FROM THE EDITOR

HOME & HEARTH

Anyone who’s moved out of a larger house after a decade-plus of raising children and accommodating extended family can attest to the enormity of the task. We had that privilege this past summer. I say “privilege” because it can really teach you something. We thought we were organized, but behind every door and cabinet lurked a monster pile of stuff that we didn’t even know we had, let alone need. It’s amazing how much we amass in the process of living life, and how little of it actually serves us. Donating carload after carload to charity and giving outgrown items to friends with kids, and feeling freer for it, was a lesson in keeping your eye on the things that matter: not stuff, but experiences and passions. Home is the place where we can do all that enriches us—feeds our soul, if you want—in the company of the people who mean the most to us.

Our cover subject this month, Kimberly Stewart, had a similar epiphany while locking down for COVID-19 in the Palm Beach home of her father, Sir Rod Stewart. Spending time with those nearest to her, away from the trappings of her life in L.A., made Kimberly real ize how little we really need to be happy. The simplicity of those days cleared her mind to think creatively about the next step in her life, and she launched The Realm, a home organization company that showcases her sensibilities and personal style. No wonder cli ents from Palm Beach to L.A. are flocking to her. Meet Kimberly in our cover story, “Rock Royalty,” on page 68.

A PALM BEACH GEM I’m in awe of Laetitia and Ben Han’s mindful renova tion of Marion Sims Wy eth’s personal residence— and happy that they’ll open their home during next month’s Ultimate Din ner Party. Page 74.

For many of us, gardening is a meditative pursuit, even if our endeavors don’t always bear fruit. For me, success in the garden is the exception rather than the rule (I love it any way), so I find myself looking up to horticulturists like Kit Pannill. If the Midas touch turns everything to gold, Kit’s touch turns everything green. Get to know Palm Beach’s “Garden Queen” and experience her garden on page 80.

I hope you will enjoy this month’s home- and garden-themed content, especially if you’re in decorating or renovating mode and in need of some fresh inspiration. Here’s to the comforts—and simple pleasures—of home!

THE INSIDE TRACK TO EVERYTHING PALM BEACH

SPOTLIGHT

Hope SPRINGS ETERNAL

To speak a heartfelt sentiment tangibly, say it with flowers. Their life span is short, but North Palm Beach resident Stephanie Summers found a way to imbue the transitory nature of flowers with a beautiful permanence.

“I began painting birth flowers when my husband and I lost our first pregnancy and I wanted a tangible piece of art to honor the significance of that sweet life,” Summers says. “I never promoted these birth flower paintings as a sign of remembrance, but I have been part of many families’ stories as they share why they want specific flowers hanging in their homes.”

Her birth flower paintings can represent anything from loss to an niversaries, and she creates “birth flower bouquets” to bring together various moments into a meaningful art piece. The birth month flowers— for example, lily of the valley for May, marigolds for October, and holly for December—are painted together as a bouquet to commemorate special people or occasions.

“Birth flowers represent signifi cant moments in time, whether that be a loved one’s birthday, a brave season in your life, or a memory,” adds Summers. “It has become a passion of mine to create significant and emotional pieces of art. I enjoy watching different moments in time become a beautiful floral collection.” (oursummers.com) –Skye Sherman

Life in Color

Few people defined Palm Beach interiors quite like the late Carleton Varney. The legendary local colorman served as presi dent of Dorothy Draper & Company and designed A-list homes and several of our area’s most famous hotels including The Colony, The Breakers, and The Brazilian Court. Varney passed away in July, just a month after the release of the deluxe edition of his 1988 book The Draper Touch: The High Life and High Style of Dorothy Draper. Below, we list five of our fave design signatures for which Mr. Color will be cheerfully remembered. (carletonvarney.com) –S.S.

1. Vibrant colors and bold combi nations and contrasts

2. Mixing prints, vertical stripes, and patterns (especially supersat urated, over-scaled flower patterns on fabrics and custom carpets with distinct high-impact patterns)

3. Blending styles and periods

4. Aqua paint on ceilings of outdoor spaces such as porches and verandas

5. An aversion to beige and all things drab and colorless

STAY A WHILE

It’s no secret that everyone who’s anyone wants to be in the Palm Beaches. But hotel inventory can be limited, especially as it pertains to extended visits. Electra America Hospitality Group (EAHG) is helping to change that. Earlier this year, EAHG purchased a new property in West Palm Beach (originally intended as micro-apartments) for $84 million and transformed it into an upscale, 217-key hotel residence catering to both short- and long-stay guests. Aside from its central location on South Olive Avenue, AKA West Palm offers 6,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, an indoor/outdoor lounge and bar, a resort-like pool deck, a pet spa, and more. AKA West Palm marks the second Florida property for the AKA brand (the first is in Miami’s Brickell neighborhood), and it is accepting reservations for stays beginning November 1.

Dress up your table with the new collection from Figue, featuring the brand’s familiar maximalist prints and signature details (think: contrast borders, top stitching, and tassels) now available as cotton linen tablecloths, placemats, and dinner napkins. Designer and Palm Beach local Liz Lange is CEO and creative director of the luxe yet laid-back brand that embodies the jet-setting spirit of the 1960s and ’70s.

“Entertaining should mirror your personality, and the Figue woman is bold, sophisticated, and always fashionable,” Lange says. “Figue Tabletop felt like a natural next step for our customer whose style isn’t only reflected in what she wears but also translates to every detail in her life, including how she entertains.” (figue.com) —S.S.

Nyasha and Ike Chimbandi are putting their real estate know-how to work helping unhoused people in Palm Beach County—and it all started with an empty rental unit and a chance encounter with a man in need whom they housed for free.

“We were like: ‘You know what? Go ahead and use our place,’” Ike recalls. “In the meantime, we contacted [Palm Beach County] and got him services. He stayed there for three weeks.”

“That’s when we realized there was a need in the county for affordable housing,” Nyasha adds.

The couple founded their nonprofit, We Second Chance, five years ago to purchase, manage, and provide safe and affordable housing to people in need. Now, through a partnership with The Lord’s Place, they’ve helped dozens of local families find housing.

Deirdre is one of the Chimbandis’ residents who turned to The Lord’s Place when serious medical issues set her back. “I couldn’t have done it without The Lord’s Place and without people like the Chimbandis who have the properties to give to people like me,” Deirdre says. Now, she says, she finally feels at home again. “I get the opportunity to take my life back with dignity.”

The Chimbandis currently have more than 30 people living in their homes, all referred to them by The Lord’s Place. They say every resident is like a part of the family. “Our whole family is involved, so it’s extremely fulfilling ... for my husband, me, and our children,” Nyasha says.

Ike says their effort to help others has been an eyeopening experience in more ways than one. “Prior to doing this work you don’t realize how close you are to homelessness yourself,” he notes.

Calvin Phillips, vice president of The Lord’s Place’s housing services, says the Chimbandis’ deep understanding of his organization’s mission allows their close collaboration to have an even greater community impact. “We started out saying it was a partnership, but now we talk on a regular basis, and it’s become more of a family,” Phillips says. “They understand the work we’re doing, how we deal with the homeless [population], and what we’re looking for when we’re talking about affordable housing.”

The Chimbandis are on a mission to keep expanding We Second Chance so that they can continue to be a part of the solution to homelessness in Palm Beach County. They say they’re proud to be working with an agency like The Lord’s Place that shares their same goals.

“This is something that’s much bigger than my husband and I,” Nyasha says. “We love working with The Lord’s Place and their approach to ending homelessness. They recognize it’s not a one [person] show.” (wesecondchance.com) «

A GOOD NIGHT’S REST

THE ROLE NUTRITION PLAYS IN THE QUALITY OF YOUR SLEEP

What is Melatonin?

COURTESY OF HIVE FOR HER.

&

PROPS COURTESY OF HIVE

Melatonin is a hormone that the brain’s pineal gland produces in response to darkness. Maybe you’ve heard of the importance of seeing the sun first thing in the morning and avoiding screens in the bedroom to help set your circadian rhythm (the internal clock that controls the sleepwake cycle). When we have trouble sleeping, we often chalk it up to too much stress, too many intrusive thoughts, too much blue light, or an overall feeling of restlessness. When that sleep-wake cycle feels off and sleep is hard to come by, many of us are quick to turn to sleeping pills or synthetic melatonin.

However, what most people are unaware of is that your gut produces 400 times more melatonin than your brain does. How does this work? The gut microbiome (a collection of trillions of gut bacteria) converts nutrients from your food into serotonin, which is the moodstabilizing hormone that can be thought of as the building blocks for melatonin, the sleep hormone. The body does this beautifully, if the gut microbiome is balanced and we are getting adequate nutrition and vitamins—primarily an amino acid called tryptophan and vitamins

such as magnesium, vitamin D, zinc, and omega-3s. In fact, magnesium deficiency has been linked with low melatonin production.

There are numerous ways you can improve your sleep through your diet. For example, cherries, especially tart cherries or Montmorency cherries, have been shown to increase melatonin levels; consuming just 6 ounces of cherry juice can increase the body’s ability to use tryptophan. Plants and herbs—including chamomile, valerian, and lavender—can also help relax the nervous system. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to your pillowcase, dilute it and apply it to your forehead, or add culinary lavender to your tea. Read on for more tips for better sleep.

4 OTHER WAYS TO IMPROVE SLEEP

» Exercise, yoga, and meditation. Just 10 minutes a day can lower stress hormones and promote calmness.

» Avoid caffeine after 12 p.m.

» Use the bedroom for sleep, sex, and calming activities. Try eliminating the television and read instead (not off a screen).

» Wait two to three hours after eating before going to sleep. Lying down while trying to digest a meal can cause discomfort and disrupt sleep.

Circadian clocks regulate our physiological processes—like sleeping and eating patterns—and greatly influence health and disease. Research by Katja Lamia, PhD, is showing how circadian clocks affect everything from metabolism to tumors. Her discoveries have the potential to lead to new therapies for a variety of diseases, including cancer.

Supercharging the immune system to destroy tumors

Our immune system surveys our bodies for tumors, which it can eliminate. However, over time, tumors learn to escape immune surveillance mechanisms and immune cells become exhausted, resulting in malignancies. In this Front Row lecture, Silke Paust, PhD, will share how her laboratory is using powerful immunological and imaging techniques to understand what immune cells need to infiltrate and eradicate solid tumors and their metastatic tissues. This research will address knowledge gaps in the tumor immunology field and enable the design of safe and effective immunotherapy products for difficult-to-treat, highly metastatic cancers.

YOUR PASSPORT TO THE MOST FASCINATING CORNERS OF THE GLOBE

Cabo COOL

If you sign up for an agave tasting at Zadún, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Mexico’s Los Ca bos region, be prepared to walk out with more than a buzz. In addition to sips of some very fine mezcal and raicilla, you’ll get a taste of the mythology of the places where the agave spir its are distilled. Take sotol, for example. Out in the desert, the story goes, sotoleros catch a rattle snake and dunk it in the firewater, fangs and all, until it drowns. That microdose of venom is sup posed to be good for the health, to add vigor. We’re told it’s a local legend. Maybe.

Moments like this are typical of the ethos of Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties. As the highest expression of the brand, these resorts (there are five around the world, the other four are in In donesia, Thailand, Puerto Rico, and Japan) aim to immerse guests in the culture, history, and

COURTESY OF ZADÚN, A RITZ-CARLTON RESERVE ZADÚN, ONE OF RITZ-CARLTON’S RARE RESERVE PROPERTIES, IS A CHIC OASIS ON THE RUGGED LOS CABOS COAST Inset: A corten steel “skin” encases Candil, the resort’s agave bar. Below: Spa Alkemia invites guests to take the healing waters.

flavors of a region while providing next-level luxury. Each of the Reserves has a unique nar rative that’s tied to the locale and its people.

Zadún sits at the crossroads of desert and sea, between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortéz, so its story revolves around the rugged environ ment of Baja California Sur. Baja is famous for winter whale-watching, and Zadún’s perch atop a hilly landscape is the ideal place to observe the rituals of these gentle giants. From December to April, humpback and gray whales travel to the warm waters of the Sea of Cortéz—“the aquar ium of the world,” accord ing to Jacques Cousteau—to mate, calve, and nurture their young. Sometimes they’re so close to the coast, you can lit erally see them breaching from the terrace of your villa. For a more intimate encounter, your personal tosoani (a brilliant combination of concierge and butler) can arrange a private 2-hour boat excursion with the

resort’s Ambassadors of the Environment, a team of trained naturalists who combine facts and fun to make nature come alive.

While nothing outranks whale-watching on the bucket-list scale, the Ambassadors offer a wide spectrum of programs to keep guests of all ages engaged. On a rainy afternoon, sign up for the chocolate-making experience. It starts benignly enough with a history lesson, where you’ll learn that cacao beans were once more valuable than gold and that Montezuma drank 50 cups of chocolate a day, then progresses to a hands-on part that will make you appreciate that bar of Godiva in a whole new way. After roasting, peeling, and grinding the cacao beans, you’ll simmer them in hot milk with the spices of your choice. No instant gratification here, but good things—in this case, the drink of the Aztec gods—are worth the wait.

On the more active front, the Ambassadors lead morning and afternoon hikes through the landscapes of Puerto Los Cabos. The steep, rocky trails leading to the highest point of the Zadún preserve grant glorious views of the sea and desert ecosystem, and the exercise will jus tify the churros after dinner. For a deeper dive into the local flora and fauna, a guided 3-hour trip to the San José Estuary combines hiking with serious bird-watching.

Indigenous tradition extends to Spa Alke mia, where therapies are inspired by ancient healing techniques and native ingredients. The Desert Botánica Ritual incorporates poultices with botanicals found in the Baja desert, and the Soothing Massage delivers a hydrating jolt, compliments of a prickly pear and agave infu sion. The can’t-miss treatment here is the Sava sana Experience involving music and sound. For this, you lie in Savasana posture on a mat

while sounds (some musical, some not) sur round you. The idea is that the vibrations reach deep within the body to bring on a complete meditative state and, subsequently, a state of awareness and well-being.

If days at Zadún are tonic for the body, nights are for the soul. As daylight diminishes, the steel “skin” surrounding Candil lights up, beckon ing guests to sip an agave cocktail before din ing at the fire kitchen of Humo. Mexican and Peruvian specialties are prepared on a woodburning parrilla and served sizzling to the table. Don’t miss the Baja-endemic snook or any of the choice beef cuts accompanied by grilled veggies and a killer chimichurri.

Whether dining at Humo or one of the more casual restaurants, music continues into the night, resonating across the hillside. On the lawn by the pool, families peer through telescopes at the stars, which seem brighter and more abun dant here. It’s a really happy energy, and that in it self is an experience.

Spectating in STYLE

If you’re a horse-show enthusiast, or on the sup port team of a competitive equestrian, you may be used to long hours on hard bleachers or grass, lackluster food, and facilities that might not be best de scribed as “glamorous.” The World Equestrian Center (worldequestriancenter.com) and its showpiece, The Equestrian Hotel (equestrianhotel.com), are here to change all that.

Located at the west end of Ocala amid horse farms and sprawling golf communities, the 380-acre complex rivals—and in many cases exceeds—Wellington Inter national (where the Winter Equestrian Festival is held) as the epicenter of equestrian competition. With multiple indoor and outdoor arenas, the WEC is equipped for grand-scale competitions on the pro and collegiate levels. Almost every discipline, from dressage and hunter/jumper to Western pleasure and reining, has a home here, and an expansive polo facility is currently under construction. Be yond equestrian, there are facilities for sporting events like volleyball, cheerleading, and even a national-level dog show.

In the middle of it all—literally—is The Equestrian Hotel. It’s logical to assume that The Equestrian accommodates competitors and their

entourages, but that’s only part of the picture. Nearly half of the guests of the 248-room hotel are either horse lovers who enjoy the energy and spectacle of the sport, or travelers looking for a luxury vacation with an unusual spin.

Lounging in an elegant suite while watching a dressage competition beyond a picture window is definitely not your everyday hotel fare. The Equestrian puts you in the heart of the action without sacrific ing the comforts and style of a high-end hotel. Marble bathrooms, haberdashery-inspired fabrics, and elevated classic design are all

accommodation hallmarks, but it’s the bird’s-eye view of the sporting events—like your own private box!—that sets the rooms apart.

The public places are opulent but restrained. The lobby blends de mure elements such as panel molding and mahogany millwork with glitzy touches like Swarovski crystal chandeliers and unapologetic strokes of gold. Naturally, equine references from horse-head lamps to stirrup drawer pulls are everywhere. The showstopper here is undoubt edly the floor-to-ceiling fireplace, but don’t miss the dog paintings that decorate practically every square inch of wall space on the ground lev el. It has to be one of the biggest collections of dog art, anywhere.

On the dining front, the big story is Stirrups (stirrupsocala.com), as much for its fine-dining menu as its terrace overlooking the Grand Arena. Dine on prime steaks or Southern fare like summer-corn hush puppies and black-eyed pea salad while watching equestrian events just steps from your table. If you can snag a seat at the Yellow Pony (yellowponyocala.com), jump at the chance. This buzzing gastropub is all about its bourbons and whiskeys, but its Tatanka Blue bison burger is the stuff of legends. Order it with a side of garlic-parmesan

french fries and atone later.

It’s easy to make a weekend of exploring the hotel and show grounds, but the surrounding area is compelling in its own right. Ocala is an outdoor enthusiast’s playground, with such attractions as Ocala National Forest (fs.usda.gov) and some of the state’s most beautiful springs. Closest to the WEC, Rainbow Springs (visitrainbow springs.com) is a popular spot for tubing and swimming (that water!). A bit farther but worth the drive, Juniper Springs (fs.usda.gov) offers family-friendly, prolific snorkeling on crystal-clear water. For adrena line seekers, The Canyons (zipthecanyons.com) is a scenic and chal lenging spot for zip lining (including a full moon adventure). Opt for the Big Cliff Canyon tour and fly over lakes, treetops, and canyons— one of many bucket-list experiences that can be checked off during a stay-and-play at The Equestrian. «

JOURNEYS

I’m a range anxietist. Each time I get behind the wheel of an electric vehicle with a longish drive ahead, a tsunami of fear washes over me. Am I going to run out of juice before I can find a socket? It’s the same anxiety seen at airports and Starbucks across the land: smartphone us ers with power cords in hand, desperately in search of a vacant outlet.

But there’s hope on the horizon. The remarkable Mercedes-Benz Vi sion EQXX can go for an astonishing 747 miles on a single charge. To put that into perspective, 747 miles is roughly the distance from New York to Chicago, Miami to Charlotte, and L.A. to San Fran and back. In a recent record-shattering run, the EQXX whizzed across Europe, from Mercedes headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, to Silverstone, England.

I’ve come to the Mercedes-Benz research center in rural Immendingen (south of Stuttgart) to take a closer look at this visionary Vision EQXX. Right now, the EQXX is a concept car, with no plans for production. But the lessons learned from this advanced piece of engineering and technol ogy will be incorporated into pretty much all upcoming Mercedes EVs.

See it in the aluminum and it’s a jaw-dropper, largely on account of that teardrop body design. And it doesn’t just look slippery, it is slippery.

Mercedes achieved a drag coefficient of 0.17, making the Vision EQXX the most aerodynamic road car ever.

Climb aboard and the surprisingly production-ready cabin feels part George Jetson, part Mercedes E-Class circa 2030. It’s packed with some really cool features, like a massive, pillar-to-pillar, 47-inch touchscreen. The interior uses lots of sustainable, non-animal materials too, includ ing upholstery made from cactus, mushroom roots, and vegan silk. The funky blue shag mats on the floor are a mix of bamboo and recycled plastic water bottles. Need a snack? Chew on a seat.

Arguably the Merc’s most impressive feature, however, is what lies beneath, i.e., the battery pack under the floor. It has roughly the same 100-kWh output as the battery powering the latest flagship all-electric

Mercedes EQS sedan, but it’s 30 percent lighter and 50 percent smaller.

Tipping the scales at just under 3,900 pounds, the EQXX is 1,800 pounds lighter than an EQS 580. Reduced weight means less power is needed to move it; the relatively modest 241-hp rear-mounted electric motor can punch the EQXX from standstill to 60 mph in a sprightly 7 seconds. The EQXX also comes with 117 solar panels integrated into the roof that juice all the accessories, including the cooling fans, lights, and controls. On a long drive, they can add up to 15 miles of range.

Piloting the EQXX around the sinewy Immendingen road course requires you to totally recalibrate your driving style. For starters there’s the

aero effect of that 0.17 drag coefficient. Lift off the throttle while cruising a flat section of the track and the speed of this silver bullet just doesn’t change. The car coasts and keeps on coasting.

When you need to scrub off some speed—yes, that’s a tight corner up ahead—the brake pedal is there, but it’s not necessary. Instead, steering-wheel paddles provide four stages of regenerative braking. In one-pedal driving mode, lifting off the gas will stop you in your tracks, while dumping juice back into the battery.

Other than that, the EQXX drives like any other EQ electric Mercedes. That means instant acceleration, silent running, agile handling, and the uncanny feeling that you’re helping save the planet. Range anxiety? Consider me cured. «

SILENT RUNNING

Along with beaches, gators, and Key lime pie, the one thing Florida has in abundance is sunshine. So, when a boatbuilder comes up with a luxury cruiser that’s 100 percent powered by the sun, it’s worth taking notice.

Austrian-owned Silent Group launched its massive solar-powered catamarans in 2016. Back in 2018, its then flagship Silent 64 grabbed headlines by becoming the first solar-powered catamaran to cross the Atlantic, from Spain to Barbados, in just 16 days.

Today, I’m in Fort Lauderdale, slathering on the SPF 50 and trying out the Silent Group’s newest power cat, the $3-million-and-up Silent 60.

Its claim to fame is its ability to use sunshine to cruise at 6 to 8 knots for up to nine hours, or roughly 100 nautical miles a day. Ease back to a sail boat-like 4 to 5 knots and you have the possibility of near perpetual motion.

However, for those who live by the mantra that life is too short to own an ugly boat, this might not be the craft for you. With its boxy superstruc ture, black-framed vertical glass, slabby hull sides, and Kansas-flat roof, it’s all function and not a lot of form.

But space—and plenty of it—is a huge part of the appeal here. At al most 30 feet wide, it’s half as wide as it is long. The outside entertaining areas are truly vast, whether it’s the full-width rear cockpit, the spacious flybridge, or the sunken deck on the bow. Inside, you could hold a party for 20 in the salon and it would still feel empty. Add to that the large galley and dining area, plus the choice of three or four cavernous cabins, includ ing a master that takes up one entire hull.

captain, Kyle Miller. With a tap of the bow thruster control and a burst of electric power, he eases the 60 out of its side-on slip and into the open waters.

To get technical for a second, this 60 comes with Silent’s E-Power propulsion pack, with its twin 268-hp electric motors and 207-kWh lithium-ion batteries. It’s good for 7-knot cruise speeds with a claimed— though optimistic—15-knot top speed.

If you want more juice, then go for the E-Power+ package with twin 455-hp motors, 286-kWh batteries, and the promise of a brief 20-knot top speed. But remember that for anything over 5 knots you’ll need to crank up the diesel generator for one of every three hours to top off the batteries. Thankfully, like the electric motors, it is whisper quiet.

There is something totally soothing about gliding along with only the sound of water bubbling up in the wake, feeling the sun on your face, and knowing that it’s not costing you a dime in fuel. Miller tells me that one Silent 60 owner made the decision to buy after tiring of using his 80foot Italian motor yacht for family weekend trips from Lauderdale to the Bahamas and spending more than $12,000 on fuel. He’s not alone. Right now, more than 30 Silents are awaiting construction at the builder’s yards in Fano, Italy, and Istanbul, Turkey. In addition to the 60, there’s an 80 and even a superyacht-size 120-foot version.

I’m guessing somewhere in the instruction manual for each yacht is the line: Just add sunshine. «

Growing up, Kimberly Stewart used organizing as a way to maintain a semblance of structure while touring with her father, Rod Stewart. Now, she’s spun her space-curation skills into a bona fide business venture.

Kimberly Stewart is always on the go. In the span of just a few days, she took her 11-year-old daughter, Delilah, to Boston for summer sleepaway camp, then she flew to Palm Beach for her cover shoot before joining her family in Nashville for a concert where the performer was none other than her father, the legendary British rock and pop singer Rod Stewart.

When she’s finally back in Los Angeles and has a break in her schedule, we meet for a pool side lunch at The Cabana Café at The Beverly Hills Hotel, which is just a short drive from Kim berly’s Bel Air residence. She slides into the green-pinstriped booth wearing a satin maxi shift dress and a pair of black Bottega Veneta sunglasses that rest just below the blonde’s iconic fringe bangs.

Kimberly admits that the travel lifestyle is what she knows best from growing up in the ’80s and ’90s and spending summers or holidays on tour with her dad, who over a 60-year music career has performed more than 3,000 concerts across the globe. “From what I can remember as a young kid, you’re going literally from plane to car to hotel to gig and then sleeping there, and then plane to car to gig. That was my life.”

Every time she would find herself in a different city, the first thing Kimberly would do when they checked into a new hotel was organize her belongings. “That kind of structure made me feel safe, and it made me feel like each place I went to was like home,” she says. Her knack for unpacking became the foundation for her business, The Realm, which she launched at the beginning of 2021.

It all started when the COVID-19 pandemic put a pin in travel. Kimberly and Delilah, whom she co-parents with actor Benicio Del Toro, flew from Los Angeles to Florida to stay at Rod’s Palm Beach home. Kimberly remembers going there for family vacations ever since she was a teen ager. It became the place where she and her seven full and half brothers and sisters on her dad’s side could all be under one roof. Her dad and his wife, Penny Lancaster, would fly in from England with their two kids, and the other siblings who lived in the United States would travel down to Florida and stay at the oceanfront estate.

“It was our hub of meeting, so it was just always a place where we would have fun memories,” she says. “I remem ber bikes—we used to bike a lot. There would be 10 of us on the street on these bikes.”

Returning to the house in 2020 for an extended stay, Kimberly and Delilah settled into a morning routine to gether, since the time difference between the East and West Coasts meant Delilah didn’t have to log on for home schooling right away. “We would go to Starbucks and then we would go jump in the ocean and play on the sand, then she’d go take a shower, and she’d be in school until 5:30 p.m.,” Kimberly says.

With some extra time on her hands in the afternoons, Kimberly did what she’s always done when she’s away from home: She started tidying up the house—and the pantry in particular. She ordered containers on Amazon and organized all the snacks and ingredients, posting the before and after pictures on Instagram.

“I got all this feedback from it, and I was like, ‘Woah. This was just for fun. I’ve been doing this forever.’”

Given the response, her family and friends encouraged her to start a home organization company, and The Realm was born.

Operating out of Los Angeles and Palm Beach, Kimberly helps her often overwhelmed clients who have procrasti nated in organizing a pantry, a closet, or any other clutterprone room. She not only brings order to these spaces, but she also encourages and aids clients in the process of toss ing out the items they don’t need or use anymore. “There’s such an attachment to material objects and not wanting to get rid of stuff,” she says. “That’s the reason why spaces get so cluttered, because you just can’t let it go.”

Kimberly looks at each project like a puzzle, figur ing out how all the pieces can come together to create a space that is better utilized and more aesthetically pleas ing. Having grown up in the spotlight, she understands the vulnerability it takes for her clients to let her into their most personal spaces, and she values the trust she builds with them. Currently, she only takes on one client at a time in order to dedicate her full attention to them, since “it’s such an intimate thing that you’re doing with some one, you get quite close to them,” she says.

There’s also an element of styling to the job, especially when Kimberly helps her clients sort through their closets and toss out the pieces they don’t wear anymore. And who wouldn’t want advice from the effortlessly chic en trepreneur with her signature rock-meets-boho style?

“The other day my client texted me, and she asked, ‘What Chanel bag do you like better? Which will look better in the closet?’” Kimberly says with a laugh. “I said, ‘You’re getting a Chanel bag, it’s going to look great regardless. ... I like that color better.’”

Kimberly buys in bulk from The Container Store, keep ing an inventory of storage bins in a dedicated room at her Los Angeles home in case of shipping delays or shortages, which have affected her business since the be ginning. It’s the reason why she’s dreaming up her own line of organization products, from baskets to containers to hangers.

Another part of her long-term plan is to move more permanently to Palm Beach, though she’ll always keep a place in Los Angeles. When she’s on the island, a few favorite spots include Le Bilboquet or Sant Ambroeus for lunch, followed by shopping at The Royal Poinciana Plaza, where she says Delilah always wants to stop into Roller Rabbit and Stoney Clover Lane.

“Palm Beach to me is much slower [than Los Angeles], but at the same time, there’s just enough action,” she says. “Since COVID, a whole new group of New Yorkers and people from Europe and London have moved there, and it’s becoming a young, fun crowd.”

No matter if she’s working with a client in Los Ange les or Palm Beach, or traveling the world with her family in support of her dad, wherever Kimberly Stewart goes, she’s sure to finesse any place into a home. «

AT HOME THE HANS

Ben and Laetitia Han’s historic Palm Beach residence is as warm and welcoming as they are

Laetitia Han had a Proustian moment when she walked through the doors of Tre Fontane for the first time in 2014. Designed and built by architect Marion Sims Wyeth in 1924, the Estate Section abode was Wyeth’s personal home in Palm Beach and a showcase for the residential work he could do for his clients. But for Laetitia, a native Frenchwoman, it satisfied a sense of home that had been instilled in her by her parents, who cherished their family residence and long dinners together under the same roof.

“It smelled like my grandmother’s house, but in a good way,” Laetitia says of Tre Fontane, likening her first time inside to the moment in Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past when the narrator eats a madeleine that reminds him of childhood summers at his aunt’s home. “It was raining that day, and as I looked around, the home was so magical to me. I told my husband [radiation oncologist Ben Han] that we had to make an

offer, and he said to go ahead. So, I made one without Ben even seeing it.”

Not that he would have taken issue. By then the couple had been married for 17 years, after having met in his native Seattle, where Ben was finishing a medical internship and Laetitia was perfecting her English skills. They were young people doing old-soul things like going to the opera and enjoying fine dining. After they married and moved to West Palm Beach, it only made sense that they would yearn for a forever home that was imbued with a sense of warmth and permanence.

That journey began in El Cid. The couple was living in a rental in West Palm Beach at the time, and Laetitia was pregnant with their daughter, Chloe, now 17.

“When I was pregnant, I used to walk through El Cid, and I loved it so much,” Laetitia says. “After Chloe was born, I continued those walks with her in the stroller. Then one day I found a won derful home there for sale.”

The home was built in 1925, an era Laetitia loves for its mod ern glamour. It was a time when drop-waisted flapper gowns and bobbed hair replaced corseted dresses and tight updos, she says. Whether it was the clothes you wore or the home in which you lived, the fashion of the 1920s was all about flow and ease, a fact that was no doubt appealing to a youthful, modern family like the Hans.

“The youngest home I’ve ever lived in was from the 1930s,” La etitia notes. “With this house in El Cid, I loved the Mediterranean style too, because it feels like you’re on permanent vacation.”

The Hans settled in and became a part of the neighborhood, but eight years later Laetitia was strolling through Palm Beach’s Estate Section when she saw the unassuming facade of Tre Fontane and became intrigued.

“It was a bit of a mystery to me,” she says of the home. Although the residence was not yet on the market, Realtor Ben Stein showed it to her, and she immediately fell in love with the property. Chloe was still young, and the couple was looking for more space, privacy, and security.

Tre Fontane ticked all those boxes.

For the home’s interior, Laetitia en listed designer William R. Eubanks to bring her vision to life.

“Laetitia has a marvelous eye and loves the romantic aspect of architec ture and preservation,” says Eubanks, who is a friend of the couple. “She re ally did her homework and researched the home. I think when she walked into it, she just had this understanding. There was this sense of her belonging there. The front is very unassuming, but then you walk through the doors into that open courtyard. There’s an open covered staircase that goes up to the private suites. Even though it’s big, it is still very intimate.”

Designer William R. Eubanks collaborated with Laetitia Han to create a clean, youthful interior that also showcases the residence’s well-preserved architectural elements.
76 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Laetitia desired a clean, youthful interior that would allow the well-preserved architectural elements to shine. Eubanks succeeded in striking that balance, choosing creamy-hued furnishings and sheer window treatments that would be secondary to the stunning Cuban tile floors, beamed ceilings, and pecky cypress doors.

“Fortunately, Tre Fontane had been well-maintained all these years with min imal alterations,” Eubanks says. “Once you stripped away the draperies and other elements, you could see this house with high ceilings and palladium windows in the loggia and so many other beautiful details. [I realized I needed to] lighten the walls and let sunshine into the house. The goal was to enhance those elements rather than hide them with heavy curtains and so forth.”

The only structural changes Eubanks made were upstairs, where he cre ated a large dressing room for Laetitia, as well as his and her bathrooms. He also added a secret door from Chloe’s room into her mother’s dressing area so she could slip into the space for comfort or conversation. Downstairs, Laetitia enlarged the kitchen, and outside, the Hans added a pool pavilion, designed by Fairfax & Sammons and featuring hand-painted tiles.

Tre Fontane’s interior decor contains creamy-hued furnishings and sheer window treatments that invite light into the house and strike a balance PALMBEACHILLUSTRATED.COM | OCTOBER 2022 77 with its showstopping historical components, such as the intricate coffered ceiling, Cuban tile floors, palladium windows, and pecky cypress doors.

The Hans con tinue Wyeth’s tradition of Palm Beach enter taining at Tre Fontane. The im pressive size and gracious layout of the property— including its courtyard and water features— create an ideal environment for hosting chari table events such as the Ultimate Dinner Party to benefit Children’s Home Society of Florida.

Eubanks credits Laetitia as the driving force behind the design. “She belongs to the house, and it belongs to her,” he says. But Ben and Chloe also offered their input, making the result a true family affair. “Everyone had a say, and you can feel that when you walk in the front door,” Eubanks adds. Now, Ben enjoys relaxing in front of the television in the living room, while Chloe plays piano in the airy atrium, which has wonderful acoustics. Through her research, Laetitia learned that Wyeth’s wife used to play piano in that room and sing in French to her children.

“Although we love the location and being able to walk to the restaurants, we really do spend most of our time at home,” Laeti tia says. “Wyeth also liked to come home and eat lunch so that he could spend time with his family.”

Each year, Laetitia’s parents come from France to visit, and the scale of the home makes it possible for them to have mo ments of privacy and downtime. The size of the residence is also ideal for entertaining. One can open the French doors to the courtyard and enjoy the ocean breezes—and a cocktail—in the evening. On November 16, the Hans will host the opening cocktail party for the Ultimate Dinner Party, which benefits the Children’s Home Society of Florida.

THE HANS WILL OPEN TRE FONTANE TO SUPPORTERS OF CHILDREN’S HOME SOCIETY FOR A LAVISH COCKTAIL RECEPTION ON NOVEMBER 16.

“With younger people buying on the island, I think the Old Guard wants them to become interested and involved so they can continue the island’s good traditions,” Ben says. “When you move here, you’re not automatically a Palm Beacher, but you’re welcome. So, we have made the effort to come and be involved with events like this.”

It’s a social tradition that dates to Wyeth, who hosted his fair share of teas and parties within Tre Fontane’s walls. No matter where he traveled and what he built, Wyeth would return to his home to host new clients and grand celebrations that made it into the pages of The New York Times. But Tre Fontane was not Wyeth’s forever home in the way it is now for the Hans, a family who has found their own version of paradise in a history-rich residence that they lovingly restored.

For his part, Eubanks is grateful to have played a role in pre serving a part of Palm Beach’s history. “It’s important to be able to hold onto our past instead of seeing so much of it get torn away,” he says. “For Laetitia, Tre Fontane was love at first sight. When you see a client have a spark in their eyes like that, you know they immediately understand how they will live in it and make it a happy home.” «

“There isn’t a plant I don’t like,” declares Kit Pannill, whose Palm Beach home reflects her love of horticulture. With her gloves in one hand and gardening shears in the other, she strikes a strong silhouette against her beds of pink pentas and the lush greenery that covers her property. She is Monet’s Garden at Giverny painting come to life—and the beauty that surrounds her is a testament to decades of hard work and a lifetime of study.

In the 1980s, Pannill and her second husband settled in Palm Beach, eventually moving into a home with a long-neglected garden that Pan-

nill has loved and nurtured back to life over the last 35 years. In 2020, the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach recognized her efforts at what is affectionately known as the “Lake House” and awarded her the Lesly S. Smith Landscape Award.

Nestled along the Lake Trail and divided into sections, Pannill’s garden curves around the back and side of her home. A narrow, shaded path leads to an open area and a white trellis slat house designed in the style of a nineteenth-century garden folly by Palm Beach architect Jacqueline Albarran of SKA Architect + Planner.

Kit Pannill is renowned for her award-winning, multifaceted garden at the “Lake House” in Palm Beach.

allows the humid air to pass through and nurture Pannill’s brilliantly colored orchids, all of which are at different stages of development. “Orchids do well in the trees, but in the orchid house they do need a lot of care,” she notes. “You have to spray them, not only with water but for all kinds of bugs.”

Pannill has been a student of gardening since age 6. During World War II, while her father was stationed overseas, Pannill and her mother lived with her great aunt in Petersburg, Virginia. “She was a great gar dener,” Pannill says of her aunt. “She would take me out in the yard and talk about this and we’d do that. Once I got married, we moved to Vermont and lived in a little farmer’s cottage—a tiny place with beds all

around—and I planted plants and flowers in the spring and summer time. I just loved it.”

In 1966, Pannill and her first husband were on the move again, this time to Tampa. Over the next 12 years, Pannill fostered her first Florid ian garden and developed a fondness for orchids. When she returned to Virginia, her orchids came with her. Now, at her Palm Beach home, her collection continues to thrive and boasts a variety of beauties including Paphiopedilums, Cattleyas, and Vandas. In 2001, after working with the American Orchid Society on a project, an orchid hybrid was named the Vanda Kit Pannill Orchid in her honor. “It’s a pretty yellow Vanda, but it blooms in the summer when I’m not here,” she shares with a chuckle.

82 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Pannill did not have a vision for the garden at the start, but as things evolved the main area seen from the terrace became a canvas of green, with big pots of white begonias and other variegated plants in the beds. “I like to keep this part of the yard green and white,” she says. “In the other part of my yard, I call it a ‘Mexican hat dance,’ with all the colors in it from the pentas, different types of bromeliads, and euphorbias.”

Pannill is an active member of The Garden Club of America and The Garden Club of Palm Beach, for which she helps to manage the maintenance and upkeep of the club’s botanical garden at The Society of the Four Arts. She has won numer ous Best in Show awards at The Garden Club of Palm Beach’s biannual shows, and she’s received the Catherine Beattie Medal (The Garden Club of America’s top prize) five times.

“There are many beautiful gardens in Palm Beach,” notes fellow Garden Club member Christine Aylward, “but to have

the deep horticultural knowledge also and want to be hands on is not so common. [Kit] is very accomplished in ‘hort’ and yet still very inquisitive about new things.”

For all its accolades, Pannill’s garden has had some setbacks. In October 2005, Hurricane Wilma crossed directly over Pan nill’s home. “Things were twirling around and around,” she re calls. “After the eye of the storm, it came back a second time, and there literally wasn’t a leaf in my yard.” She notes that it was depressing to see her garden so barren, and her first incli nation was to move and start anew. “After six months things did start coming back,” she says, “but it took a long time to recover.”

84 PALM BEACH ILLUSTRATED

Pannill would be the first to admit that a gar dener’s work is never done. She loves sitting on her terrace with a good book in hand, but inevita bly, she notes, those peaceful moments are inter rupted with a “What’s that over there?” Something as small as a dead leaf will jump-start her into action, putting pause to her restful terrace time. When it comes to tips for fellow gardeners, she suggests going with your gut and curating piec es that make you happy. “I just happen to love plants, and the weirder the better.” «

I JUST HAPPEN TO LOVE PLANTS, AND THE WEIRDER THE BETTER.”

BOLD FLAVORS, COOL COCKTAILS, AND LOCAL FAVORITES

Chef Pushkar Marathe’s Stage Kitchen & Bar has already garnered a devoted local following, but magic is now striking twice with the opening of Ela Curry Kitchen in The Shops of Donald Ross Vil lage. Another venture between Marathe and partner Andy Dugard, Ela spotlights Indian street food and thali-style dishes that are traditionally composed of many small items. Chef Marathe notes that regu lar Stage diners will find familiar flavors at Ela, but the experience itself will be even more transportive.

“The cuisine at Stage has always drawn inspiration from Indian food and spices, which our patrons who support Stage have enjoyed and become accustomed [to],” says Marathe. “When they come to Ela, they will recognize flavors, but the

food will be like going to India. ... They will travel there through our food in terms of traditional ways of serving [and] the fla vors, giving them a more traditional expe rience sharing my culture and heritage.”

In Sanskrit, “ela” translates to “carda mom,” a native spice that is significant in both northern and southern Indian cook ing. For Marathe, the name encapsulates the personal nature of this project.

“There are a lot of memories behind this menu,” he says. “Many dishes have memories attached to me and my child hood or my upbringing, whether it is with my mom, gatherings and travels with friends [and] family, or my grandmother’s cooking. Through Ela, we will share many memories and have many stories to tell.”

SUSHI FELLA DELIVERS SUPERIOR ROLLS AND MORE STRAIGHT TO YOUR DOOR

For sushi chef Macia Malinowski, the COVID-19 pandemic led to a change in business model and a change of scenery.

Originally from Warsaw, Poland, Malinowski moved to New York City a few months after running the New York City Marathon. It was there, in the city’s finest sushi restaurants including Michelinstarred Sushi Nakazawa, that he honed his skills. When the pandemic hit and restaurants closed, Malinowski took a brief break and then realized: “I can do this at home, no problem.”

He started offering a madeto-order sushi service from his kitchen in Jackson Heights, Queens. Now, after a move south, he operates Sushi Fella out of his home in Lake Worth, creating platters of rolls, sashimi, and nigiri for customers, most of whom have found him

through social media or by word of mouth. Orders are available for pickup or delivery, and Malinowski recommends placing orders at least one to two days in advance.

Malinowski’s menu includes a few standard sets, such as the made-for-two Double, the little-bit-of-everything Fiesta, and the loaded Killer, as well as a nigiri set and a sashimi set; he is also able to accommodate special requests. Here, we spotlight a few of Malinowski’s standout rolls. (instagram. com/sushifella)

The Chef & the Somm

Chef Jacob Bickelhaupt and his sommelier wife, Nadia, want to welcome you into their second home—and they’re doing so with Konro, a new 10-seat, omakase style chef’s counter in West Palm Beach.

“As a husband-and-wife team, Nadia and I approach Konro as an extension of our home,” says Jacob, who has earned two Michelin stars and was named one of Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs in 2015. “In my experience at most Michelin-star restaurants there are multiple levels of chefs and staff who cook, prepare, and serve the offerings. At Konro, there is only one level of staff, just Nadia and myself, which is an extremely important part of your experience.”

The restaurant’s name comes from one of Jacob’s signature dishes: A5 Wagyu from Japan that is triple seared on a Konro grill over Binchotan charcoal. While the meat is the star, Jacob believes the tare (aged soy sauce that is sometimes mixed with mirin and sugar) is the most indispensable element. “I first made my own over a decade ago,” he says. “Conceptually much like a sourdough starter, it is something that you keep indefinitely, using it only to grill my A5 Wagyu and adding more as needed.”

For the pairing, Nadia opts for sake. “Although it seems very counterintuitive, the Wagyu is not necessarily the ‘richest’ dish on our menu,” she says. “Typically, you would think of serving a big red wine with a steak, however the Wagyu benefits from something lighter that brings out the beautiful flavor of the meat and tare instead of overpowering it.” (konrorestaurant.com) —M.M.

RAISE A GLASS TO FALL WITH A LOWPROOF APPLE COCKTAIL

Fresh, crisp apples are synonymous with fall weather. Although we are not known for our apple orchards in Florida, we can certainly enjoy their bountiful fruits. Celebrate the slightly cooler temperatures and the season of harvest with my recipe for the Apple Blossom Fizz. In this fresh take on a whiskey fizz, apple juice, a squeeze of lemon, and a delicate jasmine syrup add zing. Topped with kombucha, this sparkling drink will brighten up any October occasion.

Apple Blossom Fizz Ingredients

1 green apple, juiced, or 1/2 cup of fresh-pressed apple juice

1/4 oz. freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/4 oz. jasmine syrup

2 oz. whiskey (or try with rum or cognac)

Splash of kombucha, preferably flavored with ginger or apple

In an ice-filled shaker, combine all the ingredients, except for the kombucha, and shake. Transfer to a glass with fresh ice. Top with kombucha.

Jasmine Syrup Ingredients

1/4 cup culinary-grade dried jasmine buds

1 cup honey or organic agave

1 cup water

Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and stir until the honey fully dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain into a clean jar, cover, and keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks.

FROM CITY TO OCEAN, THE FINE ART OF PALM BEACH LIVING

DESIGN

NEW YORK STATE OF MIND

Taking inspiration from the beautiful rooftop gardens of New York City, designers Mimi Mc Makin and Cece Bowman of Kemble Interiors worked with landscape architect Keith Williams of Nievera Williams to transform this simple stone terrace with metal awning supports into a lush, garden-like oasis perched above the bustle of Palm Beach.

“Keith Williams successfully filled the space with plants from floor to ceiling, which gave us a won derful canvas to work with,” McMakin says. “We were furnishing a garden high up in the sky, so we selected green- and white-striped fabrics and clean whites to not fight with the verdant backdrop.”

The designers also created a furniture plan for the entire outdoor area that has an easy flow and accommodates multiple purposes.

“Here you see a sitting area where you can gather for a cocktail to enjoy the sun setting over the golf course,” McMakin shares. “Not pictured, there is a dining area, and of equal importance to our client, there is a putting green. The putting green also serves as available space sans furniture for people to stand and gather if there is a party going on.

here is no better way to instantly enliven a home’s interior or boost the mood of its inhabitants than a bouquet of fresh flowers. Instead of outsourc ing your blooms, consider planting your own supply for year-round procurement.

Katie Rhineholz’s love of growing started at an early age, and her passion for flowers and gardens eventually led her to create White Trail Social & Garden Club , a 25-acre flower farm in Jupiter Farms. White Trail’s flower fields and scenic gardens are open each week

for members of the community to enjoy and shop from their farm-raised botanicals. They even offer a plant hotline that promises quick, local advice and trouble shooting for garden issues. In an effort to encourage people to “just get growing,” Rhineholz has agreed to share her proven strategies for creating a bountiful cut flower garden. (whitetrailjupiter.com)

STEP #1: Selecting the space

We advise watching the spot you have in mind before you dig in. Pay close attention to drainage; this is a simple process that requires basic observation. Does a puddle pro duce and linger for days after a big rain or do you see water dissipate within a short time after showers? Puddles equal a no-plant zone. Select another area or plant in a raised gar den bed.

A general question we ask our home garden clients when aiding with proper placement is, “Does grass grow in the area you wish to plant?” If the answer is yes, you’re off to a great start. Two to three hours of Florida sun is more than adequate for a cut flower garden. If the area gets less sun than that, seek shade-loving varieties like hosta.

STEP #2: Preparing the area

We take a natural approach when growing on our farm and recommend that same method to home gardeners. Be ing conscientious is always wise and it protects a cut flower garden’s greatest ally: pollinators. Amending our naturally rich soil with a bagged vegetable mix or manure compost will give your perennials an added boost of nutrients, which most flowering species love. Nutrients increase blooms, period.

STEP #3: Selecting the varieties and size

Roses

Roses love South Florida’s warm climate, bloom year-round, and live for hundreds of years with proper care.

Sunflowers

Hearty sunflowers are a cinch to grow year-round in our zone. Look for unique versions of this long-lasting favorite like White Lite or Iris [Tectorum Rose] Pink.

Gomphrena

This unexpected beauty has petite and perfect spherical blooms in special shades of purple and white. It is a great addition to any bouquet because it stands upright on long, straight stems and can even be easily dried.

Pampas Grass

Not often seen as a cut flower, the stunning white plume it produces is surely a bloom after all. One stem can make a huge statement in a large vase or special arrangement, and they are great for drying.

Buddleia

This easy-to-grow beauty is also known as butterfly bush. The cone-shaped flowers are comprised of hundreds of fragrant, nectar-filled blossoms.

Starting from seeds or seedlings can add months or years to achieving your desired end result. We are all about instant gratification when it comes to

enjoying the wonders of a backyard garden and recommend visiting local farms and nurseries to purchase established plants. Choosing plant material that was raised in your zone can be the secret to longevity. Plants that were raised in a similar climate are tempered to survive area-specific elements, weather conditions, and pests.

STEP #4: Developing a maintenance plan

A solid water plan is crucial when embarking on any garden project. Irrigation is the key to success for any size garden, as deep watering is needed daily in our climate. For those who don’t have irrigation, we recommend setting a daily reminder on your phone to hand-water. Take a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and make it part of your day to sit and enjoy your plantings. Have a gathering basket and floral snips nearby so you can carry your blooms inside.

STEP #5: Keeping the flowers healthy

If you don’t cut a flower during its peak, the plant will begin a process of removal known as dieback. Just like when the plant creates a bloom, dieback uses a plant’s energy. When you see a flower lose its petals, this is known as a spent bloom. The sooner you remove this area of the plant, the faster you will save your bloomer’s energy. Energy saved will be redirected into creating a new bloom.

As it turns out, plants want what we do: food, water, and admiration. If you can work these three steps into your schedule, you’ll be a successful grower and the flowers will repay you in blooms.

YOUTHFUL EXUBERANCE Designer Laetitia Laurent of Laure Nell Interiors created this fun room for the young daughters of the homeowners, who moved from Los Angeles to Boca Raton and wanted a whimsical room where the girls could play, create art, read, and lounge around. “We opted for a bold mural using the Bloom wallpaper by Phillip Jeffries,” Laurent says. “We had it printed on a hemp background, which makes the [wall] paper more durable than paper or silk. We wanted to make sure it could withstand two active girls and grow with the space as the girls matured.” Boca Raton (laurenell.com)

Knock on WOOD

THESE WOODEN HOMES DEMONSTRATE THE MATERIAL’S UNIQUE ISLAND STYLE

Certain building materials are ubiquitous in Palm Beach: Spanish tiles, wrought iron, and keystone among them. Wood, however, whether shipped by barge or salvaged from shipwrecks, was also commonly used in the early years of the island’s development. During the early to mid-twentieth century, Palm Beach architects experimented with wood in innovative ways. These homes boast three different plans, yet they all showcase the warmth and versatility of wood.

1. TREANOR & FATIO: SAND REEF, 1941

Treanor & Fatio built Sand Reef on a sand dune on North Ocean Boulevard for Rus sian Prince Alexis Zalstem-Zalessky and Princess Evangeline Johnson. The house was constructed entirely of California redwood and Weldtex—a striated plywood popular during the mid-century—for the walls and ceilings. No plaster was used. Russell Wright, an industrial designer and friend of Princess Evangeline’s, designed most of the modern furniture. All of the rooms were planned with easy access to the beach, and there was a lanai (or outdoor patio) for more of that seamless indoor-outdoor living.

12. WYETH & KING: WORTHINGTON SCRANTON RESIDENCE, 1942

Working just north of Palm Beach County in Hobe Sound, Wyeth & King designed this residence for Worthington Scranton, president of the Scranton Gas and Water Company. The Scranton residence was one of many Wyeth homes on Beach Road. Vertical cypress boards were fashioned in the board-andbatten siding style, and finished cypress was used in the interior. The plan was cen tered around a patio and featured a living and dining lanai. The home was included in the 1944 edition of Architectural Forum.

3. ALFRED BROWNING PARKER: MASS RESIDENCE, 1955

After seeing Alfred Browning Parker’s

Miami home published in House Beautiful , Joseph and Henrietta Mass knew he was their architect. They wanted a home that was filled with volume, while still feeling connected to the outdoors. Mass was in the building materials business himself, serving as CEO of the Stylon Corporation, a manufacturer of ceramic tile. In addition to Florida tidewater red cypress, the home’s materials included concrete, glass, quarried keystone, and copper roofing. The house had a distinctive triangular motif, with rooms that extended beyond the boundar ies of the building. Originally located on the end of Everglades Island Drive, this structure was demolished in 1977 after changing ownership.

Showing a Lot of Promise

Medical Center, part of the Palm Beach Health Network, has pledged to sponsor the treatment and care for local un insured and underinsured women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer after screenings made possible by the Promise Fund.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is the latest to celebrate the monumental strides that the Promise Fund of Florida has made in its ongoing quest to help women gain access to preventive care and early screenings for breast and cervical cancer. Her June visit to West Palm Beach was part of the Biden Administration’s Cancer Moonshot initia tive “to highlight the importance of private sector commitments and collaboration in the effort to end cancer as we know it.” This noteworthy recognition comes on the heels of the announcement that Good Samaritan

Since launching its patient-centered navigation component of the Continuum of Care model in 2018, the Promise Fund has educated, screened, and aided more than 16,000 women in predominantly low-income communities of color. The organization has aimed to double that impact in 2022 and reach all 80,000 unin sured women in Palm Beach County by 2024.

For Promise Fund founder Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, her 40 years of experience building the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization helps to drive that momentum. “Women of diversity are dying of breast and cervical cancer at an alarming rate, and they are dying right here in South Florida,” Brinker states on the Promise Fund website. “Our goal is to reduce early deaths from breast and cervical cancer in our com munity, and the Promise Fund is the way to do it.” (promisefundofflorida.org) –L.G.S.

STRATEGIES

TRAINING FOR A TRIATHLON

Want to take on the challenge of a triathlon but not sure how to get started? Kristy Breslaw, president of the Boca Raton Triathletes and a triathlon veteran of nearly 20 years, shares a few of her top training strategies. (bocatri.com) –L.G.S

Join a local tri club. In triathlon, there is a very steep learning curve. As a part of a club, you can learn from experienced people so

you don’t have to waste time trying to figure things out on your own.

Consistency is key. It is the week in and week out of consistent training that helps you get to the start line and finish without getting injured.

Make time for rest and recovery. Be sure to eat healthy, sleep, and take a rest day during the week to help see the best fitness gains.

Identify your largest hurdle. The biggest challenge is usually the

swim. People either don’t know how to swim, are afraid of the open water, or are not comfortable swimming in big groups. You have to practice, prac tice, practice. Get into the ocean and also swim in groups to get over the anxiety of a swim start in a triathlon.

Jump in. Sign up for a race. Having a goal helps focus your training and keeps you motivated.

County CREATORS

THE BRAINCHILD: NightCap

THE CREATORS: Shirah and Michael Benarde, West Palm Beach

THE INSPIRATION: At 16 years old, Shirah Benarde dreamed up (literally) the idea of NightCap after hearing about the horrors of drink spiking from friends in college. She created a prototype from her mom’s pantyhose and a scrunchie and teamed up with her brother, Michael. The resulting product is a wearable scrunchie with a cup cover you remove from the scrunchie pocket and place over your drink. A straw hole then allows you to sip safely. After appearing on Shark Tank, the company gained credibility and doubled its lifetime sales in a few hours. “We’ve made the product available on Amazon Prime and expanded to Canada and Europe,” Shirah shares. “We’ve also worked with over 75 universities to provide NightCaps at discounted bulk prices so they can be handed out to students at no cost.” (nightcapit.com)

THE BRAINCHILD: Booty Bands

THE CREATOR: Jacki Shea, Jupiter

THE INSPIRATION: Jacki Shea, a professional angler and fitness enthusiast with a massive social media following, could find plenty of fitness accessories but none that had fun patterns reflecting her interests. In addition to their cool, colorful, fishing-inspired looks, her Booty Bands come in a variety of resistance levels and are printed on a durable material with rubber lining to prevent sliding while exercising. “One of my favorite exercises to do with the band is a basic squat,” Shea says. “Not only does the band add extra challenge to the simple squat exercise, it also helps improve form to prevent injury.” (jackisheashop.com)

THE BRAINCHILD: Bug-Off Lotion Bar

THE CREATOR: Paula Cancino, Jupiter

THE INSPIRATION: Tired of spraying toxic bug sprays on her two daughters, Cancino decided to experiment by adding natural repellant to the zero-waste lotion bars she was already making through her small business. She used high-quality organic ingredients and pure essential oils that repel bugs naturally and created BugOff, a lotion bar you simply warm in your hands or rub directly on your body to avoid getting bit. “An added benefit to my Bug-Off lotion bar is that you get to repel and moisturize at the same time,” Cancino says.

MINDFULNESS

Rainbow Connection

Tim Quinn is known for his skills as a celebrity makeup artist, but these days he’s highlight ing the important duality of inner and outer beauty with Halo42, the Boca Raton-based skin care company he co-founded with Mark Turnipseed, a former fitness professional and mental health counselor. One of the innovative aspects of Halo42 products is the use of copaiba, a CBD alternative that is derived from trees in South America. Here, Quinn and Turnipseed share their thoughts on the definition of beauty and the story behind Halo42.

PBI: Why do you two make a great partnership?

Mark Turnipseed: I had recovered from a complete state of hopelessness in suicidal addiction and noticed my rainbow through mindful self-care. When I shared this process with Tim by coaching him for a few months, and he received the benefits, he noticed what had been missing in the beauty world that he had worked in for so long.

How did you choose the name?

Tim Quinn: An upside-down rainbow is part of the halo family of rainbows and it’s only visible at 42 degrees. In Mark’s story of addiction recovery, and for many others facing their own challenges with seeing beauty, a slight shift of perspective— through mindful application of our product and its

underlying ingredient’s effect on mental health—is really all you need to see your beauty and help you to accept yourself so that you can accept others, and ultimately embody beauty.

What makes Halo42 products unique?

Quinn: It turns out that early in his recovery, Mark started taking copaiba orally for mood and inflammation. Little did he know that this essential oil from Brazil was actually first used as a beauty product by the tribespeople of the Amazon. When we learned this, it became obvious: Copaiba could help Halo42 to bridge the gap between mental health and beauty while also introducing a profound ingredient to the developed nations.

Turnipseed: Copaiba can help with depression and anxiety. Sulfur, in our masks, can help to pull out negative emotions while also extracting toxins from the skin. Our products help people to connect deeper with their mental and emotional state. If a person also begins to use the products mindfully, then they will be able to fully experience the glow and hope that Halo42 represents.

How are you leveraging Halo42 to speak to important causes?

Quinn: As a cancer survivor and champion of the Look Good Feel Better Foundation, a partnership with LGFB made sense, as they share our focus on self-esteem and wellness. Their program offers complimentary group and virtual sessions that teach beauty techniques to help people with cancer face their diagnosis with greater confidence.

Halo42 products are available in-store at One Door North in Delray Beach and online at halo42.com.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE HOTTEST HAPPENINGS THIS MONTH

DOUBLE VISIONS

The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach will soon overhaul its galleries to showcase two sprawl ing exhibitions representing scales of innovation from pioneering perspectives. The first, “A Personal View on High Fashion and Street Style: Photographs from the Nicola Erni Collection, 1930s to Now” runs October 8 to February 12. The other, “Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature,” will be on display October 15 to January 15.

The former’s debut at the Norton marks its first time on view to the public. It features 300 works of photography by more than 100 trailblazing fashion photographers from around the world, includ ing Cecil Beaton, Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Helen Levitt, Vivian Maier, Amy Arbus, Cindy Sherman, Tommy Ton, Nadine Ijewere, Albert Watson, and Esther Haase. The exhi bition pays homage to the evolution of fashion and street-style pho tography as an essential art form, covering its origins in the 1930s, the complex dichotomy of the fashion

movements of the 1950s and 1960s, and the emergence of street-style photography in the 1980s.

“Joseph Stella: Visionary Nature” will showcase 90 paintings and works on paper by the legend ary American modernist, from small-scale botanical renderings to larger allegorical paintings, all tying in Stella’s reverence and eye for capturing the natural world. The exhibition will honor the artist’s bold, evolving approach and his extensive body of work.

The exhibitions are included with museum admission, which is free for members and $5 to $18 for nonmem bers. (norton.org) –Abigail Duffy

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

Arts Garage in Delray Beach will host the world premiere of Boston-born, Miami Beach–based Mo Beasley’s spoken-word theater experience, Ferocious Love: A Black Man’s Journey to Manhood, October 8. Bea sley is a Renaissance man in his own right, making prolific marks in performance poetry, activism, public speaking, and arts education. His stage presence is that of a great orator, expertly embodying one of humankind’s purest and oldest art forms: storytelling. The poet’s one-man show is a celebration of love captured in a candid “journey back to what you’ve been running from.” This journey is woven into an evocative, poignant story about coming of age as a Black man in 1980s America, tackling issues of class and familial dysfunction while honoring “the roots that grew [him] up” and the people who impacted and protected him along the way. Tickets are $35. (artsgarage.org) A.D.

Flagler Museum Fall Exhibition

The Story of Whitehall: 120 Years in the Making

October 11 – December 31, 2022

In celebration of Whitehall’s 120th anniversary, the Flagler Museum’s Fall Exhibition will tell the story of the many lives of Whitehall, as a home, a club, a hotel, and a museum.

The story of Whitehall over the last 120 years is a story of the people and events critical to its metamorphosis from a grand vision for an amazing private home, in what was then one of the more remote locations in America, to a commercial property that eventually fell out of favor, to a near brush with total destruction, and finally to one of America’s great house museums and a National Historic Landmark visited by my millions from all over the world.

Hundreds of objects and photographs drawn from the Museum’s extensive archives and collections will reveal the meaning expressed through Whitehall’s rich symbolism, the advanced technology incorporated into the home that put it at the forefront of domestic living at that time in history, despite its remote location, and the many special decorative features found only at Whitehall.

LAST WORD

What influenced you to branch out into home design?

I have always been interested in interior design. It was some thing my mother introduced me to when I was young. We were always reupholstering sofas and chairs and adding drapery all over our house, so that was fun for me to watch growing up.

Describe your new furniture collection.

I wanted this collection to feel modern and stylish, just like one of my dresses. [The pieces] have an element of statement and sculpture, which was so impor tant to me. I wanted them to feel special and not just be functional chairs that take up space. They also have vintage references from the ’60s and ’70s, which are my favorite eras in furniture design.

Who or what has been your greatest inspiration when designing the collection?

I really design for my custom ers and people [who] love my clothes. I want it to be a full Siriano lifestyle. I want our chic clients to be wearing a fabulous Siriano dress, lying in a beautifully designed Siriano room.

How do you feel the worlds of fash ion and interior design intersect? They are so similar in a lot of ways. We have a client and start with an

inspiration just like I would when I create a dress. Then we get into fabrics and silhouettes for a room.

It’s really a similar process for both. I have even been using interior fabrics for clothes and clothing fabrics for interior projects. It is so fun to try and do things differently.

I think that’s why clients are com ing to me. I bring a new perspec tive to this world of interiors.

You’ve had many showstopping red-carpet moments. What’s the one piece from the furniture col lection that will make a statement in any room?

I think our Lola settee is one of the most exciting pieces in a room, but our Lula chair has become the most popular.

What’s next for the Christian Siriano brand?

REAL TALK WITH...

Christian Siriano

The acclaimed designer known for bold runway moments and size inclusivity dishes on his new furniture collection

We have so many exciting projects in the works. My large exhibition of all my work over the last 15 years is on display at SCAD Fash Museum of Fashion + Film in Atlanta, which has been exciting. We just opened a new store called The Collective West in Connecti cut, and our interior business is really growing with two hotel projects in the works and a restau rant. We are just really proud that we get to work and create magical things every day.

Christian Siriano offers customers “a full Siriano lifestyle” with state ment-making fashion and furniture collections.
