Welcome to Our Home & Design Issue!
Greetings, friends!
This month in OKC City Lifestyle, we celebrate "Home & Design"—and oh boy, do we have a lot of informative and interesting content for you!
On page 14, you'll read about a new home in Edmond's Montmartre housing addition that represents a brilliant collaboration between Brent Gibson of Brent Gibson of Brent Gibson Classic Home Design and Chris Kregger with Infinity Custom Homes. The home, featuring Spanish elements inspired by Chris's recent trip to that country, won first place overall in the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association's 2024 Parade of Homes, as well as other honors including Best Floor Plan and Best Design.
An upscale new community is rising out of the Oklahoma prairie. Located just south of Nichols Hills, 6100 Grand is reminiscent of certain Upper East Side New York or Parisian neighborhoods. The elegant townhomes were designed by Rick Brown, principal of Richard R. Brown Associates, with exteriors featuring gorgeous white stone facings, large arched windows, and richly detailed, exquisite columns and balustrades manufactured by Renaissance Cast Stone. You have to see it to believe it. See page 28. A quick peek at other content:

6 WAYS TO ELEVATE Your Space
How to Add Beauty and Interest That’s Timeless
ARTICLE BY HALEY TAHSUDA PHOTOGRAPHY BY CARLY C PHOTOGRAPHY
Raised in the furniture industry, Katelynn Henry--owner of Henry Home Interiors--curates her 10,000-square-foot showroom with timeless, trend-enduring pieces that are visually striking and modern, blending classic design with captivating, lively details.
At Henry Home Interiors HenryInteriors.com, the secret to creating lasting design lies in the thoughtful blend of timeless textures, eye-catching accents and high-quality pieces that resonate style and function. Curated by Katelynn Henry, the showroom offers a range of design elements that bring together luxury and comfort with enduring appeal.
Upgraded lighting plays a pivotal role in elevating any room’s atmosphere, illuminating the space while highlighting key features like elegant furniture and fine textures. Whether it’s a striking chandelier or subtle sconces, lighting at Henry Home Interiors provides both beauty and purpose. Complementing this is the use of burl wood, a natural material prized for its intricate patterns and warm tones. Burl wood pieces add a sense of sophistication and timelessness, instantly taking the design up another notch.
Equally enticing is the use of shagreen textures, which add a modern, luxurious touch that surpasses trends. This unique texture offers an understated elegance, perfect for creating both contrast and harmony when paired with other materials like burl wood.
Unique accents—whether whimsical brass figures like our signature monkey champagne bucket or sculptural bowls—further personalize the space. Quality rugs are another essential, grounding each room with rich texture and color. Additionally, local art is a must to weave into every design, creating a deeper connection to the community and a fabulous talking point with guests. By combining these elevated elements, Henry Home Interiors creates spaces that are not only visually striking but designed to stand the test of time. The result is a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply personal, a true reflection of everlasting style.

Creating luxury that is both functional and practical could be described as Chris Kregger and Brent Gibson’s area of expertise. The pair have collaborated to create unforgettable, award-winning custom homes for more than a decade.
This past year, they brought their creative forces together to create a unique home in Edmond’s Montmartre housing addition that was a standout at the Central Oklahoma Home Builders Association’s 2024 Fall Parade of Homes.
Chris is one of the owners of Infinity Custom Homes, and Brent has designed custom homes for over 35 years through his company, Brent Gibson Classic Home Design. When they decided to create the home in Montmartre, they drew inspiration from Chris’s recent trip to Spain.
“We like to start from the ground up and come up with a plan that we know will be a showstopper,” Chris explains. “We especially like to bring in influences from different cultures. I brought back inspiration and pictures from Spain to incorporate into this design.”
The team aimed to incorporate elements that are not often found in the local housing market. Their creative process allows them to explore ways to incorporate new ideas into lavishly designed spaces.
“Sometimes, my ideas may feel a little off the wall, but Brent has a way to turn them into something beautiful and timeless,” he continues. “I’ll come in with several plans that we have looked at in the
past, and Brent pulls from those and then draws a new plan by hand. His skills bring a very unique element to our planning process.”
They collaborated with designer Jeana Glazier to pick out just the right finishes and fixtures to bring the space to life. The interior of the home features a striking fireplace with a Venetian plaster finish, tile imported from Spain, brass elements and stained woodwork that reflects the influence of Spanish history.
“I always look forward to designing a new home with new and innovative designs and concepts, knowing that it will be a Parade home, which will be a delight for many to see,” Brent explains. “I like to keep classic traditional architecture in the overall design of the home, but also like to add fresh, modern touches that today’s home buyers are looking for.”

HOW EACH SPACE
“INVESTING TIME INTO THINKING ABOUT
HOMEOWNER IS CRUCIAL.”
WILL BE USED BY THE FUTURE
For the home in Montmartre, the home’s luxury was designed with practicality in mind. The kitchen island features an unusual and eye-catching countertop that Chris personally designed on-site. The three-quarter waterfall countertop includes quartzite, a custom brass inlay and white oak This one-of-a-kind element brings in features from other parts of the home to add beauty and cohesiveness.
“The fireplace is also one of my favorite things about the home. It is 24 feet tall and 10 feet wide, and it is very gorgeous and dramatic,” Chris adds. “I also love the vent hood above the range in the kitchen, which also has the Venetian plaster finish and a gorgeous, unique curvature. Every choice we made was to combine luxury and functionality.”
The home won first place overall in the 2024 Parade of Homes, as well as other honors including Best Floor Plan and Best Design. Chris says this recognition directly reflects both the beauty of the design and the extra touches intended to make the home functional and useful.
“Chris and Jeana did a superb job in the building of this home. It truly is a collaborative effort on behalf of our whole team,” Brent says.
Homeowner Jennifer McCollum feels that she and her husband could not have found a better house anywhere in the metro.
“We loved the floorplan immediately,” Jennifer says. “My husband loves the wet room in the master bathroom. I walk through our home each day and think one thing is my favorite. Then I turn around and find something else I love just as much. It is such a beautiful home and so easy to live in. Chris paid attention to every aspect, and I’ve never lived anywhere with such amazing details.”
Chris explains that the quality of the design and the attention to detail that Infinity puts into their homes allow home buyers to begin enjoying their space right away.
“We are proud of the amount of attention that goes into planning a home that is luxurious and also a joy to live in,” Chris concludes. “We take the time to ensure that home not only looks
great, but is also practical. Investing time into thinking about how each space will be used by the future homeowner is crucial. Our team can ensure that you end up with a great space that functions as beautifully as it looks.”

THE cowboy BOOT
EXHIBITION SHINES LIGHT ON ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC
SYMBOLS OF THE AMERICAN WEST
ARTICLE BY JERRI CULPEPPER
PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY NATIONAL COWBOY & WESTERN HERITAGE MUSEUM
The cowboy boot.
This quintessential form of footwear has been featured in history books, films and television shows depicting (sometimes loosely) America’s Old West. Alternatively, they have also been featured prominently on the fashion scene, worldwide as well as here in the U.S.
Whether you’re a rancher or farmer who wears “working” boots for everyday work and fancier footwear for a night on the town, a boot fancier who loves wearing them to add a western flair to their wardrobe, or an armchair historian with interests in cowboys and all things related, you’ll want to catch Cowboy Boots: From Roundups to Runways, running Feb. 7 through May 4 at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum.
Presented by Lucchese Bookmaker, a leader in the art of bootmaking, the exhibition takes visitors on a journey through the history, craftsmanship and cultural impact of one of the most iconic symbols of the American West.
During its heyday as an essential part of a working cowboy’s toolkit on cattle trails, to its rise to mainstream prominence in the early 20th century (including the rodeo scene) and its reemergence in pop culture as a fashion status symbol in the 21st century, the cowboy boot’s story is intertwined with both American history and contemporary culture.
Visitors will discover how the basic form of the cowboy boot—from the toe box to the pull straps, from the ornate to the understated—has endured, remaining virtually unchanged for over 160 years. From the heel to the toe bug, guests will discover the function and craftsmanship behind each component and learn how each detail serves both practical and aesthetic purposes.
“[THE
EXHIBIT] INCLUDES BOOTS WORN BY WESTERN HEROES OF YESTERYEAR, LIKE GENE AUTRY, ROY ROGERS, JOHNNY CASH AND ANDRE THE GIANT,
TO MODERN-DAY ICONS
Through a combination of artifacts, artworks, larger-than-life color graphics, video and audio presentations, guests will get a firsthand look at how cowboy boots are made and learn about the master craftsmen who transform them into works of art, as well as hardy footwear designed to protect the wearer from rattlesnakes, thorny bushes and other hazards.
Visitors can examine custom-made boots, including those worn by famous individuals; compare their own footwear to famous boot prints; and even design their own cowboy boot on a touchscreen.
“This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to examine the lasting legacy of the cowboy boot, which has played such a pivotal role in the landscape of the American West,” said David Davis, chief curatorial officer at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. “The exhibition highlights some of the most extraordinary cowboy boots ever created, offering a one-of-a-kind look at this cultural icon.
“The exhibition also will showcase boots that run the gamut of the pop culture spectrum,” the chief curatorial officer added. “These include boots worn by Western heroes of yesteryear, like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Johnny Cash and Andre the Giant, to modern-day icons like the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and a

special collaboration between Lucchese Bootmaker and Chris Stapleton.”
The museum has planned two brown bag lunch and learn events in conjunction with the exhibit: Oklahoma cowboy bootmaker Lisa Sorrell will present The Art of Bootmaking from noon-1 p.m. March 6, and bootmaker Ray Dorwart will present Evolution of the Cowboy Boot from noon-1 p.m. March 13.

MEL & LESTARI’S INSIDER SCOOP TO THE CITY
ARTICLE BY MEL DRAKE AND LESTARI KUSUMAWARDANI
PHOTOGRAPHY BY HARLEA
ROBINSON
There’s something magical about a restaurant where the decor is just as unforgettable as the food—and JK by Chef King takes that to a whole new level.
This month, Lestari and I ditched the usual spots for something truly extraordinary. Under the enchanting branches of their famous wisteria tree and surrounded by jewel-toned elegance, we indulged in a night of culinary and artistic bliss.
Bonus? This month we shared the evening dining with the mysterious and oh-so-charming “J” in JK, Josh Balan.
Josh and Chef King Dey are the dream team behind this whimsical wonderland. They first crossed paths in London’s world of fine dining, and their shared passion for creating something unforgettable eventually led them stateside. After years of collaboration, the idea for JK began to blossom—Dallas was an initial contender for this innovative concept, but OKC won their hearts. And wow, are we glad it did!
The restaurant itself is a visual masterpiece. A canopy of wisteria blossoms fills the ceiling, while Norwegian globe lights and plush furniture in vivid hues create an atmosphere that begs to be Instagrammed (you’re welcome, by the way). Even the bathrooms call for photographic attention, with Versace-inspired wallpaper and glamorous design touches. Josh told us that every detail—from the fabrics to the fixtures—was carefully chosen, inspired by his travels and life experiences.
But JK isn’t just about looks—the flavors are every bit as magical as the space. We dove headfirst into the menu, curated by Chef King, savoring every bite as Josh filled us in on the stories behind the food and decor. Here’s what made our tastebuds dance:
COCKTAILS
Isaiah 3 Pointer–Flaming cocktails served on a pedestal, topped with an edible butterfly. Yes, it’s as exotic as it sounds—and we loved it.
Love Birds–Flirty delight, with a bubble finish
Deluxe Espresso Martini–Smooth vodka mixed with Illy espresso and vanilla syrup. Perfect for coffee lovers
Hibiscus Royal–Lightly floral and totally refreshing
STARTERS
Canadian Blue Lobster Tempura–This was SO GOOD!!! Crispy tempura with wasabi aioli and truffle ponzu
Double Roasted Pork Belly–Crispy and tender, served with spicy ponzu
Foie Gras Crispy Rice –Decadent foie gras balanced perfectly on crispy rice cakes
Lobster & Shrimp Shumai–Juicy dim sum perfection
Chicken & Truffle Dumplings–Truffle soy makes these dumplings sing.
MAINS
10-oz Supreme Rib Eye (Mel’s go-to) –Tender, juicy, and paired with shiso chimichurri
New Zealand Lamb Chops (Lestari’s pick) –Grilled to perfection, served with Korean BBQ and kimchi
JK By Chef King's Signature Burger–Wagyu beef, edible gold gilded, Swiss cheese, and truffle mayo. A showstopper.
SIDES
Brussels Sprouts–Fried and tossed in soy chili sauce
Truffle Fries–Crispy goodness coated in parmesan perfection
SWEETS
JK Fruit Basket–Exotic fruits, luscious house-made treats, and hibiscus smoke. A theatrical, delicious finale.
Dining with Josh made the night even more memorable. He’s brimming with stories—from scouting locations on a Segway (true story!) to how he and Chef King added personal touches to every single element. By the end of the evening, not only had we tasted some of the best food in the city, but we also left feeling like old friends with Josh.
UNTIL NEXT MONTH!
OKC fam, we love celebrating everything that makes this city amazing, and JK by Chef King has us swooning. From the decor to the food to the incredible people behind it, this spot belongs on your bucket list. Grab your friends, treat someone special, or go solo and soak it all in. Tag us when you visit—we can’t wait to see your vibe pics under the wisteria tree! Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram at @ThisIsMelDrake and @le.star for more insider vibes.
Cheers and love always, Mel & Lestari
6100 GRAND: SETTING A NEW STANDARD FOR UPSCALE LIVING
New Upscale Community Monumental and Intimate
ARTICLE BY JERRI CULPEPPER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DUSTIN GWIN, VISUAL TRAIL MEDIA
“The project is an amazing synthesis of French design and modern detail.”
If you’ve driven down Grand just south of Nichols Hills recently, you may have seen a sight so unexpected you thought it was a mirage.
Ten townhomes—with six more in the works during the third phase of the project—comprise a new, upscale housing development designed by renowned Oklahoma City architect Rick Brown, principal of Richard R. Brown Associates.
Arising from the Oklahoma prairie, this new community, called 6100 Grand (6100grand.com), looks like nothing else you will find in the state or region. Reminiscent of certain Upper East Side New York or Parisian neighborhoods, the exteriors feature white stone facings, large arched windows and richly detailed, exquisite columns and balustrades manufactured by Renaissance Cast Stone.
PROJECT’S INSPIRATION
Rick said that he designed the new townhomes based on American architect Ogden Codman Jr.’s unrealized vision of a grand community in New York City. (Codman was known for his collaboration with author Edith Wharton on her book, The Decoration of Houses, published in 1897.)
Together with his wife, Tracey—who owns an original Codman Townhome in NYC and is an expert on French design—the couple drew on Codman’s principles of harmony and proportion in designing both the sophisticated interior and exterior of the townhomes, which “pay homage to the past while embracing the future of luxury living.”
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
“Our desire was to create a timeless project, with great volume (12’ ceilings), classic detail to both the interior and exterior, and a design that could be either classic traditional, or modern,” Rick said, noting that units range from 3,350 square feet to 7,000 square feet.
Inside, the townhomes feature exquisite details such as antique French fireplaces, custom iron railing high-end Waterworks fixtures, soaring ceilings and grand staircases.
Among the exterior features that first draw the eye to the townhomes are the columns and balustrades. Rick said this project was the first time they had collaborated with Renaissance Cast Stone, describing the experience as an integral part of realizing the vision the couple had for the project, based on Codman’s earlier designs.
“The project is an amazing synthesis of French design and modern detail,” Rick said. “It stretched the limits of the craftsmen in Oklahoma City (Renaissance Cast Stone and the general contractor for the project, Van Hoose Construction), but we got excellent work when they were challenged. It is at once monumental and intimate.”
A PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE
The couple began producing drawings of the planned new development five years ago, and the second phase was recently completed. Two years ago, Rick and Tracey moved into one of the Phase 1 townhomes, which they have furnished
with 19th-century furniture and accessories and modern art.
As residents, the couple enjoys 6100 Grand’s walkable environment, which is close to shopping, restaurants and other entertainment venues, as well as the community's numerous amenities, including a pool, state-of-the-art workout center and conference room for residents’ use.
“Our target market is well-established professionals, both those still working and retired, who desire Oklahoma City’s finest design,” Rick said.
FMI
With its impressive architecture and amenities rivaling those of prestigious resorts, 6100 Grand sets a new standard for upscale living in the heart of OKC. For more information and to schedule a showing, contact David Oliver @ Sotheby's International at 405.532.3800.
RENAISSANCE CAST STONE
For this large-scale project, Renaissance Cast Stone ( RenaissanceCastStone.com) founder and owners Juan and Genaro Arriaga said they were asked to produce and install wall veneer, balustrades, columns ornate panels, quoin
corners (stone or brick that form the corner of a building) and window surrounds.
“It was one of the largest projects we have done,” he said, noting additional challenges that involved coordinating different crews during the production and delivery process.
He added that they were grateful to be asked to be a part of this project.
“It is exciting to see these types of grand projects coming to Oklahoma City,” he said. “We are very proud of the outcome of this project, and we know the client is happy, which is very important to us.”
