Courtesy of Realtor.com Do the colors in your home play well together? If not, you might have a missing link. Linking rooms with color may not seem very important if your rooms can be separated by closing doors. If you can see from one room into another, however, the color relationships between those rooms affect whether your living space feels smoothly harmonious or jarringly chopped up. Using unrelated colors in adjoining rooms can make the house feel like a disjointed series of spaces, while colors that relate to each other draw the eye from one room to the next and create a pleasing flow. Creating a flow: In a house with an open floor plan or one in which rooms connect through wide openings, it's even more important to choose colors that relate to each other in a pleasing way. In this situation, the challenge is to give each space its own identity according to its function and still achieve a feeling of unity. Use a thread of color COLOR CUES - Give each room its own color personality while ensuring a cohesive feeling by using a single hue as a theme that runs throughout. SELECT YOUR FAVORITE - If you love lots of color, you can still achieve flow by choosing one hue to be a unifying thread

that runs from room to room. Usually this unifying element is the woodwork -- baseboards, door and window frames, and molding at the ceiling. The connection can be more subtle, too, such as a recurring color in the fabrics, accessories, and furniture in each room. You also can achieve a feeling of continuity by limiting your palette to two or three colors that you use in different amounts and applications throughout the house. Each color can be used in different values and intensities to produce a wide range of effects. Crosslink with color New houses often feature kitchens and great-rooms that connect physically and visually, separated only by a partial wall or counter. To paint each area a different color, use the partial wall or peninsula as the dividing line. Unify the two areas by using the same trim color throughout, and reinforce that connection by bringing touches of each area's color into the other. For a smooth transition, choose two colors that are closely related and similar in value. What's underfoot If you paint adjoining rooms in strongly contrasting colors, connect them by using flooring or area rugs that include both colors.

Linking rooms with color may not seem very important if your rooms can be separated by closing doors. If you can see from one room into another, however, the color relationships between those rooms affect whether your living space feels smoothly harmonious or jarringly chopped up.

The wall and rug hues don't have to match exactly; one can be slightly darker or lighter than the other, and the eye will still perceive them as closely related. Unify with white trim Painting all of the trim throughout the house the same color of white isa no-fail way to create a sense of flow from room to room. There are many shades of white, so select wall colors first, then choose a white that works with all of them. A sour-cream white contrasts crisply with bold colors and harmonizes with softer ones. In developing the color scheme for your house, select colors that create the mood you would like to achieve. Link an area in your home with wallpaper to emphasize the area's openness and the way the spaces flow into one another. White trim ensures that these spaces look connected, and reinforces the effect with subliminal cues or markers to make people feel anchored as they move through your house. Choose a limited palette Open floor plans, whether in a suburban home, a condominium, or an apartment, allow architects to maximize the feeling of space without increasing square footage. That doesn't mean you have to paint all of the connecting spaces one color. Give each area its own personality and achieve a unified look by choosing two or three colors that work well together and use them in varying amounts from room to room. TRY AND TRY AGAIN: Getting just the right color may require several trips to the paint store until you get the right shade. It's important that the wall colors in adjoining spaces be of equal intensity so they balance visually. In the upholstery, rugs, and accessories, however, the color scheme can play out in a range of tones to create variety and interest. Play with light It's a simple fact that light changes the appearance of any given color. Take the same can of yellow paint and apply it to two rooms, one that receives little natural light and another that's flooded with sunshine, and it will look like two different colors. To achieve a feeling of continuity and still give each room a subtly different feeling, exaggerate this effect: Choose two closely related hues and apply the lighter one to the sunniest space, imbuing it with a sunny feeling all day long. This works well for Lshape rooms, where one leg of the L is the living area and one leg the dining area.

US Government infuses billions of dollars into the US Bond Markets to bring mortgage rates down to the

4’s!!!! By Francis Phillips Since the Fed announced a plan to purchase $500 billion of mortgage-backed securities on November 25, mortgage rates have moved progressively lower, and the trend continued this week. Conforming fixed-rate mortgage rates dropped to levels last seen in 2003. Weak Retail Sales data and low inflation figures released during the week also supported the move lower. As the government strives to offset the current weakness in the economy, its actions have exerted a much stronger than usual influence on mortgage rates. The big news came Tuesday, December 16, 2008 as the fed dropped the fed funds lending rate down to a record 0.25%. Banks followed suit with Prime being lowered to 3.25%. The Fed and the Treasury are looking at additional programs to boost the economy. On Wednesday, the Treasury confirmed that it is considering a plan which would offer below-market mortgage rates for select loans used to purchase homes. The lower rates would not be available for refinancing loans. At this point, it's not certain if, when, or in what form this latest idea will be acted upon. As we have seen recently, most notably with the $700 billion TARP rescue plan, government programs often change significantly before their implementation. Irregardless of this rumored action, rates have reached the 4’s! Not since 2003 has America received such a Holiday Bonus with

Women’s Council Installs New Board From left to right: Jorge Lopez Secretary; Becky Mitchener, Immediate Past President; Karin Davidson, President; Tracey Pidge, Vice President of Membership; & C.J. Pierce, Treasurer.

Realtors, brokers, and mortgage companies came from all offices of Las Cruces and even El Paso to participate in the 2009 Installation Banquet for the Las Cruces Chapter of the Women’s Council of Realtors (WCR). The packed house gathered the Hotel Encanto on December 16th to install a new group of leaders into the WCR. The luncheon was filled with Christmas Carols, awards and the reassurance that real estate is alive and well in the Las Cruces area. “We wanted to make this a nice and memorable event for all those involved,” says Tracey Pidge of Steinborn GMAC Real Estate and the 2009 Vice President of Membership. Throughout the event it was very evident that although the outgoing board will no longer hold the governing gavel, the membership as a whole works together to head in the right direction. The incoming President

for WCR was excited about the opportunity to help Realtors, especially with the current market situation, “This organization is all about networking and getting to know your fellow agents, and I think this incoming board will help us to grow our chapter and get more people involved.” 2009 WCR BOARD President Karin Davidson EXIT Realty Horizons Vice President of Membership Tracey Pidge Steinborn GMAC Real Estate Treasurer C.J.

Women’s Council of Realtors donates 2000+ pieces of clothing The Las Cruces Chapter of the Women's Council of Realtors (WCR) conducted a clothing drive to donate "Business" attire to La Casa and to the Gospel Rescue Mission. “We were looking for clothes that are suitable for interviews and non-manual labor positions,” says Karin Davidson of EXIT Horizons, the incoming 2009 WCR President. As a result of the drive the WCR was able to gather car loads of clothing, shoes and accessories that amounted to over 2,000 pieces. Donations of men’s and women’s garments, coats and even jewelry, arrived from numerous Realtors, past and present clients, mortgage companies and various other businesses in Las Cruces.
