new year means a fresh start. We’re done with the whirlwind of holiday entertaining and ready to put the décor away and reclaim our neat and tidy homes. But edit too much and minimalism can feel cold and stark, so we’ve got some tips from guest expert Liz Marie Galvan on how to stay warm and embrace coziness. In our personal lives, it’s also a chance to embrace healthy lifestyles with an eye toward wellness. Houston House & Home Magazine is paving the way in Recipe with fitness tips from nutritionist Cassy Joy Garcia and mouthwatering recipes from the Cala-Vie Health Spa. Whether you plan on renovating this year or are looking to build new, we know you’ll meet the vendors who can make those dreams come true at one of the upcoming home shows. With events planned in Houston, Sugar Land, Katy, Conroe, Cy-Fair and Humble, we can guarantee there’s a show in your neighborhood. Read more in Calendar. But as we enter this next decade and embrace the new technologies and products on the market, it’s important to not lose sight of the past. Miss Ima Hogg understood the value in curating and preserving vintage pieces from a bygone era, so this month we’re exploring Texas cabinetmakers who were active until about 1880. It was only then that the railroads started to bring in the less expensive — and less original — factory-made goods. Saddle up and take a trip with us down one of the figurative roads of Texas film history. Our special section covers the Texas Film Commission’s Texas Westerns Trail, with a look at
the towns made famous (or infamous) in movies like Hud, True Grit, Giant and Urban Cowboy. Galveston’s on that list — that’s where Gambler V: Playing for Keeps was filmed — but you’ll want to dig deeper into our Galveston Speakeasy feature. Writer Barbara Canetti and her husband recently restored an 1890 cottage that revealed a few surprises once the vintage wallpaper was pulled away. For luxury that sparkles, we’re showcasing one of the most expensive listings at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty. From hand-painted de Gournay wallpaper to a chef’s kitchen with top of the line Gaggenau appliances, plus a wine vault with room for entertaining, this magnificent estate home is breathtaking in its every detail. Psst. Have you heard? Pantone has announced its color of the year and has settled on Classic Blue to carry us through 2020. Turn to our expanded Editor’s Picks to find the fashion, furnishings and original artwork to adorn home and office. Moving outdoors, Joshua Kornegay of Joshua’s in the Heights tells us that this is the best time for planting trees, and he’s got some excellent suggestions — even for the tiniest of yards. Read more in Gardening. At Houston House & Home Magazine, we’re excited about the coming season and are looking forward to another year of introducing homeowners and professionals to the local vendors and suppliers they need and want.

TIME TO GET COZY Survive the Winter Months With All the Comforts of Home
W
hen a chill seeps into our south Texas weather, it’s time to get cozy. But creating a comfortable home for wintry weather conjures different sights and smells for each of us. It might mean the glow of a fireplace with a cup of hot cocoa or the smell of a favorite dish from childhood. It could be a soothing color, a perfect pillow, or hugging a favorite pet. “A cozy space is one where you can decompress and completely relax,” writes designer Liz Marie Galvan, the author of Cozy White Cottage: 100 Ways to Love the
20 house& home | January 2020 | www.houstonhouseandhome.net
Feeling of Being Home. Ideally each person’s home should reflect his or her heart’s desire. For Galvan, that means comfort, warmth and security. “I have many tips to help make a cozy home but it really comes down to what makes each person feel good,” Galvan says. To make your home a place where you love to be consider all five senses when you are designing a room. Make it livable for your whole family and choose items that are functional while also matching your personal style.
21
Displaying items that bring you joy will help to personalize and cozy up your home.
Another tip is to clear out the clutter. “More stuff brings more stress. More stuff doesn't mean more joy,” Galvan says. “Look around you: Does everything in your home bring you joy? Does it help or benefit you and your family? Or, does it cause chaos and annoyance?” Once you’ve managed the clutter, try these pointers to make your home more inviting. Add a rug to your room or layer a natural fiber weave atop a cozy wool rug. “Rugs add a soft texture to a room and sometimes bring more color or interest to a space,” advises Galvan. Load up on texture with comfortable pillows and throws. Texture adds depth and character to a room. Blankets and pillows have the ability to soften and warm
up an uninviting room for the people who live there, as well as your guests. A soft, luxurious throw — like the unique mohair throws at Biscuit Home — can make a piece of furniture feel instantly welcoming. If a room doesn't feel anchored or seems sterile, adding a piece of wood furniture will warm up the space. “Placing a large wood armoire, a wood coffee table, or wood accents next to a white sofa can — Liz Marie Galvan make a world of difference,” Galvan says. If you want to add a splash of color with a larger painted piece, she recommends a cautious approach. “If the thought of painting a wood piece grips your heart with fear, start small. Leave your grandmother’s antique buffet alone,” she counsels. Or, you could just go straight to the shops. There are many unique (and already painted) furni-
“If the thought of painting a wood piece grips your heart with fear, start small.”

ture finds at Shabby Chic Texas. Add seasonal greenery by bringing in plants or making your own terrarium. For a pop of color during the dormant growing season, go to a local greenhouse and pick out different garlands and branches. Also, natural greenery can carry through the rest of winter, including for holiday wreaths, branches, and garlands. A great tip is to remove most of your twinkle lights but keep a few around in small spots such as jars or vases. Remove anything that’s red and replace it with creams or whites. Galvan suggests adding something shiny like a mirror or metal candlesticks. “It adds a hint of elegance to your space that makes eyes linger longer,” she says. Head over to Three Doors Houston for furnishings and accessories that shine. For a comfy bedroom, try large pillows and soft linens. “Bedrooms should be soothing, a place to gather us in at night and comfort us. That looks different for everyone,” Galvan says. Her method begins with keeping it tidy and

uncluttered, then focusing on a quality mattress and bedding. And leave technology — including phones — outside the door. For luxe bedroom goods here in Houston, shop the collections at Peacock Alley and Tribute Goods. Lastly, add a spicy scent to the air. Candles are Galvan’s favorite accessories for adding a cozy glow to any space. “When it comes to adding a delicious scent to your home, candles are the simplest answer yet make a dramatic difference,” Galvan says. “A single candle in a vignette with its flickering, fiery wick can add just the right glow to any room.” Locally, Foxfire Candle Works offers an array of intoxicating aromas.

A MOMENT IN TIME Craftsmanship Was King Before the Railroads Spread Through Texas
H
ere in Houston we like to think that Miss Ima Hogg belonged to us, with her former home on Memorial preserved by the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in the 14-acre Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens. But “The First Lady of Texas,” who was known for her philanthropy and patronage of the arts, also was active in Fayette County and donated the 225-acre Winedale Historical Complex with its collection of 19thcentury structures and period furnishings to UT-Austin’s Briscoe Center. Texas Governor Allan Shivers probably described her best: “Some persons create history. Some record it. Others restore and conserve it. She has done all three.” While Hogg did collect Native American and Modern European art and objects, it was her fascination with American furnishings that led to the book, Texas 26 house& home | January 2020 | www.houstonhouseandhome.net
Furniture: The Cabinetmakers and Their Work, 1840-1880, written by Lonn Taylor and David B. Warren and published by University of Texas Press. Hogg came to know Warren in 1965 when she hired him as the curator for Bayou Bend just months before the house museum was opened to the public; he later wrote the biography, Ima Hogg: The Extraordinary Cultural Patron Behind the Unusual Name. Taylor, who was Winedale’s first curator and later served for 18 years at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, died in June 2019. Research for Texas Furniture included a look at census lists from every county in Texas to find the cabinetmakers, wheelwrights, carpenters and builders who crafted furniture in our region. While that first book relied heavi-

“The German furniture is much more finely crafted; they brought the traditions from Germany.” — David B. Warren ly on the furnishings at Winedale, the 2012 release of Volume Two added images and provenance for more than 150 additional pieces of furniture not included in Volume One. This updated version also contains biographical information for about 900 men who made furniture in Texas, that is until the 1880s when railroads began to bring in the less expensive factory-made furnishings. The second release also compares and contrasts the sometimes primitive Anglo-American style with the more sophisticated German traditions of cabinetmaking. “The Anglos were nailing things together like orange crates,” says Warren. “The German furniture is much more finely crafted; they brought the traditions from Germany. “They brought with them also the classic Biedermeier style which the Anglos weren’t using at all,” says Warren, of the more
streamlined and less opulent evolutions from the Neoclassical. Warren tells us that most furnishings weren’t signed, but that there are things to look for when attributing a piece to a particular maker. In their research Taylor and Warren checked with the descendants of craftsmen and used identifying features from those pieces as a sort of Rosetta stone to identify similar objects and styles. For those wishing to collect the wardrobes, chairs, stools, tables, desks, cupboards and safes documented in
Texas Furniture, Warren cautions that, “it’s a very dodgy thing nowaways to collect Texas furniture. “I think it’s very difficult unless you have the documentation to make sure pieces were made in Texas,” cautions Warren, though his advice is to turn to reputable antique dealers. 27

With shrimp, broccoli, snow peas, bell peppers, and a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce, this vibrant and savory dinner is sure to become a weeknight favorite. Recipe courtesy of Cassy Joy Garcia’s Cook Once, Eat All Week cookbook.
INGREDIENTS 1 tablespoon butter or extra-virgin olive oil 2 leeks, cleaned and roughly chopped, white and light green parts only 3 cloves garlic, minced 5 cups chicken or vegetable stock 2 medium heads of cauliflower, chopped into florets (or about 7 cups of florets) 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped 1 teaspoon coarse salt 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
METHOD Set the Instant Pot to “saute” mode and add the butter to the pot. Once melted, add the leeks and cook for four to five minutes, until soft and wilted. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant, and then turn off the pot. Add the chicken stock and scrape the browned bits off the bottom. Then add the cauliflower, thyme, and salt. Seal the pot and hit the “manual” button and set to cook for five minutes. After the timer goes off, release the pressure from the pot. Either use an immersion blender to blend the soup in the pot or add it to a blender, working in batches if needed, and blend until smooth. Add the blended soup back to the pot and stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed. Serve piping hot. Yield: Six servings 32 house& home | January 2020 | www.houstonhouseandhome.net

METHOD To make the teriyaki sauce, add the coconut aminos to a small skillet over medium heat. Simmer for ten to 15 minutes until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the pan from heat and whisk in the vinegar, sesame oil, and fish sauce. Set the teriyaki sauce aside.

Season the shrimp with salt and add 1 tablespoon ghee to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for four to five minutes, turning halfway through, until pink and fully cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of ghee to the skillet along with the broccoli, snap peas, and bell pepper. Cook for six to seven minutes until vegetables are soft. Add the ginger and garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Return the shrimp to the pan with the vegetables, add the red pepper flakes, and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. Stir to combine and cook for one minute until the sauce is bubbling. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve over brown rice or quinoa. Yield: Six servings

CINEMATIC WONDER There’s a Reason Hollywood Keeps Returning to the Lone Star State By Natalie de la Garza, Katricia laNG aNd SuSie tommaNey
S
addle up and take a trip down one of the figurative roads of Texas film history. The Texas Film Trails recognize the communities that have opened their homes to film and television productions, says Taylor Hertsenberg, senior marketing specialist for the Texas Film Commission, the entity that curates these trails. Additionally it’s a way for the commission, which often focuses on the filmmaking community, to engage with the community at large. The series also show the enduring benefit of hosting a film production. Increased spending by out-of-town film crews provides a short-term boost to the local economy, but there’s no time limit on tourism. While the Texas Film Commission has several film trails, this month we’re moseying down the Texas Westerns Trail. Chart your course at gov.texas.gov/film/trail/texas-westerns-trail. — KL

ith just one look at at the opulent estate home at 324 Buckingham in the tony Memorial area, it’s easy to understand why it’s one of Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty’s most expensive listings, currently on the market for $13.7 million. Its location, pristine design and no-stone-left-unturned attention to detail are stunning in their grandeur. The real estate firm’s elevator pitch sums up the residence perfectly. “Situated on a prime, two-plus acre wooded lot at the end of a cul de sac … this Neoclassical residence’s Palladian proportions, soaring ceilings, and sweeping, light-filled interior vistas offer architectural grandeur and magnificent design.”

Our generation didn’t invent the concept of upcycling. This Galveston cottage was most likely constructed using wood from 20 or more houses that had been torn down before 1890.
GALVESTON SPEAKEASY Remodel Reveals a Colorful Mix of Wood Sourced From Dozens of 19th Century Homes By BarBara Canetti | Photos By Carlos antonio rios
Editor’s note: What a joy it was for us to discover that one of our top writers had just finished her own remodel journey. You’ll be amazed at what Barbara Canetti and her husband accomplished with creativity, vision and perseverance.
Y
ou know the old adage – if these walls could talk! Well, the walls in this little house we completely refurbished in Galveston are talking and telling quite a story. The 1890 cottage, raised five feet after the 1900 storm and occupied until 2007, has been renovated and furnished as a short-term rental. But in the restoration process, glorious walls were uncovered and restored. Along the way it also earned a new moniker: Galveston’s Speakeasy Cottage (more on that later).
48 house& home | January 2020 | www.houstonhouseandhome.net
The work on this house had to conform to the city’s stringent landmark regulations because it is located in the San Jacinto neighborhood, one of the city’s three designated historical areas. A variety of wood styles in a rainbow of colors and assorted sizes cover the walls of all the rooms, as well as the 12-foothigh ceilings. According to Dwayne Jones, executive director and chief executive officer of the Galveston Historical Foundation, early city dwellers were some of the first recyclers
A white country kitchen is the perfect foil for the colorful mishmash walls and center island. The peek-a-boo front door gives the cottage its throwback moniker.
“I think these walls, even with the scars and scrapes, add so much character to the house. It is timeless and durable and certainly rather different.” — Carlos Antonio Rios of building materials. Small houses were often put together using salvaged wood from piles created when older structures were torn down. When sheetrock was pulled from the walls during this restoration, scraps of vintage wallpaper lingered, hanging on by threads and thousands of tacks. After that debris was taken down, the original planks of wood appeared. All of the rooms had this colorful mishmash of wood, which was marred, scarred and dirty. Cleaning the walls took weeks, but what
emerged was an interesting look back at the origins of the home. Because of the different colors, textures and styles, it is quite possible the interiors for this cottage came from 20 or more other houses that were torn down before 1890. The wood is painted in muted tones of green, blue, brown, white, beige, pink and natural wood. Some of the planks are fourinches wide, some are five and some are three, as well as beadboard and tongue-in-groove wood. The historic materials give

a nod to the character of the house and the period of time when it was built. Once all the wood was exposed during our restoration project, it was lightly sanded to remove grime and then caulked to prevent airflow and dust. Then two coats of a glossy clear polyacrylic coating were applied to bring out the grain in the wood and finally a coat of matte polyacrylic was applied to tone down the shine. With all the rich colors on the walls, the furnishings in the house needed to be rather subdued. A gray, off-white and black palette was used to decorate the rooms. The amount of art and artifacts is limited, allowing the walls to be the decoration. Original transoms over the doors were refinished, and all the molding and chair rails have been restored and reconnected to the walls. Unusual beadboard lines each of the rooms, either in a variety of original wood tones or refurbished to showcase original paint colors. Two bedrooms were created, each with a private bathroom, along with an open kitchen and dining room. The

living room is spacious and adorned with a huge chandelier, bringing a whimsical tropical look to the casual and warm room. The front entrance – original to the house – has a small peek-a-boo door, reminiscent of the Prohibition days when speakeasy doormen verified visitors before admitting them to these illicit establishments that sold alcohol. No secret password is needed at this house. The oak floors, which also are original, have been refinished and are their natural wood color. All modern amenities have been added to the house, along with a back deck and garden that runs alongside the home. “I think these walls, even with the scars and scrapes, add so much character to the house. It is timeless and durable and certainly rather different,” says Carlos Antonio Rios [Canetti’s husband, who partnered with her in the restoration this past year]. “The walls are the first thing people see when they come in and everyone comments on how unusual they are. I’m glad we were able to reclaim these walls and keep the architectural integrity of the house intact.”

Story and photoS by JoShua Kornegay, owner of JoShua’S native plantS & garden antiqueS
The hummingbirds won’t be able to resist Montrose Purple vitex.
SIZE MATTERS When Your Yard is Small, Every Square Inch Counts
N
ew construction trends seem to call for building a huge house with a tiny yard. Since winter is the best time for tree planting, let’s discuss a few popular species that will work for the smaller spaces. A rather newly discovered native variety is the sweetgum, a cool season perennial from the Witch-hazel family. The Slender Silhouette sweetgum can reach up to 50 feet in height but only grows to six feet in width. Like a living tower it offers dependable autumn colors of gold, orange, coral and red, and its size makes it perfect for a three story house with a postage stamp yard. The Ebony Flame or Ebony and Ivory crape myrtles only grow to ten feet in height and are resistant to disease and pests. During the summer they feature dramatic red or white bloom clusters with nearly black leaves, making them a real show stopper for hedges, groupings or even containers. 58 house& home | January 2020 | www.houstonhouseandhome.net
Aloysia virgata, also known as Sweet Almond Verbena, usually gets to 15 feet in height with a rounded crown that can be pruned and shaped without doing any damage. Its almost constant white spikes of extremely fragrant blooms will attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Montrose Purple vitex is another nectar-rich bloomer. They are a local favorite with ten inch purple spikes that last from spring all the way through summer. They tend to be heat and drought tolerant and can be pruned and cut back hard to suit your specific needs and land lot size. If yellow is your favorite color, the showy Cassia splendida is for you! Covered in blooms from Halloween to Christmas, this evergreen will not disappoint. It naturally reaches 15 feet in height and has a rather low and broad crown. Just cut, prune, train and shape to fit your space.
Turn to Sweet Almond Verbena for fragrant blooms.
Aloysia virgata will attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
All of these smaller trees require minimal maintenance, or none at all, and thrive here in the humid south where poor soils are common. Remember, “Work less, enjoy more!” Joshua’s Native Plants & Garden Antiques, Inc. can be found at 502 West 18th, 713-862-7444, joshuasnativeplants.net.
