Get creative. Add wood tables

Consider an unusual statement piece for a coffee table. Or skip traditional coffee tables and choose an upholstered ottoman in a coordinating patterned fabric to pull a room together.

» 8. Go neutral. Choose neutral-colored pieces with clean lines for larger, more expensive items like sofas, and change out accessories or smaller items such as colorful accent chairs to freshen the look in the future.

Don’t delay on fabric choices.

Loveland Lifestyle | March 2019

MARIA BEVINGTON OPENS HER FRONT DOOR WITH A SUNNY SMILE. Immediately, she makes you feel welcome. Comfortable. At home, even though it’s not your own.

Her husband, Chad, joins you, adding to the warmth and ease. No surprise that the Bevingtons’ open kitchen—rather, their entire first floor—emits those same feelings of cozy reception. Sit down, the room seems to say. Stay awhile.

What is surprising is that it’s the result of a fairly major remodel. Walking in, you pass the dedicated dining room before the great room and kitchen unfold, an oversized area that’s at once both airy and intimate. There’s a brightly painted homework and craft room just off the kitchen. A mudroom with clever cubbies. Everything flows. It all makes sense. The lines and layout are so natural, it’s hard to believe it was ever anything different.

“We liked what the previous owners had done, but we knew it ultimately wouldn’t work for us,” Chad explains about their decision to remodel. “We wanted an open entertaining area and a really big island … in our family, that’s where everyone gathers.”

Their first call? John Hill Construction. Twenty years ago, the original owners worked with John Hueber Homes to build the house—John Hill had been the supervisor on the project. When John Hill went out on his own, the couple continued to use him for additions, adding both a front porch and sunroom. It was an easy choice for the Bevingtons.

“He already knew the house … this was his work,” Maria says of John Hill. “I don’t think we realized how many ARTICLE STEPHANIE MEINBERG PHOTOGRAPHY JUSTIN SHELDON PHOTOGRAPHY

changes we would actually make, and John was amazing.”

Purchasing the house in the spring of 2015, the Bevingtons immediately set wheels in motion to com-

plete any renovations before they moved in. At the beginning, the wish list seemed straightforward and simple: open concept, oversized island and dedicated space for their four kids (and dog). John’s architect took one look—and calmly blew up their entire plan.

“We thought we would renovate the existing kitchen, and maybe a little over there,” Chad points to where a separate office space and breakfast nook once resided.

“We didn’t realize we would push the whole kitchen over.

It was our architect’s idea to turn all three rooms into one.”

Picture this: the former refrigerator and windowed wall are now wide-open space between the Bevingtons’ table and great room. A wall of cabinets housing the sink has been changed into three sliding glass doors. The original island? Gone, replaced by the family table. Mechanicals were relocated. Walls torn down, flooring torn up. One cased opening closed in, the living room replaced entirely.

TURNING CLOSED-OFF QUARTERS INTO A WARM, WIDE-OPEN GATHERING SPACE

Windows, doors and doorways—moved and repurposed to other areas. With the one-time office and nook now serving as the heart of a breathtaking new kitchen.

While the kitchen’s custom-panel appliances induce deep, 22

Loveland Lifestyle | March 2019

With an eye roll, she laughs, “Now everyone who comes in here always tells me how much they love our island … Chad has really good design sense and vision. Everything he picked out was perfect.”

Indeed, it’s the focal point of the entire space, built to house hidden stools and complemented by the leather-finished countertops. With the kitchen’s abundance of natural light and oversized windows, the family spends much of its time there.

“I feel so grateful every day, so lucky … I still can’t believe we live here,” Maria says. “When I walk in, I sigh and think, I’m home. I want everyone to feel that … to be comfortable. I want to have the house that no one wants to leave.”

Well, Maria … mission accomplished.

THE RENOVATION It all began with their longtime realtor, Ellie Kowalchik. Between Maria and her siblings, Ellie had sold the families a collective six homes.

“We were thinking about moving again, so I called Ellie,” Maria says. “I told her if anything came up, keep us in mind … two months later, she called. The house wasn’t listed yet—she just knew it would be perfect for us.”

John Hill Construction coordinated the project from start to finish—his architect, Mary Cassinelli, created the multistep plan: remove walls to expand and relocate the kitchen; divide the living and dining (and reverse their positions) to create a separate kids’ space and formal dining.

Chad’s ideas: All outlets in the kitchen were hidden in the under-cabinet lighting. USB ports were installed in the craft room. The wood flooring—formerly a combination of wood, tile and stone—was made continuous and consistent.

Bonnie Albers took charge of design, helping Maria pick cabinet styles, paint, furniture and more, including all-new fixtures from Ferguson Lighting. TDM Custom Cabinetry was the go-to source for the new kitchen but also repurposed the existing cabinets into the kids’ room for added drawers, pullout shelves and storage space.

“It’s all the little touches … I feel like they thought of everything.”

Recently, Mark and Jennifer had coffee at Loveland Sweets with Mark’s parents, Bill and Donna, to talk about upcoming vacations and some major decisions they had all made regarding their homes – both couples had recently spoken with their financial advisors at Family Wealth Advisory Group. · Bill and Donna decided to downsize their house to something more conducive to their lifestyle. The move would reduce their cost of home ownership, allowing them to travel more. · Mark and Jennifer plan to stay in their house for another 15 years. They developed a plan to determine whether and when refinancing the mortgage would be a smart decision given that rates have gone up since they bought.

With the help of their advisors, both families evaluated their homes and how each fits their lifestyle – as well as its impact on their long-term finances. Whatever your life stage, upsizing or downsizing, Family Wealth Advisory Group will help you achieve your goals. Contact us to see what we can do for you.

MARGIE BOVE’S ANTIQUE EMPORIUM A THOUSAND TIMES OVER THE LAST 35 YEARS. I know I have! Imagine my delight when I finally ventured inside a few weeks ago, discovering not only the picture-perfect Corner Coffee Café but also a delightfully curated collection of antiques, priced to sell.

“My husband’s family was always into antiques. His mother would find beautiful things at the Salvation Army, and her house was always full. When I started dating my husband, he already had the antiquing in

him, from his mother. So we started going out and looking together,” Margie explains.

She then started buying and selling out of her home with her sister-in-law, refinishing when necessary, teaching herself the trade, little by little. These days, Margie is a trove

of inspiration for the design-obsessed. Two steps into the shop, one can’t help but notice her talent for assembling vignettes, arranging all of her wares into little room-like areas.

“I started doing it because people would come in and tell me, for example, that they were decorating their mantle and they didn’t know what to do. I started putting the vignettes together—mixing different greens together or woods. I’ve actually had women come in and buy the entire setup.”

On the off chance you can’t afford to buy the entire setup, you can hone your own sense of style, something Margie herself has in spades.

“I always tell people to look at magazines.

Every time you see a room that you really like,

tear it out. After a while, you’ll see patterns in the pages you’re tearing out. Don’t look at just one magazine, either. Look at traditional, country, cottage … a little bit of everything.

It’s important to visit different kinds of shops as well. Go to antique malls. Something will jump out at you. Buy that first piece and then start adding to it,” Margie advises.

Mixing old and new doesn’t just add warmth to a home, it shows much of the

“If you buy wisely, you can resell it later if your tastes change or if you grow your family.

If you buy store-bought things, you’ll just end up giving them away. To me, that’s a waste of money. I would rather invest in a piece that I can afford and know that down the road, I could get my money back, basically using it for free,” Margie says.

Some of the best investment pieces at the Antique Peddlers are vintage cast-iron lamps that Margie revamps and rewires herself. She also breathes new life into colorful pottery lamps.

“I love the colors—greens, burgundies, whites—they’re just beautiful. If you can’t afford a lot in your room, start with colorful items like these that jump out at you.”

In addition to the lamps, Margie is known for having a wide selection of cupboards from a variety of periods.

“You don’t really see many of the big cupboards. They’re just not that common, even in the (antique) malls. I like to take one big piece and put it in a room and decorate around it.”

And while the in-house Corner Coffee Café was originally started by Margie to drive business into her shop, it is now owned and operated by Joni Lawson and her husband, Rick. They offer an extensive array of coffee drinks, scrumptious baked goods and seasonal salads, soups and sandwiches to fuel your shopping adventure.

“We complement each other. When I opened the café, I saw my antique business really pick up. Then as the café grew, the antique business did as well, and I couldn’t do both. I would say that 50 percent of my sales comes from non-antique people because they are having lunch ... and then they run through the shop, find something they love and buy it.”

in the biz. Her showroom, Window Accents, is a design hub packed with possibilities. The latest trends and textiles? Safety standards, specialized solutions? Kim is master of it all, not only as a custom designer but also as fabricator and installer—hands-on knowledge that’s tough to top.

“Installation experience is something most designers don’t have.

I designed draperies, made them, installed them. I understand hardware because I’ve hung it myself.”

Kim has an uncanny eye for knowing what not only works best but looks best.

“I hear all the time, ‘you made that really easy!’ It can be an overwhelming process. I help people make decisions they feel good about.

That’s why they call me.”

discovery #2: prep Start with a budget, then share it. Kim promises to never let you fall in love with something outside your range. Next, think about function—do treatments need to be decorative or practical? Most of all, don’t get overwhelmed— pick rooms that are critical, and focus on those first. The rest can wait till time and funds allow.
