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

THE DOS AND DON’TS OF DIGITAL HOUSE HUNTING
Welcome to the era where your dream home is just a click away! Gone are the days of physically touring dozens of homes and signing paperwork
in-person. The digital revolution has ushered in a new age of house hunting, making it more accessible, efficient, and aligned with our increasingly
online lives. As “digital house hunting” becomes more popular, understanding these dos and don’ts can make all the difference in the success of
your home-buying experience.
DO:
1. Leverage Virtual Reality and 3D Tours. Virtual
reality has emerged as a game-changer in house
hunting, offering immersive experiences that go
beyond traditional virtual tours. By donning a VR
headset, prospective buyers can virtually step inside
homes from anywhere in the world, experiencing
the space in a way that photos and videos simply
cannot match. Similarly, 3D tours have taken property
presentations to new heights, providing detailed
renderings that allow buyers to visualize the layout,
design, and potential of a space.
2. Utilize Reliable Websites. It can be tempting
to rely solely on popular home search sites, but not
all sources of data are created equal! Many national
websites use a “one size fits all” approach and may
contain inaccurate information regarding local school
districts, taxes, neighborhood features, and valuation
estimates. They also don’t always have the most current
status information and don’t give you visibility to
“coming soon” properties. Connecting with a local real
estate agent who can get you set up on a search portal
within your local MLS will ensure that you have access
to the highest-quality information, helping you to
make informed decisions.
3. Engage a Real Estate Agent to Conduct Video
Showings. While there’s no true replacement for
an in-person showing, a video showing via FaceTime
or Zoom can be the next best thing. Unlike prerecorded
tours, live tours offer you a real-time look at
the property. This means you can spot any potential
issues, such as cracks, leaks, or even assess the noise
level from traffic. It’s your chance to ask questions of
your agent on the spot and get a genuine feel for the
property and the neighborhood.
DON’T:
1. Skimp on Researching Accessibility. Never
underestimate the importance of location. A property’s
proximity to your workplace, public transportation,
hospitals, schools, and shopping areas is crucial. It can
significantly impact your daily life and convenience,
not to mention the resale potential of a home.
When browsing properties online, avoid looking at
a property in a vacuum without concern for where
the home is located. Make sure to check maps and
local community resources to understand the area’s
accessibility.
2. Give Too Much Consideration to Online
Mortgage Calculators. Many digital platforms offer
mortgage calculators that can help you estimate your
monthly payments based on the purchase price,
down payment, interest rate, and other factors. Some
sites also offer pre-approval services and financial
advice, helping you understand your budget and
financing options before starting your home search.
While these tools can be helpful in providing rough
estimates, they might miss some critical pieces of
information like taxes, HOA fees, and utility costs. Any
information you plug into these systems may also be
sold and result in you receiving a lot of unwanted calls
and emails from financial institutions trying to earn
your business. Having a reputable mortgage lender
run payment scenarios for you before considering
a property is your best bet to avoid surprises after
closing and protect your privacy.
3. Rely Solely on Photos. While stunning photos
can draw you to a listing, they don’t always tell the
full story. Photos can be edited or strategically taken
to highlight the best features while hiding flaws.
They also don’t allow you to hear (or smell!) potential
drawbacks to the property. Make sure to complement
your visual inspection with live virtual tours or, if
possible, in-person visits to get a comprehensive
understanding of the property.

a magical
PLACE
Log cabin makeover taps into influence of previous owners
BY KAREN BRADNER | PHOTOS BY GREG GRUPENHOF
18 housetrends.com

Looks can be deceiving...
After an initial approach via a
nearly half-mile-long drive with
equestrian arenas to the left and
to the right, you arrive at what
you might guess to be a centuryold,
hand-hewn log cabin. The
scene is bucolic. The home sits
amidst acres of open land with a
bountiful supply of mature trees,
a rippling pond, and horse stables
and their residents trotting in
nearby fields.
While the trees, horses and
ponds are what they appear, the
main cabin is a bit of an illusion.
Seasoned architects have estimated
the home to be over 100 years
old, but in fact it was built in 1981.
The original owner, Ken
Klosterman, of the Cincinnatibased
Klosterman Baking
Company, and his wife Judith purchased
this 228-acre property in
Goshen Township to accommodate
Judith’s passion for horses.
The log cabin they built here—
with a design and materials from
a firm in northern Quebec—
included a lower level perfect for
Kenneth’s favorite hobby—performing
magic. Dubbed “Salon
de Magie,” this space became
home to the homeowner’s extensive
magic collection, a widely
respected historic compilation
of over 50,000 books, posters,
tricks and memorabilia. ➻
housetrends magazine 2024 19

Nearby neighbors
Kevin Malof and his wife Jodi lived across
the street from the Klostermans for 20
years.
Once the land was passed on to the
Klostermans’ children, there was interest
from a production builder to place 600
homes on the property. That’s when Kevin
approached the family about buying the
property with a plan to maintain as much
rural land as possible.
He contacted an acquaintance he met
through his son’s school, Dan deStefano
with deStefano Homes and Remodeling.
The two men produced a scenario which
parceled out just under 40 acres for luxury
home development which they dubbed
The Reserves at Stone Pillars Farm, the
site of this year’s Homearama. Next, they
allotted 11 parcels ranging in size from 11
to 30 acres each. The “smaller” of these
are for single residences, the largest is
home to the equestrian facility, White Tail
Eventing. The land includes four miles of
riding and walking trails.
The Malofs would hold on to 60 acres
keeping the setting of the log cabin home
idyllic.
A bit of hesitation
Meanwhile, Jodi was not enthusiastic about
living through a remodel of the log cabin.
“I didn’t want to live in a house with a lot
of small rooms,” she says. “Plus, for 30
years—our whole marriage—we’ve been
renovating.” Between businesses the couple
owns in Loveland—including Curated
Fine Furnishings and Design and Bishop’s
Quarter—and previous homes, she says it’s
been a constant stream of remodeling work.
When Kevin said, “We are going to hire
someone to do it right,” Jodi’s attitude
shifted. That “someone” was the team at
deStefano Homes and Remodeling, led
by Dan and Rocky deStefano. The couple
closed on the property in October of 2022
and construction began the following
February. ➻

but a new floating mantel was added.

First things first
“At our first meeting, Kevin asked me
if we could get the home to a point
where Jodi liked it and it was functional,”
Rocky says.
One of the major roadblocks was
the primary bathroom. The ceiling
was angled so steeply that movement
in the space was terribly limited.
“There wasn’t even enough room to
hang a mirror over the vanity,” Jodi
says.
It was important to Jodi, who suffers
with back issues, to have space
for a soaking tub. Not having that,
she says, was a “dealbreaker.” To make
the space work, the construction crew
“completely blew out the dormer and
roof” over the bath area, to now have
the vertical space to include a wet
room with a spacious shower and the
requisite tub.
“That’s now one of my favorite
rooms,” Jodi says.
Respectfully updated
As it was with the primary bath, the
major goal for the entire home, Rocky
says, was to keep the integrity of the
original structure, but bring it up to
spec. “We were shooting for a happy
medium between adding modern
amenities and keeping with the style
of the cabin.”
The log cabin’s construction method
presented challenges to the renovation
team. “The exoskeleton of
these homes is independent of the
interior walls,” Rocky says. “Inside,
a system of beams holds the whole
place up.”
Thankfully, a few obstructing interior
walls were able to be removed.
This made a significant difference to
how the floor plan flowed and functioned.
➻
housetrends magazine 2024 23

Something old, something new
To hold on to the charm, many of the log cabin’s original elements remained in
place. Existing hardwood floors, true-divided light windows and interior and
exterior doors were refinished.
As for the mechanics, all the plumbing was updated, lighting fixtures were
replaced, a new roof was added and the exterior was re-stained. Plus, the
kitchen and baths were remodeled from the floor up.
The original kitchen had one island, but a wall and an enclosed butler’s pantry
were removed for a more open flow between the kitchen and dining and
living areas. A second island was added which provides additional seating and
when needed, acts as a serving area for the dining room.

previous owner. 2 A hidden doorway

3 This bar occupies a space formerly
held by the magic museum.
Easy does it
The lower level, which had housed much of Klosterman’s collection was converted to what Jodi and
Kevin refer to as their “speakeasy.” Illusions begin as guests access the space, via an elevator, which
(they are told) will make the 83-foot descent into the space previously held by an old mineshaft.
In what had been Klosterman’s museum, there is now a well-equipped bar, poker room, billiards
room and hidden doors and revolving bookcases mixed in for added fun. Across the room, the magician’s
original stage and lighting were left in place and are a huge hit during the couple’s recently
added karaoke nights.
“The fact that it’s a stage with lights makes all the difference,” Kevin says. “People want to be on
stage.” The couple has collected old keyboards and guitars so that performers can really rock out.
“You get to see a whole new side of your friends,” Jodi says. ➻
housetrends magazine 2024 25

More horsing around
This newly improved home has revealed
a whole new side of Jodi as well. Possibly,
in channeling the spirit of the previous
lady of the house, she has taken up, and
taken to, horseback riding on Annie, her
12-year-old Tennessee Walker.
“I have never been around horses in my
life,” she says. “At first I was nervous. But
now I groom her, tack her and do everything
myself.”
Kevin, who has been around horses his
whole life, saddles up Levi, his 5-yearold
Rocky Mountain Horse. The couple’s
sons, Max and Alex, who are in their 20s,
don’t ride, but given the setting of their
parents’ compound, that could change in
the future.

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

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

fencing and paver brick sidewalk are
quintessentially German Village.
housetrends magazine 2024 31

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

Staircase location before

A burled wood island adds a traditional touch to the kitchen with its white perimeter cabinetry and marble countertops.
While renovation efforts were underway, the couple rented a house right around
the corner. “The house sat vacant for six to nine months while we were working on
plans,” Carey says.
Working with Andy Melaragno along with Todd Schmidt and the team at
Renovations Unlimited, the decision was made to add eight feet to the upper floor
to allow for the reconfiguration of three smaller bedrooms. Now this floor features
four bedrooms with a primary suite moving from the back of the home to the front.
On the main floor, a larger addition addressed many of the homeowners’ concerns.
“We wanted a nice big kitchen,” Carey says. We wanted a mudroom and a big
walk-in closet. Storage was key. We really wanted to maximize that.” ➻
housetrends magazine 2024 33

Good timing
Construction concluded in December
of 2019, shortly before the effects
of Covid-19 would change how
the remodeling industry—and the
world—would function. Fortunately,
Meghan, Michael, and their infant
son, had a haven of just under 3000
square feet where they could isolate
and grow accustomed to their new
family dynamics.
While supply chain issues would
delay getting many of the interior furnishings
in place, the home now had a
footprint that functioned beautifully
for the young family.
“We wanted it to feel warm and
cozy when you walk in the front
door,” Carey says. “The entry serves
as an open walkway to the rest of the
house.”
A wall that previously held what
Carey says were “useless built-ins”
has been replaced with gray-painted
woodworking that serves multiple
functions including display shelving
and drawers for much needed storage.
“There are mittens and hockey
gear in those drawers,” she says.
In between is an upholstered banquette
that serves as a handy spot
for removing shoes, or on occasion
listening to Michael as he tickles the
ivories. Renovation plans reserved
this specific spot for the baby grand
piano Meghan gave him for a recent
birthday.
On the other side of the original
brick wall is a formal living room.
While many of her clients might want
to see patterns and colors match a
bit more than she does, Carey has no
issue mixing geometric, floral, solid
and textured fabrics. The overall take

was used when the home was divided

wanted a traditional, formal dining
room. The painting over the sideboard
is by artist Marti Steffy.

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

selected pieces of art add inviting bold splashes in each room.
“Art is my way of bringing color into the house,” Carey says.
Even in the back courtyard, the furnishings adorn elegant white slipcovers.
But here the art comes in the form of ivy-covered fencing, rows of arbor vitae,
and overflowing containers of annuals and succulents.
This inviting space is a favorite warm weather hangout for the young men
of the house. It was enlarged once an existing garage was torn down and a new
one was built closer to the rear alley.
And when the mood strikes for the family to step out, it’s an easy walk to dinner
at one of the community’s many fine restaurants, or a stroll through nearby
Schiller Park—creating family traditions in this community that happens to be
steeped in tradition.

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

1 A mix of woods, coppers and whites makes for a warm, inviting
kitchen. 2 A climate-controlled wine cellar is conveniently located
behind the bar area. 3 Wooden buttresses epitomize the western
architecture goal the homeowner was after. 4 An abundance of windows
helps flood the home with natural light.
Carefully crafted
The home’s exterior is framed by real
stone, which is then carried inside
throughout the kitchen and great room.
DeVol sourced the stone from out of state
to get the precise color needed for the
project. Hand-scraped maple hardwood
floors, and custom millwork throughout
the home further embrace the natural
design.
The kitchen features an array of materials
and textures, combining contrasting
wood, stone, and metal into a harmonious
fusion. The farmhouse sink, which
looks as though it was dropped in directly
from one of the homeowner’s inspiration
pictures, is custom-made of copper.
This metal acts as an accent theme in the
kitchen, culminating in the hand-made
hammered copper range hood.
An entertainer’s haven
At first glance, the bright kitchen, spacious
great room, and sunny outdoor
space might feel like the go-to place
for entertaining, but the family’s secret
showstopper is their wine cellar and basement
bar.
Thanks to the couple’s many trips
to California, their wine collection has
grown extensively over the years, resulting
in a need for storage. “The interior
of the wine cellar is lined with reclaimed
barn wood for a rustic touch,” DeVol says.
“We coupled that with a modern display
structure that showcases each wine label
so they can really absorb their collection.”
A large glass window looks out over the
rest of the bar which is made from white
oak. The bar is finished with a custom
countertop, and features ample storage
for everything from spirits to specialty
glasses. ➻
housetrends magazine 2024 45

Fit for function
A functional layout was key for this family, ensuring each room had a purpose
and they had plenty of places to relax.
The kitchen touts a hidden walk-in pantry with an oversized lazy Susan,
while built-in storage keeps countertops free from mess and clutter. And, to
stop any potential clutter before it enters the home, a mudroom lines the
garage entryway with designated locker-style cubbies for each of their children.
A combined laundry-office-craft room serves as a catch-all for the family’s
day-to-day activities, while the upstairs level serves as a playground for their
three children. The space was intentionally made versatile enough to grow as
they did, supporting their changing hobbies and interests. The dance studio, a
once-popular place for their children to practice their dance and cheer routines,
has since been transformed into the preferred dressing room for school dances,
while the craft room now often serves as a mess-free nail salon. ➻
Comfy seating and a fireplace give the upper level outdoor space year-round appeal.

the home. 2 A chunky floating mantel and stone
surround provide a grand setting for the elegant piano.

hood ties in to other copper elements in the kitchen. 4
An oversized laundry room does triple duty—it’s also an
office and craft room.

The back yard features a generously-sized pool, waterfall, hot tub, pizza oven and fire pit.
housetrends magazine 2024 49

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