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).

SPRING FORWARD

This arrangement exemplifies the exuberance of spring” —Pam Olson

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 0

“This arrangement exemplifies the exuberance of spring,” says floral designer Pam Olson, whose Native Flower Company is the go-to shop for those seeking one-of-a-kind designs, lush centerpieces and sophisticated, nature-inspired bouquets. Clients range from brides and CEOs to hostesses, event planners and those celebrating life’s special moments—birthdays, anniversaries, baby showers and yes, spring’s arrival.

So what’s the secret behind creating this lavish arrangement? “It has an organic vibe,” she says, “It’s a garden amplified.” Beginning with a burl bowl, the designer paired groups of sweet peas, anemones and hyacinths with others of paperwhites, amaryllis and hellebores. Then she introduced elegant lady slipper orchids. Mixing exotics with garden blooms is a signature move. “It puts the focus on texture,” she says. And the bunched blooms? “That’s the modern side of the design, the color blocking.” As if growing in a garden, the grouped flowers mix loosely with lush sword ferns, silver dollar eucalyptus and velvety pussy willow. No fluff or filler here. “Everything has a purpose and a chance to shine.” Notably missing are spring’s predictable pastels— shades of green and white prevail.

Olson explains, “This palette is classic spring, fresh and sophisticated.”

DESIGN IN THE DESERT Henriksen/Butler delivers a state-of-the-art showroom and a dynamic design center to St. George.

After a decade-long presence in St. George, Henriksen/Butler (H/B) has developed a new business park created to support southern Utah’s burgeoning design community.

While shops continue to sprout in this new design center, the anchor is H/B’s new headquarters.

It consolidates their showroom, warehouse and office spaces, allowing designers, décor buffs and homeowners alike to experience all H/B components in one stop.

“Our office blends hospitality, residential, commercial and office design all into one,” says Mark Hendrickson, principal designer and president.

The H/B team partnered with Rick Edwards, lead designer for all H/B showrooms, Riverwood Mills and MRW Design Associates to create the striking studio-style showroom. Concrete walls, wood-look

cladding and towering windows deliver contemporary, industrial style to the exterior and integrate the dynamic structure into the natural palette of St. George’s desert landscape. “This is truly a game changer for design in Southern Utah,” Hendrickson says.

Enter the open lobby, set below a cloud of Nelson Bubble lamps, and you’ll be drawn into the light-filled showroom and workspace curated with classic, modern products.

Customers can browse displays of flooring materials and wall décor, and drool over chic lounge settings and dynamic lighting fixtures. But the star is the commercial furnishings department, where modular walls and conference room layouts inspire brilliant design.

DISH

Herbs and spices are the palette of the kitchen— knowing how to mix, match and balance them is the mark of a true chef, one who can imagine flavor. For a long time, the American spice shelf was pretty standard, but in the last few years our pantry has gotten larger. Now chefs incorporate flavors from Indonesia, Africa and the Middle East as well as the ones we know from Europe, Central America, China and Japan.

The latest exotic appearing on menus is the spice blend called ras el hanout. The words mean “top shelf” and it’s commonly used in North African cooking. Like Indian curry or garam masala, every home cook has their own version, but most include cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, mace, allspice, dry ginger, chili peppers, coriander seed, peppercorn, sweet and hot paprika, fenugreek and dry turmeric.

“I am Israeli,” says Vessel Kitchen chef and partner, Roe’e Levy, “so ras el hanout is not exotic to me. I’m a spice freak and I use lots of spices from the Middle East but also from all over— Korean chili, sumac, kaffir lime, a spice blend called hawaji. We blend the spices ourselves. Ras el hanout is traditionally Moroccan and we use it for roasted chicken—the fragrance complements the chicken—but we use the chicken in other dishes, braised chicken and bone broth, for example, so the spice flavor carries through.”

Ras el hanout would be equally good on lamb, pork or even whole fish. Use it to give an exotic edge to tomato or vegetable soup (add chickpeas to your basic recipe) or to a lamb stew. It also adds excitement to vegetables—cauliflower, for example—or a mixed vegetable saute.

Find ras el hanout at Williams-Sonoma or online.

IT’S ALL IN THE MIX Make room in your global pantry for this North African spice blend.

Leave the green foliage and allow it to turn brown. It will supply energy to the bulb for next year’s blossoms.

Raise mower blades to between two and three inches following the season’s first lawn mowing. The higher blade promotes root growth, conserves water, reduces weeds and creates a healthier lawn.

Clip off one-third to one-half of new candles on evergreens to maintain compact growth.

JUNE Pinch back chrysanthemums and fall-blooming asters to create more compact plants.

Plant seeds and set out all warm-season vegetables and annual seedlings.

Continue to plant summer flowering bulbs. Plant a few gladioli each week for continuous blooms.

Rachel Parcell, Utah’s own social-media sensation, reveals a new dressing room as stylish and feminine as the fashions she designs.

BY BR A D M EE

PHOTOS R EBEK A H W ESTOV ER

L

et’s just say it. Mega-influencer Rachel Parcell’s million-plus followers are tickled pink. The fashion-blogger and social-media superstar has been teasing the reveal of her new closet, and today, she has finally opened its rosecolored, velvet-wrapped doors to let them in. The fact is, this is no closet, it’s a dressing room. And it’s everything you’d expect from Parcell—timeless, feminine, stylish and yes, blushed with pink.

Parcell’s rise to digital fame began in 2010 with her Pink Peonies blog in which she shared her life as a newlywed with friends and family online. Fast forward ten years. Parcell now enjoys celebrity status with a massive audience, as well as her own fashion and home décor lines sold exclusively through Nordstrom. She inspires fans with daily posts and advice about fashion, beauty, decorating and living one’s best life, just as she does with her husband Drew and their young family in Utah. The current stage is the couple’s new hilltop home, and today the spotlight is on the dressing room masterfully designed by Alice Lane Interior Design.

“I wanted it to look like the inside of a posh, elegant boutique,” Parcell says. She opens the room’s studded velvet doors to exactly that.

Sun pours through arched windows draped in silk.

It bounces off a pale pink ceiling, white cabinetry and gleaming silvered wallpaper that backs open shelves and wardrobe compartments artfully filled with Parcell’s curated fashions, shoes and keepsakes.

Parcell, dressed in a tailored dress from her new spring collection, is clearly at home in the neat-as-a-pin, highly stylized space. Over the years, she has engaged followers with fashion and beauty tips presented from the confines of her decked-out closets and has relied on orderliness to foster her artistry. “I can’t have chaos,” Parcell says. “I need organization to be creative.” This new dressing room has that in spades. Maintaining a system for hanging clothes, displaying shoes and storing bags is all-important. So is constant editing. “We made this dressing room a little smaller than my last one,” she explains. “I realized that too much space made me keep and display things I didn’t need or use, so we tightened things up a bit.” Fortunately, she didn’t pull back on delightful, eye-catching details.

Part of the visual feast, a dazzling three-tiered chandelier, hangs above blooming cherry branches, a fur collar and a tray of crystal perfume bottles, earrings and lipsticks. All are exquisitely staged on a marble-topped island anchoring the space. “It looks like a jewel,” says Jessica Bennett, principal of Alice Lane Interior Design. “The top is shaped like an emer-

PARCELL’S HANG-UPS The fashion sensation offers favorite closetorganizing strategies.

DIVIDE BY CATEGORY Dresses all go in one section, sweaters, skirts and blouses are separated and placed in others. “That way I don’t have to search through a massive rack of clothes to find what I need,” Parcell says.

COORDINATE COLORS Parcell organizes clothes from lightest to darkest in each of her categories.

“It looks clean and is easier on the eye when the clothes are color coded.”

MATCH HANGERS “Jumbled, mismatched hangers drive me crazy,” says Parcell, who uses only identical hangers and faces them the same direction. “It declutters rods and makes things look more uniform.”

STYLE SHELF SPACES Be creative as you store shoes and bags in open shelves. Arrange shoes by color and face some of them sideways to showcase their forms.

Use beautiful books as stages or backdrops for shoes and bags and accessorize with elegant candles, picture frames and perfume bottles.

SPREAD OUT JEWELRY Organize and lay out jewelry to capture its beauty and make it easier to see and select. “It’s difficult to choose pieces from a big heap,” Parcell says.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Osborn & Little’s Ponti wallpaper provides a shimmering backdrop inside cubbies storing shoes and bags. Chic fashion books elevate the style of the curated displays.

Mother and daughter dresses from Parcell’s spring collection hang on a brass-framed dressing mirror. Fashions available exclusively through Nordstrom.

ald cut diamond and its drawers have reverse beveled panels that meet on the edges for extra dimension.” Nearby, rows of elegant purses and heels gleam like a string of pearls in open shelves, plush antelope-patterned carpet canters across the floor and jewelry sparkles in glass-framed drawers. A gold-framed, full-length dressing mirror captures the luxe décor from every angle.

There are many “moments” in the room, and a lip sculpture displayed in an upper cubby is one of Parcell’s favorites. “My painter matched the signature shade of the lipstick that I wear every day and applied the color to the piece exactly the same way I do to my own lips,” she says. “It is a direct match.” The sculpture reflects the level of personal style that thrills Parcell’s avid followers. After waiting patiently to see this style come to life in her new dressing room, her fans are sure to be delighted.

HANG HOOKS Use hooks to showcase and coordinate fashions as you select them for the day or as you pack for a getaway.

Hooks also allow you stage fashions as a temporary pieces of art.

SHOWCASE BOXES Use beautiful shoeboxes to fill upper shelves that are empty and difficult to reach. “It looks finished and chic, and it’s much better than having clutter or nothing in those spaces.”

HEAVENLY WOOLS If you avoid wool because you think it’s hot and heavy, think again. The fact is, today’s exquisite wools are all-season sensations.

The fibers absorb moisture from the atmosphere to create a drier environment, so they help to hold in your body heat during the winter and help your body cool off during the warmer months. And wool’s feel is pure heaven. Prized varieties are super strong, sublimely soft, and boy do they drape. No wonder they’re a designer’s dream.

It’s spring and time for all things fresh and new.

In this special section, some of the most talented designers and craftsmen share tips for making the most of the spaces you have or those you want to create. Whether you’re building a new home, refurbishing a vintage camper, or just want to infuse your existing quarters with stylish charm, consider them your muse.

BARTILE BARTILE IS A local, family-owned business that’s been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles since 1942. Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating.

“We can create a shake or slate tile that looks like the real thing but will last more than 75 years without the fire hazard or maintenance issues,” says Nick Evans, general manager.

7 2 5 N. 1 000 Wes t, Ce nt e rv i l l e 8 0 1 - 2 9 5- 3443 b a r t i l e .co m

“With our gable options, designers and homeowners can create a true shake or slate roof at a fraction of the price.”

In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in Northern Utah. “Workmanship on a tile roof is key to its durability,” Evans says. “So we offer a warranty on tile as well as the installation.

We go one step further to make sure we get it right the first time.”

“We make one-ofa-kind dream roofs.

As the only custom tile manufacturer in the United States, we customize our roofs to meet very specific requests—and that keeps the business exciting.”

NICK EVANS / GENERAL MANAGER

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD? We have more than 700 custom colors, designs and textures, so we can literally create anything. If you see something in your travels, bring us a photo and we’ll make it for you.

EXCITED ABOUT: Yorkshire Cottage handmade tiles that recreate the look of both the rough hand-hewn slate and handsplit wood shake of old. With four different widths and varied lengths, Yorkshire Cottage tiles create multidimensional texture. And, they’ll last three times longer and can cost half as much as a wood roof.

FRESH IDEAS: Legendary Slate or Legendary Split Timber tiles are the ideal complements to modern or contemporary homes. Perfect for low-pitched roofs, these tiles create a free-flowing pocket of air that helps insulate the house and keep cooling costs down.

INSIDE OUT ARCHITECTURALS, INC. THIS IS NO ORDINARY SHOWROOM. Inside Out Architecturals is the ultimate art tile destination in Utah. From wood parquet to glass, custom mosaic to historical ornamental, its lines are sourced from more than 50 different global manufacturers.

Owner Leah Wynn and her team­—Anna Ayala, Sarah Pennington Booher, Sue Lindquist and Swarnali Satpathy—gather exemplary artisan lines to help clients recreate authentic designs.

The showroom is loaded with the latest trends and colors.

The print quality used to create porcelain tiles replicating other materials is so good they look like the real thing. “Sometimes you just need to touch it to see if it’s real,” says owner Leah Wynn. In the next few years, porcelain tiles that resemble wood parquet will be used in unusual places like steam showers. “You’ll look twice because of the atypical placement,” Wynn says.

Rare and precious stone are also being imitated more effectively. “These new tiles give everyone an opportunity to dramatically accent their spaces more economically,” she says.

Close your eyes and envision the typical Utah family room. You’re picturing wood, white walls and maybe stone? A beefy fireplace shouldering a mantle with a big-screen TV above? Perhaps a leather sofa, a boxy coffee table and a ho-hum rug under it all? Frankly, who can remember?

And that’s the point, according to interior designer Kristin Rocke. “Our rooms should be memorable; they should reflect our personal styles.” Her clients Nora and Ryan Peterson agree. So when they decorated their modestly sized family room—part of the redesign and rebuild of their 1929 house—they wanted something unique and as colorful as their active family. Rocke delivered that, and more.

“The room is lively and exuberant, just like the Petersons,” says Rocke, who conjured a spirited space filled with gutsy colors, patterns and an innovative fusion of materials—her take on maximalism. “This design is abundant, which is great because maximalism works really well in small spaces,” she says. “It is easier to control in a confined area rather than in a house of huge, open rooms.”

But how do you pack so much design into a compact space? “Look at it overall and it reads like a big mashup, but it is actually really cohesive,” Rocke explains. Look at each separate part, she suggests. “It’s not simply more is more. It’s really good more, all carefully considered.” Madcap? No way.

“That sounds delirious. This is too studied and edited.” And most importantly, it’s all about the Petersons. “It’s authentic to the owners and the house. It’s their signature style, and I was so fortunate to work with them and bring it to life.” Here’s how she pulled it off.

FIREPLACE The family room opens to the dining and kitchen areas and is framed in by three walls: a window wall, an art wall and a fireplace wall. The latter required a bold overhaul. “It was a bare, new-construction fireplace simply faced with drywall,” Rocke recalls. She reconfigured it into a decidedly asymmetrical feature wall packed with

savvy storage, dynamic display space and memorable materials. To maximize storage options, Rocke positioned the raised firebox off-center and above, she created a large TV compartment hidden behind sliding walnut panels. “TVs suck the energy out of a room, so I needed ours to disappear,” Nora says. Rocke loaded the space to the right of the firebox with storage and display space that includes open, adjustable shelves and deep cubbies—each crafted from black rift-sawn oak set into the surrounding walnut. “The contrast breaks up the boxes and segments the built-ins,” she explains.

Dimensional, metallic-glazed tiles surround the firebox with eye-catching texture and pattern.

COLOR Nora’s love for blue-greens inspired the palette of blue tones Rocke used to ground the family room and serve as a common thread tying interior spaces together. Then she crafted a kaleidoscope of vibrant accents. “I’m a florist and I love color, but I was shunning it for something neutral,” Nora recalls. “Kristin called me out on that. She said ‘This is you’ and gave me permission to embrace it.” As

a result, a color-washed mottled blue rug spans the family room’s oak floor, while a custom sectional— cleverly upholstered in three complementary blue-toned velvets— anchors the space with a low, modern form. Like a seasoned chef, Rocke skillfully added spice, tossing in joyous hues with pillows, throws, chairs, art and accents.

Despite the assortment of exuberant colors, textures and patterns, the combined effect reads as inviting and at ease.

“You don’t need someone to hold your hand in this space. The liveliness is really comforting,” Rocke explains. Of course, she admits it’s not for everyone. “You couldn’t put a quiet, unexpressive person in this room. It wouldn’t be a fit.”

WALLPAPER “To make a space really good, you have to turn the dial past perfect,” Rocke says.

“That’s what this wallpaper does.” Nora preferred working in stages to create this room’s décor, and the wallpaper was the final step to completion. Rocke proposed a big, adventurous graphic by Black Crows Studio, custom printed in gray and a white that matches the ceiling’s White Dove paint by Benjamin Moore. She reminded her clients that it is only wallpaper. “If you hate it, we can take it down.” But Nora, who dislikes small, repetitive patterns, naturally loved the choice. “It is so out of the box,” she says.

BALANCE “Asymmetry is dynamic and has more energy, but it is kind of a sharp blade,” Rocke says. “You have to be conscientious of keeping it in check.” To deliver a sense of comfort to a room defined by asymmetry, she created overall balance. She equalized the visual weight of the fireplace wall with the large, elongated sectional sitting across from it. Similarly, she countered the run of windows with a pair of matching swivel chairs that mirror the windows’ symmetry. Finally, she positioned statements of color throughout the space to create carefully choreographed rhythm.

“They let the eye travel and not get stuck in any one spot,” Rocke says. “In the end, this is a lively, get-up-and-dance kind of space and suits the Petersons perfectly.”

MIX MASTER

Artist Rob Mellor’s exuberant paintings deliver a 1-2-3 punch of color, pattern and composition.

BY MEGAN BARTHOLOMEW

Few things have the power to make this family room’s bold wallpaper appear neutral, but artist Rob Mellor’s canvases entitled Oracle and Tumbled Under certainly do. Inspired by Mellor’s childhood love of comic books, a lifetime of studying contemporary artists and the everyday juxtapositions he spots, these and the artist’s other abstract paintings captivate with three key constants.

COMPOSITION

PATTERN

as well as sweeping strokes to remind the

Pattern is a key ingredient in Mellor’s works. Nearly all of his eye-catching paintings begin with designs drawn from high-fashion fabric scraps, which he arranges, photographs and manipulates digitally to perfection before transforming the image with color and bold, brush-stroke compositions. “Pattern for me equals unlimited potential.

Every time you tweak it, you can regenerate something entirely new that gives a work a new direction,” he says.

Mellor enlists his “maddening visual awareness” to bring everyday juxtaposition of objects to his art. Sometimes those inspirations manifest in the digital phase, some are expressed in the physical act of painting. This layering of divergences culminates in the final works: pieces that Mellor describes as “visual occurrences” rather than as any set painting style.

Each occurrence features stark contrasts, viewer of the fluid nature of the paint.

COLOR If Mellor’s married forms and patterns are the mortar of his art, color is his wrecking ball. Splashes of coral intentionally disrupt the composition of Mellor’s pieces displayed in the Peterson’s living room, leaving viewers scratching their heads over the discordant decision. “I think that’s a sign of a successfully interesting painting,” he explains. robertmellor.art; @rob_m_art

Rachel Parcell is a nester. That much we know. After all, the digital queen frequently shares captivating photos of her family’s new home with her million-plus followers and proudly posts its delightful spaces online. What’s more, she recently expanded her efforts beyond fashion design to home décor, also sold through Nordstrom. “I am such a homebody, so my house is super important to me,” she explains.

Not surprisingly, the homes of tastemakers and fashion designers often reflect their devotion to style, and so it is with Rachel. One need only cross the threshold of her home to discern her affection for alluring surroundings and the love she and husband Drew have for the house they designed and created together. And it all started with the views.

The 14,000-square-foot house sits high on a bluff, affording jawdropping vistas of lush valleys and sky-reaching mountain peaks.

“They’re absolutely majestic,” Rachel says. “We bought the property for the views and thought that we would build on it sometime down the road.” Then the couple began dreaming over draft paper, and the project began to roll.

Drew and Rachel conceptualized the house down to the smallest detail and enlisted architectural designer Colton Broadbent to help realize it through renderings. Drew, a builder by trade, performed as the project’s general contractor, and Rachel tapped Alice Lane Interior Design to design the home’s enchanting spaces. The firm had imagined décors for Rachel in previous homes and understood her style completely. “It’s timeless and traditional with French and European influences,” explains designer Jessica Bennett, principal of Alice Lane.

Luxurious-yet-livable style permeates every corner of the home, including those in the main living area, where expansive windows frame heady views and flood the adjoining family room, kitchen and breakfast room with luminous light. While in the middle of construction, the Parcells decided to lift the family room’s ceiling by two feet to enable taller windows to fully frame the mountains’ snow-capped peaks. “It caused a four-week delay, but it’s the best thing we ever did,” Rachel says.

The 12-foot-beamed ceiling height also helps delineate the spacious family room from the open kitchen, where a 10-foot

78

ceiling and a pair of striking Ralph Lauren brass chandeliers overhang Rachel’s prized feature, the kitchen island.

“This is my favorite thing,” says Rachel, referencing an astounding, all-marble island surrounded by dressy leather barstools. “It is definitely a moment,” Bennett explains. While the kitchen’s other island is the workhorse, this monolithic beaut is for dining and entertaining. Its height also makes it an ideal spot for Rachel to arrange flowers or make cookies with her young children, Isla Rose and Jackson.

Notably absent in the floor plan is a formal dining room.

“We typically eat at the island and overflow moves to the breakfast room,” Rachel explains. There, walls of glass surround a round white table set beneath a chic chandelier swagged in coco beads. “I wanted a sun-drenched room, so we created this pop-out space with doors and windows all around,” Rachel says. Steps away, the home’s largest dining table awaits on the back patio, where the family lives and entertains by the pool during warm weather. “We’re outside all summer long,” she says.

“The floating tub is beautiful, but it also functions incredibly well,” Rachel says. “I take a bubble bath almost every night in it.” This time, the kids take a turn at soaking.

Providing a more private sanctuary, the master bedroom is a fantasia of exquisite Gracie handpainted wallpaper, ball gown-like silk draperies and layer upon layer of calming blues and creamy whites. Alice Lane chose a four-poster bed to lend a sense of intimacy to the overly large space. “It’s like a room within a room,” Bennett explains.

Nearby, a luxurious sitting area offers Rachel a private spot to relax with the family in absolute comfort. The master bathroom is equally lovely, with its pale painted cabinetry, richly veined marble and a floating tub finished in polished nickel. Separate his and her closets finish the master suite. “We have never shared a closet from the day we married,” Rachel says. A key to maintaining a happy marriage? “Well, yes, I think so,” she responds with a laugh.

At every turn, the home provides ample evidence of Rachel’s passion for all things pretty.

High-fashion details, engaging displays and intimate vignettes flourish throughout. “Regardless of the size or style of one’s home, anybody can elevate life by creating beautiful moments,” she says. “Special touches make any space unique and personal.” This sentiment inspires every space.

Of course, there’s still more to come. Next on the list is a pool house and a new nursery for the couple’s third child due in July. “We’re waiting to learn whether we’ll have a boy or girl,” Rachel explains. With the anticipated arrival come more design decisions that thrill Rachel. “I’m super excited to find out what color scheme we’ll create for the nursery,” she says. Avid followers, stay tuned.

Patience pays off. Just ask Tom and Tashina Karren. Seven years ago, the couple first saw a home created

by Ezra Lee Design + Build (ELD+B) and decided that one day they would have one of their own. “It was modern and unlike anything we had seen in Utah,” Tom recalls. Every year since, the Karrens toured each of the firm’s annual entries in the Utah Valley Parade of Homes, and their desire to own an ELD+B dwelling deepened.

“We actually put an Ezra Lee home on our vision board,” Tashina says.

Then on a Friday morning in early January 2019, the Karrens pulled

the trigger. They met with Ezra Lee and his team to discuss building a home and learned the process would take at least 18 months. “I have busy teenagers, so that seemed like a very long time for us,” says Tashina, so she asked what else the team had in the works. Lee mentioned a Lehi spec home planned for the upcoming Parade in June.

“We showed the Karrens the renderings, and Tom immediately moved to the edge of his chair,” Lee recalls. They had found their home.

“We dreamed of having a Parade home and this was exactly what we

were looking for,” says Tashina. She then asked Lee, “What do we need to do to make it ours?” Excavation was to begin the following Monday, so Lee suggested the Karrens take a look at the lot. The couple evaluated the site and returned 30 minutes later ready to buy the house—with one stipulation. “We wanted to add an underground sports court and a swimming pool,” Tom says. Normally, these wouldn’t be a problem, but the project was on a tight schedule due to the June deadline. These inclusions—particularly the sports court—presented a big timing challenge. “I really had to

think about it,” says Lee, who deliberated before deciding to go for it. “The Karrens signed the papers the following Monday, and we were off to the races.”

“I loved this house from the minute I saw its highly pitched roofs and black exterior,” recalls Tashina, describing the home’s surprising Scandinavian-inspired design.

Typical of Ezra Lee designs, this house is provocatively unique and thoughtfully conceived. And like others, it is modern but with a twist. “They all have an underlying modern tone, but with supporting styles that have ranged from

craftsman and Frank Lloyd Wright minimalist, to modern farmhouse and mid-century,” Lee explains.

Scandi style was something new to embrace and provided the simplicity and bold design opportunities his team craved.

Basic shapes and strong contrast define the exterior. “We stripped down the form to the point where it is geometrical,” says Doug Staker, head of architecture for ELD+B. “It becomes a box with a triangle roof.”

The gables transition directly into the exterior walls with no overhangs that interrupt the roof-to-wall connection. “This reinterpretation of the gable makes the design progressive and current,” Staker explains. The team’s use of materials does the same.

While stone, wood and steel are common to other homes in the area, the team applied them in innovative ways. Consider the profile of the standing seam metal roofing.

As the steep roofline transitions to the vertical walls, the dark metal’s upright ridges become recessed

channels, creating the structure’s seamless, charcoal-colored “shell.”

It dramatically contrasts with light, tongue-and-groove pine siding that clads the inside of deep gables, sheltering outdoor living areas located at the ends of the home’s wings. These include the striking entry, spacious balconies and covered patios. The resulting color blocking is joined by a horizontal series of darkly framed square windows and large, eyecatching cutouts that add dimension to the home’s simple shape.

Simplicity thrives inside, as well.

“Life can be complex, so people are moving toward simpler lifestyles and interiors,” says Landon Taylor, head of design. To foster this, the team created a straight forward floor plan devoid of tricky hallways or transitions. “It’s easy to understand and has a really nice flow,” Lee says. On the main level, polished concrete floors flow seamlessly from space to space and expansive windows fill the interior with views and bright, natural light. “The great room has

The interior’s palette is equally compelling and uncomplicated. Taylor painted walls and ceilings white and surprisingly did the same to the staircase and railing. “You don’t often see white on staircases these days,” he says. Taylor repeated the exterior’s pine siding on the main staircase wall and used high-contrast black to accentuate key elements including kitchen cabinets, a hanging fireplace, window

frames and even the casings around the doors. “This creates a picture frame around them,” he says. While color blocking and mixed textures drive the décor’s easy going style, Taylor added a few surprises to satisfy Tashina’s craving for a bit of glamour. The great room’s chandelier, for example, is like a tangle of brass-ended wands floating high above the space.

“It’s a show stealer,” Taylor says. The entry’s wine-colored sofa and bold art similarly pop against the uncluttered backdrop. “I loved how they pushed the envelope,” Tashina says.

In the end, ELD+B completed the home in time for the Parade—and with a spectacular pool and subterranean sports court in place. And that home on the Karrens’ vision board?

They now live in it. “It’s like a dream come true,” Tom says. “I have to pinch myself knowing that it is really ours.”

OPEN-MINDED Kara DiOrio tackles the remodel of an outdated Avenues home, transforming it into a celebration of light-filled spaces and clean-lined design.

“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.

“Why would I want to look at a tree in the middle of my house?” asks interior designer Kara DiOrio, referencing the antiquated atrium inside the 1975 home that she and her husband David Goldsmith found while house hunting in Salt Lake City.

The interior courtyard was just one of the outdated property’s many challenges, but the home’s views were breathtaking. Located at the top of the Salt Lake’s charming Avenues neighborhood, the hillside house overlooks City Creek Canyon and offers broad vistas of the mountains and the Great Salt Lake. For this couple, that clinched the deal.

“From the very start, views were the driving force behind our search,” DiOrio says. The designer also preferred a rundown home to one that had been recently renewed. “If not new construction, then I wanted a house that I could gut,” she explains. “I didn’t want to pay for someone else’s remodel that I would tear out anyway.” Armed with plans to bring the property into the 21st century and make it their own, the couple bought the house and the transformation commenced.

“The original layout consisted of small rooms, narrow hallways, a tiny kitchen and a choppy flow,” DiOrio recalls. That was exactly the opposite of what she imagined for the couple’s new nest. “I wanted an unobstructed and modern floor plan— one that would feel spacious, well-planned and uncluttered.” To that end, the designer widened hallways, moved bathrooms, ditched superfluous headers and

WHY IT WORKS

Savvy design and keen details create expansive light and inviting, open spaces.

• White walls, ceilings and trim flow throughout linking the spaces and creating comforting, space-expanding continuity. The single-color approach also allows the eye to move through the décor uninterrupted.

• To open the interior and foster the free flow of light, the designer widened hallways and removed walls. She also eliminated every unnecessary header, a trick that visually raises the ceiling height, opens hallways and heightens openings.

98

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 0

• “I left openings without doors unless privacy was needed,” DiOrio says. The designer also chose doors of sand-blasted glass for the pantry and master toilet room, creating a sense of openness and light.

• Mirrored walls and reflective finishes visually enlarge spaces, while maximizing the interior’s light and views.

• To elevate the ceiling’s modest 8-foot height, DiOrio rejected the use of crown molding and avoided unnecessary can

lights that clutter the overhead surface.

• Continuous flooring creates a seamless flow from space to space.

• To fill the home with natural light, DiOrio created a skylight from the original atrium opening, added and expanded windows and used window coverings only where they were need for privacy.

• Low-profile furnishings stay low to the floor, allowing sight lines of views and adjacent rooms to flow with minimum visual obstacles.

The original galley kitchen backed up to an atrium, so DiOrio melded both into one large, light-filled space open to views. She crowned it with a skylight—a remnant of the decades-old atrium. Devoid of upper cabinets,the kitchen’s black-and-white granite wall performs as a bold focal point, while white base cabinets by Craftsman Kitchens are timeless and storage rich.

To create the illusion of space in the small entry, DiOrio installed transparent glass railings and dressed the walls and ceiling in a blanket of white. The designer purposely kept the two-story stairwell wall free of art. “The eye can take in the full span of the wall, while moving past it to the canyon views,” she says. Pendant light

In the dining room, DiOrio balanced the reflective, hard materials of the hammered metal table base and black mirrored wall with the warmth of wood and curved elements, including an oval table top, cloud-like LZF pendant light and shapely Donghia klismos chairs.

doors, enlarged some windows and added others. To create more livable space, she removed unnecessary closets and storage features. She also scrapped that outdated atrium and used its space to help turn a tight galley kitchen into an open room characterized by clean lines, bright light and a high-contrast color palette.

Once the bones of the home were complete, DiOrio turned her attention to the home’s décor.

What had been a cluster of rooms throughout the 3,500-square-foot home is now a sequence of inviting, spacious rooms and uninterrupted vistas punctuated by eye-catching art, finishes and furnishings.

The main level’s open living room area, for example, flows seamlessly into the dining room. Mirrored walls anchor each space. “When we purchased the house, the living room’s fireplace wall, as well as the opposite wall in the dining room, were clad floor to ceiling in bronze mirror,” DiOrio says. “That has to go,” she recalls saying.

But after months of living with the mirrored walls, she embraced their power to visually expand the space and multiply scenic views.

She updated the mirroring—swapping out the bronze finish for black—and pared back the expanse of glass surrounding the fireplace. An intimate sitting area now fronts the fireplace and features an eclectic mix of old and new furnishings, as well as a texture-rich mix of materials including wool, wood, linen, velvet and rattan. “They balance the elements of mirror, glass and chrome,” DiOrio explains.

An adjoining sitting area cantilevers out from the upper level, leaving loungers with the feeling of floating over the landscape and verdant canyon. “I don’t know when this space was added to the original 1975 home, but the move was brilliant,” DiOrio says. So too was her decision to keep the area’s original fenestration and to paint its window frames white to match the walls, preventing them from intruding on the views. She chose twin loveseats that are low to the floor to keep sight lines clear, and included small round tables and organically shaped cowhide rugs to soften the rectangular windows’ strong lines and symmetrical pattern. “The space is like a little jewel box,” DiOrio says.

Among the designer’s fortes is an eye for intriguing lighting and compelling art.

This project showcases both. “I love art and always identify good art walls in a project,”

“Powder rooms are opportunities for bold design,” says DiOrio, who infused hers with color and pattern. Two key elements—a collage by Gary Vlasic and a Geneva Sconce by Fuse Lighting— drive the room’s style, while Dedar wallpaper wraps the space in a freeform loop pattern.

While the 1975 house was originally clad in wood, the couple stuccoed it for a cleaner, more modern look, as well as improved fire protection. Steel walls also serve as a fire barrier and help keep wildlife at bay. They also foster the design’s courtyard feel.

Wood decks by Cali Bamboo.

says DiOrio, who is equally passionate about light. “Good lighting delivers everything to an interior.” Because the designer prefers clean ceiling planes, she minimized can lights throughout and orchestrated a compelling mix of high-style fixtures. In the small entry, for instance, she hung a single Flos pendant that teams with loads of natural light to illuminate the space and a nearby stairwell, spectacularly updated with a glass railing. She intentionally left the two-story stairwell wall devoid of art. “Negative space gives the eye a place to rest,” she says. Not to worry, there are plenty of art pieces to occupy it throughout the interior, including inside the lively powder room.

There, DiOrio artistically combined a framed collage by Gary Vlasic with a blue-painted ceiling, bold wallpaper and a Geneva Sconce

from Fuse Lighting. “When I realized the paper’s looping pattern perfectly mimicked the sconce’s cord, it was a fait accompli,” she says.

Thanks to DiOrio’s deft editing throughout the home—from the serene master suite to the inviting living spaces, and the vibrant kitchen to the open patios—even the simplest details have the power to delight and the home’s prized views reign supreme. “They are ever-changing art that fill us with awe and gratitude every day,” the designer says. And that derelict atrium that anchored the original décor? Well, it’s a distant memory. Today, the couple’s focus is on enjoying the hillside home and the new design DiOrio created to bring it back to life. “Every day I pinch myself and think of how much I love it,” she says.

DINING IN & OUT

Mysterious

mushrooms Mushrooms are one of the strangest and most delicious foods to enter our kitchens.

BY M A RY BROW N M ALOU F

T

They’re neither animal nor vegetable, they can be hard to find yet they sprout everywhere, they can be poisonous or curative. Their spores can even survive in outer space. But the meat of the matter is that mushrooms are unique, delicious and good for you.

Did You Know?

Fungi Facts In the recent film, Fantastic Fungi, Paul Stamets, Michael Pollan and other experts say that mushrooms can save the world, or at least parts of it. According to the mycologists quoted in the film, mushrooms hold answers to disease, pollution, anxiety, depression and global warming.

There they are, right underfoot.

Mycologists point out to the intricate network mycelia (that's mushrooms and other fungus) form between the roots of trees, allowing them to communicate.

They attribute all kinds of healing properties to various mushrooms—cancer, infection, viruses can all be helped with the right kind of mushroom.

And before you raise your eyebrows through the roof, remember that penicillin comes from a kind of fungus. The first statins—cholesterollowering medications—were derived from mushrooms, and antibiotics like cyclosporin have been found via mushrooms.

We're only going as far as eyebrowraising—we'll leave consciousnessraising properties for other articles.

The fact is that mushrooms are an incredibly interesting life form, probably underused by humans, with under-recognized health value.

And, our main point: mushrooms are incredibly tasty.

How to: Clean and Cook Mushrooms For ages, we were told not to wash our mushrooms because they would absorb the water. So we laboriously used a damp cloth to wipe down each mushroom. A mushroom brush was presented as a dubious time-saving solution in the ’70s, but you still had to brush each mushroom. Honestly, you can just give them a very quick rinse, then toss them gently in a clean towel until dry. Most cooked mushroom dishes start with a saute, in butter or olive oil. I recommend sauteing them separately from your other starting ingredients like onions, garlic or celery, to retain the strongest mushroom flavor possible. Then mix the mushrooms with your other ingredients. Although mushrooms feel very dry, after a few minutes over heat they exude a lot of moisture. So keep the heat on high and move the mushrooms around in the pan so the moisture evaporates quickly. You don’t want the mushrooms to stew if you’re going to use them over pasta or rice or with a vegetable. If you’re combining them with strogonoff, just pour the mushroom juices in with the sauce.

Ramen Haus

FRESHLY PLATED

Mushrooms are sprouting on menus across Utah.

Morels and asparagus: These ingredients are the epitome of spring, and not much needs to be done to make them perfect when they’re in season. Oquirrh, 368 E. 100 South, SLC, 801-3590426, oquirrhslc.com Alpine nachos are a kitchen classic here: house-made chips topped with forest mushrooms, thin bits of speck and fontina cheese. Log Haven, 6451 E. Millcreek Canyon Rd., SLC, 801-272-8255, log-haven.com

Enoki salad: Enoki are startlingly beautiful on the plate and Chef Sergei Oveson is wise not to dress them up—a minimum of herbs and dressing just sets off the pure mushrooms. Ramen Haus, 2550 Washington Blvd., Ogden, 801-393-0000

House-made ravioli: The salty sweet of ham is a natural companion to mushrooms. Here, ravioli is stuffed with mushrooms and combined with prosciutto for a pure Italian dish. Sicilia Mia, 4536 S. Highland Dr., SLC, 801-274-0223, go to siciliamia.com for other locations

TAKE YOUR PICK

There are 10,000 different types of mushrooms we know about so far, but who’s counting?

Most Americans are used to the unassuming button mushroom— Agaricus bisporus was first cultivated on horse manure in France in the 1700s and now makes up 90 percent of all the mushrooms we eat. But there are thousands of mushrooms we know about, so far. Here are some of the more popular varieties you'll see in markets and on plates.

ENOKI Lovely, long and white, cultivated enoki are used in Japanese cuisine, notably in soups.

Generally eaten raw or barely cooked.

SHIITAKE Native to East Asia and used beyond the kitchen, Shitake are widely believed to have medicinal uses as well.

Keep an Eye on the Ground

Ian Campbell, general manager of Log Haven, is a dedicated mycologist but he doesn’t like you to call him that. Let’s just say he likes mushrooms.

PHOTO AUSTEN DIAMOND

Because we live mostly in a high desert, many are surprised that mushroom foraging— largely associated with damp European locales—is possible here. But in the Uintahs, foragers can find many varieties of mushrooms. Ian Campbell, general manager of Log Haven, is an avid mushroom hunter.

Don’t expect him or any other mycology fan to tell you exactly where to look, but he can give you some tips.

“I’ve been hunting mushrooms for 25 years,” says Campbell, a highly successful hunter.

He started by joining the Utah Mycology Society, learned some basics and then he was off on his own. “Once you find your first porcini, it’s easy,” he says.

Like most mushroomers, he has his favorite spots, not to be revealed to anyone.

The Wasatch and the Uintahs are both hunting grounds. “I’ll still go off Bear

Lake highway but that’s been discovered by lots of people, so my easy-access spots have been plundered. I do have a spot on the Eastern side.” And he offers a few more pointers: “The Wasatch yields morels and porcini, but if it’s been a slow bloom (dry year), porcini are often infested by maggots, so look close.”

“May is for morels—they look a lot like pinecones so they’re hard to spot; they’re smaller, and don’t grow at as high an altitude. You can also find them in grassy fields along the Weber River.”

He finds orange chanterelles in the Tushar Mountains in late August and September.

“Pioneer Day is for porcini,” Campbell says. “They come into season along with tomatoes. I like to grill them and make a sandwich on grilled sourdough bread with tomatoes and arugula from the garden.”

MORELS With their distinctive tall honeycombed caps, morels are easy to identify, even though they come in a range of colors, from pale beige to gray. Morels are still harvested wild.

MIGHTY ‘SHROOMS These fungi may look drab, but they’re packed with nutrients.

Color often indicates nutritional value in food. The orange of a carrot indicates carotene and deep greens tell of B vitamins. But drab mushrooms are nutritional powerhouses. Until you sauté them in butter or olive oil, they are low in calories and fat and have no cholesterol. In addition to fiber, mushrooms deliver all kinds of vitamins and minerals: copper, magnesium, zinc and potassium, plus assorted B vitamins and lots of antioxidants that protect cells’ inflammation. Most of the nutrients are in the caps, but keep the stems—they’re great for soup.

PORCINI Popular in Italian cooking, porcini are used fresh or dried and add a deep, nutty flavor to a dish.

OYSTER Yes, they look like oysters growing horizontally from a tree. Some say they have a vaguely oyster-like taste. They’re generally eaten cooked and are popular in Korean, Japanese and Chinese cooking.
