As I grow older, I’m starting to appreciate the wisdom of the universe and the beautiful cyclical nature of life. While the downturn in the economy has certainly caused some pain, most of us would have to be grateful for what we still have. Many things have changed in the last few years but what’s most important, family and friends, have remained. As we are poised to enter our sixth year producing Housetrends in Columbus, I can’t help but think kind thoughts about the people that have helped to build the magazine to the product it is today. One of those key people is editor Danielle Krouse, who is starting a new chapter in her life and moving to Cleveland. Former editor, Karen Bradner, will take over for Danielle and is excited to be joining us once again. In this issue, you’ll get an inside look at local interior designer, Rick Miller’s German Village home, which has been dressed in red for the holidays. Also featured is an outdoor holiday lighting tour and festive recipes, perfect for any party. We hope you appreciate our first annual interiors feature, where we asked local designers to show us their favorite trends for the upcoming year. Big plans for Housetrends in 2011, as with our digital twin, Housetrends. com. If you haven’t visited our website in a while, take a look because we’ve done a little remodeling. We’d love to hear from you on our Facebook page, so be sure to leave a comment or two!

SOAK IN STYLE
Discover today’s luxurious lot of bathtubs In 500 BC, citizens of Rome were encouraged to bathe daily, but typically the cleansing occurred in a public bath. Those few who were wealthy enough to afford a private bath enjoyed bathing themselves in a sort of an extravagant private pool. Flash forward a few thousand years: it’s now time to treat yourself like a Roman emperor and enjoy one of these lavish soaks.

Christmas past Christmas is a celebration but even more for Rick Miller whose birthday is the 26th, and his mother’s was Christmas Day. Rick gears up around Thanksgiving because, “I like to take my time and enjoy the process; it gets me in the holiday mood.” He usually sets up three trees and one tree alone can take him a week to decorate. While he works, Rick remembers Christmases past. He’ll hang whimsical ornaments, such as mini-chandeliers and monogrammed French chairs, on an all-white tree. What makes the tree special are the crystal icicle ornaments which belonged to his grandmother.
Christmas present Rick is an interior designer and his German Village home is accented by red which works particularly well for Christmas. “I’ve
always liked red, so over the years I’ve built up a large collection of red ornaments and use that as my color scheme.” Rick recommends a unified color scheme to achieve a designer look. “Don’t just stick whatever you happen to own on your tree unless you want it to look like a taco salad,” he observes. Go about decorating your tree as you would a floral arrangement, Rick advises, saying, “Be creative with dimension and placement.” Rick incorporates multiple sizes and layers of ornaments. “I like a tree that looks full so I pack ornaments inside the tree between branches until it’s jammed.” The “jammed in” things become a backdrop and set the stage for his favorites in the front. If the tree backs up to a wall he does not decorate that side, leaving more ornaments to be used where seen. Rick firmly believes “more is more. If you think 500 ornaments are enough, go out and buy another 500—you’ll be fine.” He reccontinued >

ommends checking out Hobby Lobby for background ornaments since the prices are good. For distinctive or keepsake decorations, Rick loves Baker’s Village Garden Center in Powell. In his den, Rick installs a tree in a topiary urn. The room has a cathedral ceiling and can accommodate an 8-foot tree in a 3-foot urn. “The urn adds height and adding lots of ornaments to the slim tree makes it look bigger.” Decorating for Christmas is an exercise in artistic creation for Rick. “I don’t feel obligated to put the same things up in the same way each year. I play with different ideas and make stuff up as I go.” Rick is not a fan of tree-toppers. “It’s rare that I use an ornament as a tree-topper; they’re never straight.” Instead he uses items that fit into the theme or add a whimsical touch. “It’s fun to have things that aren’t so expected,” he notes. “Some years I’ll have cherubs hanging from the ceiling over the tree—one sitting, one flying.”
Rick believes in exterior decorating at Christmas too and fills his window boxes with variegated greens, sugar pine cones, artificial berries, and holly leaves. He places a large wreath in his courtyard and decorates the entryway, all of which “creates a holiday spirit from front to back.” Rick advises taking advantage of a warm-weather day to hang outside lights and other decorations. “You don’t have to turn on the lights right away, but it’s a relief to have that task done before really cold weather settles in,” he says.
Christmas future Rick’s trees are all artificial and pre-lit with white lights. If he were to use multicolored lights, he would use multicolored ornaments. The pre-lit trees are convenient to use year after year, but what to do if the strand of lights on a pre-lit tree go out? “Sometimes an entire section of lights will go out because of a problem with continued >

an individual bulb,” he observes. To solve that problem, Rick is sold on a tool he found at the hardware store. The “Light Keeper Pro” easily reconnects the faulty bulb and restores the lights. “This will save a marriage,” he predicts, and helps ensure that your lights will still be working next year. The trees in Rick’s home come down in sections and are stored in the garage. Rick recommends see-through tubs for the decorations and ornaments. “They make storage so easy, even in a German Village home,” he says. When the Christmas season rolls around next year, he just pulls out the tubs and starts over.
Worthy of Mr. Fezziwig’s ball The time he invests in decorating his home for Christmas pays off, says Rick. Indeed, Charles Dickens wrote that the transformed Scrooge “knew how to keep Christmas well,” a sentiment that equally captures the spirit of Rick Miller’s holiday home.

Don’t miss your chance to tour the Governor’s home! The stunning home, built in 1925, was inspired by English manor houses of the early 1600s and features slate floors, exposed beams, dark oak paneling, limestone archways and fireplaces and ornamental ceilings. Be sure to notice key elements that were made in Ohio throughout the house including pottery, glass and a beautiful piano. The house was built for Malcolm and Florence Jeffrey. Malcolm Jeffrey worked in the export department of the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company, the firm founded by his father Joseph Jeffrey. Malcolm died in 1930 and his widow and

two young sons remained here until 1936. Malcolm’s sister Florence Jeffrey Carlile and her husband William W. Carlile bought the house in 1936. Mr. Carlile was chief legal counsel for the Jeffrey Manufacturing Company. He died in 1941 and Mrs. Carlile passed away in 1954. The Carliles’ daughter Janet and her husband Rev. Charles U. Harris donated the property to the state to be used as an executive residence. C. William O’Neill (1957-1959) was the first governor to live in the residence. The Stricklands are the ninth first family to call the residence home.

Their family tradition still consists of having the kids stay at the top of the stairs to see if Santa came. “We light a fire, start music, make coffee, get the camera and get ready for the day to begin.” Interesting elements to note while walking through the house include Corbusier chairs, a Rison coffee table and watercolors by Anne’s grandfather, Leland McClelland. Paintings by Amina B. Robinson are also on display.

Comfort Driven with Artistic Expression
This French-inspired home was built in 2006 and both Jewish and Morroccan traditions are celebrated around the holidays. The family uses the entire home for entertaining and they adore the location. “We love it here because we can walk to dinner or a coffee shop,” says Patricia. “It has an urban feel, which we like, especially having children.”

Music for your party is a must, so give thought to what your guests will enjoy most, and don’t just turn the radio on and allow whatever is being played to determine the mood of the evening. Create your own music mixes on your MP3 player or use an online music library such as goodnoise.com where you’ll find over 9 million song selections. Turn on the music before your party begins so it feels festive when the first guest arrives, and make sure it isn’t too loud so guests of all ages can converse comfortably. Good background music should not be too invasive or have abrupt transitions that are distracting. Generally, best-of compilations and movie soundtracks work well because they flow well into one another.

Come back any ole time!
When the evening of the party arrives, it is interesting to realize that hosts and guests both contribute equally to the most important aspect of the event, and that is a festive, warm and joyful atmosphere. Cheers!

If you’re on the receiving end of the invitation, then you will want to show the host your sincere gratitude by giving a thoughtful gift that will keep you on the guest list year after year. • For a less formal affair, bring a disposable camera and snap pictures during the party. Leave the camera and a photo album with your host so she can remember what a great party it was. • Give a day-after film fest with a gift of movies, popcorn and a pair of fuzzy slippers. • Encourage a much needed break from cooking with a Take Out Menu Organizer available on-line at uncommongoods.com. Include some local takeout menus and a gift certificate for dinner. • Assemble or purchase a luminary kit of white, lunch size bags, sand and votive candles to be used the night of the party. Offer to stop by early and set up the luminaries before guests arrive.
