MODERN

KITCHEN AND BATH UPGRADES

pgrades happen for all kinds of reasons, but one of the most common purposes of a home renovation is to make essential spaces like kitchens and bathrooms more modern. Modernizing your spaces isn’t just about the aesthetic, although that is a major advantage, especially when it comes to resale value. Updating your kitchen and

Creative Living 76 Digestsize.indd 1

bath is also an opportunity to introduce new technology and enhancements that improve the function of these high-traffic rooms. Modern styles simplify everyday living and can make contemporary entertaining more enjoyable. The sleek lines of modern design lend themselves to a clean look, which is supported by hidden features that make organization easier.

6/15/21 3:31 PM

SMART TECHNOLOGY Although the idea of a connected home isn’t new, technology is steadily improving. This means smart features are now often more affordable, easily integrated into the rest of your home and available to help manage a wider range of household items. In the kitchen, you can add smart technology in numerous ways, from appliances and climate control to lighting and window treatments. For example, touch-to-open and push-to-open doors and drawers create a sleek, modern design while opening and closing with either a push or touch of a button for convenience. Similar diversity is available in the bathroom, where you can incorporate connected health and fitness monitors, touchless toilets, mirrors that double as information centers, towel warmers and even showers that automatically adjust to your preferred temperature. PAINT Changing the colors in a space is one of the most effective ways to transform the decor, but the walls aren’t the only place where paint can make a big impact, especially in rooms like the kitchen or bathroom, where the cabinetry can make a bold statement. Black is a hallmark of modern design and installing cabinetry with a black finish can instantly upgrade a room. To create visual interest, consider incorporating accent cabinets in a coordinating finish. For example, you could pair Wellborn Cabinet’s Midtown wall cabinets finished in Matte Ebony with upper center cabinets finished in Putty Oak. An island in Bel-Air can incorporate both dark and light tones for a cohesive look.

DECORATIVE RANGE HOODS An exposed range hood is a trendy look that can add sophistication to your kitchen. Treating this functional element as a statement piece gives you another place to showcase your style and create a sleek and modern look. If your hood is covered, consider making the cabinet door a focal point with a material such as back-painted glass. MULTI-PURPOSE SINKS While your sink has some obvious functions, you can upgrade the space for even more practical use. Some of the latest sink design innovations include built-in features such as cutting boards, colanders, bowls, drying racks and compost areas. In addition, motion activated wastebaskets with separate compost or recycling containers provide hands-free access to reduce unwanted messes. TOUCHLESS FAUCETS Public restrooms aren’t the only places you can benefit from a touchless faucet. At home, the feature may come in handy when your hands are full or filthy. An automatic water flow is convenient and can help keep germs and grime under control. For the most ontrend, modern look, coordinate your faucets with other bathroom elements finished in gold hues, such as a laminate veneer vanity in a high-gloss gold finish. FREE-STANDING TUBS A luxurious soaking tub is a top demand for many homeowners, and trends are moving toward free-standing options that create a focal point in an oasis-like bathroom. You may be envisioning an old-fashioned clawfoot style, but there are numerous modern takes on the traditional version that can fit seamlessly into your modern design scheme.

SHOULD YOU REPLACE YOUR FRONT DOOR?

our home’s front door is one of the first things that guests notice when they come to visit. It is also responsible for keeping your family safe, keeping drafts out and blocking out noise from traffic and other external sources. If your front door is damaged or worn out and failing in one or more of these areas, it may be time to replace it. Which Type of Door Should You Choose? A steel door is the best choice in terms of security. Steel doors are also energy efficient, durable and affordable. They don’t warp, but they can become dented, scratched and rusted. Steel doors are available in numerous styles and can be painted. If you would prefer a wood door, you can choose from several species and paint or varnish the door in the color of your choice. Wood doors can withstand damage from normal use and scratches can be fixed fairly easily. The downside is that a wood door can become weathered from exposure to rain and sunlight, and must be painted and varnished regularly to keep it from warping and swelling. Since a wood door can be damaged by weather, it’s best to choose one only if the entryway is covered or if you plan to use a storm door. Fiberglass doors are made with composite materials. They can be manufactured to closely resemble wood, but they don’t have the drawbacks of real wood.

A fiberglass door won’t swell, shrink, rot or warp. Fiberglass doors are better at resisting insects and fire than wood doors, plus, fiberglass is easier to maintain. Fiberglass doors are also more secure and energy efficient than wood doors, but they tend to be more expensive. Steel and fiberglass doors have a thermal break or an insulated separation that keeps outside temperatures from affecting the inside of the house. They can also keep heated air inside during the winter and cooled air inside during the summer. By preventing air transfer, a new front door can make your home more energy efficient and can significantly lower your utility bills. If you live on a busy street, you may be annoyed by the sounds of cars driving by, people talking and dogs barking outside your house. Some doors are constructed to block out noise from traffic and other outdoor sources. Choose the Right Front Door for Your Home Installing a new front door can quickly and easily make your home more secure and energy efficient, upgrade its style and increase its value. If you decide to replace your front door, do it before the winter months. You don’t want to let cold air into your house while workers are removing the old door and installing the new one. Review your options and shop around for a door that suits your home and your budget.

Top 5 Reasons You Need a Realtor, rather than an iBuyer

REALTORS HAVE MARKET KNOW-HOW · Local Agents have a much better understanding of your Local Market and how it works.

2 3 4

REALTORS WILL NEGOTIATE THE DETAILS · Selling your house through an agent is the best way to ensure you keep the equity your home has earned.

YOU WILL BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH A MARKET EXPERT · Working with a Realtor means you’re connected with a market expert for the next time you need to buy or sell.

iBUYER PREMIUMS ARE ALMOST DOUBLE THAT OF A REALTOR’S COMMISSION REALTORS WILL MARKET YOUR HOME TO POTENTIAL BUYERS TO GIVE YOU TOP DOLLAR · iBuyers are buying your home site unseen for a price that’s likely less than what your property is worth.

Of course, with so many options to choose from, picking the right plants for each space can be a little overwhelming. To help simplify your life, here are the perfect plants for every room in your home. FOYER: PEACE LILIES

LIVING ROOM: FIDDLE LEAF FIG

Because it’s said to represent good luck and prosperity, the peace lily is an ideal plant to decorate the entryway of your home and greet visitors with. Its glossy leaves and white flowers provide an elegant focal point and, perhaps best of all, peace lilies are touted for their ability to purify the air.

The fiddle leaf fig is a favorite among plant enthusiasts, and a large living room is the perfect place to position this ornamental tree. Just make sure that this finicky houseplant receives the proper amount of sunlight and water.

KITCHEN: ALOE VERA An aloe vera plant can look great in any part of the home, but chances are you’ll benefit the most from having it in your kitchen. Should you burn your hand on a hot frying pan or get a small cut while dicing vegetables, you can break off a small piece of aloe vera and apply it directly to your skin for relief.

HOME OFFICE: SUCCULENTS Looking for a low-maintenance plant for your workspace? A few succulents are an excellent choice because they can easily fit on your desk and usually only need to be watered every week or two. Plus, when you’re feeling stressed out, they can be soothing to look at and help you calm down. BEDROOM: LAVENDER Research has shown that the smell of lavender has calming effects, which is why it’s widely used as a natural sleep aid. If you want a plant that will help you to wake up feeling refreshed each morning, you can’t go wrong with lavender.

Selling? DON’T MAKE THESE HOME-STAGING MISTAKES When it comes to selling your home, presentation is everything. That’s why many homeowners work with professional stagers when preparing to put their home on the market. When a home is effectively staged, it can give you a competitive edge and potentially help secure your desired sales price as well.

Creative Living 76 Digest.indd 1

7/14/21 10:56 AM

Not everyone has the budget to hire a stager, however, and going it alone is not as easy as it may seem. Even if you’re an avid reader of interior design magazines or a loyal fan of home improvement shows, you can fall victim to one of several mistakes when staging your own home: Not thinking about photographs. Sure, your home may look great in person, but will your staging strategy translate well to photographs? Keep in mind that the vast majority of home shoppers begin their search online, where photographs are a deciding factor as to whether or not they’ll consider your home further. Angling your furniture. Resist the temptation to get creative by arranging your furniture on a diagonal angle. You may think this makes your room look bigger, but it actually skews the perception of space. Not using area rugs. If you have an open floor plan, you may think bare floors add to your home’s spaciousness, but the lack of rugs can actually make your home look barren. Attractive area rugs are essential to adding some warmth and coziness to your home by delineating specific areas. Out-of-scale wall art. Eye-catching artwork is a great way to up your home’s presentation factor. Artwork that is too big or too small for your walls, however, will throw off the entire design of a room. A piece of art or grouping of artwork should take up ⅔ - ¾ of a wall’s space. Not letting in enough light. A bright and airy feel is essential to helping your home stand out among buyers, so make sure your home has more than enough light. For older homes without recessed lighting, bring in some extra table and floor lamps, and in all cases, make sure window coverings are wide open or potentially removed altogether. Keep these “not-to-dos” in mind when setting the stage for your home’s sale, and you’ll have a better chance of standing out among the competition. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021.

HOW TO COPE WITH THE STRESSES OF MOVING

Creative Living 76 Digest.indd 3

7/14/21 10:56 AM

Moving to a new home is exciting, but the process is also bound to be stressful. Recognize that stress is a natural response to a major life change and follow these tips to avoid feeling overwhelmed. CREATE A PLAN

It’s common for people to feel so overwhelmed by all the tasks associated with moving that they don’t know where to begin. The process may feel more manageable if you break it down into a series of steps. Seeing things on paper and checking off tasks as you complete them can help you feel in control and ensure you don’t forget anything important. Figure out what you want to take to your new home and where things will go before you start packing. This will allow you to sort your belongings and pack them in boxes that are clearly labeled so you’ll be able to find things easily when you arrive at your new house.

START THE MOVING PROCESS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE

People tend to greatly underestimate how long it will take to make arrangements with a moving company, assemble packing supplies, sort through their belongings and pack them up. When it comes to moving, a good rule of thumb is to assume that everything will take longer than you think it will and to begin to tackle things as soon as possible so you don’t feel overwhelmed as moving day approaches. Start with small, simple tasks. Getting some of those out of the way can give you a feeling of accomplishment and help you build the momentum you need to take on more challenging tasks.

Creative Living 76 Digest.indd 4

GET HELP

If you’re moving to your new home with family members, split up jobs so no individual has to shoulder an unreasonable amount of responsibility. If you have other relatives or friends that live nearby who can help you, reach out and ask them to pitch in however they can. Even if friends come over for an hour or two to help you with packing, that can help you make progress. Also, spending time chatting with loved ones can help you relax. You may be able to get some friends or relatives to help you load up a moving truck and carry furniture and boxes into your new home, but hiring a moving company may be less stressful, even if it costs more. If you take that route, you won’t have to worry about heavy lifting and you may even be able to get professional help with packing.

TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF

Once you start packing and get into a groove, it can be tempting to keep going to get as much done as possible. However, that can quickly cause you to feel burnt out. During the moving process, be sure to get enough sleep, take relaxing breaks and get some exercise. Even a 10-minute walk around the block can be enough to help you recharge.

QUESTIONS TO ASK A POTENTIAL CONTRACTOR When it comes to renovating your home, be it a kitchen remodel or a bathroom overhaul, you want to be sure you hire the right professional for the job. This is the person you are depending on to tear down your walls and spend your dollars wisely. Avoid a renovation nightmare by researching a few different contractors and setting up an interview with each of them. Here are seven interview questions to ask a potential contractor to ensure you hire the right pro!

Creative Living 76 Digest.indd 6

7/14/21 10:56 AM

Are you licensed, bonded and insured?

Most states require contractors and their employees to take and pass an exam, as well as attend annual education courses to maintain their license. If they are insured, so are their employees. This is vital when choosing a contractor, because if they are not insured and someone gets injured on your property, you will be liable and they can sue. Bonds, such as a surety bond, will ensure that if they go out of business mid-renovation or they do not finish the job for another reason, you are not liable for the additional costs to fix the job or pay their bill.

What is the cost breakdown?

Never settle for a general or overall price estimate. Asking for an itemized cost breakdown is a vital step in the interview process. This way, you can see what they are charging you for and decide on any changes before they start. Oftentimes, there are many hidden fees that a homeowner may never know about. With a cost breakdown, you can discuss your options, update plans and even consider more cost-effective materials for your project.

What is the anticipated timeline for this project?

After discussing the cost, you want to understand how much time your project will take. Of course, you will likely not be offered a set finish date, as weather and other incidents may change things. Remember that delays are common and unforeseen circumstances may end up changing the completion date. Work closely with the contractor to set an anticipated start and end date, and if you need the work finished by a specific date, be sure to mention this now rather than later.

How long have you worked in this area?

In order to build a good reputation in a city or community, contractors must perform at a high-quality standard. Understanding how long they have been in business and how long their employees have been working with them will give you a better idea of how the finished

product will look. If they have experience working in your area before, they will have a better understanding of permit regulations and any possible issues in your area, such as piping and electrical work, that you may not be privy to.

Can you share references from past customers?

Will you obtain the correct permits?

Can we put everything in writing?

Previous customers are your best source of information on how well a contractor performed. In addition to doing your own research and reading online reviews, ask them to share a few past customers for you to speak with. When you do reach out, ask questions such as, “Were deadlines and expectations met?” and “What were your best and worst experiences working with this contractor?” This will help you get a better understanding of the contractor’s communication skills, as well as the quality of work you are paying them for.

Permits are almost always required for professional remodeling jobs. Make sure that your potential contractor understands the rules and guidelines for permits in your area, and that they will help to schedule a visit from an inspector. Once a building inspector reviews the project and approves it, your contractor will be issued a permit to start the work. Remember to ask for copies of any and all permits for your records. If a contractor tells you they do not need a permit, do not hire them!

In addition to collecting copies of the required permits, you want to ensure everything is put in writing. Every detail should be included in a contract, such as payment schedules, cost breakdown, timetables, materials purchased and other essential information. Before you decide on a contractor, be sure contracts are complete and signed before any work is started. Do not trust a contractor who refuses to put things in writing or tries to talk you out of a contract.

Summer

ENERGY-SAVING TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AT HOME THIS

As summer temperatures soar, it’s tempting to turn on the air conditioning full blast—assuming you have such a system. But whether you do or not, electric air conditioning isn’t cheap to run, nor is it eco-friendly. Given that Americans use more than double the electricity than many other nations do, sustainability experts suggest energy-efficient ways to stay cool in your home this summer, no matter how hot it gets outside. USE FANS - Standing or table-top, circulating fans are quiet, effective, and economical for cooling small areas. Keep one in each of the rooms you regularly use and chill out in comfort for less. MIST YOUR BED - At bedtime, mist your bed with cold water from the fridge, then turn a fan nearby. This will create an evaporative cooling effect, allowing you to sleep more comfortably even on very hot nights. TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS - Lights generate heat, so turn them down or off whenever you can do without them. USE LIGHT BLOCKING CURTAINS - In sunny rooms, light-blocking drapes or curtains can help keep a room from building up heat.

Creative Living 76 Digest.indd 5

BE MINDFUL OF OVEN USE - Oven heat lingers, and nobody wants too much hot food when it’s sweltering out. Eat colorful, proteinbased salads for optimal nutrition and if you must turn on the oven, do so mainly in the early morning. DON’T LINGER AT THE FRIDGE - Refrigerators work harder in hot weather. Standing by an open fridge door while you debate what to eat lets out the cool air and makes the fridge work even harder and use more energy. TAKE SHORTER, COOLER SHOWERS - A short, cool shower is a great way to cool your skin and help you feel fresh. You can also cool down (along with the kids) under a refreshing garden hose sprinkle.

ADD COLOR

TO YOUR BACKYARD WITH THESE DESIGN IDEAS

Even with the beauty that Mother Nature offers, you can heighten the look of your backyard with pops of color and interesting decor. With spring and summer right around the corner, many people are creating the ultimate outdoor entertainment space. Here are some design tips to add color to your backyard. HANG A HAMMOCK

INSTALL A BIRDBATH

If you’re looking to create a spot for ultimate relaxation, consider adding a hammock to a shaded corner of your yard. Have fun with colors by mixing and matching the hammock materials with the surrounding plants, creating an oasis that promotes wellness and health.

A birdbath offers a unique and natural way to bring more color into your yard. Of course, the birdbath can be painted any color you’d like, but the best part of this feature is how it attracts all different species of birds. From bluebirds to cardinals, robins to chickadees, a place for them to take a bath will cause your backyard to be full of color and life in no time.

DISPLAY PLANTS IN COLORFUL POTS Of course, plants and flowers can add an array of colors to your yard, but what you put them in can create a unique look to fit a theme or color scheme. Shop for pots with interesting patterns and designs that will tie together your space. Even look for light, bright hanging pots to add dimension and create a focal point.

Creative Living 76 Digestsize.indd 5

HAVE FUN WITH THROW PILLOWS If you have created an area on your back deck or in your yard dedicated to relaxing and hanging out with family and friends, you likely have a couch or a few chairs. Incorporating throw pillows is a great way to show off your style and add a pop of color. Choose a pattern, color scheme or even different shaped throw pillows to create a comfortable and cozy sitting area.
