Why it matters. by Rob Higgins, Executive Officer Spokane Association of REALTORS®
It takes hard work and practice to be good at something. There is a big difference, for example, between a piano player and a pianist or a violin player and a violinist. Likewise, there is a big difference between a real estate agent and a REALTOR®.
It is the responsibility of the Spokane Association of REALTORS® (itself 102 years old), to enforce the REALTOR® Code of Ethics among its members. We, and REALTOR® associations across the country, have been doing this since 1923.
This year marks a good year for me to make my point since 2013 is the centennial of the REALTOR® Code of Ethics – one of the reasons why it matters to work with a REALTOR® in your real estate transactions.
Proudly, the Ethics Committee declares, in 1924, that the “jazz and joyride stage of realty operations has had its day. It is the business of REALTORS® to see that the new era of service to the individual and civic responsibility has come to stay.”
The REALTOR® Code of Ethics traces its roots back to 1858 when the first formal ethical rules for real estate professionals were written into the bylaws of the Baltimore Board of Real Estate Brokers and Property Agents. There were two rules which, simply, discouraged members from stealing one another’s listings. The national conversation on real estate ethics gets serious in 1908 with the founding of the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges in Chicago – the organization now known as the National Association of REALTORS®. In 1910, the national association splits this conversation into two parts: the broker’s duty to his clients and the broker’s duty to his fellow brokers – both based on the Golden Rule (“Do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you.”). In 1913, the Code of Ethics committee submits its proposal for a national Code of Ethics at the association’s third annual convention – the document we know today as the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. The pioneers of our profession are strong supporters and enforcers of ethics. In 1916, the association adopts the term “REALTOR®” to distinguish members who abide by the Code of Ethics from “curbstoners,” or unethical real estate dealers – a distinction my colleagues and I continue to make today.
This history becomes relevant every time a REALTOR® helps a client close a deal. Every REALTOR® must – under the eyes of client, colleague and community – behave in strict accordance with the REALTOR® Code of Ethics and successfully complete Code of Ethics training every four years. Since April is National Fair Housing month, this is a good time for me to share that the REALTOR® Code of Ethics has demanded “equal professional services to all persons regardless of race, creed, sex or country of national origin” since 1955 – nearly a decade before these ideals become national law through the Civil Rights Act of 1964. So, when next you wish to buy or sell a property, consider the long-held tradition of ethics among professional real estate men and women – those who use the Blue R and the title REALTOR® - for it is they who embody the Golden Rule in real estate today and represent your best choice as partner in buying or selling your home.

Taunton Press / “New Kitchen Ideas That Work”

coatings fused to a substrate – a natural, earth-derived material such as stone – or with heat and pressure. They offer a wide range of options for colors. Thermofoil, by definition, is a laminate but not a high-pressure laminate. Generally, it consists of flexible vinyl applied to engineered wood. It comes in a rainbow of luminous colors (apple green, cherry red, wine red, orange, yellow, cobalt); offers a high-quality sheen on an easy-care, chip-resistant surface; and may incorporate metallic elements in its finish, like the paint on a sporty car. Thermofoil cupboards “offer a glossy look that’s more affordable than a painted finish, and it’s reasonably durable,” says San Diego, Calif.-based kitchen and bath designer Jamie Gold, author of “New Kitchen Ideas That Work” (Taunton Press, 2012). High-gloss paint is another option, though it’s not widely available straight from manufacturers. It’s possible to refinish wood cabinets with high-gloss
April/May, 2013 7
In fact, lacquering may even be beyond the skills and equipment of home improvement professionals, Gold says:“You get a better finish from the factory because they have equipment and systems in place to control the multistep lacquer process.” Lacquering results in a harder finish, which Williamson likens to the coating on the M&M shell, whereas high-gloss paint is more like a malleable Skittles shell. Besides the expense, lacquering has drawbacks.“It makes for a gorgeous, deep, rich, lustrous finish, but if it gets damaged, you have to replace the whole cabinet door – you can’t just touch up something that shiny,” Gold says.“In a busy household where kids are banging into things, it may not be the best option.” With laminate or thermofoil,“You can get a very similar high-gloss look for less, and it’s more practical,” she adds. In recent years, sleek white kitchen
HIGH-CLASS,HIGH-GLOSS The new shining star of the kitchen is high-gloss cabinetry. From lacquer to laminates to paint, these finishes add a stylish flair to any space BY DAWN KLINGENSMITH CTW FEATURES
A
fter shunning them for years in favor of wood and wood veneer, homeowners have fallen in love again with laminate kitchen cabinets – not the kind that look like wood, but a new generation of gleaming laminates with a high-gloss finish. It’s not just glossy laminates that folks have taken a shine to. Sleek, shiny cabinets are all the rage, from lower-priced laminates to high-end lacquered finishes that impart a modern or retro look, depending on the styling.
Lacquer in particular “has more of a glamorous look to it, and people are warming up to it,” says Elaine Williamson, principal, Elaine Williamson Designs, Dallas. The trend is consistent with a “return to elegance” in interior design as a whole, she adds:“People still want clean, tight design but with a little bit of pomp and circumstance, and that’s what lacquering does.” Homebuyers and remodelers have three main choices for glossy cabinetry: laminate or thermofoil, high-gloss painted wood or lacquered wood. Laminates are thin, layered plastic
paint, but it takes a lot of work to achieve a glass-like sheen.“For the best result, you need an oil-based paint, and it needs to be spray-applied, not brushed on, or else you’re likely to see brush strokes,” says Joseph Irons, president, Irons Brothers Construction, Shoreline, Wash. The prep work is time-consuming because any scratches and imperfections that aren’t properly mended will be magnified by the glossy finish. And if painting over wood, the grain might show through, Williamson warns. Sanding, priming and several thin coats of paint are required for a smooth finish. A capable do-it-yourselfer can refinish cupboards using high-gloss paint; however, lacquering is “an art better left to the pros,” Williamson says.
cabinetry, with or without a glossy finish, has been a dominant trend in modern kitchen design. In glossy finishes,“white is definitely the hottest color, but I’m also seeing some red and different shades of relaxing blue tones,” Gold says. On the bolder side, malachite green may surpass apple green in popularity, Williamson says. No matter the color, glossy cabinetry catches the eye as well as the light.“It makes a statement,” Williamson says, “but a clean, refined statement.” © CTW Features

Less-Thirsty Lawns Planting native grasses, hardscaping and smart watering are just a few eco-friendly lawncare tips and landscaping ideas that ensure you’ll save water – and time – this summer Maintaining a manicured lawn example, a short prairie grass keeping it to two-and-a-half to three The Grass Isn’t Greener canFor –mowing, watering, fertilizing – work in hot, dry inches.” can quickly monopolize precious summer time. Why not consider the alternatives? Whether you want to be savvier with your resources or eliminate the monotonous patch of green altogether, here are the top tips for achieving a low-maintenance lawn.
Smart Lawn Care If you’re not ready to give up your grass, make sure you’re caring for it efficiently. One of the biggest mistakes people make is cutting their lawn the wrong height, says Bob Malgieri, manager of lawn care and tree shrub division at Borst Landscape and Design in Allendale, N.J. “Mainly they cut it too short,” he says. “When it’s cut too short, the root system and soil are exposed to the sun. You get more weeds and the lawn basically just doesn’t do well, as opposed to
To effectively hydrate a lawn, the water must be absorbed by the grass root system. Frequent, shallow waterings are not effective, and watering during the daytime when the sunlight can evaporate the water can waste a lot of the precious resource. Malgieri recommends an irrigation system for the best results. “You’ll never be able to water well by hand and get it consistently throughout the lawn,” Malgieri says. Irrigation systems deliver a controlled amount of water that ensures coverage across the entire lawn. Another big mistake is to overfertilize the lawn. Simply leaving clippings on the lawn is a great way to naturally fertilize grass. “It’s the most organic thing you can do, as long as you have a mower that mulches the clippings,” Malgieri says. “There are a lot of nutrients in those clippings. You’re actually feeding your lawn as you’re cutting it.”
If you really want to cut down on the time and water your lawn requires, consider eliminating some of your yard’s traditional grass and replacing it with native plants or hardscaping. Consider adding a patio, which will be useful even in winter in cold climes. “There are a lot of opportunities to have a beautiful landscape that meets your idea of beauty in a much more eco-friendly manner,” says gardening expert and author Melinda Myers. Planting a heartier native species instead of grass can cut down the amount of mowing and watering you lavish on your lawn. It’s better to find species that are slower-growing. Those are species that are labeled ‘no-mow’ or ‘lowgrowing’ species. They don’t need as much mowing because they don’t grow as quickly. Those species also cut down on things like fertilizer because they prefer an environment that’s not as rich.
conditions, and sedge will flourish in shady spots. Be sure to check with a local nursery to find out which plants will suit your environment. Incorporating new and diverse plants will give your yard new color and texture.
Quick Tips If you’re not ready to replace your lawn, start small. Widening a garden, planting ground cover underneath a tree, or even replacing grass on a tricky slope or hillside will cut down on mowing and watering. People should look at the places where you only go to mow. Converting them can decrease your workload and also give your yard ecological function.”

All About Ombré Color gradient pattern continues its style takeover – the walls, furniture and accessories in your home are the next target
says. “If the colors are next in the spectrum, say, red next to purple, it can work beautifully, but I wouldn’t do complimentary colors as it gets very distracting.” However, it takes a lot of skill (or a trained professional) to apply the specialty treatment of dip and dye on the walls, Peris says. “It can be pricey, but I see homeowners embracing the trend more on home accessories.”
Dip-dyed ombré hair has taken over celebrity and style magazines for the better part of a year, and this increasingly popular pattern made a quick jump to clothing, nails and much more – including home décor. Now, ombré generally refers to the pattern where one color gradually shades into another, creating a gradient. Those looking for a subtle ombré usually stick with the same color, moving from light to dark, architectural color consultant Rachel Peris says. Based in San Andreas, Calif., Peris recommends ombré pattern for her clients’ walls when they are looking for something different. “I definitely think that the trend is up and coming,” she says. It’s important to choose the right colors, she warns. Stay in the same color family, with “cool” blues and greens or “warm” burgundy, saffron and olive, Peris
On the more affordable end, this centuries-old technique of dyeing is used on textiles like frill blankets, throw pillows, floor rugs and upholstered furnishings. And the love for ombré has extended past its dye-based roots. Designers are using paint or other color techniques to recreate the pattern on non-fabric items, like mosaic tiles or wooden spoons. “People take a lot of interest in ombrédesign furniture such as chests, tables and chairs,” says Sara Cukerbaum, principal designer at SLIC Interiors, Austin, Texas. The ombré pattern creates a distinct, dynamic look. “When I think of ombré, I always think of an odd 60s vibe,” says Christine Phillips, blogger and interior designer at Viola PR and Design Limited, Kohler, Wis.
But, be careful to not go overboard. “If it’s misused, like anything, it can throw a bad monkey wrench into [design]. I think people shouldn’t shy away just because they don’t know how to use it. It’s like a very unique Indian spice,” Phillips says. “But, the key is not to do too much ombré on too many pieces and get carried away,” Cukerbaum adds.

Refresh Your Furniture Give a shabby or boring old piece of wood furniture a high-style, low-cost makeover
It takes more than just a fresh coat of paint to turn an old piece of furniture into a knockout. But with a bit of creative planning, design experts say, anyone can achieve that “wow” look. “It’s about creating a piece of art, a piece of character that people are going to design a room around… creating something they’re going to want to live with for a long time,” says Barb Blair, founder of Knack Studios, a furniture design business in Greenville, South Carolina, and author of the book “Furniture Makeovers.” The key lies in the details. Here are a few important ones to consider:
Bold color
High gloss finish
“To make an old piece look modern and fun, you have to pick an unusual color,” says Jill Sorensen, an interior designer and founder of Virginia-based firm Marmalade Interiors. “For a dresser, you might want to go with turquoise, or purple, or emerald green. Then it will stand out.” A person leery about going bold all over could opt to add touches of color instead, to places like the inside of a bookcase or cabinets.
It’s one of the easiest ways to make an old desk or chair look shiny and new. Sorensen suggests modernizing a piece by painting it white or black, then adding the gloss finish.
Decorative paper Blair says she always lines her drawers with vintage wallpaper or wrapping paper sheets, which she coordinates with the hardware. “The details are so important,” she says. “If it was just a brown drawer, that’s boring.”
Fresh hardware Simply changing the hardware on furniture can have a dramatic effect, Blair says. “Most of the time, the original brass hardware keeps a piece dated,” she says. “There are so many kinds of hardware out there – ceramic, bone, wood, glass… it’s the jewelry of your furniture.”
