HOW TO'S
(ARA) - In today’s homes, the bathroom is becoming a symbol of luxury and relaxation as homeowners equip these spaces with spa-like amenities such as multiple-head showers, whirlpool tubs, plush towels, soaps and candles. But it is hard to maintain that feeling of spa serenity when the bathroom is strewn with all the necessities of day-to-day life and grooming.
Toothbrushes, makeup, toiletries, hair products and other such items have to go somewhere. But if they end up in a jumble on the bathroom countertop, the appearance is not very soothing. Especially in older, smaller bathrooms but also in many newer ones it can be a challenge to find enough conveniently located storage space.
Whether you’re looking for a design statement or are in need of a functional bathroom storage space, a good option is a mirrored cabinet. While once medicine cabinets were basically a hole in the wall with a mirror as a door, today’s products offer ample storage as well as enhance the design elements in the room.
For example, mirrored cabinets by Robern, a leader in stylish bath storage innovation, offer options such as a safety lock-box to provide security for personal items like prescriptions and jewelry; mirrored, lighted interiors, so you don’t have to close the cabinet to see yourself; and an interior electrical outlet where you can recharge and store small electrical devices such as a cell phone or an electric razor.
Because medicine cabinets can be recessed into the wall to achieve a flush, clean look, homeowners are not giving up any valuable space in the bathroom when they add one. And they don’t have to compromise their design sense, either. There are cabinets to complement a wide variety of styles and fit any décor, from traditional to modern.
Robern’s Fairhaven cabinet brings back the styling of the early 20th century. Inspired by the summer communities and seaside cottages in New England, this cabinet combines the benefits and functionality of a luxury cabinet with a traditional, relaxed look. Details like crown and foot moldings, a beaded door with a beveled mirror and round doorknob all add to the vintage appeal.
For those with more modern sensibilities, Robern’s Métallique cabinet reflects the Art Moderne movement of the ‘30s and ‘40s, an era when high style and beauty meant glamorous touches throughout the home. The cabinet has clean, simple lines in polished chrome, brushed nickel or Monaco gold finish. It is part of a collection that includes matching faucets, towel bars and other bathroom accessories of the same finishes.
For the ultimate medicine cabinet, consider Robern’s Cité, which embraces the 1920s decadence and sophistication, highlighted by its leather-wrapped frame. This cabinet adds romance and sophistication to any bathroom, but can also be used in other areas of the home. The cabinet is available in Ebony (black), Ox Blood (burgundy) and Parchment (tan), colors that can blend into just about any décor.
So instead of cluttering your bathroom with baskets of makeup and bins of shaving supplies, you can neatly stash them out of sight, but within easy reach. The clean, stylish surfaces will immediately make the space feel more tranquil and relaxing, so you can pamper yourself in peace.

(ARA) - It’s the little things in life, and sometimes turning your eye to the smallest items in home décor can make the biggest impact. If you are in the mood for a room transformation, but don’t have the time or budget to completely redecorate, try focusing on smaller portions of the room and creating focal points. You can still achieve a dramatic transformation with attention to detail and minimal effort.
The simplest and most cost effective method to create a mood with color, of course, is to repaint the room. But if painting an entire room is out of the question, try highlighting certain areas. According to Peggy Van Allen, color services manager for Dutch Boy Paints, you can still create a new color scheme with smaller areas.
“Walk into the room with fresh eyes, as if you are seeing it for the first time. Really notice the overall effect of the room as you enter, and what your eye is drawn to,” Van Allen says.
Archways, doorways, even the opposite wall can serve as an appropriate canvas. Painting those types of surfaces a contrasting color to the overall room color can create interesting visual patterns. Examine specific architectural features of the room. Are there windows, mantels or other trim details that can be highlighted?
If the room itself does not have a lot of features, you can create focal points. “Take a favorite piece of furniture, a desk or cabinet, and place it against the wall. Then you can paint the wall area around the furniture, visually framing it,” she says.
Using a stencil to create a painted border around a doorway, window or piece of furniture can also create a visual frame. “Stenciling is a way to bring subtle elegance to a room, and you can choose a pattern to work with your upholstery, rugs, or window coverings to bring cohesion to various elements within the room,” Van Allen adds.
For these types of small projects, you won’t need much paint. The new Twist & Pour quart container from Dutch Boy is the perfect size for smaller jobs such as furniture, trim or accent areas. The new Twist & Pour container is lightweight durable plastic, and has a molded handle, making it easy to carry while you work. It has a three-and-a-half-inch diameter opening, allowing you to work directly from the container and eliminating the need for messy paint trays. It is also resealable so you can take a break and return to the project as you have time.
Some other ideas for accenting a room include:
* For a sophisticated look, paint walls in a light neutral color, and paint a mantel, trim and picture frames in either a darker shade of the same color or a contrasting color.
* If you are painting your walls a medium to dark color consider a second color for the trim. White is a classic choice but you could also use a light gray or beige.
* Don’t limit yourself to four walls -- consider the ceiling as an additional area for color, as well. A dark color can create an intimate feeling in a dining room, for example. Or a sky blue will open and lift the ceiling of a bedroom or porch.
*A creative way to highlight and bring together a collage of photos on a wall is to frame them with a single color block painted behind them.
* Personalize a bland room with a favorite quote either painted free-hand or stenciled around the perimeter of the room.
* Artist canvases come in a multitude of sizes and can be painted to create moveable and easily changeable blocks of color for a room. They can all be painted a single color, or you may vary the mix with different shades of the same color. A mixture of colors could even become a work of art in itself and could be a tool for bringing together different colors within a room.
* Don’t be afraid to mix multiple patterns in similar colors to create interest, but make sure you use a bright enough color to make a statement. Choose varying patterns for room elements such as wall borders, accent pillows and upholstery throughout the room.
Once you have decided on the color accents and the techniques you want to use, you need to choose your tools. Picking the right tools for the job initially will save you time in the long run. For sprucing up trim, you’ll need a trim brush. Trim brushes are typically two inches or two-and-a-half inches wide. Look for brushes with well-tapered bristles, avoiding brushes with bristles that are all the same length. Foam applicators may be used for small areas, or fine work such as stenciling, but brushes work best for larger jobs. For any trimwork, you will need to tape off the walls, and protect the work area with dropcloths.
Once you have accented the room with wall color, you can echo that theme through accessories such as throw pillows, pottery, or an area rug. You don’t need to match color exactly; instead, try various shades of the same tone to create a finished look.

(ARA) - If you’re like most Americans, your life revolves around your car. Getting to work , spending a night on the town, traveling for vacations or visiting family and friends (not to mention all those errands) would be impossible without wheels.
We ask so much of our cars, but they don’t ask much of us. There are, however, a few very simple, easy things you can do to extend the life of the cars we rely on for so much.
First, drive safe. Obey traffic laws. Use designated drivers when entertaining. Take your time and slow down. Even a small accident will put your car out-of-service for a week or more.
Second, read your owner’s manual -- in particular the section on regularly scheduled maintenance. There’s no better investment you can make in your car. You’ll see the returns in the form of fewer major repairs (especially if you plan to keep your car beyond two or three years) and longer service life. Ultimately, you’ll save money.
Third, consider using synthetic motor oils. Synthetics offer drivers peace-of-mind every day because they provide the maximum protection for your engine. And even if you have your oil changed for you, it’s easy, since most dealerships, independent repair shops and oil change retailers offer synthetics. You’ll just need to specify a synthetic, such as Castrol Syntec.
“Most drivers want to keep their cars as long as possible,” says Mike DeBiasi, product manager for Castrol Syntec. “Driving safely, performing scheduled maintenance and using synthetic oils that outperform conventional motor oils is a great triple play for engine and car life.”
Recently, Castrol conducted tests under grueling conditions, beyond anything a car might encounter, to demonstrate that Syntec outperforms conventional oils and ensures the best protection for engines in family cars, SUVs and other passenger cars. The engines filled with Castrol Syntec outlasted the engines filled with conventional motor oil. The tests found that Syntec provides a level of protection that outperforms leading conventional oils.
“Given how we all rely on our cars to get us to work, run all those errands and help us visit friends and family,” DeBiasi said, “regular oil changes using synthetic oils may be the most efficient and effective way for drivers to protect the vehicles they rely so heavily upon.”

(ARA) - We all want to protect the beauty and long life of our treasured silver pieces, but there is a lot of confusion about the best way to go about it.
“We get a lot of consumer calls and letters on how to ‘undo’ a damaged piece of silver,” said Alison J. Gutterman, COO of Jelmar, makers of Tarn-X (R) Tarnish Remover and Silver Glaze. “The best advice that we can give consumers is to know what caused tarnish and to give their silver a consistent care program.”
The biggest myth among consumers, says Gutterman, is that tarnish is caused by exposure to air, and therefore silver should be hidden away in cupboards and sideboards until ready to use. “The opposite is true -- the more frequently you use your silver, the less it will tarnish,” says Gutterman.
“Tarnish is actually the result of a chemical reaction between the silver and sulfur,” she explains, “and trace amounts of sulfur occur everywhere, including in the air.” Consumers might be surprised to learn that sulfur is a natural by-product of heating fuels and gas used for cooking -- both of which have their heaviest usage during the winter months. Sulfur is also naturally present in many foods. The familiar dark spots that peas often leave in silver serving dishes, for example, are caused by the sulfur in peas. Although it’s harmless, tarnish gives silver a dark, unpleasant appearance.
Another threat to silver comes from flowers -- silver reacts to the acids and sap from flowers. A silver piece used as a vase for a cut flower arrangement or to hold a plant needs protection.
While silver pieces that are actually in use are less likely to tarnish, Gutterman points out, they are exposed to greater risk of damage in handling. Silver pieces should always be washed individually by hand, and never in the dishwasher because the detergent film may build up. Here is the three-step care program recommended by the Tarn-X experts:
* First Step: Hot, Soap-and-water Wash. The first line of defense with any silver piece, whether sterling or silver plate, is to remove dirt and grime by washing each piece in hot soapy water and drying it thoroughly immediately after each use. Frequent use and washing lessens the ability of tarnish to form. You need hot water and soap to remove dripped wax on a silver menorah, for example, or the dirt, dust and grease that build up on the surface of silver bells hung from the doorway. Don’t be alarmed if you see some tarnish developing on the tines of your silver forks, even though they are frequently washed. The points often tarnish because of their almost-constant contact with food.
* Second Step: Removing Tarnish. This is actually the easy part. Simply apply Tarn-X with a soft cloth, wiping it on the clean piece of silver, and it will remove the tarnish; the mild “chemical” odor is actually from the sulfur coming off the silver. Don’t rub -- rubbing is not necessary, and may be harmful to the silver. If the tarnish is extremely heavy, use a second application. Unlike silver polishes, Tarn-X is faster acting, less messy and less abrasive to silver. This is the key to preserving your silver -- remove the tarnish, but limit the frequency of polishing silver, as all polishes remove some of the silver.
After the tarnish is removed, rinse the piece completely, this time in cold water, and immediately dry it thoroughly to avoid spots. Don’t use hot water for this wash, as it might cause some streaking. For larger pieces, Gutterman suggests applying tarnish remover and rinsing one section of the piece at a time.
* Final Step: Polish with Silver Glaze. This finishing touch will show your silver at its best, and will help minimize the effect of wear spots and other mars. Be wary of products that combine tarnish remover and polish, as excessive rubbing and buffing can damage the silver.
“With this simple three-step process, you can bring your silver up to its finest appearance without a last-minute rush, and get the fullest enjoyment from it all through the year,” says Gutterman.

(ARA) – It’s getting too cold to be chasing your dog around the front yard with a garden hose. Now that most of us are spending more time indoors with our pets, keeping them clean is a priority. But how do you bathe your dog inside in the winter without the messy hassle of juggling cups and buckets, or dreaded trips to the groomer?
“Pet bath time doesn’t have to be unpleasant for you or your dog,” says Patty Mueller of Idea Factory, Inc., a pet bathing products company. “Washing your pet at home can be easy as long as you know how to do it, and have a few key items available.”
How often does a pet need to be bathed? Not every dog is the same. Depending on your dog’s lifestyle and breed, you will probably want to bathe him every month or two. A good guideline is to bathe your pet only when his coat gets dirty or begins to smell ‘doggy.’”
Mueller recommends having these items on hand before you get started: brush, comb or rake; shampoo, conditioner and shampoo mitt; cotton balls and mineral oil; bathing tether, bath mat, drain cover and towels.
Here are a few tips on how to make indoor bath time easier:
* Before you get your dog involved, gather all the things you’ll need and prepare the bath area. You should do this out of your dog’s presence so he doesn’t get anxious ahead of time.
* Place a bath mat at the bottom of the tub so that your pet will not slip and fall. The Rinse Ace Bathing Mat, made of a cushioned material that does not absorb water, and stays in place with suction cups, will make your pet feel comfortable while protecting the tub from scratches.
* Place a screened cover over the drain to catch pet hair before it goes down the drain. Look for one that will fit sink, shower and tub drains.
* Start by brushing or combing the entire coat. Remove all the mats in your dog’s coat. Some areas may need to be trimmed with clippers. If the coat is matted with sticky material, try soaking the area with mineral oil for 24 hours.
* Put a drop of mineral oil in your dog’s eyes to protect them from suds. Some people also put cotton balls in their dog’s ears. Make sure the cotton balls are the right size; if they are too small, they could slip into the ear canal.
* Once your dog is in the tub, attach a bathing tether to his collar. Rinse Ace Bathing Tethers, with two adjustable straps and powerful suction cups, can be attached to opposite surfaces to comfortably hold your pet in place and minimize his movement.
* When using a spray hose, spray low and hold it closely against your pet’s coat so water saturates the coat and skin. To simplify this step, invest in something like the Rinse Ace Pet Shower Deluxe, an 8-foot hose that connects easily to the showerhead, or the Indoor/Outdoor Pet Sprayer, an 8-foot hose that connects to a faucet or spigot. Both have a convenient on/off sprayer with one hand operation to allow better control of the pet. This will eliminate the need for using clumsy cups and buckets.
* When your pet is completely wet, apply shampoo to his back and then work it through his coat for about 10 minutes. Using a shampoo mitt, with massaging nubs, will help create a penetrating rich lather that will deep clean down to the skin. Rinse twice to make sure all the shampoo is gone. Leaving shampoo residue on a dog may cause an allergic reaction.
* Now you may want to back up. Your pet will probably want to shake off the excess water at this point. You can finish the job by gently squeezing out excess water and then drying him with towels. Keep your dog indoors and away from drafts until his coat is completely dry.
Mueller recommends bathing your pet on a regular basis and starting early. “Get your puppy used to a bath and you won’t have any problems when the dog gets older.”
Rinse Ace pet care products are available at such retailers as PetsMart, Petco, and Pet Supplies “Plus.” For more information about Idea Factory pet care products, visit www.ideafactoryinc.com or call (800) 867-4673.

(ARA) - More and more women are discovering the satisfaction of do-it-yourself projects, whether it’s something as simple as hanging a picture, or a bigger job like installing a garbage disposal. While some are inspired by the ever-increasing number of do-it-yourself shows on television, others are driven by necessity -- finding a “handyperson” to tackle home repair jobs can be next to impossible.
Tool manufacturers and hardware retailers have tapped into this growing trend and are providing the tools and training women need. A number of companies offer tools made specifically for women. These tend to be smaller, shaped for a woman’s hand, and lighter for ease of use. A survey conducted by tool manufacturer Ryobi found that 88 percent of women would like a power tool as a gift. Big box retailers are also seeing this trend toward women taking on projects around the house, and many are now offering how-to classes specifically for their female customers.
It stands to reason that if women are buying and using more tools, they need a place to store them. Visit your local hardware store or big box retailer and get a feel for the variety of styles and sizes available; there’s sure to be one to fit your needs. “Women should look for the same qualities in a good toolbox as men would,” says Sue Johnson of Waterloo Industries. The Iowa-based company manufactures a wide range of tool boxes with a variety of features. Johnson says women should look for full-width piano hinges, durable construction, comfort-grip handles and strong latches. If you want to keep the kids (or your husband) out of your tools, you’ll want a toolbox with a lock. “Extras like tote trays and small parts organizers help keep everything neat and easy to find,” she adds.
While steel toolboxes are more traditional and extremely durable, plastic tool boxes are lighter and more colorful, and will not dent or rust. Choose a size that has room for all your tools, but not one that’s too big and heavy to carry around. To help choose the right size (toolboxes range from 16 inches long to 30 inches long), measure the longest tool that needs to fit into the toolbox. In addition, consider how many tools will be stored. Although it is larger than a typical toolbox, a sit/stand/tote with caddy is a very versatile item to consider; not only does it store your tools, but you can use it as a step ladder, eliminating the need to carry one more item around.
If you’re running out of room in your toolbox, a project center can help. Waterloo’s two-drawer project center has bulk storage to hide all the big stuff, as well as drawers for smaller items. No more half-finished projects cluttering up the dining room table or the spare bedroom; with a project center, there is a place for everything. The center fits right in whether it’s used in the house or in the garage.
Toolboxes make great storage solutions for craft items, too. Beaders should look for a toolbox that has lots of small compartments for stashing beads, as well as a larger area for storing other supplies. Scrapbookers will find a toolbox comes in handy to organize markers, stamps, stickers and other tools of the trade.
You’ll find a wide array of tool boxes and other tool storage ideas at hardware and home improvement stores such as Sears, Lowes and other retail outlets. Web sites such as www.waterlooindustries.com are also a good source of information.

(ARA) - Planning on tackling a do-it-yourself project? Professionals will advise you: “don’t cut corners -- do it right the first time.” The proper planning and right materials will ensure a longer lasting project. One home improvement product often overlooked by do-it-yourselfers is construction adhesive.
“Using a construction adhesive reduces the number of overall nails and screws needed to complete a project or repair,” says Glen Kaszubski, research and development director for Liquid Nails. “This application increases durability, longevity and improves overall project appearance.”
For example, using Liquid Nails Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive will prevent common household problems such as squeaky floors, loose trim and molding and poorly secured kitchen and bathroom countertops.
When building major outdoor structures such as a room addition, a gazebo or a deck, this heavy duty adhesive is designed with flexibility. This allows the structure’s foundation to expand and contract in fluctuating weather conditions.
Liquid Nails construction adhesives provide over 20 different formulas, each of which adheres to a specific surface. “Choosing the correct formula will greatly increase the success of a project,” says Kaszubski. “For under $5, you can’t ask for a better project insurance policy.”

(ARA) - Many people are confused about how and when to force bulbs and think it must be much more complicated than it looks. As with any show, the key to creating a beautiful forced-bulb flower display is setting the proper stage. That starts with giving your plants a comfortable setting, refreshments, cool temperatures and low light. When show time arrives, the lights and the temperature come up and your flowers' urge to emerge is irresistible.
There are only two types of bulbs for indoor growing: those you need to pre-chill and those you don't. For fool-proof flower displays of pre-chilled bulbs, growers such as Dutch Gardens make available several pre-potted flower arrangements that come pre-chilled and are ready to bloom in about 3 to 4 weeks once they’re delivered to your door. Here are two easy ways to get beautiful color in your home:
You Are Guaranteed Success with These Bulbs
Two of the simplest bulbs to grow are amaryllis and warmth-loving narcissus varieties such as paperwhites. These are zone 8 to 9 bulbs, which have never known winter; so don't expect a cooling period.
Here’s where you can add your special touch by choosing a glass dish, large saucer or pot to plant these types of bulbs. Just fill with soil; each bulb will come with planting instructions. Or just grow them in a shallow bowl and use pebbles to hold the bulbs in place. They'll usually bloom just four weeks after "planting." To help keep stems short and sturdy, provide indirect light and temperatures of about 50 degrees F for the first two weeks, and then warmer, brighter conditions after that. If you're growing your bulbs in water, it should cover no more than the bottom one-fourth to one-third of the bulb.
Amaryllis are available in many interesting colors and forms: There are bright reds, but you can also have white, lilac or peach, with single or double blossoms. Try the smashing new and striking amaryllis called Charisma. It took years for the Dutch Amaryllis breeders to produce this unique variety that displays a sumptuous color combination of “raspberries and cream.” For a long lasting flowering extravaganza of dazzling amaryllis blooms, try growing three amaryllis in one pot. This grand sight will stop any flower lovers in their tracks!
Paperwhites offer beauty and a strong scent. Buy a couple dozen of these no-chill bulbs and store them in a cool, dry place. Start some every few weeks for blooms right through the winter months.
Want Absolute Fool-proof Color? Try Pre-Chilled Plantings
Bulbs that need pre-chilling require cool temperatures to stimulate a biochemical response inside the bulb, which "turns on" the embryonic flower so it starts developing. Most bulbs need 16 to 18 weeks of cold before the flower is fully formed. At that point they're ready for light and warmth. If you cut the time short, the flowers will emerge, but they will not be fully formed.
To force these bulbs yourself, you need to plan about 16 to 18 weeks ahead of time. Fortunately, Dutch Gardens has already done this work for you. All their bulb plantings are pre-chilled; so all you have to do is add water, place the planted bulb basket in a bright spot, and experience an early spring as it unfolds on your windowsill.
To help chase away the gray days of winter and enjoy the full bounty of spring, try the Deluxe Mixed Dutch Garden. With this planting, you will be treated to the beautiful colors and delicate fragrances of spring with pink, white and cheery yellow daffodils; sunny yellow, strawberry and cream colored tulips; regal purple hyacinths, with their heady fragrance; and the earliest harbingers of spring, striped crocus.
If you want to give the ultimate gift to a plant-loving friend (or to yourself), consider three or six months of blooming Flower Bulb Baskets. They make spring last even longer with an array of bright, fragrant bulbs in bloom in your home from December through May.
Why make a choice between amaryllis and spring bulbs? Combine the pleasures of both with red amaryllis and pristine white tulips and fragrant hyacinths in Dutch Gardens’ Red and White Gift Basket.

(ARA) - It seams that as we spend more and more time in our homes we are always looking to make our quality of life better. We are constantly seeking new ideas that embody both form and function. It is no surprise that people remodeling and upgrading their homes look to the bathroom to add luxury. The bathroom is quickly becoming one of the most lived in rooms in your house. After all, everyone wants to have that warm feeling when they are spending time in their living space. With the right changes you can create a spa like feeling with products such as heated tile, impressive baths with multiple showerheads, and towel radiators. Here are some tips for warming up your bathroom -- literally.
Start with a wall full of showerheads, to provide a pampering, steam-filled, hot shower. These days you can find all of the luxuries that you could possibly want, from multiple massage settings to the water coverage area; you can specify everything right down to the size of the water drops. These products can be found at any of the major bath fixture companies or your local kitchen and bath showroom. They start at under $100 and can be an inexpensive way to make a big splash in your new spa-like space.
Second, beautiful tile floors can give you that instant spa feel, but no one likes to step onto cold tile when getting out of a warm shower. Heated tiles systems can change the entire feel of your floor and your room. They come in two systems, electric and hot water. Your kitchen and bath professionals can help you decide what would work best for your space. If you’re doing even the smallest renovations, a system like this can make a large impact in your comfort level.
Lastly, there is a new product reaching the American market that has been a staple in Europe for years. Towel radiators differ from towel warmers in that they actually heat up the bathroom, as well as offering the added luxury of warming and drying your towels. If you are short on heat in your bathroom, this is an easy way to take it up a notch. The best part is they fit anywhere that you would put up your normal towel bar. “If you have to have heat in your bathroom it might as well be pleasing to the eye and give you the added benefit of a warm towel,” says Kate Bosley of Zehnder, a towel radiator company.
These unique products even come with programmable controls that give you the ultimate in flexibility, convenience and efficiency. You can set the radiator to turn on before you get up in the morning and shut itself off so you don’t waste energy. Wake to a warm bath and towel with no worries, because it only costs pennies a day. On top of that there is the count down timer. “Say it’s been a stressful day and all you want is a long soak in the tub. Well, you hit the timer function before your bath and by the time you get out you have a wonderfully warm towel to wrap up in. After 1 ½ hours the unit shuts itself off and returns back to its original program,” says Bosley.
Homeowners can easily install a towel radiator themselves. They can be hung on the wall with four screws and the proper wall anchors. After that, they just plug right in to your standard bathroom outlet. Check with your local professionals or the manufacturer about the appropriate installations on the new showerheads and radiant under floor heating systems. It is always best to do your homework and purchase top quality products that will last a lifetime.
As winter sets in the trend is for people to start to retreat to their homes and these days the house is not just a place to live, it is our sanctuary. Just imagine a long hot shower, stepping out onto a heated tile floor into a room that is cozy and warm, and grabbing that fluffy towel. Could you ask for more?
For more information on Zehnder’s towel radiators please call (888) 778-6701 or see them online at www.zehnderamerica.com.
