But what goals are set for their homes? “The New Year brings fresh perspective and is the perfect time to experiment with décor,” says Taniya Nayak, interior designer and DIY television personality. Here are six home décor trends Nayak predicts will be filling your Pinterest feed in 2016. Nature’s Patterns For clean interior spaces with lots of detail, try simple designs inspired by nature, such as honeycombs, florals and leaves. “Pair these with neutral colors for a soothing atmosphere, or blow them up and paint them in a bright color for a bold statement,” says Nayak. You can also integrate natural patterns through accent pieces, such as light fixtures that have reflective metals to mimic sparkling water, or a textured jute rug. Digitally Defined “Geometric shapes and angles have become associated with technology; evoking creativity and innovative design,” says Nayak. Incorporate this trend with geometric floor tiles in different colors. Or use pixilation for a modern, clean look. Pixelated artwork made up of monochromatic cubes can be simplistic and versatile. Presswork Palette Fresh and Fab Generate conversation and set the tone for your space by incorporating text into your décor -- think monograms, family names or inspirational quotes. “Use various fonts and sizes to create different moods,” says Nayak. “Letters can be sharp and defined to create a contemporary and stylish aesthetic, or soft and casual for an elegant and timeless feel.” Multiple bright colors mixed together elevate the mood in any space. Paint a bold accent wall for an eye-catching statement. Or brightly paint a piece of antique furniture for an unexpected combination of modern and traditional. “When it comes to painting an accent wall or furniture, one of the most important tools you need is AUCTIONS 117.5 ACRES IRRIGATED YANKTON COUNTY LAND AUCTION We will offer the following land at auction in the Lesterville Community Center on Main Ave in Lesterville SD TUESDAY, JANUARY 19TH - 10:00 AM Sold in Lesterville SD Community Center 117.5 Acres Irrigated Unimproved Land Located from Lesterville SD, 3 North, 3 East and ¼ North or from Junction of Highways 81 and 46, 7 miles West and ¼ North or from Jct Hwy 46 and 433rd Ave, go ¼ mile North The real estate consists of 117.5 Acres of irrigated farm land.

Treated with PaintBlock Technology, FrogTape brand Multi-Surface and Delicate Surface tapes can be used on a variety of surfaces and help deliver sharp lines, so your handiwork looks professional. Textured Terrain From transformed wood pallets to worn leather or tin ceilings, aged raw materials offer texture and help give a space dimension. “Incorporate it into an application where you wouldn’t typically think to use the material,” suggests Nayak. “For example, use concrete on a wall instead of the floor.” Home décor items can easily be made to look aged by adding paint and other finishes for a distressed look. Global Style Create a warm, friendly space with a parade of patterns from different cultures. “Don’t be afraid to mix multiple prints within a space,” says Nayak. “Tie these patterns together by carrying a similar color throughout each element in the room.” “When trying a new trend, make sure it accurately represents your style -- and remember you don’t have to go all out,” adds Nayak. “Any concept can be incorporated as little or as much as you’d like.” This New Year, update your home and accomplish your resolution in style. Caring for Elderly Relatives: Making it Easier on Your Family (StatePoint) It can be difficult for families when an elderly loved one starts to weaken physically and mentally. While nursing homes are an option, most are extremely expensive, and most seniors would prefer to remain in familiar surroundings. Fortunately, there are now more choices available that can provide seniors the freedom to continue living safely in their own home. The average cost of an assisted living facility is $43,200 annually, and the cost of a nursing home with private room can cost over $90,000 a year, according to the 2015 Genworth Cost of Care Survey. Such a huge, ongoing expense can have an enormous impact on the average family, whether they have prepared financially or not. “Even for families where such costs are not prohibitive, parents are often reluctant to leave homes filled with years of memories, and be placed into an unfamiliar environment, living with strangers,” says health care systems expert Jack Zhang, President and CEO of the fast-growing health technology company, Vitall Inc. Caring for older parents and relatives doesn’t necessarily need to involve relocation or spending tens of thousands of dollars annually. Zhang says there are a few important things to consider.

HeyMomDad gives seniors two different alert options. They can choose to alert only family and friends, or alert family, friends and 911. In addition, the HeyMomDad Bed Monitor tracks heart rate, breathing rate and movement at night. Maintaining Independence For many seniors, one of the most difficult parts of aging is the loss of independence. When possible, families should consider making homes senior friendly, adding safety bars in the shower and bath, eliminating tripping hazards, improving lighting in hallways and outdoor walkways, and making kitchens more accessible with countertops and cabinets that can rise or lower with the push of a button. And new two-way communication and monitoring systems can add further peace of mind. More information can be found at www. HeyMomDad.com or 1-800352-0887. 605-660-1207 M I S S O U R I VA L L E Y Seniors need only press one button to talk to loved ones, notify them that help is needed, or to just say hello.
