A RETURN TO THE GLAMOUR OF GOLD

TD-0000237970

Gold is back. The metal has been on the decorative outs for a couple of decades, but it’s making return to home decor — this time in a burnished, warmer form. Gold and other yellow metallics are showing up in furniture, lighting, even fabrics and wall coverings. See the story, Page 4.


Well pump, not smart meter, caused higher bill Small leak made big difference

By Alan J. Heavens The Philadelphia Inquirer

At long last, there is an answer to why a reader’s newly installed “smart meter” reported normal usage for one or two days, then surged for the next day or two — following no

particular pattern. Oddly enough, the answer came to me the week after I first published the reader’s inquiry, but until the investigation was completed, I didn’t know that it was correct. “We have since found out that we had a leak in our well,” the reader writes. “Who would have thought that the well

running.” The correct answer, by the way, was submitted by Charles Ulmann of West Chester, Pa., who was my sophomore-year college roommate, and, obviously, still as sharp as a tack. Question: My hardwood floor seems to be warping on opposite ends. I can see it and feel it when I step on it. Since I was going to

pump running 24 hours a day could almost double our electric usage?” Since the website is still not showing accurate usage, the reader is waiting for her next bill to see the difference, “but I’ve been told by a Peco representative that usage has gone from 45 to 48 kilowatt-hours per day to under 30 per day, and that’s with the air conditioner

Code of Ethics Centennial

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics. Its Preamble begins: Under all is the land. Upon its wise utilization and widely allocated ownership depend the Rae Roeder, survival and growth of CRS, e-PRO, GRI, SFR, SRES free institutions and of our Rae Roeder Realty civilization. REALTORS® should recognize that the interests of the nation and its citizens require the highest and best use of the land and the widest distribution of land ownership. They require the creation of adequate housing, the building of functioning cities, the development of productive industries and farms, and the preservation of a healthful environment. Such interests impose obligations beyond those of ordinary commerce. They impose grave social responsibility and a patriotic duty to which REALTORS® should dedicate themselves, and for which they should be diligent in preparing themselves. REALTORS®, therefore, are zealous to maintain and improve the standards of their calling and share with their fellow REALTORS® a common responsibility for its integrity and honor.

Skipping toward the end of the Preamble, it states: In the interpretation of this obligation REALTORS® can take no safer guide than that which has been handed down through the centuries, embodied in the Golden Rule, “Whatsoever ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them.”

What follows are 14 Articles, from Duties to Clients and Customers through Duties to REALTORS®. Each article states an obligation and is followed by multiple explanatory Standards of Practice. For example, Standard of Practice 1.3 says: REALTORS®, in attempting to secure a listing, shall not deliberately mislead the owner as to the market value. These articles may seem like common sense, but taken as a whole impose a duty on REALTORS® to act in the best interest of the general public and to uphold the image of the profession. The complete Code of Ethics Preamble and all 14 articles can be found at www.TBRnet.org under “About,” and while not the most entertaining reading material, it should give you a level of confidence when you look to buy or sell real estate. They are the rules we live by, and I am proud to belong to an organization that sets such high standards for our members.

have them refinished anyway, I called for a couple of estimates. The first contractor said it was called cupping, caused by some type of moisture. He said it would come out after refinishing. The second one said it would go away in a few months, and refinishing would have to wait until then. How can I find out if there is moisture underneath? Answer: I think the first contractor is correct in his analysis of the problem, but believe that the source of the moisture needs to be identified before you spend the money to refinish those floors. The second contractor is, in a sense, also correct if he is suggesting that the common cause of cupping — high relative humidity — is the reason for the problem. Floors are cupped when wood curls up and the edges of the board are higher than its center. When I find that lumber I’m using in a woodworking project is slightly cupped because it was not dried completely, I run it through my thickness planer to see if I can solve the problem. Obviously, you can’t do that with a floor that already has been installed unless, as you refinish it, you sand the cupped portions even with the rest, which is what the first contractor is suggesting, or so it seems. Yet, what caused the cupping in the first place? I assume the contractor believes that there might have been a moisture issue causing the cupping, and that somehow it has gone away, and all he needs to do to correct the problem is to sand it evenly. The second contractor, on the other hand, believes the moisture problem hasn’t yet done its worst, so he wants to wait

until it is no longer an issue, and then sand the floors evenly, eliminating the cupping. It is very difficult for someone not having seen the situation firsthand to reach a conclusion. If the floors were installed when the relative humidity was low, they could cup when it was high. Unfortunately, they won’t “uncup” if the humidity drops, so sanding the floors evenly would be the obvious fix. If the moisture causing the cupping is, say, from a leaking pipe or sweating ductwork in the basement beneath the floor, no amount of sanding will fix the problem permanently. Have a plumber take a look. If the room gets damper in warmer months but is dry in colder months, then you’ll have to look into ways of getting a consistent relative humidity that won’t cause warping. Flooring manufacturers recommend maintaining indoor temperatures between 55 and 75 degrees and indoor relative humidity between 35 percent and 50 percent year round. You’ll need to figure this out.

A gold rush is on in home decor Color’s use adds glamour, glimmer

By Mary Beth Breckenridge Akron Beacon Journal

Designers are once again going for gold. The metal has been on the decorative outs for a couple of decades, but it’s making its way back into home decor — this time in a burnished, warmer form. Gold and other yellow metallics are showing up in furniture, lighting, even fabrics and wall coverings. They bring a little glimmer to a room, a little understated glamour. This isn’t some ornate casbah look or a return to staid Colonial style, however. Today’s gold metals are soft and subdued, often with the complex look of handcrafting. Doty Horn, who runs the color marketing firm ColorVoyant in Holicong, Pa., thinks gold’s resurgence is tied to the economic recovery, but not because of its association with money. Gold is in the yellow family, which she said is a happy, positive color. “It’s a sign of optimism,” she said. Rose gold is especially popular now, Horn said, its pinkish hue adding complexity without the hardness and rustiness of copper. Brass is coming back, too, although in a lower-luster finish. Indeed, “the finish really is key,” she said. Shiny gold is out. Gold with a more complex, matte finish is in. The reappearance of gold is also an indication of the renewed popularity of traditional design, albeit with a fresher, more modern twist, said Jennifer McConnell, vice president of design for furniture maker Pearson Co.

Chella Textile’s Facet, Medallion and Quicksilver outdoor fabrics are woven with metallic yarns for a hint of glitz. The polyolefin fabrics are made from recycled materials and can be used both indoors and out. MCT

McConnell likes adding little gold accents to furniture pieces – maybe a gold-leafed stretcher on a bench or antique brass ferrules on the tips of a chair’s legs. Nailhead trim in gold metals is starting to replace chrome, she said, and gold leaf is popular on accent tables as a way of adding just a bit of glitz to a room. Even shiny brass has its place in the gold comeback, although McConnell tends to use it in small doses and often in combination with antique brass so it doesn’t look dated. Her company introduced a modern cabinet last season with an ivory shagreen front and an Art Deco starburst motif inlaid with gold leaf, as well as some polished brass accents. “You would never in a million years think Williamsburg,” she said. Nor would dated colonial decor come to mind from some of the pieces being offered by trendsetter Baker Furniture. Baker’s use of gold

runs the gamut from subtle touches such as the handle on the back of a chair to eye-catching details such as the carved, gold-leafed doors on a chest. And “sometimes a room needs a showstopper — that one piece that catches everyone’s eye,” James Nauyok, Baker’s vice president for product development and visual display, said in an email. Gold gives a piece like that its drama. Brad Kleinberg, president of chandelier maker Crystorama, said the new gold appeals mainly to younger consumers with a keen interest in style. With the economy strengthening, those consumers are feeling freer to be more fashion-forward in their home design choices, he said. So they’re throwing off safe choices like chrome and satin nickel and reaching for something with a little elegance and bling, something a little more cuttingedge.

4 » SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 » TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT

Crystorama specializes in updating traditional lighting designs, so Kleinberg said it’s using a lot of multi-layered finishes to give its gold chandeliers the hand-worked look that’s on trend now. Those finishes often start with a layer of gold leaf and sometimes have a little silver in them, he said. Some even have a sandlike texture. This contemporary take on gold may be complex, but it’s hardly fussy. That sets it apart from the older uses of gold, which tended to be more ornate, interior designer Christine Haught said. Haught said she recently removed some elaborate French candelabras that had decorated her own fireplace mantel for years, because she’d grown tired of them and wanted a more streamlined look. But she could imagine incorporating gold into a room in a simpler shape, perhaps in a small piece like a side table or in combination with

The complex gold finish on Crystorama’s Garland chandelier brings an updated look to a traditional shape. MCT

other metals. Gold and other metals bring an ethereal, almost magical quality to a space, she said. “They’re the jewelry of design.” And as such, they’re best used judiciously. Pearson’s McConnell, for example, likes the idea of bringing gold in via accents. A sofa upholstered in linen, for example, could be updated with throw pillows made from a fabric shot through with gold metallic threads. Or a bathroom could be up-

dated by replacing the cabinet pulls and faucet with brass or bronze. Color consultant Horn thinks such restraint is wise. “The gold metallic (trend) is kind of a flash,” Horn said – fine for items that can be changed easily, but not for more permanent elements such as flooring or wallcoverings. She might put wallcovering with gold details on an accent wall, she said, but she wouldn’t paper an entire room in it.


A glass act: Artists, craftsmen create beautiful decor Stained, mirrored pieces stand out

By Kim Cook Associated Press

When silica, soda and lime meet high heat, a beautiful alchemy occurs. The result — a taffylike substance otherwise known as glass — has inspired creative minds for centuries. Artists and craftsmen today often combine oldschool techniques with new technology to create one-of-a-kind works of arts for the home. Internationally known sculptor Dale Chihuly, based in Tacoma, Wash., has drawn crowds to a variety of public spaces with his outdoor “glass garden” installations of imaginative, other-worldly creations. (www.chihuly.com) You can find some of his smaller pieces — glass baskets, wall art and table sculptures — at www.artnet.com. In her Detroit studio, Nina Cambron fuses opaque, translucent and iridescent glass into wall panels resembling totems. The enduring quality of glass as an artistic medium is what drew her to it, she says. “It’s just so rich, smooth, shiny and permanent,” she says. “Unlike painting or drawing, you can’t erase and rework an area. After it’s fired, you’re done.” (www.ninacambron.com) Gale Scott, a glass artist based in Worcester, Mass., uses a technique called “electroforming” that involves blowing glass into copper forms. The hot, soft glass meets the rigid metal and billows into ethereal shapes. (www.galescott.com) New Yorker Peter Byrum displayed his paintings on glass at May’s International Contemporary Furniture Fair in

Manhattan. Using acrylics, he paints natural elements like leaf fronds and coral on layered sheets of tempered glass, sometimes half a dozen or more. The effect is threedimensional, an organic, ephemeral diorama. (www.peterbynum.com) Thor and Jennifer Bueno of Spruce Pine, N.C., are inspired by nature, and form hot glass into shapes evoking water-washed rocks or molecular structures. “Walking along a river, light bounces across the water’s surface,” says Jennifer Bueno. Each sculpture is made by blowing and shaping molten glass into “pebbles.” The colors come from adding glass shards or powders. The piece is then baked to hardness, sandblasted and given a protective luster; the result looks remarkably like a rock scoured by the action of a swift current over time. In another series, the pebble shapes are made out of the mirrored material known as mercury glass. “In its liquid state, glass glows with intense heat and moves slowly, as if self-propelled,” notes Bueno. “Mercury glass has the appearance of liquid metal, undulating and three-dimensional.” The finished glass resembles electrons, particles, even sound waves. (www.buenoglass.com) At Wayfair.com, you’ll find photographs printed on the back of glass panels from Platin Art. Bamboo stems, flowers, and black and white city skylines seem to float, making for arresting wall art, particularly for large expanses of wall space. (www.wayfair.com) At LaylaGrayce.com, the Worlds Away Marina Ice Glass collection of furniture has a Hollywood Regency vibe, cool and elegant. Nightstands,

chests and other pieces are clad in a milky, translucent glass. (www.laylagrayce.com) If you’re interested in acquiring art glass, ArtfulHome.com has an extensive collection from North American artists at a range of prices. (www.artfulhome.com) If stained glass intrigues you, there are tutorials on YouTube. Del-

Weekly Report to Housing Consumers From the Tallahassee Builders Association

201 East Park Avenue, Tallahassee, FL 32301 | (850) 385-1414 | www.tallyba.com

“Choose Tallahassee” Can Boost Local Housing Market When it comes to enticing Baby Boomers to a retirement destination, Tallahassee literally has it all. A beautiful climate (it’s snowed just seven times here in recorded history), abundant recreational amenities, and the educational, entertainment and cultural benefits provided by two great universities and one of the best community colleges in the nation. And, now, thanks to an organization known as “Choose Tallahassee,” our message will be exposed to Baby Boomers through a national advertising and marketing campaign that, if successful, can only bolster an already-rebounding local housing market. Members of the Tallahassee Builders Association (TBA) heard the inside story of Choose Tallahassee last week from Dave Bruns, Communications Manager of AARP-Florida and one of the initiative’s key leaders, who spoke at our August general membership meeting. Bruns said that Baby Boomers retiring to Tallahassee will need a wide range of housing, from custom homes to smaller structures with built-in safety and accessibility features. “There is no single profile of the Baby Boomer Dave Bruns of AAAP-Florida believes has all the amenities and no single Tallahassee to cash in on the multi-billion housing type will economic impact of retirees. meet the need,” said Bruns. The timing of the Choose Tallahassee program may be perfect for

Tallahassee-area builders and remodelers. Many builders are already constructing accessible homes smaller with yards and lowermaintenance requirements ideal for seniors.

“Builders and developers for the 55+ housing sector are feeling optimistic as they are seeing more consumers return to the marketplace,” said Robert Karen, chairman of NAHB’s 50+ Housing Council. “With existing home prices rising, consumers are able to sell their current homes and make the move toward either purchasing a home or renting an apartment that is designed to more specifically suit their lifestyle.”

In addition, 25 TBA members have now earned the Certified-Aging“The 55+ HMI for in-Place Specialist single-family homes (CAPS) designation almost doubled from the National from a year ago,” Association of Home Thousands of seniors will make Tallahassee their retirement Builders (NAHB), destination said NAHB Chief if the “Choose Tallahassee” initiative is successful. meaning they have Economist David special expertise in working with older Crowe. “Sentiment in other segments of adults on their unique housing needs. the 55+ market housing was strong as Tallahassee could easily become a well. This is consistent with the increase vibrant 55+ housing market, adding in builder confidence we’ve seen in other momentum to a nationwide trend. Builder NAHB surveys recently.

Even a small space can become a thriving garden spot Bring color, life to your unused yard By Kathy Van Mullekom Daily Press – Newport News, Va.

The challenge: Redo a narrow strip of lackluster land between neighbors. The result: A thriving garden with an entry and private outdoor living space. Recently, Marilyn and Bill Geib took on the project at their home in Williamsburg, Va. Inspired by visits to gardens in Charleston, S.C., Italy and Colonial Williamsburg, they wanted something more than just a row of Leyland cypress separat-

ing their small lot from the house next door. “This was a relatively unique project in that it encompassed a small space with a towering nondescript neighboring wall,” says Bill. “The 35foot-tall Leyland cypresses engulfed the space and the resulting shade proved difficult to cultivate.” The Geibs purchased their home, placed on the lot so the front is perpendicular to the street, about nine years ago. They had an 18-by-60-foot space to work with — dimensions similar to the favorite gardens they saw on their travels. When they moved in, the cypresses were rel-

The finished project shows that the once unused yard is now an intimate garden. COURTESY OF BILL GEIB/MCT

atively small and cute, but those cuties grew into giants that kept growing. “Two years ago we be-

gan to explore possibilities for a new landscape plan that would give back our yard and also create a

sitting area that would allow us to enjoy the outdoors,” Bill said. First, they worked with architect Tom Tingle of Guernsey Tingle Architects in Williamsburg to design a trellis-like feature that would become the background for the new outdoor room. Next, they collaborated with landscape designer Barbara Schuler to create a garden with an Italian feel. A fountainhead of Neptune found at an antique store was used as a centerpiece for the sitting area. Last spring, the cypress came down, stumps were ground and the soil was prepared. During the

Your “Work Order Policy” and the Law

TD-0000238174

by Harry Anthony Heist, Attorney at Law

Most companies have a written policy under which the tenant is instructed to put all work orders for repairs in writing. No work order, no repair. In a typical situation though, your maintenance person is verbally notified of a repair need while on the property. The most common response by your maintenance person is “You need to go to the office and put in a work order” The maintenance person then goes about his or her day doing the normal repairs and maintenance on the property and following the work orders that have been provided by the office. In other words, the maintenance person is doing the jobs as dictated by the office and office policies. The tenant who gave verbal notice is ignored. Your Company “Work Order Policy” A typical company policy as outlined in the lease or the Resident Manual dealing with repair requests states that in the event a repair needs to be done in a unit or there is some sort of a problem that needs attention, the tenant is to come to the office and fill out a work order request. There are obvious reasons for this type of policy, as it documents the work order, alerts management and maintenance to the problem, provides evidence why and when maintenance entered an apartment, and establishes that all important paper trail which we are always recommending be created. Generally, if a tenant fails to put in a written work order, maintenance staff will not voluntarily go out to the unit until such time as the work order is in place, unless a true emergency exists. The Reality of the Tenant’s Expectations The tenant sees Mike the maintenance person driving the golf cart, flags him down and notifies him that the A/C is not cooling properly. Although Mike tells the tenant that she needs to put in a written work order, the tenant expects this to be a mere formality and that Mike will be out nonetheless as soon as possible to fix the problem. Mike, following company policy, fails to go out. A few days go by, and then the tenant calls the office, wondering why the A/C is not being fixed. As far as the tenant is concerned, she put management, through Mike, on notice of a repair need, and Mike did not make the repair. The tenant now begins the process of trying to break their lease, withhold rent or completely bad mouthing the property, plastering notices on every resident’s door.

8 » SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013 » TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT

Is the Tenant Correct? Most property managers will feel that the tenant is completely wrong, as the tenant did not follow company policy or procedure. The tenant did not put the work order in writing; therefore, the company is off the hook as far as the property manager is concerned. The tenant withholds rent, breaks the lease or somehow the situation ends up in court. At court, the tenant will testify that she told Mike the maintenance person that a repair was necessary and Mike failed to make the repair. You and Mike will then tell the judge that the tenant never put in a written work order, and that is why the repair was not made. Now for the tough questions. The judge may ask you or maintenance whether the tenant did in fact notify Mike that a repair was needed. If Mike answers “yes,” which he would have to do if he were telling the truth, the judge will not be happy with Mike or management. Possibly the tenant was justified in withholding rent or breaking the lease. While we all know that a tenant is required to give a landlord 7 days written notice if they intend to withhold rent or break a lease, some judges will ignore this requirement by Florida law. Actual Notice Versus Company Policy In the foregoing example and possible court case, the tenant shows to the judge, a point confirmed by maintenance, that the tenant gave ACTUAL NOTICE of a repair need which was not performed. The fact that the tenant gave actual notice, while not according to company policy, will result in the judge being very unsympathetic to management and maintenance, and could cause you to lose a case in court. Judges are not big on your company policies or procedures. There is nothing in the law that states that a tenant must put a routine repair request in writing. The judge will be more concerned whether the tenant gave some sort of notice, and in this example, the tenant did give notice, corroborated by the maintenance person’s testimony. Do we now ignore company “Work Order Policy”? As we have seen, requiring a tenant to provide you with a written work order is a good policy and should be continued, pushed and encouraged by all means. On the other hand, if maintenance is notified of a problem by a tenant, be it at the pool, while doing another repair in the apartment, or anywhere on the grounds, that maintenance person needs to be proactive, write a note down on the pad that he will carry at all times, and create a work order from that. Once that work order is created, the scheduling should be done with the tenant to avoid any accusations by a tenant that maintenance entered a unit without authorization or notice. Remember, when you are in court, about the last thing a judge cares about is your “company policy.”

summer months the mammoth trellis was built, all in PVC, to withstand any outdoor elements. “Plant selection was complex due to many of our desires and site conditions,” Bill said. “Deer snack in our yards, so deer-resistant plants were a necessity. The space delivered part shade and direct sun and we needed confidence that our other essential item, Italian cypress, would thrive in that environment. They would grow tall to fill the vertical space, but not grow wide and recreate the problem of the lesson learned with the prior Leyland cypress.” The Italian cypress is spaced with Tuscan flame nandina — red winter color as well as new red spring growth — on each side of the central fountain. Yuletide camellia, a December red bloomer, frames each end. Variegated boxwood, fragrant daphne, Golden Nugget barberry with contrasting Golden Ruby barberry and heuchera for the shade areas contribute interest with leaf patterns and color. Splashes of flowering color are found in the Sombrero Hot Coral coneflowers mixed with Yellow Sand coneflowers. A climbing rose called Joseph’s Coat will frame the central fountain, while coreopsis and dianthus are located throughout the garden. At the last minute, Marilyn decided she wanted a restful area with an Asian feel, so a Bonsai Japanese maple and a dry riverbed were added to create tranquility. A stone pathway encourages strolls to see the garden and then sit and relax. Drip irrigation provides efficient water use; LED lighting helps the garden glow, highlighting the fountain at night.

Contract terms cover breakups with your Realtor By Gary M. Singer Sun Sentinel – Fort Lauderdale

Question: I signed a contract with a real estate firm to sell my house, but I’m not happy and want to cancel the deal. The broker said I can’t cancel for one year. How can I get out of this contract? – Alex Answer: When you hire a real estate agent to

help you sell your house, you will sign a written contract known as a listing agreement. The terms of this contract, like any other contract, should be negotiated before you sign it. You and your agent are bound by the terms of the agreement — and the specific terms will control how and if you can end this unhappy relationship.

I recommend entering only six-month contracts that allow for a reduced commission if the seller finds the buyer directly. Most listing agreements contain a provision for paying the agent a reduced fee to cancel the contract if the seller decides that he no longer wants to sell the property. But the agreement also states that if the seller

sells the property after the cancellation, the agent will get the commission. If you are looking to cancel the contract because your agent is not doing the job or is acting unprofessionally, you should contact the agent’s supervisor at the realty company and see if the problem can be resolved. See if you can work with a different agent from the same com-

pany. If that doesn’t work, you should reach out to your local real estate board or your state’s licensing agency. You may also want to try to negotiate with your agent to get out of the contract. Remember that your agent has already put effort into trying to sell your property and deserves to be paid. If all else fails,

you should contact a local attorney to see what your legal options are.
