Theres nothing quite like the holiday season. Christmas trees, stockings hangingover the fireplace, festive ornaments anall the lights create a magical world ofSanta, elves and sugarplum fairies. Whe

friends and family come to visit, there is often apanic to find the time to decorate a home thatreflects the magic and joy of the holidays. With thehelp of a local designer as well as a few retail storehomeowners are well on their way to being hostess

with the mostest.For some, bright, bold, jewel tones are todays

decorating answer to the traditional red and greenslump. Plum, goldenrod, cerulean and aqua-coloredornaments for trees tie any home dcor together wia hint of festivity and a lot of style. At Design Expoin Roseville, senior designer Cindy Serochi has created a Nutcracker Christmas-themed tree usingjewel-toned ornaments and nutcracker ornaments.

This would really work for a home that wantsmore of a modern elegant feel the sparkle addsglamour and elegance, Serochi said.

At the Galleria at Roseville, Crate & Barrel fea-tures ornaments organized by color and theme tomake decorating a tree at a reasonable price easierfor stumped homeowners.

For the traditional homeowner, red and green arestill the go-to colors of the season, but this year thehave more of a punch as the colors have been updaed to cherry reds and lime or sage greens.

These colors just give off more of a modern,edgy feel than the traditional red and green. Theyrebrighter and pack more of a punch for home decoraing, said Stacy Reynolds, home store coordinatorfor Crate & Barrel.

Families with small children, or perhaps simplythose just young at heart, will adore the whimsicaltheme that is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss and How thGrinch Stole Christmas. The curvy, glittery orna-ments add kid-friendly fun to stuffy Christmas treesand in this case, the sparkle adds energy and whims

Give your tree the look of glittered pinecones,sugared fruits and feathered bird ornaments, whichwill bring nature indoors and combine organic dcwith simple elegance.

Feathers, birds and peacocks are big in thistheme and really stunning on Christmas trees andthroughout the home, Serochi said.

To top the tree this year, Serochi suggests usingsprays of berries and blossoms or bells tied togetheinstead of the traditional star or angel.

For the family who celebrates Hanukkah, there aalso many choices for decorating this year. Choosebetween a modern, silver menorah and an old worldantique-look. Decorate the table with the menorahand silver or gold bead garlands and some of theglimmer pillar and taper candles. For the dinnertable, centerpieces of apothecary jars and hurricanecandleholders filled with the mirrored mosaic gar-land, blue marbles or blue and gold ribbon star orstarburst ornaments will help make the holiday complete.

Tying your holiday table to the rest of yourdcor need not be an added source of stress.No matter which theme or color palette you

choose, there are many options to make it all com-plete.

Different sizes and shapes of plates are verypopular for dinner tables, you shouldnt be afraid tomix circles with squares or rectangles its actuallyquite pretty, Reynolds said.

Dont stop at the dinnerware either, as center-pieces can be easy and add a little extra to the fes-tivities. Fill apothecary jars with candies or orna-ments for childlike whimsy and fun. For a moreclassic elegance fill the center of the table withcandles in candleholders of varying sizes, shapesand heights to add drama. Serochi suggests usinggarlands made of pine needles as a table runner,adding ornaments and floral sprays or pineconesand sugared fruits to continue the nature indoorstheme.

To chop or not to chop? That is the questionfor many homeowners who have concerns ofsafety and the environment but still want the

perfect Christmas tree and the fresh pine scent thatcomes along with it.

Safety is obviously of primary concern; realtrees dry out and die quickly, which could pose afire hazard when combined with hot Christmaslights. According to Wilma Homsy of CaliforniaBackyard in Roseville, artificial trees are far saferand more convenient for busy homeowners.

Our trees are extremely life-like because theyare modeled after trees found in Tahoe and all overthe United States, Homsy said.

Most artificial trees come pre-lit and in two to

three sections, making set-up a snap. Anotheradvantage of artificial trees is that they allow thehomeowner to get as specific as possible when itcomes to size and shape. They are always perfectlyformed, without bald spots or thinning needles pro-viding a perfect tree that lasts the holiday season.

Of course, one disadvantage of the artificial treeis the absence of the pine fresh aroma that comeswith a real tree. Roseville Bath & Body Worksstore manager Nitika Nitashni directs customerslonging to recapture the smell of a real Christmastree to pine-scented candles, reed diffusers, scentedoil wall diffusers and room sprays. Called ThePerfect Christmas, the tree and evergreen collec-

tions of home fragrance items have becomeincreasingly popular among homeowners who havechosen to go the artificial tree route.

Pine scented candles, warm oil diffusers andtable figurines that hide gel packs that scent theroom with the desired fragrance are a good option.Choose from mistletoe, Christmas wreath, balsamand cedar or sparkling pine, to get the exact scentyour nose desires. Our favorite? Balsam and cedar.

Happy Holidays and happy decorating!

Mixing plates of differenshapes and sizes addsinterest to any tablesetting.

he weather and the economy are cooling but thetrend of re-working homes to create a personalsanctuary is as hot as ever.

According to Mike Jeffers, of Jeffers, Dolan andDolan Construction in Granite Bay, 80 percent of theirbusiness is from people whose homes theyve remodeledagain and again.

Building material prices are as low as theyve beenin 10 years, Jeffers said.

Jeffers said many homes in Roseville and Granite Baywere built in the 1980s or earlier, when a typical kitchenincluded a peninsula, which separated dining nook andkitchen.

But today, people want to open everything up, like agreat room, Jeffers said.

Popular kitchen items include refrigerators and dish-

washers that look like cabinetry, wine centers, turntablecupboards with lazy Susans, and pull-outs for items likespice racks, towel racks and cutting boards.

People are really utilizing their space, Jeffers said.In other areas of the home, flat-screen televisions

have become commonplace, as have data systems andsecurity systems that include outdoor cameras.

Stone flooring has been in fashion for the last fewyears, but bamboo floors are new, and have become apopular item. Butcher blocks are coming back in style,replacing granite-covered islands as well.

One thing most remodeling homowners have in common is thedesire for healthy and environ-

Updating the home pays for itself ithe long run.

California where the climates good,said Jerry Williams of Granite BayLandscape.

Theyre wanting to be outdoorsmore than ever before.

Williams has seen interest in outdoorstructures increase substantially in thelast several years.

Theres a real trend to bring theindoors out, which is creating a marketfor outdoor barbecues and even fulloutdoor kitchens.

Water features are popular as well.People want rain curtains and waterfallsto go along with their in-ground swim-ming pools.

As for style, Williams said cus-tomers in Granite Bay and Rosevilleare primarily interested in a naturallook. Granite and extensive greenerywork perfectly to create ponds, creeks,and rock outcroppings.

Drought-tolerant plants, as well asfoliage that grows well with oaks, orplants that tolerate shade are gainingpopularity.

Williams company motto is gra-cious living and he believes the mostimportant aspect of any homes outdoorspace is that it be a place where thehomeowners and their guests can relaxand be comfortable.

Janet Simkins, nursery manager atSierra Nursery in Roseville, agrees thatplants that do well in the Sacramentoregions hot summer climate arealways in demand, and for good reason.

Outdoor kitchens provide homeownersthe ultimate in entertaining.

Granite Bay as well, and Simkinsencourages customers to not only seekout California native plant species, buplants from Europe and Australia aswell.

As outdoor living areas becomemore of an entertainment focal point,lawn space is shrinking.

There seems to be a movement tohave a lot of concrete, which meanspeople are using more containers toplant, Simkins said.

Its clean less dirt is tracked in tthe home, and outdoor kitchensdemand it, she said of the concretetrend.

In addition to cheerful gardens,theres been a real upswing in peoplewanting to grow their own food, whicSimkins attributes to not only the cur-rent state of the economy, but also thegreen movement.

People want their food to be organic and free of pesticides, she said.Winter vegetables are delicious, an

Simkins said November is the perfectmonth to plant peas, broccoli, cauli-flower and several varieties of lettucegreens.

Locals share passion formaking beer and wine

From vinesand hops

Roseville/Granite Bay Living 2008 4

Roseville and Granite Bay arecommunities with residentswho enjoy a variety of pas-times and hobbies.The two communities offer

the ultimate when it comes to the numberof sports and exercise options as well asshopping and dining experiences locatedright outside the backdoor for many resi-dents.

For Granite Bay resident DebbieKnutson and her husband Randy, theirhope is their hobby will provide themwith enough income to provide for themin their retirement years. The Knutsonsare winemakers and owners of High ViewVineyard located in Placerville.

We bought about 40 acres with somefriends of ours in 2000, Debbie said. Itwas raw land. It was a good deal.

Debbie said the property is located ina hilly area with gorgeous views.

We initially planted Syrah grapes in2002, she recalled. It took a while toget things established, but we did have asmall harvest in 2004. Last year weactively began selling the wine.

Although Debbie admits she didnthave any experience making wine, shehas taken classes at UC Davis and exten-sion courses through El Dorado Countyand a previous career in biology researchhelped as well.

Winemaking is part art and part sci-ence, she said. But the grape market is

cyclical and we have a long-term outlookon the whole thing. Its refreshing andfun for us.

Through Debbies research theKnutsons and their business partnersdecided to plant Zinfandel, Grenache,Mourvedre and Viognier grapes and arepresently working with a vineyard con-

sultant to ensure the vineyards are plant-ed just right.During the harvest season, which

recently ended for 2008, Debbie said shetook daily trips spending many longhours at the vineyards. High ViewVineyard is a hands-on operation enlist-ing the help of friends and family to dothe picking, crushing and pressing of thegrapes.

As a winemaker each year I try tofocus on learning one new thing aboutthe process, she said. There are lots of

tricks to discover. Our attitude is that wlearn by doing.

Because of the type of wine Debbieprefers, High View wines tend to be leand crisp.

Although the Knutsons built the winery a few years back, High View does noperate a public tasting room and Debbadmits they are new to the whole conceof marketing their product. High Viewwines are not sold in retail establishmenas yet, but Debbie said they often particpate in local charity events and pouringssuch as the recent Eggplant Festival helin Loomis in October.

In addition to the High View label,Debbie said the winery is interested inlaunching a second brand call Synapse.According to Debbie, the idea for thename came up since Randy is a neuroradiologist and synapse in the medicalworld means the joining of two nerve

cells.The Knutsons and their partners arepleased with the size and condition oftheir winery. There are no plans toexpand the operation into a mega-wineras they want to be able to enjoy additional diversions in life.

We just want to have fun, Debbiesaid. And were hoping to be able tohave the winery fund our years in retirement.

But making wine is not theonly beverage local residentsenjoy creating themselves.Granite Bay resident DavidLong has been brewing beer

in his home for the past 10 years.Although the process for making beerincludes fermenting and temperature con-

trol as in winemaking, the final productis drinkable much sooner than the prod-uct the Knutsons make.

Long said he usually brews about 10gallons of beer in one batch, which takeseight to 10 hours to complete. Hes

always brewing a different recipe butadmits he prefers brewing ales, which hesaid usually have a heavier flavor than alarger. Different types of brews are possi-ble by using different styles of yeast andhops, which are a type of grain.

Long said he usually makes alesbecause they have a roasted caramel look

and give a sweet taste upon the first sipand offer a slight bitterness at the end.In addition to the yeast and hops,

which Long has begun to grow in hisbackyard, a variety of grains are used togive the ale the perfect flavor.

In trying to devise the perfect brew,Long uses a computer program to calculate how much of each ingredient to useThe most important ingredient for thebest tasting beer in Longs opinion is thewater.

Ninety percent of beer is water, hesaid.

Once all the ingredients are gatheredand combined in the right order and proportion, fermentation begins. The mixtumust reach a certain temperature in ordeto convert the starches into sugar.

The trick after it boils is to get everything to cool as fast as possible, he said

Long said the fermentation processusually lasts approximately one weekbefore the brew is placed in another bottle or container where it ferments anothone to two weeks.

Long said this is where things areclosely monitored as the sugars convert

to alcohol and the grains and hops dis-solve into the beer. After this process, thbrew is placed into individual bottles orkegs.

It will keep for about one year, hesaid. Beer doesnt age like wine.

For Long, making beer at home is aweekend pastime that usually involvesseveral friends and neighbors joining inthe processs. Its become a family affaas well as daughter and college studentQuincys design of the brews label,Silvertree Brewery, is named afterLongs street address.

Eldest daughter Mckenna, also enjoyjoining the brewery festivities.I love to participate, Mckenna saidDavid said he doesnt have plans to

enter his brand of beer in any competi-tions; home brewing is just a hobby forhim. He even admits he sometimes purchases a variety of brews from the localgrocery store.

My favorite store-bought brand isSierra Nevada Harvest Ale, he said.


David Long, shown here with hisbrewing and fermentation equip-ment, brews roughly 10 gallonsof beer per batch which takeshim about eight to 10 hours.
