Add Value To Your Home (NAPS)—When you want to add value to your home, a few easy remodeling tips can help you get the most out of the money you spend on renovations. • An Updated Kitchen—Great rooms are becoming more popular, so consider joining the dining room with the kitchen to get added living space in the room that is used most often. This change can improve a home’s appeal entirely. • Storage Space—A stuffy old attic or basement that hasn’t been cleaned out in years is a waste of valuable space. Start by clearing out your storage areas and organizing their contents. • Window Shutters—One of the best ways to add value is at the window. The refreshed, fashionable Palm Beach polysatin shutters with the DuraLux finish by Hunter Douglas are virtually indistinguishable from finely painted ones—making these shutters an excellent investment choice for your home. • Modern Bathrooms—Updating simple fixtures, such as a faucet or sink, or adding a bath, will significantly increase value as well as add style.

Big News Of Small Spaces (NAPS)—Living large in a little home may not only simplify life, minimize costs and reduce environmental impact, it can be easier to achieve than many realize. Following these easy tips can help make rooms feel bigger and brighter. 1. Open floor plans and furniture placement that leaves views open make spaces easy to navigate and the room feel bigger. 2. Lighten up. Light colors on walls and furniture help small spaces feel large. Letting in natural light extends the feel of the room beyond its boundaries. 3. Get double-duty furniture: tables and ottomans with hidden storage space. Clean spaces look bigger, so keep clutter out of sight. 4. Store smart and stay organized. Shelving units maximize wall space for storage; add baskets on the bottom shelves for extra capacity. Fill clear containers with seasonal clothing and items and slide them under couches and beds. 5. Convert a closet into a home office by adding a desk and shelves. Hang organizers on the back of the door for extra storage. Close the door and the computer and paperwork are out of sight, instantly opening up the room. For more tips on making the most of small spaces, visit the www.homes.com Idea Gallery.

How To Design A Bedroom That Unleashes Your Child’s Creativity (NAPS)—Many parents may be surprised to learn that, according to Harris research, children begin taking an interest in changing their rooms just after the age of 5, citing more space to hang out and play as the No. 1 wish for the space. The study also found that 71 percent of parents think the design of a child’s room impacts creativity. “We’ve seen how room design can unleash a child’s creativity in our own family,” said Cortney Novogratz from HGTV’s “Home by Novogratz.” “For example, it’s important to give children their own workspace and play space filled with materials designed to help express their ideas in a productive and inspirational way, like arts and crafts supplies and construction toys such as LEGO Friends. It’s also important to give children plenty of floor space in which to play and get creative; this gives them their own personal space in which to spread out and use their imaginations to the fullest.” In addition to inviting children to put their remodeling and re building skills to the test using toys that encourage construction, Robert and Cortney Novogratz offer these suggestions for creating those special environments that children will find inspiring and parents will find appealing: • Give kids more space. Leave as much floor space open for playing and hanging out as possible. Center the room with a soft rug and include easy storage solutions. The most effective storage is easily accessible to kids, where they can pull it out, play with their toys and be able to put it back without any help. The best storage solutions do not dominate the room but cleverly do the job without taking up too much space. Kids need room to build, paint, create and so on but they also need supplies to do so, so try to keep storage solutions simple. • Show children their ideas have value by including them in the design decision-making process as much as possible, letting them offer their ideas. Bear in mind that boys and girls are equally interested in having a say in the design of their rooms. If you make your children a part of the creation process, they may be more likely to take better care of their their belongings. We’ve beenenvironment making homeand loans since our bank • Personalize with color and was chartered in 1886. collections. Embrace bold colors and don’t forget to have fun with it.

(NAPS)—Electrical failures and malfunctions are a leading cause of house fires year after year—but you can stay safe at home. Many electrical fires can be prevented simply by understanding basic electrical safety principles and following safe practices. Keep Home Fires From Burning To help you protect your home and family from electrical fires, the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) offers these tips: • Safety should always be the top priority when working with electricity. ESFI recommends that a qualified, licensed electrician perform all home electrical work in compliance with local and national safety standards. • Consider having your circuit breakers replaced with arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), which provide enhanced electrical fire protection by detecting dangerous arcing conditions. • Make sure all electrical panel circuits are properly labeled. Always replace fuses or circuit breakers with the correct size and amperage. • Keep the area around the electrical panel clear so you can easily shut off power in an emergency. • Every month, use the TEST button to check that ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and AFCIs are working properly. • Look for warning signs of an electrical problem, such as outlets and switches that are warm or make crackling, sizzling or buzzing noises. • Regularly check cords, outlets, switches, and appliances for signs of damage. Do not use damaged electrical devices. • Do not use extension cords on a permanent basis and never use them with space heaters or air conditioners. • Avoid overloading outlets. • Do not use lightbulbs that exceed the recommended wattage of the light fixture or lamp. What to Do in Case of Fire Despite your best prevention efforts, a fire could still happen. Follow these five tips to make sure your family is prepared to make a safe escape: 1. Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the house. 2. Test smoke alarms every month. 3. Create a family fire escape plan that includes two ways out of each room. 4. Pick an easy-to-find meeting place outside, a safe distance from your home. 5. Practice your escape plan by having at least two fire drills a year. Start one fire drill at night while your family is sleeping.

(NAPS)—Investing a little time and effort in monitoring the condition of your roof can pay big dividends when it comes to your home and your family’s well-being. Industry professionals believe it’s a good idea to inspect your roof regularly, particularly if you live in areas of the country that experience extreme weather. You can inspect your roof yourself, either by climbing on your roof or by using binoculars from the ground. Another sound option is to have a professional do it for you. If you do go up on the roof yourself, remember to always use proper safety equipment to prevent falls or injury. Learn to Read the Signs Look carefully for the following signs your roof may be in need of repair or replacement: • Leaks in the attic after a wind-driven rain or ice buildup; • Blistering and peeling of interior and/or exterior paint; • Stains, mold or mildew on interior ceilings and walls; • Exterior decay of sheathing and/or siding. When it comes to examining the roof itself, start by looking at the shingles for any that are missing, cracked, curled, torn or warped. Also, look for any open seams or joints that could lead to leaking. Popped or rusted nails, or stains around nails, are also signs that your roof is in need of repair or replacement. A Roof Is More Than Shingles Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a roof is more than just the shingles. A roof is actually a system that, in addition to the shingles, includes other components, such as leak barriers and ventilation components. While each element has a particular job to do, they are also designed to work together to cover a house.

Consumers Have Affordable Options When It Comes To Floor Covering
(NAPS)—Buttery-soft carpet, weathered hardwood and hard-as-diamonds surface treatments are some of the latest trends consumers will encounter the next time they shop for floor covering. That’s the word from scouts and experts attending one of the home market’s top international flooring trade shows—Surfaces. The show is sponsored by the World Floor Covering Association (WFCA). Reports from the show offer some insight on the latest products and trends in flooring. Less Is More Companies are concentrating on products that are sensible, low maintenance and easy on the budget. The new products making headlines include supersoft carpets that clean up “good as new” with lifetime stain warranties; affordable vinyl mimicking genuine stone; hardwood with precision detailing; and hard-surface flooring that has built-in antimicrobial properties. Vinyl flooring today offers the look of stone, ceramic tiles and hardwood—sometimes so closely that you have to get on your hands and knees to tell the difference. These products can put good looks at the feet of all homeowners at a fraction of the cost and with less maintenance than their higher-cost authentic cousins. Prices have come down on many eco-friendly floors thanks to high demand in the commercial industry. As a result, more people can install top-quality hardwood, bamboo or cork for several dollars per square foot less than a year ago. High Style, Low Maintenance A number of products across all flooring categories promise to cut maintenance, cleaning and care time. For example, hardwood manufacturers have introduced surface treatments that are as hard as diamonds. There are even new products said to have wear layers that can withstand just about any kind of wear and tear—large families, animals, dirt and grime. Other surfaces, including laminate and vinyl, are touting easy-to-maintain wear-surface durability. Some are equipped with built-in antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, as well as stain resistance. In the carpet category, new products have built-in stain resistance, odor reducers, air fresheners and luxuriously soft fibers that maintain their integrity for years. Weathered and Reclaimed Weathered and distressed floors are taking hold across multiple categories. This finish increases sturdiness and allows the product to withstand the high traffic and heavy wear of large families and pets. In addition to distressed looks, homeowners now have the option of “reclaimed” wood floors. These floors are recycled from dismantled buildings, disassembled furniture, wood and agricultural scrap. Repurposing saves money, is green and offers unique, designer-quality looks. High Style and Durable Luxury Manufacturers are also introducing flooring of all varieties with add-ons such as fur, tassels, 14K gold and Swarovski crystals. Hard surfaces, including tile, are incorporating precious metals while soft surfaces, like carpet and area rugs, are showcasing jewelry-grade crystals, animal skins and metallic fibers in the final products. “Consumer demands for durability, low maintenance and lower prices have led to innovation and variety across all categories,” said Tom Jennings of the WFCA. Jennings says that consumers expect their A Branch of First Neodesha Bank purchases to withstand the test of time and be eco friendly. As a result, manufacturers www.fnb-ks.com have created a variety of low-maintenance, affordable options that meet the demand for comfort and style.

Tasteful Ways To Make Your Kitchen Last
(NAPS)—According to U.S. Census Bureau reports, Americans are not moving from one home to another nearly as much as they used to. For many, that means it’s important to make sure the home they’re in—and particularly the kitchen—is built to last. Fortunately, there are a number of ways to do that. For example: • When you get down to it, a porcelain floor may sound fragile, but because these floor tiles are fired at an extremely high temperature, they’re remarkably durable, lasting for decades and impervious to water, foot traffic and other things that can floor a floor. • Take your counters for granite. These not only look good, they’re resistant to heat and stains, very low maintenance and last for a very long time. • Consider laminate for your cabinets. Laminates are low in cost, nonporous—which is important when it comes to safe food preparation—easy to clean and available in a rainbow of colors and styles. • It’s great to be good to your grout. If your backsplash is tile, seal the grouting so it can stand up to water. • Up against the wall, it pays to put the best paint possible. The higher the quality, the longer it’s likely to last. • Be smart about the sink. It’s probably the most-used appliance in the house and often has to take a lot of abuse—but it can still be stylish. For example, you can get a stone composite sink made of a patented material that resists chips, stains, heat and the effects of everyday kitchen use and comes in seven attractive shades. Durable and reliable, it’s 80 percent granite for the look and feel of natural stone and 20 percent a patented formula that makes it even stronger than the countertop around it. Each sink comes with a lifetime warranty so you can buy with total confidence. Called Silgranit II and available from Blanco, the sink is colored all the way through, so it won’t fade, even in direct sunlight, and is resistant to food acids. The advanced surface technology means it’s nonporous, easy to clean and extremely hygienic. What The Expert Says As Susan Serra, certified kitchen designer, says, “I’ve lived with Blanco sinks for well over 20 years. I’m most impressed with Silgranit II.”

Easy Tiling Ideas
(NAPS)—Renovations don’t have to be costly, messy and time consuming. There are ways to avoid the headaches often associated with home upgrades. Tiles are a great way to add a punch of personality to your home and many tiling projects can be completed in just one day. With a few tools and some elbow grease, you can breathe new life and flair into any room. Get creative inspiration with simple tiling projects you can use to liven up your home: 1. Call attention to one wall of a room with a bold tile accent. Be daring with patterns, or make it modern with subway tiles. 2. Tile the kitchen backsplash to add color and protect the wall from cooking messes. Bondera TileMatSet, a double-sided, peel- and-stick tiling adhesive is a great tool to use instead of mortar and mastic, eliminating the mess and allowing you to grout immediately after positioning the tiles. 3. Modernize old trivets by using the tile adhesive to create a custom tiled pattern that pops against tableware. 4. Explore your creative side by designing a charming tile pattern on an old tabletop, which will add pizzazz to lunches and evening drinks.
