Hey everyone! Today I'm excited to share a project that we've worked on for a few years. It's been a ride, and we had the most patient clients while we worked through snag after snag. The original home succumbed to a fire. Everyone got out safely, which is of course the greatest blessing. And then COVID hit, which complicated and delayed … Read More »
The Flood Remodel
Hey everyone! I'm excited to share the first of four (possibly five) projects that I've worked on over the last few years. It's been a ride getting through COVID and going through the chain supply shortages/inflation journey with clients. It's an honor to get to this point, and and inestimable amount of man-hours and patience have are behind … Read More »

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 »

Always, always ask your local appliance expert for the latest recommendations, especially … 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 »
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 »
