Benu and Raj Kulkarni watched their three daughters grow up in their Centerville home. They’ve celebrated birthdays, holidays, and first days of school. Memories and experiences like these are once-in-a-lifetime. For many of us, it’s hard to walk away from something that has brought so much joy.

Just like the Kulkarnis, Bob and Monica Fry chose to renovate their home rather than move on. They recently transformed their back yard into an inviting Caribbean getaway. Their family visits often, creating even more memories for the couple to cherish.

I feel exactly like the homeowners in our featured stories. My hus-band and I have lived in our home in Xenia for over 25 years. Years ago we mentioned to the kids we might move, there was such an uproar with our children we decided to stay! There is something to be said for remaining in the same neighborhood for all these years, we have the best neighbors in the world!

This is essentially what Housetrends is all about—showcasing homes that tell stories about the families living inside. It is our hope that as you go through life, you create memories in a house you love.

Sincerely,

Evelyn Yaus and the Housetrends staff

In today’s economy most people are choosing to spend more time at home and increase the value of their homes. Our clients would like to increase their outdoor living space in order to enjoy their time at home together and spend more time entertaining. They would like a low maintenance, cozy and intimate retreat. Like so many of our clients, the challenge is to encompass all of their needs in a minimum amount of space. Our client’s lot is small, narrow and relatively flat.

A beautiful outdoor space is a great addition to any home. The space we have created is ideal for entertaining friends and family. The picket fence offers low maintenance and outlines the boundaries. The addition of dwarf pyramidal evergreen plantings offers some privacy and an intimate feel. The solar powered water feature offers an environ-mentally responsible and beautiful spot for relaxation and rejuvenation after a long day at work.

Our clients are environmentally aware and are concerned with conserving and recycling water. The patio will be

built incorporating permeable pavers with a natural stone look. This will add a classic look to an older property while providing an escape for the rainwater run off. Permeable pavers are perfect for a flat lot. The voids in the pavers allow the water to drain through and reach the soil under-neath, recharging our ground water supply. Another way to recycle water is to add underground storage systems that will collect the rainwater from the downspouts off the house and the garage. The water from this collection system will be used to water the yard, plantings, and their vegetable garden.

A built-in grill has been incorporated along with a serv-ing area made from veneered stone to match the patio. It is located close to the kitchen area for easier access and functionality. The patio area is large enough for larger parties but has the flexibility to offer an intimate setting. This area has been created by placing a small ornamental tree in the center to add partial shade and add scale. We have also built a small fire pit on the side. You can achieve

the intimate feel by adding lounge furniture under the covered porch and possibly a swing.

The patio is connected to the garage and garden area by a paver walkway. An arbor with picket fencing is added behind the garage to separate the garden from the main patio area.

By placing the vegetable garden behind the garage it uses this valuable space while hiding it from the patio when entertaining larger parties. A compost area has been incorporated along the side of the garage, out of site from the living area.

Several small leafed ornamental trees have been added along the driveway for some spring and fall color with little cleanup. The trees along with the fence by the driveway add to the intimacy by enclos-ing the living space while blocking the views of the driveway and street.

The plantings surrounding the yard and patio offer soft lush low maintenance bursts of color, using

flowering plants and colorful perennials. We would also suggest adding some decorative pots for seasonal color on the covered porch and patio.

The functionality of this outdoor space offers support for gardening, privacy, relaxing, and intimacy. It offers a seamless transition from the indoors to the outdoors. Taking into consideration the needs and wants of the clients, we have created the perfect, ultimate outdoor living oasis.

Round on the house

Washington Township couple prove there is no such thing as last call By Alison Bour | Photos by Daniel Feldkamp/Visual Edge Imaging

As an entrepreneur in the government real estate

appraisal field, Bob Fry works long hours. As a

result, he and his wife, Monica, don’t take as many

vacations as they’d like. But they found the perfect

solution by creating a private getaway in their own

back yard that rivals most Caribbean resorts.

017-023 tLND RoundOnTheHouse.indd 17 5/26/10 11:32:33 AM

Resort-inspired designThe Frys moved into their Washington Township home 19 years ago, with kids in tow. “We were just happy to have a house with a pool,” laughs Monica.

Now, the Frys’ grandchildren can wander through hidden pathways and a secret garden, enjoy a virgin cocktail at Bob’s Tiki Bar, sit poolside on a meandering seating wall—even throw a Mexican sand pebble that represents a wishing stone into a cascad-ing waterfall.

“It started out as a normal plat home,” says Jim Teske, owner of Centerville Landscaping, the contractor who transformed the back yard space into a vacation para-dise.

The idea began when the Frys added a two-level addition to the rear of the house. Monica initially wanted to turn an enclosed porch with a “tacky” screen door into a four-season room. When it turned out smaller than she anticipated, she thought, why not take the addition across the back of the house?

So that’s what the Frys did. Once complete, they then found themselves looking out from their newly enlarged home at wooden fencing, essentially two separate back yards, and a fair amount of boring grass.

It simply wouldn’t do, especially for two outdoor enthusiasts. Now, the only thing that remained was the original pool, which also underwent a renovation of its own.

The first order of business was designing a way the upper and lower levels of the yard presented one cohesive theme. The Frys credit Teske and designer Tim Ludwig for understanding both the art and science of outdoor reconstruction.

Hand-picked stone steps now lead from the pool and upper level deck to a pondless waterfall and courtyard. When a large boulder resembling a seat was located, Teske placed it near the waterfall. “My grandson calls it his wishing rock,” says Monica.

Entertaining in styleTeske says many homeowners “plop” a pool in their back yard without considering the surroundings. By adding curved walls and pavers, the pool no longer seems like an afterthought. Instead it is now a central part of the back yard’s entertainment concept.

Even the gated entryway to the couple’s outdoor paradise fits in. A circular moon gate introduces dwellers to the relaxed, serpentine passages that replaced areas of the yard Monica once called wasted space.

But Centerville Landscaping took that idea even further, install-ing a curved seating wall. It not only showcases various plants and flowers, it allows for more seating during large gatherings.

While many newer houses feature a variety of intimate rooms and table settings, Teske’s group applied the same idea to the Frys’ back yard. By installing several patio spaces, combined with enticing walkways and alcoves, the Caribbean-inspired space can hold a huge group without guests bumping elbows.

In fact, after the project was completed, Bob and Monica hosted an open house for family, friends, neighbors and the con-tracting team—a total of about 85 people. “There were about 85 people and it didn’t even feel crowded,” says Teske, adding that one patio doubled as a dance floor for the party.

Enjoying happy hoursTeske and Ludwig also made sure to take Bob and Monica’s indi-vidual interests into consideration when they designed the space. When she was about ten years old, Monica—also a registered nurse—learned to plant potato eyes, a Native American tradi-tion. That sparked a life-long love of gardening. After completing coursework through the Ohio State University Extension, she

earned a Master Gardener designation. To fulfill her passion, Centerville Landscaping extended what Monica refers to as her secret garden and created a discreet pathway through the grass to discover it.

As for Bob, you’ll often find him tending bar at Bob’s Tiki Bar. The custom bar fronts a storage shed and took on a life of its own during the construction process. In addition to including a granite countertop, hidden sink and refrigerator, the bar boasts miniature tiki faces, novelty pepper lights, a paddle fan and a host of other unique Caribbean-themed accessories. “It’s playful, but it’s still a space where you feel you can relax,” Teske says, who commends Custom Outdoor Structures for constructing the bar.

“They also presented Bob with his custom bar sign.”Monica says Bob is in seventh heaven. Not only can he invite friends and family to

join him on a Caribbean vacation, he enjoys it all from behind a custom bar named in his honor.

If it sounds like a complicated project, it was. The outdoor renovations required a zoning order and the complete rerouting of a gas line, now hidden under an imitation rock in a garden area. A few plants and trees were also moved to new homes.

Monica said the finished area didn’t need much decor. A collection of pots filled with hydrangeas and tropical hibiscus plants in a variety of colors did the trick. She also utilized palms, grasses, hostas and other plant material.

Monica says friends tell them their back yard is a place where they forget all their problems. “That’s the best compliment to receive.”

of the ramekins. Cover loosely with alumi-num foil and bake until custard is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Chill for 2 to 3 hours.

Cut bread into 1¾-inch thick slices. Using a serrated knife, cut a deep pocket on the side of each slice but do not cut all the way through. Fill each pocket with as much creme brulee as possible; typically about 1½ to 2 tablespoons.

In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, vanilla, and half and half. Place filled bread pieces in the egg mixture and let stand until the bread is saturated, turn-ing bread to coat all sides.

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet or griddle for each serving. Add bread and cook until toast is golden brown on all sides and filling is hot. Sprinkle sugar lightly on top of hot bread and use a kitchen torch to caramelize sugar. Serve immediately with a side of pure maple syrup. Serving size is 2 to 3 pieces. Yields 10 to 15 servings.

Family traditions are kept alive in this Centerville kitchen

By Christina Kleiner

Photos by Robin Victor Goetz/RVGP Inc.

Memories and traditions are very powerful entities. They make

you take stock in the things that are important in life. You

aim to keep family traditions alive and your house tends

to fill up with memories that bring you joy and make you

reflect on the life you have created for yourself and for

your family. For Raj and Benu Kulkarni, those memories

and traditions are what ultimately led them to stay in their

Centerville home. “We knew we could start creating new

memories in a new house, but we couldn’t let go of every-

thing we’ve experienced here,” Benu says.

When the couple moved into their new home in 1997, their oldest daughter, Nina, was just about one year old. “This was our first house, we had a mattress that we placed on the living room floor and not much else,” Benu recalls. “I remember thinking, ‘This house is so big, how are we ever going to fill it?’”

Thirteen years later, the family of three has grown to a family of five, with 12-year-old Esha and 10-year-old Trisha. Needless to say, the house is full.

Meeting the family’s needsOver the years, the house has met the family’s needs. But, a few years ago, Benu and Raj realized they needed to look toward the future. The girls were getting older and the family needed more space. Rather than move, the couple decided a renovation would provide the space they needed, as well as modernize the overall look of the house. A deck off the back of the house was removed and the house was bumped out about ten feet, leading to a new sitting room and more space for the living room and kitchen. It was during this time the Kulkarnis took a long, hard look at the kitchen. “It was a basic builder’s grade kitchen with white cabinets and Formica countertops,” says Benu. “We put up with it for many years, but it was never our style.”

Their style is more contemporary and Benu says it was impor-tant to create a kitchen that was both functional and stylish. They enlisted the help of Lisa Crouch, owner of Dayton-based interior design firm iDesign. Crouch drew on her love for the outdoors when combining the aesthetic details in the kitchen. “I love to hike, I’m outside as much as I can be,” she says. “Since their house looks out over a wooded area and they put in a huge wall of windows, I thought bringing in natural elements would make the interior warm and timeless.”

To start with, Crouch suggested replacing the old white cabinets with rich cherry. The new cabinetry features a chestnut stain, which brings out the brown hues in the island’s granite countertop. The island was something Benu requested from the very beginning. “I’ve always wanted one, it’s a great place for the kids to gather,” she says. “They can be in the kitchen, but not right on top of me while I cook.”

To offset the island from the rest of the space, Crouch topped the perimeter counters with black granite. Undercabinet lighting draws attention to the glistening multi-colored glass tile backsplash. “It is so pretty, almost like jewelry for the kitchen,” Benu says.

Crouch brought the same stone she used for the living room fireplace surround, into the kitchen. “The kitchen is directly connected to the living room,” she says. “We wanted to tie the two spaces together and create a dominant focal point in the kitchen.”

LEFT: The stone-encased cabinet serves as the focal point of the kitchen.

Crouch also installed a cabinet between the kitchen and living room to add some separa-tion between the two spaces. Glass-front cabinet doors hang from the ceiling, while the cabinet below offers extra counter and storage space. Two columns covered in black granite tile tie the two pieces together. “You don’t feel closed in because you can walk around each side, but the piece does designate where the kitchen begins and ends,” Benu explains.

A family legacyOne thing the family takes pride in enjoying together is food. You’ll often find Benu at the stove, cooking up her favorite Indian dish, or the girls, gathered around the island, whipping up a delicious treat for dessert. Their love of cooking shows in the overall kitchen design. Everything has its own designated place. A small countertop next to the range is the perfect spot for Benu to prepare dinner. The range, which is out of the way, yet conveniently located near the pantry, a second refrigerator, and the sink, allows her to cook large meals, but still be a part of other activities going on in the house. In keeping with an Indian tradition, the Kulkarnis asked that their range face east. “In India, before cooking in the early morning hours, the women would offer

their prayers to the sun,” Raj explains. “They would start cooking as the sun started to rise. I’m sure this was also a safety issue, but it’s a nice tradition my parents have followed and we wanted to keep that tradition going in our family.”

Benu says everyday life is much easier since the remodel, and even more enjoyable. “With three young children, you always feel like you are cooking,” she says. “Now, it doesn’t feel like a chore, the kitchen is more comfortable, and I feel like everyone is happy.”

waterA house with potentialIt’s a good thing some homeowners have vision. Otherwise this house in Kettering would still be sitting empty among weeds, a rotted stockade fence, overgrown brush, railroad steps, an unused pool and a whiskey barrel hot tub.

Dwight Goodin, BSLA, a landscape designer with Paver Planet, admits the area took him aback. “There was so much shade it was impossible to grow grass. It was an abandoned eyesore of gravel and rock,” he recalls. “It was a mess. You couldn’t even see the yard from the perimeter of the property.”

The first time the homeowner saw the three-lot property, he was less than enthused about the landscape. “The sprinkler sys-tem sat off the ground. There were poles sticking up in the air. It was all honeysuckle and trees,” he explains.

But the house is what the homeowners wanted: “A true modern home,” and they say it was tough to find. Goodin says a property like this one represents both an exciting and daunting opportu-nity: a complete blank canvas, but also an amazing amount of work. Fortunately the homeowners know what they like and what they don’t. “This homeowner has an exceptional understanding of detail and style, and is a huge fan of contemporary architec-ture,” he adds.

An idea takes shapeGoodin and his team first set out to raze the landscape, which sits on a glacial till. The task required 18 trips by a tandem-axle dump truck. “Fifty or more trees were taken out,” says the homeowner,

possesses a magical ability to uplift spirits. Its soothing qualities can cleanse the

soul, wash away anxieties, and create an all-around tranquil atmosphere. From the moment

you enter this contemporary paradise and hear the quiet rustling of the trees and the gurgling of

the water as it flows from the fountain, you are overcome with a calming sense of tranquility.

admitting the first time he and his wife saw the empty lot, shock set in. “We didn’t realize how large a lot it was until they removed the trees. That was difficult.”

The homeowners had moved around a lot, finally getting their chance to put down roots in a suburban home. One thing they desired was a lawn. To accommodate the request, a crew installed 15,000 square feet of sod in the front yard alone as well as around the back patio.

One positive characteristic original to the property was a sunken patio off the kitchen and family room. Goodin’s team installed basalt stone pavers from Turkey then created a 4-foot vignette Japanese garden as an accent. Straight-lined planters and a raised fountain maintain privacy but still allow visitors to feel part of the landscape.

The basalt pavers have no joints, offer neutral color and clean lines consistent with the architecture of the house. “There’s a complete ninety-degree corner on the edge. They butt right up against each other,” Goodin says.

A purpose for everythingIf not properly executed, contemporary styling can appear stark and uninviting. Along with the pavers, the three-stream fountain installed on the patio features a wood surface of board and bat-ten redwood, a Frank Lloyd Wright-style addition. The wood base blends in with the overall design, but also sets off the fountain as the centerpiece of the patio.

“Even though there are such strong lines and intersecting angles, lawn spaces around the pavers soften the appearance,”

Goodin says, adding that the rectangular reflecting pool on the top level creates an additional soothing touch.

Goodin also mentions certain landscape choices were chosen as a way to pull the contemporary design of the exterior into the landscape, “so the lines of the house are mirrored into the ground like a reflecting pool.”

A natural stone wall adds depth to the back yard. Plans call for more sod to be installed above the wall.

Creating curb appealPlans to redo the front of the house and driveway also required a major overhaul. The driveway was straightened and a dip was removed. The surrounding landscape was lifted and re-graded. Raised planting beds and a fountain greet the family and guests as they pull up to the garage.

The homeowners now have a great view from the front of their home and an enlarged driveway with room to maneuver and hold extra cars. “I didn’t realize what a huge task it would be,” says the homeowner.

But he and his wife also revel in the result on a daily basis, adding the beauty of the finished project is the way it serves their favorite style, and allows the house to nestle in natural beauty. “We had a difficult time finding a landscaper who could do a true modern home,” says the homeowner. “Dwight had a different eye. He always had a vision, and it turned out to be exactly what he drew.”

Most of us will take any excuse we can to get out of the office for a

while—especially this time of year. So when management okayed an

editors’ road trip to the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago

this spring, we hopped in the car faster than you can say “deep dish

pizza.” F We checked out all of the nearly 700 exhibits which fea-

tured thousands of dynamic products from the kitchen and bath indus-

try’s top designers and retailers. Each editor picked their favorites.

Color WashChicago is famous for the elevated train system known as the “L,” which consists of eight color-coded lines including blue, green, red, orange, purple, pink, yellow and brown. These colorful combinations also caught my eye at the show, where everything from countertops to bathtubs were getting a taste of the rainbow. High Gloss Solid Surface Parapan Doors cer-tainly add a pop of color to the kitchen, while an interesting pink MAAX bathtub combines smooth lines and comfortable attached seating that would be the pièce de résistance in any woman’s master bath retreat. With color names like “Enjoy,” “Dream,” “Fun,” “Cool,” and “Vital,” Silestone by Cosentino’s new countertop series, “Life!” will allow you to create the perfect mood for your kitchen. Also keep your eye on chromotherapy, as it’s sure to be a trend on the rise!

Artistic ExpressionI love it when manufacturers put extra thought into a particular design. Kitchen and bathroom products need to be func-tional, but who says they can’t have a spec-tacular design to boot? “Thinking outside the box” fits perfectly when describing the Recess Shell hardware from Turnstyle Designs. Talk about jewelry for your cabi-nets. Also, the intriguing glass counter-tops from Think Glass are reminiscent of paint splashed on a blank canvas—no two are alike. And I love the iridescent effect of the metallic Fucina tile from Hastings Tile and Bath, it can create a dramatic state-ment in any bathroom. Manufacturers are showing their artistic side, don’t be afraid to show yours!

Squared OffMaybe it’s because I am in the ballpark of being two decades older than my two traveling companions and perhaps feel-ing a bit “square” myself, but for some reason square shapes caught my eye at the show this year. And, maybe I need a bit of R&R because all three products I selected belong in the master bath, or as these spaces were referred to at the show—the spa-like retreat. I liked the sophisticated lines of Kohler’s Escale Dual Flush Toilet. It just adds a bit of dignity to the function and saves water with its eco-friendly dual flush feature. I love the look and idea of soaking in the square tub we happened upon at a party sponsored by Hastings Tile and Bath, or standing in a shower and watching a morning show on my squarish MBQ Waterproof television. It all sounds like good, clean fun to me!

KNAPKE CABINETS GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH

There’s an old adage that says, ‘If you want a job done, ask a busy person,’ and these days, there aren’t many people who are busier than Bernie Knapke and his Knapke Cabinets team. “We’re having a great year,” says Knapke. “Everyone is starting to feel more confident about the economy and many of our customers have decided to go forward with kitchen and bathroom projects that have been on hold for the past couple of years.” But Bernie isn’t resting on his laurels. “The cornerstone of our business is referrals so we know our reputation is on the line every day. That really keeps us on our toes!”

“We’re also finding that people are much more savvy about good design, thanks to programs like HGTV’s ‘Bang For Your Buck.’ Now, everyone knows that a quality job gives a high return on investment regardless of whether you’re selling, staying put or building new. That’s good news for us and good news for the local economy.”

Any final thoughts, Mr. Knapke?

“I just want to take this opportunity to thank our customers for entrusting us with their projects and also the entire Knapke team: our designers, the Knapke installation crew, the custom shop and the support staff for all their hard work and dedication.”

“And to all our future customers, we look forward to welcoming you soon to one of our three locations and having the opportunity to serve your remodeling and cabinetry needs.”

Show up most any Saturday morning at any antique mall or outdoor flea market and chances are likely you’ll find yourself in the company of old men in hats, middle-aged girlfriends in groups of three, and young couples with children in wagons, all leisurely wandering about the place as though they aren’t quite sure why they’re there.

But appearances can be deceiving. Every one of those people knows exactly what they are doing. They are there looking for the “find.” They usually aren’t in any hurry and sometimes they don’t know what the find is until they find it, but once they set their sight on it, they know it belongs with them.

The prize is something different for each of them—it might be a few pieces of railroad china for one, an art deco brooch for another. Shoppers with a little more cash in their pockets may be thrilled to discover the early 19th century walnut corner cupboard, a mid-century modern Eames lounge chair, or a study from the sketchbook of a famous artist. Even the toddler in the wagon is delighted to dis-cover the ice cream sold by the vendor in the far corner.

While these weekend shoppers can often be passionate about their purchases, it’s the thrill of the hunt that usually lures them out and keeps them coming back. It’s the conversations they start by pick-ing up a favorite childhood toy or Aunt Clara’s stainless steel penguin ice bucket; the laughs they get at seeing prom dresses from the sixties; and the unhurried pace they set while strolling through the ven-dor stalls that makes the sum of the day much bigger than the purchased parts.

“Decorating with thrift home furnish-ings is an exercise in shopping with an open mind and bringing the past fast-forward into the present,” says Stan Williams, author of The Find: The Housing Works Book of Decorating with Thrift Shop Treasures, Flea Market Objects, and Vintage Details.

Williams has been searching for the per-fect find since the early 70s when he would spend his Thursday mornings during the summer tagging along with his mother and aunt while they scoured garage sales as “early birds” ready to snatch up a good deal at 7 a.m. Today, after hundreds of purchases, well over 30 years, and a move

to New York City, Williams still relishes the search.

“It’s not so much that I had the desire to own each and every one of these items,” he says. “In fact, I wasn’t always attracted to all I stumbled upon. But it was the thrill of touching and experiencing these used goods that never failed to evoke warm memories or charge my imagination.”

In his book, Williams, who calls himself “The Elegant Thrifter,” shares tips and photos showing how talented people, many of them inte-rior designers, use their finds to create stunning spaces that stand out.

Before You GoHave the tools ready to help you organize the search for a find of your own:❚ A good tape measure. Invest in one that measures 8 to10 feet,

stretches out and closes with ease, and is convenient to carry.

❚ A camera. A digital photograph, even if on your mobile phone, allows you the luxury of sending off the image to an expert, a friend, or even your own decorator for a bit of advice before you make the purchase.

❚ Dry dust wipes, such as a Swiffer, which just might remove years of grime to reveal a furniture treasure.

❚ A design notebook. Fill it with budgets, wish lists, photos of design inspiration, essential measurements, fabric swatches and important phone numbers for shipping and delivery.

If you are new to the search, the author also shares some helpful tips for getting started. Or if you are ready to dig in and get your hands dirty, Williams shares some wood refinishing basics. There are also great tips on mixing china patterns for a sensational table setting; using paint to add zip to an old piece of furniture; experimenting with color; and learning when to say no to a bargain or yes to something you love even if you don’t know where you can use it.

You see, even seasoned shoppers occasionally let the bargain lure them down the wrong purchase path, but those passionate about the search will always find room in their home—or maybe even their friend’s home—for a great find.
