Beautiful, Functional, Yours!

Here at Legacy Kitchens, we know a thing or two about design. We know that designing your new kitchen is not about us. It’s about you.

So before we do a lot of talking, we do plenty of listening. We’ll learn about you. How you use your kitchen... and what you hate about it. What you need in your new kitchen... and how to make it work for you.

Then we’ll go to work doing what we love: creating a kitchen that’s not only beautiful, but functional. A kitchen designed to meet your specific needs and exceed your expectations.

You know what you want in your new kitchen... let us help bring those ideas to life.

My best friend growing up on a country lane in Wintersville, Ohio, was Patty Grimm.

Like me, Patty was one of seven kids, although her household had a decidedly more feminine atmosphere than ours, as there were four girls and three boys living there compared to our three-girl, four-boy arrangement.

I spent a good chunk of my childhood sitting at Patty’s kitchen table. We’d play Parcheesi so often that we didn’t need to count the spaces when we’d roll the dice. When I was lucky enough to be invited for lunch, grilled cheese was the standard fare. All this activity took place while we sat on a blue vinyl booth that wrapped around two sides of the table with its Formica Boomerang laminate top.

There are two things that belonged to Patty and her family that I still envy today: Their sandwich press—my fancy Panini maker can’t quite replicate its outcome—and that corner booth that would stick to the back of our legs in the summertime.

I love booths, but the timing or the configuration of space has never been right for me to have one of my own. So when Carole from Western Hills told me she had her kitchen designed to include a booth nook so she could enjoy a few moments gathered closely with her grandchildren, memories of my own came rushing back.

Kitchens are often the stage for what appear to be subtle, but are often special, moments in our lives. We want them to work equally well for our intimate family din-ners as they do for larger gatherings of friends and relatives. In this issue of Housetrends we introduce you to four local families as they share the heart of their home and what makes it special to them.

To round out our annual kitchen and bath theme, we also feature a dozen of our favorite master baths. We hope they inspire you to create a secluded sanctuary of your own.

And by the way, I’d say there’s a pretty good chance that Carole’s wish is going to come true.

Have fun looking,

Karen Bradner and the Housetrends staff

The telltale signs of a dated kitchen are easy to spot. It might be the paint color

on the walls, the knobs on the appliances, the faucet at the sink, or the laminate

on the countertops. F How do those compare to the signs of today’s kitchen?

F We’ve asked a cross section of Cincinnati area homeowners and the design-

ers behind their kitchens to share the latest and greatest in designs, features, and

appliances. Take a look at their choices to see how well your current kitchen

stands up. Or use their input to get cooking on your own remodel.

Hot trend LigHt it up

Kitchens need ambient, feature and practical lighting. “Lighting is vital,” says kitchen designer Dan Krage. “We used task under-cabinet lights and halogen lights mounted at the top of the cabi-nets. They provide a warmer light that makes the granite countertops spar-

kle—especially in the evening.”

TransiTional over TradiTionalFor the first time since the

NKBA began tracking annual design trends, traditional is no longer the most popular design. Transitional, which is a blend of traditional and contemporary, is now the

most common style.

shifT in The woodCherry wood has consistently been the

first or second most popular type of wood for cabinetry, jockeying for the top

spot with maple each year. However, designers are slowly shifting away from

it. Some lesser-used woods being speci-fied more often: oak (now 22%); walnut (13%); birch (15%), and bamboo, which has doubled from 5% last year to 10%.

up 20%. Compact fluorescent lights usage is down 10%.The U.S. ban on newlyproduced incandescent bulbs goes into effect:

A closer look at a handful of 2012’s great kitchen appliancesBy Hilary Daninhirsch

The rest of the world has gone

high-tech—why not your kitchen?

Today’s homeowners have a myriad

of new and intuitive options to propel

their kitchen appliances into the next

generation of technology. Funky

design, advanced function and

energy efficiency are at the forefront.

Whether it’s a dishwasher that

is as silent as the night, a refrig-erator that chills your drink in min-

utes or a stovetop that practically

doubles as a personal chef, you can

find it here. Whether your kitchen

is your comfort zone or whether

you want to minimize the time you

spend there, these technologically

advanced products from

some of the world’s finest

appliance manufacturers

will make your life easier.

Dishwashers keep it clean

Bosch: Touting itself as the quietest brand of dishwasher in North America, the Bosch dishwasher sports sleek design and built-in hidden controls for a custom look; some feature recessed handles, others, a bar handle. Bosch received the Energy Star award this year for Sustained Excellence, reflecting its commitment to efficiency and green technology, including its optimum wash sensor and a concealed heating element. With such a large capacity, you can hold a dinner party for 14 and still fit all the dishes into one load.ABOVE AND RIGHT: Photos courtesy of Bosch


Fisher & Paykel: Fisher & Paykel’s revolutionary Double Dish Drawer fea-tures a one touch operation, separate drawers, and allows for independent wash loads and multiple cycles. Additional features include a selection of water pressure variants with precise water temperature settings and a flow-through detergent dispenser.ABOVE: Photos courtesy of Fisher & Paykel

GE: Though they offer a large vari-ety of design and color choices, technol-ogy and energy efficiency are staples of a GE dishwasher. Some of GE’s dishwasher technologies include: Smart Dispense, which automatically dispenses the correct amount of detergent, the Angled Rack Dry System, which angles glasses at the right degree for easier water run-off, and the Single Rack Wash Selection, which allows you to run just the top rack to save water and energy.

Refrigerators keep it cool

Sub-Zero: The Pro 48 from this industry darling and pioneer of dual refrigera-tion helps consumers keep food fresher, longer. Says Michele Bedard, vice president of marketing, “All Sub-Zero PRO 48 models meet rigorous Department of Energy standards for residential use, consuming less energy than a 100-watt light bulb over the course of a year.” Bedard points out other features that make it stand out, such as full extension drawers, interchangeable refrigerator drawer dividers, and a pair of two-gallon stainless steel washable and oven-safe bins that fit under any refrigerator shelf to store smaller items. She added, “The PRO 48 contains two compressors that help maintain proper air conditions and prevent odor transfer between the refrigerator and freezer sections.”ABOVE AND RIGHT: Photos courtesy of Sub-Zero



Liebherr: German manufacturer Liebherr produces built-in, freestanding and fully inte-grated refrigerators. Some features of Liebherr fridges include: separate cooling circuits, revers-ible doors, LED lighting, a large storage capacity, a touch control system behind the door, BioFresh drawers on telescopic rails and a self-closing mechanism on freezer drawers.ABOVE: Photo courtesy of Liebherr

kitchen trends

LG: A refrigerator should have a high IQ, right? For 2012, LG has updated its line of Smart ThinQ appliances. The new LG Smart Refrigerator hooks up to your home network and communicates with your mobile devices and television for a total food management system. For example, LG’s Smart Manager’s Freshness Tracker will advise you as to when the food in your fridge is about to expire. And if the age-old question “what’s for din-ner?” keeps you up at night, the LG tech-nology can actually suggest dinner based on the ingredients on hand. Thirsty for a cold soda or beer? With the Blast Chiller feature, you only have to wait a couple of minutes for your drink to reach “ahhhh” proportions.LEFT: Photo courtesy of LG

Cookware keeps it hot

Wolf: Michele Bedard says that Wolf ’s brand new sleek, stainless steel convection steam oven is 25% larger than others of its kind in the market. “The external boiler heats water quickly and efficiently and can be refilled without interrupting the cooking process. The oven’s perfected precision technology senses the proper timing and allocation of steam, consistently

creating ideal cooking environments for a broad range of foods and recipes.” And busy moms will appreciate the ability to decrease cooking time by up to 25%: “The Wolf Gourmet feature properly adjusts the time and temperature based on the amount and size of the food being prepared.” ABOVE: Photo courtesy of Wolf

Whirlpool: One of the largest capacity ovens on the market, the Aqualift Stove features an odor-free self-cleaning system, a temperature management system, and a timesaver convection cooking system. LEFT: Photo courtesy of Whirlpool



Thermador: Techies, meet Thermador’s Freedom Induction Cooktop, which won accolades for its innovative full-surface induction stove. There are no traditional burners, so the touch-screen interface senses a pot’s shape and position as well as con-trols timing and intensity. Electromagnets are the technology behind induction cooking, and this cooktop uses 48 heating elements equipped with sensorsABOVE: Photo courtesy of Thermador

Bertazzoni: This Italian manufacturer offers numerous choices in cookware, including electric, gas, induction, convection, built-in or freestanding. Its Segmented Cooktop received the Best in Show award at this year’s Kitchen and Bath Industry Show. This unique 36-inch cooktop combines the power of gas, electric griddle and induction cooking in one package.ABOVE: Photo courtesy of Bertazzoni

Miele: Gourmet cooks, and even not-so-gourmet cooks, will salivate over Miele’s innovative convection steam oven, available in a classic or Europa design. With over 140 settings, including some pre-programmed options, this oven will inject just the right amount of steam into your meals using the external steam gen-erator. Rather than depleting the health benefits of your food, the steam will ensure that the nutrients, as well as fla-vor, are cooked right in. There is a built-in option for this oven.

Unusual Plants to

Spice up the Landscape

by

Sue Trusty

When I take a look around my neighborhood, I see the

same plant palette repeated over and over: Red maple,

ornamental pear and crabapple trees; Boxwoods, yews,

and burning bushes; Daylilies, hosta and rudbeckia. While

these well-adapted favorites may be attractive and reliable,

it’s time to switch things up a bit. F Our dry summers and

unpredictable winters can be hard on landscape plants, per-

haps leading people to think that only a few dozen tough

species can be reliably grown here. This attitude leads to

the over-planting of narrow selection plants. It’s time to

break out of the mold and plant something different! F

We asked plant experts from our local parks and botanical

gardens to recommend some foolproof plants that are not

so common. These plants are rock-solid selections for our

climate, yet a bit out of the ordinary. And although they

may be less well known, they are available at better plant

nurseries. It’s well worth seeking them out to add a little

variety to the landscape.continued >

Amazingannualsand perennials

Indian pink (Spigelia marilandi-ca) is a native perennial that will do well in full sun to part shade.

Attractive foliage is topped by brilliant red trumpet-like blossoms with bright yellow tips spilling out. “This is a real show-stopper in late spring, with occasional flowers later if dead-headed. We always get comments about this plant from our visitors,” says Chris Jensen, horticultur-ist at Wegerzyn Gardens MetroPark in Dayton.

Chris also recommends nod-ding ladies’ tresses (Spiranthes cernua var. odorata). This is a

stunning native orchid for moist to wet soils in sun or a little shade. It has foot-long spiral spikes with small white bell shaped flowers that are charmingly fra-grant. It spreads slowly by underground rhizomes to increase its size. Fabulous, and definitely not ordinary!

Crimson Fans mukdenia (Mukdenia rossii ‘Karasuba’) is grown primarily for its foli-

age, in part or light shade. It makes a two-foot clump with small white flowers. In fall the fan-shaped leaves turn bright red with green centers. “It is very attractive, and although described as preferring moist soil, it has done much better for us in dry areas, once established,” says Chris.

Another splendid plant for part sun or shade is the Italian arum (Arum italicum

‘Marmoratum’). “It sends up an abun-dance of arrow-shaped leaves that are dramatically patterned with silver in late summer. They look like they should turn to mush with the first frost,” says Chris, “but stay great looking all winter! In early summer they send up white peace lily-like flowers, followed by spectacular red ber-ries. Then the plant disappears until the next late summer.”

Golden Hakone Grass (Hakenochloa macra ‘Aureola’) is a fine textured grass for

the shade, and a favorite of Steve Foltz, director of horticulture at the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden. “It has golden yellow foliage on an 18-inch tall by two-foot wide plant. It mixes well with other shade plants like hosta, epimedium and hellebores. This is one of the nicest shade plants for the garden,” he says.

Purple Smoke blue indigo (Baptisia ‘Purple Smoke’) is

an outstanding perennial for the full sun garden. It features pale smoky blue flowers in spring. After the flowers fade, you are left with an attractive grey-green, fine textured plant with interesting seedpods. “It’s one of the best baptisias on the market,” says Steve.

Sinonme toad lilies (Tricyrtis ‘Sinonme’) are pretty perenni-als that send up mysterious,

orchid-like blooms in the fall, a time when most plants have finished blooming for the season. “Some forms of Tricyrtis have not been hardy here, but ‘Sinonme’ has done well for us,” says Kathy Burkholder, horticulturist at Ohio State University’s Chadwick Arboretum and Learning Gardens. Plant them in shade and moist soil, near a patio or pathway, where you can look closely.

Variegated Solomon’s seal (Polygonatum odoratum ‘Variegatum’) is a classic peren-

nial beauty for the woodland garden. Arching burgundy stems gracefully carry the white-edged foliage, which is beautiful in cut flower arrangements, too. In spring, white bell-shaped flowers dangle in pairs and give off a delicate lily-like fragrance. Kathy notes that this plant tolerates dry soils under the tree canopy, where it will spread slowly to form a colony.

The Rozanne geranium (Geranium ‘Rozanne’) is an easy, carefree, spreading herba-

ceous perennial. Attractive, deeply cut green foliage turns reddish-brown in fall. It is topped with beautiful, large blue flow-ers from early summer to frost. “This is the most prolific blue-flowered geranium, blooming from June through October in our gardens,” says Kathy. “It is disease and pest free, and deer resistant.”

Kathy is excited about the increasing popularity of the various plants we call elephant

ears (Colocasia, Alocasia, and Xanthosoma species). These annuals are the drama queens of the garden, having boldly color-ful foliage or huge leaves with a tropical feel. Some forms do well in sun, while oth-ers prefer shade. They are all nice as accent plants in containers.

Margie Radebaugh, the Director of Horticulture and Education at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, recommends the lacebark pine (Pinus

bungeana). This is a slow-growing conifer which can eventually reach fifty feet in height. Over time, its exfoliating bark reveals a patchwork of white, olive, light purple and silver, providing all-season interest.

According to Margie, one of our finest spring blooming multi-stemmed trees or large shrubs is the fringe tree (Chionanthus virginicus). Also called old-man’s beard,

this plant is native throughout the Southeastern states. The snow-white flowers are produced in loose, terminal six-inch-long panicles that have the ethereal look of puffy white clouds. Flowers are followed by blue-black fruit that attracts birds.

Margie also recommends the bottlebrush buckeye (Aesculus parviflora). This is an extraordinary suck-ering shrub reaching eight to twelve feet in height.

Medium to dark green summer foliage turns yellow-green in fall. The majestic white flower panicles are up to a foot long in late June to July. Plant this native shrub in moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter in full sun to shade.

The Palibin lilac (Syringa meyeri ‘Palibin’) is a small, compact lilac that reaches just four to five feet in height, making it exceptionally useful in small gardens.

It blooms heavily, starting at a young age, with reddish purple buds opening to light pink, very fragrant flowers. “And,” adds Margie, “unlike most lilacs, it is extremely resistant to mildew!” It prefers full sun or very light shade, and average, well-drained soil.

Amazing Grace weeping katsura (Cercidiphyllum japonicum ‘Amazing Grace’) is a graceful weeping tree for the landscape. Fall color is pale-yellow and emits a

burnt sugar smell as the leaves fall. It prefers good, well-drained soils and the ability to water during periods of drought. “This is one of the least known, yet best weeping plants around,” says Steve.

Steve also recommends the Tangerine Beauty crossvine (Bignonia capreolata ‘Tangerine Beauty’). The foliage is glossy dark green and mostly evergreen. The flowers

appear from late April to mid-May. “This native vine grows in shade in the wild but prefers full sun in the landscape,” he says. “This is one of the lesser known native plants in our collection.”

The information provided herein is based upon assumptions and information provided by reputable sources, including the National Weather Service, the US Energy Information Service (annual electric utility data) as well as private entities such as RESNET (HERS rating methodology) which are not affiliated with Potterhill Homes. The estimated energy costs and savings take into account typical usage and costs at a given point in time for a specific model of home in a specific location. Actual energy costs will vary and will depend on many variable factors and a change in any of these variables or assumptions could result in reduced savings or higher energy costs. Such variables include, but are not limited to, homeowner behavior, actual utility usage and consumption, the fluctuating cost of energy, the fluctuating price paid for SREC’s, actual weather conditions, and home and equipment maintenance over time. Potterhill Homes does not guarantee or warrant actual energy costs or cost savings.

* Consult a tax professional regarding the solar tax credits available. Potterhill Homes does not guarantee tax credit availability or eligibility.

It starts with a better built home. At Potterhill, we’ve built hundreds of homes with dozens of variations of energy efficient products and processes. We believe we have found the best way to build a home that has zero utility bills, and we’ve built our Homearama 2012 house just that way.

This home is sure to be a show stopper featuring Potterhill Homes’ unique modern eclectic design style and superior energy efficiency features like a 5 Kilowatt solar panel system. Upon entering this house you will be welcomed by a soaring two story foyer. This home features a kitchen fit for a chef, with all the bells and whistles including a white porcelain farmhouse style sink and subway tile backsplash. With arched openings, a family room and hearth room, 2 fireplaces, foot lockers and computer nook at the garage entry, coffered ceiling in the study, built in bookshelves, hardwood staircase, outdoor kitchen and creek-side fire pit, no detail has been overlooked.

Solar PanelsA 5 Kilowatt solar panel system is installedon THE ZERO ENERGY HOME at Homearama.This system is eligible for a 30% Federal Tax Credit*. In addition, the solar panels will earn income for the homeowner by generating Solar Renewable Energy Credits (or SREC’s). Power companies will buy these SREC’s for cash, and the solar panels will help offset the energy bill. Solar is the energy option that actually pays for itself!

Elegance and EfficiencyA home has to be practical and beautiful too. Potterhill homes feature striking designs, elegant details, and practical function-ality. Great homes, great neighborhoods, great prices. That’s Potterhill. Green is not a fad. It is a responsible way to build and Potterhill Homes is committed to the cause for the long haul. Some day, all homes will be built to this standard. But, with Potterhill Homes, “some day” is today.

Potterhill Homes offers Solar Panels to help achieve zero utility costs.

Insulationmade from recycled newspaper reduces air infiltration, saving money while also saving the planet.

The Artisan once again sets the standard for custom luxury, one-of-a-kind homes. It features over 6,000 sq. ft. of finished

interior space and showcases many of the selections and features that are standard in

all Artisan Estate Homes. The open floor plan (designed by the builder) includes

a soaring great room open to the custom kitchen and hearth room, making it per-fect for entertaining family and friends.

Be sure to look up because Artisan Estate Homes showcases the incredible ceilings they’re famous for throughout the home.

The master suite is privately located on the opposite side of the home’s first floor

guest suite so it’s perfect for in-laws or out-of-town guests. The homeowners asked

for a unique lower level that would appeal to their teen sons and their friends so it

includes multiple game areas, an over-the-top theater, and more.

BuilderBrent WalkerWalker Homes513-480-4247walkerhomes.com

Walker Homes traces its roots to 1975, when Brent’s father Dennis first start-ed work in the Cincinnati homebuild-ing industry. Brent Walker literally grew up in homebuilding. Many of his

childhood memories center around doing odd jobs on build sites, and later helping grow the family business during summer breaks from studying engineering at Vanderbilt University. He joined his father after graduation and became a full-fledged member of the family business, supervising build sites and modernizing a number of the company’s office processes. Dennis passed away in 2008, but Brent’s commitment to honor the family legacy continued. He launched Walker Homes in 2010 to meet a growing demand for quality homes custom tailored to the client’s unique needs, wants and budget.
