“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

I

t seemed to me very appropriate to start this issue with a quote from one of Fitzgerald’s greatest novels. A new movie adaptation of it appeared recently and its release prompted me to read the book again after a number of years had passed. I think I first read it during summer break in high school. Reading was one of my favorite pastimes, in addition to playing euchre on the local YMCA pool deck with my friends, during the respite from school.

Ah…summer and reading. Seems they naturally go together.

We have some great reading for you in this issue. Each of our homeowners has an interesting story to tell about the history of their homes. Two have been lovingly restored and the other has been created with a unique nod to childhood memories. You’ll enjoying reading about them.

Summertime is grilling time too. If you’ve wondered about buying beef and feeling less guilty about it when you throw it on the grill, you’ll want to read the Garden to Table article and learn how to do that. You’ll even receive tips on where to go locally to buy some guilt-free beef.

Meals on the patio are always a part of Summer and local restaurateurs Chef Joe and Darlene Clarke adhere to that philosophy in the Wine & Dining feature. There are yummy recipes for you to read and try too.

Ever admire someone’s flowering vine running up and over a mailbox or across the side of their house? If you’ve wondered how they made that happen we can clue you in while you read and draw inspiration from the photos in the Ideas in Bloom feature.

We have another beautiful love story for you to read about in Labor of Love. The young couple featured has started out with what they consider to be a sign from above that their union was meant to be.

There’s a new feature too. We’re calling it Discoveries and this issue it highlights items that will enhance your garden or at a minimum your gardening experience.

Enjoy the issue. And let me know if you read any good books this Summer.

Greg and Christine Sloan

made the decision to exit the rat-race and reclaim a simpler life for their family in spring 2012.

Finding a charming neighborhood with Charleston-styled appeal, they decided to sell their large house across town and move to a cozier home that’s central to school and work, and offers a more relaxed routine.

- Read more of their story at verdae.com Hollingsworth Park offers a diversity of housing options priced from the $200s. The residential mix includes custom and estate homes to more modest single-family dwellings, townhomes and luxury apartments.

Desirable creepers and crawlers that won’t make you squirm Wr i t t e n b y Ly n n G r e e n l a w a n d A n n S p a r k m a n Photography provided

ormally when we think of things that creep and crawl we’re referring to nasty insects, snakes or a variety of other disgusting critters. Not so with this article. This is about the wonder of seeing a living green plant crawl and creep up and over a pleasing structure that beautifully enhances the landscape of the garden.

It’s really not at all a hard task to accomplish once you know the basics of training a vining plant or a shrub to form just the look that you want.

Thanks to Ann Sparkman of Martin’s Nursery, the following advice should get you started.

Creeping fig makes its way across the raisers of a staircase (opposite page, inset). Vines other than creeping fig can be trained to travel across the raisers of your porch steps. An unidentified creeper volunteered its way onto the raisers of this white brick, arched windowed home (right).

A true vine has a natural climbing habit – some cling (like ivy) but most wrap around whatever is holding them up. This means the homeowner must provide some form of support. This can be a fence, a piece of wood or a piece of plastic coated wire if not using the traditional trellis. Once the climbing pattern is established no additional help is needed for growth, but growth control may be necessary.

Upper levels are not exempt when a gardener gets creative when planting vines.

how to train a vine on a mailbox:

STAIRS TILE

1.) Plant vine as close to support pole as possible.

Visit our Showroom!

2.) Using plastic coated wire (similar to bread twist ties) tie longest runners to pole gently, not tightly.

3.) As more runners develop, tie them also until plant establishes wrapping pattern.

4.) Prune for height or width control as needed.

Pictured are examples of it growing across the exterior of a covered porch (left) and a columned arbor (above). Akebia (shown at right), sometimes referred to as Chocolate Vine, is a native of Japan. it has a five-leaf pattern and produces a delicate-looking lightly scented flower in the spring. this plant can be invasive and needs to be pruned regularly. it’s shown here climbing up the wall of a home’s port cochere.

how to grow a vine on a wall OPTION 1: Place a frame of chicken wire 2” away from wall and secure with a screw mount into the wall. Weave the vine through the wire. New growth will wrap itself around the wire.

OPTION 2: Run heavy gauge fishing line from an anchor in the ground to fascia board at the eave.

Wisteria, a popular choice for the southern garden, is a vigorous climber – shown here forming a perfect canopy for a water feature (left) and growing across the exterior of a concrete and iron gazebo (below). Versatile Creeping fig covers the base of a brick and stone pillar bordering a raised courtyard (very bottom).

p ESPALIER

if you choose to use a shrub against the wall to create a vine-like effect, this is called espalier. there is much more pruning and maintenance involved since you are basically training a plant to grow in a specific pattern contrary to its true growth pattern.

p

1.) Plant shrub as close to the wall as possible.

3.) Remove all branches growing opposite of your pattern.

2.) Select growth pattern and attach limbs to wall using leaded wall nails or U-shaped nails. You can also use heavy gauge galvanized wire pulled taut between eyescrews or bolts set into wood or masonry.

4.) Continue all growing season with removal of odd branches and with training new growth to pattern shape.

5.) Stay on top of the fourth step or you will quickly lose the espalier form.

Tupelo Honey Cafe Spirited Recipes from Asheville’s New South Kitchen

Wr i tten b y Eliz a b eth S im s wi th Chef B ria n Sono s ku s R ev i ew b y Jac k ie Will e y

H

aving grown up in the South, I feel a special connection to Southern cooking. So, deciding to try the Tupelo Honey Cafe cookbook is not an unusual event for me.

That I have dined at the restaurant in Asheville and that a Greenville location is supposed to open this summer makes it a timely choice for this review.

Southern cooks have been part of the popular farm-to-table movement for generations (well before it became trendy), and the Tupelo Honey Cafe follows the fresh-food movement. The cookbook also pays homage to the microbrewery explosion in Asheville with craft beer as well as wine recommendations for most of the dishes.

Southern cooking to me means flavor (I can think of no description of a dish more likely to break the heart of a Southern cook than “bland”), and the recipes from Tupelo Honey Cafe excel in their flavor combinations.

The recipes are simple enough for a novice, but the novel parings of flavors and tweaks on old favorites will delight even the most experienced cook.

From Coconut Sweet Potato Bisque, Cherry Apple ChowChow, Tomato Shallot Gravy, Blackened Catfish with Sunshot Salsa to Peach Cobbler with Candied Almonds, inspiration for a new twist on an old favorite is at hand with the Tupelo Honey Cafe cookbook. ah

Jackie Willey is a fiction Addiction volunteer. this book is available at fiction Addiction (www.fiction-addiction.com), greenville’s independent bookstore that is located at 1175 Woods Crossing road behind haywood Mall. the store stocks new and used books for children and adults, takes customer special orders, and hosts author events. for information, call 864.675.0540.

ward-winning Chef Joe Clarke and his equally accomplished sommelier wife Darlene returned to their roots in South Carolina after time spent honing their skills in New York City and Los Angeles. Once back in Greenville, they established one of the first of Greenville’s fine dining restaurants to consistently use locally sourced ingredients. They were at the forefront of a welcomed trend.

From day one of American Grocery Restaurant’s opening in 2007, the co-owners have provided a list to diners of the local farms and resources from which they purchase the ingredients that compose their seasonal cuisine.

Their delight in simply prepared foods with Southern flair is apparent in the three dishes Chef Clarke prepared for us to share with you.

Try your hand at creating the perfect roast chicken, a fingerling potato salad and a marinated kale salad. Then take a cue from the Clarkes and enjoy them on your patio.

Bon Appetit, y’all!

Wine&Dining Perfect Roast Chicken To cook the chicken properly, Chef Clarke suggests using a heavy-duty oven-ready skillet, preferably cast iron.

2-3 pound free range chicken Bunch of thyme Canola or peanut oil Kosher or sea salt and pepper, to taste Sauce, optional (recipe below) 1. Preheat oven to 475째. Place two tablespoons of oil into cast iron pan and place into pre-heating oven.

2. Meanwhile, wash the chicken, then generously salt and pepper the outside and inside of the chicken. Place all but a few sprigs of thyme into the cavity of the chicken and truss it with a threefoot piece of kitchen twine.

3. Once the oven is at temperature, carefully remove the hot pan and gently place the chicken, breast side up, into the pan. You should hear a nice sizzle.

4. Place the pan into the oven, arranging it so that the legs are facing the back of the oven. Set a timer for 40 minutes. It is not unusual for there to be a bit of smoke coming from the oven, especially when opened.

5. After 40 minutes, the skin should be nicely browned. Check the chicken with an insta-read thermometer.

It should read at least 155째 when inserted between the leg and the thigh. The chicken will continue to cook to 165째 as it sits.

6. Transfer the chicken to a plate or wire rack over a baking pan to catch the juices while it rests. Cover the chicken loosely with a piece of foil.

7. Carve the chicken by removing the breasts from the bone and then removing the thigh and leg portions from each side. Breakdown the chicken appropriately for the number of people you are feeding. Save the carcass and pick the remaining meat for chicken salad.

38 | a t hom e

FOR SAUCE Many times Chef Clarke will serve the chicken with fresh lemon, olive oil and a great hot sauce like Sriracha. However, you can also make a great pan sauce from the drippings.

1/4 cup dry white wine 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon shallot, minced 1 cup homemade chicken broth (low or sodium-free storebought can be used) Squeeze of fresh lemon juice 5 sprigs thyme, leaves only Salt and pepper, to taste 1 ounce cold butter

1. Drain off all but about one tablespoon of the fat from the drippings. Place the pan on the stove over medium heat.

2. Add 1/4 cup of white wine and deglaze all of the cooked bits from the bottom of the pan.

Once the wine has reduced down, add one tablespoon of flour and stir.

3. Add one tablespoon of minced shallot and cook for a minute.

4. Add one cup of low-sodium, all-natural chicken stock (or homemade). Stir to incorporate everything and allow the sauce to reduce for a few minutes.

5. Finish the sauce with a small squeeze of lemon juice, some fresh thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. If you would like a bit of added richness, swirl in a pat or two of cold butter. Any juices that have accumulated from the resting chicken should be added to the sauce as well.

Fingerling Potato Salad 2 pounds fingerling potatoes 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoon good quality Dijon mustard 3-4 sweet pickles 2 tablespoon sweet pickle juice Salt, pepper and cayenne to taste

1. Cover fingerling potatoes (unpeeled) with water in a medium saucepan.

2. Cook potatoes until done. Remove cooked potatoes and transfer to cold water to cool.

3. Once cooled, slice fingerlings into 1/4 inch rounds.

4. Combine all remaining ingredients in another bowl and mix thoroughly. Adjust seasoning as necessary

Vibrant Vistas

Masterpieces of American Landscape visiting Greenville Wr i t t e n b y Ly n n G r e e n l a w Photography provided by the Greenville County Museum of Art

W

ho has a landscape painting or drawing in their home? Just about everyone. Whether it’s been inherited from a grandparent and is surrounded by a gilded frame; a gift from a parent in a simple wood frame; drawn by your adorable five year old with no frame at all, we’ve all gotten lost in the views created by the landscape artist.

Beginning on June 19 and continuing on view through September 15, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston is providing us with the opportunity to feast our eyes on more than 60 works of 19th Century and 20th Century masterpieces.

Greenville is one of only two U.S. cities to have been selected to display these treasures.

From Hudson River Valley School painters Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church and Albert Bierstadt come works that depict the majesty of the American landscape. With travel being rather difficult and often times unpleasant during the 1800’s, the populace could feast their eyes on the landscape of our developing country vicariously. By viewing the

paintings of those brave enough to venture westward to paint frontier life and the vistas of the West their imaginations were stimulated.

Photography offered another avenue for depicting the great landscapes of our country.

Also included in the exhibition will be a selection of 20 black-and-white landscape photographs

by Ansel Adams and Edward Weston showcasing their iconic images of the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and the Sierra Nevadas.

We’re offering you a few examples of what to expect from what promises to be a “don’t miss” exhibition.

The orange door that welcomes visitors drove the interior, says designer Ginny Ezell, who selected custom-made star knobs. The living area’s bar was likely added in the 1960s, but fits with Frank Lloyd Wright’s appreciation for Asian style.

URNING INTO THE CIRCULAR DRIVE IN THIS LEAFY SPARTANBURG NEIGHBORHOOD, VISITORS ARE TRANSPORTED TO A TIME WHEN EISENHOWER WAS PRESIDENT, ELVIS PRESLEY HIT THE CHARTS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND A “BOMB ROOM” WAS A PRACTICAL HOME ADDITION.

Though this classic example of mid-century modern architecture is meticulous down to the last detail, Ginny Ezell of Regeneration Interiors also filled the home with the modern luxuries that today’s homeowners seek.

Originally built in 1956 for Winn-Dixie heiress Vera Parsons, the architecture is based on a Frank Lloyd Wright design. It is a rarity in the area, as the mid-century modern style was more common in the North and West than in the South, Ezell says.

“The hallmarks of the style are the openness, the elongated windows, the width of the eaves, being built very low with only one level, and being built to fit into the landscape rather than imposing on the landscape,” says Ezell, an interior designer who works in a variety of styles but has a personal interest in all things mid-century modern.

Since Parsons lived there, the home has had four owners who made various changes and additions, but Ezell and the current homeowners stripped away many updates to reveal the original design. the home’s entrance is classic mid-century modern, with a low awning over the porch and planters incorporated into the wall. the square planter, found by the Urban Planter, holds the homeowners’ 20-year-old jade plant. rain chains add copper accents and musical sounds during rainstorms.

The 8,800-square-foot home now has five bedrooms along with eight full and two half baths.

Outside near the pool is a 1,000-square-foot guesthouse that is being revamped to match the refurbished interiors.

The front walk welcomes visitors with the trademark expanse of windows stretching across the front. The planter incorporated into the front wall brings to mind one classic example of mid-century modern design: the Brady Bunch.

According to Ezell, most people aren’t familiar with the style, “but then I say, ‘Like the Brady Bunch,’ and they say, ‘Oh yeah!’”

The orange front door dictated the decor inside, where vivid accents punctuate a vast great room with soaring ceilings and natural light flooding in from all directions.

A wall once separated the dining area from the living area, and a large fish tank obstructed the area’s sight lines. Ezell had the walls removed, along with the ‘80s pickled wood floor, which was replaced with pecan.

SUMME R 2013

the dining room was once separated from the great room, but a wall was removed to keep the sunlight and sight lines open. though the floor beneath the piano would have been terrazzo originally, it was too damaged over the years and was replaced with pecan. few changes were made to the kitchen, where a marble floor was added in the 1980s and granite countertops added in the ‘90s. only paint and updated hardware were needed.

The original stone hearth, which now contains a gas fireplace but was once wood-burning, is flanked on either side by cabinets that were once woodboxes. Minimal accessories continue the Asian feel and allow the architecture and the views to remain the focus.

the bathrooms required minimal changes, keeping original cabinetry but updating countertops and sinks. the master suite offers his-and-hers bathrooms and closets, and ezell created a dressing area with plush seating and a vanity. two identical rooms were outfitted for frequent visits from the homeowners’ grandchildren.

“We tried to take out everything that was not original, and if we couldn’t, we tried to make it look and feel like it would have looked, but still livable and functional for a modern family,” Ezell says. “We lightened everything and brightened everything because the show should be what’s through the windows, not what’s in front of the windows.”

John Surratt, who worked on the home as a draftsman in 1956, says that although some glass was replaced, the windows look just like they did when he worked there as a young man.

Now retired, Surratt, who lives nearby, drove past the home one day and saw that it was being updated. Also a mid-century modern buff, he came in to take a look and was impressed with how the home was being returned to its original glory.

“It just fits,” Surratt says. “The flow through the house, and the fact that you just feel comfortable walking through it.”

The stone hearth is original, though during the 1980s or ‘90s it was transformed from woodburning to gas, leaving an open hole where the woodbox was. After seeing a Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit with cabinets flanking the fireplace, Ezell decided to bring the same look here.

Though the adjacent bar is not original, it was likely built in the 1960s and brought in an Asian influence, which Ezell says fits with Frank Lloyd Wright’s minimalist aesthetic. The bar also reflects the post-war era’s focus on entertaining.

Two bedrooms were decorated for the homeowners’ grandchildren using furnishings from their previous home. Each has a full bath with updated countertops and sinks, but with the original cabinets offering plentiful storage. “Builtins were very common during this time,” Ezell says. “A lot of people didn’t have a lot of furniture so you had a lot of built-in cabinetry and drawers.

Go back to the Brady Bunch again -- everything was built in.”

Two bedrooms were added during an addition in the 1970s or ‘80s, as well as a downstairs room that was transformed into a home theater.

It includes a massive screen with 3D capabilities, television and XBox, along with rows of plush seats that recline at the touch of a button. The adjacent snack room is equipped with a refrigerator and microwave.

From the curving pool – added in the 1980s but formerly a rectangle – the trademark wall of windows makes a mid-century statement.

Ezell says the entire home will be controlled via iPad, including music, lighting, security and more, and she thinks Frank Lloyd Wright would have approved. “He was an engineer at heart and was very cutting edge,” she notes.

The nearby master suite was part of the original home and is unique in that it includes spacious his-and-hers closets and bathrooms. Ezell turned a panic room into a second laundry room and made some updates to the bathrooms, but tiles, cabinets and mirrors are original. What was once a sitting room became a plush dressing area.

The office is full of original black walnut woodwork, including the stair rail, cabinet and shelves, but it had been coated with so much paint that it appeared plastic. An accidental nick to the rail showed that the wood was buried beneath, and extensive scraping and sanding brought it back to life.

Downstairs is a rec room with another huge stone fireplace, game tables and an adjacent “bomb room” that is a reminder of the political climate of the era The home features a spacious outdoor kitchen by the pool and is surrounded with rock landscaping, ponds and trickling waterfalls fed from a nearby lake. The 8.6-acre lot backs up to Cottonwood Trail, a 100-acre nature preserve, giving the home the convenience of downtown living in a pastoral setting.

The green surroundings are just one more reason the mid-century modern style is a great fit in this location. “All the glass is perfect for the views,” Ezell says. “This architecture and the setting just speak for themselves. I do whatever the client wants, but for me, you just don’t mess with this.” ah

(Preceding pages) the homeowners credit their builder – the Carver group – with bringing their vision to life using carefully chosen materials, from reclaimed brick and stone for the exterior to the doors salvaged from a 100-year-old home.

(Left) A long covered passageway leads from the garage and courtyard entrance to the main door of the home. (Right) the traditional-style shingle used on the home’s exterior is reminiscent of the lake house where kay stanley spent her childhood summers.

K

AY STANLEY IS NOT A PERSON EASILY ACCUSED OF IDLE HANDS. THE KANSAS CITY NATIVE WORKED FOR SEVERAL YEARS AS AN ART DIRECTOR WITH VARIOUS ADVERTISING AGENCIES IN HER HOMETOWN BEFORE PARLAYING HER HUSBAND’S IDEA FOR PERSONALIZED PICTURE FRAMES INTO A SUCCESSFUL SCRAPBOOKING SUPPLY COMPANY.

When Kay and her husband, Curt Seymour, couldn’t settle on the mountains or the sea as the setting for their second home, they did what any rational couple might do. They built two second homes – one at Daufuskie Island and the other at The Cliffs at Keowee Falls – at the same time. Even this didn’t prove to be enough excitement, and not long after selling the scrapbooking business and “retiring” to Hilton Head, Kay launched Spartina 449, through which she designs and manufactures handbags, scarves and jewelry.

“I told my husband it would be small and he could golf every day,” Kay remembers. “Now he comes in to work every day.”

Given this history, it’s not surprising Kay didn’t want to wait a decade or two for her new home at The Cliffs at Keowee Falls to take on the look of a lived-in 80 | a t hom e

lake house. Inspired by the Minnesota log cabin where Kay spent her childhood summers, she and Curt selected Summerour Architects out of Atlanta to design a new structure with an old soul, and tapped local builder The Carver Group to bring it to life.

“We built it to look vintage to begin with,” Kay says. “We don’t want it to feel dated in 10 years, and if it starts out dated you don’t have that problem.”

Some of Kay’s favorite elements from her grandparents’ cabin were the mismatched floors and exterior windows that migrated indoors as rooms were added on and porches were enclosed over the years. She credits Carver with helping her re-create this feel using a mix of new and reclaimed materials.

Exterior materials were used in the dining room to give it the feel of a former outdoor area enclosed. Kay so liked the look of one of the guest suites at the priming stage that she requested they go no further with painting. Fireplaces were built with broken, irregular brick. Even a pair of Sub Zero refrigerators is housed within what looks to be an old icebox.

“Homes in general when they’re first finished look great, but over time they either look worn out or they get better,” Carver says. “This is a great example of one that looks better as it gets a little age on it.”

Kay is especially enamored of the light fixtures. During the dreaming and magazine clipping phase that preceded the building of the home, she had several times run across the practice of converting old gas lanterns to electric lights but was never able to determine where they came from. She finally tracked down the artisan in question – an Atlanta woman in her 70s who travels in a van full of parts and pieces and assembles the fixtures from scratch.

Perhaps as consolation for his unplanned working retirement, the Lake Keowee getaway is “Curt’s house.” To that end, the home boasts a full shuffleboard table, front yard horseshoe pit, and a billiard room – not tucked away in the basement, but rather greeting visitors near the main entrance.

Kay did insist on cabinets for concealing the televisions when not in use to preserve the home’s nostalgic feel, but even she can appreciate the aesthetic of unearthing the man cave.

“That room is probably the most spectacular in the house,” she says.

Curt hosts an annual golf outing at the Keowee house, and Kay and the pup join him there about six times a year. Though Kay laments this is too seldom, they will soon be dividing time between yet another Hilton Head home currently under construction, so it’s not likely to get much better. ah

(Preceding pages) kay wanted the look of a family lake home that had been added to over time. this was accomplished by using exterior doors and windows inside, giving the feel of porches enclosed to create indoor living spaces. reclaimed heart pine beams, mismatched floors, and custom light fixtures built from old gas lanterns further enhance this idea.

TER FUL Makeover Vintage Tudor revived with designer’s new vision

A mix of unexpected materials in hues of silver and gold balances the stainless steel appliances. The upper countertop and both sinks are solid bronze, while the work surface is brushed limestone. Masters says people often shy away from this soft material because of its tendency to etch over time, a trait she finds endearing. The leaded glass doors are a nod to the original leaded sidelights flanking the front door.

S

ome folks get spooked by big, old houses, but Cynthia Masters believes any haints in her home are so happy to be free from the Technicolor-meetsshag carpet décor they endured for so many years that they mean her no harm.A native of Greenville who spent her middle, high school and college years in Columbia, Cynthia returned to the Upstate in 1988 after earning her design degree from the University of South Carolina.

She regularly traveled Rutherford Road while running errands for her first job with a furniture store on Pleasantburg Drive, and would admire 98 | a t hom e

the weathered Tudor Revival house she passed along the way.

“I would go by this house and say, ‘somebody needs to do something with that house,’” Cynthia remembers, never imagining that a decade or so later that somebody would be her.

Fast forward to the Spring of 2001, by which time Cynthia had launched her own design firm and was enjoying married life with husband, Lance, a dentist with a practice in Greer. A chance cut-through up Rutherford en route to a client’s home on Paris Mountain took her by that old Tudor. And it was for sale.

The Masters worked to preserve the original moldings and wavy glass windows wherever possible.

Replacements for moldings that couldn’t be salvaged were milled from the profile of the original.

“I almost had a wreck trying to get into the median, to get turned around, to get into the driveway, to call my realtor,” she remembers.

“I knew what I was looking for and I knew what I wanted, and I had always loved this house.”

Her love was real, but there were a few more realities standing in her way, namely a house in Greer and properties in Anderson and Charleston she and Lance had been unsuccessfully trying to sell. And then there 100 | a t hom e

was the matter of a recently purchased lot elsewhere in Greenville, and the architect already toiling away on the house plans.

Sometimes a girl’s got to throw caution to the wind: Cynthia spotted the house on Tuesday, looked at it on Wednesday, and made an offer on Thursday.

“We just took a leap of faith and it all worked out, all our pieces of property sold,” Cynthia says. “It was meant to be for us to have this house.”

Cynthia chose a round dining table – which she says is the ideal shape for a square room – to encourage guests to linger and enjoy conversation.

The kitchen renovation exposed a chimney that was once used to vent the coal-burning furnace in the basement. The Masters cut out a small fireplace, which has become a favorite gathering spot for guests.

“It was meant to be for us to have this house.”

the homeowners worked with graham kimak landscape designs to transform the backyard – once home to a menagerie of out buildings – into a lush oasis ripe for relaxed entertaining.

The house was designed by Willie Ward, an architect whose work graces many of Greenville’s historic neighborhoods, and built in 1925 for Walter E. Rush, who owned a car dealership on Laurens Road. Rush lived in the home until 1937, and over the next several decades the house changed hands several times. Cynthia promised Lance that should he agree to be the next owner she wouldn’t do a thing to it for a year.

“Before we closed I had my contractors over here,” Cynthia remembers, adding that her husband knew better than to believe her 104 | a t hom e

in the first place. “He knew there was no way I’d be able to live with orange shag carpet.”

Lance was a good sport, and his congeniality was repaid in spades with an evening-chilling, outdoor-grilling, whiskeyswilling patio that is the envy of all who enter there. And with five years of hard labor, but more on that later.

Structurally speaking, the house was in great shape. Double bricked, no sagging floors to contend with, all in all a solid, well-built home. But somewhere along the way the décor took a detour. For six years

A former coat closet became a tiny jewel box of a powder room on the main level. Cynthia chose to house the tank in the wall and install the smallest sink she could find to garner more space, adding a mirror to make it feel larger still. Guests duke it out over their favorites of the two guest rooms, both of which Cynthia has verified as guest-worthy by staying the night in them herself – as every good hostess should. The guest bathroom is equally inviting.

the Masters lived with robin’s egg blue kitchen cabinets and a previous owner’s inexplicable decision to drop the original nine-and-a-half foot ceilings to eight feet using acoustic tile. Draperies were in tatters. Bedrooms were painted in vivid hues of green and blue. The dining room was hot pink with big floral wallpaper. It’s no wonder the home languished on the market for months before the Masters came along – this diamond in the rough required more than a vision. It needed X-ray vision.

Cynthia set about on her mission to restore 106 | a t hom e

the home to its former glory. The first step was to move her design business, Panageries, from its downtown location into the house. That required 21 straight 15-hour days of stripping, scrubbing and hauling decades of detritus. For the next 18 months the couple lived in a former carriage house at the rear of the property while rendering the main house livable. Another flip-flop brought the Masters to the big house, and Panageries took up permanent residence in the carriage house.

Priority one for Cynthia was to preserve as much of the original architecture as possible. All of the

While the home does boast a rare-for-the-time walk-in closet, Cynthia designed a grouping of mirrored cabinets to create additional storage and give the master bedroom a larger feel.

The Tiffany glass motif from the front door is again repeated in the master bathroom – a vision in white marble. Renowned architect Willie Ward designed the Masters’ 1925 home.

windows, with the exception of a handful that were broken, boast the original wavy glass, and radiators still ward off winter’s chill. The quarter sawn oak floors are down to their last sanding, so Cynthia’s beloved Great Dane submits her nails to regular Dremel sessions to protect against gouges.

Lance sold his dental practice and spent the next five years stripping the moldings down to the raw wood and rebuilding them – a process that took 40 hours for each section of molding. He has since returned to dentistry.

The Masters were once downtown regulars, dining out an average of three times a week. But after 12 years of pouring their blood, sweat and tears into the restoration of their home, these days they prefer to have the party come to them. Pretty sure the party is okay with that. ah

The patio was designed with Lance in mind. An outdoor kitchen complete with refrigerator and television plays regular host to golfing buddies and provides the perfect setting for an evening cocktail.

Art of the Rose Rose Ball celebrates local art and roses while giving back to charities Wr i t t en by H ol l y Rol l i n s P h ot og r aph y pr ov i d ed

he Rose Ball – Greenville’s longestrunning charitable community event – is paying paying homage to art, its longstanding focus on roses and 14 local organizations during this year’s ball on September 20.

Every other year the Rose Ball raises money for charities that provide direct services to people in need. Since 1971, the centerpiece of the ball is rose décor – particularly local roses from area gardens. This year’s theme, “The Art of the Rose,” reflects the Greenville community’s great focus on the arts and the Rose Ball’s long-standing tradition of transforming the Poinsett Club, which has a rich history of its own, into a botanical showplace and perfect setting for dining, dancing and socializing.

“We will be incorporating art into the decorations and embracing the elegant history of the Rose Ball while featuring the incredible artistic talent in Greenville,” says Rose Ball Decorations Chairman Leighann Markalunas. “To kickoff the ‘Art of the Rose’ theme, a group of Rose Ball supporters recently painted vases for the living art displays at Vino and Van Gogh.”

This young lady demonstrated love and compassion beyond her years when she talked about a difficult situation.

This young girl sang me a song about the struggles and pain she has experienced.

This young man said he just wants a family that will love him. He dreams of being a mechanical engineer.

What do these foster children need most?

The short answer: They need your time and love.

They need consistent, positive role models and mentors. Thousands of children annually enter our state’s foster care system, because their homes are not safe places. And every year I photograph foster children with the hope that someone will take an interest in them.

Will you be part of the answer?

hile spending six years in a New York City studio apartment – hoisting myself to the uppermost shelf of a bookcase on top of my desk, prepping meals on an island formed from a dresser with a cutting board on top, and using a stepping stool every time I needed a scarf – making the most of a small domestic space became a personal norm. Now living back in South Carolina, I adore the ability to spread out a bit more … but I still like to get my hands on little corners, ledges and nooks where I see the need for some creative love and attention.

There is a small space in my home that I can’t resist climbing into at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a book. Just below our winding staircase lives a petite settee and the necessary accompaniments of lamp, coffee table and a soft rug that make this tiny vignette a joy to experience.

It’s what makes this tiny room below my stairs so fun – it is a finished space where least expected. There is something which we all feel correlating small spaces to necessity and familiarity.

On the wrapping ceiling below the stairs, we had each tradesman and artist who was a part of our home’s construction sign and date their trade. Everyone involved made their part of the work a piece of art;

therefore, we wanted them to have the opportunity to sign the house just as an artist would sign his canvas. This touch of humanity brings extra intimacy to the space.

While welcoming guests to the Symphony Tour of Homes inside my foyer last October, I was greeted by a gentleman who was excited to tell me that he was an architect from Brooklyn. We exchanged a few remarks on our commonalities of city living and favorite digs. Then he glanced around my living room and said, “It’s obvious you are completely obsessed with scale.” I don’t think I was supposed to take that as a compliment – and yet I did. As far as design goes, it may be my favorite I’ve ever received! He’d clearly lived in New York for a long time and I’d felt similarly upon returning to the South – everything seemed oversized, from the big slices of pie to the ever-so-common SUVs on the road.

When adoring the grandeur of a home or stunning building, remember that the faceted details are all parts to the whole.

The world grows smaller every day, from the city to the suburbs; we have hundreds of options at our reach. Wrap and treat your ceilings, bring your wainscoting up to the crown molding and enjoy the fact that we can purpose and beautify the entire house. The smallest details may turn out to be your favorite demitasse of design!

t’s not often that a couple reciting their vows do so with a natural rainbow overhead. But that’s exactly what happened to Katie Beth and Reeves Knight as they became a married couple under a gorgeous sky at the Lindsey Plantation.

Seems that this couple may be continually blessed to have a number of rainbows in their life. Right after their engagement, on the drive home to Greenville from Clemson to celebrate with family, they witnessed a double rainbow.

Let’s follow them through their special evening and hope that those rainbows continue to accompany them for many years to come.

128 | a t hom e

Another reason Katie Beth chose Lindsey Plantation was for its wide-open vistas, rolling hillsides and scenic mountain views.

And horses!

Katie Beth credits her loving father, Doug Durham, with not only walking her down the aisle but also for the majority of the wedding planning. She also gives accolades to “awesome friend, Mandy Smith” for her numerous contributions to the special day.

Reeves surprised Katie Beth with a fishing trip one afternoon while she was attending Clemson University. The fishing was fun, but diminished in comparison to the proposal that followed.

Reeves had planned ahead of time. Once he popped the question – and she said yes – friends emerged from the nearby woods where they had been taking photos and the celebration began.

The wedding cake, created by Margaret Coleman, had a prominent spot in the reception area of the stable. The guests had the unique option of chatting inside the stalls.

Without the presence of horses, of course.

Katie Beth pinned a “G” letterman charm to her bridal bouquet in tribute to her grandfather with whom she had a close relationship.

He was a Greenville High Red Raider fan who passed away in 2009.

What’s the Beef?

The omnivore’s dilemma and how to eat beef guilt free Written b y an d p h o to gr a p h y p r o vid e d b y Ja net t e Wes l ey

“RUN!” she screamed at me, and I ran!

We knew we shouldn’t be there, but we did it anyway. We climbed through the fence into the forbidden zone of the cow pasture, not realizing that sometimes there was also a big, feisty bull with the cows.

My cousin Lou Ann and I spent the summer on her grandma’s farm in Ohio – a foreign planet for 12-year-olds growing up in the 1970s – where we gathered eggs from the hens and watched a whitehaired woman iron aprons and pillowcases in the kitchen. We perched on silvery stools like princesses eating fresh eggs, biscuits and bacon.

Cattle were strangers to me. I saw them regularly on my plate, but I didn’t spend much time with these domesticated ungulates eye to eye, and I certainly never had them in my backyard. But recently, I did meet folks who do: Leland Gibson at Gibson Farms and Nancy Walker at Walker Century Farms, extraordinary small local farms now certified

by Slow Food’s Foundation of Biodiversity to participate at the Earth Market in Greenville.

One beautiful winter day, I visited the Gibson Farm, and Leland asked me to climb through the fence to cow-land again. I had reservations. The Black Angus cows blasted horns like tubas warming up for the high school band, and tossed their boulder-sized heads with strings of grass hanging like spaghetti from their muzzles. Leland didn’t just talk to his friends, Big Boy the Bull and his Boss Lady cow, he also scratched their backs and rubbed their heads. The

shadow of doubt melted and I trusted I was safe in Gibson green pastures. Suddenly I understood why in India cattle are considered sacred, a symbol of wealth, strength, abundance – a full, earthly life.

“About 8,000 years ago, the relationship between cows and man began with the revolutionary advent of domestication in Mesopotamia, the Indus River Valley, and Africa.

There were many possible candidates for the job but

only the cow fit the specific criteria humankind needed: not too flighty, breeds well in captivity, grows at a good pace, not aggressive, requires a low-maintenance diet. Our ancestors had chosen wisely: Cows provide just about all of our basic needs, from milk and meat to muscle.” (PBS Nature Holy Cow) Picture America, the beautiful, a golden prairie dotted with bison. Just imagine a scene from “Dances with Wolves” when bovine were essential to the ecosystem. Then, somewhere between the spacious skies, amber waves of grain and purple mountain majesties, the hamburger got lost in the “Dust Bowl” on its way through the golden arches, and beef became a notso-happy environmental nightmare.

Now our vision of cattle roams not, but instead is painted by films like “Food, Inc.,” where cows become victims of ill treatment, in enormous feedlots. Books, like Michael Pollan’s “The Omnivore’s Dilemma,”

demonstrate the relationship between food and society, once moderated by culture, now finds itself confused.

Clearly, the human omnivore and the bovine have found themselves in the middle of a beefy predicament. Tales of water pollution generated from manure flowing to streams and rivers, the use of antibiotics and growth hormones in feed, and the feed itself – vast quantities of genetically engineered corn bathed in a plethora of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides – are a bleak picture. Of course with all the fast food hamburgers Americans rush to consume,

Ways to Choose Beef-Guilt Free Choose beef raised 100 percent on pasture, not just “grass-fed” which can mean only a part of the life of the cow is spent on pasture. How do you know?

Ask the farmer directly. Go to the farm and see for yourself. It is not a scary experience and you won’t have to dive through the fence.

Choose beef raised 100 percent on pasture close to your home, eliminating as much waste as possible in fuel consumption by transportation. Buying directly from the farmer at farmers markets or direct from the farm also helps reduce waste.

Choose lesser-known cuts of beef, for example tongue or skirt steaks. Use hamburger when possible. This helps the farmer to sell the whole cow, not just the tenderloin.

Choose beef raised without growth hormones or antibiotics. This keeps it out of the soil as well as out of your body.

Choose beef that is raised on pasture without added chemical fertilizers; remember, cow manure is the best natural fertilizer already.

Waste less. Eat your leftovers. Remember, everything you throw away wastes valuable soil, air and water resources.

Eat beef in moderation. Ask about “Animal Welfare” and other farming methods. Be a conscious consumer.

GardentoTable it is inevitable that industry such as this is in demand.

As an advocate for a clean environment, even I could not propose that Americans give up their summer grilling, a deep cultural food tradition going back to Native Americans, and one which deserves a new image. Is the environmental and health debate only about beef cattle, or is it primarily about their diets, and is it about how we, the caretakers, process the product and then waste much of it? In order to create a healthy environment, cattle should be raised on diets primarily composed of pasture grass, their natural food, not a concentrated diet of grain, soy, corn and other supplements, and the welfare of the animal must always be held in highest regards.

The issue for the consumer is often complicated by the political interests and the dis-connection from our food at large commercial retail outlets, or grocery stores, and some restaurants. Although labels can help, they can also confuse.

Yet, there is another way to raise and consume cattle while actually helping the earth to be sustainable and healthy. We can purchase beef with good knowledge of how it was raised. We must choose our beef not only to satisfy our hunger but to personally know and appreciate and respect the farmer who raised the animal, and of course the animal itself, as well as protect the earth and future generations.

Your beef purchase does make a difference, one way or another. The restoration of our food system begins with people being concerned enough to buy directly from local farmers – “relationship marketing,” as Joel Salatin calls it, the way he urges in

140 | a t hom e Embassy_4thS_AHSumm13.indd 1

his book, “Holy Cows and Hog Heaven: The Food Buyer’s Guide to Farm Friendly Food.”

Getting to know Leland Gibson on his farm, I could indeed understand that he raised his cattle in an environmentally healthy

manner. “Green” describes him to a T. He was the recent winner of the S.C. Cattleman’s Association and Beef Council’s award for environmental conservation stewardship, yet he passed the credit to his dad, who managed the farm before him.

Gibson protected the streams on his property from effluvial excremental drainage, fencing the cattle a good distance away, an act swimmers, fishermen and visitors to Lake Hartwell, the Seneca or Tugaloo River or other waterways downstream might much appreciate.

Yet, the green also referred to the “other” farm products,

apply, although the breed is Devon Cattle, a small docile animal that is listed on Slow Food’s Ark of Taste as a rare and disappearing breed worth saving by raising them sustainably on family farms. In 1623 the first Milking Devon were brought to Massachusetts from North Devonshire,

England. In England, these cattle were highly valued for their production of both high-quality beef and rich milk used in Devonshire cream. In addition, they had a reputation as being very hardy and able to thrive on rough forage. Because of this practicality, the Devon became a natural choice for immigrants, and today it is a great choice for all-natural pasture-raised farming.

The Walkers care immensely for the earth – the farm has been in their family for over 100 years – and they care just as much about health. As a cancer survivor as well as a plant geneticist, Nancy can tell chef owned 400 E. McBee Ave. you how important it is to Near Publix know what you are eating.

You can ask her yourself at 864.271.2171 their small farm store on the @kitchenartsgvl property in Anderson, SC. The Walkers use rotational grazing methods, keeping the cows moving, to keep parasites out of the digestive KitchenArts_AH Summ13.indd 1 5/23/13 EAMLESS tract so that there is no need for antibiotics. Care is given to the height of the grass to prevent overgrazing, which keeps the concentration of manure away from streams. There is no need to apply other chemical fertilizers.

Beyond the farm, there is the processing and animal welfare to consider. To be a certified processor or a butcher is a trade that is not for the faint of heart. A traditional butcher must be able to handle animals prior to slaughter and to dispatch them quickly, safely and humanely. Thanks to

by ESIGN folks like Temple Grandin, an autistic doctor of animal science (see the HBO film by her name) and the Animal Welfare Approved certified program, the cattle PelhamArchitects.com can remain calm until

the Coastal Bermuda, Rye, Fescue and Lakota Brome grasses, and how they were maintained with techniques such as impact grazing on one field and rotational grazing on another. He often moved fences so the cattle ate fresh healthy grass, and eliminated the chance of parasites to develop, and therefore there was no need for medication. Rotational grazing allowed for a chemical free, naturally wellfertilized emerald glowing grass. As the first certified organic and animal welfare approved beef producer in South Carolina, he did not apply antibiotics, steroids or hormones, and all of his methods allowed folks at the Earth Market and other farmers markets in the Upstate to enjoy really great tasting all natural Angus, a melt-in-your-mouth beef eater’s experience that couldn’t be topped if their Scottish ancestors came back to Westminster themselves.

their last moments, and can be assured a respectful and painless end. So, it is important for the farmer to carefully select the processor who will finish his work correctly. Once an animal has been slaughtered, the carcass must be hung to bleed while the butcher skins it, removes the vital organs, and then “dresses” the meat, cutting it into sections for sale which reduces customers’ preparation time, a job most of us could not appreciate unless we have tried to do it.

When we experience the pleasure of sitting down to a roast beef dinner, most of us acknowledge the skills of the cook. Yet it is the farmer and the butcher who have dedicated more time to your meal, spending years raising the animal but also carefully trimming away about 50 percent of the product, as unwanted for human consumption. The other 50 percent can be used in leather goods, glues, pet food, gelatin, medicines, or other products such strings for your tennis racket or your child’s soccer ball.

Change is on the move now in the beef cattle business, and thoughtful consideration

is giving way to the large scale feed lots. This year the World Wildlife Fund helped launch the Global Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, an association of businesses and environmental groups, along with the National Cattlemen’s Association and JBS, the world’s largest beef producer, who have begun to “facilitate a global dialogue on beef production that is environmentally sound, socially responsible, and economically viable.” Would it not be possible to turn all that land used for growing GMO feed corn into grassy pastures and instead feed cows pre-colonial style?

In “Cows Save the Planet,” a new book by journalist Judith D. Schwartz, the author looks at soil as a crucible for our many overlapping environmental, economic and social crises. Schwartz reveals that for many of these problems – climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, droughts, floods, wildfires, rural poverty, malnutrition, and obesity – our ability to turn these crises into opportunities depends on how we treat the soil.

Where do cows fit in? She says, “Cattle, like all grazing creatures, can, if appropriately managed, restore land and help build soil. Rebuilding soil is only one aspect of this important, paradigm-shifting book. For example, land can suffer from undergrazing as well as overgrazing, since certain landscapes, such as grasslands, require the disturbance from livestock to thrive.” (Remember the American bison?) “Regarding climate, when we focus on carbon dioxide, we neglect the central role of water in soil – “green water” – in temperature regulation.

And much of the carbon dioxide that burdens the

atmosphere is not the result of fuel emissions, but from agriculture; returning carbon to the soil not only reduces carbon dioxide levels but also enhances soil fertility.”

Getting to know your cattle farmer or rancher face-to-face is the best way to understand what is in the beef. In Upstate South Carolina, so many opportunities abound. A full list of farmers markets across the state is available on the SC Department of Agriculture website (visit agriculture.sc.gov) and you can tour local farms by attending the annual Carolina Farm Stewardship

Association Farm Tour.

Of course, you can find both Leland Gibson and Nancy Walker, as well as other environmentally conscious producers, at the Earth Market in Greenville; this event takes place from 3-7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of each month through September in front of the Hyatt Hotel, 220 North Main St. For more details, visit slowfoodupstate.com. ah
