Make tidying your house even easier NAPS — “Today is the day I will clean all the things!” We’ve all been there. We wake up with boundless energy and enthusiasm, ready to tackle the never-ending cleaning and organizing to-do list. But let’s face it, this motivation dwindles quickly because the list is daunting. Keep your home in order with these easy tasks. Bedrooms • Make the beds every morning to brighten up a room and make it look pulled together. • Put away clean clothes in closets and drawers right after washing. • Pick up the miscellaneous items left on nightstands every day. Living Room • When the central room of your home is organized, it does wonders for the rest of the house. Fold blankets, fluff pillows and stack magazines. Hide the remaining clutter in baskets—they look decorative but hide clutter. • Dust furniture every week to add a shine to the room. Floors • Vacuum hard floors and carpets weekly. • Eliminate stains from rugs and carpets. • Remove scuff marks from hardwood floors by rubbing the mark with a clean tennis ball until it disappears. Kitchen • Put dirty dishes into the dishwasher immediately after a meal. • Clean countertops with a mix of equal parts water and apple cider vinegar every evening. • Place a lemon peel in your garbage disposal and run it for a fresh scent. Bathrooms • Wipe down sinks, mirrors, shower doors and counters for an instant upgrade every week. • Cover the showerhead and faucets with a plastic bag filled with vinegar to remove mineral deposits as needed.

7 timeless kitchen trends that will never look outdated Between expensive appliances, custom cabinets, and costly countertops, we spend a lot of money on our kitchens. In fact, according to John Hogan, Owner of Remodeling Expo Center in Roswell GA, the median spend on a kitchen remodel was $32,000. To make sure that all of this money isn’t creating a kitchen we’ll want to update again in five years, 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. So what are the kitchen trends that won’t make you cringe a few years from now? Skip the trendy color of the year, and follow these timeless kitchen ideas that have been loved for decades. 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 Center, a whopping 43 percent of renovating homeowners opted for white cabinets. Not sure which shade of white to go for? Don’t worry, soft grey’s are also just as popular and combining the two work well also. 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, transitional kitchens and are the perfect element to update an otherwise traditional house. Drawer and Cabinet Organizers I’m calling it: Organization will never go out of style. And while 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 Nothing finishes off the look of a kitchen like the smooth finished look of a built-in appliance. Especially the refrigerator and the microwave. And conversely, nothing looks more outdated than a refrigerator or microwave sticking out or on the countertop. A thoughtful

kitchen design should include clever and seamless appliance installation. 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. Resist the feeling that “natural” equals “old” White Marble “Look” or Butcher Block Countertops The white marble look will always be an elegant choice for kitchen countertops, but if the maintenance and potential for staining has you worrying about its longevity, consider using quartz. For a more classic look 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 little simpler if you want a backsplash with staying power. To learn more, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. www.RemodelingExpo.com

If the trust owns it, Fastest way the trust repairs it to shop for a By Michelle Wilson Eldercare Attorney, Wilson Legal, PC

home? Snap it!

One thing that a lot of folks with trusts don’t think about is how their successor trustee (the trustee who comes after you) will repair real estate owned by the trust. the problem is that sometimes the trustee has to pay out Wilson of pocket to repair real estate inside a trust because the trust doesn’t have any liquid cash to pay for those repairs. A great solution for this potential problem is making sure that you have a checking account in the name of the trust that has money in the account for these repairs. If you’re thinking about how much then we suggest thinking about the cost of replacing the air conditioner units or the roof on the house and making sure that this account has enough money to pay for at least one of those major repairs. If you’re not sure you have or want to designate that much money in that account at first you can always start with something smaller and then gradually save a little bit every month so that that reserve account grows over time. This is your pro tip from Michelle Wilson your local estate planning attorney. If you have questions about how to protect your real estate please call us at 770205-7861.

(NAPS) — House-hunting can be a lot less stressful and complicated than many people realize. That’s because a powerful, free phone app, Homesnap, makes researching and discovering your dream home a “snap.” No more grabbing flyers or scrambling to write down an address to share with your agent. Forget about struggling to figure out school districts and property boundaries, too. Here’s how it works: When you see a house for sale, snap its photo. Details such as real estate taxes, sales price, interior photos, how long it’s been on the market, any price changes—even school district ratings instantly appear on your phone. Even if a home is off the market, you can use Homesnap to see what any home is worth! Want to share the picture with someone? Just tap a link within the app. Homesnap has been named HGTV’s “most addictive real estate app” and REALTOR® Magazine’s “best mobile tool.” Real estate agents recommend it because their buyers love it. Across more than 600 cities in Illinois, nearly 70 percent of agents have Homesnap, according to Midwest Real Estate Data (MRED).
