LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

A

s this spring already has resulted in plenty of time spent at home for families everywhere, we know area residents’ metaphoric home renovation muscles have to be twitching. Hours upon hours have probably passed in staring longingly at that kitchen you just haven’t gotten around to remodeling quite yet, picking at the landscaping you really wanted to refresh this year or just gazing at your bedroom walls, envisioning all the colors you could paint them. Or is that just me?

Although substantial construction plans might be more future-leaning at this time, that doesn’t mean the creative juices should stop flowing, so we’ve packed this issue of ABODE magazine with enough design inspiration to reimagine your entire home post-quarantine.

Take, for instance, contributing writer Alecia Humphreys’ piece starting on Page 19, in which she talks to three top area designers about the most picture-perfect color palettes trending right now, as well as advice on how to incorporate those choices into your own home’s décor.

Or feast your eyes on one of the many spectacular homes featured in this issue, such as local interior design rock star Jessie D. Miller’s personal high-rise renovation, relayed Photo by Sarah Conroy in detail by writer Brittany Nay starting on Page 24. Check out a stunning historic home in St. Louis’ Lafayette Square neighborhood starting on Page 43, and get a taste for the contemporary in copy editor and staff writer Bryan A. Hollerbach’s feature on a home by Mitchell Wall Architecture and Design starting on Page 48.

Whatever your personal style and whichever room you’re reinventing, be sure to first read writer Drew Gieseke’s article on sustainable construction options starting on Page 16 for an eco-friendly, responsible approach to any project.

In times when home is such an important haven for comfort, safety and health, we hope that the inspiration found within these pages leads to your abode being an even more dazzling expression of yourself, your life and all the things you hold dear.

All the best,

Emily Adams

Q &A

With KEN STÜCKENSCHNEIDER

By Alecia Humphreys | Room photos supplied; portrait by David Anderson Ken Stückenschneider, principal designer of Stückenschneider Decoration & Design, LLC, is known for intricate interiors that combine timeless elegance with modern comforts that clients crave for their residential everyday living and functionality.

“I apprenticed with the great American modern classicist architect Robert A.M. Stern in New York City and oversaw his interiors department for many years before opening my own firm in my native [state of] Missouri 14 years ago,” Stückenschneider says. “Prior to that, I worked in London after having received my bachelor’s in art history and architecture from Washington University in St. Louis, as well my master’s degree in interior design from Pratt Institute in New York City.”

Ladue News recently caught up with Stückenschneider to discuss his signature style, his inspiration and more.

Pro tip.

Gray is not a color. It is a mix of black and white. It is depressing and ugly. I have rarely used it. It is the worst “trend” to have ever occurred in American decorating.

Hopefully, it is over. What beautiful gray color have you seen in nature? And if so, hasn’t it been used with multiple other shades and nuances of color that bring and give it life?

After all, black and gray are the colors of mourning … what does that say about trendy decorating? I’ll stay in the world of living beautifully in full color!

Signature style.

Beautiful fabrics, hand-painted finishes, warm, natural woods, extremely comfortable furniture, a bit of elegant glamour – all bringing the old world to the new. I try to make sure each project exudes a serenity and sense of comfort and ease that derive from perfect proportions combined with fresh, unpretentious beauty.

Inspiration.

Because of my education in art history, architecture, museum studies and interior design, we always start by examining the project’s style of the house or building we are working in. I then suggest solutions that will enhance the architecture and feeling of the space after listening to what the client would like to achieve. I firmly believe that architecture leads and decoration follows. If there is no architecture to speak of, then we add some! This makes for a more cohesive, relaxing and unifying design.

Take on trends.

Recent reno.

We recently renovated a beautiful, traditional Georgian brick house with classical bones and great architecture. It is always a pleasure to work with balanced and well-detailed architecture from the past. We’ve also worked on many new houses by contemporary architects who know how to achieve this effect. We bring many ideas to the table and get involved from the conception of a project, making sure that the interior spaces flow effortlessly into outdoor entertaining areas and the landscape beyond.

In general, our work does not follow trends and tends to be classic and traditional in the sense that we pay great attention to make sure it does not look “trendy,” thereby aging more beautifully and naturally. Good interior design is expensive, and it is much more cost-effective to make sure a room looks as good 10 to 20 years from now as it does today. That being said, we keep up on trends and incorporate many contemporary things; however, I personally try to evaluate with my eye and education if it will stand the test of time.

Q &A With STEPHANIE POHLMAN

By Brittany Nay | Design photos by Stephanie Pohlman; Stephanie Pohlman photo by Lauren Muckler Photography St. Charles-based interior designer Stephanie Pohlman’s coastalinspired spaces have been breathing new life into homes across the metro area since 2017.

Anchored by a degree in architectural studies with an emphasis on interior design, Pohlman passionately designs with the homeowner in mind and at heart, creating light, livable interiors where memories are made. LN recently caught up with Pohlman to learn how she pulls together such practical, pretty interiors.

Spring refresh.

It’s important to keep the big items timeless – mirrors, artwork, etc. Switch out easy things like pillows, greenery and small prints to bring spring into your home.

Trend forecast.

I am loving natural tones, rattan, cognac leather and modern yet cozy spaces. I am [also] loving the pop of dark navy or charcoal in a room!

Design vision.

I [meet] with my client to get an idea of what their needs are for the project. For my full-service designs, I start with a furniture plan (if a new layout is needed), virtual inspiration board and budget. Once these are established, I begin looking for the large items and schedule an install date to pull the look together and do the final styling! Remodels and new builds vary by project, but I also provide the service of helping with everything from the very start to the project – [ from] developing plans, to picking finishes, to finalizing furniture and accessories.

Big reveal.

I recently designed a home where my client let me have free rein. I was able to pick all of the furniture, accessories [and] rugs. She went out of town and [came] home to a completely finished home! It was so much fun, and she had a stress-free experience. [A] win-win in my book!

Go-to goods.

I do a lot of my shopping at HomeGoods [and] Pottery Barn Outlet … and I also like to find hidden gems at places like The Refind Room.

Pro tip.

I love to scroll Instagram and Pinterest to get my mind flowing.

Home sweet home.

I love helping my clients to love their home! Nothing is better than a happy phone call or text from my clients at the end of the day when they get home and get to see their space completely finished. It’s a place where memories are made, and it should be somewhere you love to spend time!

Conscientious construction helps keep costs low and energy efficiency high for local homeowners.

L

iving conscientiously doesn’t have to be difficult.

For homeowners, a slew of materials and construction methods can make a big difference when it comes to building or renovating a house with sustainability in mind.

“If you design a remodel or renovation or a new home, and you do things that are considered ‘green,’ what it really is is nationally recognized best-building practices,” says Jeff Bogard, president of R.E.A. Homes and a LEED Green Associate. “The beauty of it is, if you have a more comfortable home, it’s more likely you have a more efficient home.”

The team at R.E.A. Homes – one of the area’s only luxury ENERGY STAR custom builders – uses these techniques and materials to construct new homes and renovate custom, luxury living spaces. They also look at which direction the house is facing; the design of the HVAC system on a room-by-room, floor-by-floor basis; the type and design of the insulation that is used; all of which are details that are not normally considered in more standard build-outs.

It’s this “sweating the small stuff ” – as Bogard puts it – that makes the difference in conscientious construction.

“We build into our design only what’s important to our clients,” Bogard says. “All

of them desire luxury, and additionally some care about and prioritize energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and comfort.

We want what our clients want. We’ve done homes with solar panels in the area – that’s a little bit of a longer-term payoff.

You’re putting something on your roof that’s going to produce clean, renewable power for 15 to 20 years.”

Bogard mentions other past projects that his experienced team has worked on, including reclaimed barnwood, upgraded insulation systems to better keep the elements out, and geothermal heating and cooling. R.E.A. even recently finished a home in Ladue with a lawn that didn’t have a single blade of grass. Instead, native, low-water plants were installed, saving time, hassle and water usage.

The building process itself is sustainable, as well.

“We do a lot of [these practices in] our construction, but one of the things that we do is, we like to use panelization, so we work with a lumber company in town that will review our final blueprints and, in the factory in advance, will preassemble pieces of the structure,” says Bogard, who explains that the process saves money and man-hours, reduces waste, and speeds up the time it takes to get the new structure under roof and out of the weather.

R.E.A. isn’t the only area company helping homeowners live greenly. For your home’s interior, the flooring experts at LK2 Kaim Kisner Studio can help keep air clean with Lauzon Pure Genius Smart Floors.

“Pure Genius technology acts like a tree,” says owner Andy LaPlante. “Trees, in addition to generating oxygen from the breakdown of carbon dioxide, degrade nitrous oxides through photosynthesis. Pure Genius flooring also breaks down nitrous oxides through its photocatalytic action. Since our flooring is used indoors, it also breaks down other harmful volatile organic compounds.”

Even more amazing, the tech is triggered by movement.

“The air circulation generated by your movement though a room or a fan is all that’s needed for toxic contaminants present in the air to enter contact with active nanoparticles,” LaPlante adds.

Regardless of the direction you decide to go with your new or renovated home, every conscientious consideration contributes to a similar result: a more efficient – and more comfortable – home.

TOP AREA DESIGNERS SHARE THE COLOR PAIRINGS THAT ARE INSPIRING THEM THIS SEASON.

W

hether you prefer bold and beautiful, muted and modern, or clean and classic, area designers are passionate about presenting the perfect color palettes to their clients. Ladue News chatted with Megan Temple of Megan Temple Design, Jenna Siebert of J&J Design Team and Laurie LeBoeuf of Castle Design about which palettes exemplify perfection in present-day design and how you can incorporate these picks into your abode.

FEELING BLUE Megan Temple of Megan Temple Design says blue and chinoiserie ruled in 2019, and the same holds today.

“With Classic Blue recently named as the [Pantone] Color of the Year, I am seeing this as the primary color again for 2020 with my clients,” Temple says. “I’m freshening the look up by pairing it with pops of green – emerald, Kelly green and olive are all great complements. You will see all shades of green trending for 2020.”

Temple says great places to incorporate color into the home include kitchen islands, bathroom tile and bathroom vanities.

“Vanities are a great way to introduce this color in your home,” she says.

However, if green makes you grimace, Temple says another palette she’s loving right now is navy blue paired with black, white and gold accents.

“It’s a simple yet sophisticated look,” Temple says. “Navy and black are core colors but not often paired together, so it creates an unexpected and stylish look.”

20 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

NATURALLY NONPAREIL Jenna Siebert of J&J Design Team says her go-to palette is black-and-white with wood details and earthy elements.

“This kind of neutral palette can create a minimal and cozy feel in a space,” Siebert says. “I also add some greenery everywhere I can. Plants, plants and more plants.”

Plants in Siebert’s designs range from potted varieties in pretty woven baskets to hanging assortments.

Siebert says this neutral palette paired with plants creates a calming space that can also help clients feel more grounded.

“Don’t get me wrong,” Siebert concludes, “I love lots of colors when done right in a room – but the overall feel of a space that is more simply and aesthetically calming can bring a sanctuary kind of vibe that I am definitely into creating.”

S AT U R AT E D S H A D E S Laurie LeBoeuf of Castle Design is loving marvelous, moody shades paired with saturated hues.

“Saturated shades that change ever so slightly based on the time of day and natural light in the space – these tones can immediately create a mysterious, elegant and interesting space,” she says.

LeBoeuf says she recently renovated a master suite where the focus was a bold floral wallcovering that was perfectly paired with emerald green.

“We pulled punches of emerald green out of the print to ground the space with the upholstered headboard and floorlength drapery panels,” LeBoeuf says.

Gold accents and soft blush tones were also paired with this pattern.

“This color palette created the perfect oasis of calm and moody tranquility, with just the right amount of drama,” she says. “I have really been in a mode of embracing saturated color tones. After so much time filled with all-white kitchens and gray everywhere, I am loving all things blue, blush, emerald green and rich jewel tones that provide bolder touches of opulence and punchy color combinations with layers of patterns and textures.”

LeBoeuf says the best way to incorporate color into a space is by having fun.

22 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

“We all know that color has the power to transform a space, whether it’s brought to life through bold accents and accessories or through an unexpected painted ceiling, piece of artwork or lively fabric pattern,” she says. “Don’t be afraid to mix colors and try to find something in your space that you can pull interesting color combinations from – fabrics, artwork, a favorite scarf or an antique china pattern or vase.”

Unique antique accessories from Miller’s adventures accent the new living and dining rooms, from European columns to statues – a nod to the designer’s love of travel and the European lifestyle. “Everything I do is a reflection of my personality,” she says, “and I love unexpected combinations of styles … I love modern mixed with vintage and antique, and I love a balance of masculine and feminine.”

The white-drenched design aesthetic also works well for Miller’s furry friends – her two beloved Chihuahuas. “[One of my] white Chihuahua[s] has, in his older years, begun to shed, so I decided to go with upholstery to match his coat,” she explains, adding that the sleek sitting space’s white couch was custom-made, while the cozy pale chairs, white-coated chandelier and light-wooded media cabinet

by Dallas’ Global Views were sourced from design vendors.

Although creating spaces for clients brings her joy, Miller says redoing her own abode proved a challenge. “The options are endless because we have access to so many products and materials, so it never shuts off, and you never have a deadline,” she explains. “With clients, you have to make decisions … With your own space, you really are your own boss, and you can easily make excuses on indecisions.”

One stumbling block came with the European columns Miller wanted to showcase in her living room.

“They had to be cut down to fit in the apartment, so they had to take 4 or 5 feet off,” she says.

Another hurdle approached when Miller found the perfect vintage Mastercraft Furniture Co. table to be the jewel of her dining space. “I saw it in Palm Springs, but it was at a really high price point,” she recalls. “I just knew I could find it somewhere else soon … and six months later, I found the identical piece in St. Louis on Craigslist.”

The sparkling glass table finally found its home, now serving as the centerpiece for Miller’s showstopping dining room, complete with an original, ornately carved fireplace and an elegant European white stone statue.

As she settles back into her comfy white furniture to start each new day, Miller says she is elated to have the revamp complete – especially since she achieved a tranquil space to dream up others’ redesigns, simply noting: “It just really makes me happy.”

THE MINIMALIST

Motif

Feeling the need to declutter and downsize, a Clayton family transformed their spacious condo into a modern home.

L

ess is more in a condo unit of 2,800 square feet.

Each piece of furniture takes ownership of valuable space. Décor demands attention when it disrupts a blank canvas of white walls and hardwood floors.

But this minimalist aesthetic is just what one of the unit owners at Maryland Walk Condos of Clayton wanted to see. As parents of twin daughters about to leave the nest for college, they were ready to downsize from a home of 4,000 or so square feet and transition into a smaller, more modern space.

“When you acquire things over time, they don’t necessarily fit together,” one of the unit owners says. “You buy a chair one year and a couch two or three years later, and all of a sudden, it looks like random items that you tried to put together and form

themes in a room, but it never quite works. The idea of getting rid of a lot of the furniture, plus just a lot of the other stuff that we weren’t using … It’s really liberating to, you know, take those years of your life and just sort of get rid of all of it and say, ‘OK, now how do we want to live and start over?’”

After careful consideration, the family chose Cure Design Group, based in the metro area, to coordinate their condo unit renovation. The owners compiled interior inspiration photos and other elements they hoped to marry. Cori Dyer, Cure Design Group’s senior designer on the project, displayed a clear understanding of their vision, the owners say, and proved she could build on their ideas to create the home they imagined.

While studying the inspiration photos, Dyer says she realized an open floor plan and loftlike space with multiple

seating groups intrigued the owners, as did neutral color palettes and midcentury-modern and urban décor. Dyer says she considers a client’s lifestyle when planning a project, and she knew this space had to evoke a sophisticated, contemporary vibe fit for entertaining guests, but it also needed to be functional and homey for a family of four – five, counting their dog.

Sara Luigs, Cure Design Group owner and design director, says Dyer’s living room design works well to divide the open area into personal spaces.

“You walk in, and you’re in the middle of the kitchen, the dining room and the living room all at one time,” Luigs says. “She [Dyer] had to be really cognizant of creating those individual, kind of lounge spaces within the overall open space without cluttering it.”

Dyer honored the owners’ requests, like adding a fireplace in the living room, but also exercised her own creativity. Most of the unit’s design plays along with a neutral color palette, but Dyer incorporated splashes of blue as well, thereby adding more color to the dining area and living room. She also suggested a statement piece for the kitchen: an island with a marble countertop and waterfall edge.

Convinced by Dyer’s ingenuity, the family committed to this unexpected piece – even to the point of involving a crane to lift

32 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

materials into the unit, which sits a few floors above Maryland Avenue. They say the crane wasn’t part of the original plan.

“We were committed to the vision and the aesthetic of it, and so we were going to do what it took to get it done,” one of the owners says. “We trusted Cori.”

Cure Design Group offers a number of services, including a design-build option for clients undergoing bigger projects like this one. Dyer and her team collaborated with such local companies as Landmark Builders, Milford Supply and Closet Factory to ensure each concept came to fruition. Other local professionals Cure Design Group often partners with include LK2 Kaim Kisner Studio, LU Design Build, Immerse, Wilson Lighting and more.

When it comes to styling, Cure Design Group employs a variety of to-the-trade and local vendors such as KDR Designer Showrooms and Design & Detail to find custom and unique pieces, like the long accent pillow in the master bedroom

from Design & Detail. The design team also took advantage of the owners’ own décor, obtained from years of traveling.

The family shared numerous photos they had taken on hiking and mountain biking outings, as well as other trips, and Dyer fashioned them into a gallery wall in the entryway.

“We also have a place in Breckenridge, Colorado, so we’re very much into the mountains and outdoors and all of that, and we wanted to bring a lot of those experiences we’ve had out there into this home,” one of the owners says.

Those personal touches, along with the abundant natural light and open space, make their new home “a happy place,” they say. And by the way their dog follows the sun, basking in the puddles of light made possible by Dyer’s design, it seems Cure Design Group earned approval from every member of this family.

ADJ INTERIORS SHARES HOW THE CLIENTS ARE WHAT MADE ONE DESIGN PROJECT IN HUNTLEIGH SHINE.

F

or April Jensen and her team at ADJ Interiors, the family living in this Huntleigh home project is what makes it so special.

“They were basically moving into their dream home, from Chesterfield into Huntleigh,” Jensen says. “I think they were just so appreciative to have the luck and ability to buy this home. He’s a business owner, and she’s a sales consultant in the cosmetics industry, and they have three children, one of whom has Down syndrome. They’re just an amazing family.

They’re very blessed, and they’re very aware of their blessings. It was great to work with people that were just, in general, so happy.”

The excitement the family had for their new home only grew as the project continued, and what began as a simple painting job and light renovation turned into a gutting of their entire first floor and lower level.

The process that we follow in all of our projects is, we gather a complete story for the home itself, so that wherever you are, in all of the spaces, there’s a common thread.”

– April Jensen 38 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

“As we started to get into the adjustments and the things that they wanted, it all unfolded into this full remodel,” Jensen says with a laugh. “Something that is fairly common in these renovations is that clients always creep on their scopes because they start realizing, ‘Oh, my gosh, this looks amazing; I don’t want to just do this in one room and then walk through the rest of my house and think we should have done that.’ So we really try to establish the full scope upfront and get bids for the largest-case scenario.”

And the largest-case scenario is exactly what the Huntleigh home turned into. With the dramatic alteration in the scope of the project, Jensen notes that she and the clients were consistently facing the question of what to change, what to keep the same and what to scrap entirely.

In the end, the design ended up combining the family’s beloved French country-inspired furniture, modern touches courtesy of ADJ, personally commissioned artwork by St. Louis artists Peter Manion and Ted Collier and architectural treasures original to the home, like the built-in bookcases and the ceiling paneling.

“The process that we follow in all of our projects is, we gather a complete story for the home itself, so that wherever you are, in all of the spaces, there’s a common thread,” Jensen explains. “There’s a commonality and a tone to the house that is in each room, uniting the interior design of each process.”

For the Huntleigh home, that commonality was all about the bling. “The wife of this family absolutely loved crystal and light, but she wanted everything to be really quiet and serene at the same time,” Jensen says.

The center of Jensen’s design was the room that also held the most gravitational pull for the family.

“Their kitchen is their favorite part because that’s where they’re a unified family,” she says. “This is where their family spends the majority of their time, so we kind of let that take the lead for the rest of the house. I think it met all of her dreams to have these crystal chandeliers, to have this beautiful quartzite countertop, to be able to have all kinds of activities going on at the same time and to have space for that.”

With a timeless aesthetic that balances a French country style with a modern sensibility, the cherished room also features an airy Waterworks backsplash in

40 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

a gorgeously textured shade named Sugar, countertops called White Diamond that create a glistening effect and cabinets and woodwork in Benjamin Moore’s Maritime White.

With the wife’s favorite color of blue in mind, Jensen interlaced the hue throughout the dining room and kitchen, as well as the showstopping butler’s pantry. “She really wanted kind of a ‘wow’ factor in her butler’s pantry that is in between the kitchen and the dining room,” Jensen says. “In the dining room, it’s a pale, pale blue grasscloth on the walls, and then it goes into a deeper saturation as you walk through the butler’s pantry, but of course, we added a little bling with that antique mirrored backsplash and gold accessories. It’s very serene but, at the same time, I think sophisticated and unique to them.”

The other statement room in the house – the laundry room – is one that Jensen still admires.

“Nobody likes to do laundry, but in there, I probably would,” she says with a laugh. “It’s so pretty and vibrant. That was actually an island in their kitchen, and we repurposed it for the laundry room.”

The flexibility and trust Jensen’s clients exhibited

as they repurposed and renovated these spaces were just a few of the reasons she enjoyed working with them so much. “One of the biggest challenges to every project is change,” she says. “Even though people want it, it’s really scary. I think it’s human nature.

But I think part of the reason this project turned out so beautifully is that they were great to take our advice and allow us to do what they had hired us to do.”

Jensen says the joy her clients are still getting out of the space is the reason she does what she does.

“At the end of the day, your home is where you experience the happiest times – and sometimes the worst days – of your life, and you want it to be comforting. It was just a pleasure helping these clients achieve their goals.”

Transcending TIME

Despite a sapling growing in a local historic house and other challenges, an interior design/architecture firm here renovated the property heroically.

N

istenhaus Design recently renovated a historic home in the heart of St. Louis’ Lafayette Square neighborhood that’s moody and modern, yet also pays perfect homage to the home.

“The house itself informed a lot of the design decisions,” says Nistenhaus principal designer Michael Wyrock. “Ultimately, we all wanted to be mindful that this was a 100-year-old house and something that really should be respected, but that the clients didn’t want to live in a museum either.”

Achieving the renovation of this handsome 6,800-square-foot abode, though, was no easy feat.

“As we were touring the property, it was very much derelict,” Wyrock says. “A lot of water damage; the wallcoverings were all kind of hanging off the wall; there was debris everywhere. It pretty much looked like someone had been living there one day, and then just wasn’t.”

Wyrock recalls one room even having a hole in the wall that allowed water to trickle in and a tiny tree to take root in the floor.

“Even though it had a lot of issues that happened because of water, a lot of the woodwork, original trim work and molding was all in pretty amazing condition still and just needed to be readdressed,” Wyrock says. “It had obvious potential.”

Shoring up the roof started the same time as the design and planning process began, approximately a year before any real interior work began.

“Sometimes it feels like we aren’t moving fast enough, but that’s not to say we aren’t making progress,” Wyrock says. “We went through multiple iterations of the floor plan itself until we landed on the most appropriate one.”

Although nearly all rooms in the residence were rehabbed, the kitchen received substantial attention by upgrading the layout and finishes, all while staying in the original footprint.

“This was a doctor’s home, so the original kitchen had been 46 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

converted over for him to be able to do whatever he needed from the medical side of things,” Wyrock says. “We modified all of that, so the new kitchen, more or less, went back to where the original kitchen was.

The stand-in kitchen for when the doctor was there is now a pantry, but they actually use it when they entertain for more of a bar area.”

The new kitchen features ivory cabinets as the perimeter, beautiful tilework and deep gray touches that paired well with the original red-toned wood.

“We had to go with something that played with the trim work that is much redder, much warmer and basically a major component,” Wyrock says. “For a lot of the color scheme in the kitchen, we had to consider, ‘OK, we have this beautiful coppery tone, and we’ve taken that color and put that on the ceilings and on walls in other rooms, but in the kitchen, we want to make it more airy and light like the bright kitchens that everyone enjoys.’”

Glass knobs in an amber hue adorn the cabinets, which also set a certain nuance in the stunning space.

“It brings in a rusty red tone that I feel is modern and fresh but still feels slightly traditional,” Wyrock says. “It really looks beautiful – especially as the light hits it.”

The new master bathroom on the second floor was created from the ground up, from the bones of a former front parlor. Door locations were reworked to create a real master suite.

“On that level, there wasn’t really a true master,” Wyrock says.

“The client obviously wanted to have a true master with a closet and a true master bath, so we actually took the first room you walk into when you reach the second floor, which likely would have been a parlor that had a fireplace, and we turned that into the master bathroom.”

The bathroom in question is a moody marvel.

“It is so silly to say, but it is just such a sexy bathroom,” Wyrock says. “I think that’s partially because of all of the design details where you have to look closely.”

Such items include the copper penny tile floor in the shower, the classic claw-foot tub, and the elegant green glazed tile in the stunning stand-in shower that also accents the fabulous fireplace.

“The bathroom specifically seems like it transcends time from old to new, and that was something we were really happy to be able to accomplish in that space,” Wyrock says. “The material palette itself was something Justin [Maine, Nistenhaus principal designer] and I are really proud of. The kitchen, too. I think we ultimately ended up getting it just right.”

Artful Aesthetics

THE OWNER OF A LONGTIME LOCAL ARCHITECTURE/DESIGN FIRM REFLECTS ON A PROJECT THAT RESONATED WITH HIM ON QUITE A PERSONAL LEVEL.

I

t boggles the mind that fully 44 years have passed since the establishment of one of the metro area’s most artful residential resources: Mitchell Wall Architecture and Design.

To this day, the firm, headquartered in Chesterfield, carries on its distingué family tradition in memory of its eponymous co-founder.

With support from the other co-founder – Mitchell Wall’s wife, Carol – son Thomas Wall assumed ownership in 2011, and since then, the firm’s manifold projects have included at least one near and dear to his own heart: the expansion of the 1969 ranch house Wall shares with his wife, Megan, and their sons.

On the Mitchell Wall website, the case study for that expansion appears under a click-through titled “The Modern House in Creve Coeur Addition.”

“Like any addition/renovation project,” Wall says, “developing a design that not only coordinates with the existing home but also fulfills all of the functional requirements of the family were the most important things to keep in mind.”

The expansion, Wall adds, developed organically: “The house itself already had a very unique design to it, so drawing inspiration from the existing home was very easy. That being said, the interiors are where we had a lot of fun, drawing inspiration from graphic design, modernist design, contemporary design – and, of course, the clients.”

Planning the addition started in 2016, at which time the residence comprised 2,700 square feet. Unfortunately, the case study on the website notes, a complication directly ensued.

Specifically, the abode’s proximity to the property line limited how far it could expand to the north, “so the addition would have to run east/west.

However, the home’s north-end roof already had a vault running in that direction. Creating a two-story addition to the existing home allowed the new roofline to mirror the old one by sitting adjacent to and above it. It also enabled the Walls to have a more dynamic rear elevation than the one that would have been created with a single story.”

WE TRY TO BE UNIQUE IN ALL OF OUR WORK, AND THAT MEANS LOOKING LONG AND HARD FOR THE RIGHT MATERIALS. – THOMAS WALL

Not unexpectedly, other challenges arose during the execution of the project, Wall recalls. “Sourcing some of the materials was truly difficult,” he says. “For example, the tile wall in the bathroom and the wallpaper in the bar both took a great deal of time to find.

“Sometimes, you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for – you only know when you find the perfect fit. We try to be unique in all of our work, and that means looking long and hard for the right materials.”

Plans for the expansion included a new master suite, an expanded laundry room, a powder room, a loft-style second-floor multipurpose room (the residence’s largest family space), a guest room with a conjoined bathroom, a new basement with a playroom for the couple’s sons, an entertainment space for adults, an additional bathroom and unfinished storage space, according to the case study.

The completion of the project – on which Mitchell Wall partnered with Olivette’s PK Construction – more than doubled the residence’s area, to more than 5,900 square feet.

The project likewise included a modern swimming pool and outdoor living area with space aplenty for summer cookouts and other family activities. “The outdoor living is a particular favorite of anyone who sees it,” Wall relates, amusingly, “but for us, it’s hard to top that master bathroom.”

With insight born of his and his family’s own experience, Wall concludes by providing brief advice to ABODE readers who might at some point contemplate a project similar to the one under discussion.

“Hire a professional to help you with design,” he counsels. “Be thoughtful in all of your decisions. And most of all, take your time. You only want to do this once, so spending an extra few weeks finding the perfect pieces can make all the difference in the world.”

TREE Tips

By Connie Mitchell

54 | APRIL 2020 | ABODE | LADUENEWS.COM

Spring landscapes aren’t just a ground-level concern.

Y

ou might be centering your attention on your spring flowers during this time of year, but trees are the backbone of beautiful landscapes and offer shade, wind protection, habitats for birds and pollinators, and visual interest to your exterior.

Almost every type of tree, from ornamental to evergreen, can benefit from some springtime attention. Early spring is the perfect time to fertilize, ensuring that nutrients are readily available to fuel trees’ new growth, says Laura Hill, retail operations manager at Frisella Nursery. “If maintenance pruning is needed on deciduous trees (which drop their leaves in autumn), it should be done as early as possible,” she adds.

Those considering the addition of trees to a landscape have many options. Many horticulturalists encourage homeowners to choose native tree species – those that grow naturally in our region’s climate and soil. Among the most popular native trees used for local landscapes are red cedar; shortleaf pine; red, silver or sugar maple; river birch; hardy pecan; hackberry; dogwood; and black walnut, which produces the official state tree nut of Missouri.

Dogwood

Sugar maple

When considering what types of trees to add to your yard, think about the mature size of the tree. “The first mistake made in planting trees is not considering the ultimate size of the material and sacrificing the lifetime of the tree for short-term superficial satisfaction,” Hill says. “The root systems of those trees are also very important to consider. For example, river birch should not be planted next to hardscapes or foundations because their root systems are very strong and spread wide as they grow.”

Planting purposefully is important, Hill notes. Think about such aspects as the color of blooms and leaves, water absorption, softening the appearance of corners and providing shade.

If you want to add a large shade tree to your property, Hill recommends swamp white oaks and scarlet oaks. “These trees do well in our area with our heavy clay soil,” she says. Swamp white oaks typically reach between 50 and 60 feet tall and grow best in full sun. The scarlet oak, known for its bright show of scarlet leaves in the fall, matures to about 70 feet tall and also thrives in full sun.

Among the smaller tree varieties, Hill suggests serviceberry or dogwood, which both provide pops of spring and fall color thanks to early blooms and red, purple or orange autumn leaves. Serviceberry, which is actually part of the rose family, tolerates partly shady conditions and matures to about 25 feet tall. Its berries, popular with birds, are sometimes used in jams, jellies and pies. Dogwoods, also attaining a height of about 25 feet, are known for their profusion of white or pink spring flowers.

Once a tree is established, it needs ongoing care and attention. Hill recommends consulting a certified arborist to help understand what specific species require. For instance, arborists understand and share information about pruning, watering and signs of infestation or disease, as well as proper fertilization practices.

“Always take careful consideration of your planting area and consult a professional – or several professionals – for advice, and be open to their suggestions,” Hill concludes. And remember to look up as well as down when you appreciate your landscape this spring!
