FROM THE EDITOR

HISTORY MATTERS CAPEHART

In 21 years of editing this magazine, I’ve had the opportunity to tour a great many of Palm Beach’s character-defining houses. In every case, I could not imagine our community without them any more than I could envision New York without the Empire State Building or Nantucket without its cedar-shingle cottages. A place and its architectural landscape are intrinsically connected.

Not only does architecture help us understand the historical evolution of a city, it tells us a lot about the people who live there.

Southwood, one of Palm Beach’s most important houses, is a perfect example. When it was built for John and Eleanor Vietor—in 1934, while the Great Depression was raging—the Monterey-style estate signaled a departure from ostentatious mansions and a move toward a restrained rhythm that felt closer to nature. It was, perhaps, the beginning of the barefoot elegance we embrace in Palm Beach to this day. That informal lifestyle suits Southwood’s newest stewards, Callie and Matt Holt, who are raising their young family in the house while preserving it for future generations. It’s heartening to see the sensitivity and thoughtfulness with which Callie and Matt have approached the project. Turn to “Preserving Tradition” on page 114 to learn more about the Holts and their legacy-in-the-making at Southwood.

Betsy and Paul Shiverick have invested in the preservation of a very different architectural gem: Major Alley. Howard Major designed these attached, smaller-scale homes to capture the essence of island living, and today they are as sought-after as oceanfront mansions. The Shivericks lucked into a three-bedroom jewel box that Betsy decorated to perfection. We take you inside One Major Alley in “A Major Moment,” on page 122.

Because local preservationists similarly restore homes in other parts of the country, we also highlight Palm Beacher Liz Lange’s summer home—none other than Grey Gardens. The Hamptons estate that will forever live in the annals of infamy has a colorful new life. Liz, who also writes our beloved Dear Liz column (page 232), embarked on a large-scale restoration that made Grey Gardens shine. Read about the house’s history and Liz’s incredible commitment to authenticity in “The Swans’ Song” on page 128.

Regardless of where you fall on the preservation conversation, I’m confident that you’ll enjoy our tours through these significant houses and the stories they tell about our history and heritage.

FEEDBACK LILA PHOTO

I love the supermarket! There are two camps around the offices of Palm Beach Illustrated: those who can’t stand the monotony of the weekly shopping trip and those who relish the discoveries to be found in each department. “Oh look, Thin Mint Oreos!” From my earliest days as a gainfully employed citizen, supermarket shopping has been a reinforcement that I had food in the fridge and my prospects were decent. Early in our courtship, sneaking a Friday night dance in the cereal aisle was a cheap date for me and Mrs. Duffy after a dinner out.

These days, a trip to Publix on the island is also a measure of how well we are doing with our audience. Taking note of the number of copies of PBI left on the newsstand each month tells me if we are hitting the mark or aiming a bit wide. Our magazines usually arrive the first Tuesday of the month. If the newsstand is down to one, or no, copies by Saturday, mission accomplished.

I get words of encouragement in the most unusual places (and not just in the dairy aisle). While sharing an elevator with a neighbor, he remarked about one of my recent missives. “Nice letter this issue. Enjoyed it. But, not nearly as good as that Cartier Tank on the back cover.” Okay, so apparently, I have some work to do. But, happy to hear that our client’s advertising message was coming through loud and clear.

And, of course, readers will take the time to write letters or send an email if something in the magazine appeals to or repels them. A message arrived this week from a reader who is new to Palm Beach. She wrote, “… not being a native from this area (my husband’s job brought us) I am always curious about what makes Palm Beach so unique. I count on the magazine’s articles, photos, and suggestions to inform me, as well as just brighten my day when I have time to sit down and enjoy it.” We love hearing from longtime readers who are willing to offer congrats on a job well done as well as the occasional course correction when they feel it is warranted.

Wednesday evenings during season you can find me at The Colony Hotel for the Living Room Series. The editor in chief and I take turns each week in conversation with Palm Beach notables and special visitors making an impact on our locale. We are grateful to The Colony for this partnership and opportunity to interact with our audience.

Thank you for the feedback. It is always appreciated. Keep those cards and letters coming!

Until the next one,

Terry Duffy tduffy@palmbeachmedia.com

McGinn Family Tradition

Inspiring the Next Generation of Coronary Bypass Surgeons The McGinn family has a longstanding legacy of dedication and innovation in the field of cardiac surgery. Joseph T. McGinn Jr., M.D., the chief of cardiac surgery at Baptist Health Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, credits his father, a Brooklyn nephrologist, for instilling in him both compassion and a drive for inventive problem-solving. Growing up, Dr. McGinn’s father showed him the importance of curiosity and hands-on learning, whether it was fixing things around the house or cultivating a love for medicine. Inspired by his father’s example, Dr. McGinn Jr. followed in his footsteps to become a cardiac surgeon.

Dr. McGinn’s son, Joseph T. McGinn III, M.D., has continued this tradition of excellence. He also became a cardiac surgeon, with a special focus on minimally invasive procedures, and now works alongside his father at Baptist Health. Together, they are advancing a groundbreaking procedure known internationally as the McGinn Technique. This minimally invasive coronary bypass surgery eliminates the need for cracking open the chest, spreading ribs and stopping the heart, resulting in less pain, reduced blood loss and a faster recovery time. The procedure has gained a global following, attracting patients from around the world and fellow physicians.

Dr. McGinn III’s journey into surgery began in childhood when he observed his father in the operating room. This experience sparked his interest in the field. As an intern, he had the opportunity to work directly with his father, which further solidified his decision to pursue a career in cardiac surgery.

Over time, he became involved in educating other surgeons on the McGinn Technique. Now, working side by side, the McGinns have developed a seamless operating dynamic, anticipating each other’s moves — like a well-rehearsed symphony.

Joseph T. McGinn Jr., M.D., and Joseph T. McGinn III, M.D. ways to improve and refine their techniques, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in cardiac surgery.

Dr. McGinn Jr. is confident that his son will continue to innovate, bringing new ideas and perspectives that will ultimately benefit their patients.

Since its development in 2005, the McGinn Technique has revolutionized coronary bypass surgery. Unlike traditional methods, which require long recovery periods, this minimally invasive approach significantly reduces recovery times. However, it requires specialized training and is only offered at a few select hospitals.

Now that Dr. McGinn III has joined Baptist Health, he performs the McGinn Technique at Boca Raton Regional Hospital and Bethesda Hospital East. Both father and son are committed to making this innovative procedure the standard of care in the future.

For more information, visit BaptistHealth.net/Heart or call 561-955-6300 to schedule an appointment in Palm Beach County.

While Dr. McGinn Jr. always hoped his son would pursue cardiac surgery, he encourages him to carve his own path. Together, they continually brainstorm PROMOTION

Webster explains. “We’ve created this elegant, colorful, and joyful world for my brand, Love From Palm Beach, that really captures the essence of our island life through storytelling and texture. Colors like Palm Beach Pink, Royal Sands, Seaglass Blue, and Key Lime capture a sunny day on South Ocean Boulevard or County Road by The Breakers or The Colony, while Brushwood Green, Argent, and Banyan celebrate the gorgeous wildlife around Jupiter.

Dreyfoos alum Aliett Buttelman’s wildest dreams came true when Taylor Swift donned glitter freckles—the signature product of Fazit, the beauty brand Buttelman co-founded—at a Kansas City Chiefs game last October.

“When my co-founder and I were developing this product, we had Taylor in mind from the very beginning,” Buttelman admits. “She was still on her Eras Tour, and we knew our Rose Gold Stardust Speckle Makeup Patches [which retail for $16] would resonate perfectly with Swifties and their concert outfits.” But Swift actually wearing them shocked Buttelman; when she posted her raw emotional reaction (captured by her fiancé) to TikTok, the video amassed more than 8 million views. Buttelman says her experience anchoring the Dreyfoos morning announcements has certainly come in handy with the numerous TV interviews since. (fazitbeauty.com)

Gaida Zirkelbach’s journey from law to corporate sustainability ended in a major payday last fall when global company Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) acquired SustainaBase, a carbon accounting platform she co-founded with her husband, Matthew, to help companies deliver carbon data and reporting to their stakeholders.

“Building SustainaBase has been an inspiring journey made even more rewarding by the support of fellow Palm Beach entrepreneurs and organizations, including 1909,” says Zirkelbach, who graduated 1909’s first accelerator program in 2019. “I’m proud of the groundbreaking innovations our team developed and eager to see how they evolve as part of ISS.” (sustainabase.com)

Plush tufted couches, bespoke plasterwork, burl wood and leather accents, brass fixtures, limewash paint, and blackened metals are complemented by a curated art collection of abstract paintings and iconic Slim Aarons photographs, elevating the space into a new echelon of luxury.

I putt my best when I slightly pull putts, which may be different than some people. Some people try to have the perfect line or roll exactly where their putter is. I find I’m more consistent when I slightly pull it. I make sure my eyes are in the same spot every time. And that helps me get the most consistent rolling and consistent start line.” —Nicholas Dunlap

soon as there’s any dirt in your grooves, the ball won’t catch at all, and it’ll just run off the face.” —Xander Schauffele On the range: “A lot of the warm-up should revolve around wedges. That’s kind of where you get your tempo, where you get your confidence that your strikes are where you want them to be. And when you make big numbers, it tends to start off the tee, so the main thing there is having a shot that you can go to. A lot of it is situational—recognizing a hole or a wind that is uncomfortable to you

Aim high. “A big mistake a lot of amateurs make is trying to lift the ball up in the air already, thinking that hitting it high is generated through this, when really it’s the more you hit down on it, the more backspin you can get. That’s what’s going to help the ball get up in the air. In a perfect world, you want it to feel almost like your hands are ahead of the ball at impact.” —Justin Thomas Clean your club. “Contacts are a really, really big deal when it comes to spin.

You can’t take it with you— unless you can! At The Colony Edit, shop everything from a Lafco New York candle scented like the Pink Paradise to jewelry

by Florentine designer Carolina Bucci to hotel merch like luxe cotton sweatshirts, beach totes, bucket hats, and more.

“As the owner of The Colony, I’ve personally selected each item in The Colony Edit, first drawing inspiration from the many personalities, styles, and design influences here in Palm Beach,” says Sarah Wetenhall. “I’ve also drawn from brands I admire, pieces I’ve encountered during my own travels, and inspiration I’ve gathered over the years. Every item is something I know our guests will love—carefully chosen to reflect the joie de vivre of both The Colony and Palm Beach, whether you’re a leisure traveler seeking a meaningful souvenir, a local resident in need of a gift for a dinner party, or a business guest in need of something practical.

The collection has been thoughtfully curated to blend the whimsy of old Palm Beach with the modern vibrancy of the area today, all while capturing the distinctive personality of The Colony.”

The team also collaborated with artisans from around the world and the local community to offer a collection of handmade merchandise. “We have trinkets from local artists like Kass O’Brien Ceramics and Christa’s South Seashells,”

NEW&NOW WORTH IT

TO CONSERVE OR TO RESTORE? A LOOK AT THIS AGE-OLD QUESTION AND THE ADDITIONAL FACTOR OF PRESERVATION

The beauty of a historic town like Palm Beach is all around us. Each verdant via offers a window into the past. The sunlit archways of pecky cypress, carved coral, and limestone bear a patina that speaks to their age and all the people who have walked beneath them. Preservation of these historic markers is a point of pride for many, and the same goes for the contents of South Florida’s historic homes. Knowing when to restore, preserve, or conserve is important in safeguarding this rich history for generations to come.

In the world of fine art, decorative arts, and antiques, the words “restoration,” “conservation,” and “preservation” have distinct meanings. Restoring an antique involves repairing or refurbishing it to its original condition, often fixing damage or wear. This may include refinishing, reupholstering, or repairing broken or missing parts. Conserving an antique

66

LF OR TU NE

BY SEBASTIAN CLARKE AND KATHERINE VAN DELL

E NI DA

or a piece of art focuses on maintaining its current state, preventing further deterioration by employing techniques that slow down aging or wear without altering its original structure. Preserving an antique goes a step further, ensuring its long-term survival by protecting it from environmental factors like humidity, light, and pests, without attempting to change its appearance or functionality.

Each of these acts is a delicate dance. When shopping for antiques, it is not unusual to come across pieces that have been “overrestored.” This occurs when someone gets carried away in fixing, updating, or cleaning a piece. While over-restored pieces might initially be more appealing—due to their kempt appearance—it’s important to look for telltale signs, such as replaced hardware, a new finish, or reinforced elements. Pro tip: ask the seller if they have a condition report on the piece. (A condition report describes the physical state of an artwork, object, or piece of furniture, noting any imperfections, repairs, or degradation.)

Conserved pieces are, by their very nature, frag-

ile objects. A seventeenth-century French or Belgian tapestry remounted to a heavy cotton backing, for example, is still a delicate object that can show fading to the colors, areas of wear, and even repaired tears. If preserved, that same tapestry might be mounted into an airtight, UV-protected plexiglass case to halt any further deterioration.

A good restorer is hard to find, and many collectors keep their resources for restoration and conservation a closely guarded secret.

For every expert conservator or restorer, there are dozens of studios claiming to be capable—likely not out of malicious intent but perhaps unbridled enthusiasm. As general good practice, treat your prized historic possessions like a beloved family pet: don’t leave them in the elements too long and don’t hand them over to any Tom, Dick, or Harry. «

Doris Kearns Goodwin will speak about her most recent memoir March 3 during the Festival of the Arts Boca.

AN INTIMATE LOOK INSIDE THE 1960S WHITE HOUSE WITH DORIS KEARNS GOODWIN

Dust off your bell-bottoms and go-go boots for a journey back in time with Pulitzer Prize–winning author and presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin in her latest memoir, An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s.. The author will visit Palm Beach County to speak about the book the evening of March 3 as part of the Festival of the Arts Boca, which runs February 28 to March 9.

In An Unfinished Love Story, Doris treats readers to an intimate account of her 42-year marriage to presidential advisor Richard “Dick” Goodwin, who helped shape one of the most transformative eras in American history. Doris also gives insight into her young adulthood working as a White House Fellow in the Johnson administration before becoming an assistant professor at Harvard. There, she met her husband-to-be, who was already a formidable figure in Washington: a political consultant and speechwriter who worked in the White House under Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, drafting landmark speeches that contributed to some of the decade’s most significant achievements, including the Civil Rights Act, Immigration Reform, and the formation of the Peace Corps, as well as the “We Shall Overcome” speech on voting rights.

The book is the fruition of Doris’ promise to catalog their lives together and her husband’s extraordinary contributions, through the lens of 300-plus boxes of documents and memorabilia that Dick had

collected: a veritable time capsule of the 1960s with photos, letters, and even a splintered police club from the 1968 Democratic National Convention. The boxes had remained largely unexplored until 2011, when Dick turned 80 and felt ready to revisit his emotional past, says Doris.

“We spent nearly every weekend over several years reliving the 1960s through these boxes that he had saved for decades and hadn’t wanted to open because the decade had ended so sadly,” recounts Doris. “But I wanted him to start this exploration since I knew that there was wonderful stuff in them. I had no idea it would be as rich as it turned out to be.”

Dick died in 2018 but not before entrusting Doris to complete what they’d started. She did just that in this heartfelt homage to Dick’s legacy that weaves personal memories with pivotal historical moments. “As I’ve been all over the country on this book tour telling one story after another, I’m so happy that it’s become a truly wonderful thing rather than something sad,” she says. (festivalboca.org, doriskearnsgoodwin.com) «

REAL TALK WITH...

Adam Lippes

The lauded women’s wear designer dishes on new collections and enduring classics

BY KATHERINE LANDE

What’s your design philosophy?

My design philosophy is always to design timeless, elegant clothing to last a woman a lifetime—with a focus on exceptional craftsmanship and the world’s finest fabrics and details.

What were your inspirations for the Spring/Summer 2025 collection?

We lead with fabrications in every collection, and Spring 2025 is no different: hand-loomed Japanese 14-ounce denim, organic striped cotton twill from one of the last cotton mills in the United States, Italian plongé leather. We contin80

ue our exploration in leather with draping and twisting, a technique throughout the collection, drawing on the feeling of freedom and escape. Bouclé yarns, seen in wovens and knits, are made from mulberry silk, which is the finest form of silk in the world. The color palette is calm—calmness in chaos. Sun-bleached tones of pale blue, lilac, faded yellow, creams, and sand. Silhouettes are meant to convey movement and comfort. The collection’s textures include embroidered, hand-cut, mother-of-pearl teardrops and Swarovski pearls, inspired by American Arts and Craft shell art of the early 1900s.

What’s one fashion piece every woman should own?

A perfectly tailored blazer. And an evening coat. I love an evening coat.

Any tips for how to curate a personalized wardrobe or home?

A focus on quality and patience.

Collect items—[for] both your wardrobe and home—over time and as you travel. I am an avid collector of antiques that I collect during my travels. I believe that clothing should last a lifetime, and your wardrobe should build upon itself throughout your life.

What do you love most about Palm Beach?

The architecture, the style, the scene, and the weather!

The Adam Lippes collection, which includes luxury women’s knitwear, dresses, and more, is now available at the brand’s recently opened boutique on Palm Beach (above).

What’s next for the brand?

A lot. We remain focused on expansion—domestically and internationally. We have category expansion planned, as well as a few exciting collaborations. It will be busy!

TURQUOISE WATERS AND LUXE AMENITIES AWAIT AT THESE OVERWATER GETAWAYS

COURTESY OF THE RITZ-CARLTON MALDIVES, FARI ISLANDS

BY PAUL RUBIO

Aerial view of The Ritz-Carlton Maldives, Fari Islands

The overwater bungalow, the epitome of exclusive travel, continues to make waves across the globe, redefining luxury in everexpanding destinations. Already synonymous with the Maldives and French Polynesia, these design-forward sanctuaries have spurred a worldwide evolution. Today, their allure extends to settings closer to home in Central America. Here, we unveil four of our favorite renditions of this ultimate escape.

THE RITZ-CARLTON MALDIVES, FARI ISLANDS Opened in June 2021 in the North Malé Atoll, The Ritz-Carlton’s inaugural Maldivian property embodies the visionary brilliance of the late Kerry Hill, the celebrated Australian architect behind some of Asia’s most iconic resorts, including numerous Aman properties. Inspired by the sun’s circular form, the resort’s design is a harmonious interplay of

geometry and nature. Its 100 round wooden villas—nestled along pristine beaches and suspended over turquoise waters—encapsulate futuristic luxury. Complementing these are the resort’s centerpiece features: a 360-degree Eau infinity pool and the overwater Circle of Life spa, a ring-shaped sanctuary devoted to rejuvenation and serenity.

The villas themselves are a study in elegance and fluidity, seamlessly integrating PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | FEBRUARY 2025

Water takes center stage, reflected in features like marble-tiled showers with relaxation benches, oversize soaking tubs, and curved infinity pools set into private sundecks. Each design element celebrates the abundance of the surrounding seascape, creating a tranquil retreat where contemporary style meets natural beauty.

NAYARA BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMA In the Bocas del Toro archipelago, the verdant jungles of Panama rise atop a mosaic of mangrovestudded islands, housing an overwater enticement just a short flight away. Say hello to Nayara Bocas del Toro, a light-footed, solar-powered, overwater eco-resort, cast across its own private island and fringed by almost 3 miles of coral reef.

Its 16 Balinese-inspired floating villas feature organic materials, Javanese canopy beds, and floor-to-ceiling windows that open to sweeping ocean views. Some villas have glass floor panels, while others boast private saltwater pools and steps that lead directly into the sea. For guests seeking a different perspective, the resort’s whimsical multistory treehouses deliver an equally enchanting experience. These adults-only accommodations, like the overwater villas, are all-inclusive and designed to immerse visitors in nature without compromising comfort.

Whether you’re inclined to lounge by the main pool or unwind at the resort’s “overwater” beach—complete with a tiki bar—Nayara Bocas del Toro promises serenity. Active travelers can enjoy snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking, while boat excursions invite exploration of nearby islands, including one that’s home to the rare pygmy three-toed sloth.

CONRAD BORA BORA NUI, FRENCH POLYNESIA Set on the palm-draped Motu To’opua just west of Bora Bora’s main island, the Conrad Bora Bora Nui delivers a refined escape defined by island charm. Its 114 villas and suites, including 86 suspended over the lagoon, come with butler service, adding an elevated touch to the resort’s vibrant bars, restaurants, and luxe amenities.

With breathtaking views at every turn, the resort is a feast for the senses. But for the ultimate in romance, the Royal Pool Villa with Otemanu View is a top choice. Flaunting ocean-chic decor, a panoramic bedroom, and a private infinity pool aligned with the setting sun, it is exactly what overwater dreams are made of.

By day, explore the thriving Technicolor coral gardens beneath the villas and suites or lounge at the resort’s main pool. The swim-up bar serves fruity cocktails perfect for sipping from one of the pool’s half-submerged seats, where the sparkling Pacific provides an unbeatable backdrop. Engage with Polynesian

culture through daily activities such as braiding coconut leaves, ukulele lessons, and mastering the art of cracking coconuts.

Evenings at Conrad Bora Bora Nui are just as magical. Start with sunset views and a mixology-forward cocktail at the overwater Upa Upa Lounge Bar followed by a sushi dinner.

L.A. LUXE IN A CITY WHERE FAME IS NO EASY FEAT, THE WEST HOLLYWOOD EDITION EMERGES AS A TRUE SUPERSTAR

BY PAUL RUBIO

At just five years old, The West Hollywood Edition may be a newer establishment along Los Angeles’ iconic Sunset Strip, but it’s already among the most famous. A shining example of Ian Schrager’s visionary next-generation hotel brand, this outpost at the crossroads of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills so perfectly encapsulates the company’s ethos: redefining traditional luxury while creating a self-contained haven of entertainment, indulgence, and culinary delight. It’s no wonder why Angelenos and world travelers alike can’t get enough.

Throughout, the 190-room, 13-story high-rise marries sleek design with inviting ambience. Its understated exterior, crafted by renowned British architect John Pawson, serves as a prelude to the bold, spirited interiors within. Guests are welcomed through a grand cedar door into a soaring lobby space, where towering Italian travertine columns

drinking; at night, it transforms into a glamorous perch where music-themed cocktails pay homage to pop icons. Standouts include the Gimme More, a refreshing mix of Belvedere Vodka, pear, ginger, and lemongrass, and the Drunk in Love, a heady concoction of Roku Gin, bergamot, basil, orgeat, and lime.

Promising tranquility amid the buzz are the Edition’s eco-chic guest rooms. Dressed in light wood furnishings and neutral tones, each room has floor-to-ceiling glass doors that open to a private terrace or French balcony. Minimalist bathrooms are outfitted with natural stone, custom Le Labo amenities, rainfall showers, and freestanding tubs in select suites.

Like the vibrant neighborhood it inhabits, The West Hollywood Edition strikes a delicate balance between cutting-edge and timeless.

In a city brimming with marquee properties, it distinguishes itself as more than just a luxury hotel. It’s a statement—a dynamic reflection of L.A.’s creative spirit, boundless glamour, and endless possibilities, firmly securing its place as an emblem of the city’s ever-evolving allure. (editionhotels.com/weho) «

and a glowing central bar set the tone. A mix of earthy and colorful furnishings prompts both relaxation and revelry, providing the idyllic backdrop for L.A.’s style-conscious crowd to mingle, sip cocktails, or simply see and be seen. At the far end, emerald drapery reveals the firelit entrance to Ardor—a florafilled restaurant serving vegetable-forward California cuisine.

From firm ground, the hotel’s magnetic energy flows into the subterranean vortex of disco ball–heavy Sunset nightclub and rises toward the heavens by way of a sprawling rooftop oasis. At the Edition’s summit, an infinityedged pool and The Roof resto-lounge deliver unbeatable views of the glittering skyline.

HONEY,

I’M HOME

THE BRAND-NEW PALM HOUSE HOTEL CAPTURES THE ESSENCE OF PALM BEACH LIVING

BY MARY MURRAY

While the architecture and aesthetics among Palm Beach’s finest homes vary, there’s one attribute they all have in common: they’re utterly enchanting. So, too, is Palm House, a luxury boutique hotel that recently opened on Royal Palm Way. Palm House is the first U.S. property in London-based L+R Hotel group’s Iconic Luxury Hotels collection. The building itself was constructed as a motor lodge in the 1960s, but with this reimagination, the new owners sought to evoke the relaxed exclusivity of a palatial Palm Beach estate. A coral facade gives way to interiors by Muza Lab, replete with unexpected shades of pink and green. There’s also an abundance of cheeky-meets-chic

98

details, like seashell wall installations by artist Christa Wilm and Murano glass chandeliers with a flirty flounce.

As in many grand homes, the entryway is designed to showcase the property’s best feature. In this case, that’s the Sunset Pool and Deck, which is nestled beyond the lounge and framed by an arched doorway. It’s the kind of cinematic hideaway reminiscent of Apple TV+’s Palm Royale. One could just envision Kristen Wiig’s Maxine Dellacorte-Simmons sipping a Grasshopper while in repose on a cabana bed.

Though some design cues recall Palm Beach circa 1969, Palm House’s overall vibe is rooted in the renaissance of today. It boasts a modernity that speaks to the island’s long-established cachet and more recent emergence as a permanent home for next-gen movers and shakers.

Just look to the hotel’s bar and restaurant, which have already become a bona fide hot spot among the local glitterati.

A beacon of luminous pink marble, the Palm Bar offers classics with a tropical twist. A must-try is the Grapefruit on the Rocks, with Nikka Coffey Gin, Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur, St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur, pink grapefruit, and lychee. And don’t leave your

barstool without sampling the to-die-for olives with confit garlic.

The bar menu is the perfect palate primer to the main event: the Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at the adjacent Palm House Dining Room. Inspired by his time working with chef Nobu Matsuhisa, executive chef de cuisine Jerry Ayala presents an array of small bites to tempt all senses. Prepare to order at least half a dozen dishes, choosing from various cold or hot options heavy in raw delicacies (hello, deconstructed crispy rice with spicy tuna) and cool surprises (we recommend the teeny but tasty taquitos with lobster or Japanese Wagyu).

If the culinary program reads “on the town,” the accommodations invite you back home.

Overlooking the pool, the Terrace Rooms will make you feel like you’re staying in your best friend’s ultra-posh guest house, complete with a private patio; opt for a ground-level Terrace Room to gain direct access to the pool deck and all the amenities available therein.

If you want to feel like part of the Palm Beach elite, book the Presidential Suite, which spans two stories and comes with dedicated butler service. Now that’s paradise personified. (palmhouse.com) «

NEXT-GEN LUXURY SUBTLE CHANGES TO ROLLS-ROYCE’S BLACK BADGE CULLINAN ONLY AUGMENT ITS DESIRABILITY

BY HOWARD WALKER

Rolls-Royce doesn’t do anything as Kardashian as facelifts. Instead, it delivers what it labels a “subtle evolution.” So, six years after the oh-so-British automaker shocked the

world with its first-ever SUV, the towering Cullinan has just received a subtle evolution.

It’s badged Cullinan Series II and it comes with exactly what owners and hand-raisers have asked for: a more expressive face, an updated dash with the latest tech, even more sumptuous materials, and additional options for bespoke customization.

The result? Exceedingly impressive.

Visually, the Cullinan spins heads more than ever. Chalk that up to the new front-end design featuring L-shaped LED daytime running lights that spear across the headlights and plunge vertically, easily differentiating this latest Cullinan from the original.

That trademark Pantheon grille is also subtly tweaked, losing its thick chrome frame and gaining elegant downlighting.

The freshening continues with a whole new lower front section, with bigger side air intakes featuring angled slats that seem to visually widen and lower this luxury leviathan.

The rear has a new bumper with enlarged exhaust openings. Pity that the vertical, pencilthin LED lighting on the front couldn’t have been incorporated back here. Maybe that’ll come with the next subtle evolution.

As before, the Cullinan comes in two flavors: standard or Black Badge. The latter still looks as edgy and slightly villainous as ever, courtesy of all that blacked-out chrome, which now includes black-finished door handles.

The other main reason for choosing a Black Badge remains what lurks beneath the hood.

The twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V12 packs 592 hp, compared to the standard version’s 563 hp. These massive outputs are unchanged for 2025, as is most of the other greasy stuff, like the self-leveling air suspension, 8-speed automatic, and rear-wheel steering. The adage of “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” applies here.

A squeeze of the accelerator is all that’s needed to slingshot this 6,000-pound cruise ship forward like a rock exiting a catapult. As before, standstill-to-60-mph sprints take less than 5 seconds, and the thrust is akin to a Gulfstream G550 on takeoff.

A press of the start button brings to life the big V12, though it feels more like you’re energizing the electric powertrain of the new Spectre. All you hear is spooky silence, with maybe the gentlest “whoosh” as those 12 cylinders breathe deeply.

Take a look at the refreshed cabin. There’s a new glass dashboard featuring instrumentation and more intuitive software from the electric Spectre. I love the new clock with a mini Spirit of Ecstasy set behind a teeny glass panel (just in case you forgot what you’re driving).

As always, there are a multitude of options for interior materials and colors. One new offering is the funky Duality Twill fabric made from bamboo fibers and using more than 2.2 million stitches and 11 miles of thread to create an abstract interpretation of the interlocking RR logo. Sorry, I’m not a fan; give me buttery Rolls-Royce perforated leather any day. But as before, the Cullinan’s cabin is a sanctuary of luxury and hush, with the usual exquisite attention to detail, quality, and craftsmanship.

like it’s running on invisible rails, and rides like it’s floating on clouds.

Conversations about pricing start at around $450,000 for a standard 2025 Cullinan II and $500,000 for the Black Badge, though a visit with a Rolls-Royce bespoke specialist could easily take any sticker well past $600,000. But it’s a small price to pay to drive what is still the most exquisite SUV on the planet. «

SPACE SHIP SAXDOR’S VERSATILE NEW 400 GTC FAMILY EXPRESS IS A TRUE SWISS ARMY KNIFE FOR THE WATER

BY HOWARD WALKER

I love the quirky expression “knock your socks off.” It loosely describes that euphoric feeling of being totally impressed. Perhaps, as in: “That Gin-Gin Mule at Bemelmans Bar in Manhattan will really knock your socks off.”

At last year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show there was an abundance of new nautical offerings to knock any socks into touch. But after walking the miles of aisles, I encountered just one newcomer that had

my jaw bouncing off the dock and my socks forcibly removed.

The all-new flagship 400 GTC from Finnish builder Saxdor might be one of the coolest boats on the planet. With its head-spinning lines, versatile layout, and inside-outside design, it is a true Swiss Army knife for the water.

Saxdor has been building boats in Finland and Poland since 2019 and currently boasts a five-model lineup ranging from a 27-foot center console to this sleek 40-footer. What makes this new 400 GTC Saxdor so unique is that with it, Saxdor has perfected the template for the ultimate family weekender, crème de la crème sunset cocktail cruiser, and unrivaled run-it-up-on-the-sandbar adventure playground. No wonder it was recently judged as “Best for Fun” in Europe’s 2024 Best of Boats Awards.

To be sure, the entire boat is designed for family fun. Drop the hook off a sandy beach, press a button, and two huge side terraces power down to create dive boards.

But it’s the design of that glass-ringed hardtop that is so inspired. At the back, glass doors concertina open and a large glass panel rises into the roof to completely open the salon to the cockpit. Now slide open the floor-to-ceiling side doors for a total alfresco feel. There’s also a sliding glass panel above the helm. As for sunning spots, the cockpit boasts a Texas-size sun pad with tilt-up backrests for watching the world go by.

The duality here is that what can be opened can also be closed. So, if the Florida humidity gets too toasty, close all the glass, crank up the AC, and the salon becomes a capsule of cool. An oversize lithium-ion battery bank

Okay, it’s a big square box with a few mattress cushions. But it has windows on three sides and a lifting hatch beneath the salon rear sofa to give easy access. For grown-ups, there’s a forward cabin with a double bed, together with a wet head and shower.

Yes, it’s pretty compact, but Saxdor believes that few owners will actually spend the night aboard.

The final fun space is up on the bow. Accessible through a split folding glass section of the windshield is a U-shaped sofa with a drop-in table for those sunset cocktails. And during a day at anchor, there’s the option of a clip-in Bimini top for shade.

Powering this new 400 GTC is a choice of either a pair of 350or 400-hp Mercury Verado V10s. With the 400s, expect a thrillride top speed of around 45 knots. Standard joystick control plus great visibility from the helm should make docking a breeze.

Pricing kicks off at around $411,000 with the 350s. The 400-hp version starts at $427,450. Of course, there is also an options list as long as War and Peace to help you equip the boat just the way you want.

Saxdor sees this new 400 GTC really appealing to Florida boaters. To help with that goal, the company has set up its new U.S. headquarters and quick-delivery parts warehouse in Fort Lauderdale. I predict that the new parts center will be keeping a good supply of socks in stock, to replace all those knocked off by buyers seeing this new Saxdor for the first time. «

Preserving

TRADITION Two young Palm Beachers spearhead the renovation of Southwood, ensuring that this gem by architect Marion Sims Wyeth will enchant for generations to come

BY STEPHANIE GATES PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

On a quiet lane in Palm Beach, a pair of inauspicious white iron gates guards Southwood, one of the island’s most storied properties. Overgrown jungle and an old banyan tree beguile the imagination of curious passersby as to the tales this aging grand dame could tell.

Among those passersby, four years ago, were Callie Baker and her fiancé, Matt Holt.

On a drive around the island, the couple stopped and peered through Southwood’s iron gates. Callie saw something familiar: white flower baskets hanging from the banyan tree in the center of the motor court.

She’d seen them somewhere before: the home of her aunt, Pauline Pitt.

It wasn’t a coincidence. The owner of the property was Beatrice “Bea” Tollman, the South African founder of hospitality giant Red Carnation Hotel Collection, which at the time included The Chesterfield in Palm Beach (now The Vineta Hotel). Tollman and Pitt were good friends and admired each other’s design sense. The flower baskets that evoked Callie’s memories were inspired by a similar vignette at Pitt’s house.

Tollman had purchased the estate in 1987 but had let it remain uninhabited for the last 15 years. In 2021, the year Tollman’s husband, Stanley, died, she sold Southwood.

The buyer? Matt Holt, who bought it as the forever home for their future family.

A few weeks after moving in, the couple held their wedding on the Southwood lawn 114

“I grew up in Palm Beach.

I want to protect everything that makes the place magical.” − Callie Baker Holt

Callie (pictured above in a dress by Sophie et Voilà) and Matt worked with Kristin Kellogg of Smith Kellogg Architecture and Elizabeth Graziolo of Yellow House Architects on the estate’s renovations. The Holts made efforts to preserve as much as possible, including the original hardware and many of the original floors, such as the cork and marble floor in the gallery (opposite page).

overlooking the Intracoastal. Never mind that they didn’t have any furniture yet and had been sleeping on mattresses on the floor. “It was our way of breaking in the house,” Callie says.

Almost immediately after, the Holts took a serious look at the house and its needs. There was no question that a major renovation was in order. They had to choose between rebuilding the tired parts with a newer, more modern aesthetic or taking the costlier, far more difficult route of preserving Southwood’s original charm and the intent of its architect, Marion Sims Wyeth.

Not surprisingly, they chose the latter. Callie, 39, is a

fifth-generation Palm Beacher with deep roots in the island and an appreciation of its history and tradition. Her father, the late Anthony K. Baker, was a historian, preservationist, and architect. “He taught me everything I know about Palm Beach’s history and architecture,” says Callie.

“Marion Sims Wyeth was his favorite of the ‘fabulous five’ architects. I grew up in another U-shaped Wyeth masterpiece a few blocks away, on Clarendon Avenue.”

Matt, a 48-year-old New Yorker, may be new to Palm Beach but also has been raised with a preservation mindset. The Holts are now the youngest members of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach’s board of trustees.

“It’s really inspiring that a couple as young as Callie and Matt were willing to take on a project like this and to allocate the resources required to properly honor the home and the architect who designed it,” says Amanda Skier, the former president and CEO of the Preservation Foundation (now CEO of the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum).

“To see someone who grew up here reinvest in the community by protecting our heritage is exciting. People like them are key to the future of the island.”

While many of their contemporaries gravitate toward grand new-builds and renovations, Callie and Matt respect the patina granted by time’s passage. “I think people get the wrong idea and come here wanting to look like they have it all,” says Callie. “True locals are very different. Preserving tradition is in my blood. I grew up in Palm Beach. I want to protect everything that makes the place magical.”

That includes Southwood. Built in 1934 for Jell-O heiress Eleanor Woodward Vietor and her husband, John, for $125,000, the 15,241-square-foot home was built in a U shape to take advantage of the property’s proximity to and view of Lake Worth. The design prioritized indooroutdoor living in homage to the island’s resort vibe.

“Southwood is one of the most significant properties on Palm Beach,” says Kristin Kellogg of Smith Kellogg Architecture, the architect of record since Tollman began the estate’s restoration in 2018. “It represents this moment in time for this wealthy family who was building this estate but were trying to do it in a way that was not ostentatious. When you think of the architecture of Addison Mizner, there is a flashiness and whimsy and fun, but those years were very difficult times for Americans. When the Vietors were designing their home, they used an architectural language that practiced restraint and spoke to what was happening in America at that time. The home represents a shift to a more austere architecture than the flamboyance that came before it.”

In a move toward restrained luxury, Wyeth bucked convention and married various design elements to create Southwood. His cantilevered balconies reveal a predominant Monterey style, while filigree cast iron railings are a nod to French Creole influence. Kellogg also points out the home’s classical, almost colonial, elements such as detailed paneling and a bay window. It was important to the Holts to preserve this heritage, inside and out.

With the help of original architectural drawings from the Preservation Foundation’s archives, the couple worked closely with Kellogg and her team to restore the original electrical systems, phone lines, and sewer and water lines. The fenestration replacement was a complicated endeavor. Except for the original front door, all windows and doors were replaced.

For the interior renovations, the Holts enlisted Elizabeth Graziolo, founder and principal of New York–based Yellow House Architects, who had previously worked with the couple on their New York City townhouse. Matt had originally tapped Graziolo to advise on the library renovations, but the project snowballed to include a phase-by-phase reimagination of all the interiors.

“I remember visiting the home for the first time, and I was floored by how beautifully it was done,” says Graziolo. “It’s great because this house was very well documented, and studying Wyeth’s architecture helped me develop the language that works best for this type of project. For example, every molding we’ve designed in the interiors is a play on the existing architectural details that were in the house already.”

For preservation and restoration, architects prioritize public rooms and facades, especially the front elevation.

Functional areas like the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room can be changed to better meet the owner’s needs and make the house more suitable for modern living.

Case in point: Southwood had 14 staff rooms that have since been converted into guest suites and a spa with a steam shower that is now a playroom for their 9-monthold son, Georgie. The original owners’ curious “penguin room” is becoming Callie’s closet.

The Holts’ attention to detail has been extraordinary, down to the preservation of original hardware that was removed, catalogued, and shipped to Wilmette Hardware in Illinois for accurate restoration. Many of the original floors, including an intricate cork and marble masterpiece in the gallery, have been preserved, as have the majority of the marble fireplaces.

When something couldn’t be saved, the couple chose a close alternative. In the library, for example, the original wood paneling was Florida pine, but the current scarcity of the wood has forced a reimagining: the room is now paneled in pecky cypress, a material found in many Palm Beach estates. To add to the warm, cozy feel of the room, the ceiling is clad in William Morris wall-

paper to mimic the inside cover of an old book. A long table belonging to Charles Munn (the founder of The Coconuts and Callie’s great-great-grandfather) holds stacks of art books and literary tomes. On the other side of the room, an antique desk with Opposite page: Makeup: Emily an inlaid leather top displays a book that chronicles the home’s Morrison, Julien history. Together with the Preservation Foundation’s architectural Farel Salon, Palm Beach collection of Wyeth’s work and documentation of the home, the Hair: Jo Hernandez, Julien Farel Salon, book has guided the Holts’ renovation of Southwood.

Palm Beach In terms of interior design, the Holts and Graziolo collaboTop and skirt: Julia Amory, Palm Beach rated with Celerie Kemble and Liza Morten Gioia of Kemble Interiors. While they had some big shoes to fill walking in the

footsteps of the home’s original decorator, American pioneer female decorator Ruby Ross Wood, they allowed the house’s DNA to shine through while creating a space that is authentic, respectful, and playful for the young family.

“The entire house is about the light and the breeze.

It’s an incredible window out to the lake,” says Gioia.

“It was built to allow the people living there to be outdoors while they are indoors. Matt and Callie are the perfect stewards because their process is growing up with the house, raising their child there, and letting the house be a part of that instead of reconfiguring it to fit the mode of the moment.”

Walking a guest through the house, Callie reveals some of her favorite details while Plympton, the family’s Rhodesian ridgeback, roughhouses with Prudence, their long-haired dachshund. Callie roams barefoot from indoors to out, pointing out the home’s restored green roof, the wooden lattice work covering the entirety of the living room walls, the pool house cabanas modeled after tea houses in Charleston, and the outdoor loggia where she and Matt play backgammon when rainstorms roll in.

Another beloved room is the “pub,” which has been reimagined in the spirit of London’s Chiltern Firehouse bar, one of Matt’s favorites and a spot that Graziolo traveled to for inspiration. A look around reveals Paris Review posters, a nod to Matt’s role as board president of the venerable literary journal.

The lakeside lawn, where Callie and Matt were married, serves as a venue for parties and a picnic spot for the family on spring afternoons. Between the lawn and adjacent to the tennis court, an informal garden they planted with avocados, bananas, mangos, and figs thrives. To add to the charmingly imperfect look, they removed the Tollmans’ balustrades and replaced them with Wyeth’s original picket fencing.

On the way out, Callie points to a favorite painting by Orville Bulman that is hanging in the foyer. Titled Les Nouveaux Familles, it depicts a mother and father lion with their two cubs. One can’t help but liken the image to a portrait of this young family growing and writing their story in Palm Beach. At the center of that story is Southwood.

“I love hearing the water from the pool fountain and looking at the banyan tree by the fishpond,” says Callie. “The sunsets here are amazing. There is this tiny island that we look out on, and there is this bush that looks like a cartoon character. It reminds me of something my dad would have loved to draw. I love our balcony. I don’t even want to leave my home.” «

A MAJOR MOMENT

BETSY SHIVERICK’S THOUGHTFUL REIMAGINATION OF HER HOME WITHIN PALM BEACH’S ICONIC MAJOR ALLEY HONORS THE ORIGINAL VISION OF ARCHITECT HOWARD MAJOR

BY KELLEY MARCELLUS | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JERRY RABINOWITZ

F

lipping through the mail, something catches Betsy Shiverick’s eye. There are familiar white walls and tiled roofs, plus a distinct Caribbean appeal. Shutters hang askew, speaking to a century of Florida sun and sea breezes, while hidden courtyards provide homeowners space to entertain and escape within this compact complex.

Doorways, balconies, and flower boxes imbue individual identity and an outpouring of charm that’s hard to ignore.

“I’m going through this catalog, and it all looks so familiar,” Shiverick says, noting that there was no denying where the photos were taken. “The models are posing and showing clothes, and I think to myself, ‘That’s right outside the kitchen door.’”

122

Shiverick and her husband, Paul, own one of the six residences that comprise Major Alley, a complex of attached, Bermuda-inspired homes on Peruvian Avenue in Palm Beach that was designed and built by architect Howard Major in 1925 on a lot that measures 100 feet wide by 120 feet deep. Other architects of that time were building sprawling single-family homes on parcels that size, but Major had no affection for that approach.

“He did not understand why Palm Beach was going down this Spanish architecture road,” says Shiverick, an interior designer and chairman of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach’s board of trustees.

“He just felt that [the popular Spanish Revival] style wasn’t part of the

While Major Alley homeowners cannot alter the exterior paint, Betsy Shiverick installed a jasmine espalier near the front door (opposite page). In the living room, painted cypress cabinetry provides ample storage, while the furniture and decor lend an exotic feel, as if collected during travels over time.

I’M DRAWN TO PROJECTS THAT HAVE OLD MATERIAL. WHEN I FIND SOMETHING THAT’S IN GOOD SHAPE AND IT’S OLD, I JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR JOY.”

Shiverick retained the original glazed brick herringbone floors in the foyer (left) and terracotta floor tiles in the living room (above). She painted many of the walls throughout the home in the color Chic Lime by Benjamin Moore (below).

American style. Why would you look to Europe on this tropical island when you could have more breezy things?”

Instead, Major looked to the Caribbean, taking cues and elements from the British Colonial style, such as balconies designed to catch trade winds, large windows to give brightness to airy interiors, and doors that open to combine interior and exterior spaces.

His approach didn’t fit with the conventional wisdom at the time—when opulence and ornamentation reigned supreme. As a result, he never reached the ranks of his contemporary “society” architects, including Addison Mizner, John Volk, Marion Sims Wyeth, and Maurice Fatio. In fact, Major felt shut out. Shiverick says he tried to earn a place on the town’s Architectural Jury—the assembly of experts who directed the aesthetic of building designs, similar to today’s Architectural Committee. He eventually was admitted, “but I think he threatened to sue,” Shiverick notes.

Shiverick says she always admired the compound and when news that one of the Major Alley’s homes was being prepared for sale, she knew she and her husband had to act.

“They don’t come on the market very often,” she says, noting that it felt like “it was fate that gave us this great little cottage.”

Once it was theirs, Shiverick set about making the 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bathroom home her own, but realized that “it really didn’t need much because we really loved the way it looked,” she says. “We loved the old bathroom fixtures. We loved the floors. We

124 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

000_BETSY_0225.indd 124

12/30/24 10:00 AM

loved the painted cypress. The place really packs a punch with the courtyard and nice, big entertaining space in the living room with very high ceilings.”

Shiverick launched her interior design practice, Betsy Shiverick Interiors, in 2003 after she stepped away from a 21-year career as a currency trader on Wall Street. As a designer, she embraces the old, noting that 90 percent of the furnishings she places are antiques or vintage items.

“I’ll even search for older sofas because I think they were better built,” she says, explaining that heavier pieces with features like down cushions speak to a quality that’s harder to come by today. “Like the houses, I think the furniture was better built and has more substance.”

In the Major Alley home, which has been rented since its six-month renovation was completed in Spring 2023 (the Shivericks themselves live elsewhere on the island), modernization happened within the unseen parts of the home. Shiverick partnered with architect Richard Sammons of Fairfax & Sammons. Tim Givens of Tim Givens Building and Remodeling executed the plans.

The most significant changes were in the kitchen. The layout was altered “to make it a little more user-friendly,” Shiverick says. Classic checkerboard floors were added, as was a cypress-topped peninsula and a sort of ante room that acts as a butler’s pantry with storage and a place for the washer and dryer. The kitchen also boasts a Dutch door that opens to the alley and a new “mouse hole” door that leads to the living room and improves the flow throughout both spaces.

Shiverick says these changes make the house more suit-

able for modern living, but she’s reticent to design with a heavy hand. “A lot of people would want to come into an old place like this and rip the old out,” she says. “I’m drawn to projects that have old material. When I find something that’s in good shape and it’s old, I jump up and down for joy because we can just clean it up and make sure it’s functional. I think [the old] looks better, and it’s time proven.”

Case in point: the home’s original American Standard bathroom fixtures. Though she made additions and upgrades—such as marble tile, Sister Parish wallpaper, and a new shower in the primary bedroom’s bath—the original toilets and sinks were preserved.

Also original is most of the flooring in the home. The living room’s original terra-cotta tiles are overlaid with natural

Auction and antique finds abound. The space pictured above includes a dresser, floral art, and a chair all purchased at auction.

The foyer (above left) features a sideboard that Shiverick found at an antique shop in North Carolina.

[MAJOR ALLEY] IS REALLY A TESTAMENT TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF BERMUDA AND TO TROPICÁLIA. IT JUST INVITES YOU IN.” fiber and zebra-skin rugs. The room’s walls are painted Chic Lime by Benjamin Moore because “Howard Major wanted things to look tropical and Caribbean,” says Shiverick.

When she discovered a large painting of patterned vessels, she was inspired to find upholstery for the sofas to complement it. The black used on the art’s frame, the lampshades, and the Asian-inspired chair upholstery was a purposeful choice. “I like to use red and black in a room no matter what the color scheme because it brings energy to the space,” Shiverick says. She believes that the juxtaposition of patterns and textures “is a really interesting tradition of reflecting your travels— where you’ve been and what you liked from other places,” she adds.

“Finding things that seem exotic and bringing them back to fit into your home helps you remember where you were.”

The home’s three bedrooms were carefully placed to give each occupant the feeling of privacy. Each is in proximity to the walled courtyard, tucked into different quadrants of the home and styled in unique but related ways, with art, natural-textured rugs, and antiques.

The primary bedroom occupies the home’s entire second floor. Shiverick restored the glass-paneled pocket doors so that the room can benefit from the cross ventilation offered by the louvered windows 126

that line an adjacent sitting space and a narrow balcony.

“It’s a miniaturized balcony that’s so charming—like something right out of the Caribbean,” Shiverick says. “To me, it’s an example of what Howard Major was trying to do with Major Alley. He was trying to bring real tropical architecture to Palm Beach.”

Each of the six residences in the development is distinctive. Shiverick’s is the largest, and seeing her neighbors’ homes has revealed some of the secrets her property holds.

For example, though her living room ceiling is high, she knows it was closed in at some point as a neighbor’s ceiling is even higher. Shiverick didn’t feel the additional space was necessary and decided to leave the ceiling untouched.

Similarly, other homes have courtyard doorways that open to the parking area, but hers only had a window. That was something she pursued during the renovations, seeking approval from the Landmarks Commission. “It was a

little strange not to have [access],” she says. “We mimicked the front door with its fantail arch. It’s really pretty.”

One thing all six properties share is privacy. “Major Alley is a great example of how you can use density,” Shiverick says.

“You don’t have to pile things up to the sky; you can design something that spreads out and gives each unit a sense of privacy. It’s a great example of multifamily living.”

Over the last century, Major Alley has also become an

icon in the Town of Palm Beach; there’s a reason fashion catalogs, tourists, and social media influencers snap photos here. “It’s a very inviting compound,” Shiverick says. “I think [Howard Major’s] greatest achievement was Major Alley. It’s really a testament to the architecture of Bermuda and to Tropicália. It just invites you in.”

And Shiverick’s work—beyond restoring, decorating, and maintaining this property—is to help her friends and neighbors on the island see the value in hanging on to treasures from the past.

“That’s what the Preservation Foundation is all about,” she says. “In order to do that, people need to take on these projects, put money into them, and respect what was there and have them function. That’s music to our ears at the Preservation Foundation.” «

Above, from left: This bedroom boasts wallpaper from Clarence House; the walled courtyard’s tile work, wall fountain, and landscaping (by Nievera Williams) are all new.

Opposite page: For the primary bedroom, Shiverick sourced a rosewood bed from India. She found the portrait above the bed and the highboy dresser in antique shops in Rhode Island and West Palm Beach, respectively.

ew Yorker Liz Lange spends the winter in Palm Beach, but her shingle-style summer cottage in East Hampton is by far her most famous residence. In 2017, she and her husband, David, bought the notorious Grey Gardens estate and spearheaded its second major restoration, with help from landscape expert Deborah Nevins, designer Mark Sikes, and Lange’s longtime best friend, Jonathan Adler.

The circa-1897/1901 mansion—planned by F. Stanhope Phillips but completed by his widow,

Margaret Bagg Phillips—was the subject of a 1975 documentary by Albert and David Maysles. The cinema verité masterpiece became a worldwide sensation, later inspiring a Broadway musical and an Emmy-winning HBO homage starring Jessica Lange and Drew Barrymore. During its mid-century years of infamy, the house was occupied by Edith Ewing Bouvier Beale (“Big Edie”) and her namesake daughter, “Little Edie,” aunt and cousin, respectively, of Jackie Kennedy Onassis and her PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | FEBRUARY 2025

sister, Lee Radziwill. The Beales, members of East Hampton’s ultraexclusive Maidstone Club, bought the home in 1923. However, Big Edie’s attorney husband, Phelan, divorced his flamboyant wife in 1946, deeding over the beloved house but granting no alimony. Little Edie soon gave up her own theatrical pursuits and moved home to help her mother. With almost no financial means, the two women became increasingly reclusive as the mansion literally rotted around them, filling with trash and barely escaping condemnation.

After her mother’s death in 1977, Little Edie moved back to Manhattan, refusing to sell the house to any-

one who would tear it down. Writer Sally Quinn and her husband, Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee, visited the property two years later. According to reports, the home was in such derelict condition that the real estate agent refused to enter, and Bradlee—who was allergic to cats— began to choke. But Quinn saw past the raccoon skulls and dozens of dead cats to the home’s original glamour. The Bradlees—whom Little Edie surely recognized as “staunch characters”—bought the house for $220,000 and began what Lange calls a “heroic” restoration.

Lange grew up spending weekends and summers nearby at her family’s

130 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

contemporary-style house designed by renowned architect Charles Gwathmey (known for his renovation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim Museum). As a kid riding her bike around the neighborhood, she didn’t pay much attention to the spooky mansion obscured by overgrown vines on West End Road. As an adult, she learned of its notoriety but never joined the legions of fans taking selfies from the street or gossiping in Facebook groups. “I did not have that level of obsession,” she says.

However, as a fashion designer known for revolutionizing maternity wear with her eponymous clothing line and now as CEO of the women’s fashion and lifestyle brand Figue, Lange recognizes style when she sees it. She admired the home’s authenticity, particularly as more and more original East Hampton homes were being demolished, and she jumped at the opportunity when it came on the market.

“I like houses that are what they are meant to be,” she says. “I think the history is amazing, and I feel very lucky to be a part of it. But, really, we

bought it for the land, the location, and the house.”

Having grown up in a modern house, Lange doesn’t take period details for granted and launched a rigorous restoration. She replaced all the windows with restoration glass, which is thinner, a bit wavy, and truer to what would have been used at the turn of the century. Likewise, she installed smaller diamond panes that would have matched the lattice windows’ original scale. Studying the documentary frame by frame, she noted and replicated details, like the streamlined curves where the front porch columns meet the roofline.

She also replaced shutters and restored the original front door.

The new owners’ dedication to authenticity also led them to leave some features deliberately imperfect. For example, an upstairs landing remains a bit uneven. “The floor is a tiny bit creaky on purpose,” says Lange, who wanted to make sure Grey Gardens still “felt like an old house.”

Nowhere is this attention to detail more obvious than in the iconic foyer—where Little Edie performed

Blue leopard wallpaper extends from the foyer to the second-floor landing, where matching bookshelves display busts of Big Edie (left) and Little Edie (right) by Mark Gagnon. The foyer also includes a leopard chest by Piero Fornasetti and a portrait of Little Edie by Helen Downing.

her famous flag-waving dance in the documentary. Lange removed, restored, and reinstalled all the woodwork and stair parts, keeping everything true to its original scale. “I was extremely mindful of not ruining it,” she notes. “I wanted [to restore] the house so that it would’ve been familiar if Big Edie and Little Edie walked in.”

However, if the bones remained true, the furnishings are entirely Lange’s own invention. “I wasn’t looking for the house to look like a museum,” she says. “I wanted the architecture to reflect [the times], but I wanted the decor to be brighter, happier, cleaner— more fun. I’m not into dusty chintzes.”

Again, the foyer sets the tone. The original wood floors are now faux-painted like black-and-white tile, and blue leopard

wallpaper flows to the second-floor landing. A curved chest with a jungle and leopard motif, designed in the 1950s by Piero Fornasetti, adds mid-century swagger, as do accessories like a white porthole mirror and a chinoiserie monkey and pagoda.

Lange is an inveterate collector, and many rooms feature groupings such as Murano glass, handmade pottery, seashells, and quirky objects sourced everywhere from Florida’s Dixie Highway to Les Puces de Saint-Ouen in Paris.

Artistic homages to Big Edie and Little Edie appear throughout the house, too. On the second-floor landing, bookshelves are topped with papier-mâché busts of mother and daughter by Mark Gagnon. The ladies are flanked by a series of classical-themed drawings with winks to the home’s famous occupants by Luke Edward Hall. Lange even commissioned a custom wallpaper with drawings of the Beales for a guest bedroom closet. Most dramatic of all is an installation in the garden’s original thatched hut: Adler drew a flamboyant mural of the

The front porch is one of the few spaces that appeared in many scenes of the 1975 documentary. Lange studied the film closely to duplicate details like the shape of the columns and the size of the windowpanes.

Lange added the vintage fountain in the walled garden (left). She also planted more flowers and a kitchen garden, resurfaced the hard tennis court, replaced the pool, and built an open-air cabana (above) that serves both the tennis court and the pool. Inside, the ceiling is faux-painted with stripes to look like a circus tent. The treillage was done by Accents of France.

women’s eyes, rendered in Portuguese tile and paired with brass stools shaped like tongues. “It’s a little scary but fun and surreal,” Lange says with a laugh.

The entire project took three years, partly due to COVID, and involved major structural changes.

Lange had the entire house lifted on stilts and built a daylight basement that includes a gym, screening room, laundry room, wine cellar, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms.

She also added new bathrooms in the attic, where hand-painted murals by Bob Christian bring whimsy to the narrow hallways, which lead to cozy guest rooms tucked under the eaves. The electrical systems were completely replaced, and the entire home was outfitted with new period-style hardware.

Outdoors, Lange restored the famous walled gardens, originally commissioned by noted horticulturist Anna Gilman Hill, who, with her husband, Robert, owned the estate between the Phillipses and the Beales. Hill imported concrete walls from Spain to protect her beds of roses, phlox, and delphinium from ocean breezes. She also gave the estate its name, Grey Gardens, inspired by the soft colors of the flowers, walls, and salty mist.

Part of the walled garden’s magic is that it can only be viewed from inside its gates or from the house.

The property’s tiled sunroom was already glassed in, but Lange redid the diamond panes in their original smaller size and re-created the oversize French doors so that the room could appear to have only

three walls when those doors are open. A fireplace adds a cozy touch on cool evenings.

Lange planted more flower gardens and a kitchen garden, resurfaced a hard tennis court with grass, replaced a rectangular pool with a round one (inspired by the Woodland estate in Hollywood), and added an open-air cabana wrapped in French treillage. Many of the home’s indoor spaces are various shades of blue, but Lange used a particular cyan she calls “Grey Gardens Blue” for all gates, benches, and doors on the grounds.

Visitors often ask Lange if she sees ghosts, but she insists she’s not superstitious. “Sally had told me the lights flicker, and she

thought that was Big Edie and Little Edie,” she says. “But once we completely redid the electrical [system], those lights don’t flicker anymore.”

She does acknowledge it’s an honor to be among the lineup of determined women who have been stewards of this home: Margaret Phillips, who actually completed the house after her husband’s untimely death; Anna Gilman Hill; the Edies; and Sally Quinn—not to mention Jackie Kennedy and Lee Radziwill, who financed major repairs that helped the home escape condemnation in the 1970s. “I do feel the presence of women prior to me,” Lange says, “and I feel their sense of history about the house.” «

OPENINGS

A TASTE of ISRAEL One of West Palm Beach’s newest restaurants is as much a feast for the eyes as it is for the taste buds. In December, Malka opened in the industrial-style space formerly occupied by The Butcher Shop. However, all evidence of that eatery is gone. Instead, Israeli chef Eyal Shani and his restaurant group worked with Kimmel Eshkolot Architects to create a high-design restaurant at once rich in Israeli materials and perfect for the kind of posh alfresco dining experience patrons have come to expect of the area’s best eateries.

“We wanted to find a way to bridge the two, Tel Aviv and Palm Beach,” says lead architect More Gelfand.

They’ve achieved just that across the seamlessly integrated interior and exterior spaces, including a dreamy breezeway through which all guests enter, a lush outdoor garden with its own bar, and a sleek main dining room. Though each area is unique, there are

certain commonalities. The most distinct is the 24,000 perforated Ackerstein concrete bricks that together form mashrabiyas—traditional breeze walls that encourage the natural flow of light and air.

Shani’s food is equally compelling. The restaurant adheres to kosher dietary laws, and the menu reflects the composition of the kitchen, which includes a custom wood-burning grill. Shani approaches his ingredients with the highest reverence, aim-

ing to craft dishes in which “each part of the creation is reflected in the creation in its own way,” he says.

And while those creations are ever-evolving, standard standouts include a signature schnitzel that has become famous at Malka’s other locations in New York and Tel Aviv, and hummus so good that it’s described on the menu as: “A very Israeli hummus so close to perfection. Unlike any other.” (malka-usa. com/westpalmbeach) —Mary Murray

BY MARY MURRAY

Despite the slight chill in the air, the dining patio at Waxin’s in Palm Beach Gardens feels worlds away from Sweden. But that is where I find Melvin Glimstal, the Swedish-born chef who has recently taken up residence at this Swedish restaurant following a run as sous chef at Michelin-starred Operakällaren in Stockholm. He dons a baseball cap emblazoned with the word “smör,” which I will come to learn means “butter,” an ingredient so dear to his heart, he got a tattoo of it.

The brainchild of restaurateur and native Swede Patrik Waxin, Waxin’s debuted in North County in 2020. At the time, the menu was dotted with approachable Swedish fare and Swedish-inspired takes on

Chef Melvin Glimstal’s contributions to the Waxin’s menu include a beetroot tartare (above) and poached salmon with Sandefjord sauce (below).

American and global delicacies. Upon his arrival in October, Glimstal was tasked with revamping the restaurant’s offerings, working alongside the established team to develop new dishes and refine existing ones. Certain favorites remain—such as the terrific Swedish meatballs with the requisite pickled veg and lingonberries—but Glimstal has wasted no time in flexing his creative muscles.

He comes by his culinary creativity honestly.

His father was a chef, and he fondly recalls cooking alongside him starting at a young age.

Although his parents discouraged him from pursuing it professionally, Glimstal couldn’t resist the call of the kitchen. He made up his mind after an internship at age 14.

“It took me an hour, tops,” he says of the decision. “I walked into the kitchen, and I immediately got 10 new older brothers. It’s heat, it’s cursing. Everything is fast.”

Glimstal committed to the restaurant life full steam ahead. He’s also cooked competitively, serving as captain of the Swedish Junior Culinary Team and leading them to

victory in the 2024 IKA Culinary Olympics.

But despite any implied bravado, Glimstal is more demure in his cooking—preferring instead to let his ingredients do the talking. “I don’t want ‘me’ to overrun the dish,” he says.

One dish that exemplifies this ethos is the beetroot tartare. Glimstal first roasts the beets and then feeds them through a meat grinder to achieve a tartare’s ultra-fine dice and texture. It’s finished with a raspberry dressing, goat cheese, chives, and walnuts. Other new highlights include the poached salmon with a classic Norwegian butter sauce known as Sandefjord, and Cod the Swedish Way presented with an outstanding pea puree laced with just a hint of Tabasco. Dill—another of Glimstal’s favorite ingredients—plays a role in the cod and makes a welcome appearance in many other dishes.

Part of the impetus to host a new chef, Patrik Waxin explains, was the restaurant’s imminent expansion plans. Waxin recently opened his second location in Naples’ Mercato complex and will soon open his third along Clematis Street in downtown West Palm Beach. While both will feature the same menu offered in the Gardens, the West Palm outpost will also house Stockholm Syndrome, a members’ club–style lounge serving smaller bites that will change roughly four to six times a year.

SAVOR DESSERT

SWEET SPOT Another Shark Tank success is coming to Palm Beach County. In March 2023, Jeremy and Kaitlyn Carlson presented their Crispy Cones concept—featuring pastry dough cones that are grilled; covered with either cinnamon, sugar, or a specialty powder; and then filled with an array of spreads, ice creams, or toppings—to the Sharks. Businesswoman Barbara Corcoran took the bait, investing $200,000 to help the Carlsons expand via franchising in exchange for 20 percent of the company’s equity.

Now, Palm Beach Gardens will be the home of the second Crispy Cones location in Florida (the first is in Orlando). It is one of 100 new locations set to open across the country within the year.

“It all started when we were watching an episode of Shark Tank and saw the founders, Jeremy and Kaitlyn Carlson, present the business,” says Angela Cannella, the owner of Crispy Cones in Palm Beach Gardens. “We immediately thought the two of them were so smart and seemed like such nice people. The Crispy Cones looked so delicious; it was right up our alley. We love the idea of bringing the wonderful European-style dessert to the Palm Beach Gardens area.” (thecrispycones.com) —M.M.

We all love sweet things. It’s in our DNA. French pastries, warm cookies, and a luscious slice of cake are treats we can objectively agree are delicious. So, as a wine merchant, I find most consumers’ vitriolic aversion to sweet wines to be somewhat baffling. For those capable of opening their minds and suspending judgment, a world of well-balanced wines awaits. At West Palm Wine Co., we offer a spectrum of sweetness always buttressed by fresh acidity. When it comes to pairings, the generally accepted rule is to couple sweet treats with equally sweet wines. For example, a rich piece of coconut cake with a glass of dry Champagne is less than ideal, as dry wines will be overpowered and entirely muted when paired this way. Here are three sweet sips to savor with dessert.

COURTESY OF THE FOUR SEASONS HOTEL AND RESIDENCES FORT LAUDERDALE

Amor et flores—the concept of associating flowers with love—can be traced back to the Roman festival of Lupercalia, a celebration that honored fertility and the coming of spring. Held annually between February 13 and 15, the festival was dedicated to Faunus (the Roman god of agriculture) and centered around fertility rituals. In addition, young men and women participated in a “lottery of love,” a rudimentary matchmaking system wherein the women would place their names in an urn and the men would draw names at random.

This month, embrace the same serendipitous spirit and lust for love with a cocktail that encapsulates nature in a glass. Crafted by Matthew Dress, lead mixologist at Evelyn’s at the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences Fort Lauderdale, the Rose Garden features Absolut Elyx Vodka, Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato, rose water, lemon juice, GH Mumm Brut Rosé, and a frozen rose ice cube. As it melts, the ice cube infuses the drink with subtle floral notes, delighting the senses while evoking the beauty of a blooming garden. (fourseasons.com/fortlauderdale)

Add the first four ingredients to a tin and shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe with a large floral ice cube. Top with GH Mumm Brut Rosé.

FROM CIT Y TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

Who needs a shed when you can create a charming potting room inside your home? That’s exactly what designer Caroline Rafferty of Caroline Rafferty Interiors did with a previously unused area in this historic Palm Beach home. It was a perfect fit for a client with an incredible garden that she lovingly maintains. “This space was inspired by traditional potting rooms and garden houses,” says Rafferty. “The homeowner wanted the room to feel natural but elegant, so we stuck to wood cabinetry [designed by Caroline Forrest of MHK Palm Beach] and this fun tropical wallpaper.” The overall vibe balances style and function, with vases of varying shapes and colors as well as live plants lining the shelves. An ontheme floral chandelier and layered rugs finish the space, which Rafferty describes as “collected and traditional with a twist.” (carolinerafferty. com) —Liza Grant Smith

MARK AND GRAHAM

A PUNCH OF FUN Signature drinks are always a great way to underscore the mood of an event and include an individualized element. But how about adding a twist by offering a signature punch instead? While the rainbow sherbet variety rose to fame in the 1980s, there are now hundreds of unique recipes to choose from. There are so many, in fact, that it’s easy to find a punch that can play into your gathering’s theme or has specific kinds of alcohol or fruit flavors. One of the advantages to punch is that it can be prepared in large batches ahead of time. It’s also a nice mocktail alternative for nondrinkers. Or blend the best of both worlds by making the punch nonalcoholic and offering instructions—alongside a bottle of liquor and a jigger—for how to spike it if desired.

DESTINATION VIBE The choice of a soundtrack for your fete speaks to its overall mood and energy, so consider taking partygoers on a trip to an exciting destination. More and more hotels are making signature playlists on Spotify. Just as these tracks create the experience for visitors while on property, they can also transport listeners to a luxury vacation frame of mind. Jet off to far-flung destinations like the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach or Iceland’s Hótel Rangá, or maybe leave the passport at home with domestic destinations like the Kimpton Hotel Palomar Los Angeles-Beverly Hills.

ORGANIC CHEMISTRY While flowers always get the job done in terms of beauty, try a new formula for your centerpieces. Sustainable centerpieces are not only a green choice, but they help you avoid the somewhat depressing experience of watching floral arrangements droop in subsequent days.

Thoughtfully curated terrariums or succulent gardens add an unexpected element to your table and, when the revelers leave, you can give the garden a second life in your house. Or, if you are feeling especially generous, create or purchase many small glass terrarium arrangements and let guests take one home with them as a fun favor.

GET INTIMATE Save the big, thunderous dinner parties with a sprawling guest list and multiple tables for family reunions and weddings.

A great way to deliver a delightful get-together is to scale back the number of people included and spend time truly allowing attendees to interact. This starts with the table. Keep everyone at one table— even if it is two tables pushed together to give the illusion of one long table.

Also trending is the use of narrow tables. Remember: the greater the physical distance across a table from one guest to another, the harder it is to establish a connection emotionally. Try to avoid large round tables or anything that requires you to shout so that those on the other side can hear you.

GAME CHANGERS While you don’t have to pull out Twister, consider a conversation icebreaker.

Tabletopics Dinner Party has 135 question cards with fun queries like “If you could name the street you live on, what would you call it?” and “What movie made you laugh until you cried?” You can write a question on the back of guests’ place cards or pass the box around and let each person pick.

Twenty years ago, Leslie Diver left her career as a financial advisor to launch Island Living Tours and introduce people to the paradise she had fallen in love with. Now a longtime Palm Beach resident who has served on the town’s Architectural Commission and Landmarks Preservation Commission, Diver is able to deliver true insider tours on foot, by bike, or by car that are both educational and fun. Building on the success of her colorful “Best of Palm Beach” tours, Diver has added a new “Strictly Architecture” tour that highlights the “Fab Four” architects in Palm Beach’s history and takes participants down different streets to discover examples of their work. All of Diver’s tours are private and by appointment only.

“Our world-class architecture is eye candy for architecture buffs,” says Diver. “Participants on my tours can expect to be overwhelmed.” (islandlivingpb.com) —Liza Grant Smith

CURE-ALL ASHA WALKER’S NEW APP AIMS TO HELP USERS LEAD HEALTHIER, HAPPIER, AND MORE BALANCED LIVES

BY LINDA MARX

PBI: Why did you want to start Cured?

Walker: I have such a secure background from my wonderful and giving parents that I like to help other people in many ways. I have the desire to make their lives better by focusing on the whole person. Acting in my earlier years gave me the skills to lead people. Now with Cured, I point them in the right direction for healthy living with the ability to track individual progress. Even though giving back has always been a part of my family’s life, it is also what makes me happy.

Describe Cured and how it differs from other wellness apps.

I wanted to make wellness simple, so each user can become his or her own health coach. I target food, movement,

IVAN LANZ

As a self-proclaimed theater kid, Asha Walker learned many skills, including how to articulate her views on life. She also watched her educator parents as they started a school for low-income children and stressed the importance of giving back. Now as a wellness entrepreneur and certified holistic health coach who splits her time between Miami and Palm Beach, Walker employs those life lessons and experiences to help others feel better. In 2013, she launched Health in the Hood, a nonprofit organization with a mission to create equal access for all through urban vegetable gardens and wellness programs. This past October, she debuted Cured, a holistic wellness app consisting of more than 70 modules categorized around food, movement, and longevity. She also runs Asha Walker Wellness, a platform featuring educational and inspirational content. PBI recently caught up with Walker to chat about Cured and more. (ashawalkerwellness.com)

and longevity, which includes areas like sleep, hydration, genetics, healthy cooking, inflammation, and many more.

It took me two years to build the app.

How does Cured focus on the “why,” which is a critical component of establishing consistent habits?

By navigating the app, users organically uncover the root causes of their personal imbalances, make lifestyle changes, and seamlessly integrate holistic wellness into their daily lives.

What other qualities make Cured stand out from other wellness apps?

This app is a wellness switchboard, an interactive library that puts users in the driver’s seat of their wellness journeys. Cured users become their own health coaches, their own healers, their own cure.

What are your future goals in this arena?

Sharing the ripple effect of health across the world is my goal. I love to help people lead happier and healthier lives. Nourishment all around is so important. I aim to help my subscribers behave better as well as look and feel better.

Named after the ancient Egyptian Queen Nefertiti—whose elegant, long, thin neck was made famous with the 1913 discovery of her painted sandstone bust—the Nefertiti Lift is gaining popularity thanks to both its results and lack of downtime. In the cosmetic procedure, a neuromodulator (such as Xeomin, Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, or Jeuveau) is injected in specific areas along the jawline and neck to relax TE NG the muscles that pull down as we age. The jowls and cheeks are lifted to improve the look of the neck and jaw. Dr. Norman Rowe—a New York–based, board-certified plastic surgeon—is offering the service at the newly opened Rowe Plastic Surgery Palm Beach. “The goal of the Nefertiti Lift is a more defined jawline, and patients can expect it to last three to six months,” says Rowe, whose practice includes locations in the Hamptons, New York, and New Jersey. “While anytime someone has an injection there is a chance of a bruise, there is no other recovery associated with the lift.” (normanrowemd.com) —L.G.S.

WHAT ATTRACTS PATIENTS TO SEEK OUT ENNIS PLASTIC SURGERY OVER OTHER PRACTICES IN SOUTH FLORIDA?

We are very fortunate to have clients from all over the world coming to see us in Boca Raton. With a team of professional and caring employees, our practice differentiates itself from the rest in that it offers an expert husband-and-wife team working together to achieve results.

IS THERE A SPECIALTY THAT DRAWS THEM?

The majority of our patients who travel to our practice in Boca Raton do so for our facial work and the very natural results we always aim to achieve. As the face ages it loses muscle elasticity, which affects the appearance of the skin, thus the misconception that lines and wrinkles are only ‘skin deep.’ By addressing the muscle underneath, we achieve a beautifully refreshed and natural result. We offer a true Deep Plane Facelift which allows us to achieve amazing results unlike other Facelift techniques.

ARE THERE OTHER PROCEDURES YOU ARE RENOWNED FOR?

We recently introduced the latest technology in hair transplantation that leaves no linear scar on the back of the head, and a rejuvenated hair line for the patient. Our breast implant technology achieves very natural results without a scar on the breast, preferring an underarm incision. Finally, our boutique practice approach in Boca Raton caters to a very sophisticated and well-educated group of patients who seek us out based on their research of cutting-edge procedures and our excellent reviews, which speak for themselves.

IN A PICKLE Downtown West Palm Beach continues to serve up exciting adventures with the seasonal addition of CityPickle.

Co-founders Mary Cannon and Erica Desai were longtime friends and tennis partners, but they discovered pickleball separately while spending time outside of New York City during the pandemic.

When they came back to the city, the duo realized that there were only a handful of public outdoor courts, many of which demanded hour-long wait times for 15 minutes of play. They started CityPickle to celebrate the sport while also catering to the busy lives of urban professionals— combining bookable indoor courts with the added benefit of pre- or post-game socializing at a full bar and café. The CityPlace pop-up location boasts 13 courts (with adjacent cabanas) that are available

for open play, rentals, and private event bookings, plus clinics and lessons. “Simply said, pickleball is fun,” says Cannon. “It’s approachable for all ages and a great way to spend quality time with friends, family, and colleagues.” (city-pickle. com) —L.G.S.

PLACE IN THE SUN

In late 2020, April Orlando was diagnosed with skin cancer on her nose and cheek that required Mohs surgery to remove and then plastic surgery to repair the area. In the aftermath of what Orlando describes as a traumatizing experience for both her and her college-aged daughter, she reflected on her personal history of sunscreen use.

“I had only worn SPF products when I went to the beach or on our boat, not realizing how important daily sun protection is,” Orlando recalls. “We knew from that moment on that anything we put on my face needed to have SPF protection, but we struggled to find products that didn’t make our sensitive skin break out or that had color pigment to it.”

Orlando started reading books about skin care, going to conferences to learn about formulating cosmetics, and visiting various manufacturers that specialize in SPF formulations. Her goal was to create high-quality color cosmetics with UVA/UVB protection that would appeal to an American clientele but also meet rigorous standards in the European Union. Eventually, after connecting with a manufacturer in Milan, Italy, she was able to launch Alamea Palm Beach.

Now the brand offers a range of skin care products and cosmetics that all have a minimum SPF (sun protection factor) of 30. “We wanted our products to not only be sun protective, but also have skin care properties to support aging and sun-damaged skin,” Orlando explains. “Hyaluronic acid is in almost all our products to help smooth the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. We also include many skin-nourishing antioxidants like green tea, white peony, and iris extract, which have antimicrobial properties to prevent skin irritations.”

When it comes to her personal favorites, Orlando points to the Cheeky Sheer Cream Blush SPF 30 and the Skinny Satin Lipstick SPF 30 in the shade Summer Blush. (alamea palmbeach.com) —L.G.S.

Sealed with a Kiss GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF FRESH BREATH AND A PERFECT PUCKER THIS VALENTINE’S DAY

BY LIZA GRANT SMITH MINTY FRESH Halitosis (aka bad breath) affects approximately one in four people, according to the Cleveland Clinic. While its main causes stem from the mouth, gut and digestive health can also play a part. The innovative Nude Mints ($25 for pack of five) deliver on two levels: the outer capsule dissolves in your mouth and provides instant freshness, while the inner colored capsule dissolves in your gut to help with digestion. The container even has a fidgetlike design to promote mental wellness. (itsjustnude.com)

Sweet Treat

Following in the delicious footsteps of the glazed donut nails made popular on TikTok (thanks, Hailey Bieber) is the new trend of glazed donut lips. Lanolips’ fan-favorite 101 Ointment in Glazed Donut ($13.50) boasts vitamin E and pure Australian lanolin—which mimics human oils better than traditional petroleum jelly—to penetrate lips and lock in moisture.

Scrub Up

The Lip Scrub ($26) by Sara Happ is a key first step for any lip care routine. Simply massage this tangy exfoliation treatment (available in five flavors, including Pink Grapefruit) onto clean, dry lips using a circular motion and then wipe it away with a tissue. Consumer studies found that 92 percent of those who tried it believed their lips looked younger after just one use, and 100 percent remarked that their lips felt less dry and flaky. (sarahapp.com)

THE LEAVES ALSO CONTAIN HIGH LEVELS OF CHLOROPHYLL, WHICH IS BELIEVED TO HAVE ANTI-BACTERIAL PROPERTIES— THEREBY KILLING THE ORAL BACTERIA THAT CAN LEAD TO BAD BREATH. SOME STUDIES SUGGEST THAT THE EFFECTS ARE GREATER IF YOU CHEW ON THE LEAVES AFTER EVERY MEAL.

PALM BEACH THE ISLAND’S SPIRIT IS INEXTRICABLY TIED TO WELLNESS

BY TAMMY FENDER CO URT DER ESY O F TAMMY FEN

No matter the season, I feel it the moment I exit the airport: the welcoming sense of ease that comes with the first breath of Palm Beach’s seaside air. Whenever I’ve been overwrought, overtired, or overbooked, coming home to this beautiful oasis is like a balm for the soul, making it easy to imagine how Palm Beach’s pioneering residents felt arriving here in the late-nineteenth century.

As America’s first resort destination, Palm Beach retains so much of its historical charm.

For more than a hundred years, it has offered a culture of leisure and luxury that has attracted glittering guests from every corner of the world. But its graceful swaying of palm trees, gentle breezes, and relaxed opulence are only part of its appeal.

In its own way, Palm Beach has always been a wellness destination. Seen through a holistic lens, what could be healthier and more wholesome than the way this community has danced together at every gala and function since the days when tea dances drew the most illustri-

ous Gilded Age revelers? Along the way, Lilly Pulitzer’s famous Via Mizner juice stand has given rise to the area’s fantastic collection of new organic juice bars. But modern-day Palm Beach is also a place where so many different integrative practitioners offer everything from outdoor yoga classes and oceanside sound baths to bio-frequency therapy and excellent alternative medicine treatments.

The world’s growing awareness of the mindbody connection is reflected in how we experience Palm Beach through innovations that weave together wellness and community with a respect for the beauty of the natural world. But one of the things we all love about this place is how, since the very beginning and beyond all the trends, Palm Beach moves through time with its own uniquely elegant finesse. « Palm Beach’s holistic appeal includes pleasures such as (clockwise from top right) strolls along South Ocean Boulevard and through Worth Avenue’s renowned vias, opportunities for oceanside yoga, and organic juice bars galore.

WHEN DEBT IS A GOOD THING WHY IT CAN PAY TO LEND YOURSELF INVESTMENT CAPITAL WITH TAX-AWARE BORROWING

BY JOE PYE

In May 2023, Hollywood alums Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez purchased a 17,005-square-foot mansion in Beverly Hills, California, for $60 million. Affleck and Lopez paid cash but took out a $20 million mortgage on the home months later. The loan left Hollywood and real estate reporters scratching their heads.

Not Palm Beach–based tax attorney Andrew Comiter. He knows exactly what they did and recommends ultra-wealthy Floridians do the same.

“This was more of a tax play for them,” says Comiter. “If you do this deal, yes, you get debt, but not to fall further into debt. You’re using it to make more money—that’s the bottom line.”

Borrowing money in a way that lets you deduct the interest expenses is often known as “tax-aware borrowing.” Kurt Sylvia, a wealth partner at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management based in Palm Beach Gardens, helps his clients understand that debt isn’t always a bad thing. “Borrowing to finance the purchase of an asset such as a house can help secure long-

term financial stability and even profitability,” he says.

In 2017, President Trump passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The tax codes lowered the mortgage interest deduction to a $750,000 cap, which can be used for primary residential property and investment properties like rentals.

The latter is where there are hidden benefits in the tax code for the ultra-wealthy. You can work around the mandated $750,000 deduction cap by borrowing a much larger loan against your property for “investments.” The interest rates are considered eligible for legal tax write-offs.

It makes the most sense for high earners who own high-value homes.

200 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

200_WEALTH_0225.indd 200

1/2/25 10:13 AM

“Because there are rules surrounding what and how much you can deduct, borrowers might consider working with a financial advisor to develop a debt strategy that makes the most of these allowances,” says Sylvia. “In certain instances, borrowing can increase someone’s cash flow, reduce their total borrowing costs, and help lower tax obligations.”

Comiter says the key to qualifying for tax deductions is that the debt must be investment interest. Proving to the IRS that your mortgage is an investment takes some planning. He suggests the best approach is to buy a rental property with cash and then take a 10-year loan on that home— knowing you can afford the interest over that time. Then, put that money into the market through an investment firm like J.P. Morgan, which can

be equities, bonds, or real estate. You can deduct the interest expense on that investment over time.

“Let’s say that you’re going to buy an investment property or go into a deal where you want to take money and put it into your business [and] you do a home equity line of credit,” Comiter says. “If you take money and borrow it at 3 percent and you’re making 5 percent in bonds, it’s like free money to you.”

Putting funds from the mortgage into an investment account is important because, should the IRS audit your tax returns, a tax attorney like Comiter can then help them trace where the money went, proving it was used for investment and growth purposes—not just a straight mortgage.

In his 15 years of experience, Comiter has helped his high-net clients through IRS audits, many of whom have complicated estates with complicated assets. “We set up an account that the money goes directly into and show the IRS we took out the money from the home and deployed it into an investment,” he says. “I could show that interest is being paid on that loan and it’s not just mortgage indebtedness.”

Comiter notes that a well-versed tax law professional can dramatically reduce one’s tax burden. “They can make you 2 percent on $20 million,” he says. “That’s a lot of money, [but] then we’ll get you that 2 percent plus move $6 million out of your name tax-free. By doing that for estate tax purposes, suddenly, using debt in certain ways is a good thing.” «

Dear Liz,

Tabletop pieces can get expensive. I don’t own lots of different table settings, although I do like to entertain at home and mix up my tablescapes. Do you have any ideas on how to do this without breaking the bank?

You have come to the right place! I too love to entertain and create fun, new tablescapes every time I have people over.

Having multiple sets of plates and cutlery can get pricey—not to mention hard to store—but there are so many other ways to have fun with your tables with-

out breaking the bank.

I would suggest investing in a neutral set of plates; white is always right, along with simple glassware and your favorite cutlery. Or maybe you received good silver place settings for your wedding. If so, use them. People so often like to save their “good things,” but I find that if you do that, you never end up using them, so what’s the point? Eddie Munves (the owner of James Robinson in New York City) once told me that you should use your silver every day and just toss it in the dishwasher. Who knew?

But I digress. You can have fun with the less expensive items: cute tablecloths and napkins (Etsy is a fantastic source for these). I often layer two similar but not matching tablecloths for depth.

Centerpieces are a

fun way to mix things up too. I adore going to the wholesale flower market in West Palm Beach to find flowers I like (Publix is another fantastic source) and then I arrange them at home, either in an array of small glass vases (purchased on Amazon) or in fun vessels I already own, such as chinoiserie smudge pots.

Sometimes I’ll throw fun accessories I have around the house into the center of the table too— shells or other small, cute objects.

And don’t forget about lighting!

I always put lots of little votives on my tables. I like real candles, but some of the electric ones are fantastic and so easy to pop into cute containers. And speaking of containers, almost any small, open bowl can be transformed into a votive, so think outside the glass cylinder.

In terms of salt and pepper

shakers, I collect individual ones—from the highest end Christofle silver sets to little fun ones I find on eBay and Etsy. I like almost everyone to have access to their own, so that you aren’t constantly having to reach or ask to have things passed. I don’t get hung up on all the sets on my table matching; in fact, I prefer that they don’t!

HAVE A XO,

LL
