Water-themed decor
RIGHT AT HOME:
By KIM COOK Associated Press
Summer for many of us means reconnecting with water — lakeside hikes, paddles in the sea, luxuriant floats in some relaxing pool. And that connection isn't confined just to the outdoors, either. Watery hues and motifs are all over home decor. "Water imagery adds a beautiful dimension to a room," says designer Ohara Gaetano-Davies of Laguna Beach, California. Her projects include beachfront homes in Southern California and Cape Cod. In a seaside home in Laguna Beach's Emerald Bay area, she painted the interior of some open cabinetry a serene pale blue, evoking beach glass. A collection of white coral sits on the shelves. A large, contemporary painting of a woman div-
tion of gently rolling waves in soft blues. (www.phillipjeffries.com ) "The gradation of color and tone adds beautiful dimension and movement to a relatively small space," she says. "Your eye focuses on the movement of the pattern and not the scale of the room. " For Trove's new wallpaper collection, designers Randall Buck and Jee Levin used Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's "Water" poem as inspiration. Their watercolor paintings evoke both the serenity and explosive nature of water. In the three-pattern "Ode to Eau" collection, the Drift pattern is a cool horizon of gently lapping waves; Mazu carries us into a tumble of frothy waves; Estuary brings us right to the AP Photo edge of a thundering waterfall, ing fills one crisply painted Gaetano-Davies went with full of kinetic energy.

(www.troveline.com ) Sometimes a stylized pattern successfully brings the theme home in a subtle way. Momeni's simple geometric repeat of a wave motif works beautifully on an indoor/outdoor rug at Target. (www.target.com) An aqua-hued wavy scallop makes a chic and modern tray at Homegoods. (www.homegoods.com) And then there are less subtle renditions of the water theme. For Deny Designs, Las Vegas artist Lisa Argyropoulos' vivid photographs of sun-sparked oceans, bubbly wave curls and crystalline droplets make dynamic throw pillows. (www.denydesigns.com) Australian photographer Beata Czyzowska Young's macro shots of rain, and of dewdrops on plant stems, are the stuff of fairy fantasy. (www.fineartamerica.com ) Contemporary artists explore the aquatic in the abstract at Crate & Barrel; check out prints like Kelly Ventura's "Pool," Lauren Adams' "Deep Water Ripple" and Deb Haugen's "Tide Pools."(www.crateandbarrel.com )

Shutters, arches, gables and stone veneer blend harmoniously in the Bentley, a palatial ranch-style home with intriguingly European flavor. This single-level plan offers close to 5,000 square feet of indoor living space, plus plenty more outside. The three-bay garage adds a 1,000+ square footage of shelter. Entering through the soaring vaulted porch, you step into a wide, high-ceilinged foyer with a classic hardwood floor. That flooring extends down the hallway in both directions, as well as into the dining room, family room and nook. Arched openings in the foyer lead into the dining room; double doors on the left open into an expansive media or living room.

TACKLE CLEANING LIKE A PRO By Family Features
Now is a sensible time to refresh and restore your home after heavy indoor use during winter and spring. It's also an opportunity to conduct overdue home maintenance and achieve a sense of accomplishment. Tackle the project room by room with these tips from the experts at Office Depot to make the work feel more manageable and ensure you complete a thoroughly satisfying job.
Entryway
The main entrance, whether it's the front door or a mudroom entrance off the garage, tends to become a dumping ground where items are shed with each trip through the door. You may have to wade through some clutter to make headway, but after a thorough cleaning of the furniture, floors and walls in this space, your next challenge is making sense of all the mess. One solution is assigning designated storage spaces for each family member. A series of plastic storage boxes or cubby-style organizers can help contain possessions like shoes, backpacks, handbags and more. Rely on stylish hooks or a coat tree for extra storage. Put your finishing touch on the freshly cleaned entryway with some pops of color and personality, such as cheerful wall art and a welcoming rug.

Kitchen Because it's likely the most used room in the house, the kitchen sees a fair bit of cleaning year-round. However, in any busy household it's easy to let deeper cleaning slide. While you're tackling the rest of the house, take time to give the kitchen its due. Mop the floors, disinfect all surfaces and remove clutter that has accumulated, including old and out-of-date food from the refrigerator and pantry. Because consumables are such an integral part of this space, it's a good idea to use green cleaning products that won't leave harmful residues on your cooking surfaces or distribute contaminants into the air.
Make a confident offer.

Bedrooms
When warm spring weather arrives, throwing open the windows to circulate fresh air can be one of the most welcoming ways to wake up the bedroom after long winter months. Freshly washed linens and a flipped or rotated mattress can also give the room a freshness you can see and feel. Beyond the typical chores like vacuuming and dusting, don't forget dusty baseboards and make sure to wipe down any glass or mirrored surfaces for extra shine. Another way to make a big difference is organizing items that exceed the storage capacity of your furniture. In the bedroom itself, a trunk at the foot of the bed or a wardrobe organizer that complements your other furnishings is a smart bet. In the closet, you can repurpose common office supplies and organizers to make the most of limited space. For example, adhesive hooks are perfect for handbags, necklaces and scarves. Lightweight shelving or cubbies make it easy to confine shoes, and for an assortment of accessories and knick-knacks, try stacking plastic bins. Another idea to maximize drawer space in your dresser: move undergarments and socks into a portable storage cart with trays or drawers that fits neatly in the closet.
Multi-Purpose Rooms
Sometimes space dictates that each room in the house cannot be dedicated to just one purpose, but combining multiple spaces such as a home office and craft room, den or storage area - can often lead to clutter accumulating. Start by organizing things into piles based on which part of the space is best suited for each item. An option like a Realspace Mezza Mobile File cabinet can help you file away documents and by aligning multiple cabinets together, serves as a versatile workspace, craft area or television stand. Also, take time to check for broken items or ones you haven't used in a while and determine what can be repaired, donated or discarded. Once everything has been properly sorted, store any items that didn't previously have a home. Hanging items that are used often for crafting is one way to make creative use of your space and free up space for additional furniture or storage, such as shelving or attractive totes.
A mortgage loan pre-qualification is simply an estimate of how much house you can afford. It’s an easy process, and we can get started with a phone call or short visit. The best time to get pre-qualified is before you even start looking for a home. Knowing what you can afford is extremely helpful in making a confident offer. At First International Bank & Trust there is no cost or obligation to get pre-qualified. Call us today, we’ll help prepare you for the future you’ve been dreaming of.

A little less drama:
Kitchen backsplashes get sleeker
By MELISSA RAYWORTH Associated Press
The kitchen backsplash — that surface behind the stovetop or sink that protects the wall from damage during cooking and dishwashing — has long been used to add color and beauty to an otherwise utilitarian space. But dramatic, ornately patterned backsplashes, once popular, are being replaced by sleeker, simpler designs, says interior designer Jenny Kirschner. Many designers are using monochromatic tiles arranged in simple patterns to create beautiful backsplashes that won't quickly go out of style. We've asked New York-based Kirschner and two other interior designers — Florida-based Andrew Howard and California-based Sayre Ziskin — for advice on creating a kitchen backsplash that is as timeless as it is gorgeous.
QUALITY AND HANDCRAFTING
"I make it a point in every kitchen to do a standout backsplash," Howard says. But that doesn't mean the project has to be expensive. Because a backsplash covers a relatively small area, he says, it's possible to use high-end and even custom-made tiles while keeping costs down.
16 H O M E M A R K E T JULY 2017
There is usually a space of just 18 inches between upper and lower cabinets, so it doesn't take a lot of tile to fill that area if you wish to extend the backsplash beyond the sink or stovetop. All three designers suggest hunting for high-quality porcelain or ceramic tiles, or commissioning them in custom colors and finishes. For ceramic tiles in custom colors, Kirschner recommends Fireclay Tile, a California company that ships nationally. Ziskin is a fan of the handmade tiles by Anne Sacks, which she says offer the beautiful flaws and uniqueness that machine-made tiles don't have.
COORDINATING, NOT CONTRASTING
It's tempting to add a burst of color in your backsplash. But by keeping the backsplash neutral and adding brighter colors through more easily replaceable things like curtains and upholstery, you're less likely to get bored. And if you'll be selling your home within a few years, a neutral backsplash in classic white subway tile or a pale gray glass tile is a much easier sell than a distinctive color. Kirschner likes designing backsplashes that are coordinated with the countertop material. By matching the materials instead of contrasting them, she says,
"you don't run the risk of saying, 'What was I thinking?'" One way to do this is to use fauxmarble porcelain slab countertops in a neutral color, and then use tiles or a solid slab in the same material for your backsplash. You can also choose a tile in a slightly different material than your countertops but exactly match the color.
CREATIVE PLACEMENT
One way to make tiles in a neutral shade like white or gray look more striking is to get "playful with shape, rather than color," Kirschner says. If you like subway tiles but feel they're overused, choose an oversize version or a very elongated one. To make classic tiles look fresh and surprising, try arranging long, narrow tiles vertically instead of horizontally. Another fresh twist: Ziskin likes lining up edges of tiles so that they are stacked neatly, rather than offsetting them in a traditional brick pattern. Also popular right now are hexagonal tiles arranged with the top edge left uneven. It's traditional to cut a few hexagonal tiles in half to create a solid top line straight across. But designers are now using only whole tiles, creating a playful, uneven line across the top.
SLABS AND STEEL
Some homeowners rarely cook, Howard says, so they can choose a backsplash that's purely about beauty. But the rest of us do give our stoves and sinks a workout, so we need to be more practical. "If you're in your kitchen a lot and it's getting heavy use, I would shy away from marble or a grouted backsplash," Howard says. "Because you don't want to spend all your time scrubbing down your backsplash." Ziskin agrees: Lots of thick grout lines can be "a cleaning nightmare." One solution is using a faux-marble slab backsplash (real marble may pick up stains you can't remove) rather than tiles. That way there's no grout to clean. Another option is using tiles but keeping grout to a minimum. Kirschner has used stainless steel tiles with no visible grout lines to create a sleek backsplash in kitchens that also have stainless steel appliances. It's a unique look and easy to clean. Any design that you love can be beautiful, Ziskin says, "as long as the surface is wipeable and it doesn't stain." ONLINE: www.andrewjhoward.com www.jdkinteriors.com www.svzinteriordesign.com
