Home. So much contained in that little four-letter word. Home is our grounding. Our base. Our launchpad. It’s where we start and end each day. And while the particulars look different for each of us, the meaning and value it holds for all of us is undeniable. Canton is my home. Although I went away to college and then traveled all across the country in my first career, I always looked forward to coming home. My mom, and then later, my wife, would save the newspapers so I could read them, in order, when I returned. The stories about the people of Canton kept me connected to this area. Now I feel lucky to seek out businesses and individuals that comprise this community to write new stories for others to read. I hope the small lens into their lives makes you feel connected to the people around you — in your city, neighborhood and most all of — your home. Every month, we hear from readers who keep this magazine for longer than just the month labeled on the cover. They say they hold onto it for months as coffee table art or an accessory in their home. We feel proud to create a resource that is valued in our community and strive every month to deliver the value you expect. Thanks for letting us be a part of your home. Happy March!

Not All Doors are Created Alike WAYNE DOOR CELEBRATES 50 YEARS IN DOORS AND WINDOWS

ARTICLE BY JACQUIE MAZZIOTTA | PHOTOGRAPHY BY WAYNE DOOR

Whether building a new home or repairing an aging garage door, every member of the family is impacted by the quality of home and garage doors as well as windows. Durability, design, safety and functionality are just a few considerations, and working with a trusted company will help ensure reliability and peace of mind. “We enjoy helping our residential and commercial customers find solutions and value the high level of trust they place in our company and team,” says Bob Habeger, president and owner of Wayne Door. “Many of our customers return to Wayne for their home improvement projects. They know and trust our team, many of whom have worked with us for decades.”

H OM E U P DAT E | HOM E + DE S I GN

Not all doors and windows are manufactured the same. According to Bob, going with a cheaper product may cost more in the long run as a result of costly repairs. He recommends planning ahead and making a checklist of important things to consider like quality, style, energy efficiency and warranty. As trends and styles change, customer demand changes too. The company’s product mix reflects trends and growing customer needs. Wayne leaders focus on staying up to date with customer wish lists while maintaining a focus on the highest quality. Common product lines available include Haas Door, ProVia for doors, vinyl and manufactured stone, Element for central vacuum systems, Panda Windows & Doors and LiftMaster, among others. If grandeur is a priority, an elegant door will set the tone for a home’s entrance. For families with small children, a safety feature on a garage door is top of mind. Door experts can help identify solutions for residential and commercial projects.

BOB OFFERS THESE IMPORTANT TIPS: • Have an idea of what style you are looking for. Are you looking for classic or modern, trendy or timeless? With all of the different styles, colors and finishes to choose from, it’s a great idea to work with a trusted professional who can help select the best choices to fit your style. • Choose products that have a good energy rating to help maintain the desired temperature and save money by keeping energy bills low. The energy rating of doors and windows will impact the ability to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. • Consider the product and quality of installation. A cheaper product may cost more in the long run with costly repairs. Choosing experts with experience and knowledge can help ensure doors and windows not only look great but function properly too.

"The knowledge and expertise of our team set us apart from others in t h e i n d u s t r y.” — B o b H a b e g e r

• Check the warranty on windows and doors before buying. This will give you peace of mind and protection in case of any issues. • Bring a photo of your home or what you would like your home to look like when looking at products. This will help when selecting colors and finishes. • Ask for samples. It can be challenging to envision your home with various colors when in the showroom. Take samples home and see how they look in natural light and with other features of your home.

This year the independently owned Wayne Door marks its 50th anniversary.

This year’s annual spring sale will be held in April and will include great discounts along with local food trucks, raffle prizes and more. Additional events will be added through the year. Follow the company’s Facebook page for a current schedule. A wide range of products are offered for residential and commercial needs. Residential products include garage doors and openers, entry and storm doors, windows, patio doors, gate systems, central vacuum systems, access control systems and more.

What sets Wayne Door apart from competitors is the company’s philosophy. “We are reliable, honest and hardworking. From sales to installation and service, our team is dedicated to our customers and committed to excellence. The knowledge and expertise of our team set us apart from others in the industry,” says Bob. The Wayne Door flagship location is in Dover, Ohio and offers a showroom. Other locations include Akron, Ashland and Cambridge. Services are offered across Ohio, from Cleveland to Marietta and mid-Ohio. A 24/7 emergency service program that helps companies throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia is also available.

An afternoon at the lake beckons images of beautiful sunsets, sparkling water with trees swaying in the breeze and an escape from daily life. When homeowners Zach and Katie Boeshart decided to update their home on Lake Cable, their main request was to have lake views from within their home. They transformed their walkout ranch-style house into a modernized open living space with lake views from the front to the rear of their home thanks to superior design. “With some creative planning, we took a sketch and turned it into a blueprint,” says Brian St. Jean of Jackson Township-based Infinity Homes & Remodeling. “Prior to the remodel, all of the rooms were compartmentalized, so when you walked to the front door, you wouldn’t know the house was on a lake." The design included opening up the floor plan and moving the master bedroom suite to the first floor. This allowed

Virtual Reality Headsets are Transforming Home Fitness Routines EXPERIENCE IMMERSIVE, INTERACTIVE AND PERSONALIZED WORKOUT SESSIONS IN THE COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME WITH VR TECHNOLOGY

G E T ACT IV E | FITN ESS

Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been revolutionizing the world of gaming and entertainment. But another area where VR has been making a significant impact is in the field of exercise. With the advent of VR consoles like Oculus VR, people are now able to enjoy the benefits of a gym workout from the comfort of their own homes.

The Oculus VR console is a popular choice for VR exercise due to its high-quality graphics and intuitive user interface. The headset is equipped with motion sensors that track the user's movements, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in a virtual environment. This means that users can experience a wide range of physical activities, from simple exercises like stretching to more complex routines like running, cycling or playing virtual sports. One of the key benefits of using VR technology for exercise is its ability to provide an engaging and motivating experience. Unlike traditional exercise equipment, VR games and experiences are designed to be fun and entertaining, making it easier for users to stick to their fitness routine. Some popular examples are:

1. Virtual Sports: VR technology can simulate various sports activities like basketball, soccer and even boxing. This allows users to experience the excitement of playing their favorite sports, even if they do not have access to a real-life court or field. 2. Dance Games: VR dance games provide a fun and engaging way to get a full-body workout. Users can participate in virtual dance competitions, or dance along to their favorite music. 3. Action Games: Action games that involve physical movements like jumping, running or ducking can be an effective way to get a cardiovascular workout. Beat Saber is a popular rhythm game where your goal is to slash the beats which perfectly fit into precisely handcrafted music.

CONTINUED > MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / CA N TO N

Another benefit of using VR technology for exercise is its ability to simulate real-world environments which may not be accessible in real life. Users can enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or snowboarding, even if they are limited by geographical constraints or weather conditions. Rock climbing and ice skating become a realistic and immersive experience in your own living room. Practicing yoga with VR technology is also a growing trend. It allows users to escape from their everyday surroundings and fully focus on their practice. One of the key benefits is that it provides a guided experience. Users can choose from a variety of virtual classes, each with its own instructor who leads them through the session. This is particularly useful for beginners who may feel intimidated by practicing in a public setting. VR technology can also provide a unique environment for meditation, allowing users to visualize their surroundings and focus on the present moment. This can include peaceful landscapes, serene gardens or even underwater scenes. The virtual environment can be customized to the user's preferences, making it a personalized experience. In addition, VR technology can be used to track the user's progress and provide feedback on their practice. It can provide metrics on breathing rate, heart rate and posture, helping users to improve their technique over time. It can also estimate calorie burn, which is useful for individuals who are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. It's important to note that VR technology for exercise, yoga and meditation should be used as a supplement to traditional practices and not as a replacement. Additionally, users should be aware of potential risks, such as motion sickness or eye strain, and take steps to minimize these. The cost of VR technology can vary widely depending on the type of headset and accessories. High-end VR systems can cost several hundred dollars or more, while entry-level options can be more affordable, costing around $150 or less. Additionally, VR games and experiences come at a cost, with prices ranging from a few dollars to several hundred dollars for more advanced games and applications. With its ability to provide a guided experience, immersive environment and progress tracking, VR technology offers an exciting new way to stay fit and healthy for individuals looking to improve their overall well-being.

5 Hot Trends

in Kitchen Design A peek at what’s ahead: bold cabinet colors, statement hardware and swaths of stone.

ARTICLE BY HALEY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY BY J.A. STENGER PHOTOGRAPHY

When designing your dream kitchen, it’s important to balance timeless features with elements that reflect your personality and design aesthetic. You may not plan to remodel your kitchen each year (does anyone do that?), but that doesn’t mean there aren’t creative ways to keep your space feeling modern and fresh. We spoke with interior designer Brooke Cover about the trends in kitchen design she’s seeing this year, touching on everything from cabinet colors and lighting to tile and countertop combos she’s loving.

TA K I N G T H E C O U N T E R M AT E R I A L U P THE BACKSPLASH Although the iconic subway tile backsplash is timeless in its own right, Brooke says she is seeing a big shift toward marble slab backsplashes — which add drama and depth to the kitchen. Not only is it easier to clean than tile, but a marble backsplash and countertop also sets the tone for the entire space and makes a big statement.

D E C OR T R E N D S | HOM E + DE S I GN

WA R M I N G U P THE WHITE We doubt the classic white kitchen will ever completely go out of style, but trends show people are going away from the white kitchen and gray cabinets. They’re opting for white mixed with warmer wood tones, dark greens and blues. Some homeowners are mixing vintage in with the new and modern through butcher block islands or other unique cabinetry choices. Black is making a bold comeback in some kitchens, while others usher in warmth through painted islands or other darker contrast tiles in the bar area. You don’t have to leave behind the timelessness when you warm up your space if you opt for equally timeless black and wood-stained accents. If you want a quick refresh, consider adding pops of wood through cutting boards or other decor accents on countertops or open shelves.

HIDDEN STORAGE, VISIBLE APPLIANCES Gone are the days of it being a given to hide the fridge behind custom cabinets. Many brands of appliances are so beautiful and sleek these days, homeowners want to see them rather than hide them behind a cabinet facade. Small appliances, however, are another story. Custom cabinets and “appliance garages” aren’t going away anytime soon. Form and function make them a desirable addition to any kitchen. CONTINUED >

MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / CA N TO N

BOLD H A R D WA R E Mixed metals and sizes are having a moment in kitchens across America. Brooke says not to shy away from a variety of sizes of pulls and handles, depending on the drawer and door size. For instance, you may see a mixture of longer pulls on larger drawers and square knobs on smaller glassware cabinets - and that’s more than just ok - that’s recommended. As the heart of the home, kitchens shouldn’t feel sterile and hyper-coordinated - they should feel inviting and tailored to the space. Since no two kitchens will be exactly alike, feel free to boldly mix the hardware sizes and styles to the needs of your kitchen.

D E C OR T R E N D S | HOM E + DE S I GN

C O N T R A S T, C O N T R A S T, CONTRAST!

Brooke’s Pro Tip:

From painted and stained islands to dark lower cabinetry with bright white uppers and mixed lighting fixtures, contrast is the name of the game this year. You’ll see this juxtaposition between clean white and darker colors or even this year’s favorite - greens and blues - all over newly designed kitchens. You’re not breaking any rules by coordinating sculptural pendants over the kitchen island with more vintage-inspired gooseneck sconces over the standalone bar or a chandelier over the eat-in kitchen.

I suggest viewing countertop slabs in person vs. a small sample piece because each slab has unique movement and colors. They are all so beautiful and works of art. Taking a trip to the warehouse will really help a client to understand the different types available and see the difference in the look of the material.

Meet Josh Hostetler of Hostetler Family Homes

Hostetler h s Jo

JOSH IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE BIA AND A PROMINENT MEMBER OF THE COMMUNITY HOW DID YOU BECOME INVOLVED WITH THE BUILDING INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION OF STARK & EAST CENTRAL OHIO? I first got involved in the BIA when I began working with my family’s custom home-building company, Hostetler Family Homes, after college in 2005. Since then, I’ve served on various committees, as treasurer, as vice president and this year as president of the association. My dad, who founded the company with his father and has since retired, is a former president of the BIA. Hostetler Family Homes is one of the few companies that has had both a father and son serve as president of the association. WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR JOB? I love just about everything about the home building industry. Building dream homes for customers to raise families, create memories, share values and build their legacy in is the core of my company’s mission. WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE LOCAL BUILDING INDUSTRY? We have an exciting year of events planned at the BIA. Our first public event will be the Spring Circuit of New Homes on March 25 and 26. We're hosting two Home & Garden shows in the spring — one in Stark County on April 21 and 22 and one for Tuscarawas County on April 28-30. Additionally, we are planning a Summer Parade of Homes in the very desirable Woodlands neighborhood in Hartville. Visit BIAStarkECO.com and HostetlerFamilyHomes.com for more information.
