Asia after his college years, Owner Hugo Brooks came away with a passion for Asian art, culture and philosophy. With that, he combined his love for design and the proverbial treasure hunt. “I love to shop, and I’m constantly searching out new sources of the practical, unusual, uplifting and outrageous,” Brooks says. Since Indochine first opened its doors in 1995, Brooks has been fulfilling Boulder’s thirst for functional and collectible Asian home furnishings to add a touch of serenity and quiet reverence to any space. With reputable contacts reaching back 40-plus years, Brooks has managed to cut out the middleman through direct importing, eliminating mark-ups and bringing the exotic to the Front Range at approachable price points. “We have an extensive collection of unique architectural

pieces from Japan, Thailand, Bali, Burma, Mongolia, India, China and Vietnam right now,” Brooks adds. In his 10,000 square foot warehouse, Brooks offers both contemporary and antique pieces, unique lighting ideas, one-ofa-kind works of art, and other sought-after collectibles. And to spruce up your outdoor space, he offers designer – and frost-proof! – pottery, stone statuary and outdoor architectural elements to bring culture and sophistication to your outdoor living space. “We’re proud to have earned a place in the Colorado home furnishings market through our relentless efforts in customer service and presentation,” Brooks says.

CREATING YOUR PERFECT

Outdoor Oasis

riven by their love of the outdoors, many Coloradans put a lot of thought into how to make their outdoor spaces feel as cozy as the their homes’ interiors. With lounge-focused furniture and elegant lighting options in abundance these days, a backyard space can easily become just as comfortable and inviting as a living room. Mariah Maydew, president and CEO at Fruehaufs in Westminster, says Colorado’s incredible weather leads residents to consider the 16

AT HOME : INSPIRATION EDITION | SUMMER 2019

backyard as just another room in their home – one that needs to be mindfully planned when it comes to furnishings and other aesthetics. “The concept of the ‘outdoor room’ has increased in the past 10 to 15 years,” she says, “so our industry was talking about it then, but now it has become mainstream.” A relative seamlessness to a home’s indoor and outdoor areas makes any home seem bigger and adds versatile entertainment space. Maydew says sales at Fruehaufs are trending away from dining sets and toward bulkier, comfier lounge pieces.

“People only have so much space, so when it’s an either/or, people start to ask how often they’re going to get their plate and silverware and bring everything out there,” she says, “versus just grabbing a glass of wine to go out with and relax.” This mirrors interior design trends, she says, as home builders move away from formal dining rooms in favor of more casual eat-in kitchens, bar-height seating and built-in options like banquettes. Maydew says swivel rockers are extremely popular and pair well with a fire pit as a focal point. “We are drawn to fire as a gathering place,” she says. “It creates

ambiance and heat, and it’s a social, pleasant thing to do.” Rik Isakson, outdoor living manager at McGuckin Hardware in Boulder, shares the view that homeowners are increasingly interested in using their outdoor spaces mainly for chatting and relaxing. “Grilling and table sets have always been there, but we are seeing a trend in what’s called deep seating, just to sit around and talk,” he says, adding that his customers also favor swivel chairs with thick cushions. For another approach, McGuckin sells LaFuma Zero Gravity Recliners – a lounge option that, while large in footprint, can be folded and stowed post-backyard stargazing. When eyeing cushioned outdoor chairs, Maydew says, focus on the fabric. Quality outdoor cushions should consist solution-dyed acrylic

material and outdoor-specific thread. The core material, she says, should be reticulated foam, which won’t hold water and won’t mold. Maydew says good-quality cushions are worth the upfront investment because replacement cushions are often 50 percent of the cost of the entire piece. The sectionals is another comfortdriven option. These L-shaped outdoor couches are growing in popularity, especially for apartment dwellers with little outdoor real estate. “Our manufacturers are responding to that in creating smaller scale but still comfortable pieces that are fully cushioned,” she says. “It used to be, ‘Oh you have a small space? Here is a

bistro set.’ ” After choosing seating, consider where you’re going to set snacks, drinks and that cool Bluetooth speaker you bought on Prime Day. A larger center coffee table – round ones can be easier to maneuver around for smaller spaces – along with a couple of convenient side tables, ensure everyone has a place to set something down. Investing in furniture covers is the best way to keep your outdoor pieces clean and dry, Maydew says. Dusty, neglected furniture keeps many from using their outdoor spaces often enough, she adds. For backyard fun in the hot Colorado sun, the bigger the umbrella, the better, Maydew

advises. Having shade over your backyard seating area makes it both safer and more hospitable to sit outside on a scorching day at elevation. Cantilevered umbrellas – some now coming with lights and speakers built in – are very popular, Maydew says, and many of these newer umbrellas have much heavier bases, eliminating the need for a pesky center pole. Retractable awnings that attach to a home’s roof offer a more permanent solution. When the sun goes behind the mountains, light up your Colorado summer evening with a combination of modern backyard lighting. Maydew carries and is fond of Fermob’s design-focused portable lighting options. “We used to do more Tiki torches,” she says, “but people don’t like the open flame concept or the fuel as much as the portable, rechargeable LED.” Likewise, Isakson says LEDs are now in everything from string lights to battery-operated lanterns and rechargeable plug-in lanterns. Additionally, McGuckin sells Christmas lights 12 months a year, often as mood lighting for outdoor spaces.

Bring leather furniture back to life BY ELISE OBERLIESEN

he look and feel of leather furniture gives a classic and timeless look to any room. That is, until the leather cracks or gets a few too many claw marks from the family cat or dog. If that’s the case, maybe it’s time to call Leatherman Restoration, a company dedicated to restoring your beloved furniture. Anyone who makes an investment in leather furniture probably wants to keep it looking its best. Owner Dennis Lowrie, started the Lakewood-based business in 2006 and has made a lot of happy customers along the way. That’s because he treats customers like friends – he gives an honest opinion

about the repair job and offers a fair price to fix it up. Leather furniture only looks good as long as the plastic coating on top of it hasn’t deteriorated. To get that new look and feel back, Lowrie sands away the plastic before he treats it with his products – which he invented. “We are in the plastic removal business because the plastic breaks down about 10 to 12 years after it’s

purchased,” Lowrie said. “When I’m through with it, it will feel like the “hand of leather”…it will look like, feel like, and smell like leather again.” Customers who call on Leatherman to restore their leather furniture do so because they value their investment in quality furniture.

Selling Your Home This Summer? EXPERTS SHARE TIPS FOR SUCCESS BY JUDY FINMAN

f you are putting your house on the market this summer, you may welcome advice on selling it quickly and for a good price. Two savvy local real-estate professionals with a lot of experience share strategies for achieving your goals. When it comes to imparting vital advice for a successful home sale this summer, Realtor Barb Silverman, Real Estate Advisor from LIV Sotheby’s International Realty in Boulder, has a useful to-do list. “Start with the exterior. The first impressions need to be great, to create a quality experience. Spend time to mow the grass, edge, trim and clear all the wayward brush. You want to show the house at its best. Store miscellaneous yard items, like toys and tools. This shows pride of ownership and indicates to a buyer how you have cared for the property. Another easy and effective tip is to 20

power-wash the house, to get rid of any cobwebs that have accumulated over the winter, and splurge on clean windows. Then add a few flowerpots near the front door.” She points out that “a good agent will walk you through this property preparation tailored to your specific home. “Once inside, we again have an opportunity to make the best impression. So start with a property that smells good.” She recommends “deep cleaning, declutter, and especially on hot days of summer, the air conditioning needs to be keeping the house cool. “Strategies you can implement to help sell your house faster include doing all of the above to have the house in move-in ready condition. I also recommend staging with neutral colors. Clean out pantries and drawers because people do look inside to check on the quality. “Be flexible on terms, like the date for closing and possession.”

In pricing your home, she says, “There are a lot of variables. You need a quality agent to help you with relevant market data and market trends. Be current with important factors like interest rates, financing and local market conditions. To sell quickly, create a competitive pricing strategy for your market; being informed is the advantage. “Show your home to a buyer as a blank canvas. Allow the buyer to envision themselves in the property. Depersonalize everything. Pink bedrooms or personal photos distract buyers. We create specialized plans for each seller as well as assist buyers to see the vision. “Buyers want a place to call home, a place to share with their friends and family, and to be part of a community. Every home has a story; we tell the story.” Realtor Chris Haught of WK Real Estate replies “Clean, clean, clean” when asked about preparing a house for sale. “I share with my

clients that every drawer and cabinet will be looked in. Windows are very important. Air-conditioning units, furnaces that push the cool air throughout the home should be cleaned. Landscaping should be picture perfect.” To sell the property faster, he says, “Price is critical. The market is nowhere near what it was a year ago – it is slower. Buyers have no sense of urgency and the days on market are higher. Things are still selling well but taking longer. The key to maximizing your net return is to get it on the market and off as fast as possible. It does not take long for people to say, ‘what is wrong with it?’ if it sits too long. “Buyers are tech savvy and very picky right now. They know a good value when they see it. If you are trying to set a neighborhood record with the highest price, they will see that as well and most likely pass on your property, or wait until you start chasing the market and lower the price.” In pricing your home, knowing the most recent comps that an appraiser will most likely use is critical, Haught says. “It does not matter what your Zestimate is or what anyone within the transaction thinks about the value. It all boils down to what an appraiser and underwriter will approve on paper. I always make sure it will appraise before I ever put a sign in the yard, to avoid future stress and disaster for everyone involved.” Which home improvement and remodeling ideas will increase your home’s value? “That depends on the age and location of the home. Often times it is smarter to replace a 20-year old furnace than it is to update a small bathroom. Buyers always guestimate much higher on replacement costs than real costs. One example is a large home I sold

recently and the wood floors were property is unique. It really boils heavily worn.

conditioning system are the crucial barriers between the elements and a home’s interior. Thus, explained Jeff Richard, general manager at Northern Colorado Air, Inc., “It is important to properly maintain the cooling system to optimize the life of your unit.” Before revving the AC, homeowners should trim bushes near the unit and clean the system. Northern Colorado Air experts routinely remove an AC’s cover to replace the filter and slough off a year’s worth of debris. “If you only spray from the outside, you’re just packing the stuff that’s inside the unit into the coils,” Richard said. His team performs free air quality tests, which measure dust particulates and volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, in the home. With the average life expectancy of an air conditioning system at about 15 years, homeowners seeking to replace their air conditioner enjoy a variety of environmentallywise options. New air conditioners include ozone-friendly refrigerant and are quieter and more efficient than units developed a decade ago, Richard said. As a Lennox premier dealer, Northern Colorado Air offers, he said, the most “cost-effective, long-term and satisfying solutions to

every manner of comfort challenge across northern Colorado and the entire Front Range.” ANNUAL ROOF INSPECTIONS PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE

Roofs take a beating during Colorado’s harsh winters and hailfilled springs. Cory Thompson, director of marketing at Scott’s Roofing and Solar in Lafayette, said, “Your roof is one of the largest and most important components of your home. Know the condition of your roof and be planning ahead for when it needs to be replaced.” Scott’s Roofing and Solar Director of Operations J.R. Baird said, “Have your roof inspected every year to see if any recommended repairs need to be made. We do free roof inspections, and it is better to be proactive than reactive.” If a repair or replacement roof is recommended, Baird urged, “Do your research ahead of time. Make sure the company you call is local and has the proper credentials.” A repair usually “makes sense when the roof is still in good working condition, but just needs a small fix,” he continued. “If the roof is old and worn, you have to decide if the cost for repair is worth putting money into a roof that will

soon need replaced.” When replacing, “asphalt shingles are always a good place to start,” Baird said. “If you are looking for something with more curb appeal and budget is not an issue, concrete tile or stone-coated steel are great products.” Besides for roofing, Scott’s installs solar panels residentially and commercially. Baird said, “Adding solar panels to your roof reduces your carbon footprint, increases your property value and if you add solar in 2019, you can take advantage of a 30 percent tax credit.” ENERGY-EFFICIENT WINDOWS SAVE MONEY

Upgrading windows from “cheap builder grade” is one of the simplest ways to improve a home’s comfort and efficiency, said Robert Sweeney, division manager at Champion Home Exterior, a Fort Collins mainstay for more than 20 years. For ultimate energy economics, he said, homeowners should consider double-paned, argon-filled glass and first-generation vinyl, rather than wood, frames (recycled vinyl yellows in Colorado sun, and unlike wood, vinyl frames do not need to be sealed, caulked or painted).

Upgrading windows is one of the simplest ways to improve a home’s comfort and efficiency. (Photo: Shutterstock). ATHOMECOLORADO.COM

“At Champion Home Exteriors, our glass has 12 coats of low-E, or lowemissivity, coatings and foam-filled frames, which means the windows block energy transfer through the glass and frames,” Sweeney explained. “Champion windows effectively reduce 95 percent of UV rays, reflect infrared rays and are Energy Star rated.” Window shoppers will want to compare warranties between companies, as Champion’s coverage of natural wear and tear is rare in the industry, Sweeney said. “A factory-direct company,” he noted, “we design the window, we build the window, we sell the window, we install the window and then we warranty the window.” Sweeney said Champion is also the “number one seller of sunrooms in America” and offers “siding and exterior and sliding glass doors with a worldclass warranty at middle-of-the-road pricing.” REJUVENATE A HOME WITH CARPET

Kelley McDonald, co-owner of McDonald Carpet One Floor & Home in Boulder, said, “Carpet is still one of the most purchased flooring products and can easily be installed to add an incredible look to your home.” Mishelle Nauman, owner of Carpet Masters in Longmont, concurred, stating, “We have all types of carpet for every budget.” Experts at McDonald Carpet One and Carpet Masters help customers decide which flooring

bests suits a room, depending on traffic, desired sound proofing and use, and stock tile, hardwood and vinyl and luxury laminate flooring in addition to carpet and area rugs. Nauman said, “Always consider your daily lifestyle activity level. If you have pets or children, a more durable carpet like nylon would be best suited for that lifestyle.” Carpet options vary by fiber and weave, with some better equipped to hide soil and others enveloping a room in velvet. McDonald suggested, “For higher traffic areas, stick with a nylon fiber. For that extra comfortable look, lean towards a hybrid fiber like triexta.” Nauman said, “If you have just a single room or two, then remnants or short rolls are a great money-saving option.” Nauman observed that “patterns and multi-toned carpets can add texture and interest to your décor.” McDonald added, “For a higher end look, go with a subtle pattern carpet

that will make the room pop.” Finally, to maintain any flooring, McDonald said, “Whether carpet, hardwood or vinyl plank, regular vacuuming is the number one thing you can do to keep your floors looking great well into the future.” Nauman said, “Your carpets should be steam cleaned by a professional who utilizes a truck-mounted, hot extraction method every 12 to 18 months or before the carpet becomes too unsightly. Although your carpet may not look dirty, you are still required to have your carpet professionally cleaned to comply with some manufactures’ stain or soil protection warranties.

KITCHEN

Refinished countertops —a money saver indeed

BY ELISE OBERLIESEN

ant to update the kitchen without breaking the bank? Kitchen remodel jobs get real pricey real fast. And when you start pricing out granite, marble and other surfaces, the material is almost as costly as the labor to install them. Financially savvy customers who like the idea of a new look in the kitchen without the expense are turning to companies like Miracle Method, a Longmont based company that refinishes existing countertops.

“When we do an estimate, I’m generally 50 to 70 percent cheaper than replacing countertops,” Brian Weber, owner of Miracle Method. “Maybe they have a burn on their laminate, we can resurface it so it looks like a stone.” By the time they are finished, Weber said it looks completely seamless – as if it was one continuous piece of countertop. And the work is fast – it’s all finished in just two days, whereas a tear out can take weeks. “The durability is similar to laminate – we put our surface over your laminate,” Weber said. There are many looks to choose

from and Weber encourages people to go to his showroom in Longmont. “Customers love it because it cleans up easy and it doesn’t stain,” he said. “It looks like is a Silestone, which is speckled or Corian.” He works with both residential and commercial customers. Some recent customers include the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado State University in Fort Collins and the University of Wyoming in Laramie.
