Versatile, Beautiful& Natural – Stonehas everything youneed to create aunique and memo-rable interior andexterior design.From the kitchen tothe patio, from theentranceway to thegreat room, to theexterior face of yourhome, Stone hasthe color and tex-ture to match any
setting for a naturalfit. Here is a samplingof some of the mostpopular stones:
• CobblefieldThe distinctivestyle of Cobblefieldevokes the ruggedarchitecture of rural19th-century Amer-ica. It's an "un-coursed" stone,meaning that it isn'tdesigned to line up
into uniform rows.Rough-hewn andinformal, yet trimand organized—it'sequally at home inboth traditional andcontemporary ar-chitectural environ-ments.
• Country Ledgestone
Country Ledge-stone is a popularstone because of itswarm Arts & Craftsflavor. Its extensivepalette allows forvirtually endless op-portunities to mixand match the tex-ture with today'swide variety ofhome buildingproducts. The ex-tensive color palettealso offers subtlevariations fromother ledgestones.
• Dressed Fieldstone
Dressed Field-stone has a time-less look. Itsrugged character
evokesage-oldbuild-ingmateri-als, yetit alsolooks athome in a morecontemporary ar-chitectural setting.Thanks to its richtexture and rangeof colors it's suitedto any number ofdesign interpreta-tions.
• Drystack Ledgestone
The texture andvariation of Drys-tack Ledgestonecapture both lightand shadow. Eachstone comes incarefully selectedand shapes andsizes to accommo-date tight spaces.Its rustic colorpalette blends wellwith contemporaryroofing and wall fin-
ishes. • Euro-pean CastleStoneReminis-
cent of ma-jestic
European castles,this favorite offersageless appeal. Itsinterlocking mortargrooves create aprecise, groutlessappearance —much like the cas-tles of old. Availablein a selection ofheights andlengths, these geo-metric lookingstones are excep-tionally compatiblewith a broad rangeof architecturalstyles.
• FieldstoneThroughout thehistory of home-building, fieldstonehas remained thehandiest and mostcommonly used ofall building materi-
als because it hasnatural appeal.Wherever this sur-face appears—in-doors, outdoors, intailored architectureor on a log home inthe woods—it pro-vides a powerful,rugged characterno other materialcan match.
• Old CountryFieldstone
Inspired by greatEuropean countryarchitecture, thistexture allows for awide variety oflooks depending onhow it's applied.With a wide over-grout joint it givesthe appearance ofrural stoneworkdone in a past cen-tury. At the otherend of the spec-trum, set horizon-tally and fitted tight,it can offer a farmore formal, urbanpresence.

As recently as the1980s, it was oftenchallenging for an un-married woman to geta credit card—letalone a mortgage. Buttoday, nearly twice asmany single womenare buying homesthan single men. Thereason?

(ARA) - As the weatherwarms, are you thinkingabout spring cleaning?Or, maybe you're plan-ning to spruce up yourhome with some im-provements and up-grades. This year, whynot add "spring green-ing" to your home-fresh-ening routine?Making your home a"greener" place to livecan improve its energyefficiency, reduce wasteand make you feel morein harmony with the nat-ural world springing tolife around you. Greenefforts can be as simpleas switching out old in-candescent light bulbsfor more energy-efficientones, or as energetic asadding skylights in thehouse or a vegetablegarden in the backyard.If you're looking forways to make yourhome environment moreearth-friendly thisspring, here are someideas to consider:
Powering downNo matter how eageryou are for warmweather, you're proba-bly not too excitedabout the electric billsthat come with summerheat. Heating and cool-ing account for thelargest portion of ahome's energy bill. For-tunately, you can do alot to reduce electric use- and waste - to trimcosts and still keep yourhome comfortable.If you're up for someminor improvementwork that can pay offbig in terms of energysavings, make yourhome feel more con-nected to nature, andadd decorating flair,consider adding a sky-light. The abundant nat-ural light admitted toyour home by skylightscan help reduce theneed to power artificiallight sources. Plus, thenatural chimney effect ofventing skylights is agreat way to passivelyvent moisture, fumesand potentially harmfulvolatile organic com-pounds (VOCs). Inspring and fall, when it'stoo warm for comfort,but not hot enough tojustify turning on the airconditioning, ventingskylights can let in coolbreezes and lower cool-ing costs. And they canclose automatically incase of rain. You canlearn more about NoLeak Skylights and theirenergy-efficient benefitsat www.veluxusa.com.You can also reduceenergy costs in warmermonths with some sim-ple maintenance. Duringsummer, when yourcooling system worksharder, be sure tochange the air filter onyour home's HVAC sys-tem every month. Ener-gyStar.gov alsorecommends a yearlytune-up of your system.
Greening upSome of the most pop-ular home improve-
ments can be accom-plished in ways that areenvironmentally friendly.For example, painting isa common springspruce-up. Many paints,however, contain VOCsand give off fumes thatcan irritate allergies andasthma. You can makeyour redecorating moreeco-conscious by opt-ing for low-VOC paints.And always be sure toopen plenty of windowsbefore painting, even ifyou're using a low-VOCselection. The fresh airwill help the paint dryfaster and ensure thatany unpleasant odorsvent quickly.Another commonspring activity is lawncare. As warm weatherapproaches, manyhomeowners begin ap-plying weed killer andfertilizer to their lawns inthe hopes of having alush, green carpet ofgrass come summer.Many lawn care prod-
ucts, however, can ad-versely affect the envi-ronment. If it's a priorityfor you to green yourlawn - and not just tohave green grass - it'spossible to find plenty ofeco-friendly lawn careproducts. Websites likewww.OMRI.org, thehome page of the Or-ganic Materials ReviewInstitute, can provide in-formation on productsthat are environmentallyfriendly.Finally, as you're un-dertaking your springcleaning, keep in mindthe need to reducewaste.
