By Lisa Laberge Lisa Laberge Interiors

The painter you hired, clad in overalls and looking like the walking embodiment of a Jackson Pollock painting, comes towards you dangling a dry paintbrush in one hand. “What color do you want, lady?” “Any suggestions?” you ask. “I don’t pick ‘em, I just paint ‘em,” he says testily. Okay, what do you do?

This is for all of you out there who, when faced with this decision default to that old standby, Benjamin Moore’s Navajo White, a bland but safe off-white color. You know who you are. As it turns out, this is not actually the safe choice anymore. Thanks to all of the fun and fastpaced HGTV shows, homeowners are realizing that color on the walls can transform a room like no other decorating element. I call it a bit of magic in a can. Here is one method that is a simple and foolproof way to choose wall color. I have used it many times when decorating my clients’ homes. I want you to select something that will be your “inspiration”, perhaps a patterned fabric, oriental carpet, oil painting or even a torn out page of a particularly pleasing room from a home shelter magazine. From this “inspiration” I want you to select paint chips that match colors from the object you selected. Invariably, you will have a neutral color for walls in an open area, a rich color for the dining room, a contrasting color for another room, and so on. Essentially, what you are taking advantage of by doing this is that some artist somewhere designed that fabric or carpet, belaboring the color choices to create a thing of beauty. Half of the work is already done for you. With this exercise you have created a color story for your home and a reference point to come back to time and again. It’s simple and a great way to select pleasing colors for your home. I know you are going to have fun doing this, so give it a try!

Economical Ways to Have a Green and Gorgeous Garden By Steve Burzon

On the bright side there can be a positive note to a financial meltdown like the one we are having right now as there is nothing like hardship to make one re-examine old habits. So now is the time to rethink the short and long term economics of garden/landscape design, installation, and maintenance. Let’s look at a few ideas that can reduce costs and increase sustainability without any reduction in the beauty or pleasure quotient of a landscape or garden. First, when it comes to your choice of ornamentals for plantings go for hardiness, low maintenance, and the ability of your landscape

in creative ways? We live in a place where there are artisans who make an amazing number of beautiful things for the outside of your home. Instead of purchasing from glossy upscale catalogues; buy your outdoor furniture, fire pits, or arbors from a local crafter. There is nothing more striking or beautiful than the rocks and stones that surround us and the savings inherent in using these materials creatively in your garden are huge. Mulches, composts, and garden soils do not have to be purchased in bags that originate in Maine, Georgia, and overseas. Buy your soil amendments in bulk from local sources and save. Find out more at www.gardenartsstore.com/soil or at www.gardenartsstore.com/art. Save even more by always looking to the use of local lumber for your garden sheds, fencing, or for any outdoor need. Consider the great, rugged look of homegrown, rough sawn hemlock -- either green or continued on page 11

to inspire you all year long. When you are staying closer to home as a means to lower expenses, make sure that your garden looks great day and night, summer and winter, and in the seasons between. To get started increase your use of dwarf, miniature, and slow growing hardy conifers for your plant selection. If you are unfamiliar with the term ‘conifers’ (plants that reproduce with cones) you should get to know more about them. While most are known as evergreens, many are not green at all. They are yellow and blue with some even turning russet or orange in winter. You can choose from an enormous variety of these miracle plants to add color, texture, shape, and architectural elements that stay around in every season. There are hundreds of easy to obtain varieties at all kinds of prices; and once established that first season, they require almost no maintenance or supplemental watering. Contrast this with garden or landscape plants that are water and maintenance hungry, and that virtually disappear in the cold weather. You can get more information about the use of conifers by researching the Conifer Society’s site at www.conifersociety.org; or by researching the Garden Arts Landscaping Store’s site at www.gardenartsstore. com/allseason. Next, rethink the products you use for gardening or landscaping purposes. Where do these items come from? How much of their cost is attributed to expensive transportation? Is your money working smartly or are you enriching someone in a far off place when you substitute imported materials for your garden rather than finding something local? Can you achieve a great look by using inexpensive local materials A Hersam Acorn Newspapers Publication

Building Industry Takes ‘Green’ Mainstream By J.C. Carroll

(MS) -- The environment indoors and outdoors may indeed be winning. In 2008, the ‘green’ residential building market in North America was estimated to be 6 to 10 percent of the conventional construction market, an 8 percent increase in one year. Even in a down economy, by 2012 these numbers are expected to double to reach 12 to 20 percent market share, all of which represents an industry worth $40-$70 billion. “Americans want high performance, sustainable components in their newly built homes,” says Todd Blyth at Nudura, the manufacturer of award-winning, concrete wall forms. “Green construction pays off immediately with reduced energy and maintenance costs -- and it delivers a sound return-oninvestment as the equity compounds.” Nudura, a concrete system for walls that replaces wood, has recently won no less than four of the coveted, ICF Builder Awards, most notably for the multi-story, West Village student dorm in Ontario, Canada. Better still, the entire West Village is a LEED platinum rated project. LEED represents Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design,

an organization that encourages and accelerates global adoption of green building and development practices. By a third-party certification program, it has set an international benchmark for the construction and operation of high performance sustainable buildings, and the ‘platinum’ designation is top-of-the-line. West Village builders, for example, opted for the Nudura concrete wall system instead of traditional building methods. Concrete walls for buildings and homes are far stronger, more efficient, and healthier -- and do not deplete natural resources. “Envision your walls being constructed with Lego-like blocks of reinforced concrete sandwiched between two layers of polystyrene,” Blyth explained. “This system cuts down construction time significantly, creates less waste material, and it virtually eliminates mould, mildew, and other toxic emissions that are associated with wood. With just this one green component, the homeowner saves money due to durability and energy efficiency -- and the entire structure is reported to be up to nine times stronger, with far more fire protection, far more sound insulation, and with a potential to reduce energy costs of up to 70 percent.

Going Green Around the Kitchen When it comes to going green, nearly all facets of life have some room for improvement. Because everything we do has an effect on the environment, the notion of going green is truly all-encompassing. One place that’s easy to go green is the kitchen. Though not intentional, many kitchens are monuments to waste. But with a few easy adjustments, the average kitchen can quickly become a testament to environmentally friendly living. * Banish excess paper products. Thanks to their convenience, paper plates, cups and towels populate kitchens across the country. Many more kitchens are home to other throwaway products as well, such as plastic utensils and napkins. While no one can question the convenience of such products, they are very harmful to the environment.

help save the environment. What’s more, since these products are all reusable, you’ll save money as well. * Purchase fresh vegetables. Taste is the primary reason many veggie fans prefer fresh vegetables over their frozen counterparts. However, another distinct advantage fresh vegetables possess over frozen veggies is their friendly attitude toward the environment. Frozen vegetables typically come heavily and excessively packaged. This negative environmental impact can be eradicated by simply purchasing the fresh vegetables available in the produce aisle as opposed to those sharing space with the frozen pizzas and waffles a few aisles away. Lettuce can also be wasteful depending on how it’s purchased. Fresh heads of lettuce in the produce aisle are far more environmentally friendly than bagged lettuce mixes. * Be more conscious of snacking habits. When it comes to snacks, most people are solely concerned with health. However, the environment’s health should be considered when snacking as well. Rather than filling the refrigerator with individually packaged yogurts, for example, those who eat yogurt on a regular basis should instead purchase yogurt in quantity, choosing the larger containers to create less waste. These larger containers are often less expensive than purchasing individually packed yogurts as well. * Buy a water filter. Replacing plastic water bottles with a water filter is one of the easiest, most effective and money-saving ways to make a positive impact on the environment. Estimates have suggested that Americans alone are responsible for purchasing more than 7 billion galcontinued on page 6

Purchasing fresh veggies, as opposed to excessively packaged frozen vegetables, is a great way to go green in the kitchen. Instead of these throwaway products, purchase reusable products. Cloth napkins and towels, for instance, can do the same job as paper napkins and towels, but do it in a way that’s not harmful to the environment. Rather than paper plates, purchase a less expensive yet reusable set of plates to use when snacking or eating less formal meals. This will save you the trouble of using the fine china every night, and it will also A Hersam Acorn Newspapers Publication

Efﬁciency Tops Homeowner List By J.C. Carroll

(MS) -- Americans continue to ask for high performance, sustainable components in their newly built homes. Within the next three years, builders are predicting demand for green components will double. This represents 12 to 20 percent market share, and an industry worth $40 to $70 billion. Concrete walls, for example, are replacing the old wood frame method with countless benefits. All across North America, the award winning Nudura system is now delivering double the insulation as compared to buildings made with wood. “Insulation is vital, but it’s just the beginning,” explains company spokes-

person, Todd Blyth. “This wall building system, which uses pre-assembled blocks of reinforced concrete, makes the project much quicker to construct, with less waste, and with none of the toxic emissions associated with new buildings. It’s an internationally certified ‘green’ method (www.nudura.com) and is now the base for constructing better homes, schools, hospitals, condominiums, hotels, and offices all over North America. “Money is saved with durability and energy efficiency,” continued Blyth, “and the resulting structure is reported to be up to nine times stronger, with far more fire protection, far more sound insulation, and with a potential to reduce energy costs of up to 70 percent.”

lons of bottled water each year. The waste produced by those purchases eventually exceeds 20 billion plastic water bottles. All of this excess waste can be removed if consumers simply purchase a water filter. The water is as clear as that in plastic bottles, and it’s also much less expensive and far more environmentally friendly. * Take up gardening. Gardening can be beneficial in a number of ways, be it helping to reduce stress or providing a great reason to go outdoors and soak up some sun. It can even help save the planet. Growing your own food helps reduce waste, as many gardeners won’t grow more than they can eat, or they’ll share it with neighbors. Also, gardening is a hobby that has a positive impact on the environment, and those quick drives to the grocery store won’t be necessary if a fully producing garden awaits just outside your kitchen window.

Saving Water Starts in the Bathroom (MS) -- Did you know that the average American uses 80 to 100 gallons of water per day? This sobering statistic from the United States Geological Survey highlights the need for conservation, especially in an era when many parts of the country face routine seasonal drought conditions. Where should homeowners start to reduce their water usage? The bathroom. Over the course of a day, toilets consume the largest amount of water in the home, according to government research. In fact, the most wasteful consume significantly more than showering or bathing. With an average of 6.8 flushes per toilet per day, water usage quickly adds up. Toilets from the 1940s and 50s use five to seven gallons per flush. This improved by the 1980s, when toilets were required to use 3.5 gallons per flush. But any toilet built before 1992 and the 1.6 gallons per flush standard is inefficient and should be replaced with newer, water saving models.

and save money. Bathroom products manufacturers have tackled toilets head on with the development of extremely low flow toilet solutions. How low can they go? Through Lowe’s, bathroom products manufacturer Jacuzzi offers its Espree model, with a water-sipping performance rating of 1.28 gallons per flush. The toilet meets certification criteria and is listed with the Environmental Protection Agency’s rigorous WaterSense program. But how well do these toilets work? Water efficiency doesn’t necessarily mean reduced performance, says Mike Roberts of Jacuzzi. “Our Propulsion Advanced Flushing Technology has the power to effectively eliminate waste with just one flush,” says Roberts. The Espree also saves 20 percent more water than modern 1.6 gallons per flush water-saving toilets. Upgrading a toilet is good for the environment and good for the pocketbook. In addition to environmental benefits, homeowners can save an average of $60 per year simply by switching from a 5 gallons per flush toilet to a 1.28 gallons per flush toilet.

Economical Ways to Have a Green and Gorgeous Garden continued from page 3 of outdoor lighting in winter warms your spirit every time you look outside. A knockout landscape does not have to be costly. It can save you money. Plant deciduous trees on the southerly side of your home to provide shade in summer without blocking the heat of the sun in winter. Plant large evergreens on the northerly side to block the winter winds that rob your home of the heat that you pay for with costly fuel. Smart design, the right kinds of plants, the use of local materials, and some good old-time truths save money without any compromises on beauty. Go ahead, enjoy springtime and spend wisely, too!

dried. We like to use this inexpensive and durable material for our structures but we are always careful to marry them with a rot resistant wood like cedar (or even a pressure treated pine) where there is to be contact with the ground. In the air and properly built, a hemlock building or fence will last and look great for decades. As a bonus, a local carpenter or fence builder will have work as a result of your wise decision. As for insuring that your garden or landscape pays back in pleasure for your investment make sure you add at least a minimum of cost effective low-voltage lighting to the scene. Unlike old-fashioned 110v outdoor lighting fixtures and systems, the new 12v installations give off just the right amount of light without much of an impact on your electric bill. Don’t worry about the snow covering the lights in winter. They are not only weather proof, but the bulbs inside give off just enough heat to melt a small column of snow cover. At night that column gives off a lovely glow. We think that the right amount

Build with Concrete, Not Wood resource. Strength: Concrete walls are shown to be up to nine times stronger, withstanding wind up to 250 m.p.h. and a debris impact up to 115 m.p.h. Wood walls are subject to moisture, dry rot, and deterioration. With a solid, concrete core, your walls last for a lifetime. Safety: In addition to long-term durability, and wind resistance, concrete walls report 4-hour fire protection. A traditional stick-frame home is rated to withstand fire for only 45-minutes. Living Quality: Manufactured wood products usually contain adhesives, producing toxic fumes, especially during the first few years. Wood walls are also prone to moisture retention, promoting mold growth with airborne respiratory irritants. The concrete, Nudura wall system (nudura.com) is quick to assemble for builders, brings beauty to the design, emits no fumes, retains no water, and unlike wood, this solid concrete core is soundproof, keeping unwanted noise outside.

(MS) -- Walls made of concrete in residential and commercial buildings will deliver long-lasting benefits for the homeowner or resident, all of which are far superior to traditional building methods. Take a look at this in-field comparison on homes of a similar size, courtesy of Nudura and its internationally certified ‘green’ wall system: Energy Efficiency: Wood structures are prone to thermal bridging where the outside cold penetrates too easily, causing drafts and cold spots. Solid core, concrete walls keep home temperatures consistent requiring less energy for heat, cool, and climate control. Energy savings with concrete walls are reported to be from up to 50 to 70 percent.

How to Make Your Home Green By J.C. Carroll

(MS) -- If you have plans to build a new house soon, this is the time to start things off right. An environmentally thoughtful, high-performance home is one that incorporates a green combination of technology, construction, design and maintenance elements -- all of which will provide a healthier indoor life for its residents, and will significantly lower its impact on the planet’s environment. Indeed, a wellplanned green home costs less to operate immediately and its value increases steadily over time. A green home is constructed with concrete, not wood, has energy-efficient lighting, heating, cooling and water-heating systems -- and if you’re wondering what else makes a home truly green, here’s a handy checklist as you begin: * The Site: Build where you can beautify or replace unsightly properties like a factory, a parking lot, rail yard or shopping mall. Don’t build on environmentally sensitive sites like wetlands, forests or farmland. * Location: Build with walking or cycling in mind, near public transportation, schools, and shops. * Materials: Start with concrete. An award-winning system by Nudura builds the walls with pre-assembled, Lego-like blocks of concrete. This cuts construction time significantly, creates less waste material, and virtually eliminates mold, mildew and other toxic emissions produced by buildings structured with wood. Homeowners save money with durability and energy efficiency -- and the resulting structure (www.nudura. com) is reported to be up to nine times stronger, with far more fire protection, far more sound insulation, and with a potential to reduce energy costs of up to 70 percent. Other green materials should include low- and zero-VOC (volatile organic compound) paints and sealants. Any wood-based features should come from rapidly renewable sources, like bamboo. The best green homes use salvaged materials like kitchen tiles with significant recycled content. Ask for a roof that is light-colored and heat-reflecting. * Design: Think about the site’s natural attributes and shape your new home accordingly. Reduce lighting and energy requirements, for example, by taking advantage of natural breezes and daylight, perhaps with A Hersam Acorn Newspapers Publication

skylights or with larger windows on certain walls. Aim for natural daylight to reach at least 75 percent of the home’s interior. Outside, design your landscape with lots of large canopy trees and flowering plants to attract the reproduction activity of birds and bees. * Windows and Doors: Dual-glaze windows reduce heat gain in summer and heat loss during cold winter months. The best quality is government rated. * Renewable Energy: Ask for the latest technology to generate some of your own household energy. * Water Efficiency: Design with a water-conserving irrigation system. Collect and store rainwater. Add the latest in kitchen and bathroom water-efficient fixtures.

Green Choices: Do your bit for the planet every day By J.C. Carroll

(MS) -- Green is a cool concept in construction. All over North America, both residential and commercial builders are winning recognition and applause for taking their environmental responsibilities so seriously. For example, concrete is replacing traditional wood framing with a system spearheaded by award winning, Nudura. This wall building system of pre-assembled, Lego-like blocks, cuts down construction time significantly, creates less waste material, and it virtually eliminates mold, mildew and other toxic emissions produced by buildings structured with wood. Homeowners save money due to durability and energy efficiency -- and the resulting structure is reported to be up to nine times stronger, with far more fire protection, far more sound insulation, and with a potential to reduce energy costs of up to 70 percent. See www.nudura.com. “But while owning a low-impact, high performance home with superior walls is good, it will only be as green as the energy efficient products you put inside,” says company spokesman, Todd Blyth. “Upgrading for quality is always popular, but it’s during the initial building stage that you should consider products that can’t easily be changed.” Here’s a handy checklist of options on this topic, courtesy of Nudura:

* Radiant Floor Heating: This is a method of heating your home by applying heat underneath or within the floor. Comparable to warming yourself in the sun, it warms objects as opposed to raising the temperature of the air. The warmest air is at the floor where it is desired (not at the ceiling) and there is reduced heat loss through the ceiling and walls. * High Efficiency Furnace: Heating uses a significant amount of a home’s energy, from 40% to 60% depending on the system. Options to reduce heating costs and increase comfort include a high-efficiency furnace (or a hybrid furnace, which combines space and water heating) plus in-floor radiant heating and “heating zone” controls. No matter which system is chosen, the controls such as programmable thermostats with multiple set-back modes and other features, can help to maximize your heating dollars. * Energy efficient windows: Generally, double-glazed windows are standard in today’s new homes. But homebuyers have a wide range of options for energy improvements. Common upgrades include: low-E coating on the glass; inert gas fill between glass layers; insulating spacers to keep the glass layers apart, all of which are designed to reduce the transfer of heat from the warmest to the coldest parts of the window. This also reduces window condensation and makes homes more comfortable. Other options include additional glass layers and improved frame design.

According to the National Garden Association (NGA), Americans are beginning to spend more on their lawns and gardens. In their 2007 National Gardening Survey, NGA found that retail sales of lawn and garden products to consumers increased by 3 percent to more than $35 billion. That’s a positive sign for the lawn and garden industry, marking the first time since 2002 that overall retail lawn and garden sales had increased. While many homeowners recognize the value of a lawn’s aesthetic appeal, the survey also showed that many more homeowners could be looking to lawn and garden activities as hobbies, as 31 percent of all households admitted growing indoor houseplants while another 30 percent of households admitted to planting flower gardens. Overall, the average household spent $428 on do-it-yourself lawn and garden activities in 2007 -- a 7 percent increase from the previous year.

Wood Staining 101: Easy Reﬁnishing Projects (MS) -- Few things add style and elegance to a room like the rich look of wood furniture. But, has the wood furniture in your home lost its luster? What about the flea market find that doesn’t quite match the other wood pieces in your home? It’s easy to give wood surfaces a new, long-lasting finish with stain and a protective finish. Just follow these simple steps from the wood finishing experts at Rust-Oleum: * Tip # 1: Preparation is the key to a beautiful staining project. Start your project by sanding. Sanding allows stain to adhere and penetrate the wood, providing a better looking, more even appearance. Then clean the wood surface thoroughly and wipe away any sanding residue with a damp sponge. Before applying stain to the entire project, test it out on an inconspicuous area of the project. For example, if you are staining a chair, turn it over and stain the bottom of the seat to test the color. * Tip #2: Bring out wood’s natural beauty with a colored stain. Stains add a luxurious, warm finish that’ll enhance its appearance and add classic style to any room. Try deeper stains like Cabernet and Dark Walnut for a rich, traditional feel. Or, use lighter colors like Golden Pecan or Golden Oak for a more natural look. Think stains are messy and hard to apply? Not anymore! Varathane Foam Stain -- Rust-Oleum’s latest Varathane brand innovation -- eliminates the drips and dribbles of traditional stain. Unlike liquid stains, this foaming stain formula takes the mess out of stain application, and gives you ultimate control. Just foam on the stain, and rub it in with a lint-free rag -- it’s that easy! * Tip #3: The best way to make your stain look better and last longer is by protecting your project from spills, stains, scratches, and normal wear-and-tear with a clear finish. Try using a polyurethane like Varathane Diamond Polyurethane. The water-based polyurethane goes on clear and stays crystal clear -- unlike most oil-based finishes, it won’t change the appearance of the stain. Plus, it’s low odor and great for interior use! The durable topcoat is a great way to enhance the beauty of your wood staining project, and keep it looking great for years to come. For more information on Varathane products visit www.rustoleum. com. Need ideas and tips for your wood finishing projects? Visit www. woodanswers.com.

Did You Know? A pneumatic nail gun is a faster way to do jobs that require a lot of nailing. The gun requires a fraction of the time as a traditional manual hammer and nails. Pneumatic nail guns come in two main types: cordless nailers and nailers powered by an air compressor. The air compressor models are less expensive, but work is limited by the length of your air hose. The cordless nailers are powered by a fuel cell and battery, so they are much more portable but generally cost more. Nails for these guns come in magazine-style packets of various lengths.
