ALL WUbXm WRITTEN AND COMPILED BY STACY KENDALL

WHAT’S NEW IN WALLPAPER DESIGNS RUNS THE GAMUT FROM CUTTING EDGE TO CLASSIC, AND WE CAN’T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH Wallpaper exploded as a trend about four years ago. What had once been relegated to the outmoded interiors of fixer-upper homes was suddenly reborn into a design-trend darling, with collections and reintroductions from notable designers such as Kelly Wearstler and the late David Hicks. In 2010, wallpaper is still hot—and getting hotter. Here we present the latest offerings from some of our favorite manufacturers. We found that just about every style is represented out there, so whether you choose to go bold, subtle, modern or traditional, wallpaper is here to stay.

“FRAME LIGHT” WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PIECES THAT BROUGHT SUCCESS TO THIS DESIGNING DUO; BRIAN McALLISTER AND JAMIE IACOLI; “PANCA,” A STEEL ANDWOOD BENCH, IS ONE OF THE PAIR’S RECENT PIECES; “FRAME COFFEE TABLE” BOTTOM IS A SPINOFF OF THE ORIGINAL DESIGN FOR “FRAME LIGHT.”

IN LATE 2007, Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister were both poised to start solo design careers, but after a chance meeting, the creative sparks flew. McAllister knew how to weld but needed a studio, and Iacoli had a studio but wanted to learn how to weld. Call it serendipity, but less than a month later they were sharing studio space in Georgetown. Even before they developed a clear plan, the two knew they had the passion to create something special. “We just started designing,” Iacoli recalls. Once they were set up in the studio together, they started experimenting with designs and making prototypes. Over the next couple of years, Iacoli and McAllister gained exposure to many of the contemporary design stars. “We started watching what people like Tom Dixon, Marcel Wanders and Patricia Urquiola were doing,” Iacoli says, “and today we are inspired by cutting-edge contemporary design.” Their big break came in 2009 after they entered two pieces in the then newly formed American Design Club, an organization of emerging designers in New York that supports the burgeoning American design community. Iacoli & McAllister’s Frame Light, a cube-shaped pendant lamp, and Mini Pedestal, a tray with a powder-coated vintage candlestick base, were picked up by New York City’s übercool modern design shop the Future Perfect, where their pieces are carried alongside works by the duo’s original design heroes. Since then, their designs have received national recognition in magazines and design blogs. To help spread the word about their company, Iacoli and McAllister attend New York’s annual furniture shows. They brought some of their most recent work to both the New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF) and the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) this year. Now, their designs are carried in stores on both coasts and are available internationally at British designer Paul Smith’s London and Paris boutiques. In 2008 they founded JOIN Design Seattle to build a vibrant local design community and promote emerging designers. In the past year, JOIN has organized five successful exhibitions, including a pop-up design shop. This past August, Iacoli, McAllister and eight other JOIN designers exhibited at the 2010 NYIGF alongside more new design collectives from across the country. “It’s awesome to be around so many creative people, and we are passionate about supporting this community,” Iacoli says.

“KLONDIKE BAR� Serves 1

™

hether we gather in front of cozy ďŹ replaces, mingle around trees decorated with twinkling lights or crowd around elegantly set tables, winter in general—and the holidays in particular—is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family. The common denominator, it seems, is usually nourishment: savory appetizers, ďŹ lling entrĂŠes, abundant drinks and, of course, sweet desserts. Some of the best tables are ones to which everyone contributes, sharing of ourselves in our choices of food and drink. And many of our strongest memories of holidays are tied to speciďŹ c dishes or recipes. To test my theory, I asked my co-workers at Seattle Homes & Lifestyles if they have any special recipes that they associate with the holidays or always prepare for winter potlucks. Not surprisingly, everyone has at least one recipe—and usually a story or two to go with it. “When I reect on Christmases growing up, I think of my dad taking so much time to put the lights on the tree that no cords or wires were visible, and my mom always baked Chocolate Drop Cookies,â€? recalls Publisher Cathy Fitzer. “It was the only time of year she made these, and it always seemed like they were gone as fast as she baked them!â€? Assistant Market Editor Nancy Clark has a similar memory about her recipe for Sand Tarts: “Ever since I can remember, my mom and grandmother have been making these cookies around Christmastime,â€? she says. “They are the most melt-in-your-mouth reminder that ’tis the season!â€? Not surprisingly, sweet treats were some of the most popular recipes. “These cookies are like your favorite little black dress: They work for any festive occasion,â€? Account Executive Christina Eichelberger says of her Children’s Cookies. “They’ll take you from coee to hot chocolate to mulled cider to champagne. You can accessorize them with sprinkles or a touch of extra spice such as cinnamon, but they are perfectly lovely just as they are.â€? Advertising Art Director Lauren Schrader likes to make basic brownies but gives them a designer twist by decorating them with white icing. She calls them her Snowake Brownies (see page 20). “Every year my friends and I look forward to our annual cookie exchange. I always make a family favorite: Cranberry Almond Shortbread Cookies,â€? says Account Executive Brenda DeVore. “They look festive and are delicious dipped in a cup of tea.â€? Savory treats passed down through families also make memorable visits on our holiday tables. For Associate Editor Angela Cabotaje, the avor of Green Onion Pancakes (opposite page) reminds her of holidays at home.

2.25 ounces Rumpleminz schnapps 1.5 ounces Frangelico hazelnut liqueur 4.5 ounces half-and-half Ice Chocolate sauce

Shake schnapps, Frangelico and half-and-half with ice, pour into a chilled martini glass and top with a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Beverages, such as Account Executive Robinson Fralick’s “Klondike Barâ€? (above) also put folks in a festive mood. “Peppermint hot cocoa with a generous helping of whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies is the avor of Christmastime at our house!â€? oers Art Director Shawn Williams. “For me, the holidays are about celebration, and nothing makes an occasion feel special like champagne!â€? says Market Editor Stacy Kendall. “A nice bottle of bubbly adds instant glamour to any party, and my favorite new thing is to add a sparkler to the top for an even more festive presentation.â€? At my house, homemade ice cream is a year-round favorite, and it’s always popular at friends’ dinners too. I like to invent new avors for dierent occasions, and adding crushed candy canes and big chunks of rich, dark chocolate give this recipe special holiday avor. Having heard everyone’s stories and seen their recipes, I’m looking forward to our sta holiday party.

GREEN ONION PANCAKES Serves 8

3 cups all-purpose our 1½ cups water 1 tablespoon shortening 1 tablespoon salt 2 bunches green onions, chopped Vegetable oil for shallow frying 1. Combine our and water in a bowl and mix into a soft dough. Generously our a work surface and lightly knead dough until smooth. Let rest for ďŹ ve minutes. 2. Tear o a ďŹ st-sized ball of dough. Roll out into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spread shortening on the surface of the dough until lightly covered. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the surface of the dough. Sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions, spreading evenly on the dough. 3. Start from the end closest to you and roll the dough into a log. Pinch the ends shut. Gently roll the log to lengthen to about 8 inches. Take one end and coil the rest of the log around it into a bun (imagine a cinnamon bun). Tuck the loose end under the bun. Firmly press on the bun to atten it into a pancake. 4. Heat about 1 teaspoon vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook pancake until it pus up and is evenly brown on both sides. 5. Cut into wedges (like pizza slices) and serve hot. 6. Repeat until dough is gone. SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM NOV. & DEC. 2010

Working with her favorite florist, Betty, at the Queen Anne Metropolitan Market, Rutkowski determines the design direction for her decorations. The designer often uses inspirational photos she has culled over many years as owner of Graciela Rutkowski Interiors and as a partner in G.R.

Although her décor changes yearly, Rutkowski likes to keep it looking classic and traditional but “with a modern twist,” she says. Two large white ceramic vases stand in the dining room year-round, for example, but filling them with tall, white-flocked branches and red berries turns them into dramatic holiday statements. Rutkowski, her husband, Rick, and daughters Nicolina, 13, and Pilar, 8, have made Christmas a special tradition in their Laurelhurst home for the past 15 years. “Our families don’t live nearby, so it’s

usually just us sitting around the table for Christmas dinner in our pajamas,â€? Rutkowski says. The family’s main celebration is Christmas Eve, when they serve a large Italian-style dinner and enjoy English-style Christmas crackers that Rick ďŹ lls with special gifts for his wife and children—such as the diamond cocktail ring that Graciela found in hers four years ago. Another tradition that the family shares is bringing out the festive pieces that Rutkowski has collected over time. These keepsakes are displayed every year, regardless of the color scheme. The Hèrmes Balcon de Guadalquivir patterned china enjoys permanent holiday dĂŠcor status—a splurge that Rutkowski says “makes me happy, and makes my guests feel special.â€? Her favorite way to capture the sparkle of the season is with her collection of silvery mercury glass. “I love the newer, oversized pieces,â€? she says. “I put them outside in pots or down the middle of the table—candlelight makes them glow, and it gives a jewel-box eect.â€? Plenty of candlelight illuminates the family’s annual pre-Christmas party. The Rutkowskis have hosted as many as 150 people at their house—once extending the entertaining space by setting up a large tent outside the sunroom and furnishing it with carpets and living-room furniture. “It’s

Passionate cooks, she and her husband often prepare the food for their guests themselves, crafting delicious but unpretentious dishes such as mini tenderloin sandwiches, salads, tarts and big bowls of shrimp cocktail. Rutkowski describes the wooden reindeer head that hangs in the living room throughout the holiday season as their “party mascot.â€? Every year, he is festively adorned with mercury glass ornaments hung with pretty ribbons—in a color that coordinates with the current scheme. “It’s the holidays, it’s a celebration, it’s fantastic,â€? Rutkowski says. “If I’m going to do something, I want to do it well.â€? Although the dĂŠcor makes the Rutkowski house sparkle at Christmas, it is merely the vehicle through which the designer expresses her love for her family and friends during the holidays. “Good design makes everyone feel welcome and appreciated,â€? she says. “There is something very civilized about having a little vacation in your own home.â€?

It was 2006, and Colleen was happily living with her two flat-coated retrievers, River and Kai, in a cozy 1,200-square-foot midcentury modern home. She had just finished remodeling it to suit her tastes. And then a friend stopped by one day to tell her about the house down the street. She had to go and take a look. The “crazy house” was originally a modest 1950s-era one-story with some unique add-ons circa 1978. A two-story addition to the north end features a steeply pitched roof (Colleen calls it “the ski chalet”), and the interior design was leftover from the disco era: wall-to-wall red shag carpeting, a metal staircase that spiraled from the lower-level garage up to the second-story loft, a retro freestanding fireplace and an open master bath decked out in black and gold fixtures and white shag carpeting. The home did have some appealing points, too. Perched on a hillside, it offered an unobstructed 180-degree view of Puget Sound on the west side and backed up to a lush and private greenbelt. “I saw an opportunity to open up the whole house so you could really see through it—green space on the back side and water in front,” Colleen says. With that vision in mind, she took the leap: She sold her home, moved in and

immediately started a remodel. For professional guidance, Colleen turned to friend and architect Kim Lavacot of Bennett Lavacot Architecture. “She and I had a lot of similar thoughts of how to open it up and create a little flow,” the homeowner recalls. “We’d go through and talk about it, and she’d enable my crazy vision.” For inspiration, they channeled the relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle of Palm Springs and Bali, locations that Colleen had visited often and loved. “From Palm Springs, I got that cool, clean modern architecture,” she explains. “From Bali, I got the idea of a respite and an oasis.” Outside walls were replaced with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors, exterior spaces were created for both private lounging and group gatherings, and materials were repeated inside and out to allow for seamless transitions. The rest of the remodel fell into place behind that vision. Colleen, who lived in the home throughout the entire remodel, was the driving force. She specified the look she wanted for different rooms and hunted down furniture, fixtures and accessories. Friends and family were recruited to help with this very personal project as well. “I enlisted the blood, sweat and tears of my friends and family. My parents would come over, SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM NOV. & DEC. 2010

and I would work them to the bone,” Colleen says with a laugh. “I absolutely love what I do, and Colleen gets the same joy,” architect Lavacot adds. “She’s fearless—when she had an idea, she’d go for it.” Four years later, the hard work has paid off. The “crazy house” is now a modern retreat with a sleek contemporary touch and an easygoing vibe. From the driveway, poured-concrete steps lead up to the entryway, where a massive glass pivot door is bookended by an oversized window and a wall of weathered ipe. Halfway hidden around the corner is an outdoor area that’s all Palm Springs and Bali. At the south end of the front patio, a reflecting pool and built-in bench offer a place for quiet contemplation, while a set of orange lounge chairs, a fire pit and a 26-foot-long bench at the north end are designed for social gatherings. When Colleen has guests during warmer months, they all inevitably end up here, chatting and sipping wine around the fire for hours after the sun has set spectacularly over Puget Sound. The rest of the home was just as perfectly planned for entertaining and relaxed living. The ski chalet, stripped of its shag carpet, is now open to views on both sides. Concrete on the front patio gives way to gray milestone inside, and ipe is used throughout, adding warmth to the minimal look. The stainless steel, aluminum and high-gloss white kitchen opens to a first-floor sitting area, where orange leather chairs from Kasala keep guests occupied while Colleen prepares meals. “My swivel chairs put everyone in a great mood,” she says. Dinner at her vintage teak dining table under a row of low-slung Bocci

pendants is often followed by a few steps out the sliding glass door to the back patio, where VKG lounge chairs and an integrated in-wall fireplace provide some modern wow. A raised lawn (for River and Kai) is framed with concrete, and the adjacent hillside greenbelt and a row of bamboo keep the space cool, even during hot summers. In winter, Colleen’s visitors migrate up the remaining half of the spiral staircase (a design element that made it through the ’70s purge after Colleen closed the opening to the garage) and past a DNA-esque light fixture (another survivor) to the second-story loft, where views of the Sound are breathtaking, even on the gloomiest of days. Overnight company is welcome to stay in one of two guest rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows and views, but the master suite is Colleen’s private sanctuary. The design theme of connecting inside to outside is repeated here, with walls of windows and panels of glass opening up the entire space from the front of the house to the backyard. It is one—of many—of Colleen’s favorite spaces in her home. “I’m not one for ridiculously formal living, and I feel very grateful to have been able to create a space that’s interesting and livable,” Colleen says. Her stylish modern home is now a slice of Palm Springs and Bali in West Seattle, and Colleen, River and Kai—and all who visit them—couldn’t be happier. For resource information, see Sources, page 70.

he 33 acres of Lopez Island encompass almost everything people love about the San Juans: 1,200 feet of waterfront, acres of evergreens, elegant madrona trees with peeling red bark, an open meadow, a bluff with views over Puget Sound and nearby islands—even an eagles’ nest. A few years ago, the only thing missing from this perfect site was a welcoming cabin. The clients approached architect Stuart Silk in 2004 to talk about building a cabin on the land. “We were thinking knotty pine,” the woman recalls. “We wanted something simple.” They asked Silk to include two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a great room. “The client wanted low maintenance, and, of course, they wanted to take advantage of the view,” Silk recalls.

Silk and project manager Lisa Sidlauskas met with their clients to talk about what they envisioned for this slice of Northwest heaven. The woman was the primary driver, the architect says. “As we got involved in the process, it became more and more clear that she was leaning toward a modern house with more minimal design elements,” Silk says. “She was shying away from a traditional cabin in the woods. She wanted to do something special.” As the client remembers it, viewing the initial floor plan was love at first sight. “[The architect] brought us the first plans and we were just bowled over,” she says. “I loved them.” The resulting symmetrical, modern home has a sloping roof plane that almost seems to rise from the earth, sheltering a 14-foot-high wall of windows at the west end.

are two small towers, which contain sleeping rooms and also feature tall west-facing windows. The cabin is just 1,300 square feet, much of it in the great room, where kitchen, dining and living areas share one open, highceilinged space with clerestory windows on the north and south ends. “When you’re in the kitchen, your eye is directed out and up as the roof lifts up,” Silk says. “So there’s a nice kind of spatial thing that happens there.” Two thick, masonry walls run the length of the home, and the towers are sided in corrugated metal. These exterior materials—as well as birch veneer plywood—extend inside to further blur the lines between interior and exterior. Short hallways on either side of the kitchen lead from the great room to separate bedrooms and bathrooms, and a window at the end of each hall offers a nicely framed, intimate view of the garden. Another vision that the clients had for the house was that of a cabin nestled in a meadow of tall grasses with exposed boulders. Because the property included a large open space at the top of the bluff that offered a stunning western view, it was a natural homesite. “We didn’t want to have to pull down any trees,” Silk recalls, noting that none of the big evergreens on the site were cut down for construction. The home sits at the north end of the clearing, away from the bluff edge. “They

wanted to look through the trees to see the water,” Silk says. The client designed much of the exterior plan, choosing rocks and ground cover for the slight slope in front of the house. Most of the meadow is planted in native grasses that are gradually filling in—just as mother nature might have planned it. Though the local deer are a bane to many islanders, the residents here take them in stride, noting which plants seem to attract four-legged diners and which appear to be less tasty. No fences bar their hoofed passage across the meadow. “It’s their place, and we’re just using it,” the woman says. In keeping with the clients’ request for a low-maintenance cabin, the corrugated metal siding, concrete and aluminum windows were chosen for their durability, and the native grasses are drought-tolerant. The people who live there couldn’t be happier: “The house plan—with floor-to-ceiling glass walls in the living room and hallways—allows us to look out over the San Juan Channel, the grass meadow and into the woods,” the woman says. “If we had this to do all over again, we would!” For resource information, see Sources, page 70.

DARK AND DATED MASTER BATHROOM in Magnolia prompted its owners to transform the space into a luminous and functional retreat with help from interior designer Paula Devon Raso.

THE SOLUTION: “What existed was a built-in tub with dark, old slate stone,” the designer explains. “The worst thing was the scale of the shower,” she adds, referring to the large glass-block steam shower that occupied one corner of the room. Raso gutted the room and installed a smaller walk-in shower and an elegant round-edged soaking tub. Because the master bathroom is separated into three areas—shower, vanity and tub, and dressing room—Raso suggested using a sophisti-

cated Nina Campbell wallpaper as a way to unify the spaces. “The wallpaper is a very subtle creamy white and pale taupe pattern. From there, I pulled the paint color for the trim and vanity,” Raso says. The soothing color palette creates a timeless look and warm environment. “I felt like the wallpaper added interest, yet [it’s] subtle enough that you wouldn’t get tired of it,” Raso says. The vanity features his-and-hers mirrors with custom built-in medicine cabinets and drawers below the sinks for extra storage space. “Storage was an element that we wanted to increase,” the designer explains. The tub also has a built-in shelf, perfect for displaying art. Now, Raso describes the space as timeless with quiet elegance. “In 10 or 15 years, it will [still] look great,” she says.

tepping onto Seattle’s green scene are three freshly opened shops featuring products that fulfill your eco-conscious interests. Each store has a distinct flavor. NuBe Green brims with products developed and manufactured solely in the United States; Sasquatch Studios carries an eclectic mix of reclaimed and sustainable products; and Dixie Stark Home, which is owned by interior designer Dixie Stark, offers romantically re-imagined vintage pieces housed within a recycled cargo-container structure. All of these shops are as unique as their owners, and each encourages Seattleites to embrace a less wasteful—and more stylish—lifestyle.

A modern interpretation of an antique Hungarian sleigh, this bench features a tea-stained burlap cushion, a solid elm base and oxidized metal strapping and rings for a rustic touch. Antique Hungarian Sleigh Bench, $1,995 from Restoration Hardware, restorationhardware.com.

This table by Seattle-based designer Laura Yeats reflects Northwesterners’ love for the outdoors. Salvaged wood and steel make this an ideal addition for any winter retreat.

Homeowner Suzi Latham chanced upon these old ski-lift chairs while she was completing the interiors for her Suncadia home designed by Richard A. Fisher Architects, 1932 First Ave., Ste. 703, (206) 441-0442, richardafisher.com. Latham decided to install them on a secondfloor landing overlooking the living room, where they serve as a focal point for that space and a great conversation starter. “Everyone wants to jump in and feel the excitement of skiing in the Swiss Alps,” Latham says. “[The chairs] almost always elicit a memory of being in the mountains.”

THE PLATEAU WRITTEN BY RACHEL GALLAHER

THE EASTSIDE ENCLAVE OF SAMMAMISH is the perfect place for those with an active, family-oriented lifestyle. Located on the Sammamish Plateau, just east of the lake that also bears its name, the city is close to the Cascades, two top-rated school districts and surrounding cities, including Seattle. Sammamish may be young on paper (the city was incorporated in King County in 1999), but the roots of the community run deep. Originally populated by various Native American tribes such as the Snoqualmie, the plateau saw its ďŹ rst wave of settlers in the 1880s. By the 1930s, three lakeside resorts were operating in the southern region of the plateau, and the area was a popular vacation destination. Through the 1960s, Sammamish remained rural and sparsely populated, but rapid development began in the 1980s, and the question of incorporation became a hot topic. In the early 1990s, voters rejected an attempt to annex the southern half of the plateau to Issaquah, and plans to incorporate the northern half into Redmond were also abandoned. Then in 1999, King County concluded that Sammamish could become its own city. Despite Sammamish’s rapid growth from rural area to city, a sense of community and a family-friendly mentality prevail. Windermere real estate agent and Sammamish resident Chris Loeliger says families with children are

*& NOV. & DEC. 2010

SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM

a major demographic in the area. When his family moved to the area in 2001, the highly ranked public school system was a huge draw. “The top reason I encourage people to move here is for the top-rated schools. Sammamish is served by the Lake Washington School District (the northern half of Sammamish) and the Issaquah School District (the southern half ). Both are award-winning, and some of the highest performing schools are within Sammamish.â€? According to Loeliger, a variety of homes are available here including condos, townhomes and waterfront properties. The abundant housing choices, community events and proximity to three lakes aren’t bad either. Just east of Lake Sammamish are two smaller bodies of water—Beaver Lake and Pine Lake—both of which oer play areas, sports ďŹ elds and trails. Nine parks throughout the community provide plenty of places to hike, swim and play, and Marymoor Park is just a 10-minute drive away. Nine years after moving to the area, Loeliger still cites Sammamish’s friendly, community-centered approach as one of its biggest assets. “When we moved to Sammamish, two separate neighbors each welcomed us to the neighborhood with blueberry muďŹƒns. It’s that wonderful welcoming approach that makes Sammamish special.â€?
