house, where we all enjoyed plenty of room and a perfect flow for my mother’s gracious (and frequent) entertaining.

The inherent style attributes of that ranch went completely underappreciated by me for most of my life. Now, I have developed a bit of a crush on the ranch redux. When I note the way a ranch layout naturally lends itself to modern open floor plans, I remember, wistfully, the convenience of living on one level. No hauling things up and down

stairs. No shaking chandeliers and thunderous noise from kids stomping overhead. No hot spots or cold zones from inconsistent heating and cooling. As our team worked on this month’s issue, I found myself continually flipping through home listings for ranch houses available on the market… maybe that will be my next project.

For now, I’m determined to spruce up my existing home, and I think I might start by classing up the closets. Maybe if I show that space some overdue attention, I’ll be more motivated to keep it organized… and maybe my clothes will suddenly appear more exciting. That could happen. Couldn’t it?

The DIY project on page 66 will definitely happen! It’s a genius solution to a problem piling up at this very moment in

and foam pool noodles, I’ll know that all our readers agree.)

Yes, that’s what I’ll do; I’ll start small, with those closets.

I’ll take a focused look at what I want to keep in my home, and then start to evaluate parts I want to change. Home improvement can begin with a simple shift in perspective and lead to a whole new outlook. It’s a new year and I’m ready for that—are you?

REAL HOMEOWNER’S STORY

A Childhood Home Grows Up hen Jon Payne’s parents passed away, he and his siblings fervently discussed selling their family home in Doraville. His parents had been the original owners, purchasing the house in 1966, and the family had lived there ever since. The Payne siblings all hoped to attract an investment buyer; none were keen to undertake the repairs and updates necessary to make the home competitive in the open marketplace. Jon’s wife, Becky, a talented interior designer, had always wanted the opportunity to do something to the house but never considered actually living in it herself. She admits, “I had redesigned the interior of the house a dozen different ways in my mind over the years.

As [the] siblings began discussions of a quick sale, Jon and I began discussing the possibility of buying it!”

1. City Chic Becky Payne thought she wanted to live in a sleek condo downtown, but instead infused contemporary style into a suburban renovation project she now adores.

For almost 20 years, Jon commuted 28 miles area, which had been a great place to raise their children, but once the kids were gone, they longed to move into Atlanta. For several years, they’d actively sought out a modern condo to fulfill a lifelong desire of Becky’s. For Jon, a condo was a place they could enjoy for weekends in the city, while Becky thought of that condo as a permanent dwelling. They had not yet decided on one, so they began to more seriously consider purchasing the Payne family ranch house as a flip and then took the leap.

“We made an offer to Jon’s siblings, and they took it without hesitation. We did hire a contractor to do work that Jon didn’t feel qualified to do and to facilitate the process, but we spent almost every single day after work and on the weekends—for a solid year—working on the house and doing the renovation ourselves,” Becky explains. Surprisingly, Becky found herself more sentimental about existing elements and features of the house than Jon, yet they didn’t truly commit to living in the house until closer to completion.

Originally, the Paynes planned to flip this house once they had completed all the work necessary to put it on the open market.

Over the course of the project, they fell in love with the house and the area. Now they are home to stay!

“Initially, I told Jon that I had no intentions of making this house our final home, as it was by no means my modern dream house,” Becky says.

Congratulations!

Design/Build Remodeling

You are holding in your hands a directory of companies owned and staffed by some of the most professional men and women in the remodeling industry.

NARI is the premier association of remodeling professionals and industry experts dedicated to advancing the professionalism of the remodeling industry and educating the public on the benefits of using a qualified professional.

Why choose a NARI contractor?

We have all heard a horror story or two about a remodeling project gone bad.

NARI screens all members prior to admission. Contractors must be licensed, insured and adhere to a strict code of ethics. NARI has an independent review board to investigate any homeowner complaints. NARI has certification programs for its contractors and associate members.

Construction Industry Initiative Our industry is currently experiencing a severe shortage of skilled workers entering the trades. NARI Atlanta is working to promote awareness of this and bringing information to young people regarding the great career opportunities in construction. Skilled construction tradespersons can earn higher starting salaries than the average college graduate. See GoBuildGeorgia.com for more information.

Be a Smart Consumer A professional will cost more, but a poorly done job may affect the value of your home negatively. Use this directory as your starting point for a successful remodeling experience.

See NARIAtlanta.org for more information about hiring a professional contractor.

t’s said that everything old is new again.

And nowhere is that more apparent than in the metro Atlanta real estate market, where ranch-style homes have enjoyed an impressive resurgence in recent years.

These long, low, one-level residences,

made popular from the 1940s to the 1970s as part of a post-war economic boom and nationwide suburban expansion, popped up everywhere for decades. However, they lost their luster in the ensuing years when two-story homes and mini-mansions took over the landscape. But they’re making a comeback now, with homeowners of all ages considering them once again. With so many attractive features, you also may want to take a second look at this uniquely American dwelling.

The Metro Area Market The ranch, which is also referred to as a “rambler” in various parts of the country, was once the epitome of modern living.

With a simple and straightforward design inspired by the working ranches of the American Southwest and the designs of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the ranch-style home is known for its distinctive—and somewhat minimalistic— characteristics: a single-story structure, a low hip roof, a sprawling footprint, a brick exterior, an attached garage and a fairly open interior floor plan, among others.

For years, entire suburban communities were filled with these rather humble

homes—many of them right here in metro Atlanta. Over time, a number of those ranch homes disappeared, having been purchased and torn down to make way for larger twoand three-story residences.

Many ranch homes include sliding doors/ french doors that open to a deck/patio— this is a great opportunity to expand your living space to the outdoors.

While ranch homes are known for being one-level, some do include basements, which add to the overall square footage available.

Webb explains that this space can be used for storage or expanded living space.

“Finding a ranch with a basement gives a buyer the ability to have extra room below and allows for a kids’ playroom, a media room or even additional bedrooms,” he says. “Finishing a basement can double your square footage and give a family more than enough room.”

Upstairs, according to Glazer, the bedrooms themselves can be quite large, although AtlantaHomeImprovement.com

bathrooms. In a world of huge, spa-like bathroom retreats, a ranch home doesn’t always measure up. “Ranch homes usually have very small bathrooms. A master bath can be as small as eight foot by eight foot,” Glazer reveals. This is also when renovating becomes a very appealing option. “We end up adding on to the backside or the side of the house, and many times we’re adding either a master suite or a new master bath,” he says.

For those who plan to renovate, it’s important to look at the home’s existing features—some of which are actually coveted today. “Older ranch homes may have added appeal due to brick exteriors, brick fireplaces, hardwood floors and even some original interior brick work,” Webb says.

Clearly, there are both pros and cons to the traditional ranch-style layout. However, there are some specific features that may just make particular homeowners lean towards this reemerging plan.

Baby Boomers “Ranches are easier [for everyday living] because they have no stairs,” notes Michelle Ballard of Solid Source Realty GA. For those who are getting older, have had surgery or have to deal with bad joints, the lack of staircases is a welcome feature.

Baby boomers and retirees in particular enjoy the prospect of one-level living.

“Having that master on the main level is a big plus for aging in place,” Bartlett observes.

What’s more, while ranch homes have a large footprint, they are generally smaller in size. “Baby boomers are at an age where they are selling their larger homes and downsizing to smaller homes,” Ballard explains. “And most want ranches because they want to be able to stay in their home forever.”

Young Families

A Universal Idea A traditional ranch-style home lends itself beautifully to the concepts associated with universal design—the processes and design principles that are used to make spaces accessible for everyone, from young people to older people and even those with disabilities.

The one-level layout of a ranch home makes it ideal for easy accessibility. No stairs mean smooth transitions from room to room, and having everything on one floor allows people to access what they need without difficulties. And since many older ranch homes are renovated to make them more modern, it’s the perfect time to add in an array of universal design elements, such as:

➊ Pull-out cabinetry and slide-out shelves ➋ A larger turning radius for easy mobility (for those in wheelchairs) ➌ ADA-compliant appliances ➍ Lowered light switches throughout the home ➎ Home automation systems with alarms and sensors ➏ Showers and bathtubs with grab bars and rails ➐ Comfort-height toilets ➑ Smooth entrances into and out of the home

Also enjoying the lack of stairs are families with young children, who don’t have to worry about their toddlers taking a scary spill down the steps. When everyone is

Lately, several television commercials have promoted steam mops that promise to clean hardwoods, laminate and tile floors. But did you know there is a great chance you could actually be doing more harm than good with a steam mop?

Before you buy, consider these tips: One of the major criticisms about steam mops is the excess water left behind.

Water that seeps into an unfinished or worn out floor can not only puff the grain but cause the finish to warp. On laminate flooring, water can easily penetrate through the unsealed plank edges into the core. The combination of heat, acid and enzyme cleaners on a tile floor can soften the grout and cause permanent damage.

Cleaning pads on some steam mops can even leave scratch marks.

So why do steam mop manufacturers recommend their use? It’s simple, these companies want to sell their product. If you are considering using a steam mop, please read the mop’s warranty—chances are it only covers defects in the mop itself and excludes damage to your flooring.

diybloggersbeat Custom Boot Shapers When boot season rolls around, it’s tough to keep them organized in the closet. Using pool noodles, a hot glue gun, a bit of fabric and ribbons, these DIY Boot Shapers add the perfect bit of structure and cheery pop of color!

6 Steps 1
