More Hemingway About five years ago, Ernest Hemingway’s nephew, Ernie Mainland, invited my son and me to spend a weekend at Windemere, the Hemingway family’s retreat on Walloon Lake. Ernest had spent every summer of his childhood there, forming memories that he later wove into his short stories. I had become acquainted with Ernie through my work at Traverse Magazine. When he found out that my then 15-year-old son, Keef, loved to hunt, fish and write (as did Papa, of course) Ernie thought he could gift him an unforgettable experience. And indeed, it was. After a wonderful dinner in the main house, Ernie, his wife, my son and I retreated to the living room to enjoy a fire in the massive fireplace—the same fireplace that Ernest and his new (first) wife Hadley slept in front of on their honeymoon. Ernie showed us the door frame that still bears the penciled heights of Ernest and his siblings. Then Keef and I turned in for the night to the small cabin where Ernest stayed when he was young. Yes, Ernest Hemingway slept here. And Keef slept in the very same bed. I thought that getting this close to a writer that I am a bit obsessed with was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Sometimes when out-and-about on magazine stories, I’d drive past the other former Hemingway property in Northern Michigan, Longfield Farm, where Grace Hemingway, Ernest’s mother, had built her private getaway she called Grace Cottage. I’d gaze longingly at the cottage hoping someone would let me peek in. On these drives I also sleuthed how the tiny hamlet of Horton Bay came to figure so prominently in Hemingway’s Nick Adams stories. I realized one day that the geography told the story: As a teenager, Hemingway rowed across Walloon to Longfield Farm, did his chores, and then hiked the several miles to Horton Bay to hang out with his friends. So imagine my delight when, for the second time, I got to get up close and personal with the writer through this issue’s story on the renovation of Grace Cottage, thanks to the new owners, Steve and Joanne Virostek. As you’ll read, the couple has done a fabulous job renovating the cottage. As you’ll see, too, the home they built next to Grace Cottage is sensitive to the historic site. There’s more history and more old-fashioned themes (including our Northern Style spread we call Game Night) in this issue, so get cozy and come on back in time with us.

FIND YOUR BURIED STORAGE
TAILORED LIVING
By Elizabeth Edwards
From roomy new-builds to closet-less last-century homes, the organizational specialists at Tailored Living in Traverse City are all about turning the chaos of stuff into lifestyle Zen. Two years ago, Robert and Sheryl Zimmerman asked their friend, Jeremy St. John, to join their new franchise of Tailored Living featuring Premier Garage, a Los Angeles-based, nationwide company. The Northern Michigan region that they service is diminutive compared to the populous urban areas where most of the company’s 200 other franchises are located. But the Zimmermans saw the need. Together, they have become evangelists for the psychological and emotional benefits of a well organized home. Both born and raised in Traverse City, Robert and Jeremy are passionate about Northern Michigan where there are a plethora of lovely preservation-worthy homes—with closets just big enough to hang a Sunday dress. Their mission? To prove there is always a way to create storage. Recently, we chatted with Jeremy to get a better picture of what Tailored Living can do:
Your company’s motto? We create calm from chaos. What are the symptoms of someone who needs your company’s help? If you can’t find your stuff … there is usually a tardiness element that goes along with that. BTW, that rule doesn’t apply to families with children under age 5. I have a 5-year-old and I can’t find my keys because they are in the bathtub ... If you walk into a room and feel more stressed than blessed. That especially applies to your bedroom because a cluttered room and/or a room that is polluted with a workstation can affect your sleep. People don’t call us unless they need us—when areas in their home have become a personal source of pain. The first thing I do is get the client to breathe. I tell them I’m not here because everything is awesome. Something needed to be fixed. And then I tell them to make it like they want it. It’s hard sometimes to be that selfish. ➤

But if they have the ability to envision it then Robert or I will help them translate their vision to reality. Robert is the lead designer and has the uncanny ability to create space where there is none. Seems like all the storage in the world can’t compensate for too much junk. Do you actually help people get rid of stuff? We are happy to help people get rid of stuff. I post a lot of articles on our Facebook page about how to decide what to get rid of and what to keep. We will go into people’s homes and help them. But it is a very personal space. We are very courteous, very professional but it still takes a lot of trust on the part of our clients. You work with all sizes of houses and all incomes? That’s the hardest message to send to Traverse City, because there is so much high-end building. Those are great jobs and a lot of fun. But the fact is that housing is at a premium here. I don’t care where you live; it is an expensive house because they all are here. We really love going into a small space that is a source of pain for somebody and turning it around and making it more usable. Make their life easier. So older homes … If there is closet space available we can better utilize that space. Most often it involves using the high area. We can hang clothes in a 10-foot ceiling and you’ll still be able to reach them—with with a pull-down bar.
Some older homes barely even have closets. What then? Yes. A lot of these houses were built when people had one change of clothes for church! Case in point: We did an attic closet for an older home on Cass Street in downtown Traverse City. We have tricks up our sleeves to make things accessible in these low-ceilinged rooms with their steep eaves. When we were done it ended up holding three times the clothes it would have without our design. We invented space. Garages are another potential for storage—and even living—space: Yes, I call it a transitional space. It’s perfect for the Man Cave or the She Shed thing. A good-looking garage (that you aren’t afraid to get dirty) makes your house bigger. And the best thing is that when you organize your garage you can actually fit your car into it. What’s the price tag for achieving the bliss of organization? It’s really, really tough to approximate. If you want the sleek modern glass-doors-and-drawers look, you can easily spend five to six thousand dollars. But I have brought pure functionality to a reach-in closet for three or four hundred dollars. The beauty of our on-site CAD design program is that we can tab out the jobs that need to be done. Then we can break it up over a course of a few years. You just call me every spring and say “Ok we’re ready for this one now. Northern Home & Cottage

n high school in Maryland, where he grew up, Steve Virostek got “one A one time,” on a paper he wrote about a short story by Ernest Hemingway. He claims it was one of the only A’s he ever got in school, which, believe him or not, doesn’t really matter much seeing as he co-founded and is principal at the successful Triumph Development, a real estate/construction firm with offices across the country. What does matter, is that the story—and the A—turned Steve into a Hemingway fan, of sorts. Fast-forward to his early 20s, just after he’d married Joanne, a woman whose family had a tradition of summering in Northern Michigan. Steve himself had fallen in love with our inland lakes and Lake Michigan shoreline the first time Joanne had invited him for the summer. On this particular visit, Joanne’s family had rented a home on Walloon Lake’s Sumner Road. When Joanne told him that the cottage next door had been built by Hemingway’s mother, Grace, Steve figured he’d better check it out. So, thinking it was abandoned, he cracked a beer and wandered over for a look. That didn’t sit well with the owner who was home at the time. “Before he ran me off, I realized what a special property it was,” Steve recalls. Turn the clock forward again to 2013 on a morning when Steve was waterskiing with a friend on Walloon Lake near where Sumner road ends. The friend nodded over to Grace Cottage and said, “You know that property is for sale.” No convincing was needed. Not long after, the Virosteks were owners of the property, known as Longfield Farm, where Grace cottage is set. Even before they closed on what had been the old Hemingway farm, the first decision for the couple was what to do with the cottage—a structure that any Hemingway aficionado would fight to preserve. But a builder, not so much. “It was pretty rough,” Steve remembers. “The porch was slack and not structurally sound. There had been animal damage over the years to the siding. The kitchen and bathroom were old. It was to the point where it was going to be a lot of money to fix up.” Working with Conquest Builders of Charlevoix, the couple set out to modernize the cottage while making every attempt to take it back visually to the early 20th century, when Grace Hemingway summered here—and her son Ernest would row over from Windemere, the family cottage across Walloon Lake to work on the farm. For recreation, he’d hike down Sumner Road to the tiny hamlet of Horton Bay where he became friends with the Dilworth family. Hemingway readers will remember the Dilworths from the Nick Adams stories that Hemingway penned in Paris where he and his new wife, Hadley, moved after their wedding in Horton Bay. And after they’d spent their first night as newlyweds in Grace Cottage.

Channeling the Hemingways, the Virosteks removed the brick fireplace facade (probably a 1950s addition) and replaced it with fieldstone—most likely what the original fireplace was. In the kitchen, they replaced formica countertops with wood and pulled up the 1960sera linoleum on the floor and replaced that with wood, as well. Steve found a circa-1930s farm sink (the oldest one he could find) and had it installed. “When our guests come they have a choice between staying in the big house or at Grace Cottage,” Steve says. “They invariably choose Grace Cottage.” About that big house. There was enough property at Longfield Farm for a modern home, but Steve and Joanne were determined that anything they built would have the period feel of Grace Cottage. After interviewing several architects the Virosteks settled on Ken Richmond of Richmond Architects of Traverse City. One signature of Richmond’s long, successful career has been his ability to translate the regional historic cottage vernacular into modernera second homes. “Ken got our vision right away,” Steve says. Finished in 2015, this lovely main house settles into its site as comfortably as if it were built in Hemingway’s era. The effect is a product of Richmond’s vision, paired with that of landscape architect Maureen Parker of Common Ground Landscapes, who Steve refers to as the “the site whisperer.”

The finished product is a four-bedroom home with a catwalk bridge that connects to a structure designed to look like a boathouse but that is outfitted with a man den on the first floor and guest quarters on the second. The home incorporates historically correct details from cedar shake siding, copper window frames, right down to the scupper—an open space for water to drain—that runs between the porch floor and railing. Indeed, that porch is the pièce de résistance of this home. Covered and a hundred feet long, it spans the front of the home, culminating at each end with small rotundas. “We live on it in the summer,” Steve says. “There are rockers across the front, and one end is for dining and the other has a porch swing and a fireplace.” As the homeowner and architect envisioned, the porch connects the home to the Walloon Lake setting—and to the historic sensibilities of Longfield Farm.

ot much about style and design escapes Hillary Voight, a warm and vivacious woman who has an arts background but is now a Realtor for the Traverse City-based firm, Venture Properties. So the irony of living in one of Traverse City’s most modern apartments—two walk-in showers, sleek kitchen, big windows—while she and her husband, Matt, searched for an older home in downtown Traverse City did not escape her. But the couple was clear on what they wanted: a real neighborhood with an oldfashioned community spirit. Matt, a talented furniture builder and third-generation carpenter, has his own eye for design, so the pair took their house-hunting mission seriously. Which is why it is so very ironic that they purchased a yellow-vinyl clad mess on Washington Street on the downtown’s east side. The hip-roofed bungalow, built in 1905, had been abused by renters for years and its address was well known by the Traverse City police department. “Tasers were used …,” Hillary says with a little laugh. Nevertheless, the home they would nickname Martha for its address on Washington Street, had several redeeming features, including its walkability to amenities including fabulous Lake Michigan beaches, Oryana natural foods co-op and Northwestern Michigan College where Hillary worked at the time as a graphic artist. But perhaps most important, Hillary recalls, were the welcoming vibes from the neighbor next door who came across the lawn to introduce herself when the Voights were first shown the home. But some skeptics, and there were plenty of them, just didn’t get it. “Some people were just plain blunt about it, saying things like, ‘This is what you bought?!’” Hillary says. The pair jumped into the ginormous renovation project with characteristic energy and a clear vision for a fresh modern home with a vintage soul. Out went almost all of the old windows and in went new energy-efficient Anderson windows. Off went the yellow siding— to reveal a flamingo pink paint job over some nice original board-siding that Matt added batten to. He went on to add cedar shake at the eaves, a dove-gray paint job and to replace the cement slab at the front door with an honest front porch. On the interior, they peeled and chiseled up two layers of linoleum (one with a flower motif, the other faux brick) from the kitchen and living room to uncover the original wood flooring—fir in the kitchen and oak in the rest of the home. They also removed a wall between the kitchen and formal dining room to create eating and gathering space in the kitchen—a room they gutted and refurbished with custom cabinetry that Hillary envisioned and Matt designed and built. An alder island top, custom hood, quartzite perimeter countertops (that look like marble but can withstand red wine and Bloody Mary spills), a subway-tile backsplash and touches of beadboard and shiplap on the walls round out this room’s cook and hang-out appeal.

Upstairs. Well, upstairs, they agree, caused the only tension between them in the entire project. Hillary was set on raising the ceilings. Matt told her that the lath and plaster would be a huge mess. They compromised on raising the ceilings in the two bedrooms and bathrooms, but keeping the low landing ceiling intact. Hillary was right, the three rooms are now light-filled and dramatic. Matt was right. They were up to their knees in a lath and plaster nightmare. Finished now, the home is a delight to live in. But the best part, the very best part of living in Martha, the couple says, is the neighborhood. There are summer block parties, holiday cocoa and wreath-hanging gatherings. In good weather, folks migrate to their front porches—with wine and extra glasses. The snug little backyard feels generous because there is a side gate in it that connects to the next yard, and the next yard has one that connects to the next yard and then that one to one more ‌ Elizabath Edwards is managing editor of Northern Home and Cottage. lissa@traversemagazine.com // Photos by Dave Speckman
