Bathroom remodeling should start at the studs Brandpoint

ceilings and subfloors before you paint, install tile or hang a fancy new mirror can ensure your new bathroom will stand up to everyday splashes, showers and relaxing tub soaks, as well as dreaded mold and mildew that can come from these steamy, wet environments. Anitra Mecadon, host of DIY Network’s “Mega Dens” and spokesperson for National Gypsum, is on a mission to prevent major mold and mildew problems by recommending homeowners start at the studs. Here’s her advice when it comes to the No. 1 room people remodel in their homes - bathrooms:

Remodeling a bathroom can increase the value of your home but short-sighted planning can wash projects down the drain. Some do-it-yourself experts recommend a fresh coat of paint, new tile, a shiny new sink and great cabinets to transform an ordinary bathroom into an extraordinary spa — but that’s just what the eye can see. Yes, your refinished bathroom will look different but will it hold its value? Not unless you think first of what’s behind the paint and tile and consider how to protect it from the greatest threat in a bathroom: moisLook for ideas ture, mold and mildew. Popular upgrades include Upgrading your walls,

decorative tile or stone in the tub and shower areas. You can also consider multiple showerheads or steam enclosures to give your bathroom “spa appeal” without the worry.

Budget and plan • The average cost of a bathroom remodel is around $16,000, so create a budget so you know how much you can comfortably spend. • If you plan to have someone do it for you, get an estimate from a contractor before you start. • Shop on your own, with a contractor or interior designer to select building materials, fixtures and appliances. • Remember that bathrooms require two kinds of

materials to help protect walls and floors: mold- and moisture-resistant drywall for areas behind mirrors, sinks or vanities, and cement board for the critically wet areas, such as tubs and showers.

Be careful • Prepare for a demolition phase to tear out the tub, sink, tile, walls and flooring. • Be careful of pipes, air ducts and electrical wires behind the walls, ceilings and under the floors. • Measure twice, cut once. • You can never be too safe — use appropriate safety gear. Add value with walls and floors • After adding insulation,

install mold- and moistureresistant Purple XP drywall in your bathroom. • The Purple color is easy to spot in the drywall aisle of your local home improvement stores, and provides value and peace of mind that lasts. • For a strong base that stands behind every great finish — like tile, slate or marble — use one of National Gypsum’s PermaBase Cement Board options in critically wet areas around tubs and showers.

Other notes to consider • Ask a friend to help for easier installation. • Fo rg e t t ra d i t i o n a l green board because it’s no longer approved by most building codes.

• Instead, ask for Purple XP drywall to ensure yours is moisture—, mold— and mildew-resistant. • Remember that PermaBase Cement Board provides a hard, durable surface underneath ceramic tile or decorative stone and can withstand prolonged exposure to moisture. • Seal areas around the tub and sink with mildewresistant caulk and grout to discourage discoloration. • Paint walls with mildew-resistant primer and paint, which can cut down on future maintenance. • Add an exhaust fan for additional moisture control.

Overcome common gardening challenges with raised beds sure the soil beneath is not compacted. Dig down 6 to 8 inches to loosen the soil. For both planters and raised beds, create a mixture of topsoil and organic material such as compost or manure. Remember, even with this good, nutrient-rich start, you’ll need to regularly fertilize your garden throughout the growing season.

Brandpoint

Small yards, city dwelling or soil that’s sandy, rocky or full of clay — it seems no obstacles can keep Americans from the joys of gardening. More than 78 million U.S. households grow gardens, according to the Garden Writers Association Foundation, and many of them don’t have optimal conditions to plant their gardens in the ground. When space constraints or soil conditions make traditional gardens impossible or inconvenient, gardeners turn to raised beds and planter boxes to grow the vegetables, herbs and flowers they crave. The Farmer’s Almanac points to many other advantages of raised beds, such as: they can produce a big harvest in a small area, allow you to start planting earlier in the season and make gardening easier overall. If you’ve never gardened in a raised bed, you may be unsure how to begin reaping the benefits of this type of planting. Here is the 101 on growing your own produce in planter boxes or raised beds:

Finding the right spot

Space considerations will influence the location of your raised bed or planter box. You’ll also want to consider how much time you have to invest in your garden. A larger bed will require

Brandpoint

Raised garden beds are a must- have for small yards or city living. more work, but it can also deliver a larger harvest. Ideally, a planter box or raised bed should occupy the sunniest spot available. Avoid areas that get a lot of shade; veggies need a lot of sun in order to grow.

Choosing the right material The material you use to build your planter or raised bed can influence your garden’s overall success. Savvy gardeners often turn to untreated Western Red Cedar when constructing planters or beds. The lumber is naturally rot and weather resistant, so it’s a better choice than manmade products or other types of less impervious woods that may need to be treated with potentially dangerous chemicals

that could leech into the soil. Light and straight, it’s an easy material to work with, and it is more affordable than composites. Western Red Cedar is sustainably harvested, and its harvesting, manufacture and transportation all generate fewer greenhouse emissions than other types of materials - so it’s appealing to the environmentally conscious gardener. To learn more about Western Red Cedar, visit www.realcedar.com.

Right-sizing Your bed or planter should fit the available space and leave plenty of room for you to work the garden without requiring you to step into the bed. Width can range from 2 to 4 feet, and the ideal length is typically 8 to 12 feet. Beds and planters should be at

least 6 inches deep, with 12 inches allowing an optimum depth for good root development.

Preparing the soil If you’re creating a raised bed, you’ll need to en-

Watering, weeding and fertilizing Once plants are growing, you’ll begin to experience some of the conveniences of planter or raised bed gardening. It’s much easier to keep a raised bed or planter garden well watered, properly drained, weeded and fertilized. Caring for plants will require less bending, especially if you’ve opted for a planter that’s a bit higher off the ground. You may find

your garden dries out more quickly in the hot summer sun, but a layer of mulch or hay will help the soil retain moisture.

Harvesting and getting ready for next year

Harvest vegetables, herbs and flowers just as you would from a traditional garden. You may find that working with a planter or raised bed extends your growing season and produces a more bountiful harvest. At the end of the season, prep beds for winter just as you would any other garden. If you’ve built your bed or planter with Western Red Cedar, you won’t need to do anything extra to prepare the structure for winter. Naturally durable Western Red Cedar resists warping and twisting, so your planter and bed will look and function as well next year as it did this year.

The Cadet freestanding tub from American Standard provides a relaxing, stress relieving bathing experience, ideal for decompressing after a long day.

Sink into these top tub trends for the ultimate bathing experience Brandpoint

The tub tucked away in your home’s master bathroom is so much more than a place to get clean. It’s a calming refuge and therapeutic retreat after a busy, high-pressure day. Tub trends indicate that bathtubs are primarily used for soaking, while shower time is mainly for cleansing. The soaking tub has become the destination for relaxation amid today’s fast-paced lifestyles. “The individual soaking tub is very popular, as personal decompression has become a priority with harried consumers,” explains Kalpesh Nanji, director of product marketing - bathing at American Standard. “Our increasingly connected world has made solo relaxation even more appealing to many homeowners, who view a good soak as the ultimate in ‘me-time.’” Preference also are trending away from large whirlpool bathtubs, as overall housing trends gravitate toward smaller, more efficient homes that consume fewer resources. Eco-conscious homeowners appreciate the conservation aspects of smaller soaking tubs, which generally use less water and energy to fill.

For homeowners considering new construction or planning a bathroom remodel, Nanji and the tub experts at American Standard point to these leading tub trends: • Freestanding - Rather than the traditional configuration that nestles a tub into a corner of the room or skirted/alcove tubs that span one end of a bathroom from wall to wall, freestanding tubs are increasingly popular. Designed to be self-supporting, freestanding tubs like American Standard’s Cadet Freestanding Tub can create an elegant, luxurious focal point in any bathroom. Freestanding tubs also lend themselves to deeper bathing wells, providing users with a more satisfying immersion while they soak. • Soaking - While many homeowners still enjoy the relaxing and therapeutic benefits of a whirlpool experience, non-jetted, soaking tubs are appearing more often in new construction and bathroom renovations. The comparative size of whirlpool tubs, which need more room to accommodate jet machinery, may contribute to some homeowners’ preference for smaller, sleeker soaking tubs. Other homeowners appreciate

the greater depth of soaking tubs. • Single-person — More homeowners are opting for single-person tubs, rather than large, two-person units. One reason might be the perception of a soak as a singularly relaxing experience. For many people, tub time is an opportunity to get away from everyone and everything without leaving home. • Tub fillers - Freestanding tub fillers are the perfect accent to stand-alone soaking tubs. With styles ranging from traditional to ultramodern, these tub fillers are generally available to match bathroom sink faucets and shower systems. Most include a convenient hand shower, when cleansing is desired in addition to total relaxation. Installation can be done through both wood and tile floors. Not yet ready to take the plunge and sink your funds into incorporating a new tub into your home improvement plans? Consider this: A tub is a central fixture in any bathroom, and replacing one can play a key role in a great renovation. Plus, Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report indicates that an upscale bathroom remodel returns nearly 64 percent of your investment at the time of resale.

Tips on transforming a dated condo into a hot property Brandpoint

When a New York City family relocated to California, they called celebrity designer and NBC’s American Dream Builders contestant Erinn Valencich to help sell their Manhattan digs. Their condo was in a great location near Manhattan’s famous High Line, but the interior needed a little refreshing. When Valencich first saw the apartment it had stark walls and dark floors. It was a space that would speak to a select clientele — and it felt dated, Valencich says. “My goal was to broaden the appeal to make a quicker sale.” T h e c h a n ge s Va l e n cich made apply nicely to any home refresh project, breathing new design life into a home while still keeping things versatile. She began the transfor-

surrounding walls. She replaced the worn floor with stylish yet versatile White Washed Oak planks from Quick-Step flooring’s Reclaime Collection.

“The light floor really brightens the space and makes it appear larger,” says Valencich. “The tones in the floor support the wall color and together they make a quiet statement allowing

prospective buyers to envision their own furnishings in the home.” Since the family’s favorite furniture had already traveled west, Valencich worked with a local staging company to furnish and accessorize the updated apartment. She chose fabrics that contrasted in both tone and color, such as the linen on the mid-century inspired chairs and the finer weave of the couch. Finally she layered in texture through rugs, pillows and throws. Pops of orange pull the eye through the room and flowers add a fresh flavor to the scheme. Because the main room is long, Valencich decided to create two seating areas — a more formal area for guests and a smaller nook for reading or games. To further the feeling of light and expand

the space, she added oversized mirrors to both the living and dining areas. “You absolutely can’t go wrong with a neutral palette,” says Valencich. “It adds a quiet sophistication to the setting and makes a perfect backdrop for pops of bright colors in either a warm or cool family.” If you’re planning to go neutral for your remodel, Valencich recommends exploring the range of floor colors in the Quick-Step Reclaime Collection. The muted earth tones are a great complement for neutral palettes and the durability and stain resistance of laminate will make the floor a keeper for years to come.

Basement flooded? This device could have shut water off

Timothy D. Hoffman 717-245-9259 PA008224 • Certified Renovator R-I-18349-09-02545

Bandpoint If you think water damage isn’t a real threat for millions of Americans, consider this: water damage caused $9.1 billion in annual homeowner property losses over a threeyear period, according to a 2011 ACE Insurance Underwriters study. Despite that, many people don’t worry about protecting their home against water damage because they believe their home is safe so long as it isn’t located on a flood plain. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, flooding grabs the headlines, but the majority of water damage home insurance claims actually come from leaky or burst pipes. The primary cause for concern is your water heater. Approximately 10 million water heaters were sold in 2009 according to The US Department of Energy. Appliance Magazine estimates that 69 percent of those will develop a slow water leak or a sudden water burst when they reach their life expectancy — anywhere from five to 25 years, depending on the model. An estimated 5 to 7 million water heaters fail ever year, and all failures carry with them the possibility of causing water damage. Experts estimate the average cost for repairs after a water heater fails can exceed $20,000 according to the Insurance Information Institute. Another common household appliance that has the potential to create significant water damage when it fails is the washing machine. A washing machine’s potential for water spillage

Water damage in millions of homes could be prevented with ValveSentry device. does not always come from the machine itself but from the hot and cold-water hoses connected to it. As the machine ages, so too does the risk that a rupture of one of the hoses will cause a major flooding event. The average cost to repair water damage related to a washing-machine hose rupture is $5,308, according the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety. Finally, homeowners face threats from winter temperatures that can cause water lines to freeze and rupture, spilling water. In fact, frozen and broken water pipes rank No. 2 behind hurricanes in terms of both the number of homes damaged and the amount of claim costs. According to the Insurance Information Network of California, repair costs of around $50,000 due to flooding from frozen and broken water pipes are common. So what you can do to minimize these potential risks and avoid these catastrophes? Early detection of flooding or leakage can mean the

difference between a simple do-it-yourself clean-up project and an insurance claim amounting to thousands of dollars. Uncontrolled flooding can cause catastrophic damage within minutes or hours; in just the time that you’re away at work an undetected flood can cause tens of thousands of dollars of damage to the interior of a dwelling. Modern technology, like the ValveSentry Device, can interrupt the source of flooding or water when a rupture occurs. Inexpensive water sensors placed near the water heater, washing machine or other appliances — like a sink and toilet — alert the system when they sense water. The system then shuts off the water at its source, mitigating any damage. The ValveSentry Device can be installed in minutes by simply bolting it in place, which makes it much simpler to use than other devices that require the services of a licensed plumber or electrician.

Handcrafted items speak to the soul with customized appeal Brandpoint

The quilt handed down through generations, the turn-of-the-century wooden rocking chair made by a long-gone relative, handstitched samplers that have graced every home your family has lived in - handcrafted items simply speak to the soul. In today’s society, when we’re surrounded by technology and homogenous machine-made items from clothes to curtains, handcrafting imparts a human, customized quality to home decor. If you crave a handcrafted look in your home, it’s easy to achieve with design elements that can be as simple or luxurious as you wish. Handcrafted items can be found virtually anywhere, including places like your local antique store, specialty

showrooms and even online. Whatever your budget, adding key handmade items to your home can evoke that sense of quality, refinement and soul throughout your interior decor. Start with these unique elements to bring the beauty of handcrafting into your home: Hardwood shutters — Beauty, charm and practicality meet in hardwood shutters. The perfect tool to protect rooms from too much sun and to help keep indoor temperatures cool during hot summers and to keep heat in during cold winters, shutters add architecture to the window and are a true a design statement. You don’t have to scour the Internet looking for a specialized artisan to create hardwood shutters,

nor do you have to settle for something mass-produced that lacks the custom appeal of handmade. Hunter Douglas now offers Handcrafted Series finishing techniques in its heirloom-quality Heritance hardwood shutters, which feature dovetail construction, used on fine furniture for generations. These finishes include special hand treatments designed to replicate the character and charm of natural wood. Whether you desire a rustic appearance that includes knots, pin holes, mineral streaks and growth rings, a glazed and burnished effect with hand-rubbed glaze and hand-sanded frame corners or distressing that celebrates the passage of See Shutters, D15

Shutters Continued from D13 time, you can achieve the look with Heritance hardwood shutters. These hardwood shutters underscore the attention to detail and quality that characterize handcrafting in home decor. Visit www.hunterdouglas.com to learn more. Reclaimed flooring — Older wooden floors were commonly hand-planed, giving them unique beauty and personality. While many flooring manufacturers now offer planks that give the appearance of hand-planed wood, reclaimed flooring - wooden floorboards rescued from older buildings - can be a cost-effective way to incorporate real handcrafting into a room. Reclaimed floors offer singular character by recycling wood that

might otherwise have ended up in a landfill, and they also help you do something good for the environment. Handcrafted furniture — Whether you opt for antiques or choose something more contemporary, handcrafted furniture speaks of quality and customization. Each piece hand made by exacting furniture artisans is unique, and creates a one-of-a-kind effect in your home. What’s more, a handmade piece of furniture can become a cherished family heirloom - be it a rocking chair for the nursery or an accent table for the family room. The superior quality and individuality of handmade furniture can make it well worth the investment. Accessories — Incorporating handmade art and

other accessories is a costeffective, versatile way to achieve the appeal of handcrafting in your home decor. Antiques are often handcrafted. Placing actual paintings or hand-sculpted artwork throughout your home, rather than machine-produced prints or knickknacks, adds a depth of quality and character to decor. Choose handstitched accent pillows or hand-knit throws for comfort and individuality. With so many handcrafted options available, it’s easy to create a one-of-akind, quality effect in your home decor. From shutters to floors to accessories, Brandpoint handcrafted items endow interior décor with person- An heirloom distressed finish, one of six new handcrafted finishing techality and a custom look that niques, imparts character to these Hunter Douglas Heritance hardwood shutters in the pewter color. will be truly your own.
