Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine.

Apple Hill<br />
Farmstead Cottage<br />
Located in Camino<br />
This adorable rental could be described any<br />
number of ways: rustic-chic meets vintage<br />
camp cabin, or perhaps natural farmstead<br />
meets luxury wooded getaway. No matter<br />
what words you choose, it certainly looks<br />
like the stunning home was designed by<br />
professionals. And in fact, it was.<br />
The home’s builders own Placerville<br />
Nelson Tile & Construction Co. and have<br />
been restoring and remodeling in the area<br />
for nearly four decades. This home was their<br />
“quarantine project,” and they used lumber<br />
and materials milled from trees on their<br />
family ranch to expand the space and update<br />
the cottage—giving the space an artisan look<br />
as unique as the building itself.<br />
The historical cottage dating back to the<br />
late-19th century was renovated with design<br />
elements that pay homage to its past. Inside,<br />
parts of the original wood-beam ceiling is<br />
exposed, as are richly colored hardwood<br />
floors and white shiplap walls, accented by<br />
minimalist brass hardware. The romantic<br />
woodland vibe continues outside, where a<br />
small deck overlooking the creek hosts a hot<br />
tub and fire pit, with exposed market lights<br />
hanging from the gabled roof.<br />
Sleeps 2<br />
$217+/night<br />

Folsom Sanctuary<br />
Located in Folsom<br />
If you need a mental break from the last year and a half (and<br />
who wouldn’t) clear your schedule and book a stay at the Folsom<br />
Sanctuary, a well-kept bungalow designed with tranquility in mind.<br />
The peaceful energy starts before even stepping foot in the house,<br />
as the exterior is lined with fruit trees and dozens of potted plants.<br />
Inside, you’ll find a roomy space decked out in muted, harmonious<br />
hues, complete with two private bedrooms and a full kitchen with<br />
dining nook. Nearly everything in the home feels simple, calming,<br />
and natural, from the live-edge wood dining table to the light blue<br />
curtains and cyprus tree stained-glass mural, which defuses the<br />
otherwise bright light streaming into the living room.<br />
The home, which the owner’s godparents bought in 1959, is<br />
