editor’s note
operating rooms
I
come from a long line of do-it-yourselfers, but
I know my limits. When it comes to major projects, I turn to the experts as I did recently for a bathroom remodel with winning results. Fact is, renovations are all the rage and redo professionals are in big demand. Simply take a look out your window any weekday morning and you’ll likely witness a procession of white pickups moving down the street like a team of plastic surgeons preparing to transform their patient from sagging to sensational. Renovating seems to be enjoying a near-obsession status which makes me wonder: Has remodeling become today’s favorite facelift? I can count five homes on my street currently under the knife. All but one are experiencing major, multiple procedures—from the addition of a new guest-wing to a complete a basement-to-attic overhaul. For their fearlessness and deep pockets, the homeowners will be rewarded with the functional and stylish homes they’ve always wanted. With similar results in mind,
I’ve taken a less daring, room-by-room approach to updating my home. You know, a nip here and then a tuck there. This tactic allows me to time to recover from the disruption of each project while refilling my coffers. It also guarantees a future visit from my contractor because unfortunately, just like a freshly tightened face makes the neck look a little flabbier, a remodeled room amplifies the flaws of neighboring spaces. My renovated bathroom looks fantastic but the nearby kitchen and side entry now appear a touch tired. I guess my 87 year-old home will be subject to surgery for years to come. If you’re thinking about operating on your spaces, I hope this special remodeling issue inspires and encourages you. Creating it has certainly done so for me. Follow me on Instagram @brad_mee

When writer Jessica adams isn’t advising us about the latest runway trends for “Runways and Rooms” (page 26), she’s coordinating high fashion with haute home decor for our online readers every week. “It’s such a thrill to notice how often fashion design and home decor mimic each other. I love seeing my two favorite worlds collide.” And what does Adams foresee for chicly decorated spaces this spring? “Floral without end, beautiful brass and crisp white-on-white.”

Val rasmussen’s affinity for midcentury architecture began early in life. Vivid memories of chasing her siblings around the open floor plan of her architect grandfather’s mid-century home propelled her interest, as did the home’s floor-to-ceiling windows, perfect for a child whose love for the outdoors was as massive as the views. Now, with young kids of her own, she writes “New House, Old Tricks” (page 86) to tell the story of a 1951 Salt Lake home remodel that melds historical integrity with modern-day family functionality.

Lesli Sommerdorf has grappled with more than her share of kitchen gadgets. A graduate of the California Culinary Academy, former food editor, writer and restaurant reviewer for The Salt Lake Tribune and now resident chef at Sur La Table in SLC, she has chopped, peeled, diced and prepped using countless tools. Some she adores, others she abhors. Her fave: The StemGem by Chef’n. “It is my go-to for hulling and de-stemming strawberries and tomatoes,” she says. She also likes the 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer by OXO. “It does it all.” Sommerdorf gives nutmeg mills the thumbs down. “Most people use only one nutmeg in a year’s time, so why let a bunch of them go stale sitting in a grinder? One nutmeg and a microplane work just fine for me,” she says.

Before & After
second seating Designer Christa Pirl restores and reimagines antique seating, giving old pieces new life, modern flair and a special place in her clients’ homes. Antique lovers and recyclers alike adore Christa Pirl Furniture, the designer’s business specializing in restoring old chairs, sofas, settees and stools. “I do only seating pieces; there is something special about their designs and the interplay between frames and fabrics,” says Pirl, who hand selects and revives antique and vintage pieces prized for their quality and character or, when it comes to family heirlooms, for their sentimentality. A fresh finish, new fabric and the designer’s special touch give each piece a stylish second chance.
Christa Pirl’s
pointers for teaching old seats new tricks To judge a piece’s age, give it a lift. Older chairs are heavier than new. Look beneath. You want webbing, horsehair and wood joinery rather than modern acrylic foam and metal brackets-and-screw construction. Form and shape are the most important criteria in judging the appeal of an antique: “It’s the way the legs fall and the whole piece flows in a cohesive manner.”
A dark finish and bold fabric update a simple side chair.
Popular finishes for restored pieces include dark stains as well as matte and satin varnishes. Beware of polyurethane finishes as they are difficult to change. Check with a professional before refinishing a piece over 150 years old. You could devalue it.
A stained finish and new upholstery revives an outdated, painted arm chair.
An 1840s American Empire settee boasts a Greek key pattern fabric.
Look at the piece’s frame, lines, time period and decorative elements for inspiration when choosing a fabric. Consider traditional damask in an unexpected bright color when updating a classic frame. Choose abstract rather than realistic animal prints for a livable take on the trendy pattern. Select a black-and-white pattern to make a bold, classic statement. Geometric lattice patterns can make a piece pop with contemporary flair. Consider practicality when choosing fabrics. Outdoor are more kid- and pet-friendly than silks and other fine fabrics. Patterns also disguise soiling. Mixing old pieces with new can be challenging. Look at the whole room and balance the antique and contemporary seats being careful not to segregate them in clumps. Use identical or similar seat heights to unify dissimilar seating pieces, new and old, in a single space. Pass on restoring reproductions younger than 30 years. They lack the proper scale, refined details and elegance of line. Christa Pirl Furniture, SLC, christapirlfurniture.com

Supercharged Shortcakes Easy-to-make shortcake plays one of a plate’s best supporting roles. Whether it’s topped with savory or sweet, shortcake soaks up juices and amplifies flavors. by Mary Brown Malouf photos by Adam Finkle
Easy-as-Pie Shortcake Recipe 2 cups flour 4 tsp. baking powder 3/4 tsp. salt 1 Tbsp. sugar 2 Tbsp. butter, cut in chunks 2 Tbsp. shortening, chilled 3/4 cup half and half Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor. Pulse a few seconds until mixed. Add butter and shortening and pulse until mixture looks like cornmeal. Dump it in a mixing bowl and stir in the cream until a ball forms. Pat dough out 1/2” thick and cut with large biscuit cutter, or drop by large spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet, and then pat into shape. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

U T A H S T YLEANDDE S I G N . C O M
Classic Strawberry Shortcake Slice strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Let sit several hours. Add a touch of balsamic vinegar to enrich the flavor of early-season berries, spoon between shortbread layers and then on top. Finish with whipped cream.
Garden Shortcake Sauté roughly chopped red and yellow peppers, sliced zucchini and yellow squash, tomatoes and choice of herbs until vegetables are tender. Serve over shortcake and sprinkle with shredded parmesan or not.
Tuscan Shortcake Cook chopped onions slowly in butter and olive oil until caramelized. Add quartered mushrooms and cook until tender. Deglaze with a little balsamic vinegar and season with crushed rosemary. Serve on shortcake.
Tips: Never overwork the dough. Don’t knead it, pat it. Best to drop it on the baking sheet by spoonfuls, and then coax it gently into shape. Wait until shortcake is cool before splitting it. Otherwise, it’s apt to crumble. Use two forks to split a shortbread, instead of a knife. Let your imagination run wild with toppings— the only requirement is that your topping has enough juice for the shortbread to soak up. Serve immediately after topping.
Tropical Shortcake Sauté pineapple chunks in butter with brown sugar until fruit is tender. Add a shot of dark rum if you like, and a dash of vanilla. Serve on shortcake and garnish with toasted coconut.
What do you mean, “short”? Shortcake’s “short” dough is one that’s crumbly or mealy, the opposite of a “long” dough, meaning flaky, like pie crust. Both depend on solid fat—shortening or butter. For a short dough, cut the fat into the flour until it has a cornmeal-like texture. For a long dough, leave the butter lumps as large as peas.

ant to give your patios and porches a stylish lift? Think hanging baskets. Easy to create and maintain, these suspended container gardens put showy flowers and foliage at eye-level, creating floating focal points that brighten outdoor spaces all summer long. 1. Set the site Hanging baskets allow you to garden on a small scale with very big results. Determining the location of your hanging baskets helps you choose the proper container and plants as well. Consider the light, heat, sun, shade, wind and space the considered spot will provide before making a decision that will enable you to predict the amount of maintenance and watering that the planted basket will require.
2. Choose the container Hanging baskets come in an assortment of styles and sizes as well as materials ranging from wood and plastic to metal frames lined in moss or coco-fiber. “Wood can be heavy, making it a good choice for windy locations,” says Mary Jo Hartmann, Nursery Specialist at Cactus & Tropicals in Salt Lake City. Plastic, which is typically lighter, retains moisture well, requiring less watering. Hartmann adds, “Moss and fiber have a great natural look, but because they are more permeable and breathable, they dry out faster so they need more frequent watering.” The same is true of smaller and shallower containers.
Shapely Succulents Sedum (Purple Emperor) Sedum (Spirit) Sempervivum Aeonium (Sunburst) Kalanchoe (yellow and orange)
3. Prepare the soil Garden soil is a no-no. Hartmann suggests good quality potting soil augmented with water-retaining materials like peat moss as well as a slow-release fertilizer prior to planting. The fertilizer provides nutrients up to four months. “Late in the season and into fall, feed baskets with water-soluble fertilizer on a regular schedule to keep them going strong,” she advises.

in the garden h a n g i n g b a s k e t s 4. Select the plants Sun Lovers Sweet potato vine Licorice vine Creeping Jenny Vinca (pink) Verbena (Homestead purple) Bidens Calibrachoa Euphorbia (Diamond Frost)
Be careful to choose plants that thrive in the specific location and complement your outdoor décor. Also consider each plant’s color, texture, size and shape. “A basket of a single variety like bright impatiens or calibrachoa makes a strong focal point,” says Hartmann, who also likes using the foliage of plants like coleus, creeping jenny and assorted potato vines to add dazzling, non-blooming color. For nontraditional containers, herbs and succulents also provide interesting options, and fragrant bloomers like sweet alyssum are heady choices for hanging planters. Hartmann’s personal favorite? Hanging tuberous begonias. “I love their deep colors and unique foliage,” she says. Her least favorites include standard petunias—trailing petunias are better suited for baskets, she says—and Margarita potato vines. “Margaritas get too large and their tubers take too much room.” Whatever your choice, be adventurous. “Think beyond the obvious choices and have fun with it,” says Hartmann. “There are so many unexpected plants that can flourish in baskets.”
5. Hang wisely Determine the full weight of your planted, watered container when choosing the right hook and structure from which to hang it. Also consider accessibility to the container, as you will need to water it frequently and maintain the plants regularly.
6. Water, water, water If there’s a con to hanging containers, it’s the frequent watering required, especially during Utah’s dog days of summer. “Hanging baskets dry out quickly, and once they mature and become somewhat root-bound late in the summer, they have difficulty staying wet,” Hartmann says. She suggests watering during the mornings or evenings to lessen evaporation and to water regularly and thoroughly, making certain the soil is fully saturated. Use the basket’s weight as a watering gauge. “Lift the basket slightly before and after watering to enable you to predict when it needs to be watered.”
PLANTING POINTERS
Nursery specialist Mary Jo Hartmann’s tips for creating and maintaining beautiful hanging baskets. May 15th is typically the last frost date for Salt Lake City and first safe date to leave summer baskets hanging unprotected outdoors. Be prepared to bring them indoors if temperatures drop. Place taller plants in the center and trailing plants around the edge when planting baskets with mixed flowers and foliage.
44
U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M
Plant brighter plants in shaded baskets as darker colors and foliage fade into a dim backdrop. Give baskets a light shearing in August. The late summer clean up gives baskets a boost for early autumn beauty. Swap out tired plants with fresh replacements if necessary.
Establish soil edge a full inch below the edge of the water to enable thorough and deep watering.
Let the experts do the work. Select a new basket or bring yours in and Cactus & Tropicals will plant your container after discussing your wants and needs.
Planting densely creates instant drama but requires a keen eye on water needs as plants become root bound by mid-summer.

or an architect, each commission presents a distinct set of challenges, expectations and opportunities. This is certainly true when designing a church in which its spirit is as important as its structure. “While any space should have meaning, a religious space’s meaning is more apparent,” says John Sparano, who, along with Anne Mooney, designed the new Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church in West Jordan. Sparano and Mooney, principals of Sparano + Mooney Architecture in SLC, looked to the history of the church’s congregation for inspiration as they designed a replacement for the demolished 1965 building. Named for the patron saint of laborers, the Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church is located in a bluecollar neighborhood near the Bingham Canyon Copper Mine on the same site as the original built by the congregation’s craftsmen. “This was our guide,” says Mooney. “We wanted to honor the workers and the mining community.” With skill and artistry, the architects created a palette of raw materials and compelling structures to accomplish this objective. The new church is constructed from simple materials converted into extraordinary architectural elements. Rain screens of
Above: Replacing the original modest church built in 1965, the new church features copper, board-formed concrete, cedar, steel and other fundamental elements referencing the parish’s construction and mining history. Sustainable aspects of the building, its materials and construction allow the design to qualify for a LEED Silver certification.

horizontal, milled cedar boards and textured walls of cast-in-place, board-formed concrete define large portions of the shapely buildings. “Saw marks and knots embedded in the concrete reflect the hand of the craftsman transforming the material,” Mooney says. Throughout the project, copper panels, vertical grain fir boards, handcrafted wood elements and uniquely glazed glass—some with colored inlays—create memorable details. “In many places, we referenced sacred architecture like stained glass windows but reinterpreted it with a modern vocabulary,” Sparano says. The result is an intriguing representation of the traditional old formed by the innovative new, and it begins from the moment one enters the project. The church welcomes visitors from its landscaped parking lot into a circular courtyard, gracefully transporting them from the secular world into the peaceful, outdoor space. “It’s a matter of transition. We didn’t want guests to directly enter the church through a door,” Sparano says. From the courtyard, a large entry and gathering area welcomes parishioners with a roomy, low-ceilinged area that opens dramatically to the grand volume of the adjoining sanctuary. The architects enclosed this vast space with two offset ellipses—an inner and outer oval—that

create the illusion of poché or solid wall mass characteristic of historic sacred architecture. “Architecture should reflect traditions reinforced in modern ways,” Sparano says. The duo penetrated the curved walls with small, intimate chapels and high, deep-set colored apertures that accentuate the structure’s visually thick shell. As the sun moves across the sky, these colored windows fill the sanctuary with ever-changing, tinted light that creates “wow moments” throughout the day, says Mooney. Across the courtyard from the 800-seat sanctuary, the day chapel provides a smaller yet equally compelling space. Clad in wood, the intimate chapel features a skylight framing views of clouds as they float above the altar and stark interior. “We’re very attracted to simplicity,” says Sparano. “Here, it speaks to the infinite nature of this sacred space.” The vast project finishes with a wing housing administrative offices and a conference space. “The new church provides a place of stability and worship, a place for marriages, baptisms and funerals,” says Mooney. “It’s like designing a house for 1,000 families.” By marrying enlightened design to historical precedent, the architects created an extraordinary structure its parishioners will consider a spiritual home for many years to come.

hen homeowner and avid mountain biker Tom Stoltman purchased a two-story townhouse in Park City’s Trout Creek community, he was understandably hot on the nearby Spring Creek trailhead and the preserved wetlands adjoining the property. The home’s ornate Mediterranean style décor, however, left him cold. He imagined something more modern for the compact, 1,600 square-foot interior. Enter designer Jenny Samuelson who worked with Stoltman to transform the home with clean-lined style and a floor plan making the small interior live very big.

“We talked a lot about style and narrowed down Tom’s aesthetic to contemporary with a mid-century edge,” Samuelson says. “Over and over again, it came back to simple lines and a masculine vibe.” To create these, the designer ditched existing Old World elements including gilded detailing, faux finishes, arched door carvings and a medallion in the warped wood flooring. “It was over the top and didn’t feel right for Park City,” she says. While the heavy details dated the entire interior, Samuelson concentrated much of her efforts on the upper level great room where Stoltman spends much of his time relaxing and entertaining friends. While transforming the open great room, Samuelson focused on creating a stylish space that felt comfortable and lived-in. “Even though Tom was buying his furniture all at once, we didn’t want it to appear that way,” she says. The designer and client scoured spots including Restoration Hardware and Salt Lake’s Mod a-go-go as well as sites like One Kings Lane and Room & Board to find the perfect complementary but unmatched pieces.

Living Steve Norr of Peppertree Kitchen & Bath to swap out the kitchen’s outdated, arched upper cabinet doors with square-paneled replacements. “Changing upper doors is great way to make a big impact on a limited budget,” says Norr, noting the approach also avoids disturbing existing countertops. A deep gray cabinet finish, white Caesarstone countertops, glass tile backsplash, contemporary lighting and a stainless hood are among the new elements used to update the kitchen and integrate it into the great room’s modern design. Samuelson didn’t stop with the finishes and furnishings; she reworked the room’s flow as well. “The room is really narrow, so I created an imaginary line running from the top of the stairs to the window at the end of the space. No furniture could cross the line and become an obstacle,” says the designer, who also divided the open space into defined living zones that flow seamlessly into one another. By choosing modestly scaled furniture, creating a calm palette, and keeping the design cohesive and uncluttered throughout, Samuelson not only gave the great room a big style change, but also made it look and live much larger than it actually is.

ennis and Elke Levine love living in Deer Valley’s scenic mountains, but they have no desire to reside in a dark, lodge-style hilltop home. Instead, they opt for light, bright and modern. The couple has a passion for streamlined, European style, and it runs throughout their interior into the hub of the home, their spacious kitchen. “We wanted a clean look but one that fits a mountain home,” says Elke who drove the design process with a clear vision of the kitchen space. Working with the home’s architect, Jack Thomas (who is also
Park City’s mayor) and kitchen designer Brent Jespersen, that is exactly what she and Dennis created. Giving a nod to the mountain’s rustic setting, the Levines selected 22-foot reclaimed beams from the Ogden Defense Depot to soar above their open kitchen. Remnants of old paint and iron hardware enhance the beams’ raw character, a must-have for the Levines who consulted with designer Rion Locke to fine tune the scale and finishes of the overhead feature. “The beams help warm the room,” says Elke, who s p r ing 2 0 1 4

selected oil-rubbed, 10-inch wide planked oak flooring to do the same. A keenly curated mix of textures and sleek cabinetry of contrasting colors also contributes to the room’s comfortable, contemporary feel. Throughout the room, planes of matte white lacquer and dark acacia wood define the décor as they enclose storage, dress walls and form open shelves. “I wanted cabinetry that looks like furniture and insisted on a manufactured kitchen with pieces that precisely fit to the millimeter,” Elke says. Working with Jespersen, owner of Poliform SLC, Elke and Dennis selected Italian-made Poliform cabinets and wall systems to create a room that flaunts both functionality and flair. Anchoring the room, a white island gleams atop the dark wood floor. A single basin sink punctuates the white quartz countertop. “I don’t like double sinks. A single is much easier to use and clean,” Elke says. Overlapping the Caesarstone, a plane of acacia extends into the room to form a counter-height table surrounded by plush, armchair-like stools. “We wanted a counter where people sit across from one another rather than lining up in a row,”
Dennis says. Behind the table, an oven, steam oven and warming drawer reside in a broad wall housing the kitchen’s refrigeration systems and extractable pantry units hidden behind wood panels. “The vertically grained wood columns amplify the furniture look,” Jespersen says. Additional storage discreetly extends on each side hidden behind white door panels. At the kitchen’s west end, a cozy, window-framed nook sits surrounded by spectacular views and houses a second seating area furnished with custom high-back settees and a small coffee table. “Jack Thomas insisted on this space,” Elke says. “At night you can see the lights of Park City and in the morning you can see the mountains.” Across the room, a wall system of storage cabinets and illuminated cantilevered shelves perform like art. “The mix of alternating sizes of upper wall cabinets creates interesting geometry,” Jespersen says. Throughout the kitchen, the cabinetry, furnishings and finishes unite to create a fresh, modern style for mountain living. “It’s simple and to the point, open and clean feeling,” says Elke. “I’ve had every kind of kitchen and this is by far the most modern and my favorite.” USD
White surfaces dress the kitchen’s cooking and prep area. ”I love the white,” says Elke. “My previous kitchen had dark cabinets, and I never knew if they were clean or not. These are beautiful and so easy to keep spotless.”

t’s a testament to Peggy Ambrey’s patience and perseverance that she and her husband Tim live in their stunning mid-century modern home in the heart of South Ogden. It’s also evidence of her keen sense of style. Smitten by the home from the moment she saw it, Peggy lost the house to another buyer during its sale by the original owner in 1993. “I was devastated,” she says. She moved into a home just a couple blocks away from the classic dwelling. Eighteen months later, Peggy learned the house was back on the market and arranged to see it that very same day. “I knew I would know what to do when I walked through the door,” she says. Won over once again, Peggy placed an offer on the house just hours later. Flash forward 17 years and Peggy’s determination and design eye were once again rewarded with a savvy remodel that brought the 1964 home stylishly into the 21st century. “It was a designer’s dream,” says interior designer Cody Beal who was hired by the Ambreys to remodel the 60-year-old house. “It was in its original condition, well cared for and absolutely ready for a redo.” The home’s clean horizontal lines, staggered planes of concrete block and floor-to-ceiling glass added to its appeal. Initially, the Ambreys were focused on the kitchen and master bedroom, recalls Beal. As the designer wandered the 3,200 square-foot home, he recognized potential reaching far beyond those two rooms. “It’s an open floor plan, so if you touch one space you have to consider everything else nearby,” he says. With his clients’ blessing, he brainstormed and proposed ideas for an extensive overhaul. “Cody’s excitement and confidence were infectious,” Peggy says. “From the start, he had a vision that included everything from the interior to the landscaping.”
Original floor-to-ceiling windows and concrete block walls enclose the chic, sunken living room. A shapely Roche Bobois sectional and novelty hide-covered Thayer Coggins chair provide luxe seating and style to the retreat-like room. Sheer draperies fill the space with soft, natural light.

Left: Fashioned to replicate a Parson’s table, the sleek kitchen island performs as a prep station and buffet complete with a small sink.
Today, the evidence of transformation begins at the curb, where a sweeping lawn and rhythmic plantings replaced a cherry tree-topped berm and a messy mix of overgrown junipers and shrubs. “We wanted a more contemporary look that accentuated the home’s architecture and the original slab steps leading to the front door,” says Beal, who collaborated with Peggy and landscaper Brook Hansen to modernize the property. In the covered entry, graphic beds of smooth stones and chartreuse groundcover perform like patterned carpets below sentry-like planters topped with agaves. The simple yet striking design provides a clue of the dynamic interior waiting behind the slate-gray door.

While its closed-off layout was stylish in its day, it was the opposite of what people want and need today, according to Beal. “In the 60s, the dialogue of an open kitchen hadn’t started,” he says. “Today, people want an open, livable space where they can cook and entertain.” Beal removed blockades of high-end walnut cabinets and brought in kitchen and bath design expert Nicole Zeigler to fine-tune his layout and work with the Ambreys on specific storage and cabinetry needs.

Elsewhere, a chic, light-filled living room, lower-level family room and broad, shaded patio are among other inviting spaces renewed by Beal’s expertly executed design. “From the beginning, we wanted a modern, sophisticated and comfortable design that stayed true to the bones and spirit of the home,” says Peggy. “That’s exactly what Cody created, and we couldn’t be happier.” USD

ing some of Utah’s most distinctive homes from Salt Lake to Park City, but it may be the 131 year-old Capitol Hill-area abode that he recently remodeled with his wife Tammy that best demonstrates his creative wizardry. Located next door to the couple’s 1905 Victorian home nestled in the Marmalade District, the once decrepit haunted house now serves as the couple’s urban retreat. One of the first dwellings to be built in the historic neighborhood, this abandoned home was originally constructed in 1883 by LDS prophet John Taylor for his wife Sarah, and was a simple two-story rectangular structure, positioned lengthwise to the street. In 1906, an addition extended the original footprint to the back adding a kitchen and bedroom. When the Upwalls moved into their Victorian home next door in 2008, the run-down structure had been vacant for almost 20 years.
Left: A refurbished fireplace anchors a cozy sitting area on the home’s main floor. Below: A breezeway serves as a wet path and changing area for the pool. An original window is now a mirror surrounded by repurposed siding that was once the cedar fence between the two properties.
“I was in love with the old house,” Tammy says. Soon after moving into their home, they discovered the vacant property next door was scheduled for auction. Michael attended the auction with no intention of bidding. But when he overheard potential buyers discussing plans to tear down what was left of the structure and put up apartments, he made an offer, won the bid and gave the old house to Tammy for her birthday. “Although it was the best birthday present ever, we were initially unsure what to do with it,” says Tammy, owner of Got Beauty shop and salon in Sugar House. “We needed a garage, not more living space,” Michael explains. After considering many possibilities, they decided to design a space dedicated to creativity. “My wife is an amazing photographer and does the promotional imagery for her store and website, and I really needed a private studio for my work,” says Michael. “Now, when inspiration strikes at odd hours, I am only a few steps away from my drawing table.” Over the course of 18 months, the house went through a major transformation. The internal space was entirely gutted and the addition, which was structurally unsound, was removed and replaced by a smartly finished garage, complete with a stamped tin ceiling and broad, glass doors. Michael created an easement, which allowed for a driveway between the two homes and access to the garage. “I wanted to preserve the street-front integrity of the original pioneer home,” he says. The garage is separated from the historic structure by a glass stair tower. This obvious change in materials from brick to glass is recessed in from the outside corner, helping to maintain the distinct geometry of the structure. Extraordinary staircases are among the celebrated architectural elements that differentiate Michael’s award-winning designs. “I believe stairways are the perfect opportunity to create sculpture within a home,” he says. His studio reflects this idea. Inside the glass stair tower, solid white oak treads cantilever off a central steel I-beam sp r ing 2 0 1 4

spine and appear to float in front of a floor-to-ceiling window wall. This stairway leads to Michael’s upper-level studio and provides access to the rooftop deck and garden above the garage. Bricks carefully salvaged from the old addition now adorn the twocar garage inside and out. The corners of the garage extend upward to brick planter boxes housing four Japanese maple trees that help shade the rooftop deck. A raised vegetable garden completes the deck’s urban landscape. The couple worked with several landscape companies to source and import mature trees from Oregon. Michael, who jokes that he has a healthy but expensive addiction to trees, didn’t want to wait for young trees to grow, so he had two 50-foot high Lebanese cedar trees transported on semi trucks and strategically installed to create privacy while concealing an existing power pole and transformer. A series of 30-foot high Hornbeam poplars border the southern edge of the yard, aligning the two-story brick rear wall of the Salt Lake Acting Company. A large tiered fountain fosters a European courtyard look and feel.

Then they added a luxe

t all started with a knock. Standing on a dusty stoop 10 years ago, young attorney Lee Saber waited patiently for the door to open. He and his wife Hadley had recently left a small yellow cottage in Austin to return to their hometown of Salt Lake City, and behind that door they hoped to find the beginning of the next chapter of their life together. The couple stumbled upon the run-down rambler while on a walk in the Salt Lake Country Club neighborhood. “The house was completely concealed with trees, ivy and vines,” Lee says. But it showcased a key feature they coveted: a flat roofline. “Fifteen years ago, mid-century modern design was booming in Austin and we really liked it,” Hadley says. As luck would have it, the 85-year-old homeowner was interested in selling. “We knew it was jewel in the rough,” she says. “We were in our late 20s at the time and the thought of renovating appealed to us.” And with that, the couple purchased the property and began to transform it. “Our first priority was the landscaping when we moved in,” says Hadley, who with Lee, excavated the yard and designed its new features. Dumpsters were filled with uprooted shrubs, ivy and trees. The pool was updated, and overgrown vines were stripped from a tall fence enclosing the property to reveal views of the golf course’s 6th hole adjoining the yard. Today, Lee and Hadley—along with 9-year-old son Jack, and 7-year-old daughter Beau—flourish in the hip home that took 10 years of thoughtful

planning and six solid months of major renovation to create. With the help of architect Monte Still of Still Thorum Architecture and builder Brady Sherman of Sherman homes, the Sabers transformed the 3,545-square-foot ranch—originally designed by architect Ed Dreier—into headquarters for their family. “Ultimately, we tried to update the house in the way Ed would have,” Lee says. “With the invaluable help of our architect, Monte Still, we remodeled the house without sacrificing its original character.” Upon arrival, guests pass through an extra-wide, glass pivoting door that opens to a view of the backyard and, to the left, a glimpse into an office enriched with eye-catching custom cabinetry designed by Bill Cordray, space designer for Teerlink Cabinet, whom Still enlisted to engineer the look and flow of custom cabinets. Just as the office serves as an initial visual treat
for guests, the mudroom/pantry area performs similarly for the homeowners. “Many design projects don’t consider how the homeowner enters the house,” says Cordray. “We wanted them to walk into a mudroom that looks nice and functional.” Inspired by mid-century modern furniture, walnut was Cordray’s “obvious” material choice here and throughout the house. Featuring walnut on every cabinet face wasn’t the only savvy design choice Cordray made. By varying colors of cabinet frames and doors in each area, the spaces link without excessive duplication. This is most apparent in the kitchen where walls were removed to open it to the adjoining living and dining areas. “The interplay of the two-tone treatment gives it much more of a custom look,” says Cordray. “And it lightens it up a bit, especially around the refrigerator and oven which can look heavy on the same wall.” s p r ing 2 0 1 4

Calacatta gold marble topping the kitchen’s 12-foot island also lightens the space. Beyond the island, the eye moves to the most striking feature of the renovation: thirty feet of floor-toceiling sliding windows that meet at the great room’s corner. There, the Sabers enclosed a roofed outdoor patio, providing an extra 275 square feet of year-round living without adding to the footprint. “We were really inspired by California design with the open walls of windows that bring the outdoors in,” says Hadley. “And the windows are their own pieces of artwork.”
A work of art, indeed. Focusing on views and an open floor plan allowed the Sabers to preserve the era of the home while adding modern-day functionality and contemporary custom finishes. “We envisioned the end result for a decade before we actually embarked upon the remodel,” Lee says. “We knew exactly what we wanted from the remodel process and it has been rewarding to have our patience pay off—especially after living in the home’s original condition for 10 years.” All this beginning with a simple knock on the door.

EGGING ON
What’s the simplest way to take an everyday dish and make it extraordinary? Top it with an egg. This trick continues to be one of the hottest culinary trends going and, luckily for home cooks, possibly the easiest to execute. by Mary Brown Malouf
photos by Adam Finkle
One look at today’s most mouth-watering menus and it’s clear chefs are cracking a lot more eggs. This sunny-faced food seems to be topping almost every dish leaving the kitchen. A hamburger, a plate of asparagus, a stack of pancakes and even a pile of pasta—they are all being lifted a notch when topped with a simple fried egg. And they’re not alone. More and more dishes are enjoying the emulsified texture of a runny yolk as it becomes a sauce, enriching and complementing pretty much everything beneath.

GADGET GUIDE Egg lovers rejoice. Today’s selection of cooking tools extends far beyond the spatula.
EGG FRY 101 Fernand Point’s Perfect Fried Egg Chef Fernand Point (1897-1955) is often called the father of modern French cuisine. Like all famous French chefs, he had fanatically strong opinions about how to perform the seemingly simplest kitchen tasks, like frying an egg. “Place a lump of fresh butter in a pan or egg dish and let it melt—that is, just enough for it to spread, and never, of course, to crackle or sit; open a very fresh egg onto a small plate or saucer and slide it carefully into the pan; cook it on heat so low that the white barely turns creamy, and the yolk becomes hot but remains liquid; in a separate saucepan, melt another lump of fresh butter; remove the egg onto a lightly heated serving plate; salt it and pepper it, then very gently pour this fresh, warm butter over it.” – Fernand Point

Much is made of whether an egg is fresh or stale, because the fresher the egg, the better the taste and, some say, the higher the nutritional value. Note: We’re not talking about rotten eggs here, just relative freshness. Traditionally, eggs were inspected by “candling;” the egg was held up to a candle for a glimpse of what was inside the shell. Now hand-packed eggs may be inspected by holding them in front of an intense light.
So what do inspectors look for? A small, stable air space between the white and the shell. This space shrinks as the egg ages. A thick, cloudy white that can obscure the yolk. Egg white thins and clears as it ages. A fresh egg doesn’t rattle when it’s shaken gently; the white is thick and cushions the yolk. There should be no blood spots.

Farm-fresh eggs are more flavorful. Farm-fresh egg yolks are generally deeper yellow than factory egg yolks. Farm-fresh egg yolks are generally fuller and feature more pronounced mounds.

Farm-fresh egg yolks are less likely to break when cracked. Farm-fresh eggs are nutritionally superior, says a study done by Mother Earth News in 2007.
Pass on the Propegganda There’s a lot of egg talk out there, but don’t believe it all. For years, we were warned about the dietary dangers of eggs and a decade and a half later, many people still don’t know: Eggs are good for you. Beginning in 2000, the American Heart Association’s dietary guidelines started allowing an egg a day. Still, people buy Egg Beaters and egg white omelets, because the most delicious part of the egg, the golden yolk, holds most of the cholesterol— about 213 mg. But, dietary cholesterol is no longer believed to contribute significantly to blood cholesterol. And that was the big egg bugaboo. One egg has just 75 calories and seven grams of high-quality protein, five grams of fat and 1.6 grams of saturated fat, which is the bad guy. A plate of grilled or roasted vegetables topped with a fried or poached egg is one of the best choices you can make for lunch or supper.

EGG HUNT
For the freshest, best eggs, your own backyard is the best bet. That’s why chicken-mania has swept the nation in the last few years, with coops becoming standard backyard furniture. Here in Salt Lake City, where the trend has leveled off, there are still lots of residential chickens. Kestrel Liedtke has kept a small flock for years. Although she can’t use them in the kitchen at Tin Angel, the restaurant she co-owns with her husband Jerry and Robin Faircloth, fresh eggs from her hens are a family staple.
The Tin Angel’s Kestrel Liedtke
For those of us who don’t have a trace of Aggie DNA, here are two helpful words: Julie Clifford. Julie and Rich Clifford —with the help of Clifford Family Farm—raise eggs, meat, honey, raspberries and other seasonal produce but it’s the eggs that have become a
celebrity at local restaurants, from Frida Bistro to Trio to Talisker on Main. Because of the increased cost of paperwork, Clifford is no longer certified organic, but they still operate organically. Last fall, Utah egg-lovers were up in arms: The Utah Department of Agriculture was on the brink of prohibiting Clifford Family Farm’s sale of eggs to restaurants. The problem: Clifford only has 1,700 birds and to be federally inspected, an operation must have 3,000 birds. Without federal inspection, third party sales are illegal. The issue has been resolved, but it was a close call. Find Clifford Family Farm eggs at the Downtown Farmers Market on Saturdays, at their own farm stand at Caputo’s Deli & Market and at Liberty Heights Fresh. spring 2014
