just for tropical climates,” she says. And, assuming you’re ready for a little bit of summer in your place, here are Lindroth’s rules for doing wicker right. Forget grandma’s condo. Wicker, Lindroth admits, “kind of had a slippery slope for a while in Florida, where every town had a whole store full of bad wicker furniture.” This might have been the era in which a certain Florida condo you visited was decorated. “We’re talking full five-piece matching sets, right down to matching wicker end tables and dressers,” says Lindroth. “There was just too much of it. Everybody had to take a breather from bad wicker for a while.” This is not the wicker you’re
looking for – the key thing, as with most decorating, is to steer away from a matched set of most anything, and instead buy the one eye-catching piece that you love. Yes, you can leave it outside. This is the age-old question about wicker patio furniture – can it really stand up to porch or patio use? Lindroth says yes, providing you are willing to lower your standards and wield a can of spray paint. “You generally buy wicker in its natural color, and if you leave it out on the porch too long, it goes a little funny; it gets ratty. So everybody just gives in and takes it out to the garage and sprays it with a coat of blue paint or whatever color you choose. I like really
dark colors, like black.” If you’re not ready to paint, just embrace the wear; Lindroth avoids buying the plastic stuff. “It just makes me sad.” Besides, “having been decorating on islands for the last 30 years,” says Lindroth, “I can tell you that a broken-down piece of wicker is a treasure.” You will want to bring it inside. “I have woven furniture in almost every room I design,” says Lindroth, who knows that adding textural wicker or rattan to the mix gives a room a touch of nature and “the sense that something is handmade. I always want my interiors to look handmade.” Wicker has a lot of historical heft – it’s an ancient form
(King Tut had wicker furniture) that brings an imperfect quality to your mix, even if you just add one wicker chair to the living room. And some baskets. And there was that rattan-framed mirror you spotted. You should check the thrift store. Luckily, wicker is one of the easiest finds to score in thrift and vintage stores, so be sure to shop around. Lindroth’s Palm Beach apartment was featured in House Beautiful, with four pedi-
greed wicker chairs that she snagged from a local thrift store – she didn’t even recover the cushions. “Those were very expensive chairs,” she says, “and I would never have had them otherwise.” Though she shops high-end wicker pieces for clients, good finds are everywhere when it comes to wicker, she says. “I have used the Ikea Agen chair (which retails for $80) probably 1,000 times in my career.” In fact, she has them in her home right now.

An unpleasant side effect from all our rain will be an explosion in our weed growth. This is especially true in vegetable gardens and ornamental beds where the exposed soil is too wet to cultivate. The calls and damaged plant samples that typically come into the Extension after weather like this serve as a somber reminder for the need to take care with weed control products, especially those designed to control broad leaf weeds. The majority of broad leaf weed control products contain 2,4-D (Dimethylamine salt of 2,4-D-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) or a closely related chemical. This active ingredient is found in hundreds of different products and can come in both liquid or granular forms. When used properly in accordance with the label instructions, this product does a great job at controlling most broad leaf weeds. The bad news is it is equally as effective at killing many of our desirable plants with tomatoes, potatoes,

Zillow faces legal action over its co-marketing program WASHINGTON – Zillow is back in hot water: A class-action suit against the online realty giant is moving forward after insider whistleblowers alleged that the company designed its controversial “co-marketing” program to violate federal anti-kickback laws. Zillow termed the charges “without merit” and says it intends to “vigorously defend” itself. Best known to the general public for its Zestimates property-valuation feature, Zillow is a multibillion dollar, publicly traded behemoth whose principal revenues come from advertising placed by realty agents. So-called “premier” agents and brokers, who receive prominent placement on Zillow-listed home sites, pay hundreds or thousands of dollars a month in advertising fees to the company. Premier agents need not be the highest volume or most successful agents in their area; they simply need to pay for the label. According to the company’s latest SEC filing, it earned nearly $900 million – two-thirds of its corporate revenue – in fees from agents paying for ads last year. In 2013, Zillow rolled out a program whereby realty agents could have large portions of their advertising fees paid for by lenders

ford to repaint once or even twice a year. To save money and avoid the hassle of repainting on a semi-regular basis, the rest of us need to buy top-quality paint that won’t flake or fade quickly. Another money-saving tip: Start by purchasing only a pint of the color that you like, rather than a gallon or two. My buddy, who runs the paint department at a home-improvement store, estimates that one out of every four or five customers he helps come back a week or two later and wants to get a different color because they started the job but didn’t like the hue that they originally purchased. “They wasted a lot of time, and we usually can’t refund the cost of a can that has already been opened or required us to mix two or more colors,” he says. If it helps, the three top kinds of paint that got the best overall score by testers at Consumer Reports magazine all were made by Behr

Some agents tell their buyers to attach a heartfelt letter to their purchase offer, but others say that it can do more harm than good. DEAR MR. MYERS: The housing market in our area is still pretty strong. We made a full-price offer to buy a new house, but two similar offers have also been made. To bolster our chances of being the winning buyers, our realty agent suggests that we write a “personal offer letter” that explains a little about our family and how well we would take care of the seller’s home if our offer was accepted. Do you think that is truly necessary? ANSWER: Frankly, no. I wrote about this issue a few years ago, when the nation’s housing market was even hotter and many agents were touting such letters as an important tool that could give one buyer’s offer an edge over others. A personal offer letter can include any and all sorts of information, but most have one goal in common: to tug on the sellers’ heartstrings and make them feel that the letter-writing buyer is more worthy to get the house than other bidders.
