Hi friends! Are you as excited to hear about our master bathroom as I am to share? If you missed my post last week, you can catch up here. Once the direction of the kitchen had been established, it made the rest of the house a little easier. Let's look at the house plan again to view the master bathroom: In our current … Read More »
Our New Home

I am an interior designer based in Wyoming, about an hour south of Jackson Hole. I am married to a tall and handsome general contractor (who also specializes in trim carpentry). We have three kids and two … Read More »
Building Our House
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. She and her husband had bought some family land with great views of the valley and rolling mountains behind them. Dream homes sound fun in theory, but they also create a lot of pressure to make sure things are … Read More »
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 »
Opposites
Today while other interior designers are starting their day with makeup and tailored clothing, I will be driving a pickup truck down a dusty road. I will throw on some worn leather gloves instead of perfume and a dress. It satisfies a part of me I can't explain. I'll look at my social media feed, filled with amazing homes in exotic … Read More »
Master Bedroom Design
This post is going to be short and sweet. I want to share some eye candy I've created for a long-distance client. We're working on her master bedroom together. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments section! This is the arrangement around her bed, which is going to be the focal point. The bed is the clients, nightstands … 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. Instead, I want to stay focused on the house for awhile. It keeps me motivated to make design decisions, and I think you'll find it more interesting. So … Read More »
