March 2023 PUBLISHER

Kathy Slemp | kslemp@citylifestyle.com CONTR IBUTING WR ITER S

Home. So much contained in that little four letter word. Home is our grounding. Our base. Our launchpad. It’s where we start and end each day.

And while the particulars look different for each of us, the meaning and value it holds for all of us is undeniable.

Author Wendy Wunder said, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” As we thought about home - we wanted to highlight what makes it special to our readers. That of course includes the food and drinks, the aesthetic and design, but most importantly - the people.

We feel like the lucky ones as we got to learn more about the businesses and individuals that comprise this city and hope the small lens into their lives and work brings people in this community together.

As you flip through the pages of this issue, we hope you’ll feel encouraged and connected to the people around you - in your city, neighborhood and most all of - your home.

Every month, we hear from readers who keep this magazine for longer than just the month labeled on the cover. They say they hold onto it for months as coffee table art or an accessory in their home. We feel proud to create a resource that is valued in our community and strive every month to deliver the value you expect. Thanks for letting us be a part of your home.

Happy March!

Tulsa's Best Kept Secret Mustard Seed Door Consignment is Tulsa’s place for one-of-a-kind furnishings, décor & more.

ARTICLE BY ANDREA GARDNER | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ACRYLIC ASYLUM ART

Mustard Seed Door Consignment feels more like a high-end furniture boutique than a consignment store. There are no tacky booths stuffed with half-broken furniture, kitschy decorations, and knick-knacks from a bygone era. While most consignment stores make you think worn and out-of-fashion, Mustard Seed says classic and classy.

The deceivingly large space at Tulsa’s London Square is peppered with tasteful vignettes of style and luxury. A plush leather sofa. An Italian vase. A dining room set. The furniture is high-quality from reputable brands, all in excellent condition. The accessories, lamps, textiles, and wall art on display may range in styles from primitive to modern but are all something you could envision in your own home. When Tulsa’s elite redecorate or downsize, this is where their things go.

O UR TOWN | HOM E + D ESI GN

Owners Diana Clark and John Clark, her son, take the best furnishings and décor and give them new life. They carefully assess each item presented to them for quality, condition, and desirability and only accept those they are confident will sell. Diana remarks that consigners are often shocked by how well their item did. Even though consigned pieces may be sold at a fraction of their original purchase price, they are still sold at a respectable price.

The choice of where to consign comes down to what you want to get out of it. Diana explains a simple truth she has learned over 19 years of business: “The nicer the venue you place your piece in, the better it does. If you put your piece next to something low quality, your piece is perceived as low quality.”

Consigning proves a better alternative to auctions, estate sales, and online platforms

like Facebook Marketplace because Mustard Seed offers greater exposure from an abundant following and their friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Mustard Seed employs extensive social media to advertise inventory. Devoted customers stop in frequently to view the ever-changing merchandise, and some even buy things sight unseen from social media posts because people trust the Mustard Seed’s reputation.

Diana reveals that Mustard Seed Door Consignment is also the place where clients choose to sell furniture and décor when redecorating, downsizing, moving, any type of life transition or after a death. “People want to find the most respectful thing to do with someone’s belongings,” Diana explains, and Mustard Seed is known as a reputable and respectful place to sell. “People can feel good about selling their loved ones’ things with us because they know they are going to a good home.”

Consigners can also rest assured that Mustard Seed Door Consignment operates with impeccable integrity. A surprising 97% of items taken on consignment find their way to new homes. Those that don’t in the 90-day period, however, are given back to the owners or donated per the consigners’ wishes. Mustard Seed does not take possession of unsold items or place unclear restrictions on the process. “If a piece is over $100 and doesn’t sell, it still belongs to you, and you choose what happens to it next,” Diana explains.

Discerning shoppers flock to Mustard Seed for the originality of the merchandise as well as the quality.

There is no mass-market production represented here.

You aren’t going to see identical pieces in the homes of your friends or on sale at big box stores. What you will find are unique, quality, one-of-a-kind furnishings at a reasonable price.

Mustard Seed Door Consignment is also a practical way to furnish your home. Amid current inventory shortages and long wait times, consignment promises immediacy. Diana confesses: “we hear nightmares every week of people waiting months and months for furniture they’ve ordered. They say, ‘I wish I’d come here first!’”

Furnishings are arranged throughout the store in a way that allows customers to imagine them in their own home.

SPA SEARCHING Five questions to ask before choosing your med spa

If you’re looking for non-surgical treatments to rejuvenate your skin and body, a med spa is the place for you. A med spa combines the specialized medical knowledge of an aesthetic medical center with the luxuries of a day spa to provide non-surgical aesthetic medical services under the supervision of a licensed physician.

Especially as minimally invasive procedures become more popular, med spas are popping up all over the country. Brittany Richie, patient care coordinator at PRC Rejuvenation Center on Lewis, shares her top five tips on choosing the best med spa for you and your body's needs.

1. LOOK FOR AN EXCELLENT, ACCOMMODATING STAFF It's so important that you know that a board-certified physician is performing your services. The physician should be properly trained, knowledgeable, and experienced in the procedure you're looking to have done. The physician should be able to give you a detailed walk-through of the entire procedure and any possible side effects.

2. FIND THE MED SPA THAT OFFERS THE RIGHT SERVICES FOR YOU Innovative treatment options in the med spa industry grow by the day, so whether you're looking for Botox or a simple facial, you want to know what services are available through the med spas you're considering. PRC Rejuvenation offers a wide variety of services, including Botox, micro-needling, hair removal, cell and IV therapies, and so much more. We also offer free consultations to help walk you through the pros and cons of potential treatment options.

EXP E RT H E LP | BEAU TY

3. CHECK GREAT (OR NOT-SOGREAT) REVIEWS Reviews aren't just for restaurants and nail salons! One way to tell if the med spa and its medical personnel are reputable and qualified is by reading patient testimonials and reviews. Be sure to visit the websites of the med spas you're considering to read about others' experiences, and don't forget to check Google and Facebook as well.

4. SHOP AROUND AND COMPARE PRICES Some spas may offer specials or discounted prices, but med spa services are usually reasonable. You'll want to double-check prices as you research potential providers, because pricing often changes with the seasons. If a med spa doesn't list prices on their menu of services, be sure to ask and find out whether there are any add-ons or extra fees. When you shop around for a med spa, take each one's prices into account. This way, you’ll know what the going rate is for the treatments.

5. PICK A MED SPA THAT'S CONVENIENTLY LOCATED Location does matter when choosing a medical spa, especially because some services may require more than one follow-up visit, so you'll want to be sure to find a convenient, close location.

PRC Rejuvenation Center is located at 5577 S Lewis Ave in Tulsa. prcrejuvenation.com

BEAUTY IN EVERY STEP RENAISSANCE HARDWOOD FLOORS CREATES UNIQUE CUSTOM HARDWOOD FLOORING THAT WILL LAST A LIFETIME

ARTICLE BY DEBRA LAIZURE

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

Hardwood floors are a timeless classic that adds a touch of elegance to any home. From traditional to contemporary design, natural hardwood has a unique look that will add warmth and character to your home. With proper care and maintenance, your hardwood floor can last for decades while it increases the value of your home.

Charla Nicklas and her husband, Tom have owned Renaissance Hardwood Floors for more than 40 years.

They have built an impeccable reputation for fine craftsmanship and superior customer service. Their custom-designed and handcrafted hardwood floors are known for their quality, beauty, and originality. Nicklas is often asked, “What’s in style right now?”

“Anything you want!” she says. “We can create custom floors, ceilings, beams, walls, furniture, countertops, and more. If it has to do with wood, we can do it.”

Nicklas says too many people get fixated on what is popular on home improvement shows. Some of the prettiest floors she has seen are dark wood floors in a modern farmhouse kitchen. Custom herringbone and chevron

floors are hot right now and have stood the test of time. Hand-scraped floors are still popular, as well.

She says, “Don’t be afraid to go against the grain. Just because a trend is popular doesn’t mean it's the right floor for you.

Go with what you love and make it uniquely your own.”

Hardwood flooring celebrates the subtle variances and imperfections in the wood.

There are no two trees that are alike in the forest, which is why hardwoods are so uniquely beautiful.

However, if you are particularly discerning and want a flawless finish, Nicklas suggests a

product such as pre-finished wood flooring or luxury vinyl plank. These products have a perfect finish because they are manufactured by machines. She agrees the quality of pre-finished wood and vinyl plank has improved over the years, but the warmth and beauty of natural wood are lost.

Nicklas says it is also easier to repair a damaged hardwood floor. Unless you had the forethought to buy extra pre-finished or vinyl plank flooring for a future repair, it is not going to match.

The company’s restoration expertise is well-known in the older areas of Midtown and Cherry Street. Floors that are 10 years CONTINUED >

old or more will have a polyurethane finish that has ambered over time. It isn’t the stain that is hard to match, it is the sheen.

Renaissance Hardwood Floors’ installers can lace in new boards, if required, and seamlessly match the finish. They can also source unusual woods and non-standard-sized wood to match an older home’s flooring.

She says, “Engineered floors are gaining in popularity and offer advantages, especially in wider planks. It doesn’t hurt to ask us for a complimentary quote. Hardwood floors are typically within reach, and you will have a beautiful investment that will last a lifetime.”

Noteworthy Projects If you have been in a home with a stunning inlaid wood medallion in the foyer, chances are it was designed by Renaissance Hardwood Floors. Recently, the company was honored to create a large medallion for Oral Roberts University.

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

“THERE ARE NO T W O T R E E S T H AT ARE ALIKE IN THE F O R E S T, W H I C H I S WHY HARDWOODS A R E S O U N I Q U E LY B E AU T I F U L .”

“One of our most memorable projects was with a homeowner who was a historian. She asked us to install original 18” planks without sanding or adding a finish to keep the floors authentic to its colonial time period,” she says.

“We also had a builder that had purchased reclaimed wood from an antique barn in Pennsylvania. The wood was incredibly dry, but we were able to refurbish it to its original glory. It took a little more time, but it was a gorgeous floor.”

And if that isn’t interesting enough, the company is making its mark designing and installing custom basketball courts.

Nicklas says, “We really can do anything. If you can dream it, we can create it in wood.”

Visions in Tile & Stone What’s new, hard to find and popular trends

ARTICLE BY JOY PALMER

PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATHYANN PHOTO

Walking into Visions tile and stone inc. is like walking into a candy store. The vast selection of colorful tile and stone has endless possibilities.

“We treat our clients the way we would want to be treated and we enjoy being creative and stepping outside the box in our designs”.

– Dennis Pine, Owner.

LARGE FORMAT PORCELAIN Large format tiles have become increasingly popular as they provide a stunning appearance due to their minimal seam lines and a greater sense of spaciousness.

There are various sizes and looks and with fewer grout lines there is less maintenance.

PENNY ROUNDS

Penny round marble mosaics by Marble Systems offer plenty of choices in design and color schemes. They add creativity, depth, and character. Natural Stone Resources* carries mini hexes and mini penny rounds made from recycled glass.

DRAMATIC DESIGNS WITH LIGHTING

New collections of textured tiles appear one way in daylight and dramatically different when light reflects off them showing geometric three-dimensional designs.

The designs change depending on the way the tile is originally put together.

HANDCRAFTED Handcrafted and rustic are popular.

ARTO*, known for making rustic and elegantly handmade ceramic and concrete tiles, is made to order and can be customized.

POLISHED ONYX

Onyx is a natural calcium-based stone, is incredibly long-lasting when maintained and is perfect for high-traffic areas. It’s available in a wide range of tones, designs and colors. Onyx is lightweight and translucent so if lit properly, it can be a gorgeous focal point.

UNCOMPROMISING BEAUTY

Syzygy Tile is crafted by hand and made to order producing an exquisite line of shapes and mosaics. Glazes are carefully applied with a brush.

PERSONALIZATION Mission Tile West specializes in a diverse range of fine ceramic, terra cotta, stone, porcelain, glass and more. Their styles include historical styles, personal styles, and modern or contemporary styles so you can find the unique combination that will personalize your home.

LUXURY

Tarbaka Studio’s* original designs together with beautiful timeless materials fulfill a brilliant niche in the market.

ELONGATED SCALLOPS

The new elongated scallop is quickly becoming a favorite. The fresh linear composition creates a bold look while staying in fashion. The Richards & Sterling* new BonBon collection has a glossy finish in beautiful, soft pastel colors.

TEXTURE

Textured tiles have great aesthetic appeal and can subtly enhance an interior with contrasting elements and décor. You can add dimension and visual intrigue to any surface. The Rok Candy collection is new by AlyseEdwards.

PINKS AND GREENS

Dennis said pinks are coming back big time but various shades of green are also popular. Encore Ceramics* makes handmade artisan tile available in any color including the classic pink, black and white tile pictured. * Exclusive to either Oklahoma or the Tulsa metro.

5 Hot Trends

ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY J.A. STENGER PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES

Brooke’s Pro Tip:

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.

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.

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 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.

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! 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.

The Importance of Tracing Assets in a Divorce Case Tracing separate property or assets in a divorce can be an important issue for lots of individuals. Take a situation where somebody has a 401k or IRA before marriage. They have put money into this account before marriage.

They then get married.

After marriage, they continue to contribute to this 401k or IRA. At this point, pre-marital separate funds and marital funds are being mixed.

The parties then file for divorce. In these situations, the one spouse is often asking that the entire 401k or IRA be divided in the divorce. The spouse who had funds in these accounts before marriage argues that the pre-marital por-

tion should be set aside to them entirely. And they argue that only the funds put in during the marriage should be divided through the divorce.

The reality, however, is that the separate funds need to be traced out from the account.

This often requires a forensic accountant reviewing statements and doing an analysis to determine the amount that was in these accounts during the marriage.

At a minimum, parties may need to subpoena the statements from the date of the marriage to try to determine the amount that was in there.

However, it can often be hard to obtain statements at the exact date of the marriage.

In addition to 401ks or IRAs, tracing can be important for other assets like bank

accounts, investment accounts, whole life insurance policies, and other assets where a party might have built up cash value before marriage. In some instances, a party might consider having a prenuptial agreement drafted before getting married.
