Greater Columbus

a letter from the publisher

Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.

—Woody Hayes

’’

Columbus is an artful town. Evidence of this is sprinkled all over our community—in our newly renovated Museum of Art; on first Saturdays during The Short North Arts District Gallery Hop; and in many of our homes. Central Ohio residents seem to have a penchant for original art.

To celebrate this attribute, we proudly bring you our first art-themed issue, including a cover painted by Greg Storer, a former tight-end for Ohio State.

Greg played for Woody Hayes in the late 70s and graduated with a degree in art. Now he is a well-known artist and art teacher in the Cincinnati area.

I have been taking art lessons from Greg on Saturday mornings for about a year and I can tell you that Woody lives on in his teaching style. His classes are not for the faint of art. (The self-portrait shown here was done as an exercise on the methodology of portraiture on Saturday morning last month.) He is a wonderful and patient instructor.

What started this whole art ball rolling was our visit to the home of George and Nannette Maciejunes. Nannette is the Columbus Museum of Art’s executive director and she has an enthusiasm for all things art that is simply infectious. Caren Petersen from Muse Gallery led us to the art-filled home of Jim and Donna Foster and finally Columbus College of Art and Design’s president, Denny Griffith, introduced us to two of his school’s talented graduates and their charming country retreat.

It was an absolute blast meeting all these creative types. So much so, that we hope to make this brush with art an annual voyage. Let us know what you think.

Celebrate art every day!

advantages Buckeye basketball coach and his wife enjoy plenty of perks while living in their Buggyworks loft

By Karen Bradner | Photos by Dale Clark/Arc Pictures Nine years ago, when OSU women’s basketball coach Jim Foster and his wife Donna were lured to Columbus from their family home perched high on a ridge in the hills of Tennessee, they decided to accompany their physical move with a mental shift. F The couple’s two sons, Christian and Andrew, were in their early 20s and wouldn’t be making the move, so it was time for Jim and Donna to put their own residential wish lists front and center. F Fortunately, the Fosters have never had much trouble knowing exactly what they want when it comes to picking out a house. They’ve moved multiple times in their 36 years of marriage. Sometimes a new coaching position was the impetus, and sometimes the Fosters just happened upon a place that caught their eye—maybe on a walk through the neighborhood, or while glancing through the real estate section of the newspaper.

F “We just always look at different places,” says Donna. “We’re always ready to move.” F “It’s just what we do,” adds Jim. continued >

Urban Buckeyes When the Fosters first came to Columbus they were hoping to take a contemporary twist on their first empty nest by purchasing a downtown loft. Not finding what they wanted at the time, they settled in a charming cottage in German Village. A few years later on a City Hop walking tour of downtown Columbus, Donna got a glance of the Buggyworks lofts complete with wide open spaces, exposed brick walls, high beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and loads of natural light. Jim took a look later and the couple was ready to move once again.

The Fosters purchased the loft in the spring of 2007, and while waiting for their cottage to sell they rented it out. Their tenants left behind a couple of apropos items when the Fosters finally took possession—a giant “GYM” sign and four basketball hoops.

Those mementos still hold a prominent spot in the Foster home amidst their striking collection of contemporary furniture and original artwork. Intimate clusters of chairs, tables and sofas

define several different living areas within the space in a sophisticated, yet understated manner. But it’s the artwork that steals the show.

Large, color-drenched abstracts hold court in prominent positions within the home. Smaller pieces find their own space in powder rooms and over entry hall tables. Heirloom pieces done

by Jim’s father (also Jim Foster) grace the guest room walls. The Fosters often celebrate vacations, anniversaries and birthdays with the purchase of a piece of meaningful artwork.

Does the couple agree on every piece of art? Usually, they say, but if not, they work through it. Recently the coach purchased a piece by Randall LaGro for Donna’s birthday having very little doubt that she would love it—and she does.

Several items in the couple’s collection, including some Sol Halabis and a couple of large abstracts by Robert Livsey Wells, were purchased locally at Muse Gallery in German Village. continued >

Some people are hyper focused on matching artwork to couches, lamps, or tables, but the Fosters buy artwork because they love it, react to it, and encompass it. —Hali Robinson, Muse Gallery

housetrends greater columbus 23 020-027 tFEA HomeCourt.indd 23

8/16/11 12:37:27 PM

“Jim and Donna are two of the most wonderful people I know,” says Hali Robinson, manager at Muse Gallery. “They have a passion for everything in life, including art. They have a great eye for lush and daring artwork and are not afraid to buy exactly what they like. Some people are hyper focused on matching artwork to couches, lamps, or tables, but the Fosters buy artwork because they love it, react to it, and encompass it.”

When asked why he is passionate about art, Jim says, “You see something a little different every time you look at it.”

Interestingly enough that’s also the reason he finds his current home so appealing. “When the light changes in here,” he says, “you see the space with a different perspective.”

Waste not, want not Donna claims they use every inch of the 2,600-square-foot space—most of which is one common area. Only the master and guest bedrooms, two and a half baths and a few generous closets are tucked away.

“I love being able to look out at the wide open spaces,” she says.

“It’s unlike our previous home where we sat in our family room most of the time. Here, we use this entire space.”

Jim’s favorite spot is a solo black Eames chair on the southwest corner of the loft. Donna often finds him reading there in the middle of the night.

“I read all of the time,” he says. “Mysteries mostly. And five to six newspapers a day.”

When asked if his focus is the sports section, the coach shakes his head and says he reads the editorials to the sports pages and everything in between—including Doonesbury. In fact a 700page Doonesbury Retrospective sits on a nearby coffee table as he speaks.

Food for thought During occasions when the pair hosts intimate dinner parties, Donna, an accomplished cook, takes charge in their streamlined, but well-equipped kitchen.

Recently when the Fosters decided to host Master Chef Hartmut Handke and his wife Margot, friends asked the couple incredulously, “You’ve invited Chef Handke for dinner?”

Donna kept a “don’t try to outdo the chef” mentality and kept things simple preparing fresh salmon from The North Market on the grill.

“I wasn’t nervous, because I know I can cook,” she says. “But I didn’t know at the time that he doesn’t care for salmon.”

Luckily Margot called on the drive home and asked for Donna’s recipe because her husband “hasn’t stopped talking about the salmon.” continued >

TOP LEFT TO RIGHT: “Sleeping in the Forest” by Argentinian artist Sol Halabi hangs in the entry. CCAD graduate Adam Jax built custom bookshelves using reclaimed lumber from Coney Island’s boardwalk. An abstract by Robert Livsey Wells done with a technique called “pointillism” hangs on a wall near the dining room table. A mosaic tile backsplash, placed piece-by-piece in the kitchen, is a work of art in itself. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: A rustic work table, flooded with natural light, is the perfect spot for catching up on e-mails and paperwork.

OPPOSITE: The Southeast corner of the loft is the perfect spot for watching “Red, White and BOOM.” ABOVE: Another abstract by Robert Livsey Wells hangs in the master bedroom on a wall that backs up to the dining room.

Family matters

Photos of Christian, 32, and his wife April with their children Oliver and George who live in Athens, Georgia, and Andrew, 30, who lives in Bluff, Utah, are liberally peppered throughout the home. When the gang comes to visit, the loft turns into a model of efficient space planning. A heavy curtain near the opening to the guest room provides a level of privacy. The master bedroom’s oversized closet is the perfect spot for a crib, creating a dark and quiet “baby cave” of sorts, and a grey sofa converts to one more bed if needed.

In fact, efficiency is what Donna is all about. She’s a bit of a self-proclaimed neat freak. Clutter is not hidden away in this space. There is no clutter. Everything is necessary and carefully placed. File folders with artists’ bios can be found in seconds, should a visitor want to know more about a particular piece of art. Even the closets are tightly organized with shoes stored in original boxes and clothes hung or folded with military precision.

Jim shares that Donna never irons because she immediately folds clothes from the dryer with no time for wrinkles. His wife admits that they do indeed own an iron for those times when her mother visits from Philadelphia and requires one.

020-027 tFEA HomeCourt.indd 27

When asked if this type of fastidious housekeeping is tough to uphold the coach replies, “It’s pretty easy, there’s a bin for everything.” Plus, he adds, they finally moved into a place that lends itself to Donna’s style.

There’s no doubt the Fosters are passionate about many things: art, travel, books, wine, and basketball, though not necessarily in that order. A cause especially close to Donna’s heart is Kids ‘n Kamp, a Columbus-based non-profit support group for families touched by childhood cancer. She serves as co-chair of one of the organization’s primary fundraisers, the Celebrity Quilt Auction which is held every fall on the OSU campus.

The next move The Fosters admittedly are itching to move again. No definite plans are in place. But one thing is certain—they won’t be moving back to a conventional house. Jim doesn’t miss shoveling in the winter or mowing in the summer. “Grass and snow are things that we have passed,” he says.

When asked what they look for when they select a new home, their answer is similar to their philosophy of purchasing art. “I don’t know what we look for,” says Donna. To which Jim adds, “We just know what we like.”

Birds Feather of a

Creative family flocks to native habitat

By Nina Kieffer | Photos by Dale Clark/Arc Photography It is often said that our homes are extensions of our personalities. In the case of homeowners Amy and Paul Hamilton, there’s no doubt that artistic temperament drives their home remodeling and design decisions—it shines from every angle and corner of the old house that they’ve worked to restore over the last 13 years.

Background Amy and Paul met at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) in 1987. They recognized each other immediately as kindred spirits. Along with a creative bent, they shared a love of vintage treasures and nature. While in school, they explored the surrounding countryside, picnicking and photographing their way through small rural towns. They imagined fixing up and living in an old farmhouse, pursuing their artistic endeavors in a converted barn.

Paul proposed to Amy in a sandwich shop in Granville, Ohio. One wedding and two small children later, they wanted to move further out—into “the country

country.” Paul, primarily a plein-air landscape painter (along with still life, portraits and abstracts), was searching for the perfect setting to provide him with yearround subject matter. Amy, while studying fashion design at CCAD, had developed an interest in hat making, realizing the potential hats had for “topping” her clothing with the definitive accessory.

Preliminary design Initially they planned to head to the east coast after graduation, but Granville was as far east as they got. A dilapidated farm outside of town caught their imaginations. Built originally in 1859, it had been

a working farm kept in the same family until 1985, when it was purchased by a photographer and his wife, who were aiming to retire there. The photographer had managed to install plumbing and transform a small root cellar into a full-fledged basement before his wife died unexpectedly. Not wanting to handle the daunting task on his own, he put the property on the market.

Amy comments that most people who had seen the farm considered it a teardown, its condition was that far gone. When Paul first drove up to the old house, his mind was made up. He jokes that he wasn’t sure if it was bravery or stupidity that prompted

8/16/11 9:25:42 AM

their decision to purchase the six-acre farm with two barns and an outhouse.

The first order of business was to make the house livable. They had sold their house in London, Ohio, and needed to

vacate quickly. They had two weeks! The walls had been stripped down to the studs.

Floorboards were missing, and you could look up between the floor joists into the second floor. When it rained, it poured

(inside)! They slept on the floor on a blue shag rug. One night they left the windows open, and woke to find the house full of moths and beetles. Paul recalls, “It was messy, messy, messy.”

Birds (emblematic of imagination in flight) are a recurring theme at the Hamilton home—birds’ nests, bird prints, bird images in artwork, birdhouses, feathers in Amy’s hats—a collection of vintage glass topped by bird nests shares a corner in the kitchen with one of Paul’s paintings.

OPENING PAGE: The Hamilton home exudes an air of Martha’s Vineyard, where Paul has done much landscape painting. OPPOSITE: Portraits (by Paul) of the couple’s two children hang in the dining room.

ABOVE: An upstairs sitting room showcases several of Paul’s landscapes. OPPOSITE TOP: The headboard of Amy and Paul’s bed was handcarved and painted by Paul. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: In the downstairs bathroom, Paul gives a nod to the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Paul’s paintings are created specifically for the space and are “embedded” into the walls rather than hung. Florence Griswold’s patronage helped establish the Lyme Art Colony, which flourished for over 20 years, making Lyme the “Home of American Impressionism.”

Artists who stayed in the Griswold house left their mark by painting sections of doors and paneling throughout the house.

Foreground The house has gone through two major renovations since the Hamiltons took possession. The first began with the initial emergency triage and continued over the course of ten years as they worked to add bathrooms, a functional kitchen, a generous wraparound front porch and all the amenities that make a house a home. The oilstained gravel driveway was blacktopped up to the house and the rest was covered with

monumental slabs of black slate that form a large, striking patio on the side of the house on which rests a vine-covered pergola. In 2005 they tore off a second-floor addition and expanded the upstairs.

The family has spent many summers in Martha’s Vineyard, where Paul was commissioned by a local art gallery to provide landscapes of the island. Reminiscent of Cape Cod, the house is covered with sandcolored cedar shakes, and lush beds of

immense, white Annabel hydrangeas line the yard.

Paul is handy with power tools and has done most of the carpentry work in the house and studios. Because Amy was able to set up a workroom in the house for her hat business, he rebuilt the cow barn for his studio first. The barn was in even worse shape than the house, but undeterred, Paul had a new foundation poured and reconstructed the building. He paints

in the lower level of the barn and uses the upper level as a gallery and for painting classes. Once his studio was completed, he tackled the horse barn, converting it into Amy’s studio. Paul’s comfort with tools is exhibited by the garden shed and the numerous birdhouses scattered about the property. He collects old wood from torn down buildings and repurposes it into vintage structures of varying size and function. continued >

Recently, Amy and Paul have focused on their enterprise, Skipping Rock Farm, founded to provide artists the opportunity to congregate and share ideas and inspiration. They offer workshops in painting, hat making and upcycling, flower making and knitting. Amy also teaches Millinery Arts at CCAD. Along with his painting and painting workshops, Paul is the Creative Director of Granville Studio of Visual Arts, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the artistic experience to art students of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds.

But creative souls are restless souls, always seeking a new challenge. On the horizon, another concept is percolating.

Amy and Paul envision adding an artists’ retreat, where guests reside in diminutive, Waldenesque cabins—to paint, write, enjoy the beauty and solitude of nature, or commune with other like-minded souls.

The first cabin is built. They’ve cleared overgrown brush, and built firepits and footbridges. The plan includes a community center containing a kitchen, bathrooms, storage areas and several architecturally unique cabins for guests. continued > 1. Amy’s studio 2. Hat making supplies 3.

Given all they’ve accomplished so far, and their affinity for dramatic transformations, there’s reason to believe that their vision will be reality in the foreseeable future.

Editor’s note: The exhibit Metaphors and Modernism, An In-Depth Look at the Life and Art of Paul Hamilton opens in November at Hammond Harkins Gallery. Amy is participating in Wearable Art: Interpretations of Museum Masterpieces of Fashion Show at the Columbus Museum of Art on September 16.

nAri’s homE improvEmEnt showcAsE: A tour of 13 nEwly rEmodElEd homEs

NARI will be hosting its Home Improvement Showcase — A Tour of Central Ohio’s Finest Remodeled Homes.

The tour takes place Saturday, Sept. 17, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 18, from noon to 5 p.m.

This is your opportunity to meet the professionals, ask questions and see firsthand the quality work being done by talented remodelers and designers right here in central Ohio.

We invite homeowners to see for themselves why consumers say NARI members are making the difference in their remodeling experiences.

For those who have had difficulty locating a skilled contractor, NARI is the best resource in which to turn. NARI contractors undergo a thorough background check and are screened using stringent criteria for experience and craftsmanship.

Remodeling your home is a decision that will have a lasting impact on your quality of life. However, finding a professional remodeler that matches your needs and expectations is no easy task.

These professionals work in your home — the most intimate and private space you have.

Even with all the efforts of social networking and personal advertising, meeting face to face with potential remodelers is still the best way to discover whether you click with a company.

Connecting homeowners with professional home remodelers is part of what the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) has been doing for the past 26 years.

Sept. 17 & 18, 2011 Sat., 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. • Sun., Noon to 5 p.m. $10 full tour/$3 single site. Tickets available at each tour location.

Visit www.trustnari.org for show details.

Home-improvement and remodeling tours provide great ways to meet multiple remodelers in person within a single afternoon. It’s like speed dating for your home — focus on pursuing the professionals that you feel best match your needs.

Attending the NARI Home Improvement Showcase, to be held Sept. 17 and 18, will provide an intimate environment where homeowners can view remodelers’ work firsthand. Touching a smooth countertop, seeing the details in the craftsmanship and observing the depth of the space are all valuable details for anyone thinking about a remodel.

Following a few guidelines will help you get the most out of a home-remodeling tour.

1. Don’t Limit Yourself Even if your next project is a bathroom, don’t skip a house just because its project does not fall in the bathroom category. You might miss out on meeting a professional with whom you connect.

Focus on design elements you are drawn to within the projects. Companies have additional portfolios that provide examples of other work they have done.

2. You are the Priority Central Ohio’s leading remodeling companies participate in home showcases to meet people with a keen interest in remodeling their home. Keep this in mind, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. These individuals have the information you’re looking for, and they want to share it with you. Plus, the more you interact with a company, the better idea you’ll have as to whether or not they are the right company for you.

3. Note What You Like Keep track of what you like at each home on the tour. Maybe you hate the floors, but love the cabinets. Focus on the positive rather than the negative.

What you like always trumps what you don’t, so try not to judge a company based on another customer’s quirky selection.

The key to viewing custom remodeled homes is to understand that your room will be a space with your customizations, not your neighbors’.

CuCumber Beat the heat with a crisp summer salad

By Christina Kleiner

Salads are traditionally considered one of the first courses during dinner. But a fresh salad can be a great option on a hot evening when you only feel like eating something light and cool. Much more than just lettuce and dressing, these hearty creations are very filling meals all on their own. continued >

Cucumber

SZECHUAN BEEF SPINACH SALAD 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized strips ½ cup San-J Szechuan Sauce 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 red bell peppers, seeded and roughly chopped 2 yellow onions, sliced 6 cups baby spinach leaves, cleaned and dried 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ½ cup roasted peanuts, chopped Toss the steak strips with the San-J Szechuan Sauce in a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Marinate for up to 3 hours. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the steak strips and stir-fry for about 5 minutes, or until no longer red in the middle.

Add the red bell peppers and onions and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.

Spread the spinach evenly among 6 individual salad plates. Remove the meat and vegetables from heat and, while still hot, place evenly over the spinach. Whisk together the rice vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper and drizzle over each salad. Garnish the salads with chopped peanuts.

Red Wine Balsamic Vinaigrette: 1 cup olive oil ¼ cup Lindemans® Bin 50 Shiraz ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary Salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 telegraph cucumber cut into small chunks ½ cup coriander leaves 3 cups mesculun leaves 1 avocado cut into 1-inch chunks 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, halved 1 cup sliced green beans 1 teaspoon soy sauce 14 ounces lean rump beef, all fat trimmed off Dressing recipe: ½ teaspoon fresh red chili, deseeded and minced 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped 1 tablespoon chopped coriander 1 teaspoon brown sugar ¼ cup cold water 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 chopped spring onion

First, prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together all ingredients. In a large bowl or sealable container, combine all vegetables together. Add ½ of the vinaigrette to container, seal and refrigerate for one hour, turning occasionally to marinate evenly.

Reserve remaining ½ of vinaigrette to toss with vegetables after grilling.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Remove vegetables from marinade and arrange in a grill basket. Place basket onto grill and cook vegetables, turning basket and basting occasionally with marinade, until lightly charred and tender, about 6-8 minutes per side. Remove basket from grill and allow to cool slightly. Remove vegetables and cut into large chunks. Place vegetables into a large bowl, toss with reserved Red Wine Balsamic Vinaigrette, season with salt and coarsely ground black pepper to taste. Arrange onto serving platter and top with crumbled goat’s cheese and chopped fresh rosemary.

Marinate the beef in the soy sauce for an hour or overnight. Boil a pot of salted water and blanch the green beans. After 5 minutes remove beans from heat, drain and place into iced water. Drain again and combine with other salad greens.

Combine the ingredients for the dressing, stir well and set aside.

Fry rump steak in a heated pan with oil for 2-4 minutes on each side. Rest for 10-15 minutes and slice thinly. Combine the beef with the greens and dressing.

Serve immediately.

GRILLED VEGETABLE SALAD WITH SHIRAZ BALSAMIC VINAIGRETTE 1 large Vidalia or sweet yellow onion, peeled and sliced into rings 2 green zucchini, sliced in ½ lengthwise 8 large white mushrooms 3 sweet peppers (red, yellow, orange) cut in half, stems and seeds removed 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed 1 cup crumbled goat’s cheese 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary

Wonder Rooms 

Curiouser and Curiouser

By Melanie Circle Brown | Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging Nannette Maciejunes’ home, complete with a white rabbit, is a wonderland worthy of Alice’s curiosity. As the Columbus Museum of Art’s executive director, Nannette spends busy days surrounded by great works of art. When not working, she retreats to her circa 1910 home to relax, recharge and reflect. Like the woman herself, Nannette’s home is full of life, whimsy, and a sense of wonder.

Nannette is a collector of art, both professionally at the museum and personally. Her interests are wide ranging and her collections are eclectic, covering folk art, photography, lithographs and sculptures like Rabbit Boy by glass artist Janusz Walentynowicz. “I dabble enough to be dangerous,” she observes with good humor.

to make changes and what to let us keep,” says Nannette.

“This project was unique in that I dealt with the accessories first,” Wilson notes.

“Nannette is traditional and so is her furniture. We wanted to maintain the historical aspect, so every new piece has a look of age,” Wilson says.

at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop 

Assembling a talented team is part of an executive director’s job.

It’s a skill Nannette tapped when she and her husband George recently renovated their home. The project was completed with the help of architect Steve Hurtt of urbanorder, contractor Travis Ketron of Ketron Custom Builders, and designer John Wilson of CRI Interiors. They renovated the kitchen and added a family room, and on the second floor added a master bath and library,

all while keeping to the home’s existing footprint.

“My responsibility was to create a backdrop for her collections,” Wilson explains.

He used the same wall color throughout the home and assigned categories of collections to separate spaces.

Sometimes even individual shelves have different themes.

“The goal was to make each room clean and simple and let the artwork speak for itself.”

The remodeled kitchen provides plenty of room for entertaining and storage. “The traditional design is appropriate to the house,” Wilson explains.

A subway tile backsplash and granite countertops closely match the wall color used throughout.

According to Ketron, the biggest construction challenge was building the support necessary for the new space above the kitchen. The 9-foot ceiling height and red oak floors in the kitchen match the rest of the house.

Pocket doors between the kitchen and dining rooms can be closed for privacy but also help conserve heat. George Maciejunes designed the Franklin Art Glass panes on the doors. Cobalt blue pendant lights add a splash of color to the kitchen.

Earlier in her career, Nannette found herself on curatorial trips around the world. She began picking up “floaty” pens as souvenirs. “It was something I could collect that fit my budget,” she explains. The colorful collection representing twenty years of travel is displayed in glass canisters in her kitchen. continued >

Center for Creativity

 Shortly after Nanette Maciejunes completed her own home’s renovation, she donned a hard hat once again when the Columbus Museum of Art began a threeyear long renovation project funded by the Art Matters Endowment and Capital Campaign.

In January, the museum unveiled its renovated Elizabeth M. and Richard M. Ross Building and dynamic, new Center for Creativity. Improvements include: A Transforming Derby Court by raising the floor to improve accessibility, installing a luminous skylight, and improving acoustics A Reimagining the entire first floor as a Center for Creativity A Renovating, installing new seating, and improving acoustics in the auditorium A Performing upgrades to make the building more accessible for all visitors A Upgrading heating, ventilation, humidity control, and air-conditioning systems A Upgrading lighting throughout, especially in the galleries A Reconditioning all hardwood, terrazzo, and marble walls, ceilings, and floors A Restoring original decorative building features To date, the campaign has raised more than $54 million, which will help ensure that the CMA’s extraordinary collection, compelling exhibitions, and vibrant programs will inspire generations to come. The final phase of the capital project is the addition of a 45,000-square-foot wing slated to break ground soon. Major priorities for the new wing include creating a new entry and lobby experience and expanded spaces for the permanent collection, special events and special exhibition spaces.

BELOW: Yard-longs, antique panoramic photographs, line the stairway. OPPOSITE TOP: A trompe l’oeil mural by artist Curtis Goldstein disguises the powder room door. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: Nannette became interested in Edward Gorey through the books he produced which looked like Victorian children’s books but were meant for adults. Her Gorey collection is grouped together in a hallway and includes a series of ten signed and numbered offset lithographs.

Just off the kitchen is the family room, which houses her folk art collection from numerous American artists including Leroy Almon and Aminah Robinson. There is international folk art too.

“We have a touch of Slavic items,” Nannette says, pointing to a statue of Saint Isidore, The Farmer. “We bought him from a dealer in Santa Fe who would pick up these religious shrine figures which had been forbidden in Eastern Europe. My husband likes them because he is of Slavic heritage,” she adds.

Wainscoting, pedestal sinks and glass-front cabinets lend a 1910s feel to the master bath according to Ketron. The heated floor, Rohl tub and HansGrohe shower are a nod to modern luxury. Ketron noted they conserved by using a slab of leftover granite from the kitchen island for the bathroom counter. continued >

W hat

is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?

Nannette is a voracious reader and in fact, leads a book group at the Columbus Museum of Art. Her new home library provides ample space for her varied book collection.

The library is home to another collection—windup toys. “I have an obsession with windups,” Nannette confesses.

“It all started because I love antique toys, which can be expensive. My husband has teased me that we’ll go broke if I collect those, so I’ve focused on the less expensive windups,” she explains.

She has agreed to certain parameters for the collection: no more than a few inches tall and, while she prefers vintage pieces, they have to be in working order, and cost no more than $10.

Some of the photography displayed in the library includes American cabinet cards. Cabinet cards were popular in the late 19th century and are photographic prints mounted on card stock in order to be displayed in parlor cabinets.

Nannette also collects “yard-longs” which are panoramic photos from the late 1800s to early 1900s that are about 36 inches wide. She buys them at antique stores and especially values those depicting Ohio scenes.

 Their

heads are safe 

Nannette’s home is fit for a queen, but she’s no Queen of Hearts.

“This project was very much a team effort,” she says of her architect, designer and building contractor. “Very few people talk to their contractors after the job is finished, but we still talk to all of them!”

Editor’s note: The drawing of Alice and her comrade in Wonderland by John Tenniel is part of the collection of 42 wood engraved illustrations produced for the original edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll and published in 1865. The illustrations are in the public domain.

Mom has worked hard her entire life trying to make things easier on her family, so I’m glad she’s thinking of herself for a change.

We knew about Wesley Glen’s reputation for quality retirement living, but it’s better than either of us imagined. She’s meeting new friends and involving herself with the community. Best of all, the staff and services she has found let me know she is in good hands when I’m not there.
