THE BEST TAKES ON THE ANTLER CHANDELIER Like all things traditional, this classic fixture begs to be reinterpreted. Three striking renditions get it just right.
THE BEST STAIRCASES Think a staircase should do more than just get you upand down? We’ve found a few examples that step it up a bit.
THE BEST LIVING SPACES Who says high-country living has to look a certainway? As this selection of gathering spaces proves, there’s more than one way togive your mountain home a strong sense of place.
THE BEST PRIVATE SPACES There’s no need to check into a hotel to stay in theperfect bedroom suite. Follow our experts’ advice for creating a space that liveswell—and looks great doing it—and all you’ll need to do is go home.
THE BEST KITCHENS When it comes to the kitchen, design can’t just be concerned with looking good—it has to work hard. Our favorite spaces do it allwith a happy marriage of unique looks and smart functionality.
WHAT WE LOVE What designs are we still talking about? Mountain Living’s editorial team remembers a few of our favorite images from issues past.

his month, we have a little gift for you. It’s a special annual
edition of Mountain Living designed not just to last a month or
two, but the entire year. We’re calling it “The Best of Mountain
Living.” To create it, we combed through piles of back issues,
picking out the very best spaces we’ve featured over the years.
But we didn’t just want to fill this issue with pretty pictures and
leave it at that. So we added lots of practical design advice to
every page—the decorating tips, tricks and secrets we all wish
someone had told us long ago.
As we pored over story after story, picking out the biggest, best
advice we could find, we got to talking about the design lessons
we’ve each learned over the years. Our managing editor Caroline
Eberly told us that before making a purchase for her home, she
always makes sure it meets one of two requirements: “It must be beautiful or useful—and
preferably both,” she says. Once an item passes that test, she sleeps on it for a night or two.
“If I find myself thinking about the item, whatever it may be, a couple of days later,” she
says, “then I know it’s probably worth bringing home.”
If you aren’t sure where to begin, take art director Loneta Showell’s advice: “Find some-
thing that makes you happy—maybe it’s clocks or Art Deco pottery—and start building a col-
lection,” she says. “You’ll find new additions in the most surprising places.” When it comes
to displaying your collection, “you’ll make much more of an impact if you group pieces
together,” Loneta adds. “In my house, I’ve displayed 25 vintage clocks atop an armoire.
Grouping them makes the collection a striking (albeit hard-to-dust) design element.”
And as for me, my best decorating advice came from my husband (who happens to have
quite the eye for design). “Hang pictures at eye level!” he once admonished me. “Not at an
8-foot-tall person’s eye level; at your eye level.” It was news to me at the time—I thought
everyone stood on a chair to hang their artwork—but now it feels so right.
I’m guessing that each of you has learned a few good design lessons along the way too,
and I’d like to invite you to share them with us. You can send me an e-mail or post them on
Mountain Living’s Facebook page (just log in to Facebook and search for Mountain Living
magazine). I’ll read them all and post my favorites on our blog (blog.mountainliving.com)
in the coming weeks. So give us your best advice and then read on. There’s much more to
learn on the pages ahead.

THE BEST
The antler chandelier is a fixture that’s longfound its place in high-country home design. And like all goodthings traditional, it begs to be reinterpreted. Here are threebrilliant renditions of the old favorite, each sure to make its ownunique statement in your mountain home:
1. GLAM GLASS Made of mouthblown sculpted glass (you can
opt for clear, amber, black or opalescent), this contemporary take
by artist Nicole Davis is as much artwork as it is practical light fix-
ture. scenicmesa.com JULY 2009
2. BOLD COLOR Taking a dramatic departure from its antler an-
cestor, this colorful composition by The Future Perfect is as unex-
pected as it is sophisticated. It’s ideal for adding a dose of drama
to a foyer or dining space. thefutureperfect.com JANUARY 2009
3. NATURAL BEAUTY Acknowledging that twigs and antlers share
a similar organic shape, this rustic beauty—made from a tangle of
natural branches—is a true expression of the outdoors brought in.

1. ELABORATE Every iron aspen leaf that ornaments this
staircase was individually handcrafted for the homeowner
by a skilled young Mexican artisan. VAg, Inc.,
vagarchitects.com. MARCH/APRIL 2009
2. RUSTIC This ladder-style staircase—and the guest
cabin it resides in—was built entirely of materials re-
claimed from a historic Montana cabin. The old structure
was mapped, dismantled and given a new life as a cozy
retreat for family and friends. Faure Halvorsen
Architects, faurehalvorsen.com. JANUARY 2007
3. GRACEFUL This custom staircase’s undulating ribbon
of glass winds up a flight of wooden treads, mirroring the
curved lines of the opposite wall. L. Taylor Lohr Architect,
ltlohrarchitect.com. MAY/JUNE 2010
4. INDUSTRIAL An old mining structure is reinterpreted in
timber, glass and steel as the cornerstone of this house.
It envelops the staircase and offers an observatory on
top with 360-degree mountain views. Sunlit Architecture,
sunlitarchitecture.com. MAY/JUNE 2010
5. DRAMATIC A translucent wall of 3form Varia Ecoresin
panels—attached to a two-story steel structural grid—
transforms this staircase into a dynamic sculpture that
responds to the most subtle variations of light and
shadow. Vertical Arts, vertical-arts.com. JULY 2009
6. SPARE Modern and minimal, this staircase leads to the
home’s subterranean, museum-like art gallery. Inspired by
Case Study House designs, it lacks traditional ornamenta-
tion, relying on form and function to carry the design.

The space you see above wasn’t always so stunning. This penthouse
living room that now opens to a rooftop terrace with 360-degree mountain views was once a dark and
dingy little hot tub room with just one window. Architect Lynn Taylor Lohr completely reimagined the space,
then opened it up to the great outdoors with pairs of gracious bronze Hope’s doors. Architecture by L.
Taylor Lohr Architect, ltlohrarchitect.com. Interior design by KLM Interiors, klminteriors.com. MAY/JUNE 2010
High-country homes can have some pretty spectacular surroundings, so
it’s no wonder we work so hard to capture them. At this mountain home, architect Jack Snow
made the transition from indoor living room to open-air patio with a series of retractable win-
dows. Just inside is an intimate seating area; outside, but still under cover (and heated by radi-
ant heaters) is a dining table and outdoor kitchen. The key to uniting the two spaces is a
consistent palette of materials. Here, stone walls and flagstone floors create continuity, easing
the transition from inside to out. Architecture by RKD Architects, rkdarch.com. AUGUST 2009

For a design that has a strong sense of
place—but with an edge—consider color. The use of hand-peeled
logs, distressed flooring and native stone firmly root this Montana
home to the surrounding landscape, but the usual expectations end
there. The deep espresso stain of the log beams, flooring and win-
dow frames immediately gives the home a contemporary edge. “The
dark stain of the logs and wood bridges the gap between rustic and
modern and serves as a counterpoint to the contemporary furnish-
ings,” says builder Len Ford. To keep the look from feeling too crisp,
the homeowner added expressive pops of color in fun and unex-
pected places, like this bold floral-print rug. Construction by Ford
Construction, fordconstructioncorp.com. JANUARY 2009
PLAY WITH COLOR
GET THE LOOK “I imagine com-
ing across this table in the middle
of the forest,” says artist Michael
Aram of his Enchanted Forest Side
Table, a slice of tree trunk sup-
ported by cast twigs in polished
aluminum. $570; michaelaram.com
Interior designer Yvonne Jacobs of Slifer Designs and architect Hans Berglund of BerglundArchitects share some time-tested advice forshowcasing art in your high-country home.
DON’T OVERCROWD DISPLAYS “Give your artwork a space on the wall that’s appropriate to the size of the piece,” Jacobs recommends.“Don’t try to crowd things. The eye needs room to wander.”
MIX UP THE BACKGROUNDS Art doesn’t always have to be displayed against a drywall or plaster background. “You can use softerstones, such as a sandstone fireplace, to display artwork very well,” Jacobs says.
HARMONIZE WITH THE VIEWS Art shouldn’tcompete with nature’s beauty. Instead, says Berglund, aim to display key pieces on walls opposite, framed by, or at right angles to large windows.
DISPLAY COLLECTIONS STRATEGICALLY Create arrangements of smaller, related pieces—whether print series, photos or collections suchas baskets—for contained areas such as hallways or staircase walls.

Ready for a more contemporary take on
mountain style? Whether you’rebuilding from scratch or
remodeling what you’ve got,keep these expert tips in mind.
KEEP IT CLEAN Rustic materials can feel heavy and oppressive at times, but this
room (below) beautifully demonstrates their lighter side. There are massive Douglas fir
timbers, hand-scraped wide-plank walnut floors, reclaimed barnwood ceilings and
walls of hand-chipped cantera stone—and yet the overall effect is light, bright and
airy. How’d they do that? It starts with natural light; here, it streams in from a soaring
wall of windows with a graphic grid of panes in a fresh orange hue. Furnishings, like
Baker lounge chairs and a double chaise by EF+LM, were selected by interior designer
Eddy Doumas for their simple, straightforward lines. Even the stone mantel has a cool,
clean and contemporary appeal. Architecture by VAg, Inc., vagarchitects.com.

GETTHE
LOOK
35
GO NATURAL “Using natural woods and stones in a clean, contemporary way” effectively expresses a more modern
mountain look, says this home’s interior designer, Yvonne Jacobs. “Many people react negatively to modern architecture
because stark white surfaces feel cold and uninviting,” adds architect Hans Berglund, “but using very warm, natural materials
will warm up the design.” Creating a contrast with this room’s stone, steel and wood surfaces is spare but inviting seating up-
holstered in neutral, well-wearing fabrics like cozy chenilles, velvets and wools—a refreshing alternative to the overstuffed sofas
and armchairs covered in plaids or tribal patterns that often inhabit mountain designs. Architecture by Berglund Architects,
berglundarchitects.com. Interior design by Slifer Designs, sliferdesigns.com. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010
“Less is definitely more when it comes to contemporary design. Have fewer design elements, but make each one stronger.”

“Make your home personal and not themed. It’s important to bring a little bit of where you’re from to the mountains.”
GREAT IDEA Don’t be afraid to mix up the seating at your dining table. Three of the dining rooms pictured here
illustrate one technique: Choose a different chair to take the place of honor at the head of the table—and let it
stand out a bit with a dramatic shape or grander scale. To unite a disparate grouping of chairs, upholster
each one in the same fabric. Or, to amplify the contrast, choose a different fabric to introduce a fresh new hue.
– interior designer Kath Costanti
Crystal, leather, wood, glass, gold leaf, faux bois. It sounds like a
lot for one room to handle, but “contrast,” says interior designer Kath Costanti, “was a key concept for this
home.” This dining room showcases the designer’s skillful juxtaposition of rugged and contemporary styles:
the clean lines of a coffered ceiling over a native stone floor; the pear-drop crystals of Ochre’s “Drizzle” chan-
delier illuminating red leather chairs by Hickory Chair; and glam gold-leafed, faux bois armchairs by Ironies
upholstered in a brilliant peacock-blue fabric. Architecture by Locati Architects, locatiarchitects.com.
Interior design by Harker Design, harkerdesign.com. JANUARY 2009
For a space that’s at once subtle and sophisticated, don’t overdo the details.
Here, interior designer Donna Guerra and colleague Katherine Taylor started with a subdued palette of
colors and finishes: rich walnut floors, a modern mahogany trestle table and a golden jacquard Jim Thomp-
son upholstery fabric. Next, “we had the homeowners’ classic X-back chairs refinished with a dark ebony
stain for an updated look,” Guerra says. To add a more stately presence in the tall room, she added two
A. Rudin high-back captain chairs. A simple bronze-and-glass Hammerton chandelier seems to float in
midair, while one well-chosen accessory, a pair of silver branch candlesticks from Roost, shines in its spot-
light. Architecture by Galambos Architects, galambosarchitects.net. Interior design by DG&A Interiors,
dgainteriors.com. NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2009
For San Francisco-based interior designer Charles
de Lisle, creating a design for this rustic retreat presented an exciting opportunity: “I had never done a house
in the mountains before,” he says, “so I took it as a chance to come up with a fresh approach to that
language.” The resulting spaces, like this dining room, offer “a sense of adventure and discovery.” Here, de
Lisle alludes to the notion that every mountain home needs an antler chandelier with a showstopping Vene-
tian glass take on the old classic. The contrast of heavy wood and stone with delicate glass is unexpected—
and simply breathtaking. Architecture by Pearson Design Group, pearsondesigngroup.com. Interior design
by The Charles de Lisle Workshop, cdlworkshop.com. SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2009
To add depth and a sense of spaciousness to tight quar-
ters like this dining room, architect Brett Nave suggests combining medium to dark floors with bright walls
and subtle ceilings. Here, Nave and architect Lori Ryker chose variegated fir planks—with a natural patina
from years of use as pickle vats—for the floors and ceilings. For more impact, they placed artwork unusu-
ally high to defy expectations, chose light fixtures that add dimension to the cavernous ceilings, and gave
the modern seating ensemble a pop of lime green. Architecture by studio.bna, studio-bna.com and

“Just trust your gut,” says Jackson Hole-
based interior designer Jennifer Visosky. “I
think that most people really do have an eye
for color, but they get into trouble when they
start second-guessing themselves. Start with
accents rather than walls and pieces of fur-
niture, then work with colors that speak to
you. You’ll be spending a lot of time in the
space, so they should make you feel good—
and look good on you.”
GREAT IDEA “For interiors, white is a great
accent color,” says interior designer Lisa
Kanning of Colorado-based Worth Interiors
(worthinteriors.com). “The contrast of a
gleaming white vessel surrounded by a
warm field of fabrics and furnishings can be
very eye-catching, yet not overpowering.”
THE BEST COLOR ADVICE:
“The owner of this
house (left) has an insane art collection,” says interior de-
signer Jennifer Visosky. “So I took a ton of inspiration
from that when designing the interiors. Art can be a great
launching pad—if you don’t take it too literally. Perhaps
you can pull a few colors or a texture from it—or perhaps
it’s an element that brings the overall design together. If
you have a hard time visualizing how colors will work to-
gether, a piece of art can help you discover combinations
that work. But the room should never be all about the art.
Tastes change and eventually that piece of art will get
shifted out of that room.” Interior design by Grace Home

This home’s architecture is undeniably rustic, featuring reclaimed Dou-
glas fir timbers and Montana moss rock. But its interiors offer an unexpected twist with a Technicolor palette,
extraordinary fabrics and exotic skins. Interior designer Kath Costanti’s unabashed mix of texture and color is the key
to this room’s “wow” factor. A dramatic rug by Patterson, Flynn & Martin sets the stage for an eclectic array of fur-
nishings, including club chairs upholstered in acid-washed hides and shearling sheep hides from Old Hickory Tannery,
a massive log table, and polka-dotted game chairs upholstered in “Velours Kimono” velvet by Nobilis. Architecture
by Locati Architects, locatiarchitects.com. Interior design by Harker Design, harkerdesign.com. JANUARY 2009
GO FOR THE “WOW” FACTOR
A red front door is an immedi-ate clue to this home’s accent hue. It’s just one of several ar-chitectural elements that echo the reds found in the owners’collection of Native American art—and on nearby shed barns.To choose an accent hue that’s right for you, start by taking alook around your home. Is there a color that’s repeated in yourartwork or accessories? If nothing stands out, consider yoursurroundings. Perhaps the fresh green of new aspen leaves, thepurply-blue of distant mountaintops or the golden-brown of alocal stone will inspire you. Architecture by CCY Architects, ccyarchitects.com.

To add warmth to a space that was formerly a meat cooler, in-
terior designer Susie Hoffmann played with texture and a mix of soothing hues. The century-old
building’s original wooden walls were left untouched and are accented by Osborne & Little metal-
lic floral wallpaper and sleek, metal Noguchi lamps. A simple bed from Room & Board and clean-
lined dresser enhance the room’s Asian sensibility. Architecture by High Plains Architects,
highplainsarchitects.com. Interior design by Envi Design, envidesign.com. MARCH/APRIL 2010
GREAT IDEA For an instant dose of color and pattern, just add wallpaper. If a
strong pattern strikes your fancy, choose a soft colorway to make it more liv-
able for the bedroom. And if you use a pattern on the walls, keep everything
else in the room simple and straightforward. Here, the designer did just that,
bringing just a bit of pattern down onto the bed to tie everything together.
MIX OLD WITH NEW
What makes this bathroom so inviting?
“It’s the texture of the basketweave tile that just lures you in,” says interior designer
Donna Guerra. “You want to go in and see it up close.” The key to making the tile
pop is keeping everything else smooth and clean. Guerra, along with architect John
Galambos, played up the contrast here by adding a chocolate-stained rift oak bath
surround, Crema Marfil marble countertops, and limestone-encased floors and
walls to the mix. Architecture by Galambos Architects, galambosarchitects.net.

RUSTIC DONE RIGHT
Don’t do the expected! Some of the
best rustic designs reinterpret—or
even challenge—the stereotypical
mountain-dwelling vernacular.
GET ECLECTIC Indonesian doors
found in Santa Fe, a headboard
made from an antique Filipino gate,
and feminine red-and-white linens
from Pottery Barn give this bedroom
(top, right) a rustic-romantic feel. “I
love mixing things up,” says the
homeowner. “I just put together
pieces I like and it works!” Architec-
ture by Daniel J. Murphy Architect,

Studio West, studiowestinteriors.com.
JANUARY 2007
DON’T GET STUCK IN A COLOR RUT
You might think a rustic design calls
for woodsy hues, but tweak that
palette just a bit and you’ll end up
with a space that feels faithful yet
fresh. “The colors in this master
bedroom (right) almost don’t match:
terracotta floral bedding, dried-
orange-peel drapes, a caramel
cowhide headboard,” says interior
designer Charles de Lisle.
“Yet they work together, and
add up to a great vignette.”

To add drama to a space, start by
creating a strong focal point. In the bath, a freestanding bathtub
positioned front and center will do just that. Pair it with a pedestal-
style tub filler and you’ve elevated a once-boring plumbing fixture
to a striking work of art. The symmetry of this space adds to its
impact. It’s enhanced by art niches on each side of the steam
shower and a granite-and-limestone floor laid in a simple grid-like
pattern. Architecture by VAg, Inc., vagarchitects.com. Interior
design by Worth Interiors, worthinteriors.com. MARCH/APRIL 2009

GET DRAMATIC
86
Big rooms and high ceilings mean big walls. Rather than letting those vast expanses go to waste, make
sure your walls serve a purpose other than merely dividing space. Use them for storage or to display your collections, or let them serve as space-
defining sculptural elements, as they do in this home (above) designed by architect Joe Herzog. Here, thick masses of blue stone float through-
out the residence, loosely delineating traditional spaces like the master bedroom. The stone’s natural color variations add visual texture and a
soothing hue that softens the room’s crisp lines. Architecture by Merz Project, merzproject.com. JULY 2009
A design that’s at once rustic and sophisticated is tricky to pull off, but when done well, the
results are spectacular. In our 2009 Home of the Year (opposite), architect Larry Pearson and interior designer Charles de Lisle got it right by
mixing rugged touches with more refined elements. His-and-hers vanity walls with herringbone-patterned wood paneling, dual sinks fashioned from
two-century-old Italian terracotta planters, and log doorway frames that seem fashioned from still-living trees are matched with tangerine-striped
draperies, an oil painting, a turned-leg table and a lacy little chair that lightens the mood set by the heavy log details. Architecture by Pearson
Design Group, pearsondesigngroup.com. Interior design by The Charles de Lisle Workshop, cdlworkshop.com. SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2009
PUT WALLS TO WORK
BLEND ROUGH WITH LUXE
GREAT IDEA Sure, the bath is a hardworking space, but must it look so utilitarian? Here, interior designer Charles de Lisle demonstrates how
to break a few of the rules. He starts by replacing the door with a simple drapery, swept back to create a sense of drama, as if the room beyond
is a stage. Inside, a traditional table and delicate chair create an unexpected focal point that invites you to come in and stay awhile. You won’t
find fuzzy bath mats here. Instead de Lisle chose a vintage rug to add an air of elegance to the space.

How much color is right for you? Whether you love the freshness of white, the warmth of neutrals or the
energy of an intense hue, it’s important to choose a palette that can evolve with your changing tastes—
because yes, they will inevitably change.
BOLD & BRIGHT If you’re like artist George Carlson, the owner of the lakeside cottage pictured above,
then you aren’t afraid of a little color. Here, he used a pure white on the room’s walls and ceiling to cre-
ate a clean crisp canvas. Painting the floors a robin’s-egg-blue was a bold move, but otherwise, Carl-
son added color in a way that gives him flexibility in the future. Should he tire of red, all it will take is a
swap of the bedding to create an entirely new look.
NATURAL & NEUTRAL Browns can be boring, but not if you know how to master the mix. In this bath-
room (opposite), architect John Galambos let nature dictate the color scheme: a combination of fir pan-
eling, slabs of naturally quarried stone, metal and granite. “The best thing about this unique blend of
materials is that it has a pure, natural beauty that makes it feel like it belongs to the West,” he says.
WHAT’S YOUR COLOR?
89
Few colors can create a strong foundation for a space quite
like white. This charming bedroom’s white walls, ceiling and draperies allow every furnishing, acces-
sory and accent color to really pop. The robin’s-egg-blue floors complement the Royal Copenhagen
dishes on the plate rail above, and a flood of north light from the windows and skylight accents the
rich natural sheen of pine wardrobes from England and Ireland. By painting the Eastlake bed frame
white, the homeowners allowed their bold red-and-white quilt to take center stage. MAY/JUNE 2008
This spa-like bathroom appears to have ultra-high ceilings—but it’s really an illusion.
To create a sense of depth, architect John Galambos paneled the room’s walls and ceiling with clear vertical-
grain fir paneling in a variety of widths. Foregoing traditional crown molding and baseboards, he instead anchored
the panels with one-inch recessed bands of black metal that give the illusion that the walls are floating. To add
to the effect, he meticulously paneled the doors to perfectly match the walls. Thanks to hidden Rixon hinges,
when the doors are closed it’s unclear where the walls end and the doors begin. Architecture by Galambos

What keeps this neutral space interesting? A deft mix of understatedpatterns and textures.There’s a geometric print,a floral, a check, leatherand lush cashmere.
At first glance, this bed-
room’s palette of materials and colors seems quite neutral, but
look closer and you’ll see what keeps the space interesting: inte-
rior designer Kath Costanti’s skillful mix of understated patterns
and textures. There’s a subtle geometric pattern on the chaise, a
Roger & Goffigon floral on the ottoman, leather on the club chair, a
check by Duralee Fabrics for the draperies, and a hand-woven duvet
with a lush cashmere backing on the bed. All that variety—even
though it’s subtle—breathes life into the room, making it oh-so-
inviting. Architecture by Locati Architects, locatiarchitects.com.
Interior design by Harker Design, harkerdesign.com. JANUARY 2009
GREAT IDEA Have an amazing view? Choose drapes rather than
blinds. They offer privacy and can be pulled away to reveal the
scenery. Should you opt for a busier print than the soft check pic-
tured here, be sure to repeat that pattern or one of a similar scale
elsewhere in the room—perhaps on an accent pillow or two—to
tie the look together. ●

Too often, modern spaces feel cold and stark. But this kitchen has a warm glow
and distinct softness that make minimal more livable. How’s it accomplished? “The warm palette of the
cabinetry and wood floor is contrasted by metallic elements,” says architect John Galambos, referring to the
clean-lined metallic porcelain backsplash tiles and range hood made of plated steel that lend that distinct
modern look. To soften the effect, interior designer Donna Guerra added honed granite countertops (“we
didn’t want something highly polished,” she says) and leather chairs. Architecture by Galambos Architects,

This cozy guest cabin (above) has a rich history: It’s actually an
adaptation of materials reclaimed from a historic structure. Rather than plop a stainless-steel
refrigerator and contemporary furnishings into its rustic kitchen, interior designer Michelle Varda
embraced the cabin’s age. An antique dining table and old-fashioned appliances feel at home
with the room’s native fir beams and brambled wood railing. A primitive open shelf (built in lieu
of more contemporary stacks of cabinetry) makes the most of the compact space—and the
shelves’ exposed contents only add to the appeal. Architecture by Faure Halvorsen Architects,
faurehalvorsen.com. Interior design by Varda Interiors, vardainteriors.com. JANUARY 2007

Though the lines of this sleek
kitchen (the hub of the living area in a hillside dwelling west of Tucson) are
boldly contemporary, the materials nod to the traditional palette of the desert
region. Native mesquite wood on the island plays off of pale birch wood
cabinets for a color palette that is warm and light, like the home’s surround-
ings. Architecture by Ibarra Rosano Design Architects, ibarrarosano.com.
MAY/JUNE 2010
GREAT IDEA Reinvent the typical rectangular island form. This fresh take,
with a boat-shaped counter that reflects the angle of the hillside, says ar-
chitect Teresa Rosano, provides a gentle break from all of the right angles.
KEEP THE LOOK LOCAL
102
Open floor plans make for effortless entertaining, but marrying spaces with completely different functions is no easy
feat. Attention to every detail, from colors to materials to furnishings and accessories, is what makes this kitchen and
living area (above) work together so well. MARCH/APRIL 2007
DEVELOP A COMMON THEME To make separate spaces look like they belong together, choose a few design elements to
repeat in each room. Here, ornate lamps and framed art in the kitchen, though somewhat unexpected, help the room relate
to the more formal living area it neighbors. Marble floors flow from room to room, and similar light fixtures tie it all together.
CREATE SEAMLESS TRANSITIONS
USE COLOR FOR CONTINUITYChoose one or two accent colors that you’ll use from room to room.
Here, shades of red appear in upholstery, on alcove walls and cabinetry,
and in a few well-chosen accessories. Warm, creamy tones also make
an appearance in each room, making the two spaces kindred.
103
MAKE A TAPESTRY OF TEXTUREThese two kitchens—one
mountain-modern, the other
rustic-chic—may don two very
different looks, but they have
one thing in common: the
design is in the texture.
MODERN For this minimalist
look (top, left), pair clean lines
and strong angles with the
grainy texture of rough wood
(found here in the table and
floors). A few touches of
sheen—the glossy surfaces of
the chairs and the stainless-
steel stove—add to this striking
study in contrast.
MARCH/APRIL 2007
RUSTIC This cabin kitchen (left)
is a treasure trove of reclaimed
materials. To achieve a similar
look, use materials in their raw,
unfinished or well-worn form.
Here, work counters are
unfinished local stone, the raised
countertop is reclaimed timber,
and the cabinetry is reincarnated
from an antique green-painted
hutch. Architecture by Dan
Joseph Architects, djawest.com.

Welcome to the 19th Park City Luxury Home Tour! We’re pleased to
announce that all of the monies generated by this year’s tour will benefit
Peace House, a community organization devoted to breaking the cycle
of domestic violence in families in Summit and Wasatch Counties.
Domestic violence touches every segment of our society and has no
economic or geographic borders; even Park City, the Snyderville Basin
neighborhoods and Heber City have been affected. We are so grateful
to have a resource like Peace House working for a positive change in
our community.
As the funding vehicle for the Park City Luxury Home Tour, the Park
City Board of REALTORS® Philanthropic Foundation would like to
extend our gratitude to all of our sponsors. A special “thank you” goes
out to our Presenting Sponsor, The Colony at White Pine Canyon, and
to our Grand Sponsors, La Caille, Richard Springgate and Mountain
Living magazine. Your generosity and financial support of this worthy
cause are much appreciated.
The Park City Luxury Home Tour is the result of countless hours
of work donated by volunteers who come from every part of our
community. The time and energy expended by this dedicated team is
enormous; this event just wouldn’t be possible without their year-long
efforts. This year has been challenging for many and so we applaud all of
you for helping us make the 2010 Tour one of the most successful yet.
With much gratitude,
Jim Lea, PresidentPark City Board of REALTORS® Philanthropic Foundation

HOME ONE
The home was built using hypoallergenic “clean-build” methods, including the use of recirculating pumps to
remove toxins, dust and debris from the air. The master suite is a retreat unto itself, with a sitting area, carved
stone sinks and a hand-carved limestone fireplace. Walls of custom wood bookshelves and a fireplace adorned
with two hand-carved French gargoyles set the scene in the nearby home office.
An indoor spa with a waterfall accent and adjacent sauna make for extra comfort after a long day on the
slopes. Designed to serve as ‘Ski Central,’ the home offers ski-in, ski-out access via a heated path to the
slopes. A ski locker room has customized equipment storage spaces and boot dryers. Part of the property’s
significant acreage is used as horse property, and allows for the future construction of guest homes.

The home’s lower level is finished with a reclaimed oak floor; tile in the ski-prep/mud room is antique terracotta, reclaimed from the ceiling of a 19th-century Italian church. Other tile in the home also dates from the 1800s, when it covered the streets of Paris. Adding to the rustic patina is a farmhouse dining room table built in Ireland in 1830 and handmade concrete trough sinks. Stone from the surrounding countryside was used both inside and outside the home, and fallen trees from the property found new life in the front yard water feature. A family room, wine cellar and custom-carved mantel all add to the ambience, while the guest master suite and separate guest house ensure that visitors enjoy luxurious privacy.

From the imported Colorado boulders that enhance its courtyard to the arched sky bridge that separates the main and master quarters, no detail has been overlooked. A spiral copper staircase crafted from materials reclaimed from a historic California hotel leads to the master suite, a private enclave appointed with the finest luxuries. The nearby bath invites comparison to a world-class spa, with granite and Italian travertine, a steam shower and more. The lower level features something for everyone in the family, including a billiards table, large wine cellar and state-of-the-art home theater. No mountainside home would be complete without a ski-prep room; this one includes boot dryers, laundry units and a steam room with sauna. The guest quarters offer all the opulence and style of the main house. Visitors can luxuriate in one of several guest suites and enjoy the view from an expansive deck. Other treats include a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, two-story Oklahoma stone fireplace and handmade Italian duvets on the beds.

With the feel of a private resort, the home serves up creature comforts year-round. A gourmet kitchen with adjacent butler’s pantry serves as the heart of the home. Indoor and outdoor dining rooms create a variety of dining options, no matter the weather. Ski-in, ski-out access means that outdoor recreation is only steps away, while a ski-prep room equipped with a spa, rock waterfall, fireplace and sauna make for a cozy end to a day on the mountain. Eight fireplaces warm the home, while four wet bars, a home theater, and a family/game room with pool table, television and a full kitchen add to the fun. The guest suite provides a full complement of amenities for visitors, with a kitchenette, family room, home office and poker room.

The property’s expansive acreage ensures complete privacy, while the home’s amenities provide luxury and relaxation. Sited to take advantage of spectacular mountain views, the home features reclaimed hickory floors and antiques collected from around the world. It’s filled with custom features, from the hand-painted wormed beechwood cabinetry in the kitchen to a French country butcher-block table in one of the bathrooms. Another entire bathroom was designed around an antique water pump. The living room’s wood mantel is a single massive log, shot through with burls. It’s a found piece that the owners fell in love with. With a ski-prep room complete with lockers and heated floors, and a billiards room with a mining theme, this home was built to entertain family and friends.
