While I work on scheduling a professional photo shoot, I wanted to share a few iPhone shots of one of my favorite projects to date: Nothing is staged or edited for a polished photo, but still, it's fun to share! Powder Bathroom Laundry Room Kitchen … Read More »
How Much Does it Cost to Build in Wyoming?
If you look online or talk to a friend, this is the question that pops up more often than not. It's not an easy one to answer. As always, it's helpful to look at the time the article was written and the area you are considering building. I am writing this in June 2022, and we live and work an hour south of Jackson Hole, which has long been … Read More »
The Best White Paint Colors
While many are saying white is out, the truth is, it will always have a place. Designers that have been in the game for a long time watch trends but we know not to jump on any particular bandwagon. For us, it's our job to manage how to use paint, wood, antiques, new furniture, pattern, color, scale, and value to make a home beautiful and the … 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 »
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 »
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 »
2020
The last decade will go down as one of the hardest, most refining, and best years of my life. I don't feel like I need to rehash it....the details can be found in my past blog posts. There was a lot to find, unearth, patch up, and expand. I had to look at the woman in the mirror, give her permission to follow her heart, walk into the dark, and … Read More »
