SOPHISTICATED CELEBRATIONS

STARUSZKIEWICZ-FRASER ENGAGEMENT

Written by Caroline Mosey / Photographed by Ava Schultz Photography

Liz Staruszkiewicz, of Carmel, and Cameron Fraser, of Pendleton, were engaged on May 26, 2025. Liz is a physician assistant, and Cameron works at an engineering firm. The couple first met on Bumble, quickly discovering a shared sense of humor and a mutual love for dogs and movies. “Even though we’re eight years apart, we’re truly each other’s best friends,” says Liz. “We’re always being silly, laughing, and having fun together.” They got engaged in Venice Island, Florida—a place close to Liz’s heart, where her family has vacationed for years. Although Liz helped design her dream ring, she had no idea the proposal would happen on their trip. But behind the scenes, Cameron had collaborated with Reis-Nichols Jewelers to time the surprise perfectly. Knowing Liz’s lifelong love of horses, he even found a way to incorporate them into the proposal. The couple just purchased their first home in Westfield, and plans are underway for a 2026 wedding. sl 8

Denae Cowell, of Indianapolis, and Justin Sorrell, of Burlington, Vermont, were married on April 30, 2025, on the North Shore in Oahu, Hawaii. Justin’s parents are Ann and Jim Sorrell. “Justin and I met at the Rathskeller in downtown Indianapolis,” shares Denae. “We were connected through mutual friends.” They went on a date shortly after meeting and have been together since 2019. Denae works as a benefits account manager, and Justin is a lawyer. The couple got engaged at University Park near their home, and celebrated the occasion with dinner at their favorite restaurant, Tinker Street. Justin proposed with a custom ring from Reis-Nichols Jewelers. “I always wanted something that sparkled and gave a huge ‘wow,’ and my ring does just this,” says Denae. They were married on a special private getaway, just the two of them, and will hold a small reception for friends and family in July at Commission Row. sl 10 slmag.net

CASSIDY-COOK ENGAGEMENT Written by Caroline Mosey / Photographed by Sarah Higgins Photography

Kelsie Cassidy and Hayden Cook, both of Indianapolis, were engaged last September at a Lake Michigan beach. The bride is the daughter of Kevin Cassidy, and the groom is the son of Gina Cook and Stephanie McKenzie and Randy Cook. Kelsie is a registered nurse, and Hayden works as a car sales manager; the couple met on the dating app Bumble. “We love to camp, explore the outdoors, and take our two dogs with us everywhere we go,” says Kelsie. Their dogs even played a role in the beach proposal! They live in Avon and are planning to get married September 14, 2025, at The Sycamore at Mallow Run. sl slmag.net

CHERNOFF-WERNER WEDDING

Written by Caroline Mosey / Photographed by Sara Ackermann Photography

Emily Chernoff and Pete Werner, both native Hoosiers, were married on March 22, 2025, at Saint Joan of Arc Catholic Church. Their parents are Maureen Chernoff and Greg Chernoff, and Nancy and Greg Werner. The pair met at Cathedral High School, forming a strong foundation of friendship for five years before they began dating. Today, Pete plays professional football as a linebacker for the New Orleans Saints. After getting engaged March 5, 2024, in Bonita Springs, Florida, they held their dream wedding in Indianapolis, an event featured in People magazine. The wedding—attended by 300 guests—featured primarily yellow flowers with accents of green, blue, and pink, and bridesmaids wore stunning dresses from Bella Bridesmaids Indianapolis. To honor Emily’s Irish roots, a bagpiper led the recessional and grand exit from the church, followed by a reception at Scottish Rite Cathedral. Guests were treated to beignets as a special nod to New Orleans, where Pete plays football. Several of his current and former teammates from the Saints, as well as Ohio State, were in attendance, and Emily threw a hand-painted football in lieu of the traditional bouquet toss. The couple even found a way to include their dog, Tony, in the evening from afar, serving special drinks named after him. Emily’s father surprised the pair with a slideshow of photos that showed the couple growing up over the years, capping it off with a moving speech. Emily and Pete agree the night wouldn’t have been possible without the help of their amazing wedding planner and designer, Betsy Eibling of IndyGigz. “Our wedding was truly the best day and night of our lives, filled with so much love.” sl 12 slmag.net

HAASE-SCOTT WEDDING

Written by Caroline Mosey / Photographed by Jessica Strickland Photography

McKenna Haase, of Des Moines, Iowa, and Zavier Scott, of Killeen, Texas, were married on March 17, 2025, at the Indiana Roof Ballroom. Their parents are Kelly and Kevin Haase and Detra and Nate Scott. It was professional sports that first brought them together in Indianapolis; Zavier plays in the NFL, and McKenna is a racecar driver. But it was their shared faith that sparked—and then deepened— their relationship. They met when a mutual trainer invited McKenna to church, connecting again later at a professional athlete ministry conference. “Shortly after, we began dating,” says McKenna, and their relationship grew from there. On July 23, 2024, Zavier proposed to McKenna along the canal in Indianapolis with a ring he helped to design, featuring a natural diamond and a ruby, plus the couple’s initials and an engraving of Proverbs 31. Their wedding included 130 friends and family members, and Broadway’s Isaiah Bailey, known for his role as Mufasa in “The Lion King,” performed at the ceremony and sang for the couple’s first dance. Zavier tossed the garter strapped to a football from the venue’s balcony window—one of the many moments that reflected the couple’s unique story. For them, the wedding was more than a celebration of love—it was a testament to waiting well and choosing a partner wisely. “I chose to wait for the right person,” McKenna reflected in a message she posted to Facebook, adding that their relationship is “truly a gift that we intend to use to glorify God for the rest of our lives.” sl 14 slmag.net

Caroline Parent, of Katy, Texas, and Christian Greenwalt, of Carmel, were engaged on April 30, 2025, in Curaçao. Their parents are Jennifer and Jeff Parent and Pamela and Jeffrey Greenwalt. The couple met during their freshman year at the College of Charleston in 2017. “We were introduced through sorority sisters of Caroline’s and immediately clicked,” says Christian. Toward the end of college, they decided to go their separate ways. However, those paths soon crossed again. In 2022, Christian visited Caroline in Denver, where she was living, and they rekindled their relationship—this time for good. Now, Caroline is completing a master’s degree in Integrated Marketing Communications with plans to work in the public relations and marketing communications industry, while Christian works as a real estate developer for Sansone Group. Christian proposed on the beach at Baoase Luxury Resort, surprising Caroline with a custom engagement ring featuring a stunning oval diamond. “We’re both nomadic at heart and long to see different cultures and parts of the world,” says Caroline. Christian’s island proposal fully captured this aspect of their lives together. “It perfectly combined our love for each other and our love of traveling.” sl 16 slmag.net

Lena Grunloh, of Effingham, Illinois, and Dirk Kuehler, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, were engaged on April 4, 2025, in Maui. Their parents are Jean Anne and Paul Highland, and Ted Grunloh; and Lisa and Ken Willis, and the late Steve Kuehler. The couple met on a dating app nearly seven years ago, but neither was looking for a serious relationship at the time. Years later, the two reconnected for a second “first date,” and their relationship grew from there. Lena is a physician associate, and Dirk works as a financial planner, and the two live near Broad Ripple. Dirk proposed to Lena on a private beach, just as the sun was setting. Their wedding is planned for August 23, 2025, and they look forward to enjoying the day—and sharing their love—with family and friends. sl 18 slmag.net

ART AT HOME

Matting and Framing: Meet Warren O’Connell Written by Jean Easter

Warren O’Connell serendipitously wandered into my studio about 12 years ago, on a whim that he might find a job as a graphic designer. It was a Monday, and as the studio is closed on Mondays, I wasn’t available to meet with him. But there was something special about Warren, so I asked him to come back on Wednesday. That’s the day our 12-year association began.

As mentioned, Warren has a degree in graphic design from the Art Institute of Indianapolis. He has designed client signs, walls, posters, and logos. By incorporating color, shape, fonts, and his sense of imagination, he has been instrumental in satisfying clients with difficult projects that most frame shops wouldn’t tackle. For Warren, no project is without a solution— and a beautiful one at that.

Heading up the matting and framing department at Easter Conservation Services, Warren’s primary responsibilities are listening to clients to determine their vision, and then presenting options that deliver on it with excellence. He knows when he hears the satisfied “ahh” that it’s the right frame and mat. When clients come in looking for guidance, Warren begins with a concept and builds from there. Asking thoughtful questions

about placement, style, favorite color, and what matches the art, a selection is made effortlessly.

Always wanting to improve his craft, Warren deepens his knowledge by traveling to places like Detroit, Chicago, New York, Nashville, Rome, and Florence to observe methods museums use, incorporating new styles into his own work.

One of his biggest accomplishments is matting and framing eight Ansel Adams photographs for New York Health and Hospitals. The project was done on site, and all materials were flown in. There was no margin for error in measurement in the mats, glass, or frames. Instead of the project taking a week to complete, as originally planned, Warren finished in three days thanks to his close attention to detail and insistence on making sure every last facet was attended to.

There’s nothing that Warren hasn’t been able to creatively frame, whether it’s tiles, jerseys, or golf clubs, to silver necklaces and even wedding dresses. Building frames and cases is never a problem; it’s a challenge he welcomes. I’m personally excited to see how the future unfolds for our business with the exceptional service and expertise Warren provides for our clients. sl For more information, visit easterconservation.com. slmag.net

From the Publisher & Editor-in-Chief

Regular readers of this column know that I’ve had a bit of an adjustment, to put it mildly, with our daughter having headed off to college two years ago. Admittedly, I’ve been all over the map: outwardly thrilled that our little bird left the nest for Chicago, proud that she is confidently spreading her wings in a new city and environment, while also secretly (and sometimes not-so-secretly) wishing she lived a little closer to home.

After a bout of homesickness early in her sophomore year, we wondered if she might be feeling the same way.

(Because who wouldn’t want to spend more time with their parents during their college years, right?) But after winter break, she went through rush and joined a sorority, and we could hear the happiness in her voice. She was making new connections and finding her place, just like we knew she would.

Realizing that we’re entering a new chapter as a family, my wife and I decided to change up our Passover tradition this year and create a new way of celebrating with our two children.

Serendipitously, we saw that one of our favorite restaurants in Chicago was offering Passover dinner the first two nights of the holiday (truly beshert, or “meant to be” in Yiddish, if anything ever was), and so we decided to celebrate there. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Mon Ami Gabi is truly one of my all-time favorite restaurants, and I’m a sucker for anything French. (If I could publish Sophisticated Living Paris, I’d do it in a heartbeat.)

Passover lasts eight days, and Jews traditionally observe one or two Seder meals during the holiday.

This year, like last year, we spent the first night at home with lots of friends and family—some Jewish, some not. Then we headed to Chicago for “part two.”

I wondered if it would feel strange to have Passover dinner in a different city, in a restaurant (I imagined my late mother’s horror), but it couldn’t have been lovelier. The food was sublime, with the brisket even rivaling my wife’s. All the traditional favorites were there: matzo ball soup, chopped liver, gefilte fish (an acquired taste, admittedly), potato latkes with homemade applesauce, and a decadent flourless chocolate cake. We loved the meal (though I did miss my usual escargot with baguette, but that would have meant eating bread, which is forbidden during the holiday).

In talking with the restaurant’s executive sous chef, Zach Sperber, we learned that he makes the gefilte fish, the latkes, everything, the way he remembers them from his childhood. And although we love entertaining and sharing our traditions with friends and family, it was delightful to settle into the classic bistro’s invitingly charming dining room for a carefree dinner, just the four of us.

There’s something refreshing about establishing new traditions, and in realizing that while some things won’t stay the same as our children leave the nest, our family can still grow and evolve. We’re already looking forward to Passover in Chicago next year, and I’ve heard that Mon Ami Gabi is offering a Rosh Hashanah dinner too, so we’re planning to attend that as well. Now if we can only convince them to do a Chinese menu at Christmas…

NEAR NORTH MASS BOULDER

shindigindy.com

The resort's new oceanfront restaurant, Si Si, is led by acclaimed Executive Chef Rajasekar Ravindran in collaboration with renowned Mexican chef Elia Herrera.

A SHORE THING

A new era of luxury awaits at The Palms Turks and Caicos following an $18m renovation.

Written by Bridget Cottrell Taking sides in the ongoing "battle" between Airbnb and traditional hotel accommodations isn't always black and white. In my case, while I appreciate the extra elbow room typically offered in Airbnb properties, when I am on vacation, I want amenities like housekeeping, room service, and security. On a recent trip to The Palms Turks and Caicos on Providenciales (thepalmstc.com), I experienced the best of both worlds: oceanfront home-away-fromhome comfort on one of the world's most famous beaches with a plethora of high-end perks, including on-call butler service.

Set on 12 lushly landscaped acres, The Palms Turks and Caicos, which opened in 2005, recently unveiled an $18 million renovation in

advance of its 20th anniversary. Its 72 one, two, and three-bedroom suites, averaging over 1,500 square feet of living space, are spread among five three-story buildings with Barbadian coral facades and "Messel" green paint on balcony railings that distinguish The Palms from its neighbors. A barrier reef about a mile offshore creates calm and shallow waters. Studying the property while bobbing in the Atlantic, I was struck by how the woven rooftops of the new beach bar/ restaurant and infinity pool area resembled the contours of a woman's floppy beach hat. It's even more stunning at night when a thoughtful lighting design highlights the unique resin-over-steel configurations that took no less than 20 iterations to get the shape just right. slmag.net

Suites at The Palms average more than 1,500 square feet.

During the recent renovation, EoA Design, RAD Architecture Inc., and Hartling Construction referred to the dossier of mid-century decorator Oliver Messel. Messel's penchant for escapist nostalgia and fantasy was shaped by his time designing for the ballet and theatre before turning his discerning eye to setting the stage at Caribbean homes for well-heeled clientele. His signature style blurred the lines between inside and out, and he utilized architecture and proportion to frame views and enrapture an audience in a way that no stage production could. The inside is always meant to support the view, and at The Palms, the sightline even in garden-facing rooms is scene-stealing. Messel's influence is evident from the moment of arrival, where the soaring peaked roof of the open-air lobby frames a manicured courtyard garden bursting with color.

Spacious guest accommodations boast balconies or expansive terraces, marble floors, vaulted ceilings, custom-made mahogany furnishings, kitchens with classic cabinetry and Viking appliances, and a primary bath with a tub larger than some skiffs I've sailed in. With a focus on biophilic design, rooms are coastal inspired but not kitsch, courtesy of elegant materials like linen and sea grass and classic motifs, from Greek Key on the carpet to raised embroidery on upholstered pieces.

34 slmag.net

Suites boast biophilic-centric design with subtle coastal influences.

As lovely as they are, no one comes to the beach to linger inside.

As such, the heart of the resort is its reimagined pool deck—an inviting oceanfront serpentine infinity pool with a large swim-up bar serving craft cocktails, and cozy lounge areas that include hidden alcoves outfitted with stylish day beds. Matching the energy of this sprawling entertainment area is the resort's new oceanfront restaurant, Si Si, led by acclaimed Executive Chef Rajasekar Ravindran in collaboration with renowned Mexican chef Elia Herrera. Oceanfront guac and a spicy margarita? Sí, por favor!

For a day on the water, guests need only walk a few hundred feet from their rooms to catch a charter boat through Caicos Dream Tours. From there, the possibilities are endless; in our case, it involved visiting remote cays, Noah's Ark floating tiki bar, and snorkeling (where I learned that a "reef dolphin" is ship-speak for a shark).

If your idea of taking the waters is slightly different, the 25,000 square foot The Spa at The Palms is a destination in its own right.

Amenities include a spacious gym, yoga studio with complimentary classes three times a week, and standalone treatment rooms that appear to float on a tranquil reflecting pool. The Spa was the first property on Turks & Caicos to offer a HydraFacial, and they continue to be the standard bearer with offerings that are both leading-edge (NeoLifting facials) and time-tested (Ayurvedic).

At Da Conch Shack on Blue Hills beach, just west of Grace Bay Beach you can have your conch, pulled fresh from the ocean, in myriad ways, accompanied by a signature rum punch.

In recent years, Turks & Caicos has gained notoriety as a foodie destination, and The Palms and its sister property, The Shore Club, have played a pivotal role in this. After savoring the sunset with a signature sip from L’Attitude Bar at The Palms, we decamped to the garden-side terrace at Parallel23, where the beautifully plated cuisine mirrored the elegantly attired guests.

Take advantage of a complimentary shuttle to The Shore Club, located on quiet Long Bay Beach; on the horizon, you can spy the grounded wreck of the freighter ship La Famille Express that became entrenched a little more than two miles off the shore during Hurricane Frances in 2004. A first for me, the Japanese-Peruvian

fusion cuisine served at The Shore Club's SUI-REN restaurant was as delightfully intriguing as its chic Aman-like environs. The terrific interior theatrics continue at Almond Tree, serving Southern Comfort food, and at the aptly named Rope Bar, the centerpiece of which is a central sculptural ceiling fixture crafted of marine rope.

Without the right staff, even the most stunningly appointed property will fall short. At The Shore Club and The Palms, the attentive, upbeat, and caring staff are the cherry on top of an elevated experience, solidifying its place as a premier destination that prioritizes modern hospitality alongside a deep reverence for the island's natural beauty and heritage. sl slmag.net

HITTING THE MARK A NYC icon you don't want to leave.

Written by Bridget Cottrell / Photos courtesy of The Mark In big cities like New York, elevator chit-chat isn't the norm. So, as I stared ahead at my reflection in the mirrored jewel-box-like space, I was taken aback when my temporary companion stabbed at the silence by asking, "Isn't this place just the best?" My enthusiastic agreement, as outsized as her statement bag, elicited more effusiveness and another question: "Have you seen the 'Le Shop' booklet in the rooms? I am obsessed." And with that, she was gone, even though the sweet scent of her Bond No. 9 New York parfum lingered as I continued the ascent to my room.

Marvel-inspiring moments are de rigueur at NYC's The Mark Hotel (themarkhotel.com), where even the smallest detail is treated as a brand-boosting opportunity. Part of an Upper East Side luxury hotel golden triangle with The Carlyle and The Surrey, The Mark differentiates itself from its peers with a unique blend of historic charm, impeccable service and exclusive experiences, modern amenities, and the largest hotel penthouse suite in the United States.

I was smitten from the moment I crossed the threshold. A massive arrangement of blush-pink lilies imbued the space with the sweet scent of spring. Orange is The Mark's signature color (and one of my favorites), and it pops against the striking stripes of black and white marble flooring in the lobby. Moderately scaled, the Jacques Grange-designed space feels more like a grand salon than a lobby, and it's not uncommon to find guests 38 slmag.net

lingering on custom furniture Grange designed in collaboration with friend and fellow Frenchman Pierre Passebon.

In public spaces and guest rooms, Grange, whose client roster is chock-full of fashion icons, art collectors, and cultural figures, manages to deftly balance drama and deeply personal spaces that never feel too precious. It's little wonder that the flamboyant A-listers emerging from the lobby en route to the recent Met Gala (the Museum is just four blocks away) seemed perfectly in step with the avant-garde surroundings. General Manager Etienne Haro says that on gala night, The Mark is "the starriest hotel lobby in the world."

The landmark building, designed in the Renaissance Revival style, was constructed in 1927 as residences. The guest accommodations are spacious, ranging from 500 square feet for a superior room to the expansive 10,000-square-foot penthouse suite, which features a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace.

The current ownership acquired the property in 2006 and enlisted Grange to lead a comprehensive renovation in 2009. The designer commissioned several notable international artists and artisans, including Karl Lagerfeld, Ron Arad, Eric Schmitt, Paul Mathieu, Mattia Bonetti, Vladimir Kagan, Rachel Howard, and Todd Eberle, to create exclusive furnishings and artwork for The Mark collection.

French designer Jacques Grange envisioned the black and white striped floors that have become synonymous with The Mark.

The Mark Penthouse includes a private 2,500 square-foot rooftop terrace overlooking Central Park.

The Mark Bar

Jacques Grange collaborated with Parisian antiquaire, Pierre Passebon, to commission objets d’art, furniture and lighting fixtures resulting in special design moments throughout public and private spaces.

The building offers 106 guest rooms and 47 suites. Star power extends to the culinary options, with a restaurant and bar

by Jean Georges Vongerichten (themarkrestaurantnyc.com) and the NYC outpost of Caviar Kaspia (caviarkaspiany.com), the famous Parisian restaurant. Other amenities include a Frédéric Fekkai salon (fekkai.com/pages/the-mark-hotel-salon), shoe care services from John Lobb, and a very well-equipped gym.

Grange unveiled The Mark's piece de resistance, "The Mark Penthouse," in 2015. Spanning the 16th and 17th floors, the exquisite space boasts five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a great room, a library, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen, and four fireplaces. The private terrace overlooking the Manhattan skyline ups the ante on over-the-top in winter when it's transformed into a private skating rink exclusively for penthouse guests.

Those without a penthouse pocketbook still sleep in style, with guestrooms and suites outfitted in a serene color palette of light cream and celadon with grasscloth-clad walls, luxurious 40 slmag.net

marble baths, and La Bottega toiletries. Bespoke chrometrimmed vanities and showers in the suites call to mind the lines of a covetable Officine Gullo kitchen. Large windows bathe the rooms in natural light, with the interplay of light and shadow becoming its own design element in the ethereal environs.

One of my favorite touches is the unique illustrations by JeanPhilippe Delhomme found on everything from drink coasters and postcards in the rooms to complimentary bikes and a paddleball set available for purchase from Le Shop.

The entirety of the hotel is pet-friendly, and there are scores of signature pet amenities, including a doggy dessert menu conceived by Vongerichten. Haute dogs of another type are offered from a chic cart stationed adjacent to the portico during warmer months. Grab your dog (haute or not) and a The Mark-branded remote-control sailboat to launch at the nearby Conservatory Water in Central Park. The hotel can also arrange a bespoke picnic basket and transport you to the

A big kid boat experience is available on The Mark's 70-foot Herreshoff Sailboat, one of the last in existence, that can accommodate up to 25 guests for private charter in New York Harbor. A unique partnership with the Metropolitan Museum allows guests to work with The Mark's concierge to arrange a one-hour exhibitspecific after-hours tour.

Back on property, the seductive and cozy Jean Georges Vongerichten bar boasts a 70s vibe and was buzzy, even early on a Monday night with a crowd that mirrored the eclectic décor.

High-style and high-level cuisine are on offer at the adjacent restaurant, where among the globally influenced offerings, I was inspired to craft a worldly meal with spicy tuna tartar, a pizza blanketed in black truffles, and a ginger-infused margarita.

During breakfast service, the skylight in the main dining room allowed me to linger longer than usual to appreciate the design,

including dining chairs with the hourglass figure of an ingénue and lighted Mondrian-esque panels.

At Caviar Kaspa, Grange leaned into the inviting atmosphere of its Parisian sister, which opened in 1927. Here, old-world elegance co-mingles with The Mark's Uptown aesthetic. Hallmarks of the original dining room on Place de la Madeleine remain, namely iconic blue tablecloths and wood paneled walls (which Grange updated with mirrored insets). Emerald green mohair banquets line the perimeter, and ambient lighting by L'Observatoire International creates a rich contrast to the black marble bar.

I was skeptical when I was told that I must have the baked potato. Here, the humble spud is elevated to new heights when twice baked and topped with Imperial Baeri caviar (there is also a vegetarian option made from liquefied and spherized truffle).

A HIGH-PERFORMANCE TRIBUTE TO THE PAST

The 911 Spirit 70 is the third 911 in a series of limited-production Porsche Heritage Design models.

Edited by Matthew Cottrell Following in the footsteps of the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition and the 911 Sport Classic and limited to 1,500 examples globally, the Porsche 911 Spirit 70 pays homage to the 1970s and early 1980s while taking advantage of Porsche's latest high-performance powertrain and chassis technology. Its basis is the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet with rear-wheel drive, offering a high-voltage system, with eTurbo, electric motor, and 3.6-liter flat-six engine developing a total system output of 532 hp and 449 lb.-ft. of torque.

The striking exterior aesthetic begins with Olive Neo, a rich, green paint color created especially for the 911 Spirit 70. Sport Classic center locking wheels, 20-inch in the front and 21-inch in the rear, bear accents in Bronzite, a gold-grey color that complements the body. A cabriolet top and windshield frame finished in black lends further emphasis to the body and wheels.

46 slmag.net

"The Heritage Design models occupy a special position within our product strategy from a design perspective," says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche. "The limited-edition sports cars visualize what makes the Porsche brand so special. Every design of our vehicles ties in with our history – and these vehicles go one step further. They show how we reinterpret historical design elements in a state-of-the-art sports car."

A trio of decorative stripes run parallel with the hood with elongated "911" letters reminiscent of decals used in the 1970s. Decorative side graphics with Porsche lettering and a Lollipop (a type of racing seat designed in the mid-1970s) in satin black with an individual start number hearken to Porsche motorsport heritage.

The hood is decorated with a special version of the Porsche crest nearly identical to the 1963 version. Meanwhile, gold-plated

"Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur" badges on the front fenders help distinguish this model as a special model within the limitededition Heritage Design product portfolio. At the rear, a Porsche Heritage badge rests on the engine grill.

Porsche used special fabric upholstery to characterize the first two Heritage Design models. That theme continues with the 911 Spirit 70, where the seat centers and several other interior elements sport a black and Olive Neo Pasha pattern in a combination of textile and flock yarn. Different-sized, intentionally arranged rectangles create the visual of movement in a pattern like a checkered flag flying in the wind.

The Pasha pattern covers the seat centers of the 18-way Sport Seats Plus, the door panel inserts, and even the inside of the glove compartment. Pasha decorative inlays on the seat backrests and the dashboard trim are also available as no-cost options. Aside from

the Pasha accents, the car features a leather interior upholstered in Basalt Black Club leather with deviated stitching in Olive Neo. The instrument cluster combines historic design with state-ofthe-art technology. The high-resolution 12.65-inch display has white pointers and scale lines in analog format. Green digits resemble vintage Porsche sports cars, and the model lettering is elegantly integrated into the fully digital tachometer. White pointers and green digits also characterize the special version of the Sport Chrono stopwatch.

Porsche Design has created a high-quality chronograph available exclusively for buyers of the latest collector's items. With numerous details, it is visually reminiscent of the 911 Spirit 70.

For example, the shiny black Pasha pattern on the dial derives inspiration from the seat centers of its motorized role model. sl The 911 Spirit 70 is expected to begin arriving in U.S. Porsche Centers in late summer 2025 with an MSRP of $240,000.

Champagne ages in cellars more than 100 feet underground at Leclerc Briant in Epernay, France.

I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S HAVING A wine and travel journalist shares some of her recent favorite finds.

Written by Vicki Denig Greetings, Sophisticated Living readers! As a wine and travel journalist and Certified Specialist of Wine who splits time between New York and Paris, when I am not writing, my favorite thing to do is scour the globe in search of the most interesting, delicious bottles I can find. Read on to learn about a handful of recent discoveries that I've enjoyed, as well as a bit about their stories, what they taste like, and the settings in which I enjoyed them (and how I think you'll best relish them, too!)

Champagne Leclerc Briant Réserve Extra Brut (Champagne, France – SRP: $59.99) Champagne is always a good idea, and when it's made by Leclerc Briant, all the better. Lucien Leclerc founded this well-established house in 1872, and today, it is recognized as one of the region's leading pioneers of organic and biodynamic farming. The estate owns 14 hectares of vineyards—the majority of which are designated as Premier and Grand Cru—and vinifies a handful of premium Champagnes, including this Réserve Extra Brut, which is made from a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier. Prior to release, the wine is aged for an impressive three years in bottle, resulting in a complex and textured wine layered with flavors of lemon, green apple, and lightly toasted brioche. I popped this bottle with a friend at Le Barthélemy (which is owned by the same hospitality company as Leclerc Briant) on a recent trip to St. Barts and can confirm that, as the saying goes, there truly is never a bad time for Champagne.

Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Chardonnay 2022 (Burgundy, France – SRP: $40.00) Based in the village of Nuits-Saint-Georges, Domaine Faiveley is one of the most prominent estates in Burgundy. In addition to boasting nearly 200 years of history in the region, the family is also one of its largest vineyard holders, comprising an impressive 134 hectares from the Côte de Nuits to the Côte Chalonnaise. As of 2005, the family's seventh generation spearheads the estate, the brother-sister duo of Erwan and Eve Faiveley, whose combined enthusiasm and energy have brought the estate to new heights. Their entry-level Bourgogne Blanc is an excellent gateway into the Faiveley house style; on the palate, the wine is generous, balanced, and marked by notes of yellow apple, citrus, and a hint of vanilla. I enjoyed a glass of this wine without food at the newly opened Café Commerce on New York's Upper East Side, but rest assured, it would shine alongside roasted chicken or creamy pasta sauces. As wines from Burgundy continue to climb in price, this bottling remains an exceptional value.

Martin Woods The Rocks Syrah 2022 (Walla Walla Valley, Oregon – SRP: $53.00) Tucked away in Oregon's Coast Range foothills, Martin Woods is the brainchild of Evan Martin, a passionate winemaker focused on creating elegant wines marked by a signature sense of place.

Although the Willamette Valley is best known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this cuvée from Martin showcases the immense

potential for serious, structured Syrah from the region—and the proof is in the bottle. Crafted using 50% whole clusters, the wine is aged for 12 months in a combination of 228L and 400L barrels, followed by six months in tank prior to bottling.

Perfumed and energetic, this multifaceted wine exudes notes of red fruits, olive tapenade, and violets, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity leading to a persistent finish. The wine's lifted aromatics and floral-tinged freshness evoke thoughts of the Northern Rhône yet solidify the fact that the Willamette Valley can certainly excel in producing restrained, well-balanced expressions of this savory grape variety.

Sadie Family Palladius 2022 (Swartland, South Africa – SRP: $129.99) Eben Sadie is deemed by many as one of the greatest winemakers in all of South Africa. After working at wineries around the globe, he established Sadie Family Wines back in 1999, which is known as one of the country's most terroir-focused estates. Eben is passionately enthusiastic about the Swartland and fervently believes it to be one of the greatest places to make authentic, thought-provoking wine in the world. Palladius is made from a kitchen sink blend of white varieties (Chenin Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Verdelho, Roussanne, Palomino, and more) vinified and aged in a combination of amphora, concrete, and used oak foudres. Notes of juicy stone fruit, green apple skin,

flint, and crushed stones lead to a lasting, memorable finish. I recently tasted this alongside two other wines with a friend in New York, and this was the bottle we kept going back to.

IWA Five' Assemblage 5' Junmai Daiginjo Sake (Toyama, Japan – SRP: $169.95) I know what you're thinking—sake isn't wine, but I'd be remiss not to highlight one of the most exciting bottles I've tasted so far this year (and worry not, there is indeed a strong wine link attached to it!) Founded in 2019, IWA is the latest venture from Richard Geoffroy, the former chef de cave at Dom Pérignon. After 28 years of making prestigious bubbly, Geoffroy followed his heart to the Toyama region of Japan, where he now applies his expert blending skills to sake production. Assemblage 5 is the fifth and most current iteration of the brand's flagship sake and is marked by a soft, silky palate laden with flavors of plum, raspberry, rose petal, and jasmine.

My recommendation? Pair this exceptional bottle with cuisines beyond standard Japanese offerings, as its food-pairing versatility can go beyond these limits. sl Vicki Denig is a wine / travel journalist based between New York and Paris. Her work regularly appears in various industry publications, including Decanter, Food & Wine, and WineSearcher. In addition to journalism, Vicki also works with a handful of wine-focused clients, including Paris Wine Company, High Road Wine & Spirits, and more. When not writing, she enjoys running, indoor cycling classes, petting dogs, and popping bottles on her rooftop with friends.

A LIGHT TOUCH

How a frustrating search for the "perfect" lampshade prompted one woman to start a shady small business.

Written by Bridget Cottrell / Photos by Rachel Sitarz, courtesy of Admiral Landings Designs "I've chosen a pretty crazy life, but it's worth it," said Ashlee Barclay.

The former public school teacher and mother of three daughters, aged two, six, and 10, homeschool the older two while "bouncing back and forth" between homes in Louisville, Kentucky, and Lafayette, Indiana, which she shares with her husband, Chris Barclay, the running back coach at the University of Louisville.

Necessity is said to be the mother of invention, and this was undoubtedly true in Ashlee's case. Having recently moved into a custom-built home in Lafayette following the birth of their youngest daughter and amid a social media fast, Ashlee began surveying the sconces and lampshades in her house. "I'd never really paid much attention before, but they were boring," she recalled.

Jumping online, everything that came up in her search results was from the UK, with shipping that was either cost-prohibitive or impossible. How ironic that a search for something to diffuse light illuminated a light-bulb moment, leading Ashlee to found Admiral Landings Designs in January 2024— the company's name commemorating the neighborhood where the idea was born.

Ashlee says that being an educator means remaining curious and having a willingness to try new things, a skill set she transferred to learning how to create custom lampshades and operate a small business. "It all started as a little creative itch that I wanted to scratch," she recounted. To master the craft, she began by poring over books, blogs, and YouTube videos before moving on to an online handsewn lampshade masterclass with CreateAcademy to fine-tune her skill set. "Teaching myself how to sew unlocked so many things for me on a personal level," said Ashlee, who jokes that she wouldn't gift some of her earliest creations to even her worst enemy.

When she felt confident in her abilities, Ashlee signed up for a program with SCORE Indianapolis, which provides free 50 slmag.net

business mentoring from experienced advisors. Her mentor shared her business idea with a friend in the interior design industry, who confirmed Ashlee's proof of concept.

With the business particulars in order, Ashlee said things quickly ramped up from there via word of mouth, social media, and a story in the trade publication Designers Today. From the start, Ashlee said she's "bootstrapped" the business, citing oldfashioned hustle and a supportive husband as key elements to her success.

All Admiral Landings' lampshades are made to order, with eighty percent being entirely custom designs. "I love working with clients to bring their vision to life," said Ashlee, who uses upholstery grade fabrics for her creations. While she says that most lampshades in the UK use silk, linen, and cotton, she prefers bolder options afforded by utilizing fabrics such as leather and corduroy. "It's fun and more millennial and not so elderly looking," she explained. She collaborates with her eldest daughter to transform fabric remnants into privacy pouches that they donate to women experiencing homelessness.

Ashlee creates both hardback and softback lampshades. The former involves bonding fabrics to a durable laminate backing.

Ashlee said that while hardback styles are what's the norm in the United States, she prefers the blank slate of the softback, which involves stretching the fabric directly over a metal frame.

While she admits to being a glutton for punishment and "pulling some really late nights," Ashlee says that having her daughters see what she is building is priceless. "I love showing them what is possible if you set a goal and work hard; I am building a legacy that I hope to pass on to them." sl For more information visit admirallandingsdesigns.com.

HAUTE COUTURE WITHTheHORSEPOWER BMW Concept Speedtop Edited by Matthew Cottrell / Photos courtesy of BMW

At the recent Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, a world-famous gathering of historic vehicles on the shores of Italy's Lake Como, the BMW Group presented the limited-production series BMW Concept Speedtop. Sharing its eye-catching form language with the BMW Skytop, the generous interior invites for weekend getaways for two. High-quality materials, the focus on every detail, and the stylistic connection between exterior and interior are a testament to its true craftsmanship.

"A true BMW exudes dynamism and elegance even when standing still," says Adrian van Hooydonk, Head of BMW Group Design. "And that's also the case with our new concept car. First of all, the BMW Concept Speedtop is characterized by its profile.

It is very unique in the automotive industry. In this way, we have created an exclamation mark for our entire lineup of vehicles, especially for the Touring models."

The pronounced V-shape of the front end, its shark-nose design, the slim front lights, and the illuminated kidney grille give the BMW Concept Speedtop an unmistakable presence. The continuation of the central spline from the bonnet over the roof to the rear spoiler gives the car a dynamic Touring profile. The color gradient on the roof, moving from "Floating Sunstone Maroon" to "Floating 56 slmag.net

Sundown Silver," accentuates this shape. The car's broad shoulders and two-tone, 14-spoke wheels enhance the athletic design.

Skillfully crafted, the interior's traditional brogue-style details accentuate the leather-trimmed surfaces and emphasize the fine craftsmanship on display, due in part to a collaboration with the traditional Italian manufacturer Schedoni, known for producing exclusive and high-quality leather goods by hand.

There is a marked continuity outside and inside with the two-tone color and material concept.

The exterior's roof spline is mirrored as a light beam in the two-tone leather headliner, providing an atmospheric, indirect illumination. A light beam also illuminates the luggage compartment, which is divided into two sections. This allows large items of luggage to be stowed inside for multi-day trips. Two storage areas with leather straps behind the seats provide space for two of Schedoni's made-to-measure bags. A matching weekend bag can also be accommodated in the trunk.

The concept car's engine ensures it scales the heights not only in terms of design but also performance. It is fitted with BMW's most powerful V8 engine. sl Limited to a production series of 70 units, the BMW Concept Speedtop is now available for order.

MAY THE FJORD BE WITH YOU

The force is strong with Havila Voyages, where the environment and sustainability top the agenda when delivering luxurious and eco-friendly voyages along the Norwegian coast.

Written by Bridget Cottrell There was more than a bit of grumbling as our hunting party huddled in the frozen temps at 1:30 in the morning at the docks in the tiny fishing village of Mehamn, Norway. What are we doing?

Whose idea was this? Thankfully, an eternal optimist in our group quickly quelled the bad energy bubbling among us. "Guys, this is going to be amazing!"

After suiting up in multiple layers and receiving a crash course on operating a snowmobile, we headed off into the Nordic night to stalk our prey. We were near the Norway-Russian border, although in this pitch-blackness, I could make out little of the landscape except for the reflective markers along the route that shone like the eyes of a deer in headlights. Ours was a bloodless pursuit; the only ammunition required was a full charge of our cellphone batteries.

As we approached what our guides called "nowhere," and cut the lights on our snowmobiles, our target emerged from the

darkness, and we were face-to-face with the Northern Lights in all their glory. While this wasn't the first time we'd seen the light on our northbound voyage aboard Havila Capella, it was certainly the most sublime, eliciting everything from tears to cheers among our group, many of whom lay on their backs in the snow to marvel at the dreamscape. It was so dark and quiet that some said they could hear auroral buzzing during the most intense, firework-like bursts of light.

While we were ashore for our 15-mile snowmobile journey, the ship continued along its route, picking us up in Kjøllefjord, another small fishing village. Havila Voyages' ships are a catalyst for economic and cultural growth in these small fishing villages, helping to preserve their unique identity, supporting the livelihoods of their residents, and offering a crucial transportation link for locals, connecting them to larger towns and cities, enabling access to goods, services, and opportunities. slmag.net

Chatting with our guide, we asked him how he keeps his spirits up during the long, dark Norwegian winters. Without hesitation, and in a "Keep Calm and Carry On" spirit rivaling the Brits' historic resilience and positive outlook in the face of adversity, he took out his phone to show us a video from his patio taken last summer in which he was drinking a glass of wine as reindeer grazed within arm's length. "It's getting to have moments like this that make it easy," he said.

My adventure began a few days earlier in Tromso (visittromso.no), a major cultural hub above the Arctic Circle with a landscape of mountains, fjords, and islands. The walkable city has a youthful, multi-national vibe thanks to UiT the Arctic University of Norway, the world's northernmost university (the "most northernmost" designation also extends to Mack Brewery and McDonald's). The city boasts several small museums, a cable car, an Arctic Cathedral, and loads of trolls who populate gift shops designed to lure cruise passengers. A brisk walk across the 62 slmag.net

Tromsø Bridge, spanning the Tromsøysundet straight between Tromsdalen on the mainland and the island of Tromsøya, gifted me with gusts so strong that I have an idea of what it feels like to be a meteorologist who films themselves braving hurricane winds.

Sailing with Havila Voyages is akin to a "design your own adventure" experience. During the 11-night roundtrip, the Norwegian coastal route between Bergen and Kirkness stops at 34 ports on the northbound journey and 33 on the southbound journey. Treading as lightly as possible on the pristine environment is paramount to Havila Voyages, and their newest ships are powered by natural gas and batteries. Sustainability also extends to the food and beverage program, which emphasizes locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and a zealous and award-winning commitment to reducing food waste.

Our first Havila Voyages-organized excursion, a visit to a traditional Sámi reindeer ranch, took place before boarding the ship.

The Sámi are the indigenous peoples in the Nordic countries and parts of Russia, whose historic plight mirrors that of Indigenous

Americans. Grabbing a bucket of reindeer feed, we walked gingerly across an ice-covered plain to meet a herd of Santa's horned helpers eager for a snack. After the reindeer ate their fill, our group moved into the warmth of a Goahti, a traditional Sámi hut, similar in structure to a teepee but far more insulated, to learn about the fascinating culture of the nomadic Sámi people.

A tour bus transported us directly to the dock, where the boarding process was swift and efficient. This gave us ample time to settle into our spacious cabin and explore the ship's public areas.

The entirety of the ship presents a traditional, bright, and cozy Scandinavian style. Clean lines and ample glass ensure you don't miss a second of the stunning scenery.

Havrand is Havila Capella's main restaurant, with dishes ordered tableside for lunch and dinner; breakfast offers a buffet and table service. Rotating menus reflect four distinct "food universes," allowing guests to familiarize themselves with regional specialties.

The kitchen is adept at accommodating dietary restrictions and

preferences. Perfectly proportioned plates meant I didn't waste a bite and always had room to enjoy dessert! It was fun to try eating like a local, especially at breakfast, where the Norwegian brown cheese, also known as "geitost," became a fast favorite, while the leverpostei, a liver pate that is as common in Norway as smoked salmon, was a hard and fast pass.

Foodies can elevate their voyage by adding a dinner at Hildring Fine Dining, an intimate and elegant space serving stunningly plated five-course meals that represent the highest and best use of Norway's bounty from land and sea. The on-board sommelier met with every winemaker prior to assembling the thoughtful wine list, which includes a robust selection of natural wines that make interesting pairings for several courses. Suite guests also have the option to take their breakfast and lunch at Hildring. Gunnar Hvarnes, who led the Norwegian culinary team to Olympic gold, conceived the menus at Hildring. "The food should be half the reason to travel with Havila Voyages," says Hvarnes. slmag.net

In-between ports of call, I spent time in the on-board fitness center, the Jacuzzi, and saunas, and simply relaxed on the promenade deck and observation lounge, the latter of which usually involved sipping on a craft cocktail while waiting for an announcement from the bridge that the Northern Lights were visible. If you get the urge to wave to the Aurora, don't; the Sámi believe the lights are the souls of the dead and waving, whistling, or otherwise "teasing" them alerts them to your presence, and they may reach down and carry you up to the sky. Havila Voyages' "Northern Lights Promise,” extended to guests of the 12-day Round Voyage from October 1 to March 31, means that if the Aurora Borealis don't light up the skies, their next 6- to 7-night sailing is on them.

As enjoyable as it was to marvel at the colorful facades of wooden homes in miniscule and seemingly magical villages huddled on the water's edge against a backdrop of towering mountains, or 64 slmag.net

ponder the life of the person who lit the fire responsible for the white, wispy plume wafting from the chimney of a single solitary hytte that seemed so separate from our frenetic world, it was even better to get closer to the land and its people through both active and passive excursions. Dogsledding, king crabbing (followed by lunch to enjoy the fruits of our "labor"), visiting an ice hotel, standing atop a cliff at the northernmost point of mainland Europe, and old-fashioned sightseeing on foot, were among our winter outings. In warmer months, the itinerary expands to encompass hiking, kayaking, and biking.

In all cases and all seasons, it’s wise to keep a common Norwegian saying in mind: det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlige klær. Translated as, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing," pre-trip communications from Havila Voyages meant that we were amply prepared to enjoy every adventure to the fullest. sl For more information visit havilavoyages.com.

The Back Nine brings PGA tour tech to Carmel.

Written by Caroline Mosey / Photographed by Erik Isakson

It’s official, The Back Nine is open for business—and it never closes.

The state-of-the-art indoor golf simulator facility is a brand new addition to Carmel City Center, featuring 24/7 access to more than 50 world-renowned courses. But the owner, Coleman Gerstner, had more than just golf in mind when he decided to build the business.

“I set out to create something meaningful,” he says. “A space where people could connect, improve, and unwind on their own schedule.”

The Back Nine Golf Carmel offers monthly, annual, and corporate memberships to players who can access its Full Swing simulators—the official simulator of the PGA tour. Members can track every swing with instant data as feedback and enjoy the luxury of three-hour tee times in a relaxed, low-key environment. Whether it’s a solo practice session, a night out with friends, or a corporate event, the experience is built around comfort and quality.

“It was designed for people like me: busy professionals, parents, and people who want to get better at golf but who want to do it on their own terms—to supplement outdoor play with the technology and feedback that help elevate their game,” says Gerstner. “Anytime, and as much as they want.” Public tee times can be booked online at their website.

For Gerstner, a Hamilton County resident, Carmel City Center is the perfect location for The Back Nine, keeping company with sought-after restaurants, retail, and experiences already available nearby. “We love being at the heart of a thriving, golf-loving community,” he shares. “These are people that value excellence and experience, and The Back Nine is proud to offer both.” sl For more information, visit thebackninegolf.com/carmelin.

THE ART OF WINE Vine to Vintage: Selecting Grapes with Intention Written by Jessica Pontius / Photographed by Addison Ray/Keep Indy Indie At Daniel’s Vineyard, the story of every bottle begins long before harvest—rooted in the soil, in the hands of thoughtful farmers, and in a philosophy that great wine starts with intentional grapes.

Grape selection here is not a transaction. It’s a relationship.

From their own vines in Indiana to long-standing partners in Michigan’s Finger Lakes, California’s Lodi, and Washington’s Yakima Valley, the team seeks growers who mirror their values: sustainable farming, low intervention, and a respect for the land that borders on reverence.

Central to their selection process is one quiet but powerful metric: Brix, a measure of sugar levels that serves as an anchor for balance. Too high, and the wine loses elegance; too low, and it lacks depth. Ideal Brix means more than just sugar—it signals ripeness,

acidity, and harmony. The result is fruit that arrives ready to tell its story, not be manipulated into one.

Each vineyard partner brings its own personality: the bold sunkissed reds of Lodi, the acid-driven whites of the Finger Lakes, and the structured nuance of Yakima Valley. At home, Daniel’s cultivates Midwestern grapes that reflect resilience and place—an authentic expression of terroir. Once harvested, the fruit is treated with the same care with which it was chosen. Fermentations are purposeful.

Oak is selected with precision. The goal is not mass production, but wines of character and clarity.

Every step, from cluster to cork, is a commitment—to quality, to craft, and to grapes grown with intention. sl For more information, visit danielsvineyard.com.

MASTERING THE MARKET Written by Matt McLaughlin

The market remains very active for homes that are show-ready and have those three key factors that help a house to sell: price, condition, and location. When you’ve found the house that has all three, it’s likely you’ll find yourself in a multiple bid situation. So how do you make your offer stand out compared to other competitive bidders?

First, your financial competency and preparedness are critical to the process. Being able to close without the contingency of selling or closing on another property is an attractive element. If you’re able to pay cash, you should have a letter from your financial institution showing that there are sufficient funds available to close the transaction. This letter should be on letterhead and have a contact name and number for the listing agent to verify the buyer’s ability to close the transaction. If you’ll be obtaining a mortgage, get yourself pre-qualified to purchase from a reputable lender or bank. This should show your amount of down payment and the type of mortgage (conventional, insured conventional, or FHA). This should all be in writing on your mortgage representative’s letterhead, with the signature of the broker and their phone number.

Your ability to manage and anticipate the needs of any possible inspection items is another important factor. Be sure your inspections are completed and responded to within a short time frame. Require an inspection, but limit the response to any repairs to a certain dollar amount. Additionally, have an inspection with the right to accept the property in as-is condition after the result of the inspection is acceptable to the buyer. This means you will not ask for repairs, but have the right to terminate the agreement if there are findings unacceptable to the buyer. Or, possibly, waive your right to the inspection and accept the home in its current condition.

Exercise flexibility in the closing and possession of the home. Do some up-front investigation, and find out what time is favorable for the seller to close the property. Another option is to allow the seller to close and have post-possession of the property that is acceptable to both parties. The sellers may need the funds from this house to purchase their next home, so allowing them to stay a bit longer can help you to be flexible with them as they transition into their new one.

Finally, providing options relating to the appraisal will help make your offer more favorable to a seller. These options could include foregoing an appraisal altogether. This is permitted if you are paying cash or if your lender will waive it, and will typically happen if you have great credit scores and a large down payment. Ask your lender about this option. Consider absorbing any gap between the appraised value and your offer amount. If your new home appraisal comes in lower than the agreed-upon price, propose to make up the difference to a certain level by adding it to your down payment.

Applying these tips, you can set yourself apart as the frontrunner in your next offer. If you’d like to learn more about other options for gaining insight into the real estate market, Call Matt! sl For more information, visit callmatt.in, or Call Matt! at 317.590.0529. slmag.net

DESIGNING THE NEXT CHAPTER Transforming an empty nest into a sophisticated retreat for friends, family, and future memories Written by Stephanie Carlson / Photographed by Dave Pluimer

It’s one of those things that happens slowly, and then all at once: children growing up and leaving home. It’s a time when many homeowners start to see their space with new eyes, envisioning the next chapter of life and the potential it holds for the future. That’s exactly where Chris and Kristie Jennerjahn found themselves recently. After 24 years of busy family living, they were ready to remodel their home. “We raised four active children, and the home was showing its wear,” says Kristie. “We attended years of Home-A-Ramas, planning to make some updates for a new lifestyle once we became empty nesters.”

The couple lives in Hartford City, about 70 miles from Indianapolis. Most of the builders they spoke with weren’t interested in driving the distance for a home remodel, but that’s when they connected with Scott Campbell, owner of Scott B. Campbell Custom Homes, at the 2022 Home-A-Rama in Westfield. After meeting with the Jennerjahns and learning more about their plans, he agreed to make the commute to their property in east central Indiana to help bring their vision to life. “While it was a commitment to get to the jobsite due to its distance from Indy, my subcontractors and suppliers were game to travel to get the job done,” says Campbell.

Conversations about the remodel project, including replacing windows and making repairs, eventually evolved into plans for a teardown and new build. They started fresh with a brand new design, including repositioning the pool and backyard amenity area, to attractively blend indoor living with the outdoor environment. “The Jennerjahns wanted a home that was spacious enough to welcome their entire family back home to visit, with a special place for grandkids,” explains Scott. “Kristie has an eye for design and had a vision for what she wanted in the new home—how it should function and flow from the inside out.”

After consulting with vendors like Beehler Kitchens, Ferguson Home, and Franklin Window & Door, Kristie began pulling ideas and concepts together prior to going to contract with Scott. Choosing traditional to transitional style—with a comfortable warmth reflective of the homeowners’ personalities—work kicked off during the summer of 2023 and was completed by the fall of 2024.

Campbell has been building the kind of custom homes clients dream about for three decades. After graduating from college with a sports marketing degree, he got his start in construction working for his stepfather, who was a home builder in Madison County, Indiana. He went on to later develop a neighborhood in Pendleton, where he took on the role of primary builder to help grow his business.

Initially, Scott Campbell Custom Homes was associated with French Country architecture.

Today, he is building more transitional and contemporary homes. “I love the relationships that develop with my clients, and have so much gratitude for the people I get to build homes for,” says Scott. “Many times, we get to be good friends.” From concept to design to final completion, every feature is expertly crafted by professionals to deliver exactly what clients envision.

Kristie is thrilled with the updates to her home. “You walk in the front door, into a large foyer that takes your eye straight through the indoor living space to our refreshing pool and beautiful backyard,” she says. “And we adapted a former office into a music room with a grand piano.”

The primary suite was moved to the main floor, where it can overlook the pool area.

A custom ornamental staircase leads to a second-floor loft, three additional bedrooms, and a bunk room, which will be designed in the future for grandkids. “We’re having our first grandchild this summer, and now we have space for a baby,” says Kristie excitedly.

The kitchen and living room were designed as an open-concept space, ideal for hosting family gatherings and parties, and feature a few tokens from the original home. “We were able to reuse items from the old house in the new house,” says Scott. “In particular, wood beams were removed, saved, and reused throughout the new house as shelves, as decor in the loft, and as a bench in the hallway.”

Kristie loves to cook and prioritizes a tidy workspace. Working closely with Bridget Beehler, owner of Beehler Kitchens, they were able to come up with creative ways to control standard cooking chaos by including a secondary “dirty kitchen” to the side, complete with an additional sink, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, and freezer that is hidden from view.

“We incorporated lots of inserts and special places for spices, knives and oils, as well as tray dividers and hiding spots for appliances,” says Bridget. “It’s a perfect place for prep work and baking.”

Devastatingly, the Jennerjahns’ business suffered a fire in the midst of their home remodel— an unexpected emergency during an already-busy season. “It was a challenging time to build a home and deal with a fire cleanup simultaneously,” says Kristie. “However, we were able to save the office conference table and convert it into a ping pong table and sideboard for storage.”

While the remodel was exciting for the entire family, they still want to remember the traditions of the home where they raised their family and created a lifetime of memories. A special piece of artwork hangs in the foyer to do just that: a painting by a student at Bluffton High School pays homage to the original home—a reminder of the past and the promise of new traditions yet to come. sl For more information, visit scottcampbellcustomhomes.com.

A TOAST TO ELEGANT TASTE

The newest 1933 Lounge brings speakeasy-style glamour to Carmel.

Written by Neil Charles / Photographed by Dave Pluimer Step into the new 1933 Lounge in Carmel and you might momentarily forget where you are.

The glow of chandeliers, the gleam of rich materials, and the layered elegance evoke scenes of a bigger, more bustling metropolis. Think Paris, perhaps, or a sleek brasserie tucked into a corner of Chicago’s Gold Coast. I’m immediately reminded of a grand old ocean liner, with its riveted metal panels, elaborate cornices and deco-inspired fixtures. There’s a touch of Alice in Wonderland, too: the fantastical, even audacious armchairs and wall coverings tell us we’re going on a little voyage of discovery.

“This restaurant is unlike anything else in the metro area—or the state, really,” says Craig Huse, co-owner of Huse Culinary and the force behind some of Indiana’s most distinctive dining destinations. “We want guests to feel transported, like they’re dining out on vacation in San Francisco, Paris, or Manhattan.” But no need to hop a flight for a dining experience of this caliber; the lounge is located in downtown Carmel’s Arts & Design District (and within irresistible proximity to our Indiana Design Center offices).

Huse and his father, Steve, are best known for helming the legendary St. Elmo Steak House in downtown Indianapolis, from whence they have built a culinary empire rooted in high standards and guest experience. On a cool but sunny day in April, while our editor-inchief and photographer extraordinaire were capturing images for this story, I sat down with Craig for a few minutes to discuss his past accomplishments and his vision for the future. The new 1933 Lounge in Carmel represents the next evolution in that vision: a refined, elevated destination for cocktails, conversation, and cuisine, all with lashings of cosmopolitan flair.

Striking, speakeasy-style glamour from floor to ceiling

With a plethora of family-friendly eateries in the area, the 1933 Lounge is, refreshingly so, strictly 21 and over. The focal point of this 9,000 square foot space is a circular island bar, topped with a sixteen-hundred-pound chandelier formed out of concentric circles of gleaming metal. Visible from every part of the restaurant, the opulent bar is both a focal point and an affirmation of purpose: to drink, eat and have fun.

Huse worked closely with an architect and interior designers to bring the vision for 1933 Lounge Carmel to life—one that assures a visual experience every bit as sophisticated as the menu. “When I design a restaurant, I try to avoid elements that will feel dated in ten years,” he says. “We’re in the business of service and food, yes—but more than that, we’re in the business of entertainment.” To achieve that, Huse asked his design team to steer clear of expansive drywall and instead use what he calls an “integrated” approach, one that combines textures, materials, and architectural storytelling to create immersive, layered spaces. When the weather permits, garage doors open onto terraces on two sides of the building, significantly expanding the square footage.

The bar at 1933 Lounge is more than an amenity; it’s the beating brass heart of the experience.

The culinary team built a beverage program with a focus on blending tradition with trend. “We’ve expanded our craft cocktail list, grown our tequila and whiskey selections, and included more non-alcoholic options,” Huse explains. “We serve more adult beverages at 1933 than at our other restaurants, so we designed an expansive bar to support that.” Signature offerings include house takes on the Espresso Martini and Old Fashioned, alongside seasonal creations that rotate with the calendar. Among the standouts is St. Elmo’s own Barkeep Vodka, made with Indiana ingredients and distilled at Prime Aged Spirits on the south side of Indianapolis.

At 1933 Lounge, calamari is hand-breaded and served with a bright, sweet chili dipping sauce.

Fans of the fiery and unforgettable St. Elmo Shrimp Cocktail will be glad to know they no longer have to travel downtown for the experience. On a recent visit, my wife and I took full advantage of this opportunity, and after a brief recovery period, went on to enjoy excellent ribeye steaks—accompanied by peppercorn and Béarnaise sauces—and the justly celebrated king crab mac and cheese. Replete as we were, we still felt obliged to dig into the white chocolate blueberry bread pudding, one of several delightfully indulgent desserts produced in-house.

Opening a location in Carmel wasn’t a new idea, but rather a long-held ambition. “We’ve had this in the pipeline for four years,” Huse says. “We committed to the location in 2021. It just took time for the building to be developed. But the wait was worth it—I couldn’t be happier with the location or the final product.”

For Craig, the newest 1933 Lounge was never about chasing trends or churning out copy-paste locations. It’s about creating places that feel singular, places where people come to celebrate and connect with each other. Huse sees the restaurant as perfectly positioned to serve the vibrant Carmel community, one that he knows well. “We all benefit from a thriving dining scene,” he says. “Carmel has its Arts District, but what’s forming now is a Dining District, and we’re proud to be part of that.” sl For more information, visit 1933lounge.com/carmel.
