As I grow older, I’m starting to appreciate the wisdom of the universe and the beautiful cyclical nature of life. While the downturn in the economy has certainly caused some pain, most of us would have to be grateful for what we still have. Many things have changed in the last few years but what’s most important, family and friends, have remained.

As we are poised to enter our sixth year producing Housetrends in Columbus, I can’t help but think kind thoughts about the people that have helped to build the magazine to the product it is today. One of those key people is editor Danielle Krouse, who is starting a new chapter in her life and moving to Cleveland. Former editor, Karen Bradner, will take over for Danielle and is excited to be joining us once again.

In this issue, you’ll get an inside look at local interior designer, Rick Miller’s German Village home, which has been dressed in red for the holidays. Also featured is an outdoor holiday lighting tour and festive recipes, perfect for any party. We hope you appreciate our first annual interiors feature, where we asked local designers to show us their favorite trends for the upcoming year.

Big plans for Housetrends in 2011, as with our digital twin, Housetrends. com. If you haven’t visited our website in a while, take a look because we’ve done a little remodeling. We’d love to hear from you on our Facebook page, so be sure to leave a comment or two!

SOAK IN STYLE

Discover today’s luxurious lot of bathtubs In 500 BC, citizens of Rome were encouraged to bathe daily, but typically the cleansing occurred in a public bath. Those few who were wealthy enough to afford a private bath enjoyed bathing themselves in a sort of an extravagant private pool. Flash forward a few thousand years: it’s now time to treat yourself like a Roman emperor and enjoy one of these lavish soaks.

HolidayMagic The spirit of Christmas in German Village

OPPOSITE: Placing a tree in a unique holder, such as an urn, keeps things unexpected and interesting. ABOVE RIGHT: A garland of pine cones and magnolias give this console a festive touch.

Christmas past Christmas is a celebration but even more for Rick Miller whose birthday is the 26th, and his mother’s was Christmas Day. Rick gears up around Thanksgiving because, “I like to take my time and enjoy the process; it gets me in the holiday mood.” He usually sets up three trees and one tree alone can take him a week to decorate.

While he works, Rick remembers Christmases past. He’ll hang whimsical ornaments, such as mini-chandeliers and monogrammed French chairs, on an all-white tree. What makes the tree special are the crystal icicle ornaments which belonged to his grandmother.

Christmas present Rick is an interior designer and his German Village home is accented by red which works particularly well for Christmas. “I’ve

always liked red, so over the years I’ve built up a large collection of red ornaments and use that as my color scheme.” Rick recommends a unified color scheme to achieve a designer look. “Don’t just stick whatever you happen to own on your tree unless you want it to look like a taco salad,” he observes.

Go about decorating your tree as you would a floral arrangement, Rick advises, saying, “Be creative with dimension and placement.” Rick incorporates multiple sizes and layers of ornaments. “I like a tree that looks full so I pack ornaments inside the tree between branches until it’s jammed.” The “jammed in” things become a backdrop and set the stage for his favorites in the front.

If the tree backs up to a wall he does not decorate that side, leaving more ornaments to be used where seen.

Rick firmly believes “more is more. If you think 500 ornaments are enough, go out and buy another 500—you’ll be fine.” He reccontinued >

ommends checking out Hobby Lobby for background ornaments since the prices are good. For distinctive or keepsake decorations, Rick loves Baker’s Village Garden Center in Powell.

In his den, Rick installs a tree in a topiary urn. The room has a cathedral ceiling and can accommodate an 8-foot tree in a 3-foot urn. “The urn adds height and adding lots of ornaments to the slim tree makes it look bigger.”

Decorating for Christmas is an exercise in artistic creation for Rick. “I don’t feel obligated to put the same things up in the same way each year. I play with different ideas and make stuff up as I go.” Rick is not a fan of tree-toppers. “It’s rare that I use an ornament as a tree-topper; they’re never straight.” Instead he uses items that fit into the theme or add a whimsical touch. “It’s fun to have things that aren’t so expected,” he notes. “Some years I’ll have cherubs hanging from the ceiling over the tree—one sitting, one flying.”

Rick believes in exterior decorating at Christmas too and fills his window boxes with variegated greens, sugar pine cones, artificial berries, and holly leaves. He places a large wreath in his courtyard and decorates the entryway, all of which “creates a holiday spirit from front to back.” Rick advises taking advantage of a warm-weather day to hang outside lights and other decorations. “You don’t have to turn on the lights right away, but it’s a relief to have that task done before really cold weather settles in,” he says.

Christmas future Rick’s trees are all artificial and pre-lit with white lights. If he were to use multicolored lights, he would use multicolored ornaments.

The pre-lit trees are convenient to use year after year, but what to do if the strand of lights on a pre-lit tree go out? “Sometimes an entire section of lights will go out because of a problem with continued >

an individual bulb,” he observes. To solve that problem, Rick is sold on a tool he found at the hardware store. The “Light Keeper Pro” easily reconnects the faulty bulb and restores the lights. “This will save a marriage,” he predicts, and helps ensure that your lights will still be working next year.

The trees in Rick’s home come down in sections and are stored in the garage. Rick recommends see-through tubs for the decorations and ornaments. “They make storage so easy, even in a German Village home,” he says. When the Christmas season rolls around next year, he just pulls out the tubs and starts over.

Worthy of Mr. Fezziwig’s ball The time he invests in decorating his home for Christmas pays off, says Rick. Indeed, Charles Dickens wrote that the transformed Scrooge “knew how to keep Christmas well,” a sentiment that equally captures the spirit of Rick Miller’s holiday home.

Governor’s Residence and Heritage Garden 358 North Parkview Ave.

Florist: Oberer’s Flowers Note: Governor’s Residence only open 10am-1pm day of tour

Don’t miss your chance to tour the Governor’s home! The stunning home, built in 1925, was inspired by English manor houses of the early 1600s and features slate floors, exposed beams, dark oak paneling, limestone archways and fireplaces and ornamental ceilings. Be sure to notice key elements that were made in Ohio throughout the house including pottery, glass and a beautiful piano.

The house was built for Malcolm and Florence Jeffrey. Malcolm Jeffrey worked in the export department of the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company, the firm founded by his father Joseph Jeffrey. Malcolm died in 1930 and his widow and

38 housetrends.com housetrends.com

two young sons remained here until 1936.

Malcolm’s sister Florence Jeffrey Carlile and her husband William W. Carlile bought the house in 1936. Mr. Carlile was chief legal counsel for the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company. He died in 1941 and Mrs. Carlile passed away in 1954. The Carliles’ daughter Janet and her husband Rev. Charles U. Harris donated the property to the state to be used as an executive residence.

C. William O’Neill (1957-1959) was the first governor to live in the residence. The Stricklands are the ninth first family to call the residence home.

Anne and Tom decorate this 76-year-old Stone Center Hall home for every holiday, with Christmas being extra special.

Their family tradition still consists of having the kids stay at the top of the stairs to see if Santa came. “We light a fire, start music, make coffee, get the camera and get ready for the day to begin.”

Interesting elements to note while walking through the house include Corbusier chairs, a Rison coffee table and watercolors by Anne’s grandfather, Leland McClelland.

Paintings by Amina B. Robinson are also on display.

Twinkle Twinkle Outdoor holiday décor made merry and memorable

By Jaron M. Terry | Photos by JE Evans Nothing animates sugar plum visions in children’s dreams so much as the season’s first sighting of twinkling, seemingly-magical holiday lights. ✦ When I was growing up, one of my happiest holiday memories was my family’s annual ritual of hopping in the car to look at Christmas lights. I recall how my sisters and I slid back and forth across the copious back seat of Dad’s 1954 Plymouth, jockeying for the best vantage point to view the fascinating color and light show staged upon the houses, trees and lawns of our neighbors. ✦ With noses pressed against breath-fogged glass, we “oohed and ahhed” as we drifted through the multi-colored spectacle. In response to our fervent pleas, Mom and Dad agreed to stop the car for long intervals as we gazed into the living rooms of the few homes that featured aluminum Christmas trees, magically changing from red to blue to yellow to green. ✦ This example of early 1960-era holiday décor might be considered a bit garish when viewed through a twenty-first century lens, but to us, it was one of the highlights of the season. continued >

Creating lasting memories I cherish these childhood holiday memories, which is among the reasons our house is always decorated for the holidays. Today, many families even consider bringing in a professional team. John Spayde, landscape designer and president of Landfare, Ltd., notes that design and safety are the primary reasons clients seek his advice and services. continued > TOP AND BOTTOM LEFT: Landfareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s projects, which range from small to large, also include non-traditional designs, such as this home that features multi-colored prism-spheres and colorful lights to create a fantastical, brilliant holiday landscape. BOTTOM RIGHT: Simple is beautiful when a three-dimensional, golden angel proclaims good news from this multi-columned portico. OPPOSITE: More than a dozen natural-material wreaths grace the windows of this traditional, three-story home in Upper Arlington. Lighted garland accentuates balconies on either side.

housetrends greater columbus 51

landscape trends

Choosing a theme Regardless of whether your family is looking to create a candyland fantasy or a winter wonderland with natural elements, settling on a theme is crucial. Many of Spayde’s clients reside in the Upper Arlington Historic District and have traditional taste that is in keeping with the character and architecture of their homes.

Live garland of holly or spruce boughs, velvet bows with long trains and wreaths of natural material, including pine cones or balsam branches, are staples of his tradition-inspired designs.

Spayde’s professional team includes three to four installers working on each home. With nearly 9,000 lights in a single tree and strands wrapping every branch, most installations take place over a two-tothree day period. In addition to design, Landfare purchases, installs, removes and provides off-season storage for all decor as well.

“Although every application is different, we usually begin light placement before Thanksgiving. The first week in December, we put up wreaths, bows and garlands. Throughout the holiday, we assign drivers to make sure everything remains intact and working properly and we complete the take-down process in reverse order, with visible elements removed beginning January 2 and lights coming down shortly thereafter,” he explains.

52 housetrends.com

Sharing the spirit of the season Although not all homeowners are able to enjoy the services of a professional, they all have the same goal of sharing their own holiday joy, while lifting the spirits of family and friends by “decking the halls” for the holidays.

Of course my husband and I have continued my family’s tradition of “Christmas-light looking” by taking our son after Christmas Eve services to enjoy the beautifully decorated neighborhoods in our community. But, we have also created a new tradition for our own little family. Every year since our son was big enough to hand me the bows, we’ve tied miniature red velvet ribbons and strung tiny white lights on a dwarf weeping cherry that can be seen from our kitchen table. Now that he is taller than me, I’m the one who hands him the bows that still adorn our “special family tree,” which I am hopeful will one day be among his fondest Christmas memories.

OPPOSITE PAGE: Pine cones and red ribbon share center stage in this symmetrical holiday motif.

What kind of shindig is this, anyway?

The level of formality you want the party to evoke will help form much of the decision-making you need to do. Therefore, establish upfront if you’re having a formal affair or keeping it more casual and let that be your guide as you pull together the details. For example, for a more formal party, consider sending invitations by postal mail and complementing them with matching printed menus, place cards and thank you notes, creating a more sophisticated event. For a less formal party use an online service such as e-vite.com to email invites to your guests. If you’re an invited guest, be sure to respond to party invitations by the requested RSVP date.

At every party there are two kinds of people—those who want to go home and those who don’t.

The trouble is, they are usually married to each other.

—Ann Landers Photo by Mike Stutler

What’s on the menu?

Regardless of the style of your party, formal or casual, it is generally easier and less expensive to serve a few appetizers followed by a meal, rather than prepare a large menu of appetizers to serve guests for an entire evening. The number of ingredients needed and the time required to prepare enough variety can make an appetizer-only menu a costly option. Instead, consider serving two to three appetizers followed by a dinner of salad with Gorgonzola cheese and blackberry pear vinaigrette, beef Wellington with red wine demi-glace and sliced potatoes with goat cheese. (Visit housetrends.com for recipes). As a rule of thumb, most adults will nibble six to seven appetizers an hour during the first two hours, and half that amount after that. Also, guests will generally eat about ten percent less at the main meal when appetizers are served beforehand.

Round out your menu by offering a wine selection that complements your menu. Terms such as weight, aroma and intensity are often bandied about by wine experts so here’s a quick lesson in pairing the appropriate wine with food. Balance is the goal, so neither the food nor the wine should dominate the other. Therefore, match the commanding taste of intense wines with robust meals.

Weight is simply a measure of the viscosity or thickness of the wine so serve heavy wines with rich foods and lighter wines with lighter dishes. Matching aromas is not a big concern, but try to pair aromatic foods with aromatic wines.

For an alternative to wine see housetrends.com for a seasonal Cranberry Slush recipe that can be offered with or without alcohol. continued > Photo by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

Elbows off the table, Mabel!

Don’t use scented candles at your dinner table as they can interfere with and overpower the aromas of the food.

Creating a decorated table to showcase your meal, or “tablescaping” as it is often called, can be fun if you’re a creative type or stressful if not. Whether you plan to sit guests down to a formal meal with place settings, or provide a more casual buffet dinner, your table can easily look festive and seasonal.

Setting a beautiful table doesn’t require expensive dishes. Give your white bone china table settings an updated look by swapping out just the matching salad plates and replacing them with inexpensive amber, green or purple clear glass plates. Repeat the color in other elements of the table such as napkins, a table runner or placemats to unify the finished look. You may want to incorporate the color onto your invitations and menu cards also.

If natural elements are more your style, cover your buffet table with butcher block paper and add a plaid winter scarf or piece of burlap fabric for texture. Place serving dishes of food on a small sled in the center of the table or fill pairs of ice skates with greens for a simple center piece.

Don’t underestimate the simple beauty of fresh greens such as magnolia, boxwood or evergreen branches and cleverly arranged fruits such as figs, grapes, pears, persimmon and pomegranate to provide just enough timeless beauty and color to your table. Or consider displaying pots of Narcissus Tazetta, or “paper whites.” Paper whites are fragrant indoor plants for winter and the holiday season, and forcing them to bloom is as easy as putting the bulbs in water with stones or marbles to anchor them in place. The fragrant flowers bloom within about 3 weeks of planting. For extra elegance, lay framed mirrors in the center of your table and set the pots of flowers on top. continued >

Music for your party is a must, so give thought to what your guests will enjoy most, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just turn the radio on and allow whatever is being played to determine the mood of the evening. Create your own music mixes on your MP3 player or use an online music library such as goodnoise.com where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find over 9 million song selections.

Turn on the music before your party begins so it feels festive when the first guest arrives, and make sure it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too loud so guests of all ages can converse comfortably. Good background music should not be too invasive or have abrupt transitions that are distracting. Generally, best-of compilations and movie soundtracks work well because they flow well into one another.
