Is the Tired and Worn Appearance of Your Deck Keeping You Inside?
Enhance the beauty and value of your home by rejuvenating your outdoor deck using the same four steps the professionals use.
Repair: Replace any deck boards, rails and spindles that show signs of rot or are beginning to split.
Refresh: The second step is the
cleaning process where a cleaner/stripper is applied with a sprayer. To
avoid wood damage, only low-pressure water is used to rinse the cleaner
off. Brightener is then applied to stop the cleaning process and raise
the wood’s pH level.
Restore: The next step is to
apply the stain and sealer. We recommend only Ready-SealŪ
professional-grade stain and sealing products for consistent quality
and excellent results.
Rejuvenate: After allowing 48 hours for the stain and sealer to dry, your deck looks like new once again and is ready for entertaining!

Caring for Indoor Plants
By Gail Kavanagh
 When
you've no room for a garden, but you love natural beauty like flowers
and plants, houseplants are the solution. Keeping plants healthy and
fresh indoors need not be a tricky business. It's a matter of position,
moisture and pest control.
Position: Place your
houseplant in a favorable spot. Some plants require a lot more light
than others. If your plant looks lifeless and the leaves lose color and
shine, it needs a sunnier spot. But a plant that starts to look
shriveled with yellowing leaves probably needs more shade.
Talk to your plant supplier about the best conditions for your

Courtesy of NewsUSA
 When
it comes to home decorating, lighting proves just as important as paint
color. Quality lighting allows you to perform tasks without eyestrain

illumination, and task lighting, which helps you perform tasks like
reading or cooking without eyestrain. Many homeowners also use accent
lighting to spotlight paintings, shelves or other areas of visual
interest. Using all three types of light will help homes look more
attractive.
