Designer Moment - My Color Choices

My top picks for interior walls at this time:

French Gray Linen (Porter) A very muted gray-green can act as a good body color for a warm OR cool scheme. It's very transitional.

Silver Mist (Sherwin Williams) - Everyone wants that soft silvery, robin's egg blue right now. This one is again, very muted and transitional.

Seal Skin (Sherwin Williams) - A very deep brown-black. Amazing contrast against the two colors above.

and, my old standby

Fencepost White (Sherwin Williams - from their old exterior palette). Transitions with different color palettes from room to room. Don't be deceived by the word "white", this is more of a muted putty tone that contrasts great with white trim.

Paint finish should always be FLAT on walls, if possible. EGGSHELL for areas that need to be scrubbed. And HIGH GLOSS for trimwork or paneling.

Mid-Century Modern - Coming Soon!

This is your teaser! My group will be marketing a fabulous Mid-Century Modern, Evans Woollen original this summer.

Gorgeous setting. All original interior details intact. Panoramic views. Expansive walls of glass. Travertine floors.

Amazing.

JONATHAN'S MENU SELECTION: Behold, The Pretzel Roll

I had no idea what I was missing until last Wednesday.

Apparently, every Wednesday is the "BBQ Pulled Pork" special at Gelato Da Vinci up here at Clay Terrace.

I have to say, I've been a resident worker here at Clay Terrace for the better part of a year, and I had given Gelato Da Vinci a chance early on, and then immediately dismissed it in loyalty (and snobbery) to Petit Chou - my first love.

Well Gelato Da Vinci has been trying to play catch up for the last few months, refining it's menu and capitalizing on the overflow from it's successful Petit neighbor next door. But it wasn't until a friend of mine insisted that I try the BBQ Pulled Pork special, that I reluctantly passed by my Petit Chou comfort zone, and ventured into a new enlightenment.

See, there's no question that I received an ample serving of delicious pulled pork smothered in a sweet and savory bbq sauce, but the blinders came off with my first taste of a pretzel roll.

Amazing. Where has this bread product been all my life???

Apparently at Gelato Da Vinci - and many other locations, because when I started to spread the gospel of the pretzel roll, my friends were like "um, duh, I buy them at Trader Joe's."

So friends, if you've lived in the darkness of baked-goods ignorance, as I had until last Wednesday, please step into the light, wait until Wednesday, head to Gelato Da Vinci, and have the "BBQ Pulled Pork" Special on a pretzel roll.

Prepare to be delighted.

Tackett Residence, Noblesville

tackett . residence

Noblesville, Indiana 1952
Designer: John Pecsok

The Tackett's were my first "modern" clients searching for a home. We had actually set eyes on the same modern home in Washington Township - before we knew each other - and my wife and i sort of bought it out from underneath them. It was all for the better though, because a year or so later, we stumbled across this residence in Noblesville, which proved to be a perfect match for this couple...
