better place to relax after a long
day at work and make warm
memories with friends and
family? Now is the perfect time to make
your fireplace the center of family tradi-
tions by investing in a striking, hand-
carved mantel and surround—an ideal
way to enhance your interior décor and
increase the value of your home.
Hand-carved fireplace mantels and

with intricate detail and stunning

designs flooding the home market today,
custom design and the ageless beauty of

stone is being sought more than ever. The dura-
bility and craftsmanship that makes your home
uniquely yours is taking precedence over former
trends of stark minimalism. Finding expert
carvers is no simple undertaking, as trading
schools, even in Europe, are disappearing, mak-
ing their work in great demand all over the
world.
Some of the few that still practice this art
have developed a revolutionary form of
compressed stone, resulting in reconstituted
stone, preferable to real limestone because its
harder consistency makes it better suited to
the details, shadows, and sharp edges that
distinguish the traditional Tudor and Gothic
styles they often recreate. One of the great
qualities of well-carved stone is that it conveys a
sense of drama and mystery. Once it’s been
distressed, the look of composite stone so closely
resembles natural stone that designers and
architects can rarely tell the difference.
This exceptional material—paired with
expertise of master craftsmen—can turn any
vision of classic beauty into reality. Elaborate
decorations include fireplaces, urns, balustrades,
columns, window frames, and more.

How to Select
Art for Your Home
As an artist, I’d certainly
prefer that everyone buy
the art they love and then
find a place to put it. If you feel
strongly about a particular
work of art, this is certainly
the way to go. But you may
find that when you get the
art home and place it on a
wall or pedestal, it doesn’t
work with its surroundings.
By not “working,” I mean
the art looks out of place...

w
e all have different
decorating personalities.
Some people change their
furnishings frequently and equate home
décor to fashion trends. Others buy the
highest quality traditional furniture, keep it
forever, and plan to pass it down to their
children. And then there are those of us in
between who aren’t sure when we should
replace that sofa that’s just not quite right for
the space.
There is much to consider when planning
your decorating and furniture purchases. If
you’re feeling a bit lost about home decor
decisions, here are some tips to help get you
started.
1. Determine the real use of each room.
Which rooms need to be highly functional,
and which can be decorative or for special
occasions? What is your family’s lifestyle?
How much wear and tear will each room get
20 BAY LIVING • JUNE/JULY 2010
from kids, pets, or frequent entertaining?
2. Take stock of your current furniture. Do
you have family heirlooms, antiques, or very
high-quality furnishings? If so, you may
be keeping these pieces a long time, and
you have the option of reupholstering or
refinishing them to freshen their appearance
and function.
If you’re living with furniture that you’re
not fond of, doesn’t quite fit the space, or is
past its prime and not worth repairing, start
planning for buying some new pieces or
whole sets. You can always sell your old pieces
or donate them to a charitable organization.
3. Give some serious thought to your own
personal style. Look all around you for
inspiration and narrow down your favorite
colors and interior motifs. Magazines, books,
online sources, home shows, stores, and
professional decorators can all give you
insight into the types of décor that best suit
your style and make you feel at home.
Start a photo collection of styles that you
love – pictures of entire rooms, particular
pieces of furniture or fabrics, or even travel
photos of a Morrocan palace, an Italian villa,
or an English cottage. All these images will be
useful for inspiration whether you are
redecorating yourself or hiring a designer.
Ask yourself these questions: Do you love
formal settings or comfy/casual? What kind
What’s Your
Decorating
“Personality”?
of mood do you want to create in your room...
calm and relaxing, or dynamic and energetic?
Do you love color palettes with warm tones or
cool tones? Do you lean toward traditional or
contemporary? Which styles will complement
your home’s architectural character? All these
clues will help you pinpoint the unique decor
that best suits your personality.
4. Identify and work around a focal point
in each room. This can be a fireplace, a
conversational seating arrangement, a piece
of art, a window with a view, or many other
features.
5. Keep in mind natural traffic patterns
through and between rooms and arrange your
furniture accordingly for ease of movement
6. A common decorating challenge is to
define spaces in open floorplans. You can
achieve this with furniture arrangement, area
rugs, folding screens, a “wall” of tall house-
plants (consider bamboo), or sometimes even
a fountain or sculpture.
7. Choose your paint colors LAST! Take
samples of your fabrics, wood tones, and
flooring if possible when choosing paint
chips, and then bring the chips home to view
them in the room at different times during
the day.
There are many other considerations for
putting together your décor, whether in one
room or an entire house. If you decide to hire
a designer, make sure to check their
references, look through their portfolio,
establish a clear budget and time-frame, and
pull out that photo collection of the looks you
love. 

Moisture Control—
r educing your carbon footprint with
energy conservation begins below in
your home’s sub areas, basements,
and crawlspaces. As moisture enters the
home through the exposed earth in these
spaces as an invisible vapor stream, it
brings with it higher heating and cooling
costs, unpleasant odors, and asthma- and
allergy-causing mold spores. Crawlspace
encapsulation systems, sump pumps,
basement and garage waterproofing, and
drainage systems can help you eliminate
wasted energy, improve indoor air quality,
and create a more efficient, comfortable,
and economical home.
Most homeowners aren’t even aware
that moisture is constantly entering the
home with 30–50% of the air in the first
floor coming from the crawlspace. By
sealing your crawlspace and eliminating
this constant flow of air, your house will
retain heat better and cool more efficiently,
which can bring a 15–25% energy savings
and greatly enhance indoor comfort and
air quality.
Mold is a major factor when dealing
with poor air quality. Isolating your home
from the earth with CleanSpace ® will
reduce the relative humidity of the
crawlspace to a level in which mold
cannot grow or survive. Two-thirds of your
crawl space vents may then be sealed off
to prevent humid exterior air, which
makes moisture problems worse, from

directly beneath your floor, eventually
causing them to become cold and buckle.
For homes with basements or sunken
garages, water will enter through walls,
floors, and the joints between them, but
having a contractor dig out the side of a
house and install an exterior french drain
system isn’t a feasible option. The patented
WaterGuard ® system is designed as an
interior french drain. This unique drain
system intercepts water at the interior
perimeter and drains it safely away from
the floors and walls, keeping the basement
or garage dry permanently, allowing you
to utilize these spaces to their full
potential and create valuable living space
out of what was once wasted real estate.

The Artistic Alternative to
Concrete Resurfacing
Liquid Stone is the fast and affordable
way to repair and beautify your pool deck,
patio, walkways, driveways, and more. This
resurfacing material is made from acrylic
and polymer resins mixed with crushed
limestone. This unique combination brings
forth a brand new product—a liquid coating
that can be permanently applied over your
existing and tiresome concrete, giving it a
fresh new look.
When applied over the exiting surface,
Liquid Stone actually soaks in, filling cracks
and imperfections, bonding with the old
concrete to form a new layer. Once the surface
solidifies, a team of craftsmen hand carves
various patterns to reflect the most natural
stone finishes including flagstone, slate,
garden stone, travertine, and cobblestone. The
new surface is then hand stained according to
your choice of finish and exterior décor.
Introduce the look of an Italian villa,
Tuscan cottage, or Roman courtyard to your
patio, pool, or garden area. You can
incorporate virtually any design or theme you
desire with this highly customizable limestone
product. While the texture adds character and
depth, these coatings add only 1/4 to 1/2 inch
thickness to the existing surface.
Liquid Stone has endless applications,
is highly durable and versatile, and is the
perfect way to bring the look of scarred
natural stone to your outdoor landscape.
This technique and material is applied to
columns, walls, windows, and archways as
well as pool decks, patios, and driveways.
For more information on how Liquid
Stone can be custom-designed to enhance
the beauty of your home, you can call
Liquid Coating Designs at 866-886-2628 or
925-931-1937. Liquid Coating Designs has
set the standard in this industry, offering
experience and talent second to none.

Looking for a
Landscape Contractor?

f inding reputable and responsible land-

scape and exterior contractors can be
stressful and time-consuming for any
homeowner. When you get bids from different
companies on your own, you have to deal with
each contractor telling you that you need to use
different materials or a different design to com-
plete the project, and each company ends up
bidding on completely separate projects. By uti-
lizing a specialized referral service, you can
bypass the headaches while weeding out the
unreliable contractors and those that don’t spe-
cialize in your particular project.
When using a referral service, your landscape
consultant works with you and your budget to
come up with a design and list of materials for
your project to use as a base for obtaining bids
from three to four full-service contractors who
specialize in your type of project and with whom
they’ve worked and have a detailed knowledge of
for years. This way, each company bids on the
exact same project, giving you accurate esti-
mates for building costs and timelines. Multiple
bids from these contractors are presented in an
easy to read, side-by-side comparison, allowing
you to choose which one you prefer to meet with
pressure-free. And because contractors are will-
ing to pay a referral fee for obtaining a client so
easily, this service is 100% free to homeowners!
In just a few quick meetings, you can save your-
self a lot of time and energy by letting an experi-
enced referral service do all the grunt work.

patio furniture gets a lot of use—and with use
comes wear. If you have already invested in
high-quality furniture such as Brown Jordan,
Tropitone®, OW Lee®, Woodard, or
Homecrest™, refinishing is an excellent
alternative to buying new. Many homeowners
who are redecorating their exterior living
space choose to refinish their furniture with
different colored fabrics, saving 50% of the
cost of buying new. A professional patio repair
specialist can easily restore furniture in any
stage of life to like-new quality in a few
easy steps.
The process of patio furniture restoration
is virtually identical to the original manufac-
turing. The worn-out frame of your existing
patio furniture is sandblasted down to bare
metal in order to remove every speck of paint,
36 BAY LIVING • JUNE/JULY 2010

dirt, and rust. The frame is then inspected for
cracks and broken welds, and all necessary
repairs are made. After the frame is deemed
flawless, a powder-coated frame finish is
applied to the clean metal.
Powder coating is a spectacular process in
which powder particules are electrostatically
charged, applied to the metal frame, and then
baked in an oven at 400 degrees. The result is
excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and
better UV stability. After the frame of your
patio furniture is looking sparkling new,
brand new vinyl strapping is installed. If your
furniture requires fabric slings, measurements
are taken and new slings are sewn
and installed.

wrought iron or aluminum patio furniture,

magine your very own treehouse ready to be
enjoyed by your entire family. This unique
clubhouse is authentic to the core... the log a
real, old fallen tree. And the charming house
that jauntily crowns it is made from old,
recycled barn wood. Armed with the
acceptable password, simply enter the door in the
hollow log, climb up the ladder in its center, and
pull yourself through the trap door in the
clubhouse floor.
Just as no two trees are exactly alike, each
house is a unique creation. The recycled barn
wood varies as well, with colors that range from
old barn-red to a natural, weathered look. The
standard reaches about 14’ tall, with logs about
5’ in diameter and 6’ tall.
Standard options include a front porch,
fireman’s escape pole, flip down loft bed, rope
swing extending from the side of the log, a roof
dormer on one or both sides, and a slide coming
out of the back of the clubhouse. Nothing is more
exciting than the challenge of a custom order,
though!
The tree house can be shipped anywhere
in the country and comes in two units: the
clubhouse, and the log. Installation services are
available and lead time runs between 6-8 weeks.

c onsumers are seeking treatments
that will enhance their natural
appearance without the recovery time required
by major surgery and without the expense. With
more in-office treatments available than ever
before, consumers are able to work with skincare
professionals to create a set of treatments to
target their specific skin problems.
Treatments may include peels to treat acne,
which will make the skin appear smoother and
clearer. Lasers can be used at a deeper level to
resurface the skin, reduce fine lines and
wrinkles, as well as remove hair and spider veins.
The SmartXide DOT™ Therapy laser targets sun
damage, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and
brown spots with a single treatment. This therapy
uses fractional CO2 technology, which results in
minimal downtime (3–5 days). In addition,
Thermage® can tighten and rejuvenate the skin
with results that last more than two years. Body
by Thermage lifts sagging stomach, underarm,
and leg skin without painful surgery. Eyelid
Thermage is now available along with Thermage
deep sculpting and cellulite reduction to reduce
the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks!
A customized rejuvenation skincare plan may
include Botox ® to relax lines, plumping deep
lines and lips with Restylane ® or Perlane ®,
skin resurfacing with DOT Therapy and skin
tightening with Thermage.
The better you look, no matter what age, the
better you feel. If you are looking for a natural,
rejuvenated appearance without surgery, look
no further!
