lowing creative tips for practical,yet beautiful, ways to increasestorage potential throughout yourhome.First impressions are lasting ones,
so if totes and umbrellas, shoesand boots are cluttering theentrance of your home, make themdisappear without becoming inac-cessible. Consider a bench withadded storage space under a lift-up seat as a convenient cluttercatcher, complete with niches forstashing caps, gloves and scarvesyet a handy spot for shoe-bootexchanges. Splurge on a wall-mounted hardwood cabinet or ahandsome hardwood storage pieceto hide keys, garage door openers,newspapers and mail, keepingthem out of sight yet close at hand
as needed.Don't let the idea of a formal liv-
ing room dissuade you from mak-ing it a storage workhorse. A cof-fee table with an open shelf orshallow drawers can be more thanan elegant surface for coffee serv-ice or a floral arrangement.Corners and wall space betweenand around windows cry out forhardwood chests and unique built-ins to display collectibles or stashcoasters, cocktail napkins andother entertaining essentials. Andthe warm colors and unique grainpatterns of hardwoods are guaran-teed to enhance your room decor.
Add greater functionality to yourkitchen by incorporating hard-wood cabinets with accessoriesthat remove clutter and make
neatness second nature - woodendividers to organize drawers,carousel shelving so nothing getsburied in corner cabinets, deepcabinet drawers to store cookwareor stacked dinnerware. And becreative. Fill unused spacebetween base cabinets withretractable kitchen-towel bars ornarrow pull-out spice drawers.Even install a shallow tilt-outdrawer in front of your sink forsponges or small-scale cleaningtools.
Today's dining rooms double aslibraries, music rooms or places todo homework or crafts. If crampedfor storage, look for a dining table- new or heirloom - with drawersbeneath its top surface. Beautiful

hardwood storage - a hutch, side-board or breakfront - lends practi-cality; warmth and style as long asit complements the look of yourdining table and chairs. A wall ofbooks, whether in fine hardwoodfurniture or built-in shelving,exploits wall space and adds char-acter.
Hardwood cabinet optionsabound as you look to increase thefunctionality of your family room.Near the TV, stereo or beside thekids' play area, consider freestand-ing hardwood storage - a hutch,entertainment center, a clutch ofbookcases. And utilize overlookedspaces by adding a low cupboardunder a window - ideal for sparepillows and throws; building awindow seat - either with drawersor a hinged top; placing a lowbookcase against the back of asofa. Simply organize and storeessentials according to whereyou'll use them.Why not establish a unique "float-
ing" home office? It doesn't matterwhere you place it. What'll make itwork is where you "float" it andhow you store what you want tokeep there. Find and refinish ahardwood secretary, then give itwheels and let it "float." It'll behandy for bill-paying when thedesk folds down and a decorativeaccent piece when not in use. Ormobilize a stylish hardwood deskor table with detachable storageshelves; then get to work. As roomrequirements change, "float" the
workstation to its new home - akitchen corner or family roomniche - whatever the situation willallow.
And finally, end those bedroomblahs by eliminating clutter.Hardwood dressers with deepdrawers increase storage efficien-cy. Nightstands with niches orshallow drawers are great forglasses, remote controls and read-ing material. Open shelving withpull-out baskets can store socks,hose, scarves and undergarments.And consider adding a windowseat to store extra quilts andlinens. True, only you may see the
room, but an uncluttered bedroom- yours or your kids' - is the mostlivable one.
As author Kaufman suggests,"Even the most practical storagesolutions can be attractive andappealing." Beautifully thought-out cabinetry made of U.S. hard-woods will enhance every room inyour home while providing stun-ning storage space for all theimportant 'things' in your life.
For more information on includ-ing U.S. hardwoods in your homeor office, visit the AmericanHardwood Information Center atwww.HardwoodInfo.com.
Photographer Alexandra Rowley captures the curves andtapers of the hardwood cabinetry in this Arts and Craftskitchen designed for storage and style in FilipacchiPublishing's book "Store It!"
A new spin on decorating with sports memorabilia(ARA) - The roar of the crowd,
the thrill of a last-second victory -few things in life can evoke theexcitement of a good sports com-petition. Passionately supportingthe hometown team or proclaim-ing love for a favorite sport is anincreasingly important activity inAmerican culture.
Sports fans have grown to repre-sent roughly 219 millionAmericans aged 12 and older,according to a recent ESPNresearch and analytics study. Forthese sports enthusiasts, the homeis an ideal place to display their
spirit and team pride."Whether sports are a time-hon-
ored tradition or a new family pas-sion, there are always moments toremember and stories waiting tobe told," says Erinn Valencich, anationally recognized celebrityinterior designer who has beenfeatured on HGTV and in severalpublications, such as "GoodHousekeeping" and "HouseBeautiful." "Sports-themed walldecor is a great way to showcaseteam spirit and can serve as a fas-cinating conversation starter forguests."
Valencich says the first step toshowcasing sports and schoolmemorabilia in the home is tochoose items that have personalmeaning. "When deciding what todisplay, remember that the itemsshould tell a story about your per-sonal interests or experiences,such as a game you attended or amoment you'll always remember,"she says.
Valencich offers these additionaltips for creating eye-catching andmeaningful sports-themed walldisplays.

Get creative with color
"First, work with your local cus-tom framer, who will ensurepieces are framed to the highestquality," Valencich suggests."Request matboard that matchesthe team's colors to immediatelycall the team to mind. The
Crescent Select Impact Colorsmatboard line is ideal for this, as itfeatures exact color matches forevery college and professionalsports team."
Mix sizes, shapes and materials
"When framing sports pictures,choose different shapes, texturesand auxiliary elements in order tocreate a memorable gallery wallthat can become a tribute to afavorite team," says Valencich. "Irecommend choosing two to threeprimary pieces to be the focalpoint of the wall grouping andsupplement them by also framingpennants, jerseys, trading cards,game programs and other mean-ingful memorabilia for a uniquedesign. It's the mix of sizes, shapesand pieces that really make a col-lection sing!"
Capture a personal sports experience
Valencich also suggests turning apicture of a sports fan's favoriteplayer, team or stadium into a
unique gift. She recommendsincorporating several memorablepieces into a single custom-framedpiece, such as a photo of the fami-ly from a game combined with aticket stub or program. "By per-sonalizing with a photo, framedsports memorabilia can become aconversation piece that chroniclesa special sporting event your fami-ly attended," she adds.Professional custom framers canbring individual pieces of memo-rabilia together in a high-quality,cohesive piece.
Find the perfect place for a sports display
Valencich believes that sportsmemorabilia makes a much biggerstatement when grouped togetherin one area. "When displayingsports pictures and memorabilia,choose a room that is the mostpersonal to the family's sportsenthusiast, such as a children'sbedroom, an office, den or enter-tainment room," suggestsValencich.

City chic: Incorporate city style into your Main Street home(ARA) - When you look out your
window, what do you see: the coolgray steel of high-rise buildings ...or vast, open expanses of greenland? You don't have to stick to aninterior style that mimics yoursurroundings; especially if it does-n't suit your taste.
Whether you live in a penthouseor a farmhouse, you can createrooms that make you feel as ifyou're a city-dweller as soon asyou step inside.
Open floor plan
The first step to thinking like anurbanite is coming up with cre-ative ways to make small spacesappear larger. An open floor planis a great way to achieve this. Takea look at your main living areas todetermine where improvementscan take place.
Is there a room that is beingunder-utilized? Consider remov-ing a dividing wall to connect itwith the adjoining space. Do youhave narrow doorways betweenrooms? Expand these openingsand remove doors, creating widerpassageways. Is there untouchedwall space? Take a cue from newglass-exterior loft spaces, likeWerner Aisslinger's LoftCube, andadd more windows on exteriorwalls, or even create window-likeopenings between rooms to joinspaces and create a sense of com-munity.
"Contemporary urban design isall about connectivity," says JudyRiley, vice president of design atMoen Incorporated. "In today'smodern home, we want to connectwith our family, our surroundingsand the outside world. To achievethis, we are knocking down wallsand breaking the barriers built byearlier generations."
If you don't have the time - orbudget - for more construction-intense projects, there are stepsyou can take to create the illusionof larger rooms. Choose smallerfurniture and position it in a waythat leaves as much floor spaceopen as possible. Forgo large,heavy curtains and go for moreairy fabrics or light-emittingshades to create a sense of illumi-
nation and openness. Chooselighter colors in a similar palettefor your furniture, walls andfloors.
Modern elements
To take your place from drearyand dated to city chic, incorporatecontemporary elements into yourdecor. Start by adding some stand-out modern pieces in each room,then build your home's lookaround those unique items.
The kitchen and the bathroomare arguably the two most-usedrooms in the house, seen by familymembers and guests alike. Letfashion and function go hand-in-hand with well-placed moderndecor that serves a purpose inyour home.In the kitchen, the sink is the hub
of all activity, used for everythingfrom prepping dinner to fillingyour morning coffee pot or waterbottle. To make a statement atyour sink, add a faucet with geo-metric styling, like the 90-degreepullout kitchen faucet from Moen.With clean, contemporary styling,this single-handle faucet featuresan ergonomically designed pulloutwand with multiple spray options,including stream, rinse and pause.The 90-degree pullout kitchenfaucet is available in LifeShineClassic Stainless and Chrome fin-ishes, to coordinate with contem-porary kitchen fixtures and appli-ances. Because of its clean, single-handle design, the faucet pairswell with solid surface counter-tops and undermount sink styles.
In large living spaces, re-think
traditional furniture and give it amodern twist. Instead of theeveryday lumpy, space-hoggingrecliner, try a contemporarylounge chair. Rather than massiveentertainment centers and book-shelves, try a hanging storage cen-ter that adds color and light toyour room without taking up pre-cious floor space. Or, try book-shelves that are built into the wall- housed between studs or simplyon wall-mounted shelving unitsthat allow for use of the floorspace beneath.
Clean spaces
Your average city-dweller doesn'thave the time or the space to accu-mulate home-cluttering extras."The city is full of noise and disor-der," Riley says. "Modern urbanhome design calls for a separationfrom the busyness of the outsideworld."
To mimic this minimalistapproach in your own home, con-sider the number of extra gadgetsthat clutter your kitchen. Forinstance, do you really need ahandheld blender, a countertopblender, a margarita maker andsmoothie maker? When was thelast time you used your fonduepot, quesadilla maker, juicer orwaffle iron? Could you make dowithout some of these items,clearing precious countertop andcabinet space? If so, log on tofreecycle.org and give the unuseditems away to someone who mayactually use them.
Once you've removed what youdon't need, you can create the
attention and openness that yourmodern decor deserves. Treatyour home as an art gallery, wherethe spotlight is on a small numberof contemporary statement pieces,not scattered among an over-abundance of objects.
You don't have to pack up andmove to the city to evoke an urbanfeeling in your home decor. Thinkopen, modern and sleek, and youcan create a metropolitan vibe, nomatter how far from the city youchoose to live.

Today's powder room: small space, but big design
(ARA) - The powder room - it'sone of the smallest rooms in thehouse, but also the room that typi-cally sees the most traffic, espe-cially when you're entertainingguests.
You're working with a relativelysmall space, so every styling detailcounts. Some manufacturers aremaking it even easier for home-owners to coordinate their piecesby designing complete suites.
