Seven or eight years ago, I remember

feeling overtaken by too many shades of

brown.

My husband and I had recently

purchased our irst home together. Our

walls were tan, our couch was chocolate

brown, our rug over our wood loors

was beige, and our kitchen cabinets

were maple. he only pops of color came

from a couple of throw pillows. And

along with what seemed like two-thirds

of the rest of the world, we also had a

red focal wall. I’ve always loved design,

color and decorating, but there was

nothing creative about our new space.

I immediately regretted the paint color.

I couldn’t help but think it looked like a

bad makeup foundation.

We didn’t end up staying in the house

long. Our quickly growing family and a

job change led us to rent out our home

for a couple of years. We moved back

Have Your Way With Gray

in temporarily in 2014 to make some

improvements and prepare the house for

sale. When I walked in, the house I had

“updated” just ive years before already

looked very dated.

Isn’t it crazy how quickly trends change

and our styles evolve?

Today, with all things seemingly rustic,

industrial, coastal or farmhouse style,

gray and coastal blues are hot precisely

because they’re cool. hey lend a soothing

palette to a room that in turn serves to

warm and relax the space. And natural

sunlight seems to be their best friend.

his trend is fascinating to me. I’m

curious to know if the overstimulation

from our devices, constant media babble

and the pace of everyday life has led us to

a much more neutral palette. It may not

be true for everybody, but as a mother of

three children under the age of 5 living in

an age of graphic overload, I admit that I

need soothing grays and calming blues in

my life!

So when my husband and I rolled up

our sleeves to prepare to paint, we settled

on Benjamin Moore’s Northern Clifs. It

is a warmer gray with a dark, olive green

root color, but with cathedral ceilings

and an abundance of large windows, the

natural light combined with the color to

create the perfect neutral for the space.

In these photos, the staging is deinitely

not perfect, but we worked with what

we had. Northern Clifs balanced well

with the homemade white linen window

panels and the white board-and-batten

wall feature. he room became warm and

welcoming but also bright and airy. he

house sold in just two days, so I guess the

updates and staging worked well!

When choosing any color, be sure to

look at the entire color progression swatch

to see the root color. If the darkest color on

DESIGN

BY TRACEY FISH


the swatch is green, your color will have a

green undertone; if it is blue, it will have a

blue undertone. My current favorite grays

have a beige or brown undertone.

Another note of caution: Be sure to test

your color in the space.

his is especially advised for grays

because gray is hugely afected by lighting,

and it relects the colors around it.

he great thing about decorating is

that it’s not permanent. Remember: Paint

can be changed, decor is temporary, and

nobody really knows what color trends

will come.

For now, thanks to its welcoming

versatility, I am happy to have hopped on

the gray bandwagon. My husband and

I are building a new house, and we have

already decided that our dominant wall

color will be Useful Gray by Sherwin-

Williams.

Paint color is an inexpensive

proposition. It can make a big impact with

a small price tag. And if you keep the air

ventilated and use precaution, painting

can be a family afair. So get out the old

T-shirts and the blue tape, dust of the

brushes, and hit the paint aisle of your

favorite hardware store.

Keep in mind that grays and cool blues

are trending, but ultimately, no two people

are alike. So choose paint color based on

what makes you feel calm and happy in

your space.

up with Sherwin-Williams to ofer another

innovative way to make your home relect

your style.

Dura Supreme recently rolled out their

Personal Paint Match Program. With this

system, you are able to choose any of

Sherwin-Williams’ 1,500 colors, and they’ll

paint your cabinetry for you, creating the

perfect match. “Painted inishes in general

are very on-trend for home interiors

and kitchens,” said Karen Wistrom, vice

president of marketing for Dura Supreme.

“White paint is the absolute number one

seller. Soft neutrals like French gray or

neutral taupe are very popular as well,

but we are deinitely seeing homeowners

choosing bolder accent colors.”

Paint your main kitchen cabinets in

softer tones and pick a bolder color for

your island or hood, leaving the rest of

the space fairly neutral. his allows you

to have fun with diferent shades while

still maintaining a timeless look. Wistrom

adds that by painting a portion of your

kitchen cabinetry with an accent color,

you are essentially creating what looks like

a freestanding piece of furniture. he sky

is the limit when choosing which pieces

to paint. Wistrom says that mudrooms,

mantles and hoods are all great places to

consider adding a pop of color.

perfect for you could not be easier. Once

you have found a shade that inspires

you, simply provide Dura Supreme

with a Sherwin-Williams paint number.

hey will take that number and create a

will look like up close and in person. You

can decide whether you love it or need to

go back to the drawing board. Once your

color decision is made, Dura Supreme will

build and paint your custom cabinets to

match the color of your choice.

here is a huge beneit to deciding on

the colors and painting them before they

are installed. Wistrom explains, “here is

simply a big diference between industrial

coatings and what is used in a residential

application. In our factory, your cabinetry

is painted in a dust-free environment; no

imperfections will be showing up.” Dura

Supreme also uses an industrial spraying

system and binding coats that ensure a

durable surface that needs no further

maintenance. In fact, once your cabinets

are installed, all they will need is an

occasional wipe-down with a damp cloth

and mild soap, just like any other surface.

With a lifetime guarantee and the

perfect paint selection, your cabinets will

be turning heads for years to come.

Q: Tim: We are preparing

to build a new home, and

we wanted to know what is

meant by “customization” in

new homes today?

A: You may have heard the term

“customization” in your research for

your new home. It typically means the

process of making alterations to the loor

plan or exterior appearance of a home to

relect your particular taste, lifestyle and

location.

But a subtle yet equally important

variation on that term is emerging within

home design and building. Put simply, this

newer usage of “customization” expresses

that new homes today are—by design—

better able to adapt to the changing needs

Build for Today,Customize for the Future

VIEWPOINT

of their owners after they’ve moved in

and for years to come.

his kind of customization has its

roots in architectural features such

as great rooms and so-called “lex”

spaces that some builders now ofer.

But true customization requires a more

thoughtful approach to the loor plan,

material choices and future lifestyle

changes than simply including a room

that allows lexibility in its use.

Obviously rooms such as the kitchen

and bathrooms are spaces dedicated to

a particular use. But there’s no reason

that a dining room can’t eventually

become a home oice and then switch

back or become something else down

the road, depending on what the family

wants and needs.

More dramatically, consider a back

room—properly designed—that could

evolve from a simple bedroom into a den,

home oice or studio apartment and

eventually into a irst-loor master suite as

the owners age and tire of climbing stairs

to their bedroom.

Similarly, a storage area next to a

second-loor master suite could, over

time and if properly designed, become

another bedroom or swap with the

master bedroom, which could turn into

an upstairs family room or oice, private

sitting room or home gym.

hese examples are practical and can

also be cost-efective—if your builder has

the forethought to rough in plumbing

and other mechanical systems. his level

of customization could set the stage for

a future guest apartment with a small

kitchen and a private entry. Another

smart option: Leave suicient room for

a staircase or design the roof frame to

accommodate dormer windows to inish

an upstairs area adjacent to the master

suite.

he possibilities of being able to

customize a home you already live in

are inspiring. As much as we want to

build new homes, we also like the idea

of building long-lasting homes that can

adapt to a family’s future needs.

By providing homes that serve our

clients now and in the future, reducing

ongoing maintenance needs and

extensive remodeling costs, the total cost

of ownership goes down and makes the

homes more enjoyable to live in. he built-

in lexibility also helps make the house

easier to sell when the owners are ready to

move on to another home.

his newer kind of customization

works best in new homes. So when

selecting a homebuilder, seek out a

professional builder in the top 10 percent.

A common misconception is that the

top builders charge more than other

builders, but that’s almost never the case.

A top residential design-build irm such

as Design Builders, which specializes in

working with clients to design the loor

plan and construction process from the

beginning to accommodate families’

changing lifestyle needs, will cost no

more than most value-oriented builders.

With the right builder by your side, your

new home will cost-efectively serve the

changing needs of your family for many

years to come.

There are

unexpected

elements

intertwined with a

more traditional

design. It is both

functional and

completely open to

interpretation.

Bowling Green builder Terry Davis

says he lost count of the truckloads of ill

going to level a pair of adjoining lots in a

wooded neighborhood of Cumberland

Trace, but the inal project is a testament

to perfect math. Cut into the hill, close

enough to Drakes Creek to take advantage

of a natural tree line, it was deliberately

sited for dramatic efect.

Clients Stephanie and Mike Baas wanted

an inviting, livable home with plenty of

room for friends and family. But they also

wanted high-end architectural details

and aesthetic intrigue that would blend

modern with traditional and indoors with

out. Davis, working closely with interior

designer Tara Coomer, certainly delivers

on that request.

“We started in the foyer, sort of walking

visually through the loor plan to igure

out what the space would allow and what

would be interesting,” says the designer.

To start the conversation, Coomer says

she simply asked the question, “Where do

we want light?” hen, working together

with client and builder, they “followed it

in.”

“In the foyer, for example, we wanted a

statement ixture because you can see it

from the road,” says the designer. And, as

she points out, when guests come in, they

see the foyer irst.

From there, they moved toward the

kitchen. Above the large granite island,

they selected a trio of oversized clear-glass

globe pendants, which in turn introduce

a more detailed spherical chandelier

Just off the kitchen, this cozy dining room features bench seating and a blend of wood tones.

By specifying white granite and white cabinets, the overhead pendant lighting becomes more dramatic. Glass subway tiles across the backsplash help illuminate the room.

Interior designer Tara Coomer selected architectural inishes to infuse the home’s muted gray palette with plenty of warmth and intrigue.

new thing.

modern tepee.

serves as a hallway connecting a pair of

was used almost exclusively on interior

walls to create a seamless circulation

from one room to the next. In addition,

the loors are inished throughout with

utility-grade hickory cut in short lengths

and stained with a clear coat that allows

all the natural beauty and character of

this knotty wood to shine.

Coomer says she was trying to use

clean lines but still make a statement. She

helped her clients decide by narrowing

the selections and focusing on the idea

that architectural elements could both

complement and juxtapose one another.

“We wanted a modern feel, but if a

traditional person were to walk in, they

would still feel comfortable,” she explains.

he back deck includes a bump-out

dining area for the perfect open-air cofee

would have been disappointed to use


Downstairs in the walkout basement, the warmth of reclaimed brick walls and custom cabinets contrast with the impact of shop lighting and exposed ductwork.

An interior wall was replaced with wood beams and corrugated metal to add functional detail and create a more open circulation.

On the lower level, a inished basement

areas for the kids and custom closets with

framed in a mudroom, a laundry room and

a pantry complete with a barn-style door

square, but every inch of conditioned space

has been maximized.

Coomer says they still have some inishing

work to do. here are window treatments

and accents still to come, but for the most

part, the home is inished. As a licensed

interior designer, she can move easily from

architectural details to inal touches but

says she prefers those projects where she

is involved from the moment ground is

broken.

Davis says his litmus test involves not

only the form and function of the inished

home but whether or not the friendship

remains intact. He has been building

homes in Bowling Green for more than two

decades, and he and Mike Baas have been

friends since their high school days. Now,

after untold shovelfuls of dirt and a year

of nonstop decision-making, everybody is

happy. he home is lovely, and “we’re all still

friends,” says Davis.

Although summer is fading fast, it's a wonderful time to create an equally fresh and bright living space in your home, and there is no greater inspiration for such a space than Mother Nature herself.

Color can transform a room instantly. Giving your living area a fresh coat of paint is a fast and easy way to revamp your home in a big way. Lake cottages and summer homes are the perfect places to get creative and play with diferent color schemes. I spoke with Andrea Magno, color and design expert for Benjamin Moore. Magno, who is well versed in the hues and shades of the ever-changing paint palette, encourages people to look outside their homes for their inspiration. “At the beach, a handful of shells or beach glass has colors that can form the color palette for an entire home,” she says. “Likewise, in the mountains, the lush foliage may inspire a palette of greens ranging from pale to deep, with room for accents that bring in personality.”

ingredients

By ANDREA BAUMGARDNER

I learned to cook in the midst of the

local and artisanal food movement

in California, very near ground zero—

San Francisco in the 1990s. Since then,

my mantra has been simple, fresh

ingredients, grown as near to the kitchen

as possible.

As of two years ago, I no longer work

in a restaurant. While this has been

odd enough and with many awkward

moments, the transition to shopping in

grocery stores and cooking on an electric

stove—which alerts the smoke detector if

a pan is hot enough to properly sear—has

been another education.

It is ininitely easier to cook in a

restaurant than to come home from work

and get food on the table within an hour.

Having previously underestimated home

cooking—how hard can it be to cook for

three if I am used to cooking for 40?—I

am beginning to recognize a place for

planning, prep lists and bulk food buying.

I also am learning the importance of a

freezer.

One of my freezer cheats is frozen peas.

hey aren’t always a good move, but when

they are, nothing is easier, and they taste

almost like fresh. Also, frozen peas are

available year-round, whereas fresh shell

peas rarely make it to local grocery stores

for more than a few weeks. Garden shell

peas don’t enjoy much longer of a season.

A package of frozen peas defrosts in

less than ive minutes in a colander. If I

am making pasta, risotto or fried rice—a

great option for the last-minute cook,

although my husband routinely advises

me that not every leftover works in a

wok—a handful of peas at the end adds

color and mild lavor.

Peas can be puréed with nuts and basil

and made into a tasty hybrid of hummus

and pesto. I have made pancake batters

out of them; the green can be a little

weird, but they pair wonderfully with

smoked trout or bacon. I also like this

adaptation of my 105-year-old grandma’s

pea salad. She insists on canned peas, for

which I am not yet prepared, and Velveeta.

Mine lacks her verve, but it reminds me of

spring and a garden, even if it comes out

of the freezer section.

Spring Pea SaladServes 4–6 as a side dish

INGREDIENTS: 1 package frozen peas (8–12 ounces)1 bunch asparagus, woody ends broken or cut

off1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt2 tablespoons buttermilk½ lemon, juiced and zested¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream1 tablespoon green onions, thinly slicedSea salt 2 turns freshly ground pepper 2 cups tender salad greens, washed and

gently dried½ cup crumbled goat cheese (feta works, too)

DIRECTIONSTo defrost the peas, pour into a colander and place under running cool water for a few minutes. Drain well and set aside.

Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths on the diagonal.

BlANCH THE ASPARAGuS: Have a bowl of ice water ready.

Bring at least 2 quarts of water to a boil in a 4-quart pot. Add a teaspoon of salt and maintain a rolling boil.

Add the asparagus to the pot and let boil for 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove the asparagus and place in the ice water.

Once the asparagus is as cold as the water, drain in a colander and set aside.

Whisk the buttermilk, lemon zest and juice and yogurt together. Season with salt and pepper.

Before serving, assemble the salad: place the greens on a platter. Top with asparagus, peas and crumbled goat cheese. Drizzle with dressing.

All of the components can be made up to two days in advance and kept in the refrigerator.

Eighty years ago, New York disc jockey

Peter Tripp pulled a publicity stunt and

stayed awake for a marathon 201 hours.

It was the original wacky-morning-show

moment.

Since then, it has become a rite of

passage for DJs to promote—for better

or worse—a cause. hey host marathon

dancing. hey eat a ton of hot dogs. hey

live precariously perched on billboard

scafolding until the home team wins.

But rarely do their stunts lead to

meaningful change. So when local radio

personality Tony Rose proposed raising

donations for local school children by

living on a school bus until listeners illed

it with school supplies, he had no idea

that “Stuf the Bus” would grow to become

a catalyst for all types of volunteerism

and end up beneiting thousands of area

schoolchildren.

Now, 10 years later, on the last weekend

in July as the sun sets behind the stores

along Campbell Lane, Rose holds court in

a state-of-the-art hybrid school bus that

the district donated for the cause.

The Magic Bus Changes Outcomes for Bowling Green Kids

By MARY NESTOR

EVENTS

Tons of Fun: A decade of fundraising has left the crew

of Stuff the Bus volunteers older, wiser and richer in

spirit. This year, with help from individual donors,

corporate sponsors, and local businesses, STB raised enough to supply area school children with everything from crayons to clothes, backpacks, to ear buds. The event takes place

in late July and helps reill the coffers of Family Resource

Centers in and around Bowling Green.


Unlike his maiden voyage, Rose is now

landlocked—surrounded by buses. hat’s

because the irst bus became two buses,

then three, then four.

Every year for a decade over the

course of a four-day weekend, Rose and a

squadron of dedicated volunteers—most

of whom have been helping since day

one—collect and catalog enough school

supplies to make sure every child in

Bowling Green, Warren County, and much

of the outlying districts starts school with

the essentials.

“We didn’t know what we were getting

into,” Rose remembers. When volunteers

inished stuing that irst bus, their initial

reaction was, “Great stunt! People are

talking about it.”

“We started to see, wow, this is making

more of an impact than we thought it

would,” he says.

After stuing the bus, Rose and his team

coordinated and conducted the logistics

to get the donated supplies to the Family

Resource Centers on-site at area schools.

hat’s when Rose realized it was more

than a gimmick.

“here are kids out there who need this

stuf,” he remembers saying.

Very quickly he came to believe that

the world could be changed one box of

crayons at a time.

He says it’s not just the recipients who

beneit from the program. As Rose points

out, schoolteachers and districts have

been known to dig into their own pockets

to inance essential supplies. Now, thanks

to the donations garnered in the Stuf

the Bus fundraiser, that money can be

rerouted to help with capital expenditures,

ield trips and other educational costs

that beneit all the students, regardless of

income.

He also appreciates being able to help

schoolchildren “it in” on the irst day of

school. He calls it the “magic window” of

opportunity. When kids walk in prepared

not ashamed or afraid to sit in the front

row,” he says.

On the other hand, Rose believes that if

a child has to walk in on the irst day with

no backpack, no pencils and no supplies,

his or her self-esteem is crushed. hey’re

and that can cause an escalating sense of

panic and isolation.

Rose is not the only volunteer who

has shepherded Stuf the Bus from its

stuntman inception to its current impact.

He credits friends, family and fellow

DJs with making the campaign such a

success. He appreciates the support of

Warren County businesses that pass the

hat among their employees and have

embraced Stuf the Bus as a worthy cause.

He cannot believe that Bluegrass Cellular

lets him commandeer their parking

lot for the duration. And he deinitely

appreciates the fact that the Kentucky

State Police and Warren County police

oicers keep an eye on their operation as

they sleep in buses full of booty along a

major commercial thoroughfare.

Rose says the campaign reached critical

mass in its fourth year, when a group of

savvy shoppers and coupon clippers—the

Kentucky Savings Group—volunteered

to help negotiate bulk purchases and

strategic buys. He says they can work

magic with those cash donations.

Now a decade older and many times

wiser, perched on the edge of the steps of

the bus and up since before dawn, Rose

seems both energized and humbled by the

impact of what began as a marketing ploy

for the morning guy.

“It’s not about me. It’s not about Tony

Rose,” he says. “It’s way more than a wacky

event. It became a labor of love. It became

like a mission trip. he community owns

Stuf the Bus, and, for lack of a better

term, I’m just babysitting.”
