Lots to love in this year’s Parade of Homes lineup A funny thing happens when you go on the Parade of Homes. Go to one house. Then the next. Then another. Quickly, every home becomes your favorite. That’s because every house on the parade, now in its 26th year, features a unique design or something so clever that you’ll never look at your home quite the same way again. This year’s group of homes features several new additions to designs, including a three-story urban town home, a luxury cabin and a spectacular rimview estate that has a fully modern architectural design. The homes have similar trends and features in common. This year, the emphasis is on plenty of natural light and the use of windows. Many homes feature light, airy rooms contrasted with darker wood, stained alder and Douglas fir. Look for lots of transom windows, long, horizontal rectangular windows used in closets and doorways that allow for plenty of privacy and natural light. Homes are also becoming smarter and more wired. Gone are remote controls and wires or thermostat boxes.

Now, computer systems, mostly cloud based, have servers running everything from the television channels displayed in each room to lullabye music for the kids and a toe-level LED nightlight system. The Parade of Homes not only showcases the best of Billings’ builders, but proves that Billings also has features and designs that could be found in areas much larger and more urban. There are 12 homes on this year’s parade. Tour dates are Sept. 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sept. 18 from noon to 5 p.m.; Sept. 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; and Sept. 25 from noon to 5 p.m. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased at any Parade home on the dates of the tours, or in advance at the Home Builders Association office, 1645 Ave. D, Ste. F. This year’s Parade of Homes builders are: Ban Construction; Newman Built Quality Homes; Brown Builders; Rimrock Builders; Trailhead Builders; Kisling Quality Builders; Classic Design Homes; Wells Built Homes, Island at Rock Creek; Trails West Homes; and McCall Homes.

Appraisers are less magician, more forensic detective KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Although they’re not mind readers, personal property appraisers know when they pick up the phone, the caller is eventually going to ask the same question: “What’s it worth?” The biggest misperception the public has about personal property appraisers is that they can immediately tell clients the values of pieces, similar to what happens on “Antiques Roadshow,” the public television program. “We’re definitely not wizards with crystal balls who can just spit out the answer with a few computer keystrokes,” Rollins says. “It takes a lot of inspection and background work.” And gritty work at that. The actual task resembles more the forensics on popular criminal-investigation shows than the quick televised “Roadshow” conclusions. Armed with a flashlight, appraiser Soodie Beasley fights spider webs and dust as she peers into the dark recesses of furniture to gauge wood oxidation, an indicator of age and consistency of parts. Her sleuthing includes pulling out drawers to inspect the carcass for dovetails. She also searches for labels to discover a piece’s maker. Using a black-light wand, Beasley can tell whether a piece was ever painted. Black light also detects restorations; newly added paint fluoresces differently. It’s also a useful tool for gauging the authenticity of decorative arts such as glass. American Brilliant Glass, made around 1880 to before World War II, will shine a greeny-yellow. Reproductions are usually white or soft purple under the glowing light. “An appraiser must rely on a trained eye,” says Beasley, who specializes in furniture and decorative art appraisals. “Signs of wear must be in a logical pattern and not forced as if someone literally took sandpaper to it. In the old days, pieces were cut by stone, which gives a softer polished edge compared to diamond-bladed tools.” Beasley’s professional-looking attire, typically a business suit, is usually covered in grime by the time she is finished with an inspection. Her hands get dirty, too, so she keeps a package of wipes in her tool kit, which also includes measuring tape and a magnifying glass. Then Beasley has to write the appraisal, which includes a market analysis and other research. This often leads Beasley to computer databases or the library at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Appraisals are important documents that are used for insurance-replacement purposes or for taxes if items are charitable donations or part of an estate. Appraisers aren’t licensed through the government. But they pass the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice exam to become a member of an appraisal organization. Many collectors and academics become appraisers since they’re already experts in their fields of interests. Patricia Graham of Lawrence, Kan., an appraiser who specializes in Asian art, has a doctorate in Asian and Japanese art and speaks Japanese. Rachael Blackburn Cozad, director of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, is a fine arts appraiser. Beasley, who also works as an assistant interior design professor at Park Uni-

versity, has post-graduate degrees in fine arts and interior architecture. “Being an appraiser means lots of continuing education,” Beasley says. “I’m constantly reading, to the point where I don’t see my friends.” There’s debate among appraisers about being an antiques dealer and an appraiser simultaneously. Some contend you can’t be a disinterested third party if you’re also a seller. Others contend you can’t truly know market value unless you’re dealing with the merchandise. If you call an appraiser because you might be interested in selling an item or giving it away in favor of a tax deduction, it’s best to schedule a consultation rather than a full appraisal. Expect to pay a minimum of $135 for a consultation in the Kansas City area. A fair-market value appraisal is typically required for any charitable donation of a valuable object; and for gift or estate-tax purposes. Expect the appraisal to cost at least $400, based on the typical hourly rate of an appraiser, which is $135 to $200 per hour. Unfortunately, the value of antiques during this recession is down 25 percent to 75 percent in many categories. But some fine art and designer-made furniture might actually increase in value.

SELLING COLLECTIBLES AND ANTIQUES Consignment shops. They will sell your items for you, but usually for a relatively high percentage of the sale price. If an item doesn’t sell quickly, they normally lower the price. Be sure to get a consignment agreement that protects your ownership and sets up the date by which you must be paid after the sale. Local weekly auctions. Catch-all events in which a variety of items (normally less valuable than catalog auction items) are sold. Local catalog auctions. Auction houses can include your item in scheduled auctions that include similar types of property grouped for sale. These items are offered in a catalog, which typically is posted online. Additional charges may include a percentage of the sale price, insurance and photography. Antiques dealers. They will buy the piece from you outright or sell it and take a percentage of the sale price. When selling an item to an antiques dealer, it is a good idea to first get an independent appraisal or have a good idea of its value. High-end regional and national auction houses. These are for valuable collectible items, antiques or artwork and charge a percentage of the sale price as well as fees for insurance, catalog photographs, etc. Source: American Society of Appraisers
