Churhes’ Christmas traditions Whether its stockings hung by the chimney with care, caroling on the neighborhood streets or a midnight service, most of us have a clergy special tradition that is kept alive from year to year. We’ve asked many of the local churches to share which tradition the church maintains for its Christmas services.

Zionsville Fellowship, 9090 Oak St. “On Sundays leading up to and at our Christmas Eve service, we gather together to sing Christmasthemed songs, participate in a choir presentation and hear teachings from God’s word about the significance of Jesus’ birth.”

DISPATCHES

Pastor Jim Miller

By Carla Howie • carla@youarecurrent.com

Pastor Drew Hunter

Salem United Methodist, 6701 South 775 East.

“We dedicate an entire Sunday service to our youth where they put on an often unique and humorous production of the Christmas story. We maintain our traditional candlelight service on Christmas Eve in our historic church building.”

Miller

Pastor Steven Albertin

Hunter

Rev. C. Davies Reed

St. Francis In-The-Fields, 1525 Mulberry St. “We host a Christmas pageant on Christmas Eve featuring our young people in grades three through 12. On the fourth Sunday of Advent we have a chili cook-off among our congregation and conduct the “greening of the church” with the children decorating the tree. The men clean the chandeliers in the Nave and Reed we support activities for Operation Christmas Child, an Angel Tree and food collections for food pantries.”

Pastor Mark Condrey

Zionsville Christian Church, 120 N. Ninth St. “At the beginning of Advent, we begin the season by hanging wreaths around the sanctuary and our youth hang Chrismons, symbolic Christian ornaments, on the tree. Our traditions include lighting of the Advent wreath and a Christmas cantata sung by our choir depicting the story of the Advent narrated by Condrey our youth with a congregation luncheon afterwards. Music is a big part of our December services, especially during our candle light service on Christmas Eve.”

ON THE WEB

Christ Lutheran, 600 N. Ford Rd. “Our worship space is decorated in blue, the color of hope for the Advent season. In the sanctuary the Advent wreath and Jesse Tree mark the passage of each week in Advent. To commemorate Christmas, the sanctuary is decorated with a large tree adorned with Chrismon ornaments portraying the Christian faith and Albertin we host two candlelight services to accommodate families with young children.”

Pastor Aaron Brockett

Trader’s Point Christian, 6590 S. Indianapolis Rd. “We have a candle-lighting service to symbolize the light and hope of Jesus and discuss how the message is bigger than a Christmas service. Each year we give gifts to local families who would not otherwise have them and take a special offering that Brockett goes to a global initiative. This year, our offering will contribute to erecting a school for underprivileged children in Lusaka, Zambia.”

Pastor Glenn Howell

Zionsville United Methodist Church, 9644 Whitestown Rd. “Our tradition is to send outreach funds to the needy; providing gifts for children whose parents are either incarcerated or in poverty. We host a beautiful Christmas Eve service with inspiring music.”

Christmas Traditions continued Continued from Page 3

Rev. Scott Shelton

Zionsville Presbyterian, 4775 W. 116th St. “We decorate the building as a church family. We pack shoe boxes with gifts for Operation Christmas Child and fill boxes with two weeks of non-perishable items in collaboration with Shepherd Community Center to feed children Shelton over the Christmas school break. We conclude our Christmas celebration an early fun family service on Christmas Eve and hold three candle light services throughout the remainder of the evening.

Pastor David Bourne

New Hope Christian Church, 5776 S. 650 E St. “We have a special presentation from our children’s ministry at our Christmas Eve service.”

Bourne

Father Dennis O’Keeffe

St. Alphonsus Liguori, 1870 W. Oak St. “One Christmas tradition is the parish crèche, or nativity scene at the entrance of the church; featuring a large stable with figurines.

The crèche is displayed from the start of Advent through the Christmas season. Additional statues are added to the crèche all the way until O’Keeffe Epiphany Sunday when the magi arrive and the entire story of Christmas is celebrated. It is during the longstanding tradition of celebrating Jesus’ birth at midnight on Dec. 25, when the baby Jesus figurine is placed in the manger.”

Hope you enjoyed this brief glimpse into the different ways the Christmas season is recognized throughout many of the local churches.

Each church leader has extended an open invitation to families and friends in Zionsville to join their celebration and share in their traditions.

25 years of service to ZCHS

By Sarah Salas • news@currentzionsville.com Zionsville Community High School will be wishing 25-year veteran secretary Becky Thornley a happy retireretiremeNT ment at the close of the month. Thornley and her family moved to Zionsville in 1985. The former licensed elementary school teacher accepted her secretarial position in spring of 1988.

Thornley has witnessed a plethora of changes over the years from the growth of the community to the rise of the computer age. During her first years a great deal of secretarial work was still done by hand. There was no email, no voicemail, and teachers did not have phones in their classrooms. Teachers would call Thornley at home to report their absences, and she would rise at 5:30 a.m. and personally call substitutes. The high school also did not employ a full-time school nurse in those days, so Thornley had to act the part. She quickly became a jack-of-all-trades, well versed in knowing how to do “a little bit of everything”. Suffice it to say that the years have gone by quickly for Thornley, as there has never been a dull moment.

“I’m glad I was able to spend twenty-five years of my life here. I really have enjoyed every day, as there was always something new and different. It has been a great place to work”, Thornley said

MacFarlane has had much experience to draw from. As a young boy of 2, he was involved in a freak accident which left him blind in both eyes. But he has never let that get in his way of success.

“To me it has only ever been a minor inconvenience. It has never stood in the way of my leading and living a normal life,” MacFarlane said.

Two bits once meant something Commentary by Ward Degler

There’s an old Abbott and Costello routine where Bud tells a friend, “I spent $10,000 to send my boy to college, and all I got plain talk was a quarterback.”

Costello likes the joke and tells an acquaintance, “A guy spent 10 grand sending his kid to college, and all he got back was two bits.”

So, why is a quarter two bits?

Rewind to the late 1700s when the colonies had just sent the British packing and were busy hammering out the framework of a new republic.

The coin of the realm was the Spanish dollar, a coin that could be broken into eight pieces called bits. Each bit was worth 12 and a half cents. Two bits was a quarter of a dollar, four bits a half, and six bits was 75 cents.

Pieces of eight were legal currency until 1857 when Congress passed the Coinage Act prohibiting the use of foreign coins as currency. The tentacles of inflation must have been creeping

into the economy even then, for Congress also discontinued minting the half-cent, a coin left over from the British ha’penny.

After that, two bits settled into a long and useful life. Along with the strains of “Sweet Adeline,” barbershop quartettes around the country reminded guys they could get a shave and a haircut for two bits. My grandfather talked about buying a round of beer for his buddies at the local pub for 20 cents. He’d put two bits on the able and leave the nickel for a tip.

As late as 1960, two bits would buy a box of corn flakes, a pound of bacon, a loaf of bread or a quart of milk. For 27 cents I could get three boxes of Kraft Dinner. Today I fork over a 20-dollar bill, and all I get back is two bits.

Ward Degler lives in Zionsville with his wife and dog. He is author of “The Dark Ages of My Youth ... and Times More Recent.”You may contact him at ward.degler@gmail.com.

Zionsville family raises thirdgeneration bakery to a new level

By Abby Walton • news@currentzionsville.com Creating confections is baked into Terry Rake’s DNA. “I wasn’t born when my grandfather, William Titus, had his bakery, but cover story I worked for my father’s bakery in the early 1980s,” Rake said. Her father, Bill Titus, started what would become a destination for sweet lovers when he opened up Titus Pastry Shoppe in Lebanon.

“We’re known for a doughnut called the Pershing,” she said. This round, moist pastry contains a mixture of cinnamon swirl topped with maple icing.

Terry Rake “It’s actually a family recipe,” Rake said. Although her grandfather and father ran successful baking businesses, Rake decided to go a different direction by starting an eventplanning business, Indy Events Management Group. She also was working as the executive director for the Indiana Fire Chiefs Association when her father decided to retire.

“About two years ago, I knew Dad wanted to retire, but I never guessed that I would be the one to take over the business,” she said.

At the end of last year, Terry and her husband, Tom, took over Titus Pastry Shoppe, turning her into a third-generation baker.

“I wondered if I could pull this off,” she said. Knowing what a legacy her family had built, Rake said she wanted to continue offering the baked goods they were known for, but also wanted to expand their product line.

“That’s why we decided to change the name to Titus Bakery,” she said.

Now the bakery

offers everything from cakes and pies to cookies and, of course, doughnuts.

“We added a maple bacon doughnut which is a long John with maple icing and two strips of bacon on top. People really seem to like it,” she said.

Not only have the Rakes expanded the bakery’s product line, they’ve also expanded the hours the shop is open, added a drive-through feature and now serve lunch.

“We’re always trying to put ourselves in the customer’s shoes to create a great experience,” said Tom. In fact, the couple, who live in Zionsville, split the day so one or both of them is always there.

“It’s a lot of hard work, but it’s fun having your own enterTom Rake prise. I really don’t feel like I’m going to work,” Tom said. Although he went to school for business, Tom said he’s learned how to decorate doughnuts and make cookies.

Dedicated team of employees “I just fill in where I’m needed,” he said. And it’s not just Terry and Tom who’ve gotten involved. They said their teenage daughters, Alexandra and Olivia, also help out when they can.

“In fact, they created a board of directors and put themselves in charge and said we need to pass all of our new

ideas through them. It doesn’t always happen, but we do try to get their input,” Terry said. Besides their daughters, the Rakes said they’re also lucky to have great people around them.

“None of this would be possible without a dedicated team of employees. They make it all happen,” Tom said.

While the Rakes said the past year has been a lot of hard work, it’s also been incredibly rewarding.

“The support we’ve received from the pub-

lic is incredible. People seem to really like the expansion and we’ve received a lot of positive feedback,” she said. Tom said he agrees it’s the people who’ve made this whole experience worth it.

“Since the business has been here for more than 30 years, we have a very loyal following.

Every single day, we have customers who compliment us on our product and it’s just a joy to talk with them and hear their stories,” Tom said.

Although Terry never set out to be a baker, Tom said she’s done a spectacular job continuing the legacy of Titus Bakery.

“She just has a really good feel of what types of products people would like,” he said.

While there are talks of expanding the bakery into other communities, right now the Rakes said their main focus is on creating delectable delights for their dedicated customers. Terry may not have started out in the bakery business, but it seems that by spending time around her family, she’s learned the recipe for success.

FROM THE BACKSHOP

FROM THE EDITOR

Really, it’s ‘gift enough’

So, at last, it is Christmas Eve. There probably is either a flurry of activity in your household, or, if you’re going it solo, some restful and contented tranquility as we anticipate the dawning of the big day. In preparing to celebrate - and without meaning to seem cliché here - deep down we all know it’s about more than retail purchases expertly wrapped. For some, the religious meaning of the day trumps all. For others, the chance to celebrate with those near and dear simply cannot be topped.

For still others, and there is nothing wrong with this, it’s a chance to regroup in the middle of the week. Perhaps it’s a bit of all three.

As immersed as we are in the season and the day, that respite is something we’re both anticipating. We’re not complaining; no, not in the least. As we dined with one of our customers one day last week at the noon hour, there was a silent moment, as if each of us was trying to catch his breath. And then Brian said, “Where did this year go?” It’s a great question, because, in our world, it went by in a flash. Busy was the watchword for us, most especially in the fourth quarter of this year. (Wasn’t Labor Day just last weekend? It certainly seems that way.) So perhaps that’s “gift enough” for us to be able to go at a quick pace every day at something we love to the point that it doesn’t seem like work. Oh, some days bring taxing situations – owning a business ensures that – but what a gift it is to be able to do what you love and love what you do. For that, we thank you, readers and advertising partners. May your day be merry and bright!

Season’s best wishes

Melting snow Commentary by Terry Anker In this season of bone-chilling temperatures and howling winds, we are even more aware of our corporal frailty. When blessed by shelter and free from the many threats to our comfort, we, at least those of us attentive to such matters, turn our thinking to others who may not be afforded the same position. This attention leads to a greater generosity than might be our standard in the warmer, more moderate climes.

While the cynical among us might consider it a manifestation of repressed guilt about the plight of others, it likely is related to an instinct akin to a mother covering her children not when they complain of the cold, but when she perceives it present.

It is a good urge to offer protection to those among us either unable or, for reasons not of their own making, unwilling to care for themselves. A desire to share our bounty is of the higher order of human instinct. But as the rage of winter’s blight passes and the Earth’s axis

brings the warming sun to our shoulders, we revert to ritual. Ourselves unthreatened, we stop thinking of the other whose need is perhaps no less dire or deserving no less considered. How then does a rational and responsible person remain engaged with her fellow woman and yet not become her permanent keeper? One might wonder, if the need is everlasting then should likewise be the service?

During this time of recurrent generosity and the shortest of daylight hours, shouldn’t we be considering not only the matter today but also the want that will carry through to longer days and easier harvest? To be sure, help during the difficult winter is critical, perhaps lifesaving, for some. But then is it folly to watch the generosity recede with the melting snow?

The old-fashioned way is to snail mail it to Current in Zionsville, 30 S. Range Line Road, Carmel, IN 46032.

“My idea of Christmas is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?”

- Bob Hope

I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the merchants, committees and organizations who worked so hard to plan, coordinate and implement a month-long Christmas event for Zionsville residents and visitors to enjoy.

It’s a huge commitment on everyone’s part to work together, strategize the logistics and confirm the details to make something of this magnitude come together and appear flawless. Thank you. We are very fortunate to have a community such as this.

I would also like to extend to all of our Current readers a happy, joyous holiday. I hope it is filled with warm memories of time spent with family and friends, and that you keep those not present in loving thought. While it is easy to be overwhelmed with the festivities of the season, it’s important to reflect on each one of our blessings; whether they come wrapped in holiday paper or not.

I’ve maintained the same Christmas list for a long time. I’ll use this as another pitch to Santa that my Christmas wish list be granted.

Continued health, happiness, love and prosperity for my family and friends, the end of student bullying across the nation, the end of racial prejudice, equality for all mankind and a world of peace. Not much to ask for, is it?

I think our 30th president, Calvin Coolidge, captured the season well, “Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.”

Merry Christmas!

Ringing in the New Year

Commentary by Danielle Wilson

Well, it’s finally happened people. I’ve officially entered the 21st Century with the acquisition of a smart phone. Hallelujah, right? humor Actually I think my kids are more excited than I am. No longer will I be embarrassing them with a flip phone that sort of takes pictures and kind of allows texting.

No longer will they fight to take road trips in my husband’s car because he has a Wi-Fi hotspot.

No longer will I be farther behind in technology then their grandparents, all of whom have had iPhones for years.

Now you may recall a previous article about my commitment to the basic flip. I was tired of family answering emails during dinner, frustrated with coworkers who played Angry Birds during meetings, and concerned for friends who would rather tweet than talk face to face. In short, I didn’t want to become like them . . . rude, insensitive and constantly “plugged in.” Cell phones were for emergency communication only, damn it!

Then why the change of heart? Frankly, I got jealous. And bored. I started paying attention to the number of times I wished for internet access . . . in airports, while waiting for dance rehearsal to finish, or lost on my way to a soccer game in rural Indiana. I became envious of those who could take “selfies” at the NCAA basketball cham-

pionships and then immediately upload to Facebook for bragging rights. I would kick myself for forgetting the camera when my son finally swam a 50-meter breaststroke without being DQ’ed.

And I grew tired of showing up on the wrong day or time because my entire life was lying on a paper calendar back home.

But I had an image to uphold; an old-school chip on my shoulder that I felt obligated to carry.

And so I watched as my teenager took my upgrade, twice, and pretended like I was proud to still own a cheap, crappy device. Of course, then I’d drop the stupid thing in a glass of chocolate milk moments after jumping into a pool with it still in my pocket, and be thankful I didn’t own a $200 phone. Plus, not having the data plan was incredibly cost effective. But those redemption moments were too few and far between.

Luckily for me and my “too cool for school” attitude, Doo and the holdiays came to the rescue.

Best Buy offered some great deals, my husband purchased a new one for himself, and I inherited a slightly scratched iPhone 4. So next week I will not only proclaim “Welcome 2014!” but also “Hello, 21st Century!” Peace out.

Commentary by Julie Osborne

Merry Christmas! There I said it. I have been “Happy Holidaying” all month, but it’s Christmas Eve so I thought I would let wandering one fly.

I don’t understand how or when wishing someone a Merry Christmas became so sensitive. I just don’t get it. Holiday concerts, holiday cookies, holiday shopping and now even the holiday tree?

This week my friend, whose children attend elementary and middle schools in Zionsville, shared how she had to remove the words “holiday” and “santa” from the school’s cookie exchange invitation because both were too closely related to Christmas. Are you kidding?

Why in the world bother with a cookie exchange during the busiest time of year if it has nothing to do with the season? Why not have a winter cookie exchange in January? By the way, “winter” was an acceptable word for the invitation.

Recently, I had a similar conversation with my Jewish neighbor. He’s not offended at all when someone wishes him a Merry Christmas.

In fact, he joked about appreciating all the afterChristmas sales.

“This year, Hanukkah came too early,” Mark said. For years, we have been sharing our holiday traditions. He puts up my Christmas lights and we are invited to his family’s Hanukkah feast. In

October, the planning begins.

“So, when are we putting up the Christmas lights?” he said. It usually doesn’t happen until Thanksgiving when it’s cold, and this year the Christmas lights didn’t make it up at all because my Jewish neighbor was out of town. How’s that for a holiday twist? We have a wonderful relationship where we share each other’s celebrations and respect our differences. Isn’t that the way it should be?

So, if you celebrate Christmas, have a Merry, Merry Christmas. If you don’t, enjoy a day off from work with your family.

The Blue Bus band will provide the music that guests need to let loose on the dance floor this New Year’s Eve at Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. (Submitted photo)

Reason to dance at Beef & Boards

By Patricia Rettig • editorial@youarecurrent.com

In addition to the dinner buffet and the performance of “Lend Me A Tenor,” the Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre New Year’s Eve event offers a live band, dancing, a balloon drop, champagne toast at theatre midnight, followed by Chef Odell’s breakfast buffet.

The highlight of the evening will be a performance by The Blue Bus band. Playing together for more than 14 years all over the Midwest, the group plays a wide variety of music from jazz standards to Motown, classic rock to R&B. “Lend Me A Tenor,” a Ken Ludwig comedy, opens at the dinner theatre Dec. 28. This Tony Award-winning madcap farce is sure to have the audience pealing with laughter.

“Lend Me A Tenor” is set in Cleveland in 1934 where the world-famous tenor Tito Morelli, Il Stupendo, is scheduled to perform as Otello. But he arrives late and, through a series of mishaps, is given a double dose of tranquilizers. His pulse is so weak that Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, and his assistant, Max, believe he’s

dead.

Desperate for the show to go on, they try to salvage the evening by dressing Max in one of the Otello costumes to fool the audience. But Morelli comes to, dresses in a different costume and prepares to perform.

Now there are two Otellos being chased by women in lingerie who each think they’re with Il Stupendo.

Starring as Saunders is longtime Beef & Boards favorite Eddie Curry, with David Schmittou (last seen in “The Sound of Music” as Captain Georg von Trapp) as Max. Newcomer Craig Underwood stars as the famous tenor Tito Merelli. Another Beef & Boards favorite, Jeff Stockberger, is the bellhop. Returning to the stage are Jill Kelly in the role of Maria and Erin Cohenour as Diana. Rounding out the cast are Erin West as Maggie and Gerri Weagraff as Julia.

“Lend Me A Tenor” • Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre • 9301 Michigan Rd., Indianapolis • 8 p.m. Dec. 31; show runs Dec. 28 through Feb. 2. • Tickets start at $38.50. • For more information, call 872-9664 or visit www. beefandboards.com.

dispatches

Coming Jan. 21 in Current, the debut of Tables, a dining guide for Hamilton and Boone counties … and beyond.

Drink and be skinny – Try whipping up a healthy cocktail with 150 calories or fewer for the holidays to avoid guilt this season. For example, a ginger champagne cocktail may help prevent cancer by halting abnormal cell growth; a cosmo with orange zest added also helps fight cancer.

- www.self.com New Year’s resolutions – Instead of vowing to lose 20 pounds for a resolution after the New Year, aim for more realistic goals, for example, lose a pound a week by exercising three times a week for 30 minutes at a time and drink skim milk in place of whole. Set aside 20 percent of your caloric intake for junk food instead of cutting it all out so you don’t “fall off the wagon diet.” Get at least seven hours of sleep instead of a “no food after 9 p.m.” policy. - www.healthyliving.msn.com.

Healthy food swaps – Our minds don’t notice a few healthy substitutions so we can still enjoy “bad” foods. Swap half of the meat for your hamburger with roasted and ground mushrooms. Try Stella cut oats in place of risotto rice and add quinoa or millet for a fried rice dish. Feel less guilt by using combinations of cinnamon or vanilla in place of sugar. - www.menshealth.com Dump your vitamins – According to a recent study, vitamins have been shown to have as much positive affect as a placebo for memory, life span or heart problems.

They have been shown, however, to modestly reduce the risk of cancer and cataracts.

- www.webmd.com Preventing colds and flus – Reducing alcohol before bedtime ensures a better night’s sleep, helping to ward off illness. Increasing protein intake also helps your immune system; reach for fish, eggs and yogurt. Use Vodka as a hand sanitizer; alcohol kills lurking germs.

Financial considerations for 2014 Commentary by Adam Cmejla

The fourth quarter is the time of year when the financially savvy start to look for ways to reduce their taxes and make Finance year-end moves in pursuit of key financial objectives. When considering your own situation and the moves you might make, keep these ideas in mind: Can you max out your IRA contribution?

If you have, congratulations (especially if you benefit further from an employer match)! If you haven’t, you still have the chance to put up to $5,500 into a traditional or Roth IRA for tax year 2013, $6,500 if you are 50-or-older this year, assuming your income levels allow you to do so.

Traditional IRA contributions are tax-deductible to varying degree. The contribution limit for participants in 401(k), 403(b) and most 457 plans and the Thrift Savings Plan is $17,500 for 2013, with a $5,500 catch-up contribution allowed for those 50-and-older.

Should you go Roth in 2014? The younger you are, the more sense Roth IRA conversions or contributions may make. If you have a long time horizon to let your IRA grow, have the funds to pay the tax on the conversion and want your heirs to inherit tax-free distributions from your IRA, it may be worth it. If you think you will pay less tax in the future or you might die with a large charitable bequest, then it may not be a wise move.

Can you harvest portfolio losses before

2014? This is the time of year to think about tax-loss harvesting – dumping the losers in your portfolio. You can claim losses equivalent to any capital gains recognized in a tax year, and you can claim up to $3,000 in additional losses beyond that, which can offset dividend, interest and wage income. If your losses exceed that limit, they can be carried over into future years.

In terms of taxes, should you delay a big financial move until 2014? Talk with a tax professional about the impact that selling or buying a home or business might have on your 2013 taxes. You may want to wait. Receiving a bonus, getting married or divorced, exercising a stock option, taking a lump-sum payout – these events have potentially major tax consequences as well.

Look at tax efficiency in your portfolio Investors were strongly cautioned to do this at the end of 2012 as the fiscal cliff loomed; it is a good idea before any year ebbs into the next.

You may want to put income-producing investments inside an IRA, for example, and direct investments with lesser tax implications into brokerage accounts.

Bold is a wealth of possibilities.

Make a striking design statement in three simple steps. Choose a spout, handles and faucet finish from the Artifacts collection to create a look all your own. ™

BY SPECIAL APPOINTMENT ONLY

Existing master bath: This home located in the Hickory Woods neighborhood in Fishers was built in 1982. The home blueprint for still had its original masimprovement ter bathroom.

“There was carpet on the side of the tub,” stated the homeowner. “The whirlpool tub wasted too much space and the tiny shower was stuck in a closet.” The homeowners were looking for a spa-inspired design with a significantly larger shower instead of the tub.

Tub removal creates walk-in shower: Removing the tub greatly increased the floor space, making room for a walk-in shower. 30 cm by 60 cm Stark Grigio ceramic tiles cover the shower walls, with the exposed edges finished with stainless steel edging. The shower floor was given the look of stone pebbles using Hampton Carrara Cobble. Frameless glass sits on the half-wall. The original small shower space was converted to a well-needed linen closet with painted french doors. Window film was added to the window for privacy, but allowing light to enter the space.

Light gray color tones: The homeowners chose light gray for the vanity, which complements the organic white quartz countertops. Contemporary styling of the fixtures and hardware align with the design as well. A hard wired electric

Final Results: In the end, it was the functionality of the design that became the homeowner’s favorite. “I like being able to turn the water on in the shower without having to get wet,” said the homeowner. “The placement of the valve was an important part of the design. I also like the new vanity height, which make the sinks easier to use. There is much more storage for us as well.”

towel warmer was installed right outside the shower entrance. Large floor tile in 18-inch by 18inch Whisper Gray balance the room’s color pallet.

Decorative ceiling: A vaulted ceiling originally covered in bead board provided an airy feel to the master bathroom. However, the stained maple did not align with the new design. The wood was sealed to cover exposed knots, caulked

along each seam and painted off-white.
