Rest and be thankful.–WiLLiAM WORDSWORTH ’’‘‘ Taking a few moments to stop moving and appreciate what we have is easier said than done as we approach the bustling holiday season. Yet as we prepare to gather with family and friends, is there anything more important for us to do?

So much has happened this year in our hometown. Crazy weather caused the loss of scores of beautiful, old trees and power outages for many of us, and being smack in the middle of a swing state during a seem-ingly never-ending political season has tested our patience and taught us to check our caller ID before answering the phone. Now, it’s time to be thankful. We survived the storms—both natu-ral and political. We made new friends, recon-nected with long-lost friends, welcomed new family members and met some amazing people along the way.

We’d like to introduce you to two of these incredible individuals, Matt and Ray Lees. These men were already parents of three adopted chil-dren when they learned of five siblings in foster care who were about to be separated. They stepped up and immediately their family of five grew to become a family of 10. Check out how their Worthington home was remodeled to suit their expanded needs.

And, since it ‘tis the season, we’ve got a few holiday recipes and decorating ideas that you can use to celebrate the gathering of your own group of family and friends. Don’t worry, they’re nothing tricky. After all, we want to make sure you have time to sit and rest and enjoy this issue of Housetrends.

Wishing you warm and peaceful holidays,

Pam Patter, Sam Wilder and the Housetrends staff

It’s almost uncanny—when one appliance in the kitchen dies, its neighbors soon follow suit. Is it just a coincidence or is there some internal clock these devices share that tells them it’s time to move on? Regardless of the reason, this evacuation often leaves homeowners scratching their heads while they survey the space and ponder the possibilities of a facelift or a complete makeover. ● Recently Marilyn and John Miller, who live in a Muirfield traditional home they built 16 years ago, found them-selves in a similar situation. As far as looks go, the kitchen still worked for the couple. “It had a very European look that I liked,” Marilyn says, “But at the time every one of my appliances needed to be replaced. We were just limping along.” ● While the appli-ances were the motivation, the Millers knew that they wanted to update the kitchen layout to accommodate their changing needs. The couple, who recently became empty nesters, had ideas on how they wanted to change the space to work when they were alone and when they entertained. ● First was a desire to include the dining room as part of the kitchen. “We used it three times a year and otherwise it was just a pass through,” says Marilyn. ● Second was the wish to move the cooktop from the island to a wall position. ● “It can be distracting cooking with people sitting around the island watching,” Marilyn says.

ABOVE: The room gets an abundance of sunlight which unevenly bleached the origi-nal cherry cabinetry. Now plantation shutters do a great job with light filtration. OPPOSITE PAGE: The microwave drawer has its perfect place in the island. An old miner’s cart in the dining room is used to hold wines during parties.



The starting line-upOnce the Millers had an idea of the direc-tion they wanted to take, they contacted Dave Fox Design/Build Remodelers who had worked with friends of theirs several years earlier. Kitchen designers Courtney Burnett and Gary Demos met with the Millers and listened to the couple’s vision. They quickly agreed with their logic. “There really was no way to open the kitchen to the family room that made sense,” Burnett says.

While the dining room and cooktop change were givens from the start, the rest of the kitchen planning took a bit longer than what Burnett thinks of as typical.

“We kept drawing and redrawing,” Burnett says. “We wanted to make sure each detail was the way Marilyn wanted it. She has a very keen eye for design and color. She could have a second job in the design field.”

One idea that came early in the process was replacing the standard eating area with a casual sitting space. With the din-ing area now being so accessible, the kitch-en table was no longer necessary. Another idea that was discarded was wall cabinets that ran along the outside wall.

“This is a trend I’ve seen in the last year or two,” Burnett says. “People are going with fewer wall cabinets and they are cre-ating cozy sitting areas in kitchens.”

Demolition beginsConstruction began in March of 2011 and ran through June. During that time, meals were prepared in the basement with an electric fry pan and a crockpot. At one point in the process the construction team replaced the carpeting in the dining room with new hardwood to match the kitchen floor. For that time period, the homeowners—and their dog—had to go outside when travelling from the second floor to the lower level. But attitudes remained upbeat.

“It really wasn’t that bad,” Marilyn says.

Demos and his team were heavily involved in the construction side of the project, working through the logic of the structural change that would allow them to expand an average doorway into a 14-foot-wide opening that runs the entire width of the dining room.

A considerable amount of thinking and ingenuity went into the planning of this repurposed space. For starters, Marilyn decided not to hang a chandelier in the middle of the space so that she could turn the table that seats 12 in either direction depending on the occasion. Two moss-green upholstered chairs sit near the opening off the kitchen as occasional chairs, but can be pulled up to the end of the table to act as hostess chairs.

The flat screen television is tucked into this room, but is easily viewed from

wing chairs in the new sitting area in the kitchen.

A subtle shuffleWhile the footprint of the kitchen stayed the same, space allotments were changed. The working kitchen area was extended three feet into what used to be the eating area. The old island that housed the cook-top lacked seating space. By moving the cooktop to the outside wall and expand-ing the island, there’s plenty of space for friends to gather.

A convenient microwave drawer is tucked beneath the island. That was another issue for Marilyn who says, “I don’t like to see big microwaves.”

Across from the island, are two Fisher and Paykel dishwasher drawers. “Courtney showed me how I can fill the top one with

ice and use to keep drinks cold during the party,” says Marilyn. “I love that. Then we just run the dishwasher after the party and the ice is gone.”

Entertaining touchesIn an incredibly clever reconfiguration of space, an old pantry space which was tucked beneath the front foyer stairs was transformed into a wet bar.

Reclaimed wood left over from another Dave Fox project was used for the bar’s cabinetry. The countertop is concrete which Burnett says was poured to look raw. Doors flip open and a shelf that holds liquor pulls out.

“We were mid-design when we came up with that idea,” Burnett says. “We made awkward space usable.”

kitchen trends Repurposed with a punchWhen replacing the kitchen table with a sitting area, Marilyn wanted unique chairs, “some-thing big that made a statement.” She found what she was looking for at The Collection in Powell—chairs that were covered with vintage seed sacks from a mill in England. These set the tone for the style of the room. “I wanted a reclaimed look,” explains Marilyn.

All of these pieces—island, wet bar, dining room table and an assortment of chairs give the space a tremendous amount of versatility.

The homeowner likes that she can have several people in the space and not have them clustered three deep around the island.

The inconveniences suffered through during the construction phase are a distant blur. “For the final result I would do it again in a heartbeat,” Marilyn says. “I’m telling you—it’s everything I wanted and more!”

The cottage wasn’t their first home in German Village, a neighborhood better known for its

Italianate and Victorian abodes. It was Ron and Barb Hagan’s second home in the village after

downsizing from a traditional four-bedroom suburban residence that had been home as they

raised their two daughters. Their first try at a cottage home in the historic neighborhood was too

small; at 1,500 square feet they eventually decided it just wasn’t working. This house, the second

cottage they bought in the neighborhood and a bit larger, was just right. F “We had always been

attracted to the cottages,” explain the homeowners. “When we became empty nesters we took

the leap of faith and moved downtown. It’s such a great neighborhood.”

Barb, a retired teacher, and Ron a tax CPA, have been married for 42 years. They like to entertain family and friends and they liked the cozy feel of a cottage home. But those two ideas aren’t always compatible. So after much thought, a whole house remodel was planned for the one-and-a-half story Cape Cod-style with a single-story back addition.

Village renovating restrictions only applied to external changes; anything inside was fair game as long as the foot-print remained the same. According to Todd Schmidt of Renovations Unlimited the remodel had to fix structural differ-ences between the kitchen and porch, and also had to keep the 1/12 pitch cathe-dral ceiling of the original porch. Along with architect Gary Alexander, Schmidt said working with the historic designa-tion was just one extra planning step to go through. “We tried to keep all design changes appropriate with the original age of the home,” he says.

Two major areas became the focus of the renovations—the kitchen/family room and the master suite.

The heart of the homeThe enclosed back porch had served as their breakfast/family room and had the original concrete tile floors, drafty win-dows, and a floor two inches lower than

the kitchen that frequently created a trip-ping hazard. Now the kitchen is at the same floor level as the family room and is warm and inviting. Todd moved door-ways to new locations to help with traffic flow through the space. Custom cherry cabinets, interior trim and doors made to match previous furnishings complement Barb’s much-desired furniture-style island with seating.

Schmidt’s team tucked up outlets and switches underneath wall cabinets to keep the tile one continuous design and clutter-

free. He’s a proponent of using green products where possible, and this home included LED can lighting. “The kitchen is now bright and sunny during the day and features beautiful combinations of soft recessed lighting at night,” Ron says.

“The available footage in the kitchen was tight,” Schmidt explains. “I would have liked to have had an additional two feet to create more walking space around the island but there wasn’t any more room. So we added a wall of windows to get the feeling of space. We visually expanded the kitchen, and it worked.”

Interior designer Tracie McGarity helped Barb tie everything together. “The whole team had a good synergy,” Schmidt says.

Ron and Barb are amazed at the trans-formation. “The size of the room is the same but just by using his design skills, Todd has left the same footprint but it feels completely different. The renovat-ed kitchen and adjoining entertainment space is warm and welcoming and com-fortable for family and friends to enjoy.”

This holiday will be a great test of the kitchen’s new functionality. Barb, the main cook, is busy with plans.

Throughout the house, the red heart

pinewood floors were restored and refin-ished; in the new family room, white oak floors were added to complement.

Halfway through, the Hagans added another project: removing the staircase wall from the dining room upstairs to the master suite. They also had the dining room and living room repainted. The prior family room now serves dual functions as a study and guest suite with a private bath area when needed for overnight guests.

They also added a rear courtyard with porch, brick patio and hot tub. Now Barb finally has her beloved porch swing to add to her over 100-year-old heirloom wicker furniture.

Bath renovation completes master suiteUsing the angled ceiling of a Cape Cod for design esthetic, the new spacious master bath is a charming mix of angles every-where you look.

It includes a laundry center, heated floors, a new cast iron free-standing tub, custom cabinetry, additional lighting and more. “In the shower, we included French doors instead of the typical single door opening,” Schmidt explains. “It added a wider opening for universal design plan-ning and also is more esthetically appeal-ing.”

The shower tile work is a mastery of four finishes, with three different tiles and all colors blended together to create a cohesive, modern look. According to Barb, luxurious is the only way to describe the master bath.

The renovation was so successful, the Hagans were proud to point out the home was one of 16 featured on this fall’s NARI Home Improvement Showcase sponsored by the National Association of Remodelers Inc. It won Best of Show and Best Outdoor Living Space.

Barb and Ron agree the results were worth camping out in the basement for ten months of phased renovation. “We feel the space is a successful mix of the old and the new. It’s a look that allows our antiques and family heirlooms to be show-cased in an updated and modern space.”

Now they are the proud owners of an elegant, but relaxing and comfortable place to call home—hidden behind the unassuming front door.

Ray and Matt Lees loved the home they’d bought together in their quiet Worthington neighborhood. The traditional

two-story, four-bedroom home was more than enough room for them and their two adopted children when they

purchased it in 2007. It was even large enough when they added a third child in 2009. But, when the couple made the

unplanned decision to add a sibling group of five children to their family in 2011, comfortable living space was quickly in

short supply.

“We needed closets, a pantry and a new basement storage room just to hold the volume of clothes and toys that came with eight kids,” Ray says.

Bedroom space was confined with four boys sharing one room and their infant son in a crib in their room. The two youngest girls shared a room, and their oldest daughter, older than the others by four years, had her own room. There was a small family room that quickly filled with coats and shoes because of the lack of storage.

“The sheer space required to store 10 pairs of shoes and 10 winter coats to use every day did not exist in our home,” Matt says. “We had to put tiered shoe racks and a clothing bar in our living room. This made the house and our lives feel very disorganized.”

The Lees family had no choice but to add onto the home. After meeting with an architect, blueprints were drawn which included another bedroom and bathroom, extending the home and the base-ment beneath to create a family room, a mudroom that would serve as a landing spot for coats and backpacks and a stand-alone pantry.

Growing concernsSearching for the right remodeler required several considerations. The home needed space that was livable and functional; the addition had to stay within the architectural requirements of the neighbor-hood, and the family of 10 had to be able to live in the home during the renovation. Safety for the eight children, who are all under the age of 12, was also a top priority.

“When we interviewed remodelers, one of the questions was ‘how are you going to interact with our kids?’” Ray says. “Having someone who was dedicated to making sure our children were safe was very important to us.”

OVERLEAF: Cubbies go a long way in keeping shoes, coats, and school supplies organized in the mudroom. CLOCKWISE FROM ABOVE: Matt (left) and Ray (right) with front row: Kalis, Keyona, Josiah, Kalashia; Middle row: Jenny, Keuwan, Aaron, Kanyae; The addition of this family room gives the Lees a great space where they can gather and play. Kalashia does a cartwheel in the lower level rec-room while those in charge do laundry. Matt and the kids all know their jobs when it’s time to get ready. Each of the children has their own token-reward jars in the kitchen. Tokens buy small toys, books or treats for good behavior. Josiah manages for himself in the new mudroom/pantry area.


The family found Peter Robinson MCR, CKBR of Peter A. Robinson Remodeling LLC, who was working for friends in the neighborhood. Robinson says safety for his crew and the children was always their focus. He recalls tremendous anxiety as they dug deep holes in the ground for the home extension and tore out walls that were built under different standards in the 1970s.

“It scared me to death at first,” Robinson says. “We had to go in and completely seal everything. We were dealing with children where lead and dust could be very danger-ous if it got exposed.”

Close quartersAlmost as detailed as the design plans, were the logistics and ground rules for the construction crew and the family to coex-ist for four months.

“For several weeks, we had no family room and only three bedrooms. We got through this by frequently walking to the other side of the plastic wall that separated our living space from the space being built to remind us of how much more room we were about to get,” Matt says.

While construction seemed like an eter-nity for the Lees family, it was a marathon project for the remodeler. Besides the large addition, the home required a new furnace and water heater to accommodate more square footage. Every additional need for the home added time to the project, which lengthened the time the Lees family lived in an uncomfortable and cramped environment.

The unveilingWith the plastic walls from construction finally lifted, it was time to put the space to use. From the street, the addition was almost undetectable because the home fits comfortably within the architecture of the neighborhood. Inside the home, there was quite a bit of change.

With the extra elbow room, the Lees family has found they are more organized and efficient. In the upstairs living area, the additional bedroom and bathroom

provide plenty of personal space for each child and comfortable sleeping arrange-ments. The extended basement has added play space and ample storage for toys and spare clothing. And, the large new pantry allows the family to stock up on food items and plan weeks ahead for meals.

Perks of the jobDuring the final walk-through, Ray and Matt discovered a few pleasant surprises that were not in the design plans.

The basic mudroom they expected actu-ally turned out to be a locker room that could rival a sports team.

“I said, ‘We’re not building you a mud room, we’re building you a locker room,’” Robinson says. “I had all of the kids’ names engraved on plaques.”

Each child has their own storage space in the organized cubbies for coats, shoes and lunchboxes. The tiered shoe racks and clothing rods in the living room are gone.

The other remodeling surprise sits in the new family room where Ray and Matt now spend quality time with their chil-dren. Above the fireplace is a personal and permanent gift from Robinson who says his entire crew was humbled by their expe-

rience in the Lees home. The mantle is a 200-year old barn beam from Robinson’s own home remodeling project.

Thanks to those kinds of touches and more room to maneuver, the home is beyond what the family ever expected.

“The new space helps the children feel settled. Things have a place now,” Matt says. “The kids have their own beds, dress-ers and clothes closets. Things feel more permanent, which is a feeling of security for our adopted kids.”

Ray and Matt say they already loved their home, but now they have room to love it even more.

Televisions may be shrinking, but they still

pose a decorating challenge. Even a flat

screen hung from the wall has the potential

of looking like a giant, black box of nothing-

ness. F Luckily, as televisions evolve so do

the components and furnishings used to

hide them. Here’s a look at different ways

to camouflage your TV.

Creative places to hide the TV in every room

The bedroomTraditional armoires are a nice option for placing a standard size television, but as screens are growing wider it is becoming harder to find furniture pieces large enough to house these units. Plus, the TV takes up much needed storage space for other bedroom items like linens and clothing.

Another option is a custom-built bed with a projection screen housed in the footboard. Nathan Chamberlin, owner of Extreme

Audio and Video in Cincinnati had the bed featured here custom made to support the electronic components of the unit. “As soon as you press the ‘On’ button on the remote, the screen lifts up and the TV comes on,” Chamberlin says of the ease of use. The screen slides back down into the footboard when not in use, and it is practically unrecognizable.

The living roomThe sky’s the limit when looking for ways to hide a television in the living room. “We can drop a flat screen out of the ceiling,” Chamberlin explains. “We can also hide one behind a motorized piece of art.”

Another great way to disguise a television is hidden behind the mantel. The rustic Indianapolis retreat below is a prime example of blending decor. The wooden mantel is extended into the stone fireplace, and the television is hidden behind folding panels.

Whether you are looking for a nice piece of furniture that blends with your decor, or a completely undetectable painting that shifts to expose your TV, make sure your choice blends nicely with the other furnishings in your home.

Art is used as a creative solution to elegantly conceal television electronics with VisionArt’s TRIO. This customizable system uses a fine art, museum-quality print on a motorized canvas to hide away the entertainment hardware.

The bathroomSpace is usually premium in the bathroom. Even in a large master bath, countertops are hot commodities. While a flat screen televi-sion could be mounted from the wall, you don’t want to run the risk of water or moisture creeping in.

The best place to hide a television in the bathroom is behind the mirror. Seura is one of the leaders in blending technology and

style in their designs. Their enhanced color correcting technology allows an LCD picture to appear through a mirror when the set is on, while flawlessly concealing the screen behind a bright reflec-tion when off.

Some folks are true blue when it comes to their

favorite color. Myriad polls have shown that blue is an

overwhelming favorite. What makes it so? Lighter blues

prompt thoughts of tranquility, understanding, peace,

health and heaven. Darker blues beget visions of knowl-

edge, opportunity, integrity and loyalty. The right mind-

expanding hue engenders creativity and exploration.

One look at an impossibly crystal blue sky on a

clear autumn day makes life worth living,

banishing–ironically–the “blues.” From pale aqua

to the deepest indigo, there’s sure to be a hue

that elevates your home into a blue heaven.
