As Winter is finally winding down and we lookforward to the days growing longer and warmer,homeowners have the perfect opportunity to assessthe exterior of their homes.

Does Your Home Need a Facelift?If you’ve decided the exterior of your home is in

need of a facelift, the premier option to consider isa spray on coating applied by Final Coat Exteriors.

Before permanent coatings were available, con-sumers had the choice of either paint orvinyl/aluminum siding for their homes. Paint, whileflexible and affordable, is a temporary solution to aperpetual maintenance problem.

In recent years, homeowners are requiring reappli-cation after just three to five years. While paint usedto last up to ten years, the EPA has clamped downremoving lead, mercury and other heavy metals,

leaving a safer environment for our children, buthigher maintenance costs for our homes. Vinyl, onthe other hand, offers a more permanent solution, butcomes in limited choices and often gaps, fades orbecomes a nesting ground for insects and other pests.In addition, vinyl cannot be used to cover all exteriorsurfaces, including handrails, spindles and posts.

Blends the Appearance of Fresh Paint with the Durability of Vinyl SidingIt took years to bring this technology to the home-

owner community, but a new industry is here to givethe homeowner a better choice. Tex-Cote®, whichhas applied its product to major corporations, govern-ment buildings and historical monuments since 1961,has the ability to meld the appearance of fresh paintand the durability of vinyl siding. It combines resins,polymers, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide to form a

coating 10-20 times thicker than paint, is environ-mentally friendly and meets or exceeds all EPAstandards. Final Coat Exteriors, the exclusive Tex-Cote® dealer for the state of New Jersey, offers thecoating in 1,500 colors in both smooth and texturedfor those who want a stucco or grainy look.

Guarantees and Special TrainingFinal Coat Exteriors, New Jersey and

Pennsylvania’s authorized Tex-Cote® dealer, is hereto help homeowners “Stop Painting Forever.” Tex-Cote®, guarantees its products will not blister,chip, flake or fade and backs up the promise with alimited lifetime warranty on product and labor.

ROUTE 113 HERITAGE

CORRIDOR PROJECT UNDERWAY

Spanning more than 30 miles andtraversing Bucks and Montgomerycounties, the Route 113 corridorbegan as a transportation and cultural link to the Germanic farming communities surroundingPhiladelphia from the DelawareRiver to the Schuylkill River.Reflecting the historic towns,rolling hills and green lands of itspast, today this important arterialroadway is under significant pressure from advancing suburban-ization.

Heritage Conservancy is workingto develop and implement a jointBucks/Montgomery County proj-ect to assist landowners withPennsylvania Farmland ProtectionProgram applications, raise aware-ness and offer land stewardship and sustainability options for “post preservation” designed to preserve the viability of farming and farmland.

POSITIVE OUTLOOK

FOR HOMEBUYERS

“Although we don’t know until 4 or5 months out that a bottom hasbeen reached, most of our buildershave adjusted to the reality of cur-rent conditions and are runningtheir businesses in accordance withchallenges presented,” says DavidBrandschain, president of HomeBuilders Association (HBA) ofBucks & Montgomery Counties.“The Fed has steadily reducedshort-term rates and long termsseem to be following in lock step.With these rates, more qualifiedbuyers are poised to re-enter themarket. In short, now is the time topurchase a home.”

Wayne Norris, regional salesdirector, Hanley Wood Market

Intelligence, concurs. “I can’t pre-dict when the slowdown will end,but I can see that Montgomery andBucks counties are showing realsigns of a turnaround,” says Norris.“This area’s sales volume was up 18percent in September and Octobercompared to 2006. Almost half ofthe unit increase is due to condo-minium sales, yet townhouses anddetached homes are up by morethan 10 percent.

“Showing such a gain across allproduct lines may be the mostencouraging part of the news,” con-tinues Norris. “The two countieshave 37 new projects that openedwithin the past 12 months and salesper project were up 5 percent inSeptember and October.Speculative inventory levels areabove 50 percent in both countiesand, with buyers getting seriousagain, I expect these figures to dropsignificantly in upcoming months.I think we can look forward to anactive spring selling season,” con-cludes Norris.

Based on activity this fall, JoeDeLuca, principal, DeLuca Homes,agrees. “The mortgage crisis in latesummer kicked the feet out the realestate market,” he notes. “Nowpeople are coming to terms withthe situation and there is a definiteup tick at our communities. Wehad better traffic in October andNovember and the conversion ratewas up, as well.”

For the most part, active adultdevelopments continue to thrive.John Grierson, president, PulteHomes Delaware Valley, says hiscompany experienced a positivetrend at The Reserve at Gwynedd,its 55+ Del Webb community ofsingles, condos and garden homes.In addition, he saw good traffic andsales at Bedminster Square.

Eadding a pool cancreate a vacationdestination in yourown backyard

POOLS

Extended outdoor living space isone of the best reasons to install apool, says Ray Calvitti, local ownerand president, Blue Haven Pools &Spas, which operates in 75 offices,coast to coast. It’s the reason Pauland Anna Muller of Newtown, PAdecided to call the company. Theywere already familiar with BlueHaven, which created a pool forPaul’s parents. They were excited tohave one that they could call their own.

“We decided it was either a newpool or a basement renovation,”says Anna. “We chose the pool and

it was the right decision.”As expected, the pool has

enhanced their outdoor living spacetremendously. “We love to enter-tain,” says Anna. “Many of ourfriends and family have kids andthey love coming over to enjoy the pool.”

Of course, the pool is also a nicespot for quiet days. “It’s been greatto relax out there,” she says. “Wehave a pavilion area with a TV andwe enjoy sitting outside.”

SPECIAL FEATURES

falls: one in the shallow end andone in the deep end. The free-formshape spa seats between 12 and 14 people.

“We have a huge rock wall with adiving board,” says Anna. “And thepool has a quartz finish on the bot-tom, which adds a nice touch.”

All special features can be customdesigned for a specific pool, saysCalvitti. That includes everythingfrom waterfalls, limestone deckingand interior pool finishes. Thecompany also offers a variety oflighting options including LED,fiber optics and additional tech-nologies which will illuminate thepool and special features, such aswaterfalls. Everything can be con-trolled at the push of a button.

Tom and Emily Cannell of Amblerwere also looking for a pool thatwould spruce up their backyard andprovide a space for their kids tohave fun. The pool features a deepblue and brown mosaic tile thatsparkles in the sun, and a river rock

active family and this was a goodway to keep them regularlyinvolved in a physical activity. Italso gives them a reason to havetheir friends over.”

BUMPS IN THE ROAD

As with any project, problems oftenarise, especially when you’re diggingfor a pool, says Anna. Dealing withlarge rocks and the slope of theearth can be a hassle. But BlueHaven handled minor diggingproblems that arose with ease, sheadds.

For the Cannell family, the prob-lem was more defined. “My housesits on 1.5 acres so I figured itwouldn’t be a problem to fit in apool,” explains Emily. “But as aresult of the sewer easement, we

couldn’t build in certain areas. Ontop of that, we had to keep the poolwithin a certain amount of spacefrom the home.”

Despite the large backyard, itsuddenly became a challenge to tryand fit in the pool.

“The yard had a lot of slopes and

some access issues that we had towork around,” says Calvitti.

“Blue Haven was amazinglyhelpful when working around theseregulations,” says Emily. “Theychanged the designs from the largerectangle I had originally wanted toa free-form pool that fit exactlywhere it was permitted. It was theonly spot a pool could have goneand they made it work. A lot ofpeople might have just given up orgone with a smaller pool.”

It’s why Emily chose BlueHaven, who she found

through friends.“We knew that if problems came

up, they would have the experienceto deal with them. It turns out thatwas the case,” she says. “They werealways very professional.”

And now that the pools are in,both families say they are thrilled

with the outcome.“We don’t even have to leave the

house in the summer,” says Anna.“It’s our own personal vacation destination.”

pace-setting pavers:hardscapers’dream products


MBy Susan I. Shiber

Modern paver stones, noted forlasting beauty and ruggedresilience, have roots in post-World War II Germany andDenmark. As engineers set out torebuild cities and towns, theyquickly discovered a dearth of fos-sil fuel needed to produce pavingbrick. Instead, they developedinterlocking pavement createdfrom segmented concrete units.

It took nearly 30 years for this

innovative hardscaping method toreach the United States andCanada. North American concretesuppliers, who liked the old-worldlook of European streets and walk-ways, began experimenting withprocesses. E.P. Henry was one ofthe first. As the nation’s oldest fam-ily-owned and operated manufac-turer of unit concrete products, itis a market leader in hardscapingsolutions. Many area companiesare E.P. Henry-certified to designand install projects from patios topoolscapes and more.

Referred to in company litera-ture as the “true original,”

Unilock® introduced pavingstones to Canada in 1972 and theUnited States 5 years later.Collaborating with Europeanmanufacturers, it created BrusselsBlock®, tumbled pavers, Series3000®, architectural pavers, andthe Elegance Series™, which cap-tures a time-worn classic look.

Eric Bischof, assistant generalmanager for the East Coast,Unilock, is quite animated whendiscussing some of the company’slatest products and technology.“Homeowners ask us for barbecuegrills, fire pits and outdoor fire-places,” says Bischof. “They prefera clean and easy process, not laborintensive piece-by-piece construc-tion. With Unilock Mods, we candeliver and install within a day.Our truck delivers the product inthree pieces. A piggyback spiderpicks up pavers and places themfor completion. There’s no excava-tion, no mess,” notes Bischof.

KS Greenday is also experienc-ing an increase in grill, fireplaceand outdoor kitchen business.“Requests are coming out of thewoodwork,” says Tom Schreiber,marketing director, K&S andGreenday. “We can do E.P. Henrygrills or fire pits in a day or two tops, or provide something more elaborate.

“For example, a 48-inch grill,complete with sink, refrigerator,encased warming drawers and anunder-shelf bar takes four or moredays,” Schreiber says. “Our exten-sive line of pavers even allows cus-tomers to match the façade of their homes.”

Schreiber advises determiningannual usage before committing toa major hardscaping grill project.“If you’re not building a fullcabana, less time will be spent inthis space. Think about appliancesand whether the grill will be pow-ered by natural gas or propane.How is the house heated? Can youget a line from that source for thegrill? We recently completed awonderful combination projectfeaturing E.P. Henry products onthe side of a fireplace and culturedstones on the walls. There is a flue,hearth and gas-powered grill,” says Schreiber. >>>

in without doing some homework. Visit Web

sites, peruse “House & Home magazine” and

get satisfactory answers to questions. E.P.

Henry has an extensive list of FAQs.

Here are a few with summarized answers.

1. How do pavers compare with patterned or stampedconcrete?Patterned concrete pavements are slabs of embossedconcrete. Therefore, they are prone to the same crack-ing and spalling problems with freeze-thaw cycles.

2. What are the advantages of sealing pavers?Sealers help resist stains, enhance color and bind thejoint to make it difficult for weeds to germinate.

3. What about snow removal from pavers?Pavers can be plowed and shoveled just like asphalt orconcrete pavements.

4. How can I have steps on my retaining wall?Paver products can be used to build steps.

5. Can I build a freestanding wall with pavers?You can create wing walls, knee walls, sitting areas andmore.

6. When should I involve an engineer in the design of mywall?Generally when the wall is above 4 feet or site conditionsare unusual.

PERFECTING NATURE

Whether backyard barbecue, tieredwall, serpentine walkway, gardenpatio, deck or pool setting, naturalappearance is the key. Stone isformed by river, volcano or moun-tain. Bluestone is especially popu-lar. It is a hard, compact limestonewith finishings ranging from pol-ished to rough. Pavers offer thelook and characteristics of naturalmaterials, such as bluestone, basaltor slate without maintenance andenvironmental problems.

Pete Baloglou, director of education, Techo-Bloc explains.“Retaining walls, for example, usedto be constructed from stackedstones, railroad ties, masonrymortared together or brick,” saysBaloglou. “They would crack anddidn’t really look good. Techo-Blocpavers combine the aestheticantique tumbled texture of naturalstone with structural integrity.”

In addition to creating tumbledinterlocking retaining wall systems,Techo-Bloc is the first in the indus-try to manufacture a replica ofauthentic Belgian Block, modularpaving stones in one single palletand a tumbling process that elimi-

It’s a double-sided systemthat allows you to add a new walljumper unit breaking up horizon-tal repetition. It makes smoothtransitions from wall to coordinat-ing pillar.

Wcoordinatingfabrics in yourinteriordesign

By Jere Bradwell

INTERIOR DESIGN

Who says you can't pair up plaidswith stripes? How about floralprints with stripes? When puttogether correctly, each of thesecombinations will be a stunningand dramatic addition to yourhome. If you do it wrong, youmight have a chaotic mess.

The trick to mixing and match-ing patterns and colors to createexciting home decors is pretty sim-ple. You need a creative imagina-tion, the courage to use variety anda little willingness to think outsideof the box.

PATTERNS AND FAMILIES

Plaids, paisleys, stripes, dots andflorals are all fabric patterns.Getting them to work together isn't hard. The key is to think of patterns as a family. There aretwo main components: dominants,the parents, and subordinates, the children.

Dominants have large patternsand often are the least used in décorschemes. Subordinates are muchsmaller patterns that complementthe dominant ones. There are alsosolids that are often effective as thebase of a sofa or chair.

If you use two dominants, theywill compete for attention. Peopleoften make the mistake of using toomany dominant patterns in thesame room.

So, if you decide you want a flo-ral pattern as an attention grabber,go large with big sunflowers orroses, for example. Pair it with asecondary pattern of stripes, plaidor a mini-print accenting colorsfrom the dominant pattern.

Color is extremely important,

This sofa has a dominate pattern used in the pillows. It has been coordi-nated with stripes, solids and velvets for a pleasing effect.

This bedding centers around a dominate comforter fabric that is repeated as anaccent on two of the pillows and coordinated with other mini prints, stripes andsolids.

The parent fabric is the floral print on the chair and accent pillows.



particularly how you use it.Dominant patterns with multiplecolors give you multiple coloroptions. Pick one color from thedominant pattern and use it as your

main choice. Other colors used ona smaller scale can be used asaccents. Colors have to flow inorder to create visual harmony. Partof the deal to achieve that harmonyis to use the color more than oncein a room.

APPLYING FABRICS AND COLOR TO

A FLOOR PLAN

When creating a floor plan, I typi-cally position the seating areas first.

Then I place all the case goods:tables, end tables, chests and soforth. Afterwards, I take fabrics andplace them around the room. I puta particular fabric on a sofa, for

instance, and then repeat it on theother side of the room on windowtreatments or as fabrics on a coordi-nated chair, so the fabrics arein balance.

Then I put a plaid here, a stripeover there, a checkered pattern else-where and little by little it all comestogether. The easiest way to createthe floor plan is to start with a par-ticular fabric and then surround itwith a variety of other fabrics and

Having said variety in pattern,color and texture are very important, moderation is

imperative also.

patterns. I usually start with thedominant pattern first and thenadd all the other elements based onthe colors in the “parent” pattern.

Fabric textures also add to thedécor. Silks, chenille, velvets or cot-tons provide a pattern, too. Mixingthem in a room can create a differ-ent feel. Just like variation of furni-ture, wood, iron, glass, etc., thevariation in fabric textures addsmore excitement to a room.

To make patterns and colorswork together, you have to knowwhat feel or décor you want. If youdon't, look for something that willinspire you, such as the home'sarchitecture. Above all else, when Iwork with clients in their home Iwant to make sure the final productis a reflection of the homeowners’personal tastes.

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE

Variety, being the spice of life,brings the needed vitality, diversityand stimulation that will make the

interior come alive. A slight varia-tion in color, texture or pattern maybe just the thing to breathe life intoa room.

Having said variety in pattern,color and texture are very impor-tant, moderation is imperative also.Too much diversity without anunderlying scheme can make theroom cluttered and confusing. Toomany patterns, colors and textureswill compete against each other,rendering the room uncomfortableto look at. It will feel like there is noplace in the room to relax.

REMODELING

A professional designer can bring the look and feel of luxury to your bath or kitchen.



YYou’ve been dreaming of a new bathor kitchen for years. You’ve bud-geted your money carefully and thetime to remodel is now or never.You’re ready. You may even bethinking of redoing it yourself.

Why hire a professional designer?Because a remodeled kitchen orbath is your dream and you want tohave fun doing it.

Designers handle the details foryou and save you time and money.They design kitchens and bathsevery day. They know what’s currentand where to find the materials andfixtures you need to get the lookyou want. They know how to getthe job done on time and on budgetwith reliable contractors.

Professional designers can make atrue difference in the way your bathor kitchen looks, too. They can giveyou a look that’s different thanwhat’s on the street. It’s like buyinga car. You can buy a basic car or aluxury model. They can bring thelook and feel of luxury to your bathor kitchen.”

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WANT

Think of your dream bath. What’smore important to you: a fine bath-tub for soaking, gorgeous tile or aluxurious frameless shower withbody sprays to create an in-homespa experience?

Think of your dream kitchen.What’s more important to you:great-looking furniture-grade cabi-netry with dazzling granite counter-tops or state-of-the-art appliances?

Designers can help you establishpriorities for budgeting purposesand determine what is feasible.They also try to ask the right ques-tions to help ensure the newlydesigned space fits your lifestyle. Doyou like to entertain? Do you like toprepare breakfast in the kitchen orjust brew espresso to go for yourdrive to the office? How long areyou going to be in the house? They

Are your once-beautiful tile floors or walls now discoloredwith dirty and ugly-looking grout? This can easily

happen if the grout lines were never sealed after the tile wasinstalled, or if the seal on your grout isn’t properly maintained. In fact, most grout lines are never sealed andbefore long dirt, mildew and stains penetrate the porous grout,making it appear dull and dirty. Discolored grout can turnyour once-dazzling floors or walls into an eyesore. There is asolution: Sir Grout can make your tile surfaces look new againin a matter of hours. “We make old grout look new and helpkeep new grout looking new,” says Ray Curatolo, owner of SirGrout, which serves the Bucks County area. “We provide distinctive services with uncommon results. Many homeowners are unaware that they can bring back the beautyof their tile floors, walls and countertops without tearing uptheir tile and starting over.”

Sir Grout uses a non-toxic cleaning solution to pre-treat thegrout lines before using a commercial-grade vertical scrubberto remove embedded dirt. Then they apply a sealant that caneither restore or change the grout’s original color, dependingon a customer’s wishes. The color sealant is absorbed into thegrout creating a barrier to stains and dirt. The grout looks newand if maintained correctly, will retain its fresh look for years.The Sir Grout process is safe, odorless and takes usually fourto five hours to complete and homeowners can walk on a tilefloor within minutes after the process is completed. “Yourgrout lines will be uniform in color and able to repel stains,water and mildew,” notes Mr. Curatolo. Sir Grout also offersa maintenance program that extends its warranty. A homeowner simply needs to follow the Sir Grout prescribedmaintenance program and use its patented PH neutral soaplesscleaner. “We not only carry the cleaner for our customers, wecan deliver it to their door as well.”

If dull and dingy grout is making you tired of looking atyour tile floors and walls, call Sir Grout before you decide totake drastic measures. Visit our website at www.sirgrout.comto see how their process transforms tile surfaces. You can also call (215) 450-5763.

LIGHTING AND COLOR

Color is the key to good design. Aprofessional designer can betremendously helpful in coordinat-ing your color choices.

Layers of lighting, especially inthe kitchen, are important today,too. Lighting illuminates the colorand sets mood. Task lighting in foodpreparation areas is also importantto the way your kitchen functions.

MINIMIZING MISTAKES

Because kitchens and baths haveplumbing that typically needs to beupdated or redone in remodelingjobs, redoing these rooms is morecomplicated than simply repaintingthe living room and putting a slipcover on the sofa.

Sometimes do-it-yourselfers don’t

understand the technical challengesof redoing baths and kitchens. Ifyou install a custom shower withmultiple sprayer heads and do nothave plumbing experience, you maynot have enough water pressure tomake it work. If you install a newwhirlpool bath and don’t have theelectrical work done properly, youcan blow out all the electrical circuits in your house.

Kitchen design is an art. If you’reinstalling new cabinets, are youusing every square inch wisely? Isthe cabinet door against thewall going to hit the island?Good cabinet design maximizesspace, minimizes mistakes and addsfunctionality.

A designer foresees and solvesproblems in advance and takes careof the technical details for you.

H&H

What’s more important to you in your kitchen: furniture-grade cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances or glamorous granite countertops? A kitchen designer helps you setpriorities and budget for your kitchen remodeling project.

Professional kitchen and bath designers can help make your dream bath or kitchen areality. They help you focus on your options, decide what’s feasible within your budgetand educate you about new products and innovations. Photo by Miro Dvorscak.

featured on TLC’s Moving Up & in House Beautiful magazine Seven tips toward a better relationship with yourremodeling contractorDuring a typical remodel, a homeowner’s temper can flare, with

the addition of the dust, noise and having a crew working in thehome for most of the day.

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI)offers homeowners some pointers on how to maintain a good rela-tionship with their remodeling contractors during a home remodel.A first-rate remodeling contractor will often anticipate many ofthese points and prepare a homeowner for what’s ahead.

NARI President Everett Collier, CR, says, “The key to a goodhomeowner-contractor relationship is open communication. Starta dialogue about issues you have, no matter how small you thinkthey are. Chances are the problem can be overcome.”

NARI recommends following these tips to make life during a home remodel a little easier:1. Before work begins, sit down with your contractor and discussdetails that will affect your daily routine. For example, ask that theworkers do not block the driveway without checking whether thehomeowner’s car is out of the garage. Also, find out what theirschedule will be so you know what to expect, and if the schedulefalls behind, be sure to ask why in order to keep that line of com-munication open.

2. From day one, be honest with your contractor about yourexpectations. Open communication establishes trust and is thebasis of a good working relationship. Discuss problems or irrita-tions as they occur so you and your contractor can devise alterna-tive solutions.

3. Be sure to let your contractor know if you are planning a vaca-tion or business trip so he can make his own schedule. If you decideto let him work while you are away, give him a phone number sohe can reach you in case there is a question.

4. Allow plenty of time for your project, keeping in mind thatdelays due to weather, material shortage or other problems cannotbe predicted ahead of time.

5. Remove your personal property from the construction areas anddeclare all work zones off limits to children and pets.

6. Always put changes in writing, especially if the plans are modi-fied while the work is being done. Have both parties agree on thechanges and sign a written copy of them before the work begins.And remember, changes will often cause delays, so if you decide achange is in order, be patient with the extended timeline.

7. Keep all paperwork related to the job in one place so that ifthere are any questions on the plans, you have an easy reference forclarification.

And remember, be patient and keep your mind on the end result.In due time, you’ll be cooking your first meal in your new kitchenor soaking in your new bath, and you will have forgotten the noiseand dust and you can relax in your newly remodeled home.

wanted it to meet their own needsand tastes. They called on BillinghamBuilt to take on the project, whichinitially included major re-wiring aswell as new lighting. “We choseBillingham Built because of its excel-lent reputation,” Donna says.

“It was very upsetting,” saysDonna. “We fell in love with the

COTY AWARD PROJECT

Bill and Donna Elliott, Chicago resi-dents who were looking for a vaca-tion home in Pennsylvania, had set-tled on what they thought would bethe ideal retreat. It was close tofriends and family who lived in thetri-state area and just needed someupdating. But what began as a typicalremodel, quickly turned into a mas-sive project when two major floodsstruck the home prior to the home-owners moving in.

Although the house, at least 50years old, had already undergone sev-eral significant remodels with previ-ous owners, the new homeowners

A shot of the new kitchen, taken from the breakfast area, highlights the new features.



Contracting Inc. “Because the househad undergone several major addi-tions and renovations in the past,there was an excessive amount of cir-cuits throughout the house thatneeded to be rewired. We also had tofigure out where to relocate the cir-cuit breaker panels to an area abovethe flood plain without detractingfrom the first floor.”

Two entry foyers and the laundryroom had 7 inches of water as a resultof the flood, says Joseph Billingham,owner, Billingham Built. “Plus, all ofthe utilities that were in the basementwere destroyed,” he adds.

Renovations after this first floodincluded a new central vacuum andreplacement of the alarm system aswell as moving the water softener,

well tank, and heating and coolingsystems into the attic.

BAD LUCK … TWICE

But the trouble wasn’t over. “Afterrepairs and renovations were com-pleted to mitigate damage from theflood, the owners were once againwithin just 1 week of moving,” recallsBillingham. “Unbelievably, as theteam finished, a second floodoccurred. This time the water was 3feet above the main floor level. Allprevious efforts were destroyedor damaged.”

The second flood was even worse,”says Donna. “The whole thing wassurreal. We couldn’t believe it hap-pened again. The reason we boughtthe vacation home was to have a placewe could relax and we knew thatevery time it would rain we’d beon edge.”

That’s when the couple decidedsomething more permanent had to bedone to prevent future damage.

Billingham proposed moving thehouse away from the river. And that’sjust what the team did. They movedthe 200-ton house back and safelyaway from the water.

“We found it would be better forthe ultimate result to lift the house 9feet and move it back from the river100 feet,” says Billingham. “It wasthen possible to grade the house tohave a pleasing appearance.”

Although it took a long 7 monthsof finalizing permits with the localgovernment, the couple was thrilledwith the end results.

“I am so much happier than I wasbefore with the home,” says Donna.“After the move, the entire houselooked so much better.”

BIG CHANGES

After approximately 3 years of whatstarted out as an everyday project andturned into a huge affair, the home’srenovations were completed.

They included more than the ini-tial project had set out to complete.The family’s new kitchen now fea-tures an oven wall, glass display cabi-

nets and inlaid Delft tiles in the wall’sbacksplash, as well as a pot filler and salad sink on the new island. The island serves as a focal point for the kitchen and stands out withbase lighting.

In addition, the couple’s new bath-room now has a soaking tub with askylight. The bathroom overlooks theDelaware River, which, now that thewater levels have gone down (and thehouse is in a safe and higher locale),offers the peaceful and relaxing viewthey sought in their vacation home.

Carver installed an entirely newlighting plan throughout the home,as well as a lighting control systemand motorized window treatments.The window treatments help to blockout the natural light that comes intothe theater room and also provideprivacy from the many boaters float-ing down the river. Customized light-ing is offered at the push of a button.

“By installing a lighting controlsystem throughout the house, switch-

ing was consolidated and lightingscenes were programmed for theowners based on their living pat-terns,” says Carver.

REACHING THE FINISH LINE

“It was definitely a lot of work,” saysCarver. “But it was a great family towork with and we really got to know them.”

The homeowners also shared thesefond sentiments. “It was as thoughthey were working on their ownhome. That’s how much effort theyput into it,” says Donna.

“I lost count of how many timeswe thanked our lucky stars that wedecided to go with Joe Billingham,”Donna recalls. “Not only did we getsuperior workmanship, but we alsogot reliability, dedication and aneighborly hand when we desperatelyneeded help. Everyone went the extra mile to help us when we wereflooded and they worked hard to findthe best solution, keeping costs downas much as possible. If we hadanother project, we wouldn't con-sider anyone else.”

home because of the beautiful viewsof the river, but my husband hadconcerns about living so close to it.So when the flood happened, I expe-rienced a lot of guilt, thinking I’dtalked him into it. But he was great.We moved ahead and just neverlooked back.” The flood left Billingham Built andWes Carver Electrical ContractingInc., which had done all the re-wiring, with a huge project ahead.Not only did they have to re-do their previous work, but they also had to repair the new damage the flood caused.

“After wiring gets wet, it needs tobe completely removed andreplaced,” explains Wes Carver,owner, Wes Carver Electrical

“Unbelievably, as the teamfinished, a second flood occurred.”

-Joseph Billingham, owner, Billingham Built

The river, which once caused the family much distress, now provides a beautiful view since thehouse was moved away from the danger zone. The homeowners can enjoy the view from theirnew soak tub.

H&H

While floods caused the project to be drawn out over 3 years, the Elliot family couldn’t be hap-pier with the final product.

Amazingly, a third flood took placeas the team was completing finaldetails on the home. While the watersreached the same levels as the secondflood, there was no water damage.The house’s move and its new foun-dation treatments kept it protected.

“This was the best proof we couldask for,” says Billingham. “Weachieved great success on such a com-plex and challenging project.”

Additionally, the project earned aContractor of the Year (CotY) Awardfor Entire House over $1,000,000from the National Association of theRemodeling Industry (NARI).

ROOM DIVIDERS

Good interior design arranges spacein a beautiful, pleasing and usefulway. A room divider, whether as aninteresting art form or a hardwork-ing functional piece, can be helpfulwhen you need to define a specificspace inside your home. Sometimesa large space needs to be divided tomake a room feel cozier.

SCREENS AND PANELS

Screens work well as room dividers.Iron screens with an open design letthe eye travel across the room. Thescreen doesn’t cut you off from therest of the space. If the screen hastoo much scrollwork, then itbecomes the room’s focal point.

Solid wood screens finished in

metallic silver, gold or bronze canbe elegant. But the trick is the fin-ish. You don’t want it to look home-made. In smaller spaces, mirrorscreens make a room appear larger.

For a contemporary look, con-sider hanging fabric panels from theceiling. They can be hung in astraight line or staggered and madeof material such as silk or canvas. Ifthey are light enough, hang themfrom the ceiling with a thin fila-ment wire, which seems to dissolveinto the air. Put some weight at thebottom, using iron rods, for exam-ple, so they don’t blow in a breeze.

Although a big open space can beaddressed by the arrangement offurniture, sometimes there isn’t a lot

both living spaces.Etageres now are standing as

dividers, as well, allowing displayedcollectibles and treasures to beenjoyed from all areas. Open-backhutches allow for dual use of theircontents, and even entertainment

units, with some open-back shelvesand others enclosed, can fashion avideo center from a larger thanneeded room.

NATURAL BORDERS

Another room divider option: Usegroupings of silk trees and shrubs asroom dividers. The types of plantschosen will depend on the décor,but choices include leafy camellias,parlor palms and ferns. The silkplants can fill up the space in aninteresting way, especially whenthey are layered and stacked.

For a contemporary look,consider hanging fabric panels

from the ceiling.

Your Tuscany inspired villa will appreciate this traditional hand forged wrought ironscreen. This three panel screen brings bold, rustic iron into an eloquent multidimen-sional artwork.

ROOM DIVIDERS

PRACTICAL PARTITIONS

Consider having a room dividercustom built for a room that needsto serve two purposes, for instance,a guest bedroom that also doublesas a home office. Custom-build aroom divider that has bookcases on

one side and wardrobe cabinets onthe other. Anything can be back-to-back with anything else such asbookcases, storage cabinets, andentertainment centers.
