BLOOMING S

pring is a welcome sign after the crazy, cold winter we’ve experienced in Dallas. This issue puts me in mind of spring—rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth.

Our cover story takes us on a tour of a contemporary lakefront home on Possum Kingdom Lake. The homeowners, who had an upscale condo in Miami, wanted a place near their Fort Worth home where they could more easily gather with their kids and grandkids. Interior designer Kay Genua was tasked with renovating the home with a French country aesthetic—repurposing as much as she could from the Miami condo, including an extensive collection of bright, bold Britto artwork. Wait until you see the results!

Our second home feature is a house refresh that happened in four days! This was the second interior design redo Monica Wilcox has completed for the client. The frst was six years

Peruse the magazine and you will read about Heritage Antiques & Interiors, where the owners believe home design should be sewn together with stories and pieces that stretch through time. The Jarrell Company, which has seen a handful of owners since it opened in 1956, is still helping homeowners, builders and designers fnd the perfect appliances, plumbing and decorative hardware options. The Kitchen Source helps homeowners reimagine their space, including kitchens, bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms and other parts of the home, when they no longer work for their lifestyle. Geneva Wallace-Switzer of Designer’s Patio took over the business her father started 12 years ago, taking the company from a retail-driven model to a designer-driven model.

We also feature local artist Mital Patel and local art galleries Patrick Jones Gallery and Holder Dane Gallery & Art Studios. Our Arts section showcases more local artists. Be sure to stop by Salum Restaurant, an intimate venue artfully camoufaged amid a modest row of retailers on Cole Avenue in Uptown Dallas. Enjoy the issue!
