et again, I find myself in the same spot. Stuck in a design rut. A year has passed and I have done nearly nothing to redefine the interiors of my home. It’s perpetually listed on all my todo Post-it notes—get paint swatches at Home Depot, replace living room area rug, move old dresser out of guest bedroom, buy planters for back patio…and the list goes on. It seems that I’m simply not a very good DIYer. I love the thought of repurposing various pieces of furniture around my house, I drool over the pretty pages of fancy design magazines, and I especially enjoy watching the magical room transformations on HGTV; but when it comes to the action, I’d rather go hide under my outdated comforter. When I question where to begin, intimidation follows overwhelming panic, and here my friends, is where I find myself in need of a professional. No, not a therapist (but perhaps not a bad idea), I’m talking about an interior designer—a home décor master. Lucky for me, and anyone thinking about revamping their home’s inner spaces with the assistance of a design professional—this month we get to know five local interior designers in Kristen Castillo’s “Faces Behind the Spaces.” See a glimpse into the minds of these artists of accommodations. Each offers their points of view relating to the world of design and beyond, including their favorite color palette right now, trends for 2014, favorite kitchen gadgets and more. For those of you who don’t necessarily need to transform, but instead want to add value along with pizzazz to your home, then head straight to Darren Elms’ “Home Improvement,” where you’ll find “10 Value-Added Upgrades” as suggested by area realtors, contractors and more. Perhaps you’re thinking of putting your house on the market, or you simply want to keep your place in tip-top selling shape—either way, this handy list of practical tips takes the thinking out of what to do so you can start hammering away at adding value to your property. After all that work around the house, I can’t think of a better reward (well maybe I can, but it’s not realistic) than something chocolate filled. Check out this month’s “Hit List” of the area’s top five “Something with Chocolate” submissions for dreamy cocoa-inspired menu items around town. If you need another reason to indulge, don’t forget that it’s cupid’s month of love and sharing—sharing chocolate, that is. If a reward such as a vacay to the Big Island of Hawai’i is realistic for you, don’t miss this month’s Escape to Kona, Hawai’i. If you haven’t visited this ever-popular destination, take a tour via the gallery of our aah-inspiring photos, and who knows, maybe you’ll find this is the spot for your dream home. Until next month, indulge with style! FOLLOW US ONLINE: — Desiree

Q&A

Q: What advice would you give to your younger self? A: Don’t worry so much—it takes the fun out of the journey. Q: What comes to you naturally? A: Giving of time to help. My love language is “acts of service,” and you can see that in every area of my life. Q: Are you high or low maintenance? A: Low maintenance with high energy—my family can hardly keep up. Q: Biggest life inspirations? A: My dad and grandpa—the values they raised me with are immeasurable. Q: What are you most proud of? A: My family. We all work hard and have a great life; we overcome and grow.

hristy Barros grew up in Merced County, surrounded by a close network of more than 200 relatives and friends of relatives. As a child, it was normal for her to help out wherever she could—whether it meant assisting an elderly family friend cook or doing yard work. When she moved to Rocklin eight years ago, she immediately sought to recreate that sense of community. She got involved in the Rocklin Chamber of Commerce, and shortly thereafter was introduced to Rotary. “I went to a few meetings, and I found my passion,” Barros explains. “We got to directly help the community—the schools, the surrounding areas, and even overseas. It was pretty amazing.” 10 stylemg.com - February 2014

Barros is the current president of the Rotary Club of Rocklin/Loomis Basin, and she is proud of her role in raising funds to keep important scholarships and other community support programs running— despite tough economic times. She also loves being able to make a difference in the lives of individuals, especially kids. Every year, she attends RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), a weeklong summer program that encourages youth leadership. Although she’s also a busy CFO and mother of two young boys, she doesn’t regret for a second the time commitment of Rotary. “You can get the feeling of doing something really meaningful,” Barros shares. “I live for that.” — Amber Foster

season’s eatings

What’s in Season:

Health experts recommend eating several servings of fruits and vegetables each day; in addition, an appropriate amount of lean meats can also contribute to a nutritious regimen. If you’re looking for the perfect combination of flavor and nutrients, lamb is an excellent choice. Fresh lamb is available year-round, as sheep are raised in almost every state including California (one of the top five sheep-producing states). Locally, Placer County is home to several sheep farms.

Lamb

SELECTION AND STORAGE When shopping for lamb, look for cuts that are soft pink or red with some white marbling, and without any dried edges. If you prefer lamb chops—the rib, loin or sirloin cuts are best. Lamb should be stored in the refrigerator or freezer as soon as it’s purchased. If you plan on freezing the meat, it’s best to consume it within three to four months. Always try to select lean cuts and use low-fat cooking methods, such as roasting, broiling, grilling, braising or stewing.

COOKING ADVICE One of the worst things you can do to a beautiful cut of lamb is overcook it, or—even worse— not cook it enough. Don’t guess when it’s ready to be removed from the oven or test out it’s doneness by cutting into it; instead, invest in a quality, reliable meat thermometer for an accurate assessment. Once the internal temperature reads 160 degrees, allow the meat to rest at least 20 minutes before carving.

Merlot, which has nice acidity to hold up to the spice of the stew as well as wonderful fruit flavors of blackberry and black plum that complement the dish’s citrus and dates. The soft tannins and cocoa finish are perfect

FOR GOOD HEALTH On average, a three-ounce serving of lamb has approximately 175 calories, less than 4.5 grams of saturated fat, and is considered to be a lean meat by the Food and Drug Administration. The leanest cuts have 70-80 milligrams of cholesterol, comparable to a chicken breast, which contains about 70 milligrams.

Out of Bounds Brewing Company

ut of Bounds Brewing Company—a fairly new business surprising both newbies and regulars with some of the best home-brewed beers for the buck—is located, literally, out of bounds. Squeezed in between warehouse buildings, it’s the perfect getaway for after-work customers. Walking in, I immediately felt the warm, welcoming vibe, which only multiplied after trying their Tasting Flight. For $20, I received an assortment of 12 beers laid upon a circular wooden tablet. Like the hands of a clock, I rotated my way around and found some of the most distinctive tastes of beer. I especially enjoyed the Delta Breeze Mild Cream Ale (4.8 percent), which didn’t have an overwhelming sense of cream, but rather a delightful, mild aftertaste. The Granite Chief Stout and the Oak Aged Stout (both 6.8 percent) provided a malty flavor that partnered nicely with the perfect supply of hops! The Rusted Butte Ale (5.8 percent) however, is the favorite amongst beer-drinking visitors. It gives a refreshing blend of hops mixed with a light rusted flavoring, making it hard not to enjoy. Whether you’re in to IPAs or ales, Out of Bounds is an up-and-coming business worth tasting for yourself.

Perfect Pitch

AB: Was art always a part of your life? How did you know you wanted to make a career of it? JVD: I always drew my world—the stories 22 stylemg.com - February 2014

AB: You’ve made artwork for many products and companies. Is there a piece of work you’re most proud of? Why? JVD: I did a label for Indian Springs Vineyards that came about in a flash, and though it has a funny story about how long it took to make the owner happy, it turned out to be a winner in many competitions. I still get people asking if I have poster art of it—though they’re no longer making the wine.

Sundown’s Lace

ocal artist Jerianne Van Dijk—whose paintings, illustrations and murals range from whimsical impressionistic works to detailed realism—has created original artwork for many businesses and companies, from restaurant murals to product labels (Lost Coast Brewery, Indian Springs Vineyards, and Tomaso’s Dressings, to name a few). Recently she was invited as one of 26 artists around the world to celebrate the “25th Year of Arts” at El Minia University in Egypt. Below she tells us how she came to achieve such great success in the competitive art world.

and an amount of detail, I’m done. With that said, I might do the same subject many more times…just to stretch the idea.

in my head, and the world I wished I had. It was a form of escape from the life [my family] lived. Art itself was not a part of my life growing up—all we had on our wall was a really cheap print of some grapes and fruit. I never went to art school or college, and married and had my first child before realizing I really needed to [pursue art]. I then began teaching myself to watercolor and giving myself tough goals. Career still hasn’t entered my mind—I do it because I need to. AB: How do you know when a piece is finished? JVD: It’s usually before I realize it. This is age-old for any work. I am not one to want to noodle at the end. A good piece for me, as Robert Frost said of any poem, should have a delicious vagueness; if I can have that

AB: You work in watercolor, gouache, ink and crayon. Do you have a preference for one in particular? Why? JVD: I still love watercolor. It has an element of [unpredictability]—not knowing what the water will do—and I like that. I count on the quirky value of water and paint. With oils you have to make everything happen. Though, I still like adding crayon in the end.

AB: What advice would you give young, budding artists? JVD: Go to school—get the papers. I teach watercolor, yet, because I don’t have a B.A. or other letters, I’m not qualified to teach college courses. Also, practice. The part you do well at the beginning is good, yet not that good. One needs to hone that. A lot of work gets put out for sale that hasn’t been cured by practice. The essence and talent is there, yet the practice and the experience will bring you the home run at the right time.

or many, the term “epilepsy” conjures up images of seizures and panic, along with the misnomer that people with the disease live a sheltered life. What’s more, many of us fear how to help if we witness an epileptic having a seizure. (Note: A person having a seizure cannot swallow his or her tongue, this is just a myth). In reality, medication and control of this disease has come a long way. You may be surprised to learn that one to two percent of the population, more than two million Americans, are living quality lives with epilepsy.

For more than 60 years, the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) has also worked to find treatments and cures for DMD, in addition to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neuromuscular diseases.

Additionally, many patients begin to lose the ability to walk between 8-12 years of age, and most use a wheelchair full-time by age 14. According to Henricson, the major experimental approaches to “fixing” the dystrophin gene are “ways to trick the

rik Henricson, M.P.H., has worked with patients affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and other neuromuscular diseases for more than a decade. As associate director for clinical research at the UC Davis Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, he is well aware of the hardships families face when caring for a child with DMD. “[It] continues to be among the diseases with the highest total cost of health and medical care of any chronic disease,” Henricson explains. “A family-centered approach to helping people with DMD is really necessary…I see parents all the time who selflessly put their needs far behind the needs of their kids, and it’s our job to help them find ways to take care of themselves as well.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that DMD occurs among approximately 1 in 3,500-6,000 boys. It’s considered the most common form of muscular dystrophy amongst children and is characterized by a lack of dystrophin, a protein in muscle cells. The disease, which only affects girls in rare cases, is a genetic disorder passed from female carriers with abnormal dystrophin on one of their X chromosomes to their children.

HOPE FOR RILEY

On January 6, 2013, El Dorado Hills resident Nicole France posted the first entry on her blog, Finding a New Normal. “I keep hearing what I feel is normal and soon it will get easier and eventually I will fall into a ‘new normal,’” she wrote. Riley, her 12-year-old son, had recently been diagnosed with DMD. Within a month, France, a single mother of five, launched hope4riley.com, a website dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Riley’s medical expenses and daily needs, most of which aren’t covered by insurance nor county, state and federal resources. “This was my way of reaching out to share our story...in hopes of spreading the word about the fight families in my position face,” she explains. “We struggle each and every day to meet the growing needs of our children while trying to remain hopeful that a cure will be found…in their lifetime.” To that end, France has taken an active role in supporting Roseville’s branch of the MDA. “Over the last six months, two families have lost their 10-year-old sons to [DMD]…” she shares. “This should not happen, but it does, and the only way to save more lives is by providing support for not only research, but things like wheelchair-accessible vehicles, mobility equipment, [and] in-home services.”

The MDA of Sacramento hopes to breathe new life into the local gala scene with its inaugural Blue Moon Bash, a social gathering to fund an additional 1,000 minutes of research for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy. Set to take place this fall at the Four Points by Sheraton, Sacramento, the event promises to be a fun evening of elegant food, cocktails, auctions and activities. Organizers are currently seeking sponsorships, in addition to donations of floral arrangements, beverages and photography services.

group of adults with muscular dystrophy and parents of children with the disease—set out to conquer neuromuscular diseases through a combination of research funding, comprehensive healthcare services, and support for families nationwide. According to Jamey Rosner, health-care services coordinator at the MDA’s Sacramento office, funds raised locally stay local and are contributed almost entirely by individual donors. “[The MDA] rallies local communities,” she shares, “to fight back through advocacy, fundraising and local engagements to create more awareness about these rare diseases, as well as provide resources, support and programs that assist them directly with the diagnosis.” “Our team’s research shows that many people today with DMD are surviving well into adulthood and doing things that adults normally do, like going to college, getting jobs and getting married,” Henricson adds. “In the past, that simply did not happen, and it offers families more hope for their child’s future.”

am learning to be more mindful in my everyday life.” Wellness Within Founder and Executive Director, Patti Brown, opened the Roseville center’s doors three-and-a-half years ago—following the completion of her mind-body medicine certification. Her goal was to provide a “healing oasis” of free services, including yoga, meditation and nutrition education. “My belief is the community has been strengthened knowing we are filling the gaps where orthodox medicine isn’t able,” Brown explains. “I have had many people in my life [who’ve been] diagnosed with cancer and have witnessed the trauma, havoc, pain and agony of dealing with all that comes with a life-threatening illness.” In less than a year, Wellness Within has seen its client list double, and staff members say they hope to add more classes—eventually relocating to a larger space in order to expand their reach and continue serving patients like 27-year-old survivor Allie Northern. “I have gained so much, but in that gain I have also lost,” she says. “Cancer is a gift in ways, but it still is a long, hard, harrowing journey that no one should have to walk alone.” Despite the best efforts of staff and volunteers, the journey doesn’t always have a happy ending, but true to Northern’s words, the Wellness Within family is always there to provide support. “Recently, one of our most enthusiastic supporters died and the outpouring of grief was huge,” shares Yoga Program Coordinator Susan Whitaker. “I watched as clients bonded, talked and supported one another through attending her memorial and checking in with each other before and after classes. It gave me the feeling that what we do here really matters.”

hen Eleanor Gorospe was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in September 2012, she felt as if her world had been turned upside down. Shock, disbelief and tears were soon followed by what she describes as her “warrior mode,” a fierce determination to “fight off [the] cancer with a vengeance.” She was 54 years old, a non-smoker, and she wasn’t ready to die. “I managed to stay positive and hopeful throughout the chemo, but I was discovering that there was more to the cancer fight than just killing off the cancer cells,” Gorospe recalls. “I was still dealing with the acceptance of the diagnosis, the magnitude of the fight, and the fear of death.” In the spring of 2013, she discovered Wellness Within, a mind-body wellness center for patients, survivors and families coping with cancer. It was exactly the sort of support system she needed to complement her treatment, and in just a few months’ time, she had taken on the dual role of client and volunteer. “There was a very peaceful and calm energy as soon as I walked into the center, and I knew it was the place to be,” Gorospe shares. “The staff was warm, friendly and caring. The classes I took…helped to strengthen me mentally. I am more readily able to keep myself calm and focused and

be your own boss 6 Tips for Starting a Business by Linda Holderness

ou’re flush with compliments about the clever cupcakes you made for the holidays and say to yourself, “Wouldn’t baking be more fun than my day job?” Or you’re dreaming you could ditch your desk to escort bass fishermen through the Delta. Do you dare? Nearly everyone from time to time imagines starting a business doing something they love. Should you take the chance? These tips from local experts will help you decide.

1. BE PASSIONATE “Passion is number one,” says Darla Colson, CPA, MST, at Gilbert Associates, Inc. in Folsom. “You must believe in what you’re doing.” If your business goal is only about making money, and not about following your passion, “things can go south very quickly,” counsels Sherif Boctor, CPA at PSG Certified Public Accountants in Roseville.

Even when you love what you’re doing, running a business is hard work, says Roger Linn, attorney/principal at Barnett & Linn, Attorneys at Law in Roseville, who specializes in business formation. “You’ve got to find customers, collect money, pay your bills, keep records.” Be realistic, advises Colson: Are you willing and able to spend hours on tasks you don’t enjoy?

3. CAPITALIZE If the routine tasks don’t daunt you, you need to consider money. The biggest mistake new businesses make, says Linn, is not having enough capital. Starting on a shoestring may sound romantic, but it isn’t practical. Analyze your finances and figure out how much money you’ll need and where it’s going to come from—maybe including family or friends, urges Boctor. Don’t wait until your dollars run out before lining up new sources of accessible cash.

4. PLAN Small business owners rarely develop a business plan—and that’s a mistake, Boctor says. You may think you have everything in your head, but writing down your plans helps you anticipate problems and keeps you on track.

5. BUDGET Before you even open your doors, get accounting software and create a budget, advises Colson. Along with income and expenses, be sure to track tax deductions— these put real dollars in your pocket. Work-related lunches and miles you drive are deductible, for instance, and you might miss them without a budget.

6. ACT “AS IF” To be taken seriously, you must portray a professional manner from the get-go, Boctor says. Commission an identity package. Get classy business cards. If you work at home, find somewhere else to meet clients. If people perceive you as successful, it’s more likely you will be.

SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS STORY

NICE TWICE CONSIGNMENT nicetwice.info In the 35 years JoAnn Funk has owned Nice Twice Consignment in Roseville, a charming shop selling nearly new women’s and girls’ clothes, she has counted at least 20 similar businesses come and go. She credits her longevity to experience, marketing and location. “You have to have a background in whatever business you’re going to start,” she advises. (Hers was in retail and banking.) Second she started marketing prior to opening by asking everyone she knew to consign their clothes. “You can’t ‘play store’ and wait for customers to come to you,” she says. Third, in her words, “location, location, location.” Her shop at 209 Vernon Street gets tons of foot traffic and has bright display windows. Funk’s first store was 1,000 square feet, and she made $53 her first month. She worked six days a week, alone, for a year and a half. Today, she has 3,500 square feet and four employees. Nice Twice sells exclusively high-end clothing that’s less than two years old. Funk is still passionate about her work—and also about her customers. Over the years, she says, they have become like family.

Favorite materials or textures: Right now— antique mirror, brass and distressed leather. Favorite designers/architects: Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe—they were not only great architects but influential furniture designers; also, Kelly Wearstler, because she’s not afraid to play with scale and pattern and luxurious materials. Advice for aspiring interior designers: Surround yourself with talented, hardworking people who you can learn from. Design project that has the most impact in a home: Kitchen—it’s where everyone ends up hanging out and can add great value to your home. Tool you can’t live without: My iPhone. Favorite color: Black. I know it’s a bit cliché, but black will accentuate any color! Favorite ice cream flavor: Coconut. I remember my first homemade coconut paleta on the beach in Puerto Vallarta when I was young—it brings back great memories. Coffee or tea: I’m a big fan of both depending on the day—a delicious latte or a London fog.

Molly Fitzpatrick has been a professional interior designer for more than eight years, working in both commercial and residential design. She’s certified by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ), as well as a LEED (Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design) accredited professional. While Fitzpatrick has worked on a variety of projects, she says her “true aesthetic is downright country chic.” Her portfolio shows spaces with layered textures, shapes and color in a way that, she says, “feels super hip and really cozy.” Fitzpatrick loves “shopping vintage and reusing pieces in a modern setting.” She splits her time each week between San Francisco and Placerville, calling it “the best of both worlds!”

Top 3 Trends For 2014 2. Designing a space is just like styling a look! Gold and brass are back and are great finishes to accessorize a room. I have a love for grey tones in paint.

“I like combining neutrals with grays. It encourages the warmth clients desire with neutrals that allow them to stay current with style.”

Advice for aspiring interior designers: Understand that design is 30 percent design and 70 percent business. It’s not just fun and games— you must be wise with your time to allow for paperwork, follow up, accounting, etc. Design project that has the most impact in a home: The family room is where most of the members come together, so you need to maximize comfort and personal style. Next would be the kitchen (to help with ease of prep and enjoyment of the space). The powder room is where you can be daring. It’s the only space your guests will have on their own to judge your style. Be bold. Tool you can’t live without: My iPhone—it has allowed me to copy and paste a design piece last minute and keeps the communication instant. I’m amazed how much I utilize the Internet for my resources and manufacturers I offer. Favorite color: Smoke blue makes me feel warm and reminds me of the sky. Favorite ice cream flavor: Starbucks Java Chip—creamy, rich and decadent with espresso chocolate…yummy!

Design motto: When you’re passionate about what you do, it will be evident with fantastic results for your clients. Favorite materials or textures: I enjoy bringing in several layers that will be based on the overall design. My favorite material is Mohair and leathers. If a client’s design calls for it, I will add a touch of cowhide. Favorite designers/architects: Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect and designer that I have used as my inspiration for incorporating the outdoors into the home or commercial spaces. A current designer that I share a similar design style with is Candice Olson—she maximizes space and offers comfortable modern spaces.

Coffee or tea: I need both. My morning starts with a hot cup of coffee with hazelnut creamer, and I enjoy iced tea with lunch. My ultimate choice is water…so refreshing! Favorite kitchen gadget: I use my coffeemaker the most, with my blender for smoothies a close second. Favorite local restaurant: I go to Paul Martin’s American Grill and Skipolini’s Pizza most often.

Top 3 Trends For 2014 1. Using texture on walls in lieu of accent paint. There are many options: tile, rock and wall coverings. 2. Hanging multiple light pendants to create a bouncing effect of lighting and glass in the room. I love all of the Edison bulbs for added character. 3. Porcelain wood tile creates the same look as wood floors but allows for children on roller skates and a dog rushing to the door with its sharp nails. It prevents scratching and requires no maintenance. February 2014 - stylemg.com 37

Coffee or tea: Illy’s Medium Roast is in our espresso machine, but I always love Chocolate Fish’s flat white, too! Favorite kitchen gadget: My tomato-cutting knife from my sister. Favorite local restaurant: Tres Hermanas for quick and easy; Ella for lunch and celebration.

Top 3 Trends For 2014 1. A menswear look is making a comeback via pinstripe fabrics, herringbone accents and detailed upholstery stitching. 2. Organic glamour is also hitting a strong stride via natural fiber rugs and wall coverings paired with the shine of Lucite and mixed metals.

HOME IMPROVEMENT L

10 Value-Added

Upgrades by Darren Elms

1. CURB APPEAL First impressions are everything. They set the tone for a buyer of a home and are lasting. Your home’s appearance could be the difference between someone walking into the open house or just doing a drive-by. “On many occasions, I’ve had buyer’s wave at me to keep driving and not stop at the property we were suppose to view—just because they didn’t like its curb appeal,” says Bill Sadek of Realty West in Roseville. “Basically, there was none.” Checklist for home sellers: • Is there oil in the driveway? • How does the grass and landscape look? • Is the exterior paint fading and chipping? • Is the color outdated? When your property is inviting from the outside, it automatically adds value and extends the desirability of your home. “The front entry is especially important,” says Nick Sadek of NRS Real Estate in Roseville. “Try dressing up the exterior with either new landscaping or nice garage doors.”

ooking to sell your home in the near future? Or do you just want to increase the equity you already enjoy? There’s never a bad time to add value to your home, especially in today’s competitive market. But what home improvements give you the most bang for your buck? Before you go installing a brand new swimming pool, let’s take a look at 10 smart upgrades that not only attract buyers, but also give you more leverage with the selling price.

EXTERIOR PAINT

Exterior Paint photo © Studio D/fotolia.com. Interior Paint photo © Warren Goldswain/fotolia.com. Tile Roofing Maintenance photo © gmcgill/fotolia.com.

Although it’s in the same category as curb appeal, exterior paint is an important improvement on its own. James Higgs of Higgs Construction in Folsom suggests making sure all windows are caulked, wood trim is kept up and painted, and any cracks in the stucco are caulked and painted. “Maintaining your exterior will save you money in the long run,” he says. If budget is an issue, you can also do something as simple as putting a bright coat of paint on the front door, or adding a few plants to the porch. Even if you can’t afford to give the whole house a new paint job, the front should be clean and neat and the landscaping trimmed and tidy.

INTERIOR PAINT

It may seem kind of obvious, but I can’t tell you how many open houses I’ve walked into that either had stained or faded walls, or a bright color that would immediately turn off buyers. No matter how many times you tell someone it can be painted over, the image of floor to ceiling bright magenta will haunt his or her dreams. Save them some sleepless nights and give your walls a fresh coat or two of a neutral paint color. The lighter and fresher the color, the bigger and brighter the room will appear.

TILE ROOFING MAINTENANCE

According to Higgs, due to the age of many homes in our area, valley tile needs to be removed and valley tin cleaned due to dirt and leaf build-up. “If not cleaned, debris will build up and create a dam, causing the rainwater to flow over the effected area and leak—resulting in water damage.” Higgs also suggests routinely cleaning all gutters and down spouts so that water can flow easily from them.

NEW & IMPROVED KITCHEN AND BATHROOMS

A new kitchen is probably the most profitable investment you can make to a house. As the home’s heart and soul, there is no substitution for an impeccably designed and constructed kitchen space; bathrooms, however, take a close second. “Homeowners should concentrate on the rooms they use the most,” advises February 2014 - stylemg.com 43

Nick Sadek. “Open floor plans with big great rooms are in high demand; also, light and bright rooms and high ceilings will make people feel good.” If a kitchen or bathroom’s floor plan is laid out well and top-of-the-line finishes are used, then the value can be passed on from one owner to the next. Consider adding an additional bathroom (if your home currently has only one) for added value. For an easy, low-cost shower upgrade, Ron Bunce of The Grout Medic in El Dorado Hills suggests removing the non-sanded grout, cleaning the tile face, removing mildew caulking and replacing the grout. “The shower will

look almost brand new and it’s a fraction of the cost of ripping out the existing tile and grout,” Bunce says. As these jobs can be large, expensive and time consuming, be sure to consult with several contractors to make sure you find the best match for your schedule and wallet. Be smart in your counter and cabinet selections—look for good quality materials and a classic design that will appeal to more buyers. The good news? Even after weeks of dust and expenditures, your new kitchen or bathroom may be the prime selling point to a potential buyer.

NEW WINDOW TREATMENTS

Ditch the dusty old curtains for some permanent fixtures sure to dazzle visitors. Cheryl De La Campa of Affordable Furniture and Blinds in Placerville suggests two kinds of window treatments. “Covering your 44 stylemg.com - February 2014

windows with plantation shutters adds an instant and dramatic modern update,” she says. “The timeless beauty of shutters, along with their custom framework and clean lines, make a boring sheet-rocked window opening look fabulous. They also make your home stand out from the rest with head-turning curb appeal. Roman shades can also add a pop of color and texture to any room in your home, without the heavy, crowded feel of draperies and valances. Choosing soft, neutral colors to complement your sofas or bedding will tie your windows to the rest of the room, or you can choose a bold accent color to make those windows stand out.”

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

If water heaters are at the age for replacement, it’s time for an upgrade. “Installing a 95-percent efficient water heater or a tankless unit will save you money in the long run,” says Higgs. Ecoconscious and energy-efficient appliances can also be a big draw for many potential buyers. Waiting a lifetime for hot water to get to the bathroom on the second floor? Higgs suggests installing a Watts recirculating pump and setting the timer to when the family needs the hot water—no more wasted water waiting for it to get hot, and you can save up to 15,000 gallons per year. Additionally, installing low-flow showerheads will save 25-60 percent of the water usage, and a new dual flush toilet for a family of four will save up to 7,000 gallons per year.

DIY FIXTURES

If your budget can’t accommodate a dramatic bathroom or kitchen makeover, you can add interest by swapping out some of the fixtures yourself. Replace outdated cabinet handles and knobs, faucets, toilet paper holders, light switch plates and more with something shiny and new. Keep countertops uncluttered and clean. Even if you can’t make the upgrade yourself, give buyers a chance to envision one for themselves.

FLOORS

Is that dingy old carpet weighing your home down? Consider replacing it with a nice durable substitute that won’t break the bank. Like an unsightly interior wall, dirty or outdated carpet can be a visual eyesore for buyers. If you really want to step up your game, consider redoing existing hardwood floors or adding an affordable alternative. With today’s aesthetically-inclined home shoppers, a nice hardwood floor makes a solid impact. According to Bunce, installing ceramic/porcelain tile in the bathroom is key. “Removing existing linoleum or carpet from a bathroom, laundry or master bathroom floor is much more affordable than you think. [What’s more], ceramic/porcelain tile is waterproof and epoxy grout is stain resistant and waterproof, so you are adding the security and value of a waterproof floor to your home.”

10. SIMPLICITY One of the most inexpensive ways to improve your home is to scale back before the open house. Even if you haven’t moved out of the home, it may be wise to clean up and make the home as visually appealing as possible. That means removing unneeded furniture, eliminating clutter, cleaning the garage, and letting natural light in. There’s nothing that turns buyers off more than a dark, crowded home. Help them imagine the room as their own with some thoughtful rearranging and clearing of space!

kona, hawai’i A Breath of Fresh Big Island Air by Patrick Carter

DAY 1 My travel companion and I packed light and were able to jump into the hotel shuttle within 20 minutes of landing. Our destination was the Hilton Waikoloa Village (hiltonwaikoloavillage.com). We couldn’t help but notice the interesting terrain between the airport and the hotel: lava rock. Before we knew it, we were checked in, getting changed and off to lunch. We caught a quick bite at the pool and then it was time for our first activity—a couple’s massage 48 stylemg.com - February 2014

Outdoor cabana at Kohala Spa

at the Kohala Spa. Although situated on the cliffs overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean, I was a tad reticent at first; however, that melted away after one minute on the outdoor cabana table. It was truly an enjoyable experience, especially with my significant other. We then took a stroll around the property, enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery and coastline I’ve ever encountered in Hawaii. That evening we had a nice dinner at the poolside café and enjoyed another stroll.

DAY 2 The next morning we enjoyed a “Big Island breakfast” at the hotel’s buffet, which offered just about everything an appetite can imagine. The server was an extremely nice man who gave us lots of ideas about what to do around the resort. Following lunch at the on-property Boat Landing Cantina, we set sail for our scheduled Dolphin Quest. I’ve seen a number of resorts where you can swim with dolphins, but this one was more focused on learning about and respecting the beautiful mammals, as well as getting an up-close look at them interacting with humans—an amazing experience. We learned an awful lot about them and came away with a healthy respect for how the Hilton and its staff take care of the creatures. Later, we met up with a close friend

omeone recently asked me, “What’s the best thing about living in California?” The answer is easy—Hawaii (well, at least access to it). I’ve traveled to Hawaii many times over the years, visiting pretty much all of the islands and staying at many of the top resorts. However, this was my first trip to Hawai’i, the Big Island. The minute I stepped off the plane and felt a cool breeze and very little humidity, I knew I was going to like it. While it might not be this way year-round, or even on the other side of the island, it was a perfect Big Island introduction. Check out the following 4-day itinerary for the rest of this tropical story.

GET YOUR BUZZ ON Kona coffee is known worldwide as being one of the richest and most flavorful in the world and, while you can buy Kona blends at almost any store in California, there’s something different about enjoying it before it’s exported. It may sound crazy, but it just tastes better. (Similar to the taste of Guinness in Dublin versus the U.S.) While there, visit the coffee country and be sure to bring some home.

Mahogany canal boats

COWBOY COUNTRY A short trip north will take you up to the area known as the North Kohala Coast and Waimea—made popular for its lush rolling green pastures, cattle ranchers and, of course, cowboys—known in Hawaii as paniolos.

at his home and decided to have dinner at the Kona Inn—an iconic Kailua landmark for more than 50 years. As expected, the food was excellent, the service attentive and the ambience pure Hawaii.

DAY 3 After another delicious breakfast at the buffet, we hit the road to see the area and visit with newfound friends. Upon our return, we dressed and went for a spectacular dinner at the resort’s premier restaurant: KPC (Kamuela Provision Company). Perched at the edge of a rock wall with the ocean below, we both enjoyed cooked-to-perfection lobster and an excellent California Pinot Noir (which,

by the way, is the second best thing about the Golden State).

DAY 4 Did I mention that one of the best things to do in Hawaii is relax? Our final full day there, that’s exactly what we did—sat by the pool and the four-acre saltwater lagoon soaking in the beautiful atmosphere and weather. The resort is big, big enough that there’s a tram, as well as a canal with boats traveling from one end to the other—a wonderful way to see the property and get a feel for all that it has to offer. We decided to do a little shopping at the King’s Shops, just a short walk away from the resort’s entrance. Here you’ll find stores

Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park can be found in the southeastern side of the island, 30 miles southwest of Hilo. The park is more than 333,000 acres and boasts over 150 miles of hiking trails, scalded deserts and rainforests. There are two active volcanoes—the last of which erupted in 1984, and the second, Kilauea, which has been erupting since January 3, 1983, and has added more than 490 acres of new landmass to the island.

and boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Tommy Bahama, Tori Richard, Tiffany and many more, as well as restaurants like Roy’s and Three Fat Pigs among notable others. While this trip was more about relaxation than sightseeing, we plan to return and really see the rest of the island—particularly Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. Plus, there’s something to be said about just kicking back and hanging out without a busy agenda. I highly recommend it.

Awful Annie’s Unexpectedly Amazing by Katherine E. Leonard Photography by Dante Fontana

he first thing I thought was “Why is it called Awful Annie’s?” Does this mean that Annie is not very pleasant? Or is it the food that’s awful? After visiting for the first time one chilly afternoon, those initial thoughts couldn’t have been more wrong. After a polite young lady seated my boyfriend and I, we decided to try the Kung Pao calamari appetizer. Shortly after, our server delivered the platter of delicately fried squid and before she could set it down, our mouths began to salivate. The touch of cilantro and soft crunch of cashews mixed beautifully with the sweet and slightly spicy Thai sauce. Not too sweet, nor too spicy, it was a perfect complement to the seafood. For the main attraction, I decided to order lunch and get the chicken-portobello mushroom sandwich. The Provolone cheese oozed into the mushrooms and helped bring out the natural flavors of the chicken, while thick sourdough bread absorbed the perfect amount of sun-dried tomato aioli. As I took my first bite, I heard the crunch of lettuce and squelch of tomato and enjoyed every ingredient’s flavor (both independently and as a whole). The fries that accompanied were a hybrid between steak and shoestring, and in my opinion, they could champion the world of fried spuds. Our server recommended the Califor-

The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside, and tasted fresh, not fishy.

California Crab Cake Benedict

nia crab cake Benedict and my boyfriend couldn’t resist. Having tasted a bite, it’s easy to see why it’s winning the popularity contest. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside and delicate on the inside, and tasted fresh, not fishy. The poached eggs were perfection. Creamy yolk engulfed the cake and English muffin and, mixed with the well-made hollandaise, it made our taste buds dance. The avocado added a contrasting texture and pulled everything together deliciously. I would highly recommend Awful Annie’s because it’s anything but awful—it’s amazing!

taste MUSSELS WITH CREAM, SAFFRON AND ANGEL HAIR From Fish by Cree LeFavour; photographs by Antonis Achilleos (Chronicle Books, 2013, $27.50) The flavor of these plump bivalves is brilliant when gently paired with butter, cream and spices. Saffron and mussels are as natural together as oysters and Champagne. Add a little cream, a bit of crispy fennel, and some delicate pasta, and you have a luxurious yet uncomplicated meal.

In a large Dutch oven or pot with a lid, combine the mussels, white wine, garlic, shallot, lemon zest and thyme, and set over high heat for 10 minutes or until all the mussels are open. (Discard any that have not opened.) Turn off the heat and use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer the mussels to a mixing bowl. Reserve the cooking liquid in the pot. Once the mussels are cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the shells and set aside. (Discard the shells.) Once the pasta has cooked, toss it with the butter. Set aside. Return the cooking liquid from the mussels to medium heat and reduce for 5 minutes, or until about 1-1⁄2 cups of liquid remain. 52 stylemg.com - February 2014

dinner date Food and Wine for the Season Add the fennel bulb, cream and saffron, and reduce for 2-3 minutes over high heat. Just before serving, add the parsley and return the mussels to the sauce to reheat. Line four pasta bowls with pasta and portion out the sauce and mussels over the top. Finish with the fennel fronds, lightly torn, a pinch of flaky or coarse salt, and a generous grind of black pepper. Serves 4.

2012 CHATEAU DU JAUNAY MUSCADET SEVRE In order to be given the moniker “Muscadet,” this wine must come from France’s Loire Valley. The French have had plenty of time to perfect this vino made with Melon de Bourgogne, a grape introduced to the Valley in the early 17th century. The 2012 Chateau du Jaunay Muscadet Sevre is a wine that can be found locally for under $12 a bottle, which is a steal for such a good French white. The low alcohol content (it has to be less than 12 percent, by law) and acidity allows it to pair amazingly well with mussels, oysters and lobster. Crisp and light-bodied with flavors of melon, grapefruit and lime, it features a completely different profile from a California-grown white wine; instead, it’s more similar to a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. For a pleasant (and palate) surprise, pair it with this month’s Mussels with Cream, Saffron and Angel Hair. —Richard Righton Owner, 36 Handles and Relish Burger Bar

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you? We are primarily a ballet school, but also offer classes in jazz, contemporary, voice and piano; soon we’ll be adding tap dancing. I founded it in 2013. After retiring from my post as Placer Theatre Ballet’s artistic director and founder, I felt the need to continue teaching. What life accomplishments are you most proud of? To begin with, my children—they are all productive adults with great jobs and families; secondly, my grandchildren—although I don’t have a granddaughter, yet, I have four wonderful grandsons who make me very proud to know them; thirdly, I was blessed with God-given talents to share with others. I have been teaching for 50 years—training generations of students, their children and their children’s children. I have quite a few students who have gone on to become professionals in the dance world, and whether teachers or dancers, they make me so proud. Where do you go when the going gets tough? I go fishing! I love to fish and also love to sew—both give me great pleasure and stress relief. What’s your favorite place to eat out locally? Claim Jumper—they have the best clam chowder (being from Boston, you can imagine). What’s your favorite local business other than your own? Beverly’s Fabrics & Crafts—they have all of the supplies I need for my business and hobbies. If you could be any other profession, what would it be? A famous artist. And finally, customer service is…? We are a small, family-oriented business. Our goal is to provide excellent dance training— from the very beginner through a professional career. We care and want the community to care, too. With all the stress in the world, young and old can come and be swept away by the music, dance and friendly atmosphere.

Secrets of Success by Tom Mailey

hat makes love work? In my case, it’s my wife Vickie. I’ve never been able to prove it, but I’m pretty sure she gets some sort of secret charitable tax credit for staying with me. Nothing else explains it. Nearly 24 years together and from our first day on, I still wake up every morning pleasantly surprised she hasn’t ditched me for some dude with a Harley. But in this month of flowers and chocolates, what makes it work for others? Jana Jarvis says she and Mark, her husband of 29 years, couldn’t do it without humor. “We laugh. A lot. A lot, a lot, a lot.” While they aren’t always on the same page, she says they’ve learned to “enjoy the differences instead of being frustrated by them.” She also notes their relationship has clearly defined roles. “I am the heart; he is the head.” In my case, I believe I would be 66 stylemg.com - February 2014

the part you sit on, but I’m off point. Humor in fact, comes up a lot. Rich Carlson notes his wife Jen “...laughs— even when the jokes aren’t funny.” And Vickie Caputa’s husband, Steve, “makes [her] laugh no matter how bad the circumstances are.” Given that Steve has survived cancer and no less than a heart transplant, that’s saying something. While staying in touch is key for the busy lives of school teacher Kristi Kandt and her corrections officer-husband Darral—“we work hard to communicate and say ‘I love you’ often”—she says they also are sure to “...make time for each other. With kids, work and insane schedules, I love knowing we can reach for each other and let everything else go for a while.” Some were able to sum it up in one word.

love & marriage

According to Susan Mauer-Sullivan, it’s integrity. “I trust him and he trusts me. We both know we’re not going anywhere.” Just knowing that, she says, makes it easier to pull through the rough patches. For Kathy Tobin Rogers, it’s loyalty. “As the wife of a law enforcement officer, I’ve seen more than my share of marriages fail. Chris has never faltered—never given me any reason to doubt his love and commitment to our family and me. We took our wedding vows to heart and we’re in it for the long haul.” Carlson says if he were to narrow it down to just one thing, it wouldn’t be a word but an action. After 35 years, he says his wife, Jen, “...still stands next to me. Not in front or behind, next to me, no matter what the circumstance. That’s pretty darned cool.” He also brings up another common sentiment among the guys. “I never forget to use those three little words that seem to work magic...‘I was wrong.’” Ron Dockswell agrees. “Not necessarily saying but demonstrating that when I screw up, ‘...you were right and I’m sorry.’” Todd Ostrander put it more succinctly. “It helps being able to admit when I’m an idiot.” And 41-year marriage veteran, Tony Asaro, says it’s “all about hope, faith, commitment and forgiveness.” Also among the fellas, recognizing who is boss helps too. Bill Forslund says he’s learned to “...just smile and do what you’re told,” and Derek Beaulieu says he tries to adhere to the saying “...a happy wife is a happy life.” All of these were great answers, and anyone in a successful relationship can relate to at least a few of them. But I think my favorite overall response was the shortest. It came from eight-year marriage veteran Kirsten Vernon. She emailed to say her husband, Jake, “pauses the TV to look at me when I talk to him.” Now that’s love. But still, don’t forget the flowers and chocolates.
