2005 Georgia Idea House: National Sponsors

Parkview (House Plan # 1130)

Messes are a part of life. Soak 'em up with the best paper towel. They're softer, tougher and absorb more than any other. Soak up life. VIVA™

The next best thing to washcloth clean. Find 'em in the facial tissue aisle. Thank goodness for Kleenex™.

The windows help keep energy costs down too. For more information call 1-800-71-PELLA, or visit www.pella.com.
