Four ways to get the character of historic window architecture in a new house (BPT) - History tends to repeat itself.

The saying, “The more things change, the more they stay the same” rings true with architectural styles. We have smarter ways of building and the layouts have evolved with lifestyle changes, but historical and authentic design is only growing in demand.

“Post-war in the mid to late 20th century, many homes began losing that historical European influence due to the need for mass produced, affordable housing,” says Deryl Patterson, an award-winning residential architect, and president and founder of Housing Design Matters, Inc. “Fast forward 30 years, and homebuyers began demanding those historical styles again with the convenience and functionality of a new home.”

“One of the features often overlooked when designing a ‘new old house’ is the window style,” says Mark Montgomery, vice president of marketing for Ply Gem Windows.

“Instinctively, people realize the curb appeal of a home is not quite right when the windows do not fit the architectural style,

but they can’t point out what’s wrong. Windows are so much more than white rectangles and can really make or break the home’s design.”

For homebuyers who want an authentic older home look, the exterior must be designed in a specific manner, down to every little detail, especially the window architecture. Montgomery advises buyers to consider the color, grilles (decorative pattern that can simulate the look of separated glass panes), operating style and shape for historically-influenced design that complements the home’s style.

To get the look, here are four examples of how history influenced window architecture in home design: French Country This is a very elegant style, focusing on vertical proportions. Windows are a defining characteristic that should emphasize this. A 3-foot by 6-foot window with a two-overtwo window grille pattern is a classic combination.

The single vertical mullion (a post that separates two windows) in the window further reinforces its striking proportions.

atHome

Craftsman Bungalow This style was developed from the British Arts and

Crafts movement and features double-hung or casement windows.

In Craftsman-style homes, the exterior trim traditionally contrasts with the window frame color, and the windows include grille patterns that create vertical proportions.

Prairie A bold departure from the typical Europeaninfluenced styles, windows in modern Prairie architecture are typically tall casements in warm tones, providing the perfect complement and contrast to the horizontal lines of the style. A Prairiestyle grille pattern is essential to complete the look.

To find the window style that best fits your “new old house,” Patterson recommends researching the options.

“One of the best ways to find inspiration is to drive through older, historical neighborhoods.

If you don’t live close to such neighborhoods, old travel magazines and history books are also great resources,” she says.

Websites like plygem.com also help provide inspiration and take the guesswork out of architectural styling and color selection through historically accurate visual renderings, window design specifications and suggested style and grille patterns.

The bold, yet modern Prairie architectural style typically features tall casements in warm tones, providing the perfect complement and contrast to the horizontal lines of the style. A Prairie-style grille pattern is essential to complete the look.

Modern Tuscan Windows play a vital role in the design. Imagine them as geometric forms, creating interesting patterns across the front of the home. Consider combinations of single hung and fixed glass windows. The windows should be relatively free of grilles - perhaps a simple single vertical or cross pattern - to keep the style fresh. If the budget allows, consider upgrading to a Ply Gem MIRA Series window and using one of the bold, saturated tones, available in nearly 50 different colors.

REAL ESTATE

Appreciation in the Boulder County real estate market BOULDER - We all know the real estate market is hot right now, but what do we do with that knowledge? How do real estate agents advise our buyers and sellers? These questions were raised at a recent RE/MAX of Boulder office meeting and I found some interesting trends in the data from the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) Home Purchase Index (HPI) that illuminate our recent market appreciation and it’s relation to past periods of market appreciation.

The HPI data is for all of Boulder County and is comprised of paired sales drawn from all of the appraisals done on conforming, conventional mortgages on single family homes. This means we’re looking at the sale of the same home over time so we truly are comparing apples to apples. This data does not include any attached home sales or data from VA, FHA or Jumbo mortgages.

Here’s the chart with a logarithmic scale that displays the same percentage changes in values with the same vertical scale regardless of value so that a period of 50 percent appreciation in home values will have the same vertical height on the chart without regard to the starting and ending values. I used the average sales price for a single family home in Boulder County at the end of 2015, and used the FHFA data to take that average home back in time to its value in 1978.

Many things struck me about this chart. The consistency of our periods of major appreciation in both slope and length of time. The fact that the intervening periods really didn’t see major depreciation. The fact 6

AT HOME

MIKE MALEC

RE/MAX of Boulder that we really didn’t see any sustained major depreciation for any period going back to 1978 in Boulder County. The fact that most of our periods of stronger appreciation last about 48 months.

One of the things I keep hearing lately is how unprecedented our current market strength is. While the buyer frenzy for the few properties on the market may be unprecedented, the appreciation rates we’re currently seeing match nicely with the periods of appreciation we saw from 1978-1982, 19901994 and 1997-2001. I was very surprised how well the green lines in the chart above matched the length and slope of the three preceding periods of strong appreciation.

All of these 48 month periods saw appreciation that rose between 51.8 to 54.1 percent. This is interesting as our current period of appreciation started in 2013 and so far, values have gone up 32.9 percent. This tells me we can still expect about 19 to 20 percent more appreciation in home values before the cycle ends. This also tells me we’re likely to see strong appreciation into early 2017 assuming the same 48 month pattern holds true for this uptick in the market.

(Chart courtesy of RE/MAX of Boulder).

The lack of any real downturns in the chart was also interesting. There were two times when you could have lost money if you bought at the very peak of the market and then had to sell within the next three years: In the second quarter of 1982 when we saw a 9.7 percent downturn and in quarter one if 2009 when we saw a 3.4 percent downturn. One time, quarter two in 1987, if you bought and had to sell within the next year you would have lost 1.43 percent. Other than those times, it’s been hard to point to any time in the chart where values have dropped dramatically. In fact, if you bought a property and held it for six years or more, there has never been a time in this dataset that you would have lost money.

So what will it mean when this current cycle ends? I don’t think that means we’ll see depreciation, just a lessening in the rate of appreciation that will

lead to a flatter period of still positive but small appreciation rates. I’ve heard many times before that the longer the flat period, the greater the rise at the start of the next cycle. Since our upturns have been very consistent without regard to the previous flat period, I’m not sure I believe in that assessment. I think the consistency in the upturns has more to do with equity appreciation and wage gains. The purchasing power of the buyers builds up until there is a breakout, but can only be sustained for so long before that buying power has to be recharged.

The one thing that could throw this whole analysis out the window is the potentially changing nature of our market. Has our market fundamentally changed? If it has, an analysis comparing the current market to past patterns is doomed.

Buyers have definitely become more informed through the use of the

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

internet, but I don’t think that has fundamentally changed the way the market appreciates. The one change that I see that probably has started to fundamentally change our market and will continue to change it is the buildout of Boulder County. All of the past appreciation periods occurred in times when more homes could be built, a new home relief valve on accumulating demand. We’re not builtout yet, but that day is on the horizon and assuming Boulder County remains the desirable place that it is now, this change will be dramatic and will finalize the supply side of the equation forever.

What’s the difference between banks and mortgage companies?

LOVELAND – There are so many options for home buyers when it comes to finding a mortgage. You can walk into your local bank or credit union, contact a major mortgage company, or use a mortgage broker. What’s the difference? There are actually a few major differences that you should be aware of.

Banks and credit unions When you walk into a bank or credit union, they typically have in-house programs. If they intend to keep the loan (rather than selling it into the mortgage market), then their requirements might be slightly different than the ones that comply with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac guidelines. This can be a good thing if you’re looking for a specialized program.

Dedicated mortgage companies Companies solely in the business of generating mortgages often sell a certain percentage (or in some cases, all) of their loans into the market.

This is not a bad thing, it simply means that their loans must comply with certain guidelines so that it can be sold. If sold, your payments must go to a different lender than the one who initially gave you the loan. Don’t worry, your mortgage terms and conditions cannot be changed. Given the volume of loans that many major lenders issue, they can sometimes offer more competitive rates or terms than small banks or credit unions that keep loans in-house.

Mortgage brokers Mortgage brokers are yet another entity that can provide you with mortgages. As a broker,

SUZANNE PLEWES RE/MAX Alliance

they essentially have access to programs from hundreds of mortgage companies and can help you find one that best fits your needs. They assist with getting the loan closed an approved, after which point you send your payments directly to the designated lender.

There are some mortgage brokerage companies that are also lenders themselves and will keep some loans in-house.

Which type of company should you contact?

This is always a tough decision for home buyers to make. First, you should know that it’s okay to check with more than one lender and compare their programs, interest rates and closing

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

costs. Just make sure that you are comparing apples-to-apples when it comes to the type of program. For example, comparing an FHA loan with 3.5% down versus a conventional loan with 10% down will obviously be different even from the same lender.

Get a referral Your real estate agent can also refer you to a reputable local lender.

Some lenders are more proficient at processing and closing loans than others. Working with a good lender will make the home buying process easier and less stressful for you, which certainly has value. The home buying process can be complicated and stressful enough, so working with the right professionals is always important.

ASK THE CONTRACTOR

HOME DECOR

By Ed Del Grande, Tribune News Service (TNS)

Hands down, the question I get asked most as an editor is “Where do you find the best deals on home decor?” With the fair share of my workday allocated to honing huntergatherer skills in the home shopping arena, it’s a line of inquiry I take seriously.

A streamlined budget means all the more cushion for the next time you find that truly worthwhile splurge. Save your dollars for the great white buffalo of decor, and feather your nest with these walletfriendly vendors while you’re waiting.

Conserving shower water in comfort

Here’s how to never pay full price for furniture By Jillian Knox Finley, Domaine (TNS)

Conventional shower heads use 2.5 gallons of water per minute.

Q: Dear Ed: I am replacing my old shower head and want my new shower head to save some water. Even though I want to conserve water, I do enjoy a good shower.

Can you please give me some of your famous Ed pro tips on choosing a new conservation shower head? – Billy, Rhode Island A: Conventional shower heads use 2.5 gallons per minute. So, if you choose a new shower head that uses less than 2.5 gpm, you can pick up additional water savings, depending on how low you go.

A popular conservation choice is 2 gpm. While this flow change may be a little lower, new technology can improve performance to offset May 13-14, 2016

any low-flow concerns.

Some new conservation technology can include: • Easy-to-clean shower nozzles so the new shower head can continue to operate as designed.

• Wide-face spray head so the water covers your body vs. a small targeted spray area.

• Finally, air-injected technology that infuses every drop of water with air for a big shower feel that will blow you away.

Always consult local contractors and codes.

Tuesday Morning I don’t have enough good things to say about deep discount retailer Tuesday Morning. It is a diamond in the rough.

From Sferra Egyptian cotton sheets to top-of-theline feather beds, there’s always a score. It is my go to for essentials. The inventory rotates, so it can be hit or miss, but I have never left empty-handed.

Go here for linens and bathroom upgrades. You will save big.

Restoration Hardware Outlet Restoration Hardware’s Outlet boasts a phenomenal customer service department.

Not only will you find seasonal markdowns of classic furnishings and lush linens, but the store representatives will keep tabs on specific items and inform you when they become available. If you’ve got a RH wish list going on Pinterest, call the nearest outlet in your region.

HomeGoods HomeGoods is another well-vetted deep-discount staple that requires an

in-person visit. They have everything from stainless steel cookware to area rugs and furnishings. You’ll find it all. Ask the store managers when they get new shipments in stock.

They’ll let you in on the inside scoop before the weekend rush sets in.

World Market The selection online and in store at World Market always offers our team a surprise find. In fact, as a whole, we love to brag about our hauls from this place; everything from eclectic summer barware for entertaining to distinctive furniture with a well-traveled vibe abounds.

If you are looking for oversize area rugs, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more competitive price point.

Costco The next time you are buying quinoa in bulk, wander over to the bedding and pet section of Costco.

They have crazy-affordable pet beds for large breeds, and I can personally vouch for the efficacy of their hypoallergenic pillows.

Their sheet sets are also surprisingly silky, and you can grab whatever electronic upgrades your heart desires, from a Vitamix to a flat screen, on your way out the door.

Overstock Online retailer Overstock is aptly named in that the selection reaches far and wide. For homewares, it’s as good as it gets in terms of sourcing every style, make and color you might be hunting down. We recommend a targeted search. Have your keywords squared away, be they “industrial” or “midcentury,” and narrow your results using

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

filters. Without a strategic approach, the inventory can get overwhelming (not a complaint.)

TINI The cheeky name of this Los Angeles vintage shop (TINI is an acronym for “This Is Not Ikea”) encourages shoppers to think beyond the catalogue when it comes to design.

The selection is some of the most delightfully off-kilter in town, and they may even work an additional discount if you have items for consignment. While our love for IKEA will never die, we’re fully behind this brand’s storied approach to one-of-a-kind savings.

Craigslist Simply put, Craigslist is the holy grail of home decor scores. Retailers often list inventory on the site, but it’s the offers “by owner” that deliver the most jaw-dropping discounts. Many a time the greatest trophies are being offered up by individuals who fully know their worth, they are just over the inconvenience of listing it on eBay or contacting a dealer. To get the best bang for your buck, know your vocabulary. Cruise 1stdibs and find the exact era of the brutalist credenza you’re searching for and frequent the site with your specific search. Every now and then someone misspells a designer’s name, so check a few iterations.

Be ready to pounce. The good stuff goes fast. In fact, we dare you to beat us to the punch.

LAWN AND GARDEN

Tomatoes grew from weeds to superstars

CAROL O’MEARA CSU Extension

BOULDER COUNTY When it comes to getting a little slice of love apple in your life, the tomato has come a long way, baby.

From its lowly beginnings as a weed that spread from its native Andean region through Central American into Mexico, the small cherry tomato-sized fruit has won hearts around the world, until becoming a major crop and one of the

navel” or “fat water with navel.”

Spanish explorers brought tomatoes to Europe, calling them tomate for the Nahuatl tomātl; Moors living in Spain took the fleshy fruit to Morocco, and from this, the tomato found its way world-wide. Many languages, such as Dutch, Portuguese, German and Ukrainian use forms of the word “tomato” (tomate) to refer to the red fruit, and historical references to it date back to 1595. Other languages, such as Italian and Polish, refer to it as Pomodoro – the apple of gold.

Nicknames abound along with myths about this tasty fruit, including the German “wolf peach” because it Serving North Boulder County for over twenty years. was believed that eating a tomato would turn a person into a werewolf. w . ynn e e.com My favorite is the French 303-823-6818 • 4559 Highland Drive • located between Longmont & Lyons

most popular plants in the vegetable garden.

Tomatoes have been domesticated and improved for size by people throughout history. In the Uto-Aztecan Nahuatl language it was called tomātl, meaning “fat water” or “fat thing”; they also called the bigger, red fruit from their breeding efforts xitomatl, meaning either “plump thing with

endearment pomme d’amore, or love apple.

Once it arrived in Europe, people began tinkering with the tomato, choosing types that performed well in their own locations. This selection expanded its genetic diversity, providing landraces with a wide array of fruit shapes, colors, and tolerance to growing conditions.

Some of these tomatoes are now popular heirlooms, blasts from the past that provide modern garden treats. Yet over time the inbreeding of types has led to weakness, with some varieties losing vigor and others lowered disease resistance. Some tomatoes lauded in articles and books don’t perform well in every garden, leaving gardeners disappointed in their performance.

To help overcome this problem, growers have taken to grafting tomatoes onto vigorous rootstocks, which lend better growth or disease resistance to the plant. Locally, gardeners have good selection of beloved heirlooms on sturdy roots.

“This region isn’t the best for growing tomatoes.

We have those lovely, cool evenings in summer, which we love but tomatoes hate,” says Sue Parsons, co-owner of Sweetheart Farms, who sell grafted tomatoes at the Boulder Farmer’s market. You can

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

get more fruit earlier on a generative rootstock that puts its energy into fruiting, a handy trait in our short growing season.

“I had a Brandywine set 50 tomatoes on one plant last year,” Parsons said, and one of her customers reported 23 Black Krim set and ripened on his grafted plant while the ungrafted Black Krim grown alongside of it only set one fruit.

Grafted plants cost more because the grower must raise two tomatoes to fuse together, she said, plus some of the grafts don’t take and the plants die. It takes a bit more to bring them to market but the results are worth it.

Caring for a grafted tomato differs from a standard one: you don’t plant them deeply. Along the lower part of its vine, tomatoes have lumps, called root initials that often develop into roots.

When this happens to a grafted tomato, the genetics of the top growth can take over, reducing or cancelling out the robust characteristics the rootstock provides. Plant them at the same level as they are in the pot, making sure that the graft line – you can clearly see it – is above the soil.

But once planted, treat them like you would other tomatoes and you’ll reap a bounty of love apples.

ASK ANGIE

Is it OK to install a roof in the rain?

Roof decking needs to be dry before applying any roofing material to avoid trapping moisture under the material. (Photo courtesy of member Ian D. of Sunland, Calif.)

Dear Angie: Is it OK to install a new roof while it’s raining? I’m having a new roof installed over 20-year-old (oriented strand board) sheathing.

It started raining during the install. Good news is that they did a section at a time, so the OSB was exposed to fairly light rain/drizzle for about a half-hour before peel and stick membrane

was installed. Is that a problem? – Sailor K., Tampa, Fla. Dear Sailor: A reputable contractor keeps tabs on the weather and won’t begin installing a roof if it’s raining or expected to rain. Doing so puts workers at risk of falling off a wet roof and unnecessarily exposes your home to damage for which they may be held liable.

By Angie Hicks, Angie’s List (TNS)

The OSB treatment That doesn’t mean that an unexpected rain or drizzle, as you indicated, won’t occur during the roof replacement. If it starts to rain or drizzle, the roofers should act quickly to cover your OSB – most likely with a tarp.

One of the roofing pros we spoke with says mist won’t affect OSB any more than the humidity that OSB absorbs on a hot day. OSB isn’t extremely sensitive to small amounts of water because resin and wax is manufactured into the layered product.

Also, the edges of the panels are treated with a sealant to resist moisture penetration.

Up on the roof, watch out for wet or wrinkled decks That said, pros say a new roof should never be

installed over wet wood or a wrinkled barrier.

Doing so goes against the building codes in most communities and the shingles won’t adhere.

When a roof deck is exposed to water and absorbs enough to swell, it should be allowed to dry out before any roofing material is applied to avoid trapping moisture under the roof material that could cause the edges to swell or buckle.

If your contractor discovers damaged decking while installing your roof, it should be sanded or replaced before the new roof is applied.

They should also make sure to properly vent the roof.

Check before you hire a roofing contractor Because many states don’t require roofing

contractors to be licensed, experts recommend checking your local building codes or meeting with a building inspector before hiring a roofing contractor. Read reviews on Angie’s List to find an experienced roofer who does quality work and carries liability insurance.

Before you hire anyone, ask what precautions the roofer will take if it starts to rain when they are installing the roof and come to an agreement before the job begins.

HOME FIX

Five ideas, tools to ease spring tasks Time goes by so fast I hardly realized it’s already spring.

I barely had time to put away my snow shovel and winter tools when I found myself mowing the lawn and thinking about spring repairs. Doing the necessary maintenance now will give you time to enjoy the summer days ahead. To help with spring maintenance, I have selected both established and dependable tools plus some newer ideas to help ease the duties of spring.

1. For a few years I have been using a wellestablished 40-volt Black & Decker string trimmer and have been very satisfied with how the tool performs. Black & Decker has recently launched its new PowerCommand™ Outdoor Power Tools and I am now trying the newer 20-volt Max EasyFeed string trimmer that extends the string with just the simple push of a button.

Both tools use extended life lithium batteries and Black & Decker’s advancing battery technology is

simplifying the lives of homeowners. The lighter weight 20-volt trimmer has additional features and is capable of doing most yards, but I’m old school and I still like the power of the 40-volt battery trimmer, which is also available.

Also available are the new 20V Max PowerBoost Sweeper and the 20V Max PowerCut Hedge Trimmer.

PowerCommand™ tools are available at retailers nationwide.

2. Spring maintenance often means having to touch up or repaint items exposed to the weather.

The problem I have, besides hating to paint, is the cleanup. I have tried to save expensive paint brushes by washing and then rinsing in a fabric softener or wrapping the brush in plastic food wrap and placing it in the freezer.

Now I use the Paint Saint, a paintbrush in a can solution that enables you to quickly and easily touch up paint. The high-quality brush is built into the lid of an airtight can. The brush never dries out and

never requires cleaning.

The lid twists off and on, no screwdrivers or mallets needed.

Inside ridges let you wipe off excess paint, and the lid serves as a drip catcher. No need for old newspapers or paint cloths.

Finally, you can effortlessly do touch-up jobs quickly and then easily store the tools. A single brush and can is available online at mypaintsaint.com.

3. One of my favorite old-school repair items is Duck Tape. It has been said there are 1,001 uses for Duck Tape. The standard silver color of Duck Tape, which I sometimes use as a temporary repair, is colored to remind me I need to remove the tape and finally make a more permanent repair. Duck Tape is also available in a large variety of colors and designs. Now Duck Tape has introduced Duck Tape Transparent Tints for craft or repair projects. Duck Tape now comes in three transparent tint shades that can be applied without hiding what’s beneath the tape.

By C. Dwight Barnett, Tribune News Service (TNS) It will bring a little pizazz to any project. ShurTech Brands, the maker of Duck Tape, is also introducing “T-Rex” which the manufacturer represents as “Ferociously Strong Tape” saying that is stronger and will hold longer than similar utility tapes. The tape is also said to be super durable, extra thick and sun resistant to work in all kinds of weather. For more information, visit ducktape.com or trextape. com.

4. Everyone knows the frustration that can happen when clutter takes over the garage or when it’s impossible to even open the door on the tool shed. No more unsightly pegboards or hanging tools from nails or screws fastened to the walls. The shelves designed for the home are really not strong enough to hold home and garden tools normally stored in a garage. These are all too common problems that can be easily solved with the storeWall system. The wall panels and accessory shelves, baskets, hooks,

totes and bins can be quickly installed to turn your chaotic garage or shed into an organized and accessible space. For information and pricing, go to storewall.com.

5. Outside air exhausts for bathrooms, kitchens and dryers and intake ports for high-efficiency appliances are always susceptible to pest infestation. A new and easy-to-install powdercoated metal product called The Defender can help protect your home from bird and rodent entry. The Defender comes in three sizes and several colors.

For more information and purchasing The Defender, as well as a variety of other venting products, visit betterventing.com/defender.

Getting your home ready for inspection BOULDER – The first thing you should do to get your home ready for an inspection is clean it.

A clean house says you care about and take care of it. Often buyers will meet the inspector for a walk through towards the end of an inspection and would feel uncomfortable asking questions if the owner is present. Try to schedule a time for the inspection when you can be out of the house for at least three hours and be on time. Sometimes home inspectors are early.

Leave all utilities turned on even if the house is 18

vacant. The inspector will need to turn on the stove, run the dishwasher, test the furnace and air conditioning etc. Without the utilities on, the inspector may have to reschedule, which could delay the closing of your transaction. Remove anything that may be blocking access to your furnace, air conditioner and water heater. The inspector will need three to four feet of working space to inspect these items.

Provide easy access to your basement and/or attic as well.

There should be easy

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Top 2016 trends in outdoor living (BPT) - Take a deep breath of fresh air. Feel the warm sunshine on your skin.

Kick back and listen to the peaceful sounds of nature.

There’s a reason people are investing in spaces that allow them to spend more time relaxing, dining and entertaining outside.

In addition to expanding livable space, outdoor enhancements also offer a strong return on investment at the time of sale.

Convinced this is the year you’re going to jump on the outdoor living bandwagon?

To refresh your space and start enjoying the outdoors from the comforts of home, consider the top outdoor living trends of 2016.

Eclectic design Homeowners are embracing the same eclectic trends that they love indoors and bringing this same design approach to their outdoor spaces.

Mixing materials is at

the heart of this trend.

From all-weather wicker and teak to concrete and aluminum, using different materials means creating durable spaces with one-ofa-kind looks. Beyond the hardscape, using a variety of patterns, textures and shapes adds visual appeal.

Upholstered soft seating This year, homeowners are revamping patios and decks by bringing the comforts of indoors outside. The perfect example of this movement is the use of upholstered furniture for the outdoors.

Arhaus Furniture offers a variety of upholstered sofas, sectionals and chairs that look just like the classics used indoors, but are specifically designed to withstand the elements outside.

Outdoor cooking Summer entertaining is enhanced when meals are

cooked outdoors. Home chefs are thinking beyond the grill to incorporate other useful mediums for al fresco cooking. For example, hearths and stone ovens offer undeniable outdoor ambiance while providing a unique way to cook pizzas, bread and other baked goods. The finishing touch: add an herb garden for quick access to the fresh flavors of the season.

Customization Customizing helps create outdoor spaces that are a reflection of the homeowners’ personalities.

More than just personalized decor, the customization trend is evident in outdoor furniture. Expert stylists at Arhaus.com offer complementary design services including space design, product selection and

customization with a wide variety of outdoor fabrics so they can get the exact look they desire.

Evening entertaining Outdoor entertainment shouldn’t be restricted by daylight, so homeowners are making thoughtful additions to ensure when dusk arrives the party can go on. Strategic deck lighting on posts and stairways illuminates gathering spaces. Torches, pathway lighting and string lights are great for landscaped areas. Finally, propane and citronella gel fueled fire pits are the ideal gathering place and bugs

will stay far away.

Reconstructed stone Reconstructed stone is in demand for tabletops on dining, coffee and accent tables. When researching options, it’s important to remember not all reconstructed stone is created equal. For example, Arhaus makes reconstructed stone out of composite concrete so it’s lighter, less brittle and withstands weather well.

Even when left outside year-round at the company headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, there was no cracking, color fading or changes to material.

DESIGN RECIPES

Boulder County Gold Award

The unexpected uses of stone

15 years in a row!

By Cathy Hobbs, Tribune News Service (TNS) Traditionally, furniture is made of wood or metal, because of their appealing aesthetic quality and durability. These days, there is a new material many designers and homeowners are considering: stone. Granted, stone is an unlikely material choice for furniture-building, but in the design community, stone is quickly building momentum and gaining popularity.

Why stone?

Stone has long been a desirable material. Available in a host of colors and variations as well as durability, stone provides longlasting quality. Even so, stone is considerably more expensive than traditional materials. For those looking for one-of-a-kind designs and craftsmanship, stone is a creative alternative. From light marble to agate and dark blue tiger eye, the outcome of your furniture piece can be either light and bright or dark, smoky and rich.

One slight warning: Stone pieces are extremely heavy and even small pieces can require more than one person to lift or move.

How stone pieces are made While stone furniture appears to be entirely made of stone from the outside, in most cases, the piece begins with a wood foundation or mold, and then large pieces of stone are veneered onto parts of the foundation. The goal in creating such a piece is to have as few seams as possible. The fewer the seams, the smoother and more cohesive the piece will look.

Types of furniture that can be made into stone The beauty of stone is that it no longer has limitations. The advantage of working with a custom designer or craftsman opens up a world of possibilities.

From console tables to table bases, table lamps and even chairs, stone can be used to create nearly any piece of furniture.

If you are on a budget, stone isn’t likely the option for you.

Essentially when you buy a stone furniture piece, you are not only buying the stone itself, but you will also be paying for all of the design, May 13-14, 2016
