It Comes Naturally

“Nature is a teacher that never deceives,” wrote artist Albert Pinkham Ryder. His words strike a chord, par ticularly now when so much of what I’m seeing in in teriors is created by designers who deserve honor-roll status in nature’s classroom. Topics cover everything from organic shapes and materials to earthy colors and bold textures, and each is used to conjure spaces that are as compelling as they are comfortable. These days, who doesn’t want that? And given our autumn ritual of returning indoors, we crave it now more than ever.

With a nod to the season, this issue offers an abun dance of nature-inspired designs, as well as imagi native ideas and rousing gestures. Take the cover, for example. What you’re looking at is more than a dreamy bedroom; it’s a study in seductive materi als and extraordinary details. For designer AnneMarie Barton, a headboard was not enough. Instead, she fashioned an entire wall of reeded walnut and antiqued brass panels to serve as a luxe backdrop for layer-upon-layer of rich textiles, soulful woodgrains

and soothing neutrals. “It’s all about texture and warmth,” she explains. So too are the following pages.

In Mapleton, a home’s towering fireplace wall is uniquely clad in limestone smeared with mortar like butter on bread. “We wanted to come up with some thing unexpected,” designer Stacy Andersen says. Mis sion accomplished. Designers Rion Locke and Richard Miller delve into our renewed love for brown. “It’s definitely a comfort color,” Miller explains. Leather, too, is all the rage, and fabulous furnishings feed our affection for it. No-fail neutrals enrich today’s sooth ing paint palettes, leafy patterns enliven delightful wallpapers and food editor Tara “Teaspoon” Bench serves an apple cake that heralds autumn’s most cel ebrated crop. Naturally, this issue covers it all.

BEAUTY SLEEP

Beds are for sleeping, but that doesn’t mean their styling should be a snooze. Designer Allison Campbell compiles a cheat sheet for fashioning the bed of your dreams.

“WE ALWAYS START with a client’s favorite sheets and then add a thin, neutral-toned coverlet or quilt for warmth and texture,” says designer Allison Campbell, who has dressed beautiful beds for countless clients. With this foundation set, Campbell turns to a room’s style for inspiration as she selects and layers bedding to create the ultimate in comfort and style. “You can always expand on or pull back on any of these ap proaches.”

EDITED CONTEMPORARY

Upon the foundation, fold a covered duvet at the foot of the bed. At the head of the bed, lay two sleeping pillows flat with a sham stacked flat on top of each pillow. Place 2-3 Euro pillows face forward to hide the stacked pillows. Position a long lumbar pillow in front.

LAYERED TRANSITIONAL

Upon the foundation, fold a cov ered duvet at the foot of the bed, and either stack flat or set upright the two pillows and two shams at the head of the bed. Place 2-3 Euro pillows face forward with a long lumbar pillow set in front of these. Casually lay a lightweight throw or scrunched blanket across the folded comforter.

TRADITIONALULTRA-LAYERED

Upon the foundation, fold a texture-rich coverlet or quilt in half at the foot of the bed and top with a folded, covered duvet. Consecutively layer pillows, shams and Euro pillows upright and face forward at the head of the bed. Place two more 20-inch decorative pillows in front of these. Casually lay a lightweight throw or scrunched blanket across the folded comforter.

ON FOLDING: Fold the duvet at the foot of the bed in half or in thirds, depend ing on which best comple ments the size of the bed and the visual weight of the pillows arranged at its head.

ON MIXING: A neutral foundation allows for a mix of textural and/or patterned Euro, lumbar and decora tive pillows, as well as the duvet cover. “I don’t like shams that match a cover

let or quilt,” Campbell says. “Instead, use the duvet cover to coordinate with the shams if you like.”

ON COST: Splurge on the sheets and sleeping pillows. You can cheat a little on the duvet and the blanket laid across it.

ON SIZE: “Size does mat ter,” Campbell says. The pillows’ size needs to relate to the scale of the bed.

ON TOUCH: Texture adds interest and touchability and is more important than pat tern. All patterns should be subtle so that you don’t tire of them quickly.

ON BEDS: Ornate beds require much simpler bed ding while simpler beds can accommodate “wowza” bed allisoncampbelldesign.comstyling.

Utah artist Anna Laurie Mackay creates placeoriented images with nature-inspired hues

MIXED MEDIA ARTIST Anna Laurie Mackay begins every artistic venture by immersing herself in the land she then translates onto thin Japanese gampi and silk tissue paper. Once her memory manifests itself on canvas, she begins painstakingly cutting the material into thin strips that are methodically weaved together. The tedious process serves as a symbolic deconstruction and reassembly of her encounters. The finished works, like Knot shown here, are recast as arti facts rather than mere images, reflecting Mackay’s attachment to place.

Tara Teaspoon’s new cookbook inspires flavorful get-togethers with flair. file

HER NICKNAME says it all. Tara “Teaspoon” Bench knows her way around a recipe. As a former food editor and stylist for notables including Martha Stew art—and now a food-focused author, content creator and blogger—Utah-native Bench has penned and prepared countless mouthwatering dishes. When Bench visits Utah from her current home in New York City, she naturally stirs things up. “My mom and I love to cook,” says Bench, who also relishes entertaining. She celebrates both passions in her new book Delicious Gatherings: Recipes to Cel ebrate Together (Shadow Mountain, $35). “In my first book I shared my favorite classic recipes, and in this second book I share my entertaining expertise and

ideas for bringing people together around food.” That food is presented as a collection of splen didly photographed recipes, teamed with tips and how-tos for delivering flair and flavor to your get-togethers. Bench presents it all in five sec tions including “Main Events,” “Serious Sides,” “Breakfast and Brunch,” “Baking and Sweets,” as well as the opener “Gather-Around Dinners,” which showcases stress-free, full-course menus for an assortment of special gatherings includ ing holiday dinners—a timely offering for the upcoming season. “This cookbook is meant to inspire you and your family and friends to eat together,” Bench notes. “The recipes were created to make sharing them easy, so they are easily doubled or cut in half, depending on the size of your gathering.” But be forewarned: If you leave this scrumptious 272-page book out during your get-together, you may be asked to share it as well. tarateaspoon.com

TARA’S TOP TIP:

Read a recipe through before you begin cooking and even before you make your grocery list. This allows you to visualize the actions and the ingredients of each step. It builds confidence even before you start and helps your mind note when you’ll be adding ingredients.

THEBRIDGINGSEASONS

Inspired by autumn’s softer side, Leuca Floral’s Conner Nesbit chose dried date palm, golden fern and bunny tail grass to bring an otherwise late-summer pairing of glowing gazania and yellow lilies into the next season. Delicate carnations, banksia protea and hanging amaranth add bold texture while framing the main blooms in natural beauty.

BEYOND THE BLOOMS

Now is the perfect time to forage gardens and open fields for branches, brambles and foliage to fill out autumn arrangements. And don’t overlook dried grasses, ferns, berries and seed pods. They can add surpris ing form and gorgeous texture to your creations. To get the most hydrated cuttings, harvest them in the morn ing hours and make certain to give them a good shake to rid them of bugs before bringing the cuttings indoors. Remove any leaves that fall below your arrangement’s waterline as submerged foliage can rot and foster bacterial growth.

TIPSPARKING

Just outside Utah’s Mighty 5 ® national parks, these easy-access alternatives offer equally-impressive red rock slot canyons, sandstone cliffs and limestone plateaus—just in time for fall getaways.

Famous: Capitol Reef National Park

Nearby Fave: Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument

Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument sits in the same sun-drenched Utah backcountry as Capital Reef National Park. The All-American Road Scenic Byway 12 (from the north) leads travelers through colorful sandstone cliffs, narrow slot canyons, picturesque washes and seemingly endless slickrock. Hike highlights include Lower Calf Creek Falls and Spooky Gulch slot canyon.

Set up base camp in Escalante, which perches on the edge of Grand Staircase National Monument. Through mid-November, pamper yourself in one of Yonder Escalante’s luxury cabins, Airstreams or RV sites, and drive to nearby Boulder to dine farm-to-table style at Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm.

Famous: Zion National Park

Nearby Fave: Snow Canyon State Park

Snow Canyon’s Navajo sandstone cliffs share the same history and geology as Zion National Park to the east. Snow Canyon State Park is a hit with families and all levels of road cyclists, rock climbers and hikers.

St. George is a short 10 miles away. Book a room at Red Moun tain Resort, golf at Sand Hollow Resort, relax at the Green Valley Boutique Hotel and Spa and dine at Wood Ash Rye.

(CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT): Calf Creek Falls enthrall visitors of Grand Staircase –Escalante National Monument; a deluxe tent welcomes glampers at Under Canvas Bryce Canyon; views flow through an outdoor cabin at Yonder Escalante; foodies flock to Hell’s Backbone Grill & Farm; Dead Horse Point State Park takes sightseeing to dazzling heights.

Famous: Bryce Canyon National Park

Nearby Fave: Red Canyon, Dixie National Forest

As Bryce Canyon’s lesser-known neighbor, Red Canyon inherits road travelers en route to the national park but stuns them when Scenic Byway 12 runs directly through two red-rock arch tunnels. Unlike Bryce, Red Canyon welcomes mountain bikers, off-roaders and horseback riders.

Under Canvas recently opened its newest luxury experience, Under Canvas Bryce Canyon, just 15 minutes outside of Bryce Canyon National Park. Check undercanvas.com for availability.

Famous: Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park

Nearby Fave: Dead Horse Point State Park

The panoramic views from Dead Horse Point State Park are some of the most photographed scenic vistas, and this des tination sits smack dab in the middle of Moab’s two national parks. If it’s arches you crave, hike to Corona Arch and Bowtie Arch just outside of Arches National Park.

Reserve a campsite or yurt at any one of Dead Horse Point State Park campgrounds, where you can stargaze at night from this International Dark Sky Park. Or take the less rustic route by booking a room at Sorrel River Ranch Resort and Spa in Moab and grabbing a bite at any one of Moab’s in-town restaurants.

Designers Rion Locke and Richard Miller chose a brown rug to ground the seating area of a chic mountain home. An assortment of brown tones—ranging from soft tan to deep mocha—draw the eye through the space while enriching the décor with compelling contrast. European white oak floors and walnut cabinets deliver a striking brown backdrop.

There’s a special excitement in finding new virtues and accolades for brown, a color that has always enjoyed a permanent seat at the deco rating table. With its spectrum ranging from caramel to mocha, camel to cognac, brown is the color of nature and the comfort and warmth associated with it. For those who crave these reassuring qualities for their homes—which nowadays is everyone—it’s no surprise that brown is currently a top pick from the color deck. Brown’s capacity to nourish a space is well-noted by designers and decorators. “Brown is warm and inviting,” says Rion Locke. “It’s definitely a comfort color.” Locke and Richard Miller, principals of LMK Interior Design, use the earthy color to enrich and elevate many of the interiors they create. “Brown is a timeless choice that looks great with practically anything and everything,” MillerVersatility,explains.in fact, is key to brown’s appeal. The varied wood tones of oak floors, walnut cabinetry and cedar ceilings, for example, can create a uniquely rich-yet-re served backdrop for a décor. “Brown performs beautiful ly as a neutral, just as it does in nature,” Miller explains. And just as they do in nature, the color’s countless shades and hues complement each other in combina tion. In fact, Locke and Miller often layer furnishings, fixtures and finishes in a range of brown tones upon a canvas of wood surfaces to ground a space while moving the eye throughout it. The resulting contrast—at times subtly monochromatic and at others strikingly tone-on-

Beige-colored walls create a soothing backdrop for an abstract painting washed in tones of gray and earthy browns.

tone—“creates a rhythm” that elevates the look and feel of the rooms, Locke explains.

Brown also plays well with nearly all other colors. It fosters a calming, organic vibe when paired with today’s favored hues including sage greens, rosy terra cottas, moody mauves and luscious creams. For a chic, cooler palette, Miller suggests teaming brown with blue or gray. Even energized oranges and golds can create an impact, but be mindful of the patterns you choose, Locke warns. “Unless you’re creating a retro look, avoid the big florals and oversized geometrics of the ‘70s.” Miller offers other advice for keeping it fresh and new. “Create contrast and don’t go too dark with brown. Oth erwise, the look can be heavy and dated.”

Because most of us have natural woods inside our homes—flooring, furnishings and cabinetry—brown hardly seems as novel and noteworthy as many of to day’s flashier colors splashed throughout Pinterest and Instagram. And that’s part of brown’s appeal. It may be on trend, but “brown is definitely not trendy,” Locke in sists. More akin to black, brown is a sophisticated and a timeless choice. But while black can feel cold and aloof, brown is warm and welcoming. Given these challenging times, is it any wonder why we love brown, now more than ever?

A recent remodel not only results in a new workspace for its creators WOW Atelier—it also earns the Salt Lake City design firm a Best of the Best award for its skillful and surprising execution.

LEFT: “Traditional conference rooms have their place, but they’re not for us,” says Greg Walker, principal and cofounder of Wow Atelier. In this lounge-like alternative, finely paneled walls boast a “delicious” pistachio color that matches the studio’s storefront window frames. A channel-tufted booth runs the length of the back wall looking into the work space through drapery-framed openings.

ABOVE: A wall of storefront windows and double doors front WOW Atelier’s design studio, where Driade Nemo armchairs, original art and a contemporary chandelier are among the surprising elements that elevate the design of the newly remodeled space. “We worked hard to create a fertile ground for creativity,” Walker says.

WOW Atelier raises eyebrows. The wildly creative and boldly bespoke Salt Lake City-based architectural and design firm has the creative agility to design cutting-edge build ings and interior spaces as well as innovative ac tivations and provocative public art pieces. The Roadhouse and Mercantile hotel for Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab? That’s their work. The hip command center for Utah’s XMission? That too. Personalized residences, custom furni ture, Sundance Film Festival experiential spaces, Lagoon’s undersea wall mural—the list goes on. “Whether it’s architecture, interiors, furniture design or site specific art, we’re committed to produce the highest quality hyper-specific de

sign tailored to our clients needs,” says designer and co-founder Greg Walker.

So what happened when WOW became its own client requiring a new workspace? The firm took exactly the same tack, focusing on its own unique needs and wants as it imagined and cus tomized a fresh, 2,500-square-foot design studio.

Located in the heart of downtown, WOW’s new headquarters occupies the main level of a histor ic corner building dating back to 1905. Over the years, the space has housed everything from a drug store and a labor union to more recently the abandoned ruins of an Indian restaurant—all behind a facade of street-facing display windows. “We love that it has this welcoming, storefront look that makes it unclear what’s inside,” Walker

says. His team transformed the derelict interior with an innovative, down-to-the-studs renovation on a notably tight budget. This spring, their efforts were rewarded twice by the Intermountain chapter of the IIDA (In ternational Interior Design Association) who decreed WOW Atelier’s studio the Best of the Best and Best on a Budget during the organization’s annual award cer emony. “The judges were particularly impressed with how much WOW Atelier carried the project throughout literally all phases of the design process–from concept to documentation to implementation and fabrication,” says Julie Braam, past president of the IIDA Intermoun tain Chapter. “The project truly highlighted their skills as a design collective”

For Walker and his team, the space became a venue for expressive customization—a quality that’s apparent the moment one steps through the front door. Rather than a predictable lobby, an open workspace welcomes visitors inside, where a glass-shelved java bar and

high-top table suggest a swanky coffee house. Across the room, sculptural Driade Nemo armchairs furnish a small sitting area. Natural light floods the art-filled space while Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald croon over a high-tech sound system. “Why work in a space driven by tasks with no thought to an environment?” Walker asks. That doesn’t happen here. Workstations crafted from maple plywood inlaid with brass exemplify WOW’s mastery of details, as do two centered work tables around which team members gather to hash out ideas and issues. The tables’ hyperfocused design were driven by WOW’s distinct needs, with fitted shelves for drawings, ledges for books and notches and compartments for individual instruments and materials. “The highest scoring category for the Atelier HQ project was ‘Details,’” Braum explains. “It was apparent in all of the bespoke built-in shelving, booth seating and furniture that mindful attention was paid to every detail of this project.”

In the entry area of the studio and further back by the conference room, maple wood slats were used to define space while filtering light and creating a sense of privacy. The team laid LVT flooring in an oversized herringbone pattern to add interest, and they retained the building’s original brick walls. Performing much of the work themselves while splurging on design-elevating details, the team was able to complete the project while spending under $65 per square foot.

Light streams through the front window, illuminating the coffee bar area that greets the WOW team and visitors entering the open studio.

“We are obsessed with how a space operates, and this area was designed to be a nice way for us to start each day,” Walker explains.

WOW Atelier’s co-founder and designer shares a few desktop faves that inspire and enlighten his creativity.

While the front of the office feels a bit Scandina vian, the back leans French, Walker explains. Be hind a see-through wall of open bookshelves, float ing cabinets and maple slats, a pistachio-colored conference room doubles as a swanky lounge fitted with a channel-tufted booth, tie-back draperies, elegantly paneled walls and a chic minibar. “We wanted to create a transcendent, opulent space that inspires conversation and comfort rather than just work,” Walker says. Nearby, a cozy materi als library offers a more secluded place to create. There’s a touch of theater to the award-winning design, and that suits WOW just fine. As Walker explains, “Curating an experience is an obligation in architecture.”

In Sandy, a visionary team reimagines a decades-old property into Twenty & Creek, Utah’s newest luxury event venue. The results are worth celebrating!

An elegant staircase connects the upper-level bride’s suite with the spacious main-level hall. Spectacular architectural details include a 20-foot coffered ceiling, broad wall panels, and oversized baseboards and casings. “They layer details into the room and are scaled to suit its impressive size and dimensions,” Tom Fox explains. Broad sliding door systems open the hall to large patios and lush gardens in back.

Triumphant transformation is no easy feat. And yet, in the heart of Sandy, a talented team accom plished exactly that as it reimagined a decades-old event center into Twenty & Creek—a freshly con ceived and crafted venue for weddings, retreats, confer ences and celebrations.

One visit to the Sandy property and 20 chandeliers ago, Megan Bonham gazed at the ornate chateau-style venue and envisioned something new, fresh and timeless in its place. She purchased the property and then hired The Fox Group’s Cara and Tom Fox, Ferran Construction, land scape designer Emily Brooks Wayment and architectural designer Peter Fillerup to help turn her vision into reality. “Our goal was to have this venue stand the test of time, making it as relevant today as it will be 20 years from now,” Bonham says.

The team saw eye-to-eye on a basic premise: Twenty & Creek had to be a uniquely beautiful and enchanting

place where clients could make and memorialize their own special moments. But this objective produced a curious challenge: How do you create distinctive design that inspires and delights while still allowing each client’s individual style and personalized celebration to prevail?

“We had to create spaces that are warm, welcoming and elegant but not too taste-specific,” Cara explains. One of the best examples, the designer points out, is the grand hall. There, sparkling chandeliers, classic molding and a monumental cast-limestone fireplace impart ele gance and distinct character to the soaring, open space. However, the hall’s white surfaces, light-toned wood floors and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows deliver a blank, albeit gracious, canvas upon which personal style and festive furnishings can be easily introduced. “This allows each of our guests to truly create their own special moments here,” says Julia Seamons, project and facilities manager. Nearby, the venue’s ethereal cer

Twenty & Creek’s more intimate spaces are decidedly more design-driven and wrought with details that give each an opulent, bespoke quality. Handsome walnut paneling wraps the foyer, hushed hues and dressmaker touches charm the top-of-stairs bride’s suite and dark indigo paint cocoons the handsomely paneled groom’s retreat on the lower level. Luxe fabrics, patterned papers, gleaming marbles and brass fixtures create a decorative thread that embellishes the more private spaces throughout, adding surprise and splendor to the otherwise understated décor.

In the center of it all, a stately staircase elegantly de tailed with brass and iron railings gracefully connects

the grand hall with the bride’s suite above. One of the main hall’s three enormous handcrafted chandeliers sparkles overhead. One can easily imagine a gorgeously gowned bride slowly descending the stairs to join her groom and guests in the nearby ceremony room. “This place is all about moments, and we knew that a beauti ful staircase would be part of the most memorable experiences,” Cara says.

“For many people, this venue represents the best day of their entire lives. Love and happiness happen here, surrounded by family and friends,” Bonham explains.

“It was important for us to create an environment that memorialized those special days, which meant creating spaces that were iconic and could capture the feelings of each client’s special day.”

Preservation. Rather than take a house down, preserve it. Keep the stained glass windows, refinish the hardwood floors.

At the base of Lone Peak in Alpine, designer Anne-Marie Barton and architect Warren Lloyd fashion a new family home perfectly sited and styled to embrace its magnificent mountain setting.

AAn old proverb warns not to change horses midstream, but it says nothing about houses. Not that homeowners Brandon and Lindsay Rodman would have taken heed if it had. After hiring interior designer Anne-Marie Barton and architect Warren Lloyd to design and plan a new family home for their hillside lot, the couple discovered a second property in Alpine that was so spectacular that they couldn’t resist it. So they switched ponies, ditched the original site and building plans and then instructed their team to begin anew. “The new lot is unprecedented when it comes to mountain views, so it was all worth it to start fresh for this very special spot,” says Barton, who teamed with Lloyd and builder Steve Dubell to create the Rodmans’ dream home.

The prized property is located in Three Falls, a prestigious development tucked into the north end of Alpine at the base of Lone Peak. Lloyd responded to the lot’s sweeping views, wooded mountain slope and copses of native oak with a site-driven design. “We wanted to preserve the views and tree stands while limiting the length of uninterrupted

TOP LEFT: The kitchen opens to the living and dining areas in the home’s central pavilion. Barton united the open spaces with wire-brushed white-oak floors featuring a natural finish with a “hint of gray.”

BOTTOM LEFT: Warren Lloyd, principal of Lloyd Architects, and Anna Friend, project architect, designed the Alpine mountain home to include three linked pavilions of “simple vernacular gable forms.” The plan locates public and private spaces on opposite ends of the home with children’s quarters on the lower level.

ABOVE: “There is a key sense of informality that an open dining room provides,” say Barton, who hung a Lindsey Adelman linear chandelier above a custom dining table surrounded by Interlude brass-and-leather chairs.

walls, so we came up with a design scheme of linked pavil ions,” he explains. The garage, main living area and primary suite are housed in three separate “simple vernacular gable forms.” These are linked by more compressed spaces lead ing from one pavilion to the next. “We call them bridges that are intended to feel transparent and floating,” Lloyd says, describing connectors that include a mudroom hall, entry and adjoining office area and a stairway hall leading to the primary suite and the home’s lower level. This unique design promotes a comfortable flow that locates public and

private activities at opposite ends of the home. A lower level provides separation and privacy for the children’s rooms and play area.

The Rodmans turned to Barton to infuse their home with her discerning use of textures, natural colors and sophisticated melding of contemporary and classical pair ings that aligned with their own tastes. “This is my favorite style as it incorporates a sense of order and simplicity while also adding shapes and finishes,” says Barton, who conceived an informal décor defined by comfort and luxe

livability. “Our clients wanted a relaxed style, but they also wanted to be wowed.” To this end, Barton kept the palette simple, creating a neutral envelope that allows the views, furnishings, curated art and unexpected details to rouse the décor.

Connecting the indoor spaces to the majestic moun tain setting was key to the design and drove many of its most memorable moments. This is evidenced in the entry, accessed through a glass door and floor-to-ceil ing wall of glass and steel. The eye moves through the space, past an interior wall of glass enclosing a swanky office/keeping room and out its farthest windows to the landscape beyond. The succession of transparent walls allows natural light and breathtaking views to flood the interior. To warm the entry space, Barton used vertical white-oak paneling to clad its walls and to cleverly disguise the doors opening to a coat closet and powder bathroom. Large paintings and a cleanlined pendant light accent the welcoming entry. “This

Windows frame a light-filled “bridge” that connects the home’s main living and primary suite pavilions. Natural light and mountain views fill the passage and a stairway leading to the lower level. Barton curated art here and throughout the home including works by Jill Barton, Alex Gerrard and Zoe Maks. The chandelier is by Lindsey Adelman, the stair railing is by Metalmorphic and the runner is from Amadi Carpets.

LEFT: In a centralized kitchen uniquely furnished with three walnut islands, Barton fashioned the largest island with a modified waterfall design featuring Mont Blanc quartzite flowing only three-quarters of the way down the sides. Adding “a degree of sophistication,” the designer added touches of brass, including pendants from The Urban Electric Company.

space had to deliver, and it does,” the designer says.

At the home’s heart, the main living pavilion is equally distinctive with an open, communal design ideally suited to the busy Rodman clan. Beneath a soaring ceiling, the light-filled overscaled space consists of a uniquely central ized kitchen framed by open living and dining areas on one side and an open family room and breakfast area on the other. Barton anchored the spacious kitchen with three islands—one large and two smaller. “This creates

more of an experiential, self-service kitchen where no one gets trapped behind huge islands,” the designer explains. Contrasting cabinet finishes and island tops deliver a more “furnituresque” look for the kitchen, one than comple ments the nearby living and dining areas. Each of these boast its own special moments, from the dining’s linear chandelier and brass-and-leather chairs to the textured limestone-and-steel fireplace anchoring the living area’s posh sitting space. “The fireplace provides a contrast to the

ABOVE RIGHT: In the powder room, Barton integrated a round mirror into the back of the custom vanity to “create a sense of curiosity.” Details drive the room’s design, including an offset concrete sink by Lacava, lighting by Allied Maker and subtle touches of brass throughout.

RIGHT: Broad windows allow views in and out of the site-driven home, as seen from the covered entry. The exterior boasts a compelling marriage of materials including Indiana limestone, stained wood siding, copper gutters and a Tesla roof that generates sustainable power.

Unlacquered brass panels provide an ultra luxe backdrop for a pair of glowing pendants suspended above the primary bedroom’s stone-topped bedside chest.

subtle tones and concepts of the home,” Barton says.

The third pavilion’s primary suite highlights Barton’s mastery of luxe materials and tone-on-tone elegance. Rather than rely ing on a bed and bedding to drive the room’s style, the designer focused on the headboard wall, covering it floor-to-ceiling with reeded wood panels detailed with brass channels. At the end of the feature wall, complementary panels of unlacquered brass create an opulent backdrop for paired pendants illuminating one side of the bed while a single antique lamp lights the other. “Asymmetry adds to the visual interest,” Barton explains.

Throughout the Rodman’s home, the high level of architec tural moments and decorative artistry not only celebrates the mountain setting, but also elevates the family’s living experi ence. The site deserved nothing less. Lloyd explains, “The natu ral environment is so stunning that it attracts those who want to create and build something really special.”

A large St. George home deftly integrates family-friendly spaces with a lively mix of traditional and contemporary styles.

Dark walls create a dramatic backdrop for the music room’s handsome fireplace and colorful art above. Wallpaper by Kelly Wearstler adds eyecatching pattern and color to the ceiling.

OPPOSITE: A series of groin vaults crowns a wide hallway connecting the great room with the primary suite. The long passage is animated by arched double doors, faceted lanterns and an intricately patterned, white oak floor from Henriksen Butler.

LLooks, it is said, can be deceiving. Take this newly built home in St. George, for example. From the out side, its grand scale and symmetrical facade suggests a buttoned-up, stand-at-attention décor waiting inside the stately entry. Instead, a surprising mix of fresh traditional and laid-back contemporary styles defines the interior, delivering a relaxed, gracious look and livability that flows throughout.

The owners—a couple with five children— en listed contractor Rob Wyman to build the home, ar chitectural designer Shawn Patten to imagine it and interior designers Yvonne Christensen and Nichole Speirs to fashion and furnish its décor. After meet ing with the clients, Patten, principal of Creative Dimensions, set to work drafting the large family home. “The owners wanted something a bit different for St. George,” says Patten, referencing the home’s traditional manor style and formal facade featuring a prominent entry. Inside, spacious rooms, a flow ing floor plan and loads of natural light elevate his design. A great room, kitchen and master suite reside on the main floor along with a dazzling central hall way, kids’ study, and dining, guest and music rooms. The kids’ bedrooms and play loft occupy the second level, while a must-have indoor volleyball court, the ater and enormous garage fill the lower level beneath the house. “They wanted to hide the visibility of the garage’s bulk and doors,” Patten explains.

To play off the sunlight flowing through large windows and massive double doors, Christensen and Speirs fashioned a predominantly light-walled interior. With this luminous backdrop in place, they brought on the character. The duo peppered the in terior with dramatic darks: window frames, a fluted TV wall, kitchen cabinets, bathroom walls, doors and shapely furnishings all chicly dressed in shades of black. “Our client loves high contrast,” Christensen explains. Large-scale, black-and-white check floors in the kids’ study, laundry room and boys’ bath further tone-driven tension while celebrating the classic, checkerboard pattern. “We repeated this

flooring to help create a sense of continuity in the design, which is particularly important in a large home,” Speirs says. To her point, jewelry-like lighting, playful art, reeded cabinetry and a curated mix of rounded and angular forms similarly replay, performing like threads that tie the home’s spaces together.

The large interior is heavy with heroes. Take the central hallway, for example. “From the start, our clients wanted a long, groin-vaulted hallway,” Patten says. He responded with a wide, 45-foot-long passage linking the great room and primary suite. Arched double doors line up like soldiers beneath the numerous vaults, filling the space with natural light and views of the patios and pool. The designers hung a group of faceted lanterns from the ceiling, and below, they created an intricately

patterned floor crafted from white oak. “This space is the jewel of the home,” Speirs says.

The great room similarly delights with its chic, high-contrast kitchen outfitted with multiple prep stations, double islands and chic, brass-banded lighting. “We added extra pendant lights to give the space a beautiful glow,” Christensen says. In the nearby conversation area, a black reeded wall disguises the dark screen of a wall-mounted TV while creating a striking backdrop for a contemporary, leather-strip chandelier. Behind the wall, a separate lounge area for the kids keeps their action front and center. “Our clients didn’t want visitors upstairs, so they put the kids’ play and study spaces on the main level,” the designer explains.

ABOVE: Off the kitchen, a dark wall disguises the family room’s TV.

Glass doors open to the wife’s office space in the primary bedroom. “She didn’t want a separate, dedicated office,” interior designer Nichole Speirs explains.

The main hallway leads from the family room to the primary suite’s serene sitting area.

An understated, contemporary canopy bed creates a room within a room inside the primary bedroom.

Mural wallpaper and built-in benches create a whimsical reading nook in the upstairs hallway.

Equally compelling, the music room gets a moody vibe courtesy of dark blue walls and a ceiling dressed in Kelly Wearstler wallpaper. “We wanted the room to feel cozy and inviting,” Speirs says. Layered light ing plays a part, with a halo-like chandelier floating above a sitting area and art lights illuminating books uniquely displayed on inclined shelves set inside a wall of built-ins. “It’s a cleaner and more decorative way to display open books,” Christensen explains. Innovative details thrive in the primary suite as well. There, black double doors open to a cozy sitting area, smart glass behind the tub switches the window from transparent to opaque behind the tub, and the wife’s sleek workspace is cleverly set behind glass doors just steps from the bed. “The owner wanted her desk area in the bedroom rather than in a dedi cated office space,” Speirs says.

Together, all of the home’s spaces delivered exactly what the owners had hoped for. In fact, Christensen explains, their clients had compiled a wish list for their perfect home years ago and found these old notes midway through the building process. They couldn’t have been more delighted. “It was a real moment of gratitude when they realized the home they had always dreamt of had come to fruition,” she says.

SStacy Andersen and Joey Johnson had the itch. As the owners and principal designers of Remedy Design Firm, the duo had fashioned new homes for many others, but now they wanted to create one without a client in tow. “We wanted to push our own style and design without the caution and consider ations that are part of working for a homeowner,” Andersen says. The duo teamed with Curtis Design Group’s Mitch Lee and R.C. Dent Construction’s Scott Dent, and together they conceived and crafted a custom home on a ribbon of property in Mapleton.

“We wanted to come up with something unexpect ed,” Andersen says. Architectural designer Lee de vised a moderately sized, contemporary-meets-oldworld style home befitting both the neighborhood and the challengingly long, narrow site. “It’s basically a rambler that’s very linear with a maximum of

two rooms deep, front to back,” Lee says. From the outside, the lofty great room, clad in dark siding and loaded with windows, teams with a tall, glass-fronted staircase to make the house appear much larger— more like a 1 1/2 story home, Lee explains. A highcontrast palette, wide-plank siding and mixed stone deliver contemporary flair while swooping roof lines, bay windows, shallow soffits and an arching buttress nod to the past. “It’s more of a modern Tudor without any of the gingerbread,” says Johnson, noting the lack of brick or decorative half-timbering characteristic of many Tudor Revival homes.

Inside, the home is light-filled and open, making the main level’s 2,400 square feet feel spacious and inviting. The front door opens into the great room, located at the east end of the home. There, gener ous light, mountain views and strong architectural

A brick wall creates an intriguing backdrop for a span of dark shelving. “Rather than built-in cabinets, we chose open shelves that allow the brick detail to show through,” says designer Stacy Andersen.

elements prevail. The gallery-like space hosts the main gathering and entry areas, and it features a 15-foot vaulted ceiling, soaring windows and lime stone-clad fireplace wall. “This is one of the key moments in the home,” says Lee, who adjoined the great room with the home’s open dining and kitch en spaces. A main corridor leads from the kitchen to an office, staircase and a secluded primary suite beyond. “We organized the rooms to maximize the views, the flow and the light,” Lee says. Nothing feels tight or pinched. “We were excited that this isn’t an overly large home, and because the house is narrow, we used an open concept to make it work,” Johnson adds.

For the interiors, the designers craved a calm but compelling décor with a European sensibility, a neutral palette, and lots of natural elements and en gaging textures. “The world is such a chaotic place, so we wanted to create the clarity and serenity that an uncluttered home provides,” Johnson says. Peaceful interiors, though, don’t prevent spirited statements. In the light-filled great room, for ex ample, mortar is spread like butter on bread across a towering wall of blended limestone before being partially wiped away. “It resembles an old European cottage,” Andersen says. In the primary bedroom, herringbone-patterned planking animates a deep ceiling tray. The designers also coupled the office’s wood floor with a walnut ceiling above. “They’re the caps and boots of the room,” Johnson explains. Intriguing lighting fixtures also pepper the décor. Airy iron chandeliers hang above the dining table while nearby, milk glass pendants and brass-shad ed wall sconces illuminate the kitchen with their

SECRETS

Stacy Andersen and Joey Johnson focus on subtle details and clever techniques to conjure the great room’s inviting, timeless style.

In the great room’s spacious and light-filled space, furniture and rugs delineate the gathering and entry areas, while the warm white walls and ceiling serve as a sooth ing backdrop for striking architectural details and a curated combination of fabrics, furnishings and TRADEfixtures.

MIX IT UP

A mix of fully upholstered sofas and skirted chairs anchor the sitting area with transitional and traditional styles while contemporary open-framed tables deliver lighter, airier forms. Curves soften the décor while streamlined linear elements lend an uncluttered modern edge. Textiles and leather deliver a mix of dark and light, patterned and solid, smooth and richly textured.

ADD AGE

A classic fireplace surround gleams on a limestone wall deliberately aged with mortar spread across its surface before being partially wiped away. “It feels old and a little monochromatic,” Andersen says. The designers rejected built-in cabinets and shelves for the wall in an effort to accentuate the stone surface and the room’s open, spacious feel.

MAKE AN ENTRY

Andersen and Johnson use a table and rug, rather than walls, to define the home’s entry space. The table aligns with a door leading to the covered patio outdoors. “The table is a welcoming, sculpture-like piece,” Johnson explains.

STRAY SYMMETRYFROM

To relax the décor and ease the formality of the great room’s balanced architecture and furniture placement, the designers layered framed art on the fireplace mantle in an asymmetric style.

divergent forms. “Lighting is particularly difficult to get right in open spaces,” Andersen says. “It’s really a balancing act.”

Andersen and Johnson have a penchant for el evating calm color palettes with generous texture. Nubby rugs anchor furniture groupings atop nar row-planked wood floors, loosely grouted brick backs the kitchen’s range wall, and lux linens and leather pillows dress the numerous beds. Shots of tonal contrast are also pivotal to the design of the main level and the walk-out lower level. Creamy white cabinets set off the kitchen’s walnut island, dark sofas add visual weight to the light-washed living room and black glass-front towers rise from

pale stone countertops in the primary bathroom. Throughout the home, rounded forms mix with strong lines and sharp angles, adding more contrast. “The curves also soften the design,” Johnson explains.

While the home’s narrow lot provided chal lenges, it also inspired the home’s moderate size and scope—a boon for the designers. “A lot of large homes seem to lose their way,” Andersen contends. “The design of some of their rooms is really strong, but it peters out in others.” But not here. Johnson explains, “We were committed to creating beautiful spaces and special design mo ments throughout the house.”

A covered patio area creates secondary lounge and dining areas off the back of the home.

APPLES

The fresh-picked favorite that makes us so happy autumn has arrived.

BY AVREY EVANS

Featured in her new book, Tara “Teaspoon” Bench’s Apple Pudding Cake with Butter Sauce is her all-time favorite dessert. It may become yours as well.

H“Hands down, this is my alltime favorite dessert,” says Tara “Teaspoon” Bench, author of Delicious Gatherings: Recipes to Celebrate Together (see page 28). The rich apple cake re minds her of the dense steamed puddings her grandma used to make and she serves it yearround, especially during peak apple season in the fall. “It’s subtly spiced and full of the tart and sweet taste of apples, plus crunchy pecans,” Bench says.

Apple Pudding Cake with Butter Sauce

SERVES: 12 TO 14

HANDS-ON TIME: 40 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME: 2 HOURS, 55 MINUTES

APPLE PUDDING CAKE

2 cups (256 g) all-purpose flour

1 cup chopped pecans ½ teaspoon nutmeg

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon fine salt 4 cups grated apple, any variety, from 3 to 4 cored apples

½ cup unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan

2 cups granulated sugar, plus more for pan 2 large eggs

BUTTER SAUCE

¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) unsalted butter

3 cups granulated sugar

1 ½ cups (12-ounce can) evaporated milk 4 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1. For the cake: Heat oven to 350 F. Brush a 10- or 12-cup bundt pan generously with extra butter. Sprinkle pan with extra sugar, then tap out excess. Set pan aside.

2. Stir together flour, pecans, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

3. In a food processor or with a box grater, shred apples with the skin on. You should have 4 cups grated apple.

4. In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar with the paddle attachment. Add eggs and beat until mixture is fluffy. Stir in apples (and any juice they produce) and flour mixture until completely combined. Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top.

5. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and cake pulls slightly away from the sides of the pan, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Tent cake with foil for the last half hour of baking to prevent over-browning.

6. Let cool on a wire rack, about 20 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack to remove from pan. Let cool completely.

7. For the butter sauce: In a saucepan over medium-low heat, simmer all butter sauce ingredients, stirring, for 12 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Sauce will thicken as it cools. Serve the sauce warm over slices of cake, or serve sauce on the side and let guests add a generous amount of warm sauce to each slice of cake. Garnish with apple crisps, if desired. (Recipe on right)

NOTE: The cake and sauce can be made a day in advance. Allow both to cool completely before storing. Cover cake with plastic wrap and store at room temperature. Refrigerate butter sauce and reheat in microwave or saucepan to serve.

Ripe for Picking

AT UTAH’S ORCHARDS AND FRUIT FARMS, APPLE-PICKING SEASON IS IN FULL SWING.

RILEY’S ORCHARD The family-run farm opens their u-pick orchards to the public in early August through November. 294 N. 800 East, Genola; 850 W. 700 North, American Fork, rileysorchard.com.

TARA’S APPLE CRISPS

2 Confectioners’apples sugar, for dusting

1. Heat oven to 250 F. Thinly slice apples using a mandoline. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a Silpat liner.

2. Use a sieve to lightly dust both sides of each slice with confectioners’ sugar.

3. Bake one to two hours, turning apples over once during baking. To test doneness, remove one slice and let it cool. Done apples will be crispy when cooled.

4. Remove from oven and quickly transfer apples to a wire rack and let cool.
