What's Hot in Home Decor for 2006
For months, industry experts have kept a close barometer on the fashion world, trade shows and other key indicators to help forecast home decor trends for the coming year. And the weather report is in. Within a prevailing climate of personalization, the outlook is both spirited and sassy, serene and stylish.
Treat Your Deck Right
Chances are you'd rather sit on your deck and drink an iced tea instead of spending a weekend refinishing it. But the fact is that regular maintenance of your deck will help it last longer and look better. To get the best results, make sure you choose the right products.
Building an In-Ground Pool is Easier than You Might Think
In-ground backyard pools are a great addition to any home. They not only add a focal point to your yard, and increase your resale value, they also keep the entire family entertained. What better way to spend a leisurely weekend afternoon than lounging by the pool with the kids?
Instant Storage Solutions
Feel like you're trapped in your own house? Unable to navigate through a constantly growing sea of stuff? Whether it's clothes, paperwork, tech toys, sports gear, hobby tools - or all of the above and more - our possessions need a place of their own, so our homes and our lives are easier to manage.
The Glamour of Gutters
Unless you built your home in the desert, chances are you need to think about your rain gutters. Ignore them for long, and you'll get a reminder of why water is considered the most powerful element on Earth.
Let There Be Light (in a Weekend Morning)
If you're a homeowner with an area in your home that needs more natural light -- say a hallway, laundry room, closet, or a windowless bath, an easy-to-install skylight could be the answer. And if you're one of the millions of handy do-it-yourselfers in America, you can handle the installation in a weekend morning.
Tips to Make Painting Easier
Summer is the season of the "do-it-yourselfer." Handy homeowners come into their own as the weather warms and they can embark on all those home improvement and maintenance tasks that languished all winter. Painting tops the list for many homeowners; it not only protects your interiors, painting is a great way to liven things up.
Get Sunglasses For Your Home -- Why Shade is So Important
We've been hearing this advice since we were kids. Before you go outside on a warm, sunny day put on sunscreen to protect your skin, a hat and sunglasses to protect your eyes. And while you're outside, drink plenty of fluids and seek out the shade. If you don't, before you know it, you could be dealing with heat exhaustion and a pretty bad sunburn.
Outdoor Living Made Simple
Admit it. You love the great outdoors. Entertaining friends. Watching the kids run through the sprinkler. Napping on your patio. There's a host of life happening outside the home, and more homeowners than ever are seizing the opportunity to make their patios and yards extensions of their living space.
Appliance on the Fritz? Fix it Yourself and Save Money
The next time your oven overheats or your washing machine wilts, don't call the repairman. Think about what happened last time you did that.
