhood. The disadvantages: you might not see stellar returns from month to month. Just be sure your rental income covers all maintenance costs and allows you to pad a savings account for unforeseeable expenses.

HiGHEr risK If you’re prepared to spend time searching for a bargain, your realtor can help you find a property that is underpriced and that will bring you good returns. This might include a luxury home or a property that needs extensive renovations.

Ifyou’rebusyanddon’twanttobebothered with the mundane tasks associated with being a landlord, ask your realtor about property management services.

Your realtor may be able to manage all leasing, rent collecting and maintenance on your behalf.

3. Needs. Do you want a coffee maker designed to brew one or several cups of coffee at a time? Would you like a machine that you can program with your smartphone to have a steaming cup ready when you wake up? What about being able to adjust the brewing strength according to your preference? And will you need to keep the same pot of coffee hot for extended lengths of time? Think about it!

Have you heard of string art?

PAGE A13  Friday, October 6, 2017

1. Budget. Determine the amount of money that you’re willing to spend on your new appliance.

Consider energy consumption, the price of the machine, extra costs (e.g. coffee filters) and, of course, the coffee itself. To help guide your decision, base your budget on the price of a single cup of joe. Ideally, a coffee brewed at home should cost less than a cup of the same quality brew from a coffee shop.

2. Brand. Invest in a reputable brand of coffee maker, and purchase it from a well-established appliance store. In the event of a problem, the repair, reimbursement or exchange process will be a lot simpler and quicker!



Is coffee an integral part of your morning routine?

Then it’s in your best interest to invest in a quality coffee maker!

Here are six things to keep in mind when it comes to finding the best model for your needs:

4. Maintenance. Replacing water filters and cleaning the different parts of your machine (compartments, reservoirs, etc.) can be tedious and time consuming. Certain models are very easy to maintain, whereas others require a little more effort — like coffee makers with a glossy finish that makes fingerprints and smudges stand out. Do your research before settling on a model.

5. Space. To avoid having to return a coffee maker that was too big for your kitchen, take note of the exact measurements of the space where you intend to keep it before you head to the store.

6. Style. Coffee makers — especially high-end models — are available in different designs and finishes to suit every homeowner’s needs and style preferences. Large or compact, shiny or matte, bright red or classic black, modern or retro — make your choice according to your kitchen’s existing décor for best results.

Protect your furniture with tempered glass Does the idea of your beautiful wood dining table getting scratched or stained give you nightmares? Not to worry! Here are a few ways to keep your precious piece of furniture in pristine condition: 1. Eliminate coffee, red wine, beets, strawberries, curry and anything else that tends to stain from your diet.

2. Lay down several thick

waterproof tablecloths before each meal.

3. Prohibit your guests from using forks and knives (only bare hands and spoons are tolerated).

4. Protect the table’s surface with an elegant, custom-made sheet of tempered glass, and enjoy life to the fullest!

All jokes aside, the fourth option is obviously the most efficient way to protect the surface of your furniture (tables, desks, dressers, etc.) from scratches, dents, stains and streaks.

A trAnspArent shield Tempered glass is manufactured in a way that makes it nearly impossible to chip, crack or shatter. Therefore, carefully polished made-tomeasure tempered glass panels add a sophisticated and modern touch to furniture while protecting it from harm.

Why hire a kitchen designer?

Whether you’d like to create a functional and elegant kitchen from the ground up or renovate your existing one so that it better meets your current needs, enlist the help of a kitchen designer. This renovation expert has more than one trick up his or her sleeve!

Kitchen designers are creative and detail-oriented professionals with extensive knowledge of various industries and trades, including architecture, woodworking, plumbing, carpentry, electricity, masonry and, of course, interior design.

Thanks to the expertise of these talented individuals, you’re guaranteed a beautiful and functional kitchen tailored to your specific needs and style preferences.

How to choose the ideal coffee maker

Not sure what string art is, exactly? This increasingly popular art form consists of intricate designs made from interwoven strings held down with nails or pins. Requiring a great deal of patience and care, this technique is much adored by DIY enthusiasts who love to create their own quirky, poetic, abstract, typographic or geometric designs.

Look up “string art” in any image search engine (or head over to Pinterest) to discover a dizzying array of inspiring project ideas! Feel like giving string art a shot? You can find everything you need to create your masterpiece at your local craft shop or hardware store.
