Quick and easy ways to bring order to the bathThe bathroom is one of the most used rooms in a house, which means it can also become home to a lot of clutter. But, that doesn’t mean getting orga-nized has to be difficult or even complicated.

Bring order to the bath with these easy tips:

StaSh Your Stuff Where You Can See It

You don’t need a large bathroom to find the per-fect spot for all your stuff. If you have blank space on the walls, consider adding a few open shelves. Above a toilet is the perfect spot for a head-height

shelf to stash extra towels or toilet paper rolls.Extend the “everything in its place” mentality to

other bathroom staples – towels. Make sure towels are in their place by ensuring there is ample space to hang them, so they end up neatly stored instead of on the floor. Everything now has a chance to dry properly and keep the space looking neat. The Boardwalk accessory collection from Moen features a cool, vintage design to keep you stylishly orga-nized. Towel rings, double rob hooks and double towel bars all boast Moen’s exclusive Spot Resist

finish, keeping them finger-print free.

Storage SpaCe that WorkS Better

– and Smarter Clutter is like a magnet − once it starts, it’s hard

to control. If you’re lucky enough to have a vanity, it can often become a catch all for random products, makeup and styling tools. Keep your countertops looking pristine by stripping away nonessentials, use shallow baskets, cosmetics organizer trays or bathroom totes to clear the countertop and orga-nize items beneath the sink.

You can also take to the back of doors, outfit short cabinets with slim caddies or try a pegboard and narrow hooks for taller spaces to keep groom-

ing and makeup tools and supplies close at hand for easy-see de-cluttering.

If you have drawers, make your primping process a breeze by limiting the top drawer to products you use often. Drawer dividers are essential for keeping neat, otherwise you’ll quickly have a junk drawer on your hands. Wooden boxes and trays help cat-egorize items and are available in various sizes and materials, so they can be mixed and matched to fit any drawer.

The key to staying organized is making the best use of the space you have. With a little imagination and the right additions, get your bathroom orga-nized once and for all.

Thinking green throughout the year can o� er some signi� cant bene� ts. Here are some easy ways you can go green in your own home and lower your energy bills:

Invest in a programmable thermostat. It will • automatically adjust the temperature in your house, saving you energy while you’re out for the day, away on vacation or sleeping.Switch all of your lightbulbs to CFLs (compact • � uorescent light) or LED bulbs. They last longer and use up to 75 percent less energy than stan-dard incandescent bulbs, saving you money on your electric bills.Insulate well. Use insulation with a high R-value • to top up insulation in your attic. Aim for an R-value of 50 or a depth of 16 inches. For whole home e� ciency, ensure other areas of your home are well insulated, such as crawl spaces, basement headers, walls and ceilings. It will keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress o� your air conditioning unit.

Stop air leaks around your home by sealing ex-• isting gaps and cracks. Use caulking or weather stripping around doors and windows. Installing a door sweep is also a good idea.Replace old appliances with energy-e� cient • models. Only do laundry or run the dishwasher when you have full loads.Remember that many little improvements can

add up - providing valuable monthly savings for you, while protecting our environment for the future.

5 simple ways to go green at home and save money

”Remember that many little improvements

can add up...

“

Going green isn’t necessarily more expensive or extensive

get your move on

After a few months of chilly temperatures, come spring, many homeowners are eager to throw open their windows and doors and breathe new life into their homes. Simple changes made now - even before the weather begins to warm up - can improve interior spaces and brighten the atmosphere of a home.

GO PLANT SHOPPING

Research from NASA suggests adding at least one plant in your home per 100 square feet is e� cient enough to clean air. Fresh foliage also makes a home feel warm and inviting. Watering and misting plants introduces moisture into indoor air, which can make rooms overcome with dry air from heating systems feel comfortable. Just be sure to avoid overwatering plants, which can lead to mould growth.

SWAP OUT THROW PILLOWSAccent pillows on beds and sofas are quick and

inexpensive ways to add new bursts of colour to rooms. You may be able to make over a room’s entire colour scheme with new pillows. Invest in pillows that you can switch with each season so your decor

will never look tired or dull.

CLEAN EXISTING LIGHT FIXTURES

Another way to brighten the mood in a home is to periodically clean light � xtures to make sure they are working e� ectively. Spend time dusting them and cleaning o� any accumulated debris. If need be, switch out old lamp shades for newer ones that let more light shine through. If inad-equate lighting is a problem no matter how many lamps you have, consult with an electrician about installing more overhead and accent lighting.

GIVE RUGS AND FLOORS A DEEP CLEANING

Recirculated air may be full of dust and oth-er microscopic particles that end up blowing throughout your home. Also, it’s easy to track in dirt and other materials on your shoes that become imbedded in carpeting. At least once a year, rent or enlist the surfaces of carpet and up-holstery cleaners to give � oors a thorough clean-ing. You may be surprised at how clean and fresh a home looks and smells once rugs and carpets are deep-cleaned. You also can make a dry carpet cleaner using baking soda, corn starch and de-sired fresh herbs for fragrance. Sprinkle and then vacuum up after a few hours.

COLOUR-COORDINATE BOOKSHELVES

Group all books with similarly coloured covers to-gether for an instant and eye-appealing look.

SIMMER SOME HOMEMADE HOME DEODORIZER

In a large pot, boil water and some scented herbs, such as rosemary, citrus rinds, vanilla, or lavender. The aroma will waft through the home, creating a pleasing scent.

INVEST IN NEW WINDOW TREATMENTS

Lightweight draperies or new blinds or shades

can transform the look of a room. Be sure to keep curtains and blinds open during the day to maxi-mize the hours of sunlight.

Homeowners can make some simple changes while they’re stuck indoors and reap the bene� ts when the weather warms up again.

— MS

Freshen up your home for the spring seasonWe’ve been cooped up for months, but there’s warmth in sight. Prepare with a little redecoration.

”

Invest in pillows that you can switch with each season so your decor will never look

tired or dull.

“Fresh � owers, new throw pillows and lightweight draperies are some easy ways to transform a home in time for spring’s arrival.

Get the 411 on flooringChoosing the right flooring for a home is no small task. Flooring is expensive, so homeowners want to make the best decision possible so their choice of flooring is not one they regret and ultimately re-place in the years to come.

When choosing flooring for their homes, many homeowners are overwhelmed by the options at their disposal. Each type of flooring can look great in its own way, which is why homeowners may struggle to find the right fit for their homes. Educat-ing yourself about flooring is a great way to make the process of choosing your next floor much less overwhelming and more enjoyable. The following are some of the more popular flooring options you will no doubt encounter as your search for a flaw-less floor begins.

Hardwood

Nearly everyone is familiar with hardwood floors, which are durable, warm and a favourite of hom-eowners aiming for a traditional look. Homes with open floor plans often benefit from hardwood flooring, as it creates the feeling of continuity that homeowners hope to achieve with open floor plans. Various species, including oak, maple and cherry, of hardwood flooring are available, and they typically vary in price, with more exotic imported options carrying hefty price tags. More traditional hardwood flooring is less expensive, and solid wood flooring can be refinished several times to increase its lifespan.

EnginEErEd wood

Engineered wood is less susceptible to tempera-ture changes and humidity than solid wood, and some new varieties of engineered wood include substrates made from recycled wood fibre and stone dust, which may appeal to eco-friendly homeown-ers. Men and women who want to install their own floors may prefer engineered wood, which is now available in self-locking parquet or plank squares that can be installed without using glue or nails.

BamBoo

Bamboo is another flooring alternative that’s

popular among eco-conscious homeowners, as it comes from plants that regenerate quickly and is therefore considered a sustainable material. Bam-boo flooring is made of strands of bamboo that are glued together, forming engineered planks or solid strips. Bamboo flooring is strong and able to resist the negative effects of fluctuating humidity, which include swelling and contraction. Many people pre-fer the fresh, bright feel of bamboo flooring.

LaminatE

Laminate flooring is among the less expensive flooring materials to buy and install. Homeowners who purchase laminate flooring have an array of options to choose from, and floating laminate floor-ing systems can be installed over existing floors without glue or nails. Some feel laminate flooring is indistinguishable from real wood, but the plas-tic coating that makes up the top layer of laminate flooring is often a giveaway that the floors are lami-nate and not real wood. Similar in construction to engineered wood, laminate flooring differs because its top layer is a photographic imprint on the face of each board, whereas engineered wood is made up of real hardwood veneer attached to several layers of plywood.

Cork

Cork is another sustainable flooring material that’s a favourite among homeowners looking to make their homes more eco-friendly. The appear-ance of cork floors is unlike many flooring materials, as it is speckled thanks to unusual grain patterns of the trees from which it is harvested. Cork flooring is popular in kitchens and bathrooms because cork tiles have a naturally nonslip surface that makes areas of a home where floors get wet safer. Cork flooring may need to be resealed every few years to guard against stains and potential moisture issues.

Flooring choices vary greatly, and it’s easy for homeowners to become overwhelmed by all of the options at their disposal. But taking time to under-stand each of those options can make the process of choosing a floor that much more fun.

— MS

Hardwood flooring is a popular and traditional choice for homeowners replacing their existing floors.

Your new

Hosts open their doors to guests for vari-ous reasons. Throwing a party is a great way to socialize with friends and family or mark special occasions like gradua-tions or anniversaries.

Hosting a get-together often requires a lot of work and, depending on the scale of the party, may even prove a con-siderable financial undertaking. But en-tertaining also subjects a home to some wear and tear, which can be prevented when hosts make protecting their fur-nishings a priority.

Stop StainS before they Start

Choosing wisely with regard to foods and beverages can reduce the risk of stained carpets or furnishings. Items such as tomato-based sauces, red wine, beets, chocolate, and other dark edibles may be delicious, but such items also can permanently damage fabrics and carpeting if they are dropped, especially if the stain is not immediately treated.

Choose foods that will be less likely to stain. White wine and clear beverages will not cause as much anxiety as colas or darker beverages. Finger foods that can be eaten in one or two bites may be your best option, as such fare negates the need for cumbersome dinner plates and the potential for foods to roll off the side.

If you choose to serve foods that need to be eaten with a fork, select shapes that are more likely to stay put. Flatten Swedish meatballs into patties, and opt

for chicken wings instead of drumsticks. Choose a pasta that’s hollow, as such pastas are easier to skewer with a fork.

It’s also wise to keep food contained to one particular area, usually an area with a tile or wood floor that can be eas-ily cleaned and cleared of stains.

Cover and proteCt

Hosts who are nervous about dam-aging their furniture should invest in inexpensive slipcovers, which are made to fit over a wide variety of furniture, in-cluding sofas, love seats, recliners, and even dining room chairs. Select a ma-terial that can be washed in a washing machine.

Slipcovers come in different styles. Some feature tie-backs to keep the cover in place, while others must be stretched over the fabric to fit more snugly.

In addition to considering slipcov-ers, move knickknacks or other fragile yet valuable items out of rooms where guests will spend time. Ceramic collect-ibles or a priceless piece of art can be safely stored elsewhere until the party is over. This saves you the stress of worry-ing about items being knocked over or broken during the party.

Place a carpet runner or an area rug over areas of the carpeting that figure to get a lot of foot traffic during the party. This can guard against ground-in stains. Be sure to place small mats next to entryways to reduce the amount of

debris brought into the house from outdoors. You can ask guests to remove their shoes, but keep in mind that such a request may make some guests uncom-fortable.

enCourage gueStS to be neat

Do not expect guests to clean all of their messes, but you can encourage them to be neat. Have plenty of trash

and recycling receptacles around. Regu-larly check the pails to make sure they aren’t overflowing. Put cloth guest tow-els in the bathrooms so guests can eas-ily dry their hands. Provide a permanent marker or wine tag so that guests can identify their beverage cups and glasses, which should lead to less waste and few-er empty glasses to clean up as the party progresses.

relax aS muCh aS poSSible

Think of the reasons you are hosting the party. Realize that your house will not be pristine after all the guests leave, but unless you turn a blind eye, it likely won’t be trashed, either. Worrying about messes and damage will make it hard for you to have fun, so try to relax and the enjoy the party.

— MS

How to protect your furnishings when entertaining guests

These party hosts are serving their guests red wine with spaghetti, likely culprits to causes stains around the house. A better choice would be a hollow pasta like penne, which is easier to skewer with a fork, and white wine.
