HOME + DESIGN THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT

VIVA BENE ST. PETERS DEDICATED, RESOURCEFUL REALTOR

HOME

Just four letters, yet they hold so much meaning. Home is our sanctuary, our foundation and the place where life unfolds. It’s where we begin and end each day, where memories are made, and where our hearts find rest. While “home” looks different for each of us, its importance is universal.

Author Wendy Wunder captured it beautifully: “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.” With that spirit, our March edition is a celebration of what makes home so special, from thoughtfully designed spaces and shared meals to the people, pets and moments that bring it all to life.

For us, it’s coming through the door to wagging tails, the simple joy of fresh flowers on the counter and the deep comfort of being exactly where we belong. Home grounds us. It restores us. It reminds us who we are.

This month, we had the privilege of connecting with local businesses and individuals who help shape the places we call home. Their stories reflect the creativity, craftsmanship and heart that define this community. As you turn these pages, we hope you feel inspired to strengthen your own sense of home, whether within your walls, your neighborhood or the city we share.

Many readers tell us they hold onto this magazine long after the month on its cover, keeping it as coffee-table art, a source of inspiration or a meaningful reflection of home. That’s a tradition we’re proud of, and one we’re committed to honoring with every edition.

Thank you for welcoming us into your homes. Here’s to a March filled with comfort, connection and the spaces, and people, that matter most.

Happy March,

March 2026

THE GREEN HOUSE EFFECT

ARTICLE BY KELLEY LAMM

MORE THAN GREENERY, A GREENHOUSE BECOMES A SANCTUARY FOR GROWTH AND GATHERING

“More than greenery, a greenhouse becomes a sanctuary for growth and gathering.”

There’s something quietly transformative about stepping into a greenhouse. The air feels softer. Time slows. Light filters through glass in a way that instantly calms the nervous system. What was once considered purely practical, a place to start seedlings or protect delicate plants, has evolved into something far more meaningful: a personal retreat rooted in growth, intention and beauty.

In our own backyard, a glass greenhouse has become exactly that. What began as a kit and a weekend project quickly turned into a sanctuary. Inside its sunlit walls, plants that would normally perish in winter are not only surviving, they’re thriving. And somewhere along the way, the greenhouse became more than a place for greenery. It became a place to unwind, to read, to gather and even to host friends around a table for six on a cozy game night surrounded by living, growing things.

At its core, a greenhouse works by harnessing nature in the smartest way possible. Sunlight passes through glass or polycarbonate panels, warming the interior and soil. That heat is trapped inside, creating a stable, protected environment

where plants can grow without the stress of harsh winds, frost or sudden temperature drops. This consistency allows plants to focus their energy on growth rather than survival. Herbs stay fragrant, citrus trees flourish and leafy greens remain vibrant long after the first frost. For gardeners and non-gardeners alike, the reward is immediate and deeply satisfying.

Today’s greenhouses are no longer tucked-away utility structures. Modern designs are architectural, intentional and beautiful. Glass walls invite natural light. Clean lines complement the home. Inside, the space becomes versatile, part conservatory, part reading room, part entertaining space. Imagine sipping morning coffee surrounded by fresh basil and lemon trees, hosting an intimate dinner under the stars without the chill, or ending the day with a book in hand as condensation beads softly against the glass.

There’s a reason greenhouses feel restorative. Studies show that being around plants reduces stress, improves mood and enhances creativity. In a world that moves fast and demands constant attention, a greenhouse offers a pause. It’s a space without screens or noise, where patience is rewarded and growth happens quietly.

Beyond wellness, a thoughtfully designed greenhouse adds character and value to a home. It reflects intentional living, an appreciation for craftsmanship, sustainability and design. As spring approaches, homeowners are reimagining outdoor spaces to serve more than one purpose. A greenhouse answers that call beautifully, blending form and function, growth and gathering.

In the end, a greenhouse isn’t just about plants. It’s about creating a space where life, inside and out, has room to flourish.

INDOOR PLANT GUIDE

Investing in indoor plants can not only spruce up your living space, but also bring numerous health and well-being benefits

SNAKE PLANT:

The Snake Plant is for anyone from a green thumb to a black thumb because anyone can grow it. These hardy plants can adapt to any environment and can live in both high light and low light.

HOPE PEPEROMIA:

The Hope Peperomia likes medium to bright direct sunlight. It does well as a tabletop plant or a hanging plant. Watering is only needed one time a month regardless of plant size.

Bringing the outdoors in with the use of house plants is a great way to add color and dimension to your space. We sat down with Jesse Nelson at Family Tree Nursery, based in Kansas, and discussed the benefits of incorporating plant life into your home. “There are plenty of studies on the health benefits of plants, and the evidence suggests that being around plants and caring for plant life increases overall wellness,” explains Nelson. “Anytime you bring a plant into a home or work environment, it’s going to make you feel better. It is going to beautify the space in a way that art cannot, and they also have the added benefit of  purifying the air.” There are a wide variety of indoor plants that work for any space and light situation that you may have. Regardless if you have a green thumb or a black thumb, there are plant varieties that fit your lifestyle. Here are a few of our favorite indoor plants to incorporate into your home.

PLANT:

The ZZ plant, which its formal name is Zamioculcas zamiifolia, is a very easy plant to care for. They like anything from low light to bright light. These plants are hard to kill and can go a long time without being watered.

‘LIFE FOR ME’

VIVA BENE ST. PETERS: HOW ACTIVE ADULT LIVING REDEFINES

INDEPENDENCE

"I hear this all of the time: ‘I’m doing this for me,’” shares Ashley Wilson, community manager for Viva Bene Active Adult Apartment Homes in St. Peters. How befitting, given that the name "Viva Bene" translates from Italian to "live well or living the good life."

ARTICLE BY ROBIN SEATON JEFFERSON PHOTOGRAPHY BY SAM FENTRESS

Ashley says people move into this innovative 55-plus active adult rental community for all types of reasons. "Some want to be closer to family. Others are ready to downsize without sacrificing lifestyle, or to live surrounded by peers rather than younger renters."

Many Viva Bene residents come from traditional independent or assisted living because she says they didn’t realize active adult living was an option. However, she explains, “They discover they didn’t need that level of care, and they don’t want the cost that comes with it.”

For others, the appeal is freedom. “They want to travel, but need a home base. They want to be active, stay social, enjoy life, go to dinner parties and have fun. They've raised their kids, and they're ready to live their own lives. Some are even still working but no longer want to keep up the maintenance required on a house or they’re just ready for something easier," Ashley says.

Mathilda Sorbello, Viva Bene sales consultant, agrees. “People are ready to live life for themselves. That’s why it’s called Active Adult Living.”

Viva Bene blends resort-style amenities with a proactive, wellness-focused lifestyle.  The community offers one- and two-bedroom apartments in a 161unit, 200,000 square-foot campus at mid-market rental rates. Owned by real estate development, construction and investment firm, Avenue, and managed by Greystar, a global leader in rental housing, Viva Bene is credited as the first pioneering senior living community in the nation to intentionally combine attainable pricing with wellness amenities and preventative healthcare services. The community is currently 70% occupied.

Mathilda says co-founder, Laurie Schultz, designed Viva Bene with an agingin-place philosophy that she wanted for her own parents. "We take her holistic approach and incorporate it with residents’ everyday lives.”

Avenue Development representatives launched this active adult company during March 2022 to focus on integrating preventive health services with senior housing.

Viva Bene St. Peters broke ground in early 2023, and a grand opening was celebrated on April 16, 2025.

Viva Bene residents enjoy weekly programs, social gatherings and wellness-focused experiences that foster connection and belonging. On-site preventive care and wellness through Sevi Health, offers personalized, relationship-based primary care designed to simplify health care and support overall well-being.

Viva Bene also piloted Groove Health, an innovative wellness program featuring AI-enabled strength and mobility sessions residents can complete in their own homes.

While wellness is central, the team at Viva Bene states that fun is essential. From pool time and game nights to line dancing, music happy hours and social clubs such as the Juliet Club  (Just Us Ladies Eating Together), and Romeo Club (Retired Old Men Eating Out), the community offers plenty of ways for residents to stay engaged.

“Our sense of community is why people choose to live here. It’s the number one reason our residents call Viva Bene home,” Ashley says.

EXERCISE SNACKS

Advice Editorial: Small Movements. Big Impact.

ARTICLE BY BETH TEMPLIN, PT, DPT, GCS, PHYSICAL THERAPY & FITNESS

One doesn't need long workouts or gym memberships to stay strong and mobile while aging. In fact, some of the biggest health benefits come from what researchers now call "exercise snacks," which are short bursts of movement sprinkled throughout the day.

Exercise snacks are simple actions that can easily be done inside your home. Examples are standing up from a chair 10 times in a row, walking laps around the house, going up and down the stairs or balancing at the kitchen counter. These movements may only last 1-5 minutes, but when repeated daily, they help maintain strength, balance and independence.

For many older adults, this approach feels more realistic and less intimidating than traditional exercise. Instead of setting aside a full workout, movement becomes part of everyday life. Stand up during TV commercials. Walk while talking on the phone. Practice balance while waiting for coffee to brew. Dance in the kitchen while making a meal.

The goal isn’t intensity: it’s consistency. Frequent movement tells a body it’s still needed, still capable and still strong. Over time, these small “snacks” can reduce stiffness, improve confidence and support independence. Remember, motion truly is lotion. A little movement, done often, goes a long way toward healthy aging.

Imagine Custom Wood Doors, Millwork

SCOBIS MILLWORK + DESIGN CREATES EXQUISITE DOORS WITH EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP

ARTICLE BY JULIE BROWN PATTON

Crafting custom, high-end and artistic wood doors plus marvelous millwork that blends elegance and practicality is the objective of every project handled by specialists at Scobis Millwork + Design.

The company, which came under new ownership last year following the retirement of founder Mike Rachocki, is now celebrating 25 years of craftsmanship since its founding in 2001.

As the newly appointed general manager of the St. Louis-based company, Kyle Slaughter leads a team that focuses on personalized, luxury and handcrafted wood doors and millwork for residential, commercial and institutional projects, with an emphasis on customer experience and long-term client relationships.

“We do anything hardwood and custom. From handcrafted architectural doors to custom flooring, moldings, trims, wood beams, furniture and wall panels, every piece is engineered, fabricated and finished in-house at our state-of-the-art St. Louis facility,” Kyle says.

Scobis Millwork + Design teams serve architects, designers, builders, contractors, churches, universities, historical societies and discerning homeowners throughout St. Louis and beyond. The team applies the same precision and care to every project, whether it involves a period-appropriate restoration door or a contemporary millwork installation.

Clients’ tastes and functional needs are carefully considered to deliver finished outcomes that integrate seamlessly with the architecture of each home or building.

Success comes from top-notch service, custom craftsmanship, premium materials and attention to details. From classic architectural details to one-of-akind elements, the team states they love helping clients turn their visions into something beautifully tangible.

The Scobis Millwork + Design team offers the following seven tips for upgrading front entrances:

1. Paint (or Stain) Front Door for Instant Impact . A bold new front door color is one of the fastest and most affordable ways to upgrade curb appeal. Test paint samples in morning and evening light; colors shift dramatically outdoors. Love natural wood? Skip paint and apply a high-quality exterior stain instead.

2. Upgrade House Numbers. House numbers are like jewelry for homes. Fresh, stylish options instantly make entrances feel more polished and intentional. Choose large, easy-to-read fonts, finishes that match door hardware (matte black, brushed nickel, oilrubbed bronze), and consider mounting them on a simple backplate for contrast.

3. Add Planters or Window Boxes. Greenery adds softness and scale to an entrance. Frame the door with two matching planters for symmetry. Use low-maintenance plants like boxwood, ferns or ornamental grasses, and rotate seasonal flowers for year-round appeal.

4. Upgrade Door Hardware for a High-End Look. Worn or mismatched hardware can detract from even the best doors. Update handlesets, hinges, knockers or doorbells, and stick to one finish throughout for a cohesive, designer look.

5. Don’t Ignore Garage Doors. Garage doors are often the largest visible surface on a home’s exterior. Painting them to blend with siding creates a clean, modern look, while a contrasting color can add architectural drama.

6. Frame the Entryway to Create a Designed Moment. Add trim or molding for definition. Layer a durable outdoor rug or welcome mat, and include a bench, stool or seasonal wreath for warmth and character.

7. The Ultimate Upgrade: A New Custom Wood Front Door. A well-crafted custom wood door adds warmth, boosts curb appeal, increases home value and, with proper care, can last for decades.

Tips For Feng Shui Design

BALANCING HOMES

ARTICLE BY MEL BOBAN

Did you know that feng shui actually translates to "wind-water" in Chinese? When it comes to home or room designs, the invisible forces of nature that this name was inspired from can be incorporated to achieve overall balance. Feng shui is an ancient Chinese set of principles and best practices for arranging objects in a way that feels natural, welcoming, decluttered and harmonious.

EASY TIPS FOR INCORPORATING FENG SHUI INTO HOMES:

1. DECLUTTER, EVEN BEHIND THE SCENES. Decluttering and cleaning is easier said than done. Clutter brings negative energy to a home that feels heavy on the eyes, stressful to the mind and challenging to live in harmony with. According to feng shui theories, even hidden clutter will bring a block to balanced energy necessary to live in peace. This means looking beyond bookshelves in plain sight and focusing on basement storage, closets, under the bed and the garage.

2. FIX WHAT'S BROKEN. Has that faucet been leaky for years? A door finicky to latch? This is causing imbalanced energy according to feng shui principles. Broken items in need of repair drain people's energy and nag at us, impeding peace and balance.

3. ARRANGE FURNITURE IN A COMMANDING POSITION Large furniture items like beds and couches should have a clear view of the door, but should not be directly in line with it. This brings a sense of security and peace knowing that the entryway is in plain sight.

4. CONSIDER THE BALANCE OF ELEMENTS. A key part of achieving balance in homes to feng shui standards includes the elements: wood, water, metal, fire and earth. The addition of plants, for example, but (not too many!) brings the earth element into play with natural colors and soil. Water can be incorporated using fountains, or blue colors. For fire, consider candles or red colors. Be careful when adding elemental items to still follow the decluttering rule of thumb.

MID-CENTURY WARMTH, REIMAGINED

There’s a certain moment when a house stops feeling new and starts feeling like home. It isn’t marked by square footage or finishes alone. It is something quieter, more emotional. In this home, designer Kate Manz set out to do exactly that: give a newly built home a heartbeat and a soul.

Rather than treating the house as one sweeping statement, she approached each room as its own story, layered with meaning, memory, and texture. The result is a home that feels collected, personal, and deeply lived-in.

“Tackling each space and room as its own story and concept is how to make a new space feel personal,” Manz explains. “But bringing it all together cohesively is always the challenge.”

Her solution? Warmth, intention, and a strong belief in the power of people. In new builds it can take years for a home to shed its newness. For this project, the goal was to fast-track that sense of belonging by layering in pieces with history and heart. Vintage market finds, local artists, and meaningful objects play a starring role throughout the home.

“My love for design goes hand in hand with the people and stories that bring it to life,” she says. “I absolutely love seeing the evolution from concept to completion and all the elements and people that help bring those ideas to reality.”

That philosophy becomes especially important in the home’s expansive open-concept living area, where scale could easily overpower intimacy.

THE OPEN CONCEPT, REIMAGINED

The main living space is defined by bringing the outside in with sweeping outdoor views and generous proportions. Rather than fighting that openness, embrace it.

“The big open concept room really highlights the expansive outdoor views,” she says, “but making intimate spaces within that open room was really important.”

A layered niche wall, created in collaboration with the interior architect Nick Flower, brings both structure and softness to the room. It introduces texture, depth, and a place for unique objects and family heirlooms to live, turning negative space into a personal gallery.

ENTRYWAY: A WARM WELCOME

The entryway sets the tone with a simple but powerful goal: Welcome to my home.

Natural stone underfoot grounds the space, while a soft vintage rug and living greenery immediately soften the experience. Art with personal meaning invites guests to linger rather than rush through.

POWDER BATH: SMALL ROOM, BOLD SPIRIT

If there’s one place Manz encourages clients to take risks, it’s the powder room. Here, she leaned into terracotta earth tones, layering textures and tile sizes for visual interest and warmth. Patterned and solid tiles work together, while textured wall coverings and a sculp tural stone sink elevate the space from functional to delightful.

LOUNGE: A STUDY IN CALM AND DEPTH

Designed as a counterpoint to the openness of the main living area, the lounge is a cocoon, both peaceful, layered, and deeply versatile. It’s a place for reading, movie nights and slow mornings.

Rich tones and varied textures do the heavy lifting here, creat ing depth without heaviness. Soft lighting and custom upholstery make the room feel both intentional and effortless.

At its core, this home is a reminder that design isn’t about per fection, but rather it’s about feeling. By treating each room as its own narrative while weaving in warmth, history, and human con nection, a space was created that already feels loved.
