Right at home: making a premier design show 300 booths, armed wranglers and 900,00 pounds of freight made up this year’s Architectural Home Design Show

By Kim Cook Associated Press NEW YORK — This year’s Architectural Home Design Show, one of the industry’s premier events, was attended by tens of thousands of interior designers, architects and design enthusiasts looking for inspiration. Few could have imagined all the effort and organized chaos that went into making it.

On the day before the four-day show opened late last month, much of Pier 94’s 130,000-odd square feet on the Hudson River was a sea of bubble wrap, cardboard, moving blankets and bungee cords, providing only glimpses of the glamour, elegance and innovation that would shortly be on display.

Three-hundred booths had to be set up. Walkie-talkiearmed wranglers herded a long line of vans off the West Side Highway and toward a staging door, where another battalion of expediters made sure that the goods they dropped off — 900,000 pounds of freight when all was said and done — remained grouped and undamaged till teams came with carts and dollies to deliver them to the right booths.

Furniture, appliances, bathtubs, rugs, faucets, art and accent pieces had to wait for flooring to be installed, walls painted, lighting rigged.

There was 60,000 square feet of carpeting alone.

Buckets of flowering branches, boxes of exot-

Right: Elizabeth Lyons shows Lyon’s glass chandelier from where she used leaf and blossom imagery to create a unique lighting piece. ic blooms and bags full of moss stood near the Dining

by Design section of DIFFA (Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS), where designers and companies presented imaginative dining spaces in support of the organization’s efforts against the disease.

Calvin Klein Home ran a river of moss down the center of a massive wood table.

A giant nest of cherry blossoms hovered over the table at Ralph Lauren Home. Several men who looked like they’d be comfortable on a logging trail were at the Arteriors space, carefully unwrapping gilded tree stumps to put around a glass-topped table. Jess Gordon’s team at the Fashion Institute of Technology’s booth slid plastic vertebrae onto a massive set of ribs for a conceptual whale’s belly. Tin lanterns and rope created a chandelier to anchor the nauticalthemed space.

Designer Tucker Robbins, who collaborates with artisans around the world on sustainable furniture and ac-

cessories, was figuring out how to get a large rug into a less-large space. Ready to be placed were a group of his Snaka Waka posts — circular balls carved from coffee wood in Cameroon and stacked to make a snake shape. Sulawesi rattan fishbasket lights were strung overhead.

Patrick Weder showed pendant lights made of wire and opaque paper.

The “Made” section of the show featured up-andcoming designers. Sculptor and designer Elizabeth Lyons showed an enormous chandelier made of glass leaves and petals. George Venson hung his illustrated wallpaper rolls like whimsical waterfalls from the top of the booth; the tumbles of paper featured koi fish, butterflies, even a seductive lip print, in a riot of color.

Alex Rosenhaus and Drew Arrison, the young duo behind Alex Drew & No One, hung a walnut-framed triangle mirror on the backdrop of their booth; they brought several of their signature an-

gular furniture pieces, including a dining table perched on 24-karat-gold-painted legs, from their new studio in Detroit. They see that city as the next frontier for young furniture designers.

“We’re able to get a huge amount of studio space there for next to nothing,” Arrison said. Besides, Rosenhaus is from Detroit. “We’d heard that artists were grabbing up abandoned or foreclosed buildings there, so we decided to check it out.”

Many skilled tradespeople — welders, fabricators — who

used to work in the car industry are eager to lend their expertise to furniture designers in Detroit, the pair said. “You can also find really high-quality metals and tool parts,” Rosenhaus added.

The New York show’s “Refresh” section, where the big international kitchen and bath folk were, was full of high-end tubs, sinks, appliances and countertops. JennAir introduced a fridge with an all-black interior, making even leftovers look good. Radiant Orchid, Pantone’s color of the year, found its way onto a range hood at Prizer. Dacor

Beautiful&Durable

broke up a long, sleek run of stainless steel with a cheery backsplash of blue skies and puffy clouds.

Around the show, distressed wood in grays, brown and “greige,” a hybrid gray/ beige, often mixed with sleek elements. Ligne Roset clad their booth walls in distressed wood; JM Lifestyles installed an outdoor kitchen using a proprietary engineered-concrete. Scavolini and Diesel partnered on an unfitted kitchen with rugged modular pieces in steel and weathered-looking wood.

Bee-friendly garden can help struggling species online

By Dean Fosdick Associated Press

Bees are pulling a disappearing act. Honeybees are vanishing from their hives.

Bumblebee numbers have crashed so radically that some species are believed extinct. Even native solitary bees are in decline. Food supplies dependent upon pollinators are threatened.

But gardeners can help.

There is no single explanation for what is causing the pollinator losses, said Matt O’Neal, an associate professor of entomology at Iowa State University. “ T h e re a re m u l t i p l e sources of stress,” he said.

“There are your basic pests, also pathogens like viruses, pesticide exposure and land use practices reducing the kinds of forages bees can feed on. It looks like a combination of all those.”

As insect pollinators, bees broaden our diets beyond meats and wind-pollinated grains. An estimated onethird of all foods and beverages are made possible by pollination, mainly by honeybees, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says.

Pollinators also are essential for flowering plants and entire plant communities.

“Common species are disappearing at a dramatic rate. I’m terrified in the ex-

A lot of species are dropping out

of the landscape.”

You don’t have to become a beekeeper to restore or boost bee populations. Gardeners can: • Plant flowers and create green spaces, especially in urban areas. Leave patches of bare soil, rocks and brush piles for use by ground-dwelling native

bees. Add caterpillar host plants. “I can’t recommend particular plants for all areas of the country but I can recommend the concept,” O’Neal said. “Provide pollen and nectar throughout the (growing) season. Plant the right habitat. Every state has land grant agencies and agents. Look to

them for help.”

• Install bee hotels around the yard by drilling holes in wood blocks and creating reed or bamboo bundles.

They provide instant habitat and can be built on the cheap. “Another thing you can do is plant woody plants (elderberries, raspberries, sumac) with branches that have soft insides,” Vaughan said. “Grow these shrubs up and then cut them back to expose the stems. Carpenter and mason bees will nest in them.”

• Eliminate or change the way you apply pesticides. Don’t use them on plants that are blooming.

Apply them at night when bees are less active. Spray from ground level to reduce drift, and create buffer zones next to agricultural areas. Rethink the use of herbicides, which reduce pollinator food sources by removing flowers from the landscape.

• Add signage to advertise the presence of pollinators. Bees often range several miles from their hives or nests. Place pollinator habitat signs around pastures, community gardens, city parks, bike trails or suburban yards to promote conservation.

What it comes down to is providing at least two important things, Vaughan said: “Plant wildflowers that provide a high succession of bloom. Have home gardens free of chemicals.

Get into natural gardening.”

Four quick color tips to awaken your home in 2014 Brandpoint

While many resolutions are based on eating healthier and exercising more, homes rarely receive the same promise of improvement. This year, resolve to give your home some attention by committing to a new coat of paint. Painting can be a quick and cost-effective way to refresh your home, so consider updating several spaces for a clean start.

Color inspiration comes from anywhere. The latest color and decor trends are great starting points. Shades from the Dutch Boy 2014 Color Trends Forecast can modernize a space with a look that matches your taste

and personality. The trends collection is called Awaken and is comprised of four distinct palettes - Gather, Connect, Explore and Serene. These collections represent a renewed commitment to the environment.

your kitchen with an open, airy feel by adding exposed shelving. This will update the look, plus add storage space. An indoor herb garden is also a great way to add green to the room and fresh ingredients to your cooking.

Cook with color

Dine with color

Looking to make a big impact in your kitchen on a small budget? A new color can awaken your kitchen to make it the center for all to gather. Try hues from the Dutch Boy Gather color palette, such as Stonewall Jackson and Glass Block Green with a mix of decorative and functional kitchen items such as serving bowls, platters and pitchers.

You can also rejuvenate

If your dining furniture is looking a bit outdated, consider painting it. Chairs, tables, side boards, buffets and more can be revitalized in just one weekend. Be sure to properly prep your project so it withstands the wear and tear of regular usage.If your buffet or china cabinet has seen better years, remove the glass panels and drawers, See Color, D8

Living spaces Continued from D12 manufacturing processes.

Today, it’s easy being green, especially when it comes to outdoor living. Among the “greenest” products available for the home is composite decking. Case in point, in the past nine years, Trex — the world’s largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking — has salvaged more than 2.9 billion pounds of plastic and wood scrap, keeping these materials from landfills and transforming them into beautiful, high-performance and sustainable outdoor living products made of more than 95 percent recycled materials.

Minimize maintenance

Maintaining a wood deck can be a chore with all that scrubbing, bleaching and staining — not to mention the work and harsh chemi-

cals required to repair or replace weathered, splintered or deteriorated boards.

Wood-alternative decking and railing is low maintenance and designed to withstand wear and tear from weather, outdoor furniture and foot traffic.

High-performance composite decking offers superior durability and long-lasting good looks. Its exclusive composite formula brings together the best qualities of wood and plastic to create a superior alternative to wood, resulting in decks that require only a periodic cleaning with soap and water to stay looking and performing “like new” for years without sanding, staining or painting.

“High-performance composite decking allows homeowners to create the dream

outdoor living space they’ve always wanted while being mindful of the environment,” says Adam Zambanini, vice president of marketing for Trex. “We are extremely proud to offer a product that is as easy on the earth as it is to maintain.”

Illuminate efficiency Deck and landscape lighting are ideal for adding ambiance and safety to any outdoor space. For maximum energy efficiency, forego conventional lighting systems that use incandescent bulbs — which waste energy by producing heat as well as light — for more energy-efficient LED fixtures.

For instance, fixtures featuring Cree LED components use 70 percent less energy than traditional incandescent lighting and deliver up to 40,000 hours of light, so

Tips, serious and not, for keeping squirrels away

By Sarah Wolfe Associated Press They’re vermin to some.

Cunning adversaries to others. Squirrels have long been a source of fascination and frustration for gardeners and bird enthusiasts engaged in a near-constant battle to keep them away from the nuts and seeds put out for birds.

Greased poles. Loud music. Motion-activated sprinklers.

Bill Adler Jr. has heard all the strategies. And tried many of them.

The 57-year-old humor writer has been collecting tips to keep squirrels from avian meals for three decades, and recently updated his 1988 book, “Outwitting Squirrels: 101 Cunning Stratagems to Reduce Dramatically the Egregious Misappropriation of Seed From Your Birdfeeder by Squirrels” (Chicago Review Press), for a third edition.

The most important thing to know? While technology has changed, squirrels still have little else to do all day but strategize.

And they’re good at it.

“There’s no one technique that works for everyone,” Adler says.

Most of all, Adler says, don’t sweat it too much.

“I have to admit, I care a little less (these days). I care in a different way,” he says of his squirrel strategy.

Squirrels still eat more from his birdfeeders than the birds do, but “I don’t mind that I personally don’t always win.

“I enjoy outwitting them, I do. But these days I win the

battles and not the war.”

Here are some tips (some serious, some not) from Adler and others to bring a little harmony to your backyard:

The natural Resigned to the fact that squirrels are going to call his Washington, D.C., yard home, Adler puts out some unsalted mixed nuts along his steps.

“If you feed them, they will tend to leave the birdfeeder alone,” he says.

Squirrels also love corn, so if you don’t want them invading your feeder, keep your birdseed corn-free.

You also can try filling your feeder with safflower seeds, which are high in fat and protein.

“Many favorite backyard birds favor safflower seeds, but squirrels typically do not,” says John Schaust, chief naturalist for Wild Birds Unlimited.

The technical These days, there are motion-activated outdoor cameras if you want to monitor your feeder, and even motion-activated sprinklers to douse offending squirrels.

“Squirrel-proof” birdfeeders abound. The best, according to Adler and other experts, are those that sit on a 5-foot pole and are covered

Associated Press

Wild Birds Unlimited shows a squirrel attempting to eat bird seed on an Eliminator, a squirrel-proof bird feeder. It protects your bird seed from persistent squirrels by technology registering sensitivity set by the owner, that closes the seed ports based on weight of the intruder standing on the perch ring. with a plastic dome or “baffle” that’s hard for squirrels to cling to.

If you want to get even more high-tech, there are weight-activated feeders that actually cover up the feeding ports when a squirrel latches on.

“Squirrels are foiled, but not harmed in any way,” Schaust says.

While some particularly wily squirrels have been known to scratch up the pole and baffle enough to gain access, bird enthusiast Barbara Bergin of Austin, Texas, has a slippery solution: petroleum jelly.

She actually greases the pole her feeder hangs from with Vasoline every now and then, and says it works like a charm.

“As a bonus, it’s also fun to watch the squirrels slip off the hanger,” the 60year-old orthopedic sur-

geon quipped.

The crazy Adler devotes a chapter of his book to his own misadventures with squirrels, dating back to his bachelor days, when he first moved to Washington from New York.

Wanting a pet in an apartment building that didn’t allow them, Adler invested in a birdfeeder.

“The next day I got a squirrel, which was not part of the instructions,” he says.

He tried yelling, coated the bricks of his building with Teflon, squirted the squirrel with water, even rolled out some stainless-steel spikes.

Nothing worked.

After hearing similar stories from other frustrated bird lovers, Adler decided to pen the first edition of his diatribe against the rodents.

Also included in the book are feeder ratings, ways to

attract certain birds and 101 “cunning stratagems” to keep squirrels at bay. Some are practical. Most are hilariously ludicrous.

Some of the more entertaining: •Dig a moat around your feeder. Fill it with piranha.

• Trap squirrels and send them to Antarctica.

• Encourage your neighbors — and what the heck, your local government — to use drones to monitor and, ahem, deal with squirrels.

• Buy a squirrel costume.

Parade around your yard wearing it. Squirrels can’t figure out what in the world is going on and it drives them away.

• Buy some lasers and set up a hologram show in your yard. Make holograms of cats and hunters.

• Cry. Maybe the squirrel will feel sorry for you and go away.

Give your home an energy shot this spring with bright colors and bold patterns.

“Patterns are hot, hot, hot,” says Cathie Pliess, program coordinator of design for The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and a certified interior designer. “Look for oversized patterns in bold colors on a white background.”

Spring design is trending to naturals — florals, ethnic patterns, textures. “We are all so tied to the digital world that we crave spaces reminding us of the organic physical world,” says Juli Sproules, an interior designer and faculty member at The Art Institute of Washington, a branch of The Art Institute of Atlanta.

Here are some tips on this year’s spring trends and how to use them to update your home easily and without spending a fortune.

Big florals

This year, florals are big and bright — think tropical blooms, not delicate wildflowers. Go to your local botanical garden, or visit a florist for inspiration. “Floral patterns can bring color and life into a room,” says Sproules.

Solutions to add storage and style to your home Brandpoint The kitchen — it’s the central hub of the home where we do homework, pay bills, charge electronics, surf the Web and cook up a meal or two. We spend hours in this core of the house, so it’s not surprising that a recent survey from the Research Institute for Cooking and Kitchen Intelligence (RICKI) found that four out of five homeowners want to change something about their kitchen.

W h e t h e r t h e c h a n ge you’re seeking is a complete overhaul or a simple update, the following tips and projects can help turn your kitchen from cluttered and chaotic to clean and organized.

Conquer counters and cabinets

While you may not be able to add square footage to your kitchen, there are many ways to conquer clutter and make the room feel larger. Start by clearing off the countertops and placing small appliances or unnecessary items in cupboards or closets. Next, focus on the sink area. Add some fashion and function with a new single-handle pulldown or pullout faucet; and swap the dingy bottle of soap with a permanent soap dispenser.

Are you tired of the kitchen dish towels lying on the sink or countertop — or worse yet, the floor? Towel bars, towel rings and hooks are an ideal solution to provide a permanent and convenient home for this kitchen necessity. Other accessories, such as robe hooks, can also be used to hang potholders.

tions when organizing our kitchen drawers, but let’s face it — they’re usually a mess! According to houzz. com, many homeowners are taking a new approach to kitchen drawer storage and solving space dilemmas by installing customized sliding drawers. One example is an under-sink sliding drawer which pulls out to provide easy access to cleaning supplies that often get lost behind the pipes.

Another popular addition is a built-in utensil drawer.

Brandpoint

Don’t be afraid to use floral patterns to decorate a room in your home.

Patterns Continued from D15 more inspired by global design. “This includes motifs with influences from African, Mexican and Islamic design stylized patterns, often in oversized translation,” Pliess notes.

Mix, not match Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and textures. “Patterns used in a room — stripes, florals, hand-painted designs or geometric prints — shouldn’t be too ‘matchymatchy,’” Pliess says. “Instead, juxtapose old and new, soft and rough, various textures and patterns, like it’s been collected over time.”

Sparkle it up Bring in this season’s metallics trend with warm bronzy colors. “You can mix metallics now too — perhaps a soft rubbed bronze with highly polished silver or nickel,” says Sproules.

Blue is the hue The cool calmness of blue makes it the hot color for spring. From navy to turquoise, set off blue with natural brights — unexpected colors inspired by nature, like the rich purple of a cut gemstone, the orange-red of tropical fruit or watermelon pink.

Trend easy To bring together disparate elements and create a holistic, curated space, se-

lect a pattern that picks up elements of colors, textures, and shapes already in the room. Then use it in easy, inexpensive accents like these: • Use a dramatically patterned wall covering on one wall with the other walls painted in one color pulled from the wall covering.

• Add pillows in a variety of patterns and textures that complement and contrast.

• Add drapery panels in an exciting floral or ethnic print. “Solid walls with wildly patterned draperies make a bold statement,” says Pliess.

• Paint a large canvas from an art supply store in a vibrant blue or purple or use tape to block out a pattern and paint in several colors.

Alternatively, cover the canvas in a wildly patterned fabric.

• Display a small group of whatever you collect — teacups, books, brass or carved wood pieces, vases, pottery, photos, even gloves or shoes.

If you don’t have a collection, start one by visiting flea markets or tag sales.

“Pick three or five items and arrange on a shelf, on top of a nightstand or console table, in an unused fireplace, or in the middle of the coffee table,” recommends Sproules.

• Bring in a subtle metallic element by covering the inside of a dark lampshade with glitter or metallic spray paint. Or both — spray paint first, then add glitter.
