Happy owners don’t write

‌D

ear Edith: It seems like all I read about timeshares is how awful they are to get rid of, and how people are unhappy with them. Are there folks EDITH LANK who like their timeshare?

Is it a case of you only hearing about the problems, not the successes? If I were interested in one, what would your advice be? — askedith.com Answer: I’m sure there are lots of people who enjoy owning timeshares, and I’m sure you’re right that they’re not the ones who write to me.

My advice would be: Don’t regard a timeshare as an investment. It’s not a parcel of real estate that can be expected to increase in value. Most timeshares are eventually resold at an average of less than 10 percent of the original cost.

Timeshare ownership can be a convenient, inexpensive way to vacation in the same place every year.

Sometimes there’s a way to exchange timeshares with other owners for variety, but don’t count on that.

And years from now, when your family’s needs have changed, understand that it may cost something to get free of it.

Owning a timeshare can be a money-saving, trouble-free convenience, but it shouldn’t be considered an investment.

Suspecting Advice

Ms. Lank: You recently suggested approaching lenders for financial analysis. I agree lenders/bankers do provide information.

However, I would enter a caveat there.

They are in the business of making loans and are going to tell you the maximum you could possibly borrow/spend. That’s not necessarily what you really

can afford or need to spend.

You need to ask yourself whether you want to have extra cash at the end of the month to maybe plant some trees, paint a room, visit a restaurant or go on vacation. Having purchased homes in Texas, Pennsylvania and New York, I can say that once the bankers see you can afford a certain amount, the Realtors and bankers push you to spend that much.

But if you want to be financially sound, spend less than you can afford. I have found it to be a very good lesson learned. — S. J. Answer: I agree with your advice to spend less than the maximum you may be offered. There’s nothing wrong, though, with finding out how much you could qualify to borrow.

That’s what bankers will tell you, and they should.

The real estate brokers I know are much more interested in putting together a trouble-free deal than in squeezing people for their last dime. Years ago, when I had a real estate license, I was delighted with people who didn’t want to spend more just because they could. Knowing they would easily qualify for a loan made house hunting a particularly pleasant experience.

My guess is that most agents would say the same thing. And I suspect lenders also find it relaxing to deal with well-qualified — over-qualified — buyers.

There’s nothing wrong, though, with finding out how much you could borrow if you want to.

Want New Variety

Ms. Lank: This is not a question but a complaint.

We are nearing retirement age and ready to downsize, but the only smaller houses are in senior communities. We want new

construction in a multigenerational neighborhood, but builders keep building larger houses, many with a lot of wasted footage, which makes the houses unaffordable. Retirees, couples with no children, frequent travelers and even busy young professionals who don’t want the headache of maintaining a large home are left with no choice.

Thus, we will stay in our present home. I am guessing there are many more in our situation.

Look forward to your next column. — B., askedith.com Answer: I suppose what you’re looking for might be found in an older neighborhood, which is more likely to hold a variety of homes.

Newer developments may have building code restrictions on the theory that maximum value is reached when everything in a neighborhood is more or less the same size and costs about the same.

Keep looking. Your brand-new retirement home is out there somewhere — in a mixed neighborhood — just waiting for you.

To “Dear Sir”

Dear Sir: I am attending my senior year in high school, and we have a term paper that has to be 50 to 100 pages typed. I need information, and I am doing it on the housing industry and real estate. Please send me all information you have, 50 to 100 pages typed. — M. Answer: Sorry, but I don’t feel like writing your term paper for you.

Plumber: Composite panels becoming popular for alternative shower stalls

‌Q

uestion: Dear Ed, we are remodeling our bathroom to include a walk-in shower. We want to design a custom shower, but do not want to use ED DEL tile. Do you GRANDE have any suggestions on how we can build our shower stall using alternative materials?

- Mary and Tommy, Florida Answer: Let’s start from the bottom up. If you’re not going to use tile, usually you need to first choose a premade shower base. Shower bases are factory-made and available in different sizes and materials. A cast-iron shower base can be a solid choice.

Graft on new variety to get seedless fruits

‌Q

uestion: I bought a grafted grape vine that the sign at the store said was seedless, but the grapes have large, JEFF RUGG hard seeds in them.

Is there anything that can be done to make them seedless?

Answer: That is a good question. How can you get seedless grapes or watermelons, for that

matter, if there are no seeds to grow a new plant?

First, before we get to the plants, it is possible the plant you received was mislabeled. I don’t know how you could prove it, but I think that is the most likely answer.

Many seedless grapes contain soft, immature seeds. That is normal for some supposedly

seedless grapes. Occasionally, the seed traces are large enough to be bothersome. Traces of seeds in berries of the same variety vary greatly in size and in the hardness of their seed coats. Sometimes a cold or hot spring affects seed trace size, but there is nothing you can do.

You have three options. Leave the plant as it is and enjoy the

faster and easier than replacing all the plants with small young ones that will take longer to get the field back into production.

OK, so what about seedless watermelons? They don’t live long enough to get a woody stem that could be grafted, so how do you get seedless annual plants?

seeded grapes. Dig out the plant and replace it with the variety you wanted. And, lastly, cut off the top and graft on a new grape variety. Grafting should be done in the spring, so you have plenty of time to think about that option.

Occasionally, vineyards will replace an entire crop of grapes by grafting on a new variety in the entire field. This is rare, but it is

Market is a treasure hunt on steroids

budget. So I’m always scouting for affordable substitutes for high-end favorites, cheaters that deliver a similar look without the high price tag.

Rebecca was particularly crazy about some glassware we discovered, at really affordable prices. “I cannot wait to see these items get folded into the mix. When your customers lift them up to see the prices, they are going to be thrilled!” she said.

hen some girlfriends get together, they go to lunch. My friend Rebecca and I go to market. Twice a year, we hop on a plane bound for the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings MarMARY ket. Jazzed up CAROL on caffeine and GARRITY adrenaline, we run at a dizzying pace, hunting for treasures we think customers will love.

Rebecca and I are kindred spirits. Like me, she is a retail brat who has been going to market most of her life. Some of us can never really get retail out of our blood, so, despite her corporate career and three active kids, she carves out time twice a year to be my market pal. I’m so glad she does, because her positive energy and boundless creativity rev my engine.

Here is our 10-point strategy for success during our madcapped trips to market...

1. Market prep: bring on the decorating magazines!

To get us juiced about allthings interior design, Rebecca and I pregame by pouring over decorating magazines on the plane ride to Atlanta. Our rule is we have to look at the magazines together, so neither one of us gets to see the best stuff first.

(Yes, we are kinda crazy competitive in that way.)

2. Caffeine. Duh!

At market, the days start early and last forever, with very few breaks for sustenance. So you have to have strong jet fuel in your tank.

3. Cover the basics.

8. Arm our visual design team.

Our visual design team works magic with everything I bring back from market. They can take a single bowl, for example, and style it a dozen different ways.

So at market, my goal is to find versatile pieces they can experiment with to create inspiring displays throughout the store.

5. Make emotional decisions.

I have made some terrific friends at market through the years, so these buying pilgrimages are like a family reunion, minus the crazy relatives. This year, I got to meet Mac, a market friend’s brand new grandson.

Business gurus would cringe if they knew how I make decisions at market. I don’t use any data on market trends or past sales. I just follow my gut. Here’s why: I can usually tell within seconds whether a piece is right for us.

Rules are meant to be

BROKEN ‌I nterior design and decorating are somewhat bound by rules developed overtime to regulate housekeeping, maintenance and aesthetics. Some rules are the result of etiquette and protocol from the days when those things JOSEPH PUBILLONES mattered a lot, and your home spoke volumes about your education, wealth and social standing. Many consider these rules a thing of the past and, as with most norms, that innovation can result from when we break them. Here are a few decorating rules to consider and break when necessary.

One pair of pillows always looks skimpy. Use two pairs, in contrasting patterns, colors and textures, and always throw in an odd one for contrast or as a conversation piece.

Small-scale furniture only makes a small bedroom look smaller. Try a high bed and a tall headboard. Your room will grow.

Mix styles. A four-poster bed will take the chill out of a modern bedroom.

An open armoire is more interesting than a closed one. Let people into your secret world.

The fastest way to make over sliding closet doors is to wallpaper them.

Every large collection needs order. Wall brackets and linear shelving can bring order to a large collection or odd shapes.

Use a real rug in the bathroom. Use a rug instead of a bath mat. It was made to withstand a lot more wear than the occasional wet foot.

What sofa? There is no rule that a living room has to have a sofa.

Whenever in doubt, white walls work. You’ll never get tired of a white room.

Dark walls can do the opposite of what you’d expect: They’ll make a small room feel bigger.

Layer your lights. Four lamps

are better than two. You need ambient light for mood and direct light for reading.

Tuck in your throws. Keep throws under control. Fold them lengthwise, and then in half.

Then tuck them into cushions so they look neat and tailored.

Kick your traditional cocktail table to the curb. The most versatile cocktail table you’ll ever own is an ottoman topped with a tray.

Skirted and fringed furniture finishes a room. Too many chair and table legs can make a room seem temporary. A skirted piece or two will make it feel “grounded,” just make sure there is balance so the room doesn’t feel heavy.

Gold is gorgeous. Gold is back in a big way. A few accents will warm up a room, like brass trimmed furniture or accents.

Give a room a touch of some green. Nothing softens a lonely corner in a big room like a potted tree or a planted orchid. Plants are sometimes the best decorative accessories.

Leather is almost forever.

The most durable fabric for dining chairs is leather or vinyl, especially if you want white.

Switch up your seating in every room. Mix up the seating at your dining table for a “collected over time” look. You wouldn’t have eight identical chairs in your living area.

Love your closets. Paint them, paper them, hang pictures in them to inspire you. And definitely light them.

Refinish vintage finds. Don’t be afraid to paint a vintage piece.

Every piece of furniture can’t and shouldn’t be brown.

Pick your paint colors last.

From H6

Besides seedless fruits, there are actually a lot of seedless flowers and shrubs grown in our gardens. Any flower whose sexual parts have been replaced by flower petals to create a double-flowering plant with lots of flower petals will be seedless.

These watermelons and other annuals are hybrids. In other words, they are the specific offspring of parents that produce seedless or double-flowering babies. In the case of watermelons, one parent has a normal number of chromosomes and the other has twice as many. The resulting offspring is a seed that when grown will produce a watermelon. The watermelon will try to grow seeds with three sets of chromosomes and the seeds won’t mature within it.

Double-flowering plants can’t occur in nature for very long. They don’t produce seeds, so once the rosebush, camellia plant, petunia plant, cherry plant, plum plant, almond plant or other double-flowering plant dies, there aren’t any more. Once grafting and other propagation methods came along, these pretty plants were kept alive. They have the benefit of being pretty and low-maintenance.

Any home being considered for multi-generational living should have as many bedrooms and bathrooms, or bedrooms that share a bathroom in a Jack and Jill layout. Sharing bathrooms is quite tricky and can be the source of many arguments, so when possible, keep similar users together. A great suggestion for any bathroom is to split the bath or shower from the toilet and vanity. This will allow for more than one user to be able to access a bathroom during peak times such as before the school or work rush.

Lounging and other activities such as TV watching and computer stations should be arranged in close proximity, but somewhat separated so that multiple activities can take place at the same time.

Each member of the household should feel free to use any part of the home, without specifically designated areas for anyone; rooms should be designed for If building or remodeling from the communal use. ground up, it is a good idea to cluster bedrooms near each other.

How to add more natural light to your home

‌W

hen natural light has the freedom to flow through your home, it not only gives new life to the neglected nooks, corners and crannies throughout your interior space—it BRANDON provides an all new window into your PURDUM home’s hidden potential. Adding a little daylight can go a long way toward brightening dark rooms, revitalizing your home’s interior and even recharging your mood.

Here are a few ideas for unleashing the power of natural light in your home:

Walk your home

Where is your home’s natural light coming from? Which areas or rooms could use a bit more?

A room-to-room assessment can provide you a better sense of your home’s natural light sources—windows, glass doors and skylights—as well as those spots that could use a sun-powered boost.

As you walk your home, be sure to note any large plants or furniture preventing outside light from making the maximum impact. You might be surprised how quickly a little rearranging can transform a dusty, under-lit space into a delightful, design-beckoning backdrop.

Check you window treatments Dark shades and heavy curtains create havoc for spaces in desperate need of daylight. Consider replacing these treatments with lighter, breezier colors and materials that better disperse natural light across dark rooms.

A new window dressing may be what you need not only to capture more of the sun’s cleansing rays, but also to transform that boring bathroom, bedroom or kitchen into a brighter, more inviting indoor space.

Pull out the paintbrush

A new coat of paint can really perk up those spaces thirsting for a bit of sunlight. Painting dark walls with reflective, light-

And for areas where security and privacy are paramount, frosted and tinted glass doors Get glassy provide a great light-enhanceReplacing solid wood entry and passageway doors with glass ment option – allowing you to doors can be a great way to move rejuvenate that lifeless second more natural light through your bathroom without inviting unhome. For those areas that could wanted attention. friendly colors gives daylight more room to roam. Lighter paint can also provide a powerful design element that contrasts any dark furniture, doors and trim that make your space unique.

Neutral colors like white, tan and gray have broad design potential and tend to work best for improving a room’s natural light.

Look to the sky

Is your kitchen craving the spotlight? With a new skylight above your countertops, you can turn that ordinary, run-of-themill space into the conversationstarting centerpiece it was always meant to be. Skylights provide your home direct, daylong access to natural light in ways few other methods can— enhancing atmosphere, adding character and creating the interior space your family will flock to for years to come.

Skylights are available in three main types—fixed, ventilating

and tubular—and can range anywhere between $900 and $2,300 to install. A local skylight pro can help you determine the type and size that best suits your home.

Patios

Patios or decks are often perfect spaces for outdoor dining and entertainment. A great use may be an outdoor kitchen or barbecue area.

When setting up an outdoor eating or dining space, one rule of thumb is to allow enough room for both your family and if possible, two to four additional guests.

Additional outdoor spaces If you have additional outdoor space in which to build, you may want to consider adding in some enhanced amenities like fire pits, spas, gardens and pools.

Fertilize bulbs when they come out of the ground ‌ Q uestion: My tulips and daffodils are coming up. When is the best time to fertilize them?

Answer: Right now is the perfect time.

Most people wait until the end of flowering, but just as they are coming up out of the ground is better. A bulb wants to produce flowers and seeds JEFF RUGG right now, and then it must store carbohydrates in the bulb for next year. We want the flowers, but we don’t want the seeds to develop, so when the flowers are done, cut off the flower stalk to prevent any seeds from growing.

Don’t cut off any leaves until they have turned yellow, and never tie them together in ugly little bunches. Fertilize using a fertilizer with a high middle number, such as a 15-30-15 or a 10-20-10. By fertilizing when the leaves are coming up, you give the plant the most time to grow and store food for next year. If you wait until after it is done blooming, there is much less time for the leaves to produce carbohydrates for next year’s food supply.

Questions from readers Q: I have tried to grow oregano and sage for the past couple of summers. They both die within a few weeks. They seem to melt away. I don’t see any bugs or slugs, and I try to keep them watered. I want to try more herbs, but with so little success on my two favorites, I am not sure I want to spend the time and money. Do you have any growing tips for herbs?

A: Herbs are usually low-maintenance.

They do require certain growing conditions to grow well. Both of the herbs you mention, as well as fennel, lavender, rosemary, sweet marjoram and thyme, are known as perennial Mediterranean herbs.

They grow well in a climate like the one you would find around the Mediterranean Sea. In the U.S., that is the climate around the San Francisco area. That doesn’t mean that is the only area they can grow in, just that we need to mimic it in our garden.

Since you mention that the plants seem to melt away, I think they are getting way too much water. The roots are drowning, and the plants wither and die.

The more they wither, the more water you give them and, therefore, you hasten the death. Mediterranean plants are very drought-tolerant and like dry soil that drains fast after a rain.

513 7th Street Sioux City, IA 51101 712-255-5611 888-880-4517 premierrealtygrp.com

If you are trying to plant an herb garden in one specific area, you can raise the bed to allow for quick drainage. Depending on the garden decor, you can use timbers, stones or a steep slope to get the drainage.

Fill the bed with a sandy soil. The plants listed are all perennials, so make the herb garden out of sturdy materials.
