At Bellava Spa in Bedford Hills, we offer one of the hottest, state-of-the-art skin procedures that can actually transform the skin itself for a younger, more radiant appearance! Our clients rave about the Microlaser Peel since it delivers smoother, healthier, more vibrant skin, with an immediate change in skin texture and tightness when compared to lighter peels and microdermabrasion. The photofacial (IPL) is another amazing skin treatment that reverses the effects if sun damage and skin aging, eliminating brown spots (age spots), redness/rosacea, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores and rough skin.

Listen to the Music!
Deborah Molodofsky, Amadeus Conservatory of Music & Theater:
“In the glow of the upcoming holiday season, give your children the special pleasures of hearing live music by taking them to a wonderful upcoming holiday concert in Westchester and/or New York City. Beloved musical traditions include: The Nutcracker at New York City Ballet at Lincoln Center or the Westchester Ballet Company in White Plains, the Carnegie Hall Family Concerts with the New York Pops, the Little Orchestra Society concerts at Lincoln Center and the Kaye Playhouse (don’t miss the wonderful Tubby the Tuba), the New York Philharmonic Young People’s Concerts, the Messiah at Carnegie Hall, and many, many others. The concerts will give you special time with your children, and will bring added joy to the whole family!”
Adopt a Pet from the SPCA!
Kitchen and Bath Source’s Nicole Balsamo Stonbely and her husband Rob are certainly advocates of adopting a furry best friend. At their beautiful White Plains show room early this fall, they graciously hosted a festive and well attended “Casino Night” to benefit the SPCA of Westchester. www.kbskitchen.com
Are woodpeckers damaging your house or deck?
Most people would agree that woodpeckers are beautiful birds to look at, particularly with the bright red feathers on their head and black and white striped feathers on their bodies. But late autumn is the time of year when woodpeckers can become a real nuisance to homeowners.
Woodpeckers peck holes in trees, decks, and wood siding on homes for three reasons … for drumming, feeding, and nesting. Woodpeckers “drum” in order to make noise, either for attracting a mate or to advertise that the nearby territory is claimed. Woodpeckers also make holes in search of food, like beetles, larvae and other insects. And finally, extensive drilling in one location can mean a woodpecker is looking to make a nest.
When woodpeckers are pecking, they do not differentiate between a tree, and other types of wood. So this is when woodpeckers can damage your deck or home. Covering up the holes will not prevent the woodpeckers from pecking somewhere else on your deck or home. And most people don’t realize that woodpeckers are protected, so harming them in anyway is against the law.
So how can homeowners protect their homes and decks from pecking woodpeckers this fall/winter? There are many different types of deterrents on the market. After many years of experience, the knowledgeable staff at Chappaqua Paint & Hardware have found that the two most effective deterrents are fake owls and scare tape. Owls are a natural predator to woodpeckers, so putting a decoy up on your house will scare woodpeckers away. And scare tape is a shiny aluminum foil like tape that is hung on bushes or the deck or house and the reflective nature of the tape deters woodpeckers from landing anywhere nearby. Sometimes with persistent woodpeckers, we suggest using both deterrents at one time.
Whatever problems you encounter with woodpeckers or any other types of birds, we are here to help. We at Chappaqua Paint & Hardware are your resource for all your homeowner needs, damaging birds or otherwise. We have a knowledgeable and experienced staff that can advise you on the best products and assist you with any household problem. We hope to see you in our store soon!
