cobbler’s
the
child
By Anne Marie Ashley
Photography by Dustin Peck
There’s an old adage that
the “cobbler’s children have
no shoes,” referring of course
to the phenomena that talented
professionals rarely have
the time or ability to provide
themselves the services they so
lovingly provide for others.
T
hrough the many homes we’ve
featured in Urban Home Magazine, we’ve
discovered this is never the case for
interior designers. In fact, it’s the constant
evolution of style in their own homes that
keep their eyes keen and their style sharp,
and when we get the rare opportunity to showcase a designer’s
home, we’re just giddy to share such a personal space.
Angie Persson, interior designer and one-half owner of
Swell Décor in Charlotte alongside Merrin Lowe, opened
up her home and proved unequivocally that the cobbler’s
children have beautiful shoes.
After working and studying design abroad in London for
five years, Angie and her husband moved back to Charlotte.
The search took three months, and though the home they
purchased was not their “dream home,” they were eager to
maximize its potential.
“Before moving in, we renovated the kitchen and repainted the entire house,” remembers Angie. “Since then,
10 and lots of small projects along the way.”
The busy family of four rarely slows down, so the
Perssons knew they needed a home that would call them to
relax. The large trees and older homes of the neighborhood
spoke to the calm they were looking for, but the in-town
location was perfect for their need for activity. With her
husband’s Swedish background, Angie discovered a love of
Swedish antiques and incorporates them all over her home,
mixed oddly, though perfectly, with Mid-Century modern
and contemporary pieces.
“I usually start with a design plan that’s in scale with the
room and has a neutral canvas. Then I add the fun stuff over
time with layering,” explains Angie. “One of the benefits
of being a designer is having access to the newest things
on the market – so it never fails, when I am out shopping
for clients, I usually find something I need too!” The other
benefit, of course, is working with talented locals like
Andrew Roby for her most recent renovation last spring, and
William Perez, who painted the branch piece that hangs in
their back courtyard as well as a few pieces in her home.
“One of the benefits
of being a designer
is having access to
the newest things
on the market –
so it never fails,
when I am out
shopping for clients,
I usually find something I need too!”
“William works for Merrin and I on many client projects, so it’s
a win-win for me.”
Angie’s passion for antiques and treasures from her travels
can be seen in every nook of her home along with pieces made
of Lucite, and tons of texture in the form of cowhides, reclaimed
wood, horns and fluffy pillows.
“My favorites pieces are the elk antlers in the dining room,
the petrified wood coffee table in the sun room and the original
oil painting of a doll that was gifted to my daughter, which now
hangs in the living room,” she says. Angie adds that she tries to
avoid a home that looks overly decorated, but that instead is cozy,
relaxing and unpredictable.
“Design is about breaking the rules and creating a home with
a story.” Of course, her expertly mixed accessories are only
amplified by her booth at Cotswold Marketplace called “Simply
Swedish,” where she sells her signature mix of Swedish antiques,
sourced directly from Sweden courtesy of their summer family
vacations, and Mid-Century and contemporary pieces.
“I only buy what I love and in the event it doesn’t sell, it comes
home with me,” she laughs.u

Grace
By Nancy Atkinson
Photography by Dustin Peck
“I believe that to be
really modern, you have
to know your history.
It’s authentic. It’s personal.
It’s original.”
I
nspired by her southern roots, interior
designer Gray Walker leans toward tradition but has
an eye for many styles. She mixes old and new with
confidence, incorporating inherited antiques with bold
art and classic glamour for a look that is sophisticated,
fresh and far from stuffy.
Gray’s Georgian-style home in Charlotte’s Myers Park neighborhood is a perfect example of her masterful mix. When she
found the home – built state-of-the-art in 1967 and in still great
condition – she knew her art and antiques were a perfect fit for
its rooms.
Her first bold move was commissioning local artist Robin
Wellner to create a whimsical oversized butterfly garden in
the foyer; Gray’s modern take on a classic motif. “It makes me
happy every day,” she says.
In the master bedroom she covered the walls in an old
school floral but softened the room with neutrals and shades of
lavender, throwing in mirrored accents and a Lucite and
leopard bench.
A touch of leopard in every room is one of Gray’s signature
touches to lighten the stuffiness, and in her words, “gives
an edge.”
“My bedroom is my favorite room,” she says. “It’s feminine
and glamorous. I feel all dressed up even when I’m not.”
Gray describes her design process as “falling in love with one
object and decorating around it.” In the master bedroom, it was
the Osborne & Little wallpaper she fell for, creating her uplifting
lavender room around it.
A touch of leopard in every
room is one of Gray’s signature
touches to lighten the stuffiness.
“I love lavender,” she says, “Which is something I didn’t
realize until I moved into this house!”
Though the house was pristine, the kitchen, with its heavy
wood paneling, needed an update. Working with kitchen
designer Susan Dudley and builder David Brown and his team
at Craftsmen Construction, renovated the kitchen with a
cleaner, more contemporary look. Mark Bennett of Morgan
Landscaping designed a new porch for the back of the house as
well as a beautiful new landscape.
Gray’s new kitchen features white cabinets, soapstone
and Calcutta marble surfaces and a white leather breakfast
banquette. The star of the kitchen is the leather-upholstered
waitstaff-style door, an architectural element Gray loves to use
in her clients’ homes as well.
“Upholstered doors give a room lots of character,” she says.
“The kitchen has a lot of hard surfaces and the door softens
things a bit and adds a pop of color. It’s a nice complement to
all that stone.”
Whether in her own home or
her clients’ homes, Gray sees
design as an ongoing process.
She likes to shake things up so
they never seem stale and says
maintaining the perfect mix is a
balancing act.
“There is lots of promoting,
demoting, painting and decorating going on in my house most
of the time,” she laughs. “It may
only be happening in my brain
right now, but it will get done
when the mood hits me!”u
Gray’s Anatomy of Design
• Fall in love with one thing and decorate the room around it.
• Keep your rooms fresh by moving things around. Bring new items
in, demote some things and promote others.
• Gray’s definition of good design is not over-decorating a house.
Edit and stay on subject.
• Don’t over-accessorize and go for some serious juxtaposition.
• Keep a style notebook. Fill it with images you love and jot down
your thoughts on why you like them.
• Add mirrors to the backs of bookshelves in an older house. It’s an
unexpected touch that makes the room feel lighter.

One
Room
Challenge
Holly Phillips of
the English Room
in Charlotte is used to
taking on a challenge
— she’s a designer
after all.
So when she was asked to do a One Room Challenge
this past fall, Holly knew she could make it happen. And she
knew exactly which room to tackle.
“The playroom in my house is basically a wallowing pit of
destruction,” she explains in a half-laugh, half-truth tone. “As
with many designers, getting to your own home is often your
last priority. I tend to push client projects ahead of mine in the
workroom.” The negative to this overused room is that Holly’s
husband, children and three dogs use and abuse it constantly,
thereby pushing the décor to the bottom of the priority list.
“You also enter this room directly from the back door, and I
hate what guests are forced to see upon entering this oversized
dog bed of a room,” adds Holly. “The sectional was the wrong
color when I bought it at the Mitchell Gold Outlet, but I loved
the lines knowing I would recover it in the future.” The future
was now present, with the One Room Challenge, so she dove
in headfirst.
The One Room Challenge, for those who aren’t familiar, is a
semi-annual event where 20 bloggers, made up of professional
designers, Diy’ers, and interior design bloggers, transform a
room from start to finish hosted by Linda of Calling it Home.
“This was both a marathon and a sprint,” says Holly. “Six
weeks seems to always fly by in the blink of an eye.” The end result is a fun, functional and fresh room for her
family to enjoy. The art is her personal favorite.
“I can’t resist a great gallery wall and am proud of this fun
mix. This room is all about comfort without sacrificing the
quality or level of design. The colors are punchy and a signature to my own style. The layers of accessories and collected
mementos complete the eclectic look of this bold space.”u

Design Board
Amy Vermillion
This living room mood board is
typical of my aesthetic — I refer to
it as “casually elegant.” Elements
of formality like the velvet sofa,
embroidered pillows and brushed
gold console table are balanced
with a sanded oak coffee table,
faux bois side table and a shagreen
mirror. The neutrals are accented by the blues in the
rug, which are my secondary shades. The fire screen, the
octagonal back of the occasional chair and the reeded
front of the chest all add geometric visual interest. The
rug reminds me of running water and it anchors the entire
room with movement and pattern without being too busy.
“
I design with
a lot of livable
neutrals accented
with color and
I love using
geometry as a
way to bring
visual interest.

American
Architectural
Style
by Nancy Atkinson
The elements of classic architecture give our homes
curb appeal and good bones. But the details that distinguish a Cape Cod vary greatly from those that create
a Craftsman. Which style feels like home to you?
From the colonial era to modern contemporary, we’ve
defined the key characteristics of 14 popular house
designs to help you find a home you love.
Victorian
Origin: We often associate the elaborate trim and bright colors of a home resembling
a dollhouse with this style. But Victorian architecture encompasses many well-known
styles that emerged during the reign of Queen Victoria. Gothic revival, Italianate, Second
Empire and Queen Anne styles all evolve from the Victorian idea that architecture should
be beautiful rather than practical.
Aesthetics: Look for homes that are two to three stories featuring decorative trim,
textured wall surfaces, a steep multi-faceted roof, towers, vibrant colors and a large
wraparound porch.
Why It’s Cool: The combination of architectural styles allows designers to mix the
styles as they see fit, which means there are few Victorian homes that look the same.
Neoclassical
Origin: The style flourished in the early part of the 20th century, used widely in institutional settings like universities and government, but in residential buildings as well,
relating back to the classic architecture of ancient Greece and Rome.
Aesthetics: Look for symmetry, tall Doric columns, elaborate doorways and evenly
spaced windows, along with a colonnaded façade, pedimented front porch and formal
proportions.
Why It’s Cool: It’s immediately recognizable, the most famous being Thomas Jefferson’s Virginia home Monticello, which means a timeless architectural style.
Mid Century Modern
Origin: Forward-thinking for its time, this style first began in 1945, when World War II
brought new materials, including steel and plywood, to the forefront of architecture. Mid-Century Modern homes flourished into the 1980s.
Aesthetics: This style is known for its flat planes, large glass windows and open space with
a focus on simplistic design and seamless integration with nature. Many Mid-century houses
also utilized changes in elevation with small steps going up and down between rooms
creating split-level spaces and partial walls or cabinets of varying heights to create different
depths in the space.
Why It’s Cool: This style has a great integration with nature. Rooms have multiple outdoor
views, or multiple access points, encouraging an appreciation of healthy living.

Origin: Inspired by Britain’s thatched cottages, this style was born in the 1600s and
early 1700s.
Aesthetics: Look for the symmetry of windows flanking the front door, dormer
windows on the second level and cedar shingles to find a true Cape Cod.
Why It’s Cool: It is most popular in New England, where the home’s steeply pitched
roof and larger chimneys make them perfect for withstanding cold Northeastern winters.
Cottage
Origin: This style takes its name from the Cotters of the Middle Ages, the European
peasant farmers whose English countryside homes inspired its charm. Popular in
America during the 1920s and 30s, cottage-style refers to homes that exude a warm,
storybook character.
Aesthetics: These homes are made from brick, stone or stucco siding and feature
curved entryways, steep roof pitches and cross gables, arched doors and casement windows.
Why It’s Cool: Cottages have high curb appeal with brighter exterior colors and
flowers adorning the entryway.
Colonial
Origin: Originating in the 1600s, Colonial architecture came to America around 1876
and has many variations, due to the diversity of early American settlers. Colonial styles
include Dutch, Georgian and Federal.
Aesthetics: The Dutch Colonial is easily recognized by its broad gambrel look,
which gives it a barn house look. Georgian is the most common type of Colonial home
and features strict symmetry, five windows across and flattened columns. The Federal
Colonial is modeled after Roman classicism with decorative embellishments, tall columns,
grand curved steps, fan shaped window topping the door with long windows placed symmetrically on either side of the door.
Why It’s Cool: All three styles are known for their symmetry, characterized by evenly
spaced shuttered windows, proportioned dormers, columns and chimneys to complement the formal style.
Tudor
Origin: When referring to the architectural style in the U.S., the term refers not to
typical buildings of Tudor England, but instead to a style popularized in the United States
during the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The style is based
loosely on a variety of elements from medieval English architecture, including humble
cottages and stately manors.
Aesthetics: This style includes steeply pitched, multi-gabled rooflines, embellished
entries, mixed siding materials, casement windows, elaborate chimneys and decorative
half-timber framing.
Why It’s Cool: With its Hansel and Gretel-esque details and countryside charm,
there’s no more romantic style.
Mediterranean
Origin: Extremely popular in the United States from 1918 to 1940, Mediterranean style
was modeled after the hacienda design, combining influences from Spain, Italy, Portugal
and other countries in the Mediterranean region.
Aesthetics: Red-tiled roofs and stucco finishes define this style, with today’s versions
combining courtyards, porticos, balconies, interior arches and ornamental details such as
heavy wooden doors and multicolored tiles.
Why It’s Cool: The roof tiles, heavier than regular shingles, can last for a century or
more, and are usually low-maintenance and the flooring is often made of terra-cotta
tiles, keeping feet cool on a hot day. craftsman
Origin: Inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement, which began in England in the late
19th century, this style was most popular in America in the early 1900s to 1930s.
Aesthetics: Typical exterior features include low-pitched roofs with wide eave overhangs and wide front porches framed by tapered square columns.
Why It’s Cool: Craftsman-style homes emphasize the use of natural materials like
wood, stone and brick and interior woodwork that includes built-in furniture and
shelving, large fireplaces and exposed beams.
Farmhouse
Origin: True farmhouse homes were built on agricultural land by early colonial families
of the 1700s. Architects were only for the wealthy, so these owners built their homes
themselves out of mud, stone or logs modeled after popular styles of the day. The result
was unpretentious, functional and straightforward.
Aesthetics: Common elements are functional porches, formal spaces in the front
of the home informal spaces in the back, a simple but inviting exterior and a rural or
country setting.
Why It’s Cool: For families hoping to buy that special vacation retreat in the country,
finally have enough space to grow that garden, or just move away from the city or
suburbs, the informality of a farmhouse may be the perfect fit.
Prarie
Origin: Another style influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, the low-slung
Prairie home was developed in the Midwest by architectural trailblazer Frank Lloyd
Wright. Seeking an alternative to the excesses of the Victorian era and the machine-based lifestyle of the Industrial Age, Wright based his design on the idea that a
home should serve all practical needs without being overly showy.
Aesthetics: Open floor plans, built-in furniture and use of simple materials define
Prairie style, which also features long flat roofs, rows of windows, horizontal lines and
window mullions with geometric patterns based on plants like wheat.
Why It’s Cool: Having a true Frank Llyod Wright home means that it’s a one-of-akind, with just a few coming onto the market each year and only a few hundred designed
around the country.
French Provincial
Origin: The provincial style was inspired by rural manors in the French countryside.
American soldiers serving in Europe during World War I admired the homes and made
them popular in postwar America.
Aesthetics: Steeply pitched hip roofs without front facing gables, tall second-story
windows, brick, stucco and stone exteriors and porches with substantial balustrades
define this style.
Why It’s Cool: With its decorative appeal and romantic touches, English estate style,
American farmhouse and even transitional decorating styles can all work very well in a
French provincial home. Greek Revival
Origin: This international design first appeared in America during the 1820s and flourished during the 1830s and 40s. At the time, America was looking to ancient Greece for
inspiration. Not just in its architecture, but in its philosophy, the arts and science as well. Aesthetics: Symmetrical in shape and featuring tall columns and pediments, painted
plaster exteriors, horizontal transoms, bold moldings and embellishments, Greek Revival
homes are commonly found on large estates and historic plantations.
Why It’s Cool: Dramatic and grand in scale, these homes are built for entertaining.

What Your Contractor
Can’t Tell You
by Amy Johnston
Origin: The term contemporary refers to the architecture of the 1950s to 1970s, but is
widely used to describe homes that focus on simple forms and geometric lines.
Aesthetics: This style features open floor plans, lack of ornamentation, a dynamic mix
of contrasting materials and textures, exposed roof beams and flat or low-pitched
roofs define this style.
Why It’s Cool: A true contemporary will also emphasize energy efficiency, sustainable
materials, lots of natural light and the use of recycled non-toxic materials.

Color(S) of the
Check out some chic ways to bring the year’s most on-trend colors to your palette.
Pantone has announced that PANTONE 15-3919 Serenity and PANTONE 13-1520 Rose
Quartz will be the Colors of the Year selection for 2016, making it the first time two colors
have been chosen as the “it” shades for designing and decorating.
“In our world today, we are continually bombarded with information and find it difficult to keep up,” explains Laurie Pressman, vice president of the Pantone Color Institute.
“The global economy is uncertain, and politically there is most definitely a lot of clashing
of thoughts and ideas.” She adds that there is a need for reassurance and the desire
to quiet the mind, which drives consumers to balance their fast-paced, fractured and
hurried lives with some downtime, calm and the opportunity to just switch off. “ The harmonious pairing of these two inviting shades embody the mindset of tranquility and inner
peace consumers seem to be looking for.”

The
Necessity
of Art
Galleries
Art dealers are in the business of helping
you and can be a vital resource, streamlining the
process and even making it enjoyable. Imagine
if galleries didn’t exist – there would be no one
to supply or advise the art-buying public and no
formalized setting in which art transactions could
take place. As in any industry, the art business is
populated with good dealers, average dealers and
terrible dealers. Here are some characteristics to
look for as you begin or continue to acquire quality works of art:
• Good dealers listen to what you have to say. They want to know what you are looking
for and will show you the work of artists they represent that could possibly
interest you.
• Good dealers want you to learn. They determine what you know and offer advice
when it is needed. Your questions are answered in a direct and straight forward fashion.
• Good dealers offer plenty of facts. They discuss the visual, scholarly, aesthetic and
historical aspects of the art you are interested in. They compare and contrast artists,
quality levels, works of art and pricing.
• Good dealers suggest tools and resources for continuing your education. They recommend books to read, museums to visit, experts and collectors to meet, collections to see.
• Good dealers speak your language and work with you at your own pace. You should
feel free to make your own decisions and never feel pressured to buy. You leave their galleries knowing that they are genuinely interested in your success as a collector.u
Collecting art in
an organized
and strategic fashion
can be daunting.

Amy Lee
Owner of
Artistic Interior Design
It’s not like Amy Lee of Artistic
Interior Design knew she wanted to design
interiors when she was two, but she did
love being creative – that was a born trait.
She studied interior design in college and a
love for architecture came naturally
as a result.
“I really did love architecture so much,”
offers Amy. “But once I started working in interior design in the
real world, I knew I’d chosen the perfect career for myself.”
Amy joined an architecture firm in Atlanta as the in-house
designer and worked on a myriad of projects from commercial
spaces to retail and healthcare. She relocated to New York and
had opportunities to work with clients like Dior and Fendi, with
a smattering of residences around Manhattan. It didn’t take her
long to realize that she’d fallen in love with residential design
and decided to go it alone, opening her own design business –
Artistic Interiors. The decision to move closer to family with the
birth of her first baby brought her to Charlotte, and it was a nobrainer to continue Artistic Interiors here.
“Working in Charlotte was a little bit of an adjustment,” she
admits. “The style at the time was heavily traditional and in New
York, it was modern and transitional projects.” As Charlotte
caught up, Amy now finds her client list stacked with families
that are clamoring for clean, comfortable and transitional style
for which she’s known. “Something that has never changed is
that I am always listening to my clients. Most people know what
they want, you just have to listen, observe and really review
what inspires them.”
Amy says that most people are looking for homes that are beautiful and durable – standing up to children and pets equally. Thankfully, she says, there are more options than ever for hardwearing
materials that provide a comfortable, yet sophisticated aesthetic.
“It’s easy for designers to access elusive design resources to
find the perfect fabric or piece for a family that needs something
multifunctional,” she says. Amy cites new trends that include
the use of indoor/outdoor fabrics inside, as well as crypton. Previously only used in hotels and restaurants, crypton is woven
with a coated thread that makes it nearly impervious to spills
and stains – it can even be bleached – making it perfect for busy
families and messy pets. These kinds of innovations help Amy
give clients practicality alongside the all-neutral palette and Hollywood glam aesthetics that are dominating the market.
“Hiring an interior designer is the best way to get a truly
unique home,” suggests Amy. u
Amy Lee is the owner of Artistic Interior Design in Charlotte and
member of the local chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). She has 16 years experience and is available for consultation and design services. Contact her at 704-274-3606, visit the

Eye for Design
By Brandy Snow
“Our clients enjoy all the advantages
that come with having your own
personal interior designer...”
Whether they’re creating completely new
aesthetics or simply refreshing existing ones, interior design can
be a daunting challenge for homeowners. Chances are you have
a pretty firm grip on your likes and dislikes, but preferences
alone do not a cohesive design make. Often homeowners are
too close to the project and are unable to step back to get a full
vision. For many, securing the services of a third-party designer
with tried-and-true industry expertise as well as an inside track
on emerging trends is the perfect way to gain perspective.
Because there is more to a design overhaul than simply
choosing a color scheme, inexperienced homeowners can find
themselves easily overwhelmed when overseeing all the details
and facets of the intricate process. World-renowned furnishing brand Ethan Allen offers fashionable yet classic styles, an
unrivaled selection of custom options and value-added design
services to ensure that each homeowner receives personalized
attention in their custom design.
“Our complimentary design service is like no other. We call
ourselves the ‘largest interior design firm in the world’ because
our Design Centers are staffed by professional designers – not
sales personnel – who offer a full scope of services, including everything from picking the perfect piece and coordinating fabrics
and patterns to color theory, customization, measurements,
space planning, project management, and budget tracking. Our
clients enjoy all the advantages that come with having your
own personal interior designer – getting expert advice, having
a designer’s eye, and having someone in your corner with the
know-how to get the job done efficiently and within budget,”
says Dawn Harris, Ethan Allen’s Carolina District Design
Manager. “We’ve been told many times by clients that our
services help take the guesswork and worry out of the design
process, making it more fun and productive, and because the
service is complimentary, it provides an extraordinary value not
found elsewhere.”
Complimentary design services are available for any and
all parts of the home – even overlooked areas such as entryways and mudrooms, media rooms, home offices and outdoor
spaces. According to Harris, one of the most popular services
with clients is coordinating styles and colors within a room and
throughout the home, selecting new styles to beautifully mix
with existing pieces and creating a seamless mood that flows
uninhibited through the interior. This includes everything from
selecting the right upholstery fabrics and scale of furniture to
choosing one or two key accent pieces that tie a look together.
Homeowners shouldn’t ignore fine-tuning finishing touches
to accent the design aesthetic. Ethan Allen designers even help
clients with the customization of accessories and fine details,
such as creating custom bedding, designing window treatments
and hardware, choosing fabrics and trim details on upholstery
and pillows, and selecting artwork and custom frames.u
Need an eye for design? Contact the Ethan Allen showroom at
704-341-7512 or visit them at 11516 Carolina Place Parkway in Pineville.

Authentic Food,
Authentic People
The coming together of FS Food Group owner
Frank Scibelli and personal chef Shai Fargian was a match made
in heaven.
“I wanted Mediterranean cuisine to be my next foray into food
here in Charlotte,” Scibelli explains. “I had to find the perfect
person to bring it to life.” Fargian, the Israeli-born chef, was the
ideal candidate to run the new restaurant.
“I was a private chef in Charlotte, but ready for a change,”
says Fargian. “So, when a mutual friend introduced me to Frank,
it was perfect timing.”
Fargian, born and raised in a small town in the center of
Galilee, started out as a dishwasher in one of the only cafés in
his town. He moved up to line cook and eventually went looking
for bigger, better restaurants in Tel Aviv. By his mid-twenties,
Fargian was working under renowned chef and restaurateur,
David Burke in New York City. When Scibelli offered him the
head chef job at his new Mediterranean restaurant, set to open
in Southpark at the end of February, Fargian jumped at the
chance.
“It’s really comforting to make the food I’ve grown up cooking
and eating for my whole life,” he says. “Tel Aviv-Yafo is one of
the few, if only, places in the world where Jews, Christians and
Muslims live happily together in one multicultural city.” And
it’s that feeling of inclusiveness and multicultural melding that
Scibelli was anxious to bring here to Charlotte and why YAFO
Kitchen seemed like the perfect moniker.
YAFO will be a fast-casual, authentic Mediterranean restaurant, serving authentic dishes like schwarma-style rotisserie
chicken, falafel and hummus, classically prepared but with a
sophisticated twist.
Frank Scibelli set to add
YAFO Kitchen to list of
successful restaurants
in Charlotte
“Hummus is such a simple dish,” offers Fargian. “But the
loaded down versions found at your local grocer are far from
authentic. We’ve gotten the recipe just right – light, lemony and
with the perfect amount of high quality tahini.” Many ingredients are organic, sourced locally or come directly from the Mediterranean region – like the spices and tahini sourced directly
from Israel.
The kitchen and bakery are open to the dining room, with
many of their homemade ingredients on display, like pickled
cauliflower and fresh bread. Fargian deferred to Scibelli’s restaurant experience when it came to space design, unless he felt
strongly about something. After all, Scibelli’s restaurants have
been some of the most successful in Charlotte, due in large part,
he believes, to his respect of the cuisine.
“I hate when chefs take something classic and dumb it down,”
he explains. “They take something, throw it in a pasta and call it
Carbonara. We try to stay true to the roots of the dish.” Scibelli
researches and consults with some of the best in the business
before he opens his restaurants. In fact, famed chef and owner
of Mediterranean restaurant Balaboosta in NY, Einat Admony
helped create the menu for YAFO, and renowned American
baker Peter Reinhart consulted on the recipe for the lafah (a
Mediterranean flatbread) – which means this cuisine is as close
as you can get to dining in Tel Aviv-Yafo. u
Frank Scibelli is the founder and operator of award-winning restaurants
including Mama Ricotta’s, Paco’s Tacos & Tequila, Midwood Smokehouse,
and a first-class catering operation, Plate Perfect Catering. YAFO Kitchen
is set to open at the end of February and will be located at Morrison
Place in Southpark. Follow Chef Shai Fargian on Instagram at

Decorating
Shutters Go Modern
By Brandy Snow
Traditional interior
shutters have long
been a staple in home
décor, offering
high-end custom
appeal. But as
design concepts
have evolved to
place more emphasis
on embracing
natural light and
featuring expansive
views, some designers
questioned if
plantation shutters
were an appropriate
choice in a
modern setting.
Tracy Delgado at The Louver Shop
of Greater Charlotte dissolves that notion,
suggesting that plantation shutters have
so many more options available today,
encompassing cutting-edge contemporary
themes splendidly.
“I work with many designers in the
Charlotte Metro area who, at first, resist
the idea of plantation shutters in contemporary homes, touting them as too
traditional,” says Delgado. “But with
samples, pictures and a little persuasion,
they have realized what a great versatile
option shutters can be, and now they have
become a star in urban design culture
where modern streamline appeal is
appreciated.”
Delgado predicts trends to go mod in
2016, trading in traditional aesthetics for
more streamlined and simplistic options,
accented by pastels, metallics and earthen-inspired materials to seamlessly bring
outside in.
“Increasingly busy lifestyles are driving
the modern trend, answering a call for
homeowners looking to keep things simple
and easy,” she explains. “Minimalism is
something I see more and more everyday
as people are downsizing and buying up
instead of out. There is a demand for no
frills and no fuss as the desire for convenience propels us toward a more urban
lifestyle. We recognize this trend and our
designs accommodate it beautifully.”
She says the rear-tilt feature with large
louvers lends an urban twist to interior
shutters, as do roller shades that effortlessly allow homeowners to go from
unencumbered views during the day to
total privacy at night. With a wide variety
of textures, colors and patterns available,
there are options galore for every
modern palette.
Delgado has more than 17 years of
experience in the industry, working
with Signature Shutters prior to the company’s August 2015 acquisition by The
Louver Shop. She is a former president
of the Charlotte chapter of The Interior
Design Society and has served as past
president advisor and trade liaison with
Charlotte-IDS. The Louver Shop has a
300,000-square-foot manufacturing
facility, producing four different shutter
lines – Classic, Louverwood, Heritage
and Signature – designed to suit every
budget and taste. The company also offers
a variety of other window treatments, is
a certified Hunter Douglas dealer, and
carries Timber and B&W Window
Fashions lines.
For homeowners interested in selecting window treatment to modernize their
space, Delgado suggests prioritizing
needs and determining the project
“decision-maker.”
“Itemize your needs to find what’s most
important, be it privacy, light control or
temperature control,” she offers. “Next,
determine what holds weight in your
decision process – is it functionality,
aesthetics or budget? Armed with this
knowledge, we can then properly identify
which products are best suited for each
customized look.”u

Decorating
Fire Up
Your Inner Dreamer
By Lee Rhodes
Wouldn’t it be
nice if the place
you called home
was also the house
of your dreams?
It’s easier said than done, of course, but you
can make it happen. You need forward-thinking design ideas
and innovative options for revitalizing your space. Bernhardt
Furniture and Caracole Home, side-by-side outlets located in
Granite Falls, N.C., are the perfect destinations for inspiring
the dreamer in you.
Bernhardt: The Magic of Stunning Interiors
After over 100 years as a family-owned business, Bernhardt
Furniture has more than mastered the art of crafting highquality furniture, though their outlet customers purchase at
tremendous savings. From classic traditional to transitional
styles in living room, dining room, and bedroom furniture
including rugs, wall art and lamps to complete your room design,
Bernhardt Outlet is what general manager Peg Hollifield calls
the Carolinas’ “best-kept secret.”
It’s no secret to interior designers, however, who frequent
Bernhardt Outlet to outfit entire rooms and homes for their
clients. The brand also resonates with resellers, home stagers
and of course, savvy consumers. Bernhardt Outlet is unique
for selling first-quality, discontinued merchandise in addition
to transit-damaged items at marked-down prices. If a customer
wants items repaired, the Bernhardt Outlet repair department is
available.
People flock from states away to find the gems of Bernhardt
Outlet, and the company ships their merchandise all over the
country. With 35 years in the furniture business, Peg reiterates
that Bernhardt Outlet is the best-kept secret in the industry.
Caracole: The Ultimate in Creativity
By definition, the word Caracole refers to a slow, turning
movement. In the equestrian sport of dressage, it is a graceful
half-turn executed by a horse and rider.
In the world of furniture, Caracole represents a beautiful turn
in a new direction. The company makes the process of fulfilling
customers’ home furnishing dreams easier, more affordable and
– most of all – fun.
Launched in October of 2009, Caracole is sold in all 50 states
and 40 countries around the world. The brand embodies a vision
of a high-style furniture line that has personality, is playful and
offers exceptional value. By using materials that are unique, and
creating individual pieces rather than collections, Caracole offers
a new genre in furniture design: distinctive pieces for every room
of the home that are creative and sophisticated. Additionally,
Caracole disregards the notion that particular pieces must reside
in particular rooms.
In 2012, the company added Caracole Couture, a custom
upholstery line for the designer or consumer who wants to put
their own signature on incredible silhouettes and access virtually
infinite possibilities for personalization. Separately, the Caracole
Modern line offers hidden electronic charging stations, storage
options and a simplified approach to life’s busy day-to-day.
Overall, the Caracole brand is a highly edited portfolio of
furnishings defined by exceptional style. Each piece is a breath
of fresh air – infinitely adaptable and ultimately unique.u
If you’re looking for a treasure trove of home design ideas, call
828-313-0795, email [email protected], or visit 4916 Hickory
Boulevard, Granite Falls, NC (just two miles north of Hickory and a
one-hour drive from Charlotte). Go right next door to browse the
Caracole outlet at 4930 Hickory Boulevard in Granite Falls or find a
dealer near you by visiting www.caracole.com or calling 828-313-1290.

New Old
Celebrates
a New Year
We at New Old Custom Homes look forward
to all of the amazing opportunities the New Year
will bring and we’re especially excited to be the
newest Contributing Editor for Charlotte Urban
Home Magazine!
New Old is a multi-award-winning boutique
luxury design/build firm known for balancing
classic design principles with innovative ideas.
Every year at this time, our phone starts ringing
off the hook as the rush of the holidays is over
and people are eager to put their dreams of
building their perfect home into action. Many aren’t quite sure where to start. We think
the first and most critical factor in building your new or renovating your “old” home is picking
the correct team right from the start. This “dream team” includes your builder, an architect or
plan designer, an interior designer or interior decorator and a landscape architect.
It’s so important to thoroughly research each member of your team. Building a home is
a really big project, in which you will need to work very closely and communicate very well
with everyone involved. In addition, each team member must also be willing and able to
work closely together to achieve a cohesive vision – your vision.
Not knowing where to turn, people will often choose professionals based on ratings,
recommendations or advertising, only to eventually run into frustrations, hurdles and
miscommunications they never saw coming. Selecting team members is not only about
credentials and rave reviews. Are they the right fit for you? Do they share your values and
your communication style? Are you comfortable with their process? Most importantly –
are they people you genuinely like and envision working closely with for a year or more?
At New Old, we believe that the design/build option can offer a real advantage for those
looking to take the stress and confusion out of homebuilding and renovation. As a design/
build company, our goals are to simplify and streamline the homebuilding process, and
provide you with a pleasant – and even fun – homebuilding experience.
With us, your crack team of competent professionals is already “pre-assembled” and ready
to evaluate your lot, develop your ideal floorplan and draw up the plans, help you select all
your interior and exterior finishes and even
handle your landscaping design.
We work with an incredible team of
dedicated local and national professionals,
tradesman and vendors who can help make
your dream home a reality. Our team may be
extensive, but at heart we’re a small boutique
firm that’s committed to offering exceptional
personal service. You will only ever have to
communicate with New Old – you can leave
all of the complicated project logistics to us.
The design/build option may not be the
right fit for everyone, as there are many
options to consider. But however you
choose to build your dream home, make
sure you have your own “dream team” in
place first to ensure a successful result! u
It’s a new year and
that means a fresh
start. “Out with the
old and in with the
new,” as they say!
Mary Ludemann is the founder of New Old Custom Homes and has been in designing and building homes for over 12 years. To discuss your
next dream build or renovation project, contact New Old at 704-975-5196 or for more information, visit www.newold.com or email them
at [email protected].

Early Pastels
On view through March 5, 2016
I believe that every artist has one medium that
determines the way he uses every other one...
In my work, the determining medium is pastel.
Significantly, it was the use of pastels that I could not
give up when I suffered a crisis of confidence...Pastel
was the thread that tied me to my past commitments.
And it was with pastels that I reestablished a solid
continuity once I had regained my confidence...

Room
to
Grow
I’ve been working
with Lori and
Brian Crowder
for a while now,
and have touched
about every
space in their
Southpark home.
The most recent room we tackled was
Finley’s nursery, their baby girl. Lori felt like
her room needed some attention and I had to
agree, having recently completed her son’s space
– after all, fair is fair! Throughout the downstairs we used purple
as an accent color, and Maggie, who took the
lead on this design, incorporated that same pop
of color as inspiration in the design of this space. Strong, saturated purples with a big dose of navy
and hot pink are a big change from the pastels of
Finley’s former nursery.
Maggie started by choosing graphic wallpaper
with purple, pink and navy, and placed the
paper on opposing walls so it doesn’t seem
overwhelming, yet still gives punch to the focal wall – which will soon house Finley’s
big-girl bed. In fact, all the items in this room are intended to grow with Finley, including
a more sophisticated side chair and bookcase, the large pouf (that all ‘tweens want) and a
mid-century campaign-style dresser. The large art over the crib was an easy DIY and age appropriate for the moment, but can
easily be switched out when that new bed arrives.
Using two bold prints in the rug and the wallpaper, Maggie wanted to keep the curtains
and chair more subtle, and then filtered in accessories that didn’t overpower any of the
design. Keeping the two sidewalls pale grey helped keep the room balanced and clean. Their time as babies is fleeting, so it’s a great idea to think about the longevity of a
nursery, designing it to grow with the child.u

#TrendingNow
One of the best
design quotes
I’ve found:
“Fashion is
temporary, but
style is eternal”
– Yves Saint Laurent –
When meeting with clients, many
homeowners ask if their selections
are trendy. By definition, the word
trend is “a general direction in
which something is developing or
changing.” To me, trendy is what’s
very popular right now. However,
that does NOT mean that it will
be out of fashion in a few short
years; white was once trendy, but
now it’s classic. Let’s be honest,
we get bored with certain colors,
fabrics, materials and shapes,
right? Unfortunately for most of us,
remodeling the kitchen when we
get bored is not an option, so well
thought out selections are critical.
Here are a few critical selections
to consider:
n Cabinetry selection for your renovation
is perhaps the biggest single expense
involved in your kitchen planning. Wellbuilt cabinetry should have a lifetime
warranty on the entire product. A painted
or stained cabinet should have a catalyzed
conversion varnish with a lifetime
warranty. The hinges should be soft closing
and glides should be full extension – also
with a lifetime warranty. The factory
that you choose should be involved in an
Environmental Stewardship program.
n Bold appliance colors can be overtly
trendy, while stainless steel is an elegant
choice that stands the test of time. It can
be used in any home style easily. Colorful
appliances are a fabulous focal point but be
prepared to embrace it for a LONG time!
Countertop
Appliance
Storage
n Countertop microwaves or large
portable appliances should be avoided for
a less cluttered look. Large drawers with
heavy-duty glides and non-skid mattes are the
perfect place to store these useful accessory
appliances out of view. Your contractor may
be able to provide wiring inside the cabinet
for easy use. Microwave drawers are now
designed to fit into a base cabinet or can be
designed into a pantry cabinet.
n Appliance garages in the vintage
“roll top” tambour design are just that…
vintage. After a few years of use the roll
top becomes difficult to raise and lower
and tends to look outdated. There are many
solutions to concealing appliances and
electronics, including pocket doors and
various lift systems. Each has a unique
application.
Sconce
Lighting
Stainless
Appliances
Wood
Countertop
n Backsplashes. For many years, the standard height of a
backsplash has been 18” high. Lately, this has been modified to
around 20”, which accommodates the new coffee stations that
are currently popular. Another new option includes skipping the
countertop-matching 4” backsplash and opting for a full height
backsplash using a complimentary material such as glass, metal,
stone or ceramic tile. This additional height gives the kitchen an
open feeling without losing valuable storage space.
n A successful lighting plan consists of layers of lighting, all
on dimmers. The areas of lighting include ceiling light focused
on the walk spaces, pendants over the island, interior cabinet
lighting for glass front or open cabinets, under cabinet or task
lighting, and toe kick lighting. Lamps and sconces are also
wonderful elements, if you have the counter or wall space.
n Countertop materials are one of the most exciting
selections in your kitchen or bath design. The price depends
on the availability and size of the project. Manufactured
Quartz, Quartzite, marble, concrete, walnut, stainless steel and
concrete are among the most popular. Each comes in different
thicknesses and a variety of colors and edge patterns.
n Hiring a professional becomes more important the
older I get – after all, time is money and when you hire a
professional, you are paying for years of training and experience.
Charlotte has a deep network of local and international design
professionals.
Let 2016 be the year that you design the kitchen of your
dreams!
