HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why he loves it This poolside sanctuary in the California home of interior designer Steve Toedebusch is his pride

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

relaxingrdquo says Steve Rich unique details including custom-made light fixtures and crosscuttravertine marble flooring give the space show-stopping edge His outdoor retreat is a soothing

spot to read and admire the view during the day and transitions into a cool cozy space to dine in

the evening ldquoWith the doors open to the living room and candlelight it can be a magical placerdquo

says Steve

Why the judges love it This warm coastal-inspired outdoor living space is a flawless example of high design and deacutecor

The whitewashed ceiling and beams add a Cape Cod feel to the sophisticated seating area and

are complemented by the cream-colored curtains that add a beach cabana feel The minimal

sleek design and simple furnishings make it a welcoming oasis

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves itldquoPalm Beach meets bohemianrdquo is how interior designer Amie Corley

describes her cheerful sunroom ldquoIrsquove tried to establish a balance between

wild artwork and fun colorful upholsteryrdquo says Amie ldquoI believe that spaces

should look curated mdash styled and assembled over a period of time rather

than all at oncerdquo Amie mixed vintage finds such as the chartreuse Knoll

chairs with new pieces including the urbane white coffee table Creating

a kid-friendly space that the whole family could enjoy was Amiersquosmission as her sunroom triples as a family room and TV room ldquoThe bright

colors keep us happy and the mismatched style is a perfect blend of

comfortable and chicrdquo says Amie

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

HELLO

Welcome to SLHLrsquos second annual Favorite Spaces issue We are extremely excited

to give you another sneak peek into some of St Louisrsquo best design professionalsrsquo

favorite spaces in their own homes So get comfortable grab a cup of tea or a glass

of wine and savor each and every beautifully designed space

Amie Corley interior designer and young mom enjoys spending time with her

family in her cheerful sunroom (page 44) that is at once comfortable and chic

Bright colors fanciful artwork vintage finds and mix-and-matched furnishingscome together masterfully to create a kicked-back family-friendly hangout that is

still big on style

Interior designer Ellen Kurtz has done a fabulous job transforming her unfinished

lower level into a rustic and rugged entertainment space reminiscent of the ldquoOld

Westrdquo (page 46) Her expert use of textiles fabrics and finishes as well as unique

furnishings and accessories gives this ldquofun for all agesrdquo room durability and

panache

With the mountains rising regally in the background interior designer Steve

Toedebuschrsquos loggia (page 48) at his California home is magical in every way Rich

in detail and custom touches this refined poolside oasis is Steversquos favorite place to

ldquoget away from it allrdquo

Happy happy happy Thatrsquos how I would describe interior designer Joni Spearrsquos

marvelous family room (page 52) Who wouldnrsquot want to spend time in this colorful

eclectic space Joni has created a delightful gathering area chic and sophisticated

yet relaxed and friendly to share with family and friends

Interior designer Heidi Hartwigrsquos living room (page 54) is a study in the elegance

of traditional deacutecor Its deep chocolate walls serve as a rich backdrop for luscious greens reds and golds and classic

furnishings that are as timeless as they are beautiful

Bold bright and fresh Interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos revamped dining room (page 56) is all of these things

With a brand new look this welcoming and spirited space is one you would never want to leave

Kitchen designer Julie Cullman has fashioned a kitchen (page 60) that uniquely blends contemporary and

traditional style With its clean lines and soft hues this cookrsquos kitchen is one that Julie will enjoy for a long time

Tranquil and serene the spa-like master bathroom (page 62) in interior designer Jane Ganzrsquos home is the

epitome of elegance A true retreat this is the ideal spot to relax at the end of a busy day The finest finishes blend

beautifully with the latest technology to make Janes master bath the ultimate luxury

A quietly masculine guest room (page 64) is one of interior designer Diane Breckenridge-Barrettrsquos favorite rooms

in her home Lovingly designed with her grandsons in mind this softly hued room with its classic details and atouch of whimsy would make any guest feel special

And last but certainly not least is SLHLrsquos favorite home with a view (page 30) Situated on a stunning bluff

overlooking the Missouri River this St Albanrsquos beauty is truly spectacular in every way with stunning views from

every room that capture naturersquos splendor

This special issue of the magazine is one of my favorites too I hope it will become one of yours

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Suzie Osterloh

PublisherOwner

Ben Gibbard an American musician born

in the 1970s wrote ldquo I wish we could open

our eyes to see in all directions at the sametime Oh what a beautiful viewrdquo Thatrsquos how I

felt when I read this issue of SLHL that every

single page was a new view a glimpse into

the lives and spaces of some of the best

design professionals in St Louis

Winners of our second annual Favorite

Spaces contest these talented individuals

each offer unique perspectives on what makes

them happiest at home each has a different

point of view mdash and theyrsquore all beautiful

In this autumn issue we also share with you SLHLrsquos favorite ldquohome with a viewrdquo a stunning jewel that rises

majestically over the Missouri River at St Albans Again itrsquos all about the views Designed and built to take full

advantage of the natural beauty surrounding it this home took our breath away

For my birthday this year my wonderful husband Barney surprised me with something Irsquove been secretly

coveting for years mdash a hot pink scooter Isnrsquot that funny I have always loved watching people zoom around on

these ldquomini motorcyclesrdquo and thought how fun it would be to have one of my own So now I do

And as I was ldquozoomingrdquo into work the other day it struck me that one of the things I love most about my

scooter is the opportunity it gives me to enjoy the views Therersquos something kind of optimistic and uplifting

about the time I spend on my scooter With the wind rushing through my hair and the cool breeze on my face

I just feel happy especially knowing that the view ahead mdash on the road and just in lifemdash is rosy and bright

So as we make our way into another fabulous fall we at SLHL hope you are inspired by the views not only on

our pages but in your own lives as well

All the bedegt

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

Desi g ner Carol yn Grove

C V Gro ve In teriors 31 4-

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why the judges love it This warm coastal-inspired outdoor living space is a flawless example of high design and deacutecor

The whitewashed ceiling and beams add a Cape Cod feel to the sophisticated seating area and

are complemented by the cream-colored curtains that add a beach cabana feel The minimal

sleek design and simple furnishings make it a welcoming oasis

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

relaxingrdquo says Steve Rich unique details including custom-made light fixtures and crosscuttravertine marble flooring give the space show-stopping edge His outdoor retreat is a soothing

spot to read and admire the view during the day and transitions into a cool cozy space to dine in

the evening ldquoWith the doors open to the living room and candlelight it can be a magical placerdquo

says Steve

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

ldquoThis color has a little more yellow in it than other chartreuse

greens which I think gives it a little more pop It goes beautifully

with browns charcoals and even whites adding a vibrant color Italso goes really well with coral which is my all time favorite color In

fact I have those colors [chartreuse and coral] in my living roomrdquo

ldquoTeal for a long time has received a bad rap This year it has

come back with a vengeance and is popping up everywhere

This bold hue looks great as a accent wall It can also make a

statement as a throw pillow a fun accessory an area rug or

picture frame However this color should never be used as a

bridesmaid dressrdquo

ldquoWe are drawn to this color because it is a

color of nature It is a striking pop of color

against a dark gray-glazed wall and it

complements darker and lighter hues of lavender

(such as hydrangea blue) It could be used as a focal color against stark white

cream or other neutral settings The freshness of this color also works so well withmetallics mdash gold silver chrome etc We have used this perky happy color as an

accent in pillows throws custom rugs ceramic accessories floral arrangements

art and chair coversrdquo

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

ldquoThis is a transformative color Itrsquos not your typical chocolate brown it

has subtle undertones of purple that adds interest and drama Purpleis hot right now and this color is more complex than a deep purplerdquo

ldquoThe new hue I am excited about is a

deep blue almost navy with a touch

of green I especially like it paired with

deep chocolate brown I have recently

incorporated it into my own home with some new toss pillows in a wonderful

graphic suzani patternrdquo

ldquoI LIKE THIS YELLOW BECAUSE IT HAS A LOT OF

GOLD IN IT AND IT rsquoS WARM RICH AND SUNNY IT

JUST HAS AN UPLIFTING HAPPY FEEL THIS COLOR

WOULD LOOK GREAT IN A ROOM WITH HIGH

CEILINGS AND IN A ROOM WITH A LOT OF LIGHTrdquo

ldquoIt has been said that red stimulates

conversation it is inviting warm and always

flattering Use it on walls with a glaze for

drama paint a foyer ceiling for an unexpected

dimension or use it as an accent color in fabrics or on pillows to add

depth and interestrdquo

ldquoI love blue not quite navy but deeper than royal I like to incorporate

transferware pieces like the traditional lsquoblue willowrsquo pattern I just used a

linen fabric with a blue and white chinoiserie pattern from Lee Jofa in a

master bedroomrdquo

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

Below The master bedroom features asoaring ceiling and a romantic wrought-ironfour-poster bed dressed in luxurious linens APalladian-style window with gracefully archedFrench doors welcomes the sunlight Right In the glorious master bath a sunken tubbacked by a spacious walk-through showeris the ideal spot to relax while enjoying the

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

Below The master bedroom features asoaring ceiling and a romantic wrought-ironfour-poster bed dressed in luxurious linens APalladian-style window with gracefully archedFrench doors welcomes the sunlight Right In the glorious master bath a sunken tubbacked by a spacious walk-through showeris the ideal spot to relax while enjoying the

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Juicy steaks rosemary-scented legs of lamb thick-cut pork chops mdash ahhh music to my earsOkay you guessed it Irsquom an admitted meat lover and when autumnrsquos chill nips the air I feel allthe more justified when my eyes make a mad dash for the delicious meat entreacutees on the menuSo itrsquos understandable then that I also enjoy the ripe red wines that go best with them

There are probably thousands of Cabernet Sauvignons on the market from nearly everygrape-growing country in the world But there arenrsquot very many winemakers who can boastof producing top-quality Cabs from two hemispheres

California native Robert L Pepi is a winemaking consultant for one of Argentinarsquos oldestwineries Valentin Bianchi while also producing his own single-vineyard Napa Valley CabernetSauvignon mdash Eponymous as well as wines for other California producers

Itrsquos a fascinating exercise to try Bobrsquos 2008 Eponymous Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon(grown on a small mountain vineyard right below Bobrsquos house) then the 2008 Two AngelsMayacamus Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon (with grapes from a vineyard Bob owns near thetop of the Mayacamus Mountains on the Sonoma side) and finally Valentin Bianchirsquos 2008Famiglia Bianchi Cabernet Sauvignon from the Bianchirsquos high desert vineyards in the foothillsof the Andes Mountains

At three different price points (Eponymous retails for around $45 Two Angels atapproximately $27 and Famiglia for about $18) each is a great bargain given the pureexpressions of the Cabernet grape in every bottle

Other more hearty ldquobig redrdquo wines fit the bill when enjoying substantial fall fare includingSpainrsquos signature grape Tempranillo Very little blending is done in Spain so many of its winesare 100 percent Tempranillo The differences stem from the terroir (a combination of soilaltitude and climate) in which the grapes are grown the type of oak used (primarily comingfrom France the United States or Eastern European countries) to age the wines and the periodof time the wine resides in the oak

In Spain certain designations on the label indicate how long the wine has aged If a wineis labeled Crianza it must age in oak a minimum of one year with an additional one yearof aging in the bottle before it is released for sale Bodegas Muriel Crianza from Rioja Altaand Tinto Figuero 10 Months from the Garcia Figuero family in the Ribera del Duero are twowell-priced beautifully executed Crianzas that are shining examples of the high-quality winescoming from their regions

If you follow the Duero River from Spain into neighboring Portugal yoursquoll end up in thatcountryrsquos renowned Douro Valley Though the river has subtly changed names this areagrows comparable ldquobig redsrdquo that have become highly prized for their sophistication and fruit-forward style Unlike Spain almost all of Portugalrsquos top red wines are blends of three to morethan 20 grape varieties Quinta do Vallado where the family descended from the Ferreira porthouse founded in the 1700s by Portugese legend Dona Adelaide Ferreira produces many ofthe highest-rated Douro Valley red wines The wineryrsquos Douro Red 2008 is a relative bargain fora five-grape wine of this depth and dark fruit flavors

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy the richness of the ldquobig redsrdquo And you can be sure Irsquoll be

savoring them all winter long See wwwstlouishomesmagcom for resources

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

THORN utumn is a special season for a native St Louiscouple who recall falling in love with a potentialhomesite during Oktoberfest a few years back ldquoWe were viewing the property from a helicopter and the

leaves were just spectacularrdquo the wife remembers Situated

on the soaring bluffs of St Albans the 8-acre site offered

majestic views and an opportunity to build a secluded luxury

estate that took full advantage of the sweeping vistas Today

their European-influenced home is romantic and welcoming

nestled among towering trees and directly overlooking the

Missouri River and surrounding countryside

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Situated adjacent to the Country Club of St Albans SLHLs favorite

home with a view is part of a community comprised of more than

300 homes in 13 unique neighborhoods each just minutes from the

manicured grounds of the golf course The road leading to the hilltop

home mimics a switchback zigzagging through a series of near-hairpin

turns climbing all the while Designed by architect Dick Busch the

house is impressive without being ostentacious The beautiful stone

facade echoes the color of the nearby bluffs and softly changes from

chalk to pewter as the sunlight fades from day into evening Designed

to maximize the views nearly every room of the spacious home has

westward-facing windows that frame the river valley beyond The

owners had considerable input into the architectural design and admit

that getting it right was an evolving process ldquoMy husband must have

redrawn the plans a hundred timesrdquo laughs the wife and the husband

spectacular river views

sheepishly agrees ldquoItrsquos sort of a hobby of minerdquo But both are quick to

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

to the stonemason to the framing carpenterrdquo the husband notes ldquoWe

were fortunate to work with so many highly skilled peoplerdquo

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

scaled-for-comfort furnishings Another key reason the house feels so

enveloping is that the ceiling height varies from room to room and

sometimes even within a room boosting the intimacy factor of certain

spaces and helping to define specific living areas with few interior

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

pay tribute to the primary architect and many artisans who turned

their dream into a reality ldquoThe design process was so collaborative and

positive mdash everyone made valuable contributions from the architect

The result is a home that not only perfectly suits the site but also

beautifully reflects the ownersrsquo attention to detail The interior feels

exceedingly cozy in spite of the expansive windows and generously

sized rooms thanks in part to the soft palette warm lighting and

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves itldquoPalm Beach meets bohemianrdquo is how interior designer Amie Corley

describes her cheerful sunroom ldquoIrsquove tried to establish a balance between

wild artwork and fun colorful upholsteryrdquo says Amie ldquoI believe that spaces

should look curated mdash styled and assembled over a period of time rather

than all at oncerdquo Amie mixed vintage finds such as the chartreuse Knoll

chairs with new pieces including the urbane white coffee table Creating

a kid-friendly space that the whole family could enjoy was Amiersquosmission as her sunroom triples as a family room and TV room ldquoThe bright

colors keep us happy and the mismatched style is a perfect blend of

comfortable and chicrdquo says Amie

Why the judges love it This room is all about the successful blending of opposites mdash vintage

and modern eclectic and traditional and bright colors contrasted with

neutrals It stylishly marries a personal and cozy feel with an alive and

upbeat ambience This is an engaging fun space for todayrsquos modern

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why he loves it This poolside sanctuary in the California home of interior designer Steve Toedebusch is his pride

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

comfortable and chicrdquo says Amie

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

colors keep us happy and the mismatched style is a perfect blend of

comfortable and chicrdquo says Amie

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The inspiration for interior designer Ellen Kurtzrsquos

rustic lower level was her western movie buff

husband Ty The space was unfinished when Ellen

began planning the remodel and she made sure

it was as k id-friendly as it was Old West-rugged

every step of the way to accommodate the couplersquos

children and grandchildren ldquoThe space needed a T V

area a pool table area and a barrdquo says Ellen ldquoUsing

concrete countertops and stained concrete floors

made it easy for cleanup and Little Tikes carsrdquo Barn

wood for wainscoting slate for the fireplace and tall

fabric-covered booth seating tie the roomrsquos theme

together fashionably and flawlessly

Why the judges love it This lower level is a gorgeous example of how to

do a themed room correctly The authentic rustic

details work together to create a warm entertaining

area The textile and fabric choices such as the

leather and nailhead trim adorning the front of the

bar are not only on theme but work together to

create a stylish fantastical retreat

Why he loves it This poolside sanctuary in the California home of interior designer Steve Toedebusch is his pride

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

relaxingrdquo says Steve Rich unique details including custom-made light fixtures and crosscuttravertine marble flooring give the space show-stopping edge His outdoor retreat is a soothing

spot to read and admire the view during the day and transitions into a cool cozy space to dine in

the evening ldquoWith the doors open to the living room and candlelight it can be a magical placerdquo

says Steve

Why the judges love it This warm coastal-inspired outdoor living space is a flawless example of high design and deacutecor

The whitewashed ceiling and beams add a Cape Cod feel to the sophisticated seating area and

are complemented by the cream-colored curtains that add a beach cabana feel The minimal

sleek design and simple furnishings make it a welcoming oasis

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why he loves it This poolside sanctuary in the California home of interior designer Steve Toedebusch is his pride

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

relaxingrdquo says Steve Rich unique details including custom-made light fixtures and crosscuttravertine marble flooring give the space show-stopping edge His outdoor retreat is a soothing

spot to read and admire the view during the day and transitions into a cool cozy space to dine in

the evening ldquoWith the doors open to the living room and candlelight it can be a magical placerdquo

says Steve

Why the judges love it This warm coastal-inspired outdoor living space is a flawless example of high design and deacutecor

The whitewashed ceiling and beams add a Cape Cod feel to the sophisticated seating area and

are complemented by the cream-colored curtains that add a beach cabana feel The minimal

sleek design and simple furnishings make it a welcoming oasis

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Steve ToedebuschFrank Patton Interiors13133 Manchester Road314-965-4240frankpattoninteriorscom

Why he loves it This poolside sanctuary in the California home of interior designer Steve Toedebusch is his pride

and joy ldquoIt is a loggia off the living room and is used most of the time for entertaining and just

relaxingrdquo says Steve Rich unique details including custom-made light fixtures and crosscuttravertine marble flooring give the space show-stopping edge His outdoor retreat is a soothing

spot to read and admire the view during the day and transitions into a cool cozy space to dine in

the evening ldquoWith the doors open to the living room and candlelight it can be a magical placerdquo

says Steve

Why the judges love it This warm coastal-inspired outdoor living space is a flawless example of high design and deacutecor

The whitewashed ceiling and beams add a Cape Cod feel to the sophisticated seating area and

are complemented by the cream-colored curtains that add a beach cabana feel The minimal

sleek design and simple furnishings make it a welcoming oasis

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves itFilled with traditional romantic charm

and sophistication interior designer Heidi

Hartwigrsquos living room combines classicfurnishings with warm color ldquoThe luscious

window treatments pop off the chocolate

mink walls which were painted by a local

artistrdquo says Heidi Much of the furniture

was handpicked and purchased in Florida

and shipped to St Louis ldquoI love the

Century Furniture sofa in the buttery gold

fabric with beautiful bullion trimrdquo says

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves itFilled with traditional romantic charm

and sophistication interior designer Heidi

Hartwigrsquos living room combines classicfurnishings with warm color ldquoThe luscious

window treatments pop off the chocolate

mink walls which were painted by a local

artistrdquo says Heidi Much of the furniture

was handpicked and purchased in Florida

and shipped to St Louis ldquoI love the

Century Furniture sofa in the buttery gold

fabric with beautiful bullion trimrdquo says

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

should be breathtaking and inviting

while retaining a strong feeling of

personality and comfort

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itldquoAs a full-time designer with three children family

time is cherishedrdquo says interior designer Joni Spear

ldquoThe family room is designed to be a vibrant space

that naturally draws us togetherrdquo The bright fuchsia

walls are happy and hospitable and pop against

the white leather sectional sofa and molding ldquoBold

colors were inspired by the rug which grounds the

space and plays nicely off of the wall paletterdquo says

Joni The flat-screen TV and family computer make

this room a popular hangout for the whole family

mdash and as Joni describes it ldquoa wonderfully endless

stream of friendsrdquo

Why the judges love it The white molding against the bold walls in this

bright space add chic sophistication and formality

to a relaxed inviting family room With an eye-

pleasing layout and welcoming furnishings the

designer has blended elements of refined style

with a joyful family-friendly color palette

Why she loves itFilled with traditional romantic charm

and sophistication interior designer Heidi

Hartwigrsquos living room combines classicfurnishings with warm color ldquoThe luscious

window treatments pop off the chocolate

mink walls which were painted by a local

artistrdquo says Heidi Much of the furniture

was handpicked and purchased in Florida

and shipped to St Louis ldquoI love the

Century Furniture sofa in the buttery gold

fabric with beautiful bullion trimrdquo says

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

should be breathtaking and inviting

while retaining a strong feeling of

personality and comfort

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Heidi Hartwig Fabulous Finds314-852-0876

Why she loves itFilled with traditional romantic charm

and sophistication interior designer Heidi

Hartwigrsquos living room combines classicfurnishings with warm color ldquoThe luscious

window treatments pop off the chocolate

mink walls which were painted by a local

artistrdquo says Heidi Much of the furniture

was handpicked and purchased in Florida

and shipped to St Louis ldquoI love the

Century Furniture sofa in the buttery gold

fabric with beautiful bullion trimrdquo says

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

should be breathtaking and inviting

while retaining a strong feeling of

personality and comfort

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

INTERIOR DESIGNER

Heidi Hartwig Fabulous Finds314-852-0876

Why she loves itFilled with traditional romantic charm

and sophistication interior designer Heidi

Hartwigrsquos living room combines classicfurnishings with warm color ldquoThe luscious

window treatments pop off the chocolate

mink walls which were painted by a local

artistrdquo says Heidi Much of the furniture

was handpicked and purchased in Florida

and shipped to St Louis ldquoI love the

Century Furniture sofa in the buttery gold

fabric with beautiful bullion trimrdquo says

Heidi Other favorites in the room include

the Henredon chair in green velvet

damask the wooden secretary filled with

small antiques and the refined stately

lamps and light fixtures

Why the judges love it The dark brown walls are a good choice

mdash they work with both the wood tones

of the furniture and the rose and green

fabrics and accent colors This room

is everything a successful living room

should be breathtaking and inviting

while retaining a strong feeling of

personality and comfort

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The dining room is a very important space

in interior designer Denise Fogartyrsquos home It

acts as a study for her son a conference room

for her meetings with sales representatives

and an entertaining space for parties andget-togethers So when Denise decided to

redo the roomrsquos deacutecor she chose a bright

and welcoming color palette Bold green

paint and vibrant reupholstered chairs add

personality and crisp white chandelier

shades balance the room with sophisticated

style After months of eyeing artwork that

didnrsquot quite fit with the deacutecor of her house

Denise found a home for the pieces in her

cheery new dining room ldquoThe artwork was

one of the final touches It made the whole

room feel more like the rest of my home mdash

beachyrdquo says Denise

Why the judges love it This room has a fresh look thatrsquos interesting

without feeling too contrived The contrast

between the dark wood and crisp bright

upholstery fabric and paint is pleasing and

the striking green walls really make the art

pop Using the strongest color on the walls

was a bold choice that paid off

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it

ldquoItrsquos [helped] transition me from being a single person toa married personrdquo says kitchen designer Julie Cullman of

her kitchen ldquoI started the design process when I was single

and by the time it was finished we were getting marriedrdquo

Julie shares that she and her new husband chose to host

their wedding reception at their home and that the kitchen

provided a happy place to celebrate with friends and

family When asked what she loves most about the space

she doesnrsquot hesitate to say itrsquos the glossy countertops ldquoThe

green countertop on the island and around the sink [are

my favorite parts]rdquo says Julie ldquoItrsquos an unusual material and

I love the greens grays and cream colorsrdquo Other favorite

items include the professional-style appliances (Julie loves

to cook) the restored vintage dining table purchased at a

flea market and the mid-century chairs she inherited fromher grandmother

Why the judges love itClean lines and quiet deacutecor make this uncluttered kitchen

restful The green and gold palette and lovely natural light

is complemented with a skillful use of subtle color mdash the

pear hue warms up the stainless steel and balances the

strong black accents This kitchen is a very adept mix of

styles mdash it is contemporary with nods to the mid-century

design of the home

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves it The elegant master bathroom in interior designer Jane

Ganzrsquos home captures the feeling of a tranquil spa

retreat Complete with a fireplace and television within

sight of the enormous in-ground bathtub the upperlevel includes hand-blown glass sinks glazed antique

cream furniture and silver patina and crystal wall

sconces From polished porcelain tile with iridescent

mosaic squares to a coffered ceiling with intricate

molding a crushed glass chandelier and a skylight

this bathroom is truly a therapeutic retreat from head

to toe ldquoItrsquos a perfect place for a glass of wine and

meditation as I watch the glow of the fireplace made

of aqua burning glassrdquo says Jane

Why the judges love itElegant restraint makes the fine materials used to

create this spa-like master bath serene and chic

Technology for ultimate comfort is seamlessly

incorporated with a fireplace and television and

the marble gives the room its twist moving it away

from the expected The echo of the cool color of the

marble in the upholstery choice for the two chairs is

also a lovely unexpected touch

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating

Why she loves itCreating a subdued yet lively guest bedroom that will charm guests

of all ages is challenging mdash unless yoursquore interior designer Diane

Breckenridge-Barrett Diane describes this space as ldquoperfect for all

my grandsonsrdquo and says that the design is in the details ldquoWhen I saw

the chest with its maritime motif I knew I had found the perfect

inspiration for the roomrdquo says Diane ldquoEvery time I walk by this room

I cannot help but appreciate the details that pull [it] togetherrdquo The

custom-made caramel duvet covers with aqua accents are playfully

complemented by the aqua walls knitted pillow shams and plaid

fabrics that pepper the roomrsquos deacutecor

Why the judges love itExuding quiet masculinity with its subdued but warm color scheme

this room shows careful attention to detail The welting on the

bed covering draws in the blue of the ship on the antique dresser

without seeming overly coordinated Itrsquos a versatile space where

a guest of any age could rest comfortably The headboards made

with nailhead trim and plaid upholstery are a good ldquoeverything old

is new againrdquo nod to classic decorating
