Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home! (John Howard Payne, 1823) Home. It is meant to be a place of retreat, rest, love and a shelter from the outside world—a place where we may let our guard down and just be. In a sometimes-grim world, the home is where we lift one another, where we make a continual effort to teach with love, correct with love and express love every day. Home is where we enjoy the moments with family instead of getting caught up in all the daily tasks that may steal away our attention—to truly be present when spending time with those we love. Our community showcases some of the most beautifully appealing homes in the world, and we are in awe of their beauty. While it is exciting to look at magnificent homes and dream about renovations, we all know the love we share in our homes is truly what matters most. Creating a home in which we desire to spend our time isn’t easy, but the memories made within the walls of our homes are lasting, whether our homes have the latest trends or haven’t been updated in years. From our homes to yours, we wish you love, peace, happiness and joy every day. Happy homebuilding . . .

AN EXQUISITE SPR I NG BRU NCH F ROM V IC TOR I A TOPH A M' S PE T I T E F E A ST SAVOR THIS DELECTABLE MENU OF EGG PASTRY, WITH A SIDE OF ASPARAGUS AND A SCRUMPTIOUS CITRUS DESSERT

BREAKFAST EGG PASTRY WITH CHEDDAR AND PEPPERS INGREDIENTS • 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 1 cup parboiled new potatoes • ½ each red and green bell pepper, chopped • ½ cup onion, chopped • 7 eggs (reserve 1 for egg wash) • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced • 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into cubes • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

ARTICLE BY VICTORIA TOPHAM

METHOD: Dice potatoes and parboil for 6–8 minutes until tender but still firm. Set aside. Thaw pastry in refrigerator according to package directions, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes and sauté 5 minutes. Stir in bell peppers and onion and sauté until fragrant and beginning to brown slightly, about 3 minutes. Whisk eggs and parsley together. Add to skillet and lightly scramble until set. Season eggs with salt and pepper to taste. Stir cream cheese and cheddar and mix until blended. To prevent eggs from cooking further, place egg mixture on a rimmed sheet pan and gently spread to a single layer. Refrigerate. Unfold pastry sheet on work surface lightly dusted with flour. Roll pastry lengthwise into a 10 x 12-inch rectangle. Transfer pastry to parchment-lined baking sheet. Place cooked egg mixture along one side, leaving a small border for sealing. Fold pastry sheet over eggs and crimp edges with fork. Trim ragged pastry edges and decoratively vent top pastry. Brush top of pastry with egg wash made from reserved egg and 2 teaspoons water. Bake until golden, 20–30 minutes. Let strudels cool 5 minutes before slicing. SERVES 4–6: CONTINUED >

SI M PL E GR I LLE D A SPA R AGUS I like this technique for juicy, tender and deliciously charred asparagus. The pre-grill blanching is key to tender spears that aren’t over charred from the grill’s high heat. INGREDIENTS: • 1 pound thick asparagus spears • 1 tablespoon high-quality extra virgin olive oil • Coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper • Fresh squeezed lemon juice and chopped fresh herbs if desired

METHOD: Prep asparagus by removing the tough, woody ends. Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Add asparagus spears and cook until bright green and just barely tender. Take care not to overcook as the asparagus will cook further on grill. Drain; quickly rinse with cold water. Heat outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to high heat. When grill is hot, place asparagus spears across the grates perpendicular to grates. Grill 3–4 minutes or until the asparagus is lightly charred and tender crisp. Use tongs to periodically roll the spears for even grill marks. Remove from grill and place in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, salt and pepper. Gently toss to combine. Platter with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and chopped fresh herbs if desired. SERVES 4–6 (or 1 if you are me)

WA R M CITRUS PUDDING CA K E W ITH FR ESH BER R IES This old fashioned dessert is pure kitchen magic! The unique batter separates while in the oven to form a tender sponge cake that hides a creamy, mouth puckering pudding below. It is equally good served warm or chilled and can be made as individual desserts or baked in an 8-inch baking dish. INGREDIENTS: • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter at room temperature, plus extra for buttering the ramekins • ½ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar, plus extra for sugaring ramekins • Pinch of salt • 4 egg, separated • ¼ cup all-purpose flour • Grated zest from 1 large lemon, orange or other citrus • ¼ cup fresh lemon, orange or other citrus juice • 1 cup milk

Warm citrus pudding cake with fresh berries

C ULIN A RY C R E AT ION S | F OOD + BE VE RAGE

METHOD: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Liberally butter six 8-ounce ramekins or custard cups and dust with granulated sugar and set aside. In large mixing bowl, cream butter, sugar and salt together until smooth. Beat in 3 of the egg yolks (discard the remaining yolk or save for another use). Be sure to scrape sides of bowl to ensure even blending. Add flour and gently mix until smooth. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice. Add milk and mix thoroughly. In clean bowl, whip the 4 egg whites until stiff, glossy peaks are formed. Gently fold into batter. Pour the batter into the prepared custard cups. Carefully set the filled cups in a shallow roasting pan or baking dish lined with double layer of paper towels. The paper towels will stabilize the ramekins and ensure more even cooking. Next, pour boiling water around the ramekins to reach about halfway up their sides. Bake the pudding cakes until they are set and the center springs back lightly when pressed, about 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest in water bath for 10 minutes to finish cooking. Serve warm pudding dusted with powdered sugar and fresh berries on top. Pudding cakes may also be served chilled, but flavor of the citrus will be less pronounced.

Riverwoods Mill offers the highest quality in cabinets, millwork, hardware and appliances

A COLLECTION OF LIKE-MINDED, DESIGN CONSCIOUS COMPANIES HAS CAREFULLY CURATED QUALITY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES IN ONE PLACE ARTICLE BY MARIANNE HAMILTON PHOTOGRAPHY BY ASHER J. SWAN; MYKAL BUSH

Lovesac and Cosy House

A few years ago, the property at the northernmost tip of Tonaquint Cemetery was home to a weathered, teetering barn, a raucous-voiced rooster, and cows and horses past their prime. Today, beyond the cemetery’s three-acre expansion, a gleaming business campus bustles with activity. Known as The Foundry, the campus boasts four multistory buildings offering every conceivable product, service and source of inspiration for those crafting custom homes and commercial structures. The Foundry partners, Chris Peterson, CEO of Riverwoods Mill, and Dave Colling, CEO of Henriksen Butler, say a chance meeting—and instant symbiosis—was the impetus for the enterprise that houses six companies employing nearly 150 local residents. “We work with builders of custom homes in Stonecliff and the like, so we wanted to be in a place that’s centrally located and easy to get to,” Peterson says. “Dave’s company was hoping to consolidate two small showrooms and a warehouse into one operation; when we met it all just clicked. We settled on seven acres next to the cemetery, and once the City of St. George staff understood our vision, they were really supportive and helpful in making it happen for us.” Adds Colling, “It was exciting to meet Chris, who has the same mindset of what a premium brand and customer experience are all about. From the start, we wanted to communicate an understanding of great design. We both strongly believe—as does everyone at The Foundry—if we can impact the quality of someone’s home, facility, a hospital or a commercial building, we’ll have a positive impact on the community.” The 40,000-square-foot Riverwoods Mill building crafts and distributes high-end cabinets, millwork and hardware, while Henriksen Butler specializes in CONTINUED >

creating what it calls “human-centered spaces,” offering furniture—including premium brands Herman Miller and Knoll—accessories, flooring and specialty storage systems. Over at Lovesac, committed audiophiles will find a range of sectional furnishings, most featuring embedded sound systems for a fully immersive experience. Those lusting after custom metal structures to top off their kitchen ranges and counters, or to impress guests at the front door, will find one-of-a-kind designs at Coppertop Metals. For custom windows and other glasswork, Desert Star Glass combines artistry and functionality. Once home construction is complete, Cosy House can curate a collection of unique, high-quality furnishings, accessories—from linens to area rugs to hand-soap—that hew to the concept of “simplistic, effortless living.” It’s an end-to-end vision Peterson says is shared by all six Foundry companies: “Our intent is to make good designs, good products and a good experience. We all support each other in that mission: Riverwoods sends people to Cosy if we feel they’d be better served by buying a piece of furniture, versus our making it for them. We want to create an environment that makes people’s day-to-day lives better; an environment to be in, to create in and to enjoy.” With designers, contractors, builders and architects from Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and other environs seeking out The Foundry’s unique product offerings, Peterson and Colling have a winning formula. The requests from like-minded suppliers clamoring for space on the campus grow daily, and Peterson admits Riverwoods has contracts booked two years out. “We could have filled 20 acres,” he laughs. “We could use a lighting store, fireplaces, paints; there’s so much demand here. But we’re especially happy the city has seen a different vision of how a business like ours can function: Even with manufacturing inside, we can have an attractive campus with buildings with beautiful storefronts the community will love to visit.” Visit online at thefoundrycampus.com.

“The home’s open f loor plan is great for entertaining, with large windows throughout the back for views of the yard and pool area.”

Recently, my husband Patrick and I spent an afternoon with Betsy Wilson, who, with her husband Kevin, bought a home from us, a home our family treasured for 25 years, purchased from original owners, Jerry and Lee Marsden. The home captures intimations of a Frank Lloyd Wright Prairie Home, popular in the early 1900s. Wright created a uniquely American architecture stirred by the Midwest landscape known as the Prairie style. He believed designing houses in harmony with nature would improve the health and well-being of the families living within. Characteristics of his Prairie Home include horizontal lines suggestive of flat prairie landscapes, hipped roofs extending beyond the walls, creating a feeling of protection, and patios and terraces filled with plants. Wright’s homes exhibited open f loor plans with spacious living areas and varied ceiling heights. Often prairie homes featured a large fireplace, brickwork and ceilings so high they seemed to reach “God’s own sky.” He believed such spaces were the heart of the home, where he envisioned jovial family gatherings. Wright named windows “light screens,” which in a Prairie Home, lined the walls of rooms, allowing natural light to provide a feeling of warmth. These elements beckoned us to this St. George home after spending a decade and a half in Hong Kong’s high rises, 25 floors high. Talking with Betsy, we discovered the elements that beckoned us to this home also beckoned her and Kevin. “Sugar Leo Road” she said, “is a beautiful street, with unique homes on large lots.” “With Kevin being

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

a Las Vegas commuter, Bloomington is an ideal location for southbound freeway access.” The simplicity and functionality of the home’s architecture is inviting. Says Betsy, “The home’s open floor plan is great for entertaining, with large windows throughout the back for views of the yard and pool area.” She mentioned her favorite external feature is the wood shingle hip roof—and indoors, she and her family love the fireplaces. “This is a great home, particularly the back yard, which is perfect for hosting a teenage pool party on a Saturday evening or relaxing with the family on Sunday afternoons.” I recalled the weddings, receptions, and socials we hosted, and the times singer songwriters entertained crowds in the great room or the living room. The home creates an atmosphere conducive to such pursuits. While our décor was primarily white on white, with accents of sky blue, coral and rosewood furniture, Betsy decorated the home with deeper contrasts, black and gray walls juxtaposed with blue and white accents and earth tones, light screens open to natural light. Furniture is contemporary with modern lines. The effect is stunning and refreshing. When we move from a home, our tradition is to leave something for the next owner. In this instance, we left a wood block artifact of “The Great Wave of Kanagawa,” I acquired on one of my business trips to Japan. It depicts a miniature Mount Fuji and a gigantic wave. Despite the storm and treacherous wave, the fishermen in their boats appear confident as the sun shines high, offering a yin yang effect. Entering the great room, I noticed the woodblock art Betsy had placed in the heart of the art collage—and the light screens were gleaming, witnessing past and present connections.

SPRING INTO CREATIVITY a time to artistically burst forth ARTICLE BY JANICE BROOKS PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF JANICE BROOKS

“May what I create burst forth like snow melting into a mighty waterfall, or vibrantly hued red magnolia tree seeds sprouting forth, seeking springtime sun rays. No forcing and no holding back.” –Janice Brooks It may not be difficult to experience yourself as a struggling creative artist, to dwell in the dry spells, or suffer through a stent of creative malaise. But, like springtime’s colorfully blooming desert wildflowers or icy snow transforming into flood waters, when your creative artistry sprouts forth, you’ll find yourself swirling in abundant artistic energy. Hearing musical compositions and lyrics are unstoppable in my mind. Colorful images flow onto a blank canvas at rapid speed. Poetic ruminations flow through the fingers faster than the winds of March. The imagination goes gloriously wild! And, sometimes, you may also find yourself panicked, immobilized by the sheer intensity of it all. How best to navigate creative movement when you’re caught in a creative flood or creative windstorm? Call out for help: In today’s world, most artists find they do not have enough time to create and also manage one’s online presence. Perhaps, you might consider hiring a spunky high school student or a savvy grandma to set up and manage your online social media platforms and presence. Find a new creative refuge: Take a creative “spring break,” a temporary hiatus from peripheral demands and social commitments. And most of all, be “creatively” brave! Take a picture of your desk or studio to email to friends and colleagues with a note: “Having the time of my life; will get back to you when I finish my project.” Put on a “creative” lifejacket and float on the waves of fresh spring water: Make this your jump in (or off, if you’re scared) point. It will take all your courage and fortitude to stay off the safe, marginally unproductive edge.

(of tomorrow), signifies literally “putting forward until tomorrow.” Originally, the term was descriptive, not judgmental—a neutral word meaning postponement. And even though procrastination now carries a pejorative connotation, it does not describe a motive. If you find yourself floating in creative flood waters, “putting forward” toward your destination, becomes part of the meandering creative process to get there. REMEMBER: beautiful flowers sometimes burst forth through dry, cracked terrains.
