A re you creeped out by chiggers and ticks? Unlike mosquitoes,

chiggers and ticks can’t be swatted away. I grew up hearing information about chiggers and ticks that often left me confused and paranoid. This article will dispel some of those myths and give you some advice on how to manage these pests while you enjoy the summer outdoors.

Myth: Chiggers bury them-selves into your skin so paint clear fingernail polish on them to kill them.

Chiggers or “red bugs” are the larvae of harvest mites. They prefer to feed on birds, reptiles and amphibians, so humans are accidental hosts. Due to the human immune reaction to a bite, the chigger cannot obtain enough food, so it gets dislodged or dies. A soapy shower can rid you of any attached chiggers.

Chiggers prefer to attach on parts of the body where cloth-ing fits tightly or the flesh is thin, so bites are often found around the ankles, waistline, knees or armpits.

Chigger bites produce a hardened, red welt that itches intensely 24 to 48 hours afterwards. Nonprescription local anesthetics and even meat tenderizer, studies have shown, can temporarily allevi-ate itching.

Protect yourself from chig-gers by wearing protective clothing and using repellents containing DEET. Apply the repellent to your legs, ankles, cuffs, waist and sleeves of clothing or directly to your body.

Myth: Red bugs live in Span-ish moss so don’t touch it.

Although chiggers may take refuge in fallen Spanish moss, they are not in the moss in the trees. Chiggers are often found

in low, damp areas with heavy vegetation, especially if there are a lot of rodents around. Chiggers occur in patches since a female lays eggs in one spot. They may be found in home lawns.

Mowing the lawn and cleaning up the landscape can reduce chiggers. You can find infested areas by plac-ing a piece of black cardboard edgewise to the ground and see if they climb to the top. They look like tiny moving yellow or pink dots.

Like mites, ticks are closely related to spiders with the adults having eight legs. All stages feeds on blood. The larvae are often called “seed ticks” and look like a freckle. Ticks wait on grass in forested areas and grabs on when a suitable animal passes by. Seed ticks emerge all at once so you can get over 100 on you at the same time.

Before entering wooded areas, wear protective cloth-ing, tuck your shirt in, and put your pants in your boots. After you get out, do a tick check of you and your pets. It is much easier to remove ticks while they are still crawling. You can get seed ticks off with duct tape or a linen roller.

Myth: Remove ticks by burn-ing them with a match first.

Once a tick is embedded into your skin, the best way to remove it is to grasp the tick as close to the skin as possible using tweezers and pull straight back. The key is

getting out the barbed mouth-parts because if they are not removed, then toxins that could carry diseases can still be transmitted. You don’t want to grab the abdomen of the tick since it will inject its gut con-tents in. The same is true by burning them with a match.

Myth: Most ticks carry Lyme disease.

Ticks are known to transmit serious diseases to humans and animals. The blacklegged deer tick is the primary vector of Lyme disease in the United States. Approximately 40-60 cases per year have been reported in Florida compared to over 4,000 in northeastern states. This is due to the ticks feeding primarily on lizards and reptiles in Florida, which do not carry the disease, rather than feeding on rodents.

Myth: If I get a bull’s eye rash, then I have Lyme disease.

The first sign of Lyme disease in 70-80 percent of patients is a bull’s eye rash, but also southern tick-associated rash illness vectored by the lone star tick can cause a simi-lar rash. If you develop a rash, visit your doctor because anti-biotics can treat early stages of infection.

Manage ticks using simi-lar techniques as chiggers. Excluding wildlife around your home through fencing can also help. Lastly, you can treat the yard with synthetic pyre-throids or carbaryl, just avoid getting it into waterways.

Charleston interior designer Cortney Bishop relied on a palette of stone, metal and wood and lots of black paint to turn this Round Hill, Va., relic into a posh escape. PHOTO BY KATIE FIELDER

By Megan Buerger Special to The Washington Post

Forty-five minutes north-west of Washington in the tiny town of Round Hill, Virginia, is a hilly plot of land with a duck pond, an old grain silo and a 300-year-old farmhouse. It was exactly what Beth and Randy Russell, of McLean, Virginia, were looking for: close enough to the city for convenient getaways, remote enough to unplug with the kids and old enough to need a seri-ous facelift. They bought the property in 2014 and hired Charleston, South Carolina, interior designer Cortney Bishop to bring it up to date.

“It’s like a watercolor, so peaceful and pure,” said Bishop, who relied on a palette of stone, metal, wood and lots of black paint to turn the relic into a posh escape. “You feel like you’re stepping

back in time.”It’s easy to see the appeal

of farmhouse living, with its fresh air, open pastures and recreational nature. But it also can be isolating, pricey and high-maintenance, meaning its rustic aesthetic has been largely reserved for folks in horse country — until now. In recent years, city dwellers who appreciate the style’s basic tenets have begun incorporating the look into their homes, with hand-crafted furniture, historic collectibles and charm-ing, nature-inspired decor. Bishop thinks it’s the next lifestyle craze.

“It’s already taken over the furniture markets and the restaurant industry,” she said, pointing to the recent explosion of farm-to-table restaurants filled with Mason jars, communal wooden

Q: Attached are pictures of a Minton vase that is approxi-mately 6 ½ inches high and 4 wide. It is a gift from my grandmother but I have not been able to research any information on the internet. If it has some value, would you recommend an appraiser for us?  It is in perfect condition. — P.G., Internet   

A: The Minton Porce-lain Works started business in England in the late 18th century and continues into current times. They are rec-ognized worldwide for high quality tableware, hollow-ware and figurines.  Collectors interested in Minton deco-rative arts prefer 19th- and early-20th-century pieces. The vase you own is very nice but low on the totem pole of collector interest. Potential dollar value is below $50.        

Q: I have attached two

photographs of this rocking chair. One is of the chair and the other is of the label on the bottom. I doubt very much that it is an antique. I would like to know the year it was made and who made it.  — J.S., Internet  

A: As marked on the under-side of the rocker seat your reproduction rocking chair was manufactured by the Authentic Furniture Products Company. They were located in El Segundo, California, from 1967 to 1992. The company produced household furni-ture styles taken from early

periods. Most of the furniture was made in japan. There is no specific collector inter-est.  Potential dollar value is catch-as-catch-can. 

Q: I met you once at a char-ity appraisal event and always wanted to ask you if these paintings that belonged to my mother-in-law have any value but didn’t know how to send!  You are receiving three photos of paintings and three of the signatures. Hope to hear some-thing good. — K.K., Internet 

A: The painting of the female nude signed Pavel is the only signature of the three signed paintings I can make out. There is no information about the artist nor any track record of sales. I will assume you have examined the verso of all three paintings and found nothing. As simply decorative pictures the range of inter-est is narrow. All that leaves

dollar values on the low side of catch-as-catch-can. 

Q: I replaced this monstros-ity of a chandelier in a home I recently purchased and was going to trash it when a friend suggested it might have some value. It is very heavy, brass and the white portions are some type of stone. It says, “Made in Spain.” Is it worth putting on Craigslist, or should I donate it to the thrift store? — J.K., Internet  

A: The chandelier is in the catch-as-catch-can range, in other words it may have some value to somebody. A donation would be good, perhaps Hos-pice or a charity of your choice.

tables and watering cans filled with fresh flowers. “Everyone is taking cues from farmhouse.”

Darryl Carter, a Washington designer who renovated an 1840s farmhouse in The Plains, Virginia, and who is known for his ability to bridge modern and classical design, says pulling off the look takes an eye for continuity and a willingness to embrace imperfections.

“I always follow the architecture,” he said, referring to flaws that often come with old buildings, such as “slop-ing floors” and “parged walls above fireplaces with smoke stains from years of use.” He encountered several inconsistencies during his own renovation. The original floors were wide planks of caramel-col-ored pine, while the floors in the additions were thin, garden-variety oak. “I

navigated the two species and colors by painting them white with exterior porch paint,” he said.

Heirlooms are key and often dictate the rest of a farmhouse’s interior. The look of Carter’s cottage was informed by a large, white, 19th-century barn door with a silhouette of a pony.

And Bishop struck gold when builders called her attention to a 2,000-pound gravestone that was found on the grounds by the previ-ous owner and, due to its size, never moved. Bishop says the previous owner believed it was headed to Mount Vernon, presumably decades ago, as a replacement headstone for Capt. John Washington (George’s great-uncle). Histori-ans from Mount Vernon weren’t able to verify the theory, but the piece - now mounted over a living room mantel - still packs serious visual punch. “It tells the story of the property’s past,” Bishop says.

But don’t get carried away. One of the biggest mistakes people make with farmhouse interiors is overdecorating, and it’s the quickest way to make a room look dated. Keep patterns small and colors neutral so that the important collectibles, such as a grandmother’s quilt or a family portrait, stand out. And resist the urge to change things up from room to room.

There’s nothing wrong with painting every bathroom the same color. If you’re itching for something to pop, try playing with textures or putting a piece of modern art in a sparse room.

“The color is there in the green hills, the blue pond, the red barn. If you’re in the suburbs, it’s in a tree outside an important window. Don’t distract from it,” Bishop advised.

“Don’t feel like every room needs to have its own personality.”

Carter agrees. “Avoid anything

thematic. Many people

are tempted to clutter up spaces with prints and patterns.

“If that suits your sensibility, great, but the way to create calm in a space is to avoid visual chaos. These structures are usually beautiful on their own.”

faucet lines available that are basically mix and match. A widespread faucet has an 8-inch or so spread between the faucet handles. So, you may have to upgrade the sink as well to a wide-spread bathroom sink.

Standard widespread faucets are usually sold as a complete package with the spout and valve assemblies included.

But, with this new create-your-own line of widespread faucets, you purchase the type

of faucet spout you like separately. Then choose and purchase the valve body style you want to add with the spout. This gives you the option of getting a faucet you can basically call your own.

Many of the faucet spouts are water-savers

and handles are pre-assembled, so you can also be short on install time and long on savings.

Chris Berry poses for a portrait in front of his six-color, 1881 home on DuPage Street on May 23 in Elgin, Ill. Berry and his wife have been restoring the home since they bought it in 2012. STACEY WESCOTT/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/TNS

By Leslie MannChicago Tribune (TNS)

Whether you plan to sell your house this year or after your last child leaves the nest, being a homeowner includes keeping the house in tip-top shape.

Yes, you can boost your sale price by updat-ing your kitchens and bathrooms, but buyers will never even see your home’s interior if the exterior scares them off.

Every house needs curb appeal. You want your house to say “welcome” to prospective buyers, not, as Oz said in the

“Wizard of Oz,” “Go away!”

Following are some suggestions from experts in the field and home-owners who have upped the curb appeal of their homes.

Be objective“Step back and look

at your house as though you’ve never seen it before,” said Chip Wade, host of HGTV’s “Elbow Room” and a home-improvement consultant for Liberty Mutual Insur-ance. “Even if you don’t use it, there should be a clearly defined path to your front door. After

dark, the entry should have sufficient lighting. The address numerals should be visible and easyto read. If your front doorneeds to be replaced, now’s the time.”

Buyers will notice if your house needs a new roof or siding. These are costly, but they can make or break the sale. Long-term warranties tell the buyers they don’t have to worry about re-doing these projects.

One of Wade’s biggest bugaboos is the garage door, which can hog the screen in your house photo. “It’s a necessary evil,” he said. “But a substantial one will look better than a ‘builder-grade’ door. The new wood-look doors look real but are not as heavy as real wood.”

Ideally, your house has a front porch, said Wade. “Short of that, you can add a portico that’s big enough to keep your guests dry when it’s raining,” he said.

Enlist the experts“We did a lot of the

work ourselves,” said Chris Berry of the 19th-century house he and his wife, Rebekah, remod-eled in Elgin, Ill. “But first, we got professional advice.”

Before they bought paint, they hired a color specialist who helped

them choose a set of colors that would have been used when the house was built. “And we hired a landscape designer to draft a plan that took summer and winter light into consid-eration, then planted the plants ourselves to save money,” Berry said.

To define the Berrys’ corner lot, the landscape designer suggested they install an aluminum fence with a wrought-iron look. The designer was spot-on, Berry said. The fence frames the front-yard view of the house and saves their plants from being trampled by kids who attend the grade school

across the street.If you can’t afford the

pros, take advantage of apps and manufacturers’ websites that let you post a photo of your house, then “paint” it different colors or add amenities.

Respect the house’s origins

As you undo the remuddling your house suffered, “don’t fight the house’s original style,” said John Potter, architect with Morgante Wilson Architects in Evanston, Ill. “A profes-sional designer can help you work with it.”

When Potter designed a remodel of Renee and Garrick Lau’s 1896 Itali-anate house in Wilmette, he chose materials his predecessors would have used in the late 1800s.

“We used 3-inch-exposure cedar siding, painted sage, with white trim,” said Potter. “We gave the house a wooden front door, beadboard porch ceiling and wooden front steps.”

Potter kept the home’s original, wavy-glass windows. What they lack in energy efficiency, he said, they have in char-acter. Sometimes the house’s original exterior is there, but hidden.

“Under a layer of aluminum siding was the original siding and architectural details including sunbursts and half-round windows,” said Berry.

The Berrys do their own home-improvement jobs to save money, but Berry estimates it would cost about $25,000 to

repair original clap-boards, replace rotted areas, recreate damaged ornamentation and paint the whole exterior. This is for a 2,000-square-foot house.

Weigh cost vs. valueBefore you embark on

home improvements that will enhance your home’s curb appeal, consider how much money you’ll recoup when you sell the place.

Lucky for you, Remod-eling magazine compiles an annual cost vs. value report. If you replace your unsightly front door, for example, you can recoup 72 percent of your cost if you get a fiberglass one or 101.8 percent if you buy one that’s steel. You’ll get 88.4 percent of your money back at resale if

you buy a new garage door.

A new roof costs about $19,528, said the report, but you’ll get 71.6 percent ($13,975) of that back at resale. Windows are costly, too, but yield a 72.9 percent payback if they’re vinyl and 78.8 percent if they’re wood.

If you are not sell-ing the house soon, add the value of having that amenity while you live in the house. Many a home-owner says he wishes he had made the upgrade years ago instead of making it prior to selling.

Greenbacks for greenery

There are two com-ponents to curb appeal —the house itself and the plants that give the prop-erty life.

For the lush lawn that buyers want, consider a professional lawn service for fertilizing and weed control. If you have at least three months until you list your house, the service can seed and aerate it, too. If you’re listing the house soon, splurge on sod for an instant upgrade.

Trim or replace foun-dation plants that hide the view of your house from the street. Edge the lawn for a tidy look.

Post large planters on either side of the front door. If you don’t have a green thumb, fill the pots with faux boxwood, said the experts at The Silk Thumb in Highwood, Ill. They cost more than the real McCoys, but are maintenance-free and look real.

By Neal J. LeiteregLos Angeles Times (TNS)

LOS ANGELES — Brit-ish singer-songwriter Robbie Williams is ready to experience L.A. life through another lens, listing his home in the Westside of Los Angeles County for sale at $11 million.

Williams bought the French Normandy-style house in the Mulholland Estates — a star-studded gated community found in between Beverly Glen and Benedict Canyon — more than a decade ago for $5.45 million.

The multistory home, built in 1992 and updated by the pop star, has a classic yet contemporary feel.

Subtle hues, sparkling chandeliers and a sweep-ing staircase wrapped in artful ironwork are among the eye-catching details.

In other parts of the home, dark patterned wallpaper creates visual interest against detailed molding.

The 10,681 square feet of interiors include a two-story entry that opens to a living room and a dining room with a mirrored wall. A study, a gym/media room, a center-island kitchen, a circular breakfast nook, seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms are also within the home.

The third-floor master suite, with a separate sitting room and lavish

modern bath, has pocket doors that open to a balcony overlooking the grounds.

An office with a recording studio sits off the master bedroom.

An outdoor living room with a fireplace, a built-in barbecue/kitchen and a swimming pool with a waterfall and rock spa fill grounds of about three-quarters of an acre.

Views take in the city, mountains and sur-rounding canyons.

Williams, 42, gained fame in the 1990s as a member of the pop group Take That.

As a solo artist, he has released 10 studio albums and is among the best-selling artists ever in Britain.

He owns other real estate in Los Angeles.

Kylie Jenner makes a style change

Kylie Jenner loves to switch up her look, con-stantly cycling through various hair colors and other trends.

Turns out that quick-change mentality applies to real estate, too.

A year after buying a home in Calabasas, the 18-year-old and youngest daughter of Kardashian-Jenner matriarch Kris Jenner has bought a Cape Cod-inspired home in Hidden Hills for $6.025 million. The reality-television star is preparing to put the Calabasas home up for sale.

As for the new house, it's a traditional-style two-story with white siding and a slate-col-ored roof that butts up against the hillside on a 4.5-acre lot.

It takes in views of the surrounding valley and a nearby creek bed.

Inside, polished living spaces feature vaulted ceilings, distressed wood floors and a glass-enclosed wine cellar beneath the stairs. Open living and dining rooms, a chef's kitchen with two center islands, a media room, six bedrooms and seven bathrooms lie within more than 7,000 square feet of interiors.

And in true Kar-dashian-Jenner fashion, a master suite boasts

custom boutique-inspired closets, a fireplace and a covered patio that opens to the grounds.

Outdoors, a large covered patio spans the length of the house and has a built-in barbecue.

A swimming pool, rose gardens, fountains and lawns fill the setting. There's also a four-car garage.

The house came up for sale last year for $6.435 million and was taken off the market in January.

Jenner appears on the series "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," which centers on the lives of her parents, Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, and her siblings.

Earlier this year, she launched the makeup line Kylie Cosmetics.

A ‘perfect’ rebel goes traditional

Australian actress Rebel Wilson of “Pitch Perfect” fame has bought a home in West Holly-wood for $2.95 million.

The two-story

traditional, built last year by ROMM Remodeling, has classic curb appeal with a white picket fence, eggshell-colored siding and a decorative oval window above the front door. A covered porch sits off the entrance.

Inside, the roughly 4,400-square-foot house features vaulted and cof-fered ceilings, wide-plank wood floors, delicate wainscoting and a range of white and gray hues. A

glass-enclosed wine cellar sits below the stairs.

Among common areas is an open living and dining room with a fireplace, a center-island chef’s kitchen, a family room and an office/library. Bi-fold-ing doors off the family room open to a covered patio for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The house came to market in January for $3.299 million and was more recently priced at

$3.195 million, records show.

Wilson, 36, has film credits that include “Bach-elorette” (2012), “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” (2012) and “Pain & Gain” (2013).

She will return for the third installment in the “Pitch Perfect” fran-chise, due out next year.

$2M listing has ‘wonderful’ pedigree

A Hollywood Hills

home that once belonged to Oscar-winning direc-tor Frank Capra and his first wife, actress Helen Howell, has listed for sale at $2 million.

Built for Capra in 1925, the Spanish Revival-style house has vintage appeal, with arched doors and windows, brick accents and wrought iron work. Colorful tile risers deco-rate the steps leading up to the entrance.

The house last changed

hands more than four decades ago for $42,000, property records show.

Capra, who died in 1991 at 94, won a trio of Academy Awards for best director for the films “It Happened One Night” (1934), “Mr. Deeds Goes to Town” (1936) and “You Can’t Take It With You” (1938). “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” (1939) and “It’s a Wonderful Life” (1946) are among the filmmaker’s other credits.
