Recently, I bought a new car—my first in over 15 years. Before the ink was dry<br />
on the purchase agreement, I began questioning my decision. Should I have<br />
gone smaller? Should I have bought a used car? Why didn’t I pick a better color?<br />
When I called my older sister for some comforting words, she came through.<br />
“Karen, you always think there is a perfect decision out there,” she said. “And<br />
there isn’t.”<br />
Immediately, I knew she hit the nail on the head. Yes, the options were overwhelming,<br />
but I did lots of research and made a sound choice. Although there<br />
are still days when a convertible pulls up at a light next to me, and I think….<br />
So, when a friend of mine started remodeling her kitchen and asked me for<br />
help, I shared my sister’s advice: There is no one right answer. Look at pictures.<br />
Pick a style. And try to not get overwhelmed with choices. Find something<br />
that works with your budget and makes you—not your neighbor, not your<br />
sister—happy.<br />
And while I always love to offer my two cents, I know for certain you will get<br />
a better answer from a talented designer, contractor, or other professional who<br />
knows the ins and outs of the industry. Spend the time to find the right team.<br />
Communicate your needs and wishes and let them take a bit of the decisionmaking<br />
burden off your shoulders.<br />

PLACE<br />
Log cabin makeover taps into influence of previous owners<br />
BY KAREN BRADNER | PHOTOS BY GREG GRUPENHOF<br />
18 housetrends.com
Looks can be deceiving...<br />
After an initial approach via a<br />
nearly half-mile-long drive with<br />
equestrian arenas to the left and<br />
to the right, you arrive at what<br />
you might guess to be a centuryold,<br />
hand-hewn log cabin. The<br />
scene is bucolic. The home sits<br />
amidst acres of open land with a<br />
bountiful supply of mature trees,<br />
a rippling pond, and horse stables<br />
and their residents trotting in<br />
nearby fields.<br />
While the trees, horses and<br />
ponds are what they appear, the<br />
main cabin is a bit of an illusion.<br />
Seasoned architects have estimated<br />
the home to be over 100 years<br />
old, but in fact it was built in 1981.<br />
The original owner, Ken<br />
Klosterman, of the Cincinnatibased<br />
Klosterman Baking<br />
Company, and his wife Judith purchased<br />
this 228-acre property in<br />
Goshen Township to accommodate<br />
Judith’s passion for horses.<br />
The log cabin they built here—<br />
with a design and materials from<br />
a firm in northern Quebec—<br />
included a lower level perfect for<br />
Kenneth’s favorite hobby—performing<br />
magic. Dubbed “Salon<br />
de Magie,” this space became<br />
home to the homeowner’s extensive<br />
magic collection, a widely<br />
respected historic compilation<br />
of over 50,000 books, posters,<br />
tricks and memorabilia. ➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 19
Nearby neighbors<br />
Kevin Malof and his wife Jodi lived across<br />
the street from the Klostermans for 20<br />
years.<br />
Once the land was passed on to the<br />
Klostermans’ children, there was interest<br />
from a production builder to place 600<br />
homes on the property. That’s when Kevin<br />
approached the family about buying the<br />
property with a plan to maintain as much<br />
rural land as possible.<br />
He contacted an acquaintance he met<br />
through his son’s school, Dan deStefano<br />
with deStefano Homes and Remodeling.<br />
The two men produced a scenario which<br />
parceled out just under 40 acres for luxury<br />
home development which they dubbed<br />
The Reserves at Stone Pillars Farm, the<br />
site of this year’s Homearama. Next, they<br />
allotted 11 parcels ranging in size from 11<br />
to 30 acres each. The “smaller” of these<br />
are for single residences, the largest is<br />
home to the equestrian facility, White Tail<br />
Eventing. The land includes four miles of<br />
riding and walking trails.<br />
The Malofs would hold on to 60 acres<br />
keeping the setting of the log cabin home<br />
idyllic.<br />
A bit of hesitation<br />
Meanwhile, Jodi was not enthusiastic about<br />
living through a remodel of the log cabin.<br />
“I didn’t want to live in a house with a lot<br />
of small rooms,” she says. “Plus, for 30<br />
years—our whole marriage—we’ve been<br />
renovating.” Between businesses the couple<br />
owns in Loveland—including Curated<br />
Fine Furnishings and Design and Bishop’s<br />
Quarter—and previous homes, she says it’s<br />
been a constant stream of remodeling work.<br />
When Kevin said, “We are going to hire<br />
someone to do it right,” Jodi’s attitude<br />
shifted. That “someone” was the team at<br />
deStefano Homes and Remodeling, led<br />
by Dan and Rocky deStefano. The couple<br />
closed on the property in October of 2022<br />
and construction began the following<br />
February. ➻<br />

Thanks to a reworking of a dormer and roofline, the slanted<br />
wall was removed from the primary bath to make room for<br />
this spa-like replacement.<br />

First things first<br />
“At our first meeting, Kevin asked me<br />
if we could get the home to a point<br />
where Jodi liked it and it was functional,”<br />
Rocky says.<br />
One of the major roadblocks was<br />
the primary bathroom. The ceiling<br />
was angled so steeply that movement<br />
in the space was terribly limited.<br />
“There wasn’t even enough room to<br />
hang a mirror over the vanity,” Jodi<br />
says.<br />
It was important to Jodi, who suffers<br />
with back issues, to have space<br />
for a soaking tub. Not having that,<br />
she says, was a “dealbreaker.” To make<br />
the space work, the construction crew<br />
“completely blew out the dormer and<br />
roof” over the bath area, to now have<br />
the vertical space to include a wet<br />
room with a spacious shower and the<br />
requisite tub.<br />
“That’s now one of my favorite<br />
rooms,” Jodi says.<br />
Respectfully updated<br />
As it was with the primary bath, the<br />
major goal for the entire home, Rocky<br />
says, was to keep the integrity of the<br />
original structure, but bring it up to<br />
spec. “We were shooting for a happy<br />
medium between adding modern<br />
amenities and keeping with the style<br />
of the cabin.”<br />
The log cabin’s construction method<br />
presented challenges to the renovation<br />
team. “The exoskeleton of<br />
these homes is independent of the<br />
interior walls,” Rocky says. “Inside,<br />
a system of beams holds the whole<br />
place up.”<br />
Thankfully, a few obstructing interior<br />
walls were able to be removed.<br />
This made a significant difference to<br />
how the floor plan flowed and functioned.<br />
➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 23
Something old, something new<br />
To hold on to the charm, many of the log cabin’s original elements remained in<br />
place. Existing hardwood floors, true-divided light windows and interior and<br />
exterior doors were refinished.<br />
As for the mechanics, all the plumbing was updated, lighting fixtures were<br />
replaced, a new roof was added and the exterior was re-stained. Plus, the<br />
kitchen and baths were remodeled from the floor up.<br />
The original kitchen had one island, but a wall and an enclosed butler’s pantry<br />
were removed for a more open flow between the kitchen and dining and<br />
living areas. A second island was added which provides additional seating and<br />
when needed, acts as a serving area for the dining room.<br />
A pantry and wall were removed to make room for a second island.<br />
The front dual staircase was kept, but a<br />
new iron stair rail gives it some panache.<br />

held by the magic museum.<br />
Easy does it<br />
The lower level, which had housed much of Klosterman’s collection was converted to what Jodi and<br />
Kevin refer to as their “speakeasy.” Illusions begin as guests access the space, via an elevator, which<br />
(they are told) will make the 83-foot descent into the space previously held by an old mineshaft.<br />
In what had been Klosterman’s museum, there is now a well-equipped bar, poker room, billiards<br />
room and hidden doors and revolving bookcases mixed in for added fun. Across the room, the magician’s<br />
original stage and lighting were left in place and are a huge hit during the couple’s recently<br />
added karaoke nights.<br />
“The fact that it’s a stage with lights makes all the difference,” Kevin says. “People want to be on<br />
stage.” The couple has collected old keyboards and guitars so that performers can really rock out.<br />
“You get to see a whole new side of your friends,” Jodi says. ➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 25
More horsing around<br />
This newly improved home has revealed<br />
a whole new side of Jodi as well. Possibly,<br />
in channeling the spirit of the previous<br />
lady of the house, she has taken up, and<br />
taken to, horseback riding on Annie, her<br />
12-year-old Tennessee Walker.<br />
“I have never been around horses in my<br />
life,” she says. “At first I was nervous. But<br />
now I groom her, tack her and do everything<br />
myself.”<br />
Kevin, who has been around horses his<br />
whole life, saddles up Levi, his 5-yearold<br />
Rocky Mountain Horse. The couple’s<br />
sons, Max and Alex, who are in their 20s,<br />
don’t ride, but given the setting of their<br />
parents’ compound, that could change in<br />
the future.<br />

Happy trails<br />
Completing construction in November<br />
of 2023, the Malofs are thrilled with how<br />
their new home maintains the character<br />
that its original owners created, yet<br />
provides them with the modern conveniences<br />
they require. That was the mission<br />
with which the deStefano team was<br />
tasked.<br />
“We gave them our vision and they<br />
met every challenge, “Jodi says. “They<br />
were amazing. When we first considered<br />
buying this property, I was definitely<br />
hesitant, but now, I love it here!”<br />

RENEWED WITH<br />

Home steeped in history gets age-appropriate makeover<br />
BY KAREN BRADNER | PHOTOS BY DALE CLARK/ARC PICTURES<br />
Anyone who purchases a home built in the 1880s must have a good dose of<br />
respect for the story that has been unfolding within its walls for nearly 150<br />
years. Fortunately, the <strong>Columbus</strong> neighborhood of German Village happens<br />
to have a slew of homeowners who have the honor of carrying on this community’s<br />
rich traditions.<br />
One such homeowner, Meghan Carey, is a devotee of the area. These<br />
brick-paved streets have been her home for several years, as she moved<br />
from one address to another within the community. This is where she met<br />
her husband Michael (at Lindy’s) and where she is raising her two young sons.<br />
“I love the walkability, character, charm, and especially the people,” Carey<br />
says. “There’s a wonderful variety here, we’re not all in the same box.” ➻<br />

Interior re-design<br />
The uniformity of the village’s red-brick exteriors, wrought iron fencing and tree-lined streets<br />
are an undoubtable draw for Carey and others who live here or visit the area. But as an interior<br />
designer and owner of City Park Interiors, it’s inside one of these homes, where she had fun putting<br />
her own stamp.<br />
“I wanted the home to be happy, open and fresh, but honor the traditional,” she says.<br />
Previous owners had converted what had been a connected, side-by-side two-family home to a<br />
single residence. But a staircase running right through the center of the home, dissecting living<br />
spaces, remained. It was the suggestion of architect Andy Melaragno, to move the staircase. That<br />
was a game changer.<br />
“Moving that staircase was really huge,” says Carey. “Before the front two rooms were unusable.<br />
It was like walking through a tunnel to get through to the back of the home.”<br />
During the extensive remodel, the interior of the home was almost completely gutted. New<br />
windows and new flooring were installed. The load-bearing brick wall, which originally separated<br />
the two units, still stands but is now painted a soft gray.<br />
Replacing the original center staircase, with this grand version, added both beauty and<br />
function to the home. To the right is a painting by artist Paul-Henri Bourguignon.<br />

A burled wood island adds a traditional touch to the kitchen with its white perimeter cabinetry and marble countertops.<br />
While renovation efforts were underway, the couple rented a house right around<br />
the corner. “The house sat vacant for six to nine months while we were working on<br />
plans,” Carey says.<br />
Working with Andy Melaragno along with Todd Schmidt and the team at<br />
Renovations Unlimited, the decision was made to add eight feet to the upper floor<br />
to allow for the reconfiguration of three smaller bedrooms. Now this floor features<br />
four bedrooms with a primary suite moving from the back of the home to the front.<br />
On the main floor, a larger addition addressed many of the homeowners’ concerns.<br />
“We wanted a nice big kitchen,” Carey says. We wanted a mudroom and a big<br />
walk-in closet. Storage was key. We really wanted to maximize that.” ➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 33
Good timing<br />
Construction concluded in December<br />
of 2019, shortly before the effects<br />
of Covid-19 would change how<br />
the remodeling industry—and the<br />
world—would function. Fortunately,<br />
Meghan, Michael, and their infant<br />
son, had a haven of just under 3000<br />
square feet where they could isolate<br />
and grow accustomed to their new<br />
family dynamics.<br />
While supply chain issues would<br />
delay getting many of the interior furnishings<br />
in place, the home now had a<br />
footprint that functioned beautifully<br />
for the young family.<br />
“We wanted it to feel warm and<br />
cozy when you walk in the front<br />
door,” Carey says. “The entry serves<br />
as an open walkway to the rest of the<br />
house.”<br />
A wall that previously held what<br />
Carey says were “useless built-ins”<br />
has been replaced with gray-painted<br />
woodworking that serves multiple<br />
functions including display shelving<br />
and drawers for much needed storage.<br />
“There are mittens and hockey<br />
gear in those drawers,” she says.<br />
In between is an upholstered banquette<br />
that serves as a handy spot<br />
for removing shoes, or on occasion<br />
listening to Michael as he tickles the<br />
ivories. Renovation plans reserved<br />
this specific spot for the baby grand<br />
piano Meghan gave him for a recent<br />
birthday.<br />
On the other side of the original<br />
brick wall is a formal living room.<br />
While many of her clients might want<br />
to see patterns and colors match a<br />
bit more than she does, Carey has no<br />
issue mixing geometric, floral, solid<br />
and textured fabrics. The overall take<br />

of this room shows the designer’s<br />
penchant for “wanting the space to<br />
feel collected.” This is a space where<br />
she gravitates to on those rare occasions<br />
of alone time.<br />
Between the living room and the<br />
kitchen, stands a dining room. “I<br />
wanted an actual formal dining<br />
room,” Carey says. “Not a lot of people<br />
are doing dining rooms anymore,<br />
which I understand, but find a bit<br />
sad.” To make gatherings more inviting<br />
and encourage guests to linger,<br />
the designer selected a 72-inch round<br />
table and comfortable seating for six.<br />
On the opposite side of the wall,<br />
still in the footprint of the original<br />
existing space, is the striking new<br />
staircase, which makes the traffic<br />
pattern make so much more sense.<br />
And just down the hall is a half bath<br />
decked out in gold and blue geometric<br />
Schumacher wallpaper.<br />
“A powder room is always a good<br />
place to have fun with design choices,”<br />
says Carey.<br />
The back of the home, which<br />
includes a breakfast nook, kitchen,<br />
great room and living area, is a lightfilled<br />
space. In a similar fashion as in<br />
other rooms of the home, a dramatic<br />
light fixture hangs from the center of<br />
this room’s ceiling.<br />
“Ten-foot ceilings allow for larger<br />
fixtures,” Carey says. “I prefer to use<br />
statement lighting over can lighting<br />
anytime I can.” Also, as it is in other<br />
rooms of this home, formal drapery<br />
panels flank the large windows and<br />
French doors.<br />
“I love drapes, I think they soften<br />
the room,” Carey says. “And I like<br />
using pattern.” ➻<br />

1 This great room, with its cathedral ceiling and French doors, was an addition to the original home. 2 The primary bedroom and<br />
bath were relocated to the front of the home during the renovation. 3 The powder room’s vanity was originally a dresser the<br />
homeowner repurposed. 4 The painting over the great room sofa is by artist Michael McEwan.<br />

An existing garage was removed and replaced with this flagstone patio and grass courtyard<br />
and a new garage closer to the rear alley.<br />
Courtyard with previous garage<br />
Pops of color<br />
While most of the furniture, cabinetry, woodwork, and window treatments<br />
stick to a neutral palette of soft beiges, warm grays and caramels, carefully<br />
selected pieces of art add inviting bold splashes in each room.<br />
“Art is my way of bringing color into the house,” Carey says.<br />
Even in the back courtyard, the furnishings adorn elegant white slipcovers.<br />
But here the art comes in the form of ivy-covered fencing, rows of arbor vitae,<br />
and overflowing containers of annuals and succulents.<br />
This inviting space is a favorite warm weather hangout for the young men<br />
of the house. It was enlarged once an existing garage was torn down and a new<br />
one was built closer to the rear alley.<br />
And when the mood strikes for the family to step out, it’s an easy walk to dinner<br />
at one of the community’s many fine restaurants, or a stroll through nearby<br />
Schiller Park—creating family traditions in this community that happens to be<br />
steeped in tradition.<br />

WESTERN<br />
inspiration<br />
Custom-built home artfully blends rustic elements<br />
BY SYDNE SANTO | PHOTOS BY AARON FARRIER<br />
They say inspiration can come from anywhere, and for this family of five living<br />
in Greater Dayton, the inspiration for their dream home came from the<br />
mountains of Colorado. After spending multiple vacations skiing the slopes of<br />
this state, the family fell in love with the mountain-style homes they saw there.<br />
Wanting to bring a piece of that rustic elegance back to Ohio, the homeowner<br />
began her own visionary journey, meticulously collecting photos<br />
and references as her North Star. To pull all these elements together, she<br />
partnered with Dan DeVol of Daniel DeVol Custom Builder and his team<br />
of expert craftsmen.<br />
“When it came time for my team to join, the homeowners already had<br />
a clear idea about what they were looking for,” DeVol explains. “We<br />
specialize in helping our clients select the right materials that bring their<br />
vision to life.” ➻<br />

1 A mix of woods, coppers and whites makes for a warm, inviting<br />
kitchen. 2 A climate-controlled wine cellar is conveniently located<br />
behind the bar area. 3 Wooden buttresses epitomize the western<br />
architecture goal the homeowner was after. 4 An abundance of windows<br />
helps flood the home with natural light.<br />
Carefully crafted<br />
The home’s exterior is framed by real<br />
stone, which is then carried inside<br />
throughout the kitchen and great room.<br />
DeVol sourced the stone from out of state<br />
to get the precise color needed for the<br />
project. Hand-scraped maple hardwood<br />
floors, and custom millwork throughout<br />
the home further embrace the natural<br />
design.<br />
The kitchen features an array of materials<br />
and textures, combining contrasting<br />
wood, stone, and metal into a harmonious<br />
fusion. The farmhouse sink, which<br />
looks as though it was dropped in directly<br />
from one of the homeowner’s inspiration<br />
pictures, is custom-made of copper.<br />
This metal acts as an accent theme in the<br />
kitchen, culminating in the hand-made<br />
hammered copper range hood.<br />
An entertainer’s haven<br />
At first glance, the bright kitchen, spacious<br />
great room, and sunny outdoor<br />
space might feel like the go-to place<br />
for entertaining, but the family’s secret<br />
showstopper is their wine cellar and basement<br />
bar.<br />
Thanks to the couple’s many trips<br />
to California, their wine collection has<br />
grown extensively over the years, resulting<br />
in a need for storage. “The interior<br />
of the wine cellar is lined with reclaimed<br />
barn wood for a rustic touch,” DeVol says.<br />
“We coupled that with a modern display<br />
structure that showcases each wine label<br />
so they can really absorb their collection.”<br />
A large glass window looks out over the<br />
rest of the bar which is made from white<br />
oak. The bar is finished with a custom<br />
countertop, and features ample storage<br />
for everything from spirits to specialty<br />
glasses. ➻<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 45
Fit for function<br />
A functional layout was key for this family, ensuring each room had a purpose<br />
and they had plenty of places to relax.<br />
The kitchen touts a hidden walk-in pantry with an oversized lazy Susan,<br />
while built-in storage keeps countertops free from mess and clutter. And, to<br />
stop any potential clutter before it enters the home, a mudroom lines the<br />
garage entryway with designated locker-style cubbies for each of their children.<br />
A combined laundry-office-craft room serves as a catch-all for the family’s<br />
day-to-day activities, while the upstairs level serves as a playground for their<br />
three children. The space was intentionally made versatile enough to grow as<br />
they did, supporting their changing hobbies and interests. The dance studio, a<br />
once-popular place for their children to practice their dance and cheer routines,<br />
has since been transformed into the preferred dressing room for school dances,<br />
while the craft room now often serves as a mess-free nail salon. ➻<br />
Comfy seating and a fireplace give the upper level outdoor space year-round appeal.<br />

3 Flanked by stone columns, the copper on the range<br />
hood ties in to other copper elements in the kitchen. 4<br />

The back yard features a generously-sized pool, waterfall, hot tub, pizza oven and fire pit.<br />
housetrends magazine <strong>2024</strong> 49
The stone portico to the right leads to a four-car garage.<br />
Soak up the sun<br />
Another favorite is their expansive back yard, complete with a two-story outdoor living space, a<br />
pool and hot tub, and backyard bar. The pool, with its stone wall and waterfall, is a popular spot<br />
for their kids and their friends. The stone wall is often used as a jumping point, while the hot tub<br />
makes the outdoor space enjoyable year-round.<br />
“If we’re not in the kitchen, we spend a lot of our time outside. No matter where we start in the<br />
house, we always seem to end up out there,” the homeowner laughs. “One of the reasons we bought<br />
our land was for the sunsets, so whether we’re lighting a bonfire or having a glass of wine, we’re<br />
probably ending our days outside.”<br />
The landscaping was carefully chosen by Doug Rhinehart and his team at Grandma’s Gardens<br />
to balance the need for easy maintenance with regional suitability. Again, referencing their rustic<br />
vision, aspens and similar plants surround their home, bringing a bit of Colorado into Ohio.<br />
An extended family<br />
“I worked with Dan and his team almost every day for two years, so it got to the point where they<br />
all felt like family,” says the homeowner.<br />
One key member of the “family” was Bruce Landes, who worked on the DeVol team as their cabinetmaker<br />
for close to 20 years. “Bruce was brilliant; I’d bring the wildest ideas to him, and he was<br />
able to run with them and bring back something better than I had ever imagined,” the homeowner<br />
reminisces. Bruce passed away in May of 2022, but his knowledge and keen eye are still celebrated<br />
in the family’s dream home.<br />
Today, the family makes great use of every room in the house, enjoying both solo time in their<br />
individual spaces and time together outside or in the great room.<br />
“Designing and building our dream home is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had,” the homeowner<br />
proudly shares. “I wanted to create something timeless for our family, and now we get to live<br />
in something we love for years to come.”<br />

replaced with wood steps to create a safe environment<br />
for the young children and provide peace of mind for the<br />
parents for years to come.<br />

The warming drawer is also paneled and seamlessly<br />
disguised as a drawer. The Powder Room is “dark and<br />

We added a 900-square-foot room addition to this<br />
split level. The new great room, guest room, bath, and<br />
kitchen expansion has vastly increased the entertaining<br />
value of this cozy eclectic 50’s home. Designed for<br />
comfort, this new work has an old soul with reclaimed<br />
doors, exposed brick, and charm. The east-facing<br />
wall of windows has brought new layers of light to the<br />
owners morning routine!<br />

Kitchen Renovation<br />
This “entertainer’s” kitchen was enlarged by<br />
borrowing space from the dining room and then<br />
brightened with a new window. Cambria countertops<br />
accentuate the white oak island. Painted custom inset<br />
cabinets with varying hardware and lighting options<br />
reflect the owner’s style.<br />

First Floor Renovation<br />
Making the confined first floor open and more usable<br />
was the goal for this Worthington Hills home. The<br />
kitchen/dining area was opened up by removing<br />
multiple walls, tripling cabinet and counter space in<br />
the process. A reconfigured first-floor laundry, an<br />
integrated work space, and wet bar enhance the final<br />
product.<br />
