Invest in Your Future Self

When we think of investments, often the first thing that comes to mind are financial investments. Although those are important, we can invest our time, resources, and mental energy in many other ways. I curated this issue so that it is focused on ways we can invest in and enrich our lives.

For my family, travel is one of the most important ways we invest in ourselves and each other. We grow as individuals by traveling and exposing ourselves to different cultures, landscapes, and experiences. Traveling doesn’t have to be weeks-long trips to far-flung destinations. It can be the simple act of a road trip to see wildflowers or seeking out a new restaurant in a nearby town.

In this issue, you will find many different types of investments. In our cover story, you will learn more about the details of Chip and Joanna Gaines’ latest foray into Waco’s historic landscape with Hotel 1928.

There are also fun articles about Houston’s newest eatery, Artisans and how investing in concierge health with MD2 is a great way to manage healthcare for the whole family. Also, don’t miss notable interior designer Lucinda Loya’s stunning Louisville, Kentucky, manse for design inspiration.

I would love to hear about your latest Houston investments! Send me an email or follow us on social media!

LUCINDA LOYA’S STYLE

HOUSTON INTERIOR DESIGNER CREATES GLAMOROUS HOMES USING FASHION SENSE AND SERIOUS DESIGN PRINCIPLES

Lucinda Loya’s Louisville, Ky., vacation home is intentionally eclectic, filled only with things that date back to its 1875 origin through 1976, the year her family moved away from that area.

Loya, one of Houston’s most glamorous interior designers and a Houston Chronicle Best Dressed Hall of Famer, combines couture-level style with serious design principles in every project. Her newest honor is as a new inductee to the Houston Design District’s Leaders in Design program.

In this Kentucky home, you’ll find vintage Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chairs and antique bed frames, mod prints and deep, saturated paint colors throughout.

“What I discovered over the years was that I didn’t want a single aesthetic to hold me back,” said Loya, who with her husband of 25 years has two daughters, 19-yearold Elena and 21-year-old Ana Luca. “What guides me is the architecture, the client’s lifestyle and the location of the home.”

Every home is different, from New York pied-a-terres to sprawling East Coast mansions and oversized Houston abodes.

Loya’s affection for great style began at a young age, and even when she babysat as a tween, she’d move furniture around after the kids had gone to bed. Then in her 20s, her great apartment style turned friends into clients and her career as an interior designer was born.

In business for more than 30 years, Loya has created beautiful interiors for homeowners in Houston and all over the world. Her recent projects list includes the pool area of the new Thompson high rise in Houston and the practice facility and common areas of the Boston Celtics. She’s also designed the homes of Boston Celtics owner Wycliffe “Wyc” Grousbeck and his wife, Emilia Fazzalari.

Her designs are driven by simple principles: incorporating a sense of emotion or soul, using contrast, warmth and texture, and mixing patterns and unexpected colors.

MD2 BRINGS CONCIERGE SERVICE TO HEALTHCARE

MD² MAKES INVESTING IN HEALTH AND WELLNESS EASY BY OFFERING CONCIERGE MEDICINE AND A LOW DOCTOR-TO-PATIENT RATIO TO ENSURE TOP-NOTCH CARE.

MD² (pronounced MD squared) recently opened its first primary care office in Houston in the River Oaks neighborhood. Doctors Karen Baerenstecher, MD, and Harold Condara, Jr., MD, FACC, each see just 50 families, a luxury in medicine where most primary care doctors see between 1500 and 1900 patients annually.  A low doctor-to-patient ratio is the cornerstone of the MD² philosophy, which centers around fully getting to know each patient and their medical needs. Appointments can last two to three hours, and doctors will even go with their patients to consultations with

Dr. Hal Condara

Dr. Karen Baerenstecher

“Our doctors have the ability to practice medicine in an ideal environment, developing close personal relationships and collaborating with the network of MD² specialists.”

– Dr. Howard Maron,  MD² founder

specialists. MD² clients have access to their doctor’s cell phone number, and if the need arises, a doctor is available anytime, day or night, to meet at their home, workplace, or even the airport.

“Our doctors have the ability to practice medicine in an ideal environment, developing close personal relationships and collaborating with the network of MD² specialists,” said MD² founder Dr. Howard Maron. “It is a tremendous gift for them to care for their patients as they would for their own families. This is healthcare as it should be with zero compromises.”

The cost of concierge medicine is worth the peace of mind for many of its patients. An MD² membership fee is $24,000 annually for the first family member plus an additional $12,000 annually for a spouse. Families are encouraged to keep insurance for any procedures needed outside the clinic.

Annual physical exams, unlimited visits, home and work visits, x-rays, and routine lab tests, including blood panels, cardiovascular screenings, and cancer evaluations, are examples of the services covered by MD². Patient privacy is also a priority at MD², where only one patient is booked at a time, alleviating the worry of crossing paths with anyone in the waiting room. md2.com

HOW TO DESIGN A RELAXING SPACE

ARTICLE BY EMILY FOSTER INTERIORS

INVESTING IN HOME DESIGN CAN GIVE YOU A PEACEFUL SANCTUARY WHERE YOU CAN ESCAPE FROM THE STRESSES OF DAILY LIFE. SO GO AHEAD, TAKE THE PLUNGE AND REVAMP YOUR LIVING SPACES – IT’S WORTH EVERY PENNY!

invest inyour living space

There are many things that can help a room feel relaxing, but let’s keep it simple and focus on my top three. I would say that one must incorporate good lighting, great textures, and a decluttered space to truly get the cozy vibes. Let’s tackle each.

GOOD LIGHTING

It’s imperative that there are multiple sources of light in a space. Rooms need a soft warm light, so I always like to use a light bulb between 2,700k and 3,000k. Also, all lights should have the same temperature light bulb to avoid clashing. It’s not enough to just have recessed or pendant lighting. I add a table or floor lamp to a space to truly have ambient light.  Candles are a must for me. They can be scented candles (an extra way to add relaxation) or I like to use remote control tapered candles, so I don’t have to worry about cleaning up wax later.

GREAT TEXTURES

Textures are seen in toss pillows, rugs, draperies, throw blankets and furniture upholstery. Textures add color, pattern and visual interest. I like to use at least three different textures to help a room feel lived-in and welcoming.

DECLUTTERING

So many times, a person thinks that every nook and cranny and every wall need to have something, and this is not the case. A decluttered space is actually more relaxing because overcrowding of items doesn’t quiet the mind. Decluttering a space can be overwhelming, I get it, so just do it in stages.  You’ll love the outcome when the room is tidy, organized and you are only surrounded with what brings you joy.

A Modern Classic

Many of the historic details of the hotel's entryway were kept intact.

Chip and Joanna Gaines invested in and transformed Waco's landscape with the revitalization of Hotel 1928.

ARTICLE BY GABI DE LA ROSA PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF HOTEL 1928

Nestled in the heart of Waco is the newly opened Hotel 1928, a collaborative venture between Fixer Upper stars Chip and Joanna Gaines and hospitality company AJ Capital Partners. The hotel is a historic restoration and adaptive reuse of the former Grand Karem Shrine Building, a landmark of Waco's historical and cultural landscape.

Many may have seen the hotel come to life during the couple's show, Fixer Upper: The Hotel Named after the year of its completion, Hotel 1928 offers 33 guest rooms, two food and beverage outlets, a café, over 6,600 square feet of event space, a rooftop terrace, and a retail shop featuring exclusive Magnolia-designed merchandise.

HISTORY

The 1920s agricultural boom in Waco spurred significant expansion, leading to the construction of the Karem Shrine Temple building by the local Shriners chapter. Designed by Dallas architects with Wacoan support, the building reflects Middle Eastern and Moorish architectural influences and was a landmark in Waco for decades. After 75 years of being the go-to place for social gatherings, the building's energy faded until the Gaines rediscovered it.

Named after the year the building was completed, Hotel 1928 offers 33 guest rooms.

Bertie’s on the Rooftop serves seasonal dishes and bright cocktails.

ARCHITECTURE & DESIGN

In 2020, Chip, Joanna, and AJ Capital Partners started their journey to reimagine the historic building. Over four years, they transformed it into a boutique hotel that embodies the spirit and values of the Magnolia brand while retaining its Moorish Revival and Spanish Revival elements. The restoration retains historic features such as arched entryways, clay tile roofs, and ornate stonework.

"When we first toured the nearly one-hundredyear-old building, we were amazed by the unique architecture and how much of it was still intact. We knew then that this project would require a thoughtful approach to design, where old meets new, and that our choices would need to be period appropriate but also feel decidedly Magnolia," said Joanna in a Magnolia blog post. "Being that the property was built in 1928, we had a lot of fun leaning into that golden age of American culture when anticipation was in the air and the future felt bright. We intentionally chose colors and materials that sparked a sort of nostalgia for those roaring twenties."

The lobby boasts restored terrazzo flooring, plaster walls, transom windows, and Moorishstyle arches, while the rooftop addition seamlessly blends with the original structure, offering sweeping views of Waco. Design details like French striped wallpaper and furniture reflect the building's heritage and charm.

"When you step inside, we really want it to feel like you're stepping back in time, and that every space would feel like permission to get swept up in that nostalgia, whether you're dining in one of the restaurants, playing a game of chess in the library, or relaxing in your room."

– Joanna Gaines

The renovation, coordinated with historic preservation authorities, earned landmark status with the National Register of Historic Places, preserving its architectural legacy for future generations.

In typical Joanna Gaines style, no detail was overlooked. Many of the items in the hotel are custom-made, from the furniture to the robes and slippers and even the scent that wafts throughout the hotel – guests at Hotel 1928 are in for a truly bespoke experience.

Hotel 1928 maintains the building’s original facade, including bricks.

DINING & AMENITIES

The Brasserie at Hotel 1928 offers an elevated dining experience, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a seasonal menu of reimagined Texas comfort food. Bertie's on the Rooftop imbued with nostalgic charm, serves lighter, Texas-inspired dishes alongside delicious cocktails. With indoor and outdoor seating, guests can enjoy al fresco dining with views of downtown Waco.

Guests at Hotel 1928 will have a warm, welcoming experience with a touch of luxury, including Le Labo Bath amenities, custom Sferra sheets, and Dyson hair dryers. The hotel offers pet-friendly accommodations, morning coffee (delivered daily), and a turndown service. The hotel also boasts a two-story library with hundreds of books from the bookstore of notable Texas author Larry McMurtry.

"So much of the work we do at Magnolia begins from a place of hospitality and a heart for making people feel at home, and this hotel feels like an extension of that intention," said Joanna. "Throughout the design and renovation journey, our team poured a lot of time and passion into telling the story of our town and finding ways to make guests feel that sense of warmth and belonging. So, we hope everyone who steps inside this hotel will experience that and feel right at home."

"We knew then that this project would require a thoughtful approach to design, where old meets new, and that our choices would need to be period appropriate but also feel decidedly Magnolia."

“I believe the arts serve an essential purpose. They bring people together for a shared moment of transformation and human connection. I created the Houston Arts Pass platform to enable these moments and enrich people’s lives with the arts. I had to find a way to enable more people to access performances, provide exposure to our uniquely local arts groups, and strengthen our arts community through collaboration. I invite you to think outside the box office to experience the best of our city.“
