COMMENT
In our January issue, we celebrate our 35th
Anniversary with a special focus on products
Made in Arizona. We tell the stories behind
hand-picked, regionally based goods, and turn
the spotlight on the talented artists, designers
and visionaries who create and market these
world-class objects.
Building on our successful launch of this focus
lastyear,ourFebruaryeditionfeaturesLeading
Women.Weprofileinfluentialwomenindesign,
fashion and the arts in our area, and share their
viewpointsonmyriadtopics,includingwhatthey
love about living in the Valley and what inspires
them in work and life.
A perennial favorite, our March issue reveals
the 2016 winners of the Phoenix Home &
Garden Masters of the Southwest award.
Top professionals in the Valley who have made
lasting and significant contributions to the
Southwest lifestyle are regaled inside this much-
anticipated edition.
Garden & Outdoor Living gets special
attention in April. We share the latest trends
in landscaping, pool and spa design, outdoor
furnishings and lighting, while folding in
simple, but special, fresh-air entertaining ideas,
food and fun.
Our May issue zeroes in on Smart Homes.
Technology makes our homes safer, and more
convenient, connected and energy-efficient.
It can also make our personal spaces more
colorful, visually pleasing and unique. We look
into the softer side of smart.
Celebrity Homes grace our June issue, adding
a new category to our editorial mix. Super stars
in sports, entertainment, the arts and media
invite readers into their residences, which are
as different and personal as the individuals and
families who call them home.
A focus on Art in July shows how important
and integrated visual beauty is to our lifestyle.
Whether unique to the Valley or from the
larger region, art in the home and in the garden
encompassesabroadanddiverserangeofcreative
approaches, materials, scales and applications.
In August we focus on Color in the Southwest.
Our climate, natural surroundings, light and
culture impact the way we see, use and think
of color. Certain hues are inherently at home in
the desert; others are more difficult to employ.
We help readers embrace color, both inside and
out of their abodes.
Our Design Innovation theme in September
reveals the 2016 ASID Design Excellence
Awards winners in the residential categories;
features sustainable architecture, interior
design and landscapes; and shares creative
advances of Southwest style.
While most of the rest of the country heads
indoors for fall and winter gatherings, we enjoy
Entertaining both inside and out. That is why
this is such a timely focus for our October issue.
Our Dream Homes issue in November is
a cornerstone of Phoenix Home & Garden. A
favorite of readers and business partners alike, it
and our accompanying Home Tour delights with
breathtaking homes, gardens, pools and casitas
from the Valley’s best design professionals.
Holiday Gatherings are central to December.
With a wealth of inspiring food, fun and
decorations, we offer personal stories sprinkled
with just the right amount of seasonal cheer!

Agood deal of artists push boundar
ies,
but some push a bit further,
whether
through
their subject
matter
or
with the materials
they use. In his compel-
ling series “Convers
ations with History,”
photogra
pher David Emitt Adams
uses
a complica
ted process
to expose images
of iconic desert landscap
es onto the
rusted litter he collects
there. “As long
as people have been in the America
n
West, they have found its barren landscap
e to
be ideal for dumping
garbage,”
says the Yuma-bo
rn
artist. “The objects
I use for my photos
are rem-
nants from people who have settled in the region or
trash left by those who were just passing
through.
”
To get the pictures
onto their atypical
canvases
,
Adams
employs
a wet-plat
e collodio
n process
pioneere
d in the 1850s. Used during the Civil War,
this photogra
phy techniqu
e requires
glass or metal
to be coated in collodion
, followed
by a dip in silver
nitrate—
renderin
g it light sensitive
. While the pre-
treated
surface
is still wet, Adams exposes
it to the
light within his camera
to capture
the images.
Open Dialogue
The complex
procedu
re results in sepia-ton
ed
pictures
that appear as though they’re from another
era. This antiquat
ed quality,
Adams
notes, pays
homage
to the scenes
captured
by famed early
photogra
phers, such as Timothy
O’Sulliv
an, who
showed
the world the magnific
ent beauty
of the
West through
the art of landscap
e photogra
phy.
“I’m using this historic
process
to speak of contem-
porary issues,”
says Adams.

QHow do you balance
style and function
in
kitchen
design?
A
In a kitchen,
style is
not as importan
t as
the function
al layout. The
work triangle,
which is the
line between
the sink, range
and refrigera
tor, needs to
be between
12 and 26 feet
in order for the kitchen
to
be efficient
and to reduce
user fatigue.
Also, you
need to include
at least
one countert
op next to the
refrigera
tor and one on each
side of the cooktop
for easy
prep, cooking
and cleanup.
QWhat are some of your
favorite
design
ideas
for this importan
t room?
A
I’m having fun mixing
cabinetr
y; try a two-
tone approach
where upper
cupboard
s are different
than
the lower ones or the island
cabinets
contrast
with wall-
mounted
cupboard
s. It puts a
personal
spin on the room. I
also like to mix up material
s
and finishes.
For instance
, use
the same wood, but place a
matte finish next to a glossy
one. Another
favorite
we did
was a waterfall
island with
3-D travertin
e tile. It has
great impact because
it can be
seen from the front door.
QHow can readers
update
their kitchens
inexpens
ively?
A
By changing
up the
backspla
sh with glass,
metal or stone mosaic tile.
That area is only 14 to 18
inches high, so not much tile
is needed.
Or, they can just
do a 6-inch band for even
more savings.
Another
idea
is to add or change
hardwar
e
on cabinets
. Just like putting
on earrings,
adding jewelry
to your kitchen
can dress it
up instantly
. Do more with
less, and use hardwar
e only on
upper cabinets
, which are the
ones that everyone
sees.
QWhat Southwe
st
design
elements
work
well in kitchens?
A
Rustic woods, such
as hickory
and alder
with their natural
knots,
bring in a Southwe
stern
flavor, as do wrought
iron or
applianc
es with oil-rubbe
d
finishes.
Adding
red and/
or turquois
e to the color
scheme
or choosing
regional-
favorite
copper for hardwar
e
or a range hood also works.
Hardwar
e that incorpor
ates
coral, turquois
e or jasper is
another
touch to consider
.

QWhat are some tips formaking
a home’s
interiorlook fresh and cool?
AMaking
subtle
alteratio
ns is a greatway to mark the change
ofseason.
Adding
new accents—candles,
pillows,
placemats, floral arrangem
ents—freshens
an atmosph
ere.For a beachy feel, considerlinen or denim slipcover
s and
pillows.
Eliminat
ing clutter,or such items as table runnersand bulky throws,
also helpslighten up a space.
QAre there any easyways to cool downoutdoor
spaces?
AThis can be tough inthe desert. For shadecover, vented patio umbrella
s
are a good choice, especiall
y
during the monsoon
season.The vented flap in the fabricallows wind (and heat) toescape without
toppling
theumbrella
. To cool patios,consider
adding exterior
solarshades,
which can be easilyrolled up or down. Durableoutdoor
curtains
are anotheroption,
offering
instant
stylewhile filtering
the sun.
QHow do you dress a bedfor cool sleeping
?
AStart with sheets andbedding
made fromnatural
fibers. They absorband wick moisture
betterthan synthetic
fibers. Highthread-c
ount sheets can feelheavy, so consider
somethin
g
more lightweig
ht for summer.This is also a good time toswitch out comforte
rs withcoverlets
. For somethin
geven lighter,
and for a morefinished
look, use a duvetcover (without
the comforte
r
inside) as a bed cover.
QWhat interior
designtricks provide
a mentalretreat
from hot temps?
AColor and fabric are thetop two. Summer
huesrange from vibrant
to thebeautifu
l colors of fruits andvegetable
s. Choose
accentsfor the home in the same fun
colors in which you mightdress. When it comes tofabrics,
think light—lig
ht in
color and light in weight—anything
that will give theillusion
of lighter,
brighter,cooler. Sheer curtains
are a
great example
.

CAPTURING FRIDA
Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, who is renowned for her haunting and
emblematic style of art, used her paintings to capture the many facets of her
passionate and tumultuous life. However, a recent discovery revealed
another medium favored by the late artist: photography. Of the 6,500
images uncovered at her longtime home in Mexico City, 240 of the images
have been specially selected for the exhibit “Frida Kahlo: Her Photos.”
Showing at the Heard Museum from Oct. 31, to Feb. 8, 2016, pictures
snapped by Frida and those closest to her offer a fresh, candid insight into
the iconic painter’s world. (heard.org)

businesses to offer unique bouquets filled
with fresh seasonal blooms. The site also
ensures that customers love their arrangements
before they are sent, sending “BloomSnap”
photos of flowers to be reviewed before delivery. “We
offer 100 percent transparency between consumers and
their local florists. They are able to compare reviews,
prices and each florist’s unique style all in one place,” says
co-founder David Daneshgar. “Most importantly, BloomNation
gives local florists the freedom to sell their original creations
and allows them to fall back in love with what they do.”

ike many first-tim
ers to Sedona,
Ariz., Terry and Jack Drucker
con-
tracted
“red rock fever” upon seeing
the area’s mesmeri
zing geologic
al forma-
tions. Visiting
the Grand Canyon
State
from Los Angeles
, they had planned
to
simply enjoy lunch in Sedona
before con-
tinuing
on their way. “Instead
, we crossed
the street to a real estate agent’s
office,
and she drove us around
to view houses,”
Terry recalls.
Ultimate
ly, they purchase
d a home on
a half-acre
lot covered
with cinder rocks.
“It had a flat front yard and entrance
that
I could navigate
in my wheelch
air,” says
Terry. Over time, the couple modified
the
backyard
slope for accessibi
lity, incorpo-
rating a terraced
wheelch
air ramp that
leads from the patio to a planting
area
with chair-he
ight raised beds.
The Drucker
s are passiona
te wildlife
gardene
rs. Undeter
red by their initial
lack of experien
ce with local flora, they
dug right in. “My job is to point; Jack’s
job is to pick up the shovel,”
says Terry
with a laugh. The division

“In our Los Angeles

says Terry. “It taught me

From innovations in lighting and home

“Colors for Your Every Mood,”
describes the red wine tone as a
highly varietal shade. “Marsala makes
for an elegant, grounded statement color
on its own or a strong accent for many
other colors,” she notes. “Because of
its burnished undertones, it is highly
compatible with amber, golden yellows,
Adding Color at Home
Selecting the perfect hue can bring vitality
to your home and life
BY SHAWNDREA CORBIN
SAVVY SHOPPER
A
fter a couple of years of rather
muted colors dominating home
fashion, things are getting more
interesting. There are lots of new options
when it comes to choosing color for inte-
riors. From the color du jour to pops of
vivid hues, colors set the tone for your
home and your mood.
TREND SETTERS
Trending hues range from
dark, rich tones to light, pale tints.
Marsala, Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year,
for instance, is a bold neutral with a flair
for the dramatic.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of
the Pantone Color Institute and author of
Pantone’s Color of the Year—Marsala—plays an important role in this Paradise Valley home designed
by Jo Taulbee-Flittie. The rich, naturally warm hue is seen in pillows, art and the rug topping the
center-stage bench, adding interest and character to a classic, neutral Southwest setting.

umber, greens like turquoise and teal, and
vibrant blues.”
On the other end of the spectrum,
Guilford Green, Benjamin Moore’s annual
color pick, is a silvery hue that’s equally at
home in cool modern spaces as it is in tra-
ditional settings. Ellen O’Neill, creative
director for Benjamin Moore, says the soft
avocado tone connects nature with inte-
rior spaces and pairs well with an abun-
dance of more energetic color schemes.
Also noteworthy is a new collection of
colors by Dunn-Edwards Paints called
Back to the Ranch. Inspired by desert
modern architecture and ranch-style
SAVVY SHOPPER
homes, the collection adds a Southwest
touch to popular shades. Hues such as
Taliesin Blue, High Noon and Santa Fe
Sunrise take their cues from desert icons
and the environment.
GETTING IT JUST RIGHT
There are lots of ways to get good advice
about choosing a unique color for your
home. We asked Maria Killam, color
expert and author, and Mary Meinz,
Scottsdale-based interior designer and a
2015 Phoenix Home & Garden Masters of
the Southwest award winner, for their
insights on the subject.
LEFT: Cobalt blue has
a cooling effect on
rooms and is a favorite
of Valley interior
designers. Here, a rug
in the royal color
grounds a dining space
overlooking the desert.
ABOVE: Hues from the
Southwest are
trending. These three
new colors are from
Dunn-Edwards Paints’
Back to the Ranch
collection: High Noon,
Santa Fe Sunset and
Taliesin Blue.
Killam suggests introducing color into
a neutral setting in small, medium and
large graduations. “For example, small
would be like a lamp, medium might be
throw pillows, and large could be an area
rug,” she explains. The technique makes
the use of bolder colors look congruent
and intentional, compared with, say, sev-
eral bright cushions in an otherwise gray
room, which “never looks quite right.”
The color expert also advises against
picking a favorite color but instead rec-
ommends finding ones that pair well with
the rest of your home’s existing finishes,
flooring, furniture and accessories.

“The fact that [Phoenix Home & Garden]
showcases what's unique about the southwest
[is what I like]. Contemporary can be anyplace.
Victorian can be anyplace. But southwest
architecture is only here in the southwest. I love
that your magazine celebrates that...the art, the
architecture, the landscape...all of it.“

You all at Phoenix Home & Garden have been so very good to me; I
deeply appreciate all that you do. We have had several new clients
pop up since the Home Tour. So much business has come to my

From the enjoyment and learning I have personally experienced about
product, events, vendors, food and local buzz to the comments and business
I have secured from being published and/or advertising in this amazing

interested in knowing more about the Southwest, moving here, wishing they
were moving here or simply for great reading and photography concerning
what the Scottsdale and neighboring communities are about.

  • 2. 15169 N. Scottsdale Rd., Ste. 310 | Scottsdale, AZ 85254 | (480) 664-3960 | phgmag.com COMMENT In our January issue, we celebrate our 35th Anniversary with a special focus on products Made in Arizona. We tell the stories behind hand-picked, regionally based goods, and turn the spotlight on the talented artists, designers and visionaries who create and market these world-class objects. Building on our successful launch of this focus lastyear,ourFebruaryeditionfeaturesLeading Women.Weprofileinfluentialwomenindesign, fashion and the arts in our area, and share their viewpointsonmyriadtopics,includingwhatthey love about living in the Valley and what inspires them in work and life. A perennial favorite, our March issue reveals the 2016 winners of the Phoenix Home & Garden Masters of the Southwest award. Top professionals in the Valley who have made lasting and significant contributions to the Southwest lifestyle are regaled inside this much- anticipated edition. Garden & Outdoor Living gets special attention in April. We share the latest trends in landscaping, pool and spa design, outdoor furnishings and lighting, while folding in simple, but special, fresh-air entertaining ideas, food and fun. Our May issue zeroes in on Smart Homes. Technology makes our homes safer, and more convenient, connected and energy-efficient. It can also make our personal spaces more colorful, visually pleasing and unique. We look into the softer side of smart. Celebrity Homes grace our June issue, adding a new category to our editorial mix. Super stars in sports, entertainment, the arts and media invite readers into their residences, which are as different and personal as the individuals and families who call them home. A focus on Art in July shows how important and integrated visual beauty is to our lifestyle. Whether unique to the Valley or from the larger region, art in the home and in the garden encompassesabroadanddiverserangeofcreative approaches, materials, scales and applications. In August we focus on Color in the Southwest. Our climate, natural surroundings, light and culture impact the way we see, use and think of color. Certain hues are inherently at home in the desert; others are more difficult to employ. We help readers embrace color, both inside and out of their abodes. Our Design Innovation theme in September reveals the 2016 ASID Design Excellence Awards winners in the residential categories; features sustainable architecture, interior design and landscapes; and shares creative advances of Southwest style. While most of the rest of the country heads indoors for fall and winter gatherings, we enjoy Entertaining both inside and out. That is why this is such a timely focus for our October issue. Our Dream Homes issue in November is a cornerstone of Phoenix Home & Garden. A favorite of readers and business partners alike, it and our accompanying Home Tour delights with breathtaking homes, gardens, pools and casitas from the Valley’s best design professionals. Holiday Gatherings are central to December. With a wealth of inspiring food, fun and decorations, we offer personal stories sprinkled with just the right amount of seasonal cheer! Karol DeWulf Nickell Editor Welcome to Phoenix Home & Garden and to our 35th year of bringing the best of Southwest living to our loyal, affluent, engaged and home- centric audience. 2 0 1 5 35 Y E A R S

In his compel- ling series “Convers ations with History,” photogra pher David Emitt Adams uses a complica ted process to expose images of iconic desert landscap es onto the rusted litter he collects there. “As long as people have been in the America n West, they have found its barren landscap e to be ideal for dumping garbage,” says the Yuma-bo rn artist. “The objects I use for my photos are rem- nants from people who have settled in the region or trash left by those who were just passing through. ” To get the pictures onto their atypical canvases , Adams employs a wet-plat e collodio n process pioneere d in the 1850s. Used during the Civil War, this photogra phy techniqu e requires glass or metal to be coated in collodion , followed by a dip in silver nitrate— renderin g it light sensitive . While the pre- treated surface is still wet, Adams exposes it to the light within his camera to capture the images. Open Dialogue The complex procedu re results in sepia-ton ed pictures that appear as though they’re from another era. This antiquat ed quality, Adams notes, pays homage to the scenes captured by famed early photogra phers, such as Timothy O’Sulliv an, who showed the world the magnific ent beauty of the West through the art of landscap e photogra phy. “I’m using this historic process to speak of contem- porary issues,” says Adams.

A In a kitchen, style is not as importan t as the function al layout. The work triangle, which is the line between the sink, range and refrigera tor, needs to be between 12 and 26 feet in order for the kitchen to be efficient and to reduce user fatigue. Also, you need to include at least one countert op next to the refrigera tor and one on each side of the cooktop for easy prep, cooking and cleanup. QWhat are some of your favorite design ideas for this importan t room? A I’m having fun mixing cabinetr y; try a two- tone approach where upper cupboard s are different than the lower ones or the island cabinets contrast with wall- mounted cupboard s. It puts a personal spin on the room. I also like to mix up material s and finishes. For instance , use the same wood, but place a matte finish next to a glossy one. Another favorite we did was a waterfall island with 3-D travertin e tile. It has great impact because it can be seen from the front door. QHow can readers update their kitchens inexpens ively? A By changing up the backspla sh with glass, metal or stone mosaic tile. That area is only 14 to 18 inches high, so not much tile is needed. Or, they can just do a 6-inch band for even more savings. Another idea is to add or change hardwar e on cabinets . Just like putting on earrings, adding jewelry to your kitchen can dress it up instantly . Do more with less, and use hardwar e only on upper cabinets , which are the ones that everyone sees. QWhat Southwe st design elements work well in kitchens? A Rustic woods, such as hickory and alder with their natural knots, bring in a Southwe stern flavor, as do wrought iron or applianc es with oil-rubbe d finishes. Adding red and/ or turquois e to the color scheme or choosing regional- favorite copper for hardwar e or a range hood also works. Hardwar e that incorpor ates coral, turquois e or jasper is another touch to consider . See Sources.

AMaking subtle alteratio ns is a greatway to mark the change ofseason. Adding new accents—candles, pillows, placemats, floral arrangem ents—freshens an atmosph ere.For a beachy feel, considerlinen or denim slipcover s and pillows. Eliminat ing clutter,or such items as table runnersand bulky throws, also helpslighten up a space. QAre there any easyways to cool downoutdoor spaces? AThis can be tough inthe desert. For shadecover, vented patio umbrella s are a good choice, especiall y during the monsoon season.The vented flap in the fabricallows wind (and heat) toescape without toppling theumbrella . To cool patios,consider adding exterior solarshades, which can be easilyrolled up or down. Durableoutdoor curtains are anotheroption, offering instant stylewhile filtering the sun. QHow do you dress a bedfor cool sleeping ? AStart with sheets andbedding made fromnatural fibers. They absorband wick moisture betterthan synthetic fibers. Highthread-c ount sheets can feelheavy, so consider somethin g more lightweig ht for summer.This is also a good time toswitch out comforte rs withcoverlets . For somethin geven lighter, and for a morefinished look, use a duvetcover (without the comforte r inside) as a bed cover. QWhat interior designtricks provide a mentalretreat from hot temps? AColor and fabric are thetop two. Summer huesrange from vibrant to thebeautifu l colors of fruits andvegetable s. Choose accentsfor the home in the same fun colors in which you mightdress. When it comes tofabrics, think light—lig ht in color and light in weight—anything that will give theillusion of lighter, brighter,cooler. Sheer curtains are a great example . See Sources.

Visiting the Grand Canyon State from Los Angeles , they had planned to simply enjoy lunch in Sedona before con- tinuing on their way. “Instead , we crossed the street to a real estate agent’s office, and she drove us around to view houses,” Terry recalls. Ultimate ly, they purchase d a home on a half-acre lot covered with cinder rocks. “It had a flat front yard and entrance that I could navigate in my wheelch air,” says Terry. Over time, the couple modified the backyard slope for accessibi lity, incorpo- rating a terraced wheelch air ramp that leads from the patio to a planting area with chair-he ight raised beds. The Drucker s are passiona te wildlife gardene rs. Undeter red by their initial lack of experien ce with local flora, they dug right in. “My job is to point; Jack’s job is to pick up the shovel,” says Terry with a laugh. The division of labor works beautifu lly, and the couple’s verdant and sustainab le landscap e is now designat ed a Certified Wildlife Habitat bytheNational Wildlife Federati on. Their yard whirs with activity. Hum- mingbird s flit through a spritzer shower set near their favorite agastach e plants; lizards rustle beneath protecti ve orna- mental grasses to forage for insects; and flowerin g shrubs are abuzz with bees gath- ering pollen and nectar. The pair created this lively environm ent by includin g essentia l elements of wild- life habitat: food, water, cover and space to rear young. And they maintain all of it without the use of herbicide s or pesticide s.

There are lots of new options when it comes to choosing color for inte- riors. From the color du jour to pops of vivid hues, colors set the tone for your home and your mood. TREND SETTERS Trending hues range from dark, rich tones to light, pale tints. Marsala, Pantone’s 2015 Color of the Year, for instance, is a bold neutral with a flair for the dramatic. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute and author of Pantone’s Color of the Year—Marsala—plays an important role in this Paradise Valley home designed by Jo Taulbee-Flittie. The rich, naturally warm hue is seen in pillows, art and the rug topping the center-stage bench, adding interest and character to a classic, neutral Southwest setting. KARENSHELL 026-030PHG0815SS_26.pgs 06.30.2015 16:46 28 PHGMAG.COM AUGUST 2015 umber, greens like turquoise and teal, and vibrant blues.” On the other end of the spectrum, Guilford Green, Benjamin Moore’s annual color pick, is a silvery hue that’s equally at home in cool modern spaces as it is in tra- ditional settings. Ellen O’Neill, creative director for Benjamin Moore, says the soft avocado tone connects nature with inte- rior spaces and pairs well with an abun- dance of more energetic color schemes. Also noteworthy is a new collection of colors by Dunn-Edwards Paints called Back to the Ranch. Inspired by desert modern architecture and ranch-style SAVVY SHOPPER homes, the collection adds a Southwest touch to popular shades. Hues such as Taliesin Blue, High Noon and Santa Fe Sunrise take their cues from desert icons and the environment. GETTING IT JUST RIGHT There are lots of ways to get good advice about choosing a unique color for your home. We asked Maria Killam, color expert and author, and Mary Meinz, Scottsdale-based interior designer and a 2015 Phoenix Home & Garden Masters of the Southwest award winner, for their insights on the subject. LEFT: Cobalt blue has a cooling effect on rooms and is a favorite of Valley interior designers. Here, a rug in the royal color grounds a dining space overlooking the desert. ABOVE: Hues from the Southwest are trending. These three new colors are from Dunn-Edwards Paints’ Back to the Ranch collection: High Noon, Santa Fe Sunset and Taliesin Blue. Killam suggests introducing color into a neutral setting in small, medium and large graduations. “For example, small would be like a lamp, medium might be throw pillows, and large could be an area rug,” she explains. The technique makes the use of bolder colors look congruent and intentional, compared with, say, sev- eral bright cushions in an otherwise gray room, which “never looks quite right.” The color expert also advises against picking a favorite color but instead rec- ommends finding ones that pair well with the rest of your home’s existing finishes, flooring, furniture and accessories.
