GARDEN NOTES HAMPDEN Open house
W HAT WOULD your garden look like this time of year without flowers? Except for a luscious 10-foot by 30-foot flower border, whose sole purpose is flowers and nothing else, most gardens could benefit from well-planned “struc ture.”“Structure” in this sense means something that adds mass and stability to the garden. A bed of only flowers flounders in the middle of a lawn. The flowers are too frivolous and need to be an chored with something solid, like a tree, hedge, or stone wall.Mass and stability in a yard are provided by things that endure. A house usually is the most obvious structure on a property. Too often it is the only structural element, tied to the landscape with gum drop-shaped junipers or yews along the foundation. But what if an arbor were built out from a wall of the house, and the ground beneath that ar bor was enclosed with those same junipers or yews? Now add the flowers, to border and highlight the hedge. Another example: An expanse of large shrubs can become monotonous. That monotony can be broken with a well-placed garden bench. Put some flowers near the bench and an invitation to sit down is created. Water is another element that can structure a garden. Even a thin trickle of water can separate two areas. The same effect can be achieved with rounded stones laid down to suggest a water course. A small pool or bird bath, perhaps with some shrubs or a small tree, can be an axis around which, now, to putPlantsflowers.add weight to a gar den only if of sufficient size or density. The contribution of a 100-year-old oak is a massive trunk and stout limbs. A yew provides a luxuriant island of cool-green. Grouping plants affects their weight and use. The variety “Variegata” of shrubby Bloodtwig dogwood, because of its pale leaves and open habit, needs to be massed if it is going to add weight to a yard. Whereas flowers lend nothing to the garden the eight months of the year they are absent, structural plants are enduring throughout the year. Paperbark maple is a small tree which will provide shade in summer and capture your eye in winter with its rich, burnt-red exfoliating bark.Besides stability and weight, structure also can direct your footsteps, eyes, or imagination into the dis tance. An arch, an opening in a fence, or a pair of upright plants might be used to frame a view. A row of hedging or a path forms a line that draws you along. A double row of trees wide enough to walk through makes an allée to lure you in. Even 30 feet is enough length for an allée, provided small trees like pur ple-leaf plums, hornbeams, or hawthorns are used. A path, hedge, or allée might be straight, culminating in a bench or statue (structures!), or it can curve, to draw you along, guessing at the termi nus.Plan before you plant a large tree or hedge, build a stone wall, or put up a fence. All make strong statements, so should be considered in some sort of overall design. Does the tree, hedge, wall, or fence have a purpose? The purpose might be to enclose an area as a garden “room,” to create a shady place to sit in the summer, or a nook at which to enjoy early spring sunshine and flowers; to

Q. Advertising for beer and other alcoholic drinks is everywhere. I have a lighted (it still works) Bud weiser King of Beers sign with pheasants eating corn on the cob. It has a curved plastic cover. Is it valuable?
It was blue and white with painted dragons and it had an unusual shape — rounded with a flared rim. The descrip tion called it a “zhadou,” but did not say what that meant. A zhadou is a bowl for discarding used tea leaves and other table scraps. They usually have a globular body, shoulders, a flared rim and a short foot. The shape resem bles a squat vase. They are often porcelain, but some are made from pottery or cloi sonne. Some auctions may list them as spittoons. In the early 20th century, the word “zhadou” was translated into English as “leys jar” from a Dutch term. Now it is usually translated as “waste bowl” or “slop jar,” but these are not the same Europeanthing.and American waste bowls, often part of 19th century silver or por celain tea sets, are shaped like conventional bowls with straight sides and a round base. Some may be more elaborate, with features like a pedestal base, flared rim or side handles. Slop jars are not part of a table setting. They usually have handles and often have lids. They are used in a bathroom.
A zhadou is a bowl for discarding table scraps. This one sold for $7,680 at Nadeau’s Auction Gallery.
A. Breweriana is very popular these days, especially signs. While neon signs are the most popular and getting very high prices, yours is a popular brand, Budweiser, and is in working condition.

A. Sunkist introduced glass reamers in 1916 to encourage eating oranges. The first ones were transparent green. They were sold in variety stores and grocery stores for 10 cents. You could also order these reamers by mail, for 16 cents in the United States or for 24 cents in Canada. Sunkist sales soared. In mid-1926, McKee Glass Co. of Jeanette, Pennsylvania, started pro ducing the Sunkist reamer. They produced reamers in a rainbow of colors which included clear and opaque glass. The color varieties included 18 shades: white milk glass, transparent green, jadite, pink, custard, yellow, Fry opal, dark jade, crystal, caramel, blue milk glass, Crown Tuscan, green Fry, ivory, black, teal blue and butterscotch. Color muta tions turn up regularly and are unexplained, making these highly collectible. We recently saw a milk glass Sunkist juicer for $15, which was a pretty good buy. Online they sell for $25.

Q. I have an antique clothes iron that belonged to my great-grandmother. It’s cast iron with a wooden handle. It weighs 5 pounds and shows its age. Can you tell me anything about the iron and its value?
Q. I love vintage kitchen gadgets and utensils. One of my favorite kitchen gad gets is a milk glass Sunkist juicer. Can you tell me a little about it?
A. Irons like your grand mother’s were heated on a stove burner or in a fire. The wooden handle made the hot, heavy iron easier to use. A feature of solid cast iron is heat retention. Today, they are often used as decorations. They make great doorstops and bookends because of their heavy weight and man ageable size. A flat iron similar to yours recently sold for $30.

WASHINGTON Mortgage rates wander lower after weeks of volatility account @CocaineDecor, said the conversation pit is the per fect metaphor for the milieu of the“Nottimes.only are we physically separated from one another, we are culturally, socially and politically separated from each other, and the end to that separateness is not in sight,” Herzog, 38, said. “So the conversation pit is this fantasy of ‘what would it be like if we were together again and having a good Reevestime?’”Connelly, a 25-yearold in Brooklyn, New York, who has a popular interior de sign TikTok account, said the posts he’s made about conver sation pits always get the most engagement.“Everysingle video I would do about conversation pits would always start a discus sion. A lot of people have very strong opinions on both sides, whether they want them to come back or not,” Connelly said. “I think the pandemic made people more interested in how homes look. With Zoom meetings and everyone making social media posts from their bedrooms or living rooms, something that was private before is now totally public.”
The 15-year fixed-rate average dropped to 4.55% with an average 0.7 point. It was 4.59% the previous week and 2.16% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average slipped to 4.39% with an average 0.3 point. It was 4.43% the previous week and 2.43% a year ago.
The peak of the pit One of the most well-known conversation pits of the 20th century is in the Miller House, a private residence for archi tecture patrons J. Irwin Miller and Xenia Miller in Columbus, Indiana, completed in 1957. The pit is glorious — it fea tures five steps down into a sea of carpeting and pillows, and the slipcovers were swapped out depending on the season. The interior of the home was designed by Alexander Girard, “the perfecter of the conver sation pit form,” said Deborah Lubera Kawsky, an art histo rian and author of “Alexander Girard, Architect: Creating Midcentury Modern Master pieces.”Because Girard was director of design for Herman Mill er’s textile division, but also trained as an architect, he had an “expansive conception of interior design, one that was inextricably linked with the architecture,” said Kawsky. Many early sketches of conversation pits also featured images of lit cigarettes and martinis, Kawsky noted. “En tertaining was very important at the time. Designers were trying to show how these archi tectural forms could enhance that,” she said. But eventually the pit lost its sleek and sexy image. For one, some people started to realize that it could be dan gerous. As a 1963 TIME article put it, “At cocktail parties, late-staying guests tended to fall in. Those in the pit found themselves bombarded with bits of hors d’oeuvres from up above, looked out on a field of trouser cuffs, ankles and shoes. Ladies shied away from the edges, fearing up-skirt exposure.”Theriseof the television was another factor. Television sets became mainstream fixtures in American homes by the latter half of the 20th-century, and living rooms started being built around them, quickly making the conversation pit obsolete.
“It’s just so nice having a living room where you’re not praying to the altar of a giant LCD screen,” Chung said. It’s also incredibly playful: She’s joked about filling it with balls to turn into a ball pit, and when her friends’ children come over, they throw all the pillows into the middle of the pit and dive into it. All that fun does come with safety con cerns though, Chung noted. “You could throw an elbow and someone would fall in. When I have Christmas at my house and my grandmother and older aunts and uncles are over, I usually put benches or things along the edge,” she said.Outdoor conversation pits have also started to take off as a more modern take on the trend. Conversation pits in swimming pools have been “increasing in popularity espe cially for waterfront properties where sightlines across infinity edge pools provide the effect of sitting in the water,” said Bryan Sereny, an agent with Douglas Elliman in Miami Beach. Last year, Sereny sold a $30 million waterfront estate that had a pool with a sunken conversation and dining pit — “a very desirable feature for the buyer,” he said. Through the 1960s and ’70s, Sarah Dwelley grew up in a home with a conversation pit in New Canaan, Connecticut. The house was designed by her father, James Evans, and the pit was around 11 by 11 feet, with shag carpeting and about 2 feet below floor level, Dwelley, 68, recalled.“Mostly, it was used when we had parties. My mom and dad loved to throw parties. People would sit on the edge of it with their feet dangling into the pit or get right down into it,” said Dwelley, who now lives in Camden, Maine. “If people put their drinks down at floor level, one of our dogs would come around and drink their drinks.” After her family sold the house, the pit was covered over with flooring. Earlier this month, it went back on the market for $2.1 million, and potential buyers have expressed interest in restoring the pit, the property’s listing agent, John Engel, said. “One of my clients said, ‘I want to buy this house and definitely want to restore the conversation pit,’” Engel said. “Originality has become important as the value of these houses has risen, and the conversation pit is just one component of that.” This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

After weeks of dramatic moves, mortgage rates took a small step back this week. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average fell to 5.13% with an average 0.8 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.22% the previous week and 2.86% a year ago.
“I thought, ‘If we can’t go up, let’s go down,’” said Chung, 45. The cushions upholstered in Belgian linen, wool carpeting and exotic marble of the builtin side table were all carefully chosen to make the space a textural, sensory experience, and so as not to appear kitschy, Korven said.
Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from around 80 lenders across the coun try to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages. Rates for refi nances may be different. It uses rates for high-qual ity borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.
By K athy O rton The Washington Post
“Mortgage rates have stead ied after a few weeks of big up-and-down swings as bond markets found little impetus to move in either direction,” said Holden Lewis, home and mortgage expert at NerdWal let. “As mortgage rates stood relatively still, the number of people applying for mortgag es dropped to the lowest level since 2000. This year’s rapid rise in mortgage rates and home prices has discouraged buyers. On top of that, wouldbe buyers increasingly believe that house prices will fall, so they’re shelving their home buying plans for now, hoping to buy at lower prices later. That’s why mortgage applications are at a 22-year Meanwhile,low.”mortgage de mand declined last week to its lowest level in 22 years. The market composite index — a measure of total loan applica tion volume — decreased 2.3% from a week earlier, according to Mortgage Bankers Associa tionThedata.refinance index fell 5% from the previous week to its lowest level since November 2000. It was 82% lower than a year ago. The purchase index slipped 1%. The refinance share of mortgage activity accounted for 31.2% of appli cations.
“The pendulum swings on these architectural styles, and people eventually want to follow the new styles. As the conversation pit started being associated with a bygone era, people let it go,” Kawsky said. ‘Like a huge playpen’ For those who aren’t fans of 1900s décor, today’s conver sation pits have been modern ized — they’re often without shag carpets, have minimalist color schemes and can even be foundKristinoutdoors.Korven and Jeff Kaplon of Part Office, a design studio, created an all white conversation pit in 2019 for the Los Angeles home of Geraldine Chung, who owns a fashion boutique. The initial design decision, Korven said, came about because the space itself was small, and they wanted to make it feel like it had more volume.Chung had been “obsessed” with conversation pits for years, she said, and when she learned it would be too difficult to raise the ceiling in her living room to make it more spacious, it was the ideal excuse to install a conversation pit.

Under-cabinet lighting: Perhaps the most budget-friendly option enhances the kitchen counter. You can also use this dimmable lighting as a TV backing or for a showcase. “Whatever type of light you choose, check the fixture’s profile to make sure it will disappear in the recess under your upper cabinets. This is important for aesthetics, and it also reduces or eliminates glare, especially for people seated across the room,” Lowe’s advises.

Q. I have a very old chest that was already an antique when we bought it 40 years ago. I was told it was called a “bonnet chest.” It’s 56 inches high and has nailed rabbet dovetailed joints. I don’t know much about it or how to find out. I might be willing to sell it.

A. Bonnet chests have a compartment or drawer large enough to hold a woman’s bonnet. Large bonnets were popular in the 1800s, but bonnet chests were made even after the fashion changed. Rabbet joints have a recess in the edge of the wood, where it is joined to another piece of wood. This technique has been used since the 1400s and is still being used, so it doesn’t help date the piece. Without a maker’s name or provenance, it’s not possible to tell the age or value of your bonnet chest. Value depends on the style, wood and condition. A mahogany English Regen cy chest with two bonnet drawers, c. 1850, 56-inch es high, sold for $406. A walnut and poplar chest, c. 1825, 49-inches high, sold for $175. You can get an idea of value by searching online to see what similar bonnet chests have sold for at auction. It is easier to sell furniture locally and save on shipping.
Bustle recently compiled a list of ways you can cheaply make your home appear more expensive. Here are some ideas on lighting that can do the trick.
TIP: Use an old nylon stocking bunched into a ball to clean a rough-sur faced mirror frame, carved wooden piece, or other irregular surface. Terry Kovel and Kim Kovel answer readers’ questions sent to the column. Send a letter with one question describ ing the size, material (glass, pottery) and what you know about the item. Include only two pictures, the object and a closeup of any marks or dam age. Be sure your name and return address are included. By sending a question, you give full permission for use in any Kovel product. Names, addresses or email addresses will not be published. We do not guarantee the return of photographs, but if a stamped envelope is included, we will try. Questions that are answered will appear in Kovels Publications.

CONTINUES FROM PAGE bring attention to a rolling meadow. Avoid irrelevancies or haphazard plant ing.An allée, a billowing hedge, or a speci men beech does not spring up overnight. Even if almost full-grown plants are purchased, it takes some seasons before plants snuggle into their surroundings. With time, tree trunks, stone walls and fences acquire a green patina on their shaded sides, and, near the ground, are enveloped by surrounding plants. Age is needed to bring character to these weighty garden elements. Some aspects of gardening should be long term propositions. Any gardening questions? Email them to me at garden@leereich.com and I’ll try answering them directly or in this column. Come visit my garden at leereich.com/ blog. Reich

Scene lighting: “By far, one of the biggest benefits of choosing sconce lighting for your home is their amaz ing versatility. Because they are so minimally intrusive and are available in such a wide variety of decorative fixtures, wall lights are a beautiful addition to any room,” Brighter Homes Lighting Gallery said on the store blog.
Adding opulence to your home doesn’t have to cost lots of money. One easy way to do that is by install ing new light fixtures. It’s inexpensive and“Lightfunctional.fixture makeovers are one of the simplest ways to make your indi vidual space trendier, increase its func tionality and boost the overall style of your home,” lighting manufacturer TCP said in its blog. “Updating your lighting can have a major impact on your home’s interior design, without making a major dent in your wallet like with a complete home renovation.”
A DIY classic
Globe lamp: “What makes the globe so appealing is its timeless, classic design — think schoolhouse,” Gale Singer, founder and president of Circa Lighting told Apartment Therapy. “The globe is great as a flush mount, pendant, or chandelier. Alone, one can be used as a statement piece in a small area or multiples where space allows.”
Budget-friendly lighting for your home
Modern chandelier: “The style of the bedroom dictates the style of the light fixtures. A modern styled bedroom suggests a sleek, metal style,” SFGate reported. String lights: “String lights add a touch of warmth to indoor and outdoor spaces,” Erica Stewart, founder of Fashion Fair House Interior Design Development & Investment Firm, told Bustle.
