ADDING LIFE TO YOUR KITCHEN
Savvy design professionals agree, spicing up your kitchen with stylish, timeless and natural materials is a recipe for success. n n n
IN TODAY’S HOMES, kitchens serve a multitude of purposes beyond being a space to whip up a meal. They’re the heart of your home; the command center; the family gathering spot. So it’s no wonder why kitchens are where homeowners invest their renovation budget and why homebuyers pay a premium for an updated look. Laying it out Planning a new or remodeled kitchen can be an exciting, yet overwhelming time. Designer Erika Powell from Urban Grace Interiors in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, says making the process less stressful boils down to ensuring the layout meets your needs.

“When starting a project, we first like to sit down with our clients in order to get to know them and how they will be using their kitchen,” she says. “If an architect is involved, we also like to work hand-in-hand with them so that any overarching architectural vision they may have is included in the interior design as well.” Nowadays, homeowners are mostly looking for open concept floorplans with kitchens that open up to living and dining rooms. And because there’s less available wall space, there are fewer upper cabinets. To compensate, modern kitchen layouts feature expansive islands with seating and storage, a pantry for canned and dry goods, and a butler pantry to hide away less frequently used items.

Spice & Style

“Once we determine the layout, then we get to work on selecting building products and finishes,” Powell says. “While there is a wide range of products to choose from, our style focuses on fine materials and classic design elements. Being near the beach, our clients gravitate toward light and natural materials - and products like real wood are just more beautiful. A wood like cypress is stable and durable with unique charm. It’s a fixture in many of our kitchen projects.” Deciding on cabinets When it comes to choosing cabinetry, architect Ben Patterson from Bossier City, Louisiana, says it doesn’t take long to notice the difference between cabinetry that’s built with solid wood and what you can find at the big box stores. “In my experience, homeowners value the natural character and quality of solid wood cabinets,” he says. “I’m a full-service architect and usually design custom cabinets for the projects I work on. And I like working with local materials, so my cabinet designs usually have a cypress face with a birch box.” Selecting a finish can be tricky, but Patterson
says trends come and go. “Painted cabinets seem to be all the rage these days, but a natural wood finish is tasteful and timeless,” he adds. “And that’s another reason I love cypress. Whether new growth, old growth, sinker, or pecky, cypress is simply beautiful.” Topping it off If your kitchen feels a little bland, luxury homebuilder Matt Cain from Dallas-based Tatum Brown Custom Homes says what’s
overhead is often overlooked. “In kitchens, we typically install a wood plank ceiling treatment to add visual texture and aesthetic warmth,” he says. “There are a lot of materials to work with, but I prefer cypress– especially pecky cypress - because it offers such a specific look and homeowners just fall in love with it. In fact, I’ve never painted a cypress ceiling; it’s too beautiful to cover up.” n Brandpoint

HAVE YOU EVER succumbed to a sense of bewilderment at the rapidity with which disasters seemed to strike? Have you ever felt as though there was no stemming a relentless flood of unhappy, discouraged thinking that was overwhelming you with its intensity? A flood of thinking that unchecked would sweep away all the strength and courage and calm that a firm reliance on the presence and power of God had built up during a lifetime? If you have reached the point where a conscious awareness of God seems to be eluding you, when you are actually struggling to find again the “peace that passeth understanding,” when you are analyzing every thought to see wherein you have failed to meet the demands
by Ger trude M. Puelicher
of an existence that after all is desperately human, suddenly there comes the miracle. It is not a blinding flash of light nor an illuminated scroll. It is nothing dramatic nor sensational. It is a gradual release from heartache and fatigue and concern. It is a slow seeping away of the tension and tautness that were threatening to explode. In its place is a steadying sense of a world that has stopped reeling, of a firmness once more under one’s feet. Peter said, “Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.” And you will find as all others who willingly opened their hearts and minds to it that love is the miracle, the miracle that heals.
The cynic who contends that civilization is degenerating, that the world is a jungle, that humans are animals living a macabre existence has much to learn. You and I know that when trouble comes love is poured forth in a steady, selfless stream from a seemingly endless source. It shows itself in hundreds of little ways, totally unexpected ways from friends, neighbors, associates, acquaintances. And gradually, it heals. Why? Like all profound truths, the answer to the “why” is so simple. Love is of God, and as we let ourselves be a transparency for love we are being a transparency for God. And God has never failed to heal. n E X C L U S I V E LY Y O U R S
