We're seeing a record number of people moving to Star Valley. Real estate is hot. We're in a seller's market with not enough inventory for the demand. But we aren't the only ones. It's like that everywhere. I think people are building because of the low interest rates and the chance to get out of the city, but we've been dealing with … Read More »

How to Pick a Range Hood
I'm deep into a few kitchens right now, and as I've been working on their ranges and ventilation, I thought it'd be a good topic to cover on the blog. There's a lot to think about (I can't cover it all in this post), but at least I can help you get started. Always, always ask your local appliance expert for the latest recommendations, especially … Read More »
How to Design a Bathroom with Wall-Mount Faucets and Vessel Sinks
I've been in teaching mode lately, and it occurred to me that it might be time to do more of that on my design blog! The blog exists as an outlet ( i.e. brain dump) for me. I don't do as many as I used to because I'm busy, but also because I really don't want to add anything to the noise unless it's helpful. I'm currently in the thick of … Read More »
Looking Forward
We're in the middle of my favorite time of year: a holiday break with my family. We've been doing a whole lot of nothing, and it's been wonderful. I hop off of social media, read books, sleep as much as possible, and plan out the next year. Truth be told, a chunk of my planning happened during the Thanksgiving break. With my kids being involved … Read More »
Owner’s Bathroom Reveal
When I was pregnant with our third child, Dave and I were trying to explain to our son that he would soon have a baby sister. We were driving in the car and discussing what made a family. Kel, trying to sort out our conversation in his three-year-old brain, finally had it figured out. He stated in his matter-of-fact way, "A family means you all … Read More »
Life Lately
It has been awhile since I've written. 2020 has had so many twists and turns I haven't been able to sit and collect my thoughts for months. I enjoy writing, so it feels good to be using a keyboard again. At the beginning of the year, I chose the word "enough" as my guide, and it has been a grounding and essential choice. I've used it to say no … Read More »
Pumpkin Muffins
I am one of the many that dove into the world of sourdough this year. One of the questions you start with is "How do I understand and handle starter?" And part of that management is the discarded starter. If you want to research, you'll find plenty of recipes, blogs, and videos with creative ways to use old starter instead of just dumping it, … Read More »
Living Room and Kitchen Reveal
When we see all of the makeovers on TV and across the internet, it can sometimes seem like they are effortless. Nothing could be further from the truth. Dave and I planned our home at Lost Creek Stables for two years while we remodeled the home we were staying in. Then it took us three years (I say we, but it was actually Dave) to build it. … Read More »
Powder Bathroom Reveal
Fun things are coming your way in the coming weeks, and I'd like to start off by sharing the littlest room in our house: our powder bathroom. It is the tiny workhorse in our home. The footprint is 4'9"x 4'9", but it handles all our visitors and the overflow of the kids, who share a bathroom downstairs. It's situated at the end of a hallway and … Read More »
The Origin of Lost Creek Stables
I believe in the power and mystery of art. It picks you. It takes you on its own journey, if you choose to allow it. It's a surrendering, more than anything. And that's why I couldn't control the subject or the time when I finally figured out what would hang in our main room. To get to that, however, we have to go back even further. The … Read More »
