8 HOUSE AND HOME June 2012
Across the country at different times of the year, local build-ers’ associations orchestrate a major and infl uential event for public consumption—the Parade of Homes. In our
region, the Acadian Home Builders Association holds its event in April followed by the Capital Region Builders Association in May. As part of the Parade, local home builders and their support teams work for many weeks and even months to prepare a vast com-bined selection of brand new homes to feature on the open-door tour. Their efforts culminate in a community-wide event that gener-ally spans two weeks or consecutive weekends and is attended by a public eager to witness trends in home design and material selec-tions, as well as professional resources. Fittingly, the homes on tour span a wide range of price, size and style.
I imagine one major reason the Parade of Homes is so successful in attracting many hundreds if not thousands of people each year is that it represents a rare opportunity to see a variety of attractive and available new homes in a single afternoon or weekend. And while we know that home tours have vast appeal, the motivation to visit Parade homes varies widely among the individuals who tour them.
For some tour-goers, there is the pure and simple motive to shop, identify and purchase a new home. For others, the Parade represents an opportunity to scope out workmanship by professional builders and craftsmen in the interest of a future building or remodeling proj-ect. Yet another group of people tours the often-decorated homes in an effort to gleam the latest styles prevalent in home plans, furnish-ings and related décor. Others tour the Parade of Homes for nothing more than its pure entertainment value. After all, many of us simply love to look at homes for no particularly practical reason whatsoever.
In this issue of House & Home, we bring you inside of eight homes we found to be particularly well appointed and furnished during the recent Parade events in Lafayette and Baton Rouge. What-ever your level of interest in the projects featured, you’re sure to fi nd some enviable features that translate into motivation for your own home search or future building, remodeling, decorating or entertain-ing project. Alternatively, you might fi nd yourself simply entertained. ■
A man builds a fi ne house; and now he has a master, and a task for life: he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days.
–Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Let our team of Certified Designers work wonders redesigning the space of your dreams. We plan the placement of amenities, cabinetry, storage and lighting... We can also help with the product selections for flooring, countertops, and paint colors. Let us show you
the difference space planners can make for your new construction or remodeling project.” - Richard Ourso, CKD, CAPS
Exceptional Designs for Kitchens, Baths and Outdoor Living Spaces
A:Traditionally, anyone interested in building
a home would need to fi nd a designer/architect to create construction drawings. Once the plans are completed, the project is put out for bid to various contractors before a selection is made. Hiring a design/build contractor means the client deals with one entity to both design and build their project.
As long as the design/ build contractor gives the client an
option to “back out” of construc-tion after the design phase is completed, I don’t see any dis-advantages to this arrangement. In fact, there are many practical considerations in favor of work-ing with a design/build contrac-tor. These range from more accu-rate cost estimating, overall cost savings and design fl uency from conceptualization to completion. The design/build scenario can save time in the overall project by eliminating the often time-
consuming process of gathering a variety of competitive bids.
Most clients are not construc-tion experts, making it diffi cult to identify potential builders who are best suited for their individual design project. In the design/bid/build scenario, clients often choose a contractor based on cost alone, which can lead to problems with quality.
A design/build contractor is better positioned to monitor goals of budget, schedule and
quality, ensuring they are car-ried out from the design phase through the project’s completion. Also, the design/build contractor is responsible for the whole proj-ect, simplifying communications with the client and eliminating the need to work with a variety of different contractors in order to get the project completed. Fi-nally, there is no chance of fi nger pointing between the designer and contractor, since they are one in the same. ■

10ReasonsWhy They DeserveYour Business
[ TakE 10 ]
1 — What we do
In all of our 5 stores, we carry fine outdoor
furniture and offer expert pool care,
including free computerized pool water
analysis and year-round swimming pool
maintenance and repairs. In Baton Rouge
and Gonzales, we sell Caldera hot tubs
and above-ground pools. In Lafayette
and Lake Charles, we sell Hot Spring Spa
hot tubs, above grounds and custom-
designed inground pools.
2 — The extras we can offer
As an authorized BioGuard dealer, we
have been providing expert pool care for
37 years. Whether you care for your pool
yourself or contract with our maintenance
department, we keep your pool healthy,
clear and sparkling blue with BioGuard
water care programs for chlorine, non-
chlorine and salt pools. We carry a
complete inventory of pool replacement
products, equipment, supplies and toys. If
it’s related to pools or hot tubs, we have it.
3 — One thing you might not know
Come into one of our showrooms and
you will find the perfect outdoor furniture
for your backyard. Our big furniture
showrooms are on Perkins Road in Baton
Rouge, Kaliste Saloom Road in Lafayette
and Common Street in Lake Charles, with
smaller selections at our Gonzales and
West Congress (Lafayette) stores.
4 — A fact that might surprise you
New customers are impressed with the
huge selection of outdoor furniture
we carry year-round. From solid cast
aluminum and all-weather wicker to eco-
friendly recycled poly furniture, we have it
all for outdoor dining and living rooms.
5 — About trends and local concerns
People want to extend their living space
into the back yard with outdoor furniture
as stylish and comfortable as the inside
of their homes. People are buying high
quality, durable and long-lasting dining
and living groups with cushions, pillows
and rugs in all the latest colors.
6 — About the business, in one word
Specialists. We offer specialized products
and services, and it is our people–our
specialists—that make us successful.
7 — Defining good customer service
We guide you through all the factors to
consider when making a large purchase,
so that in the end, you are pleased with
the outcome. We help you to make the
right choice that improves the quality of
your life.
8 — About dollars and “sense”
We offer high-quality products that make
your life easier and more pleasant with the
least effort and expense. We’ve selected
products for our customers that we know
and trust to be very reliable.
9 — Why we’re different
We operate all aspects of our business
full-time, year-round. Our stores are fully-
staffed and fully-stocked all year with
pool care and outdoor furniture products,
and our construction and maintenance
teams work every day except Sundays and
major holidays. We’ve been building our
business for the last 37 years and we’ll be
here tomorrow to support the work we’re
doing today.
10 — My idea of a great day at work
The best day for me is when a new
customer comes in and is excited to have
found us to care for the pool or to shop
our pools, hot tubs or outdoor furniture.
They get so excited when they see what
we have to offer and I am thrilled to help
them find just what they need to create
their perfect back yard setting! n

Israeli Couscous Salad
As a cook, the approach to
and onset of summer always
excites me. Breaking the wintry
monotony of stews, braises, roasts and
other heavy dishes with a charge of clean,
crisp and refreshing flavors is like spring’s
revolution in the kitchen. However, after an
entire season of devouring heavy, sauce-
laden dishes, eating light can leave you
hungry for more.
I love salads and always have, for
some reason. I find them interestingly
refreshing, but unfortunately less than
filling which often leads to a topping
some sort of grilled meat or seafood
and a creamy dressing. This season,
I’ve been experimenting with some
unconventional salads. As I began a
routine of early morning running, I needed
to eat something light, but filling, in the
evenings. Eventually, this process of
trial and error led me to several basic,
satisfying ingredients for some really
fantastic salads: Israeli couscous, bulgur
wheat, brown rice, farro
and quinoa.
Israeli couscous seems
to pop in your mouth
like salmon roe whether
you serve it hot or
cold. I love it tossed
with some of my
family’s favorite salad
ingredients and served
alongside a juicy
roasted chicken.
One of my favorite
ways to enjoy bulgur
wheat is to make the popular Middle
Eastern salad, tabouli. Tossed with
a generous amount of fresh parsley,
tomatoes, olive oil and lemon juice, this
earthy salad has all the simplicity of
preparation with intense flavors that one
could desire from a meal so healthy.
Some time ago in my home, we
switched completely from white to
brown rice – and I couldn’t be happier
about it. Aside from the obvious health
advantages, brown rice just has so much
more flavor to offer than its more refined,
pale white counterpart. But it’s not often
that we associate brown rice as a salad
ingredient, chilled down and tossed with
savory marinated mushrooms, tomatoes
or spinach.
Farro is yet another ancient grain,
eaten for millennia, that’s become lost
among our supermarket offerings. But
for the health conscious, this easy-to-
prepare grain tossed with roasted peppers
and fresh mozzarella can provide the
perfect mix of energy with flavor.
Among all of these fascinating
ingredients, the tiny grains of quinoa
are my favorite salad accompaniment.
These micro seeds from South America
resemble sesame seeds in appearance
and somewhat in taste. Drained, chilled
and tossed with simple ingredients, the
unassuming quinoa is refreshing and
substantial.
If you crave something lighter yet
more substantial than just ribbons of
lettuce and tomatoes on a plate, try these
wonderful grains in your next salad. You’ll
be pleasantly surprised how splendid they
taste and how splendid you’ll feel. n

CANVAS I grew up in New Orleans and
attended Ursuline Academy. Later, I
graduate from LSU with a psychology
degree. I’ve studied abstract painting
under Allison Stewart and oil painting
classes at NOMA.
PRIMER I feel my artistic tendencies
began when I was in third grade and I
drew a fish unlike anyone else’s in the
class. I still have that drawing in my
studio. I have always been creative, using
my talents in many ways. Color and
design have always inspired me.
MEDIA My paintings are an array of
colors and textures blended with light
diffusion. I use plaster, acrylics and oil
pastels.
GENRE I enjoy painting abstracts
because there are no limitations. The
forms tend to come together as the
layers of color blend.
INFLUENCE Beautiful weather and music
influence my art the most. I love to leave
my studio door open, pick out some
music that suits my mood and paint
for hours. I also like to work on several
pieces at any given time.
DOLLARS & SENSE I prefer to create art
whenever an idea comes to me, but I’ve
been happy to do many commissioned
pieces for clients.
SHOW Currently, my art is shown in Baton
Rouge at Rue Cou Cou, The Foyer, Mercer
Studio and Yogalates II South.
AHEAD My future goal as an artist would
be to create something every day. I love
the feeling of transforming a blank canvas
into a mesh of colors and textures.n
