Asset-Based Long-Term Care – Don’t Miss Out

The problem with traditional long-term care policies is two-fold. One, they were underpriced in the first place and two, not enough people purchased them to cover the cost and liability for the insurance companies. This has caused premiums to increase, benefits to drop, and many folks have surrendered their policies as a result. Not a good situation to say the least, because the need for coverage still remains. The cost of a nursing home in North Carolina is approximately $75,000 - $80,000 per year. A married couple age 65 or older has a 50% - 70% chance of needing long-term care at some point, depending on what studies you want to believe. James D. Stillman

Bottom line, not planning for long-term care needs is a huge mistake and could ruin your estate and legacy. Enter “Asset-Based Long-Term Care” strategies. The insurance industry has actually figured out a way to fix this problem where everybody wins, in a sense. Here’s how it works: The base policy is either an annuity or life insurance policy, and then you add on features to provide long-term care coverage. I know there are those of you out there that think you don’t like annuities or don’t like life insurance, but you also may not understand the benefits that they can provide, especially during your retirement years. So please, bear with me. Here are a couple samples: #1 – Hybrid Indexed Annuity with an Income Doubler/Tripler for Long-Term Care - It’s a very simple concept, and it works really well. Let’s assume that because of the income rider guarantee you were able to receive $5,000 per year of lifetime income. With the LTC benefit, you could either double or triple (depending on the contract you choose) your income to help pay for long-term care costs. If your account value goes to zero, the increased income is still guaranteed for five years, and then it reverts back to the original income for life (either joint or single). Not bad, and everyone can qualify since there is no underwriting for annuities. The investment is guaranteed safe, the income is guaranteed, and it’s just a matter of how you use it.

#2 – Life Insurance with a Long-Term Care Rider - Now, for this one you do have to be insurable, and the benefits are dependent on age and rating. But the benefits can be awesome! Here’s an example we recently quoted: Male age 63 (standard rating) with $100,000 single premium gets a death benefit of $193,192 and a long-term care benefit of $489,729 (paid out monthly at $6,802 for six years). That nearly doubles his premium for the death benefit, and he’ll get nearly 5 times what he paid if he needs to use the long-term care benefits. Also, this particular product has a “Return of Premium Rider”, so after the second year you have 100% access to your original premium, and it’s guaranteed to be there even if the contract drops to the guaranteed minimum rate of 3%. Talk about leverage against an insurance company, and still with 100% liquidity and guarantees of your principle amount. Yes, you do have to be insurable to use the insurance-based strategy, and you do have to take the time to learn about these newer “hybrid/assetbased strategies”. In my humble opinion, it’s the wave of the future when it comes to insured contracts and proper retirement planning. If you have “dead money” lying around earning nothing and you need income or long term care coverage, why not put that money to work? It sure beats throwing money at a traditional LTC policy that you may or may not use, or not having any coverage should you need it. Long-term care planning has now become a lot less frustrating with these products that offer multiple benefits. As always, if anyone would like additional information, any of our free reports, or a free consultation, just give us a call at the office or shoot us an email. My book “Finding Safe Harbor in Retirement” is also now available. If you’d like a free copy, just let us know. Also, don’t forget to listen to “The Safe Harbor Retirement Planning Show” on WSIC radio 1400AM & 100.7FM Wednesdays at 8:00am and Saturdays at 10:00am. Until next month, James D. Stillman

One of the things we’ve had a lot of requests to talk about is long-term care. In particular, something called “AssetBased Long-Term Care”. I did do an article some time ago on this subject, but things have changed quite a bit since then. Here at JDS Wealth Management, we’re big believers in long-term care planning, because it’s such a vital part of any retirement plan. Failing to plan for long-term care can be detrimental, and planning for it doesn’t take that much effort or compromise these days.

Editor’s Note

Spring is definitely my favorite season. The color starts coming back to the trees and plants, the weather warms up a little—but not too much, and you can finally spend time outside again. Not that I don’t love a stylish home (we feature a few in this issue), but there’s not much better than sitting around a fire pit at dusk with a glass of wine and a few friends to keep you company. To me, this is what marks the beginning of the season. It sure helps if those outdoor living spaces are modern and

cozy, like Christina Lewis’ Cornelius backyard, as seen on this month’s cover. And not only is her backyard the perfect place to relax, but so is the rest of her house. Though she sacrificed square-footage, style was not forgotten. Incorporating pieces she and her family loved, Lewis was able to create a warm and

inviting home without breaking the bank. Learn how to love coming home on page 32. For something a bit more glamorous, David Smith of Custom Interiors updated a lakeside mansion from over-the-top opulence to understated elegance that could make anyone envious. From the old-Hollywood style mirrors to the dramatic lighting, this home begs you to look at the details. Get a closer look on page 54. Getting to live on Lake Norman is a luxury, so why not take advantage of it? Two locals have with their custom-built docks and outdoor living spaces featured on page 38. Marty Cone wanted his dock to protect his boat from the weather, but also be a great entertaining space for his friends, while Betty and Randy Marion went with a Chevy bowtie design, representative of Randy’s long-standing dealerships and relationship with the manufacturer. As the season finally starts to change, pick your favorite spot to take it all in. I know where I’ll be—in a backyard with good friends and a great view.

Her blog will be published twice a month on our website.

Plenty of Inspiration

Wild by Design Award-winning landscape designer Margie Ruddick is our guest blogger this month in a post titled “Wild by Design”. She explains, “The first naturalized meadow I ever saw was at the beach. I would cycle past it and I found it breathtaking. Now 40 years later I read a profile of the man who created that meadow around his house and it’s described as ‘unkempt’ and ‘looking neglected’. How did I know 40 years ago that the meadow was something beautiful, artful? Why 40 years later is it still perceived as unkempt?” Check out her piece on our website, and be sure to see her in person as she speaks at the Davidson Horticultural Symposium on March 3.

With the gorgeous homes and outdoor living spaces featured in this issue, it’s hard not to get inspired. From simple-chic to over-the-top elegance, the designers in this issue really raised the bar.

Happiness Redesigned Lake Norman interior designer Christina Lewis reinvents her life and her home, using happiness as the focal point. by DEB MITCHELL • photos by JUSTIN SMITH

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

It’s amazing what can happen when you choose to look at something just a little bit differently. That’s what Christina Lewis, owner and lead designer of the ReDesign Company in Cornelius, lives by every day, whether helping her clients’ homes feel brand new by using things they already own or, along with her husband, Tim, helping others find happiness at home through better marriages. Lewis’ life wasn’t always so deeply fulfilling. Ten years ago, she and Tim, unhappy in their marriage and their lives in general, quit their jobs, sold most of their belongings, and moved with their sons, Camden and Cole, from their house in New Hampshire to a much smaller home in the Lake Norman area, all in an effort to up their “happiness quotient.” This downsized lifestyle freed Tim up to go back to school for a master’s degree in psychology. “It forced me to read every book about marriage that’s ever been written!” he says. Although he now works full time for an energy company, Tim’s marriage counseling practice shares a URL (www.lovecominghome.com) with Lewis’s design firm. In 2005, Lewis launched the ReDesign Company, based on the idea that, as she puts it, “You don’t have to buy a $10,000 sofa to be happy.” Using a unique talent for transforming

The Lewis family, from left is Camden, 14, Tim, 46, Christina, 45, and Cole, 17.

“Sure, it can be hard to make that thing that’s sentimental to them fit into the room’s design, but that’s what moves people’s souls.”

her clients’ spaces with items they already own, Lewis and her team create rooms that look surprisingly cohesive and welldesigned, with no hint of hodge-podge. “The people looking to hire us love our story, love that we incorporate what they already have,“ she says, “Sure, it can be hard to make that thing that’s sentimental to them fit into the room’s design, but that’s what moves people’s souls. We really do pay attention to what they have and love, and to what’s important to them.” Lewis’ own home is filled with storied items: a petrified wood coffee table and a tufted velvet sofa that have been with the family for years, her grandparents’ china hung artfully on a dining room wall, and an industrial-chic wooden light fixture by famed

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

furniture designer Joe Manus hanging in the home’s office (Lewis met Manus by chance at Costco on her son’s 16th birthday; she invited him to the party that night and he arrived with the light as a gift for the birthday boy). Because ‘gallery walls’ are one of Lewis’s favorite decorating devices, her home’s walls boast groupings of everything from mirrors to maps, to her children’s artwork. Hung randomly enough to look relaxed yet precisely enough to look neat, Lewis displays framed cards from friends alongside paintings and treasured family photos, one of which is so special to Lewis, in fact, that she also wears a miniaturized copy hanging from a chain around her neck instead of a wedding ring. Lewis even worked her magic in the family’s garage. As the

boys, and their frequently visiting friends, grew, she realized they needed space to stretch out, hang out, and just be guys. Rather than upsize to a larger home, Lewis converted their detached garage into a hip, teen-worthy man cave. “They’re out there all the time!” she says. She brought in space heaters for the colder months and the boys watch movies and play video games on a flat screen TV a counseling client gave Tim as a creative form of payment. Lewis relegated garage items that couldn’t be stored elsewhere like the lawnmower to a ‘garage closet’ she fashioned using inexpensive curtain panels. The creation of the man cave, along with the outfitting of the backyard with fairy lights, various seating groups, and a fire pit, means the family now lives in—and enjoys—literally every square inch of space they own.

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

By looking at her life and her home from a different angle, Lewis reinvented both to be simpler and more meaningful. Her talent and efforts toward helping others do the same have earned awards and accolades, such as the selection of the ReDesign Company to design the stage for TEDxCharlotte in the fall of 2014 and multiple consumers’ choice awards from the Charlotte community. In yet another riff on Lewis’s passion for helping others to “love coming home,” she and Tim are writing a marriage book together. “It’s not another how-to book,” says Lewis, “It’s a snarky, irreverent book about marriage.” Whether it’s helping people redesign their rooms or reinvent their marriages, Lewis says, “We want people to be able to look around their homes and just feel happy.” LNM

These custom docks bring entertaining from the home to the water. by MICHAEL J. SOLENDER â&#x20AC;˘ photos by DUSTIN PECK

MARCH 2015 lakenormanmagazine.com

Chevy Bowtie For Randy and Betty Marion, their Alexander Island lake-side dock is a family affair. Space to entertain and provide the grandchildren with plenty of room to roam were key components behind the design. “I really have to give all the credit to Mark Lancaster,” says Randy, 63, acknowledging the owner of Lancaster Dock in Troutman. “He came up with the design, the special lighting and large seating area that make enjoying the lake such as pleasure.” Lancaster incorporated the signature Chevrolet Bowtie design into Marion’s platform, homage to Marions’ longstanding area dealerships and relationship with the automobile manufacturer. The dock is ringed with LED blue lighting providing a particularly striking look after the sun goes down. Lancaster noted the Marion’s dock was one of about 60 projects he worked on last year. “People who come to us are looking to essentially extend their home onto the water,” says Lancaster, 50. “We work with folks on everything from custom shoreline design, bouldering, and retaining walls, to plant enhancement and environmentallyfriendly decking.” In addition to a large, covered, and open-sided seating area facing the water from the shoreline, two lifts accommodate boats and an additional pair of lifts is available for personal watercraft. “It pleases me to no end when I have people tell me they’ve seen my dock and the Chevy Bowtie from the air when flying in to Charlotte Douglas,” says Randy. www.lancasterdock.com

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

Easy Entertaining When Marty Cone, 27, looked to enhance the shoreline of his Cornelius home off the Peninsula at Lake Norman last year, he had several objectives in mind. “I wanted to have a covered slip to keep the weather off my boat,” says Cone, referencing his 21-foot Malibu wakeboard boat. “And I also wanted a seating area out on the dock where I could set up some deck chairs and entertain my friends.” Complementing the architectural integrity of his Adirondack-style lake home right down to the look of cedar shake siding and incorporating a nautical theme were design elements he emphasized in working with Brooke Foxcroft, 40, owner of Fox Docks in Mooresville. Foxcroft has been designing, building and repairing decks and installing boat lifts in the Lake Norman area for 11 years. “I use synthetic decking for most every project,” says Foxcroft, an exclusive area dealer for VEKAdeck, engineered vinyl shell decking with a foam core. “It’s smooth to the touch, comes in a variety of colors, is extremely low maintenance, and remains relatively cool even in direct sun.” Cone loves the look of his dock which includes a lift for his boat, nautical-style rope railing, and slate-like shingle that matches his home. “I like the fact that it is a fixed dock; it’s quite exposed in this area, and I like the stability I get with this design,” says Cone. “There are built-in steps from the dock to the water for swimming and it’s just a great place to hang out and enjoy the lake.” www.foxdocks.net LNM

Home Recycling A new construction project for a luxury home on Lake Norman turned into an old home rescue by DEB MITCHELL photos by LUNAHZON PHOTOGRAPHY

From left: Len Bealer of Kenneth Bealer Homes, future homeowners Melanie Balousek and her parents Gail and Tom Balousek, Harry Schrader of Schrader Design, and Chip Bridges of Natural Green Scapes

When Tom and Gail Balousek decided to build their dream home on the shores of Lake Norman, they never guessed they’d be part of something much bigger. The Balouseks hired Len Bealer of Mooresville’s Kenneth Bealer Homes to head the design and build team for what was to be a large, resortstyle home. Bealer, whose company has built and remodeled homes in the Lake Norman area for more than 20 years, helped the Balouseks find the perfect lakefront property on Jetton Road in Cornelius. Bealer and his clients agreed that the lot (which is actually comprised of two lots situated next to one another) called for a site-specific home design that would take best advantage of its inherent features and views. Bealer brought Harry Schrader of Schrader Design in Charlotte onto the project, knowing Schrader was a skilled, high-end architect who would also be passionate about designing the home to fully respect the land in every way. At the start of the project, there were two existing structures on the property that needed to be dealt with. “As a builder, the quickest and cheapest option was to tear them both down,” says Bealer, “But we said, ‘What can we do to make this project more eco-friendly and to help someone?’” Bealer brought in Chip Bridges of CBC Stone and Recycling in Mooresville to evaluate the structures for salvageability. CBC, which specializes in demolition and clearing, as well as dredging and building sea walls, has been in operation since 1985, adding a stone and concrete recycling

MARCH 2015 lakenormanmagazine.com

yard some 10 years ago. While one of the structures on the property wasn’t worth saving, Bridges says, “I just couldn’t see demolishing the log home.” The log home is a three-level structure totaling roughly 2,800 square feet. Bealer, Schrader, and Bridges agreed it had intrinsic value based on its structural soundness, the beauty of its exposed beams throughout, and a relatively new heating and air system. “Our immediate reaction was to stop and

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

think,” says Schrader. “Because all of us had the same attitude towards it, we were able to really collaborate and make this decision together.” Bridges even had a recipient in mind for the home—a widow who recently had a stroke and wanted to live close to her family on their property in Sherrills Ford. The questions remained, however, as to whether or not moving the home was tactically possible and ecologically beneficial:

Would it be too large to fit on the roadway and to avoid striking overhead utilities and traffic lights during transport? Were there entry points already on the property to accommodate the equipment and the house or would it be necessary to remove trees and unduly disturb the land just to get the house off the property? Enter Chuck Crouch of Crouch Brothers House Moving Contractors, Inc. Bridges had previously worked with Crouch, who is

the third generation to run the Mooresvillebased business his grandfather started in 1923—he used teams of horses and mules to move homes back then. Crouch sealed the deal by determining that by removing the home’s roof, the log home would be movable and that the property’s entry points were sufficient as is. The move was on. Not surprisingly, ‘surgically removing’ the virtually intact house from its basement foundation, transporting it to another

county, and then reinstalling it on a newly dug basement foundation is a complex process. First, Bridges and his team donated time to remove the log home’s gambrel roof in preparation for the move and Crouch coordinated the necessary permits, as well as securing highway patrol escorts. “We can only move it on a Sunday morning so we don’t interfere with commerce,” says Crouch, “I understand that people get frustrated when we’re on the road with

a house; but when you recycle a house, you’re saving all kinds of products from the landfill—cabinets, carpet, hardwood floors, plumbing. It’s really important.” Next, Crouch and his crew punched holes in the home’s masonry, cut out the stone chimney’s base, and inserted a lattice work of steel beams to undergird the house during removal. They then used hydraulic jacks (much easier than the screw jacks his grandfather used) to lift the house off the MARCH 2015 lakenormanmagazine.com

foundation. The home was then maneuvered onto a flatbed truck where a three-point system evenly distributed the home’s weight for the trip. Once at the Sherrills Ford property, Crouch and his crew placed the house on cribbing, where it will wait until Bridges finishes the new foundation work. Crouch will return to lift the home onto the new foundation and remove the steel beam lattice work. From there, Bridges will replace the roof, connect plumbing and electrical, finish out the masonry work on the chimney and where Crouch’s beams had been, sand and re-stain the logs, thoroughly clean the interior, pass all of the requisite inspections, and, finally, obtain a certificate of occupancy so its new owner can move in. “It should take about 60 days to put the house back up,” says Bridges. “When it’s done, it’s going to look awesome.” With custom home experts like Bealer and Schrader on the project, no doubt the Balouseks’ new home will look ‘awesome’ as well; but they’re even more delighted to know that by building their dream home, they did a good thing for the environment and for someone in need. As if salvaging the log home wasn’t enough, Bealer says, “We’re reusing the existing rock and stone on site [for the new home] and we’re crushing the concrete from the log home’s old basement walls and footings and putting it into the project.” Instead of defaulting to cheap and easy demolition, everyone involved opted instead for hard work, generosity, and eco-consciousness, saving a beautiful, useful house from the landfill and fulfilling a woman’s vital need for a home in the process.

How Do We Grow Our Patriots? Maggie Sellers (11th) started at DDS in 9th grade.While she tends to like all subjects, Maggie has a particular aptitude for mathematics. This year, Maggie took on the extra challenge of enrolling in Calculus III at Davidson College, in addition to a DDS course load that includes AP Statistics, AP English Language, AP U.S. History, Honors Chemistry and Honors Spanish IV. Her cumulative G.P.A. is 4.26. Maggie is also an exceptional trombone player. She earned a chair in the Charlotte Youth Symphony, for which she must play in her school’s band, take private lessons and attend a week-long summer camp. Plus, after she filled in for a trombone player on leave term, Davidson College’s Jazz Ensemble asked Maggie to continue with the group. As a result of both of these commitments, Maggie has rehearsals 5 days a week, on top of her academic work. As a senior next year, Maggie is planning to pursue an independent study with our Math Chair, Dr. Henry Neale. He explains Maggie well: “The qualities that impress me the most about Maggie are her motivation and perseverance. Maggie always seems focused on understanding concepts well enough to apply her understanding in a variety of situations; grades are strictly a measure that Maggie uses to indicate how well she knows the material.This motivation to understand things well is a true pleasure for a teacher.This ability has proven to be a tremendous asset for her in the classroom of course but also well beyond it.”

Partners in Pastry Two best friends evoke nostalgia with their classic New York-style bakery in Mooresville. by KEIA MASTRIANNI • photos by GRANT BALDWIN

Cuisine

Cynthia Field and Joe Torcasso, owners of Cyntucci’s in Mooresville.

An odd familiarity washes over me when I walk into Cyntucci’s, the New York style Italian bakery on Main Street in Mooresville. Maybe it’s the décor—New York memorabilia displayed proudly on the walls, an artistic shot of the Brooklyn Bridge (what’s more New York than that?), a ceramic Italian chef adorned with trademark red and white checkers, and a cheeky nod to an accent that I can hear in my sleep plastered on the walls and trinkets throughout the shop...“cawfee,” “sugah,” “dish clawth.” The space is homey and comfortable with a personal touch that feels more like someone was decorating his or her living room instead of a bakery. A glass case displays cake pops, cheesecake seamlessly enrobed in chocolate, cream puffs, tarts, éclairs, and monstrous coconut macaroons. To the right of the L-shaped case is the stuff of my childhood—rows upon rows of two-bite cookies in varied shapes, colors and styles, a feast for the eyes. There are shortbread cookies dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles, lace cookies, rainbow cookies striped red and green with layers of jam in between. Wedding cookies, dusted with powdered sugar and studded with mini-chocolate chips sit next to shell-shaped cookie sandwiches filled with cream and chocolate. The display is a throwback to the thrill of childhood holidays when my family would buy trays of Italian cookies

Cyntucci’s has fresh cannoli too and Italian bread because, the sign says, “we ARE Italian.” For Joe Torcasso, this shop is the manifestation of his mind’s eye. “This place is designed the way I had it in my head for the last 20 years,” says Torcasso, who is nicknamed “Tucci” because of his uncanny resemblance to the actor Stanley Tucci. His friends also call him “Joe the Baker” which is how his partner in pastry, Cynthia Field, came to know him. If you haven’t caught on, Cyntucci is a melding of the two, the first three letters of Cynthia’s first name and Joe’s nickname, Tucci. “We met at a party,” says Cynthia, who still works days as a third grade teacher. “He was doing the cake and I was doing everything else.” “The first time we met,” said Field, “Joe looked at me and said ‘Oh, you’re my competition.’ The two kept running into each other at parties and soon they joined forces, baking out of their homes for parties and special occasions. Over the phone, Cynthia gives me a taste of the banter that makes this partnership work. “Did he tell you that if it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have a

bakery?” says Field in an unmistakable New York accent. As best friends, Torcasso and Field play off each other’s strengths and use that energy, along with timetested family recipes, to fuel the familial atmosphere inside the bakery. In just three short months, the two have already developed a cast of regulars.

At three o’clock on a Tuesday afternoon, like clockwork, Hugh Sykes, 69, and Everett Canterberry, 68, walk through the doors. The Mooresville residents joke with Torcasso, as if they’ve been coming for years, and proceed to feed me cookies and forkfuls of cheesecake from their own plates. At one point, Sykes walks outside

and pulls a group of ladies into the shop. Since the day they opened, Cyntucci’s has been warmly received by its customers. “When I see customers reactions and hear them talking...” says Torcasso, trailing off. “I haven’t had a chance to take it all in. I still can’t believe that I have a bakery.” LNM

Interiors

Overdesigned to Streamlined David Smith of Cornelius’s Custom Interiors tones down details and brings subtle sophistication to a Lake Norman family home. by DEB MITCHELL • photos by JUSTIN DRISCOLL

When David Smith, interior designer and owner of Custom Interiors—a fine furnishings store in Cornelius—started work on his clients’ home in Mooresville’s The Point subdivision more than seven years ago, it was virtually dripping with over-the-top opulence. “The house had been a spec home,” says Smith, “They’d bought it quickly because it fit the bill in terms of size for their large family.” When they hired him, he says, the three-story home was so overdesigned that it was hard for them to even know what they wanted. Smith, whose own aesthetic is best described as ‘traditional modern,’ knew it was best to start slowly. “I did a really soft transition with these clients. I didn’t want to go in and tell them to get rid of everything. They needed to be able to trust me first.” The designer, who says he feels lucky to have worked with so many wonderful clients with widely varying design tastes in his 18 years as a designer in Lake Norman, started by giving the home’s kitchen a minor facelift. He removed excess detailing on cabinets, painted over the heavy glaze with a soft neutral color, and added classic oil rubbed bronze hardware. He then swapped the goldflecked counters for understated granite. Over time, Smith gradually introduced more modern elements into the home’s spaces. He kept color palettes restrained, using mostly neutrals, but sidestepped blandness by layering textures. When it came to lighting, however, Smith didn’t hold back. “I love big, statement lighting,” he says. Smith sourced the glam fixtures, and all other furnishings he used throughout the house, from the Custom Interiors store. In the dining room, Smith mirrored the French flavor of the home’s architecture in the classically European dining chairs, chandelier, and skirted marble-topped buffet. The modern glasstopped table keeps things from going over the top. Because the walls throughout the home are covered in gypsum plaster,

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

MARCH 2015 lakenormanmagazine.com

Smith’s go-to flat finish paint looked chalky and drab. Instead, he employed glazes and wallcoverings throughout the home. In the dining room, he used a subtle, almost tonal, mural treatment. The hexagonal breakfast room is simply outfitted, by contrast, with a starburst patterned oval table and comfy upholstered chairs. The custom window treatments are hung on unfussy rods. A sisal rug beneath the table gives the space a finished look. In the salon/living room, the clients’ piano shares the spotlight with a fireplace Smith had made to order by Francois & Co. in Charlotte. Most elements in the space were kept elegantly understated so as not to compete with the stunning barrel-vaulted ceiling Smith covered in a bronze finish and adorned with a massive

iron chandelier. In one guest bedroom, Smith employed the homeowners’ old bed, adding lacquered side tables and upholstered x-benches to freshen the look. Beautifully upholstered twin beds and an upholstered cabinet fill the other guest room, which Smith kept just a bit on the masculine side. Most recently, Smith tackled the wife’s home office space and the master bedroom. He wrapped the office walls in horizontally hung butt-joint paneling, which he painted bright white (he treated the laundry room walls in the same way). Rich walnut counters and stainless steel-wrapped shelves bring elemental contrast, while office paraphernalia is neatly stashed away behind

cabinet doors. The office’s wrapping station is a storage and functionality bonus. In the master suite, Smith layered soft shades of chocolate, gray, and eggplant. He mixed textures like the linen wallcovering on the tray ceiling with the sleek acrylic and steel tables in the sitting area. The walnut and metal “four poster” bed modernizes the space with its geometric quality, while the viscose rug and the fireballs used in lieu of gas logs add visual interest. The master bath features mosaic tile floors, a freestanding tub, and smoky Hollywood mirrors covering the shower’s outer wall (Smith hung the same mirrors over the mantle in the husband’s home office). Upper cabinets at ‘his’ vanity are touch-open mirrored cabinets, while on ‘her’ side, the uppers are linen-upholstered with nail-head detailing. It took some time, but the more the clients trusted Smith, the more his designs transformed their previously overdesigned home into a fresh take on ‘traditional modern’ style. LNM

Southern Hospitality From cozy restaurants to historic homes, there’s no shortage of charm in Charleston this spring. By KATIE COLEMAN

Historic Southern cities are havens for those who appreciate classic architecture, charming homes, and bountiful gardens. At just over three hours away, Charleston is a picturesque springtime destination—just in time for the annual Festival of Houses and Gardens. Take advantage of a trip to the lowcountry during the mild spring months by staying downtown. Within walking distance of Waterfront Park, local shops, and top-notch restaurants, The Vendue (www.thevendue. com) off East Bay Street is the ideal locale to call home for a few days—or a week. The inn, the epitome of Southern hospitality with a heavy dose of history, lies within Charleston’s historic French Quarter Art District. Originally a set of warehouses, The Vendue underwent a $5.5 million renovation and reopened in 2014 as Charleston’s first boutique hotel dedicated to the arts. The hotel’s public spaces feature two to three different exhibits each year, all curated by Robert Lange Studios. Original art is also displayed throughout all corridors and in Gallery Rooms. Here you will also find Charleston’s only Artist in Residence Program. Stop by on one of the many tours (usually accompanied by a glass of wine) to meet the artist. The Vendue is also home to upscale dining in The Drawing Room, casual dining and drinking at The Rooftop (panoramic city views included), and a cozy coffee shop called The Press. To get around to many of the city’s attractions, keep the car parked and either take a stroll or make use one of the inn’s complimentary bicycles. Start a day of exploring on the right foot with some of the best breakfast and brunch spots in the city. Tucked away on State Street

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

The Vendue, located at Vendue Range and East Bay Street, recently underwent a $5.5 million renovation.

Some of the best things to do in Charleston involve dining and drinking (sometimes at the same time). Try the shrimp and grits at Dixie Supply Bakery & Café, chicken and waffles or crispy-skin snapper at Poogan’s Porch, or a variety of libations at Striped Pig Distillery.

next to a small food store sits Dixie Supply Bakery & Café (www. dixiecafecharleston.com), a favorite that boasts a menu full of family recipes for traditional Southern breakfast, brunch, and lunch staples. Try out one of the daily specials (like maple bacon pancakes), or stick to the menu and go for heirloom tomato pie served with sweet potato cornbread or lowcountry shrimp and grits. While probably best known for the ghost stories and famous grits, brunch at Poogan’s Porch (www.poogansporch.com) is not something to be missed. Served on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., brunch has a varied menu, with starters like mac and cheese with country ham and aged smoke gouda, or biscuits and gravy, to main courses like the Charlestowne Fry (open-face

omlete, fried oysters, gouda cheese, peppers, applewood-smoked bacon, with drizzled remoulade), and crab cake benedict (poached eggs, hollandaise, and a crab cake on a fresh-baked biscuit), a dish where every bite is perfectly decadent. Ready to take a break from sightseeing in historic downtown Charleston? Take a quick drive to Charleston’s first distillery since prohibition, Striped Pig Distillery (www.stripedpigdistillery.com). Drop by for a tasting Thursday through Saturday to sample some of the moonshine, vodka, gin, rum (be sure to try the spiced rum if they have it), bourbon, and whiskey the distillery churns out during the year. After an afternoon of touring homes in the city’s Old and MARCH 2015 lakenormanmagazine.com

Historic District, make plans to dine out at some of the city’s best eateries. Across Bay Street from The Vendue sits Cypress (www.magnolias-blossom-cypress.com), an upscale dinner spot housed in a historic two-story building featuring a floor to ceiling wine wall and an upstairs Mezzanine Bar with an old speakeasy feel accented by exposed brick and playful lighting. The menu includes selections from James Beard nominatede Chef Craig Deihl’s in-house charcuterie program, the Artisan Meat Share, which produces more than 90 types of meats. Try elegant dishes like smoked salmon wellington or the filet of beef topped with boursin cheese, and then take a decadent turn at dessert with a Grand Marnier soufflé.

Not only does Cypress have a top-notch menu featuring items like house-cured meats and boursin-topped beef filet, the interior is relaxed and modern with exposed brick and an upstairs mezzanine bar.

lakenormanmagazine.com MARCH 2015

For something new, visit Charleston’s Upper King Street, where fresh fine-dining establishments have begun to spring up. One of the relatively-new kids on the block is Indaco (www.indacocharleston.com), a light and airy take on the traditional Italian restaurant. Make it past the hearty wood door into an open space with white brick walls, butcher-block tables, and pops of yellow. The kitchen is led by Executive Chef Michael Perez, originally brought on prior to opening to help with menu development and to establish Indaco’s pasta program. Under Chef Perez, Indaco sports a menu of curated Italian classics, exceptional pastas, and unique ways of serving pork—from snout to tail. Don’t overlook the pizzas; those have a gourmet twist, too. The cotechino comes topped with braised greens, San Simon da Costa cheese, a farm egg, and Pecorino Romano. For a real treat, let the chef curate a four-course, family-style meal for $45 per guest. Though the restaurant includes an impressive wine list, don’t miss the craft cocktail program. The bar features Italian favorites on draft like the classic negroni, or Indaco specialties like the Italiano, a mix of prosecco and house-made limoncello.

While just walking around Charleston allows guests to admire historic homes from afar, the annual Festival of Houses and Gardens (www. historiccharleston.org) grants visitors access to the interiors and gardens that dot the streets of downtown. This month-long event (March 19 to April 19) offers daily house and garden tours in the different neighborhoods around town. Tours include a selection of private houses and sites not normally open to the public. Grab tickets to one (or many) of the self-paced tours, or look into a few of the events held throughout the month, such as Barbecue and Brew at the Aiken-Rhett House Museum or the 3rd annual Bluegrass Jam at the Charleston Music Hall. Whether you’re in it for the food (we wouldn’t blame you), the views, or the month-long events, Charleston is a bountiful springtime escape. LNM
