ASK EDITH

Deed change unnecessary until the house is sold

‌D

ear Edith: My husband died last June.

When I asked my lawyer about removing his name from the deed, which is in both our names, he said that isn’t necessary.

Is there any downside to leaving the deed as it is when I sell the house or my son sells it? — E. B. Answer: No problem at all. When the house is sold, someone will do a legal search of the EDITH title — the LANK history of ownership.

It’ll be done last-minute, at the closing. It will, we assume, show that you’re the sole owner. And by the way, you’ll pay for it.

8 Percent

Edith: I read your piece re the 83-year-old aunt who wants to defer paying her property taxes. In Texas, over-65 property owners can defer the property taxes on their homestead until they sell the home, or pass with no penalties and simple interest at 5 percent. When it comes to seniors, Texas is a very protective state. — D. S., CPA Answer: Thanks for the information. I must say, though, that 5 percent interest doesn’t sound all that simple to me.

Missing Abstract

Dear Edith: Our grandfather is quite old. We have talked to him about rounding up personal papers and documents that will be needed if he has to sell his house or when he dies. We have most things, including a deed. He bought the house 30 to 35 years ago.

We are unable to find an

a legally acceptable reason — you could be liable for damages. You might even face a lawsuit — unique to real estate — that calls for specific performance. The concept of specific performance (of the existing contract) is based on the fact that each parcel of real estate is different. Thus, money damages may not adequately compensate the buyers if they want to go ahead with the purchase of your specific house. They might go to court to force you to fulfill the existing contract.

Even if the buyers are agreeable to dropping their claim, remember that your real estate broker, having performed the services for which he or she was hired, is entitled to collect a full commission. The broker may press a claim to collect it, or might waive it in favor of your goodwill and the Failing Deal hope of future business.

Dear Ms. Lank: I was At the least, of course, all set to move out of state the buyers are entitled for a new job. We sold our house — at least, we have a to prompt return of their signed contract.

abstract. He thinks it may have been thrown out several years ago. Is there any way to get a copy, and from whom or where? Thank you for your help. — W. E. H. Answer: An abstract is the written legal history of a parcel of land.

You needn’t be concerned about not having one for your grandfather’s house.

Many homeowners don’t have them, and they’re not always necessary when a house is sold.

If one is needed at that time, it would have to be brought up to date anyhow, so you’d have that expense.

Don’t worry about it. The closing agent — whoever handles real estate closings in your area — will take care of ordering one if it’s needed, and include it in your closing costs.

New bar faucet features

D

ear Ed: I’m building a wet bar in my basement and would like a bar faucet with a lot of options so I can multitask when I am behind the bar. I also want to wash glasses at the bar. Do they make bar faucets with pullout spray heads?

- Tim, Michigan Answer: In many cases, a bar faucet can look like a mini-kitchen faucet. This means bar faucet features can include options like one-handle operation and a pullout spray head.

Some manufacturers even offer “faucet families”—basically a standard kitchen faucet sold with an exED DEL act copy of a smaller bar GRANDE faucet. This way if you have an island sink in the kitchen, the bar faucet and kitchen faucet perfectly match.

Remember, standard bar sinks are smaller than standard kitchen sinks. This can restrict work space when washing dishes.

So, I recommend finding a pullout bar faucet with a pause feature on the spray head. Remember, it’s called a bar faucet for a reason, and a little extra water flow control can help you use it responsibly.

10 ways to make the most of shelves

‌W

hen most people think of shelves, perhaps kitchen and bathrooms come to mind, a ledge to merely temporarily place something in the CATHY course of a HOBBS daily routine. Instead, consider using shelves and shelving as a decorative area to help add interest and pizzazz. From metal to colors and even shelving of various lengths, here are some tips for how to incorporate shelves into your existing decor.

1. Consider untraditional elements such as metal shelves, especially if you are seeking a modern and minimal look and feel.

2. Mix and match. Mixing shelves of different

lengths and even colors can add interest.

3. Add elements such as framed photography, greenery and accents.

Shelves don’t just have to be for books.

4. Consider built-in shelves. While an excessive amount of built-ins can be a turnoff, thoughtful and creative placement can be both purposeful and impactful.

5. Consider black or white shelving, depending on your wall color. The contrast can act as an interesting design element.

6. Incorporate shelves in entertainment areas such as dining and living rooms where shelves can display treasured mementos, family photos or memorabilia.

7. Consider using shelves

on long walls as an alternative to traditional artwork.

8. Mix shelves with artwork. Often artwork can help to create a sense of balance.

9. Consider placing shelves in a room that may need extra surfaces such as a child’s room or crafting space.

10. Place shelves in a useful area such as near an entry or mudroom.

HOME ADVISOR

Home upgrades to make you feel lucky ‌W

ith Saint Patrick’s Day just around the corner, you might be wondering how to add a bit of luck to your life. And while leprechauns, shamrocks and pots of gold are good options for the holiday, there are also JENNA SCHUSTER plenty of home upgrades you can make to create your own luck all year long.

From stain-repelling furniture to robot lawn mowers, these improvements will leave you feeling lucky every day!

Quiet cabinets and doors

Accidentally slamming a cabinet door and waking the whole household can feel like the worst stroke of luck. But if you have old-fashioned cabinets, this situation can be hard to avoid. To help your family sleep more soundly, have a pro install soft-closing cabinet and door hinges in your home. These hinges stop your swinging door right before it smacks the edge of the frame, so they’re virtually noiseless! Another benefit?

You’ll never slam your fingers in the door again.

Stain-repelling furniture

If you’ve had the misfortune of spilling a drink on your furniture, you know how badly it can stain.

Avoid this, and watch spills roll right off the fabric, by spraying your furniture with stain repellent. Simply spray couches, upholstered chairs, rugs and any other fabric that might easily stain, and let it dry for about a day. Next time you drop a drink, your furniture should repel the liquid. Sounds lucky to us! Just remember to spot test it first— and check manufacturer recommendations.

Time-saving robot lawnmowers Wouldn’t it feel amazing to look outside and find that the lawn has magically been cut overnight? Count yourself

DREAMSTIME‌

lucky—robot lawnmowers are on the market. These devices range in price from about $500 to over $3,000. But after the initial investment, robot lawnmowers promise to save you tons of time mowing in the hot sun.

Not to mention, driving up to your home and smelling freshly cut grass will put you in a good mood every day.

Perfectly-timed coffee Getting up on a Monday

morning can feel anything but lucky. But investing in helpful appliances can make it a little better. Consider getting a coffee maker with a timer so you can wake up to a fresh cup of Joe instead of having to wait for it to brew. All you need to do is load the coffee and set the timer the night before, and the machine will do the rest. If you’re ever running late for work, having coffee ready for you as you race out the door will feel like kismet.

Hands-free sinks

If you’re the chef at home, you know first-hand how messy cooking can be. And if you frequently cook with raw meat or eggs, you also have to worry about proper sanitation.

Avoid contaminating your faucet with germs by installing a touch-sensor kitchen faucet.

With this faucet, all you need is a simple bump of the wrist, elbow – or even nose – and it will turn on the tap. For food

lovers, this is your lucky break.

A plumber or skilled handyman should be able to install this device quickly. Once installed, the faucet should be easy to maintain, only requiring battery changes as needed.

DREAMSTIME‌

A single leaky faucet can easily waste more than 3,000 gallons per year.

Save water around the house

‌W

ater is one of the most important utilities in the home, and one of the easiest to overuse. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates the average home loses 10,000 gallons per PAUL F.P. year to leaks. The POGUE EPA has declared March 18-24 as Fix a Leak Week, but you can improve your home’s water usage any time.

Follow these tips to conserve water around the house and save money while doing your part to use water wisely.

Update your appliances: Older appliances are some of the biggest water-wasters around

the house. Newer toilets use as little as 1.28 gallons per flush.

Older ones, especially those dating before 1992, can waste several gallons with every flush!

Inefficient faucets and showerheads account for as much as 3,000 gallons of loss a year.

And older appliances use quite a bit more water than new ones.

Look for water-based appliances marked with the Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense label or Energy Star designation.

Some municipalities offer free home audits and efficient fixtures free of charge. Check with your local utility company for programs in your area.

Fix leaky pipes and toilets:

Pipes losing water behind the wall can be tricky to detect unless there’s obvious damage. Pay close attention to your water bill.

A jump in water usage from one month to another may indicate a leaky pipe.

If you suspect a leak, check your water meter before and after a two-hour period when no water is being used. If the meter changes at all, you probably have a leak. Call a plumber for assistance.

Even a small leak in your toilet tank can lose significant amounts of water, and you’ll never detect it if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Put a few drops of food coloring in the

tank and let it sit for 10 minutes.

If the coloring bleeds into the bowl, you know water is leaking from tank into the bowl. Quite frequently, the culprit is a wornout rubber flapper that decayed over time. It’s a quick and easy fix to replace them with parts from your local hardware store.

Don’t overlook leaky faucets, either. A faucet that leaks at a rate of one drip per second can waste 3,000 gallons in a year! If you don’t feel confident fixing a faucet yourself, hire a plumber to handle the job.

Update your lifestyle: You can waste a lot of water without even realizing it. Turn off the faucet while you brush your

teeth or shave, and plug up the sink if you do dishes by hand.

Thaw food in the refrigerator overnight rather than use a running tap of hot water.

Make sure you run only full loads in your dishwasher and washing machine, and water your lawn in the morning or evening.

All these swaps can add up. The EPA estimates you can save as much as 38 percent on your water bill by maximizing efficiency!

enough that they do not need painting after all.

Rinse out the interior and exterior of the gutters with a garden hose. Stand up on a ladder to do this so the direction of the water flow is downward, as the rain would flow. This minimizes the amount of water that will get inside the walls.

While you are doing this, note which seams are leaking water. Allow the gutters to dry thoroughly.

Caulk the leaky seams on both the inside and outside of the gutter with paintable caulk and then paint them with a primer. Zinsser Brand, rustoleum.com, has some excellent primers for this purpose. Avoid using a water-based primer, as it may contain ammonia, which can react on pitted spots where the aluminum is bare.

Some people like to let the primer get “good and dry,” but it is best to follow the instructions on the paint can in terms of how long to wait between coats. If the primer is overdried, the finish coat will not adhere as well to the primer as it should.

Follow standard painting procedures concerning the weather. Overly windy days can cause the paint to dry too fast, as can the hot sun. Paint the portions of the gutters that are in the shade. If they face south or west, wait until an overcast day to paint them.

Old discolored gutters can make an entire house look run-down and in poor repair. Often, as it sounds in your situation, you don’t notice how bad they look until a leak forms and you really inspect them.

ear James: My house has old white aluminum gutters. They look terrible, but they leak at just two seams.

Is it possible to seal those leaky seams and paint the aluminum gutter with a fresh white coat? — Rick R. Dear Rick: Old discolored gutters can make an entire house look run-down and in poor repair. Often, as it JAMES sounds in your situation, DULLEY you don’t notice how bad they look until a leak forms and you really inspect them. The deterioration of the appearance progresses too slowly to notice when you see the gutters every day.

If done properly, aluminum gutters can be painted and should hold up for many years. Proper painting involves quite a lot of time to prepare the surface for the new paint. If you rush through the preparation steps, I can guarantee the paint will peel and you will be doing it again a year or two from now.

Bright white gutters look nice, but dirt and discoloration will be more noticeable on them than on darker ones. Choose a color that is slightly darker than the gutters are now in their discolored state. As they discolor over time, which all gutters will to some extent, it will not be as apparent. Also, if a spot does peel later, it will not stand out as it would if they were painted bright white.

The first step is to thoroughly clean the gutters and the downspouts. This is best accomplished with a sponge and a large bucket of soapy water. While you are doing your preliminary washing, you may find spots with peeling paint, which need to be scraped. Avoid using a pressure washer for this, as it can drive water up and into the wall cavity, particularly if your house has siding.

Dishwashing liquid is very effective for cleaning gutters. Commercial cleaner from your hardware store is also a good option. Always use them at the recommended concentrations. After you scrub the gutters, you may find they are good

Orange and yellow tones in artwork help to warm the space. yellow, orange and red; the result can be appealing and cozy.

5. Do use metallics. Brass remains one of the hottest finishes in home decor right now and is a wonderful way to incorporate warmer tones into any room of the home.

DON’T

1. Don’t overwhelm the space with too many warm colors as it may appear to be overly dark or “muddy”; instead sprinkle warm accents throughout a space.

2. Don’t paint ceilings dark, warm colors, this will instantly close in a space and make any space feel smaller. Instead, ceilings should be light and bright, preferably white.

3. Don’t forget accessories. Accessories are an easy and affordable way to infuse warmth into nearly any room.

4. Don’t use too many wood pieces in the same room. Too many will add visual “weight” to a space. Instead, consider mixing heavier wood pieces with those that are lighter such as pieces that are made of glass.

5. Don’t forget to use mirrors. Mirrors are one of best ways to open a space and can serve as a key design element. These days frames also don’t have to be generic in nature. Instead of a frame that is plain, why not use one that is painted in a warm color or finished in a warm tone metallic finish?

LOFTY IDEALS

ART OF DESIGN

‌A

for today’s loft spaces

rtists have always sought out unusual and unexpected places to live, prioritizing cheap rents where they could sell or barter for their works JOSEPH PUBILLONES of art. Up until the 1950s and ‘60s, many works of art were limited in size due to the spaces where they were being painted. Andy Warhol and his “art factory” in New York may have given birth to the idea of the loft. This transformative idea brought larger format works of art and performance art and even served as a new venue for art exhibitions in lieu of galleries.

Lofts and New York go hand in hand. It is hard to imagine any other scenario. Loft implies a certain urban culture that is in opposition to the establishment. Originally, lofts were created out of abandoned manufacturing spaces or warehouses.

Large windows, tall ceilings, cement floors, exposed hvac systems, large freight elevators and industrial lighting fixtures are just some of the typical architectural elements that have become iconic of lofts.

Most every metropolitan city now boasts loft

space, typically in the most creative and alternative neighborhoods. These spaces are proposed by developers and cities alike as a way to revitalize or gentrify blighted or abandoned areas, sometimes even downtown areas. It’s a great way to reuse and rehab buildings without

knocking them down.

In the past couple of years, cities from Miami to Memphis have begun to see condominium towers that play on the tectonics of lofts. Generally, these condos boast some sort of open floor plan with few or no dividing walls, taller ceilings and exposed AC

vents to give one the feeling of being in a loft. Their innate openness makes lofts not really suitable for families or even roommates. These units work best for single occupants and newlyweds or even empty-nesters.

Although the original artist’s lofts were just

appropriate to scale.

Flexibility is one of the biggest benefits. Because of the open floor plan, there are no formal rooms and no hierarchy or transition of rooms. Your bedroom area can actually be a part of your living area.

The beauty of decorating a loft is that there are virtually no rules.

Any style can be brought in: Swedish classicism, Country French, Art Deco Streamline, Contemporary, etc. The furniture will accentuate the style, while the enveloping loft will always reinforce its modern and bohemian roots. Your artistic visions are the only limits to creativity in a loft.

Loft living, once seen as an unconventional lifestyle, has become part of the mainstream. As more and more professions and offices become more mobile, lofts are garnering even more appreciation.

ANTIQUE OR JUNQUE?

Renaissance Revival bed was made in mid-1800s

‌Q

uestion: This is a photo of an antique double bed that has been in our family for several generations. It is in excellent condition. The headboard is 7 feet tall and 63 inches wide, and ANNE the footboard is McCOLLAM 34 inches tall. The headboard has urn-shaped finials on either side, a round burl panel at the top and a rectangular burled wood panel at the footboard. The sides of the frame are beautifully carved and decorated with gold inlays.

I don’t know what kind of wood was used. I hope you can provide more information on the history of our bed.

Answer: Your bed is an example of the Renaissance Revival period of Victorian furniture.

The bed’s urn-shaped finials,

Antique bed made during the Victorian Era. burled wood panels, shallow decorative carving and gold inlay represent mid-19th century

Renaissance Revival furniture.

The Renaissance Revival period’s heavy and extremely decorative furniture is a substyle of the Victorian era and was made either by cabinetmakers or factories from 1865 to 1880. Judging from your photo, your bed is made of walnut.

Your Victorian bed, made circa 1870, would probably fetch $2,500 to $3,500 in an antique shop.

Q: I have a set of china that belonged to my grandmother and have enclosed the mark on each piece. It is a service for eight, plus some extra place settings and serving dishes. Each piece is decorated with multicolored flowers and branches on the border. The plates have scalloped edges, and the set is in excellent condition.

I am not interested in selling

my set, but I am curious as to what it might be worth. I would appreciate any information you can give me.

A: Wood & Son made your dinnerware. Their pottery shop was located in Burslem, England, from 1865 to 2005. Absalom Wood and his son T.F. Wood

Meet Our realtOr ® Of the Week:

founded the pottery in 1865.

They produced semiporcelain dinnerware, decorative ware, teaware and hotelware. Ivory Ware, Beryl Ware, Ivorine Ware, Wood’s Ware and Beryl Ware were some of their trade names.

Ivory Ware was in production beginning in 1930. The company was primarily a family business, until it went into receivership and was bought by the Yorke family. In 1995, it closed its operations. “The Fieldflower” is the name of the pattern.

Your dinnerware service for eight, made circa 1930, would probably be worth $125 to $225.

When it comes to candles, I am obsessed with Kansas City’s own Pickwick Candles.

KATIE LAUGHRIDGE With spring (and hopefully spring weather) just around the corner, I knew I needed to do something to get myself through the home stretch of this snowy season. Selfcare is something we often overlook as life gets busy, but it’s important. To be at our best for our loved ones and ourselves, we need to treat ourselves occasionally, especially when we feel under the weather. Today I want to highlight some of my must-have pick-me-up

Once I am enveloped in the scent of my candle, it’s time for the perfect blanket. That means not only is it as cozy as possible, but it also looks good artfully draped over the sofa or bed. I use a lovely Santorini throw the most frequently.

Bathrooms get cottage charm makeover

‌S

ometimes, I look at photos of homes with large, lovely, almost palatial bathroom spaces, and sigh wistfully. As a lover of historic homes, big bathrooms are not a reality for me, unMARY CAROL less I knock GARRITY out a lot of walls. But I have found that just because your home has little bathrooms doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful. All you need to do is add some touches here and there to give them charm.

When we were designing our little lake cottage, making our petite power room attractive was a fun challenge. I embraced the room’s small scale by making if feel like a snug cocoon, covering the walls in Twilight, one of my favorite Mary Carol Artisan Paints custom colors. On the wall opposite of the vanity (which is a modified antique chest of drawers), I covered the wall in a grid of old book plates, all framed identically, to make a dramatic floor-to-ceiling grid of artwork. (I snagged this entire set at an estate sale.)

If you live in an apartment, where you cannot paint the walls or change out boring bathroom faucets and fixtures, you can easily use artwork to give your walls pizzazz. Walls filled with interesting art give a room an instant custom-designed look. In my friend Nancy’s newly remodeled lake cottage the upstairs bath is stunning, thanks to her creativity.

She spiced up the walls with a collection of artwork, topped the toilet with a sweet tableau and turned an old bamboo music stand into a towel rack.

When Nancy’s builders installed the lighting above

it functioned. We wanted to rehab it in a hurry, so we hit the local hardware store and bought a pedestal sink, toilet and tile for the floor and shower.

The changes were modest and inexpensive, but they really upgraded the look of the bathroom. To give the blah space more personality, I filled the main wall with this cheerful oversized botanical print.

The shower curtain was a custom creation from Nell Hill’s.

My remedy for a stressful day is to take a long soak in a hot bath. So when we renovated our own cottage, I knew I needed to put a little more time and budget into making the master bathroom

more spacious and inviting, my own little spa. My big splurge was turning a beautiful sideboard into a vanity.

Another fast and easy way to add charm to a tiny bathroom is to get creative in how you store your stuff.

I raided my china closet to create this attractive yet functional display. A silver tray holds a glass compote filled with my jewelry. A mug collects my makeup brushes. The space around holds treasures that make me smile, like a photo of Dan. This column was adapted from Mary Carol Garrity’s blog at www.nellhills.com.

She can be reached at marycarol@nellhills.com.

Creative problem solving is essential whenever you renovate a space. Hanging artwork between two vanity mirrors can give your bathroom an added pop.

As a lover of historic homes, big bathrooms are unrealistic.

However, just because your home has little bathrooms doesn’t mean they can’t be beautiful. All you need to do is add some touches here and there to give them charm. the vanity, they cut a few too many holes in the wallboard. To camouflage the mistake, Nancy decided to cover the wall with shiplap.

Creative problem-solving is essential whenever you renovate a space. Note how she hung artwork between the two vanity mirrors.

Love!

One of Nancy’s bathrooms, off the main living space, is pretty small, so Nancy picked a space-sav-

ing pedestal sink. She topped it with an antique mirror, which is so old, the glass is streaked and flawed, which makes Nancy love it all the more.

She did a halo of artwork around the mirror to make the presentation more interesting.

ave you seen your first robin yet?

How about your first grackle or red-winged blackbird? Spring is slowly arriving, as seen in the slow accumulation of signs for the nature observer.

These early-arriving migratory birds will soon be followed by many other neotropical migrants.

JEFF Some robins stayed in the RUGG northern states all winter, but most of them have been moving up from south of the border for the past several weeks. Some birds slowly migrate north across the continent, taking a couple of months from when the first ones arrive until the last ones move in. Some species migrate quickly and cover the thousands of miles in just a few weeks. Usually, the males migrate first to establish territories, and the females come up last when the territorial battles are over.

The next couple of months are the peak time to see many migrating birds in their prime coloration, especially warblers.

These sparrow-sized birds come in every color of the rainbow and actively seek insects from the ground all the way to the treetops.

The best time to look for these birds is when the shrubs and small trees in your area start to leaf out and flower. If you can get out on the local trails, that is the time to do it.

Migratory birds work hard to get the benefit of almost year-round summer.

After raising their young (or being born) in the spring and summer, they leave North America as the cool weather of fall approaches. They enjoy a full summer of tropical weather in South America while we have winter. In other words, they don’t go south for the winter; they go south for more summer. But our summer is coming back, and so are they.

Migration is an incredible journey that we people have a hard time understanding, and the birds do it with a precision that is even more incredible. For several years, I helped with a bird-banding project in the Shawnee National Forest in southern Illinois. Mist nets were placed in the same locations every season. Each bird caught was given an aluminum band with a specific number on it. Most birds

we released were never seen again. Several years in a row, a few nonmigratory birds were caught several times in the spring and fall.

One species in particular that stands out in my mind is the northern waterthrush. They are smaller than a robin but eat insects they find by walking around on the ground the way robins do. They live in wet forested areas. They nest across Canada and may nest as far south as Wisconsin. They spend our winters in the rain forests of South America. On their round-trip journey of thousands of miles, some fly through Illinois. Season after season for years, we caught the exact same bird flying between the same pair of trees in southern Illinois. How they are created to do this is amazing to me. And not only are they that precise to get to the same place; they migrate at night.

So, when robins come to nest on top of your porch light this spring, they very well may be the same ones that did it last year.
