Also online at PaloAltoOnline.com An “urban, edgy” family room, left, was designed by Heidi Menard of Ambiance Interiors, Palo Alto. Fun elements in the entertainment-focused room include a Plexiglas ceiling fan, ceramic moose head and pinball machines. Below, Blair Morgan (of Morgan Design Group, Menlo Park) created a dining room “with a party gone wrong” theme. A focal point is the chandelier custom-made of broken china. The tablecloth is woven rafia over polyester.

Decorator Show House 2013 offers ideas, resources, fun

ew Traditionalism” is what San Francisco designer Warren Sheets calls his active mixing of old and new in the living room of Peninsula Volunteers Decorator Show House 2013, the first show house on the Peninsula in about 10 years. The 11,000-square-foot Woodside estate, designed in 1938 and situated on 21 acres, is a perfect backdrop for 20 designers to showcase their talents and tastes, and for visitors to see firsthand how interior-design trends are playing out. “We wanted to honor the traditional elements of the house but also march forward,” Sheets said. He pointed to several examples: a classic console table juxtaposed with a modern writing desk; a pair of fauteuil chairs (popular in 18th-century France) with a more contemporary black-lacquer finish; a glass coffee-table top with antique bronze trim. And then there’s the piece of driftwood, half-finished in 18K gold leaf. The designers were not required to confer with each other, or to create continuity in their presentations. Rather, each took on the challenge of maximizing what could be done with each specific space. The family/entertainment room, for example, is sited in what is not technically the basement (the home is on a hillside) but lacks much natural light and has ceilings just under 8 feet tall. What Heidi Menard and Celeste Randolph, of Ambiance Interiors, Palo Alto, created was an “urban edgy” room with “masculine appeal,” Menard said.

First they covered the seismically unsafe fireplace with antiqued mirrors, knowing that the reflective surface would enhance what little natural light they had. Then they added two decorative cross beams to the structural beams to create “more coffered detail,” she said. Metallic trees were placed on either side of the mirrored space, with a white ceramic moose-head sculpture drawing one’s eye. A pair of pinball machines help obscure the side profile of the former fireplace. The ceiling fan, a necessity during heat waves, is made of clear Plexiglas with the blades turned sideways. Ceiling fans “are so notorious for being ugly,” Menard said, that she was determined to find one that was more interesting and that could hug the low ceiling. Menard noted that the dark palette, reflected in the papered wall paneling and the deeply pigmented 7-inch planked flooring, “adds drama and intimacy.” “It’s really the antithesis of the rest of the home,” Randolph said, and creates what is “truly a retreat,” Menard added. Rise Krag (of RKI Interior Design, San Carlos) was challenged to create something out of what was actually just a hallway and a closet. She turned the hallway into an art gallery, offering ways to showcase textiles (which she collected on a trip to Southeast Asia and Bali last

room chandelier, which was custommade from broken blue-and-white china. January Reclosado, of the Morgan Design Group, Menlo Park, noted that the chevron-patterned horsehair rug was also custom made for the space. One reason people visit decorator show houses is to see what materials actually look like up close. In Brooke Grafstrom’s butler’s pantry, they can see what a custommade copper counter top looks like. Grafstrom, of By the Bay Design, Menlo Park, says copper isn’t for everyone. Enjoying the look depends to a certain extent on one’s tolerance for the changing patina, what she calls a “living finish.” “You have to be able to live with how it evolves,” she said, adding that “Each little mark has a story.”

Other touches in the pantry include using fabric-covered hat boxes to store china on open shelves and a tile backsplash in a bottle pattern by New Ravenna, which picks up the colors of the copper counter, the Conrad woven shades and blues in the displayed dishes. In addition to coming away with ideas and possible contacts and resources for a future design project, visitors may shop at the boutique (located in the kitchen, which was not decorated for the show house). There Peninsula Volunteers members will be offering everything from notepaper, soaps and olive oil to jams and jellies with the estate’s private label. Proceeds from the show house will benefit Peninsula Volunteers, which supports Meals on Wheels, Little House and Rosener House Adult Day Services, among others.

Home & Real Estate HOME SALES

Real Estate Matters Selecting the right agent is key to success by Michael Repka

echnology has really changed real estate. Back in the day, agents had phonebook-sized Multiple-Listing-Service (MLS) publications that provided the current status of homes on the market. Once they identified a particular property, they were left to find the location in a book of maps. Information was more cumbersome and agents that knew a particular area well thrived. As a result, there were more agents that were specialized and their clients benefited from their expertise. The Internet, dashboard GPS and satellite images make it easier for agents to pull information about different types of properties and cover a more vast geographic area: This is not necessarily a good thing. Nowadays, an agent may show a condo in San Jose in the morning and then an estate in Hillsborough after lunch. A tear-down on Monday and a partially completed new construction on Tuesday. Unfortunately, a quick review of a condo complex’s website will

not provide much insight into the demeanor of the condo board members or the traffic conditions during rush hour. Similarly, an agent showing his or her first $8-million property may not be well versed in high-end building elements or the waitlist at the best private schools or country clubs. Off-MLS properties: As clients navigate the current seller’s market, with its pronounced shortage of homes for sale, many seek opportunities to buy homes not published on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Some of these homes are “off-market” because the lastminute gussying up and staging is not completed yet and others will never come to the market because of the sellers’ desire for privacy or a uniquely structured sale. Either way, off-market sales have become

a growing, albeit controversial, portion of overall sales. One of the biggest challenges that face agents who cover a wide breadth of markets is the lack of “insiders’” knowledge about the properties not currently listed on the MLS. While a well-connected Palo Alto agent likely knows of more than 20 homes that are not yet on the market in the Palo Alto/Los Altos Hills area, they may not know of any in San Jose. Conversely, an agent who focuses on San Jose is unlikely to know of properties in and around Palo Alto. Selecting an agent: The first step in selecting the right buyer’s agent may be introspective. Giving some thought to one’s individual needs and desires may help with the identification of the right agent. For example, a couple who has already narrowed its search to Los Altos Hills or Palo Alto hills and wants to keep the kids in Palo Alto schools may be far better served by an agent who specializes in hills due to these properties’ unique legal issues, construction elements and the local amenities available to local residents. Conversely, an older couple with property tax and estate-planning concerns may find more satisfaction with an agent familiar with those types of issues. Unfortunately, many agents consider themselves to be an “expert” in just about every type of sale.

Interestingly, the newer the agent, the more likely this observation holds true. Thus, a better approach may include a review of perspective agent’s websites and marketing materials, which will often give an accurate account of any real specialty. Types of specialists: Generally, experienced agents focus on either a particular geographical location (e.g., Palo Alto) or a type of sale (e.g., investment properties, condos, estates in the hills or new construction). The third option is that they may focus on a particular type of buyer (e.g., retiring couple or first-time buyers). There is nothing wrong with working with different agents in different areas, although it is best to be up front with each of the agents about what area is within their search area. There are enough facets to each type of sale and each area to make specialization desirable. At a minimum, buyers may want to inquire about the number of similar transactions that the potential buyer’s agent has completed in the past.
