Whether you’re out to impress school parents coming over for dinner for the first time or have an Open Home for its impending sale, creating a pleasing sensory experience in your home plays an important role in making a lasting impression. Here’s how to tantalise your guests’ senses through a couple of easy interior tricks. Friday, June 28, 2019
YOUR GUESTS
Creating an atmosphere of calm is pivotal to making your guests feel at ease in your home. Your home may be near a busy road or have construction going on close by. You can fix this simply by blocking the noise out with the sound of a running water feature or by playing some quiet calm instrumental music in the background.
Who doesn’t love the aroma of freshly baked goodies? Kill two birds with one stone by enticing your guests’ sense of smell and taste. Put your baking skills to the test and lay a batch of freshly baked cookies or muffins on your best crockery for your guests to devour as they peruse your home. Hint: Be sure to taste test them first!
Curious guests will want to know about the way you live. They will touch and feel their way through your home to discern as much as they can. Make sure all of your surfaces, including door knobs and railings, are squeaky clean and dust free to avoid any unpleasant surprises! Hopefully this assists in improving your home!

IN THE GARDEN
Start PLANTING MIRVA CRINNION MRFOTHERGILLS.COM.AU
Whilst the temperature outside continues to fall, the good news is that we have officially passed the shortest day of the year – so from now on the days will start getting longer and lighter. The cold shouldn’t keep us from getting in the garden either, as we are actually getting into one of the most exciting planting seasons! Now is the time to start planting summer flowering bulbs such as Bearded Iris, Gladiolis and Asiatic Lilies. Our new varieties this year include Daylily, Storm Lily, Lilium Cogoleto and Lilium Apricot Fudge – as well as Gladioli Glamour Mix that has stunning bicoloured blooms and shorter stems, making them ideal for pots and containers.
Winter is also the perfect time for planting produce ‘bulbs’ such as Artichoke, Asparagus, Rhubarb, Seed Potatoes and Strawberries, as well as bare rooted berry canes like Blackberry, Boysenberry, Raspberry and many more! You can find these at your local garden retailer or our website from now until early spring.
The best thing about growing bulbs is that they truly are ‘set and forget’. As the bulb provides food for the growing plant you really don’t need to do anything but ensure you plant them in welldraining soil and just watch them grow! If you want to get some quick results whilst waiting for the bulbs to grow, sow a scattering of quick growing seeds on the surface of where you planted the bulbs. Flowers such as Alyssum and Viola combine well with Lilies and Gladiolis, are quick to grow from seed and flower within a few weeks. In the veggie patch you can sow a row of radishes or leafy greens that are ready for harvest in as little as four weeks.

SIMON’S HOUSE
Hidden DANGER SIMON STEVENSON SIMONSHOUSE.COM.AU
DIY renovations have really boomed over the past 15 years. Safety is and always should be of utmost concern. Did you know that one in three homes in Australia will have asbestos in it? Up until the mid-80’s it was widely used in the building industry. If your home was built or renovated before 1985, chances are you will have some sort of asbestos in it. Some common items containing asbestos include roof sheets, guttering, downpipes, fencing, wall sheeting flat and weatherboard style, flooring, vinyl floor tiles and many other products. You can’t tell whether it’s asbestos or not just by looking at it. The only way you can be certain is to
have a licensed asbestos contractor inspect and test it. If you think you might have asbestos, just leave it alone and get in the professionals. You’re not only putting
yourself at risk, but your family and neighbours as well. If you’d like more information, go to www.asbestosawareness. com.au.
