Boulder escapes ‘Best’ list not to be on BOULDER – Sometimes it›s better to miss being named to a ‘Best’ list, like the new Most Pretentious American City list published by Café Valet.

Thankfully, ‘most pretentious’ is one claim Boulder missed.

But neighboring metroarea Denver did make this list and is ranked the fourth most pretentious city in the U.S. The first-ever Pretension Index analyzed the top 50 U.S. metro areas with 1 million residents or more. Analysts examined where latte drinkers and art lovers are most concentrated, using data from sources including the U.S. Census Bureau, Facebook and local businesses.

San Francisco took the top spot with a score of 85 out of a potential 100, besting San Jose (64), San Diego (59), Denver (56) and Portland (56).

The least pretentious cities were also ranked, noting major U.S. metro areas that eschew such trappings. Birmingham and Riverside, California led the list of the least pretentious cities with a score of 18, followed by Detroit (20), Dallas (20) and St. Louis (22).

Apparently, Boulder’s population size – at less

TOM KALINSKI RE/MAX of Boulder than 1 million – kept us out of consideration.

Below is the criteria used to rank cities for the Pretension Index. What do you think; are these the mark of pretentiousness – or merely signs of the times and shifting lifestyles?

Local business concentration (63% of overall score) is based on the following five metrics from business data providers Infogroup and Localeze: The number of independent coffee shops per capita. The higher the concentration, the more pretentious.

The number of yoga studios per capita. The higher the concentration, the more pretentious.

The number of art galleries per capita. The higher the concentration, the more pretentious.

The number of Whole Foods per capita. The higher the concentration, the more pretentious. The number of Walmart stores per capital. The lower the concentration, the more pretentious.

Area interests (25% of overall score) is based on the following five metrics from Facebook Audience Insights.

Indexed number of people interested in philosophy by metro area.

The greater the interest, the more pretentious.

Indexed number of people interested in poetry by metro area. The greater the interest, the more pretentious.

Indexed number of people interested in Moleskine notebooks by metro area. The greater the interest, the more pretentious.

Indexed number of people interested in Sting by metro area. The greater the interest, the more pretentious.

Ownership of electric or hybrid cars by metro area.

The higher the ownership, the more pretentious.

(This data from Edmunds/ R.L. Polk).

Area activities (12% of overall score) is based on two metrics from business data providers Infogroup and Localeze.

Graphs courtesy of Café Valet, a provider of in-room coffee and coffee makers for hotels.

The number of community gardens per capita. The higher the concentration, the more pretentious.

The number of operarelated events per capita.

The more events, the more pretentious.

estate, it looks like 2016 will be a positive year.”

Do’s and don’ts of home buying LOVELAND – Spring is home buying season! If you plan on purchasing a home this season, here are some important do’s and don’ts to remember as a home buyer.

Here’s what to do • Get your financial paperwork inline (paystubs, tax returns, W-9s, bank statements, investment asset statements, etc.).

• Continue to pay your bills on-time.

• Pay down your credit card balances.

• Know what your credit score is.

• Correct any errors on your credit reports.

• Work with a local real estate professional.

• Select a local lender to work with.

• Monitor the real estate

market. Be aware that in some markets, homes are selling for above the asking price.

• Get pre-approved for a mortgage before scheduling showings so that you don’t fall in love with a home that you cannot afford.

• Compare mortgage options (based on interest rates, closing costs, down payment requirements, and other terms).

• Ask about any special loan programs.

Here’s what you don’t do • Apply for new credit (loans, credit cards, charge cards, etc.).

Pulling your credit too often will reduce your score and look

SUZANNE PLEWES RE/MAX Alliance

suspicious to lenders.

• Increase balances on credit cards. The higher your balances, the lower your score will be.

• Make late payments on credit cards and loans.

This will reduce your score and is also viewed heavily by lenders.

• Make large cash deposits into your bank accounts.

This will be questioned by lenders.

• Start viewing homes without knowing your price range first.

• Go through the process without guidance from a buyer agent.

As a home buyer in Colorado, you have the right to obtain assistance from a buyer agent. Buyer agents work for you, rather than for the seller.

They can provide valuable guidance and support

Home buying demystified for the first time purchaser: Finding a good Realtor BOULDER – When I was in my 20s and starting my professional career a wise businesswoman told me that I needed an expert in every area of my life. That was sage advice then and its sage advice when you are buying a home. The experts who help you face the challenges in buying your first home include a licensed Realtor, a lender, a home inspector, a title company and an insurance agent.

The home buying process consists of eight main steps: 1) Determine what you want in a home 2) Select a Realtor to act as your buyer agent 3) Get pre-qualified for a home loan 4) The property search 5) The offer 6) Negotiation and acceptance 7) The inspection 8) The closing Many first time home buyers use online websites such as Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com and others to acquaint themselves with

YOUR PLACE

JOHN GRIFFIN

Coldwell Banker Residential available homes in an area.

There is certainly value in this especially to familiarize a buyer with the current market. These internet based services lack some of the key elements that a Realtor can offer a buyer.

Until about 15 years ago in most areas of the country one Realtor served both buyer and seller during a transaction. Today buyers have the luxury of entering into an agreement (contract to buy real estate) with a real estate agent to exclusively represent their interest. In nearly all transactions the seller pays the commission of the buyer’s agent, so a buyer

gains the expertise of a Realtor without having to directly pay for his service.

A good Realtor has knowledge of the local area and the real estate market; expertise in contracts and other documents; and most importantly time to work for the buyer to craft strategies and plans to meet their specific home buying needs. Prudent buyers find a Realtor who they can trust to ease what can be a challenging and daunting process. A Realtor can’t make important decisions for the buyers but can provide valuable information, guidance and advice; suggest other professionals to assist them; and offer clarification to simplify the decisions they will need to make.

So how does a buyer find the most suitable real estate agent for their home purchase? Open Houses are a nice way to meet and engage with a Realtor, because Realtors at Open Houses are often eager to talk with potential clients and to answer your questions.

You can find out their level of communication skills (especially pay attention to how well they listen). An Open House is a pressure free way to see if you like the Realtor’s approach and style. Don’t be afraid to ask questions that pertain to your situation to discover his level of expertise in that area.

Recommendations from friends and co-workers is also a good avenue to find a Realtor. Always ask if they had a good experience during their sale or purchase and what they liked about the Realtor. Realtors usually have websites where you can review their resume, experience and testimonials.

Another strategy is to call three Realtors and explain what kind of home you are looking for. Ask them to e-mail you some property listings that match your search parameters. A responsive and qualified Realtor will be good at “hearing” your list of parameters and respond quickly by e-mail.

One excellent way to learn about a Realtor and whether they will be a good fit for you is to ask him to show you some homes in the area. Use this time to find out his strengths and weaknesses. How you get along during your first few showings can be a good indicator of the quality of your long term relationship.

The critical questions to keep in mind while evaluating a Realtor is “can I/we trust this person with what is likely my/ our largest financial transaction?” and “Does he have time to work for me/us during the home buying process?”. Intuition is a valuable tool, and I recommend you use yours confidently when selecting your Realtor.

John Griffin is a licensed Realtor at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Boulder and will teach a class for new home buyers on April 23, 2016. For more information contact John at 303.408.7510 or treehouse54@yahoo.com.

Taking it to the paint (job), with expert tips

By Alan J. Heavens, The Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS) A couple weeks ago, I began repainting the exterior of my house.

My last paint job – done in the summer and fall of 2003 – has held up extraordinarily well. It needs a bit of freshening up, though, so it’s time.

This, however, will be my final painting effort on the exterior of this house.

I neither expect to be living in the house 13 years from now, nor do I entertain the thought of spending several hours a day on a ladder at age 79.

I hope, instead, to be playing tennis and golf 4

AT HOME

and playing with my grandchildren by then.

And napping, don’t forget napping.

For those of you who plan to embark on an exterior-painting project this spring, I offer some suggestions from my goto source for advice, the Paint Quality Institute in Spring House, Pa. Since the paint on my cedar-sided house is “sound and continuous,” for the most part, and lead-free, with minimal sanding, scraping, caulking and filling, I’ll give you the PQI basics:

• Treat any mildew with a 3:1 mixture of water to household bleach, leaving it on for 20 minutes and adding more as it dries. Wear eye and skin protection. Rinse thoroughly.

• Dull any glossy paint by sanding with fine-grit (No. 220) garnet paper.

Wear eye protection, dust mask, and work gloves • Remove dirt, chalk, etc. by scrubbing with detergent and water (rinse thoroughly) or by careful power washing using plain water. Note: Woods that tend to be very soft,

such as old and weathered cedar and redwood, can easily be damaged by the high-pressure jet of power washing.

• Priming is helpful but not necessary. Some latex paints, however, may specify use of a primer if used over oil-based paint.

• Use a high-quality exterior latex or oilbased primer that is recommended for repainting wood surfaces.

• Do not leave a primer unpainted.

• Use top-of-the-line exterior, 100 percent acrylic latex house paint

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

in flat, satin, semigloss or gloss finish.

• Use high-quality oil-based paint if there is surface build-up of old oil-based paint.

• Do not apply oil-based paint over latex paint.

Landmarks of the future: Celebrating Old North Boulder BOULDER – If you’re a lifelong Boulderite, you may have spent your formative years in a modest 1950s or ‘60s ranch-style home in a North Boulder neighborhood, enjoying short walks to Ideal Market or a jaunt up to Wonderland Lake. What you didn’t realize? You may have been living in a future landmark.

Now in its 23rd year, the Landmarks of the Future Home Tour is an annual event sponsored

by Historic Boulder, a volunteer organization dedicated to preserving Boulder’s historical, architectural, visual, and environmental heritage. Each year, Historic Boulder chooses an established Boulder neighborhood that boasts unique characteristics all its own, from architectural details to environmental design, and asks homeowners to open their homes over a weekend for a public, self-guided tour.

This year, Landmarks of the Future takes place in Old North Boulder, the mid-century neighborhood bordered

by Iris Avenue to the north, 19th Street to the east, Alpine Avenue to the south, and Broadway to the west. The inspiration behind this year’s choice was the abundance of Old North Boulder homes that have been remodeled with scale in mind. What’s “scale,� you ask? Think sustainability meets function. With plenty of lot-line-to-lotline new builds popping up in Boulder’s newer neighborhoods, many of the remodels within Old North Boulder have been led by environmental sustainability and thoughtful, minimalist construction. (Spoiler alert: there’s even a net-zero home on this year’s tour!)

But Old North Boulder wasn’t always “old� – in fact, at one time it was a brand-new development.

Up until the middle of the

SEAN MCILLWAIN

Mod Boulder Real Estate 20th century, the fields east of Broadway were mainly orchards, and as with most places, there were only a few minor changes over time. It wasn’t until the late 1950s that Boulder saw an influx of aerospace and technology companies - and new home construction took off like a rocket (almost literally).

Acronym corporations like IBM, NCAR, and NOAA ushered this sleepy college town straight into the Atomic Age. Even the Boulder music scene joined the rocket-fueled movement when local

band, The Astronauts, recorded an international hit, “Baja.�

With the influx of new companies, an influx of new residents followed. To fulfill the need for housing, small ranch-style homes were constructed, dotting the prairie landscape of North Boulder. In other parts of town, neighborhoods were springing up practically overnight, like South Boulder’s Martin Acres and smaller North Boulder neighborhoods such as Bonsall, Silver Maple and High Meadows.

As Boulder’s northern neighborhoods developed, a tight-knit community formed, its epicenter pinpointed at the Community Plaza Shopping Center at Broadway and Alpine.

Designed by local architect Hobart Wagner in 1960, the Plaza retains its striking mid-century modern architecture and sense of community pride to this day. As time

marched on and Boulder spread further north, North Boulder’s location on a map became more central; the area was eventually christened “Old North Boulder.�

In the late 20th century, an Old North Boulder housing trend developed: the once similar ranchstyle homes that dotted the neighborhood were being updated into eclectic, often modern poptops or fully renovated homes emphasizing scale, sustainability and style. To celebrate this neighborhood’s diversity, you’re invited to join Historic Boulder and presenting sponsor, Mod Boulder Real Estate, for this year’s 23rd annual Landmarks of the Future Home Tour. On April 30 and May 1, you can check out eight neighborhood homes that exemplify why Old North Boulder has its eye on the future. Tickets are available by visiting HistoricBoulder.org.

BOULDER - 2015 was the Year of Equity. Many homeowners along the Front Range saw the equity in their properties increase, and it was a great time to consider refinancing. Those who didn’t refinance last year may want to consider it this year.

Homeowners refinance for many different reasons.

They could refinance to get cash out of their home to purchase another property, buy a car or pay for education. Refinancing can also allow them to remove their PMI (primary mortgage insurance). In an event of a divorce, a homeowner might need to refinance to change

important to note that the MBA made the same prediction last year as this year, and rates went into the opposite direction expected.

LAWN AND GARDEN

Powerhouse vegetables Looking to bump up your nutrition through fresh produce straight from your garden? Sow some of the powerhouses that taste good without compromising flavor. They pump iron, potassium, manganese, copper, calcium, and zinc into our diets; fill us with vitamins A, C, K, B-complex, antioxidants, flavonoids and carotenoids.

According to a 2014 study by Dr. Jennifer Di Noia of William Patterson University, the green, leafy vegetables rank high on the list of most nutritious foods. Here are a few that top the list: Chinese cabbage, also called Napa cabbage, is a delicious, crunchy vegetable that’s nutrient dense without a lot of calories. Mild in flavor, it reminds people more

CAROL O’MEARA CSU Extension

of celery than a strongly flavored cabbage.

Chopped into soups, rolled around rice and tofu fillings, fermented into Kimchi, or added to your favorite stir fry dish, this ruffled member of the cabbage clan is versatile and easy to grow.

Collard, mustard and turnip greens are also part of the planting plan for increased nutrition.

Members of the cabbage family, grow them as you would other cabbages – plant in cool weather, don’t let them dry out, and give them fertilizer. Use a starter fertilizer when planting, then fertilize when they’re three weeks old and five weeks old.

Beets are an all-around must-have for healthy diets. Their colorful, bulbous roots aren’t just showy when pickled or roasted; they’re also loaded with the things that are good for us: vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and folate. Both tops and roots are delicious additions to our meals.

Chard, a close relative of beets, also has

the nutrient density that’s good for us. They’re grown for their large leaves with edible stems.

Those with thin stems are typically called chard, while those with thicker, rainbow-colored stalks are Swiss chards. Cook the leaves as you would spinach, or rough chop and put into stir fry’s.

Plant chard in nitrogenrich soil, thinning plants to about 12-inches apart (use the thinnings in salads).

When plants are eight inches tall, side dress with nitrogen. Once the plants are seven to nine inches tall, harvest can begin. Cut outer leaves first, about one inch from the soil surface with a sharp knife.

Spinach has long been touted as a good source of iron. It is, along with omega 3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins A, C, and K. Spinach should be sown into soil rich in organic matter; it’s intolerant of becoming dry so check the plot daily for water needs.

Serving North Boulder County for over twenty years.

Succession sow spinach every two weeks for a steady harvest; spinach is a quick crop that finishes within a few weeks. To keep yourself in spinach into the heat of summer, try Correnta, which is more bolt resistant and heat tolerant than others.

Planting powerhouse vegetables is only half the process for upping the nutrition in our food; in order for them to develop all of the minerals and nutrients our bodies crave, the soil has to feed them what they need.

And nutritional density in plants is dependent on the quality and quantity of fertilizer in the soil.

Adding compost to the soil is a good way to boost its nutrient holding capacity, but if the garden is young, compost alone won’t give the plants all of the nutrients they require.

Whether you prefer your fertilizer to be organic or not, plan to provide your plants with what they need to grow quickly.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Five steps toward personal power

By Ed Del Grande, Tribune News Service (TNS) Q: Dear Ed, We just had a big snow storm in April! I’m thinking that even when winter is over, I can lose power with any unexpected storm and I want to look into a permanently installed generator. In past columns you have mentioned these systems. How are they installed? – Sue, Rhode Island A: This type of generator is called a standby generator and is permanently installed to your home’s electrical

system. Residential standbys run on natural gas or propane, and they automatically start up when power is lost. Here’s five basic steps involved when having a standby generator system installed: 1. Standby generators are professionally installed with proper permits pulled.

So, first locate a licensed standby generator dealer/ installer in your area.

2. After a location site visit and any trenching needed, the automatic transfer panel switch and

generator are set in place.

3. All electrical lines/ controls are installed and connected.

4. Natural gas or propane fuel lines are connected to the generator and underground wires and piping are backfilled.

5. Your dealer/installer starts and tests the system and your new standby generator is ready to light up your life.

Master Contractor/ Plumber Ed Del Grande is known internationally as the author of the book

Understanding housing discrimination

By Saul Rosenthal, Colorado Association of Realtors.

Q: Are there any laws in Colorado that protect people from being discriminated against when buying or renting property?

A: Before the U.S. Civil Rights Movement took place during the 1960s, housing discrimination was common and blatant, especially against African Americans but also against Jews and various other minority groups. In some places, including here in Colorado, discrimination was actually written into the law through “covenants” which prevented real estate agents from showing properties to prohibited groups.

The passage of the 1968 landmark Fair Housing Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap began a process of eliminating discrimination in housing along with

other areas of economic, political and social life.

Further protections against discrimination in housing were added with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, and state and local laws and ordinances.

Research conducted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Urban Institute demonstrates a longterm downward trend in housing discrimination over the past 45 years but also shows that some discriminatory practices remain. The National Fair Housing Coalition estimates that there are as many as 3 to 4 million instances of housing discrimination in this country every year.

April is Fair Housing Month, a good time to focus on the problem of discrimination in housing and to work towards a time when renting or buying a home is equally

accessible to all Americans.

You can protect yourself against discrimination by understanding the law and how it requires you be treated as a potential buyer or renter. And there are resources available to help you if you believe you are the victim of housing discrimination.

One of the most important reasons to choose a Realtor® over anyone else when you want help with your housing purchase or rental is the Code of Ethics which every Realtor® must sign. That Code includes specific language prohibiting any form of discrimination.

So what are your rights? As a home buyer or renter you cannot be refused to be shown a property or prohibited from renting, buying, selling or transferring a property based on any of the categories listed above.

In addition, in Colorado, sexual orientation and marital status have

Water draining towards the house instead of away from the house, can cause serious water damage.

Gutter downspouts should have extensions to carry water away from the house. The amount of rain water coming off the roof could be in the thousands of gallons and if the water is discharged alongside the

Here are some examples of housing discrimination.

A landlord refuses to rent an apartment to a man because he is a person with a mental or physical disability When looking to buy a condominium, the buyer is told that only married couples are eligible to live in that property A real estate agent suggests you not look in a particular neighborhood because “the people there are not like you” A mortgage lender refuses to include income from public assistance in your loan application A property manager refuses to rent an apartment to a prospective tenant who is transgender If you believe that you

have been the victim of housing discrimination you should contact Colorado Civil Rights Division at 303.894.2997 or visit dora.state.co.us/ civil-rights/Housing/ housing.html. You can also contact The Denver Regional office of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development at 303.672.5440 or file a housing discrimination complaint online at portal.hud.gov/hudportal/ HUD?src=/topics/housing_ discrimination.

Exterior inspections

BOULDER – A thorough inspection of a home’s exterior is critical as conditions on the outside may also affect the integrity of the interior.

Inspectors will make a visible inspection of the grounds around the house to see if rain water is draining away from the structure or towards it.

Rain water that drains towards the house could damage the structure, weaken the foundation and allow water to get into the basement or crawl space.

T

he team of Bosch Real Estate Group and Masterwork Home Company has been creating vibrant, successful communities in Longmont since 1992. One of the most distinguished is The 5280 Collection at Somerset Meadows, a collection of 14 custom homes, each with its unique architectural style, and built to the highest standards.

Located in southwest

Longmont, it abounds with amazing mountain and foothill views.

Two custom spec homes –The Portland and The Redmond – are available at 5280 in Somerset Meadows. They epitomize the quality and inspired architecture that make the 5280 Collection and nearby Summerlin the most desirable new home communities in Longmont.

We make it our daily mission to provide the best value, best designs and best attention to detail of anyone in the home-building business.

– Masterwork Home Company 12

AT HOME

The Portland The Portland, at 2001 Poppyfield Court, Longmont, is under construction and should be ready in six months, with late September early October move in.

Taking advantage of the magnificent views was Masterwork Home Company’s top priority while designing this gracious custom home.

Long's Peak is centered in the view windows in the dining room, kitchen, Great Room, master bath and master bedroom.

This dynamic home delivers ultra luxury, contrasting rustic materials and smooth, refined elements. The wood accents reinforce the strong horizontal lines articulated by the low-pitched hipped roof, widely overhanging eaves, and the banding of windows. Ideally located on a cul-de-sac lot, this walk-

out ranch has it all.

Brian Terry, marketing director of the Masterwork Home Company team since 1993, says of the Portland, “I’m so inspired by the custom home created for 2001 Poppyfield Court. It perfectly highlights panoramic views with most rooms and outdoor living spaces gazing straight out to Long's Peak. The roof lines are powerful, and the thoughtful combination of stone, stucco and natural cedar is so elegant yet very welcoming. But my favorite feature is the tower of glass at the center of the home, because it allows natural light to fill both the upper and lower levels. This is exciting, fresh architecture.”

The effect is dazzling. Besides this home’s architectural and natural beauty, its desirable cul-desac location, rare and ex-

ceptional walk-out lot, and peerless mountain views, are ultra-luxury features throughout, like the tower of windows flooding the stairwell with natural light, and voluminous 10’ and 11’ ceilings throughout the main floor.

A tour of the Portland The entry and foyer are modern and open, flanked by the powder bath and a large closet. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level. The large, private study boasts a built-in library wall. The Great Room is a spacious living area perfect for entertaining, enhanced by extensive, all-encompassing windows, and an elegant horizontal wall fireplace.

As for the kitchen: As Terry said, this one is superb. It is supersized – over 19’x19’ with a large central island. It is more the size of a great room April 15-16, 2016

than a typical kitchen.

The modern design provides efficient living and entertaining space, with beautiful quartz countertops and Bosch professional series stainless steel appliances.

The Master bedroom suite includes a luxurious 5-piece master bath, with an inviting, freestanding soaking tub. The oversized master closet is so convenient, with built-in features. There is a main floor guest room, which is much like a mini master suite. A spacious mudroom and oversized laundry add to the convenience of daily life.

The enormous 2,637 square foot basement offers an additional 1,263 finished square feet, including two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a recreation room with outdoor access. This new home is unsurpassed in value and design and unequaled in attention to detail.

The Portland Features • 4 bedrooms, 3 ½ baths • 3-car garage • 4,253 Finished square feet: • 5,270 total square feet • Walk-out basement • Pacific Northwest architecture • .28 acre lot • Views of Longs Peak • $979,000 (includes both home and lot), MLS# 777718

The Redmond The Redmond, with nine months to completion, is at 2002 Poppy Field Court in Longmont.

It boasts a desirable cul-de-sac location, and a rare and exceptional walk-out lot, cutting-edge modern design and ultraluxury features throughout, like voluminous 10’ to 14’ ceilings throughout the main floor.

Terry says of the Redmond, “This home feels like a fine sculpture.

The exterior styling is so intriguing that everyone really wants to know what lies inside.”

Departing from the traditional, the Redmond’s sophisticated contemporary design combines unique architecture with natural elements to create a beautiful balance. This spectacular ranch plan presents open, flexible spaces and is perfect for both families and individuals.

A Tour of the Redmond The entry and foyer

are modern and open, designed to flow into the Great Room with grand 14’ ceilings. Hardwood flooring extends throughout the main level. The large, private study soars with its vaulted ceiling, and there is a gas fireplace.

The Great Room is a grand and spacious living area perfect for entertaining. All-encompassing windows lead out to the covered patio, and an elegant horizontal wall fireplace stands out.

The oversized kitchen features a large central island; its modern design combines efficient living and entertaining space. It is furnished with custom Tharp cabinets with designer features, beautiful quartz countertops, Bosch Professional series stainless steel appliances, and a large dining nook.

The Master bedroom suite includes a luxurious 5-piece master bath, with an inviting, freestanding soaking tub. The over-

sized master closet is so convenient, with builtin features.

The main floor guest room is like a mini master bedroom.

A spacious mudroom and oversized laundry add to the convenience of daily life.

In addition to the main floor, which covers 2,401 square feet, the expansive 2,243 square foot walkout basement offers an additional 1,421 finished square feet, including a mini-master suite, additional bedroom with private bath, recreation room and wet bar.

The Redmond Features • 4 bedrooms, 4 ½ baths • 3-car garage • 3,822 Finished square feet: • 4,644 total square feet • Walk-out basement • Modern architecture • .29 acre lot • $929,900 (includes both home and lot)

Masterwork Home Company “It is important to point out that Masterwork Home Company has a variety of other custom home building sites available in southwest Longmont ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 acre,” says Terry.

Masterwork Home Company homes combine quality materials and inspired design, where every element is carefully crafted, and every detail that you personally select is seamlessly added to create your unique dream home. More than just homes, Masterwork builds communities. Bosch Real Estate Group and Masterwork Home Company have built Longmont’s most distinguished neighborhoods, such as StarWood at Fox Meadow, Sundance, Wyndemere, The Reserve, Hover Ridge and The Farm at Creekside.

“While we are proud of the awards and accolades that our homes have received, we still make it our daily mission to provide the best value, best designs and best attention to detail of anyone in the homebuilding business. I welcome you to visit us at our communities and discover how we can build a home that is perfect for you,” says Terry.

SPRING COLORS

Wright Kingdom is WK Real Estate

By Cathy Hobbs, Tribune News Service (TNS)

Now that spring is here and warmer temperates are on its way, incorporating color will be one of the main ways to infuse warmth and color into your space.

Citrus colors can help brighten and lighten a space to usher spring into your home. Citrus colors can include orange, green and yellow,

and many shades of colors such as orange and green often have yellow undertones. Citrus colors are also often considered to be genderneutral, so if you are looking to select universally appealing colors for a living room, master bedroom, child's room or nursery, citrus colors are the way to go.

Open Sun 1-3pm

A sharp citrus paint helps to perk up this otherwise small living room space.

Orange Orange is a happy color that can be seen as both youthful and sophisticated. Pair orange with a rich charcoal gray or black and it can serve as a gorgeous accent color in a master bedroom or living room. Conversely, pair orange with hot pink and you have the makings of a festive children’s room.

Yellow Yellow is a fun, festive color that can range from bright and bold to deep and rich. A deep mustard yellow can brighten a space just as much as a brighter shade of yellow.

Yellow is one of the best choices to make a room feel bright and cheery, as well as for spaces that receive limited natural sunlight.

MONOGRAMS make life beautiful

By Mary Carol Garrity, Tribune News Service (TNS) Monograms are magic, in my book. Take an ordinary piece of cloth, like a pillowcase or napkin, and embroider on a monogram, and you’ve transported it from ho-hum to tres chic.

Monograms, which date back to ancient Greece and Rome, came of age in the Victorian era, when the aristocracy turned embellishing their personal items with their initials into an art form. Soon everyone had the fever.

Including me.

I’ve been crazy about monograms for decades. Intertwined letters are a personal creative expression.

They link people and families together. They 18

AT HOME

make everyday life more beautiful and luxurious.

Whether I’m decorating my own home or those of friends and customers, I often use monograms to make a space special. Here are some of my favorite ways to use monograms in decorating and daily life: Accent with monogrammed pillows All by themselves, accent pillows have the power to change up the look of a sofa, chair or bed. Add in a monogram? Twice the drama.

When you’re monogramming an item for a husband and wife, or partners, with a shared last name, traditionally, the last initial is placed in the

center and in a larger size.

The initial for the wife or one of the partner’s first name is placed on the left side and the initial for the husband, or second partner, is placed on the right. For every rule, there is an exception: Sometimes using your initials in this order will spell words you don’t want decorating your home. Feel free to modify!

When doing a monogram for an individual, the last name initial goes in the center in a larger size. The first name initial is on the left and the middle initial is on the right. Another great option is to simply use the letters of your first and last name.

While monograms

Make furnishings unique When a friend of mine had a lovely antique chair refinished, she decided to make it exceptionally beautiful by decorating it with a monogram. I’m crazy about monogrammed upholstered furniture, and we do this all the time. It takes a few extra steps, but it’s well worth it.

Another tip when you are selecting a monogram is to pick a font and color scheme that suits the size and style of the object you are having monogrammed.

For instance, if you are monogramming tip towels for your formal powder room, you’ll want something that looks a bit more elegant. If you’re monogramming a headboard for your little boy’s room, you might want something a bit more playful. When it comes to my own bedding, I’m partial to tone-on-tone monograms in creams because it’s so elegant.

Here’s a fun treatment we did for a designer show home event a few years ago. This lovely old iron bed needed a little punch, so we made a slipcover for the headboard, personalizing it with a monogram.

Make dining special I think the ultimate in dining luxury is using monogrammed linens on your table. One of my favorite tricks since we moved into our lake cottage is to use dish towels for napkins. I really like their generous size and how well they launder.

And, when I grow tired of them on my table or they take on a few too many stains, I convert them back into dish towels, replacing those that are work out. This spring, I’m spoiling myself just a bit and having these cute

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

blue and white towels monogrammed with bright pink initials. I think they will look sensational with my blue and white dishes.

When I entertain more formally, I like to use the monogrammed napkins I’ve been given as gifts or found at flea markets or antique stores. If you love old linens as much as I do, you’ll be thrilled with any monogram – not just your own. Right now I have two different sets of antique napkins that feature beautiful raised monograms that aren’t mine. The script on the napkins is so elegant – and unreadable – that you can’t tell whose initials are on them.

Celebrate life events Having something monogrammed for yourself or as a gift is a great way to mark a big life event. A wedding, the birth of a baby, the passing of a loved one. This spring I’m giving a few brides monogrammed pillows for their wedding gifts. I picked a 16-by-30-inch size because it’s perfect for the center of a sofa or a bed or a window seat. One side will have the initial of the couple’s last name.

The other will have their combined monogram. I picked gray and cream, a classic combo that will go with anything in their home.

I also love monogrammed jewelry.

When my dad passed away, another friend gave me a gold charm with Dad’s initial on it, and I attached it to a bracelet that I wear every day. I feel like, in some small way, it keeps him here with me.

Monograms have that magical ability to link us to the past and the future.

HOME FIX

Time to change gasoline in all equipment

By C. Dwight Barnett, Tribune News Service (TNS) This spring has been different from most I remember. There has been heavy spring snowfall in many parts of the country and drought relief and flooding in other parts. If the weather is uncooperative, it’s hard to plan for spring cleanup and repairs. I have a few pointers for preparing your garden tools and your home for spring once the weather permits.

Whether rain or shine, it’s time to change the oil and filter in your gas-powered lawn mower, tiller, power washer, etc. Remove the leftover gasoline in your handheld, gas-powered lawn trimmer, blower, vacuum, etc. and add a fresh supply of gasoline to all your equipment.

Change air filters for your

riding mower’s engine and replace older or worn belts. Change last year’s spark plugs, sharpen and balance cutting blades and charge batteries for self-starting and batterypowered equipment.

Check stored garden hoses for cracks or leaks and repair or replace as needed. The hose can rot when improperly stored or can suffer freeze damage if the hose was not fully drained and then stored in an unheated area.

Clean and oil shears and all garden tools. Each time a garden tool is used it should be cleaned, dried and wiped with oil before storage. The oil helps to control rust and wear. A lightweight oil such as “Three in One” or even a vegetable oil will help to preserve the tool.

A wet winter can cause the soils next to the foundation to settle, and runoff water can enter the foundation of the home.

By adding and compacting the new soils next to the foundation you can redirect the water away from the home. Seed and straw the new fill to hold the soils in place. Areas next to the foundation with just mulch and ground cover are not a barrier to runoff water.

Gutters need to be cleaned, and the downspouts should be directed at least six feet away from the foundation.

If you have buried downspout drains, use a garden hose to flush the drains to insure the pipes are not blocked or clogged with debris.

It’s time to clean, caulk

and seal windows and doors.

Winter weather can cause caulking to crack or come loose, and a tight seal will ensure a cooler, dryer home.

Check the roof shingles for wind damage. Many areas have experienced extremely strong winds that can lift and damage roof shingles. You can use binoculars to get a closeup view of most, if not all, of the roof area. I do not recommend inspecting from a ladder or by walking on the roof. If you suspect a problem, contact a licensed roofer.

Winter weather can lift and damage concrete walks, steps, patios and driveways. Check for

cracks or movement.

Cracks can be filled with caulking or a hand mixed slurry of sand and cement.

Concrete that has settled can be professionally repaired by pumping an expanding foam product through holes drilled in the slab.

HOME TRENDS for 2016

By Danielle Braff, Chicago Tribune (TNS)

T

hree major trends emerged from the International Home & Housewares Show, which packed more than 6,000 people from 100plus countries into Chicago recently.

Clean water, multitasking and color were reflected in everything from blenders to filtration systems, from cookware to spatulas.

The understanding that products will do even more – could be viewed across all areas of the show.

“The overall theme was a consumer-facing goal of ‘Make my day or change my life; save me 10 minutes or save me 10 bucks,’” said Patrick Spear, president and CEO of the Global Market Development Center, based in Colorado Springs, Colo.

“Designers are decidedly innovating products that are skewed toward being simple yet exceptional when it came to integration into the consumer’s lifestyle.”

Every item was expected to do more than ever before, including the microwave, which isn’t just for reheating leftovers anymore.

Joseph Joseph’s M-Cuisine products (starts at $12 at josephjoseph. com) included a stackable four-piece cooking set that cooks bacon in the microwave, and it also has products for microwaving pasta, poaching eggs and cooking rice in America’s favorite appliance.

Gourmia has the 10-in-1 Multi-Function Robotic Cooker ($149.99 at amazon.com), which can steam, grill, bake, pan fry, stew, slow cook,

roast, make sauces and more using a “robot” that automatically stirs and moves air throughout, so the food cooks evenly.

Tying into the clean living, multitasking trend were products designed to do more while taking up a smaller footprint.

KitchenAid presented a mini stand mixer (expected in June from national retailers for $399.99) with a smaller footprint, designed for a customer with a smaller kitchen.

Water filtration With the Flint, Mich., water crisis not far from many minds, it was hard not to step more than a few feet without landing on another water bottle or water filtration system.

“One of the biggest trends that we saw at the show this year is the concept of healthy living – not just healthy cooking, which is also very important,” said Casey Weiss, lifestyle consultant for the International Housewares Association, based in Rosemont, Ill. “We saw an increase of air purifiers and an increase in a variety of different water-purification products.”

For example, Aquarius Brands created the AquaBoy Pro II (available at the beginning of June for $1,849 from national retailers), which draws humidity from the air and processes it through a seven-step filtration system and turns it into drinking water.

“We’ve seen an increase in water bottles, water filtration, infused water – a whole category of providing safe drinking

The Kitchen-Aid Artisan mini is a multitasker and can add a pop of color to the kitchen. (KitchenAid) water for the family, which ties into whole healthy living,” Weiss said.

For safe drinking on the go, the Aquasana Filter Water Bottle ($29.99 at aquasana.com) has a replaceable $15 filter that removes more than 99 percent of bacteria, lead, chlorine, cryptosporidium and giardia.

Water bottles catered to every need in the market, from filtered water to flavored water.

The Eva Solo’s My Flavor Carafe ($56 at evasolo.com) allows beverage drinkers to customize drinks quickly and easily with fruits and

vegetables, Spear said.

Pops of color Finally, colors were hard to miss at the show – from small kitchen appliances to garbage cans.

Those shopping for new housewares this spring can expect to be bombarded with colorful products.

When the economy wasn’t doing as well, people were shopping for neutral colors because they weren’t planning to replace their appliances anytime soon, Weiss said.

Those days appear to be over for now.

Baby pink and blue are emerging as the new hot

colors, though deep red and other bolder colors are also very trendy.

Japanese brand Sencor (sencor.eu) released an entire line of small kitchen appliances (starting at $34.95, available in a few weeks at Target, Kohl’s and Best Buy) ranging from hand mixers to electric kettles to kitchen scales and stand mixers – all in pastel colors.

“When the economy is doing better, (designers are) more apt to put colors into appliances, because they know that, in a few years, (consumers) can replace them,” Weiss said.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Hire a pro to remove a load-bearing wall

By Angie Hicks, Angie’s List (TNS) Dear Angie: How much does it cost to remove a load-bearing wall?

In the basement of my home, there is a single concrete beam below the intersection of the living room, dining room and kitchen walls. I’d like to remove the wall between the dining room and kitchen. – Victoria L., Pittsburgh Dear Victoria: Open-concept living and having an open floor plan continue to be very popular with homeowners.

But unless your home is fairly new, more than likely you have separate rooms and many walls dividing the space. Removing one of those walls might not seem like a big deal, but it could cause the house to crumble.

A load-bearing wall holds the weight of the house A load-bearing wall is just that – a wall that holds the weight of the house, including its contents, and transfers that weight to the foundation.

A home’s exterior walls are load-bearing. Some interior walls are also load-bearing, designed to support the roof or areas with concentrated weight such us under a bathtub

middle or it may just sit on top of the outside wall or foundation. It can be a bit more complicated to recognize a load-bearing wall if it’s hidden behind drywall in a finished room, which is why hiring a licensed contractor is always recommended.

Consider a qualified general contractor, structural engineer or architect for the job.

Consider the services of a structural engineer, architect or qualified general contractor before removing a load-bearing wall. (Photo by Eldon Lindsay) or kitchen. Typically, all load-bearing walls are directly above one another throughout the different levels of a home.

Costs to remove a load-bearing wall vary You can’t simply remove a load-bearing wall without causing serious structural damage to the house. The wall needs to be replaced with another type of support system – which can be less obtrusive

– to hold the weight. The cost associated with such work is going to vary according to the logistics of your house. How big is the new support beam and where will it go? Do you have to re-route HVAC ductwork and electrical wires? Will you need new drywall, trim and paint? The total project could cost anywhere from $1,500 to more than $8,000 depending on its complexity.

How to identify a load-bearing wall To identify interior load-bearing walls, start in the basement or the lowest level of the house and look for beams or columns that appear to hold the weight of the floor above them. In an unfinished basement, it should be easy to pinpoint as a large beam, usually made of metal, running from one side of the room to the other. It may have posts supporting it in the

Obtain a permit before removing a load-bearing wall You’ll need a permit from your local municipality to remove a load-bearing wall.

Having a kitchen that opens up directly into the living room is great for entertaining, but the city is going to want to make sure you follow building codes during the remodel. Also, don’t be surprised if they send an inspector to check out the work during the process and once it’s completed.
