Let's Add a Den!

Let's Add A DenBy Dan FritschenA den addition to your home can be a terrific investment of both time and money. Not only will it increase the value of your home, it will also create a wonderful cozy family gathering place you can enjoy for many years to come.There are many ways to add a den to your home. One way to add a den is to claim attic space. The use of attic space offers a number of fascinating possibilities ranging from a secluded and cozy retreat to a loft that overlooks the kitchen or great room. A second way to add a den is to consider the basement. Unused space in the basement of your home can also be converted into a very nice den. A third way, which offers unlimited possibilities, is to build an addition to your home for a cozy den.A den will probably be relatively small (as compared to a family room or great room. You will want to make it cozy and comfortable for your family to use for TV or movie viewing, reading, enjoying music, or just gathering for an evening chat. Creating a feeling of warmth and comfort is generally the goal of den design.The first questions you will need to answer in deciding where you will add your den and what size the room should be are these:* Will you convert an existing room?* Will you renovate your attic?* Will you finish a space in your basement?* Will you den be an addition to your existing home?* If the den will be an addition, where will it join the existing structure?* What will be the size of the room?The next set of questions to answer concern access and connection to the rest of the house.* How will you have access to your new den? Will you be able to use an existing stairway (to attic or basement)? Will you need to add and construct a new stairway?* How will you connect your new den addition to the existing structure? Will you need to create a doorway or hallway from the existing structure into the new den? Will you remove a wall from your house to connect with the new den?One very popular approach to den additions is to remove an exterior kitchen wall, allowing the new den to connect with the end of the kitchen. This approach can create a very warm, comfortable and cizy living space for your family. If you choose this option, you will need to decide whether to remove the entire section of wall or to create either a doorway or an arched opening into the den. The use of a smaller doorway to the den will have minimal effect on the look and feel of the kitchen. Building a den addition that is completely open to the kitchen will affect the look and feel of both den and kitchen. This very popular approach to den addition, however, will require careful planning and design.There was a time when a den was simply a small room that might have built-in bookcases and was probably paneled in wood (Generally knotty pine). Families, builders and contractors have become far more creative in recent years, designing spaces that are far more interesting and functional. Here are some room-design ideas you might want to consider in planning your den.1. If you are remodeling an attic space, consider creating an open staircase from the floor below and leaving the area that connects with the rest of the house open. Either a half-wall or a wood or wrought iron rail can prevent accidents and create a feeling of more space in both rooms.2. If you are remodeling a basement space, consider ways you can create the same effect of openness in the way you provide access to your basement den.3. If you are adding to your home, consider something more creative than a simple doorway to join the den to the existing structure. You might consider placing a see-through fireplace between the kitchen and the den with open space on each side for access. You can connect your den to other rooms in the same way.4. If you are adding a den that connects with your kitchen, consider using a "breakfast bar" to delineate space. Or, just allow the kitchen and den to flow together.5. You can create the feeling of warmth in a den through color choices for paint, wallpaper and furniture. Flooring materials can also create very exciting effects. Rather than paneling, you might consider adding the warmth of wood with hardwood floors and open-beam rafters in the den.If your new den will be an addition to the house, you will need to think carefully about the grade of the land, the appropriate type of foundation, and the external appearance of the new addition. The external materials will certainly need to match or blend with the exterior of the existing house. The line of the new roof will need to be consonant with the existing roof line, and the shingles should match. You can, however, consider some options that will make your home more energy efficient, such as installation of solar energy panels or a skylight. A fireplace could provide alternative heating as well as creating a feeling of warmth in the room. With so many styles of fireplace available, you will certainly be able to find and include a fireplace that accents your den and other rooms with which it connects.Whether you choose to remodel existing space or to add to your home, you will need to attend to heat and air conditioning in the new den, as well as electricity. This, as well as the need to construct a foundation and exterior walls, may help you decide whether this is a do-it-yourself project or you need to call in professionals for all or part of the work. Many localities require electrical and heat/air work to be done by licensed professionals. If you are building a fireplace, proper ventilation will be critical. You may want to have a professional do these types of work, leaving the paneling or drywall and decorating for you to do.Whether you choose a simple plan or a very creative and exciting room design, you can create a marvelous living space for your family by adding a den to your existing home. The project will be great fun to plan and build, and you will have a renovation that will improve your lifestyle and increase the value of your home.Dan Fritschen, the author of this article, is the founder of the websites http://www.remodelormove.com http://www.remodelestimates.com and http://www.remodelingorganizer.com He is the author of three books on home remodeling.

Creating Wood Planters

Creating Wood PlantersBy Joanne JonesAre you having trouble finding that perfect planter to hang beneath a window on your house? One that is the perfect size, shape and colour? A quick solution is to make your own wood planter. Wood planters are simple to make and require only a few basic materials.The materials required are:5 pieces of wood cut to sizenailshammer white paintpaintbrushheavy duty plasticcrushed rocksoilseeds or flowers from a nurseryThe first step is to build the wood planter. Go to your local hardware store where they will have scrap pieces of lumber that can be cut to the size you desire. You will need two long pieces of lumber for the length of the planter, two short pieces of lumber for the width of the planter and one long piece of lumber for the bottom of the planter. Nail the pieces of lumber together. Paint the outside of the wood planter. I recommend white paint, as it will compliment most houses and really shows off the flowers in the planter.Once the wood planter is built, it is a good idea to position it in place before it is filled with soil and flowers. The best solution is to have brackets that will hold the wood planter in place, but will still allow you to take the planter down in order to plant flowers, repaint the planter or to place the planter in storage. Brackets come in all different colours, shape and sizes. The choice is yours and will depend upon the final look that you are going for. If you prefer to not see the brackets, then choose thin brackets that are the same colour as the house. The other option is to choose ornamental brackets that add elegance and character to your planter. If you choose this option, it is important that the brackets match the decor of the outside of your house. For example, if you have a wrought iron railing than you could use wrought iron brackets that match the colour and style of the railing.Now comes the fun part – filling your new wood planter! Start by lining the planter with heavy duty plastic. The plastic will keep water away from the wood. Once you have done that, fill the bottom of the planter with a layer of crushed rock. Then fill the planter with soil, leaving about three inches from the top. You are now ready to plant some seed or flowers from your local nursery. Finally, place the wood planter in front of your window, on the brackets that you installed earlier. Enjoy!To see more ideas on planters and other containers for flowers, please visit http://www.thegardenersescape.com/
