Owner Thomas Faber, a lifelong resident of Midland Park, has been in the flooring business for over 20 years now, and if there is one thing that hasn’t changed is his dedication to bringing his clients the best service possible. About two years ago, Tom decided to focus 100 percent on his mobile shop-at-home service. “I think we have all experienced it,” says Tom. “You go out to look at different samples in a showroom, and by the time you bring them home, they look completely different. I have found that my clients would rather shop from the comfort of their own homes or offices, in the lighting and the atmosphere of the room(s) they are decorating. Not only is this convenient for my clients, but it Thomas Faber also allows me to do what I enjoy the most, which is helping out with the different shades and colors of flooring and being there to answer any questions that might come up. There is really nothing like the shopat-home experience”. Barefoot Carpet & Flooring carries a wide variety of flooring, which includes carpet, vinyl, laminate, luxury vinyl tile and hardwood.

W LAN project spotlight: Residential design in Newport, Vermont hile meeting a client’s expectations is second-nature to architects, the task may be especially daunting when the clients are one’s own parents. LAN Associates Engineering, Planning, Architecture, Surveying, Inc. (LAN) architect Matthew Milnamow, AIA, LEED® AP BD+C rose to the challenge when his parents sought his professional advice for the design of their retirement home on a 10acre site overlooking Lake Memphremagoue in Newport, Vermont. Design and construction were implemented using a phased master plan approach that extended over five years. In 2006, Phase One started with the construction of a twocar garage and second floor living space. The recent completion of Phase Two has added 3,800 sq. ft. to become the owners’ primary living space. The built project fused traditional materials, splashes of luxury and familiar design elements to form a sensible aesthetic that functions as well as it looks. Energy efficiency, salvaged building materials and life cycle costing were integral to the long-term affordability of the project. In fact, the Phase One guest cottage meets the stringent guidelines regulated by Efficiency Vermont to become a “Vermont Energy Star Home”. Including property acquisition, the 5,600 sq. ft., four-bedroom home was surprisingly affordable at $125/sf. This residence has already been featured on the 2012 cover of Harvey’s Building Product Catalog and will be published in the next annual Vermont Magazine.
