TRENDS

Introducing the 2017 PANTONE Color of the Year

by JASMINE LISTOU BIBLE

WITH A NEW YEAR UPON US, you may be ready to give your house a new look. For a bit of inspiration, we turn to the experts at the Pantone Color Institute, the global authority on color and color communication. At the end of each year the Institute announces “The Pantone Color of the Year” for

8

the upcoming year. The color selection is a symbolic snapshot of what they see taking place on a global scale, and what they expect to be trending in the interior design and fashion world.

For 2017, the Pantone Institute chose Greenery, a vibrant green hue. “A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings. Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature’s greens revive, restore and renew,” states the Institute.

So how do we bring this fresh color into our mountain homes? Fortunately, the hue works across many design styles — traditional, modern, farmhouse rustic or cabin chic. Hesitant to introduce such a bold shade to your abode? This particular shade of green can almost act as a neutral, and lends itself to a variety of color palettes. It

SUMMIT COUNTY HOME | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

works with warm, earthy shades and cool grays. Various ways you can bring Greenery into your spaces is through paint, accessories, furniture and plants.

Paint may be the quickest and most dramatic way to add the Color of the Year to your décor. Paint your entryway with Greenery for an unexpected punch of color. Add a thick band of green along a hallway to add a bit of whimsy.

Transform your bathroom into a spa by painting one or more of the walls with the Greenery hue. Or add a bit of depth by painting the walls with Greenery, then a shade deeper and a shade lighter, for a monochrome effect. Take a bold approach by re-tiling your shower with citrus green subway tiles.

When it comes to Greenery furniture and accessories, options abound.

Trading out pillows in your living room or bedrooms can be an easy swap.

Adding a throw to the foot of the bed

2017 PANTONE® Color of the Year 15-0343 TXC Greenery

“A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings.”

— Pantone Color Institute

can provide a pop of color and warmth.

Another simple spruce up would be trading out your bath towels for either solid green, stripes or patterns. If you’re ready for a full makeover, try changing out some of your existing pieces — a pair of matching poufs in the family room or a quirky foot stool.

The cheerful color would work well in a mid-century aesthetic — swap out your rustic leather sofa for a bright tufted green sofa with sleek lines, or a lime green accent chair.

For a literal translation, bring actual greenery into your home! Fresh plants and trees can add just the right amount of green without having to change any of your furniture or accessories. Smaller plants are easy to incorporate on a mantel, buffet or bookshelf. Succulents and air plants are low-maintenance and provide a bit of texture. We love the Sansevieria,

commonly known as Mother-InLaw’s Tongue, a boldly colored plant with a small footprint that grows tall, spiky leaves with stripes of varying green colors. Tall, slender trees can perfectly fill an empty corner or liven up an entryway. The popular fiddle leaf fig (Ficus Lyrata) is a beautiful option. Be sure to place it in a spot that receives plenty of natural light, and don’t over-water.

Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, shares, “Greenery bursts forth in 2017 to provide us with the reassurance that we yearn for amid a tumultuous social and political environment. Satisfying our growing desire to rejuvenate and revitalize, Greenery symbolizes the reconnection we seek with nature, one another and a larger purpose.” As we embark on this new year, perhaps a bit of Greenery is just what we need.

HISTORY

BR ECK ENR IDGE

A Story of Resilience THE HISTORY OF BARNEY FORD story and photos by HEATHER JARVIS

MAINTAINED BY THE

Breckenridge Heritage Alliance (BHA) as a museum, the Barney Ford Victorian House sits at a prime location on Washington and Main streets. In the high season, the renovated historic home sometimes draws up to 100 visitors in a single day. Several rooms throughout share stories of the escaped slave who became a very successful businessman and civil rights activist, leaving a legacy throughout Summit County, Colorado and beyond.

FORD’S STORY

Born into slavery in 1822, Ford was the son of a white plantation owner and an African-American mother. After escaping from a river boat as a young adult, Ford used the Underground Railroad to make his way to Chicago.

“Just about every slave who was escaping back then, before the Civil War, that was their objective — because

there was no slavery in Canada. … Once they got to large cities with large black populations they just kind of melted in and felt kind of safe,” said Rick Galgas, tour guide with the Breckenridge Heritage Alliance.

Instead of continuing to Canada, Ford met his wife, Julia, and decided to stay.

He was trained as a barber, and it was then that he took the last name of “Ford.”

“His father never claimed him,” said Sherrie Calderini, who works in the Barney Ford House for the BHA. “He didn’t really need a last name until he and Julia decided they wanted to get married. The story goes they were either walking through the railroad yard or they saw this train engine, and it had a name.

It was Lancelot Ford. They liked it … and they took it. When they got married, they became Mr. and Mrs. Barney Lancelot Ford.”

With the idea of heading West for the California Gold Rush, Ford and his wife caught a ship in New York. It was dangerous for a runaway slave to travel

across the U.S., so traveling by boat was the safest way. Upon reaching Nicaragua, Ford and his wife decided to stay, and Ford opened a hotel and restaurant and ran it for about six years, Galgas said.

After a fire destroyed his business and then civil unrest in the country made it dangerous to stay, Ford and his wife left and returned to Chicago.

After a stint in Chicago, Ford decided to take his chances on the gold rush, but this time in Colorado. He stayed with another notable figure in history, freed slave Clara Brown, in Central City. Freed in 1856, Brown had made her way to Colorado from Kentucky working as a cook for a prospecting party, Galgas said. Brown opened a successful laundry facility and became prosperous herself, investing in real estate and mining claims. She spent her life searching for her only surviving child Eliza, finally reuniting with her in 1882.

Ford took up a claim and started mining, only to leave the area after a short time, in October 1861, after opening a boarding house in French Gulch and closing it due to early snowstorm and men heading back to fight in the Civil War. Returning to Breckenridge around 1880, he opened a restaurant on Main Street and purchased a large piece of land where the museum

is today. He made savvy business moves, investing $4,000 in the Oro mine in French Gulch in 1887. He sold his investment two years later, realizing a profit of over $500K in today’s money.

While some of the history written in books has conflicting information, the message of perseverance is clear.

Overcoming slavery, bankruptcy and other trials, Ford became a wealthy entrepreneur and a voice for civil rights.

He was one of a number of AfricanAmericans to push for education for emancipated slaves that had come West after the war, Calderini said, and helped open a school for this reason.

He lobbied in Washington, D.C., against Colorado becoming a state when its constitution did not allow for AfricanAmericans to vote. A stained glass window honoring the man still adorns the Colorado State Capitol.

“I think one of the things that’s important to know about him is his resilience,” said Phyl Rubinstein, who works at Barney Ford Home for the BHA. “He was an escaped slave, and he became a very successful businessman.

He lost businesses, he went bankrupt several times, and every time he fought his way back. That lesson of resilience and strength is really something important for us to know about.

Making your home green for winter

by LEO WOLFSON | brought to you by BRECKENRIDGE BUILDING CENTER

IMAGINE YOURSELF EATING A PEACEFUL BREAKFAST in your home, and then to your surprise, a

cold breeze crosses your brow. No one living in the High Country should ever be taken aback by cold air in the winter, but when that breeze comes through the inside of your home, then we have a problem.

It’s … a comfort issue,” said Dave Koons of Kodiak Enterprises. “People say that it’s so dry here but the truth is the reason it’s so dry is you’re taking in all that cold winter air.”

Not only is a leaky house frustrating, it’s also costly during the frigid winter months.

“Most houses up here might be spending 40 percent (of their energy bill) on the air leakage,” said Koons.

Determining how much ventilation a home gets is a very delicate dilemma. On one hand, a home that’s too sealed will have restricted air circulation and reduced air quality. A home with too much ventilation, however, makes an inefficient drain on the energy bill. Finding a balance is a worthy investment as it can help save on an energy bill and benefits the environment by putting a smaller burden on the electrical grid.

THE STAC K E F F E CT “It’s really important to know the specific air leakages in your home before you spend time and effort trying to air seal that window or that door with some weather stripping,” said Koons.

You may be deceived by cold air filtering through a closed window or door and think these areas are your biggest trouble spots. One of the biggest reason crawl spaces, attics and recess lights are actually prone to the worst leakage is the fact that hot, less dense air rises, sending the majority of ventilated heat to the top of a house. In the summer the process reverses with the bottom of the house leaking cold air-conditioned air.

S AV IN G T HR OU GH A N AU D I T By getting an energy audit one can test the air quality and energy efficiency of their home. A great source for this service in Summit County is the friendly staff at the High Country Conservation Center (HC3).

“You’re going to have an energy auditor … to look at the entire building as a system. Not just a list of appliances but to really understand how the home works

and functions,” explained HC3’s Cody Jensen.

HC3 runs an Energy Smart program and partners with Xcel Energy to not only identify if air ventilation is inefficient but also pinpoint reasons for why it is. They do this by using infrared cameras to see where air leakages are occurring and where insulation may be lacking.

“It’s somewhat like a home inspection but really focused on areas for improvement with regards to indoor air efficiency, indoor air ventilation,” said Jensen. “It’s an amazing learning tool.”

After rebates the average return on an energy audit is around $100 and HC3 matches 50 percent of new installations up to $400. There are also rebate opportunities available through Xcel and the Federal Government.

Another program that HC3 works with on a limited basis is Colorado’s Affordable Residential Energy (CARE).

The CARE program offers free LED light upgrades as well as a furnace check up, insulation and air sealing improvements, high-efficiency refrigerators, high-efficiency water heaters, storm windows and programmable thermostats for residents that earn 80 percent or less of the average median income for their area.

Breckenridge Building Center 13445 Hwy. 9, Breckenridge (970) 453-2372 | www.breckenridgebuildingcenter.com

COST-CUTTING HABI TS In addition to sealing off leaks, practicing some green habits can also help save on your utility bill. Here are a few tips that help lower costs: • Invest in a thermostat with remote controlling capability. There are a number of app-based thermostats on the market that let an owner control their house temperature from anywhere in the world.

• Turn down the heat 6-8 degrees while you're sleeping and when not at home.

• Replace the furnace filter. Old furnace filters tend to get clogged with dirt and grime, which can significantly add to heating costs.

• Purchase LED light bulbs for lights used more than one hour a day. LED lights may initially be more expensive but cost less in the long run because they use 90 percent less energy than traditional watt-style bulbs.

• Be careful with your water use.

Since tap water is so cold in Summit during the winter, the cost of running excessive amounts of hot water can be detrimental. Installing low-flow faucets and showerheads as well as turning down your water heater can help with the issue. Also, try taking shorter showers and baths.

HOLIDAY BAKING

Only 5 ingredients in these Pecan Crunchies

by VERA DAWSON | HIGH COUNTRY BAKING

Pecan Crunchies (Yields 20, 2½-inch cookies.)

1 large egg white, room temperature ¼ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 cup pecans, toasted and chopped into ¼-inch pieces

SUMMIT COUNTY HOME | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

Editor’s note: High altitudes makes cookies spread in the pan, cakes fall and few baked goods turn out as they do at sea level. This twicemonthly column presents recipes and tips that make baking in the mountains successful.

RIGHT ABOUT NOW is a time when many of us suffer from a serious case of dietary remorse.

(All those holiday indulgences — why didn’t we resist?) If you’re experiencing it, these cookies could be the perfect antidotes. They’re low fat and gluten-free, so you can enjoy their brown sugar-pecan taste and light, crunchy texture with very little guilt. Nibble them alone or, when you’re on friendlier terms with sweets, as an accompaniment to any creamy dessert (think ice cream, puddings and custards).

With only five ingredients, they’re as easy to make as they are to eat.

Just be sure your brown sugar is soft and lump-free and your pecans are fresh and nicely toasted. Be patient as you beat the egg white; it needs to be quite firm in order to blend with the dry ingredients.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees with a rack in the center position.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. (Don’t grease the pan; the cookies may spread too much.)

Beat the egg white and salt with an electric mixer (use a whisk attachment if you have one) on low speed until frothy. Increase the speed to medium-high, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. This takes a few minutes. Add the vanilla, sugar and nuts, and use a large silicone or rubber spatula to thoroughly fold them into the beaten egg white. The egg white will deflate, and, once blended, the dough will be thick and sticky.

Use a spoon to make round mounds of dough, 1 inch high and

1 inch wide, spaced about 2 inches apart, on the prepared pan. If necessary, wet your hands to shape the dough correctly. Bake until the cookies puff and spread and the dough is set but still slightly soft when touched. This takes from 16 to 21 minutes. If you want the cookies to be a little chewy, remove them when the dough is set but very springy when touched; if you want them completely dry and crunchy, give them a little more oven time.

Remove the pan to a rack. Leave the cookies on the pan until cool.

Slip a metal spatula under each one to gently detach it from the parchment or foil. Store, covered, for six days at cool room temperature.

This is a variation of a recipe in “Cookies Unlimited.” Vera Dawson, author of the high-altitude cookbook “Cookies in the Clouds” (available at The Bookworm of Edwards), is a chef instructor with CMC’s Culinary Institute.

Her recipes have been tested in her Summit County kitchen and, whenever necessary, altered until they work at our altitude. Contact her at veradawson1@gmail.com.

OU TFIT THIS ESSENTIAL MOUNTAIN HOME SPACE

s a gateway into your home, the mudroom is used for dumping outside layers, thawing out and settling in. This dedicated entrance space helps sort and settle the coming and going of family members, guests and pets.

“Having a functional mudroom is critical in the High Country, and a worthy investment,” said Tracey Egolf, founder of Egolf Interiors, Inc., out of Breckenridge. “Our extreme weather results in an abundance of snow, slush, mud, grit and dust that is tracked into the home if not deposited in a mudroom.”

Without this room, coming in for a landing can create a disaster zone strewn with clothing, footwear and equipment all the time.

Heidi Jarski, co-owner of Mountain Comfort Furnishings and Design store in Frisco, said that mudrooms can be an extension of your personal style.

“Adding art, wall covering, indoor-outdoor area rugs or some accent paint can add some pop and style to this incredibly useful room,” she said.

Keep your mudroom theme consistent with the same style as the rest of your home for a more unified look, Jarski added, and include some accents or greenery to make it as lively as any other room in your home.

SUMMIT COUNTY HOME | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

Get Organized A mudroom needs three essential pieces: a coat rack, a bench and somewhere to keep those wet shoes. Beyond these staples, storage options and decorative elements can make for a more tidy and inviting space.

“Even youngsters can handle hanging jackets up,” said Egolf, “and this helps reduce mess and gets clothing up off the floor so it can dry out.”

Separate zones in the mudroom coincide with appropriate function.

Jarski said wall hooks, coat racks and cubby spaces help separate the gear, and incorporating a rubber containment mat for boots and shoes helps to keep puddles from spreading.

“Depending on your space limitations, some mudrooms contain individual lockers to keep each person’s gear organized,” she said. “We’ve even seen these individual lockers have their own boot dryers and USB power sources for all the devices.”

Karen Wray, design coordinator for Mountain Log Homes & Interiors based in Frisco, said to have enough storage for the small stuff — think gloves, hats, helmets, scarves, etc. This is where cubbies, storage baskets or shelves come in handy.

A lower price option is a baker’s rack or stainless steel restaurant shelving, with ‘S’ hooks and inexpensive baskets set on the shelves, shared Egolf.

“There are many pre-fab options out there that will help organize the chaos of the mudroom,” she said. “Just get creative and check out the storage aisles at a nearby big-box store.”

Pay attention to small details in the layout of the space, like where you put your hooks.

“Ideally, don’t have hooks over a bench so wet coats don’t drip on the seat,” Wray said.

If it’s possible to have a floor sink for washing off muddy paws and boots nearby, Egolf said that is an advantage.

And as much as you love it, all your gear does not need to come inside with you.

“Skis are best left in the garage if that’s an option,” Wray said. “We also conserve space by putting the laundry together with the mudroom so wet clothing can go right in the dryer, and dirty muddy boots can get cleaned straight away.”

The floor in a mudroom needs to be moisture- and muck-friendly, so choose durable surfaces.

D u r a b l e D e ta i l s The floor in a mudroom needs to be moisture- and muck-friendly, so choose durable surfaces. Wood can scratch and soak up moisture.

“Also, using those rubber shoe trays under a bench can make clean up a breeze, versus mopping,” said Wray.

Jarski said the most common floor material they see in mudrooms is tile.

“Because of its versatility and strength, tile makes for a great material in the mudroom area,” she said. “You can add some pop of color with patterned concrete tiles, or the ever-popular ceramic reclaimed wood plank look.”

Mountain Comfort recently worked on a project using pebble epoxy flooring that Jarski said integrates into a beautiful wood flooring.

Egolf said her favorite flooring options are stained concrete and porcelain tile because they have a lot of options for designs and are easy to clean.

“The heavy texture of natural stone, such as slate, can be more difficult to clean,” she shared. “Look for a good non-slip texture.

I always add an inexpensive indoor-outdoor area rug outside of the entry and inside to help remove the worst of the slush and muck before tracking it inside.”

Also, encourage everyone to slip off their shoes and into your cozy home by leaving a basket of slippers in the space.

SUMMIT COUNTY HOME | JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2017

SUMMIT COUNTY REAL ESTATE sales brought in more than $1 billion in 2016.

Condominiums are still the highest portion of real estate sales in the county. Condo sales remained consistent with last year, said Dennis Clauer, broker and owner at Real Estate of the Summit Inc. “The discrepancies in our market this year, year-to-date, are really in the luxury market, which would be over $2 million for single-family homes,” he said to the Summit Daily News in December 2016.

The average time that a luxury home spent on the market increased by 50 percent in 2016. A lack of inventory of single-family homes and condos caused those options to move through the market more quickly.

There were 2,338 total sales through November, bringing in more than $1.2 billion. Last year, during the same period, saw 2,254 sales, and $1.17 billion in revenue. There were

also more sales over the million-dollar mark. In 2016, 217 homes were sold for more than $1 million. This was 11 more sales than last year.

For both years, sales over $1 million represented 9 percent of the total.

Summit County Assessor Beverly Breakstone told the Daily in October that the boost in sales followed the increasing price trend that has been happening for the past two years.

Over the course of 2016, sales were neck and neck with the year previous. September, the county’s biggest month, had a total of 300 sales, and more than $161 million in transactions. It was one sale short of what was done in 2015, but still squeaked ahead in revenue by a little less than $10 million. September is a bigger month for real estate because buyers become more serious in their search for a new home, said Cody Thomas, a broker associate with Paffrath and Thomas Real Estate, to the Daily in October.

Homeowners will also begin lowering prices in the hopes of selling before the winter months.

Sales began to slow down in October and November, but both months still brought in more than $140 million each.

The slowest month for real estate in Summit was January, with 124 sales and $63 million in revenue.

From there sales started going up month by month. Two of the year’s largest sales were in March. Lot 2 in Shock Hill in the Breckenridge area sold for $5.675 million, and Parcel A at River’s Edge sold for $5.5 million.

Sales for the month of December will be posted in early 2017, but in 2015, the month had 269 sales with a value of nearly $130 million. Of those sales, 17 were more than $1 million. December had more sales and higher revenue than November that year.

In 2016, 34 homes went into foreclosure, compared to 33 last year.

Eleven of the foreclosed properties from this year are still in the first step of the process, and have had the Notice for Election and Demand recorded. Of the remaining homes, 16 of the foreclosures have been withdrawn, four because the debt was paid. Another four of the houses have already been resold. Last year, 21 of the foreclosures were withdrawn, and 12 were sold.
