However, homeowners may not realize the presence of drafts and air leaks throughout the home can lead to temperature fluctuation and higher than normal heating bills. Drafts and gaps in insulation coverage can be a major contributor to increased utility bills, as well as inefficient performance of HVAC equipment. Conditioned air continually escapes the home, leaving the HVAC equipment to work overtime to compensate in an effort to reach the thermostat’s set temperature. Air leakage from walls, windows, ceilings and floors can account for up to 40 percent of the energy lost by your home, potentially costing homeowners thousands of dollars annually. Plus, the U.S. Department of Energy suggests air leakage contributes to potential moisture problems that can affect occupant health and the home’s durability. Homeowners can reduce air leakage in several ways, and the U.S. Department of Energy recommends homeowners take a comprehensive approach. First, detect where the air leaks are within your home. A certified HERS Rater will be able to help you identify such areas, as well as help assess your ventilation needs for indoor air quality. Once all sources of air leaks have been identified, air sealing techniques and materials can be applied. Caulking and weather-stripping are two of the most popular and common techniques that can help address air leaks. However, building experts will suggest considering solutions that go further in terms of air-sealing by selecting a high-performance building material like spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation, such as Icynene, works well in all climates to seal the building and fill every gap to stop air leakage and help reduce the strain on HVAC equipment. As a solution that performs effectively year-round, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature while helping to control monthly heating and cooling expenses. Additionally, spray foam insulation helps minimize random airborne moisture and pollutants from entering the home, ideal for anyone who suffers from seasonal allergies once the snow melts and spring arrives. More information on how spray foam insulation can help homeowners minimize air leakage is available online at www.icynene.com.

While the end-product is often fulfilling, the remaining cleanup never is. However, having a clean, organized workshop you can easily maintain isn’t impossible. Here are eight workshop cleanup and organization tips to eliminate the dust, grime and clutter that’s there, and prevent the messes yet to come. 1 Utilize ceiling space. Many projects need all the surface area you can get, so when it comes to storing tools or placing extra extension cords, utilize available space above. It’s a great spot to hang wire baskets to get seldomused tools out of the way, and place hooks for getting extension cords off the floor. 2 Choose the right tool. The best way to remove dust is to do so at the source. The Dremel brand’s VRT1 combines a versatile rotary tool with a shop vacuum to cut out the cleanup and clear dust as you work. The tool connects to standard wet/dry vacuum hoses and adapters, and intake ports on the tool itself collect airborne dust and debris. It’s a great asset for a dustless workshop, especially with sanding, engraving and polishing jobs or when working with dusty materials like wood and drywall. To find other Dremel tools for your clean and organized workshop, visit www.Dremel.com. 3 4 Install magnetic strips. Hand tools, measuring tape and other small items have a way of going rogue while you’re mid-project. Rather than throwing them into a big, cluttered bin, install a few rows of magnetic strips along the wall of your workspace. It’s an easily visible place to store these smaller items that often go missing. Include a retractable vinyl window shade. The work table often gets the brunt of the mess from glue spills and paint to dents and dust. Attaching a retractable vinyl window shade to the side of your work table enables you to pull down a protective cover over your workspace when you need it. The best part is, most materials can be easily wiped or scraped off the vinyl when the project is finished, leaving a cleaner, mess-free work table. 5 Consolidate with a battery charging station. Misplaced battery packs can delay progress during a project. Avoid the stress and consolidate all of your battery packs into one, central battery charging station. Create a long tray out of wood or metal and place with a dedicated power strip. Use this area as the landing space for all your battery packs, so next time a power tool runs low on juice, you can quickly replace it and keep your projects going. 6 Create a garbage station. Running scraps to the garbage, searching for a broom and dustpan, and finding extra garbage bags is a tiring and unwanted step when you’re in the middle of a project. To keep from making multiple trips back and forth to the garbage, create a handy garbage station that corrals the broom, garbage container and extra liners in one spot. Place these items on a tray with wheels and it easily becomes a mobile station so you can get rid of the garbage as you go. 7 8 Cover walls with chalk paint. Sometimes an organized workshop involves making a space for your creative ideas. Rather than cluttered notebooks and binders of notes, paint the walls of your workshop in chalk paint so you can jot down notes, measurements, timelines and plans in an easily visible spot. This keeps your big ideas top of mind and holds you accountable to any deadlines you have set. Wipe up water. Dust loves water. Water spills around the workshop are a great way to ensure the dust spreads and stubbornly sticks to where it shouldn’t. To prevent dust from clinging to every surface, ensure your workspaces are dry prior to working with dusty materials like wood and drywall. With a little work, the right tools and a plan in mind, an organized, dust-free workshop is right within reach. December 2015 8 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes Fight roof damage from ice dams E before it’s too late ach winter, the inevitable happens as snow falls and the temperature inside and outside the home fluctuates — icicles form. While icicles are considered a common sight throughout the colder months, they can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home. While homeowners may not realize it, icicles are the result of ice dams that form on the roof. Ice dams can silently wreak havoc on roofs, leaving a trail of damage unseen until the snow and ice has all melted away. Wet insulation, damaged shingles, broken eaves and downpipes, and potential mold and mildew can be the result of ice dam formation. Ice dams occur when key areas of your home’s roof space are under insulated. Warm, conditioned air penetrates through the roof to melt snow high on the roof. As the melted snow travels down the roof to the colder areas around the eaves, it refreezes, creating both an ice dam and icicles that trap any melted water underneath. This melted water eventually penetrates back through the roof into the attic space to dampen the existing insulation, which can lead to mold and mildew problems. While it’s tempting to climb onto the roof and attempt to fix the problem yourself, it is dangerous to do so, as is trying to chip away the icicles from the ground. Energy Star recommends taking several steps to address the chance of ice dam formation before winter hits. Prevent ice dams with spray foam insulation Start defending against ice dams early by clearing away leaves and other debris from the eaves before the first snowfall. Energy Star suggests sealing your ducts as well as any air leaks before investing in additional insulation. Once you’ve taken these initial steps, you can help prevent ice dam formation by installing a high performance insulation material such as spray foam insulation. The airtight seal and high R-value delivered by spray foam insula- tion, such as Icynene, helps prevent any warm air from escaping through the roof, which leads to icicles and ice dams. Installed by professionals, spray foam insulation works well in all climates to completely seal the building and stop air leakage. Not only does this help reduce the risk of ice dams forming, but also help reduces the strain on HVAC equipment that has to work overtime to compensate for the lost air. Spray foam insulation both insulates and air seals the home to help homeowners reduce their monthly heating and cooling bills. As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature year round while helping to control monthly heating and cooling expenses. While air leakage can cause bills to sky-rocket as well as lead to ice dams occurring, a well-insulated attic can help you get through the cold winter months comfortably. More information on how spray foam insulation can help curb icicles and ice dams can be found online at Icynene.com.

Massachusetts, Sedalia 80645236 December 2015 12 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes Warm up to luxury bathroom upgrades this winter Back-to-school and the holidays aren’t the only welcome seasons that arrive with cooler weather. Fall and winter are also a great time to make some luxury upgrades to your home. With children back in school and holiday guests on the way, you have the perfect window of time — and incentive — to make changes to important rooms, such as bathrooms. Renovating a bathroom pays off in multiple ways, and the more you invest, the greater your potential returns. A luxury bathroom can make a home more appealing to buyers if you’re planning to resell; in fact, an upscale bathroom renovation returns nearly 60 percent of your investment, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value Report. If you’re not selling, adding innovative, upscale improvements to your bathroom can enhance your enjoyment of the room, improve its usability and even help you conserve water and money. If you’re planning to improve a bathroom during cooler weather, here are key areas where you can create a luxury effect with innovative materials: Fixtures Bathroom fixtures account for a significant portion of a home’s total water usage, plus they’re key elements in the room’s overall design. The toilet you choose for your bathroom renovation influences the room’s water efficiency, and can contribute to a streamlined, elegant appearance. For example, TOTO’s Vespin II 1G toilet uses innovative Tornado technology to deliver a powerful, high-performance flush, using a mere 1-gallon of water. One-piece construction and CeFiONtect nanotechnology glaze mean the Vespin imparts an elegant look while staying cleaner and reducing the need for harsh detergents, which saves money and is better for the environment.

Overhead lighting, illumination around the vanity area, shower lighting and night-time illumination are key considerations when planning how you’ll light your bathroom. Imagination and innovation can help you create a lighting scheme that complements your overall design. For example, rather than the light bars typically used above mirrors, consider sconces on either side of the mirror paired with dimmable recessed lighting in the ceiling above the vanity area. Recessed lighting is also a great way to illuminate a shower, but it’s far from the only option. Lights at the base of the shower, inset into the tile work, or even illuminated showerheads add a touch of luxury. The arrival of cool weather is the perfect time to create the bathroom of your dreams — before holiday guests arrive. What’s more, most contractors have more availability after summer. You could get a better deal and see your project accomplished in less time if you have the work done in fall and winter. December 2015 16 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes ! ?

There’s nothing worse than worrying about the security of your home — or your rising electric bill — while you’re away. Fortunately, recent advancements in home technology offer peace of mind when it comes to energy efficiency, security and time savings. Almost any home can be put on “autopilot” without breaking the bank. Many areas of the home can benefit from some simple technology upgrades. Efficiency Heating and cooling a home accounts for 50 percent or more of a home’s energy bill, so it’s important to incorporate the latest technology to make it as easy as possible to be as efficient as possible. “We have seen some great advance- ments in home technology that maximize the energy efficiency of heating and cooling products,” says Kyle Golden, an energy efficiency expert with Lennox, a leading provider of home comfort solutions. “For example, as thermostats become more advanced, homeowners now have the ability to optimize home comfort and energy savings.” One example of these smart thermostats is the Lennox iComfort S30. Homeowners can maximize energy savings through its one-touch smart away mode, which detects when family members leave and return to the home and automatically adjusts to an energyefficient setting. The iComfort S30 also is the only thermostat that offers first-of-its-kind real-time air quality monitoring. Water usage also is a concern when it comes to efficiency.

With your busy schedule and full to-do list, the key to successful entertaining is to keep it simple. If you’re like most people, you’re probably breaking out your traditional holiday decorations — but why not take it up a notch this year? Here are some easy ideas to instantly rejuvenate your home, wow your guests and create a welcoming environment: Restyle your shelves If the shelves in your living or dining room are full of books and baskets the rest of the year, take a moment to declutter. Stash those everyday items away and replace them with elegant holiday décor like pretty dishes, serving pieces or china you’re not already using on the dinner table. You can also sneak in pops of color with ornaments and sprigs of pine. Wow your guests with new window treatments Dressing up your windows is an easy way to give a room a fresh look, just in time for company to arrive. Consider motorized window coverings for comfort and convenience, as well as energy savings. Your holiday budget will appreciate it year after year. Combined with timers and sensors, your draperies and blinds will adjust automatically, while you enjoy your company. With the myLink(tm) app from Somfy, you can use your tablet or smartphone to control your window treatments while at home or away. Create the perfect sunrise or sunset scenery with a built in clock that adjusts daily, optimizing the natural light in your home. For more information on motorization, visit somfysystems.com. Create a cheerful greeting display Don’t just stuff all those holiday cards in a drawer or basket — show off your favorites in a festive way. Weave a colorful ribbon along the banister of your staircase or a blank wall and use clips or clothespins to string them throughout. When guests come over, they’ll love seeing themselves featured in your display. Balance your color palette While bright red and green tend to be the favored holiday hues, this color scheme isn’t for everyone. If you find yourself shying away from these colors, opt for metallic tones like silver, gold and bronze. These shades bring warmth and cheer to a room without taking away from your existing décor. Dazzle with lights Less is more when it comes to sophisticated holiday lights. If you tend to have more guests to your home during the holidays, it’s important to keep your walkways and paths brightly lit, especially if you’re in an icy climate. Spread a few strands of lights along the shrubs or smaller trees that line the path up to your front door to guide your guests safely into your home. Bring warmth with a fancy fireplace A fireplace is the finishing touch to a cozy winter living room scene. Not only does it add warmth, it also creates an alluring and inviting environment. An insert fireplace is a great addition to your home, whether you want to build new or replace your current fireplace for a more energy efficient option. Dress your home to impress this holiday season. These décor tips will have your guests in awe the moment they walk through the door. December 2015 20 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes Everything including the kitchen sink: 5 high-impact renovation projects for DIYers Kitchen sink replacement Both utilitarian and a vital design element, the kitchen sink is one project that many DIYers hesitate to take on. Properly mounting a traditional sink requires precisely positioning and securing a number of clips – while twisting like a contortionist in the cabinet under the sink. A firsttime DIYer could invest hours of time and frustration in getting the placement just right. Enter the first-of-its kind FrankeUSA Fast-In Quick Install System. The system uses special pre-attached clips that allow homeowners to simply drop the sink into place from above the countertop. Because the clips are already in perfect position to secure the sink to the countertop, no special tools are required for the top-mount installation. Once the sink is in place, the DIYer simply presses down until the Fast-In clips click into position. The 18-gauge stainless steel sink is classically styled, offering two generously sized 9-inch-deep basins and a universal four-hole configuration for a faucet, spray and accessories. The sink’s narrow center divider, unique slim-rim design and extra-deep ledges provide ample work space, while helping keep water in the sink and off countertops. The system works with laminate, tile and solid-surface countertops. Learn more at www.frankeusa.com. Cabinet refurbishment Replacing cabinets can be costly See SINK | 21 80653389 Do-it-yourselfers are generally a "can-do" bunch, willing to tackle just about any home-renovation project — except perhaps installing a new kitchen sink. But with the right innovative product and a little self-confidence, it’s possible to get fabulous results for kitchen projects that you never thought you could do yourself – even installing a new, stainless-steel kitchen sink.

Hanging them requires accurate measuring, proficiency with a level, a keen eye and a steady hand. But rather than hanging new cabinets, it’s possible to upgrade the ones you have, create a fresh look and improve their efficiency. If your cabinets are in good shape but just look dated, cosmetic fixes are easy. Paint or refinish them in a hue that fits your design vision, and replace older hardware with contemporary designs. It’s easy to replace doors that are damaged or too shabby to repair; home-improvement stores now offer cabinet refacing materials, a variety of door styles, and tips for DIYers who want to swap out cabinet doors. Countertop refresh Installing new countertops is also a significant job that many homeowners choose to leave to professionals. However, if you don’t have the budget to pay someone to install new countertops for you, and don’t have the skills HISTORIC DOWNTOWN BUILDING Central location, well maintained w/ attractive store front & business inside, apartment upstairs, rented for the past 17 yrs. $85,000 MLS# 70320 to do it yourself, you can still refresh your counters. Laminate is one of the most common and cheapest materials for countertops. It’s also the material that’s easiest to make look like something expensive and professionally installed, such as granite, concrete or marble. You can find a number of kits that provide all the materials and instructions you need to refinish laminate countertops for a whole new look. Beautiful backsplashes A great backsplash creates a visual focal point in the kitchen. It is also functional, protecting walls from stovetop splatters. You might think something that looks that good requires professional installation, but it’s actually easy to create a beautiful backsplash. Depending on your design goals and the level of difficulty you’re comfortable with, you could choose to install ceramic or glass tile (which is moderately challenging). Or you might opt for self-adhesive vinyl tiles that mimic the look of tin or copper. Look to online resources like Pinterest for inspiration.

Professional organizers and storage designers charge a bundle to customize storage solutions for your cabinets, drawers and pantry. However, you can get the same effect at a fraction of the cost by purchasing a selection of off-the-shelf organizers. For example: •Rollout organizers go easily into lower cabinets and hold lids, bakeware and serving dishes. • Pullout mesh drawers make it easy to organize and access cleaning products below the sink. • Turntables fit easily into upper cabinets and allow you to find spices quickly. • Undershelf baskets expand your storage area and put frequently used items at your fingertips. • Gravity-feed can racks — like the soup displays in the grocery store — help keep pantries organized.

Focus efforts and budgets on bathrooms and kitchens, experts say No one relishes the prospect of having to move out of his or her home due to age-related health, mobility or dexterity issues. In fact, more than half of homeowners 60 and older say they intend to stay in their current homes indefinitely, according to a recent survey by Houzz. Fortunately for people who want to stay put, a range of home improvements can make it easier to remain in your home as you grow older. In fact, 60 percent of those who plan to age in place already made renovations in 2014, and 52 percent plan to renovate this year, Houzz found. What’s more, if cost is what’s holding the handful of non-renovators back, targeting key areas like bathrooms and kitchens can improve a house’s long-term livability even on a modest budget, says Lee Saunders, founder of Adapted Living, a California-based company specializing in aging-in-place design work. Founded in 2007, the company has helped thousands of homeowners redesign their houses to facilitate aging in place. “We’ve seen steadily increasing demand for this kind of design work and products,” Saunders says. “The growth in the industry and availability of products has been huge. Today, the biggest challenge we have is getting people to understand they don’t have to settle for an industrial or commercial look in order to renovate their homes for aging in place.” Chris Peterson, a regional sales director with Saniflo, agrees. His company makes a number of above-floor plumbing options designed to work in spaces where traditional plumbing is problematic. As the aging-in-place trend has grown, the company has seen increased interest in its products among older homeowners who are renovating. “Budget is typically a consideration for these types of projects and above-floor plumbing is often more cost- effective than traditional plumbing for homeowners who need to add or relocate a bathroom or reconfigure a kitchen,” Peterson says. Homeowners can maximize the value of their renovation dollars by focusing their aging-in-place improvements on bathrooms and kitchens, Saunders adds. Better function in bathrooms Often when people develop mobility or dexterity issues, they find their existing bathrooms are not in a convenient location in the house, or aren’t configured with See RENOVATING | 24 December 2015 Pettis County Showcase of Homes • 23 Coldwell Banker Monsees Realty • 2111 W Broadway • Sedalia, MO 65301 • (660) 826-5811 PAT MONSEES & KATHY NICKEL THERE FOR YOU 24/7 BUSINESS 660-826-5811 • Toll Free 800-798-5811 www.sedaliahousing.com “THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE YOU WANT...THE DEDICATION YOU DESERVE” Pat Monsees 660-281-1959 MLS# 73807 Text XP3373807 to 31279 For More Info $219,900 3 BR 3 Bath MLS# 72253 Text XP3372253 to 31279 For More Info $159,500 3 BR 2.5 Bath MLS# 72959 $75,000 3 BR 1 BATH MLS# 71271 $98,900 3 BR 2 Bath MLS# 72678 $79,900 3 BR 1 Bath MLS# 73199 Text XP3372959 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3371271 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3372678 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3373199 to 31279 For More Info $69,900 3 BR 1 Bath MLS# 73808 Text XP3373808 to 31279 For More Info $120,900 3 BR 2.5 Bath MLS# 72371 $289,000 4 BR 3 Bath MLS# 73562 $87,500 3 BR 1.5 Bath MLS# 72212 Text XP3372371 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3373562 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3372212 to 31279 For More Info $68,000 2 BR 1.5 Bath MLS# 72982 $89,900 Commercial MLS# 73264 Text XP3372982 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3373264 to 31279 For More Info $269,900 5 BR 3 Bath MLS# 72775 $78,400 3 BR 1.5 Bath MLS# 73408 $159,000 3 BR 2 Bath MLS# 71204 $84,900 3 BR 1 Bath MLS# 72418 $89,000 3 BR 1 Bath MLS# 73083 Text XP3372775 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3373408 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3371204 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3372418 to 31279 For More Info Text XP3373083 to 31279 For More Info $78,500 MLS# 73394 Duplex Text XP3373394 to 31279 For More Info 80695746 $119,000 3 BR 2 Bath Kathy Nickel 660-287-0463 December 2015 24 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes COLDWELL BANKER MONSEES REALTY * 2111 W.

They may need to add a bathroom in a small space or reconfigure the ones they have. When renovating an existing bath or creating a new bathroom where one did not previously exist, homeowners should keep key considerations in mind. Multiple light sources can help reduce glare and shadows — two dangerous visual effects in bathrooms, where most home falls occur. Flooring material should be slip-resistant and grab bars are essential in showers, bath tubs and near toilets. Shower heads should be on a slide bar that allows the spray to be raised or lowered depending on the needs and height of the user. Showers and faucets should be controlled by levers, rather than knobs, and all showers should have thermostatic controls to reduce the risk of burns. Whether you’re adding a half bath in a corner of your master bedroom where no bathroom existed before, or replacing a high step-over tub with a roll-in shower, traditional plumbing can be costly — especially in homes with slab foundations and no readily accessible belowfloor drainage. Saunders uses the Sanigrind Pro system by Saniflo to minimize the need to break through concrete. The product can handle drainage for a shower, sink and toilet. For more information, visit www.saniflo.com. Creating more usable kitchens Kitchens are another highutility and high-risk area of the home for seniors. Mobility and dexterity challenges can make everyday tasks like cooking and cleaning difficult to achieve in an ordinary kitchen. Saunders recommends seniors focus on improvements to enhance accessibility, such as installing lifts for countertops, cabinets, cooktops and sinks. These electric lifts allow homeowners to adjust the height of key work areas depending on whether they’re sitting or standing while using the spot. Above-floor plumbing can also be useful in kitchen renovations, where homeowners and designers desire a more open floor plan to accommodate wheelchair users. Above-floor plumbing allows you to relocate a sink or create an “island” without the expense of extensively replumbing the entire kitchen, Peterson notes.

These five energysaving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet. 1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weather-stripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold. Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency. 4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2015 Cost vs. Value Report, a mid-range bathroom remodel of $16,000 recoups 70 percent of its value at the time of resale. But what if you want a great bathroom on a smaller budget? Or crave better efficiency and function, but aren’t willing to lose the use of your bathroom during weeks of renovation? Fortunately, a bathroom can get a fresh look with improved function and efficiency, without the hassle and expense of a full remodel. Here are five easy improvements that can rejuvenate your bathroom — and they can each be accomplished in just one day! Pettis County Showcase of Homes • 29 1. Replace sink faucets Faucets are more than just a functional bathroom element — they are the “jewelry” of a bathroom. A new faucet can redefine the complete appearance of a vanity, and evoke the feeling of a whole new design for the bathroom. Manufacturers like American Standard offer styles that fit with virtually any bath decor: classic to contemporary, cosmopolitan to country, refined to rustic. An online search for faucet designs will yield numerous options. A breadth of options are available at local home improvement stores or a kitchen and bathroom showrooms. Replacing faucets can also make your bathroom more water efficient. Older faucets generally have a higher flow rate than newer models, so more water, and money, goes down the drain. American Standard bathroom faucets have a flow rate of just 1.5 gallons per minute, using 32 percent less water than standard faucets, and are WaterSense-certified for high performance and water efficiency. 2. Repaint There’s a reason why painting is on virtually every list of “must-do” home improvements — it’s a fast, easy and economical way to completely change how a room looks and feels. Most bathrooms will require only a single gallon of paint and one day to repaint. You can save money by doing the job yourself, too. When choosing paint colors for a mini-remodel, remember that the bathroom is an oasis of relaxation, not just a place to shower and brush your teeth. Soothing, neutral tones on the walls will help inspire this sense of calm, while providing a placid backdrop for pops of color in your accessories and linens. 3. Swap out hardware If the faucet is the crown jewel of your bathroom, the cabinet and drawer hardware are lovely accents to tastefully complement it. Once you’ve replaced that tired old faucet, it’s time to look at cabinet knobs and drawer pulls. Look for options that match the style statement made with your faucet — traditional, transitional, contemporary, eclectic, etc. Keep in mind that coordinating the knob finish to the faucet will create a pleasing, cohesive look for your overall bathroom design. Popular finishes are brushed nickel, polished chrome, oil rubbed bronze and satin brass. Swapping hardware can be a fast, cost-effective way to underscore your remodeling theme. 4. Upgrade your shower Sure, a single spray showerhead that’s 10 years old can be adequate to get you clean. But a shower should be an experience – a satisfying and relaxing one. Replacing a single spray showerhead with a multi-function model can provide varied spray patterns for different purposes – and help create a more spa-like experience in your bathroom. Plus, a new showerhead can save you money in the long run, especially if your current one is dated and inefficient. Water-saving models like the American Standard FloWise Water Saving Showerhead use significantly less water than traditional models. A special aerator spins a mere 1.5 gallons of water per minute to make it feel like a powerful spray. 5. Freshen the softer side Just as new window treatments look great in the living room, they make a big difference in bathrooms, too. Update window treatments — roman shades, miniblinds, valances, full-length sheers — whatever style works in your bathroom. Splurge on an upscale shower curtain and throw rungs that match the window treatments, and finish off with a luxurious set of towels. Bathroom remodeling doesn’t have to cost a bundle or take a lot of time. A few simple updates can make all the difference, at a fraction of the cost. December 2015 30 • Pettis County Showcase of Homes Exterior lighting improves the safety and appearance of a home When drafting a to-do list for home improvements that can increase home value and appeal, several renovations may be atop homeowners’ lists. While kitchen or bathroom remodels may be popular renovations, homeowners also should consider outdoor lighting schemes that can make homes safer and more alluring. Outdoor lighting serves various purposes. Such lighting can draw attention to more impressive parts of a property. In addition, such lighting can improve security and deter criminals. To get started, homeowners should first examine the exteriors of their homes and make note of existing lighting and where improvements can be made. If you’re not sure where to begin, speak with an electrician or a landscape designer, each of whom can offer sug- gestions on lighting and which options are the best fit for your particular property. Next, you’ll want to consider efficiency and function. The United States Department of Energy suggests incorporating energy-efficient lighting, including energy-saving LED bulbs or fluorescent lights, into your plans. Timers and other automatic controls can prevent waste by turning lights on only when they are needed. Solar lights can be used as accent lights, further saving energy. ways or to accent planters.

Putting off winterization efforts can lead to higher utility bills and fluctuating indoor temperatures over the cold winter months. Drafts and gaps in insulation coverage can be a major contributing factor to higher utility bills and can hinder the performance of your furnace. Warm air continually escapes the home due to these gaps, forcing the furnace to work overtime to compensate. In addition to this, the U.S. Department of Energy suggests air leakage contributes to potential moisture problems that can affect occupant health and the home’s durability. So how can you ensure that your home stays warm and your family remains comfortable throughout winter? Caulking and weather-stripping are two of the most popular and common techniques that can help address air leaks. Additionally, having your furnace equipment professionally maintained is another simple measure. However, building experts will suggest solutions that go further in terms of air-sealing. High performance insulation One of the most effective methods to eliminate air leakage and live comfortably during the colder months is ensuring your home is insulated with a high performance insulation solution. Traditional insulation is prone to leaving gaps and absorbing moisture, which in turn can have a significant impact on occupants while allowing for significant energy loss. Replacing your home’s insulation with a high-performance material such as spray foam insulation, will both insulate and air seal the home and lead to immediate cost savings. Insulation experts from Icynene suggest that quality spray foam insulation can noticeably reduce heating and cooling bills, which continue over the long-term. Installed by professionals, spray foam insulation, like that available from Icynene, works well in all climates to completely seal the building, filling gaps to stop air leakage and help reduce the strain on your furnace (or air conditioner during warmer months). As a long-term solution, spray foam insulation helps maintain a comfortable temperature year round while helping to control monthly heating and cooling expenses. Thanks to spray foam insulation’s air-sealing qualities, homeowners can reduce the size of their heating and cooling equipment since less effort is required to heat or cool the home, according to InsulationSmart.com. While air leakage can cause energy bills to sky-rocket, a well-insulated home and economical winterizing can help you get through the cold winter months. Homeowners can learn the five easy steps of selecting the right insulation for their home on icynene.com.
