The great backyard New American status symbol brings people outdoors

ill Paliouras dreamed of a backyard Eden. Not your garden-variety deck with stackable plastic chairs and a kettle charcoal grill - why settle for that? - but a loaded, supersize, decked-out deck with an outdoor living room, dining area, 54-inch grill, full kitchen, bar, twodraft kegerator, oversize island, massive weatherproof television, elaborate sound system and semicircular fire lounge.

“The Resort.”

The ultimate family room Outdoor spaces are many things these days but rustic is not one of them. Neither is natural. For many well-to-do Americans and those who

aspire to join their ranks, the backyard has become the ultimate family room, a place to be decorated and tamed, a receptacle for stylish stuff, while nature is held at bay.

During the past decade, decks transformed into major design statements. Patios mimic hotel lobbies. Backyards are stage sets, with dramatic lightscaping after the sun recedes. Pools, if you’re fortunate to have one, are excuses for ever-proliferating furniture and conversation areas. It’s the Great Fauxdoors.

“We have a very interior design look outside,” says Lindsay Foster, senior director of merchandising for Frontgate, the high-end decor company.

“We put tassels and fringes on our outdoor throw pillows.”

collections. Today, it features more than 30 with evocative names like St. Kitts, Palermo and Newport.

“I’m Greek. I love being outside. I wanted to extend my outdoor living during the winter,” says the 45-year-old dentist. His deck kitchen is only a few steps from the family’s sublime indoor one.

What else? A second dining area, a pizza oven and a mammoth rotisserie grill from Greece. To control climate and mood, a louvered roof, infrared heaters, ceiling fans and Vegas-level lighting.

Leading to the pool area, Paliouras desired twin curved staircases because - and this is a common exterior design request - “I wanted to replicate the inside part of my house outside.”

Sean McAleer completed the dream deck in June for $350,000; Paliouras’s entire outdoor extravaganza including landscaping, pool, waterfall, slide, hot tub and grotto, totaled $550,000. “Why would you want to go to the beach when you can hang out on a beautiful deck with a TV, day beds and refrigerator?” asks McAleer, owner of Deck Remodelers. “It’s all there.”

The project claimed first place in a 2020 North American deck competition - yes, there are awards for such things - and it became an Instagram hit with well over a million views. “Everybody wants to come,” Paliouras says. Friends dubbed his oasis “Paliouras Paradise” and

“People want being outdoors to be as sophisticated as an indoor living room.”

“It’s a natural desire to enlarge a home’s square footage, and this is easier than putting on an addition,” says Jane Latman, president of HGTV. The network, with 56 million unique viewers in April, is a huge influence - a favorite channel of the Paliouras deck, where the TV is frequently on - and has amped the G (garden) in its programming with shows like “Inside Out” and “Backyard Takeover.” Says Latman, “you can be more whimsical with the outdoors.

You feel more freedom.” A big beautiful outdoor space “is a little showoffy,” she says, on display in a way that living rooms rarely are.

Meanwhile, the dining room died. Too fussy, too formal, no place for soft pants or grilled treats, the dining room in

many homes is a repository for bills, bric-a-brac, dust, Thanksgiving. Outdoors offers the antidote. For something that has long been there, it seems modern and liberating.

“Americans feel they’re losing their freedom. We think we’re losing control,” says Carleton Varney, head of the venerable design firm of Dorothy Draper & Co. (who extolled bringing the outside in). Taming the outside is an exercise in control and liberation simultaneously.

“Being there, you don’t feel all containerized,” Varney says. “And being outside is happy.”

“There’s this whole craving for comfort, in creating your own luxury hotel,” says Lori Greely, CEO of Serena &

together, the outdoors being a place to be coordinated and tied together, and where feet require protection from dirt, heat, cold. We’re glamping without ever having to leave home.

“People want being outdoors to be as sophisticated as an indoor living room,” says Los Angeles designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Interior design long exhorted homeowners “to bring the outside in,” embellishing rooms with plants, wood, stone and natural light. Today’s design ethos inverts this, turning the inside out: outdoor living rooms, deluxe kitchens with cooler drawers, a luxury grill that rivals any stove in size and price, elaborate sound systems, and supersize, weather-durable televisions.

“When we were kids, parents would say ‘stop watching television and go outside,’ “ says McAleer. “Now, you can go outside and watch television.”

Exterior decorating was on the rise before coronavirus shutdowns, possibly because some folks ran out of rooms to revamp. Investment in the outdoors makes sense when you consider how much time, pre-pandemic, many workers spent in offices with sealed windows, fluorescent lighting and view-thwarting cubicles, nature seeming as distant as Mars.

During the pandemic, the home transformed into everything - office, school, gym, asylum. The backyard’s status became more exalted, a safe space where we could gather. McAleer’s business doubled this year while scarcity of building materials forced prices up 30 percent.

He completes 125 decks a year at an average cost of $125,000.

Despite the dalliance with tiny homes, many Americans covet space. It’s in our DNA, a domesticated turn on Manifest Destiny. For decades, the number of people in the average U.S. household continued to shrink, while new family homes emulated “The Bachelor” pads.

The American backyard evolves The backyard became an American staple after World War II with the boom in single-family homes and leisure time. The first Weber grill fired up in 1952. The ubiquitous Grosfillex chair, thought to be the first mass-market plastic outdoor seating, popped a squat seven years later.

Since the mid-20th century we’ve developed better, comfier materials, and banished those uncushioned wire chairs that turn posteriors into Waffle House specials. And not only at vertiginous prices: Ikea and large home-improvement emporiums sell more affordable designs and are not immune to the phenomenon of outdoor rugs.

European dining alfresco and the legacy of wealthy Americans’ great houses are also influences on this trend, says University of Pennsylvania architecture professor emeritus Witold Rybczynski.

“All these alternative spaces, the sunroom, the parlor, create variety,” he says. “There are wonderful pleasures in being able to eat in different places. It brings a richness into your life.”

HE ENVELOPE, please. And the Perennial Plant Association’s winner for Perennial Plant of the Year is... Moonbeam Coreopsis.

No, Moonbeam was not the winner this year, but way back in 1992. Still, that’s no reason to relegate this wonderful plant to dusty archives.

Although not yet in bloom, Moonbeam has been both prominent and pretty out in my garden for more than a month. The leaves are the source of enjoyment, as they blanket the ground in a ferny, airy, lime green mat a few inches high. Moonbeam belongs to a coreopsis species sometimes descriptively called threadleaf coreopsis.

Picture cosmos’ stalks and threadlike leaves telescoped down to eighteen or so inches high and you have Moonbeam.

The leaves are a perfect foil for the flowers, which are creamy yellow daisy heads with narrow petals, when they do appear later. Another plus for Moonbeam is that its flowers keep brightening those airy mounds of foliage right

A ‘tussie mussie’ of flowers

I

S IT A TUSSIE MUSSIE, a bouquetiere, a porte-bouquet, a nosegay or a posey holder? This funnel-shaped metal object was a fashionable accessory with an important purpose.

In medieval times, the streets smelled from garbage and horses and other animals and lack of toilets. Women carried small bouquets of herbs and spices to cover the foul odors that they thought carried diseases.

By Victorian times, the bouquets were bunches of sweet-smelling flowers or tussies. The stems were kept moist in damp moss and they were named tussie mussies.

They were held by the long handle, just under the ladies? nose. Some were made with chains and a ring that went on a finger to hold the tussie mussie and others were made to pin to the waistband when the lady had to use her hands to climb out of a carriage or go down stairs holding a railing.

This tussie mussie is made with a chain and a tripod stand that folds up. The 4 1/2-inch flower-holding cone is made of hinged, engraved silver with wrigglework flowers. It was made around 1875. It sold with two others for $1,188 at a New Orleans auction.

You could even root individual stems by stripping off their lower leaves, poking the bare portions into a moist potting mix, then keeping the whole affair in a shaded, sheltered spot for a couple of weeks.

about 1985. Is it rare?

A. “Jem and the Holo-

grams” was an American animated series that mixed science fiction with adventure and a bit of romance about a 1980s Glam all-girl rock band led by a girl named Jem. The Glam dolls and accessories

by Hasbro with big hair, edgy wardrobes and glittery glamrock makeup were popular from 1985 to 1988, when Hasbro stopped making them.

The dolls were taller than Barbie with more realistic body proportions. Recently, the cartoons have been airing on cable TV and Netflix, renewing interest in Jem.

By Kathy Orton The Washington Post

A tussie mussie is a flower holder popular in the late 19th century. It was filled with fresh flowers to be sniffed during an evening to cover the unpleasant smells of poor sanitation.

(COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)

Samuel Augustus Weller started his own pottery business in 1872 in Fultonham, Ohio, making stoneware jars and clay flowerpots. In 1882, he moved his company to Zanesville, Ohio. By 1888, he was making art pottery.

By 1915, Samuel Weller had established Weller Pottery as the world’s largest art pottery company with pieces in the arts and crafts, art nouveau, art deco and modernism styles. Weller Pottery closed in 1948. Your horn-shaped

planter vase is common and seen frequently in thrift stores and antiques malls for $10 to $20.

TIP: Don’t put these items in the dishwasher: wooden cutting boards, good china with added overglaze decoration like gold trim, gold-plated silver ware, cast iron pans and anything repaired with glue. The heat can cause damage.

Unless you’re going into the Moonbeam nursery business, though, casually digging out pieces of established clumps works fine — I’ll bet a bulb planter would even do the job well.

With all its qualities, Moonbeam lends itself to many different kinds of plantings.

It grows well and looks good in planters. It is amenable to naturalized plantings, even meadow plantings, as might be expected of a plant native to

southeastern U.S. Moonbeam also looks great and grows well in a perennial border. Some worthy companions there might include Goldsturm black-eyed Susan, which would echo more boldly in color and in size Moonbeam’s daisylike heads, and Sprite astilbe, its soft pink flowers harmonizing with the muted yellow of Moonbeam flowers.

The purple foliage and dark pink flowers of a few clumps of Palace purple coral bells could

liven up and complete this picture. Incidentally, Palace Purple, Sprite, and Goldsturm are varieties that also had their moments of fame; they were Perennial Plant Association winners, in 1991, 1994, and 1999, respectively.

Q. I bought the prettiest,

horn-shaped, pale-green planter at a thrift store recently. It is marked Weller Pottery on the bottom.

What is the story behind it?

A.

After last week’s slight increase, mortgage rates retreated, weighed down by waning consumer confidence and rising housing prices.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average declined to 2.95% with an average 0.7 point.

(Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. They are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 3% a week ago and 3.15% a year ago. The 30-year fixed average has hovered below 3% for five of the past six weeks.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments.

Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The survey is based on home purchase mortgages, which means rates for refinances may be higher.

The price adjustment for refinance transactions that went into effect in December is adding to the cost. The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount. That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan.

The 15-year fixed-rate average slipped to 2.27% with an average 0.6 point. It was 2.29% a week ago and 2.62% a year ago. The fiveyear adjustable rate average continued to hold steady, unchanged for the second week in a row at 2.59% with an average 0.2 point. It was 3.13% a year ago.
