More Coloradans doubling-up at home Doubling-up or sharing a home with friends, roommates or family members isn’t new, but it is on the rise.

Colorado’s doubled-up households grew

BY TOM to 25 percent in KALINSKI 2017 compared RE/MAX of Boulder to 20 percent in 2006, bringing the total to more than the Great Recession of 20072009, according to a report by Shift Research Lab. While choices around housing are often driven by the cost of housing, many factors may come into play, such as childcare, transportation and other needs that make living in a multigenerational household advantageous. There’s no one profile of a doubled-up household – there are many.

Shift Research Lab reports doubled-up households are family members and non-family, are headed by single people, single parents, and married couples, and occur in all age groups. These households may live in a rented home or owner-occupied homes.

But the data reported shows some groups are more often in doubled-up households than others.

For example, doubled-up family households are more than twice as common as non-family with 405,000 in the family category and 155,000 non-families.

Age also weighs in with 20 percent containing children under six and 75 percent of those with children under five years of age headed by a single parent. An even larger percentage, 25 percent, include one or more seniors over 65.

Almost half of the family households, or 180,000, are headed by Boomers with

Colorado’s doubled-up households grew to 25 percent in 2017 compared to 20 percent in 2006. (Photo: Daria Shevtsova/Pexels).

Generation X heads of households a close second, at 153,000.

Generation X are those born in the years between baby boomers and millennials.

In the 155,000 non-family households, millennials take the lead as head of household at 93,000. The predominant doubled-up non-family household is one containing roommates.

Homeownership tilts the scale toward doubling-up as well.

More than half – 60 percent – of doubled-up households have the owner of the home living with them.

As time moves forward, changing demographics and shifts in housing affordability stand to affect the trend of doubling-up.

The Colorado State Demography Office reports many Boomers are entering the 65+ age group, resulting in an increase of six percent per year. By 2030, the state predicts the 65+ group will rise to 1.27 million, a 77 percent

increase from 2015. A majority of older residents have lived in Colorado for more than 20 years, and many say they don’t plan to leave.

Millennials, too, will continue to age and potentially increase their earning power, have children and experience other life changes that could affect their choice of living arrangements.

A short history of Samhain Think of Halloween and what springs to mind? If Tootsie rolls and dum-dums, snickers, or Reese’s are how you celebrate Samhain, you

BY CAROL might want to O’MEARA brush up on Colorado State your history. The University Extension, Boulder County most important of the Celtic fire festivals has a lot more to offer.

Samhain is the last day of the Celtic year, celebrating the end of harvest and beginning of winter as well as the light half of the year giving way to the dark. The Celts believed that on this night the veil between the world of the living and the dead was thinnest, when ghosts returned to walk the earth. What those ghosts are looking for is open to speculation; I think they’re searching for the tomatoes the squirrels stole from the garden.

Bonfires were lit and from them home hearth fires, left to

gutter out during harvest, were relit. Because monsters and dead relatives were believed to be wandering about, to avoiding running into them, people dressed in costumes of animal skins and masks. These shapeshifting monsters – called Púca – could be convinced to leave a homestead alone if given treats.

Original foods of this festival mirrored the bounty of the land the Celts called home, though Samhain was primarily celebrated in Ireland and Great Britain.

Walnuts, chestnuts and hazelnuts all had a role in some traditions of Samhain, particularly in helping young women divine their future husbands.

Unmarried women would take several nuts, name each one for their prospective lovers, then toss them in the fire to see which burned out or stayed lit the longest. The nut that burned the longest represented the truest lover for her to set her sights on. There are no records of this actually working, but it probably had as much success as the online dating services I’ve heard about.

doorsteps, graves, or roadsides to feed hungry ghosts and convince them to not make mischief on that homeowner’s crops or livestock.

Irish immigrants fleeing the famine arrived in America with traditions in tow, and quickly traded the turnip for pumpkins when carving Jack-O-Lanterns.

Leaving treats to appease the dead gave way to children knocking on our doors instead, and a multimillion-dollar industry was born.

If you’re looking for fresh décor this month, grab some apples, nuts, pumpkins, and turnips for the table centerpiece. Light a candle on October 31, place it in the window, and don’t talk to Púca.

Once the Romans conquered Europe and Britain, their settlers brought their beliefs with them, including Pomona, goddess of fruit and trees. She is often depicted with an apple, and as the Romans blended their religion with the Celtic ones, apples became part of Samhain traditions.

As Christianity spread its influence, many pagan beliefs were incorporated into their celebrations, including Samhain.

Over time, Catholic Popes moved the religious observance for tributes to martyrs from May 13 to November 1, added saints into the mix, and finally tossed in honoring anyone who had died on All Hallow’s day (today it’s known as All Soul’s day).

It was at this time that Samhain became “All-hallowseven” then “Hallow Eve,” still later “Hallowe’en” and then of course Halloween. But the belief in wandering spooks remained, and people placed lit candles in windows or carved turnips to ward off evil. Soul cakes were popular for offerings left on

The Pedal Group team is an invaluable resource for buyers and sellers in Boulder’s high-demand market. (Photo: Jonathan Castner).

REAL ESTATE NEWS

The Pedal Group is formed from merger of Pedal to Properties with Compass Real Estate

By Judy Finman, At Home When you blend technology, innovation, years of experience and a solid reputation for incomparable service, you create The Pedal Group at Compass Colorado located in Boulder.

After 13 years helping clients buy and sell homes in Boulder County, Pedal To Properties has joined Compass, a technologydriven real estate company that has revolutionized the industry since its launch in 2012. In the merger, a new name, The Pedal Group, works perfectly.

“We were recruited to merge our company with Compass, and with this move, we’re supercharging our long-standing expertise with unprecedented real estate innovation,” says Tim Shea, Realtor® and Principal of The Pedal Group.

Tim started at Pedal to Properties in the spring of 2010 as a Realtor, then purchased the company in late 2012 and now is merging it with Compass.

“I considered a couple of other strategic partnerships with local real estate companies over the last couple of years, but the Compass opportunity clearly stood out as 4

AT HOME COLORADO

the best option for all of the Pedal to Properties agents and myself.”

Chris Sweeney, one of the original founders of Pedal to Properties in 2006, who was the Managing Broker over the last seven years, is now also a Principal of the Pedal Group at Compass.

The Pedal Group team is an invaluable resource for buyers and sellers in Boulder’s high-demand market.

Tim explains, “Through Compass’ expansive broker network and robust, best-in-class technology and marketing, our 16 Pedal Group agents will be even better positioned to support

our clients’ real estate needs.

Compass offers our agents a variety of services, with unique programs such as Compass Concierge, where we’ll front the cost of home improvements to sell your home faster and for more money, with no hidden fees or interest charged; innovation from dedicated product and engineering teams, and a proprietary suite of tools; marketing by worldclass designers, strategists and producers behind the Compass brand, developing sophisticated and impactful materials; and a community that comprises a large agent network across 22-plus

major markets to source potential buyers and assist in relocating sellers.”

With all these changes, Shea is reassuring. “As The Pedal Group, you can expect us to be the same hard working, Boulder-obsessed team that you’ve loved working with in the past – only better.

We’re in a more powerful position to provide a higher level of service to our buyers and sellers. And we still ride bikes to houses.”

And that’s not all. Tim points out other remarkable benefits at Compass that agents receive – and from which their clients also ultimately benefit.

“There is close to a 1 in 5 ratio for Compass employees who support the agents. In other words, for every five agents there is one full-time support staff member. The support staff includes an Agent Success Manager, a Sales Manager, a Products Expert (for the online tools for agents and customers), an IT expert, a full-time and in-house Transaction Coordinator, an Office Manager and a Marketing Advisor.

All of these employees are at the disposal of the agents. That type of support is literally unheard of in the real estate industry. Also, in terms of company benefits that might be appealing to future agents who may want to join the Pedal Group, Compass also offers health insurance benefits and stock option benefits. Again, these are rare benefits in the real estate industry.”

Local Realtors who may be interested in joining the Pedal Group at Compass are invited to contact Tim Shea by e-mail at tim.shea@compass.com or call 303.819.1371.

Contacting The Pedal Group at Compass Real Estate The Pedal Group is located at 1434 Spruce Street, Suite 100 in Boulder. Call 303.819.1371.

The inspiration behind The Pedal Group Boulder is known as a biking town. Riding a bicycle is a fun way to see the sights and experience the town like a local. Boulder is relatively small and compact with bike paths and lanes everywhere, and it is mostly flat which makes it easy to bike around town. Bikes are also a great way to slow down and connect with the rhythms of a neighborhood where you might want to buy a house.

“That was the inspiration behind the Pedal to Properties brand when the agency was founded in 2006,” says Owner Tim Shea. “Known as the funloving guys with the bikes, it’s been apparent over the years that the Pedal to Properties brand is as

much about promoting a healthy lifestyle – since our agents tend to lead healthy, active lives. Of course, you don’t have to ride bikes around town to see our home listings; we mainly use cars for that!”

But the bike represents the company’s culture and values, “and the healthy lifestyle that we aspire to.

As a group our 16 agents are pretty active. We work hard, and we believe it’s important to also set aside time for non-work passions. Our culture at The Pedal Group means that we take care of each other’s clients as well as our own. If you work with The Pedal Group, the whole office has your back.”

REALTOR FOR LIFE

Selling your home, downsizing or just getting rid of junk?

One of the basics of selling your home, or enjoying it to the fullest, is getting rid of clutter. As they say, a cluttered home means a cluttered mind

BY DUANE – and often DUGGAN chaos in your Realtor and Author life. However, if RE/MAX of Boulder you have been trying to get rid of clutter for years, it might be time to call in a professional to get the job done.

In the last three years, I have personally had the occasion to help two elderly family members make the move from their “forever homes” to senior housing. It’s no easy task deciding what should be kept or removed during a very emotional time.

In anticipation of the Daily Camera’s Aging at Altitude Expo, an event which presents services and seminars to help seniors, I interviewed Susie Regnier to hear her insights. Susie owns an organizing and decluttering business, ClutterLess Boulder (ClutterLessBoulder.com), which has been helping homeowners for a decade. She has helped several clients move out of their “forever” family home into assisted living situations.

According to Susie, “one of the major benefits of having a third-party help with the process is the fact that it can be a very emotional and sentimental time of life. When somebody has raised a family and lived in a home 40 years, they often think everything needs to go to the new location.”

In her years in the business, Susie shares, “I have learned to take a compassionate yet practical approach to help homeowners determine what actually needs to make the move. A third party can be the facilitator for getting the job done, which otherwise might continue to be put off.”

Like most things in life, Susie says, “the earlier you can get started in the decluttering process the better. One of the simplest things is getting rid of duplicates!

For example, if there are only two people left in the house, does the kitchen still need 20 coffee mugs? Early on, it is important to assemble all the key players to determine what items are actually 8

family heirlooms versus just an old couch.” In fact, this process goes a few steps further. “In most cases, all the belongings can be divided into four categories.

The first and most important are family heirlooms, like the 150-year-old grandfather clock, and whether a family member will take the item now, or if it will be moved to the new location.

Next is the ‘move to new location’ category. These are items that will both fit in and be used in the new location. The third category includes the items that should be donated to charity. Fourth and final are the items for which it is really time to go to the dumpster or to recycling.”

To help with the third category, Susie says, “most professional organizers will maintain a list of charities that are reputable so that the homeowner knows the items being donated will likely find a good home.” Susie maintains connections with a variety of charities, so she knows which items are the best fit at the best time for the appropriate charity.

Taking that first step to

declutter is often the hardest.

As a professional organizer, Susie’s initial approach is to walk through the entire home and assess the overall situation.

She needs to know everything about the new location, too. For instance, if there is no garage in the new location, it makes the decision about what to do with all the stuff in the garage a lot easier.

It takes great deal of planning to determine what will make the move from, for example, a twostory four-bedroom home, to 500 square feet of new living space.

Hiring a professional organizer Most professional organizers charge by the hour and on a case-by-case basis – for small and large projects – and they will provide an estimate for the total job. Typically, this expert is more of a consultant and does not actually move the belongings. The organizer usually has a network of home service providers and moving companies who can help complete all the details of the move. The professional organizer will often work hand in hand with

Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) Realtors® have made an effort to learn about senior housing choices to help those who are 50+ with home selling, home buying, relocation, or refinancing their residential and investment properties. In fact, the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) has created a specific designation, the Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES), which addresses this.

Realtors who earn this special designation take classes about housing options, financial needs, estate planning and more to help seniors and their families with the financial and emotional challenges of selling the family home and moving on to the next chapter in their life.

Duane Duggan has been a Realtor for RE/MAX of Boulder in Colorado since 1982 and has facilitated over 2,500 transactions over his career, the vast majority from repeat and referred clients.

He has been awarded two of the highest honors bestowed by RE/MAX International: The Lifetime Achievement Award and the Circle of Legends Award.

Nine tips for selling your Boulder County house in our flat market house events in the county do not attract the same attendance as city ones.

6. Have a flexible schedule Make sure your house is ready to show at all times so prospective buyers can see it. Clean up before heading off to work in case someone wants to come by at the last minute, which very often happens. Don’t be tempted to hang around during showings; it makes potential buyers feel uncomfortable, thus they rush through your property.

After years of a sellers’ market, Boulder County home prices have flattened, and home supplies are higher than demand. (Photo: Ann Cantelow/Shutterstock).

After years of a sellers’ market, Boulder County home prices have flattened, and home supplies are higher than demand. If you’re buying,

BY KAREN it’s good news.

LIBIN If you’re selling KL Realty it doesn’t mean your house won’t get sold, just that you (and your Realtor) have to work a bit harder and smarter to do so. Here are nine tips for selling your home in our changing housing market: 1. Get your house in good shape Deep cleaning, fixing or replacing damaged items, paint touch-up, de-cluttering and depersonalizing are all must-dos. If your house is dated it probably doesn’t make financial sense to remodel, but does pay to address big-impact issues such as bright/dark paint or worn carpet. Don’t underestimate the importance of outdoor areas, especially given our indoor/ outdoor Colorado lifestyle.

Take a look online at comps (competitive local homes for sale in your size/price range) to get an idea of what’s expected. Higherend homes are often staged with October 11-12, 2019

modern neutral décor that is light and airy. You may not have the budget to do this, but you can remove items from your home to achieve a more open feeling.

2. Price your home correctly If you want to sell your home in a timely manner, this is absolutely, hands-down the most crucial task.

Your Realtor should provide you with a market analysis including comps that dictate what a proper selling price should be. Take your Realtor’s advice! Sellers often think they “need to get as much as they can” and over-price their property. Instead of snagging that one buyer who’s willing to pay more than market value, they usually just drive away potential buyers who look elsewhere while the overpriced property sits on the market and becomes seen as old, stale and rejected.

3. Make sure you have good home photos Most buyers study online photos of a home before deciding to set up a showing. If the photos of your home do it no justice you’re sabotaging your sale.

There is a great variance in the quality of home photos taken, and good Realtors recognize this. When selecting a Realtor, review the photos of homes

they’ve represented, and how well these homes are presented in all marketing materials.

4. Compare Realtors’ marketing methods Besides photos, when choosing a Realtor, compare their other marketing efforts. Do they place ads in the newspaper or magazines? Do they send direct mail? What is their website like?

Will they host parties and open houses (noted below)? Some Realtors do a lot, and others do practically nothing at all. A good Realtor will present you with a proposed marketing plan.

5. Have open houses Open houses fill many purposes in terms of marketing homes.

Luckily, anxious buyers drive around looking at homes for sale and going to open houses. Some homes just do not photograph as well as they look in person. Other houses that maybe aren’t so great are in wonderful neighborhoods, which increase their appeal.

Buyers often go to an open house above their supposed budget – “Why not? We’re here anyway!”

– a house they wouldn’t set up a showing to see. In some cases, these buyers fall in “house love” and somehow “find” the money to buy said home. But note that open

7. Be patient We’re all a bit used to our sellers’ market with multiple offers coming in within the first few weeks a property is listed. But those days are gone unless you underprice your property. Our “new normal” means you may have to wait several months for an offer.

8. Stay cool during negotiations If a potential buyer comes in with an offer you consider too low, resist the urge to snub them in disgust. It takes a considerable amount of paperwork to make a formal offer, so even a low bid denotes interest. Do a counter offer. You have nothing to lose and you never know what may happen, especially if the offer comes from a couple with two minds on the issue.

9. Re-assess as needed If you have no activity, your house is just sitting with scant showings and no offers; you have two options: drop the price immediately, or take it off the market and put it back on again later. Feedback from your showings should give you some clues as to what the problem is with your home. But usually, it all comes down to the price relative to comparable properties currently available.

COVERPROFILE

T

he stage is set for Sunday’s Grand Openings at two new Markel Homes communities in Lafayette. The public is invited to tour the three bedroom, three bath town home model at Blue Sage and the three bedroom, two bathroom contemporary cottage model at Silver Creek. A dessert food truck will be on-site in both locations. Interested buyers are encouraged to stop by this Sunday between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. for a firsthand look at two of the hottest home products design-leader Markel Homes has introduced in years.

Blue Sage Grand Opening 2004 Foxtail Lane Unit B, Lafayette Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Town home-style triplexes at Blue Sage Farmhouse and Prairie architectural styles catapult into the 21st century thanks to the creative rooflines, huge windows, and amenities like Energy StarÂŽ appliances and smart thermostats in the town homes at Blue Sage.

The unique footprint features three units in one building, each with a private entrance, outdoor living and single-car garage. White oak flooring, stainless steel appliances, and quartz tops in the kitchen and baths add to the contemporary aesthetic.

The main floor features open living, dining and kitchen plus a powder room. Two en-suite bedrooms with baths occupy the upper level. The lower level houses a rec room, third bedroom, and third full bath. A selection of town homes, including the model, feature a finished lower level. The remaining units offer an optional lower level finish. Pricing starts at $404,900.

AT HOME COLORADO

Natural light streams into the open main floor of the three bedroom, three bathroom town home model with finished lower level at Blue Sage in west Lafayette, open this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Grand Openings in Lafayette this Sunday: Blue Sage and Silver Creek from Markel Homes Town home and contemporary cottage models from Markel Homes open for touring at Grand Openings this Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Community garden, trail access and nearby Hecla Lake Visitors to Blue Sage pass the attractive community garden with row after row of planter boxes available to homeowners with a green thumb. Outdoor and exercise enthusiasts appreciate the trails that run along the perimeter of the neighborhood and link to the network that weaves throughout Boulder County. Homeowners can walk or cycle to Hecla Lake in North End, another Markel Homes community, and Waneka Lake Park in Lafayette. Located

two blocks north of South Boulder Road at Cimarron Drive, Blue Sage sits midway between Highway 287 in Lafayette and Main Street in Louisville. Residents enjoy restaurant and shopping choices galore.

Six more cottages released this weekend Keeping up with the demand has been a challenge for the cottage construction crews at Silver Creek.

Previous releases have sold out quickly. Obtainable pricing is one reason for their popularity.

The 2000 Two-Story Alley Load Modern Farmhouse under construction at Blue Sage features an open plan, 10-foot main floor ceilings, main floor study, and vaulted master suite with five-piece bath and walk-in closet.

A blooming community garden welcomes visitors to Blue Sage, a community of town home-style triplexes, single-family homes, and trails that lead to Hecla Lake Open Space at North End in Louisville.

Everyone loves the Silver Creek playground The climbing structures, boulders, and shallow stream at the Silver Creek playground and picnic area are a home run with children of every age. Parents love the playground as much as the kids.

Trail access is a given from Silver Creek, connecting cyclists, runners, and walkers to the area’s well-developed trail system. The Bob Burger Rec Center, Pioneer Elementary School, Lafayette Skate Good news for buyers! Six more contemporary cottages are releasing this weekend to coincide with the Grand Opening at Silver Creek in central Lafayette. Pricing starts at $434,900.

The homes are also impeccably designed and really cool.

Huge windows, upper level decks, distinctive rooflines and bold exterior colors and textures give the cottages their modern look. The open and airy interior features huge glass, white oak flooring, stainless steel appliances, quartz tops and sleek kitchen cabinetry. Shampoo niches in the baths and wall hooks at the garage entrance signal to the buyer that the architect paid attention to the details in creating these highly livable, sustainable single-family homes. Pricing for the cottages starts at $434,900.

Cottage buyers can feel good about their carbon footprint.

Like all single-family homes from Markel Homes, the cottages meet the advanced efficiency, comfort, and clean air standards of four leading industry programs: Zero Energy Home Ready, Energy Star®, LEED, and Indoor AirPLUS®. The net-net for the homeowner is lower energy costs, more comfortable surroundings, healthier indoor air, and peace of mind knowing the use of environmental resources was carefully monitored during the construction process.

ASK THE EXPERT

Winterize your home Our first snow and first hard freeze are expected this week. It’s time to winterize your home.

Take a few extra steps

BY RICK this winter JACQUEMARD to help your Flatirons Home home function Inspections at its best.

Winterizing your home is the best way to prepare for the cold temperatures ahead. Doing some of these simple things may also remove some items from a home inspectors report should you decide to put your home on the market. At the very least it could save you some money. The list includes but is not limited to:

Trim your trees. When tree branches are weighed down with snow, they can cause significant damage. Are there any limbs that could possibly knock out power to your home or limbs that could hit your home or car if they broke off during a winter snow storm? Will limbs rub on your roof or siding when they have a snow load?

Over time, your door’s weather stripping can become damaged from the elements. This creates unwelcome drafts of cold. Check your doors and windows for leaks.

Walk around your home on a chilly night and, using bare hands and feet, feel around your doors, windows, lights and switch plates for cold air. You will need to either add insulation to these areas or seal them using weather-stripping, caulk or spray foam.

Clean your gutters. Clean gutters can help prevent the buildup of ice on your roof. The faster that water can drain away, the less likely it is to melt and then refreeze on your roof or under your shingles. In addition, clean gutters reduce the risk of pest infestation and decrease the risk of mold in your home. If you find any damage to your gutters or downspouts have it repaired as soon as possible.

Have your ceiling fans push warm air down from the ceiling.

It is common practice to use ceiling fans in summer months, but they can help in the winter as well. Have your ceiling fans move in a clockwise direction so they push hot air from the ceiling towards the floor. If they’re going counterclockwise, they won’t be as effective.

During winter months, the last thing you want is an inefficient furnace. Before the winter begins, make sure you inspect your HVAC system to ensure it’s working properly. It’s also a good time to change your furnace filter. If you’re wondering how often you should change your furnace filter, the EPA recommends every month during winter, as a dirty filter can slow down your HVAC’s efficiency to warm your home. Before you start running your furnace, change the filter. In winter months, change the filter every four to six weeks.

Having a clean filter helps your furnace run more efficiently, which can save you energy and money.

Install a programmable thermostat. The US Department of Energy reports that you can save as much as one percent on your

energy bill for every degree you lower your home’s temperature during winter months. Installing a programmable thermostat can save you money by keeping the temperature down when you’re not at home or asleep.

Flush your water heater.

Particles and sediment can collect over time in the bottom of your water heater, hindering the unit’s efficiency. Flush the water through the drain valve to clear out the material and keep your heater functioning at its best.

Your lawn will thank you in the spring if you took the time to prepare it for the cold weather ahead. Blow out your sprinkler system. Rake all your leaves, ideally before the first snow. Once you’ve cut your lawn for the last time, you’ll want to make sure your lawn mower is also ready for the cold ahead. Don’t leave gas sitting in the lawn mower over the winter. A fuel stabilizer will help keep your gas ready for spring if you haven’t run out yet. Clean off your lawn mower and remove the battery if applicable.

You can have a warm and cozy home this winter, it just takes a few steps to give you complete peace of mind. Taking care of these simple tasks can also help you reduce the number of items on a home inspectors list, prevent damage to your home and save money on utility bills. Prepare for winter now, and you’ll be glad you did when cold weather arrives.

DESIGN RECIPES

The do's and don'ts of hanging pictures, mirrors

A series of mirrors adds interest to this living room. (Photo: Design Recipes/TNS).

By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service Most people hang artwork and mirrors too high to create an 14

AT HOME COLORADO

aesthetically pleasing look. In theory, art and mirrors should be displayed in relationship to the furniture or object below it.

In many cases, hanging artwork or mirrors so the centerline falls within the range of 54 to 57 inches above the floor works best.

Looking for art and mirror tips?

We've assembled some of our favorites.

DO: 1. Hang identical abstract pieces of art in a series.

2. Substitute artwork for mirrors along long walls and hallways.

3. Use classic or black-and-white prints to create interest.

4. Add mirrors in a windowless space to help give the illusion of windows.

5. Consider telling a color story through the use of mirrors and artwork.

DON'T: 1. Forget to pay attention to what objects are reflected in mirrors.

2. Forget to add pops of color into a room through the use of artwork.

3. Hang artwork or mirrors that are too small, as it will

visually clutter a space.

4. Overlook the opportunity to create vignettes with hung artwork and mirrors.

5. Be afraid to frame travel prints captured during that favorite vacation, or even children's artwork.

Going mad for plaid

By Katie Laughridge Tribune News Service Have I mentioned how excited I am that it’s officially plaid season?

I could blame my obsession with plaid on Brandon’s Scottish heritage, or perhaps it’s my background and admiration for sewing, quilting and weaving, where I see the true art that goes into creating the patterns.

Regardless, I am a year-round lover of plaid – tartan, gingham, check, houndstooth, tattersall – I will take them all! The autumn and winter months are when this trendy but timeless textile gets the most attention. I am so excited to show how we incorporate this beautiful pattern into our decor.

As you may know, the patterns found in plaids were originally crafted to serve as a marker for the different clans and families in Scotland. As colorful as the highlands themselves, plaid is now a popular fabric that has been reinvented over and over. Its rich history just makes me fall even more in love.

One of our favorite places to feature plaid is our tabletops. Pops of plaid can have a great impact on your table in plenty of spots.

From seat cushions to accessories, the possibilities are endless. A plaid tablecloth makes for a bold foundation for your holiday tabletop. For a softer touch, we use our favorite plaids by mixing and matching table runners and napkins to create a look full of depth and texture.

A versatile way to bring this fantastic pattern into your home is with a classic throw blanket.

Just think about curling up under a warm and stylish plaid, a cup

of hot tea in your hand and your favorite fall scent burning nearby – pure cool-weather heaven.

Besides the obvious comfort, plaid blankets are a beautiful addition to chair backs and sofas alike. At Mary Carol’s cottage, she stacks them up high by her fireplace to create a gorgeous and functional display. Another trick for a throw is to toss it on your table. That’s right, a throw blanket makes a creative table cover! And yes, you can mix plaids, so don’t be afraid to toss some plaid pillows in with your throw on your sofa or favorite chair.

There are so many ways to incorporate plaid into your home, from upholstery to bows and ornaments, even bookshelves!

This is a pattern that won’t fade with the holidays – it will stick around all season to bring warmth and richness to your rooms. Have no fear year-round plaid lovers – there is always madras for when the weather turns again!
