PURGE IS THE WORD

Begin with four boxes: Keep, donate, trash, and other room. The toys that are broken, throw away without question. A toy that never held the interest of your child needs to be given away. Bath toys, clothing, the stolen remote control, or outdoors toys need to be put back in their proper places. If something is being held on to simply for nostalgia, i.e. little John-ny’s very first teddy bear, create a memory box or a special shelf for that item.

QUALITY NOT QUANTITYAsk yourself: “Which toys does my child gravi-tate towards, and which toys does my child get bored with?” Perhaps not everything should be given away, but consider rotating the play things to create fresh interest. A clear bin or two can be filled with the less appealing items, labeled, and put into a closet. On a bi-weekly or monthly basis, switch out the playroom stash for a re-newed sense of playtime.

LABEL, LABEL, LABELWith so many different types of things to keep track of, it’s easy to become confused about what goes where. For the things that are keep-ing their permanent space in the playroom, designate containers and label them accord-ingly. For those with pre-readers in the home, not only include the word, but the picture of the item too. This serves a dual purpose of word recognition and getting toys back to the right spot.

Sources: theidearoom.net, hgtv.com

TAME THE LOOSE PIECESThings like board games and puzzles can eas-ily get their pieces separated. Once just a few pieces are lost, the whole thing can no longer be used, so it’s important to keep these togeth-er. For puzzles, try framing the box cover and storing the puzzle pieces on the back of the frame. This serves as both decor and a practical way to keep it all together and up off the floor. For games, take them out of the box and store them in identical, easily stackable containers. Keep puzzles and board games out of reach, so you can keep track of what is being used. Be sure to establish the “one at a time” rule.

HIDE IT AWAYCurtains can be used to cover and uncover the monstrosity of a toy shelf that sits in the room. Containers under a bed can be slid in after use. A bench with cube storage can be great as a reading nook, and even double as a bookshelf. A small ottoman that your child can sit on, that also has room for dress up clothes or other toys, will help contain the mess that no one will know is there.

Don’t get discouraged if it takes a while for your children to understand the new system. They will get the hang of it. On the other hand, if the mess stays messy, take a deep breath, and enjoy your little ones because as we all know, “they grow up so fast!”

Throughout our daily lives, we often find ourselves with a fairly organized home. The kitchen

is in order. The beds stay made most of the time. Our living room remains inviting for drop-by

visits. However, as those with children may attest to, the playroom somehow stays the “Bermuda

Triangle” of the house, confusing and messy enough to get lost in. Here are some secrets to

getting that playroom under control.

2 WAYS TO DEFINE YOUR SPACE WITH AREA RUGS

5EXCITING DESIGN OPTIONS CAN SOMETIMES BECOME DAUNTING WHEN YOU

ACTUALLY BEGIN TO PLACE FURNITURE IN AN OPEN-CONCEPT HOME. WITHOUT

WALLS TO DEFINE SPACES, WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?

AREA RUGS ARE A KEY ORGANIZATIONAL TOOL FOR DESIGNING ROOMS WITHIN LARGE SPACES. WITH A BEAUTIFUL RUG, YOU MAY OUTLINE A FOYER WHERE NONE EXISTED, CREATE A DINING ROOM OR DEFINE A CONVERSATION AREA. THOUGHTFUL PLACEMENT OF AN AREA RUG GIVES IDENTITY TO A SPACE AND CREATES TRAFFIC FLOW THAT MAKES SENSE.

CREATE AN INVITING FOYERWhen your front door opens straight into the room without a designated foyer, you can build the illusion of one with an area rug. This chevron wool rug is a good example of creating a welcoming entrance and makes a nice contrast to the hardwood. Build on the foyer feel by adding a small piece of furniture and some art.

ANCHOR YOUR LIVING ROOMWhile big rooms and tall spaces are the inviting aspect of an open-concept home, they also bring a challenge for organizing a cozy space for hanging out. This beauti-ful living space was undefined until this patterned rug crafted an inviting and cozier conversation area. With high ceilings and big windows, the rug provides an anchor to the room and draws the eye down from the big spaces, making the room feel friendly.

DEFINE THE DINING AREAJust because your home lacks a traditional dining room doesn’t mean you can’t have one. In this contemporary living space, a large rug creates a dining area. Without walls to create tangible zones, a rug is needed to organize the space into useful areas. When choosing an area rug for under your table and chairs, make sure the rug is large enough for the chairs to scoot back from the table without falling off the edge of the rug.

OUTLINE HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS

Larger spaces often mean there are multiple entrances and exits to both the outdoors and other rooms. This indoor-outdoor rug not only is visually appealing, but it can handle the traffic from the French doors. More importantly, it creates a traffic pattern.

GO OUTSIDELarge patios can also be transformed into defined, open-air living spaces. A durable outdoor rug can carve out a great outdoor living room from a space without definite borders. This brown rug centers the seating area in front of a fireplace, creating an inviting, cozy space.

With walls coming down in remodels and new homes reflecting open-concept design trends, as a professional organizer, I’ve found that rugs provide comfort and beauty while organizing and maximizing space.

EXCITING DESIGN OPTIONS CAN SOMETIMES BECOME DAUNTING WHEN YOU

ACTUALLY BEGIN TO PLACE FURNITURE IN AN OPEN-CONCEPT HOME. WITHOUT

WALLS TO DEFINE SPACES, WHERE DO YOU BEGIN?

WHEN IT COMES TO HOME RENOVATION, it’s smart to focus on improving the home’s most-used rooms, not only for

increased functionality and enjoyment, but also to boost the resale value.

Kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms and game rooms top the list

of rooms homeowners would most like to remodel, according to a recent

Ranker.com survey. To better the most-used areas of your home, including

those cited in the survey, consider the following:

1. BOOST AIR QUALITYAir flow is critical to the health of your home and everyone who lives in it.

Ventilation in kitchens and bathrooms carries away excess moisture that

can cause mold and mildew, and creates a fresher, more healthy environ-

ment by exhausting stale indoor air. Bathrooms should be equipped with

exhaust fans and kitchen hoods should vent to the exterior of your home

whenever possible.

2. FRESHEN THE “FOUNDATION”A solid foundation is essential for a home, but that doesn’t just mean sturdy

flooring. Wall and trim color are fundamental elements in any room. Simply

repainting walls and woodwork can completely change the look of a room.

Even just a fresh coat in the existing color will make the room look brighter

and newer.

3. MAX OUT STORAGEInstalling organizational systems in rooms where clutter typically

collects is an easy, cost-effective way to improve the function of the

room. In bedrooms, maximize closet space with ready-made units you

can install yourself, or hire a professional closet organizer to custom-fit

units to the space.

4. SWAP APPLIANCES AND FIXTURESOutdated features are not only aesthetically displeasing; they can also

cost much more to use than newer models. Replacing old faucets,

shower heads, dishwashers and washing machines with energy

efficient alternatives can reduce bills and give kitchens and bathrooms

a whole new look.

5. WELCOME NATURAL LIGHTMost rooms in the home look better with natural lighting, and more

daylight can help reduce the need for artificial lighting. Adding skylights

and solar-powered window coverings are practical ways to bring more

natural light into virtually any room, and you’ll recoup the investment

in no time.

Out of all of the rooms in the house, your bedroom should be the most personal. It should be your getaway from the chaos, and your sanctuary after a long day. Many folks find the opposite to be true of their bedroom. It maybe the catch-all for the things without a place, or be the go-to hideaway for messes from the other part of the home when guests are on their way over.

We’ve put together a few tips to help keep your bedroom as stress-free as possible.

MAINTAININGA STRESS-FREEBEDROOM

THE NOSE KNOWS Although the science behind smells can be very in-depth, the short of the mat-ter is that smells are directly linked to our emotions. The cells for our nose carry the signals of smell to our brain’s limbic system, and directly to the amyg-dala, which is involved in emotional learning and memory. This means, if there are any smells that you have a positive association with, such as the popular choices of lemon, lavender, or orange, then bring those scents into your room. One option is a diffuser with essential oils. Keep smelly dirty laundry at a minimum.

LIGHTING If you have any harsh lighting in your room, such as a fluorescent light, it has to go. Curtains are great for helping control your light-ing options. Open them in the daytime for a sun-lit look, and close them at night for optimal sleep. As a matter of fact, a good night’s sleep is huge in keeping our stress levels low. The darker the room for sleep, the better.

ORGANIZATION IS IMPORTANT If your bedroom looks more like a war zone than an oasis, then start purging! Clothes should be put away promptly, the bed should be made daily, and anything that can go into a different room of the home should be taken out. If you find the bins and dressers in your room are overflowing, then it’s time to give away or sell some of the excess clothing or accessories. There are even services out there that offer “closet edits” to help sort through your clothes and keep them organized.

ELECTRONIC FREE ZONE The age of easy access electronics is well in motion. Amidst the buzz of everyday life, your bedroom should be the one place that no phones, laptops, or screens of any kind reside. Besides being plain old distracting, electronics emit a blue light that literally suppresses the release of melatonin, the neurotransmitter that regulates our sleep wake cycle. We are so often immersed in electronics that we forget the sweet sound of silence and our own thoughts. Make your bedroom the place where you can journal, read, or even stretch.

MAKE IT UBER PERSONAL Put up those mushy pictures of you and your significant other that no one else wants to see. If you have any inspirational quotes that get you motivated, put them up in your bedroom where you will see them first thing in the morning. Sweet sentimental items could be dis-played on shelving and in shadow boxes. Whatever reminds you of your favorite memories should have a place in your bedroom sanctuary.

We all need that one room in our home that we can concentrate on keeping organized. Make that room your bedroom. Stress is one of the top things that can affect us the most, but is often ignored or overlooked. We hope these tips help in keeping your bedroom as stress free as possible.

Whether you’re a new homeowner

or have been handy with a wrench,

snake and other tools for years,

there are some situations that re-

quire more than a plumbing ama-

teur’s skills.

From the kitchen sink to the toilet

and pipes underneath your home,

these problems can occur at any

time. As a homeowner, you should

know how to handle them and when

to call a professional.

When the water that’s sitting in a bathtub, toilet or sink

won’t go down the drain, you have a problem. Start the re-

pair process by first determining what caused the problem.

Is it a clump of hair or a grease build-up? Something worse,

perhaps? Whatever the case, finding out about the problem

first is essential to finding a solution.

Most toilet clogs can be handled with your trusty plunger.

The clog in your drain will likely go away if you use a

commercial grade drain cleaner. In this case, be sure to

wear gloves and a protective mask at all times.

If the clog persists after a few times, it might be time to

call the professionals. You don’t want to overdo it with

the drain cleaner because you might end up hurting

yourself and damaging the pipes.

Professional plumbers have tools that can help identify

the problem much easier, such as snakes and video

cameras. They’ll be able to use one of their many de-

clogging tools to remove your clog in no time.

CLOGGED DRAINS OR TOILETS

DIY TIPS FOR COMMON

PLUMBING PROBLEMS

NO HOT WATERLack of hot water is an issue that millions of people across

the United States experience on a daily basis. If you have

an electric water heater, some of the causes may be a

tripped circuit breaker, a bad thermostat or a faulty electric

heating element. Once you’ve finished the troubleshooting

process, the best thing to do is to replace any parts that

you find are broken. Most plumbers have extensive

knowledge of water heaters and should be contacted

immediately.

Source: Mammoth Plumbing

BURST PIPERegardless of the reason, a burst pipe can cause thou-

sands of dollars in damage if not rectified in an appropriate

amount of time. The best way to fix a burst pipe is with a

C clamp. The first step is to turn off the water completely.

Then, place a piece of rubber over the exposed area of

the pipe. Secure the rubber by placing a piece of wood on

top and then tightening down both pieces with a C clamp.

Make sure you tighten the C clamp until both the piece of

wood and rubber are secure.

In most cases, burst pipes can only be fixed temporarily

by homeowners. Once you’ve turned off the water and

secured the pipe, call a professional; they might have to

replace the pipe altogether.

LEAKY FIXTURESA leaky fixture, such as a faucet, can be extremely an-

noying. Luckily, you only need a few tools and some basic

knowledge to fix this type of problem.

If this simple process doesn’t work, you may need to

replace some necessary parts, such as washers or nuts, or

it may be time to get a new faucet altogether.

First, remove the handle by removing the screw that

attaches it to the faucet. Then, try tightening the packing

nut which is located at the base of the stem. After you’ve

tightened this nut, place the handle back onto the faucet

and test to see if the leak is gone.

WHETHER IT’S A JUST A VIBRANT POP OF PRETTY PETALS YOU WANT ADDED TO THE FRONT OF THE HOME, OR A RAISED BED FULL OF DELICIOUS FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, THE RETURN OF WARMER WEATHER HAS MANY HOMEOWNERS REACHING FOR THEIR GARDENING GLOVES.

If you’re ready to try out your green thumb or dust off the gardening skills you long ago

acquired, there are plenty of ways to achieve the lush vegetation you desire. Check out these

tips and tricks for cultivating a thriving and productive garden of any variety.

START WITH A PLAN. Different flowers and plants require different sun, soil and water

needs. Keep these factors in mind and consult the seed packets to plan out where each should

be placed. Many apps are available to take the guesswork out of gardening, helping you create

a perfectly organized plant or flower bed. Some even offer reminders for watering, fertilizing

and more.

KEEP WATER IN MIND. Make sure your plan includes a close proximity from plant bed

to the water supply.

BE SMART WITH SOIL. Whether it’s a flower or vegetable garden bed or containers,

the secret’s in the soil, where roots develop and sustain life. Invest in the proper tools to keep

this foundation strong and improve water and nutrient retention, keeping vital elements in the

root zone longer.

PLANT CLOSE TO HOME. If you have room, try to grow your plants as close to the

home as possible. This makes watering less of a task, and also makes it easier to get to your

precious vegetables when it’s time to harvest.

OPT FOR A PERMANENT SOLUTION. There’s no doubt that gardens require

seasonal upkeep, but you can find some ways to ease the tasks. One such solution is a

Soil Modifier, which permanently improves the root zone by adding air-and-water holding

capacity in all types of soil (unlike peat that needs to be tilled into gardens each year.)

The result is better drainage when it’s wet, better water-holding capacity when it’s dry,

deeper root growth and healthier plants.

LABEL AWAY. Know exactly where you planted each seed with cute, natural labels.

Simply use a permanent marker to mark each plant name on stones in front of each plant row.

BE A GREEN GARDENER. Always opt for eco-friendly, pesticide-free products to use

in your garden, when possible. Products filled with chemicals can be harmful to animals when

carried through the air with wind.

So, dust off that shovel, tighten up the hose and get to growing. Once you have the right

plan in mind, you’ll be on your way to achieving the flower or fruit and vegetable garden

of your dreams.
