MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers] Wins Project Competition

The Atlanta-based company won Best Overall Project and Best Covered Deck for a Buckhead project that included a small sun deck, an outdoor fireplace, a grilling and food preparation area, table seating for eight and a large area in which to relax or entertain. “The client asked us to design and construct a new porch from low-maintenance materials. The porch project includes a pressure-treated pine floor, a beaded board ceiling, custom cabinetry, granite counter tops and WindsorONE trim board,” says Rick Goldstein, registered architect and co-owner of MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers]. “Our design fits in seamlessly with the existing house’s architectural style, and we even changed the landscaping for access into the porch.” MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers] is a design/build firm with indoor and outdoor living divisions. It is co-owned by William Fadul. For more information, visit www.mosaicgroupatlanta.com. www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers] took home three awards in the recent North American Deck and Railing Association (NADRA) annual competition, held in Chicago. NADRA is composed of deck builders, manufacturers, dealers/distributors, wholesalers, retailers and service providers to the deck and railing industry.

I want to update my staircase. Where do I start? A staircase makeover is usually replacing the carpet with wood and changing out the balusters (sometimes called spindles or pickets), handrails and posts. First try to determine if you have real wood under the carpet. The only way to do this is to pull back the carpet far enough to see what is underneath. Unfortunately, you cannot assume if you have exposed wood on the edges that there is usable wood under the carpet. Many times it is plywood or pine underneath the carpet. You will need to decide if you want painted or stained risers. Risers are the piece of wood that is to the back of and perpendicular to the tread (what you step on). Look at pictures to determine your preference. If you stain your risers, the wood stain color becomes very dominant. A painted riser makes it easier to differentiate each tread and draws your eye toward the staircase. If you are replacing your balusters, you will need to select your style and pattern. Depending upon the detail of the makeover, your redo may take just a day or as many as 5 to 6 days. —Elisabeth Stubbs, Vice President, Enhance Floors and More, www.enhancefloors.com

For the third consecutive year, MODA Floors & Interiors and Agape Community Center, a nonprofit organization, continued their Extreme Bedroom Makeover partnership. During the one-day event, MODA team members remodeled a bedroom for eight children in the Bolton Road community in Northwest Atlanta. Agape expects to provide 13 children with new bedrooms by the end of November through similar partnerships with local companies such as MODA Floors & Interiors. Rooms To Go provided new bunk beds for the project, and Rosing Paint Center donated paint and supplies. MODA team members accessorized the bright blue bedroom with zebra comforters, colorful pillows, tree wall decals, and new flooring. “This is a highlight for us each year,” said Dean Howell, president of MODA Floors & Interiors, a floor and window coverings resource in the West Midtown Design District. “The kids are always very appreciative of their new spaces. We think the Agape Community Center is doing good work in the neighborhood it serves.” Agape Community Center provides afterschool programs and family services that focus on academic achievement, character development, reading proficiency by third grade, high school graduation and post-graduation planning and placement.

your best year yet Atlanta’s design experts share the hottest trends for 2014 By Karon Warren

With the start of a new year comes a turn to new designs and trends for the home. Every aspect of the home will see some change to a certain extent, although it won’t stray far from tried-and-true design aesthetics. “The boldest designs for 2014 are based on classical styles,” says Ann Wisniewski, ASID, president of AJW Designs Inc. in Roswell. “Keeping it simple is the key to the classic, elegant interior, but try to introduce trendy elements that can be changed easily.” Several of Atlanta’s design experts shared with us their thoughts on what will be hot in homes for the next 12 months.

Wall wonder According to Laurie Laizure of Customized Walls, design experts throughout the country are calling for wallpaper as one of the hot trends for the year ahead. But for some, the idea of wallpaper is scary because they see it as a commitment and difficult to install and remove. However, says Laurie, “this is why I was drawn to a poly fabric material that has a repositionable adhesive. You can stick it on and peel it off without damage [to walls]. More importantly, you can print almost any pattern or even photographs wall size.”

Turning to texture Home design for 2014 appears to be centered on comfort and texture. “Tactile touches like sheepskin rugs, suede seating and silky curtains all mix together to provide a sensory experience,” says Vicki Gladle Bolick of Bolick Interiors in Cumming. Incorporating handmade items like chunky knit pillows or rag rugs also will be prevalent. “Sparkling embellishments will be hot on the home front and will be seen in accessories, pillows and lighting,” Bolick adds.

12/12/13 4:40 PM

According to Jessie Danielle LaFalce, owner and president of Jessie Danielle LaFalce, Interior Designer & Lifestyle Consultant in Atlanta, texture will coalesce into a popular 2014 style trend: coastal decor. “What used to be relegated only to beach houses along the East and West coasts is being incorporated into homes throughout the entire country,” she says. As such, she says, coastal design works best when mixing many different textures, such as washed woods, natural reeded rugs and tiles that are glazed in watery blues and turquoise.

Awash in color In 2014, the general census for top colors focuses on blues, yellows and grays. “I feel like we will be seeing more blues in many different shades, from light sky blues like Benjamin Moore’s ‘Breath of Fresh Air’ to deeper cobalts and more traditional blues like Benjamin Moore’s ‘Williamsburg Wythe Blue,’” says Constance Raines, principal/owner of CF Raines Interior Design Inc. in Decatur. “I think the mustard colors may make a bit of a comeback in small amounts with these blues, being a complementary color, and I think greens in shades of jade and emerald will continue to inspire and be seen in 2014.” Rachel Livingston Greathouse, owner and designer of Rachel Greathouse Design in Milton, says she thinks warm grays will remain constant as a go-to neutral. This is reflected in Sherwin-Williams’ new Reasoned and Diaphanous palettes. “The popularity of gray continues to elevate, and I feel it’s replacing beige,” says Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams.

Furnishing style For the coming year, expect furniture to be paired with interesting materials. “I believe we going to see some stunning modern designs using natural materials – thick-cut wood tops, soft upholstery – that are made with straight lines,” says Peter Hemerlein, vice president of English Classics in Atlanta. In addition, Joann Kandrac and Kelly Kole, interior designers with Kandrac & Kole Interior Design Inc. in Kennesaw, say they expect color blocking on upholstery, inlaid bone on tables and chests and geometric shapes, as well as the repurposing of antiques using paint and current fabrics. Also, furniture will feature clean lines and more of a modern trend. “Look for more balanced scale showing up in lines of upholstery as well as case goods,” says Debby Hall, founder and president of Hall & Company Interior Design in Atlanta. “Heavy carving is out, and simple classic lines are making a comeback but often with a twist, a bit of an edge.”

Light it up New innovations in energy-efficient lighting also will impact 2014 home design trends. “The huge amount of design choices and improvement in color temperatures and affordability in LED lighting and light fixture styles will bring excitement and many possibilities,” Raines says. “Outside illumination with LED fixtures will offer more design options for outdoor spaces, updating our homes’ lighting and also help in saving on our electrical bills. Sculptural glass lighting in a variety of colors for both interior and exterior will be coming in more mainstream designs.” Specifically for interior lighting, Michael Fortson, showroom manager for Illuminations, which has a location in Atlanta, says lighting should be a key element in home design. “Do not be afraid to make a statement with your www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

lighting,” he says. “It can be the focal point of a room. Don’t make your lighting an ‘afterthought.’” One way to do this is by mixing contemporary lighting with Old World-style interiors, Fortson says. “Europe has been doing it for hundreds of years,” he says. “It is becoming much more acceptable, especially in kitchens with your stainless steel appliances.”

Popularity contest Although home experts agreed on many home design trends for 2014, they took their own stance on which rooms would be the “hot” choice for this year. For instance, Don Hagemeister, president and CEO of Totally Dependable Contracting Services LLC in Marietta says master bathrooms are “hot” because people are busy and need a space to unwind. Phil Saylor, owner and director of architectural design for Tuscan Stone Mantels LLC in Norcross, says media rooms and outdoor kitchens are top choices. But Hall votes for the home office. “With so many people working from home either on a part-time or full-time basis, there is more need for efficient, functioning work spaces,” she says. The kitchen ranked high as well. “This hasn’t changed much as it is the hub of the home and where homeowners spend the most of their time,” Kandrac and Kole say. Along these same lines, Bolick opted for the living room. “More people are staying in and going out less,” she says. “So the rooms are becoming more relaxed, livable and tactile.” For Raines, the master bedroom suite will be important in 2014. “A feeling of security is a continued emotional need for everyone,” she says. “The bedroom as a secure retreat with luxurious linens and bedding will continue to be a way to provide that feeling.” Of course, with Atlanta’s mild climate, John Beach, partner with Paces Construction Company in Atlanta, says outdoor rooms and living spaces will continue to be in hot demand. “Covered decks and patios with comfortable all-weather furniture, dining areas, fans, lighting and TV/audio systems can be decorated as casual extensions of the home for family relaxation and entertaining,” he says.

Continuing to improve When it comes to home improvements trends, two key rooms remain at the top of the list: kitchens and bathrooms. “There is a continued focus on enlarging and opening up older, smaller kitchens that are separated from other rooms in the house,” Beach says. “People spend 40 percent of their remodeling dollars on their kitchens, and all age groups now want larger open layouts.” Homeowners are looking for more functional kitchens now that they are entertaining at home due to the recession, says Alison Weidner, architectural sales manager for Poggenpohl Atlanta. “People are using their kitchens, and they want the best quality they can afford,” she says. “They are making an investment and want a good return on that investment.” The same could be said for bathrooms. “If you add a bath to a smaller home, you have increased the value, in most cases more than the cost,” Saylor says. With a new year comes new ideas and a desire for a fresh start. These home design trends certainly give homeowners a great, stylish place to begin.

2014 President of NARI Atlanta, Brad Cruickshank

A Message from Brad Cruickshank President of NARI Atlanta 2014 After four difficult years, sales of existing homes are strong. Home purchase is a popular time to begin a remodeling project. Home valuations are rising. And many homeowners have traditionally financed home remodeling projects by leveraging their equity. Remodeling is back! We see further confirmation by The Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) predicts continued strong gains well into 2014. The recession was tough on many and remodelers and those in related industries were not spared. The good news is that the survivors are among the strongest, best managed, and most professional firms. NARI is the association of professional remodelers. So with the rebound in remodeling we see a rebound in NARI Atlanta membership. And industry related vendor and special service contractors can enhance their businesses by doing business with NARI remodelers. NARI Atlanta provides area remodelers with vital education and net work ing oppor t unit ies which enhance t heir businesses. And our four annual premier events (NARI Golf Tournament, The Cutting Edge educational seminars, Tour of Remodeled Homes, and Contractor of the Year Awards) attract new members and improve NARI Atlantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visibility in the community. If you are a remodeling professional and are not a NARI Atlanta member; become one! If you are a metro Atlanta homeowner planning a remodeling project, consider the best and choose from the enclosed list of NARI Atlanta members.

Landscape Resolution #1: A lawn that’s not a yawn

The lawns of Atlanta homes have historically been Bermuda or Fescue, according to Jutt Howard, director of sales and scheduling at North Georgia Turf Inc. (NG Turf). But in recent years, locals are seeing the benefits of Zoysia lawns. Because of this trend, turf breeders are developing new varieties of Zoysia, including one brand-new variety that’s gaining attention as the turf being installed on the Rio de Janeiro golf course for the 2016 Summer Olympics first-ever golf event. It’s called Zeon Zoysia, and “it has quickly become the industry leader for an all-around turf,” Howard says. The turf variety features a fine, thin blade, a very low fertility requirement, a beautiful, natural color and excellent shade tolerance. Also, NG Turf’s partnership with Texas A&M University has recently resulted in a new variety of Texas Bluegrass turf. “It’s a variety we feel can better handle the climate of Georgia,” says

ATLANTA HOME IMPROVEMENT JANUARY 2014

0114_057-065_landscape.indd 60

Jutt Howard with NG Turf. “This gives users who want a yearround green lawn a new option that is better adapted to our heat and humidity than fescue.” He adds that the new Bluegrass will recover more easily from traffic, and overall maintenance is much improved when compared to fescue. Howard says, “The variety is currently having seed-production evaluations done in Oregon to see if it can be grown from seed, as well.”

Landscape Resolution #2: A blooming spring

One of the most prominent, ubiquitous flowers is the petunia— so it’s difficult for a new variety of petunia to garner excitement when there are hundreds of varieties already available. But the new Cha-Ching Cherry Petunia has done just that: generated a lot of buzz, recently earning the 2013 Reader’s Choice award by Greenhouse Grower magazine. “New for 2014, Cha-Ching Cherry www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

Petunia is something special,” says Phyllis Long of Redbud Lane Nursery in Holly Springs. “We produced a small crop of this petunia for the fall [2013] and we were surprised at how much we liked it despite our ho-hum weariness with petunias overall.” Kellie Bowen with Full Bloom Nursery in Clermont agrees. “In a market saturated with beautiful vegetative petunias, this one from Ball FloraPlant is a remarkable standout,” she says. “The flower’s rich, wine-red color with creamy-white pinwheels and a kiss of almost chartreuse in the center make it a versatile container-garden component or a lovely hanging basket.” The Southern Living Plant Collection’s newest hydrangea, the Dear Dolores (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Wyatt LeFever’), www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

first produces its pastel blooms in spring, then reblooms throughout the summer and fall months. A fast-growing deciduous shrub (plan for it to grow 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide) with bright-green foliage, the Dear Dolores Hydrangea’s flowers are blue in acidic soils and pink in alkaline soils. “It’s an excellent choice for shady border planting,” say the experts at Plant Development Services Inc., creators of the Southern Living Plant Collection. Another hydrangea to check out is the Fire and Ice (Hydrangea paniculata) shrub from Ball Horticultural Company. This new panicle hydrangea changes bloom color every few weeks—from creamcolored flowers in the late spring to cotton-candy pink in midsummer to deep magenta/burgundy in the late summer

and throughout the fall. “It makes a stunning focal point!” Bowen says, adding, “Unlike the old-fashioned blue/ pink ‘mophead’ hydrangeas, all panicle hydrangeas need several hours of sun to bloom, and they bloom on new wood.” Do you love pink? Then watch your garden burst into your favorite color with the new Pink Explosion Azalea. Offered by the Gardener’s Confidence Collection through McCorkle Nurseries, the unique variety features a compact habit of 3 to 4 feet in height and width, with repeat blooms in both the spring and the fall. “The evergreen foliage makes it an ideal choice for planting in mass or incorporating into a shrub border,” says Jaydene Reardon with McCorkle Nurseries. “With little need to prune,

it is low maintenance and perfect for naturalized areas such as woodland gardens.” If, by the time the winter is over and spring rolls around, you’re longing for that fresh-flower smell every time you step outside the house, the Scentsation Gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides ‘Leetwo’ PPIP) is the plant for you. Another member of the Southern Living Plant Collection, this shrub is compact (it grows approximately 3.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide) and offers tiny, fragrant white blossoms over its dark, evergreen foliage from late spring through fall.

(Allium senescens ‘Blue Eddy’)—it provides interesting foliage in addition to great flowers. “Alliums are fabulous for tucking into nooks and crannies throughout the perennial garden, rock garden or in container compositions,” says Kacey Cloues, store manager for Garden*Hood—Plant Atlanta. She notes that the Ornamental Onion’s bluish-green leaves “grow in whimsical whorls that swirl in a compact clump,” and that in late summer/early fall, the plants are “topped by globes of lilac-lavender flower clusters,” growing about 8 to 12 inches tall in areas of full to partial sun. A new addition to the ever-growing sedum lineup is Proven Winners’ Garnet Brocade. Blooming August through October, this plant grows 16 inches tall, “but trimming it in the spring will allow it to branch,” advise Ken Hall and Marie Forrester with Hall’s Flower Shop and Garden Center in Stone Mountain. The best part: its burgundy stems, foliage and blooms. “It makes a beautiful red statement,” Hall and Forrester say. www.atlantahomeimprovement.com

One of the more difficult landscape elements to plan is the in-between spots, where you need a “filler.” These spots are

waist-high grasses but don’t have a sunny spot in the garden, this is the grass for you.” This variety grows 4 feet tall (when in bloom) and has bright-green foliage with wispy plumes of pinkish-tan inflorescences in late summer. “Leave the foliage standing through winter, as it provides valuable shelter for birds and wildlife, and it looks beautiful with a light dusting of frost,” she adds.

perfect for tall grasses; Cloues points to two new offerings: Big Bluestem Grass (Andropogon gerardii ‘Indian Warrior’) and Korean Feather Grass, also known as Diamond Grass (Calamagrostis brachytricha). “Big Bluestem is a native American prairie grass with a strongly upright habit,” she describes. “Its blue-green foliage takes on hues of dusky maroon in mid to late summer, and its feathery inflorescences are borne on distinctive red stems—extremely eye-catching, even from a distance!” As for the Korean Feather Grass, Cloues exclaims: “Finally, a tall, plumy grass for shade!

Another new deer-resistant shrub is the Florida Sunshine Anise (Illicium paryiflorum), an evergreen that typically grows to 5 feet tall by 3 to 4 feet wide. “It has chartreuse gold foliage during the spring and summer, and in the fall, the leaf color turns to a bright yellow and the stems turn vivid red,” Bowen describes. “Florida Sunshine is a wonderful evergreen for adding interest and color to shady gardens—a great way to brighten up dark places!”

‘Dark Reiter’,” Cloues says. “Vibrant bluish-lilac flowers cover the plant in late spring/early summer—and sometimes sporadically through the fall—but the real treat with this plant is its distinctive plum-colored foliage. The highly dissected leaves provide fantastic texture and look smashing paired with golden-leafed hostas and coralbells, blue Carex ‘Hobb’, leathery-leafed hellebores and delicate ferns.” She adds that in the Atlanta area, the plant performs best in spots that get strong morning sun and afternoon shade, or filtered light all day. It will grow 8 to 10 inches tall and about a foot wide.

To resist rabbits, the scented foliage of geraniums work well, and Garden*Hood— Plant Atlanta is introducing a new variety to its shelves this year. “We’ve long been fans of Geranium ‘Biokovo’ and Geranium sanguineum, but now we’re excited to add a new purple-leafed variety of hardy cranesbill to the mix: Geranium pretense

An old-fashioned shrub making a comeback is the weigela, providing season-long interest. Its newest variety by Proven Winners is the Sonic Bloom, available in both pearl and red colors. “The red is a lipstick color that attracts hummingbirds all season,” Hall and Forrester say. The shrub’s biggest bloom

time is in May, but it reblooms through the summer and fall until frost. “One of the most exciting and popular introductions is the release of miniature butterfly-bush varieties,” Bowen says. “They will truly change the way you think about the butterfly bush—no more taking over the whole flower bed or smothering other plants nearby!” Bowen points to Proven Winners’ Lo & Behold Blue Chip and Purple Haze butterfly bushes—both of which grow to just 3 feet tall and attract butterflies and hummingbirds. “The unique, horizontal low-spreading habit and feathery deep-green leaves hold loads of dark-purple flower spikes that radiate outwards like purple pinwheels,” she describes. Whatever your landscape goals are, this year promises to be full of budding beauty!

Historic meets modern in West End Atlanta Barbara English, To the Trade Only, 541 10th St., Suite 418, Atlanta, GA 30318 (404) 536-0664, www.tothetradeonly.com Photography by Doug Sturgess, photos courtesy of To the Trade Only This 130-year old historic West End Atlanta home (circa 1884) started out as a classic one-story craftsman style house. The simple layout took advantage of the large attic space and hip roof with an altered roof line in the back adding enough square footage for two large bedrooms, a living space, bathroom and laundry upstairs. A kitchen and large master bath were added to the main level, creating space to add closets to the existing two bedrooms on the first floor. The homeowner, designer Barbara English, retained and restored all of the original heart of pine floors, doors and windows and added a historic window salvaged from an iconic church renovation during the 1970s, and 8-foot-by-8-foot skylight at the top of the new stairwell. The cabinets and extensive trim in the house were custom made to replicate the original trim. Original doors were refabricated to create leaded glass French doors mirroring the church window. All five coal-burning fireplaces in the home have been converted to working wood-burning fireplaces with gas starters. Insulation was added throughout, and a tankless hot water system, along with a new roof, added to the efficiency of this home. Electric and plumbing have all been brought up to code. English stresses the importance of honoring the style of homes in historic neighborhoods while updating them to be more functional by todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standards. She favors a touch of whimsy and color on the walls and 14-foot ceilings to keep the look current and counter the potential heaviness of all the wood trim. The lighting has been carefully selected to be appropriate for the period of the home. Special thanks go to The Lighting Loft (www.lightingloft.com) for much of the recessed lighting, Kass Wilson (www.kasswilson.com) for the dining room ceiling and powder bath finishes, and Oldcastle Surfaces (www.oldcastlesurfaces.com) for the kitchen counters.

MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers] Wins Project Competition

“The client asked us to design and construct a new porch from low-maintenance materials. The porch project includes a pressure-treated pine floor, a beaded board ceiling, custom cabinetry, granite counter tops and WindsorONE trim board,” says Rick Goldstein, registered architect and co-owner of MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers]. “Our design fits in seamlessly with the existing house’s architectural style, and we even changed the landscaping for access into the porch.” MOSAIC Group [Architects and Remodelers] is a design/build firm with Indoor and Outdoor Living Divisions. It is co-owned by William Fadul. For more information, visit www.mosaicgroupatlanta.com.

A staircase makeover is usually replacing the carpet with wood and changing out the balusters (sometimes called spindles or pickets), handrails and posts. First try to determine if you have real wood under the carpet. The only way to do this is to pull back the carpet far enough to see what is underneath. Unfortunately, you cannot assume if you have exposed wood on the edges that there is usable wood under the carpet. Many times it is plywood or pine underneath the carpet. You will need to decide if you want painted or stained risers. Risers are the piece of wood that is to the back of and perpendicular to the tread (what you step on.) Look at pictures to determine your preference (Pinterest and Houzz are great places to see staircase pictures.). If you stain your risers, the wood stain color becomes very dominant. A painted riser makes it easier to differentiate each tread and draws your eye toward the staircase. If you are replacing your balusters, you will need to select your style and pattern. NEED There are websites HIGH RES that allow you to “drag” different balusters in various combinations onto

With the start of a new year comes a turn to new designs and trends for the home. Every aspect of the home will see some change to a certain extent, although it

won’t stray far from tried-and-true design aesthetics. “The boldest designs for 2014

are based on classical styles,” says Ann Wisniewski, ASID, president of AJW Designs Inc. in Roswell. “Keeping it simple is the key to the classic, elegant interior, but try

to introduce trendy elements that can be changed easily.”

Several of Atlanta’s design experts shared with us their thoughts on what will be hot in homes for the next 12 months.

Wall wonder

According to Laurie Laizure of Customized Walls, design experts throughout the country are calling for wallpaper as one of the hot trends for the year ahead. But for some, the idea of

wallpaper is scary because they see it as a commitment and difficult to install and remove.

However, says Laurie, “this is why I was drawn to a poly fabric material that has a repositionable adhesive. You can stick it on and peel it off without damage [to walls]. More importantly, you can print almost any pattern or even photographs wall size.”

Turning to texture

Home design for 2014 appears to be centered on comfort and texture. “Tactile touches

like sheepskin rugs, suede seating and silky curtains all mix together to provide a sensory

experience,” says Vicki Gladle Bolick of Bolick Interiors in Cumming. Incorporating handmade

items like chunky knit pillows or rag rugs also will be prevalent. “Sparkling embellishments will

be hot on the home front and will be seen in accessories, pillows and lighting,” Bolick adds.
