DESIGN RECIPES

10 EASY DESIGN IDEAS under $100

5. Repurposed items as shelves From recycled wood to skateboards in a child’s room or family space, it’s time to get creative. Removal wallpaper provides a graphic alternative to paint. (Scott Gabriel Morris/Handout/TNS)

Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service(TNS) What’s wonderful about interior design is that it doesn’t always have to be expensive to look expensive. If you’re looking for affordable ways to refresh your space, here are some Design Recipes hacks, all under $100.

Not sure you want to take the plunge? Try using a removable or temporary wallpaper.

1. Mirrors as a headboard Whether you are using mirrors horizontally to widen a space, vertically to add height or in a grid pattern to mimic windows, this is a great way to bounce light and color in a space.

4. Curtains made from drop cloths Who doesn’t love no-sew curtains? Drop cloths are the perfect weight of cotton for a curtain, especially for those looking for privacy. Grab some drapery pins and attach them to a rod, add grommets, and you’re good to go!

2. Removable wallpaper Wallpaper remains a hot trend.

3. Incorporate industrial elements Industrial pipe can be used for everything from ladder rungs to help hold up shelves.

6. Succulents in sand Tiny succulents are hearty enough to be around for weeks, if not months. Pair them with plain white sand in a glass jar or vessel and you have a beautiful accent piece for your home.

7. Affordable side tables and carts Bar carts or side tables don’t have to be traditional. Garden stools and carts can be used as side tables and decorative accents. 8. Rice paper or other items placed in shadow boxes or plexiglass Rice paper is both modern and neutral. One creative idea is to

place large pieces in frames. 9. Wine glasses as candle holders This is my new “it” idea. Just take wine glasses, flip them over and place a small votive on the bottom, which now serves as the base for your candle. Put something decorative under the mouth of the glass for an even more creative look! 10. Removable wall stickers These are so much fun and can add instant color and graphics to a space.

What summer projects should I plan ahead for? not quite the same thing. They use similar equipment, but power washing tools also heat the water to loosen up dirt or grease, making them more powerful and more dangerous. Given their power and risk, it’s best to talk to a pro to keep from hurting gentle surfaces — or yourself.

Paul F. P. Pogue, Ask Angi (TNS) The warmer months offer the ideal environment for outdoor work! Because of this, many professionals get booked up quickly. Think about these top summer home improvement projects, and call your pro before they get too busy. Repair or replace your roof $350-$1,500 to repair; $5,400-$12,000 to replace Many roof repairs are best done during the summer, which may make it hard to find a pro this time of year. Still, if your roof needs fixing, this is the right time to do it. Many roofing materials require higher temperatures to seal, and the summer sun offers the perfect source. If you’ve had recent storms or damaging bad weather, hire a roof inspector to check it out and catch problems early. You’ll pay an 4

average of $200 for this service, but it’s well worth it to avoid the major issues that can come from a faulty roof. Re-stain deck and fence $550-$1,300 Keep your deck and fence looking like new! Protect exterior wood from the elements with a new stain and finish. Experts recommend reapplying stain or finish every few years for the overall health and longevity of your deck and fence. Staining and sealing protects wood by repelling damaging water while allowing the wood to breathe. Invest in quality sealant — the lower-priced options tend to be thinner and less durable. While you’re at it, inspect your deck for extruding nails, broken boards or loose railing, and look for loose or damaged panels in your fencing. Fixing these problems now will help avoid

more extensive repairs in the future. Repair or replace siding $300-$1,300 to repair; $5,000-$16,000 to replace Examine your siding to see if any of it has loosened or started to rot. Fixing damaged siding as quickly as possible will help keep moisture from turning into mold. If you’re thinking about completely replacing your siding, summer is the best time to bring in a local pro to give your home a face-lift. Power washing $200-$400 Power washing offers a great way to quickly blast dirt and grime from exterior surfaces, such as your house, driveways, siding and decks. Sometimes the term “power wash” is used interchangeably with “pressure wash,” but they’re

Driveway/sidewalk repair $800-$2,600 Sooner or later, any asphalt, concrete or cement surface develops cracks. Moisture, freezing and other weather damage will wear it down. For smaller jobs, you can DIY with crack sealer. However, if the cracks are big or numerous, call a pro. Unskilled application of sealants can cause further damage or leave the driveway or sidewalk looking messy. Pros will also notice things not visible to the untrained eye, such as risky cracks in your home’s foundation or base. Install a ceiling fan $100-$2,000 including labor and fan A balmy summer’s day can be great when sitting by the pool, but keeping comfortable once your family heads inside for the day is just as important. While inexpensive, ceiling fans provide energy-efficient cooling and are a great alternative to AC units. If you’re attaching a fan to existing light box without installing new wiring, this could even be a simple, inexpensive project. However, because it involves electricity, it’s best to call in a pro to avoid any shocking mistakes. Even if your home has central air, installing a ceiling fan can be a great solution for those inbetween temperature days. ____ Tweet your home care questions with #AskAngi and we’ll try to answer them in a future column.

5 easy indoor projects to freshen up your home

(BPT) - There’s no need to go out and buy all new furniture and d√©cor or undertake a major renovation to give your current interior a fresh look and feel small tweaks can make just as big of an impact. Spruce up interior spaces with these five simple do-it-yourself projects that can be tackled over a weekend. 1) Restore and reorganize décor An easy way to give your

living space a mini makeover is to reinvigorate existing décor. Start by repairing any damaged or broken decorative pieces such as frames, vases or display items using DAP RapidFuse Gel Control Applicator. Providing a precise, clean and controlled application on a variety of materials including plastics, wood, rubber, metal, ceramics and more, this gel adhesive is perfect for uneven or vertical applications and sets in just 30 seconds for a completely mess-free repair. Finish up by finding new homes for your prized décor pieces for a completely new look. 2) Update bathroom hardware Nothing dates a bathroom more than an outdated faucet. Give your vanity a facelift by swapping out old fixtures with updated designs to help revitalize the sink. But don’t stop there - replacing stained or worn-down caulk can give the entire bathroom a fresh

look while preventing future moisture damage. Make sure to use a siliconized sealant, such as DAP’s Kwik Seal Ultra. 3) Brighten interior walls Whether you want your space to feel more spacious, a bit brighter or even more soothing, a new paint color can do the trick. Everything from earthy, jewel tones to natural, more neutral aesthetics are trending this year. When selecting your color, sticking within the shade family of one of your longtime favorite colors will help guarantee the color brings you joy for years to come. Looking to ease in? Give an accent wall a shot! 4) Repair holes in the drywall Before you start painting a room, make sure you take the time to repair any nicks, dents or holes in the drywall for a polished and professional finished result. Whether the damage is small from

5) Upgrade lighting If your ceiling is still sporting a decades-old light fixture, revitalize it with something a little more modern. The same goes for lampshades and light fixtures. Swapping these out with new, upgraded looks is a simple and budget-friendly way to update any room in an afternoon. To complete your lighting update, consider replacing your current light bulbs with LED bulbs, which will provide a cooler light while helping reduce your energy bill.

New mortgage refinance program for lower-income homeowners opens Jeff Ostrowski and Zach Wichter Bankrate.com (TNS) A new mortgage refinancing program from Fannie Mae targeted to low- and moderateincome borrowers opened to applicants June 5. With mortgage rates still hovering not far from all-time lows, now is a great time for homeowners to consider a refi. However, many lenders have imposed tight credit standards, which meant some low- and moderate-income homeowners were denied the opportunity to save by refinancing to a lower rate. With that reality in mind, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in April announced a new refinance option for low-income borrowers with mortgages owned by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Freddie Mac’s version of the program, called Refi Possible, will launch August 30. FHFA

estimates that borrowers who take advantage of the new refinance option could save $100 to $250 a month. “Last year saw a spike in refinances, but more than 2 million low-income families did not take advantage of the record-low mortgage rates by refinancing,” FHFA Director Mark Calabria said in a statement. “This new refinance option is designed to help eligible borrowers who have not already refinanced save between $1,200 and $3,000 a year on their mortgage payment.” The new refinance option requires that a refi results in a monthly savings of at least $50, and a reduction in the borrower’s interest rate of at least 50 basis points. For properties not eligible for an appraisal waiver, the program also offers a $500 credit for appraisal fees. The program also lets borrowers with balances of less than $300,000 out of the adverse

market refinance fee that Fannie and Freddie imposed last year. The new program helps spread the refi savings that mainly benefited financially stable homeowners. “The single biggest thing most households can do to take advantage of low interest rates is for homeowners to refinance their mortgages,” says Greg McBride, Bankrate’s chief financial analyst. “Reducing the monthly payments in a meaningful way can create a pathway to accelerate debt repayment or breathing room to boost savings.” Who’s eligible to refinance This refi program has very specific eligibility requirements. To qualify, you must: -Have a mortgage backed by Fannie on a one-unit single-family property. Investment properties and second homes aren’t eligible. (Freddie Mac is expected to start its own similar program this

summer.) -Make 80 percent or less of your area’s median income. Fannie Mae’s income eligibility tool is here; Freddie Mac’s is here. In Chicago, for instance, the income cap for this program is $71,280. -Not have missed a payment in the past six months. Borrowers can have no more than one missed payment in the past year. -Have a loan-to-value ratio of 97 percent or less, a debt-toincome ratio of 65 percent or less and a FICO score of 620 or higher. Borrowers should contact their lenders for more information. Not all lenders will participate in the program, so shop around with various lenders. Homeowners can verify whether they have an eligible loan with Fannie Mae’s Loan Lookup Tool. (Visit Bankrate online at bankrate. com.)

LAWN AND GARDEN

Thistles, the Good, the Bad and the Native Sharon Bokan, Colorado State University Extension Boulder County When we see a plant and it’s prickly, we automatically assume it is a thistle and therefore it is a bad plant. The Oxford Dictionary defines a thistle as “A widely distributed herbaceous plant of the daisy family, which typically has a prickly stem and leaves and rounded heads of purple flowers.” There are 20 thistles native to Colorado and they are desirable plants? Thistles are in the Asteraceae, sunflower (daisy) family. So, resist the urge to pull every prickly plant you see on your property and only pull those that are truly invasive non-native plants. Not every plant that is prickly is a thistle. So how do you identify a prickly plant that you come across to determine if it is native or non-native thistle or not even a thistle? Assuming that you don’t want to have to work through a dichotomous key (how botanists identify plants), there are some simple features that may indicate whether a thistle is either native or non-native. Native thistles normally grow singly or in small groups of two to four and not in massive stands like non-native thistles. Native thistles are usually shorter (less than 4 inches) and have white or paler colored flowers although don’t base your identification on the flower color alone. If you are above timberline,

the thistle is most likely native. Invasive thistles tend to grow taller (4 to 12 feet) and in large, dense stands. Native thistle can either be biennials (two growing season life cycle) or perennials (they live longer than two years). Other plants that may be confused with thistles are Prickly lettuce Lactuca serriola, Prickly poppy Argemone polyanthemos which has a white poppy flower, Prickly sowthistle, Sonchus asper, Yellow starthistle Centaurea solstitialis. With the exception of the prickly poppy, all of these are in the same Asteraceae, sunflower family as the thistles and are nonnatives. The prickly poppy is in the poppy family Papaveraceae and is a native plant. There are five non-native invasive noxious thistles – Bull thistle Cirsium vulgare, Musk thistle Carduus nutans, Scotch

thistle Onopordum acanthium and Onopordum tauricum, Plumeless thistle Carduus acanthoides, Canada thistle Cirsium arvense or Breea arvensis. All of these thistles are biennials (two growing season growth cycle) with the exception of Canada thistle which is a perennial. Biennial non-native thistles are easily managed by keeping them from going to seed. You can do this by pulling or undercutting the rosette (first growing season) or cutting off the flower stalk before it has a chance to produce seed (second growing season). Canada thistle is harder to manage as it lives multiple years and spreads by both seed and roots. The majority of the Canada thistle plant mass is in the roots so managing with the root system is the key to eradicating it. Trying to dig out the Canada thistle root system is

next to impossible. If you don’t get every part of the root system, it resprouts. Some property owners try to manage Canada thistle by pulling or mowing it to keep it from having leaves so it can photosynthesize and store energy in the roots. This works for small infestations, but you have to be very persistent or this method does not work. Organic herbicides only burn the leaves on plants but do not translocate and kill the root system, so they are like pulling or mowing the plants. Synthetic herbicides do translocate and kill the root system and may be the best method to manage large Canada thistle infestations.

Easy Lawn Care

MENARDS—With the outdoor season upon us, there are a few simple ways to help your lawn stay lush and green and become the pride and joy of your neighborhood. You can start by giving your lawn a good raking to create a dethatching effect and “wake up” the lawn for the season. Fertilizing Cutting the grass removes nutrients that need to be replaced to achieve healthy growth. From the beginning of spring, you should fertilize the lawn every four or five weeks. Nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous are important ingredients for a healthy lawn. Application amounts and instructions are available on most fertilizer packaging. • In early spring, start the new season by using crabgrass preventer.

• In late spring, apply weed-n-feed that will kill weeds and help your lawn grow. • By mid-summer or any time apply lawn food for a stronger, healthy & greener lawn. • In early fall, apply winterized fertilizer to provide additional nutrients. Watering How often you need to water your lawn depends on temperature and humidity. When a lawn needs water, the grass will begin to take on a blue-gray tint, and the older grass blades will begin to curl up and

With persistence, you can win the battle against weeds using the right tools, herbicides or weed-n-feed products. Also, the grass roots need air in order to grow, therefore it is important to occasionally aerate your lawn to clear away dead roots and thatch to create more breathing space for the lower parts of the grass plus help stems grow better.

Cutting Regular cutting of the lawn is important because it thickens the grass. Cutting it little and often is better than all in one go. Switch directions and patterns so the grass blades aren’t pressed in the same direction each time. In the middle of summer, you might want to keep the grass a little longer to withstand heat.

I have also had clients who have bought real estate for two, three, or more of their children to live in while attending college. In some cases, this spanned 10 years. Rather than throwing money down the “rent drain,” they have built equity in a real estate investment over this period of time. Here’s a simple worksheet to help you determine the monthto-month expenses for owning a condo or house for your college student while you evaluate if this is the right decision for your family: In my next article, “Part 2: Buying College Housing Starts Now,” I will provide you with a list of items to think about and plan for when deciding whether or not to buy a condo or a house for your college student. In college towns across the country every August, college students start returning for the fall BY DUANE semester, DUGGAN generating a Realtor and Author torrent of real RE/MAX of Boulder estate activity. Because the rental housing market tends to be tight in most college towns, many families consider purchasing a home for their college student to live in while attending school.

You, as a parent, can pick the lifestyle that will help your student succeed in school by choosing the location and the quality of housing that best fits his or her needs. Over the past few years, apartment rents in college towns have typically increased on an annual basis. By purchasing a property with a fixed rate mortgage, your student’s housing expenses will be fixed. In addition, your student won’t have to deal with paying security deposits, going through the hassle of getting the deposit back, or worrying about storing furniture over the summer break. Moreover, during the process of purchasing a home for your student, you will be providing your child with an excellent learning experience. Your student will gain insights into the process of investing in real estate and will also learn about the responsibilities that go hand in hand with property ownership. In my own life, both of my
