WELCOME HOME
Home Just four letters, yet it holds a world within it. It’s our foundation, our refuge, our starting point, and our safe return. No matter where life takes us, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of coming home, its warmth, its familiarity, its embrace.
Author Wendy Wunder captured it perfectly: “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”
In this edition, we celebrate what makes a house a home: the flavors we savor, the spaces we design, and most importantly, the people who fill them with life and love. Through the stories of local businesses and inspiring individuals, we hope to deepen your connection to the community that surrounds you.
Many of you tell us you keep this magazine long past the month printed on the cover, a cherished part of your home. That means the world to us. We take pride in creating something that resonates with you, month after month, and we’re honored to be a small part of your space.
From our home to yours, we wish you warmth, joy, and a sense of belonging.
Your storytellers and friends,
March 2025

2025 COLOR OF YEAR: Mocha Mousse
Anne Marie Designs’ Exclusive Take On This Year’s Most Coveted Hue
ARTICLE BY KELLEY LAMM
President/Designer at
Anne Marie Design Studio
“Mocha Mousse is a luscious, earthy tone that brings natural comfort.”
-Anne Marie of Anne Marie
Design Studio
Pantone announced its Color of the Year for 2025: PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, rich brown that exudes both sophistication and comfort. This decadent hue is reminiscent of lavish desserts, espresso martinis and the inviting embrace of a winter cabin.
"Mocha Mousse is a luscious, earthy tone that brings natural comfort," says Anne Marie of Anne Marie Design Studio. "It’s a perfect accent in any room, complementing a range of colors and textures. Homeowners can incorporate it through buttery leathers, satin fabrics, area rugs or even as a striking paint choice for cabinetry and walls."
Mocha Mousse’s versatility extends beyond interiors. It’s a staple in fashion and beauty, seen in clothing, nail polish, makeup palettes and jewelry, while seamlessly integrating into home design through dishware, golden bronze lighting and elegant cabinet hardware. The trend of “quiet luxury” has dominated fashion and interiors over the past year, favoring soft, neutral tones that evoke understated elegance.
For homeowners, Mocha Mousse offers a modern yet timeless update. Try layering it in wallpapers, bedding or accent walls to create a cozy, grounded space. For a bold touch, consider wide vertical stripes in alternating sheens above alabaster wainscoting, adding depth and dimension to a dining area.
This color’s natural, adaptable beauty makes it an effortless statement in any home. Whether through subtle accents or dramatic applications, Mocha Mousse is a great way to bring warmth and quiet luxury into any space this year.
SAVOR NEW MENU OPTIONS For Spring
OAK STREET INN & LOUNGE CHEF ADDS DISHES AS NEW SPEAKEASY ALSO LAUNCHES
ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON
Oak Street Inn & Lounge Head Chef Tyler Craig.
Creating upscale American fare with eclectic flair is the mission of Oak Street Inn & Lounge Head Chef Tyler Craig.
This St. Charles resident says he grew up alongside his father cooking authentic Sicilian dishes, steeped in family recipes. "I'm inspired by taking more simple dishes and giving them a distinctive taste and style. I enjoy exploring all types of cooking cuisines, especially Italian, Greek and French," Tyler explains.
Oak Street Inn & Lounge owners and married duo Chelsey and Nick Sweeten, along with Chelsey’s parents, Chris and Millie Shreves, recently reinvented the historic 163-year-old building in the heart of Cottleville at 5521 Oak St. The building served as a former post office and general store before its current use as a boutique hotel and refined restaurant. The hotel opened last June, followed by the lounge and then the rooftop bar, both during last August. Tyler previously worked in various kitchens for the past 12 years, including Maggiano's Little Italy in Richmond Heights. He assures that vegetarian and gluten-free options are taken into account and provided at Oak Street Inn & Lounge.
Small plates include choices such as fried artichoke hearts topped with balsamic glaze and shaved Parmesan; pear and roasted beets salad; beef carpaccio with arugula, shaved Parmesan, capers, olive oil, sea salt, sun-dried tomatoes and shallots; as well as and truffle fries with aioli.
"We hope to bring back fan-favorite sweet potato dumplings with house-made garlic cream sauce; when sweet potatoes are back in season," Tyler assures.
New small plates for the spring season will include an in-house rosemary focaccia bread with savory dipping oil.
Oak Street Inn & Lounge Head Chef Tyler Craig's favorite linguine aglio olio with Nigerian prawns.
Tyler says he's also eager to introduce a gnocchi with fresh lobster and vodka cream sauce, as well as a potato fondant with smoked Gouda cheese that's similar to scalloped potatoes.
"Whenever possible, we secure mushrooms, produce and meats from local sources, including Amish farms," Tyler adds.
Main dining options span ribeye; beef tenderloin; roasted chicken; fish of chef's choice changing every two weeks; and linguine with Nigerian prawns. Vegetarians can partake of a new, custom ratatouille. These meats are accompanied by sides such as whipped potatoes, cheddar grits, roasted asparagus, broccolini, butternut squash, green beans and roasted carrots.
New entrees for spring at press time were slated to be braised lamb shanks with a Greek-style tomato sauce, veal chops and a spinach/ salmon salad with lemon dill dressing.
at press time he was planning to continue them. Before the meal, Tyler says he interacts with guests to see if they have any dietary restrictions or allergies around which he should cook. While he's preparing the dishes, servers explain to guests from where their foods and beverages originated, and answer any questions. During the meal, Tyler serves the food himself, as an extra personal touch.
“I like to talk to guests about what menu items they like best, and to ensure they have delectable experiences.”
"But I enjoy cooking all sorts of dishes, so, for a Valentine's Day special, we just served prime rib or Chilean sea bass with smoked au gratin potatoes," Tyler admits.
This winter, Tyler created "Private Chef’s Table meals," on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Diners received unique dining experiences with exclusive wine and dinner pairings chosen by him. He says the concept went over so well,
"We especially enjoy explaining in what regions the grapes are grown for our wines," he says.
Tyler's culinary team serves the lounge and rooftop bar, and is adding a third service area within the group's speakeasy, which is likely to open by the end of February. He says he will provide a Japanese-fusion menu for it.
"However, anything with pasta is No. 1 hit with me. My favorite item from our menu has to be the linguine aglio olio, because it's from an Old Italian recipe. It's served within an olive oil white wine sauce, with shaved garlic, parsley and crushed red pepper. So good!" Tyler quips.
Restaurant/Lounge Hours: 4-10 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays (closed Sundays and Mondays). Speakeasy opens at 6 p.m.

2025 HOME REMODELING TRENDS
Discover 8 Inspiring Ideas To Transform Homes and Create Beautiful, Functional, Welcoming Spaces
ARTICLE BY MICHAELA PEARCE PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNE MATHEIS
With four decades of experience in the home remodeling industry, Liston Design Build team members have helped clients ideate and integrate a myriad of design/build decisions to meet changing needs and preferences over the years. In 2025, several exciting trends are emerging that focus on creating personalized, functional and welcoming spaces. These eight trends reflect the growing emphasis on comfort, sustainability and individuality, and are ones likely to shape more home remodeling for the rest of this year.
1. ARCHES AND ARCHWAYS
Arches are making a major comeback, bringing softness, playfulness and a timeless charm to home interiors. From doorways and windows to niches and millwork, this organic modern feature creates a timeless welcoming feel. “Arches help balance harsh lines, adding an architectural elegance that’s both classic and modern,” says Andrea Liston-Jones, director of design. Expect to see new interpretations of this classic shape in 2025 and beyond.
2. FULLY OPTIMIZED LIVING SPACES
Living spaces continue to expand beyond the traditional living room setup and are leaning toward an all-inclusive open concept. Creating a fully optimized and centralized zone that incorporates more square footage while sitting adjacent to the kitchen
adds to the overall flow of a home while incorporating features such as fireplaces, multiple seating areas, or dedicated space for games or intimate conversation.
3. RANGE ALCOVES AND WOOD PANELED APPLIANCES
Want to take a kitchen to the next level? Consider a range alcove, often recessed with an arched detail, adding an architectural focal point while creating a custom look. Conceal appliances with wood-paneled doors to help maintain a cohesive design aesthetic while blending seamlessly with cabinetry and moving away from cold stainless steel finishes.
4. TOUCH-ME TEXTURES AND PATTERN DRENCHING
Maximalism is thriving in certain spaces with layers of bold textures and patterns, creating visual and tactile interest. Think grooved wall paneling, woven materials and plush fabrics such as boucle and velvet. “We’re seeing homeowners embrace designs that reflect their personalities and add depth to rooms like offices, bathrooms and living rooms,” Andrea shares. Embracing prints on drapery, furniture and rugs creates a vibrant space that feels inviting and truly unique.
SEEING HOMEOWNERS EMBRACE DESIGNS THAT
“WE’RE
AND ADD DEPTH TO ROOMS LIKE OFFICES, BATHROOMS AND LIVING ROOMS.”
REFLECT THEIR PERSONALITIES
5. CEILING TREATMENTS
Often called the “fifth wall,” ceilings are taking center stage with beams, coffered designs and applied moldings in intricate designs that add depth and elegance. These treatments not only enhance visual interest, but also complement the room’s design details. An interesting ceiling fully envelops spaces in warmth and charm, tying together the overall design of the entire room in a seamless way.
6. NATURAL DESIGN ELEMENTS
Organic modern styles continue to grow in popularity to encourage a sense of calm and warmth. Soft lines, green hues and light wood flooring and furniture bring a breath
of fresh air, even in the coldest of months. Incorporating earth-inspired tones adds the perfect touch to offer a sense of nature to any remodel. “Creating a more organic and natural foundation to a home’s design allows rooms to perfectly personalize accordingly, whether through color, textures, or other elements,” Andrea says.
7. KITCHENS PACKED WITH PERSONALITY
Kitchens are becoming unique expressions of style, incorporating bold colors, custom cabinetry and personalized touches such as curated art and heirlooms. “We’re moving away from cookie-cutter spaces, and kitchens are one of the best places in a
home to add personalization,” Andrea notes. “Individuality is in, and it’s exciting to see homeowners truly want to make a space their own.” Custom cabinet finishes, creative tile designs and unique lighting are some key features adding character to kitchens.
8. IMMERSIVE BATHROOMS
Wet rooms and spa-like retreats are transforming bathrooms into sensory escapes designed to enhance relaxation. A wet room combines a separate shower and tub into one contained space, offering a luxurious, open and modern design solution. Aromatherapy, steam showers and all-in-one wet zones are growing in popularity, even in smaller spaces. These designs maximize luxury and functionality,
making bathrooms feel indulgent, serene, and perfectly suited to modern living.
BRING THESE TRENDS HOME IN 2025
These trends present exciting possibilities for homeowners to enhance their living spaces with both personality and everyday practicality. Andrea adds, “We’re so excited to be in the position of working so closely with our clients to craft innovative spaces that harmonize beauty, quality and comfort for their families. We can’t wait to see what this year brings for them and their spaces!”

Kitchen design has entered a transformative era, where innovation meets artistry to create spaces that are not only functional but also personal and sustainable. With advancements in technology, materials and craftsmanship, today’s kitchens are tailored to meet the evolving needs and tastes of homeowners.
According to interior designer Laura McCroskey, kitchens today are about more than just cooking—they’re an expression of personal lifestyle.
“Kitchen design has entered an exciting time where the possibilities feel limitless,” says McCroskey. “For me, the design process starts before lines are ever drawn on a construction document. I believe in creating spaces that enhance life, both functionally and aesthetically. The design process begins with a discussion about what a space needs to do, and what aesthetic will bring a spark to the homeowner.
INNOVATION MEETS
design. Advanced appliances are at the forefront, enhancing convenience while aligning with a growing emphasis on eco-friendliness.
“From vacuum-sealing drawers that preserve food and reduce waste to smart appliances controlled by your phone, the emphasis is on efficiency and sustainability. Functional storage built seamlessly into marble countertops and oversized workstation sinks are making daily tasks easier and more enjoyable. Thoughtful features like composting compartments and advanced food preservation methods reflect a broader effort to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact.”
Custom cabinetry that maximizes every inch of space minimizes waste while optimizing functionality.
“Forget the limits of traditional cabinetry. Blind corners, tiny nooks and hidden areas are now designed to maximize storage.

I also firmly believe that when designing a kitchen, one should walk out a recipe to make sure everything is in the right place to suit one’s lifestyle. Cooking zones are imperative to a well-designed kitchen.”
Modern kitchens emphasize zoning, or the creation of dedicated areas for preparation, cooking and storage, to enhance workflow and functionality. These zones not only improve efficiency but also contribute to a cohesive and visually appealing aesthetic.
Cutting-edge rendering software, utilizing technology similar to that used in gaming, allows homeowners to visualize their dream kitchens in hyper-realistic detail. While these tools inspire creativity, McCroskey advises balancing ambitious ideas with practical implementation to achieve the best results.
Technology, sustainability and customization are driving the revolution in kitchen
Automated drawers and pop-up outlets are becoming increasingly common, marrying convenience with sleek aesthetics.”
Design trends have also evolved, becoming more flexible to reflect individual tastes.
“While white kitchens remain timeless and black adds drama, bleached woods continue to be popular. Style trends are no longer as rigid—whether you prefer modern, transitional, or traditional designs, you can create a kitchen tailored to your unique vision. There’s no limit to what you can achieve with today’s tools and technologies. The goal is to create spaces that resonate deeply with the people who live in them.”
The kitchen is the heart of every home and represents a space of endless possibility. Whether your aesthetic leans modern, farmhouse or somewhere in between, the tools and technologies available today make it easier than ever to bring your vision to life.

Fischer Homes’ Professionals
Provide Forever Homes, Caring Communities
Homes are where people's distinctive stories begin, and solid beginnings are vital for homeowners. "Promise only what you can deliver, and deliver what you promise," were the wise words of Henry Fischer, co-founder of Fischer Homes, along with his wife, Elaine, during 1980. While they launched the company in Kentucky, they expanded the business into other states and regions, including St. Louis during 2021. Family leadership still guides the privately held company through second-generation Greg Fischer as its chairman.
This homebuilder business also operates in Ohio, Indiana, Georgia and Florida. Its team was recognized as No. 32 on the 2024 Builder magazine 100 list of top US homebuilding companies. Among the company's premier standout achievements are communities in St. Louis, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Indianapolis, Louisville and Northwest Florida.
Jorge Espinosa, Fischer Homes division manager for St. Louis, says Fischer Homes offers exceptional locations and quality homes tailored to homebuyers' preferences. "However, our communities aren't just about great locations. We also provide beautiful, welcoming environments where residents feel right at home, often in their forever homes. With amenities like pools, walking trails, biking areas, our new
Jorge Espinosa, Fischer Homes division manager for St. Louis
home builds in St. Louis cater to important lifestyle needs," he adds.
As a graduate of Eastern Michigan University, Jorge began his career with Fischer Homes during 2010. He says he values the company's steadfast mission of creating high-quality developments in high-demand neighborhoods.
"Many of our sales end up coming from customers referring to their friends and family. Our customer satisfaction of over 98% means we're a builder you can depend on," he states.
He says he's experienced a strong sense of family and a culture that emphasizes high performance and enjoyment at Fischer Homes. "It's a place where consistent values and honorable goals guide us in doing the right things, building quality homes and delivering exceptional experiences for our homebuyers. We deeply value our diverse team members, supporting their careers by providing opportunities for learning and growth, and always rewarding exceptional performance."
Every customer who builds a Fischer Home can personalize that house at the company's Lifestyle Design Center. Jorge says from choosing cabinet styles to picking out paint colors, expert designers can help homeowners make important design decisions, every step of the way.
To date, there are 573 Fischer Homes in St. Charles County and 804 across all of St. Louis.
Additionally, Jorge says they're proud to partner with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital as the first builder to complete three St. Jude Dream Homes in a single year, raising more than $4 million for the children served by St. Jude. "We just broke ground on the 2025 St. Jude Dream Home in Dardenne Prairie, located in the Inverness community. Fischer Homes was honored this past year with a Lifetime Achievement Award from St. Jude, an award that only one other Dream Home builder has received."
Team members at Fischer Homes are enthused about the company's future growth in St. Louis, he shares. “Customers are responding positively to the communities we're developing and the diverse home designs we offer across multiple price points, helping to address the critical need for housing in the St. Louis market. I look forward to continuing to deliver a worldclass experience for our homebuyers throughout the sales and construction processes ensuring every family finds the perfect home to meet their needs and lifestyle.”

HOMEBUYING MUST-KNOW TIPS For 2025
REALTOR SUSAN BREWER PROVIDES IMPORTANT NOTES FOR SPRING MARKET AND BEYOND
With 20-plus years of real estate experience, more than $750 million in sales and being named the top agent in residential sales for St. Charles County 13 times, Realtor/CEO Susan Brewer has built a solid reputation as a true professional in her field. In 2007, she says Susan Brewer Service First Real Estate was founded on the principle that real estate clients are entrusting their Realtor with possibly the largest investment they’ll ever make and should be treated as such. Her knowledge and expertise has allowed her to be a contributor to Emmy-nominated television programs, Entrepreneur and Oprah magazines, as well as featured globally as a contributor to Homes.com in the Explore Neighborhoods pages for communities in the St. Charles/St. Louis region. SusanBrewer.com has become so much more than a place to search for homes for sale.

“We
take a service first approach to real estate,” assures Realtor Susan Brewer, St. Charles resident, real estate broker and creator of Susan Brewer TV.
Is 2025 going to be a good time to buy a house? Why?
"I believe we'll see more homes in all price ranges hit the market. As sellers are more confident that they can find a home that fits their needs, we'll see the inventory of homes for sale increase. Buyers will have a bigger selection of homes to choose from. More homes allow more buyers to achieve homeownership. While it will still remain a sellers market, we'll see more happy buyers and sellers."
How do you help your clients get ready for home purchases?
"The first step in buying a home is to find your 'buying power,' meaning what can you afford to purchase. Talk to a lender or financial adviser to get preapproved. We assist you with looking within that price range. It's hard if you look in higher ranges to find your dream home in a lower range. If a home is priced correctly, you'll see upgrades in each price range differ. Location, condition, upgrades will set the list price. The market will deem the selling price. Of course there are some side notes to that, age and how the trends have changed can affect pricing of a home."
With homebuying, how do you help clients understand needs versus wants?
"We help figure out what someone really 'must' have in a home by making a list. Can you get what you say you need in the price range that your lender has pre-approved you in? If not, it's time to align what are the most important factors. Homebuyers who do this right away won't miss homes that could be good options because they're searching for a property that may not be in an affordable price range. Knowing the difference between a what and need is something we as professionals help our clients with. It's super important when looking at homes."
