ON THE COVER: It’s hard to believe but the backyard featured on our cover used to be very dated, plain and was fenced in with railroad ties. (See photo at bottom left.) Thanks to Outside Landscape Group, this retired Woodstock couple now enjoys a gorgeous ‘backyard resort’ which features new natural stone decking, waterfalls and streams, lush landscaping, a pool house with a �replace, outdoor kitchen and TV and a brand new cabana!

Get out. Now! editor’sletter
You’ve really let yourself go, haven’t you? I’m not talking about your clothes or hair. (In fact, you look
pretty fabulous today.) I’m
talking about your home.
Speci�cally, the outside of
your home.
Too many homeowners
procrastinate or just plain give
up when it comes to their outdoor space. They save their
time and money for their interior rooms and hope that
“one day” they can afford an inviting space to entertain,
play or simply eat outside.
I understand why this is often the last place we think
to invest in and spruce up. Installing a pool or porch or
outdoor kitchen can seem so intimidating, not to mention
pricey. As long as you keep the lawn mowed and the
weeds whacked, that’s all you can manage for now. Right?
Wrong. Not even! The spectrum of what is possible outside
is so much wider. There are now so many things you can
do to take advantage of the fact that we live in a nice,
warm climate. There’s just so much that any family, on
any budget, can do to make their outdoor space a true
extension of their home. And I don’t need to tell you the
value of spending time outside with your family, away
from TV and computer screens, do I ?
First, you have to �gure out what you want. (What you
really, really want, to quote the Spice Girls.) Don’t blindly
follow trends or chase down a particular patio you saw
in a magazine once. Start with what you and your family
actually need and want in an outdoor space, from zen garden
to energetic play area! We’ll help you �gure it out on
page 24.
Then, once you have decided what you want, consider your
budget. The three price levels we chose for our “3 Budgets,
9 Landscapes” were simply the most common investment
price points we found. See what’s possible and get inspired,
starting on page 75. We even give you a few super-DIY,
uber-affordable tips on how to add some life to your
outdoor space on page 82. So don’t give up. Get out!
If you need me, I’ll be in the hammock…

Dear Image Doors,
The real testimony for your company is that you always responded to me, which I respect. Even if it’s not good news, it’s honorable to respond. However, so many people in the construction business today do not stand behind their product or keep their word. Too many contractors do not really care about quality service. You have proven to be different from the pack with superior attitude and service. You actually followed up on your installer and service tech’s work.
I had other new garage doors installed for my house renovation at about the same time that the Carriage House Door replaced my old garage door. Your door looks much better, so much more substantial quality and actually costs a little less. How much more can I say? You should definitely use me for a satisfied customer reference. Elizabeth M.

Inspect your windows
carefully! Check for:
Gaps where you can
see daylight coming
through or feel air
leaking.
Condensation or
fogging between the
panes of double pane
glass.
Wood rot on
windows, doors or the
surrounding trim.
Make sure caulking
around windows, doors,
and trim is not breaking
down.
Single pane windows
should be replaced
because they are not
energy ef� cient and
they usually require
extensive maintenance,
including glazing and
painting. (By the way,
single pane windows
have not met building
codes in Atlanta since
2004!)
Your roof should be
maintained each year.
Many believe when
you buy a new roof
that it no longer needs
maintenance. But do
you buy a new car and
never maintain it?
No, of course you
don’t. You clean it,
change the oil, tires
and add/� ush � uids
on a regular basis.
Without regular
maintenance your
roof, just like your car,
will break down
eventually. This will
cost you money, time
and major frustration.
A regular maintenance
check includes a
complete inspection of
your roo� ng and gutter
systems as well as
sealing all vents,
plumbing stacks and
cleaning off all debris.
Spring is the perfect
time of year to pest-
proof your home! The
warmer temperatures
mean an increase
in pest activity for
common household
pests such as termites,
ants and mosquitoes
and the � rst step to
avoiding pest problems
is prevention.
I recommend
taking a room-by-
room approach to
eliminate any possible
entryways or items
that could attract
pests. Simple tasks like
screening windows,
proper landscaping,
eliminating moisture
and keeping kitchens
clean can really go a
long way in keeping
pests at bay. It’s
also not a bad idea
to have your home
inspected annually by
a licensed professional.
Many companies will
provide a whole-home
evaluation at no cost.

Maintenance CheckWhat should de� nitely be on every Atlanta homeowner’s spring maintenance checklist?

It’s important to ensure
your HVAC system is
ready to handle the
demands of warmer
weather.
Like your vehicle,
HVAC systems require
maintenance. If not
properly maintained
in the spring and
fall, you risk dealing
with the discomfort
and hassle of a
broken air conditioning
unit. The following
are tips to ensure your
system will be running
ef� ciently while saving
money on your energy
bills:
1. Turn your cooling
system on for a test run
to spot any issues
2. Change � lters
3. Ensure you have a
professional inspect
your systems ef� ciency,
safety, cleanliness and
refrigerant levels
DAVID CARDENCool Air Mechanical
As a professioal
plumber, I know one
thing: Trees love sewer
lines! Have y our sewer
line camera inspected
to check your line for
any cracks or breaks
where roots could
penetrate the line. If
they are already in
your line then have it
cleaned out.
Repair any freeze leaks
and research insulation
options to prevent
future freezing. Check
for any openings in
the foundation and
seal them against any
future cold snaps. Add
isolation valves to your
outdoor spigots. Make
sure all existing house
isolation valves are
functioning properly.
Spring brings rain!
Make sure your sump
pump is functional
and clean out any
debris that may be in
the sump pit. Clear
all French drains and
down spouts.

Sellers often ask me the question, “What is the best thing I can
do to improve my home’s value?”
This is a smart question to ask before you dive into a project.
Because many home renovations will not bring you enough
return on investment to
even cover the cost of
the project!
One of the cheapest and
most effective things
that you can do is to
clean and de-clutter
your home.
Whether your home
is viewed in photos
or in person, the
accumulation of clutter
gives the impression
that your home is
lacking in space and
adequate storage.
Dirt and grime give
the impression that
your home is not well
maintained and that’s
an immediate turn
off to buyers. This is the
very important �rst step in
getting your home ready to sell, and Consumer Reports says
that this step alone can add 3 to 5 percent of value to your home.
Here are some de-cluttering tips before showing or
photographing your home:
Entryway Clearance: In the entryway, remove any coats,
umbrellas and shoes. Clear off an entry table and add a lamp
for adequate lighting. Remove heavy rugs which may be
hiding beautiful hardwood �oors.
Living room: Remove big family photos and collectables
from tabletops and bookshelves. Remove any pieces of
furniture which serve no purpose. Move furniture away from
walls toward the center of the room, or toward a focal point
like a �replace. (This can actually make a room appear larger.)
Make sure there are no furniture or heavy draperies blocking
that precious light that buyers are always looking for.
Kitchen: Clear off all the countertops leaving only a few
essentials like a coffee maker, a beautiful ceramic platter
and a bowl of fresh fruit. Adequate lighting in kitchens and
baths is a must so replace old bulbs with ones that emit
bright and “warm white” versus blue or greenish light.
Bathroom: Completely clear countertops of personal items.
Personal spaces like these need to feel as clean and fresh as
possible so the buyer can imagine himself or herself using
the space. A long-lasting fresh orchid is a great addition to a
master bathroom.
Bedroom: Simply get
rid of the junk! Pack up
the clutter and have a
garage sale, sell it on
eBay or deliver it to your
local charity as a tax-
deductible donation.
Show plenty of empty
space on dressers,
tabletops, shelves and
closet �oors, which
gives the illusion of an
abundance of space and
storage.
Never use an empty
�nished room to store
excess furnishings.
If the furnishings in
a room do not make
sense, you are better off
leaving the space empty and
clean. If you need storage
space, try renting an offsite storage space.
Deep Clean: Scour the entire home to remove the buildup
of dust, grime or mildew. Pay particular attention to the
kitchen and bathrooms. Use a “Mr. Clean Magic Eraser” to
remove scuffs off baseboards.Shine those hardwood �oors
and treat that grout to remove stains. Hire a professional
to perform carpet and upholstery cleaning. Don’t forget the
windows.
Whether you need the assistance of cleaning professionals,
or you can tackle this step yourself, de-cluttering and
cleaning your home will give you the greatest return on
investment when getting your home ready to sell!
One of the most affordable and effective things that you can do before putting
your house on the market is to clean and de-clutter your home.

What’s Your Outdoor Personality?
PERSONALITY TYPE: FOR THE FAMILY
“ The love of family andthe admiration of friends is much more important than
wealth and privilege.”—Charles Kuralt

hen it comes to
landscaping, there
is no one-size (or
style) that �ts all.
Trends and aesthetics are far less
important than determining exactly
how that outdoor space will be used.
Just as homeowners want their
homes to re�ect who they are, so too
should their outdoor living spaces.
After all, if you plan on spending
money on this space, it had better be
comfortable and functional for you
and your family. But “comfortable”
and “functional” mean different
things to different families.
Comfortable for kids? For lavish
upscale, outdoor soirees? In other
words, �rst comes function…then
follows fashion.
So to help put together an outdoor
living space that is truly tailored
to you, read on to determine your
own outdoor living personality and
how to build an outdoor living space
around it.
What’s Your Outdoor Personality?Create an outdoor living space that truly re�ects you
AtlantaHomeImprovement.com ATLANTA HOME IMPROVEMENT MARCH 2015 25
0315_024-029_Outdoor-personality.indd 25 2/16/15 5:38 PM
De�ne YourselfDiscovering your outdoor personality
doesn’t have to be hard. Just ask
yourself the following questions:
How do you envision the space?
Is it a place for the kids to play, to
entertain, or to play and enjoy sports?
Or would you prefer a quiet place to
retreat and relax? How much of your
indoor personality do you want to
bring outside? The answers to these
questions can
help you focus
on your outdoor
personality,
which is
essential to
designing a
space you will
love. “If it doesn’t
speak to you, you will most likely not
spend any time enjoying the space,”
says Lindsey Barnhill of Architectural
Transformations LLC in Acworth. “This
translates to wasted time and money.”
Although not an exact science, most
homeowners will fall into one of the
following �ve outdoor personality
categories: “family friendly,” “the
serene spot,” “the entertainer,”
“gardener’s delight” and “the sports
enthusiast.” Family friendly, obviously,
revolves around families with kids
who enjoy outdoor play. “The serene
spot” is for homeowners who love a
quiet garden where they can relax and
unwind in a beautiful, yet subdued
environment. “The entertainer,” on
the other hand, frequently welcomes
guests to relax and enjoy the great
outdoors, whether sharing a meal or
having a party.
A “gardener’s delight” focuses on those
with a green thumb who love to play
in the dirt and take joy in the �owers,
trees and shrubs that make up their
landscape. “The sports enthusiast,”
however, is usually more focused on
the turf, making sure to choose one
that will withstand the ongoing wear
and tear of any number of sports. Read
on for a closer look at creating each of
these spaces.

0315_024-029_Outdoor-personality.indd 26 2/16/15 5:38 PM
For the FamilyFamily friendly homeowners should
seek out a level, open landscape that
provides a lot of room for the kids
to play. Many times, these outdoor
living spaces include a swimming
pool and a grounded play set.
Adults and kids usually require two
different areas, with different seating
needs. When it comes to shrubs
and plants, Phillip Paley, owner
of Paley Landscaping in Atlanta,
recommends lots of perennials
interspersed with a few bushes and
evergreens. For year-round color, he
also suggests small areas of annuals.
Overall, he recommends a simple,
easy-to-maintain approach to a
family-friendly outdoor space, since
most families are too busy for fussy
yardwork!
Kids tend to play long after the
sun sets, it’s wise to budget for
improvements to outdoor lighting.
The right light can keep kids safe
while spotlighting your favorite
outdoor features.
Serenity NowTo create a serene spot, the primary
focus should be on choosing
trees and shrubs that provide
good screening and privacy from
neighbors. Choose large evergreens
like hemlocks to add a lot of
privacy. Also, water features are
another great addition to a serene
spot. “Pondless water features are
big – the water falls, but it does
not pond,” says Scott Chatham,
founder and president of Chatham
Landscape Services in Marietta.
“It could be as simple as a pot or as
elaborate as a waterfall leading to a
manmade creek.”
Delightful EscapeWhen creating a “gardener’s delight”
it’s smart to choose a backdrop of
evergreens, which will elegantly frame
the garden year-round. Combine the
evergreens with an array of unique
and interesting plants like palm trees
or banana plants. Research new plants
and �nd ways to inject unique foliage
into your landscape. Showcase these
�nds with the right lighting. “Outdoor
lighting can highlight specimen trees,
path lighting would light the path and
some moonlighting effects coming
from above would give the soft effect
of a full moon each night,” Barnhill
says.
Game TimeSimilar to the entertainer, the sports
enthusiast wants a place not only
where friends can enjoy a friendly
game of football or Frisbee, but also
gather to watch the big game while
grilling steaks. As such, look for a good
quality yard and a comfortable seating
area. Many Atlanta homeowners
even request sports courts, custom
playgrounds and putting greens.

out of time.” —Michael Jordan, For the

0315_024-029_Outdoor-personality.indd 27 2/16/15 5:38 PM
Ready for a Good TimeFor the entertainer, the outdoor
living space could feature
everything from an open-area
yard, planters with � owers, a
brick patio and a built-in grill,
if not an entire kitchen. There
also should be ample seating
for guests. Be sure to plan out a
mixture of sun and shade, privacy
and openness. Clever placement
of fencing or screening with
hedges can prevent any
awkwardness with the your
neighbors any time you entertain.
The right lighting also is crucial
for entertaining. Think through
where you and your guests will
gather to chat, to eat, and to walk.
Light these areas appropriately.
Keeping Up AppearancesEnjoying a beautiful outdoor
living space comes from
maintaining that space on
a regular basis. Therefore,
Paley recommends creating a
landscape that � ts your needs,
lifestyle and budget. When
it comes to maintenance, “...
be very aware of what you’re
willing to put into it or pay for
someone else to do,” he says.
Also, regardless of your outdoor
personality, make sure you
create a space that complements
the home’s architecture and
style. When choosing materials
and layout, try to re� ect the
aesthetics of your home. Being
consistent in this way will make
your outdoor area feel more like
an open, comfortable, wonderful
extension of your home.

Spring is right around the corner. Will your lawn be ready? By following these � ve simple steps, you can ensure your lawn will be lush and green by the time your family is ready for some outdoor fun.
1 Clear the Site Rake up and collect any debris
that has accumulated over the winter months. Removing these rocks, leaves, and sticks now will improve air �ow and encourage healthier growth.
2 Test Soil Regular soil testing will help
address your lawn’s speci� c needs. Most turf grasses can tolerate a pH range between 6 and 7. Some varieties, like Centipede, thrive in a more acidic pH. Correct acidic soil with powdered lime and basic soils with sulfur additives. Always be sure to follow manufacturer’s directions for whichever products you choose.
3 Resist the Urge Do not lower the height of your
turf going into Spring. Trimming low too soon may cause frost damage and dead spots.
4 Apply Pre-emergents Pre-emergent herbicides inhibit
the germination of certain weed seeds and can provide blanket protection against weeds for up to 6 months.
5 Service Lawn Equipment Get ready for mowing season! Sharpen or replace the blades on your mower now. A
sharper blade produces better results and cuts down on the frequency of mowing.
If you believe your yard is in need of new sod, choose your sod company carefully. Look for locally produced sod to ensure quality and freshness. Your new turfgrass is an investment you will enjoy for years to come!

We’ve all heard it before: all that glitters isn’t gold. The same rings true when selecting quality teak furniture for your home. When buying outdoor furniture, it can be quite tempting to choose the lowest price option, but the cheapest price can often leave you disappointed in the long run.
Teak wood has long been established as the best and most durable of all outdoor furniture options. This is due to its unique combination of the density of the wood, along with the natural oils and resins that grow in the wood. No other wood contains this unique combination of density and resin.
Shop for the best teak with these tips:
• Countryoforigin – Teak is native to Thailand, Burma and parts of India. Teak is not native to IndonesiaorChina.
• Ageoftree – The best products on the market use trees that are over 40-years-old before being harvested. Furniture made from a 40-year-old Thai teak tree will appear darker than other products due to high oil content.
• KilnDrying – Premium teak is kiln dried to 8-12% moisture content.
• Joinery–Allmajorjointsshouldbemortiseandtenonjoints.
• Finishes – Brand new premium teak should never be stained or �nished. Manufacturers do this to hide imperfections.
• Metalpieces–Allmetalusedshouldeitherbebrassorstainlesssteeltoavoidrustandcorrosion.
Premium outdoor teak furniture is made with the best materials and craftsmanship. Look for quality teak and the best value.

For Summer Color, Remember Four P’s, Chatham says.
Chatham Landscape Services | 770-427-3020 | www.chathamlandscapes.com
Coloring summer landscapes with annuals requires planning, says Scott Chatham of Chatham Landscape Services. With nine awards, �ve for seasonal color, his company led the industry at last year’s Georgia Urban AG Council Professional Landscape Awards. Here’s his advice:
• reparat o . Till soil thoroughly and amend with decomposed material until it won’t clot when squeezed. Mound beds for drainage and display. For street visibility, make beds 50 square feet plus. For pedestrians, smaller is acceptable.
• laceme t. Locate beds to draw the eye. Mailbox? Front door? Bay window? Partial sun means good eastern or morning sun. Full sun means at least late morning through late afternoon.
• la t. Consider desired growth — creeping, upright, con�ned. Factor foliage into color selection — coleus, caladium and duranta have dazzling leaves. And know your tolerance for maintenance, which leads us to …
• amper . Some annuals are needy. Know their water, fertilizer and pinching requirements. Examples: lantana is low-maintenance; salvia and geraniums are heavy feeders that demand constant pinching.
Now rocee .
Clockwise from top left: Vinca, Dragon Wing Begonia, Duranta, Scaevola, Lantana, Angelonia, Coleus and Petunia.

Vetrazzo is a line of exquisite surface materials crafted from recycled glass and used anywhere natural stone is used; countertops, tabletops, architectural cladding and more. Vetrazzo surfaces offer a stunning and lively signature for residential or commercial projects. With over 85% recycled glass content, Vetrazzo allows homeowners, architects, designers, and builders to exhibit both their style and their respect for the earth and environment. All of the glass used in Vetrazzo is recycled, and it makes up approximately 85% of the final material. Our largest source of glass is the neighborhood curbside recycling programs. Other glass comes from post-industrial usage, windows, drinking glasses, stemware, automotive glass, stained glass, laboratory glass, reclaimed glass from building demolition, and other unusual sources such as decommissioned traffic light lenses. Because of the unique nature of the glass used in the production process, every Vetrazzo surface has its own history.

Q What is Vetrazzo?
AVetrazzo is a line of exquisite surface materials crafted from
recycled glass that can be used anywhere natural stone is used; countertops, tabletops, architectural cladding and more.
QWhat makes it so unique?
A It’s more eco-friendly than granite!
Plus, Vetrazzo surfaces offer a more lively design signature, which makes it perfect for both residential and commercial projects. 85% of the glass content is recycled, but is still very elegant.
Q How is it constructed?
AVetrazzo is manufactured by you, the home or residential owner. Once
glass products are discarded into your curbside recycling bin, it is then sent to a facility that processes the glass by color and glass type. Once sorted, the glass is crushed and packaged for companies to purchase for reuse.
Q How durable is it compared to granite?
AAlong with its strength, Vetrazzo is scratch and heat resistant. It can be
used wherever granite or other natural stone surfaces are found.
Q Is it easy to maintain?
ATo maintain the original look of your countertop, do not use abrasive
cleaners. Instead, regularly use a warm damp cloth to clean up spills or scrapes.

For most of us, our homes are our largest investment. In many ways it says who we are and how we live.
Most people have one opportunity to enhance their entry. Why not purchase a custom designed door that speaks to your individuality? Why not own a beautiful design-quality front door that not only improves the look of the home, but creates value? It will also create an actual return on your investment if you decide to sell.
Exchanging your old tired builder’s grade door with a new improved entry system is a big project. Do it once and do it right. Don’t settle for something off-the-shelf at the supply store. If you plan to spend the money anyway, get something great! Most systems in big box stores are commodity de�cient in design and structure.
Consider working with someone that has design experience to guide you. Take an afternoon to choose a door style, a �nish color, a glass texture or an iron design that you love!
If your entry feels rich, it re�ects on your entire home. Changing it is one of the few projects that will be appreciated inside and out. It’s important. It shows. Design and quality speak volumes! Consider a custom-designed door next time you face the challenge of purchasing a new entry.

Free-standing tubs are in. Deeper than an average tub, freestanding tubs can be placed in different locations in a bathroom and can lend an antique or a very modern feel.
Size MattersOne of the fi rst things to think about before installing a free-standing tub is where you are going to put it. Because you can install them almost anywhere, most people choose to ‘fl oat’ the tubs vs. placing them against a wall. This obviously requires more fl oor space in the bathroom, which is why they are best suited to larger bathrooms.
Budget TipsFree-standing tubs come in many designs, sizes, and materials, depending on your taste and budget. Most cost $3,000-$7,000 but hold the sticker shock! Remember, you will not have to spend money on material and labor to build a deck around a free-standing tub, which can save you hundreds of dollars.
Different considerations can affect the cost, including the material (cast iron or fi berglass), brand, and design of the tub and faucet. Always factor in the cost of demolition, plumber and a carpenter (if needed) and new fl ooring.
Plumb It!Because the plumbing for these tubs is visible, you need to consider aesthetics, fi nish (popular choices include brushed nickel, chrome and polished nickel), and faucet. There are several faucet styles, including gooseneck, rim and hand-held. There are ‘unseen’ considerations, like moving all the drain and water pipes under and up through the fl oor, which could involve cutting and drilling through beams in order to relocate the plumbing. There are also plumbing codes to consider, such as a faucet spout being located one or two inches above the tub rim.
Let us help decide if this trend works for you, your home and your budget. An Enhance Floors & More Design Consultant is waiting to help you!

This retired Woodstock couple was tired of their large but dated backyard, which included a basic rectangular �berglass pool with limited gathering areas, plain landscaping and an unsightly railroad tie retaining wall.
For this project the couple chose the Alpharetta-based Outside Landscape Group. Company owner Rick Kaldrovics lead this project and always kept in mind his client’s desire to enjoy their retirement in a new “resort styled backyard”.
Although challenging, this plan modernized the dated pool by adding a new spa with spillway and a raised lounging deck with several sheer water falls spilling into the pool. The surrounding pool decks include all-natural stone decking with spacious gathering areas for entertaining and large sweeping steps.
The back side of the pool called for a “destination living area” away from the house, with a new cabana. The pool house is large enough to host a casual lounging conversation area, a dining spot, and a complete outdoor kitchen with �replace! To complete the feel of the resort backyard, a natural water feature with waterfalls, boulders, �sh and plants were added to the plan. Finally, both a new lighting system for nighttime entertaining and a sound system for music were installed to this stunning new “resort!”

CSI Kitchen & Bath StudioWhen these homeowners purchased this home, they inherited a white on white on white kitchen with peeling cabinets. There was no question--they wanted to remodel the kitchen immediately to bring it up-to-date with new appliances, improved functionality, and a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
The kitchen space was adequate, but it was underutilized. We located the cooktop and chimney hood on a long angled wall with lots of additional cabinet storage and counterspace, putting the cooktop in closer proximity to the sink for convenience. A new 36,” 5-burner gas cooktop with a 42” hood above it is ready to prepare meals for family or large gatherings. Lots of storage features were incorporated, including a pullout trashcan near the sink, drawers for pots and pans under the cooktop, and rollout shelves inside base cabinets. The tall units—refrigerator and microwave/oven cabinet—were placed together on the back wall where they would not interfere visually with the openness of the space.
A visual trick helps disguise the pantry. We modifi ed the opening and replaced the door with matching cabinet doors that open to reveal the pantry space within. Outside the pantry, a small buffet with glass-fronted wall cabinets acts as a server for the adjacent dining room. A striking feature that the homeowners really love is the new table extension for everyday family meals. This table fi lled a lot of wasted space, connects with the family room, and really completes the kitchen. A wine storage unit is tucked neatly beneath it.
We used rich cherry cabinets in a dark chocolate fi nish by Schrock in a Craftsman style for a simple, yet elegant look and topped them with Santa Cecilia granite.
Lighter fl oors in oak and travertine tile on the walls are a nice contrast with the dark cabinets. The homeowners now have a stunning new kitchen that welcomes
friends and family for good meals and good times. – CSI Kitchen & Bath Studio, visit with them in booth #
706 at the Atlanta Home Show.
Vision Stairways & Millwork& Tango Doors
Jim Lewis of Vision Stairways & Millwork & Tango Doors says, “Sometimes we simply bring new ideas to old
designs”. Visit with them in booth # 620 at the Atlanta Home Show.
Window WorldWe completely changed the look of this modular home using Prodigy siding, Versetta Stone siding (looks like stones), 4000 series double hung windows, gutters and the shutters. It was a relatively quick process and the customers love their “new” home! – Window World, visit with them in booth # 724 at the Atlanta Home Show.

ShoreWall SystemTired of fl imsy plastic shelving and nowhere to hang tools, this homeowner chose the heavy duty ShoreWall System to organize their space. After removing their clutter and painting the fl oor and workbench, they hung the ShoreWall System in two hours. With metal shelving and heavy duty hooks, their space is fi nally organized. ShoreWall Systems, manufactured by Shorewood Industries in LaGrange GA. Visit with them in booth # 809 at the Atlanta Home Show.
Concrete ResurfacingThe existing concrete patio was old, cracked and needed an update. We use the Stardek line of products. The application is a Stamped Overlay in a Flagstone pattern with hand cut stones. The base
color is Sandstone and we added highlights to the stones. The Stamped Overlay application gives
the appearance of real stone at a fraction of the cost. This type of installation typically takes 2 to 3
days from start to fi nish depending on the square footage of the area to
be covered. – Concrete Resurfacing Products, visit with them in
booth # 1623 at the Atlanta Home Show.
Unique EnvironmentalThis unutilized space was maximized by creating an outdoor
entertainment area. The fi re pit creates an inviting area to relax in the backyard with the sounds of trickling water coming from the decorative urn. The blending of hardscapes and landscape
installation takes what was once was an unusable area and creates a
destination to relax and unwind. Here we also have a Dry Creek bed. Dry
Creek beds are perfect to manage water fl ow and address drainage issues in the
landscape. Creating a natural more inviting Dry Creek bed helps the function blend into the surrounding landscape.

Outdoor LivingSpaces…
Can’t afford $50K to transform your yard? No problem! There are still many ways to create a fun, affordable living space outside.
GET COLORFUL:Because neutral is the most natural, most landscaping elements aren’t inherently colorful. Most existing decks and patios come in subtle shades of gray, brown or green. Not exactly party-central. Luckily, you can add kicks of color in many areas of your landscape...affordably.
Textiles: A few bright throw pillows can transform a ho-hum patio set into to a bright and welcoming outdoor entertaining area. Vibrant outdoor rugs can help break up and defi ne large expanses of patio or decking. Use an outdoor rug to turn a chaise lounge set into a comfortable conversation nook. Or defi ne an elegant dining area in one corner of your deck with a chic outdoor rug. The best part is that you can change styles and moods to suit any occasion: from a grown-up cocktail party under the stars, to a cheerful children’s birthday party!
Flowers: Speaking of color, you don’t need to have a naturally “green” thumb to inject color in your outdoor living space. You don’t even need a garden! In fact, hiring a pro to simply add a border of bright blooms to your walkways and patios is more affordable than you think. Easier still, stop by a nursery and choose a larger colorful planter fi lled with big gorgeous fl owers. Talk about affordable impact!
SURPRISING SEATING: You don’t need deck or patio to create a beautiful sitting area! (And you don’t have to settle for a picnic table either.) At your next party, experiment with bringing a little of the indoors...out.
A dining table with a pretty outdoor tablecloth can turn any level bit of grass into a wonderfully unexpected gathering place. Wooden benches can be found at any weekend fl ea market or garage sale and, after a glossy spray paint facelift, can convert an unused corner of your lawn into a cozy new reading area. And don’t forget the hammocks! Strategically place one or two in your backyard, load them up with pillows, and watch your family and guests happily gravitate to them.

diybloggersbeatPersonalized Wall Art On The CheapHow darling is this? A few simple, smart steps can create one big artistic impact! Check out this neat “Quatrefoil
Photo Wall Art” project we found on Erin Spain’s awesome blog “DIY on the Cheap.” (What does quatrefoil mean? It’s
just the fancy name of this frame’s shape, which resembles a four leaf clover.)
6 Simple Steps
1Print an enlarged quatrefoil template
(mine was 36” x 36”) and an enlarged
blueprint copy of a high-resolution
photograph. You can print both of these at a
local print shop.
2Attach two
sheets of
1-inch thick
Insulfoam (found
at the hardware
store) side by side
using packing
tape in order to
accommodate a
� nal project width of 36 inches.
3Trace your
quatrefoil
template
onto the
Insulfoam and
cut it out using a
utility knife, and
trace it onto the back of your photograph
and cut that out too.
4Adhere your quatrefoil shaped
photograph to your quatrefoil shaped
Insulfoam using spray adhesive.
5Attach 1-inch
ribbon to
the edge of
your project using
nailhead trim,
equally spacing
the nailheads to
create a decorative
look.
6Attach it to the wall using Velcro
picture hanging strips.
