Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS were featured in the December Issue of Do! Magazine. Do! is a popular magazine read by the ever growing “do it yourself” market. They wanted to show their readers how to correctly install columns on both the interiorand exterior of a house, and they asked Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS for some help. Even though Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS are the columns most specified by builders, architects, and designers, and their customers are usually not people who “do it themselves” they gamely stepped in to show how you could ‘do it yourself’, if you wanted to.  

 

The folks at Chadsworth gave step-by-step installation instructions that were clear andconcise, as well as told readers what they should have on hand, and what they should dobefore starting the installation. They gave Do! photographs to illustrate each step as well.And, they followed through with important installation notes that will save thehomeowner time and trouble in the long run.“We don’t often get to ask a large company with Chadsworth’s reputation to lend us ahand, but when we ask, they responded with good solid advice”, says Editor, AmberJones, “and we really appreciated their comments—it’s what makes Do! Magazine work.”

Mr. Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principle Designer of Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS located at 277 N. Front Street in Historic Wilmington, NC was a recent guest on House & Garden Television’s popular show, Curb Appeal.  Curb Appeal, which is filmed in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco, shows you how to make the most of your home’s appearance.

 

Each episode features a real house and homeowner with guest experts who discuss the owner’s needs and propose projects to improve the home’s appearance. In this episode, Davis helps create a portico where there was none to give the home a more welcoming look. “We are always happy to be a guest on Curb Appeal”, says Davis, “with so many people building and remodeling, it’s good to be able to show how columns can enhance the look of their home”.  Curb Appeal airs on HGTV on Tuesday evening at 8 pm, and is re-played many times over the season so that viewers may take advantage of the helpful guidance the show provides.

 

The Charlotte Observer Focuses on Chadsworth Columns as “Pillars of Southern Charm”

Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS, and Jeffrey L. Davis, the Founder and Principal Designer of the company, were featured in an article, “Pillars of Southern Charm” in the Charlotte Observer’s Home Section on Saturday, May 14, 2005. This edition of the Home Section clearly highlighted the use of columns in home building today. The article stated that, “Both builders and home buyers have been swept up by the nostalgia for a long ago small town life and the architectural detail that goes with it.”
Builders have learned that columns sell houses. Today, during an unprecedented burst of building in the South, columns are going up everywhere. Experts say that most of us do not see individual columns, but react to them as important elements in the overall scene or streetscape. Simply put, columns make us feel good.  “Columns serve to remind us of a more civil time, they bring back Southern charm and gentility,” says Davis, “a time when families spent time together and enjoyed life.”
New construction has followed the national trend of New Urbanism, in which builders recreate an old-fashioned streetscape, complete with double-stacked porches and town squares, on tracts of suburban land. Traditional houses that feature deep porches and tall windows like those in Charleston or Savannah make you feel like you are living with a bit of history.
The Observer’s Home Section provided information for the reader regarding the correct components that make up a column, as well as shared with them how columns can be used in houses today. Readers were referred to the Chadsworth’s web site for further information, www.columns.com

ADDING CHARACTER with Architectural Details, A New Book from Better Homes & Gardens (Meredith Press) is a book you should pick up if you are interested in what architectural elements can do for your home. Whatever the size, shape, or color of your home, it must have character. And this book tells you how to get it!
A house with character is unique, reflecting its surroundings, history, and the personality of those who live there. Character can be incorporated into any house of any age; it just requires careful attention to detail. Elements that add character imbue a house with a sense of permanence, quality and comfort.
Beautiful moldings, wainscoting and graceful columns are elements that make a house a more inviting and satisfying place. Such details are simple to add, and with high quality craftsmanship and materials, you can give any home grace, presence and style.
“We wanted to stress the Classical Orders in our book,” says editor Paula Marshall, which is why I contacted Chadsworth’s 1.800.COLUMNS. Their columns are known for their quality, craftsmanship and design, and they have set the standard in the industry today.”
 
ADDING CHARACTER with Architectural Details gives the reader wonderful ideas and great examples of each architectural element, and takes you step-by-step through the process of deciding what to add to your home to give it character.
