A MINTZ FAMILY TRADITION My father, John Francis Mintz, was a builder who prided himself on hard work and quality craftsmanship. Starting in junior high, I learned the phases of the construction industry along with his work ethic. In 1969, after graduating from East Henderson High School, I joined the Marine Corps. In 1971, I returned home and went to work with my brothers Preston and Seldon building residential and commercial properties, giving me the hands-on experience I would never have received from a text book.

My first spec house was built in 1986 and sold on the second day of construction. In 2005, my son, Sean, graduated from UNC Charlotte with a Degree in Business Management. In 2013, Sean earned is NASCLA Contractor’s license and has taken over numerous management positions. Sean’s hard work and ingrained ethics has paid off and he is now carrying on the Mintz family’s tradition of Pride and Quality Workmanship.

DESIGNER TIPS

for Making Your Summer Party Pop

By John Voket Summer is in full swing, and many of us are currently planning our summer parties. However, there is quite a distance between wanting to throw a great summer party and actually pulling it off. So we'll look at some of the big challenges summer party hosts may face.

When it comes to planning a summer party, lifestyle expert Ceci Carmichael recently told blogger Candace Rose Anderson that people avoid entertaining because they just think it’ll be so full of stress and they’re not going to have a good time anyway.

Carmichael's best advice—plan ahead. That means two weeks out get your list all set, get your menu all set and then along the way take bite size chunks out of it so that the day before you aren't walking a tightrope between vacuuming

and cooking at the same time.

Party planner to the stars Mindy Weiss (stylemepretty.com) advises aspiring party hosts to mind these tips: Freshen up with Color: Don’t be afraid to add pop to your party with bright colors. Purchase a fun, colored table runner for outdoor tables and a set of patterned napkins for a fresh look. Include a few brightly colored dinner plates alongside basic white dishes. That simple pop of color adds excitement to the table.

Plan a Picnic in Your Own Backyard: Surprise your guests by setting up an outdoor picnic area.

Spread multi-colored throws, blankets even large quilts on your grass and add bright colored pillows. The “eclectic look” is in!

Place fun trays on the blankets

filled with guacamole and chips or bottles of water and glassed bottled soda pop.

Light up the Garden: Lanterns placed throughout your outdoor area are always noticed! They can hang from gazebos or line the walkway into the party. These lanterns use battery-powered candles as an alternative to regular candles… they’re gorgeous and are safe too!

Invest in a Bar Cart: Freshen up your bar by adding a bar cart to the area where your guests are gathering. The bar cart can be filled with alcoholic drinks for the party goers, or for an outdoor family event try beautiful pitchers of lemonade or iced lavender hibiscus tea. Recently, I took my bar cart and filled it will fun desserts that the guests could try at their leisure.

Recessed lighting is visually appealing and perfect for small spaces. You can also affect a room’s lighting with low-cost or no-cost solutions that make the most of the space’s built-in features. For example, highlight windows instead of covering them, or make the fireplace a focal point. Bay windows also really help to open up a living room or kitchen dining area to make it appear larger.

Small Spaces into Charming Places In home listings across the country, the word small is often replaced with a far more marketable and appealing word: “charming.” But what makes a home charming compared to small? How does a homeowner transition a cramped room into a space with unique and appealing character?

Create special spaces & storage Carefully consider the functions of any space, such as TV viewing, reading or computer use, so that only the items needed for those specific functions are stored there. Understanding how this space is utilized will make it easier to establish dedicated zones and supplies for each activity. For example, a small living room area intended for TV should have a couch and chair, coffee table, end table, and TV stand and TV – not much more.

Be sure to also create proper storage to manage and maintain a clutter-free home. A great way to do this is add some built-in storage like bookcases and cabinets. Chests or coffee tables that can open up to store things will allow you to use the flat surface above while taking advantage of the space underneath.

Make it larger with lighting Clearing a small home of its clutter will automatically make it seem larger. However, the illusion of more space can also be enhanced with proper lighting.

The right lighting will also play a big role in helping create a more charming feel.

Woodwork is another simple embellishment that adds instant character and charm without affecting usable space. A chair rail, stair case newel post, crown molding, and even baseboards can help take a standard space and outline it with interesting architectural elements. A mirror, such as a pier mirror, can also help brighten the room and make it seem larger than it is.

By managing clutter, using lighting to create bright and airy spaces and incorporating simple architectural elements, you can easily transform a cramped area into a charming and inviting room that you – or a potential buyer – can enjoy.
