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)

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
the value of plant diversity

to be,” he explains. “Each rock has its

to just let it flow.” Romero creates numero

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]

architecture is only here in the southwest. I love
that your magazine celebrates that...the art, the
architecture, the landscape...all of it.“
