Samantha Farris | samantha.farris@citylifestyle.com

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. Author Wendy Wunder said, “The magic thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back.”As we thought about home - we wanted to highlight what makes it special to our readers. That of course includes the food and drinks, the aesthetic and design, but most importantly - the people. We feel like the lucky ones as we got to learn more about the businesses and individuals that comprise this city and hope the small lens into their lives and work brings people in this community together. As you flip through the pages of this issue, we hope you’ll feel encouraged and 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!

HGTV Star Wendell Holland ARTICLE BY JAY GRISHAM

As the co-host of HGTV’s Hot Mess House and winner of season 36 of Survivor: Ghost Island, Wendell Holland has had enormous success. But prior to making his way onto the screen of television sets across America, Wendell spent his entire life building - building his mind, building his dreams, and building with his hands. Growing up in Philadelphia, Wendell’s father was a successful attorney. And when he wasn’t working on court cases, he was enlisting the help of his son for projects around the house. “My dad is an attorney but he is a very hard working man and he instilled that in me,” Wendell says. “He could have hired contractors to frame out our basement when I was growing up, or frame out the attic. But he went down there and he was doing it himself, and I would help him out at building these things. I remember having my friends come over and help put drywall up and things like that.” While it was still just a hobby at this point in young Wendell’s life, it was building the foundation for his future success. After graduating high school in Philadelphia, Wendell graduated magna cum laude from Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia with a degree in International Studies; and seemed poised to follow in his father’s footsteps by attending the University of Pennsylvania Law School. It was around this time that Wendell started to turn the skills he had built up over the years into more than just a hobby.

“As a broke college student, me and my roommate didn’t have a lot of stuff so I built our coffee table and some other things around the house. And after law school, when I was working as a law clerk, I didn’t have much of a budget so I decided to build my own bed. I was so proud of it that I posted it on social media and it generated a lot of response. So I put the bed for sale online and it sold, which showed me there was some kind of a market out there.” Wendell built three more beds shortly thereafter, and began building and selling furniture online after work and on the weekends. When the judge that he worked for retired, Wendell decided to start building full time, creating his own furniture company, Beve Unlimited. While Wendell had a successful legal career and furniture business, there was still one dream that had remained exactly that - a dream. For over five years, Wendell had submitted audition tapes and attended casting calls to appear on the hit TV series Survivor. Finally, after auditioning and being passed over for Survivor seasons 18 through 35, Wendell was selected to be a contestant for season 36. “I think I got on at the right time in my life because of course my career just changed, but also I had had successes and failures. I was 33 years old, I’m not this 20 year old kid that’s just living on a reality show. And I think that is what really helped me win, CONTINUED >

having that life experience and being competitive and knowing the show; but also me not being accepted on my first application. I think it is a testament to not giving up and just continuing to try different things and reinvent yourself.” Knowing this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, Wendell wanted to make the most of it by using his time on Survivor to show off his personality, as well as his building skills to help create positive rapport with the other Survivor contestants. Not to mention the millions of people who would be watching when the season finally aired. “Going into Survivor I knew win, lose, or draw, if I could be sent on an island with essentially nothing and could build some cool stuff, then maybe someone out there might see it. And that’s kind of what happened. So we got out there and we didn’t have a lot of tools, but I built this awesome shelter and all these cool things. I even built games for us to make people a little more comfortable, which I guess made me a little more likable.” But what Wendell wasn’t expecting was that the contestants weren’t the only ones appreciating his skills. “We would come back from a challenge on a different island and we would get back to our island and walk up, and I would see some producers and members of the tv production crew playing some of my games.” Filming took place in June 2017, but the season didn’t air until the following February, with the season finale airing in May 2018. So after winning Survivor: Ghost Island, and the million dollar prize that it comes with, Wendell had to keep it all a secret for 8 long months. Little did he know that even though his Survivor season had officially ended, his reality TV career was just getting started. Soon after the Survivor season aired a TV production company from Philadelphia, with shows on a variety of networks, told Wendell that they had noticed his building talents during Survivor and wanted to develop him for HGTV. “As a builder, it was a dream come true because HGTV is the network for design and building and all of those things. So they started pitching ideas to HGTV and pairing me with different co-hosts.” And just as he had been doing since building out the basement with his father in his childhood home, Wendell diligently used the opportunity to study and fine-tune his craft. “I believe that we can learn and grow and get better every day,” Wendell says, before telling stories of being paired with HGTV co-host Carrie Locklyn of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. “They had us working together for about six months shooting a pilot. And every day I would just watch how she would present herself, how she would stand; her posture, how she would stand close to me in our interviews, all of these things. I would just soak it up.” Even though the pilot they spent six months shooting didn’t get picked up by HGTV, it was enough CONTINUED > MAR CH 2 0 2 3 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/TR O P HY W E ST

“As a builder, it was a dream come true because HGTV is the network for design and building and all of those things. So they started pitching ideas to HGTV and pairing me with different co-hosts.” -Wendell Holland to get noticed. A few months later, Wendell received a call from an executive from HGTV saying they wanted to place him in some other shows they were developing themselves. “I have a philosophy, which is essentially a mantra that all reality TV people have to have: if you stay ready then you don’t have to get ready. Because in the reality TV world, you might work on a project for months that doesn’t get picked up, but somebody might see your performance or your talents and they might be developing a project that you would be perfect for.” Wendell recalls how he got the co-hosting gig for the HGTV show, Hot Mess House. His agent got a call on a Sunday saying they needed a co-host for an entire season that will start filming in New York City, that coming Tuesday. “I think I had three days to figure it out and pack, make my beard look cute and all of that,” Wendell says with a chuckle. Hot Mess House is an HGTV show co-hosted by Wendell and Cassandra Aarssen. Cassandra goes in and helps people declutter and organize their home and then Wendell builds out whatever is needed for the new space. Noting that a lot of the clients on the show have hoarder-like tendencies, Wendell is proud of the fact that they use their show not to belittle or humiliate the

EXP E RT H E LP | HOM E + DE S I GN

home owners, but to dig deeper and figure out why they have those tendencies and truly help them overcome them. Wendell says his most memorable and most challenging HGTV show has been Beach Cabana Royale, a design competition show hosted by Snooki from Jersey Shore. For the show, the contestants were taken to a luxury beach club in Atlantic Beach on Long Island and were tasked to renovate a beach cabana storage unit for wealthy patrons to store their things while they enjoy the amenities of the beach club. “It was just a really cool opportunity to be on another HGTV show and get out of my comfort zone. I really needed to just take a risk and although I didn’t win the competition aspect of it, when the show aired they gave me great screen time. And just being there and performing my best allowed many other opportunities to open up. I remember every single day when I’d leave home for grade school as I walked out the door my mother would give me a hug and say, ‘I love you, do your best.’ So I’ve just gone out and done my best at every stage of life, and very fortunately, the universe has been very kind to me. I’ve lived a very blessed life, and the majority of it is attributed to my parents doing a great job with me and my two sisters.”

LEGACIES BUILT TO LAST There’s no place like home and for most, there’s no larger investment. We caught up with one of our Founding Partners, Jeffrey Swearingen, Owner of Ascendus Financial Advisors, to share his expertise on how to protect your largest investment and most importantly, your family’s legacy.

JEFFREY SWEARINGEN TROPHY WEST CITY LIFESTYLE (TWCL): SHOULD INDIVIDUALS LOOK AT HOME OWNERSHIP AS AN INVESTMENT? JEFFREY SWEARINGEN (JS): Yes owning a home is an investment, and while there is no guarantee it will increase in cash value depending on the length of time you own the property, historically the value of property does increase over time and can be passed on through generations.

TWCL: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR TEXAS FAMILIES? JS: Under current tax law when a property is properly passed to heirs it does so at current value or stepped-up cost basis. Meaning the heirs should not have a tax liability on the “up to now” growth of that asset. Recent property value increases have meant this “tax savings” is significant in many cases and should be considered in proper estate and financial planning models.

“In our offices we believe most families should own Real Estate beyond their primary home.” ARTICLE BY JEFFREY SWEARINGEN, TROPHY WEST MAGAZINE

F IN A N CIA L BU Z Z | FIN ANCE + LE GAL S E RVI CE S

TWCL: SO DOES OWNING OTHER PROPERTY MAKE SENSE AS AN INVESTMENT? JS: That is individualized. In our offices we believe most families should own Real Estate beyond their primary home. That may be direct owned property or though one of many investment platforms we bring to the table for our clients.

TWCL: HOW CAN YOU PROTECT YOURSELF AS A HOMEOWNER? JS: Tax-Law and Property Values are beyond each of our direct control; however, utilizing proper Estate and Financial Planning techniques are the best defense. Proper titling of assets (including property deeds) creation of Wills, Trusts, and LLC’s all play a role. Especially for property owned out of state, without effective planning heirs often find themselves having to probate an estate and properties in multiple states, this takes extended time and money. In some cases a poorly executed Trust or Plan could actually create a larger tax bill for that property and the heirs, the result of un-intended consequences.

TWCL: GOOD PLANNING GONE BAD? JS: Unfortunately, yes. I see this when a non-client comes in looking for options to protect inherited investment accounts which are being wiped out by ongoing estate related attorney bills, tax payments, etc. There is no “one answer” to effective planning and is why we work with each of our clients individually, along with their CPA and Attorney to create an overall Financial Plan to reduce the risk of unintended consequences which result in a loss of, or significant decrease to, their financial Legacy.

Determine which items you actually need and use regularly, and donate anything you haven’t used in a year or two.

March 20 is the first official day of spring, which means it is time to give your home a deep spring cleaning! If your home has developed a lot of clutter it can be overwhelming to know where to begin. So here are some tips to help you declutter your home. Focus on one room (or even one zone within a room) at a time. Complete each job fully before moving on to the next space. Bathrooms: Start by discarding outdated medications, makeup, and skincare products. If you’re holding onto a product that only has a little bit left, give yourself a month to use it – if you don’t, throw it away. Bedrooms and Closets: One of the most common culprits for clutter is laundry. Make sure your laundry baskets are easy to access so you won’t be tempted to leave dirty socks on the floor, and establish a spot to neatly store clothes that you intend to wear again. Kids’ toys can be kept in baskets, toy chests or even shelves in the bedroom. If you find

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 OM/TR O P HY W E ST

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.

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

Brooke’s Pro Tip: 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.

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.
