DESIGNER TIPS ON CREATING YOUR HOME REMODELING WISH LIST According to a recent study, most people today don't look for perfection when buying a new home. The concept of "move-in ready" seems to be changing. More than half of all buyers today plan to update or overhaul some aspect of their home. So, whether you plan simply to breathe new life into your decor, or you anticipate a minor bathroom redo or a major kitchen renovation, you are not alone. PLAN AHEAD FOR YOUR REMODEL PROJECT What is the best way to assure that your remodel project will turn out to be a dream come true? There is simply no substitute for thorough planning, and the best way to begin the process is to make lists. Take a walk through your house: Note what you love and what you hate. Nothing is too trivial to include, whether it's the great backyard view or the way the sunlight spills through the kitchen window early in the morning. The second step is to think about the way you live your life: On a schedule, relaxed and easy, surrounded by friends and family or only home on weekends? As you proceed, refine and crystallize your needs as well as your desires. Take the time to write down must have features for your interior renovation; note the need for more storage or display space. Then move on to the wish list: A warming drawer or indoor grill; a steam shower or towel warmers in the master bath? Your wish list may shrink or expand, but you will emerge with a clear idea of what's important, what's possible, and what your finished space will look like. BEST WAYS TO APPROACH A RENOVATION • Decide if your planned renovation is an immediate need to correct a fault or repair a flaw. If the timeline is short due to necessity, make an appointment with a design professional at your first opportunity to investigate the options and develop a budget that you can live with. Know that the time you spend "getting your ducks in a row" is by no means wasted. In fact, the early planning may be the most important aspect of your remodel. • Zero in on the scope of your renovation. It's possible, even if you have an immediate need to repair a leaking shower, for instance, to plan your ultimate renovation in stages. Work with a professional to assure that all work is planned and undertaken in a logical way and don't act until you have a reasonably firm grasp on your final vision. Develop a budget; secure the financing if appropriate and consult with building professionals before ordering materials or scheduling any work. • Approach your home remodeling logically. The process can be fun; approach it as a new adventure. Spend time dreaming: Explore sites like Pinterest for ideas. Read "real people" stories and get inspiration from pictures posted on Houzz.com. Watch design and decor shows on television. Visit showrooms to "touch and feel" new sustainable materials and learn about the ins and outs of faucets, fixtures, and appliances. • Develop a rapport and an ongoing, trusting relationship with your design consultant, your sales representative and your contractor. The design team at The Kitchen Master, takes pride in their knowledge and expertise of all interior design and renovation. The Kitchen Master has been helping Chicagoland homeowners achieve their dreams for over 4 decades.

TRANSPLANT OFFERING BEST HOPE FOR SURVIVAL FOR LOCAL RESIDENT Trish Wegner of Naperville is looking for an angel. This grandmother of three little girls has a congenital condition called Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) which caused multiple cysts to form on her kidneys and liver, eventually making them not able to function. There is no cure for PKD. Eventually you either end up on dialysis or get a kidney transplant to survive. The transplant offers the best chance of survival as dialysis will wear the body down over time and can lead to premature death. In February, she was told that her kidney function had gotten so bad it was time for a transplant. In Illinois alone, there are over 3,800 people waiting to receive a kidney. Nationally, according to 2014 statistics, 13 people die each day while waiting for a kidney transplant. The chances of survival are better if you can receive a live donor kidney. The kidney works sooner and lasts longer. Now Trish is looking far and wide. Who can help? The donor must be under the age of 70, not have high blood pressure, other heart disease, diabetes or cancer. Although she is looking for someone with either A or O blood type, anyone can complete the donor paperwork because, if you are willing, you can indirectly help her by donating a kidney to someone else for whom you are a match and who has a donor that is a match for Trish. The transplant center calls it a “swapportunity”. The first step is to complete the living donor kidney health questionnaire at https://www.nm.org/conditions-and-care-areas/organ-transplantation/living-donor-organ-transplantation (scroll down to downloads and click on the kidney donor health questionnaire and send that into Northwestern. They will determine if you should have your blood tested to see if you are a match. As a donor, you do not pay anything. “I would love to watch my grandbabies grow up and not be tied to dialysis that will eventually wear my body down,” says Trish. “You never know where that angel on earth will show up and be willing to give me their kidney.” For more information, you can call or text her at (630) 283-2843. –Mindy Kyle #GlancerMagazine #HealthWellness #CaringSharing #TrishWegner #KidneyTransplant #KidneyDonor #Naperville #LocalWomentoKnow #LocalWomen #TrendingNow

GOOD MORNING AMERICA'S LINSEY DAVIS SET TO VISIT ANDERSON'S BOOKSHOP WITH A NEW BOOK – THE WORLD IS AWAKE NAPERVILLE–Simple lessons of appreciation for the world around us are at the heart of new picture book by “Good Morning America” news correspondent, Linsey Davis.

Jefferson Ave. (630) 355-2665. Davis turned her attention from asking the hard-hitting questions of newsmakers to raising the direct questions of little ones. Who opens the flowers?

To join the booksigning line, please purchase the author’s featured book at Anderson’s Bookshop.

A butterfly floats through the sun and the shade, while dragonflies flit past the flowers and trees and grasshoppers hop in the soft morning breeze. The World Is Awake, A celebration of everyday blessings, written by Emmy Award winner and ABC News correspondent Linsey Davis with Joseph Bottum, is a lyrical, rhyming story for young children intended to make them feel safe and joyful, cradled in the hands of God. Paired with bright and engaging illustrations by Lucy Fleming, this book inspires children to be thankful for all of God’s blessings that surround us in our daily lives. From the nature in our own backyard to the animals at the zoo, The World is Awake is a celebration of God’s wonderful world. About the Author: Davis is a correspondent for ABC News. She’s been filing reports for “World News,” “Good Morning America,” “20/20” and “Nightline” since 2007.

SWEET TREATS ALL AROUND FOR NAPERVILLE BIKERS As part of a community education and safety awareness campaign, the Naperville Police Department has partnered with the Naperville Park District Police to help promote bicycle safety throughout the community. Officers from both departments will be rewarding residents demonstrating good bike safety practices with a coupon for a free donut redeemable at Naperville Dunkin Donut locations. Crime Prevention Specialist Mary Browning emphasized the importance of this campaign by cautioning that although bicycling is a fun activity and a great way to become and remain fit, bicyclists can be seriously injured in accidents. They are less protected than drivers of automobiles and do not always practice safe riding. “This bike safety initiative is another way to remind residents of all ages to learn and practice the bike rules of the road,” Browning said. “With more bicyclists riding during the summer months, we wanted to use this donut reward to make sure they ‘do nut’ forget to ride safely. We thought this initiative would be a fun and creative way to encourage good bike safety habits.” Coupons will be awarded through the end of August 2018. The purpose of this initiative is to urge all bicyclists to always wear a helmet, obey all traffic laws, lock up bikes when not in use and be visible and predictable. Additional bike safety rules are printed on the back of the coupon as another reminder to stay safe. Naperville Park District Police would also like to encourage those bicyclists using the bike paths and trails throughout Naperville’s parks to “Share the Trail” by always yielding to pedestrians, including hikers and joggers, staying to the right, alerting others when passing or approaching on the trail and controlling their speed at all times. As part of this Summer Bike Safety Campaign, both police departments also recommend the following bike safety tips to enjoy a safe and secure ride, every time! Wear a bike helmet at all times. Wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent Keep your bike in good working condition. Be sure tires are properly inflated, brakes work and the chain is clean and well oiled Ride single file on the roadway, as far to the right as practical Obey all traffic laws and slow down and check traffic at all corners and intersections Watch parked cars for pedestrians and opening doors Keep both hands on the handle bars except when indicating turn signals Stay off busy streets Have a headlight on your bike when riding at night, as well as rear and wheel reflectors Wear light-colored and/or reflective clothing while riding Only one person on the bike No stunt riding Do not carry packages or bundles when riding No hitching rides from cars Do not wear headsets while riding Always yield to pedestrians Secure the bike when finished riding The Naperville Police Department also encourages bicyclists to register their bikes in case of loss or theft. Bike registrations are accepted at the Naperville Police Department, 1350 Aurora Ave. during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Registration forms are found on the City of Naperville’s website at: www.naperville.il.us/protectyourbike . For more information on bike safety and security, bicycle registration and suggested locking devices, contact the Crime Prevention Unit (630) 420-6731 or visit the City of Naperville’s website at: www.naperville.il.us/protectyourbike . #GlancerMagazine #Naperville #NapervillePoliceDepartment #NapervilleParkDistrict #KidsTeens #CommunityNews #DuPageCounty
