HELLO

I

met a woman last summer whose golden retriever was the 11th puppy in the litter, so she named him “Leven.â€? As I try to get my head around having to learn to type “2011â€? when my ďŹ ngers still stumble over “2010â€? on the keyboard, I think about his wagging tail and it makes me smile. Also, because of the odd timing of magazine production, I’m writing this as snow urries blow past my window, and it feels as if half of the city has already taken o for Thanksgiving. So I’m also thinking about gratitude—and gathering about a warm ďŹ re with friends.

In October 2011, Seattle Homes & Lifestyles will turn 15—which is quite a milestone in publishing these days. Of course we could never have made it this far without you, our loyal readers, who have followed us in print for so long. ! Our online presence, SeattleHomesMag.com, which lets us bring you more stories, more photos and our archives. " Social media: Facebook and Twitter let us keep in touch with you on a much more interactive and immediate basis. # Our Design Dish blog, which is kept up to date by our entire team, but primarily SH&L Associate Editor Angela Cabotaje. $ Two more Graphic Design USA awards, recognizing the talent of SH&L Art Director Shawn Williams, speciďŹ cally for the design of our January/February 2010 issue and the SH&L sta business cards.

% SH&L publisher Cathy Fitzer, who joined the team in June 2010 and whose enthusiasm and positive attitude inspire everyone on the sta. & All of the magazine’s friends, from advertisers to sources to writers and photographers who contribute to our pages. ' My decision to have my home insulated last summer—thanks to our current cold spell I can tell it makes a dierence. Living in one of the most beautiful places in the country, where design professionals embrace that, and create work as beautiful as that of Mother Nature. And, because this is Seattle, I’m grateful for fresh ground coee. Every day. IN THIS ISSUE, we feature the winners of our annual Kitchen of the Year contest (pages 54–66). We got so many great entries for this year’s competition that we couldn’t choose just one winner, so we decided to have two. One is a modern-meets-traditional remodel in a historic Capitol Hill home (page 54) and the other is an eclectic contemporary kitchen— also a remodel—in a Seward Park home (page 60). I love both projects for their interesting details, great storage solutions and fearless use of color. We also feature a Capitol Hill remodel (page 42) and a Bridle Trails garden (page 48). Also between the covers: Market Editor Stacy Kendall reveals some great vintage—and vintage-lookâ€”ďŹ nds in Trend (page 24); Randy Altig shares his favorite cozy winter recipe and we visit some local distillers in our At the Table stories (page 34); our Green Living article (page 72) takes us inside another kitchen, this one a sustainable remodel in West Seattle; and Right Now (page 96) is all about our favorite small kitchen appliances. I may not remember to type the digits properly, but we’re deďŹ nitely ready for 2011!

THE BEGINNING OF EACH NEW YEAR is an opportunity to hit the refresh button on our lives and redeďŹ ne our personal and professional aspirations. We challenged 11 local interior designers to focus on their craft and share with us their design resolutions for 2011. Here is a mix of ideas that we hope will inspire you to start this year with a bang!

A local company stands behind the quality of their workmanship and their products. A client is not just an address but a person that deserves the best in both quality and service. So when we

“For 2011, I would like to focus more on environmentally responsible design but more so in a holistic manner. Instead of simply selecting greener materials for projects, I will focus on creating designs that are not trendy but timeless and will remain fresh and have a lasting impact aesthetically and environmentally.� Garrett Cord Werner, LLC, 3132 Western Ave., (206) 749-9019, garretcordwerner.com

“At the top of my list for 2011 is to take a trip to Provence to go antiquing. The south of France is an excellent resource for antiques and inspiration. We would like to stay in Le Prince Noir, a remarkable, rustic bed-andbreakfast, and visit the Picasso Museum. Closer to home, I have some ideas for products that I’d like to use in design projects: glass pendant lights designed by Caleb Siemon, hand-painted silk de Gournay wallpaper, Lee Jofa Threads fabric, Valtekz-vinyl fabric in Moray Cadet Blue.� Amely Wurmbrand Designs, (206) 542-0447, amelydesigns.com

“For the new year, I want to encourage my clients to simplify: Living with less is more. Simply start by surveying what you have and determine what are keepers, and let go and donate other items. I also want to encourage people to invest in art and to support the art community. You can build a whole room around a piece of artwork. It reveals the homeowner’s personality, and often a project is not truly ďŹ nished until art objects have been personally selected by the homeowner. Surrounding yourself with something that makes you happy oers an immediate good feeling and sense of gratiďŹ cation, which is especially important during these times.â€? Van Biene Interiors, LLC, 2000 124th Ave. N.E., Ste. B-102, Bellevue, (425) 646-9009, hvbinteriors.com

/[ÂĄ 0OYS` 7\bS`W]` 2SaWU\ 7\Q “Recessions are important. Slowing down and taking time to focus on marketing, oďŹƒce organization and past clients who have small items that need to be completed are great ways to nurture the long-term needs of a design business. I’ve done all of these things over the last two years and am in a great position to carry a full project load in 2011. It is time to get busy! I also want to use more white. This may be hard to believe, but in my 20-plus years as a designer I’ve never been a big fan of white. I built my career perfecting color and osetting it with rich creamy whites. In 2008, a client insisted her master suite be true white (we actually did Benjamin Moore Cloud White) and it looks so fantastic. I’m a convert, and I look forward to working with white in 2011.â€?

“This year I would like to establish a design blog to celebrate the joy of design and as a means for providing design inspiration for myself and others. I have noticed over the past few years a rise in do-it-yourselfers, and I would like to implement into my business a way to provide professional design guidance to those individuals. People seem to want to do more design projects themselves, but they lack the conďŹ dence to make design decisions, [so] I feel that people could beneďŹ t from my over 30 years of experience in the ďŹ eld.â€?

I also want to try to incorporate more fresh owers into my life. They instantly brighten my home during the winter months.â€?

U STAIR PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY SEATTLE STAIR & DESIGN

WRITTEN BY RACHEL GALLAHER PORTRAIT BY HANK DREW

ll artists have a moment when they realize they want to turn their passion into a career. For Shawn Christman, owner of Seattle Stair & Design, a company that specializes in creating custom staircases, that moment came 33 years ago at age 26 as he traveled through New England and French Canada. “I ended up in a commercial building that had the most curvaceous, sensual walnut handrail,” Christman recalls. He realized then that he didn’t have the expertise to build that handrail, but he knew he wanted to learn how. Back in Seattle, Christman had already served as an apprentice for six years at a local woodmilling shop, but it was the trip back east that gave him the motivation to establish his own business. “I started the company back in 1978 with not much more than a tape measure, a tool belt, a drill and a miter saw in the trunk of my car.” More than 30 years later, Seattle Stair & Design has expanded in both size and reputation. Most of the work is still done by hand using the centuries-old shop-built system (stair components are crafted in-shop then assembled on-site), but the company now has a 10-person staff, a showroom and a workshop in Sodo. Seattle Stair & Design also has amassed an impressive portfolio of projects, including the steel-and-glass stairs at Barneys New York’s Seattle location and the sleek mahogany handrails in the Bellevue Hyatt. The company also designs staircases in various styles for private residences around the country. Christman recalls an elliptical staircase he crafted for a DennyBlaine residence. “[It] was meant to look as though it was from a French château and had been standing for 300 years,” he says. “It was white oak and had hand-forged iron balustrades … and a wonderful little Juliet balcony off one of the bedrooms.” For Christman, working with his clients is the most rewarding part of the job. “I think [this work]

lmost every fall and winter when I was growing up, my grandparents would take me to the Oregon coast for our annual weekend adventure. During the drive through golden maples and blue spruce, I anticipated our arrival in the quaint seaside town of Cannon Beach. Our ďŹ rst stop would be Bob’s Bait and Tackle, where we would load up the car with ďŹ shing poles, crab pots and lobster traps. Our next stop was our secret ďŹ shing spot nestled between layers of driftwood and rocks, just below the dramatic seaside clis. After several hours of ďŹ shing and a few attempts to land a big catch, we’d pack it up and head over to Katie’s Cajun Creole and Fish House. Inside a turn-of-the-century log home overlooking the bay, Katie’s featured pine tables and a large river-rock-andbeach-stone ďŹ replace. Warming our hands by the ďŹ re, I’d always order the “famous Cajun lobster pot pie,â€? described on the menu as “Comfort for the Soul.â€? Even as time has passed, I have never forgotten those days at the coast. Although many things have changed (and both Bob’s and Katie’s are no longer in business), I can bring those fond memories to life by making my own lobster pot pies and sharing them with family and friends. That brings comfort to my soul.

2 tablespoons plus ½ cup unsalted butter, divided 3 cups chopped leeks 1 cup chopped shallots 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup chopped carrots Âź cup all-purpose our 2 cups peeled, diced russet potatoes 2 cups seafood stock (from your local ďŹ sh store) 2 teaspoons lemon zest

1 ½ teaspoons Old Bay seafood seasoning ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning ⠄ď™? teaspoon ground red pepper 1 cup frozen peas 1 pound cooked fresh lobster, chopped into bite-sized pieces 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts 1 large egg, beaten

1: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, shallots, celery and carrots; cook ďŹ ve minutes. Stir in our; cook one minute. Add potatoes, stock, lemon zest and seasonings; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat. 2: Melt remaining ½ cup butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook three or four minutes, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. Stir browned butter, frozen peas and lobster into vegetable mixture. 3: Roll out pie crusts on a wooden cutting board. Invert the 10-ounce ramekins onto the pie crusts and cut around them with a sharp knife to make the pastry tops. Spoon lobster mixture evenly into ramekins. Brush edges of pie crust circles with egg; place one circle, egg side down, over the lobster mixture in each ramekin, pressing down to seal edges. Pinch each rim to secure the dough and create a ďŹ nished edge. Brush tops with egg, and cut two slits in each crust to vent. Place on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet. 4: Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot from the oven and enjoy!

SOFT TAIL SPIRITS

What began as a trip to Italy for Dennis Robertson sparked an interest in grappa, an Italian-heritage brandy made from pressed wine grapes. A business partnership led to hiring distillers and sales employees, and in 2008 Robertson’s company, Soft Tail Spirits, became western Washington’s first licensed craft distillery. Now, while producing grappa, Soft Tail Spirits also develops vodkas from Washington state apples. “The Washington apple is an iconic item for our state, but our vodka is also gluten-free and very clean, with just a hint of sweetness at the finish,” Robertson says. Soft Tail Vodka has since received recognition for its smooth taste, winning a bronze medal in the 2010 San Francisco World Spirits competition.

BAINBRIDGE ORGANIC DISTILLERS Keith Barnes and his son Patrick were passionate about great whiskey and had always wanted to start their own business, so when the state began licensing craft distilleries, they did just that, launching Bainbridge Organic Distillers in 2009. Bainbridge Organic Distillers makes its whiskey, vodka and gin in small batches in order to have more control over the quality of the end product. “We use no computerized equipment,” Barnes explains. The distillery also takes pride in using only organic ingredients. “The grain for our vodka comes from a farm in Walla Walla County, and our whiskey grain comes from the Dungeness Estuary region,” Barnes says.

SOUND SPIRITS

Close friends Orlin Sorensen and Brett Carlile started their distillery with the help of a retired Maker’s Mark distiller, who mentored them in creating their own bourbon whiskey. Now Woodinville Whiskey Co. is a 100 percent U.S. Department of Agriculture–certified organic distillery, and Sorensen and Carlile keep the production process within Woodinville (90 percent of the grain they use is grown in Washington). Woodinville Whiskey Co. uses traditional 53-gallon barrels as well as technologically advanced handcrafted equipment to create a whiskey that doesn’t need a barrel-aging cycle. “We use microbarrel aging, and the result is a very smooth, batch-consistent, flavorful product compared even to a wellaged whiskey,” Sorensen says.

Boeing engineer Steven Stone, who had an interest in cocktail culture, created Sound Spirits with the financial backing and support of close friends and family. “I saw a movement sweeping other parts of the country in the microdistillery business and wanted to be a part of it,” Stone says. With inspiration from the 1800s distillery era, Stone’s goal was to bring back spirits that are not as well-known today. Ebb + Flow Vodka is a single-malt barley vodka made with 100 percent Washington barley. “We don’t filter our vodka, and in doing so we allow a touch of the natural malt flavor and sweetness to come through,” Stone explains.

he home on the corner lot of this Capitol Hill street is stately and refined—everything you might expect from a 1906 Victorian. Yet the leaded-glass windows, picturesque turrets and charming front porch suggest little about the playful, relaxed vibe inside. Homeowners Randy and Sage had outgrown their previous house in the Green Lake area and were searching for one that would fit the needs of their two young children. After searching for two months, they discovered the one on Capitol Hill, but it wasn’t love at first sight. While the home had the space they wanted and was big on character, it also had a few less-than-desirable features that made Randy and Sage hesitate. An overgrown hedge outside seemed standoffish and obscured most of the windows on the first floor, giving the main living area the feel of a dimly lit basement. The home’s

closed-off floor plan lost points for lacking functionality, and the décor was as Victorian as could be with lace, heavy drapes and dark, gothic wallpaper. “We were nervous about it,” Sage recalls. “We were wondering if we could make it our own or if it would always be fussy and Victorian.” Fortunately, Randy and Sage had a good friend who could help: architect Matt Hutchins, principal of CAST architecture. Hutchins had helped them remodel their previous home, and they knew that if anyone could make this house work for them, it was him. “I went out there and took a look at it and gave them an idea of what would be involved and what the real opportunities and possibilities were,” Hutchins says. “It was obviously a classic diamond in the rough.” With that reassurance, Sage and Randy went ahead and purchased the house and contacted interior designer SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM JAN. & FEB. 2011

THE NEW KITCHEN IS FRESH AND MODERN WITH TRANSPARENT UPPER CABINETS, A CLEAN COLOR PALETTE AND FUSSFREE FIXTURES. opposite: THE KITCHEN AND DINING ROOM ARE RANDY AND SAGE’S FAVORITE SPACES IN THEIR REMODELED HOME. THEY KEPT SOME CHARMING FEATURES FROM THE ORIGINAL HOME AND WENT WITH WHIMSICAL DESIGN ELEMENTS ELSEWHERE TO ADD A MODERN FLAIR.

Lauren Ferraro of Gregory Carmichael Interior Design and contractor Dave Arnold of Mt. Si Construction to round out their dream-home team. “The goal of the design from early on was to update it and suit the modern sensibilities and the needs of a young family,” Ferraro explains. “We also wanted to preserve the character of the house but not have it be stodgy and seem old-fashioned,” Hutchins adds. With help from Avalon Northwest Landscape, they uprooted the monstrous, 12-foot-tall hedge, which wrapped from the front of the house around one side. They also added a covered porch in back, perfect for grilling outside even on rainy Seattle days. A whitepainted arbor and wrought-iron fence look much more inviting than the hedge wall but still provide some privacy in the side and back yards. Then attention turned to reworking the cramped, turn-of-the-century floor plan to better fit Randy and Sage’s family-oriented lifestyle. A wall between the kitchen and dining room was knocked down to create an open living space that easily flows from one area to the next. Randy and Sage both enjoy cooking, so Hutchins enlarged the kitchen to triple its original size and added a set of French doors for easy access to the porch out back. Ferraro heeded the homeowners’ request for clutter-free, kid-friendly décor. In the living room, the bay-window bench seat has pullout drawers underneath for easy toy storage and white cushions covered in resilient and washable outdoor fabric. A Lapchi floral area rug adds graphic appeal and is also durable (“Whatever we’ve spilled has come up so far,” Sage says). Even the paint was tested and chosen for its resiliency (Randy and Sage’s son demonstrated this by drawing on the walls with red marker, which came off after a bit of scrubbing). The dining room and kitchen are equally livable. Ferraro found a lightly scratched Gulassa dining table at a secondhand furniture store and bought it on the spot. Randy and Sage opted not to refinish it so they wouldn’t have to worry about adding extra dings or marks over the course of daily life. Aqua leather on the dining chair seats is easy to wipe, and the Love Letter pendant lamp above the table is youthful and customizable— Randy and Sage hang their children’s artwork from it. In the kitchen, white cabinets and dark counter tops keep the look clean and understated,

except for a show-stealing cherry-blossom mosaic backsplash. “They both have their own great sense of style, but they also don’t take anything too seriously,” Ferraro says of the homeowners. “They are so gutsy and playful.” The homeowners mixed modern and traditional elements without fear: graphic pink wallpaper with wainscoting in the dining room, a glass-orb Bocci light with a curved wood fireplace surround in the living room and a faux bison head with stained glass in the entryway. In homage to the previous incarnation of their home, Randy and Sage opted to leave the powder room on the first floor—brass fixtures, floral wallpaper and all—untouched. “We wanted to honor as many of those little things that the owner took care in preserving,” Sage says. “The funny nooks, the little window seats just make it a different place but add some character that is hard to come by these days.” Now, more than a century after it was first built, the Victorian on the corner still has all the charm and character of its original form. For Randy and Sage, it’s the perfect mix of modern and traditional, refined and relaxed, whimsical and functional. Most of all, it’s the perfect home.

trong connections between a planned landscape and the house it surrounds, and between the plan and the broader landscape that surrounds it, make a design stand apart from the norm. These connections move it from merely suitable to a cohesive environment. Such is the case at a property in the Bridle Trails neighborhood of Bellevue. When the homeowners asked Jason Breitling of Cambium Inc. for “more wild, less style” in the design of their garden, the phrase became the theme that guided the crafting of a landscape that lives as comfortably with the family- and dog-friendly home as it does with the Northwest native woodlands of nearby Bridle Trails State Park. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, the Cambium project manager and designer began with a well-established 1.5-acre landscape that had been planted by the previous homeowners. At the request of the current homeowners, Breitling retained paths on the east side of the house, including a Japanese-style bridge across a dry streambed, and moved

several large old rhododendrons and azaleas around the property, the better to view their architectural multistemmed forms. Also at the homeowners’ request, he dismantled a concrete retaining wall that had been in full view from the house, across the auto court. Instead of the wall, there is now a planted slope and steps that lead to the shared path that provides the neighborhood, which has no sidewalks, access to the state park. The home, designed by architect Christopher Keyser and built by Anderson Construction Group, is an extensive remodel of the original 1970s house. Keyser’s design met the homeowners’ wishes for a connection between the garage and house and their desire to bring a bit of nature indoors. They can hear the rain on the roof in the master bedroom, and large windows give visual access to the garden even on wet winter days. “Architects want to incorporate the outside into the house, and we want to incorporate the inside into the outdoors,” Breitling says of the finished landscape.

extends onto a large terrace on the north side of the house, but partway across the terrace the straight-edged pieces of slate evolve into irregular flagstone, signaling a move from design to nature. Breitling’s changes to the landscape continue to blur the lines between house and garden. Closer to the house the landscape is more designed and set in vignettes, but gradually it gives way to the more representative Northwest scene of conifers and understory shrubs. The garden “acts as a bridge between the house and the greater landscape,” Breitling says. With 482-acre Bridle Trails State Park nearby and native conifers throughout the homeowners’ property, Breitling kept his plant palette mostly restricted to Northwest natives and plants with an affinity to the Northwest in form and effect. The shady undergrowth suits oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) as well as large drifts of variegated Japanese forest grass (Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’); its bright yellow foliage “brings light down to the ground plane,” Breitling explains. “It’s really a four-season garden,” the homeowner says. The quiet winter garden is preceded by fall color from Japanese maples and followed by a profusion of spring flowers from thousands of bulbs; summer glory appears in swaths of daisies and bountiful containers. Throughout the year, standing sentinel at the top of the drive is a carving of Notus, the Greek god of the south wind. Northwest woodcarver Layton Kiblinger created the piece from a dead cedar tree. Carved in place and retaining his own roots for stability, Notus had stood at the top of the concrete-block retaining wall; when the wall was dismantled, Notus was moved south so that he could be seen on the approach up the drive. Now well grounded in a concrete base, Notus continues to keep watch and welcome visitors. The homeowners make good use of the large terraces, wood deck and open traffic pattern created by the merging of inside and out. Even the dogs get their own traffic pattern: A dog door from the kennel gives wirehaired pointer Grover and flat-coat retriever Bazzle access to their own room built into the garage space. Such large and small elements help to create a landscape that can be enjoyed with guests or privately. The upstairs balcony and terraces provide views of the garden as it blends into the property’s natural woodlands. A more private view is that of a tile mosaic, created by local artist Liz Cross and installed on the inside of a screen wall, visible only from the master bath. The success of the design shows in its ability to meet the needs of the homeowners: From entertaining spaces to native forest, their landscape retains the best of the old garden’s design and plants, and it sits comfortably in the greater Northwest landscape.

ho says you can’t teach an old house new tricks? David and Dana fell in love with a brick Georgian-style house in the Capitol Hill neighborhood eight years ago, but they knew it would require some work, including a whole kitchen remodel. So they gave their historic home some contemporary updates—while respecting its traditional qualities. The kitchen had been halfheartedly redone by previous owners over the years, but the layout was inefficient and the room had some odd quirks. The floor tiles lifted up sometimes, and the kitchen was relatively isolated— and didn’t get any heat—from the rest of the house. “It had its own charm, but it was not a well-functioning kitchen,” Dana recalls. “Our style is pretty eclectic,” David says. “We fell in love with the house because of its scale and strong lines, but we wanted to update it while still respecting the house’s age.” With two wishes in mind—better function and a dynamic style—the homeowners called on Seattle’s Bosworth Hoedemaker, LLC, to design their new kitchen. Working with architect Steve Hoedemaker and associate Heather Comeau Cromwell, they hoped to strike a perfect balance between their modern-eclectic sensibilities and the classical lines of the home’s Georgian architecture. “Basically, David and Dana found themselves to be modernists living in an old house, and we wondered how the kitchen could be respectful of both things,” Hoedemaker says. Stylistically, the new kitchen has elements both modern and historic. Although stainless-steel counter tops and drawers are widely used in contemporary or commercial kitchens, the homeowners actually brought them in as a nod to the past. “My grandmother had stainless-steel counter tops in her kitchen, and we really loved that,” David says. Contrasting—and complementing—the stainless steel is lightly veined white marble atop the center island, which also features a removable wooden cutting board made from a piece of David and Dana’s old kitchen table. Another way the team integrated traditional elements was by keeping the design of the windows consistent with the home’s original Georgian style and replicating the crown and base molding found throughout the house. Open shelving on the entire wall above the sink, including across the windows, provides space for Dana to display her collection of West German pottery, while letting light shine through the windows. “The kitchen is the only white room in the house, and my dishes and vases add a pop of color,” Dana says.

(Red, a recurring element throughout the house, is also the color of the front door.) In one wall adjacent to the sink, a black magnetic chalkboard serves as the pantry door, which often displays notes, doodles and drawings. “They were open to doing things dierently, so we were able to have some fun with the design,â€? Hoedemaker says. TO IMPROVE THE KITCHEN’S FUNCTIONALITY, the architects designed drawers in the center island to open from either side. They also included double ovens, a pot-ďŹ ller faucet at the stove and a second pantry in the vestibule o the kitchen. Hoedemaker and Cromwell also created a built-in bench in the corner of the room for extra seating. “Everybody congregates in the kitchen, so now people are comfortable sitting and

socializing while we cook,â€? Dana explains. The couple often host casual parties for friends and family and have entertained as many as 12 family members—including a new grandson—for Thanksgiving. “For us it was a great opportunity to work with an elegant house with great proportions and [with] clients with good taste and a sense of adventure,â€? Hoedemaker says. “[It was] a combination that came together to create a perfect project.â€? Once an awkward space with no cohesive style, the kitchen now provides a crucial gathering place for the homeowners and creatively reects their personal style and the signiďŹ cance of a nearly 100-year-old structure. “They absolutely got it,â€?

espect for history, recurring patterns and materials, abundant natural light and thoughtful built-ins combine to make the kitchen remodel in this 1927 Tudor-style home work both aesthetically and functionally for a Seward Park family of four. Betina Simmons and her husband, Ian Blaine, purchased their home in 1999, but had recently learned that it needed foundation work, which represented a substantial investment. After “a lot of soul searching,â€? Betina says, they decided because they loved their neighborhood they would make this “10-year anniversary gift to the houseâ€?—and take this opportunity to make it work better for their family. That meant improving the ow and function of the old kitchen, opening up the dark dining room and making the food preparation, eating and family spaces into one large, warm and inviting room. Betina and Ian have

two sons, ages 6 and 8, as well as an extended family in the Seattle area. “We wanted a gathering area,â€? Betina recalls. “We envisioned one contiguous space that really lent itself to entertaining.â€? On the advice of a friend, they contacted J.A.S. Design Build in early 2008. The J.A.S. team included lead designer Sharyn Wooten, Kaari Wallerich (interiors), Nicole Dumas (lead carpenter) and Charlie Rush (cabinet installation). The project’s numerous cabinets were all created in the J.A.S. Design Build Cabinet Shop. “What they had wasn’t working for them,â€? Wooten summarizes, noting that it’s a familiar story for this design-build ďŹ rm that has completed more than 380 remodels in the past ďŹ ve years. “They had outgrown the space. The kitchen just wasn’t very functional, and it needed to be remodeled or changed. It really wasn’t suiting the way that they lived.â€? One of the homeowners’ goals was to make the space better match their lifestyle. Both Betina and Ian love to cook, and their spacious yard

includes a large garden where avid gardener Betina grows flowers and vegetables. The original layout for the house didn’t provide the connection they wanted to outside, and the galley kitchen was blocked off from the eating and living areas. “We didn’t need a huge house, [or] a ton more room,” Betina explains. “Mostly it was the change in the configuration that made the biggest impact.” “Initially, the first thing we’ll look at is space planning to meet [the homeowners’] goals, and from there, develop the style and talk through how we can meet their goals,” Wooten explains. “Betina and Ian had a really clear vision of what they liked. It was certainly a partnership to get to the end result.” The overall project added approximately 300 interior square feet to the first floor of the house as well as a large deck. The expansion—which pushed out the south side of the house by about 9 feet—increased the size of their main living spaces. The new kitchen flows smoothly into the dining and family rooms. An adjacent pantry neatly stores dry goods and appliances. Throughout the remodel, the J.A.S. team worked to integrate the new with the old, choosing finishes and materials that complemented the original house. “It’s really important to me to make sure the remodel has a consistency with the unaltered parts of the house,” Wooten says. For example, new double-paned windows in the kitchen were custom made by Lindal to match the proportion and detailing of the existing single-

pane leaded-glass windows in the rest of the house. For their part, the homeowners appreciated the design-build team’s attention to detail and style. “It was a good collaboration,” Betina says. “Sharyn really got a sense of who we are, and our styles just meshed really well. They have a good sense of color—that’s one of the things J.A.S. does really well.” On the design side, Wooten was similarly appreciative: “It’s really fun to work with a client who is willing to use some color … and is not afraid of it,” she notes. “Betina and Ian were comfortable with their own aesthetic while also keeping an open mind to new ideas and a fresh direction, which made the process and relationship thoroughly enjoyable: a best-case scenario.” “Their aesthetic really matched with what we wanted—sort of classic but with an eclectic twist,” Betina says. “I wanted something that would honor the origins of the house but a little bit more modern—charming without being cute.” In February 2009, about six months after construction began, Betina, Ian and their sons moved back into the remodeled space. (“They were on time and on budget, and that was nice,” Betina notes.) “We just enjoy the space so much because we can all be here together doing different things: homework, entertaining, cooking,” Betina says. “We hardly use the rest of the house now.” For resource information, see Sources on page 94.

hen they purchased their 1906 Capitol Hill home, the owners knew it had great bones but needed a lot of work. “The kitchen was very out of date, small and not well designed,” the wife explains. With help from Susan Ingham of KASA Architecture and Blake Takamura of Catalyst Design Studio, the space was transformed from cramped and outdated to open and contemporary. THE SOLUTION: The original kitchen had a lot of potential, Ingham explains, but was cut off from the rest of the living areas on the main floor. To open up the space, they knocked down part of an existing wall to create an archway to the dining room and expanded the kitchen into an area pre-

viously occupied by the back deck. Windows that wrap on three sides of the room provide plenty of natural light and contribute to the open feel. Ingham and Takamura interwove modern and traditional elements to fit the owners’ lifestyle while maintaining the integrity of the century-old house. Traditional materials—fir and marble—were used for the cabinetry, counter tops and backsplash but the overall look was kept minimal and modern with clean lines and sleek finishes. What was previously a cold, dark space is now warm and inviting. “It has a nice feel to it—it feels clean and light and inspires one to cook,” the wife says. “It is definitely where everyone ends up gravitating toward in our house.” For resource information, see Sources on page 94.

FLOODED TO FABULOUS

k

WRITTEN BY RACHEL GALLAHER PHOTOGRAPH BY BENJAMIN WOOLSEY

hen the record snowfall of 2008 caused a devastating flood in the basement of Mark and Martha Jenkins’ Kirkland home, the couple turned tragedy into triumph. They embarked on a remodel, eliminating a dated brick fireplace and brightening the space.

THE SOLUTION: “We made lemonade out of lemons,” Martha explains, describing the remodel born from flood damage. “I love my new fireplace. I always wanted to get rid of the old brick one, and we would have never done that if it wasn’t for the flood.” With the help of Amie Henson of Hilary Young Design, the basement was transformed from two smaller rooms into one large entertainment area with white oak floors and ivory paint on the walls. Martha, who likes a simple, traditional look, had originally thought about painting the brick fireplace, but the contractor, Chateau Fireplaces, suggested boxing it in with drywall then giving it a cast-concrete face, leaving the original herringbone firebox intact. Built-in shelving to the left of the fireplace provides space for the Jenkins to showcase art objects they’ve picked up in their extensive travels. “Martha had collected several art pieces that were more whimsical,” Henson explains. “This was an opportunity to use them and make [the basement] not feel so dark and dreary, but really add life and color.” Ample seating now lets the couple entertain comfortably. “They’ve had several get-togethers since the remodel and she’s thrilled with how the space functions, how it feels and how seamlessly it flows with the rest of the house,” Henson reports.

GREEN LIVING

Built-in bookshelves offer additional storage space and keep counter tops clutter-free. ✺ Architect Sheri Newbold learned much of what she knows about green building from energy-efficiency group Northwest Eco-Friendly Guild. ✺ The mosaic-tile backsplash created by homeowner Jennifer Bartlett ties together the kitchen’s color scheme.

WRITTEN BY CARI TROTTER PHOTOGRAPHS BY HANK DREW

WHEN SISTERS JENNIFER AND WENDY BARTLETT decided to remodel their cramped and outdated 1908 kitchen in West Seattle, they wanted the process to be as energy efficient and sustainable as possible. “Living in Seattle, it is our nature to be green when it makes sense,” Jennifer explains. For help, they approached architect Sheri Newbold of live-work-play, a firm that regularly practices sustainable design. “When Jennifer and Wendy hired me, I asked them how far we could go with green,” Newbold recalls. The Bartletts told her to go green when it was possible and when it made sense within their budget. To give Jennifer and Wendy a large kitchen ideal for entertaining, Newbold created an addition on the west side of the home using Forest Stewardship Council–certified wood for the framing and low-maintenance Hardie lap siding and shingles for the exterior. New energy-efficient windows and extra insulation cut down on heating and cooling costs.

Inside, Newbold added plenty of cabinets for extra storage and work space and used PaperStone, a sustainable material made entirely from recycled materials, for the counter tops. To add color in the kitchen—another of Jennifer and Wendy’s priorities—Newbold chose red for the lower cabinets, yellow for the upper cabinets and robin’s-egg blue for the butler’s pantry and built-in bookcase. Jennifer also injected some personality to the space by creating a mosaic backsplash using stained-glass tiles. “It’s fun to be courageous with color,” Newbold says. “The look of the kitchen with the color is very vibrant,” Jennifer adds. “Jennifer and Wendy really believed in this project, and they are very invested in this home,” Newbold says. Now the sisters enjoy entertaining in their new contemporary kitchen—and the fact that they created it in a sustainable way.

J=@@5;9 6M H<9 G<CF9 MADISON PARK is one of Seattle’s most desirable residential neighborhoods. Located just east of Capitol Hill, the area spans less than one square mile and contains two public parks, one beach and a top-rated elementary school, making it an attractive area in which to live and play. In the early 1800s, Madison Park was a largely forested area along the shore of Lake Washington that was occupied by the Duwamish Indians. Early developers in newly founded Seattle recognized the area’s potential as a residential community, but during the settlement’s early years, the area was primarily popular as a picnic and recreational destination. In the mid-1860s, Judge John J. McGilvra, one of Seattle’s most prominent legal professionals, built the ďŹ rst permanent home there, prompting the community’s transformation from recreational spot to a residential area. Another milestone for Madison Park was the establishment of one of Seattle’s leading schools, McGilvra Elementary, in the late 1800s. Today Madison Park oers even more than it did a century ago. The community boasts nearly 100 businesses, including restaurants, markets, novelty shops, salons and spas. Madison Park Beach attracts summer crowds

for a vibrant beach life during warmer months. The area’s at topography makes it relatively easy to walk everywhere. With little more than 5,000 residents, the neighborhood maintains a distinct small-town feel. Gail Irving, president of the Madison Park Community Council, touts the sense of trust that pervades the community. “It’s the idea that you can live in a neighborhood that is relatively safe, and yet you have access to this full metropolitan region.â€? With a variety of housing options available, from single-family homes to lakefront condos, Madison Park appeals to a wide demographic. Coldwell Banker Bain agent Beth Toomey notes that in the last 20 years, she has seen an increase in the number of town houses and condominiums. As a result, the neighborhood is home to young professionals as well as retired couples. “It’s just a lovely combination of life,â€? Toomey says. Although the population of the area has changed, the lifestyle hasn’t. “I can go into [stores] without my wallet because the shop owners know me, and I have personal accounts with them,â€? Irving notes. Nearly 150 years after McGilvra ďŹ rst moved to Madison Park, it still oers a small-town vibe in a big-city setting.
