Home design and construction often struggles to combine old and new — detailed Colonial trim and sleek stainless steel, the patina of real wood and the convenience of synthetic laminates.

They're not just coverups, and not just for grandma's sofa anymore

For fear of walking away with a heat rash and a faint chemical perfume, children of the '70s recoiled on contact with the vinyl slipcover that shrouded grandma's sacred couch, thus protecting the living room showpiece from all eyes, limbs and any real living.

I have a few roses in my garden that look funny, with reddish-colored stems and many more thorns than normal. This started happening last year. I fertilized the roses once this year so far. Do you think that I have applied too much fertilizer or not enough?

You may glance up at the roof once in a while but it's not part of the house that grabs attention— until there's a leak. An inspection can catch problems before that happens, and also help you choose the right time to reroof.
