Please do touch the merchandise Experience an innovative showroom at Birdsall Bath The first time you visit Birdsall Bath Design, you are in for some wonderful surprises. The experience of exploring the showroom is very up close and personal…by design. From the moment you step in the door, the tranquility of the space and the beauty of the displays will draw you in. More than 70 displays actually work. You can watch and touch the water flowing from dozens of faucets. Put your hands in the cascading rainfall of the showerheads or the gentle bubbles of an air tub. “Nature,” director Patti Whelan says, “is definitely an inspiration.” Visitors are welcome to touch the sinks, sit in the tubs…go ahead, fill one up and see it work. There is even a working steam shower with a state-of-the-art sound system that can connect to your iPod. Whether you are looking for marble, wood, glass, or chrome, and a design that’s classic or cutting-edge contemporary, Birdsall Bath Design is an extraordinary place for your senses. “The bathroom is where we start and end our day,” Whelan says. “It’s an important space.” A trend in bath design is to create a sanctuary that supports wellness and health. And examples of products that can do that are on display throughout the showroom. A whirlpool tub or a rainfall shower with LED chromather-
W
apy lights can be part of a wellness routine that will bring many benefits. Chromatherapy helps you take advantage of the energy embodied in specific colors of light to reestablish and maintain balance and vitality in your life. Red light has been shown to activate circulation and awaken the senses (good for mornings,) blue light reduces blood pressure and overexcitement, and relaxes the body and soul (nice before bedtime,) while violet light stimulates the immune system, eliminates toxins, and reduces stress. Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils from aromatic plants,
flowers, and resins that stimulate the sense of smell and allow the whole body to benefit therapeutically. When added to a whirlpool bath or a steam shower, essential oils increase the positive effects of the bath or shower throughout the body. Depending on which essences are used, your body will be energized or relaxed for several hours. Birdsall Bath Design showroom is a subsidiary of W.A. Birdsall & Co., a Linden-based company that is celebrating its 100th year in business this year. In keeping with the company’s mission to being leaders in the green movement, the showroom was fitted out to achieve Silver LEED certification, making it the only bath showroom in the country to boast such an award. The showroom displays a wide variety of eco-friendly products for the bath, including water-saving faucets and showerheads, formaldehyde-free furniture, radiant towel warmers, and more. And the staff is always happy to educate consumers and contractors about ways to create a beautiful, greener bath. Whether your project is in the browsing-and-dreaming stage, or you already have firm ideas, floor plans and a start date, you will be warmly welcomed by the friendly, professional staff who love helping people create a bath that they will enjoy every day. Birdsall Bath Design is a destination showroom that is very much worth the trip. Call 908-753-8181 or visit birdsallbath.com.

Creating an individual look for each customer Anne Weiner has some experience with creating the right look for her customers. The owner of Bernstein’s has a degree in musical theater and used to be a professional singer. “I know how to create the right look for someone; I know how to create a character — not only myself, but my whole staff,” she says. “We listen carefully to our customers. They may come in and tell us they aren’t sure what they want, but we engage them, and they open up, and it turns out they do know what they want. Every woman, whether she’s a size 4 or 24, has a vision of what she wants.” In business for more than 60 years, Bernstein’s carries everything, Weiner says, from lifestyle dressing such as jeans, tees, and jackets, to everyday accessories such as scarves and belts, to custom-made eveningwear, which is what the store is known for. “That’s where we started,” says Weiner, who is the family’s third generation in the business. “We carry everything for the ‘mother of ’ — mother of the bride, mother of the groom, mother of the bar or bat mitzva.” Weiner thoroughly enjoys the process of outfitting her customers. “We really, really love our customers. They come to us because we’re different. They don’t come to us to find what you can find in a bridal shop or a department store. They come to us because we are about you, your needs, and your vision.” The Bernstein’s look doesn’t end with their famous evening wear. In addition, they carry a fabulous array of casual clothes, suits, daytime dresses, and outerwear. Their accessories range from daytime handbags to funky jewelry to elegant evening pieces that are sure to dazzle. And don’t forget to ask about “Final Fluff,” professional wedding dressers who make sure everyone looks perfect on their special day.

An architectural design element that is often overlooked in a home is the ceiling. If you just look up you will see a vast blank canvas. Here are some design techniques to make them interesting and unexpected. Adding architectural details like this really distinguishes your home, ultimately adding value. If your ceilings are 9’0” or more, you can add coffer details to provide various levels. A great place to conceal lighting or to bring attention to hand applied paint texture, stencils, or murals. Incorporating non-structural hand hewn beams can instantly add warmth
and character to a plain white ceiling. If you are looking for a stately sophisticated look in a library or study consider adding an all wood ceiling with wood beams. To achieve a historical feel, consider using authentic metal ceiling such as tin or copper. The metal can be aged to give a weathered appearance or even painted a solid color. There are other ways to distinguish your ceiling without construction or adding woodworking. Consider using different types of faux finishing techniques that can add depth and character to a ceiling. Luterstone is a hand troweled finish that adds a highly dimensional natural stone effect. This product is very durable and easy to repair. There are many standard and custom colors available. Each artist has their own style of application that truly adds the artistic flair to the technique. If your room is formal, gold or silver leafing is an exquisite option,
adding sparkle and shimmer. If you can’t find exactly what you are in search of in the way of pattern, I have been inspired and provided designs using wallpaper motifs that can be applied freehand or created into a stencil. These are just a few ideas on how to enhance a ceiling or two in your home. So start looking up and imagine the possibilities. Thanks for the question and I hope this was helpful for you. Until then…I’ll see you inside.

Ensuring your experience rises above expectations W
Where children shine For over 30 years, The Sundance School & Camp, a fully licensed, nonsectarian learn-
ing center, has been providing children from preschool through fifth grade a stimulating, happy environment where positive experiences build self-esteem and a love of learning. Our unique, interactive curriculum wraps imagination and creativity around the educational process and fosters confidence and unlocks each child’s potential. As children learn to share, respect one another, and follow directions, their communication and critical thinking skills increase naturally. Programs incorporate language arts, hands-on math and science activities, Spanish, Chinese, cooking, computers, art, and physical education. Music, dramatics, and dance play a significant part in every child’s experience, culminating in two performances for family and friends during the year. Violin and string orchestra also begin in second grade. Classes are offered in two, three, or five full or half day sessions. A low staff-student ratio, 4:1 for younger children, and 7:1 for older children, assures plenty of individual attention. Sundance offers extended and vacation care, and after-school enrichment programs, as well as Summer Camp Programs in Creative Arts & Sciences (ages 2-6), Theater (ages 6-14), Science Explorer Camps (ages 2-9), and Academic Enrichment (ages 5-8). Summer Camp Programs are offered from June till August. The school is open daily from 7:45 a.m.-5:45 p.m.

A unique destination Jessica Bonder
Located in a charming historic landmark in Warren, Gisele’s Unique Shop is truly a unique destination. Customers travel from near and far for the expert service they receive at this specialty shop. Since 1996, owner Pat O’Brien and her professional staff have dressed women for the formal events in their lives. From weddings to galas to bar mitzvahs, Gisele’s Unique Shop caters to women who hope to look their very best for their special occasion. Gisele’s Unique Shop has a fascinating history that accompanies its location. Originally the Warren Firehouse building, the unusual stone structure was purchased by Gisele Gresitza and her husband Heinz when they first arrived from Germany. Gisele opened an import/export shop, which eventually evolved into a clothing store. Gisele owned the shop for 25 years and her daughter Sabina later assisted. Current owner Pat O’Brien, who had experience in retail, partnered with Sabina in 1996 and assumed full proprietorship of Gisele’s in 2004. Word-of-mouth has spread the fine reputation of Gisele’s Unique Shop in this niche business. The clientele of Gisele’s is primarily women between the ages of 45-65+ who are preparing to dress for the special events of their lives. Gisele’s provides outstanding customer service and an impressive selection of gowns for women of all sizes. The experts at Gisele’s are sensitive to the clothing requirements of formal gowns and the individual concerns of every customer.

Dentist offers free dental exam and x-rays Dentist Adam Feret is concerned about your teeth. He and the members of his practice target people who dread dentists, and people who might not be able to afford quality dental work in this economy. The free exam gives people an opportunity to take Dr. Feret’s practice for a test drive. Some people are afraid of monsters under the bed. Others are afraid of flying. But many are afraid of the dentist. “We are health care providers,” said Dr. Feret, a dentist with a practice in Westfield for 37 years. “Our job is to help people. But because of bad experiences and sometimes just because of the sound of our instruments, people get scared. The old joke goes: Only take care of the teeth you want to keep. Once you get your permanent teeth, that’s it. You don’t get any more. “There are a lot of people who believe nothing is wrong with their teeth unless it hurts — a lot and for a long time,” said Alice Brown, practice manager for Dr. Feret and his WestfieldSmiles.com website. “They think if the pain goes away, so did the problem. That’s wrong on so many counts. Pain is a signal by the body that something is wrong. Even if the pain disappears, you need to find out what caused it.” She continues, “The mouth has sometimes been called the gateway to the rest of your body. That means problems found in the mouth could help detect bigger problems elsewhere in your body. If you care about your health, you need to see a dentist regularly.” Dr. Feret, who received a bachelor’s degree from Seton Hall University in South Orange and his dental degree from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, has been practicing and living in Westfield since 1973. His goal is to make a dental visit painless and effective — so he can determine the condition of your teeth and you want to come back. “I’ve done very well in my practice and in my life,” Dr. Feret said. “I’ve tried to help people in my practice, but sometimes you need to do more. Offering some free dental services is my way of saying thank you.” What makes Dr. Feret’s practice different? “Quality is our passion,” said Alice Brown. “Our obsession is service.”

Seng Couture Despite having lost her parents and six of her brothers at the age of eight in the Cambodian genocide, and facing many tribulations and considerable hardships during her early years in her homeland, Seng never lost sight of her goal — to become a successful designer. She mastered her craft at the age of 15 from her aunt as a couture designer. Seng’s exceptional artistry stood out among her peers so much that she decided to open her own shop in 2009 with the launch of her personal line, the “Illiana Collection.” The line has been a successful hit. Our customers love her line. Not only are the styles flattering, but they also fit comfortably and create a luxurious look. When it comes to women looking their best, they call on Seng’s talent and trust her ability. Seng’s respect and deference to the client makes her salon experience extraordinary. Customer service is of the utmost importance and every client is treated as the unique individual that they are. Choosing just the right outfit for that extra-special event should be pleasant, relaxed, and enjoyed in a trusting atmosphere. Seng and her staff emphasize the importance of beauty, tailoring, luxury, and how a woman feels in their selection. We look forward to welcoming you to our friendly and hassle-free environment where our experienced associates will be happy to make your special event even more memorable.

Delivering sweet dreams to happily slumbering clients A Jewish family-owned business since 1902, for over 100 years, Orange Mattress and Custom Bedding Company has been delivering peaceful sleep and sweet dreams to happily satisfied, slumbering clients. Founded in Charleston, Orange relocated in 1938 to New Jersey to continue a tradition of building top-quality, custom, handmade mattresses and box springs. Natural fibers are used, such as horse hair, cotton, organic cotton, and lambs’ wool latex rubber, which is wrapped in either cotton or wool, not synthetic foams. Mattresses can be made in any level of firmness; soft, medium, firm, or super firm. One of the most popular is cotton, horse hair, latex, and lambs’ wool upholstered innerspring mattresses covered in 100 percent cotton ticking; cool in summer and warm in winter. Each innerspring mattress contains brass air vents which allow for air circulation. Every mattress with natural ingredients is lace tufted by hand, which prohibits shifting. Box springs are even custom upholstered, and adapted to the firmness you like. All bedding sets not only are unique, but last for many years. Horse Hair mattresses can last from 30 to 70 years. Custom pillows are a specialty. The best pillow you can get is goose down or white goose feathers mixed with down, which give more body to the pillow and allow more support to the head. These handmade pillows are not found in stores, and organic cotton pillows are available too.

New Jersey’s top orthodontists A beloved and caring community Temple Emanu-El is a Reform congregation whose members reside throughout Union County and beyond. From its beginnings in 1950, Temple Emanu-El has sought to combine progressive Jewish ideals with a continuing respect and appreciation for the timeless traditions of Judaism. Our diverse membership comprises people of all Jewish backgrounds, interfaith families, singles, and all spiritual seekers. Our worship is joyful, participatory, and inclusive. Our Shabbat services, Friday evenings, and Saturday mornings provide diversity of worship experiences from Shabbat Hallelu to Zimrat Shabbat, from Simchat Shabbat to traditional egalitarian services. Temple Emanu-El is committed to the furtherance of the beloved, caring community. Our clergy and members of our Caring Community Committee care for members and their families. We are also passionate about tikun olam, our responsibility to create a beloved and caring community outside our walls. The Social Action Committee oversees numerous opportunities to serve our neighbors. The cornerstone of Temple Emanu-El is the belief that learning Torah can transform us by helping us to learn how to live, rather than simply making a living. We have a continual commitment to the State of Israel, and to our brothers and sisters who reside there. We have a particularly active Men’s Club and Sisterhood, Renaissance Group, Friendship Group, Second Connect, LINKS, and various affinity groups, as well as numerous other committees. We include in our mission statement the welcoming of interfaith families and we offer programs for interfaith couples. Our clergy are always available to meet privately with families and individuals. Temple Emanu-El is a proud affiliate of the Union for Reform Judaism.

Drs. Stanley and Scott Gersch, the father-and-son team of Gersch Orthodontics, have a 30-plus-year history of excellence treating children, teens, adults, and multiple generations of families. They provide an enjoyable orthodontic experience in a fun, caring, modern, and comfortable environment. Believing that early diagnosis and a non-extraction philosophy are essential, they do serious work while always keeping visits light and fun with theme weeks, contests, and prize giveaways. They encourage patients and non-patients to visit them on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/GerschOrthodontics) and join their next contest! Whether utilizing clear aligner therapy (Invisalign/Invisalign Teen), traditional clear, or metal low-friction-self-ligating braces, or behind the teeth (lingual) braces, they offer a wide range of cosmetic options and state-of-the-art treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs — allowing patients to be treated in less time, with fewer visits, and minimal discomfort. Both doctors are Invisalign and Invisalign-Teen ELITE Premier Providers, a distinction given to less than 1% of Invisalign-certified doctors. Dr. Scott Gersch, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, is noted for his research on the impact of orthodontics on a child’s psychological well-being. Dr. Stanley Gersch is past president of the NJ Association of Orthodontists and a nationally recognized Invisalign expert and Director of NYU’s Invisalign program. Both have hospital privileges, and teach, sharing their knowledge with dental students and residents. Dr. Scott Gersch sums it up best: “Orthodontic treatment has a profound impact on a person’s life. Our greatest reward is seeing our patients’ confidence grow and their personalities blossom when we give them a new smile.” Both repeatedly named “Top Orthodontists” in New Jersey Monthly by their dental colleagues, and “Favorite Kids’ Docs” in New Jersey Family by parents in the community, Drs. Stanley and Scott Gersch are committed to creating beautiful smiles in a fun and energetic atmosphere. With two locations in Westfield and Linden, scheduling is flexible, offering early morning, evening, and weekend hours. They provide convenient payment plans and accept most insurance. Dr. Stanley Gersch concludes: “We invite patients to come in for their complimentary evaluation and be a part of our family at Gersch Orthodontics where our goal is to create generations of smiles that last a lifetime.”

34 March 22, 2012 Shopp Westfield N JJN With new ownership at the helm and spring around the corner, there is a flurry of activity at the historic Shackamaxon Country Club in Scotch Plains. This nearly century-old club that boasts an A.W. Tillinghast-designed golf course was purchased in December 2011 by an affiliate of RDC Golf Group, a leading New Jersey-based golf course ownership and management company. In just a few short months, RDC has embarked on an expansive golf course bunker renovation that is expected to be completed this spring; retained an award-winning executive chef to enhance its hospitality; and hand-picked a highly qualified executive staff to oversee the club’s operations. “Shackamaxon is a great private club with a proud history,” said club co-owner and RDC Golf Group President Christopher Schiavone. “My partners and I believe that our commitment to high standards, along with the support of a great membership, will ensure Shack’s future as one of New Jersey’s top country clubs.” Founded in 1916, the club was named Shackamaxon, an Indian term meaning “place where chiefs meet,” to honor the Native Americans who were believed to have once lived there. As the club grew in popularity, it affectionately became known as “Shack” and the course took its proper place in local golf history, along with Tillinghast’s other legendary designs such as Baltusrol, Bethpage, and Winged Foot. Over the years, the club has hosted the 1922, 1937, 1972, and 2002 New Jersey State Golf Association Open Championship, the 1924 and 1977 NJSGA Amateur Championship, the 1928 Met Open, the 1955 Cavalcade of Golf, and the 2010 Women’s Eastern Golf Association Amateur Championship. Now with a renewed commitment to excellence, “the place where chiefs meet” is the perfect place for your membership, golf outing, or catered event. Preview and Professional Memberships are available and Shack gladly welcomes non-member guests for outings and catered events.
