As the sun rises over the University Park region in
Raleigh, it illuminates a network of greenways and parks,
nestled beside no shortage of eclectic homes.
But one stunning, stylish house in particular perfectly melds a designer’s vision with a homeowner’s vision and the result fuels the imaginations of all who enter. Interior designer Susan Tollefsen is quick to give all the credit to homeowners Dustin
Smith and Burton Buffaloe (“I was just the sounding board and the accessorizer,” she says), but admits to weighing in a little more heavily when it came to colors. While Dustin favored vibrant greens, Susan infused the home with other colors that, alongside Dustin’s choices, add punch, such as the orange bands on the dining chairs and the cobalt-lacquered piece that occupies the breakfast room. The end result is clean contrasts of varying hues, as well as a perfect balance of old and new. The home is new construction with a contemporary vibe, but it is also infused with vintage items: reclaimed beams, old dressers transformed into vanities, and a pair of 300-year-old church gates, straight

from Louisiana, that welcomes guests into the courtyard in the back. The homeowners, who always bring a sense of humor to the design process, like to say that their home has an old soul. The couple fell in love with the area years ago, a dynamic community steeped in history and natural beauty. When the lot went up for sale in 2013, Dustin and Burton jumped on it, and while all who see the home today would disagree, Dustin says it’s a continual work in progress. Dustin finds ongoing inspiration in trips to flea markets and to High Point Furniture Market (he and Susan made many an action-packed trip while the home was being built), and in adding to the couple’s art collection. “We have such a mix and blend of styles in our home that it’s really easy to go anywhere and find a hidden treasure that we fall in love with,” he explains. And for Dustin, who has always loved design and has an artistic background, the couples’ home is a canvas

that is continually being painted. For her part, Susan described her work as “kitschy glam” and is quick to admit to a certain quirkiness, but it’s a trait that she and Dustin share; both eschew cookie-cutter design. Susan cites the family room as her favorite in the house, mainly because of the painting by local artist Shaun Richards. “The art in Dustin and Burton’s house is the jewel on the crown, for sure,” she says. The couple agrees that the outdoor courtyard is a favorite resting spot. Dustin’s brother Chad, a landscape designer, collaborated with them on the home’s outdoor spaces. The courtyard is at once urban and peaceful, with a large dining area for entertaining, and a fireplace that’s the ideal landing spot to sip bourbon. Any nice day finds the pair out there with friends, and Susan talks about how passionate Dustin and Burton are about making the home comfortable for all who enter. Just as they share the same eclectic style, so too do Susan and Dustin offer similar advice on designing or redecorating a home. “I always say, surround yourself with things you love, even if they might scare your grandmother,” says Susan. “If you love something, use it.” “I keep an open eye out for things I love,” adds Dustin. “I bring them home and go room to room until I find the perfect spot.” One caveat: “Don’t settle because an empty shelf or wall is staring at you every day,” Dustin adds. “It makes it so much more rewarding when you stumble across that perfect piece.”u

WHeN IT WAS PULLeD OFF THe market, the couple was heartbro-ken; but the Basarwala’s Realtor was able to make the owners an offer, and they signed on the dotted line to purchase their dream home.
“It truly is my dream home,” explains Marcy. “It was brand new and move-in ready, but the back yard needed a lot of work. It had so much potential, we were eager to get started on it.” Marcy, who has always used a lot of color to decorate her home, got right to work on bringing some heart and soul to the interiors. Having seen Tom Holley’s design work in a friend’s home down the street, Marcy commissioned his help. Tom, owner of Crazy Jane’s in Southend, worked quickly over the next year to carefully curate the look of Marcy’s home. “I really like interiors that look collected,” says Tom. “I like bringing organic casual pieces into dressier spaces. Comfort
is always key, though it all has to look sophisticated and fashionable.” Marcy adds that she has always had a bit of a bohemian flair and is never afraid to take risks. “I have always wanted people to find the space interesting, even if it isn’t their style or taste,” she says. Her dining room is the perfect example of daring and interesting design – from the red leopard wallpapered ceiling, old barrel art chandelier and Indian buffet to the hand-sewn patchwork draperies and natural reed top-down window shades, it’s full of textures, layers and color. “I wanted to keep the modern organic theme of the home,” shares Tom. “You can see that in the reclaimed marine wood, stone accents, and the sea grass and hide rugs in the dining room and kitchen.” All of the color and soul Marcy poured into her home dripped beautifully onto the veranda when the pool and backyard were finished in September of 2015, complete with an outdoor kitchen, fireplace and fire pit. They worked with B and B Pools
When a home in Dilworth popped up in Zane and Marcy Basarwala’s search feed, they were immediately (self-admittedly) obsessed with it.

to design a relaxing salt-water pool oasis, and Marcy took to designing the outdoor living areas herself. “My mom is an amazing seamstress,” explains Marcy. “She sewed most of what you see out there, including the outdoor curtains, which I love!” From Crazy Jane’s, Marcy pulled in some rugs and a cool iron mirror art piece which hangs outside. She uses an underground rainwater cistern for irrigating all the gorgeous and colorful landscaping in the yard in addition to using solar panels to power the hot water heater. Rain barrels (in addition to the metal
screens by the fire pit), designed by the wife of B and B Pools owner Bryant Bedingfield, were painted to look like planters and house an array of greenery and flowers, while a stone wall sets off a separate fire pit area perfect for lounging on crisp spring and fall evenings. “I think your home should be a reflection of who you are,” advises Marcy. “Do something that makes an impact on people who come into your home. I’m not afraid to try unconventional things – if I don’t like it, it can be changed. Nothing is permanent!”u

sALLY MeDICKe, DeSIGNeR and owner of Tres Belle Designs, was working on a home for another client when she happened upon a gorgeous vacant lot that
backed up to a lush green wooded area. Though she had no plans to build a home, she felt like this would be the perfect relaxing retreat, and felt inspired to design a ranch that her husband and two grown children would love. She connected with home designer Tony Frazier and builder Steller Blue Construction and made it happen. “I love a light, spacious feel mixed with interesting architectural elements like painted wood ceilings and

polished nickel lighting,” explains Sally. When it came to the inspiration for the interiors of the home, once again, she was headed in one direction, but was pulled in another. Sally explains that she originally intended to design the interiors with her favorite palette of cobalt blue and teal, but changed course. “When I saw the National Geographic picture of the Rhinoceros that is now in my foyer, I thought, ‘I’m done, I love this guy!’” she remembers. “I developed the gold, silver, black and white look throughout the house and it came together almost magically. That’s when you know you’re doing the right thing.” The great thing about designing your own home, Sally says, is that you can try as many different things as you like. After working with so many clients on many different styles, she says that she took what she liked from each project and put it into her own home. “I wanted it to be fun and cheery and completely unique,” says Sally. “I just started with things that made me say, ‘I love that and it makes me happy.’” If it seems daunting to design your home, Sally suggests going room by room and mapping out how each will be used and what pieces you will need to make that happen. “My

design assistant and daughter, Ashley Bordeau, helped me so much with this,” says Sally. “You need to have an understanding of the way you want your home to feel. As a designer, I think you can get a great look in a number of different ways.” It took the team eight months to complete the home, and the end result was a combination of openness, functionality and a great space for entertaining. Sally said she shopped for most of her furniture and art pieces in Atlanta, especially the Atlanta Merchandise Mart. She accessorized with pieces found all over Raleigh at some of her favorite spots to shop for clients. “Above all else, have fun with it!” says Sally. “It’s your adventure and you should enjoy it!” u

Most people assume an empty, white room (aka “clean slate”) is every designer’s dream...that elusive opportunity to execute one of the “perfect designs” we have hiding up our sleeves. Surprisingly, that’s not the case. A clean slate with full creative license, while inspiring, can actually be the most challenging way to start a project. Without any semblance of a starting point (i.e. glimpse into the client’s design preferences or lifestyle), a clean slate requires a much more in-depth analysis on the front end of the design process. For this guest bedroom, the design process started in our client’s living room. I sat down and asked a series of questions that enabled me to decipher her design preferences, goals, priorities, lifestyle and budget. My client’s main objective was to create a timeless, updated guest bedroom where her guests felt
“at home” in a “luxurious sanctuary”. The custom bed treatment, featuring bespoke dressmaker details and custom bed linens anchors the largest wall in the room and showcases our passion for quality and attention to detail. A stain-resistant fabric covers the headboard, creating a soft landing pad, while providing a strong line of defense against wear and tear over time. A modern charcoal drawing helps offset the traditional nature of the antique oil landscape painting, both reflecting the client’s fine taste in art. An antique tortoiseshell tea caddy and pair of antique bedside chests add depth to the cool, soothing color palette. The chandler, lamps and slipper chairs add transitional touches to a room anchored in traditional elements. An antique Oushak rug and European-inspired swing arm lamps add character to a room with clean architectural lines. My team and I worked hard to create a timeless and elegant space that has “exceeded (our client’s) expectations”. Witnessing the transformation of an empty, white room into a sophisticated, yet inviting, sanctuary is the most rewarding part of my job.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into your kitchen island, the granite herb garden is part of their latest collection introduced in 2015. “As grey city courtyards are converted into green gardens and warehouses are turned into lofts, the kitchen is now being transformed into an oasis from the chaos of modern life,” says Hans Henkes, president and CeO of SieMatic Möbelwerke USA. “With every new tech device introduced to the home, the desire for more greenery and a balance with nature is enhanced.” The herb garden, which is available in all SieMatic StoneDesign countertop options, as well as laminates for even more color options, is part of a theme of open design in their lifestyle-inspired collection, URBAN. Designed to capture the
essence of city living, while celebrating nature and the outdoors, the collection allows organic gardening enthusiasts from cities, suburbs and rural areas to invite nature into their kitchen while delivering an open look that showcases aesthetic without detracting from any view of the outdoors. “The URBAN theme is for anyone who enjoys mixing different styles with a creatively fresh perspective on flexibility and functionality,” Henkes says. The SieMatic 29 kitchen sideboards offer high-level functionality and versatility, with a freestanding “solitaire” design and base cabinets with open shelves, as well as the granite herb garden or storage option for kitchen islands.u

All-Weather Resin Wicker Bad wicker furniture can leave your space looking shabby. To ensure your wicker table and chairs stay beautiful, look for all-weather resin wicker. This special resin shields your furniture from the elements and requires little maintenance. Wash collected pollen and let it air dry, and keep in a well-shaded area if you are worried about sun damage.
Sunbrella Cushion Fabrics Nothing ruins the looks of a great patio set more than mold, mildew and spots on your cushions. Sunbrella Fabrics come in a plethora of colors, bold patterns and classic looks. Not only that, but the durability and all-weather style means you can cover sofas, loveseats and lounge chairs in Sunbrella fabric for a super cozy, indoor-outdoor feel.
Teak and Shorea Wood There is a reason wood furniture is still around. It adds an earthy natural beauty to your outdoor patio, but if uncared for, it can rot or crack. Teak and Shorea are tropical hardwoods. Because of their high oil content and tight grains, both easily shed water making them highly resistant to rotting and bug infestation.
Concrete Slat-Top Contemporary, maintenance free and lasts forever, slat-top concrete furniture is a great option. Many options incorporate fire pits and/or benches, tables and groupings, all can be permanently placed and serve as gathering spaces in a central space of the patio. Often mixing concrete with pine or oak slats, it’s a beautiful combination of warmth and strength.
Sling Furniture For a more casual, lounge-y feel, consider sling furniture. Traditional single-layer slings offer a combination of clean lines, designer fabrics and carefree maintenance. Color options are nearly endless, and the style is no muss, no fuss and created for a carefree more fast-paced lifestyle. Double-layer duplex slings include an assortment of color-coordinated cushion fabrics for the top layer for both comfort and durability.
Warm weather and comfortable evenings are upon us and it’s the perfect time for beautiful outdoor
parties on porches and patios. Make sure your gorgeous patio
set will stand the test of time (and durability) with these
classic patio materials.

Terrariums are typically glass containers that can be sealed or left open, housing plants, moss and greenery. Closed terrariums create a unique environment for plant growth, as the glass walls allow plenty of light and heat to enter which in-turn creates a small-scale water cycle essential to plant growth. Not only that,
but the oxygen that is created is great for the air in your home, which makes the
simple beauty they provide just icing on the cake.
Closed terrariums are perfect for mosses, ferns, orchids and air
plants – all found in more tropical climates,
mimicked in the enclosed
terrarium environment. Open terrariums are better for drier plants like succulents or plants that need a lot of direct sunlight, but not a lot of heat. To make your own terrarium, all you need are a few key items, like a glass enclosure of any kind, potting soil, sheet moss and/or terrarium plants and activated charcoal pieces. Once you’ve lined the bottom with 1 to 2 inches of charcoal, combine the rest with the potting soil and begin to build your terrarium, placing the plants on top with proper space between for more soil.

WHeN HOMeBUYeRS INITIATe A SeARCH FOR THe perfect property, many are left wondering if concessions to their wish list will be inevitable. Can one find a home conducive to communing with nature that also promises the conveniences of a high-end suburban lifestyle? Is it possible to be part of a tight-knit community and still enjoy the privacy of one’s own backyard? Dawn Forrest, marketing director of JPM South Development, a coalition of real estate development experts, says enclave communities offer residents the unique ability to foster close relationships with neighbors while also enjoying the conveniences of the larger surrounding neighborhood. Bridgewater, a private enclave within the master planned community Traditions at Wake Forest, allows homeowners to
enjoy the exclusivity of a smaller, quaint neighborhood while taking advantage of the upgraded amenities of the established community right outside its gates. Bridgewater is the estate section of Traditions and features custom-designed homes, expansive lots and picturesque views for homeowners looking for the ultimate option in luxury living. Bridgewater allows homebuyers to meet with their selected builder, gaining first-hand access to the final design. Homes range in price from $600,000 to $1 million. “Living in Bridgewater is more than an address — it’s a lifestyle choice,” says Forrest. “This is our high-end, luxury community, and only 70 homes are available, nestled within the 140 acres.” Home designs include traditional, craftsman and transitional styles, with larger half-acre lot sizes. The primary demographic of

homeowners is professional families with children, though there are a few empty-nesters that call the community home. Situated adjacent to the Wake Forest Reservoir, Bridgewater residents also gain access to unspoiled natural vistas and recreational opportunities such as fishing, off-road biking and kayaking. There are more than one hundred acres of trails and preservation areas for nature lovers as well as pocket parks and playgrounds for kids and kids-at-heart. The Club, the central gathering place at Traditions, affords residents the backdrop to socialize with old and new friends, gather around the outdoor fireplace or swim in the resort-style salt water pool. Bridgewater is separated by the main road that traverses Traditions, located directly across from The Club and pool. A stone entrance with faux gates, wrought iron fencing and natural
barriers with graceful landscaping marks the enclave’s entry. “The entrance was built to stand out in the community, giving it an upscale feel while keeping the continuity of the overall branding for the community,” says Forrest. “enclave living at Bridgewater seamlessly unifies the privacy and security of home with the luxury opportunities of a large community. Adventure, relaxation and convenience are part of the master plan.”u
To explore enclave living at Bridgewater, contact on-site agent Danya Bizzell at 919-569-5375, e-mail [email protected], or go online to www.traditionsnc.com. The Bridgewater sales center, located at 1304 Reservoir View Lane, is open Friday-Sunday.
