PRAIRIE STONETHE

MONACOTHE

NANTUCKETTHE

We at KCH&G are no strangers to beautiful residences in the area, but we’ve been

blown away by our 2009 Boulevard of Dreams homes. And we’re pretty sure

you will be, too.

Right after we completed our 2007 Boulevard of Dreams Homes Tour, we were back at it,

securing the community and homes you’ll be seeing this month. Our initial meetings with the

developers of Cedar Creek made us feel right at home, and we knew the community would be

perfect for hosting our three show homes. We brought on different builders, as well, confident

in their ability to give us something to swoon over. And, boy, did they!

Although I could never play favorites, I definitely have my top picks of special places. First,

I can’t get over how creative and, yes, even private The Prairie Stone’s front landscape is. The

waterfall and bridge in conjunction with the courtyard highlighted by a stone entry make quite

the impression whether you’re arriving for the first time or the hundredth.

Second, who wouldn’t love to snuggle up and spend the entire weekend in The Monaco’s

master suite — it’s like visiting the glamorous side of Paris without leaving the States.

The crystal, marble and silks are practically divine. No husband necessary; invite your

girlfriends instead to this feminine retreat.

Finally, The Nantucket’s kitchen and surrounding spaces induce giddiness with their natural

light and happy colors that make everyday living fun. Even in the laundry room, I wouldn’t

mind doing my most dreaded house chore: ironing. Yuck…oh wait, yay!

While each home is the epitome of luxury home building and the source of many of the

latest design trends, perhaps what’s most impressive is how distinct their styles are from one

another — rustic, French, coastal…something for everyone. Like I said before, you’re going to

love this year’s tour. Come check it out!

WE THANK THE FOLLOWING ORGANIZATIONSFOR THEIR PARTICIPATION!

2009

KCH&G’s 2009 Boulevard of Dreams Homes Tour is not just about the

beautiful homes designed and built to impress — each sold ticket helps

raise money for local children in need. More than 150,000 kids have been

impacted by distributions from our charity partner, the Love Fund for Children,

since the organization’s inception 27 years ago.

Jim Thomas, who has served as the board’s enthusiastic president since 2003,

sees the homes tour as a first-class event in a quality neighborhood that will

offer attendees a vivid snapshot of the Love Fund. “Our volunteers will be

hosting the tour; that person-to-person contact with the public is invaluable and

indispensable,” he says.

The Love Fund for Children started in 1982 with popular WDAF-TV anchor

Cynthia Smith launching an on-air segment called “Thursday’s Child” that

featured foster children from Kansas City needing adoptive homes. The station

began receiving small donations from a concerned public, and Cynthia approached

Jim and other influential community leaders to form an independent group to

oversee funds. Eventually “Thursday’s Child” morphed into the Love Fund for

Children and has raised approximately $5.5 million for children in need; at any

given time, the Fund has between $250,000 and $350,000 available for requests.

“The Love Fund elevates public awareness for funds, goods and services for

children in need, ages 18 and under,” says Joyce Eacock, director of special events.

Funds cover anything from eyeglasses, medical equipment and beds to abuse

counseling, dental treatments and myriad other needs.

“We rely on a vast network of case workers, medical professionals and other

third-party professionals to be our eyes and ears in the community. They observe,

identify and validate a need, then apply to the Love Fund for assistance on behalf

of a child in their care,” Joyce says.

She also notes that the Love Fund’s mission is crucial in these modern times of

government budget-cutting. “As more government programs are eliminated or

budgets are severely reduced, children’s needs still exist. Without our fundraising

efforts, the thousands of children we serve each year would not receive help,”

she says. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE

And that’s just not acceptable, according

to Jim. The board meets monthly to

determine how to distribute donations to

requests on the docket, and the Love

Fund League, a group of dedicated and

exceptional volunteers comprised of men

and women of various ages and gifts,

supports the mission to improve children’s

lives in whatever way it can.

The Love Fund operates with the FOX

4 station’s encouragement and support.

The organization’s office is physically

located at WDAF with its 2.5-person

administrative staff, including Executive

Director Lisa Herron. FOX 4 also assists in

volunteer personnel, disseminating public

service announcements and sponsoring

some of the fundraisers, such as the annual

5K Walk/Run Event. Lisa says the Love

Fund thrives in great part because of the

station’s involvement and passion for it.

“Of course, FOX 4 is instrumental in

telling the public of our successes and our

needs,” she says.

Corporate entities and community

groups also have helped create success.

“eData Solutions, CVS Pharmacy,

Applebee’s International and Silpada

Designs are just a few of our loyal

supporters, and many of them have

employees who serve on our Love Fund

League of volunteers,” Jim says.

In addition, countless organizations

have named the Love Fund as benefactor

of their fundraising efforts. The Love Fund

provides other organizations with support,

too. Jim cites playground equipment for

local battered-women shelters that house

lots of children, and each summer, a Love

Fund-sponsored camp at Smithville Lake

for inner-city kids.

Joyce reflects that KCH&G’s Boulevard

of Dreams Homes Tour is the perfect

partner for the Love Fund. “We’re in the

business of answering functional needs of

children, and helping them develop self-

esteem and identity. The involvement with

the homes tour will help us get that

message out to a compassionate audience.”

CHARITY Love Fund

To reach the stature of elegance and luxury evident in the Boulevard

of Dreams homes, our builders required a little help from their

friends. Many subcontractors donated time and/or upgraded materials

for the noble cause of raising money for the Love Fund. A company

who had a big hand in it all was Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas

City, Kan.

“In general, when building a model home, you work to get better

pricing with your suppliers and vendors,” notes The Nantucket builder

James LaVoy. “Nebraska Furniture Mart was able to cost-effectively

show their latest and greatest products in our homes. It’s about finding

a balance for both parties.”

Nebraska Furniture Mart’s Kansas City Store Director, Jeff Lind,

agrees about the win-win partnership and adds that there’s a third party

who benefits. “The No. 1 reason we wanted to be involved was for the

Love Fund,” he notes. “This was a way for us to help with a great cause

while showcasing many of the designer products people may not know

we carry.”

The Boulevard designers themselves were unfamiliar with some of

NFM’s product. “When the Boulevard designers came into the store,

they already had plans for what they wanted, they were just unsure of

what we had to offer,” says Jan Pouppirt, Design Gallery manager, who

set them up with an in-store designer to show them what was available.

While NFM specializes in all price-points on a number of items

from appliances to furnishings, the superstore carries the most sought-

after brand names, such as Viking, Sub-Zero and Wolf for the kitchen,

and Century, Henredon and Lorts for the living areas. Ultimately, the

designers found exactly what they were looking for to achieve their

individual styles.

The Western edge of luxury in Kansas City is actually in

Olathe. Built on more than 4,500 wooded acres with

streams and lakes, rolling hills and limestone bluffs, Cedar

Creek offers resort-style living in the suburbs.

Open since 1992, this master-planned community contains 15

beautifully landscaped luxurious neighborhoods priced from the

$300,000s to more than $5 million. Only one-third of the acreage has

been developed so far. Ken Rosberg, managing broker of Cedar Creek

Realty, says the development has grown steadily over the years, aver-

aging 50 sales per year. More than 1,000 homes have been built

among the mature trees and varied topography, bringing to life a

variety of architectural styles highlighting the golf course, lake front

or treed valley.

In the heart of Cedar Creek is the Shadow Glen Golf Club, an 18-

hole award-winning private golf course designed by Tom Watson.

Winding through Cedar Creek, the course was named Best New

Private Course of the Year by Golf Digest in 1989 and voted to the

coveted Golf Digest Top 100 list in 1995. Ken feels this was initially

what attracted many buyers to the area.

“Cedar Creek is a special place,” he comments. “It offers a

setting unlike any other in Johnson County. It is one of the most

picturesque settings.”

Other amenities include four lighted tennis courts, an indoor

gymnasium, two swimming pools, jogging and walking trails that

meander through the community, several recreational park areas, and

more than 1,000 acres of undisturbed natural green space.

The resort lifestyle at Cedar Creek also revolves around the 65-acre

Shadow Lake, which is open for sailing, boating and fishing. It is

stocked with more than 250,000 fish and includes a dockside park and

launch facility.

The highly anticipated KCH&G 2009 Boulevard of Dreams Homes

Tour takes place at the North Shore Estates, nestled high on a bluff

overlooking the valley and the golf course. Eighty-five premier

homesites will accommodate a variety of styles ranging from 4,000 to

8,000 square feet and priced between $750,000 and $3 million.

The three show homes open for touring will be priced between

$1.75 million and $2 million. “The tour will showcase the latest

and greatest in technology and decor, but spectacular views from the

best lots are really what separate this tour from other homes tours,”

Ken says.

The Monaco by Bryant-Ratliff

Construction has a Country French manor

flavor, featuring a reverse one-and-a-half-

story floor plan, including four bedrooms

and 4.5 baths spread over 7,100 square

feet. Builder Ron Ratliff says the

opportunity to help the Love Fund was an

enticement to participate in the Boulevard

of Dreams tour. “It’s a great charity to

be involved in, and Cedar Creek is an

awesome development — really the perfect

place to showcase our product,” he adds.

The Prairie Stone by B.L. Rieke &

Associates is a rustic, comfortable home

with five bedrooms and 6.5 baths in 5,670

square feet, while The Nantucket, Forner-

LaVoy Builders’ vision of coastal New

England cottage charm has a 6,250-

square-foot plan with four bedrooms and

4.5 baths. Builder James LaVoy is not only

a frequent builder in Cedar Creek, he is

also a resident. “We love it there. It’s a

great place to live, and shows we live what

we speak,” he notes.

Cedar Creek has a list of featured

builders who have met a strict set of

standards, are members of the Home

Builders Association and have experience

with the wooded and rolling terrain of

the community; however, other builders are

welcome at North Shore Estates, provided

that plans are approved by the design

review committee.

Cedar Creek falls within the boundaries

of both the Olathe School District and

the DeSoto School District. One of the

elementary schools is onsite within

Cedar Creek.

“The architectural detail, established

landscaping and resort-style amenities

combine to make Cedar Creek, and

specifically North Shore Estates, the

premier upper-bracket community in the

area. It offers the perfect setting for dream

homes,” Ken summarizes.

CARTHAGE MARBLECORPORATION

Beautifying homes in Kansas City for over 50 years

In the concept stage of this model, builder Bruce Rieke, wife and designer, Antonia

(Toni), and their team brainstormed ideas for the floor plan and numerous creative

features that you see today. “One special feature is the exterior,” says architect Gerald

Janssen. “The ‘Colorado lodge’ look is a particularly fun part about this house.”

Logs and timbers retrieved from the Riekes’ own land that accent the interior of the

house are examples of the extra time and detail spent on this home. Bruce and his trim

carpenters hand-scraped them themselves — “which is kind of fun,” he adds — giving

the logs a unique look and adding to the overall Western theme.

With their longstanding contractors and designer, the B.L. Rieke team worked round-

the-clock to get the house done by tour time, and nothing says teamwork better than a

finished product that everyone can be pleased with. “We have such a talented group of

people,” Toni says. “It took all of them to get where we are. It’s a really neat working

environment — they’re all like family.”

Bruce also adds that this team earned accolades for a previous home they built in

Cedar Creek last year, winning an award for it during the 2008 Fall Parade of Homes.

Likewise, the Prairie Stone staff is proud to return to the community and looks forward

to this year’s fundraiser that benefits the Love Fund for Children.

BRUCE AND TONI RIEKE, B.L. RIEKE & ASSOCIATES

Bruce Rieke grew up working in his family’s concrete foundation company. By being

involved in the family business, he became directly connected to the construction

industry, and this year, celebrates his 20th year in the home-building business.

Toni has been the interior designer of all their model homes for the past 15 years.

“Bruce and I work well together,” she says. Beginning simply as the bookkeeper, she has

been exclusively involved in all of the architectural design from the beginning to the end

of construction, as well as the interior merchandising.

When the husband and wife team aren’t working together, they enjoy spending time

with their 17-year-old daughter, Savannah, and 8-year-old son, Antone, whom they

adopted from Guatemala. You can find them hanging out at home fishing, hunting,

gardening and riding four-wheelers.

GERALD JANSSEN, ELSWOOD SMITH CARLSON ARCHITECTS

Graduating from Kansas State University in 1977 with a degree in architecture, Gerald

Janssen worked with a few firms before settling with Elswood Smith Carlson Architects

in 1980. “I was really interested in residential design, and I’ve been doing houses ever

since,” he says.

Architecture aside, he spends his free time gardening and collecting and shopping for

retro furniture with his wife, Kay, a hobby they started a decade ago. Completing this

dynamic household, his daughter, Rachel, is a sophomore at Kansas State University,

interested in becoming a teacher, and high-school senior, Greg, is interested in visual

arts/broadcast journalism.

had an idea, we listened to,” says builder Ron Ratliff. “I consider all subcontractors

to be artists and laborers in their own right.”

In addition to talent, it takes kindness and charity to build such a home. “All

participants have been very generous with the builders to make available state-of-the-art

offerings in home construction and furnishings to ensure that our custom home will

showcase the latest and greatest in custom home design and be truly worthy of the term

‘dream home,’” adds designer JoAnn Romano.

RON RATLIFF AND RANDY BRYANT, BRYANT-RATLIFF CONSTRUCTION

Work aside, Ron Ratliff is a family man. He and his family — wife, Cheryl, and daughter,

Ashley — like to spend as much time as possible at their lake house at the Ozarks.

Golfing and boating are two of Ron’s favorite hobbies, as well as gardening and listen-

ing to music — sometimes both at the same time.

Randy Bryant, Ron’s business partner, enjoys the same family activities with his wife,

Kim, and two sons, Cole and Davin. But when it comes to work, it’s the strong partnership

that’s kept the company successful for so long — Ron works closely with each client and

creates the design, while Randy works with the subcontractors and builds the product. “We

like to do stuff that nobody else does, and we take everything to the max,” Ron says.

PATRIC TIERNEY, AIA

Biking every weekend, hiking, skiing and backpacking with friends — yes, this is the side

of architect Patric Tierney that most Kansas Citians don’t see. His less active interests

include photography and reading. “I take pictures of work I’ve done and vacations we’ve

been on,” he says. That means a lot of photos, since he and his wife, Vicki, have been

married for 30 years. Their oldest daughter, Jennifer, followed in her father’s footsteps,

recently graduating with a master’s degree in architecture from the University of Kansas,

while her two other siblings, Jessica and Sean, are in college.

Patric graduated in 1982 from Iowa State University with a bachelor’s and master’s

degree in architecture and has owned his own firm since ’89, after the company he

worked for closed its doors. “It was as good a time as any [to start a business], and I’ve

been working this way ever since,” he says. “I love designing homes for people, and I

hope to never retire.”

JOANN ROMANO, ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS

“Yes, I have blueprints in my back pocket, plans in my notebook, creative ideas in my

head and glaze under my nails,” JoAnn Romano says with a smile. “I’m not the typical

designer.” In her seventh year in the business as a designer and faux finisher (with

education ranging from JCCC, Chicago and Italy), she’s not afraid to get dirty and

neither is her husband of 25 years, Dale, a third-generation master tile setter.

When the two aren’t working side by side on the job site, they enjoy traveling and

discovering architecture in other parts of the country and around the world. “I love to see

the hand of the artist in architecture,” she says.

It takes a village to raise a house — at least one that has a floor plan everyone can agree

on. The Nantucket is the result of a focus group of representative homeowners who

gave input on what was important to them in a home. Their answers contributed to the

fresh layout seen inside and out. “We all worked together as a team, developing the

concept to the final design you see built today,” says architect Scott Bickford.

The intricate planning process has been beneficial for all involved. “We were looking

for a way to market our focus group house plan, bring attention to the Love Fund and

hopefully make everybody winners in the end,” builder Rick Forner says.

RICK FORNER AND JAMES LAVOY, FORNER-LAVOY BUILDERS

Rick Forner has been in the building industry for more than 20 years, starting his own

construction company years ago. But after building a home in 1999 for client James LaVoy,

who has a background in business management and information technology consulting, a

partnership began.

These days, Rick and his wife keep busy with their two sons. When he’s not attending

a Cub or Boy Scouts meeting, he trades in his tool belt for helmets or skis. “I like riding

dirt bikes, water and snow skiing, and I’m a wine enthusiast,” Rick says. “I’m an old

California boy who was raised on a motorcycle. It was my first love.”

James shares Rick’s love of wine as well as family activities like coaching his daughter’s

and son’s baseball, softball and football teams. If not coaching or woodworking, he’s

hard at work making sure all office, sales and marketing efforts run flawlessly for Forner-

LaVoy. “I try to use my experience as a homeowner to bring that perspective to our

processes and approach, improving the experience for our customers,” he explains.

SCOTT BICKFORD AND LYLE BONN, BICKFORD + COMPANY

Scott Bickford’s architecture firm has been around for 29 years, known metro-wide for

designing homes that people around Kansas City immediately recognize and appreciate. But

he doesn’t do it alone. He has a team of 14, and designer Lyle Bonn is one of them. Lyle’s

background includes drawing, drafting and art, and with such experience, it’s not hard to

believe it was his concept that ultimately resulted in the floor plan for The Nantucket.

Scott, a seasoned architect, especially when it comes to the Boulevard of Dreams

homes (he designed two of the houses for the 2007 tour), has been doing this for a long

time, and it’s easy to see he loves what he does. When time allows for him to be away

from work, he travels with his wife, interior designer Linda Carroll, as well as spending

time with friends, and sometimes just relaxing to the sounds of reggae music.

GAIL GOLDEN, ALLIED MEMBER ASID, HOBSON INTERIORS

After being a stay-at-home mom for 15 years, Gail Golden decided to return to the

workforce. She graduated from the Pierce School of Interior Design and took jobs with

a couple firms during a 10-year span. She landed at Hobson Interiors in 1986, right after

the Kansas City store opened its doors to the public. (The Clinton, Mo.-based store has

been around for more than 50 years.) For the past 33 years, she has enjoyed her career

path and appreciates her involvement in projects like the Boulevard of Dreams.

“Building one large home and being solely responsible [for the design] is a big challenge

and honor, and with this type of home, I thought it would be a lot of fun, and it has been,”

she says.

With no obstructions to the wooded landscape trailing from

the home’s private backyard, the Riekes and team have gracefully

complemented the existing natural beauty, while up front a

naturalized berm with a rushing water feature and lush plantings

maintain distinction and privacy.

Fundamentally, the home is integrated into the surroundings,

concentrating on what is important — quality craftsmanship and

intimate spaces enhanced with the unexpected nuance. Massive,

hand-carved timbers, elegant brick archways, stacked stone

walls…they’re all here in abundance.

The result transforms this house into a welcoming contemporary

retreat for the future homeowner.

If you want an example of total escape, look no further than

B.L. Rieke & Associates’ interpretation of bliss: down-to-

earth attitude with out-of-this-world amenities. “We decided

to build a home with a contemporary edge that invites the

outside in. It’s a concept that’s comfortably laid-back yet

brings together a big sense of style…or, as we like to call it,

‘John Wayne chic,’” interior designer Toni Rieke says.

The Prairie Stone not only fits the expectations of those

familiar with the company’s work — “We are known for building

houses that integrate handcrafted details blended with rustic,

natural elements,” builder Bruce Rieke says — it surpasses them.

It’s a story-and-a-half of pure livability that capitalizes on the

North Shore Estates’ picturesque cliff setting.

THIS HOME ATTRACTS NATURE-LOVERS WITH ITSHANDSOME MIX OF RUSTIC, PRAIRIE STYLE.

B Y G L O R I A G A L EPRAIRIE STONETHE



T H E H O M E S

Keeping guests interested in the dining room will come not only from the cook’s hand but by

the inventive wall treatment dressed in layers of warm copper-colored luster.

Under the ceiling designed with a wheel of wood beams, the focus here is a weighty

black carved table surrounded by six upholstered chairs. A recessed niche holds the buffet

topped with a hexagonal mirror that reflects three 10-foot by 10-foot hand-hewn fir timbers

that visually separate this room from the adjoining public spaces.

Anchoring the furnishings is a tightly woven Berber carpet inset into a 12-inch ribbon of

Brazilian cherry wood.

ELEGANT REPAST

Step inside the front entryway and the drama

unfolds right before your eyes. It begins

seductively with an open-knot wooden newel

post then a flight of 16 cherry wood treads

each faced with travertine tile. It’s no ordinary

staircase, featuring grooved, tree-bark iron

balustrades that emulate the naturalistic theme

throughout the house. Climbing past a faux-

painted niche framing that special piece of

favored art, this winding staircase is the

epitome of elegance.

A REGAL WELCOME

2009


Multiple pathways lead to the heart of the home: the kitchen. This is a space that concentrates on

details designed to make cooking a delight. “I love the chiseled-edge granite farmhouse sink and

the intricate metallic tile design in the rough-slate backsplash. Bruce really likes the idea of a coffee

service area that’s tucked into its own niche by the fridge. Everything in this kitchen is convenience-

driven,” Toni says.

Bruce’s signature design starts with knotty cherry cabinets rubbed with a black stain, glazed then

sealed in a velvet-soft finish. Each self-closing cabinet is accented with handmade bronze pulls.

Complementing the dark metal is a dramatic, form-fitting copper vent hood designed just for this space.

A recessed tray ceiling — another signature design for the builder — is accented with mosaic

slate tile and five pendant task lights. “We think the whole space is dynamic, but in addition to the

beautiful granite-topped island, what many people will notice is the brick archway highlighted by

ledge stone columns at the breakfast bar,” Bruce says.

GRATEFUL GATHERINGS

Retire after a long day into this inviting study that begs you

to sit a spell. Bruce blended a variety of textures within a

soothing palette of earthy neutrals that will undoubtedly

cause you to linger.

A solid brick fireplace surround is the perfect backdrop

for a hand-hewn timber mantel Bruce made from a

trunk found on his property. Combined with a tongue-and-

groove vaulted ceiling and bronze-toned walls, here’s a

study to contemplate.

RELAX AND RETREAT



No matter how big or small the house,

family and friends inevitably end up in

the kitchen, “so we designed this room

to accommodate a crowd,” Bruce says.

It’s easy enough to use the warming

oven or beverage center situated in the

oversized island. Then, when dinnertime

rolls around, simply serve directly to

the kitchen table with seating for eight.

Like the adjacent great room, this

room features an expansive 14-foot

bank of windows overlooking acres of

scenic woods.

DINNER IS SERVED

Great rooms are so named because they are just that…great.

This one manages to impress without overwhelming.

It all starts with the unique double-turn ceiling fan, which is

a conversation point in itself, but then again, so is the alder

mantel detailed with rifle casings.

Real, not veneered, Apache ledge stone at the hearth and

kitchen columns flanks the room with rustically elegant texture.

In turn, the stonework perfectly complements the satiny knotty

alder wood trim and Brazilian cherry wood floor. Niches

include a display shelf backed with slate and a custom cabinet

designed to hold a 54-inch television.

“The woods are such a bonus for this lot, permitting so much

privacy that we decided to leave this beautiful bank of nine

windows minimally dressed,” Toni adds.

DEFINED BY DETAILS


There’s a whole lot of fun to be had in this 2,000-square-foot recreation center loaded with eye candy. Maybe it’s the

impressive water-glass-fronted wine cellar or the 400-pound hand-hewn pine logs that carve up the space into three distinct

areas: bar, media and recreation area. All

in all, this casual and unique room begins

the moment you realize you’ve stepped

into a bit of rustic heaven.

Noticeably, prints representing life on

the farm and oils of the Wild West

painted by Jeannie Pflumm set the stage

for bellying up to the granite-topped,

semicircular bar. Three pendant lights

illuminate the stacked stone bar and

intricately designed mosaic-tiled soffit.

An 80-inch home theater is specifically

designed for those who won’t be able

to budge from the cushy leather

seating. Then again, when the mood

strikes, there’s always a game of billiards

waiting nearby.

WHY LEAVE HOME?


Neighbors and their background

noise melt away in the private front

yard’s verdant landscape highlighted

by a water feature reminiscent of a

Colorado mountain stream.

A WORLD APART

Once you pass through the stacked stone archway,

softly lit with dancing spiral gas flames, a private

courtyard awaits near the front door.

WALK THIS WAY



Forget scurrying back and forth during

dinner. Once the meal is ready, park

everything on this handsome, chiseled-

edge granite buffet outlined in brick.

Designed to glamorize guests (not to

mention the food) with a bold bronze

mirror, everything will be waiting until

you’re ready to light the candles.

SMART THINKING

Cook. Eat. Drink. Watch TV.

Watch the flames. Watch the

sun set. Take a dip in the spa.

The indoors ain’t got nothing

you can’t get outside.

EVERYTHINGAL FRESCO


Close off the world in this majestic master suite. Tucked

under a vaulted, copper-colored beamed ceiling, the room

is comfortably inviting. Not too big, not too small.

Its adjoining bath feels similar, without losing any

luxurious amenities. His-and-her vanities — check. Deep

tub for soaking — check. A closet any woman would kill

for — check.

with disabilities now or in the future. Also thinking ahead,

unfinished space in the basement is ready to become a game

room or storm shelter, while an elevator could someday be

placed in a prepared cavity in the wall. “Everything that’s done

has to be coordinated,” says builder Ron Ratliff — even the

behind-the-scenes electrical system is color-coordinated and

organized. This kind of dedicated craftsmanship doesn’t go

unnoticed. Take it all in on this visual tour.

Glitz and glamour meet cozy comfort in this fully

customized 7,104-square-foot home. From the

cobblestone path outside the entry to the 22

chandeliers throughout the home, every inch was carefully

considered and handled by professionals.

“We came up with a theme, and then that drove the design,”

says designer JoAnn Romano, who spent months faux painting

nearly every room in designs from animal hides to bamboo

groves. The result offers a lived-in, distressed feel that suits

the project as a whole. In combination with hickory floors

throughout the main level, dramatic wood beams and mantels,

hand-carved cabinetry with intricately rounded edges, and three

LIKE THE EUROPEAN COUNTRY ITSELF, THIS HOMEEXUDES LUXURIOUS ELEGANCE,PACKAGED IN

A COMFORTABLE OLD WORLD/COUNTRY FRENCH AMBIANCE.

MONACOTHEB Y B R O O K E P E A R L

You’ll be greeted by a dramatic French-inspired foyer surrounded by an

elegant dining room with faux metallic ceiling, a masculine office and a

prominent staircase with triptych painting that JoAnn named “Gardens of

Versi.” “When you walk in, it’s the ‘wow’ factor,” JoAnn says. “You feel

like you’re at home but transported to a French hamlet.”



T H E H O M E S

WELCOME!

Past the foyer, the great room is more intimate, with seating

for late-night chats and a front-row view overlooking the

bluffs. The fireplace is a knockout focal point, surrounded

by gorgeous onyx tile. Display niches illuminated by light

boxes above flank the hearth.

TAKE FIVE

2009


Though there’s plenty of room for multiple cooks in the kitchen, the

adjoining hearth room allows the family to be nearby but not in the

way. At the center, a moss stone fireplace reaches from floor to

ceiling, one of six in the house. “We say with every room we want to

‘max’ it out, so I don’t really have a favorite [space], but the

kitchen/hearth room is taken to the next level because you have

everything you’ll need and more,” Ron says.

PULL UP A CHAIR

“The house has entertainment and private zones but

concentrates on the large hearth room and kitchen,” says

architect Patric Tierney. Fully loaded, this kitchen

includes two dishwashers, one a pan scrubber, the other

all-purpose; a full-size refrigerator with refrigerated

drawers; a separate freezer with freezer drawers; large

island with built-in steamer and trough sink; warming

drawer and oven; and bed & breakfast fireplace.

Underneath it all are travertine tiles from Turkey.

CHEF’S DELIGHT



To entertain a group or just yourself, easy access to the wine bar is a very good thing. With its wine fridge and custom racks, you

can store several bottles on hand. Plus, it looks great with one of the unique mosaics, copper sink and its own tiny chandelier tucked

under a bank of architectural windows. What’s left but to raise your glass to a good time?

LUSH ADDITION

Outdoor living is hot, and so is this lanai when the

fireplace gets going. Enjoy nature during any season

with this screened-in space off the main level or just

use it for its Wolf grill included in the outdoor

kitchen. Access it from the skywalk linking it to the

driveway or the 8-foot-wide entry when both sliding

glass doors are open.


NATURE’S CALLING

On your way to the master bedroom,

don’t overlook the half bath, with a

painted Bombay chest vanity and an

eight-layer wall finish that’s embedded

with crystal beads. “This is the most

impressive half bath we’ve completed

as a team,” Ron says.

JUST A TOUCH-UP



After moving into the master bedroom,

you may want to do just that …

move in. Striking in a simple palette

of neutral whites and real crystal

chandeliers (all crystal you see in this

house is real), its serenity is both

lulling and invigorating, its femininity

obvious. Wanting to create spaces that

would suit both genders, JoAnn says,

“We balanced the femininity of the

master bedroom with the masculinity

of the office.”

The atmosphere seeps into the

luxuriously appointed bath, which has

an oversized tub set in a marble tub

deck; walk-in shower with custom

glass enclosure; custom curved his-

and-her vanities; and a room-sized

closet complete with a safe room

strategically located behind a full-

length mirror, with telephone and

Internet access.

SUITE PEACEFULNESS


An archway spanning two beverage refrigerators leads into a wine cellar complete with a

table for private tastings and custom wine racks Bryant-Ratliff built for bottles of all shapes

and sizes. Though not temperature-regulated, a brick tile floor and stone walls surrounding

the second archway give the space a real “cellar” effect.

HAVE A GLASS


If you’re in the mood to close off the rest of the world, head to the back of the lower level where you’ll find the home

theater. The plush purple carpet and oversized chairs are ready to take you to another place. Get lost in a movie on the 100-

inch projection screen or contemplate the cosmos looking up at the starry night constellation. The projector is hidden, and

the walls have a faux suede finish that absorbs sound. Just pull the curtains shut (actually they’re remote-controlled) and

enjoy the surround sound from the comfort of your own couch. “This is how a theater should be,” Ron says.

PLEASE TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONES

Builder Randy Bryant’s favorite part of the

house is the downstairs kitchen/bar area

(which makes for three full kitchens total)

and hearth room, which mimics the layout

on the main level. This kitchen offers

additional bar seating, shimmery Cosmos

granite countertops, under-counter lighting, a

copper backsplash, double oven, induction

cook top, warming drawer, dishwasher, ice

maker, full wine and beer refrigerators, a

hidden keg beer tap, and, another pleasant

surprise, a flat-screen TV concealed behind a

mirror in the cabinets.

They also suggested that a circular stair is preferred, that

hallways should be minimized, and that they wouldn’t miss a

coat closet in the entry or a formal powder bath as long as one

was accessible on the main level. From all this information,

architect Scott Bickford drew up a plan that was versatile,

not formulaic.

In addition to these interior improvements, the team came up

with five different exterior elevations, from the Hamptons theme

to Old World, to please individual tastes.

Inside out, The Nantucket is a comprehensive manifestation of

people’s utmost desires for the most special of all places. “This

home is about livability and comfort. It’s for the person who

walks through the front door and says, ‘I’m home,’” James says.

Rick Forner and James LaVoy wanted to break out of the

status quo with their 6,250-square-foot floor plan. The

business partners hosted a focus group of prospective

clients and homeowners to determine what exactly people

want in a home. Through a series of questions, they got their

answers: open spaces including a combined living and hearth

room, a functional back hall, secluded master suite, lower-level

entertaining and outdoor living.

The dining room remained in the plan even though everyone

admitted they would use it only for holidays or entertaining.

“They told us that that place was a traditional part of life they

wanted to continue,” James says.

DESIGNED WITH COMFORT AND COLOR IN MIND,THIS HOME WHISKS YOU OFF TO ANOTHER PLACE.

NANTUCKETTHEB Y A N D R E A D A R R

A Hamptons-style home is about simplicity — no

froufrou allowed. But that’s not to say it can’t be

gorgeous. The kitchen is a perfect example, dressed

in crisp white cabinets with punches of cheery paint

colors on the island and end cabinet. Its practical

size still contains more than the usual number of

luxury brands, with space for an overflow of goods

in the nearby pantry, where an extra fridge and

adjustable shelves await. Details like a subtle glass

listello in the backsplash, apron-front sink and

display plate rack add up big time. What’s even

bigger, though, is the 10-foot by 5-foot knotty alder

island with a reclaimed chestnut top and room for

two low barstools on one side. “It’s so much more

comfortable if the island’s not raised,” designer

Gail Golden says.



T H E H O M E S

CLEAN-LINED KITCHEN

2009


Most of the trim is plain and the baseboards

deep in this casual, coastal home, but the

wainscoting is meant to stand out. The

breakfast room’s vertical stripes took hours

of careful strokes to create this fabulous

effect. Also take note of the visual pop

between the stained doors and windows and

the white outer trim that makes them recede.

POP GOES THE EASEL

In a serendipitous moment, Gail walked into the dining room during

construction and saw the potential of a half-framed barrel ceiling.

Instead of finishing it with drywall, she and Rick decided to turn it

into a delightful detail reminiscent of a ship’s hull. “I knew this

house wasn’t going to be very formal. If it was, this wouldn’t have

worked,” Rick notes. Fortunately, it does — and very well.

DINING AT SEA



Warm wood cabinets are offset by a sparkling sea-

colored recycled glass countertop, cobalt glass tile

“wave” flourish in the floor and accent coastal tiles

in the backsplash. Functional for more than storage,

this transitional space houses a beverage fridge,

wine fridge and bar sink with push-button disposal. In

the background, you may notice the contemporary

graphic pattern in the back hallway, and no, it’s not

wallpaper. Faux painter Twyla Olson-Hahn perked up

the “friend’s entrance” using colors selected from the

house with metallic gold and silver undertones.

NOT JUST FOR THE BUTLER

Mudrooms are the must-have space in new

homes today, but this one leaps from

utilitarian to fun-ctional. Birch and maple

cabinets make a contrasting statement next

to a colorful ceramic tile backsplash and

Spearmint-colored walls. The black-stained

birch helps transition to the laundry room’s

black-and-white checkered floor and black

granite countertops. Watered-down paint on

the random-planked wainscoting allows the

wood grain to show through five alternating

coastal colors.

WHISTLE WHILEYOU WORK


Three sets of French doors open to the upper-level lanai (a direct copy

is below), outfitted with a wicker furniture set and backed by an iron

trellis with stone planter box beneath. Once the hibiscus plants and

mandevilla vines are established, they will create more privacy so the

future homeowners will be able to eat, watch TV and relax by the fire

in seclusion.

OUTSIDE ANYTIME

A single great room — not a separate formal living room and hearth room — is the main gathering space

in the home. Its soaring height and ship lap siding is capped with two silver chandeliers and a simple yet

elegant fireplace. The TV is craftily blended into the background behind cabinets so that the main focus is

the conversation area punctuated by facing sofas and oversized chairs surrounding a deep shag rug.

A GREAT GREAT ROOM



Wood paneling oozes masculinity

in this office tucked off the living

room. While the stone fireplace

flickers, you can get a lot

accomplished in this powerful

space. Behind the substantial

desk, the middle bookcase pushes

inward to reveal a closet for

hiding cords, printers, files and

other office paraphernalia that

could clutter the room.

INTENSE STUDY

Stepping away from the public space and the

coastal palette, the master suite transitions into a

more contemporary retreat in luscious mocha,

with glamorous crystal and silver accents. The

room is comfortably sized and adorned, featuring

tailored Roman shades and a built-in chest.

YES, MASTER


A similar style flows from the bedroom into the bath, where the elements

of design pop in abundant natural light. A double slipper claw foot tub

grabs the spotlight against a towering wall whose other side is a double-

entry walk-in shower. A sophisticated wallpaper matches the Emperador

dark marble countertops and travertine floor — heated, of course — and

punches of stainless brushed “pennies” behind the tub, coffee bar and

makeup vanity.

POSH PREPARATION


A curved concrete staircase arrives at the

lower level, with hopes of someday

wearing gently worn dips in the treads,

like you’d find in an old monastery. The

split foundation basement offers two

darling kids’ bedrooms for a boy and girl,

as well as a nook for billiards, featuring

vertical paneling and a lowered, curved

ceiling that was a thoughtful solution to

the mechanics that would otherwise be in

the way. Down more steps is a secluded

guest suite, bar, wine cellar and living

space with a 102-inch projection screen.

fine custom home.
