This stunning home is located on two lots and seamlessly combines modern renovations with the original, historic features. From the preserved pine floors and original window panes to the wraparound porch and level yard, comfort and charm surround you from the inside out.

WALLPAPER

T

he wall covering you choose can make a room appear bigger, warmer and brighter (or vice versa) and even hide imperfect elements. So it makes sense to spend a little time consider the best option for your walls and for your house.

Take a cue from color.

Color can set the mood in a room. To make a space appear larger and the ceiling higher, pick patterns with cool-color backgrounds, such as green, blue or violet. Soft cool colors suggest tranquility, while intense cool colors are fresh and dramatic. Warm colors – reds, yellows and oranges – live up to their name and make people feel warmer. These are a popular choice in colder climates and work well in north-facing rooms. The more intense the color, the more excitement it will give to a room.

Play with light.

In a north-facing room, dark hallway or windowless space, look for wall coverings that will reflect light around the room, such as patterns with light colors and those with metallic or iridescent inks. Also consider patterns with smooth surfaces, which reflect maximum light. Dark colors absorb light, making walls appear closer and the room smaller. Textured surfaces also tend to make a wall look darker.

Hide flaws with texture.

Patterns with real or perceived texture can hide or camouflage wall imperfections or architectural eyesores. Patterns with actual tactile surfaces include grass and string cloth, burlap, foil, expanded vinyl and even fabric. Other papers simulate the look of marble, wood, leather, fabric or even animal skins. A pattern with a layered design also creates a perception of texture (such as a

monochromatic damask design behind a floral pattern).

Choose a suitable style.

For a formal look, choose large-scale patterns with dramatic colors. For a fun, bright style, pick small motifs that are open and regularly spaced, such as polka dots. Don’t forget the decorative impact of borders. Available in all sorts of motifs and styles – from sports scenes to pastoral views to wildlife images – borders quickly establish the theme of a room.

Accent the positive.

Stripes and other vertical patterns, which emphasize height, suggest dignity, vitality and formality. Vertical patterns, including florals where the motif ’s shape suggests a V or a U, will make a ceiling appear higher. Horizontal patterns accent width, suggest quietness and repose, and make narrow rooms appear wider.

Scale for success.

Small-scale patterns create a feel of spaciousness, while large-scale designs make rooms more intimate. To make an empty room look more furnished, pick largescale patterns with bright colors and dark backgrounds. To give flat walls the look of depth, try a large, open dimensional pattern, such as a trellis design.

Mix and match wisely.

A room without pattern can bore, while a room with too many patterns can cause restlessness. When mixing stripes, florals or plaids in a room or between adjacent areas, pick patterns that repeat the same color or values of that color. Wall-covering books usually group designs by color to make coordinating easy.

MUST-HAVE TIPS FOR REMODELING

YOUR KITCHEN

R

emodeling a kitchen requires a lot of effort (and cash). Avoid making costly mistakes with these expert tips for every aspect of your design – from islands to floor plans and everything in between.

1. PLAN THE SPACE. Even in big kitchens, you’ll want to create a compact step-saving work core. You don’t want to walk a mile to make a meal, or even worse, generate dead space within the room.

Pick areas that will work hard during meal prep, dining and family time. A breakfast nook, for example, is the perfect way to add style without sacrificing too many steps.

2. MEASURE!

5. PUT IN A PENINSULA. In a small kitchen, a small peninsula often works better than an island. Keep your space in mind every step of the way to ensure the best remodel possible. Don’t overwhelm a small space; there are options available for a variety of sizes and layouts.

6. PLAN AHEAD. Get all your ducks in a row before you begin your kitchen remodel. Delays and changes midstream can send costs soaring.

Do your homework and consider each choice ahead of time. Be sure to check that everything has arrived before the contractor is ready to install.

7. CHOOSE STORAGE WISELY.

Kitchen aisles need to be wide enough to accommodate all that goes on in a kitchen. Clearance helps multiple cooks navigate the space and maneuver around each other. When designing your new kitchen, make sure all aisles – such as those between islands, walls and appliances – are between 42 and 48 inches wide. Also consider offsetting the placement of key features, such as sinks and the range, so two cooks don’t bump into one another.

3. ENSURE IT’S FUNCTIONAL. When planning the space, consider the size and direction of doors, appliances and cabinets. Fridges often need wide clearance, as do ovens. Take a walk through the space and plan door openings to ensure that you don’t create a cramped kitchen.

4. BUY AN ISLAND (OR TWO).

In a big room, two islands are often better than one. It’s a mistake to supersize an island, because anything longer than 10 feet is hard to walk around. Also, if an island is more than 4 feet deep, it’s hard to reach the middle. Overstuffing an island with dinnerware, baskets and other items creates a similar problem. Make sure no island storage extends beyond the rim of the countertop.

A good design includes storage solutions that match items used in specific areas. Between open storage, cabinets, shelves and more, there are hundreds of options available.

Consider the goal of the remodel: If you are going for a sleek look and choose glass cabinet doors, keep the cabinet contents streamlined and unfussy, as well.

8. INCLUDE SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING. Whatever a kitchen’s size, expect friends and family to congregate there. People are drawn to other people, and your guests don’t want to be hanging out in the living room while you’re preparing dinner. Plan for interactive space in your new kitchen – whether that’s a corner nook, island with seating or a banquette.

9. BRING HOME SAMPLES. Materials can look a lot different in a showroom than they do in your actual space.

Don’t commit to any major design element – such as flooring or countertops – until you’ve brought the samples home to look at in the space you’re remodeling. You may also want to look at samples under lighting similar to what will be used in the new space.
