ENVIABLE CALIFORNIA RANCH STYLE

by Penny Jones

This magnificent custom-designed and built California Ranch-style estate has a full pier-and-beam foundation and occupies 1.5 acres in the exclusive, gated community of The Retreat at Sovereign Shores.

Custom-designed finishes, dramatic architectural details, generous room sizes, and elegant formal and informal spaces are surrounded and enhanced by stunning views of Sovereign Shores Lake.

Positioned at the head of a gated, crushed-granite drive, a stone porte-cochere provides entry to a large motor court and impressive six-car garage. Manicured, professionally-designed landscaping softens the home’s stone-clad exterior with lush gardens, flowing fountains and mature trees, all strategically planted to maximize interior views of the lake.

Custom-designed, glass front doors open into a foyer of grand proportions appointed with tumbled travertine floors, Chicago-brick accents and a double-height tower with a cedar-plank ceiling.

Formal and informal spaces blend seamlessly as the adjoining billiards room and home theater extend the entertaining possibilities. The billiards room offers a customdesigned, tin ceiling and multiple media centers; the home theater features tiered seating, a dramatic beamed ceiling and 3D television.

The enormous great room offers a double-height ceiling, Chicagobrick arches and accents, patterned pecan floor, oversized cast-stone fireplace, and expansive views of the lake through floor-to-ceiling French doors.

An impressive array of SubZero and Wolf stainless steel appliances, selected to please the most discriminating cook, distinguishes the elegant, spacious kitchen, a

perfect gathering place for casual entertaining. The extensive countertops and large island are surfaced with Uba Tuba granite, famous for its durability and intense color. A breakfast nook surrounded by windows and a well-equipped wine bar complete the space.

Double, concave, carved, barn-style doors guard the inviting master suite. The bedroom offers a juice bar, double walk-in closets with library storage and a private laundry station, and serene views of the terraces, pool and lake through tall French doors and windows.

Equipped with the amenities of a five-star spa, the sumptuous bathroom features an oversized shower with multiple shower sprays and a Japanese-style bathtub with ceiling faucet. A door in one of the master closets access a private garden, open to the stars, with a luxurious hot tub.

Bedroom suites in the east wing provide luxurious accommodations for family and guests and may also accommodate a live-in nanny. One bedroom suite is ADA compliant and would serve very well for disabled or older family members. Amenities include a private entrance, wellequipped kitchenette, laundry, and a private office with a stone fireplace.

The grounds offer a secluded oasis completed with outdoor air-conditioning, three sheltered outdoor living and entertaining areas, fully-equipped summer kitchen, and a glass-rock fire pit.

Waterfalls enhance the double infinity-edge, pedestal swimming pool and spa that overlook the lawn chess board. A state-of-the-art sports court encourages activities from basketball to tennis.

include a Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer and an Italian Ilve professional-grade range with custom-designed hood.

The staircase landing transitions into the game room with oak floors, a media cabinet, French windows and an adjacent full bathroom. Opposite the game room, sets of tall French doors access a deep balcony designed to serve as an outdoor living room with a wrought iron railing, enormous lead planters and a custom-designed, trellised canopy intended for bougainvillea.

A tall stucco privacy wall encloses the outdoor living area which includes a shady loggia, granite terrace, classicallystyled pool with fountain jets, and a fully-equipped summer kitchen and wet bar.

A note from

MARTHA AND TOM

What’s the use of a fine house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?

Henry David Thoreau, Familiar Letters

Our Dear Readers, Houstonians are increasingly mindful of the importance of caring for our environment through positive changes in the ways that we live and work. This issue of PROPERTES magazine celebrates forward-thinking Houstonians whose creativity is bringing green living to more and more of our city. From initiating environmentally sensitive renovation and innovation in building, to establishing local farmers’ markets and farm-to-door green grocers, to following a simple recycling regimen, Houstonians are choosing to go green.

As a real estate firm, we at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty are closely tied to the movement in green building. In addition to cutting-edge energysaving materials, systems and construction methods, many of the most highlyprized elements that enrich new homes, such as reclaimed wood, stone, brick, and iron, are also a part of green building. Their use keeps their bulk out of our over-burdened landfills. Our front cover home, a gloriously luxurious California Ranch-style home, has been beautifully enhanced with magnificent reclaimed floors, ceiling beams and more.

In this issue, our featured country property is Morning Glory Farm in Brenham. The spectacular photographs only hint at all of the possibilities of this unique, 30-acre estate, located a scant 75 minutes from Houston.

If you think there is nothing new under the sun, think again. Our back cover home, positioned on a premier lot in River Oaks, offers a sophisticated lifestyle with top-notch, luxurious amenities inside and out. Built by Al Ross Luxury Homes, this home offers a new level of customer service: a three-year home warranty on all items in the house, plus a one-year concierge maintenance service for the house, pool and grounds.

We’ll see you again in the fall with another issue of PROPERTIES. In the meantime, we at Martha Turner Sotheby’s International Realty are here to serve all of your real estate needs. Have a wonderful and safe summer.

We want to be YOUR Realtor.

RENOVATION ROULETTE

By Carol Isaak Barden

I had lived contently in my home for almost two decades until I decided to give my kitchen a facelift – just a nip and tuck, really. The makeover would include a palette of new luxurious materials including teak counter tops, under-counter lighting, and a fresh coat of paint. The ugly formica counters and antiquated appliances would disappear along with the much-scarred porcelain sink and a ceiling that resembled Swiss cheese. (The holes were caused by those big recessed cans.)

Surely, this would be no big deal.

The transformation (i.e. nightmare) began a few weeks later when a contractor and crew arrived to demolish an entirely adequate kitchen. Appliances were carted off, countertops and lighting vanished, and cabinet doors and drawers were moved to the dining room where they would be painted. A simple bowl of hot soup was now impossible as the entire kitchen had been boxed up and was sitting in the living room, and coffee was difficult since the water was off and the faucet was missing. Two weeks into the renovation, I decided - as long as I was making such a big mess - to make a bigger one: to update all the lighting in the house; paint every inch of it; tear out two bathrooms – the master and the powder room.

I ripped apart one kitchen wall for a built-in flat screen TV, and dispatched the guys to sink power saws into my bedroom for more bookcases. Outside my front door, a landscaping crew trashed everything to install outdoor lighting, an automated irrigation system, and pricey oldgrowth trees.

Suddenly, it was not the hair-and-cosmetics type of renovation I had anticipated, but the total rip-it-allout destruction known as the gut job. I’ll spare you all the gory details, but the house was now in shambles – stripped down to the studs, and the constant din of screaming saws was making me crazy. I packed up my belongings, called the movers and relocated to The River Oaks, an apartment complex on Westheimer filled with Renovation Refugees. There I would live for the next 18 months.

My friend, Amy, a renovation survivor, had warned me.

Some renovations cost three times the original bid, she said. Remember Donald Trump? All he wanted to do was to turn the Mar-a-Lago garage and staff quarters into a spa and it cost him $20 million and took two years.

Amy had lived through multiple remodeling nightmares in the past. Don’t forget to hire a real estate attorney to draw up your contract, she added. Lawsuits happen.

Did I listen? Of course not.

I didn’t get multiple bids. In fact, I didn’t get any bids.

There was no contract, there was no construction schedule, there was no hard-and-fast budget, and my contractor was already hammering nails before I got his final guesstimate, a useless number that allowed him to

6 PROPERTIES | VOLUME 2 – 2014

get his foot in my door. Since this was to have been a simple renovation, there were no architectural plans, construction documents, or specifications. We relied on napkin drawings and figured out things as we went along, not such a good idea. Of course the guesstimate didn’t begin to include all the add-ons, while-your-at-its, and change orders.

Renovations have a way of getting out of control – and it wasn’t long before my bottom line was swimming in a sea of red ink.

Caught up in the design force field, I was undisciplined and unable to say no. I swooned when I saw the Zen sink and Dornbracht faucets. Had to have the hand-blown crystal light fixtures, and never mind some new Pella windows across the front of the house. My budget collapsed under the weight of laborintensive teak kitchen counters (handsanded! hand-oiled finish). Though the cost of the new appliances seemed reasonable, the $180 a yard New Zealand unbleached wool carpeting - the softest wool imaginable - was not, neither was the Jack Lenor Larsen silk that went up on my living and dining room walls. The project had short-circuited my judgment.

The new teak bookcases illuminated with indirect lighting didn’t help either nor did I ever imagine that a top-notch paint job could cost as much as a new S-class Mercedes.

There were an infinite number of reasons why the project was delayed – from no-show workers to back-ordered stone and a powder room sink mired in customs. Everything took longer than expected – (come on, boys, hurry), and because my job had a lot of moving parts, the refurbishment progressed slowly. I wanted to fire my contractor dozens of times. Most annoying was his disappearing act. Every time I left town, my over-booked contractor left too and worked for someone else across town.

Like a lot of contractors, he had assigned himself to other home owners so I often arrived home - after a long trip - to find an empty house exactly as I had left it. Where in the hell are my workers, I would ask my neighbor who had not seen my dawdling contractor in days. Why couldn’t contractors just stick around to finish one job before starting six more?

population; a rotting roof; a failing air-conditioning system. City inspectors arrived unannounced and handed me a long list of expensive and obscure code violations. As any remodeling survivor can attest, there should be a 10% line item in your budget for all the bad stuff you can’t see or anticipate.

You would think after all of this I wouldn’t go near another construction site but some years later, I launched a company that builds homes in Houston. I have now built 17 spec homes and have worked on private custom projects as well and for me, a job site is a fatal attraction. I can’t stay away and I can’t see myself doing anything else. Painful lessons have been learned about contracts, budgets, and how to lure the finest artisans, contractors and architects and keep them all working. Mastery of a construction project requires careful planning. It must be a disciplined, orderly and thoughtful process – not the willy-nilly, out-ofcontrol operation of my first facelift.

Building and renovation is much more than the sum of its frustrating parts.

It’s like a marriage, more trouble than anyone lets on but there are possibilities for true happiness.

In fact, I long for the day when I own my very own sledge hammer.

When at long (very long) last it was over, I had to admit that it looked great. The house was uber-luxurious and was even published in Southern Accents and PaperCity. The cost, however, was equally great due to some random disasters that befall all homeowners; a patio that proved to house half the Texan termite

marthaturner.com

LESSONS FROM THE FRONT:

Start with a plan – drawings and specifications - not a sketch on an envelope. Eliminate all ambiguous guesstimates. Contract documents should spell out every material and product including model numbers, colors, and installation method. Specify!

Contractors are famous for making substitutions when specs are absent.

Watch and question everything, says one friend who renovates for a living and found a spanking new paint job banged up and totally destroyed by the flooring crew who arrived to lightly buff her marble floors.

Renovating wisely means carefully checking contractors. Be prepared to do some detective gumshoe work. Don’t hire anyone who has declared bankruptcy. Check references and the business history. Go see their work. Talk to clients, lots of them. Word gets around about the dishonest guys. Make sure your contractor is a competent professional, a meticulous builder, and ask for written proof that he is licensed and has adequate insurance. Architects and designers are good sources for contractors.

Hire a contractor who has been around for awhile and will stand behind his work. I hate to mention this, but a few contractors are truly guilty of criminal conduct, fraud and worse. I once hired a Bernie Madoff-type, a lawless rogue who overcharged and stole. Sometimes a contractor will discover something unexpected that requires a fix but this guy was submitting phony change orders all the time, which is typical of a crook. He was indeed guilty of lying about everything. In the beginning, he was so nice (what a false impression), but he became subversive and rebellious as I figured out his scams, hit the brakes, took control, and hired an honest builder. Your real-estate attorney will explain why it’s sometimes unwise to fire a contractor midproject.

Be sure that the chemistry is right. There will be hundreds of decisions, so hire somebody you can fight with and still be friends with in the morning.

Don’t work with people who discourage you from asking questions; what you don’t know can hurt you.

Be firm with architects who ignore practicalities, and don’t listen to anyone who over-rules common sense.

If your architect or designer doesn’t seem to know (or care) what anything costs, find someone else.

So you were planning to go to Europe while the work happens? Think about this carefully. Renovation involves nasty surprises. When something unexpected crops up, the homeowner must be on the spot to make decisions. If you go out of town, your crew will go to another job and the least possible amount of work will be done in your absence.

Get to know your crew intimately, and learn to scope out potential problems. Ask your crew often, What are you doing? You will be surprised at what can happen on a jobsite. I once caught a crew taking down the wrong wall.

marthaturner.com

To find out what it will cost to pull your vision together, get at least two bids and three is better.

Make a hard and fast budget. Don’t hint around with contractors or architects about your bottom line, draw a line in the sand. Tell them, I can only spend this much and not one penny more. Period.

Renovation can cost more than new construction.

Get a good real estate attorney before you start, not later, and he will make sure that your contractor has signed a contract.

Renovation is like an addiction. People become insane. Couples fight and behave like lunatics. It’s normal when you’re washing dishes in a bathtub to act a little crazy.

When is it charming? When is it a hopeless goner?

Are you asking for a new paint job, or will you be stripping the place down to the studs? Don’t get carried away. Know exactly what you’re doing before you start tearing the place apart. Put all changes in writing and make sure that both you and the contractor sign all change orders. Learn what a lienrelease is, and get them from every contractor as they finish their work.

Don’t take the lowest bid without understanding what corners may be cut. Accepting the lowest paint bid - instead of the super-duper bid - may mean that the painter will not protect the parts of your house that are not being painted, like the floor.

Don’t try to rush the job because the finishes will tell the tale. Only fools rush craftsmen and artisans. Be prepared for the artist-diva contractors. Some are truly worth the trouble, others should be fired asap.

Be patient. Beautiful workmanship does not happen at breakneck speed. Skilled tradesmen know that one of the most important – and overlooked – factors in quality workmanship is something called prep.

In some states, anybody can get a pickup truck and say they’re a landscape contractor. Find out if your landscaper is licensed or registered, and before you spend thousands of dollars on landscape design, bid the maintenance costs. Some owners end up spending a fortune just to keep the new shrubs properly pruned and clipped.

If possible, avoid the daily onslaught of contractors, subcontractors, drill saws and dust and live somewhere else while the house is being remodeled.

To maintain your sanity, don’t plan your life around an official completion date. It’s certain to be delayed, thanks in part to the many changes you will make.

Finally, always hold some money back, don’t pay anyone in full until the work is satisfactorily completed.

MONTROSE MODERN

by Penny Jones

4107 Stanford – A drive down a quiet Montrose street reveals something quite unexpected: a tall Modern structure with an elegant sweep of roof and all sorts of interesting angles. Welcome to 4107 Stanford Street, one of Houston’s most visually arresting and intriguing houses.

Designed by award-winning architect Scott Ballard, AIA, Houston Press Best Houston Architect 2007, the off-white stucco house presents a neutral façade – until one looks up. An interrupted arch of polished wood planks and glass appears to float atop the house’s upper levels almost like the great curve of an airplane hanger. A solid privacy gate leads to the enclosed courtyard and inviting pool where a steel staircase with open steel treads beckons to the second level entry.

Richly stained and distressed pine plank floors throughout the house contrast with pale walls perfect for art display, and there is plentiful natural sunlight through banks of insulated glass windows. Beneath a vaulted beamed ceiling curving as high as 19 feet, a high-tech kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek blonde cabinetry and a custom-built, steel work table divides the great room’s dining and living areas.

The living space has sliding glass doors to the front balcony; the dining area views treetops from the rear balcony.

Also on the second level but down a step or two from the great room, the master suite offers a full wall of windows and a luxurious white stone and tile bath with a glass enclosure steam shower and

deep soaking tub. The room-sized, walk-in closet offers customized built-in storage.

The master suite also features a private staircase to the ground level, a very convenient shortcut to the den/office, spacious artist studio, courtyard and pool. The den and studio both have concrete floors, and the den has sliding glass doors to the pool, a wall of book cases and a 500 bottle-capacity wine closet. The artist studio has clerestory windows, sliding glass doors to the covered rear patio and access to the attached garage.

Two additional bedrooms on the third floor enjoy the other half of the arched roof’s curved ceilings and share a well-appointed tiled bath.

INNOVATIONS IN GREEN BUILDING

By Joey Romano

Last November marked the one year anniversary of the completion of our first project, The Mirabeau B at Hyde Park, a fourteen unit apartment building in Montrose developed around energy efficiency and sustainability. Having gone through this process and living alongside a full house of residents this past year, I’ve found that approaching sustainability in a home or building is not as daunting or nebulous as one might think. Through my experiences I can recommend several of the following sustainable methods.

From building systems to finish selections, the industry is dominated by trends, where green promises product performance in marketing campaigns for everything from countertops to mattresses. With so many options and opinions, it is often easy to miss the big picture.

While our building features off-the-shelf materials and systems that save our residents close to 40% on energy costs, I’ve found that the success of the building’s sustainability relies on the quality of community and space established through the building’s design and approach to value.

On a lot that could easily fit double or triple the units, the Mirabeau B occupies just over 50% of the property, allowing space for a large courtyard and the preservation of all five old growth oak trees. The steel and concrete L shaped building wraps around the courtyard featuring exterior walkways instead of air conditioned hallways, providing natural light in every bedroom and a common balcony space around the courtyard. An art installation by Randy Twaddle at the pedestrian entrance welcomes residents and guests instead of an oversized and underutilized lobby.

In exchange for superfluous common space and high unit count, the building features fourteen large, high quality units more representative of homes than typical apartments. The building also includes a 15 kW solar array, high efficiency HVAC system, rain water cistern, spray foam insulation, and energy star appliances.

The result is an interesting, contemporary space that fosters a sense of community among the residents, something highly valued and often missing in many of the homes and complexes going up around Houston today.

To this end, I advise people to think differently about real estate. In an industry dominated by cost-per-foot, it’s time we base judgements on value-per-foot. In trading scale and inefficiency for quality and performance, sustainability is practical and ages gracefully.

With Houston’s current building boom, builders and home buyers must up the game to better steward the city’s quality of life and sustainability. My advice to those building from the ground up is to focus on quality of space over square footage. Houston also has a ripe stock of prewar buildings and homes ready for renovation, many of which were designed before air conditioning. Buildings had to be efficiently designed to be comfortable. I believe this approach to sustainability will always result in higher value and higher demand over the long term.

GOING GREEN

By Heather Staible

Going green sounds easy enough, but when it comes to injecting your home with eco-friendly elements, the process can be a bit overwhelming.

If you aren’t sure where to start or what going green actually means, take a look at our primer and start seeing and living in a whole new hue.

Transitioning to an eco-friendly environment simply means practicing an environmentally friendly and ecologically responsible lifestyle as well as making decisions to help protect the environment and sustain natural resources.

The Environmental Protection Agency suggests starting with just five action items, but you can certainly add on to your going and growing green list.

1.

Turn your thermostat down two degrees in winter and up two degrees in summer.

3.

Replace bathroom & kitchen faucets with low-flow models.

6.

Rest easy on an eco-friendly mattress.

Look for organic cotton and wool with steel coils that aren’t chemically-coated.

4.

2.

Make sure your walls and ceilings are well insulated.

Switch all the light bulbs in your home from conventional incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs. Not only is it good for the environment, but it saves you $40 over the life of the bulb.

7.

Switch to bedding made of organic cotton, bamboo or wool for sweet green dreams.

5.

Replace showerheads with WaterSense showerheads certified by the EPA to cut down on water and energy consumption.

11.

Look for reclaimed wood when replacing flooring, furniture, cabinets and building materials.

13.

Modular carpet tiles are another flooring option to consider when greening up the place. Eco-friendly companies, such as FLOR and Shaw Carpet, sell carpet squares that use non-toxic dyes and are made from recycled materials.

8.

Transition your cleaning supplies to ones that are made from natural ingredients such as vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda or carry the Design for the Environment label.

9.

Decorate and furnish your home with pieces made from natural fibers such as cotton, hemp, linen, wood, reeds, silk or bamboo. Blinds, shades and draperies come in a variety of fabrics that are beautiful and good for the environment.

10.

12.

If milk does your body good, imagine what it can do for your walls.

Consider using milk paint, made with milk protein called casein and lime. It’s a smart choice for interiors and when used on wood, gives a rich luster, allowing the grain to show through.

14.

Take your walls from drab to fab using non-toxic paint.

Look for paint with the low VOCs, low biocides, and natural pigments.

15.

Replace the toilets in the home with efficient toilets found at local home improvement stores.

Give your wood furniture a green-over with water-based stains and sealants without biocides and added dryers, or those made with beeswax or carnauba wax.

MORNING GLORY FARM

by Penny Jones

3332 FM 390 N – Only 75 minutes from Houston and 10 minutes from the Brenham airport, Morning Glory Farm is an outpost of serenity within the hills and valleys of Texas’ historic Independence Trail Region.

Encompassing 30 acres between Chappell Hill and Washingtonon-the-Brazos, Morning Glory Farm offers those fortunate enough to experience it a gentler, less-hurried way of life. Long held as one family’s private weekend and summer compound, its diverse attributes extend future possibilities to include continued use as a private estate or conversion to a corporate retreat or upscale country inn.

Morning Glory Farm began more than 35 years ago when previous owners, seeking to create a weekend get-away, moved a historic, c.

1925 Washington County school house onto the land. They renovated the old building into a spacious, comfortable second home with modern plumbing, electricity, kitchen, and bathrooms. The present owners purchased the property in 1997, named it Morning Glory Farm, and set about further transforming the house and grounds into the beautifully-appointed, meticulously-groomed, multi-structure estate that it is today.

An inviting allée of loblolly pines leads from the road to the main house, guest cottage and bunk house, traveling past a meadow of Bahia grass and wildflowers and a constant-level pond with a fountain, a lighted pier and a gazebo. The main house features an iconic, central Texas deep front porch; 15-foot ceilings; engineered, hand-sawed hardwood floors; an enormous living and dining area with banks of windows; an open, updated kitchen with artisan tile countertops and an island with pull-up seating; master suite with a sitting area and an office; private master bathroom with double sinks, a shower, a jetted tub, and a large walk-in closet; two spacious secondary bedrooms, one with a play loft, that share a Hollywood bathroom; and central HVAC with a propane backup system. Outdoor amenities include a grotto pool with a waterfall, wide stone terraces and a raised wooden deck with multiple seating areas, and manicured gardens.

Perfect for extended family and guests, the guest house has five bedrooms and three bathrooms; an open living and dining area; a fullyequipped kitchen; and a deep front porch. The bunk house has an open kitchenette and living area; a large dormitory bedroom; a Hollywood bathroom; and a deep front porch.

A caretaker cottage or additional guest house with a separate driveway entrance features an open living, dining and kitchen area; three bedrooms and one full bathroom; a raised deck; a one-car garage with a large workshop space; and a small separate cottage with one bedroom and a half-bath.

Additional compound amenities include two water wells, a well house, two irrigation systems, and a second pond. The property has an agricultural exemption for the hay meadow.

GREEN LANDSCAPING

By Heather Staible

How does your garden (and lawn) grow? Green and lush, we hope, but if your grass yearns to get back to its roots, give your landscaping an eco-friendly boost, nurturing the soil and using the warm Texas climate to your advantage.

Get ready to get a little dirty, because giving your lawn a green-friendly makeover means digging into the soil. Just one teaspoon of healthy soil contains four billion organisms, acting as soil soldiers, allowing air, water and plant root to stay strong.

Healthy soil recycles nutrients, making them available to plants, protecting plants from some pests and diseases, and helps store water until a plant needs it.

Start with a soil test, available at a garden supply center, to see how much nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and lime your soil needs to grow healthy plants. Once you have determined what your soil needs, start composting or buy compost. Culling your own compost is an easy endeavor; simply store leaves, chopped stalks, flowers, vegetable scraps and coffee grounds in a bin.

Over the course of three to six months, you will have created a nutrient-rich element your soil will love.

The benefit of composting includes encouraging sandy soils to retain nutrients and water, loosening clay soils and feeding the beneficial soil life so it can feed and protect your plants.

Make sure to mulch as well. A layer of leaves, aged wood chips, compost or grass clippings spread in the spring and fall around your plants stabilizes soil temperature, prevents weeds, feeds the soil for healthier plants and helps to conserve water. A gardener’s tip: don’t add more than three inches of mulch in your landscaping beds, and keep mulch about an inch away from stems and tree trunks.

Once your soil is prepped and ready, consider the materials you are using in the lawn. Look for plants and shrubs that are pestresistant, placing them in the sun, shade and soil conditions they

Get ready to get a little dirty.

like the most. Houston’s humid subtropical climate complete with hot, muggy summers and mild winters means some creative gardening. Perennials such as Pigeonberry and Blue Larkspur add color and can withstand the Houston heat as long as they are also given some shade. Repurposing and recycling items such as watering cans and wire patio furniture can become creative yard art that adds a touch of whimsy while still keeping the environment in mind.

Permeable pavers made from crushed stone, dry-laid pavers, open-celled grass pavers, and recycled materials are other elements to create a successful, sustainable landscape design. The materials allow water to pass through the flooring surface and flow to the soil, furthering the nurturing you gave your soil when starting the greenscape. Purchasing permeable pavers from local sources and made from recycled materials will also shrink your carbon footprint, which is another step in the right direction when planning your landscaping.

To learn more about creating an eco-friendly landscape, contact the Texas Nursery & Landscape Association for information about resources, products and companies specializing in sustainable landscaping (www.txnla.org).

ROSE’S LEGACY

by Sally Benson

Rose was in her 30’s when she came to the United States from Vietnam. Like the rest of her family, she had never seen a dentist. The years of inattention had robbed Rose of her smile.

A first trip to the dentist’s office can be a frightening experience-with all the technology and the strange noises- but at Legacy Community Health Services, Rose was immediately put at ease. They were so kind to me, she says.

Debra Costello, Legacy’s Dental Practice Manager, says, Our staff is trained to comfort first time clients who have no history of dental exams.

Rose now has new teeth, and her smile is back.

They didn’t just replace my teeth, they improved the shape of my face.

Rose’s story is not unique at Legacy. Some come from countries where focus on dental health is not as developed as it is in America. Others come to Legacy because they have fallen through the cracks of health insurance- such as Houston’s artists, restaurant workers, and independent contractors- who rarely get health or dental coverage.

Recent economic issues have also played havoc with individual’s healthcare budgets.

Unfortunately, dental care for some people has come to be viewed as a luxury, so they don’t come in for checkups, Ms. Costello says. Many do not realize that exams are for so much more than oral care; they can diagnose HIV, diabetes, and brain disorders while evaluating overall health.

Legacy has also reached out into the community to change the lives of clients sheltered by the Houston Area Women’s Center.

Ms. Costello recalls one memorable woman from HAWC who had lost her teeth due to domestic violence. It impacted her looks, her self- esteem, and her ability to apply for a job.

+ AT YOUR DOOR STEP

Farm-fresh, local foods delivered right to your home

By Holly Beretto After the strange cold this past winter, Houston’s balmy summer weather is enough to make anyone head out to a farmer’s market, or roadside stand, seeking the pick of the crop.

But that desire runs head-on into the idea of a life packed with work and errands and kids and activities. Try as we might, no one can really do it all.

Those in the know, however, realize they can bring home the joy of fresh, farm-raised fare, even if they can’t stop by and chat with a local vendor about how he’s grass-feeding his beef.

A number of delivery services around the Bayou City and its environs work directly with area growers and producers to select the best produce, meats and cheeses, and fan out across the city limits to bring the bounty right to your door. This sampling should be plenty to whet your appetite.

Austin-based Greenling (www.greenling.com) opened up shop in Houston last year with a distribution facility in western Houston that serves as the hub for all Bayou City deliveries from the company. In collaboration with area producers such as Plant it Forward Farms, Gunderman Acres, Animal Farm, Blue Heron Farm and Bella’s Kitchen, the outfit offers delivery to a variety of Houston ZIP codes.

Conceived as a way to provide fresh, organic, seasonal, local food, as well as increase awareness of the local food movement, the organization allows customers to hand-select items they want, or purchase the popular Local Box.

A lot of people love this because it changes weekly and is a chance to experience and experiment with a variety of items, says Aspen Lewis, Greenling’s Partner in Lime. (At press time, the Local Box featured Meyer lemons, green onions and purple hull peas, among other items).

Farm House Delivery (www.farmhousedelivery.com) brings produce, meats, eggs and other artisan foods to your door. Customers can create custom orders from an extensive list of categories, including Gluten Free Bakery, Farmstead Cheeses and Local Pantry. Each week, Farmhouse Delivery offers a different Lean Meat Bundle, Home Chef Pack and Juicing Bundle among its selections. These changing selections are variety packs, designed to help you experience the best in area produce.

Home Sweet Farm (www.homesweetfarm.com) doesn’t deliver to your door, but they do have weekly delivery to central locations throughout the region. This members-only CSA (community supported agriculture) organization provides its customers with 6-9 fresh-from-the-farm vegetables selections, for the price of $30 per week. The group also allows families to add meats and dairy items, if desired.

If you join the Houston Dairymaids Cheese of the Month Club (www. houstondairymaids.com), you’ll have two homemade cheeses sent to your house on the third Monday of every month. The Dairymaids source some of the finest hand-crafted cheeses from artisans throughout the state.

So, if you find you’re too busy to get out and go to the farmers markets, these groups help ensure you and your family can eat well, and support local businesses.

NEW LIVING

By John DeMers

In Houston – a city built on turning energy below the ground into fortunes above it, by whatever means necessary – words like local, organic, non-toxic and sustainable have had a harder-than-usual time getting into the home-design vocabulary. Over the past five years, however, a number of young entrepreneurs have read the tea leaves poured out elsewhere and encouraged Houstonians to get in touch with a life that is as much about tomorrow as it is today.

Many of those entrepreneurs have gathered, and still are gathering, around a retail operation known as New Living. At the showroom of that name serving West U from a fondly remembered hardware store and now at the separately branded paint store in the Heights, New Living and its founding visionary have become a clearing house for goods and services that may, one day at a time, point Houston away from its environmental excess of the past.

People come here for their homes the same way they go to Whole Foods for their foods, offers Jeff Kaplan, pondering all that he’s learned from steps and missteps over the past five years. Our singular challenge is educating Houston that when it comes to your health, and your family’s health, it’s not just about food. The reasons we want to eat local, organic and non-GMO foods are the same reasons we want to improve our quality of living at home.

According to Kaplan, New Living’s collection of products made in-house, like furniture crafted from reclaimed wood, or everything from solar panels to extra-large ceiling fans offered by a collection of partners, have slowly found an audience. Three distinct audiences, in fact. There are the people who need a healthier home – people suffering from severe allergies or asthma, for example. There are people driven by the social idealism of it all, who wish to be responsible stewards of the environment. And finally, more and more, there are those drawn by the artistry of the products themselves – as Kaplan puts it, because they’re sexy, because they’re beautiful.

When New Living began, as a single aisle within Wagner’s Hardware (then the oldest hardware store in Houston), it did so with only the vaguest notions of saving the planet one Houston at a time. Eventually, the store and its odd combination of products took over the entire Wagner’s space spouting a separatefeeling store next door called The Green Painter,

which sold non-toxic, plant-based paints.

Arguably the two most successful elements of New Living had something in common: the expensive ($3,000 and up) organic mattresses that kept customers faces away from the toxins traditionally found inside, and those paints. For this reason, The Green Painter recently became the brand above the door at the stylish New Living-operated storefront in the Heights.

Another reason for this physical separation – geographic, not philosophical – was the space as a needed showroom to host new products and new ideas, that up till now had been forced to live solely on the Internet. Kentucky-made Big Ass Fans, for instance, have a wingspan of 12 feet and can clearly make a difference in cooling Houston rooms. The solar power gathered by panels, which can be installed on just about any roof, certainly cut traditional fuelbased energy consumption.

It’s nice to have a retail store for solar, offers Richard Sherwood, a graduate of University of Houston’s entrepreneurship program before launching his Adaptive Solar Design.

There’s consumer faith in a storefront, more than in the Internet. This is a place you can come and see and learn. Plus, I think owning your own power plant on the roof of your house is a pretty awesome thing.

Other services abound at New Living, even those without a specific product to spread out, set up or hang down. Joseph Fowler, for instance, headquarters his Forest Design Build upstairs, ready to apply any and all these products and innovations in both new construction and renovation. And once a sustainable home is ready, many Houstonians fill it with the visually striking furniture crafted from local reclaimed wood by Cooper Meaders and his crew – who work both in the New Living space and occasionally on the sidewalk out front.

According to Kaplan, buying furniture built with wood that’s local and reclaimed – furniture that’s made by an artisan who’s standing right in front of you – is a part of the revolution taking place in small victories all around Houston.

People are starting to get it, he says. We

believe that people are ready to change the way they live, and we want to make it easy for them to know where to go. Today people want to do everything they know to do for their kids and for themselves. In 20 years, I believe we’ll all look back and not believe that we used to live the way we lived.

ENVIABLE CALIFORNIA RANCH STYLE

by Penny Jones

This magnificent custom-designed and built California Ranch-style estate has a full pier-and-beam foundation and occupies 1.5 acres in the exclusive, gated community of The Retreat at Sovereign Shores.

Custom-designed finishes, dramatic architectural details, generous room sizes, and elegant formal and informal spaces are surrounded and enhanced by stunning views of Sovereign Shores Lake.

Positioned at the head of a gated, crushed-granite drive, a stone porte-cochere provides entry to a large motor court and impressive six-car garage. Manicured, professionally-designed landscaping softens the home’s stone-clad exterior with lush gardens, flowing fountains and mature trees, all strategically planted to maximize interior views of the lake.

Custom-designed, glass front doors open into a foyer of grand proportions appointed with tumbled travertine floors, Chicago-brick accents and a double-height tower with a cedar-plank ceiling.

Formal and informal spaces blend seamlessly as the adjoining billiards room and home theater extend the entertaining possibilities. The billiards room offers a customdesigned, tin ceiling and multiple media centers; the home theater features tiered seating, a dramatic beamed ceiling and 3D television.

The enormous great room offers a double-height ceiling, Chicagobrick arches and accents, patterned pecan floor, oversized cast-stone fireplace, and expansive views of the lake through floor-to-ceiling French doors.

An impressive array of SubZero and Wolf stainless steel appliances, selected to please the most discriminating cook, distinguishes the elegant, spacious kitchen, a

perfect gathering place for casual entertaining. The extensive countertops and large island are surfaced with Uba Tuba granite, famous for its durability and intense color. A breakfast nook surrounded by windows and a well-equipped wine bar complete the space.

Double, concave, carved, barn-style doors guard the inviting master suite. The bedroom offers a juice bar, double walk-in closets with library storage and a private laundry station, and serene views of the terraces, pool and lake through tall French doors and windows.

Equipped with the amenities of a five-star spa, the sumptuous bathroom features an oversized shower with multiple shower sprays and a Japanese-style bathtub with ceiling faucet. A door in one of the master closets access a private garden, open to the stars, with a luxurious hot tub.

Discriminating buyers readily understand and appreciate the unprecedented level of lavish appointments and unique lifestyle advantages that accompany the purchase of an Al Ross home.

Every Al Ross Luxury Home comes with a 3-year home warranty on all items plus a 1-year concierge maintenance service for the house, pool and grounds.

The stunning home at 2240 Inwood is a superb example of Al Ross design and craftsmanship.

The breathtaking, double-height reception hall sets the home’s elegant tone with a massive fireplace and carved Calypso coral

mantelpiece, limestone-block walls, a Versailles-pattern stone floor, and a staircase with an intricate wrought iron and wood balustrade. Double archways open into a wide central cross hall, anchored at one end by a charming wet bar surfaced with artisan tiles. The hall connects the formal dining room, library, great room and kitchen.

An enormous arch marks the entrance to the dining room where tall French doors access a side patio.

The great room and kitchen form a unified space, elegantly appointed for entertaining gatherings of any size with a Versaillespattern stone floor; three sets of French doors to the loggia, terrace and pool; a coffered ceiling; and an impressive stone fireplace with artisan tile and barleysugar columns.

The professionally-equipped kitchen boasts a refectory table-style island with artisan tile accents, a recess for pull-up seating, an under-mount sink with a pot filler, and abundant storage. Appliances

The opulent master suite is housed on the second floor in its own wing. Solid double doors that ensure privacy open into a vestibule with a juice bar and a Versailles-pattern white oak floor which transitions into the bedroom, enhanced by a carved stone fireplace and tall French windows. No detail for ease and gracious living has been overlooked in the resort-style bathroom: elaborately inlaid marble floors and walls; a glass-front marble shower; furniture-quality sink cabinets with natural granite surfaces; two private water closets; and framed mirrored walls.

The refined master closet and dressing area offers the unobtrusive luxury and sensuous amenities of a select boutique with custom-designed white-oak paneling, large wardrobes and abundant shelving illuminated by LED lighting. The magnificent oval packing island boasts a Silestone surface, storage, electrical and USB outlets, and subtle LED underlighting.

Additional rooms on the second floor include two spacious bedroom suites with oak floors, custom-designed walk-in closets, and luxurious private bathrooms accented with stone and artisan tile. The staircase landing transitions into the game room with oak floors, a media cabinet, French windows and an adjacent full bathroom. Opposite the game room, sets of tall French doors access a deep balcony designed to serve as an outdoor living room with a wrought iron railing, enormous lead planters and a custom-designed, trellised canopy intended for bougainvillea.

A tall stucco privacy wall encloses the outdoor living area which includes a shady loggia, granite terrace, classicallystyled pool with fountain jets, and a fully-equipped summer kitchen and wet bar.
