A Rachman design

Celebrity Interior Designer Jonathan Rachman:

Home Decorating Tips For 2021 BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

For most, home renovation wasn’t on the 2020 vision board, but after half a year of shelter in place, we realize our personal space and professional needs must merge. As one of the Bay Area’s top interior innovators Jonathan Rachman, celebrity interior designer, has been helping clients reconfigure, redecorate and reorganize their homes to accommodate all the roles (from office to day care to gym) a modern living space now plays.

ome of the design modifications Rachman has seen in the field this year include: • Practicality and expansion for home office space. Before the pandemic, most people didn’t have the need to dedicate a room for an office but now look to transform guest rooms into offices or have offices seamlessly mesh into living spaces. • Open kitchens becoming the “central command” of homes • Sunroom extensions to integrate the outdoors • Mudrooms no longer serve as formal entries, but as post-outdoor “decontamination” areas. Rachman never received formal education in interior design but rather trained in fashion and hospitality management in Switzerland. These

two elements carried over to his design style and as a self-proclaimed romantic, he passionately believes that good design much like happiness, comes from within and should always tell a story. He also believes that every color, as well as hue and temperature have the power to affect us mentally and emotionally. Most people have been conditioned from early on either culturally or geographically to be influenced by how we perceive various colors. Now more than ever, as most are in quarantine, mental health has become a primordial part of his design process. Rachman attributes his aesthetic to be a combination of East and West, he is not one to follow trends but is wise to respect those before him. Hubert de Givenchy, Monsieur

4A | ANTON’S REAL ESTATE GUIDE • MARCH 24 - 30, 2021

Dior are the two legends that always inspire him: classic and iconic. As an avid traveler, Rachman has explored most corners of the world and his gorgeous interiors have graced the covers of many stylish magazines such as Elle Décor, Modern Luxury Interiors California, California Home + Design, Haven and KDHamptons to name a few. He caught his big break when he ventured to start his own business as a florist and was discovered by Marc Jacobs. He was asked to do the arrangements for his San Francisco flagship store and via word of mouth managed to pick up high end clientele, one of them being The Four Seasons Luxury Hotels. San Francisco-based multi-hyphened creative, event planner to the elite and owner of Jonathan Rachman Designs adds author to his repertoire with the release of his memoir, The Garlic Peanut Story. This came from a desire to pay tribute to a beloved adopted sister and was written after her passing, via Rachman’s letters of gratitude that reveal a tumultuous journey in an archipelago where persecution

Celebrity designer Jonathan Rachman of LGBTQ remains commonplace. Through The Garlic Peanut Story he expresses his gratitude for a sister whose love sustained him through a painful childhood while recollecting the pain of being born different and growing up queer in a large and dysfunctional family. He also goes on to contemplate on his travels abroad, learning to write and the discovery of gay mentors who empowered him with good counsel and kindness.

Classic, not trendy

uggling a variety of moving tasks isn’t easy. However, with the right organizational know-how, it can be done. While not all of us (read: most of us) are born with a pro organizer mindset, it doesn’t mean we can’t achieve an organized move. With the help of today’s moving tools, it’s easier than ever to put together a coordinated relocation. Download helpful moving apps Harness the power of technology to make your upcoming move an easier, smoother experience. Here are six helpful moving apps to assist with all of your moving needs. Realtor.com—This real estate app helps users find homes, apartment rentals and open house listings directly from the MLS.

Create a moving binder Creating a master moving binder is one of the strategies for staying organized during a move. Not only do moving binders make it easy to keep track of all moving contracts and receipts, but they also help consolidate all tasks into one easy-tofind place. Items that can be stored inside of a moving binder include: moving checklists, moving receipts, utility company phone numbers, list of donations, donation receipts,

Nine Tips For Getting Organized During A Move BY MARIAN WHITE

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

Get organized before you move. floor plans, design/decor ideas, contractor bids, medical and school records, financial documents, moving paperwork and more. Print customized checklists Moving to a new home often involves many moving parts. From dealing with moving company logistics to handling financial obligations, there are numerous details to keep track of during a busy move. Unfortunately, figuring out what you need to do and when you need to do it isn’t easy. The solution? Create a comprehensive moving checklist for your upcoming relocation. Having this list of to-dos on-hand will make it possible to manage the moving parts of your move, and do so in an organized and timely manner. Color code moving boxes Labeling your moving boxes by corresponding room? Take it one step further by color coding those labels. This will make it easier to spot your belongings on the moving truck and in your new home. Fortunately, you can find color-coded labels marked with corresponding rooms from a number of retailers including Walmart and Amazon. You can also create your own color-coded system with multicolored tape. For example, assign all boxes marked with yellow tape to the kitchen, all boxes marked with pink tape to the bedroom, etc. Plan a packing strategy Don’t just pack up your belongings

willy-nilly. Instead, come up with a room-by-room packing strategy for moving. To begin, decide which rooms and closets to tackle first. Start with the rooms containing non-essentials (in other words: items you won’t need in the weeks leading up to your move). This could include the guest bedroom/bathroom, library, storage closet, playroom, basement, attic and seasonal clothing in your closet. Rooms that should be packed up last include the kitchen and bedrooms. These rooms will most likely need to be used in the days leading up to your move. Make a list of box contents As you pack your boxes, make a list of what each box contains. This will help you to keep track of your belongings (what’s been packed and what hasn’t been packed) and will help with locating your items after the move. A popular method is to number all boxes and then write itemized lists for each corresponding numbered box. Other ways to include itemized lists include placing the lists inside of the boxes or taping the lists to the outside of the boxes. Utility companies’ contacts Need to cancel or transfer your utilities when you move? Make sure to keep all utility information organized by keeping a list of contact numbers for each monthly service provider. Utilities may include cable and internet, water and sewer, gas, electricity, satellite, security system,

trash and phone. Once contact numbers have been compiled, we recommend keeping the list inside of your moving binder. Organize donations Make a list of all furniture, clothing and other household belongings that you wish to donate before or after the move. Once the list is complete, decide where you want to donate these items. After donating your items to a charity, you should receive tax-deductible donation receipts. To avoid losing these receipts, place them inside of your moving binder, along with your itemized list of donated belongings. Local recommendations include Big Brother/ Big Sister, Lupus Foundation and Vietnam Veterans of America. Pack an essentials box Finally, don’t forget to pack your moving day essentials box or bag. Without it, your move could end up being a less than pleasant experience. We recommend first making a checklist of all moving day essentials. This way you won’t forget something important at the last minute. Essentials may include medications, toiletries, an extra set of clothes, ID and credit cards, important documents, baby necessities, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags, a tool kit, pet essentials and bottled water. —Marian White writes for Moving. com, part of the Realtor.com network

Move-in Ready Décor

Make your new home move-in ready with a fresh makeover. (MG+BW)

Advice from the professionals at Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams BY CHRISTY HINKO

t’s a new year and believe it or not, people are sticking to their script of new year, new me, new digs. A new home means a fresh, exciting chance to make some lively and fun changes to your home decorating style.

time to get help, which is what’s so great about Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ Virtual Design program as Virtual Designers are available to accommodate scheduling and customize the design experience for each person’s needs.” When you think about redecorating your home, whether it is a new home or it’s well lived-in, you need some basics. A comfortable home must have comfortable seating in the living room, dining room, bedroom or den. How do you know what’s truly essential? “While this is specific to every person or family, decorating can happen in layers,” Erno said. “The first layer should always be selecting items you spend the most with or the most time looking at such

The moving process by itself can be pretty intensive. The task of packing, moving, unpacking and setting up home is a huge undertaking. Before you unpack, visualize how you want to decorate your new home before you unpack and settle in. Decorating a blank canvas can seem a little unnerving at first, but it is a great opportunity to make it your own in a fresh new way the next time around. We caught up with Michael Erno, vice president of trade and virtual design for Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams, to ask about some of the current trends, who’s taking interior design into their own hands, who’s seeking professional design advice and overall, how to get started making your new home move-in ready. “Everyone needs move-in styling help, in some way; I think the support needed can vary,” Erno said. Bedroom furniture is essential “The biggest challenge is finding to being move-in ready. (MG+BW)

as a sofa, bed and maybe one or two pieces of art as well as something special for every space of the home. For example, bedding for the bedroom, glassware for the kitchen, vases for the dining room, etc. This way, the design process has begun for the ‘whole home.’ “Take your time with selecting pieces for spaces you haven’t yet decided on how to use,” Erno added. “If you’re not sure how you’ll live in a particular space, live in it first, then see how you would decorate it.” Making the room reflect your personality and style can be overwhelming if you have never given it much thought, or if it has been years since you have given your personal decorating preferences a little shake up and update. Where do you start? How to you find your style? Should you play it safe and buy a decor-in-a-bag, one size fits all set-up? Probably not. “You only need one thing to start with, it could be a rug you love, or the color of a fabric, then you can go into the ‘idea’ of what that would look like in

a space,” Erno said. “I’ve often heard and found it useful for people to look at their closet and see what pieces they gravitate towards for color and texture. Sometimes, it’s even helpful to start off with what you don’t like, that can often get you to what you do like and love. “I think it’s always a good idea to seek out professional interior design help as it’s something that’s often out of many people’s comfort zones and again, design help is really catered to the person’s needs whether it’s coming up with an initial plan or taking an idea you love and making it make sense for the home, there’s a lot to discover,” Erno added. “I think people have always wanted to refer to design help and possibly haven’t had access or time; design help is definitely more accessible,” Erno said. “We’ve adapted to the world of virtual and by making appointments it’s convenient to get design support that’s needed and it’s also been a way for people to connect, which we now understand the importance of more than ever.” Decorating your new home so that it mirrors your style and personality will help you fall in love with it from the very beginning.

Is Buying A Second Home On Your 2021 To-Do List? Here are some of the things you need to consider BY ANTON MEDIA STAFF

specialsections@antonmediagroup.com

wning a second home can provide retirees—or even younger families—a mountain retreat or a house at the beach for those family vacations or quick weekend getaways. But if buying a second home was on your list of New Year’s resolutions for 2021, be sure to consider all the upsides and downsides before committing, said Patrick Rush, CEO of Triad Financial Advisors. “Many retirees end up regretting it,” Rush said. “They feel they are forced to go to that second home every weekend just because they spent so much on it. A vacation property or second home can certainly provide a lot of joy, but it rarely works out financially.” That doesn’t stop people from buying them, though. The National Association of Home Builders estimates that Americans own about 7.4 million second homes, which is about 5.6 percent of the total housing stock. “People tend to purchase a second home either as a rental property or a vacation home, which they might also rent for part of the year,” Rush said. “But unless you’re in a hot real estate market, the return on investment usually isn’t worth the hassle. There are better ways of growing your money.”

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT INVESTING IN A SECOND HOME INCLUDE: Real estate doesn’t automatically mean easy money. People mistakenly believe real estate provides a guaranteed return, but that’s not always true. Rush recalled one client who, over Rush’s vehement objections, withdrew all of his retirement money to build an expensive second home. The client was certain the house would pay off, but he eventually was forced to sell it for half his investment.

every summer to Sunset Beach on the North Carolina coast. She wanted to continue that tradition for her children, her sister and her sister’s children. “It was a reminder that it’s not always about the numbers,” Rush said. “You have to weigh the return on investment against the emotional benefit. Financially, it wasn’t the best choice, but to her, it meant so much more. It was about keeping her parents’ memories alive. Some things truly matter more than money.” —Patrick Rush, the ForbesBooks author of the Amazon bestseller Gain Big and Give Back: Financial Planning with Intention, is the CEO of Triad Financial Advisors.

Forbearance Options Extended To Millions

White House issues executive order to lengthen moratorium BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

ast month, the Biden Administration announced the extension of the COVID-19 forbearance and foreclosure protections for millions of homeowners across the country. As part of the White House’s commitment to deliver immediate relief for American families bearing the brunt of this crisis, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Agriculture announced a coordinated extension and expansion of forbearance and foreclosure relief programs. These critical protections were due to expire this month, leaving many at risk of falling further into debt and losing their homes. Now, homeowners will receive urgently needed relief as we face this unprecedented national emergency. Millions of Americans face continued hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic, triggering a housing affordability crisis. Today, one-infive renters is behind on rent and more than 10 million homeowners are behind on mortgage payments.

forms of help should be sought to work their way out of the financial problems.” Suppose it’s a loss of job or reduction in income, illness or family loss, or change in family circumstances that’s impacting the finances. “In that case, it’s essential to sit down and evaluate where you are now and where you need to be financially to meet expenses,” said Tayne. “This includes budgeting and personal debt management.” “The goal is to find ways to be financially secure where your needs are met with your income,” said Tayne. “It could be that the house you’re in is too costly, and the expenses will not meet your ability to pay; with that, decisions need to be made.” Financial attorneys, accountants, credit counselors, housing counselors and nonprofits are excellent resources to take advantage of if you need additional help. Nassau County residents can visit nassaubar.org, and Suffolk County residents can visit scba.org for more information. Nassau Suffolk Law Services has many avenues for assistance financially at nslawservices.org. New York’s Department of Financial Service website has a list of nonprofit housing counseling agencies (dfs.ny.gov). Tayne is an award-winning financial attorney and author of the book, Life & Debt, has more than 20 years of experience in consumer and business financial debt solutions. Her background spans in negotiations with large international banks and credit agencies for loans, lines of credit, credit cards and student loans. Tayne is the founder and managing director of the Tayne Law Group, P.C., a law firm headquartered in New York dedicated to debt solutions and alternatives to bankruptcy for individuals and businesses (www.taynelaw). She frequently provides her expertise on financial, credit and debt topics both as a public speaker and in the media, regularly contributing to outlets like the Huffington Post, Yahoo Finance, U.S. News and World Report, MSN, CNN and NBC.

A New Breed Of Moving And Storage Opens On Long Island BY CHRISTY HINKO

chinko@antonmediagroup.com

he COVID-19 pandemic has stretched into 2021 and many Americans are spending more time than ever at home – but some are ready to find a new home altogether. So much so that New York City natives are upgrading to spacious homes on Long Island at a rate of 48 percent over last year, according to newly released reports. Americans are fleeing big cities and relocating to more suburban neighborhoods mainly due to functionality—for large yards, designated areas in their home for remote work and workouts.

WE SPOKE WITH PETER WARHURST, THE CEO OF RED ROVER AND FOUNDER OF PODS ABOUT THE CURRENT TRENDS OF MOVING AND STORAGE.

Q A

How’s business been this past year for you specifically here on Long Island? Business has been better than expected. It’s amazing but as

a startup during a pandemic, we’re actually beating our forecasts. We’re headquartered in Tampa, Florida and were planning on Long Island being our first foray into the Northeast region but not this soon. We pivoted for two reasons: • We wanted to see how well our long distance concept worked. The good news is that it has performed way beyond our wildest dreams. • We wanted to capture the high volume of people moving from the Northeast, particularly New York, to Florida. Florida is the number one state destination in the U.S. and a huge portion of that originates in New York–and Long Island is a big portion of that volume.

pretty evenly, with 53 percent being male. It is super encouraging that our concept has reached across such a diverse group of customers. I think part of it is that our trucks are brand new with all the latest safety features and our service is contact free.

Q A

Are people leaving the city more, or Long Island more? Honestly, I can’t speak to that from our experience yet. We’re not currently advertising heavily in New York City. Most of our awareness driving activities are in Long Island and that is where we are seeing the biggest reaction. We are going to bring Red Rover closer to Manhattan—we have several sites we’re looking at in Brooklyn which will give potential New York City Who’s moving? Have you customers better access. But, I can seen one specific age or say, that we’ve been surprised at demographic on the move the most the number of people moving out of this year? Long Island.

competitive product that would enable just about anyone to move if they wanted to. But clearly, safety and social distancing has been a big driver of people wanting to relocate from dense urban areas to somewhere else. In today’s digital age, you can do everything online. With our service, we’re completely contactless and we do the long distance driving for you. We certainly didn’t plan for COVID but we are extremely well positioned for the consumer preferences it has caused—easy to use, no contact, all at a great price. A new solution backed by more than 150 years of expertise, Red Rover is focused on providing moving and storage solutions that are more affordable and convenient than traditional rental trucks or portable storage. With Fetchable Storage containers, you can pick up and drop off your containers at your convenience, no waiting on drivers and no hidden fees. Headquartered in Tampa, Florida, Red Rover was founded by Pete Warhurst, who founded PODS and has considerable experience and expertise in moving and storage. Visit RedRovers.com to learn more.
