There's No Place Like Home

Home. So much contained in that little four-letter word. Home is our grounding. Our base. Our launchpad. It’s where we start and end each day. And while the particulars look different for each of us, the meaning and value it holds for all of us is undeniable.

Whether you are building, remodeling, or planning a DIY project for your home, Spring is the best time to get this going. We've included some home and design inspiration and local businesses that can help you. We feel lucky to learn more about the businesses and individuals behind them and hope the small lens into their work helps inspire your home and design dreams.

Speaking of lucky, we've also shared some ideas for St. Patrick's Day and introducing color into your life - whether that be in your home or your beer (it is green beer time, after all). Folsom is full of life and color and with a little luck, we hope this issue helps you feel connected to the people around you - in your city, neighborhood, and most of all - your home.

Thanks for letting Folsom City Lifestyle into your home each month.

Happy March!

MODERNIZING A TUSCAN STYLE HOME, WHILE MAINTAINING ITS EUROPEAN CHARM

Astoria Place is one of Design Shop Interiors’ most recently completed projects.  Astoria Place was originally a Tuscan-inspired builder-grade home that DSI renovated using a mixture of contemporary and timeless elements with a nod to European details.  The furniture and decor are centered on relaxed sophistication, continuing the interior juxtaposition of traditional and modern with the furniture silhouette and material selections.

Lead Designer, Angie Edwards and DSI team completed renovation plans for this home in late 2018. "We were out to bid with builders when the onset of Covid paused the project. After a year, our clients, like many people during this time, took inventory of how they wanted to use their home, so we went back to the drawing board and started the design process all over again".

CONTINUED >

The homeowner's aesthetic leans more modern and streamlined than the architecture of this home could support, so they agreed to focus on a timeless and collected design while giving a place of prominence to modern art and unexpected details selected by the art-loving clients.

Special attention was paid to the lighting fixtures throughout the home which made a major impact, as did the brass plumbing fixtures throughout the kitchen and bathrooms.  Custom cabinetry, limestone flooring, and textural materials throughout the house tied in the decor with the new architectural elements.

The furnishings approach focused on layering earthy undertones and soft textures with accents of raw materials and natural finishes to complement the architectural finishes and European subtleties throughout.  "Our styling intention was to create harmony with and focus on the client’s love of art to hone a personal and collected space."

Edwards was grateful to work with the entire team at Design Shop Interiors and The Shop for the intentional collaboration it took to make this project a reality.  A favorite DSI hashtag is #teamworkmakesthedreamwork, and it’s as apparent as ever at Astoria Place. You can scroll the entire project and learn more about DSI and The Shop at DesignShopInteriors.com

The team spent about four years perfecting the design and completion of this project; weeks styling it; and multiple days photographing the five beds, seven bathrooms, and nearly 10,000 square feet designed.

PEACH FUZZ: PANTONE COLOR #13-1023

I always look forward to seeing what Pantone's Color of the Year will be. It's fun to see how it becomes used in fashion, interior design, and marketing. I'm smitten with this year's color. It's a soft contrast to 2023's Viva Magenta. A color between pink and orange, Peach Fuzz is light and delicate and brings a sense of calm, compassion, and kindness.

ADUs

EXPANDING HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES

ARTICLE BY MICHAEL J MOSER

The newest rage in real estate are ADUs. ADUs, or Additional Dwelling Units,  can legally be built on any property that has enough space to fit one or two additional living spaces. ADUs come in various configurations from converted garages, to space inside your existing home, to a stand-alone structure including a kitchen, bath, and sleeping area.

Due to new laws, Homeowners Associations can not rightfully prevent you from constructing an Additional Dwelling Unit on your property even if the CC&Rs prohibit

such activities. California has a severe housing shortage with Sacramento currently on the list needing almost seventy thousand housing units to fill the void. The California Legislature passed this legislation with the hope of a stop-gap measure to quickly bring housing stock to the market as soon as possible. There’s no better time than now to consider this option for your home.

Cities have been directed by the legislation to fast-track ADU projects for expedited approvals, this will allow for construction to get underway quickly. The typical ADU takes about 80 days to

construct from the issuance of permits to the final certificate of occupancy.

If you are interested in increasing your property value, getting rental income, or providing extra housing for parents, in-laws, or caretakers, building an ADU on your property may provide you an avenue to achieve those goals.

Michael Moser Development, Inc. are experts in Additional Dwelling Units (ADUs) and remodels. From planning to completed projects, they help residents and homeowners find the right solutions for their ADU and remodel housing needs. MoserDev.com

GARDEN TO GLASS

DIY COCKTAILS WITH FRESH HERBS

Nothing says spring like the aroma of fresh-cut herbs in a crisp, cold, cocktail. With warmer weather finally here, growing herbs at home can transform your cocktail hour and add a fresh kick to your springtime favorites.

Growing herbs is incredibly easy and can be done in a variety of ways—from a container in a window, to a planter box in the yard. With a container or garden full of fresh herbs, you will be ready to take your cocktails up a notch.

Basil is a bright herb that is easy to grow and perfect for cocktails. Make sure to harvest immediately before mixing drinks and take leaves from the top to ensure a continual harvest. Fresh muddled basil leaves lend a crispness to the Gin Basil Cucumber cocktail.

Sage is easy to grow and does well in containers. The leaves add an earthy freshness to a refreshing cherry-infused Bourbon.

Mint is also easy to grow, but give it lots of room, as it likes to spread out and is virtually indestructible in the garden. Mint is a versatile herb but is especially lovely in the Rhubarb Mint Mojito.

Try recreating these refreshing cocktails with herbs grown at home and take your cocktail game to new heights!

TRANSFORM YOUR LIVING SPACE INTO A

ZONE BLUE

What’s the secret to a happy, healthy, and long life? Believe it or not, it’s actually quite simple: There are no secret ingredients, no sizable expenditures, and absolutely zero manufactured elements of any kind. Dive in with us as we share insights from our interview with the internationally renowned Blue Zones Founder, National Geographic Explorer, and award-winning journalist who is revolutionizing the way Americans make choices that can lead to living your best life.

For over twenty years, Dan Buettner has been fully committed to studying the health and longevity of Americans as well as influencing the proper and attainable health-centric environments our communities should embody. What started with identifying five “blue zones” around the world where people are both living longer as well as enjoying a higher quality of life in their elder years has now also evolved into proactively creating eco-systems where our communities engage in setting the standard for clean health.

Buettner’s first cookbook, The Blue Zones Kitchen, is a fantastic resource featuring ingredients and cooking methods that can increase longevity, wellness, and mental health. The recipes also include lifestyle tips such as proper portion sizes and the best times to eat dinner. Plus, check out his additional seven books that dig deep into the exact foods you should eat to how your circle of friends and family can influence your quality of life.

Every time you go out to eat, you will consume an extra 300 calories that are laden with more sodium, sugar, and oil than eating at home. “Get your hands on a plant-based cookbook, pick a dozen recipes, and cook those with your family on Sundays. If you make the effort to cook it with your family, you will gain the skills and learn to make some good and whole food plant-based recipes.”

New York Times Best Selling Author and Netflix Producer, Dan Buettner, Inspires a Better Life Based on Research from the World’s Healthiest Cultures.

Tap into Dan’s wisdom that is creating a new category of places that are not merely the legacy of a healthy culture, but more consciously created by enlightened individuals that are intent on supercharging healthier communities!
