Planning for a Successful Retirement

“Is it safe to retire or should I wait?” Industryrecognized Financial Advisors with Tiano, Armour & Smyth Wealth Managers at J.P. Morgan Securities share key ideas on achieving a successful retirement.

You’ve worked hard to achieve a successful retirement. But when shifting from savings to spending, it’s critical to get the most out of your assets. It may seem overwhelming to calculate how much you’ll need to sustain yourself and your family through retirement, but smart planning will ensure that you meet your goals.

Your respected advisor can help you plan for the retirement you want. Planning principles will help you calculate how lifestyle spending, educational expenses, healthcare needs and Social Security fit into your overall retirement picture. “When it comes to retirement, we consider your individual needs in the context of your entire balance sheet and long-term goals,” says Louise Armour. “Clients look to us for longterm advice on an array of wealth management and retirement income needs.”

Plan for a long life. Living longer affects key retirement decisions, such as how to make the most of your time, how to invest, when to claim Social Security, and whether you may need longterm care. If you’re 65 and in good health, your retirement plan may need to account for 30 more

years of living expenses. Thus, your investments must grow long after you stop working to keep pace with inflation and reduce the risk of outliving your money.

Start early, and save, save, save. Make savings a priority during your working years to achieve a successful retirement. A good goal is to save 10% of your gross annual income each and every year—twice the U.S. average annual savings rate. Optimize your savings by opening tax-advantaged accounts such as 401(k)s, IRAs and HSAs. If you’re a business owner, your advisor can explore with you the different types of plans that can be established to reap the benefits of saving. John Smyth says, “The earlier you start to save and invest, the more time your retirement assets will have to compound.”

Adjust as circumstances change. Spending and investing in retirement are intertwined. Your advisor can help determine an appropriate level of spending and can structure your investment portfolio to achieve your goals. “Review your investments to ensure your portfolio balances the need for safety, growth and income in a way that suits you on both a practical and psychological basis,” advises Sal Tiano.

Fit Social Security into the picture. Plan when to take Social Security based on factors such as life expectancy, marriage status, and

Promotion

whether you’re the primary wage earner in your family. If you’re married, delaying Social Security may help, particularly if you’re the primary wage earner of a couple, and your portfolio offers that flexibility. Calculate how much your investment portfolio will generate in the period between retiring and when you begin to claim Social Security.

Work with the right advisor at the right time. Work with an advisor to achieve longterm financial success. “We offer our clients stability and commitment. When it comes to retirement, planning is the bedrock of success.”

Sal Tiano, Louise Armour and John Smyth of Tiano, Armour & Smyth Wealth Managers at J.P. Morgan Securities collectively have 85-plus years of wealth management experience. The team is 13-members strong, each contributing unique expertise and forming a cohesive unit with the common goal of “client first.”

What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is often referred to as “Old-School Medicine.” It is a return to the medical relationship of yesteryear, a period when your physician had the time to get to know you as a person and became a vital part of your family. Concierge medical models vary, but most share the common theme of care provided by one physician with limited enrollment numbers and availability around the clock. Much like fitness facilities and country clubs, concierge physicians do oblige some form of an annual enrollment fee.

Whirlwind Weddings

N

o matter our age, people around us are always getting married. Whether they are planning their own wedding, a child’s or even a second big day.

I get invited to many each year, and the new trend is to celebrate them at country clubs, local county barns or farms and beautiful beachfront resorts. All make for awesome venues to spend the first few hours as a new Mr. and Mrs. With that, we are proud to present the second-annual Bridal Issue. Every year, we pick a new destination to photograph wedding fashion, and this year we chose the local country club, Harbour Ridge. Known for its beauty and magnificent clubhouse on the Indian River, it’s a perfect spot to have family and friends celebrate.

We invited local floral arranger Linda Oliver and the staff from Harbour Bay Florist to design something different and colorful with their spectacular florals.

East Coast Bridal supplied the gowns, and the jewelry is from G. Alan’s Fine Jewelry. And what would our shoot be without an incredible cake? The Cake Lady Custom Cakes created a wonderful three-flavored cake just for us, which was beautiful.

The logistics of a major wedding have to begin months before the big day. Our Now and Forever wedding of choice this year took place in Fort Pierce, celebrating Allyson Sue Hayes and William Gardner Steven Lyshon. I fell in love with this couple who met in high school, went their own ways to explore the world and then reconnected and fell in love.

We are also showcasing a list of vendors for your perfect day in our wedding directory as well as in “Perfect Presents,” featuring local items from around town and beyond for your wedding gift needs, curated by our very own Kayla Walsh.

We hope you enjoy our hair feature on page 33. We love the looks Wave Hair Color and Design Studio created that were brought to life by Aviana Shapiro and photographer Haley “Lee” McCartney. Send us photos of your bridal hair if this team inspired your wedding day look, or call them for a consultation for your big day!

We are wishing the future brides and grooms all the best. Once in a while in the middle of ordinary life, love gives you a fairy tale.

HARP’S RESTAURANT

S

pecializing in hand-cut steaks, house-made pasta and seafood, Harp’s Restaurant is a relatively recent addition to the Stuart dining scene. The dining space is intimate with coastalchic decor and a friendly, casual ambiance. For those in search of a meal and some excitement, Harp’s on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights features live piano music. There’s also a Sunset Dinner special served daily from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

During a recent visit, my husband and I started with two popular appetizers: the Thick Cut Onion Rings and the Grilled Shrimp Cocktail. The house-made onions rings, served with a creamy remoulade sauce, were hot, crispy and addictive. The grilled shrimp came with a classic cocktail sauce and were flavorful and succulent.

Even though portions at Harp’s are generous, we couldn’t refuse the basket of hot house-made rolls and whipped butter.

My husband ordered the

Prime Rib Special (served every Thursday, Friday and Saturday) for his main course. The thick slice of beef was Instagramworthy and was served au jus and with creamed spinach. Future diners have the option to order a different side such as cabbage and onions or buttered mushrooms.

I ordered the grilled Australian Lamb Chops, which had an outstanding flavor that was enhanced by a house-made mint sauce. I chose lyonnaise potatoes for my side dish, a buttery mix of sautéed potato chunks and onions. On my next visit, I plan to try one of the fresh pasta dishes our server recommended.

If you are thinking about ordering dessert, make it the New York cheesecake. It’s served with a crushed raspberry sauce and fresh whipped cream.

Next time you’re in need of a new place to dine, take my advice and makes plans to visit this popular restaurant soon—just be sure to make reservations first.

Cosmetics with Care Melanie Petschke and Kelly Weston founded Crunchi, an organic makeup company based in Stuart.

By Clarissa Buch | Photography by Ian Jacob

W

hen Melanie Petschke and Kelly Weston launched Crunchi, an organic makeup and skin care company, in 2016, the entire operation was run out of Weston’s home in Stuart. Three years later, their dream to revolutionize the beauty industry with a line of high-performance, safe and toxin-free products has become a reality.

Today, they run a 5,000-square-foot office and facility with 25 employees. They also manage more than 1,300 brand ambassadors around the country.

“When we first launched, we had a handful of products, including lip gloss, brushes and concealer, and they took off like wildfire,” Weston says.

They knew there was a need for safe and transparent cosmetics companies, but Weston says they didn’t realize how big that need was.

“We’re challenging mainstream, conventional cosmetic companies that use ingredients we’d never allow in our products,” Petschke says. “It’s a long process, but with each product release, it’s more gratifying.”

What does it mean when you say Crunchi is clean and toxin-free?

W: Because of a lack of regulation, the United States Food and Drug Administration allows cosmetic companies to use toxic chemicals known to be harmful in their products. As a result, chemicals linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, developmental toxicity and many other health concerns are hidden in the cosmetics women are using on their bodies every day. We at Crunchi have set a new standard for cosmetic safety so you no longer have to compromise your beauty for your health, or your health for your beauty.

How did you two come together to create Crunchi?

W: I’m a family nurse practitioner, and

24

MAY/JUNE 2019

at the time, Melanie was a pharmaceutical representative. We had both just moved to the area and we both had two-year-old children and were pregnant with our second. We had a lot in common, including both of us trying to make cleaner choices for our family. What we slowly started to learn was our choices went far beyond what kind of food we were eating.

What we really struggled with was cosmetics, and at one point, we thought we found a brand that would solve the problem—until we realized we were duped by greenwashing.

What sets Crunchi apart from other clean beauty brands?

W: We search high and low for manufacturers who are willing to work with our high standards. We have two landmarks we’re trying to achieve: Safety in terms of ingredients and overall performance, which means we set out to create products that actually work. That’s why development takes such a long time for us. It’s easy to make a product that’s safe but doesn’t really perform. Just try the many foundations out there that are cakey and chalky.

What are “blacklisted ingredients”?

P: The challenge with having a blacklist is there are hundreds of thousands of chemicals that companies can use in products. It’s impossible to list them all. On our list, we try to label the heavy hitters that are most commonly seen in conventional products that have some sort of research on their harmful effects, be it evidence of endocrine disruption or carcinogenic properties.

What’s your advice to anyone who wants to live a cleaner life?

W: It’s extremely overwhelming to think you need a Ph.D. or a medical degree to go shopping for your family, but it’s important to remember that this is a journey.

There’s no right or wrong way to take it.

Look at your body as a whole and think about the accumulation of all the environmental factors at play. There’s so much we can’t control, like the pesticides on the lawn where our kids play or the air we breathe outside. What you can do is control what you bring into your home, the food you eat and what you put on your body.

What’s next for Crunchi?

W: We’re really focusing on product development across all fields, from cosmetics to overall body care like soaps and deodorants. First up on our list is a body bar soap that’s detoxifying, exfoliating. We’re also moving away from using plastic as packaging because it’s both harmful to our body and the environment.

Vows and Views Zai De Guzman is making a living out of elopement photography, traveling all over the world taking pictures of people who want to get married in incredible locales.

By Amy Woods Photography by Lindsey Potter

S

he is a shutterbug of sui generis proportions, her immersive, intimate images reflecting not only the lives of those lost in love, but also the lands where their matrimonies are celebrated.

Zai De Guzman travels the world capturing couples in picturesque places where every hug, kiss, cuddle and crack-up pushes the paradigm of traditional wedding photography.

“I tell my brides that their photos are going to look dated someday, and to me, that’s a beautiful thing,” De Guzman says.

“They’re not going to be classic. They’re not going to be timeless. They’re not going to be grip-and-grin. They’re going to be authentic.”

This month, she will jet off to meet Jose and Jamie in Costa Rica for an exotic elopement under a waterfall. She recently returned from Scotland where she shot Piotr and Cinthya tying the knot in a castle. In July, she will document an already married pair as they hike up a trail in Lake Tahoe, California, to re-exchange vows. Future destinations for De Guzman include Egypt, Israel and Turkey.

“I just tend to want to make people feel happy,” De Guzman says. “I say to them, ‘Don’t ever feel like you have to look at the camera. In fact, pretend there’s not a camera.’”

The 31-year-old Jensen Beach resident works her magic behind the lens of a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV and uses Adobe Lightroom software to give her candids and stills an earthy tonality that is both romantic and rustic.

MAY/JUNE 2019

“I loved looking through my parents’ old photo albums,” says De Guzman, a former columnist for The Stuart News who earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from Florida International University. “I’ve probably looked through them 20 times, the same ones, over and over again. That is what inspired me.”

Of all your journeys, which destination stands out as a favorite?

Of the places where I have photographed weddings and elopements, the destination that stands out most is this last one in Scotland. It was in a castle on a cliff. The sceneries were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I was in complete awe. Of the places I’ve traveled to overall, my favorite destination has been Barcelona, Spain.

Name some bands on your playlist.

I kind of tend to listen to music that matches the country where I’m at. Lately I’ve been listening a ton to Sylvan Esso, Maggie Rogers and George Ezra.

What do you like most about living in Jensen Beach?

I love the small-town charm here. I love that I am a bike ride from the beach and that, wherever I go, people know each other’s names.

Where can we find you when you’re not traveling?

When I’m not traveling, I’m often just home and in my garden. I can travel anywhere in the world and still yearn to be back home.

THE FISHING CHRONICLES

Daniel Russo, known on air as “Dano,” is the executive producer and host of “The Love Doctors” on Real Radio 94.3 FM and 101.7 FM. He is a seasoned angler with more than 25 years of experience.

FRESHWATER FISHING

T

he best way to describe the chains and bodies of freshwater in Florida is that they resemble the clearest, coolest looking aquarium in a showcase display. And with Florida’s unbeatable climate, there’s no match to how freshwater fishing can be just as competitive to anglers who prefer saltwater.

While drifting across a scenic basin, my eyes fill with sights of cabbage palms and tall oaks covered in Spanish moss that hang off the branches like blankets. The wildlife is bountiful. There are birds of prey floating on a shifting wind. And, below, is a vast amount of ample waterfowl, baitfish and lily pads settled between tall grasses protruding from the water’s shimmering appearance. But wait—there’s more. Fish! Lots of them.

Beyond the untouched sense of natural beauty in our state’s freshwater lakes are largemouth bass waiting to ambush a bait—and strike hard they will.

I was first introduced to bass angling with a dear friend. I fell head-over-heels in love with the picturesque setting. And at the same time, a real passion for the saltwater fishing alternate developed.

Utilizing most of what I’ve learned when angling in saltwater, in addition to spending years tackling the backcountry, inland and offshore saltwater, I needed some tweaking to my freshwater approach, but the feeling of landing a fish was just as exhilarating. Whether using a fly rod, bait caster or spinning reel, fishing in freshwater has given me another true way to enjoy my fascination with fishing in Florida.

Above all, when saltwater fishing isn’t a viable option, I go catch some incredible species of freshwater fish. There are many tactics and techniques that can influence catching freshwater fish, but all in all, even a novice can enjoy a day on Florida’s mesmerizing freshwaters.

Home Beautiful Nicole A. Bertke is a Treasure Coast real estate professional.

In her monthly column, she covers what home owners need to know.

LUXURY IS IN THE DETAILS: EXQUISITE CEILINGS

O

ne of the most-appreciated facets when showing a luxury property is the attention given to the ceilings of a home.

“Ceilings should further a home’s expressive look and feel,” says Ariel G. Chen, owner and principal designer at The Crafted Chen based in Port St. Lucie.

Although homes in lower price points may move beyond the typical flat, white ceiling, in luxury properties, exquisite ceilings are expected, incorporating beautiful designs and materials. Some of the more common styles include tray, coffered, coved, cathedral/vaulted, barrel vaulted or the groin vaulted.

A tray ceiling is built upward with cutouts resembling a tray that are deeper than the outer edge. For dramatic effect, there may be multiple steps or edges upward.

A coffered ceiling is created with sunken panels of various shapes and sizes that create a grid pattern. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, coffered ceilings can help absorb sound or define an area in an open floor plan.

Once common in even modest homes, coved ceilings have a curve, rather than a sharp angle, between the wall and ceiling. They are beautiful but can make it challenging to transition from wall to ceiling with different paints or materials.

Cathedral or vaulted ceilings resemble an inverted “V” and make a room appear larger by drawing the eye upward. Similarly, the barrel vault resembles an inverted “U.” Even more striking, the groin vault is created by the intersection of right angles of two barrel vaults. It’s the ceiling often thought of when envisioning European churches from the Middle Ages.

All of these ceiling designs are further embellished in luxury homes through the use of added materials such as rare woods, stones, metals and even artist renderings. Executed well, the ceiling design will capture the attention of homeowners and visitors alike.

around to look at him, he was down on one knee, and I said ‘yes.’”

Her family and friends celebrated together after.

HOW THEY MET: Will and Ally’s love story began 15 years ago when they met at a party in high school. Will was close friends with Ally’s brother. They dated in school before moving in two different directions—Ally attending Troy University in Troy, Alabama, on a rodeo scholarship, and Will taking a job as a mate to travel the world in fishing tournaments. The two reconnected when they returned home, and they immediately started dating.

ON SELECTING THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION SITES: They chose First United Methodist Church in Fort Pierce for

HOW THEY KNEW THEY’D FOUND THE ONE: Will says

he knew Ally was the one the first day he met her. Ally remembers everything feeling so perfect once they started seeing one another again, even after so many years apart. “Will and I had time to grow up and figure out what we wanted, and I think we both knew immediately we wanted to start a life together and have a family,” she says. “We have so much in common and have always supported each other.”

ON THE PROPOSAL: Will asked Ally to have dinner with his

family with photos being taken after for the Christmas card that year.

As she walked up to the Pelican Yacht Club dock around sunset, she saw her niece and nephew wearing shirts that read, “Aunt Ally, will you marry Uncle Will?” Ally recalls, “I started crying, and as I turned

the ceremony since Will’s family are members and his sister also wed there. Pelican Yacht Club holds a special place in their hearts as it’s a family tradition—that’s where the proposal took place, and it’s where Ally’s mother and sister and Will’s sister held their wedding receptions.

ON THE THEME: The reception was decorated in ivory and gold— with lots of sparkle. A large floral arrangement of white roses and hanging orchids sat at each table with chairs draped in curly willow Champagne sashes. There were sparkly gold reef chargers and matching gold diamond napkin rings. The ceiling was draped with white linen and gold lighting, and there was even a red carpet entrance with a 10-foot hanging backdrop that displayed Ally and Will’s names.

ON THE FIRST DANCE: The couple chose to play “I Cross My

Heart” by George Strait for the first dance, which Will played to Ally for the first time when he was 20 years old. “It has always been our song,” he says. Traxx Entertainment also created “dancing on the clouds,” which blended white smoke that surrounded them as they enjoyed the special moment.

gulfstreammediagroup.com

ON THE CAKE: The wedding cake was topped off at seven layers, which The Cake Lady executed perfectly.

Each layer was wrapped in gold sequin trim and was etched in a floral design. The couple chose a pink moscato filling, and a floral arrangement of white roses and orchids draped down the side of the cake.

Will’s mother and Ally also designed a peanut butter cupfilled groom’s cake that was a replica of Will’s new custom Conch boat built in Stuart. The groomsmen surprised Will with it lit with sparklers on top.

ON THE SPECIAL DETAILS: Prior to the reception, Will and Ally stopped at a local fire department to take pictures with a fire truck. Another favorite memory includes their sparkler-lined send-off at the Pelican Yacht Club. As Will and Ally stepped into the limousine to leave the reception, a beautiful fireworks display lit up the night sky for guests to enjoy.

Genealogy Journey A writer poses the soliloquy: to spit or not to spit?

Photos and words by A LY S S A M O R L A C C I

T

here were reasons to not spit in the plastic tube, send it through the mail and discover my ancestry. I’d flown to visit my parents for the holidays and discovered four rainbow-colored boxes stacked on their kitchen counter from 23andMe. Inside those boxes were slender vials awaiting our saliva. They would be shipped back to the company, which would tell us our family’s origins.

The first reason to not spit was I’d be willingly giving up my DNA, which could be subpoenaed. I didn’t plan on committing any crimes, but I disliked no longer having the option.

The second reason to not spit was more so the reason.

Last summer, I traveled to Italy. I saw my relatives’ faces in the hook-nosed and dark-featured passersby. I felt a homecoming like never before during a visit to any foreign place.

By taking the test, I could discover I was less Italian than I’d spent my life believing. This new awareness could be exciting. But just weeks after my grandmother’s death, I felt I’d prefer ignorance over discovering I was less like her than I’d always hoped to be.

68

MAY/JUNE 2019

W

hen my sister and I were tiny enough to pretzel our legs on kitchen table seats, my grandmother put Gloria Gaynor on a tiny CD player. We untwisted our limbs and popped like corn with our bare feet bouncing off of cheap linoleum floor tiles. My grandmother grabbed a spoon and used it as her microphone to sing “I Will Survive.” Soda fizzed from my nostrils from laughing so hard.

My grandmother was quite the survivor. She was a single mother in the 1970s, working in a factory, and in her later years, at J.C. Penney Co. “It was awful,” she’d tell us. “Awful exciting.”

She wasn’t negative or positive—she was both. Complaints or compliments always had cunning edges meant to make her audiences laugh. This was usually accomplished through the use of swear words. She attributed her vocabulary to years working in the factory. But she never used her words to express anger. She used them for comedic effect.

My grandmother lived with her mother in a plantation-style, two-story home that had a sprawling wrap-around porch. The bathtub was nearly falling through the ceiling, and those linoleum

gulfstreammediagroup.com

kitchen floors peeled up during sticky summers.

My grandmother’s brain began to go when her mother died at 95 years old. We moved my grandmother from their crumbling home, which was already too big for two people, to a one-story place she hated. It felt like her mental decline was a rebellion for what we’d done, moving her out of her house where she’d wave to the neighbors from the porch.

T

here were reasons to go to Italy that summer, but the most important one was the progression of my grandmother’s Alzheimer’s, which made the completion of this journey during her lifetime feel pressing.

We arrived first in Rome.

When we told our driver that our next destination was in the Abruzzo region—where our relatives were from—he made a fist with his hand and struck the top of his head.

“Capotosto,” he said. “Land of hard heads.”

We looked at one another, stunned, and then burst into laughter. My father’s grandmother was terribly stubborn.

Her name was Teadora. She came overseas like many during the early 1900s.

She was 9 years old, alone, arriving at Ellis Island with only a picture of her father in her pocket to help identify him. He had gone to America to find work before the rest of the family joined, so the story goes.

Teadora didn’t talk much to me—or to anyone. Some of my only memories are of her barging into the bathroom on us mid-session. If she caught you with a toilet paper strand stretching the length of a happy birthday banner, she’d snatch it and rip off a square, scrolling the rest back onto the roll.

One square per bathroom visit—that was the rule.

I thought it was because they were poor, or incredibly frugal. They often fixed the car with duct tape; they preserved the couches by never taking the plastic covers off; and I once saw my grandmother take a stash of latex gloves from a hospital our relative was being treated at so she could use them to box-dye her jet-black hair.

So, I didn’t think to Google an image of Castel di Sangro, a four-hour train ride east of Rome, before arriving. I figured the town would be small and remote, as it is.

But I did not think it would be carved into a mountainside; peppered with red flowers in pots on wiry balconies; navigable by cobblestone streets; parallel to a river; and

gulfstreammediagroup.com

topped with a century-old church that rings its beautiful bell from a tower at 6 p.m. daily.

My family ran around town like kids on a scavenger hunt, looking for clues that would hint at who Teadora was, and in turn, who we are.

We stopped in a gallery showing art from the era when she lived there. We searched the paintings for her face, only to realize we didn’t know her face—the face she had when she was young. Her trace seemed to be lost with time.

E

piphanies often happen in bathrooms as water pellets strike the day off of skin— the mind wandering, then back in the shower, as it’s come up with a wonderful idea, or conclusion, or discovery.

Mine was a discovery; only it wasn’t reached by deep thought, or in the shower.

I was instead poised on porcelain, staring at a wall the color of a green Smartie after it’d been sucked on for some time. It was attached to a quaint hotel room decorated with floral bedspreads and curtains done in the same shade.

I reached for a strand of toilet tissue.

Only, there wasn’t a roll to be found. There was just a dispensary, which allotted one paper square. It was as if she’d barged in on me again.

“One sheet.”

W

hen the test results from 23andMe entered my email inbox on a Wednesday morning, I didn’t open it. I didn’t open it the

next day, or the next, either.

I finally queued up the message while I was on a train in New York City and showed my percentages to a stranger sitting next to me. Seeing how little he cared brought me comfort.

But I’ll share the results with you now, since you’ve stuck out this entire story. According to the data collector, I am 38 percent Italian. That’s 12 percent less than what I told my classmates in elementary school. That’s—weirdly—5 percent less than my sister’s results.

And that’s 62 percent less than what my last name, Morlacci, suggests.

But I think about that square of paper often, and how my great grandmother carried that policy through her life, regardless of her address. I think about my grandmother and her swear words, and her attempts to still make me laugh even at the end of her life when she didn’t know me anymore.

Our habits, our quirks, our behaviors— and most importantly, our people—those are what make us who we are. Not a silly pie chart procured from a plastic tube of spit.

Start your own ancestry adventure Genetic testing kits like 23andMe, MyHeritage DNA and AncestryDNA ran massive sales during the holidays, so it’s likely by now you or someone you know has participated. But that’s only the beginning. Now that the results are in, embark on a discovery of your past.

1. Connect with family members. The testing kits’ online resources gather regions of the world your bloodline traces back to—and it links you to family members far beyond first, second and third cousins. Reach out, have conversations and puzzle together family stories and timelines. Perhaps even plan a visit.

2. Take a tour led by experts. Once you have a solid idea of the regions and cities your ancestors originate from, plan a trip through tailored tour programs by providers like Go Ahead Tours via Ancestry. Included in the package is a DNA kit—in case you’re late to the game—a pre-trip family history review and the pairing of an ancestry genealogist who joins the tour to provide insight and answer questions as you embark on your trip to Ireland, Germany, Scotland and more.

3. DIY. Skip the research, the connections, the tour guides and just go.

RISK VS. REWARD DESIGNER H. ALLEN HOLMES DEFIES THE RULES BY BLENDING STYLES AND ERAS TO ECLECTIC PERFECTION.

By Robin Hodes

W Photography by Matt Shaw

hen the owners of an impressive Jupiter residence, one of multiple projects with interior designer H. Allen Holmes, stay in their part-time home, they bring essentially nothing but their toothbrushes. Along with a beloved raven sculpture, those are the only things they’ll pack whenever or wherever they decide to relocate. The mysterious black bird has undoubtedly seen many design styles as it’s traveled from home to home with the owners, now witnessing a sprawling 7,200-square-foot tour de force, featuring five bedrooms and seven baths, set along the Loxahatchee River.

“Their other homes were either entirely modern or completely classic,” Holmes says of the owners’ previous residences and ever-changing taste. “But for this one, we were going for something in-between.” The hard part was finding the “sweet spot” between past and present. Holmes acknowledges the dramatic trend shift from Mediterranean revival to modern. “I think it’s a challenge for designers,” he says. “How do you adapt a classically finished home into something more contemporary?”

Always on the hunt for inspiration, Holmes took the clients to see the renovated Boca Raton Resort and Club. “I had mixed feelings about it losing its Mizner-esque quality,” Holmes recalls. “But when I

saw it, I was amazed by how tastefully it was done.” He admired how the hotel’s design team had performed an amazing stunt: blending antique and modern elements within the same space. The homeowners agreed, and a plan of attack was hatched.

Never one to shy away from risk, Holmes embraced the challenge.

“I didn’t have any qualms about whitewashing the house,” he reflects.

Immediately, he started painting the walls and existing neoclassical columns and moldings “decorators’ white.” Holmes broke free from the norms, allowing furnishings from various time periods to share a single space. His methodology was to “keep the bones” of the classical, and “sprinkle in” the contemporary.

Using his refined eye while fearlessly throwing caution to the wind, he let 18th century-inspired pieces coexist with midcentury modern ones and

MAY/JUNE 2019

allowed traditional columns and arches to harmonize with contemporary LED lighting and ceiling fans. Leaving few epochs and regions unturned, he created an eclectic style, which he calls “international modern.”

columns and arched windows and doors, plus corbel detailing beneath the roofline, speak a neoclassical vernacular, but in lieu of the carriage lanterns, unconventional LED sconces made of matte steel and frosted glass light the way, suggesting change is on the horizon.

ENTRANCE GATE The tone of grandeur is set with the impressive entryway, which leads to the motor court beyond.

Understated classic archways supporting a Spanish-tiled rooftop are adorned by an abundance of lush greenery and flanked by manicured hedges and verdant lawns. Tall palm trees stand proudly to welcome visitors as they pass through. Little do newcomers know what eclectic surprises are in store.

FOYER Once inside the elegant foyer, little doubt remains—this is going to be different. A loveseat that references the Baroque period is unexpectedly upholstered in sleek black leather.

A four-legged center table boasts a high-lacquer sheen, and a massive light fixture, comprised of pale wood strips rolled into the shape of a “gift bow,” hangs down from a two-tiered, hexagonal niched ceiling.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS From the moment the front façade comes into view, a subtle transformation begins. A series of simple

that once were black iron, and paint them white. To complement the foliage motif, he treated the treads with a black and white needlepoint runner in a leaf pattern. A tall chandelier dripping with polished ebony metal tubes injects a dose of modernity.

LIVING ROOM Working in a mostly neutral palette of white and cream, Holmes invigorates the room with throw pillows in a primary colored pattern, an ode to Mondrian. They are strategically placed on the pair of gently sloped, low-profile contemporary sofas that sit on either side of the neoclassical fireplace painted white. Cocktail tables shine like wet stones, and to complement their silvery finish, the designer set a sizeable geometric stainless-steel sculpture upon the mantel. “I felt there should be something tall and 3D to create a ‘relief,’” says Holmes of his audacious design choice.

The living room is an exercise in curvature, with contoured sofas and organic, river rock-inspired molded resin cocktail tables.

MEETING FOR MEALS Midcentury modern is in full swing in the family room and breakfast room, as well as the adjoining dining room, where distinguishing artwork is displayed throughout. Bent glass tables, minimal sofas, low-slung lounge chairs and a saarinen breakfast table complete the family room. A separate room includes a dining table made of glass and metal for more formal get-togethers.

KITCHEN To meet the demand for the crisp, bright kitchen so many crave nowadays, Holmes painted the kitchen cabinets white. He selected a massive slab of white marble defined by dramatic black veining. The designer

MAY/JUNE 2019

had the idea to finish the countertops with a laminated white monolithic sculpture he compares to a carved bar of Ivory soap. It took some ingenuity to fabricate, but the job got done. To amplify the dichotomy of styles, Holmes incorporated an enormous and ultramodern domed light fixture he’d always wanted to use.

MASTER BEDROOM The eclectic momentum continues into the master bedroom, where a geometric console sits below a mounted flat screen T.V. and a round banquette, like one might see in a historic European hotel lobby, adorns the sitting area. The streamlined, fully upholstered bed features a tall, buttontufted headboard, while glass and gloss nightstands end the design statement with modern punctuation.

gulfstreammediagroup.com

MASTER BATH Taking the beige Saturnia marble tile into consideration, Holmes continued that shade on the walls of the oversized shower, and then treated the tops of the protruding tub and his-and-her vanities with quartzite material, thus achieving a flawless “greige” color scheme in the master bath. The custom LED-lit mirrors are cutting-edge.

SCENIC VIEWS Since the homeowners cherish the outdoors so much, Holmes knew the backyard had to be spectacular. With an amazing pool and spa already working in his favor, he updated the space by replacing the terracotta tiles with a continuous slab of granite and added an array of minimalist, stark white patio furniture.

Fortunately, Holmes’ clients were receptive to his theory that when done right, a Hepplewhite-style oval-back chair can coexist in perfect harmony with a modern abstract painting. “I felt it worked, and so did they,” he says. Indeed, the design risks he took were many—but in the end, the reward significantly outweighed them.
