EDITOR’S NOTE
Photo op I’m a sucker for photos of beautiful rooms and gardens. My shelves are packed with years-old copies of dog-eared decorating and landscape magazines and tables throughout my home are stacked with imageladen design books. How fortunate am I then to have a career focused on curating such photos, collaborating with the talented pros who take them and writing about the spaces they capture? For those of us obsessed with houses and gardens, images of beautiful spaces reward us with more than eye-candy, although the visual sugar high can be payoff enough. We see the shots as invitations to step into the featured rooms and landscapes, a chance to try them on for size. We can snoop, savor and imagine ourselves living inside the images all from the comfort of our sofas. And we can come and go as we please. Call it a free trial of sorts. Frequently, we come away inspired, armed with a refreshed vision of the look and feel we want for our own rooms and how we would like to live in them.

Throughout the following pages, a bounty of spectacularly photographed spaces beckon. Where would you like to spend time? Perhaps it’s inside Rachel Parcell’s blushing pink dressing room featured on our cover. Its couture décor and curated contents are dazzling—as are her home’s other rooms featured in this issue (page 70). Craving something more high-octane? Step into designer Kristin Rocke’s recent project, a striking family room infused with confident colors, fearless patterns and dynamic details (page 62). You’ll also want to linger in the light-filled, Scandi-inspired spaces of Tom and Tashina Karren’s Lehi home (page 82) and gaze at canyon views from Kara DiOrio’s masterfully remodeled Avenues house (page 94). Page after page of picture-perfect spaces await your arrival. You’re welcome anytime.

“Consult the genius of the place in all; That tells the waters to rise, or fall; Or helps th’ ambitious hill the heav’ns to scale, Or scoops in circling theatres the vale; Calls in the country, catches opening glades, Joins willing woods, and varies shades from shades, Now breaks, or now directs, th’ intending lines; Paints as you plant, and, as you work, designs.” -Alexander Pope

Homeowner Rachel Parcell, dressed in one of her new spring fashions, sits at her kitchen’s impressive marble island fabricated by European Marble & Granite. OPPOSITE: A mix of honed marbles, installed in intricate patterns, delivers a decidedly Parisian vibe to the grand entry. Masterful craftsmanship abounds, including the reeded finish that clads the curved wall below the custom balustrade and the large, stately panels that adorn the wall behind it. An antelope-patterned stair runner finishes the space with undeniable panache.

“I selected a neutral color palette to complement the natural surroundings and never compete with the landscape, no matter the season,� says homeowner and designer Kara DiOrio. Views dominate the connected living, lounge and dining areas on the main level, while art and carefully edited furnishings enrich them with color and character.
