Brighten Up The Long Winter Months With These Three Simple DIY Projects

(NAPS)—The winter season is here and with it brings cooler temperatures and shorter days. For many of us, winter means spending less time outdoors and more time inside with family and entertaining friends. To make the winter months more enjoyable for everyone in your home, try these DIY projects that will add subtle character and help brighten up the gray days ahead: Warm Decor: Your front door isn’t the only place for a wreath during the winter months. Add a little bit of cheer and warmth to your home by hanging a winter-inspired wreath on your mantel, or in an unexpected place like above your couch or over a large, decorative mirror.

• What You’ll Need: Krylon® Glitter Blast™ in Diamond Dust, Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Clear Sealer, a hot glue gun, a Styrofoam wreath, pinecones, dried cranberries and three faux cardinals.

• What You’ll Do: First, coat the pinecones with Krylon® Glitter Blast™ in Diamond Dust. This spray paint creates a sparkling glitter finish that makes ordinary objects more festive. Wait 20 minutes for the paint to dry and then coat the pinecones with Krylon® Glitter Blast™ Clear Sealer. The sealer will help protect the pinecones and preserve the sparkle and hue of the paint. Once the sealer is dry, hot glue the pinecones, dried cranberries and faux cardinals to the Styrofoam wreath. Lastly, hang the wreath for all to admire.

Bring the Outdoors In: Adding natural touches throughout your home can bring tranquility and an earthy feel to your living space. From shells to antlers to florals, natural elements are subtle pieces that can bring a casual comfort to your home. Try this enchanted forest arrangement to bring the essence of the outdoors into your home.

• What You’ll Need: Krylon® Chalky Finish Paint in Misty Gray, tall glass vase and a bushel of branches.

• What You’ll Do: First, spray the branches with Krylon® Chalky Finish Paint in Misty Gray to give them an ultramatte distressed finish and earthy look. Once the branches dry, place them in the vase to create a forest inspired arrangement.

Light up the Room: Nothing is more comforting than a cozy fire and a warm wool blanket. Bring those toasty elements into your home with a set of DIY antiqued votive candle holders. They will create a beautiful and peaceful winter ambience as the days become shorter and the longer nights set in.

• What You’ll Need: Krylon® Sea Glass Finish paint in Ice, three glass votive candle holders (two small, one larger), newspaper and three LED candles.

• What You’ll Do: First, cover the top of the candle holders with newspaper. Next, spray the outside of the candle holder with a light coating of Sea Glass Finish spray paint. Wait a few minutes for the paint to dry and then cover with a second coat of paint to achieve a smooth, powdery finish. This paint will give your glass items a beautiful, sophisticated look with a semi-translucent frosted finish that allows light to filter through. Once dry, place the LED candles in the votive holder for a warm holiday glow.

Water Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to the wood prior to staining to ensure even stain color penetration and reduce grain raising on both soft and hardwoods. Then apply the stain in the color of your choice. To complete your project, topcoat with Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish for long-lasting beauty and protection.

Show Off Your Artsy Side. Create decor that you will be proud of and want to show off. One simple way to do this is to create a wood art project to use as wall decor. Whether you create a wooden frame for a prized photo or a trendy wooden sign, use Minwax® Wood Finishing Cloths to complete your project. They are easy-to-use cloths that come pre-moistened with stain and finish— even gloves are included! Minwax® Wood Finishing Cloths make completing a wood finishing project quick and convenient—in one easy step. Simply wipe on the stain and then wipe off the excess, and let it dry for an hour. Once the stain dries, hang your creation on the wall and sit back to admire it!

Bring the Outdoors In. A simple way to liven a room is by bringing nature in with flowers or plants. Create a colorful indoor planter box that doubles as wall decor. To ensure even stain color penetration and reduce grain raising, start by applying a coat of Minwax® Water Based Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to a lightweight unfinished planter box. Then stain the wood with Minwax® Water Based Wood Stain in a bright hue such as Daffodil to add a splash of color to the room.

For both beauty and protection, don’t forget to topcoat your project with Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish. Once the finish dries, fill the box with your favorite potted flowers or indoor plants.

Small Paint Projects To Transform Your Space

(NAPS)—Giving your home personality and adding a dash of character can be achieved easily and affordably with small paint projects.

The experts at Dutch Boy Paint are a great resource for unique project ideas and helpful how-tos that will assist you with transforming your space into a haven that reflects your personality and style.

1. The Grand Entrance: Personalize your front door by painting it an unexpected hue. It will bring character and personality to your home and offer fresh curb appeal.

Color expert Sue Wadden suggests a stately shade, such as red or purple, to wake up a simple cottage-style door and accentuate a front garden. A bold yellow hue that has warmer undertones can energize an otherwise neutral exterior, and a bright pop of orange makes for an unexpected statement.

Complement your newly painted front door with colorful, eye-catching address numbers. Choose a color that complements the front door or a contrasting hue that offers an interesting accent. Numbers may be painted directly onto the door or a section of siding.

2. Make a Splash: The kitchen is the perfect place to have some fun with color since it’s often the communal area of a home. Instead of traditional tile, cook up a scene-stealing space by giving your backsplash a makeover. Stencil in a design, favorite quote or food-inspired words.

Don’t forget to consider the other colors at play in the space before selecting the backsplash paint color. If the kitchen has dark cabinets, choose a lighter shade to keep the room from feeling heavy. For white or light-color cabinets, both brighter and darker paint colors work well for this space; and for a pop of brightness that’s also durable and stain resistant, use Dutch Boy Platinum Paint in semi-gloss.

If you have the whole weekend, further customize your kitchen by painting the island a hue that complements the other colors in the room. If you’d like to keep the space neutral, select a subtle shade for the island such as cream, beige or gray. Or, if you’re looking to be a bit more daring, choose a shade such as turquoise, navy blue or mint. A striking color will make the room feel fun and inviting. You can also incorporate the island color in a few new accessories such as a rug, curtains or dishware to create a feeling of harmony throughout the room.

3. Rethink your Wardrobe: For an element of surprise, paint the interior of your closet. A vibrant shade will dress up your everyday routine and give your wardrobe an exceptional room of its own!

4. More to Adore: Make a personal statement in the bedroom by transforming walls into exceptional works of art.

Instead of adorning walls with framed artwork, paint a multicolored diamond or chevron pattern for an unexpected pop of color. A frame wall with favorite pictures or prized album covers centered in painted blocks puts a spin on the traditional. Or create big-time graphic impact with an oversized DIY wall clock.

Add perceived dimension to a room by creating nontraditional stripes with three or even four colors. Angled stripes painted in different widths are less structured and provide a unique design, and an exaggerated single stripe of color can rescue plain walls.

A headboard painted directly onto the wall creates an element of decorative surprise in the bedroom, and a stenciled one can add definition and polish. Choose from a premade design, such as a rectangle or whimsical silhouette, or create your own. No matter the shape, a bold hue or using two shades of the same color are both visually interesting and impactful.

With Dutch Boy Paint’s unique paint project ideas and wide variety of paint colors and finishes, the possibilities of creating a distinct identity for your home that embodies your personality and lifestyle are easy. ®

Three Pinterest-Worthy Cleaning Hacks (NAPS)—The snow is thawing, birds are chirping and winter’s effects on your house are more noticeable than ever. Muddy shoes, holiday parties and Christmas crafts are coming back to haunt you as new stains and odors. That’s why you’ll love these hassle-free spring-cleaning hacks to make your house shine again.

1. Use Leftover Bags to Declutter. Stains and dust bunnies will be invisible until the clutter has cleared. Use leftover holiday shopping bags and gift boxes to help you declutter. One for “put this away,” a second for “throw this away” and a third for “give this away.”

2. Arm Your Arsenal with Enzymes. Enzymes work without you, so choose a non-toxic, enzyme-based cleaner like KIDS ’N’ PETS Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover to give clothes, couches and carpets new life. Spray on spots or add to your laundry detergent or carpet cleaning machine and let the enzymes work their magic.

3. Dusters Are so Last Year. Toss your duster this spring and switch to a lint roller to remove dust and grime from surfaces such as bookshelves, fireplaces, tables, lamps and more, plus it’s a great solution for removing pet hair from furniture.

Find KIDS ’N’ PETS Instant All-Purpose Stain & Odor Remover at Walmart.

(NAPS)—Home renovations can be exciting and while they can also be messy for your home heating and cooling system, there are steps you can take to minimize the dirt.

Before Construction Begins: 1. Meet with an HVAC contractor to learn the best way to protect your system.

2. Close and cover vents and registers, especially in rooms that will be most impacted by the renovation, to help keep dust and debris out of your ductwork.

3. Contain the dust by hanging plastic tarps or sheets to isolate the work area and keep dust away from the rest of the house.

After Construction Begins: 4. Turn your HVAC system off to eliminate circulating air, which tends to pick up dirt and debris and transfer it to your ductwork. If you need to run the system, consult your HVAC contractor to determine which vents should remain open.

5. Keep the messy work outside by asking your construction contractor to sand and cut building materials in your garage or yard. This will minimize the amount of dirt in the renovated space.

6. Regularly clean the renovated space to help prevent construction dirt from being walked through the rest of your house.

7. Clean or change air filters to keep particles from entering your ductwork. Dirt is a by-product of any renovation project, regardless of your efforts. That’s why it’s important to regularly change or clean the air filters in your HVAC system during construction and again when the renovation is complete.

8. Inspect your HVAC system at the end of construction to be sure it’s clean. Your HVAC contractor can do this for you.

9. Clean your ductwork to eliminate the possibility of construction dust and debris circulating through your HVAC system.

10. Check sizes to be sure your current HVAC system We’ve been making home loans since our bank is sized properly to accommodate your renovated space, was chartered in 1886. especially if rooms have been over added or walls removed.

Stop Slips And Falls

Serving Southeast Kansas

(NAPS)—Five simple steps can help keep you from dangerous falls: 1. Don’t let things you can trip over— papers, books, clothes, shoes— accumulate on stairs.

2. Have handrails on all staircases.

3. Use nonslip mats in the bathtub and on shower floors.

4. Make sure halls, stairs and the like are well lit.

5. Improve your traction on the ice. To help, there’s an innovative, patent-pending product made with 100 percent natural earth crystals.

Environmentally safe—no salts, chemicals or dyes—it creates traction for cars and pedestrians when on icy roads, driveways, walkways, patios, sidewalks, everywhere your feet or wheels take you.

It’s also easy and quick to apply, pet and child safe (it won’t burn paws as salt can), and guaranteed to work in all temperatures.

Rather than melting ice, these all-natural crystals absorb the liquid layer and then, with their spiky ends, bury themselves into the ice sheet, providing a stable nonslip surface similar to sandpaper, though it’s cleaner than sand. You can even sweep it up and reuse it.

What’s more, this Traction Magic from Gaia Enterprises now comes in a handy travel size. Just pop it in your trunk and hit the road with more confidence.

It’s available at convenience stores, supermarkets, car washes, hardware stores and Amazon.com.

Simple Tips to Creating a Room That’s Truly “You” with Paint Color

(NAPS)—When it comes to transforming your home with design and paint projects, selecting paint color is easier than you think; and with a few expert tips and simple steps, you’ll gain the confidence needed to transform your home with colors that reflect both your personality and lifestyle.

1. Setting the Stage: Before heading to the paint aisle, consider the mood and functionality of the room you are looking to transform.

Are you seeking a restful and calming haven in the bedroom? Do you prefer a sociable and stimulating environment in the dining area?

Maybe it’s a combination of both in the living room? Understanding the purpose of the room—both in the mood it conveys and the function it serves—will help you hone in on colors that are best suited for it.

If you aren’t sure, you can start by looking for a favorite item in the room—a piece of furniture, a rug or beloved artwork—to use as the centerpiece to build around. This item provides a potential starting point to help determine the color palette or hues to work with.

And don’t forget to take a step back and look at the other paint colors in your home. A balanced color scheme that seamlessly connects one space to the next creates a sense of continuity and harmony throughout the home. Choose between three and five favorite colors and then alternate between rooms. Perhaps the ceiling color in one room becomes an accent wall in another.

2. Selecting the Color: Color expert Sue Wadden explains that color selection is a very personal choice but there is also a method to picking the color that fits best with the mood, tone and function of a room. Here is her take on the most popular paint color groups: • Red is viewed as an exciting, vibrant color with a passionate feel. The deepest reds, such as burgundy and maroon, give a feeling of richness—excellent for bringing out the competitive spirit in a game room.

• Orange radiates cheerfulness and boldness but can still be subdued and calming. A vibrant orange fills a space, such as a dining room, with energy and a sunny disposition while a softer orange brings a feeling of warmth and coziness to a living room.

• Yellow is a warm and inviting color that brings a sense of optimism and joy to the space it inhabits. Softer yellow tones convey happiness while giving the room a sophisticated and timeless look. Brighter shades have the ability to fill virtually any room in the house with a feeling of bliss.

• Cool earthen tones of green add a splash of nature to the room, giving it a sense of comfort and harmony. When looking to create an atmosphere that is both soothing and sunny, try incorporating several shades of green.

• Lighter shades of blue evoke feelings of serenity and comfort when used in the bedroom. These calming tones make for a relaxing way to end the day and a great way to encourage a restful night’s sleep. Brighter hues bring warmth and a sunny temperament to the room.

• Purple is a versatile color that anchors a space but also compliments the use of neutrals and patterns. It conveys a feeling of luxury and refinement while still giving the room a fresh, soft look.

• Similar to green, brown is associated with nature. This relaxed neutral is a great color to incorporate into spaces in the home that are for both living and working. Darker hues look sophisticated and stylish while lighter shades give the space a warm and modern vibe.

• Gray is an elegant neutral that provides depth when paired with subtle accent colors. It evokes feelings of sophistication and airiness to create a haven of relaxation and calm.

Warm Up Winter With Fun Party Plans & Gifts

Support your local Realtor!

Don’t forget to tell them you saw their ad in The Real Estate Guide!

(NAPS)—You don’t have to let the cold and dark get you down: You can celebrate the season with a party. Whether you just invite a few friends for drinks and snacks or go for a sit-down dinner—or if you’re a guest at someone else’s soiree—the planning and anticipation can be almost as enjoyable as the evening itself. Here are some hints that can help: • For your centerpiece, you can get a Welcome Winter Margarita. It’s a popular cocktail bouquet, filled with a blizzard of crisp white blooms, inspired by the serene beauty of the season. Fresh white roses, Stargazer lilies, poms and carnations mix and mingle with pinecones and silvery accents in an oversized margarita glass to toast birthdays, snow days or any day in a truly original way.

Find it at www.1800flowers.com/ welcome-wintermargarita-145133.

• For a great hostess gift, there’s the Popcorn Factory Snowflake 2-Gallon, 3-Flavor Popcorn Tin. Popcorn cheer and a jubilant Snowflake design combine to form a tasteful treat for any popcorn lover and friends. The flavors include butter popcorn, cheese popcorn and caramel popcorn. It’s at www.thepopcornfactory.com/snowflake-popcorn-tinstpf-65055.

• To host a fine wine tasting or give to your favorite wine connoisseur, there’s the Uncommon Distinction Wine Market Basket. A stunning market basket holds a Cabernet and a Chardonnay, a unique wine bottle–shaped wood cutting board, serving napkin, a set of acrylic wine glasses, delicious chocolate wafer rolls, Cabernet cheddar cheese spread, water crackers, cashews and more.

You can get it from www. 1800baskets.com/uncommondistinction-wine-market-basket-149043.

• Getting a warm welcome from those thirsty for something more is a selection of iconic hot winter drinks from Harry & David. The Harry & David Holiday Beverages package includes two seasonal coffee gift favorites, Harry’s Christmas Blend and Pumpkin, plus peppermint cocoa and the popular spiced tea for a season’s worth of warm drinks.

2332 11500 Rd - Oswego, Kansas A Guide to Winterizing Your Outdoor Living Space (NAPS)—Falling leaves and dipping temperatures signal the turn of the season and with that comes the need to prepare your home for winter. Your outdoor living space is no exception; it’s an area you spent months enjoying with summer barbecues and gatherings. All that foot traffic wear and tear and direct sunlight can take a toll on any deck, but with a few easy tips, you can safeguard this area of your home and prepare it for the harsh winter weather ahead.

• Protect Your Deck-cessories: Excess moisture and freezing temperatures can bring a host of problems for the items in your outdoor space, including furniture, grills and planters. It’s important to guard these investments and make sure they stay protected for years to come.

For areas that experience extreme weather, it’s best to store furniture and cushions indoors to prevent snow accumulation or cover them with a water-resistant material to prevent damage from the elements. For milder climates, protect smaller outdoor wooden items, such as garden boxes, birdhouses and wooden benches, by sealing with Thompson’s WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector—Clear Aerosol.

Before the first freeze, move plants that can be easily transplanted indoors. Outdoor planters that are too big to bring inside can be wrapped with a heavily insulated material, like burlap, and moved to an area of the space that will allow them to still get enough direct sunlight.

• Clean Your Grill: Thoroughly clean the racks of your grill with a grill brush and coat the burners and other metal parts with cooking oil to repel moisture and prevent rust. If it’s a gas grill, turn it on and let the last of the gas burn off. Remove the tank from a propane grill and store outdoors, away from the house. Tape a plastic bag over the gas line opening to keep curious critters from nesting there. No matter the grill type, a heavy-duty vinyl cover should keep it safe and dry all winter long.

• Defend the Surface: Heavy foot traffic, barbecue grill stains and exposure to the elements can not only ruin the deck’s appearance, but also create the perfect environment for the growth of mold and mildew. HGTV/DIY network star Jeff Wilson notes that these conditions make it important to thoroughly clean the remnants of a summer well spent and get your deck ready for winter. And it’s the perfect time of year to tackle this outdoor project with the heat of summer giving way to cooler fall temperatures.

Coating your deck with a premium product like Thompson’s WaterSeal Penetrating Timber Oil not only nourishes and beautifies wood with a unique triple blend of fast-absorbing oils, but it also includes waterproofing protection against ice, snow and sleet that can penetrate an unprotected surface and cause splitting and cracking of the wood.

Taking the time to winterize your outdoor living space will not only protect your investment, but it will also give you peace of mind knowing that your decorating and designing efforts made during the warmer months will not go to waste because of harsh winter elements.

Both Thompson’s WaterSeal Waterproofing Wood Protector—Clear Aerosol and Thompson’s WaterSeal Penetrating Timber Oil are available at The Home Depot. Thompson’s WaterSeal Penetrating Timber Oil is available in five colors: Natural, Teak, Pecan, Walnut and Redwood.

Wood Finishing Tips That Will Have You and Your Guests Floored (NAPS)—While often overlooked, your floors are your home’s greatest canvas and one of its true untapped features. Replacing your hardwood floors can be expensive and time consuming, but refinishing them will not only restore the richness and elegance of the wood to a beautiful appearance, it will also protect it from everyday wear and add value to your home.

To ensure that your floor finishing is a success, consider these tips from Minwax® spokesperson and wood finishing expert, Bruce Johnson: • Test it First: Always test any stain you are considering on an inconspicuous spot, such as in a closet. All woods react differently to stain, so what you see on a sample in the store or online may not be the same as how your wood accepts and responds to the stain you apply.

• Sand Away: Don’t skimp on the sanding before you stain.

Stains depend on open pores for adequate absorption and only by sanding off any old finish can the pores be opened to receive your new coat of stain. Never sand after you apply your stain.

• Brush it Off: Dust is the enemy of a smooth finish. To remove all the sanding dust from the pores and joints, use the bristle attachment on a shop vacuum. Then wipe the floor with a clean, damp cloth.

• Note the Exit: Plan carefully so you can exit the room without walking across wet stain. Also plan to complete the staining of the entire room in one session to avoid lap marks that are darker in color.

• Timing is Everything: Keep in mind that the final color of any stain is determined in part by how much stain the wood absorbs. The longer the stain sits on the wood, the darker and richer the color will be. During your test, note the amount of time that lapses between applying the stain and wiping off the excess so you can repeat this for the color you desire.

• Remove Excess Stain: Never let stain sit on the wood for longer than the label directions recommend. And always remove any stain that the wood does not absorb. Allowing stain to dry on the wood surface will prevent your clear protective finish from adhering.

• Between the Lines: When staining in sections, stop your stain application at a joint between two boards rather than in the middle of one board. Individual boards may accept the stain slightly differently, so a slight change in color between boards will not be as noticeable as a change in color created by stopping in the middle of a board.

• Give it Time: Do not apply your first coat of clear protective finish until the stain is completely dry. If a clear finish is applied over a wet stain, the stain will be pulled back out of the pores of the wood and will mix with the finish, creating a ‘muddy’ effect.

Or worse, your protective finish may not adhere to the floor. You should allow 24 hours for your stain to dry before applying the finish.

• Protect Your Floor: Stain adds color to wood but will not protect your floor from foot traffic, spills and everyday wear.

For the best results, apply Minwax® Ultimate Floor Finish, a technologically advanced topcoat for floors that provides a crystal clear finish with superior durability. It dries in just two hours, and cleans up with soap and water. Minwax® Ultimate Floor Finish is certified to Greenguard standards for low chemical emission into indoor air during product usage.

Tips For Making 2016 Your Most Beautiful And Healthy Year Ever (NAPS)—As one of the world’s most-photographed supermodels, Rachel Hunter has spent most of her professional life focused on fashion and beauty. She’s graced the covers of Elle, Cosmopolitan, Sports Illustrated’s famous swimsuit issues and many more publications. Now, for her new Ovation TV series—“Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty”—the New Zealander goes on a quest to discover the secrets of lasting beauty, great health and extraordinary longevity in diverse cultures around the world.

With many people looking to the New Year as a time to create some new, positive and healthy habits, Hunter offers some of the most eye-opening tips and tricks she learned on her “tour of beauty” around the globe.

From superfoods to anti-aging treatments to spirituality, these are some of Rachel’s favorite discoveries for looking good and feeling great in 2016 and beyond.

Superfoods—“In many of the places I went, I was introduced to so-called ‘superfoods’—that is, foods that are nutrient rich and low calorie. They are also superior sources of antioxidants and essential nutrients. In Dubai, I learned nigella seeds, or black cumin as most people in the West know it, pack a powerful nutritional punch and are said to be a remedy for ‘everything but death’! In Dubai, I was introduced to the benefits of camel’s milk. It has 10 times the iron of cow’s milk and is surprisingly delicious!”

Anti-aging—“There were so many amazing products all over the world that claimed to have anti-aging properties.

Some were just not for me—like drinking a tea made of dried frogs in Korea—and some just plain outrageous—like the $7,000 pure gold facial I had in Dubai. But my two favorite discoveries were dilo nut oil, made from the ‘tree of a thousand virtues’ in Fiji, and argan oil, made from trees only found in Morocco. Both are luxurious oils you can use on your skin and hair for a youthful, glowing complexion and silky hair.”

Inner beauty and long life—“Wherever I went, I found a reoccurring theme: The real key to beauty, health and longevity is in your own head! Whether it was learning to meditate in India or celebrating family and friendships in Greece, China and Brazil, radiant beauty and great health were directly related to inner peace and living a joyful life. And that’s something we can all strive for in the New Year!”

For more of Rachel’s insights on beauty, health and longevity, tune in to Ovation TV for the premiere of “Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty.” Visit www.ovationtv.com for more information.
