ROOM BY ROOM RENOVATIONS

When your home needs updating in multiple spaces, you may find yourself wondering where to begin. Prioritizing the rooms you use most and those in the greatest need of attention can allow you to work through your renovation at a reasonable pace while bringing greater enjoyment to your home one room at a time.

THERE’S NO RULE about where to start; it all comes down to your budget and how your family uses your home. The true beginning of any project is defining your vision for the finished space. These on-trend ideas can help you get started.

Multi-Purpose

Room Makeover

If you spend any time on social media, you know laundry and multi-purpose mudroom updates are popular. Having a well-organized, attractive workspace can make the less glamorous aspects of homeownership more appealing. Today’s mudrooms are more than a pass-through space. With thoughtful planning, you can create a more functional area for laundry, a drop area for book bags and other daily necessities and even grooming space for a pet or a potting area for an avid gardener.

With a space that gets used in so many ways, cabinetry plays an important role in keeping your cleaning equipment and belongings tidy and neat. You’ll be able to find shapes and sizes to fit practically any need you can imagine, like tall hideaways for brooms or gardening tools and low-profile options that can double as bench seating. If your footprint allows it, consider an

island for added storage and workspace.

Updated Kitchen

A stylish, functional kitchen is a must for anyone who enjoys culinary arts or the simple pleasure of gathering family or friends around the dinner table. Cabinetry is a focal point in most kitchens, so it’s an element that many homeowners give plenty of consideration. Today’s looks are commonly painted, and black is a surprisingly neutral option that can be adapted to numerous styles. Medium density fiberboard is ideal for painted cabinetry because it provides a smooth surface for even coating and stands up to the temperatures and humidity commonly found in the kitchen.

For a contemporary but classic look, try Wellborn Cabinet’s Hartford door finished in Onyx paint and dressed with bronze pulls and moulding for an attractive look from floor to (almost) ceiling. To create visual interest and contrast, take a different approach with your island, such as a Concord Maple door in Drift Slate finish. Don’t forget to give extra attention to what’s inside the cabinets, too. Options like adjustable slide-out shelving make it easy to access even more storage space.

Bathroom Refresh

Whether you’re breathing new life into an

outdated bathroom or converting unused space into a new one, practical design is essential. This is especially true if you’re working on a full bath with a smaller footprint where storage space is at a premium. While a powder room may not require much in the way of storage beyond space for extra rolls of toilet paper and hand towels, a full bath demands much more.

Using the right cabinetry for your vanity can create architectural detail that makes even this small space feel special. The clean lines of a Preston door style in medium density fiberboard is a practical and eye-pleasing option. To complement the vanity, consider built-in cabinets in the corner. This is a smart way to use square footage that might otherwise be wasted. For visual interest, match the cabinet door style to the vanity but in a complementary way. One on-trend example is a soft, creamy Gray Mist vanity paired with a rich Willow gray.

Make function a priority with deep drawer dividers, sliding shelves and other creative solutions, such as repurposing a silverware tray insert to organize your toiletry drawer.

Gelato!

Man cannot live on bonbons alone and that’s why we at the Tree decided to make our own gelato and sorbet from scratch, right here in Mequon. We understand that people may not know much about gelato, which is why we have decided to address some of the most frequently asked questions right here in Exclusively Yours

I’ve heard of gelato, but what’s the difference between gelato and ice cream?

A great question! Our gelato is made with whole milk, whereas ice cream is made with, you guessed it, heavy cream. This means that gelato is lower in fat which obviously means you can eat more.

Obviously. But what if I don’t eat dairy?

Well, it’s a good thing we make sorbet! In fact, we make two flavors of sorbet every week and I can guarantee that it’s dairy free because I make it myself.

But I want dairy-free gelato. Sure you do, which is why we make that too. Not every week, but once in a while. Can I request a flavor?

Of course! We can’t guarantee that we’ll make it, but there’s no harm in asking.

I’ve had your gelato- good stuff…HHHHH.

In fact, I’d like to have it at my party next week–is that possible?

Thanks! And to answer your question, yes it is! We can cater pans for your party, or bring a gelato case to your location and scoop it right before your very eyes. It’s a unique and fun way to serve up dessert for any occasion (and yes, YOU get to pick the flavors).

Well, I’m sold! How do I find out what flavors are featured each week?

Another great question! You can check out our Facebook page, visit our website, or give us a call during business hours. We make new flavors every week and have pints from previous weeks available for sale as well.

Those are the most frequently asked questions, but I’m sure there are more. Feel free to stop in and sample one of our flavors, ask a question, or just take a look at some of the many amazing macaron and chocolate treats we have available.

We look forward to meeting you at cocoa tree confectionery (and gelateria)!

ATTRACTINGHummingbirds

THROUGHOUT THE WARMER MONTHS, many backyards play host to a variety of birds, including hummingbirds. When you see flowers and trees begin to bud and bloom and other migrating birds, like warblers, that’s nature’s way of letting you know it’s time to ready your yard for hummingbirds.

n n n IT’S ENCHANTING WATCHING hummingbirds

–named for the humming sound of their fastflapping wings - as their tiny size and speed make them natural wonders. Hummingbirds can fly 2530 miles per hour, flapping their wings an estimated 70 times per second. They fly in every direction, even backwards, which only hummers can do, and float majestically in midair.

The birds get their brilliant color from the iridescence in the arrangement of their feathers, not color pigment. Plus, they have the fastest metabolism of any animal on Earth, burning 1-2 times their body weight in food daily. Hummingbirds draw nectar from its source into their mouths, lapping it up almost 12 times per second.

To increase your chances of observing these petite powerhouses at home, consider these tips from the experts at Cole’s Wild Bird Products:

Be conscious of beneficial insects. Hummingbirds rely on insects, which provide essential protein, to complement the nectar they crave. To attract insects, try placing rotting fruit near feeders and leave it until insects arrive for hummers’ easy eats.

Leave spiderwebs alone: Hummingbirds use spiderwebs as construction material to hold their nests together and pluck insects caught in the webbing.

Offer a water mister: Hummingbirds adore bathing; a mister gives them the fine spray they prefer. Once soaked, they’re off to find a preening perch.

Provide tiny perches. Leave small, sturdy, bare branches for hummingbirds, to perch on for rest, preening and hunting. Perches provide vantage points to see danger and launching pads to swiftly

Hummingbirds n n n

pounce on insects. Once hummingbirds find a favorite perch, they’ll use it repeatedly.

Hang hummingbird feeders first. Feeders are one of the most effective ways to consistently entice and encourage hummingbirds to come visit. However, not all feeders are created equal. For example, Cole’s Hummer High Rise Feeder is scientifically designed with elevated perches to make hummingbirds feel safe and comfortable, which encourages their consistent return.

Although hummingbird feeders can attract bees and ants, this feeder is uniquely designed to keep pests at bay. It doesn’t drip, so large bees can’t get to the nectar, plus it has a built-in ant moat to keep ants away from nectar when filled with plain water. Since birds drink from the moat, never use any repellents or additives.

Hummingbirds have memories like elephants; once they discover your hummer-friendly habitat, they’ll come back every year

Hummingbirds are territorial and not likely to share feeders, so hang multiple feeders far enough apart to attract more birds. To ensure a steady stream of birds, hang feeders in the shade to avoid fermentation of sugar-based liquids, check feeders bi-weekly to keep food fresh and clean feeders as needed with one part white vinegar to four parts water.

Plant flowers. Trumpet honeysuckle, bee balm and sage plants are particularly attractive to hummingbirds and provide rich nectar. Hummingbirds consume 1 1/2 times their body weight daily, eating every 10-15 minutes and visiting 1,000-2,000 flowers per day.

Choose the right nectar. Not all nectar is alike, and hummingbirds can taste the difference. Almost all commercial nectars contain one sugar source - sucrose - because it’s cheaper to make. However, real flower nectar contains three sugar sources - sucrose, fructose and glucose - in varying amounts depending on the flower.

Researched and designed to attract the greatest variety of hummingbirds, Cole’s Nature’s Garden is a high energy, nutrient-rich nectar that combines all three types of organically sourced sugars North American hummingbirds love, with a spring water base. It closely mimics the sugar ratios they favor and provides a healthier, nutritious, all-natural alternative to table sugar.

Don’t forget, hummingbirds have memories like elephants; once they discover your hummer-friendly habitat, they’ll come back every year if there’s a reliable food source. Learn more at coleswildbird.com. n

ESTATE SALE SPECIALISTS

IS THE TURMOIL of the outside world proving destructive to your peace of mind? Do you long to retreat to some quiet spot where the low key, high key, or off-key preelection promises of presidential candidates can’t irritate you, where the tragic plight of warring nations can’t disturb you, where the crime brought so vividly into your living room by television can’t frighten you?

Are the members of your family at constant odds over seemingly insignificant incidents? Do you wonder how to bring peace and happiness into your household despite the nervous strain of today’s unnatural pace?

There is an answer if you choose to make the effort. It is to recognize consciously each morning when you awake that right where you are is God, and not only that, but right at this moment and for all the moments of the day, the Presence and Power of God, that one Infinite Consciousness, are filling your household.

Remember, there were others who made promises thousands of years ago, promises that can really take us into the promised land. The great prophet Isaiah, in an inspiring song of thanksgiving, tells us: “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” The promise, however, makes its own demand of us—a conscious

effort to keep our mind on “thee,” the presence and power of the Father within. Surely thousands of distraught souls have found comfort in that promise.

Again, Isaiah expects us to turn away from the disturbing external picture, to turn to trust in God and believe “in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” If we would find peace and happiness in our households, must we not completely surrender belief in outside powers, and sit quietly in the realization that all power is in the presence of the Father within? Must we not remember “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint?”

There is comfort in the knowledge that “the Lord’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear.” What is required of us is that we relax in a certainty that nothing can separate us from the Father within and that these comforting promises of Isaiah can become truth to us. We take them into our consciousness, and gradually we are able to bring back into our experience the peace and love that had eluded us. Let us never forget that all power is in God and our at-oneness with Him. And that truth governs not only our households but our nation as well. n
