 It is said that both home and self improvement often start with your closets. The more effective and organized your closets are, the more effective and organized you feel.
  Even on the dullest winter day, colour fills our lives. Look around and you will see a thousand shades of greens and browns, violets, greys, golds and blues. Colour is also part of our language.
 Before having your Realtor post that "For Sale" sign in front of your home, be sure to take a careful look at the inside and outside of the house.  Today more and more homeowners are directing their energy and creativity towards redecorating the bathroom.  They say you can't judge a book by its cover. But when it comes to houses, the exterior can be just as important as the interior if selling or buying. To most of us, electricity is simply flicking a switch or turning a dial to light up a room, cook supper or get instant entertainment. We take it for granted -- that is, until there's a power failure and we have to scramble to find flashlights, candles and matches in the dark. How well is your home resisting the cold this winter? A close look at your heating and electrical bills this month will probably give you a good idea. You can cut those rising energy bills by as much as 20 per cent simply by taking some easy, inexpensive, do-it-yourself measures.  Fireplaces may no longer be the only source of heating in homes, but there's still nothing much nicer than a warm hearth on a cold winter night.
 Growing plants and flowers, both indoors and outdoors adds an element of beauty to your yard and home that can be very satisfying. It's also profitable. Well-placed trees, shrubs, flowering plants and an attractive lawn can increase the value of your property by as much as 10 per cent.  A heating system converts fuel into heat which then flows through a house. The efficiency of a heating system depends on the amount of fuel consumed to meet heating needs. Using less fuel means your system has increased its energy efficiency. HOMEOWNER'S PRIMER: DO YOU KNOW THE BASICS?New homeowners often find there's more to keeping up a house than cutting the grass and clearing snow from the driveway.
