Next month, on Tuesday, November 4th, I urge each and every one of our members, as well as your employees, friends and family members, to exercise their right to vote. All elections are important; however, this year’s elections in Kentucky have importance not only for our state, but also for our nation.

One of the most closely watched races in the United States Senate is the race between Mitch McConnell and Alison Lundergan Grimes. The NAHB Build PAC has supported Senator McConnell in this race.

The State legislature races are also very important.

The BIA has good working relationships with nearly every elected state official and will continue to work with those who are elected to enact pro-business, industry-friendly legislation at the state level. It is important to research the candidates running for state legislature to understand their values and opinions on issues that would affect the building industry. This enables you to make an educated decision and vote for the candidate you think is best for the job.

There have been many candidates supported by the Building Industry Political Action Committee (BIPAC) of BIA Louisville for this year’s general election. These candidates have been supported by BIPAC because they have exhibited their support of the Building Industry through their actions and in meetings with the BIPAC. Please strongly consider voting for these candidates on November 4th:

Oldham County Kevin Eldridge – Magistrate District 6

Jefferson County Public School Board Steph Horne

The Value of BIA Membership An at-a-glance perspective on how BIA events, committees and activities help members reach customers and impact the community Everyone knows the tangible benefits of their BIA membership -- the workers comp and insurance plans are just a couple.

However, there are many intangible benefits that add to the value of being a member of BIA. More specifically, there’s a tremendous value within the association’s external and internal events, committee work and activities. Here’s a look at how members can benefit from those.

Connecting with Customers in 2015 BIA’s events reinforce the value of being able to communicate with consumers. That was proven during the economic downturn. Although many consumers were hesitant to invest until the market improved, they were, however, listening, doing their research and determining who they would eventually do business with. In many cases, they turned to BIA events as trusted resources. Now, members are reaping the rewards of being able to communicate with these hesitant consumers who witnessed the determination of BIA members. These members who continued to be visible and vocal through the association’s external events.

“The great thing about our association is that we offer something for everyone in this industry.”

– Gail Schell

BIA Vice President of Events and Operations Gail Schell is always one to taut the benefits of the major events, but she realizes that not every member is going to participate. “Of course I love to promote our big events, such as the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World. But, having said that, the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World is not for everyone. For some of our members, the Home Product Expo, presented by Window World is a better fit,” she explainedWhether it’s a major event or a smaller internal event like Table Top Night, Schell said that members can find event venues that enhance their business. “The great thing 6 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

about our association is that we offer something for everyone in this industry. I love to learn about our members and get a feel for what they need and see how we can make their membership work best for them through our events,” Schell added.

As the market continues to improve, BIA’s events are a great way to connect with potential customers. Here’s the signature external event lineup in 2015.

Home Product Expo, presented by Window World Jan. 17-18, 2015 Paroquet Springs Conference Centre Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World Feb. 27 - Mar. 1, 2015 Kentucky Expo Center Homearama July 11-26, 2015 Spring Farm Lake Tour of Remodeled Homes Aug. 8-9, 2015 To keep up-to-date with BIA events, visit bialouisville.com and click on “Signature Events.”

The Value of BIA Membership How Can Members Piggyback on Event Buzz?

BIA external events have long-standing reputations within the region.

Simply being associated with those events lends credibility to members who actively promote their involvement with them. If a member is an active participant of these events, the value skyrockets. However, members can take advantage of the publicity generated by each event in many ways, even if they aren’t setting up a booth or actively participating. Members can join in the buzz surrounding BIA events by posting them on their Facebook pages and other social media venues.

For example, posting something simple like “Make sure to check out the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World next weekend. I hear that there will be some interesting educational sessions” can communicate a behind-the-scenes perspective that customers admire.

At the very least, BIA events are natural conversation starters with potential customers, while waiting in line at the coffee shop or watching the kids’ soccer games. Being part of the “event conversation” is a value to BIA members. Many people in the community turn to members as a resource about what’s happening in the home industry. By being knowledgeable about the events, members can increase their credibility with customers.

Did You Know?

Committee Work Performed on Behalf of BIA and NAHB Saves Everyone Money

Committee work performed by BIA members really pays off, literally. The Land Development and Governmental Affairs Committees are great examples. The code and advocacy work done at the national, state and local level on behalf of the industry can be related in real dollar terms. Last year, the NAHB staff, with the help of state and local members across the country, helped to keep the cost of building a home down $7,250.

“Your membership dollars help to support and fund advocacy efforts that help to keep the cost of doing business within the industry more affordable and possible,” BIA Vice President of Public Affairs & Communications Tara Brinkmoeller explained.

“Even if you do not believe that you have the time or ability to become engaged within the association at this time, your dues investment annually can help keep the industry strong, which, in turn, helps keep you in business,” she added.

Charities and YouthBuild Louisville have tugged at the heartstrings of the Greater Louisville community and demonstrated that the building industry consists of compassionate, generous people who are willing to share their talents, time and money with their fellow community partners who face challenges.

“This is an association that is setting the bar for what it means to be part of the building industry, which plays a vital role in our economy.”

– Jan Van Zant

Reaching customers at the Home, Garden & Remodeling Show.

What Effect Do BIA Events and Activities Have on the Community?

BIA’s role in the community is multifaceted. The association serves as a trusted resource, an economic catalyst, a political liaison, an educator and more. Perhaps most noticeable is its Building Industry Charitable Foundation (BICF), which gives back to the community in tangible ways. The playhouse projects produced in partnership with Kosair

Through all its events and activities, the association and its members continue to make an important impact on the community. Jan Van Zant, Habitat ReStore, serves on the BICF Committee and said the playhouse projects, among other BICF initiatives, demonstrate how the building industry can come together for the benefit of others. She initially joined BIA with the mission to build relationships with remodelers who could donate unused materials to the Habitat ReStore, but she said she has found the association does much more for her. “As a member, if you’re involved, you’re going to get something in return. We’ve had a booth at the Home & Garden Show and have been able to reach a great number of people through that exposure,” she said, noting that the success of the ReStore translates into the number of people who can be helped in the community.

Van Zant emphasized the role that BIA plays in the community and local economy. “This is an association that is setting the bar for what it means to be part of the building industry, which plays a vital role in our economy. When it’s slow, everything is slow. When it’s good, many other areas of the economy are good,” she said.

Clifford (Pete) Thieneman, Jr., Clifford Thieneman Co., has been an active Homearama participant for years and said he recognizes the value of BIA events in the community. “I would imagine the public would be upset if there wasn’t a Homearama. So many people look forward to it each year.” Thieneman said he enjoys meeting new suppliers at the meetings and keeps the idea of “doing business with a member” top-of-mind. october 2014 7

The Value of BIA Membership Events Serve as a Resource for the Community The public often views association events as measuring sticks for how the local home building industry is doing, so its events are important not only to members, but to the community as well. Hosting public events garners attention from media and people who are engaged. When consumers see industry experts at an event demonstrating knowledge of innovative new products that are designed to improve their home and save them money, they pay attention. When they attend Homearama and realize that the majority of new homes are already sold, they feel a little more confident in the market, and perhaps think a little harder about building their dream home sooner rather than later. When they see the talents of area remodelers and how they’ve improved houses at the Tour of Remodeled Homes, they start considering how they can improve their own. For others who never make it out to an event but turn on their TV, hop online or read their newspaper, they see building experts being interviewed because BIA staff is working behind the scenes to pitch story ideas and send out press releases. There is no doubt that BIA events play an important role within the community in more ways than most people think.

How are BIA Committees and Internal Events a Value to Members?

They Help Build Relationships with Customers BIA hosts internal events to ensure members are connecting with other members, many of whom turn to each other for products and services. There are a variety of professions within BIA that serve as customers to one another. Whether that’s through direct purchases of goods or services, or through referrals to other clients, BIA members benefit by simply getting to know each other and sharing the common goal of strengthening the local industry. Table Top Night is a great way to directly promote to fellow members, while networking at general meetings, the annual golf outing, the holiday party and other more social venues is also a value to members.

“By establishing these relationships, you are able to showcase your knowledge, work ethic and dedication to the industry.”

– Tara Brinkmoeller

Serving on committees is an effective way to connect with fellow members (and customers). BIA Vice President Tara Brinkmoeller explained the value of serving on committees, “That’s an excellent way to network with fellow members and develop personal and professional relationships with other members. By establishing these relationships, you are able to showcase your knowledge, work ethic and dedication to the industry. When others observe these characteristics and establish working relationships with you they are more likely to think of you when they need the service or product you offer.”

Schell elaborated on the importance of getting involved. “Tom Raver certainly lives this in the Associates Committee meetings, when over 25 associate members sit around the table and have a chance to introduce themselves and what they do each meeting. Who do you think the ‘Fireplace Guy’ is going to turn to when he needs a custom closet done in his home? One call is certainly going to be made to the person that sits on his committee.”

Jesse Francis, Francis & Co. Insurance, said he views his role on the Retention Committee as a way of giving back to the association. “I be8 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

Members connecting with members at Table Top Night.

lieve that without the association, this industry wouldn’t have as much credence with the public. I go to several events each year even though I’m semi-retired because I want to meet people and stay informed of what’s going on with home building,” he said.

Schell noted that, like any organization, members have to keep in mind that they are only going to get out of their membership what they put into it. “It is just as much about time as it is money. Much of the value of membership is just showing up when it comes to our events and networking opportunities,” she said. Schell emphasized the importance of members keeping in mind the idea that everyone is a potential customer (even fellow members).

Committee Work is a Resume-Builder Serving on committees at BIA also contributes to gaining valuable experience about issues affecting the industry. It also positions members in roles that are valued and respected by other members and those outside the association who regard BIA as an important resource for the local home building industry. As the second largest home builders association in the country, BIA is highly respected on a national level.

Members who serve on its committees can enhance their resumes and increase their industry knowledge simply by being involved.

BIA staff can guide members in deciding which committees they should serve on, events to attend and advocacy efforts they can join in that will help build their resumes as well as their business.

Upcoming Home Product Expo, presented by Window World and Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World Set the Tone for Consumer Interest The upcoming Home Product Expo, presented by Window World and Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World, are viewed by the public as a THE places to go to find the right products, services and people for their home improvement projects. The Home Product Expo, presented by Window World has grown each year and is expected to continue its momentum going into 2015. According to Schell, there are “major feature changes” in the works for the upcoming Home, Garden & Remodeling Show, presented by Window World that will attract more attention and excitement surrounding the event.

Part 1 of 2 articles about the upcoming BICF Playhouse Project – the November issue of Louisville Builder will feature a profile on an additional family with a special needs child.

BICF Playhouse Project Gets Underway Team takes on the challenge of creating a playhouse that’s both a church and a train depot to fulfill two brothers’ dreams

By Stacy Smith Rogers

The newest recipients of BICF’s playhouse project produced in partnership with Kosair Charities and YouthBuild Louisville include two brothers, Noah and Gabriel Renner. Following is a brief look into their lives and a glimpse of how their new playhouse will impact their future ...

Most boys around the age of seven or eight have a revolving door of answers to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?,” but for Noah Renner the answer is always the same. “I want to be a priest.” Anyone who knows him, realizes that this little boy isn’t joking. Noah often reenacts the entire Catholic Mass before bedtime, using his stuffed animal dogs on his bed as parishioners. His mother, Dawn Renner, said his fascination with the Catholic church began when he was an infant. “Even as a baby, Noah was always peaceful in church and was able to settle himself there, where in many other places he could not,” she explained. Noah has been diagnosed with level one cerebral palsy, global developmental delays, microcephaly and a myriad of other physical challenges, including severe sensory integration disorder. “Sometimes the world seems unpleasant to him. His clothes feel funny or the noise is too loud,” Dawn explained. While many of his developmental challenges have been identified, she suspects that he has a genetic disorder as well. When Noah was nine months old, Dawn was told he wouldn’t be able to walk or talk. Despite the struggles he’s had, Noah did indeed learn to walk, and while his speech is very limited (he has severe speech apraxia and dysarthria), he can communicate. That’s evident when he is “celebrating” Mass. He has even recited the “Our Father” and “Hail Mary” prayers in Latin.

Noah was adopted when he was an infant. Dawn, who teaches second grade, recalled that time in her life. “I was single, but I knew I 10 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

wanted to have children, so after a lot of prayer and investigation, I decided to apply to foster children through what they call a concurrent planning program. I knew I was taking a risk in parenting a child who may go back to his home, but it turned out that I was able to adopt all three of my kids. Just 24 months later, I received the call about Gabriel,” she said. Dawn is also mother to adopted daughter Angelina, who came to her when she was around the age of five. Now, she’s nine years old. When asked what has been the most rewarding aspect of her parenting journey thus far, Dawn took a few deep breaths and replied, “Hearing them say, ‘Mommy.’ It was really hard-fought for the boys. I didn’t think they would be able to ever say it. And, for Angelina, it took a long time for her to feel safe,” she said.

“We’ve got a top notch children’s hospital right here.

Nearly every facility we’ve used for the kids’ care is funded in some way by Kosair.”

- Dawn Renner Gabriel was a newborn when Dawn began caring for him. “Originally, they expected that he would be in the NICU for two months, but he wasn’t as premature as they thought, so he ended up coming home in just seven days. I could tell early on that he had some devel-

opmental delays, and with my experience with Noah I knew enough to get First Steps involved. They were already in my home several days a week for Noah, so I made an appointment for Gabriel early on. He was diagnosed with cerebral palsy then, but by the age of two we noticed that his temperament was very difficult and he was having problems with speech,” Dawn recalled. After some testing and researching into his birth family, it was determined that he was suffering from many of the same consequences of fetal alcohol syndrome. He too has a sensory integration disorder, however it is mild compared with Noah’s.

Gabriel graduated from speech therapy around the age of four, which Dawn attributes to early intervention and the help of attentive therapists. Gabriel’s cerebral palsy is mild and he is able to run and play with friends, although he often tires out a little faster than they do.

Dawn said that knowing about the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome help. “You have a picture of where you’re headed,” she explained. Dawn is thankful to have so many resources in Louisville, where high quality care for children is available. “We’ve got a top notch children’s hospital right here. Nearly every facility we’ve used for the kids’ care is funded in some way by Kosair.”

Gabriel has a fascination for trains, so he’s looking forward to inviting everyone to hop aboard his new playhouse. Dawn said that Noah has taken a liking to eating blueberries and often refers to himself as “Father Noah the Blueberry Boy.” So it’s no wonder that when asked what he wanted his new playhouse to be like, he immediately described a church. Angelina is looking forward to enjoying the playhouse, along with her brothers.

BIA and YouthBuild Students Gear Up for a Playhouse Like No Other Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, is gearing up for a unique playhouse build, with plans to incorporate both the church and and train station themes to satisfy both Noah’s and Gabriel’s requests. “We’re going to have the exterior look like an old-time country church, with a kneeler, pew and stations of the cross inside. About three-fifths of this will be the church and just beyond will be a wall where the train station will be. We’ll add a large back porch where ‘passengers’ can walk up and buy tickets,” Pat explained. He said they are even working with a train company on the design and have hopes of taping a real train whistle that can be heard by tugging on a rope chain.

Pat is no stranger to the playhouse project and is excited to once again be involved with it. “It’s so nice to work with these families and give them a refuge for their home and a little piece of happiness. Our hope is that the playhouses help them overcome some of their challenges” he said.

Mark Simpson, Simpson Builders, assisted Durham in the plans for the playhouse. Mark, himself, has participated in the project before and recognizes the value of being involved. “The playhouses are part of a greater purpose. They are our ‘face’ to the public, but what you end up finding out is that being a part of it makes you feel good. It’s such a great project because you hope you are touching somebody else’s life.

Working with YouthBuild is great, and some of these kids go on to stay in the construction field. It’s a good way to expose them to the real world,” he explained.

29th Tour of Remodeled Homes Draws Crowds and Impressive Leads

By Stacy Smith Rogers

The 29th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes was held August 9-10, with 11 projects highlighted. Sponsored by Bonnycastle Appliance & TV, the event drew steady, impressive crowds of attendees despite the hot, wet, sticky weather and a frenzy surrounding another “tour” of sorts (the PGA tournament was being held just a few miles away from some of the homes on display). Projects ranged from historical preservation of a 1900 Victorian-era three-story home in Old Louisville to transforming an entire home and adding an outdoor entertainment area in Crescent Hill to creative solutions for adding square footage and whole house remodels in Anchorage, Prospect and other areas.

Remodelers reported being pleasantly surprised by the turnout and energized by the enthusiasm of the attendees. They’re still making appointments as a result of the interest. Here’s how a few of them described the event ..

“We had somewhere close to 800 people come through our home.

I was very pleased with the turnout, and this project was a lot of fun.

14 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

It was a 1,200 square foot addition that included an amazing transformation of the exterior. You don’t always get a chance to do the exteriors, so the before-and-after pictures were fun to show people. The Tour is a great way to showcase yourself. If you have the right location and the right property, I recommend being a part of it.”

– Stacye Love, Stacye Love Construction

“We had a great turnout, with about 800 people coming through.

During the Tour, we didn’t have a lot of set appointments made, but the day after we were getting phone calls and they continued for a solid month. People really seemed to like the outside screened room with the TV and fireplace, and many of the calls have been requests for outdoor living jobs. This is the sixth year we’ve participated in the Tour. You really can’t look at the results on a year-by-year basis. We feel like each one builds upon the others.”

– Jeff Smith, Redsmith Construction

“It was a very good event for us. This was our second time doing two homes. We had one house that was contemporary and one that was traditional, so it demonstrated we could do different styles. In one home we utilized a garage bay to expand the kitchen. That’s what I really like to do – use existing space. Sometimes it just takes rearranging what you have.

The homeowner had seen us in a couple of tours before and contacted me to see what I could do about her kitchen. After this year’s Tour, we received a call from someone who told me that she had seen me three years ago and had been watching our work. Now, she’s ready (to remodel) and asked me if her home could be on the Tour for next year.”

– Karen McKechnie, Stonehenge Construction “This is the fourth time I’ve worked on this house, so the owners trusted me and the architect to problem solve and create this new space. We took out some walls and combined two rooms. People coming through said they loved the hardwood floors and the extra organizational features with the cabinets. We received about 12-15 leads and had around 550-575 people come through, so we are very pleased.”

– Gary Wooldridge, Wooldridge Brothers Builders

Vincent Abell Contracting, Inc. Wins National People’s Choice Award from Marvin Vincent Abell Contracting, Inc., was recently awarded the 2014 Integrity from Marvin Red Diamond Achiever People’s Choice Award. More than 200 entries competed for this national honor.

Vincent Abell Contracting teamed up with Door Store and Windows to enter Brad and Amber Abell’s Highlands home in the competition. Laurie Scarborough and co-owner Ann Gregory of Door Store and Windows described the Abell project as the “classic newlywed home,” and representative of how thirty-somethings are living now. “Amber and Brad were working to keep a good piece of property vital to our community and I think that helped.

We got a tremendous response from our customers, friends and family. The Marvin company is a fifth-generation, family-owned business and this is a prestigious honor,” Scarborough said.

Abell’s whole house renovation included window replacements throughout and was cited as an example of effective teamwork between the remodeler and the employees at Door Store and Windows to make the project cost-effective, in keeping with the original style of the home, and improving the overall functionality and appearance of the window openings in the home.

“We are honored to receive the national award for our Highlands renovation. I think the project is unique in that we maintained the historical accuracy of the home after a complete remodel. The new Integrity windows are a maintenance-free, fiberglass Ultrex exterior, wood interior with the prairie style grill pattern to match the original wood windows from the 1920s,” Abell explained. The home was also featured in the 2013 Tour of Remodeled Homes. “Thank you to everyone that voted our project online, and for the Door Store and Windows for making this possible,” Abell added.

Keeping Up With (and A

By Nancy Miller

Each year Louisville Builder reviews the latest movements in interior design and décor and takes a look at what’s coming. We’re kept in tune to the latest developments in the marketplace thanks to many Louisville design experts and style watchers. We talked to a few of them so that you, too, would be on top of and in front of the latest, most exciting news in the industry.

Jan Davisson Cherry House Furniture Galleries Design rules are flying out the window and many of the old standards no longer apply. As lifestyles have become more relaxed, so has the approach to design.

I have coined a term that I think fits what is happening in interior design: organic modern. It’s kind of rustic contemporary. The lines are clean and there’s nothing busy or ornate. Often featuring light, not dark, distressed wood, maybe barn wood or driftwood, there’s a slightly raw look to it. Oil rubbed bronze hardware pairs very well with the look because the hardware has an authentic feel.

If a homeowner began to tire of that look, I would suggest adding a glam piece such as a mirrored end table. That brings in balance and totally tilts the appearance away from casual.

Of course, you can get tired of any look or trend if too much of it is used. If an entire house is designed around the same trend, where will you go in five years when it isn’t popular? That happened when people started to use fabric with palm trees all over their house. At the time, I 16 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

suggested using the fabric only on pillows. I adhere to that philosophy when incorporating trendy pieces of any kind.

A trend that I don’t think will go out of style is the use of large, statement art that can be the focal point in a room. And, of course, it’s ideal to use local art, whenever possible.

Who doesn’t want a great bathroom? But great means various things to different people. Some are embracing the return of claw foot tubs. It will be interesting to see where that trend goes. One of the positive things about the tubs is that whereas every nice home used to have a whirlpool, it’s now possible to put a hot tub on the deck and a self standing tub in the bathroom, offering the best of both worlds.

A media room, with huge televisions everywhere can turn into a man cave if you’re not careful. Holy cow! The trick is to balance feminine and masculine.

Ann Cloyd Century Entertainment and Furnishings With tall spaces, such as a two-story great room, the challenge is to take advantage of the vertical space. To do that, I suggest designing them by working down. Don’t hang art too low. Also, have a chandelier that has a major wow factor. The wall going up the stairs is often ignored and left blank. Use that space to display groupings of family photographs. They don’t have to be the same frame, but the colors of the frames should be coordinated.

Wallpaper seemed to have such a bad reputation for awhile, pos-

sibly because it used to be so bold in color and pattern. Now there’s a more minimal approach, with beautiful tone-on-tones and the use of metallics. I love to use wallpaper as a focal point in a master bedroom.

I might have a trim carpenter frame out three rectangular boxes and wallpaper within those boxes. It becomes very artistic and delivers big visual impact.

Mirrors are very important in the latest home décor. They’re such a good way to take advantage of the lighting and reflection in a home.

Remember, mirrors don’t have to just sit over a sideboard in the dining room. In a couple of our Homearama homes, we utilized very inexpensive mirror collages that became works of art.

Lisa Knight Lisa Lynn Designs I don’t mind when a client brings me photographs of projects and things they have seen on Pinterest and Houzz, because the pictures give me a good indication of what the client likes and serve as a starting point. However, if the house doesn’t fit the bill of that design, we may not be able to give them exactly what they saw.

I think what hurts the Internet business is that there are so many people looking for deals and steals, but the buyers don’t have any idea where the products came from and there may be problems when they try to return them.

The most frustrating thing is when someone sees a room on HGTV that costs $2,000. They don’t realize that figure doesn’t take

into account the work that was done at no charge and the actual cost of the goods. Those shows aren’t a true reality of what products cost in the real world, and they set up people with unrealistic expectations.

Just because I, as a designer, love something doesn’t mean the client will love it. But, if the homeowner is indecisive and doesn’t have a vision, they may say they can’t picture what I’m suggesting. When that happens, I say, “Trust me.” Hopefully, they will.

I never want a client to step so far out of their comfort zone that they’re a nervous wreck, but I help them to step out a little because I know they will be happier. I have far more people who say they are glad they did rather than those who say they wish they hadn’t.

There’s a return to glamour. It’s surfacing through diverse elements such as soft fabrics on furniture, chandeliers and other light fixtures, and exquisite glass top coffee tables that have some bling to them.

Lisa Steinbock Steinbock Interiors The heavy, traditional feel in overall design is waning. The story is now more streamlined from furniture to window treatments with less clutter and fewer accessories. But the accessories that are used are making a bigger impact. People are so busy today that they don’t have time for a lot of details and fuss. They’re trying to simplify their lives and their surroundings, whether in their home or office.

That new approach makes it a bit easier for a designer, because there are fewer details to incorporate into the design. However, someoctober 2014 17

Interior Design Hardwood, generally handscraped, remains the flooring of choice in the majority of cases, but the choice is usually 4-inch, 5-inch or 6-inch planks, not the traditional 2 ½-inch wood. There’s also a lot of interest in luxury vinyl tile planks, especially in laundry rooms, mud rooms and for commercial applications. A lot of new tile resembles natural stone, which is a great look. Of course, true flat stone is still used, but it’s usually in homes that have a prevalent Tuscan personality.

The new color for 2015 is olive. Deeper than the olive from the ‘70s, it’s more of a green-gray. I think it will be a good neutral that would be complemented by black or gray, oranges or a deep or Mediterranean blue.

Black or another dark color cabinet with a solid surface countertop and stainless steel appliances create a very updated, sophisticated kitchen. Either hardwood or tile can easily coordinate with them. A decorative hood, copper or other metal, or one that is painted a color different from the cabinets, establishes a strong focal point. In higher end homes, red or blue stoves are making their own very dramatic statement.

times it’s like walking a tightrope between clean lines and not ending up with a room that’s cold and generic. But with a creative direction, the environment will be extremely welcoming and comfortable.

I know gray is supposed to be a really big color now, but we haven’t been using it a lot with our clients. I find that most grays don’t provide the warmth that clients want. To be honest, I want the grays gone, and I’m hearing many people say the same thing. Most of our homeowners do like calm colors, so we’re going with warm neutrals on the wall, such as Sherwin Williams Killiam Beige or Latte. Both are wonderful beiges because they’re warm but don’t have a strong undercolor. One problem with some beiges is that they have a very strong red or green base.

With a neutral background, gorgeous colors like teal or persimmon can be introduced through fabrics and accessories. Blues have made a strong comeback from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, but I don’t think they’ll stay around long, particularly the traditional blues such as Wedgewood. Whenever blue is used, it’s very important that it’s a warm blue. I don’t think you can go wrong with Quietude or Rainwashed, both by Sherwin Williams. They’re perfect for the tranquility of a master bedroom.

To warm up a room, I rely on furniture placement, area rugs, window treatments and a plethora of soft materials. They all introduce visual weight. For two-story tall rooms, I’ll generally use window panels that extend from the second floor all the way down. They frame and emphasize the tall windows but also bring them down in scale so that they seem more manageable. The windows become part of the room rather than simply a bank of windows and an expanse of glass.

I see a lot of metal finishes coming into play, on mirrors, lamps and chandeliers, even on the tops of dining and coffee tables. I like metal because it can be successfully mixed with wood frames and soft upholstery for a terrific look. Metals are great, but they have the power to overwhelm and to be too cold and reflective. So, it’s important to carefully select a few pieces that are just right. For example, use one or two, not five, mirrors in a room.

A s today’s colors are toned down, it’s not surprising that monochromatic palettes are at the forefront of design. Is that dull? Absolutely not. They invite color to be used in accents and artwork. The really fun thing about colorful accessories is that they can be changed out with the seasons. The brighter colors you might use in the fall can be switched with rustic, darker colors that are easier on the eye for fall.

Schumacher and some of the older fabric companies have always had animal prints. Now other manufacturers are following their lead.

Animal prints can be fit into either contemporary or traditional settings. Use them as a statement piece, perhaps on an accent chair, on window panels or wallcovering. But don’t go overboard with them. I wouldn’t suggest an animal print chair on a leopard rug.

For a spectacular look, wallpaper the ceiling. It gives a whole other dimension to a room. Some new wallcoverings are going futuristic with electronics and have LED lights on them, which ties in with the increasing use of metallic finishes. The LEDs are fine to a point but too many of them can make you feel as if you’re in a space ship.

I encourage clients to think eclectically and to design their room with pieces that look as if they ought them at different points, not all in one buying spree.

Karista Hannah Set the Stage

Quite a few people have a general idea of how they want their home to look when they come to us. But they like to put themselves in our

Interior Design

hands, and they don’t want to tie our hands. Even so, for most people, everything is based on budget. Budget drives all the decisions. The clients usually realize that if they did the design themselves and made one wrong decision, they would be unhappy and would have spent money unwisely. They seem to like that we work with them and hold their hand through the process.

Several forecasts presented emerald and citrine, a yellowy gold, as this year’s new colors, but I haven’t really used them. I think most clients want to be a little safer with their color choices. Just like last year, gray is very popular. With a variety of grays, we often use pale blues, pale greens and aquas as soft accent colors. They reflect a beachy look that appeals to a wide audience.

For a long time, gold was out, but not anymore. It’s versatile and can be incorporated into almost any color scheme.

With a new construction project, I begin with the kitchen. The first appointment involves cabinets, because they’re clearly a higher dollar item and need to be worked into the budget. I get the colors squared away before moving on. Every kitchen is unique to the homeowners, but White Shaker cabinets on the perimeter with a different color island, painted or stained, seem to fit the majority of tastes.

After the cabinets are chosen, I concentrate on the countertop or tile, then move onto plumbing, hardwood and carpet. The last thing I address is paint colors, because there are thousands of colors to choose from.

There aren’t many clients who don’t like hardwood, either in a medium or dark stain, sometimes in gray. A minimum of a five-inch plank has become sort of standard. Handscraped and distressed is far more popular than a polished finish.

Although clients may say they want marble in the bathroom, when

it comes down to it, they don’t want to pay for marble. In showers, I use a lot of large tile, perhaps 12” x 24” and an accent tile, perhaps 12inch, laid vertically rather than horizontally.

Light fixture finishes are all over the board, with most people preferring transitional designs. Oil rubbed bronze and nickel finishes still predominate, but the new winter gold mixes well with both of those.

Eric Steinbrenner Brecher’s Lighting LEDs are becoming more consistent in terms of true light color. The color is much warmer and natural than it was a few years ago. That there are many more LED design options, the energy consumption is very low, and costs are coming down are major factors contributing to their popularity.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are the early electric styles that are very simplistic and employ the old Edison-type bulbs. A throwback in style, they interestingly work well with an urban loft, industrial look.

Many designers are getting away from very smooth finishes and are selecting natural, textured materials such as unfinished irons. Further supporting a natural character are manufacturers’ expanded lines of shades with glass cloth or other natural yarns.

There’s a melting pot of styles and finishes from room to room instead of having the same style or finish repeat in each room. But there needs to be some material crossing over from space to space to create flow and not have a complete visual disconnect. october 2014 19

Closet Space A Behind-the-Scenes Selling Point for New Homes

By Stacy Smith Rogers

The secret to happiness isn’t always relationships, wealth or long walks on the beach. Quite often, it’s something that most therapists won’t admit ... effectively designed closet space! In many existing homes, the closets don’t always match up the owners’ needs. In that case, BIA remodelers can problem-solve and save the day. In new homes, however, owners expect closets with plenty of space to keep their things effectively (and attractively) organized. Local closet organization companies strongly recommend predesigning homes to accommodate for storage space requirements. Planning for it up front can save builders a lot of time and money while leading homeowners down the peaceful path toward feeling organized.

The Association of Closet and Storage Professionals has produced a booklet that details those requirements and offers builders guidelines and suggestions for predesigning homes to allow for maximum storage with minimum cost. Working closely with local experts, builders can take advantage of those suggestions to plan ahead for closet design now and save time and money later. Amelia Presler, Closets by Design, explained current homeowners’ expectations when it comes to storage.

“While wire shelving was once an acceptable solution in closets, it’s no longer acceptable to most homeowners of new homes. Adjustability, versatility and strength of shelving are now expected, and these features can only be achieved with solid, floor-based storage solutions,” she explained. According to Presler, most people are looking for as much hanging space as possible, so full ceiling heights are important to accommodate two hanging bars. “Positioning of necessary items such as switches, air vents, attic accesses and soffits can change the way the space is used and become very aggravating to the homeowners,” Presler emphasized.

With consumers asking for more functional floor plans, many with less space and more amenities, it makes sense to consider closet space as a selling point. BIA builders have access to local experts, members of the association who can help them create storage space that’s not just functional but is attractive to consumers who value organization and making the most of every space in their new home. The key, how20 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

ever, is planning for it before the hammers start nailing and the doors are framed. For more information on finding a closet expert, consult a member directory or visit bialouisville.com and search for a member who can help plan ahead to keep those owners happy.

A Few Tips to Keep in Mind for Predesigning Closet Space According to Presler, there are several things to consider when designing closets in new homes. Among them are: • The width of the closet needs to be at least six feet to allow space for hanging on both sides of the closet.

• If two people are sharing a closet, there should be about 6-8 linear feet minimum for each person.

• When building a reach-in closet, ensure that the depth is 24”- 30” deep for hanging clothes, or 19” deep for linens.

• The front wall should have a door that’s no more than two feet shorter than the back wall to prevent long, dark, inaccessible side areas.

• Door swing is important, and can eliminate up to three feet of storage. If a door must swing into the closet, try to allow for at least 12” of space behind the door for shelving, or 24” for hanging. (Pocket doors are great, as long as they are average height.)

• Attic accesses should be only in walk-in closets, and positioned at least 24” from each wall.

• Light switches placed just outside of the door allow uninterrupted space for shelving inside the closet.

SMC Awards Call for Entries A Great Way to Promote Your Business Year Round

By Stacy Smith Rogers

The Sales & Marketing Council of BIA announces its call for entries for its annual Awards of Excellence Program. Now in its 23rd year, the long-standing program was created to promote competition and creativity of design in housing, development and advertising and to recognize outstanding sales efforts among real estate agents.

The value of receiving an Award of Excellence extends well beyond the actual presentation at the awards luncheon. Recipients can benefit from the honor throughout the year and incorporate it into their public relations and marketing plans. BIA Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications Tara Brinkmoeller explained, “The SMC awards can be an extremely helpful public relations tool for any BIA company. You can use the award recognition practically year round.

Initially, you can announce that you’ve won on social media, on your website and in blog posts. Later, you can post photos of the awardwinning project and send information about winning the award to past clients through a newsletter or E-blast.” Brinkmoeller also explained how BIA will promote the award winners. “We will send out a press release announcing all the winners, and we’ll post it online on BIA’s website. In addition, we’ll make a post about each winner on the BIA Facebook page the months following the awards, and all winners will be listed in Louisville Builder magazine,” she added.

There are a variety of categories that are applicable to builder, remodeler or associate members. BIA Member Services Manager Nicole Bouchard noted that the entry forms have been revised to make the awards easier to submit this year. “There is also an early bird price for those members who turn them in ahead of time,” Bouchard added.

To enter a personal achievement category, participants have to be a member of the SMC. New Category Structure Includes More Personal Achievement Categories SMC Chair Rodny Davidson, First Community Mortgage, said the Council redefined some of the categories this year and expanded others. “We sat down and took a close look at the categories and saw some overlapping criteria for some of the marketing awards, so we 22 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

streamlined those. Also, we wanted to expand the personal achievement opportunities for the Realtors, so one of the ways we did that was by creating team and individual categories,” he said.

Participating in the SMC Awards is just one of the benefits of being a member. SMC meetings are always packed with valuable information and networking opportunities, including the upcoming meeting this month featuring motivational speaker Coach Michael Burt.

To learn more about the awards or being a member of SMC, contact Nicole Bouchard at 502-429-6000 or nicole@bialouisville.com.

How to Apply ...

To submit an entry for any category, companies must be in good standing with BIA. For anyone entering in the Personal Achievement Awards category, he/she must be a member of the SMC. All categories must pertain to the seven-county Louisville metropolitan statistical areas and have been built or marketed between November 1, 2013 and October 31, 2014.

Deadlines & Fees

Complete entries, including portfolio, entry material requirements and entry fees, must be received no later than 12 p.m., Wednesday, December 4, 2014. Entries received between October 31 and November 14 receive an early bird price of $35. Entries received after November 14 are $50.

Judging & Awards

All judging will be performed using the entry materials (no on-site house judging). A panel of highly qualified judges selected from the building industry and related fields will evaluate the entries on their own merit. The winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony to be held January 29. Each will be featured in Louisville Builder magazine in March. Trophies will be awarded to winners in the first, second and third place in personal achievement categories and first place for all others.

“Social Media is where consumers are spending most of their time”, is how the presentation started from Jeremy Schell of PriceWeber. The meeting was well attended at their office to find out more about social media and beginners prospective of how to get started. Our four sponsors were: Boland Maloney Lumber, Carpet Specialists, Century Mortgage and Pella Windows.

Social Media must be a part of every company’s marketing strategy. When getting started, set a goal, E.G. what results do you want?

(Sales, followers, referrals, etc. ). Consider how much time you have to devote. The more time you set aside, and the better results you will see. You get what you put into it. What are your resources? If you are using another staff person, make sure they know what you want your company’s message to be. Lastly, what is your budget?

It is important to have a plan when getting started and to make sure your website is mobile friendly. When writing content to put on social media follow the 80/20 rule. 80% should add value to your audience (EG. Industry related info); 20% can be self-promotional. You may be asking, How do I come up with content, especially on a regular basis? You can share other media content (related articles put out by the newspaper or magazines) or put what is happening in the community.

Think of what customers usually ask when contacting your business.

Facebook is becoming an active search engine for brand and company pages. You should keep a personal page separate from your business to keep it professional. It is a good idea to follow your competitors on Twitter. Jeremy suggests you focus on one or two of the many social media outlets, especially if you do not have the time to devote. Start with LinkedIn and Facebook because of the large audience base.

On August 12, 2014, The Bullitt County Council met at Heritage Hill Golf Club in Shepherdsville. We would like to thank our sponsors: Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery represented by Peter Ostaseski and K-I Lumber & Building Materials represented

by Mitchell Dawson. Our ESPN Radio t-shirt winners were: Brad Alvey, Richard Miles, George Miller, Lee Miller, Mike Robey, Derek Smothers, Sandy Wade, Brent Wheeler. Our Heritage Hill Golf Club gift certificate winner was: Tony Thompson.

Our speaker was Bob Valvano. Bob is a seasoned radio veteran on both the local and national level. You can find him on ESPN 680 & 105.7fm weekdays 12 p.m-3p.m. Since 1998, Valvano has hosted “The V Show” on ESPN Radio each weekend to over 450 affiliates.

In addition to his duties as a college basketball analyst on ESPN TV and Radio, he works as a game analyst for the University of Louisville basketball TV and radio broadcasts. Before broadcasting, Valvano coached 21 years at all three NCAA levels, and in Europe for 16 years as head coach. Additionally, Valvano set the single-season record for wins at four schools, three as a head coach. Also, he served as a head golf coach, assistant soccer coach, and assistant Athletic Director throughout his career.

Valvano is a man with passion; this shows in all that he does. As the brother of the late North Carolina State college basketball coach and TV commentator Jim Valvano, he is very active in the V Foundation and authored a book about his brother titled “The Gifts of Jimmy V.” He truly has a heart of gold and inspires so many, and that’s just what he did in Bullitt County on August 12th. Bob spoke about time and how important it is to cherish it, because once it’s gone, that’s one thing you can never get back.

Thank you to Bob Valvano for speaking and to all who attended.

Commercial Council

Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, Chief of newly established Louisville Forward, spoke extensively regarding the new departmental structure within Louisville Metro. This structure will affect every member of the building industry. Louisville Forward is comprised of Economic Development and Develop Louisville, separate departments encompassing every function that impacts the building industry, including planning and design services, business and large retail attraction, business lending and sustainability. Attendees learned about the organizational structure, plans for economic development and anticipated outcomes of this new Louisville Metro strategy.

Louisville Forward was born out of the idea that too many good ideas conceived by Louisville’s minds were not coming to fruition on Louisville’s streets. This department consolidates some areas of Louisville Metro that previously did not communicate, enabling a “concept to permit” powerhouse, in the words of Chief Wiederwohl. This consolidation eliminates redundancy and connects those who create the concepts with those who have the tools to execute them.

Wiederwohl stressed the intent of Louisville Forward to collaborate with industry leaders in both developing and executing strategies in Louisville’s building industry. She invited dialogue, suggesting regularly scheduled meetings with key BIA personnel to ensure members’ interests are at the forefront of her departments’ strategic advances in the building industry.

Change is Here.

corner 2014 BEAM Award given at Table Top Night In August, the Associates Committee chose our 2014 B.E.A.M. Award Winner! We will be awarding this person at Table Top Night with a plaque. Previous year winners include John Miranda and Billy Doelker.

The B.E.A.M. Award stands for Builders Engaging Associate Members. The application covered state and local participation by the builder. Community involvement was a portion and a significant section was based upon the percentage of sub-contractors used that are BIA Members. That percentage for this year’s winner was over 95%!

This award winner has the potential to go on as a state finalist and then onto be a national finalist.
