Swim Into Summer With Your South Shore Specialist Tiff’s Tips!

One of the biggest buyer trends I have seen in the past few years, aside from home offices, is swimming pools. Swimming pools have been in very high demand and can add great value to a home.

At the same time there are costs – building costs, maintenance costs, supplies, and insurance to name a few. Before buying a home with a swimming pool, or adding a pool to your current home, make sure to consider these costs. Having a professional pool inspector do an inspection can help you determine some of these costs. Check out these great homes with swimming pools that I helped my buyers purchase. If you are interested in obtaining more information about available homes with swimming pools, or looking to add a swimming pool to your current home, feel free to call me at 516.410.6671.

Porch Perfect Creating the perfect porch oasis

I

By Sharon Naylor f you’re lucky enough to have a front porch — whether it is a small section next to your door or a grand wraparound style — your next decorating project could be a makeover of this space. Before, your family and friends simply passed through your porch area, now you can all gather there in comfy chairs, sipping thirst-quenching drinks and whiling away the evening in a relaxing style.

Bohnne Jones, owner of Decorating Den Interiors, says, “As one of today’s home decorating trends is to ‘bring the outside in and the inside out,’ this makes a front porch cozy and inviting.”

From lamps to carpets to curtains, decor items that were once the domain of inside living spaces now find a place in outside design.

Before you begin your porch decor process, first take some time to repair any loose railings or floorboards. You want your space to be safe and sturdy before decorating. You might wish to paint your porch wall a fresh, new color that matches or coordinates with your house color and works with your porch space’s theme —Southwestern, coastal, Victorian and so on. You might choose a neutral sage green, a sunny yellow or another hue that fits your overall plan for the space.

With your porch’s raw space ready, here are the top ways to makeover this area: Give furniture a spin. Rather than have sofas and chairs lined up against the back wall facing outward, rearrange them in an L-shape or face-to-face placement that facilitates conversation.

Jones says, “Four chairs can be a more flexible selection than a sofa,” because chairs can be moved around more easily and you can create two separate sitting areas.

Lay a carpet. Turn your porch space into an outdoor “room” by having an outdoor carpet made of material that is resistant to water and mold. You’re not stuck with AstroTurf or sisal rugs; home decor stores offer outside carpets in decorative patterns and colors. Jones suggests carpets made of 100 percent poly-acrylic yarns, 100 percent polypropylene or olefin, to name a few. Jones says that these carpets are easily hosed off for cleaning. The result is a space-

defining foundation that’s comfier to walk on than bare-wood floors.

Provide pillows. Setting fluffy pillows and cushions on your chairs and sofas instantly adds comfort and coziness to the space. Shop your home decor store and catalogs for pretty pillow designs in outdoor-friendly materials that also resist mold growth. Choose a small, lumbar-support, outdoor pillow for rocking chairs as well. Pet owners might also set out a dog bed made of outdoor-material, so that Fido can hang out on the porch in comfort.

Light it up. Outside lighting is on trend these days, you’ll find outdoor lamps that look very much like tabletop indoor lamps, only they’re safe to use outdoors and are often battery-powered. Place one on an end table to glow alongside citronella candles in safe decanters placed around your space.

Go green. Adding green and flowering plants to your porch sitting area is one of the easiest decor tasks possible. You can place large or groups of tall containers on the porch floor,

lineup potted plants on a baker’s rack or outdoor shelving unit you’ve set in your space, or hang flowering planters from your porch roof.

If your railing is wide and secure enough, you might install window boxes to fill with spring and summer flowers and greenery to surround your new socializing or relaxation haven. One design concept is to put all green plants in railing boxes and planters, which adds a great range of dark and light green colors to a “green room” theme.

Hang curtains. Install a curtain rod, or use powerful springform curtain rods, to hang colorful or neutral-shaded curtains. This will provide some privacy and add extra visual interest to your porch space. Jones reminds you to be sure that the curtain material, thread and hardware, are made for the outdoors. “Cotton fabric and thread will rot when out in the elements,” says Jones. Lighter fabrics can dance in the breeze, and you can even switch out to new patterns of curtains when fall approaches.

A pretty porch invites guests to visit.

Working with Karla was a great experience! In addition to really knowing her stuff, she's a caring and compassionate person who goes above and beyond for her clients. We faced the huge task of emptying out the home of a relative and getting it ready to sell, and Karla's ongoing advice and (literal) hands-on support enabled us to stay on track and get it done. Most importantly, her judgement was spot-on when it came to pricing the house; we had numerous offers and results were beyond our expectations. From start to finish we really enjoyed working with Karla, who is lots of fun in addition to being a smart, savvy professional. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Karla was outstanding throughout the process of purchasing our property in Long Beach. From the start, she was professional in her handling of the offers. Karla was always accessible and clear in her communications as we approached the closing date. While we have worked with many realtors in the past, Karla went above and beyond in making the sale in a personal way. We would highly recommend her to friends and family.
