I feel like I can’t write this without first acknowledging the Blues for their sweet, sweet victory! It’s been a week since our hometown team won the biggest game in hockey, but the city’s excitement surrounding the Stanley Cup is ongoing. I have a feeling we will be talking about it for quite a while. It was 52 years in the making after all. One of my initial thoughts after game seven was how the players felt physically. They had just endured months of grueling playoff games (after a full regular season nonetheless), and hockey is a sport where contact and fights are encouraged. Especially in each playoff series, the players got smashed against the boards every time they were anywhere near them, not to mention the sticks to the face, tripping, punches thrown, etc. After celebrating properly, do they just sit in ice baths for weeks on end? Get daily massages? Float a few times a week? While you and I might not be professional athletes, we still need to take care of ourselves, too. We have busy schedules, just of a different sort. And unless you recognize that you need to properly combat stress, lack of sleep, sun damage and aging, you’re going to look—and feel—like you just got smashed on the ice rink yourself. After a few years of telling myself I need to pay attention to my face as much as I do getting my toenails painted, I finally made an appointment for a consultation. I was so excited to start my treatments, which luckily weren’t any that required downtime. I’ve also purchased natural, result-producing skin care products, and I honestly can say I see a difference. Our health feature, Defy Aging, presents options to do just that. Local experts suggest ways to maintain a glow and stay mobile as you get older. Exercise is key, as we’ve noted in many features before this one. So check out what you need to be doing, make a plan, and stick to it. It seems that’s what the Blues did, and they got a pretty nice result.

some, for St. Louisans, it has a much different but equally distinguished connotation. For 45 years, the St. Louis Italian Open Golf Tournament for Children’s Charities has brought people together to support area kids in need. To date, the organization has raised and distributed more than $4 million to local nonprofits. The first Italian Open golf fundraiser in St. Louis was held in 1974. It was organized by a group of Italian-American businessmen who had attended a similar event in Milwaukee that benefited Boys Town of Italy. Inspired by the experience, they decided to use the format to raise money for local organizations that serve and support children. The tournament has come a long way since raising $4,000 its first year. Board president Dr. Carmen Castellano says the event usually brings in around $200,000, and in 2018, more than 200 golfers participated. “The event really has grown and evolved, but the dedication to supporting local kids has remained at its heart,” says Castellano, whose father participated in the inaugural tournament. “It’s always a really fun time and supports terrific causes.” The golf tournament benefits around 40 local charities. “There are some that we have partnered with for a long time, but our board members also regularly recommend new organizations to support,” Castellano says, adding that a charitable giving committee reviews each suggestion. “We want to ensure our donations make a significant impact.” Some of the groups that have benefited from the Italian Open include The Little Bit Foundation, Epworth Children and Family Services, Boys Hope Girls Hope, and the service dog nonprofit Duo. This past year, Castellano says the Italian Open also supported the development of a new Italian-inspired piazza on The Hill. Located across the street from St. Ambrose Church and School, the open-air gathering place will include chess tables, benches and a central fountain when it opens. Along with raising funds, the event recognizes individuals who have made an impact in the community. This year’s honorees are Dan Harbaugh, president of The Ronald McDonald House Charities of St. Louis, and Frank Viverito, president of the St. Louis Sports Commission. “They both mean a lot to St. Louis and have done important work to make the city a better place to live,” Castellano notes. The organization also supports local students with annual scholarships. The Tangaro Scholarship Award is presented to high school seniors who have distinguished themselves through achievements in athletics, academics and community service. The award is named after Joe Tangaro Sr., one of the Italian Open’s founders. The annual tournament kicks off Aug. 3 with cocktails and dinner at the Sheraton Westport Chalet Hotel. The evening also includes a program and silent and live auctions, including a fund-aneed campaign. “It’s a wonderful event,” Castellano says. “Dinner is an Italian feast, and everyone has a great time.” Golfers tee off Monday, Aug. 5, at The Legends Country Club in Eureka. The day concludes with a dinner banquet and awards ceremony. &

TALK OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.
LADUE 〉〉
Weeks before the stunning Stanley Cup triumph, Blues fever even infected Let Freedom Ring, the Harry Weber bronze of a man and little girl with hands over their hearts looking up to the flagpole in front of Ladue City Hall, where a ‘Let’s Go Blues’ banner hangs over the entry doors. The man has been wearing a Blues jersey—and Gloria is what we’ve named the little girl. Hallelujah! Consider that our once-hapless hockey team had made it to the finals three consecutive years, 1968-1970, right after the franchise was established in 1967. But they were swept, 4-0, all three years, back when they played in that big ol’ cow palace, the Checkerdome. (Because, Ralston Purina.) In 1994, Ralston let go of the reins, and it was renamed The St. Louis Arena, whereupon the hockey team moved to the brand-spanking new Kiel Center. Blues-bloods bellowed in frustration … until 2000, when the venue became Savvis Center. Lamentations continued to rattle the rafters until 2006, when Savvis execs were caught with their hands in the cookie jar (and using corporate credit cards in NYC-area strip clubs). So, the venue became Scottrade Center, until Enterprise took over last year. Now to Boston. The same year the Blues started skating in the Checkerdome, the Cardinals beat the Red Sox in the World Series. But four decades later, Beantown’s thugs swept the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series, then won in six games in 2013, whereupon drunken hooligans smashed auto glass near Fenway, overturning at least one vehicle. In 2007—40 years after the Blues came to The Lou to start driving us all mad—late Ladue mayor Edie Spink and husband John donated Let Freedom Ring to the city. Coincidence? If you knew Edie, well, of course not.
GRAND CENTER 〉〉
A stitch in time ... By late summer, The Lou will be poised for high-tech garment production if Evolution St. Louis has anything to say about it. In this context, ‘cutting edge’ is not cliché: A $5 million flat-bed knit manufacturing plant using 3-D and seamless-knitting technology is under construction at 3830 Washington Blvd. in Grand Center, just a couple of blocks west of The Sheldon. By the end of August, machinery will be installed—as many as 300 knitting machines in the next few years. Production is expected to begin later

choose the Gateway City over other metropolitan areas. “It’s a giant step forward in making St. Louis a fashion capital in the United States,” she says.
THE METRO 〉〉
Since severe weather has hit Missourians especially hard this year, the community has responded in myriad ways. Tornados are hard to prepare for, but swift response by the Red Cross is to be expected. Roast beef sandwiches, normally, are not. However, the Lion’s Choice food truck traveled from the metro to Jeff City to help feed residents and refuel relief workers in the aftermath of the May 23 tornado. Employees parked in the center of a devastated area to feed victims and anyone else working to pick up the pieces. Lion’s Choice could only make a dent, preparing and donating 331 sandwiches, fries and custard to more than 200 people. Company officials say community donations will be a monthly initiative. The truck could be plenty busy as the summer unfolds: Lion’s Choice, which also has donated sandwiches to flood victims, should have more than enough mouths to feed as flooding and cleanup continue in and around the area.
UNIVERSITY CITY 〉〉 this year. Evolution estimates 50 to 60 jobs will be created within the first three years, with more added as the company expands. Global market conditions, e.g., industrial restructuring and higher labor costs, have forced an unprecedented opportunity to bring apparel production back to the United States, the two co-founders say. John Elmuccio and Jon Lewis, both New York fashion execs, are confident the plant will revitalize the knit sector, strengthen ‘Made in the USA’ fashion, and create well-paying, sustainable manufacturing jobs here. Evolution will work with major brands, boutique designers and emerging, direct-to-consumer fashion entrepreneurs to help them move some of their production back to the states. They’ll help emerging brands and designers that often have difficulty sourcing overseas because they don’t have the ability to scale. Evolution already is in development with several companies, also working with retail, military, automotive and other industry sectors. The 32,000-square-foot building is the former site of an STL Venture Works business incubator; although the sign on the exterior brick wall is now Evolution’s, the decal inside a front window identifies it as a former property of the city’s Community Development Agency (CDA). The fledgling operation hearkens to the days when a garment industry district was humming along Washington Avenue, several miles to the east, before most shoe and clothing manufacturing went offshore. Susan Sherman, co-founder of the Saint Louis Fashion Fund (at 1533 Washington Ave.), is exultant. Evolution’s co-founders credit her with some creative ‘arm twisting’—Sherman helped persuade them to

TOWN TALK
LAFAYETTE SQUARE 〉〉
Few neighborhoods boast as many beautiful vintage homes and commercial buildings as Lafayette Square. And no neighborhood store in the metro offers a better mix of unique, handcrafted items than Looking Glass Designs, just catty-corner from the park at 1917 Park Ave. Owner Angela Heugatter makes about 70 percent of the inventory: Baby clothing fashioned from grandmother’s pillowcase or daddy’s well-worn shirt, laser-etched wine glasses (and bottles, full or empty), one-of-a-kind cutting boards. Say you want a few, or a few dozen, names from the family tree etched into wood? Perhaps Bruce Sutter, Yadier Molina, Lou Brock, Ozzie, Stan Musial et al. carved into a distinctive Redbirds outline? She can do it. How about those Blues (!!!), their names within our town’s suddenly worldfamous musical note? Of course! There are hand towels monogrammed with a fleur-de-lis (or ‘your initials here’), serving trays featuring the Arch and downtown skyline, slate plaques with sayings that sound familiar, but chances are Heugatter made them up: “Man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes
he has to eat them.” Try a pillow or cork coaster with “Home wasn’t built in a day.” Heugatter has creativity to burn. Some of it’s hereditary: Her father was a prominent Houston journalist. But the rest is all her. She taught technical writing to engineering students at Washington U. for 18 years. OK, what about some of the other stuff that will keep you browsing for way
longer than you had planned? There’s jewelry from local artisans and baskets from third-world countries that support craftsmen (and women) there. Heugatter opened the store in 2008, 20 years after she and her family moved to the metro, at first living ‘out’ in Creve Coeur and Kirkwood. Then, Lafayette Square had the Heugatters at ‘hello,’ and it’s since been Wonderland for the family. That’s perfect for a woman who feels that much of her shop’s raison d’être is the community itself. She spent 125-plus hours designing the neighborhoodthemed artwork on a pillow that we observed a local customer select. Want it on a small handbag, instead? A tray? Just ask. But going online to find a particular item can be frustrating, on either side of the Looking Glass. “So much here is one of a kind,” Heugatter says. “I learned from my engineering students that if it doesn’t work, change it!” With so much e-commerce, her store thrives through relationships. Oh, and where’d you go to high school? Heugatter answers that question on a cutting board: Within a fleur-de-lis is every metro public and private school you can think of, from MICDS to Soldan. &

PATTY by patty hannum I’VE WATCHED ENOUGH Dateline and 48 Hours Mystery to know a good plan from a bad plan, and my family’s plan to kill me was pretty solid. It was a smart group conspiring against me that included a Ph.D., Harvard and Wharton MBAs, a Washington University mechanical engineer, a CPA ... well, you get where this is going. Every one of these people might be able to get away with murder. The first sign something was wrong was my boat assignment. My family recently gathered in New Orleans to celebrate my daughter’s graduation from Tulane. My niece thought it would be fun to do our own private swamp tour instead of the typical airboat one. If you book your own, you can have a beer or two as you enjoy the landscape and critters along the way. My niece decided there would be a ‘young’ boat and an ‘old’ boat. I would be on the latter. I was stunned by this assignment as I consider myself young, but I didn’t protest given the group’s demographics and her likely desire to pay me back for her years at the kids’ table for Christmas. The second sign something was afoot was our boat captain’s lack of concern about safety. There was no discussion about life jackets, just a comment to stand up if you fell overboard because the water in most places was just 4 or 5 feet deep. I have to admit, I wasn’t too concerned after spending so much time in the Florida Keys, where the water depth is similar. The third sign: I didn’t see any of the stuff everyone else saw. The captain pointed out birds, a bald eagle, some stuff in the water, things that jumped out of the water. I pretended to see them; I mean, I even wore my glasses, but I was always a second too late. All I saw was swampy water and mossy trees, and I spent a lot of time wondering if I could survive more than 5 minutes on an episode of Naked and Afraid. The fourth sign of something being wrong was the sudden appearance of alligators everywhere. It was as if the sound of the boats’ motors called them. Well, that and the fish dangling from the lines off the boat. The first alligator to appear was about 5 feet long. Alligators are an unattractive species. Trying to act like a considerate conservationist, I asked our captain what alligators were good for, assuming he would say something about the ecosystem. His answer: “Nothing I can think of.” The 5-foot alligator brought a few of his friends along. They were much smaller, but next thing you know, our boats were surrounded by sharks, I mean alligators. It was entertaining watching them, yet a little scary. And then my family put their plan in motion. The captain asked me to move from where I was sitting so he could grab a bottle of water. Little did I know he also was going to grab a fake alligator head, which he thrust toward me. Every action has an overreaction in my case, and as I barrel-rolled toward the front end of the boat, I realized I was gator meat if I continued to roll and landed in the swamp. Needless to say, their plan failed, but it was good to hear from each of them, “No way would I have gone in to grab you!”’ I’m still not sure if they had to pay the boat captain since the plan didn’t work.

BASEBALL 〉〉
The last game of any sport in the state was the Missouri State High School Activities Association Class 5 championship game. This year, it involved a pair of area teams with DE SMET prevailing over MARQUETTE 6-4 at Car Shield Field in O’Fallon.

Tennis was one of the sports that had an all-area state championship match as JOHN BURROUGHS defended its Class 1 team championship with a 5-2 victory over MICDS at the Cooper Tennis Complex in Springfield. The Bombers, who had an 18-1 overall record, did not lose a game in the post-season entering the title match with consecutive 5-0 wins in the playoffs against DuBourg in the sectional round, St. Pius in the quarterfinals and Pembroke Hill in the semifinals. MICDS was just as dominant, winning 5-0 matches against St. Dominic in the sectionals, Helias in the quarterfinals and Thomas Jefferson in the semifinals. ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY HIGH had its first final four appearance in 13 years in the Class 2 team tournament. The Junior Bills defeated Oakville 5-0 in the sectionals and had a 5-1 win over Marquette to earn the trip to the state tournament, where they had a huge 5-3 win over Rockhurst. SLUH trailed 2-1 after doubles but shined in singles with four wins, three by freshmen (Gus Tettamble, Nick Fischer and Henry Dowd). Sophomore Leo Da Silva had the other singles win against the Hawklets. SLUH would fall in the championship match to Rock Bridge, 5-0. It was the fourth consecutive team championship for the Bruins, coached by Clayton graduate Ben Loeb. Area players also dominated the individual portion of the tournament. CBC senior A.J. Woodman, who won a state doubles title two years ago, added a Class 2 singles championship with a 6-3, 7-6 win over Jeremy Ouyang of Ladue in another all-area title match.
Logan Stevens of Pembroke Hill. PRIORY ’s Charles McEnery and Gary Gaertner and John Burroughs’ Adam Zhao and Thomas Dobbs also finished in the top 4 in Class 1 doubles.
DE SMET
That win capped an amazing turnaround for the Spartans, who started the post-season with a 9-13-1 record. The playoffs, though, were a completely different story for the team, which not only won six games in a row, but threw shutouts in four of them. The Spartans won the District 6 title without allowing one run, defeating Francis Howell North 3-0 and Parkway North 11-0. They made it three shutouts in a row with an 8-0 win over McCluer North in the sectional round and then beat a talented Rock Bridge team 3-2 in eight innings in the quarterfinals. Staley became another shutout victim of De Smet in the semifinals as the Spartans won 1-0 before claiming the championship. The state title is just the second in history for the Spartans (the first was in 2000), who were 6-11-1 at one time. It was also a special season for Marquette; the team advanced to the final four for the first time in state history. The Mustangs had a tough run to the final four. They needed nine innings and two days to defeat CBC 4-1 in the sectionals and then they won over defending champion Vianney 5-1 in the
quarterfinals. Marquette had a memorable first game in the final four as the team scored three runs with two outs in the seventh inning to defeat Willard 4-3 in the semifinals before losing to De Smet in the finals. Marquette finished with a 24-9 record. WESTMINSTER came within a game of giving the area another baseball championship. The Wildcats breezed to the Class 4 championship game with postseason wins against MICDS (12-0), Jennings (12-0), St. Dominic (14-3) and Savannah (10-0). But nothing went right in the title game as the Wildcats fell to St. Francis Borgia 13-1. Westminster finished with a 29-7 record. VALLEY PARK and WHITFIELD each won district titles in Class 3. Valley Park (17-7) lost to West County 11-10 in the sectional round while Whitfield (9-7) fell to Montgomery City 13-1 in its sectional game. There were plenty of individuals who were among the leaders in the entire St. Louis area. CBC ’s Colin Bergmann had 11 homers, which tied Jacob Hager of LUTHERAN SOUTH for the area lead. Jimmy Obertop of Westminster was second in the area in both RBIs (48) and slugging percentage (.965). Area pitchers shined with three in the top five in ERA: Vianney’s Nathan Beaton was second (0.57), Josh Abel of De Smet was fourth (0.78) and Zach Brasier of Westminster was fifth (0.94). Priory’s Mark Shallenberger had the best strikeout percentage (12.84 with 74 strikeouts in 40.3 innings), and Vianney’s Ryan Insco was first in saves with eight. His teammate, Beaton, was first in shutouts with four.
GIRLS SOCCER 〉〉
A pair of area teams reached the title game in soccer. NERINX HALL , which finished 18-4-2, had playoff wins against Eureka (2-1), Lindbergh (2-0) and Lee’s Summit West (3-2) before falling to Liberty 3-1 in the Class 4 championship game at Swope Soccer Village in Kansas City. It was the first final four appearance for the Markers since 2005 and their first title game win since 1994. Nerinx Hall’s only state title came in 1988. VISITATION made it to the championship game in Class 2 with wins over Trinity (3-2), Southern Boone (4-0) and Pembroke Hill (1-0). The Vivettes lost in the championship game to Cape Notre Dame 4-0. Visitation, which won the District 6 title over Orchard Farm 4-1, finished the season with an 18-5 record. ROSATI-KAIN was another area team with a district championship. The Kougars beat University City 6-2 in the District 4 title game. They defeated Roosevelt 10-0 in the sectionals before being eliminated by eventual champion Cape Notre Dame 4-0 in the quarterfinals. MAPLEWOOD won a district title in Class 1, defeating Metro 10-1 in the championship game. The

Devils lost in the sectional round to St. Vincent, 2-1. ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY and WESTMINSTER won Class 3 district championships. The Angels, who had a fantastic year with an 18-3 record, lost to Summit 1-0 in the sectional round. Summit reached the championship game in Class 3, losing to St. Dominic on penalty kicks. St. Joseph’s won its District 4 title game against Clayton 3-0. Westminster defeated Parkway Central 1-0 in the District 6 title game before losing to Incarnate Word 3-0 in the sectional round.

The Class 4 meet was one for the ages. Area teams swept the top four team positions. PARKWAY NORTH won, followed by WEBSTER GROVES , PARKWAY CENTRAL and MICDS . Parkway North’s Alicia Burnett won both the 100 and 200, breaking a state record with a time of 11.58 in the 100. Parkway Central’s Kayelyn Tate was second in both races. Parkway North also won the 4x200 and 4x400 and was second in the 4x800. Webster Groves had three individual state champions: Angelina Arinze won the 300-meter hurdles, Nia Lyles won the shot put, and Eliza Maupin won the high jump. LADUE ’s Lila Bensky was yet another area state champion in Class 4 for the 1,600. NERINX HALL ’s Courtney Williams had an outstanding state meet in Class 5. She won the 400 (54.87), placed second in the 100 and got third in the 200. LAFAYETTE was the only area team in the top 10. The Lancers finished eighth and were led by Elizabeth Schilling who was second in the long jump and third in the pole vault. Madison Fuller of JOHN BURROUGHS made her last high school appearance a memorable one. She led the Bombers to a second-place team finish in Class 3 by winning the 100 (11.82), 200 (24.03) and 400 (55.95). While Fuller dominated in the sprints, Kylie Goldfard of MICDS did extremely well in the distance events, winning both the 800 (by .02 of a second over Mercedes Schroer of Christian with a time of 2:20.62) and the 1,600 (5:14.02). In Class 2, PRINCIPIA ’s Busiwa Asinga won the 100 (12.00) and the 300 hurdles (in a Class 2 record time of 43.32). She also finished second in the 200. Principia had the top team finish at eighth place. CROSSROADS’ McKinlee Morris won the shot put with a toss of 42-1.
BOYS GOLF 〉〉
No area team or individual won in golf this year, although in many cases, it was a close fight to the finish. Area teams placed second in Class 2, 3 and 4. WHITFIELD was second in Class 2. The Warriors finished with a two-day score of 686, which was eight strokes behind champion St. Pius X of Kansas City. Whitfield’s Drew Newlin was third individually, three strokes behind champion Cole Elling of St. Pius X. MAPLEWOOD ’s Kal Kolar was fourth. MICDS was a distant second for Class 3 with a score of 633. Pembroke Hill won with 614. JOHN BURROUGHS was fourth, and PRIORY sixth. Henry Mikula of MICDS had the best area score with 148 for two days, only two points behind champion Ryan Lee of Pembroke Hill. The closest competition was in Class 4. Jackson High School won at 611. CHAMINADE was just two strokes back at 613, MARQUETTE finished third and LAFAYETTE fifth. Marquette’s John Cronin was second individually with a score of 148, and Glendale High School’s Dawson Meek won with 146. Chaminade’s Josh Heidenry and Ryan Walsh and Lafayette’s Maxwell Kreikemeier all tied for third with 149.
LACROSSE 〉〉
There were no area team champions but plenty of noteworthy individual performances this spring in boys track. KIRKWOOD ’s Christian Baker and MICDS ’ Joshua Sutton each won a pair of individual races at state. Baker won the 1,600 (4:13.03) and the 3,200 (9:16..34) in Class 5. He also ran a leg on the Pioneer 4x800-meter relay team, which finished first at 7:43.68. Sutton won both the 100 (10.85) and 200 (21.85) in Class 4. Kirkwood had the best area finish in Class 5, finishing sixth. LAFAYETTE was 10th. SLUH ’s Lazarus Williams was the other area champion in Class 5, winning the 800 (1:53.29). SLUH also finished second to Kirkwood in the 4x800.

MICDS continued its dominance with yet another Missouri Scholastic Lacrosse Association title. It was the sixth in a row for the Rams, who have a streak of 92 consecutive wins against area teams. Their last loss against a St. Louis team was April 10, 2014, against CBC. The title match was no contest as the Spartans defeated De Smet 15-1. Graham Bundy Jr., a Georgetown recruit, scored in the first 11 seconds of the championship game. He had five of his six goals in the first half. MICDS led 7-0 after 12 minutes and 10-1 at halftime. Boston University signee Thomas Niedringhaus had four goals in the title game and Henry Carpenter, who is going to Penn State, had three goals and four assists. PARKWAY WEST defeated Westminster 6-5 to win the Show Me Cup title, the first title for the Longhorns since winning the Division II state title in 2015. The team finished 10-7. St. Joseph’s Academy lost to ROCKWOOD SUMMIT 9-6 in the championship game in the MSLA

JOHN BURROUGHS
LADUE had the best team finish in Class 4 at fourth. The strength for the Rams was in the relays; they were state champs in the 4x100 and 4x400 and third in the 4x200. It was another brilliant state meet for Malik Stewart of MAPLEWOOD . He won the 800 by .08 of a second (1:57.84), was second in the 1,600 and was a part of the Devil’s 4x400 relay team, which finished third. Maplewood finished fourth as a team in Class 3. PRINCIPIA ’s Nathan Babcock had both an individual and relay team title. He won the 800 by more than 3 seconds (1:57.71) and teamed with Bramwell Havi, Kyedence Jordan and Stevie Keyes to win the 4x800. Principia finished fourth as a team, just 17 points behind Class 2 champion Monroe City. & JUNE 19, 2019 | townandstyle.com

on i t i d e ➊
1. My most recognizable style elements I must have been an 18th-century man in a past life; jabots, ruffles, bows and court shoes are all me. I also love a dramatic sleeve. And I’m having a headband moment right now.
➋
2. A few of my favorite things I enjoy beautifully embellished, architectural pieces of clothing and gravitate toward British brands like Simone Rocha and Japanese ones like Sacai. La Mer and Vintner’s Daughter are my skin care staples. And I’m never seen without my signature red lip; Tom Ford is my go-to brand. 3. My personal routine I’m trying to experiment with beauty products more. Until a year ago, I actually washed my face with hand soap! Luckily, I inherited good skin, but I need to take better care of it.
➌
4. How fashion intersects with art Clothing is art. Even high-street and fast fashion are forms of personal expression. We all wake up and think about what to put on, and clothes say a lot about who we are and want to be. What’s most interesting is how cyclical fashion is. 5. Colors and textures that speak to me I love all colors and prints, but I also like to do black from head to toe. Silk organza and gazar (a smooth silk or wool fabric) are my favorites, along with neoprene. It’s all about structure.
➏
6. Styles that make me happy I’m comfortable in anything from the ‘60s. I love the silhouettes and the whimsy.
➎
7. What makes the StL fashionable The startup community has created a wonderful, innovative spirit here. As someone who has championed a local fashion ecosystem for years, it’s exciting to see how far we’ve come. We have very stylish people in St. Louis, with a sophistication that rivals bigger cities—and luckily, they like to shop!
AN
9. My top dinner picks I typically will eat Mexican food anywhere— it’s my favorite. Also, Brasserie by Niche never disappoints. And Zoe Robinson has brought some of the best, most stylish dining options to St. Louis (Billie | Jean, Bar les Freres, I Fratellini).

ENTREPRENEUR AND STYLE-SETTER, Beasley-Jolly has art and fashion woven into her DNA. The St. Louis native’s early career included stints at Saks Fifth Avenue and major art museums, and she now owns an eponymous creative and marketing consulting firm. Along with pal Susan Sherman, she co-founded the St. Louis Fashion Fund, which promotes fashion education and helps designers get on the style map. She studied art history as a Washington University undergrad and later earned a master’s degree in the same subject—an appropriate backdrop for a many-hued career. These collective experiences lend her a critical yet creative eye and put her in a unique position to influence the resurgence of fashion in the StL, which was known many years ago for its thriving garment district. Recently, Beasley-Jolly partnered with Sherman again for a new industry endeavor, MERCH, an experiential retail venture that brings global fashion, home and beauty brands to St. Louis through pop-up events at venues around town. “It’s all about the new, the novel and the next,” she says.
8. My go-to cultural experiences I love the Grand Center Arts District and its world-class organizations. I just joined the Opera Theatre of St. Louis board and was a singer myself many moons ago. I enjoy trying new restaurants and attending art openings and fashion events. Traveling is a passion; I’ve lived in Europe and Asia, and my happy places are Paris, Bali and anywhere in Italy. Next up are Cartagena and Dubai.
➓
❾
10. Where I shop and relax Buying gifts at Lusso in Clayton is always a treat. My relaxation is a weekly massage at Stonewater Spa in Plaza Frontenac. 11. Where you’ll find me on the weekends I’ll be at the opera or the gym, attending one of my son’s many athletic events, or enjoying a fun night out with my husband or friends. I love all of the new rooftop bar options in St. Louis. JUNE 19, 2019 | townandstyle.com

COVER STORY
FAMILY PROJECT
TOPTON WAY CONDOMINIUMS by julia m. johnson ACCORDING TO THE MEHLMAN FAMILY, luxury should be just as easy to find
in a condominium complex as in a single-family home. And if it’s not available, they’ll build it! As owners of two residential real estate development companies, they have been serving the Clayton community for more than 40 years and currently are working on a joint project, The Pearl Condominiums. Husband and wife Mark and Debi own Mark S. Mehlman Condos, and sons Blair and Scott own Mehlman Brothers Condos. They are developing the new property under the ownership group Topton Way Condominiums. Construction has begun on the two buildings on Topton Way just south of Maryland Avenue, each to include nine two- and three-bedroom condos ranging in size from 1,800 to 3,600 square feet. The price point is between $850,000 and $1.7 million, and completion is set for late 2020. “Twelve of the 18 units sold before construction began, which speaks to the pent-up demand for luxury condos in Clayton,” Mark says. “It’s the first project of its kind to be built in the area in more than a decade, so current conditions are perfect for this type of development.” He says buyers will enjoy fine craftsmanship, high-end finishes, 10-foot ceilings, beautiful common areas, covered parking, great walkability and other attractive features. Larger units will include amenities like lofts and rooftop terraces. “People in the market for condominiums like these tend to be educated buyers,” Debi explains. “They are looking for a ‘lock the door and leave’ lifestyle that addresses their need for easy, worry-free, luxury living.” Another main attraction is The Pearl’s prime location near Shaw Park, Clayton High School, the Center of Clayton,

restaurants, shops and other services. Mark says it’s ideal for employees of Centene Corp., Enterprise Holdings and Caleres who want to live in the area. Blair adds that it was very important for the new property to meld with its surroundings. “We made sure the buildings fit the neighborhood in terms of architecture and appearance,” he notes. “We designed them to be beautiful and modern, but also to look as if they’ve been part of the area forever. That’s one of our trademarks.” The two companies have extensive experience developing luxury communities in the Clayton area, including The Crescent and several other midrise condominium projects. Scott says the family is always on the lookout for exciting new opportunities as well. “A development like The Pearl may open a door to our next project,” he notes. “We always stay in tune with what is happening in the area. The four of us bring different styles and perspectives to the table, but we combine them to reach one goal—building beautiful properties for clients. Our strong family bond is a testament that we know how to create lasting relationships.” &

IAN VANDAM OF TRULY FLORAL SPIRITS
APRONOMICS
by julia m. johnson | photos by bill barrett BUSINESS IS A FAMILY AFFAIR for beverage entrepreneur Ian VanDam, who originally considered a law career after graduating from college three years ago. At the time, his mother, Kelley Hall-Barr, was launching the Webster Groves home and gift store, Civil Alchemy, and VanDam pitched in on the effort. He enjoyed the venture so much that it caused a bit of a detour in his career path. “I wanted to help my mom get the store off the ground,” he says. “I ended up sticking around, and now, we have the store and a new company, Truly Floral Spirits, which makes floral-infused gin.” According to VanDam, the liquor business was a direct outgrowth of the retail one. His mom had been making small batches of infused gin to sell at Civil Alchemy, and customers were receptive, so they partnered with Distillery of Defiance to produce it on a larger scale. Truly Floral Blue Gin, their inaugural product, includes notes of violet, lavender, juniper, elderflower and other botanicals. It’s the first in a series of three and currently is sold at 45 restaurants, bars and stores in Kansas City, Columbia and St. Louis—including Civil Alchemy and the Frisco Barroom restaurant in Webster Groves, which Kelley owns with husband John Barr. Truly Floral Pink is set to debut soon with a different botanical recipe, this one including rose, geranium and hibiscus. The third gin will be unveiled later. VanDam says the intent is to bring fresh, versatile flavors to a variety of cocktails (serving suggestions are available at trulyfloral.com). Experimenting with different botanicals has been one of the most enjoyable parts of the process, he notes. “You really learn a lot about your original product when you’re developing the next one,” he says. “You may realize that it’s even more versatile than you imagined. The bright floral flavors play really well with taste profiles we wouldn’t have thought of, like bitter and citrus cocktails, gin fizzes and tropical recipes. It’s a lot like creating different aromas for coffees and figuring out which flavors go well together. It’s been fun to demystify what a floral gin can be.”

He says the family businesses are a good fit for his skills and interests because he’s had an affinity for the consumer trade since he was young. “Somehow, I’ve always felt emotionally attached to the retail concepts of yesteryear,” he explains. “I used to tell friends that my dream was to open a department store. I also worked in the restaurant and bar industry in college, so I knew that if my other career plans didn’t happen, I could fall back on this kind of thing and enjoy it.” Truly Floral also gives him a chance to further the environmental sustainability values that Civil Alchemy embodies. “One motive behind our companies is to create things that are functional and practical for everyday life,” he says. “That includes minimizing single-use plastics and other materials that are harmful to the environment.” VanDam says the beverage business continues to be a learning experience for him. “We recently went to the Ginworld festival here in St. Louis, and it was great exposure for Truly Floral,” he explains. “We met potential customers and got to see what other makers are doing in an engaging rather than competitive way. This is a friendly, creative, diverse industry. The greatest compliment we get is when people ask for more information about our products; it reaffirms that this is something worth doing.” These days, VanDam describes his life as a very fulfilling sort of busy. “It’s a blast,” he says of his work. “We have our hands full with the store and gin brand, but we also are looking at new products to develop.” He admits that familyrun businesses come with challenges, but he and his mom have the kind of relationship that makes it worthwhile and enjoyable. “Being a mother-son team means that we not only hold similar views and values but also can be ourselves,” he explains. “We like the same visual aesthetics, for example. And if we disagree on an idea and need to battle it out, we can do that without damaging our relationship. Having unconditional love and respect means we can argue but still get together for a nice dinner later on. It’s fun to work with family. It feels very natural.”

DEEP THOUGHTS by patty hannum
AN ENTERTAINING GUIDE TO ENTERTAINMENT
movie
all is true
Anyone who has wondered what really made William Shakespeare tick likely will view this film with interest. It’s a more personal look than we usually get into what his feelings and relationships might have been like. All Is True takes place in the latter part of the playwright’s life and stars Kenneth Branagh as Shakespeare and Judi Dench as his wife, Anne Hathaway. Branagh occupies the director’s chair as well. I’ve always considered him the quintessential Shakespearean film actor (Hamlet, Henry V, Much Ado About Nothing), so it was an interesting experience to see him actually play the Bard. He brings a natural sensitivity to the role that comes from years of embodying Shakespeare’s characters; there are few actors who could play him with such a thorough understanding of his soul. The makeup artists who helped transform Branagh also deserve some serious recognition. Probably the most stirring chapter in this otherwise quiet film is when Shakespeare finally opens up to his wife and daughter about the death of 11-year-old Hamnet, the couple’s son. While in other scenes, the bereaved father seems to avoid showing any emotion, here, he becomes so animated that the depth of his personal grief really hits home. If this film is part of a renewed sense of interest in the playwright’s life and work, I’m glad to see it. Shakespeare has something to teach everyone.

wholly unraveled: a memoir by keele burgin. This is a book
that you will read in one sitting, or in my case, during the long drive home from Florida. The author grew up in a family that belongs to a strict Catholic cult with nonsensical rules that, when broken, result in horrifying consequences. Once she leaves home for college, she finds herself doing anything and everything she couldn’t do before, which still leaves her in a place of unhappiness. She stumbles her way to a community in Canada and basically restarts her life. She is fearless and lacks any self-pity. It’s hard to believe this is her first book; the writing is outstanding.

a.p. bio. nbc. Warning: You need to watch a few episodes to warm
up to this show because some of the characters are downright awful. Jack, a Harvard-educated professor, finds himself teaching A.P. Bio in Toledo, Ohio, after his nemesis gets the job he wanted. Instead of teaching the students, he spends classroom time plotting against his enemies. As I watched the first episode, I kept saying the show was awful … while chuckling. Next thing I knew, I was looking forward to my weekly dose of sarcastic meanness. Not quite sure what this says about me, but perhaps knowing I am better than Jack keeps me watching.

SENIOR LIVING SPECIAL SECTION
COVER STORY
THE GATESWORTH by stephanie wallace
AS WE GET OLDER, IT CAN SEEM HARDER to get up and move, but staying
active is important for people of every age. For more than 30 years, The Gatesworth has provided innovative and exceptional retirement living through expert care, highquality amenities and personalized service, which includes an expansive fitness program to reach residents of all abilities. “You naturally lose muscle mass and flexibility with age,” fitness instructor Wendy Berk says. “Being active every day can help seniors address these concerns and maintain their ability to perform common tasks.” Berk, who has worked at The Gatesworth for six years, explains that the classes offered help residents preserve both their wellness and independence by building functional strength, balance and other important components of a healthy life. “I really admire the residents here,” she notes. “They want to increase their quality of life and are taking the steps to do it.” Berk originally came to the retirement living community as a favor for a friend. She led a class as a substitute instructor and enjoyed the experience so much, she decided to apply for a permanent position. Working with the residents is what she enjoys most about her job. “They are always excited about class and very pleasant to work with,” she notes. When The Gatesworth was looking to add a new, more rigorous course to its fitness program, Berk stepped up—in more ways than one! She developed the Step and Strength Class, which uses a step workout to offer cardiovascular exercise along with balance, strength and endurance training. To ensure the safety of participants, a ballet bar is on hand to offer extra stability if needed. The class was tested by a small group of active residents, and everyone enjoyed it. The original plan was to offer Step and Strength for a limited time, but after the six-week session was complete, it was added full time due to the overwhelmingly positive response. “I’m really glad they decided to keep the class,” notes resident Goldee Miller, who was part of the test group. “The Gatesworth management is very

accommodating. There is nothing they won’t do for you if you ask.” Miller says her favorite parts of the program are the vigorous exercises and the interactions with Berk. “Wendy makes it very interesting and fun,” she says. “It’s more of a workout than it looks like, but I always feel great after class.” She also enjoys getting to socialize with other residents. The chance to build relationships is an added perk due to the way the class is organized. Since there is limited space at the bar, classes are divided into groups. While one hits the steps, the other observes and has the opportunity to chat and catch up. “Everyone enjoys both the activity portion and getting to watch and talk,” Berk says. “It’s really an enjoyable class, and sometimes residents surprise themselves with what they can SE NIO R LIV ING accomplish.” & SPECI AL SECTI ON

Lemp plays duplicate bridge, a form of the game that is used in club and tournament circles. A retired attorney, she is the former president and a current board member of the nonprofit St. Louis Bridge Center in Olivette, which offers a variety of special events, competitions, seminars and classes. The center opened about seven years ago and already is one of the largest of its kind in the nation. It aims to help people of all backgrounds enjoy the game’s many mental and social benefits, Lemp explains.“No matter what else is going on in your life, bridge is a great escape,” she says. “When you’re spending three and a half hours at the card table, you have to focus completely on what you and your opponents are doing. When I first began playing, I was having some difficulties in my personal life, and the game provided a much-needed diversion.”
by julia m. johnson If you ask local bridge expert Ann Lemp how the card game benefits those who play, she’ll tell you that it strengthens mental focus and encourages strategic thinking. But she also will explain how it improves people’s lives in much deeper ways.

She says it’s a godsend for people who have lost a family member or suffered other setbacks that might isolate them. “The game encourages you to get out of the house, be with other people, make friends, follow rules and sharpen your thought processes,” she explains. “The bridge center is one big community of people who look out for each other. No one cares where you live or how much money you have; you’re accepted for who you are. It’s a very socially healthy experience.” Bridge also is a kind of universal language that unites people of different cultures,
according to Lemp. “You can go almost anywhere in the world and find a club to sit in with,” she says. “It’s like an instant community of friends.” The game is based on a set of 15 terms—the numbers 1 through , pass, double, redouble 7, the four suits and notrump—so it’s easy to grasp the logic of it wherever you play, she notes. Lemp says she first became involved with bridge in an offhand way, but once she really immersed herself, she quickly became a regular. “I had played some when I was in school and went to a novice competition with a friend in 2011,” she recalls. “We finished playing and went to get some wine. Then, they announced that our section had come in first. We were hooked.” She has some advice for those who think bridge sounds too strict or complex to be enjoyable. “You do have to concentrate and pay attention to the rules, but you certainly don’t have to be a math expert or the smartest person in the room,” she says. “Once you start playing, you get into the competitive spirit, and that helps you focus. The experience snowballs, and it really is enjoyable for people of different ages and skill levels. We have members who have been playing for years and others who are just learning. Right now, there is a 12-year-old member who is starting a club at her junior high school.” Lemp says the atmosphere at the St. Louis Bridge Center is warm and welcoming, it’s open daily, game fees are reasonable, and you don’t need a partner to play there. “If you don’t have one, we’ll find you one,” she notes. “We make the experience very userfriendly. I’ve found that no one who learns this game ever regrets it.”

From products like face masks and essences to ingredients like birch juice and snail mucin extract, beauty routines are getting their own international makeover. For the past couple of years, Korean skin care has been making a splash in the U.S., and Dr. Michele Koo, a plastic surgeon in private practice, says it’s not hard to see why. “There’s a much greater emphasis placed on skin care in Asian cultures,” she notes. “This is coupled with a deeper focus on biochemistry and physiological results.” Koo notes that while most western skin care focuses on a single active ingredient, such as retinol, K-beauty emphasizes how different ingredients can work together. “There’s an entourage effect to the whole skin care routine,” she says.
A great way to keep a youthful glow is to give your skin’s natural processes a helping hand, says Carol Anderson, RN, CANS, owner of Nouveau, a Boutique MedSpa. She recommends treatments that allow skin cells to maximize collagen production. “Elastin and collagen keep the skin young, but their production slows down as we age,” she explains. “The idea is to wake up the cells and help them perform.”
Koo notes that K-beauty is exemplified by adherence to a routine. The standard Korean skin care regimen is 10 steps (the average Japanese woman uses 23 products daily, she estimates), and while that may seem excessive to some, Koo says learning to maintain good habits is key to healthy, beautiful skin. “Traditionally, American consumers have wanted quick and easy solutions, but they’re learning rejuvenation starts with prevention,” she explains. “It’s part of a new emphasis on holistic health that is starting to resonate with major beauty lines.”
Treatments that impact cells’ production cycles include BBL (broadband light) lasers, radiofrequency and biostimulators, but this time of year, Anderson suggests microneedling. “With other procedures, you need to avoid sun exposure for a week or more because they damage the skin’s surface and increase risk related to UV exposure,” she says. “But after microneedling, you only need to limit your time in the sun for two days before resuming normal summer activities. Plus, you still get that natural, refreshed look.” The procedure works by using extremely fine needles to penetrate the deeper layers of the dermis. “It creates a little injury, which the cells then respond to,” Anderson explains. “The results are fewer fine lines and a smoother, more even complexion.” There is little discomfort associated with microneedling, and people can be back in makeup the next day. Along with the face, it can be done on the neck, chest, arms, legs and abdomen. JUNE 19, 2019 | townandstyle.com

BREAST REJUVENATION
Women have several options for giving their bust a more youthful appearance, according to Dr. Christina Plikaitis, a SLUCare plastic surgeon. She says the most common procedures are reduction, lift and augmentation. “I approach rejuvenation from the standpoint of the individual, how her breasts have aged and what they’ve been through,” she explains “It’s important that you feel comfortable with discussing your goals with your surgeon to determine the best course of action.” All three rejuvenation techniques can be performed as outpatient procedures. Most women are able to return to work a week after the surgery and to full activity in about a month. Plikaitis notes that with augmentation, it may take longer to return to strenuous activity, and implant maintenance may be required down the road. “Breast rejuvenation patients are some of my happiest,” she says. “These procedures are safe and women are very satisfied, especially when it’s paired with good preoperative counseling.” ❱❱ REDUCTION - Lifts and positions breasts for a more youthful appearance; can address neck, back and shoulder pain ❱❱ LIFT - Rejuvenates without changing the size of the breast; removes excess skin and moves the nipple into a more youthful position ❱❱ AUGMENTATION - Adds fullness; can be combined with a breast lift
SAGGY SKIN
The decrease in muscle mass and loss of collagen and elastin in the skin that come with age can lead to unsightly sagging in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks. While there are surgical options to address the problem, Dr. Richard Moore of The Lifestyle Center and The Edge for Men notes that there are less invasive alternatives. Radiofrequency treatments like Venus Legacy can firm and tighten the skin. “The procedure addresses issues with skin laxity,” Moore says, adding that it’s important to have realistic expectations. “The results will take time and may be subtle.” The best reason to consider Our Lady of Life is the warmth and friendliness of the people who live here. You’ll appreciate the excellent food, responsive staff, group transportation, and many cultural and fun opportunities, along with daily Mass on premise. Our Lady of Life

"I was getting tired of taking care of my house and yard. I knew eventually I’d have to move somewhere. I wanted it to be my decision and no one else’s, so I started looking at retirement communities. When I toured Our Lady of Life, I felt a real comfort level. It was not too big or small, the price was right, I liked the apartment and they have a Mass here every day and I really liked that. I have made a lot of new friends and there is always something going on at Our Lady of Life.” - Carol B
Radiofrequency works by applying heat to an area, kickstarting collagen production and other processes in skin cells. The length of treatment depends on the body part being treated, and Moore says it usually takes about six to 10 sessions over the course of around two months. There is no downtime with radiofrequency, and the only side effect is redness at the treatment site for 30 minutes to an hour afterward. “One benefit of radiofrequency is that it’s painless,” Moore notes. “Ultrasound can also be used to tighten skin, but it’s painful. There are a lot of those devices gathering dust in offices.”
UNWANTED FAT
“People may not think of liposuction as antiaging,
but it can help people look younger,” says Dr. Terry Myckatyn, a Washington University plastic surgeon. “As we age, our metabolism slows, and we develop stubborn pockets of fat that don’t go away with diet and exercise. Liposuction is an effective way to address those concerns.” The most commonly treated areas are the belly, flanks and back, but the arms, thighs and even double chins also are options. Myckatyn notes that liposuction is more effective than noninvasive alternatives, such as freezing fat. “Coolsculpting removes about 15 to 20 percent of fat, and it can take several months to see a result,” he says. “Liposuction removes about 50 to 60 percent of fat with immediate results.” He adds that it’s a fallacy to say noninvasive options are cheaper because they take more sessions to get comparable results. Liposuction can be done with or without anesthesia and requires a very small incision. Side effects include bruising and swelling, and patients wear a compression garment for two to three weeks to help contour and smooth the treated area. Myckatyn says many people are able to return to work within 48 hours and the gym after about a week. “The most important thing is for patients to have realistic expectations,” he says. “Liposuction won’t tighten up excess skin, and it should be used in combination with a healthy diet and exercise routine, not as a replacement.”

❱❱ FLEXIBILITY. Yoga helps balance both your body and mind, according to Emig. He also suggests using foam rollers on the IT band, quadriceps and back. ❱❱ BALANCE AND STABILITY. A BOSU—it stands for ‘Both Sides Up’—is basically half of a stability ball. “Periodically, all exercises can be done on a BOSU,” Emig says. “It promotes better balance by activating new neural pathways and also improves core strength.” ❱❱ STRENGTH TRAINING. Emig recommends heavy but controlled weight lifting. “It helps combat osteoporosis and slows down or even reverses sarcopenia (muscle loss with aging),” he explains. ❱❱ LOW-IMPACT AEROBIC ACTIVITY. As you get older, high-impact activity can have negative effects on joints, especially if arthritis is a problem. Emig suggests walking, swimming, biking or using the elliptical. ❱❱ LOWER BACK HEALTH. “Pain in this area is one of the biggest complaints for older adults,” Emig notes. “Giving proper attention to it can prevent or relieve discomfort.” Hyper-extensions and dead-lifts can help strengthen the back.
❱❱ SALMON. Fatty fish are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids. These antioxidants reduce inflammation and protect your skin against damage from free radicals.
How should your workout change as you get older? Eric Emig, co-founder of Evolution Fitness, says there are several concerns older adults should focus on to make the most of their fitness routines.
What you put in your mouth can impact your skin just as much as the moisturizers and toners you put on it. A proper diet can help you turn back the clock with vitamins, minerals and amino acids necessary to keep your skin healthy and beautiful.
❱❱ SOY. The isoflavones in soy have been shown to improve skin dryness and elasticity as well as reduce wrinkles. ❱❱ GREEN TEA. Catechins, a type of powerful antioxidants found in green tea and berries, protect your skin and reduce redness while also helping with hydration and elasticity. ❱❱ WALNUTS. They have omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamins E and C, protein and selenium, which are all nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy. ❱❱ AVOCADO. Containing beneficial fats and vitamins E and C, eating avocados is associated with supple skin and may even protect against UV damage from the sun. SOURCE: HEALTHLINE

from the homeowners » More than two decades of family memories have made this spacious house a warm and welcoming home, according to owner Mary Stieven. She and husband Joseph built the property in 1998 and raised six children in it; now, as grandparents, they are moving across town to be closer to them. “It’s been such a wonderful place to live,” Stieven says of the home. “It sits on almost 2 acres, so there is plenty of space for a family to enjoy themselves.”
How did you incorporate your personality into the home? I have an interior design background, and I love bold color. I like to put a twist on the traditional and add some fun sophistication. For example, we used wallpapers with metallic elements and colors like navy and chartreuse. But the next owners will have no trouble customizing the house to their own tastes. The moldings, light fixtures and other features are very classic and traditional.
What will you remember most about the house? I loved decorating the home for the holidays and having Christmas parties. We are very family-oriented, so we had lots of gatherings. It’s so open and spacious that you can entertain 150 guests without it seeming like there are that many people in the house.

HOMEWORK
DEAR HOMEWORK,
We plan to put a lime wash on our red bricks and perhaps change the shutter color to a sage green. What do you think of these changes, and what else would you suggest to pull our home together? Sincerely, —COLONIAL COLOR CHANGE
DEAR COLONIAL COLOR CHANGE,
When a home has large areas of both clapboard siding and natural brick, it can feel a bit like an unresolved composition of separate pieces. Making these separate elements the same (or similar) color usually brings a new unity to the overall presentation. In this case, the proposed lime wash on the existing brick will do exactly that. Beyond that, a number of small changes will add oomph to the façade. I would make several of the shutters wider on the larger windows. I also would add decorative heads and sills to the dormers, widen the window boxes and choose a more prominent coach lamp above the front door. I would paint the door a pale blue to complement the suggested sage green of the shutters. The biggest changes I’m suggesting are with the landscaping. Start with planting a 30-inch tall boxwood hedge at the curb. Additional hedges under the two main windows and upright evergreens at the corners of the façade frame the composition nicely. Large terracotta urns add impact to the front door. All of these changes give the house a more unified look, but your painting suggestions are the most important starting point. Thanks for asking, —HOMEWORK

WHAT ARE SOME SUMMER ESSENTIALS FOR DINING AL FRESCO?
When I’m setting the table, I use serving pieces that provide texture and depth, like chargers and decorative wooden trays beneath them. I also put items like napkin holders and salt and pepper shakers on small pedestals of different heights to create interest.
Fresh thoughts for outdoor dining spaces:
I recently held an outdoor party with a dessert station, and I labeled the desserts with standup chalkboard signs explaining what each one was. You also can arrange cookies and cupcakes with cute, welcoming signs that say, “Try me.” or “I’m sweet.” Even if you have a beverage bar, you can set up other tables like a sangria station with decorative pitchers and glasses. That way, guests can enjoy helping themselves. Laura Wilson Marketplace at the Abbey
3. Cozy front porch. Who says dinner can’t be at the front of the house? If you have space, set up a long wood table with matching chairs and decorate with country linens, traditional stoneware and sturdy serving pieces. Various plants in small pots can provide color and interest.
