We live in a high-tech world with newand improved gadgets,cell phones and com-puters coming outevery month. The sameis true of homeautomation. Having a“smart home” isbecoming more impor-tant to homeowners,and it is a reflection of
how we live our daily lives. On Page 30, discover the latest and
greatest in home automation technology.An important part of home automation issecurity. When an alarm is activated, acentral station operator can inform thepolice, and the homeowner can be notifiedthrough cell phone or e-mail messages.Security gates add another level of security,and outdoor lighting systems also helpkeep intruders away. Home automationsystems also can control lighting, audiosystems, thermostat, pool and spa func-tions as well as irrigation systems. The skyis the limit and your home can be as high-tech or low-tech as you like.
Then on Page 27, find out how mod-ern textiles can completely update the lookof your home. Many textiles on the mar-ket today reference 1950s and 1960s retrolooks, while others super-size a classic pat-tern to create a fresh, bold look. If modernis not usually your design style, re-invent atraditional room with pops of modern fab-ric to create interest. Mixing styles willhelp you create a unique look that is allyour own.
You’ll notice this issue includes theDallas Home & Garden Market showguide. Saturday, Sept. 11 to Sunday, Sept.13, don’t miss this special event at DallasMarket Hall, showcasing home and gardenexhibitors and a special Remodeler’sSurplus Sale.

Use it, toss it, bag it, carry it to the curb and forget about it — this isthe way most of us think about trash. Out of sight, out of mind. Getthe garbage as far away as possible. Even the most adventurous childrenhold their noses and make excuses to avoid carrying those nasty trashbags to the curb (“But, Mom, I did it last week!”). Of course, nobodywants to live next to their refuse … nor should they, given the potentialproblems associated with exposure to harmful bacteria, heavy metals andchemical contamination.
So, as we push discards out of our homes and into the waste stream,precisely what journey does garbage take from the curb to its final restingplace? The only slightly dramatized tale that follows is more grubby thanepic, more nauseating than whimsical, but a tale that nevertheless must betold: the tale of the trail of our trash.
CHAPTER 1: TRUCKIN’ THROUGH THE ’HOODMost homeowners have seen garbage trucks methodically making their waythrough the neighborhood, often with very sweaty men jumping on andoff to hoist bulging bags or mechanical arms lifting overflowing bins into achasm at the rear of the truck. Thus, the journey of trash begins with thesolid waste collection vehicle — or in Britain, the quaint-sounding dustbinlorry — a rolling ferry transporting garbage away from the quiet solace ofthe shire to a land of, well, more garbage. Once secured by the collectionvehicle, trash usually meets the wrath of a compactor to make room for itsmalodorous brethren. After collecting and compacting about six tons, thetruck departs.
CHAPTER 2: A STOP ON THE WAYWhile many trucks simply make their way to a landfill, others stop at atrash transfer station. Transfer stations are a kind of trash purgatory, a tran-sitional space between initial collection and final disposition. These garbagedepots consist of a simple slab of concrete — a tipping floor with or with-out walls or covering — designed to allow large trucks to dump their loadinto a large pile, where it is once again compacted and then packed intolarger trucks destined for the landfill. As you can imagine, the stench inside
and surrounding such a site often proves unbearable. All this is before thevectors — rats, raccoons, roaches and the like — enter the scene.
CHAPTER 3: A HAPPIER PLACEHowever, our discards occasionally meet with a different fate. Some facili-ties provide an area separate from the tipping floor for common recyclables,an area for brush and yard waste (used for composting), an area for build-ing materials or furniture or appliances, etc. When the essential function ofa transfer station becomes waste diversion and retrieval rather than wastecompaction and disposal, our rubbish has stumbled into a materials recov-ery facility (MRF). Here, recyclable metals, compostable organics, intactconstruction supplies and reusable items ranging from paint to microwavesto bed frames to bicycles are separated from the refuse. Some MRFs evenreach out to artists who can find aesthetic value in the unlikeliest junk.What’s more, the economics of recovery rival the environmental benefit: arecent study found that the Greater Austin area buries in landfills about$40 million annually in easily recoverable materials.
CHAPTER 4: AN UNPLEASANT GRAVEUnfortunately, materials recovery facilities are a rare breed in Texas, whichmeans that the journey taken by the vast majority of our trash still endswith land disposal. Trucks arrive from transfer stations or neighborhoodsat the landfill gate, where they are weighed, sometimes inspected by aspotter perched above the scales (checking for illegal items like freon-filledrefrigerators) and then waved on to the working face. There, trash meetswith more trash meets with menacing compactors — behemoth vehiclesoften equipped with massive spiked metal wheels and a dozer blade —load after load, hour after hour until, finally, the waste is covered with 6inches of dirt at the end of the day. This process of burying and coveringgarbage to prevent contact with moisture is fittingly known as dryentombment. Within this trash mountain our refuse finds its final restingplace. Or does it?
EPILOGUE: THE TRAIL OF TRASH … CONTINUEDA number of studies show that even modern landfills with liners eventuallyleak, allowing household chemicals and heavy metals to leach into soil andnearby water sources. Garbage dumps are the largest source of human-caused methane emissions, a greenhouse gas 23 times more potent thancarbon dioxide. Researchers have found high levels of mercury in somelandfill gas intended for venting. The journey of our trash may not endwith its entombment; it can come back to haunt us.
ALTERNATIVE ENDING: NO TRAIL AT ALLIn many ways, the tale of trash is choose-your-own-adventure rather thanscripted drama. Opportunities to divert our detritus from the trash trailexist at every turn in the story: we can purchase recycled and recyclablegoods, repair and reuse old items, donate to Goodwill or use Freecycle.orgfor unwanted things. Food and yard waste can go to a compost operationlike Texas Pure in Plano. Best Buy recycles old TVs and computers. Evenstyrofoam has a more suitable resting place than the landfill: a local compa-ny called Metro Foam recycles it and most packaging stores are happy totake the peanuts. This is the happier ending of the tale of the trail of trash… the ending that leaves no trail at all.

Modern textiles, with their spare lines andclean contrasts can do two things to an environment: They canfire it up with assertive colors and edgy patterns, or cool it downwith restraint and use of negative space. Often they use symbols,both evident and shadowy, from contemporary culture. Color isextremely important as it creates an emotional response especiallywhen combined with daring abstractions and spidery graphics.“Modern is present day, but timeless,” says Kimberle Frost, cre-ative director for the fabrics firm Designtex. “It has the pulse ofthe market.”
Modern textiles on the market today may reference retro looksfrom the 1950s and 1960s in styles ranging from mid-century to op
Designtex’s Alchemy Collection includes these patterns inspiredby antiquarian and modern jewelry: “Links,” “Facets” and“Chandelier.”

the colors of modern
“Any color can be beautiful in modern design, providing it is crisp, clear and saturated,” saysDorothy Cosonas with KnollTextiles. “Color trumps all. I’ve known from early on that even thebest design colored poorly will never sell.”
That being said, designers have noticed some currently popular colors. According toMary Ann Young, owner of Curtain Couture, traditional style is predominant in Dallas.Traditional color combinations such as golds, reds, browns and greens are evident through-out the market today, but there’s also a great deal of the combination of blue and brownwith touches of coral or lime green within the market, too, she says. “The neutral colorpalettes in Dallas remain fairly warm in tone leaning toward gold rather than gray, but I’mstarting to have clients work into neutral palettes that include gray, taupe, white and creamscombined in a sophisticated layer of color depths and tones,” she states. These, she adds,are neutral palettes spiced up with a punch of strong color with an accessory or art.
Young says that gray, purple and orange are new trendy colors appearing everywhere,being shown in many different and varying hues. “They’re being layered in varying degreeson their own and being combined,” she says. “The other under current I’m seeing is thereturn of stronger blues from royal to navy and a bit of light fleshy peach as a neutral,”she says.
Young also adds that strong, dark yellows are appearing as well, usually combined withblack and white. She says Dallas homeowners have always had impeccable taste when itcomes to interiors, but not enough courage to break out of the norm.
Kimberle Frost with Designtex agrees that pure gray is gaining strength in the market. “Itis especially nice when combined with a bright unexpected color, like yellow,” she says.

art, pop art and psychedelic. Or they can be as fresh andnew as some of today’s prints and weaves that take theirinspiration from computer circuit boards, pixels and dig-itized images.
Christy Sullivan, owner of Christy’s Draperies, sayscustomers today are keeping furnishings and textilessimple. “[For window treatments] more people are dec-orating with panels instead of all the elaborate toptreatments,” she says. “The modern textiles today haveclean lines, squares and circles. The younger generationfinds this appealing as they view these styles as retro,but it never fails that colors and trends always comeback around.”
TODAY’S TRENDS
According to Sullivan, customers have become bolderwith their color and fabric selections over the past fewyears. Before, it seemed everyone was a little afraid ofcolor and wanted to play it safe with neutrals, she says.“Now, I think people are seeing the possibilities that fab-ric can bring to the room,” she says. “Drapes are an easyand affordable way to add quick color, and in manycases, drapes can be the focal point. It’s a like a pieceof art that adds balance to the room.”
DwellStudio takes a traditional design and enlarges it for a modern take with its “Talon” duvet setand shams. Find DwellStudio products locally at Anthropologie.

Sullivan says floral-printed fabrics areslowly becoming popular again and thatsome colors and trends never go out of style.“Reds and any form of rust or burgundy arealways good,” she states. “Also gold stylespass the test of time.” Sullivan adds that silksand chenilles are popular today.
As for design style, Sullivan says tradi-tional is most popular, but homeownersaren’t afraid to mix what they like. “We seecontemporary mixed in with traditional,and we often convince our clients to tryriskier things they wouldn’t think is theirstyle,” she states. “In the end, if the cus-tomer likes the look and it fits the room,they don’t care what style it is. It’s all aboutwhat looks good.”
STEPPING OUT
If you want to venture out of the traditionalmode and try something with a more mod-ern look, Mary Ann Young, owner ofCurtain Couture, says homeowners need tofind the courage first to simplify, edit andremove overly traditional accessories, leavingonly a few favorite pieces in the room. Shesuggests infusing a few clean-lined furniturepieces, such as a coffee table or accent lamp,and replacing traditional heavy lamps withsleek and simple ones and other accessories.“The addition of contemporary or abstractart can quickly lighten a traditional look, cre-ating interesting composition,” she says.“Keeping upholstered pieces, which are tex-tural, solid or even striped, as opposed to flo-ral, damask or paisley, will help to create amore contemporary feel.”
Perhaps Dorothy Cosonas, creative direc-tor for KnollTextiles, explains modern tex-tiles best: “Modernism is not limited to anyspecific application. Modernism as a point ofview really addresses the functional need ofthe moment — devoid of unnecessary orna-ment, but beautiful in the expression.Modernism as a style is almost irrelevant.The end result that is correct for a use iswhat really counts. Simple beautyalways works for me.”

THE AUTOMATED HOMECONTROL WITH THE TOUCH OF A BUTTON
As technology keeps improving, manufacturers areconstantly finding ways to improve our quality oflife. Recent breakthroughs in home automation provide home-owners many options for activating alarm systems, controlling tem-perature, music and lighting, all while creating a comfortable andwelcoming ambiance.
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION
Options abound for homeowners when selecting a security systemfor their home. Ray Cherry, vice president of sales at Dallas SecuritySystems says the company offers two great options. Through cellularcommunications, alarms can be reported to the central station,using the company’s Digital Monitoring Products (DMP) XT seriespanels. This option is handy in case of a phone line failure. Whenan intruder activates the alarm system, signals are sent from the con-trol panel to the company’s central station. Central station operatorsuse this information to call the police. “The alarm panel sends thehomeowner messages every time an event occurs,” Cherry says.“These can be alarms or each time the alarm system is turnedon/off. The system also has the ability to be programmed into nor-mal operating hours, only sending messages if the system isn’tturned on or turned off at the programmed time in the morning.”
A second choice is via network/Internet communications. Usingthis option, the alarm panel can send the homeowner e-mail mes-sages. Messages are sent each time something happens to the alarmpanel. The system also allows homeowners to monitor who visitsthe home.
The OmniTouch 10p Touchscreen is a portable 10.4 inch IP-based touch screen that has an Ethernet portand built-in WLAN.

Security gates, such as this one by Dallas Security Systems, add an extra level of security to a home. Alarms and security cameras can also be installed for added protection.

Cherry says security gates are desirable and very sophisticated these days. “Somegates swing or slide open,” he says. “Most homeowners will have an entry tele-phone system installed. A camera is built into this and the homeowner is alert-ed each time a visitor pushes a button. The homeowner can both talk to andbuzz in the visitor.”
Having an outdoor lighting system is another important security measurefor homeowners to consider. Lighting creates ambiance for the home, whilekeeping intruders away. John Pritchett, Draftsman for John Watson LandscapeIllumination, emphasizes the importance of outdoor lighting. “Aesthetic light-ing accents the trees from underneath, producing a reflection of lighting down-ward. Security lighting is mounted above the ground, shining down, creatingshadow,” he says. “When assembled, our lighting creates a moonlight affect.”According to Pritchett, security lighting can go on and off with the use of atimer or switch.
Shannon Watson, president and owner of John Watson LandscapeIllumination, says the company offers two popular lighting options. “Mercuryvapor gas discharge lighting lasts 24,000 hours, the equivalent to being burnedall night, every day for four years,” he says. “Light-emitting diode lights burn50,000 hours, equal to 10.5 years all night, every night. These lights use 85 per-cent less electricity per watt.”
GETTING CREATIVE AT HOME
In addition to having a safe and secure home on the outside, automated light-ing and entertainment systems inside the home are just as popular, according toJay Francis, president of McKinney Smart Homes, which offers the Omni lineof systems from Home Automation Inc., as well as other top-of-the-line homecontrol systems, lighting control products and home audio products. Francisadds that home automation is about comfort, convenience, security and energysavings. “Home automation is the control and remote access of your home’ssystems such as lighting, appliances, entertainment, heating and air condition-ing, pool and spa, as well as an irrigation system,” he says.
Instead of walking into a dark house, homeowners can elect to have theirinterior and exterior lights come on by accessing the remote garage door opener.An armed system can check if the garage door is left open on accident. Garage
doors can be controlled remotely when armed at night or they can be set up toclose automatically 30 minutes after the homeowner leaves for work. If thegarage door is left open, the home automation system can close it. This optiondecreases a thief’s access into the house.
Homeowners can also set the home’s temperature for everyday comfort. Bysetting the thermostat to the desired level, the temperature will remain at thatsetting at times the homeowner isn’t home or vacationing.
Some homeowners prefer to control the home’s functions with a touchscreen, eliminating wall plates throughout the home, giving the user completecontrol with the press of a button.
COUNTING THE COSTS
Homeowners have many choices for ultimate comfort in home automation.Francis says a beginning automation system could start at about $5,000 andeasily go up to six figures. “It all depends on variables such as square footage ofthe home, lights that will be controlled, number of touch screens and key padsused, number of control locations in the home, number of thermostats, pool orspa control, any cameras or gate control, number of rooms with music access,and finally, if the home is being constructed or is already existing,” he says.
Having your property properly illuminated is an important part of home security. John WatsonLandscape Illumination offers dramatic lighting systems to help keep intruders away and createambiance outside the home.
Available through McKinney Smart Homes,the OmniTouch 5.7 allows control of lightsand small appliances, security and tempera-ture settings, pool and spa temperatures,ventilation, decorative lighting, Whole HomeAudio Systems, surveillance video and otheritems linked to an HAI Home Control system.
