New technology allows woodgrain patterns to be applied to glass and then used in places like bathrooms, where using wood was not an option before because of the humidity. This makes bathroom cabinets, such as the double sink cabinet in this picture, look more like wood furniture.

YOU LOVE YOUR SCREEN PORCH

BUTâ&#x20AC;Ś

YOU HATE YOUR SCREEN PORCH So you have this love hate relationship with your screen porch. You love the outdoor sights, sounds and smells, but you hate the mess. In the spring and summer, your furniture and carpet get wet and dirty. The wind blows the newspaper out of your hands. In the fall and winter its cold out there where you love to be and you have to shovel the snow out and cover the furniture or haul it to the attic. Or you get the plastic and staple gun out and build a temporary barrier. Maybe you have Plexiglas that you put up. Either way, if there is a nice day youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re stuck, because either way you have to wait until spring to take it all down again.

Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be great if you could make better use of that space? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great, relaxing place to hang out, that is as long as the temperature is perfect, the wind isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blowing too hard and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not raining or snowing.
