Take your home from summer to fall

September 18th, 2011

Bringing your home from summer to fall is simpler than you think. it all begins with taking inventory of your home to determine which nonessential items you can eliminate or switch and where you can add.

“Start with anything fabric,” says Maria Aguerri-Gomez, Academic Dean of The Art Institute of Michigan-Troy, a branch campus of the Art Institute of Michigan. “You can change your couch covers, pillows and your throw blankets, add a duvet to your bed, change your window treatment or bathroom towels; or simply add a table runner to bring fall into your home without breaking your budget.”

Take couch covers from creamy and off-white tones to fall tones and colors. choose earth tones such as reds and browns to bring depth and warmth. Navy blue can also be a great color to add in fall that can transition to winter. Not completely committed to bringing that much color into your living room? Change your pillows or throw blankets to develop an accented atmospheric change. Take a look at your window treatments and consider a heavier fabric with possible prints.

“Paisley is coming back this fall.” Aguerri-Gomez says. “Use paisley prints on curtains or pillows, or venture out and buy a paisley arm chair that can nestle nicely into an unused corner in your bedroom or living room.”

Elizabeth Polish, an Interior Design Instructor at The Art Institute of New York City and owner of Elizabeth Polish Design, says bird prints are making their way into homes via lampshades and carpets this fall.

Keep the cold away by adding rugs. Overlapping rugs is a trend that can bring contrasting elements together, while unifying sections of a room. Aguerri-Gomez recommends taking a bamboo or wicker rug and overlapping it with a more classical rug. “It’s a great way to bring contrast, color and texture to the room.”

Aguerri-Gomez predicts that mustard will be a key color this fall. Add a mustard table runner and change up your dinnerware and placemats to bring your table from light and airy to warm and welcoming. Don’t want to part with the lemons and limes nestled inside your glass vase as table decor? Try compromising and replace the citrus with artichokes and pomegranates for a fall final touch.

For those that like to have feng shui elements in their home, you’ll be happy to know that gold is making a comeback. Try mercury or gold canisters, vases and accents. In the past, gold and mercury were reserved for the holidays or special celebrations, but now you can bring them out earlier to bring that shiny pop the room will need.

The last touch to bringing your home from summer to fall is mood lighting. Polish recommends utilizing energy efficient LED lights and bulbs. Because you’ve most likely added thicker curtains to keep the cold out, make sure key areas are lit. Where you don’t need too much light, go for the dimming effect. “Change your lampshades if you can’t dim your lights. make your living space as cozy as you can while saving energy at the same time,” Polish says.

Larry Aceves born about 1944 is the former superintendent of Franklin-McKinley School District and the Alum Rock Elementary School in 1979. From 1989 to 1991 he was Director General of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District in Watsonville, California, and in 1991 became the director Alum Rock School District in San Jose, California with a husband and a cat. The cat is the most difficult group. She wrote about everything from football to television of antique dolls, but he especially loves to share stories about their adorable children on her blog, Because I Said So by manipulating the status quo of education, while increasing student achievement, Aceves seems to be a realistic vision of school reform, listening skills and administrative experience required in public schools.

Cash in the attic: Althorp antiques clearout may raise more than £20m

April 9th, 2010

The sale, which will not encroach on Althorp’s core collection of 18th century treasures, will include one painting from Sir Peter Paul Rubens worth up to £12million and one by Il Guercino worth up to £8 million.

Earl Spencer, who announced last w

eek he is to marry for a third time, is expected to put the money towards the £10 million repair bill for the roof of Althorp as well as to pay for renovations on the rest of the historic estate.

A statement from the trustees of Althorp said: “For 18 years, the trustees at Althorp have significantly built up the estate through the acquisition, development and retention of commercial and residential property. The trustees believe now is the time to prepare for further, positive diversification and have therefore elected to sell a selection of works of art that are not core to the Althorp Collection.

“Their aim is to help the Althorp estate thrive for generations to come.”

The items will be sold over three auctions, starting with the paintings sold off at a special sale of Old Masters on July 6. Valuables from Althorp’s attics will be auctioned on another day with the third sale being items from Spencer House, an 18th century private palace in London which the Spencer Family lets.

Numerous historic items, put away in storage by past generations, are now being researched by auction house staff with about 500 lots destined for the attic sale.

However, Christie’s said yesterday that its specialists were still working room to room in Althorp’s attics, cellars and stables in the hope of uncovering more items before the catalogue was finalised.

Highlights so far include a set of four 19th century Irish glass table display centrepieces worth up to £25,000 that were commissioned by the 5th Earl Spencer while he was Viceroy of Ireland.

Orlando Rock, director of Christie’s Collections department, said: “The sale offers international collectors the unprecedented opportunity to acquire works of art from one of the most historic English Collections.

“This magnificent group embraces two sublime Old Master pictures and an array of treasures that have been stored in the attics and stables at Althorp, unseen for many years.”
