Bridgemore in the Town of Farragut
“Redefining the art of … gracious living”
Building on Success…38 New Homesites in Phase II “The Lakes” now being developed! In the beginning… The land’s three hundred and forty acres spread over terraced hills like a rumpled patchwork quilt colorfully crafted by “mother nature” from the morning dew, sequinesque ponds, hayfields and the shadows and shade of forests. The hammock-like valleys and hills randomly crossstitched by creeks and fence rows are faded and refreshed by the rain and nurtured by glorious sunrises and sunsets. Comfortable, colorful and convenient, this land has become the beautiful community of Bridgemore, and home for many area families. A sanctuary surrounded by gifts of nature … a most alluring place, that draws friends and families … an inviting place with
babbling brooks and water features, wild life and home life and an inviting relaxing place that beckons one to stay and take advantage of a casually elegant and invigorating lifestyle … and a visual awakening that can be called … “a place called home!” After you visit this year’s Parade of Homes, “The Highbridge,” look around at the activity, and the new home construction in Bridgemore, and remember all the new homes that were built last year. Take notice of what is happening this year ... there are eleven more homes currently under construction.

Homeowners whose homes have fireplaces understand that a little more maintenance goes into autumn prep work for their homes than for those homeowners without fireplaces. Readying the fireplace for another season of use requires some upkeep. A clean fireplace and chimney is the best defense against hazardous conditions that can cause a chimney or home fire. For those who did not clean their chimneys in the spring after extensive winter use, it is imperative to handle cleaning prior to lighting your first fire in the coming winter. Chimney cleaning can be a do-it-yourself job. Rods and brushes can cost as much as $150, depending on where you live. That is roughly equivalent to the cost of hiring a professional chimney sweep once. But if you have a fear of heights or prefer not to climb up on the roof to inspect the chimney, you may just want to hire a professional. When cleaning your chimney, first place plastic sheeting in the fireplace and around the opening to the fireplace inside the home. Then climb up on the roof and remove the chimney cap inspecting the chimney for soot and creosote, which tends to be thickest at the mouth of the chimney where it will cool and stick to the inside of the masonry. Use the correct size brush for your chimney to make adequate surface contact to sweep out the debris. Go inside and clean up the residual mess, then reach up into the chimney from the fireplace side and remove any other soot before moving into the basement (or wherever the chimney reaches the bottom) to remove any soot that has dropped from that area as well. Cleaning a chimney is a messy task that will take some work, but it is a task that needs to be done to safeguard a home before the arrival of winter.

How to choose a
comfortable chair Start with the Comfort test:
• Are the height and width of the chair right for you? • Is the ottoman positioned in the right place to give you maximum leg support? • Does the chair move with you as you shift positions? • Does the gliding movement smoothly adjust to your weight? • Does the chair provide good lumbar support in all positions? • Is your head supported comfortably as you lie down and read or watch TV? Can you adjust the headrest so that it lies flat when you recline? • Does the back of the chair recline sufficiently for you? • Does the chair feel stable? • Are you aware of how your whole body relaxes? Relax your body – free your mind!
Quality: Find out about the materials used to make the chair and if the chair has a warranty. Price: Consider the cost of the chair over its expected lifespan rather than the initial purchase price. Contributed by Arnwine's Home Furnishings

Budget-friendly bathroom transformation tips The allure of a spa-style bathroom is something few homeowners can resist. Such bathrooms can make for a welcome retreat after a long day at the office or an afternoon spent chasing kids around the yard. But as appealing as such a sanctuary may seem, the cost of creating a luxury washroom is more than many homeowners' budgets can withstand. Fortunately, a dream bathroom does not have to break the bank. In fact, there are several ways to make a bathroom worthy of the most comforting spa without stretching your budget. • Install a wall-hung mirror. If your idea of a luxury bathroom harkens back to a time before the advent of recessed medicine cabinets, then a wall-hung mirror can give the bathroom an entirely new feel without much of a financial commitment. Flush-mount mirrors need not require the services of a contractor, but they can provide a sense of elegance that recessed cabinets cannot. • Replace bathroom countertops. A countertop replacement job may sound expensive, but such an undertaking is not very costly in the washroom, where counter space is typically limited. Since the cost of countertop materials is by the square foot, you can replace bathroom surfaces for a relatively small amount of money. Granite countertops can be beautiful, but such surfaces do not create the warm feel that many prefer in a luxury bathroom. A material such as soapstone is warm and inexpensive and can quickly give the bathroom a new look. • Embrace calm colors. Painting the bathroom is another
28 S EPTEMBE R 2 0 1 4 A PLAC E C ALLE D HOM E | FA L L
inexpensive way to give the room an entirely new look. If the walls of your washroom are currently a vibrant color, consider a more calming tone to give the room the luxurious and relaxing feel you're aiming for. If your bathroom includes a clawfoot tub, you also can make it a two-tone tub to add a touch of relaxing elegance. Paint the tub's exterior in a calming tone such as soft gray, and you will have trans formed the washroom at little cost and even less effort. • Transform your double vanity. Many homeowners prefer a double vanity in their bathrooms, as such a setup allows both men and women the space to get ready for bed or work without getting in one another's way. But instead of a traditional vanity with a counter between the sinks, consider installing matching pedestal sinks to surround an antique washstand. This can give the washroom a feel of antique luxury, and such washstands can found for a few hundred dollars. • Replace old fixtures. Though they are often overlooked, cabinet and door fixtures as well as towel racks can greatly influence the feel of a washroom. If the cabinet and drawer handles are old or outdated, replace them with more modern options. Such a job might be even more effective if you repaint or reface existing cabinetry. Neither task is terribly expensive, but both can give the washroom a more luxurious feel. The same goes for replacing old towel racks, which can be an eyesore if they're especially dated. Transforming a bathroom may seem like a significant and costly undertaking, but savvy homeowners can give their washrooms a new and luxurious look without spending much money.

Countertop options abound Many things in a kitchen contribute to giving this popular room its personality. Appliances and choice of cabinets go a long way toward crafting that look, but perhaps nothing defines a kitchen more than a homeowner's choice of countertops. The options with regard to countertop surfaces are numerous, and the following are just a few of the more popular options homeowners might want to consider. • Laminate countertops are popular and affordable. Made of sheeting glued to plywood or particleboard substrate, laminate countertops are water-resistant but not very heat-resistant, so homeowners will want to place any hot pans, pots or baking sheets on trivets to maintain the laminate. Many homeowners prefer laminate countertops because they are available in so many colors. Cutting on laminate countertops is not recommended, but such surfaces are easy to clean and maintain. • Quartz is among the most durable countertop surfaces available, as it is resistant to bacteria, heat, stains, and water. Though quartz is not available in as many shades as laminate, it is similarly easy to clean. Also like laminate countertops, quartz surfaces
tend to have easily visible seams, which may irk homeowners who find such minor imperfections an eyesore. Quartz countertops can be expensive depending on the amount of surface area. • The natural beauty of granite is what draws many homeowners to install this popular surface material in their kitchens. Thanks to their unique shading and tone, granite countertops are never the same from one home to the next, and granite complements many different cabinet colors. Granite also is resistant to heat, scarring and, when sealed properly, stains. Granite is naturally porous, so if it is not sealed properly, it can harbor bacteria. Some granite countertops must be sealed annually, while some pretreated countertops can go as long as 15 years without a need for resealing. Unlike other countertop surface materials, granite, which is among the most expensive countertop materials, does not come in a vast array of colors, so homeowners should expect to choose from just 20 or so color options. The choice of countertop surface material can go a long way toward defining the personality of the kitchen, so homeowners should consider their options before making a final decision.
