McBride recently painted room, black helps embrace her laundry room to make the nighttime darkness and it feel bigger (she says it’s induce a good night’s sleep.” about the size of a walk-in Another consideration is the closet) and add contrast to the direction your room faces. “If large white washing machine it’s north or east, this is often and dryer that dominate the a great opportunity to go darker, as the idea of painting an space.

Do-it-yourself kitchen classic

ROM THE ADIRONdack chair on the patio to the cedar chest in the bedroom and the rocking horse in the nursery, it seems like there’s a classic woodworking project for almost every room in the house.

Now do-it-yourselfers can add a kitchen classic to the list, with this traditional breakfast nook project.

A natural for any casual meal (not just breakfast!),

this do-it-yourself version is a great place to have a cup of coffee, read the newspaper or play a game. The project is scaled to fit almost any kitchen, and each bench features a big storage compartment

under the seat perfect for table linens, dry goods or even board games.

The nook is built mostly from four sheets of oak plywood (as pictured; other

finish is more forgiving for imperfect walls.

Nix, on the other hand, avoids using matte black.

She feels it dulls a room.

Instead she opts for a high gloss, which “will reflect light and give dimension to your space.” Just beware: High gloss paints show every imperfection, so your walls need to be in perfect condition.

Nix’s favorite black paints are both from Farrow & Ball: Pitch Black, which she says is a true black, and Railings, which has a subtle blue tint.

Brackeen’s go-to colors are C2 Paint’s Aperture (C2-981) and Benjamin Moore’s Deep Space (2125-20).

McBride likes Sherwin-Williams’s Tricorn Black because, she says, “It’s a true black color with no undertones and looks good in every paint finish.”

For color, O’Donnell recommends using a black with an underlying nuance — whether it’s blue, red or green — so you get notes of different colors as the light changes throughout the day. Whatever color or finish you choose, he says it’s important — especially when going from light to dark — to use a primer and undercoat in the same tone as the wall color so you get a rich and saturated result.

If a full-blown black room is too much for you, try adding touches of black. Fishburne suggests using black furniture, textiles, and accessories in your design mix because “they add weight to very light rooms and additional depth to rooms already painted in a darker hue.” McBride likes to paint interior doors black, and she often uses black curtain rods because, she

says, “they’re like the eyeliner of window treatments. They draw your eye up the walls to the ceiling, highlighting molding and other room elements that may otherwise be missed.”

Appraiser fooled by value of marble busts

HAT SHOULD my painting sell for? Antiques appraisers are not licensed like real estate appraisers, but there are art appreciation courses in universities, degrees in fine art and appraisal associations that require members to pass tests. Some work in an art gallery, auction company or museum and learn to appraise through experience.

A treasure can be found in a house sale, resale shop or charity auction; however, the White House had an eglomise desk that was a reproduction.

The Ford museum bought a fake 1620 “Brewster” chair made deliberately to fool a museum “expert” in 1969. And sometimes a real treasure is thought to be a reproduction.

A pair of marble busts made

by Jean-Antoine Houdon (1741-1828) were exhibited in Paris in 1789. They were bought in Paris in 1926 by an American diplomat, mentioned in a reference library in 1932 and passed down in the family of the American diplomat. They were “lost” until a Cottone auction in 2019. The pair sold for $1.475 million. Where had they been? The last record was in a 2000 house sale run by a New York auction house that had an appraiser who did not realize that they were busts

by Houdon. The 11-inch-tall busts are signed and dated, 1788 and 1789. One is JeanJacques Rousseau, the other Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon. The busts must have been in the diplomat’s house and then a relative’s for 77 years after the collector who bought them in Paris died in 1941.

ily member pass away who was a collector of Mary Gregory. Before I give this glassware away, can you tell me if there is a demand for it. If so, approximately

what price range collectors are paying?

A.

Mary Gregory glass is colored glass or clear glass decorated with white figures.

It wasn’t made by a woman named Mary Gregory, as is sometimes believed. The first glass known as Mary Gregory was made in Bohemia about 1870. Figures were usually children at play.

Similar glass is made today in the United States and other countries. Children standing, not playing, were not pictured until after the 1950s. It was thought Mary Gregory worked at the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company but that’s not true. Westmoreland SEE ANTIQUES, PAGE F6

Spitz apple has place in history

HOMAS JEFFERSON was right: Spitz is one of the greatest. Apples, that is. Esopus Spitzenberg, to use the variety’s full name, was the variety that T.J. preferred over all others from his Monticello orchard.

And soon it will be coming into perfection.

But I’m rushing the season.

No, Spitz is not still hanging on the tree. The fruits have been picked and are tucked away in the refrigerator. As with other so-called winter apples, storage brings about subtle changes within the cells, changes that lead to radical improvements in flavor. Spitz’s gustatory peak of perfection arrives in December, and holds until February, or longer under good storage conditions.

Okay, okay, so I have already been sneaking a few apples now and then out of the refrigerator. As I bite into the pale yellow flesh, it’s hard to imagine that the flavor could get better.

Esopus Spitzenberg is not a sweet apple; then again, to

describe it merely as “tart” would do injustice to its complexity of flavor. There’s some spiciness mixed in, and a mellow sweetness that overlays the tartness like silk.

You’re unlikely to find Esopus Spitzenberg at any local market or orchard, but this was not the case a hundred or so years ago. Back then this variety was quite popular, with commercial production centered in New York and Washington state. Early in the 20th century, Spitz was New York state’s eighth most important apple, after such notables as Baldwin, Rhode Island Greening, and Northern Spy. Number eight would be insignificant in today’s markets, with only a handful of varieties garnering the bulk of the market share, but 100 years ago you would have found a lot more varieties at farm stands and markets than you do today. Nurseries back then were selling trees of about a thousand different apple varieties in any one year.

As Thomas Jefferson’s fa-

So what happened; why is Spitz unknown today? Sad to say, as those of us who grow Spitz know too well, this variety is especially susceptible to

buds and eyes from Tokyo to Trenton. Spitz’s rich flavor is just too distinctive to appeal to everyone. Also, today’s red apples must be all red, green apples all green. Spitz has a yellow background unevenly painted over with red, generally bright red except where touched by sunlight, which darkens the skin almost to purple. A hundred years ago, Spitz was considered a handsome fruit. Not today.

and other materials and are collected today. Your hatpin holder was made by the Reinhold Schlegelmilch Porcelain Factory, which started in Suhl, Germany, in 1869. The company had a branch in Tillowitz and moved its operations there in 1932. The factory made decorated and undecorated porcelain. Much of it was exported to the United States. This mark was first used about 1914, so

your hatpin holder was probably made between 1914 and 1920. Hatpins are collectible, and costume jewelry pins sell for $20-$50. Real gold hatpins can sell for $200-$300. Hatpin holders sell for about $100 to $200.

Lacebark elm offers touch of fall, winter magic

By Norman Winter

Tribune News Service

The lacebark elm met Old Man Winter’s confrontation headon and won and is now showing out in the Chattahoochee Valley area of West Georgia. While record cold took its toll by freezing leaves to the tree, these small elms are decorating neighborhoods with a soft, orange and yellow glow.

The lacebark elm is known botanically as Ulmus parvifolia and is from China and Korea. This foreign beauty is resistant to Dutch elm disease that wreaked havoc on our native American elm.

It is also resistant to Japanese beetles that have become a recent scourge in our area.

To be honest, this is one of the most problem-free trees for the landscape. It is also a manageable size that over time can reach 50 feet tall and as wide.

As the leaves fall, they create a yellow carpet that is worthy of capturing a shot with the camera. This year, for whatever reason, the bark which always catches my eye is even more beautiful.

Perhaps the bone-chilling, 22 degrees had an influence.

More than likely it is just me rediscovering the incredible beauty that can make a fall and winter landscape seem so beautiful.

The bark is where it stands apart from the hybrid red maples. While it’s called lacebark which is most appropriate, it would also make the perfect pattern for a camouflage outfit.

The bark exfoliates revealing shades of orange, brown, gray, and olive green. Not too many trees can match this one in color and design.

In addition to yellow the lacebark may yield soft orange and yellow shades for fall foliage. (NORMAN WINTER PHOTOS)

At the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens in Savannah Ga., where it got its start as a USDA Plant Introduction Station, there was an old specimen that had stood the test of time and was like a living monument to a great and wonderful era of plant exploration. Those in West Georgia are young relatively speaking and in their prime.

After a dozen years, they are about 20 feet tall and 18 feet wide offering a perfect size for the urban environment. In the summer, their leaves are dark green and handsome leading up the fall fling. Some trials report that the color on this species is better in the south, but, certainly, this is not a deterrent in its colder zone 5 or

protected zone 4 regions.

In the south, Drake is among the most popular varieties as it is considered semi-evergreen. Northern gardeners instead, choose Emerald Isle and Emerald Vase in addition to a new release called Burgundy.

The Bosque variety with its straight central-leader would be excellent for parks, streetside, and shopping centers.

Once you select the variety for your region choose a site with plenty of sun. The soil should be fertile and welldrained. They are not picky about soil pH which is great for everyone. Even though they are quick to acclimate dig your planting hole twoto-three times as wide as the

root ball. This allows for the quickest root-expansion into the adjacent soil. The lacebark is considered a fast grower for a quality tree. Normally fast-growing is in connection with inferior, short-lived trees.

The winter reveals whether or not we planned for form and structure in our gardens and the use of bark is important. If we choose the right trees like the lacebark elm, we will realize that even though they are deciduous they will make a dramatic landscape impact.
