ocated on a quiet street in the Beaumont Farms neighborhood is a Lexington family’s peaceful suburban oasis, recently renovated to keep pace with maturing children and a small but energetic menagerie of pets. The home nestles up to the the Preserve at Beaumont Park – a 23-acre urban forest filled with wild turkeys, red fox and, even, a coyote. The acreage behind the house was a big selling point for the owners when they purchased the home in 2006. The active family of four, which includes a teenage lacrosse player and a middle-schooler who loves to sew, paint and bake, takes advantage of the accessible land with their two Golden Doodles, Palmer and Charlie. Another important member of the family is their cat, Mini – and the family’s recent renovation of the kitchen, bathrooms and basement was planned with children, adults and pets alike in mind.

Performance that earns confidence.

While the owners have always loved their Beaumont home, they eventually found the kitchen and bathrooms didn’t meet the needs of a family with growing children. Looking to make updates in some key areas of the home, they sought out the talents of Krisia Rosa, one of the principals of Lexington architecture firm Pohl Rosa Pohl, a firm known for blending a modern aesthetic with existing traditional elements. (The firm had remodeled a friend’s home, and they loved the results.) The home, built in 2000, encompasses nearly 3,700 square feet yet had a kitchen that felt small and closed in, especially given the size of the house. “The family wanted to cook together, but the kitchen lacked a functional flow,” says Rosa. A large new island topped with a Caesarstone quartz countertop creates a central gathering space and an additional food preparation area, adding to the overall functionality of the kitchen. Contractor Jim Smith of Showplace Home custom-built new walnut cabinets to replace the original cabinetry, giving the room a cleaner, more streamlined look. Textured Porcelanosa tile above the quartz countertop and new six-burner stovetop provide a visual break from the rest of the kitchen’s straight, modern lines. To add space for both storage and seating, the room was expanded to include a pantry and modest dining area – a more casual place for meals than the formal dining room.

The basement “cat highway” allows the timid family cat Mini some muchneeded relief from her canine brethren. PHOTO BY FRANK DÖRING

The kitchen remodel included a large Caeserstone quartz-topped island, new walnut cabinetry, Sonneman Grapes pendant lights and textured Porcelanosa tile.

In consideration of both children and pets, the kitchen renovation included the addition of a storage area for coats, shoes and backpacks, as well as a pet station that houses Palmer and Charlie’s food and water bowls and provides a place for treats and supplies. Not to be left out, cat Mini now has her own cat-sized entrance to the pantry, where her food is kept away from the dogs’ reach when the pantry door is closed. To accommodate the additional space, contractors replaced a small deck attached to the kitchen with a new one that includes access from both the kitchen and the living room. “The original deck was the same size but was built in such a way that there wasn’t space for seating. Krisia arranged the same amount of space so that we can now comfortably use the deck,” says the homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous. On the second floor, the spacious master bathroom shared a wall with a second bathroom that was too small for the family’s son and daughter. “They share that bathroom, and it needed to be expanded to fit a second sink so that they’d each have their own space,” explained the homeowner. A redesign of the two bathrooms gave away some square footage in the master but updated it at the same time to use the remaining area more efficiently. A deep Europeanstyle tub from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen and Lighting Gallery replaced the original garden tub, and a larger enclosure replaced the cramped shower, which is not only pleasing to the human occupants but is also a hit with the dogs, who shower there, as well. A skylight installed above the bathtub provides natural light, making it one of the homeowners’ favorite features. To maximize storage space, unobtrusive but functional shelving in the same walnut as the kitchen cabinets was added around the room.

Upstairs, two bathrooms that shared a wall were reconfigured and remodeled completely. The master bathroom (pictured in the top photo and lower right) features Porcelanosa tile on the wall, a deep European-style tub and a larger shower enclosure, with a skylight allowing ample natural light. The remodel on the bathroom shared by the family’s two children (lower left) replaced the original tub with a deep Japanese soaking tub and added an additional sink.

The children’s bathroom gained space for a second sink. The original tub was replaced with a shower enclosure and a Japanese soaking tub, which is shorter but much deeper than the standard American bathtub.

addition of a crafting space for the family’s daughter, as well as a bathroom, which the basement lacked.

The second phase of the renovation focused on the basement. While the basement was already finished, it consisted primarily of a storage area and lacked a functional communal space or layout. Reconfiguring the placement of some walls allowed for the

“The family wanted a heavy-duty sink for washing paintbrushes and cleaning sports equipment,” says Rosa, explaining the bathroom’s industrial sink. The kitchen addition also expanded the

basement, allowing the family to add a mudroom immediately inside the entrance from the garage that provides a needed repository for sports paraphernalia. A storage room directly across from the new mudroom provides an out-of-sight location for infrequently needed items, and the Homasote wall and sliding door, made of recycled compressed paper similar to papier mache, acts as a bulletin board.

The basement remodel allowed for a new mud room and plenty of space to accommodate the instruments, crafting and sports equipment for the family’s middle- and high-school children.

Replacing the former wall-to-wall carpeting with new cork flooring makes the basement more functional for a variety of activities as well as easier to clean, and the pool table and large television make it a popular gathering place for the children and their friends. As with the rest of the renovation, the basement renovation took into consideration the family pets’ needs as well as everyone else’s. Knowing that Minnie occasionally needs an escape from Palmer and Charlie, the basement incorporates a “cat highway” giving literal meaning to the phrase “catwalk”: a series of shelves that lead to a walkway near the ceiling, inaccessible to the dogs. Tiny doors along the stairs provide direct access to the walkway, or Minnie can climb the shelves to reach her private spot. “Our daughter used treats to quickly train Minnie to use the cat highway – she took to it right away,” said the homeowner.

The homeowners are thrilled with the renovations. The whole family uses the kitchen and basement more, and the children are more comfortable in their bathroom. All of the remodeled rooms feel more functional and, at the same time, more welcoming. Says the homeowner, “It’s a much happier space. We love it.” ss

Marikka’s New Digs Owners of one of Southland Drive’s original destination restaurants see a bright future for their big new facility STORY AND PHOTOS BY REGGIE BEEHNER

hen Marikka’s Restaurant & Bier Stube first opened in early 1991, the owners saw that on slow nights there wasn’t a whole lot for the waitstaff to do.

PHOTOS BY REGGIE BEEHNER

At top, Erik Hagihara, above, of Lexington, played pool at Marikka’s recently with friends. The recently renovated and expanded bar and restaurant features a bevy of games and entertainment options.

So Doug Tackett Jr., who was 17 at the time and worked in the kitchen with his father, set off for Walmart, determined to bring back something that might relieve the boredom. He returned with a cheap volleyball net and a floodlight, which he used to string up a court on a grassy patch behind the restaurant.

Marikka’s is one of the region’s only German restaurants, serving up homemade sausage and other traditional dishes. The beer hall stretches some 10,000 square feet and features all the old Marikka’s amenities: dart boards, pool tables, foosball, an expansive list of imports and speciality bottled beers, and plenty of room to unwind. PHOTOS BY REGGIE BEEHNER

Volleyball, Tackett recalled, seemed like “something fun anybody could do.” Little did he know how right he was. The sport soon caught on in Lexington, and Marikka’s found itself in the middle of a volleyball wave that spawned a bevy of leagues, putting ever-increasing demands on the restaurant’s modest volleyball accommodations. Which may help explain why Tackett, now 43, who co-owns Marikka’s with his parents, Doug Sr. and Marikka (the restaurant’s namesake), says the restaurant’s recent teardown and rebuild was a move some “25 years in the making.” “We’ve been wanting to go bigger ever since we bought the building,” Tackett said, recalling the days when the restaurant occupied just one of

many storefronts in a Southland Drive roadside plaza. “We just had a feeling that it was the right time to do this. We’ve got a great customer base, and the demand continued to grow, so we saw that the need was there.” The new building, which spans 22,000 square feet, reopened March 5. The standalone building features a separate restaurant, a private dining room and a 10,000-square-foot beer hall, replete with all the amenities for which Marikka’s is known: dart boards, shuffleboard, foosball and pool tables. “Just sitting there drinking can get old,” Tackett said. “People want to have something to do. So that’s why we’ve always had the games. You should never be bored when you come to our place.” The new building also expands Marikka’s vol-

leyball offerings. It includes room for six beach volleyball courts – three indoors and three outdoors – which will allow for the restaurant’s volleyball leagues to run year-round. “People didn’t want to take the winter off,” said Morgan Middleton, who runs Marikka’s volleyball leagues. Middleton said the restaurant now features a total of 14 leagues, comprising some 910 players and 188 teams. The restaurant recently switched to online league registration, which Middleton said is a welcome change from the old days when everything was done in person at the restaurant. “We had people taking off work and lining up an hour early to throw their registration at the bartenders just so they wouldn’t miss a spot,” Middleton said.

The Marikka’s building, which cost about $6 million, also expanded another one of the restaurant’s trademarks: its endless bottled beer selection. One of the first Lexington restaurants to sport a huge list of hard-to-find imports and microbrews, Marikka’s added even more refrigerators, driving up its number of bottled beers to 800 – a number that will soon expand to 1,000 when all the vendors come through, Tackett said. Patrons who get around to trying every beer in Marikka’s arsenal will not soon be forgotten. Their names get enshrined in the Beer Club, a memorial hanging above the dart boards that pays homage to the heartiest of hoisters. The restaurant also plans to roll out its own home brews later this year. As for the food—all traditional German recipes from Hanau, Germany, where Tackett’s mother grew up—not a lot has changed, he said. There are still all the dishes for which Marikka’s is known: homemade sausages, schnitzels, sauerbraten and sauerkraut, and they’re still cooked by the same people. “There’s always a Tackett in the kitchen,” said Doug Tackett Jr. “It’s just something that’s hard for us to give up or relinquish.” Now that the restaurant is open and its volleyball leagues are back in full force, Tackett said it’s good to be running his business again rather than watching from the sidelines. “Thank God we’re back open,” he said. “Being down for a year was torture, both for us and a lot of others, evidently. The restaurant industry can be brutal, but we love it. And it’s kind of overwhelming when you find out how many people that you’re important to. So that makes us feel good –like we’re doing something right.” ss

he mowed lawn, boring boxwoods and Bradford pear trees are no longer the status quo in residential landscaping. Hungry for more natural, semi-wild surroundings, an increasing number of urban dwellers are seeking the diverse shapes and layers, the year-round color and food, and the increased wildlife habitat that natural landscaping offers. On the following pages, three local garden designers share their process of utilizing natural landscaping techniques to develop unique Lexington gardens, ranging in scale from a home garden to a park’s community garden to a public greenspace landscape.

In his Garden Springs backyard “cottage garden,” Lexington landscape designer John Ed Scalf has created what he calls a “pollinator” island”: a diverse space with a small wildlife pond, two native trees and more than 30 species of native perennial flowers and grasses. PHOTO BY ANGELA HENSLEY

JOHN ED SCALF’S RESIDENTIAL COTTAGE GARDEN John Ed Scalf, owner of John E. Scalf Garden Design, designs and gardens with one central idea: creating a more harmonious relationship with nature. “I feel it is important to design and reinterpret gardens and green spaces with an ecological viewpoint in mind,” said Scalf, whose landscape design tends to favor food production, native plant communities and the natural beauty of the Bluegrass region, while discouraging a dependence on inputs of fuel, labor and various chemicals and pesticides.

Challenging traditional ideas about formal English gardening and the predominance of imported species, Scalf has transformed his yard into what he calls “a true cottage garden.” “It’s a forest garden, food garden and flower garden all combined,” he said in describing the fun and functional family backyard he has created for his Garden Springs home. Just a few blocks from the convergence of New Circle and Harrodsburg roads, Scalf’s blossoming oasis contrasts the

city’s asphalt and traffic. The garden includes a central feature he calls a “pollinator island”: a diverse space that includes a wildlife pond, two native trees and more than 30 species of native perennial flowers and grasses. Positioned in a way to be a catchment for water that flows off the driveway, the space never needs watering or fertilizer, and attracts many different birds, bees, butterflies and dragonflies. Scalf; his wife, Angela Hensley; and their young daughter are very involved in the playful space, which also includes fruit trees and raised beds with vegetables and herbs. Among the fruit trees and bushes in his yard are several varieties of apple trees (Gala, Newtown Pippin and Arkansas Black), an American

persimmon, thornless blackberry bushes, Cornelian cherry trees, high bush blueberry plants and more. The wildlife attracted by the garden brings joy to the gardener and his family throughout the seasons – from goldfinches perched upon coneflowers, consuming the flowers’ seeds while swaying in the breeze during summertime, to the forbs and grasses left standing tall in the late fall and winter native meadow garden, their hues of gold or rust blanketed in a light snow or shimmering frost. Scalf calls them “nature’s sculptures,” and they continue to evoke a sense of restfulness, tranquility and simplicity long after the rush and traditional garden prime time of spring and summer.

WILD ONES COMMUNITY POLLINATOR GARDEN AT WELLINGTON PARK In 2014, the Lexington chapter of Wild Ones received a grant from the Lexington Council Garden Clubs to create of a community garden in Wellington Park. The project includes removing the existing turf grass and planting more than 20 native shrubs, flowers and grasses in the parking lot island facing the park’s entrance. Beate Popkin, owner of the landscape design company Living Gardens and president of the Lexington chapter of Wild Ones, helped oversee the project – and while the garden has made beautiful progress over the past several growing seasons, it was not without its challenges, she said. “Making a new garden bed on a site that used to be mowed is not for the faint of heart or body,” she said. “What looked like a carpet of turf grass from a distance turned out to be, on closer inspection, a patchy growth of fescue interspersed with every imaginable weed – dandelions being the most conspicuous.” The weeds persisted, but many hands make light work. Brief but consistent weeding trips from Wild Ones volunteers have kept the unwanted plants under control and allowed the native plants to get ahead. Popkin and her team designed the garden to support a diverse community of insects and other wildlife. The choice of plants qualifies the bed as a certified Monarch Waystation, which provides monarch butterflies floral nectar to fuel their continental migration, as well as milkweed leaves to support their successive generations of larvae (caterpillars). But migratory butterflies aren’t the only creatures that will find refuge in this urban

The Wellington Park Pollinator Garden was designed to support a diverse ecosystem,and also to provide yearround visual interest. Plants were chosen that provide an array of stunning shades and silhouettes in every season, including pink muhly grass (above), aromatic aster, hyssop-leafed thoroughwart and sedum (right). PHOTOS BY BEATE POPKIN

garden – care was taken to mulch the bed lightly to permit grounddwelling pollinating insects to exit and access their nests. Popkin also chose plants carefully to time the changing palette of colors and give joy to park visitors year-round, from the first green and color of spring and the colorful summer vignettes (often involving coneflower, the signature plant of the Eastern native plant garden) to the stunning pink muhly grass that continues to garner “oohs” and “ahhs” deep into the end of the growing season in late fall. “During winter most flower stalks retain their upright posture and continue to complement each other in form and even color, which is anything but a uniform brown or grey,” Popkin said. Shrubby St. John’s Wort, one

of the many shrubs included in the space, has become a new favorite – valued for its moderate height, rounded form and beautiful yellow pollinatorattracting flowers, as well as its dense branching, which gives it a strong winter presence. Why is a natural garden like this one important?

“Urban spaces, where people increasingly live, are particularly blighted from the point of view of nature,” Popkin explained. “Engaging ourselves with some of the plants and animals whose habitat is constantly under attack and bringing them into our living spaces seems like an appropriate response.”

The Spring Branch Stormwater Improvement Project at Clays Mill Elementary has helped transform an eroded and overgrown streambed into a sanctuary for wildlife. The project – which included the planting of more than 700 trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses – has helped improve water quality and safety surrounding the stream, which is part of the Wolf Run watershed. PHOTOS BY RUSS TURPIN

Lest we forget people love fresh food too, wild plum, persimmon, hickories and pecans were also planted. The benefits of helping nature “do its thing” are still continuing to reveal themselves – Turpin recently discovered that a family of mallards started nesting at Clays Mill, and he expects other animal residents to arrive soon.

CLAYS MILL ELEMENTARY GREENSPACE Since 2013, arborist and environmental specialist Russ Turpin and a team of students from Clays Mill Elementary have worked to transform an eroded and overgrown stream on the school’s property into a much-needed sanctuary for wildlife and a peaceful place for people of all ages to connect with nature. Funded by an LFUCG stormwater grant awarded to Fayette County Public Schools, the Spring Branch Stormwater Improvement Project at Clays Mill Elementary has included the planting of more than 700 trees, shrubs, wildflowers and grasses on the new floodplain. The greenspace is designed to hold the soil, filter the water and catch debris and trash that flow down the stream, which originally had steep, vertical, eroded banks and was surrounded by dense bush honeysuckle. “When it rained, water was blasting through the narrow stream channel and taking with it the soil

on the stream banks,” explained Turpin, who works for EcoGro, a Lexington ecological restoration company that has been addressing water and soil quality since 2005. “It was scouring, washing away the rocks, logs, and nooks and crannies for small insects and minnows to hide in.” According to Turpin, a creek and its floodplain can improve water quality through four simple actions: “Spread it, slow it, soak it, store it.” The first step to improving the Clays Mill streambed was to remove the honeysuckle, then widen the stream channel to make a broad, gently sloping floodplain. Allowing the water to travel slower over a wider area reduced the scour of the banks and kept the soil from washing away, Turpin explained. Stabilizing the banks and reducing the velocity of water also increased safety – a top priority for the project, which is bordered by Southland Park, Mary Queen of the Holy Rosary School and

Clays Mill Elementary. New plants were chosen and placed intentionally to create a child-friendly environment, with quick-growing ground cover selected to prevent erosion of the newly exposed earth. For the short term, Turpin selected plants that help contribute to “nature’s way of healing disturbed areas,” including wildflower species that would be showy within one to two years (quicker than most wildflowers grown from seed) such as bur marigold, lanceleaf coreopsis and black-eyed Susan. Aside from getting quick color and coverage, he needed something that would be sturdy and tough enough to tolerate kids and flowing water.

“As the small creatures get established, bigger creatures follow behind. A blue heron could come there to fish. The monarchs could stop as they are traveling through, or a red-tailed hawk might be on patrol for a snack,” he said. “That’s one perk of coming back regularly – just to see who shows up and what’s in bloom, who’s traveling through, who’s been here.”

Working toward the goal of creating a long-term wildlife habitat, Turpin also added plants that provide food or shelter, including perennials like gray-headed coneflower and purple coneflower for birds, and swamp milkweed for monarchs and other pollinators.

INTRO BY THERESA STANLEY RECIPE AND PHOTOS BY BLUE SUSHI SAKE GRILL (ADAPTED FOR HOME COOKS)

ow do you get kids (and certain adults) to eat their Brussels sprouts? Toss them in a secret sauce! Sometimes I get a recipe and it feels like I have hit the jackpot of food secrets – and this Lemon Miso Sauce, served on the vegan dishes Crispy Brussels Sprouts and Chili Nasu at Blue Sushi Sake Grill (located in The Summit at Fritz Farm) is one of those recipes.

The soulful voice and funky rhythms of the Alabama native quickly caught the attention of renowned Nashville producer Dave Cobb, who produced his 2015 release “Delilah,” as well as this year’s “Encore.” 8 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365

Deer Tick/John Moreland. April 22. Deer Tick has been described as rock with folk, blues and country influences, although the band actively rebels against the country tag, saying, “We’re proud not to sing with a twang.” The band regularly perform cover versions in their live sets, including songs by The Replacements, Nirvana, John Prine, Hank Williams, the Beastie Boys, Warren Zevon and Sonny West. Opener John Moreland sings in one of those accents from flyover country that’s impossible to locate and implausible to mimic (Texas, by way of northern Kentucky, but mostly Tulsa, as it happens), singing with resolute courage and writing with simple eloquence about love, faith and isolation. 7 p.m. Manchester Music Hall, 899 Manchester St. (859) 230-5365

Sharing Time and Space: Art Exhibit by Paolo DalPrá and Carleton Wing. On display April 10-May 26. The contrasting styles of primitive sculptures and drawings by Paolo DalPrá will be displayed along with the detail-oriented secular mandalas by Carleton Wing. Inspired by the art of Tuscany, DalPrá creates his sculpture in wood, paper and clay. Thriving on detail, Wing creates his secular mandalas from objects he finds in his studio, manipulating them digitally until there is no beginning or end. For a brief time, these two old friends will “share time and space” in the gallery. Gallery hours: Tues.-Fri., noon-5 p.m.; Sat., 1-4 p.m. and by appointment. M.S. Rezny Gallery, 903 Manchester St. www.msrenzy.com (859)-252-4647 Rooted Words: Kentucky Writers on the Land. On display until May 6. This exhibit created by artist and oral historian Arwen Donahue includes paintings and oral histories of Kentucky writers, exploring the relationships between people and places, language and land. Participants include Wendell Berry, Nikky Finney, Barbara Kingsolver, Noah Adams, Crystal Wilkinson, Maurice Manning, Gray Zeitz, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Jonathan Greene, Leatha Kendrick, Erik Reece, Bobbie Ann Mason, Mark Schimmoeller and Richard Taylor, with art and interviews by Donahue. An author reading and oral history listening party will take place April 19 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Farish Theater. Gallery hours: Tues-Thurs., 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Fri-Sat., 11 a.m.-8 p.m.; Sun., 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Downtown Arts Center, 141 E. Main St. www.lexarts.org (859) 425-2550 Murmurations and Exultations. On display through May 5. Approaching the canvas instinctively and without preamble, both Cheryl Chapman and Rodney Hatfield begin by mark making, layering paint and building texture. Structure and patterns emerge; a tradition of abstract expressionism on one hand and a story of intimate portraits on the other. Bold color, rhythm and line start the conversation, where communication begins and the canvas becomes the pathway for exploration and discovery. Gallery hours: Tues.-Sat., 11 a.m.-5 p.m. New Editions Gallery, 500 W. Short St. www.neweditionsgallery. com (859) 266-2766 Enrique Gonzalez at John G. Irvin Art Gallery. On display until April 27.

Outlaws Art Exhibit

THRU

This exhibition curated by Po’ Boy Art Collective aims to explore themes of “outlaws” in historical, pop culture, modern and conceptual ideas. Outlaws, by all accounts, are people who live outside of the law. The duality of the word “outlaw” works on many levels according to organizers – wavering between good and evil, and finding a balance between the two. Gallery hours: Tues.-Thurs., 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Fri., 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Sat-Sun., 10 a.m.-4 p.m., Lexington Art League, 209 Castlewood Drive. www.lexingtonartleague.org. (859) 254-7024
