Every Home Has a Story

I can still smell the cookies in my mother’s kitchen. Warm sugar and butter drifting through the house, settling into every room, waiting for my Dad, my sister and myself to follow the smells of cinnamon coming from the oven. I remember standing barefoot on cool tile, the afternoon light slanting through the window, the quiet hum of a place that felt alive even when no one was speaking. Homes hold moments like these without asking, absorbing laughter, arguments,

Along one wall were the pencil marks, crooked and fading, tracking how tall my sister and I grew year after year. Each line carried a date, a season, a version of us that is only a memory now. Down the hallway were scuffs from chasing our dog and each other too fast, and a doorframe that still knew the sound of small hands slamming it shut. This house knew when love felt full and when it felt fragile. It heard footsteps at night and understood what it meant to wait.

On birthdays, the living room and kitchen became a kind of miracle. I still remember my mother’s smile and my father’s big laughter, and my parents’ wide eyes watching us learning to balance for the first time riding our bicycles down the driveway. That house witnessed fear turning into confidence in a matter of seconds, which turned into years. It watched us grow older without

My mother, who has been a real estate agent for over forty years, always said homes were living things. They breathe with the families inside them, and they grieve when those families leave. When it’s time to sell a home, the question isn’t only about square footage or price. It’s about who tells its story. Because a house’s story is never empty of meaning. Someone just has

PUBLISHERS’ LETTER

Welcome to the January issue of AHM! Our focus this month is on the kitchen. Realtors often say that if you want to add value to your home, upgrade your kitchen. But the value of a kitchen isn’t just monetary. For coffee drinkers, it is our first destination upon awakening. Breakfast, the most important meal of the day, is served here. Dinner materializes just in time. When we are home, we are in and out of the kitchen throughout the day, often gathering with family and friends for a meal we have prepared (or, when we need convenience and efficiency, ordered in or bought).

Kitchens demand so much attention because they are a central focus of the modern home, unlike in earlier centuries when they were hidden from view. The William Paca House, built in 1763, comes to mind. Centered by a giant hearth, this kitchen is located on a lower level, towards the back of the house, tucked away from the home’s central receiving and living areas. Although just as important to daily life during the Colonial era, there was no need for family-style seating or for a floorplan conducive to entertaining! Can you imagine a wealthy William Paca, who had enslaved people, chopping onions and chatting with Samuel Chase?

In our homes, the kitchen is a gathering space and a refuge for heart and soul. Plus, the kitchen today has so many parts—often highly complex arrangements of cabinetry and appliances along with a whole assortment of useful pots, pans, and utensils in an endless variety of colors, materials, and designs.

Over the last several months, we have visited and reviewed many kitchens and have selected six especially distinctive ones to share with you. They are kitchens exquisitely designed by professionals devoted to the study of human behavior, spatial dimensions, and how a body moves through space.

In addition to this spotlight on recently completed new kitchens, we feature two homes that have been radically remodeled, designed by architects who are aware of the kitchen’s importance in the spatial flow of a home. There is much more in our pages for you, including how to grow a magnificent winter-flowering magnolia and a restaurant review of InGrano in West Annapolis.

Onward with 2026!

The light-filled library with new millwork was once part of a dark, aimless addition that spanned the back of the house.

Soul & Patina in washington, d.c.

The once-dingy kitchen underwent a complete makeover and is meant to look both old and new, with pale pink cabinetry and large windows that encourage natural light. The black-and-white reclaimed marble floor is meant to look as if it had always been there.

Whena couple with a young family purchased a 8,110-square-foot home in a D.C. suburb, they felt the space was overly formal with erratic appointments, including angels frolicking on the bathroom ceiling, a mosaic fountain in the great room, and ornate gold escutcheons. “It was a little ‘Hugh Hefner’” is one way of putting it, according to VW of Fowlkes Studio, a D.C.-based firm specializing in architecture and interiors. He and his partner Catherine Fowlkes freshened up and lightened all 14 rooms in the house, revising it from top to bottom. Built in 1925, many misguided renovations over the years had confused its identity. “It was nondescript... it did not know what kind of house it was. It was a little schizophrenic, and we got it under control,” explains Catherine.

Because the owners wanted to honor some of the home’s traditional elements, the architects did not gut the interior. Rather, their approach was more surgical, explains VW. Among other things, they reconfigured the floor plan, changed the sizes of the rooms, added millwork, and replaced all the windows and most of the light fixtures. They selected artistic custom furnishings and window treatments meant to counterbalance the home’s more traditional dark floors and crown molding. They also gave it the character the homeowners desired. “In reality, we were taking something that felt almost too stuffy and infusing it with a little bit more soul and patina,” explains Catherine.

Behind the family/breakfast area is a mud room with custom cabinetry accessed by pocket doors.

The main issue they faced was circulation. Put simply, the floor plan was muddled and lacked hierarchy and cohesion. “There is an intuitive way of understanding public and private spaces in a home. Sometimes you know where to go. Sometimes you feel a little bit unmoored, and this was an example of that. You went through a room that didn’t make sense to another room rather than understanding how you could potentially circulate in a more intuitive way,” says Catherine.

For example, on the first floor, one long dark giant room in the back spanned the width of the house without a clear purpose. They installed a custom glass-and-steel partition about a third of the way through and added arched windows, creating one of the home’s most poignant spaces: a living room with a grand fireplace and adjoining library with elegant light fixtures, custom shelving, and crisp white walls. “Now this room is laid out in a symmetrical manner around the fireplace. It had been so large that it was hard to furnish and hard to occupy,” notes VW. To further lighten the space, they chose eclectic furnishings conducive to game nights and relaxation.

The kitchen, once dingy and cramped, received a makeover, including pale pink cabinetry painted in a shade called Dusty Trail by Benjamin Moore.“It’s a blend of new and old,” notes Catherine.

The look of this once-plain room was elevated by a new mantel, flanked by contemporary sconces.

“We were taking something that felt almost too stuffy and infusing it with a little bit more soul and patina.”

– Catherine Fowlkes

In a significant move, the team merged the kitchen with the adjacent hallway and original dining room, creating one large eat-in kitchen. The informal dining area has a round table, spindle dining chairs by Four Hands, and a pendant by Hay. A reclaimed black-and-white marble floor is meant to look as if it had always been there. Behind the kitchen is a handy mudroom accessed by a frosted sliding glass door.

In the dining room, they replaced the fireplace mantel with one from D.C. Mantels and added sconces to give it “the heft it needed.” Some walls are covered in blue patterned wallpaper by Mind the Gap, and others painted Hague Blue by Farrow and Ball. Hanging over the fireplace is one of the client’s art pieces, creating a “maximalist moment,” notes Catherine.

A problem area was a dark adjunct space located behind the homeowner’s office. The team repurposed this into a kid’s room inspired by the nursery in Peter Pan. It may be the charming window seat, giant antique library table, and painted brick fireplace, but rather than experiencing

zenosyne—the sense that time keeps getting faster—one feels that the world has slowed down for the children and settled into place.

The master bedroom has soothing earth tones accentuated by smoky blue paint called De Nimes by Farrow and Ball. In the primary bath, the Sistine Chapel-inspired winged putti on the ceiling have been replaced by new millwork that “feels fresher and cleaner.” Updates include a bleached walnut and tile counter, new lighting, and a rug found on First Dibs. A terrace with impermeable paving, a whimsical railing designed by Fowlkes Studio, and comfortable furnishings replace a plain pre-existing balcony with an iron balustrade.

Now that the home is finished, VW reflects that every surface has been “touched.” Clarity has replaced confusion, and the homeowners have defined spaces conducive to family life. With all the devotion this once “nondescript” home has received, the word “space” seems reductive. This family residence is more like a vessel containing sacred, mindful objects or an ancient illustrated storybook opened mid-way, with pages left to fill.

Once an awkward split level, this home has been transformed inside and out, including the landscape.

THE RUN THAT LED AN ARNOLD COUPLE HOME

by Walinda P. West

Artwork throughout the home maps their travels and history.

This once dark, segmented room now has a wall of windows opening to a deck.

WhenJenna Whitney and her husband Mark were living in a congested section of Howard County, their daily escape was a specific stretch of the 13.3-mile Baltimore & Annapolis Trail in Arnold. It was where they ran, reset, and found the kind of peace and quiet that felt increasingly rare when they were government employees with high-intensity workdays. Over time, that familiar route—framed by woodlands and expansive views—became more than a running path; it shaped their understanding of what home should feel like.

“I always ran by this area,” Jenna Whitney says. “I’d look around and say: ‘Who gets to live here?’” Eventually, the answer became clear. Their running refuge became a real estate imperative, leading them first to Glen Oban, a waterfront community on the northwestern edge of Arnold. They lived there for a decade, raising two children and reimagining the home architecturally. The one thing they could never design their way out of: the constant hum of Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard. “We loved the house and all the work we had done,” Whitney says, “but we couldn’t change where it was. Mark kept saying, ‘I don’t envision this as our forever home.’ He wanted quiet—a step back from the road.”

This time, their search was more intuitive than logistical. They sought properties tucked away from traffic and rooted in the natural soundscape they’d fallen in love with years earlier. They wanted a lifestyle shaped by scenery, space, and nature, Whitney says.

They ultimately found it in the Ashby community of Arnold, just one neighborhood over. The community was perfect—but the lowslung, split-level rustic house with its dark, segmented rooms and awkward decking entry points needed a complete transformation to fully embrace its views of the Severn River and the couple’s minimalist sensibility. Whitney says she knew what they wanted, but even more importantly, what they didn’t want: “No rooms we’d never sit in. No spaces to clean just for show. Nothing extraneous.”

The kitchen was fully reimagined and oriented to face the water.

Streamlined cabinetry stretches wall-to-wall, concealing appliances.

The Whitneys worked with TailorCraft Builders of Severna Park, who recommended Annapolis-based MKS Architecture to transform the new home. MKS’s first challenge was determining how to turn the chopped-up layout into a modern, open floor plan that would honor the home’s views of the Severn River and the couple’s lifestyle. The original floor plan worked against the site: it blocked light, obscured the views, and forced circulation into tight, awkward paths and decking. The goal was to open it up, simplify the geometry, and create a calm, continuous experience within the existing footprint.

“When Jenna and Mark hired us to transform their waterfront property, they wanted a grown-up house with efficient use of space,” says Melanie Stern, MKS owner and architect. “The existing home was well-loved but needed structural help. The floors in the main living space had sagged drastically over the years, the bedroom area had multiple floor levels due to previous renovation projects, and the roof needed to be rebuilt for safety,” Stern says. “In the early stages of design, we presented options for the Whitneys to consider. The only thing we pushed was to create view corridors to the exterior in every room or space, bringing the scenery into any vantage point in the house.”

The transformation began outside. What had been a wood-clad contemporary tucked quietly into the landscape is now a striking modern residence with a gallery-like presence. The original wraparound deck and weathered cedar siding gave way to a bold architectural language: deep charcoal cladding, warm horizontal wood accents, sculptural lines, and expansive panes of glass that frame the property’s best views. A crisp white lower level grounds the composition, while railings and cantilevered balconies bring a sense of airiness. The redesign elevates the home from rustic retreat to modern statement—celebrating form, function, and setting.

Inside, the renovation reimagined every level. The former garage became a dedicated office for Mark—an engineering executive— as well as a gym and an additional bedroom. The main living and dining areas were reshaped into one spacious pavilion, with oversized operable casement windows that pull natural light across the floors from morning to evening. “Natural light and ventilation were extremely important to Jenna,” Stern says. “She prefers not to use air conditioning and loves being able to open windows.” Concealed shades provide privacy and glare control when needed; otherwise, the river becomes the room’s artwork.

The kitchen was fully reimagined and oriented to face the water. Streamlined cabinetry stretches wall to wall, concealing appliances and creating the calm aesthetic the couple wanted. Soft cabinet lighting highlights the textures of the materials without overwhelming the space. Designed for indoor and outdoor living, an outdoor bar area was created just outside the kitchen window. An awning window opens nearly 90 degrees, providing cover over the kitchen tasks. “While I’m washing dishes, I can watch TV,” Jenna Whitney jokes. “I don’t mind being in the kitchen at all. It’s lovely.”

Wall-mounted step lights illuminate the open staircase leading to the upstairs, where renovation became a study in subtraction. The architect worked together with the couple to peel away decades of visual weight that crowded the eye. The bedrooms were reframed as quiet sanctuaries. The primary suite, with its fourpanel slider, creates nearly a full wall of glass facing the water that opens to the deck. The palette—warm whites, driftwood, soft textiles—reflects the couple’s desire for a space free of distraction. The headboard, made of live oak, was repurposed from a table the couple had in their previous house, reflecting their desire to not let anything go to waste.

The primary suite, with its four-panel slider, creates nearly a full wall of glass facing the water that opens to the deck.

The primary bath flows from the bedroom and has similar modern finishes unified with gray monochromatic colors.

The transformation of the upper deck includes an outdoor bar and fireplace.

Each removed element brought the house closer to what the homeowners wanted, and each new feature added meaning. Despite the minimalist foundation, the décor is personal and bold, says Lisa Tullai, principal of Annapolis Interiors, who worked with the Whitneys on interior finishes, selections, and furniture placement. “Jenna is daring and has distinctive taste. She is not afraid of color or abstracts. It was refreshing and fun to work with her,” Tullai says.

Throughout the home, every piece of art carries a story. A piano— purchased while the couple was stationed in Russia—sits as a focal point and reminder of a significant chapter in their lives. Artwork throughout the home maps their travels and history. The homeowners wanted the architecture to step back so their pieces could step forward. The result is a home that feels personal—modern in form, but filled with meaning and memory. The home no longer resembles the dark split-level house they first walked into. It now embodies the serenity they used to chase during early morning runs along the B&A Trail. AH

Six talented professionals reveal that kitchen design in the 21st century is limited only by the imagination! With appliances that blend into walls and comfortable furnishings, the bustling centers of our homes are also peaceful sanctuaries.

A Design that Shines

by Kymberly Taylor

Photography by David Burroughs

Whenadventurous homeowners gave designer Sandra Steiner-Houck instructions to create a “one-ofa-kind wow kitchen,” the result was symphonic. Steiner-Houck composed an ultra-modern design using materials, finishes, and objects as instruments. They include glossy exotic veneers, porcelain, leather, white glass, and an astonishing necklace-inspired chandelier suspended over the kitchen island.

It all began three years ago when Steiner-Houck’s clients hired ABS Architects to remodel their traditional Annapolis home, including a dated kitchen with buttery yellow cabinets and granite countertops. Angela Phelan of ABS set the tone by enlarging and redefining the space. She added long windows for natural light, moved walls, and reduced doorways to open up the room. A key move was to add a scullery behind the main kitchen with a sink, dishwasher, two ovens, and coffee bar.

With highly glossed fumed Paldao cabinetry, white back-painted glass rangehood, and porcelain island and counters, the kitchen shimmers and shines. “The whole kitchen feels like a gem… It’s not just one thing; it’s everything. Angela started it. She created the footprint and the parameters architecturally. She gave us the beautiful space to step into and embellish,” reflects Steiner-Houck.

One “embellishment” is a glistening chandelier from Visual Comfort & Co. that performs a solo with lyrical loops suspended from the ceiling. “It was a unique piece that the client fell in love with… but the team had to figure out

the length, placement, how many to use, and the configuration to create what feels like an art piece,” recalls Steiner-Houck.

Adding a dash of drama, the chandelier is mirrored by the fumed Paldao cabinets, which have a “rub and buff” automotive finish. The cabinets form two columns that flank the TV and contain a Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer. Beneath is a generous pullout drawer for more storage. The veneer’s honey gold highlights complement the warmth of the natural pine floor without competing with it, explains Steiner-Houck.

The design tempo is sustained in the scullery, which, like the kitchen, has white back-painted glass cabinetry. The bar, which is right off the kitchen, has chagrin leather cabinets trimmed in brass. Fumed Paldao reappears in its curved cabinetry and backsplash.

Music has many dimensions. In this case, subtle visual melodies complement the architecture while creating a harmony specific to the family—and the bar and scullery’s fine cabinetry and appointments echo the distinct design rhythms of the main kitchen like a refrain.

Waterfront Wind-down

ON DIVIDING CREEK

by Dylan Roche

Photography by Steve Buchanan

“Everything in the house is geared toward the water,” Gina Fitzsimmons says of this home situated on Dividing Creek off the Magothy River. That includes the kitchen—maybe even especially the kitchen, whose transitional design blends classic elegance with modern functionality. With its sea-green coloring and airy openness, it offers a relaxed environment ideal for summertime entertaining: inviting and refined, and subtly coastal, of course.

“We wanted to do something that would fit in with the coastal look of the rest of the house,” Fitzsimmons continues. “We pulled that sea-green color because it reminded the client of water, and she loves all blues and greens.”

But it isn’t just the color—in this case, it’s the Moon Bay finish from Fieldstone Cabinetry that gives the kitchen its coastal feel. The redesign added a window over the sink that looks directly at the water, and the sliding glass doors open out onto a waterfront deck for al fresco dining when the weather allows. This expansive glass, along with the high ceilings, gives the kitchen its sense of bigness, openness, and airiness.

The same shade of Moon Bay blue-green also appears in the distinctive mosaic tiles on the backsplash, sourced from Compass Studio Tile and Flooring. This tilework pairs well with the lightly colored quartz countertop that features subtle blue veining.

The dark stain of the island and hood provides a dramatic contrast and nicely anchors the otherwise light elements of the kitchen. The matte-finish honey bronze of the hardware gives a pop of warmth to the cool blue-green and dramatic stain. “The hardware really brings in the gold tones but softens it,” Fitzsimmons says. There’s also a sense of contrast between the warm wood floors and the sleek modernity of the stainless-steel appliances.

KITCHEN #3

The kitchen’s inviting aspect complements its seating options, partially inspired by the seamlessness between spaces in the home. “We wanted to extend the kitchen out into the living room space a bit because we had some extra room between the kitchen and where the furnishings for the living room started,” Fitzsimmons explains. The built-in cushioned banquette at the end of the island, which cozies up to the kitchen table, creates the perfect seating area, whether it’s for a casual meal or just a little bit of working from home. The table and island together have seating for ten people—and there’s more when counting the outdoor seating on the deck beyond the glass doors. It’s a kitchen for entertaining and relaxation—with a view to match.

Calm & Collected

by Kymberly Taylor

Stacy Zarin Goldberg

Zoë Feldman’s clients had just moved from a compact Brooklyn apartment into a much larger home in a Washington, D.C. suburb. They arrived with young children and a substantial collection of art and objects gathered over years of travel. They wanted a home that could reflect that richness and complexity, and that did not have a bland, suburban feel. “Their goal was a space that felt imaginative, personal, and full of stories, rather than the typical suburban blank slate. Our job was to bring character and cohesion to the architecture while giving their pieces room to shine,” notes Feldman. Though the rest of the home celebrates color and art and has moments of boldness, they wanted their kitchen to feel calm, grounded, and quietly confident.

Feldman notes that there were plenty of challenges. Several awkward architectural features lacked warmth or cohesion. Correcting those elements was essential and gave the kitchen a sense of wholeness and integrity. “We refined ceiling transitions, adjusted proportions, and used plaster and millwork to introduce softness where the house had been visually harsh,” explains Feldman.

What distinguishes this design from others is the interplay of materials, craftsmanship, and vintage character. Feldman points out that the range hood becomes an architectural element, with a chevron detail that draws the eye upward and softens the room’s original angularity. The island stools, which are vintage Spanish

pieces from the 1970s, bring an unexpected sculptural quality that immediately gives the kitchen soul. Lighting was equally important. The pendant above the island is refined but not overly formal, and provides a focal point that connects the room’s different tones and textures. Rich walnut cabinetry, bronze hardware, and layered stone surfaces add depth and tactility, creating a kitchen that feels intentionally curated.

“The kitchen space supports the rhythm of family life while still carrying the sophistication of a home shaped by global influences. There is an ease to it. It feels collected rather than decorated, and it creates a sense of balance,” says Feldman. Now that the project is complete, the family can enjoy every room in their new home, especially the kitchen, which is warm and richly textured yet never openly showy or predictable.

A MIX OF

Stone &Steel

by Dylan Roche

Photography by Peak Visuals

When Tessea McCrary designed this organic contemporary kitchen as part of a full townhome renovation for a couple of empty-nest professionals, she had a distinct focal point: the exotic Crystal Venato quartzite backsplash. With its sprawl of black and white, with touches of cream and gold, it made an impression: “The stone reminded us of an inkblot test for a personality assessment,” McCrary says. That made it appropriate for these homeowners, who work in psychiatry, and contributed to the overall goal of creating a home that evokes emotion.

All around the distinctive backsplash, the kitchen spreads out with dark wood cabinets, polished black granite counters, and a lightcolored quartz island with double-sided waterfall edges. Black stainless-steel appliances and two-tone gunmetal hardware round out the selection of materials that work together to create an organic, contemporary style.

Because this townhome had a narrow, linear floor plan, the functional kitchen faced a blank wall—one that McCrary turned into a beverage center and bar. The same dramatic dark cabinetry frames the sleek white bar, and McCrary says, “The finishes start speaking to each other across the room in different applications.” The beverage center adds an element of interest. Glass doors for the drinkware cabinet and wine fridge with stainless steel shelves are illuminated from below by LED lights.

What makes the contemporary style organic in this kitchen is its use of materials. “It’s an all-natural-driven mentality,” McCrary says. It has the sleekness and simplicity of a contemporary room, while the stonework and the woodbeam ceiling that matches the floor, give the room a color palette you’d find in nature.

It creates an environment that’s perfect for ease and nofuss dining, something the homeowners prioritized over preparation. “They’re not cooks—they want to pick up food from their favorite restaurants and use their kitchen as a winddown area,” McCrary says. “They still want that element of ‘wining and dining’ without the work associated with that.”

With high-contrast natural materials, moody dark colors bathed in abundant natural light, and the inviting allure of a prominent beverage center, this kitchen makes for an ideal place to unwind after a busy day—and the perfect entry for an intimate yet distinctive home. AH

From the street, Marge and Fred Wolf’s 1930s Colonial Revival residence in Arnold commands attention. Its circular driveway and stately façade sit gracefully along the sweeping Magothy River, suggesting a home of timeless elegance.

Inside, the interiors live up to that promise—rooms of proportion, detail, and character—but the awkward L-shaped kitchen, tucked into a corner of the house, felt out of scale and disconnected from the grandeur that defined the rest of the home. “I like to cook, but the kitchen had traffic issues, no lighting, and no counter space,” says Marge Wolf of her home.

After 15 years in the home, with only modest updates, the Wolfs turned to longtime kitchen and bath designer Joni Zimmerman of Annapolis-based Design Solutions, Inc. to reimagine the space, ensuring it would finally measure up to the home’s architectural pedigree. “We needed to totally integrate the shape of the kitchen and bring it up to the aesthetic of the house,” Zimmerman says.

The redesigned palette—soft creams and tranquil aquas— sets a calm, cohesive tone. Beautiful cabinets from Signature Custom Cabinetry were layered to match the home’s existing flooring, beams, and grooved ceilings, creating depth while honoring the home’s history. Zimmerman drew color inspiration from the spa blue colors that the homeowners favor, echoing those same serene hues throughout the kitchen in tilework and a custom beverage station with seeded glass. After choosing top-of-the-line appliances by Wolf and Sub-Zero, the homeowners worked with Zimmerman to install a new countertop that would give them a place to linger and spend time together.

A doorway connects the kitchen to the dining room. In a spot where a window once stood, Zimmerman installed custom cabinetry. Designed as a focal point, the cabinets not only showcase the homeowners’ pottery collection; they also conceal a television behind paneled doors. At the center of the room, a round chandelier hovers above a 100-year-old walnut table inherited from Wolf’s grandmother 50 years ago. “It’s been on many journeys with us,” Wolf says. Now, she says, it’s finally home.

Wolf credits designer Zimmerman with the new kitchen that now matches the rest of the home. “Joni has a gift. She took everything into consideration and created a kitchen we never want to leave.” In its new form, the kitchen no longer feels tucked away. Instead, it holds its own—and is finally worthy of the house it serves.

Clean. Organic. Serene. These are words that Paul Lobkovich uses to describe the warm contemporary aesthetic of this kitchen with its mix of minimalist geometry and organic materials, all with a sharp attention to finely curated details. Calming white pairs with rich brown and sleek lines from the dominant island combine with the slatted ceiling to create a sense of order and structure.

Lobkovich says he and his team always start with function first and then “enhance the space with design elements that are both beautiful and practical.” In terms of functionality, the kitchen’s perpendicular workspaces create two distinct zones: the primary one with the range across from the island and its double-faucet galley sink, and a secondary one on the window wall with another sink and ample counterspace. Then there’s a small coffee station on the far side of the kitchen closest to the family room, which Lobkovich explains is “for easy access to a cup of coffee without interrupting the workflow.”

A sleek, white hood over the range serves as a focal point for the kitchen. Its square shape is softened by the modern, rounded lights over the island and the curved double faucets of the galley sink. The distinctive ceiling detail, designed by artisan builders, points toward the other workstation, where an expansive window brings in plenty of natural light and open shelves add elements of interest.

The mix of sleek white and natural brown is an example of how Lobkovich says he and his team think outside the box in terms of design. “I think that by incorporating design elements that are simple in concept yet effective in impact…, we keep our designs feeling fresh for years to come,” he says. “We try to stray away from specific trends that are popular just because they are a trend.” But he notes they do embrace trends when they’re functional. For example, he says, workstation sinks, such as the second sink in this design, are increasingly popular.

Even with functionality in mind, this kitchen serves as a reminder that the work done in a kitchen doesn’t have to be stressful. With its highly cohesive use of straight lines and organic shapes, white stone and natural wood, it proves that a kitchen can indeed be a harmonious and calming part of the house.

The High-Heeled Gardener

Ancient Star of the Garden

by Kymberly Taylor

Native to Japan’s Honshu highlands, the Star magnolia has a fragrant “precocious” 3- to 4-inch pure white flower that transitions to light pink.

Inthe soft darkness of late winter, the Star magnolia’s sleeping flower buds catch the eye. Covered in silvery fur that insulates the buds from the cold, Magnolia stellata’s star-shaped flowers will soon unfold, even before foliage appears. Without leaves to interfere with the view, its blossoms create a sparkling, meteor-like show that lightens the heart and seems unworldly at the same time.

Hold one in your palm and examine the long, slim, pure white petals. While breathing in its fragrance, envision a young earth filled with steaming jungles and a 25-foot-tall Alamosaurus (the size of a house) feeding on its leaves. According to the Harvard Arboretum, magnolias, including the Star magnolia, are one of the most primitive flowering plants, with fossil records dating back over 95 million years, including the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs dominated the continent. This makes them older than bees and butterflies. In fact, they were first pollinated by beetles. Native to Japan, its tendency to flower early without leaves is called “precocious flowering,” an evolutionary strategy to attract early pollinators before leaves obstruct the blossoms.

My mother’s Star magnolia amazes us both. Silhouetted by the Magothy River, it is always the first shrub to bloom, becoming a still life painting in the austere landscape. At first, I thought this small tree was a pussy willow as its branches were covered with fuzzy corns as soft as kittens. However, as these buds swelled almost imperceptibly with every passing day, releasing blossoms emitting a luscious perfume, I realized they revealed something I needed: patience. After flowering in late spring, buds form but remain dormant for almost a year. In late February, the right temperature coaxes them into the world just in time to feed pollinators, ensure their own survival, and lift us with their ice-white beauty. Humans, pollinators, and our planet receive what we want and need simultaneously. This unconscious harmony fills the crisp winter air with power.

If you have space for this slow-growing compact shrub, treat yourself and buy one! The Star magnolia does especially well in Maryland, as it is low-maintenance, exceptionally hardy, and deer-resistant. Plant in deep, acidic soil in full sun and prune after flowering. Propagate by taking root cuttings after the flower buds have formed. In this simple way, you can share your Star with friends and celebrate its expanding skies.

Straight Up on Dining Out

InGrano A Culinary Safari

by Christine Fillat

There are places in Annapolis where you go for a great meal. There are places where you go for a certain cuisine. There are places where you go to be seen. And there are grown-up places you go for a grown-up meal. InGrano in West Annapolis is a chic scene, where the people-watching is just as interesting as the food. This is the place where you go to have a different sort of meal, where the offerings consist of ingredient combinations you might not expect.

Luxury Starts Below Ground

This is an adventurous menu. Some dishes on the menu reflect a mash-up of world cuisine from places like Japan and Italy, Mexico and Peru. Whatever you choose, you can expect flavors that are disparate but usually find their way to work together. Consider yourself on a culinary safari.

Cicchetti is literally a quick bite you would order in the city of Venice while standing around in a bar with a cocktail or a glass of wine. In the Cicchetti section of the InGrano menu, expect to find small plates consisting of such things as Yellowtail “cannoli,” wagyu meatballs, smoked scallops with passionfruit pearls, and a selection of Spanish morsels.

Lasagne Dumplings is a hot plateful of wagyu beef ravioli in a satisfying tomato and vodka sauce, served with a smattering of cheese and microgreens. These dumplings are very pleasing and, since they are filled with beef, a bit on the heavy side. The Peruvian “Gordita” Crunch is a row of crisp black bean shells filled with Ibérico ham and laced with a Peruvian whipped huancaína cheese sauce and rings of tangy ceviche-marinated onion. This dish is like taking a journey into an unknown gastronomic territory. It is also a bit on the heavy side, but still good.

The main courses are more mainstream, with such dishes as Pork Chop “Milanese,” Filet Mignon, and Chilean Seabass. The Black Cod is basted in a ginger miso glaze, with lemongrass basmati rice, sitting on top of a Fresno-chili carrot purée. The cod is a pretty piece of fish, nicely presented on the rice with a puddle of the carrot purée; in all, this is a very tasty but rather mild dish. The Wagyu Short Rib Wellington is a spectacular presentation in which the well-cooked short rib encased in a pretty pastry is served atop heirloom carrots and an apple brandy demi-glace.

Desserts deserve special attention. Consider the artistic presentation of the glutenfree pavlova. Served on a slate platter, this colorful dessert with its daubs of meringue, blueberry mousse, yuzu curd, and raspberry pistachio dust is pretty to look at and a delight to taste. The Snickers Tart is a dream for anyone who holds Snickers bars near and dear to their heart. This interpretation features homemade nougat, salted peanut caramel, chocolate mousse, whipped cream, and vanilla ice cream. It’s very, very satisfying.

Chef Adam Pusateri (with co-owner Mack Lewnes) has created a formidable restaurant here in West Annapolis, to go along with his bakery off of Riva Road. InGrano is housed in a charming cottage renovation designed by The Drawing Board architects, but soon, it will be moving into an additional space in the historic Maryland Inn, where they will open a café.

InGrano offers different dining experiences, including prix fixe tasting menus that change monthly.
