EDITOR’S NOTE

LIVING (IT) UP HERE IN THE WINTER

photo by Bill Milne

T

hose of us who have lived year-round in Northern Michigan, season to season, are familiar with the oft-asked question posed by those who have never experienced it here past Labor Day: “What’s there to do around here in the winter?” The short answer usually includes outdoor sports— cross-country and downhill skiing, snowshoeing, snow-biking, snowmobiling, ice fishing, ice skating, even curling at Stormcloud Brewing Company in Frankfort and Broomstack Kitchen & Taphouse in Maple City. Bored? It usually feels like there are too many choices.

If we haven’t glazed over our questioner with those answers, most of us year-rounders will tick off the fabulous craft brewpubs that dot almost every small town in our region and the way they host trivia nights and other lively games in the winter. And then there are our numerous wineries that stay open all winter (Bring your snowshoes to those open for a tramp in the vineyards!).

And, of course, there is the excellent Northern Michigan food scene bursting with restaurants that range from our bigger towns of Traverse City and Petoskey, out to our small towns where you can always count on a tavern serving up great breakfasts and memorable burgers.

But if I have really grabbed my listeners, I will add that loving Up North winters starts with your home nest. Some of the home essentials for cozying up from December through March? Windows to watch the snow falling on trees or a frozen lake—and a cardinal sighting always raises the spirits. A kitchen that you love to cook in alone or with family and friends. A large table for serving long candle-lit but casual dinners. A fireplace—wood or gas it doesn’t really matter; what matters is the way those flames warm your soul.

In this issue you will see two homes that are beautifully nestedout for winter by homeowners who spend a good chunk of the winter here. You’ll also meet the winners—builders, architects, designers and more—of our Home Sweet Home Awards. Be assured that these are some of the folks you’ll want to check out when you get to outfitting your home for living it up here in winter.

Here’s to what some people call the best season of all!

FIREPLACE STYLE

Who doesn’t love a grand old fieldstone fireplace with its stone chimney rising to the rafters? But sometimes the home style, room style or even the budget just doesn’t work with it. It turns out, there’s more than one way to light your style on fire!

BY ELIZABETH EDWARDS

RURAL INDUSTRIAL Architect: Ray Kendra, Environment Architects Builder: Dave Thompson, LTD Construction

RAY KENDRA’S riff on this modern barn-style home includes a black steel roof, black-framed windows and polished concrete floors—a backdrop that called for a fireplace with a rural-industrial vibe. The core of the fireplace is a form-follows-function, high efficiency Rumford-style prefabricated unit with a shallow depth and pleasingly modern square proportions. “The beauty of this fireplace is the simplicity of lines and materials,” Kendra says.

“The bolted steel lintel complemented the industrial vocabulary of other features found throughout the house,” he continues. Kendra went on to face the fireplace in a granite that appears dripped with shades of black and brown—an effect that perfectly blends with the homeowner’s collection of modern art and furnishings.

“WE WANTED to create an elegant, calm and artistically inspiring area that featured classic elements with a modern twist that would be both fresh and timeless,” says designer Vee Mossburg of this remodeled fireplace. To that end, Mossburg faced the fireplace in a Calcutta Chaldean marble and painted the wood mantel in Benjamin Moore White Dove. The bird-motif fireplace grate is a French antique from the Louis XVI period.

Clean-lined, 4-inch wainscoting painted in Benjamin Moore Summer Shower (mixed to a quarter strength) and an impressionistic still life from the Harbor Springs gallery Tvedten Fine Art finishes the tableau.

FARMHOUSE FRESH Designer: Elizabeth Drake Location: Leelanau County

THIS FIREPLACE is located in a nook tucked off the kitchen and used primarily by the woman of the home. While the rest of this house is outfitted with several handsome granite-faced hearths, designer Elizabeth Drake wanted to give this one a more feminine touch, delivering with this beauty clad in Ann Sacks tile. The fireplace screen, blue dishes and white Staffordshire dog, all curated from the homeowner’s personal antique collection, round out the look.

THREE BARN FARM A DESIGNER AND HER CREATIVE CLIENT TEAM UP TO REINVENT FARMHOUSE STYLE IN THIS STUNNING LEELANAU PENINSULA FARMHOUSE.

he seeds of this project were sown

many years ago when the homeowner toured a show-house in Lake Forest, Illinois, that was designed by Chicago-based designer Elizabeth Drake. “She asked me,” Drake recalls, “‘If we ever build a farmhouse, will you design it?’”

A number of years later, the homeowners were ready to build that farmhouse on land they purchased in the heart of the Leelanau Peninsula. The couple had definite ideas about what they wanted in this home. First and foremost, it needed to be a layout that welcomed their four married children and their grandchildren for visits all year—including this family’s allimportant holiday gathering. “That was the driver of this house,” Drake says. “A place for every married child and their children with plenty of space to make them feel welcome.” That plan needed to include a kitchen big enough for the 10 adults and five children in this family of cooks and foodies to gather in—and a separate dining room in the great room where the fuss and

muss of cooking could be left behind for long, relaxed dinners.

Beyond those wishes, the couple wanted an exterior and interior design that fit the peninsula’s bucolic farm country—a design that would be as natural and organic as the large garden that they had already cultivated on the property. To that end, Traverse City-based architect Jim Elkins, now retired but then with the firm Strong, Drury & Elkins, designed the classic white board-and-batten farmhouse complete with a fieldstone chimney and foundation and metal roof. A connected garage and a separate building that houses an office and art studio are painted a perfect barn red.

The home’s interior was a happy and seamless collaboration between Drake, Elkins and the homeowners. “What I love best about my work is

when I am able to design a home from the ground up—from the finishes to the furniture,” Drake says of the project. “When the finishes and the furnishings play together, there is an alchemy.”

As Drake explains, that alchemy began with the color choices. The homeowner, an artist, embraces bright, bold color and she charged Drake with basing the home’s palette on a sunny yellow (think: the yolks of farm-raised eggs!) and green, the shade of new plant shoots in the spring. Barn red and sky blue would be ancillary colors. “The trick was to keep the look from getting cute—that is a slippery slope,” Drake says.

Drake succeeded in avoiding the cute factor by grounding the home in natural materials: a mix of white oak and slate floors, wood-beamed ceilings and granite-faced fireplaces and chimneys.

Assorted antiques that Drake and the homeowner curated from the couple’s home in Chicago added to the timeless feel. Among the pieces are an early last-century portrait of a relative, a pine console that Drake turned into a powder room vanity and a primitive-style wooden statue of Abe Lincoln (a nod to the

couple’s home state of Illinois).

Pops of color and fresh twists on traditional elements are key to the home’s overall style. The sunny yellow makes its appearance on interior barn doors, including one that disguises the refrigerator, as well as on wainscoting in the front entrance. Likewise, a classic sofa is upholstered in spring green-and-white dotted fabric. Wallpaper with motifs including fresh green-and-white buffalo plaid (in a nook of the kitchen), birch trees hung with pears (a bath-

room), whimsical cows (another bathroom) and charming chickens (the laundry room) add playfulness to the traditional home. The homeowner pitched in, painting a huge antique buffet sky blue and coral.

The home is a lively, comfortable sanctuary in all seasons of the year. But it really proved its mettle when six adults and one small child quarantined in it during the pandemic lockdown. “The house functioned like a champ,” Drake says.

had

their

hearts set on finding a vintage log cabin in Northern Michigan, one that, as Tim says, “felt like a summer camp.”

Having vacationed at The Homestead in Glen Arbor, they began their search on nearby Glen Lake and Lake Leelanau, but didn’t find exactly what they wanted. A property for sale on Torch Lake got them interested in the east side of Traverse City and, while they didn’t purchase that property, it did make them realize that the lakes on the east side of town are just as blue and beautiful as the westside lakes.

So, when a circa 1930s-40s log cabin on Elk Lake came up for sale, they had a look. If the quaint cabin with its log siding and even more quaint wavy Bavarian trim weren’t enough, the 200 feet of stunning frontage where two streams join to gurgle as one into Elk Lake, was. Sold! The cabin’s bones were good, but the couple knew they’d need to update the kitchen and redo the hodgepodge of additions to create a consistent rustic theme. But the bearskin rug that had stretched across the ceiling of the

original section of the cabin for who knows how long? As far as Tim and Liz were concerned, that wasn’t going anywhere.

In Traverse City for the closing on the cabin in the fall of 2014, the couple dropped into the furniture/design store Urban Diversions, owned by Dale and Teresa Campbell, then located on Union Street, but now relocated to the corner of US-31 and Bunker Hill Road in Williamsburg. Dale is an award-winning designer of furniture and interiors, including kitchens and bathrooms. Tim and Liz walked into Urban Diversions to look at furniture. They came out having hired the Campbells to manage the entire renovation project. “We’d had some bad experiences with contractors in Chicago,” Tim says. “Knowing that someone we could trust was going to be all over this project from ideas to managing the contracting was a really good feeling.”

At Dale’s recommendation, Tim and Liz hired contractor Brad Smith of All-Ways Construction. Later in the project, after completing the interior, Smith retired, and Dale recommended that Kris Arnold of KA Construction finish exterior renovations. Dale's first major suggestion

was to open up the beautiful view of Elk Lake from the foyer, which was blocked by a staircase. By moving a few walls around, Dale found a spot for the staircase that didn’t block the view, and the All-Ways team built a new one with half-log steps, peeled-log supports and handsome wrought-iron railing spindles.

Mission #2 was giving the later additions to the main cabin—rooms that included the living and dining room and that were hung with drywall instead of log—a more rustic cabin-like feel. To that end, Smith and his team jacked the walls up, took out all their supports and replaced them with pine beams—placed so that an antique canoe, found

by Dale, could hang from the ceiling between them, and

so that the huge antlers of a trophy elk mounted over the fireplace wouldn’t scrape them. A pine-clad ceiling, a wall covered in half-logs and a hand-scraped oak floor round out the rustic theme. The remaining drywall is painted a vintage shade known as “haint blue,” that long ago was thought to ward off evil spirits.

The kitchen got a makeover with knotty pine cabinets trimmed in hickory (to match a hickory table and chairs in the breakfast nook), designed by Dale. A generous new 4-by-10-foot island is topped in a leathered quartzite called Golden Galaxis, as are the perimeter counters and the counter-to-ceiling backsplash. Some rearranging of walls in the master bedroom made room for a walk-in

closet and bathroom large enough for a soaking tub (as well as a new powder room off the foyer). Additionally, three bedrooms and a bath upstairs were redone to accommodate guests and the couple’s two sons.

The cabin is furnished largely with furniture sourced from Urban Diversions. Among the pieces are a pair of mahogany chairs designed with a vintage nautical feel, as well as two chairs with magnificent scrolled arms that is a part of Dale’s own Waterfront Lounge collection. And much of what didn’t come from Urban Diversions was either collected by Dale (a stuffed Wolverine in honor of Tim, a University of Michigan alum) or Dale helped commission— including the fabulous wall-sized Michigan-shaped mirror framed in Michigan stones that hangs in the dining room.

The cabin is still a work in progress. Among the most recent changes are all-new Marvin windows framed in Wineberry (a shade of red) cladding. Even so, the family is as comfortable here as if they had owned it for generations. As the years roll by, it is feeling less like a summer camp and more like the dream place for Tim and Liz to retire.

HOME SWEET HOME AWARD WINNERS! We asked our readers to vote for their dream home design-and-build team.

Drum roll, please …

BY ELIZA B ETH EDWA R DS

Best Architect

“I have always looked toward the vernacular in architecture as inspiration for my work: in the natural, in the manmade, in the cultural, in anything that defines the origin of a place. It motivates me every day … and I have always had great clients to indulge this passion.”

—KEN RICHMOND

>

When architect Ken Richmond opened his Traverse City-based firm 22 years ago, he was looking forward—and backward. Richmond’s keen eye and passion for the historic landscape and lifestyle of the North—from lakeside Victorian cottages to rustic cabins and farmhouses—shape his designs. The results are homes that blend exquisitely into their sites, while offering all the amenities his clients desire to live their best Up North lives.

RICHMOND & ASSOCIATES

Best Home Builder

CMB CONSTRUCTION The C in CMB Construction stands for owner Colin Bushong’s first name. But it could just as well stand for “Collaboration.” For two decades, Bushong has begun each residential building project with a blank slate, listening carefully to everything from his clients’ ideas to their budgets. Then, along with his skilled team of designers and woodworkers, he sets out to find resourceful, affordable ways to make their dreams come true.

“We are humbled and honored to win this award! Building fine homes is our passion. We take great pride in our build quality and process. Helping people build their dream home is an amazing experience.”

—COLIN BUSHONG

KITCHEN CHOREOGRAPHY

“It’s a joy to work in the landscape industry in beautiful Northern Michigan. Our team has grown from a few guys in a barn 30 years ago to over 100 people, including my two sons, Dusty and Travis Drost, serving our community today. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

—BOB DROST

There is no shortage of accolades to describe the work of Angela Goodall and her team at Kitchen Choreography.

Elegant, stylish and flawless all come to mind. But one adjective that especially pops is seamless. From molding to flooring, whether it’s in a laundry room, powder room, kitchen or a whole house interior, Kitchen Choreography’s work integrates seamlessly with the environment around it. What’s more, Team KC prides itself on working seamlessly with contractors and homeowners—an especially important quality since so many of their clients are second-home owners who aren’t usually on-site during construction.

Some artists work on canvas. Bob Drost works across landscapes where his mediums are nature’s most basic elements such as earth, water, fire, plantings and rock—big, boulder-type rocks. Show him a rock and he’ll shape an entire outdoor fireplace around it, turn it into the ledge of a cascading pool or use it to punctuate the finale of a grand outdoor staircase. And where there is form, there is function.

Drost Landscapes are designed to hold up to Northern Michigan’s elements, so that homeowners can relax and revel in the outdoors.

“Winning this award is very heartwarming, both to me and our design crew at Kitchen Choreography.

Northern Michigan is home to many talented designers and it is a great honor to be recognized among them.

Thank you to everyone who voted and recognized our hard work and passion for this industry!”

—ANGELA GOODALL

Best Renovation and Remodel

WATERFRONT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT & BUILDERS Several years ago, Joe Lucier purchased a home maintenance and construction company from his mentor, Gregg Garn. In a matter of months, the company grew from 12 to 50 employees and added more luxury homes to its project list. How does growth like that happen?

Mostly word-of-mouth from their happy customers in the Emmet County area. Waterfront Property Management & Builders may have gotten bigger, but Lucier says the smallest home maintenance jobs still receive the attention to detail his company has become known for.
