Home Is Where the Heart Is

Darin Black Photography, Benjamin Thacker Photography

THE CONCEPT OF HOME IS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE. For some, home is where the family is. It’s the place where weekends were— or still are—filled with baby snuggles, bedtime stories and Saturday morning cartoons. The place where the smell of bacon and pancakes fills the air on Sunday mornings, "do your homework before you go outside" is a daily mantra and unsnoozable slobbery dog kisses take the place of your morning alarm.

For others, home is where the rest is. It’s the place where, after a long day, they go to relax. Where they spend meaningful time with their significant other, enjoy home-cooked meals and settle in on a comfy couch to catch up on the week's latest guilty pleasure TV shows.

For some, home is where the work is. It's where they build their dreams, where they start their businesses and where they work day in and day out for success.

LAYOUT DESIGNERS

And for us here at Cocoa Beach Lifestyle, home is where the heart is—it's where we get to share meaningful stories with all of you.

Whatever your home may be, we hope you find a piece of it here in this month's issue.

Cocoa Beach Lifestyle | March 2018

CHEF ZORAN STANOJKOVSKI OF CUIZINE RESTAURANT & LOUNGE IN SATELLITE BEACH SHARED WITH US ONE OF HIS FAVORITE DISHES. Below is the recipe you can recreate at home.

REMYMARTIN MARTINFILLET FILET MIGNON, REMY MIGNON, A CLASA CLASSIC FRENCH-STYLE AU POIVRE

SIC FRENCH-STYLE AU POIVRE INGREDIENTS

+ 8 ounces choice grade or above filet mignon + 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour + 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard + 1 tablespoon butter + 2 tablespoons olive oil + Pink Himalayan salt + Fresh cracked black pepper DIRECTIONS 1. Dredge filet in flour and then dredge in Dijon mustard. Season each side with the salt and pepper, to taste. For a proper au poivre, the pepper is traditionally quite heavy.

2. Heat a cast iron skillet on high with 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add filet and sear both sides until golden brown.

3. Add pan to a heated oven of 400 degrees and bake for approximately 6 minutes for rare, or cook to desired temperature.

REMY MARTIN SAUCE: INGREDIENTS

“This filet is popular in many steakhouses; however, I have trouble finding the perfect seasoning. I have made this dish to my liking,

+ 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard + 1/3 cup Remy Martin + Pinch of kosher salt + 1/2 teaspoon green peppercorn + 1/3 cup demi-glacé + 1 teaspoon scallions, sliced + Splash of heavy cream DIRECTIONS 1. In the same skillet, remove filet and add Dijon mustard and whisk. Add Remy Martin cognac or

peppercorn in brine. If you cannot find green pepper-

the sauce is meant to be a flambé.

2. Whisk together and add kosher salt and green corns, special black cracked pepper may be substituted.

3. Reduce mixture and add demi-glacé or brown mix, sliced scallions (green tops only) and heavy cream.

4. Bring to a boil and serve on the side or poured over the top. Serve with your choice of potato and vegetable.

A ROTH IRA CAN BE A POWERFUL RETIREMENT TOOL

FINANCIAL BUZZ

FIVE ROTH RULES 26

Cocoa Beach Lifestyle | March 2018

AS AN INVESTOR, THERE ARE ALWAYS CHOICES TO MAKE: PROS AND CONS TO WEIGH WITH YOUR ADVISER. Deciding on your retirement savings vehicles is no different. There are so many options, but a Roth IRA, if you qualify, can really help with your retirement savings if you follow the rules.

1. MAKE MONEY, BUT NOT TOO MUCH The IRS doesn’t allow individuals making more than $129,000 to contribute. Joint filers can earn up to $191,000 and still partially qualify. Keep in mind, though, that these are the maximums, and there are always exceptions. Be sure to consult your adviser and a tax professional before moving forward.

2. STAY WITHIN THE LINES If you qualify, you can sock away up to $5,500 if under 50; $6,500 if over 50. You have until tax day (no extensions) to do so for the prior year.

3. MAKE SMART WITHDRAWALS Roth IRA distributions are entirely tax-free—if you play by the rules.

They can be complex, with different provisions covering your initial contribution and your earnings, but a knowledgeable financial or tax professional can walk you through them. Although penalties apply to withdrawals made before age 59½ or within five years after you open your Roth, they can be avoided in certain circumstances (e.g., disability, first-time home purchases or higher education).

4. LENGTHEN YOUR ROTH'S LIFE Named beneficiaries can inherit your Roth IRA tax-free. Your heirs can gradually withdraw the money, while the rest continues to grow tax-free

throughout their lifetimes. That means choosing a younger beneficiary may

be a smart move, as it lengthens the amount of time the money can remain

in the inherited Roth.

FL 32953 // 321-452-0061

5. CONVERT Conversion means taxpayers at any income level can place tax-qualified assets (typically from a 401(k) or traditional IRA) into a Roth IRA. You’ll have to include the amount of previously deductible contributions to the converted

Houzz contributor Laura Gaskill suggests incorporating it as nursery decor, plant hangers, wall hangings and modern fiber arts. WICKER According to Houzz contributor Yanic Simard, “the best way to really embrace the luxury-cottage appeal of wicker and rattan is to combine different forms of the two in one space ...

PARTING THOUGHTS

CUSTOM ACCENT PIECES

BY KELLY’S KUSTOM KURTAINS THE 'IT' THING IN HOME DECOR BEAUTIFUL PILLOWS AS ACCENT PIECES ARE THE "IT" THING NOW IN HOME DECOR, AND JANICE KELLY OF KELLY'S KUSTOM KURTAINS IS THE PERSON TO SEE IF YOU WANT GORGEOUS CUSTOM PILLOWS MADE FOR YOUR HUMBLE ABODE. Kelly, who has been in business for more than 40 years in the Cocoa Beach area, creates designer pieces ranging from window treatments to bedding, and even offers upholstery services, making it easier to pull together a room with a decorator feel.

Her original pillow designs are crafted from designer fabrics and often feature rich embellishments, providing texture, depth and beauty to items frequently overlooked as nonessentials. But pillows aren't nonessentials when it comes to decorating and comfort. They're statement pieces that supply the crowning touch to complete any look you're trying to achieve. They can give a room that comfy cozy feeling or bestow a more polished impression.

Handcrafted fabrication has taken a backseat to mass-produced items, but it lends itself to the uniqueness many individuals not only seek but yearn for. If you're unwilling to settle for the same old, same old, custom design is the way to go. By combining a variety of colors and textures, Kelly carefully fabricates one-of-akind products with touches you seldom see anymore. And it's the details—from the stitching to placement to the quality of the finish materials used—that make them really stand out.
