Special To The Washington Post

The hearth of the home, a fi re-place draws people in with its cozy crackle and warmth. What’s often overlooked is how it also draws the eye. It is frequently centered on a wall and is the object around which a room is oriented. This ready-

made focal point is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to put your personality and style on view, via family photos, trea-sured objects or seasonal blooms.

That’s why Michelle Miller, an interior designer in Baltimore, likes to keep

permanent accents simple — the better to showcase rotating displays. She recom-mends building a look around a refi ned mirror, a great piece of art or even a sculptural log holder. “Find one great piece as opposed to 20 great pieces,” she says. Then, when you add decorations, she says to keep them asymmetrically displayed, because the fi replace is already the symmetrical focus of the room.

Though a decorator’s dream, fi replaces are primarily functional, and for that reason, we also asked Miles Elliot, the product manager for wood-burning products at Plow & Hearth in Madison, Virginia, what every serious fi re builder needs in his or her tool kit.

Miller recommends a simple rectangu- ■

lar mirror over a mantel “for a refi ned statement.” Lauren Shields, a prop stylist

and crafter out of New York, likes to use the mantel to tell a story. Shields likes an antiqued fi nish on her mirrors, for a sense of history. Get the best of both with the Reyner Antiqued Gold Wall Mirror ($462, www.lampsplus.com).

One way to add an element of visually ■

stimulating asymmetry, Miller says, is to install one sconce above a mantel, such as the Circa 1920 Spanish Torch Sconce, with artwork to the side ($195, www.restorationhardware.com).

The fi replace is a central gathering ■

place for family and guests, after all, so if you want to splurge, go for the Glen Screen, made of fi ne mesh and gold-leaf covered metal ($810, www.blisshome anddesign.com). “I think you should make investments in things you really love,” Miller says.

Aim for a fi replacethat crackles with style

Your roses will forgive your lateness Q: I think this is the time to

prune my roses. Should I prune my knockout roses, too?

A: Valentine’s Day is the target date for pruning roses; even

the knockout types and drift roses.

It is OK if you are a little late; they will forgive you. Remove any twigs and stems that are dead, diseased, injured or spindly. Then

bring the height of the main stems down by at least a third. This hard pruning improves the shape of the shrub and improves air circulation and light penetra-tion into the plant. Beautiful rose fl owers will follow in eight to nine weeks. The next time your roses will need a good pruning will be around Labor Day. Call the Marion County Master Gardeners at 671-8400 for more information about growing roses.

■ ■ ■

Q: I am ready for my lawn to green up? Is this the right

time to use weed and feed?

A: It is normal in February for our grass to look dull green

Q: Please help me decide on a new kitchen sink.

I really like the farm-house-style kitchen sinks, but I don’t want to spend extra money just for good looks. Are there any practical advantages as well with a farmhouse kitchen sink over a standard kitchen sink?

— Abby, Ohio

A: Farmhouse-style (or apron-front) kitchen

sinks date way back to when plumbing was young. I bring this point up because they were originally designed as heavy-duty work sinks. So, don’t let the classic good looks fool you. Like the name says, farmhouse sinks can easily handle all your kitchen chores

until the cows come home.

Because the apron-front design creates a large bowl, farmhouse sinks

usually can fi t oversized cookware like cookie sheets as well. Speaking of bowl design, the traditional farmhouse design is with a deep, single bowl, but double-bowl types are available. Farmhouse sinks also can be ergonomically friendly to work with since the bowls are positioned farther forward than standard drop-in kitchen sinks.

Now that you know the work advantages with this type of sink, let’s get into design. Farmhouse sinks come in a wide selection of materials, textures and colors, so trying to pick just one out may be the hardest work you’ll do with your new kitchen sink.

One of the keys to apron-front sinks’ popularity is their combination of beauty and functionality.

and, in some cases, even brown. It also is normal to long for warm days and green grass. Late Febru-ary is an appropriate time to control weeds with a pre-emergent herbicide. But February and early March are not the months to put down a nitrogen fertilizer in North Central Florida. In the late winter, our grass is not actively growing, and it doesn’t have deep roots to absorb the nitrogen. For this reason, UF/IFAS doesn’t recommend the use of nitrogen until April. If you are having trouble with

weeds, you can use a selective herbicide that is safe for your type of grass, and then in April choose a fertilizer with an analysis like 15-0-15. For more information on weed control and fertiliz-ing your turf, visit the UF/

IFAS website at www.solutionsforyourlife.com.

Q: I purchased a few beautiful potted

geraniums. Can I plant them in the landscape?

A: Geraniums are so brightly colored and

attractive, it is hard to resist buying them. They look great in containers by themselves or mixed with other plants.

In Florida, they are not easy to grow in the landscape. They cannot go through freezing temperatures, and they will not tolerate our summer heat and humid-ity. They perform best during the spring and the fall. You can grow them as a short-lived annual from March to May and from October to December in North Central Florida. Geraniums grow best in full sun, but will tolerate partial shade. Remove old fl owers to keep new ones coming. Geraniums prefer well-drained soils. Work a 3- to 4-inch layer of organic matter such as compost or peat moss into the soil when planting in a landscape bed. It is better to grow them in contain-ers or hanging baskets where you can control the temperature, humidity and the amount of irrigation they get. Use slow-release fertilizer to keep them thriving for the time you do have to enjoy their blooms.

Geraniums grow well in pots and planters with adequate drainage. Mulch will help retain moisture and prevent weed growth.

www.OMCAR.com

A recent study released by the Service Contract Industry Council (SCIC) has found that homes coveredby a protection plan sell faster and for more money than those without one. According to SCIC’s mostrecent look at home sale prices nationally, homes sold with a protection plan spend, on average, 11fewer days on the market. SCIC’s findings also show that homes on average sold for about $2,300more when covered by a plan. The ability to transfer a home warranty to new owners also helps createadded incentives for buyers. Because home warranties can be transferred to the new owner, buyersare finding that the extra protection of a service contract can ease this apprehension. Home buyersunderstand that when it’s time to sell in the future, the home will have an increased resale value.With housing sales increasing amid the economic rebounds, home warranties make sense to helpincrease the home’s marketability. National housing markets are indeed showing signs of strengthand stability. This suggests a more robust national housing market in which the “dramatic shortages”of 2013 are being replaced by moderate home price gains and increasing inventories. Whatever thecase, warranties give sellers a competitive edge. They also give buyers the peace of mind that theeveryday breakdowns on smaller electrical appliances, such as refrigerators or microwaves, that comefrom defects or everyday wear and tear will be covered. These contracts help homeowners avoidunexpected, potentially large repair and service bills to things like duct work, plumbing, or the HVACsystem. If you are thinking about selling or buying a home, don’t forget a Home Warranty.

Q: My family had South-ern Plate Glass in

Ocala for years. I was hoping you could help me

identify something I found in our warehouse before it was demolished. I do not remember seeing it used in the glass trade, but years

ago I know they did fl oor covering and Venetian blinds. There was a whole bucket full of them, but all of the old-time employees and my dad have passed, and no one I know has a clue.

— S., Internet

A: I suspect many of our readers remember

your family business as I do. Perhaps someone will be able to identify the item in the photograph.

■ ■ ■

Q: Many years ago a friend gave me these

two 5½ inch high by 2 inch ivory statues. I do not know anything about them. What is your opinion?

— T.R.R, Internet

A: In the category of carved ivory fi gural

pieces, the two you have

are considered common by serious collectors. Poten-tial dollar value is less than

$100 each. ■ ■ ■

Q: I have two ship’s lanterns, the larger one

has the words “red light” on the metal plaque. The information is written in English and Japanese. The light also says “Made in Tokyo.” The light works. It is made of copper and brass, and the glass is more than ½ inch thick.

The second lamp has a dual light, each working either separately or together, with the same

basic design as the larger lamp for the base. These were bought at an auction, so I am not sure of the history. Any information you can give me as to the value, age or where I can get it appraised and, possibly, where I can sell them will be appreciated.

— J.R.C., Internet

A: I think you have ship directional lanterns.

They appear to be convert-ed to electrical lamps, which will likely affect the potential dollar value. Marine and nautical antiques are quite collect-ible. Since you are inter-

ested in selling them, it would be best to contact a specialist. Marti-facts Inc. is located in Jacksonville. The website is

www.maritfacts.com. Good luck.

FIREPLACE: It’s a central gathering place

If you make fi res often, ■

Elliot recommends a fi replace screen with doors, such as Pottery Barn’s Classic Fireplace Single Screen ($199, www.potterybarn.com). “You don’t want to have to move that screen every time you light the fi re, throw wood on it or use your bellows,” he says.

“I love the simplicity of ■

letting the fi replace be the only focal point,” Miller says. An unobtrusive, clear glass log holder, such as Wisteria’s Modern Firewood Holder, helps keep the fi re the center of attention ($179, www.wisteria.com).

For a more rustic look, ■

there’s the Ozarks Caddy, made of reclaimed yarn boxes from textile mills.

In the summer months, it can be rolled on its casters and used for storage elsewhere in the house ($99, www.wisteria.com).

“It’s nice to have a wood ■

carrier, particularly if your wood pile is in your back yard,” Elliot says.

Carry your logs and store them, too, with Rejuvena-tion’s Canvas & Leather Log Carrier by Steele Canvas, available in red, gray and green, and the steel Log Carrier Bag Rack by Enclume ($125 and $139, www. rejuvena-tion.com).

Hold everything you ■

need for an active fi re-place with the Enclume Hammered Steel Log Rack With Tools ($329, www.frontgate.com).

Practical and pretty, ■

iron Fireplace Andirons with a brushed silver fi nish from West Elm keep logs from rolling out of the hearth ($79, www.westelm.com). “You want to fi nd a nice balance between what’s practical and what’s going to be good-looking, too,” Elliot says.

Tribune News Service

Q: The president of my homeowners associa-

tion is having weep holes drilled in our structure right at the brick ledge area of the slab.

I am worried about insects/termites getting in.

Should we put hemp or cotton rope in the holes?

A: Weep holes are designed to be

installed as the fi rst few rows of masonry (in your case, bricks) are installed. The purpose is to provide drain openings to release any water that becomes trapped between the backside of the masonry and the exterior wall of the structure. This is referred to as the “drain-age plane.”

In order for the weep holes to work as designed, there needs to be a row of L-shaped fl ashing material

attached to the structure’s wall with the bottom edge of the “L” inserted into the mortar joint of the masonry. The fl ashing should be inserted in the mortar joint just below the weep holes. When water enters the masonry and runs down the drainage plane, it is trapped by the fl ashing and forced out through the weep holes.

Drilling holes without the fl ashing materials

may help, but most likely will not. As you suggest-ed, small sections of a cotton rope or similar material inserted into the weep holes can be used to help prevent pest entry.

Weep holes, wicks and vents should not be under the soils next to the foundation or under landscaping materials used in decorations. Plants and shrubs should not affect how the weep holes function. Weep holes are not associated with termite infestation.
