Being a REALTOR for 19 years has been one of the most rewarding things in my life. The people I’ve met, the things I’ve learned, have made me a better person and I hope a better REALTOR. Buying a home is a huge investment in your life. When things change and you have to sell, that is another important change. I enjoy helping with either process. When making your next move, I hope you will consider a long time REALTOR with lots of experience. I can be reached by calling 701 721-3837 or by email judyh@minothomes.com.

BIG, BOLD

Home decorators embrace

By KIM COOK Associated Press

Not long ago, the only homes in which you'd see big, bold art hanging on the walls tended to be those of serious collectors. For everyone else, filling up a blank space meant going with something attractively innocuous that didn't jangle with the sofa color.

But something exciting is happening; we're losing our

trepidation over hanging larger wall art with more impact.

"Personal platforms like Instagram and Pinterest, and online forums like Core77 and Dezeen have made it really easy for people to find and share pictures of things they love," says Alyson LissPobiner of the New York firm Dineen Architecture + Design.

"I really love using Instagram to share our own work, and images that we find beautiful, interesting and inspiring," she says. "As a result, images of designer projects have become much more accessible and reach much larger audiences."

Caleb Anderson, principal at Drake Anderson Interiors in New York, says a room doesn't look finished without art.

"Artwork establishes mood, defines personality and impacts emotion," he says. It can connect furnishings and architecture, and draw people into a space.

"Oversize pieces work particularly well above a sofa or bed," he says.

"Large art makes an impactful statement in an entry or at the end of a long corridor, making the otherwise void hall an interesting destination of its own." (www.drakeanderson.com ) Large-format work can create focus points throughout a home, making an impression "without creating a lot of visual noise," Liss-Pobiner says.

When you're positioning large art, she says, don't be afraid to try something different.

"In our room at Kips Bay Decorator's Showhouse this year, we centered the bed on one wall with a large sofa on the opposite wall," she says. They then placed a large blue concave mirror from Bernd Goeckler Antiques above the sofa, but slightly to one side.

"The convention is to center the wall art above the furniture, but by 'freeing up' that wall with an asymmetrical composition, we were able to keep the eye moving around the room," she says.

Large-scale art with typography can be affordable and add a dose of humor, say Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone of Consort Design, a bicoastal design firm.

"If you're looking to take the room in a more sophisticated direction, we also love large, painterly abstract pieces," the duo said in an email.

Their online shop includes the figurative expressionist work of Kristen Giorgi of Atlanta's NG Collective Studio, and Los Angeles artist Matt Maust's kinetic mixed-media work. (www.consort-design.com ) Anderson has some source suggestions, too, including the Loretta Howard Gallery in Manhattan. (www.lorettahoward.com )

Kids' bedroom oases

should reflect their personalities

By MELISSA KOSSLER DUTTON Associated Press

Parents, do you want your kids' bedrooms to be relaxing oases where they can decompress and escape the academic and social pressures of school? Don't assume that means muted colors and quiet sanctuary.

Instead, designers say, let the room reflect your child's personality, even if that involves some more vibrant colors and patterns.

"Many parents find that hot pink walls are better than hot pink hair, right? And it's only a bucket of paint.

Such a space allows kids to be themselves, and that is a calming thing in today's world," said interior designer Kelee Katillac, who enjoys designing children's rooms and runs a studio in Kansas City, Missouri.

She and other designers recommend working with kids to create an organized, multi-functional and comfortable bedroom with an interesting color palette.

WHAT'S THE ROOM FOR?

Let us put your home in Mindt condition!

A first step to creating a great space for kids is defining what purposes the room must serve, Katillac said. Most kids do more than sleep in their rooms. They play, do homework and entertain friends there.

Delineate a place for each of the room's main functions, she said.

If a child intends to study in the room, supply a desk, chair and good lighting. Create a reading nook for the bookworm. For the kid who likes to have friends over, provide a seating area — even if it's just cushions and a rug — and have mood lighting or even decorative string lighting.

Defining separate areas helps kids relax because it creates a sense of structure, Katillac said.

FINDING THE RIGHT COLORS Wall color can impact your mood, said Sue Wadden of SherwinWilliams in Cleveland. She recom-

mends avoiding primary colors in favor of more natural or neutral tones like greens, browns, light grays or soft blues.

"It's easier on the eye," she said. "It's easier on the brain."

To promote relaxation, consider using softer or less saturated versions of the bright colors typically used in kids' rooms, she added. If you're concerned that your child's color choices could get too bold, pick several colors you could live with and let them select from those, Wadden suggested.

You can also use other elements to add the pops of color that kids crave.

Consider painting a colorful accent wall, or adding a vibrant rug or patterned comforter.

"Bring in brighter tones with secondary pieces," Wadden said.

BRING IN THEIR INTERESTS

Let your child help choose the room's theme, said Janet Paik, an editor with the online interior decorating website Houzz.com. "If you want it to feel like their personal sanctuary, it needs to be their own space," she said.

It can be easy and inexpensive to incorporate a favorite hobby, sports team or activity into the room. Decals, bedding, artwork and accessories can highlight a child's interests, and are easy to change out as they get older.

This fall, decor's deep, rich hues are bolder

By KIM COOK Associated Press

Deeper, richer hues are often part of decor's autumnal palette, but this year they're bigger and bolder than usual.

"Color is a powerful communicator," says Pottery Barn spokeswoman Monica Bhargava. "It can be a key point of inspiration that defines the mood and feel of a home."

PPG's color marketing manager Dee Schlotter sees a trend toward interiors "that embrace nocturnal shades" in homes, hotels and stores.

Deep hues are often incorporated through matte yet soft materials, she says.

IN THE MOOD

"I love dusky blues, plums, gray of all types, and surfaces that have a mysterious effect," says Jamie Drake of New York-based Drake Anderson Interiors.

For the guest bedroom of one project, Drake/Anderson had Jonathan Kutzin of America Painting in Cresskill, New Jersey, create a strie effect with an iridescent blue top coat, evoking a moody retreat.

In another apartment, in Midtown Manhattan, Drake says his company used deep plum tones to anchor the high-altitude rooms, while another project employed dark navy walls in a cozy library. "Using a color this dark in a small space is a favorite tool to make the edges of a room 'disappear' and create a mysterious illusion of more space," he says. (www.drakeanderson.com ) Some deep, dark colors evoke privacy, quietude and a feeling of being wrapped in warmth, designers say.

But brighter, saturated hues can be uplifting and electric; Sherwin-Williams' two new collections are Affinity, inspired by craft and tribalism, and Connectivity, inspired by technology. (www.sherwin-williams.com )

EMERALD CITY Of the trending deepened hues, emerald green is especially dominant, Schlotter says. To her, "It represents luxury and emulates lush foliage."

"Color palettes that range from darker shades like black and navy, to gold and coral, complement the depth of emerald green," she continues, "while pale neutrals like white and light gray give it a crisp and trendy edge. A courageous color, emerald green also works well with a number of materials and textures."

Emerald is showing up in upholstery.

Furniture company Sauder has a little tub chair in the hue. CB2's 50s-inspired Avec sofa comes in plush emerald velvet. (www.sauder.com; www.cb2.com )

COLOR IN THE KITCHEN

Italian company Bertazzoni, known for its high-end ranges in rich shades like burgundy, orange, yellow and red, just introduced a new hue called Azzurro. Blending cerulean, turquoise, sapphire and cyan, it's a positive, energetic color. (www.us.bertazzoni.com ) Both Frigidaire and Kitchenaid have suites of appliances in black stainless steel.

And look for countertops and cabinetry in deeper tones, too. Cambria Quartz's Bala Blue stone is the color of deep See FALL â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Page 14

water. In a contemporary kitchen with sleek white cabinetry, Cardigan Red's vibrant warmth would be a terrific foil. (www.cambriausa.com )

WALLS AND FLOORS

Intrepid decorators will love another aspect of this trend: dark walls.

At Kip's Bay Show House a couple of months ago in Manhattan, Susan Ferrier dressed a bedroom in deep forest green. Organic objets d'art accents made it feel like a luxe nature retreat. (www.mcalpinehouse.com ) Kevin Lichten and Joan Craig cloaked a downstairs bar in charcoal silk, trimmed with bronze, creating an intimate, sexy space.

If you're interested in dabbling in any of these colors, don't worry about the trend being short-lived. PPG, Olympic Paints and Glidden announced their 2018 Color of the Year choices: Black Flame, Black Magic and Deep Onyx.

And Schlotter reports that PPG's color story for 2018 will be replete with deep, rich colors like smoky greens, luxurious purples, and charred grayblacks.

They've given the palette an intriguing name: "Brave".

"These colors," says Schlotter, "reflect consumers' growing yearning for protection, strength and stability; to feel safe during uncertain times."

On-Trend Home Design Make sensational style the focus of your home makeover

FAMILY FEATURES

f a home makeover is on your horizon, it’s the perfect time to take note of design trends that may help shape your project. Today’s hottest looks leave plenty of room for personal interpretation, so it’s easier than ever to incorporate the latest looks for a home that seamlessly blends your personality with on-trend decor and design elements.

Eye-catching detail

Understated elegance, a look that many designers have favored in the past, is losing ground to more prominent design features that make no bones about attracting attention.

Colorful woodwork in the kitchen, vibrant patterns such as marble countertops, jewel-toned textiles and bold details like nail-head patterns on furnishings are all evidence of a bolder style. The trick is to blend elements carefully and avoid competing pieces that create more of a mish-mash than a stylish statement.

Bright colors once reserved for subtle accessorizing are now fair game for larger palettes – even walls. Many experts agree: among this season’s top picks are shades of green, ranging from soft, subtle tones to vibrant, luxurious hues. Similarly, much as the clothing fashion world has embraced the idea of combining patterns for a cohesive look, the same applies to home decor. Far from looking disjointed, this approach can actually make for an on-point style statement.
