ainting is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to transform the look of a space. Paint colors can dramatically change the mood and the design of a home. And depending your goals, paint can make a statement or blend into the background. Whether it’s spring, fall or the holiday season, adding a splash of color will give rooms a quick design lift. Many people are now looking to bold colors to make spaces stand out. If your looking to update walls and complement decor consider some of the more impactful colors suggested by Pantone. Primrose Yellow, Lapis Blue, Flame, Pink Yarrow, and Greenery are some of the more eye-catching selections. Once colors are selected, keep in mind these guidelines for using bolder colors in room designs. Decide how big an impact you want to make. Are you looking for color overload or just a small focal point of vivid color? Remember, using bold color doesn’t mean every wall must be lathered in that hue. Instead, select one wall to serve as an accent point and use that spot as your bold color display. Otherwise, rely on bold colors to dress up otherwise mundane areas, such as the back wall of a cupboard or moldings and trim. Try bold in a small space. Many people are surprised at how well bold colors work
P
in small spaces. Powder rooms can be an ideal spot to experiment with paint colors. Try deep colors that can make the area seem intimate and even exotic. Dark, bold hues can be toned down by different accents, such as neutral colored fixtures and towels. Go bold in the kitchen. Incorporate a splash of color in the kitchen without going overboard. Try an appliance or design fixture in a bright shade. Or paint the inside of the cabinets in your favorite color and install glass inserts in the cabinet doors so that everyone gets a peek of the color beyond. A neutral kitchen also can be brightened up with the use of silverware, dishes, pots and pans, and other kitchen items featured in bold hues. Stick to boldness on interchangeable items. Those who like to experiment with color may find that they like to switch out the colors now and again. Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out color that much easier. For example, replace area rugs, throw pillows and draperies. Paint over terra cotta flower pots when the mood strikes. Establish balance. Rely on neutral furniture, rugs, moldings and baseboards if you decide to take bold colors up a notch.This will help create a sense of balance in the room. n
essentials of a kitchen makeover
Keep that countertop looking new
K
itchen remodels remain one of the most popular upgrades on a homeowner’s to-do list.
Installing new cabinetry, countertops and appliances can transform the look of a kitchen, but you also must consider the functionality of design when renovating. According to HomeAdvisor, a home-improvement informational guide, homeowners spend an average of $22,000 on kitchen remodels. However, lavish projects can cost more than $50,000. That kind of investment means you’ll want to clearly consider your choice of kitchen components and the maintenance required to ensure the longest life possible. This includes the new countertops that make the kitchen look complete. Countertops set the tone for the kitchen, so choose materials and a look that not only reflect your style, but also are in line with how you use the kitchen. Granite is on the must-have list for many homebuyers. But engineered stone products made primarily of quartz are replacing granite in high-end design today, and their functionality as a stain-resistant, durable, sleek-looking surface fulfills lifestyle and aesthetic prerequisites for many. Countertops come in various materials, not all of which should be treated the same way. Quartz, granite, marble, laminate, and tile countertops require different types of maintenance. Quartz Engineered quartz countertops are popular. Quartz countertops are nearly maintenance-free and resistant to stains, scratches and even heat. Quartz will not need to be sealed like natural stone and can be cleaned using just a damp cloth with a mild, nonabrasive soap. Granite Polished or honed granite countertops offer a high-end look that adds instant value to a kitchen. Natural variations in granite give each kitchen a custom look. To keep granite countertops clean, avoid abrasive cleansers that can scratch, and opt for warm, soapy water instead. Stains are possible, but can be remedied with a baking soda paste left to sit for a couple of hours, advises Angie’s List. Wipe up oils, acids and soda promptly to
Design a more functional pantry Many of use wish we had more storage space in our homes, and kitchens are one area where people seemingly can always use more storage. Despite a desire for more kitchen space, until recently, kitchen pantries fell out of favor. Builders and architects may have thought that close proximity to supermarkets as well as multi-use cabinets in kitchens would offset the need for pantries. But according to a recent survey from the National Association of Home Builders, a kitchen pantry is the most desirable kitchen feature for buyers in the market for a new home. In order to accommodate for spending more time in the kitchen, homeowners are directing additional attention to kitchen preparation and storage features. In fact, one recent trend in kitchen renovations is creating custom-designed pantries.
From marble to granite to quartz, choosing the right kitchen countertop can be a daunting process. avoid stains, and follow advised sealing routines. Marble Marble is a natural stone that is porous and will need to be resealed periodically. Because marble has high levels of the mineral calcite, it can be reactive when acids come in contact with it, and etch marks may appear. Promptly wipe away tomato juice, lemon juice, perfume, or toothpaste. Marble is softer than granite and will wear at a faster rate. Avoid scratching and exercise caution when using knives or sharp objects around marble. Laminate One of the more budget-friendly materials, laminate countertops can be fabricated to mimic the look of natural stone, wood or even quartz.
Publisher STUART RICHNER Executive Editor SCOTT BRINTON
Laminate is less resistant to damage than other materials and will need a gentle touch. FormicaÂŽ says to never use abrasive cleansers, scouring pads or steel wool when cleaning laminate countertops. For tough stains, an allpurpose cleaner should suffice when applied with a nylon-bristled brush. Test any cleanser in a discreet area first. Tile Cleaning tile countertops requires getting into crevices along the grout lines. A toothbrush and a mildew-fighting cleaner or bleach diluted with water is advised. Also, unglazed tiles need to be sealed yearly. Some soap may leave residue, which can be removed with a solution of vinegar and water. n

Locate the appropriate space Ideally, pantries should be in or adjacent to the kitchen. But not every home layout allows for this setup. Some folks need to move storage pantries into the garage, the basement or a mud/laundry room. Various factors should be considered before placing a pantry outside a kitchen. Will food spoil? Is there a possibility that vermin or insects can infiltrate the room and access food? These factors will dictate whether to have closed cabinets, airtight bins or open shelves or if other modifications must be made to the room prior to building. Choose your pantry type Accessibility is essential in a pantry. Everything should be easily reached and grabbed as needed without having to move too many things. Ideally, foods should be arranged in a single layer so that all items can be viewed at a glance. Shelves of various depths and heights can accommodate items of different sizes. Adjustable shelves are ideal because they can be modified as foods change. Sliding drawers can improve reach in cabinets. In smaller spaces, French door-style reach-in cabinets are convenient and flexible. In complete kitchen remodels or new constructions, walk-in pantries offer the most space and flexibility. Must-have features Pantries serve different functions in different homes. For the bulk shopper, a pantry with plenty of room for large items will be needed. Lighting can be beneficial in all pantries. Lights can improve visibility when trying to locate items. Others prefer an outlet for charging hand-held vacuums or other small appliances. Counter space in the pantry enables homeowners to unload groceries directly onto pantry shelves. For pantries located outside of the kitchen, built-in freezers can maximize storage possibilities, especially for those who freeze-and-eat after bulk shopping ventures. n

Flowering in the Fall
Adding a color pop to your garden for winter By Julia Price Gardens provide a source of seasonal nourishment, and they can serve as a beautiful pop of color that is joyful to admire. During fall, you may find yourself wondering how to add more electric color to your surroundings before winter. Flowering cabbage and kale are perfect companions for the change in weather, and regardless of whether they're spread throughout a garden, in a garden container or lining a walkway, these stunning bursts of a rainbow palette will charm you every day. The aesthetics of flowering cabbage and kale complement many garden plants. They are even used as decorative food garnishes, as they are edible but have a bitter taste. Despite their name, they rarely put out real flowers And though they come in similar shades of bold green, blue, purple, pink and white, you can differentiate them by the leaves: Kale has ruffled, frilly leaves, while cabbage leaves are rounder and smoother. According to the UMass Amherst Greenhouse and Floriculture Extension and Better Homes and Gardens, some of the most well-known variations are the following: √ Tokyo cabbage: red or white leaves with a red center. √ Osaka cabbage: red or white leaves with a white center. √ Pigeon Red kale: red, pink, or purple leaves with a red center. √ Chidori White kale: blue-green heads with a white center. √ Glamour Red kale: red or purple leaves. √ Peacock Red kale: blue or green leaves with a red-purple center. √ Redbor Series kale: dark-purple leaves. If planting them in a garden, Better Homes and Gardens recommends planting them alongside chrysanthemums, leadworts and pansies. The Dengarden site for home and garden enthusiasts notes that they make great companion plants "because they give and receive benefits." Try planting them with artichokes, beets, celery, peas, potatoes, radishes, cucumbers, lettuces, onions and spinach. Suggested
herb plant pairings are as follows: garlic, basil, mint, rosemary, dill, chamomile, sage and thyme. These decorative plants require relatively little care, namely consistent watering and keeping the soil moist. They are relatively bug- and insect-free; however, all plants are attractive to some pests. It's common for caterpillars, slugs, aphids and flea beetles to plan an attack and make their mark. Keep an eye out for holes in the leaves, trails of shiny liquid or other signs that they are being targeted. Treatment may vary depending on location, but detecting a problem early on is key. Both of these ornamental plants thrive in cool seasons. When the temperature drops. Once the temperature hits lower than 50 degrees F, the true essence of these vibrant colors will begin to show. Though neither do well in the warmer months, you still want to plant them in an area where they will find direct sunlight or partial shade, for they won't grow as strong in the shade. Plant the seeds six to nine weeks before the first expected frost of the season, and in several months they'll grow to their full adult size. Plan ahead and you can have a beautiful blanket of color. Customize your garden design with a full arrangement or freely spread accent of either plant. Since they can grow to be quite large, The Spruce says they "look especially good in a large planting, where their color really stands out." And since they grow low, they can serve as a walkway border or edging to protect your garden. Consider planting fewer plants in ceramic pots or window boxes, rather than scattered throughout the garden. Pinterest, Country Living magazine and Good Housekeeping magazine are inspiring places to start brainstorming and envisioning your perfect layout. They will help guide you through your garden goals no matter how green your thumbs are. Adding color into your world can better your emotional well-being and trigger positive responses. Flowering kale and cabbage are flora and fauna that will put a little extra pep in your step no matter how gray it is outside. n
Flowering cabbage and kale are easily maintained plants that will bring your garden to life this winter.
