LIFESTYLE LETTER

House Fever

March 2023 PUBLISHER

Emily Barlow | emily.barlow@citylifestyle.com EDITOR

There’s a reason our home issue is so popular. People love houses. There are entire TV networks dedicated to home remodeling, books written about how to decorate like a pro, and of course, there’s Johanna Gaines! We as a society can’t get enough. So, what do we do here at Loveland Lifestyle?

Well, we (happily) jump on the bandwagon and bring you an issue with the latest home design trends of 2023 (thank you, Bond Furniture for sharing your expertise) and a mid-century remodel that I am obsessed with (seriously, this Loveland couple did a fantastic job). So you can get excited, get inspired—maybe even move a little furniture, whatever it takes to get closer to your dream home.

March is also a time when warm weather is on the horizon, so we thought it was the perfect issue to feature an article on Pedego electric bikes. Pedal, don’t pedal, maybe pedal just a little—no matter what your comfort level is, these bikes are so fun. Plus, their new location is right on the bike trail, so it’s easy to try one out.

Speaking of “trying things out,” if you’ve ever thought about working with a personal trailer to get to your fitness goals, Trainers Spot is just the right spot to get the guidance and assistance you need to achieve those goals. Read We Have Liftoff to learn more.

At 56 pages, this issue has a lot of great content, so we won’t keep you any longer. You’ve got homes to redecorate and bikes to try and a lot of reading to do!

CINCINNATI’S PREMIER EXTERIOR REMODELER

“We have a really old deck.”

That’s the first thing people say when they contact us.

The second thing they say is, “I don’t know if it should be replaced, resurfaced or if the structure needs fixing. I’m not sure what it needs.”

And the final thing they ask, “Who’s going to give me an honest answer?”

We’re a family-owned and operated business that wants to help people get the best remodeling work possible – starting with an honest contractor who uses the best materials and knows how to ensure any warranties stick.

That’s why we’ve pioneered a set of standards called “The Contractor Standards Checklist.”

Before you hire a company to work on your home, check over this list. Whether you go with us or someone else, we want to make sure you’re educated. That’s why we also have a showroom where you can see the quality of materials and get all of your questions answered.

Color Me Fabulous Easy Changes to Chase Away the Winter Blahs

ARTICLE BY CARLY TAMBORSKI PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW J CAPPS BUSINESS IMAGE SERVICES

Cold winter months can sink our spirits into a funk, but making changes—even small ones—to our homes is an easy way to spice things up and go from winter drab to seriously sofa-bulous! The team of interior designers at Bond Furniture & Design are on the pulse of this year’s hot home fashions. Even better, they’re sharing five popular trends you’ll want to consider for your own.

THINK GREEN — SPECIFICALLY EMERALD.

“This is a very trendy color that’s still catching steam. It was very big in the 80s, and just like we’re seeing clothing trends from the 80s and 90s back in style this year, that emerald green is coming back as well.”

BRING NATURE INSIDE.

“Especially this year, people are just wanting more greenery—more indoor plants, more wall pockets. Most people don’t know how easy it is to create nature-growing walls or plant walls.”

18

T R E N D SE T T E R | HOM E + DE S I GN

LEAN INTO CORAL.

“Brighter coral colors play off blue and white well, and just give off that fresh feeling. People seem to really vibe on going with fresher colors—especially at the beginning of the year, when we tend to get tired of darker colors.”

TRY SPA BLUE.

“This is also a very popular color right now—that soft blue with an undertone of green. There’s a natural suggestion of relaxation being reflected in the trends we’re seeing—people are spending so much more time at home, and they want a relaxing environment to live in.”

GO BIG—LARGER MASTER BEDS.

“Master bedrooms in new construction homes are being built larger, so the size and scale of master bedroom beds are huge compared to what they were previously. We’re seeing beds that are 6-7 feet tall.

Canopies, fabric beds, and large headboards are in across the board.”

Remodel Behavior ONE LOVELAND FAMILY CREATES THEIR OWN DREAM HOUSE, TOP TO BOTTOM

22

O PE N H OU SE | HOM E + DE S I GN

Many people move to Loveland for the location. But the Rubergs were able to find a house in Loveland with an amazing location within a location—something not many can say.

Nestled on nearly 3.5 acres, what was once a dated, closed-off red brick ranch with four bedrooms, two baths across 2,000 square feet is now a completely renovated, stylish, six bedroom, four-and-a-half

bathroom, 4,400-square-foot open-concept ranch with white brick—remodeled completely from head to toe.

What’s something like that take? For Elisabeth and Andy Ruberg, all it took was a few rough napkin sketches over a meal at Paxton’s, the help of some renovation-savvy parents, and five months of steady work by Meyer Brothers & Sons.

Easy-peasy, right?

ARTICLE BY ELIZABETH A. LOWRY PHOTOGRAPHY BY NEXT DOOR PHOTOS

The longer we lived in the ranch, the more we fell in love with it ... it was incredibly well-built with tons of potential, so we changed course and decided to do a full remodel/rebuild!

THEY LITERALLY BOUGHT THE RANCH …

Elisabeth explains she and her husband bought the property with her parents, initially for its lot and location and with dreams of multigenerational living on the land. They fully intended to tear down the house within a couple years and rebuild.

“But the longer we lived in the ranch, the more we fell in love with it,” she says. “It was incredibly well-built with tons of potential, so we changed course and decided to do a full remodel/rebuild. Barely a square inch wasn’t touched by the time we finished!”

TO THE STUDS AND BACK AGAIN To create a compound worthy of housing two generations of family, plus reunions, parties and all a large group like theirs entailed, the Rubergs changed everything (while still honoring the ranch’s mid-century modern past, of course): • Removing all interior walls of the main living area and rebuilding with a tray ceiling for extra height.

• Relocating the kitchen and adding a large, stone gas fireplace in addition to the existing wood-burning one.

• Opening up the walls in the existing kitchen, dining and family rooms to create one large, open-concept main room.

24

O PE N H OU SE | HOM E + DE S I GN

• Moving the old staircase and opening it up to the basement to allow for an open flow to the newly finished basement.

• Adding an en-suite to an existing bedroom.

• Building two additions off the back—one for a new primary bedroom and bath, and one for a laundry/mudroom and a third garage stall. The additions connect via a large covered, screened-in porch accessible via two French doors off the living room.

• Finishing out the basement by adding a large living area, three additional bedrooms with full egress windows

• • •

•

and closets, and a full bathroom off one bedroom, creating a guest suite.

Repainting the existing brick and matching it to the new additions as well as new board-and-batten siding.

Installing an in-ground pool, deck and fencing.

Planting 150 trees of various local varieties for privacy and ambiance, a tree fort, and considerable improvements on the entire lot.

All-new mechanicals and roof.

Drooling over this house yet? You’re in luck—it could be yours.

The Rubergs are heartbroken to leave this gorgeously remade ranch behind, but they’re returning to mountain living, and their dream house is set to be listed this spring.

These Unique Bikes Go Here, There and Everywhere

G E T AC T IV E | SPORTS + RE CRE ATI ON

BOOGIE WOOGIE ...

IT’S ELECTRIC! ARTICLE BY NICOLE BROWNING PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW J CAPPS BUSINESS IMAGE SERVICES

Nestled just beneath Fleet Feet in the Fifty West complex on Wooster Pike, Pedego Electric Bikes has found itself a new and improved home. You couldn’t ask for a better space for a bike shop—only a few yards divide their front door from the Little Miami Scenic Trail and Fifty West Brewing Company, bringing bikers and beer drinkers alike into the beautiful new Pedego showroom.

As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted with the scent of new tires and dazzled by the array of colorful electric bikes—all set out to show off each and every make and model Pedego has to offer. From sporty black mountain bikes with fat tires to sleek city cruisers in bright coral, these bikes are bound to impress both the bike enthusiast and those who are just popping by.

So what’s the deal with electric bikes, you may ask? “We jokingly say they’re like pedal bikes, but better,” chuckles Ken Durham. Ken is the owner of Pedego Cincinnati East, and someone who makes an unforgettable impression when you meet him in the shop.

A man with many colorful stories and a lover of Mai Tais, Ken decided to enter the electric bike business after retiring from the insurance industry. After experiencing some health complications, a new path emerged. “I needed exercise during that particular period of my life, and I ran across a Pedego bike on vacation … I just enjoyed it so much I knew I was going to buy one,” Ken remembers. Of course, the idea picked up speed. “I thought, I’m retired, I’m still going to want to have something to do, so why not bring something like this to Cincinnati?”

Why not indeed. Pedego bikes offer exercise like you’ve never experienced before. With their pedal assist, pedaling an electric bike allows you to keep up a leisurely pace while traveling farther.

“The motor complements you, right?

You can turn them totally off, or ride without pedaling and simply let the motor do all the work,” Ken explains.

And with a make and model available for just about every type of terrain and every kind of ride you could possibly think of, there’s nothing you can’t do with a Pedego.

Curiosity piqued? We thought so. With these unique vehicles, there are sure to be some questions that pop into your mind (so we asked them for you).

Do you pedal an electric bike? To which Ken answers, “You don’t have to, but you definitely can!”

How about that battery? Is it rechargeable, and how often do you have to charge it? The Pedego batteries slip easily out of their bike frames, and are charged with 120V plugs, so you can charge them anywhere. One charge can last for multiple rides, all depending on how much you’re pedaling versus how hard the engine is working. It’s more likely that you’ll tire out before these batteries give up.

Who are these bikes made for? “They can be for anyone,” Ken postulates. “But the target market is someone above 60.

Someone who is alive and well, but may not be in as good of shape as they want.” The bikes also feature “step-through” design for easy-on, easy-off mounting—no need to heave a leg over to ride.

And, the question we know you’ve all been wondering about – how fast can they go? “The pedal assist has five different levels,” Ken explains. “One takes you about eight or nine miles per hour. Then for every pedal assist level, the speed goes up about 3 miles. So you can hit the top side at 20 miles per hour.”

To make the deal a little sweeter, each bike comes with a 5-year warranty. Plus, with more than 200 dealerships across the nation, you can take your bike to a Pedego wherever you are for any maintenance.

Whether you want to hit the trails or cruise through town, Pedego has something for everyone. Let’s ride!

LIFTOFF THIS NEW HOME FOR PERSONAL FITNESS TRAINING IS ALREADY PULLING ITS WEIGHT

ARTICLE BY PAMELA MCWHORTER PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW J CAPPS BUSINESS IMAGE SERVICES

H EA LT H Y LIF E ST Y LE | FI TNE S S

Kelly and her husband, Nathan

If you’re heading north on US-22, right at the turn onto the Old 3C Hwy, there’s a boxy building that sits a bit off by itself. In its former life, it might have been a garage—now, it’s become a home for transformation. Trainers Spot is where personal trainers and their clients can meet for one-on-one fitness instruction.

With its grand opening last October, Trainers Spot is the place owner Kelly Hater wished had been around when she first started out as a personal trainer nearly 15 years ago. Back then, she rented space at a local gym.

“I felt like I was in the way of all the members. There was nowhere to safely go and train your clients,” recalls Kelly, now perched at a high table in her Trainers Spot’s clean, modern lobby.

Trainers Spot is a 4,900+-square-foot private facility—featuring 3,000+ square feet of workout space with a full assortment of state-of-the-art workout equipment and weights on the first floor, benches and dumbbells on the second floor. Trainers Spot was designed to help personal trainers flex their business muscle—instead of investing in equipment, trainers can instead invest more time working with clients and building their business. In fact, trainers can bring in their clients just about any time.

“But maybe not at two o’clock in the morning,” Kelly jokes.

Trainers Spot isn’t just for hard-core weightlifters. Whether you’ve never picked up a dumbbell or you’re prepping for your next body-building competition, you can find a certified trainer who fits your fitness needs at Trainers Spot.

Kelly loves to talk about each trainers’ individual “strengths.”

One runs a weightlifting club out of Trainers Spot. Another offers a class just for women. Still other trainers focus on strength and mobility, nutrition and working with seniors and youth. The website features profiles of eight certified personal trainers, including Kelly and her husband, Nathan—who were both competitive body builders.

CAN’T I JUST G O T O Z U M B A? There’s nothing wrong with group classes, according to Kelly. The difference is in the level of personal attention you’ll get.

In a group fitness class, an instructor doesn’t focus on you as an individual—to see and know precisely what your body is capable of. Personal training takes in mobility, movement and recovery.

“Exercise is science, and every body is different,” Kelly explains. “So, people may say, ‘Oh, your knees shouldn’t go in front of your toes.’

Well, actually, that’s incorrect. It depends on if your ankles actually have the mobility to move that way—same thing with your knees.”

With a personal trainer, you and the trainer make the schedule. You’re not limited to only when a workout is offered, and you get that accountability from having a one-on-one session.

“If you miss a group fitness class, most likely no one will notice,” says Kelly.

M O V I E S TA R S H AV E P E R S O N A L TRAINERS, NOT ME. A personal trainer isn’t just for the rich and famous. On average, the cost of a one-hour session at Trainers Spot goes for about the same amount as the tab at a full-service restaurant— around $60. Plus, you don’t have to worry about adding on those extra calories—you’re burning them instead. Working with a personal trainer is more like an investment in the future you.

“Most people work out,” says Kelly. “But have you been seeing the results you want? What I always tell people is after working with a trainer for four weeks, you personally will notice results. After eight weeks, your family and really close friends will notice your results. After 12, the whole world will notice.”

O K AY. S I G N ME UP! If you’re interested in working with a personal trainer at Trainers Spot, Kelly has a few tips on how to get the most out of it.

1. Define your goals. If you don’t have a specific trainer in mind, Kelly can work with you to help determine goals and select a trainer who can help you reach them.

2. Ask about certifications. Your trainer’s certification indicates their level of understanding of science and body anatomy. At Trainers Spot, many of the trainers are certified through the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) or National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

3. Keep lines of communication open. Be transparent, ask questions. If you have any questions or concerns, raise them with your trainer.

4. Be on time. This is mostly for your safety, so a trainer isn’t left with having to rush you through the routine.

Financial Advantage

With the Right Local Advisor, Time Is on Your Side

“Financial planning is not a one-time project that you can complete, put on the shelf, and move on with your life,” says Vantage Financial co-owner and senior wealth advisor Andy Meyer. “It’s an ongoing puzzle—pieces can be added, changed, or removed.”

Thankfully, Vantage Financial enables their clients to manage that financial puzzle with confidence. What began as a family business more than three decades ago is now recognized as one of the fastest-growing Registered Investment Advisors in the Midwest.

Key to that growth has been a dedication to community support. “Community engagement isn’t just our responsibility,” Andy says. “It’s also one of our core values.”

To that end, Vantage Financial is honored to support Camp Joy, the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, Matthew 25: Ministries, the Kentucky Tornado Relief Fund, and Junior Achievement of Central Ohio. They also recognize high school athletes through their Vantage Student Athlete of the Month Scholarship program. Then in May, each Vantage office awards a $1,500 scholarship to one of those student athletes.

On court or off, Vantage Financial understands that living our fullest lives can leave little time for keeping up with the ins and outs of finances.

“We get it,” Andy says. “Work benefits, taxes, investments, planning—it all requires time and attention. That’s where we come in, with services that allow our clients to spend more time doing what makes life important.”

Know Your Blind Spots

Time Is an Asset

Hope is not a plan that increases your chances of success when looking to get your financial house in order. Financial resources are all around you—leverage that fact, and find a partner that’s a good fit for your specific needs.

We don’t know what we don’t know.

Even if life and finances seem to be going well, we can still be surprised by unfortunate events and how they impact us. Risk comes with two equally important sides—too much and too little. Mistakes can be made when focusing on one versus the other.

Vantage is committed to protecting your time and best interests by helping you navigate real-life questions and execute solutions through an ongoing, tailored advising relationship.

As a Registered Independent Advisor (RIA), Vantage Financial is founded on this same core principle and bound to the highest fiduciary standard to provide unbiased client-driven advice through a fee transparent, consistent comprehensive planning process. We’re not only investment advisors; we’re also fiduciary financial planners. We go beyond investment advice to advise on a number of topics that might be part of your family’s financial life. This includes retirement planning, estate planning, cash flow management, educational planning, tax strategies, insurance and risk management, business succession planning, and more.

5 Hot Trends

in Kitchen Design A peek at what’s ahead: bold cabinet colors, statement hardware and swaths of stone.

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh.

We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TA K I N G T H E C O U N T E R M AT E R I A L U P THE BACKSPLASH Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

WA R M I N G U P THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues.

Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while

46

D E C OR T R E N D S | HOM E + DE S I GN

others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES Gone are the days of it being a given to hide the fridge behind custom cabinets. Many brands of appliances are so beautiful and sleek these days, homeowners want to see them rather than hide them behind a cabinet facade. Small appliances, however, are another story. Custom cabinets and “appliance garages” aren’t going away anytime soon. Form and function make them a desirable addition to any kitchen.

BOLD H A R D WA R E Mixed metals and sizes are having a moment in kitchens across America. Brooke says not to shy away from a variety of sizes of pulls and handles, depending on the drawer and door size. For instance, you may see a mixture of longer pulls on larger drawers and square knobs on smaller glassware cabinets - and that’s more than just ok - that’s recommended. As the heart of the home, kitchens shouldn’t feel sterile and hyper-coordinated - they should feel inviting and tailored to the space. Since no two kitchens will be exactly alike, feel free to boldly mix the hardware sizes and styles to the needs of your kitchen.

C O N T R A S T, C O N T R A S T, CONTRAST!

Brooke’s Pro Tip: I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.

From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.

Talk About a Clean Sweep OSBOURNE PRO WASH GIVES NEW MEANING TO “WASH AND GO!”

ARTICLE BY J.M. GREEN PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED Kyle Osborne, owner of Osborne Pro Wash, announces his priority to any guest stepping into his Morrow home through photos hanging on the foyer wall.

“I’m a family guy,” Kyle says. “Two kids, and married ...” he hesitates, then smiles, “16 years this summer.”

An important extension to Kyle’s family is the families and schools representing his community.

“Having two kids and a wife who’s a teacher—that’s where my heart is,” Kyle says.

“Those are the type of people I’m with—families with young kids. I’m constantly running to and from sports and school events.”

Family and community are why Kyle donated time and supplies to clean the Loveland Middle School bleachers, and to prep the senior paw prints for new paint at the Little Miami High School stadium.

His philanthropy started during the pandemic’s early days.

“There was so much unknown,” Kyle says.

He found himself reflecting on how to help his community. “I wanted to provide.”

So Kyle decided to clean the Little Miami Schools’ playgrounds.

“My cleaners are actually disinfectants,” he explains. “I think the schools had to go around and spray all of the equipment periodically.

My goal was to give one good deep clean and disinfecting of the playground equipment, and then they could maintain it. Six months or a year later, I could do it again.”

Kyle shrugs with humility. “I just thought, if anything, it would help the kids play on the playground sooner.” And isn’t that what it’s all about?
