In its 44th year, Ladue News continues to put community at the center of its storytelling. I am honored to usher in the next era of this prestigious publication as its editor-in-chief. This is my 10th year with LN, and in that time, I’ve seen this print publication continue to succeed in an industry where others have not – in large part due to the people behind the magazine. The writers, editors, graphic designers, photographers, and media representatives put their all into every issue. We take pride in our work, knowing it is on behalf of St. Louis, a city with grit and heart.

LN keeps you informed on business openings and what’s new in your neighborhood. Read about the kid entrepreneur whose products line shelves at local Walmarts on Page 12.

LN highlights those who work tirelessly for the betterment of our community, some through honoring its past. On Page 31, we cover the Missouri Historical Society’s exhibit on the iconic Josephine Baker and her home in Mill Creek Valley, a once thriving, predominately Black neighborhood within St. Louis that was razed in the name of urban development.

LN delves into the artistic scene of St. Louis, showcasing bold productions, stirring exhibitions, and innovative programming. Read on Page 29 about the lineup of can’tmiss events hosted by the Saint Louis Fashion Fund, which is bringing to town Wes Gordon, the man who has quietly reinvented the global fashion house, Carolina Herrera.

LN showcases the positive forces at work in our beloved city. We spotlight charities and ways you can materialize comfort, such as on Page 25 where local candlemakers share cozy scents for this season, or create moments of joy, such as at Winterfest, St. Louis’ annual holiday celebration, previewed on Page 38.

Good news is hard to come by these days, but not so within these pages. Thank you for reading Ladue News.

HONORING HISTORY,Creating reating Warmth

This homeowner has the joy—and stewardship—of living in a century home. No one passing by could deny its stunning beauty and historic charm. But with that privilege comes responsibility: every renovation must honor the integrity and story of the home itself.

That’s why they turned once again to Karr Bick, a firm known for designers and craftsmen who make every renovation feel as though it has always belonged. The homeowners had previously trusted Karr Bick with a new bathroom design and its construction. Now, it was the kitchen’s turn.

The kitchen was dark, small, and crowded, with no adjacent space to expand into. The immediate challenge was to make the existing footprint work beautifully.

Lead designer Wendy Kuhn knew the homeowners well—their boys had played soccer together from middle school through two state championships. That familiarity made collaboration easy.

The first step was simple honesty: What isn’t working?

The homeowners knew the first answer immediately. The low range hood was frustratingly impractical. And Kuhn noticed the second. An enclosed corner pantry with a door that was perpetually left open blocked light and gave the

kitchen an unkempt feeling. Kuhn proposed opening the space up entirely, removing the wall to let in light and life. The homeowner took the leap, and the result is a bright, personalityfilled nook that embodies Karr Bick’s signature #NothingOrdinary style.

The pantry was relocated into a kitchen wall that was previously a walkway. A custom walnut pantry cabinet now serves as both a functional storage solution and a stunning design feature.

In the center of the room, the island begged to become a table. Although the space was tight, the family wanted a place to gather. Kuhn designed a table that tucks four chairs neatly

underneath when not in use, utilizing the space for a cozy and perfectly welcoming feeling.

The design palette balances historic warmth with fresh modernity. Wendy chose a rich, personality-filled green that acts as a neutral backdrop, pairing beautifully with brass accents, white walls, and a white plaster hood. Behind the range, Carrara marble tile etched with a vintageinspired pattern adds subtle artistry. Though Kuhn typically avoids printed tile, this one was irresistible. Its design recalls hand-painted tiles from another era, offering a modern homage to history.

added a locker-style storage area to corral sports gear, backpacks, and daily clutter. The result is a kitchen that feels both elegant and lived-in— timeless yet distinctly personal.

With integrated services that span design, interiors, and construction, Karr Bick offers clients a seamless experience from concept to completion. In this century home kitchen, Karr Bick has once again proven that honoring the past can create something beautifully new and #NothingOrdinary.

In the DRIVER’S SEAT

By Drew Gieseke > Photos by Shay Danrich

Joshua Danrich started his own business at the age of 10. Inspired by his dream of owning a luxury sports car dealership, the enterprising preteen developed a line of air fresheners under the moniker “Mr. Fresh.” Now, more than six years later, Danrich’s products are available for purchase at Walmart, marking an exciting new chapter for the entrepreneur.

“I was too young to drive,” Danrich says. “I was only 10 years old, and I felt that was a great way to get into the industry.”

Mr. Fresh Air Fresheners can be used in cars as well as in the home. The company offers six scents that promise to last all day and are good for 60 sprays. Products can be purchased online and in stores throughout the St. Louis metro including at select Walmart locations, thanks to Danrich’s 2024 selection during the company’s annual Open Call event. Entrepreneurs from 48 states traveled to Bentonville, Arkansas to present their business ideas. More than half received “golden ticket” deals to help scale their companies.

The selection was a high point for Danrich and his mother, Shay, who formulated scents in the kitchen one batch at a time. Their initial goal was to create a scent that mimicked the “new car smell” – a fitting first for someone who loves vehicles so much. The final iteration of that original formula is now known as the Cool Breeze scent.

“Everyone loves the smell of a new car,” Danrich says. “With Cool Breeze, one of the

first customers we ever spoke to, they told us it smelled exactly like a new car. That’s our No. 1 most popular [scent].”

Danrich maintains a normal life outside of his business, attending school, taking tests, spending time with friends, and wistfully imagining his dream car (a 1976 Lamborghini Countach White Out).

He’s also hard at work on expanding Mr. Fresh and sharing his story with people around the community and across the country. As part of his platform, Danrich explains that “Fresh” serves as an acronym for “Faith to Rescue Every Son from Hurt,” which highlights the business’ mission to promote emotional, mental, physical, and financial maturity as well as self-esteem and self-confidence in African American boys.

Anything is possible; age is not a barrier to success.

– JOSHUA DANrIcH

“I feel my mission is to be on the earth to inspire the youth, that if I can do it, so can you,” Danrich says. “Anything is possible; age is not a barrier to success.”

At just 16, Danrich is ahead of the curve on planning for his future. Yet, whether he ends up owning a luxury sports car dealership or taking the Mr. Fresh brand global, it’s clear that he’ll always pursue his passions. He encourages everyone, regardless of age, to do the same.

“Chase your dreams now,” Danrich says. “Keep striving and keep going. Your dreams will come through.”

Rugged & Refined

Can you name someone on your gift list for whom it’s always difficult to shop? Men’s Modern General Store in Cottleville might be your solution. Store owner and manager Micah Raposo says that the concept for his business developed from a similar quandary.

“My wife, Caroline, presented this idea to me three years ago when we were on a date night. She basically said, ‘You are so difficult to shop for because all of the things you like are higher quality, and you can’t find the brands and the quality of the products that you like anywhere else…Why don’t we start a storefront where you [can] bring that knowledge?’”

As a first-time business owner, Raposo expresses genuine surprise by his choice in profession. “I have stuttered my entire life. I chose jobs based on not talking to people, so I drove a semi and took labor construction jobs,” he says. “I have really gotten into self-growth over the last

five to seven years, and then it just became more apparent that this was what I should do.” His wife, who owns a therapy practice, also spurred Raposo to go into business for himself.

Since the store’s grand opening on Aug. 30, Raposo feels the response from customers has been very positive. “Everybody loves our concept – they love how our store is decorated and the whole vibe…They’re excited to be able to put their hands and eyes on a physical product rather than purchasing items online,” he says.

Raposo also notes that, while the store’s name includes the word “men,” it can appeal to everyone. “It is definitely open to anybody,” he says. “The types of products are geared more towards what guys could like. Actually, [though,] a really large part of our customer base is going to be women.”

Raposo notes one item most popular among customers: “It’s kind of a surprise to be honest, but our candles have been an extremely popular

item. We have nine different candle scents, and they range from ‘barbershop’ to ‘clean cut’ to ‘barrell proof’ to ‘speakeasy.’”

Raposo and his wife currently manage the store and hope to hire some extra hands around the holiday season. At time of print, the shop is in the process of acquiring a liquor license, with plans to soon offer tastings and bottle sales. Men’s Modern General Store is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and on Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Sci-FEAST FeStIVAL

By Emily Standlee >

The Saint Louis Science Center is a marvel on its own, but did you know that it hosts special expos four times a year – all centered on the way STEM impacts our lives? SciFest events typically follow the seasons and can change from year to year; so far in 2025, we’ve seen SLSC’s Engineering Expo in February, its Great Outdoors Expo in May, and its Play and Creativity Expo in August. Now, as Sci-FEAST approaches on Nov. 15, visitors can get the scoop on STEM in food and drink production, animal science, and agriculture as well as weather and space.

SciFest events bring together experts from a variety of industries because science, technology, engineering, and math can be found, well, just about everywhere. “Science is the study of how things work – so whatever it is, there’s science behind it,” says Ruth Watt, manager of STEM events for SLSC. A scientist herself and an educator, she’s equally passionate about both. “Whatever you’re into, no matter your point of interest – airplanes, animals, computers, Mars – everything connects to STEM. So you can come here, find your place in it, and geek out with some really cool people who do this for a living. And get curious; don’t just let it end in one day.”

Beyond answering questions about digestion, protection from bug bites, the fermentation of local whiskey, or how to stack together the perfect cheeseburger, Sci-FEAST exhibitors can inspire visitors of all ages. “There are whole companies that create flavor profiles for items we eat and drink – if I had known that was a career option, my choices might have been different,” Watt laughs. “There are all kinds of food scientists out there, and [the topic] touches us every day. It’s all food, right? Food

marketing, transport, distribution. It’s so cool to be able to bring that forward and say, ‘Hey, everybody! This exists!’ And kids: It could be your next career move.”

Each exhibit table at Sci-FEAST engages both children and adults, keeping in mind that the more information we all have, the better choices we can make overall – not just in work or school. You might even spot a pup or two at the festival; after all, STEM is a huge part of the pet food industry. At past events, Watt has spotted kids, whose parents didn’t know they were interested in drones, flying the aerial vehicles around like professional pilots. No matter where your interests lie, the sky’s the limit in terms of science. Beyond the informational, educational aspect, events like Sci-FEAST have the power to spark discovery...and maybe even change lives.

Sci-FEAST is free and lasts from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 15. Parking is free at the McDonnell Planetarium while regular rates apply at the Oakland Lot. Guests can still enjoy all their favorite SLSC activities on campus during the expo.

TIP OF YOUR TONGUE ON THE

What’s your story? Literally everyone has a story to tell, and some people find their calling is to masterfully tell those tales. The St. Louis County Library honors and encourages storytellers from around the world each year at the St. Louis Storytelling Festival.

Now in its 46th year, the 2025 festival occurs Nov. 10 to 16 with a diverse lineup of storytellers and programs for all ages. “This year, we invited the community to submit stories for Your Story on Stage and Amateur Story Hour programs,” says Becky Maue, executive projects coordinator for SLCL.

For Amateur Story Hour, which runs from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 15 at the Clark Family Branch in Ladue, Maue says festival planners received

more than 80 submissions for seven slots. “We selected stories from emerging storytellers that would bring a wide range of themes and styles to the stage during the festival,” she says.

Your Story on Stage gives entrants an opportunity to see their words come to life through performances by The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis. SLCL received 34 submissions this year for consideration. “The Repertory Theatre chooses the stories that are performed during the Storytelling Festival,” Maue says. “[The Rep] works with the submitted stories and makes only minor edits to ensure they stay within the performance time and/or facilitate smooth transitions between the stories performed. The program highlights the stories and the authors during the performance.”

Your Story on Stage wraps up the festival at 1 p.m. on Nov. 16 at the Clark Family Branch. Other workshops and classes throughout the festival include “Intro to Personal Storytelling,” “The Art of Storytelling,” “Funny Because It’s True,” “Jazz Storytelling,” “Capture Your Personal History,” and more.

With nine nationally renowned storytellers in the program, Maue expects to see similar attendance to last year’s festival, which attracted more than 11,000 attendees. All events are free and open to the public, but some require registration. The festival is sponsored by St. Louis Public Radio, Emerson, the Missouri Arts Council, and the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis.

“The Storytelling Festival is for all ages,” Maue says. “Many people associate stories with children, but the St. Louis Storytelling Festival offers something for everyone.”

RETIREMENT LIFESTYLE > THE GATESWORTH

Leading with Heart

By Maggie Peters > Photos courtesy of The Gatesworth

For more than 35 years, The Gatesworth family of communities has been a trusted name in senior living in St. Louis, offering the full continuum of care from independent and assisted living to memory care and skilled nursing. Beyond its top-quality services, amenities and programs, The Gatesworth communities are all about making your loved one feel like part of a family, which is a value its owners have held dear since its inception.

“I now understand why Bob [Leonard] always brought our family around The Gatesworth so much throughout our childhood: the community here is a continuation of all the family-oriented draw that our family shares in all aspects of our life,” says Chris Leonard, COO of The Gatesworth, the second generation of leadership alongside his brother, CRO Patrick Leonard. “The Gatesworth is at the center of that, and Bob, Charlie [Deutsch] and David [Smith] genuinely set that tone and have instilled it in us over the years so organically. Everyone’s heart is always in the right place.”

Chris and Patrick Leonard also served as the chairs of this year’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s on October 25. The walk helped to rally to the St. Louis community, elevating the reach of the Alzheimer’s Association and aiding the organization’s move toward better understanding the disease and finding a cure. The diagnosis has affected several members

of the Leonard family and so both felt it was natural to take a leadership role for this fundraising event.

“We’ve seen firsthand the toll it takes, not only on those diagnosed, but on the families and caregivers who walk beside them,” says Patrick Leonard. “It’s an honor to spearhead raising awareness for the world’s largest fundraiser to fight Alzheimer’s which fules work in research, care, support, and advocacy.”

Alongside the event, the Leonards and the rest of The Gatesworth’s leaders and staff work hard every day to ensure that those with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are given personalized care of the highest caliber at both its McKnight Place Assisted Living & Memory Care and Parc Provence Memory Care communities. Residents are provided with a safe, engaging and thoughtfully designed home and community, cared for by specialty trained staff and given the kind of diverse activities and events and restaurant-style dining found at The Gatesworth’s independent living community.

“With passionate employees and intentional programs, activities and top-notch care,” says Chris Leonard. “It is truly inspirational.”

The Leonards both agree that much of this wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for The Gatesworth’s commitment to remaining local. When ownership is deeply connected to the staff, residents, and their families, it allows

for the personalized relationships and service for which The Gatesworth was founded.

“[Local leadership] means everything,” Patrick Leonard concludes. “We decided to narrow our focus to this community in St. Louis, and it has paid off with having the best employees and attracting such a variety of amazing residents. It makes work so much more enjoyable to have the ability to customize how we do things to meet exactly what our residents want, doing things the way they like it.”

THE HOW-TO OF Hollywood Hair

Once considered a Hollywood secret, hair extensions are now a modern tool for almost everyone, though installation can be cost-prohibitive. Social media has made ubiquitous the glamorous style once seen only in glossy magazines or on TV and in movies. Thick, bouncy locks are no longer reserved for supermodels and celebrities. This previously hush-hush service is a specialty at Salon Two One Zero in Richmond Heights. We spoke with one of its owners, Reese Bond, an extension specialist and master colorist, about transforming your hair through extensions.

Does my hair type support extensions?

All hair types can support extensions, Bond says. However, your stylist should take care to find an installation method best suited for your natural hair. “The key is customizing the type of extensions to suit the client’s hair health, density, and desired look so that the result is both safe and seamless,” she explains, expounding that fine hair requires lighter-

weight extensions so as to not stress the natural hair while thicker hair types can support a custom blend for more flexibility.

How will extensions change my styling routine?

“Extensions add extra density and length, so naturally they increase drying and styling time,” Bond says. “However, every client finds styling extensions easier because the added fullness holds curl and shape longer, meaning they don’t have to style as often throughout the week.”

She adds that custom installation ensures extensions are best suited to your natural hair and the shape of your head. “It gives clients the freedom to style their hair however they’d like, which is truly every extension client’s dream!”

What does maintenance look like for extensions?

At Salon Two One Zero, hand-tied extensions are the preferred method, which translates to check-in appointments every six to eight weeks. If anything unusual such as an allergic reaction or slippage transpires with your natural hair or extensions before a follow-up visit, Bond encourages seeing your stylist right away: “You never have to wait weeks to get anything touched up.”

Removal is a breeze, she assures, so long as your stylist spends adequate time taking out the extensions. Other options include tape-in extensions, for which your stylist should use a professionally made solution to dissolve the adhesive without harming your hair. Extensions installed with fusion or keratin-based tips, also known as K-tip, require the use of a special tool for removal. The hand-tied or beaded methods are simply released from the original hair.

Fashion Rooted in A City

By

Carolina Herrera’s renowned creative director Wes Gordon will headline this year’s nationally recognized Saint Louis Fashion Fund Speaker Series. SLFF executive director Becky Domyan recently shared with LN all the Fund’s stylish happenings, from the “Speaking of Fashion” program on Nov. 18 at 5 p.m. at Washington University in St. Louis to Gordon’s trunk show appearance on Nov. 19 at Neiman Marcus as well as a potential partnership in the works for the relaunch of St. Louis Fashion Week in 2026.

What’s in store for the “Conversation with Wes Gordon?”

Gordon will bring his singular vision and years of experience to St. Louis for the SLFF annual “Speaking of Fashion” series in partnership with Washington University in St. Louis and Caleres.

The event, open to the public (and also set to be livestreamed), will be followed by a Q&A moderated by Derek Blasberg, a native St. Louisan, journalist, author, and fashion industry personality.

[Additionally,] Gordon will receive the Saint Louis Fashion Fund Award, presented to individuals making major contributions in fashion. Past recipients include Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, the late André Leon Talley…and Karlie Kloss.

What’s new for this year’s program?

Blasberg [and Gordon] are friends, so we know the Q&A should be most lively. Gordon’s age and youth is something we love, and he has ties to the Midwest as he’s from Chicago.

New this year, [Gordon] has agreed to have lunch with a group of Missouri fashion students, [where they] will have a chance to share their designs and get his input and advice.

And for the first time, Gordon will attend a trunk show and luncheon hosted by Neiman Marcus on Nov. 19. We are still working on the details but are fortunate to have Neiman’s general manager Dan Kramer on the SLFF board.

What’s new at SLFF?

The Fund announced the four recipients of its inaugural Susan Sherman Fashion Scholarship, named after the nonprofit’s co-founder and board chair.

We launched our first Brand Summit…[in our] fashion force’s…ongoing mission to reclaim St. Louis’ roots as a fashion epicenter.

In addition, today, five of 12 former SLFF incubator alumni – Retta Jane, Hats by Dianne, Summersalt, AUDRA, and Lux & Nyx – are growing their brands in St. Louis, contributing to the local economy and creative scene.

What’s on tap for 2026?

We are in discussions about our next Brand Summit and the 2026 Fashion Futures networking program for students to interact with fashion industry experts.

We also are exploring a partnership with Kansas City Fashion Week president and CEO Teisha Barber, who recently acquired St. Louis Fashion Week, to see how the Fund could play a major role in resurrecting STLFW, [which] will relaunch in summer 2026.

Dancing

IN tHe StreetS

By

Before she enchanted the world with her Vaudeville dance performances, before she became part of the heart of the Harlem Renaissance, before she served as a spy for the French resistance in World War II, and before she adopted a “rainbow tribe” of 13 children from numerous countries, Josephine Baker was a little girl in St. Louis’ Mill Creek Valley neighborhood.

The life and achievements of this St. Louisborn icon fascinated Mary Strauss, a local philanthropist known for supporting the arts. Strauss collected Baker memorabilia over the years and recently donated her private collection to the Missouri Historical Society. The collection includes many rare and important artifacts from Baker’s storied career and life, such as a 1970s-era performance costume and an original plywood theater cutout from Baker’s 1935 film “Zouzou.”

Valley’s existence and eventual destruction in a special exhibition, “Mill Creek: Black Metropolis,” opening Nov. 15, 2025, and running through July 12, 2026. Baker’s childhood neighborhood was razed as part of an urban renewal project in 1959. This exhibit explores the neighborhood’s role in St. Louis history, including the development of Black-owned businesses and newspapers like the St. Louis American. More than 20,000 people, 95% whom were Black, lived and worked in the 454-acre Mill Creek Valley, and among them, young Baker could be found dancing on the sidewalk by the Booker T. Washington Theater.

The exhibit’s opening weekend will include a ribbon cutting, craft projects, a screening of the documentary “Remembering Mill Creek: When We Were There,” and “Mill Creek in Words,” featuring live readings from “The Last Children of Mill Creek” by Vivian Gibson and other works.

“Josephine Baker was an extraordinary artist and human being,” Strauss said in a news release about the bequest. “It’s been one of my life’s great joys to amass and care for this collection.

“I feel so fortunate to have items that capture her at her zenith – programs, posters, photographs, a costume, and Bakerfix items to name but a few – each one reflecting a different side of her brilliance. I’m thrilled that they’ll one

day belong to the people of St. Louis.”

The Missouri Historical Society plans to professionally preserve and catalog the 450plus items before incorporating them into future exhibitions and programs. Many are to be included as part of MHS’ African American History Initiative.

Related to the Baker collection, the Missouri History Museum is highlighting Mill Creek

The Baker story and artifacts from the collection will be included in the museum’s new signature galleries, opening in 2027, and featured in a temporary show on Josephine Baker in 2028.

COMMUNITY

> THE SALVATION ARMY OF GREATER ST. LOUIS

GIVE WITH Joy

The holidays are right around the corner, and soon bells will be ringing. Not just silver bells, but the red kettle bells for the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign, raising money to support those in need within the St. Louis community and beyond.

“The Salvation Army is there in the moments that matter most, providing shelter, food, utility assistance and disaster relief,” says Shawn Schukar, Chairman and President of Ameren Transmission Company. “It is a steady presence during emergencies and disasters, offering comfort and care, which hits close to home given the tornadoes that impacted our community this spring and summer. The Salvation Army's work is woven into the fabric of our community.”

Schukar explains that growing up in a small farming community taught him the importance of taking care of your neighbors. After volunteering with the organization, he now serves on the Advisory Board for The Salvation Army locally. “At Ameren, we believe in being a force for good, and The Salvation Army embodies that every day,” he says.

“I like to say that our simple mission at The Salvation Army is to save the world, but … we can’t do this important work alone,” adds Major Adam Moore, General Secretary and Greater St. Louis Area Commander for The Salvation Army. “One key strength of the St. Louis metro area is its diversity and generosity. We depend on the generosity of the community to help our most marginalized neighbors and meet the increasing demand for assistance.”

One of the best ways that you can help The Salvation Army in its mission

is to donate. The Red Kettle Campaign, which began decades ago as the Tree of Lights Campaign, supports families during the holidays with programs such as Angel Tree Toy Town, food assistance and warming shelters in the face of dropping temperatures.

This year’s Red Kettle Kickoff and Tree Lighting are both on Nov. 22, at the Hilton St. Louis at the Ballpark and across the street at Keiner Plaza respectively. The Kickoff, a ticketed event, is an opportunity to celebrate the season, hear from inspirational voices and bid on experiences in support of The Salvation Army’s mission. The Tree Lighting, free to enter, includes the lighting of The Salvation Army tree, musical performances, photo opportunities with mascots, real reindeer, vendor booths, and a fireworks finale.

“Our annual Red Kettle Kickoff and Tree Lighting are signature events and mark the start of our biggest fundraising season,” says Moore.” Our goal is to raise $5.6 million in Greater St. Louis between now and Dec. 31, 2025.”

Go online to learn more about how you can help through donating, volunteering, attending the kickoff and more!

“Whether it’s ringing bells at red kettles or helping launch the Red Kettle Campaign, I’ve seen firsthand how their work uplifts lives across our region.” Schukar concludes. “Our community is stronger because of people who care.”

7th Annual “Pony Up for Kids” Charity Polo Match

The Old Newsboys hosted its 7th annual “Pony Up for Kids” Charity Polo Match in September at the August J. Busch Polo Club in Defiance, Missouri. Friends and families gathered beneath the VIP tent for a lively afternoon, enjoying pre-game festivities. Local entrepreneurs showcased their goods, from fresh kettle corn and handrolled cigars to homemade ice cream.

Before the match, guests enjoyed a catered lunch and live auction. Soon after, Team Avison Young Commercial Real Estate faced off against Team Royal Banks of Missouri. Spectators lined the field as players competed through several chukkas, followed by the traditional halftime Divot Stomping and Champagne toast.

The day wrapped up with announcements for the silent auction and hat contest winners, marking a successful fundraiser supporting more than 100 St. Louis-area charities.

CO-CHAIRS

MODERNIZING Your

Historic Home

Homestar Design Remodel talks practical, aesthetic, and budget considerations for adding onto a historic or older home.

By Drew Gieseke > Photos courtesy of Homestar Design Remodel

There are certain practical and aesthetic factors to weigh when looking into the benefits of buying a new build versus expanding an older home. While both can result in stunning residences, the former can prove especially satisfying for homeowners who prefer a classic look in a timeless house.

Here’s what you need to know about adding a new addition to your historic or older home.

PRESERVATION, MODERNIZATION

Homestar Design Remodel owner Thomas Borcherding and his team commonly work on homes built during the 1960s and 1970s. They also tackle older projects such as homes dating back to the 1920s.

“Updating historic homes requires a careful balance of preservation and modernization,” Borcherding says. One key to the practice is communication. Every single decision is greenlit by the homeowner(s). Borcherding says that homeowners should be completely hands-on during the design phase of the addition to ensure it preserves the site’s heritage while expanding how it’s used in the 21st century.

crucial to assess what the existing structure can realistically support.

“If you can dream it, it typically can be accomplished, but probably not within the budget you had in mind,” Borcherding says.

Many older homes need upgraded electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to support the added square footage, which can be costly and complicated. Likewise, local zoning codes and historic district rules could also dictate what’s possible for a given project.

Borcherding points out that additions are often exorbitantly expensive, with some costing as much as a new home.

THE BENEFITS OF EXPANDING AN OLDER HOME

Buying a new build comes with its own set of perks. Typically, this means better energy efficiency, fewer maintenance projects, and the freedom to select exactly what you want in your home. With this in mind, it’s still not for everyone.

“Some homeowners wish to add on to their existing property so as to retain emotional value associated with their home,” Borcherding says. “Furthermore, the plot of land on which the home is located might be particularly desirable, and existing structures might be in great shape.”

PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS

during the project. Older homes often include hazardous materials such as lead and asbestos that were once considered safe for residential buildings.

Older homes often have foundations, framing, and mechanical systems that weren’t designed to handle a large addition. So, before dreaming about open-concept living or a new wing, it’s

AESTHETIC CONSIDERATIONS

Pivital to a new addition on your older abode is identifying what makes the historic portion of the home distinctive, whether it’s the woodwork, window proportions, or plaster details, and using that as the anchor. Expert remodelers can then work with homeowners to layer in modern details and conveniences without overshadowing the historic features.

One example? Custom cabinetry or new task/ ambient lighting. Either can live comfortably alongside original features if the palette and proportions are thoughtfully balanced.

“Aesthetically, you want the addition to look like it belongs,” Borcherding says. “That means paying attention to rooflines, window proportions and siding details so the new space doesn’t feel like an afterthought.”

UNEXPECTED CHALLENGES

While you may be adding onto an existing home, demolition likely still needs to take place

“Homes built before the 1980s have a high likelihood of containing both lead-based paint and asbestos-containing materials, as both were commonly used until they were phased out in the late 1970s. Asbestos didn't disappear overnight, however. Existing stock was still able to be sold. As a result, we see homes built in the 1980s and even the 1990s that contain asbestos,” Borcherding says. “This is especially troublesome when working with pregnant homeowners or those with children, which is not uncommon.”

Another challenge is if a home is located within a designated historic district. If so, you may need project approval from a review board, which can restrict materials used, rooflines, window styles, and more.

STAYING FLEXIBLE

Plans and preparation can only get you so far. Borcherding says that the most successful projects happen when homeowners embrace the need for flexibility because historic homes “always throw a curveball or two.”

“If you go in with the right team and a realistic budget, those challenges can turn into opportunities to create something truly unique.”

A Decade of WINTERFEST

By Carrson McDaniel

WINTERFEST AT KIENER

PLAZA OFFERS NEW AND OLD TRADITIONS TO CELEBRATE THE 2025 HOLIDAY SEASON.

2025 marks the 10th anniversary of Winterfest, an annual celebration that transforms Kiener Plaza into a beacon of joy. Beginning Nov. 22, Winterfest will offer eight weeks of festive happenings for everyone.

Opening day on Saturday, Nov. 22

Presented by Bank of America and World Wide Technology, the milestone 10th annual Winterfest “will be our biggest celebration yet,” says Camille Brooks, director of programming and events at Gateway Arch Park Foundation, which hosts Winterfest.

Holidays in St. Louis and Celebrate St. Louis are also hosting the 41st annual Thanks-For-Giving Parade on the same day. The parade route follows Market Street before culminating at Kiener Plaza, where Winterfest will be in full swing.

Tim Meers, general chairman for Celebrate Saint Louis, says the parade was moved from Thanksgiving Day to be held in conjunction with Winterfest, creating an official kickoff to the holiday season.

“It just made a lot of sense to combine those two traditions on a weekend that gave most flexibility for people to be able to come down and enjoy both events,” he says.

Gateway Arch Park Foundation is also hosting other Winterfest opening day events, including the fifth annual Winterfest 5K and Fun Walk/Run as well as the Ameren Festival of Lights and the lighting of the Salvation Army Christmas Tree at 6:30 p.m.

Visitors can enjoy free ice-skating courtesy of Ameren against the backdrop of the Old Courthouse; explore vendor booths; and visit The Greater St. Louis, Inc. Lodge @ Winterfest for the Holiday Expo, where cooking, décor, and gift-wrapping demonstrations will run alongside presentations on new trends for the holiday season. Santa Claus will also be available for pictures from noon to 8 p.m., and fireworks will serve as a spectacular grand finale for the action-packed day at 7 p.m.

Familiar and new traditions

With activities such as ice skating, making s’mores, and cozying up in the Igloo Village, Winterfest offers no shortage of family-friendly fun. The Greater St. Louis, Inc. Lodge @ Winterfest, says Brooks, will be the “heartbeat” of Winterfest this year: “It’s a warm, welcoming space filled with free activities for all ages.”

EVENTS AT THE LODGE INCLUDE:

❄ Carol-oke, held every Friday starting Nov. 28 from 4 to 8 p.m.

❄ On select Saturdays beginning Nov. 29, visitors can check out local vendors at the holiday market from noon to 5 p.m.

❄ In partnership with the Kranzberg Arts Foundation, Sophie’s on the Go, a DJ Series, will be held every Saturday beginning Nov. 29 from 6 to 8 p.m.

❄ On Sundays from noon to 1:30 p.m. and 2 to 4 p.m., characters such as The Minions, Moana, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will be onsite to meet with and take pictures. Also from 2 to 4 p.m., families can gather to watch movies including “Inside Out 2” and “The Grinch (2018).” Family game night runs from 5 through 8 p.m.

Brooks says there will be even more traditions to discover at Winterfest throughout the season, including “new photo ops throughout the Winterfest area, and a new food vendor in the Winterfest Café: Ed’s Food Shop, a beloved Mississippi riverfront staple.” Expect Pour Decisions to serve up festive drinks and Crumbl to offer an exclusive Winterfest-themed cookie.

Giving back

Along with spreading holiday cheer, Winterfest hopes to serve a larger purpose for downtown St. Louis and its most famous landmark. All proceeds from the Winterfest 5K will support the foundation’s mission as the official philanthropic partner of Gateway Arch National Park. Brooks adds: “It’s a great way to start the festivities while giving back at the same time.” Winterfest runs from Nov. 22, 2025, through Jan. 11, 2026.

A World APART

Chelsea Green Studio’s woven blankets and tapestries share a mystical common thread.

When her world was turned on its head, this native St. Louisan created a world of her own through her art.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted Holly the owner of Chelsea Green Studio, to seek a “much-needed creative outlet and lockdown-friendly business venture,” she says. The resulting Etsy storefront, named after Chelsea Green, a neighborhood Holly discovered while living in London, now features woven blankets, tapestries, and other creations inspired by ancient myths, woodland creatures, and Holly’s own life experiences.

“During my years in London, I was never more than a few hours away from a stately home, castle, or historical village,” she says. “My exploration of London and travels around the rest of the U.K. and Europe sparked an appreciation for medieval to Victorian-era British and European history, art, and architecture.”

Wild flora and fauna are also a focal point.

Holly attributes this to her upbringing, which she describes as “slightly feral,” fondly recalling

days spent playing in the woods until dark.

“My design process is a combination of pulling from my mental archive while keeping an eye on seasonal décor and fashion trends,” she says.

“Dark academia, medieval, Greek mythology, dark ‘cottagecore,’ Scandinavian folk art, Victorian gothic, European vintage tapestry, equestrian, and ‘whimsigoth’ are my favorite aesthetics.”

The creator’s various and sundry influences interact in charming, often humorous ways in each design: On one blanket, an owl crouches above herbs drying on an apothecary bookshelf. On another, a dragon perches upon a stack of oversized books in lieu of its legendary treasure hoard. Chelsea Green Studio’s most popular woven blanket features a reimagination of “The Lovers” tarot card, inspired by the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades; the lower half of the design depicts Hades’ underworld through symbolism while the upper half represents Persephone’s springtime return.

Holly creates digital artwork for each whimsical design before sending it off to a weaver based in the U.S., who produces samples

of woven blankets and tapestry totes that Holly then photographs for her Etsy listings. Each purchase is made to order by the weaver, who directly ships the finished product to Chelsea Green Studio’s customers.

Hanging the products as wall tapestries is only one possible usage. Holly encourages customers to put them to good use as couch throws, cozy wraps, bedding, and even picnic blankets. Her woven tapestry tote bags are made to be durable, with double-sided woven designs and inner liners.

Keep an eye on the shop for new equestrian and vintage European tapestry aesthetics alongside more neutral and traditional woven blanket designs, with personalization options for gift-giving. Area rugs, throw pillows, and lined woven wall tapestries, with sewn-in pockets for easy hanging, are also set to be released before the winter holidays.
