H

as it seemed to you that the summer of 2014 is rushing by? June and July passed me in a blur of work and family.

Hello, I’m in a new role for YOU magazine and this is my first edition as its editor, although I’ve done some proofreading for previous issues and, of course, looked through the whole magazine when it landed on my desk.

This new role has contributed to my frantic pace this summer. I’ve increased to a full-time job after years of choosing part-time work that let me focus more on family and home.

In this edition, we introduce you to a Wausau social worker with her own family-centered focus. Amber Myska finds ways to relate with her clients and works to help them build stronger family ties. “I cannot tell you how good it is to see families progress and become healthy,” she said.

At the same time, she’s raising two active boys with her lawyer husband. You can read her story starting on page 20.

If home and family time are important to you, as well, you’ll want to check our ideas for decorating, day or weekend getaways, and healthy eating. Dietitian Sam Bulgrin offers some tips for avoiding summer-time food traps to help you stick to your healthy eating plan. We planned a girlfriend excursion — good friends are like family! — to Green Bay and found five free things to do in Minneapolis. And designer Eunice Gardner offers these ideas for decorating: Begin with basics, and experiment with mixing styles.

TOP PICKS Artrageous weekend What a way to cap off summer: Wausau’s Artrageous Weekend features art of many colors, shapes, styles, sounds, tastes and views on the weekend after Labor Day, Sept. 6 and 7 this year.

Four different venues will present art from different angles:

The Festival of Arts spreads out from The 400 Block downtown Wausau, following Third Street a block or two each direction. Grab lunch at a stand staffed by local organizations and stroll the streets perusing the ceramics, fiber, glass, graphics, jewelry, metals, painting, paper and photography offered for sale by 120 juried artists, while musicians take turns on outdoor stages.

Nearby, the Center for the Visual Arts will be hosting the Wisconsin Regional Artists Association’s State Art Exhibit’s first trip to Wausau. Two hundred Wisconsin artists are featured.

Visit the CVA on the corner of Fourth and Scott streets.

Up the hill to the east, enjoy the opening weekend of the Woodson Art Museum’s annual Birds in Art exhibit. On Saturday morning, meet exhibiting artists and see some in action demonstrating different techniques.

The museum is at 700 N. 12th St.

Barry Van Dusen’s artworks include “Robins and Bittersweet,� 2012, a watercolor on Richeson cold press paper.

And finally, head west across the river to East Gate Hall in Marathon Park for Art in the Park. Crafters from across the area will offer their handiwork for sale, whether it’s pottery, prints, art glass, jewelry, woodcrafts, furniture or wearable.

Free shuttles run between the venues, offering stress-free travel between the weekend’s events.

words

We asked readers, “What water-related summer activity do you enjoy?” Here is what women in central Wisconsin had to say.

— Jan Kuehlman, Daily Herald Media

“We go to the Splash Pad at Marathon Park once or twice a week, the Weston water park at least once a week to swim, and just recently, we had a family picnic at the beautiful Eau Claire Dells.”

— Erin Bailey, 35, Wausau

“I like wakeboarding with friends on Lake Wausau, DuBay and up north. I had a baby last year, so I’m really looking forward to it this summer.”

— Gina Lange, 33, Wausau

“Going to Lake Superior, walking along the beaches, picking up rocks and swimming if it’s warm enough.”

— Peggy Kurth, 50, Wausau

“I get out to Eau Pleine Park at least once in summer just to enjoy the beach for a day.

I have a good-size vegetable garden,and I like to water that. There is satisfaction in doing that, and good food results.”

The Bookworm “The Lost Art of Dress” by Linda Przybyszewski, c.2014, Basic Books, $28.99, 347 pages

“Invisible Ellen” by Shari Shattuck, c.2014, Putnam, $26.95, 295 pages

“The Lost Art of Dress”

by Linda Przybyszewski is, for sure, a fashionista’s dream.

In this book, Przybyszewski explains how the “art” of clothing got your great-grandma by at a time when most women had just two dresses: one for church and one for every day. You’ll learn why hats and gloves were de rigueur for Grandma, and why Mom’s generation blew fashion apart. This is a freshly nostalgic, very informative, fun book that will have you searching in your closet with a new eye.

If quirky-weird is what you’re dying for this summer, then look for “Invisible Ellen” by Shari Shattuck. It’s the story of an almost-300-pound woman who decides she must be invisible: nobody pays any attention to her, so that must be it, right? But when a blind girl “notices” Ellen on the bus and they strike up a friendship, the invisible woman sees that there’s more to life than a one-room apartment and a dead-end job.

Bring a tissue. That is all.

“The Promise” by Ann Weisgarber, c.2013, 2014, Skyhorse Publishing, $24.95, 310 pages If you’re up for a touching, beautiful love story that’s not quite a romance, then look for “The Promise” by Ann Weisgarber.

It’s the story of a woman who’s embroiled in a scandal and escapes to marry a man she knew once. He was never suitor material to her, but it’s 1900 and she needs a husband – quick. Coincidentally, he’s a widower and needs a wife and mother for his son. But there’s another woman in the picture and, well, I can’t tell you what happens. Just read the book. Really.

SMELL THE

ROSES

Looking To Take A Healthier Approach?

Great for...

• Mincing Herbs

Lee Reich

• Chopping Nuts

Associated Press

• Blending Sauces

Wave after wave of scent has filled the air since my garden awakened in spring. Most prominent have been the aromas from daffodil blossoms, plum, flowering currant, and lately dame’s rocket, pinks and roses.

• Slicing Produce

Of course, it’s not for us that flowers waft those sometimes delectable aromas. Evolutionarily speaking, we don’t return the favor with anything more than the carbon dioxide that we — and all other animals — breathe out, and that plants use for photosynthesis.

Great for...

• Frozen Desserts

Flowers release their aromas to attract pollinators. As such, floral aromas might mimic countless other kinds of aromas, depending on just what creature a particular flower is trying to attract.

• Healthy Smoothies

Some of those floral aromas are actually unpleasant to us. Skunk cabbage (smelly and inedible) is a good example, but there are worse — or better — examples. The arum lily of South Africa, for example: From its spathe, a spike-like inflorescence of many small flowers rising up from what looks like an upended purple skirt, wafts the smell of rotting flesh. This aroma is perfect for attracting the carrion beetles that pollinate this plant.

• Homemade Hummus

• Hot Soup

High Performance Kitchen Tools and Gadgets for the Chef in your Home

But on to more pleasant aromas — for instance, flowers that mimic pheromones, the scents that female animals give off to signal their readiness to mate. Of course, those ersatz pheromones coming from flowers are directed at insects, because they are the ones flowers want to attract to perform pollination.

Aromas that please humans What makes a scent pleasing to humans? Perhaps, as with bees, some aromas conjure up pleasant primeval associations. At any rate, we like them enough to put great effort into capturing and bottling them.

As an alternative to the elaborate extraction and fixing of floral aromas, consider planting a rose outside your back door, then stepping outside and putting your nose to it. Even better, plant a spectrum of scented blossoms for sensory thrills from late winter to late fall.

Summer calorie traps Enjoy your seasonal treats in moderation to eat healthfully Summer is the season for family gatherings, sporting events, barbeques, and other fun-filled activities. These occasions also usually include food, and not always the healthiest options.

Of course you don’t want to miss out on any of the action, but you also don’t want all your hard work with Samantha healthy eating thus far to go out the window. Below Bulgrin are some tips to help you keep that healthy eating plan on track and to avoid some of summer’s biggest calorie traps.

Desserts with fruit Fruit is a wonderful addition to your diet, especially in the summer! But don’t let fruit desserts fool you. Just because an item also has some fruit in it, doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice.

There are loads of ways to turn fresh fruit into tasty desserts at home, but generally fruit-based seasonal options at restaurants are still packed with calories.

Fair food The fair experience just isn’t the same without a taste of cheese curds, funnel cakes, deep-fried everything and something on a stick. When Enjoy some funnel cake, in moderation. GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

you take your yearly trip to the carnival/fair/amusement park, don’t feel guilty about indulging in your favorite treat. Do, however, feel guilty if you park yourself on a bench and do nothing but eat your favorite treats all day! Just keep in mind that these types of foods are so packed with calories and fat that you’re not doing yourself any favors. Plan accordingly – have a healthy meal before you go, or even pack a few of your own snacks to enjoy along the way. That way you keep yourself on track for the majority of the day, but still get to enjoy the good stuff.

Salads Salads are such an easy and appealing summer entrée. But that bowl of refreshing veggies and lean meat can go from healthy to disastrous pretty quickly.

Toppings tend to be the culprits, like deep-fried meats, bacon, cheese, candied nuts and creamy dressings. This is especially true when out to eat, so be careful to pay attention to all the ingredients your salad is offering.

GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO

Barbeques Grilling is an excellent cooking technique, but your healthy eating plans can be nudged off track if the items grilled are too high in fat, such as ribs, hot dogs and other meats that come from the fattiest part of the

animal. Choose things like tenderloin, skinless chicken breast and lean ground beef instead. Don’t forget about the other food groups either; fruit and veggies are great on the grill too!

Tailgating Tailgating before your favorite sporting event is most definitely a summer tradition that goes hand in hand with food (and sometimes adult beverages). As Homemade lemonade mentioned above, make sure to choose GETTY IMAGES/ISTOCKPHOTO lean meats to grill. Even if you choose the low-fat versions of hot dogs and brats, they are still high in sodium. As far as your beverages, sticking to low-calorie options is best, such as light beers, spritzers or a mixed drink with seltzer or just a splash of 100 percent fruit juice.

Other summer beverages Nothing beats quenching your thirst on a scorching day with a giant glass of your favorite ice-cold beverage. But be mindful of all those extra calories you might be drinking. Lemonade, soda, sweet tea, smoothies, milkshakes and iced coffees could very likely be the offenders sabotaging your healthy eating routine. You don’t have to eliminate these types of drinks completely, but there are always ways to transform them into a better option.

Extraordinary Skill.

Exceptional Results.

Frozen treats

It’s what our specialized surgeons

What’s summer without ice cream?! A cup of soft-serve ice cream could have something like 350 calories, so if you include that on occasion, your healthy eating plan can stay intact. But if you consistently upgrade to the largest size and add candy toppings and hot fudge, your goal to eat healthy is probably compromised. You definitely do not need to give up your favorite frozen treat, just be mindful of the portion size. Look for items such as sherbet, fudgcicles, fruit bars and other lower-calorie delights.

Turning blue 10 fresh ways to use fresh blueberries

By J.M. Hirsch AP Food Editor

There are muffins, of course. And pancakes. And the obligatory fruit salad.

But then what? After all the usual suspects, how do you handle a seasonal abundance of blueberries?

As long as you’re willing to consider a few fresh approaches, it’s actually easy and delicious to press them into service. Start by ditching the idea that they only work in sweets. The juicy, slightly acidic berries work wonders with meat. In fact, the Native Americans used blueberries to season dried meats.

them only in recipes that involve cooking them.

But first, a few storage tips.

Blueberries keep best when stored dry. In other words, wash them only as you use them. Until then, keep them lightly covered and refrigerated.

If you freeze them, the flavor will be fine, but the texture will be different. So once frozen, it’s best to use

To freeze blueberries, wash them, then spread them on a rimmed baking sheet. Gently dry them with paper towels, then freeze them in a single layer on the baking sheet. Once frozen, the berries can be bagged.

Vinaigrette: Add a handful of blueberries to a blender with a 3:1 ratio of oil and vinegar (balsamic or red wine would be good), as well as a hit of salt and pepper. Blend until mostly smooth.

Sweet and chilly snack: Follow the method above for freezing, but instead of drying the washed berries, roll them in coarse sugar, then freeze. Eat them as is for a sweet treat.

Compote: Saute 1 finely diced yellow onion in a bit of butter. Add 1 cup blueberries, a bit of grated fresh ginger and a

Creamed: Mound fresh berries in a bowl, then drizzle with heavy cream. Follow that by a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Cordial: Bring 1 cup of blueberries and 1â &#x201E;2 cup of sugar to a simmer and cook until the berries are broken down and thickened. Strain through a mesh strainer, discarding any solids.

Divide the mixture between 4 tumblers. Add ice, then top with vodka or gin.

Amber Myska Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good in everyone Social worker uses her gifts to strengthen families

By Karla Swita For Daily Herald Media

18

Amber Myska sees the good in everyone, but she’s no Pollyanna.

As a social worker, she’s widely aware of the harsh realities of life.

Myska, 40, is a supervisor of children’s support services for Marathon County Social Services, where she’s worked since 2002.

She’s been in the thick of family problems related to child abuse and neglect and has witnessed the physical and emotional scars it leaves. She’s seen parents ignore their child’s most basic needs, yet is still able to identify decent qualities in them and maintain a belief that all human beings are valuable.

“It’s in my nature to accept people where they’re at. I think about what happened in their own lives that brought them to where they are today,” Myska said.

“Believe it or not, there are many people who have grown up in environments where they didn’t have someone telling them positive things. It’s important to show them that they are worthwhile and they can develop the necessary skills to thrive and flourish,” she said.

Having the innate ability to see good characteristics in others allows Myska to form a bond, find common ground and facilitate a client’s progress. She calls it her gift from God. “I’m not here to judge; I’m here to help,” she said.

Help comes in the form of caseworkers working with families to find solutions to daily problems and connecting parents with other community resources that assist in improving their child’s condition.

AMBER’S FAVORITE PARENTING TIPS Part of Myska’s job is to provide proven parenting advice.

Regardless of income levels, she finds that many families struggle with having enough time together because of parents’ work schedules and kids being engaged in several activities outside of the home. One solution she offers is a website, www.therealhappyhour.org, which provides low-cost ideas for families who want to gain more quality time together.

Here are five other parenting tips Myska offers: 1. Praise your children by saying “I love you,” “I am proud of you” and “You did a great job.”

2. Focus on family dinnertime. It’s a way to connect with your children and find out about their days.

3. Spend 15 minutes a day with each of your children and let them lead the activity. This increases self-esteem, strengthens your relationship with them and teaches them to be a leader.

4. When parenting is challenging, it’s OK for parents to take a “Time Out.” This is healthy and produces better results when everyone has time to calm down and think.

5. Check out the website Raise Great Kids at www. raisegreatkids.org for more parenting tips.

Myska oversees Children’s Long Term Support, Family Support and Foster Care programs for Marathon County Social Services, with a focus on providing services to children with disabilities and their families so they can better function at home.

“I cannot tell you how good it is to see families progress and become healthy,” she said. “I’m fortunate to have families that still contact me after 12 years just to ask questions.”

Myska is passionate about being a positive force for change and strives to be a good role model for her clients. Growing up in Wausau, her own role model was her mother, Linda Berna-Karger, who worked for Marathon County Social Services as a financial manager for 35 years.

“My mom says that I was always the little helper. As I aged, I continued to be interested in helping people. I’ve been fortunate to have influenced many people over my lifeftime,” Myska said.

Myska earned a bachelor’s degree in social work from University Wisconsin-Green Bay and a Master’s in social work from UW-Milwaukee.

Family life in Wausau is not only the concentration of her career; it’s also the center of her world. She and her husband, Brad, an attorney with the Jerome A. Maeder Law Firm, have two children, ages 5 and 7, and enjoy the outdoors together by snowmobiling, skiing and boating. Myska said she finds balance between work and family through a good support system inside and outside of work, a network of friends and a strong spiritual life.

By Danielle Pahl Daily Herald Media

If you want to plan a weekend getaway filled with lounging, time to sleep in late or just to get off your feet, you might want to look somewhere else. Green Bay, Wisconsinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third largest city, offers such a large array of attractions, shopping and restaurants, you might need a second getaway to recover.

4 p.m. Friday: Check in at St. Brendanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inn, 234 S. Washington St., a Celtic-themed guesthouse in downtown Green Bay. The inn, which also features a restaurant and pub, offers 28 rooms with handcrafted maple furniture, whirlpool baths and walk-in rain showers and is within walking distance of many downtown hot spots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The inn reminds everyone of Ireland,â&#x20AC;? said General Manager Ashley Oats. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It features heirloom furniture, stained glass and dark cherry-finished wood.â&#x20AC;?

8 a.m. Saturday: You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to go too far for breakfast, since the inn offers guests Celtic-style and Irish-American meals beginning at 8 a.m. on the weekends, a few hours before opening for the public. Make sure to try the St. Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stuffed Croissant French Toast: a croissant filled with Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cream cheese and served with maple syrup and potato-scallion cake.

9 a.m. Saturday: Walk just outside the inn to find the the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saturday farmers market. It begins near the inn, extends two blocks to Walnut Street and overflows into side streets. You will find a variety of produce, prepared food, flowers and craft items from some 110 local vendors. The Saturday market has been a staple in the community for 96 years and sees 5,000 to 8,000 people in attendance each week, said Jeff Mirkes, executive director of Downtown Green Bay Inc. The Green Bay Botanical Gardens offers 47 acres of plant and flower displays with special events throughout the summer. PHOTO COURTESY GREEN BAY BOTANICAL GARDENS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real festive feel at this market,â&#x20AC;? Mirkes said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has a more urban feel because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the heart of downtown.â&#x20AC;?

the end of the market, cross the Walnut Street bridge to Broadway Street, a downtown hotspot. Strolling the streets, you will find various apparel and decor boutiques. If you get a bit hungry, stop in one of the various restaurants to experience Asian, Mediterranean, Hispanic or southern-style cuisine.

2 p.m. Saturday: Head back to the inn, grab the car and drive to the Green Bay Botanical Gardens, 2600 Larsen Road. Make sure you set aside enough time to experience all 47 acres of more flowers and plants than you can name. The $9 pass is well worth the price to experience the beauties of nature and offers the perfect opportunity to stop and smell the roses, literally. Check out the garden’s website for special events throughout the summer: www.gbbg.org.

5 p.m. Saturday: There is no way you can come to Green Bay and leave without touring Lambeau Field, 1265 Lombardi Ave. Choose from three options of tours lasting an hour or more, with tickets starting at $10 depending on your preference and what you want to see. After the tour, visit the Packers Pro Shop for a few souvenirs. Before leaving, stop in one of the stadium’s bars decked out in all that is the green and gold.

8 p.m. Saturday: Kroll’s, 1990 S. Ridge Road is one of Green Bay’s hidden gems. Across the street to the stadium’s west, the family-owned restaurant serves one of the best burgers in town. Ask for the 1936 classic Original Kroll’s Hamburger, a quarter-pound hamburger you will not regret ordering. But make sure you come hungry or save room for their chili; another city favorite.

9:30 p.m. Saturday: For a night of fun, head to Oneida Bingo and Casino, 2020 Airport Drive. With over 850 slots, eight tables of poker, a number of table games, and BINGO, you’re sure to be betting until 4 a.m.

3 p.m. Sunday: There is no better way to end a weekend getaway than with ice cream, and Zesty’s Frozen Custard and Grill, 508 Greene Ave., has some of the best custard in town. Once you step into the store, you are immediately greeted with brightly colored walls, a checkered floor and giant ice cream cones. The abundance of malts, shakes, sundaes and signature scramblers will make it difficult for you to decide what to get, but you can never go wrong with a few scoops of their chocolate custard.

Art, history, nature See these 5 sights for free in Minneapolis-St. Paul

By Doug Glass Associated Press

Like many places that endure long, difficult winters, Minnesota comes alive when the weather warms up. So as residents of the Twin Cities — as Minneapolis and St. Paul are known — head north to the lakes, the city’s attractions truly open up to visiting out-of-towners.

As in any urban area, some of the best are free. Next time you wander over to Wisconsin’s neighbor to the west, pay a visit to one or more of these Twin Cities gems.

1

Stone Arch Bridge and Mississippi River overlook

Minneapolis traces its roots to lumber and grain milling.

History buffs can get a feel for those early days with an amble across the Stone Arch Bridge just north of downtown. The mighty St. Anthony Falls powered mills that helped build the city, and the Falls still roar today, misting pedestrians and cyclists as they read plaques about the history.

Look south toward downtown to see the few remaining grain elevators, topped by the iconic GOLD MEDAL FLOUR sign first erected more than a century ago. Nearby Mill Ruins Park offers a tumbledown cross-section of old millworks. If that’s not enough, the Mill City Museum (not free) has more on the city’s flour past, with hands-on activities for kids and adults.

The Minneapolis skyline is illuminated in the background from the historic Stone Arch Bridge over the Mississippi River. AP

A block away, get another fine view of Minneapolis’ revitalized riverfront from the Guthrie Theater, where Jean Nouvel’s “Endless Bridge” juts toward the river on one of the longest occupied cantilevers in the world. The ninth floor offers visitors a fun test of courage if they’re willing to step onto a glass floor, though it’s sadly distorted by the yellow glass enclosure.

3

Minneapolis Institute of Arts

A popular summer spot is Minnehaha Park, a sprawling green space in the city’s southeast quadrant that has hosted family picnics and outdoor concerts for generations.

The Walker Art Center is known for modern art, but the place to see more traditional treasures is the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Its 87,000 objects include Van Gogh’s “Olive Trees,” Rembrandt’s “Lucretia,” a nearly 2,000-year-old bronze horse from the Han dynasty and a late 1700s Charleston drawing room, once part of a wealthy merchant’s home.

Two blocks away is “Eat Street,” a cavalcade of ethnic restaurants along three blocks of Nicollet Avenue.

24

Minnehaha Falls

The star attraction is the falls, named in the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem “Song of Hiawatha” and at their roaring best in early summer when water volume typically is high. The Minnehaha Creek tumbles 53 feet over jagged limestone into a basin beneath a sort of half-cave before it continues into the Mississippi River. Visitors can get a view from above the falls or take stairs to creek level to see them from below.

There’s a casual seafood-themed joint in the park pavilion; enjoy a fish taco (not free) on the patio watching families figuring out quad bike rentals.

Como Park Zoo and Conservatory

St. Paul’s Como Park Zoo is small enough to be kid-friendly, but big enough to hold lions and tigers and polar bears, oh my! Not to mention a Gorilla Forest and Wolf Woods. The Sparky the Sea Lion show has been a favorite since 1956, with a succession of performers as Sparky; the current mammal turns 14 this summer. Zoo keepers give daily free talks.

The glassed-in Conservatory shows off tropical and other exotic plants year-round in a variety of indoor and outdoor gardens, including a Japanese garden with a bonsai pavilion. It’s a popular venue for weddings and a refuge from harsh Minnesota winters. Admission and parking are free; suggested donation $3 for adults, $2 for children. Rides on 100-year-old Cafesjian’s Carousel and attractions in the Como Town amusement park cost extra.

5

Summit Avenue walk

Take a trip to the past with a stroll down St. Paul’s Summit Avenue, home to stately Victorian mansions, massive churches and Mount Zion Temple (founded by the first Jewish settlers to Minnesota), colleges, groomed lawns and towering trees.

Bicyclists cruise the 4-mile stretch of pavement and joggers pound the wide sidewalks, but you can imagine Jazz-Age author F. Scott Fitzgerald, whose birthplace is a few blocks off Summit, sauntering down the shady street. You might even run into humorist Garrison Keillor, whose Georgian Revival home is on Summit, or Gov. Mark Dayton, who lives with his German shepherds in the Governor’s Mansion donated by a lumberman’s family to the state in 1965.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

Designer Eunice Gardner sits in a room she designed in a home on Wausau’s east side. PHOTOS BY T'XER ZHON KHA/DAILY HERALD MEDIA

Start with the basics

By Joy Marquardt For Daily Herald Media

Designer: Eunice Gardner Company: Ethan Allen, 2107 Robin Lane, Wausau Personal style: Gardner likes to experiment by mixing the old with the new, the traditional with other decorating styles.

“I love to mix it up,” Gardner said. “I like mixing vintage country with an-up-town flair or the traditional with the new.”

Clients today prefer an eclectic look; the era of having everything match is gone, she said.

Gardner tends to gravitate toward a neutral color pallet, adding a pop of color with reds and blues through accessorizing. She enjoys mixing fabrics and textures such as woods and leather and also shapes and patterns to create a unique blend.

The warm brown sofa comes to life with berry and patterned pillows.

“Everyone has a different need or request,” she said. “Everyone has a different style. I’m always up for the challenge.”

Make your wardrobe bloom!

Designer Eunice Gardner likes to mix decorating styles.

A contemporary bird sculpture is reflected in the mirror over the fireplace.

Decorating tip: When you have the opportunity to start with an empty room, plan a vision for the entire room and begin with the basics.

“When you start with a room like a living room, you want to think about a sofa and a couple of chairs, and you will be able to start using the room,” Gardner said. “You can think about adding other pieces later.”

The same concept applies to a bedroom, where a bed, dresser and possibly a night stand are the most important pieces to begin with. In a dining room, you will need a table, chairs and a lighting fixture over the table to make the room livable. Other pieces of furniture and

accessories are secondary and can be added as budget allows.

also accented with brightly patterned throw pillows and a plaid lamb’s wool throw covering. A dual-fabric settee complements the chestnut brown of the sofa and is accented with a geometric pattern with a bright berry and gold trim.

“You need to have a plan, or your budget might not work,” she said. “When it’s all finished, it will be well worth it, and it will all come together.”

The conversation area is completed with a large bright berry velvet ottoman, which serves as a coffee table set over the top of a neutral contemporary shag pile area rug.

Favorite room design: A re-make of a living room for a mother and two daughters in a historic home on Wausau’s east side.

“A lot of people like the ottomans because people’s lifestyles are about comfort,” Gardner said. “You can use them for extra seating, or you can put a tray on them and serve beverages. It becomes a dual purpose.”

“It’s one of the oldest homes in Wausau, and it’s very traditional,” Gardner said. “We wanted to mix the traditional with the contemporary.”

Gardner began by creating a coffee conversation area with a sofa, two chairs and a settee grouped around the existing fireplace. A tufted-back sofa in a warm chestnut brown is complimented by bright berry colored pillows. Two tufted-back club chairs upholstered with a chevron fabric are

The room is completed with two mirrored obelisks and a contemporary bird sculpture placed over the existing wall mirror above the fireplace. The mirror is flanked by two electric sconces that were original to the home. Gardner added beaded shades to soften the lighting and to give the lights a more contemporary feel.
