a letter from the publisherwelcome

Excuse me while I sound like your Aunt Betsy when I say, “My, my Columbus! You’ve gotten so big and filled out so nicely.” The last time I lived in Columbus was in the early 80s while I was working as a disc jockey at WMNI AM in the Great Southern Hotel (before the renovation). What a treat the last two months have been as I discover what twenty years and people with vision can do for a city.

Since we bootstrapped the magazine here five years ago, Columbus has been interested in what we have to say with every issue of Housetrends. My new position as publisher in Columbus has helped me to understand why Housetrends has been so widely accepted in this city. We like to think of what we do as artistic and we feel you appreciate the magazine for the work that we present.

Every great home and garden project takes vision, design and craftsman-ship to be successful. If any of those pieces are missing, it shows up in the completed project. The artists—the designers, architects and craftsmen, must all respect one another to gain the glory of a great project. It is our job at Housetrends to capture those projects through photography, writing and graphic presentation.

This makeover issue offers some grand renovations. We’re bringing you three kitchen remodels that encompass all shapes and sizes. And it wouldn’t be the makeover issue without details on the NARI Home Improvement Showcase. In addition to all the reno-vation projects packed into this issue, you’ll also find a perfectly decorated German Village gem. Enjoy!

Sincerely,

Sam Wilder and the rest of the Housetrends staff

21st Century HausHistoric German Village home includes wunderbar updates

By Melanie Circle Brown | Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

Karly and Judd Depew looked at 40 homes in German Village before

finding the one to call home. The charming brick 2,300-square-foot

home was built in the 1850s and added onto in the 20th century.

“When we found this house the natural light sold us,” says Karly.

Bold blitz A graphic designer by profession, Karly tapped her artistic skills to create an interior design for the home that is calming yet makes a statement. Dark walnut random-width planks give the floor a rustic, textured feel which is balanced by the crispness of the white painted woodwork.

The living and dining rooms are in the 1850s section of the home and are sepa-rated only by a fireplace. Exposed beams run at regular intervals along the ceilings. The rooms enjoy abundant natural light thanks to the skylights installed by a previ-ous owner. Karly added curtains on either side of the fireplace which can be closed to define the spaces.

A pear graphic catches the eye against navy blue walls in the dining room. Karly created the piece of artwork herself by simply stretching a tablecloth over canvas.

The master bedroom’s peaceful ambience is created by combining yellow walls with the dark brown walnut floor and simple bed linens. Bold stripes in the same yellow are painted in the master bath adding a playful twist—a perfect example of Karly’s style which she calls, “organic, yet bold and modern.”

GartenviewThe move-in ready condition of the home was a great selling point for the couple, but the one drawback was the kitchen. Though it had been updated, the style was not to their taste and after living with it awhile they realized the layout wasn’t working for them either. “The space was great but laid out badly,” Karly explains.

The Depews enlisted the professional help of Dave Fox Design/Build/Remodelers who determined that the existing 225 square feet was an ample footprint for the new kitchen. Wendy Sorenson, the com-pany’s design consultant, worked with the Depews to give them the features and the finishes they wanted.

The first step was to improve the kitch-en’s layout. The sink was relocated to an island peninsula: now when you work at the sink, you look out onto the courtyard. “It was important to bring the outside in,” says Sorenson.

Next, Sorenson and Karly selected mate-rials which evoke an organic yet urban feel, including Brazilian multi-color slate for the floor and the side of the penin-sula. Dark grey Silestone quartz covers the countertop, while white ceramic subway tiles were selected for the backsplash. Full height, off-white painted cabinets with recess-paneled doors were also added. The appliances and sink are stainless steel and the faucet is polished chrome. “The kitchen is precisely what we wanted but not so over-the-top that it would affect resale,” says Karly.

Auld and modernAsk anyone who has lived through a remodeling project and they will tell you that unexpected things happen. The unex-pected in this case was the home’s founda-tion. There were two types of foundation: stone under the 1850s section and new block under an addition.

“When we pulled up the kitchen floor, which is in the ‘new’ part of the house, we discovered the floor joists were not level with the original structure; in fact they were off by a quarter inch,” says Bryce Jacob, vice president of Dave Fox Design/Build/Remodelers, adding that this is not uncommon. “The old stone foundations from the 1850s can be much more solid than some of the foundations built in recent decades—particularly those done before permits were strictly enforced,” Jacob says. “The materials they used in the 1800s—heavy timbers, brick, stone—are all good, sturdy stuff and make for sound construction,” he adds. The Dave Fox team solved the problem by planing the newer joists to match the old.

A structural beam in the kitchen presented a design challenge. The beam was 6 inches from the ceiling and took up valuable wall space. “Visually, the beam cut up the room,” says Sorenson. The Dave Fox team solved this issue by cutting into the back of the cabinets and “hiding” the beam inside them. “It was a really creative way to conceal the beam and also cover ductwork. You don’t even know they run through the kitchen,” says Jacob.

Improved lighting in the dining and living rooms as well as in Karly’s home office was added—a job easier said than done. The wires needed to be fished a great distance, from the vaulted ceiling down to an upgraded lighting panel in the base-ment.

“When it was finished I asked our electrician, ‘How in the world did you ever do that?’” Jacob advises all homeowners to use a professional electrician when working on lighting. “Leave electrical work to the professionals,” he says. “You can survive a do-it-yourself plumbing error, but the safety risk is too great with electricity.”

Happily ever afterThe home is now a perfect reflection of Karly and Judd’s style. The colorful mix of modern design and historical architecture pair seamlessly, making the home a com-fortable place to live, eat and work.

026-027 tUBLD Tudor-HouseOfBards.indd 26 9/20/10 10:03:11 AM


By Nina KiefferBorrowing from the grandest of aristocratic manor houses to the humblest of fairy tale cottages, the Tudor style is a collection of architectural attributes dating back to late medieval England and William Shakespeare himself.

Although Tudor Revival homes were built in America as early as the late 19th century, it wasn’t until the 1920s that advances in masonry veneering led to a Tudor building boom. Stone and brick veneers made constructing the Tudor-style home much more affordable. After the 1930s, the Tudor fell from favor, but enjoyed a resurgence in popularity during the 70s and 80s. Even today, the vener-able style is adapted for newly constructed homes in what the book A Field Guide to American Houses describes as “Neoeclectic” Tudor, which emphasizes period design without attempting historical accuracy. Pre-World War II Tudor Revival homes are often the focus of loving restorations.

After the medieval church-building frenzy in Europe (started in the 1100s), the English began, in the 1500s, to develop a secular style of architecture that was more intimate than the soaring, awe-inspiring religious tributes developed by the French. The “French Style” was later dubbed by classicists as “Gothic,” because of its barbaric lack of classical (Greek and Roman) references. (It was a derogatory allusion to the Germanic Goths who overran much of Europe during the Dark Ages.) Tudor architecture scaled down the gothic ambitions and concentrated on the details of windows, doors and chimneys. (With the advent of coal heat, chimneys replaced the holes in ceilings that vented wood fires.) Exposed structural wood frames were used to create the skeletons and were filled in between with stone, brick or plaster—a technique known as “half-timbering.” Brick, until then an out-of-reach luxury item, became more available and was used in decorative patterns such as herringbone. Plaster, much cheaper than brick, was the most common fill-in, its use resulting in the quintessential Tudor house comprised of white washed plaster and blackened oak beams.

Touchesof Tudor

Signature attributes of American Tudor Revival and Neoeclectic Tudor homes include:♦ Steeply pitched roof

with side gable♦ Façade of prominent cross

gable with steep pitch♦ Decorative half-timbering ♦ Patterned stonework

and/or brickwork♦ Use of multiple wall cladding

materials ♦ Tall narrow windows in

multiple groupings with multiple panes (frequently diamond shaped, often casement)

♦ Semi-hexagonal bay windows of one or more stories

♦ Oriel windows (multi-sided windows cantilevered out of walls)

♦ Massive chimneys with decorative chimney pots

♦ Wall cladding: Most common are stucco, brick and stone (and veneer versions); Most unusual is wood

♦ Faux thatch roofing (to achieve the cottage look)

♦ Round arched doorways♦ Tudor arches (flattened

points)♦ Gable dormers♦ Overlapping gables,

overhanging gables

Idaho, an Upper Arlington homeowner called upon a

residential remodeling expert to create a kitchen that

would blend familiar, casual elements with contempo-

Creating more space“My kitchen truly is the heart of our home, where everyone seems to gravi-tate,” she says. “We needed more room—including a mudroom and island where our children and their friends can gather, and I wanted a space that would reflect my rustic, western taste, but also fit in with the traditional style of our home and neighborhood,” she explained.

Jeff Brown, principal, J.S. Brown & Company, explains that, because the “south of Lane” Arlington Avenue home is one of a cluster of homes on smaller lots surrounding Miller Park, he was chal-lenged to create maximum space from a minimal addition.

“It was obvious that to create a kitchen with the rich character she was looking for, we had to get creative to squeeze a lot of function into an only 200-foot addition and make it fit seamlessly onto a pie-shaped lot,” Brown recalls.

He began his design by reorienting the kitchen 90 degrees and bumping out the entire back of the home about five feet, creating space for a customized banquet-style breakfast nook, as well as the much-needed mudroom and asked-for island.

“We also found extra room by removing a chimney that provided ventilation for an older hot water heater, which we replaced with a high-energy unit that does not require a flue,” he notes. Now, the fam-ily’s three children each have their own custom-made locker, complete with hooks for coats and backpacks, as well as boot nooks for footwear.

The homeowner is thrilled that the sometimes-messy mudroom view can be hidden from visitors by a hand-fashioned barn door that not only easily slides over the entryway, but also serves as one-of-a-kind focal point, adding to the warmth of the room.

“When Jeff suggested the idea of the barn door—which he had specially built for our home from hand-milled, reclaimed oak, I was so excited, because that is exactly the ambiance I wanted to create,” she says.

The barn door is made from reclaimed oak and slides closed to hide the mudroom. OVERLEAF: The dining room displays the rustic and contemporary combination the homeowner loves. OPPOSITE TOP: With a busy family, the kitchen island is a great place for kids to eat or do homework. OPPOSITE BOTTOM LEFT: The barn door and chalkboard paint are eclectic touches that bring the kitchen together. OPPOSITE BOTTOM RIGHT: The four-inch slab of granite over the kitchen island is certainly an eye-catching piece.

Contemporary convenienceJ.S. Brown’s Monica Miller, who is certified in kitchen and bath design, and interior designer Stefanie Sokach, relished the challenge of combining modern conveniences with country comfort.

“Although the homeowner did not want vast, shiny surfaces that she felt might detract from the casual look of her kitchen, she did want top-of-the-line appliances and counter-tops to fit her busy family-oriented lifestyle,” explains Sokach.

Surrounded by suede finish granite countertops and stainless Thermador appliances, the centerpiece of the renovated kitchen is the beautiful and distinctive island. Dramatic knotted alder matches the children’s lockers, but is topped with a four-inch slab of gran-ite that appears to be marble and suggests the depth of butcher block.

“It seems like I’m constantly feeding someone and the island allows my kids to be in the kitchen with me, but not underfoot,” the homeowner comments. “When they have friends over, it’s amazing how many can fit around the banquet—I love having a full house,” she adds.

Warm welcomeAs projects often do, this one also expanded beyond its original scope. The homeowner’s husband, a busy physician, maintained a hands-off stance throughout the transforma-tion, but readily agreed that a hallway adjacent to the kitchen should be opened to become part of the new space.

“Once we completed the hall and half-bath, we decided now was the time to move forward with a planned renovation to our tired porch and entryway,” she chuckles. “Jeff and his staff did a fabulous job by creating a covered porch, with new steps, the door and a whole new look that adds character and is in keeping with the nature of our neighbor-hood,” she says.

Inside the kitchen of one Indian Hill home, a fire crackled in a handsome stone fireplace, emanating hospitality and cheer. A long sturdy table stood in front, big enough for the family of six. The walls, painted a warm, creamy shade of olive, were lined in fine antiqued maple and cherry cabinetry, while appliances and countertops sparkled in granite and steel. A mixture of refined elegance and rustic informality.

“I had more of a country French look in mind,” explains Victoria Slattery, a busy mother of four, ages eight to thirteen. “I wanted it to have an older feel—cozy. I wanted it to be very cozy.”

It was as cozy as a farmhouse in the French countryside, yet not at all closed in. Spacious and flowing, charming and comfortable, the heart of this family’s home was a far cry from its cramped and faded former self.

one kitchen’s revolutionary changeBy Pamela McWhorter | Photos by Robin Victor Goetz, RVGP Inc.

Too close for comfortWhen Kevin and Victoria Slattery bought the house eight years ago, not much had changed since it had been built in the late ‘60s. The home was large, but the original first-floor layout didn’t allow for much breathing room, especially in the kitchen.

“In the old kitchen, just unloading the dishwasher use to be a night-mare,” Victoria recalls. “You had to constantly close the door to get around and put things away. Then add having kids on top of you.”

A long skinny hallway leading off from the kitchen to the garage didn’t help matters. The couple considered making a change, but the costs outweighed the benefits.

But the traffic congestion only grew worse as the children got older. “When all four of them got into school, there were four bulky back-packs to get out the door and four sets of shoes to put on all at the same time,” says Victoria. “They were climbing over one another.”

Victoria’s Pièce de Résistance:Chocolate Crinkle CookiesA Slattery family favorite.

½ cup Crisco® oil

4 squares (melted) or packets

unsweetened chocolate

2 cups sugar

4 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups sifted flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup confectioner’s sugar

Mix oil, chocolate and sugar. Blend in one egg at a time until well mixed. Add vanilla. Stir in salt, flour and baking powder. Chill several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350°. Drop tablespoons of dough into confectioner’s sugar and shape into a ball. Place about 2 inches apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes.


OPPOSITE: Custom, built-ins create ample storage space and provide unique window lighting on each side of the fireplace.

Out with the oldOnce again the Slatterys sat down with an architect, seeking practicality on “all fronts.” They wanted a layout that would open up the traffic flow, so the busy family could function more smoothly and get through the day without the constant rounds of bumper cars. The renovation called for radical change: opening up the kitchen to encompass the old family room, bringing the basement laundry room upstairs, turn-ing an outside patio area into the new family room, adding an extra bedroom above the new family room, and finally widening the long skinny hallway to the garage that caused so many morning traffic jams.

However, the plans—just like a houseful of young school-age children—were in constant motion. Walls and rooms, closets and appliances moved as the Slatterys proceeded in the renovation process. The architect, contractor, kitchen designer and the Slatterys themselves all contributed ideas while the old rooms were torn down and the new ones went up. Throughout the project, refinements and retooling, both large and small, would continue up until the last minute.

“The one thing I would say to people,” advises Kevin, now speaking from experience, “is no matter when you want to start the project, leave enough time for design ideas to kind of percolate, because it’s difficult to look at a piece of paper and know. It all looks good on paper.”

Cream cabinetry and stainless steel appliances create a comfortable contrast of colors and textures in the open kitchen.

ABOVE: The old microwave and oven were jammed up beside the previous island. OPPOSITE TOP: A beverage center—complete

with a wine refrigerator and coffee station—acts as a merging piece of furniture between the kitchen and dining area.



Two are better than oneOne of the biggest change in plans came from kitchen designer Kim Schmidt of Whisenhunt Cabinetry in Richmond, Indiana.

“When I came into it, they wanted to get a functional kitchen, but the aesthetics had to be pleasing, too,” says Schmidt. At the time, the layout called for a large central island. Schmidt sug-gested breaking up the large island into two—one devoted to prep work and the other with a seating area. That seemingly simple alteration made a huge difference in traffic flow. With two islands instead of one, people could easily move across the kitchen without circling a central island to get to the other side. Both islands were designed and built to look like furniture with rich cherry finishes, and feet were even added to the prep island to complete the look.

“One thing I like about this island,” says Victoria, referring to the main eat-in island, “is that all four can sit down and do home-work, and I can make dinner and be with them and help them. It’s just so nice to be able to help all four and still cook.”

Really too close for comfortIf life at the Slattery home had seemed a bit cramped before the renovation, it felt downright confined during the renovation.

“They sealed us in,” says Kevin, referring to the living arrange-ments set up by their contractor, Bayes & Sons. “They thought we were crazy to stay through the whole thing.”

Despite having doubts about their client’s sanity, Bayes & Sons went ahead and set up a temporary kitchen for the Slatterys in the former dining room, using the old kitchen cabinets and sink and even running a water line into the room. The former living room (today’s dining room) became the temporary family room in this renovation variation on musical chairs. As for the downstairs bath, it was closed until further notice. It was like camping out in your own house—for eight months.

“The kids were completely fine,” says Victoria of their fam-ily’s adventures in togetherness. “They did not mind sharing one bathroom for the six of us. They didn’t complain once.” Kevin and Victoria weren’t quite as stoic. “There was a lot of pain we went through,” admits Kevin. “But it’s so nice now, we don’t really think about it.”

Breathing roomIt’s been especially nice for the Slatterys during holiday gather-ings and summer entertaining as family, friends and food easily move through the kitchen area like a well-choreographed ballet.

“We’ve had a couple of family get-togethers, and at the end of it we’ll say how unbelievably practical everything flows now,” Kevin reports with satisfaction. “Living through the renovation was rough, but I guess the moral is that it is worth it in the end.”

From the time Amy and Joe moved into their 1930s Upper Arlington

home, they knew a kitchen remodel was on their to-do list. Parents of

two high-schoolers with plenty of friends, their home saw its fair share of

foot traffic. After nearly 10 years in the home, it was time to knock down

a wall, raise the ceiling and create the open space they definitely needed.

The planColumbus architects from Urbanorder Inc. worked on preliminary plans with Amy and Joe, and recommended they meet with Travis Ketron, owner of Ketron Custom Builders.

“I think we offered them a fresh per-spective on the construction aspect and they liked the open and honest work-ing relationship we brought to the table from the start,” says Ketron. According to Ketron, Amy and Joe wanted a design that fit the house, while including high end fin-ishes that made the space special.

One of the major complaints Joe and Amy had about the kitchen was the fact that previous owners had dropped the ceiling, making the room feel even smaller than it was. “The rest of our house has ceilings that are over 8 feet tall and we really thought if we could raise the ceiling, it would immediately open up the space,” says Amy.

Ketron was able to remove the kitchen ceiling before the remodel began to see what could be done. It turns out the only reason the ceiling was lowered was due to the bathroom above. Joe and Amy decided to have that bathroom remodeled as well, allowing Ketron to raise the plumbing, in turn allowing the kitchen ceiling to be raised as well.

The second issue in the kitchen was an original floor-to-ceiling chimney that needed to be removed. “The chimney was an ordeal and Joe asked me repeatedly if it was worth it to remove, but I really thought it was because of the space we would gain, which was precious space for us to add,” says Amy.

After gaining height and space in the kitchen, the next step was to open the kitchen to the formal dining room. “We opened up the two rooms, which makes for a much more inviting social atmo-sphere,” says Ketron.

Updated designWhen it came to the design concept, Ketron played a key role in providing options and details for the couple. “Everyone has an idea of what they think they want and sometimes that idea holds, and some-times it doesn’t,” says Ketron. Amy had cut pictures out of magazines as a starting place and progress moved from there. For example, Amy originally wanted marble

countertops, but after realizing the wear and tear that the kitchen would endure, Ketron suggested a durable granite.

Joe and Amy were definitely thinking outside the box when it came to flooring, as they wanted something different than the hardwoods that covered the rest of the house. They decided on a cork floor, which is softer and more comfortable than the original marble floor that was in the kitchen. “Our kids were thrilled with the cork floor because they’re very into green-living these days,” says Amy. Ketron came up with a two-toned design to dress up the space and add definition between the dining room and kitchen.

Time sensitiveToday, the updated space is perfect for the family’s busy and social lifestyle. Amy couldn’t be happier with Ketron’s atten-tion to detail and his punctuality. “We were finishing up the project in the spring and my daughter wanted to have everyone over before prom,” says Amy. “Travis fin-
