Noblesville High School teacher’s passion for craft earns honor

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com

Noblesville High School music teacher Bethany Robinson had no idea what was in store for her when she sat down in a faceducation ulty meeting last month.

During the meeting, it was announced that the district’s first Teacher of the Year in approximately 30 years would be presented.

“I realized one of the representatives from Noblesville Education Foundation was actually sitting at our table with a camera,” said Robinson, jazz director and assistant band director.

“We were sitting as a department at a table and I kept thinking ‘I bet this colleague won it or that one.’ I could name you 10 teachers that I work with that I’m so impressed with their work. It was absolutely shocking and really cool and really humbling. It’s a huge, huge honor.”

As part of her award, Robinson, who has been teaching at NHS since 2005, received a trophy and has had her name engraved on a plaque that will be on display in the Educational Services Building on River Road in Noblesville. The Fishers resident also was given the loan of Chevrolet Corvette for the weekend by Hare Chevrolet.

“Bethany is recognized at NHS as a master of her craft,” Principal Jeff Bryant said. “She doesn’t just teach jazz. She lives it. It’s a passion that she is constantly working to improve. She recognizes the need to model the type of learning and growth that she is asking of her students.

We are fortunate to have her at NHS and, as her

principal, I’m looking forward to working alongside her for many years.”

Bryant also praised her energy and commitment to students and her work.

“Bethany provides endless opportunities for students to showcase their talents to others outside the walls of NHS,” he said “She is constantly accepting invitations, and seeking opportunities, for her students to perform in the community and at special events. She allows her students to tell their story, and the story of NHS, through their talent and passion in jazz.”

Robinson, 34, established a jazz combo three years ago.

“We brought in college professors and professional musicians who I’ve made connections from my own playing in Indianapolis,” she said.

“I’ve just contacted performers with different strengths and asking them to come in and talk to my students.”

Earlier in the year Robinson was named Jazz Educator of the Year by the Indianapolis Jazz Foundation.

Robinson, who plays an upright and electric bass, plays in a jazz combo called Blue Door and Nickel Plate Jazz Orchestra, which is a collection of professional and band directors in the Fishers area. She plays with singer-songwriter Sarah Scharbrough and Shed Zeppelin and at her church.

She said, “I think being versatile in a lot of different genres has really helped me to give students the tools to play in a lot of different situations musically.”

Boy, do you ever despair that the world is going crazy and people don’t care about each other? I do our neighbors almost every day after listening to the news. But hold on- I’ve got an antidote for you!

Local businesses, churches, nonprofits and others come together every summer for the SERVE Noblesville week. This year it is from June 24 to 27, and it will be crazy-busy with wonderful people serving each other. They are all dedicated to “connecting compassionate neighbors.” In four days multiple teams will: • Partner with Habitat for Humanity to build two homes on Cherry Street.

• Partner with Keep Noblesville Beautiful to beautify over 10 homes along Hannibal and Division, as well as spruce up the Noblesville Post Office.

Special thanks to the 40+ Helmer Scientific employees for helping with this!

• Repair 17 homes for at-risk families.

• Provide 50 scholarships for a Spring Hill Day Camp at White River Church with the help of a grant from the Indiana Department of Child Services.

• Provide hand-crafted blankets and clothes for local and international groups.

• Spruce up a nursing home, school, and the Boys & Girls Club.

• Hold a Community Giveaway, Blood Drive, and Health Hub event on Saturday, June 27 at the Boys & Girls Club from 9 a.m. to noon.

• And finally, teens will be “Sweeping the Square” Friday to thank downtown businesses and prepare for the July 11 Street Dance.

Now, don’t you want to be a part of this movement? They need A LOT of volunteers to make the event a success. All you have to do is log on to servenoblesville.com, click “Registration & T-Shirt” at the top of the page, and sign up for a project. Pick a couple of hours, or an entire day, but please sign up. It is the best antidote to a crazy world that I know of.

LIMITED–TIME OFFER ENDS JUNE 28th

Archery range opens for county

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com

On June 6, many got to experience onetime free gear rental and shooting at Koteewi Range Sport and Archery now open Center, 22735 Essig Ave., Noblesville. They also had the chance to participate in numerous opening activities, including a free rock wall climbing and watching performances by well-known archers Randy Oitker and Frank Addington Jr. Oitker holds a Guinness World Record in hitting six targets with six arrows simultaneously with one shot. He did a performance attempting to break his own record at the Koteewi grand opening, but due to the wind, he only hit five of the targets. Olympic medalist, Rick McKinney, was also on-site and signing autographs.

The archers provided information and did demonstrations for the public to watch.

“I want to be able to promote the sport of archery to the youth and to welcome them to this brand new, wonderful facility,” Oitker said.

A traditional ribbon cutting was swapped by colored balloons being placed on a large archery target. A variety of archers, including Oitker, McKinney, Addington Jr. and an array of city officials, shot arrows at the balloons to burst them and signify the official opening.

“Grand opening day offered free shooting and rental equipment that was open to the public,” said Don Nicholls, Hamilton County Parks and Recreation’s resource development specialist. “We want to introduce novices and skilled archers as well to this range and let

them know all the amenities it has.”

There are over 90 ranges with covered platforms, and the range is also equipped with 33 lanes of 3-D shooting in the woods with targets.

“Bow hunters are able to get in practice before their hunting season starts,” Nicholls said. “They will be able to shoot in a range with terrain and the type of situation they will be in while hunting.

A pro-shop is also available at Koteewi, and it provides equipment, bow-stringing, archery education classrooms and more.

However, the grand opening of Koteewi Range is just the beginning of bringing more outdoor activities to Noblesville.

“Koteewi Range is really just one large piece in the puzzle that will be Strawtown Koteewi Park,” Nicholls said. “Now we are expanding the offerings of the park to include amenities and features that I think will draw public not only from Hamilton County, but from central Indiana.”

Nicholls described the amenities as including the newly established Koteewi Range Sport and Archery Center, a sledding hill, horse stables open for public use and over eight miles of multi-use trails.

Nicholls said those amenities should be available to the public within one to two years.

The Koteewi Range is available to all skilllevels of archers, although a short safety class beforehand is required. The range is the largest facility in Indiana for sole archery use.

“It’s a great park,” Nicholls said. “Koteewi is a real gem.”

An improved redevelopment plan for the City of Noblesville passed its final test at the Common Council meeting June 9, allowing for the establishment of the Rivercouncil front Redevelopment District.

The district stretches from just west of Westfield and River Roads to 10th Street downtown and hopes to see the construction of more businesses in the near future.

“The creation of the Riverfront Redevelopment District will help further the City of Noblesville by removing barriers for development,” Noblesville Economic Development Specialist Alaina Shonkwiler said.

It will not only expand the city’s tax base, she said, but also allow for more dining and entertainment venues.

The redevelopment area was originally created in 1989, City Attorney Mike Howard said, but the plan was amended this year to include the acquisition of land for the Federal Hill Commons and BlueSky projects, which the council already approved.

The establishment of the district costs no money from the city, though the completion of district’s two big projects will cost the city

about $9.7 million in the next two years.

In addition to new establishments, the creation of the district includes the possibility of more restaurants serving alcohol.

Indiana communities typically hold a limited Westfield Rd. number of alcohol licenses, which are determined by population numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Noblesville author makes entry into fiction writing

By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com Chris Clouser’s love of writing has led him to be a published author.

However, his latest book is quite different. The Noblesville resident’s first three books are non-ficcover story tion while this is one is in the adventure genre.

“The original reason I wanted to do something along these

lines is I wanted to publish a book my son might like or my daughter might like as opposed to non-fiction, which they don’t really read,” said Clouser, a finance director for Anthem.

“My son, in particular, likes the genre, it’s an action adventure type novel.”

The book “Rojo” is set in a fantasy world in a Roman-type city with a military presence. The book, which was self-published in May, is the first of what Clouser plans as a three- to four-book series, called “The Protectors of Austeria.” He says

he isn’t sure about the length of the last book and whether he needs to make it into two.

“It’s taking a well-known type setting and constructing the story around that,” he said.

Clouser said it has taken about two years to produce the series, and he still needs to do edits, but the writing is basically completed.

His son, Jason, who will be a Noblesville High School junior in the fall, did a project on the book for his English class.

Clouser started writing about 15 years with his first book coming out in 2004. His previous books were “The Midwest Associate: The Life and Work of Perry Duke Maxwell,” which is about a golf course architect. He followed with “A Month of Saturdays: A Guide to Indiana’s Public Golf Courses,” and “Trophies and Traditions: The History of the Big Ten Conference.”

Golf was once a passion for Clouser, who played on his Frankton High School golf team.

“I had an injury a couple of years ago, and I just haven’t been back out,” Clouser said. “I got tied up with life with two kids and a wife.”

And any free time has gone to writing, where he spends about five to 10 hours a week.

Clouser said writing the fiction series has been enjoyable because it has been a change of pace for him.

“Non-fiction is a little easier because it’s all facts and figures,” he said. “It’s just establishing a story. With this you have to come up with the ideas and embellish on those and develop a storyline without, hopefully, any holes in it. The original intent was to build a big enough story to span over several books.”

Clouser said while his books have been profitable, he’s not been writing for a huge financial gain.

“If I haven’t felt like I could put some sort of passion into it, I just couldn’t do it,” Clouser said. “I’ve tried to do other books, and I get past the early stages, and they don’t pan out because I don’t have an attachment to it somehow. The books I’ve done, it seems like I have something personal in there.”

book signing Clouser will have a book signing at The Wild Bookstore, 884 Logan St., Noblesville, on July 3 from 5 to 9 p.m. The book also can be purchased at The Wild, Amazon.com or by emailing christopherclouser1970@gmail.com.

Hashing out the summer agenda

F RO M THE BACKSHOP The Red Line: Perfectly fitting Along came the news last week of an economic development group’s possible creation in an effort to grab state dollars (your tax money, folks) to float Phase I of an electric-bus, rapid-transit line. Here we go again. The idea is to create a regional development authority among Carmel, Westfield, Indianapolis and Greenwood. We get the idea, and we believe it could work. What we don’t get is the need for government to fund it and operate it, because that’s what would eventually transpire. Might we commend to your attention Amtrak? When has it ever turned a penny of profit? Closer to home, please take a look at the financial disaster that is IndyGo. No, no a thousand times no. The officials involved are well-meaning folks, we believe, but there is a better way: the private sector.

For one, it likely would be run as a profitable business free from burdensome union undertones, and for another it wouldn’t be akin to a tax phlebotomy every time the coffers got mowed down. How financially fitting. Privatize it, people, and enjoy the ride.

••• Moles last week said the long-suffering Transportation Security Administration is nothing more than a government creation hindered by a philosophy of “fear and distrust.” That’s all well and good. What shook us was this, according to Fox News: “A second report released … showed the agency failed to flag 73 commercial airport workers ‘linked to terrorism.’” More: “Washington hasn’t leveled with the American people,” Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said. “And (the Department of Homeland Security) is treating this like a PR crisis instead of a homeland security threat.” Of course.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Blind Judgement

Commentary by Terry Anker

Without fanfare Army Sargent Bowe Bergdahl, the much ballyhooed soldier swapped by the United States for several hardened terrorist prisoners, was recently charged with desertion. This came as no surprise to those in his unit who believed the young man had voluntarily become a “captive” of the Taliban. It seems his five-year stint with the other side made him a bit homesick. And, our ruling class youngsters in the White House also were infected with a bit of hubris that they now likely regret.

Why didn’t the administration speak to anyone from this man’s unit? Basic due diligence could have prevented this unfortunate situation. We could have applied our resources to “rescue” someone a bit more deserving of our attentions. Among the scores beheaded, burned and otherwise mutilated by the Islamic extremist community, in all of its various iterations, might

Butler University graduate Peter Kassig have survived if benefited by the White House’s focused attention that instead found its way to the erstwhile Bergdahl?

If one presumes that the failure of decision making in the Bergdahl exchange was precipitated by naiveté and not a willful disregard of clear warnings, the example points to the mistaken hubris of taking action simply because one can and not because one should.

For the time being, Bergdahl remains presumed innocent of the charges against him. It is only human to rejoice for his family, knowing that in spite of challenges to come, he is safe from brutal mutilation and death. Even if justice is blind, shouldn’t judgement keep its eyes open?

Q UOTE O F THE WEEK You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means they use to frighten you.

– Ernest Hemingway

Doo and I recently held a family meeting to hammer out the details for a homicide-free summer. Our four children were invited to share their thoughts, and as humor expected, the biggest sticking point was over the Xbox. Our boys argued that since it’s summer, they should be able to do whatever they want, including wasting weeks at a time sniping virtual zombies. We felt it might lead to serial killer status. Decision? Two hours max a day.

Suck it, kids!

Another bone of contention was television.

Again, our two boys spearheaded the debate.

Essentially they felt that if they couldn’t watch at least a half-day’s worth of “Family Guy,” they would never know true happiness.

We rebutted with something called a “book.”

Bottom line? One hour a day, plus they have to participate in the library’s reading program. I’ll certainly take the free ice cream if they don’t want it.

Also in the plan, the reinstatement of the “I’m Bored” jar, a repository for the dollar fines handed out to anyone muttering any derivative of the word “boring.” Proceeds will go to an end-of-summer Dairy Queen bonanza, and to prevent a Bud Light Jar phenomenon, the perp will be assigned some degrading task, like scrubbing the basement toilet. Don’t mess with Mom! And once again, to further enhance this summer’s salt mine experience, “Amish Day” will occur weekly. It was proposed unwittingly three years ago by our then 10-year-old son who, at the aforementioned decision to limit electronic interaction, cried “I’m not going all Amish!” Should have kept your mouth shut Andrew, for you will indeed go Amish.

No video games, computers or television for one whole day. They must use their imaginations and find old-fashioned forms of amusement. It may not work, but their discomfort should prove highly entertaining. Moi-ha-ha!

So the chore chart is up and rockin’, and the forced family game night schedule (“You will have fun, damn it!”) is in full swing. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that our careful planning will result in a blissful summer vacation. And good luck to you, my friends!

Peace out.

Two decades and countless hours now brings ‘La Casa Azul’ to life

By Anna Skinner • anna@youarecurrent.com Gregory Hancock’s product of almost 20 years of work is finally coming to life.

“La Casa Azul” is a performance musical that is completely sung through.

Lyrics, choreography, costumes and music were all done by Hancock.

The musical explores the life and work of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

Hancock said this production has taken months to plan and create.

“It is a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Hancock said. “We don’t debut musicals in Indiana very often, if ever, on this kind of a scale. It’s going to be a great production and it involves art, music, history, culture, spirituality, dance and theater. It’s really encompassing of a lot of things so it has a wide appeal to a lot of people.”

Recently, the Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre produced “Superhero: The story of a man called Jesus,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” “Joan of Ark” and more. However, “La Casa Azul” is more of Hancock’s own project, not the dance company’s.

“As Gregory mentioned, musicals don’t happen every day and new musicals are a rare thing, and for it to happen in Indiana, this is very news worthy,” said Dheepa Maturi, a member of the board of directors. “People might not get a chance to see something like this again in their lifetime. I think they should come and experience what it is. All of Gregory’s productions are very lush and beautiful, and people are able to immerse themselves in this different space and time.”

Hancock and Maturi encourage anyone in the city with even a passing interest in the arts to come and see the show, because they said there will be something for everyone instigated in the production.

“It’s like seeing your vision come to life,”

Hancock said. “For me it’s become very personal, I’ve had a challenging 16 months and it’s taken on a very personal aspect for me of why I need to do this as something I sort of have to do for me and my family.”

Hancock recently battled cancer, lost a kidney, won his battle with cancer, lost a friend and a neighbor in a murder-suicide and then lost his mother in September, a person he said who was extremely involved in his work.

“Sometimes when things like that happen to you, you have a different reason for wanting to do things and needing to accomplish things. You want to leave something durable.

I want the legacy of my mother and my family to perpetuate that,” he said.

There are some parallels happening between Hancock’s challenges and pain that mirrors what Frida Kahlo’s life was about.

“She went through such terrible tragedies and tried to overcome so many things, yet in the end there’s this beautiful art that she was able to produce and I am very confident that this is what Gregory is doing,” Maturi said.

“The result is going to be gorgeous.”

“It feels like I’m trying to take all this pain and sorrow and turn it into something beautiful,” Hancock said.

There are dancers, actors, singers and musicians on stage to help bring the show together.

“La Casa Azul” will be performed at the Tarkington at the Center for the Performing Arts, June 25-28. It will be performed at 7 p.m. on the evenings and 3 p.m. on Sunday.

They are expecting more than 2,000 people to be in attendance of the show.

On being ‘pedantic’ Commentary by Jordan Fischer Question: “Mr. Fischer, you may have heard about Jeb Bush’s run-in with a college student this week who seemed grammar guy to be grammatically challenged. Perhaps your column could deal with the proper use of the word ‘pedantic’ when berating a politician.

Love your column. You rain! I mean, reign.”

(John Reichmann, Westfield) Answer: You know, John, people might say this column is a sterling example of pedantry in its own right. That being said: Onto Mr. Bush’s run-in with Ms. Ivy Ziedrich.

A little bit of background, courtesy of the New York Times’ Michael Barbaro: Jeb Bush had just finished a town hall meeting at the University of Nevada when 19-year-old Ivy Ziedrich asked him if he would take a student question.

She then proceeded to, as John puts it, “berate” Bush about how his brother’s presidential policies had, in her view, directly contributed to the rise of the Islamic State, concluding her statement by saying, “Your brother created ISIS.” Bush responded with, “All right. Is that a question?” At which point Ziedrich suggested he was being pedantic.

So, was he?

Pedantry is an “excessive concern with minor details and rules” or an “excessive or inappropriate display of learning.”

Politicians frequently resort to pedantry to avoid tough questions – attacking the form of a question, rather than answering it directly.

Probably the best example of political pedantry is former President Bill Clinton’s infamous “it depends upon what the definition of ‘is,’ is,” statement.

On the other hand, as anyone who has ever been to a city council meeting can tell you, many people are looking to turn a questionand-answer opportunity into a diatribe against whatever it is they’ve decided needs yelling about.

The bottom line here is, if you want a politician to answer your question, it needs to be formed thus, and not as exposition. And, while I’m confident Mr. Bush has been plenty pedantic in the past, it does not seem like his comments fit the definition here.

Cataracts: not always so obvious Commentary by Tammy Wittman

June is Cataract Awareness month. Many people mistakenly think a cataract is a film on your eye. It is actually a eye care clouding of the lens inside your eye. This is something that happens over time in most cases but also can be present at birth. Currently there are 20 million people in the United States with cataracts, and it is the most common cause of vision loss in people over 40 and the primary cause of blindness in the world.

Symptoms of cataracts may not be obvious when they are beginning. But as they progress you may experience more glare from headlights or lamps. You may see halos around light posts. You may also feel your windshield or glasses are dirty but cleaning them doesn’t help.

There are several things that can contribute to the development of cataracts. Your lens is made of mostly of protein and water. As we age the proteins begin to clump together and form a cloud in the lens. Exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun causes a yellowing of the lens which is another form of cataract.

For prevention, avoid or protect yourself from the causes of cataracts. Some studies

With the Annual Enrollment from this fall well behind us, the Medicare world is less hectic.

For those turning 65 and insurance who are new to Medicare, the most common guaranteed right is called your Open Enrollment or Initial Enrollment Period. This is like a get out of jail free card. Up to three months prior to your birth month and three months after your birth month, you can choose any plan offered by any company, and you are guaranteed to be accepted.

There are also seven other guaranteed rights which are called a Special Enrollment Period, or SEP. Generally, you don’t have the same full range of options like you do when turning 65, but you do have choices.

They are: 1. If your Medicare Advantage plan leaves your area, you have 60 days prior and 63 days after to choose another plan.

2. If your employer coverage or Cobra is ending, you have a narrow window of time to choose a different plan.

3. If you have a Medicare Select supplement or MA plan and you move out of the coverage area, you have 60 days

have shown that certain nutrients may reduce cataract risk, like Vitamin C, Vitamin E and foods containing Omega-3 fatty acids. Foods rich in Vitamin E include almonds, spinach and sunflower seeds.

prior and 63 days after to choose another plan.

4. If you joined an MA Plan when you were first eligible at age 65 and within the first year you decide to switch back to original Medicare, you can choose most any Supplemental plan.

5. If you dropped a Medicare supplement for a MA plan for the first time and you’ve been in the plan less than one year, you can switch back to the same plan you had prior to changing.

6. If your Medigap insurance company goes bankrupt, you have up to 63 days to change to a different plan with no questions asked.

7. If your MA plan or Supplement misled you, you have 63 days from the time the coverage ends to choose a plan.

If any of these situations apply to you, contact your agent and discuss what might be better for you.

Here’s ‘the dirt’ on soil Commentary by Bob Wasson There are no marching bands, no fireworks displays and nobody is dancing in the streets.

Nevertheless, there is an gardening extraordinarily important – albeit quiet – global celebration taking place this year.

Welcome to the 2015 International Year of Soils! The goal is to raise the awareness and promote the sustainability of our limited soil resources. And you are invited to join in the celebration.

As your backyard garden would attest, soil is the basis for healthy food production. It also provides us with plants we use for feed, fiber, fuel and medicine. But it is a nonrenewable resource, and so we need to make sure we take care of it.

Here are four easy things you can do to take better care of the soil in your yard and garden: • Avoid working in your garden when it’s wet. When soil is compacted, it becomes a solid, bricklike mass that is much less productive.

• Try to keep an even supply of water throughout your garden. Regular watering and mulching can help.

• Cut back on herbicides and pesticides whenever possible. They can seriously alter the chemistry, structure and nutritional content of your garden soil.

• Learn how to make and use organic fertilizers. Compost is an excellent source of organic matter and is both easy and inexpensive to produce.

Maintaining healthy soil is fundamental to good gardening, and it is not hard to do. If you need assistance with landscaping, soil improvement, erosion or any other question, the professionals at your neighborhood nursery or garden center will be happy to help.

Let the celebration of the 2015 International Year of Soils begin!

The time is now to start outdoor projects. (Submitted photo)

Living space ready for summer?

Commentary by Randy Sorrell

Consumer confidence is very strong and our suppliers are struggling to meet demand.

Oddly, there is a national outdoors shortage of respectable size trees and shrubs as a result of growers’ reluctance to spend heavily on planting seedlings during the recession.

Homebuilders’ are smiling again and breaking ground on new additions regularly. It’s an exciting time to be in business and the ugly economics of a few years ago are a distant memory. Although, the lessons are still fresh.

SECOND CHAPTER A fair amount of the demand is driven by curious homeowners wondering whether to move or to update. Many are past clients where we accomplished a major renovation that they love.

But they are wondering if they should give their home another round of updates. Or not. Sort of like the next chapter in the life of their home.

What about you? Is your outdoor living space ready for the next chapter or phase?

Phasing is a brilliant strategy … completing phase one now and implementing additional

phases as budgets and appetites merge.

Chapter two has a different purpose than that. An incredible outdoor living space already exists and the thrilled family is wondering if there is more. And, of course, there is.

MATURING LIFESTYLES Materials and styles have changed. Our interests and lifestyles change too as we have children, kids move on to college or get married. Grilling out becomes more compelling and escaping from the sun imperative.

Thus, the perennial debate: to update or to move. We all have our own criteria to measure. ROI, walkabilitly, the hassle of moving, opening up the interior floor plan, renovated bathroom/kitchen, solid outdoor roof structure, outdoor fireplace and the list goes on.

Is your home ready for chapter two?

Kitchens with fewer cabinets: New looks and new options Commentary by David Decker

At the Affordable Companies, we’ve often talked about why cabinetry design is so integral to the overall look renovations of your kitchen; cabinets take up a lot of space.

As a result, a new, space-saving kitchen trend is steering homeowners away from overloading on cabinetry in favor of new, creative storage solutions. Many designers are reducing the number of upper cabinets, and some are eliminating them altogether. What can you do with that extra wall space in your kitchen?

And how can you still have enough storage in the kitchen without upper cabinets? Read on and discover for yourself a few fresh ideas that you may want to work in to your next kitchen remodel project.

The biggest benefit to streamlining your cabinetry design is increased space. Reducing the number of upper cabinets increases the vertical space available in your kitchen. The extra wall space is yours to design as you see fit. Instead of cabinetry you can use the extra space to install new windows or expand your existing ones. Enjoy the extra sunshine while cooking, cleaning and entertaining. And the fact that increased light makes rooms looks more spacious is just an added bonus. The extra vertical space could also be used to display artwork or decorative elements that add a wow factor to your kitchen. Breaking from tradition will make your home appear unique and contemporary and will surely make an impression on your guests.

It’s true; fewer upper cabinets could mean decreased storage space if you don’t replace the cabinets with any extra form of storage.

And less storage could even lead to one of modern home design’s biggest enemies: clutter. Clutter is distracting and causes a loss of

functionality in the room, which is something no one wants.

The innovative thing about using less upper cabinetry is that it can allow you to incorporate more creative storage options that may end up being a better use of space. For example you can try: Freestanding furniture pieces such as cupboards or bookshelves can boost storage while also creating a unique focal point in the room.

Add a window seat complete with built-in storage to house rarely used things like small appliances or seasonal decorations.

Redesign the pantry to increase storage space. You could even do a remodel to create a new, larger, walk-in pantry if you’re up for some construction.
