HELLO
met a woman last summer whose golden retriever was the 11th puppy in the
litter, so she named him “Leven.” As I try to get my head around having to learn
to type “2011” when my fingers still stumble over “2010” on the keyboard, I think
about his wagging tail and it makes me smile.
Also, because of the odd timing of magazine production, I’m writing this as
snow flurries blow past my window, and it feels as if half of the city has already
taken off for Thanksgiving. So I’m also thinking about gratitude—and gathering about a
warm fire with friends.
In October 2011, Seattle Homes & Lifestyles will turn 15—which is quite a milestone in publishing these days.
Of course we could never have made it this far without you, our loyal readers, who have followed us in print for so long.
Our online presence, SeattleHomesMag.com, which lets us bring you more stories, more photos and our archives.
Social media: Facebook and Twitter let us keep in touch with you on a much more interactive and immediate basis.
Our Design Dish blog, which is kept up to date by our entire team, but primarily SH&L Associate Editor Angela Cabotaje.
Two more Graphic Design USA awards, recognizing the talent of SH&L Art Director Shawn Williams, specifically for the design of our January/February 2010 issue and the SH&L staff business cards.
SH&L publisher Cathy Fitzer, who joined the team in June 2010 and whose enthusiasm and positive attitude inspire everyone on the staff.
All of the magazine’s friends, from advertisers to sources to writers and photographers who contribute to our pages.
My decision to have my home insulated last summer—thanks to our current cold spell I can tell it makes a difference.
Living in one of the most beautiful places in the country, where design professionals
embrace that, and create work as beautiful as that of Mother Nature.
And, because this is Seattle, I’m grateful for fresh ground coffee. Every day.
IN THIS ISSUE, we feature the winners of our annual Kitchen of the Year contest (pages
54–66). We got so many great entries for this year’s competition that we couldn’t choose
just one winner, so we decided to have two. One is a modern-meets-traditional remodel in
a historic Capitol Hill home (page 54) and the other is an eclectic contemporary kitchen—
also a remodel—in a Seward Park home (page 60). I love both projects for their interesting
details, great storage solutions and fearless use of color.
We also feature a Capitol Hill remodel (page 42) and a Bridle Trails garden (page 48).
Also between the covers: Market Editor Stacy Kendall reveals some great vintage—and
vintage-look—finds in Trend (page 24); Randy Altig shares his favorite cozy winter recipe
and we visit some local distillers in our At the Table stories (page 34); our Green Living
article (page 72) takes us inside another kitchen, this one a sustainable remodel in West
Seattle; and Right Now (page 96) is all about our favorite small kitchen appliances.
I may not remember to type the digits properly, but we’re definitely ready for 2011!

THE BEGINNING OF EACH NEW YEAR is an opportunity to hit the
refresh button on our lives and redefine our personal and professional
aspirations. We challenged 11 local interior designers to focus on their craft
and share with us their design resolutions for 2011. Here is a mix of ideas
that we hope will inspire you to start this year with a bang!
“I resolve to support more local businesses. Why order a piece of glass
from overseas when a local company can create the same or even high-
er-quality product? A local company stands behind the quality of their
workmanship and their products. A client is not just an address but a
person that deserves the best in both quality and service. So when we
can, let’s save a tree and fuel and support our own skilled craftsmen!”
Eileen Schoener Design, Inc., 1449 130th Ave. N.E., Bellevue, (425) 450-9055,
esddesign.com
“For 2011, I would like to focus more on environmentally responsible
design but more so in a holistic manner. Instead of simply selecting
greener materials for projects, I will focus on creating designs that are
not trendy but timeless and will remain fresh and have a lasting impact
aesthetically and environmentally.”

“At the top of my list for 2011 is to take a trip to Provence to go antiquing.
The south of France is an excellent resource for antiques and inspiration.
We would like to stay in Le Prince Noir, a remarkable, rustic bed-and-
breakfast, and visit the Picasso Museum. Closer to home, I have some ideas
for products that I’d like to use in design projects: glass pendant lights
designed by Caleb Siemon, hand-painted silk de Gournay wallpaper, Lee
Jofa Threads fabric, Valtekz-vinyl fabric in Moray Cadet Blue.”
Amely Wurmbrand Designs, (206) 542-0447, amelydesigns.com
“I want to get away from the drawing board and office and get out more
often for adventurous experiences that will inspire creativity! I also want to
organize my time better to be more efficient, which would probably mean
finally cleaning off my desk.”
Ardeo Design, Inc., 9480 N. E. Windsong Loop, Ste. 201, Bainbridge Island,
(206) 855-9027, ardeodesign.com
“[My goals are to] fully incorporate environmental stewardship in my busi-
ness practices and challenge myself to take responsibility for the impact
my design decisions have on our planet [by] using natural materials over
synthetic, buying local, reusing and recycling.”
Masins Fine Furnishings & Interior Design, Seattle and Bellevue locations,

“This year I would like to establish a design blog to celebrate the joy of
design and as a means for providing design inspiration for myself and oth-
ers. I have noticed over the past few years a rise in do-it-yourselfers, and I
would like to implement into my business a way to provide professional
design guidance to those individuals. People seem to want to do more
design projects themselves, but they lack the confidence to make design
decisions, [so] I feel that people could benefit from my over 30 years of
experience in the field.”
Viekman, 6626 S.W. Admiral Way, (206) 621-0081, viekman.com
“I plan on attending three home décor shows this year—Maison et Objet,
KBIS and Highpoint Market—to gather new trends and fabulous lines to
work with.”
Idée Chic Design, 826 102nd Ave. N.E., Ste. 400, Bellevue,
(425) 646-6483, eastsidedesigner.com
“For the new year, I want to encourage my clients to simplify: Living with
less is more. Simply start by surveying what you have and determine what
are keepers, and let go and donate other items. I also want to encourage
people to invest in art and to support the art community. You can build
a whole room around a piece of artwork. It reveals the homeowner’s
personality, and often a project is not truly finished until art objects have
been personally selected by the homeowner. Surrounding yourself with
something that makes you happy offers an immediate good feeling and
sense of gratification, which is especially important during these times.”
Van Biene Interiors, LLC, 2000 124th Ave. N.E., Ste. B-102, Bellevue,
(425) 646-9009, hvbinteriors.com
“Recessions are important. Slowing down and taking time to focus on
marketing, office organization and past clients who have small items that
need to be completed are great ways to nurture the long-term needs of
a design business. I’ve done all of these things over the last two years and
am in a great position to carry a full project load in 2011. It is time to get
busy! I also want to use more white. This may be hard to believe, but in my
20-plus years as a designer I’ve never been a big fan of white. I built my
career perfecting color and offsetting it with rich creamy whites. In 2008,
a client insisted her master suite be true white (we actually did Benjamin
Moore Cloud White) and it looks so fantastic. I’m a convert, and I look
forward to working with white in 2011.”
Amy Baker Interior Design, Inc., 8563 39th Ave. S.W., (206) 283-1969,
amybakerdesign.com
“I would like to rely more on my sketchbook to capture things that inspire
me—which will force me to think more graphically. Digital cameras have
made it too easy to snap pictures. Instead, I want to experience photo
opportunities differently and will help solidly commit inspiring designs to
memory. I also want to try to incorporate more fresh flowers into my life.
They instantly brighten my home during the winter months.”
Gregory Carmichael Interior Design, 5953 California Ave. S.W., Ste. 100,
(206) 623-2002, gcid.com
“I’m looking forward to using Osborne & Little [Maharani] fabric for a punch
of color and pattern in a future project.”

SEATTLE STAIR & DESIGN OWNER SHAWN CHRISTMAN, SHOWN HERE IN HIS SODO SHOP, STILL PRACTICES WOOD TURNING, A SKILL HE LEARNED MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO.
STEP BY STEP
SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM JAN. & FEB. 2011
WRITTEN BY RACHEL GALLAHER PORTRAIT BY HANK DREW
ll artists have a moment when
they realize they want to turn
their passion into a career. For
Shawn Christman, owner of Seattle
Stair & Design, a company that
specializes in creating custom stair-
cases, that moment came 33
years ago at age 26 as he traveled through New
England and French Canada. “I ended up in a
commercial building that had the most cur-
vaceous, sensual walnut handrail,” Christman
recalls. He realized then that he didn’t have the
expertise to build that handrail, but he knew he
wanted to learn how.
Back in Seattle, Christman had already served
as an apprentice for six years at a local wood-
milling shop, but it was the trip back east that
gave him the motivation to establish his own
business. “I started the company back in 1978
with not much more than a tape measure, a tool
belt, a drill and a miter saw in the trunk of my car.”
More than 30 years later, Seattle Stair & Design
has expanded in both size and reputation.
Most of the work is still done by hand using the
centuries-old shop-built system (stair components
are crafted in-shop then assembled on-site),
but the company now has a 10-person staff , a
showroom and a workshop in Sodo.
Seattle Stair & Design also has amassed an
impressive portfolio of projects, including the
steel-and-glass stairs at Barneys New York’s
Seattle location and the sleek mahogany hand-
rails in the Bellevue Hyatt. The company also
designs staircases in various styles for private
residences around the country. Christman recalls
an elliptical staircase he crafted for a Denny-
Blaine residence. “[It] was meant to look as
though it was from a French château and had
been standing for 300 years,” he says. “It was
white oak and had hand-forged iron balustrades
… and a wonderful little Juliet balcony off one
of the bedrooms.”
For Christman, working with his clients is the
most rewarding part of the job. “I think [this work]
is a beautifully balanced mix of geometry, archi-
tecture and sculpture,” he says. “A good staircase
is always inside the front door, so it’s an element
of fi rst impression. It’s the fi rst thing you see
when you come into a house and the last impres-
sion you get when you walk out the door.”

RANDY ALTIG SHARES HIS FAVORITE WINTER COMFORTFOOD RECIPE: LOBSTER POT PIE
SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM JAN. & FEB. 2011
lmost every fall and winter when I was growing up, my grand-
parents would take me to the Oregon coast for our annual week-
end adventure. During the drive through golden maples and
blue spruce, I anticipated our arrival in the quaint seaside town
of Cannon Beach. Our first stop would be Bob’s Bait and Tackle,
where we would load up the car with fishing poles, crab pots and
lobster traps. Our next stop was our secret fishing spot nestled
between layers of driftwood and rocks, just below the dramatic seaside cliffs.
After several hours of fishing and a few attempts to land a big catch, we’d pack it
up and head over to Katie’s Cajun Creole and Fish House. Inside a turn-of-the-century
log home overlooking the bay, Katie’s featured pine tables and a large river-rock-and-
beach-stone fireplace. Warming our hands by the fire, I’d always order the “famous
Cajun lobster pot pie,” described on the menu as “Comfort for the Soul.”
Even as time has passed, I have never forgotten those days at the coast. Although
many things have changed (and both Bob’s and Katie’s are no longer in business),
I can bring those fond memories to life by making my own lobster pot pies and sharing
them with family and friends. That brings comfort to my soul.

COAST AS A CHILD. left and below: ITS INGREDIENTS
INCLUDE FRESH VEGETABLES, LOBSTER, CAJUN

RANDY’S LOBSTER POT PIEPREPARATION TIME: 30 MINUTES
COOKING TIME: 1 HOUR
SERVES 6 USE SIX 10OUNCE RAMEKINS TO MAKE PERSONAL POT PIES
1: Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, shallots, celery and carrots; cook five minutes. Stir in flour; cook one minute. Add potatoes, stock, lemon zest and seasonings; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Remove from heat.
2: Melt remaining ½ cup butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Cook three or four minutes, stirring constantly, until butter is golden brown. Stir browned butter, frozen peas and lobster into vegetable mixture.
3: Roll out pie crusts on a wooden cutting board. Invert the 10-ounce ramekins onto the pie crusts and cut around them with a sharp knife to make the pastry tops. Spoon lobster mixture evenly into ramekins. Brush edges of pie crust circles with egg; place one circle, egg side down, over the lobster mixture in each ramekin, pressing down to seal edges. Pinch each rim to secure the dough and create a finished edge. Brush tops with egg, and cut two slits in each crust to vent. Place on a foil- or parchment-lined baking sheet.
4: Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot from the oven and enjoy!

SOFT TAIL SPIRITSWhat began as a trip to Italy for
Dennis Robertson sparked an interest
in grappa, an Italian-heritage
brandy made from pressed wine
grapes. A business partnership led
to hiring distillers and sales em-
ployees, and in 2008 Robertson’s
company, Soft Tail Spirits, became
western Washington’s first licensed
craft distillery. Now, while producing
grappa, Soft Tail Spirits also develops
vodkas from Washington state
apples. “The Washington apple is
an iconic item for our state, but our
vodka is also gluten-free and very
clean, with just a hint of sweetness
at the finish,” Robertson says. Soft
Tail Vodka has since received recog-
nition for its smooth taste, winning
a bronze medal in the 2010 San
Francisco World Spirits competition.

BAINBRIDGE ORGANIC DISTILLERSKeith Barnes and his son Patrick
were passionate about great
whiskey and had always wanted to
start their own business, so when
the state began licensing craft
distilleries, they did just that,
launching Bainbridge Organic
Distillers in 2009. Bainbridge
Organic Distillers makes its whiskey,
vodka and gin in small batches in
order to have more control over
the quality of the end product. “We
use no computerized equipment,”
Barnes explains. The distillery also
takes pride in using only organic
ingredients. “The grain for our
vodka comes from a farm in Walla
Walla County, and our whiskey
grain comes from the Dungeness
Estuary region,” Barnes says.

WOODINVILLE WHISKEY CO.Close friends Orlin Sorensen and
Brett Carlile started their distillery
with the help of a retired Maker’s
Mark distiller, who mentored them
in creating their own bourbon
whiskey. Now Woodinville Whiskey
Co. is a 100 percent U.S. Department
of Agriculture–certified organic
distillery, and Sorensen and Carlile
keep the production process within
Woodinville (90 percent of the
grain they use is grown in Wash-
ington). Woodinville Whiskey Co.
uses traditional 53-gallon barrels as
well as technologically advanced
handcrafted equipment to create
a whiskey that doesn’t need a
barrel-aging cycle. “We use micro-
barrel aging, and the result is a very
smooth, batch-consistent, flavorful
product compared even to a well-
aged whiskey,” Sorensen says.

SOUND SPIRITSBoeing engineer Steven Stone, who
had an interest in cocktail culture,
created Sound Spirits with the
financial backing and support of
close friends and family. “I saw a
movement sweeping other parts of
the country in the microdistillery
business and wanted to be a part
of it,” Stone says. With inspiration
from the 1800s distillery era, Stone’s
goal was to bring back spirits that
are not as well-known today. Ebb +
Flow Vodka is a single-malt barley
vodka made with 100 percent
Washington barley. “We don’t filter
our vodka, and in doing so we
allow a touch of the natural malt
flavor and sweetness to come
through,” Stone explains.

he home on the corner lot of this Capitol
Hill street is stately and refined—everything
you might expect from a 1906 Victorian. Yet
the leaded-glass windows, picturesque turrets
and charming front porch suggest little about the
playful, relaxed vibe inside.
Homeowners Randy and Sage had outgrown
their previous house in the Green Lake area and were
searching for one that would fit the needs of their two young
children. After searching for two months, they discovered
the one on Capitol Hill, but it wasn’t love at first sight.
While the home had the space they wanted and was
big on character, it also had a few less-than-desirable
features that made Randy and Sage hesitate. An over-
grown hedge outside seemed standoffish and obscured
most of the windows on the first floor, giving the main
living area the feel of a dimly lit basement. The home’s
closed-off floor plan lost points for lacking functionality,
and the décor was as Victorian as could be with lace, heavy
drapes and dark, gothic wallpaper.
“We were nervous about it,” Sage recalls. “We were wonder-
ing if we could make it our own or if it would always be fussy
and Victorian.”
Fortunately, Randy and Sage had a good friend who
could help: architect Matt Hutchins, principal of CAST
architecture. Hutchins had helped them remodel their
previous home, and they knew that if anyone could make
this house work for them, it was him.
“I went out there and took a look at it and gave them an
idea of what would be involved and what the real opportu-
nities and possibilities were,” Hutchins says. “It was obviously
a classic diamond in the rough.”
With that reassurance, Sage and Randy went ahead
and purchased the house and contacted interior designer

Lauren Ferraro of Gregory Carmichael Interior Design
and contractor Dave Arnold of Mt. Si Construction to
round out their dream-home team.
“The goal of the design from early on was to update
it and suit the modern sensibilities and the needs of
a young family,” Ferraro explains. “We also wanted to
preserve the character of the house but not have it be
stodgy and seem old-fashioned,” Hutchins adds.
With help from Avalon Northwest Landscape, they
uprooted the monstrous, 12-foot-tall hedge, which
wrapped from the front of the house around one side.
They also added a covered porch in back, perfect for
grilling outside even on rainy Seattle days. A white-
painted arbor and wrought-iron fence look much
more inviting than the hedge wall but still provide
some privacy in the side and back yards.
Then attention turned to reworking the cramped,
turn-of-the-century floor plan to better fit Randy and
Sage’s family-oriented lifestyle. A wall between the
kitchen and dining room was knocked down to create
an open living space that easily flows from one area to
the next. Randy and Sage both enjoy cooking, so Hutchins enlarged the
kitchen to triple its original size and added a set of French doors for easy
access to the porch out back.
Ferraro heeded the homeowners’ request for clutter-free, kid-friendly
décor. In the living room, the bay-window bench seat has pullout drawers
underneath for easy toy storage and white cushions covered in resilient
and washable outdoor fabric. A Lapchi floral area rug adds graphic
appeal and is also durable (“Whatever we’ve spilled has come up so far,”
Sage says). Even the paint was tested and chosen for its resiliency (Randy
and Sage’s son demonstrated this by drawing on the walls with red marker,
which came off after a bit of scrubbing).
The dining room and kitchen are equally livable. Ferraro found a lightly
scratched Gulassa dining table at a secondhand furniture store and
bought it on the spot. Randy and Sage opted not to refinish it so they
wouldn’t have to worry about adding extra dings or marks over the course
of daily life. Aqua leather on the dining chair seats is easy to wipe, and the
Love Letter pendant lamp above the table is youthful and customizable—
Randy and Sage hang their children’s artwork from it. In the kitchen, white
cabinets and dark counter tops keep the look clean and understated,
except for a show-stealing cherry-blossom mosaic backsplash.
“They both have their own great sense of style, but they also don’t take
anything too seriously,” Ferraro says of the homeowners. “They are so gutsy
and playful.”
The homeowners mixed modern and traditional elements without fear:
graphic pink wallpaper with wainscoting in the dining room, a glass-orb
Bocci light with a curved wood fireplace surround in the living room and a
faux bison head with stained glass in the entryway. In homage to the previous
incarnation of their home, Randy and Sage opted to leave the powder room
on the first floor—brass fixtures, floral wallpaper and all—untouched.
“We wanted to honor as many of those little things that the owner took
care in preserving,” Sage says. “The funny nooks, the little window seats just
make it a different place but add some character that is hard to come by
these days.”
Now, more than a century after it was first built, the Victorian on the corner
still has all the charm and character of its original form. For Randy and Sage,
it’s the perfect mix of modern and traditional, refined and relaxed, whimsical
and functional. Most of all, it’s the perfect home.

trong connections between a planned landscape and the
house it surrounds, and between the plan and the broader
landscape that surrounds it, make a design stand apart
from the norm. These connections move it from merely
suitable to a cohesive environment.
Such is the case at a property in the Bridle Trails neigh-
borhood of Bellevue. When the homeowners asked Jason
Breitling of Cambium Inc. for “more wild, less style” in the
design of their garden, the phrase became the theme that
guided the crafting of a landscape that lives as comfort-
ably with the family- and dog-friendly home as it does with the North-
west native woodlands of nearby Bridle Trails State Park.
Instead of starting with a blank canvas, the Cambium project manager
and designer began with a well-established 1.5-acre landscape that
had been planted by the previous homeowners. At the request of the
current homeowners, Breitling retained paths on the east side of the house,
including a Japanese-style bridge across a dry streambed, and moved
several large old rhododendrons and azaleas around the property, the
better to view their architectural multistemmed forms.
Also at the homeowners’ request, he dismantled a concrete retaining
wall that had been in full view from the house, across the auto court.
Instead of the wall, there is now a planted slope and steps that lead to the
shared path that provides the neighborhood, which has no sidewalks,
access to the state park.
The home, designed by architect Christopher Keyser and built by
Anderson Construction Group, is an extensive remodel of the original
1970s house. Keyser’s design met the homeowners’ wishes for a
connection between the garage and house and their desire to bring a
bit of nature indoors. They can hear the rain on the roof in the master
bedroom, and large windows give visual access to the garden even on
wet winter days.
“Architects want to incorporate the outside into the house, and we
want to incorporate the inside into the outdoors,” Breitling says of the
finished landscape. The home’s cut-slate floor in the main living area

extends onto a large terrace on the north side of the house, but partway
across the terrace the straight-edged pieces of slate evolve into irregular
flagstone, signaling a move from design to nature.
Breitling’s changes to the landscape continue to blur the lines between
house and garden. Closer to the house the landscape is more designed
and set in vignettes, but gradually it gives way to the more representative
Northwest scene of conifers and understory shrubs. The garden “acts as a
bridge between the house and the greater landscape,” Breitling says.
With 482-acre Bridle Trails State Park nearby and native conifers through-
out the homeowners’ property, Breitling kept his plant palette mostly
restricted to Northwest natives and plants with an affinity to the North-
west in form and effect. The shady undergrowth suits oakleaf hydrangea
(Hydrangea quercifolia) as well as large drifts of variegated Japanese forest
grass (Hakonechloa macra ‘Aureola’); its bright yellow foliage “brings light
down to the ground plane,” Breitling explains.
“It’s really a four-season garden,” the homeowner says. The quiet winter
garden is preceded by fall color from Japanese maples and followed by
a profusion of spring flowers from thousands of bulbs; summer glory
appears in swaths of daisies and bountiful containers.
Throughout the year, standing sentinel at the top of the drive is a carv-
ing of Notus, the Greek god of the south wind. Northwest woodcarver
Layton Kiblinger created the piece from a dead cedar tree. Carved in place
and retaining his own roots for stability, Notus had stood at the top of the
concrete-block retaining wall; when the wall was dismantled, Notus was
moved south so that he could be seen on the approach up the drive. Now
well grounded in a concrete base, Notus continues to keep watch and
welcome visitors.
The homeowners make good use of the large terraces, wood deck and
open traffic pattern created by the merging of inside and out. Even the
dogs get their own traffic pattern: A dog door from the kennel gives wire-
haired pointer Grover and flat-coat retriever Bazzle access to their own
room built into the garage space.
Such large and small elements help to create a landscape that can
be enjoyed with guests or privately. The upstairs balcony and terraces
provide views of the garden as it blends into the property’s natural wood-
lands. A more private view is that of a tile mosaic, created by local artist
Liz Cross and installed on the inside of a screen wall, visible only from the
master bath.
The success of the design shows in its ability to meet the needs of the
homeowners: From entertaining spaces to native forest, their landscape
retains the best of the old garden’s design and plants, and it sits comfort-
ably in the greater Northwest landscape.

ho says you can’t teach an old house new tricks? David
and Dana fell in love with a brick Georgian-style house in
the Capitol Hill neighborhood eight years ago, but they
knew it would require some work, including a whole
kitchen remodel. So they gave their historic home some
contemporary updates—while respecting its traditional qualities.
The kitchen had been halfheartedly redone by previous owners over the
years, but the layout was inefficient and the room had some odd quirks.
The floor tiles lifted up sometimes, and the kitchen was relatively isolated—
and didn’t get any heat—from the rest of the house. “It had its own charm,
but it was not a well-functioning kitchen,” Dana recalls.
“Our style is pretty eclectic,” David says. “We fell in love with the house
because of its scale and strong lines, but we wanted to update it while still
respecting the house’s age.”
With two wishes in mind—better function and a dynamic style—the
homeowners called on Seattle’s Bosworth Hoedemaker, LLC, to design
their new kitchen. Working with architect Steve Hoedemaker and asso-
ciate Heather Comeau Cromwell, they hoped to strike a perfect balance
between their modern-eclectic sensibilities and the classical lines of the
home’s Georgian architecture.
“Basically, David and Dana found themselves to be modernists living in
an old house, and we wondered how the kitchen could be respectful of
both things,” Hoedemaker says.
Stylistically, the new kitchen has elements both modern and historic.
Although stainless-steel counter tops and drawers are widely used in
contemporary or commercial kitchens, the homeowners actually brought
them in as a nod to the past. “My grandmother had stainless-steel counter
tops in her kitchen, and we really loved that,” David says. Contrasting—and
complementing—the stainless steel is lightly veined white marble atop
the center island, which also features a removable wooden cutting board
made from a piece of David and Dana’s old kitchen table.
Another way the team integrated traditional elements was by keeping
the design of the windows consistent with the home’s original Georgian style
and replicating the crown and base molding found throughout the house.
Open shelving on the entire wall above the sink, including across the
windows, provides space for Dana to display her collection of West German
pottery, while letting light shine through the windows. “The kitchen is the
only white room in the house, and my dishes and vases add a pop of color,”
Dana says.
JAN. & FEB. 2011 SEATTLEHOMESMAG.COM
On the wall opposite the open shelves, the room’s second dominant
colorful element is a large rectangular deep-red glass-tile backsplash above
the cooktop. (Red, a recurring element throughout the house, is also the
color of the front door.) In one wall adjacent to the sink, a black magnetic
chalkboard serves as the pantry door, which often displays notes, doodles
and drawings. “They were open to doing things differently, so we were
able to have some fun with the design,” Hoedemaker says.
TO IMPROVE THE KITCHEN’S FUNCTIONALITY, the architects designed
drawers in the center island to open from either side. They also included
double ovens, a pot-filler faucet at the stove and a second pantry in
the vestibule off the kitchen. Hoedemaker and Cromwell also created
a built-in bench in the corner of the room for extra seating. “Everybody
congregates in the kitchen, so now people are comfortable sitting and
socializing while we cook,” Dana explains. The couple often host casual
parties for friends and family and have entertained as many as 12 family
members—including a new grandson—for Thanksgiving.
“For us it was a great opportunity to work with an elegant house
with great proportions and [with] clients with good taste and a sense of
adventure,” Hoedemaker says. “[It was] a combination that came together
to create a perfect project.”
Once an awkward space with no cohesive style, the kitchen now provides
a crucial gathering place for the homeowners and creatively reflects their
personal style and the significance of a nearly 100-year-old structure.
“They absolutely got it,” Dana says. “We all worked so well together,
and it’s exactly what we wanted.”

espect for history, recurring patterns and materials,
abundant natural light and thoughtful built-ins
combine to make the kitchen remodel in this 1927
Tudor-style home work both aesthetically and function-
ally for a Seward Park family of four.
Betina Simmons and her husband, Ian Blaine, pur-
chased their home in 1999, but had recently learned
that it needed foundation work, which represented a
substantial investment. After “a lot of soul searching,”
Betina says, they decided because they loved their neighborhood they
would make this “10-year anniversary gift to the house”—and take this op-
portunity to make it work better for their family.
That meant improving the flow and function of the old kitchen, open-
ing up the dark dining room and making the food preparation, eating and
family spaces into one large, warm and inviting room. Betina and Ian have
two sons, ages 6 and 8, as well as an extended family in the Seattle area.
“We wanted a gathering area,” Betina recalls. “We envisioned one contiguous
space that really lent itself to entertaining.”
On the advice of a friend, they contacted J.A.S. Design Build in early
2008. The J.A.S. team included lead designer Sharyn Wooten, Kaari
Wallerich (interiors), Nicole Dumas (lead carpenter) and Charlie Rush (cabinet
installation). The project’s numerous cabinets were all created in the J.A.S.
Design Build Cabinet Shop.
“What they had wasn’t working for them,” Wooten summarizes, noting
that it’s a familiar story for this design-build firm that has completed more
than 380 remodels in the past five years. “They had outgrown the space.
The kitchen just wasn’t very functional, and it needed to be remodeled or
changed. It really wasn’t suiting the way that they lived.”
One of the homeowners’ goals was to make the space better match
their lifestyle. Both Betina and Ian love to cook, and their spacious yard

includes a large garden where avid gardener Betina grows flowers and
vegetables. The original layout for the house didn’t provide the connec-
tion they wanted to outside, and the galley kitchen was blocked off from
the eating and living areas. “We didn’t need a huge house, [or] a ton more
room,” Betina explains. “Mostly it was the change in the configuration that
made the biggest impact.”
“Initially, the first thing we’ll look at is space planning to meet [the home-
owners’] goals, and from there, develop the style and talk through how we
can meet their goals,” Wooten explains. “Betina and Ian had a really clear
vision of what they liked. It was certainly a partnership to get to the end
result.”
The overall project added approximately 300 interior square feet to
the first floor of the house as well as a large deck. The expansion—which
pushed out the south side of the house by about 9 feet—increased the
size of their main living spaces. The new kitchen flows smoothly into the
dining and family rooms. An adjacent pantry neatly stores dry goods and
appliances.
Throughout the remodel, the J.A.S. team worked to integrate the new
with the old, choosing finishes and materials that complemented the
original house. “It’s really important to me to make sure the remodel has
a consistency with the unaltered parts of the house,” Wooten says. For
example, new double-paned windows in the kitchen were custom made
by Lindal to match the proportion and detailing of the existing single-
pane leaded-glass windows in the rest of the house.
For their part, the homeowners appreciated the design-build team’s
attention to detail and style. “It was a good collaboration,” Betina says.
“Sharyn really got a sense of who we are, and our styles just meshed really
well. They have a good sense of color—that’s one of the things J.A.S. does
really well.”
On the design side, Wooten was similarly appreciative: “It’s really fun to
work with a client who is willing to use some color … and is not afraid of it,”
she notes. “Betina and Ian were comfortable with their own aesthetic while
also keeping an open mind to new ideas and a fresh direction, which made
the process and relationship thoroughly enjoyable: a best-case scenario.”
“Their aesthetic really matched with what we wanted—sort of classic
but with an eclectic twist,” Betina says. “I wanted something that would
honor the origins of the house but a little bit more modern—charming
without being cute.”
In February 2009, about six months after construction began, Betina, Ian
and their sons moved back into the remodeled space. (“They were on time
and on budget, and that was nice,” Betina notes.)
“We just enjoy the space so much because we can all be here together
doing different things: homework, entertaining, cooking,” Betina says. “We
hardly use the rest of the house now.”

BEFORE& AFTER
hen they purchased their 1906 Capitol Hill home, the
owners knew it had great bones but needed a lot of
work. “The kitchen was very out of date, small and not
well designed,” the wife explains. With help from Susan
Ingham of KASA Architecture and Blake Takamura of
Catalyst Design Studio, the space was transformed from cramped and
outdated to open and contemporary.
THE SOLUTION: The original kitchen had a lot of potential, Ingham explains,
but was cut off from the rest of the living areas on the main fl oor. To open
up the space, they knocked down part of an existing wall to create an
archway to the dining room and expanded the kitchen into an area pre-
viously occupied by the back deck. Windows that wrap on three sides of
the room provide plenty of natural light and contribute to the open feel.
Ingham and Takamura interwove modern and traditional elements to
fi t the owners’ lifestyle while maintaining the integrity of the century-old
house. Traditional materials—fi r and marble—were used for the cabi-
netry, counter tops and backsplash but the overall look was kept minimal
and modern with clean lines and sleek fi nishes.
What was previously a cold, dark space is now warm and inviting. “It
has a nice feel to it—it feels clean and light and inspires one to cook,” the
wife says. “It is defi nitely where everyone ends up gravitating toward in
our house.”
For resource information, see Sources on page 94.

WRITTEN BY JUSTINE ARMEN PHOTOGRAPHS BY JOHN GRANEN
Large cabinets allow the homeowners to tuck away household items—such as an espresso machine—neatly and discreetly.
Instead of running the wood grain vertically on the cabinets—for a traditional look—Takamura opted to run it horizontally to maintain the kitchen’s modern design sense.
White marble adds radiance and warmth to the room by refl ecting natural light.

BEFORE& AFTER
hen the record snowfall of 2008 caused a devastating fl ood in the basement of
Mark and Martha Jenkins’ Kirkland home, the couple turned tragedy into triumph. They
embarked on a remodel, eliminating a dated brick fi replace and brightening the space.
THE SOLUTION: “We made lemonade out of lemons,” Martha explains, describing
the remodel born from fl ood damage. “I love my new fi replace. I always wanted to get rid of the old brick
one, and we would ha ve never done that if it wasn’t for the fl ood.” With the help of Amie Henson of Hilary
Young Design, the basement was transformed from two smaller rooms into one large entertainment
area with white oak fl oors and ivory paint on the walls.
Martha, who likes a simple, traditional look, had originally thought about painting the brick fi replace,
but the contractor, Chateau Fireplaces, suggested boxing it in with drywall then giving it a cast-concrete
face, leaving the original herringbone fi rebox intact.
Built-in shelving to the left of the fi replace provides space for the Jenkins to showcase art objects
they’ve picked up in their extensive travels. “Martha had collected several art pieces that were more
whimsical,” Henson explains. “This was an opportunity to use them and make [the basement] not feel so
dark and dreary, but really add life and color.” Ample seating now lets the couple entertain comfortably.
“They’ve had several get-togethers since the remodel and she’s thrilled with how the space functions,
how it feels and how seamlessly it fl ows with the rest of the house,” Henson reports.
For resource information, see Sources on page 94.
Dark brown velour armchairs bring sophistication and visual interest to the primarily light-toned palette of the room.
Fabric bolsters on the windows complement the neutral fl ooring and keep the room light, even when they are closed.

GREENLIVING
WHEN SISTERS JENNIFER AND WENDY BARTLETT decided to remodel
their cramped and outdated 1908 kitchen in West Seattle, they wanted
the process to be as energy efficient and sustainable as possible. “Living in
Seattle, it is our nature to be green when it makes sense,” Jennifer explains.
For help, they approached architect Sheri Newbold of live-work-play, a
firm that regularly practices sustainable design. “When Jennifer and Wendy
hired me, I asked them how far we could go with green,” Newbold recalls.
The Bartletts told her to go green when it was possible and when it made
sense within their budget.
To give Jennifer and Wendy a large kitchen ideal for entertaining,
Newbold created an addition on the west side of the home using Forest
Stewardship Council–certified wood for the framing and low-mainten-
ance Hardie lap siding and shingles for the exterior. New energy-efficient
windows and extra insulation cut down on heating and cooling costs.
Inside, Newbold added plenty of cabinets for extra storage and work space
and used PaperStone, a sustainable material made entirely from recycled
materials, for the counter tops.
To add color in the kitchen—another of Jennifer and Wendy’s
priorities—Newbold chose red for the lower cabinets, yellow for the up-
per cabinets and robin’s-egg blue for the butler’s pantry and built-in book-
case. Jennifer also injected some personality to the space by creating a
mosaic backsplash using stained-glass tiles. “It’s fun to be courageous with
color,” Newbold says. “The look of the kitchen with the color is very vibrant,”
Jennifer adds.
“Jennifer and Wendy really believed in this project, and they are very
invested in this home,” Newbold says. Now the sisters enjoy entertaining
in their new contemporary kitchen—and the fact that they created it in a
sustainable way.
Built-in bookshelves offer additional storage space and keep counter tops clutter-free.
✺Architect Sheri Newbold learned much of what she knows about green building from energy-efficiency
group Northwest Eco-Friendly Guild.✺
The mosaic-tile backsplash created by homeowner Jennifer Bartlett ties together
the kitchen’s color scheme.

Created for Kirkland Hills empty nesters, this remodeled kitchen was designed with entertainment in mind. The tiled backsplash creates a focal point and also adds a bit of functionality with recessed cubbies for storage. “The idea for the cubbies was a group effort between the homeowners, designer and project manager,” says DJ Sandler, marketing director of Logan’s Hammer. “The effect is a classic design with a punch.”

Channeling the homeowner’s collection of early 1900s fishbowls, Carol Sundstrom of röm architecture studio incorporated a collection of hand-carved corbels into the entryway of this Queen Anne home. “The pair of painted dolphin corbels, set in custom millwork, frame the opening to the living room and provide a unique vignette visible upon descending the staircase,” Sundstrom explains.

REALESTATE
MADISON PARK is one of Seattle’s most desirable residential neighbor-
hoods. Located just east of Capitol Hill, the area spans less than one square
mile and contains two public parks, one beach and a top-rated elementary
school, making it an attractive area in which to live and play.
In the early 1800s, Madison Park was a largely forested area along the
shore of Lake Washington that was occupied by the Duwamish Indians.
Early developers in newly founded Seattle recognized the area’s potential
as a residential community, but during the settlement’s early years, the
area was primarily popular as a picnic and recreational destination. In the
mid-1860s, Judge John J. McGilvra, one of Seattle’s most prominent legal
professionals, built the first permanent home there, prompting the com-
munity’s transformation from recreational spot to a residential area. Another
milestone for Madison Park was the establishment of one of Seattle’s lead-
ing schools, McGilvra Elementary, in the late 1800s.
Today Madison Park offers even more than it did a century ago. The
community boasts nearly 100 businesses, including restaurants, markets,
novelty shops, salons and spas. Madison Park Beach attracts summer crowds
for a vibrant beach life during warmer months. The area’s flat topography
makes it relatively easy to walk everywhere.
With little more than 5,000 residents, the neighborhood maintains a dis-
tinct small-town feel. Gail Irving, president of the Madison Park Community
Council, touts the sense of trust that pervades the community. “It’s the idea
that you can live in a neighborhood that is relatively safe, and yet you have
access to this full metropolitan region.”
With a variety of housing options available, from single-family homes to
lakefront condos, Madison Park appeals to a wide demographic. Coldwell
Banker Bain agent Beth Toomey notes that in the last 20 years, she has
seen an increase in the number of town houses and condominiums. As a
result, the neighborhood is home to young professionals as well as retired
couples. “It’s just a lovely combination of life,” Toomey says.
Although the population of the area has changed, the lifestyle hasn’t. “I can go
into [stores] without my wallet because the shop owners know me, and I have
personal accounts with them,” Irving notes. Nearly 150 years after McGilvra first
moved to Madison Park, it still offers a small-town vibe in a big-city setting.
