A
ccording to Alfred,
Lord Tennyson, spring
is the time when a
young man’s fancy
lightly turns to
thoughts of love.
At Montclair Magazine, we agree, but
we want to give the ladies equal credit, at minimum, for forging
romantic liaisons. In
“Matches Made in
Montclair,” we share the stories of three local couples
brought together by the people and places of our town.
Of course, spring is the
high season for other activities, too. Maybe it’s just me,
but I think that good weather fosters
creativity. Being Montclair’s major
export, we had no problem finding
two fine exemplars of it: Andrew
Tedesco, a custom muralist who can
now add Lawn Jockey Restorer to his
resume (“Brushstrokes of Genius”),
and Jake Silverstein, the innovative,
tech-savvy editor of The New York
Times Magazine (“At the Intersection
of Subversive and Sincere”).
And it wouldn’t be spring in these
parts without attention being paid to
all things design-and-build. Our Home
feature presents an estate where contractors achieved the uniquely
Montclair goal of modernizing while
preserving classic features. “Time for
an Update” offers three houses that experienced a range
of improvements, from
facelift to makeover to gut
renovation; the homeowners’
decisions should be instructive to buyers who need to
make similar choices. For
those interested in lightening
your home’s look for spring,
interior designer Anita Kassel tells
how to “Let the Sunshine In.” What
does this time of year mean to you?
