March! Just when you feel like you’re out of patience for snow and cold and ice and early darkness, it’s time to turn the page on the calendar and we’re one month closer to the promise of Spring. In my opinion, it can’t come soon enough.

Syracuse NY, Edition

Real estate transactions typically begin to pick up at this time of the year. For those thinking of entering the market, there are a number of steps you can take now to prepare yourself and your home. Begin researching which agency/agent you’d like to list your home. Ask for references from friends and family, pay attention to who is actively marketing, check online reviews. The agent you select will help you determine what your house is worth on today’s market and will Khale R. Davison walk you through the entire selling process.

Since you’re still indoors much of the time anyway, start the decluttering & de- 315-338-5692 • Khale@lifeandhomes.com personalizing process. Every buyer will be paying attention to how much storage a home offers. Half empty your closets. Get rid of, or pack up, anything you aren’t currently using and organize what’s left. Removing excess items makes even small closets appear bigger. Put personal items, i.e. collections, keepsakes, family photos, away to help potential buyers visualize the space as their own. Arrange the furniture to maximize the use of space and remove oversized pieces that can make a room feel small.

THIS WEEKEND‘S

OPEN HOUSES

Beware of the tendency to “over-upgrade”, caution the experts at HGTV. “Quick fixes before selling always pay off. Mammoth makeovers, not so much. You probably won’t get your money back if you do a huge improvement project before you put your house on the market. Instead, do updates that will pay off and get you top dollar. Get a new fresh coat of paint on the walls. Clean the curtains or go buy some inexpensive new ones. Replace LifeandHomes.com/SYR-NY - Open House Info updated every Friday @ 4:30 door handles, cabinet hardware, make sure closet doors are on track, fix leaky faucets and clean the grout.”

Pocket Doors Offer Accessibility in Every Home Did you know that the smallest room in your home can be the most dangerous?

Every year 235,000 adults seek emergency care for injuries sustained in bathrooms from falls and other accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Fortunately, many mishaps are avoidable by just changing your interior doors. With smooth-operating pocket door frame hardware, everyone can enjoy safe, effortless room access. Space-saving pocket doors also enrich living by providing more usable space and enduring functionality and they eliminate the temptation to grasp doorknobs for support, too.

Licensed builder and NARI-certified remodeler, Gary Grabowski of Greater Home Services LLC, asserts that Johnson Hardware is changing the way people view pocket doors and encouraging installation for enhanced access, safety, space savings and aesthetics.

Johnson’s quiet, smooth-operating pocket door hardware makes doors so effortless to operate, people can slide them using their fingertip.

Easy-to-use privacy locks are also available.

Pocket doors let contractors create streamlined looks by allowing single or converging sliding doors to vanish into wall recesses. “When people picture pocket doors, they may recall sliding doors from decades ago that jammed,

newsShorts

had worn rollers, and came off their track.” says Grabowski. “Pocket Door Hardware Systems optimize accessibility and safety for everybody, whether they’re relying on walkers and grab-rails or have no mobility challenges.”

Johnson Hardware is rigorously tested to meet ANSI (American National Standards Institute) quality standards. All parts are made in the USA. For more information, visit www.johnsonhardware.com, or call 800-387-5664 (BPT)

Tips To Stay Warm And Reduce Energy Costs There’s no doubt that heating and cooling your home is the largest energy expense in your home. In fact, according to the Department of Energy, heating and cooling accounts for about 56 percent of the energy used in a typical U.S. home, which makes efforts to reduce energy costs that much more important.

The experts at the York brand of heating and air conditioning recommend the following: • Perform regular maintenance. Clean air filters, seal any duct leaks, make sure registers are clear of obstructions and check your insulation. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that improper insulation can reduce system efficiency by as much as 30 percent.

• Hire a qualified technician to inspect and service your home comfort system. The technician will make sure your system is working properly and at peak efficiency. As a rule of thumb, heat pumps and oil-fired furnaces need annual tune-ups, while gas-fired equipment can be serviced every other year.

• Consider replacing an older, inefficient furnace or heat pump. A knowledgeable technician will be able to recommend a new, more efficient replacement system, such as ENERGY STAR®− qualified equipment that can help save you money on energy bills.

Efficiency is measured as annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) for furnaces and heating seasonal performance factor (HSPF) for heat pumps.

The higher the AFUE or HSPF, the more efficient the unit and the less energy it requires to heat your home.

• Adjust your thermostat. By lowering it just a few degrees in cooler temperatures, you can help your heating system work less to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.

• Think about installing a programmable thermostat. Programming your thermostat to accommodate your family’s time away from home and sleeping schedule will help to ensure that your system is operating only when you need it.

• Learn more. To learn more about efficient products that can help you conserve energy and save money, or to find a heating and cooling contractor near you, visit www.york.com. (NAPSI)

Success tips for DIY

painting projects

If you plan to paint this year, here are some tips to help prepare you for success.

Choose colors with confidence - To help choose the perfect color for your space, take advantage of the easy-to-use color selection tools available to help you find and try colors before you paint. Homeowners can use the online Color Visualizer, for example, to virtually paint a space and try on different color combinations.

Find color inspiration - More than half of DIYers (56 percent) say they look to nature for color inspiration, while more than a third (36 percent) take their color cues from Pinterest images.

For added color inspiration, consider the 2015 Sherwin-Williams color of the year: Coral Reef.

“A mix of pink, orange and red, Sherwin-Williams Coral Reef embodies the approach to design that we’re seeing for the coming year,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. For a more relaxed look, it can also be paired with earthy neutral colors such as slate grays, medium-brown wood tones such as driftwood, and metallic finishes to complement its garden hue.

Select the right finish - For durability and washability, choose a semi-gloss paint.

Semi-gloss is a good option for areas such as bathrooms and kitchens, as well as trim. For high-traffic areas, like a hallway or a kid’s

newsShorts

bedroom, satin and egg-shell paints are preferred.

High gloss paints are also extremely durable and easy to clean, making them perfect for windows, doors and trim. For spaces that have something to hide, a flat finish will work to your advantage.

Paint your space in the correct order - Start with the ceiling, followed by the walls. If two coats of paint are needed, finish both coats before moving to the next step. Then, paint the windows from top to bottom. After the windows, paint the baseboards, trim and doorframe. Finally, paint the door. Following this order will help ensure a smoother painting process and will require fewer cleanups. For more help in planning your next painting project, visit your local Sherwin-Williams store or www.sherwin-williams.com. (BPT)

Layering Design Tips Layering unique patterns and textures in the home is a quickly growing trend.

Keep your space harmonized, yet distinct, with these tips: Fancy frames. If the room is small, expand your space with a mirror collage featuring a variety of shapes and varnishes. Showcase a favorite print in a large frame for a beautiful living room backdrop. A variety of frames in different finishes and styles create a “living room gallery” display.

Transitional design. For a distinct kitchen environment, combine the artisan feel with

sophisticated technology. The Artesso collection

by Brizo works in both contemporary and traditional kitchens. The single-handle pull-down faucet offers SmartTouch Technology, which allows users to activate the flow of water with a simple touch anywhere on the spout, hub or handle.

Pillow patterns. While it’s fun to mix and match, certain textures complement each other better than others. For example, linens and wool tend to look better with woven fabrics while shiny and matte fabrics are best kept separate. Mixing contrasting textures such as silk and corduroy calls for a strong sense of design confidence.

Rugs on rugs. Fashion and interior designers use layering to make a statement. Start with a flat, neutral rug as your foundation and add a smaller, accent rug on top. Investing in a large rug with a subdued color is smart, but have fun with the accent rug. Choose a similar color scheme and play with the positioning by placing the top rug at a purposeful angle.

Old, renewed. Design inspiration can be found anywhere. Look for antique candle holders or paperweights. Check out antique shop, thrift stores, flea markets and local art fairs. No matter where you travel, keep an eye out for timeworn treasures for your home.

Layering textures and patterns, combining modern with rustic – blending home design can result in a truly transformative space that captures your individual style. For additional information on the Artesso collection, or to learn about the Brizo brand, visit www.brizo.com. (BPT)
