Legislators

Congresswoman Susan Brooks talks about her new position

By Christian Sorrell • christian@youarecurrent.com On Nov. 6, 2012, residents throughout the 5th District went to the polls and voted for a new representative. Susan Brooks, a Republican and Hamilton County resident, won the seat, receiving more than twice as many votes as her competitor, Scott Rieske. As a freshman Congresswoman, Brooks Brooks will be taking part in the 113th United States Congress that began last Thursday.

The week before Christmas, Brooks sat down with Current at her now-empty campaign office to talk about the move to Washington, being a woman in Congress, and replacing Dan Burton.

Current: You hear stories about different members of Congress sleeping in their offices, commuting from home to work every day, or simply getting a residence in Washington D.C. How are you planning to handle having to be at two places at once, both within the district and in Washington?

Brooks: I am going to be a commuter Congresswoman, meaning I will fly out on Mondays and come home on either a Thursday, depending on how late votes go, or on Friday and try to be home on most weekends. My husband is not moving with me to D.C., so I will be like other people who commute to work. I am renting a small studio apartment not too far from Capitol Hill. In fact, next week I am loading up the U-Haul, and my husband and my son are driving me out there. It’s a little bit like going off to college.

I think it will definitely be a huge change in our lives, but I think it will be manageable.

Current: You recently announced your committee placements: the Education and the Workforce Committee, the House Committee on Homeland Security and the House Committee on Ethics. What are you hoping to accomplish with these committees?

Brooks: Actually, the two committees that I did get on were both committees that I asked for. Because of my background at Ivy Tech Community College during the last five years, Education and Workforce was absolutely one of my top committees. Due to my time as a U.S. Attorney and the focus I had on homeland security after Sept. 11, Homeland Security was another committee that I had requested.

Ethics, interestingly enough, is something you are asked to serve on, you don’t request it.

I was asked by the speaker’s office to be on ethics and that ties in nicely with the fact that, on the campaign trail, I talked a lot about restoring confidence in Congress.

Current: With these placements, are there any specific issues that you are hoping to address?

Brooks: In Education and Workforce, because I’ve been very involved in the workforce training side of education, I think there are significant improvements that can be made in the www.currentinfishers.com

manner in which federal unemployment dollars reach the people who need training. I think we need to increase the amount of each dollar that actually gets to worker training. We have a challenge in our system when we provide people up to 99 weeks of unemployment without requiring them to get training. I believe there needs to be a requirement that people have to go get training, have to improve their skills or have to get involved in higher education rather than just sitting on 99 weeks of unemployment and going out and applying for jobs all the time. I think we need to up our game in this country in the level of skilled workforce we have because we are competing with countries that have just as skilled workers as we have.

Current: What can residents of the 5th district expect to see come back to the local level that you will be working on?

Brooks: We worked hard during the campaign to develop very good relationships with the mayors in most of the communities throughout the 5th District and with local and state legislators. I don’t think it’s my job to tell them what I am going to do for them. I believe they, and the citizens of the 5th, need to be telling me what they would like me to be a strong advocate for. Because I am going to be commuting and returning here on a very regular basis, I hope to have a very open channel of communication with the people in the 5th as to what type of initiatives they want me to focus on in

D.C. I’m always going to keep a focus on jobs, what brings jobs to the 5th and keeps jobs in the 5th, because if people have work, there is far less dependence on government assistance.

Current: You are the first Republican woman to be sent to the U.S. House of Representatives since 1959, with the previous woman being Cecil Harden of Covington, Ind. who served from 1949 to 1959.

Brooks: Yes, that’s right … sadly.

Current: Do you think that puts you in a unique position, at a disadvantage or do you not feel that it matters?

Brooks: No, it does. It does matter because Indiana is actually sending two women to the 113th Congress. We are two of only three women coming to Congress in the 113th Congress, only three women out of more than 30 freshmen which I think is very unfortunate.

I do believe that women are underrepresented in Congress considering that we are 50 percent of the voters, more than 50 percent of consumers that purchase products and make buying decisions in households. We need a much stronger voice in Congress. I want to be involved in encouraging and promoting women to consider running for offices at all levels.

The Commute

What to expect on Fishers thoroughfares in 2013

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Current in Fishers caught up with Fishers Director of Engineering Jeff Hill, as well as Town Manager Scott Fadness and Maura LeonBarber, director of public relations, at the end of December to find out what commuters should expect on the thoroughfares in 2013.

Project: Allisonville Road and 96th Street “Michigan Left” What to expect: Hill said if there were warm spells during the winter, crews might be out getting sidewalk work done. The contractors responsible for lighting and signals will be out in the winter continuing work, but the contractor responsible for the overall project won’t be back out until March.

The hard deadline for the project is in May. Project: 135th Place What to expect: Both the roundabout and connector between Ind. 37 and Britton Park Road are open. At 135th Place and Ind. 37 is a new stoplight that Hill and Fadness said should link most of the time with the stoplight at 131st Street. Hill said the light should almost always be green, in theory, until development at Fishers Marketplace increases demand.

Project: Roundabout at 106th Street and Crosspoint Boulevard What to expect: Fadness said the new roundabout was unlikely to be constructed in 2013.

He said the roundabout would be packaged with the new interchange and bridge over I-69.

That project won’t go into full swing until late 2014 or early 2015.

Project: Fall Creek and Brooks School Road roundabout What to expect: Work has already started at the intersection. Hill said trees had been cleared for utility relocation and water and gas line work would continue this month. The project also includes resurfacing Fall Creek Road from 96th Street to the bridge at the marina, with a total budget of $1.1 million. A HAWK Beacon crossing system for pedestrians will be built west of the roundabout, as well. Overall completion is set for the end of June in time for Blast on the Bridge on July 4.

Project: Trails initiative What to expect: Hill said in 2013 town staff was going to be identifying gaps in trails around town that could be completed in house. He said segments already in the right of way were going to be part of a list of projects for 2013, while projects that were more difficult or more costly would be identified for 2014 and years after.

Trail projects that can’t be handled by the town will be hired out.

Project: Adaptive Signal System What to expect: The system that would be installed for signals on 116th Street, including the ramps to get on and off of I-69, is meant to reduce queues and make improvements in staggering of green lights according to Hill is in the design phase so it can be a reality in the summer.

COMMUNITY Athletics / Volunteerism FHS athletic director recognized with national award

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com Fishers High School Athletic Director Jim Brown was recognized with a nationwide award last month by the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, a professional organization which supports athletic administrators.

Brown has 27 years of experience as an athletic director, and he was one of nine recognized with a Distinguished Service Award at the National Athletic Directors Conference in San Antonio, Texas, according to a news release.

This is Brown’s seventh year at FHS, having been one of the administrators brought in to build the athletic program right from the school’s start.

He said the most rewarding aspect of the job was seeing student involvement in the program grow each successive year.

“Every year we’ve had more and more (students) get involved in athletics,” Brown said.

Brown and Jon Miles are the athletic directors at a school with 19 head coaches and 63 assistant coaches.

He said when FHS was still new, the big challenge was hiring and working with coaches to set schedules. Taking on opponents with openings in their schedule sometimes created tough traveling conditions before games close to home could be arranged.

Even today, there remains something different to tackle daily according to Brown.

His responsibilities, in addition to the supervision of the coaches and assistants, include budgetary maintenance and development, buying and maintaining equipment and keeping on top of transportation and facilities for all of

Brown racked up 25 years of experience at Triton High School in Fairland before coming to Fishers, and he wasn’t just an athletic director.

He also served as a track coach, teacher and assistant principal.

“I accept this for anybody I’ve ever worked for because they’re a part of that,” Brown said.

“It’s just my name on it, but that name represents a lot of people throughout the state and throughout the country.”

Fishers-based filmmaker debuts ‘Wings for Maggie Ray’

By Dan Domsic • dan@youarecurrent.com One Fishers-based filmmaker is out to tell the story of a Hoosier some say was without fear.

“Wings for Maggie Ray,” a documentary by Philip Paluso, owner and writer-director at Medium Cool Pictures debuts on WFYI this Thursday at 9 p.m.

The film details Margaret Ray Ringenberg’s life – from her time on an Indiana farm to her days as part of the Women’s Air Force Service Pilots during World War II to a time later in her life when she was recognized as a valued trailblazer who helped prove women could be pilots.

WASP provided the American military with a small host of female pilots that flew new aircraft to airfields, points of embarkation and to boneyards throughout the U.S., as well as ferried other personnel – but the women who gave their time, effort and even lives for the war effort were not given the same benefits as American men who joined the services. One WASP class wasn’t even assigned duty before the program was shut down.

“There was an injustice done,” Paluso said. “There’s no way to sugarcoat that.”

The mission

Paluso, a veteran of both the news and video production industries, embarked on his mission to tell Ringenberg’s story after reading a short blurb about her daughter’s book.

He started going through literature, trying to find out how he wanted to tell the story.

Shortly before he picked up the phone in 2008 to call Ringenberg, she passed away after visiting an airshow and function.

Instead, he would call upon her daughter to pursue the story, and ultimately took quotes from books where her thoughts, memories and experiences live on today.

It would take Paluso approximately three years to pursue the story, jumping through hoops held by the Pentagon, digging through as much information as he could find and talking with folks who knew or were inspired by Ringenberg.

A self-funded venture, Paluso said friends in the industry www.currentinfishers.com

Meet Philip Paluso ★ Lived in Fishers for: Four months ★ Family: Wife, Sarah; Son, Roman (3 years old); Daughter, Celeste (22 months old); Son, Nicholas (30 years old); Daughter, Natalie (28 years old) ★ Favorite movie: “Sunset Boulevard,” if he can only name one ★ Favorite director: John Ford for old Hollywood, Ron Howard for new Hollywood ★ Over-all favorite project: Blue Man Group DVD called “The Complex” helped and contributed to the production as they became attached to the story.

Capturing a character, telling the story

Paluso draws on interviews with Ringenberg’s family, retired USAF pilot Maj. Jackie Fleming and active pilot Lt. Col. Nicole Malachowski and others to tell the story of a girl that got her first plane ride by chance from a barnstormer landing in an Indiana field.

She became so enamored with flight, she told her dad that’s what she wanted to do – at a time when that was out of the ordinary. And he supported her.

As part of WASP, she flew planes that were new and old, some in danger of dropping out of the sky. Of the 1,078 WASPs, 38 lost their lives in the line of duty, and because they were not given Current in Fishers

the same stature as enlisted soldiers, were not given military honors at burials.

“Wings for Maggie Ray” delves further into her career, detailing her exploits as an instructor, pilot and more after her service was up. By the end of her lifetime, she logged 40,000 flight hours – a Herculean feat for any pilot.

Paluso said she became the pilot of choice for Senators Dan Quayle and Dan Coats for some time.

Shortly before she passed way in 2008, she finished third in the Air Race Classic, formerly the Powder Puff Derby, a race across the states.

“She was fearless,” Paluso said, “And she wasn’t going to get rattled.”

For the full “Wings for Maggie Ray” story, tune into WFYI on Thursday at 9 p.m. for the hour-long documentary.

Opinion

Colts Strong It is our position that the Indianapolis Colts earning an AFC playoff berth is the feel-good story of the year. What started out as a season full of controversial player and management changes seemed all but doomed when new head coach Chuck Pagano was diagnosed with Leukemia early in the season.

Immediately, fans put aside any animosity and Payton Manning withdrawal to channel their positive energy toward the healing of Coach Pagano. This ground-swelling effort took the form of the “Chuck Strong” campaign. The Colts organization led the way supporting blood drives, fundraisers and education efforts on Leukemia – complete with shaved heads in an empathetic sign of solidarity.

Offensive coordinator/interim coach Bruce Arians, a cancer survivor, boldly vowed to extend the season to allow the return of a healthy Coach Pagano. Thanks to the outstanding efforts of Coach Arians, an emotionally-charged team led by rookie quarterback Andrew Luck and a dedicated fan base, the promise was fulfilled. Not-to-be forgotten are the accomplishments of General Manager Ryan Grigson who seemingly hit all the right buttons at all the right times.

Among the dark clouds cast on 2012 by economic woes and national tragedies, thanks to the Indianapolis Colts, the game of football has warmed our hearts.

Hey, Washington: It’s the spending, stupid!

Unintended intentions Commentary by Terry Anker

As Washington continues its financial debates, we are befuddled by our sophisticated “adult” methods of problem-solving. We say one thing while doing another. We do one thing while saying another. Of course, these paradoxes are driven by all manner of constraint – time, money, skill and even direct self-deception.

Why do we encourage folks in public prison to read the Bible and attend church but prohibit them from doing the same while attending public schools? Why do we forbid ourselves from actions that would atrophy and spark dependency with wild animals in public parks while we fail to do the same to protect millions of able-bodied Americans trapped in the death-spiral of a life on the public dole?

As a college student decades ago, I visited Mexico and first encountered urban poverty.

Yet, I was admonished by the chaperones to avoid giving money – even the smallest amount – to the scores of children begging on the streets. To be compassionate (and make myself

feel good) by tossing a few bucks into the basket would, I was told, create incentives, keeping the children out of the free Mexican education system and ensuring poverty for generations to come. If I indulged my instinct to ease the perceived suffering, then I was actually perpetrating a much greater harm. They instructed, give to institutions not to people! Were there cases where an individual child was in real need? Of course – human suffering is a part of being human. Yet, could I, in attempting to assuage the pain of one, actually lead to the pain of many?

In all the season’s greetings and all the spending, it remains important that we measure our generosity by outcomes as much as by intentions. But, can a generous intention ever be bad with the unintended consequences made not pertinent?

Current in Fishers

We’re sure you’re as tired of reading this as we are of writing it: The GOP caves in, again.

As everyone knows, the so-called “fiscal cliff” was “avoided” by a typical, kick-the-can-downthe-road approach by our legislative giants in Washington, D.C. Instead, we should kick those “leaders” out, starting with John Boehner (R-Ohio), speaker of the U.S House of Representatives, who continues to try to compete with President Barack Obama on who can lead the least. We say they’re both winners in that department. We’ve often said that the GOP should just shut down, as only late-night comedians would miss the party. However, we think a better approach for the nation is to shut down the Democratic party, leaving the GOP as is, which guarantees the existence of a liberal party.

We then create a conservative party, which can help legislate common-sense solutions to our fiscal problems. Hey, Washington: It’s the spending, stupid.

••• We trust you had a wonderful holiday season and have returned to the normalcy of everyday work and life. At least we hope that’s the case.

As the calendar page has turned, we’re looking for opportunities at Current to tell you more of what you need to know about your community.

And, as this is your newspaper, we still have the door wide open to your suggestions. If you funnel everything to info@youarecurrent.com, we’ll make sure it gets into the proper hands.

••• Certain holidays, as you might know, bring a shift in our delivery day, so with the approaching Martin Luther King Day (a Monday postal holiday on Jan. 21,) Current will deliver on Jan. 19.

Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensical laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In Mississippi, private citizens may personally arrest any person that disturbs a church service.

Opinion

Bang for your buck Commentary by Dan Domsic

I’ve spent a lot of time asking town organizers what their plans are in 2013.

Now that I’ve chatted with town officials and so forth, I want to know what you, the Fishers residents, are expecting from your government in 2013.

Fishers is a huge community with a lot of resources at its disposal. Everyone knows how insane the growth has been in the past, and it seems, at least with the schools, it’s been a battle to accommodate the hustle and bustle.

Even with its 80,000-plus residents, there are parts of Fishers that still seem like the country, with trees, not development, lining the major thoroughfares. It still has a peaceful feeling in some areas.

The town continues on major projects. Road work rolls forward. Economic development deals are pursued.

My question for Fishers residents is simply this: Do you feel that your tax dollars are being spent wisely?

I’m from a small, sleepy bedroom community that is a quarter of Fishers’ size. Even when I lived there on a consistent basis, I rarely saw major projects going on.

Fishers has the coffers to do big things – but do you think they’re necessary – the revitalized

downtown, the exit at 106th Street and more?

The new exit alone costs the town $8 million.

I’m not asking you to be solely critical. I’m asking because I want to hear a variety of perspectives.

I recently had one reader write to me because at a recent open house for downtown redevelopment, there were residents, as well as one town councilor, upset that the event was not advertised well – leaving a feeling that the town isn’t really looking for input from the average taxpayer. To be fair, town officials would disagree.

When I wrote the story, I felt the important points of the meeting were covered and that I got what I was looking for – perspective from residents. When space is at a premium, I have to make decisions about which details to include in each story, and that was one detail that didn’t make it in the story. That was the kind of extra perspective I’m looking for.

Send me a response to my questions, and I’ll run it as a letter-to-the-editor or even in this column, if space allows. Better yet, visit me at my coffee hours on Tuesday at Hearthstone Coffee House & Pub from 3 to 5 p.m.

New Year’s resolutions – again Commentary by Danielle Wilson

I’ve made it another year, and per my usual M.O., I will now share with you, my adoring public, my New Year’s resolutions. I first did this in 2009, and while a bit frightening to share one’s goals with a few thousand strangers, I found I did a much better job of actually meeting some of those goals that year. 2012 was no different, and though I never got around to painting the family room and still didn’t spend as much time at night with my kids as I’d hoped, I was able to finally get that book published (still available for the incredibly low, low price of $14.95 at www.danielle-wilson.com!) I also found the patience to ignore the pig sty that occasionally poses as our house. So here’s the list for 2013 ... please feel free to mock, judge, and place bets at my expense.

1. Paint the family room. We have now been in our home for three winters, and yet our main floor living space is still a bright shade of sun-shiney yellow. (Maybe I don’t want to be happy this morning!)

Do I fear commitment, or am I just plain lazy? Perhaps both, but this baby is going atop the list in 2013.

2. Swear less. I make this a resolution every single year and rarely see any progress. I admit to a potty mouth, but can’t seem to clean it up. So, damn it, I will try yet

again, for the sake of my children and Baby Jesus.

3. Make new friends. Doo is always encouraging me to be more social, though I truly am happy most nights sitting in a comfy chair with a good book. This year I’m going to squelch that anxiety that creeps up on me whenever I enter a new social environment and actually force myself to meet people! I don’t want to end up a lonely geriatric with cats, no matter how delicious the smut Nora Roberts turns out.

4. Appreciate my children for who they are, especially my oldest daughter. I frequently find myself critiquing everything from her hairstyle to her clothing choices, and generally for no reason other than I’m in a bad mood. She’s beautiful and interesting in her own way, and I love that she is confident enough to steer away from the mainstream.

5. Drink less soda. I’m hoping to obtain my caffeine fix through more natural channels like tea and Lindt truffles.

Happy New Year to you, and good luck with your own resolutions! Peace out.

Frankenweenie • PG, 86 minutes Commentary by Chris Lloyd As a filmmaker, Tim Burton’s mostly been working on reanimation projects lately – taking old movies and making them rise from the dead as remakes crammed with computer-generated imagery. The results have been up and down, generally scoring at the box office but leaving lovers of his earlier work (I count myself) feeling disappointed.

If “Frankenweenie” has a fresher feel than most of his recent movies, that’s because it’s a remake of his own short film.

The original was live action, a black comedy about a boy who zombifies his pet pooch using Frankenstein-esque science. The spiffy new version is stop-motion animation, which suits the material well – a mix of heartfelt pathos and creepy-crawly horror movie elements.

Victor (voiced by Charlie Tahan) is crushed when his beloved dog Sparky is, er, crushed in a car accident. Indirectly inspired by his eccentric science teacher, Victor jolts the canine alive with electricity. But then the other kids in the neighborhood discover the trick, and soon the whole town is overrun with zombie pets.

Despite the subject matter, “Frankenweenie” is sweet-natured and should be suitable for all but the smallest children. And adults will enjoy the references to classic horror creatures, especially the classic Universal Studios menagerie.

Which filler will benefit my needs?

Commentary by Barry Eppley Q: I am confused about all the different injectable fillers. What do you think of the benefit of the filler Sculptra versus something like Juvederm for facial aging?

A: Injectable fillers do have a role for some patients in the treatment of facial aging. However, it is very important to differentiate the ways injectable fillers are used. That distinction makes a big difference in which type of injectable filler is most appropriate. I divide injectable facial rejuvenation into two categories; spot and global facial rejuvenation. Spot rejuvenation includes such areas as lip enhancement, softening nasolabial folds, or filling in orbital tear troughs. Given the low volumes of filler needed

and sensitivity of the tissues injected, any of the hyaluronic fillers (such as Juvederm) may be used. Global, or volumetric, facial rejuvenation is different because it adds soft tissue volume to fill out the face, re-inflate it, and create a ‘lift.’

Given the volumes needed, the hyaluronic fillers are a bit cost prohibitive. This is where Sculptra comes in because it is a better ‘volumizer’ based on the way it is administered, works and persists, even though it takes a series of injections to create the desired effect.

Dr. Eppley is an Indianapolis board-certified plastic surgeon.

Business

Move the needle: Habits Commentary by CJ McClanahan

Have you ever dealt with a routine challenge and thought to yourself, “Didn’t I deal with this exact problem last week?”

Of course you have.

In fact, after you have been in business for a few years, chances are good that you get into a fairly predictable routine each week. Unfortunately, even though you see similar challenges week after week, you devise a new way of dealing with them each and every time.

Consider the following scenario: A customer has just called and complained that there is a defect in your product or service. The staff member who answers the phone deals with the problem but never communicates the solution to anyone else. Next week, a different customer calls with the same defect and the phone call is taken by a different staff member.

Guess what happens? That’s right, another member of your staff takes time dealing with a problem that had been solved a week earlier.

Now, keep in mind that this sort of scenario takes place in every facet of your business - sales, marketing, operations, customer service, accounting, shipping, etc. In other words, you and your staff spend a significant amount of time and effort trying to reinvent the wheel each and

every week.

This loss of productivity (in addition to a fairly high level of frustration) is taking a significant toll on the bottom line.

So, how do you stop?

Like most issues facing entrepreneurs, the answer is intellectually simple, yet most owners struggle to implement the solution.

Here goes (drum roll please …) - Buy a 3-ring binder and write the word “Operations Binder” down the spine. Next, create a table of contents that mirrors your business. Typical headings include Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance, Customer Service and HR. After you have decided on the main headings, you then carefully consider each of the tasks that needs to take place in each of these categories and then document the steps necessary to complete each task. It really is that simple.

As with most things in life, intellectually speaking this is easy. All you need to do is choose to execute.

Choose wisely.

Out of context Commentary by Mike Colaw

Why do I still love Jeremiah 29:11 so much, even though it is so often wrongly used out of context?

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”

The other day my youngest child was in the car and wanted out. The snow-covered ground in the parking lot intimidated my cold little girl.

I looked at her and reached out my arms and said something like this, “Baby girl daddy’s got ya! You will be just fine.”

Pretend we could fast-forward 80 years into the future. Say my little girl is now an elderly woman sitting in a doctor’s office and has just heard a bad medical report, her frail body slowly decaying.

Let’s say she sits in the room and decides to HATE her long-deceased father because he didn’t fulfill his promise that she would be just fine.

Now that’s silly. No one would expect my specific promise in a specific situation to be used in all circumstances in her life. Yet, we do this with God all the time.

There is no doubt one of the most abused scriptures in the Bible is Jeremiah 29:11. Bible scholars know there are sections of scripture that were written to all people at all times and

scripture written to a specific group of people for a specific reason. Jeremiah 29:11 was written to the Hebrew exiles out of Babylon promising they would one day receive God’s perfect peace, or “shalom” in their homeland.

It didn’t promise everyone in all of history would be healthy and live a long luxurious life.

Those who take specific Biblical promises and apply them to situations they were never intended can accidentally cause great frustration when God appears not to fulfill the misused promise.

I have had numerous conversations with people who have given up on God because he didn’t fulfill a promise they assumed for themselves as a result of unknowingly misusing Scripture.

So why do I still love Jeremiah 29:11? Even though it was written for a specific reason at a specific time, it declares the nature and heart of God! As I dive into the New Year, I challenge you to adopt the nature of God, not just random Biblical promises about material things or social positions.

Let’s live the nature and heart of Christ! Make your resolution a mirroring of Christ’s heart.

Little changes go a long way in a cosmetic kitchen remodel Commentary by Larry Greene Original Kitchen: This client came to us wanting to update the look of her small kitchen.

Built in 1994 and located in the Saddlebrook South subdivision in Indianapolis, the home’s original floor plan still worked well for the homeowner. However, there was a need and available space for a bit more storage.

“It was time to remodel the kitchen. It needed an update, and things were looking tired. I wanted a purely cosmetic change, but needed more storage too,” the homeowner said. “With a tiny kitchen, that extra storage was the one thing that was missing. I love kitchen gadgets, and I needed more room to store them.”

Cosmetic Updates: “At first, I was looking to just change the countertops and the sink, but the project grew from there,” the homeowner said.

The final design called for laminate countertops in a Milano Quartz color for the main surface, and Tan Soapstone for the raised bar. A new sink and appliances were installed, as well as xenon undercabinet lighting. New canned lights increased the ambient and task lighting of the kitchen.

A new tile backsplash was installed with Sandlewood – Monterey Amalfi tile in a staggered pattern and a linen-colored grout. “The backsplash made a big difference in the appearance of the kitchen. The tile gives it more dimension, and I like the brick look.”

Matching Existing Cabinetry: Unfinished red oak cabinets were installed and stained to make them look original to the space. According to the homeowner, “You cannot tell that the new cabinets were not there from the get go.

I liked my old cabinetry and I wanted to keep costs down. Adding new cabinets that matched worked very well.”

By balancing the design elements offered by the existing space with new materials and storage options, this cosmetic remodel was a costeffective way to give the client an attractive and functional kitchen.
