Home tour can spur home ideas, local designer says

Photo courtesy: Design Studio

By Cynthia Harding

O

ut with the old, in with the new. If there’s a season associated with that sentiment, it’s spring – time for cleaning, time for planting a garden, time for freshening up your space.

If you have such a renewal in mind, the 2018 Flatirons Tour of Homes may be just the type of weekend infotainment you’re looking for.

Over two weekends, May 5-6 and May 12-13, visitors will be able to see 22 homes, both new and remodeled in Boulder County and suburbs north of Denver. The tour’s offerings range from luxury dwellings to starter homes and include active living, lowmaintenance and green homes.

Appropriately enough, that just the kind of breadth of design experience offered by Boulder’s Design Studio Interior Solutions, a sponsor of the tour.

The tour can serve as a valuable tool for those looking to remodel or redesign their homes, says Design Studio CEO and Owner Judy Goldman.

“It allows people to stand in the space, determine and pay attention to what works for them and what does not work for them,” she says.

“Do they like a large kitchen island or a small kitchen island? It gives the an opportunity to stand in the space, walk around and stand in various spots. You expose yourself to the way the space feels. You can look with an eye toward what you lean toward and what you lean away from.”

And take notes!

Goldman says that keeping a record of your likes and dislikes makes it easier to communicate with a designer when you are looking to remodel or redesign your home.

“Go to a designer. Say ‘I liked all these things. How do I think about bringing that into my home,’” she advises.

Goldman should know. Her firm recently moved into a brand new, 6,000-square-foot space on the corner of Spine and Lookout in Boulder.

Goldman says Colorado is different than some other parts of the country when it comes to design.

“The trend is to use space wisely, (rather than) want to be better than the Joneses,” she says. “It how you make your space work for the way you live with kids, dogs, outdoor sports. It’s designed for a person’s lifestyle.”

That includes “making the home more liveable and bright, and bringing in the outdoors,” she says.

“It’s taking advantage of the beautiful skies outside and the weather.”

As you might expect in a place so influenced by the outdoors, Coloradans prefer a more natural color pallette, Goldman says. The relatively neutral background allows the designer to create a big splash in certain areas.

Sometimes the design team uses murals for a special effect, such as when they did a bathroom wall of blues and whites that looked like a watercolor painting.

Goldman adds that wallpaper is

back with new, stunning patterns, and multi-layer draperies can create a lovely layered effect that adds dimension to a room.

“We can take a neutral palette and change the windows and art, and it changes the composition,” she says.

Another tip from Goldman is to consider quality, especially when buying furniture.

“If you go out to a chain store, the life of the furniture is 3 to 5 years.

It’s made of plywood and cardboard,” she says. In contrast, a well-made piece of furniture lasts for many years, she adds. “You pay for reupholstery every 8, 12 or 20 years.”

She says the idea of buying high quality items meant to last is especially appealing in eco-conscious Colorado where the thought of furniture taking up space in a landfill is distressing to many people.

As for the kitchen, to many people the heart of the home, Goldman says customers are moving away from the austere, white look.

“They want the kitchen to reflect who they are and how they live,” she says.

One of the big developments in kitchens is number of materials that are now available, she adds.

“Technology is changing lighting, backsplashes, countertops, flooring and cabinetry,” Goldman says.

“It’s remarkable what’s happening.”

For example, you can install glass that can darken when you tap it to shade against the sun, a technology that comes from aviation.

Whether a client wants the latest technology or something more familiar, Goldman says the most important thing is listening to clients and helping them realize their vision.

“We’re very client-centric,” Goldman says. “What they bring to the table is their desire. We turn it into their reality.”

DREAMING OF NEW FLOORS?

Make it a reality with McDonald Carpet One.

By Julie Kailus

T

his is Boulder’s one-stop shop for home-remodeling help.

With so many modern styles on the market today, flooring can make a bold impact at home.

While Flatirons Tour of Homes will showcase some of these dream floors, McDonald Carpet One Floor & Home can bring this upgrade to life in any Boulder residence.

A local institution for more than four decades, McDonald Carpet One is a full-service flooring store

that maintains long-standing relationships with builders and contractors.

“We regularly work hand-inhand to create perfect spaces,” says Scott McDonald, who helps operate the family-run flooring store with his wife Kelley. “At the moment it seems like people are still interested in tile, but are moving towards hardwood again, usually in the hand-scraped or rustic looks – and in grey tones.”

McDonald Carpet One’s interactive showroom allows customers to touch and sample hardwoods, carpet, tile, laminate and vinyl, as well as talk to local pros about color, style, durability, cleaning and other key factors in choosing the right flooring product.

The store provides expert knowledge plus complete, professional installation, which certified crews mount in as little as two weeks after ordering flooring.

McDonald Carpet One Floor

and Home also offers other home improvement products and services, from Hunter Douglas window fashions to complement any room to hot-water-extraction cleaning to keep carpets looking like new.

In addition to delivering superior home flooring and remodeling services, McDonald Carpet One is also in the business of giving back to the community. The company sponsors youth programming, including Next Level kickball league and the Sanchez Elementary library. “We also just sponsored a Founder Fight boxing match,” Scott says. “Proceeds go to Forward Steps, a program that helps foster children of Colorado get a college education.”

To work on your home flooring dreams with a business that’s invested in Boulder, visit McDonald Carpet One at 6367 Arapahoe, call 720.432.2916 or start your research at mcdonaldcarpetoneboulder.com

A LOCAL RESOURCE WHEN

BUYING A HOME

Elevations Credit Union takes a holistic approach to mortgage lending

By Darren Thornberry

I

20

f buying a home sounds daunting, if figuring out where and how to get a mortgage gives you that nervous twitch, consider this: The No. 1 credit union mortgage lender in Colorado (No. 8 nationally) is right here in Boulder. Elevations Credit Union is not-for-profit; the Elevations team takes a holistic approach to mortgage lending.

But what does that really mean? Why Elevations and not some online vendor? Because Elevations takes time to learn about their members’ unique circumstances and goals and always considers how they can create the best experience for them. “Our mortgage team is here to help you,” says Elizabeth Million, vice president of mortgage lending. “If you’re just starting to look for a home, we can help you get your finances in order, evaluate your credit score, decide on the type of home you want and determine how much you can afford. Our loan officers are credit score experts – they can evaluate your credit score and provide coaching to improve it.”

Elevations conducts free seminars (open to the public) on all stages of the home-buying process throughout the year and

has information available all the time online. And if you’ve already moved through the first steps in the home-buying process, they can assist with selecting the best mortgage loan option for your situation, making an offer on a home, doing an inspection and closing on your loan.

THE HOUSING MARKET

The Front Range is all about high demand and low inventory.

According to Elevations, although mortgage rates have risen slightly over the last year, they remain relatively low, meaning it’s still a good time to buy. So what to do when it’s time to get in the market? First, get a preapproval from your mortgage lender to set yourself up for success in a competitive housing market.

Second, ask yourself two key questions: Are you willing to expand your search to outlying areas in order to access more options? New build only or is a home that might need renovations okay? Elevations’ mortgage team is here to help you walk through all of these factors.

Even in this competitive market, they have loan options that allow you to finance the purchase of your new home with as little as 3% down.

WHO’S A MEMBER?

In order to finance a home with the Elevations mortgage team, you can easily become a member

of Elevations Credit Union if you live or work in Adams, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Jefferson, Larimer or Weld counties. You can also become a member if you work or study at CU Boulder or Naropa University, if you’re related to someone who’s an Elevations member, or if you work for one of more than 200 employers and associations that have chosen to offer membership as a benefit to their employers.

You can also be eligible by giving a charitable donation to support Elevations Foundation, the charitable arm of the credit union that provides scholarships to local students, community grants to local organizations and much more. There are many ways to get on board!

Elevations Credit Union holds the No. 1 mortgage market position in Boulder County and is routinely named “Best Mortgage Lender” in various “Readers’ Choice Awards” publications.

Elevations was named one of the “Best Companies to Work for in Colorado” by COSHRM two years in a row. Their team has earned a reputation for excellence, and they’d be thrilled to help get you into your home, so stop by the office today, check them out online, or call for more information.

THE RIGHT FLOOR CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE The crew at Longmontbased Carpet Masters of Colorado can help find the perfect floor for your home.

By Adam Goldstein

T

he right floor can make a big difference in making your house feel more like a home.

Forget, for a moment, the rest of the living space – the walls and windows, furniture and decorations. A top-notch floor can tie the rest of a home together; it can create the aesthetic tone and set the literal foundation for the rest of the space.

That means that homeowners shouldn’t be careless or casual when picking out a new floor.

Carpet, tile, hardwood – all of these options set a specific tone in terms of decors and offer different advantages and drawbacks.

Choosing the right option for a specific room is hardly accidental – it takes careful planning and precise consideration.

Happily, making these choices doesn’t have to be overly stressful; finding the right flooring expert can make the experience enjoyable rather than stressful. A qualified, invested professional who can steer homeowners through the process of selecting the proper flooring option can make all the difference in the world for homeowners looking to create the perfect living space.

The crew at Longmont-based Carpet Masters of Colorado know how to make this process as anxiety-free as possible. Owner Mishelle Nauman and her crew of professionals have 30 years of experience in guiding Colorado customers through all the best options for every different kind of lifestyle and living space. This locally owned business may have the word “carpet” in its name, 26

but its services and options cover every kind of flooring option, from hardwood to tile to laminate, vinyl and area rugs, Nauman is quick to point out. Even window treatments fall under the Carpet Masters’ purview.

With all of these tools at their disposal, the professionals at Carpet Masters of Colorado pride themselves on creating the perfect, individualized plan for every room and every occupant.

Function can be a key factor in finalizing a floor. For example, since carpet tends to muffle sound much more effectively than hardwood or vinyl, it may be the ideal fit for a study, a bedroom or any other space where silence may be welcomed. On the other hand, hard-surface floors can be easy to clean and maintain, which make them ideal options for bathrooms, kitchens and other spaces that are liable to draw more traffic or see more wear and tear.

Of course, aesthetics make a difference when it comes to making the final flooring decision.

The perfectly colored tile or carpet can make a 1970s-era home feel modern, and a vibrant design can bring a completely new spirit to a familiar room. Paired with lighting effects from window treatments, these touches can make all the difference in repurposing and reinventing any kind of space.

Carpet Masters have plenty of resources in place to ensure that this process is smooth and

hassle-free. They take their role as a local business seriously – Colorado poses its own challenges for homeowners when it comes to weather and conditions, and Carpet Masters offers materials that are proven to work well in the Centennial State. For example, all of their composite wood products, hardwood, plywood and other materials are CARB 2 compliant, which means that they won’t emit any hazardous materials into your home. Similarly, the shop’s materials meet strict standards set by the National Wood Flooring Association.

Quality raw materials are only part of the formula. The Carpet Masters crew know that there isn’t any single successful formula when it comes to designing and installing the perfect floor and window scheme. That’s why they prepare the materials in-house and employ skilled installers who are also experienced craftsmen.

This approach ensures an individualized, unique approach to every job. Whether you’re looking to create a Southwestinspired tile scheme, summon a rustic, Colorado-cabin feel or create the perfect lighting scheme via fashionable window treatments, Carpet Masters is on hand to create the tools to make your vision a reality.

BOULDER’S LUXURY LEADERS

Every home is a Landmark, according to the professionals at Colorado Landmark, Realtors.

olorado Landmark, Realtors has a rich history. It was founded in downtown Boulder in 1977 by Joel Ripmaster, who still heads this well-known local company.

Ripmaster has provided many years of service to the Boulder real-estate community.

He is a former director of the Boulder Board of Realtors, was the original President’s Elite Award winner for Colorado, is Realtor Emeritus of the National Association of Realtors, and is the recipient of many national top producer awards for more than four decades.

Today, 65 agents in two offices share his passion for Boulder County, and they combine in-depth knowledge of the community with the latest technology to meet their clients’ needs. The agency serves every community in Boulder County and the surrounding areas. It attracts clients with a wide variety 36

of real estate needs, and continues to be known as the leader in luxury real estate.

Buying or selling a home is a Landmark occasion in anyone’s life. Working with buyers and sellers, this locally-owned boutique agency pursues one clear goal: to provide the highest quality real estate and relocation services to its clients, giving them unparalleled support and guidance each step of the way.

Colorado Landmark, Realtors consistently outperforms its competition. It benefits from exclusive affiliations with two highly selective organizations with an international reach: The first is Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, leadingre.com, the largest global network of premier local independent firms. It is recognized worldwide as the standard of excellence in real estate.

GET MOVING

You choose your dream home – let Taylor Moving handle the details.

By Emma Castleberry

W

hile Taylor Moving, LLC, wasn’t founded until 1997, Co-Owner Glen Taylor was helping families move long before that. “I had a friend driving for United and I jumped on a truck with him and moving got into my blood,” he says. “From there, I started freelancing with other companies and van lines and eventually figured I could do my own thing a little nicer.” Taylor says the key to a great moving experience is attention to the details – and a bit of match making, too.

“We have a knack for matching people up and putting the right kind of moving crews with our customers,” he says.

Taylor Moving is full service, which means they can accommodate any size of move, commercial or residential, to any destination in the country. The company is an agent for National Van Lines and also an authorized Budget Truck dealer, if you’re interested in a more do-it-yourself moving experience.

For those who loathe DIY, Taylor Moving will disassemble, pack, load, move, unpack and reassemble your belongings, leaving you to relax and enjoy the excitement of a new home.

Perhaps one of the most daunting parts of moving is the packing process and Taylor Moving can diminish some of that stress with their expertise. With the use of professional equipment, padding and shrink wrapping, the company’s crew of skilled movers will protect your belongings throughout the moving process,

from the moment those precious items leave your former home until they are placed in the perfect spot in your new abode. The company will even pick up used moving boxes for free. “We’ve partnered up with EcoCycle to recycle moving boxes,” says Taylor. “We try to be as eco-friendly as we can.”

In addition to the full menu of moving and packing services offered by Taylor, the company also has a 15,000-square-foot storage facility in Longmont where your belongings can wait for you in a secure and climate-controlled environment. A wide array of unit sizes and easy, month-to-month payment options ensure that Taylor Moving can meet all of your storage needs.

Taylor Moving prides itself on a simple, all-inclusive hourly rate. There are no sneaky charges for gas or mileage and all local moves include free, full coverage insurance. “I’ve lived in Boulder since I was four years old,” says Taylor. “I have my name on these trucks and I’m not going anywhere. I have a vested interest in my presence in this community.”

Taylor Moving guarantees an honest and professional experience for all of its customers. As you enjoy the Flatirons Tour of Homes, you might just find yourself considering a move. If so, Taylor Moving should be your next phone call.

BAREFOOT LAKES

Avenue 6

4682 CLEAR CREEK DRIVE FIRESTONE – $369,680

You could say that for the way people live today kitchens are front and center, which is pretty much the location for the kitchen in the Avenue 6. This plan has a lot going for it!

A wide open downstairs, a second floor with three bedrooms, two baths and a loft. But that entry is downright delicious. At Barefoot Lakes there’s plenty to discover with trails, wide open spaces, two lakes and unique park settings to catch Colorado’s poetic sunsets over the foothills.

PROTECTING YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT

Blue Ribbon Home Warranty can help with protecting your home investment.

By Emma Castleberry

t’s every homebuyers’ nightmare: days after closing, the refrigerator starts to make a strange whirring noise, putters and falls silent. Or you draw a bath in your new, built-in whirlpool tub, only to find the jets don’t work. Or maybe the exhaust fan in your kitchen stops drawing air, making dinnertime a smelly, smoky mess. All of these inconveniences can be costly, time-consuming and stressful.

But not if you the ultimate peace of mind: a home warranty.

“Home warranties are a smart investment,” says Alison Harper, regional account manager at Blue Ribbon Home Warranty.

Home warranties cover the costs of service and repair for systems and appliances in a home. Blue Ribbon’s most basic “Silver” plan covers features both big – like ductwork, heating and plumbing systems, and the water heater – and small, like the doorbell, dishwasher, and 58

garbage disposal. The benefits increase with the “Gold” plan, which includes coverage for the washer and dryer and central air conditioning, and the “Premium” plan, which includes a maintenance plan and three additional items of the homeowner’s choosing from Blue Ribbon’s additional items menu.

This coverage is only provided under the condition that the systems and appliances are in good working order when the warranty contract begins.

For this reason, the benefits of a home warranty don’t only extend to homebuyers – they are a smart investment for sellers and real estate agents, too. “A home warranty benefits a seller because Blue Ribbon provides a complimentary inspection, which is completed when the home is listed,” says Harper.

“This inspection will go over the mechanical systems within the home. The results of this inspection allow the seller and realtor to know whether or not they are selling a healthy home, and the agent will not have to worry about additional repairs or problems after closing because Blue Ribbon will take care of their client.” The provision

of a home warranty assures buyers that a home’s systems are operational, which can increase the likelihood of a quick purchase – another obvious benefit for sellers. “The seller will be covered under our warranty for up to nine months during listing period, assuming a home really stays on the market this long,” says Harper. “The day of closing the buyer will start the first day of their warranty, whether it be a 14-month or two-year contract.”

Those nightmares of a broken fridge, bathtub or exhaust fan?

They don’t have to be nightmares anymore. The new homeowner can simply call Blue Ribbon – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year – and the company will send a licensed, insured technician directly to the home. A home warranty will not only save homeowners the potentially steep cost of repairing an appliance or system, but it will also save him or her the time and energy of searching for a reputable service company for each individual appliance or system. All of those hours of reading reviews and making appointments can add up, and you still risk an unpleasant service experience. With Blue Ribbon Home Warranty, the work is already done for you.

Blue Ribbon Home Warranty is a locally-owned, female-owned business based in Lakewood, Colorado. “Blue Ribbon is the only warranty company affiliated with every board of Realtors in the state of Colorado,” Harper says. “We have zero corporate bureaucracy. When you call us, you don’t go through a painful messaging system. Our clients talk directly with our staff.” Founded in 1985, Blue Ribbon prides itself on superior customer service and reliable, knowledgeable staff. Whether you’re selling a home on the Flatirons Tour of Homes, looking to purchase one, or working with a client on either end of the process, Blue Ribbon Home Warranty can help.
