Coronavirus and mortgage rates…

To lock or not? That is the question!

The odds that mortgage interest rates might go down because of the coronavirus crisis are pretty high. Yet rates are already at an historic low,

BY DUANE so how low can DUGGAN they go? Over Realtor and Author the last several RE/MAX of Boulder years we have enjoyed record-low mortgage rates that have been predominantly stable. During stable periods, the question as to whether to lock the interest rate while under contract on a home is not as critical as when there are times of rising or falling interest rates. In recent months, there has been downward pressure on rates, making the question of locking the interest rate a more relevant conversation.

To lock or not to lock, that is the buyer’s choice. However, buyers need to understand that this requires a commitment from both themselves and the mortgage lender to close at the agreed upon interest rate.

The scenario goes like this.

One day you write a contract on a home knowing you can afford it at a certain interest rate. Then while you are waiting to close, the interest rate increases, and you can no longer afford the monthly payment. Locking the interest rate with the lender would have prevented this unfortunate circumstance.

First of all, what is a “lock”? A rate lock is a commitment from a lender to fix your interest rate between time of contract and closing, even if rates go up. It is important to remember that a “lock is a lock.” It is also a commitment from the buyer to close on the terms of the lock.

Even if interest rates go down, you are locked in and committed to close as agreed upon.

The mortgage lender might suggest that the buyer should “float” rather than lock. This means that in the lender’s opinion, there could be an event in the next few days or weeks that may cause rates to go lower. Then you could make a decision to lock at a later time instead.

The odds that mortgage interest rates might go down because of the coronavirus crisis are pretty high.

Over my 40-year career, I have found that in general, interest rates tend to go down slowly, but rise quickly. I can remember in the 1980s, almost every day I went into work, the interest rate pushed higher, soaring to 16% for mortgages. With that experience in mind, it is usually best to lock in a rate if the general trend is upwards. There is a greater chance of rates going up 1% in a day than going down 1% in a day. If you’re happy with the interest rate the day you write a contract on a home, lock it in so you and all the others involved in the transaction can sleep at night.

Market conditions dictate the type and pricing of rate locks that lenders may offer. Sometimes a 30-day or even a 60-day rate lock might be “free.” Extended locks usually come with a price tag. Make sure you communicate with your lender to make sure you have a full understanding of how it works. It would also be good to ask the lender what happens if there is a delay in closing. There might be a possibility to extend the lock, but lock extensions usually involve a fee.

All interest rate locks have a

deadline. Knowing the deadline helps structure a contract with dates for conditions and final closing to happen before the lock expires with a closing date that falls within the deadline. In some market conditions, lenders have even been known to offer “lock and shop.” This is a situation where the lender will lock in your loan rate even before writing a contract.

Locks can also be a major consideration in new construction.

If you have a dirt start on a home, that could mean you may not be closing for six to eight months. It is hard to say what could happen to interest rates in that timeframe.

Most builder contracts say that you will close on the home at whatever the market rate of interest is. In order to protect yourself, it would be a good idea to check with the lender to see what the expense of a long-term lock would be. Market conditions will dictate pricing for long-term locks. An alternative could be to “float” with the interest rate market. Instead of paying the lock fee in advance, you could save that money to buy the rate down at time of closing. Of course, market conditions will dictate whether or not this turns out to be a good idea.

To lock or not? Hopefully, this information will help you make that decision. Be sure to consult your mortgage lender and any other advisors in order to make an informed decision based on current market conditions.

She’s not alone in her countdown to spring; many gardeners are pouncing on the slightest signs of green.

We haven’t broken out pompoms and megaphones to strut and cheer on the flowers we see quite yet – that would just rile up the neighborhood dogs and cause our community to contemplate tranquilizer darts. But the temptation to encourage our gardens to awaken is like an itch under the skin.

Spring is nearing, and gardeners are getting ready. Our community

has many approaches to growing and caring for the land, with no two gardens looking alike.

Some are tiny, pocket-sized oases of green while others are large enough to be farms.

To meet the needs of as many growing systems as possible, we’re bringing changes to this column space by expanding the voices contributing their knowledge and wisdom to our community.

Our Colorado State University office is staffed by incredibly talented people who, together, have a lot of knowledge we can

share. I’ll be sharing it with three colleagues who look at using and conserving our land from different perspectives.

Sharon Bokan, our Small Acreage Coordinator, is a wealth of information on bigger areas, homesteading topics, small livestock and wildlife. Deryn Davidson is our Horticulture Agent with a talent for Landscape Architecture, pollinator issues, and native plants. Adrian Card, our Agriculture Agent, brings expertise in farm issues and growing crops for market in Boulder County.

Together, we’ll mix up many topics around growing locally and wise use of your land.

Take advantage of Davidson’s landscape design savvy by signing up for her Pet Friendly Landscapes class, offered Saturday, April 4, 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Boulder County Parks and Open Space headquarters building, 5201 St. Vrain Road in Longmont. Design, plant choices, and discussion of mulches will round out this class on making a space for both you and your furry friend. Cost for

the class is $25; register online at csuextension-gardening-series. eventbrite.com.

For more information on Small Acreage, wildlife or pasture management, visit Bokan’s page at boulder.extension.colostate. edu/natural-resources-wildliferural-properties-pasture. You’ll find a wealth of information on issues related to managing small acreage, plus preparing for or recovering from natural disasters.

And if you’re running a farm, Card’s website can help you find links to resources and information on business management, water issues or managing weeds (boulder.extension.colostate.edu/ agriculture).

Carol A. O’Meara is an Extension Agent – Horticulture Entomology at Colorado State University Extension Boulder County.

It’s best to purchase a premixed ration that is formulated for your bird’s age. Initially, you’ll want a chick starter formulation that has higher protein and the correct calcium amount to get your birds off to a good start. As your chicks get older, you’ll want to change to a layer mix and provide them with a free choice calcium and grit supplement. You can give your hens some scratch feed and vegetable scraps, but you will want to limit the amount so that they will get a balanced diet. They also need a good supply of clean water.

Keeping both the feeder and the waterer clean and sanitized will keep your birds healthy.

Hens produce an egg approximately every 26 hours starting at the age of four to six months. It’s best to collect eggs at least twice a day. Egg production is affected by daylight so in the winter, egg production decreases.

Hens will be at their maximum egg production for about three years, after that their production will slowly decrease. They can live for an average of six years so you will need to decide whether you

want to keep birds that are not producing.

To keep your family safe and the hens healthy, you must wash your hands before and after collecting eggs and handling birds. It is also a good idea to have a separate set of at least shoes that you wear only when you are dealing with your birds. Separate pants and shirt are even better. Keep the coop and run clean. You’ll also want to identify a veterinarian that is willing to treat your birds should they become ill.

Allowing your birds to leave the run and free range can help with yard and garden insect management. However, allowing your birds to free range when you are not home can encourage predators. Remember to not just protect your birds from the land roaming predators such as foxes and coyotes but also hawks.

For more in depth information on keeping chickens, please visit the CSU Extension Boulder County website at boulder.extension. colostate.edu/natural-resourceswildlife-rural-properties-pasture/ livestock.

Baby chicks arrive at area stores

By Sharon Bokan Colorado State University Extension – Boulder County You heard the cheeping when you walked into Murdoch’s, Jax or Tractor Supply and you made the side visit to see the chicks. Now you are thinking about keeping a few chickens so you can have fresh eggs. Unless you have raised chickens before, you need to know what you are getting yourself into before you purchase any chicks. If you live in town, check with your municipality to see if you need a permit or license, how many birds you can have and set-backs for the coop and run.

Raising chickens is a full-time commitment. If your family likes to travel or be gone a lot, keeping chickens is probably not for you.

While they don’t need to be walked like a dog, they still need daily attention and care. Before you bring them home, you need to have a brooder and a coop set-up. The brooder is where you’ll keep the chicks until they are old enough to be in the coop. The brooder can 4

be as simple as a cardboard box or a large storage bin with 18” tall sides and 1/2 square feet per chick.

You’ll need bedding, food and water dispensers and a heat lamp.

Initially, chicks need to be kept warmer than room temperature (90 to 95 degrees). Be careful how the brooder is set-up so that the heat lamp doesn’t cause a fire. If you decide you want to skip this step and get birds that are already laying, 4-H and Future Farmers of America (FFA) members sell some of their birds at the local county fairs.

How to buy a house despite student debt

Many young would-be homebuyers are strapped with student loan debt that makes buying a house even harder.

But changes made by federal

BY TOM mortgage lender KALINSKI Fannie Mae RE/MAX of Boulder make it easier for student loan borrowers to get a mortgage. And mortgage experts say if you are consistent with

making your loan payments and the amount of your payment is a good fit with your income, student loan debt doesn’t have to be a barrier to buying a home.

Stark statistics confirm these changes are needed.

Nationwide homeownership for ages 24 to 32 fell from 45 to 36 percent between 2005 and 2014, reports the Federal Reserve. Increased student loan debt is linked to this age group’s homeownership rate dropping by two percentage points – resulting in over 400,000 young adults in

the U.S. who didn’t own a home in 2014 because of the rise in debt.

To help student loan borrowers, in 2017 Fannie Mae added three flexible payment solutions for future and current homeowners.

With these changes, lenders can consider lower, flexible payments; homeowners can pay down student debt with a mortgage refinance; and borrowers can exclude non-mortgage debt paid by others.

“We understand the significant role that a monthly student loan payment plays in a potential home buyer’s consideration to take on a mortgage, and we want to be a part of the solution,” said Jonathan Lawless, vice president of customer solutions, Fannie Mae. More help comes from mortgage experts who have strategies for student loan holders to get into a better position to buy a home.

Experts say student loan debt holders should pay attention to two key metrics to increase their likelihood of mortgage qualification.

One, borrowers need to consistently make debt payments on time – whether student loan, credit card, or other types of debt payments. A good payment history can help your credit score, while getting behind on your monthly bills will cause your credit score to drop.

Even though student loan plans offer the option to defer payments, experts say it’s better to steer clear of this path if you are working toward buying a home. Deferring payments can make it difficult to get loan approval. And if you are approved for a home loan, the interest rate may be higher.

And two, manage the amount of your monthly student loan payment compared to income.

This is factored into debt-toincome ratio, which is used to determine your ability to keep up with mortgage payments.

One tactic some would-be homebuyers use is to lower their monthly student loan payment by extending their repayment plan over a longer period time, or choosing a plan based on a percentage of income. If you choose to make these changes to your student loan payment, do it at least a year before applying for a mortgage.

Another option for managing debt-to-income ratio is to boost your income with a promotion or second job.

Even with these challenges, millennials are making progress.

In September 2019, millennials accounted for 46 percent of all mortgage originations – a 43 percent increase from a year ago. This group is expected to dominate the market again next year. Millennials are expected to make more than 50 percent of all home purchases in 2020, according to Realtor.com.

purchase price and fixing it yourself. When we bought our home, our seller insisted on fixing the few problems that we identified, and they did a great job – real pride of ownership – but people like that are rare in my experience.

Typically, they will fix the issues for as little cost as possible. If the seller does insist on fixing the problem, as might be their right, you should have the repairs thoroughly inspected before the closing and make sure that any warranty will transfer to you.

Unless you can show that your seller hid something from you, such as a leaking floor that was not disclosed, you will have a hard time holding them responsible.

You should check to see if the repairs had a warranty and if it is transferrable to you. If you cannot find it, reach out to the seller and contractor for information.

If none of this works, and there

were no hidden defects, you may need to make the repairs yourself.

I have also found that when things like this start to happen, it is better to get your home back in good shape sooner than later.

Waiting often causes a domino effect making the eventual repair even more expensive.

ASK THE EXPERT

Questions for your home inspector When you are purchasing a home the final inspection before the sale closes is one of the most important steps in the process.

BY RICK You will have JACQUEMARD the opportunity Flatirons Home to review Inspections any issues with the property and negotiate a resolution with the seller. It is important to learn as much as you can about the home’s condition and what problems, if any, may arise in the future.

Doing this means knowing the right questions to ask the inspector.

How bad is it - really? Most home inspectors are even keeled, emotionally speaking. They’re not alarmists that blow little things up into big ones, nor do they try to play down the importance of things. They’re all about the facts. However, at times, that directness makes it hard for you, the home’s buyer, to understand what’s a big deal and what isn’t, March 6-7, 2020

whether to move forward with the deal, whether to renegotiate and what to plan ahead for.

Can you recommend someone to investigate these issues further? Many homeowners only go by what the inspector says and do not look into possible problems more thoroughly. Inspectors are knowledgeable in many subjects but are often not experts. For example, if there is a problem with the heating, electrical or another major system, an expert in that field should be brought in to evaluate things further.

What should be addressed first? Buyers need to know that no home is without some issues, even new homes. Ask your inspector to prioritize any repairs or concerns.

For example: What needs to be fixed now and what can be fixed later? This way, the results of the home inspection are in perspective.

Focus on the big-ticket items in the request for repairs and ask your agent for affordable contractor referrals to do the rest.

What would you do if you were buying this house? Ask your

inspector what they would fix first if they were buying the home.

Typically, there’s a punch list of minor repair items that come up in an inspection, especially in older homes. This way, you can prioritize the list of repairs and have a better idea of what is a serious issue that should be addressed now versus something that can be taken care of down the road.

What else might go wrong?

During the inspection, issues will be identified, and repairs suggested. Prior to deciding when something should be repaired and who should repair it, it is important to consider a few things: How serious is the issue, is there a potential of finding more during the repair and is this something I would want the seller repairing from a quality of work perspective? Inspectors can provide some insight and then you may want to consult other trade professionals.

Are any of these issues normal wear and tear? Inexperienced or first-time homebuyers may panic when they see a long home inspection list of issues.

An inspection report can be intimidating. Ask what items really need to be addressed right away. Find out which problems are typical or normal wear and tear, and which ones are problematic.

What warranties will be transferred? Be sure to ask about the costliest repairs and prioritize what needs to be repaired by the seller and a timeframe to complete. Request warranties for any roof repairs/replacement and/ or any new appliances including HVAC and water heaters. Most importantly, get everything in writing.

You may have other questions of your own for an inspector, but these are a good place to start.

Most of these questions should apply to any property. However, your realtor should also be able to suggest some property specific questions for your inspector.

New Boulder Creek Neighborhoods’ model grand opening is this weekend at Rogers Farm in Superior Low-maintenance living thrills all ages

By Sarah Huber for At Home Colorado

W

ith a grand opening this Sunday, March 8, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., Boulder Creek Neighborhood’s innovative enclave at Rogers Farm in Superior is proclaiming loud and clear: Low-maintenance, energy-efficient homes are for all ages – millennials, retirees and families with children.

“We’re selling at a brisk pace, with only a limited number of home sites remaining,” said Community Sales Manager Rebecca Lucero. “We’re excited about the opportunity to show off our new model home, finished by our professional design team. The homes offer their own unique styles while still making plenty of room for your lifestyle.”

Low-maintenance convenience for every age and stage Lindsay and David Kerr, millennials with a baby on the way, are moving to Rogers Farm not only because they love the location, but most significantly, because they want to spend their evenings and weekends soaking up family time, hiking, and running nearby trails.

AT HOME COLORADO

“We’ve rented since we’ve moved from D.C., and quite frankly, as millennials, we don’t want to buy a snow blower or yank out the lawn mower every week. We have too much life to live, and we’re excited to jump into it with our new baby,” Lindsay said.

The Kerrs were among the first to sign onto Boulder Creek’s new neighborhood in Rogers Farm and hope to relocate in late May. “We weren’t expecting our baby then,” Lindsay said, “but we did know we wanted a place we could grow a family. We wanted a yard for our dog. We wanted a home we could be proud to eventually bring a new baby home to.”

Lindsay got what she wanted and more. “I can hardly believe we own such a gorgeous home in such a beautiful neighborhood,” she said. When the Kerrs started looking for a home several months ago, after renting for a couple of years, they were disappointed to find few new builds around Superior. “That’s when we learned about Rogers Farm and decided to drive by,” Lindsay recalled. While the model home wasn’t yet open, David easily visualized his family thriving in the intuitive floor plans,

and Lindsay loved the site, from the easy access to Denver and Boulder to the family-friendly vibe of Superior. “It gives us everything we want without having to live on Pearl Street,” she said with a laugh.

“We’re used to public transit, having lived in D.C., so I like that we can take the bus to the airport or downtown Denver, but when we come home, we’re tucked away.”

Lucero explained, “Rogers Farm is an enclave of high-performance,

two-story homes tucked in the wonderful location of Original Town Superior. It’s just minutes to Boulder and a stone’s throw to Coal Creek trail. This development is conveniently located across from Superior Town Center with walkability to everyday amenities.”

Rogers Farm’s tranquil setting is rare, even in Superior. The trail system alongside the western side of the community is extensive, giving you access to over 27 miles of trails and access to the Hwy. 36 paved bike bath that leads right into Boulder. Of course, Superior itself also boasts a revitalized downtown, great shopping and restaurants and a plethora of fitness and cultural outlets. Additionally, it was named among “the best suburbs in the America” by Niche magazine.

These are the paths that Lindsay, a passionate runner, is itching to try out, perhaps with a stroller in tow. She said, “I was training for a marathon before I became pregnant, so I am excited about the running trails!”

Thoughtful design Showcasing both main-floor master and two-story layouts, the three floor plans at Rogers Farm include generously-sized kitchens and pantries. One feature that especially stands out is the optional entertainer’s kitchen upgrade that incorporates Thermador or Viking appliances, a built-in refrigerator and dual dishwashers. “Buyers are excited to have plans for family and friend activities around the huge island and the open living area,” Lucero noted. “We love the open concept of the floor plan,” Lindsay said, “and were thrilled to be able to move here without settling for a townhome.”

Planning ahead, Lindsay said she

appreciates the “owner’s walkin,” or mudroom, which features copious storage. “This time of year, my boots are always on standby,” she said. She also likes the thoughtful floor plan, high ceilings and the abundant windows in their House One floor plan. As the double french doors from the dining area frame the patio, “I like that we can eat inside but feel like we’re outside,” she said.

The single family home designs at Rogers Farm offer both two story and main floor master layouts. “It’s really hard to choose a favorite,” Lucero says. The House Three floor plan offers a main floor master suite, with a loft and two bedroom suites upstairs – perfect for children or guests.

The two-story plans (House One and House Two) offer spacious master suites and flexible layouts that accommodate a loft space, additional bedrooms, and even a formal dining space.

From the beginning, Lindsay and David have been impressed by the high-quality craftsmanship of their Boulder Creek home and the ease of the building process. “We hear from Boulder Creek at least one a week,” Lindsay said. “They call to check in, and we’ve met the builder many times. Rebecca

Just the right amount of outdoor living Aside from the 500+ acres of open space available from their back door, Rogers Farm homes

by Boulder Creek feature “the best of both worlds,” Lucero said, including the low-maintenance front lawn the Kerrs craved and a homeowner -maintained backyard

encircled by a six-foot fence. “I’m looking forward to a backyard that is reasonable to manage and landscape,” Lindsay said. “My husband has a grand vision for the space, starting with raised garden beds.”

For car enthusiasts and garage hobbyists, Lucero said, “the buyer will have an option to choose up to a four-car garage with an optional frosted glass garage door opening to the backyard.” For more room, buyers may opt for a garage topped with a finished or unfinished bonus space.

“I love the idea of the neighborhood being two streets

and being in a small community – not a sea of houses,” Lindsay said.

“It’s a beautiful home without being McMansion-feeling.”

ASK ANGIE’S LIST

How can I clean the air in my home?

By Diana Crandall Angie’s List Whether you live in an expansive estate or a cozy cottage, there are proactive ways to ensure the air in your home stays healthy year-round. Here’s a look at how to recognize and address common indoor air pollutants.

Tackle mold head-on A leaky window, a drip beneath the sink or a humid climate can all trigger a mold problem in your house, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It’s common for people to have an allergic reaction to mold, and it can also harm your pets. If you want clean air, you’ll need a pro’s help to clear out the mold – and fix the water problems – so the harmful fungus can’t come back.

Install a carbon monoxide detector Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can poison the air in your home. Because it’s deadly in high concentrations, it’s important to install a carbon

monoxide detector _ particularly if you have gas-powered appliances.

If you already have one, test it regularly to make sure it’s in good working order. If the alarm sounds, it means improper ventilation or a leak has created a build-up of carbon monoxide in your house.

Remove people and pets from your property immediately, then call local authorities for next steps.

Test for radon gas Radon gas is another toxic gas commonly found in the home.

Radon is part of the Earth’s crust, and it leaks into our homes from soil, rocks and water. One in 15 homes has detectable levels of radon in it, according to the American Lung Association, and radon is a leading cause of lung cancer. If you aren’t sure about the levels in your house, you can buy a testing kit or detection system. If you find radon in the air, the EPA recommends calling a radon mitigation pro to solve the problem.

smoke from inside your house.

For fresh air inside, keep tobacco products outside.

Avoid smoking inside When someone smokes a tobacco product inside your house, they release thousands of cancer-causing chemicals into the air, according to the EPA. Secondhand smoke is able to move between rooms and floors, and it makes the air unsafe to breathe for everyone in your home – not just the smoker. The EPA notes that ventilation can help a little with clearing things out, but turning on a fan or opening a door doesn’t eliminate secondhand

Open doors and windows It’s important to let fresh air into your house on a regular basis to keep the air quality up, according to the EPA. Stop pollutant buildups before they start by cranking open a window or propping the door open for a few minutes a day. This can help lower levels of moisture, gas, dust and foul odors in your house. If you live in an area with climate-related air issues, like smog or smoke from wildfires, talk to your local health department about how to make sure the air in your home is clean. If you’re concerned and need a hand with cleaning the air in your home, a local air quality tester can help.

work in both warm and cool color palettes. Where beige tends to have yellow undertones, and taupe has red or green depending on the warmth, griege has blue undertones that pair perfectly with a variety of hues. Paired up with lovely shades of green (and perhaps some yellow for an extra pop), the combination sings springtime.

Another popular fabric trend this season is the return of blush and pink hues, this time mixed with light and airy seafoam blues.

This combination plays with Pantone's current color of the year, Classic Blue, and gives a nod to the coral-inspired color palettes of 2019. They are transformed into something as fresh and airy as the season itself. I love introducing these brighter and bolder colors to my home in places like trim for my pillows. Trim can be overlooked when creating custom pillows, but as the perfect place for a pop of accent color, it

shouldn't be. Introducing a festive trim to your designs can create a full and luxurious product that pops on any surface.

The true excitement in a room comes from mixing and matching your favorite prints. These spring trends are available in so many fun and interesting patterns that overlapping them is not only gorgeous, but easy. It might be my love of maximalism, but why choose just one fabric when you can blend your favorites to create a custom look full of depth and texture? I love the freedom of mixing together everything from florals with plaids to stripes with animal print. A room without texture is like prosecco without the bubbles _ flat and a bit humdrum.

Fabric favorites for spring

By Katie Laughridge Tribune News Service I am a self-professed fabricfanatic. I love discovering fresh styles at market and the anticipation that comes with waiting (im)patiently to have the new textiles arrive each season.

Seeing the patterns and colors gets my mind racing with the thought of the beautiful creations soon to be designed.

Just when I thought nothing would ever top the rich winter plaids I spent the last few months dreaming about, spring styles came and took my breath away.

Now that the air has returned to my lungs, I have to share a sneak peek of this season's new fabrics and some of our favorites that are perfect for everything from throw pillows and duvets to upholstery pieces, window treatments and table toppers.

Junk drawers charging into the future

By Lori Borgman Tribune News Service Competition for space in kitchen drawers is fierce these days. That beloved staple, the junk drawer, may soon be crowded out by something called a charging drawer, an empty drawer wired with ports at the back to charge cell phones, iPads, ear buds and assorted electronics.

You can charge a phone in any room in the house, but the only place you can find a 6-year-old lemon-flavored throat lozenge so old it is stuck to the wrapper is in the catchall drawer.

Ditto for hair ties. Sure, you might find some in a bathroom drawer, but the ones with hair still knotted in them will be in the junk drawer. That's also where you'll find felt tip markers without lids, ballpoint pens out of ink, dull scissors and pencils with broken leads.

Junk drawers are not just depositories for random things you throw in on the fly, they are family history. Journalists without scruples have sometimes rifled through trash to find out details about people. If you really want to

know someone, go through their junk drawer.

The first thing you notice in our drawer is birthday candles. Some are still in the box, others are mixed with pens and paper clips.

There are all colors and sizes, in all stages of deterioration. Some are melted to nubs because they've been used before. Now you know: We like to party and are so cheap we recycle birthday candles.

We also like to eat, which is why you'll find chopsticks, a fossilized fortune cookie, dinner mints from restaurants and a takeout menu stuck to the bottom of the drawer.

You'll also find plastic drinking straws. We're hanging on to a few before they become obsolete. The two decrepit steak knives with plastic handles aren't for eating, but for ripping open delivery boxes.

A good junk drawer takes years to build. Amazon does not sell a plastic ruler with pictures of past presidents on it that is cracked in two places. A ruler like that takes years of getting snagged in the back of the drawer. It's not that useful for drawing a straight line any longer, but it's been around

so long it's like family. You don't dump family.

Need felt pad tips for chair legs, so they don't scratch your hardwoods? An emery board for filing your nails? A neon green miniature flashlight, book matches, AAA batteries? A gauge to check air pressure in your tires?

We've got it all in the junk drawer.

Somewhere. Dig deeper.

Consider this: Charging your phone at various outlets around the house, especially ones near the floor, is good for your knees.

Those deep bends may be all that's keeping you flexible.

Go ahead, empty your junk drawer and turn it into a neat and clean, streamlined charger drawer.

But remember this _ Rome wasn't built in a day and neither was a good junk drawer.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

3 easy projects to transform a bathroom (BPT) - Updating the bathroom with the latest trends is something many homeowners desire, but the thought of a complete remodel can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are many easy and accessible upgrades that you can make that will transform your bathroom and add value to your home.

Consider these easy bathroom projects that reflect today’s trends while adhering to any style home.

Update an existing vanity If you have a dated vanity that has good bones, there’s no need to replace it. You can take charge with some DIY elbow grease and update it instead. For example, if you have a honey oak vanity that you want to update to a more current style, start by removing all hardware and cover to protect floors and vanity top. Then sand the surface and paint with primer so it’s ready for your choice of color and finishes.

Next, paint the entire vanity in the color of your choice. Gray 16

vanities are currently popular and will project a contemporary feeling while white is timeless and conveys cleanliness. Another trend is to feature color on the bathroom vanity, such as blue or green, which adds visual interest to the space.

Depending on your preference you might finish with a gloss for a modern look or distress the edges for a farmhouse style. Complete the upgrade with new hardware and you’ll have an entirely new look in your bathroom.

Add subway tile bath surrounds Custom tile bath projects are complex and costly, but the new Traverse bath and shower solution from Sterling Plumbing makes it simple to update your space with style and functionality. The uniquely designed four-piece wall set is easy to move and install, with a clean, contemporary style featuring a glossy subway tile facade that is manufactured out of proprietary Vikrell material that

provides strength, durability and beauty.

Installing a Traverse is easy because it has smaller components for trouble-free transportation around corners and up and down stairways that lead to the bathroom. The self-guiding alignment and tongue-andgroove joints make installation straightforward and minimizes future maintenance. Additionally, Sterling’s patented Dry-Block seal and water containment channels form watertight seams for a caulkfree installation. Learn more at sterlingplumbing.com.

Upgrade flooring It’s simple to put a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling so when you look up, your bathroom appears clean and updated. But what about when you look down? If the floors have seen better days, it’s time to replace them. You may long for marble tile or exotic wood floors, but these projects are expensive

and can be time-consuming.

Luckily, there are many affordable modern vinyl options that are humidity safe, slip resistant and durable, making them ideal for use in the bathroom.

Today’s vinyl has come a long way from the cheap-looking sheets from decades ago. With a little research you can discover modern vinyl options made to look like myriad materials including mosaic tile, natural stone, wood planks and more. Often you can use the existing floor as the sub-floor, so there’s no need to remove it.

Today’s top bathroom trends are easily within reach when you research projects and products that help streamline your efforts.

Whether you choose to do one of these projects or all three, you’ll be amazed how these changes can impact the overall appearance of the bathroom.

DESIGN RECIPES

10 fresh ways to bring in spring colors

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service Spring is almost upon us.

It’s time to liven up your space with fresh spring color.

While floral colors are often thought of, some creative color combinations can help add a renewed sense of color to your home.

Here are some top color trends and tips for spring.

Shades of gray While some grays are warm, others are cool and have lots of blue elements. Various shades of soft and deeper cool gray can help create a soft, soothing spring space.

Turquoise and orange This color combination is often popular because blue and orange are complementary colors on the color wheel. Using turquoise as the shade of blue adds a bright, vibrant color twist.

Hot pink Pink remains a popular color

for those looking to add an interesting pop to a space. Pink can be paired with neutral colors such as gray, taupe, black and even brown.

Chartreuse Tired of yellow? Chartreuse, which is a mix of yellow and green, is a modern color choice.

White paired with taupe and brown The design scheme/concept of white on white is a color combination that is truly fresh and modern.

Pastels While it may feel like stating the obvious, from pastel blue to powder pink, consider bringing one of these soft shades into your home.

Green When many people think of spring they think of the transition from brown lawns to those that are lush, vibrant and bright. Why not bring either

greenery or the color green into your space?

Metallics Brass and silver serve as perfect accent colors in spring decor.

Yellow and orange Traditionally considered to be more fall colors, this combination also works for spring.

Indigo vs. black Indigo is a great base color and can provide a softer look than black for those looking for a reach deep color to incorporate into their spring decor.

Q: Dear Ed: I have a shower stall with good plumbing and nice tiles but the shower pipe and head is boring, worn out and outdated.

Without getting into a remodeling job, what can I do to add some nice features and improve my shower? – Ted, Maine A: Sounds like you could use a refresh job on your tile shower stall.

“Refresh” means to improve your present shower setup without remodeling the tile walls or the in-wall plumbing. Basically, you can work off the shower arm connection and install a new interior shower setup.

This is possible because of updated shower column kits that anchor to the existing tile walls.

A shower column kit usually includes a showerhead, hand shower and a specially finished vertical pipe column. The column can also include a diverter, sliding hand shower bracket and rain head-style setup as well.

Bottom line: For a refreshing shower option that may not wash away your budget, look into a
