to inspire Your Space by Sumita Dalmia
Is your family hankering for more space? If you love your home too much to move, then ask a loft specialist to measure up your home’s attic space, or think about converting that empty nook into a private escape in your own home. Whether you have the room to create extra bedrooms, a library, or simply a cool playroom for the kids, converting the loft can add a definite wow factor to your home. Split Level Living Space If you are lucky enough to have plenty of height to play with in your loft, then consider using two levels to define areas with different uses. Create a warm and cozy living room feel with a bedroom combo raised on top for dual practicality. Raising the bed with bookshelves also allows you to use the space as a study.
Home Office It’s easy to free up space in the corner of the kitchen or the living room by your moving desk and office space to the loft. It will be a quieter and calmer environment, and you can benefit from the loads of sunlight pouring through a skylight above your work station.
Guest Bedroom If you have family or friends that visit often, it would make sense to create a bedroom for them. Position the single beds under the eaves so that they have enough height to stand up in the center of the room. This way, you can throw out those air mattresses and sleeping bags and allow them to feel well rested and comfortable when they come over.
Kids Playroom Using bright and uplifting colors in addition to a large skylight to let sun in, this space can be transformed into a child’s bedroom, especially since the little ones are less likely to hit their head on the ceiling! Place down a colorful rug, a chalkboard wall for kids to draw on, and splash some paint on a feature wall to make the space inviting for kids! Consider using a cheap vinyl tile flooring so that the kids can also use their as their arts and crafts area and you don’t have to worry about the carpet.
Cozy Den If you have a grumpy teenager who usually doesn’t want your company when they have friends over, give them the gift of a den. This space can be ideal for gaming, gossiping, and dancing to their favorite songs, without you having to sacrifice your primary family room area.
Extra Storage Is there anyone that doesn’t need additional storage in their house? How about a place for all of those shoes? Or those photo albums and keepsakes? Your coin collection? Try installing shelves, drawers, and sliding closet doors to create a space where you can hide off-season coats, shoes, old books, and those knick knacks that you just aren’t ready to throw out yet!

Do You Have the
lushest lawn on the Block?
by Jacklyn Renz
It has been speculated by psychologists that a first impression only takes 15 seconds to happen, meaning a person has made up their mind about a new acquaintance in that short time frame. If we apply that same concept to home buying, then curb appeal has jumped to the top of the list in priority. As a matter of fact, the National Association of Realtors tells us that 63 percent of home buyers will drive by a property after viewing it online. Often, the curb appeal and landscaping of the home isn’t the most fun to do, but it is certainly one of the more important pieces of marketing preparation. A key factor to the curb appeal of your home is your lawn and its health. Here are some things to factor in when setting your lawn up to stay lush and beam above all others on the block. Your Location Matters We all know the old adage “location, location, location”, but this time we mean a little something different. Consider the climate of your home’s location. Is it a dry climate? Is it prone to heavy rainfall? What about pests of the territory? Anything that flourishes naturally in your environment will be easier to maintain. Also, check into your local laws on watering, just in case there are restrictions on sprinkler systems due to drought in the area. Consider picking flowers that naturally resist local pest populations.
Plan Ahead Timing of lawn maintenance and planting is absolutely crucial. Different plants flourish in different seasons and take time to dig in. If you are planning on planting grass seed, it takes weeks for a seed to germinate and, even then, the climate conditions must prove stable for continued growth or the sprout will die. Take the time to plan out what improvements you may want to make, get the advice of experts whom you may hire to help, and save up the money you’ll need to make any changes.
Embrace the Investment If you have your financial ducks in a row, then don’t be afraid to invest some cash into your lawn to make it last and stay beautiful. Most of us will at least consider putting our home up for sale at one time or another, and the landscaping investment will make a difference in our home’s sale. If you don’t have tons of money to invest in elaborate landscaping, you should at the very least consider planting some colorful annuals and keeping the islands fresh.
Types of Grass The main spread of any lawn is its grass. Like the above section notes, climate is key when considering which type of grass your lawn has. If you are starting fresh, then your options are plentiful. For example, the ever-popular Bermuda grass grows well in tropical, hot, or dry climates. It also responds well to drought periods, or can be irrigated with the rest of the lawn. Another popular choice is Centipede grass due to its reputation for being low maintenance. The less to maintain with a home, the
87731.24.9.024.025.qxp_Layout 1 8/3/16 2:56 PM Page 2 Text the code to 85377 for more photos & information
better! For cooler regions, Ryegrass or Kentucky Bluegrass may be good options due to their cool or cold winter resistances.
The Islands As we cover the ground work of curb appeal, we next move to any islands on the lawn. An island is more than just a beauty mark on the grass, it can be essential to the health of the lawn. Why? Many islands surround large trees within the yard. This is because, chances are, that tree has a rather thirsty root system that will quickly drain a struggling grass population of much needed water. A larger tree will shield the sun. If you have several large trees and dying grass, consider making islands around those trees to not only have less bald or browned patches in the yard, but to also add an element of depth and a focal point to the lawn.
Keep an Eye Out for Overcrowding As a long-term homeowner, it may be difficult to see certain overgrown aspects of the lawn that you have grown accustomed to seeing. With a lawn, at times less is more. Dig up any shrubs that have encroached on sidewalks, walkways, driveways, or porches. If a plant is out of style, then lose it. Consider getting rid of higher maintenance shrubbery or flowers that quickly die out and brown after only a few weeks of budding. If you focus your attention on just a few simple eye-catching pieces, then those pieces will reap the benefits of the lawn’s simplicity and a concentrated hand.
Keeping It Cut The maintenance of your lawn is more than just mowing here and there. Different grass types thrive with different mowing schedules. For instance, it is recommended that Bermuda grass be mowed when it has reached around 1 to 2 inches in height. Another key to healthy grass is through dethatching. Thatch is composed tiny pieces of dead grass and clippings that have gathered on the top of the soil. A little is okay, but if the thatch is allowed to build up too much before nature breaks it down, then your grass could suffer from insufficient water supply. Dethatch your lawn with a dethatching tool,
which looks like a rake with blades on it. This will help keep your lawn well watered and will remain that luscious green we all love. However, it’s important to note not to dethatch during periods of lawn stress, such as summer time or drought.
Feeding with Fertilizer For some of us, fertilizer may be one of those complicated compounds that we purposefully avoid. Why use fertilizer on the lawn at all? Grass needs the high nitrogen content of certain fertilizers to have a healthy root system, which means greener, more lush grass. Depending on the needs of the species of grass on your lawn, the climate you live in, and the amount of rainfall you get, your feeding schedule will vary. Spring-time is the most important time to feed because the grass is coming out of a long winter. Shoot for fertilizing around the first mow. Add a lunchtime feed in late spring, a summer feeding, and once more in the fall. At the very least, once a year will help keep your grass green.
Maintaining Everything Else Once the grass has been taken care of, look to all the other plants too. Pruning is important for plants, but needs to be done properly. Websites, such as HGTV.com, provide pruning guides to help you along as you figure out when and what to cut. Hopefully, with the preplanning as discussed in the previous section, you have picked out low maintenance flowers and shrubs that don’t require much upkeep for your location. Of course, weed your flower beds and islands regularly before the appealing plants be-come overrun. In the fall, keep leaves raked regularly to avoid killing the grass.
Remember, when it comes to maintaining lawn lusciousness, simple is better. Plan ahead of time for what works for your location, your availability, and your pocketbook. Sources: movoto.com, turfgrasssod.org, HGTV.com, lesslawn.com, scotts.com, bank-rate.com, garden-counselor-lawn-care.com
