Cover Home

This stately, historical home was designed by noted architect Lloyd Greer Sr. for D.C. Roddey at, what was in 1922, the site of the gates to the old fair grounds, then 1.5 miles north of town. The integrity and beauty of this property have been respectfully maintained, while appropriate improvements have been added throughout the years. Hidden behind a masonry wall is a peaceful formal garden and gunite pool with shallow wading area and lap lanes, and full Bath. The main house includes a Bedroom/Library with En-suite Bath on the first floor, and 4 Bedrooms and 2 full Baths on the second. The added Sun Room, private office, walk through sitting area, 5 fireplaces, original hardwood floors, interior wood shutters – all contribute to the charm, elegance and grace of a personal home, a professional office within a home, or perhaps a Bed and Breakfast enterprise – imagine the possibilities!

LANDSCAPING PROJECTS THAT ADD VALUE TO YOUR HOME

Creative Living 89 Digestsize.indd 3

6/21/22 1:04 PM

hough the real estate market is booming and home prices are already at record highs, it can't hurt to maximize the value of your property, particularly if you're considering listing it for sale. One of the ways to accomplish this is by investing in a well-chosen landscaping project, one that impresses potential buyers and entices them to pay a bit more to close the deal. "When it comes to getting the best price for your home, the power of landscaping to increase your home's value can't be overlooked," says Beatrice de Jong, broker and consumer trends expert for Opendoor. "First impressions are everything, and curb appeal is what potential buyers notice first. ... It will signal to buyers that they can expect the same from the interior and bones of the house." Here are five landscaping projects that industry experts say are worth the investment to boost your home's value. 1. PLANT TREES. One word: trees. It's the landscaping project nearly every expert recommends for increasing a home's value. "Trees can add up to $9,000 to your home's value, but you should grow them a distance from the septic system, driveways and the house itself to prevent any potential interferences," suggests Bryan McKenzie, co-founder of Bumper Crop Times. "Otherwise, the value of your home can be decreased as buyers may anticipate costly issues." What he's referring to is potential root damage to the home's foundation, falling branches or more. Wisely placed trees, however, have consistently proven to be a smart investment, says Dan Beaulieu, real estate agent, contractor and founder of Burlington House Buyers.

2. SPRUCE UP THE FRONT WALKWAY. Your walkway is part of a potential buyer's first impression. So, spend some time making your walkway and entrance look pictureperfect. "If the walkway is well-decorated, it instantly creates a good ambiance for the house," says Dawn Templeton, owner and real estate broker with Idaho-based Templeton Real Estate Group. "Plant flowers by the two sides of the walkway, and keep the walkways illuminated properly. It will create a dramatic beauty." 3. INVEST IN A WELL-MAINTAINED LAWN Another major element of curb appeal you should never underestimate is the power of a well-cared-for-lawn or front yard. These have a huge impact on the overall desirability of your home. "My general rule for landscaping is that the home should look at least as nice as the neighboring homes," says de Jong. "At the very least, home sellers should have the lawn mowed, trees pruned, weeds pulled and garden spruced up with some colorful seasonal flowers, because curb appeal is essential to selling a home." An unmaintained lawn, on the other hand, is not only a curb-appeal deterrent; it also sends a red flag to potential buyers that the home wasn't taken care of, de Jong adds. 4. CONSTRUCT A FIRE PIT. Fire pits soared in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic while we were all stuck at home, and they continue to be a major outdoor landscape attraction that increases property value. "A fire pit is an arguably universally beloved home feature, perfect for families, young couples and anyone who loves to host and entertain guests," says de Jong. "When built using less expensive materials ... homeowners can increase the ROI of a fire pit to more than 80% and recoup 78% of the costs," adds de Jong.

Summer

DIY HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS TO TRY THIS

Creative Living 89 Digestsize.indd 1

6/21/22 1:04 PM

ummer is a great time for home improvement projects and DIY updates around the house. Set some time (and money) aside this summer to give your home some TLC. Not only will it increase the overall value of your home, but little upgrades here and there can also save you a lot of money down the line. While some home improvements can be expensive, such as adding central air conditioning or remodeling an entire room of your house, there are more affordable projects that can give you the same effect for a much lower cost. Lumber costs are skyrocketing right now, so if your project calls for it, you’re going to want to plan ahead. Here are some simple, affordable home improvement projects to try this summer that won’t break the bank.

Declutter your home. Organize your entire house if you really want to go all out, or pick a place in your home that needs it most and get to work. Decluttering doesn’t cost anything, and you can earn some money by selling items you no longer use. Plus, you can use your earnings toward other home repairs. “It costs nothing except a week or two of your time, and the ability to let go and part ways with unneeded clutter that no longer brings you or your home joy,” says Emilie Dulles, a lifestyle design expert and founder of Dulles Designs. Your clutter is actually costing you money, and getting rid of things you don’t use can make a lot of room in your house and even give you ideas for other improvements. Because of the warm weather, summer is a good time to declutter and air out those oft-forgotten areas, like the garage, an outdoor shed or the basement, that tend to be used less during colder months.

Refresh your house with paint. Summer is the perfect season for bigger paint projects. If you have areas in your home that you’ve been meaning to repaint, such as entire rooms or the exterior, summer is the time to do it–and a little paint could go a long way in transforming your space. The warm weather lets the paint cure properly and ensures that it will last longer. “I think painting is one of the best DIY projects because it can be easily corrected if you make any mistakes,” says Chicago-based real estate developer Bill Samuel. “It really has a huge impact on the overall space when you take your time to repair any blemishes and do a quality job.” Dulles recommends painting parts of your home (or all of it) white to make it look bigger and brighter.

Check gutters. This might not be the most fun or creative home improvement project, but it’s an important one to protect your home for the winter months ahead and against summer storms. “Winter, followed by a rainy spring, can take a toll on your gutters and downspouts,” says Bailey Carson, a home expert at Angi. “If they’re ignored, you could end up needing to replace them altogether or, worse, dealing with foundation damage, interior flooding, driveway cracks or landscape erosion.” The damage would end up costing you way more than cleaning your gutters. All you need (if you don’t have this equipment already) is a gutter-cleaning attachment for your garden hose, a ladder, a bucket, a gutter scoop and heavy-duty gloves. You could also buy a gutter guard to protect your gutters and prevent leaves from gathering in them.

Spruce up outdoor areas. Give your yard some attention too – chances are, you’re probably spending a lot more time in it to enjoy the beautiful summer weather. While the cost of renovating your outdoor space varies depending on the project, there are simple DIY improvements you can make to elevate your backyard or front yard for a lot less. Maria Vaamonde, a commercial real estate investor and founder of Property Cashin, suggests landscaping your front yard. “Gardens make homes more aesthetically pleasing, and they also can add to the property value. Summertime is the perfect time to plant perennials, a variety of beautiful-looking flowers that are low maintenance,” says Vaamonde. She also suggests lupines and hydrangeas as other beautiful (and lowmaintenance) additions to your garden. ©2022 Hiranmayi Srinivasan, BHG.com. Distributed By Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

FUN WAYS TO ENHANCE YOUR AT-HOME

Swimming Experience

Creative Living 89 Digestsize.indd 6

6/21/22 1:04 PM

here's no question that spending a hot summer day in the swimming pool with a tall glass of lemonade is one of the great joys of life. It's really fun with the variety of pool floats now available: all the oversized pastries, birds and fruits you can toss in the water. But what else can you do besides adding a giant pink flamingo to dress up your pool and enhance your swimming experience? Try these ideas.

FUN WITH FOUNTAINS The Ocean Blue Cascade Fountain (www. doheny.com) makes an arcing spray when attached to the side of your pool. Add several to create a spray tunnel that not looks elegant and is fun for kids to swim through.

SEESAW IN THE WATER With a float called the Ocean Blue Wave Rocker SeeSaw Inflatable (www. poolsupplyunlimited.com), kids can be active and teeter-totter to their heart's content.

OUTDOOR RECLINER The TRC Recreation Super Soft Adjustable Recliner (www.amazon.com) puts your favorite living room chair in the pool. Fully recline or sit upright. With wide arms that hold drinks, you'll get that full lounge chair experience.

POOLSIDE WINE After the day's fun and frolicking what could be better than a cool glass of rose? How about the Swimline Inflatable Rose Wine Pool Float? Spend your happy hour with a chilled wine glass in your hand and a whole bottle to float on (www.orientaltrading.com).

NIGHT LIGHTS There's no reason you can't have fun once the sun's gone down. Make a fun night of swimming with glow-in-the-dark pool floats (www.jet.com). These glowing floats are as fun as they look.

FLOATING SPRAY Add some flair to the pool with a Sparkling Standard 3-Tier Swimming Pool Fountain (www.intheswim.com). Think of it like running through a sprinkler, but only in the pool. The spray fountain is pretty, elegant and fun, and it sprays up to 16 feet high.

SWIM-UP MOVIE THEATER Fire up then grill, and then put up your own outdoor movie screen (Amazon.com) in the backyard. Toss in some glow-in-the-dark floats and host your own swim-up movies on a backyard movie screen.

TOWEL STORAGE Give your pool an upscale resort look with the Belton Resin Towel Valet (www.wayfair.com). It holds folded towels and has a large basket below to hold used towels oh so elegantly.

POOLSIDE CABANA Nothing says high-end pool experience like the cabanas you have to reserve at expensive resorts. Create your own resort experience, and get a little shade too, with a canopied and curtained gazebo (www.lowes.com)next to the pool. ©2022 Kathryn Weber. Distributed By Tribune Content Agency,LLC.

A COOL CONTAINER Clean up and keep the pool area from getting cluttered with a handy organizer (www.improvementscatalog.com). Corral your floats, pool noodles, goggles and swim gear in the Pool Toy Storage Bin with Noodle Organizer, where your toys and supplies fit neatly and are always at the ready.

This pond worked really well, but AskTheBuilder_Template.indd 1 it was not easy to reach down to unscrew the drain plug. There was no electricity to the pond so I didn’t have a pump or waterfall. This pond would transform to a green swamp in no time. It was a maintenance nightmare, and the fish would die from lack of oxygen. My next pond project involved a cheap plastic liner that had two

It’s been installed now for 20 years and has never leaked. Installing the rubber is simple. You just dig a hole that’s the size, depth and shape of the finished pond you desire. Be sure to incorporate different levels. You then unroll the rubber and set it in the depression with enough excess to lap up onto the ground surrounding the pond. I have about 16 inches of rubber ringing my pond. It’s covered with granite boulders, plants, moss and so forth in order to completely hide the rubber.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

LITTLE WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR KITCHEN WITHOUT RENOVATING

hile we all might have visions of our dream kitchen dancing in our head or multiple images pinned to a Pinterest board, doing a full-scale renovation might not be in the budget at the moment. But that doesn't mean that there's nothing you can do. Here are a few easy ways to update your kitchen – no remodeling necessary. 1. INTRODUCE OPEN SHELVING. If you've got a massive blank wall to fill, you might want to consider adding some shelves. They're a great way to show off your beautiful glassware, a collection of serving ware, or gorgeous cookbooks – and they'll give the room even more storage space. Add sculptural or minimal brackets for that extra touch of elegance. 2. PAINT THE CABINETS. Yes, painting your cabinets is quite a bit of work, but it's incredibly affordable! It's the cost of a can or two of paint (plus primer!) and some elbow grease if you're doing it yourself. Whether you opt for a dramatic black or a soft dove gray, a couple of coats of paint will completely transform the look of the entire space. 3. SWAP OUT THE HARDWARE. You won't believe how quick and easy it is to give your old, outdated hardware a refresh. Warm up your finishes with a brass option in a sleek, modern shape. This will instantly make your kitchen look on-trend, but it won't cost a fortune to achieve.

4. ADD UNDER-CABINET LIGHTING. Give this space some drama while showing off pretty display pieces. You can find a bunch of options, including LED battery-operated versions that just stick on. It's a softer lighting option than overhead lighting – and it creates a warm ambiance at night. 5. PAINT THE WALLS. Maybe you love your cabinet color, but the rest of the kitchen is feeling a little blah. Punch it up with a new color on the walls. Whether you opt for a bright white or a darker hue, just make sure to pick a color that complements your cabinets. 6. RETHINK YOUR CABINET SPACE. If the main reason you're wishing for a reno is to gain more storage in your current space, reconsider the cabinets you currently have. Double your cabinet space by purchasing graduated shelving inserts, dividers or a turntable. Just assess your storage needs before going nuts at The Container Store. 7. COVER YOUR COUNTERTOPS. Unfortunately, we don't all have the countertops of our dreams. A quick way to refresh is by covering a section of your counter with an oversized cutting board or a slab of marble. This idea works especially well if you'd like to camouflage a damaged spot until you're ready to redo the entire countertop.
