WELCOME

HOME: THE EPICENTER OF LIFE As we welcome the summer months, there is a renewed sense of energy and optimism everywhere you turn. With increased vaccine availability and distribution, businesses reopening across the country and friends and families once again coming together safely to celebrate those special moments, our communities are regaining a certain sense of normalcy. While that idea of normal might still look a little different than it did in years past, there is no doubt that it has changed the way we live our daily lives, today and moving forward.

In particular, the idea of home has taken on a new meaning for so many. Where your house was once the place you came back to at the end of the day to unwind from the demands of the daily grind, it is now the epicenter of life for you and your family. We’ve adapted our schedules, our habits and our routines—and along the way built some amazing experiences we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.

For many of you, the current environment has also provided the impetus to purchase or sell your property. From the ability to work remotely full-time to the desire for more space and amenities for your family, what you’re looking for in a home has changed, as have the locations you’re now open to considering. So, whether you’re moving just across town or halfway across the country, we understand that buying or selling your home can be one of the biggest and most stressful decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. That’s why our relentless network of CENTURY 21 affiliated real estate professionals is here to guide you along that journey, wherever it may take you.

This year, we’re proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Century 21 Real Estate. For five decades, we have helped countless families achieve the dream of homeownership. In this latest issue, we’re taking a look back at some of the most iconic architectural homes and styles throughout the years, and looking ahead at the role your home will play moving forward. Along the way, you’ll find great ideas and inspirations for transforming and elevating your home to meet today’s changing demands.

So, I invite you to join us in the celebration of home and hope this issue inspires you to get creative.

As always, stay healthy and stay safe!

LUXURY BATHROOM TRENDS FOR 2021 6

Your master bathroom is your oasis.

It’s where you go at the end of a long day to wash away the stress, to practice self-care, or to prepare for the day ahead. The bathroom is more than just another room in the house; it’s a sanctuary for relaxation, reflection, and continued well-being.

Not only that, but your bathroom is where you literally and figuratively bare your authentic self, so your interior design should be a reflection of what that means to you.

Recent events have left many of us feeling anxious and drained. As a result, today’s remodeling trends lean heavily towards comfort and relaxation. Spa-like bathrooms with high-end amenities and eco-friendly textiles are the way of the world right now, and there are many exciting possibilities to consider.

B AT H R O O M D E S I G N T R E N D S F O R 2021 Exploring Design Styles

In years past, we’ve seen an explosion of stark and minimalist bathroom design trends. Many homeowners love this look because of its clean, sleek, and enduring aesthetic. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the classics: black and white are bathroom color staples that have endured in one form or another through the decades. There has also been a rise in Scandinavian-inspired simplicity, a style that reflects an affinity for warmth, depth, and the beauty of nature.

Ostensibly, the less cluttered your bathroom is, the less cluttered your mind will be—and that’s sure to appeal to many modern homeowners.

And while this modest style is not going anywhere, we’re also starting to see some bathroom design that leans away from simplicity.

For some homeowners, it’s all about embracing beautiful things. Forget minimalism: some people just want to appreciate the finer things in life! That’s why you might start to see bathroom trends that take a more no-holds-barred approach to self-care and relaxation. In many cases, this means style and glamor, with plants in gilded pots dangling fronds over bathtubs, intricate tilework, and a variety of items (think sculptures, freestanding towel rails, and even luxurious furniture) that make the home’s occupants feel happy.

No matter what style makes you feel most at home, there are no wrong answers. Indulge your senses, and it will always feel just right.

Choosing Countertops

Quartz has become one of the most popular choices for countertops in recent years. It’s beloved for its beauty, hardiness, and stain resistance, making it the perfect choice for the bathroom. Quartz is a processed natural stone that comes in a veritable rainbow of colors, textures, and patterns, so it lends itself to any décor palette. It is dense, non-porous, and heat-resistant, so it stands up to hairstyling appliances, water splashes, bumps, and scrapes. Plus, 7

some great ways to steer clear of a clichéd look.

To liven up your subway tiles, play with patterns, like herringbone, or use contrasting grout colors to create a threedimensional effect.

In 2021, homeowners are forgoing tiles with tiny, dizzying patterns in favor of bold, eye-

catching designs. That’s not to say that every bathroom floor or backsplash has to be screaming for attention, of course; a single-color bathroom with a statement floor tile design can be very effective. Tiles with block colors, oversized prints and patterns, saturated hues, unique shapes, and even colored grout are an excellent way to boost your bathroom’s style factor without doing a Tile design is trending toward block colors, oversized patterns and unique shapes.

complete renovation.

Texture plays a big part in tile selection, as well. From raw, matte surfaces to glossy, hand-painted finishes, there’s a wide array to choose from. There are even tiles designed to look like wood, which is a great way to incorporate a “natural” element into your bathroom without having to worry about warping and rotting.

Whether you’re using eye-popping tile as your focus feature or allowing it to subtly complement the rest of your design, don’t be afraid to play around with tile in your bathroom.

And tiles don’t just have to be relegated to the floor! Visually appealing tile is great for a bathroom wall or accent, too.

Homeowners who enjoy a moody and minimal look will be attracted to the “dark fixture” trend. Black, matte fixtures are modern, stylish, and visually striking without being garish.

As any fashionista will tell you, black goes with everything, so this trend complements any palette. And for individuality, brushed black fixtures are a gorgeous alternative to the glossy chrome that’s been everywhere for decades.

Metallics are incredibly trendy in 2021; copper, brass, and gold are having a moment. Of course, silver fixtures haven’t gone anywhere—you’ll still see them in many a stylish bathroom—but 2021 is giving other metallic tones an extraordinary chance to shine. Whether it’s bright and glossy or brushed matte, you can’t miss with metallic fixtures in your bathroom.

Light, unsaturated colors create a calm environment.

“You might consider making your home office smell like lemon, which has been linked to cognitive performance. Throughout the home, you might want a lavender scent, because the research shows that the smell of lavender is relaxing.”

Most of us default to sight as the primary sense when we evaluate a space for suitability, and there is plenty you can do to improve the visual impact of your home environment.

“Seeing wood grain is great at alleviating our stress—whether it’s on floors or other surfaces in our homes,” Augustin says. “Relatively light and unsaturated colors (which have always been good for use in a home) are still good. And natural light is like magic for us as humans.

Being in natural light improves our cognitive performance—even our creative thinking. Plants were great inside before, and they’re great inside now, in terms of helping us refresh mentally and feel calmer.”

recommends taking a look around your home, and identifying the things that don’t make you feel good.

“You can take action on the stuff that has been nagging at you, but you weren’t really able to put your finger on,” she says. “Figure out what makes you happy and showcase it, because half the time we hide the stuff we love in a box in the garage. Get rid of the stuff that seems like it should be functional—maybe it was expensive, maybe you have guilt because it was given to you as a gift—but doesn’t make you happy. Who are you serving by holding on to all that?”

Once you have assessed the elements you can bring into your home for well-being, as well as those you should get rid of, the job is not done— you still need to keep on top of what’s coming into the house, and make sure you keep shifting things out, West says.

“A house is never done, because the people in it are always changing, and there’s always stuff 13

“A lot of people will have memories of this event that will guide their future actions. The next time they’re looking to buy a house, they’ll make sure it has some space where they can work effectively from home. People will perhaps be looking for spaces with a little more internal segmentation from one space to another, because they’ll remember how nice it was to be able to isolate a bit when they were confined to their home with all the members of their family for weeks on end.”

Aside from the practicalities of working and schooling from home, we should also look for spaces that prioritize our mental and physical health, West says.

“I certainly think that people will be looking beyond the footprint of their home. Walkable neighborhoods and outdoor spaces are more important than they were prepandemic. It’s about the home, but it’s also about what’s outside your home. Do you have an outside gazebo or some outdoor space where you could have friends over if you’re worried about social distancing?”

West also recommends thinking about the multigenerational living that many of us are now doing, and making sure that there are spaces that are useful to the different members of the household—things like study spaces for children, workout “That’s where I think we’re going in the future: adaptable

INSIGHTS

What do you enjoy about the area?

I’ve been in Bismarck for 18 years, after moving when a job opportunity came up for my husband, Kelvin. I was really interested in the opportunities that it offered. There is no question that I now call this place home, due to the opportunities and the environment that you can find here. As Bismarck continues to grow, the people are still the draw of this city. When you are met on the walking paths or on the river, there is a very friendly greeting given to all.

How would you describe the area? What are the things that would attract people to live there?

There is a diverse economy fueled by education, health, state government, and energy sectors. North Dakota has many hidden gems, including the Missouri River, Medora, Theodore Roosevelt National Park, and the International Peace Gardens, and it is the geographical center of North America. The 19-story Art Deco–style state capitol building is one of the only tower-style capitols in the United States.

People often move to North Dakota for the beautiful scenery, great career opportunities, and outdoor recreation.

AMY HULLET CENTURY 21 Morrison Realty Bismarck, North Dakota Where are you located?

I’m in the capital city of North Dakota, Bismarck—we’re nestled along the Mighty Missouri River. CENTURY 21 Morrison Realty covers cities on both sides of the river: Bismarck and Mandan. Our new office is centrally located along I-94 in Bismarck.

Below: The Friends of the Rail Bridge connects Bismarck to Mandan.

Are there any property trends that you’re seeing in Bismarck at the moment? Is there anything remarkable about the properties there?

First, we are currently seeing multiple offers, escalation clauses, and homes in several price ranges going for over asking price. Buyers are rarely being awarded the opportunity to receive concessions in this market. Second, the building permits are at an all-time high for the year; there are two new elementary schools in the works, so new development in those areas is on the rise. Third, 90 percent of North Dakota land is used for farming and ranching. Many homeowners in the Bismarck area are drawn to this area because they want to be on the river, or on a canal with access to the river.

What style of homes are in the area, predominantly?

We have a variety of homes in Bismarck, ranging from historic residences in districts downtown (Cathedral District), starter homes, patio homes, homes on two-acre lots with massive shops, high-end luxury homes with

JONATHAN ENG CENTURY 21 Redwood Realty Washington, D.C. Where are you located?

I live in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C.! And, more specifically, I live in a gorgeous craftsman in the Langdon Park neighborhood with my wonderful partner Kevin, but I sell all parts of D.C.; Montgomery County, Maryland; and Prince Georges County, Maryland. The city is only 10 square miles, so there is easy access to all neighborhoods. I’ve been at this location for 10 wonderful years and the time has flown by!

How would you describe the area? What are the things that would attract people to live there?

The area is growing rapidly. As it’s the seat of government, there are always going to be people coming and going. It is also historic. Everywhere you look there are historic buildings, homes and parks. D.C. has done a great job of preserving its history.

What property trends are you seeing in D.C. at the moment? Is there anything remarkable about the properties there?

Right now, because of COVID, people are looking for more square footage and outdoor space. For those properties, we are seeing multiple offers, escalation clauses and homes going well above list price.

Above: Jonathan Eng Left: Washington D.C.’s Downtown Trolley.

What style of homes are in the area, predominantly?

The home styles are mainly historic, such as Georgian and Federal. But you can definitely find plenty of craftsman, and even modern architecture. And on top of that, D.C. is actually a patchwork of individual neighborhoods, each of which has its own character where certain architecture dominates over others. I can almost always tell which neighborhood I am in based on the architecture of the townhouse. That is one of the many things that I love about the area.

What is there to do in and around D.C.?

The draw to D.C. is that it basically has everything. Washington, D.C. is the seat of the Federal Government, so you have the Capitol, the White House, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress and other recognizable government buildings that attract tourists from all over the world. And, of course, there is an international vibe because of all of the embassies. We have restaurants that represent every cuisine imaginable.

There are also all of the monuments and museums on the National Mall, and the National Zoo. Rock Creek Park is a beautiful natural oasis that city dwellers love to walk, jog, cycle and walk their dogs through. And Rock Creek is certainly far from the only park in the city. Washington, D.C. is known for its green space—including the Tidal Basin with the famous cherry blossoms that just had their peak bloom.

Tell us about what visitors to the city enjoy.

You get tourists from across the country and around the world. Each spring, the city is visited by school children on class trips, and during the summer and fall we get a constant flow of international tourists visiting the countless museums. One of our newest Smithsonian Museums is the National Museum of African American History and Culture. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the National Air and Space Museum are also big draws. Private museums like the Spy Museum are also quite popular.

What is the commute like in Washington, D.C.?

We are second to Los Angeles in car traffic, but we have a wonderful subway system, the Metro, that can get you almost anywhere in the region.

We are also serviced by three airports—Reagan National, Dulles, and Baltimore Washington International Airport—so it’s easy to get in and out. If you love to travel, it’s great to have a choice of airports and carriers.

Tell us about your time with CENTURY 21 in San Clemente.

I’ve spent seven years with the CENTURY 21® brand, but more than 20 years in San Clemente.

How would you describe the area? What are the things that would attract people to live there?

San Clemente is a beautiful, laid-back ocean community with friendly residents. It’s a quiet, fun, oceanfront town with great restaurants and a true hometown feel. San Clemente has skyrocketed in popularity during the last three years.

What style of homes are in the area, predominantly?

San Clemente was founded by Ole Hanson in 1925, and many of its historical buildings still exist. It is home to the historic and beautiful Nixon Western White House (for sale for a mere $65 million), and the city is nicknamed the “Spanish Village by the Sea.” What is there to do in and around the town?

The ocean, beautiful pier, four-and-a-half-mile beachfront walking trail, lovely downtown and Casa Romantica Cultural Center and Gardens are all places you will not want to miss.

Is there much tourism in the region?

San Clemente is a beautiful place to visit. There are no major hotel chains, but there are lots of vacation rentals and small motels. The beaches are clean and uncrowded, and there are plenty of fun activities.

architecture has evolved over centuries into a tapestry of styles as unique and varied as the landscape in which it sits. Multifaceted in composition and singular in stance, contemporary American residential design seems to embody the country’s archetypical values of individualism, multiculturalism, and ingenuity. Decidedly independent of restrictive design ideals, American homes embrace a panoply of eras, global influences, architectural philosophies, and aesthetics— sometimes all in a single structure.

100 YEARS OF ICONIC INTERIOR DESIGN

27

“I BELIEVE IN OPTIMISM AND P LE NT Y O F W H I T E PA I N T.” – ELSIE DE WO L FE

In the beginning, there was Elsie de Wolfe. The beginning, that is, of American interior design as we know it today. Hailed by Architectural Digest as “the American pioneer who vanquished Victorian Gloom,” de Wolfe, who began designing in New York around 1905, is considered America’s first interior designer, and her light, airy interpretation of late 18th-century French décor— revolutionary at the time in its eclecticism and touches of bright, feminine chinoiserie, chintz, and trellising—were all the rage, with a celebrity client list that spanned the globe.

It wasn’t, though, the imprimatur of clients like Condé Nast, Cole Porter, or even the Duchess of Windsor that cemented de Wolfe’s place at the top of the pantheon of American interior design history, but rather her belief that interior design was not the exclusive domain of an elite class of tastemakers. Great interior design, de Wolfe proselytized, is a means to elevate even the humblest home to a place of comfort and refinement.

First published in 1913, de Wolfe’s book on the subject, The House in Good Taste, reads as a veritable manifesto for the democratization of interior design. “I know of nothing more significant,” she wrote, “than the awakening of men and women throughout our country to the desire to improve their houses.” A nearly instant best seller and still in print today, The House in Good Taste launched a young century into an age of a wholly new American aesthetic in which staid devotion to “period” and “style” was abandoned, and Old World ideas were reimagined for every home. It is an ethos that has stood the test of time over the last century, as these iconic periods in American interior design attest.

28

Sleek and glossy, Art Deco style took 1920s interiors in a completely new direction.

“ CA N ’ T R E P E AT T H E PA S T ?

W H Y, O F CO U R S E YO U CA N ! ” – THE G R E AT GAT S BY

ART DECO By 1925, America was roaring into the future, The Great Gatsby’s Jazz Age was in full swing, and a sleek new Art Moderne style had exploded onto the scene at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris. Now commonly referred to as “Art Deco,” Art Moderne’s arrival introduced an utterly unique new design vernacular that seemed to mirror the no-looking-back cultural and social tempo of the times in its sleek, highgloss, and streamlined finishes.

While Art Deco owes its incarnation to France, a quick glimpse at the New York City skyline and Hollywood films of the time reveals the magnitude and rapidity of the style’s transatlantic foothold. Deco-infused films like Our Dancing Daughters (1928), and construction of the Chanin, Chrysler, and Empire State Buildings (all commenced between 1927 and 1929) heralded an era in which Art Deco would dominate design in the United States for more Above right: The Art Deco style uses clean lines, symmetry and geometry to striking effect.

than two decades. Its influence continues to reverberate throughout virtually every facet of creative design today.

As architects remade the country’s skylines in Art Deco’s image, Hollywood’s art designers—most notably Cedric Gibbons (who attended the 1925 Exhibition in Paris), William Menzies, and Hans Dreier—reshaped Americans’ views of interior design. The glamorous, modern Art Deco aesthetic quickly took up residence in Hollywood sets and celebrity homes, and, in short order, designers from Palm Springs to New York to Miami Beach were abandoning de Wolfe’s chintz for the glossy symmetry, metallic finishes, geometric patterns, rich colors, and highly finished details of Art Deco.

AME R ICAN COUNTRY AND MODERN BAROQUE Perhaps a predictable reaction to two decades of the elegant austerity of Art Deco, the desire for a comfortable and familiar-feeling home overtook American design in the late 1940s and 50s, and a postwar homeyness came to define the era.

With designers like Dorothy Draper and Sister Parish at the forefront, this new take on a traditional aesthetic echoed de Wolfe’s reimagining of classic decor for a modern, comfortable home.

These designers, however, shared a love for a new American vision of the English country house: overstuffed chairs and sofas, flowers spilling from vases, uplifting colors, bold prints, and oversized flowered chintz abounding.

“ I N N OVAT I O N IS OFTEN THE A B I L I T Y TO R E AC H I N TO T H E PA S T AND BRING BAC K W H AT I S G O O D, W H AT I S B E AU T I F U L , W H AT I S U S E F U L , W H AT I S L A S T I N G.” – S I S T E R PA R I S H 29

While Draper brought bold tones and brash juxtapositions of color to her over-the-top and highly designed “Modern Baroque” style, Parish’s “American Country” style embraced a sense of nostalgia and well-heeled comfort that felt both practical yet luxurious and “undesigned”—as if the décor had organically grown up around its occupants over the years.

Draper’s designs for the Greenbrier Hotel in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, exemplify her Modern Baroque style at its apex, and her eponymous firm (in business today under the leadership of her protégé Carleton Varney), continues to design the hotel’s interiors. Most famously, Parish designed for the Kennedy home in Georgetown and was briefly involved in the First Lady’s renovation of the White House, but even with a client list that included Gettys, Vanderbilts, and Mellons, it is the designer’s own modest summer home in Dark Harbor, Maine—bursting with quilts, color, needlepoint, chintz, and a jumble of prints—that is credited as her masterpiece of American Country style.

1950s, the modernists echoed the practical optimism of a booming postwar economy in which materials like steel, fiberglass, molded wood, and plastics, plastics, plastics unleashed a universe of design possibilities.

Mid-Century design luminaries like Hans and Florence Knoll, Eero Saarinen, Ray and Charles Eames, Isamu Noguchi, and Herman Miller— familiar today to most anyone assembling their own version of the mid-century aesthetic—were artists, architects, and furniture designers whose work carried Mid-Century’s functional elegance and simplicity at the core of its DNA. Their aesthetics inspired a new era of interior design that lasted into the 1970s in its heyday, and was revived with unparalleled vigor in the early 2000s.

The cool, uncluttered, streamlined, and sculptural design aesthetic first took root in “California Modernism” through the work of architects like Eames, Saarinen, Richard Neutra and John Lautner, but rapidly spread to virtually 30

Bookcase was named after American interior designer Billy Baldwin don’t stand up under scrutiny (Billy, it seems, refers to a colleague of the bookcase’s designer), the mix-up is understandable: Baldwin, a well-known fan of bookcases in his designs, looms so large over 20th century interior design that having a bookcase named for him would hardly bear notice amid the accolades this legendary figure has racked up over the years.

An icon in his own right, no list of iconic American interior design would be complete without him.

A champion of uncluttered, simple rooms that fluidly mixed styles and periods of décor, Baldwin’s singular eye produced interiors that were somehow unpretentious in their simplicity, but sophisticated and elevated in their effect. “The Dean of American Decorators,” as the New York Times dubbed him (he disliked the term “interior designer”), Baldwin’s aesthetic featured groupings of furniture to best suit comfort and conversation, eye-pleasing arrangements of objects and books, an intermingling of the ordinary with the exotic, built-in bookcases, shutters, slipcovered furniture, and a fondness for cotton and organic embellishments like rattan, wicker, tortoiseshell, and bamboo. His design for Cole Porter’s suite at the Waldorf Astoria is often cited as an example of Baldwin at the height of his powers.

Despite a fulsome list of clients that included most of the Social Register, it is within Baldwin’s work that de Wolfe’s call for a democratizing force in interior design blooms fully realized in a new American Style. Accessible to all, unpretentious and relaxed, but “comfortable and refined,” Baldwin’s impact can be found not just in the work of many designers who name him as their go-to inspiration even today, but in the very uninhibited ethos that underpins 21st century interior design writ large. As Baldwin would tell his clients: “Be faithful to your own taste, because nothing you really like is ever out of style.” 

ESCAPE TO Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Snow is often the first thing that comes to mind when the words “Jackson Hole” are uttered, and for good reason—this stunning, mountainous Wyoming region is renowned for its world-class ski facilities. But Jackson Hole—a desirable vacation spot that is fast becoming an enclave for celebrities and luxury property hunters—is overflowing with attractions. Year-round, the natural beauty of the area is unbeatable, from wildflowers to fall foliage and those endless Teton Range mountain vistas.

The villages, though brimming with fine dining, art and boutique shopping, also boast a small-town, western vibe that will charm any visitor or local. With its wide-open expanses of gorgeous terrain, ranch-style living with oodles of space, and sophisticated communities, Jackson Hole is full of appeal for any prospective resident.
