Tour a Napa Valley Home That Features Groovy Furniture and Gucci Wallpaper | Architectural Digest

You won’t have to undertaking considerably into this serene dwelling, in Napa Valley, California, to come to feel the influence of its designer, Kristen Peña. Schooled in European elegance and proportions, the San Francisco–based decorator, and founder of K Interiors, has set up a name for generating present-day models that thoughtfully stability openness and privacy. Nonetheless, inside this 4-bedroom house, Peña has also managed to go additional in melding the tailor-made, largely monochromatic palette of her consumers with a playful, refined plan that elevates the residence’s all round aesthetic.

“It was a incredibly thoroughly clean slate when I was brought in, so we actually needed to honor all the strains of the interior architecture,” suggests Peña, whose globetrotting as a result of Southeast Asia, Morocco, and over and above, in excess of the several years, has helped cultivate her really like of pattern and texture. “[At the same time,] we preferred to provide accessibility and convenience by applying plenty of artisan designers to assist foster a one of a kind perception of place.”

That thought was furthered by Peña’s clients, two San Francisco tech executives who purchased the 4,500-sq.-foot assets in 2020 as a weekend refuge. These two avid modern art lovers have a extensive-ranging assortment encompassing pieces by a assorted roster of artists who specialize in a variety of media. Now, the interiors are dotted with performs by the likes of British fiber artist Sally England and Denmark-based mostly sculptor Nicholas Shurey.

“Our art selection is an extension of our style, and Kristen seriously recognized that from the outset,” states one particular of the owners of the household. “She established exceptional spaces that not only emphasize the art, but also express our fashion.”

Although artwork plays a starring function in this home, inside furnishings, culled from a wide array of resources, underscore the interplay concerning craft and materiality.

In the key suite, a custom mattress, from Hardesty Dwyer & Co., anchors a place that also attributes Coup D’Etat oak and bouclé chairs and Thomas Hayes nightstands.

Colourful walls are a superior point all over the home, and can even be seen in unforeseen places of the residence. “Whenever someone will come to take a look at the house I usually clearly show them the laundry home 1st,” the owner suggests with a slight giggle. The modest area boasts Gucci wallpaper illuminated by a neon gentle photograph. Just a lot more evidence that when it arrived to this venture, Peña left no stone—or sq. foot—unturned.

Learn how to remove grass for drought-tolerant landscaping

Once upon a time, the grounds surrounding the Maryknoll Sisters home in Monrovia were 6.5 acres of lushly green lawn and trees.

They’ll never be that way again — not with water being so rare and expensive these days — but the retired nuns of Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic, about 15 former nurses, teachers and social workers in their 80s and 90s, are working with Grow Monrovia and other conservation activists to find a better use for their land.

Their vision involves converting the mostly dead and dying lawns “to something more suitable to the environment here,” said Sister Arlene Trant, 76, coordinator of the order’s retirement facility. Their goals for the new landscape include meadows of native plants, grasses and trees, and community gardens growing food, using methods that conserve water, harvest rainfall and rebuild the soil.

There’s no budget for contractors or laborers though. Rather, they see the transformation as an ongoing series of workshops in water optimization and soil regeneration, where people can participate in the conversion while learning how it’s done.

Bottom line: This small group of elderly nuns who spent most of their lives living and working with people with disabilities and without resources, are relying on the kindness and curiosity of volunteers to complete the first part of this transformation through hands-on workshops in lasagna mulching (a.k.a. sheet mulching) on July 10 and 24 from 8 a.m. to noon both days at 300 Norumbega Drive in Monrovia.

The free workshops, organized by the local conservation nonprofit group Grow Monrovia, are led by landscape designer and activist Leigh Adams of Studio Petrichor, a company focused on reversing climate change by rebuilding landscapes with healthy soil and native plants.

Adams created the popular Crescent Farm at the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden in 2015 by using sheet mulching and other techniques to transform an old lawn into a low-water garden of native plants, fruit trees and other foods. Her classes about water optimization and replacing lawns with cardboard and wood chips to create a healthy soil have inspired Trant and given new purpose to the residents, whose community work has been limited the last two years due to the pandemic.

“Saint Francis of Assisi spoke about Brother Sun and Sister Moon,” Trant wrote in a statement about the project. “To me, what we’re doing here is working in solidarity with Brother Worm and Sister Microorganisms, Caring for Mother Earth means joining the birds, butterflies, worms, bees and microorganisms who are all essential workers in caring for our land and nurturing the soil for future generations.”

It’s a new chapter for the facility that the Maryknoll Sisters began as a tuberculosis sanatorium in the 1920s for Japanese patients no other medical centers would treat. It later became a small hospital for the underserved in the San Gabriel Valley, and in the 1970s was converted to a retirement residence for the New York-based order’s nuns.

Trant, 76, spent most of her life working with the Deaf community and people with disabilities in Hong Kong and Macau. Nothing was green in those densely populated cities, she said, so on her brief visits to Monrovia, the shady verdant grounds seemed miraculous.

She loved those “beautiful water-sucking lawns,” Trant said, but she now sees them as unsustainable in Southern California — and far too expensive for her cash-strapped facility to irrigate.

In the spring, with help from Adams and neighbors Rosemary Gavidia and Michele Brooke, the founders of Grow Monrovia and the Maryknoll Sisters started the first part of their project, applying for rebate money to remove 20,000 square feet of patchy grass.

The rebate money will be useful, Trant said, “but it’s not about the rebate. It’s about the cry of the Earth. We’ve neglected her for so many years, now we want to get in tune to what she’s calling us to do.”

Brooke and Gavidia are excited about the opportunities for getting the public involved in lawn-removal techniques they can apply to their own yards. They have been growing trees to plant around Monrovia for several years, and got involved with the sisters in 2021, after getting Trant’s permission to create a small community garden and tree nursery on a weedy, unused portion of their land, near a grove of oaks.

Gavidia hopes the rebate money can help the sisters continue the project, buying more materials and pay Adams for her landscape designs, but Adams is a huge proponent of community involvement and she says she’s donating her time, in part because Catholic nuns kept her alive after she was born in Hanford, Calif.

When Gavidia told Adams about the Maryknoll Sisters’ project, “I realized it was like a cosmic score card where I could even things out,” Adams said. “These are women who have served their communities all their lives and they need help. I’m not Catholic — I’m not even religious — but 72 years have passed and the reason I’m here and thriving is because some nuns in that hospital took care of me when my mother didn’t. They have a vision to help the Earth and I have a way to organize the community and help them learn.”

Makeup Artist Joanna Petit-Frere Makes Every Bride Look Beautiful

News

With a brush and mascara in hand, Joanna Petit-Frere provides the very best of attractiveness to your massive working day.


Picture by Sasha Israel

Even in advance of graduating from MassArt with a degree in photography, Joanna Petit-Frere was properly on her way to turning into a fixture on the Boston make-up scene. She began freelancing in college and, two several years in, decided to open Visage 1 Studios in 2003, with the goal of cultivating a place in which everybody can search wonderful. Nevertheless she gave up the studio area throughout the pandemic, her operate is still going potent. “I’m kind of the last contact,” suggests Petit-Frere, who specializes in make-up for all ethnicities. “Most of the time when the brides are in my chair, they are nervous, and I have to coach them via it. I choose it very critically, to make positive they’re peaceful, tranquil, and emotion lovely.”

What appears are trending for brides appropriate now?

A good deal of brides talk to for a champagne kind of shadow, like a pure basis with blush, the shadow, and commonly a liner on top—champagne typically goes with all skin tones. Brides now are accomplishing quite total, feathery brows liners are more smudged, as opposed to that strong line and variety of highlight-y, really organic palettes are common, dewy or matte, relying on the person’s skin variety. I take into consideration myself a tender-glam make-up artist simply because I like to deliver out people’s purely natural options, so they even now search like them selves. Which is what I try to really encourage a bride to do, simply because clean makeup is timeless.

How can a bride make sure she likes her seem?

[During the trial], I tell them, “If you do not like this, it does not hurt my inner thoughts.” It is hard for me to go back when we create a specific phase, so never be fearful to say what you like or you never like. This is your working day! You want to get pleasure from this second, so really do not allow other people steer your decisions. I do this detail now where I give [brides] the mirror and pretty much speak by means of the total look so we’re in agreement on all the steps. Soon after, I take a picture, and I ship [it to the bride] and say, “This is what you glance like soon after the trial. Permit me know if you want any improvements.”

At what stage in the day-of prep ought to brides get their makeup accomplished?

I do the bride second to previous or third to previous, dependent [on] the time that the photographer arrives in. All the vendors are pressed for time, so I like to convey to them my timetable because I know how it’s heading to fall into place. When the photographer arrives, you have to be done. When they consider photographs of, for illustration, you placing on your lipstick, you want your encounter, your hair, anything to be on issue, and then the photographs are just of you accomplishing minimal touchups. You have to align it with the photographer, videographer, and coordinator. I’ll contact foundation with the photographer—What time are they functioning with? What is the thought?—because I want to make absolutely sure it flows. I want to be a portion of producing absolutely sure the vision arrives collectively.

What guidance do you have for a bride who does not ordinarily use make-up?

Often, this is the very first time a bride receives skilled make-up accomplished. Commonly, when a bride contacts me, I explain to them to deliver me a picture of how they want their make-up. I’m evaluating the picture, observing the search that she wants me to obtain. Through the demo, I carry them through the course of action. I’m experience out their electricity, feeling out their temperament with the makeup. Occasionally persons really do not fully grasp, so I have to teach them about make-up a small little bit when they’re in my chair. I’m like, “Yup, I’m carrying out this approach because….. I’m executing that strategy because….” I have a educating spirit. I
like folks to really feel empowered with their natural beauty.

How do you advise brides who consider they can merely follow their typical natural beauty regime for their wedding day?

This isn’t everyday makeup. It desires to be long-long lasting, photograph properly, and stand up to the climate all working day. I inform them, “Your deal with has to match your attire.” It seems to be more than-the-top—until you set anything else on.

Strategies

A make-up demo can be nearly as overwhelming as the wedding itself. Look at out Joanna Petit-Frere’s pointers for the ultimate “Me Working day.”

Guide In advance

Make an appointment as soon as you know the wedding date. Makeup artists can guide out a calendar year, often two, in advance.

Time It Ideal

Schedule the demo at the very same time as yet another wedding-associated event, this kind of as an engagement shot, a dress-fitting, or a hair demo. This way, you get a likelihood to see the entire search collectively in advance of you walk down the aisle.

Obtain Your Likeness

When you ship inspiration pics to the make-up artist in advance of the trial, make guaranteed that the individual in the photo has a very similar pores and skin tone and attributes to your individual. Sure makeup appears distinct on various functions.

Learn some landscape design tips from our Pearl River County roadsides – Picayune Item

By Patricia Drakett

Director of the Crosby Arboretum and

assistant extension professor of landscape architecture with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.

On my journeys throughout Pearl River County in recent weeks, it’s been a delight to observe the developing perennials and grasses. Although I enjoy the emerging spring wildflowers, these more delicate blooms can “melt” with warmer weather, so I admit I sometimes look forward to hot summer days and the correspondingly more robust roadside displays that show up later in the growing season.

Don’t get me wrong, those delicate spring flowers will bring an awesome sparkle of color to your landscape, make an attractive if short-lived bouquet on your bedside table, and their fragile nature makes them especially nice for pressed flower projects. But as I write this, I’m looking up from my laptop at an arrangement of swamp sunflowers, sugarcane plume grass, panic grass, and ladies’ hatpins from the south pitcher plant bog that have been sitting in a vase on my kitchen table for several years.

When I say “robust”, I mean “durable” – summer blooms tend to have larger and thicker petals, and I suppose they need to be since they have the hot, blazing sun to contend with.  They will still dry nicely in pressed flower arrangements, even though they are a wee bit lumpier.  But even after a few years in a vase, the yellow petals on my dried swamp sunflowers still qualify as gorgeous.  Their low-care nature certainly fits my lifestyle, and it’s hard to improve on imperfection, as they say.

Drinking in a crazy quilt of color and texture so expertly woven together by Mother Nature on my drives is an enchanting experience, and it inevitably reminds me of my earlier years spent in college studying landscape architecture. During the intensive classes where we learned to produce aesthetically pleasing planting designs, we’d be sequestered at our studio drawing tables for weeks on end.

Eventually, we’d feel the need to emerge for some fresh air and decide to take a drive down the nearby country roads. Through eyes and minds that had only recently been constructing designs according to established design principles and rhythms, we would always be dumbstruck by the perfection we saw unfolding along the roadsides. How could our own attempts possibly improve on the beauty of these glorious natural patterns? The plants we observed were occurring in specific locations based on their habitat preferences, and the patterns resulted from such environmental factors as soil moisture or type, available sunlight, or the slope of the land.

Surely at some point in your own travels, you’ve remarked, “Oh, isn’t that pretty,” in response to certain roadside sights, blooms or landscape patterns. By learning to identify the plants you consistently see, you can learn about the habitats they prefer, and maybe even discover a few low-maintenance additions to consider for your home landscape!

If you’ve never visited the Crosby Arboretum, we urge you to make plans to come explore a marvelous place that is revered and respected throughout the country by the public gardening world. It has the potential to enrich your life – and your gardening methods – in so many ways!
