a cozy cabin

I've had every intention of blogging but the last couple of weeks just got away from me.

We had a little vacation to California, Little Elliott turned one, and then there was lots of work.

To win you back I thought I would share a few images from a project I completed in September.

This particular space was a Hunting Lodge in the Utah mountains on the most amazing piece of property. The trick with this project is that the entire 8,000 square feet had to be furnished in time for hunting season since the property is primarily used for corporate hunting retreats. You can bet there were a handful of late nights and lots of coke consumed during this project.

Still I couldn't complain when this was the view I saw on each trip up there:

The inspiration for the space was loosely based off of Ralph Lauren's ranch in Telluride Colorado. His place is so amazing his wife Ricky published an entire book on it.

I actually loved working on a cabin project because it is a total departure from the type of spaces I usually do.

Here are a few details from the completed project:

I still can't believe we got it all furnished and pulled together in such a short time.

Hopefully I'll be back next week with a few other spaces to share.

Jeremy Ranch Project

In the spring I started working on a beautiful house in Jeremy Ranch which is an area near Park City, Utah. Anyone who is familiar with this area knows that there is a very specific look associated with Park City/ Jeremy Ranch/ Deer Valley. Park City is a ski town and many interiors you see in this area are very rustic and heavy.

The challenge with this project is that my client wanted her interior space to suit the house, which was very warm with lots of dark woods but she wanted it to have a sophisticated feeling to it as well.I had so much fun working on this project since each and every piece in the room was handpicked by me. Since we were playing into the rustic elements, we chose many items that had an old world feel to them. We used playful and earthy colors, woods with aged patinas, distressed leather, and juxtaposed these items against fabrics and other elements that incorporated a more youthful and fresh feeling.

I'll be sharing more of this project when in a few months when I have it photographed for my portfolio but I had to share a sneak peek.
