I've been pouring through the new edition of "Sunset Western Garden Book of Landscaping: The Complete Guide to Beautiful Paths, Patios, Plantings and More." This book is hot off the press, published just this month. It complements "Sunset's New Western Garden Book" (ninth edition, February 2012), which is about plants.

The book provides more than 600 color photographs of gardens in the western states, with ideas for home gardeners and landscape professionals. It is organized under five headings: Gardens, Structures, Plants, Finishing Touches and Planning. Each section visits numerous topics, illustrating each in pages of comments and captioned photographs. The text identifies almost all plants that are shown, and the excellent index lists them all, as well.

Each topic could motivate the reader to seek detailed information in other sources.

Editor Kathleen Norris Brenzel notes that the book is primarily about inspiration, with an underlying theme of earth-friendly, sustainable design. In a brief introduction, landscape architect William R. Marken defines sustainability as basic to the "new golden age of landscape design," which has grown out of Thomas Church's four principles:

Unity of house and garden;

Function, serving household needs;

Simplicity, considering both costs and aesthetics; and

Scale, relating the parts of the landscape.

My long-time clients, Russ and Stephanie, love green. Not the eco-friendly kind per se, but the color from sage to khaki and all shades of olive. Over the years weve painted their interiors, upholstered their furnishings, draped their windows, custom-sewn their bedding, and remodeled their bathrooms all in some variation of green.

Its a homeowner- and designer-friendly color and a natural fit for their woodsy, hillside home surrounded by trees, wild vegetation, and a cottage-style garden.

So when it came time to remodel their kitchen, I was pretty sure it would, in some part, entail this favored color. Would the cabinets be green? There are a half dozen mid-range, semi-custom cabinetry manufacturers that offer a pretty shade of sage.

Would the walls be green? By the time the cabinetry, appliances, and backsplash were installed, there would hardly be any wall left to paint. What about green Costa Esmeralda countertops? As far as granite goes, its one of the most beautiful.

Before determining where to introduce the splash of green, I considered, mulled, fidgeted, contemplated, drew and optimized the general design of the kitchen. Theirs was a galley and would remain so. Because of its small size, its configuration and function would be crucial to its performance and efficiency.

Wed replace the warped five-foot window above the sink that overlooks the garden but keep the same generous size. Old appliances would be swapped for new but stay in their same locations. And, in order to modernize and visually enlarge the narrow galley, the appliances would be covered with panels matching the cabinetry.

In keeping with the country setting, I chose a farm sink, bin pulls for the drawers, and updated cottage-style plumbing and light fixtures..

Through the years, I had often heard this couple say how they hated their paver-tiled kitchen floor. So as part of the demolition, I suggested that we replace the pavers with hard wood, which matched the floors in the rest of the house.

Since there were three entries into this tiny kitchen, I planned to close one off which then allowed space for a 30-inch floor-to-ceiling pantry. I next redesigned the main entry by enlarging it and shaping it into an arch to mimic the arched front door and arched foyer.

In formulating the design of this kitchen, I kept a few things in mind: Although sunny, it was still a small space. It was a working environment that fed two adults, two children, two cats, one dog and one bunny. And, the changes to be made would virtually be permanent.

Many women simply keep their hair-styling accessories scattered across bathroom countertops or tucked away inside drawers. Not the ideal way to keep everything organized. That is why two inventors from Glendora, Calif., created a prototype for the CLIP ON PONY TAIL STAND.

The accessory keeps hair-styling accessories organized. The unit ensures that any item the individual needs is readily accessible. This saves time, effort and energy searching for hair accessories. The device keeps countertops neat and tidy, and it also eliminates the hassle of searching through drawers and make-up bags. In addition, the invention is ideal for use by cheerleaders as a simplified way to store and organizer their hair accessories.

The inventors' personal experience inspired their idea. "I wear clip-on and draw-string ponytails, as well as other hair-styling accessories," one inventor said. "I needed a better way to store and organize them all. We put our heads together and developed this easy-to-use organizer."

The original design was submitted to the Los Angeles office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers. For more information, write Dept. 12-LAX-431, InventHelp, 217 Ninth Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or call (412) 288-1300 ext. 1368.

TOWNSEND -- Police Chief Erving Marshall made requests to the Capital Planning Committee for several fiscal 2015 projects Feb. 6, including carpet replacement, computer upgrades and the possibility of solar panel installation.

The committee has $200,000 to dedicate to the town's capital projects for next year.

Marshall asked for $32,000 to replace the police station's carpeting, which is 23 years old.

Committee member Carolyn Smart recommended funding the carpet with anything that is left over in the department's operating budget at the end of the fiscal year, but Marshall said there simply wouldn't be enough money left.

"The last few years, I've been borrowing from Peter to pay Paul," Marshall said.

"I agree with you that'd be a great way to fund it if I have the money, but I don't think it's going to be there," he added.

Marshall also requested $15,000 a year for the next three years to upgrade the department's computers.

The request included upgrading the computers, servers, monitors, tape drives, copiers and laptops scheduled for replacement in fiscal 2015 and 2016, Marshall said.

Marshall said the solar panel installation is not his highest priority, but was included in his requests because of the potential cost savings it could bring to the town.

An estimate he received several years ago put the cost of the solar system at $393,000 with a possibility of getting $250,000 in grants to put toward it. However, he said that a new quote would be necessary to be sure of the cost and the savings.
