What is a fresh, new, and widely-popular neutral color within interior design circles? That would be grey. Quick-Step offers a variety of styles and options with grey undertones. Grey-toned floors provide the ideal backdrop to let your style and favorite colors shine through, and they also transition well as interior design styles and trends change.

Grey is no longer viewed as a “trend” color in design circles, but is now viewed by professional designers as the “new neutral”.

“Grey is the new brown,” says Erinn Valencich, L.A.-based interior designer and blogger for HGTV’s Design Happens. “I used a grey-based floor in my new design studio because it goes well under a myriad of other wood tones. You don’t have to use grey-based furniture on top of it - grey looks great with all wood tones.” Another benefit to grey-based flooring, Valencich adds, is that it’s very forgiving.

• Check for a license where required.

• Ask for proof of insurance coverage (e.g. workers compensation, property, liability)

• Ask about experience and training • Inquire whether the project requires a permit, and who is responsible for obtaining it. Consider double-checking with local authorities about whether a permit is required.

• Get a written contact. Under the law, contracts for jobs costing $500 or more must be in writing, but it's best to get a written contract in all cases.

Make sure the contract includes: • The approximate start date and completion date of the work, including any contingencies that would change the completion date • A specific description of the work and materials, including brands, model numbers and other identifying information, along with the price • A requirement that the contractor will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and codes, and that no work will be done until the contractor has obtained all necessary permits.

• Keep in mind that the law gives you three days to cancel a home improvement contract.

Cancellation must be in writing and should be sent to the contractor by certified mail, return receipt requested. (dos.ny.gov) Join the Conversation: Go to www.facebook.com/ pages/LifeandHomes-Syracuse to leave your thoughts on this and other articles.

newsShorts Replacing Your Roof?

Cooler Colors Save Money Look at the roofs of the office buildings, warehouses, shopping centers, and even the homes. Most of them are probably pretty dark in color – and this means they heat up a lot when the weather is warm.

All of those dark roofs mean that we’re using a lot more air conditioning than we need to. At least a billion dollars a year in extra power bills, in fact. * Dark roofs can be 50 degrees hotter than light roofs. * Dark roofs, combined with dark roads and parking lots, cause cities to be 2-5 degrees hotter than rural developments. * A cooler roof means lower energy bills –up to 10-15% lower – when it’s warm out because your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard.

So if you or someone you know is planning some work on the roof of your building or home, check out whether cool roofing is a good option for your climate zone. Go to www.roofcalc.com to calculate how much money you might save.

Carbon Monoxide

Poisoning Prevention Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a deadly, colorless, odorless gas. On average, about 170 people in the US die each year from CO produced by non-automotive consumer products, including malfunctioning furnaces, ranges, water heaters, generators, and fireplaces.

and serviced annually as well as chimneys and flues. Never self -service fuel-burning appliances and never operate a portable generator or other gasoline powered tool either in or near an enclosed space such as a house or garage. Even with open doors and windows, CO levels can build to lethal levels.

Install a CO alarm that meets current safety standards in the halllway near every separate sleeping level of the house and keep them free from furniture and draperies.

Remember, alarms have a recommended replacement age, which can be obtained from the manufacturer.

Above all, if the CO alarm signals, immediately move outside to fresh air and call the fire department or 911. Do not reenter the premises until emergency services responders have given you permission.

House-Hunt

Redemption

Because CO is undetectable to human senses, people may not know they are being exposed.

Symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, mental confusion, vomiting and loss of consciousness.

To avoid CO poisoning, make sure all appliances are installed and operated according to instructions and local building codes. Have your heating system professionally inspected

Revive Your Bathroom Quickly, Easily and Affordably One of the top return-on-investment remodeling projects is updating a bathroom. Bathroom updates even outweigh kitchen projects in terms of getting back what you spend, according to CNN Money.

And, if you take a cost-conscious approach and do the project yourself, your investment return will be even better. Renting tools is a key way you can cut costs and bring new life into your bathroom.

Remodeling projects have increased in popularity over the past few years as homeowners have decided to improve on what they have, rather than take a risk in the real estate market. Whether you're hoping to sell your home or create a more enjoyable living space, tackle home improvement projects that make a big impact and add value.

problem that makes bathrooms look old. Replacing it with fresh new tile that is in style will instantly give the room a modern look. Tiling is a DIY project that anyone can tackle, with the right tools. Rent the necessary items like a tile stripper, a tile saw and a mortar mixer to keep your project costs down.

There are plenty of remodeling tasks that are easily accomplished by renting tools, versus the cost of buying expensive tools or hiring someone else to do the work. Visit www.rentalhq.com to find an American Rental Association member rental store in your area.

* Refresh the ceiling. Ceilings can become dingy over time, and you might not suspect them as the culprit that's making your room feel dull. You'll notice a dramatic change if you liven it up with fresh new texture and paint. Texture sprayers are an unusual tool for most DIY warriors to own, but you can easily rent one to make the job quick and inexpensive.

Bring new life to your bath with these tips: * Replace old tile. Outdated tile is a common

* Add personality with paint. Another simple fix that can be done is adding a new paint color. It's an easy,

quick and cheap project and can totally change the look and feel of the room. Opt for one of your favorite colors or scour interior design websites and magazines to find a trendy color that gets your attention. * Change hardware. Some faucets and cabinet hardware clearly show their decade of origin. Switching out old hardware is relatively simple and a great way to make a dramatic change in the look of your room.

These projects set the stage for creating a new feel for your bathroom. Make the revived space a reality by choosing a decorating theme and accessories that complement it. Items like window treatments, throw rugs and wall art make the room feel more complete and stylish. To get your project started, visit www.rentalhq.com. (ARA)

How To Create

The Perfect Kids Room

Nurseries and playrooms on television and in magazines might have you thinking your child could use a more playful environment. Some of the more elaborate designs undoubtedly cost more time and money than you may want to spend, but don't let that discourage you. Creating a space your kids can call their own doesn't need to break the bank or require too much of your time. With a little creative thinking, you can transform any space into the perfect kid-friendly retreat.

L i f e and H o m e s

Syracuse, NY

Color the walls Children are drawn to bright colors that stimulate their creativity. And, though you don't want them taking matters into their own hands when it comes to wall art, there are other great ways to create a beautifully colorful environment.

With Dutch Boy's Crayola palette, a more fun and playful kids room is just a few paint strokes away. Featuring vibrant shades that match your kids' crayons, this palette offers an easy way to bring life into your child's hideaway. Whimsical colors like Inch Worm, Cream Soda, Little Princess and Tropical Rain Forest will instantly transform your child's room into a fun-filled, lively space.

You don't need to stick with one shade, either.

Paint an accent wall or even do custom designs or stripes. With a few hours and a little creativity, you can quickly and easily turn the kids room in your home into a magical, youthful escape.

Fun-size furniture Adult-sized furniture can leave your child feeling like Goldilocks, so bring in some pint-sized pieces to make them believe the room is specially meant just for them. Even if your budget is tight, there are plenty of options for fun-size furniture available. Kids' chairs and tables are great 16

We b r i n g p e o p l e a n d h o m e s t o g e t h e r .

additions to help them comfortably color, read books, do crafts and exercise their creativity.

And there is no need to spend a fortune. Garage sales commonly offer kids furniture, which can easily be restored. Even if a find appears worn, a fresh coat of white paint and some bright chair cushions will instantly make it good-as-new - for a fraction of the price. Let kids help choose the furniture, fabrics and color to give them the feeling the space is their own and turn the restoration into a fun project.

Dreamland bedding Making sure your little one has a cozy, restful space to sleep is important, and balancing comfort with creativity is easier and less costly than you might think. There are endless bedroom options to suit every style and age, and letting children choose bedding or a quilt cover they love can make their bedtime routine go more smoothly. Matching pillows can help create a cohesive look, and fun cushions or bright body pillows can help kids sit comfortably on the floor with a book or game.

Whether they choose polka dots, bright patterns, cartoon images or solid white, a new design that's all their own will make bed and naptime something they may actually look forward to.

Don't worry about matching the bedding to other decoration in the room - dreams are fun and unpredictable, so let your child's preference lead the way.

Storage Crayons, and teddy bears, and games, oh my!

Storing all of your child's precious belongings can be challenging, especially if the room is small. To avoid the "warzone" look, invest in a few storage options that will improve the look of your child's room while teaching him to clean up after himself. Closed cabinets and clear tubs are great for storing stuffed animals, craft items and action figures, while open bookshelves work well for books, games and puzzles. Open cubby systems are also a good way to teach young children organization skills while keeping their favorite toys easily accessible. Color-coded bins can help keep kids rooms bright and youthful while keeping their things off of the floor.

With a little time and minimal cost, you can help transform your child's room into the perfect place to learn, dream and play for years to come.
