I spent my childhood years growing up “out the road” up the street from Tee

Harbor in Juneau . As a kid, living out the road was a little more isolated than your typical sub-urban neighborhood . A drive into town in-volved preparation and carpooling especially in the wintertime . Neigh-bors became more comparable to family rather than acquaintances and neighborhood tasks were heavily reliant on a group ef-fort . The last weeks of November are memorable not just because of Thanksgiving, but because Thanksgiving always

seems to arrive in conjuncture with the first winter storm . Storms and holidays were always a neighborhood event

whether it be coordinating meals or shoveling the driveways . For

me, Thanksgiving wasn’t about the fancy flatware or fine holiday attire, it was about togetherness and the excitement of the storm of events, whatever they may be . My brother and I would look out the window as if it were tele-

vision, fueled with adrena-line prompted by the gusts of wind . A guessing game would ensue predicting how long the power would last . Frequently we’d find ourselves huddled around our only battery powered radio listening for an outage report in the company of a half baked tur-key or pie . For me, these times didn’t center on the perception of tradition but were fueled by the excitement of actuality and sharing the experience with loved ones, whether they be family or neighbors-turned-family . Plans, especially during the holidays can go awry but the sky does not have to fall . I’ve learned that flexibil-ity and sharing the excitement or burden with others is key to tolerating or even enjoying the unexpected .

Pumpkin Festival


The Alaska-Juneau Public Market may be the biggest Christmas retail event in Southeast, but the goods of-fered go well beyond typical Christmas gifts . Many of the vendors are selling one-of-a-kind items that make practi-cal additions to homes, such as wooden bowls and vases; and decorative addi-tions such as stained-glass windows, pottery for kitchens and hallways, and hand-dyed fabrics that can cover large open wall spaces .

The Public Market has been held ev-ery Thanksgiving weekend at Centen-nial Hall since 1983 .

Betty Bell, one of the longest par-ticipating vendors at the Public Mar-ket, remembers her first appearance 27 years ago . Bell’s daughter Katherine lives in Juneau, while Bell lives in the Puyallup Valley of Washington State . “The Public Market is my connection with Juneau; it is my way of visiting my

daughter and three of my grandchil-dren,” Bell says . “It is such a wonderful social event . It seems I get to see the whole population of Juneau .”

Over the years, Bell has had the

opportunity to see her pottery, some made decades ago, in the homes of Juneau friends . “It is fun to see things that endure . Juneau has been very dear to me . I’ve watched my grandchildren

grow up there, and I feel I am a friend to all the people who have bought my pots .”

Les Howard and Dave Riccio, Ju-neau artists, have shared a space at the Public Market since 2003 . Howard produces custom fine woodcraft as well as “kitchenalia” — knives, glasses, small cereal bowls — and many home-appropriate decorations . Riccio is well known for his hand-dyed fabric art-work, fine art prints, and ceramics . “All of our work is custom made, one-of-a-kind pieces,” Howard says, “everything from what you would find on a kitchen counter, to fine art for decorating living rooms .”

Potters Joyce Payne and Julie Koehler produce high quality hand-thrown and hand-built pottery . Payne is well known in Juneau for her work as art director of The Canvas, which helps people with disabilities express them-selves through art .

The unique ceramics by Juneau’s David Riccio are both decorative and practical additions to the household. Les Howard, who shares a Public Market booth with Riccio, will offer “kitch-enalia” such as hand-made knives, glasses, and small cereal bowls.

People looking for unique kitchen pottery and tiles need look no further than Payne and Koehler’s Public Mar-ket booth . “The pottery we produce is functional ware for use in the kitchen, dining, and in the home,” says Payne . “For kitchen use, there is high demand for storage crocks that are used for flour, sugar, and other bulk items, and decorative serving pieces like large salad bowls . We also sell large vases and dec-orative pieces that could be displayed in rooms and hallways . And we pro-

duce ceramic wall tiles, and decorative plates that can hang on walls .” Payne says that she and Koehler are both open to custom orders . This will be Payne’s sixth appearance at the Public Market .

Two of the many new vendors who will appear at the 2011 Public Market are Teri Bastable-Podsiki and her daughter Melissa Ganey, both of Haines . Podsiki will be offering large format framed totemic prints that she calls art in depth . “I work with Greg Horner and use his designs, so each

print is a unique item .”

The mother and daughter team will also be selling items under the name of Garden City Glass Works . “These are beautiful pieces of blown glass, vases, and goblets,” says Podsiki . “My big-gest piece that I will bring to the Public Market will be a 14-inch tall vase .”

Melissa Ganey will offer unique wall decals that are large yet easily applied on walls . “The decals have adhesive on one side . To apply a decal, you just rub it on a wall with a credit card, and it can last for years, yet is easily removed . It peels off without chipping paint or leaving marks .” The options for these home decals are endless, including images, graphic designs, prose, and poems . Ganey custom designs each decal on a computer and sends it to her customers for final approval before producing it on vinyl . “I’ve done some that are probably five feet long, every-thing from big signs to small ones, for kids’ bedrooms and family recreation rooms .” Most of her products are pur-chased on-line . She says she has sold worldwide from Australia to Italy .

A lot of detail and attention goes into the flooring we walk on as well as the doors, windows, and cabinets we

put in our homes . So why are so many trim details left out of homes? Why not add some style to your home with some custom trim, built-ins, paneled walls, coffered ceiling, and crown moulding? These custom details can really enhance a home and add an ele-ment of style and function .

A few tips before starting any of the projects below:

• Trim samples are available for you to pick up at local lumber stores

• Before you get started on any project be-low, be sure to pick up the samples and set them up in your home see if they are what you want

• To save on cost, you can use Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) in place of hardwood, but it will need to be painted

Mouldings can be made of many materials . MDF is an easy material to work with and is good for paint grade mouldings . Larger crown moulding and other moulding are now often made with a dense foam material, which is easy to work with and easy to paint . I always try to be aware of manufactured mouldings and the hazards to indoor air quality so try to find manufactured mould-ing with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) . Most mouldings can be made out of any type of hardwood or softwood ma-terial and can be painted or stained any

number of colors . Ideas can be visualized and planned out with the sample moulding . Modern, classical, arts and crafts, craftsman, and other styles can be achieved with the proper use of trim and mouldings .

Base Moulding

The base moulding serves the purpose of finishing the floor to wall transition . Most flooring especially wood should have a gap for expansion and contraction of the floor . So the baseboard serves the purpose of covering that gap . Consider your ceiling heights when determining the size of base-board moulding . An eight-foot wall would look awkward with 12” of base moulding; however, 18-foot walls with 16” baseboards look great . There really isn’t a formula for the ratio of baseboards to wall height, but rather what looks visually pleasing . The con-tour of the baseboard used also plays a role . To add more detail to the baseboards a shoe moulding or a base cap can be added . The possibilities are endless . Baseboards can be made up of one to four pieces to draw at-tention to the room . Simple baseboards can get a lot of attention as well . I have finished many homes with a painted MDF 1” x 6” board as the baseboard and the simplicity of this trim can have quite an impact .

Window and Door Casing

Window and door casing can be just as elaborate as baseboards and can remain quite simple . Use straight stock material like a 1” x 3” on the sides of the door or window and a 1” x 4” on the top of the doors to create a simple look . I also like to do jamb extensions out of a hardwood or MDF, while staying away from wrapping windows with sheetrock . The overall cost is almost a wash when the labor for sheetrock instal-lation around the windows is taken into consideration . From simple straight stock trim to using profiled trim, details can be

become more elaborate by adding a fillet on top of the side casing, then installing the top casing and a top casing cap . Fillets and cas-ing caps will give the feeling of a craftsman style trim . Rosettes and plinth blocks can be added to casing to accomplish a more clas-sical look . It is necessary to match the style throughout the home whether going for a classical, craftsman, or a simple trim look .

Paneled walls and wainscoting

An easy way to remodel a room or change the look of a room is to add paneled walls or wainscoting . If you add a four-foot high paneled wall to a small powder room it changes the whole feel of the room . Paneled walls can add a classical or craftsman look to a room that sets it apart from other rooms . They can be just four-feet high or they can go all the way to the ceiling . Paneled walls give depth by creating shadows with the raised stiles and rails . Paneled walls are often painted a different color than the remain-der of the wall, which adds even more visual interest .

Wainscoting can also set a room apart with a simple bead board capped with chair rail or small crown moulding . Wainscoting gives a similar look to a paneled wall . When plan-ning out wainscoting be aware of the door and window casing and how the panels tie into them . If you do take on one of these projects, be sure to carefully plan out the spacing (especially with paneled walls) .

Crown Moulding

Crown moulding can enhance many details in a home including walls, cabinets, book-cases, and built-in cabinets . When crown moulding is added to a shorter wall, it can make it appear taller and taller walls can look more finished and not so lofty . Crown moulding gives a good transition between wall and ceiling . Crown moulding can be

made out of several pieces of mouldings to make a custom crown moulding or can sim-ply be made of a single 1” x 6” placed at the corner of the wall and ceiling .

Ceilings

Ceilings can be treated with trim, mould-ings, and beams . Coffered ceilings are cre-ated with beams and mouldings in a geo-metric shape to define an area . Placement of lights in a coffered ceiling is crucial and needs to be planned out ahead of time . Coffered ceilings can define a room to set it apart from other rooms even if there are no walls to define the area . They can give a room a formal look but can also be used in a family room to break up an expansive ceil-ing . Coffered ceilings can be made out of beams and mouldings of any material .

Tray ceilings are created during the fram-ing stages of a house but can be added later . A tray ceiling added to a room with a low ceiling will give a perception of more height or grandness . Most tray ceilings are cre-ated with framing and sheetrock but crown moulding and lighting can also be added .

Ceilings can also be enhanced with the ad-dition of beams . Beams can be added during or after the framing stage of the house . They can be thick and massive or thin and petite . Either way beams can be used to set a room apart from other rooms . The various types of ceilings can be used to hide ducting and other mechanicals of a home .

B’s Bistro and Bakery goes from Outdoor Cart to Indoor RestaurantB’s Bistro and Bakery, a small pink food cart that premiered on the street outside the court building in Juneau, Alaska is

expanding . Juneau’s weather became an influential factor in the decision to grad-uate from food cart to restaurant . Rebec-ca Gaguine, owner of B’s says “it became harder and harder for me to stand out-side and sell my goods . But I wanted to keep going . So I decided to get a bigger trailer that was enclosed that I could use as ei-ther a drive-thru or as a kitchen next to an inside dining area .” Gaguine is currently in the process of renovat-ing an old office space into a dining area . B’s will be open for breakfast and lunch serving baked goods made from scratch and hot food . “We’re planning on opening in a couple weeks, just as soon as we get every-thing finished, figured out and smoothed over .” Gaguine is working with Johanna Evans and Jessica Reuthinger . “Jessica

and I went to culinary school together and as soon as I knew I was going to be opening up a bigger thing I knew I had to have her come up here immedi-ately .” Reuthinger has experience work-ing at large scale restaurants and catering companies, most recently she worked on

the Nike cam-pus . Evans has worked in the service industry for over 10 years . “She’s got an amazing per-sonality and she’s amazing with people .” Gagine says of Evans . Along with being partners in business; Gaguine, Re-

uthinger, and Evans are also roommates .
