Lighting- Setting the Theme

I usually browse magazine stands for ideas on remodeling and design. Most of the time I am disappointed by too much advertising and too little substance. I was completely awed by Better Homes & Gardens' Special Interest Publishers "Lighting- Setting the Scene" magazine that I picked up in a Lighting Store. Every home owner who is thinking of a remodel or just wants to enhance there existing space for a few dollars will benefit from it. The best news is that it's free. Here are some highlights and how to get a free copy.

LIFESPAN facia installed on new addition

Remodeling a home as opposed to buying a spec house will mean that you will have many decisions to make. One has to do with exterior facia, molding and trim that you will use.

We were going with good old fashion wood when we were presented with another alternative called LIFESPAN® outdoor wood products in addition to primed select spruce called Novatrim®.
