Children’s clutter everywhere?

Storage tips for toys, clothes and more

A

By Mari-Jane Williams

Washington Post

lmost a year into this pandemic, we’ve had lots of time to look at our homes and contemplate what works and what doesn’t. And, of course, with everyone at home all day, every day, there’s more stuff everywhere.

School stuff. Work stuff. New hobby stuff.

Life stuff. Or at least it seems that way.

West Elm’s midcentury toy chest in acorn offers toy storage that can blend into the design of a more grown-up space.

later, for example. It’s fine to choose some fun, kid-themed smaller pieces to add some personality, but think longterm for bigger pieces; you want to choose items that will last five to 10 years or more, she says. And just because pieces aren’t kid-specific doesn’t mean they can’t be fun or interesting. Quirky

items in bright colors can add personality to a space. Don’t forget to anchor any large, bulky items securely to a wall to keep them from toppling over.

Here are some of Hysmith’s suggestions for functional and stylish storage solutions.

Parents, in particular, are constantly battling the tidal wave of kids’ clothes, toys and now schoolwork and supplies that threatens to take over every surface and room. I asked interior designer Andrea Hysmith, founder and owner of ASH Interiors and Design in Ellicott City, Md., what parents can do to contain the chaos.

A mom of a 14-year-old, Hysmith says one of the biggest mistakes people make is looking for kid-specific storage solutions, which seem cute and fun when you purchase them, but they don’t age well.

She’s now helping a client with 3-year-old twin girls. “I would love to have the girls in a cutesy pink polka-dot room, but what are their personalities going to be in two years, in five years?” she said. “They’re going to grow and change.”

For kid storage, look for pieces that don’t look “kiddie,” Hysmith says.

Shop with an eye toward evolving functions as your child ages – something that can store toys now, but will work for art supplies or books

com) has hooks for hanging clothes, jackets and backpacks, as well as baskets for art supplies, small toys and other items. Hysmith suggests adding decorative hardware to personalize it. And at 42 ½ inches tall, it’s easy for tiny hands to reach what they want and – perhaps more importantly – put things away.

Hysmith found the Unicorn Storage Collection ($49-$89, potterybarnkids.com) while shopping for a young niece.

She suggests using the smaller

basket or larger hamper to hold blankets, toys or books.

Both are made of natural water hyacinth fibers woven around a metal base.

A colorful rolling cart is a great place to corral art supplies, toiletries or toys, Hysmith said via email. The Container Store’s threetiered rolling cart ($34.99, containerstore.com), at 17 inches wide and 14 ¼ inches deep, would be easy to stash in the corner of a bedroom,

Welcoming ladybugs to the breakfast table

ADYBUG, LADYbug fly away home...” Whoops, she did! And her home is also my home and your home. With spring just around the corner, she’s awakening and coming indoors.

Ladybugs are such lovable creatures that we can’t call them a pest even when they act like one. Just now they’re creeping on windows along with cluster flies, also benign creatures but “pests” not at all welcome in my house.

Ladybugs do get even peskier indoors: I occasionally find them marching across a pillow just before I lay down my head or scuffling along the edge of a teacup just before I take a sip.

It’s not your imagination that the annual ladybug migration indoors has increased in recent years. These homebodies are one particular kind of ladybug, known officially as Asian multicolored lady beetles. Like other species of ladybugs, Asian multicolored lady beetle is friend to gardener and farmer, and she was deliberately introduced from Asia to help us out here.

She’s happy in her new home

It’s not your imagination that the annual ladybug migration indoors has increased in recent years. These homebodies are one particular kind of ladybug, known officially as Asian multicolored lady beetles. beetles are also know as Halloween beetles for their habit of clustering on walls in late October, preferably light colored walls that face southwest and are not too far Ladybugs are welcome predators of plant pests but not so welcome in our homes.

and thus far has escaped enough natural predators to let her numbers soar and spread.

Asian multicolored lady beetles are not easily distinguished from the 4,000 other ladybug species worldwide.

With a red, orange, or yel-

low-orange back dotted with anywhere from none to twenty dark spots, she looks like ... well ... a ladybug. Recognize her mostly as the ladybug that comes to your breakfast table.

This season’s encounters with lady beetles began last fall. Asian multicolored lady

from wooded areas. Later in the season, frosty weather drove them to seek shelter in cracks and small openings in the wall.

With spring just around the corner, the beetles are awakening. Perhaps bleary eyed, they don’t remember how they got into a wall, so as they creep around looking for light, some find their way into our homes.

These bugs could be looked upon as cute pets. And they wake up hungry, so will devour some aphids and scale insects.

Still, ladybugs don’t want to be indoors and neither do we really want them here – at least not so many. One way, then, to please ladybugs and SEE REICH, PAGE F6

The many faces of whirligigs

W

HIRLIGIGS were invented centuries ago.

They are both toys and tools, indicators of wind direction and the weather. Sources disagree on where the first were made; it was probably in China about 400 B.C. or by Native Americans about 550 B.C. The whirligig must have a spinning part and a base and many were made in fanciful shapes. The oldest known pictures of a whirligig were in tapestries made in medieval times.

There are many names and many shapes of whirligigs.

Old sources call them pinwheels, gee-haws, whirlyjigs or whirlys. Vintage examples have waving arms, flags, angels’ wings, a man chopping wood, horses running and much more. They are also popular children’s toys or garden ornaments.

A political whirligig was sold by Garth’s Auctions in Ohio a few years ago. It is a figure of President Theodore Roosevelt with a top hat and monocle riding on a penny farthing cycle. Roosevelt served from 1901 to 1909, so it must have been made after 1901. He is holding a red counterbalance vane that turns the bike with the wind.

The handmade whirligig sold at Garth’s for $865.

This folk art whirligig shows President Theodore Roosevelt with his monocle and top hat riding a cycle while holding a red paddle that catches the wind and spins. It sold at auction for hundreds of dollars.

then empty the vacuum cleaner bag outdoors.

For those into gadgetry, the U. S. Department of Agriculture has developed a blacklight trap. Ladybugs fly towards the light, bump into smooth plastic, vertical panels, then slide through a funnel into into a waiting bag which can be periodically emptied outdoors.

Spraying or smooshing is too brutal an act to inflict on a ladybug, and is

also foolish from a practical standpoint. Dead ladybugs stink and give off a yellow fluid that stains fabrics. If that’s not enough to jerk your hand off your sprayer or fly swatter, dead ladybugs also attract other insects. Carpet beetles, for instance, which, besides carpets and dead ladybugs, also dine on leather, soft wood, grains, and many other things. Not an insect you want to attract.

Mortgage rates came out of their doldrums in a big way this week.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average climbed to 2.81% with an average 0.7 point.

(Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount and are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.73% a week ago and 3.49% a year ago. The 30-year fixed rate has not been this high since Nov. 12, around the time Pfizer announced results from its coronavirus vaccine trial.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national average mortgage rates. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

Because the survey is based on home purchase mortgages, rates for refinances may be higher. The price adjustment for refinance transactions that went into effect in December is adding to the cost. The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount.

That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan.

The 15-year fixed-rate average rose to 2.21% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.19% a week ago and 2.99% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average slipped to 2.77% with an average 0.2 point. It was 2.79% a week ago and 3.25% a year ago.
