MORTGAGE RATES: 3D House To Home House of the Week Remodeling Illuminated by Gradual 4D 2D Knitwear on furniture can be attractive ondon-based knitwear designer Melanie Porter turned her skills to home furnishings when she acquired an antique chair that needed reupholstering. “But I couldn’t find a fabric I liked, so I instinctively turned to knit,” she said. Several years later, her growing collection includes a funky ‘70s-era chair covered in the Union Jack, a cushion festooned with ruffly knit “corsages,” and several pieces upholstered in a cozy, creamy fisherman knit. “It’s a technique that allows me to position color and texture in precise KIM COOK positions; felting the knit makes it hard-wearing,” she said. Like a soft, comfy sweater, the array of knitwear-inspired home decor now on the market is easy to love. Knitting’s a trendy hobby, so it makes sense that furnishings designers want to play with the materials and motifs, too. Some of the best designs come out of Europe. Claire Anne O’Brien draws on her Irish roots to craft chunky, colorful stools that exaggerate the scale of several knitting stitches. She has experimented with chenille loops in a series of plush, modular semicircles. And her “Chairwear” pieces are exactly that — furniture dressed in sweater slipcovers, complete with turtlenecks, buttons and cuffs.

In December, the energy efficiency tax credit for homeowners was extended for another year. If you choose to burn wood and want to purchase a new, more efficient wood-burning stove, you may qualify for a federal credit. According to the United State Environmental Protection Agency’s “Burnwise” website — a clearinghouse for all things wood burning — the credit gives $300 for the purchase of a qualified biomass-burning stove purchased between Jan. 1, 2011 and Dec.31, 2011. Any wood- or pellet-burning stove that meets the 75 percent efficiency rating qualifies. Professional installation costs are included as long as installation is required for the proper and safe operation of the stove or fireplace. One Marquette store, the Recreation Depot, has added a fireplace showroom so customers can get a better idea of how the items will look in their home. More info: n The Environmental Protection Agency’s Burnwise website has a wealth of information about choosing a woodburning appliance — either as a primary source of heat, as supplemental heat or for ambiance. For information on wood stoves, pellet stoves, fireplace inserts, fireplaces, masonry heaters and more, visit www.epa.gov/burnwise/appliances.html The Recreation Depot, located in the back of Household Appliance, has been in business since October 2009. Lonnie Katt, who owns the business with his wife Michelle, said the showroom gives people a more realistic image of a working fireplace. “It’s a lot easier to sell something when a customer can see that thing operate, burning, blower on, feel the heat coming off of it, see the glow of the flame,” he said.

(AP photo) Rain garden helps control runoff By KATHY BOND-BORIE Family Features Storm water runoff can be a big problem during heavy thunderstorms. As the water rushes across roofs and driveways, it picks up oil and other pollutants. Municipal storm water treatment plants often can’t handle the deluge of water, and in many locations the untreated water ends up in natural waterways. The EPA estimates as much as 70 percent of the pollution in our streams, rivers, and lakes is carried there by storm water. To reduce the excess wa- On the Net: n www.garden.org ter runoff, many towns are encouraging businesses and homeowners to install rain gardens in their yards. Rain gardens are specially constructed gardens located in low areas of a yard where storm water can collect. The idea is to have the water naturally funnel to this garden. The rain garden collects water runoff and stores and filSee Garden p. 3D Black-eyed susans m ake a colorfuladdition to rain gardens.(Fam ily Features photo Courtesy ofFotolia) 2D The Mining Journal Thursday, August 25, 2011 House to Home August blooms are delightful or Upper Peninsula gardeners, the flower blooms during the last week of August promise spectacular color. In my two flower gardens there is an abundance of colors in chaos. At eye level bloom two clumps of the perennial Echinacea, or cone flowers. They have firm stalks and are mellow pink with large seed heads. One poor clump suffers from an invasive yarrow root and needs my immediate rescue (scalpel, please!). Next to these beauties, blue morning glories struggle up a lopsided trellis that recent strong winds nearly blew over. And at last, six sunflowers grow over three feet tall but will not make the six feet the seed packet promised. Their sweet yellow/brown faces hover near a nice patch of black-eyed susans. As I inspect my annual seed and cut flower garden, I caress a few Zinnias (planted from seed last May). Near the Zin- F DONNA CAMPBELL nias, I feel a smug satisfaction to finally witness the gladiola bulbs I planted 90 days ago. They now unfurl their promised blossoms. How beautiful they will look gracing the table. I will cut and trim a bunch and place them in my grandmother’s crystal heirloom vase. I will think of her lovingly and thank her silently for teaching me the wonders of gardening. And if this wasn’t delight enough, the autumn nasturtiums, asters and mums are pushing through with the promise of September and October color. I guess I could say all is well in the flower garden, if I overlook the always looming chore of weeding. For flower gardens in the Upper Peninsula, dividing, dead-heading and pruning are the only real and worthy chores left, and can fill an entire weekend. Which is just as well, as the vegetable gardens will commandeer more of a gardener’s time now. There is no rest for both flower and vegetable gardeners in late August. Still, this is my favorite time of year — the two quiet weeks before the Labor Day weekend and local school start-ups. It is a good time for gardeners to reflect on the year and tentatively sketch out expansion or downsizing plans for next year. EDITOR’S NOTE: Donna Campbell is a master gardener who lives and gardens in Marquette Ways to minimize the mess at home By Family Features It can be a challenge to keep the house clean, especially for busy families. When the kids are home from school, it means more dirt, mud and sand get tracked in, whether it’s from sports practice or backyard fun. Pets add to the mess, too. In fact, a recent study conducted by the NPD Group revealed more than half of pet owners (51 percent) reported that managing and cleaning up pet hair is their number one cleaning chore. Pierra Jolly, founder and editor of JollyMom.com, a website devoted to her daily trials and tribulations of raising a 3-year-old and Labrador retriever in Atlanta, can relate. “Certain times of the year I typically double my cleaning efforts, making sure that everything is under control just in case we are babysitting, dog sitting or hosting an unexpected cookout or sleepover,” Jolly said. “Unless I stick to my established cleaning schedule, I fall behind.” Keep your sanity with these Jolly Mom tips for minimizing messes: ≤ Clean One Room a Day to Keeps Messes Away — Develop a cleaning schedule where each day is devoted to one room in your home (for example, kitchen on Tuesday, bedrooms on Wednesday). Save the rooms that are considered high-traffic areas for later in the week in case of unexpected company. ≤ Avoid Pet Hair Emergencies — The guests are about to arrive and suddenly you realize that your pet has picked an in-opportune time to hop on the couch. Tidy up with the Hoover TSeries WindTunnel Pet. Made with pet lovers in mind, it comes with an AirPowered Pet Hair Hand Tool. Rubber blades collect hair and powerful suction carries it away. A rinsable filter and high-quality HEPA filter helps absorb odors from your furry friends, all for less than $100. Additionally, consider grooming more frequently to help control shedding. ≤ Start at the Top — When you are cleaning a room, start at the ceiling with the corners and light fixtures, and work your way to the floor. Finish by vacuuming to pick up all the dust and dirt from your efforts. ≤ Leave the mess outside – Make sure the dirt from the outdoors stays where it came from. Avoid tracking in grass, mud and sand by establishing a mud room, a place for the kids to store toys, shoes, towels and sports equipment. ≤ Let the Air In – After giving the carpets a deep cleaning, open the windows. Fresh air will speed up the process of drying carpets, allowing your family to enjoy the cleaned rooms without spoiling the hard work. Plus, instead of investing in an expensive carpet cleaning service, try the Hoover MaxExtract77. Not only does it work wonders on dirty carpets, it pulls up a lot of dirty water so your floors dry fast and you’ll be back to living on those deepcleaned floors quickly.

It’s a reality ofourfragile econom y:Many hom eowners who dream of the perfectkitchen orm asterbath are putting full-scale renovation on hold in favorofm ore lim ited changes.(AP photo) Homeowners taking on projects in stages Mini-makeovers By MELISSA RAYWORTH For The Associated Press It’s a reality of our fragile economy: Many homeowners who dream of the perfect kitchen or master bath are putting full-scale renovation on hold in favor of more limited changes. “What’s on everyone’s minds is making the space feel a little better and function a little better until you can reach the ultimate kitchen or bath that you want,” said Danny Lipford, host of the nationally syndicated home-improvement radio show “Homefront with Danny Lipford.” He said he often hears from listeners planning smaller redecorating projects to tide them over until real renovation fits in their budgets. But which small projects are worth it if you’re going to remodel the space within just a few years? Choose projects that offer big change at little cost, or that serve as first steps toward eventual full-scale renovation, said Sabrina Soto, designer and host of HGTV’s new series “The High Low Project.” LOOK TO THE LARGEST SURFACES Lipford suggests making changes to the biggest surfaces in a room, such as countertops or floors. Old laminate countertops can now be painted for less than $50, he said, and the results look surprisingly good. Using a type of paint sold in a kit (Lipford recommends one found at Gianigranite.com), homeowners can paint over the old countertop and then seal it with a coating that mimics the look and solid feel of laminate. Tanya Memme, host of A&E’s “Sell This House,” agrees that big surfaces are a good place to start. “Any room will look bad if the floors aren’t in decent shape,” she said. Cover a soon-to-be-replaced wood or tile floor with a colorful new rug, or put down peel-and-stick vinyl tiles. Good quality vinyl tiles resembling granite can cost several hundred dollars if you’re covering a full kitchen floor. But the change is dramatic, so it may be worthwhile even for just a few years of use. Old ceramic tile floors and tile walls can get a facelift for just a few dollars if you use grout stain, Lipford says. You can make dingy grout a pristine white again or change it to See Makeover p. 3D Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors THIS WELL-BUILT RANCH HOME is situated in a park-like setting on the Michigamme River with river views from many rooms.

Sizing Up a Rain Garden The rain garden’s size and location depends on the yard. If you’re the type of person who likes precise measurements, there are guidelines you can follow for estimating the ideal size of a rain garden for your particular situation. For example, you’d want to measure the area of your roof that will be draining into the gutter leading to the rain garden, as well as the size of any paved areas that will be contributing to runoff into the garden. If your soil is sandy (which Makeover from 2D a new color that contrasts with your old tile. Memme suggests adding a tile backsplash to a kitchen wall for a burst of new style. Do it yourself to save money. “It might seem difficult to put up tile, but actually it’s very easy to do,” she said. Small tiles come on a mesh sheet, so you’re not placing each one.

But don’t let these numbers intimidate you — any size rain garden is better than none at all. The ideal place for a rain garden is in a natural depression. You also can funnel water from downspouts or gutters into the garden. The soil should be well drained so the water doesn’t sit in the garden for more than two days. A special rain garden soil mix of 50 to 60 percent sand, 20 to 30 percent topsoil, and 20 to 30 percent compost is recommended. You can dig this mixture into the soil to depth of 2 feet before planting. room’s lighting and bring in fresh color. “Everybody gets used to what’s up on their windows, because they’ve been living with it,” Memme said. “They don’t see the wear and tear.” Remove old blinds or shades and replace them with inexpensive curtains. easily be changed. Swap out old knobs for new door handles, switch from brass to nickel, or bring in jeweled or glass or ceramic pieces for added style. Faucets also can be changed now and then reused when you eventually replace the entire sink. UPGRADE APPLIANCES Soto suggests phasing in new major appliances ahead of a full kitchen renovation. If need be, they can be relocated elsewhere in the room once the remodeling is done. She also suggests buying new countertop appliances, such as microwaves or toaster ovens, now, with the anticipated redesign of the kitchen in mind. If you can’t replace appliances now but are craving change, Lipford said appliance paint is available from Rustoleum and other companies. It can give new life to an old refrigerator or dishwasher and is easy to apply yourself. Choosing Plants The most difficult part of building a rain garden can be plant selection. The plants in a rain garden need to be tolerant of sitting in water now and then, so native plants and wildflowers are good choices because they’re so adaptable. You probably already grow many of them - ferns, ornamental grasses, sedges, iris, milkweed, asters, and black-eyed susans, to name a few. The idea is to create a naturalistic planting that’s easy to maintain (no fertilizer needed) and welcoming to butterflies and bees and other creatures. OUT WITH THE OLD Old glass shower doors can be removed relatively easily and replaced by a stylish fabric shower curtain. Swap out old kitchen chairs with cool, flea-market finds, or recover chair cushions yourself with a few yards of new fabric. Replace a dated bathroom mirror with an inexpensive framed one, or build your own frame with strips of molding. These projects can give an outdated kitchen or bath enough new life to keep a homeowner happy until true renovation is possible.
