EDITOR’S NOTE

Good Point “We don’t call them junk drawers, they’re utility drawers,” organization guru Sabrina Gardner explained during our interview for “Top Drawer” on page 30. Really? Clearly, she hadn’t seen my kitchen drawer. Garden twine, charger cords and loose rubber bands tangled around three pairs of scissors, a ruler and a ring of old keys that opened who knows what. Tattered business cards and post-in notes cowered in the corners. It looked like a couple of meerkats nested in that drawer, and I dreaded opening it. Sound familiar? (In my defense, the silverware drawer to the left is an Insta-worthy picture of perfection.)

Gardner’s advice: “Empty a messy drawer entirely and begin fresh. It’s a game changer.” I did and it was. Okay, her tip didn’t actually knock my world off its axis, but it did put me on an enlightened path to purging (a.k.a. spring cleaning). Since then, I’ve tackled my desk, the hall closet and our entire guest room, clearing each completely before

20

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 2

putting back much less than I had removed. A clean sweep, you might say.

We’re big on tips here at US&D, and Gardner’s organizing advice is just the beginning of many expert pointers woven throughout these pages. We turn to in-the-know design pros and pundits who offer ideas, large and small, to help us make our homes all we want and need them to be. Of course, no two of them approach design and decorating exactly the same way, so learning the whys behind the whats—the reasons for their decisions—is not only uniquely informative, it’s inspiring. Plus, it makes for a great read.

Enjoy! As you peruse for pointers, I’m headed out to confront my cluttered garage. I may be a while.

BEAUTIFULLY OFF BASE Symmetry enjoys major hype, with its perfect balance and predictable forms. But don’t discount the allure of more avant-garde and asymmetric designs—they’re often the most memorable and magical.

That’s certainly true of the Narcisse collection by Baccarat. Imagined in 1971 by sculptor and furniture designer Boris Tabacoff, these off-center, fabulously faceted champagne coupes appear to mimic narcissus flowers as they lean toward the sun. Turn the page for more delightfully off-balance finds.

SHOP TALK

DESERT DELIGHT With a few bold flourishes and loads of lux, livable style, newly relocated Cosy House offers St. George a freshly fashioned home and lifestyle shop

beautiful, welcoming room. Cosy House—her recently relocated décor and lifestyle shop in St. George—is designed to help others create exactly that for their homes.

Previously located in the downtown historic district, Cosy House now sits front and center at The Foundry— St. George’s bustling new design campus. Part of a modern, wood-planked facade, Cosy House’s broad glass doors open to an inviting, airy interior crowned with a stunning, chalk-white chandelier. Banks of floorto-ceiling windows and multiple skylights flood the space with natural light, while the predominantly white décor serves as a serene canvas for Van Matre’s curated selection of furnishings, lighting, accessories and gifts for the home. “The style is fresh, clean, timeless and comfortable,” she says.

The shop itself feels like a welcoming home where wall-less rooms seamlessly flow from one to the other.

It features a wondrously accessorized kitchen area anchored by an open, marble-topped island. Nearby, inviting vignettes—conversation areas, bedrooms, dining spots and more—are defined by relaxed, livable luxury.

At-ease furnishings, natural woods, relaxed linens, glazed pottery, woven baskets, posh pillows and more entice visitors to pull inspiration, ideas and, of course, the perfect pieces for their homes. Design service is also available. Van Matre explains simply, “Your home should bring you joy.”

Prepare ingredients.

1 Tbsp. white onion (chopped), ¼ tsp. kosher salt, minced jalapeño (to taste), 1 Tbsp. cilantro, 1 medium tomato (chopped), 3 ripe avocados.

Quantities are approximate, so season to taste.

1

Make the paste. Put white chopped onion, minced jalapeño and salt in the molcajete and grind with the pestle until the juices release.

2

Score the avocado so that it comes out in small chunks, then you aren’t trying to break up larger wedges while overworking the other ingredients.

Fold in the cilantro and tomatoes gently.

GUAC TALK It’s Cinco de Mayo season, and it’s time to get mashing.

But before you do, prepare the paste.

Don’t even try. There is no way to tally the number of tips out there for making great guacamole.

But if you’re planning on mashing up some guac during this year’s Cinco de Mayo celebration— or any other time, for that matter—here is one of the best pieces of advice we’ve heard: Before you mix in the avocado, prepare a paste from other ingredients first. Why? Salt releases liquid from the onion and jalapeño. This combines with the avocados resulting in big flavor. These four simple steps—and a short list of simple ingredients—will sell you, too, on the power of paste.

GREAT IDEA

TOP DRAWER Out of sight, out of mind? Not for Sabrina Gardner. The master organizer created customizable drawer inserts that are practical, personalized and, yes, very pretty.

Necessity is the mother of invention.

This phrase certainly rings true for Sabrina Gardner, who recently started her company Salt, an organization business that specializes in custom acrylic drawer inserts along with a curated selection of other stylish storage products, instruction and mentoring. In March 2020, Gardner and her family had just moved into a new home in Alpine, and she was overwhelmed by stacks of unpacked boxes, a worldrocking pandemic and four kids at home from school. Gardner craved a sense of control and calm, and she discovered it in

30

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 2

becoming organized. But when it came to her drawers, she found little on the market that helped her marshal their contents in a personalized, orderly manner. “I thought somebody has to have a customized drawer organizer, but there really wasn’t anything that worked for me,” she recalls. So Gardner spent the next 18 months designing and developing a selection of customizable acrylic drawer inserts that she describes as game-changers. With names like Emily, Emiline and Lindsey, nods to impactful people in Gardner’s life, her 40 uniquely configured inserts are sparkling acrylic,

which is not only pretty, high-quality and recyclable, but also allows customers to clearly see a drawer’s contents, unlike mass-marketed opaque options. Plus, each insert is customized to its user’s drawer dimensions. The perks of organized drawers are many, Gardner explains. “They are empowering: They save you time and energy spent looking for things and save you from spending money on things you already have.” They’re also gratifying. “An organized drawer is truly a joy to open,” says Gardner, who cleverly took something universally aggravating and turned it into something she and the rest of us can celebrate each and every day. saltbysabrina.com

GARDNER'S 6 STEPS TO ORGANIZING A DRAWER STEP 1: Go into your space and assess how you use it. Because the kitchen is the hub of the home, it is most often the best place to begin.

STEP 2: Assign a purpose to every drawer or cabinet. Is it for silverware, cooking utensils or is it a utility (aka junk) drawer?

STEP 3: Take everything out and start fresh.

STEP 4: Emotionally disconnect from each pulled object and see the space with a fresh set of eyes. Get rid of clutter, duplicates and unused items.

STEP 5: Put things back in the ideal way to utilize them for the long term.

STEP 6: Revisit the drawer at least twice a year to maintain orderliness.

ON THE TOWN

RAISING THE BAR Laurel Brasserie & Bar delivers a décor that’s as delicious as its menu their match with the venue’s informal yet sophisticated décor. Conceived by an internal design team and NYC-based Home Studios, Laurel “is approachable and casual, yet it has some details that also make it elegant,” says Juliana Mehic, Interior Design Project Coordinator. Among these elevated design elements are vintage and custom furniture, handmade stone and ceramic tiles, bespoke carpets, glowing

brass street lights, and Verde Antigua and Verde Jasmine marble found throughout.

To best match the stylized ease and comfort of Olvera’s cuisine, the chic interior—accented with high arches and a profusion of rounded forms—boasts a main restaurant, two private dining rooms, and the star of the show, a full circle bar with windows overlooking the city. An intimate outdoor terrace expands the experience during Salt Lake’s warmer months. The term Brasserie implies a spirited-yetrelaxed décor and dining experience, and that’s exactly what Laurel delivers.

ver the past couple of years, we’ve found solace in mastering novel hobbies and diving deep into niche interests. For many, the involuntary global standstill inspired a sense of self-discovery and encouragement to find pleasure in life’s simpler things. The chance to look inward then became an opportunity to turn outward, even to our backyards.

Between meticulously restyling gardenscapes and rediscovering our love of landscaping, homeowners found themselves admiring other creatures residing in their yards, namely birds.

Colorful, vocal and full of life, feathered visitors offer observers a window into nature that is often overlooked.

Sparked by a renewed connection to wildlife, thousands of people have taken up the long-established hobby of birding during the pandemic. Sales of birdseed and bird-watching accessories skyrocket-

ed in 2020— the National Audubon Society reported a 50% increase in profits for birding retailers across the country. Even local shops experienced a rise in interest, including Salt Lake City’s Backyard Birds, a charming shop that sells quality seed, feeders, birdhouses, and outdoor accessories. JB Leonard, the store’s manager, says part of the excitement is a result of the diversity of experiences birders can have. “We have about 30 different species of birds that regularly come into our yards in Salt Lake,” he explains. “And every yard is different, so each person is having a different experience.” As novice birders become more adept, they’re able to curate specialized habitats that attract specific birds right to their back porch.

The increase in birding among younger generations is particularly interesting to wildlife conservationists, who see the hobby as a bridge between humans and the environment. Enthusiastic home

IN THE GARDEN

FOR THE BIRDS 4 Ways to Create a Flock-Friendly Yard 1. VARIETY, VARIETY, VARIETY Like all creatures, birds appreciate diversity.

Furbishing your yard with a variety of deciduous trees, perennial flowers and drought-tolerant grasses offers plenty of opportunities for perching and grazing. Verdant landscapes and blooming flower beds also attract other critters, stimulating a cohesive food chain that encourages birds to return season after season. Some of the most popular plants among Utah’s feathered inhabitants include “flowering peach trees, hawthorns and crab apple trees,“ Leonard says.

2. AVIAN MAINTENANCE A little maintenance goes a long way for birds that nest in birdhouses in your yard. Removing old nesting material between broods ensures parasites aren’t transferred to new visitors and keeps birdhouses up to snuff for years to come. But instead of tidying up during your spring-cleaning fervor, Leonard suggests waiting until after nesting season. “Fall is a great time to get up into the trees and give your birdhouses a fresh start.”

3. FIVE-STAR SERVICE If you notice birds snubbing your overflowing feeders, it’s time to consider the quality of your seed. “Birds can sense when seed has filler in it, like those small red pellets that many big-box stores add to their mixes,” Leonard explains.

Instead, opt for a fresh quality seed blend. To increase your chances of seeing a specific bird, try a seed mix suited to its palate. Chickadees and songbirds prefer black oil sunflower seeds, while goldfinches favor Nyjer seed. birders are restoring their yards’ natural habitats in an effort to draw more rare species of birds. Birders that venture beyond their homes might also be a potential source of funding for conservation efforts, as wildlife parks consider charging entrance fees, and the hobby motivates donations to ecological causes. It is estimated that requiring birders to purchase licenses to visit the U.S.’s 560 national wildlife refuges, like

36

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 2

those purchased by hunters, could raise an additional $1.1 billion for efforts like wetland protection.

Birding, a hobby once dismissed as a retiree’s pastime, offers an opportunity to reconnect with and rehabilitate our environment. As Leonard explains, “If we can rebuild the ecosystems that are typically destroyed when we build our homes, we’re giving back and learning to coexist together.”

4. FEEDERS IN FASHION An enticing seed blend is best served in an equally attractive feeder. Adorn your yard with colorful feeders that are as eye-catching as they are practical. If you’re trying to attract hummingbirds, which are sensitive to ultraviolet light, choose a vivid feeder in red, pink or orange.

Other species, like goldfinches and bluebirds, are more tempted by their own distinct colors. Where to place a feeder? “The answer is simple: outside your favorite window,” Leonard says.

uring the past 25 years, we have meandered through many flower beds, crossed countless lawns and trekked up and down endless hillsides in search of beautiful gardens and landscapes to showcase in our pages. Most often, we were guided by walkways that were designed as much for the journey as the destination. To help celebrate our quarter-century anniversary, we mined our archives for inspiring paths that charm us as much today as when we first wandered their way.

Mellow Yellow Bright yellow gets major hype for its sunny disposition and mood-boosting prowess, but don’t overlook yellow’s more muted shades. From buttery creams to icy lemons, they are equally upbeat, yet deliciously discreet.

Designer Hillary Taylor imagined a soft yellow palette for the sitting area of a Salt Lake City home. The classic patterns and warm, subtle tones foster the room’s soothing ambiance.

Pondering a fresh palette? We’re going to make it very simple for you: consider pale yellow. Forget what you’ve heard about yellow being brassy and overly bright.

The color has range, and because its paler shades are subdued, they’re joyous without being jarring. What’s more, many are nearly neutral, so they’re foolproof when used liberally in any space where warmth and cheer are prized. Or they can be injected in smaller doses as accents and accessories that blithely spread their happy hues.

Salt Lake City designer Hillary Taylor has a renewed affection for yellow, strong or subtle. “I’m in a yellow moment again, after about seven years!” exclaims Taylor, who likes to use it as the dominant color with “some real monochromatic punch.”

That’s the approach she took recently as she bathed a bedroom’s cozy sitting room in buttery yellow. The heartwarming hue teams with cream on plaid chairs, checked draperies and embroidered pillows. Barelyblue walls and soft-white trim round out

the décor’s comforting palette. The result is both sunny and soothing.

Pale yellow boasts a broad spectrum, from the likes of Benjamin Moore’s whispery Barely Yellow to Farrow & Ball’s more lively Dayroom Yellow. Pantone—the global guru on color—gave Buttercream high marks for its versatility, calling the near-neutral color an “easy and effortless delicious off-white.” Across the board, luxury paint brands offer an impressive assortment of pale yellows, as do top-tier fabric and wallpaper makers.

Deciding on pale yellow is a no-brainer, but designers will warn you that choosing the perfect shade of paint takes effort and expertise. Test a considered shade in the space it will be used. The appearance of any yellow varies strongly depending on the amount of natural light in a space, as well as the colors of the surfaces around it. Get your choice right and you’ll be rewarded with a room that is as uplifting as the yellow that colors it.

Like many modern relationships, the ladies of Salt Lake City’s Foundation Goods and social media style star Courtney Grow can thank the internet for setting them up. Call it an Instagram meet-cute: “We connected with Courtney around the time we launched our brand while we were growing and getting our name out there,” recalls interior designer Caitlin Creer, who co-founded Foundation Goods with her friend and fellow designer Bethany Christensen. “Courtney was in the same phase with her personal brand and was gaining a following.” The admiration was mutual, and both parties expressed an interest in working together. Suffice to say, it was a perfect match.

Grow and husband Wyatt had recently purchased a new Orem home for their young family (four kids under the age

of 10, including twins), and while fashion may be her forte, she felt overwhelmed when diving into the world of interiors.

“Courtney wanted to invest in her home and create a space for her family, but she also wanted the design to represent her lifestyle and her brand,” explains Olivia Snow, lead designer and stylist at Foundation Goods, who jumped at the chance to work in tandem with Grow to create something out of the box.

“In total opposition to the less-is-more mentality, I'm a big believer in more being more,” says Grow. “I wanted my home to be full of eye-catching and interesting furniture and objects. Whether it's an unexpected texture or a piece that comes from another place or another time, my goal was to have a home that felt like it was furnished from the overstock of a museum rather than a catalog.”

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

For design inspiration, the team at Foundation Goods studied the way Grow dresses and took cues from her closet.

“Courtney’s clothing always includes a hero piece, something that pops, and something that’s a little bit eclectic and off-beat that keeps things interesting,” notes Creer. “We applied that same formula to her home. We wanted to tell a story through her interiors.”

They landed on the perfect narrative to describe Grow’s style and guide their process: “A ’70s starlet living on the Upper East Side who loves to vacation in Palm Springs and inherited all of her grandmother’s furniture,” says Snow.

Think one-part Gossip Girl and one-part California girl (Grow originally hails from the Golden State). This translated to a high-low mix of modern and traditional pieces, layered textures and patterns, moments of color, and unique lighting and accessories for a cool, collected look.

“We wanted the rooms in Courtney’s home to feel unique and individual, but they all had to play well together and interact with each other,” explains Snow. “It all works because each room suits a different element of Courtney’s personality and style.” Case in point: The formal, dusty rose dining room reflects the lipstick tones that Grow tends to wear, while the eclectic, vibrant green entry was inspired by a favorite verdant sweater.

“If you stay true to a client’s authentic self, the design will always feel cohesive,” Snow says explaining one of her fundamental philosophies.

What started as an exciting design project resulted in an exclusive product collaboration. The Foundation Goods x Courtney Grow Collection features accessories, furniture, light fixtures and more, all inspired by Grow’s wardrobe and wanderlust. Many items from the collaboration were used to fashion Grow’s home and are shoppable via Foundation Goods (all furniture is available for custom order); fitting, considering Grow has built her brand on being a stylish shopping savant.

Ahead, we take a peek inside Grow’s dwelling and share nine style lessons for a fashionable abode.

52

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 2

color Choose colors you love and that reflect your style and personality. “Courtney wears rosy tones and greens,” explains Snow, who suggests looking at your wardrobe when selecting paint swatches. “If you pick colors that you come back to time and time again when getting dressed, you’ll be happy with them in your home.”

Grow agrees: “I exclusively chose colors for my home that I would wear,” she says.

“I love green generally, and in living spaces, I love the way it brings a sense of life to a room.” As for her dusty rose dining room, she says they tried a slew of samples to find the perfect shade. “Nothing was quite hitting the spot until we found this wonderful color called Nutmeg.” The feminine hue may not be for everyone, but that’s just fine with Grow. “When starting this process, I told myself that it wouldn’t be a success unless some people hated it.”

In the formal living room, Snow selected blonde tones that speak to Grow’s physical color palette and act as a bit of a reprieve from the rest of the saturated tones. It’s an appropriate palette given that this is the room where Grow snaps most of her photos for Instagram and where her followers see her the most—and it's one of her favorite rooms in the house.

“

I love green generally, and in living spaces, I love the way it brings a sense of life to a room.”

—Courtney Grow

Add visual interest with the right mix of textures. “Courtney is a mix master when it comes to textures,” says Snow, noting, for example, that she’ll team denim and wool with pops of fur and velvet. Foundation Goods applied the same textural mix to her home, pairing lacquered pieces with natural stone and silk pillows with matte fabrics. Most notably, though, bold, textured walls set the tone for the stylish abode from the moment you step foot inside.

“The entry is a tight, small space with tall ceiling so we made a statement with a green grasscloth wallpaper,” says Snow. They chose a vinyl grasscloth so it would be wipeable, which was key with little kids at home. “A strong first impression for my house was important to me, and I think we accomplished that in dramatic fashion,” says Grow of the vibrant, verdant walls. The textural mix continues throughout the room with the addition of a polished burl wood dresser, part of the FG x CG collab, and a vintage woven rug.

lighting Just as earrings frame the face and add the finishing touch to an outfit, lighting lends focus and polish to a room. “Courtney loves a great pair of earrings, and the lighting throughout her home reminds me of that,” says Snow, noting that the unique fixtures brought a touch of glam to every room. “Courtney’s house shows how you can push the envelope with lighting and have fun with the design while still making it feel timeless,” adds Creer. Grow’s favorite illumination in the home? “I love, love, love the light fixture in my formal dining room; it reminds me so much of one of my favorite dresses,” she says of the pleated fabric showstopper. In the living room, puddled drapes made from a sheer, gauzy fabric provide soft, diffused light (a must for Grow), and, in another nod to fashion, Creer says they’re reminiscent of an evening gown’s train.

54

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 2

accessories Whether dressing your home or yourself, take risks in small ways with accessories. “We curated such a unique group of things for the Foundation Goods x Courtney Grow Collection,” says Snow. “The accessories were an adventure. Courtney pushes her followers to try new things, and we wanted to do that with attainable items that elevate the everyday.” Many accessories from the collaboration are sprinkled throughout Grow’s abode and were inspired by her love of travel, from Negroni-colored Italian glassware to a chic chinoiserie-inspired serving tray. A second summer collection between Grow and Foundation Goods will drop this May and features linens, kitchen and tabletop items inspired by the sun-drenched Italian countryside and La Dolce Vita.

layering Start with key foundational pieces, and then build your look with layers on top. Similar to the way Grow builds her outfits with basics and adds special touches, Creer says you can transform a space with details like paint and window treatments.

“Whether it’s a white T-shirt and jeans, or, in our case, a great sofa and rug, we have a checklist of must-haves for a room and then we layer from there,” she explains. Creer recommends investing in these foundational items first and saving on less permanent pieces because if you get that part wrong, the rest of the design is doomed. “If you have ill-fitting jeans or an illfitting rug, it won’t ever look right,” she says.

pattern Don’t be afraid to mix and match a few patterned details. “You can’t go wrong with stripes or florals,” says Snow. “We wanted to pick thoughtful patterns and fabrics that felt classic and elevated.” In the family room, a duo of striped cotton benches act as ottomans, while crisp floral pillows adorn the signature green velvet Court Sectional, all part of the FG x CG collection.

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

55

high & low Learn when to splurge and when to save. Grow’s followers know she loves a good high-low pairing—she waxes equally poetic about affordable finds from H&M and more splurge-worthy pieces by brands like Khaite. The same is true when it comes to her home décor. “Courtney has an elegance, glamour and sophistication that is really special and magnetic, but she’s also grounded, approachable and witty,” says Creer. Being mindful of budget, the team invested in foundational items like rugs and upholstery, focusing on high-quality pieces and high-performance fabrics that will stand the test of time, just like a classic cashmere sweater or a great pair of leather boots.

56

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 2

element of surprise Pack a design punch with unexpected details, like a jaw-dropping powder room. “Courtney needed a jewel box,” says Snow of the gem-sized room. “We wanted a space that felt moody and romantic—like a night out.”

The duo spent a lot of time looking for the right wallpaper and ultimately landed on a print by Morris & Co. “A powder room is a great space for a beloved wallpaper— it can have its own little moment,” notes Snow. In a nod to her shopping skills and knack for sourcing special pieces, Grow found the gold swan faucet after scouring the Internet for fixtures. “She takes such fun risks,” says Snow, whether that’s a fowl-themed faucet or a pair of dazzling shrimp-shaped earrings.

traditional & modern Don’t be afraid to team old favorites with new finds. “Getting a good mix of traditional and modern items was important for us— we were inspired by the past but also wanted things to feel fresh and current,” explains Snow. Pairing contemporary pieces with special treasures from estate sales and the Grows’ travels lent a collected vibe to the overall décor. In the formal living room, for example, a gallery wall of special pieces gathered by the Grows hangs above a sleek mahogany console, part of the FG x CG collab. In the dining room, a vintage hutch and stately dining set hold court against the au courant wall color and lighting.

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 75year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating.

Customization is the name of the game at Bartile. “We have more than 700 custom colors, designs and textures, so we can literally create anything,” says Nick Evans, general manager.

“If you see something you like, bring us a photo and we’ll make it for you.”

Bartile 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 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 @b ar t i leroof s

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

In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in Northern Utah. “We offer a warranty on tile as well as the installation,” says Evans. “Expert installation helps insulate the house to keep ice dams down in winter and keep cooling costs down in the summer.”

We build to last. When you compare the cost of replacing your asphalt roof every 20 years, the lifecycle of a tile roof will result in significant savings—as much as 200% the first time, and more every additional time you replace it.

“We’re celebrating our 80th anniversary.

We’re one of the few family businesses that has lasted three generations. Some of the first roofs we installed are still holding up; I have stood on roofs installed in 1942. Our biggest design secret is endurance—that’s why we offer a 75-year warranty.”

NICK EVANS / GENERAL MANAGER

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD Environmental sustainability. Our eco-friendly roofs last 75–100 years and when it’s time to replace them, we can recycle every material.

In addition, our lightweight tiles are made from more than 50% recyclable materials.

This chic furniture store carries fresh brands such as Kartell, Alessi, Amura, Driade, Bernhardt Design, Menu A/S, Iittala, Calligaris, Ferm Living and more. “We are constantly looking for new brands that currently have no presence in Salt Lake City, or Utah for that matter,” says Matinkhah.

“Years ago, I built a modern home and found it difficult to find the contemporary furniture and products I wanted to furnish it with locally,” says Matinkhah. “So, I purchased most items online or out of state. I saw a growing market that lacked the resources.” As Salt Lake City and surrounding areas continue to grow and become more diverse, appreciation for well-designed products has grown as well. Now, Dara Modern fills that gap.

“Customers love coming to us to find great pieces for their homes as well as unique and well-designed gifts,” he says. “Customer service is our number one priority, and we will do everything we can to make sure you find exactly what you are looking for.”

Like many couples, Emily and Nicolas Stevenson one day realized that their dream home of many years wasn’t so dreamy any more. “We built it over nine years ago, and as our family has grown, we discovered that it just wasn’t everything we wanted and needed anymore,” Emily explains. But rather than leave the Fruit Heights neighborhood they love for a new address elsewhere, the duo decided to remodel and refresh the house they had.

With a wishlist that included a revamped kitchen, refreshed décor, improved flow and more, the Stevensons hired Hyrum McKay

Bates to devise architectural and floor plan changes and brought on Premier Remodeling to execute them. They also enlisted interior designer Andrea West to work her magic throughout. “I love color and wanted a fresh, timeless look,” Emily explains. “Andrea helped us get everything we wanted without having to move.” One look at West’s youthful, colorcharged portfolio and it becomes clear why the Stevensons eagerly signed her on.

West began with bit of digging to learn how the active family—including five kids ranging in age from 9 to 17—lives in the home. “We

discovered how they cook, entertain and gather,” West says. “We asked everything from where they drop their keys when they enter the house to how they come together as a family at the end of day.” With this info in hand, the designer conceived spaces that stylishly serve the clan’s lifestyle and then went to work creating them.

The transformation begins at new metal French doors opening into the home. Pulling space from a deep covered porch, the new entry introduces the décor’s fresh, upbeat style from the get-go. “An entry shapes the first impression of a home, so we wanted to create a big moment here with layers of art, furnishings, color and detail,” West explains. In this light-flooded space—and throughout most of the home—she brightened the walls with Sherwin-Williams Extra White paint and teamed them with accents, doors and windows dressed in black. “High contrast creates more visually stunning spaces,” says West, who also used it to foster the décor’s cohesive look and feel.

Beyond this new entry space, a vestibule (the home’s original entry) boasts a freshly painted staircase and walls, a highly accessorized entry table and a broad opening into the hub of the home, the reimagined great room.

West refreshed the large space’s family room area with timeless furnishings and finishes before turning her attention to the star of the renovation, the adjoining kitchen. The team pushed out an exterior

wall to widen the room and allow West to rotate the islands across the expanded, eat-in kitchen. The prep island features a waterfall design while a table-like dining island comfortably seats 12 people. West removed worn, all-white cabinets topped with high-maintenance marble, and in their place, she fashioned a handsome mix of lightly stained white oak teamed with black and white painted cabinets topped in durable Neolith porcelain. “All white makes you crave warmth and texture,” says West, who also amped up the space with four oversized black linen-shaded pendants and a two-toned, built-in hutch framed by open shelves on each side.

The fully-equipped pantry, featuring emerald green cabinetry, provided an outlet for Emily’s love of color. This passion

previously inspired untethered swathes of vivid hues strewn throughout the original décor. Emily and Nicolas enjoyed them— until they didn’t. “Whenever you use color without a cohesive design play, you tire of it quickly,” West explains. Instead, the designer judiciously injected color into the spaces and selected jewel and moody tones—“think deep ochre rather than canary,” she explains—for a more timeless, sophisticated look.

The bold refresh and renovation didn’t remain indoors. Because the Stevensons love to entertain and host large groups of friends and family, the team expanded the outdoor kitchen and existing pergola near the pool. A new pool bathroom, connecting the patio with the new mudroom indoors, features dramatically dark shiplapped walls, chevron floor tile and a white-andblack tiled shower. “We wanted this space to speak to the rest of the home in a fun and casual way,” West explains.

During the remodel, Nicolas would sometimes tell Emily that he just couldn’t envision the outcome. She assured him that she could and that the results would be amazing—which, of course, they were.

Was a redo rather than a relocation the right decision? Emily responds with a smile, “Why pick up and leave when you can have something that makes you as happy as this makes us?”

“Modern Simplicity” is how a talented team describes a home it recently created in the heart of Salt Lake City. The strength of geometric shapes, clean lines and light-filled spaces is presumably what inspired the tag, but there is underlying power, too, in the project’s innovative design and creation.

Architect James L. Carroll conceived the dwelling’s interplay of dark and light forms, connected like building blocks in a composed, artistic manner. From the front, the modern dwelling’s upper level presents the home as a single story, fronted

by a complementary landscape that’s equally structured and striking, courtesy of Northland Design’s Jeremy Fillmore. “The front of the house is very linear and architectonic, and the landscape is an extension of that,” he says. In back, the sloped property gives way to the home’s two levels. Their broad windows, spacious decks and shaded patios overlook a noticeably relaxed landscape woven with undulating paths winding through an oakcovered incline and ravine below. “The natural landscape is the main reason the owner purchased the property, and we embraced it with a much

looser design in back,” Fillmore explains.

For the interiors, Leslie Schofield, of Lecate Design, was hired to compose clean, contemporary spaces devised for entertaining and comfortably hosting guests. “Everything we did was to help our client share her hospitality and love with family and friends,” says Schofield, who teamed with contractors Jackson & LeRoy to make the home everything the homeowner desired. To accomplish this, Schofield imagined a circumscribed color palette of neutral whites, grays and beiges, along with a selection of natural materials such as linens and stone, the near-absence of patterns and a sophisticated choice of furnishings and accessories.

designer’s masterful layering shaped the comfortable, inviting décor.

Inspired by the architecture, Schofield carefully calibrated statements of high contrast that mirror the exterior’s interplay of bone-colored stucco, dark siding, black fascia and an espresso-hued front door. A number of curated dark elements boldly accent the predominantly light-toned décor, including the honed black quartzite and blackened steel fireplace, the ebony steel-framed staircase and the rich walnut cabinets furnishing the kitchen and baths. “I love the drama that light

and dark creates,” says Schofield, who kept the décor’s histrionics in check. “This design features high contrast, but because of its lighter tones and subtle accents, it is still soothing and calm.”

It was imperative to keep the detailing simple as possible to promote a clean aesthetic. To ensure the outcome didn’t look or feel cold, Schofield juxtaposed lux textures and finishes, creating evocative-yet-subtle surface statements at every turn. They appear as applied plaster on ceiling trays and wall niches, show up as honed quartzite in the kitchen and flow underfoot as discretely

grained white oak floors. There’s even an encore in the powder room where Phillip Jeffries silk wallpaper teams with floor-to-ceiling Palissandro Nori stone. “Powder rooms are the perfect spaces to go all out with drama,” says Schofield, who was happy to inject a little surprise here or there.

To that end, the designer broke from her pattern-free mandate, dressing an entire wall in the tone-on-tone primary bedroom with a large-scale dandelion print wallpaper. “We wanted to create a sanctuary with the perfect amount of drama, a touch of glam and plenty of warmth,” Schofield muses, while pointing out other instances of the delightfully unexpected. They include a flight of

hand-twisted glass pendants dangling above the dining table, a gleaming, glass-paneled staircase and a contemporary block-patterned entry door from the designer’s Lecate Artisan Doors Collection. “It is the perfect textural, geometric complement to the architectural elements of the home,” she says.

Of course, luxuriant natural light was paramount, and it floods through a profusion of architecturally salient windows. In the great room, for example, broad glass doors and windows team with clerestories to create what, in essence, is a transparent wall overlooking deep decks and leafy branches extending from the wooded hillside

Even the end of the upstairs hallway features a floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks views of lush oak trees framed like living art.

With such a strong link to the landscape and a plethora of spaces from which to enjoy it, the decks and patios are some of the modern dwelling’s most treasured spaces. “This house has an amazing connection to nature,” Schofield says.

Indoors and out, the home is exactly what its owner had hoped for, a place where she and her family can be ensconced in comfort, calm and carefully composed beauty.

RANCH

For a Louisiana family that wanted a remote retreat in Kamas, designer Ashley Amman and architect Glenn Taucher conjure a fresh take on the ranch home, bringing relaxed living and southern comfort to Utah’s mountains

Southern comfort. For many, that’s the key ingredient for making splashy, whiskey-based cocktails served over ice. But for the New Orleans-based owners of a new vacation home in Kamas, it describes the look and feel they wanted for their family’s retreat. “The wife grew up in a Louisiana home filled with antiques and furniture passed down over time, so she wanted the same homey, lived-in feel for her family’s new mountain getaway,” says designer Ashley Amman, who was hired to help create exactly

that for her clients. Satisfying the owners’ style with an aesthetic that also fits with the natural beauty of Utah’s mountains required skill, instinct and, for Amman, a bit of restraint. “The wife’s style is more conservative than mine, so I had to pull back a little,” admits the young designer, who also lives in colorful New Orleans.

The homeowners chose Kamas’ Victory Ranch community, craving a mountain escape where outdoor activities, open land and a sense of offline, remote living prevail. Surrounded by

pristine wilderness and positioned along a stretch of the upper Provo River not far from Deer Valley and Park City, the private community was the choice spot for the active family of four—including two young teens—to land.

“It’s a place where their kids can be kids, head out, hike and explore,” Amman says.

At first glance, the home’s exterior is not unlike that of many of the community’s ranch- and cabin-style residences. Rustic elements—stone walls, weathered siding, brawny beams and shake and metal roofing—define the design. But at closer inspection, there are hints of southern sway. A deep front porch invites convivial gatherings out front, smaller patios and decks stand in for more expansive versions, and hanging bed swings inspire lazy lounging much like porch swings of the South.

These exterior details set the tone for what’s to come: at-ease interiors appointed with endearing traditional touches that include moldings as well as door and window casings.

“The walls felt naked with out them,” Amman says. The designer peppered the décor with informal antiques and mismatched pieces, including the mudroom’s simple teak benches and the living room’s antique distressed con-

Above, a green-shaded brass light from The Urban Electric Company adds a traditional touch. “It’s amazing how much impact that small amount of green makes,” Amman says.

TOP RIGHT: Flooded with light, a casual living area is part of the owners’ suite. It provides a private place to relax and take in mountain views away from the rest of the house.

BOTTOM RIGHT: Inspired by British boot rooms with “unfitted furniture and a stylish practicality,” Amman chose large format, chiseled-edge black stone for the mudroom’s floor. Teak benches and an old pie chest furnish the space while built-in cabinets provide hidden storage. The pendant lights are by Visual Comfort.

sole topped with honey onyx. “There’s comfort in mismatched pieces, and antiques are an important part of creating a storied look and feel,” says Amman, who also used a fair share of new furnishings. “Mixing old and new is the key to creating a home with soul.”

To help shape the inviting, carefree ambiance the clients desired, organic materials and natural hues were used to marry the décor to the home’s bucolic setting. Randomly stacked stone forms the living room’s fireplace, cathedral-cut white oak floors

flow underfoot, and wool rugs, linen upholstery and leather pillows replay throughout. “It’s a very informal and calming palette,” Amman says. The same describes interior colors inspired by the home’s views. “Pulling colors from the landscape helps blur the line between inside and out,” the designer explains. Because the wife likes blue while her husband favors green, the designer included both and balanced the cooler colors with warm camel, grays and varied wood tones, all recurring in the design.

OPPOSITE (CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT): Paintings by artist Anne Wolfer hang above a chair in the primary suite’s living area.

The teenage son’s bedroom features four queensize bunks, providing plenty of sleeping space for guest overflow.

Vintage skis and gallery walls showcasing family photos adorn the hallway at the base of the stairs. “Not everything has to be a forever piece or precious,” Amman explains.

Magnolia Porch Swings the size of twin beds hang from a deep upper deck on the back of the house.

“Repetition creates continuity and less tension in a décor,” Amman explains.

With that in mind, Amman repeated soothing white walls from room to room, with the notable exception of the casual dining nook painted in Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain. “The dark color makes it feel cozy and private, even though it’s smack-dab in the middle of the living and kitchen areas,” says Amman, who echoed the moody hue on the living room’s firewood box and the family room’s cabinets to weave another decorative thread of repetition. The designer also used color to personalize the kids’ bunk rooms: the daughter’s is dusty rose and white

while her brother’s room boasts beds painted in a deep navy blue. The primary suite caters to the wife’s southern sensibilities with a hero chandelier suspended above a simple canopy bed and a bathroom decked out with shaded sconces, warm colors and wallpaper. An adjoining sitting room’s relaxed style, peppered with mid-century elements, suits the man of the house. Room to room, the home checks all of the style and comfort boxes for the family.

“In the end, homes should look like the people who live in them,” Amman contends. “These are kind, fun, salt-of-the-earth people, and this house reflects that perfectly.”

CRAVINGS

a taste of

SPRING If you’re craving the fresh, verdant flavor of spring, pick peas

BY M A RY BROW N M ALOU F

B

Bright? Check. Fresh? Of course. Green?

Delightfully so. If anything tastes like the springtime, it’s spring peas. And while fresh-picked are only just available now, peas are one of the few vegetables that retain much of their flavor and form when frozen, so there is no reason not to indulge this season and beyond. We’re obsessed with the classic pairing of peas and mint in this bright, verdant soup, but there are countless other ways to capture the joyous flavor of peas in your cooking. Here are a few to get you started.

114

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 2

1

Fresh Pea Soup with Mint

Cook 1 chopped onion and 2 chopped leeks in 2 Tbsp. butter until they are soft. Add 4 cups of chicken or vegetable stock and 5 cups of peas. Cook until peas are tender, then stir in about 1/2 cup of chopped fresh mint leaves, 2 tsp. of salt and 1 tsp. of white pepper. Puree in a blender, one cup at a time.

Serve warm or cold. Top with a dollop of crème fraîche.

2

4

3

2

Three-way Peas

Saute 4 minced garlic cloves and 1/2 tsp. grated ginger in 1 Tbsp. of olive oil. Stir in 3 cups snow peas and 3 cups of sugar snap peas and sauté until barely tender. Stir in 4 cups of pea shoots, cook for 2-3 minutes, then serve.

3

Risi e Bisi

Cook one minced clove of garlic in 2 Tbsp. olive oil, then stir in a heaping cup of Arborio rice and sauté a minute. Add a quart of warmed stock or water, a ladleful at a time, cooking until absorbed after each ladleful. Stir in a cup of peas, 1/4 cup diced, frizzled pancetta and 1/2 cup corn. Finish with 1/4 cup or so of grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

4

Mushy Peas

Bring a shallow pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add frozen peas and cook for 3 minutes, or until tender.

Drain peas and transfer to a food processor. Add a few Tbsp. of butter, salt and pepper to taste, and process until thick but with small pieces of peas remaining. If it seems too thick, mix in 1 Tbsp. of heavy cream. Stir in 2 tsp. of lemon juice. It’s a great side dish for ham.

ON ICE Don't turn a cold shoulder to frozen peas. They're picked fresh and flash-frozen when ripe, and they can live in your freezer for months. The trick: Don't overcook them. Because they've been flash-steamed before frozen, they're ready to eat. Cook for a brief minute or simply defrost them before throwing them directly into your hot dish (so they don't cool down your recipe). Then simply savor their sweet flavor and firm, delicious forms.

Honey’s sunny color and buzzy origin inspired floral designer Jamie Heusser when she created this winsome arrangement. “I began with beehive ginger to mimic beehives staked together with flowers growing around them,” the designer says. Taking her lead from the ginger’s warm, sunset tones, she added a mix of complementary blooms including lisianthus, dahlias, garden roses, ranunculus, small carnations and lavender. The individual varieties are clustered as if in a flourishing garden where they spread into others with their mix of arched and upright stems. “I consider how gardens grow when I design,” Heusser explains. To that end, the arrangement is naturally off center, with dimensional highs and lows that draw the eye in and out of the loose composition. For a charming finish, the designer added small Mokara orchids to imitate yellow butterflies fluttering around the ginger bracts.

Nestled on 2,000 acres neighboring Park City, Utah, Red Ledges was designed for better living.
