Local Youth Raising the Bar

2 / Cole McCune Thompson, 17, Folsom

A future Harvard graduate, Cole Thompson has much to be proud of. He set the state record for single season touchdown receptions (34), and helped his team, the Folsom Bulldogs, win the Division 1 state championship. “Winning a state championship with guys I’ve been playing with for 10 years” was a memorable moment for Thompson. That’s not all—he works equally hard off the field as he does on it, earning himself a GPA of 4.27 at Folsom High School, being part of the student government, becoming a National Football and Foundation Scholar Athlete. Throw in his hobbies of playing the piano and drums and his involvement with Bayside Church of Folsom, and you’ve got an all-rounder. But Thompson otherwise. “I’m a jack of thinks all trades and master of none,” he claims. played football since elementary Having school, he’s experienced when it comes to hard work and determination, and has this advice to offer, “Treat your future self as someone you want to please. Put in the hard work now to make it easier on them.”—TM

3 / Naguib Abduila, 11, Rancho Cordova

Naguib Abduila is a rock star student with As in all his classes. He also enjoys playing baseball, basketball, volleyball and soccer (his soccer team, Sac United, recently won the State Cup in their U13 division). His favorite part about playing sports is “[getting to know] new people” and developing teamwork. His soccer game is so advanced that he plays in the U13 division when most kids his age are playing in the U12 division. Achieving a perfect GPA is a difficult feat for students, and when asked most where his favorite place to study is, Abduila says, “My room—I like to listen to music.” Not only is this 11-year-old skilled in the classroom and on the soccer field, but he spends quite a bit of time doing volunteer work and particularly enjoys helping at hospitals. It’s no surprise that his advice to the under-20 community is to “never give up on your dreams, do well in education and play sports,” considering the words of wisdom he lives by are “study and stay focused on education.”—RM

Q&A Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Being a good listener. Q: What’s your biggest pet peeve? A: Getting a text from someone saying to call ASAP and them not answering their phone. Q: What are you most proud of? A: Throughout my 34 years in the fire service, being able to support fellow firefighters going through rough times in their lives—on and off the job. Q: Favorite humanitarian cause? A: Championing being a foster care/adoption parent—giving a child an environment to feel safe in and a place to call home.

hief Rick Bartee took the helm of the Roseville Fire Department in November, after 34 years with the Phoenix Fire Department. In his varied career, he’s seen it all—from the loss of the space shuttle Columbia and 9/11 to Hurricane Katrina. As part of many Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urban search and rescue task force deployments, he’s been at the scene of some of the worst disasters in recent U.S. history; despite this, Bartee has no regrets about his career choice. When he was just 18 years old, he joined the fire service, confident he wanted to pursue a career in public safety. “It was either become a police officer or a firefighter,” he says with a laugh. “I became a firefighter.” 12 stylergbr.com - February 2016

For Bartee, the best part of his chosen profession is the ability to work as part of a team. “It’s what drew me to the fire service,” he explains. “You see four to five men and women as much as you see your own family; you have to rely on them to have your back, and you have their back. At the same time, you’re taking care of citizens.” Bartee is also a passionate advocate for foster care and adoption services. He’s a proud father of six children, three of whom were adopted out of the system. “Being a firefighter puts things in perspective,” he shares. “You meet so many kids, and there’s always an opportunity for an adult to have a positive effect on their lives.” — Amber Foster

Q: What’s next? A: Leading a highly motivated group of men and women to provide exceptional service to the community every single day.

season’s eatings

Bringing your heart rate up and down throughout a workout—also known as interval training—is the fastest and most effective way to burn fat. The conditioning phase of an exercise class does exactly that. Usually, nonstop body weight conditioning exercises such as push-ups, squats and burpees are done to help you not only flatten your stomach and tone your arms and legs, but to also get you into the best shape of your life; plus, if you have motivating instructors, they can make it a fun workout! Once your body is nice and warm, it will be easier to increase your flexibility when stretching. —Art and Jennifer Taketa iLoveKickboxing Roseville 5020 Foothills Boulevard, Suite 5, Roseville 916-330-4345, ilovekickboxing.com

WHAT’S IN

SEASON? Grapefruit

here are many benefits to picking up fresh PlacerGROWN grapefruits this month. Whether you’re looking for a healthy, delicious treat or seeking an ingredient for a new, homemade beauty product, you won’t be disappointed!

SELECTION AND STORAGE When searching for the perfect grapefruit, request one that weighs heavier for its size and has bright skin, firmness and a sweet aroma. They should yield to gentle pressure and recoil immediately. Although the fruit does great on a kitchen countertop for a few days, it’s best to keep it in a fruit or vegetable crisper where it will stay fresh for up to three weeks. Grapefruits can be purchased at PlacerGROWN farmers’ markets held yearround, including the Saturday market in Auburn and the Tuesday market at the Fountains in Roseville. — Carol Arnold For details on where to buy Placer County farm-fresh produce, wine, meat and other products, visit placergrown.org and

14 stylergbr.com - February 2016

DID YOU KNOW? As a citrus fruit, the grapefruit is rich in potassium, calcium and vitamin C; however, it’s also a powerhouse when it comes to the amount of lycopene, vitamin A, beta-carotene and insoluble fiber pectin that it contains. Eating one grapefruit a day can lower your risk of some cancers by as much as 60 percent! Weight loss is another benefit. Due to its low calorie count, it’s a perfect fit for anyone looking to have a healthy sweet treat. It also provides a great substitute for those watching their sugar intake, since it doesn’t have as much sugar or acid as other citrus fruits. If grapefruits are too tart for you, adding a little bit of honey helps tone it down. They aren’t just good to eat, either—the oil and seed extract are often used as fragrance in soaps, cosmetics and household cleaners. What’s more, grapefruits are a natural astringent, providing a solution for oily skin. To make a refreshing facial mask, add a little honey and oatmeal with a few ounces of grapefruit juice. foothillfarmersmarket.com.

Sanchez has a lot of respect for the guys who started this event 18 years ago, and when he took the lead, it was important to partner not only with a local charity in Roseville city limits, but one that had the network to truly benefit from this type of event.

CJ: I’m always aware of the colors, the light and the mystery of the scene. It’s more of a feeling than anything. Sometimes the scene is what I think I can manipulate later in Photoshop to be something totally different than what you see through the viewfinder. I take a lot of bad photographs that go nowhere, but usually get a good feeling when I’m taking a great one.

HLB: As a photographer, what’s great about this area? CJ: Granite Bay—and the whole Sacramento area—has a wealth of natural scenery; some of my favorite photographs have been shot here.

I can do things in my “dry” darkroom that I couldn’t in my wet darkroom. More importantly, my processing can be done on the spur of the moment where a darkroom would take all day. I also do more work in color now.

HLB: Any advice for beginners? CJ: Don’t give up your day job. Art is wonderful and I enjoy it immensely, but very few people make serious money at it. It’s strange to me how much people will spend on a single meal for a single evening of pleasure but hesitate to spend that much on a single piece of art—art that would bring them pleasure for a lifetime.

beautiful inside and out Preparing for Plastic Surgery by Abigail Blank

he decision to have cosmetic surgery is one that comes with numerous factors. While it can be a wonderful and positive change for many, there is much to consider when deciding if going under the knife is right for you. Therese Sorrentino, LMFT, in Folsom, specializes in helping people cope with the emotional effects of cosmetic surgery— both before and after. To help patients prepare, Sorrentino explains what’s most essential to a successful outcome. “By 24 stylergbr.com - February 2016

knowing oneself, a patient will be more able to partake in a successful doctorpatient relationship—one in which she or he is able to articulate their own personal motivating factors for cosmetic surgery,” she says. She’s also quick to point out that while cosmetic surgery can enhance your self-esteem, it cannot change your life. This same sentiment is echoed by Dr. Reginald Rice, who is double board certified in ENT, facial plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery and practices at Marshall

Plastic Surgery Center in Placerville. Making sure you have a clear understanding of the benefits and limitations of your elected surgery is one of the most important parts of ensuring a positive outcome. “This can be critically important,” Dr. Rice says. “I can perform a ‘perfect’ surgery with an excellent surgical outcome that is a complete failure from my patient’s standpoint, if the results or outcome is not what they expected.” Another essential aspect for potential cosmetic surgery patients to consider is the reality of recovery and the amount of time needed for healing. As Sorrentino explains, “After the surgery, a patient may become temporarily depressed. This can result for multiple reasons and is normal; it takes time to heal, and how you look right after surgery may not be what you expected…it can be a shock.” But both Dr. Kenneth Sumida, board certified plastic surgeon and medical director at Nuance Cosmetic Surgery in Folsom, and Dr. Rice agree that it’s imperative you and your surgeon be on the same page when it comes to the expected outcome. This is the best way to ensure you will be satisfied with your procedure. “Complications can happen after any surgery, but many can be avoided with good surgical planning and technique, and pre- and post-operative care,” Dr. Sumida explains. Sorrentino recommends anyone considering cosmetic surgery to seek a few sessions of counseling both before and after. Since many patients experience anxiety before surgery, a counselor can help manage any concerns and work through any self-esteem issues that may be accompanying their desire for the procedure. Therapists can also help patients postsurgery, as they often deal with intense emotional reactions to the changes in their appearance. While Dr. Rice says that only a small portion of the population seeking cosmetic surgery suffers from body dysmorphic disorder (a mental disorder that causes someone to obsess over a perceived flaw), it’s important to remember that the effects of cosmetic surgery in your life are only so far-reaching. Dr. Rice summarizes: “[With] all of the issues a patient faces in considering plastic surgery, if I had to choose the most important one, it would be that the patient understands plastic surgery will not change their life.”

rocklin cares Volunteers Unite to Serve by Tara Mendanha

here’s a powerful force taking over Rocklin, one event at a time—a workforce, that is. Rockin Cares is a volunteer program geared toward providing volunteer services to local businesses, charity groups and special events. Started in March 2013, it was the city’s initiative to match local volunteers with these events. “We realized that there was a need for volunteers for the city’s special events, as well as for local businesses’ and group’s projects, so we implemented a program that would assist everyone in their needs,” says City of Rocklin Recre26 stylergbr.com - February 2016

ation, Arts and Event Tourism Business Technician, Chris Meyer. And in just a few years, much progress has been made. “We have a little over 1,000 active registrants in our volunteer database. Per special event, we use, on average, between 15 and 25 volunteers; [while] the ongoing volunteer programs can run through 100 volunteers a year,” he adds. According to Meyer, volunteers range from junior high students looking for school credit, to senior citizens looking to help their community. Projects and

tasks also vary, like helping to clean parks, moving stone to create walls, working at information booths, being ushers at concerts and helping set up and clean up events. “Most events are city events; however, nonprofits such as Compassion Planet, the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs, the Rocklin Historical Society, Rocklin Chamber of Commerce and Meals on Wheels, just to name few, have regular events each year too,” says Meyer. Volunteers have already helped gather donations and worked tables at the upcoming Healing Heroes Motorcycle Poker Run that provides for wounded veterans, as well as man tables and booths for everyone’s favorite Woofstock event, which draws 10,000 people every summer. “We look for volunteers who are excited about assisting their community; ones who are punctual, friendly and willing to help. [These] are a few characteristics we value,” says Meyer. This is how it works: on the City of Rockin’s homepage, there is a “volunteer” tab that directs you to a calendar where you can register for, or create, an event. The staff will then manage and match volunteers to the events, acting as an initial liaison between the two, after which the event organizers and volunteers can get in touch. All in all, the Rocklin Cares program has helped the city and its local businesses by making it easy to create events and request volunteer services. It has also saved the city a lot of money and created networking opportunities for businesses and people. In a growing city with a population of over 60,000, a move like this can only be beneficial in the long run, creating a wellknit and well-served community. Upcoming events include Rocklin Ramble (April 30-May 1), Healing Heroes Motorcycle Poker Run (May 21), Woofstock (August 26-29), and Patriot Day and Kids Fest (September 11), among many others.

money their total.” Worse yet? “They will have to start all over again in saving for retirement, and they will have lost time that will cost them more in additional contributions if they want to catch up.”

Mistake 3 / Thinking Retirement Saving is a ShortTerm Plan “You have to commit to a long-term savings plan and not worry about the shortterm fluctuations,” says Barrientos. While your retirement savings may go up and down, every dollar counts. Start early and make regular investments, even if contributions are as low as three percent of your income.

7 Golden Retirement Mistakes by Kristen Castillo

o retire with an annual expense of $40,000 a year, you need to save a million dollars, so how can you make sure you’re on the right track? “The key is starting as early as possible and trying to maximize your contributions,” says Louis J. Barrientos, co-founder and CEO of FC360, Inc. in Roseville, who recommends saving five to seven percent of your salary, as well as one percent more every time you get a raise. “The older an individual gets the more conscious they are about the balance in their retirement account and whether it’s enough to sustain into the golden years,” says Paul Lee, CPA principal of PSG Certified Public Accountants in Roseville, who encourages clients to be consistent in saving. If you need to contribute more, the IRS allows catch-up contributions of $6,000 once you turn 50. To make sure your retirement 32 stylergbr.com - February 2016

“That’s free retirement money in the bank, assuming you stay with your employer long enough to be fully vested,” says Lee. “You want to make contributions at least up to your company match.”

Mistake 5 / Not Being Aware of Alternative Retirement Plans Even without employer retirement plans, you still have savings options. “You can contribute into traditional or Roth IRAs and you have the ability to do so by April 15, 2016, to make it eligible to be applied for the 2015 tax year,” says Lee.

years are the best they can be, avoid these seven golden mistakes.

Mistake 6 / Withdrawing Contributions When Changing Jobs

Mistake 1 / Waiting Too Long to Get Started

Withdrawing money now “will result in the full amount being taxed along with additional penalties from IRS and your resident state,” says Lee, who recommends leaving your money in the same plan, if allowed, or rolling it over into another IRA for more investing options and flexibility.

It’s never too soon to start saving. “Because retirement for many is over 3040 years away, we see a lot of individuals thinking they’re too young to start so they delay signing up for an employer plan,” says Barrientos, which could mean missing out on matching contributions and having to catch up later.

Mistake 2 / Cashing Out Early Don’t treat your retirement like a piggy bank, notes Barrientos. He says using your retirement money for non-retirement expenses before age 59-and-a-half means you’ll be “subject to taxes and penalties, which average around 30-50 percent of

Mistake 7 / Gambling with Your Retirement Your retirement account should be in a diversified portfolio, says Barrientos. “Many individuals who manage their own investments think they can use their retirement funds and ‘play the market,’” he says, noting bad investment decisions could impact the success of your retirement plan.

INSPIRATIONS BACK TO BASICS 

White and grey is such a stronghold in design because of its inclusion of classic white, which is timeless, and the many available tones of grey. The combination is calming, simple, clean and beautiful; plus, it works with interiors that are modern, traditional and transitional.

The impact walls with dimension, texture and depth can make on a room is tremendous and, done correctly, can be more impactful than a great piece of art and often even replace the need for it. • Stikwood (reclaimed wood for your walls) gives an authentic texture and feel to a space, makes a great impact, and is easy to install. • The dimensional quality of 3D Wall Panels by Inhabit Living makes a real architectural statement, and being paintable makes is customizable for the space. • The Peel and Stick Wall Mural by Eazy Wallz is a wonderful treatment that makes a very dramatic impact with hundreds of visual options.

TREES PLEASE  You can’t open a design magazine, website, blog or walk into a design-savvy restaurant or store without seeing a fiddle-leaf fig tree. Thankfully, these beauties don’t only spruce up a space, but are relatively low-maintenance too.

 MIX IT UP From hardware and lighting to furniture and décor, gold and copper metals will be huge this year!

SING THE BLUES 

Whites and pinks will be big this year but blue, navy, indigo and denim shades are everything!

 COAST ON

Geo is everywhere you turn, and these Agate Coasters (set of 4) from West Elm are simply amazing!

MICHELLE BOYLE, OWNER OF CALIFORNIA CHIC STAGING + DESIGN, ROSEVILLE, 916-872-4600, CALIFORNIACHICDESIGN.COM

PILLOW TALK 

Texture is everything, and these Mongolian Lamb Pillows from West Elm are heaven!

BRONZE AGE 

We know gold is making a comeback, but copper is a nice transition for those not quite ready to jump back into the ’80s and ’90s. Adding a few accessories—copper bowls, candleholders or a table, such as this Cuff Cocktail Table by Global Views—can be a nice addition to break up all wood tones in a space.

 THE RIGHT LIGHT

Replacing a tired light fixture with a contemporary, futurist-inspired piece, such as this Rondure Pendant Light by Uttermost works like a charm—even in transitional and traditional spaces. Lighting really sets the tone of a room and can be an important focal element.

HIPPY VIBES 

Leather fringe of the ’70s is making a comeback in the home, from pillows to light fixtures—such as this Boho Chandelier from Currey and Company—though adding a simple pillow with bright colors and patchwork designs adds an interesting pop to any space!

JENNIFER FAGALDE, ALLIED ASID, MEMBER OF NKBA, WINDOW FASHIONS CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL AND OWNER OF FAGALDE INTERIOR DESIGN, FOLSOM, 916-221-8752, FAGALDEDESIGN.COM

 COUNTEROFFER

Leathered granite countertops— an alternative to polished granite or quartz—are honed, rough and created by using wire brushes on the stone; what’s more, they hide fingerprints and smudges well!

BRASS BATH 

Brass fixtures add sophistication and style to any room. We especially love them in this bathroom against the white walls and fun tile accent. This chic bath would be an amazing addition to any home.

 BOHO STYLE

Who says you can’t put a bright Turkish textile on Moroccaninspired tile? This bathroom is the perfect blend of Bohemian living, with its warm, natural elements and great mix of pattern.

WHITE IS RIGHT 

Clean, crisp, sleek and bright are just a few words that come to mind when staring at this drool-worthy kitchen. We love ourselves a white wall, and this fresh and modern space is proof that white is oh-so right.

LEYLA JAWORSKI, OWNER OF DESIGN SHOP INTERIORS, 718 SUTTER STREET, SUITE 204, FOLSOM, 916-205-8258, DESIGNSHOPINTERIORS.COM

GO FIGURE 

Geometric prints are on trend for 2016 and can be found in all categories of home décor—in both neutrals and bright colors. This is a trend you can easily incorporate into your existing space; simply buy a decorative geometric object for your tabletop, a geometric lamp or printed lampshade for your existing lamp, or add some geometric wallpaper and geometric-shaped furniture like a coffee table or side tables. I especially love these products: Avizza Table Lamp by Pacific Coast Lighting Ebony by Andrew Four-Piece Framed Graphic Art Set by Paragon Trigg Wall Vessel Large by Umbra. NOTE: Use anywhere around your home as a planter, or for storage of supplies and knickknacks. Dashiell Two Piece Sculpture Set by Vertuu Design Inc. Harmon Small Accessory and Harmon Large Accessory by Arteriors. NOTE: These look great in a bookcase, sitting on top of a stack of books or caging an orchid.

 SING THE BLUES

Blue is trending in a big way! And not just one shade of blue, either—everything from navy to one of Pantone’s color of the year: serenity. Blue can act as a neutral or as a bold statement hue. Navy has become a standard option for many upholstery manufacturers; the classic color schemes of blue and white or blue and yellow are back in a big way, too. Another option is to use many shades of blue to create an ocean of color. Scandinavian style uses dusty rose, frosty gray, soft blue/gray with untreated woods and mid-century furniture.

GLAM IT UP  Luxury and glamour go hand in hand. Expect to see wallpaper with metallic backgrounds or a pearlescent finish, lighting with lots of crystals, wood furniture with mirrored or gilded finishes, and sofas and other upholstery with deep acrylic button tufting, nailhead trims and velvet fabrics—all done with a feminine flair and some floral thrown in. Women all over the U.S. are embracing their femininity and making their homes reflect it! 38 stylergbr.com - February 2016

BACK TO BASICS 

Clean, classic lines are always trendy.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT  One of the most popular color trends is to keep it light and airy with a pop of color like a teal accent wall, chair or pillows. Large, oversized textured metallic pictures where less is more add a “wow” factor, along with engineered hardwood large planked flooring in neutral and light colors.

COLOR YOUR WORLD One of the most important things to consider in working with a designer is that the latest color palettes are only available to designers and not usually found in your local paint store. There are several associations that designers participate in or have connections to. Keeping the clients’ design goals in mind, it’s our job as professionals to make their dreams come true!

SHELLEY RODGERS, DESIGNER AND OWNER OF FABULOUS FINISHES, FOLSOM, 916-803-3289, FABULOUSFINISHESHOMES.COM

 SHINE ON Carpets, flooring, wallpaper and décor in a shiner accent of neutrals, known in the design world as “damask,” are also trending.

February 2016 - stylergbr.com 39

interior

INSPIRATIONS POLISHED SIMPLICITY We can achieve this look by making the classic and timeless more crisp and polished—mixing traditional with modern; mixing luxurious accessories and accents with organic material; introducing metal, glass and stone elements to timeless classics; adding saturated accent colors with refined texture and crisp solid textiles. Statement art pieces are also a must.

VINTAGE ECLECTIC This look can be achieved by adding vintage or vintage-inspired elements juxtaposed with modern elements, rich but tonal colorways, weathered or worn finishes contrasted with touches of shine and gloss, or luxurious linen and velvet textiles. All of this can only be achieved with a good foundation, such as choosing the right Oriental rug to build around.

CHAIR POSE 

My favorite chair at the moment is the Faye Wing by Verellen. I love the casual yet sophisticated look of the brand whose motto is “Belgian conception. American perfection.”

 LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!

 LESS IS MORE Soothing color palettes with an emphasis on simplicity—especially neutral off-whites combined with soft sage or olive greens—are a top choice. The necessary interest can be achieved with contrasting materials and colors.

The brand Visual Comfort offers something for every taste and has exceptional quality and timeless style.

CHRISTIN BALZER, OWNER AT HAVEN STUDIOS, EL DORADO HILLS, 916-256-2580, HAVENSTUDIOS.COM

WORK ZONES  Instead of the work triangle, it becomes more and more common to utilize work zones in today’s kitchens. If you like to entertain, you know how important it is to give your guests a place to hang out and perch while you’re preparing food. It’s even better when there’s extra workspace for them to help.

INSPIRATIONS  SQUEAKY CLEAN

ACCESSIBLE SHOWER 

Universal design, which allows for accessibility by all, should be considered in all design discussions. Barrier-free showers without a shower dam to step over will allow people to stay in their homes longer. Safety considerations, such as grab bars—which can be decorative and not commercial looking—allow for protection, functionality and help with access in and out of tub areas or showers. A tile floor border around the shower and smaller tiles within the shower visually enhances where the bathroom floor ends and the shower area begins—a visual cue that’s helpful to everyone, not just those who are visually impaired.

 FLOOR IT

Wood-look tiles are functional and attractive, providing the look of real wood in a durable, more-easily maintained surface (i.e. no scratches from pets, easily mopped). In addition, many of these tiles have textured surfaces, thus providing for no-slip surfaces in “wet” locations. Install these tiles in all areas of the home and adjacent to other existing tile surfaces (entryways, kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms). The new and existing tile floors can flush out with each other, so no floor transitions or raised moldings are required between rooms, thereby allowing for ease of movement without trip hazards.

SHOWER POWER 

Even lowbarrier shower entries facilitate getting in and out of them. Utilizing a coved, Corian shower pan with a small lip at the shower entry is easily maintained (i.e. no grout) and less costly, since there is no need to re-frame the floor or jackhammer out concrete to lower the floor.

Kent Eberle photo by Dante Fontana. Squeaky Clean photo by Dave Adams. Other photos courtesy of their respective companies.

Capturing space from adjacent areas can allow for increased functionality; for example, taking closet space from an adjacent room can allow for a roomy steam shower. Tiles are getting larger and longer, which means less grout and less maintenance, as well as a great look! Bench seats—whether corner seats, fold-down seats, or blocking installed between wall studs (for future installation)—should be considered in showers for increased functionality. Handheld showerheads on “slidebars” allow for adjustment and flexibility of use by all bathers and can double as safety grab bars.

DECK THE WALLS 

Not only does wallpaper add a statement, but it brings in visual energy as well as another layer of texture and depth to any room, too. If you’re nervous to commit, I suggest using it on one wall, possibly the one the sofa backs up to, or a piece of furniture that needs a little extra attention to make the “pop” you want to see in the room. Other great places include areas in your home where you aren’t always in, such as powder rooms or dining rooms.

 MIX AND MINGLE It’s bling like you’ve never seen! Gone are the days of “matchy matchy” and in comes a new wave of mixing metals. Your jewelry isn’t the only one that gets to have fun anymore in this department; now you will find spaces decorated with multiple metals, offering a new look to the standard monochromatic style.

SAMANTHA CROW, PRINCIPAL DESIGNER AND OWNER OF JUXTAPOSED INTERIORS, ROCKLIN, 916-719-3681, JUXTAPOSEDINTERIORS.COM

GREY DAYS  Grey is the new black. Taupe also has a very strong hold in the market. Both grey and taupe are being used as neutrals to ground a room, regardless of the style.

 EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN Traditional and modern architecture and interiors are back! As people have moved away from the Tuscan trend, they are moving to one of these designs or a blend of both, which is called transitional. One of my favorite things to do is take something old and make it look new with the use of updated textiles or color.

METAL MIXTURES  To keep things interesting, people are mixing their metals. For example, they might have polished nickel or brass lighting like this Zanadoo Large Chandelier by Arteriors, or antique brass drawer pulls.

ANNE SACCO, OWNER OF ANNE SACCO INTERIORS, 1121 WHITE ROCK ROAD, SUITE 206, EL DORADO HILLS, 916-769-0809, ANNESACCOINTERIORS.COM

 DON’T BE A WALLFLOWER Wallpaper is back and it’s better than ever—elegant, casual and natural with endless possibilities.

INSPIRATIONS ROSY OUTLOOK 

I predict a lot of beautiful, soft and radiating pink/rose quartz (Pantone’s color of the year!) mixed with warm metals like copper and rose gold. I especially love this Dornbracht Cyprum Kitchen Faucet in rose gold.

FIGHT FOR YOUR WHITE I feel there will be a turn away from cool grey tones on walls; my clients are loving ivory, bone, creamy whites…and comfort!

FROM THE GROUND UP Pattern floors—whether it’s a herringbone wood floor, painted hardwood or cement tiles—are all the rage.

 MIX AND MINGLE

 ORGANIC SOPHISTICATION Organic sophistication, one of our most anticipated trends for 2016, focuses on the great outdoors with lux outside furniture and natural elements. To curate an outdoor oasis, look to the Kerrie Kelly Design Lab for Guildery’s Mod Monet Throw Pillows, available in different shapes and sizes for your lounging pleasure. With natural repetition and bold coloring, the Mod Monet fabric is perfect for your stylish soiree this coming spring.

CURATED CARAVAN 

Twenty-sixteen is the year of fanciful patterns and splashes of color, and what better way to celebrate the new year than with beautiful pillows to match? Based on one of our most loved trends for the year, the Kerrie Kelly Design Lab for Guildery’s La Bonne Fete Fabric is a party in a pattern. Perfect on throw pillows and large upholstered pieces, this intricately layered pattern celebrates European design with a stroke of California casual.

 ART DECO

The art deco trend of 2016 is a nod to the Roaring ’20s and its placeholder as the most elegant and electric period of history. Add a bit of deco to your space with the Kerrie Kelly Design Lab for Guildery’s Ciao Bella Wall Covering. Featuring interwoven geometric shapes and stark coloring, this pattern is perfect for a powder room or entryway.

Wise Villa Winery Bistro Award-Winning Wine and Good Food to Boot by Jennifer Resnicke // photos by Dante Fontana

ith an impressive lineup of award-winning wines, the drinks alone would be worth a trip to Wise Villa, but add to that the pairing possibilities at the onsite bistro, and you’ve got a match made in heaven (or Lincoln, as it were). Pulling into the tasting room we were welcomed by an adorable golden retriever, which made my dog-loving husband happy, and were quickly seated at a dark, cherry-wood table next to large windows overlooking the vineyards. Before long our appetizer of salmon sliders arrived: the moist and hearty fish formed into patties and fried until perfectly crispy, then settled into soft buns with a perky lemon-dill aioli and peppery arugula. It was

The delectable pappardelle pasta—tossed with red onion, sweet cherry tomatoes and spinach in a white wine and butter sauce with toasted pine nuts and Parmesan—was addictively enjoyable. The name pappardelle is derived from the Italian verb “pappare,” which means to gobble up—a fitting moniker for my dish with wide, ribbon-like noodles that soaked up the delish sauce.

a fantastic blending of flavors and artfully avoided the common pitfall of too much dill overwhelming the delicate flavors. My husband dug into a classic wagyu burger with house-ground beef, spinach, tomatoes and aioli. The patty was generously portioned and perfectly seasoned with just enough salt to spotlight the natural flavor of the meat. 50 stylergbr.com - February 2016

Pappardelle Pasta

I originally ordered a roasted beet salad, but soon after the waiter came out to inform me that the chef decided the beets weren’t in prime condition, so I would need to pick an alternate. Luckily, I had been eyeing the pasta as well, and found it refreshing that the chef chose to stick to his high standards rather than

dinner date SHRIMP CAPONATA Affairs to Remember by Sandy Axelrod (Motivational Press, 2015, $34.95) This combination of sweet, succulent shrimp with wine and vegetables makes a very satisfying meal. Make sure to have plenty of good crusty bread on hand to sop up the delicious juices! • 2 tbsp. plus 1/4 cup fruity olive oil • 2 lbs. large shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail left on • 2 large red onions, diced • 10 large garlic cloves, minced • 2 medium white eggplant, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds, then cubed (if you can’t find white eggplant by all means use regular eggplant) • 4 small zucchini, sliced into half moons • 3 red bell peppers, seeded and diced • 4 medium ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced • 1/4 cup capers, drained • 3/4 cup dry white wine • 1/2 cup white wine vinegar • 3/4 cup raisins • Kosher salt • Freshly ground black pepper • 2 tbsp. za’atar (found in Middle Eastern markets, optional but delicious) 52 stylergbr.com - February 2016

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large heavy skillet over mediumhigh heat. Season the shrimp generously on both sides with salt and pepper. When the oil is shimmering sauté the shrimp in batches until opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and tent with foil to keep warm. Add the remaining oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions and sauté until translucent and slightly colored, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Put the eggplant in the pan and season generously with salt and pepper and cook until slightly softened and starting to brown, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the zucchini and cook until starting to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peppers, tomatoes, capers, wine, vinegar, raisins, salt, pepper and za’atar if using. Bring to a boil and cook until some of the liquid has evaporated. Top with the cooked shrimp, cover and cook for an additional 6 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning to your palate. To serve, transfer to a large serving bowl. Serve hot. Makes 8 servings.

2013 FATE VIOGNIER Fate wines are created by Thomas Allen, an experienced sommelier living in Jackson who makes wine from grapes produced in Amador County. This is his third vintage under the Fate label, and his first experience creating a white wine. Viognier is a very temperamental grape from the Rhone region in France whose origins can be traced all the way back to the Roman Empire. The nose of the 2013 Fate Viognier has subtle hints of peach and honeysuckle, but the finish has dry minerality, which pairs perfectly with the abundance of flavors and textures found in this month’s Shrimp Caponata. —Geri Walcott, Events Manager, 36 Handles Pub & Eatery

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? We provide makeup services for brides, special events, prom and more, both in studio and on location. We also teach makeup workshops and airbrush certification courses for ProMUA and non-ProMUA, and sell Kryolan, Morphe, Besame, Dolly Wink, Sigma, and apothecary products for men and women. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? Not being afraid of being afraid. Who is your role model in business or in life, and why? I admire anyone who is kind, respectful and does good, honest work! I admire businesspeople who respect money and adhere strictly to intelligent business practices. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I love the natural world. To relax and get focused, I enjoy swimming laps or taking long hikes. What’s your hidden talent? I often style shoots and take photos of the makeup jobs we do. I like creating looks and images that are outside the narrow “beauty” parameters. I like oddities; they’re beautiful to me and tell a true human story. No Photoshop is my rule for sure! What’s your favorite childhood memory? Sneaking into my mom’s purse and putting on her lipstick—I loved makeup…the packaging, the colors, the texture and the allure of its magic! If you could be any other profession, what would it be? An industrial engineer. I’m obsessed with industrial design and am always looking at ways to improve the most mundane, task-driven elements. And finally, customer service is…? The key to success! To start and maintain a successful business, you must love to be of service to others. You must also be willing to be honest—people know when you’re faking it, so don’t. Be grateful for their business and remember the lean times; be humble and strong and do good work.

I own and run a pet sitting, dog walking and pet care business; after working at dog hotels and as a veterinary technician, I decided to follow my own passion! Why is your staff the best in the business? It’s 99-percent me, with the occasional help of some independent contractors. We all have veterinary experience and the skills and knowledge to handle special needs, sick, and geriatric pets. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? I’m most proud of my degree in veterinary technology, receiving the “Best Pet Sitter” Award from Thumbtack, having all five-star reviews on Yelp, and landing in the top five “Best Pet Sitters” on KCRA 3’s A-List the first year I was nominated. What’s your biggest job perk? Getting to play with dogs and cats is like free animal therapy. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Thai Chili and KT Noodle. What’s your favorite local event that you go to? SactoMoFo’s Food Truck Mania in Rocklin. What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Hand Pickin Emporium. I’m obsessed with mid-century modern design, and my friend Barb has such a cool shop. And finally, customer service is…? Anticipating your customers’ needs and going above and beyond their expectations. In this day and age, social media presence is also huge—my clients love seeing their pets’ pictures posted on Facebook and Instagram.

great balls of blah Décor Gone Wrong by Tom Mailey

y wife has good taste when it comes to appointing our home. The furniture matches; our walls are adorned with family photos; knickknack shelves have just the right amount of knicks and k n a c k s . S o w hy s h e insists on continuing to display the one item in our home that makes no decorative sense is baffling to me. It’s on our FOR MORE TOM’S TAKES kitchen table. In fact, it AND... takes up a substantial WHAT’S COMING portion of it. I had to NEXT MONTH? move it before sitting DON’T MISS STYLE’S “20+ down to my laptop to EATS AND DRINKS AROUND TOWN,” PLUS MUCH MORE, write this. I’m looking at VISIT STYLERGBR.COM. it right now. 66 stylergbr.com - February 2016

It is a great big bowl of balls. Now, I almost get the bowl part. We eat cereal out of bowls, and soup, and it’s on our kitchen table. I kinda see a connection. But the balls? No. One is made of woven reed; two others, woven twigs. One has a bell in it, like a cat toy… it might be a cat toy. Another seems to be a large wad of dried moss, and still another appears covered in scales made of almond shavings. One I think is some kind of ocean sponge creature, or creatures. The whole ensemble is weighted down with a single heavy ball of polished granite. There isn’t one that you could throw, hit or bounce. They’re ornamental only. They’re useless. Now, I’m no Frank Lloyd Webber or

Wright or whatever his name was; home design is not my forte: When Vickie met me years ago, the sole artistic statement in my studio apartment was an old Nike poster of early-’80s basketball star Darryl Dawkins sitting on a throne above the words “Chocolate Thunder.” My couch looked like it was made from the kilt of a color-blind Scotsman and my living room lamp was a bare bulb at the end of a brass stick. Vickie taught me useful interior décor tips like, posters are better left in your college dorm room, couch patterns shouldn’t remind you of an explosion at a ribbon factory, and lamps should have shades. But even I know there is no point to a bowl of balls—figuratively or literally. More than anything, the ball bowl is just in the way. The kitchen table is not only a place to eat, it’s a place to study, write or browse the Internet. I don’t believe it was ever meant as a place to sit and contemplate a bowl of random balls. Also, what to do with the ball bowl when we do sit down to eat, study or surf the web? The bowl itself is the size of one of those Chinese sun hats, only upsidedown. The only space large enough for it besides the kitchen table is the pool table. But the pool table already has a purpose—it’s where our laundry goes. The last time it was actually used for playing pool was 2011. So usually the bowl just gets shoved back and forth from one side to another, like the sole piece to an odd, unwinnable board game. I wish I had the courage to state to my wife that, you know what, the bowl of decorative spheres has reached the end of its usefulness in our house—we’ve gotten our money’s worth, dear, but it’s time to move on. However, that would require a couple spheres of my own, and those have been in my wife’s purse for the last 25 years. So, this bowl and I will continue to co-exist. I’ll move it when I need to, ignore it when I don’t, and when it’s really bugging me, maybe I’ll distract myself by finally putting away the laundry and shooting a game of pool.

Your skin doesn’t forget. Let us help you protect it. Sun damage is cumulative over one’s lifetime, and too much sun can cause skin cancer – the number one most common cancer in the world. The incidence of melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, more than doubled in women from 1973 to 2004, and nearly doubled for men. The Skin Cancer Foundation suggests the following: - Do not burn and seek the shade, especially between 10am and 4pm - Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths - Cover up with clothing, including a brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses - Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher everyday; for extended outdoor activity use an SPF of 30 or higher - Apply 1 ounce (2 tbsp) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside; reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating - Keep newborns out of the sun; sunscreens should be used on babies over the age of six months - Examine your skin head-to-toe every month - See your doctor every year for a professional skin exam
