Dish out the best for your tablescape Mix and match to suit any meal occasion ALYKHAN VE LJI AL FOR THE CALGARY HERALD I love dishes and you could even say that I have an obsession with them. Bowls, plates and cups, I love them all. The more out-there the pattern, the more I love it. I find you can never have too many. One for more formal occasions and ones for more causal get-togethers. I have always been a fan of the all-white dish, too, but I love to add a little colour and pattern with the salad plate, bowl or charger. It’s fun to mix and match and create different combos to keep your table setting looking chic and different every time you have a gettogether. Nothing says I love to entertain more than having a dish for any occasion. This month, I have rounded up my favourite dishes that will have your guests salivating even before they find out what’s on the menu.

Leif Collection Dinnerware features the stylized, graphic look of hand-drawn and scattered leaves.

Jonathan Adler’s Greek Key Collection dinnerware is known for its whimsical nods to design. tif for the fall season and these would make the perfect dishes to serve at a fall gettogether. The colours are just right and the motif has a great organic feel. Used as a set or with other

dishes that inject more pattern. Would be just right at any fall table.

Crate and Barrel: Leif Collection I love this stylized, graphic look of hand-drawn leaves

that are scattered and overlapping at times throughout this collection. The simple black-andwhite palette makes these perfect to use every day.

MAKE IT RIGHT

Back to school means back to home basics MIKE HOLMES Make it Right

It’s Labour Day weekend, that means back to school. Now that the kids are out of the house, and you don’t have to worry about planning family vacations and summer fun to keep them busy, it’s a good time to start focusing on your house again, and taking a look at what needs to get done before winter starts to close in. During the summer months, most people tend to focus on outdoor projects, like decks, pools and landscaping. But as summer draws to an end, not only do we have to take care of the obvious, like closing the pool, we also have to start thinking about moving the home projects inside. And at the top of the list is your building envelope. Make sure it can stand up to another Canadian winter. Landscaping projects should now focus more on maintaining the proper grading around the house. (Water management around the home is key to protecting it over winter. You want water to be draining or flowing away from the home and foundation, not toward it.) You should also take a look at your roof. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Your roof is your home’s first line of defence. Does it need to be repaired? Does it need reshingling? This is the time you want to start scheduling any work your building envelope might need. That includes your roof, adding more insulation in the attic, exterior repairs, like tuck-pointing and/ or brick repairs, including any work on your chimney. In fact, now is a great time to book a chimney inspection

ALEX SCHULDTZ/The Holmes Group As summer draws to an end, start scheduling work your building envelope may require, including leaky basements, roof repairs and window replacement. and cleaning. Every working chimney’s flue must be inspected and cleaned every year, no exception. Creosote (or soot for short) is extremely combustible, and it can build up on the inside of your chimney flue. If it isn’t properly cleaned all that is needed is a single spark and you can have total ignition. What about your eavestroughs and downspouts? Are they in good working condition? Are they draining water coming off the roof away from the foundation? This is very important when

it comes to proper water drainage around your home and protecting your basement from leaks. And if you do have a leaky basement, get it fixed now. This is very important. Another freeze and thaw cycle can make it worse. At this point in the year you can still hire a pro to do it, but like any good contractor, including those who specialize in basement repairs, there’s a good chance they might be booked. If that’s the case they might try to squeeze you in at the end of the season, like late November, but

I wouldn’t recommend starting any work beyond that. The ground might freeze and then all work would have to stop. If your windows need replacing you want to do that now too. It will help you save money over winter, so you’re not cranking up the furnace. A good professional will also replace the framing and close in any gaps to eliminate air leaks. But making sure it gets done in time depends on the window manufacturer. Typically, it can take 4-6 weeks to get the right windows in. This is also the best time

to schedule an HVAC maintenance check. If your furnace needs repairs or needs to be replaced, now is the time to book a good HVAC professional. Not too many people are ahead of the game and already thinking about their heating. An HVAC pro can also take a look at your air conditioner before you shut it off for the season, and your ducts in case they need to be cleaned. Your HVAC is your home’s lungs. It literally filters the air you and your family breathe. You want to make sure it’s clean and clear, and

you maintain your home’s indoor air quality throughout winter, when we’re spending the most time indoors. It might just be September but fall is on the horizon. Start contacting the right pros you’ll need to properly winterize your home. That might mean starting with a maintenance inspection to help prioritize repairs — and the sooner, the better.

Dishing Design CONTINUED FROM F1 Try mixing it up with a coloured collection to add some punch to your table.

GlucksteinHome: Audrey Collection A simple and elegant collection that incorporates dimensional and directional motifs with gold trim. This set really brings a sophisticated and unique look to your tablescape. Use it every day to up your dinner game.

Hermes: H Deco collection I n s p i re d by t h e A r t D e c o wrought-iron friezes, which adorn the Hermes stores in Paris, this collection epitomizes true elegance. The black-and-white motifs add a modern spin to a somewhat traditional pattern and the trellisand-scalloped design brings in that Art Deco touch.

Jonathan Adler: Greek Key Collection Known for his whimsical nods to design, this set is a modern twist

Kelly Wearstler’s Bedford Collection dinnerware shows off opulence at its best. on a classic pattern. The gorgeous blue with platinum hits are subtle enough, but also makes a great statement.

Kelly Wearstler: Bedford Collection Opulence at its best, this bold design was inspired by a love of mixed metal patinas and trompe l’oeil artwork and has 22-karat gold details. The great thing about all of Kelly Wearstler’s collection is that they are made to mix and match, working seamlessly with one another to create unique oneof-a-kind dining vignettes.

Q For four years, I have lived with

my husband and two daughters in a 1990s townhouse that has a dated gas fireplace with black and brass. We’ve always hated the brass and I thought the only thing I could do was have the entire thing replaced. When watching your show, I saw that you had changed a fireplace that is identical to mine. Spitting image. We loved the makeover. Can you tell me what to do?

A Though it wasn’t a major reno,

the fireplace in the photo shown did get a serious overhaul. I’m not sure that you can complete the project in a week, unless you have a great handyman at your beck and call. But you can definitely make what you have look better in just five minutes. Painting the brass on your fireplace surround will make the biggest (and cheapest) change. You can likely remove the brass panels, take them outside and spray them with a coat of barbecue paint. There are fireplace paints in shades of grey and white that you can order online, but if your fireplace insert is already black, then black barbecue paint will work best. If the brass panels are not removable, you will need to add time for covering the mantel and floor, as well as moving your furniture, and, perhaps even building a mini-spray booth around

tto o

LIVE THE DREAM

your fireplace using cardboard and sheets of plastic. I’ve made a booth with plastic sheeting and even worn a garbage bag (über glam!) as a smock. What I’m getting at is that spray paint will go everywhere, so make sure you cover everything carefully. Depending on how far you want to take your fireplace makeover, the next step would be to add a marble surround or beef up the mantel with new trim. The trim that you see in the photo is actually MDF door casing (closest to the insert) and baseboards around the perimeter of the mantel. Our contractor, Real Landriault, mitred the corners of the mantel. To mirror the stepping of the trim, he used two pine boards — a smaller one on the bottom and a larger one on top — to make the mantel top. If you add trim to your mantel, you will feel like you have a brand new fireplace. A marble surround will give your fireplace a luxe look. To make one you’ll need to have three marble pieces cut, to between four and six inches wide, depending on how much space you have. The cost for the marble pieces is about $500, but sometimes you can find offcuts. I will leave you with a few fireplace makeover tips. Painting the mantel the same colour as the walls is a DIY job. Building a new mantel is not a DIY job, unless you are super-skilled with a saw. The windows you see surrounding the fireplace in the accompanying photo are pretty common in ’90s townhouses. Hopefully you don’t have these weirdo windows that make the fireplace look fake. But if you do, to make them disappear, cover them with simple roll shades in the same colour as the walls.

Mellow yellow

Bring in the light with this warm and motivating hue

DECOR

Designer Gloria Cortina used yellow in the design of this home to reflect the colours of the landscape and light in Mexico. ‘Yellow is a colour that is very used in Mexico,’ Cortina says.

Rebecca Keillor For The Vancouver Sun

Falken Reynolds uses wood to bring colour to its designs — perfect for what designer Chad Falkenberg calls ‘more reserved’ tastes in Canada.

Private residence by London’s Taylor Howes Designs, in which yellow accents in gold and bronze are used to complement a neutral palette.

What’s hot in fashion is often replicated in interior design trends, and the current fascination with yellow is no exception. From the lemon and pastel shades of this spring’s New York Fashion Week to more gold and bronze varieties, yellow has found favour with interior designers around the globe. “It’s all over the place,” Mexico City designer Gloria Cortina says. “Yellow is a colour that is very used in Mexico.” Cortina says this has a lot to do with the fact that they have a very “yellow light” in Mexico and it’s a great tool for designers. The late architect Luis Barragán, considered the founder of contemporary architecture in Mexico, used the yellow palette extensively, says Cortina, with the belief that yellow is the colour of light. “Barragán said that when you needed light in an interior or in a piece of architecture, you should paint it white,” she says. “And he said if you need more light, you should paint it yellow.” Cortina chose yellow dining room chairs for the beach club she has just completed in Cabo San Lucas. The Mathias coffee table she designed as part of her furniture design collection, displayed in New York’s Cristina Grajales Gallery, is made of brass and shines an iridescent gold. “Colours are always in demand,” says Oliver Marlow, a designer at London’s Studio TILT. “Their influence on people’s mood is long espoused. We evaluate colours automatically when we perceive them, therefore it allows us to create efficient interiors. For workplaces, as we mostly do, people seek positive stimulation. They want to feel happy, relaxed, creative, productive and focused, and the usage of colours brings out very favourable results.” Marlow and his team used a lot of yellow in the co-working space

Chad Falkenberg of Vancouver’s Falken Reynolds Interiors uses cooler neutrals to complement the yellow-toned oak flooring. People don’t often think of wood as a colour, Falkenberg says, but it is. they designed — Club Workspace London Bridge — believing the colour to be “vibrant, energetic and motivating.” Bronze and silver have featured in some of their most recent projects. Growing up on the Prairies, rich harvest colours provided the dominant undertone 10 months of the year, says designer Chad Falkenberg of Vancouver’s Falken Reynolds. “I think being Canadians we have a more reserved cultural bent on the way we live and interact,” he says. “We’re a little less extroverted than say Mexico, so our colours are going to be a bit more subdued.” Falkenberg says his firm often brings colour to projects through the colour of the wood used. People don’t often think of wood as a colour, he says, but it is — and it changes year to year depending on what’s fresh and new. “We’ve got a project right now where the house is mostly black and white,” Falkenberg says. “It has a very alpine feel to it, but the one colour that is consistent is oak, this really natural light European oak, so it’s a little more yellow than what our North American oaks are.” For the past five or 10 years there has been a movement away from more taupey, warm neutrals to grey neutrals, Falkenberg says,

and he is noticing a shift toward deeper blues. “What I’m seeing more is the navies and blues and a rich, rich bluey green, almost like a teal, but it’s so deep and dark that it’s almost like a midnight colour with a touch of green,” he says. Blue is a hot colour this season, says Sandra Drechsler, creative director at London’s Taylor Howes Designs. “We just completed a show flat in London’s Mayfair that contains very luxurious joinery throughout,” Drechsler says. “All the furnishings were kept in blue, black and metallics, which looked very elegant. You would think that blue and black might clash, but it worked very well.”

Other colours on the up:

■■A leading designer in Mexico, Gloria Cortina is in love with the salmon and flamingo shades seen everywhere in fashion right now and uses them in combination with navy blue for an elegant look. ■■Pantone’s colour of the year, Marsala — an earthy red — works well with the deeper blues that are becoming popular, says Chad Falkenberg of Vancouver’s Falken Reynolds.

HOME DECOR

Cover walls without breaking the bank Cheap art, photos can do the trick THE WASHINGTON POST Kerra Michele Huerta is an interior and event designer and the writer behind the popular design blog, AptEnvy.com, a site dedicated to improving the lifestyles of those renting the American dream. She joined writer Jura Koncius on our Home Front online chat. Here is an edited excerpt.

Q: I have a blank space over

my buffet table in my dining room. I’m looking for a piece of art that’s affordable and stylish. Any suggestions on where to look? A: Those big empty spaces can be tricky! There are a few things you can do to fill a large wall space: ■ Check out flea markets, thrift stores and consignment stores for inexpensive vintage art. You can find really big ones (like the one above my fireplace) for cheap, and they’re usually framed! ■ Blow up one of your favourite photos! If you’re anything like me, you have thousands on your phone right now. Upload them to an online printing service and get them as wrapped canvases, or have them printed poster-size and put them in a big Ikea Ribba frame. Both are inexpensive solutions. Try Costco (if you have a membership) or Mpix.com for printing. ■ Same as above, but try it with gorgeous fabric or wrapping paper! I often bring home fabric from my travels, and wrapping it on a blank canvas from an art supply store is a great way to display it. ■ Cluster multiple frames together for a grid or organic gallery wall. Ikea is my favourite option for budget frames and, if you get all the same colour, you can mix and match art with photos in the same grouping.

make the space look a little more casual and updated. Should I hang on to my old rugs? Is mauve coming back any time soon? I’m having anxiety about getting rid of them. They don’t look awful, but they’re definitely dated. A: I’m personally a huge fan of mixing those vintage rugs with more modern decor. I do it all the time in my clients’ homes. To make the mauve more current, mix it with an unexpected colour and freshen up the whole room. If you can’t afford to get a contemporary sofa (or other large furnishings) right now, try adding accessories in your new bold colour. Try celery green as an accent to the mauve — an unexpected and modern combo!

Q: I am slowly updating my

decor (on a budget), and I have two custom Masland area rugs (formal living and dining rooms) that were great in the ’90s but now look dated because of the mauve colour. I was thinking of just going with a solid grey remnant to

PATRIK STOLLARZ/ STOLLARZ/AFP/Getty Images files

A couple mulls over a potential new purchase. Flea markets, thrift stores and consignment stores are great places to locate inexpensive vintage art.

I dream of having a beautiful home, but it’s so daunting and of course, I’m on a budget. Every time I get up the gumption to, say, paint or buy new living room furniture, I start to think of all of the other things I want to do, too — replace closet doors, add

closet organizers, upgrade my kitchen, etc. — and then “home improvement” feels too big and I get overwhelmed and abandon it. Do I really need to tackle all of these things (and the decisions involved) at the same time, or is there a good way you can recommend to chunk it up? A: It took me 11 months to transform my tiny apartment, so I know exactly what you’re talking about. Here’s a way to break it down so you don’t get so overwhelmed: ■ Make a list of the rooms you want to freshen up. ■ Make a list of everything you’d like to fix/change in that room. ■ Every time you have a free night, day or weekend, take a peek at your list and do a project. There’s no “correct” order in which to do it — especially when doing little projects — so just pick things you’re in the mood for and check them off the list as you go. It will feel good to see the list slowly dwindle, and seeing the progress will help you stay positive.

very important because it provides added living space, storage and possible income (as a rental unit),” says Vito Vessio, a sales representative with Re/ Max. Trying to sell a home that has an unfinished basement with a structural issue can be a bit more complicated. The impact on price will depend on the location of the home, the size of its lot and the type of space being sold (is it detached, semi-detached or a townhouse). What a potential buyer wants to do with the home

is also a factor. “If the property is going to be completely renovated or tor n down, the issue won’t matter, especially if the home is in a good neighbourhood. “If this doesn’t apply or the home happens to be attached or a semi, then this will affect the price, especially for first-time buyers who may not have extra funds to deal with (a structural issue).” Sellers in this position should always work with an agent to do a cost-benefit analysis of whether it

adds. “There are also private or secondary lenders they can approach, but the interest rate is higher. I wouldn’t recommend that, but they can discuss these other options with their bank/mortgage broker.” Just thinking about selling your home raises myriad questions about what to fix and what not to.

hire their own inspector or structural engineer to satisfy themselves.” If the sellers decide to stay in their space, because of location or for sentimental reasons, they should fix the issue as soon as possible (“it’s only going to get worse,” says Vessio) or set up a meeting with their bank to discuss financing the renovation. “If they have enough equity in their home and qualify, they can increase their mortgage or get a secured line of credit using the space as security,” he
