"Lighter ex-terior colors often make a home appear larger. Too, they may lower summer cooling costs, since light colors reflect . the sun's rays. "From the standpoint of decorating flexibility, a light exterior, such as a harvest gold vinyl siding, allows you endless possi-bilities for accent colors,„ With a darker exteriorr you're usually limited to White, beige, or other neu-tral shades for shutters, doors, and trim. Over a period of time, that can become* *visually boring," • House cleaning may not be fun, but you can get thiough it faster keeping a few basic ideas in mind: • Concentrate on doing one job at a time. Set aside • one morning for doing the laundry, another for vac-Arnining and floor washing, a third for dusting and "smudge" work.. • Certain spray clean-ing ,chores that require little or no m g of ob- jects can be •= .e all at once — and wi 4 new Glass*Plusnd glass, appli-ance, and cabinet cleaner.

You can mare from room to room, spray cleaner and clean cloth in hand. • Organize your clean-ing aids—store floor clean-ers with mops, furniture dust and polish aids with feather dusters and pol-ishing cloth, etc. Keep dup-licate sets on each floor of your home, or carry them conveniently in a caddy. Large jobs, like major room overhauls, should be -done individually. Plan to do just one or two rooms a day, so you can give them a careful, thorough clean-ing. .• Practice the reward system. When the job's, done, enjoy, yourself , . lunch with friends, spend the afternoon reading a good book, or just put your , feet up and relax! Q.

They are available with plain or textured surfaCes; too, and offer 25 year manufactur-, er's guarantees. As to the color of roofing-to select, Miss Ritchie ad-vites homeowners to choose with Care. "Today's asphalt roofing comes in such a wide range of col-ors that it's often difficult to decide which one looks best. Before you select, rokkg, sure that you con-sider future decorating plans." For example, you may be planning to install no-maintenance vinyl siding next year. Or you may be considering repainting your home. In ank case, it helps to know beforehand what color the exterior is going to be, or at least what color range you're thinking about.
