Style Guide
Whether you want kitchen, bath or outdoor products,
we’ve got the goods — and the inspiration — here.
IT’S ALREADY BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS SINCE I RETURNED FROM THE KITCHEN
& Bath Industry Show (K/BIS) in Atlanta, but it’s just about perfect timing for those new
product introductions to start hitting showroom floors this fall. A stack of press releases
announcing hundreds of new product ideas has been sitting in my office, the shiny folders and
glamorous photos waiting for me to see them and show them to the world (or at least the Greater
Kansas City area). Finally, that day has come.
This issue is mostly the culmination of the newest products coming into the market. Some of
them are available locally, others not. My objective is to share the trends that are leading the
industry and open your mind to the possibility of what is to come.
Though the number of attendees at the show was down this year, innovation was not. Year
after year, bear market or bull market, designers and engineers continue to create or rethink
appliances and accessories that can make our lives easier or more beautiful. I have a handful
of favorites, from the line of sculptural tile from Ann Sacks on page 65 to the chandelier

But functionality is a huge issue and should come first when designing any space. Shawn
McCune points this out articulately during an interview about one of his most recently
completed kitchen projects, featured on page 34. The finished product looks great now, but only
after its floor plan was worked over at the drafting table. Good traffic flow was vital to a
successful remodel.
That’s especially true in even smaller places like the bathroom. While we focus our feature
story on master baths, none of the three is overwhelmingly large. The designers of each share
how they made the most of their clients’ square footage, starting on page 58.

A second entry to the kitchen was walled off

It was unnecessary and actually inhibited traffic flow.

ergonomics in this kitchen remodel before ever making decisions about its style.
hen you realize it takes a semaphore
and flashing lights to get from the
back door of your home into the kitchen,
it’s probably time for a remodel. That’s
what Shawn McCune, CKD, and owner of
Kitchen Design Gallery, discovered with a
recent project.
“I met with the homeowners, who wanted a
kitchen redesign, but I immediately saw that
the underlying problem was the traffic pattern
in the kitchen,” Shawn says. “There was no
entryway, so this busy intersection was very
small with several doors opening into it, none
of which could be open at the same time.”
Only after fixing the problem areas did Shawn add aesthetic features
such as the wood beams and other rustic tones.

solution came in several forms. Nancy chose cabinets that extend to
the ceiling in a bisque glaze for their timeless look and optimal
storage. On both sides of the sink, wall cabinet doors feature seeded
glass to display treasured ceramic collectibles and add personal appeal.
Nancy moved the refrigerator to the opposite wall, creating room to
make the entire length of one wall cabinet storage and countertop
space. Its paneled front matches the decor of the room and is flanked
by ceiling-high pantries. One cabinet serves as an actual pantry, while
the other conceals a microwave, mixer and toaster, all wired for use
behind a pantry door to keep the counters free of appliances. The new
cook top was then placed where the refrigerator originally stood.

Jenn-Air’s new wall oven from its premium appliance
collection is at the height of technology, featuring its own
LCD displays.
The wall oven features a seven-inch color-control screen
that operates by touch. It gives you access to food-specific
cooking modes, offers pan and rack suggestions, and gives
options for levels of doneness (from rare to well done) —
literally taking the guesswork out of baking. Available
through Home Depot, Sears, Ferguson Enterprises, United
Consumers Club, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and Alexander

Sparkling Ventilation
You may be surprised to know that this sparkling chandelier is really
a stove hood. The Star hood by Elica utilizes the patented All-In-One
Evolution system to decorate and illuminate while it ventilates.
Beneath its circular crystal exterior, the Star quietly ventilates a
kitchen with efficiency. Hygiene is guaranteed by its filter system,
which includes a set of dishwasher-safe grease filters and odor
filters. This is a product that proves that looks don’t have to suffer
for function. www.elica.co.uk
No Color Needed
No kitchen is complete without certain small appliances, but not
every kitchen can be as stylish without the Aqua product line from
Kalorik. The collection, including a blender, coffee maker, toaster,
espresso maker and kettle, are design standouts with chrome, stainless
steel and frosted glass accents. Available through Target and Sears.

An island serves a lot of purposes
in a kitchen: space for entertaining,
dining, cleaning and prepping food,
but the Kohler Iron Occasions Island
Sink offers a unique design as well.
Its eight-inch-long trough gives

centerpiece in a kitchen. It can be
installed (as in the picture) or set atop
a more traditional island. The sink
itself is crafted from cast iron made
of 93-percent recycled materials, and
the drain is protected by a stainless steel drain shroud, making it an attractive piece for

TWEAKED TO
Perfection
When Bruce and Bev Gilbert, owners of Regarding
Kitchens, built their new house nearly three years ago,
they had plans to tweak the master bath. There was a
huge shower — enough for six people, Bev claims —
and an oversized tub, neither of which the couple
wanted or needed. So they changed the angle of the
tub, reduced the size of the shower (now it only fits
four!) and took two feet for a see-through fireplace to
the master bedroom.
One of their main goals with the new home was to
not heat the entire 5,000 square feet when they only
use the bathroom before leaving for the day, so they
installed radiant heated tiles that can be toasty warm in
eight minutes, without using forced heat for the rest of
the home. “It’s the best thing since turkey,” Bev says.
Another of their goals was to attain a rustic yet
sophisticated look with their material choices. Bev
wanted an Old World European look that would match
the stone and timbers featured throughout the house
but still look appropriate for a bathroom. “I dislike dark
and dreary,” she says. “I wanted to wake up to warmer
colors, like burnt orange. Frankly, we all look better in
those tones.”
Side-by-side vanities are divided by a tower of creamy-colored
glazed and distressed cabinetry. Oil-rubbed bronze faucets and knobs
contrast nicely. Madura Gold granite countertops have salmon-colored
grains running through, a color Bev picked up on for the stone tile
backsplash and wallpaper. “Wallpaper is back in such a high-end way,”
she notes. “I love the fact that it’s really sophisticated.”
But what she really loves
is the Jason deluxe whirlpool
tub she opted for over a
larger tub. The whirlpool and
bubble features are really
therapeutic and quieter than
most standard tubs. “I love a
good tub. I won’t use one if it’s way too big or lousy. I’m in this one
once a day,” she notes.

PRETTY IN
Purple
Dan Anderson of D. Anderson Consulting didn’t
overlook a single detail in his clients’ Prairie
Village home, especially in the master bathroom.
“The homeowners don’t think about the overall
picture,” he says. “But we put a lot of thought into
the specific way they would use it.” That included
everything from shelves and plugs next to the toilet
for a coffee warmer to cabinet drawers designed
just for makeup. It also included deliberate
pre-thought about the materials they would use,
namely uncut sheets of Brazilian quartzite that
were hung directly on the studs.
Dan’s team of subcontractors used pulleys to
place the Azul Imperial slabs before any other walls were up, installing

The closet, though narrow, is any woman’s dream, fitted with

dryer and a custom jewelry safe. A sliding ladder reaches up to three
levels of storage.
Dan marvels at how many luxuries the home and bathroom have
for being such a relatively compact space. “We gave the homeowners
what they needed to work for them,” he says.

You use it every day. So why not make the bathroom as fun
or beautiful as possible? These products can help.
BY ANNIE HILDEBRANDT
Setting the Mood
Because Thermasol knows that showering is often a way for the working
stiff to relax, it developed a new light and music package for the shower.
You can listen to your favorite music or book or hook the sound system to
your cable to enjoy sports or the news while a full-spectrum light show
soothes you. The package includes an easy-to-use control, and you can even
customize settings. Available through Plumber’s Friend, Neenan Company,
Service Supply, Reeves Wiedeman, Ferguson Enterprises, Grandview
Winnelson, Pyramid Pipe & Supply, Warren Supply Co. and The Fixture
Gallery. www.thermasol.com
Other-Worldly
Taking a bath has never felt so surreal as it does with the Neorest II Suite
from TOTO. The tub and sink are made of a hybrid epoxy resin that is
particularly impact-, heat- and stain-resistant. Through the translucent
surface, an embedded LED light illuminates the sink in an ethereal light.
Rather than a faucet, a knob control located in the corner warms or
cools the temperature level as it turns, letting you know if you’ve reached the desired degree
by a blue, light purple, dark purple or red LED light. This is truly where aesthetics and
engineering meet. Available through Pyramid Pipe & Supply, Grandview Winnelson and Neenan
Company. www.totousa.com
Delicately Designed
The Waza collection’s Miyabi series by TOTO integrates Japanese aesthetics with
daily life. Delicate etchings on handles and spout reflect beauty and culture with
images of pine, plum and bamboo, which represent happiness. The faucet is
available in black nickel, polished nickel, rose bronze and polished brass. Available
through Pyramid Pipe & Supply, Grandview Winnelson and Neenan Company.
www.totousa.com
Pillars of Elegance
Onyx pedestal sinks like the Veneto from Stone Forest are a unique way to use stone
in a bathroom. These were inspired by classic Italian design, and the barrel shape is
carved from single blocks of multicolored onyx. The pillar includes a cavity in
the back to accommodate a light source that further enhances the luminosity of the
architectural form of the sink. Available through Dorfman Plumbing Supply,
Ferguson Enterprises and Phoenix Supply. www.stoneforest.com

Stamp of Approval
When it comes to home design, personalization is paramount, and you won’t
find this countertop in every home on the block. With Motivo, CaesarStone
takes its quartz surface to a new level of sophistication with an embossed,
textured look and feel. Motivo is introduced in this snow white
floral brocade version or black crocodile, but these patterndesigned finishes open the door to numerous creative looks that
make a one-of a-kind statement. www.caesarstoneus.com
Art Goes Anywhere
The bathroom may seem an unlikely place for an art installation, but with Ann Sacks’ sculptural tile from
Blake Studios, any typical backsplash or shower inlay could become a work of art. The organic designs,
Nautilus, Botanical and Dahlia, can be arranged horizontally or vertically to create dynamic, eye-catching
murals. The tiles were created using an old Italian technique called sgraffito, meaning ‘scratched’ — no molds
or dies were used in the creation, but a layering of clay is used to create the textural effect. www.annsacks.com
No Help Needed
In a bustling home, it seems like there’s never enough space in the bathroom. Robern’s
Uplift cabinet provides an innovative solution. The door of the cabinet opens vertically
and only requires two fingers to lift. The door has a hold feature that allows it to remain
partially open for easy use of a hair dryer or razor that can be plugged into one of the six
outlets inside. Lights inside the cabinet turn on the moment it’s opened. Available
through Ferguson Enterprises, SKG & Associates, and Dorfman Plumbing Supply.
www.robern.com
Sophisticated Style
The Supernova three-hole basin mixer by Dornbracht is an interesting example of
the use of angles. The lines of the faucet are spare but strong, creating a striking
yet still utilitarian functionality, solving a bathroom’s equally important needs of
style and functionality. www.dornbracht.com/en
Have Fun with Color
The Sonia Versatile bathroom collection offers modern storage and style in a
variety of colors (like the bright orange in the picture) and a graphic wave motif.
The rounded edges of the glass cabinet and mirror keep the space feeling clean,
while the basin sink gives off a subtly sophisticated vibe. The choice of orange
would be both a daring and rewarding punch of color in a small powder room.

auri and Brian Meyers love to share the history of
L
their Prairie Village home. In fact, they still hold the
original deed to the property and trace its roots back
to an 1859 treaty President James Buchanan signed with the
United Tribe of Shawnee Indians.
In 1903, Homer L. Breyfogle, the first constable of Mission
Township, acquired part of the land and built what is now the
Meyers’ home. The home became known as “the gathering
place,” a center for politics in town.
The Meyers relish carrying on their home’s welcoming
legacy, frequently inviting friends and family over to entertain.
But as open as their home has always been, the couple had
one complaint — their privacy was compromised by the side
deck they described as a “fishbowl” to busy West 83rd Street.
They knew there had to be a way to maintain the original feel
of the property while making better use of the space.
Three years ago, they devised the concept, envisioning an
area where they could spend time outdoors without feeling as
though every passer-by was part of the party. In order to
create such a space, they needed to demolish the existing
driveway that led up to the patio and quarter-off the area with
A pergola extending from the house dapples light over a cozy seating area.
a fence for seclusion.
They called in Terry deFraties of Essential Extras, a
Kansas City-based outdoor structures company, to help create
the enclosure they sought. Afraid too much fencing would
appear more like a stockade and less like a secret garden,
Lauri worked with Terry to add detail to the fence to make it
more residential. The resulting white-picket fence extends to
the side of the home on an angle and includes lattice work and
an archway over the gate for small touches of grace.
Perhaps the Meyers’ most unique yard
accessories are their two Great Danes,
Cooper and Daisy Mae, whose black
and white patches and gigantic size
add regality to the patio palace.
From the outside, glimpses of bright flowers peek through
the fence; trumpet vine growing on the lattice attracts
hummingbirds. Also visible, reaching into the sky above
the fence, is the anchor of the inner patio: a white-painted,
hand-built pergola.
One of the couple’s main ideas from the start, the finished
four-column structure features detailed woodwork on the
roof, the result of mistakenly creating too many squares. The

A couple shifts into lower gear, choosing a midtown condo
with a contemporary twist over a suburban lifestyle.

illie and Scott McCormick’s Sulgrave Regency condo is a stunning
convergence of luxury, art and serene urban living. Inspired by sleek
lines and contemporary design, the McCormicks’ stylish interior is
committed to a patina of saturated modern earth tones punctuated
by splashes of color in paintings, sculptures and ceramics.
Former suburban homeowners, the McCormicks purchased two ground-floor
end units at the iconic mid-rise in 2007 and embarked on a 24-month renovation
with architect Christopher Armer, AIA, of Compass Architecture, and designer
Stacy Heuer, IIDA, to carve out an imaginative and inspiring space.
The goal was to open up the combined units for a feeling of spaciousness and
capitalize on a 2,400-square-foot walkout courtyard off the kitchen and dining
areas and an intimate balcony facing the dramatic Country Club Plaza landscape
off the master suite.
“We wanted as few walls and right angles as possible,” Scott says. “Chris did
an excellent job of pushing the straight lines of the space to the perimeter and
keeping the inside curved.”
The McCormicks wanted their new urban digs to reflect the freedom of a
downsized lifestyle, accommodate their penchant for entertaining and showcase
an eclectic art collection.
“Billie and Scott were very open-minded when it came to the interior,”
Stacy says.
A major obstacle Christopher faced in reconfiguring the condo was a
plumbing stack that dissected the two units. A brilliant solution that ultimately
satisfied the couple’s request for curved lines throughout the home was an
oval-shaped enclosure that concealed the electrical components and yielded
bonus space for a diminutive powder room and small storage closet.
The ingenious design was dubbed the “egg” and covered in a misty blue quartz
stone with rust veining. A focal point from any vantage, the egg seamlessly
delineates the living space and announces the creative spirit permeating the
residence. “You get a different perspective of the wall from varying angles,” Billie
says. “This adds a lot of interest to the space.”
Bob Gillpatrick of Gillpatrick Woodworks, a full-service artisan woodworker
in Louisburg, Kan., was hired to design and execute the complicated cabinetry
and to do the template for the egg. “We had many challenges because Billie and
Scott had a specific vision and wanted curves,” Bob says. “We encountered some
engineering issues in order to maintain clean lines and the minimalist look.”
The powder room door in the egg presented a particular problem. “There were
both an ellipse and a curve,” Bob continues. “The radius of the door changes as
it opens.”

Off the living room is a clean-lined game

such as sculptures of motorcycles that are a
nod to the couple’s shared passion. Scott, a
founder of advertising powerhouse VML,
enjoys the solitude of his home office
outfitted with more custom-built walnut
shelves and a contemporary desk.
A space next to the office performs double
duty as a sitting area/library and guest room

Chris notes. “Billie and Scott wanted visual

The unique architecture is accented by cove and track lighting,
brightening the dark textured walls.
The balcony is a welcome refuge for the couple and a reflection
of their new urban-influenced life. “We like to sit here with a glass
of wine and watch the activity,” Scott says.
As a gourmet cook, Billie enjoys the kitchen’s form-meets-function
design. Five black stools line a bar-height countertop that is 3 Form
acrylic in a cool avocado color. A waterfall backsplash with stones that
echo the blues in the egg is its own art installation, and a walk-in pantry
gives Billie ample space for foodstuffs and a conveniently located wine
refrigerator for dinner parties and get-togethers.
Adjoining the kitchen is the formal dining room that has a built-in
buffet and a dining table that extends to accommodate 10 guests. The
courtyard offers ample room for entertaining and a prized part of the
McCormicks’ art collection. Local artist Guinotte Wise’s “Bear Air” is
a whimsical sculpture that Billie says is always a conversation piece.
The couple has adapted well to their move into the city. “We
enjoy walking to the restaurants on the Plaza and being so close

Bacchus in the Basement
Cellaring wine at home is proving to be a satisfying way
to enjoy your private stock whenever you wish.
Story By Gloria Gale

Wine Storage Designs created this spacious plan
with plenty of options for expansion.
S
alute, Cin-Cin, Cheers! Toasting in any language is
undeniably celebratory, particularly in these uncertain times
when sharing a fine meal and beverage in the company of
friends becomes a joyous way to give thanks.
There’s comfort in knowing the pantry is brimming and soup’s on
the stove. But when it comes time to pop the cork on your favorite
vintage, a better option is at hand than reaching for a bottle you’ve
stashed in the closet: your own wine cellar.
LIQUID ASSETS
Whether you’re just getting started with your collection or are a longtime wine enthusiast, storing and caring for your cache is critical to
protect your investment.
There are two types of wine cellars to consider: active and passive.
Active cellars, or ‘rooms,’ are usually built above or below ground.
This small wine closet by D. Anderson Consulting makes up
for its size in artistic flair, from a custom wood and glass
door to the carefully crafted groin-vaulted ceiling.
Temperature and humidity are critical factors that must be maintained
through a specialized climate-control system properly constructed and
highly insulated.
108 • KCHANDG.COM
Inspired by the rustic charm of Italian cellars,
Amber Gardner designed her client’s cellar
to have the same Old World appeal.
Passive cellars are not climate-controlled and are usually
underground. Think caves, which provide an ideal environment where
temperature (cool) and humidity (damp) are constant and there’s
neither vibration nor light, perfect conditions for wine storage.
Wine, being a perishable food product, must be protected from heat,
light, vibration, temperature and fluctuations in humidity. Keeping
that in mind, when wines are properly stored, they mature in aroma
and flavor.
Just like caves that actively store wine throughout the world, a
temperature between 55-58 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal for short- and
long-term storage. Humidity should hover around 70 percent. Low
humidity will encourage mold and rot; if it’s too high, corks will shrink,
causing air to seep into the bottles.
Don’t forget about two other factors: light and vibration. Light
causes wine to age too fast; therefore, dark bottles and a dark place
like a cellar are optimal. Similarly, the less vibration wine sustains the
better. Your best bet is safely cradling your precious investment in a
racking system or bin.
Beauty, Function and INSPIRATION
According to the professionals and their clients, designing a wine
cellar is one of the great pleasures in life. A well-designed wine cellar
not only renders a collection safe but is also a great source of pride.
The wine cellar showcases a collector’s dream in a room totally
customized to individual taste.
Eric Sherwood and his partners Jarrett and Heidi Gandy started a
business designing wine cellars for that very reason. “Five years ago,
I was looking for someone to build me a wine cellar from A to Z,” Eric
says. When I couldn’t find anyone who could build cabinetry the way
I wanted, I spoke with my friend Jarrett, a master wood craftsman. The
opportunity presented itself to merge our talents, thus launching our
niche business.”
Since then, the three have become partners in Wine Storage Designs.
“We’re in the business of listening to our clients, finding out if they
just want storage or a showpiece, then constructing exactly to their
specifications. It’s just like building a home, only on a smaller scale,”
he adds.
That’s exactly why Stacy and Scott Colangelo hired the company to
build Scott’s cellar in his south Johnson County home. “Scott was just

Pride comes from knowing a collection
can be deftly structured in this fashion if the
homeowner is so inclined. Designer Dan
Andersen wants to make sure that his Prairie
Village client will have that opportunity.
Currently crafting a unique home, Dan
is highly enthusiastic about his project.
“The home’s appointments have been
carefully designed, right down to the
wine cellar located in the lower-level
kitchen. Though not overly large, the 6foot by 8-foot cellar demonstrates expert
craftsmanship, particularly the groinvaulted limestone ceiling that took 240
hours to complete,” he says.
A keen sense of detail begins with
the raw-cut stone stairs accented by a
swirled metal handrail leading downstairs.
Imbedded between two sheets of glass, the
same swirl design (in hard maple instead of
metal) is repeated in the cellar door.
Inside the softly lit room, vertical and
diagonal merlot-colored racking for 500
bottles climbs two dried-stacked brick
walls. Adjacent is a granite-topped tasting
station with additional room for storage.
“The room is compact but creatively
designed with an accent on expert storage
within a distinctively secure environment,”
Dan explains.
Bragging rights are in order when it
comes down to these gem-like wine cellars.
Individually, all of these homeowners have
taken into account their own personal
drinking habits, balanced features versus
space with price, and determined the best
cellar for their needs. Their professional
designers have followed suit, melding
form with function and ultimately yielding
beautiful rooms.

New energy tax credits for homeowners

changes in your home. Under the new energy efficiency tax credit
program, homeowners can receive 30 percent of the cost of a qualified
home improvement/product up to a maximum of $1,500.
Your windows and doors comprise one category where you can start
making your home more energy efficient. As of June 1, 2009, eligible
windows and doors must have both of the following:
The maximum tax credit has been raised from $500 to $1,500 for
●
a U-Factor equal to or less than 0.30
●
a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) equal to or less than 0.30
the two-year period of 2009 and 2010. All home improvements must
meet all performance specifications for their category.
Some conditions and caveats to consider:
●
●
Include product labels or manufacturer’s certification statement.
●
Must be used for remodeling or replacement (new construction
does not qualify for the new tax credit).
Energy-efficient products must be purchased and placed in
service during 2009 or 2010 (more specifically, between February 17,
2009, and December 31, 2010).
●
The tax credit of $1,500 is a combined total for 2009 and 2010
energy-efficiency improvements.
●
and doors with its EcoExcel Energy Performance Package.
Proof of purchase: Must provide a sales receipt (Federal law
requires itemized receipts) for product(s) only.
●
One example of a manufacturer meeting the new guidelines is
Andersen Windows, which offers an entire line of eligible windows
Installation and other labor costs do not qualify for the tax credit.
HVAC
Efficiency levels have been modified to reflect the highest tier of the
CEE High-Efficiency Specification for Residential HVAC Systems for
equipment placed in service.
According to Bill Jones, operations manager at Midwest Heating
Cooling and Plumbing, furnaces that are 95-percent efficient or
higher qualify for the tax credit. “Air conditioners that are 16 SEER or
higher and heat pumps that are 15 SEER or higher are also eligible,”
he adds.
Bill says that an upgrade can cost anywhere between $2,500$10,000 for HVAC products, depending on how big the system is.
Clay Lyon, owner of Lyon Construction + Design and a former
energy conservation program coordinator and reviewer, utilizes an
energy-efficient approach to his work. “If we are planning an addition
or remodel, we will incorporate components that comply with
the requirements,” he says. This includes environmentally friendly
windows, doors, insulation and mechanical systems.
So far, he says the tax credit has appealed to many homeowners.
“We’ve literally sold hundreds of systems,” he notes.
While there is a cap of $1,500 on most energy-efficient products,
Bill notes there is no limit on geothermal heat pumps. “If you spend
$20,000, you will get $6,000 in tax credit.” Additionally, solar water
heaters and solar panels are not subject to the $1,500 maximum.

INSULATION
Energy-efficient insulation in your home is
also eligible for tax credits. The Hayes
Company offers an entire line of insulating
products for walls, attics and basements.

products offered that are eligible under the
program’s guidelines.
Tim Hayes, retail sales manager for The
Hayes Company, says the average cost for
an installation job is $1,500, of which
approximately 60 percent is on material
(labor is not eligible under the tax credits). In

this case, a homeowner can expect to receive
$200-300 in tax credits. “It makes the payback
look better. For energy-saving options, that
takes a year off payback,” he says.
ROOFING
Radiant barrier decking is another tax crediteligible improvement that can reduce cooling
costs in addition to improving duct and
insulation performance at home. Designed
to reduce attic temperatures, a radiant barrier
is a type of reflective installation that
