Citrus hues serve up ‘sorbet for your eyes’ Fruity colours can perk up any home Kim Cook The Associated Press Ah, summer — the season when oranges are transformed into ice pops, limes add zing to slushies, peaches become pies, and berries take over nearly every dessert from June to September. Citrus and other fruity hues look fresh and energetic in summer decor, and there’s no need to remove them once fall approaches. Their upbeat nature makes them a smart choice all year round. “Citrus hues are lemon sorbet for your eyes. Every-

body’s home could benefit from a little extra zest, and bright juicy colours are the ultimate palate cleanser. A taste of lemon yellow, tangerine orange or lime green adds sunny optimism,” says designer Jonathan Adler. Adler’s Brigitte chair, one of his favourite designs, resembles a big comfy hand. You can have it in a spectrum of tasty hues including a Creamsicle-like orange and a navy as rich and dark as a blueberry. Lime-green upholstery brings extra drama to Adler’s modernist Peking sofa, (jonathanadler.com). Faith Phillips, design and trends expert for La-Z-Boy, likes the fresh pop of mango for an interior accent hue as the temperatures start rising. “For those of us who love a touch of ‘sunset’ in our home, this colour’s for us,”

she says. “It’s a bold colour that can take natural hues like linen and sand and make them look richer.” It’s also lovely paired with any shade of grey. For a playful, beachy vibe, consider mixing mango with strawberry. La-Z-Boy’s Nightlife sofa, part of the Urban Attitudes collection, is available in tangelo or berry, among other colours, (la-z-boy. com). CB2 has found a fantastic lemony yellow that’s available in accent pieces like a high-gloss serve tray, a fun little teapot, a knitted pouf and a quilted pillow. There’s a bar stool, patio umbrella and bookshelf, too, (cb2.com).

A cheerful apple-red side table from Target is fun.

If the crisp tang of apple red appeals to you, consider Target’s turned-leg accent table or Windham bookcase, both from the Threshold collection. There’s an upholstered headboard in the hue, and a well-priced tub chair too, (target.com). Maine Cottage has built its business on colour, and the extensive fur niture collection, which includes beds, tables, bookcases, dressers and chairs, is available in an extensive palette of both intense and quieter shades. Consider a dresser or bookcase in a grapey blue, bunk beds in apple green, a hutch in banana, or a dining table in apricot, (mainecottage. com). Fruity hues look fresh and lighthearted against neutrals, so consider white, g rey or ivory walls and large furniture pieces, with your colour as punctuation. Decorative accents such as pillows, art, vases or rugs are inexpensive ways to add impact. These deep, juicy shades will look lush paired with woods, leather, metallics and dark backg rounds. Think grape or pomegranate with walnut or brass; rhubarb or raspberry with ebony accents and a textured rug. Put punch on the patio with Plow & Hearth’s outdoor wicker ottomans, seat-

La-Z-Boy/The Associated Press

The rich plummy hue of the Nightlife Premier Sofa is a statement piece from La-Z-Boy. ing, and planter baskets in banana, papaya and honeydew melon, (plowhearth. com). If you’re ready to go big, think about introducing these colours through architectural elements. A fire-

place, window trim, baseboards and mouldings, or a feature wall set the stage. Add neutral fur nishings and textiles to set off the colour, then stand back and admire the fruits of your labour.

A garden tool organizer from Lee Valley Tools can help you keep tabs on your tools.

Keep track of errant tools using simple strategies Make sure your favourites aren’t forgotten Barbara Damrosch The Washington Post Garden tools don’t just run away and hide, but often it seems that way. Where’s the trowel I was using before lunch? And the weed bucket? For that matter, where’s that phone? When you’re moving around the yard it’s easy to forget where you set something down in order to pick up something else. A lost item is, as my mother used to say “right where you left it.” Unless, of course, someone who is normally attuned to your

needs has taken it for his or her own use. We all do this. When you need a tool, you need it right away. “I’ll bring it right back,” you vow — and indeed you would, if you could find it. At our farm, equipment is in constant use and doesn’t always make its way back to its proper place. We try to leave time for tool roundup when a task is done, but often we are rushing on to the next one, or to lunch, or to jump in the pond at the end of a hot day. If the job isn’t finished, we’ll get back to it tomorrow, right? Both farms and home gardens can fall victim to the Tool in Grass Cycle. It begins with people leaving rakes, spades, hoses and such in the grass next to the beds where they’ve been working. The grass grows up and hides them. Somebody brings the mower around to

cut the tall grass, sees the tools, and puts them in the driveway so they won’t get mowed. There they stay. Drivers get used to steering a slalom course around the tools, until they can’t stand it any longer and toss them back onto the grass. Life is not perfect, but I have a couple of strategies for dealing with errant tools. The best way to manage tools is to have a place where each one belongs, a place that is accessible, easy to keep organized, and known to one and all. It could be an actual tool shed, a barn or a designated part of the garage. Indoor storage is best because it helps keep equipment free of rust. If space is limited, stick all the long-handled tools into one or two sturdy garbage cans with the working ends up and easy to grab in a hurry. Smaller

Wascana

ones such as hand pruners, bug spray and dandelion diggers can be corralled in a box, a basket or a large pot. Another way to arrange implements is on an interior wall with pegs, large nails or ready-made tool hooks on which to hang them. They can be exterior walls, if

necessary. We’ve even built a freestanding tool wall on occasion, placed where everyone can see it. The other solution, which I use for special tools I am personally attached to and refuse to share, is to hide them. I have a secret spot for my favourite tools and I am not going to tell you where it is. CA LL

Make it right

Paving the way to driveway durability mIKE HOLMES Make it Right

Most homeowners forget about their driveway, but it plays a big role when it comes to proper water drainage around your home. Driveways and pathways around your home should help direct water away from it. They shouldn’t be completely level to the house, and they definitely shouldn’t be directing water towards it. That’s why driveways and pathways should slant slightly away from the home, following the grading around the house. If they’re level you’re going to get water pooling around the home, and if they’re slanted towards the house you’re actually driving water directly toward your garage and/or foundation, which increases the chance of a leak.

Materials When we talk about driveway materials the top three choices are asphalt, interlocking stone and concrete (or stamped concrete). Asphalt is the least expensive. It performs well and it’s what most homeowners opt for. But if you’re going to have big heavy trucks or toys sitting on your driveway it can damage it and wear it out prematurely. And repairing asphalt isn’t easy. In most cases, it’s a complete do-over where it gets ripped up (resurfaced) and repaved. Interlocking stone is a good option. Not only is it strong, but also the gaps in between the stones allow for water drainage and the natural expansion and

Alex Schuldtz /The Holmes Group

Driveways help direct water away from the home but require regular maintenance, including resealing, which should be done midsummer for best results. contraction of materials, so it helps prevent buckling and cracks. Also, fixing and making any repairs is fairly straightforward because it’s usually just replacing damaged stones. Concrete (and stamped concrete) is typically the top choice. It’s expensive but it can take the most beating. However, salt (a winter deicer) eats away at concrete, and if there are no gaps for the salt to drain away with melting snow, it will just sit on your driveway, literally eating it away. That’s why we typically seal driveways with a breathable, high-quality sealant — make sure it’s the right one for whatever material your

driveway is made of. Just like we have different sealants for different kinds of tiles, we have different sealants made specifically for different kinds of driveways and interlocking stone.

Sealants Sealing your driveway too often can cause problems, such as cracking and peeling, and not sealing it enough compromises its durability and protection. How often you reseal your driveway depends on the material, where you live, climate, installation, use and wear and tear; but as a guideline some pros suggest once every three years.

The best time to reseal your driveway is midsummer. Not only is it hot — so it dries faster and you can use your driveway sooner — but also during the summer materials expand, and if we reseal when the driveway’s materials have fully expanded the pores can take in the sealant better. If you have an asphalt driveway one thing to keep in mind is use a latex sealant — not oil. Oil sealants might look better — they make an asphalt driveway look shiny and black — and they last longer, but they can also cause cracking. (That’s why oil stains from cars are not good for your driveway either.) So

your driveway might look great the first year, but by next year you might start seeing the cracks.

Is it a do-over? If your driveway is crumbling and you’re starting to see holes it’s a do-over. Asphalt driveways should have a minimum of 10 inches (25 centimetres) of gravel tamped every two inches (5 cm) — some pros say 6-8 inches (15 -20 cm), I like 1012 inches (25 - 30 cm) — followed by a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) of asphalt on top. So first we make sure we have proper grading. Then we lay the first two inches (5

cm) of gravel, tamp it; add the next two inches, tamp it again, until we have a total of 10 inches (25 cm) of gravel. If you can do it, I would let that layer of gravel sit for an entire year, to give it time to properly compress and compact itself, and then do the asphalt on top. That gives you a solid base that protects against driveway cracks, dips and heaving. It took me two years to do my driveway, so don’t rush yours. Have patience because sometimes that’s what it takes to make it right. Watch Mike Holmes on Holmes Makes It Right on HGTV. For more information visit makeitright.ca.

r e a l e s tat e

Do I really have to repaint my house for a faster sale? Sarah Kelsey National Post “I really like colour,” says Stacy Butler, a 32-year-old marketing assistant who lives on Queen Street West in Toronto. Her condo is laced with several eyepopping hues: One wall is bright green, another is red; her bathrooms are yellow and grey and her bedroom is blue. “I love my place, but my concern is about what will happen when I go to sell my unit.” Like many, Butler has heard from realtors that staging a home for sale is key, this includes painting walls. “I get that, but painting every room is going to be a lot of work. I wonder if it’s actually necessary.” If it

is, she asks, what colour of paint should she reach for? Mar tin Tustin-Fuchs, brand manager of Dulux Paints, says his rule of thumb is to use a base shade in about two-thirds of a room and then introduce other hues in smaller quantities. “To achieve an elegant, relaxing feel, try a monochromatic colour scheme with one main colour supported by others from the same family,” he says. “For a harmonious effect, combine colours located beside each other on the colour wheel. To create a dynamic look, choose complementary colours found directly across from one another on the wheel.” He also advises someone like Butler think about a

room’s function when choosing a hue. “Will (a buyer) be playing, sleeping, eating or relaxing in the space? Make sure you choose your colour accordingly,” Tustin-Fuchs says. “Yellow, red and orange as well as soft grey, violet, blue and green are known to be more conducive to appetitebuilding, entertaining and conversation. Bright red will energize and stimulate kids in a playroom, while cooler blues have a calming, serene effect. Golden yellows and warm apricots tend to flatter any skin tone in a bathroom.” For Alison Goldman, brand manager for CIL paint, the main thing to consider is what the buyer will think. “Don’t think of it as your house anymore. You’re

selling a product now.” Her suggestion is to paint with neutrals, but then to add interest using a bright colour in each room.

Moving out

Smooth moves begin before the van arrives Nicole Anzia The Washington Post Everywhere you look, forrent and for-sale signs are sprouting like spring and summer flowers and people are madly searching for movers. If you are moving, whether to an apartment or a house, upsizing or downsizing, planning is the most important thing you can do.

Packing 101 Start early. Packing always takes longer than people expect, and doing a little each day is much less stressful than trying to do it all right before your movers arrive. You’re going to need a lot of boxes and packing materials, and I mean a lot. Whatever your estimate is for what you think you need, double it. Really. Check local email groups for postings offering free moving boxes. If you are using a moving company, ask whether the boxes and packing supplies can be dropped off several weeks ahead of your scheduled move date, or order boxes and packing materials online. Make sure you have boxes in a variety of sizes, from book boxes to wardrobe boxes. Once you’re ready to pack, go room by room and pack similar things together. Start by packing the rooms and items that are not in daily use. Pack your kitchen last, and label each box clearly with the contents and where you want it in your new home. Be as specific about the contents of each box as possible, especially with kitchen items. It will make unpacking so much easier. And even though it should go without saying, don’t pack keys, computers, jewelry or important paperwork. Take them over to the house yourself and put them somewhere safe and out of the way so they’re not misplaced.

Clean out now Nothing motivates people to de-clutter and purge more than having to wrap, pack and unpack all of their possessions. You probably won’t have time to clean out every room or every closet, but if you haven’t used or worn something in a long time or no longer like it, don’t pay the movers to transport it. Set it aside to donate, give away or sell prior to your move.

Prepare the new home Whether you are buying or renting your new home, put some thought into any cosmetic changes that can be made before you move in. (Actually carrying out these changes might depend on how close your new place is to your current one.) Painting will be easier without furniture in the

If you are moving, whether to an apartment or a house, upsizing or downsizing, planning is the most important thing you can do — and remember to start the process early.

Start packing at least four weeks before your scheduled move. Make sure you have a variety of boxes for packing everything from books to wardrobes.

The moving calendar: ■■Eight weeks out: Start researching moving companies. Get at least two price quotes. ■■Six weeks out: Begin going through drawers, cabinets and closets to identify things you want to donate, give away or sell. Think about the layout of your new home and whether you need to sell or buy any major pieces of furniture. ■■Five weeks out: Choose a moving company and confirm the date. Be sure to get a price quote, arrival times and other details in writing. ■■Four weeks out: Get moving boxes and other packing materials. Start packing! room. Schedule a carpet cleaning at the new place and send rugs out for cleaning a couple of weeks before you move. If you’re considering refinishing hardwood floors, you need to do it before you move. And remember, you are going to need some kind of window treatments in bedrooms and bathrooms, so get started early if you need to have the windows measured and blinds or curtains professionally installed. Even if you’re going to do very temporary window coverings to begin with, know how many and what size you’ll need, especially in private spaces. And last but not least, thoroughly clean your new home before the move.

Plan the space To save time on moving day and to give yourself some peace of mind, plot where you are going to put everything in your new place. If possible, take measurements, especially of key walls or spaces where big pieces, such as a sectional or media cabinet, could be placed. You probably will have to improvise a little on moving day, but you don’t want to be debating furniture placement while the movers are being paid by the hour.

■■Three weeks out: Recruit friends and family to help unpack at the new place. ■■Two weeks out: Schedule a thorough cleaning of your new home. ■■One week out: Confirm your plans with moving company. Go to your new home and map out where everything will go in the kitchen. It’s easier to unpack when you know where you want to put everything. ■■One day out: Deliver essentials such as toilet paper, hand soap, garbage bags, garbage cans, shower curtains and toiletries to your new home. Also, take over valuables including jewelry, artwork and important paperwork.

The essentials A couple of days before the movers arrive, buy the essentials: paper towels, toilet paper, laundry detergent, garbage bags and cans and soap. Take them to your new home. Pack a couple of suitcases or boxes with clean sheets, blankets and pillows for each bed, bath towels and toiletries. That way, you won’t be scrambling to find your toothbrush and bedding at the end of your exhausting move day.

Organize the kitchen Prioritize getting your kitchen unpacked and organized. From my experience, very few people can function without a working kitchen. The sooner you can cook a meal in your new home, the sooner it will begin to start to feel like home. Before the move, take pictures of your new kitchen and think about where it makes most sense to put everything. For instance, plates and dishes can go in the appropriately sized cabinet nearest the dishwasher; glasses can go in an upper cabinet near the refrigerator. If you have time prior to the move, label the cabinets and drawers with sticky notes to indicate where you think the items will go. REG00214849_1_1
