Style Magazine - Readers Choice Awards - Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin 2022
In this month’s issue, our biggest of the year, we’re celebrating the season—along with all our region’s small businesses (and business owners)—in a big way. If you’re like me and read magazines back to front, then start with “Last Look” on page 82 for an autumn-esque picture snapped locally and our favorite leaf-peeping locales, including East Sacramento—an urban forest that’s currently awash in a canopy of yellow, orange, and crimson-colored trees. Leaving the leaves behind, turn to page 68 for some easy, autumn-inspired recipes utilizing the cream of the harvest crop, including a butternut squash risotto you’ll be eager to reheat…and have on repeat. In honor of the most hallowed holiday—the one where consuming colossal amounts of candy and donning creepy costumes is A-OK—we asked area distilleries for their “boo”ziest, most spirited cocktails. Pick your poison (I think I’ll start with the Midori-spiked, freaky-looking “Frankenstein”) on page 72. We also share some fun, festive Halloween happenings in The 10 Spot (page 16) that are sure to (pumpkin) spice up the season. Around here, it wouldn’t be October without our annual “Best of” feature, where we announce the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s a personal favorite because I always discover new (literally) winning places around town to support—like Pasty Pies of the World and Exhilaration Station—and am reminded of all the talented, innovative entrepreneurs our region is teeming with. Find out if your favorite people and places made the list starting on page 51. There’s much more in store, too, including an inspiring, informative piece about local women beating breast cancer (page 20); a spotlight on some of the area’s best bands (page 26); and tips on making sure your WFH office is an authentic place of productivity, whether you prefer to work indoors or (like me!) out (page 54). I hope you’ll agree that these glossy print pages are as plentiful and uplifting as the autumn season itself. Enjoy! ——Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

HOME OFFICE DESIGN TIPS<br />
• Think through your daily habits and design an office that will set you up for<br />
success.<br />
• Purchase the correct type of desk for your work style: traditional, standing, or<br />
hybrid. Zuri has some fantastic contemporary options.<br />
• Consider angling your desk to look out of the room, instead of at a wall.<br />
• Be sure to pick the right chair that marries comfort and ergonomics with style.<br />
• Try integrating a printer into your desk design so it doesn’t stick out like a sore<br />
thumb.<br />
• Incorporate any necessary power outlets into your design. Hint: Desks located<br />
in the center of the room will need outlets in the floor. We suggest purchasing a<br />
lower cost rug in case you need to cut a hole for access to the outlet.<br />
• Ensure each piece of furniture has a distinct purpose.<br />
• Consider storage solutions and stay organized with bookcases, file cabinets, and<br />
more.<br />
• Incorporate an interesting background for Zoom calls.<br />
• Customize your office and make it feel special with curated artwork. Bonus points<br />
if it’s local!<br />

“<br />
Even when space is<br />
limited, choosing a desk<br />
that’s a beautiful piece<br />
in its own right makes<br />
for an inspiring space to<br />
spend your days.<br />
”<br />
When designing a home office, Jacobsen<br />
always starts with the piece of furniture that<br />
will likely dominate the room: the desk. “Even<br />
when space is limited, choosing a desk that’s<br />
a beautiful piece in its own right makes for a<br />
[motivating place] to spend your days,” she says.<br />
“Positioning the desk to face a view or a piece<br />
of artwork is a simple way to incorporate visual<br />
texture and stimulation.”<br />
Jacobsen also suggests selecting a spot<br />
with natural light to improve focus and<br />
saving space for a comfortable accent chair<br />
or bench so others can visit throughout the<br />
workday. “If your work area is incorporated<br />
into part of another room, being able to<br />
clear everything away at the end of the<br />
day can be essential, which often calls for<br />
hidden desk ideas,” she says.<br />
And while an office may be a place for<br />
work, this doesn’t mean that it should lack<br />
personality. “Adding a point of interest that<br />
highlights a favorite hobby often gives the<br />
space a more personal touch and makes for a<br />
more enjoyable place to work,” she says.<br />
