“The J ll Collection” –

THE MOST LUXURIOUS PROPERTIES BOUGHT AND SOLD IN BETHESDA AND POTOMAC

301-758-7224 Cell | Jill@JillSchwartzGroup.com

JILL SCHWARTZ RISING ABOVE THE REST Jill Schwartz is one of the top producing ultra luxury realtors in the area. Jill has created The Jill Collection 2016, a stunning portfolio of her successes and can be found online at jillschwartzgroup.com.

Jill is repeatedly selected to represent some of the most highend custom boutique builders in the Mary-land and DC regions.

RAD Development chose Jill as the preferred listing agent for the builder’s private residence, The Potomac Falls Estate, which she sold for $2.5 million in record speed.

The Fernwood Estate is another success story of a local custom boutique builder with a unique vision and aes-thetic.

Jill’s established network and strong knowledge of the Bethesda real estate market created the oppor-tunity for the builder to purchase the perfect site, a $1.4 million teardown on the highest altitude one-acre lot in Burning Tree Estates. After several years of a collaborated custom build process, Jill became the property’s exclusive listing agent. Nicknamed by locals “The Cas-tle on the Hill”, the property formally became known as The Fernwood Estate. She then went on to secure the purchaser for The Fernwood Estate and settled at $4,995,000 list price, making it Bethesda’s highest priced new construction spec build in 2015.

Jill’s real estate accolades do not stop with just primary home residences; she is also the go- to agent for second home purchases. She is licensed in MD, DC, VA, NJ, and DE. Jill was the listing agent for a $4 million lux oceanfront beach home in a gated enclave of custom beach homes in Delaware.

Jill Schwartz has successfully sold and contracted over $100 million in total sales and listings since the start of her career in 2010. Her listings are on the market for an average of only 28 days. Jill Schwartz is the #1 individual agent in Long & Foster’s #1 office,the Bethesda Gateway Office,which has exceeded $1 billion in sales each year for the past 11 years.

lower POWER Spring is a time of new growth and transformation, and in the district, this applies to more than just the flowers. It is truly an exciting time to be living in the DC metro area, with the real estate market booming and neighborhoods rapidly developing.

Family-friendly entertainment and new restaurants are popping up around every corner, and the housing market is responding with significant growth. From lux condos to chic sea containers DC real estate is a force to be reckoned with. Move over NYC, DC is on the rise!

One new area that has been exploding is the H Street Corridor.

With yoga studios, ramen shops, and farmers’ markets, H Street is booming with lifestyle-friendly growth. Trendy spots mean paradise for the DC resident who wants to live near the latest action. If you are looking to move to a neighborhood with trendy flair, do not forget to check out the H Street Corridor.

Of course, few DC springtime activities are as iconic as the cherry blossoms. However, venturing down to the National Mall for the blooms can be a chaotic task, but there’s no need to endure the crowds this year. Right near downtown Bethesda is the Kenwood neighborhood, home to twelve hundred Yoshino cherry trees. You and the family can enjoy a day walking amongst the beautiful blooms minus the downtown DC crowds. The light pink blossoms bring out extra beauty in this neighborhood, filled with charming, historic homes. Skip the tourist trap this spring and enjoy the cherry blossoms in beautiful Kenwood.

With the new developments around DC, 2015 saw an increase in numbers of homes sold, plus a 9% increase in median sale price. In addition to downtown expansion, the Bethesda area was recently ranked 11th in the nation for top places to settle down. DC and the surrounding areas offer an abundance of family-friendly neighborhoods, fun nightlife, and local pizazz. It’s no wonder the area market is flourishing!

REAGAN SMITH Publisher

Springtime is a reminder of how the world around us can come to life. From H Street ramen to Kenwood cherry blossoms, DC is overflowing with new activities and growing neighborhoods.

With the real estate market in full bloom as well, now is the time to make your springtime transformation into a new home.

Happy Spring!

We are excited to announce our new contributing writer, Ezio Mattiace of Arte Modus, who will be highlighting Italy’s newest trends.

From floors identical to those that rest under Michelangelo Da Vinci in Florence to flooring made from wood extracted from the Venice Laguna, to office furniture to kitchen designs, Ezio has it all. He is a self-proclaimed furniture treasure hunter and he focuses on finding unique products to bring to the American design scene. His design aesthetic is contemporary classic, which becomes obvious as soon as you step into the showroom. He understands what his clients need for their personal taste and use and then goes from there with a full service approach. He is in constant contact with Italian manufacturers and has three to four trips to Italy a year; to hand pick designs for his clients and his showroom.

The pairing of modern pieces with classic speaks to Ezio’s passions. Each issue he will bring us everything from design ideas to product spotlights to projects he has completed. Arte Modus is located at 1054 31st Street NW, Suite #009.

CAPITOL HILL DESIGNER/STAGER NOMINATED FOR INTERNATIONAL AWARD Capitol Hill resident, Principal Designer and owner of Masterpiece Staging and Design (MS&D), Tiffany Hardgrave, has been selected as one of the top 10 “Rising Stars� for 2016 by the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA). Tiffany is the only RESA finalist selected in the Northeast United States from an international group of stagers and designers from across the globe.

Tiffany Hardgrave quickly made her mark on DC and grabbed the attention of RESA in a very short time. After honing her staging skills on a small scale on Capitol Hill while setting spectacular sales records for a select group of Realtors and clients, Tiffany only expanded her business to the wider DC real estate market in May of this year.

24 I SSU E N O .1

“I don’t consider myself just a stager. I am a Home Transformation Specialist because I do more than just place furniture. I make my homes as “HGTV” ready as possible for my clients to sell- or more beautiful and functional for daily living. Every home and layout is different so my design focus shifts from targeting millennial buyers to Kalorama classic depending on the home,” Tiffany said. She added, “This approach works very well in the DC area and my results prove it. One of my last staged homes in the Shaw neighborhood sold for more than $120K over list price.”

Tiffany stated, “Winning the top spot would be great, but just being one of RESA’s top 10 rising stars in the country is more than amazing!”

The winner will be announced at the annual Home Staging Awards on January 23rd in Las Vegas.

After studying interior design at London’s Regent’s Academy, Tiffany went on to specialize in staging design as Certified Staging Professional (CSP). Tiffany is the only CSP and designer in the DC Metro area.

Her CSP mentor, Cathy Hobbs, is best known as Oprah’s “life you want” designer and BRAVO’s Million Dollar Listing’s Frederick Ekland’s stager extraordinaire and contestant on HGTV’s Designstar. MS&D incorporate their proprietary techniques into the company’s unique staging and design plans.

MS&D specializes, not only in staging homes for sale, but also in home design/redesign, color selection, and can create custom works of arts for clients. Home transformation through redesign has been an important part of the MS&D portfolio. Unlike traditional interior design, interior redesign is the transformation of a room by artfully rearranging furniture, artwork, accessories and devising a custom paint plan. “It gives the space a brand new look quickly with much less disruption and cost,” stated Tiffany.

“Living and studying design abroad for nearly a decade in Europe and Asia has given me a unique perspective in design and color. This has also allowed me to acquire a specially curated collection of furniture and accessories that enhance the design of my staged homes and gives me a distinctive look to my redesigns,“ said Tiffany.

Tiffany’s art and design have been featured in Traditional Home magazine, Tampa Bay’s Best and DC Spaces magazine. Her work has also been showcased in Kennedy Center and Charity Works show homes as well as numerous private residences in the DC area.

LOCAL nonprofit host rocking fundraiser This February, the Neighborhood Legal Services Program (NLSP) presented Justice Rocks 2016, where attendees enjoyed drinks, live music, and light hors d’oeuvres. The concert was hosted at Glover Park hotspot Mason Inn, and entertainment was provided by local band Deaf Dog and the Indictments. The event was a huge success for the NLSP team, with a turnout of over 100 guests and thousands of dollars contributed to the organization.

The concert highlighted the life-changing work that the NLSP is doing throughout Washington while raising awareness for the organization’s cause. For 50 years, the NLSP has provided free civil legal services to DC’s low-income residents. The NLSP provides assistance in the form of safe and affordable shelter, protection for victims of domestic abuse, access to healthcare and public benefits, as well as stabilizing family relationships and employment services.

The live entertainment of the evening, Deaf Dog and the Indictments, is the world’s only almost-all-judge band since 2005. Among its members, Deaf Dog and the Indictments counts four D.C. Superior Court associate judges, three magistrate judges, and on the drums, one psychologist. They brought their unique mix of Motown, blues, and rock-n-roll classics to the concert. Attendees danced the night away and insisted on a double encore from the band.

34 ISSU E N O . 8

The event was coordinated by DHM Media Group, which specializes in nonprofit marketing and event planning. DHM brought Justice Rocks to life with a party atmosphere and high-quality entertainment, while adhering to the parameters and budget set by the NLSP. DHM has worked with numerous nonprofits, including Women’s Alliance for Security Leadership and the Joint Council on International Children’s Services.

Justice Rocks 2016 is a fantastic example of how local nonprofits can host mini-events with big benefits. There is no need for a massive gala to raise donations; guests enjoy a casual, laid-back atmosphere where they can come for a fun, charitable night out. In addition, using a venue like Mason Inn is a win all around. Attendees support not only the hosting organization, but also local DC small businesses, which draws even more community-minded residents. No nonprofit is too small for a fun event that attendees will look forward to year after year. By taking a few steps, any organization can host an impressive local “FUN-raiser.”

Reflections on design trends by

nestor santa-Cruz.

Residence by NSC, Alexandria, Va. / Photo by Angie Seckinger

I am a total anti-trends designer.

Perhaps my architectural education is to blame, as I am always interested in cocreating with my clients interiors that are dateless in character, but that are also referential to design history.

When presented with the question of what would I see as new design trends for 2016, I considered the question from a different point of view.

First, I questioned if any of my own design interests and signature moves of the last five years could now be en vogue. Did I unconsciously foresee a design trend in-the-making, or was I influenced by earlier design creators?

Take for example the proliferation of rose and gold metals substituting the ubiquitous stainless steel and polished chrome finishes.

I have been mixing metal colors in rooms for quite some time now. In a recently completed kitchen near Dupont Circle, I mixed a copper-toned UJ1 light pendant

by Jorn Utzon over the kitchen island with all stainless steel appliances, and with an antique guilt-framed painting of a serene landscape.

But fashion and jewelry designs have mixed metals for years. My classic Trinity ring, designed by Louis Cartier in 1924, with its intertwined white, yellow and rose gold bands is a good example – it goes well with anything. A couple of years ago, I also started stacking three narrow Bulgari B.zero I rings, each with a different gold color, and presto, the Roman jewelry house has just released a three-golds-in-one thicker version.

Bulgari three color ring

on the other hand, any design trends list can't do without paint color predictions. Let's consider the "gray is the new beige" slogan.

Is it really that new?

In the mid-1940's Christian Dior painted his maison de couture in Paris' Avenue Montaigne in what it is now referred as Dior-gray.

This very quickly became interior designers' favorite selling mantra for gray colors. Let's remember that Gabrielle Chanel hated Dior's new Look; she liked beige.

I started using Farrow & Ball's gray colors about ten years ago: elephant Breath, skimming stone, Pavilion Grey, Charleston Gray, Ammonite, to name just a few. My goal was to find several Armani-esque grey/beige tonalities that could live harmoniously in an entire house.

Recently, I was excited to see that this British paint company, with its edited and controlled collection, has expanded the gray palette range in their neo-Boheme color introductions for 2016. These new grey palettes are warmer, more beige based. I trust Chanel would have been happy.

Lastly, I am a true believer that every room should have a touch of whimsy. one great opportunity for introducing whimsical touches are decorative light fixtures.

We have seen our share of sputnik-like chandeliers, as well as those organic pendants with multiple glass sticks or bubbles. However, I have always preferred those with minimal-whimsical gestures. My old reliable ones were classic modern lights by Cedric Hartman, Achille Castiglione or serge Mouille.

Today, I like Jaime Hayon's Passepartout collection for the Danish manufacturer & Tradition (through Furniture from scandinavia Gallery in Georgetown). These fixtures are quietly surreal and minimally self-conscious, but they can be a statement in any type of room.

What I recommend to homeowners for 2016 is to take a personal trending class – exercise now, reconsider the past, and start creating new predictions.
