Beauty rests on necessities.

The line of beauty is the line of perfect economy.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803 -1882

Paul Maurer General Contracting has been building beautiful custom homes in the Grand Traverse Region for nearly 40 years, and during that time we have learned at lot. The most meaningful lesson learned is this– it’s all about what the homeowner wants, not what we want. We believe in listening carefully to our customers and then delivering on their vision. It’s the cornerstone for success.

editor’s note ELIZABETH EDWARDS

Serving Northern Michigan for over 30 Years

In the News A couple months back my friend and sometimes Northern Home & Cottage contributor, Khristi Zimmeth, asked if she could interview me for a story she was writing for The Detroit News on cottage style.

For 30 years with Traverse Magazine and Northern Home & Cottage, I have lived, moved and breathed this subject—touring hundreds and hundreds of Northern Michigan cottages along the way. I had so much fun responding I thought I’d share my answers to Khristi’s questions.

How would you describe the cottage look/vernacular?

Northern Michigan cottages come in all shapes, forms and styles. But there are characteristics that all the truly great quintessential cottages share. The cottage blends into the site rather than intruding on it. This is especially important given our world-class Up North landscape. There is an immediate connection between the structure and the landscape through windows, glass doors, terraces and outdoor rooms. Natural materials such as wood and stone are used (at least) on the exterior.

The scale is human—meaning the grandkids won’t get lost in the house!

The Shade is Cool,

the Look is Hot!

Let Advanced help you create beautiful and functional outdoor living spaces!

Domes & Traditional

Have you noticed any trends and/or interesting new products in the cottages you tour?

Folding glass doors that open up an entire room to the outdoors are absolutely magic. I’d also add high-end vinyl floors that look exactly like wood (Up North cottage owners tend to have children with sandy feet and dogs around a lot!), Cambria countertops that look like marble but hold up better and upholstery fabric that looks and feels like linen but can take a beating! And I can’t leave this subject without mentioning built-in bunk/loft beds for the kids and grandkids. Our Northern Michigan contractors have become pros at building them.

What has changed about decorating cottages?

I think the biggest change I’ve seen over 30 years is the move away from fussy interiors. Families are so busy now and an Up North cottage is their chance to reconnect and relax. Throwing open the doors and windows, turning up the sound system and having a family dance party in the kitchen is something I’ve heard a number of times!

Tell us about some of your all-time favorite cottages?

I have dozens of all-time loves. But I always say my most favorite are the ones I am doing stories on at the moment. Currently, I’m working on the June issue of Traverse Magazine/Northern Home & Cottage. I’m blown away by the lineup of stories—a spectacular 1880s Craftsmen redo on Lake Michigan near Charlevoix, a stunning modern-rustic home on Old Mission Peninsula, a beachy Shingle style on Crystal Lake and a contemporary lodge on Elk Lake. You gotta see this issue!

SUMMER IS HERE! WHICH BEGS THE QUESTION …

WHERE TO PUT THE HOUSEGUESTS?

BACKROADZ TRUCK TENT

By Elizabeth Edwards

ROWE FURNITURE / CAPRI FULL SLEEPER SOFA

SOFA BEDS Who: Mike Mahn, owner of Golden-Fowler Home Furnishings and Lakeside Marketing Mike, a Traverse City native, has owned Golden-Fowler Home Furnishings since 2008 but has worked there since 1992. Prior to that, he spent 10 years in the contemporary furniture business in Ann Arbor. With so much experience, we thought he’d be just the one to ask about what’s new with the age-old place to put guests: the pullout sofa.

Sofa bed, pullout bed, sleep sofa.

What’s the right term for these?

All of those plus hide-a-bed—that’s an old brand that’s become like Kleenex to tissue. When customers come in and ask for any of those, we go with the flow.

Seems like these beds have a bad rap.

That’s because…

Sofa beds have a notoriously bad reputation. They are heavy and hard to move and uncomfortable. There’s a bar that holds up the mattress when it is pulled out.

When they’re uncomfortable, that’s the bar you feel.

You sure aren’t selling me on them!

[Laughs] No, I guess I’m not. But the way to make them comfortable is to upgrade the mattresses. That’s why we make our own mattresses right here in Michigan under the brand name Lakeside. I specify all the materials. We have one style called the Marvelous Middle that is just thin enough to go into a pull-out frame.

So, you have the magic sofa bed cure!

Does that mean you sell a lot of them?

Oh yes. We recognize people up here need places for guests. What we call our Sleeper Season begins in March and runs through the Fourth of July. We have probably 20 different sleeper sofas in stock and provide delivery.

MURPHY BEDS Who: Jill Hutchinson, Design Consultant, Closets Plus Trained by California Closets in home-organizing solutions, Jill has worked for Closets Plus in Traverse City for six years. Murphy beds, sometimes called wall beds, are one of the many ways Jill helps her clients make efficient use of their space—including turning an office, den or even living room into a guest room.

Murphy beds, wall beds—they sound a bit complicated. How does the design-install process work?

I do an in-home visit to determine what design, what size and what orientation you need, then design it using CAD. We send the CAD specs to our factory in Holland, Michigan, and they have the bed to us in a week. We do the complete install—which can be a bit technical in terms of setting the tension of the springs according to the weight structure of the mattress. You don’t want the mattress to spring back up when you pull the bed down.

So their size can be customized.

But what do you mean by orientation?

They can pull down from the head or from the side so that you are laying perpendicular to the wall.

And you can bling them out, right?

Yes, you can pick your style cabinetry—color or stain. You can even get them outfitted with pullout desks attached or shelves on the side of the cabinet.

Let’s talk mattresses— are these beds comfortable?

Yes, they are comfortable. I have one and I actually slept on it for a couple years and it was great. We can supply the mattress or you can get your own. The only mattress that doesn’t work is a pillow top.

So, where do you store the bedding?

You can fold it right up in the bed.

I keep my bed made with sheets, quilt and pillow.

How popular are Murphy beds?

In the last five years we’ve really seen a resurgence of them. A lot of that has to do with people downsizing. If they want to have a bedroom double as an office, for example, they don’t want a bed taking up all the space. So the room serves your function, and when someone comes to visit they have a very comfortable bed.

Starting price?

About $3,000.

TRUCK TENTS Who: Stuart Christie, Brand Specialist, Napier Outdoors We couldn’t help falling in love with these cool tents made to snuggle right around your truck, SUV or minivan. Sure, they are made for sleeping out in the Northwoods, but what about as extra sleeping space for the grandkids when they visit? A step up from the old backyard tent, they keep kids (or adults!) off the wet, allergy-fueling ground.

We checked in with Napier’s Stuart Christie to get the deets.

“ U P N O R T H ” L I V I N G AT I T S B E S T !

These are made to fit on trucks, SUVs and minivans. How difficult is it to fit a tent to a specific vehicle?

The SUV, minivan model is one envelope. It has an elastic surround that makes it universal to any vehicle with a hatch. As for trucks, we have the specs to fit every model.

Do I need an engineering degree to set it up?

Definitely not. The first time you set it up it might take you around 20 minutes. After that, you can get it up and down in 10 minutes.

How portable and easy to store are they?

They come rolled up in a bag. The SUV model weighs between 20 and 25 pounds. The truck version weighs 15 pounds.

Now is the time ...

M A K E YO U R D R E A M C O M E T R U E for Waterfront Ownership!

Tamarack Lodge Specializing in Fractional Ownership Real Estate. Call or stop by today!

Roominess?

The truck tent has 5.5 feet of head room. The SUV model is actually an outside tent that can be 7.5 feet or higher.

I’m having enough guests this summer to justify a new wing on my house. But, no can do.

What is one of these going to set me back? $289 for the truck tent; $329 for the SUV tent.

Great American Classic AFTER A FAMILY FROM FLORIDA DISCOVERED NORTHERN MICHIGAN, THE RENOVATION OF THEIR 19TH-CENTURY COTTAGE MADE US LOOK EVEN BETTER. TEXT BY ELIZABETH EDWARDS // PHOTOS BY JENNA ROLAND

ncredibly, four years ago, the Florida-based owners of this magnificent 19thcentury cottage on Lake Michigan in Charlevoix knew virtually nothing about Michigan—especially Northern Michigan. Their dentist changed all that.

After hearing at their respective appointments of their four-year search to find the perfect summer home, the dentist waxed poetic about the sandy shoreline and blue water around his family’s cottage on Lake Michigan’s eastern shore. “If I were you I’d look there,” he told them.

It was nearing Thanksgiving weekend of 2016 and the husband was intrigued enough to purchase plane tickets to Traverse City. A snowstorm delayed their arrival by eight hours. (“This might go on the, ‘Just a little too hard to get to list,’” the wife recalls thinking.)

Then there was a stormy 40-mile drive up US31 to Petoskey—where the waves were crashing high up the sides of the Petoskey Pierhead Lighthouse. “The kids were cracking up, like, really?” the wife says, laughing now herself.

Nevertheless, by the end of the weekend, the family had fallen in love with the area, especially Charlevoix. “We love Charlevoix,” the wife says. “It is a magical place for our family and friends to visit.”

Back in Florida again, their Realtor sent them photos of an older cottage on Lake Michigan near Charlevoix that had just been listed. “It looked cozy,” the wife says. “It wasn’t a monstrosity. I didn’t want something so big that I’d have to ask, ‘Where are my kids?’”

This time, the husband went up alone to check it out—and called his wife after he’d seen the cottage to tell her, “I think you are going to like this.”

This was an early-last-century classic Craftsman cottage. Its wide front porch topped with a gabled roof, low-pitched gable main roof and generous eaves spoke to an era when the stuffy pretensions of Victorian cottages were giving way to a more relaxed lifestyle. Inside, however, the old home was suffering from a patchwork of renovations over the decades that conflicted with her intrinsic style. But the bottom-line selling point: A wide-open lake view from nearly every room in the house.

To make their dream home a reality, the couple hired MPN (Miller, Poineau & Naumes), a construction firm known for some of the finest work in Northern Michigan. Over the course of his decades working in the area, Andy Poineau, recently retired, garnered a reputation for exquisitely crafted homes that exude a period feel.

Andy’s talent combined with a skilled team presided over by Chris Miller, tackled the reno—from replacing supporting beams to rebuilding the rickety staircase with a handsome new version that winds from the ground floor up to the third. The interior was gutted down to the studs in most cases. Some walls were removed but much of the home’s original floor plan is preserved—as were some irreplaceable antique windows that are original to the home.

The homeowners were in on every design decision from materials to the fabulously intricate molding, wainscoting and coffered ceilings—though they happily yielded to Poineau’s advice when he gave it: “He’d say, ‘No, this is not what this home would have’, to some of my ideas,” recalls the wife. “After I’d say, ‘You were right.’”

A close collaboration between the homeowners and interior designer Jana Phillips resulted in fresh, contemporary design choices that seamlessly hint at this cottage’s journey—from the Arts & Crafts era (white oak floor, zinc breakfast nook table and hand-fabricated zinc range hood) to tell-tale Art Deco patterns in a bathroom wallpaper, and sofa cushions embellished with bright poppies that feel as timeless as a Beatles’ hit. The end result reads like a great American cottage classic—one that is ready for a whole new chapter.

s a very young child, Mark’s parents loaded him and his three older siblings into a station wagon to travel from their home in Saginaw to “try out” Northern Michigan lakes. The idea was to find one that the family would go back to summer after summer. It only took one visit to Crystal Lake for the family to form a lifelong commitment to this aquamarine gem of Benzie County.

His parents purchased their pretty ranch on the beach in the mid `60s. They never missed a summer with their kids, a tradition that those kids continued with their kids. To say they are a close-knit family is an understatement. The entire extended clan eats all of their meals together when they are at the lake.

But with his parents now great-grandparents, well, the family cottage was getting a bit crowded …

That’s about when Mark discovered a lot on Crystal Lake about a half mile from his parents. Empty lots on Crystal Lake’s north shore are few and far between. Even so, breaking up the tight clan was a big decision. But in the end, Mark and his wife, Anne, knew it was time.

And that if they were going to build their own Crystal Lake legacy, it had to be just the right house. But what should it look like? They really couldn’t imagine.

One look at the thoughtful, Shingle-style home that now graces that lot is to know that this is the right house, down to the shake siding that is stained a pale, almost indescribable shade of sage-aqua-gray—helping the home to blend into the Crystal Lake shoreline. The homeowners credit Midlake Builders with a flawless construction process and long conversations with their architect, Ken Richmond, for capturing the essence of their fondest summer memories in the design. “We sat down and just had an interesting conversation,” recalls Anne, who was raised in the East. “… what makes me comfortable, my history. He wanted to hear everything.”

Anne told of summers in Rhode Island and of cabin vacations in the Adirondack Mountains.

For a local reflection of that vernacular Richmond only needed to look a couple miles up the road to Chimney Corners Resort, where the main lodge is a historic shake-sided building famous for its four stone chimneys.

In response to Anne’s request that the bedroom wing be designed to keep sounds from the adjacent living area muted, Richmond placed a wonderful, hand-hewn chimney between the two wings. The chimney, fabricated from rocks culled from Michigan farm fields, is an outgrowth of the great room’s wall-sized fireplace facade—one so grand that it actually wraps around the wall, into the foyer, and clads one side of the open stairwell.

Yes, people sleep peacefully in the quiet bedroom wing.

And they live happily in the great room whose soft palette reflects the shades of sand and water on the Crystal Lake shoreline just outside the door. Like the stone fireplace and chimney, a generous use of flagstone in the foyer, white oak floor in the great room, wooden ceiling beams, and a rough-sawn bar counter between the kitchen and the dining room, reflect Richmond’s affection for natural materials.

In scale, this home slips into its narrow, shoreside site perfectly. In its relaxed flow and intimate understanding of what type of home builds generations of bonds between people and place, it is genius.

ver the course of several years, Tom and Liz Borger checked out roughly a thousand different lakefront properties from Ludington to Mackinac Island.

Ten years ago, the Elkhart, Indiana, couple headed down quiet Skegemog Lake Point—a road that runs between Elk and Skegemog lakes—and fell in love with a deep, forested lot. The bonus was a ridge from which they could enjoy sunsets across Elk Lake.

The Borgers cleaned up the old fishing cottage on the property and used it as a summer home until it was clear the old building was beyond repair. Luckily, Thomas is an architect who has built a reputation designing iconic lakefront homes from Chicago to Northern Michigan. During his long career, he’s found joy in using his design abilities to interpret his clients’ visions. So, when he was his own client, he had no trouble defining what he wanted out of a new home on Elk Lake—a vision he shared with Liz. The couple wanted their home to be an expression of their own tastes and sensibilities—that meant, among other details, it would blend into its wooded setting and have a strong connection to the outdoors. Also on their list was a great room large enough for their friends and family to gather. ➤

found the skill and talent to put Thomas’s design into timber and stone. Cascading down the wooded slope in five separate levels, this home is truly a masterpiece in serenity and detail. Tom’s exquisite use of detail and symmetry is apparent on the exterior with its handsome stone foundation, interesting rooflines and siding that is a textural mural of shingles, board and batten and shiplap—all stained a transparent charcoal that blends perfectly into the trees around the home.

On the inside, hickory floors, alder trim and a natural fireplace are backdrops to the dramatic Elk Lake view. And just as Tom planned, the home transitions to the outdoors with a large open-air room that centers around a fieldstone fireplace.

Several other patios offer more connection to the outdoors, as do two terraces set along the slope to the beach.

This is a magnificent home that abounds with design inspiration courtesy of a

Open risers with white oak treads and goat fencing balustrades lead up to a white oak catwalk that connects a guest room and an office, both of which are outfitted with balconies.

One of Kendra’s unmistakable touches shines up here where a generous skylight, which opens a view to the water, is mounted with drywall-wrapped trusses to create changing architectural shadows.

Another touch is as utilitarian as it is evocative of the structure’s spirit. When the Dubenskys leave the home, they pull barn doors—a set each on both the front and back of the home—across the glass walls, leaving their home secure both physically and in its designed sensibility.
