Architectural Digest of Ellicottville A Condo Like No Other
Interior designer Shirley Reinhardt has taken the condo to new heights with this renovation of what would otherwise be a dull condo. Located in the Alpine Meadows condo complex, it’s no bigger than the average condo, but inside it seams not only bigger, but more opulent. The style for the decor she has chosen is “Modern French Country.” It’s a casual style, polished and sophisticated. In the kitchen, Shirley moved the sink from the back wall to a generous center work counter; this turns the cook around so that they can converse with the guests.
STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOHN THOMAS Last week this column featured a gem of a small living space, and this week we go small again, but unlike last week, this home will be on the Ellicottville Chamber’s Home and Garden Tour. Interior designer Shirley Reinhardt has taken the condo to new heights with this renovation of what would otherwise be a dull condo. Located in the Alpine
Meadows condo complex, it’s no bigger than the average condo, but inside it seams not only bigger, but more opulent. Start with the custom entertainment center/fireplace/ bar she designed for one end of the living room. It squeezes an enormous amount of use into a small stylish area. The fireplace with its stone hearth is in the center with the wide screen TV mounted over the mantle. On either side are bookcases, with the right side set up as a mini
bar. The brown suede sofa faces a huge set of windows and a sliding glass door that opens to a deck. From the deck I can see one of the advantages of this unit. It’s close to the end of the row of units, so it’s fairly private, and the deck looks out to a tree lined turn-around area. The unit is not pressed up against another set of condos, so there is a bit of a green view and a feeling of privacy. The style for the decor she has chosen is “Modern French
Country.” It’s a casual style, polished and sophisticated without being so formal you don’t want to sit down. Sitting in the conversation area I can imagine that conversations ranging from the day’s ski adventures, to the latest Wall Street news, would feel right at home here. I walk across the mahogany colored hardwood floor to the remolded kitchen. We’ve all seen the condo cliché set of hanging cabinets that divide
the kitchen from the rest of the room. What they really do is make both the kitchen and the rest of the condo seem smaller. Shirley had them removed and the entire area opened up. This allowed her to install a longer counter in the same space and provided a cozy breakfast bar and more storage. Instead of being hidden, the French Country cabinet work blends with the rest of the room. Shirley moved the sink from the back wall to a generous
center work counter; this turns the cook around so that they can converse with the guests. Both counters are light brown granite that blends beautifully with the cabinets. On the side wall the move created more room for the electric stove/ range and over-the-counter microwave oven and vent. Having created more space in this area, she ditched the usual “dinette set” in favor of a SEE HOME BACK SIDE

Day Trippin’ EBC Showcases Brewing Expertise with Historic Stein Beer Event E’VILLE - Brewing with hot stones is a centuries old tradition (500 years to be exact) and once again the Ellicottville Brewing Company celebrates the lost art of stone brewing as it hosts its 15th annual Stein (German for stone) Beer event. The Ellicottville Brewing Company’s Stein Beer Celebration takes place this Saturday, June 12 from 11am6pm ($20 per patron) at EBC’s Ellicottville restaurant, in the recently re-opened beer garden. “The Stein Beer Celebration is my personal favorite EBC event of the year because it’s fun and at the same time you learn something about different brewing techniques,” notes EBC president Peter Kreinheder. During the event, patrons are treated to EBC’s unique selection of beers and a pig roast – while at the same time the Stein or stone brewing takes place. And the brewing process is a spectacle in its own right, as large granite rocks are heated over an open cherry wood fire. In keeping with tradition, the red-hot rocks are then moved from the fire using some old logs, into a specially designed steel basket and taken to the brewing kettle (in order to heat up and boil the wort (a mix of water and barley malt). Getting the wort to the desired temperature level and then continuing to boil it involves several trips to the kettle over the course of the afternoon. “Not only is it fun to watch, but the event seems to attract a great mix of people of all ages

and walks of life who have a love for great beer,” observes Kreinheder. “And outside of Europe, you really can’t find many brewing establishments that have either the experience or the desire to stage a Stein Beer event.” Adding to the beer purist’s
delight for the Stein Brew, EBC will also be inviting guest breweries to showcase some of their beers. For more information about Saturday’s Stein Beer event, contact the Ellicottville Brewing Company at 716699-2537.

Home CONT. FROM FRONT custom dining table and actual comfortable chairs. The result is the feel of a real dining room in a modest space. The wall at this end of the condo is painted dark brown to warmth and the illusion of a larger space. Up on the loft level, one wall was extended out a bit to create more privacy for the bedroom; despite the open wall that looks down on the living room. Shirley was even able to squeeze in a bath with a shower for this bedroom. The sink and accents reflect the French Country décor and prevent the bath from looking like an afterthought. A row of hatch windows lets in the morning sun and brightens the room. A set of built-in drawers adds storage without taking up any space. Going downstairs to the bottom level, I find the fun and imaginative girls bedroom. It virtually screams “Pretty in Pink.” The room is full of fun accents: hanging by the custom built bunk beds is a chandelier, and wrapped around two walls is a hand painted mural of, what else? A Paris street scene. The master bath features a custom walk-in tile shower with a full length glass door, in place of the standard tub. The bath feels like a bathroom you would find in a much larger home. While small by any standard, the master bedroom features custom furniture and bedding that create the feel of a larger room. There is a sitting area at the end of the queen sized bed. The chandelier over the sitting area adds an elegant touch. Next to the wall mounted TV is a good sized walk-in closet. As I go to leave, I notice the entry area is designed as a mini mud room. There are benches for changing out of wet boots, cubbies with baskets, and plenty of hooks for hanging wet gear. The porcelain tile floor echoes the colors in the kitchen and the rest of the home. Outside, the exterior is the usual uniform
