Release and Watch Providence Work All right friends - I need to catch you up on a few minor details. One of them being we've started building our new house. First we said we were, then we weren't, and back and forth until I've honestly lost track of it all. We got to the point where I thought we were going to stay in our current home for as … Read More »
The High Contrast Kitchen
A few years ago (has it been that long already?) my little sister came to me because she was getting ready to build her dream home.

Dream homes sound fun in theory, but they also create a lot of pressure to make sure things are … Read More »
Top 3 Trends at High Point Market
The Spring 2016 show at High Point has drawn to a close. It was a beautiful market, with even better weather. While I don't think it's healthy to follow every trend that comes along, I would like to share three consistent themes I saw as I visited showrooms.

The Future of Kitchens
I love living in the least populated state in the Union, but it does present some challenges as a designer. Sometimes I have to drive great distances to find the product that I need. Yesterday I spent eight hours in the car. The road from my house to Salt Lake City winds through many places even radio is hard to receive, so that meant lots … Read More »
Does the View Present a Worthy Motive?
Good Things Take Great Effort Scott Christensen is a small, quiet-spoken man who is one of the best landscape painters of our time. As I sat with three other people in his advanced painting workshop, we had to listen closely to hear every word he was saying. His style wasn't to ramble, however. He got directly to his point. "That's what you … Read More »

What Does Quality Lighting Really Cost?
From an electrician that "puts in the expensive, couple hundred dollar light fixtures" to client expectations of a good lighting budget, I felt the need to share some thoughts about lighting costs today. I remember the final construction phase of our first home. When it was time to pick out the light fixtures, I had extreme "decision" … Read More »

Lost Creek Stables Main Floor Plan
A few weeks ago I shared the first drawings of our home. I was going to share the other buildings on our land in the next post (garage; barn) but decided to switch course last night.
