Home Is Where the Heart Is

Tonia Johnston, Colleen Katz Pictures in Pixels, Aly Kirk Photo

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.

CORPORATE TEAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CHIEF SALES OFFICER CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER DIRECTOR OF MARKETING ART DIRECTOR OPERATIONS DIRECTOR EDITORIAL MANAGER EDITORIAL AD MANAGER AD COORDINATORS

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 North Scottsdale 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.

“We think people are tired of bar food and noisy restaurants. You can come in here and have a Peruvian ceviche with a Russian pelmeni and have great conversations," Larry says. "Every few months we take a few things off and add a few new things."

He teases he named his daughters Glutenfree, Vegan and Vegetarian. Thanks to his dining experience with his girls, he made it a point to provide a variety of options for everyone.

“Going out to eat with them was a nightmare,” he says.

The restaurant is beautifully furnished and newly remodeled. It first opened in Carefree in 2015 but moved to a larger location in North Scottsdale last year.

Their signature dessert is the Tahitian pearl, a treat they discovered while honeymooning in Bora Bora nearly two years ago.

BUILDING A FURNITURE LEGACY in Scottsdale BUFFALO FURNITURE IS AS UNIQUE AS ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS CONTINUED >

March 2018 | North Scottsdale Lifestyle

FURNITURE LEGACY

(CON TI N U ED)

WHAT STARTED ON A RANCH 25 YEARS AGO HAS TURNED INTO A THRIVING FURNITURE BUSINESS AS DISTINCTIVE AS ITS BACKSTORY. Buffalo Collection is a custom home furnishings boutique in Scottsdale that is immediately notable upon entering. The pieces are lush and rich in color. Each piece exudes quality craftsmanship, and that’s not so surprising.

As owner Michael Levenberg explains, “Bison hides are inherently stronger than cattle hides, with a high percentage of collagen, so they are incredibly supple and soft.”

It was a passion for providing upscale furniture that led Michael and his wife, Laura, to open Buffalo Collection seven years ago, and they guarantee furniture that will maintain its beauty.

“The story of our hides starts with a botanist who bought a ranch to restore the land. She purchased bison to do so, and when she thinned her herd, the hides would often be disposed of," Michael says. "A local furniture builder asked to use the hides, and soon others did as well, including us. We launched our business here in Scottsdale, where we feel the clientele appreciate the value of our furniture."

The Levenbergs recognized a trend when it came to customers wanting noncommercial furniture pieces.

The hides at Buffalo Collection are drum dyed with no topical coloration. They will not crack or peel, and no waxes or chemicals are used. All whole-grain hides have some imperfections which Michael says adds to their character and these shouldn't be artificially removed. In their frequent U.S. travels, they partner with and befriend artists and businesses who use renewable hardwoods, all-natural materials and stains.

“We can tell customers the entire backstory of everyone working on their pieces," he says. "They love to hear how we began as well. This makes it interesting to them and makes it special for us. After all, we don’t sell, we design.”

The Levenbergs love that they have built this furniture legacy in Scottsdale. A shared interest in the origins of this thriving business between them and their customers is the intangible perk they have come to appreciate.

ARTIST’S PALETTE

Newt Glass SELF-TAUGHT ARTIST CREATES GLASS MASTERPIECES ARTICLE STACI HAUK | PHOTOGRAPHY ALY KIRK PHOTO AND PROVIDED

NEWT GROVER OF NEWT GLASS HAS LARGESCALE BLOWN GLASS MASTERPIECES DISPLAYED ALL OVER TOWN AND THE COUNTRY. They are best described as vibrant, contemporary, original and intricate. Inspired by exhibits of Dale Chihuly's work, Newt decided late into his career of making neon signs and jewelry to switch gears and teach himself the art of blown glass.

“I was 40, and I am completely self-taught. I have always been artistic, but seeing Chihuly is what led me to this newfound passion, and it has been a wonderful 20-year ride,” Newt says.

Newt was born and raised in Scottsdale and often uses his surroundings to create stunning pieces— from sculptures to chandeliers to wall displays—as well as pulling from a client’s imagination.

“My niche is working with designers or clients to create pieces that will fit into their environment and produce a particular feel. I’m conscious of creating a mood," he says. "I am often involved in the home construction process with a client and have visions along the way as to what will work in the space.”

Newt Glass Gallery is housed in the Scottsdale Airpark, and Newt has fashioned many one-of-akind pieces that would breathe new life into any area of a home.

Julie Fiedler's Hometown Recipe LOCAL PERSONAL CHEF SERVICE IS RIPE WITH IDEAS FOR ANY IN-HOME DINING OCCASION

North Scottsdale Lifestyle | March 2018

THE SCOTTSDALE CULINARY MARKET IS BLOOMING WITH FRESH CONCEPTS, AND PERHAPS NONE ARE MORE UNIQUE AND CUSTOM THEN RIPE PERSONAL CHEF SERVICES. If you are looking to eat healthier, host a dinner party or are looking for private dining, then RIPE is a concept that will fit beautifully into your lifestyle.

“I love my job because every client, every day, is completely different," chef Julie Fiedler says. "We do all our cooking in the client’s home and cater to a variety of dietary restrictions and preferred cuisines; it keeps it fun and interesting.”

Fiedler joined RIPE after studying at Photo provided

Being a native of the area, she has a fine dining background in the Scottsdale community and feels being a personal chef is

“I personally love feta cheese empanadas because I grew up in Phoenix but my family is originally from Greece, so I feel like it’s a fusion of Greek and Southwestern cuisine," she says. "It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser at dinner parties and is a Southwestern favorite. The cream cheese gives the dough a smooth texture and is healthier than using lard."

her dream career path.

“The diverse menus I get to create are challenging," she says. "We also provide a weekly in-home service where we cook and package food for clients and they can grab healthy meals each day.”

Small-scale dinner parties for locals and out-of-towners alike mixed with private chef services for high profile clients–where RIPE cooks meals on-site daily—blend to become a lasting recipe for success.

“Our owner, Stephanie, started RIPE nine years ago. There are now six of us on the team with multiple clients we cook for," Fiedler says. "For someone with a former career in the demanding industry of resort dining, branching out into the personal chef business has been a wonderful move for her."

Glancing at the eye-popping color and texture of each of Fiedler’s dishes is truly mouthwatering. However, one dish sets her apart and has special meaning when she envisioned sharing her craft.

For dessert empanadas, Fiedler adds that you can try using bananas and Nutella for the filling, then toss in cinnamon and sugar while they’re warm.

SHELFIE READY ART TO BEAUTIFY YOUR SPACE ON THE EDGE GALLERY OFFER UNIQUE AND CUSTOM PIECES TO GIVE YOUR SHELVES NEW LIFE

Wonky Woven Gourd Baskets

Color My World

by Cal Vander Kooi

IS YOUR SHELF SPACE READY FOR ITS CLOSE-UP? When it comes to your home, you want to maximize your shelf space with color, texture, creativity. You often seek one-of-a-kind pieces that will act as a conversation starter. Scottsdale has an eclectic array of local artists that showcase diverse mediums to bring your shelving space into focus.

On the Edge Gallery is an artist cooperative gallery nestled on Fifth Avenue in Old Town Scottsdale. What started in Fountain Hills has grown into two locations that thrive on the community interest they’ve generated for six years.

With people redirecting their home décor to reflect personality, warmth and their own interests, rather than gravitating toward mass-produced goods, these local artists offer custom looks with a tangible backstory.
