And wow—the dresses we feature in our fashion shoot impress! Each one wowed more than the next, and all I can say is that I was ready to put one on and head to a gala right then and there! (Plus, we had hair and makeup on set, too, so…)

While the word “fashion” probably brings images of clothing to mind, there are so many other fashionable items that we can surround ourselves with—like the stunning one-of-a-kind furniture pieces made by Peter Moosbrugger of Peter Thomas

And, the idea of anyone feeling blah about a coffee table or bookcase really gets to him.

“The worst thing you can do is buy a piece of furniture and it’s standard, run-of-the-mill, and two weeks later you don’t see it anymore… you don’t even notice it. It becomes utilitarian. It’s a shame,” Moosbrugger says.

It’s no wonder that the native Arizonan’s creations are made to resist that.

Most of his work are custom one-offs for interior designers, whether they are reception desks for luxury hotels or private residences, like a home in Paradise Valley that features a luxe glass-top table with a beautifully formidable base crafted from an 11-foot-wide root ball found in Costa Rica.

With the stunning flowing shape that defies the standard hard-lined table base and natural wood tones that yield its swirling shades, there is zero chance this piece will ever go unnoticed or ignored.

THE JOURNEY OF KYRA KING

AT 15, KYRA KING WAS COMPETING IN THE LARGEST BALLET COMPETITION—THE YOUTH AMERICA GRAND PRIX, A PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL BALLET COMPETITION. Born in Hawaii, she lived in multiple countries until she came back to the United States when she was 6, living in New Mexico.

By 17, King made it to the finals in the competition, winning a scholarship to the prestigious

and trained under Alvin Ailey company dancers

“They grew up dancing in my family’s studio as well, since my great-grandparents started the studio in 1945,” she says.

Her grandmother took it over in the 1980s, and when King began training there, it was her mother who worked with her.

and choreographers, as well as trained and performed with other modern dance companies.

By 19, she was signed with New York Model Management, working as a professional model, as well.

But then her life changed drastically.

She met a man and fell in love, but the relationship eventually took a terrible turn.

“It was a very abusive relationship,” she says.

“I was in that for nine years. I had two kids. I put everything to the side to be in survival mode and deal with that crazy relationship and ended up going through a lot of things during those nine years.”

One day, when her youngest son was 9 months old, she planned an escape.

“I woke up one day and realized I didn’t have to deal with this anymore, and didn’t want my kids to grow up in this dysfunction and chaos. I wanted to make something of my life.”

She was able to get out, and two years ago moved to the Valley where her mom now lives.

“Because of the support my mom and family gave me, I was blessed to be able to focus on being a mom to my two sons, and take the time to heal and rediscover who I am,” she says.

And then just six months after she moved to the Valley, something unique fell into her lap.

Wendy Russo, a pageant coach, saw King on Facebook and sent her a message.

“She reached out to me and said, ‘Why aren’t you doing pageants? You’d be great at it,’” King shares.

Never having competed in a pageant and not knowing much about pageants, she hesitated at first.

“I’ve always wanted to do community service, and this is a great way to get involved in the community,” she says. “I learned it’s very platform-based and that they really do care about what you do in the community. It’s not just walking or modeling—it’s about how passionate you are about your cause and how you make a difference.”

King decided to enter. Although she was used to being on stage from her dancing days, she had several sessions with Russo to work on interview-

RIZONA WAS A BOOMING PLACE IN 1960. John Webb had

apprenticed in cabinet making and thought the growing state could use his custom cabinets. He set up shop in the Stapley Date packing shed, perching a tin roof on four poles. Over the years, the company grew, merged with a countertop company, and brought in the next generation of cabinet makers. Today, Cabinets by C&F, under the leadership of Webb’s daughter Kas White and her husband Dennis, continues that family tradition.

Kas White credits her father with the tenacity to start the business they have today, and the stick-to-it-ness he passed on to her.

“We design and order manufactured custom cabinets from trusted suppliers and then we supplement that with a cabinet shop under our roof.

“He apprenticed in cabinet making and woodworking as a 14-year-old at Phoenix Tech. He was doing trim carpentry for home builders and started doing cabinets for them,” she says.

Although Webb’s first shop humbly lacked walls, he worked hard and within a few years had a fully equipped cabinet shop in Mesa.

That was where White learned to love the cabinet business. By age 6, she was playing with the pneumatic nailer, much to her mother’s dismay.

Her father encouraged White to create.

“He gave me my first little hammer when I was 6, and I still have it to this day.”

White went on to work in the industry as a teenager while attending school. Then, school completed, she apprenticed with other experts

in the field. She also worked alongside her parents in many capacities at Cabinets by C&F— from receptionist to salesperson. She also computerized the drafting and design process and created the first showroom.

Dennis White joined Cabinets by C&F in 1998. When Webb retired in 2000, the Whites became managing partners, and then purchased the business in 2005. Today, they have two showrooms, including one on Scottsdale Road.

“We design and order manufactured custom cabinets from trusted suppliers and then we supplement that with a cabinet shop under our roof. Our cabinet maker has been with us for more than 35 years,” says White.

“We’ve always been very stubborn and tenacious. We have had our fingers all over the Valley since 1960.” CabinetsByCandF.com CityLifestyle.com/ParadiseValley
