    Go Beyond Beige – Color vs. Neutral Schemes

    Posted on 17 May 2008 by

    Homeowners now have permission to go beyond beige.

    With a desire to create spaces that are just right for them, today’s customer is looking for an experience inside the home. Neutrals are nice, but homeowners are moving “Å“beyond the beige.”

    When buying or selling a home, a neutral color scheme is the safe choice and often used as a way to provide a blank canvas, allowing potential buyers to paint their personal vision of home. But thanks to the world of home makeover shows and an abundance of how-to palette information available online and in stores, consumer color confidence is higher than ever. With permission to go beyond beige, many homeowners are rediscovering the power of color to create personality in their home that can, if executed thoughtfully, establish a unique and memorable impression-while they’re living there as well as when it’s time to sell.

    So what is a “Å“thoughtful” way to color scheme a home?  Continued…  Go Beyond Beige – Color vs. Neutral Schemes - RISMEDIA

    Low-cost fixes to make your home more green

    Posted on 13 March 2008 by

    Earth“With oil prices now well beyond $100 a barrel, many readers have been asking how to have a greener, more energy-efficient home.  One answer, promoted by “green” builders, is to buy a new eco-friendly abode with everything from solar shingles to geothermal heating systems to super-insulated windows — or to upgrade existing homes with these items.  But that solution is simply out of reach for many homeowners.” 

    “For most people, a middle approach is needed. In other words, don’t go out of your way to buy a new home, or replace something in your current residence, if what you have is already functioning well — no matter how much of a guilt-trip the green-building industry lays on you. But if your fridge dies, or your water heater needs replacing, consider paying a premium to get the most energy-efficient replacement available, even if you know you’ll move before you recoup the cost. Consider it a gift to future generations.” 

    Here are some other low-cost fixes to make your home more green.

    If you’re going to remodel your home, don’t forget the popcorn

    Posted on 10 March 2008 by

  • If your going to remodel your home, don’t forget the popcorn.  In fact, it is probably one of the best places to start your remodel.  What is the point of updating your home if every time you look up you’re still back in 1967?  Groovy baby.  It is amazing how much more modernized and open your home will feel without your favorite movie treat hanging overhead.  It doesn’t always have to include scraping either.  Some choose to hang sheetrock right over it.  “Despite disruption, it will lower overall cost and improve home’s resale value.”  So say “Peace” to the popcorn.  Get rid of ‘popcorn’ ceilings all at once
