a note from the

editor

T

he first part of November is when the holiday memories start coming to me in fits and spurts.

There was that one year, when my family had an exchange student from Argentina living with us.

Christmas morning we all ran outside for a photo — in bare feet — to experience with him his first white Christmas.

Another thought comes from way back, of heading over to my great aunt’s house for a family post-Christmas party, mulled cider streaming out of a coffee urn into waiting mugs.

Another year, recently, had me making the four-hour drive downstate after just being there for Christmas so I could ring in the new year in family tradition — bowling, pizza and celebration.

The word that links my memories together is family, something that is in-

separable from the season for me. And although everyone has slightly — or very ­— different traditions, I couldn’t help but think of my own when visiting the homes in this issue.

The Gross home on Walloon Lake was, quite simply, stunning on a few levels. Initially, it was the scale of the

8,000-square-foot residence. But on closer look, and through conversation and stories about the life that happens inside, the home took on a warmth few can rival.

Another lakeview home, which puts most Christmas decorating to shame, is the Nielsens’ on Lake Charlevoix. What I enjoyed most about this spot is how it was built around family from the initial plans, which mean there’s a place for everyone.

Finally, also in these pages you’ll find a gift guide and an article on how to wrap a gorgeous gift, just in time for the holidays.

I hope you have a merry and bright holiday season!

Holiday house

A home for the holidays

ecorating in all-out fashion has been a longstanding tradition for Jerry and Linda Nielsen.

At their former home in Big Rapids, Jerry outlined their Aframe style house in lights, and inside decorations spared no detail either.

This tradition carried over to their current home in Boyne City. The inside is something of a Santa convention, alongside other items bursting with red and green.

Most of the Santas have been collected over the years from auctions and shopping trips. But set upon the counter between the kitchen and great room is a special St. Nick.

When Linda’s mother passed away, 6

a n

u p - n o r t h

M A G A Z I N E

several mink stoles were passed on.

Linda went to an artist in the Ann Arbor area who used the stoles as a fur lining on the clothing of three custom-made Santas — one for Linda, and one for each of her siblings.

The 6,000-square-foot home was designed and built around family, and Christmas is when it all comes together. The Nielsens had owned the home and property on Lake Charlevoix since 1994, but contracted Floyd and Todd Wright Builders of Boyne City to redo the home, which was finished in 2000.

The 11 years since have brought a host of other changes, with additional work completed by James

Mattson of Mattson Construction in Petoskey and designer Jill Rowley.

But part of that original rebuild were three bedroom suites upstairs, one for each of their three daughters and their spouses. The stairs themselves are impressive, with a floating landing and a curved wooden arch under every step. Each bedroom features a large closet or nook, which held a crib. Linda said the idea was to rotate the crib room to room when a grandchild was born.

But then, four came along at the same time.

And when those four turned 1 year old, and there were four high chairs and blueberry buckle all over the kitchen, the Nielsens decided 

Home for the holidays Continued from page 6

it might be time to create a space for the growing brood. They contacted Tim Fisher of indesign in Charlevoix to help them add on in 2005, and renovate and finish the lower level; he was also the point person on the exterior work and four-season room done since that time.

What they now have downstairs is a space designed with kids in mind, featuring a finished kitchenette, bathroom, game room and the grandkids’ bedroom.

The level features easy-to-clean surfaces, and in the bedroom, a twin bed for each child, marked by a pillow with his or her name embroidered on it.

As the holiday season comes around, however, the upstairs is the place to be as everyone makes their way home for the holidays.

The kitchen offers ample room to gather, its wooden cabinets and floors adding warmth to the large room. Contrasted with the cool shine of granite countertops, the space is ideal for entertaining, especially the large island in the center of the room.

Each family gets its own tree, sprinkled throughout the main living area.

There are many more than just those three, however; a palm tree with lights even takes up residence near the heated four-season room on the main level, and that room has its own tree, too.

Joining the heights of the faux-painted dining room ceiling — whose twisted vines were painted by Boyne City artist Kris Beemsterboer — are nutcrackers.

The ledge that circles the room near the ceiling is the perfect spot for these classic Christmas decorations.

“We can actually sit 22 people around (the table). Last year was the first year we actually did,” Linda said.

While this home is a year-round residence, Christmas seems to bring out its glory — warmth from the fire, a spot for every tree and the ever-watchful eyes of Santa. HL 8

his home on Walloon Lake looks inseparable from its spot on the lake’s shore.

And that was part of the plan for Rick and Donna Gross as they built their retirement home up north,

which they moved into in the summer of 2008. “I

wanted it to feel old,” Donna noted. The pair had been vacationing on the lake since 1989; this is the third house they’ve owned in a six-lot series there on the shore. 

The butler pantry is as functional as it is decorative. Surrounding the glass display are a bank of drawers and opposite is a full-sized refrigerator.

This “rug� in a second-floor bathroom is actually tile.

HOMelife 13

Classic Continued from page 10

The “old” look is built into rustic touches on the main level as well as classic schemes throughout, even though the elements are far from everyday.

The kitchen is two in one. One side is dedicated to everyday cooking, with dishwashing and refrigerated drawers (the real refrigerator is tucked around the corner in the butler’s pantry), quick-heating oven and two-burner stove top. The other side is geared toward entertaining a crowd, with a large gas range, microwave and larger oven.

Dividing these sides — and housing some of the appliances — is a large granite island.

On the ends are two ovals of wood, with bar stools nested under one for enjoying a casual meal for two.

But when more are around, the dining room table and its shared space with the living room beckons. The pieces in the shared space — sofa, chairs, table — fit in with the rustic surfaces of wood, barn beam, brick and granite. The backdrop is an expansive view of Walloon Lake.

The barn beams come from two locales, 14

a n

u p - n o r t h

M A G A Z I N E

one in New Hampshire and the other in Northern Michigan. Growing up on the East Coast, both Rick and Donna had a soft spot for the soft wood, pine. On a trip back east, Donna was looking at Carlisle floors when the salesperson showed her barn beams.

It was love, and now they stand as ceiling beams and pillars throughout the rooms and the mantel on the fireplace. The smaller

Northern Michigan beams are used in place of molding.

While the master is on the main level, most sleeping space is upstairs. With three bedrooms, two bunk rooms and a sleeping porch, the house can sleep a crowd. Amid the light color palette, one room sticks out.

It was designed especially with their grandson in mind, with walls of natural-edge

planks made from a tree on the property set into chinking.

The sleeping porch is another favorite, especially in the summer months. Three twin beds rest under screened windows, and a settee offers lake-watchers a seat. The shingled walls and white accents lend an air of New England.

The lower level houses another bedroom, but its main focus is a rec room done in dark blue and wide white beadboard. Sofas gather around a large stone fireplace, while a wet bar is situated amid a ping pong table, doll house and basketball carnival game, and a yet-to-be purchased vintage pool table.

This level is also heating headquarters, where the residence’s solar, geothermal and forced air controls and pipes originate.

Building in these green efficiencies was another plan from the start, and one that has worked ideally for the couple.

Donna said since their home’s systems were put in, several of their friends have invested in their own.

“That’s neat, when people see it’s not impossible,” she noted. HL

A statue of Minavanana, an Ojibwa leader who took part in the development of the game of lacrosse that turn into an attack on of the British soldiers at Fort Michilimackinac, stands on the barn beam mantel. While the Grosses were on a trip to boat building school in Maine, Donna took a day to go shopping. Happening into a sculptor’s studio to discuss the wood on the porch, of all things, lead to the discovery of this bronze bust.

How-to

Wrap a gorgeous gift

By Maggie Peterson • Photography by G. Randall Goss

I

t seems that the first secret to wrapping a present is to use a box.

And with the gift-giving season at our doorstep, HomeLife turned to gift-wrappers who brave the holiday season at the Petoskey businesses of Meyer Ace Hardware downtown and Sturgeon River Pottery, garnering tips and tricks for wrapping gorgeous gifts at home.

But before divulging the details, make sure to have the following on hand: a clear workspace, a box, wrapping paper, tissue paper and/or packing material, sharp scissors, tape, ribbon and bows.

Cut before you wrap

Linda Armstrong, sales associate at Meyer Ace Hardware, said while most people understand how to cut a length of paper to fit the box, a frustrating point is making the width of the paper appropriate to the width of the box. Too much paper and the ends won’t make neat triangles; too little, and a helper piece of wrapping paper needs to cover the ends .

Her suggestion is to cut the width to size before wrapping, instead of trying to cut off the ends after having half the present wrapped. The paper should extend two-thirds to three-quarters up each side of the box; only halfway up means the folded edges won’t overlap. Sharp scissors will make the cutting smoother.

16

a n

u p - n o r t h

M A G A Z I N E

Sharp edges When wrapping a gift, Armstrong said the bottom of the box should be facing up, with the top down on the paper, so the seam is on the underside of the gift. If the paper has a ragged edge from cutting, simply fold it under to create a smooth line when folding.

Making sharp creases on the sides for each of the folds is also key to making a present look pro. If you’re having an issue with the package and paper sliding, Lisa Russell of Sturgeon River Pottery is an advocate of tape.

“I use a lot of tape because it’s easier to hold it down,” she noted.

Taping down the first fold on each side will make a sturdier wrapping experience.

the short way, and with the long end of the ribbon, circle under the box and back up to the top. Meyer said next is the trick to the process, one that eliminates the need to tape down the knot or use a finger so it doesn’t slide. Loop the long end of the ribbon underneath the ribbon intersection. This tightens the ribbon to fit the box, and then just one normal tie will secure it. Tying a bow on top completes the look.

Put a ribbon on it

Betsy Meyer with Meyer Ace said she ties ribbons around boxes the way her mother-in-law taught her years ago (facing page).

It starts with setting the box right side up. Stretch the length of ribbon across the top the long way, with a bit of excess on one side and a longer excess on the other. Lift the box while holding the ribbon across the top, wrapping the long end of it under the box and back to the top. Twist the ends 90 degrees so the ribbon is laying across the box

Sturgeon River Pottery makes it pretty.

Dressing up the presentation Russell said the gift wrapping at Sturgeon River Pottery hasn’t changed much since the shop opened 30 years ago. The brown craft paper base is dressed up 

with elements from nature, twine and ribbon.

The natural items affixed on top of the present include statice and baby’s breath, along with snips of cedar. Russell added that pine boughs, ornaments and holly would also make an attractive presentation, and personally, she has spray glittered pinecones or used craft spray paint to change the color of natural grasses to tie or glue on top.

“There’s no right or wrong way. It’s whatever’s pretty to you,” she said. “Don’t stress about it.”

Russell ties the ribbon around the package off-center, which she said allows for easier stacking — and none of the work put in to make the present pretty will be squashed under other gifts.

“The presentation is beautiful,” she added, “but it’s what you’re giving that’s the beautiful part. You don’t want to outshine your gift.”

What’s inside matters If you’re looking to cushion a fragile gift, use packing peanuts or bubble wrap. Linda Armstrong of Meyer Ace Hardware also likes to wrap what’s inside in tissue paper. To make it sit right, she does a trick taught to her long ago — put a fold in the tissue so it’s not wider than the box. To do that, she places the tissue flat on the table. With index finger on top of and thumb under the paper, rotate your hands so your fingers have switched positions. There should be a fold in the paper, which can be adjusted so the width of the tissue fits the width of the box.

Lisa Russell of Sturgeon River Pottery likes to add bits of nature to her gift presentation.

At Christmas and always, we wish to express our deep thankfulness and our warmest wishes. Have a merry, merry Christmas and a fruitful New Year!
