Holiday hosting considerations

By Metro Creative Connection

will know to avoid serving particular dishes so no one accidentally eats foods that might make them sick and you can prepare alternative dishes for people who must avoid certain foods.

H

oliday hosts have a lot on their plates. The work of holiday hosting does not begin when the first guest arrives. It starts weeks before, when homeowners begin preparing their homes for overnight guests.

Because the holiday season can be so busy, it’s easy for hosts to overlook certain things as the day their first guests are set to arrive draws nearer. But the following are a few things hosts should consider in the weeks before their guests show up.

Activities

If guests will be staying for several nights, explore a few local activities so everyone can get out of the house for a night or two. Time spent with family is one of the best parts of the holiday season, but spending all of that time inside in cramped quarters can grow uncomfortable over time. Plan a family night or two out that everyone can enjoy.

Accommodations

It’s hard to overlook accommodations when hosting for the holidays, but it’s best to inspect linens and other items that might go largely unused throughout much of the year. Check foldout couches or air mattresses a few weeks before your guests are slated to arrive. This gives you ample time to address any issues and also allows you to comparison shop and find great deals on any items you need to replace. Hosts who are parents to young children may want to discuss sleeping arrangements before guests arrive if kids will be asked to sleep in different beds. Kids might embrace the change, while others might be less enthusiastic. If younger cousins will be staying over, let kids choose their new roommates, which might make them more excited about

Pets

sharing rooms with their guests. Explaining the situation in advance gives youngsters time to ready themselves for their temporary move.

Diets

Ask guests before they arrive if they have any particular food allergies or items they need to avoid because of any medications they might be taking. This is especially important for youngsters, who may forget to avoid homemade cookies with nuts despite having nut allergies. By asking in advance if your guests have any food allergies or foods and ingredients they must avoid, you

When hosting for the holidays, let your guests know if you have any pets. Some people have dog and cat allergies, and those allergies may make it difficult for them to enjoy their stay. Others’ allergies might be so severe that they have to find alternative lodging. Let guests know about your pets when you invite them to stay at your house so no one is surprised at the last minute. In addition, let guests know if they can bring their own pets along to your house.

Hosting for the holidays is a great way to welcome loved ones into your home. Considering and discussing a few factors before your guests arrive can ensure everyone enjoys their stay.

One-room living: Live large in a small

By BPT

A

s we seek to simplify our lives, the desire for small-space living - even one-room living seems more attractive than ever. But whether you’re ready to join the tiny house movement or just want to get the most out of a compact space in your home, there are easy things you can do to make a small space look, feel and function like a larger one.

“There’s no need to sacrifice great design if you live in a small space. A few simple changes are all you need to make it feel bigger, more beautiful and a reflection of your personality,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams.

Look overhead and underfoot. Consider using every conceivable space to please the eye -even the ceiling. “I love the idea of reflecting the shape of your dining room table with a bold accent color on the ceiling above it,” says Jordan. Another idea: define a space at the floor level with an area rug beneath a couch and side table.

Multitasking solutions. If you’re always multitasking, your furniture can do the same. Place an ottoman with a hidden storage compartment or flip-top serving tray beside a comfy chair. Move a twin bed next to the wall and add big patterned pillows to create seating space by day, and sleeping space by night. The pillows can also provide extra floor seating for entertaining.

13

The answer is written on the wall. Walls can also be multifunctional. Sketch Pad, a clear gloss coating, can turn any surface into a dry erase board, and goes over any paint color. Instead of cluttering up the walls with bulletin boards, write directly on the wall by a computer desk, or scribble messages and doodles in the kitchen. Simply wipe it clean with a dry eraser.

Have lofty ambitions. Consider creating a sleeping loft. It’s not only cozy, but leaves extra living space below. A Murphy bed that folds up discretely into the wall is another space saver.

Find a focal point. It can make a space feel larger.

Try painting a corner, such as a reading nook, in a bright, bold color for a mini-room effect. Or paint a piece of furniture or picture frame and elevate it to something special.

Get creative with cabinetry. Take advantage of cabinetry with built-in storage features, from pullout racks that create added pantry space, to bathroom cabinets equipped with laundry hampers, hairdryer hooks and bins for grooming items.

Expect the unexpected. Instead of painting the outside of your front door to make a bold statement, paint the inside of the door with a pop of color, such as bright yellow Cheerful or magenta Juneberry.

With these tips, you’ll find that good things really do come in small packages. For more tips, visit sherwin-williams.com.

Personal Space

By Kristi McCabe

Enchanting Estate

ocated in Hilltop subdivision in Owensboro’s east end, the home of Joe and Suzanne Blazar at 11 Hilltop Drive is nothing short of spectacular. This home is stately yet welcoming, traditional yet unique, and has the feel of a wooded retreat stacked with modern conveniences.

“This is a wonderful neighborhood,” said Suzanne Blazar. “It’s wooded and quiet, and has a swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s kind of like living at a resort.”

This four-bedroom, three-and-a-half bedroom home is comprised of 6,800 square feet of living space, including a walkout basement, a formal dining room, multiple living areas and a wet bar. When entering the home, visitors are welcomed to a unique great room with an exposed-brick wall sporting a striking shade of crimson.

With its unique floor plan, this home is difficult to describe in words; it is a must-see.

“One of the reasons we first looked at this home was because it was difficult to determine where the rooms were just by looking at photographs,” said Suzanne Blazar. The couple soon fell in love with the home, and went to work remodeling.

“We updated a lot when we first moved in,” explained Suzanne. “We put new appliances in the kitchen, which already had granite countertops and a nice two-tier island.

We also remodeled all bathrooms, put in new lighting and fixtures throughout the house, and updated the tile and carpeting.”

The kitchen is stunning, with white cabinetry, a built-in wine rack, and tile backsplash. A beveled glass window

that hangs over the kitchen sink looks into the living room, making the house feel even more open. The living room is adjacent to the formal dining room, and has a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, and beautiful hardwood floors. Skylights and windows are found in plenty throughout the home, creating an open and airy feel.

“This is a great house for entertaining, since there are so many open areas,” Suzanne said.

In the walkout basement, two bedrooms and a full bathroom offer plenty of space for guests to relax. Also in the basement are a wet bar, fireplace, a recreational room and plenty of storage space.

“Another unique feature of this house is the fact that much of the basement is actually above grade,” Suzanne said. “The lower level not only has extra living space, it also provides even more room for entertaining.”

The second floor is yet another guest suite, with a bedroom and full bathroom. All four bedrooms have walk-in closets, with an extra walk-in closet in the master bathroom.

The master suite is luxurious, with a fireplace, multiple windows and an office.

“The master bedroom has the feel of being in a treehouse, because of all the windows and tall trees right outside,” Suzanne said. “It’s so relaxing to just sit in our chaise lounge in front of the fireplace and curl up with a good book or watch television.”

An office connected to the master bedroom provides a place for working from home or catching up on family finances. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the master suite is the bathroom, with its air jet tub, dual vanities and shower with river-rock tile.

“The shower in the master bath has three options for the

shower head,” said Suzanne. “It has a rain head, a standard shower head, and a handheld. It also has glass doors and river rock tiling. It’s very luxurious.”

The bathtub is an air jet tub, which means it is self-drying and does not mold or mildew. A separate sink in the toilet area provides a second vanity, and a large window over the bathtub offers a relaxing view.

The home is beautifully-landscaped, with a circular retaining wall in front and trees all around the yard. Situated on 1.7 acres, this property is both spacious and private.

“We see a lot of wildlife out here,” Suzanne remarked.

“Sometimes we see deer walking through the yard.”

Backyard entertaining is a breeze with the deck space this home has to offer.

“There are multiple levels of deck,” Suzanne said.

“There is also an aggregate patio between the decks, so there is more than enough room for backyard entertaining.

We have a covered, attached gazebo with a ceiling fan, and the deck wraps all the way around the house. We also have lighting and speakers outside; it is just a wonderful place for spending time with family and friends.”

For the buyer in search of an elegant retreat where one can feel right at home, 11 Hilltop Drive is worth a visit.

“This is a wonderful place to live,” Suzanne noted. “It’s great for kids and perfect for entertaining. The neighbors are wonderful, and everyone looks out for each other.

There is still lots of privacy, however, and it is very quiet.

The location is perfect, since we are five minutes from the new hospital and shopping areas on Highway 54. It really has the best of both worlds—private, yet convenient.”

Host a successful open house

hen selling their homes, homeowners can employ several strategies in an effort to drum up interest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property.

Realtors have long used open houses to introduce properties to the market, and a well-planned open house can help sellers generate numerous offers in a single day. Whether working with a realtor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success.

• Generate publicity online. Nowadays many prospective home buyers do the bulk of their research via their computers and devices. By advertising their open houses online, sellers have the potential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Zillow.com and Trulia.com to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even

allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones.

• Generate publicity in traditional ways as well. Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house. A $5 “Open House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighborhoods looking for their next homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online listings can make it hard to reach potential buyers. A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budget-friendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house.

• Invite your neighbors. Neighbors can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live.

Invite friendly neighbors to your open house and encourage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbors’ firsthand knowledge about the community, and their friendli-

ness can help to create a strong first impression that increases buyer interest in your home.

• Consider some changes to your home decor. When hosting an open house, you might not need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life. Remove any potentially controversial artwork or decorative items, replacing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers.

• Leave the hosting to the professionals. Unless you’re selling the home on your own, resist the temptation to attend your open house. Let your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property and ask any questions.

When hosting an open house, sellers can take several steps to make their homes more appealing to buyers.

Clean up all those pesky pine needles D

By Metro Creative Connection

espite how well you may tend to Christmas trees and wreaths, you can expect some pine needles to find their way onto your floors during the holiday season. Such needles can become imbedded in carpeting or stuck in socks and furniture, proving to be quite a nuisance. Attempting to vacuum them all up can be frustrating, as some vacuums simply do not have the suction power to handle all of those heavy needles. Plus, they can become lodged in the inner cavities of the vacuum and clog it. To lessen the mess, wrap a tree bag around the base of the Christmas tree when you are setting it up and hide it under the tree skirt. This bag will catch many of the needles that fall off during the season. Each day, sweep any needles that make it to the floor so they are not tracked around the house throughout the month of December. Think about making a homemade sticky needle catcher. Wrap duct tape around your hands or a broom with the sticky side facing out, then pat areas of the floor where needles have accumulated, and the needles will likely stick to the tape. If you want the evergreen aroma to last a little longer in your home, place collected pine needles in a cloth satchel and make a potpourri bag for an inexpensive air freshener.

Save energy with holiday decorations

T

he holiday season allows people to transform their homes into wonderlands of lights, garlands and poinsettias. Each family has its own holiday traditions, and decorations are a part of many of those traditions.

Decorations might be awe-inspiring, but those that include lights often lead to substantially higher energy bills. Fortunately, there are ways for homeowners, whether they prefer subtle displays or more over-the-top arrangements, to save money and still celebrate the holiday season in style.

• Switch to more efficient lights. A great way to ensure holiday displays consume less energy is to change the bulbs being strung. Incandescent lights can use 80 to 90 percent more energy than LED lights. Gradually replace older light strands with newer, energy-efficient LEDs. Not only do LEDs require less energy, but they also can last longer than incandescent bulbs, meaning you won’t have to replace them as frequently as more traditional bulbs. Furthermore, lower wattage usage means you can attach more

strands of lights together safely.

• Use timers. Timers can be set to turn lights on and off at specific times, ensuring lights aren’t turning on during the daytime or being left on into the night by forgetful homeowners. Timers

“Leaders in Real Estate, Leaders in the Community”

also are a good safety precaution. A dark house that is normally lit up can advertise to thieves that no one is home. When lights turn on with a timer, it will create the illusion that it is business as usual in your residence.

• Use homemade decorations. You also can save energy and money by recycling materials into holiday décor. Trim branches from trees and use them in vases for an instant wintry look. Prune an evergreen on your property and make your own wreath with some wire and twine. Shop yard sales for gently used decorations that still have years of utility left. Sew ornaments from scraps of fabric or clothing that no longer fits.

Each of these ideas reduces reliance on manufactured decorations that consume energy during production and fuel while being transported from factories to store shelves.

• Rely on extension cords. You can extend the length of displays without using more lights by spacing out light strands with extension cords. Intersperse spotlights to add attention to key elements of your display as well.

• Turn off interior lights. If a Christmas tree is illuminating a front window, turn off the lights in your home, as the tree may provide enough light to make a living room or den extra cozy.
