Or in other words, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Maybe that explains why our readers save their magazines for years for inspiration and direction on projects. Maybe it also explains why our photo galleries on housetrends.com are so wildly popular!

The garden shot, featured on our cover, is a perfect example. Take a look at what lies beyond this Mt. Lookout homeowner’s back door and you just might rethink that underused patio or deck. Perhaps it’s time to create your own private refuge.

For 50 years, Homearama® has been the premier home show featuring the best in home building, but even more, it has been the best resource to see the latest in furnishings, decorating trends, colors and fixtures. In this issue we showcase our favorite rooms from this year’s show. We hope they inspire you with new ideas to put into play in your own home.

We also give you a taste of what’s in store at this year’s CitiRAMA®. Along with the HBA, the City of Cincinnati is committed to inspiring new building ideas and community improvement through this home show. Plus, there are tax abatements that add a whole other level of enticement to the show’s vibrant Northside neighborhood.

When it comes to decorating, one would think the bathroom has limits, but don’t think your personality can’t shine when selecting your bathtub. Our feature, “Soak in Style” has a little something for everyone—even the shoe lovers among us.

It’s really just human nature. We all love to be inspired by beautiful images so here’s our photo gallery of inspiration.

landscape trends Story and Photographs by Sarah J. Dills, Sarah Dills Photography

On�

of the biggest problems in

creating landscape design for home shows is that the landscapers have to make a young landscape look mature. ❙ “They are planted really thick to give the appearance of a mature landscape. During the show everything looks great, but five years down the road we’re going in and removing plants because it’s overgrown,” says Andy Perrino, owner of Perrino Landscape. ❙ While all homeowners want mature trees, flowering bushes and colorful flowers, Perrino says it is imperative to start with a solid foundation and then give the plants time to grow. This can be a long process for homeowners— especially for one of Perrino’s clients who wanted mature trees to provide privacy from the neighbors perched on the hills of Mt. Lookout above her house. ❙ Fortunately, she happens to be an interior designer and is very familiar with the length of time it takes to create a design that’s right the first time.

“ …it gave me the feeling of living in an old neighborhood.”

Patience is a virtue When the landscape team first began work on the newly constructed Mt. Lookout home seven years ago, it was all about the hardscaping.

“Because of our client’s background, she had a clear idea of what she was looking for in her outdoor living area,” Perrino says. “She wanted a patio large enough for entertaining – with a dining area, a living area around a fireplace, and a nice grill.”

The homeowner says she’d been looking to move for five years but couldn’t check everything off her wish list with one property until she stumbled upon one particular home in Mt. Lookout.

“It was a new home, still under construction, so I was able to make design decisions.

Yet it was on a lot where an old home had been torn down, so it gave me the feeling of living in an old neighborhood,” the homeowner explains. “I have the best of both worlds.”

The only downside to the lot was the fact that her neighbors’ homes rested on the hills above. To address that issue, Norway spruce were planted to create a privacy wall.

“Seven years ago we had the conversation, ‘Today, it’s not going to quite provide the privacy you want, but eventually the evergreens will get large enough to provide that privacy’,” Perrino remembers. “She was confident, and now she has the landscaping we envisioned.” continued >

Fleur de Flow A meandering path invites guests from the driveway back to the patio area.

Perrino wanted to create a nice flow around the home – inviting guests in and keeping them intrigued enough to want to see what lies around the next corner.

“I wanted to keep people interested, so we placed a fountain along the path along with several plantings including two large dogwoods, creeping phlox, a butterfly bush and Endless Summer hydrangeas,” he says. “I also strategically placed the stone fireplace on a forty-fivedegree angle so it could be seen from not only the path, but inside the house as well. It helps to invite people outdoors.

You can get a glimpse of the fireplace through the solarium and living room of the home.”

The fireplace has become one of the homeowner’s favorite elements of her

outdoor retreat. “On a cool day, I love to sit around the fire with a big blanket,” she explains. “It’s the little things in life that I enjoy.”

Another bed along the backside of the patio serves multiple purposes. “Blue holly trees and a flowering dogwood create some privacy and enclose the patio so people don’t feel like they’re falling off the patio into the lower back yard,” Perrino explains. “With outdoor living spaces it’s important to create walls with plantings.” continued >

“ I wanted to keep people interested.”

“We’ve created a little piece of heaven out here.”

The sheltering tree “I love gardening,” the homeowner says. “I plant flower pots and nurture them all summer long. I love the nurturing element of gardening.”

Also, the homeowner has selected trees to plant in memory of loved ones over the years. A river birch off the driveway was planted in memory of her father.

“We’ve created a little piece of heaven out here,” she adds.

tangerine tornado

W hoever said orange “

was the new pink is seriously disturbed! ”

—Elle Woods, Legally Blonde

By Nina Kieffer

Tangerine Tango stormed into our lives as Pantone ’s 2012 Color of the Year, and ®

things haven’t been the same since. Brash, punchy, confident, spirited. This intense reddish-orange and its kissin’ cousins have been showing up in all kinds of home products and we love the vitality they add. The Pantone® folks were definitely not considering the Legally Blonde beauty’s opinion when they followed the vibrant pink Honeysuckle (2011 Color of the Year) with Tangerine Tango. Make sure you get some tangy tangerine accents to liven up your space this year!

The Cincinnati Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Custom Residential Architects Network (CRAN) announce the recipients of our fourth annual Residential Design Awards.

All of these award-winning homes have one thing in common—an architect who used creativity, problem solving skills and expertise in building systems to create a remarkable place to live.

“Find an architect that is right for you.”

Six homes showcased at Homearama® 2012 encourage us to rethink our home’s look Every now and again you’ll hear of people who attend home shows and end up purchasing one of the homes.

While that’s music to the builders’ ears, most of us go to these shows to be inspired. Maybe we are thinking about building a new home ourselves, are ready to update our landscaping, or perhaps we simply want to select a paint color for a particular room we have in mind. Regardless of your motivation, this summer’s Homearama® offered show goers plenty of ideas to build on. Take a look at a few of our favorites and see if you agree. continued >

Staying Neutral

The blend of neutral tones in this great room keeps the space calm and serene. Designers say texture, which causes light to reflect differently off of each surface, is the key to achieving a beautiful, muted interior.

Layers of Light

Both this dining room and master bedroom are great examples of what designers term â&#x20AC;&#x153;layers of light.â&#x20AC;? By combining multiple sources of lighting in a room, you can add sophistication, ambiance, and the ever-important functionality. continued >

Breathing Room

You’ve heard the term “editing” being bantered about recently. Check out how big pieces—the cabinetry in the kitchen and the chest of drawers in the entry—are seen in their full glory when small things calling out for attention are used minimally.

Conversation Clusters

Even large scale entertaining becomes more intimate when you create clusters of spaces for more close up and comfy conversations. Follow the lead of this outdoor terrace and carve out a separate niche for dining, drinks and lounging in your own open-air space.

Refreshing Reuse

Take a look around this wine cellar and you’ll see a repurposed industrial cart, wine bottles as candleholders, and pallets used to create a wine rack. What a great example of turning trash into treasure.

Fifth Wall

Some designers say that ceilings are the forgotten fifth wall in a room. Try branching out from “ceiling white” to a paint with a bit more color.

Or take things to a stunning extreme shown in this kitchen with its dramatic trayed ceiling with a faux finish.

Color Blocking

Bring more energy inside your home with color blocking. Use a color wheel to select colors that contrast in a pleasing way.

Paint your walls in bright colors or combine them in accessories. You can always throw in neutrals for balance.

Artwork Du Jour

The mural on the wall in this playroom sets the tone for the space. From there the kids can express themselves to their hearts’ content on the chalkboard painted wall. It’s a great idea for a mudroom, kitchen or kid’s bedroom.

Texture, which adds dimension to this dining room and master bath, is a tool used by design professionals to create spaces that leave lasting impressions. Add texture, to visual elements such as line and color, and your space will feel tremendously richer. continued >

It’s All in the Details…

You can have it all.

Each and every issue of Housetrends® promises the latest trends and inspiration for home and garden with local and national articles and lavish photo galleries!

We’re bringing it all together here and keeping you up to date with the latest decorating trends, down to the smallest detail.

Make a big statement in your great room with color, fabric, lighting and artwork.

Keep fabrics simple on large upholstered pieces and repeat a bold color choice with a small piece of accent furniture, pillow or floral arrangement.

Introduce vintage finds among even your most contemporary accessories and give artwork you love a place of importance in the room. Also, lighting and ceiling fans don’t need to make a visual statement to be an important aspect of a room design. Don’t forget, a room painted white is breathtaking when played up by natural light and accented by coordinating window treatments.

It’s true that the smallest details can make your room larger than life.

Art of Grilling

It’s never too late to learn how to grill the perfect cut of meat. Jason Capps, chef and owner of Pittsburgh’s Bella Sera, offers these grilling tips.

• A steak should only be turned once.

When lines from the cooking grate appear on the meat and turn black it is time to turn the food. A thicker cut, if more than 1 ½ inches thick, may need to be turned three times to get it cooked through the center.

• Use oil or cooking spray on grates when grilling low fat meats and other foods.

Ancho Chili Pork Tenderloin

Pucker Up Raspberry Lemonade

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoons chili powder 4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground cumin 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 pork tenderloin

1 can raspberry lemonade concentrate 3 cups water Juice from ½ lime Juice from ½ lemon 1 can Sprite ½ cup fresh raspberries ¼ cup fresh blueberries Fresh mint

Mix first 8 ingredients in a bowl and coat pork tenderloin. Let pork sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Place tenderloin on grill, turning to sear all sides, grilling for approximately 15-18 minutes or until an internal temperature of 140 degrees has been reached. Let pork rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Serves 6.

Mix liquid ingredients in pitcher.

Add raspberries and blueberries.

Pour in glass, over ice. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.

Go to Housetrends.com to get the recipe for BBQ Bliss Potatoes.

• Add seasoning or marinade at least one hour before grilling to let the flavor sink in.

bathroom trends

By Karen Bradner It is thought that the first individual size bathtub— a 5-foot-long piece of pottery—was enjoyed on the Greek island of Crete somewhere around 3300 BC. It is said that a few thousand years later—in 500 BC—citizens of Rome were encouraged to bathe daily, but typically the cleansing occurred in a public bath. Those few who were wealthy enough to afford a private bath enjoyed bathing themselves in a sort of luxurious private pool. F Flash forward a few thousand years. Thankfully today, private bathing is commonplace, but the selection of vessels in which to bathe is anything but. Keep it simple and join the millions who purchase the most common style of tub sold today—a 5-foot wall-to-wall built-in model in white or biscuit. Or treat yourself like a Roman emperor and enjoy one of these lavish soaks. continued >

This is an incredible incentive that is not available in any other community throughout the tri-state. The savings can be significant.

Come and experience for yourself all that CiTiRAMA® has to offer. Discount show admission tickets (only $6) can be obtained at all area Kroger stores or by showing a valid AAA membership card at the gate. Admission at the gate is $8. Children under age 12, accompanied by an adult, are free. Onsite parking is also free. Be sure to visit the Five-Minute Café for food and beverages while at the show.

CiTiRAMA® brings the best of the old and new together to showcase the exciting possibilities for urban living in the City of Cincinnati. The 11th CiTiRAMA®, located at Virginia Place in historic Northside, promises to be one of Cincinnati’s top residential destinations.

Five fully decorated and landscaped homes, priced between $250,000 and $300,000, will be on display from September 8-16.

Four builders are participating: Brookstone (two homes), Drees, Maronda and Potterhill Homes. Cincinnati’s CiTiRAMA® is the nation’s longest standing housing partnership between a home builders association and a municipality.

Northside, with its mix of unique restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques as well as its close proximity to downtown, has emerged over the last several years as one of the city’s coolest neighborhoods.

Virginia Place in Northside (located at Chase and Virginia Aves.) is easily accessible from I-74 (Colerain Ave. exit). When complete, the site will include 35 single-family homes (including six neotraditional town homes), with an abundance of green space and mature trees.

The HBA will once again include students from the Blueprint for Success Program in various phases of construction of the show homes. Two students enrolled in this construction trades training program have been assigned to work alongside each of the show builders. The Hamilton Co.-Cincinnati Community Action Commission oversees the program. The HBA Charitable Foundation and the National Housing Endowment have both provided funding for costs associated with implementation of the partnership. The HBA will also be assisting in the Blueprint for Success Program curriculum development and student job placement.

Making the Urban Living Choice Can Save You Money

The City of Cincinnati Department of Community Development’s Community Reinvestment Area Residential Tax Abatement Program encourages rehabilitation and new construction of structures through property tax incentives. Property tax abatement is available for any increased valuation that results from the improvements to the property for both existing and new construction.

The new construction abatement term is 10 years, 100 percent abatement up to $300,500 market value. This amount increases 3 percent at the start of each year (January 1). Tax must be paid on land. For example, new construction of structures containing a condominium or a one, two, or three unit residential structure is eligible for a 10-year abatement up to a maximum $300,500 market value. Tax is paid only on the land and the value above $300,500. Real estate taxes are subject to an increase or decrease due to a reappraisal or triennial or changes in approved tax levies.

The following is an example of the estimated tax savings: Total Investment Eligible for Abatement (fair market value): $300,500.00 Assessed Value/Taxable Value is 35 percent of fair market value: $105,175.00 Assessed Value Multiplied by Tax Rate (.06667): $7,012.13 10 percent Rollback: $701.20

CiTiRAMA® Partners Again with Blueprint for Success

For the second year in a row, CiTiRAMA® 2012 is proud to be partnering with the Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency’s Blueprint For Success Program. Founded in 2005, the program aims to assist participants (ages 18 – 24) in obtaining a promising livelihood in the field of construction through intensive educational and vocational training based on state and industry standards.

The program consists of a nine-month pre-apprenticeship, during which students benefit from both classroom instruction and hands-on experience. Blueprint students finish the curriculum with a final project: working closely with local professionals to rehabilitate abandoned inner-city properties, assisting the elderly maintain satisfactory living conditions by helping bring their homes up to current building code standards, and helping to revitalize various designated Cincinnati neighborhoods. When needed, the program also offers intensive support service, including part-time employment and financial and housing assistance, to better help its participants achieve self-sufficiency.

After completing the program, students are given the tool belt and set of tools used during their training as a graduation gift, and those who are interested in pursuing a career in construction are guaranteed the opportunity to interview for a position in the field. Other participants are offered assistance in applying to higher education programs, or pursuing other careers. Students who have completed their training are appreciative of the valuable experience the Blueprint Program offers.

“It is exciting and refreshing to see the development and enthusiasm of the students involved in this program,” says CiTiRAMA® chairman and president of Maronda Homes, Mike Hoffmaster. “We will also provide each student an opportunity to be on hand during the show, to demonstrate the unique qualities of each home to CiTiRAMA® attendees.”

And the Winner is…

Each year, the Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati sponsors a contest to design the official poster for the CiTiRAMA® home showcase. This year’s winner is Jordan Umerley, a student at the Art Academy of Cincinnati; her winning artwork has been used to promote this year’s CiTiRAMA® event.

THE $2,500 DESIGNERS’ CHALLENGE CiTiRAMA® interior designers were asked to decorate one room in each home for under $2,500. Stop by the show and see how to design on a budget!

A two-story turret makes The Chase, presented by Brookstone Homes, hard to forget. Guests enter the home from a covered porch into a distinctive reception area placed inside the turret. The effect is made even more dramatic as the turret is open to second-story heights.

The spacious family room and kitchen both have doors which access another covered porch, perfect for morning meals and evening drinks.

Nearby, a dining area with plenty of elbow room works equally well for casual or formal occasions. On the second floor, a larger master suite features a tray ceiling and an office/sitting room area that opens to a private covered deck.

Built with a family atmosphere in mind, The Chase is specifically designed to create an inviting space that is also cost-effective and energy-efficient. With an owner, who is a fifth generation builder, Brookstone Homes believes that the customer knows best what is needed to make a house a home. They understand the emotion and motivation that goes into buying and building a new home. Genuine commitment to these home buying factors drive their passion to deliver the finest in new home buying opportunities today.
