Introduce color to your home through paint, pillows and more! By Annie Nye, Interior Designer, Selkirk Glass & Cabinets.

DO YOU FEAR COLOR? Are you too chicken to splash some paint on your wall because it may be too “bold” or “trendy”. The good news is that paint is one of the least expensive things to change AND it’s one of the easiest things to test out before you commit. Most paint stores will sell quart-size containers of any color you can paint on the wall so you are able to look at the color in different light throughout the day. That way, you can live with it before you commit (just don’t tell grandma).

FEAR COLOR?

$2899

Other ways to introduce color would be to use patterns and bold colors in accent pieces.

Often times, adding that splash of color or texture is all a room needs to really pull everything together. There are lots of ways to introduce that color accent. Throw pillows, furniture, backsplashes, tile accents, island cabinetry, glass, and more. Just remember, not everything has to match. In fact, when you match everything, it becomes too monochromatic and you lose a lot of the color simply because there’s no contrast. If you have dark cabinets, you should contrast that with lighter countertops. If you have dark flooring, you can contrast that with painted or a lighter stain color on the cabinets. Lots of folks are going with an island in their kitchen that is a painted cabinet whereas the perimeter cabinets are a stained wood.

Adding stain glass or a pattern glass in your entry door, cabinets, or table tops would be another way to introduce color and textures.

Besides paint and furniture, window coverings are another great way to add colors and textures. It’s amazing how much a pattern or color will pop with natural light illuminating it. Most have features that allow you to still see out and won’t encroach on your views.

There are just a few things to remember when it comes to adding color and increasing the “boldness factor” at your home because there are things you definitely want to avoid.

Counter Tops • Sinks • Faucets • Fireplaces •Granite Signs • Fountains Monuments • Interior & Exterior • Custom Designs

• Using too many accent pillows. I’m talking so many you can’t sit on the sofa or it takes you half an hour to unload your bed. It’s simple - select a few pillows of varying sizes, shapes and patterns and display them together.

• Too many trinkets. If you have to move things out of the way on a side table so you can set your drink down, you may have too much “display”. Select a few and store the rest. During seasonal changes, swap them out.

• Too many patterns and textures. You don’t wear stripes with plaid right? Same goes for your house, you shouldn’t have competing patterns or textures. If the sofa has a pattern, select solid color pillows. If the wall has patterned wallpaper, go with simple solid or complementary window covering.

In short, don’t be afraid to add color or textures, and if you question whether or not it’s a good choice, ask someone for our professional opinion. We do this every day and are full of suggestions.

Robert, an architect by degree, is the artistic designer and producer of Blue Plate. Robert worked for the Department of Defense and NASA for 15 years as a graphic designer with contractors, and as a 3-D modeler for airplanes. His design experience led to other graphic design jobs, which fell nicely into what Blue Plate Designs wanted to offer.

Tracy has a degree in finance, which allows her to maintain the office area of Blue Plate Designs.

Robert and Tracy are originally from Huntsville, Alabama.

Tracy’s husband passed away in 2010. She married Robert in late 2012. With the beginning of a new family, the couple felt they needed to begin a new life together. They both felt that “God has a plan for each of us, so we placed our faith in that understanding and sought a new place to live,” recalls Tracy. The Lutricks did a Google search that revealed Sandpoint, Idaho as the “Best Small Town in the United States,” so they began their journey to the Northwest.

Paint and Sundries Custom Framing The couple calls the move across the country, “a leap of faith.” Their new company, Blue Plate Designs, was born out of a desire to serve customers in an old-fashioned “blue plate lunch counter” kind of way – also known in their (former) neck of the woods as “Southern Hospitality.”

“We believe that God is the one who has brought success to our business. We dedicated our business to Him when we opened our doors. Our literature states ‘Family Owned and God Operated’ and that is exactly how we try to run our business,” says Tracy.

The Lutrick family includes 10, six of whom made the move to Sandpoint: Robert, Tracy and Tracy’s children (and three dogs). Sam is 20 and will be returning to Alabama to begin his second year at Auburn University. Max, 16; Spencer, 14 and Molly, 12 are homeschooled.

The Lutricks stay involved in the community through their Chamber of Commerce and First Baptist Church memberships.

The Lutricks say Sandpoint’s small town charm is something they are thankful for and know that commitment to satisfied customers is important to their success. “Almost 100% of what we do is custom work. Every single day, when we close the doors and walk out, we look around and speak out loud how thankful we are to be in Sandpoint.”

The Selkirk Loop Weekend getaway road trip!

By Colin Anderson.

SUMMER IS WINDING down, kids are back in school, and if you’re lucky you used up most of your vacation time on another beautiful, albeit hot, north Idaho summer.

A weeklong vacation probably won’t come around again until the holidays, but that doesn’t mean your travel time should come to an end. There is so much to explore in this area, and if you’ve got an extra day off in the coming weeks, why not hop in the car for a good old fashioned road trip and let the Selkirk Loop be your guide.

Rated as one of the best scenic drives in the west by a myriad of publications and online reviews, the Selkirk Loop takes you across North Idaho, Southern British Columbia, and Northeastern Washington.

If you complete the full 280 mile loop, you’ll travel through 75 unique communities none of which have a population of more than 10,000. In between the small town charm, you’ll see some of the most dynamic forests, mountain ranges and bodies of water in the northwest. As Sandpoint is at the southern most portion of the loop, it’s a logical place to start your journey.

From Sandpoint head west to Priest River and then cross into Washington. The route takes you along the scenic Pend Oreille River and into the communities of Usk and Cusick. Both lie along the Kalispel Indian reservation, which operates a buffalo ranch and fish hatchery. This is also a great start for bird watchers as osprey and eagles are spotted here along the river.

As you continue heading north through Washington, you pass through Ione, Tiger, and Metaline Falls. These communities showcase the rich logging history of the area which has slowly diminished over the decades. Still there are plenty of stops for history junkies to learn about old mills and logging outfits. While hotels and bed and breakfasts are few and far between, there are plenty of areas to camp, or you can head north towards the Canadian border.

Once you’ve crossed the border, you’re heading toward Nelson, BC, a favorite of many weekend travelers in the area. Nestled

$ along Kootenay Lake and surrounded by mountains, this is a place people keep coming back to again and again. The historic downtown features structures still standing from the early 1900’s, and self guided walking tours provide you with all kinds of fun history. Recreation abounds here with golf courses, nearby ski hills, hiking and biking and plenty of water sports as well. There is great theatre, many wonderful restaurants, and a festival just about every weekend.

Back on the road you head east with the town of Balfour as your next destination. If you’d like to tack on a few more miles to the trip, a drive into Ainsworth hot springs for a relaxing soak or a tour of Kokanee Glacier Provincial Park are great side trips. Once you hit Balfour, and in order to complete the loop, you’ll have to travel by boat. Ferries depart for Kootenai 15 times per day, but on busy travel weekends you might have to wait for the next one. Once across, you’ll continue your drive along beautiful Kootenay Lake. If you are not interested in camping, you will most likely stop in Creston, BC for another night on the town. Creston is lined with fruit trees, and the agricultural celebrations go on throughout the year. You’ll find all sorts of delicious food and wines here, or if beer is more your thing, you can tour the Kokanee Brewery located just outside town.

As you cross back into Idaho and familiar territory, you’re probably already planning your next trip. With so many opportunities for entertainment, adventure, culture, and dozens of side excursions, your first trip on the loop likely won’t be your last. Probably the best part of this trip is that it’s on your pace and your budget, with only a single tank of gas as your primary expense. You can camp, hike, picnic, and enjoy nature, or find a beautiful lodge and play championship golf or go heli-skiing. The Selkirk Loop is another great example of the reason we choose to call this part of the country home, so go and be reminded why you live here.
