Comforting Color

In the world of design, what’s old inevitably becomes new again, and a similar pattern is inspiring today’s on-trend color palettes for home decor. The latest styles reflect reviving and comforting colors influenced by heritage and romance, lending to a look that is familiar in an individualistic way.

Whether living through the romance of rural lifestyles, the comfort of home or the nostalgia from far-off times, some of today’s most beloved design aesthetics celebrate the past, present and future while bringing balance, hope and comfort for you and your family to embrace.

Timeless Color

Using color to evoke feelings and emotions is hardly new but combining a carefully curated color palette with other design elements can allow you to create a look that pays homage to the past while breathing new life into your living space.

Reimagining classic, familiar tones allows you to achieve a design motif that is equal parts reminiscent and refreshing.

o you prefer walking and biking to sitting in traffi c? Love the hustle and bustle of the city but abhor long commutes? Enjoy taking a spontaneous stroll to a nearby restaurant for dinner and music. If this sounds like you, we suggest you forget life in the ‘burbs and go urban.

A growing resurgence in downtown Nashville has brought a wealth of living options to the city’s urban landscape, along with a vibrant community of restaurants, shops and clubs.

For urban dwellers, The Gulch in downtown Nashville is the place to be. Properties like Velocity, Terrazzo and Encore offer the ultimate digs for downtown living. And with the tremendous growth this former railroad yard has seen, you can always fi nd something to do here. Of course there’s always music. (It is Music City, after all.) Travel + Leisure

recently cited Nashville as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. From Tootsie’s to Mercy Lounge to The Station Inn, downtown music venues offer everything from rock and country to bluegrass and rockabilly.

If you’re looking to set up shop, office space downtown is plentiful and growing. Speaking of the office: Did you know that Forbes.com ranks Nashville 10th in the country of “Best Places for Business and Careers”? And sixth among “Best Cities for Jobs”? Plus Business Insider recently took note of Nashville as one of the “13 Hottest American Cities for 2016.” The nod cited Music City as the “new center of the auto and health-care industries,” noting 300- plus health-care companies and more than 30,000 auto industry jobs.

The growth, action and entertainment extend to numerous dining and entertainment options down on Lower Broadway and out on West End. Not to mention the Tennessee Performing Arts Center, The Parthenon, Centennial Park, Hillsboro Village… the list goes on.

Davidson

These are just a few of the reasons to consider living in the heart of Music City. One more reason: We’re just so darn nice. But don’t take our word for it. Travel + Leisure’s 2015 survey ranked Nashville #1 on its list of America’s Friendliest Cities.

“The Vintage Homestead Color Collection offers an effortless look that reveals the importance of being hopeful to find stability and balance,” said Ashley Banbury, HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams senior color designer. “Our 2023 Color Collection of the Year revives elements from the past that are perfectly paired with vintage, comfortable and classic colors.”

Blending Past and Present

Striking a balance between old and new can take many forms, as these styles show:

Heritage Revival: An interest in reviving the past is evident in design trends like a remerging appreciation of antiques and vintage elements, such oversized furniture and traditional shapes. To capture this style, your design should focus on contrasting old and new for a mix-and-match look.

A cohesive color scheme can allow the various elements to stand on their own while working in harmony for an intentional design. For example, the HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams 2023 Color Collection of the Year includes a combination of familiar tones that have been thoughtfully curated by design experts who borrow color and design concepts from the past for a hopeful future and a sense of belonging. Hues like Poetry Plum and Hot Cocoa evoke warmth and depth, while moderate shades like Restrained Gold and Glamour offer fresh ways to incorporate mid-range neutrals. Meanwhile, soft tones like Natural Linen and Cool Beige offer subtle color for lighter, brighter spaces.

Mixing and Matching of Eras: A new take on retro design is emerging in which eras are blended and new and old furnishing work side by side. To get this look, you’ll craft a space that marries historical and contemporary design, celebrating both old and new. To design for longevity, incorporate pieces that are ambiguous in era and stand the test of time.

Vintage Homestead: Reviving design elements from the past with mixed patterns, classic shapes and vintage decor adds up to comfortable and comforting design. With this trend, prints and patterns encompass a range of styles, reinforcing how interiors connect to fashion. Mixing classic elegance with sleek vintage shapes is refining the concept of polished comfort. To achieve the look, curate pieces in heritage shapes and patterns, along with retro accents. Be sure to incorporate vintage lighting and glass, as well.

A versatile color choice like Darkroom, the 2023 Color of the Year from HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams, is an alluring shade that is classic enough for heritage interiors but also modernly retro for a throwback-inspired aesthetic. It’s a neutral perfect for creating an eclectic yet modern look inside and out.

ashville has long been known for its country music scene, but these days the city draws attention for more than its tunes. National publications are tak ing note of everything Nashville, from food and fashion

meals (Margot Cafe & Bar). And with standout restaurants like Adele’s, The Catbird Seat and Husk, the city is drawing attention from publications like USA Today and Southern Living.

Nashville’s vibrant music scene is another trait that earns nods. Travel + Leisure recently cited the city as having the #1 “Music Scene” in the country. And with venues like The Bluebird Cafe, 3rd and Lindsley, The Station Inn and Ryman Auditorium, it’s no surprise that Orbitz declared Nashville’s music scene as #4 in the country (right behind NYC, LA and Chicago).

In 2015, Forbes magazine ranked Nashville on its list of “Boom Towns for College Graduates,” and Forbes.com calls Music City one of the “Best Places for Business and Careers.” Time declared the city as “Red Hot” for a burgeoning music business, a diverse and thriving music scene, and our charming ability to live among the stars and leave them alone.

Some may think of Nashville as a meat-and-three kind of town, but Nashville’s hip food scene is getting noticed. Travel + Leisure lauded the city for offerings as diverse as hot chicken (Prince’s), Mexican popsicles (Las Paletas) and farm-to-table

Nashville has even been noticed for one of its delightful Southern charms: its accent. While accents are sometimes the source of jokes and ridicule, Travel + Leisure readers seem to think otherwise. On a list of “America’s Most Charming Accents,” readers ranked Nashville #4. Seems folks love the Nashville drawl, y’all, noting that residents here have “added some city” to their Southern accent.

Music City is also a thriving hub for industry; many companies have a long history here. Bridgestone, HCA, BMI, Thomas Nelson Publishing, Louisiana-Pacific and Dollar General all have corporate offi ces here — a testament to strong business foundations and economic growth.

What to Do if Your Mortgage Application is Denied

If you dream of homeownership, having your mortgage application denied can be devastating. If this does happen to you, it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Thirteen percent of all purchase mortgage applications -- a total of nearly 650,000 -- were denied in 2020, according to federal government data.

Before quickly reapplying for a loan, it’s important to fi rst understand the reasons your loan was denied. The lender is required to disclose that information to you within 30 days of its decision. You can also call your lender for further explanation. Having this knowledge will help you work toward building your eligibility for a mortgage.

In some instances, the situation involves a quick fi x, such as providing missing or incomplete documentation. However, if the reasons cited for your application denial involve down payment cost, a low credit score, an adverse credit history or a high debtto-income ratio, here are six steps you can take toward recovery:

1. Consult a Housing Counselor. Consider speaking to a community-based credit counselor or a HUD-certifi ed housing counselor. They can help you create a plan to increase your savings, decrease your debt, improve your credit, access down payment assistance or take advantage of first-time homebuyer programs.

2. Improve Your Credit. In a 2022 Freddie Mac survey of consumers denied a mortgage application in the past four years, three in fi ve cited debt or credit issues as reasons given for their initial denial. If this describes you, take time to improve your credit profile before applying for another loan. Good credit demonstrates responsible money management and gives you more purchasing power, opening doors to better loan terms and products. Visit creditsmart.freddiemac.com to access Freddie Mac’s

CreditSmart suite of free financial education resources that can help you understand the fundamentals of credit and prepare you for homeownership.

3. Pay Down Debt. In the application process, lenders will look at your recurring monthly debts, such as car payments, student loans and credit card loans. By lowering or paying down monthly debts, you can build a positive credit history and lower your debtto-income ratio. Not sure where to start? Tackle your debt with the highest interest rate first.

4. Obtain Gift Funds. If you’re short on money for your down payment, you may be able to use gift funds from a family member to decrease the amount you need to borrow.

5. Find a Co-Signer. A co-signer applies for the loan with you, agreeing to take responsibility for the loan should you default. The co-signer’s credit, income and debts will be evaluated to make sure they can assume payments if necessary. In addition to ensuring your co-signer has good credit, you should make sure they are aware of this responsibility and have sufficient income to cover the payment.

6. Look for a Lower-Cost Home. Remember, you should only borrow an amount you feel comfortable repaying. You may need to look for a lower-cost home than you’re financially prepared to purchase and maintain.

Woffered on site and online, Vol State is an educational and economic asset to Sumner County and the entire region.

The Gallatin area is a sportsman’s paradise; fishing and boating opportunities abound along the county’s many miles of shoreline on Old Hickory Lake, and lakefront or golf course homes are plentiful at communities like Fairvue Plantation. Hendersonville has an extensive system of greenway biking and walking trails with plans to expand its bike trail system. Several golf courses dot the county, including Country Hills Golf Course and Bluegrass Yacht & Country Club - both in Hendersonville), and The Club at Fairvue Plantation and Long Hollow Golf Course - both in Gallatin).

The Greensboro North Park & Ride lot in Gallatin is making life easier for Sumner County commuters, with the Regional Transit Authority’s Gallatin Express bus not only easing the commute for those who ride the bus but also reducing traffic for those who drive.

hether you’re strolling downtown Franklin, dining in Cool Springs, shopping at The Factory or looking for antiques in Leiper’s Fork, you’ll find that Williamson County supports diverse lifestyles and offers a wealth of housing options.

From Franklin’s Westhaven community, which features a walkable design with retail establishments located in the neighborhood, to the rural setting of Winterset Woods in Nolensville, you’ll find plenty of new homes to choose from. And whether you choose a larger city like Franklin (the county seat) or one of the smaller communities like Arrington or Fairview, you’ll find housing and amenities in a variety of styles and price ranges.

It’s hard to decide whether Franklin is a big city with a small-town feel or a small town with big-city advantages.

CoolSprings Galleria and its surrounding business district serve

a variety of consumer needs — from dining to furniture, housewares to clothing and more. The Crossings in nearby Spring Hill features tenants like Target, Kirkland’s, and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

If you prefer the rural life, head to the pastoral paradise of Thompson’s Station, located just minutes from downtown Franklin and not that far from downtown Nashville. In nearby Nolensville, you can stop in at the new Nolensville Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers, homemade foods and more.

Williamson County is home to businesses large and small, from home-owned enterprises like Yarrow Acres and McCreary’s Irish Pub to national headquarters for companies like Nissan, Tractor Supply and Mars Petcare. Small wonder, then, that Bloomberg ranked the Nashville area (including Franklin and Murfreesboro) as number eight on its list of Top 10 American Boomtowns (based on population growth and growth in gross domestic product). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, last year Williamson was the #1 county on the list of Fastest Growing Job Markets in the U.S., and Backgroundcheck.org ranked the cities of Brentwood (#1) Franklin (#3) and Spring Hill (#5) among the Safest Cities in Tennessee. With small-town charm, major employers and a healthy economic climate, if you’re looking for good country living in a growing and thriving community, Williamson County could be just the place.

5CANDLE SCENTS

that will put the ho ho ho in your holiday entertaining

“Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays,” crooned Perry Como in the iconic 1954 classic Christmas song of the same name. That stirring sentiment, for many, rings particularly true this year as we look forward to once again hosting celebrations at home with loved ones. If you’re planning to stay home for the holidays, now is the time to start thinking about how you can create a festive and joyful atmosphere for yourself and your guests.

Decorations, food and entertainment are all important aspects of the holiday season, but another impactful way you can create a homey holiday feel is through fragrance. “Our sense of smell is our strongest sense,” said Harry Slatkin, home fragrance expert and founder of Slatkin & Co. “It goes straight to your brain and can recall a memory and give you a sense of joy in an instant.”

As you return home for the holidays this year, Slatkin, dubbed the “Candle King” by The New York Times, offers these five home fragrance tips to create a festive and joyful holiday atmosphere with scented candles.

1. Scents to greet your guests

When your guests arrive, you’ll want to have a scented candle burning that makes them feel relaxed and uplifted as soon as they walk in. In your entryway, light an aromatic candle with notes of pine or fir balsam to greet guests with a fresh, woodsy fragrance.

Even if you don’t have a Christmas tree, a scented candle with notes of pine needles and juniper will have guests believing that you brought one home that day. You can also opt for other evergreen candles with notes of white birch and crisp winter air to capture the scents of a snowy winter day in the woods.

2. Scents to gather around

No matter where you start the evening, chances are everyone will eventually gather and end the night in your living room. To create a cheerful and festive atmosphere, choose a candle with bright, invigorating notes like Christmas Joy. This lively fragrance blends sparkling citrus notes with a variety of holiday spices, fresh cranberries and blue spruce that will remind you and guests of cherished holidays spent sipping mulled wine in front of the fireplace.

3. Scents for the cooking and dining areas

Choosing a scent for spaces where you will be cooking or

eating can be tricky because you don’t want a candle fragrance to compete with the aroma of your holiday dishes. Likewise, burning a scented candle during dinner can interfere with the dining experience and take away the enjoyment of the meal and ambiance.

Instead, after the cooking is finished, burn a gourmand-scented candle in the kitchen with notes of buttercream and brown sugar that will have your guests’ mouths watering. Even if there is nothing cooking in the kitchen, the inviting fragrance will have them thinking you just took a tray of freshly baked sugar cookies out of the oven.

4. Scents for you

As a host, don’t get so caught up in the party planning that you forget to enjoy the holiday season. Take time to take care of yourself by relaxing alone at home in your favorite spot with an aromatherapy candle. A scented candle with soothing notes of geranium, frankincense and cedarwood can produce a sense of tranquility and calm to help you find a sense of inner peace during the busy holiday season.

5. Scents for the ones you love

Gift a sensory experience by buying scented candles for those near and dear to you. While the act of gifting scented candles may have served as a punchline on late-night TV in recent years, the $23 billion U.S. home fragrance market is no joke. Americans love scented candles. For a wide variety of choices, check out the Homeworx by Slatkin & Co. collection of 4-wick candles. Whether your loved ones prefer warm, comforting candles with notes of cinnamon, pumpkin and vanilla, gourmand and fruity scents or woodsy, winter-themed fragrances, you’re sure to find options to satisfy them all. Best of all, they’ll think of you every time they light their candles.

“There is no stronger connection between scent and feelings of peace and joy than during the holiday season,” said Slatkin. “It is a special time when we create and celebrate memories with family and friends, and scent is the common thread that ties them all together.”

Set the seasonal mood with scents that evoke warmth, relaxation and togetherness. Using these five home fragrance tips, you can create a holiday everyone is sure to remember.

f you’re looking to settle in an area where you can enjoy small-town values with big-city benefits nearby, Wilson County is a wise choice. Whether you choose the county seat of Lebanon with its quaint city square, Mt. Juliet with its easy access to Nashville or Watertown and its rural charm, Wilson County offers a place where education is valued and the county fair is the event of the year. Business is booming here, which is a testament to the friendly business climate. No doubt that business-friendly attitude played a part in the growth of the Providence community in Mt. Juliet, which is adding Providence Central, a mixed-use community of housing, retail and office space.

Wilson County has also been making strides in expanding and upgrading the county’s schools. The county commission approved a $63-million school building plan that paid for a new high school in Watertown (which opened in 2014) and brought expansions at West

Wilson Middle School and West and Rutland elementary schools. In recent years the county has added Winfree Bryant Middle School in Lebanon (2011), Lebanon High School (2012) and a high school in Mt. Juliet (2008).

Other signs of growth include the Highway 109 bridge joining Wilson and Sumner counties. Completed in 2014, the $29.5 million four-lane structure, replaced an old two-lane bridge from the 1950s. Leaders in both counties say the bridge will provide an economic boost for their communities.

Rail transportation is set to expand in Lebanon with a new stop on the Music City Star line. The award of a $1.6-million grant will help fund the proposed rail station at Hamilton Springs, making it Middle Tennessee’s first mixed-use development designed around a train station. The Lebanon Planning Commission approved the site plan for the train stop last year. Hamilton Springs will be the seventh station on the Music City Star line.

But it’s not all growth and business in Wilson County. People here also know how to have fun. Take their pride in producing a top-notch county fair. According to Carnival Warehouse, based on attendance and other attributes, the Wilson County Fair ranks among the top 50 fairs in North America. From pride in a county fair to savvy business and civic leaders who promote a healthy business climate, there are many reasons to love and live in Wilson County.

Electric fireplaces spark simple home improvement solutions

Many people are surprised to learn that installing a wall-mounted electric fireplace doesn’t require any structural modifications. In fact, it’s similar to hanging a wall-mounted TV, shelving or large piece of artwork. You’ll need common household tools such as a level, stud finder and drill, and the fireplace will come with a wall mounting kit (including brackets and hardware) and detailed instructions.

“In any existing room where you would like to add an electric fireplace, it’s very easy to add one,” said Heat & Glo Brand Manager Kathy Rogers. “It’s a lot easier to install than a gas fireplace and you don’t need an expert for installation. With just a few tools, a wellplaced electrical outlet, and the revolutionary wall-mount SimpliFire Format electric fireplace, you can bring the comfort of a fireplace to any room in your home.”

Modern electric fireplaces are available in multiple sizes to fit your space and have no mesh screens or visible heat vents. You can zone heat throughout the year with optional heat, bringing comfort where you need it. Dynamic flames and an LED ember bed create ambiance and warmth - if desired - on demand. You can also safely place a TV or artwork directly above the fireplace, which is a plus for many people.This project is typically straightforward and simple to complete, making it the ideal solution for people looking for a home improvement project they can do themselves or hire a handyman or contractor to do in as little as one day. While electric fireplaces

can go in virtually any room, here are some tips for easy installation and the best result:

Select location: Windows and furniture placement often help dictate where an electric fireplace should go. Keep in mind, choosing a wall that doesn’t receive direct sunlight reduces glare. Notice sunlight throughout the day to help determine the best location for installation.

Electricity access: Make sure that you have access to electricity to power your new fireplace. You can choose to either simply plug in your fireplace to a standard outlet or hire a professional to hard-wire it directly.

Check codes: As with any home improvement project, you’ll need to ensure compliance with local building codes. Contact your city or township to get the most recent regulations. Verify codes and read all fireplace installation instructions before you start your project so you avoid any issues.

Whether it’s in a family room, basement, bedroom, bathroom or another space, a wall-mounted electric fireplace brings function and fashion to your home. Visit HeatnGlo.com to learn more about electric fireplaces and get additional expert advice on installation.
