Salvage shops offer sustainable decor with a story

BY KATHERINE ROTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

T wo of the hottest tr ends in home decor are sustainability and authenticity. No wonder architectural salvage shops are busy.

Homeowners love features that come with a stor y, says Rich Ellis, publisher of Architectural Salvage and Antique Lumber News.

“When you can point to your floor and say it came from an old shoe factor y in Connecticut, for example, that’s a big attraction,” he says.

There are between 500 and 700 architectural salvage businesses across the countr y, and business has been good, he says.

“It’s about both histor y and sustainability,” says Madeline Beauchamp of Olde Good Things, one of the oldest architectural salvage businesses in the countr y, with one shop in Los Angeles, two retail warehouses in Scranton, Pennsylvania, three stores in New York City and a flagship store to open soon in Midtown Manhattan.

Lor na Aragon, home editor at Martha Stewart Living, says people are looking for quality and “want their homes to be original. And of course the whole ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ aspect of things plays into it as well.”

While some items are sold just as found when they were salvaged from renovation sites, others have been modified for home use. There are Paris street lamps reconfigur ed as large pendant lamps to hang above kitchen islands or in loft apartments, and window frames from historical buildings like New York City’s Domino sugar factor y or Flatiron building, now fitted with mir rors to be hung on walls. T in ceiling tiles from old New York buildings are also sometimes fitted with mirrors, or framed and hung as is, says Beauchamp.

“One customer came in for a gargoyle, to be incorporated in their garden area,” she adds. Her customers tend to be designers, architects and those tr ying to update their homes with unique decor that has a sense of histor y.

Olde Good Things sells ever ything from vintage doorknobs to

huge stained-glass panels that were once par t of the American Airlines terminal at John F. Kennedy Airpor t in New York. There are enormous chandeliers that once hung in a Broadway theater, and, from the old Waldor f-Astoria Hotel, dishes, fireplace mantels and the elegant door frame of the historic hotel’s presidential suite.

Stuar t Grannen runs the upscale Architectural Ar tifacts in Chicago, which deals in rare items favored by restaurants, bars and hotels.

“These days, individuals might have one really great centerpiece item and live with that,” he says.

“The days when someone would come in and buy 50 doorknobs are done.”

Most of his clients, he says, are businesses looking for huge, beautiful counters, showcases, consoles or back bars.

“When I salvage things, it might be the whole facade of a theater, or a giant chandelier,” he says.

But Aragon counters that items like vintage plumbing, sinks and tubs continue to be popular.

In addition to architectural elements, salvaged lumber is also a hot item in many salvage shops, sometimes transformed into things like dining tables, ready-made, customordered or sold as is.

“The antique lumber side of things is ver y strong,” says Ellis, for table tops and other decor elements.

Antique bricks and paving stones are also being repurposed for, say, a decorative wall.

“Things like those wonderful old wide floorboards and bar n siding have been popular for some time,” notes Aragon.

Ellis traces this histor y of architectural salvage to the 1960s, and says it has been growing slowly but steadily ever since but really became mainstream in the 1990s.

While the first generation of architectural salvage business owners is star ting to retire and close, a new generation is stepping in, he says.

“That desire for elements with a sense of histor y and a great stor y behind them is not going away anytime soon,” says Ellis.

A splash of color can refresh the kitchen without a remodel

BY KATIE WORKMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Some days, do you look around your kitchen and think about ripping it apart and starting fresh? But a full kitchen remodel isn’t in the cards?

That’s no reason you can’t give your kitchen’s look and feel a little boost.

The easiest way to change things up is to add a pop of color. Bright and bold or soft and pretty, splashes of color offer immediate gratification in the kitchen-cheer department.

Some easy ways to do that: Stand Mixer: Talk about color choices! The KitchenAid Artisan 5-quart stand mixer comes in a whopping 46 colors. The hardest part is choosing . should you go with Buttercup, Cobalt Blue, Aqua Sky or the newest color, Passion Red, in honor of the brand’s 100th anniversary? Smeg’s colorful offerings include a crazily patterned Dolce and Gabbana mixer, available at Williams-Sonoma (and carrying a designer price tag). Mixers can be beautiful enough to leave on the counter (which may prompt more cookie-baking, never a bad thing).

Food Processor: A touch of metallic adds shine and a little bling to a kitchen. For example, the 14-cup Cuisinart comes in a fun Copper Classic, and I don’t know of an appliance that gets more of a workout in my kitchen. My glimmer-gold version makes me feel a bit like a Kardashian . a Kardashian chopping onions.

Big Fruit Bowl: A quick color fix on the counter — both the fruit and the bowl. Fiesta specializes in affordable, colorful tabletop and cookware, in 15 colors (Scarlet! Meadow! Poppy! Daffodil! Lapis!

Claret!). The Drift Bowls at CB2 in red and yellow are also cheerful, and you can hunt for something more unusual on Etsy.com or in local shops.

Vases: Another low-cost and simple way to cheer up your space is with flowers. And lovely blooms deserve a lovely vase. The Glossy Bamboo vase from Middle Kingdom is sculptural and sleek; inspired by ancient Chinese porcelain, these shiny containers looks especially good when a few are grouped together. The inner hue contrasts with the outer glaze for even more color impact: The bright yellow one, for

There are a lot of ways to add color to your kitchen. example, is lined with turquoise. West Elm, meanwhile, has a line of Bright Ceramicist vases that will also add a jolt of liveliness to the room.

Utensil Pots: Many of us love to keep

cooking utensils in a little canister on the countertop for easy grabbing, but we don’t think too much about how that container looks. This is yet another opportunity for color! Glazed earthenware Tabor Pots

come in rich blue, burnt orange and deep yellow. And yes, you could also use them for their original purpose, as planters. Poke around a garden shop for some other brightly colored pots.

Tea Towel/Dish Towels: One of the easiest and least expensive ways to liven up the space. Pick colors or patterns based on the season, a holiday or just a change in mood, and keep changing them up.

Blender: Another go-to kitchen tool, it tends to hide in plain view. You might as well make it count color-wise! Many of the Vitamix blenders are available in arresting red and shimmery copper. More budgetfriendly Black & Decker has some vibrantly hued choices as well. You can tuck a blender in the corner and let it sparkle while not in use.

Toaster: Smeg’s retro-looking toaster has models for two or four slices, and comes in colors including red, pastel green, pastel blue and pink. Secor and others also have an array of colors in pop-up toasters.

Coffee Maker: While you wait for your toast to pop up, brew yourself a cuppa in your teal or red Keurig K-Mini Plus. Other Keurig coffee makers come in colors like Greenery and Black Plum, so you can pick the one that speaks to your morning aura.

If you’re more of a pot-of-coffee person, the Bella Linea 12-cup coffee makers come in lots of colors including lime green, magenta pink and purple.

Fridge: Ready to go bigger? And have some fun? Galanz makes Old School-style fridges in sizes ranging from 3.1 cubic feet, which could tuck under a counter, to a more full-size 12 cubic feet. You can go cool and pastel with Bebop Blue, or create a full-on focal point in the kitchen with Hot Rod Red. Microwaves in similar styles and the same colors are also available. Smeg, Danby and Fridgidare are other brands that make stopand-stare colorful fridges.

Fans: Kitchens can get hot and smoky.

The countertop Fanimation Urbanjet Fan comes in colors from baby blue to bright red to shiny rose gold. Vornado also makes some cute table fans in various hues.

So while you wait for your bank account to grow to full kitchen-renovation level, there are plenty of ways to make your kitchen a happier place to be. Pick a color, any color.

ASK A DESIGNER

Drab and boring? Not these laundry rooms can enjoy a view.”

BY MELISSA RAYWORTH THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STRATEGIC STORAGE

Doing laundr y is a relatively boring task. But it doesn’t have to be done in a drab, boring room.

W ith a few strategic changes, even a small laundr y r oom can become a space that’s appealing to be in and can double as a room for other activities too.

“Laundr y rooms don’t need to be a space that we apologize for anymore,” says New York-based interior designer Deborah Martin.

Here, Mar tin and two other designers — HGTV’s Brian Patrick Flynn and Miami-based Raquel Mothe, of Mothe Design — of fer advice on tur ning a basic laundr y room into a space you love.

LOCATION, LOCATION Especially in older homes, one of the least convenient things about the laundr y room is where it is — often far from where laundr y gets generated.

If you’re remodeling, Flynn says, consider relocating your laundr y room as close to the master bedroom as possible. In fact, make it part of your master bedroom closet, if there’s enough space.

“This makes it way easier for homeowners to tackle their laundr y without having to then bring it back and for th across the house,” he says.

And though it’s a splurge, it’s worth considering having more than one space where laundr y gets done.

When working on new luxur y home projects, Mothe says, she often includes one laundr y room on the house’s main level for cleaning things like small rugs, pet toys, pool towels and other household items.

She puts another laundr y space with similar design and the same machines on the second floor near the bedrooms.

GO BRIGHT AND BOLD

Have fun with color and pattern, the designers say.

Mothe rarely uses white for a laundr y room, aiming for a

This photo provided by interior designer Raquel Mothe of Mothe Design shows a laundry room designed by Mothe in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. This laundry room includes plenty of storage with cabinets by Ornare, as well as recessed ceiling lighting and natural light, creating a space that’s welcoming and also functional. cozier vibe.

If there are colors you love but think are too bright for other rooms, Flynn suggests using them in your laundr y room. It’s also a great place for patterns that seem too much for a living room or bedroom. Wallpaper’s a good way to do that.

“Nine times out of 10,” Flynn says, “I find that simply adding wallpaper to a laundr y r oom or laundr y closet instantly makes it feel more inviting.”

I f y o u ’ r e u p d a t i n g t h e f l o o r, Mar tin suggests creating a cheerful space with an interesting tile design.

HELPFUL DETAILS Mar tin and Mothe both advise including a really large sink in a laundr y room. And Martin suggests adding a drain in the floor.

“We never plan for accidents, but accidents happen,” she says.

Mar tin also recommends builtin bins or baskets for separating clothes.

Also: Have plenty of space for dr ying items that you won’t be putting in the dr yer. “Let’s say you are washing a silk blouse that you are not sending to the dr y cleaners,” Mothe says. Install a bar with hangers or a retractable hanging rack.

Mothe also adds dr ying racks for clients who will be washing things like sneakers and other shoes.

BEST LIGHTING Laundry rooms need plenty of light, and that can include what designers call “statement lighting” — something gorgeous that brightens the room and adds a dose of style.

Flynn suggests adding a pendant light or even some kind of chandelier, if space allows.

Recessed ceiling lighting is also helpful, Martin says, especially over areas where you’ll be trying to get out a stain or sorting clothes.

And if you’re doing new construction or remodeling, Martin says, give your laundry room plenty of windows.

Even if we’re just doing laundry, she says, “We can enjoy a little light. We

Don’t forget to add a few tall cabinets for things like brooms or ironing boards, Mothe says. And she thinks it’s wor th investing in high-quality countertops.

A detail like that, she says, can “make a difference between the regular laundry and the luxury one.”

If your laundry room also includes open shelving, Martin suggests storing items in apothecary jars or large Mason jars. “They’re a nice option to store stray things like collar stays, misplaced buttons or even detergent pods,” she says. “There’s no reason we can’t put our detergent in something pretty.”

But do add plenty of closed storage, since much of what you may be storing probably isn’t especially attractive, Flynn says.

“Concealed storage is super important, especially counter-to-ceiling when possible. There are so many essential supplies involved with laundr y and not many are aesthetically pleasing,” Flynn says. “Keeping everything behind cabinet doors is key.”

CONSIDER OTHER USES

Martin has one client who uses her laundry room to cut and arrange fresh flowers. So the room was designed with extra storage space related to that hobby.

If you’re building or remodeling, consider expanding your laundr y area’s size and purpose, perhaps combining your mudroom and laundr y room.

This is especially good “for active families with kids and pets,” Flynn says.

“I’ve found that the more space allotted to a laundry room,” he says, “the less of a task space it becomes and the more of a social space it begins to feel like.”

This fall, drop the decor cliches JURA KONCIUS WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

As farm stands fill with mums and pumpkins, flower designer Jo Oliver is imagining new ways to bring the changing of the seasons into her home.

“I always like to avoid the cliches of fall,” she says. “Why not elevate your pumpkin and change up your colors?”

Instead of the traditional oranges and burgundys, Oliver takes inspiration from the subtle changes of color and texture she sees in the rolling hills and the fading gardens around her 1820 farmhouse in West River, Mar yland, 30 miles east of Washington, D.C. “I love the colors of the moody blue skies this time of year, the way the plants look after the first frost, the golds of the cor nfields after har vest and the purplish shadows at twilight,” Oliver says. This year, as Thanksgiving approaches, her front porch, wide entr y hall and dining room are filled with pumpkins of all sizes painted in dusty shades of pale blue, mustard, gray and biscuit.

Roses, hellebores and thistle are massed on her dining table and sideboard in delicate purple, navy and cream. And her blue and white china collection inspired her handdrawn, transfer ware-style pumpkins and a wreath made of plates.

Last year Oliver, her husband, Robb Stout, and their 3-year-old daughter moved from their Washington bungalow to a white clapboard house that was once a parsonage. She also relocated her flower studio, Flower Guild 1820, and now creates arrangements for individual clients, weddings and other special events in a Mainestyle barn next to her home. She also of fers classes.

Oliver says if you want to change up your Thanksgiving (or any holiday look), go to a garden center with a plan and a color palette in mind. “It’s hard to imagine a dif ferent approach when you are already in the store and the aisles are filled with orange and black things,” she

says. “Check out your own yard first, and make a list of greens, leaves, branches, pine cones and pods that you can use.” Figure out what colors you’re drawn to and how you could supplement with fr uits, vegetables, ber ries, rose hips or herbs, she says.

“Think outside your normal field of colors,” she says. If you’re going to choosing some paint for your DIY projects, have an idea what you want before you get to the wall of chips, “other wise you will be paralyzed by the options,” she says. “Think of the way colors relate to each other.” After deciding on her own palette for this year, inspired by the farms, water and sky around her town in autumn, she want to a Benjamin Moore store and selected Evening Dove, Gossamer Blue, Mustard Field and Creamy Custard. The grayish blue related to her great-grandmother’s Wedgwood Queenswar e plates, which are grayish lavender and used for special occasions.

Oliver experiments with new ideas for seasonal decorating and makes sure she has a changing display of flowers and other plants. “I enjoy changing it up. But of course, people also do expect it from me when they come over.”

Here’s a peek at some of Oliver’s projects, with plenty of ideas for getting out of your own autumn decorating rut.

using a Sharpie instead of a brush,” she says. “I drew out my motif and then filled it in freehand.”

CEILING MEDALLION WREATHS The 19th-centur y ceiling medallion in Oliver’s dining room was the inspiration for her front-door wreath. She looked online for PVC copies of period medallions and found a 16-inch-diameter medallion on Amazon. She painted it with three of her Benjamin Moore colors, then sprayed several dozen dried natural wheat stalks with gold paint. She traced the medallion on a piece of cardboard, cut it out and then hot-glued the wheat all around it. The cardboard was glued to the back of the medallion.

In the center, she placed a six-inch Oasis wreath ring with vibur num ber ries, car nations, ilse r oses, seckel pears and greener y.

CENTERPIECE For the rectangular table in her dining room, Oliver demonstrated a long, low-profile ar rangement that she would display for fancier fall occasions. She bought two double-brick plastic floral trays and fitted them both with a pair of wellsoaked Oasis bricks using waterproof tape. She layered in some gr eener y as a base, then used wooden skewers to attach roses in smoky shades: Lavender Latte,

Cof fee Break (ter ra-cotta), Marvel (cream) and T ur tle (yellow).

She added thistles, sunflowers, car nations, hellebores, clematis, viburnum berries and seckle pears.

The result is a lush arrangement of many dif ferent shapes, colors and textures.

“I worked fr om left to right acr oss the ar rangement, being sure to tur n the ar rangement around as I worked, so both sides were balanced, she says. “As you’re working, it’s also impor tant to step away from the arrangement and look at it from a distance. This helps you to see if there are any areas to add pieces. It’s sometimes good to squint your eyes a little to see if you need more ‘pops’ of lighter colored flowers anywhere in the arrangement.”

PLATE WREATH

Oliver wanted to create a focal point on the dining room wall, so she selected some blue and white vintage plates fr om her collection. She attached wire plate hangers on the back of each plate and wired them all onto a 24-inch wire wreath frame. She drilled holes in the painted mini pumpkins and popped a few in the arrangement.

She plans to change those out seasonally, adding boxwood cuttings for December and then succulents for the new year.

PAINTED PUMPKINS Oliver painted a few dozen tiny pumpkins in the four shades she selected. She bought sample-size Benjamin Moore cans (one pint) of each color. She suggests finishing of f the pumpkins with a clear coat of enamel gloss spray paint if you plan to keep them in an unprotected outdoor area. For her blue transfer ware pumpkins, she first painted them chalky white using Glidden General Purpose Primer. Then she switched to a navy blue medium Sharpie to complete her vision. “My experience was that the bumpiness of the pumpkin makes it easier to do a design

What you should ask when thinking about buying a newly constructed house

BY MICHELE LERNER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Model home tours can be a valuable way to get a feel for what it would be like to live in a newly built house, but it’s important to remember that these model homes are also a sales tool meant to entice buyers.

Often, the model includes optional features that will add to the cost of the house. In some cases, things are left out of a model home that could make the house less appealing, such as interior doors that could make the rooms feel smaller and window treatments that are needed for privacy but will reduce the natural light.

Serious buyers need to understand the ramifications of buying a newly built house for their future

and the ongoing value of the proper ty. An on-site salesperson can be a great resource for information on the model homes, lots and plans for the community.

We asked Raylene Lewis, a real estate agent with Centur y 21 Beal in College Station, Texas, who sells new houses as well as existing ones, to share her suggestions for what to ask a salesperson in a model home.

Top questions to ask when touring a model home: 1. Is there a new school proposed and funded for the development?

2. Where do the utilities come from?

3. What has been the price change from when the development began until now?

4. Are there any upcoming zoning changes I need to be aware of?

5. What are the planned neighborhood features, when are they expected to be complete and what will be the HOA fees?

6. What type of warranty do you offer?

7. Is the foundation standard? Is the foundation certified by an engineer?

8. What can I expect my average utilities to be?

9. What will be included on the outside of my house, such as landscaping, gutters, fencing and a sprinkler system?

10. What will be included on the inside of my home, such as window blinds and dif ferent levels of coun-

tertops and flooring?

11. Ar e any builder discount incentives being offered?

12. How many phases will the development have?

13. How many copies of this exact floor plan are in the subdivision?

14. What is the average tur naround time on construction?

15. Will you work with inspectors should I choose to hire a private one to review each stage of constr uction?

16. What is the process when something goes wrong - when I’m not happy with something or when something breaks?

17. Are there any special taxes or fees to pay because this is a new community?

Stop a mattress topper from sliding off your bed by week’s end

BY JEANNE HUBER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Q: I have an expensive, full-size, 3-inch-thick latex mattress topper with a zip cover that is 64 percent polyester and 34 percent cotton. I place a fullsize mattress pad on top that tucks under the mattress on all sides before I put on the sheets. I’m convinced my husband wrestles a bear every night, because within three days, the mattress topper starts to slide over the edge of the mattress along with the mattress pad. By the end of the week, it’s hanging over six inches or more.

I’ve tried putting a nonskid rug pad and a rubber shelf liner under the topper, but neither helped. How do I stop the topper from sliding?

A: You’re not the only one with this problem. The website memor yfoamtalk.com, which of fers buying guides for mattresses and accessories, includes a section with tips on keeping mattress toppers from sliding. “Most people,” it says, have the same problem you face. Another website that focuses on mattresses and accesso-

ries, sleeperssolutions.com, uses the identical words: “Most people” can’t get mattress toppers to stay put.

The issue is similar to what people complain about when they put an area rug on a carpet. The rug inevitably moves, causing wrinkles and bulges.

This happens because the carpet and the padding underneath it provide so much cushioning that when someone walks on the carpet, foot pressure pushes the rug down, causing it to inch toward the pressure point.

With a mattress and mattress topper, putting nonskid rug pads or rubber shelf liner between the two layers can help keep the layers aligned. But as you’ve discovered, a nonskid pad still allows the top layer to move when it is pressed unevenly against the mattress. It’s especially a problem when a heavy sleeper tosses and turns a lot during the night, said Keith Cushner, co-founder of Tuck Sleep (tuck. com), a Seattle company that provides information on sleep science and compiles reviews of sleep products, including mattresses and mattress covers.

(The site, like most other review sites, doesn’t sell products but gets paid by manufactures of products it recommends.)

Cushner said the best solution is to get a mattress topper that comes with straps that wrap around a mattress, such as the ViscoSoft High Density Mattress Topper ($149.99 for queen size at viscosoft.com). Check the picture of this product on the ViscoSoft website to see how you could improvise something similar by attaching sturdy elastic cords at each corner of your mattress topper.

Cushner said people have also reported good results with the Bed Scrunchie ($59.95 from bedscrunchie. com.) This device has clips that slide along a bungie cord that circles the edge of the mattress. You clip the cord to the bottom sheet, install the sheet on the mattress just as you would a fitted bottom sheet, then pull a cord to tighten the elastic band around the mattress. All of the steps can be done from the top, without having to lift the mattress. The setup usually keeps the

sheet, topper and pad in a tight package so that nothing slips off the mattress, Cushner said.

If the Bed Scrunchie is too expensive for your budget, standard clip-on suspenders, also known as bedsheet fasteners, can also work. A set of four Hold On Mattress Clips is $5.99 at Bed Bath & Beyond.). But you would need to lift each corner of the mattress to get the cords in position, which can be a chore if the mattress is heavy.

If a sleeper weighs a lot or is very active at night, Cushner said, the mattress topper might move even with straps in place. In that case, you can tr y to anchor the mattress topper directly to the mattress.

If you don’t plan to flip your mattress over occasionally to even out how it wears, you can use double-stick carpet tape for a permanent connection. To allow for repositioning, use safety pins or Velcro. Use plenty of pins or Velcro strips - perhaps one anchor each foot or foot and a half all SEE TOPPER/PAGE 13

Lessons in shade gardens from a national treasure ADRIAN HIGGINS WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

People see shade in the garden as a curse because it cuts down on the flower display, but a cultivated woodland garden is about as sublime a place as I can imagine.

To succeed, the woodland garden needs the following: a deer fence; wide, comfortable paths; anti-erosion measures; a canopy that is not overly dense; an absence of weeds, including thuggish vines; and a layering of plants. The last translates as a community of understory trees and shrubs and a ground layer of herbaceous plants that will form a composition of textures and sur faces. If you’re seeing soil or mulch, you haven’t planted enough.

Another important feature is a path that circles through the woods so that you create a journey that is not repeated. You don’t need acres of land to achieve all this, just a vision and a determination to make it happen (plus some dough).

A person with such a vision was Edith Bittinger, a name now lost to subsequent generations of Washingtonians but who, 60 years ago, led the effort to car ve out Fern Valley at the U.S. National Arboretum. Fern Valley is, admittedly, more than a patch. The woods occupy about four acres, but the principles of woodland gardening transcend the scale.

Bittinger thought big. She led an army of volunteers, mostly women, who took an overgrown, existing stand of hardwoods and created the components I mentioned. The garden was a joint project of the National Capital Area Garden Clubs and the arboretum, the horticultural research arm of the U.S. Agriculture Department. The partners arranged for some serious additional infrastructure - bridges, steps and rustic benches and a 60-ton lime-

along the perimeter of the mattress.

Curved safety pins are easier than standard safety pins to push through a surface such as a mattress cover where you can’t apply pressure from the back.

stone wall - that added much additional character to the place.

Such a garden sucks up plants, and at its dedication in May 1960, Bittinger and her cohorts tallied the numbers.

Seventy workers from 21 area garden clubs had planted 4,000 ferns of 47 species, and 2,000 native herbaceous plants representing 90 species. That was just for starters. At the time, Bittinger was 85.

Beyond its creation, the establishment of this shaded pleasure garden set the tone for civic Washington to convince the USDA that the arboretum should be more than just a research farm. Most of the decorative gardens and attractions at the arboretum arrived after Fern Valley.

“These women had a clear focus and wanted to create something. That garden caused the arboretum to be seen in a different way,” said Cherie Lejeune, president of the garden club organization. Today, it represents 65 garden clubs in the greater Washington area.

Bittinger came to it as a connoisseur of hardy ferns, and in its early days Fern Valley more closely resembled the northern forest of her native New England. Original plantings of white pine and hemlocks have faded, and the dominant trees are white and chestnut oaks, tulip poplar and American beeches. In addition to its northern plants, it is organized to present flora from the Mid-Atlantic ecosystems. The garden also features an adjoining meadow, but that was for another day.

I asked its curator, Joan Feely, to show me some of the ground-layer plants, recognizing that this was the end of the growing season and such gardens look their perkiest in the spring, when the phlox is ablaze, the trilliums are up, and the deciduous azaleas add their floral grace notes. I was also mindful that we had been weeks without rain, and even with irrigation,

a woodland garden this year isn’t going to go out in a blaze of color and vigor.

The idea of “forest bathing” or replenishing the soul in a woodland walk is trendy, but a stroll through Fern Valley is simply a reminder that ‘twas ever thus. Mothers take their small children here just to connect them to nature, Lejeune said.

The other value in such a place is in discovering just how many wonderful varieties of wildflowers, grasses and ferns are available to the woodland gardener, and how limited is the common plant palette.

The upper reaches, near the entrance, have seen tree loss in recent years and the brighter light has made New England and calico asters and various goldenrods happy but such shade lovers as sedges not so content. Ferns remain a staple of the garden, and once they are established by formative pampering, they are happy in tough locations, Feely said. “There are some wonderful ferns that grow at the base of beech trees,” she said, pointing to the Christmas fern, evergreen but prone to lie flat after a hard freeze. A little farther along are whole drifts of the hardy but deciduous native ginger, Asarum canadense, which spreads assertively in rich humus but is easily controlled.

“Sedges are just amazing,” Feely said. “They can do anything if you have the right sedge.”

If you want fine textures, Carex pensylvanica and C. eburnea fit the bill beautifully. The former spreads by stolons, the latter is a more obedient clumper.

The black-stemmed white wood aster was putting out the last of its little daisies. “It’s nicely drought tolerant and spreads where you need it to go,” she said.

There are some lingering but flowerless jewelweeds, which have a tendency to invade wet areas. Again, they can

be easily removed, but leaving a few offers a fueling station to southbound hummingbirds in September.

The lacy fronds of the maidenhair fer n, which are still looking good, “sweeten up the soil a little,” and Feely drew my attention to a neighboring clump of the broad beech fern. “It’s not quite indestructible but does well,” she said, pointing out that all the fronds are aligned in a flat plane except the base pair, which spread in different directions.

On the other side of the path, a clump of waterleaf (Hydrophyllum canadense) was thriving against a tree stump. It resembles heuchera in its eye-catching lobed leaves but will grow in wet areas that would quickly doom the heuchera. In the vicinity was the star-flowered Solomon’s seal (Smilacina stellata), about half the size of the more common false Solomon’s seal and “a nice tough ground cover,” Feely said.

One other plant stuck in my mind: a southern species of hawthorn named parsley hawthorn for its foliage shape.

So few species of this lovely small tree seem to do well in heat and humidity, but here the old, sinewy Crataegus marshallii was stretching to a gap in the canopy.

These woods are full of such unexpected treasures, and its narrative is a lesson in the enduring power of community foresight and action. “It’s not a fair y tale,” Lejeune said. “It’s a great, true story.”

Gardening tip: Examine houseplants and tropicals before bringing them indoors and discard any that are full of whitefly, scale, mealybugs or other tenacious pests.

Keepers can be sprayed outdoors with a light horticultural oil or insecticidal soap. Soaking pots in a tub for an hour or two will dislodge soil-dwelling pests such as ants.

(Joann Fabrics and Crafts (joann.com) sells a package of 40 curved Size 2 size pins (11/2 inches long) for $3.99.But pins may tear the fabric if a heavy sleeper tosses a lot, Cushner said.

Velcro with an adhesive backing eliminates the risk of tears, but it can lose some of its grip over time and might need to be replaced, Cushner said. Velcro Sticky Back for Fabrics ($3.95 on

Amazon for a 2-foot-long roll 3/4-inch wide) is easy to apply. The adhesive gunks up scissors, so cut sections three or four inches long with a utility knife pressed against a cutting board. (When you’re done, replace the blade.) The instructions say to wait 24 hours before applying full pressure, so you might want to install the strips just before you head out on an overnight trip.

If the adhesive on the Velcro eventually loosens to the nightly tug-of-war, you can sew on strips that don’t have adhesive backing. Get new sew-on Velcro, though, because if a needle picks up adhesive when you sew through the old Velcro, it will quickly become too tacky to push through fabric. To sew to the mattress, use a curved needle, sold at fabric stores.

Move over, islands: Kitchen tables are making a comeback this year

BY MICHELLE BRUNNER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Growing up, there was one place to be after ever y holiday meal: my grandma’s kitchen table.

It was a hub of activity and chatter that went far beyond divvying up leftovers and discussing who should get the last slice of pie. Stories were swapped, highballs were dr unk, and cards were played. If a piece of furniture could evoke a sense of family and community, the table was it.

Helen Parker, cr eative dir ector of deVOL kitchens, has similar warm memories of this once-essential piece of fur niture: “My dad would sit at the kitchen table and get out books, or look at stamps and use it as a place to continue hanging out; it was so much more than just a place to eat,” she says.

Lately, a handful of designers and tastemakers are embracing the old-fashioned table as a homier alter native to the ubiquitous island. Cabinetr y companies such as deVOL and Plain English have launched U.S. showrooms to an over whelmingly positive response in the past year, and their advertising often features images of kitchens with tables front and center.

The spaces pr esent a cozy and inviting antidote to overly sleek kitchens with tricked-out islands.

There’s a reason that “gathered around the island” doesn’t have the same nostalgic ring as “gathered around the table.”

“A table has a domestic warmth to it that an island doesn’t,” says New York interior designer Steven Gambrel. “The way a casual outfit encourages a laid-back vibe and black-tie dress creates a formal tone, the same is true of an island,” he says. “When an island is built-in and matches the cabinets, it has a stif f, immobile presence. It doesn’t

have the same sense of ease as a wooden table that’s got some age.”

For Parker, adding a vintage table is a way to create a more authentic, eclectic vibe. “All of those matching par ts don’t feel as soulful as when you have great big table with a bunch of flowers where the kids can do their homework,” she says.

Gambrel also cites lightness as a par t of a table’s appeal. “Your eye sees under a table because the legs raise it of f the ground; it feels more air y and less contrived than an island, which can feel bulky and dated,” he says. Part of the problem in Parker’s opinion is the temptation for homeowners to fit ever ything and the kitchen sink into the island. “It’s become a big box with too many appliances, stools, and a garbage bin; it ends up not being an aesthetically pleasing piece of furniture,” she says.

But the fully loaded island has a tight grip on America’s imagination. When people talk about the hear t of the kitchen today, they’re often refer ring to this multifunctional monolith. A recent Houzz sur vey estimated that 38 percent of kitchen remodels involved adding an island (that doesn’t include all of the homes that already have one).

Some trend forecasters even predict that we’ll see a rise in the popularity of double islands in future years.

According to Home Advisor, the average cost of a kitchen island is $3,000 to $5,000, though custombuilt options can be $10,000 or more. Of course, not ever y kitchen can accommodate a built-in island.

For older houses with small or galley-style cookspaces, planning for an island involves opening up a wall or bumping out the back, which can increase renovation costs dramatically. In these situations, a small- to

medium-size table can be a practical and affordable solution, offering comparable prep space. A solid pine table from Ikea will set you back just $99, while an antiqued elm one with a distressed metal base from Restoration Hardware star ts at $1,095.

If you’re in the market for a tr uly unique vintage piece, 1st dibs has an Italian oak farm table with geometric inlay for $4,000.

The earliest islands were humble work tables placed in the center of the kitchen. If you were wealthy, it was where ser vants orchestrated dinner - think of the downstairs buzz of “Downton Abbey.” If you weren’t, it was where you sat to peel potatoes or roll out pie crust, often in solitude, because the kitchen was probably cut of f from the rest of the house. It wasn’t until the mid-20th centur y that the open kitchen and built-in island arrived, promising to make women’s lives easier.

“The iconic suburban image of the command-post kitchen where the woman of the house could do her work and obser ve the kids really resonated in 1950s America,” says Sarah Leavitt, curator at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. “The idea was to build this concept of family and together ness right into the actual architecture and design of the house.”

While the island was an aspirational symbol of moder n housekeeping, it was mostly a product of postwar new constr uction for suburban single-family homes. It gained momentum thr ough the 1960s and ‘70s but didn’t become a mainstream design element until the 1980s and ‘90s, when open-plan kitchens became the rage, buoyed by the popularity of the Food Network and HGTV. Suddenly, the island wasn’t just

a prep space, but also a stage to per form for your guests, though visibility has its drawbacks. “If you have a big island that’s open to the rest of the house and you’re tr ying to sit in the living room, you’re likely staring at dir ty dishes,” Leavitt says. “It looks nice when it’s clean, but given the potential for mess, it’s surprising that it continues to have widespread appeal.”

One irony of the island is that it’s come to epitomize casual living, yet bellying up to one isn’t always easy or comfor table. A counterheight stool often lacks adequate suppor t for longer stretches of sitting. “There’s just something nicer about relaxing into a proper chair and being able to spread out at a table,” Parker says.

Another downside: Br eakfast bar-style seating often forces ever yone to eat facing the same direction - fine for a quick bite on-the-go, but not exactly great for connecting with one another. “If you have a big island, as soon as the meal is over, ever yone disperses; you don’t quite congregate in the same way,” she says.

Islands also tend to put guests on one side, leaving the person doing the work standing alone on the other, which can sometimes feel like an imbalance of power. At a communal table, ever yone can pull up a chair and occupy equal space.

“It’s a question of, ‘Why does one thing feel good and not the other?’

And it comes down to being honest about the way we actually live vs. the way we think we should live,” Gambrel says. “When you experience an easy house where someone likes to cook and entertain, and they ser ve you cof fee at the table and there’s music playing, it resonates with you; naturally, you’d want to emulate that.”

How to seat a crowd when space and money are tight

BY MARI-JANE WILLIAMS WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Q: We’d love advice on adding more seating to our family room. We love the large windows and comfor table space to read, relax and watch TV. But when we have friends over for a dinner, there’s not enough places to sit before we move to the dining room. I’d love your advice on how to add more seating.

A: You are not alone. When space is at a premium (or the budget is tight), it can be tough to find creative ways to accommodate guests comfortably. To get some ideas, I spoke to Brian Patrick Flynn, a designer and television producer who is the founder and president of Flynnside Out Productions in Atlanta. Here’s what he said.

Think big: First off, though it may seem counterintuitive, Flynn says to go as big as possible when choosing pieces for a small space. In a 12-by14-foot living area, for example, a large sectional can be the per fect way to include lots of seating.

“If you use a lot of small stuff, it can feel kind of piecey and cut up,” says Flynn, whose work has been featured on HGTV. “A sectional adds less things to a room and makes it seem less cluttered and more open.” Modular seating is particularly useful for growing families. A sectional with pieces that can be added and removed will better

adjust to fit your needs at dif ferent stages of your life.

Forget the armchairs: When choosing chairs for a small room, Flynn suggests looking for something without arms, such as a slipper chair, because it will take up less visual space and make the room feel larger.

Don’t get matchy-matchy: Go with pieces that feel coordinated but aren’t a matched set, Flynn says, to make the space look as though it was decorated thoughtfully over time, rather than during a single trip to a big-box furniture store.

Play with textures and patterns: Flynn prefers neutral colors on larger furniture, such as sofas and sectionals, bringing in interest with texture instead. He suggests considering linen, wool boucle or aged leather for upholstered pieces. If you want to add some color or pattern to your space, experiment with fabrics on upholstered dining chairs, which have a much smaller surface area and aren’t as overwhelming as, say, a plaid sectional would be. Storage ottomans are another place to sneak in a bright color or bold pattern without it taking over the space, and they can do double duty as a coffee table or extra seating.

Pay attention to what’s inside: Ideally, you will be able to test pieces by actually sitting on them in a store before buying. But it’s hard to resist

the convenience - and in some cases the prices - of online retailers. Whether you are buying in person or from a website, Flynn suggests paying careful attention to the material used in cushions on upholstered pieces. Cushions stuffed with poly-fill tend to be ver y stiff initially and don’t hold up over time, tending to give and sag, Flynn says. He recommends choosing furniture with down or down-poly blend filling, which will have more cushion from the start and last longer. But if you’re looking for a quick solution for a dorm room or a short-term apartment, it may make sense to go with a poly-filled cushion, because they tend to be cheaper than down-filled options.

Flynn identified three par ticularly versatile - and maybe unexpected - pieces that can boost your family room’s seating capacity, and recommended a few stylish options in each category. Here are his picks.

Extra dining-area seating can also add options for accommodating guests. Flynn likes stackable chairs that don’t look like the standard metal or plastic seats we have all seen in schools and meeting spaces. They can be stashed in a closet and pulled out for extra seating anywhere you need it.

He suggests Linco solid wood dining chairs ($74.99 each) and Sling dining chairs ($199 each), both from AllModern.

“Never underestimate the power of the pouf,” Flynn says. He likes them because they are relatively inexpensive, small and versatile. And though 10 years ago they were fairly limited to shaggy or bohemian styles, they now come in lots of styles, colors and materials to fit any design aesthetic.

He suggests grouping several poufs in front of a sofa, where they can be used as a coffee table or pulled apart for seating when you are entertaining. Or have a couple stashed under a console table that you can pull out when you need them.

Flynn likes the Koby sphere pouf ($67.99) and the Bolin leather pouf ($155.99), both available at Wayfair.

Finally, Flynn says banquettes and other armless three-seaters can transform a wall in your home that otherwise might be wasted space. They can be used as comfor table seating for conversation. You can also try pairing them with a small dining table to create a gaming area, breakfast nook or craft space in your family room. Custom is always ideal, he says, to get the best fit and maximize your space. But retailers also sell standard upholstered banquettes.

Flynn suggests the Sawyer straight-back tufted linen upholstered bench ($706.04) and the Cuenca love seat bench ($425.60), both from Overstock.

How to shoot photos of your home like a pro

BY MICHELE LERNER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Whether you’re showcasing your home for a short-term or long-term rental, or to sell it, great photos are essential to attract attention online. We asked Alyssa Rosenheck , a photographer, home stylist and author of the forthcoming book “The New Southern,” about how anyone can take better photos of their home.

Rosenheck shared the following suggestions for amateur photographers to improve their home photos:

Level up: A classic rookie mistake is expecting superstar results from holding the camera by hand. My tip: Invest in a simple tripod for your DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera) or an attachment for your camera phone.

Straight lines are like oxygen for clean imagery. The viewer’s eye immediately catches and focuses on any crooked lines. But straight lines - horizontal and vertical - will create a chorus among the composition that sings. Hence, the need to level up and have a tripod.

Think about the lens figuratively

and literally: First, set an intention through your own personal and emotional lens. Each room has an energy and story to tell. This is your chance to share the story of the spaces that have supported you and continue to inspire your path. Second, invest in both a good prime and wide-angle lens. One of my favorite prime angle lenses is a 50 mm because this lens is most representative of what your natural eye sees. My goal as a photographer is to communicate the stillness of space while transporting you into the room

with me as I experience it.

A prime lens means you have a fixed focal length, which really motivates you to move around the space and find the perfect frame for the shot.

Wide-angle lenses are impor tant in capturing the scale of a space. Renting lenses is a great way to try out a variety and see which feels most natural to you. And for phone photographers, there is a variety of affordable wideangle lens accessories for on-the-go.

Tiny tiles are making a big comeback, with a modern twist

BY MICHELLE BRUNNER WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

Beloved for their old-fashioned charm, small mosaic tiles are resonating with homeowners who want floors that are uniquely patter ned and boldly expressive. From itty-bitty hexagons to miniature squares, tiny tiles are back in a big way.

“Mosaics are appealing because they can adapt to dif ferent period styles and can be used in so many applications; they’re both timeless and versatile,” says Keith Bieneman, owner of Heritage Tile in Oak Park, Illinois. “They’re also wildly photogenic.”

He’s not kidding: Intricately tiled floors have been on the upswing in recent years, thanks in large par t to the Instagram account @ihavethisthingwithfloors. Star ted by three Dutch friends who share a fondness for taking pictures of their footwear against striking floor patterns, the feed curates images of marzipanhued mosaics from all over the world. For over 812,000 followers, the timeworn entries of old hotels and hat shops from Lisbon to Los Angeles ser ve as a reminder to look down and appreciate the histor y beneath your feet.

U n s u r p r i s i n g l y, h o m e o w n e r s want to bring the bespoke, vintage feel of the eye-catching tile they see on social media into their own homes. That some of these mosaics look as if they require an advanced degree in mathematics and an abundance of time to lay out only adds to their allure.

“There’s definitely an appreciation for the way things used to be made,” says Erin Oliver, vice president of Little Rock, Arkansas-based American Restoration Tile. “Mosaics aren’t fast and they don’t look like ever ything else on the market.”

According to Bieneman, mosaic tile first became popular in the United States in the late 1800s, when plumbing came indoors and the need for a sanitar y surface became

paramount for germ-obsessed Victorians. Por celain flooring was impor ted fr om England, but as demand for indoor restrooms grew, American manufacturers star ted to produce smaller unglazed porcelain tiles. Soon basket weave, penny-round and hex designs became ubiquitous in homes. In commercial buildings, such as taverns and pharmacies, the mosaics grew more decorative, as the countr y transitioned from the Victorian era to the ar ts and crafts, ar t nouveau and ar t deco periods. Tile production peaked in the late 1920s, and then the Great Depression hit and many factories shuttered. “Amazingly, we’re now discovering patter ns in old catalogues that were never even produced,” Bieneman says.

Most of the tile work Oliver is seeing today could be classified as traditional with a twist. “People are tr ying a newer look using the old materials,” she says. “For instance, they want flat hex tiles, but instead of black and white, we’ll see more moder n color combos like blues and grays.”

To bring an authentic Old World feel to a home in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood, designer Jessica Helgerson used hex tiles in an ar ray of poppy hues. “The client was a young family with a real love for color, and the idea of small mosaics felt historically appropriate for the house,” she says.

Designer Allison T ick took a similar approach for the attic bath of a Stanford White house in Tuxedo Park, New York, where she used mosaic tile to pay homage to the home’s stately architecture.

“The custom patter n is intended to enhance the rounded shape of the room and invoke the historical nature of the house,” she says.

But not all tile installations make a statement through color and pattern choice; some spell it out - literally. The typography trend, which star ted with hotels and restaurants

tr ying to emulate old-timey signage, has crossed over into residential design, with homeowners using tile as a form of self-expression.

In a foyer, designer Bria Hammel used gray and white hex tile to craft a playful greeting. “Writing ‘hello’ was a way to add some whimsy to a classic entr y,” she says. The space also features a custom gray border that flows into the adjacent powder room. Hammel admits getting the type right was a challenge. “We had limited options on the font style since the script needed to look fluid and be easily readable,” she says.

Oliver says she’s obser ved an increase in front entries that feature monograms and salutations, which is especially surprising in housing markets with frequent tur nover.

“If you embed your initials in the front entr yway of your home, you’re definitely making a commitment to staying there,” she says. “When people want something highly personalized, I recommend doing the house number because the address isn’t likely to change. It’s a good way to put your mark on your home without the risk of losing resale value.”

Whether you’re using tile to create a simple border or something more elaborate such as say, a pixelated Persian rug, there are a few basics to keep in mind. Historical reproduction tiles lie totally flat, so they’re flush with the grout. Typically, made-to-order custom porcelain mosaics from both American Restoration Tile and Heritage Tile r un between $25 and $30 per square foot, and that price includes design ser vices. Many massproduced porcelain mosaics are considerably less expensive. For example, a sheet of matte black and white hex mosaic with a snowflake design star ts at $6.75 per square foot at Home Depot. Pattern and color choices are limited, however, and these tiles often have beveled edges, which result in a

raised sur face when installed. If you want your floor to look like an entr yway or bath from 100 years ago, you’ll probably want to opt for flat tile.

Many companies will let you select colors and cr eate a custom design using a computer grid on their website. Still, some creative homeowners pr efer a DIY approach, especially when it comes to playing around with typography or doing a simple color change.

Watch HGTV for any extended period and you’ve probably seen someone manually pop out individual tiles from an adhesive-backed sheet and swap in a dif ferent color as an inexpensive way to customize mosaics. While this method works, it can be time-consuming; some companies will do it for you at no additional cost. “Our pricing is based on complexity of pattern, so it doesn’t increase for color changes,” Oliver says.

If you happen to be a lucky homeowner with a vintage porcelain mosaic still intact, don’t fret if you spy a crack. Because tile production was standardized for many years in the United States, it’s likely you’ll be able to find replacements in the right size and color to restore the floor. “Our historical palette has matches for ever ything that was available from 1885 to 1940,” Oliver says.

Outside repairing the occasional crack, there isn’t a ton of maintenance involved in preser ving an unglazed porcelain mosaic floor.

Because porcelain is imper vious to water, stains and temperature changes, it’s a durable and practical choice for high-traf fic areas.

“If you look at any 100-year-old tile floor, you’ll see a natural patina that comes from wear, and that patina becomes a protective coat,” Oliver says. “That’s why all these beautiful tiles have been around for over a centur y; they’ve stood the test of time.”

Ambitious plans to combat affordability crisis draw criticism

BY HAISTEN WILLIS WASHINGTON POST FEATURES

ATLANTA — Meshell North is stuck.

A lifelong Atlanta resident, information technology worker and grandmother of four, North resides in an apartment on the city’s northwest side. She’d like to move into a house, but the prices stand out of her reach.

“I can’t afford to move out,” said North, who rented a house before the Great Recession and then was forced to leave when its owner entered foreclosure. “I’ve been looking for houses to rent, and there are so many scams out there. The houses you do see ask an arm and a leg for a garage. It’s crazy out there.”

As in many other cities across the nation, Atlanta’s housing costs are rising fast, so much so that many middle- and lower-income residents are forced to leave because they can’t keep up with them. The problem has reached such a crisis level here that Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, a Democrat, pledged $1 billion toward creating or preserving 20,000 affordable housing units by 2026, with half the money from public funds and half from private.

Bottoms isn’t alone.

District of Columbia Mayor Muriel Bowser, a Democrat, issued an aggressive promise for her tenure — 36,000 new units by 2025, 12,000 of them affordable. She challenged her counterparts in suburban Maryland and Northern Virginia to build 240,000 more over the same time frame.

In 2017, San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a Democrat, set a goal to build 25,000 new homes by 2023, 10,000 of them rent-subsidized, and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, aims to create or preserve 300,000 affordable units by 2026.

Yet the ambitious plans from coast to coast are facing mounting criticism. Some housing advocates assert that officials in the cities don’t fully grasp the scope of the problem and aren’t moving quickly enough to address it.

And with the mayors offering little specifics on how they would generate the revenue to finance their goals, other experts say they worry that the numbers and time frame put forward may be empty promises.

Atlanta’s plan “talks about coming up with new revenue sources but doesn’t

name them or put a dollar figure on them,” said Dan Immergluck, a professor in the Urban Studies Institute at Georgia State University in Atlanta. “There’s not a commitment for new city money.”

He urges Atlanta to take bolder and more specific actions, including approving $250 million in bonds, dedicating hotel/ motel taxes toward affordable housing and raising property taxes.

••• Inland cities in the South like Atlanta have long been viewed as cheaper alternatives to coastal metros. Yet in some Atlanta neighborhoods, more than 72% of residents are rent-burdened, which the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines as spending more than 30% of one’s income on housing. In 2015, 22% of Fulton County’s renting households received an eviction notice.

City leaders are particularly focused on Atlanta households earning below 60% of area median income (AMI), or roughly $28,000 for an individual. Their strategies include building units on publicly owned vacant land, rehabilitating units where people already live, upzoning for duplexes, triplexes and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), easing parking requirements and ensuring that landlords accept housing vouchers.

“Our population has increased by over 17%, but that’s not enough,” said Terri Lee, Atlanta’s first chief housing officer. She added that growth is great for the city, but not if it means longtime residents must leave. “We have to do things to preserve the opportunity for our existing residents to stay here.”

It’s an ambitious plan, but, to Immergluck, a vague one.

For example, the city hasn’t set yearly increments to reach the 20,000 figure, he said.

While he agrees with Bottoms’s overall goals, Immergluck said he wishes the city were moving faster.

“We’re seven years into this affordable housing crisis,” he said. “These ideas have been floating around for a long time, yet there’s no legislation. Where are the ordinances?”

For residents like North, the need for quick action stands paramount. Yet North also knows she’s lucky. Rent in her build-

ing has risen only incrementally over the years, $50 or so at a time. She makes $18 an hour and knows many friends and relatives, including her daughter and grandchildren, who’ve been forced out of the city by escalating prices. Her daughter’s family slept in a hotel for more than a year before finally settling in a suburban Clayton County duplex. It’s a long drive for them to visit northwest Atlanta, with no yard for the grandchildren to enjoy upon arrival.

“People are coming in and remodeling houses, then putting them back up for sale,” North said, estimating that homes near her unit off Highway 78 rent for at least $950 per month, $1,200 for a nicer place. “If they’re going to do that, they need to provide some kind of program to help people buy those houses and have them be affordable.”

••• Other cities face their own issues.

With four years to go, San Jose stands more than 9,000 units short of reaching 10,000 affordable homes by 2023. The city reports 946 affordable units complete or under construction, with an additional 2,441 in the pipeline.

Funding is a major concern. San Jose’s housing director, Jacky Morales-Ferrand, estimates that more than $520 million is needed to meet the city’s 10,000-unit goal.

Apartment rents in San Jose grew 50% between 2010 and 2018, with the median now $2,600 per month for a two-bedroom unit.

One conundrum is that it costs cities more to house very-low-income earners — the lower the income, the more subsidy needed for housing. But because of high land costs in California, developers need high rents to justify building expenses.

San Jose remains largely suburban in character and aims for more downtown residential high-rises, more ADUs and more down-payment assistance for firsttime buyers.

“No solution is off the table,” said Morales-Ferrand. The city has earmarked nearly $100 million toward affordable housing projects over the next several years and hopes to accelerate the pace of its program as 2023 approaches.

From a pure numbers standpoint, the most ambitious mayoral goal is de Blasio’s

300,000 affordable units created or preserved in New York by 2026. It’s a large figure even for a place with more than 8 million residents.

However, the Association for Neighborhood & Housing Development, a Manhattan-based tenants advocacy group, argues that simply targeting a number may be the wrong approach.

“Any goal that centers around a unit count is concerning,” said Emily Goldstein, the association’s director of organizing and advocacy. “A simple unit count isn’t always the best way to measure whether we’re actually addressing the needs of New Yorkers who are most at risk of displacement or homelessness.”

Goldstein favors metrics such as reductions in homelessness or rent-burdened households, which “get closer to the heart of how people are actually experiencing the affordability crisis.” The vast majority of the need is at the lowest end of the spectrum, she said, which is not where the majority of resources are going.

Instead, as New York and other major cities continue drawing new residents and educated young professionals, Goldstein said it’s important to ensure that longtime residents can choose to stay.

“Folks are being priced out, and they’ve seen their neighborhoods priced out,” she said. “They want to have the option to feel secure in their home and stay in a community where they’ve been for decades. Their church, their doctor, their friends and their family is there. No one should have to pick up and move unless they actually want to go.”

Meanwhile, in Southeast Washington, some residents in the Congress Heights neighborhood aren’t waiting for the city to act. Residents at Savannah Apartments recently joined forces with the Douglass Community Land Trust, which is buying the building with the goal of keeping the 65 units affordable rentals and preventing developers from converting them into condos.

Land trust officials said they hope to use that approach elsewhere in the city.

“I guess we would be the guinea pigs,” Savannah resident Tiffany Jessup told The Washington Post, adding that the move will allow residents to “stay in a place we have called home.”

Let there be light: Natural light, that is. I find this is essential for capturing the most accurate representation of a room as possible. It is camera vs. eye, and not all cameras are created equal, especially in comparison to the vast dynamic range of our eyes. I am known for bright, crisp images, so it always surprises my clients and followers when I methodically flip of f all light switches as we begin photographing a space. It may be counterintuitive, but it yields the most accurate representation of the room’s color and all the beauty within it.

Be a straight shooter: I am a back-to-basics kind of woman in ever y area of my life, especially when it comes to angles behind the lens. Let’s keep things simple and shoot straight-on. This will yield beautiful, clean lines and communicate the composition of the space.

Overly complicated angles result in fussy images and confusing focal points.

Layer on: An image is technically flat, but what makes it come to life with great dimension are its “layers.” The rooms you are shooting need to communicate to the viewer. So, tangibly, there needs to be an element of visual texture to the space for it to have dimension. Ways to add layers include decorative tabletop accessories, mir rors, layered ar twork leaning against a wall, layered r ugs, textur e-rich thr ows and fabrics, and flowers picked from the garden. Pro tip: Leave the red roses at the store and stick with a neutral color palette such as whites, green and blushes. This color palette will keep an image fresh and attainable without being seasonspecific.

Prop with proof of life: When styling for shoots, I add an element of practical fantasy to each space, but it’s impor tant to keep it as natural and minimally invasive as possible. I call this “proof of life.” Use it as an oppor tunity to highlight the histor y of the home or honor the character of the client. Some of my favorite tools for introducing proof of life are an open book on a desk,

ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE 23

fresh florals on a kitchen counter, branches to add textural layers to a bedroom, a simple necklace coming out of a jewelr y dish to showcase depth, or fruit falling from a bowl as an element of interest.

Keep composition simple: I find composition to be much more impor tant than the camera you have in your hand. It enables the space’s stor y to be told through object arrangement and placement. I can

communicate a par ticular object of interest through my focal point or, alternatively, introduce a moment of relief by emphasizing the negative space. There are numerous theories behind composition, but at a basic level, your goal should always be to achieve straight lines, balanced layers and let the rule of thirds guide your lens. (The rule guides photographers to place the main subject of f-center.)
