5 CADILLAC NEWS REAL ESTATE GUIDE MARCH 2017

 Which kitchen style best
matches your personality?
Everyone has a preferred style of
kitchen, no matter if youre a chef at
heart or just prefer to heat something
frozen using the microwave. You may be
surprised to discover your personality
influences the style of kitchen you prefer.
So, do you know what style matches your
personality?
From a modern/urban industrial look
to a comfy cottage look, theres one style
of kitchen thats perfect for you. Read on
to find out what you like best and how
to easily and affordably get the look you
truly want:

Cottage - Inviting, warm, cheerful,

charming ... these words describe this
kitchen style - and your personality - perfectly. The
color pallet for a cottage kitchen is light and includes
white and soft tones. Open shelves and an apron-
style sink help create the warm feeling in this kitchen.
When you invite your friends over, you talk about the
vintage decor youve used to make the space feel like
home. To help create this look on a budget, shop the
flea markets for decorations.
Mediterranean - You have an old soul,
and you want your kitchen decorated in an earthy,
colorful style with old-world charm. Its the perfect
blend of friendly and vivacious energy with tiled
backsplashes, wrought iron detailing, exposed ceiling
beams with brick-style flooring and raised-panel
cabinets in dark wood tones. A granite countertop
will really tie the entire look together, and you can
accomplish this look without exceeding your budget
by using Giani Granite Countertop Paint in Sicilian
Sand. Youll be pleased with how beautiful the
result looks, and youll love that you didnt have to
overspend to accomplish the style.
Traditional - Bright, complex and sparkling
are the details that exist in a traditional kitchen, and
you love how architectural details bring character to
6 CADILLAC NEWS REAL ESTATE GUIDE MARCH 2017
the kitchen space. Warm neutral colors with decorative
cabinet doors in an antique finish in the kitchen echo
your approachable personality. If you want to achieve
this look without needing to purchase new cabinets,
consider trying Nuvo Cabinet Paint in Coconut
Espresso or Euro Taupe colors.
Urban industrial - The kitchen that best
fits your new-age swagger is the urban industrial
style, complete with a neutral base color accented
with pops of color and edgy art. The look is effortless
with touches of well-traveled, rustic, modern, bold
and unique. The architecture is open, with brick wall,
exposed ducts and pipes or even a chalkboard wall. The
furniture is unique and often mismatched, promoting
individuality in each piece. Because the look is easy,
you prefer open shelves instead of cabinets, and like
the look and usefulness of wooden crates for storage.
When your personality and kitchen style match,
youll discover its a space you call home. If youve
let your budget keep you from the kitchen of your
dreams, think again. If your space doesnt quite match
your personality perfectly, there are simple, budget-
friendly steps you can take to get the style you want.

your style of kitchen, check out www.pinterest.com.

 New homebuyers checklist to ID
costly repairs
When youre about to buy a house, its easy to
get excited about its great location, spacious floor
plan or beautifully decorated interior. Yet the
old saying, beautys only skin deep can apply
to any home, especially if youre considering an
older, previously owned property. Before signing
on the dotted line, use this checklist to help avoid
some potentially costly surprises and anticipate
repairs or upgrades that may be needed.

Start at the top: the roof

Ask when the current roof was installed. Is it the
original roof, or has it been replaced, repaired,
or covered over with new shingles in certain
spots? Are there known leaks, and if so, where
are they? Have any of the leaks caused damage to the
attic or interior? Also look at the chimney to see if
its properly sealed around the edges and whether the
gutters need repair.
Windows and doors
Next, take a look at the windows to see if there is any
condensation between the glass panes. If so, it could
mean window replacements are in order. Once you
get inside the house and close the front door, see if
any light is coming through between the edge of the
door opening and the wall. This gap is an indicator
that the door may need to be replaced since air can
escape through it and cause higher energy bills.
Lighting and electrical
Throughout the interior rooms, many homes are
staged to appeal to buyers with attractive lighting
that shows off the space to its best advantage. You may
love the way the lamps look in the bedroom, office or
kitchen, but more importantly, check out how many
electrical outlets there are and whether they are in
convenient locations. Also, make sure you check to
see if the lamps are masking the fact that there are no
ceiling fixtures in each room. Will you need to rig up
extension cords or invest in electrical work in order to
support all the lamps, ceiling fixtures, appliances and
electronics you wish to use?
Get to the bottom
of furnace efficiency
At the basement level, be sure to check out the heating
system. If the current furnace is more than 10 years old,
it may be operating at a much lower level of efficiency
than the latest manufacturing standards require,
resulting in higher energy costs. Newer models can
operate at nearly 20 percent higher efficiency than the
government minimum standard, for the ultimate in
energy efficiency. A qualified Trane dealer can advise
you on the best solution for any home.
Know what you cant see: indoor air
quality
One thing you cant see is the quality of the homes
indoor air. Nearly 72 trillion particles enter a home
every day, making the air inside up to five times
more polluted than the air outside. Adding a Trane
CleanEffects Air Cleaner to the heating and cooling
system can remove 99.98 percent of airborne particles
including dust, pollen, pet hair and dander, dust mites,
mildew, lint, fungus, most tobacco smoke, cooking
grease, and even bacteria from the filtered air - so
everyone in your new home can breathe easier.

 Stunning DIY painting projects
that can be done in one day or less
Modern, lively, exciting - if these words dont describe
the style of your favorite rooms, an update is in order.
Painting is a classic makeover tool for interior spaces.
To give your homes aesthetic a boost of personality
and style, consider these surprisingly simple DIY paint
projects that can be done in one day or less.

Ombre walls: The fading technique that gently

transitions one hue to another is popular in clothing
and hair coloring, and can also be used for interior
design. Pair any two complementing colors to create
a beautiful ombre composition on walls. For example,
red and orange transition to mimic the visual essence of
a sunset, turquoise and blues blend together much like
the colors of the ocean, and white with gray makes for
a crisp, clean style that captures the look of winter in
chic modern style.
To create an ombre wall, first select your paint colors.
BEHR MARQUEE Interior Paint & Primer has 372
exclusive one coat colors to choose from. (For details,
visit behr.com/marqueeguarantee) Start at the top
of the wall and paint the first color about two-thirds
down. Then, starting at the bottom, paint the second
color upward until it meets the first. Finally, use a large
sponge to spread and pat the bottom paint color up the
wall to create a beautiful blend of colors with a smooth
transition.
Ceiling surprise: The often-ignored 5th wall
is the perfect place to add an unexpected touch of color.
Forget white and go bold with rich tones that accent
the decor in the space. Simply use a roller with an
extended handle to make the job easier and select your
paint color of choice.
Brighten the room and draw attention vertically with
a rich yellow color reminiscent of sunshine. Perhaps
youd like to evoke the feeling of the outdoors by
painting the ceiling a light blue and sponge paint soft
white clouds around light fixtures. Gray is the perfect
color for ceilings when contemporary styling is your
goal and will give your room a modern edge.
Chevron patterns: Chic chevron zigzags have
broad visual appeal in a home. The V-pattern pairs well
with a variety of interior styles, such as modern and
eclectic. A small chevron accent wall can make a tiny
space pop with personality. Chevron also looks stylish
on tabletops, coffee tables and end tables.
Time-saving tip: Paint a wall or tabletop entirely
in one shade of paint. Then use quality painters tape
to create chevron patterns in your desired size. Simply
paint over the gaps, let it dry and remove the tape to
reveal a crisp chevron design.
Colorful accents: Want to revamp a room
but dont want to paint the entire thing? Thats why
painting accent walls a bold hue has become the simple
way to inject color and style into interior spaces.
Achieving rich deep color doesnt even require multiple
coats, thanks to the exclusive BEHR MARQUEE
Interior One-Coat Color Collection. Plus with its low
VOC formula and one coat coverage, you can paint a
room and entertain (and impress) guests all in the same
weekend!
Which wall should you select to paint with an accent
color? Look at how the room is used and where the eye
is naturally drawn. The wall behind the couch, bed or
kitchen table are all wonderful locations to experiment
with a touch of color. Another option is to choose a
focal point to accent, such as painting a border around
a piece of art or a TV mounted to the wall.
Anyone can be DIY-savvy and achieve impressive
results with some high quality paint and motivation.
