Timeless kitchen trends for North Atlanta Between expensive appliances, beautiful cabinets, and costly countertops, we spend a lot of money on our kitchens. In fact, according to John Hogan of Remodeling Expo Center, the median spend on a kitchen remodel in North Atlanta was $43,000. To protect against falling into the “trend trap”, the trick is to incorporate timeless design elements that won’t soon go out of style. By choosing kitchen features that can stand the test of time, you’ll save yourself money (and the work of remodeling) down the line. Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell is the largest remodeler in North Atlanta and Mr. Hogan spends many hours offering clients advice on “timeless vs. trendy” design. Here are some important elements to consider. Neutral Paint Colors The classic white kitchen is sometimes critiqued for being a little boring—but there’s one solid reason to opt for this color in the kitchen: It will never go out of style. According to Remodeling Expo’s Kitchen Trend Report, a whopping 43 percent of renovating homeowners opted for white cabinets. Not sure which shade of white to go for? The designers at Remodeling Expo have their favorite warm variants to the classic white that everyone has in mind. Shaker-Style Cabinets Known for their simple design and recessed-panel doors, Shaker cabinets have been in-style for more than 100 years. Shaker cabinets are popular in farmhouse kitchens, but they will also work with a variety of home decor styles. If you haven’t shopped for cabinets lately, you’ll find over 20 different variations of the traditional Shaker Cabinet door style. Drawer and Cabinet Organizers Organization will never go out of style. What’s hot now is creatively hiding small appliances like toasters, coffee makers and blenders, in updated cabinets that rest upon the countertop. Features like built-in baking sheet dividers and pull-out cabinet drawers haven’t been around for that long, when hidden

behind unfussy, timeless cabinet fronts, these functional features will never be outdated. Built-in Appliances A skilled cabinet maker can make most appliances appear to be built-in , when they’re actually standard counter depth models. The built-in look will always be high-end and timeless. Will the stainless steel appliances ever go out of style? The designers at Remodeling Expo Center all agree, “Don’t hold your breath waiting for this to happen!” Choose Natural Materials Adding in natural materials like wood and stone will ground the space and keep it classic. If you want a timeless look, resist the urge to create an ultramodern kitchen full of shiny stainless steel and engineered materials. Instead, incorporate some natural surfaces like distressed wood on the side of the island, floating shelves or an accent wall with some wood grain and earth tones. White Marble or Butcher Block Countertops White marble will always be an elegant choice for kitchen countertops, but if the maintenance and potential for staining has you worrying about its longevity, consider butcher block. The go-to choice for farmhouse kitchens, butcher block will wear beautifully over the years and you can prepare food directly on it. Subway Tile Subway tile is not only versatile enough to work with many different decor styles, but you probably won’t get sick of it in five years (after all, the look’s been around for over 100 years). While it may be tempting to go with a trendy backsplash, like metallic tiles, sea glass, or bright geometric tiles, opt for something a more simple, if you want a backsplash with staying power. A homeowner doesn’t need to do all these things but working in a few of them usually suffices. To learn more about timeless kitchen design, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in the Design Center at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. RemodelingExpo.com

Real estate agents always say, “kitchen and baths” sell homes, hence the minor bath and kitchen remodels topping out this list. For a minor bath remodel, we’re talking about maybe a $8K-$10K investment which would include new quartz or granite counters, freshly painted cabinets and walls, tiled shower and tiled floors. Also, a new seamless glass shower surround adds the illusion of more space. In terms of a minor kitchen remodel, you could spend $15K upgrading the counters to granite or quartz (honed and leathered texture for the granite is a current favorite), plus new midgrade stainless appliances, freshly painted or resurfaced cabinets, subway back splash and lighting. All of those upgrades would make buyers very, very happy. The landscaping is kind of a nobrainer. It is your investment in the buyers’ first impression of your home. Spend $2-4K updating old foundation plants (and overgrown shrubbery) or fill in missing/died sod. Adding some seasonal color and fresh mulch is critical to boost the all-important curb appeal. Exterior improvements are the obvious fresh paint but repairing any wood rot and using a more current tone on tone color palate is highly recommended, as the stark 1990s white trim dates a home. If you have defective LP siding, replacing it will help ease buyers worries about that looming expense. Adding

square footage, especially a bedroom, is always a good investment and is appreciated by buyers and appraisers. Major kitchen and bathroom remodels are good investments, but more so for a longerterm investment. If you Jones are going to spend $5060K on a kitchen or $25K+ on a bathroom update, you may want to take time to enjoy your new space and give the market time to appreciate. That strategy could earn you a 100% return! Coming in a #8 is a deck/porch/patio addition at 83%. I suspect it could be higher down here in the south given our moderate weather. The costs can range greatly from $12K for a new medium sized deck to $100K for a covered porch with built-in fireplace. Using high-end materials like Ipe wood/Tigerwood decking or the latest durable composite materials seems to pay off as well. The #10 spot, according to HGTV, goes to window replacement offering an 89% return. My experience would estimate that number to be a little lower. I have never seen buyers jump up and down about new windows, but they do have a strong aversion to old single paned windows. So, it’s debatable. One thing I do know, consulting with an experienced real estate agent well ahead of starting home renovation projects is a good idea and it’s true what they say, “you have to spend money to make money.”

Why 2019 is a great time to sell your Atlanta home Brought to you by –BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty The Atlanta real estate market has been hot over the past several years, so if you’ve been considering whether to list your home for sale this year, there may be no better time to do so than right now. Here are several Rawlings reasons why 2019 is an excellent year to sell your Atlanta home. It’s a Seller’s Market Increasing demand paired with lower inventories has made the Metro Atlanta market a seller’s in the last months. This means that if you, as a seller, price your home competitively with fair market values, you’re more likely to sell quickly with your asking price. In some cases, if more than one buyer wants your property and they begin a bidding war, you may actually get more than your asking price. Sellers definitely have the advantage in current market conditions. More Home Buyers are Flooding the Market Last year, Atlanta became the third fastest-growing metropolitan area in the nation, growing by nearly 100,000 people between 2016 and 2017. As this trend continues, a fair number of incoming buyers will be looking to purchase their first Atlanta home, adding to a large number of prospective homebuyers already on the hunt. Listing your home this year could put you in front of hundreds or thousands of prospective buyers. Interest Rates are Starting to Climb We have enjoyed historically low mortgage interest rates for several years, but as the economy grows, those rates are now starting to climb. This can reduce the number of people eligible to buy homes in your price range. As of early 2019, the rates are still low and favorable to home buyers, but as they climb, 2020 may tell a different story. If you have been sitting on your home while your equity builds, now may be a good time to cash in on that equity before interest rates start reducing your pool of buyers. The experts at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty can work with you to price your Atlanta home competitively and market it effectively to an eager market.

The ‘Round TUIT’ By Michelle Wilson Wilson Legal, PC When I was growing up, my mom had a round white magnet on the fridge with the letters T-U-I-T on it. When she’d ask us if we had done a chore Wilson and we responded that we’d get it done when we got around to it, she’d take that magnet, slap it on the table in front of us and say “here’s your round TUIT now get up and do it” in her best first grade teacher sing-song voice. Her words would get stuck in your head and we began forcing ourselves to avoid the phrase “when we get around to it” so that we wouldn’t give her a chance to use the magnet on us. We knew the chore needed to get done and Mom wanted it done sooner rather than later. It is really easy to put off chores – especially ones without reminders. Updating your will, your power of attorney, your healthcare directive are chores that slip your mind. The reminders come when you or someone you know has a bad life event.

Often it’s more expensive or too late to help after something bad happens. Don’t wait for a crisis. Find some help to review your documents today. Wilson Legal, PC 407 East Maple St., #105 Cumming, GA 30040 (770) 205-7861

Choosing a shutter style Exterior Shutters can really make or break the exterior of your home and plays a vital role in the overall curb appeal. One of the items to consider is the STYLE of shutter that will look good on your home and give that final touch to complete the picture. Dupbel Millworks Inc. is set up to create unique custom styles while offering a variety of standard styles to choose from. Let’s discuss some of the standard styles most commonly used. Board and Batten Shutters A shutter typically composed of three to five vertical boards that are connected using two or three horizontal battens. These shutters inspire a country or cottage look and have grown in popularity in the last few years. The latest trend is to have multiple narrow boards to create a cleaner, more sophisticated look. This style lends itself to adding additional interest by adding diagonal pieces or even strap hinges. Paneled Shutters This traditional style consists of panels within a frame. This shutter style’s popularity during the last number of decades has firmly entrenched it as the “traditional look.” Especially with the panels you can select a number of styles based on your preference. We can start off with a Flat panel, giving a very smooth and minimalistic look. Or you can do the very traditional Raised panel, providing a more three-dimensional appearance. Our Shaker Raised panels gives you even more depth while keeping it very classic and stylish. The Mission style panel is another option, where it is incorporating design elements from the Board and Batten style, but with a much

more sophisticated look. The size and placement of the panels will typically follow the window design, but lately we’ve seen a lot of deviation from the traditional to jazz it up a little bit. We can incorporate a small panel in the center, make them single panels, or even 3 equal panels, all depending on the look the home owner wants to create. Louvered Shutters. Louvered styled shutters are the original “classic standard,” found on period buildings such as Antebellum, Colonial, Williamsburg, Georgian and Federal styled houses. Louvered shutters create an additional architectural element to enhance the house’s façade. Louvered shutters can also be the right choice for Contemporary styled buildings wishing to create a more traditional appearance. For a slightly more modern look you can make the slats wider to give a cleaner, less busy appearance. Dupbel Millworks Inc. manufactures exteriors shutters using only weather resistant materials. This is especially important in Georgia’s hot, humid conditions. We have a series of standard shutters styles, while fully equipped to help you design a custom style specifically for your house. We are a full service company, and can help you from the design phase to installation. Our business is located in Alpharetta, GA and we are proud to serve the residential and commercial market of North Georgia. We are small enough to provide you with personal attention, yet strong enough to handle complex designs.

Six smart moves when hiring movers (NAPSI)—The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that over 17 million Americans move to a new home every year. If you’re ever among them, knowing a few facts and figures can help you have a smoother move. To help, the experts at the American Moving and Storage Association, the national trade association for professional movers, created a checklist. 1. Do comparison shopping. Even if you’re considering doing the move yourself, you should get at least three written, in-home estimates so you can make an informed choice. The estimates should be free, so you have nothing to lose by trying to find out whether a professional move is best for you. Some movers even offer estimates based on videos and photos you submit online. Make sure you show the mover everything that needs to be moved, from the attic to the basement, and any sheds, garages or storage areas. The mover needs a complete picture of everything to be moved to give you the most accurate estimate. Reputable interstate movers will always give you estimates in writing and they must—by law—provide you with federal publications that explain the moving process and your rights and responsibilities. Be careful of any esti-

mates offered over the phone or online, and if the mover asks for a large down payment or full payment in advance. 2. Read your paperwork carefully. Remember, once you’ve signed a contract, you’ve agreed to what it says about your move. 3. Understand what the mover’s level of liability is, in case of loss or damage. 4. Bear in mind that communication is key. Make sure the mover has your cell phone number or other way to reach you during the move and that you have the driver’s full name and the truck number. 5. If you don’t understand something, ask questions. Reputable movers will be happy to answer them. If the moving company can’t or won’t answer your questions, you might want to look for another mover. 6. You can find nearly 2,800 certified ProMovers, who meet high standards of safety and professionalism, at www.Moving.org. A ProMover certification takes the worry and hassle out of your move and helps you locate reputable, qualified movers—from small, family-run businesses to national van lines—who have been trained and tested. For further facts and tips and to find nearby certified movers, go to www.Moving.org.
