THE PROS AND CONS OF BOLD COLORS
By Tim Carter
DIstandard
the home three years before, and Dr. Larsen and his wife trusted me. Little did they know, I had no clue how to build the three simple walls needed for the small new bathroom.
've had the distinct pleasure of attending numerous editors' conferences over the years sponsored by different manufacturers. I've toured plants that heat-treat hand tools and factories that make everything from saw blades to small engines, to name a few. Each experience is like Christmas morning to me because I got to see new tools and products of my trade.
o you want to build a new wall inside your home? Perhaps you're trying to create a new small space for a home office or hobby room, or maybe you have a bigger appetite and are transforming a dank basement into a finished living space. But you have no idea where to start. I've been there. I've experienced your anxiety.
One of the most fascinating tours was of a paint factory on the West Coast. We got to see the early stages of making a batch of interior paint. I believe the size of the vat was at least 5,000 gallons, but it could have been as much as 10,000 gallons. You need a massive metal stirring paddle to blend all the ingredients. Forget about using a wood stick!
Every now and then it's interesting to go back in time. I clearly remember having to build my firstpartition wall insidea house. I was a soaking wet-behind-theears carpenter working for a small remodeling company. One of my college professors, Dr. Larsen, had asked me to install a half bathroom in his home. I had no idea what to do, so I told him that my boss could do the job.
The most interesting part of the tour for me was the session spent with the on-staff color expert. She explained all the nuances of color, how the slightest shades of color can affect how you feel – indeed, how certain colors can deeply affect your mood.
Once the simple plans were drawn and the contract signed, I was sentto my professor's houseto start the job. I had painted the outside of
If you have toured any open houses recently, you have almost certainly noticed the mania for gray paint. It's rare to find a house that doesn't have at leas one interior room done up in a shade of gray. Visit an art museum and you might not even notice that the walls are often painted gray. It's an interesting color that actually is the absence of color. It makes sense in an art museum: The walls are the background and shouldn't compete with the paintings and photographs. Gray is most often created mixing pure white paint with some amount of black pigment. When most people think about color, they tend to think about every other color in the rainbow other than white or black. Gray provides a very interesting background for all other colors you might put in the rooms of your home just as it does in a museum. That being said, you may be like my
I survived with the help of a few phone calls to my boss. It was a humbling experience as I discovered you don't know what
You can't always do this in an existing home, especially if the ceilings in the room are finished with drywall or plaster. As you tilt the wall up, it binds against the ceiling. If you're challenged by a finished ceiling, you'll most likely have to install your top and bottom plates, making sure the plates are

son. He bought a new home that came on the market last spring. The builder had already painted all the rooms a medium gray for the aforementioned reason. Yet when I toured the house with my son, he said: "Dad, what the heck? I don't want to wake up each day thinking I'm a sailor on a battleship. It's just way too much gray! How hard would it be to paint the rooms over?"
you don't know. Keep in mind this was decades before the Internet and YouTube. You have no idea what an advantage you now have when you have to educate yourself about how to repair and build things around your home. Count your blessings!
I recommend that if you're on the fence as to what colors to use in your home, simply buy a quart and paint one wall.
Building a new interior wall in an existing housecan bemuch different from doing it on a new home job site. When we carpenters build a wall for a new home, we typically build itflaton thefloor. Onceall the studs are nailed to the bottom and top plates, we tilt the wall up and secure it so it doesn't fall over.
I answered him that we could easily repaint half the rooms in the twobedroom house in just three days. I told him it depended on the colors he'd choose, as some lighter colors such as yellow might require two coats.
He decided he wanted to do an experiment and go with some very bold colors. I thought he was making a mistake. His mother and I both warned him that a color on a small strip of paper from the paint store may look much darker once that color is on the wall. This happens because there's just so much color hitting your eyes than when you're looking at a sample that's 2 inches wide and maybe 3/4-inch tall.
"Dad, paint isn't that expensive," he said, "and since you're helping and it doesn't take long I can always repaint the room."
Oh, how convenient that your dad can help you for the price of a free lunch! If you have children, I'm sure you've been conscripted to help with projects. To be honest, I loved working on his house.
Don't opening you My your it at rough measurements
plumb in the same plane. You'll then cut each wall stud to fit snugly between the plates and toenail them in place. Drill angled pilot holes in the ends of the wall studs for the nails. Use no less than 3-inch-long 16d sinker nails to connect the wall studs to the plates.
The first room we painted was his living room. He chose a deep blue color. When I opened the can, I gasped as quietly as I could, thinking it was a huge mistake. The gray wall color happened to be a superb base, and the blue covered it in one coat with ease. It was a bright, sunny spring day, and, much to my surprise, after the first wall was finished it looked amazing. I had thought it would make the room appear too small, but I didn't get that feeling. The other benefit to blue is that it's a calming color.
If there is no ceiling, you can tilt the wall up so long as you orient the wall in the same direction as thefloor joists above. You simply make sure the top of the wall rises up in between two parallel floor joists. Once the wall is vertical, you can then slide it into position under
The kitchen was painted a stunning yellow much like a sunflower, the dining room was transformed using a deep spicy reddish brown, and his rear sunroom was coated with a stunning medium green.
After we were finished, I had to his admit that the bold colors in t open-concept house not only looked spectacular, but they also didn't clash. Once he started to hang paintings and fabrics on the wall, the colors looked even better.
I recommend that if you're on the fence as to what colors to use in your home, simply buy a quart and paint one wall. Understand that the color may look somewhat different at night than it does in the day. Experiment with flat paint vs. semi-gloss. You may find that makes a difference. No matter what, i f you don't like the color, you can repaint a typical room in just hours.
Be brave! Try a bold color or two and you'll avoid that feeling that you're swabbing decks on a battleship when you mop your kitchen floor!

HOW TO FIND A HOME REPAIR SERVICE
Ahome is the biggest purchase most of us will ever make. Protect your investment by taking care of repairs quickly and properly. When you have a routine maintenance problem that you don’t have the time or skills to tackle, a home-repair or handyman service can help. These services are generally less expensive and faster than general contractors, who often focus on topdollar gigs like home building and remodeling.
It can be scary to invite a person or crew into your home to do work, especially if you won’t always be around to keep a watchful eye. It’s important to find a home repair service you can trust to provide prompt and quality work. Whether your project is as small as painting one room or as big as rewiring your whole home, follow these steps before hiring anyone.
Get written estimates.
Finally, get written estimates (these should be free) from a few companies before choosing one. Be sure the companies are bidding the same specs for the project so you can compare apples to apples. While reasonable pricing is important, going with the lowest price isn’t always the best bet. A poor repair job will cost twice as much when you must pay to fix mistakes. When working with a new-to-you repair person, particularly someone who doesn’t come with recommendations from people you know well, you might want to give him or her a test run on a small project.
Talk to friends and neighbors.
First, ask neighbors and friends for recommendations, preferably for someone with whom they have a positive, ongoing relationship. If that doesn’t net results, check peer-review sites, such as Yelp or Angi, or do an online search for “home repair” or “handyman services.” Make a list of at least three companies, and call the Better Business Bureau to see if complaints have been filed against any of them.
Ask for references.
Next, ask the candidates for references. Ask these customers if they felt the service provider was prompt, courteous, professional, affordable, fair and trustworthy. Ask to see photos so you can judge the quality of the work. It’s best to interview customers who hired the contractor for a project similar to the work you need.
Outline your agreement clearly.
Hire only a repair service or handyman who is insured, bonded and licensed or knowledgeable in the type of repairs you need. Before they begin even a small job, get a written contract that outlines the terms of your agreement, including timeline, fees and warranties. Without this step, you’ll have a much harder time recovering your expenses if the handyman doesn’t deliver as promised.

SIMPLE TRICKS TO MAKE YOUR BATHROOM FEEL LIKE A SPA
Atrip to the spa leaves you feeling relaxed, pampered and rejuvenated. The experience centers on a serene environment that's carefully designed to help you unwind and escape, and you can easily re-create that soothing atmosphere at home in your own bathroom. By incorporating calming elements, upgrading fixtures and minimizing clutter, you can achieve a spa-like bathroom that allows you to melt away stress and relax in peace.
It requires only a few simple tweaks, so you don't have to take on a major bathroom remodel to create your at-home spa. Reimagine your bathroom as your own personal sanctuary, and use these tips to achieve that spa-like feeling every day.
1. INCORPORATE NATURAL DECOR.
Incorporating plants is one of the easiest tricks for making your bathroom feel like a spa. Place potted houseplants on the floor, countertop and other bathroom surfaces, or try hanging a potted plant from the ceiling. Be sure to choose plants that will thrive in a humid bathroom environment and the type of light the space receives. If living plants aren't suitable for your space or skills, set a vase filled with fresh flowers on a shelf or countertop, or decorate with faux plants instead.
2. DECLUTTER YOUR BATHROOM.
Cluttered countertops and jam-packed bathroom cabinets aren't conducive to relaxation. To streamline your space, start by getting rid of any products that have expired or gone unused in the last year. As you restock, place any items you don't use on a regular basis inside cabinets, drawers or baskets. Prioritize counter space and other open storage for the few essentials you use every day, and neatly tuck everything else away.
3. STOCK PLUSH BATH TOWELS.
Fluffy, luxuriously soft towels are key to achieving a spa-like atmosphere. Choose bath towels made from an absorbent material, such as cotton or bamboo, that will stand up well to washing over time. Display extra towels in a rolled arrangement, or create a stack with crisply folded edges. For an extra-special touch, invest in a towel warmer rack so you can wrap yourself in a warm, cozy towel every time you step out of the shower.
4. INSTALL A NEW SHOWERHEAD.
Replacing your basic showerhead with a more luxurious model is an easy swap that can turn your daily shower into a rejuvenating experience. Look for features that suit your needs and preferences, such as massaging spray patterns, a handheld component or a rain showerhead that sprays water from directly above. If you have room in your budget, consider upgrading other bathroom fixtures, such as the faucet or commode, to high-quality models with special features like touchless automation or heated toilet seats.
5. UPGRADE YOUR TOILETRIES.
Reinforce the spa look with extra details like aesthetically pleasing bath products that blend with your color scheme. If your favorite products don't come in spa-worthy packaging, consider decanting your hand soap or shampoo and conditioner into pretty bottles. Clear glass jars are great for holding sponges, cotton rounds and other small items. Corral toiletries on a tray by the sink to add a luxurious feel to your vanity area.
Updates to home include a new roof in 2021, new flooring in the main living area and a bathroom remodel. Kitchen has lots of counter space and cupboards. Over 900 s.f. of unfinished dried-in space. Listing agent is related to Sellers.
