Note from Jill
See pg. 45 on designer’s profile
Welcome to the premiere issue of Vero Home, Life and Design magazine! This project has been a labor of love for me and I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed creating it. With that said, I would like to take just a moment to thank all of the wonderful and talented people on my team who have supported me in pulling this together. I could not have done it without their love and support and I am eternally grateful for each and every one of them. Our fabulous and gracious participants blew me away, one after the next, with their willingness, not only to share part of their lives, but in the extraordinary effort they put into answering all our crazy questions. Again, I want to thank everyone. My ultimate hope is that through this venture we can create a greater sense of community by simply getting to know one another better. Please enjoy.

Downtown Darling What is your favorite item in the store right now? I am obsessing over these lucite antlers we have in the store right now. They are hanging on a wall near my desk and every time I look at them, I feel giddy.
What services do you offer? We have become a full service design center. We do everything from adding lamps to a room to doing a whole house. We have an awesome team of creative designers, stylists and customer service staff to really make any dream of a client’s a possibility.
What are some of your most popular items? Lamps have always been our best seller. We really scour the markets for unusual lamps. We also have amazing prints, pillows and upholstered pieces. We just got in these indoor/outdoor rugs in bright fun colors that have been getting a lot of attention.
How has your downtown location changed recently? When I first moved my shop to the downtown area it was literally just me and over the past 12 years, seriously talented artist and galleries have called this area home as well as some really fantastic restaurants. Antique shops have popped up (it is called the antique district, after all) and there are new and exciting restaurants opening up for the upcoming season (McGarvey’s Pub is right next door and Patisserie is across the street). Downtown is growing into what a downtown should feel like. Interesting and unusual with a major splash of creativity. Such a great blend and I couldn’t be more excited to be in the middle of it all.

What is your favorite part of being a store owner? My favorite part is getting to know my clients and seeing them again, season after season. I love attending markets and knowing what my clients like and bringing it into the store and calling them to say, “I think this would be great in your home and then they come in and love it”. It’s a win win!! Another favorite is when we get in shipments. Sometimes you order merchandise and it doesn’t come in for weeks and sometimes months, so it is always exciting to unbox merchandise and love it as much as you did when you ordered it at market.
Would you rather be young and rich or old and wise? I would rather be young and rich with an old wise soul... does that answer your question?
Best advise you’ve ever gotten!? Love what you do because then it will never seem like a day of work but a hobby.
When I wake up... I can’t wait to have my first cup of coffee that I make with my french press coffee maker. It’s my morning ritual.
If I weren’t doing what I’m doing today... I would be a fashion designer, living in Santa Monica, California.
The soundtrack of my life is... Flashdance. For more Q&A with Deb Daly visit www.VeroHomeLifeAndDesgin.com

Training is all about my friends, that is what keeps it interesting and unique enough to otherwise be doing the same things over and over again. 3. The one thing I simply cannot train without is doughnuts. 4. Exercise is the best therapy and gives you an injection of energy and confidence that no drug can duplicate. Tests have shown that exercise increases mental functioning. On top of that, the relationships I have built cross over into work so I have built a significant client base with the people I have met out on the road. 5.

How long have you lived and been in business in Vero? I have lived in Vero for five years. I have been in business here for two, with Havana Club Cigar, a boutique cigar shop that caters to everyone who wants to come in and enjoy a hand rolled or brand cigar. Cork has been under my management since February.
What brought you here? Six-times Grammy Award Winner, Gloria Estefan and her husband Emilio, introduced me to Vero Beach. They hired me to be their Executive Chef to open Costa d’Este Beach Resort. I was there for two and a half years until I decided to go out on my own.
Are you involved with any charities? I am very involved with many charities here in town, such as “Chef Chair” for the March of Dimes, “Walk a Mile in Her Shoes” for Safe Space of Treasure Coast, and Hibiscus to mention just a few. I really enjoy giving back to the community, especially for kids who are less fortunate because they are our future.
What is your favorite meal? My favorite meal is anything that I do not have to make myself!
Do you cook at home?

How long have you lived in Vero? What brought you here? In March of this year - after almost 30 years with my company including six moves/six states and a lot of travel, I decided to retire to my “forever home” and plant roots in a community near the ocean and close to some very dear friends - and start “Chapter 2” of my life. For the previous three years I lived in Nashville - close enough for frequent visits here to Vero where I grew to love the area.
Are you involved with any charities or volunteering you would like to tell us about? I love dogs and am passionate about the cause of adoption. I remain on the Board of Directors of the Pedigree Foundation - which is all about supporting shelters and rescue organizations - and have started to get involved with the Humane Society of Vero Beach/Indian River County; I will Co-Chair this upcoming seasons’ Cause for Paws event.
When do you think you first fell in love with purple? I remember as a little girl ogling over my Aunt Virginia’s “fancy” living room which had purple chairs, and a big purple wooden flower in my Aunt Eleanor’s house. My own personal obsession began when I relocated to Las Vegas back in 1994 - I bought a dining room set with purple upholstered chairs which had to be special-ordered, and decorated the living room with accent pieces in shades of purple. Most people thought I was nuts. Ironically today the color is very popular.
What is the most unique purple item in your house? First thing that pops to mind is my funky purple toaster - but I also love the purplebeaded chandelier in the dining room, and the lavendar shag rug in the entrance way - a throwback to childhood when shag rugs were the thing.
What is the age of your home? It was originally built in 1996.
How extensive was the renovation? The original plan was kitchen and bathrooms only - but after consulting with George about a few other ideas to make the house “my own” - the renovation turned out to be substantial.
How painful or joyful was the renovation process? Would you do it again? What was the most difficult thing for you to decide on with regard to the home? The work started several months before I decided to retire, so the biggest challenge was doing this remotely while trying to get here as much as possible while the work was progressing. I completely underestimated the magnitude of the work and all the details/decisions that had to be made. George and his guys and the sub-contractors were great - and thank goodness for modern technology and having close friends who live nearby.
What is your favorite room in the house? That’s a tough one - there are things I love about every room - but I would say my favorites are the kitchen and family room - where I spend most of my time.

How was the process of working with your designer?
this page: Custom designed and
Not having worked with a designer before, I had no pre-conceived expectations. Working with Jill has been a pleasure - we bonded right away through our common love of dogs, and she immediately “got” what I was envisioning when I showed up with a binder full of ideas I had pulled from magazines over the years. She never blinked about my preference for the challenging color palette preference - and she was able to translate my vision into reality - my home has the feel that I visioned - but the look is very unique.
end of the Family Room houses an
built millwork cabinetry at the assortment of nautical accessories, the TV and a fireplace. Opposite: The view from the Living Room to the Kitchen is framed by a new arch.
Is your home what you envisioned when you started the process? Is there anything you would change? This home is truly my dream home - it has exceeded all my expectations and I look forward to enjoying it with friends and family for years to come.
Would you rather be young and rich or old and wise? Old and wise - hands-down - there is nothing like life lessons.
Most fascinating place I’ve visited? Was in Paris a couple of years ago and absolutely loved it, a bicycle trip through Tuscany over 16 years ago still ranks as a highlight, and played a couple of sensational golf courses in Hawaii many years ago. Most fascinating, however - Colonial Williamsburg.
Best advise you’ve ever gotten!? Stay true to your values - and follow your passions - it’s never too late.
If I weren’t doing what I’m doing today... I would still be working - and missing out on all this fun.
Happiness is... Family and friends, dachshunds, a great bottle of wine, and a good round of golf with friends.

About your book Kills 99.9%? My book is based on my experiences in both Florida and New York. I reflected upon and drew a lot from my teenage and young adult years growing up in New York. Much of my inspiration for the characters comes from personal experience, as well. I extrapolated from stories my nephew in New York has shared. He is part of the NYPD, and the police office in Kills 99.9% reflects some of his experiences.
If you weren’t doing what you are doing today... I would be in South America or The Galapagos Islands exploring marine life. Because I lecture on marine organisms that cause skin conditions, I would love to discover new sea creatures and further research them.
What is the perfect day for you?

Spending time in Italy with my family on the Amalfi Coast with my wife and children and parents would be a dream. I would love to spend some time in visiting a church in Naples to which my family is very dedicated. I have never been, but there are some fascinating miracles associated with my grandmother and the church.

1. The clothing is designed by me and my mom, Lori Long, designs the jewelry. For each collection we collaborate on colors and necklines of new designs. 2. Inspiration comes from the natural beauty of the Islands, the smooth motions of a hula dancer, the feeling of wearing a sundress on a warm breezy day and of course, the relaxed feel of the beach lifestyle. 3. I learned how to sew when I attended college at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. 4. The line was introduced last winter. I had such an amazing response to the line that I decided to carry the designs all year long. 5. The most important aspect for me with regard to fabric is quality and ease of care.

Where did the name Victoria William come from? The name “Victoria William” is a combination of family names. “Victoria” is my daughter and wife’s middle name. “William” is my middle name, as well as my son’s middle name.
Where do you get the materials for you work? The materials are gathered from the woods and waters of America. In some instances, the materials are given to me from family homesteads and then transformed into treasured family heirlooms.
Victoria William
Where does the inspiration for the work come?
by
From my love of nature, history and family, I am fortunate that I am able to visualize and see the possibility in common reclaimed materials. I enjoy creating memorable, meaningful furniture and home décor items that quickly become conversation pieces.
Charlie Sembler
What is the price ranges for items? Prices vary based upon the materials used, the complexity of the design and whether they have been custom crafted specifically for a customer. Our prices range from $100 to $15,000.
Where can people see more of your work? Visit our showroom in “Vero Antique Market” located in the downtown antique district. Or go to our website www.VictoriaWilliam.com
Would you rather be young and rich or old and wise? I would rather be old and wise.
Most fascinating place I’ve visited? Arlington National Cemetery.
Best advice you’ve ever gotten? The best piece of advice I received was from James Harold Thompson. He was a former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. He advised me to help others anytime I had the chance. I have never forgotten his words and I try to pay it forward every day.
If I weren’t doing what I’m doing today I would be commercial fishing in Alaska.

What are some tips you would offer to someone selecting flooring?
When renovating or building, start with your floor, this is the canvas that you build on. Start with a vision folder, a picture speaks a thousand words. Often when a client comes in the showroom they can be overwhelmed by all the options, when I review pictures, it helps me create their original concept.
What are the more popular selections today and how have they changed in recent years? Solid sand and finish wood, wide planks, Oil (Green/Eco Friendly) Finishes. In years past narrow planks, tumbled and chiseled edge and travertine were hot. Now we are seeing many shades of grays and whites, clean lines, square edge, back to the simple classic Calcutta or Carrara marble and limestone’s.
What is the “hot” trend in flooring?
Wood plank tiles, floor patterns like herringbone, basket weave and stacked brick. Glass mosaics and rectangle floor sizes are very popular as well.
Would you rather be young and rich or old and wise? To be 20 again? No thanks! At 40, I have finally grown into this skin. Wisdom has taught me to trust my intuition and honor myself, which has given me opportunities and wealth that money can’t buy.
Most popular Countertop surface? Granite remains the choice of most homeowners for kitchen countertops, but the man-made quartz products such as Cambria®, Caesarstone®, and Silestone® are growing in popularity.
Tips for those looking to upgrade kitchens? First, understand how you want to use your kitchen. Then do your research. Look at magazines, and visit as many kitchens as you can to understand what’s important to you from a functional and a visual aspect. Next, get help. A good designer, and contractor can help you understand how to best utilize your space, and give you ideas on how to get what you want out of a kitchen. They will get you in touch with quality sub contractors for cabinets and countertops.
My team prides itself on doing difficult and challenging work. Not that a standard edge on a simple piece is not important, my stone craftsmen treat every piece as if they were making it for their own family, but tasks that challenge their skills are more rewarding to them.
How long does fabrication and installation take? From start to finish a project is usually completed within a week. Communication is the key. If we can schedule the work, we can minimize the inconvenience to our customers of living without countertops to only a few days.
The soundtrack of my life is... Girl On Fire, Alicia Keys
Happiness is...
Granite maintenance?
Surrender, acceptance of thy self.
For more Q&A with Amy Flickinger visit www.VeroHomeLifeAndDesgin.com
If your tops have been sealed correctly, today’s sealers eliminate the need for resealing. We have a sealing system that will give a new, or even existing, granite installation a fifteen year warranty. Ongoing maintenance is minimal. Use a neutral cleaner (not acidic, or basic) on a regular basis to clean and bring back the shine. Degreasing can be done with a cleaner like 409®, or even isopropyl alcohol.
Best advice? “Eat the elephant one bite at a time.” Translation: No matter how large or complicated a problem or opportunity may seem on the surface, if you carve it into little bits, you can tackle it, solve it, and succeed.

Trends in Kitchens? Kitchens to me are the heart beat of the home. Kitchens are very personal and vary quite a bit.
When do your clients usually start to work with you? Before they have a plan or once they have one? Most of my custom clients come to us to design and build their residences. Quite often if there is a plan, I hear- we have this plan but don’t really like it, can you work with it and make it special?

Most fascinating place I’ve visited? Hard question! I’ve been blessed to have traveled quite a bit. I have to say fly fishing for big rainbow trout with my 12 year old son in the Tal-river in Alaska always comes to mind.
