White is great choicefor furniture, and notjust during the summerBy Vicki PayneThe Charlotte Observer

I love my whitesofa and chairs. Notjust during the sum-mer but year-round.Every time someonenew visits my housethey always com-ment on how muchthey admire my dec-orative bravery andalways follow upwith, “I would love tosomeday have awhite sofa but in myhouse it will neverhappen.”

I’ve had whitesofas and chairs allmy adult like, main-ly because my par-ents never did andmy mom alwayslonged for an all-white room. I tookthe time to figureout how with kidsand dogs that I couldhave what I wanted.

It starts with theright fabric. Youdon’t choose whitesatin, not that I everwould anyway, butsatin stains and isn’tpet or people friend-ly. Fabrics that canbe washed or dry-cleaned are the best.The pinnacle, ofcourse, is Sunbrellafabric. Yes, the samekind you see on allquality outdoor fur-niture is availablefor interior use.

This fabric isSuperman in a worldof cloth mere mor-tals. Ketchup, mus-tard and red winejust wipe away with

a damp cloth. I’veput it to the testmore than once inmy home and others.I love to eat hot dogsin front of the TVduring the big gameand wash themdown with a goodburgundy.

Still not con-vinced? Go for whiteleather. Pick aslightly textured pat-tern that is soft tothe hand. Leather iseasy to clean andwears well whenjumped on by tod-dlers and slept-on bycouch potatoes.Again, my in-housetesting held up tofive grandkids andlots of family spuds.

Another trick . . .exposed wood arms.The first places toget dirty on anypiece of furniture arethe upholsteredarms. Eliminate thatproblem by selectinga sofa with exposedwood arms so guestscan run their handsup and down themwithout leaving atrace and still bal-ance a beer can orsnack plate.

Still not con-vinced? Let’s talk alittle about lifestylechanges. Over theyears I’ve had whitefurniture and dogs.But you do need tomake some choiceshere. I recommenddogs that don’t shed.I have to say thismight be even moreimportant if you

have a dark-coloredsofa. Dog hair justdoesn’t enhance anyroom’s decor.

I also don’t believepets should beallowed on furnitureunless they are inyour lap and gettingall your attentionand affection. I’vebeen into beautifulhomes with expen-sive designer furni-ture only to have theentire image ruinedwith a beach towelcovering one or all ofthe furniture. Reallyfolks? Is this a doghouse or a peoplehouse? You don’t gosit in their kennel ordog bed. Maybe theyshould show you thesame respect.

Eating on the fur-niture: I have a dou-ble standard here.It’s OK, sometimes,for the adults, but Ithink childrenshould learn to eatat the table orkitchen counter andnot be allowed towander aroundwhile they graze.

Still not con-vinced? I’ve got otherroom alternatives.Bedrooms look greatin white upholsteredheadboards withwhite occasionalchairs and benches.Dining rooms benefitbeautifully fromwhite upholsteredchairs. Consider slipcovers that can beremoved and tossedinto the wash after arowdy dinner party. stwnewspress.com/bestofstillwater

Hire pros forhome repairsBy C. DwightBarnettTribune News Service

Q: I have a ques-tion I alreadyknow the answerto but I thought itmight help otherswho might readyour work. I hireda “handyman” toinstall some pipesin my home toturn a closet into ahalf bathroom. Hegot the pipesinstalled but cutthrough so manyfloor joists I had tohire a carpenter torepair them. Itwas the carpenterwho suggested Iget another opin-ion on the pipeinstallation andwouldn’t youknow it, they werewrong. I hope peo-ple will read thisand hire profes-sionals ratherthan trying save afew dollars.

A: As a homeinspector I often seewhat can happenwhen repairs aremade by an under-qualified worker.When I was abuilder I wouldarrange the timingfor the differenttrades to work oneach job. I wouldalways schedule theelectrician just beforethe drywall washung because sometrades might acci-dentally cut thewires. On more thanone occasion the per-son who cut the wiretried to repair thewires using electric

tape. I have foundhomes where therepairmen had theirown crews do thework usually per-formed by a profes-sional plumber, elec-trician or heatingcontractor.

In one home Ifound the ductworkwas incomplete andwas just lying on theground in the crawlspace.

The people hadlived in the home formonths not knowingwhy the home was sohard to heat. Atanother home theowner complained ofrattling in the waterpipes.

We found that theperson who installedthe copper supplypipes had drug thepipes across thecrawl space floor andpea gravel had beenpulled into the pipes.A plumber wouldhave known better.Just this year Ifound a beautifulhome on a lakewhere a contractor,not an electrician,installed an aeratorpump for the lake.The motor for theaerator was connect-ed to a common 30-amp breaker.

Anytime an elec-tric appliance is nearwater, the breaker oroutlet has to be pro-tected by a groundfault circuit inter-rupter (GFCI). Ihave seen manymore errors andoversights that couldhave been avoided bysimply hiring theproper tradesperson.

By Mary CarolGarrityTribune News Service

Buying a sofafeels a little likegetting married _there is so much toconsider before youpick the one youwant to settle downwith, isn’t there?Which one has thearms, legs, seatsyou’re attracted to?Which one will giveyou a safe place toland when you’replum worn out bylife? Which one doyou want to showoff to all yourfriends? Here arethe four mostimportant things toconsider whenlooking for truelove in a sofa:

1. Arms of loveYour sofa can’t

just be eye candy.It has to work foryour daily life. Sotake a few secondsto list out whatyou’ll be doingwhen you’re set-tling in: Reading?Napping? WatchingTV? Have face-to-face heart-to-heartswith your friends?Then pick an armstyle that will helpyou achieve yourchecklist.

I have aChesterfield sofa inmy own homebecause I like howthe high (shelter)arms wrap aroundme, serving as aback and headrestwhile I read. I’malso crazy about itsclassic lines, withthe tufted back and

nail head trim.I asked Mark

Gilmore, the VP ofsales at CR Laine,to weigh in on thehow-to-pick-a-sofadiscussion, becausehe’s a pro at help-ing people makegreat matches. Ifyou like to nap onyour sofa, Markrecommends arolled arm or asock arm, whichhave lots of softpadding, so theycan act like a pil-low.

Mark says atrack arm is agreat option if youwant a more mod-ern or contempo-rary aesthetic. Healso points out thatwith its thinner,sleeker styling, ittakes up less room,so it may be a goodpick if you haveless space for asofa.

2. Great legsWhat kind of legs

would you like onyour sofa? Exposedor skirted? Turnedor a block leg? Itmay seem like asmall detail, butthe leg you pick foryour sofa will makea big difference inits overall appear-ance.

If you want moreair under the sofa,Mark recommendsan exposed leg thatis longer and thin-ner. At market thisyear, CR Laineshowcased anacrylic leg, aplucky choice thatgave a fun contem-porary finish. I’m a

huge fan of turnedlegs mounted oncastor wheels. Theygive a sofa a time-less, gracious feel.

If you like thelook of a skirtedsofa, and you havepets, I recommenda high-performingfabric you can easi-ly clean: Lots ofdogs (like mine!)love to sleepagainst the sofaand they can leavesofa skirts grungy.Polish from shoescan also stain sofaskirts.

3. Best seat inthe house

In my book, themost importantfeature of a sofa isthat it be sink-intocomfortable.Everybody has adifferent“Goldilocks” point _when the cushionsaren’t too soft ortoo firm, but justright. Spend sometime sitting inprospective sofas tosee which ones feellike bliss to you.Mark says theirtop-selling cushionhas the feel ofdown, soft andcomfy, but it does-n’t actually containfeathers.

Sofas come inlots and lots of dif-ferent cushion con-figurations. One ofmy favorites is abench seat with atight back. TheKnole sofa is agreat example of abench seat. I lovethis look, but it’snot for everybody.Over time, the

bench seat fabricstretches a bit fromuse and appearswrinkled, more softand relaxed.

Another popularpick is a two-over-two or three-over-three style, withmatching seat andback cushions. Thecushions can eitherbe loose orattached, depend-ing upon your pref-erence. If you havelittle kids, and youdon’t want thecushions made intoforts, I’d recom-mend the attachedback cushions!Some seat cush-ions come in “T”shapes, meaningthe outside cush-ions wrap aroundthe front of thearm. This is thestyle you see inlots of traditionalsofas, like thosewith English arms(one of my favoritearm styles). Othersare square, mean-ing all the cush-ions are identical.Mark says one proof the square cush-ion is you canrotate the cushionsaround to keep thewear even.

4. Finish withfabulous fabric

When you buy aquality sofa, youwill have it foryears, so selectupholstery fabricyou love.

My advice is togo with fabric thatis neutral enoughyou can change itslook over andagain just by

switching up yourpillows. I’m blog-ging about thatnext week: How topick pillows thatgive your sofa loadsof character.

Mark says out-door fabrics havealso become a pop-ular option becausethey wear well andclean up easily, agreat choice if youhave kids or pets.

In a perfect worldwe’d all have moneyto build a picture-perfect outdoor liv-ing space. The reali-ty is a down econo-my with manyunemployed andeveryone pinchingpennies. Don’t letthis discourage youfrom creating abeautiful space out-doors to spend thesummer months.The key is paint -the ultimate cover-up and game chang-er for your back-yard.

A gallon of out-door paint costsabout $25, which isa small price to payfor sudden transfor-mation of your tiredbackyard patio.When you let yourcreativity soar theresults can be fargreater than anyother improvementyou make. Thebeauty of paint isit’s cheap and easyto change, so if you

didn’t get the colorright the first time,just paint over withanother.

PAINT A WALLIndoors, painting

one wall of a roomwith a special colorcan change thewhole dynamic ofthe space. It provesyou don’t have topaint the wholeroom to createdrama and contrast.Plus, the paint colordoesn’t have to bedramatically differ-ent, just differentenough to changethe spatial dynamic.

Painting a rearwall of the house ora masonry wall witha well-chosen accentcolor can reallymake a difference. Itmakes a stunningbackground to high-light special plantsor art. Backgroundsets the tone of fore-ground planting,making it stand indramatic high con-trast. Lighting canextend this newperspective with

spots and shadowafter dark. Whetherthe contrast is theshape of the plant orits color, the resultsare instant andrewarding.

STAIN THE FENCESomebody decided

long ago that spray-ing a wood fencewith red stainmakes it look likeredwood. This is notan upgrade becauseeverybody knowsredwood fencesweather to a lovelysilvery patina.Beware of using thisred stain on any-thing in your yardbecause it’s sounnatural and notvisually pleasing. Itjust makes the yardlook like everybodyelse’s uninspiredchoice of phony red-wood stain.

Older repaired or

water-stained fencesneed unification fora more visually sub-tle boundary of thebackyard. If woodstain is colored tocoordinate with thecolor of your housepaint or trim, it uni-fies the building andlandscape. Woodstains come in solidor semitransparentcolor in a hugerange of hues.Semitransparentstain reveals woodstain while addingjust enough color forvintage or countrygarden appeal.Where a more solidlook is preferred,use an opaque stainto create even colorthroughout withoutpeeling problems ofpaint.

UPGRADE OLDCONCRETE

Older homes havepatios that are oftenbadly stained con-crete slabs. Theycan present a morefractured appear-ance due to crackingor where variousslabs meet up.Explore stains thatactually penetratethe concrete ratherthan sitting on top.Professionals use apump sprayer toapply the stains inan irregular waythat lends a beauti-ful marbleized oldworld look. For moreimmediate changesor for tidy appeal,explore the outdoorconcrete paints,which can unify thespace by playingdown the visiblejoints. Choosing justthe right color willprovide the founda-tion of a fresh newliving space.

Using paints and

stains can revampyour yard, deck orpatio for under $50over a single week-end. Try a mutedgray for a simplecontemporary lookor a vivid hot colorfor really festiveappeal. If you get itdone before summerheat sets in, youcan turn your atten-tions to accessoriesand plantings thatcomplete the pic-ture.

When the budgetis tight and sum-mer’s on the way,create a whole newlook and feel onyour tired old patiowith paint or stain.It’s the renter’ssecret weapon tocreating a personallook and feel out-side. Because paint

and stain is so for-giving, you can havefun with these pro-jects.

Take chances. Bebold and creative.The results willsurprise you.

How to get lawn back under controlIf you are behind

on your mowing,rest assured youare not alone! Hereare a few sugges-tions to help youget the lawn backunder control witha minimum of fuss.

If you (or yourlawn care company)fertilizes by the cal-endar, considerskipping an appli-cation to slow thegrowth rate down abit assuming yourturfgrass is alreadynice and green.There are twoexceptions to this.If your grass isweak when com-

pared to the weeds-the grass needs thenitrogen to main-tain a competitiveadvantage so con-tinue to fertilize.The second excep-tion is the type ofturfgrass. Cool sea-son grasses likeTall fescue andKentucky bluegrass

(generally anythinggrowing in theshade) should notbe fertilized underany circumstancesthis time of year.

It is better forthe long termhealth of the grassto raise the mowerheight of cut(H.O.C.) for a time

or two and thengradually lower itback down over thenext few mowingsrather than scalp-ing it off all atonce. A good rule ofthumb is to try notto cut off more than1/3 of the leaf sur-face with a mow-ing. This allows theplant to remainhealthy whileallowing the cut-tings to decomposequickly and easily.

While I under-stand the desire tomow as infrequent-ly as possible, whenthe time spentdealing with exces-

sive clippings isconsidered, littletime is usuallysaved by an addi-tional mowing ortwo.

Another issuerelated to excessivegrowth is of courseweeds. They areeverywhere. Just anote of caution ifyou are consideringspraying: Makesure you under-stand the productand what itwill/will not controlas well as the useinstructions on thelabel.

For example,many products

have “do not spraywhen temperaturesexceed X” warningson the label. This isimportant informa-tion and ignoringcan leave you witha bigger problemthan the weeds inthe form of dam-aged turf or nearbyplants.

Finally, justremember how des-perately dry anddusty things havebeen the last fewsummers.

Our landscapesdesperately neededthis rain and deal-ing with a fewextra mowings

seems like a smallprice to pay.

Brick red-dyedmulch is the equiva-lent of the 1970sorange shag carpet.It was popular forabout two minutesand then became theultimate downerafter the fad passed.Unfortunately, col-ored wood chips arestill around – evenadvertised on TV –which makes nosense when natural-looking alternativesare available.

Mulch is a termapplied to anythingyou spread out ontop of the groundfrom straw to woodchips. While thesemulches are organicmatter, it’s not suit-able for tilling intothe soil and can actu-ally reduce overallfertility if you do. Infact, the bestmulches are madefrom woody organicmatter that resistsdecomposition so itremains effective fora very long time.

When soil is cov-ered with mulchthree good thingshappen. First, theearth is perpetuallyshaded from the hotsummer sun, keep-

ing its surface tem-peratures low soplant roots don’t heatup. Cool roots reducethe plant’s moisturedemand so you don’thave to use so muchwater to keep ithealthy.

Second, mulchesseal in the water.This layer keepsmoisture from rapidsurface evaporationin the summer(direct sunlightquickly dries the soilsurface). A mulchmakes sure everydrop you apply isused to its greatestextent by plants.When there isn’t anydrying betweenwater applications,plants don’t sufferthe wet-dry yo-yoeffect that occurswith fully exposedsoils. Where soil ispredominately clay,mulch helps to pre-vent surface cracksthat expose roots toair and cause uneven

water penetrationwhen you water.

Third, mulchblocks sunlight fromdirect exposure tosoil around plantswhere weed seedsoften sprout. Weedsare successfulbecause they areopportunists adept atrobbing other plantsof soil moisture. Withmulch in place, weedseeds still germinate,but the seedling diesquickly if the newshoot doesn’t reachsunlight. Controllingweed developmentwith a mulch is keyto ensuring there’sno competition forwater.

It is a rule ofthumb that mulchneeds to be at least 2inches deep to pro-vide these three ben-efits. Mulch layerscan be thicker, par-ticularly when usingfluffed up materiallike baled strawbecause it gradually

mats down fromwatering or beingwalked on. Neverpile mulch uparound the base ofany plant be it a treeor a tomato, or yourisk rotting the stemand killing the plant.

Mulches can bedecorative or practi-cal. That red dyedwood chip mulch issupposed to be a dec-orative choice forbeds and borders,but it’s not a naturalcolor. Chips allowedto weather to a moreappropriate hue orearthy ground barkis a much betterchoice.

When you select apractical mulch, itshould be bothcheap and plentiful.You can use bales ofalfalfa or grass haythat are more expen-sive, but if youinquire about spoiledbales, which can nolonger be used forlivestock, they are

much cheaper orsometimes free fromfeed stores. Thesecompacted bales areeasy to transport,fluff up to an incredi-ble amount and don’tcontain any toxins orchemicals. Unlikeother mulches,alfalfa hay containsnitrogen, whichadds some benefitto the soil.

Wait until the soilis fully warm in thevegetable garden

before applyingyour mulches.Warm soil tempera-ture is importantfor seeds andseedlings to enjoy avigorous start.They’ll slow down ifcool soil is shadedtoo early in the sea-son. When tempera-tures start to soarand the surface soildries out by the endof the day, that’s agood time to applymulches.

Whether you’regrowing in drought,cultivating in thedesert, or just wantto save water, usemulches to makeevery drop of thisprecious resourcecount.

Not only will youconserve effectively,you’ll have fewerweeds to pick andplants will retaintheir vigor overthose dog days ofsummer to come.

By David W. Myers

The start of sum-mer brings gooddeals on kitchenitems, tools, sometypes of furnitureand even new car-peting.

DEAR MR.MYERS: I haven’tseen your columnyet on the besthousehold-relateditems to buy inJune so I cansave some money.What gives?

ANSWER: Manyof the best dealsoffered in Juneoften carry into Julyor get even betteraroundIndependence Day,so I figured I’d com-bine the twomonths.

This usually is agreat time to buypots, pans, dishes,small kitchen uten-sils or even amicrowave oven.That’s because suchitems typically showup on June and Julywedding-registrylists, and retailersare willing to cutprices to get theirshare of those sales.

Tools have beenon sale for the pastcouple of weeks inanticipation ofFather’s Day. Butyou’ll likely seeeven bigger dis-counts in July asretailers slashprices on the toolsthat didn’t sell inthe previous month.

There still aresome great dealsout there on newfurniture -- dis-counts of 60 percentor more -- especiallyif you’re willing tosettle for the cur-

rent designs insteadof insisting on thenew models thatwill hit the storeslater this summer.“To be honest,there’s not a lot ofdifference betweenthe current modelsand fabrics and theones that will arrivesoon in showroomsand stores,” a topfurniture stylistsays. “So, why paymore for the sameproduct?”

It may seem odd,but many carpetretailers and carpetinstallers also arewilling to offer dis-counts now. Onereason is that home-owners focus on hir-ing roofers duringthe summer whilethe weather is goodand their work canget done before therainy seasonarrives. The pricingpower slowly shiftsback to carpet sell-ers and installers inthe fall and winter,because they canwork inside insteadof on a slippery roof.

* * *DEAR MR.

MYERS: We are

buying our firsthome, but we’reconfused aboutwhat date weshould have thetransaction close.My sister, whoknows a lot aboutreal estate, saysthat we shouldclose on the firstday of the month.Our real estateagent, though,says we’ll savemore money if weclose at the veryend of the month.What do youthink?

ANSWER: Takeyour agent’s adviceand close yourtransaction at ornear the end of themonth.

Unlike rent,which is paid inadvance, mortgagesare paid in arrears.In an example pro-vided by mortgagegiant LendingTree,if you closed on a$200,000 home loanat 5 percent on the15th of this month,you’d owe 15 daysof interest at $27.40per day. That’s atotal of $411.

If you instead

closed on the 29th,you’d owe only$54.80 in interest atclosing and wouldn’thave to make yoursecond paymentuntil August. That’sa savings of $356.20in out-of-pocketcash -- money thatcould come in handyto pay moving-relat-ed expenses or buysome small itemsfor your new home.

* * *DEAR MR.

MYERS: I am hop-ing that you’llwarn your read-ers about animportant prod-uct recall regard-ing a popular newtype of “swing-ing” chairs. Webought twoRamart SwingChairs from theHomeGoods retailchain in May, andmy husband frac-tured his wristjust a few dayslater when the

chair tipped over.We have sincereceived a noticethat the chairsare beingrecalled. Thenotice came toolate to protect myhusband, butmaybe you canprotect others byincluding ourstory in your col-umn.

ANSWER: I’mhappy to do so. Thefederal ConsumerProduct SafetyCommission issued arecall for about 300of the Ramart chairson June 11, barelythree months afterthey began appear-ing in many of theroughly 400HomeGoods storesacross the nation.

According to theCPSC, the recallinvolves green,apple-shaped swingchairs and brown,teardrop-shapedswing chairs. They

hang from a chainconnected to a metalstand with a circle-shaped base.HomeGoods hasreported about adozen injuries due tothe malfunctions,including at leastone suffered by aninfant.

The chairs, whichsold for about $400each, are made fromplastic rattan andhave red cushions.They measure about42 inches in diame-ter and are 43 inchestall, with a 48-inch-wide seat cushion.The stand that theyhang from measuresabout 77 inches tall.

The governmentsays that consumerswho own thesechairs should stopusing them immedi-ately. HomeGoods isacting responsibly bygiving a full refundfor each chair that’sreturned.

Details about thereturn program canbe obtained by call-ing the retailer at800-888-0776between 9 a.m. and6 p.m. EasternStandard Time, orby visitingwww.homegoods.comor cpsc.gov on theInternet.

TheHomeGoods/Ramartrecall is the secondinvolving hangingchairs in recentweeks. On June 4,cut-rate retailer BigLots recalled a stag-gering 16,000 chairsmade in China dueto tip-over concerns.Details of the buy-back plan are avail-able by calling BigLots toll-free, 866-224-5687, Mondaythrough Fridaybetween 9 a.m. and5 p.m. EST, or byvisiting biglots.comor the CPSC’s web-site.

Call this decoratingtrend an orange crushBy Vicki PayneThe CharlotteObserver

“I’ll have anOrange Crush,please.” Thisrequest just hassummer written allover it.

Nothing tastes asgreat as an icy-cold,just-out-of-the-cool-er orange drinkwhen the sun heatsup the sky.

While orange isconsidered a “hot”color, it is reallycool and calming.Perhaps that’s whythe color has stay-ing power, just likesoda pop.

Tangerine Tangowas an instant hitwhen it was intro-duced in 2012 asPantone’s color ofthe year. Peopleembraced all ver-sions of orange farbetter than the pre-vious year’sHoneysuckle, abubblegum pinkshocker.

Emerald,Pantone’s color ofthe year for 2013,faded before it everhit the big time.Orange, on theother hand, hasbecome one of ourclassic neutral col-ors. Women’s clos-ets that were oncea sea of black andwhite now hostislands of orangeclothing, handbagsand shoes.

In home decor,never has a bright-and-bold color _ not

even red _ hadquite the sameeffect on designersand homeowners.Today’s orangeshades range froma warm yellow-orange that bright-ens a navy blueroom to a softermelon orange thatblends beautifullyon any patio.

Orange is a nat-ural when usedoutdoors. It goeswith all of MotherNature’s greensand floral colors.Red clashes withyellow flowers,cheapening theirimpact and impres-sion. Orange puts asunny face on a bedof yellow flowersjust as perfectly asit heats up a con-tainer of red gera-niums. This is whyI love the paleorange and whitelounge furniture byO.W. Lee.

Indoors, orangeis easy to decoratewith and harmo-nizes with manycolor groups. Myfavorite pairingsare with gray, navy,sky blue, white,taupe, browns andpinks.Manufacturers areresponding to thedemand for orangewith great fabricsin solids and prints.

A real show-stop-per is the HugChaise by JessicaCharles. Part faint-ing couch andlounge reclinerwith gentle button

tufting, it is suit-ably namedbecause it hugs youin the most com-fortable manner. Itsslight S-curvedesign helps it con-form to a body’scurvature.

Don’t think oforange just for fur-niture. Considerpainting yourwalls, or one wall, amellow shade oforange. Furnishthat room with blueor taupe pieces. Besure to bring a lit-tle more of theorange back intothe room throughpillows, rugs, lampsor even a bowl oforanges right fromthe market.

When you gettired of the sameold refreshments,why not trulyrefresh yourselfand your roomswith an orangecrush?

Keep your tax dollars at home...

By Cathy HobbsTribune News Service

In most homes,the laundry room isone of the mostused spaces, yetoften the most dis-carded. Laundryrooms are oftensmall, dark andnot seen as anopportunity forgreat design.

With preplan-ning and organiza-tion, it’s easy to notonly maximize thepotential of thespace, but also cre-ate more ease ofuse and functional-ity – the key to cre-ating a great laun-dry room.

GETTING START-ED

Laundry roomsneed to work on anumber of differentlevels, with func-tion being at thetop of the list.Make sure yourlaundry room pro-vides the functionit is intended to.Whether yourspace is only largeenough for laundrymachines or if it’s aspace where laun-dry is to be alsodried and folded,set up your spacewith function inmind.

MAXIMIZE SPACEIn many

instances, smaller,

more streamlinedmachines can per-form the sametasks as the largebulky ones thattake up more space(as opposed to pro-

viding a significantamount ofincreased loadcapacity). To maxi-mize space, I tendto recommendstackable

machines.ORGANIZE

From your deter-gents to your cloth-ing, there are sev-eral ways to suc-

cessfully organizeyour laundry room.

Some of my toptips include:

• Hanging bas-kets to separatewhite and colored

clothing• Using a book-

shelf filled withpull-out bins tohouse laundry sup-plies

• Using kitchen

cabinets to createorder and organiza-tion

• Placing clearbins on shelves sosupplies are easy tofind
