Advertising Designer Kimberly Lindamood Sales Consultants Patricia Northup, Amy Whisenhunt

It’s where I think about my day, my week or my month and get my thoughts together.

There’s nothing I can’t figure out in my yard.

—Ann Ruef

’’

We should all have that special place where we can go to get away from the stresses of everyday life. Ann should be especially proud of her back yard, where she has spent countless hours working to create a spectacular retreat that not only she, but friends and neighbors, can enjoy. I can relate to Ann, after we landscaped our back yard last summer we have spent many days already this year working on making it bigger and better, and getting that pond with five fish just right!

This issue focuses on the life we breathe into our homes. In addition to Ann, Bill and Mary Fair have transformed a dark and outdated Forest Ridge home into a place that feeds off their energy. Vibrant and cheerful, the renovated home truly speaks to their personalities. We’re also taking a look back at a few of the great home renovation projects from the 2009 NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes.

Next to family, your home is probably the second most important part of your life. Oftentimes, the two entities blur together. We are constantly looking for inspiring homes in our area that not only tell the story of the house, but the story of the family who lives inside. If you have a story to tell, we’d love to hear about it, just give me a call or shoot me an email. Also check out Housetrends.com for more wonderful ideas for your home.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Yaus and the Housetrends staff

Forest Ridge garden is an ever-changing work of art

By Julie Thompson | Photos by Jim Crotty

Ann Ruef did her best to avoid her mother’s garden when she was a little girl.

Unfortunately, her mischievous behavior often landed her right in the middle of it. “There were seven of us kids and when we got into trouble, we had to pick weeds and deadhead flowers before we were allowed to go out and play,” she says now looking back on it with amusement. F Needless to say, her mother’s garden was an immaculate piece of slowly evolving art from spring to late summer. Now, a grown woman, Ann is following in her footsteps as the garden has become a place of peacefulness instead of a source of dread. continued >

5/7/09 8:46:17 AM

An inspiring hobby About 10 years ago, Ann and her husband built a new home in the Forest Ridge area of Dayton and she has since then molded and shaped the back yard into a living sanctuary. Nearly every perennial—from primrose to blue bells—can be found on her property as long as it isn’t too intrusive. Colors are boundless as well, from golden tones to vibrant hues.

Ann treats her work as a year-around hobby, unlike most people, whose gardening goes dormant along with the plants outside. Cold months are spent creating artwork that will eventually

find its way into the next spring’s garden and an empty bedroom becomes a makeshift greenhouse where she keeps annuals alive to replant when the weather warms up. “I am very, very thrifty,” she says. “I try to use what things are natural and already available.”

Most who venture into her garden would find that hard to believe since it appears she spends just as much money as time in creating it. But the garden, for Ann, isn’t really about making a show for others as it is creating a haven out of her own creativity. continued >

A personal tapestry Ann’s back yard was a gardener’s nightmare when she first moved in. The majority of the property where her new home was built was overtaken by Honeysuckle trees. Ann’s first order of business was to clear out the brush. Among the mess, she discovered a clean canvas, untouched but for a few beautifully established trees.

She began by creating pathways and beds. Ann’s husband, who is a Dayton firefighter, had a friend who had a side business that created mulch from cut down trees. He gave much of the mulch to Ann for free which allowed her the freedom to make as many pathways as she wanted.

Since then, the garden has transformed into a myriad of colorful flowers and plants. It also has taken on a unique taste of its own with Ann’s numerous pieces of garden art. A walk down one of her paths may include an encounter with a pot created from a wooden shoe purchased in Amsterdam or sculpted heads with plants for hair.

Numerous gourds, grown by Ann, now serve as bird feeders hanging from her willow tree, which gracefully hangs over the garden. And stained glass art pieces are strategically hidden among plants and flowers. continued >

People often ask Ann her opinion about their yard or an idea they have and she quickly tells them that she believes there is no one right way to garden. The secret is doing what you think looks beautiful and enjoying what you have created. “I look at your yard like you are the artist and the dirt is the canvas and there is no wrong way to create a natural masterpiece,” she says.

One of Ann’s recent projects is creating sculptures from bushes. Right now, she has a Dr. Seuss bush that originated from a branch. She also has taken a low-lying Juniper and made it into a dragon. Most of the sculptures have taken years to grow and craft.

A serene sanctuary Ann’s garden has an open-gate policy and friends and neighbors often take her up on it. continued >

landscape trends On more than one occasion, Ann and her husband have looked out the window at dinner time and seen people walking through the garden enjoying what it has to offer.

Numerous prom and graduation photos have been taken there as well. Ann gives more than just a show to those who stop by. If someone is interested in a plant she’ll give them a start if she’s able.

Perhaps no one is able to appreciate the garden as much as Ann. The rich soil under her fingertips, the gentle breeze, the industrious ants marching by, the newly spotted eagle overhead, and even the stray cats who take refuge in her quaint shed all bring solace to her soul. “It is like church for me,” she says. “That

is where I pray. It’s where I think about my day, my week or my month and get my thoughts together. There’s nothing I can’t figure out in my yard.”

Ann calls her garden one of her most beautiful gifts from God. She also realizes it is a wonderful heritage from her 85-year-old mother. As she cuts off brown plants and buries banana peels in her compost, Ann realizes all she picked up from watching her mom work her own garden on Superior Avenue in Dayton. “I guess I just never realized I was getting turned onto it at such a young age,” she says.

Neither did her siblings. Today, there isn’t one of them who isn’t gardening on their own. They not only share their secrets and plant starts, but have been blessed to watch a family bond blossom in its own way.

Reinventing Home A look at some of the unique renovations as seen at the 2009 NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes

By Christina Kleiner | Photo by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

The state of the economy has led to many big changes within the home building industry. For several years, new home sales were strong, with new neighborhoods popping up all across the country, including the Greater Miami Valley. Today, the industry is seeing an increase in home remodeling projects, as homeowners have decided to stay put and update their current homes rather than purchase new. | Each year, the Miami Valley chapter of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry showcases some of its membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; remodeling projects. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop included several kitchen and bathroom renovations, as well as a few unique additions. The following pages highlight a few of our favorite spaces from the tour.

Roya teamed up with Chris King, president of All American Home Remodeling, to renovate her master bathroom. King replaced the bathtub with a large walk-in shower comprised of multicolored tile that resembles slate, which perfectly complements the golden tone of the textured walls. Roya wanted the bathroom to fit in with the contemporary design found in the rest of her house, so she approached King about building a custom vanity that mixes dark cherry and glass.

Roya finished off the cabinetry with hardware made of carved tagua nuts from the Amazon rainforest, which re­semble ivory. Other details include the heated floor topped with tile that mimics bamboo and an instant hot water heater in the closet behind the shower. “I love the bathroom,” Roya says. “It’s just wonderful.”

An automatic wave of soothing tranquility envelopes Roya Vary every time she steps foot into the master bathroom of her Centerville home. Decorated in rich gold and brown hues, Roya says her goal was to create a zen-inspired atmosphere. “The old bathroom was all white and quite boring,” she explains.

“It had a huge garden tub that I never used and a small shower and closet that weren’t functional.”

The Singer Residence Photos by Martin Biel/Biel Photographic

Kitchen Sue Singer likes to be unique, so when she decided to renovate her Washington Township home she insisted on a one-of-a-kind look. “The original kitchen was horrible—white cabinets, white countertops, white walls,” she says. “I wanted to pull in warm fall colors to make it look more inviting.”

To achieve that, Jeff Hurst, president of Hurst Total Home, and his team set out to create a kitchen that incorporated color and convenience. Hurst moved a supporting wall to create more space for the new island. The old white cabinets were replaced with rich maple cabinetry. The under-cabinet lighting brings out the rich tones of the copper backsplash. That same copper hue was carried over to the faux painted walls. Neutral-toned quartz countertops and the cork floor complete the design.

Master bathroom Sue’s love of color was also carried over into the design of her master bathroom. “I knew I wanted to incorporate blue into the bathroom,” she says. “So I started off with the countertops and went from there.”

The faux painted walls pick up the blue hue of the countertops as well as the dark maple cabinetry. Tumbled travertine tile in creamy tan and beige tones line the floor and shower. Sleek

stainless plumbing fixtures, lighting and hardware add a modern touch.

Like the kitchen, this was also a dramatic renovation. Hurst removed a small closet to create more space. The old shower became Sue’s makeup and dressing table, while the old bathtub was replaced with the new expansive shower. “We rearranged the bathroom to make it more functional,” Hurst explains.

“The products, textures and colors helped to achieve Sue’s desire to create a contemporary retreat.”

cherry vanity and large tile shower create a relaxing atmosphere. Muenchow suggested running the mosaic border along all the walls, instead of just in the shower, as a way to tie the space together. Nancy purposely hung a large mirror over the vanity to give the bathroom depth.

Kitchen After the bathroom was complete, Frank and Nancy spoke to Muenchow about updating the kitchen. Remodeling Designs took a wall out of the kitchen area, which Nancy says essentially created a new space.

“It’s amazing, looking at the kitchen now I almost can’t remember where the wall was in the first place.”

The new cherry cabinets feature a cocoa stain, while the creamy hue of the quartz countertops complements the almondcolored ceramic tile floor. Nancy says it’s amazing how much more space she has.

“It’s almost like we’re in a new house.

We’re now working on updating the living room!”

Master bathroom Between the 1920s and 1960, new and remodeled bathrooms were decorated in a handful of standard colors such as olive green, baby blue and rose pink. Frank and Nancy Spolrich’s master bathroom in their Kettering home was of the blue variety.

A few years ago the Spolrichs started remodeling their house. “We started with the upstairs bathroom, which was all pink,” Nancy says. “Then we moved to the master bathroom.”

Erich Eggers and Sue Muenchow of Remodeling Designs, Inc. and their team removed all remnants of the blue bathroom, but left the original footprint intact. Neutral earth tones such as the rich continued >

The Sheridan Residence Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

Philip and Jane Sheridan purchased their Kettering home two years ago. While the home, which was the site of the 2007 Dayton Philharmonic Volunteer Association’s Designers’ Show House, had been renovated, the small carriage house on the property hadn’t been touched. “Philip rented space for his office, but thought the carriage house could make the perfect home office,” Jane says.

The Sheridans hired Urbieta Construction to transform the old dilapidated carriage house into a space they could utilize. The second floor, which was originally the hayloft, was turned into Philip’s office. Urbieta installed the wood beams into the ceiling, as well as the skylights to allow for natural light. “We were able to keep the original floor,” says Jane. “We were thrilled because while we wanted to update the house, we also wanted to preserve the architectural integrity and stick with the time period.”

The house was built in the 1920s and still had all of its original hardware, which Jane removed, refinished and reused as many of the pieces as she could. “We also found the stair balustrade in the eaves, cleaned it up and installed it. We added the rest of the balustrade to the main house,” she adds.

The stable area of the carriage house was transformed into an entertaining area complete with a living room, small kitchen and powder room. Everything from the paneling in the bathroom to the kitchen cabinetry was custom made to fit the time period.

Supplying the carriage house with water turned into a large task.

Urbieta ended up digging a trench from the main house to the carriage house for water.

“We use the house a lot when family and friends stop by,” Jane adds. “It’s a great rustic space to entertain and relax.” continued >

The Visser Residence Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

When your home looks out onto a 187-acre nature park it’s hard not to take advantage of the views. So when Mike and Jane Visser decided to update their 1960s Dayton bungalow their eyes wandered to the back of the house. “Our living room looks out onto the street, but with Grant Park located right behind our house we decided an addition onto the back of the house was the obvious choice,” Jane explains.

The Vissers turned to Greater Dayton Building & Remodeling to bring their vision to life. The new addition gave the Vissers more space for their kitchen, as well as a new great room. “They wanted an open floor plan, with plenty of windows,” says Ray Bell, sales manager at Greater Dayton Building & Remodeling.

“The addition is great for entertaining and looks out over a wrap-around composite deck with steps leading out to the park.”

The addition allowed Mike and Jane to completely renovate their kitchen. Cherry cabinets, stainless steel appliances and a

12-foot long breakfast bar that connects the kitchen to the great room are just a few of the new features. The exotic Asian walnut floor ties the two spaces together.

“We have an eat-in area in the kitchen, but Mike and the kids and I are often sitting around the bar, watching television or enjoying the fire,” Jane says, referring to the great room, which includes a large stone fireplace flanked by built-in shelves and space for their television.

The addition welcomes the outdoors in, with a large wall of windows and skylights in the vaulted ceiling. “It’s wonderful to be

able to look out over the park every day,” Jane sums up. “The addition has made our house much more functional and the view is an added bonus.”

area can be used for additional dining and seating space when entertaining larger groups.

A combination of flowering trees, shrubs and perennials are placed to screen the unpleasant views and provide a sense of privacy. Hydrangea, Spirea, and Roses are planted at each end of the patio areas for classic beauty. These plants will also provide fragrant flowers. Low maintenance groundcover and perennials including Sedum, Dianthus and Liriope are used in large masses for continuous seasonal color along the edges of the patio areas.

Steps lead you down to the large pool separating it from the main patio areas. The grass areas next to the pool provide access to an open and inviting space used for volleyball and other fun family games.

When designing a backyard oasis, the ultimate goal is to provide a space for the homeowners and their families to slow down, relax and

escape from their busy lives. This space must also work perfectly for everyday family use, casual fun or gatherings with family and friends, whether it be intimate cozy get togethers or large stylish evening parties.

With this design, the perfect outdoor living space has been created as an extension to the family’s beautiful home. Because, at Michael’s Land Designs, Inc….”Our reputation depends on your satisfaction.”

Of Your Dreams

Custom Outdoor Structures (COS), owned and operated

by Jason Schell, has been creating the ultimate in outdoor living spaces for over ten years. Exotic hardwood decks in many sizes and styles are just one of the company specialties. COS enjoys outdoor living spaces with such features as outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, gazebos, pergolas and awning covered spaces.

COS specializes in many outdoor surface products; Ipe, Cumaru and composite decking are among a few of their client’s choices for decking materials. Custom Metal railings can be added demonstrating a beautiful contrast to the natural and synthetic decking materials.

Hard-scape materials such as pavers or natural stone patios are also an option when customizing your outdoor living space. Outdoor fireplaces and grill islands are increasing in popularity when designing the ultimate outdoor entertaining area. Custom colored and polished concrete countertops are available by design and are a durable favorite for outdoor kitchen and grilling areas.

Attractive shade structures, known as Pergolas, are another product uniquely designed and crafted by Mr. Schell and his team. Add a creative pergola and make your own Outdoor Great Room with accessories such as ceiling fans, lighting, outdoor fire feature and built-in grill islands. One of their more popular pergola designs is being developed for purchase as a kit for those “do-it-yourself” clients.

If you are in the market for a shade structure that also provides protection from the elements, why not check out a retractable awning? Joining the COS team in 2005, Randy Potter brings over 15 years of custom awning experience in sales and installation.

Custom Outdoor Structures recommends awnings made of fabric that provides protection from harmful UV rays on even the sunniest of days. This allows clients and their families to enjoy the outdoors while being safe from the sun.

An awning will keep your energy costs down by blocking the sun’s heat in warmer months. The American Society

of Heating and Air Conditioning Engineers shows that an awning can reduce heat gain by 55 to 65 percent on southern-facing windows and 72 to 77 percent on western exposures. Your awning will keep your deck or patio up to 20 degrees cooler and as an added bonus will keep the inside of your home cooler as well. By preventing the sun from shining through a patio door or window, the inside stays cooler, which reduces air conditioning costs and prevents fading of your carpets and furniture.

See how a retractable awning can increase your living space and make the time you spend outdoors more enjoyable. Installing an awning is like making a low-cost room addition while also adding value to your home.

Custom Outdoor Structure clients would agree their customer service satisfaction standards are what make them a great organization to work with. Making sure the customer receives a top-quality uniquely designed product is priority number one.

Commonly known as the backyard specialists, the Custom Outdoor Structures team would welcome the opportunity to assist you in creating an outdoor living environment that meets your needs and exceeds your greatest expectations.

COS carries three lines of retractable awnings providing versatility and flexibility to address any and all of your needs with a shade solution. A wide variety of styles, sizes and colors are available: currently being showcased is the new Pergola Awning. European styling combined with American pizzazz provides cover for your outdoor living space that repels rain creating what acts as a retractable roof.

For more information and to view available awning products check out our website at “http://www.customoutdoorstructures.com” www.customoutdoorstructures.com Please look for us in the next issue of Housetrends® showcasing our solution to the “backyard challenge.”

Inspired by Nature Renovated home is captivated by its natural surroundings

By Alison Bour | Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

When Mary Fair first walked into the house for sale off Rahn Road, she had one immediate thought: “There’s no way I’m buying this.” F It was rustic and dark.

There were heads of dead animals on the walls. It resembled a hunting lodge. F After the initial shock, Mary and her husband, Bill, began to see potential. They were especially enthralled with the private, scenic views. They started visualizing a home as they might decorate it—elegant and airy, inviting nature in through every window. After the purchase, the kitchen went first. “It was gutted,” says Mary.

“We worked from top to bottom.” F An entertaining kitchen design The Fairs hired Clive Morgan, a designer with Knapke Cabinets, Inc. and Randy Luken of Luken Interiors to handle the first installment of their new vision. F Tired wooden sliding glass doors, crank-style windows and dark brown tile, which had to be jack-hammered out, were replaced with exquisite Brazilian mahogany flooring, a black granite island and white quartz countertops that resemble marble but offer more durability and safety for cutting. continued >

“They wanted an open, stylish feel,” says Morgan.

After working with the Fairs, he presented raised pillow-paneled cabinets in maple with a Chantille Espresso finish to add character and detail. “I tried to get almost an Italian townhouse look because of the tall ceilings and new windows, which made it very bright. Mary’s well-traveled and I’m European so we had empathy there,” adds Morgan.

The Fairs replaced an outdated skylight and added an arched window. But that wasn’t all: if the kitchen’s original décor was off the mark, so was its ability to function for the Fairs, avid entertainers who host large gatherings for family and friends.

The island was too small and had little room for food prep and casual seating. The drawers and storage weren’t convenient in location or design. An angled wall in the kitchen needed to be lowered and leveled out. An old bathroom became a new laundry room hidden behind two doors.

In addition to these changes, Knapke made sure to create a comfortable atmosphere. The custom-made pantry door, which mirrors the look of the cabinets, is just one of the ways the company prides itself on

creating beautifully detailed pieces. “We create a furniture feel as opposed to a kitchen-cabinet feel.”

There’s now modern storage with pullout drawers, and a place to keep food warm on the island. The Fairs can simply push a button to access a microwave, also on the island.

Morgan says the kitchen now reflects a spacious “linen” feel without being stark white. Madden Tile installed a tile backsplash in a creamy white hue to match the counters.

Additionally, Knapke recreated a tray ceiling, utilizing high-stacked crown molding. An open area leading from the kitchen to what Mary originally called the “hunt room,” was enclosed to offer a more stately atmosphere. By the end, the entire layout, except the sink, was changed.

“We live differently now,” says Morgan. “People do more cooking at home. The kitchen is the hub of the home.”

Luken worked with Mary on the finishing touches, concentrating on a soft, buttery yellow color for the walls and small paintings. continued >

OPPOSITE: The stone fireplace was enclosed with wall board and faux-painted to resemble marble.

ABOVE RIGHT: The vanity mirror in the master bathroom reflects the jetted bathtub.

Complementing living spaces After the kitchen was finished, the Fairs took a long look at the rest of the house. Bill says the new kitchen made other rooms stand out even more as misfits.

The Fairs wanted an elegant foyer with a look that could be carried throughout the home. Dark square tiles were replaced with marble. The same Brazilian wood from the kitchen was installed in the dining and front living rooms.

Of course the animal heads had been removed from the great room but it still looked like a lodge, complete with a barn beam for a mantel. Luken and Richard Mantia, a local artist and faux painter, worked their magic. The original rock fireplace was enclosed with wall board, and Mantia painted a fauxmarble design on it.

The Fairs especially love the daily reply nature sends to their invitation to come inside: “As the sun or moon rises, it comes right across the new windows

in the great room,” says Bill. “It allows us to decorate as each season changes,” adds Mary.

Off the great room, a pass-through was walled up to accommodate a piano, and in an old study that now serves as a small family room, built-in gun cases were replaced with book shelves.

The new master bathroom rounds out the couple’s quest to create the perfect escape. It has all the expected features: jetted tub, skylight, mirrored vanity. What sets it apart is its Venice-retreat flair, scrolled and mosaic tiling, lighting fixture from New York—in classic style bronze with alabaster bowls— and another faux masterpiece by Mantia to pull it all together.

Now the house is a reflection of the Fairs’ personality-friendly and cheerful. Mary says the best thing about their home is that they can share it with family and friends.

How to properly make a bed and place pillows with precision for a stunning statement in slumber style

decorating trends A well-dressed bed is the signature of any boudoir. For many interior designers and their clients, that means an inviting profusion of decorative pillows at the head of the bed. “Men generally prefer fewer pillows,” says Nancy Sanford of Nancy Sanford Designs in Denver.

“Women? They tend to really go big for pillows.” Shannon Miller, a designer at Scandia Down in Indianapolis, concurs.

“A lot of men would rather not be taking a bunch of pillows off before they get into bed.”

Gender notwithstanding, a good pillow is important to your sleeping health. Understand that the pillow you rest your head on is a different animal than the decorative pillows that lend that luxuriant look to a bed. For example the DeeperSleeper pillow from WÜL is made in a blend of 60% washable wool and 40% spiral shaped manmade fibers to gently support your head and neck. Your sleeping pillow should be covered in a pillowcase that matches your sheets in both design and thread-count.

Mix it up Sanford likes when decorative pillows aren’t too “matchy.”

There’s no reason, she says, to do “shams that match the bedding that match the window treatments. Quirky is good.”

Sanford especially likes to experiment with shapes, particularly pillows that are round or kidney-shaped. Bolsters— long cylindrical pillows—are also a nice touch. “Varying the height of the pillows against the headboard is key,” she says. Prop taller shams (Miller calls them European-size pillows) against the headboard or wall, if you don’t have a headboard, then position a row of medium-height ones.

This row could include your sleeping pillows. Next, perhaps two or three round “boudoir” pillows or bolsters that can look as if they’ve been tossed casually on the bed, to create interesting angles. “When I design a bed, I draw it out to scale,” says Sanford.

Both designers encourage homeowners not to fear experimenting with interesting textural fabrics—even fur or leather. Contrast is extremely attractive to the eye. Try a variety of diverse trims, they suggest, including fringe or ribbons. Most people are happiest with their bed’s appearance when their sheets coordinate or even contrast with the patterns, textures, weight and colors of the bed’s decorative elements. “If everything’s the same smooth texture or uniform color, it won’t have the snuggly-ness most people look for,” says Sanford.

decorating trends Sanford’s been using a lot of high-quality fleece lately for pillow shams. Shams, by the way, are simply decorative, slip-on, slip-off coverings for pillows. “The best fleece has the luxurious feel of cashmere,” she says. “And best of all, it’s very wash- and dry-able.”

Other bed accessories Still, pillows are but one component of a well-dressed bed.

Duvet covers, which you can think of as decorative shams for large down-filled comforters, have largely replaced the outmoded “bedspread” in many bedrooms.

Bed skirts, also known as dust ruffles, are being used less often these days. “I’m doing a lot more beds with upholstered sides,” notes Sanford, who also suggests tucking in sheets all the way up both sides of the bed, to provide a crisper appearance. “We’ve gone for cleaner lines the last few years,” says Sanford. Miller says that at Scandia Down, decorative box-spring covers are more popular than bed skirts among her clientele.

Upholstered headboards are perennially trendy. They’re a hit with people who can’t warm up to eight or ten pillows propped at the head of their bed. “If you love fabric like I do,” says Sanford, “upholstered headboards are one more way to work in a fun fabric.” Headboards provide nice support when you want to read in bed; they’re also elegant. “Headboards add a richness and a completeness,” says Sanford, adding that tall headboards are actually cozier than shorter ones.

For a more Asian influence, consider having a silk bedrunner made. A bed-runner runs width-wise across the foot of the bed, usually on top of a duvet, and lends a more tailored look than many other styles.

Drowning in pillows Lastly: what to do with all those pillows while you’re sleeping? “Toss them on a chair,” says Sanford, “or better yet, on a beautiful bench at the foot of the bed. Typically with good bedding, people aren’t sleeping with it.”

Sanford says not to sweat it if your pillow arrangement isn’t identical every morning. “Very few things stay the way they are forever—including pillow arrangements,” she says. “Have fun with those pillows. Try a variety of arrangements. Let things evolve.”
