classic By Kelsey Wehsels PHOTOS BY FRED DONHAM
Modern and classic styles are the yin and yang of interior design, but like many opposites, they actually compliment eachother well. Nar Bustamante and Ashlee Richardson of Nar Fine Carpentry accomplished a perfect fusion of both styles with this modern yet classic kitchen.

“There are so many modern, edgy, and contemporary elements in this kitchen,” said Bustamante, principal designer of Nar Fine Carpentry. “It’s mixed in with a classic design, which makes this kitchen so unique.” What are those elements? The high and aluminum base boards, and thin and stacking countertops. “If someone says I want a white, traditional kitchen, those are things that are never going to hit the design board,” he said. For a busy family of four, Bustamante and Ashlee had to create a functional, yet elegant kitchen. “Nancy enjoys baking for the family, so a key to this design was the baking island,” said Richardson. “Designed with a pop-up shelf for her KitchenAid mixer, large drawers for all her baking accoutrements, and with a large countertop to allow for ease when rolling out bread and pie dough.” The existing windows and sliding doors were kept, by request, so they would be able to enjoy the view of their beautiful backyard when they are entertaining or using the pool.
The inspiration for this kitchen came from another concept from Nar Fine Carpentry. “Nancy and Henry approached us with a photo of a design we already did with white and walnut colors, and they asked us to do that,” said Richardson, lead designer. “To be quite honest, we were not really sure what we wanted from our kitchen, except that it be a place where family and friends could gather to enjoy a meal, and good company,” said Nancy. “It needed to have a spot for our children to sit and do homework, or simply chat.” Another requirement the family had was tstorage
space. “Although we had tons of storage, it was not functional, so usable storage was a must,” they explained. While the inspiration stemmed from an existing design, it quickly transformed into another. “We’re not scared to incorporate new things into a design because we don’t want to just do the same thing over and over again,” explained Bustamante. “We usually seek to listen to the client, but at the same time, listen to our design soul as well.”

RESIDE magazine | SPRING 2016
Textures: Dimension within the kitchen is created from the use of various textures. One of the main features that creates this dynamic is the white tile design, which is unusual for Bustamante and Richardson. Admitting that it is usually a tile they would normally not consider, they soon came to realize that it was a
key component in the way the design was presenting itself. It also played a key role in creating the traditional and homey feel that the client was seeking. “The pattern of that tile really evokes the classical feeling, similar
to the stamped, tin ceilings that you see in more traditional homes,” said Richardson. The other textures included in the design are the wood grain of the main cooking island and the smooth finish of the Dekton countertops.
Furniture: A current addition to Nar Fine Carpentry’s list of services includes furnishings, where they furnish
and style their designs, and in this kitchen, it is the kitchen table that was designed by Bustamante. The top of the table is made of wood from New Zealand, and fabricated by Spekva in Denmark, with a Safari Brazilica finish. “It has almost purplish, blueish tones in the grain,” explained Richardson. The leg of the table is a welded high beam that was found in a steel yard, which still retains the writing on it from its previous use. “It gives it that industrial look, that is a really popular design aesthetic right now,” said Bustamante. “I’m not ReSIDE magazine | SPRING 2016
11
picky about the piece of steel, I’m not looking for a clean piece. I don’t mind if it has rust or writing, dents, or scratches on it, it’s just part of the character.”
Lighting: Described by Bustamante as the jewelry of the kitchen, light fixtures are special adornments in a living space. Simply put, a kitchen without
‘oh yes, those are actually right,’” said Richardson. “We went with three of them instead of just one for a more cohesive feeling, and we went with Edison bulbs to make it more modern. Because they’re mostly glass, they feel very light and airy and keep the space open.” After that light fixture was assembled, Richardson found the pendant which was placed over the kitchen coffee bar. Wanting to complement the other fixture, she selected it for its glass stem, and opted for a simple shade to keep the design clean. With a large window overseeing the backyard, the kitchen has plenty of natural light. “We did not realize just how dark and dreary our old kitchen was until now. We absolutely love our new bright and open kitchen!” Nancy said. 12
RESIDE magazine | SPRING 2016
the proper decorative lighting is like leaving the house without earrings. The design incorporates a variety of lighting options and fixtures that create proportion, and offer visual range. The large glass lighting fixtures above the kitchen table were introduced by the Nancy and Henry. “I was hesitant at first, a few months evolved, and then the design started coming together, and after we started to build it, I thought
Colors: Since the initial inspiration was selected for its color scheme, they were consistent throughout this design. Wanting to add other color elements, Bustamante and Richardson introduced gray through the stainless steel appliances and the wall color, London Fog by Benjamin Moore. “The existing paint color in the interior was a light creamy yellow, and that is a color that is starting to get very dated now. We’re moving towards gray tones, and more towards warm neutrals on the gray side. London Fog is that perfect gray, a warm gray,” said Richardson.
Unique Features: Always wanting to add intriguing and dynamic design elements, Bustamante added a floating table, which was designed for function as well as its visual appeal. “It’s such a small table, if you put a leg on it, people will keep hitting it,” he said. “At the same time, floating a table like that can be a little modern for a kitchen like this.” With the beam anchored in the attached cabinet, the surface is stacked three inches, and sticks out three feet. It was a design challenge, but Bustamante went for it. “I’m always up for trying new things,” he said. Wanting to prove the table is well-equipped to handle a great deal of weight, he put his weight on his elbows and rested his entire weight on
the table. “See?” He said with a smile to affirm its strength. According to Bustamante, this is Henry’s favorite spot to hang out in the space. Other unique features include the hidden electrical outlets and the covered coffee station.

She has a strong commitment to the industry and, since 1991, has been a member of Team 2000, a nonprofit networking group committed to needs of our local community. Debi’s favorite element of being a realtor is the people she has met and the friendships that have developed. “The relationship building is so rewarding and many clients have become my friends for a lifetime,” she explained. “It is an emotional time for most people, and in some cases, the largest purchase they will make in their lifetime, so the transaction is about their needs, not mine.” In addition to the people, Ambroff simply loves the area. “It is slower-paced and the developers have done an excellent job of creating a sense of community in El Dorado Hills and the surrounding areas,” she said. No matter the price range of your property, your transaction is important to Debi.

A Guide For Your Spring Outdoor Living Space By Kelsey Wehsels
Spring is in full swing and it’s time to take to the outdoors, and start planning for outdoor space renovations. Whether you’re a “do-it-yourselfer” or prefer an outdoor design already assembled, an outdoor space is a perfect place to create a relaxing and entertaining atmosphere. There are a variety of decisions to make, so we asked some local experts to provide some insight on how to dress your outdoors.

Hot Tubs
One of the best ways to add value to your home (and health!) is to install a hot tub or spa, a therapeutic and calming feature that can turn your outside space into an oasis – a getaway without leaving your house! “The spa is almost magical, providing an escape from the intense gravity force on our bodies by being fully immersed in swirling warm water,” said Donald Luke, owner of Capital City Hot Tubs, Inc. “There is no innovation on this planet that can comfort you like this.... especially in
your own backyard!” If you want to conceal your hot tub or simply want to make it its own space, add a gazebo to create an intimate space. The options at Capital City Hot Tubs come in cedar, pre-stained, and in many different design preferences. There are other additions as that can enhance the hot tub experience such as waterfall and LED color lighting. “If you really want to kick up the experience, there are Blue Tooth audio/video systems available for your entertainment,” said Luke.
Lighting 24
RESIDE magazine | SPRING 2016
It is staying lighter outside longer, but that doesn’t mean you should downplay the outdoor lighting. This is an important design tool that provides ambience to your space. Skip the traditional ceiling fan mounted to the canopy, and opt for fun, new ideas such as lanterns, and strung lightbulbs. Candles are another way to set the mood while providing some light if electricity is limited, or not available. Place some on the table for a chic center piece, or better yet, make use of a discarded chandelier and use battery-operated candles for a fun touch. Outdoor spaces can tend to take on a masculine look with all the steel furniture, concrete, bricks, and stone. To create a more whimsy and feminine vibe, try adding a sparkling chandelier to soften the look.
Furniture
Selecting outdoor furniture can be a difficult endeavor. There are several options for many tastes. There are also selections that work best with your surroundings.If your patio is poolside, consider teak furniture, which is highly water resistant. For great durability and water resistance, you might consider powder-coated metal furniture, which can last without scratching or fading. Another option is traditional wicker or bamboo, which comes in many different weights, colors, and pricing tiers. For a more stronger statement, you might want redwood or cedar furniture as it is naturally resistant to warping, decay, and insects. Providing ample seating makes an outdoor living space the perfect atmosphere to entertain. If the space is large enough, create seating separate from a dining table to encourage guests to socialize even though its not meal time. Trading out cushions and pillows is an easy way to add color to your space. For a springy feel, outfit your area with layered pastels, and accent with mismatched patterns to add dimension. When It comes to cushions, the experts at Pottery World agree that Sunbrella fabric is the way to go for durability, and your own personalized style. “Custom orders allow our customers to further choose the frame style and cushion style of the item,� said Amy Hume, marketing manager of Pottery World. Another way to add color to your space is with an umbrella, which are available in multiple shapes and sizes, and can fit any setting.
ReSIDE magazine | SPRING 2016

Greenery
Spring is the perfect time to get landscaping done to later enjoy in the summer months. Create a fun garden with lots of color or create a cohesive space by planting flowers with colors that match or accent your furniture. Blooms such as the pansy, one of the best flowers to plant in the spring for early-season containers and window boxes, offering a variety in petal color. Lilac varieties is also one of the best flowers to plant in spring and comes in many different shapes and sizes, from dwarf shrubs to taller trees for any look you might want to achieve. It is also time to consider the weather patterns when it comes to choosing your plants. “Water will always be worth more than gold to a Californian,” said Juliet Voigtlander, owner of El Dorado Nursery. “When replacing plants that may not have survived the drought, now is a good time to replace them with some less thirsty plants.” Maintaining your plants through the warmer months is another thought to keep in mind. According to Voigtlander, fertilizers and mulch can help achieve this. “Organic fertilizers are safer for the environment, they feed the plant more slowly, and the outcome is a healthy plant that will be ready for summer,” she said. “After the rains have stopped, applying a 3-inch layer of compost, bark chips, or mulch will help keep roots cooler, improves soil health, and holds moisture in the soil longer.” If your space is difficult to maintain a garden, have fun using household items to make planter boxes. For a rustic look, make use of an old watering can or bicycle. Hanging plants is another space-saving way to create a green look. To occupy a bar corner of the space, group together mosscovered baskets in odd numbers and staggering heights to keep the eye moving and create a visually interesting outdoor design. 26

Bring the indoors out, with a an outdoor rug that will make the space feel warm, inviting, and comfortable. Adding a patterned area rug is a simple and quick way to update an outdoor space. Stylish and practical indoor-outdoor rugs are usually made of faderesistant and mildew-resistant materials which add big impact with low maintenance. One thing to consider for outdoor rugs is how they will be used. Will it be a permanent outdoor fixture, or inside during the winter months? If the rug will be an unchanging accessory, the entire rug including the back and trim) should be 100% polypropylene – a type of plastic that can tolerate harsh outdoor weather, prevent mold and mildew, and retain its size. For a seasonal rug, conventional fibers such as jute, bamboo, and cork can be used, although. They should be temporary as they don’t fare well being exposed constantly.

Audio/Video
Nothing seems more relaxing than laying by the pool and watching an episode of your favorite television series or movie. Outdoor video and audio systems are becoming increasingly popular. For video, people must keep in mind the weather and sun. Even if it’s protected from the elements, the screen will compete with the sunlight. One convenient form of outdoor video entertainment is a projection television system. “You have the ability to create an outdoor theater,” said Tony Bumgardner, RCO Outdoor Living Specialist. “It’s convenient because you can store it and bring it out when you need to, and it’s easy to store.” Another form of outdoor television that can be conveniently tucked away is a subterranean set, where the television is built into the ground, and upon pressing a button, the system emerges. It is the most conducive way to conceal your equipment, but with ready availability and easy access. Want to conceal your audio system? Try camouflaging your speakers with accessories such as a rock, that look to be part of the surroundings. Bumgardner recommends Sonos, a leading brand in the wireless speaker industry. “There are so many options,” he said. “You can connect to a transmitter and control the sound from your phone, or assign different zones with different sounds. It’s all tailored to what you want.”

With every new advancement, we learn of higher resolution images, 4K video, and streaming music that looks and sounds clearer than real life itself and can be accessed virtually
everywhere through virtually every new and existing device. Sounds great, right? Most definitely! However, most of us can’t ignore that, regardless of the steps forward in technology, there’s a very prominent, synchronous, and most constant step backwards; how do we keep up with all of it and access it in one convenient place?
