No Place Like Home
Just before the holidays, we decided to repaint the interior of our house, turning it into a temporary construction zone for several weeks. As the painters moved from room to room, we lost access to certain spaces for days at a time. Our garage became a makeshift workshop, and the daily influx of workers brought with it unfamiliar smells and a cloud of dust. We shuffled from one area to another, trying to stay out of the way.
The process was challenging, but the transformation has been worth every inconvenience. Much like how going on vacation makes you appreciate home even more, this temporary upheaval has proven that absence really does make the heart grow fonder.
Our home now feels like an entirely new space — one that truly reflects "us." This experience has deepened my gratitude for the physical structure that provides us with comfort, protection and a sense of belonging. After all, there is no place like home!
This month we celebrate Home & Design by focusing on four local companies that can help you find and create a space that feels like home. Circle Real Estate offers guidance to get you where you're going in the buying and selling process. Plutus Marble shares expertise on selecting the right stone for your look and lifestyle. Modish Pools presents pool pros and cons for your own backyard. Russell Painting talks tips and trends when it comes to bringing beauty and protection to your home through paint.
Last but certainly not least, Family Promise of Hamilton County addresses the issue of homelessness in our own city and what we can do to help keep local families safe and secure.
So sit back in your favorite spot in your home and page through our March issue. We invite you in. You're always welcome here.

Dive Right In
Bring Home-A-Rama Style to Your Backyard Pool
You’ve heard it before. The water’s great . . . dive right in!
However, building a swimming pool in your backyard is not a decision you want to dive into without a great deal of thoughtful consideration.
Matt Harms, owner of Modish Pools, recognizes that. To build a pool, the first hurdle is that the client must really want a pool.
“I’ve not sold a single pool since I started this business,” Harms says. “I get inquiries, and I try to present the facts that allow the client to determine if it's the right fit for them.”
Clearly, Harms doesn’t view himself as a sales person. Rather, he sees himself as a guide, walking his clients through the design and construction process.
Having spent his entire professional career in the construction industry, Harms strives to provide clients a similar experience to what they would encounter if they were building a new home or doing a major home remodel, steering homeowners through choices on pool design, materials, sanitation and more.
“Appearance, cost and maintenance are all things to take into account when discussing your pool options,” Harms states, “but you also need to consider which system will provide the best swimming experience for you, your family and your guests.”
Unlike most area pool builders, Modish Pools offers all three types of traditional in-ground pool construction options: vinyl liner, fiberglass and gunite. Vinyl lined pools are often the most economical option, while fiberglass pools often provide the most expeditious construction cycle. However, gunite, which is essentially concrete
mixed on site, can be fashioned to create virtually any shape or structural feature. This easily allows for special additions such as negative edges, grottos, water features and underwater benches, making it a popular choice for homeowners who want to create a unique, personalized swimming experience in their backyards.
Modish specialists also offer both chlorine and salt water sanitation systems as well as diatomaceous earth (DE), cartridge and sand filtration systems.
“Every option has certain pros and cons,” Harms says. “We try to provide information and manage expectations so that people understand what they’re purchasing.”
Sometimes homeowners ask about maintenancefree pools.
“I always tell them that there is no such thing as a maintenance-free swimming pool,” Harms says. “It is always going to come with a certain amount of responsibility, but we can plan ahead to try to minimize that as much as possible. We make design decisions that are not going to increase that work but make it as manageable as possible.”
CONTINUED >
Another request Modish often gets is to recreate a look a client has seen online or in a magazine. Harms says that, despite the fact that design inspirations prove helpful, it's important to understand that what is being done in Florida, California or other warm weather locations may not be advisable given Indiana’s climate. As a result, Modish offers solutions-based suggestions to achieve the desired look in a more functional way.
“We try to be problem solvers and find solutions that fit the market we’re in,” he says.
However, Harms never wants to limit a person’s imagination or customization.
“Every pool we build is different in some way from the previous,” Harms says. “Our business is custom pools, so our goal for every project is to create original designs that are unique to each of our clients. We walk them down the path to the perfect pool for them, translating what’s in their heads into a plan and leading them to accessories and additions that will make their pool experience more than they ever dreamed it could be.”
Making a Splash
When looking for a builder for your pool project, you want to find a company you can trust.
Here are a few items to consider:
• Do representatives communicate effectively?
• Do they address my concerns professionally?
• Do they understand my vision?
• Will they carry out my wishes in a timely manner?
• Does the company stand behind its work during and after the project?

FULL CIRCLE
Buying to Selling

Founder and President Jason O'Neil (Photo by Logan Clark Thynk Creative)
You know what they say about real estate — location, location, location.
Circle Real Estate has perhaps the perfect location to serve the people of Carmel. In the Carmel Arts & Design District, Circle is easily recognizable by the iconic Brickhead Human sculpture by New York artist James Tyler.
“Our location is a billboard,” says Jason O’Neil, Circle founder and president. “It involves us in the community, but it also lets people know that we are at the heart of Carmel.”
In 2021, O’Neil acquired the former fine art gallery at 30 W. Main St. A residential real estate agent for 18 years, O’Neil recognizes that living and working spaces are more than simply structures — they reflect personal style and passion.
“We were very thoughtful with the design of the space in maintaining the gallery,” he says.
Circle has continued to welcome art connoisseurs and buyers into the fine art gallery and even offer art staging services when listing and selling homes.
They also support talented artists and citywide events. This continued investment in the local community plays a part in what makes Circle Real Estate the premier boutique real estate firm in the area.
So what does “boutique” mean when it comes to a real estate firm?
Contrary to what some might think, it doesn’t necessarily mean small or expensive. Rather, boutique brokers offer bespoke services focused on a specific market — certain types of homes, neighborhoods and price points.
“Your local boutique broker costs roughly the same price,” O’Neil states. “The only difference is that they are not going to sell every home under the sun like the other guys. They’re not going to attract every type of buyer or seller.”
For example, rather than spreading themselves thin, Realtors at Circle pride themselves on helping clients find premier six- and seven-figure homes. They study that market and cultivate a holistic understanding of it.
“I like to tell our folks we want to be an inch wide and a mile deep,” O’Neil says.
Most people think that real estate agents find homes, show homes and manage paperwork. Indeed, that’s the extent of what many do. O’Neil calls these the “easy things.”

He says Circle agents do what is much harder, working to mitigate risks and fiercely advocate for what their clients want and need.
"Buying and selling a home is not just complex — it’s a big deal in people’s lives,” O’Neil says. “There is a lot at stake financially and emotionally. At some point in the transaction people face tough decisions — something they didn’t expect. Having a trusted adviser that did expect it or has been there before can save the transaction and your sanity.”
Circle Real Estate offers home alerts and can give potential clients an automated equity evaluation on the value of their home, similar to what financial advisors may provide.
However, according to O’Neil, the home buying and selling experience is unique to every situation and should be treated as such. Elements such as price, timing and urgency mean that no two transactions are alike. Nevertheless, many real estate agents treat clients as if one size fits all.
“Realtors should bring clarity to an otherwise unclear situation,” O’Neil says. “They should instill confidence in the process, and they should commit themselves to your unique situation.”
Chances are that if Realtors work for a boutique brokerage they receive the best in training, courses and conferences across the country.
“As a result, their professional habits and systems are far more successful than outdated corporate systems,” O’Neil says.
INNER CIRCLE GALLERY | QUINN JOHNSON, DIRECTOR
The gallery displays around 35 pieces of artwork at any given time from local, national and international artists. All art is for sale, and the gallery is open to the public by appointment. Johnson was instrumental in bringing the Carmel Arts & Design District and much of Carmel’s public art to fruition.

“Realtors should bring clarity to an otherwise unclear situation. They should instill confidence in the process, and they should commit themselves to your unique situation.”
A broker who handles hundreds of deals every day often comes with a wait time in resolving issues, according to O’Neil. On the other hand, boutique brokers and their teams are able to jump in immediately and help with any issues that might derail a deal.
Circle agents recognize that buying or selling a home is more than a business transaction.
“Your home is an investment in your happiness,” O’Neil says. “It’s where you make memories and where you go on good or bad days.”
O’Neil and his agents keep that in mind when sitting down with buyers and sellers.
“You don’t just pick up your life and move it somewhere else without being intentional,” he says. “We go through a lengthy series of conversations about what our clients’ motivations are, what their timing is, where they’re going and why.”
In the case of selling a home, these in-depth conversations help Circle agents put together a marketing business plan to put a property on the market and get it in front of the most likely buyers. With those looking to purchase, O’Neil says he will often lead his clients through visualization exercises to help them determine if homes they like are really the right fit for their lifestyle.
Circle Real Estate not only aims to protect their clients’ money but also to protect their sanity and peace of mind.
“This leads to a better broker-client relationship,” O’Neil says, “one that can continue for years to come rather than for one single transaction.”

A FRESH COAT OF PAINT YIELDS BEAUTY AND PROTECTION
ARTICLE BY AMY ADAMS
PHOTOGRAPHY BY LOGAN CLARK (THYNK CREATIVE)
You might say paint runs in the Russell family blood.
Eric Russell’s father, Bill, a fireman who was looking for a side business, started Russell Painting Company in 1979 in Richmond, Indiana. Russell worked for his dad through high school and on breaks in college. In fact, Russell fondly remembers painting with his grandfather, who was also a fireman and painted on the side.
“Just knowing that when I started I actually worked in the field with my grandpa and knowing that my dad was the boss that was showing up means a lot to me,” Russell says.
With nearly 45 years of experience in the industry, Russell is proud to have successfully brought the family business to another market, having opened a branch of Russell Painting in the Indianapolis area in 1993. He took over full ownership of the satellite in Indianapolis in 2006 and incorporated in 2010.
“What I really like is that my brother is running the business my dad started in Richmond, and I’m running the one here,” Russell says.
Russell Painting Company of Indianapolis is a full-service residential and commercial painting company that has completed more than 1,600 projects, both interior and exterior, throughout the Indianapolis area, including in schools, churches, businesses and hundreds of homes.
“One thing my dad always liked about painting is that when you’re done, people can see the change. We change the aesthetics that people see every day, and that’s the beauty of it.”
While paint plays a huge role in creating the overall look of buildings and homes, Russell stresses that paint is more than a simple cosmetic update. It is vital to protecting your home or business.
“The paint on the exterior and interior walls of your home acts somewhat like a layer of skin, helping to protect the surface materials below the paint from damage and wear that can occur over time,” Russell states.
Carmel City Lifestyle caught up with Russell at a recent project repainting the brightly colored interior of Goldfish Swim School. He loves doing projects like this that he knows benefit a broad portion of the local community, plus his own kids have been involved in the Carmel swim community for years.

PAINTING tips & trends
TO DO IT YOURSELF . . . OR NOT
Some people think painting is an improvement project they can tackle themselves. However, doing the job correctly includes these three cornerstones of Russell Painting: thorough cleaning and preparation, taking the time to prime and not skimping on quality materials.
Russell wants do-it-yourselfers to know that undertaking what is often a two-professional job is not an easy task, and it will likely take longer than anticipated. He also reminds people that correcting a job done improperly is often more expensive than paying a professional from the beginning.
Hiring an expert to paint your home or businesses ensures that the job gets done more quickly, more efficiently and more consistently, Russell says. He also recommends finding a company that is established in the community and gives back through sponsorships and volunteerism.
“Russell Painting Company is established, insured, easily located online with great reviews and gives back by sponsoring local teams and donating to school events and charities,” Russell says.
PAINTING TRENDS
Color is making a comeback, according to Jamie Gauker, owner and designer at J. Gauker Interiors.
“In my opinion, warm tones are definitely trending,” Gauker says.
She sees an increase in the use of Sherwin Williams colors Natural Linen and Natural Tan. She also reminds clients that black is a color. In fact, Sherwin Williams Iron Ore is one of her favorites.
“I like dark colors,” Russell says. “Larger rooms with a lot of light can handle dark colors more easily.”
Gauker describes another emerging trend called “color drenching,” which involves painting an entire room, trim and all, in a deep color. When using darker paint, Gauker recommends flat or matte paint, and Russell says primer is even more vital.
However, Gauker says it is still popular to use color as an accent, and Russell says that the trend of painting trim in shades of white semigloss is not going away anytime soon.
“You should look at paint as an accessory and as art,” Gauker advises. “You should have fun with it, and it should reflect your personality.”

SELECTING THE RIGHT STONE FOR YOUR LOOK AND LIFESTYLE
ARTICLE BY AMY ADAMS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SARAH SHIELDS PHOTOGRAPHY AND PROVIDED
When it comes to choosing durable countertops for your kitchen, a luxurious look for your bathroom or a welcoming workspace for your office, the options can be seemingly endless.
How do you know if you should go with marble, quartzite, dolomite or granite? From cost to color to cleaning, each selection offers pros and cons.
That’s why you need a place where you can see all the choices in one location.
Plutus Marble’s 5,000-square-foot warehouse showcases the largest selection of natural stone in Indiana.
“We’re an import distributor,” says Rob Santarossa, Plutus director of sales. “Our focus is to be a stone boutique. We’re the only one here in the state, and we have more marble and exotic stone than anyone.”
Santarossa and Plutus CEO Darik Campbell, bring more than 45 years of experience in the industry, with Santarossa’s being in fabrication and Campbell’s being in supply. They have literally travelled the world to top locations to source stone. In addition to Italy, which Santarossa describes as “the place,” Plutus brings in luxury stone from Brazil, Mexico, Namibia, Turkey and, of course, the United States.
“Marble has always been our first love,” Campbell says. “The look and feel of marble is something that cannot be duplicated by other engineered materials.”
He says the Cristallo options Plutus has been importing offer a depth and level of translucence many clients are seeking. Outside of the classic Calacatta Gold, Borghini, Statuario and Carrara marbles, Campbell and Santarossa look for unique marble that you won't see in every house or business. Plutus also sources quartzite, dolomite and granite.
“We handpick the most beautiful stones that you can't find anywhere else and that provide a ‘wow’ factor,” Campbell states. “We pride ourselves on buying the best blocks available."
Santarossa and Plutus Sales Representative Stephanie Riwitis agree that Campbell has an uncanny ability to project trends.
Right now, Taj Mahal quartzite is probably the most popular stone choice in the world, according to Campbell. Riwitis says Sky White dolomite is another top seller. However, the Plutus showroom boasts stone in virtually any color, from lilac to red jasper.
Campbell says clients often fall in love at first sight; however, not every stone is a perfect fit for every application. That’s where Plutus’ bespoke service comes into play.
“Homeowners and designers come in, and we help them navigate the process of selecting stone,” Riwitis says.
Campbell says the Plutus team enjoys educating clients on how certain stones will react and perform in regard to their specific projects.
“As a team, we take the time with the client discussing the differences in the stone classifications and what to expect,” Campbell says. “We want the client to enjoy the stone.”
Following is a brief description of just some of the stone options available for quality countertops, islands, backsplashes and accent walls:
Granite: Popular in mid- to high-end homes, granite provides a durable option that can be found in a variety of natural colors and
patterns, but it does require periodic sealing to prevent stains.
Quartzite: A natural stone, quartzite marries the sophisticated look of marble with a durability similar to quartz. However, like granite, it does need to be sealed to prevent staining.
Dolomite: Found in shades of white and gray, dolomite can make an elegant statement. Though it does need to be sealed, dolomite provides greater heat- and scratch-resistance than marble and at a lower price tag.
Marble: Marble brings an uncontested timelessness to any space. However, its beauty makes it more susceptible to scratches and stains and less practical for those who need a surface requiring lower maintenance.
Whether it’s for an expansive custom home or a high-end commercial space, with the help of the Plutus team, clients are sure to find just the right stone for their needs in Plutus Marble’s boutique gallery.
Plutus moved to a new location in May 2024, which is designed for clients to walk around and spend a few hours finalizing their selections. The space offers some fun uses for marble beyond countertops, like marble cornhole boards and a soon-to-open natural stone shuffleboard. In addition, a bourbon and wine bar soon will be up and running for clients who would like to sip while they stroll the showroom.
In 2025, Plutus Marble will be featured in the Dream Home, Decorator Showhouse and Home-A-Rama homes.

A ROOF OVER Their Heads
FAMILY PROMISE OF HAMILTON COUNTY AIMS TO END HOMELESSNESS FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
For more than 40 percent of Americans, one added expense can spell financial distress. This threat of crisis looms close for far too many families ... including families in Hamilton County.
Family Promise of Hamilton County exists to ensure that every family in the community has a home, a livelihood and a chance to build a better future. To accomplish this mission, Family Promise helps families achieve sustainable independence by preventing them from spiraling into homelessness. By partnering with local organizations and community agencies, Family Promise works to meet immediate needs of shelter and meals while also offering eviction prevention and stability training.
“We really meet families where they’re at and try to address the barriers to housing,” says Family Promise Executive Director Alicia Klingerman.
In 2024, Family Promise served nearly 775 individuals in a core program. Out of that, 33 families, 116 individuals, were from Clay Township.
Urgent needs include items such as cleaning supplies, toiletries and gas cards.

“I think the biggest misconception is that homelessness is not always obvious,” says Alexis Lowry, Family Promise board president.
