Adapting aroom’s designfor a serious

challenge

Right: With a combination of rustic elements,comfy furnishings and high-tech touches, thisroom will give Christian the space he needsfor himself and the entire family. Below:Christian and Karin were in need of theirsecond floor to be turned into a master suiteand a place for the entire family to hang out.( S H N S / H GT V )

When you are a member of a military family, youget good at adapting to change. And no one knowsthis better than Christian (a lieutenant commanderin the Canadian Navy), his wife, Karin, and theirtwo young sons. The family has traveled across thecountry, adjusting to many new homes, schools andsurroundings along the way.

But their biggest challenge came when Christianwas injured during an intelligence mission inAfghanistan. He returned home and had multipleback surgeries, but when he didn’t heal as expect-ed, tests revealed he had amyotrophic lateral sclero-sis (ALS), a neurodegenerative disease that causesloss of mobility and speech.

So the family made another move – into a newhouse that would better suit Christian’s needs andbetter accommodate an elevator. Karin also wantedto reconfigure a room on the second floor into aspace that could serve as both a master bedroomand a hub for the whole family. So I grabbed mycrew and geared up to create a dual-purpose roomthat was beautiful, relaxing and functional.

The first order of the day: Cut out a shaft, and getmy experts to install an elevator, which will serveas Christian’s access to the second floor. I knockeddown all of the walls to create one big open spacefor easy wheelchair access.

Next, I got to work on the aesthetics. Karin toldme that Christian always loved the atmosphere oftheir rustic, family cottage, so I decided to give theroom a warm, cabin-like vibe. I started by installingrich, walnut wood flooring and painting the walls acreamy shade of putty. To set the color scheme forthe space, I also put up some hand-painted wallpa-per in brown, rust and stone.

I then set out to organize the room into two ar-

eas: a bedroom and a lounge. In the bedroom, I hadto work in a hospital bed, but I did not want it tolook sterile. So I positioned the bed in front of thewindow, installed a truffle-brown velvet, wall-mounted headboard, and spiced it all up with or-ganic bedding and throw pillows in cream, brownand cognac.

On either side of the bed, I installed a layeredwindow treatment that mixes creamy silk and wo-ven grass hues. Above the bed, I put up a hand-painted silk light fixture that lightens the space.

Reflecting more light into the room is a hugemirror across from the bed that doubles as a big-screen television. This arrangement allows Chris-tian to utilize it as part of his new high-tech com-munications system, which lets him surf the Inter-net, play MP3s, and read and communicate with hisfamily by blinking his eyes. Below the mirror is aconsole table and a few block seats that can be usedanywhere in the room. In the lounge area, I put in awhole wall of dark wood shelving and storage, witha gorgeous raised gas fireplace in the middle. I fin-ished it off with under-cabinet lighting and ruggedhardware, and put a deep-seated chocolate-brownlounge chair next to it for fireside viewing.

Finally, I added a host of beautiful accessories –books, family photos, artwork and lamps – and theroom was complete. By mixing rustic elements,comfortable furnishings and high-tech touches, thisroom is now a beautiful and functional space forChristian and a warm, inviting sanctuary for thewhole family. Now that’s divine.

Forced bulbs make beautiful, inexpensive gifts

Carol O’Meara

Colorado StateUniversity Extension

Readers, the time has arrived for us to beginpreparing gifts for the throngs of friends, familyand coworkers we want to remember each sea-son. We need to focus, form a plan, and get seri-ous about getting ready. After all, the holidaysare just around the corner.

Before you e-mail to savage me about cele-brating so soon, remember that some things forwinter gifts take a little time. And if you’rethinking about giving a pot of bulbs burstingwith blooms, now is the time for planting. Forthis thoughtful, inexpensive gift, all you need isa little shopping, a clean pot, sterile soil androom in the refrigerator.

Bulbs that stand up to forcing are the hardyones, such as tulips, daffodils, hyacinths andcrocus. To get them to grow and flower, theyneed several months of cold temperatures, soclear out the vegetable crisper of your refrigera-tor. Pot them in their container before you chillthem; this helps keep them from drying out,gives roots a place to roam, and saves you timelater when you pull the pot from the fridge andwrap it.

Put the bulbs in a squat container withdrainage holes at the bottom. Don’t worry if thepot isn’t as decorative as you’d like, you can

double-pot it when youwrap it for a gift. Justmake sure the pot hold-ing the bulbs has plentyof drainage.

Different bulbs re-quire more or lessspace, but good rules ofthumb when plantinga re :

For tulips, plant threebulbs per 5-inch pot.Hyacinths need a bitmore room, so popthree to four bulbs in a7-inch pot. Cover tulipsand hyacinths with justenough soil so that theirtips show above thesoil.

Daffodils are alsospaced three to four per7-inch pot, but are

planted more shallowly; let half of the bulbshow above the soil. Smaller bulbs like crocusor grape hyacinths can be placed five to sevenper 7-inch pot, buried one inch below the sur-face.

The number of weeks spent chilling varies abit with each bulb, but in general, plan on 13weeks at 40 to 48 degrees. Although crisperdrawers in refrigerators are ideal, the bulbsmust be kept away from other fruits and vegeta-bles that give off ethylene gas, which preventsflowers from forming. If your fridge is too smallor full for bulbs, consider purchasing pre-chilled bulbs a bit later in the winter and pot-ting these up for gifts.

Moisten the soil before popping it in the re-frigerator, and cover the pot with a plastic bagto hold moisture in. Punch a few holes in thebag to let the bulbs breathe – a moldy gift,though talked about for years, would be disas-trous. Don’t be alarmed if the bulbs send up afew yellow shoots – they’ll green up after sun-light hits them.

Pull the pots from the fridge around Dec. 23

and primp them up for giving. Slide them into adecorative outer container, wrap with a bow,and give your friends or family the pot of dirtwith a flourish, explaining that with a bit ofcare, their bulbs will bloom.

Include directions on a note card: moistenthe soil, and place in a cool, sunny room at 50to 60 degrees until the shoots and leaves beginto grow, about one week. Then move to awarmer location but avoid placing in directsunlight. In three to four weeks the bulbs willf l o w e r.

Allergy-proof your homeMaking your home inhospitable for allergens sounds

like a daunting task; it’s going to be you against millionsof mold spores, dust mites and pollen. Fortunately,though, you’re smarter than these minute microbes, andfollowing these tips can help you keep allergies at bay.

1. Clean the cleaning room. Your bathroom is for moldwhat your bedroom is for dust mites – heaven at home.

• Inspect water pipes for leaks, and make needed re-pairs immediately.

• Regularly clean walls with a nontoxic cleaner.• Make sure that ventilation fans are routed to the out-

side, and run them for 30 minutes after a shower or bath.• Scrub away mold on pipes and fixtures.2. Reduce dust generators. Consider pitching curtains,

high-pile carpeting and upholstered furniture in the bed-room: all of these make cozy accommodations for aller-gens.

• Best bet: washable throw rugs over wood, linoleumor tiled floors.

• Damp-mop regularly, and clean walls and other sur-faces.

• If you must have carpeting, choose carpet with ashort, tight pile, and vacuum weekly with a cleaner thathas a small-particle or high-efficiency particulate air(HEPA) filter.

Lawn RenovationFall weather is the perfect time to restart grass

By Joe Lamp’l

Scripps Howard News Service

T h e re ’s a great debate goingon these days about whether tohave a lawn or not. In fact, agrowing number of peopleacross America are replacingtheir sod with low-mainte-nance ground covers, orna-mental grasses, perennials orsome combination of theabove. Granted, it’s a radicalchange, but one some are will-ing to take in the name of bet-ter environmental stewardshipand, certainly, less work.

Unfortunately, a truly low-maintenance lawn does not yetexist. So if you still happen tohave some lawn, it’s time toroll up those sleeves and getbusy on your fall lawn renova-tion for cool-season turf vari-eties such as fescue, Kentuckybluegrass, perennial ryegrassand bentgrass. In early to mid-fall, these types are in activegrowth mode, making now theideal time to take on this task.Although the soil is still warm,the air is cool. It’s the perfectcombination for grass seeds togerminate and take root quick-ly, without the stress of sum-mer heat and humidity.

Renovate vs. Starting OverThe question often arises re-

garding whether to work withan existing, run-down lawn, orto simply start from scratch. Isay that if the lawn is still 50percent intact, renovate whatyou have. Otherwise, startingover by replacing the existinglawn usually achieves more sat-isfying, long-term results.

Either way, begin in Septem-ber by removing weeds anddead grass. The most practicaloptions include spraying withan herbicide, hand removal orusing equipment such as atiller or sod cutter. If you’rerenovating and using an herbi-cide, spot spray the problem-weed areas only. But whereveryou spray, be sure to only spray

when the weather is calm,and spray on target to avoidthe consequences of chemicaldrift.

Once the lawn debris is re-moved or dead, begin themakeover process. Prepare thebare soil to readily accept theseeds or sod by making itloose. A tiller is the easiest toolfor this job. The tines will turnthe soil over several inchesdeep and improve drainage.For renovations, consider rent-ing a “core aerator” for prepar-ing the ground. This device ex-tracts cores from the soil andallows for better aeration, com-paction relief and improveddrainage, all while doing littleto no damage to the grass youare trying to preserve.

In either case, this is also thebest time to improve the soil byadding or incorporatingamendments such as compost,leaf mold, manure, lime andfertilizers. The best way toknow what nutrients to add isto refer to a soil test throughyour county extension service.This test also provides impor-tant information regarding thesoil’s pH level and instructionsfor bringing it to optimal lev-els. And at around $10, it’s ab a rg a i n .

Next, add seed or sod, de-

pending on the level ofmakeover you’ve chosen. Forseed, apply it at the rate sug-gested on the bag. Use a criss-cross pattern with the spreaderto ensure adequate coverage.For sod, lay it down in rows,alternating the seams from rowto row. For either case, a rent-ed, water-filled barrel roller is agood tool for making sure theseeds or turf have good contactwith the soil. Lastly, keep theseed or sod moist until it is es-tablished, usually with severallight waterings throughout thed a y.

After your new lawn is estab-lished, it should receive about1 inch of water per week in theabsence of rain. A second ap-plication of lawn fertilizer canbe applied about six weeksafter the first. This will provideall the nutrients your newlawn needs to grow strongand thrive well into the newy e a r.

If a lush, healthy cool-seasonlawn is on your wish list thisfall, a few important steps tak-en now will make it the envy ofthe neighborhood, and makeyour spring lawn care even eas-ier, too.

Special Featur e

Homeowners look within to green their homesBy Kimberly Crater

Longmont Times-Call

The seven year itch hits all homeown-ers at some point, however in the cur-rent economy it can be tough to scratch.Making small updates to their homescan help homeowners avoid the itch,and doing the work themselves can saveon tight budgets.

However, as concerns about the envi-ronment begin to change the buyinghabits of consumers, many homeownersare looking for ways to make theirhomes environmentally friendly and en-ergy efficient.

The most popular do-it-yourself pro-jects are aimed at homeowners who aretrying to reduce their carbon footprints.James Evig, a sales manager from Bud-get Home Center in Longmont, saysmost people are looking to save moneyon their energy bills through home im-p ro v e m e n t s .

The American Recovery and Reinvest-ment Act of 2009 provides additionalincentives for homeowners looking tobe environmentally conscientious. Thelaw, as part of an economic stimuluspackage, allows for homeowners to re-ceive a tax credit of 30 percent, up to$1,500, off qualifying purchases.

Updating exterior doors and win-dows, adding insulation and switchingto a more energy-efficient heating andair conditioning system are examples ofeligible updates.

For many items, like windows anddoors, the cost of installation is not in-cluded in the tax credit, promptingmany to tackle the projects themselves.

Updating doors and windows is a rel-atively easy project and one of the most

popular for homeowners looking to putin a little work themselves, says Evig.Ordering the right size is crucial, Evigrecommends homeowners measurecarefully before purchasing new doorsand windows.

To be eligible for the tax credit, win-dows and doors must efficiently keepheat in while preventing outdoor ele-ments, like the winter cold or excessheat from the sun, from creeping intothe home.

Windows, doors and skylights shouldmeet certification requirements by theNational Fenestration Ratings Council,an independent, nonprofit organization.Most eligible products are also approvedby Energy Star, a program designed bythe Environmental Protection Agencyand the Department of Energy to helpconsumers easily spot some of the mostenergy efficient products on the market.

It is a good idea to check with a salesassociate or other employee to makesure the purchase meets the govern-ment’s requirements, especially becausenot all Energy Star certified productsmeet the strict requirements.

Heading into the winter months it isalso important to ensure that furnaceswill operate at the highest level of effi-ciency. Victor Avaya, an employee atBudget Home Center, says an easy do-it-yourself project for many homeownersis changing the filter in their furnace.Cleaner filters extend the life of the fur-nace while making the system more effi-cient. Avaya says the filter should bechanged every three months, but home-owners often only find time to replace itonce a year.

Installing a digital programmable

thermostat is another project thathomeowners can tackle while trying togreen their homes and cut down onsoaring energy bills, Evig says.

A programmable thermostat allowshomeowners to control the temperatureof their home at different times of theday. For example, during the day whenno one is home or overnight, the tem-perature in the home can be lowered. Aprogrammable thermostat can automati-cally lower the temperature even whenno one is home, reducing the amount ofenergy needed to keep the house warm.

Evig cautions that before installing anew digital programmable thermostat,homeowners should turn off the elec-tricity. It should be shut off not only be-cause of risk of electrocution, but alsobecause it can overload the heating sys-tem. “We hear more heating and coolingguys have to come in because (home-

owners) didn’t turn off the electricity,”Evig says.

For homeowners who are wary of do-ing work themselves but want to maketheir homes more energy efficient,Avaya recommends homeowners re-place old incandescent light bulbs withthe more eco-friendly compact flores-cent light bulbs.

Even though florescent bulbs costmore to purchase than their incandes-cent counterparts, they use less energywhich can result in lower monthly ener-gy bills. CFLs also have a longer lifethan traditional incandescent bulbs anddo not need to be replaced as often.

With economic and environmentalconcerns weighing heavily on the mindsof consumers, it is no surprise thathomeowners are looking to themselvesto make their homes as energy efficientas possible.

Make an open floor plan appealingArticle Resource Association

More homeowners are merging living and fami-ly spaces with the kitchen in an open floor plan.

This kind of floor plan is not only family-friend-ly and perfect for entertaining, it will actually sellbetter if you ever decide to put your home on themarket. An open floor plan makes your spaceseem bigger and more up to date. However, roomswith competing decor, such as a contemporaryfamily room versus a traditionally styled kitchen,can make blending the space difficult.

The best way to make an open floor plan a suc-cess is to create a seamless transition from thekitchen to the other living spaces. “A homeownercan bring family spaces and the kitchen togetherby blending design periods to create a uniquestyle,” says Connie Edwards, certified kitchen andbathroom designer and director of design forAmerican Woodmark cabinetry. “There are waysto thoughtfully combine traditional and contem-

porary elements. The end result is a very warm,casual, comfortable feeling – with an air of sophis-tication that flows throughout the home.”

Edwards offers some useful tips on creating aharmonious open floor plan.

• Incorporate small contemporary touches thatmake a big impact, such as a stainless steel rangehood and a glass mosaic tile backsplash. Just makesure the colors and textures are compatible witheach other and the adjoining room.

• Select a cabinet door in a rich brown finishthat complements living and dining room furni-ture. American Woodmark, sold exclusively atHome Depot, offers an Auburn Glaze on 11 differ-ent maple door styles. The deep brown glaze overa Cognac finish settles into the corners andgrooves, giving the cabinets a traditional, vintagelook. Pairing this with modern hardware com-pletes the transitional design.

• Display contemporary decorative objects onopen shelving in the kitchen island. Selecting ob-jects that complement the decor of the adjoiningroom is a subtle way to make the kitchen flownicely with the open space.

• Consider a farmhouse sink that has been re-designed with a contemporary finish, such asstainless steel. Stainless steel acts as a neutral, so itwill not detract from more elaborate home decora-tions.

To create that perfect open space, you’ll want towork with a designer at your local home center tohelp the remodeling process run smoothly – f ro mproduct decision-making to installation. For addi-tional design ideas and information, visitw w w. w o o d m a r k - h o m e d e p o t . c o m .

Filling a SpaceWhen selecting furniture for a room,be sure that the piece is the right sizefor the space and setup. Big, beautifulfurniture can be great, but it can alsobe a disaster in a small room.

A streamlined arrangement frees up valuablespace and helps establish a clutter-free haven.

Protect your home with these tipsArticle Resource Association

Every year more than 500,000 fires oc-cur in homes across the nation. To helpprotect your home and your loved ones,the experts have come up with the fol-lowing easy-to-follow tips that couldmake all the difference.

“Fires, even small ones, can quicklybecome out of control,” says Lou Man-fredini, Ace’s Helpful Hardware Man.“Taking the time now to prepare yourhome can help save lives and money.”

Protect your HomeAny home is susceptible to fire, and

the first step to keeping your family safeis to purchase two essential items.

• Fire alarms: Fire alarms are yourfirst line of defense when it comes tofires. Make sure you have one installedon every level of your home – even theattic. To get the most protection, installone in, or near, every bedroom.

Fire alarms use three different meth-ods to detect fire: photoelectric, whichresponds to smoke; ionization, which re-sponds to smoke and gas; and thermal,which responds to heat. When choosingan alarm, select one that utilizes morethan one of the above methods.

Once the fire alarms are installed, besure to test them once a month andchange the batteries twice a year “Agood reminder is to change the batterieswhen you change your clocks for day-light savings,” Manfredini says.

• Fire extinguisher: Every homeshould have a fire extinguisher, specifi-cally one that is labeled as “ABC” which

means it can be used on all types of fires.Additionally, bigger is not always betterwhen it comes to these products. It isimportant to select a size that fits withinyour appropriate storage location. “Thegeneral rule of thumb is to have one fireextinguisher on every floor of yourhome, especially a small one for yourkitchen,” Manfredini says.

The experts also suggest keeping a fireextinguisher within 10 feet of the stove,on the same side of the kitchen that hasthe exit. Many fires occur in the kitchen,such as grease fires, and keeping an ex-tinguisher nearby can help you containthe damage.

Once you have selected your fire ex-tinguisher purchase the desired numberplus one additional extinguisher for youto try out. Remember, you don’t want tohave to learn how to use the extinguish-er while there is a fire in your home.

Stop Fire Before it StartsWhile fires can start for any number of

reasons, there are two common causesthat are easy to fix.

• Fireplaces: There is nothing betterthan sitting in front of a warm fire on acold day, but unmaintained fireplacescan be a huge hazard.

• Appliances: Electrical fires can occurout of nowhere, so if your appliance isemitting an unusual smell, unplug it andhave someone repair it before usingagain. Additionally, replace frayed orcracked electrical cords and don’t over-load extension cords. Never run cordsunder rugs.

Determining the value of Kennedy signatures

Gettingcreative

withstorage

By Rosemary Sadez Friedmann


Let’s talk storage. And let’s think outsidethe box – literally. Perhaps we can get a lit-tle creative; after all, that’s what this col-umn is usually about, right? And withmany people moving into or living in small-er spaces, storage containers are frequentlydisplayed in plain sight, so thought has tobe given to durable, varied products thatcomplement the room’s decor while also of-fering a good amount of usable storagespace.

H e re ’s a little list of ideas, so you can pickand choose what might work for you.

Go to a wine store and ask for emptywine crates. If they don’t have any on hand,ask if they might save some for you. Winecrates are attractive in an old-world kind ofway and can be used for both storage anddecoration.

Baskets are great for holding magazinesor books near a favorite seating area. Rather

than purchase the run-of-the-mill rattanbaskets that are rectangular with openingson the sides for carrying, go for the moreunusual basket types that look like theycould be used at an old-fashioned picnic.

Hatboxes are decorative and great forstoring (or hiding) items you often use,but don’t want out and cluttering the viewof a room. In the right room, they can addnice, stylish touches. Hatboxes are stillavailable, even though nobody uses themfor hats anymore. Search for varietiesonline.

Do you happen to have an old set ofmatching luggage? Three different sizeswould be ideal, set one on top of the other –instant storage and decor. These wouldwork well in a guest bedroom, as it wouldset the travel mood and give extra space forblankets, sheets and/or other items thatmight be used in that room. If three are notavailable, even one will do if it is largeenough.

Some extra storage in the closets can behandy. Think wicker baskets with lids soyou can stack one over the other. Theyshould match so the closet looks organized,but they don’t have to be very decorativesince they’ll be stored out of sight. Clearplastic containers also work well in thecloset, particularly for easy viewing of whatis stored.

Ottomans that open and have space tostore things are, of course, great for storage.Trunks can be used as cocktail tables andoffer wonderful space, and end tables withdoors or drawers for storing/hiding itemsare also useful. Think creatively and per-haps some unique storage ideas will pop in-to your head.

If you’ve thought of any or if you alreadyhave special storage containers, feel free towrite and tell me about them.

Dear Helaine and Joe: I havesignatures from John F. Kennedybefore he became president ofthe United States. I am fairlycertain they are authentic. If so,could you tell me their worth?Thank you. – N.S.

Dear N.S.: Today, many viewJohn Fitzgerald Kennedy, the 35thpresident of the United States, assomething of an icon. Born inBrookline, Mass., on May 29,1917, to Joseph P. and RoseFitzgerald Kennedy, he graduatedfrom Harvard University in 1940 –and in the spring of 1941, volun-teered for the U.S. Army – whichrejected him.

Shortly after serving in World War II,he ran for, and was elected to,Congress, representing the 11th districtin Massachusetts; while he served inthis capacity, he signed the typewrittenletters now in the possession of N.S.

There is no question that autographsof U.S. presidents can be exceedinglyvaluable. The monetary worth dependson the content of the document, note orletter and whether or not it was entirelyhandwritten or typed. Some of the morehistorically important pieces can go as

high as $1 million-plus.Genuine Kennedy presidential signa-

tures on typed documents are worthabout $2,000 to $2,500 (if the contentis ordinary and unexciting). GenuineKennedy signatures on typed docu-ments (with ordinary content) writtenbefore his presidency should be valuedin the $1,300 to $1,800 range.

AAS Bedding Plant Award WinnerA combination of new and old de-

scribes Zahara Starlight Rose. Zinniasare old-fashioned flowers but theserose and white flowers are a new bi-color for sun loving annuals.

Other new traits are the proven re-sistances to leaf spot and mildew,which can devastate healthy plantsand cause an early death. These supe-rior qualities resulted in long lastingzinnia plants that provide generouscolor all season. Zahara StarlightRose is heat and drought tolerant andeasy to grow in gardens.

A perfect plant for the novice orexperienced gardener because it is soundemanding with a maximum num-ber of blooms. The mature plants aremid-sized, about 12 to 14 inches talland wide, large enough to make abold statement in containers or urns.

Home Decor

Fall decorating toolsBy Mary Carol Garrity


For me, there is no better color palettethan the rich hues of autumn – bur-gundy, chestnut brown, mossy greens,pumpkin orange and amber. And thereare no better decorating props thanthose Mother Nature provides this timeof year, from gourds, harvest fruits, veg-etables, dried grasses and vines toacorns and hedge apples.

So as soon as the weather turns cool-er, I’m itching to weave all of autumn’sglory into my interior and exterior deco-rating. Here are a few of the decoratingtools I can’t get enough of this seasonand tips on how you can use them totransform your home for fall.

BurlapI adore burlap, with its rough and

rugged fibers and earthy tone, and takeevery chance I can get to mix things upby combining this humble fabric withthings that are more refined and stately.So when I came across a burlap tabletopper edged in luxurious cocoa-brownvelvet, I knew I had to include it in mysignature line of home accents. I can’twait to get this edgy piece of linen onmy dining-room table this fall. I’m goingto dress it up with some of my finestpieces, like five-armed candelabras, sil-ver servers, crystal and china, so I havean intriguing look that’s neither humblenor haughty.

I’m also going to use a lot of burlapribbon in my fall decorating because it’sa quick and easy way to add a bit of fallto my home and garden. Burlap ribbonlooks marvelous on fall wreaths, twistedaround topiaries and woven into manteldisplays of autumn vines and berries.

WickerI like the twiggy, uneven texture of

wicker, so this fall it will be front andcenter in my decorating. I’m going touse inexpensive flat wicker trays aschargers on my dining-room table, thentop them with my finest china for a nicecontrast in tone and texture. I selected aset of wicker trays with adorable han-dles I can weave the napkins through.

I’ve long been a fan of cake plates be-cause I think everything looks regalwhen it’s shown off on a footed riser. Sowhen I ran across wicker cake plates,my mind flooded with fun ways I coulduse them this fall. Top one with a trans-ferware to serve appetizers. Use it to dis-

play a pumpkin sitting on a bed of moss,covered with a cloche. Or decorate itwith succulents in rustic French pitchpots.

HoneysuckleWe all adore honeysuckle vines in the

summer, with their sweet-smelling blos-soms. But in the fall, when this vine isstripped of its foliage, it turns into a ver-satile decorating tool. Pick up a coil ofhoneysuckle vine and let your imagina-tion go wild.

Unlike faux vines, real honeysucklecan’t be positioned or bent to fit intoyour arrangements. Instead, it coils nat-urally in wonderful, loose curves. Workthese meandering tan twists into fallwreaths, around summer topiaries or onchandeliers. For killer floral displays, filla large urn with 3- to 4-foot-long fallenbranches, then drape honeysuckle vinearound the branches. Fill in with a med-ley of fall grasses, berries and foliage.

BittersweetEven though bittersweet has long

been a cornerstone of fall decorating, it’sstill a huge hit with me. Right now, I’mcrazy about Oriental blue-and-whiteporcelain vases, and nothing looks bet-ter in them than simple bouquets ofbright orange bittersweet.

It takes just a few seasonal touches here andthere to make your home reflect the beautyof fall. (SHNS/Courtesy Bob Greenspan)

Real Estate Matters

Buyers need to save to purchase, own a home

Ilyce Glink

Tribune Media Services

As credit restrictions remaintight, lenders are requiring morecash to buy a home.

Sure, you can get an FHA loanwith 3.5 percent, but if you want aconventional loan, you may haveto put down at least 20 percent.That’s a hefty nut, even if homesare priced 30 to 40 percent lessthan they were a few years ago.

But don’t forget that you’ll needextra cash to close (unless you’reable to finance your closing costs),to prepay your homeowners insur-ance for the first year (if yourlender requires it), and to ante inyour share of property taxes.

And then there are the fees formoving expenses – not to mentionall the other things you’llneed/want to buy as soon as youmove into your new home.

How much should you savewhen buying a home? My shortanswer: As much as possible.

The costs of home ownership

are steep: real estate taxes, mainte-nance, homeowner’s and perhapsliability insurance and upkeep ofyour new home will be costly.These expenses have only one wayto go and that’s up. Municipalitiesneed more money and will raisetaxes. Maintenance fees only goup, as do insurance premiums.

But you’ll also need to replacelight bulbs, broken fixtures, hotwater heaters and air conditionercompressors, appliances and otheritems that break with use.

Unfortunately, new houses aren’timmune to high home ownershipcosts, as well. If you buy a newconstruction house from a lenderthat took it back from a bankruptdeveloper, there may not be any-one there to make the necessaryrepairs, adjustments and punchlist items new homeowners gener-ally find in the first 90 to 120 andeven 365 days after closing.

Once you own your home,

you’ll be the one responsible forpaying the contractor, plumber orlandscape contractors.

Conservatively, you should stashenough for a hefty down payment,plus your homeowner’s insurancepremium and property tax contri-bution. You should also have sev-eral months of mortgage paymentssaved in an emergency account.

Plan to spend at least $1,000each year on maintaining yourhouse. These funds may includehaving your heating and air condi-tioning units serviced, seal coatingyour driveway, snow removal orlandscaping, painting or tuck-pointing, pest removal or treat-ments, repairing leaks, and repair-ing or replacing appliances.

Hopefully, you won’t have to doall of these things in the same year,but you should plan on having atleast some of these expenses.

One way to help save money isto learn how to maintain a home

yourself.Need to replace a faucet? There

are several excellent videos onYouTube and other sites that willshow you how to do it. Many man-ufacturers have downloadable di-rections on their Web sites withadditional videos and tutorials.

You might be able to paint,change light bulbs and fixtures,and make minor repairs yourself.

You may not be perfect at doingthese jobs yourself at first, but thenice thing about owning your ownhome is you can repaint the dooruntil it’s perfect – or until you’reperfectly satisfied with it.
