Top 10 value-enhancing home improvement

PROJECTS FOR OLDER HOMES Wall removal

Removing a wall between the kitchen and living room can enhance the functionality of the area and provide a modern open concept design. Cutouts in walls are another option if the wall cannot be completely removed. Remember to ensure any wall is not load-bearing before removal, so you don’t impact the structural integrity of the home.

Popcorn ceilings

(BPT) - Do you own an older home, and are you looking to make upgrades that matter? Strategic enhancements not only increase a property’s resale value, but also its functionality.

This is particularly important among young homebuyers. Sixty-eight percent of millennial homebuyers reported buyer’s remorse, according to a Bank of the West survey. Today’s high home prices in cities across the country mean that many millennials are buying older homes rather than newly built ones.

Shortly after the purchase, these homebuyers feel disappointed with the dated features of their homes, unsure what and where to renovate.

If you feel you’ve settled for your home, or perhaps you love the older property but want to give it a face-lift, here are some leading home-improvement projects for older homes:

Technology additions

Smart-home features are frequently requested in new construction. Fortunately, your older home can become a smart home too when you implement technology, such as home automation.

Thanks to WiFi, there’s no need for clumsy and costly rewiring. Smart thermostats, smart music and programmable lighting are prime examples.

Tankless water heaters

Tankless water heaters are ideal for older homes because they are easy to install, take up much less space and can reduce energy costs by as much as 60 percent. Because they heat water on demand, you never have to worry about running out of hot water. What’s more, longer warranties than what can be found with traditional storage-tank water heaters are now available. Check out the new 25-year warranty from Noritz on select tankless water heaters.

Once upon a time, popcorn ceilings were the top trend installed in every house. Today, they distract the eye and make a home look old. Consider hiring someone to redo your ceilings or research how to scrape it yourself. Leave flat or add a knock-down texture, which is a popular modern drywall finishing technique.

New paint/wallpaper

That ‘70s pea-green paint in the bathroom and the ‘80s floral wallpaper in the bedroom instantly date your home.

By updating the walls, your house will feel more modern and you can customize to your personal tastes. Dedicate a weekend to painting the walls in your favorite spaces and you’ll be amazed at the transformation.

Painting old grout

After years and sometimes decades, grout in bathrooms and kitchen spaces really takes a beating and turns a dirty color that’s impossible to clean. It can be time-consuming and tedious to replace grout, so to get a fresh look consider painting it instead. Specialty

grout paint makes the process simple with easy application features that simply roll on.

Update hardware

Hardware throughout a home gets dingy and dated. To update a space without an overhaul, simply change out the hardware. Cabinet knobs, drawer handles, towel racks and more in a modern metallic hue can make a space feel fresh again without much investment. Don’t forget about air registers, which can also impact the visual appeal of a space.

Energy-efficient insulation

There are many modern insulation options available today that weren’t around when older homes were built, and many of those homes have little to no insulation at all. In addition to insulation, remember to seal spaces for air loss, such as air ducts, doors, windows, pipe inlets and the attic.Embrace the history: Be sure to research the history of the home and neighborhood. Would pulling out that original wood built-in be a detriment to the home’s authenticity and value? Perhaps you can hire someone to update the original wood flooring, so it has the modern stain tone you like, but the planks still maintain the home’s original luster.Light fixtures: Light-fixture styles change through the years and can make your home appear older than necessary. Replacements can make a world of difference. For example, replace an old brass chandelier with a modern pendant design. Not only will it be a style update, but the light output can make the space more usable.

Homeowners wanting to upgrade, upsell have

MULTIPLE IMPROVEMENT OPTIONS

At the pricier end of the upgrade options, quartz counters are a popular choice, as is hidden storage. (Shutterstock)

By Shelley Widhalm for Times-Call Home & Garden Over time when homes become tired and outdated, homeowners can choose a few budget-conscious remodels or go for a full splurge.

If they want to sell or sell for more, some remodel projects will add value to their home, but others should be done long before the move—the return won’t be the cash invested but a few years of enjoyment and, at the time of sale, a higher resell value.

“You can over improve your house,” said Dave Wagner, broker with ERA Tradewind Real Estate in Longmont and past-president of the Longmont Association of Realtors. “You don’t always get that back immediately when you make a sale. … If you’re doing it to enjoy it, that’s part of the investment in the house. If you wish it looked better, you should do it now, so you live in a better house.”

Start with the Kitchen and Bath

Kitchens and bathrooms usually are the first rooms in the house to need a remodel, since they are heavily used. For a budget-conscious refresh, try Miracle Method, while for more extensive remodeling work, Budget Home Supply has

many options that give a new, updated look.

“We can come in and update their look at a huge savings over replacing,” said Brian Weber, president and coowner of Miracle Method of Boulder in Longmont with his wife, Lynne. “We refinish stuff to look like new.”

Over time, kitchens and bathrooms can be outdated in color and finish—for instance, pink and blue were popular in the 1950s and ’60s, followed by gold and green in the ’70s, Weber said. Stainless steel was popular in the late ’90s but because of the fingerprints, black stainless steel became the trend, he said.

Granite is another trend for things like countertops—Miracle Method can refinish the surface with a stone finish to achieve a similar look at a savings of 50 to 70 percent, Weber said.

Miracle Method also refinishes bathtubs that may be dull or in an undesirable color by removing the old finish, prepping the surface and applying the new finish, Weber said. The same process applies to other surfaces, such as showers—or just the fiberglass shower pan can be repaired and refinished, he said.

“We can make it new again without tearing it out,” Weber said, adding that sinks and toilets are easily replaced and cost more to refinish.

Carmen Gibson, lead designer at

Budget Home Supply in Longmont, finds that popular upgrades in the kitchen include soft-close drawers and cabinet doors and organizers for inside the cabinetry to avoid cluttering countertops.

“They want a minimalistic look. They want a clean look, so what goes inside the cabinets is important,” Gibson said, adding that cabinet doors and drawers also can be upgraded with hardware for modern, traditional or country looks with quartz as the material of choice for the countertops.

Bathrooms, too, are going minimal, such as cabinets with grooming centers for blow dryer and curling iron storage, rolling trays underneath the sink and wastebaskets that pull out from the cabinets.

“For bathrooms, bold tiles for the floor and back splashes are becoming more popular, something with a lot of pattern to them,” Gibson said.

Be Sure to Include the Floors

Installing new flooring in the bathroom and other rooms of the house, as well as painting, is one of the most important upgrades prior to selling—there are multiple price points within each product category.

“Flooring is one of the first things people will notice, especially if it is inadequate,” said Troy Wonnacott, president

Times-Call – TimesCall.com

and general manager of Basset Carpets in Longmont. “It’s twofold. One, you’re going to enjoy your home more, especially if you have a product that’s going to be more user-friendly, such as pet- and waterproof and easier maintenance.”

Second, new flooring is one of the easiest and quickest ways to raise the value of the home, Wonnacott said.

Bassett Carpets offers carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate, luxury vinyl plank, and area rugs, plus window coverings in various price ranges. Carpeting options include higher-end products that have unique patterns instead of a solid color and a new product category called floorigami, a soft modular carpet tile that is budget conscious and easy to install, Wonnacott said.

“It’s really super easy to install, so you can cover an area with virtually no installation experience,” Wonnacott said.

For hard flooring, wood options that are not actual wood are trendy, such as LVPs, Wonnacott said. They have a hardwood look and also are easy to install in glue-down and floating options, plus, they are water-, stain- and fade-proof and great for high-traffic areas in the home, he said.

Glue-down planks have a pressuresensitive releasable adhesive, while floating planks click together. The individual planks for each type can be removed and replaced in case of damage, instead of having to replace the entire floor.

“Now, it’s much more manageable to deal with any issues you have,” Wonnacott said.

Another way to achieve a hardwood look is porcelain tile, which varies in appearance for each tile and requires little maintenance, Wonnacott said.

“In the last couple of years, they modernized the visuals of it. That’s what makes it more realistic,” Wonnacott said.

“A repeated pattern can give it a cheap look. You want to have character in it.”

Other Things to Consider

Besides flooring and kitchen and bath updates, there are a few other things to think about if you’re ready to sell, such as pre-packing, removing things from the closet and putting nonessentials in storage, plus doing a thorough clean, said Kathy Crowder, real estate broker for RE/MAX Alliance in Longmont. From there, painting will give “the best bang for the buck,” she said.

“Changing your vision and looking at March 17, 2019

it with fresh eyes is a really good first step,” Crowder said. “There’s things that you can do to freshen things up that will make it more contemporary and appealing to buyers.”

Crowder recommends several small changes, such as repainting the front door, putting flowers in pots in the warmer months and adding fresh cushions to outdoor furniture. Inside, she recommends a new faucet for the kitchen sink, new hardware for cabinets and new lighting fixtures for anything looking worn but cautions against installing gran- LVP is a lower cost, yet attractive way to update flooring.

DRAIN ON THE BRAIN:

Common plumbing problems and when to call the pros older homes.” Caustic, commercial products are very acidic, and will eat through pipes, Adair says. “Ultimately, their use also causes additional money not just to the homeowner, but to water treatment plants. There is an extra cost to treat the water and make it safe.”

What makes for a safe start? For clogged drains, a plain old plunger may do the trick. Here too, however, things may not be as simplistic as they seem. “Most people think a plunger is a plunger, but that’s not the case. There are actually specially designed plungers for toilets and for sinks.”

DIY Don’ts.

Regular maintenance on sinks, faucets and toilets will save homeowners money in the long run. (Shutterstock)

S

pring is on its way! So much we can all look forward to: warming temps, longer days; chirping birds, the tender bloom of vegetation…and a whole host of plumbing problems.

“Spring thaw can cause and reveal a lot of issues,” says Steve Moskal, owner of Steve’s Plumbing for thirty plus years and counting. “Gutter obstructions, poor outdoor drainage, broken outdoor faucets, cracked pipes.” Add these to the usual homeowner headaches of everything from leaky faucets to running toilets, and you may want to put your local plumber on speed dial. Or….you may want to tackle repairs yourself. Before you do, think carefully: is this really a good idea? Sometimes, maybe. Here, tips from the pros on keeping a happy flow at home, and plumbing hassles low.

Preventative Maintenance.

Plumbing issues will crop up over time, simply through the course of use, says M&M HVAC Master Plumber, Brian Adair. While you may not be able to avoid things breaking down, little things can go a long way toward keeping problems at bay. “Every fall, be sure to winterize properly,” Adair says. “Drain outside sprinkler systems. Disconnect garden hoses. Shut off valves, and make 8

sure they’re not dripping prior to winter.

Make sure your irrigation systems are winterized appropriately and professionally. This will really help prevent freeze break.”

General home maintenance itself can go significantly help protect your home from plumbing problems. “Too many times, plumbing problems are hastened because people let stuff go,” Moskal says. “Regular maintenance on sinks, faucets, and toilets will save a lot of money in the long run. Check your plumbing. Make sure your toilets are working. Check your pipes for any moisture or signs of corrosion.”

Monitoring water pressure for steady flow can cue homeowners in time to stop problems before they loom large.

Low flow can be a sign of a number of issues, such as clogged pipes, faulty fixtures, or poor water valves. On the flip side, Moskal says extreme high water pressure can also put great stress on plumbing systems as a whole, leading to issues from leaky faucets to broken water heaters.

Alongside protecting your plumbing systems, home maintenance can prevent problems that are typically perceived as plumbing issues. “I get a lot of calls for bathroom leaks, for example,” Moskal says. “Instead of a plumbing problem, they’ve got a case of missing grout, or worn-out caulking…general disrepair.”

DIY Do’s.

Regardless of the repair, first step is to turn off the water main. “At any job, the first thing we do as professionals is to locate the main water shutoff,” Adair says. “Then, we want to make sure it’s in good working condition.” Water can be one of the most damaging elements to a home, alongside fire, Adair says.

With the potential impact of water in mind, homeowners should keep aware that any issue, no matter how minor, may have several variables at play.

Removing small blockages clogging the sink may seem straightforward enough, but should still be approached with care.

“Whatever you do, don’t pour chemical concoctions down the drain to take care of the blockage,” Adair says. “These are very damaging to pipes, especially in

“If you have a water heater actively leaking, contact a plumber ASAP,” Adair says. For any water leak, shut off the water and call a plumber. Never underestimate the potential impact of water damage.

Are you hearing noises such as bubbling or gurgling from your sewer or drain? Call a plumber. It is likely time to have the mainline cleaned.

If you’re tempted to install pipes, a sink, or tub yourself, think twice. “I highly recommend a pro to ensure you conform to applicable plumbing codes,” Adair says. Some installations do not require special equipment, but in most cases, homeowners don’t have the appropriate tools and materials for proper drain connections and installation.

When in doubt, always consult a professional. “It’s more cost-effective to go straight to a pro than to take chances with complex tasks that don’t go according to plan,” Adair says. “No complaint is too small. To me, the only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.”

It’s best to have a tub or new pipes installed by professionals to ensure all codes are met.

5 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR LAWN HEALTHY THIS SUMMER 1. Don’t wait

Start In the Spring to Have a Healthy Lawn All Year As spring descends upon us, the responsibilities of lawn care emerge yet again. While it might still seem like summer and green grass are a long way off, now is the time to start caring for your lawn. Here are some tips to ensure that your lawn stays healthy and robust for the entirety of the season.

While many Colorado homeowners might not start to think about their lawn until snow disappears from the forecast, starting earlier will allow your lawn to develop a stronger and healthier root structure. “The purpose of this early spring attention to lawns is to condition the lawn for healthy root development and to promote beautiful looking turf throughout the summer and into the fall,” says Marty Johnson, owner of LAWN DOCTOR of Longmont. “Early spring lawn applications are important for building stress tolerances, strong roots, healthy color and preventing unwanted annual grasses.”

2. Stop weeds before they start

Start by fertilizing your lawn and applying pre-emergent controls for crabgrass and other annual grasses. “Poor broadleaf weed control is a major contributor to home owner dissatisfaction with lawn appearances,” says Johnson.

“Applying these controls, along with fertilizer, is the first step of the year toward

developing a rich, beautiful lawn you can enjoy for the next six or seven months.”

3. Watch the Weather

Pre-emergent controls for crabgrass can be affected by too little or too much rain, excessive heat, and even a heavy hailstorm. “The home owner should avoid seeding, thatching, heavy raking and core aeration after a preventative treatment is applied,” says Johnson. Cool weather can also lessen the effectiveness of these controls, so professionals usually provide additional broadleaf weed control in a later application, when it is warmer.

4. Be Cautious with Lawn Care Materials

While the ambitious home owner can purchase and apply their own lawn care materials, professionals like LAWN DOCTOR also offer this service.

Regardless of who applies the material, it’s important to do so with care and caution—especially if you have pets and little ones. “These materials are

Kathy Crowder

practically non-toxic as long as they are applied according to their labels,” says Johnson. “But it is a good practice to keep your family and pets off the lawn until the lawn care materials have been watered into the soil.”

5. Do a Mower Check-Up

Early Spring is also the time to check the condition of your lawn mower.

Blades should be sharp to avoid the shredding of leaf tips and to ensure a beautiful, healthy looking lawn. LAWN DOCTOR recommends collecting clippings, especially to avoid “clumps” on the lawn. “A good mowing height for most lawns is 2.5 to 3 inches,” says Johnson.

LAWN DOCTOR provides lawn service, tree and shrub Service and perimeter pest control, as well as core aeration and off-lawn weed control. Since 1983, LAWN DOCTOR of Longmont has been servicing the Longmont area including Gunbarrel, Niwot, Erie, Mead, Firestone, Frederick, Dacono and Lyons.

TOP EXTERIOR TRENDS to inspire your 2019 home projects the exterior can maximize the value of your home.”

Swint shares these insights and tips that will help you get inspired and plan your exterior home projects in 2019.

Think “cool neutrals” for the color story

(BPT) - Thinking of adding a deck?

How about replacing the tired, worn siding on your house? Now is the perfect time to start planning your 2019 home projects so you can nail the budget and settle on the look you’re after.

“Updating your home’s exterior can make an older home look more modern, but it can also make a new build feel warmer and more established,” says Kristine Swint, an in-house design expert at Royal Building Products. “Whether you plan to sell, or stay and enjoy your new features, anything you do to update

March 17, 2019

When someone suggests a neutral tone, do you think boring beige and tepid taupe? When it comes to vinyl siding, you may be pleasantly surprised to discover there’s a broad range of color and style choices to meet your design preferences, including soft grays, bolder blues and warm terra cottas.

“Going neutral no longer means sacrificing style, or having your house look like all the others on the block,” Swint says. “Today’s neutrals convey warmth, comfort and closeness to nature - all traits we desire in a home.”

If you need help planning your home’s new look, the HomePlay design tool from Royal Building Products lets you experiment with different colors and siding profiles. To get started, visit HomePlaybyRoyal.com.

Bring the inside out

If you’ve decided this year is the year to add a deck, don’t settle for an uninspired open-air platform. Today’s designers are remaking the deck concept altogether by bringing traditionally “indoor” amenities outside. Rugs, arbors and highdesign furniture will turn your deck into an outdoor living room. By adding a fire pit, portable furnace or heater, you can spend time on the deck year-round. For a finishing touch, a floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door not only brings in more sunlight, it creates a seamless transition from inside to outside.

But a great deck starts with highquality materials, because the last thing you want is to spend excessive time and money on maintenance. Instead of using natural wood, opt for a premium composite decking, such as Zuri Premium Decking, that combines the natural beauty of exotic hardwood with the unsurpassed and exceptionally lowmaintenance of composite materials. If you’re interested in learning more, visit zuri.royalbuildingproducts.com.

Make relaxation a top priority

Home is where the heart is, right? So

it makes perfect sense to make it into a space where self-care is a priority. That’s why wellness and mindfulness have become huge influences in interior and exterior spaces, Swint says. To turn your backyard into a retreat, consider amenities like water features, zen gardens or even a shaded reading nook.

Reframe the possibilities of your shed

Garages and sheds can be more than a storage space. These four walls hold many other possibilities, and homeowners have come up with creative uses for these simple backyard structures. The options are only limited by your imagination: backyard bar, outdoor shower, or the classic she-shed or man cave. You can even make it into a home office. To dress up a plain shed, Swint says, add siding with complementary trim, windows (and flower boxes), finished with a sleek glass door.

Now that you have plenty of inspiration to transform your home’s exterior into a more inviting space, explore your options and visit royalbuildingproducts. com.

4. Wallpaper

Cue the ’70s music. Wallpaper was in, then out, and now it is certainly back in.

Wallpaper is a way to add texture, color and pattern to nearly any space.

5 simple ways to

BRING MORE COLOR TO YOUR HOME

(BPT) - When you look at your home’s interiors, do you find yourself craving a refresh? If so, there’s no better time than the New Year to update your home with thoughtful design touches that embrace the power of color.

Color is a key component of interior design and a useful tool for updating any space. What’s more, colors can convey many emotions - from calm to energetic - helping you create rooms that are per14

Home & Garden

fectly reflective of your personal tastes.

Even though the possibilities are endless, color can be intimidating. While you may like the use of color when you see it online, in magazines or other people’s homes, the uncertainty about how to incorporate it into your own home may hold you back. Fortunately, a few simple expert tips and tricks will have you using color like a pro in no time.

Lifestyle expert and EasyCare Paint Brand Ambassador Camille Styles knows the power of color in transforming spaces from bland to beautiful. She uses color throughout her home to create rooms that are stylish and unique and you too can transform your favorite spaces by using her top tips to bring color into your home:

Paint an accent wall

An accent wall commands attention and creates depth in the space, becoming the focal point of the room. The color you choose can be any hue that’s different from the other walls in the room. Whether it’s slightly different or drastically different is up to you.

“I’m really into EasyCare Paint’s French Coast color,” says Styles. “Its strong blue hue makes a bold statement without being too harsh or overpowering.”

Add a rug

Transform a room in an instant with a vibrant rug. It will add the perfect touch of color and can even be changed out seasonally to bring new hues into the space. A rug with a bright color or pattern can help create the illusion of more space so don’t be afraid to use one in a smaller room to open it up and make it more inviting.

Start small

Many people are timid about color, so you can start small and incorporate a new, bold tone with items like a coffee table accessory or oversized pillows.

You may find that your choice quickly becomes a favorite piece in your home, plus you’ll gain the confidence to add more color to other rooms, too.

Introduce textures

Bringing in different colors and textures, such as a plush throw blanket or a woven basket, takes your space up a notch and adds another visual layer.

Since these aren’t permanent fixtures in the room, they offer an easy way to play around with colors to see what works best in the space.

Embrace the unexpected

Bring in a bold pop of color by doing something unexpected, like painting the trim instead of the wall.

“Black can take a room up a notch with its rich tone. “EasyCare Paint’s Crow color will really wow your guests whenever you entertain,” says Styles.

Whether you’re looking to do a quick update or a complete interior design overhaul, color makes a room more dynamic and energized. From simple d√©cor pieces to bolder accent walls, bringing color into your home is a great way to refresh in the New Year.

3 REASONS TO HIRE A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER immediately when they walk in to a home if a professional did the work or if the homeowner did it themselves.

Painting of Boulder and Fort Collins can give you three good reasons.

Misty Kaiser, Times-Call Home & Garden

When it comes to ways to refresh your home and decor, a brand new coat of paint is at the top of the list.

While most homeowners may think of painting as a DIY project, they might benefit from hiring a pro for the job.

Why? Alex Miller, owner of Five Star

1) QUALITY Your home deserves a professional paint job. It’s the easiest way to make your home look fantastic and it’s also a necessity to protect your largest financial investment.

Professional painters, like our painters at Five Star Painting, do this for a career. There are techniques, products and equipment that we use that the average homeowner will not be able to duplicate. Most people can tell

2) TIMING When you hire a professional, most jobs in this area will be completed within a few days. Sure, you could paint your master bedroom by yourself, but is that the best use of your time for the next three weekends? Wouldn’t you rather spend time with your family, hiking or doing literally anything other than painting? Don’t be inconvenienced longer than you have to; let a pro get in there and get the job done in a timely manner. At Five Star Painting, we have systems in place to increase efficiency and minimize the time it takes to complete the project.

3) SAFETY Professional painters have the equipment and experience needed to do the job safely. You don’t want to try painting the fascia on your home 35 ft. in the air with a paintbrush.

Also, a true professional paint will have workers comp AND general liability insurance (ask to see a copy of both policies). This is extremely important for you as a homeowner in the unlikely, but costly, event that something goes wrong. The painter is taking on that risk, not you as the homeowner.

If you’re planning on refreshing your home with a fresh coat of paint, give Five Star Painting a call at 303-6225435 or visit fivestarpainting.com/ boulder/.

3 tips to make your bathroom more

INVITING AND FUNCTIONAL (BPT) - We tend to think of the bathroom as a utilitarian space not worthy of the same energy and expense put into designing spaces like the living room or kitchen. However, it’s the room where we start and set intentions for our day. In the evening, the bathroom is where we go to unwind - some people prefer soaking in a bubble bath while others take a hot shower to relax after a long day.

How a bathroom is designed can dramatically affect your experience.

Consider improving your daily ritual with these three upgrading tips.

Design with ergonomics in mind

Ergonomics is the process of designing and arranging spaces so that they fit with the people who use them. When making upgrades to your bathroom, it’s important to think through how you use the space. A functional design for someone else could be inconvenient for you.

Bathroom storage tends to be treated as one-size-fits-all. Many bathrooms have a vanity with deep cabinets. People with this basic storage solution are forced to

Bring technology into the bathroom

use small containers to organize their products and often have to rummage around to find what they need.

An ergonomic bathroom considers which items you use most frequently, and keeps those items accessible. Consider adding a medicine cabinet to your bathroom to keep smaller products on hand. A vanity that offers a top drawer allows you to store everyday items, like a hair brush or toothpaste, up higher than a storage cabinet would, meaning you wouldn’t have to bend down as often.

OF LONGMONT / Boulder

Find the best solutions through personalized designs

The way that your bathroom is set up and how you use it are unique. It’s often difficult to find an off-the-shelf solution that gives you exactly what you want.

Consider a solution instead that is customizable to your needs. Whether you’re working with a difficult bathroom layout or you feel limited by space constraints, modular designs help ensure you are able to meet your storage needs.

Technology plays a big role in most people’s lives, so it’s no surprise that it has started to pop up in bathroom designs, too. Consider how technology can simplify your daily routine. For example, defogging technology can be built into the vanity mirror to allow one person to shower while another is using the mirror.

If you have products that need to be charged, like an electric toothbrush or razor, consider installing USB ports inside the medicine cabinet to ensure your go-to items are always ready to use.

Technology can bring entertainment into the bathroom as well. If you like to start off the day with some energetic music or unwind in the bath listening to your favorite podcast, Bluetooth can be the perfect way to add entertainment without sacrificing counter space.

The bathroom plays an important role in your day-to-day life. Use these tips to design a functional space that best fits your needs and find more ideas for bathroom upgrades at robern.com.

Jumped on the Marie Kondo

DECLUTTERING BANDWAGON? Here’s why you might have regrets.

By Alison Bowen, Chicago Tribune (TNS)

S

o you’ve tossed a bunch of stuff after watching a series of episodes from Marie Kondo’s Netflix special.

Those extra shirts, the duplicated kitchen appliances, that blue wig you’re not sure why you had in the first place.

But it’s possible that a few short weeks later, the regret is already starting to kick in.

We could think of many of our own examples of throwing things out we later wish we’d kept — letters from an ex-boyfriend, a part to an Instant Pot unrecognized as being a part to an Instant Pot, maps from travels we could’ve framed. And yes, one of our children wanted to wear that blue wig for crazy hair day.

Perhaps lost in the conversation of the amount of joy sparked by decluttering is the very real regret many people feel after losing items forever.

The regret of tossing things is just as much an emotion as sparked joy, said Joseph Ferrari, a professor of general psychology and community psychology at DePaul University.

“Regret focuses on a variety of domains — jobs I didn’t take, relationships I had, things I got rid of,” he said. “Regret is also an emotion. It’s more of a depressive.”

We build relationships with items, he said, and when we get rid of them too quickly, it can result in negative or depressive feelings like regret.

For this reason, he suggests not immediately purging. Instead, stop and think about what you have.

“Don’t jump in and get rid of it right away,” he said. “Sort, strategize and then purge.”

Ferrari said the recommendations of decluttering experts he has worked with are not necessarily what Kondo suggests. For example, she says to hold the object and see if it sparks joy.

But he suggests the opposite. Don’t hold items, because touching something makes you want to keep it.

“There’s this attachment of the fond memories,” he said. “Get a friend to come and hold the items, to say, ‘Do you want this?”

And consider the following: Could you buy it again? That pair of pants likely exists elsewhere, in a worst-case scenario of clothing regret. As far as more personal items, he said, many decluttering experts feel kindly toward keeping them.

“If it is sentimental, then hold on to it,” he said.

For items like appliances — or that part of the Instant Pot — those are likely things you can purchase again. The sentimental ones — the letters, the vacation mementos — are things that might be harder to replace.

Consider donating an item, so it goes to a good cause.

Or give it to a family member, who might appreciate it. Plus, you’ll still have access to the item.

“Give it to a relative that might be happy with it, and you’ll be able to see their joy,” he said.

YOU’VE CONSIDERED YOUR OPTIONS, carefully gone through your things and you’ve decided there’s plenty of things that you can live without. What now? Committing to a full-scale declutter can leave you with a mountain of stuff to get rid of.

Whether you want to donate it, recycle it, or just dispose of it, there’s time and effort involved. Rather than taking time out of your busy schedule, try calling 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. They’ll handle removing and dividing your junk and ensuring it all goes to the right place and all you have to do is make the call. Pricing is all-inclusive and up-front, so you’ll know before you commit.

RESTORING YOUR JOY

A restored leather couch vs. what it looked like before, below. (Courtesy Leatherman Restorations)

Misty Kaiser, Times-Call Home & Garden Sometimes simplifying your home can mean taking the things you already own and breathing a little new life into them.

The benefit is two fold: One you save money and two, possessions that once brought you joy can do so again.

There are two ways to look at the idea of restoration or renewal; restoring a

March 17, 2019

valued item to its original state, or renewing value by updating its look. Here are some ideas for homeowners to restore or renew those things you just can’t get rid of.

Add color

Whether it’s paint, trendy color-washing or a new stain, you have plenty of options to save old, dated wood furniture and turn it into a piece that blends into your decor at the least, or a stylish centerpiece at the most.

If you’re thinking of painting, the chalk paint craze is far from over. In fact, it has branched out from the standard whites, blacks and greys to much more vibrant hues like pink, aqua and yellow available at most home improvement stores. Chalk paint gives painted furniture a modern matte finish and can help dull those strong decorative embelishments that were so popular in furniture of the 70s.

If you prefer to let the grain show through, color washing or staining may be your best bet. These may require more elbow grease depending on the original stain and finish. You’ll likely have to sand and/or strip it using a chemical paint and varnish stripper, but once the work is done, you have the option of color washing, which is a process of thinning latex paint with water and applying a little at a time until you get the desired level of coverage or staining using an oil based stain. Modern stain options can be just as bright and colorful as their semi-opaque counterparts and still show off their wood’s origins.

Reupholster A chair that once belonged to your grandmother might have significant sentimental value, but the cushions have still have seen better days. Reupholstery is a simple solution that will keep that chair in heirloom condition for the next generation. Choose a completely different fabric, or something in keeping with

Times-Call – TimesCall.com

the originaly style. A professional, like S & S Upholstery in Longmont, can help restore furniture to its former glory by refinishing and reupholstering to your taste.

What about the leather?

When you bought that leather couch, you thought it would last somewhere close to a lifetime. Then you found out, leather has its own set of issues. It gets scratched, dirty or faded. It ages, it sags and just starts to look tired and it seems like there’s nothing to do but chuck it and start over. Fortunately, that’s not the case. Letherman Restorations out of Denver specializes in restoring leather furniture. Their expert team cleans stains, repairs scratches and tears and even restuffs sagging cushions so you get the life out of your leather furniture that you’d hoped for.

Restoring leather furniture yourself isn’t the best idea and can leave you worse off than when you started, so call the pros right off the bat.
