August 2012 FOREVER YOUNG

When I called organizationalguru, Lori Hennecke, ownerof iDOitALLjust4U, about

helping me to organize and downsizemy possessions, I couldn’t find myplanner to check my calendar. Then, Iaccidentally dropped the phone.

Clearly, I was in need of emergencyhelp.

We set a date for the following weekfor her to come and evaluate mysituation, and so, I began cleaning.

Here’s my dirty little secret – Iwould rather have a root canal, thanhave someone come in and look atmy things. And believe me, I havethings.

A well-lived life is between thesewalls, as well as boxes unpacked fromprevious moves and memories of myhusband.

Letting go of those will be a wrench,even though I know that the formersailor, who believed everythingshould be “shipshape and Bristol-fashion,” would applaud the move.

I told Lori to pull her car in behindmine. I think my theory was that Icouldn’t run away screaming, if myexit was blocked. Now that she’salmost here, I’m wondering if she’sthe one who’s going to run.

Furniture choices helpin downsizing

PORT ST. LUCIE – Stacy Walsh, a salesrepresentative at City Furniture in Stu-art, works with many clients who aredownsizing. She has found that certainstyles of furniture work best in smallerspaces.

“Look for smaller pieces with straightlines,” she said. “With a rolled-arm sofaor sleigh bed, you lose space. You wantpieces on a smaller scale.”

Ms. Walsh said that the Floridalifestyle often dictates the fabrics peoplechoose.

“People like microfibers for places onthe beach because they clean easily andare durable,” she said.

While light woods are associated withdecorating in Florida, Ms. Walsh saidthat darker woods are in fashion now.

“People think Florida and they thinklighter. Right now browns and darkerwoods are in style. Furniture is like fash-ion. It rotates in and out. You want peo-ple to have fun.

“Furniture is not like it was 40 yearsago. People don’t like to keep it forever.They want to change it out. While thedarker woods are in, most are veneersnow because the humidity in Floridacan warp solid wood.”

Some of the decisions about furnitureare based on practicality as well as style.

“A lot of people like sleeper sofas,” shesaid. “In Florida, people like to visit.One of our most popular pieces is asmall-scale accent chair. We also havesmall-scale recliners.

“In the dining room, I suggest goingwith glass and wrought iron or apedestal base. It doesn’t look as bulkyand the glass opens it up.”

Mr. Walsh said that most of her cus-tomers choose dining sets that seat fouror six. For those who want a larger area,she suggests pub tables.

“The pub table is a good optionbecause a lot of the wood ones haveleaves,” she said. “We have 40 differentoptions for pub tables, including wood,

glass, marble andgranite.”

Ms. Walsh saidthat home officesare easy to adaptto a smaller space.

“We can buildthem to fit,” shesaid. “Pieces aremixable andinterchangeable.People may not want a high top to thedesk because it might block the window.They might just want a small desk. Wecan use other pieces of furniture, like asofa table for a laptop computer, or asmall student desk to match the furni-ture in the rest of the room.”

The store offers design services to its If you no longer need a table for eight, downsize to a more intimatefour-top.A glass top creates the illusion of space.

“People think Florida and they think lighter. Right now browns and darker woods are in style. Furniture is likefashion. It rotates in and out ... “ says Stacy Walsh, sales consultant with City Furniture.

Choosing a new home takes planning

PORT ST. LUCIE – Becca Layne, a realestate associate with Lang Realty inPort St. Lucie, has worked with a num-ber of clients who are downsizing.Many have chosen condos, villas ortown homes because they plan tochange their lifestyle as well as theirhome.

“They like not having lawn mainte-nance,” Ms. Layne said. “They also likethat they can take a vacation on a whimor be gone for a couple of months, andjust lock up the home and leave. In acommunity, the amenities and mainte-nance are taken care of.”

Ms. Layne mentioned one coupleshe is assisting who are retiring andwant to sell their house. They own ahouse on half acre and have a pool, butthey want a condo on the ocean.

“The living space will be the samesize,” Ms. Layne said. “They won’t have

to worry about a new roof, the half acreof yard and the pool. They can still havethe lifestyle they want. They get to liveon the ocean, just put on a suit andwalk out the door.”

For those interested in condo living,Ms. Layne said there are several factorsto consider.

“There are people on top or below,”she said. “You don’t walk into your door,you go into a building. Some condosdon’t have elevators. You may want tobe on the first floor or think aboutfuture health concerns. If you have adog, you’ll be going up and down thosestairs three times a day. In addition,most condos don’t have a garage,although there are some out there.”

On the plus side, Ms. Layne notedthat people who move into condos areoften retired and have more free time.Condos usually have activities andpeople are able to do things with othersthe same age.

In a neighborhood of single-family

homes, it may take time to meet neigh-bors and find out what activities areavailable. In a condo, you just have tolook at the newsletter and the bulletinboard and show up.

“Community is a big part of why peo-ple make a move. Many communitiesoffer cards, pottery classes, art classes,golf and water aerobics. A lot of themoffer a lot of great things.”

Finances are an important consider-ation in deciding where to downsize.While you don’t have the cost of upkeepand maintenance, there are associationfees. Ms. Layne noted that smallerhomes usually mean lower utility costs,as well.

“Single-family homes have a lot ofupkeep,” she said. “In a condo or villa,it’s taken care of for you.”

customers.“We have designer packages that are

very reasonable,” Ms. Walsh said. “Ourbase package is 4-1/2 hours of consulta-tion with a designer for $295. That caninclude floor plans, help with colors andhelp with shopping. They will evencome out to help with the placement offurniture. The 4 -1/2hours is for what-ever they need.”

City Furniture also offers same-daydelivery from Fort Pierce to Miami.

“It’s important for people with timeconstraints that we can deliver on thesame or next day,” she said. “That’s a bigthing if they’re down from up North. It’sone less thing to worry about if theyonly have a few days.”

Organizer helps put things in their place

FORT PIERCE - Lori Hennecke hasalways liked a place for everythingand everything in its place.

“I guess I’ve always loved puttingthings in order,” she said. “Dad was afarmer for many years and I helpedhim organize his paper work. He’donly let me do so much, and thenevery year at tax time, he’d say, ‘Helpme.’ You stash things away and boxesget shoved to the back and pile up. Alot of it is lack of knowledge of how toset up a system.”

Today, Ms. Hennecke’s business,iDoitAlljust4u, helps residents of St.Lucie and Indian River counties getorganized. It doesn’t matter whetherthey’re moving to a smaller space orjust want to know where things areand get rid of clutter.

Not surprisingly, Ms. Hennecke is a

big fan of lists, especially if they areconsidering a major change such as amove.

“Make a list of the benefits of down-sizing,” she said. “That could be sav-ing money, less work, lower taxes andmore free time. If your house is paidoff or the payments aren’t high, weighthat against condo and associationfees.

“Sometimes it’s better to stay anddownsize what they have. Downsiz-ing can be moving to a smaller placeor staying where you are but gettingrid of stuff. Every situation is differentand there’s not a wrong answer.”

Deciding what items to keep andwhat to get rid of is often an emotion-al decision.

“Going through items, you have toask if it will fit,” she said. “If you havean oversized bedroom set and asmaller bedroom, you may have to getrid of the huge furniture, or find a

place to accom-modate that butnot take every-thing else. Thedining area maybe smaller.

“You have toask yourselfwhat you can getby with or with-out. If you havethree sets of dishes, it’s like trying tostuff an elephant into a dog cage. Youwill have regrets. You might make itfit, but you’ll feel as if you’re in acage.”

Ms. Hennecke doesn’t necessarilytell people to get rid of everything.

“What I suggest when people moveis that if your bed fits, keep your bed.There’s nothing better than a goodnight’s sleep. Then start with new fur-niture. Nine times out of 10, the lay-out is not the same.

“The furniture may fit, but it maynot be as accommodating for thespace and may be too much. The bestthing, then, is an estate sale or sellingindividual pieces. You can sell in thenewspaper online and upload pho-tos.”

What your lifestyle will be after yourmove can dictate what you keep. Alarge sectional sofa may not be neces-sary for two people.

“It may not be functional for yournewer lifestyle,” Ms. Hennecke said.“You have to ask, ‘Am I able to takecare of it after I move it? Leather andcloth may require more care andexpensive wood may need to be takencare of. Do you want something mod-ern you just need to dust?”

Sentiment is always a factor whenpossessions are being evaluated. Ms.Hennecke suggests giving items to

dawns. I open my email to find acheery note from Lori, saying that it’sgoing to be a wonderful day. I am gladthat one of us believes that.

I have tried not to do any cleaningbecause I thought that would becheating. Now, I’m not so sure.

We are going to begin by sorting,she had said. I have spent yearsavoiding just that. Today begins a newday – I am ready, resolute. I amscared.

As I await the arrival of someone Iam beginning to think of as my drillsergeant, I begin trying to put thingsaway. Then suddenly, she’s here.

She comes in, and we sit at thetable, which has nothing on it. That,in itself, is strange, but I wanted tomake a good first impression.

I quickly learn that Lori, althoughfirm, is not a drill sergeant. She’s morelike a benevolent nanny, guiding mysteps and never scolding.

“Clutter is not the problem,” shetells me, although I might differ.“Clutter is the result of the problem.Think of it as the ‘dandelion effect.’We can make it pretty, like if someone

mows the yard and you take off thedandelion tops. It can come back ifwe don’t cut it at the root.”

Now, I know my problem. I thinkdandelions are pretty. I don’t know aflower from a weed.

The first thing we decided to focuson, with hurricane season ahead, isputting my important documents inone place, preferably a fireproof box. Idon’t have that, but I do have an oldcrate where we put titles, insurancepapers, Social Security cards, bankstatements and the like.

“When you know where those are,it’s peace of mind,” Lori said.

I know she’s right, but I can’t findone important document that I didn’trealize I couldn’t find. It’s the title tomy house. It will be peace of mind –once I find it.

Amazingly, the next day, I do.Lori said that mail is one of the

biggest sources of clutter.“Most people have no system for

what they do with mail,” she said. “Setup files with ‘Bills’ and ‘To Do’ sec-tions. Set a bill paying routine. Ittakes 21 days to form a good or badhabit. Every day, open the mail anddo something. Have a file folder forcoupons, and keep it in the car. What

good is it if it’s not with you?”“It’s not good if it’s not at hand

when you need it,” she continued.“You’ve set it aside and saved it fornothing because when you find it, it’sexpired.”

We continue setting up files and Iexclaim, “Bank Statement!” when Ifind one, as if I’ve discovered gold.

Lori is unfailingly patient andencouraging, even as I begin to flag.

After 90 minutes, I’m done for thissession. We’ve made a good start, butthere is much to do. She agrees tocome back in two weeks, and I willpress on, putting her smart advice togood use.

During the next few weeks, hun-dreds of old files, notes and otherpieces of paper leave the house.

I have turned into a filing fanatic.Empty cartons and egg crates are

piling up. I don’t want to get rid ofthem because they will form the basisof the new, improved filing system.

I am pumped. I really wanted to getrid of a lot of this stuff, but I didn’tknow where to start.

There is even carry-over. I havebegun clearing out the front seat ofmy car! Maybe somebody will be ableto ride with me soon.

As I work at uncluttering, I remem-ber what Lori told me.

“If you haven’t touched it in sixmonths to a year, unless it’s senti-mental or an heirloom, you probablydon’t need it,” she said. “This isdealing with the root of the problem.If you don’t deal with the problem, itwill come back. It’s really so simple.”

And that’s why she’s the profession-al.

For me, it’s back to the boxes. I havepremises to keep and things to filebefore I can sleep.

Hey, let’s face it as we near retire-ment age our lives are rolling alongover roads a little less bumpy. With thekids now on their own, nothing seemsquite as urgent as it once did.

Perhaps not all of our dreams wererealized but all in all it was an interest-ing journey. The weekly paycheck islong gone and we don’t have as muchbut then we don’t need as mucheither. Our wealth is now measured bythe time we have to do the things weenjoy. Reading, writing, long walks orjust sitting in the yard are a few of thethings we never had time for as weraised our children.

Many of us scrimped and saved topay the mortgage on the family homeand now it is either paid off or we havea fat equity in that house. If either istrue you might consider selling andmoving into a smaller place with yourprofit. You may be surprised how

much less room you can put up withwhen you have a nice sized bankaccount.

A recently retired couple that I knowsold their home and some investmentproperty that they owned and boughta luxurious motor home. Now theylive anywhere they happen to be forthe night. Those two are seeing Amer-ica and having a ball doing it. Ofcourse that type of lifestyle does notcome cheap and most of us are notquite that fortunate.

Even if we must take a part-timejob to supplement our retirementthere will still be time to enjoy the

community where we live. Here inCentral Florida we are truly blessed tobe surrounded by so many naturalwonders. Most of those require verylittle cash investment. All you reallyneed is time and that is something wenow find we have in surplus.

Hontoon Island near DeLand is aplace that many of us always plannedto visit. Maybe we actually made thattrip when the kids were young butgoing back now could be a totally dif-ferent experience. This time there willbe no snow cones to buy or emer-gency bathroom trips. Just the two ofyou enjoying the nature and history ofa beautiful spot.

If you do intend to do a little drivingyou may want to consider selling theminivan or that big SUV. A nice littleused sedan that gives good gasmileage could be all that you need.Washington Oaks on A1A in Flagler

County is a nice drive and beautifulpark and just a bit further north is thestate’s first marine attraction atMarineland.

Kayaks are great fun, good exerciseand inexpensive. If you have an oldpower boat that has been sitting inyour yard since the Carter Adminis-tration you may be able to sell it andturn it into a couple of nice kayaks.That little boat can take you to amaz-ing vistas you couldn’t ordinarily see.In the St. Johns River near Osteen theislands are loaded with alligators thatdon’t mind posing for pictures. Thesame is true of the waterways off LakeWoodruff near DeLeon Springs. Overat Canaveral National Seashore southof New Smyrna Beach on A1A you cansign up for classes on throwing a cast-net, shrimping or shell fishing. Allgood fun and easy to do.

Uncovering the past: land and propertyrecords can tell you more than you thinkLand records are probably the least-

utilized records for genealogyresearch.

There are many different types ofrecords kept, places to look, and infor-mation to be gleaned. It is not an easytask, but untangling land ownershipcould mean untangling your family his-tory.

From the time our country wasformed, records have been kept on landownership. Ninety-percent of the popu-lation’s adult white men owned landbefore 1850. These records come in theform of royal land grants, federal landgrants, deeds, bounty land warrants,land lotteries, land patents, homesteadsand property tax lists.

A land grant, or land patent, is the firsttransfer of the property. This is the trans-fer of land from the government to an

individual, so that if your ancestorreceived a grant or patent, he was theoriginal private owner of that land. Afterthat, the land was transferred betweenindividuals though deeds.

Bounty land warrants were pieces ofland given free to veterans for paymentfor their service in the military. Thesewere given between the RevolutionaryWar and the year 1855. These recordscan now be found with the militaryrecords via the National Archives andRecords Administration,www.archives.gov.

There were eight land lotteries held inGeorgia to distribute land that wastaken from the Indians. Eligible citizensplaced their names in the lottery andpaid a small fee. If their name wasdrawn, the winner took out a grant andpaid a fee. If he did not do this, the lotwas sold to the highest bidder. These lot-teries were held between 1805 and 1832.

Buying and selling of property hasalways been recorded in the courthous-es. If the courthouse was destroyed, thedeeds were almost always brought backand recorded again to maintain legalproof of ownership.

The original document was alwayskept by the landowner, and was copiedby the clerk. Always check the date of therecord itself, and not the date it wasrecorded. Often, it was not recorded orre-recorded until several years after it

was originally signed.Information contained in these

records is so varied, you never knowwhat valuable tidbit or mass of informa-tion you may find.

Starting with the names of the grantorand grantee, their place of residence willbe listed. This will pinpoint an exactplace and time where your ancestorlived. It may also tell where he lived pre-viously.

From there, the record will describethe tract of land, and may name adja-cent landowners. They may be your typ-ical neighbors, or they may be named asrelatives. The document may list severalother relatives such as spouse, parentsand children. This would apply especial-ly if this was part of an estate.

Mini homes a newhousing trend

Urban apartment dwellers may notbe the only people residing in smallspaces. The new trend in Americanhome living is housing downsizing,when individuals decide to live in sig-nificantly closer quarters -- some aslittle as a walk-in closet.

Move over McMansions, micro-homes are the latest craze for cost- andeco-conscious individuals looking tocapitalize on the American dream ofhome ownership. On the heels ofhomes doubling to over twice the sizeof traditional European homes in thelast half century, the scale is tipping inthe other direction. The national aver-age house size dropped for the firsttime in nearly 15 years, about theequivalent of one room.

As the national family size averagecontinues to shrink as well, many peo-ple are finding they simply do not needas much house as in the past. Othersare taking smaller homes to theextreme, preferring micro-houses thatoffer living space in as little as 65square feet with customizable kitchen,sleeping and living areas.

There are some advantages to livingin a small abode, most notably cost.According to Jay Shafer, owner of theTumbleeweed Tiny House Company,people can build a tiny home for as lit-tle as $20,000. That's a far cry from theaverage home price of $250,000.

As 1 in 5 people in the U.S. owe moreon their homes than the house's cur-rent value, and with the governmentforeclosing on roughly 3 millionhomes last year alone, a small home

Downsizing yourhome doesn’tmean the grand-kids can’t visit --but they mightneed to bringsleeping bags tocamp out in theliving room.

Also note the witnesses, who maybe related. Other amazing facts may beincluded for no apparent reason, suchas how the land had been passeddown through the family over theyears. Here is your family tree!

As you trace your family backthrough time, you should alwaysinclude a search of their property. Thiswill tell you not only how it wasacquired, but also how it was disposedof at the end. Did he inherit it throughhis family or did he move from anotherlocation and buy it? How long did heown it? Did he sell it and move away?Was it left as an estate, upon his death,and divided among his family or soldat a sheriff’s sale to cover his debts?The amount of land he owned will giveyou an indication of his financial andsocial status.

As you learn about his neighborsand neighborhood, you will find thenearest churches, schools, cemeteries,

and relationships. You will begin to seea network form between these familiesas they intermarry and begin tomigrate around the country together.

As you find these records, and beginto locate the land on the plat map, youwill become more interested in wherethese people actually lived in today’sworld. Is it in the middle of a large city,possibly on a main thoroughfare?Maybe it is still in a rural area muchlike it was in his day. Is the house stillstanding, or the stream that is shownrunning through the property on theplat map still there?

I have found in my family, what goesaround, comes around. Several of myfather’s relatives have migrated to theexact areas my mother’s ancestorslived 150 years ago. How odd, to knowthat they live right down the road fromwhere my other ancestors lived, wayback then. They may end up in thesame cemetery.

Restoring an antique car can beboth fun and rewarding. You prob-ably won’t be able to afford that ‘57Chevy convertible you alwaysdreamed of but if you poke aroundthe edges of some car lots you justmight find a reasonable ‘82 Oldsjust like the one you had when thechildren were young. Rememberany auto that is over 25 years old isa certified antique and is eligiblefor car shows.

As we traveled the highway oflife some of us have acquired aspecial skill or two. Now would bea great time to pass those skills onto a kid. Woodworking, metalengraving, painting or drawing area few hobbies that are nice toshare. Who knows, by teaching ayoungster your pastime you justmight ease your own journey on aroad less bumpy.

“Ask yourself what items are hold-ing you back and cluttering your life,”Ms. Hennecke said. “You’re holdingonto things that could make money.They need to part with them to dothe things they want to do.”

Finally, Ms. Hennecke suggests hir-ing a professional organizer.

“I can be with them through asmuch or as little of the process asthey want,” she said. “Sometimes Icome one or two times, just to getthem going. This is a major step inlife. Make it a good experience andnot a dreadful one.”

Nine interior fixes to sell a home fast

Despite low interest rates and decliningsale prices, there is still a lot of home inven-tory available. That means homeownersthinking about selling have to do whateverthey can to set their homes apart from theothers available.

Real estate experts call it "staging," or pre-senting the home in the best light so thatpotential buyers can envision themselvesmoving right in. Just a few changes here andthere can position a home to sell faster thanthe competition.

1. The nose knows. A house can be perfectinside and out, but if it smells bad, buyerswill likely be put off. Make sure there is nonoticeable odor, such as pet smells, garbage,stale smoke, etc., to turn off others.

2. Clear out. Make sure the interior looksas spacious as possible. This could meantaking out some furniture and temporarilyputting it in storage. Be sure countertops inbathrooms and kitchens are free of clutter.And pack away knick-knacks that can col-lect dust.

3. Cater to the lazy person. Potential buy-ers generally want to move in and simplyunpack. They don't want to make majorrepairs. Therefore, homeowners should dowhatever repairs are possible, within rea-son. If that means tearing down dated wall-paper or replacing carpeting with hard-wood floors, it could mean a faster sale.

4. Do a deep cleaning. Whether a cleaningservice is hired or the homeowner does ithimself, tackling necessary cleaning proj-ects could make the home shine. Now is thetime to wash the windows, shampoo thecarpets, regrout the bathrooms, and tackleall of those messes that could compromise asale.

5. Add a fresh coat of paint. If walls arebright colors or eclectic, it could pay to paintrooms in more neutral shades to appeal tothe masses. Just be aware that some buyersare suspicious of paint, especially freshlypainted ceilings. They may think a home-owner is trying to hide something, usuallywater stains.

6. Keep the home updated. While onedoesn't have to follow every trend, ensuringthe home is ageless can make for a better

sell. So if the cabinets scream 1985 and thebathroom is circa 1967, it could be time todo some updating.

7. Create "happy" spaces. Buyers don'twant to purchase a dark home that seemsfull of doom and gloom. Open the windows,turn on the lights, add lights to dark roomsand use light colors as room accents. Gener-ally buyers want a bright and light home.

8. Avoid provocation. One potential buyercould be an animal lover, another a politicalactivist. No one can tell who will view thehome. So don't display personal items thatmight offend. Take down mounted deerheads and put away books that may seemoffensive. It can be a good idea to store reli-gious items as well.

9. Clean out closets and cabinets: Partiallyempty closets and cabinets give the sugges-tion that the home is large and has plenty ofstorage space -- so much so that it doesn'teven all need to be used. Buyers who seejam-packed closets could wonder what's upwith storage.

Selling a home in a tough market can beeasier when homeowners take the stepsneeded to stage homes for a faster sale.
