• Moist areas on the wall, usually means termites are feeding inside the wall.

• If you see weakening in the walls or structural damage to the wall, you probably have termites.

Home security is a growing field and lots of companies have entered into it with a wide variety of products being offered to consumers. And there is something available for almost every budget too. So how do you choose what security system to buy, and where should you buy it?

Well obviously, one of the largest factors that needs to be considered is how much money your budget will allow you to spend on a new home security system. There is no need to be looking at high end security systems if you can’t afford them anyway. Another important factor to consider is not just the security system itself, but also the installation. Are you a good do-it-yourselfer? Are you familiar with home wiring and doing home improvement work? If so, you may choose to install the alarm system yourself and can save a lot of money by doing so. In fact, the money you save on installation costs can allow you to upgrade the security system itself. In this case, there are some great security systems available online for a lot less than you would pay otherwise and can even further reduce the purchase cost.

If you feel that you are like most of us though and cannot do the installation yourself, then you most likely will want to talk with a home security specialist from one of the major companies in that field. It’s a good idea to do a little advance research beforehand though. Home security alarm systems are becoming increasingly more common, so why not ask your friends, family, co-workers and others you know if they have had any good or bad experiences with a particular security company? If you ask enough people in your area, you will usually start to get a good feel for both companies that have treated their customers well, and those that don’t.

Many companies will send a field representative to your home to inspect it firsthand and make specific recommendations on the type of security system that they feel will suit you best. The thing to keep in mind in these situations is your predetermined budget. Don’t allow anyone to talk you into a more expensive security system than you can really afford just because it has more features. Remember that even the most basic security system is better than none at all.

It’s best to stay with companies that are authorized representatives of a major home security company, as they tend to need to protect their reputation in the community and have a more long term vision for their business which includes treating customers well. Avoid independent contractors that don’t already come with extremely good recommendations from people that you can trust.

Just a few of these simple guidelines can help insure that you choose a home security system that works well for you and does not cost more than it should.

Using native plants in landscaping in an urban setting exudes a certain character and at the same time requires fewer resources; such as water, etc… Here are some things that you should know when planning to embark on this endeavor.

Why use native plants?

Using native plants for landscaping is a way of celebrating natural heritage and a way of returning back to a land ethic established 50 years before by Aldo Leopold. Looking closely at native plants, it can be ascertained that these plants have many traits that make them very appealing in terms of aesthetic value, ecological value, and practicality. They can also present some health benefits when used properly.

Native Plants

So what are native plants? Native plants are plants that have evolved naturally in the United States. In particular, native plants in a certain area are those that were thriving in the particular area long before humans brought plants from faraway places. Both in Central and Eastern North America, the native plants grow in areas that have other species which have adapted to similar weather, moisture, and soil conditions. Some of the more prevalent types include tallgrass prairies, beech and maple forests, freshwater marshes, bogs, and savannahs among others.

Native plants are energy savers

Since native plants have been present in their respective areas for thousands of years, they have adapted and toughened against local conditions. They are resilient and can withstand the cruel winter cold or the sizzling summer heat. After getting a firm hold on the land, these types of plants will need no fertilizers or irrigation and are less prone to pests. Because of these reasons, native plants are very ideal for a low-maintenance type of landscaping and gardening.

Native plants are fascinating

Due to their diversity, native plants include wonderful flowers and interesting foliage. Trees and shrubs native to an area present a multitude of shapes, textures, and sizes to the landscape. Besides this, native plants have very interesting cultural as well as historical dimensions. A lot of the species are considered to be of value both as food and medicine. Some types have been used for textiles, dyeing, and cordage to name a few of their uses… It also serves as a reminder, a link to yesterday and its memories.

These are some of the reasons why native plants are used for landscaping. If you think that these are well grounded reasons and that you concur with it, then there is no reason why you should not delve into native plant landscaping.

Professional decorators offer many great suggestions when determining how to arrange art on the walls of your home or office. Spacing, proportion and placement are just a few of the tricks of the trade.

For example, if you have an even number of art pieces (2, 4, 6, etc.) and you want them to work together as an arrangement, place them pretty close together. Odd number groupings (like three verticals) look nice together if they’re spaced evenly apart.

For symmetrical groupings, create a grouping that’s symmetrical if the frames, subject or style are similar. This will help create balance. Create an asymmetrical grouping if the frames, subject or style are different.

Many people group art in terms of collections- fine art photos go in one place, botanical prints in another location; other collectibles like kitsch velvet paintings or religious artwork go separately.

All these approaches work. Just try to find a balance in each group. And don’t be afraid to mix things up and create an eclectic arrangement. You can tie them together by a background wall color.

If you have a lot of art in your home, try to make sure that there’s a wall or small area in the room that’s fairly art-free so there is some visual breathing space. Too much art can start looking like clutter if there’s no system to the way it’s arranged. Your eye will have nowhere to go.

Keep the artwork in proportion to the furniture. A tiny picture over an oversized credenza can make the art look lost. An oversized artwork over a small loveseat can overpower the seating. But rules are meant to be broken. If you’ve got a good eye, play around with things a little. You might create a wonderful unexpected relationship between the furnishings and the art that will surprise and delight everyone.

Another interesting way to display your art is with an art shelf. You can lean the art on the shelves or hang a few pieces and have the others lean against a wall. Fine art photography is particularly beautiful when presented this way. You can also mix vases, sculpture and other objects with the art for a nice visual arrangement. The great advantage of displaying art this way is that you can change the order when it pleases you without messing up the walls.

The multi-utilitarian heat gun is an extremely popular tool used in crafts, construction, the automotive industry and much more. To work the heat gun efficiently and safely, the instructions must be read thoroughly. Heat guns eject hot air which may even reach 1300° F; hence it is crucial to understand how to operate the heat gun so that precaution may be taken against the risk of serious burns.

Heat guns are generally held in one hand while the other hand can be used to complete the task that is being undertaken. A mandatory safety measure is to wear gloves that provide protection from accidental burns. The gloves used should be able to resist burns and guard the hands from the hot air that blasts from the nozzle as it can easily be misdirected.

Heat guns are often used to soften matter so that it can be molded into any shape desired or stuck to another object. During the heating process usually a lot of dangerous fumes are emitted so a well ventilated work area is essential. When painting or using adhesives most people forget the hazards of toxic fumes produced by these materials when they get hot. Hence a well ventilated room is desirable.

If the heat gun is used recklessly it may cause the handler severe burns. The heat gun may look like a hair dryer but is definitely not one, so it should never be directed at hair, skin or clothing for any cause. The heat gun must be handled with intense care and constant attention must be given to where the hot air is being directed otherwise it could lead to fatal accidents.

If one uses the heat gun responsibly then this tool can provide an immense number of benefits from its various uses. While using the heat gun you must be alert and agile because you do not want to end up with burns neither would you like your object to be burnt.

Does the coming winter chill remind you how much you miss the basic element of fire to warm those long nights? Unfortunately, your home’s builder wasn’t the romantic you are, and you have no fireplace. Never fear, The Budget Decorator is here! Ok, so that’s corny, but this project sure isn’t!

The first thing to do is to determine what element you want your fireplace to be made of. A lot of this depends on the formality of your room, and the style of fireplace you choose to make. Paint, tiles, faux bricks, wood molding and plywood, scrap beadboard, it goes on as far as your creativity.

Next, you’ll need to determine how much labor you want to put into the construction. The options range from a flat front “tromp loeil” style fireplace, to a wooden construction of an actual fireplace box and mantle.

Suggestions to get you started:

Faux stone fireplace

Mask off the entire area of the fireplace, and paint it a background color-this will be your grout color. Mask off an area that will be the firebox, paint it a matte black color. Take an ordinary household sponge and tear it into several different size irregular pieces, simulating pieces of rock or stone. In a paper plate, pour three earth tone colors of craft paint. Dab the sponge into the paint colors, dont worry about them mixing some, dab off the extra paint so it doesn’t run, then “stamp”stones onto the fireplace background. Continue to alternate sponge sizes, leaving some space between stones for a natural masonry look. Alternatively, if you have access to many smaller stones, how about glueing the stones right to the painted background! Add a mantle;a simple pine shelf will do.Be sure to accessorize the mantle with personal photos, and most importantly, candles! Candles give the impression of fire, and the mantle and firebox complete the illusion. This would be a great choice for an informal rustic space.

Faux tile fireplace

Seen those cool contemporary ceramic or stone tiled fireplaces? Easy to do. Same concept as above, except slightly more formal. You could either mask off the tiles with ¼ inch masking tape,and paint them, or if you can get some castoff tiles, you can glue on the real thing. I did mine with leftover faux marble self stick tiles from a floor project, and plain white ceramic tiles are pretty cheap.Hint: If you use self stick tiles, reinforce the adhesive with a glue gun! A flooring store might even have some discontinued tiles they would let you have for free.
Looseends.com sells paper mache stones and brick, although I don’t find them particularly cheap, they are excellent quality, and might be worth it. Or, you could try your hand at making your own. Finish off the fireplace edge and firebox with some cheap wood molding, even lathing strip, and add a mantle!

Classic Faux Fireplace

For the labor loving decorator, you could even construct an actual wood box, the most realistic of the choices! Since I don’t pretend to be even a weekend woodworker, try the plans on discovery daytime (www.discovery.com) from The Christopher Lowell Show.

So, now, I know what I’m doing for the cold nights this coming winter!

What’s the big deal about a new technology called iCoil and why should you care?

Before we get to that question, consider what you’re up against as a mattress shopper.
If you’ve been bed shopping, lately, you are surely aware of the myriad of different mattress materials that are being used.

Years ago, even before all these choices, I remember being confused, myself, with trying to wrap my mind around everything I was being told by the salespeople in different stores I would visit.
Today, the job is even more daunting with air, water, latex, gel, memory foam, iCoil and springs of all kinds making up the market, it’s really confusing for you, the consumer.

In spite of the vast array of mattress available, it’s a well known fact that a whopping 75%-80% of Americans still prefer sleeping on spring mattresses.
With this in mind, you might want to spend a couple of minutes with me, learning the difference in springs and what that means to you.
Bonnell springs are the most common kind of springs that mattresses are made with, so let’s take a look at them.

The bonnell spring mattresses are made by securing all the springs together as a unit and then surrounding them with a stiff wire, to make a perimeter around the mattress.

By tying all the springs together, what you get is, essentially, one great big spring.
Not only does this design transfer motion from one person to another, it makes for a very unyielding material.
If you end up bending a portion of that perimeter wire, your mattress will be permanently bent there.

I had a friend who tied his mattress to the roof of his car, while moving, and the wind lifted the front half of the mattress up and bent it. It was really weird looking when he laid it down, because it stuck up 3″ off the boxed spring on one end.

There’s brand new technology called iCoil that I’ve been looking into.

These iCoils are so precision-made that they can be compressed, rolled and placed into a take home box.
This is a real mattress, in a box, that gently returns to it’s original size and shape once you open the package.
Other types of mattress springs were tested using the same criteria and they all failed.
The exact results were different, but failure of some type was the common thread.

The pocket springs never returned to anywhere near their original size and shape. The bonnell springs performed worst of all.
In fact, remember my friend with the bent springs? Well, the bonnell spring mattress that was rolled up, did the same thing. It remained rolled permanently after being unpacked.
It looked like a giant roll of chicken wire.

I think this new technology holds some promise. Time will tell.

Chuck Harmon is a mattress expert that writes for a variety of online and offline publications. Do you want to see what he’s talking about? Check out a cool video showing a 30 ton steam roller vs. iCoil. You can see it at sleeprevolution.com sleeprevolution.com

In the last five years many Americans have bought new homes and in fact this has been one of the biggest housing booms in U.S. history. More people have bought new homes then in any other time in our nation. What many people may not realize is that by today’s standards homes are much more energy-efficient and that makes them perfect candidates for solar power.

New homes with new materials hold in the heat better and in the cooler air too during the summer. This means there’s less draw on energy from the power grid and it also means that if you can put solar panels on top of the roof and they will be required to generate less electricity to do the same amount of work.

Ten years ago it cost up to $80,000 to install solar panels, but with new materials now the prices have come way down and now the average home can put in solar panels for about $40,000. Also the batteries, which collect the energy that the solar panels produce also have improved and last twice as long.

So what we have here is solar panels that are twice as efficient, batteries which last twice as long and the solar systems only cost half of what they did a decade ago. From a return on investment standpoint it now makes sense to solar power your home. If you own a new energy-efficient home then your house is ripe for solar power. Won’t you consider this in 2006?

If you appreciate the beauty of illuminated colored glass then a Tiffany lamp is what you’re looking for. The vibrant colors of the stained glass glowing in a darkened room are mesmerizing to the eyes of the beholder. The light bursting from Tiffany stained glass lamp shades is so intense, you find yourself questioning how such a tiny light bulb can cause such intensity of light! Tiffany lamps create a dramatic effect to any room.

Tiffany lamp shades are constructed from hand cut, polished and shaped pieces of stained art glass. Copper foil is wrapped around each piece of glass, glued together then soldered with lead. You may observe some lines, seeds or bubbles in the glass… these aren’t defects, but natural beauty of the glass.

There are so many modern stained glass lamps around but nothing can beat the finesse of Tiffany lamps, which are in a league of their own. It’s quite relieving to know one can buy Tiffany reproduction lamps in almost every original style and color. Tiffany style lamps have set up their own niche in the world of glass-making. You can find Tiffany reproduction lamps in almost any type of room, from restaurants to prestigious buildings — such as the white house — from homes to offices and other professional meeting rooms. When it comes to creating that special look, that only Tiffany lamps bring to a room, there’s no compromise to the choice of lamp… as only Tiffany lamps can give you that je ne sais quoi.

There’s A Tiffany Reproduction Lamp Out There For You!
Original Tiffany lamps can go for millions of dollars but you can recreate original Tiffany looks and colors with the reproductions at a much cheaper price. These lamps are timeless beautiful works of art that add beauty and warmth to any décor. They can light up any environment — changing the whole atmosphere of a room — by adding nothing more than just a Tiffany lamp!

The original concepts that Louis Comfort Tiffany developed over 100 years ago to make his Tiffany lamps are still used today in making Tiffany reproductions. But rest assured the quality and workmanship of good Tiffany reproduction lamps are equal to that of original Tiffany lamps! Beauty and variety are the two main attractions when choosing Tiffany style lighting, and no two Tiffany lamps are identical, for example you can buy two Tiffany peacock feather lamps of identical style and dimensions, but they will not be identical. Because the high quality glass used in Tiffany lamps have their own unique characteristics that makes each lamp of the same style and theme different.

Tiffany lamps come in all shapes and sizes, and their range in price means there’s a Tiffany lamp for everyone. You can get classic Tiffany lamps for a few hundred dollars or Tiffany museum reproductions for a few thousand dollars.

With today’s eclectic decorating styles, a Tiffany reproduction lamp can be a great focal point in any room. You can add a touch of the classic Victorian or art-deco design by bringing one into your home or office.

Quality Tiffany Reproduction Lamps
The beauty and elegance of an original Tiffany lamp is visible in a quality reproduction Tiffany lamp. They’re made from the finest quality glass. Just as a jeweler can identify a high quality gem by its clarity and brilliance… a connoisseur of fine lamps can recognize the high quality glass by its sparkling beauty.

Tiffany lamps are made using a handcrafted process, this adds another reason why no to lamps are exactly same — each piece is created artistically, giving careful consideration to glass choice, construction, and fine detail. Did you know that back in the days of Tiffany Studios, Louis C. Tiffany had all the women creating/designing the floral and natural lamps, while the men were responsible for the geometric lamps? This was because Louis understood woman had a better eye for nature and floral themes, they took to it like ducks to water. And men — who scientists say perform better at spatial awareness task — had a greater knack for geometric designs. Maybe that’s why his lamps turned out so amazing… because he used the best minds for his lamp themes… nothing was forced… just naturally flowing from the minds of Tiffany lamp creators.

Tiffany Lamp Designs
The designs of Tiffany reproduction lamps are the same as the original designs from Tiffany Studios, as well as new designs that are often similar to original designs. Original Tiffany lamp designs are of natural themes such as plants and insects as well as geometric patterns.

If you want a classic Tiffany lamp then you can’t go wrong with the dragonfly design because this offers you a classic Tiffany touch. It was, and still is, a popular Tiffany lamp design.
The geometric pattern designs are based on simple patterns such as rectangles, squares, ovals and triangles.

Rest assured, Tiffany lamp reproductions are not fakes or copies, but well — made quality reproductions, handcrafted with the finest materials.

Quality Tiffany Reproduction Lamps
Good quality Tiffany reproductions have stained glass shades that use the traditional copper foil method technique — developed over 100 years ago by Louise C. Tiffany — and offer a variety of fine colors. The lamp bases are crafted from superior materials and are built to last a lifetime and provide joy for many generations. These Tiffany lamp reproductions are unique and can be a timeless keepsake for your children, their children, and their children to come.

How To Choose The Right Size Lamp Shade?
Lamp shades have moved on from being mere lighting accessories… Tiffany lamp shades are exquisite pieces of decorative art. By choosing the right lamp for your room — that compliments with the atmosphere — you can bring out the perfect radiance and sophistication in your room.

When you’re buying just a Tiffany lamp shade, because you already have a base, it’s important to measure your lamp base accurately to determine the size and shape of shade you need.

• When choosing a lamp shade, remember that the vertical measurement of a well proportioned lamp shade should not exceed its diameter.

• If the lamp is being placed on a table at eye level, consider having the lamp shade cover the bottom of the socket.

• The width of the lamp shade should extend past the widest part of the lamp base.

• The height of the shade should be roughly 3/4 the height of the base.

If you’re looking for just a base, wooden bases that are polished smooth or carved can be classic and timeless.

Tiffany lamps… an owners pride!
A Tiffany reproduction lamp is an artist’s pride, but this pride is transferred to anyone who owns a Tiffany lamp. You too can be a proud owner of a Tiffany lamp… all you need is a little time to see select the design and shape that relates to you and your home. You also need not worry if any element of your reproduction is damaged — as some manufactures replace the damaged part without any hassle.

Tiffany lamps are unique piece of art and these designs can never grow old. They are timeless treasure which can be passed on from generation to generation with pride and honor. So why do I think Tiffany lamps stand the test of time? Because the man who created them loved beautiful things, and he understood the beauty of nature… as nature will always stand the test of time!
