‘I just had time to be inspired’ Refined renovations prompted by COVID-19 pandemic
A
By Hannah Selinger
The Washington Post
dam Weingarten, 38, and his wife, Philippa Levenberg, 34, had just embarked on a renovation of their Great Falls, Virginia, home in March 2020 when the pandemic swept in.
Weingarten, a principal solutions architect at Pantheon Systems, and Levenberg, vice president of digital strategy at Qorvis Communications, purchased their 3,009-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, situated on just under 3 acres, in 2018 for $994,900. Their renovation’s timing couldn’t have been worse. The house, which was built in 1981, was due for updates. “We knew that the layout of the house was wrong,” Weingarten said. Some of the layout complications involved an impractical sunken living room, a too-small kitchen and a disjointed flow between rooms. Right before shutdowns, they signed on with Marks-Woods Construction Services, a full-service general contractor based in Alexandria, Virginia. Although they pulled the trigger at an inopportune time, the couple found that the pandemic offered an unintentional gift: time. With the pace of their renovation slowed down, they reconfigured some of their original design plans, increasing budget and breadth so their home would be better suited to their pandemic life. Weingarten and Levenberg — and their structural
and design-based renovation changes — represent a category of homeowners driven to view their homes differently amid the pandemic. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the remodeling market, which suffered a slight setback early in the pandemic, has gained renewed traction. The association predicts that renovation spending on owner-occupied single-family homes will increase by 4% this year, and by an additional 2% in 2022. After home sales dropped during the first months of the pandemic, they experienced a surge, beginning in June 2020, according to data released by the National Association of Realtors. Since then, home sales — particularly in suburban areas — have continued to climb, just as lending rates have reached rock bottom. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate average has remained below 3% in 14 of the past 16 weeks, according to Freddie Mac. Market health, low rates and a reimagining of how a home should function are all informing the world of renovations. The Weingarten-Levenberg family, suddenly forced to spend more time at home, was able to expand the parameters of the project. “I think the pandemic probably just helped us increase scope, more than anything else,” Weingarten said. “It increased our timeline, because we had to wait for different materials.” The timeline extension, he said, opened up more financial room, which meant adding on to the existing renovation. The couple upgraded their appliances, built a working fireplace, built shelving in the living room where they’d be spending more time and added a picture window to the living room. The win-

Pharmacies made mortars and pestles a trademark
L
ARGE SIGNS WITH flashing lights, clever electric signs with moving graphics and ads that identify a store by brand or content are important. But there were no electric signs before Edison invented the light bulb, so what did they use? The cigar store sign — a life-size, carved wooden Indian often holding tobacco leaves — is recognized even today. An oculist often hung a giant eyeglass frame near the front door. But what could serve as a trademark for a drug store or medical shop? Some 19th-century stores used a large glass jar in a special shape known as an apothecary jar. The jar was sometimes filled with colored water. By the 1920s, many shops used a large sign shaped like a mortar and pestle. Mortars and pestles have been used since the Stone Age to grind ingredients for food preparation or medicine. The earliest mortars were stones with shallow indentations. Soon other materials were used with deeper indentations like ceramics or metal. The name mortar comes from the Latin word for “pounder.” Mortars have been recorded in history since the Bible and in Roman poetry. Modern pharmacies still use pictures of mortars for signs. A Cowan auction sold a large, elaborate sign shaped like a mortar with a pestle handle sticking up from the inside. The sign was covered with colored cut glass dots that lit up on the outside. The 1920s sign was estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 and sold for $8,125.
figurines sell for hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars. You can check online sites to see what the figurine is selling for, but remember, most are asking prices. It doesn’t mean they will be able to sell them for that price. Try to find “sold” prices to get an idea of value. We’ve seen online prices for the Lost Sheep at $35 to $60 and a few not sold for up to $135.
Q. Did Tiffany ever make This 1920s apothecary sign shaped like a mortar and pestle is 20 inches high, made of tin with cut and colored glass mounted to the outside, and sold at Cowan’s for $8,125. (COWLES SYNDICATE INC.)
A. The mark on your figu-
rine is called the “Last Bee” mark. It’s sometimes listed as “TMK 5.” It was used from 1972 until 1979. Collecting Hummel figurines was popular several years ago, but interest declined in the late 1990s. Most sell for low prices, although a few rare
desk sets? I think I own one. My parents believe it is from the 1920s. What is it worth?
A.
During the late 1880s, Louis Comfort Tiffany had a New York firm that he later named Tiffany Studios. Tiffany Studios produced more than 15 different patterns of desk sets. A set had at least nine pieces: blotter ends, inkstand, pen tray, paper rack, paper knife, rocker blotter, memo-pad holder, stamp box and calendar. Also available were other matching pieces like bookends, paperweights, lamps, thermometers, scales and even reading glasses. Today, any single piece of a
Tiffany desk set is worth hundreds of dollars. But beware: Fake Tiffany pieces have been made. Authentic Tiffany desk sets made between about 1900 and 1919 are impressed or die-stamped “Tiffany Studios New York,” and each piece is impressed with a different model number. If pieces are just marked “Tiffany,” or if “Tiffany Studios New York” is written in raised
letters in a depressed rectangular area, they are fakes.

shelves, a piano and a large coffee table that’s perfect for board games and puzzles, also includes one added custom feature: French doors to each doorway of the room, though the original plan had been to leave them open. “An open concept is really beautiful, but actually extremely not functional for people trying to work and live in the same space,” Sowers said. She also found the pandemic brought out in her a desire to explore a different color palette. The mudroom, she said, was conceived as an off-white space because “that’s what everybody has.” But time spent debating her options gave her the motivation to make a departure from the plan. “Having time and looking through magazines, I just had time to be inspired and use more color,” she said. “It’s an aquamarine now.” “You don’t have plans; you have a conceptual idea,” said Greg Marks, 44, director of business management and co-owner of Marks-Woods Construction Services, of home renovations in their infancy. That idea, he said, is always subject to change, and the pandemic provided an opportunity to think long and hard about permanent choices. It also provided an added financial incentive.
“People aren’t taking vacations, at least during that period of time,” he said. “It’s worth taking some of that money, putting it into the house.” Some clients have seen the pandemic as an opportunity to build out the house that truly meets all of their life’s needs, Marks said. Many homeowners have found that unexpected dream homes are a result of the pandemic. Having extra time
to truly consider the use and design of her home, Vineeta Chopra said, turned out to be a benefit. While many homeowners leave a renovation wishing they had done something differently, she is completely satisfied with the choices she made in her delayed project. Her sentiment resonates. “I don’t wish I’d changed anything,” she said. “I love every bit of it.”

ny was founded in 1880 by Margarete Steiff. Her first big seller was a stuffed elephant. In 1892, the first illustrated Steiff catalog showed elephants, monkeys, donkeys, horses, camels, pigs, mice, dogs, cats, hares and giraffes. In 1902, Steiff bears were shown at the Leipzig toy trade fair. The bears were a success in the U.S. under the name of “Teddy Bear” — named after President “Teddy” Roosevelt. The trademark “Steiff Button in Ear” was added in 1904. The mohair tiger came in three sizes and had an embroidered pink nose. It sells for about $110. Glowing green eyes could add value. TIP: If the drawer in a cabinet sticks, buy some silicone spray. Spray only the runners and the sides of the drawer. Do not let any spray get on the front finish of the cabinet.

Variety of tomatoes can all provide great taste
S
OME PEOPLE, many of them gardeners, believe that the secret to eating a delectable tomato is to grow it yourself. Second best, they say, is farm-fresh. At the risk of committing horticultural sacrilege, I say “not so” in both cases. Ripeness is, of course, important to great flavor — an unripe tomato tastes no better than cotton soaked in diluted lemon juice. But this time of year, ripe tomatoes are to be had everywhere — from backyards, roadsides, farm stands, even supermarkets. And if truth be told, tomatoes picked slightly underripe can still ripen to perfection off the plant, as do bananas, winter apples, and pears. (Not every fruit ripens after picking. Underripe peaches, plums, grapes, and cherries, for example, will soften and might even lose some acidity after picking, but this is different from true, flavorful ripening.) The real secret to eating a delectable tomato is getting a variety that tastes great. There are hundreds and hundreds of tomato varieties around. Many have been selected or bred for commercial qualities such as high yield, good appearance, or concentrated ripening. Other

is the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here, however, things become more a matter of taste. Still, a general consensus has singled out some great varieties, such as Belgian Giant, Prudens Purple, and Brandywine. These three are old varieties, but a number of upstarts also stand out for their fine flavor. Sun Gold is a hybrid cherry tomato so flavorful that it’s hard not to gobble them all up on the way from the garden to the kitchen. Rich, flavorful canning tomatoes include San Marzano, Amish Paste, Anna Russian, and Howard’s German.

After falling four of the past five weeks, mortgage rates reversed course and moved higher. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average climbed to 2.87% 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 2.77% a week ago and 2.96% a year ago. 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. Rates for refinances may be different. As of Aug. 1, borrowers refinancing their mortgages will no longer have to pay the adverse market refinance fee. The fee, which was imposed on mortgages sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, added about $1,500 to a $300,000 loan. The surcharge was intended to offset COVID-related losses. The 15-year fixed-rate average rose to 2.15% with an average 0.7 point. It was 2.1% a week ago and 2.46% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average increased to 2.44% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.4% a week ago and 2.9% a year ago. “After touching their lowest point in six months, mortgage rates rose over the last seven days as some key economic reports shifted the market’s outlook,” said Matthew Speakman, a Zillow senior economist.

O
Rocking horse is old favorite
NE OF THE ORIGInal “trace, cut and assemble” do-ityourself projects created by U-Bild founder Steve Ellingson in the late 1940s, this little rocking horse is nicknamed “Slivers.” His unique design, made up of just 17 pieces traced from full-size patterns, was inspired by Mrs. Ellingson’s sewing patterns. The patterns made it simple for any woodworker — even beginners — to get great results. Since then, “Slivers” has become an heirloom in countless families. Built from a single piece of 1-by-12 lumber, the project is as inexpensive as it is easy. Designed with safety in mind, it features rounded edges and a limited rocking motion that makes it difficult to tip.
Construction is simple, and requires only common tools. Just trace the pieces onto wood, cut out and sand. Next, assemble the pieces using screws and glue. Finally, paint and seal with a clear finish. The rocking horse measures 32 inches long by 26 inches tall by 12 inches wide. The Rocking Horse plan, No. 56, is $9.95 and includes complete step-by-step directions, full-size traceable patterns, a shopping list and cutting schedule and a toll-free help line for project questions. The plan also has alternate traceable patterns for the head and feet that transform the project into a rocking elephant. Please include $3.95 per order for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for

Controlling humidity in your home Tribune News Service
Deeds
Fortunately, increasing humidity is a fairly simple process. All you need to do is introduce more moisture into the air, and humidifiers simply evaporate water and pump it into the air. Indeed, the most low-tech method to increase humidity is placing shallow dishes of water around the house, near vents and sunny windows. As water evaporates, it adds moisture to the air. Regrettably, dehumidifying a house is a more complex operation, since you must mechanically remove moisture from the air and direct it elsewhere. You do have a number of DIY options to minimize humidity before you bring machines into the equaHow to control humidity tion, though. For instance, If your humidity level is opening windows, leaving below 25%, consider purdoors open throughout the chasing a humidifier. Most house, increasing ventilaoptions cost less than $75 tion, and using exhaust fans and can effectively boost the will all bring down humidity humidity in a room. levels. (Pro tip: Make sure
your dryer vent directs air outside and has no leaks. Accidental heat loss from dryer vents is a big cause of humidity.) If you want to acquire a technological solution, you can install small room-sized dehumidifiers. A unit for a small room might cost about $50; systems for larger rooms start at around $175. This is a relatively efficient approach, though you’ll have to regularly dump water out of the collection chambers. For a broad-based permanent solution to excess humidity, consider installing a whole-house dehumidifier. This attaches to your home’s HVAC system and removes moisture from air as it cycles through the returns. These don’t come cheap; expect to pay between $3,000 and $5,000 for a unit. Make sure you hire a licensed HVAC installer who is experienced with these kinds of systems.
