How can you refresh your furniture? floral or plaid piece.

You can try to make your own slipcovers to match your home’s décor and furniture’s specifications.

Otherwise, you can buy one that ties on, snaps on or has an elastic band.

By Emily Simpson, Angie’s List Angie’s List (TNS) Whether your furniture is outdated or you like changing your décor regularly, refreshing your current furniture or a garage sale find is a great way to get an updated look.

REUPHOLSTERING

PAINTING FURNITURE

Reupholstering furniture is a bit more expensive than painting, but it’s much cheaper than buying a new chair or couch. By reupholstering that ugly wingback chair, you can choose the fabric you want, add some updated elements like tufting or nail-head trim and make sure you have the exact look you want.

One of the easiest ways to update a piece is to paint it. Painted furniture isn’t limited to wood; you can update metal, wicker, even upholstery. Personalize any piece to match your style; add a funky design or go with a classic antiqued look.

Your furniture will determine the paint you use:

How to avoid completely replacing shower stall tile

By Ed Del Grande, Tribune News Service (TNS) Q; Dear Ed: We have an older shower stall and the mixing valve has to be replaced. The valve is installed in an area hard to access and we need to open up the tile.

The present tile can’t be matched.

Any ideas on how we may avoid extensive remodeling work and best deal with this big problem?

— Rich, Florida Solid surface shower wall panel kits are becoming very popular for new shower stall installations. (Kohler)

A: Solid surface shower wall panel kits are becoming very

popular for new shower stall installations.

The good news is these durable waterproof panels can also be custom-cut and installed over existing tile walls. So, to avoid extensive demo work you can open up only the wet wall area needed to install the new mixing valve.

Once the plumbing is completed, the wall panels along with the corner joint kits can be installed over the existing tile. This not only can make the job easier, it can also give your shower stall a brand-new look. I’ve worked with a shower

Lawn and Garden

Want to catch homebuyers’ eyes? Follow 5 easy steps to a lush lawn (BPT) - When it comes to selling a home there are many different strategies and most of them focus on the home’s interior. However, what many sellers fail to realize is that it’s the exterior of the home that often makes or breaks a sale.

Curb appeal is necessary for that vital first impression. Much of a buyer’s opinion about a property is formed before they even enter the front door. Research shows curb appeal not only speeds the sale but also increases offer prices.

One of the biggest influencing factors of curb appeal is the health of the lawn. Think about how much property space the lawn covers. A sparse lawn dotted with weeds lowers a buyer’s opinion of the home, while a lush, green lawn elevates a home, and gives the impression it is well taken care of.

Lawn revitalization projects provide impressive return on investment. According to the 2016 Remodeling Impact: Outdoor Features report, lawn seeding earns the top spot for return on investment, recovering 417 percent of the June 17-18, 2017

project cost at resale. Implementing a standard lawn care program recovers 303 percent and updating a landscape with a sod lawn recovers 143 percent. Lawn revitalization projects offer much higher returns than many other home improvement projects, including kitchen remodels and deck additions.

Lawn revitalization projects are surprisingly easy to do, so whether you’re selling your home or are staying put and just want to enjoy your property more, it’s a worthwhile investment. The experts at Grass Seed USA, a coalition of grass seed farmers and academic turf specialists, offer the following five simple steps to achieving a lush lawn fast.

1. Aerate When the soil under a lawn becomes too compacted, water, air and nutrients have a hard time reaching

grass roots. Lawn aerators correct this problem by pulling small plugs of soil about 1/2 inch in diameter and 2 to 3 inches deep out of the ground. You can affordably rent an aerator for a day or hire a professional.

2. Reseed If you have bare patches or your lawn looks thin, reseeding is an easy solution. Start by contacting a local turf specialist to determine the best seed or sod to purchase for your location and soil type. Then, rake the bare areas of your lawn and apply seed. Water lightly and regularly until new grass grows in. The spring and fall are good times to seed due to cooler weather, although it can be done any time of year.

3. Mow high Never cut off more than 1/3 of the

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

To keep your lawn healthy, aim to fertilize at least once a year; four times a year is ideal. Your local garden center can recommend the fertilizer best for your climate and grass type. Additionally, naturally fertilize your lawn by leaving grass clippings after you mow. As grass clippings break down, they enrich the soil with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, the same nutrients found in fertilizer.

5. Irrigate A thorough watering once or twice a week is better than lightly misting every day. Allowing the soil to dry before it is watered again encourages the roots to grow deeper into the soil and can help the lawn become drought tolerant in the future. What’s more, water during the early morning and evening hours to avoid excess evaporation. Watering during the heat of the day can actually scald and burn grass.

Hot walls can change your garden for good

By Maureen Gilmer, Tribune News Service (TNS) Great theater helps us transcend reality and rise above our everyday vexations. It captures us in a way that is contemplative and inspirational by stimulating brainwaves we often overlook in this frenetic world. Perhaps this is why one hot wall in a room of the house or in a garden can make profound changes to the character of the adjacent space. Hot colors are stimulating to the eye, but nowhere do they function as well as when painted on a garden’s accent wall.

What makes a hot red or orange or neon yellow wall so amazing is how it works with green plants.

Red hues are complimentary to greens making them visually vibrate when paired. That’s why having a hot wall can become a real theater for featuring your most beautiful plants.

When you grow a succulent in front of a hot wall, something unique happens. These often rigid and geometrically-shaped plants feature crisp clean edges and bold forms compared to softer shrubs and perennials. In the open air, these edges aren’t as crisp because

backgrounds are more neutral, so they can lose some of their drama this way. An ordinary prickly pear cactus against a wall reveals its ping-pong paddle shaped stems in a whole new way year-round.

Special effects come with spring flowers and summer fruits that ripen yellow and orange.

With plants such as the Southwestern native Ocotillo, the stems are stiff, rod-like and thorny. When dormant, which can be any time of year, the bare wood is just as attractive against a hot wall. This plant offers textural interest to contemporary structures without maintenance.

Big potted plants are outstanding against a hot wall.

Never forget that walls are shadow boxes. If front lighted by placing the low voltage fixture in front of the plants, their shadows are cast onto the wall behind. Shadows can elongate to exaggerate spines or other shapes for dramatic effects.

It’s great fun to use a solar light to illuminate the plants and create the larger shadow result you have in mind. Try a low voltage light for more light and longer shadows necessary with taller plants and walls.

For those who’ve never experimented with hot walls, the key is to do a color test before you decide on the hue. Do a color test on the wall you have in mind by painting each possible candidate color in a sizable square. This lets you see how hot it really is in the sunlight. Study your colors at different times of day to see how they appear then, and under night lighting as well. This should help you make a choice in real time, not off a swatch or at the store, so that wall pops the way you want it to.

can take hot color, too. Use in any scenario as an immediate problem solver, particularly in small city gardens and rental yards. For under $20, you can create your own hot wall in a weekend. Turn the back of the old shed into a beautiful setting for your own personal space. Control your patio views by offering a visually compelling focal point.

Make that old condo courtyard new with 21st century modern hues.

The beauty of one hot wall is you can change it next year, and the one after that. It can evolve with your own interests and palette over time. You’re not committing to a huge area, so if it doesn’t look quite right, try another shade. And if you’re in love with cactus and succulents, there is no better way to get that California designer look than setting them off on a hot wall.

Buzz about the Colorado Pollinator Highway The Colorado Department of transportation is hoping traffic increases along a stretch of I-76 from Arvada to Nebraska.

Bumbling, zipping, hovering, and crawling, all types of drivers are welcome on the CAROL O’MEARA special CSU Extension roadway CDOT is maintaining to protect our pollinators.

With the unanimous approval of Joint Resolution 17-1029 on May 8, the Colorado General Assembly ensured that bees, butterflies, and other pollinators have something to buzz about along I-76, the Colorado Pollinator Highway. Recognizing that native ecosystems and agriculture benefit when pollinators are protected, Colorado’s leaders in the House and Senate designated the stretch of road to be used to provide habitat for the smallest of citizens.

“CDOT Landscape Architecture Division had this idea, which came from their staff. We’re trying to build off CDOT policies that create roadside habitats,” says Joyce Kennedy, Coordinator for People and Pollinators Action Network.

The advocacy group worked with

June 17-18, 2017

CDOT to bring the proposal to the Colorado legislature.

CDOT has been identifying potential habitats along roadways, looking for those with potential for different management approaches to enhance and protect animals, birds, or insects around them. The Pollinator Highway will help raise awareness of pollinators and provide signs to help educate people on the topic.

Concern over dwindling numbers of native and domesticated pollinators has advocacy groups encouraging action on measures to halt the losses. Restoration of lost habitat is crucial to those efforts. “I-76 runs though rural and urban areas and a number of different ecosystems,” said Kennedy, “By improv-

ing mowing policies to cut down on mowing, spot spraying noxious weeds, and using bio-controls to control weeds, roadsides can be good habitat.”

CDOT plans to use more native plants and grasses as they restore roadsides, plus train road maintenance crews in techniques to keep the habitats intact. Losses to windshields shouldn’t be an issue because good habitat will keep insects within a swath instead of foraging in the middle of the road.

The Colorado Pollinator Highways is one piece of the puzzle for helping pollinators overcome their losses. With urbanization taking a toll on diverse habitats, backyard gardeners can play their part by planting a variety of plants the

flower throughout the season.

Instead of spraying pesticides willy-nilly about the yard, use targeted approaches for controlling pests. The first step is correctly identifying what the pest is and then trying low impact controls, such as hand picking, before reaching for a spray. Try to tolerate a little nibbling on a leaf; sacrificing a snack to an insect is part and parcel of having a garden. Choose any pesticide carefully, read, and follow the directions on the label, keeping in mind that most prohibit use on plants in flower.

Throughout June, Colorado museums, libraries, businesses, gardens and farmer’s markets will be hosting pollinator activities and events.

5 Home Issues That Could Scare Away Potential Buyers Home sellers often think that receiving an offer is the most important milestone in the home selling process.

By Suzanne Plewes The reality is, CRS, ABR, CDPE, GRI there are sevBroker Associate at eral critical RE/MAX Alliance milestones that must be reached before reaching the closing table.

One early milestone is the home inspection. To avoid scaring buyers away, it is important to identify and address certain issues beforehand.

After all, knowing that inspection issues were the cause of a deal falling through could deter future potential buyers, so it’s best to avoid the situation altogether. Below are several issues that often scare away buyers.

Plumbing Leaks Plumbing leaks are not uncommon, but they can be scary. Most buyers imagine the need for a major plumbing repair or assume that mold and other damages may exist behind walls and under floors. If you’ve had any plumbing leaks, no matter how minor, be sure to have them properly repaired. It is also important to repair any damages to ceilings, walls, and floors. Leaving glaring signs of past issues can be detrimental to your home sale.

Wood Destroying Insects Signs of wood destroying insects is another issue that can quickly scare away potential buyers. First and foremost, if you are aware of any infestations, be sure to get the problem treated. There’s nothing worse to a buyer than to hear that there’s an active issue. Secondly, repair any damaged areas. Lastly, put preventative measures in place to minimize the chances of the problem recur-

Structural Problems

Home buyers always associate structural issues with high repair costs. However, structural concerns can vary from very minor to major. Hearing that a repair was improperly performed is sometimes just as bad to a buyer as learning that there is an issue to begin with.

COVERPROFILE

Decorating mistakes you can fix in

15 MINUTES OR LESS (SERIOUSLY)

By Gabrielle Savoie, Domaine (TNS) Decorating mistakes are so easily made: You buy a sofa without measuring your door clearance, you hang a light too low and bump your head on it, or you paint an entire room in the wrong color without testing it first. Yes, decorating faux pas are a dime a dozen, but most often, they’re not so easily fixed. Whether you have to return a large piece of furniture, call in a plumber or an electrician or even spend an entire weekend repainting a room, it can be tempting to put these decorating fixes way down on the to-do list.

But other mistakes are actually much easier to fix than one would think — so we asked a handful of interior designers to share the most common design mistakes that can be fixed in 15 minutes or less. Whether it’s hanging a second hook behind your frames, switching a lightbulb or even rotating a rug 90 degrees, we guarantee you can fix each of these faux pas in a pinch. Don’t delay any longer — your weekend to-do list to a better home is right here.

ABOUT YOUR ART “A common misconception is that a small space only warrants small pieces,” explains interior designer Abbe Fenimore of Studio Ten 25.

“Larger pieces actually bring in visual interest, texture and color, completing the look of the space.

And when hanging pieces, don’t go too high or too low. Aim for the center of the piece to hit 60 inches, 8

directly at eye level for most.”

Most designers would agree that people tend to hang art too high, as Nancy Mayerfield explains, “Art hung too high is always a pet peeve of mine. But more than art being hung too high is art that is crooked.

To fix a crooked piece of art, there are two options. The easiest is to add a second art hook. To make sure that the addition of the hook does not cause the art to be hung higher or off-center, you may need to start the hanging process from scratch.”

For interior designer Carter Kay, the problem is not only how high the art is hung but also the size of the artwork itself: “Most people have a hard time with hanging their art — it’s either too high, too low, too small, but rarely too large! In several cases, we have found that hanging a client’s own art in a gallery style has a tremendous and immediate impact.”

ABOUT YOUR LIGHTING “A room oftentimes has overhead

lighting and that is it. To make a room really stand out, I recommend using light from all different heights and angles: overhead lighting, a floor lamp, a table lamp, and the often forgotten up-lighting,” explains Kazuko Hoshino, principal at Studio William Hefner. “In my very first home, our budget was limited, but we purchased very inexpensive lights to up-light in our living room and guests always commented on how warm and inviting our home was.”

Beyond placing lighting below chin level, which casts a flattering light on just about anyone, Caitlin Murray of Black Lacquer Design recommends swapping lightbulbs: “Switch out lightbulbs to softer ones that create a pretty, warm glow, and put any overhead lighting on dimmers for more control over ambiance.”

ABOUT YOUR LAYOUT “Simply rethinking how a room’s furniture can be arranged can change the entire look and function of the room,” says Kay. “In fact, we

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

usually start with a client by simply rearranging the furniture!”

Mayerfield concurs: “Sometimes people take a large room and place all the furniture against the walls,” she says. “Move the furniture around to make the furniture part of the room and part of the conversation. It’s okay to walk around a piece of furniture.

It’s okay not to have a walkway in the middle of the room but to create a slight obstacle in the space.”

Jaclyn Joslin, a designer at Coveted Home, believes you should not only pull furniture away from the walls but that you should also pull pieces away from each other: “Pull furniture out from the wall, and give it room to breathe. I see furniture crammed together so much, and it’s such an easy fix. Plus, it will create flow in the room.”

ABOUT YOUR CURTAINS “We find that way too many people seem to be ordering drapery from catalogs or premade sources,” says Kay. “Most times, these solutions result in poor-fitting and cheap-looking drapery. A quick fix could be buying extra panels for each side of a window to double the volume. Moving the pins to ‘lower’ drapery is not ideal but can work for drapery that is not long enough.

Or you can call on a professional drapery workroom for a true measurement and estimate. It shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes!”

Cecily Mendell of Cecy J Interiors has an entirely different approach: “Remove it,” she says. “I’m constantly breaking the rules on window treatments. If privacy or the June 17-18, 2017

the toilet (if you’re short on space), and under counters. They contain the clutter in an instant while still allowing for easy access to the things you use the most.”

For Murray, the true clutter crime is in open shelving: “Instead of viewing your open storage as a glorified catchall, use your shelves as a decorative opportunity. Curate a well-balanced collection of books, sculptures, vases, artwork, and more to create visual interest.” Joslin adds a clever trick to make accessorizing easy: “Position accessories together in groups of like items or varying heights instead of spacing them out or lining them up.”

ABOUT YOUR CLUTTER “Entryways in homes always seem to become catchalls, attracting clutter easily and leaving a not-so-welcoming impression on guests,” says Fenimore. “That’s

why it’s important to decorate with intent. Choose functional pieces like consoles or ottomans to store keys, shoes and handbags, while keeping them at arm’s reach. Then add interest with a small patterned rug or mirrored pieces, which open up the space.

“A typical 84-inch sofa doesn’t need copious amounts of pillows to have a tremendous visual impact in a room,” says Kay. “In fact, we find that three to five is plenty! A 20-inch pillow is too small by itself, but add a 22-inch behind it, and its proportion is much more appropriate. We like two or three pillows on one side and one or two on the other — or an odd rectangle in the middle to keep the symmetry off balance.”

Joslin adds that worn-out cushions are the easiest way to cheapen the look of a room: “Fluff your cushions, and rotate them on a regular basis. Most don’t think sofa or chair cushions need maintenance, but they do. Simply rotate, flip, and fluff to maintain shape and extend life span while making the room look neater in a snap!”

ABOUT YOUR RUGS The last mistake you might not have known you were making is placing your rugs in the wrong direction. “Rugs should be wider than the area of the furniture they’re framing so they extend past the right, left and front of the sofa or bed (or whatever furniture is resting on it),” explains Murray. “Just remember that this rule doesn’t apply to behind furniture.”

How to buy investment property

By Debbie Carlson, Chicago Tribune (TNS) There are a lot of pluses to owning rental real estate: diversifying from the usual investments of stocks and bonds; offering an alternative stream of income; and creating a potentially scalable business.

But there are challenges, too — it requires capital, a time commitment and dealing with tenants.

“Real estate investing is not for the faint of heart,” said Robert Dolan, owner of mortgage broker Capital Financial Group in Winnetka, Ill. Real-estate experts said people who want to get into the world of owning rental property need to consider a few factors.

at investment property, so closely review rents at comparable properties.

“If I’m looking at 2,500-squarefoot condos, I need to know what do they rent for, and what do similar positioned condos sell for.

Have they been renovated to get what may be a premium in rent, and am I going to have to renovate the property I’m considering to get that rent? Make sure you consider apples-to-apples when you do comparables. Otherwise you can end up with less free-cash flow or rent that could end up blowing up your deal,” said Jared Snider, senior wealth adviser at Exencial Wealth Advisors in Oklahoma City, who has also practiced real estate law.

At a minimum, the rent needs to cover the owner’s principal, interest, insurance, real-estate taxes, and if it’s a condominium, the monthly association fee, Dolan said.

Dolan and Snider said investors looking at condominiums need to know what limits the association may have on rental properties, as some buildings want to keep a balance between how many units are rentals and how many are owneroccupied.

It can cost more. People who need to finance their purchase must have at least 20 percent down, with 25 percent preferred, Dolan said.

Fannie Mae, one of the leading

Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com

sources of financing for mortgage lenders, allows borrowers to finance the purchase of up to four units as a residential purchase, he said. Anything above that is considered commercial real estate, he added.

Investment-property mortgages can be costlier overall because there are more risks involved. Plus there are the usual fees that go with any real-estate transaction — origination fees, title fees and attorney fees. Securing mortgage financing approval ahead of locating the desired property helps with negotiations, Dolan said.

Snider said new landlords often have a hard time accounting for what all the costs will look like, which is why taking the time to create a line-item budget for any property is important, as is having access to funds to pay for unexpected costs.

Sometimes property may need improvements before tenants move in, Dolan said.

“You want to make sure you have sufficient cash on hand. There are times you might have elevated expenses, and you don’t want to put too much of a cash crunch on your personal cash flows,” he said.

It’s a time commitment. Snider said potential landlords need to understand that it takes time to attend to the physical needs of the property and time to recoup the investment, which is the first thing he tells potential investors.

“A lot of folks who are buying a condo to rent out think of the phrase ‘passive investment,’ but it’s not. When you’re a landlord, that’s definitely not passive, even if you hire a management company” to take care of the property, he said.

Landlords need to attend to building maintenance and address issues tenants may have that can’t be put off, he said.

Ideally, landlords should view the investment with a long-term focus, they said. While some housing markets become “hot,” they don’t stay that way as their values tend to run in cycles.

“Whenever you invest in real estate, you build wealth through rents and build value through the property appreciating. Generally, the property will appreciate over 10 to 20 years in line with inflation,” Snider said.

4 ways every homebuyer can save on title insurance

Negotiating is one of your most powerful tools. (Shutterstock.com)

By Margarette Burnette, Bankrate.com (TNS) When you find the home of your dreams, make an offer and apply for a mortgage, you might not give much thought to the cost of title insurance. But that can be a mistake.

A title policy defends buyers (and their lenders) from future property ownership claims, surprise liens and other potentially costly complications with property titles.

Homebuyers usually purchase title insurance as part of closing costs and often take the first title insurer suggested by the seller, says Rafael Castellanos, founder of Expert Title Insurance Agency in New York.

Unfortunately, many buyers get sticker shock when they realize how much title insurance is. “The fees are generally about 1 percent of the loan amount,” Castellanos says.

However, buyers can cut the cost of a title insurance policy by hundreds of dollars if they are willing to ask questions and get independent guidance.

Here are four ways you can save money on title insurance.

SHOP AROUND FOR THE BEST DEAL Title insurance involves a twopart process. First, a search of a property’s title history is conducted to look for errors or problems with the deed. Then, an insurance policy

is underwritten to protect the buyer if any issues are discovered.

In several states, insurance providers are allowed to set their own prices, which means the insurance premiums can vary widely.

Homebuyers won’t know which title companies offer the best rates unless they shop around.

A good place to start comparison-shopping is the website of the American Land Title Association, which provides a search engine based on geography.

Another option is to ask an independent attorney for help in understanding local regulations, costs involved and insurance company recommendations.

“Buyers need someone who has an independent thought and who is well-versed in real estate,” Castellanos says. “The best person for that is often an attorney.”

NEGOTIATE THE ADD-ON FEES In states where insurance is highly regulated, title insurers don’t have much wiggle room on their rates. So, homebuyers won’t find much difference in premiums from one company to another.

However, in nearly all cases, extra fees are part of the transaction when you buy a title insurance policy. These add-on expenses include mail and courier charges, copy fees, and costs for searches and certificates — and these charges can be negotiable, even when the insurance premiums are not.

Experts say you often can reduce these costs simply by calling the title insurance company and asking to have some of the fees removed.

If the insurer balks, you can always look for another provider.

that they have a valid first lien against the property, so they require this insurance.”

Although the two insurance policies are independent of one other, borrowers can buy them together and save.

“When the policies are issued at the same time, in some states there is something called the ‘simultaneous issue rate,’” Castellanos says.

It includes a highly discounted premium for the lender’s insurance.

As a result, the total title cost for both policies is usually a lot less than if they were purchased independent of each other. Always be sure to ask for this discount.

ASK THE SELLER TO PAY FOR YOUR POLICY When a local real estate market favors buyers over sellers, homebuyers may feel emboldened to ask sellers to pay for title insurance.

That used to be a very unusual

request. However, in a buyer’s market, sellers are motivated and may be more willing to negotiate.

“You will see people financially negotiating on every term, including asking someone to pay for their title insurance,” says Edward Mermelstein, a real estate attorney with Rheem, Bell, and Mermelstein in New York.

However, he cautions buyers not to lose sight of the overall goal, which is to close the sale.

There are many other concessions buyers can ask for in a deal — such as a reduced purchase price or a home warranty — that save even more money than having the seller pay for title insurance.

ASK FOR THE ‘SIMULTANEOUS ISSUE RATE’ Homebuyers purchase title insurance to protect themselves. At the same time, their mortgage company will likely require that a separate insurance policy be issued in the lender’s name.
