ASK A DESIGNER

How to design and decorate poolside

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ask Elizabeth Stuart Design founder Muffie Faith about how to decorate around a backyard pool and she’ll answer you with a question of her own: How are you going to use it?

“I know the obvious answer is ‘swim and enjoy the cool water,’” says the South Carolina-based interior designer. But it’s worth diving deeper (yes, she says, pun intended) into that question to ensure you’ll create a backyard that really makes you happy.

Who will be spending time around this pool and what will they be doing?

Is dining poolside a priority? Then you’ll want to take time choosing a large enough table for guests and family, and you’ll need comfortable chairs that can get damp with pool water.

Do you wish to face the pool or be tucked in a side garden where you’ll glance over at your pool but not focus on it?

And do you love to garden and want the pool in a lush setting or do you hate to garden and prefer hardscape and beautiful pots with less maintenance?

Taking your time with questions like these, Faith says, “will help you to design your area around the pool, which I would say is almost as critical as the pool design itself.”

Designers Jade Joyner, co-founder of Metal+Petal design in Athens, Georgia, and Abbe Fenimore, founder of Studio Ten 25 in Dallas, agree.

Fenimore has several clients who don’t have children or whose kids are out of the house, so the pool area is mainly used by adults coming over for cocktail parties or quiet afternoons. In those cases, sleek furnishings and an open fire pit are perfectly appropriate.

But Fenimore and Joyner point out that homeowners with small kids have different needs. They might have lots of young houseguests using their pool, so they need plenty of comfortable seating. And avoiding sharp corners is important if little kids may be running around with wet feet.

More advice for creating an appealing and safe backyard pool area:

for at least a month or a month and a half,” Fenimore says. “The sun is aggressive and damaging.”

Metals, especially in direct sunlight, “are very unforgiving here,” she says. “They will scald you.”

So she suggests wood furniture and resin-based material that resembles wood.

Joyner recommends outdoor pieces that are fully upholstered — no hot metal chair arms — and tough enough to be left outside or splashed with pool water.

Also, when you choose furniture and pillow fabrics, Fenimore says, keep animals in mind. Squirrels and birds might try to pull out loose threads from nubby fabrics to make nests, so opt for durable and smooth upholstery.

And Fenimore recommends adding one or more large umbrellas that can be repositioned as the day wears on and the direct sunlight moves across the pool area.

BUILDING FROM SCRATCH

If you’re adding a pool to a yard that didn’t have one, take into account the locaHANDLING SUN AND HEAT tion and root systems of nearby trees, Faith The furniture around your pool will like- says. ly be in direct sunlight and will interact with “Some trees have invasive root systems plenty of water.

Another consideration: What kind of require fencing around a yard with a pool. equipment will the pool have?

Pergolas: Ancient garden structures are getting updated

BY DEAN FOSDICK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pergolas have been part of home gardens for a long time, but they’re getting some moder n upgrades because of trends toward backyard sanctuaries and entertaining.

Historically, pergolas were simple, overhead str uctures used to protect garden walkways. They were characterized by long linear shapes, said Gail Hansen, an associate professor and Extension specialist in landscape design with the University of Florida.

Today, pergolas are customized for use covering outdoor patios and elaborate entertainment areas.

“Many homeowners like to spend more time outdoors, and the relaxed ease of outdoor entertaining is more suited to our lifestyle and less formal entertainment activities,” Hansen said.

Backyard pergolas are usually attached to houses or, if they’re freestanding, are near indoor kitchens for easy access, she said.

“Homeowners are updating their outdoor entertainment areas with fully appointed kitchens and luxurious patio furniture,” Hansen said.

“In addition to the traditional gas grill, nearly ever y kitchen appliance has been modified for outdoor use,” including sinks, refrigerators, wine coolers, griddles, ice makers, pizza ovens and warming drawers, she said.

“Stainless steel is the preferred material.”

Pergolas sometimes are confused with arbors, which often are archshaped, with a continuous run of latticework from side to side, said Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the National Association of Landscape Professionals.

“Traditionally, arbors shade gates, walkways or a bench, are only a few feet wide and provide the perfect support for climbing plants,” she said.

Both landscape-design structures support climbing plants, she said, but pergolas are more elaborate and help shade entire outdoor spaces.

When designed and oriented correctly, a pergola can cast enough shade to make even a hot afternoon enjoyable, or if homeowners need additional protection from the elements, they can install a retractable shade, Henriksen said.

“The increase we are seeing in

Associated Press | By Dean Fosdick

This photo shows a pergola used to enhance a front entry at a home near Langley, Wash. Many of these structures are being upgraded with lighting and retractable shades to cover outdoor entertainment areas. homeowners’ requests for pergolas is another example of how people are investing in their outdoor living spaces to create ‘staycation sanctuaries,’ add

sizzle to outdoor entertaining and personalize their individual home environments,” she said.

You can tailor your pergola with

everything from chandeliers and ceiling fans to strings of lights, fabric, space heaters and sound systems.

“Add color and excitement to an outdoor space with thriller, filler and spiller container gardens,” Henriksen said. “With the perfect planting combination and unique container, homeowners can add rich color and texture to a stunning pergola.”

Landscape professionals can help you understand the pros and cons of dif ferent materials used for pergolas. Options include pressure-treated woods, cedar wood, vinyl and fiberglass, Henriksen said.

Pressure-treated wood generally looks best if it’s painted or stained, she said. Cedar is insect-resistant and looks great right from the sawmill.

“You can leave it untreated to turn a soft silver gray, or stain and seal it to hold its color,” she said.

Vinyl requires little maintenance while fiberglass can be painted, spans longer distances without posts and, due to its light weight, doesn’t require the same deep footers that other materials dictate, Henriksen said.

MILLENNIAL MONEY

3 things that change when you own a home

BY COURTNEY JESPERSEN NERDWALLET

You signed the papers, got the keys and opened the front door. Now, that quaint little place is all yours.

But more freedom comes with more responsibility. A lot changes once you’re a homeowner. Here’s how to prepare for a few of the adjustments — emotionally and financially.

YOU THINK ABOUT MONEY MORE OFTEN Ideally, you star t thinking about money long before you sign the papers for your home.

Say a mor tgage on your dream house would be $2,000 a month, but your current rent is $1,500. You should live at the new expense level to test it out before you buy, says Marianela Collado, CEO and senior financial advisor at Tobias Financial Advisors in Florida.

For example, you could try putting the $500 difference into savings for several months to see if you can manage.

“You give yourself time to adjust to living within the new cost of housing,” Collado says. “This way you start getting a feel for what the new budget is going to look like.”

For an even more complete picture of your new budget, go a step further.

Collado recommends calling local companies before buying a house so you can gauge how much you should expect to pay for monthly bills like water and electricity.

Your money mindfulness will need to continue after you’ve settled into your house and placed a welcome mat on the porch.

A budget needs to be revisited regularly, especially since you can expect home-related expenses to go up over time. It’s crucial to have flexibility in your budget to cover an increase in utility expenses or a financial emergency.

“Financial planning is never a set it and forget it,” Collado says. “It’s so fluid. Life changes.”

YOU NEED THINGS YOU DIDN’T BEFORE New homeowners will buy things

This photo shows a “Sold” sign displayed in front of a house in Sacramento, Calif. A home of your own comes with new freedom and more responsibility. they never needed before. That may include items such as a screwdriver set, claw hammer, pliers, smart thermostat and smart lighting, according to Jordan Ribelin, a Lowe’s spokesperson.

You’ll probably need a basic toolkit, water shut-of f tool and plunger, too, says Danny Lipford, a national home improvement expert and host of “Today’s Homeowner” on television and radio.

These are relatively minor, but there are big expenses, too. In an apartment, you may not have needed to purchase a washer, dryer or refrigerator because they were supplied for you. And you probably didn’t need a lawn mower.

Depending on what you already own, expect to buy appliances for your new place. Star t setting aside money for these items while you’re saving for a down payment and closing costs. And keep an eye out for

sales and deals.

But don’t make major purchases until you move in, advises Rianka R. Dorsainvil , CFP, founder of Your Greatest Contribution , a feeonly financial planning firm. That’s because you want your debt-toincome ratio to be as low as possible at closing.

“After you purchase the home and you’ve slept in it one night, do what you want,” Dorsainvil says. “Buy the furniture. Finance it if you need to and (if) you can afford it.”

YOU MANAGE TIME DIFFERENTLY Once you’ve officially moved and sent out your change of address announcements, you’ll quickly realize you’re responsible for upkeep. That means you’re on the hook when the water heater breaks or the air conditioner goes out.

It’s not just repairs, either. Lipford points out other expenses like yard

work and pest control. And for maintenance, you have two options: handle things yourself or hire someone to do it.

“You really have less free time if you’re going to do items yourself,” Lipford says. “Or if you’re going to hire it done, then you have less available income.”

Managing a home is a financial balancing act, but you can view this added responsibility as a source of pride.

Homeownership isn’t right for everyone, but for those who choose it, the experience is unparalleled.

“For most people, it’s just a gratifying experience when you go, ‘This is my house. This is one environment that I can truly control. I can make it bright. I can make it dark. I can make it cold. I can make it hot.’ You can’t do that ever ywhere you go in ever y aspect of your life. So from that standpoint, there’s nothing like it,” Lipford says.

Say farewell to winter with a new spring wreath

BY KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Christmas wreaths on the front door are a tradition, but there are also wr eaths that celebrate the arrival of warmer weather.

You can put up spring wreaths with an assor tment of faux flowers and greener y even when chilly winds are still blowing. They stay looking great well into the hear t of the season, more realistic than the stif f, plastic versions of decades past. Or you can find or make wreaths using real flowers, dried or foraged.

Potter y Barn has a spring wreath with faux white dogwood blossoms — one of the first trees to bloom in spring — nestled among wispy fer ns. Another wreath features a soft, gray-green palette with faux silver sage and eucalyptus leaves.

Grandin Road’ s Haley wreath is a spirited mix of fluf fy, white, fauxhydrangea puf fballs, accented with lifelike greener y and vines. Here too, a striking 28-inch-wide wreath chock-full of pink or yellow faux tulips.

For a floral alter native, consider Birch Lane ‘s wreath festooned with puf fy white cotton balls. Or the ar tichoke wreath, with a mix of textural greens on a woven vine base. Realistic lemons add freshness, color and contrast to a leafy wreath at Lowes .

Wreaths are easy and fun to put together yourself if you’re feeling crafty.

Grapevine or faux-moss-covered Styrofoam wreath frames can be found at most craft stores and many garden centers. If you’ve got an old picture frame or embroider y hoop lying around, you can repurpose it.

Then just weave your array of polyester blooms and greener y through the vines, or attach with hot glue.

Load up the backdrop with lots of flowers, or create a minimalist vignette with just a few ar tfully placed ones. The unador ned section can be left as is, or dressed with a covering of ribbon, burlap or other fabric to match your door.

Or wrap the wreath frame in an old knit sweater or scar f in pastel hues, add some oversize buttons, jeweled pins, shells or faux flowers; just make sure your hanging location is weatherproof.

Jen Hadfield of the crafting site Tater Tots and Jello has instr uctions for a simple, moss-covered wreath dressed with a handful of white fabric butter flies; the ef fect is elegant and charming.

You’ll also find lots of clever wreath-craft ideas at Countr y Living .

Beyond the usual circle frame, you might consider a giant Styrofoam initial. Or make an initial or word out of chicken wire stuf fed with floral foam and moss that can be embellished with blossoms, fruit or greens.

Watering cans and baskets can be repositories for both faux and real flowers; if you’re using real plants, line the vessel with a sturdy zipper-top plastic bag and inser t wet floral foam.

ProFlowers of fers wreaths with a mix of preser ved and dried flowers that can be kept for years: myr tle, larkspur, dried lemon leaves and hydrangea come together harmoniously to create a vintage vibe, while clusters of larkspur, fern, roses and other florals evoke a sunny countr y garden.

They’ve also got a living wreath for med of moss and uber-trendy succulent varietals; place it in a warm sunny location and it will be welcoming your front-door visitors right through summer.

This photo shows soothing hues of grey and green, with several varieties of faux greenery which make for this subtle yet impactful Silver Sage wreath at Pottery Barn.

This photo shows a lefty wreath with realistic-looking lemons that add a pop of fresh color and contrast.

Fruits, vegetables and greenery are an alternative to floral wreaths, yet still suggest the advent of warmer weather and the changing of the season.

Is your garbage disposal environmentally friendly?

BY KATHERINE ROTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

If you’re trying to be more eco-friendly at home, should you use your kitchen garbage disposal?

It depends.

“Keep in mind that when food is added to the wastewater system, it must be further treated,” says Maggie Sauerhage, a spokeswoman for the U.S Environmental Protection Agency.

She suggests learning about your local water infrastructure first.

For starters, the most eco-friendly option for food waste is to create less of it. For unavoidable food waste, consider donating it or composting.

Beyond that, wastewater and environment experts agree that the environmental value of kitchen disposal systems depends on the wastewater system of a given locality. Disposals make sense if your wastewater system is set up to convert food waste into energy, as is the case in a growing number of big cities.

“Any food that is sent down the disposal will be filtered and captured at a wastewater treatment facility. The debris

captured are typically sent off to a landfill, incinerator or to an anaerobic digestion facility (for conversion into energy) if one is close by,” says Steve Dege, director of material supply chain and solutions at the recycling company TerraCycle.

Joe Dillon, president of Racine, Wisconsin-based InSinkErator, which invented the garbage disposal more than 80 years ago, says disposals are used in more than 50 percent of U.S. homes and in countless food-service operations. He argues that in addition to convenience, disposals are ecologically beneficial because they divert food waste from landfills.

But critics say disposals can be problematic near large bodies of water.

“There’s a lot of nitrogen in food waste, and nitrogen can be very harmful to marine and plant life,” says Nancy Seligson, supervisor of the Town of Mamaroneck, New York, and a past president of the nonprofit organization Save the Sound.

“If you’re in an area like ours, on the Long Island Sound, which has been trying to reduce nitrogen in the water for 25 years, using a kitchen disposal system and

adding unnecessary nitrogen to the water waste system might not be a good idea.”

Disposals also might not be the best option in areas with water shortages: Conveying food waste through pipes and treating it at a plant can be energy- and waterintensive.

“Another consideration that should be given is whether there is methane capture at their municipality’s water treatment plant. Sending food scraps into wastewater streams will change their chemical composition, and whether a municipality would be able to handle this or not is a very specific question,” says Birnur Aral, a director at the Good Housekeeping Institute focusing on environmental issues.

Sauerhage, of the EPA, says that in determining how to dispose of food waste responsibly, consider these questions: Where is the effluent going? Does it go to a wastewater treatment plant or wastewater recovery facility? Has the treatment plant said it wants organic waste? Does it operate an anaerobic digestion facility?

What does it do with solids? Is there concern over damaging your household or local piping systems?

Don’t transfer invasive hungry pests when moving

WASHINGTON — Spring is a popular time to move, but unfortunately, people aren’t the only ones on the move. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue signed a national proclamation to declare April “Invasive Plant Pest and Disease Awareness Month,” during a critical time when damaging invasive species known as hungry pests emerge and can be easily spread in the things people pack and move, such as outdoor items like grills, gardening equipment, wading pools and bicycles or patio furniture.

Hungry pests are a real problem. They attack trees, plants and agriculture, costing the United States about $40 billion each year in damages and expensive eradication and control efforts. Household moves increase the risk for the spread of these invasive species, since people can potentially transport them to new areas.

About 35 million Americans move every year, making the possibility of transporting invasive pests high. For instance, federal and state inspectors often find gypsy moth egg masses on outdoor household items and recreational vehicles in non-infested areas. The United States Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health

Inspection Service is offering a free checklist for household moves that includes suggestions and tips for reducing this risk.

The agency is also working with the United States Postal Service’s My Move program to help educate the moving public about the things they can do to help prevent the spread of hungry pests.

“Hungry Pests can hide inside plants, fruits, vegetables and firewood, and spread in a number of ways, like on outdoor items you move to a new home or on an RV that has been parked outside and driven crosscountry,” said Kevin Shea, APHIS Administrator. “It only takes one person to start a new infestation, which is why we all need to be careful and understand how to stop invasive pests.”

Here are key ways the public can help: Moving to a new home. Help protect your new city and neighborhood from invasive pests by removing eggs masses and insects from your patio furniture, grills, bikes and other outdoor items – before they are loaded onto the moving van or storage pod. Traveling within the United States.

Before doing an out-of-state trip, make sure your car, RV or other outdoor vehicle is

cleaned first. Check the wheel wells, bumpers and other hard-to-see areas to make sure they are free of soil, egg masses, and insects. In addition to moves, pests can also be spread by: Mailing homegrown plants, fruits and vegetables. Commercially bought goods are regulated to meet government standards, including those for invasive pests, but items grown in a home garden are not. If you live in an area quarantined for a specific pest, don’t mail produce or plants from your garden to others. Contact your local APHIS office for more information.

Moving untreated firewood. Invasive pests like the emerald ash borer and Asian longhorned beetle burrow inside wood to lay their eggs. Don’t take untreated firewood with you, for example, on camping trips. Instead, buy certified, heat-treated firewood or responsibly gather wood at your destination. Traveling internationally. It’s tempting to want to return with an unusual plant, a souvenir made from plants or wood, or even a piece of fruit as a snack for the plane trip home. However, U.S. laws prohibit many of these items from entering the country because they could harbor

an invasive pest. Contact your local APHIS office to find out what’s allowed. And always declare these items to U.S. Customs and Border officials when you land. Failure to do so could result in unexpected delays and fines. Buying plants for your garden. When buying garden items in person, be sure to ask the retailer if they comply with federal and state quarantine restrictions to ensure their plants are free of invasive pests.

Before you buy plants online, check if the seller is in the United States. If they are in another country, you might need an import permit or other documents to legally bring the items into the United States. Contact your local APHIS office for more information.

Finally, learn more by going to www.

HungryPests.com or join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter. The website includes photos and descriptions of each Hungry Pest, and a Pest Tracker to find those in your state. To report a pest or contact your local APHIS office, visit www. aphis.usda.gov/planthealth/sphd or call USDA Customer Service toll free at 1-844820-2234 (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern).
