It's a pleasure to introduce you to both Angela Hasted and Keenan Boliek-Poling. But first, the good news of the week....  

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK
We spotted this online and had to share. The video just posted and it already has millions of views. God bless that bus driver who sensed something was wrong, and made it right.  

Do you have any good news to share? Please send your stories to us and we'd love to hear from you. Who knows? Your story just might be next week's Good News of the Week, inspiring others and giving us all hope that there are more good people in the world than what we hear on the nightly news.

​Contact us.

PRO CORNER: Angela Hasted

Angie learned how much she loves helping people with their homes after 10 years at Finishing Touch, the go-to place for Los Alamos home decorating. Six years ago she was hired as the store manager of of  Raby Home Solutions in Santa Fe, and she talks about all things flooring related (thus the title of this week's podcast).  A few of the topics we covered...  Tile: ceramic or porcelain? Wood:  real or engineered? Is the advice for anyone or does it change regionally? Can you install engineered wood on radiant heated slab? How much extra do you order? Angie is a wealth of information. 

If you're doing a project small or large, stop in and see Angie Hasted at 2911 Cerillos Road in Santa Fe.  Whether you're DIYing it, or need their expert installers, she'll help you through the process. Phone 505.471.8908.  
YOU ASKED - WE LISTENED. We've received many questions about flooring, so we brought in Angela "Angie" Hasted, a flooring expert.

GIVING BACK: Keenan Boliek-Poling

We can't wait to see what's next on the horizon for Keenan.
After graduating from University of New Mexico, Keenan wanted to give back, and AmeriCorps was the answer. He is now wrapping up his term as AmeriCorps Construction Crew Leader at Santa Fe's Habitat for Humanity.   His gentle demeanor and giving heart also "floored" us. Hear about the national build event, affordable housing, and more.

AmeriCorp offers the opportunity to be of service, earn a living wage while you serve, and then receive a scholarship to use for education (pay off student loans, or towards future education, etc.). What an excellent way to give back to communities right here in the US!  This particular partnership between AmeriCorp and Habitat combines two of the causes near and dear to our hearts - giving back and helping families get into affordable housing.  Win-win. For more info visit AmeriCorps. Are you or a loved one looking to give back here at home in the U.S.? Explore AmeriCorps / Habitat partnership.

Note to Keenan:  Best of luck in the Master of Architecture program starting next month. We'll be keeping our eyes on you, for we are sure you are destined to have a great impact on this world.

​This week's music, MJ's Get on the Floor.  Clever? We thought so too. 

​Go out and BE A LIGHT... at home, at work and in your own community. Tune in next Sunday at 2 (MT) as we make your house a home.

​Be Your Own Designer returns. We'll also hear from Alicia and Alecia.  Be sure to come back right here for the podcast. Thanks for giving us a thumbs up and sharing with your friends.

Rob & Ron,  two outstanding men who are doing great things. 

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK: Street Symphony

Pictureclick for link
Every week we feature some good news, highlighting the best in humanity.  This week, it's the  Los Angeles Street Symphony, bringing the healing  power of live music to those who need it most. Homeless, and incarcerated folks  are transformed by the stunningly beautiful sounds of this sweet symphony.  

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER:  You must fill your home with these three things

Alana presents budget friendly ways to make your house more of a home. They're so budget-friendly in fact, that they cost you nothing. Nada. Zip.   Rather than stressing over your next big home goods purchase, instead gather loved ones and create #memories at home. Instead of agonizing over what artwork to have installed, snip some beautiful blossoms from your garden and enjoy the bounty of #MotherNature on your entryway table. What is the best element to add to your home? #Laughter.  You'll want to hear this week's tip.

PRO CORNER: Rob Lochner of Habitat for Humanity of Santa Fe

Rob Lochner started helping people with their homes when he was just 13 years young. Fast forward today and he is now the construction manager at Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity.

​Hear him talk about how #EnergyEfficient the Habitat homes are. If you have a heart for giving back, volunteer at your own Habitat for Humanity  in the U.S. or help with their Global Village program. You can also support them by donating and shopping at their ReStore (one of our favorite places!)

​Call Santa Fe's Habitat at 505.986.5880

GIVING BACK: Ron Hidalgo of Silver Horizons New Mexico

PictureRon Hidalgo
What do you have in your wallet right now? $5? That five dollar bill would feed a low income NM senior for five weeks. You read that right... five weeks! This is possible due to the efforts of Ron Hidalgo. the Executive Director of Silver Horizons of New Mexico.

Every month Silver Horizons feeds seniors, provides utility assistance and offers help with home repairs. For information on how you can help, call Ron at 505.800.1400 or email him at Ron@SilverHorizons.org

THINGS ARE LOOKING UP

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER TIP:  Popcorn Ceilings

We love popcorn. (Extra butter, please.) But what do you do if you have popcorn ceilings?

Beyond scraping off the popcorn, (which is not fun!) there are some great options to cover up that lumpy, bumpy, cottage cheese looking ceiling. Metal panels are a reference to the glory days of the Victorian era. The look can be surprisingly elegant in a modern interior.   MDF  wood look planks are especially beautiful when combined with wood beams.  Bead-board for a fresh take on the cottage look.  Drywall, using ceiling grade gypsum board (which is lighter than traditional drywall.) And then there's plain old fashioned wood, like our previous guest #DIY Steve used for his own ceiling.  

​Thankfully there are many options beyond scraping off the old popcorn ceilings. Things are looking up indeed.

PRO CORNER:  Deborah Trouw

Picture


​Deborah Trouw of Waddel & Reed, Inc. brought us information about financial planning. Some of the topics covered include assisting people managing their parents' estate, whether you need to be a homeowner to see a financial planner, and more. Be sure to listen for how Deborah likens financial planning to furniture arranging!  

To contact Deborah phone 505.984.3856.


​Giving Back:  Douglas Maahs

It is true.  Doug owns D. Maahs Construction.  Yes, he is the founder and former president of Honey Do Home Repair, Kitchens & Closets Too, a multi million dollar contracting and cabinet firm.  Doug Maahs was also President of the Santa Fe Area Homebuilders' Association. 2012 Builder of the Year and 2013 Parade of Homes award winner for Best Kitchen & Best Craftsmanship? That was him.   Eleven time category winner and 2 time Grand Award winner in the excellence in remodeling Showcase. You guessed it.  Doug Maahs.    But that's not why he was invited to be on this week's show.

To give back to the community, Doug Maahs now is also the Chairman for the Board of Advisors' for the beloved Santa Fe tradition,  St John's College Music on the Hill.  Thanks to the generous support of sponsors, this family-friendly six week free concert series kicks off Wednesday June 14th.  Bring the family and a picnic, and kick off your shoes and dance to the setting sun.   That is our kind of Santa Fe experience every vacationer will enjoy.

We're always better together!  

Shout-out to growing audience around the world, and to the outstanding team on the Santa Fe Habitat for Humanity Women Build event this week.  (pictured)

Today's guests talk about handmade furniture... and how one hour a week will change someone's life (and yours!)  But first, this week's tip for your own home...

BE YOUR OWN DESIGNER TIP: Less 'Stuff' is Better

Having too much stuff is a burden, not a blessing.  No, you don't have to live an austere, monk-like existence,m but admittedly most of us have too much in our homes.​You can't reach for anything new if you're arms are still hanging onto yesterday's junk. Learn the three simple steps to letting go of the clutter and keeping it that way.

1)  Junk Hunt:  out with the obvious
2)  Choose: The magic number
3)  Keeping It: easy rule, even a child can do

GOOD NEWS OF THE WEEK: Baltimore Maryland's Andres (Andy) Gonzales and his friends Ali & Atman started Holistic Life Foundation. They bring meditation into schools and it’s replaced detention!
