Custom BUILT
“Having a custom-built home was something
that I’ve wanted to do for a long time,” said
Chris. “I first discovered my passion for
decorating when we started having children.
Decorating their rooms was a creative outlet for
me, and I really like it. Since then, I’ve wanted to
build a home.”
For the last 14 years, the Martins lived in an
older home in East Memphis.
“I was constantly changing it, from the floors
up. I like staying up-to-date with new products.
At some point, we realized that we had done all
that we could do to change and update our East
Memphis home. That was the signal that it was
time to start again. But this time, we wanted to
build our home, not just renovate it,” Chris said.

When asked if she had any concerns about building a cus-tom home, Chris said no, she didn’t feel hesitant at all. Her husband’s only concern was if they could stay within their budget and not overbuild.
Those concerns were quickly alleviated when they began working with Darin Halford as their builder. Halford, who started his own company, Darin K. Halford Builder 17 years ago, had the experience to understand how to take the couple through the custom build process.
“It is so personalized, every client has their own style and taste. I have to be able to meet all of their expectations, know-ing that preferences change widely from one customer to another,” said Halford.
Being easy to get along with is certainly a plus, but both builder and client agree, things move ahead quicker when the client can be decisive and has a clear vision of what they want.
11MAY · JUNE 2015 |
For the Martins, that vision included a very open floor plan with lots of windows and hardwood floors. Not just any hardwood floors — Chris was dead set on having 7-inch wide wood plank floors. This dimension is much wider than standard hardwood floors and requires additional work to ensure they won’t buckle after they are set. That acclimation added an extra six weeks to the overall building process, but the Martins could not be more pleased with the results.
“Those floors stand out. They are really beautiful and are the first thing that most people comment on when they come to our home. We stained them their natural color and love the variation in the wood,” said Chris.
Halford added, “The Martins did not have a desire to have a certain look, a certain bathroom, etc. They were more focused on the common areas where they would be together as a fam-ily with their three children, like the kitchen and the den.”
12 | MAY · JUNE 2015
Chris continued, “We started with a simple loor plan and a goal of having all of the views center on the swimming pool and the backyard. It gives a very relaxed feel to the home. We splurged on a few things, like top-of-the-line Thermador kitchen appliances. ... Future resale was a consideration, so we kept that in mind to help us stay in budget.”
Ofering a step-by-step general outline, Halford worked with the Martins to achieve their dream home.
First, they had to ind a prop-erty that suited their needs and their house design. Then, Halford consulted with the couple to learn how they wanted the house to it their needs. After that, it was time to hire an architect. Next, the con-versation turned to pricing — what were their tastes and how did they want to spend the bulk of their budget (e.g., high-end items like a pool, appliances, etc.). Now it was time to make decisions, selecting cabinets, countertops, colors, loor-
ing, bath ixtures, lighting ixtures, windows, brick, rooing and paint.
When asked if supplies and products are more diicult to lo-cate for a custom build, Halford said he inds everything is readily available locally. He works with Ferguson for appliances, lighting and plumbing ixtures and is able to have selected items available in a couple of weeks.
“It’s hard for most people to look at a set of blueprints and under-stand exactly how the end prod-uct is going to look. Usually, during the framing, people start making changes and minor modiications. For me, as a builder, the process be-comes constantly managing difer-ent subcontractors and tradesmen to ensure quality control,” Halford said. “The inal step is completing the last details and inishes.”
When asked if they would do it again, Chris said, “I would so do it again! I loved picking out ev-erything and the way it all came together. It turned out great. I wouldn’t change a thing!”

PROS WHO KNOW
When it comes to home renovations, kitch-
ens are usually one of the last rooms to
receive an overhaul, said Eileen Henry,
a designer with Kitchens Unlimited.
With new counter tops, cabinets, flooring and light-
ing fixtures, renovation costs can add up quickly, and,
Henry said, renovating your kitchen can be a daunting
task. So, before you decide to pitch out your dated
counter tops and cabinets, here are some helpful tips
on creating your dream kitchen.
Kitchenconundrum
Choose a designerq
The designer is the person who will take your ideas
and turn them to reality, so picking the right person is
key. “First and foremost, seek out a qualified kitchen
designer. At Kitchens Unlimited, we’re not only design-
ers but we’re also licensed contractors.”
How will you use your kitchen?q
Before renovations begin, it’s important to know how
you plan on using the space. How often do you plan
on eating in your kitchen? How many people will be
cooking meals? “The more we know about the client
and how they live, it helps us guide them to the differ-
ent companies we carry,” Henry said.
Pick a style, any styleq
Only you know which kitchen style fits you and your
family best. Henry advised homeowners to go online
and look at pictures of kitchens that appeal to them.
Some of the hottest trends continue to be granite or
quartz countertops, while concrete counters are also
gaining popularity.
Set your budgetq
Know how much you are willing to spend. “It’s very
important to have some budget from the beginning.
It has to be talked about up front,” Henry said. “Also,
have a realistic idea about the time frame it will take
to do the kitchen remodel.”

FunctionalPROS WHO KNOW
Do you homeworkq
“Research on the Internet — research the styles,
colors and trends. All markets will vary, but in this
market, it’s casual, transitional style with neutral
colors with splashes of pastel.”
Know the space you’re working withq
“Size really does matter. You don’t want your fur-
niture to overpower your room. Sometimes people
don’t come with the measurements of the room. If
you bring measurement to the store, the customer
can communicate with the sales person and they
can help you buy furniture that’s the right size for
the room. It helps the associates.”
Furnishing your home isn’t always easy. With a variety of furniture stores and a nearly-endless selection
of couches, chairs or tables, picking out the perfect piece for your home can be a challenge.
But before you buy, Ron Becker with Great American Home Store shared four tips on how to select
the right furniture for you and your family.
Choose the right furniture storeq
“Choose carefully who you do business with. Do
business with a local retailer or a brick-and-mortar
company in the community. Try to buy from local
people who are good stewards in your community.”
Cost versus valueq
“Understand the difference between price and
value. In today’s industry, we can make anything
look identical to the other. Ask what’s the difference.
Is it the quality of fabric, foam or quality of construc-
tion? Do homework, ask questions. You shouldn’t
buy on price alone.”

As temperatures warm, more
homeowners are seeking
fun and functional ways to
reinvent outdoor spaces.
“Outdoor living has really stepped
up its game lately,” said Michael
Christie, whose family-owned busi-
ness, Christie Cut Stone Company,
provides a variety of natural stones
and bricks for indoor and outdoor proj-
ects. “People are moving beyond the
standard swimming pool and adding
outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces,
pizza ovens — they want it all.” If you’re
thinking of creating your own outdoor
oasis, Christie offers these tips:
Outdoor living
Set your budgetq
“You can get the same thing built with the same
square footage and same structure for ‘X amount’
or you could spend three times more,” Christie said.
“It all depends on the materials you pick.” Knowing in
advance what you’re willing to spend will save you
time during the purchasing process.
Get materialisticq
The color and style of the materials you choose are the
most important decisions you’ll make, so ask yourself
these questions: Do you want modern and trendy or
a more traditional feel? Which colors will complement
the existing stone or brick work on your home? Christie
said lighter shades and bluestone are trending this
year, while the more economical Arkansas Fieldstone
has a timeless quality. Brick also is an excellent choice.
Have a visionq
Photos, floor plans or even rough sketches are the most
effective tools for helping a cut stone supplier make your
patio, porch or paving dreams a reality. There are a wealth
of inspirational ideas on websites such as Pinterest and
Houzz, and Christie said many of his customers use them to
find photos that illustrate their design aspirations.
Put your project in the right handsq
Christie said about 50 percent of his customers
already have a contractor or mason in mind when
they come in to select their materials. But if not, it’s no
problem; he’ll suggest a great one. “We can definitely
steer people in the right direction and say, ‘Here’s the
right product and here’s the right person for the job.’”

If you’re thinking about giving your yard a major
makeover and adding some color, shade and sce-
nic details, landscape professional Jason Budin-
sky, owner of Summit Landscapes, offers the
following tips:
ScenicsettingsA good consultant is key q
“A good landscape designer will do a lot more lis-
tening during the initial consultation than talking,”
Budinsky said. “We’ll want to hear about your goals for
your space, ... things you like and, just as important,
things you don’t like.” He said most people in Memphis
are looking for low-maintenance, attractive, shady
spaces for outdoor enjoyment.
Communication is keyq
Budinsky said he can’t stress enough the impor-
tance of communication throughout the landscape
design process. “For instance, people are often reluc-
tant to give an initial budget because they’re afraid a
contractor is going to spend every penny,” he said.
“But just figure out what you’re comfortable investing
in your property and tell us. That way, we won’t design
something way out of your budget.”
Think aheadq
If you’re planning a phased landscape renovation
over a period of several years, be sure to discuss
your long-term plans up front. That way a landscape
architect can still create a road map to get you to your
ultimate design destination.
Prepare for some chaosq
“When a project starts, there will be machines tearing
things down and digging things up. Sometimes people
get stressed out,” Budinsky said. “It’s always going to
look worse before it looks better. Just take a deep breath
and know it will be great when it’s finished.”

ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Just eight months ago,
native Memphian and emerging artist Rachel Ford, 26, launched her home decor business, Nitty
gritty, from her garage. It all came to-gether for Ford when her hobby and creative outlet turned into a career.
“I had an ‘Aha!’ moment. I had been making gifts for friends and family, monogrammed items for baby showers, paintings and name plaques. I started getting requests for customized items. As the orders con-tinued to come in, I realized I could make a business from this work that I loved,” Ford said.
“I was looking for a unique medi-um and became inspired by things I saw in architectural magazines. I love the industrial chic look and wanted to make something that had clean lines in a simple look,” Ford added. “I chose reclaimed wood as my canvas because I prefer the character of weathered wood that comes with age. About half of my labor is spent looking for materials. The wood is disinfected and cleaned, then cut with a miter saw and a table saw, followed by sanding with a plan-er and a hand sander. The designs are then painted in acrylic, and some are accented with gold leaf.”
Going back to Ford’s organic be-ginnings, her father was a general handyman and used to “lip” houses. According to Ford, he did a lot of the wood work (i.e., cabinets and mold-ings) himself. Hoping to encour-age her sense of self-suiciency, he taught her everything she knows about power tools — and made sure she wasn’t afraid to use them.
Ford’s family had other inluenc-es that contributed to her artistic choices. Her maternal grandmother
was a proicient quilt-maker in East Tennessee. Many of the geometric shapes Ford recalls in her grand-mother’s Appalachian-patterned quilts have found their way onto Ford’s wooden canvasses, as images from nature are overlaid with geo-metric shapes.
Nature themes were prevalent at her irst solo show, held March 26 at Phillip Ashley Chocolates on Cooper Street in Midtown. A percentage of her proceeds were donated to the Tennessee Wildlife Federation. She has developed a Memphis-themed series, too, that features many area landmarks. Other popular orders are for monograms and pet silhouettes. Most items are priced at $150 or less.
“Making my art my career was ter-rifying at irst,” Ford said. “It took a few months to get on my feet — but it was completely worth it.”
Ford’s original project was a “States” series, but not wanting to re-peat herself, every piece now is one-of-a-kind. Many initial orders were from friends who were getting their irst homes and developing their per-
sonal styles. Her circle of contacts expanded through word-of-mouth.
Ford shared her advice to others who are considering launching their own business.
“Be prepared,” she said. “Have some backup capital because it is easy to follow your heart, but you have to make sure that your wallet can back it up. If you really believe in what you’re doing, if you love it, then it becomes your passion and that fuels your eforts.”
Ford accepts custom orders through the Nitty Gritty page on Facebook, and her website is cur-rently under construction. Her turn-around time for orders is about three weeks.
As for continuing to grow her busi-ness, Ford hopes to open a small re-tail shop in Midtown that will feature her art, as well as works by other lo-cal artisans.
“I’m so happy to have found my niche and I’d like to bring others into a collective place that truly nurtures the local art scene as a whole,” Ford said.

Recipes by Sarah Matheny Gordon
The arrival of summer in Memphis means it’s time for lighter, healthier meals. The best summer dishes
come together quickly, require little stovetop cooking, and take advantage of excellent locally-grown produce. Quinoa salad is the perfect dish to serve and eat this time of year. Qui-noa salads are healthy and light, yet satisfying. They are robust enough to be a stand-alone lunch entrée or a standout side to grilled fish or meat. Quinoa salads are easy and quick to prepare and are endlessly customiz-able to personal taste.
This recipe for red quinoa and avo-cado salad with sweet corn and to-
matoes has a Mexican-inspired taste profile, but swap out a few ingredi-ents and the flavor profile totally changes. For instance, use cucum-ber, tomatoes, black olives and mint for a Greek-inspired quinoa salad. Use this recipe as a guide to create a custom signature dish. Be sure to include fresh, ripe produce, any type of citrus juice, any type of vinegar — red wine, white wine, sherry, rice, apple cider — and one or two fresh chopped herbs
For home cooks unfamiliar with quinoa, it will quickly become a go-to ingredient. Quinoa is a tasty, healthy grain and is simple to pre-pare. It keeps in the pantry and cooks with just boiling water, similar
to rice or grits. This versatile grain is a good source of dietary fiber and a cholesterol-free source of protein. It is perfect for vegetarian and gluten-free.
Serve this red quinoa salad with sweet corn and avocado as a side dish at your next backyard barbecue or block party and it will be an in-stant hit with friends and family. Or, try it as a light lunch accompanied by a traditional margarita. Its fresh flavors pair delightfully with the bright, balanced flavor of this mar-garita recipe. It is strong but not too sour and not too sweet. The recipe here for a basic traditional margarita can be customized into a flavored frozen margarita.

Summer
Basic Margarita Recipe
This recipe makes four, strong, traditional margaritas
served on the rocks. It is important to stir the mixture
thoroughly with ice until the pitcher is frosty. Custom-
ize this recipe to make frozen or flavored margaritas
using a blender and frozen or fresh, ripe berries.
INGREDIENTS
½ cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
¼ cup fresh-squeezed lime juice (about 2 limes)
1 lime cut into wedges
¼ cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (about 1 orange)
1 cup triple sec
1 cup good Reposado tequila
4 cups ice cubes
¼ cups kosher salt or margarita salt
Pour kosher salt into a saucer larger
than the diameter of the margarita
glasses. Use a wedge of lime to sweep
around the rim of four margarita
glasses, then dip the rims into
the salt.
In a pitcher, combine citrus
juices, triple sec and tequila.
Add 2 cups of ice to the pitcher
and divide remaining 2 cups among four margarita glasses.
Stir the mixture vigorously for 2-3 minutes until the pitcher
is frosty on the outside and most of the ice is melted. Pour
the margaritas into the four glasses, garnish with a wedge
of lime and enjoy!
Prefer frozen?
To make frozen flavored margaritas, substitute frozen
berries for the 4 cups ice, add ½ cup simple syrup, and
blend until smooth. Or, use 2 cups fresh, ripe berries,
2 cups ice, and ½ cup simple syrup. This variation will make
six margaritas.

Red Quinoa and Avocado Salad with Sweet Corn and Tomato
HOSPITALITY FIX
Red quinoa and avocado salad with sweet corn and
tomatoes calls for seasonal ingredients grown in
abundance in the Mid-South. Avoid the tasteless,
mealy tomatoes found in supermarkets and opt for
fresh, ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Fresh corn is best,
but fresh-frozen corn kernels, thawed, may be sub-
stituted. For even more flavor, use kernels cut from
grilled corn.
1 cup red quinoa
2 whole avocados, pitted, halved lengthwise
1 cup cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup ripe grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 ½ cups sweet corn kernels (from 2-3 cobs)
½ cup thinly-sliced green onions, white and
light green parts only
¼ cup fresh lemon juice (1-2 lemons)
3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon white sugar
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cook red quinoa according to package instructions. Place in a
large heatproof bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
Add corn cobs to a large pot of heavily-salted boiling water
and cook for 4 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice-cold water
to stop cooking. Once cobs are fully cooled, use a knife to cut
vertical strips of kernels from the cob. Cut avocado halves into
½-inch dice. Use a spoon to scoop pieces out of the hull.
To the quinoa, add cilantro, tomatoes, sweet corn and green
onions. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix until well-
combined. In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, red
wine vinegar and sugar until sugar is dissolved. Pour over
mixture and toss to coat. Drizzle the mixture with olive oil and
toss again. Add avocado and toss gently. Serve immediately at
room temperature or refrigerate and serve chilled.
