Started in 1992 by a small group of volunteers who decorated and laid wreaths on graves at Arlington National Cemetery, Wreaths Across America is today a national organization with over 1100 participating locations who focus on the mission to Remember-Honor-Teach. By laying wreaths every year on as many graves as possible across the United States, Wreaths Across America aims to remember our fallen service members’ sacrifices and to celebrate their lives and the lives of their families.

MOSS Building & Design has supported Wreaths Across America for several years, both donating funds to help purchase wreaths and laying wreaths in person. This year, the event was initially canceled due to concerns about COVID-19. However, it was quickly reinstated with specific health and safety guidelines and will occur this Saturday, December 19th with limited volunteers onsite (family members were invited last weekend to lay wreaths at their loved ones’ graves to spread out the number of people at each location).

This year, MOSS has once again donated funds to provide wreaths to honor its employees’ family members who are buried at Arlington National Cemetery and other locations. We will #saytheirnames because Wreaths Across America and our service members ultimate sacrifice for our country is #Worthfightingfor2020. Listed below are the names of those we honor this year, and every year, and we thank them for providing us with the freedom and liberty we enjoy today.

In mid-November 2020, the new City of Fairfax Theatre Company (CFTC)’s Scene Shop at Hopewell House was unveiled to CFTC members and signaled an exciting end to a transformative project for the company. In early 2020, MOSS Building & Design, which has connections to CFTC through its Chairman, Jason Hampel, had been contacted by the company to assist with the scene shop’s updating from an un-used barn on the Hopewell House property (donated to CFTC) to a space that was safe, well-lit, insulated, and appropriate for both the storage and the construction of the theatre’s sets and building materials.  

MOSS has long been a proponent and an active collaborator with non-profit and other organizations in the Northern Virginia community, and the opportunity to provide what is essentially a long-term solution to CFTC was a no-brainer for our team. Run entirely by volunteers, CFTC relies on public use space for its rehearsal and productions, and in the past had all its equipment, materials, costumes, and other related items stored at CFTC members’ homes.  

With donated materials from other sources, MOSS was able to provide the manpower necessary to do the following: demo interior partitions and frame a floor to provide storage, create a larger main double door entry for easier access, rework electrical to provide better lighting and outlets and to provide electrical for the HVAC system, insulate the main areas and finish the insides with plywood, insulate, drywall and paint the ceiling, and install a new HVAC system. 

“This year has been a challenge for so many people- and to have Jason Hampel and MOSS come together with Hopewell House to make this game-changing contribution to CFTC really shows the power of community, and specifically the commitment of the Hampel family in making a difference in the lives of Northern Virginians!  We couldn’t be more thrilled to move forward and upward with our work due to the generosity of Jason, MOSS, and Hopewell House,” said Michael O’Dell, President of CFTC.  

“CFTC has been a wonderful organization for my family to be involved with,” said Jason. “The volunteers and families behind CFTC give so much of themselves to provide our community with incredible access to the arts. They have given our son and many other kids and adults a fun and supportive outlet to explore a love of theatre and build confidence. Helping CFTC with the Scene Shop is the best way that MOSS could support such a positive group of individuals in the Northern Virginia area.” 

The City of Fairfax Theatre Company offers high quality theatre experiences to people of all ages through stage productions, summer camps, and workshops. CFTC builds a creative and collaborative environment to encourage artists of all ages and backgrounds to discover and develop their performing arts talents.

Do you love Thanksgiving side dishes as much as or more than the main dish? You’re not alone! The sides are a special part of any Thanksgiving meal, appealing to our taste buds for their deliciousness as well as to our memories for their sentimentality. During their recent visit to the Miele Showroom in Tysons Corner, Jenn and Jeannine enjoyed learning about (and tasting!) a few Thanksgiving side dishes that are delightful complements to the classic turkey centerpiece. Plus: a recipe for pumpkin bread pudding with caramel sauce that is a twist on the traditional dessert. Thank you to Chef Christal and Miele for sharing these recipes in the beautiful Miele kitchen!

Roasted Root Vegetables 

Serves 6 to 8 
Total Cooking Time:  Approximately 50 minutes 

Ingredients 

3 pounds root vegetables, such as carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, butternut squash

Garlic Leek and Mashed Potatoes 

Serves 6-8
Total Cooking Time: Approximately 1 hour 

Ingredients 

4pounds russet potatoes
Kosher salt
2 leeks, white parts only
6 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme 

Directions 

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Put them into a large pot of cold water. Add a big pinch of salt and put the pot over high heat. When it comes to a boil, cook until the potatoes are just cooked through, about 20 minutes.

4. In a small pot over low heat, add the milk, the remaining 4 tablespoons butter, garlic and thyme and warm it up. Strain the garlic and thyme from the warm milk and stir the milk into the potatoes using a spoon. Mash with a potato masher, breaking up the big pieces. Stir in the melted leeks, taste and season with salt and pepper. Cover the rest and keep warm until ready to serve.

As Chef Christal Karnaze puts it, if all else fails, have the pizza delivery on speed dial and some good wine available. But, if you follow her amazing step by step instructions for timing of cooking a fuss-free yet incredibly satisfying and delicious Thanksgiving meal, those backups won’t be necessary. Below, courtesy of Chef Christal and Miele, are recipes for Thanksgiving turkey and gravy, as featured in our MOSS video and witnessed first-hand by our very own Jeannine and Jenn:

Herbed Holiday Turkey

Ingredients

1twenty-pound turkey, giblets removed and rinsed
3 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons salt
5 tablespoons butter, melted
1 onion, quartered
1 lemon, quartered
1 bunch fresh thyme
8 sprigs rosemary
2 sprigs of fresh sage

Directions:

1. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, white and black pepper. Rub the inside and outside of the turkey with the salt-and-pepper mixture. Fill the cavity with diced onion, lemon, and herbs.
2. Tie the legs together loosely with kitchen twine. Fold the neck flap under, and secure with toothpicks. Place the turkey, breast side up in the Miele HUB 5000-XL Gourmet Casserole Dish or your own roasting pan with V insert.
3. Using the oven roast probe, insert the probe diagonally in the breast of the turkey along the bone. If you hit bone, gently pull back.
4. Place the turkey in the oven on shelf level
5. Program the oven. Operating Mode / Auto Roast / 350-375°F / Core Temperature 165°F / OK.
6. When fully cooked, remove the turkey from the oven, and let it rest, covered, for at least 20 minutes. Transfer to a carving board.

Best Gravy Recipe

Serves 12 (4 cups total)

This simple, yet flavorful recipe can be prepared two days ahead and finished Thanksgiving Day with drippings from your turkey.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 bag of giblets reserved from inside turkey cavity (if using breast only you may substitute turkey wings or drumsticks as a giblet bag will not be offered)
1 onion, peeled and chopped fine
1 carrot, trimmed, peeled and chopped fine
1 celery stalk, trimmed and chopped fine
1 clove garlic, peeled and chopped
1 quart turkey broth/stock (plus pan drippings from turkey)
¼ cup white wine
¼ cup corn starch
1 small bunch Italian parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions

1. Prepare the base - Heat oil in a heavy medium size saucepan over medium heat. Add neck and heart and other giblets (or wings/drumsticks if using), and brown on all sides, turning as necessary.
2. Add remaining ingredients - Add vegetables and cook until they are slightly browned, stirring frequently. Stir in garlic and sauté briefly before adding stock.
3. Add turkey stock - Scrape up browned bits on the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce heat to a slow simmer over low heat. Cover partially and cook 1 ½ hours.
4. Strain and cool - Pour gravy through a fine mesh strainer, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Remove meat and use in the gravy if desired (chop the giblets and strip the meat off of the neck).  Transfer to a container and allow to cool before storing in the refrigerator until roast turkey is done.
5. Complete the gravy - Once turkey is fully cooked and resting, skim off and discard solidified fat from cooled gravy.  Pour into a medium size saucepan and add accumulated, skimmed juices from the roasted turkey.  In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and wine until it is the smooth consistency of heavy cream.  Over medium heat, heat gravy/pan juice mixture and then slowly whisk in cornstarch mixture.  Continue whisking while the liquid reaches a boil.  Add chopped parsley. Simmer while whisking until thick, season with salt and pepper to taste.

RELEASE DATE September 15, 2020  

CHANTILLY, VA – MOSS Building & Design, Northern Virginia’s premier residential remodeling company, will play host to a day-long “BuildAPalooza” event on September 28, 2020, providing warehouse space, labor, volunteers, and materials to help build 50 (fifty) desks for area distance learners in need in partnership with local non-profit Desks For Distance.  

Desks For Distance, the brainchild of Woodgrove High School junior Colby Samide, began in late August 2020 as a way for the founder to perform a community service, having heard about the shortage of desks for students across the area, while also using his woodworking skills. From the organization’s Facebook page, there was an immediate and positive response from the local community, which prompted MOSS Building & Design to reach out to Samide to offer assistance and help fulfill the many requests he had received for desks.  

“I’m incredibly thankful for MOSS Building & Design’s help in pulling together so many resources and local organizations for “BuildAPalooza” on the 28^th,” said Samide. “I never imagined that this idea could get so big, but I’m so grateful for all the volunteers and donations to help so many local students in need.”  

“BuildAPalooza” will feature not only the entire MOSS Building & Design staff on hand, but also members of the community who are interested in helping, including area Scout troops, volunteers, parents, and others. In addition, Lowe’s Home Improvement has partnered with MOSS Building & Design to provide an expert team of volunteers to assist in the assembly of the desks as well as supply all materials for “BuildAPalooza”, a generous donation of over $3,000.00. The event will take place in the MOSS Building & Design warehouse, located at the company’s headquarters in Chantilly, Virginia, and space will be allotted for storage of the desks until they are picked up or delivered by My Guys Moving and Storage, which is helping as the “desk transportation” sponsor. In addition, Johnny Ray’s Sultry Soul Food will sponsor breakfast and lunch for the day for all volunteers. 

“MOSS Building & Design has been highly involved in community partnerships and organizations for years, as giving back to the local community has been a cornerstone of our principles since the company’s founding,” said Paul DesRoches, MOSS Building & Design CEO. “When we learned about Desks For Distance and Colby’s incredible work, we knew that we could offer our building expertise and area contacts to help this young man fulfill his mission and vision.” 

To qualify to receive a desk, Northern Virginia families must apply via Desks For Distance here and/or work through their school’s parent liaison. MOSS Building & Design will provide two onsite days where desks can by picked up by pre-approved parents or any Desks For Distance volunteer who is available for a student home delivery. 

Volunteers must sign up for a specific shift in advance, as outlined here, with numbers of volunteers spaced out throughout the day in consideration of social distancing guidelines. In addition, all volunteers must complete a health and safety questionnaire the day of the event as well as other waivers and releases. PPE and all required safety gear will be provided to all volunteers by MOSS Building & Design.  

Media and press are invited to attend “BuildAPalooza” to conduct in-person interviews with Samide and MOSS Building & Design executives on the day of the event. Please contact Mara Bauserman, MOSS Building & Design VP Marketing, for further information.

As states continue to lift restrictions on construction and remodeling, now may be a great time to kickstart your next home improvement project. However, it’s still important to be wise about your investments. Think about which additions make the most sense during these unprecedented times in terms of affordability and practicality.

Are you working from home? Have your children transitioned to remote learning? Do you have a dedicated space for recreational activities? Asking yourself these questions can help you determine which improvements you should prioritize.

Financial Considerations

Cost will likely play a factor in your decision to renovate. As the economy continues to recover, you may be wondering if now’s the right time to renovate or if you’re even able to afford home improvements. However, it may be worth investing in improvements that accommodate your changing needs.

Whether you choose to use your personal savings, finance through your contractor or borrow against your home equity, there are several ways you can invest your funds on improvements that’ll benefit you in the long run. When approaching improvements, think about whether or not they’re necessary and truly enhance the value of your home and life.

While you may want to postpone discretionary projects, there are several sensible and cost-effective upgrades that could better support your needs during these trying times. For inspiration, here are four popular home improvements to consider.

Landscape And Patio

Shelter-in-place orders have caused many to postpone their travel plans and spend more time at home. This has led to an uptick in staycations and home improvement projects that include vacation-like amenities, such as outdoor furniture, a firepit or a covered porch or deck.

Sprucing up the exterior will not only enhance curb appeal but also provide a space where you can spend time with friends and family or host socially-distanced gatherings. If you’re aching to spend more time outside or to gather safely with others, consider landscaping or remodeling your home’s exterior.

Virtual Learning Space

Some schools have already announced their plans to stay remote for the start of the school year. If you have school-aged children who will be engaging in virtual learning, you may want to consider building a classroom space in your home where they can learn effectively.

You could build a small addition to the back of your home or repurpose an existing space that you don’t use often, such as a guest room or quiet nook. Then, when school resumes in-person, you can transition this space back into a home office or its original purpose.

Home Office

At the start of the pandemic, many businesses made the transition to remote work. With many people now working from the comfort of their homes, there’s been a growing demand for home offices. If you plan to stay remote for the foreseeable future, you may benefit from having a formal space to work.

A home office provides you with privacy, comfort and a quiet space where you can focus. With a dedicated workspace, you’ll also avoid working in common rooms like your bedroom or living room, where your work and personal life could become blurred.

Exercise Room

Regular physical activity is crucial for your health. However, with most gyms and studios still closed, you may want to look into building an at-home gym. You could transform your garage or a spare bedroom into a space for exercise.

By building an exercise room in your home, you won’t have to worry about social distancing or sharing your equipment with others. You’ll also have the convenience of having your own equipment at home instead of driving to the workout facility. Plus, you may also be able to save money on a membership once the gyms reopen.

While it might not be practical to update your entire home during quarantine, some home improvements  may increase the value of your home as well as your quality of life. As you adjust to a new way of living, consider which renovations make the most sense for you and your needs.

A kitchen remodel is a very personal decision for many homeowners. With so much time spent in the kitchen, it truly serves as the touch point for family gatherings, meal prep and eating, heart to heart talks, and midnight snacks. But what if your original kitchen, while very functional and lovely, just doesn’t say “you”? For Eric and Mellany, the time came to update their Ashburn kitchen from its original look and feel as their family grew. They realized that a better flow and updated design was necessary to reflect their personal design aesthetic – and working with the MOSS design team, their kitchen remodel was completed with care and vision.  

Before: Dark Cabinetry and Small Center Island Create Lack of Flow & Function 

Eric and Mellany knew that the layout of their original kitchen was not to their liking. With a small center island plus a peninsula coming from an adjacent wall, the room felt blocky and tight, even though it had plenty of square footage. In addition, the natural wood cabinets, combined with the hardwood flooring, gave the kitchen a darker monotone color scheme, and with the cabinets also not reaching the ceiling, the lack of storage was a concern. Finally, the lighting fixture above the island was considerably basic, and didn’t reflect the style they envisioned.  

Before: Basic Butler’s Pantry 

While beautiful and functional, the kitchen’s butler’s pantry also embodied the same design style as the rest of the kitchen. It needed an update that made it unique but also a natural flow from the rest of the space.  

Before: Common Desk Area  

Again, the desk area was a fully functional area for checking email, making phone calls, and doing other household tasks, yet it needed to be updated to make it part of the kitchen design yet with its own unique look.  

After: Massive Center Island as Main Design Inspiration for Lighter & Brighter Space  

Inspired by the beautiful quartz stone that they found for the center island and the countertops, MOSS gave Eric and Mellany the kitchen of their dreams. The family always wanted a massive center island to serve as a gathering place for entertaining or a place to prepare and enjoy meals together. The larger island gave them the ability to do this as well as store more kitchen items.  

The removal of the peninsula island gave them the space to move around more easily. It was replaced by a taller piece of cabinetry to create the look of a piece of furniture. It was also given a different quartz countertop from the rest of the kitchen to help reinforce the idea of it being a piece of “furniture”. This smaller corner unit serves as a “catch all” for the family as they enter the house through the mudroom.  

The entire kitchen was fitted with semi-custom cabinetry. The perimeter cabinets were painted a soft gray and heightened to reach the ceiling. The center island’s cabinetry was painted a darker gray/blue to create a unique but classic look that gives the space a more distinctive multi-colored hue. Along with this, new professional grade appliances were installed – the favorite part for the homeowners is the built-in range griddle!  

New beveled subway tile was installed throughout the kitchen and butler’s pantry. A bit of beveling can do a great deal to create beautiful movement on the walls. The butler’s pantry was updated to match the main kitchen space as well and continues to serve as a wonderful space to store beverages, make coffee, and display décor. 

The kitchen’s desk area was updated as well but given a unique treatment to make it look like a home office space. The desktop was outfitted with hardwood so that it feels like a working area. And on the walls behind the home computer, shiplap tile was placed in a vertical pattern, drawing the eye to an incredibly unique portion of the space.  

Eric and Mellany knew that updating their Ashburn kitchen was in their future, and the time came to give it a facelift. Without removing walls, our MOSS designers were able to reconfigure the flow of the kitchen, created new elements that give the family functional spaces, and brightened up the entire space with the cabinetry colors, lighting fixtures and more.  

Much like unloading the dishwasher, doing the laundry is a non-stop, on-going part of housework. Whether you or someone in your family is in charge, it’s nice to have some sort of organization to make the laundry process, if not less cumbersome, at least a bit more streamlined. Even if your laundry area is tucked into a corner of your basement (versus on the same level as your bedrooms, which we call “winning”), there are countless ideas and storage options on the open market to make your laundry process easier. Here are a few of our favorite MOSS laundry room remodels that remind us that even though laundry might not be your favorite chore, it can be one that is able to be done with a touch of design and thoughtfulness:  

All Hail the Laundry Chute  

Most homes built over the last 20-30 years were not built with a laundry chute – we often question why! The laundry chute makes for less hauling of laundry down the stairs, and, it’s a lot of fun to use. This Oakton homeowner had one installed for this very reason, with the laundry coming from the second floor to the main level laundry/mud room into a cabinet. Convenient for anyone walking into the home to throw a load in (we’ll check with the homeowner on that one), but also hidden from general view (and off the ground so tripping won’t occur). We also love the cabinetry to hold all manners of detergent, dryer sheets, and much more. A final nod to this room is the organization for keys, purses and bags when entering the home – no more cluttering up the kitchen counters.  

Utility Sink Provides Additional Workspace 

Until you haven’t had a utility sink near your washer and dryer, you don’t really miss it. We love the organization of this laundry room and mud room – not only is it incredibly attractive for a space to do the washing and drying, as well as to store items for said laundry, having a utility sink allows for any pre-washing to occur (and also serve as a place to clean off mud-crusted shoes that kids might walk in with, for example). Storage above all the elements can hold cleaning materials as well as extra linens and storage containers for bleach and other seldom used items (better yet, they can be stored high up and away from spots where smaller hands might be able to reach them). This Springfield remodel is a prime example of an ideal space for the endless repetition of laundry duty!  

Using The Space You Have Wisely  

Perhaps the most convenient space for your laundry area is relatively short on square footage. Check out what this MOSS customer did in their Annandale home remodel. The washer and dryer (and upper cabinetry) are positioned next to another storage area/closet. A sliding barn door (very on trend these days) is able to move back and forth between the two – creating a private space but also recognizing that said space is of the premium. It’s a touch of design that is a brilliant way to making this laundry area one to truly behold.  

To Laundry...Or Not 

Some days and weeks the idea of tackling the laundry piles seems overwhelming, especially as the months of our extra time at home continue to tick on. Maybe it’s time to take a break for a while and outsource your laundry, and while you’re doing that, enlist MOSS to come in, redesign, and remodel your laundry room to one where storage options are a highlight, the space is bright and welcoming, and you find that you don’t mind the chore quite as much as before. Contact MOSS at Hello@MossBuildingAndDesign.com or at 703.961.7707 for a free estimate.
