Your Fire
Adding Style
to Your Fire
he hearth has long been the
focal point of family gatherings
and indoor entertaining. What
better place to relax after a long
day at work and make warm
memori es wi t h f ri ends and
family? Now is the perfect time to make
your fireplace the center of family tradi-
tions by investing in a striking, hand-
carved mantel and surroundan ideal
way to enhance your interior dcor and
increase the value of your home.
Hand-carved fireplace mantels and
surrounds transform your living space
wi t h i nt ri cat e det ai l and st unni ng
stonework. With so many cookie-cutter
designs flooding the home market today,
custom design and the ageless beauty of
t
stone is being sought more than ever. The dura-
bility and craftsmanship that makes your home
uniquely yours is taking precedence over former
trends of stark minimalism. Finding expert
carvers is no simple undertaking, as trading
schools, even in Europe, are disappearing, mak-
ing their work in great demand all over the
world.
Some of the few that still practice this art
have devel oped a revol ut i onary f orm of
compressed stone, resulting in reconstituted
stone, preferable to real limestone because its
harder consistency makes it better suited to
the details, shadows, and sharp edges that
distinguish the traditional Tudor and Gothic
styles they often recreate. One of the great
qualities of well-carved stone is that it conveys a
sense of drama and mystery. Once its been
distressed, the look of composite stone so closely
resembles natural stone that designers and
architects can rarely tell the difference.
This exceptional materialpaired with
expertise of master craftsmencan turn any
vision of classic beauty into reality. Elaborate
decorations include fireplaces, urns, balustrades,
columns, window frames, and more.

e al l have di f f erent
decorat i ng personal i t ies.
Some people change their
furnishings frequently and equate home
dcor t o f ashi on t rends. Ot hers buy t he
highest quality traditional furniture, keep it
forever, and plan to pass it down to their
children. And then there are those of us in
between who arent sure when we should
replace that sofa thats just not quite right for
the space.
There is much to consider when planning
your decorating and furniture purchases. If
youre feeling a bit lost about home decor
decisions, here are some tips to help get you
started.
1. Determine the real use of each room.
Which rooms need to be highly functional,
and which can be decorative or for special
occasions? What is your familys lifestyle?
How much wear and tear will each room get
from kids, pets, or frequent entertaining?
2. Take stock of your current furniture. Do
you have family heirlooms, antiques, or very
high-quality furnishings? If so, you may
be keeping these pieces a long time, and
you have the option of reupholstering or
refinishing them to freshen their appearance
and function.
If youre living with furniture that youre
not fond of, doesnt quite fit the space, or is
past its prime and not worth repairing, start
planning for buying some new pieces or
whole sets. You can always sell your old pieces
or donate them to a charitable organization.
3. Give some serious thought to your own
personal st yl e. Look al l around you f or
inspiration and narrow down your favorite
colors and interior motifs. Magazines, books,
online sources, home shows, stores, and
professional decorators can all give you
insight into the types of dcor that best suit
your style and make you feel at home.
Start a photo collection of styles that you
love pictures of entire rooms, particular
pieces of furniture or fabrics, or even travel
photos of a Morrocan palace, an Italian villa,
or an English cottage. All these images will be
usef ul f or i nspi rat i on whet her you are
redecorating yourself or hiring a designer.
Ask yourself these questions: Do you love
formal settings or comfy/casual? What kind
Whats Your
Decorating
Personality?
of mood do you want to create in your room...
calm and relaxing, or dynamic and energetic?
Do you love color palettes with warm tones or
cool tones? Do you lean toward traditional or
contemporary? Which styles will complement
your homes architectural character? All these
clues will help you pinpoint the unique decor
that best suits your personality.
4. Identify and work around a focal point
in each room. This can be a fireplace, a
conversational seating arrangement, a piece
of art, a window with a view, or many other
features.
5. Keep in mind natural traffic patterns
through and between rooms and arrange your
furniture accordingly for ease of movement
6. A common decorating challenge is to
define spaces in open floorplans. You can
achieve this with furniture arrangement, area
rugs, folding screens, a wall of tall house-
plants (consider bamboo), or sometimes even
a fountain or sculpture.
7. Choose your pai nt col ors LAST! Take
samples of your fabrics, wood tones, and
flooring if possible when choosing paint
chips, and then bring the chips home to view
them in the room at different times during
the day.
There are many other considerations for
putting together your dcor, whether in one
room or an entire house. If you decide to hire
a desi gner, make sure t o check t hei r
references, look through their portfolio,
establish a clear budget and time-frame, and
pull out that photo collection of the looks you
love.

Liquid Stone is the fast and affordable
way to repair and beautify your pool deck,
patio, walkways, driveways, and more. This
resurfacing material is made from acrylic
and pol ymer resi ns mi xed wi t h crushed
limestone. This unique combination brings
forth a brand new producta liquid coating
that can be permanently applied over your
existing and tiresome concrete, giving it a
fresh new look.
When applied over the exiting surface,
Liquid Stone actually soaks in, filling cracks
and imperfections, bonding with the old
concrete to form a new layer. Once the surface
solidifies, a team of craftsmen hand carves
various patterns to reflect the most natural
stone finishes including flagstone, slate,
garden stone, travertine, and cobblestone. The
new surface is then hand stained according to
your choice of finish and exterior dcor.
Introduce the look of an Italian villa,
Tuscan cottage, or Roman courtyard to your
pat i o, pool , or garden area. You can
incorporate virtually any design or theme you
desire with this highly customizable limestone
product. While the texture adds character and
depth, these coatings add only 1/4 to 1/2 inch
thickness to the existing surface.
Liquid Stone has endless applications,
is highly durable and versatile, and is the
perfect way to bring the look of scarred
natural stone to your outdoor landscape.
This technique and material is applied to
columns, walls, windows, and archways as
well as pool decks, patios, and driveways.

Stone can be custom-designed to enhance

inding reputable and responsible land-
scape and exterior contractors can be
stressful and time-consuming for any
homeowner. When you get bids from different
companies on your own, you have to deal with
each contractor telling you that you need to use
different materials or a different design to com-
plete the project, and each company ends up
bidding on completely separate projects. By uti-
lizing a specialized referral service, you can
bypass the headaches while weeding out the
unreliable contractors and those that dont spe-
cialize in your particular project.
When using a referral service, your landscape
consultant works with you and your budget to
come up with a design and list of materials for
your project to use as a base for obtaining bids
from three to four full-service contractors who
specialize in your type of project and with whom
theyve worked and have a detailed knowledge of
for years. This way, each company bids on the
exact same project, giving you accurate esti-
mates for building costs and timelines. Multiple
bids from these contractors are presented in an
easy to read, side-by-side comparison, allowing
you to choose which one you prefer to meet with
pressure-free. And because contractors are will-
ing to pay a referral fee for obtaining a client so
easily, this service is 100% free to homeowners!
In just a few quick meetings, you can save your-
self a lot of time and energy by letting an experi-
enced referral service do all the grunt work.

hen intense heat and glare keep you from enjoying
your outdoor space, you start to feel trapped inside
your air conditioned home. Dont let the sun drive
you indoors and make you miss out on
outdoor activities with family and
f ri ends. You can t ake back your
outdoor space with European-style
retractable awnings made in the
U.S.A.
These attractive awnings are
available for patios, windows, lattice
covers, sunrooms, and other
applications. They can help increase
your comfort and enjoyment of your
home and yard.
Patios, picture windows, sunrooms, and other areas of your home
tend to gather heat and glare, making these areas difficult to enjoy,
especially in the hot summer months. Retractable awnings are easy to
use and can be opened or closed as needed, allowing you to control
temperature and light to increase comfort.
Installing retractable awnings can also help improve the energy
efficiency of your home. You can reduce air conditioning costs and
fading of furnishings in the summer with an awning that blocks
undesirable heat and ultraviolet light. During the cold winter months,
having the ability to retract your awnings allows the warmth of
the sun to enter the home and keeps heating
costs down.
Awnings come in a wide variety of shapes
and sizes, and can be made for many differ-
ent applications. You can opt for a motorized
awning or a manual crank, and hardware is
offered in anodized aluminum, white, beige,
or dark bronze finishes. Designer fabrics for
the awnings can be acrylic or high-tech
see-through mesh fabric available in hun-
dreds of colors and patterns to best suit your
home and personal style.
As with any type of movable equipment, durability and trouble-free
performance are important. Retractable awnings should be made from
top quality aluminum castings and extrusions, and be offered with an
excellent warranty.
Retractable patio awnings are available in projections of 53 to 13
and widths of 66 to 40 and beyond. The retractable window awning is
available in projections of 16 to 4 and widths of 3 to 15. Retractable,
roll-up, vertical systems and skylight/pergola awnings designed to mount
on top of lattice structures or sunrooms are also available.

OUR LONG CALIFORNIA SUMMERS, THE
BACKYARD BECOMES A USEFUL EXTEN-

PLACE TO ENTERTAIN GUESTS. Therefore,
patio furniture gets a lot of useand with use
comes wear. If you have already invested in
high-quality furniture such as Brown Jordan,
Tropi t one, OW Lee, Woodard, or
Homecrest, refinishing is an excellent
alternative to buying new. Many homeowners
who are redecorating their exterior living
space choose to refinish their furniture with
different colored fabrics, saving 50% of the
cost of buying new. A professional patio repair
specialist can easily restore furniture in any
stage of life to like-new quality in a few
easy steps.
The process of patio furniture restoration
is virtually identical to the original manufac-
turing. The worn-out frame of your existing
patio furniture is sandblasted down to bare

dirt, and rust. The frame is then inspected for
cracks and broken welds, and all necessary
repairs are made. After the frame is deemed
flawless, a powder-coated frame finish is
applied to the clean metal.
Powder coating is a spectacular process in
which powder particules are electrostatically
charged, applied to the metal frame, and then
baked in an oven at 400 degrees. The result is
excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and
better UV stability. After the frame of your
patio furniture is looking sparkling new,
brand new vinyl strapping is installed. If your
furniture requires fabric slings, measurements
are t aken and new sl i ngs are sewn
and installed.

magine your very own treehouse ready to be
enjoyed by your entire family. This unique
clubhouse is authentic to the core... the log a
real, old fallen tree. And the charming house
that jauntily crowns it is made from old,
recycled barn wood. Armed with the
acceptable password, simply enter the door in the
hollow log, climb up the ladder in its center, and
pull yourself through the trap door in the
clubhouse floor.
Just as no two trees are exactly alike, each
house is a unique creation. The recycled barn
wood varies as well, with colors that range from
old barn-red to a natural, weathered look. The
standard reaches about 14 tall, with logs about
5 in diameter and 6 tall.
Standard options include a front porch,
firemans escape pole, flip down loft bed, rope
swing extending from the side of the log, a roof
dormer on one or both sides, and a slide coming
out of the back of the clubhouse. Nothing is more
exciting than the challenge of a custom order,
though!
The tree house can be shipped anywhere

onsumers are seeking treatments
t hat wi l l enhance t hei r nat ural
appearance without the recovery time required
by major surgery and without the expense. With
more in-office treatments available than ever
before, consumers are able to work with skincare
professionals to create a set of treatments to
target their specific skin problems.
Treatments may include peels to treat acne,
which will make the skin appear smoother and
clearer. Lasers can be used at a deeper level to
resurface the skin, reduce fine lines and
wrinkles, as well as remove hair and spider veins.
The SmartXide DOT

Therapy laser targets sun

damage, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and
brown spots with a single treatment. This therapy
uses fractional CO
2
technology, which results in
minimal downtime (35 days). In addition,
Thermage

can tighten and rejuvenate the skin

with results that last more than two years. Body
by Thermage lifts sagging stomach, underarm,
and leg skin without painful surgery. Eyelid
Thermage is now available along with Thermage
deep sculpting and cellulite reduction to reduce
the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks!
A customized rejuvenation skincare plan may
include Botox

to relax lines, plumping deep
lines and lips with Restylane

or Perlane

,
skin resurfacing with DOT Therapy and skin
tightening with Thermage.
The better you look, no matter what age, the
better you feel. If you are looking for a natural,
rejuvenated appearance without surgery, look
no further!
