DESIGNER TIPS

for Making Your Summer Party Pop

By John Voket Summer is in full swing, and many of us are currently planning our summer parties. However, there is quite a distance between wanting to throw a great summer party and actually pulling it off. So we'll look at some of the big challenges summer party hosts may face.

When it comes to planning a summer party, lifestyle expert Ceci Carmichael recently told blogger Candace Rose Anderson that people avoid entertaining because they just think it’ll be so full of stress and they’re not going to have a good time anyway.

Carmichael's best advice—plan ahead. That means two weeks out get your list all set, get your menu all set and then along the way take bite size chunks out of it so that the day before you aren't walking a tightrope between vacuuming

and cooking at the same time.

Party planner to the stars Mindy Weiss (stylemepretty.com) advises aspiring party hosts to mind these tips: Freshen up with Color: Don’t be afraid to add pop to your party with bright colors. Purchase a fun, colored table runner for outdoor tables and a set of patterned napkins for a fresh look. Include a few brightly colored dinner plates alongside basic white dishes. That simple pop of color adds excitement to the table.

Plan a Picnic in Your Own Backyard: Surprise your guests by setting up an outdoor picnic area.

Spread multi-colored throws, blankets even large quilts on your grass and add bright colored pillows. The “eclectic look” is in!

Place fun trays on the blankets

filled with guacamole and chips or bottles of water and glassed bottled soda pop.

Light up the Garden: Lanterns placed throughout your outdoor area are always noticed! They can hang from gazebos or line the walkway into the party. These lanterns use battery-powered candles as an alternative to regular candles… they’re gorgeous and are safe too!

Invest in a Bar Cart: Freshen up your bar by adding a bar cart to the area where your guests are gathering. The bar cart can be filled with alcoholic drinks for the party goers, or for an outdoor family event try beautiful pitchers of lemonade or iced lavender hibiscus tea. Recently, I took my bar cart and filled it will fun desserts that the guests could try at their leisure.

WHICH UPGRADES ARE WORTH IT TO HELP YOU SELL YOUR HOUSE? Is it finally time to sell your house? That's the question on many homeowners' minds as interest rates remain relatively low, still making it a good time to find a buyer and find themselves a new home. And the spring is a great time to list your house.

But before you put your home on the market, you should walk around the inside and outside and take note of opportunities to upgrade things. Sometimes staging your home isn’t enough; you might need to put some money into it. However, a full-blown remodel or renovations might not be worth your time or money, so focus on smaller things that will still move the needle.

You want potential buyers to like what they see when they attend an open house or look at your house with their realtor. To increase your home's "like" quotient, read on to see which upgrades are worth making and which aren't.

WORTH IT NOT WORTH IT

A NEW FRONT DOOR. Strictly in terms of return on investment, a steel door topped the list of remodeling magazine's annual cost vs. Value report - recouping 96.6 Percent of the average price. But a fresh coat of paint on your current door can work wonders, too.

A BACK-UP POWER GENERATOR. They’re an easy upgrade: you pretty much have to buy one and put it outside or in your basement with proper ventilation. Generators play especially well in areas regularly brutalized by storms or bad winter weather.

ROOFING REPLACEMENT. There's a reason this ultimate "curb appeal" enhancer consistently makes remodeling's list: a roof is the first thing prospective buyers notice even before exiting their cars, and you can kiss that sale goodbye if yours looks like it's been battered and beaten.

A HOME-OFFICE REMODEL. We know what you're thinking: With so many more people working from home, wouldn't it be brilliant to rewire the space for electronic equipment, say, and install commercial-grade carpeting? Not really. The magazine gave it the lowest return on investment (48.9 percent), and the guy who oversaw the study says, "Home offices don't sell houses."

MAJOR BATHROOM WORK. "You could install the most spectacular jetted tub, and it still might not suit a buyer," says Patsy O'Neill, a sales associate in Montclair, N.J. "Meanwhile, you'd have spent tens of thousands of dollars."

MAJOR KITCHEN RENOVATIONS. Again, the key word is "major," and again it's a "taste" issue.

You could put in the appliances and cabinets you think look great, only for a potential buyer to hate them.

10 PLANTS FOR DESIGNING A WATER-WISE LANDSCAPE

BY KRYSTAL ROGERS-NELSON Wait! Before you spend thousands on landscaping—or on water-guzzling plants—try planting a DIY drought-tolerant garden.

With the right plants, your landscape will be cost-effective, low-maintenance, and beautiful.

Here is a list of 10 plants that won't break the water bank but will still let you enjoy lush greenery and flowers without having to replant every year. Just be sure to check your hardiness zone and your zone's growing calendar before planting anything not mentioned on this list to ensure it can withstand your climate.

NORTHEAST

SOUTHEAST

1. Goldenrod

3. Baby's Breath

Goldenrod is so easy to grow that some people call it a weed; it springs up practically everywhere once planted. If you don't mind prolific yellow tufts that look cheerful in the late summer afternoons, then you'll love goldenrod. These flowers top out at a couple feet high and bring lots of pollinators like butterflies and honeybees to your garden, so other plants will naturally grow and flourish.

2. Juniper

Juniper bushes are evergreen, providing a perfect backdrop for other plants during their growing and dormancy cycles.

Whether it's in the dead of winter or summer, you'll have these fragrant and green bushes to look at. If you're into attracting nature, you'll especially love juniper; it was named one of the top 10 wildlife-friendly plants.

Baby's breath is ideal for garden filler flowers, bouquets, drying, and water-conscious people. This low-growing plant blooms all throughout summer and comes back each spring to do it all over again.

4. Purple Coneflower (Echinacea) For a flower with healing powers, it's amazing the purple coneflower doesn't need much TLC itself. This flower loves full sun and soil that's part sand, clay, and silt (loamy).

Plant purple coneflowers in the summer, water until they're established, and then enjoy purple, red, pink, and white flowers every summer and fall thereafter. Echinacea is beloved by butterflies too, and grows well in nearly all hardiness zones.

SOUTHWEST 5. Desert Zinnia

Seeing lush, beautiful blooms in the desert is a real treat, which is what makes the desert zinnia so rewarding. Just plant the desert zinnia once, and you can watch it bloom for months each year with little to no effort on your part.

It's perfect for hot, dry, and sandy Southwestern states because it can withstand droughts and it comes back each year. Plus, its flowers are bright white, so they integrate easily into your other landscaping plans and color schemes. Start these plants from seeds and enjoy them for years to come.

6. Prickly Pear

The prickly pear is a cactus—ideal for desert climates. It also provides your landscaping with added security. These plants grow one foot to seven feet tall, and may be planted around entrances to limit burglar hiding places and deter access. The prickly pear also looks pretty—with vibrant flowers in summer—and produces fruit for your family. No one other plant on this list has all these benefits.

MIDWEST 7. Daylily

If you don't have a green thumb, you'll love the daylily. It grows perfectly well in most hardiness zones and doesn't have a soil preference. Add on the fact that daylilies don't have diseases or chronic pests, and it'll be one of your favorite plants on your property. Once planted, enjoy brightly colored blooms without worry.

8. Lilac

The lilac is a low-water tree that never grows more than 15 feet tall, making it perfect to add depth and dimension to your garden. Lilacs rely on the hard frost of the Midwest and Northeast to set its buds and return with velvety soft purple and pink flowers each spring. After the root system develops, you won't need to do much more than pruning and fertilizing once per year.

WEST 9. Sage

Sage is a perennial drought-tolerant herb. Though sage dies off in the winter, you can cut it back at the end of the summer, dry the leaves for cooking, and watch fresh new shoots emerge in early spring. The honeybees go crazy over the bright purple flowers that bloom in late spring, helping the plant double and triple in size in just a few growing seasons.

10. Yarrow Yarrow is a lovely, bushy perennial that shows off yellow, red, orange, white, and pink flowers each year. It's perfect for southern areas because it can stand the heat and some cooler temperatures. Yarrow loves full sun and welldrained soil. If given ideal growing conditions, you won't have to water it at all and it'll still grow to about four feet tall. Plus, local deer and rabbits don't generally find yarrow appealing, so it's less likely to get munched on.

Planting with purpose saves you money, time, and precious water. Plus, in some cases, the plants you choose can enhance your yard's security or offer medicinal and nutritional value. Get to planting so this season and seasons to come will be more water-conscious and beautiful.

8 Ways to Make Your Backyard a Summer Paradise

By Sage Singleton

S

ummer is the season to be outdoors.

It's the perfect time for backyard barbecues, neighborhood socials, and late-night evenings on the patio. You don't need to travel to a luxurious and exotic location to enjoy spending time outdoors.

Make your own backyard a summer paradise with these eight simple suggestions.

Inspect & Update Wooden Decks To make your backyard a summer haven, take some time to inspect and update your deck. Wooden patios and decks can be warped by cold weather, so you'll want to replace loose or missing slats as needed.

Sand, stain, and seal your deck once you've made sure it's structurally sound. If you have a stone patio, check for missing pieces and update as needed. Once this is complete, you'll have a shiny and appealing deck you can decorate with patio furniture—creating a relaxing sitting area for summertime.

Editor's Note: This was originally published on RISMedia's blog, Housecall. See what else is cookin' now at blog.rismedia.com

Purchase Patio Furniture & Essentials Once you have a designated patio or deck space, you'll want to add some patio furniture so you can sit down, mingle with friends and family, and relax. Consider purchasing weatherproof patio furniture that is both comfortable and durable. Patio furniture can be exposed to harsh, seasonal weather, so you'll want to make sure it lasts for years.

Get the basics, including some lounge chairs, an umbrella, a hammock, and an outdoor table so you can enjoy meals or games outside. In addition to patio furniture, you may want to buy or build an outdoor fire pit.

It's a simple feature that adds so much to your backyard. Sit around the fire and socialize, roast marshmallows or even cook dinner on your own backyard fireplace.

Add Colorful Cushions and Pillows You'll want to add a splash of color to your patio so it's eye-catching and sings of summertime. Buy some bright-colored, comfortable throw pillows and cushions to spice up the furniture. The bright colors and fun patterns will entice people to sit down, relax, and enjoy your backyard paradise.

Get a Rug for the Patio Consider adding a rug to the patio or deck area to make the space feel cozier. Outdoor rugs vary in material, size, and shape and are generally made to last in all types of weather. They make a great addition to your space, and can also protect your deck.

Install Outdoor Lighting Nothing is more magical than twinkling

lights against a royal-blue evening sky. Add strands of tea lights or other innovative lights to create a fairytale effect in your backyard.

In addition to the decorative lighting, you'll want to consider adding sensor or smart lights to your backyard for added security.

Smart lights are a great way to ensure the backyard is lit—you can even control smart lights with your smart phone.

your landscaping to create an outdoor paradise. You don't need extravagant plants or trees to make your backyard grand. Take some time to cut back unruly trees and bushes, pull the weeds, water and trim the lawn, and plant flowers around the yard.

These simple updates will make a world of difference. You'll have your own secret garden in no time!

Make the Backyard Private

Secure Outdoor Belongings

You may love your neighbors, but that doesn't mean you want them always peeking into your backyard. Be creative when thinking of ways to ensure better backyard privacy. One easy way to create a private, secluded backyard paradise is to install a fence. Not only does it ensure privacy, but it is an essential safety measure. Install a strong, secure fence to create a private and safe backyard.

Update Your Landscaping

Landscaping can make or break your backyard. It's essential to take time to update

Once you've created a magical backyard space, you'll want to take the necessary precautions to safeguard your belongings.

Make sure your garden tools and supplies are in a locked shed—away from kids, pets, and burglars. Take time to assess the backyard for any security breaches. This will keep your family safe and protect your backyard, patio, and deck from major damage.

Summer is a wonderful time to relax and enjoy being outdoors. Update your own backyard and you'll have access to a private paradise any time you want.

If it is time for you to remodel your kitchen, consider adding some worldly flair and design. Contact your local kitchen remodeling company or a contractor who focuses on kitchens and consider these following ideas: GETTING FANCY WITH FLOORING Certain materials establish a regional look because they are widely available in that region. In India, where quarries make natural stones easily affordable, kitchens commonly feature floors of glossy marble or other stone. Ceramic tile is abundant in Spain, and a wide variety of styles are available to create the underpinning for any regionally-inspired kitchen design.

Go to your local kitchen design remodeler’s showroom and look at the wide array of tile and flooring that they have. Chances are they will have something that fits your budget while giving you a great Indian or Spanish-style look.

PAVING THE WAY WITH WALLS Kitchens around the world have signature design elements when it comes to walls. Wood paneling is a hallmark of English country kitchens, while modern Japanese kitchens, which are often limited in space, are made to look larger with walls of floor-to-ceiling win-

dows. And arches and bright tile accents lend themselves to Mexican design. See what options your remodeler can do for you!

OPENING UP WITH CABINETRY The material and color you choose for your cabinets will play a defining role in the overall appearance of your kitchen. Flat white or frosted glass doors can impart a very modern, European flair, while distressed woods in rustic hues create a Tuscan effect. Work with your kitchen design professional to find cabinets that work well with the floors and walls you have already chosen.

COLORING YOUR WORLD Specific colors are tied to certain world cultures, regions and locations – walls in a soft mandarin paired with burgundy window treatments can build an Asian-inspired backdrop. Aegean blue and sand backsplash tiles speak of a subtle Mediterranean influence.

Your local kitchen design center will have plenty of backsplashes and tile that complements any global design.

Together with a kitchen remodel expert, you can implement as many of these ideas as you want to give your kitchen a vibrant, globally-inspired look.

Work with them to establish a budget, leaving room for unexpected expenses. Working with a reputable kitchen redesign professional will help you define the project and its requirements. You’ll then be on your way to a beautiful kitchen you and your family will enjoy for years to come.

The Most Popular Features to Improve the Performance of Your Home

A

ccording to a new National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Remodelers survey, high-performing, Low-emissive (Low-E) windows are the most common green building products used by residential remodelers.

Low-E window coatings are popular because they minimize the amount of ultraviolet and infrared light that can pass through glass, all without compromising the amount of visible light that is transmitted.

To kick off National Home Remodeling Month in May, NAHB released the survey results, which highlight the most common building features that home owners are using to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.

“The improved availability and affordability of high-performing building products means energy-efficient features are being incorporated into more home improvement projects,” says NAHB Remodelers Chair Paul Sullivan, CAPS, CGR, CGP, of Waterville Valley, N.H. “Remodeling can not only improve the overall layout and features of a home, but depending on the upgrades you choose, you can also save money on utilities, improve indoor air quality and strengthen the long-term value of your home.”

The most popular green building features in the survey of residential remodelers are: » » » »

High performance windows including Low-E and Argon gas windows High efficiency HVAC systems Programmable thermostats ENERGY STAR appliances

Energy efficiency is a key theme for remodelers, because these features help make the home more comfortable and can save the home owner significant money over the long term. On a median per square-foot basis, home owners spend much less with these energy efficient features.

Other popular features include ceiling fans, moisture control products such as bathroom fans, water conserving fixtures and high performance insulation.

The usage of technology to improve a home’s performance has increased dramatically during the past decade. Seventy percent of remodelers say they used programmable thermostats, a big increase from 42 percent back in 2011. Sixty-two percent of remodelers used ceiling fans in their remodels, compared to 37 percent back in 2011.

Over the next five years, the percentage of remodelers who expect to be doing more than 60 percent of their projects green will double, according to the McGraw Hill Construction green building study in conjunction with NAHB. “The lower operating and maintenance costs of energy-efficient homes are a compelling reason for more home owners to incorporate green features in their remodeling designs,” says Sullivan.

“A professional remodeler can help maximize the benefits of including these features in a remodel.

The survey results provide useful examples of ways to increase a home’s efficiency, decrease costs and take advantage of the other benefits that high performance green homes offer.”
