Editor’s note

Happy place

s with most things in life, our design sensibilities tend to evolve over time. Thinking back on my personal metamorphosis, I remember the first time I added my own “touch” to a room. I was a preteen, in the Eighties, so naturally I plastered posters of my celeb crushes all over the walls. I was really into music, and there was a lot of Billy Idol and Tommy Lee going on. Also up there with the bad boys of rock was Snoopy, who for some reason I was obsessed with and thus held prime real estate on my walls. The idea was, here is all this stuff I’m into—have a look! My room was like a real-life Pinterest board. With college years came my forced vintage phase. I took what I could get, building tables out of random old pieces of wood and basically decorating my flat with anything I, or my several roommates, could find. It was definitely a look. But as I got older and actually started having a salary with which I could purchase things, I finally found my vibe. I like earth tones and rustic flair. I like open space and pops of color. I like texture and art. And I like comfort. I’d call myself a minimalist I guess, but I also would never sacrific function for form. It’s where the two meet that I find happiness. We all have our own tastes when it comes to décor, and usually those tastes shift a bit from time to time. That’s why I so enjoyed working on this issue, which is filled with design inspiration—from the latest tips and trends (page 44) to inviting outdoor spaces (page 32) to relaxing bathscapes (page 20). Plus, our cover model, designer Ally Whalen, recently ditched her home in North Carolina and moved to downtown Stuart. We took a peek inside her beautiful cottage home, which is super laid-back with a lovely coastal-chic vibe. Have a look for yourself and get to know more about the talented designer in “Approachable Luxury” (page 26). If you’re itching to switch things up a bit this season, I hope you’ll find some helpful ideas on these pages. Just remember, home should be your happy place—whatever that means to you. So embrace your taste, quirks and all, and create a space that makes you smile. Peace and blessings,

November already? CHASIN A DREAM PHOTOGRAPHY

here has the year gone? I can’t believe we are at the height of the season, and the holidays are just around the corner. I am looking forward to festive parties this year, as the past few have been quite slim. With events in full swing, I am excited to see more of you in the community, as I did at the Whiskers for Whiskey four-course pairing for the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast in September. It was a lovely evening, and I enjoyed meeting several of our readers and supporting such a wonderful, local organization. Speaking of events, be sure to sign up and check out our weekly Insider’s Guide e-newsletter to stay up-to-date on what’s happening around town. Our November issue focuses on design and décor. What projects have you done over the past year or two? I finally made time to update our home. And I’ve learned, through talking to and working with businesses in the community, that many projects are in the works for local homeowners, from remodeling kitchens and bathrooms to creating new and improved outdoor escapes. As you flip through these pages, please be sure to check out our Home Resource Guide special advertising section (appearing in December as well!) if you need some ideas for where to shop for your abode. If you own a business and would like more information on how to be included next month, please get in touch with me. I hope you enjoy this issue and all of the content that represents our special tri-county area. I want to thank you for your loyal readership and for your continued support of Stuart Magazine. We are your local magazine and resource, and our upscale brand continues to serve this community we love. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me anytime.

ART Adventures A rtist Corina Pelloni has lived on the Treasure Coast for the past two decades, with Stuart being her main stomping grounds. A board member of the Creek District, she also serves as art director of 901hub (which is also home to her personal studio, MissingArt). “I grew up in a rural area, where I spent a ton of time in solitude in the woods and fields,” she shares. “I’m convinced that my artistic impulse arises from my connection with the natural world.” Pelloni has never identified strongly with any single medium; she is partial to painting and assemblage sculpture but also creates ceramic vessels, jewelry, and ritual objects and lately

has been working on murals and live-painting. “I don’t see why we can’t use a little bit of everything and learn as we go,” she says. “Some media are more of a natural fit, of course, but I love learning and will try anything.” Pelloni offers classes and workshops at her studio, ranging from glass pendants to resin windows. “Teaching is a natural extension of learning,” she says. “Art is a human behavior. We’ve over-commoditized it a bit, made it something that feels exclusive to people who don’t identify as artists. I want to make it accessible but in a way that foments a sense of adventure, that calls on people to reach and to take risks.” missingart.space —Skye Sherman

Discover newly deployed artifi ial reefs in the St. Lucie Inlet

here’s something new to explore in Martin County, but you’ll have to sink below the surface to see it. This summer, Martin County’s Artificial Reef Program, which partners with the Martin County Utilities and Solid Waste Department to allow contractors to dispose of clean concrete free of charge, built three 500-ton deployments within the Permitted South County Reef Area using concrete leftover from the county’s Murphy Road Bridge Project. Using recycled concrete to establish artificial reefs not only helps replenish reefs on the cheap, but it is also a more regenerative use of concrete than a landfill. The new reef deployments are located 6.7 nautical miles south of the St. Lucie Inlet at 65 feet deep. Today, there are more than 100 artificial reef sites teeming on Martin County’s ocean floors, a diving and fishing paradise. martin.fl.us/reefs

ooking for the perfect way to mark Veterans Day on November 11? Head to the Road to Victory Military Museum in Stuart. The museum is located in original World War II barracks, where local troops prepared for D-Day, and exists to educate visitors about American history and the sacrifices that made our freedom possible, as well as to honor veterans by displaying memorabilia, weapons, and other artifacts (including a rare Burma Jeep). The museum is active in parades and area events and also offers a Victory Ranger Program for kids ages 14 to 20 that gives them a chance to act as museum docents. This month, don’t miss the museum’s annual staged Vietnam-era land battle correlated with a parachute drop from a vintage plane at the Stuart Air Show (November 13 and 14 in the morning). facebook.com/roadtovictory

EXPERT TIPS FOR GROWING HEALTHIER PLANTS

outh Florida is a land of lushness, but not all of us were born with a green thumb. Stuart resident Alisia Kifer—better known as the Garden Goddess—is the lead horticulturist at Heathcote Botanical Gardens in Fort Pierce. She started Garden Goddess LLC (facebook.com/gardengoddess13) in early 2020 to provide garden design, education, and sourcing advice, and you can find many of her lush plants for sale at The Roasted Record in downtown Stuart. Here, Kifer shares her top plant-care tips.

FIND ITS HAPPY PLACE. Get a feel for where the plant wants to be. Indoor plants should be suited for low light. For outdoor plants, I leave the plant in the pot I bought it in and move it around my yard. If it begins to wilt, I change its location. Once I find a spot where it’s thriving, that’s when I either repot it or plant in the ground.

GET THE RIGHT MIX. I generally use

one part soil, two parts perlite, and one part compost.

DON’T OVERWATER. A good way to

check if a plant needs watering is to grab a wooden chopstick or skewer from your kitchen and push it into the soil. If the stick comes out dry and clean, water your plant. At my home in Stuart, I usually water twice a week in the morning or evening.

FEED IT. Micronutrients like zinc,

boron, and manganese are essential to plant growth. Select a fertilizer with these in it or add a supplemental one. Epsom salt in small doses is great for supplying trace minerals.

GIVE IT A HAIRCUT. Cutting dead

flowers or blooms helps support regrowth. Trim dead or dying leaves back to the base of the main stem.

AUTUMNAL FUN

ntertaining season is finally here! And while holidays this year still may not look quite the same as years past, I’ve sourced some dazzling items to make any gathering festive. With three kids, I’m all about easy cleanup, so I’m obsessed with Sophistiplate’s elegant disposable plates and reusable cutlery. Their Gold Harvest setting will be a game changer this Thanksgiving—and the flower-shaped fiber placemat from Crate & Barrel is the perfect backdrop. I love warm, deep scents, and this candle by Floral Street, a fragrance brand all about sustainability and eco-responsibility, pairs nicely with a beautifully set table. Greek Mills’ brass pepper and copper salt mill set is both functional and gorgeous, and Via Coquina is stocked with them (for now)! Another item sure to spark conversation is this unique rainbow flatwear—my daughter calls them the “unicorn forks.” Happy entertaining!

Anything he set his mind to do would be exactly right—or scrapped entirely and begun again. Thomson had so much faith in Henley’s vision for Bahama Boat Works, in fact, that he eventually became an investor in the business. Henley immediately knew the flagship Bahama 41 was the perfect boat for Thomson. The B41’s combination of seaworthiness and superior handling quickly become apparent when you ride aboard. Closer inspection reveals an appreciation for exquisite rigging and meticulously detailed finish work. It was this build quality that brought Thomson and Henley together to work on a custom game boat companion to Thomson’s mothership. Custom builders adapt each boat to the owner’s specific needs, and Thomson wanted a quad-powered boat that fished well in the most competitive setting and covered ground quickly in any weather. He added a Birdsall tower to increase visibility, as well as refrigerated chiller plates in oversized insulated fish holds. He opted to stick with the standard, 60-gallon transom live well, though Bahama Boat Works can build additional bait storage for those who want it. To add another level of comfort on the roughest days, a Seakeeper 3 gyro stabilizer was installed. A large part of Thomson’s boating life also involves quiet weekends anchored out in Hobe Sound, entertaining friends. He added a cockpit lounge and forward seating with a convertible bunny pad, ideal for sunbathing and relaxing. All seating features are removable when fishing becomes a priority. A 13-foot storage bay is tucked within the boat’s smartly trimmed console/cabin, with nearly 6 1/2 feet of headroom.

These blossoms imbue the air with a distinct sweetness, but that’s not where the song’s similarities end. Dripping with Texas hospitality but entrenched in German heritage, the small town of Fredericksburg is full of big surprises. The area is dotted with wineries, restaurants, adorable inns, and a historic Main Street where chains are not allowed and antique stores thrive. Perfect for romantic getaways or vacays with friends, this underthe-radar locale has it all. WILD ABOUT WILDFLOWERS For Texans, wildflower season is a rite of passage; locals will tell you it’s tradition

to dress in your Sunday best and pose in front of the coveted bluebonnets. Depending on the weather, the flowers usually reach their peak by late March and make a swift exit in May. To peep the ultimate fl ral kaleidoscope, head to Wildseed Farms (wildseedfarms.com) to wander through 200 acres bursting with bluebonnets, bright red poppies, and more. The farm also has butterfly gardens, a café, and a store where you can buy seedlings. IT’S ALWAYS WINE O’CLOCK Wine flows like water in Fredericksburg, with around 50 wineries and tasting rooms sprinkled along Highway 290. While the region isn’t as well-established as Napa or Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Fredericksburg winemakers are cutting their teeth on grapes that thrive in the dry, hot climate, such as Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Viognier, and Mourvèdre—and the possibilities are constantly evolving. “Every time we try to pin one down, we fin three or four more [grapes] that do well here,” says Tyler Turbeville of family-owned Narrow Path Winery (narrowpathwinery.com). A seam of solid limestone runs through the middle of Narrow Path’s vineyard, so the

FOOD COMA Fredericksburg lends a German accent to Texan food with a number of authentic restaurants, including Der Lindenbaum (derlindenbaum.com), which offers specialties such as schnitzel. Otto’s German Bistro (ottosfbg.com), owned by Evelyn and John Washburne, presents a creative spin on German fare as seen in plates like duck schnitzel with a blueberry demi-glace. A few doors down, the couple also operates La Bergerie Wine Bar & Shop (labergeriemarket.com), where they layer charcuterie boards with house-cured meats and Pinot Noir–soaked cheeses.

FAIRY-TALE DIGS Fredericksburg boasts a variety of accommodations. To be close to the action on Main Street, stay at The Lodge Above Town Creek (thelodgeabovetowncreek.com). Of the 16 roomy suites, a handful cover two stories, with a bedroom upstairs and a living room and bathroom downstairs. A breakfast basket is delivered to your door each morning, and evenings are reserved for sitting by the fire or pool with a glass of Fredericksburg wine. Another quaint option is the Fredericksburg Herb Farm

(fredericksburgherbfarm.com), with its sprawling grounds that evoke storybook scenes. The 14 charming Sunday Haus Cottages mimic the design of Fredericksburg’s historic “Sunday Houses,” one-room buildings German settlers used on the weekends when they came into town for church services or social gatherings. In between sightseeing, retreat to your porch to relax in a rocking chair or treat yourself to some pampering at the on-site Nature’s Spa. In season, romp through the farm’s small field of bluebonnets— just don’t forget your cowboy boots. visitfredericksburgtx.com ❖

One of the area’s first wineries, Becker Vineyards (beckervineyards.com), uses 100percent Texas grapes. Stop by to sip an award-winning Viognier, romp through a lavender field, and watch a spectacular sunset.

With mile-high banana cream or coconut meringue, pecan pies flavored with chocolate or bourbon, and several choices starring Fredericksburg’s famous peaches, it’s hard to go wrong. Lastly, don’t miss Chocolat, where owner Lecia Duke has mastered a 200-year-old European process of creating delicate sugar casts and spiking the thin chocolate shells with fine spirits and vino from local wineries.

or designer Ally Whalen, home is where her heart is. After years of designing children’s clothing for Healthtex, followed by a stint as director of corporate sales for Simplicity Interiors, she decided to follow her dream of becoming an interior designer. “I was inspired by my background in fashion,” says Whalen, 47, who got her start in interior design by beautifying the homes of friends and family. “But I love interior design more than fashion because there are so many aspects that fashion doesn’t have. It is my passion to create spaces. I love helping transform my clients’ lives with design.” Born and raised in Burlington, Vermont, Whalen recalls designing baby clothes for her dolls when she was a child. After earning a bachelor’s degree in apparel and textile design from UNC Greensboro in 1996, she spent 15 years honing her across-the-board talents. In 2011, she launched her namesake interior design business out of Charlotte, North Carolina (allywhalen.com), which now includes new

construction, renovation, curation, and design with a focus on primary residences and vacation homes. Known for coastal modern style, Whalen favors light, bright, and neutral with pops of color. “Nothing stuffy or overdone,” says the designer. Her industry talent has not gone unnoticed: Earlier this year, she was recognized as one of Fixr’s Top 200 Influencers in the interior design industry, was a top 10 finalist in Rowe Furniture’s Design Challenge, and was featured in the Rowe/Robin Bruce showroom at the 2021 High Point Market. This past January, Whalen and her husband, Scott (the owner of a security firm, who also works with Whalen on her business), moved from North Carolina to Stuart, lured by the glorious weather. She still has many clients in Charlotte and visits about once a month, but she says she prefers to work from Stuart. “I love the small-town feel,” she says. “It’s safe, and people are friendly. I like the weather, sunshine and breeze, and especially that

I can leave the windows open six months a year.” The Stuart home she and her husband bought earlier this year is the epitome of cottage chic. “I wanted a smaller house with a cozy feeling,” she says of the one-level, 1,650-square-foot house with three bedrooms and two baths located downtown. “It is very open and bright.” The overall color palette of the living area is beachy shades of tan, white, and soft blues. The living room has a vaulted ceiling and a fireplace with a sofa and chairs tailored in washable white linen slipcovers. Whalen updated an accent wall with fresh white wallpaper printed with taupe palm leaves. In the kitchen and dining area, the neutral tones are accentuated by wicker chairs and light fixtures and a white farmhouse-style table. “These rooms are conducive to family,” says Whalen, the mom of three children (two still live at home). “Although I don’t cook, my husband does. We’re so lucky—with a gas range, he’s chef quality!”

Whalen infused her son’s room with personality; sandy hues and ocean blues (below).

The coastal tones continue in the calming master bedroom, while the kids’ rooms have been decorated to suit them: Her 11-year-old daughter’s room has an “organic” feel in peach and green hues, plants, woven materials, and hanging pendants and baskets. “I like to bring texture to the room,” says the designer. In her 3-year-old son’s room, fun throw pillows, artwork, and wall decals add personality. Whalen has ordered new all-weather wicker furniture from Kingsley Bate, but while awaiting the delivery amidst the pandemic-driven disruptions in the international supply chain, the family is using some of their old pieces and just enjoying the home’s tropical feel and privacy. “I love everything about this house—especially the open yet cozy feel,” says Whalen. “I get happy as soon as I walk in. I feel my soul living here. I am blessed.” ❖

or those who embrace a life of activity, a backyard can be an opportunity to mix in a little recreation with relaxation. The key is to cast the diversion in the role of an exciting yet unexpected guest star rather than the headliner. With its sophisticated play on geometric shapes and tiles in varying shades of rich blue, it’s clear that the pool area is the captivating focal point of this outdoor space (shown at left). While it began as a spec project by Turtle Beach Construction, this Jupiter home would ultimately sell before completion, with the company incorporating elements in the finished design that cater speci cally to the client’s tastes. Among these is a putting green area (shown above), complete with a sand trap, set off to the side of the patio. The space pairs the client’s loves of golf and entertaining and infuses an air of amusement into the home’s polished exterior.

here are times when you want your outdoor landscape to serve as a backdrop for your environs and other times when you want the landscape to actually be the environs. When you opt for the latter, the space will offer distinct outdoor rooms, lushly designed with purpose. For this project, landscape designer Tyler Nielsen was tasked with creating a whimsical and vibrant garden that would provide the owner with total privacy. Thanks to the installation of mature palms and other trees along the property’s perimeter, as well as a dense native understory shrub buffer, the backyard was transformed into a secluded retreat. Nielsen artistically incorporated a diverse palette of plants that includes multiple varieties of grasses, shrubs, trees, philodendrons, and wildflowers—all of which were carefully selected to match the scale and stature of the surrounding architecture and frame it appropriately. The space is also rich with plant texture, an important element in creating a natural-looking garden as it provides interest, depth, and visual focal points. Sumptuously curvy outdoor furniture, along with sculptural planters, add to the organic nature of the space and play off the elegant hardscape design to help create the end result of a fascinating landscape that is at once alluring, livable, and immersive.

utdoor spaces that succeed in becoming the life of the party typically showcase a multifaceted personality. For this Juno Beach home, Lisa Peterson of Pineapples Design Group in Jupiter created separate outdoor areas for each of its intended uses— dining, conversation, and relaxation. A covered area equipped with plush seating, a mounted television, and a stylish bar with a built-in cooler serves as the ideal all-weather spot for visitors to chillax with a cocktail or cheer on their favorite team. As thoughts turn to food, a lighted outdoor kitchen gives chefs ample space to prepare epicurean treats while still remaining part of the outdoor festivities. A long, narrow dining table that overlooks the pool and ocean allows guests to maintain conversational closeness while being a thoughtful use of space. Numerous comfy seating areas spaced through the exterior beckon guests to settle in and spend some time mingling with one another.

REFRESH! GIVE YOUR HOME A TRENDY UPDATE WITH THESE TIPS FROM LOCAL DESIGNERS

very year, the interior design industry rolls out its annual haul of home décor trends—some fleeting and some that persevere for decades, even centuries. With cooler weather upon us and the holidays fast approaching, it’s a good time to preen your home, or even just one room, in the most au courant fixations. Here, local designers Jennifer Ribek of Jennifer Ribek Interior Design in Jupiter

This dining area incorporates natural design through texture, tone, and live foliage.

(jenniferribek.com) and Baylee Knipe of Baylee Deyon Design in Palm City (bayleedeyondesign.com) weigh in on some of their favorite trends and share some advice for incorporating them into your home.

BIOPHILIC/NATURAL DESIGN According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average American spends a whopping 93 percent of life indoors. The backbone of biophilic design is using natural and wholesome materials, plants, lighting, and other sensorial design elements to create an organic oasis that energizes, refreshes, and connects us with nature. “Bringing the outdoors in is all about blurring the line between us and the outside,” says Palm City–based designer Baylee Knipe. “You can achieve this look by incorporating nature-inspired wall coverings such as a natural grass cloth or palm frond– patterned wallpaper.” She also recommends punctuating your pad with plants and other lush greens, whether with ceiling planters, a potted fiddle leaf tree, or a living wall. Jupiter-based designer Jennifer Ribek suggests weaving in furniture composed of natural materials like rattan or wicker (“They were so trendy in the CLAUDIA BELL

2000s and have made a major comeback”), jute or hemp-mixed rugs, and wall paints in warm colors and earthy tones. You can also lend texture, Ribek adds, with wooden elements like picture frames and decorative bowls or fill a clay vase with flower buds and leaves for an organic touch.

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCES Take a subliminal vacation with help from furnishings and textiles from all over the globe. “By incorporating ornamental details, textiles, and furnishings from different parts of the world, you can create a feeling you are somewhere else,” Ribek says. “This is so important, since traveling today is not as easy as it once was.” Pick a destination you love, then look at online photographs to get a better sense of the country’s colors, textures, and tones. Says Ribek: “Even a photo from your travels can be the anchor for your design choices.” You might incorporate Asian influences, Aztec tribal tributes, beachy vibes, or a dash of Southwestern élan. Ribek notes that Balinese and Moroccan flair are popular themes. “When I think of Bali, I imagine white sofas, hand-carved wooden coffee tables, and sheer drapes. If you want a piece of Morocco, combine lots of pillows in beautiful jewel tones and hand-painted tiles with hanging lamps.”

GRANDMILLENNIAL STYLE “There are a lot of amazing details that go into the ‘granny chic’ style, which I define as vintage with a touch of today,” says Ribek. “The mix of vintage goods with today’s style is something that is so fun to do because you are bringing life out of history.” Begin with a fabulous wallpaper or fabric with colors that can be highlighted around the room in furnishings and accessories, including art, pillows, or even lighting. Next, layer lace adornments and needlepoint pillows with your heirlooms and curios like the overseas. “These things have value and add such greatness to your home,” says Ribek.

COLOR POP From top: The key to color pop is keeping the main furniture pieces neutral-toned, says designer Baylee Knipe; bright, patterned pillows add pizzazz.

There are many reasons why neutral colors like white, beige, and gray are the deities of interior design. Not only do they make us feel relaxed, but they also serve as a focal point in minimalistic and monochromatic design, two trends that have staying power. But just because these subdued tones are in style, that doesn’t mean you can’t take that color wheel for a spin. “I like the main furniture pieces and the rug to remain neutral, and I’ll incorporate strong color through pillows, artwork, and paint,” says Knipe. “This allows you to switch items out with the seasons, or as you please, without having to replace a whole sofa if you get sick of it.” Simple things like adding a large rug or runner, indoor blooms, or a lampshade in a bright pattern or hue are easy to replace and can make a big impact.

MAXIMALISM Unlike Japandi, a portmanteau of Japanese and minimalism, maximalism is a “more is more” style with the ability to balance furnishings, collections, and even

Don’t forget to show your walls some lovin’ too. Palm City–based Ken Hooper Capozzi, a design consultant and member of the board of directors for the Arts Council of Martin County, gives the lowdown on what’s trending in the art world.

tchotchkes with vibrant textures and bold hues—all under the same ceiling. “I love that there aren’t really any rules that have to be followed with this trend,” says Knipe. “It’s just decorating a space with items that make you happy and not caring if it’s over-the-top because it works.” Happiness is key to designing a maximalist room, which should be stocked with cheery hues and everything you love, even if it feels contradictory. Knipe recommends picking a starting point: “Think of it as your ground zero.” It could be a terrazzo tile floor, wallpaper with punchy stripes, or even a Marvel movie poster. Create cohesion by matching your favorite colors and patterns in furniture pieces, throw pillows, area rugs, and art, which also gives the eye something to absorb.

MULTIFUNCTIONAL SPACES Thanks to COVID, our homes have served us in more ways than we could have ever imagined. For many, they act as a workplace, school, restaurant, and gym all at once. “[COVID] has created a real need for multipurpose spaces,” says Knipe. “Rooms now need to do double or even triple duty, whether it’s making an open floor plan more functional or maximizing a small nook.” Determine how the room will be utilized, then designate separate areas (rugs or room dividers can be helpful here) for different activities. For instance, if you want a spot to watch movies and entertain, Knipe recommends pairing a comfortable sectional around the television with lounge chairs and a storage ottoman that can serve as a tabletop. “Dualpurpose furniture is key here,” she says. And a standing desk with an under-the-desk treadmill placed in a sunny corner is perfect for anyone who has to work, and workout, at home. ❖

METAL PRINTS Printing high-definition images on metal panels like aluminum has become a big movement. It’s much different than printing on canvas—metal prints are so crisp and clean, they almost look real. Plus, they’re fairly inexpensive. GLASS Colored or sculptured, more and more people are buying glass for their shelves and bookcases. With LED lighting, you can light it very easily without running wires everywhere. A fine piece of glass will never go out of style if it’s properly displayed and lit. SCULPTURE It’s not necessarily a trend, but sculpture is a great way to add character to a room. I like metal art—it could be copper, silver, or brass, in geometric shapes, and it could hang on the wall or sit behind your couch. When it comes to metals, my motto is, the more you mix, the more it lasts forever.
