peeking through the ground and the next, the poor dears curl up, trembling from an icy blast. It’s the season for dressing in layers—perhaps a sundress under a full-length parka or Snuggie®? Despite the weather woes, springtime manages to crawl forth and beckon me outside, where I then note my lackluster backyard and want to run far away. I wish I had a magic wand to wave and swirl up a vision like those presented in

our landscape feature this month. Sadly, there’s no fairy dust up my sleeves, but I’ll take the inspiration from each of the projects shown in this month’s issue and figure out what could work at my own house. When it comes to the front yard, I’m tackling patchy grass, so I’ll be using information about sod and seed from the first of our new “Do I Really Need A…” report series. Inside the house, I’m feeling pretty good about my spaces. A few years ago, I took the time to learn a little bit about shopping for a quality sofa, and it made a huge difference in what I chose to purchase for our family room. This month’s buying guide on sofas outlines some of those basics and serves as a nice “cheat sheet” for making a selection. I’m going to fluff some new accent pillows in bright colors and toss them on my club-style couch for a touch of springtime charm. Then, I’ll probably snuggle on that sofa with a book and a warm blanket for another round of hibernation as those final roars of winter inevitably head my way. Spring Forward,

justspotted …at “The Mart” How do designers scout out new trends and fresh products? A few times a year, Atlanta’s AmericasMart hosts the International Gift and Home Furnishings Market, where representatives from more than 7,000 brands converge under one roof. Manufacturers display their wares to designers and retailers eager to check out new ideas and inventory. We got an insider’s look and want to let you in on just a few of the swoon-worthy trends we found— available now through Atlanta-area designers.

The Benefits of Hard-Wax Oil Flooring Embracing a European Tradition

A FLOORING COMPANY YOU CAN TRUST

PLU

The American design community and hardwood professionals alike are embracing the introduction of European-inspired, hard-wax– oiled hardwood floors here. Despite the U.S. market’s strong affinity for polyurethane-finished flooring, oiled floors have been the standard in Europe for centuries—a well-maintained oiled floor’s beauty is actually enhanced over time.

This article is brought to you

All-Natural Ingredients Hard-wax oil is made from all-natural ingredients. The oil penetrates deep into wood fibers to protect from within, while moisture-repelling waxes remain on the surface, creating an appealing matte finish and protective layer. Hard-wax oil nourishes and protects the wood while preserving its natural look, which is often lost with the higher luster of polyurethane finishes.

By comparison, polyurethane finishes create a thick film on the surface of wood that’s extremely durable, but repairs are difficult because the finish does not chemically bond to layers below it and grips only where the surface has been thoroughly abraded. Thus, these floors typically need to be sanded and refinished over time.

An oiled floor provides a warmth and refinement that is difficult to achieve with acrylic or polyurethane coatings. Its rich patina is only enhanced with age and use; the more it is walked on, the more beautiful it becomes.

WHY CHOOSE DCD FOR YOUR NEW KITCHEN & BATH?

Rules of Thumb Help Navigate a Remodel

PLU

Know Your Investment Rather than considering the cost of a kitchen remodel as an expense, think of it as an investment. Unlike a new car, which depreciates the second you drive it away from the dealer, a newly remodeled kitchen increases the value of your home dramatically. Think of a kitchen remodel as an investment in a longterm asset.

DCD Kitchen & Bath Design Studio is your best resource for cabinets and countertops for any room in your home. With over 40 years of experience in designing and installing kitchens and bathrooms, DCD offers beautiful and distinctive choices to fit any project. Our 7,000-square-foot showroom represents the widest range of styles and options in the greater Atlanta area.

Start with a Kitchen Designer We all go to specialists when we need things done right. A kitchen remodel is a specialty within the building industry. So work with a kitchen designer who will guide you through the process. In the end you will save time and money. A professional kitchen designer will be part of the NKBA (National Kitchen & Bath Association) and will be happy to share images of recent projects and offer names of clients who recommend them wholeheartedly.

We offer cabinets from Arbor Creek, Quality, Merillat, Masterpiece, KraftMaid, Shiloh and Crystal, as well as countertops in granite, quartz, solid surface and wood. Our talented staff of designers will guide you through the selection, design and final installation of your kitchen and bath project.

Look for Quality There are many different grades of cabinets, countertops and appliances. What is the reputation of the brand? Does it come with a warranty? Do the research and ask questions. You can have high quality OR low price, but not both. Your kitchen designer will help you navigate through the choices. Murphy’s Law for Kitchen Remodels Most unforeseen issues during a remodel were probably set in motion years ago—such as an ill-advised shortcut taken by the original builder or something that has to be replaced unexpectedly because it’s unsafe by today’s standards. These common hurdles in a kitchen remodel unveil themselves when you open up walls. Set a realistic timeframe and expect a delay somewhere in the project. This is why you hire a professional—they probably have seen it all and will know what to do.

space to a professional team was the most efficient approach. They researched area interior designers, noted the portfolio of local team Kandrac & Kole and then became captivated by the nonprofit projects to which the designers are passionately committed. Designer Kelly Kole recalls, “They chose us because our charity work (which we share on our blog and website) really resonated with their company’s core values. They expressed very clearly what was important to them, not only in terms of material surroundings, but also spiritually. They wanted their offices to tell a story about them and Jeremiah Consulting.” Maximizing the layout of the farmhouse, Kandrac & Kole created very different spaces for the upstairs and the downstairs. The main floor, which includes a conference area and Dale’s office, has a distinctly masculine feel with his law books,

buyingguide Sofa Seekers By Morgan A. McLaughlin McFarland Of all the design elements in a sitting room, the sofa often gets the most attention. Atlanta-area design experts give us the lowdown on picking the right one.

Space it Right Before you shop, analyze how you use your sofa (TV-watching versus formal entertaining, for instance), what size fits in your room (a sofa shouldn’t overpower the space or block traffic) and what style suits your personality. The scale of the sofa within a room has a huge impact—for example, a sofa with big arms and a high back can overwhelm a small room. Loretta Willis, ASID, of Loretta’s Interior Design, says, “Remember—your sofa anchors every other design element in the room. It’s that important!” Patricia Walton, ASID, IDEC, with Georgia Southern University’s Interior Design Program, points out a classic shopping mistake, “People will shop for a sofa in a huge space, like a showroom with high ceilings, and the sofa will look small. But when they get it home, it’s massive and doesn’t complement the space.” She advises considering the height of people who will use the sofa too—

buyingguide: sofas To help choose a sofa with a scale that works, measure your room and take pictures to show a salesperson or designer. Also, consider outside and inside doorways that your new sofa needs to clear when it’s delivered. Hallways or stairways that have sharp turns can limit what furniture can pass through, so measure those too.

Contemplate Cost The price of a sofa often dictates its quality, but buyers can find attractive, durable sofas at any price—you just have to ask a lot of questions when you shop.

An eightway, hand-tied support construction method requires a manufacturer with serious skills, which increases the cost, but the resulting sofa can last a lifetime. More costly sofas often have down-filled back cushions and accent pillows. Devon Garner, of DLG Interiors, explains, “A polyfoam-core seat cushion with a down wrap can be combined with an all-down back cushion or pillow for a beautiful and

comfortable look.” Lower-end sofas typically have foam cushions or foam wrapped in a layer of synthetic batting.

Understand Upholstery

As far as durability goes, any fabric with a pattern or texture helps hide dirt. “A popular trend now is using outdoor fabrics for interior furniture,” Willis notes. “It can take a lot of use without showing age as quickly—a great option if you have young kids and pets.” And while leather sofas can be more expensive (typically $1,000 more than their fabric counterparts), well-maintained leather can last a lifetime.

Professional Sod/Seed/Turf Company? Sod or Seed Success By Susyn Ahern Whether or not you’re a fan of cold weather, one thing most folks can appreciate is the break it gives us from yard work. Minimal mowing, no weeding, zero watering—the winter months have that going for them. But if you’ve been ignoring a failing lawn since the fall, it may be time to ask yourself: Do I need a new lawn?

Immediate Gratification—Is It Worth the Cost? When you invest in a new lawn, is it best to find a professional turf company to install it? If you love grabbing a shovel and getting your hands dirty, maybe doing it yourself makes sense—the steps to prep the soil for seed or sod are fairly simple. “A lot of people want

Spotlight on Urban Agriculture Council One-Stop Shopping for Landscaping Resources Plans to upgrade or entirely revamp a landscape have been known to cause a homeowner plenty of anxiety and sleepless nights.

ThePayoff – Real Estate ROI Applause for a Well-Staged Home During my years working in the Atlanta real-estate market, I’ve noticed firsthand what attracts and what distracts a buyer. When listing a property, I do a thorough evaluation of the home and make a customized to-do list of items to be addressed before we put a sign in the yard. It may be hard to believe that a task as minor as cleaning windows or rearranging furniture can make a difference in the eye of a potential buyer, but those details really matter. As a real-estate professional, I have a trained eye and can usually help my clients achieve a look that will drastically improve their chance of selling their home. However, sometimes a third-party professional stager, who comes to the home to add, subtract or augment furnishings and decor, could be well worth the expense. A stager looks at the home with a fresh perspective and has the ability to arrange furniture

Declutter storage: Edit and organize your closets and other storage areas, including the garage and basement. Consider taking items that you rarely use in your kitchen or closets to a storage

locker. You want the buyer to think, “Wow! Big closets!” I’ve often heard a buyer’s feedback that “the house didn’t have enough storage,” when, in fact, the storage areas were just overstuffed with clutter. 72
