THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABORS

Iwas recently talking with a friend—trying to define what this summer means, what it feels like as the season approaches. Because this year, somehow, summer is decidedly different. What I keep coming back to is that it all feels…bigger. We began to sense it long before it arrived: like the scent of the grill as you approach a backyard barbecue or the rumble of an oncoming train. We could feel how powerful it would be: the freedom to finally spend time with loved ones and enjoy simple moments that many of us have taken for granted until now.

But another piece of this puzzle—one that folks may not truly appreciate until they welcome guests back to their homes—is how much we have accomplished along the way. Think about the projects we’ve completed: the kitchen renovated, the raised bed gardens built, the DIY dressers and chairs refreshed. What a wonderful opportunity to revel in what we can do with our hands when we have a little bit of time!

This issue celebrates that sentiment in many ways. See sports royalty DeMarcus and Angela Ware finally designing and finishing their dream home. Learn how to set up a gorgeous, Cambria-coordinated laundry room so you can clean like the professionals do. And find out how you can use preserved lemons to bring summer sunshine to dishes long after the season is through.

So whip yourself up a margarita from among our lip-smacking recipes (I recommend the cucumber), sit back, and embrace this chance to enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Enjoy,

THE HOME TEAM

When it comes to inspiration, what comes first: a beautiful new design or the engineering that makes it possible? At Cambria, they go hand in hand. Our design and engineering teams are constantly opening doors that help each other move forward. This allows Cambria to pick up where Mother Nature leaves off. We do not simply copy what we see in nature. We go further—both in terms of appearance and creating stronger, longer-lasting products.

Over the years, seeking inspiration for these designs has often led our team to the airport. That is what has allowed us to create choices that capture the motion of the Aegean Sea or the unique energy of Kyoto, Japan. We love it when what we make gives people a sense of being transported. For example, our most recent launch includes four new designs, each meant to encapsulate the spirit of a beloved vacation destination.

We may have been traveling less recently, but this has allowed us more time to appreciate the joys that surround us right here. As our Le Sueur, Minnesota, plant expanded once again, our hearts swelled with pride that we come together there to craft something special that’s made in America. And when we see how Cambria products grace our own homes, we feel united with people across the nation and around the world—people who fell in love with a Cambria design and now celebrate holidays from Independence Day to Thanksgiving in style and comfort that we helped create.

So, even as we look forward to traveling in search of inspiration again, we are always grateful to be reminded that there’s no place like home.

TIPS FOR INSPIRED LIVING

Opposites attract: finding the ideal balance between strength and softness, playfulness and sophistication.

SET THE SCENE

BY CHOOSING A LUSH WALL COVERING, I WAS ABLE TO CREATE THE ANTITHESIS OF THE ALL-WHITE KITCHEN, WHICH I STILL GET ASKED TO DO, BUT WITH DECREASING FERVOR.

Bold wall coverings—not your grandmother’s wallpaper—are making a comeback in chic homes. Today, some of the most important gathering spaces are being designed around scene-stealing wall statements. That includes this dream of a kitchen by interior designer JIM DOVE , punctuated with Ironsbridge Matte Cambria on the island countertop and flanking the stove range. “Now, people want their kitchens to be as interesting as the rest of their home,” he explains. Dove’s striking background, L’Eden mural by de Gourney, is shrouded behind museum-quality glass to both protect the delicate pattern and amp up the impression of prestige. With options from graphic geometrics to jungle landscapes—it can be hard for homeowners to choose. But when in doubt, consider Dove’s golden rule: “I want it to look as though the surroundings had actually jumped right out of the painting.”

IT’S

ALL ABOUT CONTRAST; IF YOU HAVE A ROOM THAT’S SUPER SUGARY SWEET, IT CAN BE OVERWHELMING, BUT BY ADDING SOME CONTRAST, IT ANCHORS THE SPACE TO MAKE IT FEEL BALANCED AND COHESIVE.

No.2 NATURALLY FEMININE

Clients recently asked interior designer JEWEL MARLOWE to capture nature’s tranquility with a twist. “The goal was a very feminine take on natural elements,” says Marlowe. Thus, her dining room design is a dance between strength and softness. Note how the monochromatic blush of the forest mural wall covering from Fine & Dandy “feels like a sophisticated, moody color.” Cambria in a matte Brittanicca Gold provides a similarly sophisticated mix of beige tones, pearlized creams, and faded pinks.

No.3

DARK + DREAMY

Kitchens were once all white, all the time. Now, homeowners dare to embrace deeper colors and statement-making backsplash patterns—like in this cool kitchen. The room has become a central family hub for designer + contractor duo and founders of construction2style JAMIE & MORGAN MOLITOR “We wanted the kitchen to inspire us daily,” she says. “We like to think outside the box and challenge ourselves to go big and bold with any room we design.”

No.4 OUTSIDE INSIDE LIVING

For a West Hollywood home with plenty of fêtes in its future, designer JULIA WONG focused on a key feature of California living: the sunshine. With its sharp, clean lines and minimalist tone, this open-air kitchen allows the backyard landscape to take center stage. The large window above the sink opens outward to reveal an alfresco dining area. It’s a perfect pass to transfer food and drink for outdoor entertaining.

No.5 NORDIC NEUTRAL

Scandinavian style remains a popular aesthetic trend for the less-is-more, time-is-of-the-essence minded crowd. Thanks to its focus on clean lines, lighter wooden tones (especially the favored white oak), and not to mention the overall highly functional, nary one dish out of place doctrine, this no nonsense style is both sleek and efficient. But that’s not to say you can’t have any fun, says MICHELLE ADAMS , a Michiganbased creative consultant, designer, and editor.

“Cambria’s Bentley quartz’s high contrast pattern is a showstopper. It immediately became the dominant design element in my bathroom,” she says. “To balance the look, I paired it with streamlined cabinetry, crisp white walls and floors, and an antique mirror to juxtapose the room’s modern aesthetic.”

No.6

PLAYFUL EASE

Livability, playfulness, and timelessness: they’re concepts that don’t often play nicely together. Nevertheless, Atlanta-based designer and television personality VERN YIP focused on integrating all three in this thoroughly modern kitchen. Yip loves to enliven spaces with unexpected bric-a-brac sourced from flea markets—like the antique rocking horse above the refrigerator. “Nobody wants to live in a museum,” he explains. “We don’t live like that today.” A bubbly copper light fixture continues this playful spirit, while the French doors add glamour. The overall design is sophisticated yet lighthearted.

Yip searches global markets, sourcing light fixtures with personality.

LAUNDRY LOVE

Patric Richardson says it’s time to come clean and embrace clothing care | By

AMY NELSON SANDER

LOAD TIME

Do laundry only once a week so you start and finish. “If you do it every single day, you don’t know where everything is. Your favorite shirt could be in the hamper, in the dryer, or clean and in your drawer. It’s difficult to know where.”

PLAN YOUR SPACE

Make your laundry room a place you want to spend time in. Your laundry is one of the hardest working rooms in the house. Cambria countertops, a deep sink, and great lighting make it functional and beautiful.

LAUNDRY LIST

From drying racks to better lighting and laundry room layout, learn how to plan your space with more tips at CambriaUSA.com/Style/Laundry.

Patric Richardson loves doing laundry, and thinks you should too. The selfproclaimed “Laundry Evangelist” from St. Paul, Minnesota, says you can ditch your dry cleaner and care for your clothes with a few basic tips.

Voted “best dressed” in high school, Richardson credits his Kentucky grandmother for his passion for clothing and apparel. The laundry camp workshops he ran in his vintage clothing store called Mona Williams at the Mall of America were so popular that they led to Richardson’s recently released memoir, Laundry Love: Finding Joy in a Common Chore, and TV series on discovery+ called The Laundry Guy, which also will air on HGTV in late summer. You might be surprised at the satisfaction that comes with skipping the dry cleaner and

For that down comforter, treat stains with a mixture of soap and water. Wash in warm water, and throw it in the dryer on low temperature with tennis balls or dryer balls.

laundering your own “dry clean only” pieces. Subscribe to Richardson’s methods that take you back to the basics by using club soda and vinegar and even vodka as common, chemicalfree ingredients. Richardson says all you need for success is some confidence and creativity. We can all retrain ourselves to clean, revive, and care for our laundry and garments in our own house and thumb our noses at conventional dry cleaning.

DIY VS. DRY CLEAN | Richardson’s top tip is to know that everything can be laundered. “With a wool suit, nobody remembers the sheep got wet. The farmer did not dry clean the sheep,” he says. But to clean your clothes yourself, never wash on cold because the water temperature needs to be at least 62 degrees to activate most soaps. He uses the warm water setting, cold rinse, and express cycle.

CARE KIT

Put together a kit of supplies including soap flakes instead of harsh detergents, spray bottles of vinegar and water for stain removal, vodka and water for odor removal, dryer balls, and horsehair brushes. Richardson sells his own soap flakes and other items at Mona Williams.

STAIN REMOVAL

Do not own anything you are afraid to wear or wash. From lipstick stains to keeping denim indigo, Richardson has a laundry list of tips to care for your clothing and garments.

1. For silk, spray stain with vinegar, blot dry, and wash as normal.

2. For ink, use rubbing alcohol and a horse hair brush to scrub away the stain.

3. For red wine, use a few teaspoons of sodium percarbonate with water. The red stain chemically reacts in the solution and turns blue instantly. The blue stain will wash out in warm water in the washing machine.

THE ARTISAN TOUCH

A return to craftsmanship, American made, and thoughtful consumerism is building in a big way

By NICOLE HADDAD

In recent years, America has been experiencing the return of the artisan—the truly mindful, inventive being, who dreams up and creates handmade designs using local and sustainable production practices. They’ve turned consumption with intention into the newest luxury—along with the most essential element: American provenance.

Artisans have elevated design in all its forms while simultaneously starting a dialogue on the importance of authenticity, investing in communities, and buying only American-made products. Mass-produced, single-use items are no longer acceptable—and the makers, brands, and studios featured on these pages prove why throw-away societies should be relegated to the past. Each painstakingly created design— from covetable kitchenware to ultra-chic lighting and plush seating—employs ethical and sustainably sourced materials and is made with exceptional care and longevity in mind—all without sacrificing style. Decreasing one’s carbon footprint never looked so good. These are the modern heirlooms.

A LEGACY FULFILLED

A Brooklyn-based designer completes his father’s dream home in Minnesota

By THOMAS CONNORS

It may be the land of 10,000 lakes, but in southwestern Minnesota, the vistas evoke visions of the old frontier, where the prairie stretches still with timeless promise. It’s here that Glenn Larson raised his family and where he began to design and build a home that could serve as a gathering place for generations to come. Sadly, Glenn passed away before he fully realized this ambition, but the project was in good hands—those of his son Gunnar, a Brooklyn-based interior designer.

Glenn and his wife, Karen, were early adaptors of sustainability and Gunnar remembers helping them tear down barns as a kid to repurpose the wood. “My dad built the house I grew up in, and it was about 80 percent recycled material.” When Gunnar stepped in to complete his dad’s final design, he incorporated doors and trim from a 1919 schoolhouse his parents had salvaged. The old blackboard even found a spot as a backsplash behind the kitchen stove.

Portions of the wide and welcoming front porch were recycled from the home of Gunnar’s great-grandmother.

Cambria Windrush Matte countertops work harmoniously with the rich walnut kitchen cabinets.

I WANTED EVERYTHING TO HAVE A MEANING AND PURPOSE. I WANTED EVERYTHING TO TELL A STORY.

Although the house was framed, partially plumbed, and a good part of the electrical work was done, finishing it was a labor of love. There were floors to lay, cabinets to install, doors to be hung, and sheetrock to be put up. Last March, Gunnar and his wife, Sara, and their two kids climbed into the car and headed west for the home stretch. “We lived in the semi-finished basement with my mom for six months, working full time finishing the house,” shares Gunnar. While impressively scaled, the home is also cozy. Take the kitchen. Although open to the living spaces, the play of oak flooring and walnut cabinetry set it apart and create an unmistakable warmth. Eager to incorporate durable and easy

maintenance materials in this high-traffic area, Gunnar turned quite naturally to Cambria, where he found product that dovetailed handsomely with his designs. In the kitchen, the Windrush Matte he used for the countertops paired perfectly with the custom walnut cabinetry. “It’s such a beautiful, mellow pattern and feels very natural in this setting,” says Gunnar.

A big fan of Western movies, Glenn fashioned this retreat as a sort of ranch, more Ponderosa than Little House on the Prairie (author Laura Ingalls Wilder lived 20 miles away in Walnut Grove). And from the expansive front porch to its double-height, open timbered great room, the house definitely projects a lodge-like,

escape-from-it-all vibe. There are luxe touches— such as a hammered copper tub and mercury glass lighting fixtures that add a certain sparkle, and five generations of family art and furniture here—rosemaling, an old trunk, a cabinet made by a great-great-uncle who emigrated from Norway in the 1800s. Gunnar’s penchant for marrying disparate patterns, shapes, and materials is evident everywhere. A powder room, for example, appears as if it evolved over time,

sporting a wainscot of reclaimed wood, brown floral wallpaper, and a floor of Norwegian Rose Marble tile.

Other elements in the house include sliding industrial-style doors that lead to a simply furnished but roomy bedroom. A bar area that has a quietly chaotic mix of materials and colors. Contemporary touches include furniture from Minnesota-based Room & Board and Blu Dot. The mix of pieces—a rustic cupboard

displaying antique crocks and Fiestaware, a sleek leather easy chair perched on slender steel legs—add to the sense of a home that has evolved over time. And although the arrangement of the furnishings reflects careful consideration, there’s nothing forced about their placement. Nothing looks staged. Everything seems to be where it naturally ought to be.

Glenn Larson broke ground on the house over a decade ago. After five years devoted to realizing his father’s dream, Gunnar and his family, his mother, and his two sisters are enjoying the finished property for the first time this summer. It’s been a long journey, but what a homecoming.

WHITE OUT

Using the whitest of whites to magnify light in a modernist Phoenix residence

By JORGE S. ARANGO

Photography by ROEHNER + RYAN

“I’m known as a steel and glass man,” Alfred Newman Beadle told a local Maricopa County newspaper in 1988. “I won’t deviate from that too much.” And he didn’t back in 1973 when he designed this two-bedroom, two-bath duplex apartment in the Biltmore neighborhood of Phoenix, Arizona.

In true International Style—the architectural genre Beadle adapted to the Arizona surroundings from which he never strayed after relocating from his native Minnesota in the early 1950s—the apartment was rigorously rectilinear, with structural exposed-steel I-beams, poured concrete floors, and large expanses of glass. It proved irresistible for an empty-nester San Diego couple seeking a pied-à-terre in Phoenix. “They loved modern exposed steel and a clean look,” says Brad Leavitt, founder of Scottsdale-based A Finer Touch Construction. “They wanted to preserve the historic nature of the home.”

The main issue was not Beadle’s structure, but the lack of natural light that illuminated its interior. “Homes of that era were like caves. You didn’t have lots of windows,” Leavitt observes. In this case, there was generous fenestration on

Classic modern furnishings—Charles and Ray Eames’ 1956 lounge chair and ottoman, Norman Cherner stools—accent contemporary furnishings in the living room.

MODERN ICONS

THIS PROJECT NEEDED PURE WHITE, AND CAMBRIA’S WHITE CLIFF IS ONE OF THE PUREST WHITES YOU CAN GET.

LIGHT CATCHER

Pairing Cambria’s White

the perimeter walls. The problem was what was outside those walls, which blocked the natural light from penetrating into the central rooms, namely a second-floor outdoor deck.

The double-height main space, a living room with an open kitchen, was set several feet in from the windows, separated from them by concretefloored corridors on either side. This made it necessary for any naturally occurring light entering the space to travel further to reach it. But the deck left the area outside the first-floor sliders in perpetual shade, discouraging any light from reaching—much less passing through—the sliders and into the living area. Furthermore, a solid

awning over the deck upstairs and a four-foot tall, thick-slat wood rail around it severely impeded the free flow of natural light into the upper story. These were the architectural equivalent of border control for the passage of sunlight.

Leavitt replaced the old decking with a new Trex version and the opaque awning with a metal trellis that beckoned light in but broke it up to mitigate the midday sun. New cable railings welcomed still more light, and cutting a rectangular opening in the deck floor allowed it to flow down into the first-floor rooms.

The challenge of getting light into the rooms now solved, Leavitt decided to maximize its

rays with reflective surfaces off which they could bounce back into the spaces. Repolishing the concrete floors that Beadle had installed in 1973 not only revivified them, but it ramped up their reflective quality so they could ricochet natural light beaming into the entry courtyard, as well as the newly illuminated patio under the deck opposite it, back into the interiors. But, more importantly, he installed perimeter cabinetry of glossy white acrylic and used Cambria’s pure white White Cliff on the kitchen island, countertops, and backsplashes; the wet bar surface in the dining room; as well as all the bathroom vanities. “The kitchen cabinetry was all brown wood before,” he recalls. “All the

new white surfaces reflected light and made everything clean and bright.”

Additionally, the couple likes to cook and entertain friends, a pastime that Cambria’s easy maintenance material makes more carefree. The end result is a kitchen bathed in light that serves a home chef with durable and low-maintenance surfaces, while still seamlessly blending into its modernist surroundings.

All the white, in fact, cleaves more closely to Beadle’s beloved International Style than the 1970s-era dark wood finishes did. None of his intention is lost. In fact, it is enhanced in a way that would have pleased his resolutely modernist soul.

DESERT OASIS

Al who? Reviving the Reputation of an Influential Arizona Modernist

Unless you were a denizen of Phoenix in the middle of the 20th century, Alfred Newman Beadle would not have been a household name. The mythic Frank Lloyd Wright and his apprentice Blaine Drake cast long shadows over architects like Beadle who helped create what we know as desert modernism today. He is best remembered for his 1964 design for Case Study Apartment #1 in the city’s Triad Apartments, commissioned by Art & Architecture magazine to combat so-called “dingbat” apartments, the magazine editors wrote, that were “cheap and blowsy eyesores.” The structure, still in use, accommodates three apartments on a 140-foot by 96-foot lot that nestled around common courtyards. It was especially innovative in the way one constantly moved from outdoor to indoor to out again through a system of boardwalks crisscrossing under canopied roofs.

AL BEADLE CASE STUDY APARTMENT #1

Beadle made traversing the length of the apartments memorable by simulating bridges over a stream with boardwalks suspended above river rocks.

The Biltmore neighborhood apartment retains the courtyard concept at the entry atrium, but also as a sunken main space at the center of the structure.

ULTIMATE RETREAT

DeMarcus

Ware designed a timeless Texas home

that’s

built for family competition

By JILL SIERACKI

Photography by STEVE HENKE

For more than 12 years, DeMarcus Ware was one of the NFL’s fiercest competitors, racking up awards for sacks and speed as a leading defensive player for the Dallas Cowboys and Denver Broncos. His laundry list of accolades includes trips to the Pro Bowl and a Super Bowl win, but ask him today about his playing time, and he’ll fondly reminisce about locker room camaraderie and being a team leader.

Also fresh in his mind is the heavy toll of an NFL career. After a series of surgeries on his back, neck, shoulder, and arm in just 14 months, he knew it was time to retire. “It just drove me to the point I wanted to retire; I was in so much pain,” says Ware, who turned his road to recovery into a second career in fitness, launching Trophy Club, Texas, gym 3Volt and interactive training app Driven to Win (D2W). “I missed football so much and being a leader and a captain for 12 years in the NFL, but I wanted to tap into people’s lives outside the stadium. Fitness is the best thing because either you want to feel good, you want to look good, or you want to be healthy. I can help motivate people in that way.”

With such a high-octane lifestyle, Ware wanted his home to be a sanctuary, and renovating a spacious Texas home alongside his wife, Angela, and the design experts at Cambria allowed the couple to create the ultimate retreat. “When I leave the house, I crank the music up and I’m loud and I get after it,” he laughs. “But when I come home, I close the door and I want it quiet, I want it tranquil, I want it timeless.”

Together the couple selected a home with great bones, but that needed a complete overhaul to

“We wanted it to be where if anybody walked in here, they would say this is my dream home,” says DeMarcus Ware of the serene living-dining area.

match their look, which Angela describes as clean and classic with a modern twist. “We loved the floor plan, and could see the potential the first time we walked through. The home’s style was very dark and outdated, but by turning it into a blank canvas, we really could create something special,” she says. “The Cambria team was amazing to work with. They asked a lot of questions to really understand the look we were going for, and then gave us great options. They were always super responsive and had great suggestions for creative ways to use the product to make a statement in the home. We selected Cambria because of the quality and beauty of the product. Other stones, like marble, are beautiful but porous and difficult to keep pristine. Cambria allows you to have a stunning product that is durable and will stand the test of time.”

In cultivating the interior, each family member was able to carve out a private nook, including the ultimate “man cave” Ware designed by gutting a former theater room. “I play golf

every day, so I put a simulator in there. I put real golf clothes on, my hat, my shoes, and I close the doors, and it’s like golfing on the golf course,” he says. “That’s my spot where I go every day for Zen time and tranquility.”

Ware’s infectious competitive spirit thrives in the myriad spaces crafted to host exuberant card games, Jenga tournaments, or rounds of billiards. And the kitchen was specifically designed for welcoming huge family gatherings, much like the dinners for 40 to 45 guests that take place in his grandparents’ Auburn, Alabama, kitchen. “I want everybody to be comfortable when they come into the house,” says Ware. “We’re going to have fun, and there’s going to be a great joking atmosphere, but we are going to compete. And we’re going to have some really nice barbecue, so don’t try to count your calories if you come.”

FORM MEETS FUNCTION

“My wife makes amazing drinks,” says Ware, whose wine cellar is accessed along a double bar loaded with everything she needs to craft the perfect cocktail.

CENTER STAGE

Ware wanted to capture the feeling of large family gatherings at his grandparent’s Auburn, Alabama, home. “If I invite all the family down for Thanksgiving, I want everybody comfortable, so we’re talking and having fun,” he says of the spacious indoor/ outdoor kitchen island topped with the warm and organic look of Cambria Brittanica Gold.

SILVER LAKE SANCTUARY

Multi-hyphenate creative reimagines California modernism in an LA hilltop retreat

By GWEN DONOVAN

“California Modern meets Boho” is the way Jaclyn Johnson describes the redesign of a Silver Lake residence she shares with her artist husband and their two dogs. Johnson is an entrepreneur, investor, best-selling author, and CEO living in Los Angeles, California. “We bought the home March 2020. Such an odd time to buy a house, but also perfect because we spent the next eight months renovating, decorating, and spending a ton of time there,” Johnson explained. Her favorite room? “Definitely the kitchen. I love the open concept and spaces to gather; it’s perfect for entertaining,” she said. Johnson’s new Cambria countertops added a welcome dose of modernism, she

noted. “The combination of its bright white base and espresso-colored veining is classic yet unfussy, with a modern twist that really speaks to me.”

The newly unveiled Hawksmoore design from Cambria resembles marble, yet is incredibly durable and food safe, something Johnson requires as an avid baker. “We really did our research and discovered that there is no safer countertop for food prep than Cambria. It’s nonporous and doesn’t

absorb food and liquids like our marble counters did. I am all about how things look and feel, so it’s obviously a clear winner. Another bonus is that Cambria is virtually maintenance free, a huge plus in our busy lives.” Whether she’s hosting a dinner party for a crowd or grabbing a quick bite at the immense center island, Cambria countertops are quite literally a strong foundation for every meal, she explained. “Cambria has all the elegance we loved about our marble counters but it is super

stain-resistant. That means a spilled cup of coffee or glass of red wine is never cause for alarm.”

Located a quick walk from Create & Cultivate’s headquarters, the home includes a serene office space when Zoom calls pop up on Johnson’s calendar. “I love my built-in desk in my office,” she revealed, “It’s super functional and sleek, and really adds a new dimension to the room.” One of Johnson’s design go-tos is cane furniture, as seen in the office desk and king-sized bed in the primary bedroom. She felt it was important to infuse the layout with shapes, textures, and colors that sparked her witty, whimsical personality. “The home itself was well done but a white box;

we added a ton of cosmetic upgrades including a new roof, tile, lighting fixtures, and more. We also added a pool, which was a big project, and an outdoor fireplace/sitting area in the back.”

The home’s fun, laid-back, beachy vibe is clearly displayed outside. “We have a ton of outdoor space which was a big selling point of the house,” Johnson noted. “In the front we have our dog park, which is a garden and grass area for the pups, and our firepit, which channels Napa Valley with olive trees, black outdoor furniture, and a gorgeous modern stucco firepit. The view is super serene because we are up on the hill. We have nothing blocking us, and on a clear day you can see the ocean.”

SHELF CARE

A white pop of Cambria Colton makes a clever shelf behind the Japanese soaking tub.

In the primary bath enveloped by deep green tones, the lavish use of Cambria products was a design decision based on Johnson’s affinity for the product line’s enduring style. “We used Cambria in our first home for our shower, and it looks super elegant but also has great durability. We knew we wanted to replace the tile with a more elevated look, especially including the backsplash behind the Japanese soaking tub. We also covered the tub’s step shelf in Cambria, which looks stunning and it’s a great place to add fun accessories.” For Johnson, that’s just one of many small ways to create and cultivate her home.

THE GRAND HOTEL ENTERS A NEW ERA

THE FAMOUS PORCH

Nestled in Lake Huron, this classic American hotel has been welcoming generations of families who are drawn to its lost-in-time quality, as well as its all-American values. |

By CHRISTINA VALHOULI

The Grand Hotel is home to the longest porch in the world, clocking in at 660 feet long. The porch is lined with white rocking chairs and geraniums, and is visible when approaching the island by ferry boat or airplane.

The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island debuted in 1887, and not much has changed since then—which is exactly the way that its loyal guests like it.

When it opened, the Grand Hotel was part of a select group of properties built by US and Canadian railroad companies as a place for guests to stay while traveling the US by steam train. In the late 19th century, guests would hop on a boat across Lake Huron to reach the island, and then take a horse and buggy to arrive at the Grand Hotel. From the water, they would be able to see the hotel’s distinguishing feature, its 660-foot-long porch which is the longest in the world.

Back then, families would often stay for the entire two month summer season, and nightly rates were $3 to $5. Guests would dress up for dinner, dance to the sound of a live band, and settle into a rocking chair on the porch to soak up the views of the Straits of Mackinac.

As the years went by, the Grand Hotel adapted and subtly changed to keep up with the times while still retaining its classic architecture and welcoming feeling. “We never forget our traditions or who we are, but our goal is to offer as many amenities as we can,” says Bob Tagatz, the hotel’s resident historian. In 1935, a radio salon was created so that guests could listen to popular shows, and later the resort added features like golf courses and air conditioning. In the late 1970s, the design firm Dorothy Draper & Co. infused the hotel’s interior with an explosion of bright colors and patterns, which has become its signature look.

THE VANDERBILT SUITE

No two rooms at the Grand Hotel are alike, but what they have in common are bright colors and bold patterns. The Vanderbilt Suite has lake views and slate wallpapered walls.

The hotel has its fair share of loyal families, and can count fourth and fifth generation guests among its visitors. Families love it for the classic lawn games, such as croquet and bocce.

LAWN GAMES

WE WERE MINDFUL THAT WE WERE IN ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED HOTELS IN AMERICA. IT WAS A HUGE HONOR TO BE A PART OF THE REFRESH.

—VERN YIP

THE PARLOR

Although the hotel’s exterior is Victorian, the interiors are a happy mix of styles and eras. The signature look is bold, colorful, and playful, as seen in the parlor.

But the Grand Hotel is more than just a colorful place to stay. It symbolizes endurance and embodies a time when life was simpler and slower. The hotel has never closed its doors, even during the Depression, Prohibition, and war time, according to Tagatz. Guests love it because stepping through its doors is like stepping through time, when families dressed up to dine together and played lawn games like croquet. Tagatz says he has met fourth and fifth generation Grand Hotel guests.

While the hotel’s signature bright colors haven’t changed, the interior has subtly evolved. In 2021, the renowned designer Vern Yip spearheaded a refresh of the Grand Hotel, focusing on the Esther Williams Swimming Pool area, guest bathrooms,

and the retail corridor. The project was challenging, as design materials had to arrive as guests do, via ferry and horse and buggy.

While Yip wanted to preserve many elements of the past, he also wanted to elevate the guest experience. “It’s about respecting the past while moving forward,” he says. Yip selected Cambria products for the guest bathrooms, pool bar, and retail displays, due to their beauty and durability.

Yip also had to respect the hotel’s history, architecture, and signature colors when planning the redesign. “It’s a beloved, iconic hotel, so I approached the project with a lot of reverence,” says Yip. “We were mindful that we were in one of the most beloved hotels in America. It was a huge honor to be a part of the refresh.”

GUEST BATHROOMS

The guest bathrooms underwent a makeover that honored the traditional design inherent to the hotel by creating a soft layered palette centered around the warm creamy white of Cambria’s Colton.

THE NANCY REAGAN SUITE

The Grand Hotel has 388 guest rooms which also include suites and cottages. Seven rooms are named in honor of first ladies, including the Nancy Reagan First Lady Suite which embraces her love of red.

LEMON ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH PRESERVED LEMON CURD

Adapted from the New York Times Makes 12 Servings

INGREDIENTS

For the Cake

1 c. cake flour

1 1/3 c. granulated sugar

12 large egg whites

Pinch kosher salt

1½ tsp. cream of tartar

½ c. confectioners’ sugar

1 Tbsp. finely grated lemon zest

1 tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. lemon extract

For the Curd

½ c. lemon juice

1½ tsp. powdered gelatin

6 large eggs

1¼ c. granulated sugar

½ c. unsalted butter, melted ¼ c. preserved lemon juice (strained from a batch of salt preserved lemons)

Finely grated zest of two lemons

¾ tsp. kosher salt

1 c. heavy cream

PREPARATION

First, make the cake. Heat the oven to 350° with rack in center.

Sift flour and 1/3 c. granulated sugar into a large bowl. Use electric mixer to combine egg whites, salt, and cream of tartar. Beat with whisk attachment on medium-high speed until medium peaks form (about 3 minutes). Gradually add remaining 1 c. granulated sugar and beat until firm, glossy peaks form. Beat in confectioners’ sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and lemon extract. Sift a quarter of the flour mixture over egg whites and use a rubber spatula to fold until barely combined. Repeat with remaining flour mixture. Scrape into an ungreased 10-inch tube pan, smooth top, and bake until cake is springy and pulls away from the pan, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Now, make the curd. In a small bowl, combine ¼ c. lemon juice and gelatin; set aside. In a large bowl, lightly beat eggs. In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, butter, preserved lemon juice, zest, salt, and remaining ¼ c. fresh lemon juice. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water until warm. Remove from the

Remove from heat, stir in gelatin mixture, and immediately pour through a fine strainer into a wide bowl over an ice bath, stirring until mixture is cool. Chill for 1 hour. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Fold into the lemon curd and chill for another hour, until cold. To serve, unmold the cake. Using a serrated knife, halve the cake crosswise to create 2 layers. Dollop some of the lemon cream to cover. Replace cake top, dollop on more lemon cream and serve.

A DAISY FRESH AS

MARGARITA MEANS DAISY IN SPANISH. AND LIKE THEIR FLORAL NAMESAKES, THESE DRINKS ARE BOUND TO ADD FRESHNESS AND FUN TO ANY TABLE.

By PAUL HAGEN

Photography by STEVE HENKE

What do you do when a beautiful showgirl works in your restaurant and longs to enjoy a cocktail, but the only spirit that she can tolerate is tequila?

If you’re Danny Herrera, you mix that tequila with lime juice and orange liqueur and name the concoction in the girl’s honor. Sure this origin story for the margarita is likely fictional. But, like the drink itself, it has a certain zing that makes it worth repeating.

More likely, margaritas first kissed lips as part of the intense Prohibitionera mixers meant to mask the flavor of whatever spirits were available. But these cocktails have evolved to almost infinite variations. Mixologists substitute the tequila for smoky mezcal or swap in various other juices. Some add agave nectar for extra sweetness. Others wake the palate with spices and salt on the rim.

So, in the spirit of summer fun, we’ve gathered some exciting margarita variations, guaranteed to set taste buds tingling.

Rim your glass in salt. In a shaker, add ¼ c. watermelon juice, mezcal, Cointreau, lemon juice, mint/basil, and jalapeño slices. Fill with ice and shake until combined, about 1 minute. The longer you shake, the spicier it will be. Strain into your prepared glass. Top with sparkling water, if desired. Garnish as desired with a watermelon wedge and fresh herbs.

For a little extra dimension, add a splash of dry sparkling rosé to allow this cocktail to really sparkle.

SPICY CUCUMBER MARGARITA

FUN FACT:

The largest margarita in history was mixed to celebrate the opening of Margaritaville at The Flamingo in Las Vegas in 2011. This titanic tipple took 60 people 300 hours to prepare. “Lucky Rita,” as they named the singular beverage, offered an astonishing total volume of 8,500 gallons.
