Just a few weeks ago we had the privilege of touring brand new, custom built houses, including a spacious Colonial and a well built side-by-side duplex. Each was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully laid out.

As we prepared this issue, I found myself taking notice of the incredible variety of living options available in our area. Cape Cod, Ranch, Farmhouse, Loft, Duplex, Condo, Investment Properties and Apartment buildings, to name just a few. There truly is “something for everyone” in nearly every style and price range.

Impress Holiday Guests With A

Stylish Home Refresh If you have guests coming for the holidays, there’s still time to whip your home into shape with smart buys and DIY projects that can instantly turn routine guest areas into stylish, inviting spaces.

Bath Savvy Refresh your vanity: In small spaces like guest bathrooms, simple changes can make a big impact.

Easy swaps of hardware and fixtures may be all you need to set the stage for an eye-popping makeover. Swap out your faucet, fixtures and hardware with champagne bronze or aged brass materials for a timeless look, and then contrast with a fresh coat of paint. If you’re unsure about trying new colors, form a neutral backdrop with creamy wall paint like Valspar Signature Irish Cream along with porcelain tile and a quartz countertop, allowing your fixtures to pop. Don’t be intimidated if you’re doing it yourself. Countertops, like allen+ roth’s quartz vanity top, come ready to install with predrilled faucet holes and attached undermount sinks.

Squeaky clean: Showers and toilets impact more than just the functionality of your bathroom— they can also add an element of sophistication.

To add privacy and style, look first at the shower enclosure. A coated glass panel door will obscure views without blocking light. Got a tub? A new shower curtain and matching accessories will do the trick. For a time-saving upgrade that guests will love, install American Standard’s new ActiClean self-cleaning toilet, available at Lowe’s. This new toilet takes the stress out of hosting guests by removing stains from inside the bowl while cleaning more than twice the amount of dirt than conventional toilets.

newsShorts Finishing touches: Did you know you can install a dimmer switch in less than an hour? Give your bath a warm glow while helping overnight guests easily locate the bathroom during their stay. Finally, help guests find everything they need, and keep them out of your cabinets, with a basket packed with soaps, shampoos, scrubs and more.

New Life For Your Living Room Color your mood: Warm spaces and soft textures beckon guests to relax during the holidays. To make your living room inviting, try a winterinspired paint color like dusty rose, deep purples or frosty gray that draw inspiration from powdery snow and cashmere sweaters. Complement paint with soft lighting by adding a pair of wallmount arm sconces that can easily be installed with a cordless drill and basic hand tools.

Fresh flooring: Give your space a face-lift with floating laminate floors. These floors have the same great look as hardwood and are easy to install (see step-by-step instructions at Lowes.com).

You won’t even need adhesive, nails or staples.

For an instant new look, select an area rug by playing with shapes, colors and pattern to pull your room together. To determine which size rug is best for your living room, lay a bedsheet folded to that size on the floor, so you can get an idea of the area it will cover.

Spread holiday cheer: Find the focal point in your living room and decorate around it, like framing a fireplace with pre-lit Christmas trees or draping the mantel with garland. Add soft lighting by placing LED candles around the room—you don’t have to light them, blow them out or worry about dripping wax. Complete the look by adding minitreesand a sparkling wreath to create a festive feel. For more ideas for getting your home ready for the holidays, visit www.Lowes.com. (NAPSI)

Carbon Monoxide

Danger

Each year, an average of 430 Americans die from unintentional carbon monoxide poisoning, and there are more than 20,000 visits to the emergency room with more than 4,000 hospitalizations.

Carbon monoxide-related deaths are highest during colder months. These deaths are likely due to increased use of gas-powered furnaces and alternative heating, cooking, and power sources used inappropriately indoors during power outages.

Never use a generator, grill, camp stove or other gasoline, propane, natural gas or charcoal- burning devices inside a home, garage, basement, crawlspace or any partially enclosed area. Locate unit away from doors, windows and vents that could allow carbon monoxide to come indoors.

Keep these devices at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents.

The primary hazards to avoid when using alternate sources for electricity, heating or cooking are carbon monoxide poisoning, electric shock and fire.

Install carbon monoxide alarms in central locations on every level of your home and outside sleeping areas to provide early warning of accumulating carbon monoxide.

If the carbon monoxide alarm sounds, move quickly to a fresh air location outdoors or by an open window or door.

Signs and symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include: Dull headache, Weakness, Dizziness, Nausea or vomiting, Shortness of breath, Confusion, Blurred vision, Loss of consciousness.

Call for help from the fresh air location and remain there until emergency personnel arrive to assist you. (ready.gov) December

What Makes a Great Buyer’s Agent?

A great way to identify a great agent is by their listening skills!

A great agent always listens to the needs and wants of a buyer.

A great Buyer’s Agent is patient and not pushy.

One who will explain the process more than once if needed.

They put your best interest at heart.

They will keep you informed every step of the way!

5 STARS FOR Stephen Kantz!!!! This is an agent with some real common sense and zeal. He has a great attitude, while also being very nice and friendly. He has a great amount of experience and education, but more than that he is just real. I like how well he knows his local and surrounding communities. He is very on the ball too, getting back to you very fast with updates and always answering his phone. Buying and selling can be difficult, and with a teammate like him on your side it is so much more seamless. I am excited to finally have the whole process behind me, and a new friend. Thank You Stephen Kantz! - Mark R
