[ LETTER FROM THE EDITOR ] In a special feature this issue, Patty Hannum writes about her 2014 New Year’s resolution, which was to have a ‘Year of Yes,’ i.e. to be open to new experiences and new friendships. I can see why that might be appealing: You’d make a point of trying out things that perhaps you’ve never done before. Or spending time with people you haven’t seen in ages. Maybe you’d eat things like turtle soup, coniglio (rabbit) or frog’s legs (ewwww). At the risk of sounding curmudgeonly, I propose a Year of No. Saying no to social engagements, shopping trips, watching TV and movies, and no to all the things your kids and grandkids ask for, like: Bubby, can we go to Hanna Anderson and buy lots and lots of clothes? Imagine all the free time you’d have to read that stack of books you never get to because you’re buying and returning things. And the money you’d save by being a homebody. Mostly, you’d learn to appreciate the quiet and relative solitude. You might turn to other, more introspective pursuits like painting, writing and playing that expensive piano you had to have but never use. I guess it’s a matter of balance: immediate gratification versus some later benefit you can’t really predict at the moment because you’ve never had a Year of No before. Could be very interesting, even bold.

Pushing Boundaries: The All-New Hyundai Genesis and Equus

BY MUNGENAST HYUNDAI

top for a moment and think about life’s pursuits. It’s all about perception, right? Whether perceived status, intelligence, or success, we are driven to create for ourselves an image of our ideal selves – to shape the way others see us. To create the best lives possible for ourselves and those closest to us. But what might hold considerable value to one person may not carry the same weight with another. Everything we do in life means something different from everyone else’s vantage point. Instead of placating others to win their favor, indulge yourself with what you actually want – even if you want everything. Allow us to introduce you to the premium lineup from Mungenast Hyundai – the 2014 Equus and all-new 2015 Genesis sedan. Both are here to challenge your perception of pure, unadulterated luxury. Everything you want, nothing you don’t – and more you’ll soon wonder how you ever lived without. Uncompromising craftsmanship and attention to detail, premium design and feel with a profound sense of dynamism and purpose are what you will discover in both of these elegant vehicles. The 2014 Hyundai Equus offers the same level of luxury one would expect from competing models that can easily cost $100,000 or more. A car to drive, or to be driven in, the Equus can be yours for $499 per month for 36 months with $3,999 due at lease signing. And with our signature Equus Concierge Service, if you can’t come to us, we’ll bring the car to your home or office for a private demonstration. Should your vehicle require service, simply call us at Mungenast Hyundai, and we will valet your Equus to and from our dealership and you will

be lent an Equus of ours to drive while yours is being serviced. Between the opulence the Equus affords and the premium, first-class experience we offer for it, your friends will think you’ve spent thousands more – but the fact that you didn’t will simply be our little secret. Genesis is all-new for 2015 and returns with more aggressive styling, advanced technology, the latest passive and active safety features and available HTRAC all-wheel drive. In fact, the Genesis is the first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan to earn the IIHS’s highest honor of Top Safety Pick+ when equipped with optional Automatic Emergency Braking. Hyundai recognizes that wearable technology is the future, and

with the 2015 Genesis, the future is now. With Hyundai’s proprietary BlueLink system, remotely lock, unlock, or start the Genesis from your smartphone, PC, or even Google Glass. At Mungenast Hyundai, we take pride in making your dream of owning a luxury car, that is every bit as intelligent and unique as you are, a reality. Right now, lease a new Genesis for $429 per month for 24 months with just $3,999 due at lease signing. Discover the Equus and Genesis at Mungenast Hyundai, conveniently located near the intersection of Lindbergh Blvd. and I-270 at 649 Dunn Road in Hazelwood, MO.

COVER STORY

SUCCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS LOGOS SCHOOL by tony di martino KATHY WAS A QUIET GIRL, lost in a big school. She felt like she didn’t matter. She didn’t want to go to school. She didn’t want to study. She didn’t even want to get out of bed. In the middle of her sophomore year, on the verge of dropping out, she switched to Logos School. “From the minute I walked in, I felt unconditional love and acceptance,” Kathy recalls. “Surrounded by people I could rely on, I dared to set goals and accomplish them. My self-esteem soared.” She thrived there, and went on to earn degrees in psychology, counseling and special education. Today, more than 30 years later, Kathy Boyd-Fenger, Ph.D., is head of school at Logos. Logos provides a unique, three-tiered approach for students in grades six through 12 who are struggling in a traditional school setting. “Most students, no matter how severe their academic or emotional issues, have the ability to change and succeed,” Boyd-Fenger explains. “All they need is a chance, and the right environment. We’re the only school in the area that combines an innovative academic program with therapeutic support and parental or guardian involvement. We turn struggles into strengths.” Logos offers a year-round program with an individualized education plan for each student and a 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio. “Once students get back on track, they either return to their traditional school, or they graduate from here,” Boyd-Fenger notes. Change begins within, and Logos has 13 licensed therapists on staff. “Each student meets weekly with their therapist, with sessions tailored to the student’s individual needs, and group therapy is offered twice weekly, enabling students to get valuable feedback from their peers.” Lasting, substantial emotional growth is more likely to occur when there are accompanying changes within the student’s family system, she adds. “That’s why we encourage family involvement. Parents are required to attend support groups regularly, and we’re always available for meetings, phone calls and emails.” The innovative combination of academics, therapy and family support is effective, Boyd-Fenger says. “During the last 40-plus years, more than 1,000 at-risk adolescents have received a high school diploma from Logos, and many more have been successfully mainstreamed back to their traditional schools after spending time with us,” she notes. “Ninety-eight percent of our students graduate from high school, and 92 percent go on to post-secondary education.” Parents appreciate what Logos does for their kids. “My son was angry, suspicious and belligerent after being bullied and unprotected at his previous school,” a parent writes. “But the entire Logos staff took an interest in his growth. He felt appreciated, supported and safe. He’s now succeeding in a traditional academic environment. Logos was a lifesaver for our family. For the first time, we weren’t alone.” Students are equally appreciative. “I wouldn’t have made it without Logos,” a young man writes. “I cannot express enough gratitude for the hope you’ve given me.”

TALK [TOWNS] by bill beggs jr.

When sales for troubled big-box retailer Kmart continued to dip nationwide last spring, the company closed stores, including the one in the 15000 block of Manchester Road (at Clarkson) in Ellisville. Some had speculated that Walmart would make its move to take over the space, after having had its construction plans denied for the other side of Manchester. But at least three other retailers have announced plans to take over the complex, Ellisville Square, which also has been home to a Chinese restaurant and a gun shop. And there has been much rejoicing, especially among fans of the somewhat smaller, big-box retailers: Sports Authority, Michaels and Party City. The specialty stores—with footprints of 40,000 square feet, 19,000 square feet and 16,000 square feet, respectively—are anticipated to be up and running by next fall. Well, this really takes the cake. Literally. There now are only 249 cake sculptures on public display throughout the Lou for its 250th anniversary because someone apparently swiped the one on the grounds of the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home near Ballas and KIRKWOOD

Dougherty Ferry roads in Kirkwood. Be on the lookout for a big fake cake with one candle on top; it looks exactly like all the others except for being painted in pastel colors that likely would have horrified Wright, who had this thing for aesthetics vis-à-vis an architecture and its surroundings. Some cakes just can’t get no respect. I’d be surprised if none of the iconic stl250 celebratory birthday cakes hasn’t been ‘enhanced’ with graffiti by now. Meanwhile, the candle has disappeared off a cake in front of the Salvation Army’s regional headquarters on Hampton Avenue. Attention, knuckleheads (and you know who you are): Do not eat. LADUE

Ballwin’s city council has reversed course, somewhat, and has voted to ‘study’ the issue of body cameras for its police force. While one alderman argued that might be too late in case a few of the city’s officers were called in to help quell unrest in other parts of the metro, others insisted the purchase needs to be made judiciously in light of new technology that should be available early next year. The big deal? Body cams would be linked to the dash cams already in the city’s police cars if new software becomes available sooner rather than later. The issue will be moot for Shamed Dogan, the lone alderman who begged to differ. He will be sworn in as the new state rep in the 98th District in January.

OF THE

Congrats to Karielle Chambers of Ladue; that is, Miss Ladue to you. She came in second (officially, she’s first runner-up) in the Miss Missouri 2015 competition held recently at Lindenwood University in St. Charles. Chambers is a Mizzou grad originally from Kansas City and is currently a Rams cheerleader. The Miss Missouri 2015 and Miss Missouri Teen 2015 pageants both were held Sunday, Nov. 10. (2015, already? Kind of like how the hot cars for the new model year show off their stuff the previous year, only these ‘models’ dazzled in evening gowns and swimsuits.) Rebecca Dunn, Miss Columbia, was crowned Miss Missouri, and Sydnee Stottlemyre, Miss Gateway St. Louis, was second runner-up. In one of the most amusing photos we’ve ever seen from a pageant, Stottlemyre seems to be giving the other two a, well, snarky look. But we’re told she was looking intently at the show’s emcee (who was outside the frame). And congrats

go out to a Sedalia girl, Chelsea Stratton, who bested the field to win the title of Miss Missouri Teen 2015. Some drivers get especially crabby during highway construction. But it’s important to remember: it just takes awhile! Sometimes more than a generation, which is how long, officials say, the Page Avenue extension project took to complete. It was 45 years ago that a central corridor connecting St. Louis and St. Charles counties first was envisioned, St. Charles County exec Steve Ehlmann told the group present at a ribbon-cutting ceremony last month. This final phase, the third, completed the section from Mid Rivers Mall Drive in St. Peters to Interstate 64. Actual construction took 11 years, the first phase taking I-270 near Westport Plaza and crossing the Missouri River to west of Jungs Station Road in St. Charles County. As an aside, think a penny isn’t worth much? Well then, how worthless is a half-penny? Actually, they do add up: The half-cent sales tax in St. Charles County contributed $29.2 million of the $118.2-million cost to complete Phase 3! The news on Veterans Day was mixed. First, since vets are used to bad news, the not-so-good: A muchballyhooed, city-supported project to help homeless vets on the difficult road to self-sufficiency is reportedly itself facing financial challenges. Apartments in a building in the 3100 block of Cherokee Street were provided rent-free to some 50 homeless vets, in one day, as part of a ‘rapid rehousing’ project called Gateway 180. Several formerly homeless vets have found jobs through the program, which provides counseling and other services, along with rent. But there have been issues with utility bills, and some clients have had their power shut off. Here’s hoping the promising program finds its way through the local and federal red tape so that the people it serves can get on their feet—and stay there. Meanwhile, on Nov. 11, it was announced that the former Cass Bank building at 13th and Cass, vacant for years and suffering the ravages of time and vandals, will become a source of hope for vets who need anything from financial assistance to counseling. Veterans Landing is the name for a planned clearinghouse of veterans services that will be available to the approximately 250,000 vets throughout the greater metro, should planners get the additional backing needed. (Much of the funding is either committed or in place, but an ‘angel’ investor or two couldn’t hurt.) A resource center, not a shelter, the ‘Landing’ would pull together reps from various agencies under one roof, and plans include a coffeehouse/restaurant … plus mentoring services, even a business incubator. Upbeat planners say part of the projected $5 million enterprise could be operating by early next year.

TOWN TALK

on sterling silver

A new twist

Sisters Landon and Heath Slane have woven their love of sterling silver into a bracelet you’ll wear every day and love every minute. Available exclusively at Elleard Heffern.

Phillip Goodwin might not be a familiar name to most readers. But the name Charlie Dooley should ring a bell. Our lame-duck county executive is Goodwin’s father. News last month that Goodwin, of U. City, had been arrested for more than a dozen gas-station robberies came too late to have any bearing on the vicious Democratic primary contest between Dooley and Steve Stenger, county council chairman who won the race in the general election Nov. 4 against Republican Rick Stream. Dooley has had scandals aplenty during his 11 years in office, but political message-benders would have had a field day with the news that Dooley’s son was a robber. Maybe, because of the different surnames, the muckrakers just didn’t rake deeply enough. Goodwin’s last alleged robbery was Oct. 8. He’d just been released from prison in the spring after doing his time for a previous robbery. Turkey Day—it’s not just another holiday and Black Friday Eve. It’s also the moniker of the legendary annual gridiron contest between the Statesmen of Webster Groves and the Pioneers of Kirkwood high schools. This is a game that has been played for more than a century. All we know about the game at this point is that whichever school wins on Thanksgiving will get to keep the Frisco Bell for a year. And we can assure you the coach of the other team will say something like, ‘We just didn’t execute.’ The night before the game is almost as exciting, and an opportunity to get your pre-feast gluttony game on, at the annual Webster’s Best Chili Fest, when chili concocters both pro and amateur go ladle to ladle in a competition that’s much hotter, at least in terms of temperature, than anything that happens on the field. The $8 admission fee ($5 for students) gets you all-you-cansample from 12 pinto-bean purveyors, plus the chance to vote for your favorite, from 5 to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 26. Meanwhile, Kirkwood puts on its own fest, the Chili Bowl. Then, champ pro chili cookers from the Fest and Bowl will have a ‘taste off’… results to be announced at halftime the next day and winner to take home the Frisco Bowl trophy.

Some have called it ‘Gategate.’ Well, maybe it was just me. At any rate, the brouhaha over whether subdivisions in Wildwood can have entry gates is over, and the national news media that descended on this hilly town can now all go home. (Well, maybe they never came.) In any case, there has been plenty of concern on both sides of the gatedcommunities issue, which culminated in a bit of political drama over the past few weeks as the city council passed the measure, the mayor vetoed it, and an attempt to override the veto failed by two votes. Some residents believe the gates would provide an extra measure of security, which is a safe bet. But first responders were concerned that gates could present an obstacle in emergencies (a less-safe bet, so to speak). NOVEMBER 19, 2014

alzheimer’s association

The organization works to eliminate the disease through research, to provide care and support for those affected, and to reduce the risk of dementia by promoting brain health.

MEET ARLENE KUSMIN

BY KARYN MEYER

OF CREVE COEUR | VOLUNTEER

Q| HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A VOLUNTEER? A| I got involved with the organization about 15 years ago. Q| WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS PARTICULAR CAUSE? A| My father had Alzheimer’s, and I was his caregiver. I called AA on a daily basis, sometimes asking for help and sometimes just to cry. They would always calm me down and explain what I needed to do. I relied on them for everything; it’s a horrible disease to try to figure out by yourself. My husband Stan and I would come to the caregiver meetings held at night, which was a huge support. I knew some day when I had free time, I would give back to them for all they did for me and my family. I have Alzheimer’s now. At first I couldn’t understand why I got it, but then I realized with all the information I had about the disease, who better to have it? I could help people.

PHOTO: COLIN MILLER OF STRAUSS PEYTON

Q| WHAT KIND OF VOLUNTEER WORK ARE YOU INVOLVED WITH? A| I started out on the help line. I would speak to family members who called in crying, telling me their problems. It was easy to relate to them because I went through the same thing. I built great relationships with many of these people, and we often met for lunch—and I still do with some of them, in fact! For many families, I attended the funeral of their loved one because I was so close with them. Now, I come in the office every now and then to do things like data entry or whatever they need help with. Stan and I are the largest independent fundraisers for the Walk to End Alzheimer’s every year; it’s our biggest claim to fame. We send out hundreds of letters to people we know, make phone calls and stand in front of Dierbergs asking for donations. I’m also involved with the local chapter’s wonderful program for those with early-stage dementia. We attend various functions and go to different speakers. Q| IF YOU COULD DO ANYTHING FOR THE ORGANIZATION, WHAT WOULD IT BE? A| They need money. We’re dealing with a disease most people don’t know much about; it’s a vicious cycle, and it takes everything away from you. People don’t give to Alzheimer’s like they do for cancer or other diseases, so they need more funding to raise awareness. Without financing, you can’t get very far. The people who work here are so devoted; I have never dealt with people so caring and warm. They call me even now to check in and see how I’m doing. I’ve been here for so many years, they’re like family.

SACRED SOUNDS [CATHEDRAL CONCERTS

COVER STORY

by tony di martino SOME THINGS HAVE THE POWER TO TRANSCEND even the most the world’s largest collections. “To hear amazing music in such an awe-inspiring trying times. Among them are the holidays, with their message of peace and unity, and music, with its power to heal and inspire. The Saint Louis Cathedral Concerts series, which takes place at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, combines both. The series kicks off the holiday season Nov. 24 with a performance by Jitro Czech Girls Choir, a group of 25 school-age girls renowned for their tone and harmonies. Among other holiday favorites, Jitro will perform Benjamin Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. “And, as a special treat, girls choirs from Rosati-Kain High School and Ursuline Academy will give a special pre-concert and also join Jitro for a number,” says series executive director Scott Kennebeck. The season continues Dec. 13 and 14 with the 10th annual Christmas at the Cathedral concerts, featuring the Archdiocesan adult and children’s choirs, a handbell choir and an orchestra. “They’ll play and sing sacred and classical holiday music old and new, including excerpts from Handel’s Messiah,” Kennebeck says. The venue is as spectacular as the music. The Cathedral Basilica’s magnificent Romanesque facade, designed by a team of architects led by George Barnett and completed in 1914, houses a soaring Byzantine interior. “It’s a masterpiece, set in the heart of the Central West End,” Kennebeck says. More than 250,000 people visit annually to view its treasures, including 83,000 square feet of mosaic art, one of

environment takes it to an even higher level of meaning,” he adds. Since 1992, Saint Louis Cathedral Concerts have showcased exceptional musical artists and programs in the unique Cathedral Basilica. “We present affordable concerts featuring world-class musicians, performers and repertoire, for the cultural enrichment and enjoyment of people of all religions and creeds,” Kennebeck says. “To date, we’ve entertained more than 175,000 people through our performances and educational outreach programs.” The Cathedral Concerts aren’t just for Christmas. “We present eight to 10 performances a year,” Kennebeck says. The 2014-15 season continues Feb. 8 with concert organist Todd Wilson, March 21 with a cappella Renaissance choir Pomerium, April 15 with vocal ensemble Blue Heron, and May 13 with brass quintet Empire Brass. To help keep the events affordable for all, the series holds a fundraising gala May 3 at the Four Seasons. This year’s Great Music Award recipient is St. Louis Symphony concertmaster David Halen. “Music fuels us, inspires hope and joy, and brings peace even in our darkest hours,” Kennebeck says. “It takes us beyond our everyday lives and connects us to something higher and better within ourselves. Enjoying it during the holidays in a beautiful, sacred place enhances the experience all the more. We hope everyone joins us.”

WHAT DOES

arthritis LOOK LIKE?

Arthritis is not minor aches and pains and it is definitely not an “old person’s” disease. Arthritis does not discriminate by age, sex or socioeconomic status and it does not just affect an individual, but entire families. A child with juvenile arthritis is sentenced to a life living with the consequences of the disease as well as the treatments. With fewer than 250 boardcertified, practicing pediatric rheumatologists in the U.S., children like Maddox G., age 2-1/2 (at left), and their families spend hours traveling for treatment.

Arthritis is one of the most common childhood diseases affecting over 300,000 children. Young adults in the prime of their life may have their plans forever altered because they are diagnosed with one of the 100 types of arthritis; or they may find themselves facing the daunting task of caring for a parent or spouse or child with arthritis.

As the keynote speaker at the 2014 AF Silver Ball, Meaghan Anselm (Return Path Producer—News Channel 5) will recount the difficulties of growing up with RA since diagnosed at the age of three, and her hope for a cure.

I D❤! LAURA LEBEDUN & ROBERT KERCH] by karyn meyer | photos by suzy gorman

5 | 17 | 2014

NOT MANY COUPLES CAN SAY THEY MET IN KINDERGARTEN. But for Laura Lebedun and Robert Kerch, their unique love story began over crayons and watercolors at Greentrails Elementary School...although it took a little while to get to the ‘happily ever after.’ After both graduated from Parkway Central High School, they went their separate ways for college and reconnected in Michigan years later. “Robert lived there, and I posted on Facebook that I would be in town,” Laura explains. “He asked to get together and when I saw him again, I just knew.” Robert moved back to St. Louis, and the two were engaged shortly thereafter. Laura says she was entrusted with much of the planning because of her quick decision making skills (dress shopping took about a half hour). “Robert told me the most important thing to him was that at the end of the day, he was married to me, so I took charge,” she says. She credits her wedding planner, another childhood friend, for taking care of numerous details on the actual day. “My parents and I enjoy good food, so they insisted on Meadowbrook County Club as an option,” Laura says. “We went for a taste testing and signed the contract that day.” The bride had one ‘must have’ on her list: an ice cream sundae bar. “I didn’t get more than a bite, but the guests loved it,” she jokes. Besides marrying the man of her dreams (with their kindergarten teacher present), Laura says the best part of the day was having her mom there as her ‘guest of honor.’ “She was diagnosed with leukemia when I was in high school, and doctors told her she wouldn’t live to see me graduate,” she explains. “She never thought she would see me get married.” The couple resides in Chesterfield. Rob is in sales with The Austin Company, and Laura is an independent personal trainer with Personal Training by Laura.

A Year of

by patty hannum

Yes

My 2014 New Year’s Resolution was to make it my Year of Yes. As I age, I have become more risk-averse. Before I do something, I feel the need to determine the likelihood of death or dismemberment; it is not the best way to live, but hey, I’m alive. During 2014, I decided I would say yes to any (legal) activity a friend suggested—and I’d make an effort to reconnect with friends who had dropped out of my life. Being from St. Louis, it is not hard to believe that I still have friends from high school. (Nerinx Hall class of 1978, for the curious). At our reunion, some of us decided we should recreate our senior year spring break trip, but this time we would have our own beds and we wouldn’t be drinking shots at The Button in Daytona Beach. So 40 years later, we started our adventure in Coral Springs, Fla., with a Boz Skaggs concert. Yes, he is still alive, and yes we were the youngest people at the concert. Five more days together allowed us all to revert back to our behavior in high school, only this time Sister Georgeann did not have to threaten us with expulsion if we missed our curfew. Next, I visited Vermont to see if you really could go 15 years without talking to old friends and pick up where you left off. I’m happy to report you can. I’m unhappy to report that part of this little adventure involved standing in a river learning to fly fish. Yeah, me in a cold river surrounded by nature. I took one wrong step and ended up becoming ‘one with the river.’ My friends certainly enjoyed my display of grace. Unfortunately this meant three weeks of physical therapy to fix the shoulder I jammed as I smashed into the rocks. The last time I was an avid concertgoer was during the years of the Mississippi River Festival. But this year, I managed to see Earth, Wind & Fire, Pearl Jam and everyone in between. When Pearl Jam was popular, I was working and having kids. Eddie Vedder meant nothing to me. But my friend and fellow columnist, Raschelle Burton, is a fan. I can’t even describe the concert other than to say I am certain the people in front of us wondered why someone brought their mom to a concert. And no, Eddie did not pick Raschelle or me out of the crowd to sing with him. And finally, I took a trip to Scottsdale, a city I don’t particularly like but it was going to be the site of a dear friend’s birthday celebration. We went on a tour led by a cowboy with a gun, knife and forceps attached to his

belt. He piled us into his Jeep, and we hiked through the desert doing two things I hate: sweating and getting up-close and personal with nature. It was going well until I started talking with my hands. Of course, my hand ended up in a cactus. I now understand why

the cowboy carried forceps. (At least we didn’t need to use the gun or knife.) In between the trips and concerts, my Year of Yes included reviewing resumes for my friends’ children, helping people with business plans, volunteering for charitable organizations, bowling, tracking down old friends and making new ones. So, as 2014 comes to an end, I am happy to say goodbye to my Year of Yes, but not good riddance. I did things this year that caused some physical harm, but I also can’t remember the last time I had so much fun. If you are looking for a New Year’s Resolution try making 2015 your Year of Yes. As for me, 2015 is going to be my year of Let Me Think About It.

FOR HEALING ARTS by karyn meyer

EVERYONE DESERVES SOME ‘ME’ TIME, a chance to escape the fast pace of everyday life, if even for a couple of hours. How does a “sanctuary for the senses sound”? That’s what Andrew Goodman calls his new retreat, Aquarius Wellness Center for Healing Arts, in Richmond Heights. He saw the need for a center that went beyond the day spa into holistic healing and balancing. Dot Fleshman, Aquarius Wellness spa consultant, has been in the industry for 23 years and has worked with many major spas around St. Louis. “What makes this one so different is its size; it’s a boutique atmosphere that provides a calming home away from home,” she says. “A lot of day spas are places to go with girlfriends to have fun and replenish, but this is specifically about focusing on the individual, getting centered, and feeling complete and re-energized.” The spa opened in January, and Fleshman says Goodman has made it his goal from the beginning to bring the best talent together to deliver quality services for clients. “His mission is unique in that he focuses on both the clients and wellness providers, making sure everyone has a good sense of energy and nourishment.” The services offered are unique as well. Along with massage and facials, there are numerous types of yoga, acupuncture, Reiki and other mind-body specialties. “Yoga at Aquarius Wellness is not the typical class you’d find other places,” Fleshman explains. “We focus on breathing techniques and the meditative aspect through private yoga sessions. We had a woman come in who had been taking yoga for a long time, but solely for conditioning purposes. She came here and said it was obvious she had no clue what she was doing before. It should be about settling your mind—hard for both instructor and practitioner to focus on when you’re crowded into a class of 30.” Another specialty service is the acufacial, which is acupuncture on the face. “Forget Botox,” Fleshman says. “An acufacial increases collagen production. When done with acupuncture, you can clear your body’s meridians and unclog your face at the same time. You leave feeling so wonderful.” Various Reiki treatments use touch to facilitate energy flow throughout the body and can be targeted for specific issues like stress, headaches and chronic pain. For clients unsure of which treatment would be best for them, Fleshman says the spa concierge on staff will create a personalized program. Aquarius Wellness also is working with local health care providers to create wellness programs for employees. “People in the health care industry are drained by the end of the day, not to mention by the end of the month! They really look forward to coming in to the center,” she says. “We’re also getting requests from companies to go on location.” Fleshman notes that there is a much greater focus now on taking care of ourselves, which is evident by the growing number of spas across the country. “In another 10 years, spas will be everywhere,” she says. “People realize they need a break, they need to be centered.”

IF FIRST IMPRESSIONS CAN BE TRUSTED, cheese and ham, lightly ‘smashed,’ like potatoes often tender piece of meat, is usually served in prosaic dishes

this new spot by Chef Ben Anderson is going to be a winner on all fronts. It has the whole package: warm, homey ambience, fair prices and food that is not only good, but also interesting. Culinary inventiveness is a key element in the dining experience, and inventive is the kind of place I can see this being. The menu is seasonal, so it will evolve along with the provisions available. The nights we visited, squash, Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, carrots and cabbage made appearances, and each was prepared to delight, and usually surprise, the diner. A pork chop is so much more interesting when it is served with a ramekin of cheesy mashed cauliflower, sweet red cabbage and apple-mustard compote. Identified as Deppe Farms heritage Duroc pork ($19), the chop was flavorful and moist in its own right. But serve it with three exciting sides, and it’s like winning the Lotto. The cauliflower came baked with melted

are. The cabbage was cooked soft, very sweet and slightly sour, and was blurred into the apple mustard compote. Together, it was a great plate of food. Same for the Texas Gulf Shrimp ($25), which is among the best dishes I’ve tasted. The five crustaceans, maple glazed, had a peppery rub and were expertly grilled to have the slightest crustiness at the edges, thanks to their burnt maple sugar. They sat on a delicious sweet potato puree and chunky corn relish with bacon. The 5-Spice Encrusted Salmon ($20) was identified as wild-caught, amazing at this price—and amazing in both taste and presentation. The Asian spicing was good, but the pairing with pineapple-tamarind sauce and slaw with chili vinaigrette was inspired. The sweet elements in the fruits and slaw played beautifully with the Asian 5-spice rub. It is a challenge to make such an omnipresent fish outstanding, but Grapeseed did it. Similarly, flat-iron steak ($18), a not-particularly

like steak frites. But not here. The medium rare slices came beautifully fanned out and sitting on potatoes mashed with sautéed kale—buttery and satisfying. A dense steak sauce, tangy and hearty, was mounded on each slice of the meat. Additionally, delicately sautéed whole baby carrots and a few buttered wax beans were on the plate. Our Gnocchi with Brown Butter starter ($9), too, was memorable. A handful of chewy potato-dough balls came drizzled with brown butter and surrounded by shaved Brussels sprouts and pecans. The only dish I tasted here that was ‘ordinary’ was the Buttonwood Farm butternut squash soup ($5): It was good, just not ‘wow.’ A dessert of ‘apple pie’ $5) was actually a crostade filled with cinnamon-y apples. It was flavorful, not overly sweet and very fresh-tasting. While they say a great meal is priceless, it’s nice to know you can get one here for a decent price.

by jorie taylor BACK TO BASICS: A Purist’s Guide To Thanksgiving Cocktails >> The act of mixing drinks has in recent years been promoted to a

near art form. Items once considered purely culinary have migrated from the kitchen to the bar, like balsamic reductions, house-fermented sodas and tinctures, truffle oil, and the like. The New American Cocktail is a beautiful development, but not at Thanksgiving.

On such a Norman Rockwell-esque holiday, the best way to get started is with an Old Fashioned. Most bar patrons may be familiar with this scenario: The barkeep opens up a packet of sugar (half of it spills on the bar), he muddles a maraschino cherry and an orange wedge, fills the glass with booze and bitters, adds ice, and maybe splashes it with club soda. The cocktail sits in front of you for a few minutes and suddenly you are left with a diluted mess of a beverage; the orange carcass is floating around, and you have maybe two small ice cubes left. I implore you, instead, to try the true Old Fashioned, which involves no muddling whatsoever. The beauty of the Old Fashioned cocktail is that it is actually a base formula that can be applied to quite a few liquors. Back in the late 1800s, a gent would walk into the bar and ask for a cocktail made in the Old Fashioned method: with water, bitters, sugar and a base spirit. The availability of certain spirits during this time dictated what the cocktail would contain (generally cognac, until that was unavailable, then rye whiskey). 14 words

LEISURE by stephanie zeilenga | photos by bill barrett IT WAS DURING EXTENDED TRIPS to Florence, Italy, that native St. Louisan Katie Lee found her passion for the delicious. “My mom ran the study abroad program for the Washington University Arts department, so I spent time there with her when I was in my early 20s,” Lee says. “Each region takes pride in a certain dish or ingredient, and I love that everything is fresh and made from only a few ingredients. It’s beautifully balanced.” Lee, who is a self-taught cook, has brought this philosophy to St. Louis through two restaurants, first Katie’s Pizzeria in Clayton, which she opened in 2008 with her father, Tom Lee, followed by a more recent venture, Katie’s Pizza & Pasta Osteria in Rock Hill, which she opened with new husband Ted Collier late last year. The split with her father was amicable, Lee says. “We get along even better now,” she says. “The good thing about opening the restaurant with my father when I was so young was that I had his support, and I was able to build the brand to the point that it was well-known enough for me to raise money and open my own restaurant.”

Success in the restaurant business is something of a Lee family tradition: Lee’s aunt, restaurateur Zoe Robinson, owns several local establishments, including I Fratellini, Bar Les Freres and Bobo Noodlehouse. “Everyone in my family is an entrepreneur,” Lee explains. “Starting our own businesses is just what we did.” Always wanting to follow in her aunt’s footsteps, Lee, who started working in restaurants as a teenager and wrote her first business plan for a restaurant when she was 20, never even considered not working in the restaurant industry. “It’s all I’ve done, and all I’ve ever wanted to do,” she says. But Lee’s professional career is attributable to more than family history: She also simply loves food. “I kind of have an obsession with food, learning about it and reading about it,” she says. To raise funds for the Rock Hill restaurant, Lee and Collier ran a Kickstarter campaign that exceeded their $40,000 fundraising goal. “We needed money, and I

thought it would be a great way to raise awareness of the restaurant,” Lee says. Donors were rewarded with gift certificates or parties valued at equal or greater than their pledged support, she notes. It was always a given that everything at Katie’s Pizza & Pasta would be homemade, Lee says. “We make everything in-house, including pizza dough, pastas, desserts and sauces,” she says. “We also have a big vegetable garden on our patio that provides some of our produce.” And she’s worked hard to make the restaurant’s ambience as pleasing as the menu of pizzas, pastas, salads and burratas. Pastas hang to dry, a living green wall provides fresh herbs, and the kitchen with a wood-burning oven is open to the dining room, she explains. Next, Lee hopes to sell her pastas and sauces in retail stores. “There’s a Lucky’s Market going in across the street from our restaurant, so the goal is to sell some of our pastas there,” she says.

STEPHANIE ROSE AND DR. JASTIN ANTISDEL

COVER STORY

TEAM APPROACH [SLUCARE PHYSICIAN GROUP by stephanie zeilenga It was just a routine eye exam. But the peripheral vision loss her eye doctor detected—too little for Stephanie Rose even to notice—concerned him enough to refer Rose to the emergency room. The vision loss was misdiagnosed and treated as a pituitary cyst, and Rose didn’t find out until seven years later that what she actually had was a pituitary adenoma, a benign tumor. That’s what brought her to the office of Dr. Jeroen Coppens, a SLUCare Physician Group neurosurgeon and assistant professor of neurosurgery at Saint Louis University. Coppens partnered with Dr. Jastin Antisdel, chief of SLUCare Physician Group’s division of rhinology, sinus and anterior skull base surgery program, to perform a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that involves entering the skull base through the nose. “SLUCare’s skull base program covers a wide range of pathologies, but we mainly deal with pituitary tumors and other rare forms of anterior skull base tumors,” Coppens says. “The goal of the surgery is to remove the tumor so it doesn’t grow back, and if the patient has had vision loss, we also make sure we take the tumor off the optic nerves so people can regain optimal vision.” A successful skull base surgery requires a team approach. “I make sure we preserve as much of the nasal function as possible, and Dr. Coppens then removes the tumor,” says Antisdel, who also is the director of the Saint Louis University Sinus Institute. “As far as having endoscopically trained neurosurgeons working in conjunction with trained rhinologists, SLUCare has more to offer than anyone else. We offer a high level of integrated care, and we do a lot of these surgeries.” Removing tumors endoscopically with a scope less than half a centimeter in diameter has major benefits for patients like Rose. “We used to have to split open the inside of the nose or go underneath the lip,” Antisdel says. This could cause significant nasal issues, including numbness in the face and a loss of the sense of smell, he adds. “With the endoscopic approach, we can check out our blind spots, look behind the carotid artery and make sure we remove the entire tumor,” Coppens says. And a less invasive surgery means a shorter recuperation time. “Patients leave the hospital on average two to five days after surgery,” Antisdel says. “The sense of smell returns to normal. With many of our patients, when they walk out of surgery you would never know by looking at them, because it’s all done on the inside.” Rose, whose procedure was successful, continues to see Dr. Coppens once a year for follow-up MRIs. “He makes sure everything is good and stable,” she says. “If the tumor comes back, he most likely will be able to use radiation to treat it. I probably will never need surgery again.”

EAR, NOSE & THROAT

BY SARA SAVAT

WE TEND TO TAKE OUR SENSES FOR GRANTED—UNTIL SOMETHING GOES WRONG. IF YOU’VE EVER HAD RINGING IN YOUR EARS, A STUFFY NOSE OR FLOATERS IN YOUR EYES, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KEEP YOUR FIVE SENSES IN TIP-TOP SHAPE.

SINUSITIS

Each year, more than 35 million Americans suffer from sinusitis—an inflammation or swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses. It’s a costly problem for the health care system, but now there’s a new, less-invasive procedure that is revolutionizing the way chronic sinusitis is treated.

COLDOR CONDITION? It can be difficult to differentiate between a common cold and sinusitis. The symptoms—nasal congestion, clear or discolored drainage from the nose or into the throat, postnasal drip, headaches and fatigue—are the same. But many with sinusitis experience facial or dental pain, and the duration is longer.

WHAT IS IT?

Acute sinusitis, also called rhinosinusitis, is most often caused by an upper respiratory virus, says Dr. John Schneider, assistant professor at Washington University School of Medicine. “The nasal and sinus linings become inflamed trying to fight off the virus,” he says. “If symptoms last more than 10 days, then we call that post-viral sinusitis. Very rarely will a bacterial infection cause sinusitis.” According to Schneider, doctors do not know exactly why inflammation does not go down for some people, but it may be that they’re genetically more susceptible to chronic inflammation or their immune system works differently. Structural abnormalities or nasal polyps (small growths in the lining of the nose) also may be to blame. “Colds and allergic reactions can cause swelling that blocks the openings between your sinuses and your nose,” says Dr. James Gould, medical director of the St. Louis Sinus Center. “For patients who have abnormally narrow sinus cavities—either from birth or trauma—once these openings become blocked, they will not fully open up again and the mucous cannot be secreted, leading to a vicious cycle.”

A NEW OPTION TREATMENT

Acute sinusitis is any sinus infection that lasts up to four weeks. Gould says when symptoms get worse or do not improve after 10 to 14 days, antibiotics may be appropriate. Schneider recommends waiting four weeks before starting antibiotics. “It is very rare for people to get a bacterial sinusitis that needs antibiotics,” he says. “Most of the time a virus is to blame for your symptoms.” He normally suggests topical or oral steroids, as well as nasal saline irrigation.

Gould cautions that symptoms alone do not make for a reliable diagnosis. “In my office, we do a nasal endoscopy to evaluate the status of the nasal cavity, perform a CT scan test to assess the degree of infection, and test for allergies.” Surgery can’t remove inflammation, but it can open the sinus cavities to drain and allow anti-inflammatory medications to reach the tissues, Schneider says. Sinusitis traditionally has been treated with endoscopic surgery, but a new procedure, balloon sinus dilation, can reverse symptoms with no cutting and little down time.

“A wand is inserted into the nose and then into the opening of the narrowed or blocked sinuses,” Gould explains. “On the tip of the wand, a balloon is gently inflated inside the sinus cavity to reestablish normal ventilation. The procedure is very much like an angioplasty in cardiology, but we do not put in a stent.” Gould, who coauthored a paper on the procedure, says multiple studies have shown that balloon sinus dilation offers great long-term results. In one, 95 percent of participants returned to work within 24 to 48 hours.

phantom noises

More than 50 million Americans are robbed of silence by tinnitus, a sensation of ringing or other noises in the ears. Only about 5 percent of those will seek out medical help, though.

ABOUT TINNITUS Tinnitus is the perception of sound when no external source is present, explains Tina McWhorter, an audiologist at Associated Hearing Professionals. “Patients will describe ringing, swishing, crickets, frying noise or high-pitched squeal,” she says. “It can be a life-altering issue, affecting sleep, temperament and relationships.” There are two types: subjective or nonpulsatile tinnitus, which are sounds only you can hear; and objective tinnitus, which are head or ear noises audible to other people. Some experience a sound that beats in time with the pulse, known as pulsatile tinnitus. But the vast majority of tinnitus cases—about 90 percent—are nonpulsatile, according to Dr. Anthony Mikulec, SLUCare otolaryngologist. Mikulec says tinnitus is usually a symptom of another problem, most commonly hearing loss. “When the brain doesn’t get the input it’s used to, sometimes it makes up for it with a buzzing sound—like a radio between stations,” he says. Long-term exposure to excessively loud noise, like working in an industrial setting or

serving in the military, or a single, intense blast such as a gunshot, can be a trigger, McWhorter says. Other potential causes include physical trauma to the head or neck; medical conditions like hypertension, acoustic neuroma, thyroid or vascular disease, Meniere’s disease and impacted cerumen; and certain drugs. The best way to prevent tinnitus is to protect your ears. McWhorter recommends ear coverings when working around loud noises—not just in a factory, but also around construction and even power tools and yard equipment. Protection against hearing loss at loud concerts, firing ranges and when listening to your MP3 player is also advised. “A temporary ringing in your ear is a sign that damage has been done to the hair cells in inner cochlea,” Mikulec says. TREATMENT OPTIONS According to Mikulec, no treatment on the market has been found to work or has the backing of the FDA. The best option is treating the underlying condition. “By far, the most important thing is to get your hearing checked. A hearing aid often can

Ask the Expert

help tinnitus, similar to how eyeglasses can treat blurry vision. At night, many people use a fan or sound machine,” Mikulec says. McWhorter recommends avoiding aspirin, if possible, and using quinine, which some take for leg cramps (it’s also found in tonic water). Dietary changes, such as salt restriction, may help tinnitus, too. “Some patients find relief by listening to specific sounds in the affected ear, with counseling or with medication and stress reduction. Clinical masking devices introduce a broadband sound that can ‘mask’ out the annoying tinnitus,” McWhorter says. Some patients simply adapt to their tinnitus and it becomes less bothersome over time. But for patients with severe tinnitus, depression and anxiety are common. McWhorter says these patients may benefit from professional counseling and medication. “Biofeedback and other relaxation techniques are helpful, as tinnitus not only can cause stress but also can be aggravated by stress,” she says.

The term “dry eye” is frequently used to describe any form of ocular surface disease that causes discomfort. Less than 5% of patients given the diagnosis of dry eye are actually not making enough tears. The majority of patients have some other form of ocular surface disease, such as ocular rosacea, medication toxicity or exposure. Some even have neuropathic pain. Patients who complain of excessive tearing (tears running down their face) do not have dry eye, but some other form of ocular surface irritation. Many forms of dry eye are more common in women, and all are worse in dry climates. Any task that reduces blinking, such as reading or computer use, will aggravate all forms of dry eye. Dry eye can also be worsened by a number of systemic medications, including decongestants, tranquilizers and anti-depressants. People with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may also develop dry eye. In Sjogren’s syndrome, the disease attacks the body’s tear and salivary glands, causing dry eye and dry mouth. A complete physical examination may diagnose any underlying diseases. Artificial tears, which lubricate the eye, are the first line therapy for many forms of dry eye. They provide symptomatic relief, but do not treat the underlying problem. Artificial tears are available over-the-counter as eye drops. Sterile lubricating ointments are sometimes used at night. Using humidifiers, wearing wrap-around glasses when outside, and avoiding windy and dry conditions may also bring relief. For people with severe cases of dry eye, temporary or permanent closure of the puncta (small opening at the inner corner of the eyelid where tears drain from the eye) may be helpful. The first step in determining treatment is a thorough examination of the eye lids, conjunctiva and cornea. This evaluation will reveal the true source of ocular discomfort.

GET THE[ROSAMUND LOOK PIKE by marylyn simpson WHETHER SHE’S PLAYING an ice queen who’s hotter than hell or a pedigreed yet conniving Midwestern wife, Rosamund Pike’s red carpet style is every bit sophisticated Hollywood glamour. At the New York City premiere of Gone Girl, the pleasantly pregnant star was glowing—and not just because of her latest curve. Simple and chic, recreating Pike’s signature style takes little more than the right shade of rouge, perfectly coifed locks and a killer attitude.

HAIR

| Start with clean, damp hair. Spray NORMANT STYLING SPRAY, or a similar product, from root to tip. Create a center part and thoroughly blow-dry your hair.

2| 3|

Section off the front and divide the rest of your hair in three horizontal ponytails. Twist and pin the three mini ponytails into messy buns. Next, focus on the front section and comb it back with a fine-toothed comb, creating a slick and smooth aesthetic. Pin back into the messy buns for a seamless transition. Complete Pike’s ’do with LEONOR GREYL’S LIGHT TO MEDIUM-HOLD HAIR SPRAY or a similar product to hold hair in place.

MAKEUP | A bit unorthodox, start by mixing TOM FORD’S TRACELESS FOUNDATION with GIORGIO ARMANI’S LUMINOUS SILK FOUNDATION, using a damp makeup sponge. Take a clean sponge and blend the foundation in an outward motion, starting in the center of your face and working your way out.

2 | Using one of the best concealers on the market, CLE DE PEAU, repeat the same process as with your

foundation by mixing the concealer with another HD concealer. It will cover up even the most dramatic undereye circles while adding a brightness that replicates Pike’s natural glow.

3 | Apply an all-over face powder to help set the liquid foundation. You can use your go-to mineral powder; I prefer BARE MINERALS for its translucent appearance on the skin.

4 | Now that your base is set, add a little color with Sisley’s PHYTO-TOUCHE ILLUSION D’ÉTÉ BRONZER. To get the most natural look, focus on your cheekbones, forehead and neckline—places where the sun would bronze your face naturally.

5 | Finish your face with PHYSICIANS FORMULA NUDE WEAR GLOWING NUDE BLUSH in Rose to get Pike’s radiant cheeks. 6 | Define your eyes with Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kohl Kajal Eyeliner Trio in Warm Nude. Using a heavy hand,

apply the liner on the top lid. Next, use a cream eyeshadow to smudge the liner for a softening effect. Apply a layer of liner to the lower lid and complete the look with two coats of jet black, lash-lengthening mascara. Try MAKEUP PROFESSIONALS MASCARA for a faux lash look.

Inject some style into your Festival of Lights. Crate & Barrel offers fun and festive settings with C&B’s ‘Candles’ table runner, Hanukkah plates and platter, and menorah napkins and napkin rings.

WINTER WINE

Throw an intimate holiday dinner party focused on wine pairings. Here wedding consultant Shayna Laiderman paired jewel-toned goblets and warm table settings from Pier One with bright arrangements from Artistry Florist and Event Design. A chalkboard lists the wine selections.

CHARGE IT

Chargers placed under china create a more finished and festive look. These 13-inch silver bead chargers from Pottery Barn provide a bit of sparkle and drama that can work for both formal and casual dinner parties.

This Thanksgiving table just screams fall with a pile of velvet pumpkins and harvest table settings. All from Christopher’s in Kirkwood.

‘Tis the season for entertaining family and friends, and ‘entertaining’ always includes eating. Let’s face it, holiday parties are all about the food. There’s nothing like gathering around a table for a festive meal with loved ones. Such a joyous time calls for something else special: dressing your table in holiday attire, too. Here are a few inspiring ideas.

let’s get comfortable >> CREATING WARM INDOOR SPACES WHEN IT’S COLD OUTSIDE

Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk besides the fire: it is the time for home.

I don’t know about you, but I love a rainy November Sunday. I like to light a fire and stretch out on the couch with a good book, or spend time in the kitchen cooking up comfort foods. Warm, dry and snug: for me, it’s pure luxury. What about you? Do you love a rainy Sunday too? Well, I’ve got a few ideas on how you can maximize the cozy factor in your home. These simple touches will make the indoors so inviting you’ll find yourself staying inside even when the sun is shining.

Cozy Up

It’s easy to transform your home as the seasons change by switching out the fabrics and textiles. I always knew colder weather was on the way when my grandmother replaced her sisal rugs with wool ones in the fall. You can warm up a room by changing window treatments and slip covers on your furniture to darker, richer colors and heavier fabrics. Adding a plush throw over a chair or a few soft pillows is a simple, inexpensive way to transform a room.

Shop your yard for bare branches, pine cones and evergreen boughs that you can use to scatter autumn around your home. Just by placing pine cones in a bowl, branches in a vase or evergreens on the mantel, you’ve created a heavenly vignette that keeps you connected with nature.

Flowering Bulbs

Another way to breathe life into your home this fall and winter is with flowering bulbs. Paperwhite narcissus is the most enjoyable flower to cultivate indoors during the cooler months. It can be grown in water, gravel, soil or sand. Plant three to four bulbs in a 6-inch pot with the pointed end facing up and just slightly exposed. Paperwhites like plenty of moisture and light, and a temperature of around 65 degrees. After planting, you’ll have lovely, delicate white flowers in about four to five weeks. Amaryllis bulbs also are great for growing indoors. Plant one bulb in a container with topsoil up to the shoulder of the bulb, and position it in a warm window. To keep the bulb from rotting, don’t water it until you see some growth. In about six weeks, you’ll have dramatic, colorful blooms.

[HOMEWORK: DEAR HOMEWORK,

I recently bought a home in Glendale and am not happy with the curb appeal. Because the garage is detached, the home appears stumpy to me. There is a very large tree in front, which I am not opposed to moving, if the city will allow it. Thanks for your Help, ——— STUMPED ON STUMPINESS

DEAR STUMPED ON STUMPINESS,

Your house features the simple, pragmatic architecture invented by our colonial ancestors to house themselves as economically as possible. While your home has a definite ‘cottage-y’ charm, it offers many possible upgrades to help temper its stumpiness. ———HOMEWORK BEFORE

SCHEME A

To make your residence seem better proportioned, we need to make it feel wider and taller. It can present itself as wider by taking better advantage of the full width of the lot. First, we need to remove the enormous tree that dwarfs the structure. Next, I would like to build a semi-circular, exposed aggregate entry walkway that draws the eye to the entire width of the property. By planting a low, formally clipped hedge that is finished off by tall Hornbeam trees, the property feels wider, framed and ‘more important.’ This scheme also shows some architectural upgrades. I have made the ground floor windows longer and have added a third, central dormer that is ‘connected’ to the existing two. This has the effect of making the home feel more two-storied, and thus taller.

Horstmann Brothers can provide a clean-up solution to your fallen fall color, call us today.

T&S HOME

SCHEME B

The residence could be made to feel even grander with the addition of a columned front porch, full-width terrace, and a wider, shed-roofed dormer. By including shutters on the second-floor windows and a new side fence with tall brick corner piers, the facade takes on a more elegant, Georgian feel, while again feeling both taller and wider.

SCHEME C

In this version, I actually make the house wider by adding a wrap-around porch. A bold, lantern cupola helps make the facade feel taller. Painting the brick white and adding dark green shutters gives the house an easy charm that suggests an informal landscape scheme, which can include the existing tree. Since the house is now wider and taller, it all seems better balanced, even with the tree. As you can see, your home is the simple background upon which many different looks can be created. Hopefully, these suggestions will help you see things from an energized perspective.
