BIA OF CENTRAL OHIO — PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the 2016 Parade of Homes at Verona in Powell The Building Industry Association of Central Ohio is very proud to report that at its midway mark, the BIA Parade of Homes is drawing big crowds and rave reviews. Thousands of enthusiastic people are finding inspiration and ideas in the 16 spectacular custom homes on display at Verona in Powell, our largest Parade in a decade. Verona is set apart by its abundant green space and prime location in Powell, one of central Ohio’s most desirable home markets. When complete, this 113.5-acre development, built on the site of the former Shamrock Golf Club, will feature 112 singlefamily homes and 54 patio homes. The community is minutes from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and located in the top-rated Olentangy School District. The Verona Parade is hosted by one of our area’s most highly regarded developers, Vince Romanelli.

By Rockford Homes

Each of our 16 Parade builders is showcasing the best our industry has to offer. Congratulations and Joel Rhoades thank you to our builders: 3 Pillar Homes, Bob Webb Homes, Compass Homes, Coppertree Homes, Dani Homes, M/I Homes, Manor Homes, Memmer Homes, New England Homes, P&D Builders, Pulte Homes, Rockford Homes, Romanelli & Hughes, Sierra Custom Homes, Trinity Homes and Weaver Custom Homes. Every builder has created a one-of-a-kind home. And one, M/I Homes, is celebrating its 30th year of Parade participation.

traction: the tiny house built by students in the Fort Hayes Career Center’s construction program. I would like to thank all of the BIA subcontractors and suppliers who worked hard along with the Parade build-

BY CAROLYN DIX REMER SPECIAL TO DISPATCH MEDIA GROUP The largest BIA Parade of Homes in years is in its final week, offering attendees the chance to tour 16 impressive new homes featured in the family-friendly Verona neighborhood in Powell, one of Ohio’s top school districts.

VERONA Continued from page 7

the scene, as it can be difficult to find new development in the area, noted Gianni Romanelli, vice president of Romanelli & Hughes. Or, if you are simply curious about design and decor ideas for updating your current home, whether it’s the latest trends in hardwood flooring, ideas for outdoor entertaining or to shine a light on the latest in light fixtures, the Parade is the place to be. Daily “Meet the Designer” events will be held at a different home each day of the Parade to provide visitors with further advice and insight. To help you plan your Parade visit, Jim Hilz, executive director of the BIA of Central Ohio, offered some tips. “There is a lot of walking, and you will climb a lot of stairs,” he said, so comfortable shoes are a must. He also suggested having your phone on hand to take photos of the different homes and ideas, but mostly to “take your time and enjoy yourself.” For visitors that are not able to get through all 16 homes in one visit, a secondday ticket is half-priced and second-day parking is free. Not only is this year’s Parade of Homes the largest since 2005, providing visitors with even more ideas and inspiration, but it does not get much better when it comes to those three most important of real estate words, Hilz said. Location, location, location. Powell prides itself on being a familyfriendly location, offering all the services of a big city while maintaining that smalltown feel, said Steve Lutz, city manager for the City of Powell. The Verona neighborhood, located where Shamrock Golf Club once stood, is just minutes away from all of life’s conveniences, including shopping, grocery stores and restaurants. Turn left out of the development’s stately entrance and in minutes you will be in the charming historic district. Turn right, and you will come upon the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and Zoombezi Bay. Plus, there are plenty of recreational areas, including golf courses, playgrounds, pools, bike paths and parks, and, planted between the Olentangy and Scioto Rivers, the city offers breathtaking scenic river views, Lutz said. Major access freeways are just a short ride away for the commute downtown or a neighboring community. In fact, if you stop by the Parade of Homes today, you can also make a trip over to the Powell Street Market, where downtown Powell is lined with vendors offering arts and crafts, food, antiques and more until 5 p.m. The Verona neighborhood features 112 single-family estate lots, perfect for growing families, as well as 54 patio-home lots offering a low-maintenance and low-stress option for baby boomers and empty nesters, Romanelli said. The builders included in the 2016 Parade of Homes are Romanelli & Hughes, 3 Pillar Homes, Bob Webb Homes, Compass Homes, Coppertree Homes, Dani Homes, Manor Homes, M/I Homes, Memmer Homes, New England Homes, P&D Builders, Pulte Homes, Rockford Homes, Sierra Custom Homes, Trinity Homes and Weaver Custom Homes. Bob Webb built this year’s Foundation Home. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this home will go to the BIA Foundation and the charities it supports, including Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio.

THE HEART OF THE PARADE

2016 BIA Foundation Home Builder: Bob Webb Homes

IMAGES JE EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY The Foundation Home, built this year by Bob Webb Homes.

BY CAROL RICH SPECIAL TO DISPATCH MEDIA GROUP This year, as in past BIA Parades, one home is drawing special attention. While every BIA Parade of Homes entry is stunning, the BIA Foundation Home, built this year by Bob Webb Homes, stands out for its generosity as well as its beauty. Paradegoers are being wowed by this “home with a heart,” with its oneof-a-kind design. Proceeds from the Foundation Home’s sale benefit Habitat for Humanity-MidOhio, as well as other charities, through the BIA Foundation. “We’re really proud of what we do and how we do it, and to use our work to promote a good cause makes it even more special,” said Scott Shively of Bob Webb Homes. “Bob Webb and Becky Webb are really excited about building the Foundation Home. Most of our subcontractors, vendors and suppliers wanted to do it too, so they were happy to step up to the plate.” Vendors, suppliers and trades who work on the Foundation Home help lower the cost of building it by generously donating or discounting their services and materials. Their goodwill ensures that more money from the sale of the Foundation Home will go directly to Habitat and other local charities. Since 1960, Bob Webb Homes has been building exceptional custom homes featuring built-to-last crafts-

manship. A family-owned business, the company infuses the homes they build with one-of-a-kind detail, energy efficiency, leading-edge technology and innovative features. Bob Webb Homes has won a multitude of awards, including dozens of gold awards at the BIA Parade of Homes. They have been a Parade builder more than a dozen times. This year’s Foundation Home home exemplifies Bob Webb Homes’ talent for design. The spectacular 5,489square-foot, five-bedroom home is as livable as it is gorgeous. “The key to this home is its functionality — it’s very user-friendly,” Shively said. “It’s a very large home, but it’s very comfortable and inviting.” The Bob Webb Foundation Home smoothly combines a weathered farmhouse look with chic urban style. The first floor showcases standout steeland-glass doors, wood beams, brick walls and reclaimed hardwood floors. “When you walk into this house, you could be in a loft in New York City or a rustic farmhouse. It has the feel of both and it’s pretty cool,” said Shively. “It’s a very eclectic home, but it all flows together.” One of the home’s highlights is its huge, octagon-shaped chef’s kitchen with bay windows that look out on breathtaking views of the surrounding green space. The kitchen features the Bob Webb-exclusive Messy Kitchen, a prep-and-pantry area that’s ingeniously designed so homeowners can close it off from the rest of the space, via a

pocket door, to keep everyday messes out of sight. A full-sized staircase leads directly from the garage to the lower level with its guest suite and pub. The family foyer, complete with pet center, provides a place for everyone in the household to stow their belongings

and charge their devices. Throughout, the home features the beautiful built-ins that are a Bob Webb Homes’ signature. Added Shively, “I can’t imagine anybody walking into this house and not being blown away.”

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME

Building a case for purchasing a Parade home BY CAROLYN DIX REMER SPECIAL TO DISPATCH MEDIA GROUP As you walk the halls of the 16 magnificent homes in this year’s BIA Parade of Homes, taking in the immaculate kitchens, trendy furniture and unique details, like herringbone walls, you may not realize that you could be walking through someone’s house. Several of the Parade homes have already been purchased, and after the crowds oohing and ahhing their way through the Parade route have all gone home, these homeowners can officially come home, too. “A pre-Parade buyer needs to have the right temperament and perspective on more than 30,000 people walking through their home before they actually move in,” noted Dan Dillon,

co-owner of P&D Builders, whose Parade home has been sold. But, there are also quite a few perks to purchasing a Parade home prior to the Parade itself. “They get an all-hands-ondeck experience beyond the regular experience of a home build,” said Lee Somolonides, sales and marketing manager at 3 Pillar Homes, adding that homeowners get to work with a multitude of experts bringing them some of the most creative ideas on the market. Purchasing a Parade Home can also bring added value to the homeowner. “Generally, due to manufacturer, supplier and contractor interest in showcasing CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

their products and work, the Parade buyers are often getting $60,000 or more in free upgrades and novel, cutting-edge products and features,” Dillon said. The 3 Pillar Parade home has also been sold prior to this year’s Parade, as were their last two Parade homes. For them, they like the idea of a presold home, as it allows for not only the architects or designers to weigh in with their ideas, but for decisions to be made in light of the homeowner’s goals and lifestyle, Solomonides said. She believes that the combination creates a home

that speaks to what central Ohio residents want in a home today. And for those instances in which the direction of the designers and homeowners may differ greatly, the builder will often go with what they want for the Parade but after will change aspects as needed for the homeowner, Solomonides said. Either way, she noted that they will go in and touch up the house following the Parade to make sure it is fresh and movein ready for the homeowner, a process that usually takes about two weeks.

But if you missed the boat on purchasing a home in this year’s Parade, there is still plenty of value in purchasing one of the Parade homes after the fact. When you purchase a Parade home, you are “acquiring a home that reflects all of the special features and professional decorating efforts that generally don’t come along with a typical build,” Dillon said. “Parade sites generally carry a positive image for decades forward.”

The pros know how to facilitate new-build financing

IMAGES JE EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY Memmer Homes’ Parade house great room.

You can take it to the bank. Nothing is more exciting than building a brandnew home, designed to perfectly suit your family and your lifestyle. But financing a new build is a little different than getting a mortgage on an existing home. To learn the ins and

outs of new-home financing, we sat down with First Federal Lending Senior Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer Mary Ann Stropkay, who oversees First Federal’s residential lending team, and asked her all of our questions. Many BIA Parade builders work closely with First

Federal to make sure their customers are well connected with a lender experienced in the new-build process. Can I get pre-approved before building begins on my new home? Great question! Yes and no. We certainly look to pre-qualify buyers, based on

credit history, amount of the loan, etc. But with new construction, we have the added dimension of reviewing the plans for the home itself. What makes financing a new build different than purchasing an existing home?

A newly constructed home has added risk to the borrower beyond that of an existing home, based on the builder’s ability to finish the project within the schedule and budget and without issues. That means the borrower, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

the bank and the builder work together throughout the process, generally six months or more, to ensure that everyone is happy with the finished product. What options exist if I need to remain in my existing house until my new home is completed? If the borrower has an ex-

isting home to sell, we offer both bridge loans and Home Equity lines of Credit. That makes it possible to use the equity in the existing home to begin construction on the new home. How does financing work on a new build? Do you close on the loan before the home is completed

— or after? We evaluate the borrower’s ability to repay the new home based on the approved plan and “close” on the new project, prior to a shovel hitting the ground. Typically, the first part of the loan pays for the initial work on the project—the foundation work. The Bank will monitor the process to

ensure that all of the work is completed prior to funds being disbursed to the builder. The builder is paid as the work is approved and completed. He or she will pay subcontractors throughout that process. What happens if we decide to add features or upgrades that increase the

cost of the home after we get pre-approved? Those upgrades can be paid out-of-pocket by the borrower or through a contingency budget. The first scenario is the best, but either situation requires the lender be kept in the loop for any changes requested by the borrower.

INTERIOR DESIGN

Meet the designer

IMAGES JE EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY As in years past, guests will find a Christmas theme in the Coppertree Homes Parade house (as seen above and on the next page.)

When asked why they attend the Parade of Homes, the No. 1 reason guests site for why they attended is the incredible opportunity the Parade offers to see the latest looks and get great design and home improvement ideas for their own homes. Thus, the BIA created Meet the Designer, a

unique chance for paradegoers to meet one-on-one with the interior designers for each of the 16 luxurious homes that make up this year’s Parade. Every day at 2 p.m., a different interior designer will be on hand to meet with guests in the home they decorated.

The designers will discuss the latest colors and trends in home interiors, share their inspiration for their Parade home’s decor and offer tips for turning any home interior from drab to dazzling. See next page for the Meet the Designer schedule for the remainder of the Parade.

All decked out High-definition graphics make Zuri decking look and perform far better than its real-wood cousin Royal Building Products is pioneering exterior home finishes with its Zuri full cellular, PVC board composite decking. Because Royal uses no wood flour in its process, water can’t penetrate, making Zuri more durable than other decking materials. A super-tech printed image is screened directly onto Zuri, resulting in a stunningly realistic stained-wood appearance without the requisite maintenance and typical problems with wood rot and fading. The final product is capped in a sleek acrylic coating for great looks and durability that can stand up to the elements. Equally durable in any climate, Royal Building Products’ Celect siding and trim boards are another high-tech application for home exteriors. PVC has been propelled to popularity for home siding, but the company’s extruded process gives it a harder, more durable shell that’s Kynar Aquatec coated in any of 18 designer colors. Competing products come only in white, requiring paint and lifetime maintenance. Royal’s proprietary interlocking seam system hides the fastening and leaves no unsightly gaps or ugly joints. And because this siding and trim are seamless, the system requires absolutely no annoying caulking. Both Zuri

decking and Celect siding and trim offer an unheard-of 25-year warranty. But all that gorgeous technology is available indoors as well. The latest application gaining lots of looks is the new luxury vinyl tile plank flooring from America’s Floor Source. Durable and water resistant, LVT looks exactly like its hardwood twin, yet

performs better and offers a softer feel underfoot. LVT is even available with an inner layer of cork for added give and softness. Today’s high-definition graphics are turning once phony-looking laminates into eye-catching imposters that fool even the pros. Similarly, ceramic porcelain tile in wood-grain finishes is on stage at the Parade. The incredibly realistic

tiles offer a harder finish than LVT with grain and texture definition that perfectly mimics real wood or stone. “We’re helping our customers use tile in really interesting ways,” said America’s Floor Source designer Pam Sherman. “These tiles perform incredibly well, especially in wet environments such as the kitchen or bath because they’re so durable and won’t scratch.”

Sherman added that she’s seeing rich tile treatments that hark back to the 1920s and ‘30s with elegant black and white mosaics and rich, tweedy herringbones. Products from both Royal Building Products and the latest from America’s Floor Source can be found in homes throughout the Parade.

High energy Energy efficiency saves money, increases home value Thirteen of the 16 homes in the BIA Parade of Homes have been built to EfficiencyCrafted® specifications. An EfficiencyCrafted home is built to nationally recognized standards for energy-efficient construction. Participating builders use an integrated whole-house approach that incorporates high-performance equip-

ment and building practices, together with independent testing and verification to help ensure that quality and savings endure for decades to come. Energy efficiency is measured using the Home Energy Rating System or HERS score. Homes are certified at different efficiency levels with HERS scores being assigned by an independent rater. A lower HERS score means better energy efficiency, and EfficiencyCrafted homes have a lower HERS than a typical code-built home. Lower utility bills, with no sacrifice

in comfort, are a primary benefit of building an EfficiencyCrafted home, which typically uses up to 30-percent less energy for heating and cooling than a standard-built home. All EfficiencyCrafted homes are built to minimize leaks and drafts that cause hot and cold spots. The innovative use of insulation, advanced sealing techniques and high-efficiency heating and cooling systems work together to provide year-round, wallto-wall comfort. Additional insulation and better sealing also create a quieter envi-

ronment. With its active, fresh-air systems that improves air quality, reduces humidity and removes odors, an EfficiencyCrafted home can also be a healthier place to live. Since the program was introduced in 2010, more than 120 builders have enrolled and more than 10,500 EfficiencyCrafted homes have been built. Nearly half of these also earned the Energy Star Certified Homes label, which requires builders to incorporate additional building and energy performance features.

Tiny House brings big ideas to Parade The idea of living in just 160 square feet of space presents quite a contrast to the largest house in the BIA Parade of Homes at 6,100 square feet. For the first time ever, a Tiny House will be on display at the Parade, offering considerable juxtaposition to the luxury of the average Parade home. A project of junior and senior high school students at Columbus City School District’s Fort Hayes Metropolitan Education Center Carpentry Program, the Tiny House stands 13.3 feet tall and is 8.7 by 21 feet. Around 30 students worked on the house over a year, learning all phases of design-build construction, from creating a material list and cost sheet, to floor and wall framing and installing windows and doors, wood siding, a metal standing-seam roof, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, cabinetry and countertops, trim, drywall, flooring and paint. The home’s exterior is 100-percent cedar siding and features a porch. Inside, Parade guests can check out a queen-size sleeping loft, and a living area with a TV, DVD player and a pullout couch that sleeps two. The fully function-

ing kitchen has a microwave convection oven and stovetop burners. The full bath features a shower with on-demand hot water. “The BIA and the industry need to support the Fort Hayes construction programs,” said BIA Executive Director Jim Hilz. “We need to develop skilled trades to support residential and commercial construction, and there are great opportunities for these students. Displaying their home shows everyone their skills and creativity.” Joseph Rader, a career tech academic specialist with Columbus City Schools added that the Fort Hayes program offers young people the opportunity to gain marketable skills that are very much in demand. “We have students in the program getting real-world experience where they go to school while working for top local builders. They graduate from the program employable and ready to work,” Rader said. Rader and Fort Hayes carpentry students will be on hand at the Parade to talk with guests about the program and details of the tiny house.

Fully charged As busy families discover the importance of staying connected, this year’s Parade homes show a new level of sophistication in the way they are wired to keep everyone juiced up. Drop-and-go stations, in-kitchen organizing and even homework nooks feature computers and multiple charging docks, all with unsightly balls of wires hidden neatly behind the wall.

But proving that the best ideas are often the simplest, this under-counter built-in charger, found in the kitchen nook of the Sierra Homes Parade house, gets a sticker in our book. Hardwired directly to the home’s electrical system, multiple family members can simply place their phone on the countertop sticker for auto charging — all without having to search for those ever-elusive cords and cubes.

DESIGN CONCEPTS

The 2016 Parade of Homes showcases fresh design trends BY CAROLYN DIX REMER SPECIAL TO DISPATCH MEDIA GROUP

Climbing the walls

The modern vintage feel weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been seeing in homes? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just antiques and reclaimed wood that are making an appearance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wallpaper is making a comeback,â&#x20AC;? declared Joy Coulter, co-owner of Couture Design & Staging and interior designer for Manor Homes and 3 Pillar Homes. It may not be lining the walls of the modern-day main floor, but expect to see it as a way to add a pop of personality and design in smaller spaces, such as offices or powder rooms.

On the surface Countertops may be trending toward lighter colors, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing on kitchen, bar and bathroom countertops. They are getting a matte makeover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shiny is out,â&#x20AC;? said Jeff Memmer, owner of Memmer Homes. Homeowners are veering toward matte finishes that give the counters more character and an aged look, he said, noting it provides a â&#x20AC;&#x153;much more organic feel.â&#x20AC;? Now, homeowners are opting for choices like granite with honedleather finishes, said Jeff Yates, project manager for Manor Homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The high-gloss and polished finishes seem to be higher maintenance, and people are looking for easier items to take care of,â&#x20AC;? added Neal Hauschild, owner of Nth Degree and designer for the P&D Builders Parade home. Butcher-block countertops are another option to soften the look of surfaces in areas such as the laundry room, pantry or basement bar, Mem-

mer said. And while waterfall islands â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where countertops continue down the sides of the island to the floor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are also popular, and certainly add a contemporary flair, they are an expensive feature, warned Michelle EthridgeCraycraft, owner of Instyle Interiors.

Floor it Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trending in floors? Hardwood still remains popular, but homeowners are now opting for wider boards, said Carla Porter, lead designer at Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Floor Source. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five inches is pretty much the norm, but six to seven inches is gaining momentum,â&#x20AC;? she said. Darker color hardwoods are still popular, creating a sleek and modern feel, particularly when paired with whites, she said. But, she noted that lighter colors are also trending, providing a more casual feel and showing less dust than their darker counterparts. Gray woods are also being introduced more and more into the home. But one of the biggest trends? Going rustic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The latest hardwood trends are going more rustic, consisting of both wirebrushed and reclaimed styles,â&#x20AC;? Porter said. Wirebrushed wood flooring offers a subtle texture to the floor while maintaining a smooth appearance, helping to mask any small dings or scratches that may happen to the floor. To get a closer look at wirebrushed flooring, be sure to look down when visiting the Sierra Homes Parade house. Not only do rustic styles provide the casual feel and look many homeowners want, but they are also easy to maintain and touch up, Porter

said.

Lighten up When it comes to walls, cabinets and countertops, 2016 is trending light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gray has been so dominant, but now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a movement away to more organic, warmer grays and sand tones,â&#x20AC;? said Ruthanne Hanlon, color and design manager for PPG Architectural Coatings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are staying in the neutral range, but people want something new.â&#x20AC;? This trend is noticeable throughout the 2016 Parade homes, where shades of grays and whites dominate the wall, counter and cabinet colors. But for those wanting a pop of color, Hanlon said there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real big craving for anything authentic or natural,â&#x20AC;? and that she is seeing lots of mineral blues. But come 2017, expect to see a purple color story. PPG named Violet Verbena as its 2017 color of the year, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;greyed-off, moody purple with a chameleon-like presence.â&#x20AC;? Next to whites, Violet Verbena looks more purple, but it becomes a more cooler, neutral shade when paired with other neutrals, Hanlon said. Not sure if you want to go with a bold color like purple or a more organic neutral in your home? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid,â&#x20AC;? Hanlon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paint is the least expensive way to transform a space and the easiest to change.â&#x20AC;? And while hardwoods have become more pervasive throughout the home, including the second-floor hallway, carpet remains the go-to for

many when it comes to the bedroom. “Textured and patterned styles are still popular,” as are soft yarns, which are becoming more affordable and appealing to homeowners, Porter said. For tiles, large-format tiles are increasing in popularity, and the wood-looking tiles in lighter shades are popular for both floors and walls, Porter said. Fun-shaped mosaics, such as hex, elongated hex, arabesque and geometric shapes are also popular, often found in the kitchen backsplash, she added. Porter shared that printed tiles are

another option for homeowners who want an updated take on perhaps a more traditional look. Each tile has a print that forms a cohesive design when paired with the other tiles, another eye-catching detail great for a backsplash and a creative way to add some color or interest to your home. Subway tiles have certainly been trending for a while now, and while they remain a popular choice, Porter noted that homeowners are opting for larger subway tiles, as large as 6-by-18inch format tiles, creating an updated

feel that is both sleek and modern. Looking for something different for your home? How about bringing the outside in? Another trend you can expect to see more of is brick inside the home, Porter said, both natural and painted, and it can be found in everything from backsplashes to feature walls.

A quick fix

If you’re fixing to update your home, lighting fixtures can be some off the simplest ways to freshen up your home decor.

Expect to see large-scale fixtures in all areas of the home, said Angela Nuessle, national interior design director for Pulte Homes, as well as mixed finishes. In the Pulte Homes Parade home, you can see the mixed-finish look in the decorative lighting, where aged black iron is mixed with various metal tones. Nuessle added that “vintage industrial is a strong emerging style trend in lighting and will be very popular for 2017,” and that midcentury will be a strong style driver as well.

Wildlights

IMAGE JE EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY

Lighting in the 3 Pillar Homes Parade house illuminates with sophistication and plenty of crystal, shimmer and modern metallic bling. Bigger, brighter and more creative than ever, home lighting function has found new artistic form. From elegant sculptural works, to dazzling jewel-like chandeliers and outrageously creative recycled pieces, home lighting now does much more than just shed light. A trio of mammoth brass pendants swings over a crisp, white kitchen in the Memmer Parade home. But this isn’t the super-shiny yellow brass of old. Instead, today’s fixtures feature warm burnished hues of amber

golden. In the Bob Webb Homes house, ebony metals are angled into a cubist forms that provide a stylish contemporary focal point to an oft-forgotten stairway landing. Bedrooms and baths are graced with elegant fixtures dripping with glittery crystals. And heretofore plumbing fixtures are fashioned into a whimsical chandelier that peers down upon the butler’s pantry. A trifecta of high-end, one-of-akind chandeliers elegantly marry rugged, handcrafted flatware with glitzy, egg-sized crystal baubles. This bit of hardware steals the show in the expansive kitchen of the Compass house. The rich look of gaslight warms the mammoth kitchen greatroom of the Weaver house, with two pendants dangling over a real-wood range hood and another wheel of light glowing above the table. It all adds up to 16 homes packed with bright beauty. And savvy paradegoers will be sure to look up in order to really see the light.

IMAGES JE EVANS PHOTOGRAPHY The lower level in Coppertree Homes Parade house has an old-time drive-in theme.

Lower-level lifestyles Gone are the days of the boring basement that held nothing more than a discarded TV, grandma’s sofa and a few musty boxes. Today’s homeowners are turning space that was once an afterthought into a coveted spot to embrace hobbies and passions. This year’s Parade homes showcase that trend. First stop: The Romanelli & Hughes home, where this gleaming, glass-encased fitness center leaves no excuse to skip a workout. Coppertree Homes’ 1950s diner offers a fun-filled entertaining space where families can relax together and enjoy old-time fun. A golf simulator lets the homeowner perfect his swing in the Manor Homes house. And a must-see feature is the unusual glass foyer floor that gives a voyeuristic view to the dramatic wine cellar below in the P&D Builders home. With every inch of today’s home performing a function, homeowners are finding ways to bring their passions to a higher level in their home’s lower level. Guests will see more than a dozen wildly creative examples at this year’s Parade of Homes.

FIND YOUR INSPIRATION

One nationally known designer uses vacation photos to drive a look you will love When Ruthanne Hanlon checks out and heads to the beach, she’s still working. As National Color and Design Manager for PPG Architectural Coatings, the parent company for Pittsburgh Paints, Hanlon is the go-to gal for all of North America when it comes to color and its role in interior and exterior design. From HGTV to national home magazines, Hanlon is quoted as that guru who brings you the latest color trends. But she doesn’t just make this stuff up. Hanlon finds inspiration in the moments, people and places that speak to her heart — and the hearts of homeowners. On her most recent vacation, Hanlon captured this evocative image of her beloved dog, Lady Grace, running on a sandy beach. She worked closely with Pam Cinelli of Compass Homes to use it as the inspiration for Compass’ Parade house this year. “Ruthanne and I both love using something meaningful, like an unforgettable vacation moment, as a design inspiration,” said Cinelli. “At Compass Homes, we work closely with our buyers to help them identify what’s most special to them; then we build that into the design. The process pretty much ensures that they’ll love their new home.” Parade guests will find it

easy to spot the colors from this photo and the restful feelings they stir: The overcast gray-blue sky with its big, puffy off-white clouds; the warm sand; soft gray seagulls

with their variegated wings; and the green-gray ocean with it’s frothy surf all provide color inspiration. Even the rich black and tan of Hanlon’s lovely rescue dog, Lady

Grace, are found throughout the home. “You can always find the best inspiration for design in the things you love,” Hanlon said.

We’re betting guests will find plenty of inspiration in each of the 16 houses in this year’s 2016 Parade of Homes.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Cool landscaping heats up outdoor living As the heat of summer gives way to cooler nights, Parade guests can discover the coolest ways to enjoy the season weather in non-traditional outdoor spaces. From a rushing water wall, like this one seen at the M/I Homes house, to spaces that transform before your eyes, the 2016 Parade of Homes offers plenty of outdoor inspiration for visitors to take home. This year’s outdoor living areas are designed on a much larger scale than in years past, according to Parade of Homes landscape designer Patrick Affourtit of Blendon Gardens. These spaces are more elaborate and designs feel bigger-

than-life, with mammoth two-foot square pavers that allow for larger-scale patterned patios. “The days of small patios are gone,” Affourtit said. “Not just at the Parade, but everywhere, you see people wanting more in their outdoor living area.” Another popular trend is toward artistic water features. Whether it’s a waterfall or a koi pond, it seems that everyone likes a little water feature incorporated into their outdoor space, Affourtit said. “They’re in demand, mostly because of the resonance they create,” said Affourtit. “The sound of rushing water has a very calming effect.”

This calming effect plays into another trend, as well. More and more, Affourtit says outdoor spaces are becoming spa-like. No longer just spaces for entertaining, outdoor living areas are becoming restful escapes for homeowners. One older outdoor trend that’s being replaced is the once-popular wood-burning fire pit. In its place, fire bowls are now the rage. Affourtit said gas-burning bowls are favored over wood-burning units purely for their ease of use. “People prefer gas-burning fire bowls because they don’t have to chop up or purchase wood in order to enjoy them,” Affourtit said.

Escape with hardscapes

The latest trends in upping your outdoor living experience BY CAROLYN DIX REMER SPECIAL TO DISPATCH MEDIA GROUP Want to add more living space to your home? We suggest doing it the hard way. Hardscapes are the hard surfaces used outside the home, including pavers, water features and fireplaces, and they are one of the biggest trends in homes.

“Homeowners are putting more money into their homes to increase the value but also to enjoy them more,” said Matt Moore, hardscape sales manager for Oberfields. Among the most popular hardscape trends are structures like pergolas over patios, he said, providing another “room” for homeowners, noting that they are a much more affordable way for homeowners to add to the home. With built-in fireplaces and TVs in the pergola, the structures increase a home’s character and extend its living space. Pavers have increased in popularity, with homeowners opting for bigger and more linear sizes that bring

a contemporary feel to the hardscape, Moore said. He is also seeing lots of textures, including slate-looking surfaces that are man-made, keeping the costs down. Face-mix pavers are also popular, created with a technology that allows a more natural-looking surface while maintaining rich, deep colors. Homeowners have been drawn to cement pavers, cut and gauged natural stone imported from other countries that Moore said provide a lot of character, and porcelain tiles, which look like porcelain used inside the home, but using larger, more durable tiles for the outdoors. Warm, dark browns were the go-to

colors of years past, but Moore said that cooler gray colors, both dark and light, are increasing in popularity for hardscapes. And while fireplaces and fire pits remain a hardscape trend, other sources of light are also making themselves seen in hardscapes. Homeowners are placing lighting under the caps of walls and stairs, casting down a subtle lighting that assists in extending the use of the outdoors later into the evening. Uplights on the outside of the home and on trees are also becoming popular, making the home appear more inviting, Moore said.
