I’ll always use certain pieces that I love and that mean something to me. That’s a really important factor. When you go into a pretty home where everything is just purchased straight from the showroom, it looks nice but it really doesn’t have that personal touch.”

Editor’s Note
A
As much as I love to add pins to my “Favorite Places & Spaces” board on Pinterest, I know I’m just not gifted enough to tackle interior design myself. I love how easy Pinterest makes it for us to find inspiration, and for me, to try to find a personal style to use in my own house. Sadly, I don’t get very much beyond pinning pictures while sitting on my couch. That, thankfully for us, is not the case for Betsy Norvell, a design consultant with Pottery
Barn. In this issue, we were able to feature her new townhome in Davidson, where she and her husband moved after downsizing. Betsy was able to find balance in new items and old favorites to create an original look and style. The good news for the rest of us is she’s readily available for consultations through Pottery Barn to help make our homes Pinterest-worthy. And some people just don’t need help defining their style. We highlight two such women in our feature on bachelorette pads. Both women have stylish tastes that shine through their homes. Our March Home and Garden issue is consistently one of my favorites.

Expert Advice
Set the Stage
G
by JENN BAXTER
Getting ready to put your home on the market? Already have it listed but wonder why you haven’t been getting more interested buyers? Lake Norman resident and Accredited Staging Professional Master® Temprance Wilkinson told us how staging your home can not only help you attract more buyers, but can help you make the sale more quickly.
What does “staging” a home involve and why is it important for people who are trying to sell their home? Not only is staging about reminding a homeowner to keep their home clutter-free while on the market, but also taking that extra step to stage it makes such a big difference in the price and value to most buyers. Some properties may also need a little TLC from normal day-to-day living. Homeowners tend to overlook items that a stager is able to notice and make recommendations on. Also, homeowners tend to not notice the amount of clutter accumulating. Clutter does not equal warmth or feel inviting. An Accredited Staging Professional will be able to recommend editing throughout the home, not just organizing. Staging allows us to showcase and create a feel for the mass market of buyers viewing the property.
How can it be used to highlight a house’s strengths and downplay its weaknesses?
Staging can do that simply based on the placement of items, allowing adequate lighting, and making each room reflect the features and character of the home.
Is it better to have more furniture or less when showing it? Potential buyers often have a hard time seeing the home due to the amount of stuff in it. On the other hand, vacant and bare can feel cold and not cozy at all. Furniture placement is very important as to keep the focus on the features of the home—such as
24
lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2016
windows, trim, fireplaces, and tall ceilings. Furnishings also help a potential buyer imagine and visualize where and if their life can carry on in the new home, room by room. With purposeful placement you can create that vision for them.
Are colors important? Colors help create a mood and feeling in each room. We want nine out of 10 of the potential buyers to feel relaxed and calm while viewing the home.
What about lighting? Window lighting is always the best bet, from what I have experienced. Opening shades, blinds, and curtains can make such a difference in showing the home.
What are some quick and inexpensive fixes someone can make if they don’t have a lot of money to spruce up their home? De-clutter, edit, and organize. I recommend that my clients try to minimize their personal belongings now, as they will eventually have to pack them up and move them
with the sale of the home. Packing them up early also provides a little more privacy for them.
What is the most important thing for someone to remember when staging their home? The return on staging investment is the No. 1 reason to consider consulting with a professional and having them assist with getting your house ready for the ever-changing market. Return on staging investment shows you how you will actually save more money by staging versus not staging. The longer your home remains for sale on the market, the less you will gain from the sale. And a professional wants to see your house sell as quickly as you do.

Recipe
Traditional Fare by JENNY BRULE
T
This is classic Irish peasant fare. It couldn’t be more delicious or economical. There’s something about mashed potatoes mixed with sautéed cabbage and creamy butter that hits all the comfort notes in our palates. Great as a vegetarian dish or alongside slowly braised beef on St. Patrick’s Day.
Colcannon 2 ½ pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks 1 stick butter ½ small head white cabbage, sliced very thin ½-3/4 cup milk ¼-1/2 cup chopped green onions or chives More butter to serve Pile the potato chunks into a large soup pot and cover with two inches with warm (not hot) water. Salt the water liberally, and bring to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes until potato chunks are tender. Drain and set aside. Cover the potatoes with a clean dishcloth to keep warm. Place the butter into the pot that the potatoes were cooked in and set over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and frothing, add in cabbage and sauté until soft, about five to 10 minutes. Add the milk in and cook just to warm (for a minute or two) then add potatoes into the pot and mash with a potato masher. Stir in the green onions or chives, season with salt to taste, and serve with more butter.

Q&A
Farm Fresh by ALLISON ANDREWS
A
Abby Wyatt likes to stay busy. That’s why she’s excited about her new role as the market manager of the Davidson Farmer’s Market. “It’s not only planning the market every week, but being involved with the farmers,” she says. “We have so many great farms around here. I’m excited to learn more about what they do and develop the relationship with them.” Wyatt, who also works part time as a server at Kindred, was a stay-at-home mom for six years. “In the process, I just really kind of started to get much more involved with food and what we’re eating and where it comes from,” she says. What do you think has contributed to the market’s success? It has such a sense of community. You just feel good when you are there. I think Courtney Spear (former market manager) had a lot to do with that by creating the chef demos and making it more of an event. I want to build on that and make it an event for people. It’s just fun. And you run into people that you know and you see the local chefs out there. What do you think the market is missing? I’m still trying to figure that out. I like

hear people asking things like “What’s the difference between a GMO seed and a hybrid?” So I think adding some ways for people to learn would be good. For me, it’s important to take this first year and make sure all the vendors are happy and comfortable with me before anything starts moving in another direction. I don’t want to do anything that would hinder the farmers.
everything that is there. Maybe expand the time so people can hang out there longer and shop on Main Street and come to the market. But right now, I’m still trying to learn all there is to it before I decide what else it needs. I like the fact it’s a produceronly market. It keeps it smaller, which is nice. What type of events do you think would make it more of a place to hang out? Davidson Land Conservancy has their “WOW” (World of Wonder) tent. I’d like to build on that and have a little more of an educational area for kids and adults. You
Town leaders have identified finding a permanent home for the Farmer’s Market as one of the town’s needs. What would you like to see in a new location? Green space, of course. We could use a little more open space. It does get a little bit crowded. There are lots of benches and picnic tables for people to sit on and the little playground for kids. I like those aspects. But it’s almost a Z shape right now, and I think it would be nice to have a centralized location where people could be. The market is still operating on limited weekends during March. There will be two market days, March 12 and March 16. The Market will kick-off its regular season, weekly run on Saturday, April 2. Chef Joe Kindred from Kindred Restaurant will be on hand to do the chef demo that day.

38th-Annual New Year’s Day Barefoot Tournament
73-year-old Fred Steinbaum had the second longest run of the day.
Calm wind, mild temperatures, and an enthusiastic crowd helped 30 contestants give impressive performances at the 38th-annual Lake Norman New Year’s Day Barefoot Tournament held at Lake Norman Marina in Sherrills Ford. Contestants, from age 9 to 75, challenged the grueling circle course, scoring points by the degree of difficulty of their start, tricks, and one point per second they stayed on their bare feet. The wake produced by the towboat’s circle pattern creates rough water conditions, adding to the difficulty. It is one of the longest running and unique barefoot skiing tournaments in the world. Participants also say it is one of the most fun. The tournament partnered with Samaritan’s Feet, a nonprofit that provides shoes to the millions of people without shoes who are infected with foot-born diseases as a result. Lake Norman Marina and the new Lake Norman Boat Club pledged to donate 10 cents per point scored by contestants to Samaritan’s Feet. Including other donations, almost $700 was raised for the cause.

Boutique Style
Kathy Helou, 62, likes to call her Peninsula-area home her “happy place.” One step inside her 4,000-square-foot, three-bedroom home and it’s easy to see why. An open floor plan embraces visitors in Helou’s relaxed parlor and living room. Guests are greeted by elegant décor, cool and comfortable cream, gold, and muted earth tones, comfy couches, exposed beams, custom fixtures, and smart accent pieces—most are keepsake reminders of her travels across the globe. Venture into her vast kitchen, and you’ll find the heart of Helou’s home. Here the elite executive sales director with Mary Kay Inc. is as much at home baking her signature banana bread as she is pouring over her latest sales figures. “I don’t have a formal office in my home,” says Helou, who is never far from her phone or laptop. “I’ll sit here in the kitchen with my laptop or in my outside living room, listening to the birds and enjoying the breeze.” LuLu and Sissy, half-sister miniature poodles, trot alongside Helou, vying for her attention as she moves about. Helou’s home is immediately welcoming to guests and captures the essence of her warm, intimate, and hospitable style. Conversation nooks are everywhere from the front porch to the kitchen to out back on the deck where Helou has augmented the space with stained glass windows she rescued from Mary Manse College in Ohio before they were abandoned. Her country-casual lifestyle finds her often entertaining friends and family. Her children and grandchildren are frequent guests, and Helou loves nothing more than to cook for them (and then cook some more). The airy kitchen encourages conversation and there’s plenty of space for the chef and several helpers. A two-story foyer brings light into the house, and the string of windows ringing her loft upstairs gives view to a forest of surrounding pine trees. “I feel like I’m in a boutique hotel on vacation,” says Helou. “My spirit just soars here.”

Christy Davis’ home in The Greens at Birkdale Village was the perfect choice for her when she moved in five years ago. “I can walk to restaurants, shopping, and the movies,” says Davis, 45, a financial controller for an area marketing firm. “Yet there is plenty of nature and green space with mature trees in my neighborhood to enjoy.” Davis doesn’t have to go further than her own oversized backyard to take advantage of nature and privacy. There the shade of a giant willow tree allows her to laze away Saturday afternoons with her friends and miniature schnauzer, Molly. Davis’ friends joke that she has completely “Christy-fied” her 1,400-squarefoot, three-bedroom home, making it sing with her signature style. “I call it my little jewel box,” Davis says, adding that she is a bit of a girlygirl and enjoys some glam in her décor. “I have a dedicated makeup table in my master suite and a huge walk-in closet.” It’s Davis’ classy-yet-casually-chic main living space, however, that is entertainment central for her. Her home is conveniently located for many of her friends who gravitate there for pre- and post-nearby social activities. “I’d call my style modern transitional,” says Davis, who exhibits flair with accent pieces such as an oversized mirror, picture frames that glimmer with glitter, and candles adding illumination to her open, airy floor plan. She painted the downstairs taupe, installed granite countertops and tile backsplashes in the kitchen, put in hardwood flooring, and added new lighting. “My favorite space is the kitchen. I love to cook and have friends over,” she says. “The fireplace island with the TV on a swivel is open to both the living room and the kitchen. It’s a great feature.” LNM

Downsizing in Davidson A Pottery Barn design specialist tackles a personal project. by LAUREN BLAKE • photos by ZAIRE KACZ
N
Neal and Betsy Norvell love the quaint, quiet town of Davidson. It’s where they planted roots 14 years ago and raised their now 17-year-old son, Sam. Like most couples, the Norvells knew they would eventually downsize once Sam left home and intended to do so in the next few years. But as fate would have it, an opportunity presented itself last summer, allowing the family to sell their home and buy a townhome down the street. Though they lost some square footage and furniture during the move, there was one thing they didn’t have to part with: their beloved old neighborhood. For Betsy, a design studio specialist for Pottery Barn and lover of all things interior design, downsizing was just another project—only this time, it was all her own. Since June 2015, Betsy has accomplished quite a bit. Aside from giving up a lot of old furniture and purchasing new pieces to fit the smaller space, she immediately got to work remodeling. First was the kitchen renovation, which included trading out the backsplash for subway tile, updating the cabinets with a fresh coat of paint, and replacing the countertops with a crisp, more modern option. She also updated the home’s floors, replacing the tile with floating hardwood. The living room and dining room are completely finished—gleaming with gorgeous light fixtures and elegantly placed furniture as well as small details like perfectly curated bookshelves, a Pinterest-worthy gallery wall, and colorful pillows and accent pieces.

Betsy Norvel had to give up a lot of old furniture and purchase new pieces to fit in the smaller space of her Davidson townhome.
First was the kitchen renovation, which included trading out the backsplash for subway tile, updating the cabinets with a fresh coat of paint, and replacing the countertops with a crisp, more modern option.
patio looks like a page taken from a Pottery Barn catalog, with every detail—from the table, chairs, and umbrella to the charger plates and napkins—available in store. Though Sam had to leave his childhood room behind during the move, he got out okay—taking over the townhome’s private casita (a small, attached but self-contained house or apartment) above the garage. An avid music fan and adventurist, his new digs speak to his personality—with Rolling Stones’ vinyl covers framed above his bed and a colorful snowboard hanging over his door’s entrance. Betsy and Sam worked on the room together, creating a bold accent wall in the bedroom using adhesive strips of reclaimed wood from West Elm. The result: a rustic yet refined hangout that Sam may never want to leave. As far as Betsy’s design aesthetic, she describes her approach as a collected, layered look. “I like a few antiques and family pieces thrown into the mix. I have certain things that will always be in my home, such as a portrait of an ancestor, an antique chest, and art I’ve collected traveling. I think your

home tells the story of your life,” she says. Along with the old, she also brought in the new with bright pillows, freshly upholstered furniture, drapes, dining furniture, and accessories. Betsy says working as a design studio specialist has allowed her to find her personal style and put a name on it. Although she’s always had an eye for design, working for Pottery Barn has given her the opportunity to discover what it is that makes a home not only pretty, but also personal. “I’ll always use certain pieces that I love and that mean something to me,” she says. “That’s a really important factor. When you go into a pretty home where everything is just purchased straight from the showroom, it looks

nice but it really doesn’t have that personal touch.” Betsy says she’s by no means finished with the renovation and there’s still a lot to be done (someone with an eye for design can always find something or another to tweak). Next, she plans to have built-in bookshelves put in around a set of French doors and will also tackle the master bedroom and bathroom. Her best advice for others who are downsizing? “Really think about what you’re going to move, and try to get rid of things beforehand instead of bringing them with you,” she says. “Really clean house and think about what you have. If it brings you joy, keep it; if it doesn’t, get rid of it.” LNM

Chris and Christina Phillips
To say that the Harp and Crown is an authentic pub would be an understatement. “We’re the real McCoy,” Christina Phillips boasts, and she’s not exaggerating. Christina, 52, and her husband, Chris Phillips, 50, opened the Cornelius pub in December of last year after owning Restaurant X in Davidson for the past eight years. They sold it in 2014. What makes Harp and Crown’s authenticity so noteworthy is that Christina is Irish and Chris is British—and they’ve both spent their fair share of time in pubs. “When I was growing up in Ireland I didn’t drink, but I still went to the pub every weekend for a Coke and something to eat. Pubs are a social thing back home,” Christina says. The couple has effectively evoked this homey, family friendly atmosphere at Harp and Crown. Shelves display Irish pottery and poetry books, while two antique English doors delineate the entry from the dining room. Chris even made the pub tables himself. Inside seats 83 diners, plus there’s room at the large, wooden bar. Outdoor on the patio there is space for about 120 more people with an additional bar. Speaking of bars—Harp and Crown’s is well stocked. “We’ve got the best Guinness draft in all of Lake Norman!” Chris says. They’ve got a selection of 12 rotating British, Irish, and locally brewed ales and ciders on tap (pints are $4.75, 20-oz, $5.75). Plus about two dozen bottled beers ($3.75-$5.75), an impressive wine selection, and handcrafted cocktails. But fine Irish and British drinks are only

part of what makes Harp and Crown worth a visit. It differs from traditional, old-world pubs in that it also serves really good food. The Phillips are reluctant to call their place a “gastro-pub” for fear of sounding snooty, but they do admit that they are combining old-world charm with well thought out and executed food. Chris is executive chef at Harp and Crown (as he was at Restaurant X). The menu is a nice balance between traditional Irish and English fare (the Guinness Braised Beef Brisket is to die for, $17, and at $12, the Irish Bangers and Mash are a delicious steal) and modern dishes. The menu includes healthy on-trend dishes (salads like the Blackened Salmon, $13, or the Garden Quinoa, $12, are popular), fusion (Irish Spring Rolls appetizers—crisp spring rolls stuffed with corned beef and cabbage for $8 or, the main course, roasted Wedge of Cauliflower served with Boursin cream and English garden peas for $11) plenty of burger choices (The Royal has Gruyere, Guinness braised onions and mushrooms $11 or, the astounding Grate, an eight-ounce Angus burger, served with deep fried bacon and in-between two grilled cheese sandwiches, also $11—all burgers served with house-made ‘chips’: that’s ‘fries’ to you and me) and four solid pasta offerings (Shrimp a la Vodka or Pasta Primavera to name a few, ranging in price from $12 to $15). Then, of course, there are the desserts: Classic Irish and British sweets like Benoffee Pie (bananas, cream, and toffee snuggled into a sweet biscuit crust), Sticky Toffee Pudding (not an American pudding, rather a steamed sponge cake made with dates and topped with toffee sauce), Chocolate Brownie Mousse Cake (no explanation needed) and Dessert Pancakes (stuffed with vanilla ice cream and topped with pecan salted caramel sauce)—all for $5. There are good vegetarian options and even gluten-free foods. Harp and Crown will have a special St Patrick’s Day event starting March 17 and continuing throughout the weekend. Bag pipers, Irish dancers, and fiddlers will be on hand, along with some of the most authentic Irish food and drink you can find in Lake Norman. www.TheHarpAndCrown.com LNM

Warm Welcome Guests find home away from home at The Cedars Davidson. by ANN GIBSON • photos by LUNAHZON PHOTOGRAPHY
T
The scent of fresh-brewed coffee and blueberry pancakes wafts through the inn just after sunrise. Innkeeper and Chef Sue Bartlett is up by 5 a.m. to prepare a made-to-order breakfast for guests at the Cedars Davidson Bed & Breakfast. Sue will finish cooking and be out the door by 9 a.m., tag-teaming inn duties with her husband, Tom Watson. By day, Sue trades her chef coat for scrubs to work at Carolinas Medical Center Behavioral Health Davidson. In her absence, Tom serves and clears breakfast, tends to guests’ needs, manages the housekeeping, then turns his attention to accounting, marketing, and other administrative duties. Their teamwork and dedication has quickly carved their niche in the downtown Davidson landscape. “Try to imagine being required to have your own home picture perfect seven days a week, 365 days a year…Quite a few of you just gave up your dream of being an innkeeper, I’ll bet,” says Sue. “Of course, there is the great joy that comes from interacting with so many different guests from all over the world. We never get tired of hearing about their journeys and the opportunity to be even a small part of their lives.” Taking on new challenges is nothing new for this couple. A Yale-educated attorney, Tom retired from law to study landscape design and become a master gardener. In addition to her fulltime career in nursing, Sue earned a culinary arts degree from Johnson & Wales, catering weddings and special events while offering cooking classes to small groups. Sue was first introduced to Davidson in 2014 when she met a friend for dinner at Flatiron. She recalls thinking, “Such a sweet little town. I bet there’s lots of bed and breakfasts here.” Her research proved otherwise. The Cedars, set back from Concord Road behind an expansive lawn and huge oak trees, was the first and only property they visited. Sue says, “We walked in and said, ‘It’s perfect.’” They quickly began renovations and opened within months. The couple’s landscaping and culinary skills, along with a passion for their newly-adopted home town, have filled guest rooms beyond their most ambitious expectations. The bulk of their guests come to visit Davidson College, but they’ve also hosted snowbirds stopping overnight on their way to Florida, local residents on weekend staycations, and business travelers seeking an alternative to hotels. They frequently serve as overflow for surrounding neighborhoods when friends and family come to visit. “We allow our guests the freedom to feel this is their house, and they can come and go as they please,” says Sue. “We want them to feel as much at home here as they are in their own home.” Tom and Sue’s genuine warmth and desire to care for their

guests is evident as soon as a car pulls into the driveway. Tom leaps into action, greeting new arrivals at the door and tending to the financial logistics of check-in. Sue is right beside him to make sure accommodations are satisfactory and guests know where to find everything, from the freshly-baked snickerdoodles to morning coffee and board games in the study. Always in sync with each other, Sue offers wine and Tom appears on cue, glasses of Prosecco in hand. The Watsons are well aware of their symbiotic relationship. “I am the worst business person in the world,” says Sue. “I’m very organized in the kitchen, but outside the kitchen, I never think things out. Tom, on the other hand, figured out how we were to set things up for the inn. I picked the colors for the house; he got the business up and running. Tom’s the thinker, I’m the feeler. He’s the worrier, and I’m the optimist.” Their divergent perspectives merge when it comes to inviting guests into their home. “We like to give people what they want. We both love that moment when a guest says ‘Ah!’ as we serve them breakfast. It’s very gratifying,” says Sue. “It’s been a pleasure. The house feels empty without guests and complete when guests are here. It just feels right.” www.cedarsdavidson.com LNM MARCH 2016 lakenormanmagazine.com

Elegant Estate When traveling to Asheville, don’t just visit The Biltmore—stay there.
O
One of the most iconic sights in Asheville is the esteemed Biltmore Estate. The grounds stretch for 4,000 acres on each side of the French Broad River. The 250-room home is the equivalent size of four football fields and is one of the most-visited attractions in the country. Aside from the main home, there’s plenty to explore on the grounds, including hiking trails, gardens, farms, and off-roading courses. With so many options for entertainment, the Biltmore Estate is a great location for a getaway. Instead of spending just one day there on your way through Asheville, make the Biltmore your home base. In addition to The Inn on Biltmore Estate, in December 2015, a new hotel opened on the property. The Village Hotel is situated in Antler Village, a destination for shops, restaurants, and the Biltmore Winery. The 209-room hotel is a more social and casual setting, with the cozy feeling of being at home. Hallways and common areas are outfitted with rustic pieces reminiscent of the farm houses and cottages that

dotted the original estate. The lobby is set up like a living room, with a seating area and bookshelves, and a café called The Kitchen, complete with tic-tac-toe on the blue and white tables. Throughout the halls guests find historic black and white images from the early days of the estate—some blown up to cover the length of a wall. The second floor includes on-site restaurant The Village Social, which specializes in small plates and seafood, Biltmore wines, craft beer, and signature cocktails. Adjacent to the open restaurant is another seating area decked out in plush leather and dark wood, complete
with board games. The cozy feeling continues in the guest rooms. Bathrooms are sectioned off with sliding barn doors, and each room has a window bench seat. The winery, the most-visited winery in the country, is just steps away from the ground level-patio. This space, like many on the property, has been restored from its original use. Previously a dairy barn, visitors can still explore the stone-lined tunnels beneath the renovated, modern winery. Choose from the complimentary tasting of several of the estate’s wines, or select a specialty tour ranging from red wine and chocolate to bubbles.

While there’s no need to leave the estate to enjoy a trip, there’s plenty to do within a 15-minute drive of the front gate. For Southern fare, head to Buxton Hall in Asheville’s South Slope, the unofficial craft beer district of the city. Buxton Hall specializes in whole-hog barbecue prepared by James Beard-nominated chefs Elliott Moss and Meherwan Irani. With a mix of traditional dishes like collards and barbecue chicken, also expect some twists like the Salad Bar Salad, a mix of greens, barbecue, pasta salad, and local cheeses. While in the area, head to one of Asheville’s newest brewery additions, Bhramari Brewhouse. The new establishment boasts 25 taps, a beer school, and the perfect deck for warm weather. Another eatery worth the trip is Smoky Park Supper Club, the largest shipping-containerconstructed restaurant in the U.S. With sweeping views of the French Broad River, this restaurant changes its menu to reflect the availability of local resources. Expect a mix of tapas-style small plates, plus entrée portions, a selection of fresh sides, and local meats prepared over a wood-fired grill. When the weather’s nice, take a seat on the patio and take advantage of the views. www.exploreasheville.com LNM

Business Update Freedom Boat Club has just reached the 100-boat summit and added 1,000 boats to its nationwide fleet. The nation’s oldest and largest boat club has over 10,000 members and is located in 20 states. Over the past three years, the club has doubled in size. “In 2016, we’ll be expanding the Lake Norman fleet to 20 boats, with models from Bennington, Regal, Hurricane, and the all-new Wake Tractor Surf Boat,” says Jeff Weir, owner of Freedom Boat Club Lake Norman in Cornelius. “Because our fleet is refreshed every three years, we will also have at least five additional brand new boats replacing those we sell.” Learn more about the club at freedomboatclub.com. Supercuts is opening a new location at Magnolia Plaza in Cornelius. This full-service salon will offer haircuts, blowouts, full color, and highlights, and will be open seven days a week. Salon hours are Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Stop by the new location at 8321 Magnolia Estates Drive, next to Publix in Cornelius, or call 980-231-5317 if you would like to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are always welcome. — Compiled by Claire Kuhkin. Email business news to kcoleman@charlotteobserver.com

Mooresville resident Meredith Kistner was able to capture this Lake Norman sunrise with her Samsung Galaxy s6. In her words: “I was driving down to The Point one morning as the sun was coming up to take in my friend’s mail while they were away. I scrambled around to try to get a good view and pulled down Yacht Road. On the left was a community dock that was slick with a layer of frost. I ‘skated’ down to the end in my slippers to get that shot, hoping I wouldn’t slip!”
