Concerns Raised Over City’s Push to Increase in Backyard Cottages

NORTHWEST PERSPECTIVE

The City of Seattle is considering legislation to ease current restrictions on mother-in-law apartments (Accessory Dwelling Units) and backyard cottages (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units). The author of the legislation, City Councilmember Mike O’Brien, says the changes are designed to alleviate Seattle’s housing crisis. Critics of the measure say the legislation would effectively rezone Seattle homes from single to multi-family homes, dramatically altering the character and livability of our single family neighborhoods. Currently, DADUs are allowed on single family home lots of 4,000 square feet or larger, see illustration. O’Brien’s

Color Psychology: Using different hues to create emotion with paint Do you ever wonder why you feel immediately relaxed when you enter a spa, yet when you enter a gym, you feel alert and energized? The answer can be found in the colors selected to decorate the space. “Interior designers use color psychology to evoke an emotional response,” says Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams. “Homeowners can use this strategy to connect colors with emotions and memories to create one-of-a-kind spaces.” Color psychology starts by exploring warm and cool hues and then using these different tones to manipulate mood throughout your home. It’s easy to do with the tips below.

Trick Plays for Budget-Savvy Tailgaters As fall settles in, the air gets crisper and the kids head back to school, many Americans eagerly anticipate one thing: football season. Whether you’re a die-hard gridiron fan or prefer to enjoy the food and festivities from the sidelines, everyone can agree that a successful tailgate is key to any memorable game day get-together. According to a recent Bank of America survey, 34 percent of Americans plan to attend a professional or college football game or tailgate this fall, and 20 percent plan to host a tailgate or viewing party themselves. While many love planning out meals, decorations and activities for friends and family, the costs can easily add up and make hosting feel like an underdog game. So how can fans plan a tailgate that stays on budget and impresses any crowd - home or away? Home design and DIY experts Ben and Erin Napier teamed with Bank of America to provide these cost-savvy tips for pulling off a memorable tailgate that fits the bill for every fan on game day. Get in the Competitive Spirit Whether you’re grilling outside the stadium or spending halftime hanging out in your backyard, Ben recommends laying out a variety of games for guests to enjoy, such as a wood-block game with blocks painted in your team colors. Follow these simple steps: ➊ Sand down wooden four-by-fours. ➋ Cut into 48 pieces, each eighteen 18 inches long. ➌ Stack pieces into a tower. ➍ Take turns pulling pieces to see who knocks the tower over first. For added flair and personalization, Erin suggests painting the wooden blocks your team colors. (Family Features)

Fall entertaining forecast: cozy, comfortable and outdoors Whether an afternoon tailgating before the big game or a fun-filled evening under the dazzling autumn stars, the forecast for this season’s entertaining is trending toward cozy, comfortable and outdoors. “I think the big lifestyle shift right now is toward eating out less and entertaining more at home, and autumn is the perfect season for taking your get-togethers outside,” says Keith Winkler, marketing manager for dinnerware giant Replacements, Ltd. “Think about it - the temperatures are cooling down following our record breaking summer heat. You can have more people at outdoor gatherings than you can generally fit in your home. Plus, there’s more flexibility because you can easily have one or more set ups, whether that means setting up tables

for dinner or having canapés and finger foods around a fire pit.” Fall is a great season for ditching the paper and plastic and taking your dinnerware outdoors. Tableware industry experts say there are many positives to introducing your “good stuff” to Mother Nature. It won’t blow away like paper plates, and it’s far more environmentally friendly than Styrofoam. Mix it up While serving finger foods on small plates is extremely popular and encourages your guests to mingle, there’s a definite return toward the comfort and connection of

Mix candles with your glassware to create cozy fall centerpieces

a sit down meal. To set the perfect fall table, designers encourage mixing and matching patterns to reflect your distinctive style. “I generally start with a pattern that sets the tone for the evening, one that reflects what I’m feeling for this particular gathering,” says Replacements’ designer Julie Robbins. “Whether

that’s a cute salad plate that’s going to sit atop the dinner plate, or a fun color I want as my main design element or theme. I then add pieces that either draw out that feeling or ground the place setting to give me the ambiance I want for my entire table.” Robbins says that may mean pairing a current fall favorite, such as a dinner plate in Woodland by Spode, with vintage American amber glass from the 1940s. She also mixes different pieces. For example, adding a hued glass accent salad plate creates another layer of dimension, while a bright goblet can infuse a much needed pop of seasonal color. Light up your evenings There’s really no need to go heavy on the decorations for fall outdoor entertaining. Bright leaves, pumpkins, seasonal berries and other naturals create the perfect autumn décor. Experts say you don’t need a floral centerpiece if you have nature all around you. Instead, use candles to

light up your evenings. “It’s time to upgrade from the Mason jar look by mixing glassware and candles,” says Robbins. “Lighting can truly set the mood for your gathering, which is why I’m big on creating an eclectic grouping down the middle of my table by mixing glass and metal candlesticks with hurricanes, clear decanters and other pieces I can use to hold candles. If you don’t think you have enough pieces, old tumblers make great votive cups, while you can also turn wine glasses and goblets upside down and place candles on the inverted base. This is beautiful for daytime entertaining, and when lit, creates a simple, warm feeling on those nights when you’re just starting to feel a nip in the air.” Looking for more fall inspiration? Robbins and team suggest checking out Replacements’ website at www.replacements.com.

Top 5 secrets

from professionals on home renovation When asked what kind of upgrades homeowners would like to make in their home, most have a similar wish list that includes features like marble or granite counter tops, an open concept kitchen, a remodeled bathroom and a deck. There are plenty of good reasons why people opt for these features. They’re beautiful, create a certain atmosphere, and who doesn’t want to come home to a stylish kitchen and relax on their deck? But experienced homeowners will tell you, it’s not just these big showy upgrades that are important. Often, it’s the unseen upgrades you might not be immediately aware of that really make a difference and impact the quality of life in your home. It’s especially important to remind first-time homeowners of these five considerations to keep in mind when building or renovating. Privacy is key. With televisions, computers, music and lively conversation, even a small family can make a lot of noise. Bring quiet to the home with the right kind of drywall. SilentFX QuickCut by CertainTeed Gypsum is a revolutionary type of drywall specifically designed to dampen noise and prevent sound from carrying from room to room. Upgrade the roof. It might cost more, but investing in a high quality roof has two main advantages. One being, it will last longer, so you won’t have to face the expense of re-roofing in another 15 or 20 years. The second is that if you go to sell, having a high quality roof that will last years - even decades - will equate to a better resale value. Improve indoor air quality. Adding plants and opening windows are two of the easiest ways to improve the indoor air quality of your home. However, there are things you can do in the building process as well. One of these is to install a drywall, such as AirRenew, which is a specialty drywall product designed to actively clean formaldehyde and other volatile chemicals from the air. Invest in a new furnace. If you find yourself taking too many days off work to meet the furnace repairman, it might be time to have a new furnace installed. Not only do the modern, energy efficient furnaces save as much as $200 a year, but they’re quieter, require less maintenance and, should you go to sell, are a huge perk to potential home buyers. Fill the cavities between the walls. No matter what climate zone you live in, insulation is incredibly important. There are many types of insulation out there, so be sure to talk to your contractor or builder about what kind is best for the area where you live. The right kind and thickness will save you money on both heating and cooling bills. These upgrades may not wow your guests or be the envy of your neighbors, but they will certainly make an enormous difference in your day-to-day living and contribute to the overall comfort of your house.

Violets Purple tones are immediately attractive to children, making them a great paint option in playrooms or bonus rooms. Additionally, violet is also a stunning accent color in bathrooms. When it comes to the violet family of colors, Hodge likes the versatility of Veri Berri SW 9069. “Its a rich berry tone that is playful,” she says. “This would make a really dramatic accent wall color in any room; I could even see this as a really fresh front door color.”

98107 Greens Green tones provide a feeling of familiarity because they are found throughout nature. Light greens are ideal for living rooms and offices; dark greens are wonderfully rich as accent colors. Vivid greens add unexpected pop, notes SherwinWilliams Senior designer Karrie Hodge, who likes Marea Baja SW 9185. “I really like dark colors and this color reminds me of the deep turquoise part of the ocean,” she says. “This would make a great front door color on a white or gray colored house. This color would pair well with some natural stone or brick or wood.”

Oranges Orange has a friendly attitude that awakens and welcomes. Never understated, orange works well in family rooms and is a playful choice for children’s bedrooms or bonus rooms. Orange tones can also integrate into other colors, such as Coral Reef SW6606. “Ever since I was little I had a love affair with orange,” says Wadden. “I painted my daughter’s room Coral Reef. I love the rich complexity of the color.”

Reds Reds evoke feelings of passion, energy and intimacy, so it’s an excellent color for workout rooms and master bedrooms. Red also inspires the appetite, so is a logical choice for dining rooms or kitchens. Michael Plank, director of color marketing and design services for Sherwin-Williams, enjoys Chinese Red SW0057. “Chinese Red is one of my perennial favorites to play off dark stains with its saturated and sophisticated nature,” he says. “Rich in hue as it is in Chinese culture; the harbinger of joy and fortune.”

Blues Blue is soothing and elicits feelings of relaxation, which is perfect for bedrooms and bathrooms. Alternatively, blues should be kept out of the kitchen because it’s a color that’s associated with appetite suppression. “I love cool greenish blues,” says Plank. “Blue Sky 0063 is from our historic palette and is a calming hue that works in virtually every room.”

Yellows Because yellow reflects light, it’s an excellent choice for foyers and dark hallways. Its cheery nature has the ability to create an uplifting mood in homes. Rich yellows are great accent colors because they catch the eye. A great color to consider is Wadden’s favorite: Butterscotch SW 6377. “This color isn’t for the faint of heart,” she says. “The color features an acidy, deep mustard feel but is a great accent color paired with neutrals. I find its pop can really spark up a room.”

Cool color families Blue, green and violet are considered cool colors because the inherent tones of each shade. Reminiscent of water and the outdoors, cool colors stimulate feelings of peace and tranquility, and are great options for bedrooms, bathrooms and patio spaces.

98136

Warm color families Red, orange and yellow are considered warm colors since they are associated with images of heat, like fire or sunshine. Warm families of color are bold and powerful when incorporated into home design.

proposal would set the minimum requirement at 3,200 square feet. There are 131,502 single family homes in the City of Seattle according to CW Title and Escrow. Under O’Brien’s proposal, 122,750 would potentially be able to add two dwelling units (an ADU and a DADU) to an existing property containing one home, or knock down the existing home and build three dwelling units. In addition to these changes, O’Brien’s proposal would remove on-site parking requirements, increase height restrictions, and loosen requirements for owner occupancy. The City of Seattle has determined these and the other proposed changes would have no environmental impacts and therefore not

require the professional review or public hearing process of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). That decision prompted members the Queen Anne Community Council to file an appeal urging the City to delay any action on the proposed legislation until an EIS is prepared and given public review. Hearings on the appeal were held last week and will resume September 30. The hearing examiner will then issue a decision within 15 days. Architect Martin Kaplan, who wrote the appeal on behalf of the Queen Anne Community Council, says his goal is greater public involvement: “We all agree we need to increase density to accommodate Seattle’s growth, but we need to approach this in an informed, transparent, unbiased, and inclusive way so

that every neighborhood and citizen knows exactly what the real impacts are and be able to share their voice in reviewing specific data-driven impacts to their communities; resulting in policies that respect the individual nature and uniqueness of each of our neighborhoods.” If you are interested in learning more or sharing your thoughts about this issue you can get information from www. queenanneappeal.org, or visit the Seattle City Council website of Mike O’Brien www.seattle.gov/ council/obrien Kim Wesselman is Managing Broker at Windermere Real Estate.
