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

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

Consumers can still cash in on
tax credits for wood stoves
By CHRISTOPHER DIEM
Journal Staff Writer
MARQUETTE — With
tax credits for installation
and cleaner technology, an
old heating source — wood
stoves may be a new trend.
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.

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-

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

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

black-eyed susans.
As I inspect my annual

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.

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.

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

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

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.

drains quickly), you’d want
your rain garden to be
about 20 to 30 percent of
the area that will be draining into it (roof plus driveway, etcetera) If you have
clay soil, your ideal rain
garden would be 60 percent
of the drainage area. 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

Faucets also can be

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.
