The place where the smell of bacon and pancakes fills the air on Sunday mornings, "do your homework before you go outside" is a daily mantra and unsnoozable slobbery dog kisses take the place of your morning alarm. For others, home is where the rest is. It’s the place where, after a long day, they go to relax. Where they spend meaningful time with their significant other, enjoy home-cooked meals and settle in on a comfy couch to catch up on the week's latest guilty pleasure TV shows. For some, home is where the work is. It's where they build their dreams, where

IDAHO'S FAMED RIVER IS A SPRING SENSATION

WHEN IT COMES TO WINTERS, THE TREASURE

VALLEY

ISN’T

EXACTLY

MINNESOTA, BUT AFTER SNOWSTORMS, FREEZES, INVERSIONS AND RAINSTORMS, I YEARN FOR SOMETHING A LITTLE WARMER AND GREENER. With the first warm, sunny days of March, I feel myself drawn to the Snake River. It’s like a sneak preview of spring where I can wander along the river and see some familiar sites, discover a few new ones, and either sit and absorb the sun’s rays or get a head start on my spring fishing trips. And, while the Treasure Valley typically has a mild climate, the Snake River is even milder thanks to its lower elevation and protective canyon. Drop into the canyon, and you feel like you’ve been transported far away from the busy Treasure Valley and back in time. There’s history in the canyon where Native Americans wintered for eons, and river provided transportation and trade for settlers. The black cliffs, gravel bars, islands and sagebrush plains harbor a variety of wildlife and look for the soaring raptors that gave the Morley Nelson Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area its identity. Grab a fishing rod and try to catch a smallmouth bass or catfish from the river or just stare at the sparkling water set against the canyon walls. Lace up your hiking boots and wander the shoreline. Watch for the hints of the past—a weathered foundation that marks an abandoned homestead—and wonder what life was like trying to eke out a living from a beautiful, challenging landscape. The Snake River runs the length of southern Idaho before heading north and plunging into Hells Canyon. There are many places to experience the river, and here are a few of my favorites.

by the Bonneville flood and stopping to see petroglyphs as ancient as 10,000 years old. See the interpretive sites and learn about the Paleolithic ways of life, and try throwing a dart with an atlatl, which is a tool used by the ancients to hunt game. More recent history can be seen on a walking tour of historical Guffey Railroad Bridge and Southwest Idaho’s early mining and railroad history or hike upstream to Halverson Lake. (Hint: It’s swarming with bluegill in the spring.)

S WA N FA L L S DA M This is a working dam, a museum, a park and a recreation area with boat ramps, rustic campsites, trails for hiking and horse riding, and more. It's about a half-hour from Kuna, so it’s an easy daytrip. Swan Falls Reservoir upstream from the dam is a nice spot to paddle a canoe or kayak. Before dropping into the canyon, stop by Dedication Point and experience one of the Snake River’s finest viewpoints.

H E L L S C A N YO N This is a long day trip, but a great weekend trip. It’s roughly a two-hour drive to Brownlee Reservoir, which is the uppermost of three reservoirs in Hells Canyon. Then there are 34 miles

Boise Lifestyle | March 2018

“Creativit y is piercing the mundane to find the mar velous.” —Bill Moyers

CREATIVITY CAN BE NURTURED AND HARVESTED BUT NEEDS A SUITABLE SPACE TO DEVELOP AND GROW. There appears to be a growing trend in this idea of developing an environment conducive to fostering creativity or inspiration within the home or office. Modern families are looking

Hello

spring!

for uniquely quirkier spaces—spaces like music rooms, craft rooms, playrooms and reading rooms. Even in the office spaces of corporate America, one is less likely to see the boxy offices or stuffy boardrooms that set the traditional tones of yesteryear. Today, there is a notion to gather in comfortable, collaborative nooks and to reinvent the current real estate to make better use of the space.

spring is the perfect time to: · assess for damage that may have occurred over the winter · Check for plant nutrition needs · Assess for unusual pest activity

With more than two decades of combined experience, local design team Jennifer Fitz and Sandy Murphey of Fitz & Murphey Interiors, are both passionate about the idea of using existing space to repurpose a room. Many of their projects in the Treasure Valley have involved this very idea of taking an underutilized space and transforming it into something both functional and appealing. “We’ve recently completed a project where we converted an unused dining room into a family home office," Jennifer says. “Every single day someone in this family will now use this room. It is exciting to see this new space transformed into something that is not only aesthetically pleasing but very functional too.” The design duo also takes a very collaborative approach when remodeling spaces.

OPEN HOUSE

(CON TI N U ED)

Getting the Look Today, farmhouse is mostly used as a way to describe a style as well as a way of living, and it’s everywhere. Thanks to hit shows like "Fixer Upper," the modern farmhouse (or farmhouse chic) style has swept Pinterest boards for house ideas, room décor and weddings. If you aren’t able to buy a modern farmhouse-ready home like this, rest easy. This trendy style is easy to incorporate into your current style and is cohesive with almost everything. Here are some key things to think about to create that vibe in your current living space. + Recycle, Reuse, Reclaim, Restyle: “Back in the day," there wasn’t a lot of extra money to buy new furniture. Families had to do with what they had, build something new or reinvent old items. Today, that is exactly what you want to look for. Vintage is a buzzword that's been given too broad a definition as of late, but that’s what you need. Hit up secondhand stores and flea markets. Look for the chairs and tables that have worn paint and have personality. + Opposites attract: In farmhouse style, old and new marry well together, as do country and modern. Try pairing a crystal chandelier with a reclaimed wood kitchen table. Put different wooden chairs around your kitchen table. Don’t have matching armchairs to go with your new leather sofa? Grab a couple different fabric armchairs in bold prints or faded colors. + Staples: Farmhouse sink, wrought-iron light fixtures, wood floors (preferably wide-plank), white cabinets, wood walls (including shiplap), burlap, Mason jars, neutral color palates with pops of subtle color, organic materials, distressed anything, small pots of houseplants (including succulents), sliding barn doors, family-centric spaces Now that you have the basics, try it out. Remember that it doesn’t have to be magazine ready—that’s the beauty of it. Don’t stress about symmetry and definitely shun perfection. Use textures and opposites and unlikely focus pieces. Make an accent wall or shelf that is filled with knickknacks and mismatched pottery, grab a can of paint in a fresh neutral color. Pull out grandma’s old chair. And most of all, have fun and make sure you give it some of your personality.
