Yards Continued from Page 11 Homeowners should start small, it says, creating a wildscape in one part of the yard and adding to it as weather and finances permit. Perennials are ideal in wildscapes, and newly planted native trees will need extra water at first. Avoid waterhogging grasses. “Anybody can do it, and you can do it on any size home,” said Kelly Bender, an urban wildlife biologist for the department. “Most people have some understanding of this. It’s just refining that understanding.” Putting in heartier native plants and vegetation brings yards alive with butterflies, hummingbirds and other birds. A wildscape provides food, water, shelter and space for wildlife to flee predators and raise their young. In Lubbock, Jackie Driskill, 62, advocates for native plants as president of the South Plains Chapter of the Texas Master Naturalists. She’s been putting in plants that can handle the heat and drought conditions for about a decade, and her property gets noticed, she said. “It’s kind of evolved from a typical yard to wildscaping,” she said. “We’re kind of an oddball in our area.” In Dallas, wildscapes have been planted in some public venues. Judy Meagher, a master gardener and
master naturalist, said volunteers tend to the wildscape next to the Museum of Natural History at Fair Park, but only infrequently because the space needs little care or water. Wildscapes “are critical in urban settings because we’ve stripped the wildlife habitat when we develop them, in most cases,” said Mark Klem, who handles certification of wildscapes for the Parks and Wildlife Department. With a limited amount of water and a state population expected to double by 2060, Texans need to make changes, Meagher said. Residents should use mulch to help retain soil moisture, and harvest rainwater off their roofs. “This is our chance,” she said. “This is an opportunity to make all the changes we’ve been needing to make. We are headed toward severe problems” as the population grows. The best time to plant is fall, but homeowners might want to check with a local nursery about what to plant as the drought persists. “What we’re going to see this summer is more severe cutbacks on water use from municipalities,” said the department’s water resource chief, Cindy Loeffler. “That’s going to force people to rethink their outdoor watering.” The kit offers hints for cutting water use inside and outside, including checking your home for leaks, taking shorter showers, and watering in the early morning when it’s cool and less windy.

Freshen up your home this spring (ARA) - Warmer temperatures, green grass and increased daylight help shake off the winter blues and inspire home and yard improvements to spruce up your surroundings. Whether you’re remodeling to stay put, or putting your home on the market, consider home improvement and design trends as you plan your renovation projects. Add bold, bright colors Need a color boost? Fresh color recommendations from the Pantone Color Institute include Tangerine Tango, Solar Power, Bellflower and Cabaret. Try adding a splash of these vivid hues to help alter your mood and boost vitality and enthusiasm. Repaint a wall, bookcase or front door for a bold color burst. Or sprinkle splashes of color with new covers for patio furniture, area rugs, pillows or window treatments. Go green, save green Among the top green home trends from buildipedia.com is renovating to reduce your home’s heating and cooling load. Add more insulation in the walls,
roof and floors or seal up leaks or install new windows and doors. Look for ENERGY STAR-qualified products that help lower your home’s energy consumption, and in turn, your utility bills. Low-maintenance Pella 350 Series vinyl windows and patio doors feature a premium look in an energy-saving design that is the most energy-efficient product line the company offers. Energize your entry No time for major renovations? Weekend projects, like installing a new front door to welcome guests to dinners, graduations and get-togethers, can transform your entryway with minimal hassle and cost. Consider installing a 36-inch-wide entry door to add more room to maneuver. Whether you’re carrying a baby or a bag of groceries, or need extra space for a wheelchair or walker, wider entry doors are ideal for nearly any home - especially multigenerational ones. Today’s hottest entry door trends revolve around styles, materials and per-
formance. “The Craftsman style remains a popular choice for entry doors,” says Steve Brenizer, product marketing manager for Pella Windows and Doors. “Rustic door styles with hinge straps and clavos that create a distinctive look are also standouts. And customizing with decorative glass to let in natural light without sacrificing privacy, or adding decorative grilles are also sought-after style options.” Fiberglass is in When it comes to exterior doors, fiberglass is surging in popularity, Brenizer says. “Fiberglass entry doors look like an authentic wood door, without the ongoing maintenance needs of wood,” he adds. “Plus, fiberglass offers exceptional energy efficiency, weather resistance and outstanding durability to resist dents and dings.” New fiberglass Pella entry doors push industry performance standards to new levels. Their dual-seal technology provides two layers of protection to help block out the damaging effects of extreme wind and rain.

Ways to brighten your bathroom (ARA) - Dreaming about a bathroom remodel? With today’s easy-to-install products - many of which are also easyto-clean - your new bathroom can actually exceed your wildest dreams. What could be better than an easy-to-clean new bathroom? Here are some tips to bring your dream bathroom to life in less time and for less money than you might think: No tools toilet replacement: The American Standard No Tools Toilet is so easy to install, it doesn’t even require specialty tools. Everything you need is right in the box, along with simple, illustrated instructions. Whether you’re a do-it-yourselfer, or direct-it-yourselfer, easy-to-install innovations make bathroom remodels speedy and simple, while reducing the possibility of delays from installation errors. Color confidence: The Pantone Color of the Year for 2012 is “Tangerine Tango,” continuing a trend toward brighter, happier colors. Paint is one of the easiest and least costly ways to completely
change a bathroom. Donna Frasca, an interior designer and color specialist who blogs at ColorSpecialist-Charlotte. Blogspot.com, recommends coordinating with colors that are already in the room. “Look at the colors that are in your tile,” Frasca says. “Do you see a lot of yellows? Does your tile look more gray? Sometimes all you have to do is just pick one color that matches your tile to tie in the look of your bathroom.” Not ready to do the Tangerine Tango all over your bathroom? Go neutral on the walls and add pops of color with towels, rugs or a shower curtain to create an attractive, finished look. Easy accessorizing: Faucets are like jewelry for your bathroom, so they should be easy to update as styles and fashions change. Look for the wide variety of faucets that come with a pre-assembled Speed Connect drain that has just four parts instead of 14. No special tools or plumber’s putty
required. The drain seals tightly so water stays in the sink. The lift rod comes preset to the correct height and never comes loose. Fabulous finish: Warmer finishes such as oil-rubbed bronze make an instant style statement, tied together through lighting, cabinet hardware and faucets. A whimsical light switch cover in a complementary finish offers a beautiful and unexpected touch. Go easy on cleaning: Spend more time enjoying your new bathroom and less time cleaning. Real Simple magazine recommends a semigloss paint for bathrooms, because it is resistant to humidity and staining, as well as easy to clean. Toilets with an EverClean surface incorporate a patented antimicrobial agent to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew, while the smooth, mirrorlike finish helps keep surfaces cleaner. EverClean whirlpools feature an exclusive whirlpool circulation system that protects pipes and fittings from mold and mildew, and it never wears off.

A new faucet plays a vital role in a kitchen makeover.
Tips for kitchen makeovers Upgrading the kitchen is on many homeowners’ “to do” list. And for good reason. A minor kitchen remodel ranks fourth on the list of the top 10 home improvement projects that deliver return on investment, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2010-11 Cost vs. Value Report. But whether you’re in it for the investment, or just to freshen up the space in your home where people spend the most time, a new kitchen look could be a fun, impactful improvement to your house. Some may start with a weekend project and a $40 can of paint, while others will jump into a $50,000-plus remodel. Either way, one thing is for sure - you can’t go wrong with a beautiful, highly functional kitchen. A simple refresh If time or budget constraints limit you to changing just a few basic elements of the kitchen, focus on things that make the most impact. Even novice do-it-yourself homeowners can complete
many of these items on their own: • Paint the walls. Painting always tops the to-do list when a mini makeover is in order. It’s an affordable, high-impact way to change the decor of a kitchen. If you’re not changing out cabinets or countertops, be sure to select a color that complements those major elements. • Add new accessories. Switching out the small decor details in a kitchen can make the room feel entirely new. Maybe it’s replacing bar stools at the island, reupholstering pillows or a bench cushion, or even hanging a few new pieces of art or photos on the wall. • Change the faucet. Often underestimated, the kitchen faucet has a lot of influence in the overall style of the room. Choosing a more up-to-date pull-down or pull-out faucet not only improves the look of the room, but can add significant convenience and functionality.

Kitchens Continued from Page 28 “Faucets in the kitchen are much more than what they used to be,” says Kevin McJoynt of Danze, a manufacturer of decorative plumbing faucets and fixtures. “They play an important role in setting the decor and focal points of any kitchen.” A full remodel Homeowners throughout the country are staying in their homes longer than they once did. Because of that, significant remodeling projects tend to rise to the top of the priority list. If you’re in it for the long haul (or even to ensure you get that return on investment), a complete kitchen remodel could be for you. When the entire room footprint is your canvas, the possibilities are exciting. While a contractor is recommended for most of these projects, make sure you’re involved in exploring the options that will help you use this space as wisely as possible (yet provide beautiful decor in the process): • Install display shelves. This hot kitchen trend is an eye-catching alternative to hanging wall cabinets. Taking down cabinets is a pretty simple task for two and hanging the shelves is even easier.
• Evaluate the flow of the workspaces. Adding more water sources to your room could improve efficiency and ease. Consider a simple, yet beautiful faucet on the island for prep, a pot filler by the stove to help while cooking, and a hard-working faucet at the main sink for clean-up. • Mix and match your surfaces. Replacing countertops is one of the most noticeable changes to any kitchen venue. Quartz surfaces are a popular choice, providing a unique combination of quality, hygiene and a look of natural stone. Selecting a lighter color surface for the perimeter and a darker, bolder color for the island is a great way to add another design element to the room. “With today’s growing popularity in cooking and a rise in the number of at-home chefs, kitchen flow and workspace needs are critical aspects to consider when completely remodeling your kitchen,” adds McJoynt. “The sink and faucet choices for each of these areas can play a big role in the functionality and enjoyment of the space.” Manufacturers such as Danze offer a wide range of faucet styles in various functional designs, according to McJoynt. So, whether you’re looking to enhance a traditional decor, add sleekness to a contemporary professional-grade room, or something in between, leveraging faucets and other elements can help set the tone for the entire room.
