7 ideas to improve your home’s curb appeal

BY FAMILY FEATURES

Whether you’re hoping to sell in the near future or simply looking to touch up outdated areas, there’s one aspect of home maintenance most homeowners agree is important: curb appeal. It’s a broad term that may reference any number of visible features, meaning there are plenty of ways to enhance the appearance of your house. Consider these ideas — some big, some small - for bringing new life to your home’s look from the experts at the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. And don’t mind the increasingly colder weather: There’s still time to make these updates before winter fully sets in.

SWAP OUT YOUR FRONT DOOR

As one of the first things a guest, passerby or potential homebuyer may notice, the front door is the gateway to your home and a likely opening impression. Upgrading to a heavier, bolder door or simply repainting the existing threshold can capture positive attention. Alternately, swapping out hardware for a more eye-catching look is an easy way to achieve a fresh facelift.

CREATE SEATING AREAS

A welcoming home is typically an attractive

one, and there are few better ways to create a cozy vibe than a seating or gathering area on the porch. Whether it’s the classic porch swing or chairs and a cof fee table suitable for the outdoors, a small zone ideal for conversation and camaraderie can help create an at-home appearance.

PLANT SHRUBBERY

Billowing trees and blooming flowers are certainly eye-catching accessories outside a home, but many varieties require intense care to grow the way you envision and may adhere to seasonal weather patterns for optimal appearance. For a quicker result, shop around for fully mature shrubs and plants that can withstand elements throughout the year.

RETHINK THE MAILBOX

It may not be as exciting of a project to undertake, however, giving your mailbox a fresh look helps it stand out and - especially if it’s directly in front of your home - may tur n an ordinar y object into a wor thy attractant. Your work may be as simple as updating to a newer model or as thought-out as constr ucting a small rock wall around the base.

ADD STONEWORK

For a project that can give your house a new look altogether, consider incorporating stonework or a stone veneer for a natural appearance. If changing your facade isn’t in the plans, less complicated ideas like pavers, brick sidewalks and landscape rings are ways to introduce a classic touch.

PAINT (OR REPAINT) THE EXTERIOR

Changing the exterior paint color of a home is one of the most popular renovation projects, and one of the first that comes to mind for many homeowners.

Simply altering the colors of trim, gutters and other accent pieces may be enough for some homes, and repainting the exterior doesn’t have to mean a new color altogether - consider a brighter shade or simply a fresh coat to help your home pop.

UPDATE LIGHTING

Light fixtures come in all shapes and sizes, and many times the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

While updated porch illumination may not drive home a potential sale, it’s a subtle touch right as guests arrive. Adding smaller lights in previously unlit areas like around landscaping (consider solarpowered for easier maintenance) can help your hard work shine.

‘ Our own little paradise’

STORY BY JODI KEEN MESSENGER-INQUIRER

PHOTOS BY LORI KIMBLE HOME REALTY INC.

1634 Sherwood Drive has long been the charming Griffith area home of the Wathen family. Ed and Bev Wathen purchased the house in 1969. After moving their family to McCreary Avenue in the mid-1970s, two more owners staked their claim in the property, but the Wathens continued to hold affection for their old family home.

“We always joked (with our parents), ‘If you move, you’ve got to move back to Sherwood,’ ” says Susan Wathen, Ed and Bev’s daughter.

Such is the spell cast by 1634 Sherwood Drive that, when Bev found herself playing bridge with the home’s owner in the mid-1990s, she wasted no time expressing her love for her former abode.

“Mom said to her, ‘If you ever want to sell the house, will you let me know first so I can buy it back? And (the homeown-

er) said, ‘I put it on the market just this morning,’ ” Susan says. “And Mom went straight to the Realtor’s office and bought it back.”

“This was a plain little ranch house at one time,” she says, but after decades of inspired renovations and meticulous upgrades, Susan says there is much more to 1634 Sherwood Drive than first meets the eye.

1950s ranch-style homes aren’t known to have open concept floorplans, but visitors to this house will enjoy unimpeded movement through the common areas.

The kitchen, dining room and formal living room are set in a circle, with the adjacent family room allowing additional entertaining space. The property includes three bedrooms, two full baths and two gas fireplaces in its 2,188 square feet.

Along with two ovens, Corian countertops, a comfortable desk area and paneling on the appliances, the kitchen also boasts an impressive array of over- and under-thecounter storage.

In fact, the entire property is brimming

OPEN HOUSE TODAY 1634 Sherwood Drive is hosting an open house from 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9.

with well-appointed places to store things.

From solid wood bookshelves in the living room to expansive built-ins in the master bedroom and family room, this home is sure to delight any homeowner who wishes to keep an orderly house.

“There’s so much storage, it’s unbelievable,” Susan says. “You’re not going to find a house with more storage.”

A tranquil oasis awaits just outside the enclosed sun porch. An in-ground pool is flanked by a trellis and koi pond, while an attractive, veranda-style covered porch wraps around two full sides of the backyard. A privacy fence separates the property from Bosley Road, from which an automatic gate opens access to a second driveway that leads straight to a dual carport.

A row of bay windows along the west

wall allows a nearly panoramic view of the backyard, and the window-laden home catches both the rising and setting sun.

“You forget you’re in the middle of town,” Susan says. “It’s our own little paradise.”

Over the years, the Wathens added wainscoting and a jetted tub, replaced the windows, installed new front doors and hardwood in the kitchen, built the bay windows into the bedrooms and installed custom solid wood wall paneling, chair railing and dentil crown molding. Each renovation has enhanced the home’s design flexibility and boosted its overall appeal.

Susan says each homeowner from the 1970s to now has added attractive elements to the house and created what has amounted to a cohesive, shared and ultimately timeless vision of family living.

“It’s been lived in,” she says, “and it has been loved.”

Beware: These home repairs can sink your budget fast A home is the most substantial investment many people will ever make. Once down payments have been made and closing costs have been paid, homeowners may still be staring down sizable expenses as they begin to tackle any repairs that need to be made.

Home maintenance and renovations involve a certain measure of trepidation. Even after vetting contractors and establishing budgets, homeowners may worry that repairs will unearth problems that snowball into expensive fixes. Planning ahead for such projects and learning to recognize issues that tend to be costly can help homeowners weather any storms that may arise.

FOUNDATION ISSUES

A strong foundation is key to any home. If there is a problem with the foundation, it can be unsafe to live in the house. The foundation repair company Foundation Experts advises that foundation fixes can range from $4,000 to upward of $100,000 depending on the scale of the job. Clogged gutters and water pooling around the foundation can contribute to damage, so water issues must be remedied first.

ROOF DAMAGE

A roof is a key barrier between the indoors and outdoors.

Roofs must remain in tip-top shape. The home improvement resource HomeAdvisor says that a roof repair or replacement can cost between $3,000 and $12,000. But homeowners also must budget for the cost of removing the old roofing materials and fixing any damage to the interior of the home. Inspecting the roof and making repairs as you go is key to avoiding a big headache.

SIDING REPLACEMENT

Another costly project can be replacing the siding. Siding may need to be replaced if there is water/wind damage or penetration from insects. Spot repairs may be relatively inexpensive.

However, the home improvement resource Modernize says the average siding installation project can cost between $5,500 and $15,000 depending on the materials homeowners choose.

HVAC UPDATE

Keeping a home at a comfortable temperature is also a matter of safety. If a system gives out, homeowners may be scrambling for a solution. Yearly inspections and upkeep, which includes changing system filters regularly, can help identify potential problems. Neglect is one of the main contributors to the failure of heating and cooling equipment. Based on national averages, a whole-house HVAC system can cost between $4,000 and $12,000.

Get your home ready for winter with these tips Your furnace, gutters, windows and deck should all be on the list

BY FAMILY FEATURES

A

s the days get shorter and the weather turns chilly, it’s time to prepare your home for the winter months ahead. Because your home will likely require extra maintenance to keep it in shape throughout the winter, beginning preparations early can help lower energy bills, increase the efficiency and lifespan of your home’s components and make your property safer overall.

Consider these tips from the experts at the National Association of the Remodeling Industr y to help ensure your home is ready before winter weather strikes.

GET YOUR FURNACE CHECKED

To keep your furnace from failing when you need it most, get it inspected by a professional before you need to rely on it to heat your home in the dead of winter. Regular tune-ups can prolong your furnace’s life, help prevent carbon monoxide leaks and ensure your unit is working at maximum efficiency.

SEAL LEAKS AROUND WINDOWS AND DOORS

If replacing window screens with storm windows and installing a storm door on your house isn’t realistic, you can keep your home warmer and increase energy efficiency by applying caulk to seal any gaps you find around window and door moldings and help keep heat from escaping. If any pipes or ducts travel through an exterior wall of your home, you can also use caulking and weather-stripping to help block potential entry points for cold air.

CHECK YOUR GUTTERS

Once the leaves have fallen and before the first snow, check to

Once the leaves have fallen and before the first snow, check to make sure your gutters are properly secured and clear of debris. make sure your gutters are properly secured — replacing gutter spikes and downspout rivets where needed — and clear of debris. If your gutters are full of debris, it can lead to water backing up against the house and overflowing, which can cause potential damage to roofing and siding. Also adjust downspouts so they direct water at least 5 feet from the house, which can help prevent melting snow from saturating the ground around the house and causing foundational damage.

PREP THE PLUMBING

Undrained water in pipes can freeze, both indoors and out, which can cause pipes to burst as the ice expands. Start by disconnecting hoses and shutting off exterior faucets, draining any water that remains in them and storing hoses indoors to prevent cracks. Drain any other pipes, valves or in-ground sprinklers that may be exposed to the elements and, for an extra layer of protection, wrap water spigots with covers to prevent damage.

EXAMINE DECKS AND PATIOS

Your patios, sidewalks, driveways and decks need occasional maintenance as well, and giving them a once-over before colder weather hits can help ensure they’re prepared to stand up to the elements.

ONLINE Find more expert tips to get your home ready for winter at RemodelingDoneRight.com.

Repairing any broken joints or cracks in stonework and applying sealer can prevent melted snow from getting in and freezing, which can create bigger problems. The same principles hold true for decks and wooden handrails.

Though typically made from treated or rot-resistant wood, they are subject to splintering, decay or insect damage and may need to be stained and sealed periodically. Of course, if replacement is necessary, it’s best to complete the project before inclement weather hits.

Real Estate Inside Out

Turn a simple shed into a livable oasis O

nce the domain of lawnmowers and gardening tools, today’s backyard sheds are being repurposed into unique, functional spaces (think: she-shed, bunkhouse or even a bar pub) complete with plumbing and electricity. Here are tips from the experts on how to turn a simple shed into a backyard oasis.

“Quite often, we are seeing that homeowners are adding electricity to backyard sheds and using decorative interior lighting to make a statement, just as lighting would be used in the interiors of a home,” says Jennifer Kis, director of marketing communications for Progress Lighting.

Backyard sheds are widely available at garden centers, hardware and home stores in a variety of architectural styles, from traditional to modern. Sheds range in size, from small (under 80 square feet), medium (approximately 90 to 120 square feet) and large (ranging from 144 to 288 square feet.) Choose a size appropriate for the use -- for example, a gardener’s getaway or she-shed may be on the smaller size. A bunkhouse or bar shed will need to be larger.

Decide whether this will be a DIY project from the ground up, or whether a prefabricated shed best meets your needs. Check with your local planning department to comply with codes and guidelines. Decide if the shed will mirror the architectural features of your home. Keep in mind that because sheds are not tall, the roof will be visible and should be considered as part of the design.

When turning a backyard shed into a dream bunkhouse at her lakeside home, designer, artist and owner of Meme Hill Studio, Amie Freling Brown put this to the test.

“I’m obsessed with the tiny living concept and the she-shed movement,” says Freling Brown. “When we decided we needed more sleeping space for our 750 square foot lake house, we knew it was time to create our own tiny house.”

Choosing a 10 by 12-foot classic backyard shed with a gambrel roof, gable vents, transom windows and 7-foot walls to give top campers in the bunk beds more headroom, Freling Brown transformed a simple shed into a bright, nautical farmhouse-inspired bunkhouse, complete with electricity for an overhead light, two wall lanterns and electrical outlets.

The hand-painted wood grain texture of its overhead pendant inspired Freling Brown’s choice of reclaimed wood paneling for the ceiling, creating an unexpected décor detail. She added vinyl plank flooring that would stand up to sandy, wet feet from the lake. Beadboard paneled walls painted in a semi-gloss white make the most of the reflected light, adding to the small space’s open, airy feeling. As a contrast to the light palette of the bunkhouse interior, she used color in coordinating bedding, nautical decor and navy furniture, as well as accessories make it warm and inviting.
