Welcome

Brona Stockton Associate Publisher

All of us at Texas Home & Living hope that you and your kith and kin had a great winter holiday. Now that we are into the New Year it feels like a time of excitement and inspiration. How do we follow up 2010 with an even stronger 2011?

Well, you can take a lead from the designers featured in our Bathroom Design 2011. One of our major annual features, the Bathroom Design special is filled with fresh, nuanced views on ways to enliven and advance one of your home’s essential spaces. We are thinking you will come away from the article with an appreciation for the design talent featured and, hopefully, a few new ideas for yourself.

You can also bring in 2011 with a visit to our state capital and to the Kreiss Austin Showroom. A lavish new edition to Austin’s downtown furniture and interior decoration scene, Kreiss is a name to know if you are interested in high-end home furnishings. In “So Much to See,” our in-depth look at Kreiss Austin, Principle/Owner Todd Slaughter explains why the company chose Texas as the place for its flagship stand.

Or take a trek over to McKinney, Texas in “Food, Farming and Antiques,” where Kaci Lyford talks about her groundbreaking new shopping experience, Patina Green. A one-of-a-kind, family-owned farmer’s market, Patina Green maximizes its healthy eating choices and environmentally-conscious business operations in ways both responsible and ingenious. Not only that, they have a delicious lunch service that changes its menu daily. This has to be one of the most unique shopping experiences in all of Texas.

We’re confident that 2011 will be a strong, growing year with plenty of warm, enjoyable experiences and home-making breakthroughs. Let the New Year be-gin with style!

&Beautiful Bedrooms Baths of Texas By Jolie Carpenter

TThe book jacket of Signature Publishing Group’s Beautiful Bedrooms & Baths of Texas features a picture of the lovely author, Jolie Carpenter, shrewdly smiling at the reader. Like Mozart in one of the opera scenes from Amadeus, she wears the expression of

someone who knows her audience is about to be impressed.

Beautiful Bedrooms and Baths is a remarkable collection of the best work

from a large group of Texas’ top design firms. Many illustrious names – includ-

ing Texas Home & Living alumni such as Dick Clark and Jane-Page Crump

The simple, clean interior of the master bedroom is defined by painted wood and a vaulted ceiling, which balance the more uneven character of the antique wood floor.

book notes

book notes– roll through the book, accompanied by immaculate photographs, sympathetic introductory paragraphs and informative captions alongside the shots of the design-ers’ creations.

The majority of the book is dedicated to striking portraits of various bedrooms and baths, but Carpenter deftly avoids the redundant image arrangement that dimin-ishes so many homemaking books. The page design and layout is immersive and continually varied so that readers don’t catch a case of eye fatigue. Other than the sumptuous baths and bedrooms, the book’s color scheme is the prettiest thing about it.

With 40 different companies repre-sented in Beautiful Bedrooms & Baths’ 400 pages, an astounding array of styles and approaches greets the eyes. For example, the Dallas-based Hayslip Design Associ-ates’ master bath is so feminine, bright and frilly it could be put to good use by Marie Antoinette. However, in the very same city, Barry A. Martin Painting Contractors have designed a children’s bunk room – the “Three Bears” – that would be at home in a Norman Rockwell piece.

Many of the spaces are photographed with a cinematic eye. Barry Marble and Granite, from West Tyler, has a mas-ter shower space photographed with an active shower stream and the shower doors opened onto the house’s second-floor ter-race. The view of the surrounding trees is seen through running water. One mind-boggling shot is taken from the base of a four-story cylinder stairway that acts as the “backbone” of a home by Dallas-based

Venetian plaster, rose quartz and rock crystals lend subtle drama to an opulent and ultra-feminine space, forging a sumptuous bath as well as ample dressing and office areas.

Lambert’s. The stairway is so immense that the angle makes it into an optical illusion.

Carpenter and her editors have outdone themselves with this book, and the exam-ples held within represent the best of bed-room and bath design available to Texans. Some of these may be too overstuffed for some and others might be too modern and spare. It comes down to the individual reader’s taste. However, each of these spaces are put together with the absolute control of a master craftsman or woman. The book that houses them is equally confident; the photography, design and even writing (which can be tedious in this type of book) are the best they can be. Homeowners with a critical eye will find a lot to pore over and will probably see one or two things that are totally new to them. Carpenter’s knowing smile is well-earned. TH&L

As of right now, Kreiss Austin is the only flagship store for the company in Texas. The other locations in Dallas and Hous-ton have closed their doors. However, the company plans to re-open the two stores in different areas of both major cities in 2011. A move into San Antonio is also in the cards. While Kreiss maintains a gallery program where their products are sold in general furniture stores in a special section, these new outlets will be made up of 100% Kreiss items.

As a Licensed Showroom (Kreiss’ ver-sion of a “franchise”), Kreiss Austin side-steps the corporate-run label. As the first such showroom Kreiss operates indepen-dent of the San Diego empire (which holds 14 corporate stores under its umbrella), the Austin store will break the ground for the future Dallas, Houston and San Antonio developments, which will also by Licensed Showrooms. “As we re-open in Texas, the Licensed Showroom reach will continue to grow,” Slaughter assures.

The move to Sixth was based on the age-old business practicality of supply and demand.

“We found this downtown location very desirable,” Slaughter explains. “This sec-tion of 6th Street has a lot of other ten-ants – Edgar Kelly Rugs, Herron Williams, Chris Lewis Architects, art galleries – that are immersed in the Austin culture. Also there’s the growing high-rise market all around us, with The Spring, The Austo-nian, The Four Seasons and more. The growth in downtown housing creates need for furnishings in that area.”

Kreiss Austin opened in September and Slaughter says the store has been “doing great” in its first three months. “This prod-uct is very well-received here. People walk in the door everyday surprised to be in a Kreiss showroom in Austin. As we begin the marketing push through local media

One of Austin’s major hubs for high culture is the string of shops that dot west 6th Street, before it turns into the bar crawl a few blocks down. It is at this vibrant location – 1214 West 6th Street, to be exact – that San Diego-based furniture and interior decoration company Kreiss has

erected Kreiss Austin, the first in a planned line of showrooms in Texas dedicated solely

to Kreiss furnishings.

“Kreiss is a 73-year old company that has had locations in Dallas and Houston,” says

Todd Slaughter, the principal/owner of Kreiss Austin. “But we sold a lot of furniture and

it should produce a steady traffic flow into the store,” Slaughter states.

Kreiss is a family-owned and run com-pany that builds all of its furniture on-site in three large factories. Customers at Kreiss are guaranteed that anything they buy is all-American made. Slaughter describes Kreiss’ product line as “unique, both with uphol-stery and case goods. We have dining room furniture, cabinetry, beds and more than 300 kinds of accessories – rugs, drapes, etc.”

“These are classic lines,” Slaughter contin-ues. “Many of the pieces are staple pieces and have been in the collection since the begin-ning, like the Deco-inspired Gatsby collec-tion. Some of the newer stuff is beautiful, like our Mambo Section. People can spot a Kreiss piece just from its look and classic lines.”

The company can do an entire interior design project for a hypothetical customer. If he or she wants the Panama living room collection but has walls that are not tall enough to hold Kreiss’ design, the design-ers can cut it down to fit the demand. “Anything in our line is customizable to our client’s needs,” Slaughter assures. “Larger, smaller, deeper, wider, changing the nail-head trim, anything.”

Lauren Kreiss, the 4th-generation family member to take the company mantle, has steered the company into the type of busi-ness opportunity Kreiss Austin represents. On November 19th another showroom was opened in Boca Raton.

“It allows us to have growth in what many see as a down economy,” Slaughter says. “For me, entering this market, we’re perfectly situated as the economy hope-fully improves in spring. We’ll ride the wave until the recession ends and when the market turns around you’re back where you want to be.”

There are a few new highlights of the Kre-iss line – the Leone Collection, for instance, which mixes indoor and outdoor pieces for an unusually versatile line of furniture. Also there is the aforementioned Mambo Section, which Todd assures is “selling hot.”

“The entire collection is beautiful,” Slaughter enthuses. “There is so much to see; the detail and quality of the pieces, the stitching, it’s all worth seeing in person.” TH&L

written last summer when Patina Green Home and Market, a one-of-a-kind, family-owned farmer’s market and antiques store, opened its doors to the public. Debuting in June, the store has “been a whirlwind ever since,” says Kaci Lyford, Patina Green’s interior designer.

“It’s a very unique store with a lot going on,” Lyford says. “It sounds like a lot when you put it into words. The front part is a farmer’s market. We sell all farmers’ produce and support local farms. We sell artisan breads, cheeses made in Texas; actually, all of our products are Texas-made within a small amount of miles. My husband, Robert, is a classically-trained chef and he puts the lunch service together every day. He uses local and seasonal ingre-dients and the menu changes daily. The lunch sells out everyday, which is pretty amazing. It’s gone by two o’clock. Additionally, there’s a small place to sit in front and join us for lunch and you can buy all of our ingredients. We also sell farm-fresh milk, organic chicken, grass-fed beef, a lot of organic and natural prod-ucts, which are, again, all-local.”

Lyford continues, “There is a transition halfway into the store from a farmer’s market into a home market, where we sell one-of-

food, farming and antiques

a-kind antiques. We travel to Europe twice a year to get a lot of antiques, but we also do a lot of ‘junkin’ in Texas for get unique finds. We mix those in with locally hand-made objects – candles, soap – that go to support local artisans. It’s a place for artsy gifts that support the small guy and local markets while being green and environmentally conscious. We are trying not to buy new things, but rather re-use and re-purpose items that still have value.”

Patina Green’s blog (patinagreen.typepad.com) lays out their reminder to all: “And we know one thing for certain, that in this life . . . nothing is for certain. So we have to grab where we can and do the best with what we have and just go for it!” It truly is a family store, with Kaci acting as interior designer, her mother Luann taking care of the retail side and Robert as head chef.

An additional perk to Patina Green is its location. Patina holds down the fort in one of Texas’ most storied areas.

“[Downtown McKinney] was established in 1841,” Lyford says. “It’s an old town with the original courthouse and buildings. We’re in a building that’s 120 years old. When we moved in we stripped it down to give it its original look. Now we have the

original floors and brick walls and a tin ceiling. It’s great to have an old building with personality.”

The family in charge of the Patina takes to a conservationist sentiment inside its walls, as well. They have implemented numerous environmentally-conscious busi-ness strategies. One strategy is recycling shopping bags for customers’ use.

According to Kaci, Patina Green Home and Market was a long-fermenting germ of a dream that gradually grew into a reality.

“My mom and I have been doing the antiques, on the home side, for years,” Lyford explains. “We were selling at different stores for years. Likewise, I had always talked about working with my husband. We eat organic/healthy at home, we go to farms, and we wanted to give that to the populace – a local deli or market where people can get a healthy alternative. We’ve been talking about it for years and finally took the big leap.”

Lyford stresses the authentic nature of the Patina Green shopping experience.

“Antiques are fun, because when a piece sells, that’s the only one. You have to replace it with something different. This keeps it new and exciting for customers. Unique, one-of-a-kind items are selling well; just trying to keep up with replace-ments has been hard.”

Now the store is open and has seen its popularity grow concurrently with its lifes-pan. What further development does Kaci see for Patina Green?

“As far as ‘growing,’ at least product-wise, we want to be a full grocery and have everything you need,” Kaci says. She emphasizes that “We will always be chang-ing. I don’t see us getting gigantic, though. The idea is to be a small, family-run busi-ness. The feeling inside is quaint and that’s how people like it. Our next step in the home department is adding in home design services for our clients. We get requests daily for design tips. The goal is to move into that at some point.”

For now, residents (and visitors) of McK-inney have one of the homiest and cozy stores around at their disposal. If you need some milk and a new couch and you’re in town, you know where to go. TH&L

designer profile

TH&L: Tell me a little about your background. What made you decide to become an interior designer?MBC: Space, geometry and color have al-ways been passions and strengths of mine. As a small child I would build my Barbie doll houses and offices – never played with the dolls. In 6th grade we moved to Austin. My mother was working with her interior designer for our new home. They couldn’t get the color right. I, of course, had a suggestion, “It needs more brown.” The interior designer looked at my mother and said, “She has an incredible eye for color.” It was second nature to me, it just needed more brown. And then I found out people would pay me to work in my passion.

TH&L: When did you create The Bommarito Group and how did it come about?MBC: My passion has always been design-

marla Bommarito CrouchTHe BommArITo GrouP


ing interior spaces. The way that space affects human behavior and performance could be af-fected by design. After graduation in the mid 70s from UT with a degree in interior design and a minor in architecture, I went to work for Clegg/Austin, a commercial design firm within a dealership. There were some tough financial times in the industry then. The owner came to Austin to assess the situation. My re-sponse to him was, “Sure I can do it, what do you need?” I didn’t know what I didn’t know. In a few years we were in the black and I want-ed ownership. The Bommarito Group spun off from this business in 1984.

TH&L: What is your design philosophy? MBC: There are a number of philosophies that drive me and my company.• Design matters. Everything must be de-

signed. • Spaces are either designed deliberately or

by default, but it is a design process wheth-er you recognize it or not – good or bad.

• There is more than one right answer to ev-ery design challenge.

• If a design can be great, why stop at good?• The quantity and quality of design needs to

vary with each project. • Slowly educate the client and work within

their business plan, which includes their schedule and budget.

• Clients rule! Don’t forget who brought you to the table.

• A strong design team produces a strong de-sign solution.

• Ceilings are the most neglected design ele-ment in a space.

• People must use the space. People-friendly is imperative.

• The creation of new designs is what makes great design. Using the same solutions may be by habit and not fit the problem. Be cre-ative with each problem.

• Don’t be afraid to challenge yourself with design. This is when the best solutions are created.

• Brainstorm. Some of the best designs are created from simple comments made by the client, non-designers or young designers. Listen and HEAR what is really being said.


TH&L: What is the biggest challenge you have overcome being in the design industry?MBC: Managing my passion and enthusiasm for great design.

TH&L: What do you consider your biggest professional accomplishment?MBC: In my opinion, my greatest professional accomplishment has been surrounding myself with very talented people. This includes the employees of The Bommarito Group, consultants on our projects, friends and especially clients. I look to all of them to be a mentor to me in their own way. As a result of the talent of the team, The Bommarito Group has won 89 design awards to date. I tease the staff that at the 100th award I may retire. Maybe I will.

TH&L: Who has been a mentor?MBC: My mentors are many. I learn from so many different individuals, but most important, I recognize that just about everyone can mentor me in some way.

TH&L: Who or what gives you inspiration?MBC: Great design challenges, philanthropy successes, humor, love, family and God.

TH&L: What is a favorite interior you have seen on your travels?MBC: One favorite interior? What a tough question. Are you kidding? I love so much. I will start with my own house and my office. Recently I have been traveling to NYC. The hotels, lofts, restaurant and office designs are exceptional, but I will have to say that my trips to Italy and the interior spaces there are always inspirational. How could I not say the Vatican?

TH&L: Describe one of your most memorable projects to date. MBC: In 1994, the architects for Brackenridge Children’s Hospital asked me to select colors for the Pediatric Oncology department that was going into the basement of the hospital for just a year. After I re-viewed the project and the real needs I returned with the response, “I cannot do this. These patients, families and workers all deserve more than just colors. We need to create an environment that feels healthy and invigorating,” (even though there is not natural light). We came up with five or six concepts and settled on The Park. This was age-appropriate for all of their patients and comforting for families. The front lobby boasted a picket fence with wooden trees and flowers. A kite was added and Tom Kite stepped forward and donated what was needed financially to create this environment for these patients, families and workers.

What was originally intended for a year, the department stayed more than 10 years. When this department moved, the space remained and others occupied it. The project was the beneficiary of three design awards as well as a $5,000 Design Award gift. We donated that to Candlelighters, the philanthropy group that takes care of families who have children diagnosed with cancer. The need for giving through our design is more fulfilling than just writing a check.

When this group of doctors moved in 2001 to the Dell Children’s Hospital, we were called again. Not a park this time, but a train depot. After tests come back on a child a doctor may take a parent into “The Room.” They explain that they will be going on a trip, some good days and some not so good. Each exam room is a stop that was provided by the community.

TH&L: What is in your design library?MBC: My library is filled with books that have lots of pictures, architectur-al drawings or colored photographs. There are never enough images to view. Can you imagine how attorneys, accountants or engineers survive with no pictures in all of their books, ok maybe a graph once in a while?

TH&L: What are some of your favorite materials to work with?MBC: Glass – So much color and texture not to mention the way it can be used to make interior spaces flow physically and visually. Wood – There are so many unusual species of wood available. It is especially gratifying to use a wood that has been certified by the Forest Steward-ship Council (FSC). Wool – It is not only beautiful and dyes well, but it is sustainable. Granite – The hardest stone ever and with all of the colors and patterns it allows for many options for creativity.

TH&L: Do you have a go-to color? If so, what is it?MBC: I will admit it. RED! Love it! In grade school that was the first crayon that was worn out in the box. Red can vary in location, propor-tion and can be successfully used as a small trim or the entire wall. No guts, no glory! But I have learned restraint.…

TH&L: What do you love most about being a designer?MBC: Every day is a different day. There are new challenges that allow a designer to create a different answer for every challenge. Learn from what has been done, apply that and then use the right brain with current technology to create the newest solutions.

When we are recognized by our peers for our good work, the pat on the back is very much appreciated. Design awards are movitating. The cli-ents at The Bommarito Group are superlative. Many are repeat or referred.

The team at The Bommarito Group is also incredible. They have been with the company for many years. We complete each others’ sentences while being tough and always expecting a higher standard. In the early 90s Marc Bove, my partner, brought to my attention that we had won a design award every year since 1988 while never missing one year. Now the pressure is on to not miss the trend. Janu-ary 2nd we look at each other and don’t need to say a thing. We all know it is at the top of the goals list. Design awards are our gift back to our clients. They are also a gift to the employees who work tirelessly above and beyond.

TH&L: Tell me about an average day for you. MBC: Many times I awake at 2 a.m. and work for a few hours. I rise for the day no later than 6:00. After a quick review of email, I


am on the streets walking my dog Ella and delivering my neighbors’ newspapers to their front door. [It feels great to do something nice for someone and they don’t know who did it. For almost a year I was not caught, now about 75 percent of the neighborhood has figured out it is me.] By 7 a.m., if not before, I am sending, reading or evaluating more emails. I come to the office anytime from 7-10 a.m. depending on the schedule for the day and how much more I could do productively at home. The first action is re-viewing the previous day’s to-do list of what did not get done, writing the current day’s to-do list for and evaluating what can be del-egated and what is the priority.

Then we get to design, evaluate project pro-cesses, review financials, build relationships, solve problems and yes, create problems.

The day never passes that I am not doing something for a philanthropy either for 10 min-utes or 10 hours. My family and my staff allow me to indulge in the community.

I never miss lunch even though many times I will eat at my desk. My secretary once told me that I was mean if I didn’t eat. I took her seriously. This was after she kept bringing me food. I love to eat. The afternoon is more of the same. Love it! Oh, did I mention that my job is my hobby? Prior to going home, many times I have a philanthropy event. I spend the eve-ning with my husband. We bounce ideas off of each other, discuss world affairs and work on new business ideas. I will do the neighbor-hood walk again, then stay up until midnight, then crash. My mind is either very active or crashing, nothing in between.

TH&L: Do you have a personal philosophy for life? MBC: Many! Each I passionately live by. • Family first, not just their needs but also their

wants.• Whatever it is that got you to where you are

today is not enough to keep you there.• I take from the community; I will give to the

community.• It is easier to ask forgiveness than ask per-

mission.• Honor and character is more important than

money and intelligence.

TH&L: Is there anything you would like to add?MBC: My heritage is exceptionally important to me.

After a four-year research project, I submitted all of the paperwork to secure dual citizenship for my parents, my daughter and me. Our passports should arrive shortly at which time I will return and walk through the resident’s line at customs. Another goal crossed off the list. TH&L

HHaving a vacation home that you visit a time or two each year may be enough for some folks, but for a family of four living in Hous-ton, having even more of a good thing sounded much better. That’s why, after building a getaway home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in 2006, they decided

to begin working on a 15,000-square-foot home in the master-planned community of

The Woodlands, just outside of Houston. They wanted the residence to be closely mod-

eled after their vacation home, so they enlisted the design team in charge of the Mexico

project to work their magic once again.

Designing a home that was to have all the luxury and charm of a getaway spot yet be

functional for everyday living was no problem for Wendy Capell and Nancy Charbon-

neau, founders of the aptly-named Charpell Luxury Interiors. To begin, they met with the

family to determine the basic floor plan. Because the owners have two teenage daughters,

they wanted the downstairs to be a place where the teens and their friends would want to


spend time. “The parents also wanted to be able to see what was going on without the kids feeling stifled,” explains Wendy.

The design duo worked alongside the architecture-building firm Jauregui of Houston to come up with a floor plan that made everyone happy. The plan closely connected the kitchen, family room, game room and media room to promote togeth-erness but also included pocket doors between the rooms to allow for privacy when desired. Two of the five bedrooms, a wine room and an exercise room would also be located on the first floor, with the remaining bedrooms and the husband’s study on the second floor.

With the basic plan in place, Wendy and Nancy let their creativity loose – choosing the materials, fabrics and furnishings that would outfit the interiors in their current old-world Mediterranean style. (Because the family was so happy with the results in Cabo, Wendy and Nancy were given carte blanche on the project.) For their inspira-tion, the design pair first recalled their work in Mexico. “The owners wanted the same feel for this home that we had cre-ated in Mexico,” explains Nancy. “We just made it a little less vacation home and a little more residence,” adds Wendy.

From first glance, the home belies its South-of-the-Border roots. The exterior style, with the white stucco and patterned tile roof, is borrowed from the haciendas in Mexico, says Wendy. As with any well-designed home, the entrance indicates what is to come – in this case, an impres-sive but welcoming display of fine detail. The cherry-wood front door was bleached to remove the wood’s natural reddish hue and finished with a stain with gold under-tones to compliment the interior. Nearby,

the risers of the stone stairs leading to the second story are carved with a scrolled pat-tern to match the iron in the front door. Finally, the iron railing along the steps was custom-welded to match a pattern.

The color palette of the interiors and throughout was also borrowed from the home in Mexico where warm shades reigned supreme. Color in the home does more than provide visual appeal. “The owners are not really formal people, so they wanted a spacious home that would be comfortable and warm, not ostenta-tious,” says Wendy. Nancy explains, “It’s the rich golds, chocolate browns and spice colors that lend the home a welcoming feel despite its size.”

To add an element of sentiment to each home they design, Wendy and Nancy encourage the owners to collect what they call “investment pieces” that will increase in value over time and can be passed down to future generations. In this home, the pieces are an array of exclusive Turkish and

opposite page This sink and mirror combo gives off a cinematic feel.


Tibetan rugs – “the best knotted rugs that you can find,” declares Nancy. In addition to their sentimental value, Nancy says the rugs also help anchor the rooms, prevent-ing them from feeling too large.

While there are rugs from Turkey and Tibet in the home and pieces of pot-tery purchased during the owner’s travels through Europe, artwork on the walls is scarce. And, really, it’s is no wonder – the walls themselves are masterpieces. Each room features a different shade of paint applied with a faux-finish. Even more impressively, a local artist using free-hand technique adorned many of the walls throughout the home. In the entryway, a chandelier floats under a medallion of blue sky and clouds. (The same pattern appears in the exercise room.) In the hallway leading to the master bathroom, a scroll pattern graces each arch and in one of the teenage daughter’s bedrooms, a leopard print ceiling adds flair.

While it is easy to keep the eyes focused upward in the home, the floors deserve more than a mere glance. Travertine tiles with a chiseled edge are laid creatively throughout, as are the bricks in the wine room, which form a herringbone pattern. Because Nancy and Wendy were unable to find just the right flooring for the bedrooms, they had hickory planks hand-scraped and tarnished to add character. “We also added a French bleed, which gives it the dark seam where the planks meet.”

The finished surfaces are eye-catching, but the furnishings deserve equal atten-tion. Many of the pieces throughout the home were custom-designed and hand-painted, such as the built-in shelving along the fireplace in the living room and the captain’s chairs in the living room. A baby grand piano in the foyer serves as both entertainment and eye appeal.

But not all the home’s features worth mentioning are aesthetically-motivated. For example, the home features three laun-dry rooms – one is located near the pool for convenient laundering of wet towels. A steam shower is located near the window-walled exercise area, and the family’s cats



have their own room, complete with pet door, where their food and other necessities are stored.

Indeed, despite its old-world feel, the residence is not without its modern marvels. The home features “smart house” technology, which allows well-placed panels to control the heating and cool-ing, music and lights throughout the home. The study features three flat-screen televisions placed side-by-side to aid the hus-band’s work, while the media room has velvet, remote-controlled panels covering the television and twinkling fiber-optic lighting overhead.

above The home’s moody, romantic bath.

opposite page top Beautiful rugs, a chocolate-colored bed and extended seating area in a master bedroom.

opposite page bottom Another of the home’s bedrooms, ornate and high-end in a totally different way.

The outdoor spaces have a lavish vibe befitting the interiors. A semi-enclosed outdoor living and dining area, perfect for enter-taining, feature durable teak furniture upholstered with outdoor fabric. Just a few feet away, an outdoor kitchen includes all the expected amenities.

The real show-stopper of the outdoors is the pool area. Bridges over the pool lead to a concrete island, complete with fire pit and seating. If that wasn’t enough, the umbrellas on the patio double as shading tools and pieces of art. They were painted by the same artist who embellished the interiors and were also wired to illumi-nate the pool area at night. “We had to plan the pool decking to include a power source where each umbrella would be so that they could light up,” explains Wendy.

From the front entrance to the backyard patio, it is clear that no detail was too small to deserve Nancy and Wendy’s creative attention. The result of their efforts is a home that would appeal to even the most selective vacationer but is perfect for year-round living. Wendy sums up the project well: “I think the whole home is pretty amazing.” TH&L

This room is decked out with multiple comfy seating options.

LLike so many great projects, this one started out with a conservation and vision.

David Fuller of Alyson Jon Interiors in Austin was approached by David Lyne of VII Custom Homes to furnish a 4-bedroom, 4 1/2-bath home he was building

for the 57th Annual HBA Parade of Homes that took place in October.

After discussing the future of home construction, builder and designer came up with a

new look – Hill Country contemporary. Fuller set out to bring transitional and contempo-

rary styles together in a warm, inviting and accessible way.

“In Austin, there are basically two types of architecture being constructed – the Tus-

can feel, which we are very familiar with, and high contemporary,” Fuller said. “People

who are getting out of those particular looks and want something different, don’t know

where to go.”

“For us it was refreshing to get away from Mediterranean and Tuscan styles,” said Lyne,

president of VII Custom Homes.

The home has a nice Hill Country look, he said. It is transitional – not shocking –


although he and Fuller focused on cleaner lines.“So many people are looking at the transitional look – softer,

traditional type look – and so many people are liking the look of contemporary, but they are scared of the coldness they feel it has,” Fuller said.

Fuller’s design process started with the front door, which has a travertine stone entry. Travertine plank floors continue through the great room to the covered outdoor living space beyond ten-foot sliding glass doors. Fuller arranged the outdoor living area to face into the home to create one large living and entertaining space when the doors are open.

“When you are in this house – you are both in and out at the same time,” Fuller said.

To create defined spaces with such an open floor plan, Fuller turned to cabinet finishes and carefully selected colors.

“In this house, when you are standing in the entry, you can look straight from the great room to the kitchen to the kitchen niche and into the family room,” Fuller said. “You don’t want them to be the same room, you want them to be separate, but cohesive.”

In the great room, Fuller set the tone for a color scheme of various

shades of charcoal – from medium to light grays – carried through-out the home. High-back chairs upholstered in a chenille striped fabric with silver nail heads anchor the room. Two cheetah-print pillows sit on the silver-white sofa that has legs capped in silver.

“I love [animal prints], just love them,” Fuller said. “They never go out of style. They always add texture to a room, and to me, they work well in whatever room you put them in.”

“Whenever you look at something, it’s not accenting it just by a color, but accenting it by a style. Tremendously stylish fabrics that all work together.”

The great room’s mantle was one of the several changes Fuller made with Lyne. Originally, a traditional stone mantle was planned, but Fuller wanted something sculptural. Lyne and his craftsman fabricated the slat-on-slat wooden mantle and finished it with an espresso stain.

Fuller selected mostly contemporary accessories and transi-tional furniture.

“I did a minimalist look. And in my minimalist look I made sure that every single piece was important in the house. There were no fillers. My accessories – artwork – were the same way. I used very

few accessories, but each one stood out.”“Contemporary, for me, feels like art. That is why I used the

contemporary accents – the artwork and stylish fabrics.”A chocolate brown and blue, raised-velvet, patterned fabric

covers the dining room chairs. An irregular-patterned rug adds another layer of texture. And the laser-cut wood table gives the final touch of different patterns and textures working together as well as independently.

The niche just off the kitchen was designed to go with both the kitchen and media room. A lamp made of little mirrors above the table gives the room a sparkly look and the chocolate brown leather chairs with woven fabric backs ground the room. The yellow in the Art Deco panels leaning against the wall tie the kitchen niche to the media room’s bongo barstools.



The outside of the view of the house flows naturally from left to right.

opposite page bottom The home’s bathroom, complete with chandelier, cen-tral bench and fun ornamentation.

Bongo barstools are traditionally covered in leather, Fuller says. But he decided to have a little fun with giant yellow velvet circles, which add movement to the room.

“It puts a smile on your face,” Fuller said. “The room has a bit of humor to it.”

In the master bedroom, Fuller added small blue accents to the shades of charcoal to indicate the transition from the main living area to another space.

As if a perfect blend of transitional and contemporary were not enough, for Fuller the house needed to be glamorous as well. And the master bathroom has an ultra-glam feel with reflective glass tile, a sunken Roman tub, hand-blown Italian fixtures, and mirrored sconces.

Fuller selected several paintings by Marks to feature in the great

room above the large sliding doors, dining room, master bedroom and media room behind the bar.

“I wanted to have very, very good art in this house to illustrate how you can just buy a single piece for a room and be drawn to it,” he said. “You don’t need to have eight or nine pieces in a room. You can just enjoy a single, well-done piece of art.”

“This house has a great wow factor. There were 20,000 people who came to the home. People would literally come through the front door and say, ‘Wow.’”

“Trusting a designer can be a difficult thing to do,” Lyne said. “But we went out on a limb and it turned out beautiful.”

“Everyone had something different they loved about the home,” he said, which is unusual for him. For the most part, there is one element of a home everyone loves. But not with this home.

People who have never considered liking contemporary won-dered why they liked the house, Fuller said.

“What they were experiencing wasn’t the coldness of contem-porary that they were afraid of, but the warm and inviting of transitional mixed with contemporary.”

“This will take a very unique individual,” he said. “I think the person who ends up buying this house will have a very strong sense of style and taste.” TH&L

Another view of the living room, this time showing off the couch and coffee table.

inset The living room before the modern make-over.

MMarriage is not only a spiritual joining of people, but also one of tastes, specifically the look and feel of the space two people are to inhabit.

The integration of two very different design aesthetics is precisely what Austin-based interior designer Julie Evans was charged with. A newly married couple in their 40s and

50s had differing tastes – his, masculine, Tuscan, and rust and browns; hers – light, airy and artistic.

Evans and her team didn’t change any of the flooring or take on any construction. They didn’t

even change the wall color because it was a good neutral, Evans said.

Fortunately for homeowner and designer, the home had really good bones and architecture,

which allowed them to get creative elsewhere.

They focused on colors, upholstery, accessories and arrangement – all with the purpose of

creating a vibrant and light look and feel.

“So many people jumped into the idea of Tuscan and now want to update it a little bit,” Evans

said. “This is a really good example of how you can infuse elements that are more transitional in

style that still look appropriate with the architecture.”

The design scheme for these three rooms – family room, living room and breakfast room – blos-

somed from silk Bergamo fabric that Evans found in her box of favorites, which she turned into pil-

lows. The watercolor-like design is saturated with color that appears to be bleeding into the fabric,

which adds movement to the pillows and an artistic feel.


Abstract art and purposeful decoration imbues this light fireplace with personality.

From the second story to the first, the color scheme maximizes space.

Evans purchased only a few new pieces of furniture for the project – an end table, two accent chairs, a sofa, and a new copper breakfast table, which reflects light. The rest of the furniture was reupholstered with fabrics that added light, color, and a bit of sheen, like the velvet on the sofas.

Strategically-placed mirrors and glass pieces bounce light around the rooms, creating an airy, energized space.

“Vibrancy doesn’t necessarily have to mean color,” Evans said. “It can be just the lightness of the room. You can have a monochromatic room and still have it be vibrant.”

Evans also played with the arrangement of the fur-niture. If the furniture is too large for the space, or if there is too much of it, it affects the feel and flow, she said.

The abstract painting above the mantel in the liv-ing room pulls all the colors together. Evans found it from a traveling artist representative and just sort of “lucked” into it.

“It made the room and enhanced the height of the space,” she said. “It just changed everything altogether.”

From her shop, Evans pulled the emerald lamp with large white circles that now sits in the living room.

“We buy things because we think they’re cool,” she said. “Then when we need them, we’ll have them.”

Turquoise draperies in the living room make the space look larger because the color brings the outside in. People don’t realize how much effect window treatments have on a space, especially blue as it is the color of the sky, Evans said.

“The blues have more life,” she said. And the client loves them.

“They both feel good in it. He was afraid it might be too feminine,” Evans said. “She was feeling it was too masculine. But it is really gender neutral. It just feels good and it’s happy.”

The design concept was tempered by the possibil-ity the couple would eventually build a new home together.

“They’ve already gone through the process of what they both like and don’t like. Sometimes when a cou-ple is building that can be one of the hardest parts of the process, just finding out what each other’s tastes are.”

With a future move in mind, Evans and her team selected furniture, fabrics, accessories and colors that could easily transfer to a new space, and would all work together.

“It really does reflect both of their tastes. That’s what a successful project is.” TH&L

TThere are so many beautiful ideas here. Every year Texas Home & Living looks forward to the chance to talk with some of Texas’ best designers for our annual Bathroom Design fea-ture. From earthy and rustic to elegant and chic, from round and short to cozy and tall, with remodels and fresh construc-tions, a plethora of bath design approaches and details are held in the following pages. Dive in and see the best in Texas bath-room design.

An Enticing Powder RoomJEI Design, IncDesigner: Julie EvansPhotographer: Brio Yiapan

Austin, Texas, Westlake area is the location of this sophisticated powder room from JEI Design. It was designed by Evans herself.

“This Powder Room is part of a new construction project,” Evans says. “JEI was involved from the very beginning. The unusual shape of the room forces the eye to go to the wall where the sink is located, so I knew that the wall needed to have an interesting texture or feature. We used a tiny, linear stone mosaic that we installed vertically to emphasize the height of the space. A tarnished silver round mirror was used as a counterpoint and a metal vessel sink with a wall-mounted polished nickel faucet on the honed Crema Marfil-clad counter completes the look. The remaining walls are a soft plaster finish that reinforces the layering of subtle textures and finishes.”

Evans’ Westlake clients wanted something special for their powder room while keeping the space’s timeless and clean-lined feel. One difficulty in implementing this vision was finding a light fixture at the correct size and scale that properly complemented the space. Evans and her team simply had one made for them, and the finish on the fixture replicates the naturally patinaed finish on the mirror.

“We finished the space with Conrad shades and a good oil painting for a truly sophisticated look,” says Evans. “The clients love the finished product. They love the complementing details and that it is actually a lovely, quiet, enticing space.”

The 2011 Bathroom Design Special


Sensuous Master Bath EscapeBy Design Interiors, Inc.Designer: Cindy Alpanalp, ASIDPhotographer: Brad Carr

This particular client found lauded designer Cindy Aplanalp on the ASID’s website (asid.org) and was intrigued by her master bath renovation that won the 2009 Houston’s Best Award (formerly the Prism Award). Almost everything about this bathroom was transformed from an outdated, almost unusable space to a stylish bathroom retreat.

“This couple was very well traveled and had been captured by the style in Indonesia,” Cindy says. “For a designer, this is the absolute best place to start a design, in the ‘feeling’ realm. The clients are not only both attractive people – he’s a tall, dark and handsome doctor and she’s a knock-out blonde model – they also love to have fun. This is their second home and it is all about the party! I wanted to make this bathroom fall in line with the rest of the house.”

Fortunately, the space Cindy and her team (Contractor Breck Pow-ers, By Design Interiors design staff Amber Reddoch and Erika Barczak, Faux Finisher Laurie Lopez, Kathy Johnson from Bath and Kitchen Show-place) had to work with was large. There was an enormous cultured

marble bathtub in the middle of the room, a large two-headed shower and a long run of vanity space.

“I engaged the forces of water and fire by highlighting a claw foot bathtub with an EcoSmart Fire burner,” Cindy explains. “All of the elements – the sparkle of recycled glass tile material, a wall mounted tub-fill, visually interesting iron oxide tile wall ledge, rich color palette, island-like stone and wood (ceramic look alike) intermixed flooring and lighting control – combine to set a mood of sensual luxury.”

Aplanalp works with the philosophy that good design is func-tional. To that effect, the re-use of pre-existing cabinets means less strain on the environment. Additionally, the low water volume toilet is an energy saver. And the space’s mosaic tile was made from recycled glass.

Making the most of their built-in cabinetry, the pre-existing cabinets were faux finished to resemble rugged, reclaimed wood, and a gently contoured shower bench was added. Among the most intriguing ele-ments are the “free hanging mirrors” that are mounted from the ceiling by leather straps fashioned by a saddle maker. Both the fireplace and mirrors are back-dropped by recycled glass tile material. Because sinks like the ones in the client’s vacation photos were nowhere to be found, handcrafted sinks were custom designed and created.

A Ranch with All the ConveniencesDesign HouseDesigner: Connie LeFevre, ASID, RID Photographer: Don Hoffman

This bathroom at a ranch outside of Weimar was originally referred to Design House by the client’s architect.

“Even though it looks like a building in an old western town, inside there are a lot of modern conveniences and the house is very com-fortable and functional,” says designer Connie LeFevre. “This is the bathroom off of their master. They wanted this bathroom off their master bedroom to be rustic but with every convenience.”

Connie saw that the art the customer wanted to use had a lot of turquoise and red, so she based her color scheme around those colors. The chandelier is accented with turquoise stones, and the vanity stool picks up the color but with the addition of brown fringe to “give it a little

attitude,” in LeFevre’s words.“The wall behind the tub and niche are rustic split-faced stone,” Con-

nie describes. “The texture of this stone complements the honed travertine stone floor, and the window allows a view of the property and woods.

The clients also wanted furniture in the bath to store linens, but when one was found in the right size it was not the appropriate finish. Con-nie and her design team applied a custom finish with the inside back painted turquoise to house the white towels. Also, not pictured in this photo is a custom iron door for the shower and a mirrored vanity with dark wood trim that reflects the rustic/elegance juxtaposition of the house.

“This is a larger bath so there’s more involved,” LeFevre says. “This place is the clients’ getaway from the city where they enjoy time with their grown children and grandchildren,” she continues. “The plastered walls, cut and honed stone, turquoise, rusted iron and use of many natural elements combine to bring in the outside in a luxurious and relaxing way.”

Combining Chic and Elegant with RusticDesign HouseDesigner: Connie LeFevre, ASID, RIDPhotographer: Janet Lenzen

This bathroom space from Design House is a powder room in the Houston suburb of Rich-mond. The sprawling house sits on three acres with forestry, wetlands and roaming deer. The family that will use this room is described by designer Connie LeFevre as being an active family with lots of personality and two teenage daughters who enjoy hunting, fishing, sports and traveling.

LeFevre spells the design process out.“This project was new construction and

we worked with this family from the concep-tion. This room, being a powder room, was not very large but it had a lot of height, a 10-foot ceiling. We emphasized the height with a tall custom-made mirror, which enlarges the space and reflects the chandelier and art collection. The use of hand-painted paper with metallic accents on the walls adds a lot of sparkle along with the rustic iron chande-lier with crystal beads outlining each rusted leaf. The stone countertop has an onyx ves-sel for the sink with a pin light up above to emphasize the translucency of the onyx.”

“The mother likes warm colors, the dad likes blue, so we had a compromise,” Lefevre continues. “The warmth of the family and bathroom come through in the metallic painted paper that complements the onyx sink and stone floor. We were following through with their idea for the house to be chic and elegant. The exterior is ranch style, however, so the house is a combo of chic/elegant and rustic.

Design House doesn’t design to one partic-ular look; they design to help the clients create their unique style, function and environment.


Luxury in Your HandsJane-Page Design GroupDesigners: Jane-Page Crump, ASID and Laura Litton, ASIDPhotographer: Miro Dvorscak

The idea for this wonderful bath was given to Houston-based Jane-Page Design Group as a place to “provide the unique and custom design details that make a bathroom functional yet unique and dramatic.”

Jane-Page Crump approached this project looking for classic ele-gance, a luxurious feel and, perhaps most importantly, a dramatic effect.

”[The design process] began with the selection of a truly unique stone, Onice Travertine, that became a focal point as it was used on the countertops and shower walls,” Crump says. “We decided to use the beautiful slab on the shower walls. The curve of the shower walls made the alignment of the stone slab critical.”

“The client wanted a linen cabinet to the left of the shower entry,”

Crump continues. “There is no shower door, so we had the cabinet faux painted to look like the slab.”

Another special aspect of this build was the clients’ request that the bath be equipped for future handicap accessibility. Toward that goal, the open floor plan, wide entrances and blocked walls will allow for future grab bar installation and wheelchair access.

Crump’s favorite details about the bath are the custom water jet floor detail, which complements the Onice Travertine colors and is dupli-cated in the leaded glass windows, etched mirrors and custom painted ceiling. She says “these details make the entire space one of a kind. Creating the arched spaces with wood trim took a lot of time because the space was not equal in width, but the design was important to tying together the sink and the tub walls.”

It’s a dream come true for the house owners. Says designer Laura Litton, “The clients feel as though they have entered a high-end spa with every amenity and luxury at their hands every day.”


Modern and Luxurious, but Not Over-the-TopLaura Britt DesignsDesigner: Robin ColtonPhotographer: Casey Dunn

Robin Colton was brought in as lead designer on this bath project because of her skills in remodeling and construction detailing, as well as her background with fabrics and holistic design. Her work turned what was once an Italian Renaissance-inspired master bath with arches and a sunken tub into a sensual retreat.

“The bathroom is rich and warm, featuring travertine flooring, taupe accented with hot red, an unexpected twist of weathered ‘steel’ and secret surprises around each corner,” says Colton in her concept statement. She continues, “Straight ahead is the organically formed freestanding tub framed by a beautiful view and a high gloss red wall. Custom, locally fab-ricated cabinetry answers the need for storage and beauty. Each sink area features full height doors and slide out storage as well as an open divid-ing space for storage and display. Unique rectilinear sinks featuring a flat surface and surrounding channel allow the water to gently cascade over the surface as it flows from low flow nickel wall mount faucets. Each sink area is defined by a vertical application of corten steel-finished porcelain tile and a circular framed mirror that hangs from a leather strap. Flattering side lighting provides lighting for make up application or shaving, and can be dimmed for ambient lighting for a soak in the tub.”

Robin is quick to credit the construction team led by Rob Reed of Griffin Custom Homes for making the construction process run smoothly. Some challenges the team had to overcome involved the bathroom’s flooring and bathtub.

“In order to save on cost, we saved the client’s original travertine flooring,” Colton explains. “With the age of the travertine, it was difficult to match the more recently quarried stone available for a seamless look running under the tub – the original tub was a soaker with two steps up into it and we totally opened up the space for the freestanding tub. Our final solution was a ‘steel’ porcelain tile threshold laid in the floor between the cabinetry and the tub and then we set off the tub area with a travertine mosaic. Our other challenge came when the first bathtub came in cracked. With a long lead time for a replacement we ended up reselecting and therefore moving plumbing and drain locations. Sometimes you have to be thankful for these mishaps though – the client absolutely loves the tub that was installed!”

The designer’s favorite part about the bathroom is that “it exhibits that modern doesn’t have to mean stark, white and cold” by including a strong red in the room in easy ways that aren’t overpowering.

“The comments usually come from the overall sensuality of the room (bedroom included) and the steel tile,” Colton says. “Their bathroom before was just a bathroom. This newly designed space feels luxurious and decadent – but not over the top – and really allows them to go to bed at night and wake up feeling pampered.”

Transformation a Suburban BathroomLive BeautifullyDesigner: Mary Lindsey Wilson, ASIDPhotographer: Michael Hart

This guest bathroom is a remodel from a house in Katy, Texas, that was built in the 1970s. The original design was very boxy and angular, with two sinks in cultured marble and a separate door that led to the toilet and bathtub. What Mary Lindsey Wilson of Live Beautifully had to do was keep the room’s footprint the same and work within the given space while totally re-designing the bath for a dramatically different effect.

“It was pretty chopped-up before, because you had to open all these doors,” says Wilson. “It was dated and not functional. We took out all the walls and opted for just an oval open shower instead of tub-shower combo. We used a spectacular glass tile, a combination of ‘bubble tile,’ 2x2’s and ‘broken glass’ in a monochromatic spa color for a very modern feel.”

Wanting the bath to be as sustainable and economic as possible, Wilson kept the water faucet on a motion sensor, while the existing toilet and windows remained. The new “floating cabinets” create an illusion of more space.

Wilson continues, “We also used a wonderful stone on top of the counter that has a knife-edge. The one large sink that multiple people can use, edged in stone-edge. It is equipped with a motion-sensor faucet, because the client has a lot of nieces and nephews who spend a lot of time at the house. He didn’t want to worry about faucets being left on. The faucet is now more economical and green and more than one person can use it at once.”

A few more details include the changed lighting and the newly-created pocket door that maximizes space. “You’d have to see it before

to appreciate the change,” insists Wilson. “The bathroom is sleek and sexy and could be in New York high-rise, while earlier it was tradition-ally suburban and not innovative at all. It’s totally cool now.”

One final detail: Because of Wilson and Live Beautifully’s work, the house won a national award – the National Dream Home contest for best bathroom remodel.
