The right tools can simplify the painting process.

The right tools make a difference (BPT) - When planning to paint a room, most people spend countless hours selecting a color. Once that decision is made, they spend far less time selecting paint brushes and rollers. Many DIYers don’t consider that choosing the right applicators is just as important as selecting the right paint color. Here are a few tips to help you identify the right tools for the job and make your next painting project your best yet. You get what you pay for When selecting paint brushes and roller covers, don’t skimp on quality. A better-made brush is less likely to leave bristles and brush marks on your walls, ensuring you achieve a smoother, more professional-looking finish. A well-made brush may also cost a few dollars more, but can last over hundreds of painting jobs if taken care of correctly. Along the same lines, a cheap roller cover will leave lint on your walls embedded in the wet paint. If you leave the lint and let the paint set, you’ll definitely notice when the walls of your newly painted room look a bit fuzzy. You’ll save yourself hours of time and lots of frustration by selecting higher-grade applicators, such as Marathon roller covers from Purdy. Marathon leaves significantly less lint and is quite durable. One roller cover will last for your whole job and is great for painting larger rooms like a basement or garage. Break out the brushes Brushes are available in various sizes and for a variety of paints

and stains. The most common size for home painting projects is a 2 1/2-inch brush. If you are working on painting smaller details, like baseboards, look at using a smaller size. Next, consider the bristles. Stiffer, synthetic bristles work best with latex-based coatings, while softer, natural bristles are best for stains or oil-based products. There are also two styles of bristles - angled and flat. If working where the wall meets the ceiling, painting into corners or close to the trim, choose an angled brush. A flat brush is made to paint larger, level areas such as walls and doors. Rollout the rollers In addition to investing in a good brush, you’ll also need a quality roller cover for walls and other large areas. When selecting a roller cover, pay special attention to nap, fabric type and size. The thickness of the fabric - the nap - varies for each project type. The more texture you desire on the surface you are painting, the higher the nap should be. A 1/2-inch nap height is most common for use in the majority of homes, with nylon and polyester fabrics being the best for covering drywall. For an ultra-smooth finish, often desired in kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms, choose a 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch nap in a woven or microfiber fabric. In addition to fabric and nap options, covers are also available in a variety of sizes: 9-inch width covers work well for full room

The color of your home can have an impact your home’s value.

Color can add to a home’s value (BPT) - When it comes to designing a home - whether it’s new construction or a renovation - choosing beautiful exterior colors and complementary accent hues is critical to creating an appealing household. “To select the right colors for your home, view siding colors as an exterior project tool that both turns a home into a showpiece and increases its value,” says Leslie Harrington, executive director of The Color Association of the United States. Color and architecture trends vary from city to city across the United States. The homes and buildings within a neighborhood define its character and in some ways, culture. Before deciding on the best design, take into consideration the local geography and design trends. Here are four general recommendations to help a homeowner determine the best color choices for a home: • Location - Consider the neighborhood as a whole. Think about the next-door neighbor and the homes down the street. Regardless of the neighborhood, the streetscape - sizes and facades of homes, landscape architecture, balance of light and shade - plays a role in creating an idyllic neighborhood and affects the value of individual homes and communities, overall. The natural surroundings also play a significant part in color selection. For example, a green wooded area would blend better colors with earth tones than a home near the blues and grays of the ocean. • Color combinations - Selecting the right combination of colors for a home varies, but a good rule of thumb is to use three to six,

depending on the siding and trim of the home. A best practice is to avoid selecting more than two siding colors, one trim color and one accent color for features like doors and shutters. • Balance of color choices - A home’s visual balance can be disrupted by color hues that don’t mix or match. The eye is naturally drawn to light colors, so consider pairing a brighter, lighter garage door with a darker siding shade. Contractors, builders or remodelers can help guide homeowners on choosing multiple siding colors and trim hues that not only create a classic look for a home, but also help it blend in with its surrounding environment. • Color performance - A home is a reflection of the person and family in it. It’s also an investment. If exterior products are both functionally and aesthetically sound, they offer a greater curb appeal, which can also help with resale value when the time comes. James Hardie developed its proprietary ColorPlus Technology: a multi-coat, baked-on color application process that provides a vibrant, consistent finish for its fiber cement siding and trim. The finish has better fade resistance and superior adhesion compared to field-applied paints on other exterior siding materials. James Hardie fiber cement siding comes in more than 20 classic colors, with varying collections across the U.S. and Canada, that can be mixed and matched seamlessly to create beautiful homes and neighborhoods. From the primary color of the home, to the shades of the architectural details, a homeowner can create value with design using the tips above.

Kitchens have come along way over the last century.

Kitchens, baths have evolved (BPT) - Remember when brass fixtures and mauve countertops were all the rage in kitchen design? How about the days of shag carpet (yes, in the bathroom) and avocado tile? Fortunately, those particular trends have come and gone. And, whether you embraced them or not, they did have an influence on the space you live in right now. Take a look through the decades to see how decor styles have evolved into the modern kitchens and bathrooms of today. 1940s With World War II ending, the 1940s brought a need for housing that was met with the mass production of simple structures, like Cape Cods. These homes were small, so interiors were kept uncluttered to maximize the space. Kitchen design was all about being practical white cabinets helped homemakers spot dirt, while Linoleum flooring and metal countertops were durable and easy to clean. To add a pop of color in the kitchen, the ladies of this decade opted for bright floral wallpaper. As the popularity of television sets increased, Hollywood glamour became a big style inspiration. In the late 1940s, decor went from down-to-earth to over-the-top lavish, like the sets of movies featuring starlets Rita Hayworth and Ingrid Bergman, and homes began incorporating more lush furniture and bold colors with shiny silver, gold and copper accents. 1950s The 1950s marked an era that embraced the charm and fulfillment of the American Dream - think “Leave it to Beaver” and “I Love Lucy.” This decade spawned ranch-style floor plans, with wood paneling, brick fireplaces and maple furniture. According to Houzz, the colors of the 1950s epitomized the optimism of the decade and included pinks, mint greens, turquoise and creamy yellows - in both the home and the car. One room that show-

cased the joy of the era was the bathroom and the pastel pink sinks, toilets and tubs that came along with it. The 50s also introduced electric refrigerators, which were more efficient and streamlined than their predecessors - not to mention cheaper. Like most items, they were now available in colored finishes, enabling homeowners to customize their kitchen’s decor. 1960s Common elements of the “Mad Men” era included bold geometric patterns, in both upholstery and wall coverings, along with cut-velvet fabrics and modular furniture. Colors from this decade were rich, deep, psychedelic hues, such as acid orange and neon pink. In the kitchen, women found they had better things to do than stand over a hot stove and microwaves became a permanent fixture in homes across America. Women became hooked on the easy, processed foods promoted by ad execs like Don Draper. Why make a sauce when canned soup would work perfectly? Who needs fresh veggies when they already come frozen and seasoned? The 1960s were all about experimentation and instant gratification. Today’s home Fast forward to 2014, where decade-old design elements and materials that were once the height of fashion have reappeared in new and innovative ways. When it comes to decorating today’s homes, wallpaper is coming back to make a statement, adding texture and depth to living spaces. Geometric shapes and bright colors are also reappearing in home accents and furniture, just paired with neutrals for a more contemporary look. With urban areas gaining in popularity, the smaller kitchens of the past are making a comeback - only this time they’re packed with topof-the-line equipment including high-speed ovens, induction cooktops, built-in flat screen TVs and charging stations.

Make moving easier with careful planning and organzing.

Take the hassle out of moving (BPT) - Americans are on the move. More than 35 million Americans moved last year, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. While relocating to a new place is exciting, it also brings its own set of worries, with packing and unpacking topping the list of stressors. With careful planning and organizing, your move can be more celebratory than stressful - just follow these tips. Select super supplies It’s no secret that high-caliber products produce the best results, so be sure to select good quality supplies to save you hassle, time and money during the moving process. When it comes to your valuables and your memories, don’t take risks - start with new, clean and sturdy boxes rather than relying on old, reused boxes. Make sure you have a variety of sizes on-hand. When sealing boxes, something as simple - and frustrating - as losing the tape end on your packaging tape can waste time and cause unneeded stress. Choose a quality packaging tape, like Duck brand EZ Start packaging tape, which offers Frustration Free technology. This makes it easy to start with every use and ensures you never lose the tape end. EZ Start packaging tape is available in clear, as well as a variety of fun prints, meaning it’s also great for organizing. Use it

to color-code your boxes, assigning a different print to each room. Packing isn’t just about putting your belongings in boxes and heading on your way. Getting organized at both ends of your move will save you, and anyone helping you, time and hassle once everything arrives to its new destination. Before you pack, think about the must-have items you need to function on a daily basis to ensure you have them within reach. And, create a survival kit of items you’ll need for your first night - this way, you won’t be forced to unpack everything at once. On top of your physical belongings, don’t forget to organize the things that make your home and life function. Fill out change of address forms early, and keep track of any important bills or paperwork that can’t be lost. Know who to contact to turn off utilities at your old location and how to turn them on when you move into your new place. If you already know how you’d like furniture arranged at your new place, create diagrams and written instructions for those helping you unpack. Foresight here will help get your home looking “homey” much faster and prevent helpers from guessing where each item should go.

Your current shower may be fine, but why not make it fabulous?

Make your shower sing to you (BPT) - It’s where some of your best ideas are born, and where you unwind - or get ready - for the day. And although your current shower might be fine, why not make it fabulous? Here are the latest trends and products to create a fantastic shower experience. Update your showerhead and your style The average shower last about 13 minutes, according to Moen’s Consumer & Market Insights group. So many people suffer through a sub-par experience every day simply because their current showerhead is still in working order. Just because it isn’t broke, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fix it. Installing a new, invigorating showerhead is simple, and this project will leave a lasting impact on your daily routine. If you want to bring a comforting and refreshing “boost” to your daily shower experience, try the new Avira showerhead. Available exclusively at The Home Depot, Avira features Moen’s new HydroBoost technology, allowing for a superior and energizing shower while also helping to conserve water. Prefer a hand shower, instead? The Iso handheld shower lets you easily switch between six high-performance sprays with optimized pressure in each setting. With options ranging from massage to soft or forceful fullrinse sprays, you can create the shower of your dreams every day. Iso also features matching accessories that complement its soft modern feel. The perfect supplies Now that you have the right hardware, it’s time to stock the shower with the right supplies. Whether you long for shinier hair, smoother skin or a flawless face, you can find the perfect solution at a store near you to improve your daily routine. Keeping it clean Cleaning the shower is one of the most daunting tasks on your home’s to-do list, but it doesn’t have to be. Instead of a time-intensive scrub every week, daily maintenance is the secret to a

sparkling shower. Adding these simple steps to your routine - or alternating days with a significant other or roommate - will keep your space looking pristine. 1. Keep a dispensing dish wand in the shower filled with equal parts vinegar and dishwashing detergent. Quickly wipe down the walls and enclosure (whether it’s doors or a curtain) while you’re still in the shower. Plus, it’s easier to remember to clean when the tools are right there. 2. If you have shower doors, buy an inexpensive squeegee and use it every time you shower. The few seconds it takes you will dramatically reduce the amount of soap scum build-up on the glass, keeping it cleaner longer. 3. Always wipe down the countertop and mirror with an all-purpose wipe when you’re finished in the bathroom. You’ll not only remove any water spots or residue, you’ll also whisk away germs or bacteria, which helps to keep everyone in your household healthier.

Make sure your home is ready for your retirement.

Prepare your home for retirement (BPT) - When it’s time to retire, do baby boomers just sit back and watch life pass them by? Not anymore. Boomers are known for getting involved in their communities, enjoying the outdoors and starting new - or restarting older - hobbies. They also love spending time with family. This active lifestyle means boomers don’t want to take care of the large homes they lived in for years while raising children. In fact, they’re ready to downsize, and want to design their homes to be exactly what they need for their retirement years. Downsizing into a new home - one that can adapt to boomers’ changing needs as well as accommodate their occasional desire to entertain guests - is a great way to enjoy retirement in comfort and style. And with the customizable features available through Clayton Homes, they won’t regret downsizing at all. Boomers can choose these features in The Holland home model by Clayton Homes, specifically designed for the active boomer, and continue entertaining in these prime years. Consider the following customizable fea-

tures available in these homes: • Bragging wall - Every parent and grandparent loves to show off photos of their children and grandchildren. A wall designed specifically for hanging photos, awards and other proud mementoes gives parents and grandparents the perfect opportunity to share stories with visitors. • Handy but hidden entertainment - When friends and family come over, consider how efficient it is to have a built-in cabinet that flips open to serve as a beverage station. When visitors are not around, tucking the beverage station away into a designated place makes the home more open. Another customizable feature is a support column that acts as a wine storage cubby with a built-in bench beside it. • Accessible laundry - Placing laundry facilities close to the bedroom is great for baby boomers. The space doesn’t need to be large, but sometimes when a small space is designed for laundry, you lose out on those wonderful additional features, such as drying racks. Clayton Homes has alleviated this issue by installing pull-out hanging racks or

built-in storage above the machines and off the floor. • Bedroom luxury - Enjoy a home that segregates the master bedroom and bath from the entertaining areas of the home. One way to make this private space perfect is to install a beauty bar. It’s a vanity station in the bedroom with a large mirror and chair so one can comfortably prep for the day without constantly standing. • Fun space - Many retirees finally have the time to enjoy their hobbies to their full potential, and they’ll need to designate a space in their new home to accommodate the activity. Maybe they’re interested in physical fitness and need a place for equipment. Sometimes a craft room is required so the grandkids can come over and put their creativity to good use. Entertaining is an option, too, and having a separate room near the kitchen just for those planned gatherings might be exactly what is needed. By efficiently utilizing living space that is specifically designed for their use, boomers can enjoy their retirement years in a home that is built to suit their new active lifestyles.
