Spring is
the time to
see green
W
hen we start thinking “spring,” one color comes
to mind. Tender pea shoots, that soft fuzziness
on budding trees, a new lawn — there’s a palette
of greens that herald nature’s shift to the warm seasons.
And there are many fresh
ways to bring green indoors
with paint and furnishings.
“Green is Mother Nature’s favorite color. It’s so
abundant in the world
around us that we’re accustomed to seeing it as a background color,” says Lee
Eiseman, head of the Eiseman Center for Color Information and Training near
Seattle.
She also points out the
KIM COOK
“good-for-you” connotations of green — eating fruits and
vegetables, juicing and so on —
and the generally calming nature
of the hue.
“We’re looking for that restful
shade to bring the outside in, and
provide balance in our
lives,” she says.

for PPG Brands,

The company has chosen Paradise Found as their 2016
color of the year. It’s a soothing gray-green with a hint of
blue.
Greens like this play well with others. Combining graygreen with matte black modernizes a traditional space.
Paired with white, the color becomes more mineral and organic.
Farrow & Ball has a new, leafy, verdant hue with historic
provenance to help commemorate the paint maker’s 70th
anniversary.
“Yeabridge Green was originally found in an 18th century
Georgian farmhouse in the (United Kingdom) county of
Somerset,” creative director Charlie Cosby recalls. During
renovation, an original gun cupboard was removed, revealing the paint color.

Design blogs
Online decor
resources
offer endless
suggestions
By SARAH WOLFE
Associated Press
There’s Houzz. Remodelista. Home design Twitter feeds. Tumblr accounts.
And of course, the granddaddy of all online decor
depositories — Pinterest.
It’s easy to get overwhelmed by online resources when remodeling
or redecorating. Where
should you start?
For homeowner Sarah
Schuster Canahuati, creating an “ideabook” on
Houzz was the perfect way
to mesh her rustic, farmhouse style with her husband’s more modern tastes
when they began renovating their Los Gatos, Calif.,
home recently.
“It was a very helpful
way to give our architect
and designer very clear
ideas of what we wanted in
our remodel, from paint
colors to appliances to
overall style,” she says.
Home design experts and
contractors echo those
thoughts, and offer the following tips on how to harness the bounty of the Internet for your next project:

and designer Sean Juneja

and other online resources
to help design a clutter-free,
serene retreat from the
bright lights and busy
streets of New York City in a
high-rise apartment on the
Upper East Side. In photo at

Juneja used the online resources to help design a
light and airy breakfast
nook in the apartment.

GET ORGANIZED
First, figure out the scope
of your project and your
goals.
Redoing
your
kitchen, for example, is a
lot different and more involved than finding a few
natural accents for your
living room mantle.
Are you going to do the
work yourself? How-to
blogs and sites like All
Things Thrifty, DIY Network and This Old House
are your new BFFs.
Looking more for ideas
to pass on to a contractor or
designer? Head over to
Houzz or Pinterest.
Don’t overlook retailers
though. Paint company
websites are an underutilized home-design resource, says New York designer Karen Gray Plaisted.
“Many times, clients
have problems with colors,” she says. “Benjamin
Moore, Sherwin Williams
and PPG Paints all have
fantastic
interactive
sites†to allow them to
‘try’ a color out, or find a
palette virtually first. It also helps me as a decorator
to then narrow down the array of colors to find the
right one for them.”
Annalisa Nash Fernandez, a Connecticut business
owner and self-described
“serial mover,” started a
Facebook group with
friends who are also into
decorating.
“I post all my design
quandaries there, and get
instant feedback,” she says.
FIND YOUR STYLE
Figure out what you love.
Are you a boho-chic kind
of girl or do you gravitate
more toward the clean, traditional lines of craftsmanstyle homes?
“To use home-design
websites to find your own
style, I’d advise you to pin
or bookmark photos of every single room you love,”
says Amy Bell, owner of
Red Chair Home Interiors
in Cary, North Carolina.
“The more rooms you save,
the larger your ‘data sample’ will be. Once you
have collected many images, take a step back and
look for common themes
that the images share.”
Are there recurring colors
or color combinations? Are
you drawn to dramatic contrasts, like white cabinets
paired with dark floors?
Are the rooms sparsely or
heavily furnished and accessorized? What do you
notice about architectural
elements like windows,
doors, fireplaces and ceiling height?
“Having a theme and
palette in mind really helps
narrow down the infinite
options on design sites and
blogs,”
says
Patricia
Leitao, marketing manager
and blogger for the Bostonbased site homeyou, which
matches homeowners with
area contractors.
CREATE A PROJECT
PAGE OR BOARD
“Collection” sites like
Houzz and Pinterest allow
users to create an unlimited number of boards or
“ideabooks.” Go big and
create one board for your
entire project, or go smaller with more specific
boards like “paint colors,”
‘’accessories,”
‘’furniture,” etc.
As a way to keep track of
ideas, these are easier and
more visual than a list of
bookmarks or a scrapbook
of pages ripped from
books and magazines.
They’re also a great resource if you decide to hire
a contractor or home designer.
“We love going through
our clients’ inspiration
boards on content-rich
sites. It gives us an immediate look into their personal style and preferences, and we can help
them narrow down exactly
what will fit into their
space and budget,” says
Margo Nathanson, a designer with San Franciscobased InteriorCrowd.
DESIGN IT
YOURSELF
If you’re looking for the
ultimate in control, IKEA,
Lowe’s and smaller sites
like Roomstyler let you design your own rooms from
scratch with a virtual planner. Type in your room’s
dimensions, then drag and
drop furnishings, windows
and other elements where
you want.
Try an unlimited variety
of cabinet and countertop
combinations when remodeling your kitchen. Or
see what your living room
would look like with
wooden floors. Then tile.
Maybe concrete.

Chicken
paprikash
is a true
comfort food
In this recent

garden in downtown Carbondale,
Ill. Powers said additional volunteers
turn out on the
weekend to work
on the plot that he
calls a food factory.

Community gardens growing
hood. A youth group also
used several spaces in the
garden. Common Greens is
planning to install a rainwater collection system and
plant some fruit trees.
“In the spirit of ‘Can you
Dig This,’ we’d like to get
local folks involved,” Kunath said.
Kunath said volunteers are
needed at both gardens. The
work of clearing at Birch
Street Community Garden
has already begun.
“They can basically volunteer with us and we will
provide the space for them
to garden,” Kunath said.
Marion Street is set up for
renting. A household can
have more than one plot if
all of the plots are not
claimed.
“Both gardens are previously owned by the city. It is
our second successful attempt to convert vacant
land,” Kunath said. “We
hope to maintain good relationship with the city.”
To volunteer or for more information, contact Kunath at
[email protected]
om or call 618-303-0703.
Flyover Community Gardens offers volunteers a
chance to work in exchange
for produce. Volunteers
work in the garden throughout the growing season, and
they will receive a share of
fresh produce.
The garden includes 15
raised beds and a food forest. The raised beds follow a
MARILYN HALSTEAD,
The Southern Illinoisan
An AP member exchange
CARBONDALE, Ill. —
There are about as many
models for community gardens as there are gardens.
Many community gardens
offer a space to garden in
exchange for a small
amount of rent for the growing season. At other gardens, volunteers work together and share the harvest.
Common Greens has two
garden projects in Carbondale, one on Birch Street
and the other on Marion
Street.
“We are starting our next
community garden complex, Birch Street Community Garden. We are going
to try to get a special use
permit from the city for a
greenhouse,” said Sorrel
Kunath of Common Greens.
“It’s about a block wide. We
are trying to get folks involved in the committee to
make plans.”
Their first garden, Marion
Street Community Garden
at 301 N. Marion St., offers
garden plots to members of
the community in exchange
for a small amount of rent.
Kunath said the rent basically pays the water bills. It
currently has 22 raised beds.
Last year, the Marion
Street Community Garden
had five or six neighborhood families rent space and
another three or four who
lived outside the neighbor-
hugelkultur model, meaning
the beds are raised by burying logs and covering them
with soil and mulch.
The garden group meets
Sundays at Flyover Infospace across the street from
the garden.
Orlan and Chastity Mays
of Mustard Seed Sowers Urban Farm use their community garden to educate the
public about gardening in
general, as well as sustainable gardening techniques.
Because the garden is located in a neighborhood, a
lot of people stop to admire
the garden and ask questions.
“We don’t have where you
can rent space. People can
come, see what we are doing
and ask questions,” Chastity
Mays said. “We are in the
community and want to start
the conversation. They can
come to us any time and we
will teach them about sustainable growing.”
Mays said they saw the
empty lot seven years ago
and wanted to get their own
garden plot and grow their
own food. The couple is
committed to using no
chemicals or machinery in
their garden. They wanted to
show people that gardening
does not require fancy
equipment. The garden now
has a hoop house, too.
“Orlan is the one who
grows all the food,” she
said. “He does all the hard
work.”

with shades of green.”

Chicken paprikash is the
kind of dish that reveals itself
immediately and inarguably as
comfort food, even if you’ve
never eaten it before in your
life.
It’s a classic Hungarian dish
which features chicken, onions,
broth, tomatoes (sometimes,
not always) and of course copious amounts of paprika. I have
been playing around with my
tin of smoked paprika for quite
a while now, and while I love
the flavor, it can come on
strong. So here I relied primarily on the typical sweet Hungarian paprika, then added a little
bit of smoked to give it another
level of flavor. You also could
add a bit of hot paprika to give
the dish a different kind of kick.
If you are the kind of person
to make your own dumplings
or noodles, this is a great moment to whip out that skill set.
For the rest of us, and for a
weeknight dinner, a bag of egg
noodles fits the bill perfectly.
You don’t want to heat the sour
cream in the sauce over the
stove, or it might curdle. Just
stir it into the pot at the very
end and it will add a tangycreamy note to the warm sauce.
CHICKEN
PAPRIKASH
Start to finish: 45 minutes
Servings: 8
3 pounds boneless, skinless
chicken thighs
Kosher salt and ground
black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 large yellow onions, quartered lengthwise and thinly
sliced crosswise
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons all-purpose
flour
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon smoked or hot
paprika (optional)
2 bay leaves
14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
2 cups low-sodium chicken
broth
3/4 cup sour cream
16-ounce bag egg noodles
Season the chicken with salt
and pepper. In a very large,
deep heavy saute pan (such as
cast-iron) over medium-high,
heat the oil. When the oil is hot,
add the chicken and cook for
about 4 minutes. Flip the
chicken and cook for another 4
minutes; it will not be cooked
through. Transfer the chicken

to a plate. It’s fine if there are
bits stuck to the pan.
Return the pan to medium
heat and add the onions. Saute
for 5 minutes, or until softened
and moderately browned. Stir
in the garlic and saute for another minute. Stir in the flour
and both varieties of paprika,
stirring for 1 minute, or until
well mixed. Add the bay
leaves, tomatoes and broth.
Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom to loosen any stuck bits.
Return the chicken to the
pan, along with any juices on
the plate. Cook for another 10
minutes, or until the chicken is
cooked through.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot
salted water to a boil and cook
the egg noodles according to
package directions. Drain and
divide between serving plates.
When the chicken is cooked,
remove the pan from the heat.
Remove the bay leaves from
the sauce and discard, then stir
in the sour cream. Top each
portion of noodles with chicken and sauce.
