 Welcome to the 2009 Flatirons Tour of Homes
The Flatirons Building Council takes great pride in presenting the
20th annual Tour of Homes. Showcasing some of the finest builders in
the north metro area, the Tour of Homes has something for everyone;
featuring 16 new homes ranging in price from the low $200,000s to over
$3 million. You can walk through each home or visit our Web site at
www.flatironstourofhomes.com to travel through the homes you were
unable to tour.

We are proud to introduce for the second year the Flatirons Building
Council Tour of Homes Keepsake Magazine. The guide will be
distributed to more than 50,000 homes in the Boulder and Broomfield
area as well as local real estate offices and the tour homes themselves. The
Tour guide includes floor plans and descriptions, articles and photos from
participating homebuilders, as well as the latest in home trends.
Purchasing or remodeling a home is the biggest investment most people
will ever make. Whether you’re ready to make this decision or you’re
simply gathering ideas, we hope the Flatirons Tour of Homes will be an
enjoyable and rewarding experience.

 HOME SWEETER HOME
Spruce up your space with ease and elegance
By Pamela Bunn, Spaces Magazine / MediaNews Group

I f you find yourself standing in your living room thinking, I’m so

over it, it’s time to make those much-needed design updates to
refresh your home and your psyche. But it’s not always necessary
“Using lamplight throughout the home creates a softer mood.”

to gut the place. For this redesign, think simple. Interior designer
Barbara Brenner, of the Barbara Brenner & Associates design firm
in Calabasas, explains: “It’s important to go simple because less is
always more. When I go into a home, the first thing I do is take out
the clutter and get down to basics.” We couldn’t have said it
better ourselves. So without further ado, here’s our list of ways to
renew, revamp and revitalize.

CONFRONT YOUR CLUTTER

There’s no time like the present to take Brenner’s advice. Before

you start on any other element of your simple redesign, it’s best to
reassess your relationship with those knick-knacks peppering every
shelf and your collection of mismatched chairs. We know it won’t
be easy. According to Brenner, “This is the hardest thing for people
to do because they’re attached to their things. There are two kinds
of clutter: junk that accumulates, which should be thrown away or
given to charity (don’t forget to get a tax receipt), and sentimental
clutter. For the sentimental clutter, I suggest storing it or giving it to
a son or a daughter who would appreciate it.”

A PERSONAL CANVAS

No surprise here: If you’re sick of staring at your white (or gray or

yellow) walls, head to the paint store and go for a totally different
color than the one currently surrounding you. If you’re not ready to
commit to an all-over shade, start small. You can paint one room,
or just an accent wall or ceiling. Designer Tracy Murdock, of Tracy
Murdock Interior Design in Woodland Hills, suggests this grand
opening: “I think painting in entry halls is a great way to get
immediate impact and to receive guests.”

Maybe you’re a touchy-feely person and would like to add some

texture to a room. Hire a professional to skip-trowel your walls for a
cool faux-finish look. “This method is great because it has some
highs and lows to it, which can add great depth, and then adding
paint and glaze to it gives it highlights,” says West Hollywood
designer Philip Nimmo, of the design firm Philip Nimmo & Company
and Philip Nimmo Ironworks. Another one of his ideas: “I love using
raffia paper (woven sea grass) to add texture to one wall.”
If your walls are void of wainscoting, that doesn’t mean you can’t
install it. “Wainscoting is a fantastic way to create impact,
especially on a budget,” says Murdock. “It can be traditional or
spiced up and dramatized by using a bright color on the upper
part, such as kelly green, or even a bold wallpaper.”
To give a bedroom a dramatic touch with a unique and
unexpected focal point, simply paint a headboard right onto the
wall (be sure to trace it first), or visit a flea market for a vintage
screen to place behind the bed. “A friend of mine found some
great old Indian doors at a flea market, and we just hung them
behind the bed,” says Nimmo. Don’t worry if the piece looks too
vintage, as your favorite paint or fabric will give it new life.
LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE
Of course you want your home to look good, but you may as well
look your best, too. Murdock suggests getting rid of the canned
lighting, noting that using lamplight throughout the home creates a
softer mood and “is always much more flattering on people.”
Another one of her tips: “I like to use swing arm wall sconces
behind sofas and next to or on headboards, creating more space
on tables, not to mention that they are more functional and you
can put special touches on the lampshades.”
Nothing changes the feel of a room like the right lighting. Dimmers
are a must-have, Murdock says. They give you the flexibility to
control lighting, even at its harshest. You can turn them up for
everyday living or down when you want to unwind after a long day.
And, of course, you can adjust them just so to set the mood for
entertaining or romance.

Switch plates – “nobody notices those.” But the fact is, this is one
“Adding some Nature makes your home fresh and alive and lifts the
of the easiest design updates, and it packs a big punch. “Switch
spirits like nothing else.”
plates go out of style very quickly, but they are so simple to
change,” says Brenner. “Take out the old ones, screw in the new
ones and you’ve updated the room in a matter of minutes.”

ADD FLASH TO YOUR KITCHEN AND BATH

Nothing dates a bathroom more than an old, clunky, brass-framed,

tinted-glass shower enclosure, so now’s the time to go seamless
and frameless, says Nimmo. Doing so will take years off the room,
finally giving it that “wow” factor it’s been missing. And while you’re
at it, replace the showerhead and faucets. Nimmo adds, “If you’re
at the point of updating the look of the room, the faucet probably
looks tired. It’s amazing what new fixtures can do.”

Don’t think kitchen and bathroom knobs are important to your

redesign? According to Brenner, getting new and vibrant
replacements for those old, faux bronze drawer pulls will “change
the whole feel of the cabinets. It’s so easy to do, and there are so
many nice ones. You don’t need to change all the cabinets – just
change the pulls.”

Updating your kitchen and bathroom accessories is another

simple way to transform the look of these two rooms. Buy a new
accessory collection in a style that floats your boat – think
porcelain, stainless steel or wood. In the bathroom, go for new
towels in a color you haven’t used before, and ditch a traditional
bath rug for a sleek teak mat.

You spend so much time slaving away in your kitchen that you
deserve a new backsplash. For added dimension, think about
mosaic tiles. Since this is a change you probably won’t be making
very often, Nimmo advises going with a more neutral palate: “I
believe the simpler it is, the more of an advantage I have when I
want to swap out my accessories.”
FINISHING TOUCHES
Move a piece of artwork from the living room to the bedroom, and
take one from the bathroom and put it in the hallway – just shake
it up and see how the room is transformed. Says Brenner: “If the
same piece of art has been on the same wall for years, you’ll
notice it in a different light if you change its location. It really does
transform a room and it’s the simplest thing to do.”
It’s time to retire those pillows that came with your couch and
invest in new ones that will add a vibrant touch to your room.
“Accent pillows are mandatory,” says Brenner. “I always suggest
people buy a neutral color sofa, and change the throw pillows
every couple of years to a current color – same for the bedroom. A
couple of pillows in a poppy color will change the entire room.”
Decorating with – or without – an area rug is a quick way to
revamp any room. Try going from a solid to a modern printed rug.
Area rugs can also be a great seasonal change to any room.
Nimmo reveals, “During the winter I use my area rugs, then during
the summer I store them.” Or, if you prefer to decorate with rugs
year-round, here’s Nimmo’s tip: “In summertime I like more textural
rugs, like sea grass, and in wintertime I use a pile or woven rug.”

It’s time to add an unexpected touch to your home, and a great

way to do that is with jewelry. Umano Beads, designed by Barbara
Bacigalupi, can be hung on lamps, door handles, vases and
drawer pulls, giving your room a meditative and reflective feel. The
beautiful beads can express a sentiment you’d like to project, like
love, good health, prosperity or tranquility. They’re also a great
conversation piece.

You’re done with your redesign, but something’s missing. Ah,

“Accent pillows are mandatory.”
nature! Start by adding fresh-cut flowers to your weekly shopping
list. “This is the single most important simple way to improve your
home,” says Brenner. “It makes your home fresh and alive and lifts
the spirits like nothing else.” It’s true, flowers will add a seasonal
and creative touch to any room – and you’ll get more compliments
than you’ll know what to do with. (You’re welcome.)

Gaylon Emerzian is co-producer of the Web site spatulatta.com,

winner of an award from the James Beard Foundation. On the site,
two sisters age 11 and 8, often with kid helpers, teach young
viewers how to cook.

When Emerzian first saw the animal-shaped tools, she thought

they were witty and cute.

“But to my surprise, they were more than that. The kids found
them very ergonomically correct. The bird vegetable peeler, though
seemingly big for little hands, turned out to have just the right heft
and balance for an 8 or 9 year old. The kids loved the whole set.”

Look for the animal house line on kitchenware Web sites and in stores.

Sur La Table has a rainbow-hued whisk and a family of stand-up

implements, including a spatula, spoon, pastry brush and
measuring cup, all featuring a brightly colored silicone body with
the business end on top. The line is aptly named “Head Chefs.”

 GOLDBRANCH
Homes of Distinction
Goldbranch Village Homes, in partnership with
Steven DeWitt Architecture and Construction, has
brought to life a private, secure and luxurious
residential development with the completion of Casa
Siena and Casa Brunella, the first two of 10 Village
Homes. Casa Siena was selected as a participant on
the HBA’s 2009 Denver Luxury Home Tour and was
awarded “Best Main Kitchen” and “Best Outdoor
Living Space.”

Located in Boulder County in the quaint town of

Niwot, Goldbranch is perhaps the most exclusive
community on Colorado’s Front Range. Boasting
artistic infrastructure, state-of-the-art electronics and
video security, and stunning views of the Rockies,
Goldbranch is unparalled in its offerings.

Experience the charm of Tuscany in The Village at

Goldbranch. These stunning rural Mediterranean-
style homes incorporate romantic balconied
courtyards enclosed by the residential structure. Iron-
and wood-gated porte-cochères create the utmost in
private indoor-outdoor living. Expansive Village floor
plans are facilitated by cherry wood-paneled
elevators, creating an intimacy found only in a truly
private retreat. Gourmet kitchens are a standard
feature in all Village homes.

For those who desire to create the estate of their

dreams, six spacious lots remain, slated for
architectural themes that complement The Village.
A 12,000-square-foot custom home is scheduled
for completion late 2009. Goldbranch is protected
by detailed design guidelines intended for
discerning residents.

Qualified architects and builders are welcome.

Please note that Goldbranch is unique with its
exemptions from certain recent Boulder County
Land Use and Building Code changes, including
house size limitations and most of BuildSmart.
Further, Goldbranch has multiple building permits
immediately available. Inquire with a Goldbranch
sales associate for further details.

Experience the intrigue of Boulder County and the

uniqueness of Goldbranch.
