Bring Sunlight To Any Room (NAPS)—Tubular skylights are a sleek new way to easily transfer the beauty of natural sunlight into your home. These innovative light sources can brighten spaces that lack natural sunlight, beautifully illuminating closets, hallways, bathrooms and laundry rooms.

The natural light transferred through tubular skylights can reduce eyestrain and may even act as a mood elevator. What’s more, they may help with energy costs because they may reduce the number of fixtures needed in a room. Maximizing daylight means you could go the whole day without turning on a light.

How It Works A tubular skylight system captures and sends natural light down through highly reflective tubing. The diffuser, which is ceiling mounted, then spreads the light evenly through the room.

Now, the ODL ENERGY STAR–qualified Tubular Skylight system includes a Solar Powered Dimmer, which allows you to control the amount of natural light by simply installing it into a new or existing 10-inch ODL Tubular Skylight. A three-button remote control operates the dimmer’s shade from inside the house. At the touch of a button, you can regulate the amount of natural light, making this a particularly good choice for a media room, nursery, bedroom or any place where light restrictions are sometimes desired. In addition, the dimmer is the first of its kind that requires no hard wiring. Instead, it uses solar energy, which makes it easier and less expensive to install.

As a bonus, the design integrates two LED lights, giving you the option for a soft glow into an otherwise dark room or hallway during the hours of darkness—handy for families with small children who wake up in the middle of the night.

The ODL Tubular Skylight and Solar Powered Dimmer are available separately or as a package at major home retailers.

Smoke Alarms Save Lives (NAPS)—Roughly two-thirds of house fire deaths could be avoided, it’s estimated, if all homes had working smoke alarms.

Properly installed and maintained, residential smoke alarms are one of the best and least expensive ways to provide an early warning when a fire begins.

If you follow these simple tips, you can ensure that your home is adequately protected by working smoke alarms.

Smoke Alarm Tips • Smoke alarms should be in­stalled in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home.

• Combination smoke alarms that include both ionization and photoelectric alarms offer the most comprehensive protection. An ionization alarm is more responsive to flames, while a photoelectric alarm is more responsive to a smoldering fire.

• For the best protection, smoke alarms should be interconnected, so they all sound if any one of them sounds.

• Purchase smoke alarms from a reputable retailer you trust.

• Choose alarms that bear the label of a nationally recognized testing laboratory.

• Install smoke alarms at least 10 feet from cooking appliances to reduce the possibility of nuisance alarms.

• If possible, alarms should be mounted in the center of a ceiling. If mounted on a wall, they should be six to 12 inches below the ceiling.

• Avoid locating alarms near bathrooms, heating appliances, windows or ceiling fans.

• Never paint over a smoke alarm.

• Smoke alarms should be tested once a month by pressing the TEST button.

• Replace the smoke alarm batteries at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps” or “beeps” to indicate low batteries, they should be replaced immediately.

• Replace the smoke alarms every 10 years.

Open The Door To Color (NAPS)—Your front door is talking about you. Its appearance speaks to your personality, decorators say.

Too often, the front door of our home tends to be drab shades of beige, brown, white and gray, while the fun, vibrant colors are used to make interior and exterior walls and siding stand out.

When you consider that all visitors pass through the front door, a dull and dreary door could give the wrong impression. Your front door could be an opportunity to make a bold statement about yourself with a vibrant blue, a knockout red or a daring yellow-green.

“Selecting big, bold color for the front door and adding accent pillows and cushions for outdoor furniture or wall art on the outside is becoming much more popular,” said PPG color expert Dee Schlotter. “Homeowners should use traditional, long-lasting colors for home exteriors and save the statement-making hues for accent pieces like doors and porch furniture.”

A different shade for shutters can also provide a colorful contrast. Contrary to some beliefs, front doors and shutters don’t always have to match. In fact, using different colors on the two features calls more attention and can add appeal to your home.

The outside of your house can in fact define who you are and how you live on the inside.

Exterior paint jobs are about more than just the color, though. Selecting the proper products for various exterior surfaces can make the difference between a wellexecuted paint job that will withstand the natural elements and one that will require significant upkeep to stay eyecatching and impressive. Proper planning and priming before adding that new, brighter color can ensure longevity for a lively, vivacious home exterior.

To spice up the exterior of your home and welcome friends and family in a whole new way, try these tips: • Choosing a color palette that works together is important. Mix, match and experiment before committing to your new statement-making exterior color.

• Don’t forget the porch ceiling. Selecting a color other than white can play off features such as ceiling fans or even the brightness of the sky.

• What would your door look like if it was painted red— try it on PPG Pittsburgh Paints’ Paint Your Own Room Visualizer—now available on the tablet. Snap a picture of your door and then apply any color you like so that you can see how it can change the personality of your whole home.

• Learn more through PPG Pittsburgh Paints’ The Voice of Color program. PPG Pittsburgh Paints analyzes upcoming color trends and incorporates the hues into color palettes.

What Do Floors Hold In Store?

(NAPS)—It may not be what most people think about when they consider technological innovations, but science has turned its attention toward the floor and come up with some pretty clever ideas.

For example, some floors are made of new materials designed to look old and others are of old materials given a new purpose. There are floors that really look like wood or tile or stone but aren’t—thanks to advances in digital photography.

You can even have a floor that purifies the air in your home.

Designers have been busy, too, experimenting with textures and unusual motifs. Here are a few of the more popular and intriguing: • Hardwoods: One new hardwood floor cleans the air.

Revo­lu­tionary technological advancements bring new surface treat­ments to wood flooring that use sun and artificial lighting sources to break down harmful emissions and VOCs. It also rids the air of odors. As for colors, classic staples such as dark mahogany- and cherry-stained floors are seen and so are muted grays, vanilla and whites. Weathered and worn looks continue to gain ground. An “antiqued” finish increases the durability of the wood and allows it to withstand the high traffic and heavy wear of large families and pets. Manufacturers are also offering eco-friendly options such as bamboo and products with ex­tended warranties and enhanced life spans.

• Carpets And Rugs: These days they’re all about definition and texture, from leopard print shag to braided fibers. Growing demand has led to supersoft and easy-toclean wall-to-wall carpet. Luxuriously soft man-made fibers are so stable that they can be cleaned with bleach and water and come with lifetime stain warranties.

Then there’s the trend toward projected fragmented digital imaging from computer screens directly on area rug designs.

Rugs with pixelated designs look like they jumped right off a desktop. Contrasting with this are handcrafted rugs in tribal and traditional Ikat designs in muted grays and pastels. In

response to a yen for classic aged looks, manufacturers present “new” rugs with foot-worn weathering and patterns that appear to have been faded by time and wear. A bright idea in recycling is glorious shimmering antique silk repurposed from Indian saris.

• Tile Trends: Engineered stone commonly found on countertops has made its way to the floor. A composite of reconstituted natural crushed stone bound by a polymer resin or cement mortar, it offers nearly the same perfor­ mance as sandstone, marble and limestone. Engineered stone is nonporous, so indoors or out it resists corrosion from water, materials and air pollution. The engineered variety is more uniform and more stable than natural stone and more affordable.

Porcelain, thanks to recent digital imaging advancements, can reinterpret stone, hardwood, leather, even linen. Rich coloring, veining, stratification and surface texture lend a realistic look without the high maintenance and price tag.

Now you can get punk-styled graphics and graffiti on porcelain. The eye-popping “tagged” looks appear as paintsplattered planks and tiles. Other “urban” looks for tiles resemble rusting iron or chiseled concrete.

• Laminate Looks: Photo-real hardwood, stone and porcelain are found in laminates. Advancements in noise reduction have helped to level the playing field between laminates and hardwood and vinyl. Cork and other soundabsorbing materials reduce echoes commonly associated with this type of floor.

• Vinyl Surfaces: Luxury vinyl tile (LVT) is extremely re­ sistant to dents, scratches and stains; it’s easy to install and even easier to maintain. Through computer-assisted design and surface treatments, LVT can have the look of nearly every other flooring surface. Drop-lock, floating designs allow for easy, glueless and affordable installation.

Beat The Bite Of The Menacing Mosquito

(NAPS)—When mosquito season is here, Americans need to be vigilant about protecting themselves and their families. Not only are mosquitoes a terrible nuisance, they can carry West Nile virus, so it’s essential to do all you can to keep the bloodthirsty biters away.

This has proven to be a challenge for many.

Nearly 40 percent of U.S. adults don’t use mosquito repellent because they don’t like to put chemicals on their skin, according to a new survey conducted online by Harris Interactive.

And 80 percent say that they prefer using natural products for themselves and their families, when available.

Fortunately, it’s now possible to “beat the bite” of the menacing mosquito—gnats and midges, too—with two all-natural, area repellents: the portable Terminix AllClear TableTop Mosquito Repeller and the personal, clipable Terminix AllClear SideKick Mosquito Repeller. Both employ a fan-based diffusion technology to circulate a botanical scent of lemongrass, cinnamon, peppermint and geranium oils that’s safe, when used as directed, to protect people outdoors without needing to spray anything on the skin. This all-natural repellent safely and effectively repels up to 95 percent of mosquitoes, and has been proven equal to chemical area repellents.

A Branch of First Neodesha Bank These additional tips from the experts at Universal Pest Solutions www.fnb-ks.com will also help to keep mosquitoes away: •Regularly empty water Additional location inside Wal-Mart from birdbaths, toys, buckets and ceramic pots. * Quick Approval •Clean out other potential breeding areas such as rain gutters and * Your Loan Will Not Be Sold catch basins.

•Cut and clear away tall * Personalized Customer Service grass and weeds.

•Add larvicides such * Minimal Closing Costs as mosquito dunks (or BTIs) to standing bodies of water. * No Appraisal Fees For more information, visit www.allclearmister. * Competitive Rates See Travis Warstler or Melissa Morris com.

Give Your Home Jazz-Age Glamour And Sophistication (NAPS)—The opulence of Art Deco and period-inspired home furnishings are trending more than ever.

Whether it’s the influence of popular TV shows and movies, such as “The Great Gatsby,” or just a longing for the elegant and beautiful, the newest look in many American homes is one that hearkens back to the 1920s.

Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann’s take on the classic novel includes an unparalleled enthusiasm for capturing the striking period style and visual decadence of the Roaring ’20s. From Art Deco to European Deco to Hollywood Regency, the film evokes a sense of luxury in every scene.

“We’re seeing a resurgence of interest in the Art Deco trend and period styling,” says Jackie Hirschhaut, vice president of the American Home Furnishings Alliance. “Movies like ‘The Great Gatsby’ highlight the beauty of these timeless styles and create demand for unique looks. Manufacturers have responded with a variety of options in case goods, upholstery, accessories and accents—which means moviegoers can bring a little bit of ‘Gatsby’ flair to their own homes.”

The Art Deco style is characterized by bold, geometric and linear shapes with nods to industrialism. It’s a look whose forms are at once

streamlined and architectural, yet heavily influenced by glamorous fashion, sensuous lines and rich materials.

Fortunately, you don’t need a Hamptons mansion or a bootlegger’s budget to indulge this desire.

Luhrmann’s lavish set designs were based on the great early-20th-century houses of Long Island’s North Shore. Even though Art Deco design was the epitome of luxury, it can be seen at retail today in a range of home furnishings offered at all price points.

That means it can be easy to give yourself the green light when it comes to bringing the authentic feel of the film and the era into your home. Start small with just one piece or go all-in with a room completely inspired by the look.
