The Chef's Garden: A Very Unusual Family Farm in Ohio
Farm Visit
It's Farm Week at The Kitchn, so I'm bringing back my favorite farm visit of all time: The Chef's Garden in Huron, Ohio. Farmer Jones and the rest of the Jones family found some smart, creative ways to revitalize their family farm and offer something special — take a look! - Faith
The Chef's Garden is a company that has mastered the drama of vegetables. On my recent visit to this utterly unique Ohio farm, spectacles of vegetables and herbs paraded by. Some of these were tableaux constructed for our benefit, as our hosts led us to tables bristling with parsnips' tails and striped beets and placed sheafs of brilliant miniature herbs in our hands.
Others were simply part of the landscape: I saw petite fields of tiny greens, bare days old and vibrant as golf course grass, sheared in handfuls by careful workers. I saw popcorn shoots smaller than my pinkie, growing pale banana yellow in a pitch-black greenhouse.
As you can see, The Chef's Garden is no ordinary farm. Come and see how they transformed their story from the tragic yet commonplace tale of a failing family farm into an endeavor so creative and unique that its influence has pervaded the way American chefs put food on our plates.
A Family Farm — Reinvented
Thirty years ago, The Chef's Garden would have raised no eyebrows. Farmer Bob Jones and his sons Bobby and Lee grew soybeans and corn, just like their neighbors in Huron, Ohio, a small town west of Cleveland and two miles from Lake Erie. But in 1983 a crop failure forced them into bankruptcy and beyond. They lost the farm and had to sell everything, down to the family car.
But at a moment when other farmers would have given up and moved to the city, the Jones family made a new start with land they managed to lease (it's across the road from their old land). They decided to give up on conventional farming and explore new ways of making farming work for them.
Huron has lake bottom land and a mild, unexpectedly good microclimate for farming; in fact, the very first winery in the United States was established in Huron. (We forget, now that so much of this country's agriculture has moved to California, but the Great Lakes and the Midwest are still agricultural powerhouses.) The Jones family did not want to give up their connection to this place.
Their efforts took a sharp turn early on when a local chef asked them for squash blossoms. These were virtually unknown in the commercial market at the time, and the Jones family discovered that they weren't the only interesting exotic crop to interest chefs. They decided to listen to chefs and hear what they wanted.
This led the family to tiny microgreens, infant versions of herbs and lettuces, intense in flavor and with beautifully dramatic colors and shapes. Chefs went wild over these, which clinched it for the Jones. They gave up conventional agriculture altogether in order to become a resource for chefs and to cater exclusively to their needs. In the process, they completely reinvented their family farm.
All Natural, Totally Novel
I visited The Chef's Garden a month ago, and over coffee and bagels, Farmer Lee Jones, Bob's son and the bow-tie-sporting company spokesman, explained their business and their perspective. "We can't compete on the commodity market," he said. "But we offer eight stages of bok choy, from micro-greens to flowers to petite and baby varieties. Every stage of a plant's life offers something unique to the plate." At any given time they are growing hundreds of varieties of crops, offering 185 kinds of herbs and over 200 sorts of microgreens year-round.
The global roster of chefs who value these novelties now numbers over 450, and they are located all over the world. Chef Charlie Trotter was an early fan and promoter of the Jones' work, and today their office hallway is lined with photos of the farmers with chefs like Julia Child, Thomas Keller, and Grant Achatz.
The Chef's Garden has perhaps the most unique lineup of product offerings from any farm in the world, and they are constantly developing new ways of looking at familiar vegetables, creating fresh, exotic novelties grown from otherwise mundane crops like corn, basil, and cucumbers.
During my tour I crunched into a tiny cucumelon that looked like a gnocchi-sized watermelon, but was filled with crispy cucumber flesh and gel. I saw hot pink and maroon tails of baby amaranth and tasted garlic sprouts that looked like bean threads. Every single one of these things exploded in the mouth, creating new possibilities — I wanted to experiment! You can see why chefs love the place.
Healthy Soil, Healthy Crops, Healthy People
The truly interesting thing about The Chef's Garden, especially for the home cook, is the way that this commercial farm approaches agriculture. It is one thing for a small truck farm to go organic and to value sustainable principles, but it is even more encouraging to see a farm of this modest yet commercial size do a radically different kind of farming.
"We are trying to recapture the pre-chemical farm," says Farmer Lee Jones. "We are trying to work in harmony with nature." He and his father have strong feelings about the way that the soil has been treated for the last 50 years of American agriculture.
"There's not enough nutrition in the soil," says Jones. "Healthy soil means healthy crops and healthy people. We have 300 acres and only farm 100 at a time." The rest of the time, these acres rest and rebuild themselves under cover crops and green manure created from the farm's waste. No animal manure is used at all on their fields.
"You can see dramatically how healthy soil affects things like shelf life and antioxidant levels in plants," says Jones, as he describes the lab analysis they do on their crops. "It's unbelievable." They even strip the chlorine out of their water before spraying it on the fields, since they believe that it kills beneficial organisms as well as good ones.
Working Smarter
Along with these environmental values also comes a commitment to a different kind of workforce. The Jones have a relationship with a group of workers in Mexico, and they fly them up for several peak months, paying good wages and health insurance. They have student exchange programs, where interns can learn how they farm.
These high principles are supported, in part, by Farmer Bob's self-trained engineering skills. Forgoing chemicals on a farm is a very labor-intensive proposition. They decided to put time and effort into working smarter, not just working harder. So the farm is full of clever experiments, like an old combine modified so that half a dozen workers can lie on their stomachs and be slowly towed through a field, pulling weeds. There's a boombox on the combine too, naturally.
Other innovations have gone towards making the farm more energy-efficient. One example: They recapture the heat from their generator and use it to heat water underneath the greenhouses. Everywhere you turn on this farm, you see evidence of people thinking, working hard with limited resources, being creative.
"We've made plenty of mistakes," says Jones. "So many mistakes!" But they have learned how to identify what works, and how to delicately balance their principles with the labor of making a living as a family farm in the 21st centry.
I could go on for a long time about all the other things The Chef's Garden is doing: Their educational nonprofit that puts gardening curriculum in schools, or the way they reach out to chefs. They have an entire center on the farm devoted to research and development; over 500 chefs a year come through to learn and explore. The day I was there I went through this tour with several chefs from the MGM in Las Vegas, and it was fascinating to hear their perspective as they saw where their food came from.
But I will leave you with this, for now: While there is no perfect farming system out there, and while The Chef's Garden is doing something very different from your average family farm, it lit me up to the possibilities of agriculture. It offers the excitement of creative thinking, simple yet smart solutions and ideas put into practice by real people who live not too far away. I'll be watching what the The Chef's Garden does, and closely. No matter what, it promises to be interesting.

The place looks amazing, but are you telling me they are eating celosia flowers?
@andreainmaine, yep, they are edible. Although I am sure that they are generally used as garnishes; I wonder how often these chefs' guests actually eat them?
What an awesome farm tour! Those tiny cucumelons look like Mexican sour gherkins - I grew some this summer on my balcony and at our community garden (I bought seeds from Seed Savers Exchange). They're really easy to grow - the smaller they are when you eat them, the more sour they are!
This is so cool!! I love their entire approach, and it is no wonder specialty chefs caught on to this farm's value. I would love to tour this place! I just went on a farm tour here in Charlotte, NC, to learn more about where our food comes from and who produces it, and was going to post my experience on my blog - I will definitely be adding the link to this article.
What a great story!
This was a very good piece to read today, thank you for writing it!
I usually come here for how-to's, recipes and the like, but would love to see more posts like this. Yay, Ohio!!
Wow, thanks for taking the time to do this tour and write it up.
Nearly in my backyard. Our favorite restaurant in Vermilion buys their produce from them, Check out their web site, you can buy a box of produce either one-time, or monthly program. Along side their culinary institute programs and restaurant with a visiting chef once a month, Our local TV station did an hour long show on the farm and was excellent.
Thank you for posting this. As a gardener myself, this produce is inspiring to see.
What a wonderful article about a wonderful farm. It's so inspirational -- I would love to visit.
The hotel I work for in central Ohio has gotten a lot of produce from them this summer. Oh, their heirloom cherry tomatoes are so beautiful, and I loved getting edible flowers to garnish my salads.
This is an awesome post--love it, and would love to see more posts like this in the future. If they can do it on such a large scale... we should all be able to grow at least some of our own food sustainably in our own yards, right?!
what an inspiration! I just bought some heirloom seeds... guess what I'm going to be doing on the weekend!
really great stuff. I would love to know how to garden myself. Do you give classes
What a very unique way to stand out from the crowd and really provide what chef's want! Love it!

- Top tier piece of gear!
- Rating
This product is worth every dime. I recently received mine in waved canvas and the craftsmanship is unbeatable. This roll will literally last you the rest your life!
Ultra heavy duty, well designed and thought out, and supremely well crafted. A tad on the heavy side, so I don't suggest it for lighter people or for light or ultralight backpackers. Would be perfect for mounted expeditions or for vehicle camping.
Or, if you're old fashioned like me, it's worth the extra weight to have a sleeping system/ Bivvy sack/ rain tarp/ lean-to/ all-in-one campsite on you pack!
In warm climate, you can run it without any sleeping system inside, just you and the canvas. Mine has straps long enough to add in an inflatable mat inside the mat compartment as well as a US Army wool blanket, though it's a little on the worn thin side. It still rolls and straps to the bottom of my pack.
Overall, excellent product, would recommend(actually did) to friends and family.

This is a fantastic product. The only suggestion I have is to offer extension straps on the web site. I use this with a pad and a -30 sleeping bag. The straps just won't reach. I could rig it with some small belts but I would prefer them to match the factory straps.

- One of the best pieces of gear to have.
- Rating
This is a wonderful piece of gear. It is a rock solid shelter system in and of itself. This is the only bedroll that I'm aware of that makes provision for using something as your pillow -- and keeps it in a zippered pocket so it doesn't squish out -- and keep your sleeping pad in with you so you don't wake up cold, laying next to your pad after rolling off of it.
In warmer months, you'd need to take nothing but this with you. In cooler months a woobie or wool blanket will work, and there's room for a sleeping bag in really cold temps. This is definitely on my "don't ever leave behind" gear list.
Only downside is that if you count ounces, this won't be for you.

- The way everything in America used to be made.
- Rating
Even though I measured my sleeping bag prior to ordering, it still sticks out of the short bedroll when unrolled. Next time around, I'd get the long size. The full length pad pocket is a smart idea, but with a pad in it, even the thin blue closed cell foam type, the tie straps will not reach all the way around and buckle. Nor would it roll and tie with a fiber fill sleeping bag in the bedroll. It will however buckle with one wool blanket and a rectangular poly bag liner zipped inside the bedroll. And I'm sure a down bag would roll up and tie. While neither of these points is a deal breaker, it does sort of defeat the purpose of having an all inclusive system if you have to put it together in the field. That being said, and I've been putting gear to the test in the field for over 30 years, I am looking forward to owning and using this obviously well made product. Just based on my inspecting this item, I will be ordering one of your packs. Well done.

- Now a standard piece of equipment on my list.

The Duluth Bedroll appeared to be the best in my search for a suitable, all-round, cowboy bedroll. Turns out after five nights on the trail in the Big Horn Mountains of Wyoming that the product lives up to what I believed to be its merits. The bedroll was warm, kept me dry, and I appreciated the features. The bottom pocket kept the sleeping pad under me through the night; the dual, two-way zippers that allowed me easy access to the top compartment proved most convenient; the pillow compartment was a bonus that worked perfectly. I added a light weight fleece bag in the top compartment of the bedroll and stayed warm in temperatures down to 40 degrees F. I could not be more pleased.

Source Notes: Civilization and Its Discontents, 1931
Sigmund Freud (May 6, 1856 - September 23, 1939) was an Austrian neuroscientist who left the laboratory to go into private practice as a neurologist. He founded the clinical and theoretical school of psychoanalysis which holds that human development progresses through a sequence of psychosexual stages which may be interfered with by internalized psychosocial conflicts. To cope with intrapsychic conflict the unconscious mind initiates a defensive process called repression in order to prevent unacceptable sexual and aggressive wishes from becoming conscious, however they remain active in the unconscious and continue to strive for expression. Most commonly, benign evidence of repressed contents can be seen in dreams, jokes, and various Freudian slips. When the mind has to cope with a serious failure of defensive repression, we see the development of symptom constellations called neurosis, which can be treated by bringing the repressed wishes fully and safely into consciousness and releasing the associated pent up emotional accumulation. Freud sought to accomplish this in the privacy and safety of the treatment situation.

The news that former Xbox chief Don Mattrick was leaving Microsoft to help revive the social gaming company Zynga has people wondering if Steven Spielberg will stick with Microsoft's planned TV series based on the video game Halo.
The Halo series will, of course, proceed without Mattrick, but given that Mattrick's close relationship with Spielberg was key in signing the deal, one has to wonder whether new snags might arise now that he's gone.

Why? Because the ILF market is growing by leaps and bounds to include custom bowyers. The ILF system is standardized, versatile and used by a lot of different archers. Martin Archery's quality and customer service is top-notch - they would be a welcome addition!

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 19, 2009) — Unbeaten Elusive Bluff will try to overcome an eight-month layoff under high weight of 118 pounds as he seeks his third victory Sunday in the $100,000 Cinema Handicap at Hollywood Park.
Elusive Bluff, sidelined by a minor injury prior to last fall's Breeders' Cup Juvenile, broke his maiden at one mile on turf before winning the Grade III Pilgrim on a yielding turf course at Belmont Park in October.
Michael Baze, who rode the son of Elusive Quality in the Pilgrim, has the mount in the 1 1/8-mile Cinema, which has drawn a field of eight. The Grade III event lines up as follows from the rail out:
Massone, with Garrett Gomez up, will carry 116 pounds; Dover Street Art, Tyler Baze, 113; Flashmans Papers, Brice Blanc, 116; Elusive Bluff, Michael Baze, 118; Herr Mozart, Victor Espinoza, 114; Arden Park, Rafael Bejarano, 116; Oil Man, Joel Rosario, 115, and Arcodoro, Joseph Talamo, 109.
Elusive Bluff, owned by Southern Equine Stable and trained by Eric Guillot, has been training steadily at Hollywood Park for his Southern California debut. His connections also entered maiden Arcodoro, a son of Medaglia d'Oro who showed much improvement when finishing second after leading most of the way last outing in his turf debut.
While Elusive Bluff will be looking for his third straight win, Espinoza will be attempting to win the Cinema for the third consecutive year aboard Bob Baffert-trained Herr Mozart. He connected on Wordly in 2007 and Tiz West in 2008. Herr Mozart has been sharp on turf and enters following an allowance score.
Arden Park and Massone finished second and third, respectively, in the Alcatraz at 1 1/16 miles on turf in May at Golden Gate Fields. They were separated by a nose. Both get notable rider changes with two-time Eclipse Award winner Gomez taking the mount on Massone and Hollywood Park's leading rider Bejarano getting the call on Arden Park.
Oil Man, seventh on a yielding course in the Transylvania at Keeneland, bounced back to score an allowance win on turf at nine furlongs; Flashmans Papers won the Eddie Logan in December and finished second in the Baldwin, while Irish-bred Dover Street Art seeks his first U.S. win.
The 63rd running of the Cinema Handicap will go as the ninth of ten races on Sunday's program at Hollywood Park. First post is at 1 p.m.

Thx for the replies. Right now I'm lovin this Cheetah I got it sighted like this. 20 yds top pin, and 10yds for each additional pin below it. It shoots great and I'm amazed how much power it has utilizing the parallel limb design. Anyway I'm lookin forward to hog hunting to start off with before my son attempt deer.
2011 cheetah
It seems that some sights are packaged in whatever configuration is easiest to manufacture and package. I went to setup a new extreme sight the other day and I was shooting eight inches high. I started adjusting and after about four adjustments of an eventually extreme nature I was still shooting eight inches high. No movement at all. I was very perplexed and started second guessing myself. I didn't think that the sight's configuration was extremely set on one end of its spectrum. Took and moved one of the vertical housing alignment screws and extended the configuration and I was in the ball park.

"I will make My arrows drunk with blood... Deuteronomy 32:42a (HCSB)
I am an Alien, I am in this world but I am not of this world, have mercy. Tell the Truth and shame the Devil.
I am so glad I found this post about arrows hitting too low! I took my first shot with my new Martin Cheetah today and the exact same thing happened. The bow came out of the box with everything installed on it. Whisker biscuit, tru glo sight, stabilizer, peep, and D loop. Everything seemed to be perfectly centered and aligned properly. However,the hand grip was spit down the middle on the front of the riser right out of the box. Today the seller said he would send me a new grip. So I went out to try my first shot from 10 yards, using only one of the three pins set in the middle of the sight circle. The arrow went into the dirt in front of the target! I moved the sight window down in several steps about as far as it would go, but was still hitting low. Gave up for the day when it started to rain, plus the heat index was about 102! When I found this forum and the same problem, I looked at my sight a little closer, and I can see that flipping the mounting bracket would lower the sight window dramatically! Can't wait till tomorrow to try that! I think the person who assembled the bow put it on BACKWARDS! or UPSIDE DOWN or whatever you want to call it! The sight says APEX gear on it, and has a weird dogleg mounting bracket, which would make your sight window too high if mounted the wrong way! SPECS: 30" draw, 60lb, 30" axle to axle, shooting 29" arrow rated 45-70lb,2" vanes..

Hey guys! Thanks for the welcome! Sorry for the confusion on the 45lb-70lb. I was referring to the arrows I bought at Wal Mart. They have a sticker on them that says "CARBON EXACTA" #90829A.....29".... 45-70lbs. They have camo that matches the Cheetah, the full length of the arrow, but no other markings or name brand. Anybody have any info on these? There was only 6 left in the store ,And after looking at all the other choices, I bought these. Since the Cheetah is rated so fast(315-320fps) I thought the little extra rating would work just fine. I didn't want to get arrows that might be too "wimpy". Anyway, after flipping the sight mounting bracket,the sight window was right where it should of been. re centered the window, put the green pin in top position.(I like green on top, yellow in the middle, and red on bottom. ....easy shot , medium shot, hard shot.) 20-30-40 yards. First shot, 10 yards was almost perfect! (a little high). Only shot 6 times today, 10 to15 yards, but was right on the money every shot.( had to start the grill for some bar b Q chicken,with grilled pineapple slices.) Mm Mm Good! This is my first time shooting carbon arrows. Have been shooting an "old school" Browning Trophy Magnum ll. with aluminum arrows for many years, and I really like it a lot, but I wanted to try something "NEW". Got to keep the juices flowing! Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend all !!!

Lori's Layered Family Loft
House Tour
Name: Lori Weitzner, husband Mike and daughters Sophie and Emma
Location: Chelsea; New York, New York
Size: 2,200 square feet
Years lived in: 10 years owned
At first quick glance, it's all neutrals, classic choices and even a piece of oh-so-trendy typography. But spend more than a minute in the home of textile designer Lori Weitzner, her husband and two not-quite-teen daughters, and the fabrics and stories unfold, the plot thickens, and opposites definitely attract. And smack dab in the middle sits a most happy home for four.
It's a game of opposites: Modern, and not. Neutral and colorful. Old world and right now. Loft-like and homey. As curated as a museum, as collected as a magpie's nest. Everything has a counterpoint, everything has a story, and every story has at its root the kind of sentiment you'd normally only find in a Nicholas Sparks novel. While some wear their heart on their sleeve, the heart of Lori Weitzner's home is worn on shelf, chair, and through choice, gift, art and design.
That storytelling and the game of opposites start right past the front door. The entry is spare and showroom-y, with a quartet of hand-woven abaca banners in a space created and lit exactly for them, during a renovation that made the whole space specific but stopped short of "gut reno" ten years ago. So far, so serious.
But take a look back, to a scattering of magnetic letters on the door behind you, and a look ahead, to the carving that seems to sprout right from the dark rich floors, and you start to see this is a space where "family" is a serious business, too. "I love family trees of all kinds, and in the Philippines, they would do it actually as sculpture. I thought that was a nice way to then turn the corner and welcome you into our home, our ancestry." Suddenly, it seems no coincidence that there are those four banners, textile totems of sort in this home for four.
Past that buttoned-up entry, the main living space opens up with a sunny, highly livable exuberance, part downtown open-plan loft, part uptown classic enfilade.
At first, the space reads almost monochromatic. But that changes fast, with the light and the slightest attention. The colors shift like a chameleon strolling across sunlit river stones. "It moves as nature moves," says Lori of the earth-derived palette. "What may feel at first like a neutral is actually full of green and perhaps some yellow and other colors. Our colors are very nuanced and complex. They're not straightforward. I always say the best colors are the colors you can't name."
In the master bedroom, more hard-to-describe hues. "I call them whisper colors, and they're very much colors I want to be sleeping with. Very soothing, very calming, very quieting," says Lori, "and I want that in a bedroom."
The wall colors are hard to pin down, too, as they shift from ivory to the palest pistachio, just enough tint to take the white off the white box. Just don't ask Lori for the Benjamin Moore colors. All her colors were custom mixed. Lori uses a quick pour of Linen White, for example, to temper other ready-mixed colors. So, she says, the colors are "custom, but not custom-from-scratch scratch." It's no real surprise Lori is mixing her own colors. She began as a painting major and (like one of her professional textile counterparts, Pollack's Rachel Doriss), she changed her major to textile design. "I feel very lucky, because it's a commercial, viable design form that you can make a living doing, but it's very much related to fine arts."
Mike also gets credit for this palette that's hard to pick off a paint swatch. This Englishman in New York has brought his passion for antique maps to the table, literally, where part of his cartographic collection of his Cheshire homeland is displayed in the dining area. Their subtle and faded colors, misty and ethereal, fit right in to the grand scheme of things, with Lori's blessing, presented in a modern fashion. "I had to figure out how to incorporate what he loves about history and roots into a space that is contemporary, and get that push and pull there satisfied."
What Mike also loves, clearly, is Lori. On an early date, Lori told him of her grandfather's company, Weitzner Brothers Monuments, with the letters W and B the only remnants of the business lingering on its Second Avenue facade. "I told him about the W, but it wasn't a hint, it wasn't anything, it was just in conversation!" Three months later, it was presented to Lori for her birthday. In an act of romantic thievery, Mike pried the letter from the building under the cover of darkness, save for the headlights of the Jeep he had driven up on the curb. "So the W was stolen! But it was my grandfather's," she chuckles in justification, still taking obvious joy from this gift from her suitor-turned-husband. "So meaningful to me."
It's one of many objects that add depth and interest to this modern envelope. Throughout, upholstered pieces defy timestamp, like the pair of Wormley stools in a lichen-green textured fabric, or the angular tub chairs wearing a traditional-in-technique-only cut velvet. Says Lori of the larger-than-life asterisk design: "Because it's so large, and so neutral, it becomes very contemporary." Together, even just those two fabrics (both from Weitzner Limited) are a mini primer in how Lori brushes the dust of classic technique: play with scale, and use those mercurial, earthy colors. Underfoot, her rugs generally employ both tricks to accelerate age-old rug-making technique to contemporary art.
The sliding doors separating Mike's corner office-by-day, family media room by night are rarely closed, except perhaps during an especially animated game of Wii. Juxtaposed against those glass and aluminum doors is that piano, an ebonized and gilded folly that commands attention even silent. It's one of many pieces both personal and quirky, gifted or snared from auctions and antique shops. Or in this case, plucked from Lori's own family tree. It was Lori's grandmother's, passed to the youngest girl in the family. "I am a terrible piano player, and my kids are not looking to be too good, but it will never leave us, because," she says, "for me, it's sentimental and it's also beautiful."
The piano is definitely part of that running counterpoint between the desire to stay limited, lofty, curated and culled, and a collector's passions of a more ornate, layered aesthetic. Why the push and pull between minimalism and, well, maximalism?
"We came from an old house, turn-of-the-century, with nooks and crannies, and all of a sudden entered this big, high-ceilinged, light-infused loft." Like many designers who let the style of the construction help dictate its interior direction (John Eason's past tour comes to mind), Lori listened to the space. And this space, a modern conversion of a landmark building with 13-foot ceilings, told her it wanted to be modern.
"But I couldn't do totally modern cold. It needed to be warm." In the hands of Lori, there was no real risk of modern ever being cold. Bringing warmth and history to contemporary design is all in a day's work for her and her company that embraces exactly that philosophy. Says Lori, "My professional life is always related to something old but then done in a new way. And I think that's the way I wanted to approach my home."
"It feels familiar, something relevant from history, but fresh and new at the same time." She's talking about hand-tufted carpets and luxuriously woven and printed textiles, but it pretty much applies to just about everything in the lofty home of Lori Weitzner.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
My Style: Timeless.
Inspiration: Old, new, calming, things that tell stories...
Favorite Element: The art.
Biggest Challenge: Carving out "individual" spaces for each of us that as a designer, I can still can like.
What Friends Say: Wow, nice!
Biggest Embarrassment: Kitchen cabinets don't stay up and bang our head every day.
Proudest DIY: Definitely incorporating my wall covering "Magnetism" into my girls' room. We decided to cover all of the walls with it and it provides this incredible surface that allows the girls to do it themselves...to decorate the way THEY want to and it can be constantly updated.
Biggest Indulgence: The Perla Krauze painting in the living room.
Best Advice: Design/decorate for you, not for what is in fashion. Keep it soulful.
Dream Sources: All painting and sculpture auctions at Christies and Sothebys!
Resources of Note:
- • All custom colors, mixing usually Antique linen with a light color to take the "edge" off and neutralize. Benjamin Moore and some Donald Kaufmann.

Patrick, I could tell right away that you wrote this. Very nice.
Beautiful house no question. I especially love the relaxed roman shades.
So beautiful and calming. I wish I lived here!
Very well done. I love the textures, light, colors and the sculpture on the coffee table.
What a gorgeous home.
This is absolutely one of my favorite AT tours. This lovely gal has captured everything that I try to incorporate into my own home: neutrals, black accents, rich textured pieces, artwork, a touch of whimsey. I even have a passion for maps!
Thanks for letting us into your home!
Even though this home isn't particularly "my taste" it was SO refreshing to see a home with young children that actually looks like it's lived in! Ex., the basket of sports equipment in the entry and the magnets/papers covering the fridge. Props to Lori for making her home looks fabulous AND lived in, not like a model home with no existence of children.
What a beautiful, beautiful home.
Love this place.
This home is very much to my taste--I love it!
And Patrick did a wonderful job writing about this beautiful home.
Absolutely stunning! Thank you for the numerous photos!
This is really nice, interesting pieces throughout and a warm pallet.
Stunning! Great article, too.
this is beautiful - so serene and inviting. sophisticated and warm. i could spend hours camped out on that sofa in the sunroom. love the glass dividing wall. great use of space throughout. thanks for sharing!
love the home! what sumptuous textiles and gorgeous museum quality displays of art... one day when I'm a grown up, hope to live in a place like this :)
Seriously awesome. Impeccable taste.
The textiles are exquisite. I particularly like the wall hangings in the hallway.
beautiful details... very worldly and personal.
Absolutely beautiful color palate. Muted, moody. The fabrics are exquisite as well. Love the combo of frame colors. The cane-back dining chairs are beautiful too. There's nothing I don't like about this place. VERY well done!!!
Wow, beautiful home! I would have loved to see more photos of the heart collection.
Beautiful home, wonderful writing.
Very elegant.
Love, love, love those white floral club chairs (right? club chairs?) Please tell me how she keeps them clean!
It literally is my New York dream home.Please,who did that fantastic bronze?!? Its so prominently featured I cant believe it wasnt mentioned.
Not one mis-step in a beautifully executed, intimate, and refined home. Such a pleasure and I will look again and again. Thanks for sharing your vision.
johncb-- That bronze has a lovely story attached... another surprise birthday gift from Lori's husband, after Lori had admired it in a Swiss colleague's office for several years. There were so many lovely stories when we spoke, the written piece could have been three times as long!
Amy-- You'll get your wish, a bit... there's a separate tour coming up of Lori's girls' room coming up soon!!
Spectacular. I'm so happy Lori shared her beautiful home with us. Wow.
Great job,the house tour is spectacular,the entrance is very attractive and colorful and i also liked the elegant and organised display of picture frames.
As others have said the impression is of a calm environment. Thanks for the tour.
Lori has a beautiful home, and there is a lot to look at. But I don't think the photography of this home does it justice. I understand that textiles are central to her decorating style, but soooo many close-ups of pillows, wall hangings, and other textiles. And in 53 (FIFTY-THREE!) photos, there's only one with the barest hint of the kitchen, and no pics of the girls' rooms, bathrooms, laundry area. I would have liked to have seen more.
Perfectly lovely in every way. When is your next party?!?!? I'll bring some wine.
Oh My. Wow. So wonderful. Your sculpture is so beautiful.
Click faster. :)
As noted above, the girls' room warranted a separate tour, coming soon.
The emphasis on the textiles was fairly integral to the story. And in that barest-hint-of-kitchen, you see it all.
It is a beautiful home.
But I thought AT was about APARTMENTS i.e.: NOT about people with million dollar homes and money to blow on Donghia textiles and in art/furniture auctions at Sotheby's?
There are plenty of sources for "that" kind of home - I gravitated to AT because it wasn't about that. Or, at least I didn't think it was. Am I wrong?
That sculpture on the coffee table is gorgeous. Who's the sculptor and where is it from?
Are the textile hangers readily available?
This is truly a lovely home. Every where the eyes set is a work of art. My kind of space. I love the gentle color scheme that catches you by surprise as the nuances evolve and sneak up on you in delight. The careful choice of every piece of furniture, every rug, every wall hanging, every piece of art doesn't appear careful or contrived at all, but instead suggests travel and the love of culture tumbled together in an incredibly tasteful manner creating a space called home.
Yeah, you're kinda wrong.
The VAST majority of homes you seek out are already represented here.
And, um, the textiles are Weitzner. As in Weitzner, the company Lori runs.
What, he stole the bronze from his colleague's office too? (merely jesting - and I agree with others, it is beautiful!)
@Reg: This home does have great bones, and the materials used are obviously high end, but I don't think that should disqualify it from a site that celebrates good design. The restrained colour palette, and mixture of naïve and sophisticated textiles, which characterise this space, could be adapted to a more modest budget. It's one of my favourites on AT.
The 1%!
There was a moment where I thought, ok maybe I was having an I'm so jealous and want all those richer and prettier than me wiped off the face of AT moment. But no.
I expect AT to be inspirational. Million dollar budgets are aspirational. I go to the salon and pick up Achitectural Digest for that kind of eye candy. I've been happy that AT is where all things are possible for ME and (yes Lolax), the other 99%.
So I guess yeah, I am having that moment. And it's not wrong. :)
I too would love to know more about the delightful sculpture on the coffee table. Please tell us who the sculptor is.........?
What a wonderful space-- very warm and just right. This is one of my favorites!
You make the assumption that anyone with a budget has taste. And, well, that ain't the case (Donald Trump, anyone?) And you DO realize that this home is filled with parts of Lori's business, right? And that the piano is a family heirloom, right? (Just two examples.)
I think criticizing a home's design because it APPEARS that money was spent really does the talent of the homeowner a disservice.
Plus, even people who *can* invest in a home still have lessons to teach. To shut that down does YOU a disservice.
Should we limit tours to people who pull stuff off the street or the aisles of IKEA, and share 250 square feet with a roommate and two cats?
Plus, the whole 1% accusation is really, really tired. And really, really inaccurate here.
This is a beautiful space! I'd like to move in.
This is a beautiful space! I'd like to move in.
My favorite are the fabric banners hanging in the hallway
Beautiful space, light pieces. I want to see more of the heart wall please!! It looks like such a great feature to not be featured.
Posh and plush.
I want to touch everything and lie down on every surface! at first I was bored, but the more I looked, the more excited I got! the textures and details are amazing. I want to run my hand across all the fabrics, I just wish I could visit the place in person.

I've been with my boyfriend on and off throughout life. We've known each other since childhood. This chart was so dead on it's scary. I met him at 14 years old and we clicked instantly. It was like we always knew one another. In your chart it seems we may have had previous incarnations. We have drifted in and out of each others lives on and off always picking up again like we were never apart ... incredible reading so true of us.
Understanding the interaction between the planets and your life is a lot more complicated than just your Sun Sign horoscope. Don't worry: we've got the hard work covered! Look no further for amazing insight into discovering how the movement of the stars has helped shape who you are!
Get ready for one stellar career year, Capricorn! 2014 could easily be one of your most successful years on record, thanks to a huge conglomeration of planetary energies pushing you to the next level with your professional goals. For one thing you'll have the planet of drive powering up the top of your horoscope for an extended stay, January through July. Plus, the North Node of Fate will meet up with Mars in March in your professional zone through the end of the year, making the push to excel a dire necessity. Finally, add to all of this ambition the fact that lovely Venus will be kicking off the year in your stars for the first two months. She'll be retrograde during your birthday month in January, urging you to revisit old values and relationships. You may even see old friends or lovers crawling out of the woodwork. When Venus moves forward in February, you can expect some serious sweetness in your relationships -- and possibly some extra cash.
Saturn, your ruling planet continues his tour through your house of friends and large-scale life ambition in 2014. The work you began last year in terms of restructuring your values around both your social life and long-term goals continues to solidify as you deepen your commitment level. You appreciate the time it takes to make something solid, and you're starting to see some major pay-offs this year. You're also now realizing how important business partners, friends and colleagues are in supporting your life goals and keeping you emotionally balanced. Never will you take any of these precious allies for granted for even a second (not that you ever did).
Family life and domestic issues are another important theme in 2014. You will happily be letting go of many ancient family patterns. This is a year to shed any ongoing family baggage. You don't need it anymore, Capricorn. It's also the year to give up the fight in favor of greater peace of mind. It's just not worth battling with relatives or family members over the same issues year after year. Now you'll be ready put your foot down, refusing to participate in any more drama. This doesn't make you a bad person, so don't let the typical Capricorn guilt set in once you free yourself from the chains.
The year begins with the planet of love and beauty (Venus) in your sign -- but going retrograde. This means you're in a more nostalgic and reflective zone around relationships. Old lovers may reappear if there's any unfinished business. Or you may just be thinking about your past patterns and cycles in love relationships. Either way, it's a time of powerful introspection and reflection. If you're in a committed relationship, you may be craving a pause if not a serious time-out. It's not a time for big decisions or rushing forward with partners. If you've been fighting over money with your beloved, you may want to put any big financial planning talks on hold until February. The upside to this transit in January is that your appreciation for the sweetness and beauty in your relationships is enhanced.
Venus will come out of retrograde in February, allowing you to feel like you're finally moving forward with relationships. You can now apply all that you've learned during the Venus retrograde phase for the rest of the year. It's another year of breaking negative or addictive cycles in love. You've been on both sides of the power spectrum, Capricorn, and you're learning that you would most thrive in a coupling of equals. Of course, this is easier said than done, but you're getting closer than ever to attracting a harmonious match -- or reworking the power dynamics in your current commitment.
Jupiter will move into your zone of sexuality and intimacy this summer, bringing you plenty of opportunities to get passionate and deep with your beloved. Yes, this may require exploring some of the skeletons in your own psychic closet along the way, but it's worth the sexy rewards. If you're willing to face some of your darkest fears and insecurities this year, the level of connection you'll feel with your beloved will be off the charts!
To say that 2014 promises to go down as a career year for you to remember is no exaggeration, Capricorn. You've been working your tail off the past few years with Pluto and Saturn pushing you past any remaining comfort zones -- and the rewards are just beginning to peak. Plus, with Mars pushing you hard for the entire first half of 2014, there'll be no rest for the weary. But not to worry because you're at your best -- and often happiest -- whilst being an industrious little goat. Achievement is incredibly fulfilling, and this year the planets are bringing you ample opportunities to excel.
Saturn (your governing planet) continues to underscore your zone of group associations and long-term plans in 2014. The more people you can enlist to support your cause, the stronger your campaign. Although you pride yourself on being a strong and independent pioneer, having a superstar team to back you is priceless this year. In fact, networking continues to be key in 2014, and socializing proves to be more constructive than frivolous. Carve out time in your busy schedule to get yourself out there. You never know who you will meet, and this year you're sure to rub elbows some serious heavyweights in your chosen field.
Lucky Jupiter will move into your house of other people's money starting in July. This is an excellent influence if you need to borrow money or garner investors to support your bigger plans. You'll be wildly surprised by the generosity of others in 2014. It's rare for you to ask for any kind of financial help as it goes against your self-reliant nature. However, this is just a means to an end, Capricorn. You're bound to be so successful that you'll pay it all back in no time. Your moneymaking mojo is especially strong in February, so you may want to stash away that cash for future plans.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (May 12, 2010)-Mike Mitchell, who won the last two runnings of the Jim Murray Memorial Handicap with a gelding he claimed, will try to accomplish the feat again on Saturday at Hollywood Park.
Mitchell, who won the Murray in both 2007 and 2008 with On The Acorn, an English bred he claimed for $40,000, will send out Skellytown against 10 others as the race returns after a one year absence.
A Grade II at 1 ½ miles on turf, the Murray is named in honor of the Pulitzer Prize winning sports columnist for the Los Angeles Times. Murray, who frequently wrote about racing, died in August, 1998.
There will be an early post time of 11 a.m. on Saturday due to the 135th running of the Preakness Stakes from Pimlico. The scheduled post time for the Preakness is 3:05 p.m. PDT, placing it between the eighth, which is the Murray, and ninth races at Hollywood Park.
Taken for $25,000 by Mitchell on April 1 at Santa Anita, Skellytown, a 7-year-old gelded son of Thunder Gulch out of the Strawberry Road mare Miss Dahlia, was third in the San Juan Capistrano, a Grade II at about 1 ¾ miles on grass, in his first for the new connections. In the April 18th event, Skellytown had the lead in the stretch at 25-1, but eventually was beaten 1 ¼ lengths by heavily favored Bourbon Bay. He finished three-quarters of a length behind runner-up Unusual Suspect.
Bred in Kentucky by Madeleine Paulson and Diamond A Racing Corporation, Skellytown has won five of 16 while earning $152,240. He will carry 114 pounds and will be ridden by Tyler Baze.
If Skellytown captures the $150,000 Murray, Mitchell would join the late Bobby Frankel as the only trainers to win the race three times in a row. Frankel succeeded with Berillon, Toulon and Mashaallah between 1992-94. Overall, he won the Murray a record six times.
Three weeks removed from a victory over California breds in the $200,000 Snow Chief Stakes, Alphie's Bet will try to make some history of his own. The Tribal Rule-Miss Alphie colt will seek to become the first 3-year-old to win the Murray.
Owned by Peter O. Johnson, Sr. and breeder Teresa McWilliams, Alphie's Bet won his only other start on turf. He defeated Cal bred maidens by 1 ¼ lengths on Jan. 15 at Santa Anita. The last to first victory came seven weeks before his lone graded stakes win in the Sham.
Trained by Alexis Barba, Alphie's Bet, who has won three of seven while banking $261,320, was given 110 pounds, 14 less than he carried in his Snow Chief win. Silvio Amador is listed to ride.
The 118-pound highweight in the field is Scintillo. Owned by Leonard Lucas and trained by Neil Drysdale, the 5-year-old Fantastic Light horse out of the Thatching mare Danseuse du Soir has won five of 27 while earning $515,499.
This will be the first start in the United States for the English bred. He has been away since finishing 11th in the Japan Cup, a Group 1, last Nov. 29 in Tokyo. His most recent victory came in the Grand Prix de Chantilly, a Group II, in France on May 31, 2009.
Drysdale is looking for his second Murray win. The Hall of Fame trainer won with Storming Home in 2003.
The second high weight at 116 is Rendezvous. A 4-year-old son of Victory Gallop and the Southern Halo mare Halo Babe owned in partnership by trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, Rendezvous will be making his first turf appearance of 2010. Joel Rosario has the call.
The last grass start for Rendezvous was an eighth place finish in the Oak Tree Derby on Nov. 7. His biggest win on the surface came as a 22-1 longshot in the Del Mar Derby last Sept. 6. Overall, Rendezvous has won four of 19 and earned $393,505.
History Boy, also trained by Drysdale, is the lone Murray entrant that has won at the current meet. Owned by breeder Joseph Allen, the 4-year-old gelded son of Grand Slam and the Bates Motel mare Rare Blend won an optional claimer at 1 ¼ miles on April 21. It was the first win in five starts in this country for History Boy. He was assigned 113 pounds and David Flores will ride. Overall, the bay has won two of nine while earning $67,676.
The rest of the Murray cast includes Acclamation, fourth in the Inglewood Handicap on April 25, Dynamic Range, unplaced in the San Luis Rey Handicap on March 20 at Santa Anita, Unusual Suspect, Falcon Rock, fourth in the San Juan Capistrano, Romp, who is winless since Nov. 27, 2008 and Stalingrad, last in the Capistrano after opening a large early advantage.
A 6-year-old son of Unusual Heat and the Crested Water mare Penpont, Unusual Suspect has only one win in 14 races since the beginning of 2009. However, the California bred, who is owned by trainer Barry Abrams, his wife Dyan and brother David, has collected three of his six grass victories on the Hollywood Park turf course.
From the inside out, here is the complete field for the 20th running of the $150,000 Jim Murray Memorial Handicap: Scintillo, Rafael Bejarano rides, 118 pounds; Dynamic Range, Martin Pedroza, 115; Acclamation, Christian Santiago Reyes, 114; Alphie's Bet, 110; Skellytown, Tyler Baze, 114; Romp, Brice Blanc, 115; Unusual Suspect, Alonso Quinonez, 115; Falcon Rock, Joe Talamo, 114; History Boy, David Flores, 113; Stalingrad, Victor Espinoza, 115 and Rendezvous, Joel Rosario, 116.

Why Cable TV in Merit, TX
If cable TV in Merit, TX is something you are considering, here are our favorite reasons for it. There are hundreds of HD channels, that look great no matter the weather, unlike satellite. Cable gives you all your local programming, which not all providers do, in addition to great TV shows, movies and On Demand entertainment. Because it requires less equipment than satellite, Cable TV is easier to install and better value. Bundling it with high-speed internet could save you up to $400 a year. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
How Merit Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Cable Internet in Merit
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Merit residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $42 every month they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Texas grew to 67% by 2010. Enter your zip code to find out more about cable Internet, bundles and providers in Merit.

That's also why we can pair you with the right cable provider, which isn't as bigheaded as it sounds. In general, local government licenses only allow one cable provider per locale, so cable companies typically don't overlap in the same geographical region. Call us to find out about your Merit cable TV provider.
