Tread lightly on fine art Seize every inch of space with carpets Signe Langford Postmedia News A spectacular, handwoven rug is one of our greatest luxuries. A big, faded, antique Persian or oriental rug was — well, still is in some circles — considered the height of old money-class and luxury. And though they’re very practical, durable and made to be walked all over, calling them art isn’t putting too fine a point on it. Just like master artworks, the finest rugs are equally at home in museums, on the pages of art history books or gracing a floor of a sleek condo at Bay and Yorkville. The best contemporary rugs command attention and almost dare you to step on them. Not a single doormat among them, these bold works of floor art spark conversation and indeed, may even ignite

Whether one-of-a-kind or handmade-to-order in an Afghani village or at the foot of the Himalayas in Nepal, each piece expresses the vision of a cutting edge designer and the weaver who crafted it. Their wool and silken threads can span oceans and time, linking disparate cultures in an appreciation for the art of the carpet. Here are some striking designs.

SAY A LITTLE PRAYER — THE PRAYER RUG Ar tist and illustrator Robyn Waffle is new to rug design. Her Across the Line series from earlier this year, is her first foray into the medium, and for her first pieces, she chose the theme of spirituality and prayer. “I pray all the time to my own higher power; it’s very im-

portant to me.” Inspired by traditional Iranian prayer mats and tribal rugs, Waffle teamed up with Jordan Reznick to create the Modallion rug studio inside Reznick Carpets. Each rug is hand-knotted and carved in Nepal, using hand-dyed wool. Custom colours and sizes are available, but in stock is the 4 x 6, $2,500 from reznickcarpets. com.

BIRD WATCHING — HUMMINGBIRD The Hummingbird rug is one of the last projects from British designer Alexander McQueen.

Before he took his own life in 2010, he created the Hummingbird rug as part of a series of pieces.

c o m m e n ta r y

New homes benefit more than buyers, builders Stu Niebergall The only people who benefit when a house is built are the family members who get to live there, and the builder who constructed and sold the home, right? Wrong. The positive impact of new residential construction is far-reaching, bringing benefits to families, businesses and services throughout Regina, immediately, as well as for years to come. Indeed, the residential construction industry is a primary contributor to our local prosperity. One year of building 100 singlefamily homes in Regina creates approximately $42 million in investment, creating 300 jobs and approximately $15 million in wages — wages that show up as purchases

right across the whole regional economy — not to mention the millions of dollars contributed in taxes as local, provincial and federal government revenues by those employed in the industry. This in itself is far-reaching. However, what does the economic impact mean from the perspective of the contribution made by those who actually purchase and move into a newly built home? What does it mean in the real day-to-day lives of community residents? Just think about it. When a family moves to a community and buys a newly built house, they will likely shop at local stores to buy furniture and accessories to decorate the home. They will shop at local stores for their daily groceries, supplies, and other consumer items. They will gas up their vehicles at local gas stations so they can get to the stores and elsewhere, have local mechanics work on their vehicles when the break down or need the oil changed, or buy a new vehicle at a local dealer when it’s time to re-

place the old one. The family may need to hire local companies for regular services to maintain their home, such as landscaping, yard care, house cleaning, pet sitters or pool upkeep. Their children will enrol in schools or day care. This increases enrolment meaning more teachers, day-care workers, janitors, cafeteria workers and other support staff will need to be hired. Those children may also join sports leagues or other activities, and families will need to buy equipment and pay registration fees that provide stipends for referees, coaches, and instructors. All of this economic activity puts income into the pockets of local business owners and other professionals, and their families, who then, in turn, go out and spend money themselves which infuses even more money into the community’s local economy. The new family also pays property tax and fees to the City of Regina, as well as a host of provincial

taxes. These tax revenues help pay for a wide range of government services, including school teachers, police departments, garbage collection, parks maintenance and road repairs. Over the long term, as the families who move into new homes become part of the community, their positive impact continues. We roughly estimate that those 100 new homes provide the community with additional, annually-recurring impacts of $3.1 million in local income, $743,000 in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and 53 local jobs. Therefore, not only does home building itself generate huge economic impact on the local economy, but the benefits are even more farreaching because those who purchase newly built homes also infuse money into the local economy. As such, the entire community benefits from the prosperity generated through new home building and development. Regina has been experiencing a boom and as Regina grows, the resi-

dential construction industry has been developing the new neighbourhoods and building the new homes that have defined our city’s growth. This growth has led to prosperity for all of Regina citizens, and we want this prosperity to continue. The residential construction industry is positioned to work closely with City of Regina policy and decision makers to ensure that continued growth is an underlying consideration in all decisions related to housing and development in Regina. City of Regina citizens can support the continued growth and prosperity of our city as well. As we approach the Oct. 24 civic election, it is vital to support the candidates who advocate for the continued growth and prosperity of our city. By voting for those candidates who support a growth agenda, we all will benefit. Get out and vote. Niebergall is executive director of the Regina & Region Home Builders’ Association.

Carpet Made for the floor, belongs on the wall into science, so it just came to me.” The collection of nine, hand-tufted, New Zealand wool rugs depict the terrible beauty of viruses and bacteria cultured in petri dishes.

IT’S BEAUTIFUL BEING GREEN — PERSIA NO. 1 Some of what gets thrown away is perfectly usable. Award-winning rug designer and architect Jurgen Dahlmanns, of Berlin-based Rug Star, makes sure that doesn’t happen with the lovely leftovers of other carpet makers. His Eco series is hand-knotted in Nepal from discarded silk and Tibetan wool yarns. This piece offers an entirely new and vibrant expression of the traditional Persian; 8 x 10 is $14,950 from modernweave.com.

Businesswoman-cum-designer, Katherine Yaphe has made the transition from boardroom to broadloom, though she’s no stranger to the carpet business: Her family has been in the textile trade for three generations. Her simple, clean, minimalist rugs are hand-knotted in Nepal from hand-dyed Tibetan wool. Yaphe is inspired by Scandinavian design sensibilities; a clean, neutral room where the colour comes from rugs and other textiles. Three sizes on display: 3 x 10, $2,100; 5 x 7, $2,450; 6 x 9, $3,780. Custom sizes made to order from oliveryaphe.com.

When asked to consider the concept of elegance for an upcoming design show, textile artist Bev Hisey began to ponder the exquisiteness of disease. “Diseases are perfectly designed, there’s an elegance to them and I’m

We’re not sure whether to be horrified or to fall madly in love. From the imagination of German artist Jan Kath, it’s made in Turkey from hand-spun, hand-knotted, naturally dyed wool and Chinese silk. Alan Pour-vakil of W Studio explains the squiggles are the copied paths travelled by a soccer ball during a 90-minute match. This 8 x 10 rug takes three weavers, about a year to make and costs $18,000. Custom sizes are also available from wstudio.ca.

It features perhaps the most beguiling and beautiful of our feathered friends, and one that embodies two themes that run throughout his work: strength and fragility. This strikingly beautiful “tapestry” rug is the result of a three-year collaboration between the late fashion icon and the Rug Company and combines cashmere, pashmina and Aubusson silk. The birds — handwoven in 300-knot silk and metallic thread — sparkle against a backdrop of either black or ivory pashmina wool, hand-woven in Nepal. Is it a rug? Sure. But it’s perhaps better suited to the wall, where those birds can really fly. Available exclusively from the Rug Company in all standard sizes from 5 x 3 to 18 x 12 as well as custom sizes. The 6 x 4 is $9,312 from therugcompany.com.

make it right

C o m m e n ta r y

Voters need to identify the real issues Alan thomarat

CEO and President Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan Call candidates when you see their signs, ask them to explain their platform and whether they understand the potential impacts and unintended consequences of poorly considered public policy. As I look at all the candidates around the province and the many promises they are making, I become concerned as to whether they’ve spent any time understanding municipal finances, budgeting or the principles of tax competitiveness. It’s easy to make statements and promises you won’t have to keep, but we as voters need to be smarter as we enter the ballot box and cast our vote. Remember some of these questions: • Do their positions advocate for policies that foster growth, create jobs and attract investment? • Are they aware that many aspects of municipal services are actually functions that are legislated within the Ministry of Government Relations, and other ministries and municipal councils have limited or no discretion in changing or adopting policies that would contravene provincially or federally regulated matters? • Why are some candidates talking about assuming responsibilities for matters with which the province is charged?

• Do they also know contractors are bound by limits within the Occupational Health and Safety Act regarding hours of work among many other concerns that are matters of provincial interest? Municipalities across Saskatchewan are faced with the challenges of planning for residential development, infrastructure maintenance, infill revitalization and the costs of growing communities as a result of a growing population that we clearly need to encourage. Regional collaboration would allow many urban and rural municipalities to combine resources to make planning and development more efficient and economically viable. Currently, Saskatchewan has 786 municipalities, both urban and rural, as compared to 347 municipalities in Alberta and 198 in Manitoba. Since 1996, Ontario has reduced the number of municipalities from 815 to 444 through a series of amalgamations. Most communities in Saskatchewan are facing similar issues and could easily find efficiencies and economies of scale if regions were to share resources, and form enduring and mutually beneficial partnerships that are better positioned to find practical solutions to the challenges that growth brings. The provincial government must retain control of issues regarding provincial interest. Municipalities are continually seeking new mechanisms for funding municipal services and often this funding comes in the form of service agreement fees paid by builders and developers that provide new homes in the marketplace.

• Some municipalities are already taking advantage of the assessment system to raise revenue by over-valuation of undeveloped land. • Builders and developers, both commercial, face unreasonable delays acquiring permits and inspection services even though they pay fees for timely service. • Municipalities, through issuing offices and inspectors, create uncertainty in the interpretation of building codes and are persistent in usurping authority for setting and enforcing the building code standards. • This province needs to adopt the 2010 National Building Code without delay and the province must apply the principle of One Saskatchewan One Code across all municipalities in the province. We as an industry are still applying the 2005 code in Saskatchewan and this will have consequences for the industry if we fail to keep pace with changing trends and innovation. Matters of health and public safety are matters of provincial interest and responsibility for these issues must remain in the provincial domain. We can’t move forward and maintain momentum if we allow 786 interpretations of provincial or national codes or laws. Every vote counts and your vote matters. Get informed about all the candidates, get answers and, most important, get out to vote on Oct. 24. Alan Thomarat is the president and CEO of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association — Saskatchewan and the Saskatoon and Region Home Builders Association. He also serves as a director on the national board of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association in Ottawa.

The Holmes Group

Renovating in a rush leads to costly mistakes and long-lasting regrets.

Obstacles imminent in renos MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

Every year around this time I start hearing people say things like, “Let’s renovate the kitchen for the holidays.” They imagine cooking a big holiday feast in a beautiful, newly renovated kitchen with all the fancy finishes and appliances. And they’ll talk about all the parties they’ll have. These discussions are great to get you motivated or narrow down what you want. But this is just the “dreaming” phase. Reality is a whole other ball game. I never recommend anyone set a hard deadline for a renovation to be done. It’s too stressful. Most people think everything will go smoothly. Usually they’re people who have never gone through a renovation. The reality is that things don’t always go according to plan. Believe me — I know. Over the last few months we’ve been filming the new

series, Holmes Makes It Right. And I’ll tell you, construction and television don’t mix. I guess that’s part of the reason why it’s exciting to watch. But it really isn’t an ideal situation. Construction and reno schedules are crazy: you have to co-ordinate different trades, sometimes mould or asbestos abatement, concrete pours, inspections. You’re working with different professionals with different schedules, and different products. One job can’t start until another is finished. For instance, you can’t start framing until you’ve secured the structure. Or you can’t put up drywall until your HVAC, plumbing and electrical are done, inspected and passed — or you’ll be punching holes and doubling your work. A short hard deadline, such as by Christmas, sets you up to fail. In a rush to get the job going, you’re going to scramble to find a contractor. You probably won’t have time to check references, review past projects or talk to previous clients. Yes, you can find a contractor in a couple of days; but not the right contractor. This takes

just as long, or longer, than doing the job itself. I’ve said it a million times: Good contractors are busy, and most likely, the right one won’t be able to start your project right away. But if you’re set on getting it done by a certain date you’ll settle for whoever is available. And who do you think is going to be available on short notice? Not the pros. Also, if your deadline leaves no room for any necessary repairs, you’re wasting your money. Because if you don’t do it right I guarantee you’ll need to do it again. You don’t want to spend $12,000 on a renovation that will have to be ripped out because what’s underneath wasn’t repaired. Save yourself the stress. What’s the rush anyway? The only thing you’ll be rushing into is problems. Like the song goes, only fools rush in. Catch Mike Holmes in his new series, Holmes Makes It Right, premiering Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 9 p.m. on HGTV.

Haunt your house makes it more enticing,” says Sheila Davies, set designer of the kiddie haunted house that raises funds for the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. If you have some extra cash, Davies recommends investing in a fog machine. “It really adds some spookiness to the front of your house,” she says. Creepy cemetery: Transform your lawn into a haunted graveyard. Cover a tarp with soil and surround it with leaves, creating the effect that the ground is coming up. Buy some skeleton parts and pose a head popping up in the middle of the pile and an arm or leg coming out of the side. “You can make gravestones out of Styrofoam or buy them in a discount store,” Davies

says. Add some ripped or bloody clothing around the edges of the gravesite for an extra scary effect. Make your own gravekeepers using old clothing stuffed with leaves or newspapers and place them on your porch chair. Davies has recycled bridesmaid dresses to entice some laughs. “I added a mask of a painted-up lady with big blond hair, gave her some pink shoes and a snake around her neck to make her look scary,” she says. Use nature: You don’t have to spend a lot of money to decorate your home. Nature has provided us with its own spooky elements. “Anytime there are piles of leaves, it adds to the scariness because it can look like a covered grave,” Davies says.

A True City Within a City Live, Play, Dine, Shop, Relax

The Associated Press

This Wrap Around Me reversible throw, with a graphic repeat, is a great option for a contemporary room.

Throw in a touch of colour with comfort Kim Cook THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Sweater-y cable knits, textural weaves, rich faux furs … this fall, throws are showing up in all the retailers’ collections. Basically small couch blankets, throws set the stage for comfy days spent on a comfy chair cocooned in a comfy — well, you get the idea. What makes a throw a must-have is its wrapability. It shouldn’t be too weighty, and should have a soft, pliant feel. Today’s woollens and blends are very different from the scratchy, itchy, heavier versions of the past. And the new synthetics are a tactile wonderland of supple, velvety plushness. In a great colour that co-ordinates with your furniture, a snuggly throw is a functional, stylish accessory. Elaine Griffin, a contributing design editor to Better Homes & Gardens, recommends restraint when using this decorative element. “Solid colours and discreet patterns add style to living rooms and dens. Leave the boldly striped and patterned throws for across the foot of your bed or in children’s spaces,” she advises. But she also encourages a little colour play. “Throws are guilt-free occasions to indulge in the season’s trendiest colours,” she says. If you can’t commit to a burgundy or citron wall, consider a throw in those hues.

Modern design doesn’t have to be cold, expensive Always start with the big pieces Leanne Brownoff Postmedia News Fur nishing a new home can be exhilarating and daunting all at the same time. Where do you begin? And how much will it cost? These are questions that all new homeowners face. Tony Trew, marketing director for Structube, a contemporary furnishing store, advises new homeowners to consider four aspects when deciding on furnishings. “Comfort, design, durability and affordability,” are the four pillars, he says, “re g ardless of whether someone is just starting to purchase furniture for an entire home or refreshing items in an existing space.” First-time homebuyers are faced with many exciting decisions, and most of them come with a price tag. “Many new home designs are open concept, and you need to consider how the rooms interact with each other,” Trew says. “When you can see one room from another, you should select furnishings that complement each other.” Design flow is an easy concept for Structube. The Montreal-based furniture company brims with stylish and affordable items for any home. Stepping into one of their showrooms is similar to thumbing through the pages of a European design magazine. “We offer something for every room that is lived in,” Trew says. “Living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms and home offices are all designed with function, design and affordability in mind.” The modern furnishings reflect a European flair. Any idea that contemporary or modern design is always cold or austere will quickly dissipate once you view the showroom. So where to start? “Start with the big items that will give you staying power,” T rew sug g ests.

The Ankara bed by Structube is a modern piece at a reasonable price. Today’s open-concept homes mean the bed may be visible from other parts of the home. “Introducing a statement piece like a sofa or sectional allows the room to be anchored while offering comfortable seating.” New homeowners are often busy and social, so selecting seating to handle frequent entertaining is key. Structube’s Kennedy sectional is a good example of a comfortable piece that exudes warmth. The Soho cof fee table adds practical sophistication as a two-tiered, glassand-wood table. The pairing would be a welcoming setting for a family room, and with a price under $2,000 for both items, the Structube philosophy of quality design at affordable pricing rings true. In the kitchen, function is also key. “The kitchen is always a busy place in any home,” Trew says, “so you have to pay attention to its function while recognizing its visibility from other rooms.” The Hamburg table makes a statement with its heavy, rustic design, while the Delgada extension table is lighter and more moder n. The centre-pedestal design comes in high-gloss lacquered white, dark oak and walnut finish with a

A unique feature is the hidden leaf that appears when the two sides pull apart. This versatile design seats six comfortably when closed and eight when fully opened. “With storage being a major consideration, efficient designs are essential,” Trew says. One of the most important purchases is the bed. “The bedroom is the most personal space in the house, and a great place for homeowners to be creative with developing their own style.”
