No forest garden would be complete without its share of edible and medicinal weeds. Common Mallow, or Malva neglecta is one of my favorites. Even its Latin name 'neglata' speaks to its ability to be neglected and thrive. The leaves are mild, slightly mucilaginous and form a great foundational green in a salad. It is highly nutritious and 'nutritionally dense'. A weed is simply a plant that grows where we don't want it to, by developing a different relationship to this delightful and tenacious plant it becomes a desired resident in the forest garden.

In this NYC apartment even a partial remodel of the bathroom brought terrific results. As a budget saving move, we left the original fixtures and stone tile in place, but we replaced the original uninspired vanity with one of our signature custom space saving vanities featuring a recessed toilet paper holder and extra pull down cabinet over the toilet. A Robern medicine cabinet with much more storage was substituted for the original, as were additional updated electrical outlets, and the new glass enclosure for the tub / shower made a big, bright and beautiful change.

OMG blue, gray and orange is for me! Vibrant color scheme, New Orleans charm and improved functionality was the perfect recipe for George and Linda’s colorful character kitchen remodel. Overall the kitchen had a good layout and only needed a few tweaks. What it didn’t have was clear sight lines, good lighting, adequate food storage and AJM style! For months we worked together to devise the perfect plan to bring the couple’s vision to reality. The brick bookcase and ceiling pot rack was removed to provide more counter space and improve visibility; an under-utilized bedroom closet was converted to a Jack and Jill pantry giving them food storage galore; properly spaced recess and pendant lighting provide much needed ambiance for cooking and gatherings; the use of reclaimed wood and iron shelf brackets mixes the old with the new; and to top it all off perfectly planned blue cabinetry paired with light gray and orange walls, solid white quartz counter tops, handmade blue cross and fire tiles and copper hardware set the tone for a kitchen that that is colorful, full of character, timeless and has a place for everything…even George’s guitars!

It would seem that opposites do attract and this two-tone kitchen remodel bears testament to that truth. Bria Cabinetry by Dura Supreme, with its sleek, full-access (frameless) construction, is the ideal canvas for a conspicuously traditional cabinet door style. Even the wood species selected is an intriguing blend of classic maple wood with charmingly, rustic, gray stained knotty alder wood. Traditional glass door cabinets are accented with an industrial wire glass while tumbled tile warms the backsplash. A special, woven copper “frieze” was created by the designer to provide an interesting textural contrast for the angular Dura Supreme wood hood. Dura Supreme’s frameless/full-access cabinetry is well suited for an entire spectrum of design themes, from contemporary loft to country traditional.

With this configuration they even have more counter space for baking and prepping.---In the kitchen and the living room you can admire some of Mr. Horback artwork. http://www.evanclaytonhorback.com/

Scott and Deneen Knisely built their handcrafted log home in Lock Haven Pennsylvania with hope to preserve a piece of their community’s history. In 2002, the Kniselys lived near a 20-acre property that included the Rocky Point Lodge, a locally known log house dating back more than 70 years. The building was serving as a restaurant at the time, but had taken on many roles over the years—first, and most notably, as a Boy Scout camp. When Scott heard a rumor that the property might be going on the market, he had a word with the owner, expressing his interest in buying it. Six weeks later, the acreage was his. “We loved the property and the building,” says Deneen, “but it was too damaged to be saved.” So they got to work researching companies to build the new home that would replace the old one. Since so many local people have fond childhood memories of time spent at the lodge, the Kniselys decided that the new structure should resemble the old one as closely as possible, so they looked for a design that would use the same footprint as the original. After a quick trip to Virginia to look at an existing house, they chose a modified version of the “Robinson,” a 3,750-square-foot plan by Hearthstone Inc. “When the house was being built, I researched things such as period molding depth, wainscoting height and the look of the floors,” says Deneen. Hearthstone even had the logs sandblasted to give them a weathered look. “We just love the rustic, warm feeling of a log home,” Deneen adds. “No other home compares.” The home is made from large-diameter eastern white pine in a profile from the Bob Timberlake series. “The log is sawn on two sides, then hand-hewn to a 6-inch thickness with varying heights,” says Ernie. To top off the home’s vintage look, Pat Woody of Lynchburg, Virginia, got to work on the chinking. Pat specializes in period reproductions and historical homes. The variations in the chinking are the perfect finishing touch to bring home the 19th-century flavor the Kniselys desired.
