5 Easy Ways

TO ADD FRONT PORCH CURB APPEAL A 3.

warm, inviting front porch welcomes guests, increases the value of your home, and provides enjoyable outdoor living space. Here are five easy and affordable ways to decorate your porch for added curb appeal:

1.

Lighting – Remove builder-grade or outdated fixtures and replace them with high quality, energy-efficient light fixtures. Choose a style and finish that will complement the color and architecture of your home. Exterior garage lights should also be replaced for a cohesive look. White string lights and flameless outdoor candle lanterns are a great way to add ambience and warmth to your porch in the evening.

2.

Hardware – Replace outdated, mismatched or diminutive door handles, knockers, kick plates, chimes, letter boxes and house numbers. Again, choose a style and finish that will complement the color and architecture of your home.

ANGIE NOLAN

Color – Paint your front door an eye-catching color. Then accessorize your porch with items that will complement that color. Accessories can include an umbrella stand, boot tray, welcome mat, outdoor rug, flower pots and toss pillows.

4.

Furniture – Add seating to your front porch. Benches, chairs, rockers and swings provide a place to remove wet shoes, relax with a drink, and chat with neighbors passing by.

5.

Flowers/Greenery – Potted plants and hanging baskets are a great way to add scent, color, and interest to your porch. Mix in varieties that will attract butterflies and hummingbirds for viewing pleasure.

A welcoming home begins at the front porch. Whether you have a simple stoop or sprawling wraparound veranda, a beautifully decorated porch becomes an extension of the main house and

We had already purged painting them was unnecessary, I was our home ala garage sale style and a resolute that it had to be done. few dump runs since we had started the process of finally starting some I have loved this home – for a lot of renovations that had really needed to reasons.

I wanted to share this epic update with you all and include how-to details and a few suggestions about how I might do it differently next time, but as I wrote, the article just got longer, and longer and longer. So here are the cliff notes about how I tackled this project. I had estimated it would take me about 10 days to complete this. It has not. It has taken about twice that long. Mostly because I just didn’t have the large chunks of time to dedicate to just working on them –coupled with the fact that you do have to just let them sit for long periods of time to dry.

So make sure you actually have the

time to complete this project correctly if you decide to start. Also, I opted not to paint the insides of the cabinets because I had good laminate cases in decent shape. If painting the insides, this project will take quite a bit longer. Ideally, this is what a 10 day time line might look like.

enough to get to stay in this home as long as I had hoped; we always thought we’d have time to do this or that later and later is suddenly now!

Unfortunately, life just kept moving fast, and we have not had near the time to actually do most of the things on our renovation list. The cabinets however, are [almost] done!

from a Builder’s Perspective I

am always curious about the extent of the damage. the homes and land on the Water staining on the market and what home buyers foundation is a sign that there are looking for in a home. could be drainage problems or From fixer-uppers, to existing other problems from inside the homes, to new construction, home.

First, check the foundation. Check Foundation repairs can be very expensive for cracks, damage, and water stains. so if you really can’t live without the Concrete does crack in older homes home seek an engineer and get estimates and not all cracks are a problem, but from contractors. they should be checked out.

If the asphalt roof is older than that, it may need to be replaced especially if there is significant moss or algae buildup. Asphalt roofs should be maintained and cleaned on a yearly basis to get the most life out of a roof. Special cleaners are available for purchase at your local hardware store – do not power wash an asphalt roof.

Asphalt roofs can be a significant cost to replace after buying a home. However, if a steel roof needs to be replaced after the purchase of a home, it can cost 30-50% more than an asphalt shingle roof. Steel roofs can last

50+ years in Southeast Alaska, and the first thing to give on a steel roof is the fasteners. Exposed fasteners on a steel roof can be easily replaced at a reasonable cost. Flashings, overhangs and roof drainage should also be inspected.

Homes with a two-foot or more roof overhang will eliminate some of the rain that hits the side of the home. Look at the roof drainage to see there are any obvious issues with water or ice backing up and that gutters and fascia boards are in good shape.

After the roof, I look at the energy efficiency of a home. Buyers often purchase homes at the upper limits of their price range. So, will you as the new home owner be able to heat the home? You should be able to obtain the past heating bills and any past energy ratings on the home. Or you can have the home inspector closely inspect the insulation, if the home is not sufficiently sealed and insulated it could be more costly than you bargained for. Insulating and air sealing a home can be the best thing you can do in your new home. The energy savings alone from air sealing and insulating can help with the new kitchen or bath you’ve been dreaming about.

Next, I check for moisture. Bathrooms, kitchens, and utility room (anyplace where there is water) should be checked for signs of moisture issues. Finding moisture problems in a home for sale can be challenging since sellers often repaint or touch up paint in a home. Paint does not adhere to wet materials. Mold and water stains can show through slightly on newly painted surfaces so look closely.

Moisture issues, in most cases, can be easily remedied. These issues often include poor ventilation, a shower door leak, or small plumbing leaks, which can be easily repaired. Other leaks including foundation leaks, exterior, extensive moisture issues, and roof leaks can be a bit more costly.

Always check areas of a home

where there are water sources that can cause moisture issues.

Lastly, follow your gut instinct! If something looks or feels wrong, ask questions. Even if this is your first home purchase or your tenth, you should ask your banker, your inspector, your engineer, or your realtor all of your questions so that you know what you are getting

Day 8: Let it all sit for at least a day

Day 5:

to insure everything is very dry. It is very important to follow the direction for dry and re-coat times on your particular paint product. In addition, you should know that the higher end, self-leveling paints made for cabinets involve a chemical reaction for curing that takes a looooooong time to be fully done. You can handle them sooner; just be gentle with them for a while. For mine it’s a full 30-45 days. It won’t say it on the can, but your sales person should be able to tell you this.

Primer. Yes primer. Even if your friendly paint store sales expert says it’s not necessary – do it. Prime. Prime the backs. When dry, flip and prime the fronts, then let dry overnight

Sand any drips or other imperfections you see with a fine grit paper. Caulk again as necessary, wipe down as necessary and then prime again. Backs first, let dry, flip and then fronts, allowing them to dry overnight again.

to edge in and protect your floor or other surrounding surfaces.

Day 3:

Fill any holes or deep scratches with a fast drying wood putty or caulk. Fill your hardware holes if you will be drilling new ones or not putting hardware back on. I highly recommend using caulk to fill all the seams of the case. Sand and wipe down everything again.

Day 6:

Sand imperfections again.

Wipe down as necessary and then you are finally ready for the first coat of color! Again, always do the backs first, then the fronts. If your supports leave minor smudging, you can touch it up later. You want the fronts have the longest dry time so they look the best with minimal “fixes”.

Day 7:

Sand imperfections again.

Apply second coat.

Day 10:

Hang doors and attach drawers. Touch up paint as necessary.

The above may not seem all that daunting, but I can assure you it is somewhat brutal if you are trying to juggle children, work and more. If you want to check out the cabinets and

Drill holes (if necessary) for hardware and attach. You could opt to drill the holes prior to painting, which I would have done if the hardware I had ordered had arrived in time.

I highly recommend having a good line up of podcasts and music.

However, the best remedy to losing your mind during this project is a good friend (a skilled painter preferably) to share the task with. Thankyou Ariane!

5 simple steps to make your new place feel like home 4.

(BPT) - Millions of Millennials move every year, and due to the flexibility of renting, many people choose to rent rather than own.

Just because renting requires a short-term commitment, however, doesn’t mean you can’t personalize your temporary home. A few expert tips will turn any rental into your very own “home sweet home” with minimal effort.

“I don’t know about you, but my house never really feels like home until it’s clean,” says Brooke Ulrich, DIY Blogger at AllThingsThrifty.com. “With a little cleaning and a lot of creative, personal touches, it’s easy to make your rented space feel like home. And since time is of the essence when you’re trying to move, I always visit my local Home Depot to grab everything I need - from nails to screws, house décor and even cleaning products.”

Once you sign the lease, there’s no time to waste. Here is Ulrich’s checklist for making the most of your new space.

1.

Don’t forget the dust bunnies. During the moving process, pay extra attention to the baseboards of your new home. The landlord or previous tenants most likely did some cleaning, but baseboards are commonly

Get creative with DIY projects. There are tons of DIY projects that add a personal touch to your home. Start with a DIY monogrammed piece of art by your front door, as this will be the first thing your guests see. Before getting crafty, lay down a few Bounty paper towels for protection from paint or glue spills. Let your own personality spark the theme of your decor for a completely customized appearance.

5. forgotten. Take care of this using a Swiffer Sweeper with the base turned sideways. You’ll get them squeaky clean and won’t have to bend down and strain your back.

2.

Erase stubborn stains. Previous tenants have likely left behind grime and residue, and nothing makes a place feel less homey than someone else’s stains. For carpets, consider renting a carpet cleaner for a few hours to eliminate deep stains. For stubborn stains in bathtubs, on doors and on linoleum floors, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers work wonders, so

you don’t have to live with what others left behind.

3.

Give the walls a personal touch. Once your place is clean and you’re all settled in, it’s time to tackle the decor. Each landlord is different and some are stricter than others about what they allow you to change, like painting the walls. If this is the case, you still have options. Removable wallpaper or wall decals are easy to install and won’t damage your walls when you peel it off. You can even save it to reuse in your next home!

Add a gallery wall. Finish off the look of your home with a cluster of your favorite photos. The minute you hang a personal photo on the wall, your new place will instantly feel like your own. Create a gallery wall of photos or sprinkle them around the entire space and your family and friends will always be there in spirit.

“People tend to shy away from the details of decorating because they know they will be moving again, but brightening up a rental home is much easier than you think,” says Ulrich. “With these tips you can be confident in creating a comfortable and inviting environment, even if you know it won’t be your forever-home.”

Sitka Wild Rose Cupcakes w/Butter Cream Frosting

Recipe

Makes Approx. 24 mini-cupcakes

Boil 1 & 1/2 cups of sugar and the water together. Reduce until thickened into a syrupy consistency. Remove from burner and add 2 cups of rose petals to syrup. Let cool completely, then strain the liquid from the petals. Now you’ve got rose syrup.

DIRECTIONS FOR CUPCAKES 1. Preheat oven to 375. Line cupcake tins with papers.

Should be mini-cupcake size.

2. Finely mince 1/4 cup of rose petals & lemon balm being careful not to bruise them or cut more than once.

3. Cream 1/2 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of sugar till light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time.

n full bloom across the Northwest you will find Rosa Rugosa’s amazing nervine, cooling, mood enhancing anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, astringent, bioflavonoid-rich medicine is one of the

most delicious gifts of early summer.

Often you will find many recipes, for jams, jellies and liquors made with the rose hip fruit but not often do we take full advantage of using the petals. Rose flowers are available June thru July in most parts of southeast, they have five petals and can be made into amazing concoctions. You can make jelly, a hydrosol, or flower water on your stovetop at home and it will have similar properties to essential oils but be less concentrated and readily available for you to use on your skin or in recipes. It makes an amazing facial mist on a hot day.

white wine for your roses...

Hydrosol video https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=6PI7NlsjA1Y

From my shell filled table to yours,

Harvest your petals in the morning on a clear dry day, before the heat of the sun, but after the dew burns off. Do watch out for thorns while picking.

Most Important Harvest Rule: Take only four of the petals, leaving one left on the plant as a signal for pollinators. Take the petals home and place them in a strainer or sieve and gently shake to release little critters. (Washing will dilute the volatile oils). Then they are ready to use!

4. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Then slowly add 1 cup of the rose syrup (reserving the remaining for the frosting) beat well; stir in vanilla.

5. Lastly, stir in the finely minced rose petals and lemon balm until well blended.

6. Divide batter evenly among pans and bake for 18 minutes. Let cool in pans.

7. Frost with Buttercream Icing and then roll each cupcake in Rose Sugar Sprinkle WILD ROSE SUGAR SPRINKLE 1. Take the remaining 3/4 cup or so of rose petals and place in food processor with 1/2 cup of remaining sugar.

2. Grind until petals are dissolved in a moist crumbly pink sugar.

BUTTER CREAM FROSTING 1. Beat remaining 1/2 cup of butter until creamy.

2. Slowly add powdered sugar, little at a time, continuing to beat. (I make mine fresh in a blender from regular organic sugar) 3. Slowly add remaining 1/3 cup rose syrup, and keep beating until well mixed.
