Editor’s note
Kara EberleSPACES Editor • [email protected]
SOmETimES, PATiENCE PAYS OFF. In the case of the home featured on the cover, Zavos
Architecture+Design marketing coordinator Tracey Daniel told me
in December 2008 her firm was working on a project in Gettysburg
that would be a good fit for the magazine. She said the home
would be completed in late 2009.
In September, Tracey contacted me to let me know the home
was completed. And, almost a year after hearing about the project, I
met Jeff and Dawn Glass and saw their new Adams County home.
The home’s modern lines and barrel-vault roof stand out in a
development that’s just a few miles from the Gettysburg battlefield,
where Civil War monuments and historic farmhouses pepper the
landscape. Turn to pages 26-33 to see their lakefront residence.
Dawn Glass told me she and her husband had lived in a house on the same property for about
15 years before tearing it down it to build their dream home. They just had to be patient and wait for
the right time.
On pages 18-21, you’ll see the results of a similar long-term plan by a York County couple who
turned the basement of their home of seven years into a joint sports-memorabilia and family room
with the help of Red Oak Remodeling in Windsor Township.
In another York County home, Rich and Marci Biscoe personalized their new space with the help
of a designer from Interiors in Lancaster. The trick for them was to make their home beautiful and
kid-friendly. See what happened on pages 6-11.
ON THE COVER Photo by bIL bOWdENJeff Glass always wanted a secret room in his house, and he fulfilled that wish by hiding a room off the landing between the first and second floor. The door is hidden by the geometric shapes on the wall. See pages 26-33.

WHEN RiCH AND mARCi BiSCOE
purchased their home in the Brittany
development, they knew exactly who to
call.
Beth Alexander, an interior designer
with Lancaster-based Interiors, had helped
to decorate the couple's two previous
homes, and they wanted
to work with her again.
Alexander got
involved from the start.
She walked through
the Manchester Town-
ship home with Rich
and Marci before they
purchased it.
The house had
been built about three years before the
Biscoes took ownership. Marci was pleased
to find that the existing colors were
already to her taste. The walls and
window treatments complemented her
color palette of mustard yellow, moss
green and rusty red.
The open floor plan and kitchen
island were also big selling points. They
did, however, present some decorating
challenges.
With a lack of wall space in the
kitchen, the Biscoes relied on Alexander's
expertise in placing some eye-catching
accessories.
Marci joked, “My
husband and I are both
engineers. Without her
help, everything would
have been placed at
perfect right angles!”
Because Alexander
knew the couple so well,
she was able to custom-
ize the space to their preferences and life-
style. “They are very hands-on parents.
They wanted a home that was kid friendly
and beautiful to look at.”
The four-bedroom, 2 ½-bath home was
larger than their previous one. Alexander
decided most of the existing furniture

would be placed in the home’s spacious

New furnishings were purchased
from Interiors for the office, family room
and living room. “We had always been
happy with the furniture we bought
(from Interiors). This time we wanted to
go all the way and get the accessories,
too.”
Alexander, who has been designing
for 20 years, placed every picture, plant
and vase.
Rich and Marci also wanted to do
something special with their master
bedroom. They wanted to have a deep
color on the wall to make the room feel
lived in and warm.

faux finishes — just like the real thing Trying to spice up your room? A faux finish might be the answer. Faux finishes come with endless possibilities. Rag rolling, sponging, marbleizing, faux leather and wood graining are just a few of the options offered by the family owned Kimmich's Painting and Wallcoverings.

know what you’re thinking: Wait —
didn’t we just have champagne? But
the New Year’s toasts are, well, toast.
And an evening d’amour approaches, fairly
insistent that you clink Riedel with bubbly and
give a nod to romance, Cupid and your funny
valentine. Awwww …
To differentiate your February promises (“I
will take a break from Oprah if you are talking
to me”) from your January vows (“I will lose
10 pounds by Feb. 14”), perhaps you could
vary the color of your sparkles as well. After
all, if Valentine’s Day seems awash in pink,
why not your bubbly? With a pour of sparkling
rosé or blanc de noir, you can — and with
style, sophistication and grace. Your reference
point might be the familiar Domaine Chandon.
And if the economy doesn’t get much better,
it is no failing to end there. Surely you are famil-
iar with their omnipresent Brut — a benchmark
among the affordable sparklers. Well, the pinot
noir-based Blanc de Noir ($19) is even better, yet
not so spendy that you can’t afford to pair it with
casual dishes — Southwestern maybe — as
well as an aperitif. (Then again: breakfast the
morning after?) Even more intriguing: their non-
vintage Reserve Rosé ($30).
But Valentine’s can be a day for baubles as
well as bubbles — a situation requiring a more
serious pour. If you still have remnants extant
of your 401(k), consider investing in the ’99
Bollinger le Grande Annee Rosé ($175), and you
can party like it is still that vintage year. California
houses such as Handley, Roederer, Gloria Ferrer
and Schramsberg all make vibrant, tangy pink
sparklers in the $20 to $40 range that stand up to
contemplation and, as George Bush might say,
romantification. If you have been dabbling in
hedge funds, the ubiquitous Korbel crafts a Brut
Rosé ($10) that is as easy to pour as it is on your
pocketbook.
Pink frills
But if all the pink frills of the season start
to make you think of so much Pepto-Bismol,
you can toast your true love with something as
dark and deep as your lovetorn soul. Yes, your
flute can be filled with red, the color of your
heart-shaped candy box. How, you ask? Easy:
Australian Shiraz.
Black Chook ($17) is a favorite, and
bottlings from Rockford and Molly Dooker
approach pricier sophistication in this altchamps
style. But a proviso: Sparkling Shiraz comes in
two styles, bold and forthright and … ahem …
sweet and icky. Crikey. n

THE ANGELiC iNN iS A STATELY
16,000-square-foot home that overlooks the
countryside in Fayetteville.
Formerly called Ragged Edge Inn,
the four-level bed-and-breakfast in eastern
Franklin County is filled with lush, dark
wood as well as turn-of-the-century charm.
Its frontage was made more impressive
with a 12,000-square-foot addition completed
in the early 1900s.
Horsehair stucco, expensive during
that era, covers the home’s facade.
The 48-room inn sits on a limestone
hilltop with a 50-foot drop to the forest and
trout stream below.
Inside, doors that separate the
living room from the dining room fold into
each side of the room, creating a grand ball-
room. The floors are red oak, and all the
wood, other than the mahogany, was taken
from the forest behind the home.
The room’s original palladian
window is reminiscent of Italian-style
architecture used in railroad stations.
The living room and dining room walls
are original Honduras mahogany paneling,
with a carved fireplace mantel in the same
wood, decorated with marble. Three large windows in the dining
room also bring outside light into the room,
which is furnished with 19th-century match-
ing French oak china hutch, breakfront and
expandable table.
Six chairs made in France and hand-
carved by Italians surround the massive
table, which is a composite of four tables,
with seating for 14.
The expansive foyer overlooks the
stream; an arched window from the floor
above gives the effect of a single tall window.
The hand-carved chestnut cantilevered
staircase was made by craftsmen on the

RIgHTJulie and Brian Floyd wanted their basement to have a sports theme without being overbearing. in one corner of the room, leather couches and a gas fireplace create a cozy place for watching movies or baseball games.
OPPOSITEmemorabilia in the Floyd’s collection include seats from Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia, a field house seat and chairs from the players’ locker room.
A cherry bar in the corner is set off by ceramic tile. The floyds said they wanted the room to show off Brian’s love of sports but still have an elegant feel.

BRiAN FLOYD ALWAYS WANTED A SPORTS
room.
Julie Floyd wanted more of a family
room.
With the help of a remodeling company,
the couple turned the basement of their
Manchester Township home into a mix of
both.
The basement of the three-bedroom
home in York County was finished when
Brian purchased it seven years ago.
It contained what was called a fourth
bedroom, barely big enough to be an office.
But the nearby laundry room was huge, and
the rest of the space was finished but not
very nicely.
They couldn’t do much with it. The
stairwell was too narrow for furniture, and
there is no entrance from the outside.
“It was just useless space,” Julie said.
The couple wanted more room and
began debating whether to work on the
basement or just move. They started talking
to contractors and immediately loved Red
Oak Remodeling.
“They made us maximize every inch of
this small basement,” Brian said.
The walls of the office were knocked
out to open the space, and the laundry room
was cut in half, making one large club room
that incorporates Brian’s love of sports but
still has an elegant feel.
Ceramic tile sets off a cherry bar
in the corner of the room, where a dual-
temperature wine cooler keeps their reds
and whites chilled. Select sports pieces
— stadium seats from Veterans Stadium in
Philadelphia, for example — line the wall
without overpowering the room.

Next to the bar, a lighted trophy
case built into the wall houses Brian’s
trophies and a collection of baseballs,
some autographed and some that have
meaning to him. Red Oak had never made
a trophy case before, he said, but they
drew up some designs and it worked.
Across the room, bookcases were
built into the walls, surrounding a gas fire-
place. Leather sofas border a coffee table
that resembles a trunk.
The Floyds made sure the renovation
was functional, too. The stairwell now has
a removable banister, making it easy for
furniture to go in and out.
“It’s really, really helped,” Brian said.
They use the room to watch baseball
games, and Brian said they’ll probably use
it even more as their daughter, Ansley,
born in August, grows up.
“I think we nailed it,” he said.
The room stays cool in the summer,
and the fireplace makes it cozy in winter,
the couple said. With an old-fashioned
popcorn maker, a flat-screen television
and surround sound, they’re all set for
movie watching.
“Why would you pay money to go to
a cinema?” Brian said. n
The Floyds said they wanted the room to show off Brian’s love of
sports but still have an elegant feel.

THE PHiLOSOPHY AT mANGiA QUi iN
Harrisburg is simple: respect the ingredients,
prepare them well and provide an inviting
atmosphere where people feel at home.
“I believe we do this at Mangia Qui
and at Suba,” said owner and general
manager Staci Basore. “It is all about the
food, and we are very passionate about
that and our guests.”
Although Mangia Qui is an Italian
restaurant, Basore explains that there is
no such thing as Italian cuisine.
“First, because the term ‘cuisine’ is
French, but more importantly, there is no
uniform way of cooking in Italy … due to
the history and various regions,” she said.
So, patrons will find food from all of
Italy’s regions, including Trentino, known
for stuffed pastas and heavier sauces;
Piedmont, home of braised meats; and
Sicily, where dishes are based primarily
on seafood.
The restaurant on North Street also
changes its menu regularly, based on
the season and locally available produce.
A summer dish could be fried locally
grown zucchini blossoms with foie gras
zambaglione as an antipasti and local wild
strawberry risotto with prosecco and con-
fetti herbs for the main course. A winter
dish might be marinated roast rabbit with
a roasted root vegetable medley.
“We adhere to a strict local seasonal
approach,” Basore said.
Chef Rosemarie “Qui Qui” Musarra
Photographs line the walls of the second floor, where patrons can watch live entertainment from 9 to 11 p.m. every Friday and Saturday at Suba, a Spanish tapas bar.

studied at The Culinary Institute of
America in Hyde Park, N.Y., and has
traveled extensively, giving her a firm
grasp on different cooking techniques.
But Mangia Qui’s variety doesn’t
stop there. On the second floor, Suba,
a traditional Spanish tapas bar, offers
patrons small versions of appetizers.
“What you will find at Suba, you
would find at any tapas bar in Barcelona,”
Basore said.
Suba offers a warm, inviting atmo-
sphere because tapas are meant to be
shared, she said.
Almost all of the produce and meats
used at the restaurant come from Pennsyl-
vania, something made possible through
a partnership with several small farms
and co-ops. “We adhere to the philoso-
phy of the Slow Food Movement, which
emphasizes local and sustainable methods,”
she said. n

WHAT’S IN A NAME?Mangia Qui means “eat here” in italian.
Suba is the directive in Spanish that means “go upstairs,” which is fitting because the tapas bar is on the second floor.

TTHE BODY OF WATER AT THE CENTER OF LAKE HERiTAGE iN ADAmS COUNTY
is also the focal point of Jeff and Dawn Glass’ new home.
The lake can be seen from almost every room in the house — the master bedroom,
the great room, the kitchen, the dining room and the shower of the master bathroom.
Two tiers of windows make up the rear wall of the home, framing the view.
On the inside, the home’s open floor plan allows the Glasses to entertain guests in
the kitchen while keeping an eye on their children in the living room.
Creating such a layout for the 8,000-square-foot home in Mount Joy Township was
Dawn Glass likes to entertain while cooking. The kitchen includes two full work stations — two sinks, two dishwashers and two ovens — so Dawn and a
friend can cook or bake at the same time.
The back deck of the Adams County home is a combination deck, picnic area and screened-in porch, which overlooks the lake at the center of Lake Heritage in mount Joy Township.

Jeff and Dawn Glass love to entertain and have a close-knit group of 10 friends who congregate at their house often. To make sure everyone is comfortable, the entire house, including the kitchen, is built to accommodate those friends and the Glass’ two children.

‘We went all out in the kitchen because this is where we live.’— Dawn Glass, homeowner
a challenge for the team from Zavos
Architecture + Design. But after hours
of brainstorming, project manager and
interior designer Hannah Weikel worked
out a plan that gave the Glasses every-
thing they wanted.
Dawn Glass jokes that her home
doesn’t really fit in with the more
traditional homes in the development,
with its barrel-vault roof and contemporary
lines, but it’s what she always wanted.
However, style wasn’t her only
concern. Safety and practicality also
played a part in the home’s design.
Dawn wanted the master bedroom
on the first floor, so she and Jeff won’t
have to worry about walking up stairs
in their golden years. She also wanted
the laundry room to be next to her bed-
room to make the chore of laundry more
convenient.
One of the safety measures included
in the plan was a security system, which
does more than keep the home safe from
intruders. Dawn Glass wanted a system
that would alert her if a door opens so
she always knows that her boys — Evan,
4, and Maddox, 2 — are safe inside the
house and not headed toward the lake,
one of her worries about living so close
to the water.

Dawn admits that she’s ‘breaking the rules’ by putting the television in front of the wall of windows, but she wanted the couch to face the lake so she could watch TV and enjoy the scenery at the same time. The family’s cat, moe, enjoys lounging on the sectional sofa that mirrors the curves found throughout the home.

Dawn, who teaches dance at Oxford
School of Performing Arts in New Oxford,
Adams County, sometimes works from
home, so she included an office in the
plans. And, although she wanted to be able
to work in peace, she didn’t like the idea
of being shut away from her children. So
she had cut outs made in the curved wall
facing the great room, which gives her
some privacy as well as a view of the boys
playing. Dawn said that during construc-
tion, she sat in her desk chair and had the
workers adjust the measurement for the
shapes based on her eye level.
Some of the home’s luxuries include
an expansive kitchen, a spa-like master
bathroom and walk-in closets. The living
room features a wall of windows, which
are wired with electronic screens to
moderate the glare on sunny days.
The most dramatic feature is the float-
ing maple staircase designed and built by
Dawn Glass and interior designer Hannah Weikel created the art hanging
on the far wall.
One of the many modern elements of the home is the fireplace, which
holds fire glass instead of logs.
‘We definitely like to push the contemporary envelope, and they let us.’ — Hannah Weikel,
project manager and interior designer

LEfTThe master bedroom has access to the back porch on one side and a personal balcony on the other. The room’s windows and glass doors overlook the lake, bringing the outdoors into the room.
OPPOSITEDawn wanted her master bathroom to have a calm and spa-like feeling. She also wanted to have a view of the lake from the shower.
The Taney Corp., based in Taneytown, Md.
The company was started by Jeff Glass’
father about 50 years ago.
The stairs greet visitors as they enter
the home and are the focal point of the
lower level.
The decor throughout is minimal to
emphasize the clean lines of the architecture.
“I don’t think we need a lot of art,
because the house is the art,” Dawn said.
The Glasses are just getting settled in their
new home, which was completed in Sep-
tember. But they don’t have to learn a new
address. They lived in a house on the lot
for 15 years before tearing it down. Dawn
said they always knew they wanted to
rebuild on the lot, which curves around
the lake.
Now that most of the work is done,
Dawn wouldn’t change a thing.
“We’re very happy.” n

by TERESA McMINN for Spaces

Why let spindles clutter a magnificent
view of a fabulous in-ground swimming
pool surrounded by stately trees?
For Bob Brown and his wife, Susan,
the answer to that question was clear.
The couple designed a tempered
safety glass-paneled railing around a
deck that overlooks the pool at their York
County home.
“It will take a lot of abuse. It’s very
strong,” said Bob Brown, president of the
family’s company, Brown’s Glass.
Bob Brown’s father and grandfather
started the business in 1945 by making
glass tabletops and it grew to include
shower-door installations.
The company has grown and today
offers a wide variety of products includ-
ing glass railings, which provide the same
level of security as traditional railings
but without closely spaced rungs that
interrupt a view, Brown said.
“I like the openness,” Susan Brown
said. “It’s almost like you’re bringing
nature into the house.”
Q How many glass-paneled railings
have been installed locally?
A The Browns have installed three or
four of the railings so far.
Q Is this a local trend or are glass
railings the new must-have for high-end
homes?
A Glass railings are being used
commercially in some areas, including
Denver, Colo.; Tampa and Sarasota, Fla.
and Raleigh, N.C. They are also being
used in high-end contemporary homes.

Q & ASusan and bob brown stand with their children, Rebekah,

York-based Brown’s Glass also installs glass shower doors and enclosures, such as this one in the Browns’ master bathroom.

Thanks to the glass panels surrounding the home’s deck, the Browns have an unobstructed view of the in-ground pool at their York Township home. To learn more, visit www.brownsglass.com.
Q How much does a glass-paneled
railing cost?
A Although the cost of a project would
depend on the specific situation, the
Browns estimate that a glass-paneled rail-
ing would cost 25 percent to 40 percent
more than a “normal” railing.
Q Is glass paneling a “green” option?
A Yes. The glass is environmentally
friendly, because it’s recyclable.
Q Does it require a lot of maintenance?
A Other than the need to wipe nose
prints left by the family dog and stray fin-
gerprints, the glass is easy to clean. n
