Outdoor decor that’s ‘out there’ and edgy BY KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The outdoor furnishings market has been dominated for years by wickerlook resin furniture and beachy prints. Spindly folding lawn chairs have given way to deep, comfy seating, and fabric choices have grown from sweaty, rough plastics to weatherproof linen, soft cotton, even velvet. The living room has most certainly moved outdoors. But for those whose design sensibility skews toward the avant garde, there haven’t been a lot of options. Until now. More and more designers and makers are producing cool, imaginative pieces for backyard and balcony. If you’re into artsy décor, there’s no reason why your outdoor space can’t reflect that as well. British ar tist David Harber has developed a global following for his innovative outdoor sculptures, which play with light and landscape. In his Oxfordshire studio, Harber and his team create sculptures, water features and sundials out of metal. Sunlight filters through a piece called Mantle, made of bronze petals fused together and gilded on the inside; the light transforms the middle into molten gold. One of his most popular pieces, Torus, is a circular expanse of superpolished steel that reflects the landscape or water in front of it. It’s there in front of you, yet appears transparent. Armillar y spheres were the first thing Harber learned to make, and the marriage of art and science was what he says drew him to the form. “I’ve made (them) for tiny cottage gardens, and for hotels; they have a universal appeal,” he says. Available in brass, steel and bronze, the spheres can be custom engraved. Some people have commissioned phrases with personal meaning; others have had their spheres etched with family names, house names, latitude and longitude, or distances to significant destinations. In his Brooklyn, New York, studio Opiar y, sculptor Robert Remer takes a more freeform approach to his artful outdoor pieces. His sculptures, planters and seating, made of steel armatures and resin-fortified cement, look otherworldly. The Archaic planter collection of abstract, organic shapes resembles

This 2019 photo provided by Ryan Hughes of Ryan Hughes Design Build shows an outdoor space at a home in Florida. Tampabased designer Hughes for this project took inspiration from the homeowner’s daughter’s love of Alice in Wonderland to create a playful, over-the-top outdoor space complete with unique lighting effects, a hanging bed and oversized checkerboard. pieces of dinosaur skeleton or watereroded rock. Little niches throughout the pieces can be planted with moss, alpines and succulents. The Drillium chair and chaise were inspired by aircraft construction and bones. Cur vy, sensuous lines with circular cutouts and little crevices for plants contrast with the hefty presence of the concrete material. You could see these pieces on an interplanetary patio. The Museum of Modern Art’s store is carrying Moroso’s M’Afrique collection of colorful outdoor furniture, handmade in Senegal with woven materials and painted steel. M’Afrique showcases
the region’s innovative weaving craft; Moroso teamed with designers like Tord Boontje to create the collection. Among the pieces: the Banjooli table, with bright yellow polyethylene cords woven to evoke overlapping feathers and inspired by the courtship dance of the ostrich. The Shadowy armchair has a Seussian exaggerated profile with high back, curvy canopy, and eye-popping colorways like black and white or orange and yellow. Thomas Heatherwick’s Spun chair, made by Magi for Herman Miller , looks like a giant child’s spin top. Placed upright, it’s sculpture. Tipped
on its side, it’s a playful, comfortable seat. Spun comes in black, white or red. Loll Designs’ Rapson chair at Perigold is a futuristic plastic version of a traditional wing chair; it comes in a bunch of colors including leaf green, apple red and sunset orange. Finally, for fans of a certain HBO series, Amedeo Designs’ Throne chair, available at Houzz.com , might be just the thing. Intricately car ved and substantially sized, the piece is actually made of lightweight resin — the perfect place from which to have a commanding view of whatever the backyard games might be.

Hello, yellow: Upbeat hue should be used right BY KIM COOK THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
If ever a color were to be associated with an emotion (OK, blue, we see you), it’s got to be yellow. Upbeat and welcoming, it’s a hue that’s easy to love. But it can be tricky to use when decorating. Bold yellows are eye-catching, but color experts advise caution. Unless you’re prepared to live with bright yellow’s peppy assertiveness, softer, creamier versions might be more prudent choices. Will Taylor, founder of the color blog Bright.Bazaar and an interior design expert at Marshalls, loves yellow in all its iterations. “To me, it’s happiness personified,” he says. “As soon as I see it, I feel joy.” Better Homes & Gardens Style Director Jessica Thomas calls yellow “sunshine in a can.” And Dee Schlotter, senior color marketing manager for PPG Paints , says yellow is often seen as the signature hue for “happy.” “Bright, energizing yellows are known to enhance the mind and help creativity flow,” she says. “We saw ‘Gen Z yellow’ bubble to the surface last year, with colors like Cr ushed Pineapple reflecting the optimism and boldness of that generation.” Schlotter says yellow was a close runner-up for PPG’s 2019 Color of the Year. Night Watch, a moody greengray, ultimately took the title, but Golden Field — a dramatic mustard yellow — was a strong second. A tip when you’re in the paint store: “We recommend first looking at the bottom color on the paint swatch to find the root of the yellow,” Schlotter says. “For example, if the bottom color is green, the yellow at the top of the card will have subtle hints of green infused into it.” Go two or three shades lighter than you think you want if you’re painting a room. And “warmer yellows tend to work better on walls,” Schlotter says. “Brighter variations are per fect on a front door, as an accent wall in a bedroom, or in a dining room to provide a rich, striking look.” Taylor’s got some favorite yellow paints, including Dayroom Yellow from Farrow & Ball , Bicycle Yellow
from Behr , and Hawthor n Yellow from Benjamin Moore . “Yellow’s the queen of accent colors,” he says. “It goes with neutrals to blacks and blues. Think of adding pops of yellow across art, pillows, throws and flowers. It will instantly add visual interest, giving the eye a place to land, and it prevents a room from feeling flat.” Lemon motifs and prints ar e a fresh, fun way to bring the color home. “Lemon print wallpaper in a bathroom or closet is a cheerful way to add yellow,” Taylor says. “Every time you step in it will make you smile.” Check out Spoonflower , Etsy and Walls Need Love for lemon-y wallpapers that range in style from realistic to retro. Marshalls has some festive, lemon-printed melamine ser veware that would add zest to summer par ties. For more dressed-up get-togethers, Williams-Sonoma has porcelain plates decorated with Meyer lemons and framed with a vintage-look botanical border. Ballard Designs of fers Sunbrella fabric by the yard with a pretty lemon-and-leaf print that would be great on patio pillows or cushions; there are faux lemon branches here as well, to tuck in a vase or basket. Kitchenaid’s buttercup yellow mixer is a softer version of the hue, while Chantal’s sunny yellow Anniversary tea kettle is a waker-upper. If you’d really like to commit, consider a piece of yellow furniture, or even an appliance. All Modern has well-priced upholstered seating, with clean-lined silhouettes that let the color take center stage. West Elm’s got a set of velvet curtains and a distressed rug in a hue called wasabi that has a golden tone. Bertazzoni and SMEG stock equipment like stoves, fridges and range hoods in fresh yellows. Ready for more? Scandinavian manufacturer Vola has marked its 50th anniversar y by releasing Arne Jacobsen’s original 1968 designed bath faucet in a rainbow of colors, and a kicky yellow is one of them. Or put the wild on the walls, with glass subway, mosaic or free-form ceramic tiles from Modwalls . Even the names are as fun as this color: Daffodil; Sunflower; Limoncello.
SMEG USA via AP
This photo provided by SMEG USA shows one of their yellow ranges. If you’re keen to take a bigger leap into yellow beyond just paint or accessories, consider appliances. SMEG has a suite of stoves, range hoods and fridges in the hue; paired with neutral colors, stone and wood, the look is upbeat and uber cool.
This photo provided by Bertazzoni shows one of their yellow ranges. With yellow’s popularity increasing, homeowners are more inclined to introduce more substantial pieces that reflect their love for the hue. This yellow range from Italian maker Bertazzoni makes a bold, beautiful statement. Bertazzoni via AP

Avoid the pain of unpacking with these 6 steps moving boxes, or they’ll get unpacked but not put away - creating clutter in your new home. If you have a clear idea of where everything will go, there will be fewer decisions to make on moving day and less rearranging required in the weeks and months that follow.
BY NICOLE ANZIA WASHINGTON POST FEATURES
What is the worst thing about moving? It’s a tough call. Purging is stressful, packing is physically draining, moving your belongings is exhausting, and unpacking can be arduous - especially after all you’ve accomplished to just get to that point. According to Duck Brand, Americans take an average of 182 days to unpack the last box after moving into a new home. Here are some tips to help simplify the process and get things put away properly in less than six months.
PREP STORAGE SPACES If there are any closets or other storage spaces that need painting, get that done before you move in. You won’t want to do it after you’re settled. To expedite unpacking in the kitchen, install drawer and cabinet liners to protect surfaces before your move. This is a lot easier to do before you begin to unpack. If you’re absolutely certain where items such as silver ware, spices and food will be stored, you can buy drawer dividers, a spice rack and pantry bins, but these can also be easily installed after the move. However, if you’re planning to use industrial shelving in an unfinished basement or garage, it is helpful to have those shelves built, and in place, before your move. Having surfaces ready to hold
REVIEW MEASUREMENTS Whether you’re buying or renting, make sure you have accurate measurements of all the rooms and storage areas in your house. If you don’t have a floor plan with measurements, measure before you move. Think through where it makes most sense to place ever ything, whether it’s furniture or lightbulbs. If you don’t do any planning, items will either get stashed in the nearest cabinet or closet in a rush to empty

Don’t get hosed when looking for a plumber BY JILL CHODOROV KAMINSKY WASHINGTON POST FEATURES
Unless you are a do-it-yourself plumber - a club to which I do not belong - then you have, probably, felt the pain that comes from having to call for backup. Never mind the anxiety caused by water flooding onto the floor - it’s the thought of the money flowing from the wallet that causes the greatest shock. When faced with a toilet malfunction, the most I can do is jiggle the handle. That might work temporarily, but it is no long-term solution. There is only one option: Call a plumber. I was recently faced with the dilemma of a toilet tank taking five hours to fill. I called a local plumber. Before he stepped foot in my house, I had already paid for his travel time - the time calculated was completely out of my control, as it depended on where he was traveling from - a detail that was not disclosed upfront. Next, the ser vice fee. This is the fee to step across the threshold. Then - time, labor and supplies to make the repairs. These estimates were within a close range among the plumbing companies that I called. I ended up selecting a plumbing company that was recommended to me. I asked upfront whether it was more cost effective to replace the old toilet rather than repair it. They could fix it, I was told. Here’s the fun part: The toilet still didn’t work after the plumber left. I called the plumbing company back to complain. They were happy to come back to fix it, at a cost: another travel and ser vice fee, plus time, labor and supplies. I insisted on a reduced price to replace the toilet with a new one. In the end, I paid at least 40% more than if I had just replaced the toilet from the start. In a few conversations with plumbing companies, I attempted to get a definitive all-in price for the work upfront. I even stated a price I was willing to pay for the repair. Some were angr y and of fended that I had the
nerve to dictate the price for the job. “You don’t go to a restaurant and tell the business how much you are going to pay for a steak dinner. It’s just another example of how plumbers are often disrespected,” said Josh Vigil of Big Boy Plumbing Supply in Lovington, New Mexico, responding to a message I posted on his Facebook page about the price of hiring a plumber. I am confident that there are plenty of plumbers out there who are professional and guarantee their work. My question is: How can you be sure that the plumber you hire is one of them? I set out to get answers. “It is important to know that an estimate is not a service agreement,” said Glen Blanc, the owner of Pro-Spex Home Inspection Ser vices, which works in the Washington area. “A service agreement spells out the terms and warranty on their work.” When calling a plumber, it is customar y for a consumer to ask for an estimate of the price. When an estimate is provided, remember that it is just an estimate and not a set price. The plumber can change that number once the work has been completed, while they are still in your home. A ser vice agreement, on the other hand, provides a consumer with details not of fered in an estimate such as, a set price for the work, an understanding of the work to be completed, and a formal understanding of any guarantees on the work. The agreement should explain the expectations from both par ties: Who will dispose of the old toilet, what is the quality standard of the work, and what happens if the work does not meet expectations? Blanc explained that if a ser vice agreement is of fered up front, then you probably have a good plumber. “Ser vice agreements are rarely provided,” Blanc warned. I asked some plumbing companies about the high cost of hiring them. Across the board, I was told that the
cost of operating a plumbing company is high: salaries, equipment, trucks, travel, training and insurance. I also was told that, without a visual inspection of the plumbing issue, it is difficult in many situations to provide an exact price estimate, just as surgeons don’t necessarily know the extent of a diagnosis until they have opened you up. A website dedicated to providing consumers with tips on hiring plumbers - ThePlumbingInfo.com - provides examples of how the cost of hiring a plumber might change once the plumber arrives at your home. “A prospective customer has a new kitchen sink faucet they want installed. The plumber simply has to take the old faucet off and install a new faucet, right? The plumber gets under the sink and finds that the basin nuts are fused to the faucet and they can’t be removed with a normal basin wrench. The project has just become infinitely more difficult,” the site says. The Plumbing, Heating and Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) recommends reviewing the plumber’s license in the state or jurisdiction in which the work is being performed. Many localities require that plumbing, heating and cooling contractors be licensed to ensure that all health, safety and building codes are followed. If that’s the case where you live, ask the contractor for his or her license number. The PHCC also recommends reviewing the contractor’s proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance. This is to make sure you’re not liable for any accidents on your property. They also recommend contacting the Better Business Bureau to find out whether any complaints have been filed on the contractor. Recently, the attorney general of V irginia took enforcement action against three contractors that were operating without a license. A news release issued by the attorney general’s of fice stated that the contractors “of fered contractor ser vices to
consumers, obtained money before performing those services, and failed to complete those ser vices.” Two of the contractors claimed to be licensed plumbers. To get thoughts from plumbers on what to know when hiring a plumber, I posed a question on a Facebook page called, “Ask A Plumber.” What should consumers know when hiring a plumber? I asked. “If you feel afraid that if you don’t fix what the plumber says needs to be fixed or else something extremely terrible will happen, then you are probably being sold,” said Leon Bourassa, a plumber in Canada. Bourassa explained that many plumbers are paid a commission, so they do their best to upsell. “They use fear to swing a decision toward the more expensive option,” Bourassa wrote. “A plumber should always be a plumber first, and a salesman second,” said David Spaulding, president of the Plumbing Works in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. “We should be giving you different options, hopefully ones that fit your budget.” Spaulding also warned that if you try to save money by hiring a plumber as a “side job” outside of his employer, the plumber is probably not licensed. “Most plumbers are only licensed when working under their employer’s master license,” Spaulding said. “If they are dishonest enough to take a side job, you probably don’t want them in your home anyway,” Spaulding continued. Most homeowners I talked to are resigned to the fact that they are at the mercy of the contractor. And the lesson many homeowners learn when it comes to plumbing: When you find a reliable plumber, keep them. When an underground pipe burst at his house, Ivan Galic, a Bethesda homeowner, called his go-to plumber. “It was costly, but I picked him over others because he had done other work for us over the years,” Galic said.

These are just some of the reasons homeowners are going mor tgage-free and choosing the rental lifestyle over homeownership. In fact, in a 2016 Pew Research Center sur vey, 32% of respondents said they rent as a matter of choice. Here are some things to keep in mind if you’re thinking of transitioning from homeowner to renter. Research, research, research: Before signing a lease, make sure you visit the proper ty to get a feel for the place - not only the apar tment you’ll be renting but also the
common areas and overall community as well as the neighborhood. And check out online reviews to get a sense of what other residents have experienced. Evaluate the amenities: Even if you downsize your living space to move into rental housing, the community can provide amenities to upgrade your lifestyle that may have previously not been an option. Ask yourself: What amenities will tip the cost-benefit scale for me? Then, make sure the community you’re exploring of fers those services. An on-site gym or yoga room for working out, a pool for relaxing in the summer or a pet area to walk your dogs and socialize with other residents are all benefits to consider. Prepare for tax changes: Keep
in mind, the switch from owning to renting might af fect your taxes. When owning a home, mor tgage inter est and pr oper ty taxes ar e often tax deductible - a benefit you lose when signing a lease. Talk to your accountant or financial planner to avoid any surprises at tax time. And be sure to ask about all your options, such as the possibility of writing of f par t of your rent if you work from home. Update your monthly budget: If you’re a baby boomer looking to downsize, you may have had a consistent mor tgage payment for the past 25 years. As you review your retirement savings and monthly spending, be sure to consider your new monthly rent payment (plus any additional expenses for utilities, parking, temporar y storage, etc.)
and plan for a gradual increase year to year. Declutter your life: Some individuals can’t wait to purge their basement storage pile, but for others, it can be difficult to part with some of those belongings. As you go through your home, consider each item What do you use most often? What haven’t you used in more than a year? What are you holding on to for sentimental value? You may not be able to keep everything, but you can keep the things that mean the most. Get creative with customization: If you’re worried about the limits or lack of control over decor in your rental, rest assured you do have oppor tunities to make a rental proper ty your own.

As a renter, you won’t have to wor r y about mowing the lawn, shoveling snow or cleaning out the gutters. And when the dishwasher leaks or the air conditioning is on the fritz, you don’t have to worr y about fixing it yourself. You just call your proper ty manager to handle the repairs. And without the need for maintenance, remember you can also free yourself from the stuf f that goes along with it. That means you can sell or donate your tools and lawn care items instead of moving them to your new rental home. Donations can be tax deductible in cer tain circumstances.

Kitchen remodels are a big undertaking. Here are some options. BY DIMA WILLIAMS WASHINGTON POST FEATURES
When a dishwasher, refrigerator and double oven - all builder-grade and all nearly 20 years old - failed in a brief span in late 2017, Dan and Marianne Casserly pondered their options. They could under take an extensive kitchen remodel, or they could seek a new home for their fivemember family. “I was intimidated by all of the potential construction and potentially being displaced from our home for a long time,” Dan Casserly said. The Casserlys had purchased their large, Craftsman-style home in Falls Church, Virginia, in 2001, raised three children there and cherished their community, which is why they opted to renovate rather than move.
“There are so many people that are doing more redesigns in their homes than they are finding new houses to move around,” he said. Spurred by swelling proper ty values, owners remaining longer in their homes and a sluggish newconstr uction sector, the remodeling industr y has boomed since the Great Recession, more than doubling to a record $425 billion in 2017, according to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Har vard University. Kitchens are among the most popular renovation projects. There were roughly 2 million kitchens remodeled in 2017, costing 140 percent more than they did in 1995, the center calculates in its 2019 “Impr oving America’s Housing” repor t. A minor revamp of a 200-square-
foot kitchen, which is roughly the size of a one-car garage, amounts to $22,000 on average, per Remodeling Magazine’s cost-vs.-value analysis. An upscale renovation can surpass $130,000. The National Kitchen and Bath Association puts the average cost of a kitchen remodel, regardless of dimensions, at $34,000, according to its Lifestyle Segmentation Study. Given the amount of money homeowners spend on kitchen remodels, picking the approach that works best for you is key. Budgets, timelines and your willingness to do the work yourself will dictate the method you choose. Here are seven ways to go about it. 1. A design-build fir m is a one-stop shop. Staf fed with designers and craftsmen, these companies handle ever ything from
inception to completion. This approach appealed to the Casserlys, who considered a general contractor but ultimately picked Case Design. “My husband and I both have demanding jobs and we have three teenagers at home who ar e all involved in spor ts,” Marianne Casserly said. “We really didn’t have time to manage dif ferent contractors.” Handling projects in-house, design-build companies have a level of accountability that is rare in the fragmented remodeling industr y. “We ar e uniquely situated as design-build to put the pr oject together in a cohesive manner,” said Elle Hunter, Case’s director of project development. Design-build companies handle alterations to plumbing and electri-

cal systems and modifications to load-bearing walls, ser vices designers and even some general contractors often outsource. “We have been known for changing the rest of the space around the kitchen, maybe taking down a wall or opening up more windows or r eplacing floors,” said Jonas Carnemark, founder of Carnemark Design and Build. Although they don’t sell appliances, they usually have relationships with vendors, which allows them to coordinate deliver y with the construction schedule. A common concern with designbuild companies is that they focus too much on the overall project and not the finer aspects of the design. “There is attention to detail in the kitchen but not on the same level” as a kitchen designer, said Nadia Subaran, co-founder and coowner of Aidan Design. A centralized design-build operation can be too formulaic - a trait that promotes reliability but hinders personalization. This approach is best for homeowners who seek reliability and
clarity in the remodeling process but lack the time to oversee it themselves. 2. Kitchen designer. Because it is their specialty, kitchen designers bring a high level of exper tise and personalization to the project. “You do a kitchen once or twice in your life and it is a whole lot of money,” said Susan Serra, designer and owner of New York-based Susan Ser ra Associates. “I think [you] should go and inter view professionals and go to one who does it ever y day.” Kitchen designers parse clients’ habits of cooking and enter taining, their needs and wants, their homes’ constraints and possibilities. They maximize the space’s ef ficiency and functionality. “You work with [a designer] to design something that is personal to you,” said Taylor Kiessig, who tr usted Aidan Design in Mar yland with an update of his family’s rowhouse in the District of Columbia. The benefit designers bring to a project is their knowledge of the latest trends and materials. Stacy Neri, a stay-at-home mother of five
ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE 19
from Long Island, hadn’t heard of a galley sink until Serra suggested it. Now, she can’t live without it. “I recommend a designer because they have access to products and infor mation that I just didn’t know about,” Neri said. The downside is that some designers associate with a select few brands and manufactur ers, which could cur tail choices. Another drawback is a designer only designs the kitchen. You still need to hire a contractor to carr y out the design. This approach is best for homeowners who may have a vision for their kitchen but struggle to translate it into the architecture of their home. It is also for renovators who do not mind spending weeks on the design phase. 3. General contractor. Homeowners who know exactly what they want may prefer to go with a general contractor. “We can just build things of f a photo,” said Claud Fatu, owner of New York City-based Fatu Constr uction. “We do it all the time. There is no designer involved. The
functionality of it falls back on us.” Dan Nistor, owner of Alumni Builders in Chicago, said he doesn’t see an advantage to hiring a kitchen designer. “You ar e just adding another layer of pricing,” he said. Homeowners who hire a designer and a contractor incur markups and potentially higher costs. Fatu said when he’s working for a designer rather than directly for a client, he tends to bill more. “If you ar e going to call me directly, you are probably going to save money and you know what you want,” Fatu said. A contractor also may have relationships with vendors and can pass along discounts to a homeowner on cabinets, materials and finishes. When Darr yl Nipps, a real estate agent with Compass in New York City, redid his kitchen, he hired Fatu because he knew what he wanted and just needed someone to execute it. “I think it is really impor tant to find a contractor that you can trust SEE REMODELS/PAGE 20

and someone who can counsel you through the project,” Nipps said. Contractors’ breadth of ser vices also matters. Some only do the demolition and constr uction, leaving clients to shop for materials and appliances themselves; others pull permits and place orders. But they often charge more. A disadvantage to this approach is that they are in such demand it can be challenging to find a reliable contractor who does quality work. Some contractors do not have a brick-and-mor tar presence, which can make it dif ficult t0 track them down in case of disputes. This approach is best for homeowners who easily conceptualize what they want and can manage their kitchen remodel. 4. Big-box store. For a previous remodel, Nipps used Ikea’s online 3-D application to design his kitchen and then chose cabinets from
Friday, July 12, 2019
the store, which Fatu assembled. “The tool [also] shows you how much the kitchen will cost,” said Kathleen W ilber, Ikea’s kitchen business leader, via email. Another benefit is these stores of fer financing for the project. Such of ferings position big-box stores as af fordable and versatile centers for kitchen renovations. Homeowners can shop for anything they need - from mor tar to microwaves - at multiple price points and receive design and constr uction assistance. In this sense, they are even more comprehensive than design-build companies. Big-box stores cater to a variety of homeowners who have dif ferent needs, timelines and budgets. “We have something for ever ybody,” said Jennifer Wagner, a kitchen and bath installations merchant with Home Depot. Both Ikea and Home Depot train employees in kitchen design. They outsource constr uction, but homeowners don’t have to use their vendor. The cost of labor can be cheaper through a big-box store than a general contractor because
the stores give their contractors many projects and the contractors often pass the discounts onto the homeowner. Unlike a design-build company, though, these contractors may not have the licenses to make structural changes. The stores also of fer war ranties for products and ser vices. Big-box stores’ comprehensive approach suited Bruce Wasser and Fern Schumer Chapman, who redid their kitchen with Home Depot in Nor thern Illinois. “The house is of pretty significant value and most people would have probably chosen to go with a designer rather than Home Depot,” Chapman said. “But I refused to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for a kitchen.” Not only did Wasser and Chapman get their dream kitchen, the result ear ned Home Depot’s companywide “kitchen of the month” award in Februar y. Yet, big-box stor es, even the same brand, var y in the quality of ser vice. They seldom are a match for “the level of experience or commitment to the industr y you will
find with an independent kitchen designer,” said Sarah Rober tson, principal at Studio Dearborn in New York. This approach is best for homeowners who want to save money on the design and installation while enjoying the convenience of shopping for all kitchen components under one roof. 5. Specialty kitchen stor e. Specialty kitchen stores are similar to big-box retailers in that they provide an ar ray of kitchen components including cabinets and fixtures. They also resemble design firms because they employ designers, who are often better qualified and more experienced than their counterpar ts at lar ge r etailers. Unlike a designer at a big-box store who perhaps transfer red into the kitchen depar tment and received some in-house training, specialty kitchen store designers tend to be nationally cer tified professionals. “We of fer what I would consider almost a custom level of products and ser vices [at] Home Depot or Lowe’s price,” said Craig Pugh, designer with the Kitchen & Bath

Shop in the District of Columbia. These stores swing from low-cost upgrades to lavish remodels, without pledging fealty to brands the way a design firm might. Moreover, for over whelmed firsttime renovators, specialty kitchen shops may reduce the anxiety of seemingly endless choices as the product selections they car r y are often nar rower than those of bigbox stores. “If you have never done a kitchen, there are a lot of choices,” said Jef f Mittelman, designer at the Ultimate Bath & Kitchen Design Store in Westborough, Mass. “Just narrowing down manufacturers and bells and whistles and finishes, a lot of people don’t know [how].” That’s why Amy Brockway, an operations manager in Boylston, Mass., hired Mittleman to modernize her kitchen. “I had a million ideas,” she said. “I kind of knew what I wanted it to look like, what the feel to be, but I needed somebody to keep me grounded.” The drawback to specialty kitchen shops - like big-box stores - is profit may tr ump design in some
establishments, Subaran of Aidan Design said. This approach is best for homeowners who needs exper t guidance as they shop without being overwhelmed by alternatives. 6. High-end design fir m. If your approach to a kitchen renovation is you want the best of ever ything, spare no expense, then a high-end design firm is for you. “I compare it a lot with Italian fashion, where it is really the love for detail,” said Julia Walter, managing director at Italian-bred Bof fi Georgetown. Like an exquisite atelier, upscale fir ms provide high quality but it comes at a price. Clients seek “a way of looking at the kitchen that is dif ferent,” said Car nemark, who, independently from his design-build firm, heads Konst SieMatic, the D.C. area outpost of the German kitchen manufacturer. Conner Herman chose SieMatic for two unrelated remodels. “I will never have to get a new kitchen,” she said. “I might have to get a new oven, but this design is timeless.”
ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE 21
While a high-end design company may have economical options, the cost of top-quality cabinets alone could exceed the entire remodel budget of some homeowners. This approach is best for homeowners who cannot only af ford to splurge but who wish to do so with a heightened attention to aesthetics and function. 7 . D o - i t - y o u r s e l f . The most cost-ef fective option is a do-it-yourself kitchen remodel. These renovations appeal to handy homeowners such as Nikki Boyd. A professional organizer, Boyd, together with her husband, redid the kitchen of her Charleston, South Carolina, house. They refinished the cabinets, replaced the appliances and installed a backsplash. With DIY, “you can save a tremendous amount of money,” Boyd said. Sarah Milne, a woodworker and blogger in Por tland, Ore., agreed. Leaning on exper tise cultivated by flipping homes with her husband, she estimated her kitchen remodel would have cost $20,000
if she paid someone else to do it. G o i n g t h e D I Y r o u t e , h o w e v e r, she spent less than a quar ter of that amount. “Labor was our one cost saver,” Milne said. With help from her spouse, she resur faced the cabinets, built additional ones, opened a wall and laid new tiles and floors. Like the Boyds, the only task they entrusted to a contractor was the placement of counter tops, which turned out to be a mistake. The installation resulted in a chip and an uneven edge. “People who want to be picky about the way they want it [done],” Milne said, should do the work themselves. Of course, they need to have the aptitude, time or even local authorization. In many jurisdictions, any renovations that tamper with plumbing or electricity in condos or co-ops require licensed professionals, Fatu said. This approach is best for homeowners who have minimal budgets or want to economize by expensing their own time, ef for t and creativity in a remodel.

Five ways a housing counselor can help a first-time home buyer BY MICHELE LERNER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES
Housing counselors are commonly recommended to help homeowners who are having dif ficulty making their mor tgage payments, but these counselors can also provide assistance to would-be homeowners. In fact, working with a housing counselor before you buy can be a good way to get into a sustainable housing situation and avoid making mistakes. We asked Marietta Rodriguez, president and chief executive at the nonprofit organization NeighborWorks America, to share several ways a housing counselor can help potential home buyers: 1. Housing counselors help in assessing whether you’re ready to
buy: It may be a good time financially for you to purchase a home, and a counselor will help you determine that. Counselors also debunk home-buying myths, such as that a 20% down payment is needed when, in fact, there are programs that require much less. 2. Housing counselors review your credit score and help you create an action plan to deal with any discrepancies in your credit repor t: Weak credit can stall your dreams of homeownership. But a housing counselor can work with you, suggest strategies that can help improve your credit score and get you on the right path. 3. Housing counselors can determine how much house you can af ford based on your income and
other debts: Many people make the mistake of falling in love with a house only to realize later that they can’t af ford it. Housing counselors provide you with an idea of how much you can bor row and buy before a buyer begins looking at homes. In addition, a housing counselor can provide information on mor tgage programs that fit best with your financial situation. There are a variety of mor tgage types and products. Housing counselors provide information on the options available. 4. Housing counselors provide information on available down payment and closing cost assistance programs that could help reduce the amount of money you need to have saved to buy a home: Down

payment and closing-cost assistance programs make home purchasing more af fordable for first-time buyers. 5. Housing counselors can help buyers work with other exper ts: Housing counselors can help buyers find a real estate agent who is familiar working with a first-time home buyer. Housing counselors also can help a buyer get the most out of working with r eal estate agents, lenders, insurance agents, home inspectors or any of the professionals a buyer encounters during the home-buying process. Classified advertising gets the job done.
