From the Editor-In-Chief

Becoming Mom

My ﬁrst Mother’s Day, May 2000.

While there’s been no shortage of authors who could argue ‘til breathless to the contrary, there’s no definitive guidebook to becoming mom. “What to Expect When You’re Expecting” and other self-help books were part of my preparatory repertoire, but becoming mom is not at all like following a recipe, when if you do steps A, B and C, the outcome will be perfectly predictable every time. I walked into Baptist East Hospital on March 18, 2000 as an extremely nervous 26-year-old and walked out on March 22 as a new mother with a nearly 10-pound baby girl in my arms and not a clue of what to do next. Te next few weeks were a blur, fraught by sleep deprivation and a serious reliance on takeout. One late night in particular that first week stands out: it was storming; my daughter wouldn’t stop crying; and eventually I started crying because I’d literally tried every last trick in my books to no avail. It wasn’t until, at the point of exhaustion and against expert recommendation, I laid her in the bed next to me and she instantly fell into the kind of picture perfect sleep that has made certain children’s photographers rich and famous, I knew to toss the books out the window and trust my intuition. Lucky for my sister, my daughter’s unused crib made a lovely baby shower gift a few years later! Happily, the good times have far outweighed even the worst sleepless night or temper tantrums, but I can’t help but smile when I look at photographs from my first Mother’s Day (when my otherwise sleep-averse infant decided to doze through the entire shoot) and think about how much I’ve learned along the way. Twelve years on, I’m still in the learning curve but pretty happy with the results, even without an instruction manual! As this issue coincides with both Mother’s and Father’s Day, it’s fitting that the Family Ties article, starting on page 88, highlights a special mother-daughter collaboration. Interior designer Susan Moloney worked with her daughter Alix Rice on the renovation of Alix’s charming Frederic Morgan cottage. While the personality of each shines through to varying degrees throughout the home, it’s their shared sense of timeless style and good taste that takes the concept of the humble cottage to new heights.

ANTIQUE SILVER

Written by Kirby Camm, Bittners

A Recession Tragedy A true tragedy is happening with antique silver today because of our current economic slump. Anything made from a precious metal has always been hoarded by the general public because of it monetary value. Tis is especially true with silver coins and antique silver pieces. Many fine pieces of antique silver are owned by people who are indifferent about the pieces they own, only keeping these pieces because of the monetary value of the silver. There’s little consideration given to the time period the pieces were made, their history, the maker of the piece, its nationality, or whether it is coin silver or sterling. Oftentimes these silver pieces have been passed down through the family, and the current owner has no interest in them as an antique. Tey only know that it is old and somewhat valuable because of the silver content. The recession, coupled with hard times for the average person, leaves antique silver pieces caught in the middle. With times being tough for a lot of people, television commercials telling everyone to send their silver or gold in for cash add to the antique silver tragedy. Not to mention silver being bought by investors – as a hedge against inflation – has driven the price of silver up dramatically, making it much more enticing to sell your antique silver. Tis is just like money in the bank for someone who needs a little cash. As an aside, I asked a friend of mine, who had a good collection of antique silver, for an interesting piece as illustration for this month’s article. He informed me he needed cash and had sold his whole collection of silver to a refiner. Tere is no telling how many pieces of antique silver have been sold for only their silver content, with no consideration placed on the beauty or historical aspects of the silver piece being melted down. What is also infuriating about this issue is the wonderment of how many antique silver pieces made by known silversmiths have been lost. Sadly I have no solutions for this subject. On a lighter note, I have three interesting narratives about antique silver. All of Queen Elizabeth’s silver is vermeil silver, or gilded silver, which is silver covered with a thin layer of gold, better known today as gold-plated. Te Queen’s silver is gilded

not because of her being royalty, but because she owns so much silver it would be impossible to keep all of it polished. For those planning to polish their silver mint julep cups for the upcoming Kentucky Derby, please beware. Te term julep cup is now an antique term not used by people who collect antique silver. The correct term nowadays is silver beaker. Beaker sounds a little too clinical to me, and being a romantic at heart, a beaker should be reserved for the research laboratory and not for your mint julep. My last anecdote brings gravitas about ﬁne antique silver coming out of the woodwork. Years ago, I visited an antique dealer friend in his shop. As soon as I entered the shop, he said, “Come back to my oﬃce. I want to show you something from an estate in Bowling Green (Kentucky).” I was shown six silver tablespoons, which had seen hard times. Te silver tablespoons were thin, showing a tremendous amount of wear and had a few dents. As I looked at the spoons, I asked about the hallmark. My antique dealer friend smiled after telling me they were made by Paul Revere the patriot! sl

Watch Hill Phoenix

Visionary new ownership resurrects a beloved East Coast icon Written by Bridget Williams A lingering Indian summer that extended August temperatures to mid-October caused a crush of shoppers to descend upon sale racks of swimsuits picked bare in the few shops that remained opened past high season in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. I was among the throngs, as I left my suit at home, never dreaming at this time of year the temperature would be warm enough to lure me into the cool Atlantic in search of perfectly shaped stones to skip across the gentle waves. With the Ocean House as our backdrop – its sunny yellow façade an exclamation point to its hillside prominence near the apex of Watch Hill (aﬀording sweeping sea and bay views) – we squeezed every last drop out of the summer that remained, knowing this weekend would likely be the last we would spend in swimsuits for a while.

slmag.net

At the far end of a lobby is a a stacked stone ﬁreplace that was ﬁrst erected in the late 1800s and methodically replaced piece by piece in the new hotel.

Located in an enclave of estate-sized homes – the kind whose weathered shingle exteriors are what springs to mind when one pictures the New England coast – the Ocean House has been drawing visitor’s to the area since 1868. During the Victorian era, boats laden with steamer trunks would transport well-heeled families to the peninsula for their annual summer sojourn. Notable past seasonal residents of the area included William Proctor of Proctor & Gamble, Mr. and Mrs. Walbridge Taft (the nephew of President William Howard Taft) and William Howard Doane, an accomplished musician and one of Cincinnati's most prominent manufacturers of woodworking and metalworking machinery in the late 1800s. By 2000 the hotel was in a sad state, with only one-third of its original 159 rooms safe for use and a potential new owner ﬂoating plans to demolish the decrepit landmark and carve the property into choice oceanfront building lots. Te community rallied and a new owner (a long-time summer resident) came forward to save the day. In 2004, when engineering studies evidenced that the property’s support structure was deemed unsalvageable, the current owner made the bold decision to rebuild, rather than restore. Te $147-million project, which encompassed ﬁve years of construction, saw to it that all of the 36 slmag.net

resort’s 247 windows remained in their original positions and more than 5,000 salvageable artifacts and furnishing elements lovingly harvested from the original structure’s historic interiors were incorporated into the reborn resort. Pulling up to the base of the half-circle portico after our 45-minute commute from the airport in Providence, we were greeted by an army of attendants. Standing at the front desk – complete with old-fashioned key cubbies (among the salvaged pieces) – I had to be reminded once again that the hotel was newly built. Further into the lobby our porter pointed out an important touchstone of the renovation – a stacked stone fireplace first erected in the late 1800s and the site of countless family photos and marriage proposals. Several times throughout our stay I noted a couple or family gathered around the hearth and remarking on how it had been carefully reassembled just as they fondly remembered from year’s past. A continual hub of activity, the inviting lobby blends comfortable furnishings in British Colonial and early American styles with a palette of subdued shades of yellow, blue, turquoise and cream. Punctuating the seaside chic setting is a rotating collection of museum-quality artwork.

Te Club Lounge is an intimate dining venue open only to Ocean House residents and hotel guests.

Situated on the periphery of quiet corridors, each of the 49 guest rooms boasts a residential style feel. Our tworoom, tall-ceilinged suite included a foyer with a coffee/tea bar and complimentary drinks and treats that were refreshed daily (the malted milk balls were our favorite). In the living room, a sofa bed, desk and pair of comfortable armchairs were oriented around a stacked stone fireplace. Displayed on the coffee and side tables were a selection of books detailing the history of the area, local flora, fauna and wildlife, as well as a pair of binoculars to put our newly acquired naturalist skills to the test. Also reflecting the rich history of the area was an assortment of framed sepia-colored photographs dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Te king-sized bed was dressed with a cloudlike comforter and Frette linens. Different treats or a trinket – chocolate truffles, a lavender sachet, après sun spray from the OH! Spa – were found on the pillow each night. Modern met traditional in the spacious bath with an extra-deep soaking tub, a shower with subway-tiled walls and pebble tiled-floor, and Molton Brown toiletries. Food is a focal point at the Ocean House, with farmto-table interpretations of New England favorites serving as 38 slmag.net

hallmarks of the four on-site restaurants. Te hotel maintains a fulltime “Food Forager,” who serves as the daily liaison between the resort and local farms and vendors (80 percent of menu ingredients are sourced within a 150-mile radius) and heads the resort’s culinary education programming, including monthly Farm + Vine events, which highlight talented regional chefs in collaboration with a regional farm. During our early fall visit Te Verandah was the place to be. Reproductions of the originals that graced the space for generations, white wicker chairs on the croquet-court-facing south porch were perennially ﬁlled with hotels guests and locals dividing their attention between the Atlantic and the whiteclad croquet players (New York Croquet Club co-founder and Croquet Hall of Fame inductee Teddy Prentis serves as the resident professional). At one end of the porch was a large permanent raw bar with a charcoal soapstone top presenting the ocean’s bounty on ice. Te menu also includes a selection of specialty cocktails, appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Just beyond the dunes at the main access to the resort’s 650-foot private white sand beach is Dune Cottage, which operates as a seasonal beachside eatery for guests and members. Te gourmet grille menu oﬀers treats such as gazpacho made

with local tomatoes, a lobster roll with crème fraîche dressing and tarragon snipped from the on-site herb garden, chopped salads and plenty of kid-friendly options to savor seaside whilst taking in the views of Block Island and Montauk. Another seasonal dining option is the Seaside Terrace, positioned near the indoor pool on the east side of the hotel and offering sweeping views of the ocean and the beautiful homes dotting the hillsides. Oﬀerings include a daily ceviche, salads and other reimagined seaside staples, along with signature cocktails such as the Ocean House Colada made with coconut and vodka. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Seasons truly shines at dinner with a menu that is organized by source – Local Gardens, Nearby Waters, Farms, and Fields and Pastures – with each dish further expounded by a listing of ingredients, including the purveyor and preparation method(s). Executive Chef Eric Haugen and the culinary team operate from an open kitchen, with “Chef ’s Counter” seating oﬀering a front row view of the action. After enjoying a multi-course dinner that tasted as good as it looked, we were presented with a jar of blended nectar honey from nearby Watch Hill Farms as a memento of our delightful meal.

Such delectable sustenance is in order to fuel participation in a vast array of activities both on and off-site. In addition to croquet, an on-site putting green, swimming in the 20-meter saltwater lap pool, beach activities like surfing boot camps and fishing charters, and the Farm + Vine program, there is the property’s full-service, 12,000-square-foot OH! Spa (short for Ocean Harvest) with seasonally inspired services and a fitness center with unique 24-hour virtual fitness instruction with a personal trainer, yoga and movement studio. Nearby is the Rees Jones-designed course at Lake of Isles, while tennis enthusiasts can practice their swing at the Pond View Racquet and Croquet Club just minutes from the resort. The Ocean House Yachting Collection, in cooperation with Vintage Yachting Club and the America’s Cup Fleet, offers guests the opportunity to charter a picnic boat, Neneteau Sloop, catboat or yacht from the Ocean House Fleet for adventures lasting from a half-day to a week. The quaint village of Watch Hill is a short downhill walk from the Ocean House. A historic lighthouse defines the skyline and the streets that parallel the bay and the Marian Coffin-designed harbor park are lined with an interesting array of boutiques, souvenir and antique shops, slmag.net

Aged Wines

Written by Scott Harper, Master Sommelier

It is a singular delight to enjoy a bottle of wine that is perfectly aged, a wine that has evolved into an experience. No ordinary quaffing wine but a wine that has an ethereal feel that is almost like a perfect moment in time. Tis is truly an excellent experience but a subjective one. Some oenophile’s prefer the flavors of un-aged wines, as they are different than those in aged wines, but when I can get a delicious example of a wine that is aged, it is truly heavenly. One of the keys to an aged wine is the structure. Part of a wine’s structure is tannin, and tannin is derived from, among other things, grape skins and wood ageing. Tannin is that astringent or bitter quality that can make a wine harsh and unyielding in its youth. A young age-worthy wine can also lack a certain amount of flavor as the tannin can seemingly hold flavor and aroma down. When the tannin fades away, flavors appear and take more of the center stage. Fruit and floral character seem to take off and provide more complexity, more nuances and elegance. Keep in mind not all wines can age, and it is better to drink a wine that is a little too young than too old. Te saying goes, after a decade there is no such thing as good wines but there is such a thing as good bottles. Good bottles are matured in excellent cellar conditions. What you need is a place that will remain cool; with a good humidity; no direct light, vibrations or off odors; and the ability to keep the bottles resting on their sides. Wine will age best at a

42 slmag.net

constant temperature. Large swings in temperatures (50 degrees one day and 70 degrees the next day) will harm wine, making it mature faster and allowing it to lose its delicate fruit qualities. While experts will say that 50 to 55°F is ideal for long-term storage, most of us are not storing wine for a decade, but if you are, your cool cellar conditions can allow a wine to mature slower. Humidity should be around 50 to 75°. While not as important as temperature, a dry cellar can make the corks contract and allow the wine to oxidize, whereas an overly humid cellar will cause the labels to mold or fall oﬀ. Direct light and vibration will negatively affect wine by prematurely ageing it, and off odors may seep into the wine adding the undesired odor to the wine. Wine racking should allow a wine to lie easily on its side; this keeps the wine in contact with the cork, preventing it from contracting and permitting the entrance of air. On a recent trip to the Tampa Bay area for my brother Brent’s wedding to the delightful Tania Westcott, we celebrated their impending nuptials at the legendary Bern’s Steak House. Bern’s is the perfect spot to drink aged wines, as they have the largest wine cellar in the world, and it is chalked full of aged wines. Te head Sommelier Brad Dixon promised some treasures for our group, and allowing him to use my cell phone when his would not work on our wine trip to Argentina surely would have a small reward. Our party of eight wine aﬁcionados’ allowed us to sample several magnums (the equivalent of two bottles). Te

larger the bottle, typically the longer the wine will age. With most of our party of eight ordering Bern’s prime beef, aged red wine was the logical choice. Giving Mr. Dixon carte blanche with final but unnecessary approval had its benefits. We started with a Pinot Noir from Burgundy, France. No less then Gran Cru would do for this occasion, so he brought a magnum of Chateau Corton Grancey 1976. Chateau Corton Grancey is owned by the firm Louis Jadot and is located in the prestigious area of Corton in the Cotes De Beaune of Burgundy. Red wine losses color with age. Tis wine’s color was light red, but the wine was still fresh and flavorful, loaded with red cherry, light earth, and a nuance of French oak and baking spice. It had very light tannin but crisp, refreshing acidity. Te wine was vivacious without being forceful and flavorful without being full-bodied. The second magnum was a Chateauneuf Du Pape Dellas Freres 1961. I am an easy target for a quality Chateaunuef Du Pape. This Grenache based wine from the southern Rhône of France was more bodied then the Burgundy, with a slightly darker color, and the flavor of Kirshwasser, anise, leather with a rich spiciness of white pepper, smoke and faded rose. Te wine had light tannins and good weight to go with the beef, but one more bottle would be needed to finish the dinner. The last magnum would be a right bank Bordeaux from Saint Emilion, Chateau Soutard 1961. Merlot and Cabernet Franc are the main grapes of this region. This Bordeaux had

the fullest color, and for a wine of 51 years of age, it appeared youthful. It was medium-bodied with the flavors of cassis, herbs, plums and light oak, and it still had some light tannins that were well integrated along with a slight cigar box quality. If I were to have this wine blind, I would have guessed it to be half its age. My brother and I finished the meal with an ounce of Terrantez Barbeito Madeira 1834. Madeira is, without exception, the longest-lived wine in the world. The unique character of Madeira is that it undergoes a heating process for several months after fermentation. This practice evolved in the 18th century when it was noticed that wines that were shipped through the tropics improved markedly. Tis heating process combined with fortification, long barrel aging and high acidity account for its long age-ability and, even more unusual, its ability to remain drinkable for years once opened. Te wine was sweet and fullbodied with the taste of baked fruits, crystallized violets and baked nuts. Te wine was fresh, alive and penetrating, with a long persistent finish, in short – remarkable! I am ready to meet my brother and my sister-in-law at Bern’s again to enjoy the great pleasure of drinking aged wines! sl

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST High performance is married with high style in the new Bentley Continental GTC V8 Written by Bridget Williams The new Bentley Continental GTC V8 convertible made its official public debut at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The new 4.0-liter, twin turbocharged Continental GTC V8 and its coupe counterpart the Continental GT V8 achieve exceptional standards for power-to-emissions in the high luxury sports car sector. With an instantly recognizable growl, the new 4.0-litre V8 engine provides exhilarating performance and effortless power delivery in the Bentley tradition. A variable displacement with a highly sophisticated engine management system ensures a seamless and imperceptible transition from V8 to V4 mode under light throttle load. Combined with a new close-ratio eight-speed automatic transmission, this translates into a 0 to 60 mph sprint time of 4.7 seconds for the GTC and a top speed of 187 mph. At the same time, the new V8 Continental models achieve outstanding levels of fuel eďŹ&#x192;ciency and CO2 emissions for the luxury performance sector and are capable of travelling over 500 miles on a single tank of fuel. The new Continental GTC V8 model will be offered beneath the flagship 6.0-liter, 12-cylinder engine GTC, which continues to excite customers with a combination of silken reďŹ nement and the ultimate power of the twin-turbocharged W12 Continental engine that, in its most potent form, delivers an astonishing 631 bhp.

Both Continental V8 models feature a state-of-the-art, all-wheel drive system employing an advanced Torsen differential and a 40:60 rear biased power split. Tis ensures safe yet dynamic sports car handling in all road conditions. Complementing the potent power under the hood, both new Continental V8 models are distinguished by a muscular black gloss matrix grille with chrome frame and center bar, a red enamel Bentley “B” badge and a black matrix threesegment lower front bumper divided by distinctive body-colored strakes. At the rear, unique chromed “figure eight” exhaust tailpipes, a dark lower valance and red enamel “B” bootlid badge emphasize the sporty, contemporary identity of the new V8s. The new Continental V8 models can be specified with 20-inch alloy wheels as standard or an optional 21-inch six-spoke design, available in dramatic Diamond Black (exclusive to the Continental V8) or Diamond Silver finishes. Inside the cabin, an Eliade cloth headlining, new contemporary Dark Fiddleback Eucalyptus veneers, optional two-tone leather color split and short centre console continue the fresh, sporting design theme. Since the launch of the original GT in 2003, the W12-engined Continental range has gone from strong to stronger with over 50,000 sales worldwide, making Bentley’s factory in Crewe, England, the largest producer of 12 cylinder engines in the world. The W12 story continues to unfold and remains the ultimate expression of Bentley’s engineering muscle. Commenting on the launch of the new V8 Continental models, Wolfgang Dürheimer, chairman and chief executive, Bentley Motors, said: “With the new 4.0 liter V8 engine we are widening the appeal of the latest generation of Continentals, introducing a completely new driving experience. Te new engine has all the exhilarating power, drama and performance you would expect from a V8 engine sporting the famous Bentley wings, effortlessly delivered with our characteristic ‘wave of torque.’ Tis is complemented by innovative power train technology that delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and emissions.” sl

Bugatti and Ferrari take top honors at the Amelia Island Concours A 1938 Bugatti Type 57 and the 1962 Ferrari 330 LM took home the Best In Show honors on Sunday, March 11, 2012 at the 17th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, which attracted about 23,000 spectators and 295 vehicles. The coveted Concours d’Elegance award went to a stunning 1938 Bugatti Type 57, owned by the Off Brothers Collection from Richland, Mich. One of only three surviving Aravis Drophead Coupes bodied by Gangloﬀ, this green Type 57 arrived in the U.S. in 1961 and was fully restored in 2009.

Bugatti produced the Type 57 between 1934 and 1939, ceasing production of the world’s fastest stock production car shortly after the beginning of WWII. Te rare 1962 Ferrari 330 LM, or “3765” GTO, owned by Jim Jaeger from Indian Hill, Ohio took home the Concours de Sport award. Te 330 GTOs were Ferrari’s in-house hot rods: prototype Grand Touring cars with four-liter V-12 engines instead of the GTO’s traditional 3-liter V-12. Just two were built – a cross between a pure prototype and a road-going Grand Touring car. Assigned to Ferrari Engineer and racer Mike Parkes and factory F1 and sports car ace Lorenzo Bandini, Jim Jaeger’s 4-liter GTO appears as it did on June 23, 1962 when gridded seventh at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Te very best in classic car pageantry displays also included the 1964 Shelby Daytona Coupe that helped unseat Ferrari as World GT Champion and the sleek 1929 Duesenberg J-108 Convertible Coupe that played a role in the classic movie Te Gay Divorcee. Several other star cars were seen, including Rita Hayworth’s Ghia-bodied Cadillac, a Duesenberg once owned by

I congratulate the judges on their stunning choices.” Cars that graced the covers of Road & Track were on display, as were a selection of cars that won the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring. Tis year's Concours also celebrated the momentous 50th Anniversary of the Ferrari GTO, which was marked by a gathering of twelve impressive vehicles on the show field. Rally and road racing champion “Quick” Vic Elford served as the 2012 honoree, greeting attendees throughout the weekend. He also took part in the Great Endurance Drivers Seminar alongside other legendary drivers such as Sam Posey, Hurley

Haywood, Brian Redman, Jim Hall, Gerard Larrousse, Joe Buzzetta, David Hobbs, Vic Elford, and Derek Bell. Ferrari and Cobra fans were also treated to the unprecedented Cobra vs. Ferrari: the Battle for the World Championship for Sports Cars seminar on Friday, where Ferrari racing engineer Mauro Forghieri, Shelby Cobra Championship driver, Bob Bondurant, and Cobra Daytona Coupe designer Peter Brock, discussed one of motorsports’ most bitter rivalries. Some of the world’s most prominent corporate, public and private collections had displays at the event, including Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler. BMW also held the North American Debut of its new 6 Series Gran Coupe four-door coupe during the weekend. Plans for the 18th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance are already underway and the event is scheduled to be held on March 8-10, 2013 on the 10th and the 18th Fairways of the Golf Club Amelia Island at Summer Beach, adjacent to Te Ritz-Carlton. sl

Will Daniels, a young British artist, is a man of reserve and quiet nature, his genius is further exempliﬁed in his oeuvre. With seven solo exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles and London since 2005, one would say his recognition has far surpassed his modest persona. Daniels’ process is thought-provoking, his method contemporary with roots in historical painting. Truly a painter of painters, Daniels commemorates historical artist like Durer, Goya, Delacroix and Cezanne. With recognizable images from art history, Daniels begins by creating a collage replica made of common household materials consisting of torn paper and cardboard. He then photographs this new piece as an aid to produce a highly detailed and meticulous small scale trompe l’oeil. To my bewilderment, he then discards the collage. The details of the collage are resonant within the painting showing ripped corners and frayed edges. Mimicking the materials, the simple palette of grey, white and brown, make it difficult to discern if the work is a still collage or a now painting, leaving the viewer to decide. The art historical reference remains but in distortion, it challenges the viewer to discover the historical imagery.

56 slmag.net

Daniels’ more recent work has matured, now creating a tin foil maquette with figures and still lives constructed in cardboard covered in tin paper, he uses lighting and the reflection of color from his personal space. Te same process as before, the new work has historical subject but colors and painterly skill has grown vastly. Burst of reds, blues, and greens creates a phenomenal dynamic in relation to white paint used as the light reflection of the foil. Will’s newer pieces have a more abstract appearance but maintain the realism from thorough rendering of his handmade sets. William Daniels was born in Brighton in 1976, he received a Master’s Degree from the Royal College of Art in London. His gallery representation is Luhring Augustine, New York, Marc Foxx, Los Angeles and Vilma Gold, London. His work is found in collections worldwide. His last solo show was in 2011 at Marc Foxx gallery. I look forward to what the next new body of work will reveal. sl

Rhapsody with Blue Harriet Treitz channels the sprit of an English country home sprinkled with touches of whimsy Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Andrew Kung

Interior designers savor the rare occasion when their clients, looking for a fresh start, seek their expertise on a project from conception to completion. Such an opportunity was presented to interior designer Harriet Treitz of the Lee W. Robinson Company when a couple endeavored to build a new home with an old house feel. While the homeowners had a distinct vision for certain aspects of the home, they agree that the creative process was a true collaboration, with all parties receptive to one another’s input. As empty nesters that welcome frequent visits from their grandchildren, the ﬂoor plan of the home is ideally suited for comfortably accommodating everything from dinner à deux to savoring ﬁne wine in the unique cellar or movie nights in the lower level theatre room. The entryway is distinguished by a substantial roundtop single door that imparts a feeling of rustic elegance to the exterior of the newly built home and alludes to the interior 70 slmag.net

design aesthetic. A simple bell jar lantern illuminates the tiled entry foyer, which is open to both the formal living room and the dining room, where the ﬂooring transitions to handsome handscraped wide plank hickory hardwood. “We wanted the home to feel very rustic and comfortable,” said the wife, who is quick to praise Treitz’s skill incorporating her favorite color – blue – to varying degrees in every room, including the formal living room. Deﬁned by beadboard wainscoting, the space represents an artful interplay of color and texture and is one of the few rooms with pieces of furniture – namely an antique secretary positioned in one corner, a pair of wing chairs and a corner chair – that were carried over from the couple’s prior home. Te homeowners are big proponents of having a ceiling fan in every room when feasible, so Treitz carefully selected unique fans that complemented the feel of each room, such as the plantation-style example in the living room.

Te color green is given prominence in the hearth room, where a pair of wing chairs upholstered in a tweed fabric are reminiscent of an English gentleman’s waistcoat.

Finely crafted to resemble a well-used antique, a large oak baluster table is complemented by a china cabinet with a distressed cream-colored painted exterior. Te custom painted blue interior of the piece calls to mind the vibrant hue of the patterned drapery adorning a set of French doors at the far end of the room that open to a petite slate-floored balcony. Enhancing the room’s color harmony is the choice of rich burgundy red for the coffered ceiling, a color given a greater degree of prominence in the lower level. Dual walls of towering cabinetry constructed by the artisans at Mike’s Woodworking define the kitchen. Treitz designed the tumbled limestone backsplash. The color green is given prominence here and in the adjacent hearth room, where a pair of wing chairs upholstered in a tweedy fabric are reminiscent of an English gentleman’s waistcoat. A large screen porch accessed from the kitchen or the wife’s oﬃce features a ﬁreplace, ample seating and space for a grilling station. 72 slmag.net

The far end of the hall holds a guest suite and the wife’s office. Sporting a discernible aviary theme, drapery and objects d’art in the bedroom and lively wallpaper in the bathroom continue to provide a great deal of intrigue to the grandchildren. Te true blue color of the walls in her office is tempered by softer colors in the needlepoint rug. At the opposite end of the hall, plush, cream-colored carpeting signifies the demarcation point to the comfortable confines of the master suite. Drapery from Tibaut frames a wall of nearly floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an unobstructed vantage of the dense woodland ravine at the rear of the property. “It’s so peaceful that we have trouble waking up in the morning,” remarked the wife. Te unique coffered ceiling culminates in a pale blue color, the same one found within a circular dome in the center of the spacious master bath. Glass doors in the expansive master suite closet attest to the homeowner’s enviable attention to order and organization.

In the wine cellar, walls of soldier-stacked vintage bricks contain a trio of recessed niches with wagon wheel-style wine storage inserts crafted by Mike’s Woodworking.

Neutral wall colors give way to bordeaux in the stair hall, where a duo of vintage French wine posters preview what lies at the base of the stairs and is the husband’s pride and joy: a wine cellar that was custom-made to his exacting speciﬁcations. Defined by a pair of heavy forged iron gates by Bluegrass Ornamental, walls of soldier-stacked vintage bricks contain a trio of recessed niches with wagon wheel-style inserts made by Mike’s Woodworking for storing wine. A tasting table in the center of the room is fashioned from a bourbon barrel capped with copper. Te top of a barrel was also used as a mount for the faucet above the copper bar sink. Colors found in the marble countertop with a hammer-chiseled edge complement the copper backsplash. A vintage-style pig lamp adds a touch of whimsy. As the husband’s domain, he requested that the environs of the lower level be a bit more contemporary, and Treitz complied by using traditional materials in ways that make the area unique

without straying too far in the opposite direction. A bar near the wine cellar features glass shelving mounted on a hammered copper backsplash. Blown glass pendant lamps are suspended above a backlit onyx bar top. When the homeowners requested a game table for the space, Treitz chose to have one custom-made with an urn base and harlequin edge. “I didn’t think the typical clunky style with heavy claw feet would work here,” she explained. High on the whimsy scale is the half bath, located between the theatre and exercise rooms. At ﬁrst glance, the walls appear to be covered in crate ends from wine boxes, and it is not until closer inspection that one discovers the Brunschwig & Fils wallpaper’s clever farce. Treitz relished in the wonderful rapport she developed with her clients throughout this start-to-ﬁnish project. “We had a lot of fun with this house,” she remarked, to which the wife added, “We just love what she’s done.” sl slmag.net

Cake ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 ½ cups sugar 2 eggs, room temperature 2 ounces red food coloring 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup buttermilk 2 cups all-purpose ﬂour 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon vinegar

Cake 1 1/3 cups cake ﬂour ¾ teaspoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter at room temperature ¾ cup granulated sugar 2 eggs at room temperature lightly beaten 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla extract 1/3 cup milk at room temperature

Spray two 8-inch cake pans with Baker’s Joy nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar and eggs. Add the cocoa powder and food coloring, mixing in well. In a small bowl, mix the salt with the vanilla; add this to buttermilk in another bowl. Alternating the buttermilk mixture and flour, gradually add these to the creamed mixture. In a small bowl, mix together the baking soda and vinegar; gently fold this into the batter (do not beat).

Glaze 8 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar ¼ cup meringue powder 1 cup milk 2 tablespoons vanilla extract Food coloring Grease and flour a mini tea cake pan. Tap out the excess flour. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl and set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy and smooth. Add the sugar and beat until fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Stop the mixer periodically to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the eggs in small amounts at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk. Beat each addition until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl periodically. Spoon 2 teaspoons of the batter into each well of the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the countertop to remove any air bubbles. Bake 8-10 minutes, until the cakes are no longer sticky on top. Transfer to wire rack and cool for 1to 2 minutes before inverting pan onto rack to release cakes. Cool cakes for 30 minutes. To make the glaze, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, meringue powder, milk and vanilla until smooth. Whisk in the food coloring one drop at a time until desired color is achieved. Slowly drizzle the glaze over each cake, completely covering the top and sides. Tap the wire rack on the countertop to remove excess glaze. Let glaze dry completely before serving, approximately 1 hour. Adapted from the Williams-Sonoma Kitchen.

Traditional Deviled Eggs Makes 36 24 whole eggs ½ gallon cool water 2 tablespoons salt 2 cups vinegar 2 cups cooked egg yolks 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 cup mayonnaise Paprika to garnish

Place water, salt and vinegar into a large pot with a lid and bring to a full roiling boil. Drop 1 egg at a time into the water. Return pot lid and allow eggs to boil for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and pour off most of water. Put the remaining eggs and water into a large bowl half full of ice. When eggs are cool to the touch, crack and remove shells. Cut each egg in half. Remove the yolk and place into a measuring cup to measure out the needed 2 cups of cooked egg yolks. Store whites in cool, clean water while making the fillings. Place the needed 2 cups of yolks into a food processor with pickle relish, Dijon mustard, salt and cayenne pepper. Purée mixture to a smooth consistency, stopping to scrape down sides and purée again to achieve a smooth consistency. Stop the processor, add the mayonnaise and purée again. Store mixture in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set to the proper consistency. Remove the egg white halves from the water bath. Place each egg upside down over paper towels to drain. Load the egg yolk filling into a pastry bag with a medium-sized star tip. Pipe a generous amount of the filling into each egg with a slight circular motion. When shell is filled, stop applying pressure to the pastry bag and then lift up. Garnish the top of each deviled egg with a small pinch of paprika. Store in airtight container in a refrigerator. May be made up to 1 day in advance. Adapted from Jonathan’s Bluegrass Table: Redefining Kentucky Cuisine, by Jonathan Lundy, 239 pages, Butler Books

Family Ties A designing mother-daughter duo lend a fresh perspective to a historic cottage Written by Bridget Williams Photography by Eric Williams

“I call it her little jewel box,” said interior designer Susan Moloney of Moloney-Smith & Associates of the charming Frederic Morgan cottage she co-renovated and designed in collaboration with her daughter and business associate, Alix Rice. Although there had been significant alterations to the home since it was built in 1932, Rice was drawn to the charming two-bedroom hilltop home for myriad reasons. Before the duo did any further modifications, Moloney searched Morgan’s archives at the University of Louisville’s Bridwell Art Library and was able to locate his original plans for the home. Among her discoveries were that some of the changes, including the removal of the original second floor bathroom to create an open foyer, may have been designed by another local architectural icon, Stratton Hammon. After reviewing the plans, Rice decided to restore the second floor back to its original. “Te idea of such a major renovation – putting a ceiling back in from the inside – made me feel a bit over my head, and so I relied on mother’s expertise,” said Rice. While the two definitely share similar design sensibilities, Rice’s extensive art background, both academic and applied, lends a unique perspective to her home’s continental-style interior, beginning in the foyer, where her eclectic art collection includes pieces from British photographer Dylan Tomas to a drawing from a modern art master. Even after restoring the ceiling, a window above the landing that splits the full run of stairs provides ample natural light.

To the left, a barrel-vaulted guest suite is located in what was originally a garage – an alteration made years ago. A near reproduction of her bedroom in New York City, the airy space boasts shuttered windows, Oushak rug, a skirted dressing table, a Susan Moloney custom linen headboard and Mulberry wallpaper in the bathroom. Considering the diminutive scale of the home’s other rooms, the living room is quite ample. With built-in bookcases flanking the doorway to the dining room on one end and a bay window seat set off by silk draperies on the other, the space contains a highly personalized mix of art and antiques, all displayed with a deft hand. A major selling point for Rice was the original pine-paneled walls, though they caused a bit of unease when she first moved in. “I would hear ‘pop, pop, pop’ all night, and it made me wonder if someone was breaking in until I realized that it was the change in temperature causing the wood to expand and contract,” she recalled. Te strong horizontal lines of the cream-colored paneling provide just enough visual interest without detracting from the diverse assemblage of artwork. Moloney found the American antique mantel in North Carolina with Rice in mind and had it restored after receiving the go-ahead from her daughter. Hanging above the mantel is a lively oil pastel painting by WB Tompson, given to Rice by Moloney for her birthday. Rice had first discovered Tompson’s work at the Gallery on Greene in Key West. Tis particular piece, depicting a scene from New York City, holds particular emphasis for her as she received it prior to moving to The Big Apple. “Right before I move I try to find something that correlates with that part of my life,” she explained.

Dating to the early 1900s, a chair positioned near the fireplace sports its original crewelwork upholstery, which appears nearly new despite its age. Opposite, a pair of Hepplewhite chairs boast lively tangerine upholstered seats. A table to one side of the slipcovered sofa holds an 18th century French burner converted for use as a lamp. Overlooking the rear garden, the narrow dining room embodies Rice’s personal style of mixing up old and new. Structural Fortuny-clad shades adorning lamps on the sideboard are from Venice. “We have a group of little ladies that custom-craft them for us,” explained Moloney. A rustic corner cabinet with a blue-green painted interior holds a collection of china. Six antique Queen Anne continental chairs with ocelot-patterned upholstery from Clarence House surround the rustic table. “Bringing in the ocelot print with the classic Oushak reflects a classic pairing of old and new,” said Rice. Te incredibly charming but super compact kitchen suits Rice’s needs just fine, considering the year’s she spent living in New York City, where every inch of real estate comes at a premium. Relocating the kitchen from a larger adjacent room to the butler’s pantry allowed her to add a cozy study. With all of the appliances artfully hidden behind cabinetry faux finished by Mary Margaret Trinkle of Monarch Studio, the space would be nearly indiscernible as a kitchen were it not for the four-burner gas cooktop. A French potting table is used as a prep island, with gleaming copper pots displayed underneath.

Antique ﬂour sacks that have been stitched together comprise the stair runner leading to the second ﬂoor master suite.

Inspired by the color of the library in the home of Moloney’s grandparents, the deep green walls of the study create a comforting atmosphere and an interesting departure from the luminosity in adjacent rooms. Distressed leather armchairs provide a comfortable vantage point for surveying the varied oil paintings of dogs that adorn the walls. A zebra rug is layered over sisal near the leather-topped desk. Antique flour sacks that have been stitched together comprise the stair runner leading to the second floor master suite, which encompasses the entire floor. “It’s my sanctuary,” said Rice. Her years spent working in galleries and collecting are reflected in the array of highly personal artworks selected for this personal haven. A large piece of text art by Marlene McCarty hangs near the top of the stairway along with a collection of photographs by Dylan Tomas. Hanging over the bed is trio of paintings gifted to Rice by artist Josh Smith. A study in simplicity, the suite has a calming effect. At the top of the stairs is a comfortable sitting area oriented around the fireplace. An iron bed faces a row of dormers that overlook the garden and surrounding neighborhood. Te timelessness of the newly added master bath is in step with the home’s historic character without sacrificing modern creature comforts. From Morgan and Hammon to Moloney and Rice, the enduring legacy of this special home is undoubtedly its penchant for procuring prolific partnerships. sl
