Feeling Roomyeditor’sletter
It’s 6 a.m. and quiet where I sit. Peaceful, with just a little
drizzle outside. It’s nice here. It’s
roomy.
Roomy is a new state of mind in my
home. This past weekend we cleared
the clutter of moving boxes in our
walk-out basement. We rearranged
furniture, brought in a new dining
table and began to paint the oppressive wood paneling. In
short, we invigorated the entire lower �oor and it’s paid off in
a really unexpected way.
Sure, I completely expected to love getting rid of those #@&*(@#
boxes. I knew I’d love watching a movie on the new couch. But
what I didn’t expect is how renewing this �oor has kind of…
renewed our family time? As weird as that sounds.
After two tiring days of organizing, sweating and occasionally
grumping at each other, we threw ourselves a cookout to
celebrate. That cookout quickly became the most fun, loud,
giggly family time we’d had in months!
I tried to put my �nger on what felt so different and I �nally
realized that the new layout was responsible for this cohesive,
new feeling. Before—one of us would be upstairs reading, one
in another room playing Legos and a third grilling outside. But
now we could do this all in one open space. One wonderful,
roomy space.
And my makeover is minimal compared to the major overhauls
you’re going to see as you �ip through this magazine. I mean,
if a coat of paint and some furniture moving can feel this
great, what effect must some of those massive kitchen, or
whole house renos feel like? There’s the real reason people
invest in their homes. The ROI isn’t just resale value - it’s in
how these renovations transform their family life. That’s
invaluable stuff. It’s worth every penny invested, every tarp
on the furniture, every smudge of construction dust.
After this weekend, I’m so inspired to make my home �ow
even better for my family. I hope you �nd similar inspiration
in this, our very special Best of Before & After edition. (Psst!
Don’t cheat and �ip to the back. Just like the Oscars, we’re doing
our biggest reveal – the Whole House winner – at the very end!)
There really is something to be learned from each project.
Make sure you read the Judges’ Comments! They offer key
takeaways from each project. So get reading this issue. Get
inspired. Get roomy.

I love the look of marble
countertops in the kitchen,
but I’ve heard they stain
and scratch easily. Is
there anything that looks
like marble that is more
practical for kitchen use?
Marble is a stunning
countertop surface, but it
does have care and
maintenance concerns when
used in a kitchen setting. If
you want the look of marble
without the issues, a
man-made quartz surface is
an excellent option. Quartz
surfaces are composed of at
least 97% natural quartz
chips and a composite
material.
This combination creates a
stain- and scratch-resistant
surface perfect for high
traf�c countertop areas.
There are many brands of
quartz on the market. All
brands have a large pallet of
colors to suit any design
scheme, including several
colors that emulate the soft,
sweeping veining that is
desired in natural marble.
This natural marble look
makes using a quartz
product the perfect solution
to achieve the look of marble
countertops…without all the
worry.

albeit delicious—calories. Find out more at

homefrontTerminix July Bug TipIt’s Fair Time!
The best way to relate to you how awesome the Georgia Fair is going to be is to
simply list out everything that is scheduled. Ready? Racing pigs, carnival rides, a
Pioneer Village, moonshine demos, craftsmen and artisans and parades. Still not
convinced? Then we have two words for you: Mel Tillis. See you there. For more
info, visit GeorgiaMountainFairgrounds.com.
Time for a quick bug tip from our
friends at Terminix. This is just an
excerpt from a (much) longer list
of insect prevention tips, which
you can check out on our blog at
http://bit.ly/BugsBay. But for now,
here’s how to keep one particular
creepy-crawly from ruining your
summer fun:
Keeping Ants at Bay
When landscaping, avoid using
plants like roses, shrubs and fruit
trees that are prone to aphids and
similar insects, which ants use
as a primary food source. Layers
of mulch and heavy vegetative
ground covers hold the moisture
needed by ants to thrive.
Store any �rewood away from the
home and remove any dead wood
or wood scraps from around the
exterior foundation, where ant
colonies can often be found.
Seal all plumbing or roof leaks and
check crawl spaces and attics for
excess moisture.

Runners, Start Your Engines!It’s a hot, hometown sweaty institution and it’s happening this month. The
Peachtree Road Race will take place on July Fourth and thousands of runners
and families will be there. Will you? What began on July 4, 1970 with only 150
runners has swelled to a massive event that is now the largest 10k in the world!
Runners start in ‘waves’ which begin at 7:30 a.m. But you don’t have to be a
runner to be part of the action. You can cheer the runners on at several pre-
arranged shady spots and meet your favorite runner at the Family Meeting Area
afterwards. For more information, visit PeachtreeRoadRace.org

Judges’ Thoughts:• I love how they mixed the textures. The ceramic beveled tile with the red
brick. You’ve got shiny, you’ve got rough. You’ve got white, you’ve gotwood.
• The style is traditional but it’s adapted to today’s lifestyle. This is the newtraditional!
• ecause it’s not matchy matchy it looks like you took some of the old andthe new. little tip of the hat to history.
Mixed textures add interest. Shiny meets rough, white meets wood
A banquette was added for extra seating and storage

56 ATLANTA HOME IMPROVEMENT JULY 2014 www.atlantahomeimprovement.com
As you fl ip through all these jaw-dropping after photos (especially compared to the befores!), you may be wondering exactly who is deciding what constitutes a winning Before/After project. So let us introduce you to our three fantastic judges, all of whom bring loads of experience and impeccable taste to this contest.
Bulent Baydar, AIA, NCARB, is a project architect at Harrison Design Associates. His keen eye for structure and form was absolutely instrumental in the judging process. We leaned heavily on his expertise when it came to judging the more substantial remodeling work in our winners’ projects. We appreciate Bulent’s unique perspective and that he took time out of his busy schedule to judge on our panel.
“ I particularly loved how many of these projects used a mixture of various textures and colors, like the warm and the cool.”
Barbara English, CEO of To The Trade Only, worked for 20 years as a designer and currently runs her business-to-business marketing � rm To The Trade Only. She was also an interior designer and remodeling general contractor both in Georgia and Florida for 25 years. She founded and ran the design & � lm trade show called The Next Cool Event. Barbara’s humor and incisive critiques added much to the judging process and we’re grateful she took the time to contribute.
“There was a lot of vision in all of these projects. And a lot of planning. None of these looked like somebody was winging it by the seat of their pants!”
Susan V. Hill, President of the Georgia Chapter of the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) & Alpharetta Branch Manager and Senior Designer of Traditions in Tile. Susan’s extensive design experience, speci� cally her tile trend knowledge, came in extremely handy when we were judging the kitchen and bath projects. Her insightful feedback also added to our overall judging and we are thankful she agreed to be part of the 2014 judging team.
“Some of the best projects here were a great blend of contemporary and traditional…and that is what makes something timeless.”
