NATALIE TAYLOR is a regular contributor to

Utah Style & Design magazine and author of the poetry chapbook Eden’s Edge. Her favorite color is purple, so she was delighted to see that Beth Ann Shepherd had used it liberally in her design for the home feature “Brilliant by Design”(page 76). “Beth Ann understands the fine balance between whimsy and elegance,” she says. “She captures the essence of a home and its homeowners, and then weaves a little magic of her own to amp it up.”

EDITOR’S NOTE

LOOKING FOR CHANGE

I

IT HAS BEEN SAID that if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

With this in mind, I stood staring at my living room, stroking my chin. Why wasn’t I compelled to spend time there? With gleaming terrazzo floors, a carved-stone fireplace and lush garden views, it’s my old home’s most spectacular space. And yet, meh. So, I changed how I looked at it. What if I set it up for more than once-in-a-while sitting and socializing? Out with the stiff sofa set-up and a rarely used leather-topped desk. In with looser furnishings and a round pedestal table paired with two cushy arm chairs. Zing! The room’s look and, more importantly, its livability came to life. Now I’m constantly using the room for everything from writing and entertaining to intimate dining and an occasional game of backgammon.

All this resulted from a minor shift of vision.

NOCONA BURGESS

J a n u a r y 2 0 - F e b r u a r y 11

Imagine the difference another look could make in your home.

To help inspire change-making moves, we’ve packed these pages with thought-provoking projects and people. Take Beth Ann Shepherd, who innovatively used mobile bookshelves and custom chaises to segment open spaces in a stunning Park City home. Then there’s Tori McBrien, whose clients coveted a color-charged Deer Valley retreat.

She delivered with vibrant blue accents, including a bright navy inset that elevates a ceiling’s style.

Morgan Veenendaal conjured a spirited look for a slope-side penthouse using imaginative details that dazzle and delight. Is that cerulean eelskin wall covering? Sure is. Other pros enliven rooms with house plants (yes, they’re back!), build a party around a surprising black palette, design with haloshaped forms, create mod bunk rooms and offer tips for creating an engaging monochrome home.

WO O DY S H E P H E R D

EVALUATE THE SPACE. “Monochromatic palettes create a larger visual space and a soothing, gentle environment,” says Landry, who often uses single-color schemes to make rooms look and feel more spacious and tranquil.

BEGIN WITH FABRICS, Landry suggests. He might work through more than twenty textiles to arrive at a final four or five. “I hit a stack of the selected color and pull individual fabrics that fit the color range but also have their own interest.”

CREATE CONTRAST. It’s imperative to include a variety of textures ranging from anything like a nubby linen to a smooth, sleek leather. “Also, use a certain number of patterns, even if subtle,” says Landry, who insists that texture and pattern are even more important in monochromatic design to create dimension and depth.

FIND YOUR FOCAL POINTS. Assign a variety of values and levels of visual importance to items in a room. “If everything sings, they cancel each other out,” Landry says. “You have to choose a couple that have more power than the others.”

GIVE IT A REST. Introduce a neutral element like stone, wood or even black or white to create a place for the eye to rest. “A contrasting neutral accentuates the power of a monochromatic palette while creating a much-needed foil.”

LAYER, LAYER, LAYER. “I could easily layer twenty different fabrics in a monochromatic room,” says Landry. He combines everything from plain surfaces and mixed fabrics to key patterns, primary art pieces and furnishings that perform as focal points. “It’s all about layering visual values,” he says.

LOOK UP. “While it’s not a hard and fast rule, I typically paint my ceilings the same color as my walls.” That holds true for most of the rooms Landry designs, including his monochromatic spaces. Jeff Landry Design, SLC, jefflandrydesign.com

SPOTTED: Floating like gleaming halos above the interior of Stanza, lighted rings hang from a soaring ceiling, illuminating the stylish restaurant in Salt Lake City. “The ring lighting was chosen because the symbol of a circle represents infinite possibilities and never-ending everything—as in food, wine and fun,” says Joel LaSalle, owner of LaSalle Group. Large windows, wine glasses, silverware and other reflective surfaces amplify the rings’ reflections, multiplying their dramatic effect. stanzaslc.com

IN GOOD TASTE

SKINNY DIPPING

Want to cut a few fat grams from classic onion dip?

Substitute Greek or low-fat yogurt for the sour cream and switch out fromage blanc for some low-fat cream cheese.

GAME ON Just in time for the big game, everyone’s favorite onion dip gets a tasty refresh.

A

n inspired dish from the ‘50s, onion dip originated from a marketing idea for using Lipton’s then-new dehydrated onion soup mix. The mix was added to sour cream and/or cream cheese. Today, the super-easy combo of sour cream and sweet onion is still unbeatable for hosts and hostesses, but we prefer a from-scratch recipe and its beet-pink cousin.

Caramelized Onion Dip • 2 Tbsps. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling • Coarse salt • 3 pounds yellow onions (about 8 large), coarsely chopped • ¼ cup red wine vinegar

• 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh thyme • 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened • 1 cup sour cream (8 ounces) • Freshly ground pepper

Heat olive oil in a medium heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high until hot but not smoking. Cook sliced onions, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cover; reduce heat to low.

Cook, stirring occasionally until caramelized, about 40 minutes. Raise heat to medium, and season onions with salt. Stir in vinegar; simmer until mixture is dry. Stir in thyme; remove from heat. Let cool. With an electric mixer, beat cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in sour cream and caramelized onions with a rubber spatula; season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour.

“Who needs a holiday to create a celebration during our winter season?” asks party planner Emily White. As the owner of Wish, a party décor boutique in Park City, White believes wintertime is party time.

“Why not host an après-ski fondue party or gather friends and family for a sleigh ride, followed by hot mulled wine around a fire pit and then a catered dinner party in a private yurt?” asks White. She also caters to winter’s calendar events including Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras, as well as birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. “We specialize in modern and on-trend party goods for every special occasion,” she says. Wish offers tableware, decor, cards, confetti, unique party favors and a custom “swoonworthy” balloon bar with a wide range of choices. Wish, Park City, wishparkcity.com

Top Bunks O In the hands of savvy designers, bunk rooms provide high-occupancy sleeping quarters and space-saving features in even the most high-style of homes.

n the list of favorite rooms—chef’s kitchens, luxedout lounges and dreamy master suites—guest rooms have never ranked particularly high (if at all). But that’s changing, thanks to, of all things, modern-day bunk beds. In homes of all kinds, designers are creating chic, high-occupancy sleeping quarters using custom bunk beds in very innovative, space-saving and head-turning ways. For proof, we present the following bunk rooms designed by talented Utah pros for kids and adults alike.

Designer Matt Dickamore of Denton House Design Studio stylishly stacked two twin beds above two queen-sized beds to expand the sleeping space in this modern mountain home in Big Sky, Montana. Dickamore provided each bunk with bedside lighting and designed flip-down railings to help ease the bed-making chore. A base of drawers below the queen beds provides plenty of storage.

In the bunk room of a Deer Valley Montage residence, the owners’ passion for contemporary and post-war art inspired designer Beth Ann Shepherd. She began with a multi-colored, flocked-velvet striped pillow fabric, which led to a Tiffany blue wall, chartreuse patterned light fixtures and chocolate-toned handmade rugs from New Zealand. Designed with shapely ladders, two queen and two full-size bunks run the length of the expansive bedroom.

In Deer Valley, designer Jennifer Chipman with Alder & Tweed Home Outfitters created a client’s modern bunk room with a sophisticated “grown-up” style. She positioned two top twin bunks across two lower queen beds, each positioned into the room on a platform. The open design features a center staircase and built-in nightstands.

Dark woods contrast with a light backdrop and colorful pillows to create compelling contrast.

In a house located in Park City’s Old Town area, designer Sheri Russell of In Studio Design painted a wall orange to create an eye-catching backdrop for white stacked bunks. Floor-level drawers and built-in shelves located within each bunk cubby provide abundant storage space. A center wall of black-and-white photos adds extra style to the room and rolling ladders enable easy access to the bunks.

Drawers beneath lower full-sized bunks provide ample storage for a Montage residence boys’ bunk room in Deer Valley. A custom console hosts a game center between the lower bunks. To create the mountain feel her client desired, designer Jennifer Chipman combined a rich gray-painted wood finish, faux wood-panel wallpaper from Cole and Son, and cushy leather seating.

The bunk room in a St. George home by architect Rob McQuay, builder Markay Johnson, and designers Ashley Johnson and Gregory Abbott provides plenty of sleeping space for visiting friends and family. Two levels of end-to-end mattresses serve as long pillow-backed sectionals as well as beds. A bright red wall, spring-green bedding and an assortment of decorative pillows give the room a color-punched, playful style that flows freely to a covered patio.

The bunk room of a Yellowstone Club home in Montana is outfitted with a full-size bed built above a California king. Tongueand-groove paneling and a palette of white fosters the space’s clean, modern vibe. Built-in bookshelves and wall-mounted lighting add convenience and character. Design by Jill Corona and McKenzie Dickson of Denton House Design Studio.

Located above Park City’s Main Street in a Parkite high-rise condo, this bunk room boasts an nontraditional layout that accommodates adults and children. Designer Morgan Veenendaal with Alder & Tweed horizontally positioned an upper platform with two twin bunks above two full beds set upon 12-inch platforms. A 12-inch horizontal white planking forms a floor-to-ceiling headboard for the engaging black-and-white décor. “The white makes it so light and bright, and the black adds the punch,” Veenendaal says.

In Park City, a stunning bunk area is an extension of a Silver Star town home’s screening room. Designer Beth Ann Shepherd of Dressed Design created hidden storage inside the stairs separating the stacked twin and queen bunks. Highly textured pillows, a Chanel-like quilted lounge chair, fur rugs and knit ottomans infuse the space with comfort and sophisticated style.

2 GO BIG

Err on the side of too big when selecting a houseplant meant to inhabit a large room or to provide substantial presence in a décor. Too-small or disproportionate plants are underwhelming. Think ahead, suggests Clint Lewis, owner of Orchid Dynasty. “Plants are living sculptures, so you need to consider how they will grow over time—their sizes, leaves, textures and colors can all change.” Here, the large scale and green leathery leaves of a tall, fiddle leaf fig make a big impact played against the dark walls of a high-ceilinged room.

When propped on a plant stand, set on a side table or even rooted in a tall footed pot, smaller plants can be lifted from obscurity. Raised bases give plants height, making them as prominent as many larger specimens.

“Get a plant off the ground and its interest level immediately rises,” says Lewis. Here, a stump table performs as a stage for a small, handsomely potted plant. Design by Studio McGee, SLC.

Nothing perks up a room like fresh flowers, but bouquets are short-lived.

For something more permanent, consider a flowering houseplant. Simple choices include begonias, kalanchoes, cyclamen and African violets. More sophisticated options include orchids, bromeliads and succulents. Here, a tropical bromeliad delivers a long-lasting show of red to a sleek SLC bathroom. Design by Kathryn Anderson.

“A pot is to a plant as a frame is to a painting.”

–CLINT LEWIS, ORCHID DYNASTY

Few things fill a bare corner as naturally as a houseplant. It provides volume, color and sculptural form without adding clutter of the bulk of a light-blocking piece of furniture. Don’t crowd the corner with a massive plant that prohibits movement, and avoid a species unsuited to the corner’s lighting. In Salt Lake, this fiddle leaf fig adds life to a dining room corner and thrives in its bright, filtered light.

If a fear of commitment keeps you from hosting a plant, think of it as a transient house guest, a short-term accessory, suggests Lewis.

Love that flowering succulent in the store? Find it a stylish pot and move it around the house: prop it on the windowsill, stage it in your shelves, place it on your nightstand. Once it has lost its luster, toss it and replace with a fresh specimen. “You don’t have to name your plant and keep it forever,” says Cory Cumming, plant buyer with Cactus & Tropicals. “It’s OK to toss Mildred when you’re tired of her,” he jests. No fuss, no guilt. Placed in a shimmering gold pot, this small leafy plant enlivens the corner of a desk and can be moved around the house with ease. Design by Studio McGee, SLC.

7 P ICK THE POT FIRST

“A pot is to a plant as a frame is to a painting,” says Lewis, who believes the color, texture, pattern and shape of a pot can and should complement those of the plant. He advises picking a pot that decoratively fits a décor before selecting its plant. “If a pot is plain, consider a variegated or patterned plant,” Lewis suggests, “and if the pot is patterned, select a simpler, plainer plant.” Lewis also favors a “one-third—two-third rule.”

“In general, a plant should be twice as tall as its pot, or a pot twice as tall as its plant.” Here, two geometrically shaped pots are dramatically planted with a tall orchid and cactus. Plants by Orchid Dynasty, SLC.

8 D RY OUT

If you constantly forget to water your plants, choose less-thirsty specimens. There are plenty of showy houseplants that thrive on less H20: Succulents, snake plants, cacti, ZZ plants, sago palms, air plants and even orchids are all showy, low-water options. In a Park City home, a glass trough showcases a row of tillandsia (aka air plants) that require no soil and only infrequent watering. Plants by Orchid Dynasty, SLC.

6 H EAD TO YOUR CORNER

IN THE HOUSE

Cactus & Tropicals’ Cory Cumming offers five top tips for maintaining healthy house plants WATER “When in doubt, dry it out,” says Cumming, who considers overwatering one of the biggest mistakes in houseplant care. “For most plants, it is best to let the surface of the soil to become completely dry between waterings, and there are others that want to dry out even more,” he explains. Research your plant’s preference. “A soil probe can help you gauge the dryness of the soil, but I normally check by simple sticking my finger deep into the soil,” he says.

LIGHT Once you’ve chosen the plant-needy spot in your home, gauge its amount and quality of light before choosing the type of plant you’ll place there, Cumming advises. “Some plants like bright direct light by a window and others do better toward the middle of a room where there is less light,” he says. “Even just three feet in from a window makes a big difference in the type of light a plant receives.” Your nurseryman can help you make the right choice, or you can do a little online research before making your selection.

CLEAN “Every time you water a plant, dust its leaves with a damp towel or a baby wipe,” Cumming suggests. As dust builds up, he explains, the amount of light absorption decreases as does a plant’s gas exchange. On occasion, spray the plant down with water outdoors or in the shower, if possible. Dusting with canned air can harm a plant by freezing its leaves if sprayed too closely, Cumming warns.

ROTATE “One good turn deserves another,” quips Cumming, who suggests giving a potted plant a quarter turn every time it is watered. Even in the center of a room where light appears more even, regular turning helps keep a plant’s growth uniform over time.

REPOT “Most plants do better when slightly root-bound, so when you buy a plant it’s unlikely you need to repot it right away,” Cumming says.

“When it becomes difficult to keep a plant watered, it likely needs to be repotted.” Cumming suggests choosing a pot only one size larger than the rootbound plant’s current container.

requently, the remodeled kitchens of conventional homes are also conventional. Then there is the renovated kitchen of this unique, owner-designed, five-story home structurally built around a towering Douglas fir tree.

nothing about the new kitchen, or its design, could be considered conventional.

“It was a complicated jigsaw puzzle,” says Dallas Davis, lead design architect for the Park City firm, noting the space’s unique shape. The original kitchen was disjointed and narrow with soaring ceilings and an attached, little-used patio.

The personal needs and wants of the family drove the design. Everything, Davis says, was based on how the homeowners occupy the space and how their personal chef works in the space, down to the location each likes to eat breakfast and drink coffee in the morning. “We would have conversations about how the husband and wife would each function in the morning, how the kitchen performs when they have family in town, or if their kids are there without them,� Davis says.

From those conversations, the plan for the new kitchen fell into place.

Forget work triangles. This kitchen is zoned.

INTEGRATED APPLIANCES A integrated Sub Zero refrigerator and a Scanomat Top Brewer coffee machine are built into the lower cabinets of the main kitchen. An adjacent cabinet holds all beverage supplies—mugs, coffee, cocoa.

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

The cabinet island in the center of the main kitchen also houses the pantry space between its walls.

where the cooking function is front and center, this room features an enclosed pantry that operates as the chef’s kitchen and primary prep center, equipped with the only full-sized sink in the center of the space. The main kitchen, which houses the stovetop and ovens, encircles this pantry and serves as an entertaining hub for the family’s many parties and social events.

To increase the square footage in the oncenarrow kitchen space, Davis’ team enclosed the adjacent patio with wall-to-ceiling glass. “It was always about the view,” Davis says of the property’s vistas of Park City, Deer Valley and the Jordanelle Reservoir. “The client wanted the outside to blend with the inside.” The aspen-filled landscape outside the kitchen inspired a sliding barn door providing entry to the pantry. The owner eschewed privacy-providing smart glass for the new wall of windows because it was not completely transparent. Instead, she opted to plant more aspens outside the glass walls.

In fact, all decisions made for the kitchen were based on the artist-owner’s preferences, which were often based on her feelings. Sometimes, the architects say, she would decide something wasn’t right after it had already been installed.

“She would come in and say ‘That’s not right. We need to modify it,’ ” Davis explains. “Everything was a emotional decision,” says Project Manager Carla Leigh, “Everything was about making it right.” Davis says the most important part of the project wasn’t the structure at all. “The key was not understanding the house, it was understanding the homeowner. Once we understood her, that was it.”

hen it comes to on-trend colors, black is, well, the new black. So it comes as no surprise that when photographer Lindsey Shaun paired with Amber Dickson of Amber Reverie Floral and Event Design to stage a stylish dinner party, the imaginative duo chose a monochromatic palette based on the darkest of colors. “I wanted layers of texture and different levels of depth using the black tones, so I collaborated with Amber to create what I envisioned,” Shaun says.

Their goal: Give black a lift. “Black can feel formal, stark and often heavy, but we used it to shape a moody, modern and organic

look instead,” Dickson explains. From furnishings to flowers, place settings to platters, black drove the stylish dinner party’s distinctive design.

THE SCENE “You walk in and see the dark and moody colors, but the look is comfortable and casual, not formal or somber,” Shaun says.

“We wanted it to be laid back and a bit romantic,” Dickson adds. To create this ambiance, Shaun and Dickson beautifully staged a distressed, gray-washed wood table and set it in front of a black wall with WINTER 2017

“The table needed to contrast with the black tableware,” says Dickson, who chose a gray-washed, heavily grained wood table for its light tones and organic texture. “A table cloth would have felt too formal.”

a flat-finish that helps relax the scene. To avoid a cave-like feel, Shaun paid close attention to the lighting. “With black, you have to have generous, but adjustable, lighting to prevent a dark, muddled look,” she explains. “The dimmer you go, the moodier it gets.” Thoughtful lighting reflects off a carefully curated mix of textures, finishes and pops of color that bring life to black elements and adds depth and character to the table and room.

THE FLOWERS “I wanted to avoid a lot of distractions on the table so I decided on a single arrangement as the star,” Dickson explains. Influenced by the chiaroscuro style of the Dutch Master paintings, Dickson paired dramatic light and dark tones in an arrangement that is typical of her style: loose and natural. “Its asymmetrical, somewhat wild look helps shape the relaxed vibe of the party,”

72

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N . C O M

she says. She began with black ranunculus, chocolate cosmos and black-centered anemones and then captured tones from them adding grayish roses and gold-tinted foliage. She finished the centerpiece with plum branches and blackberries and then staged fresh plums beneath. “The centerpiece adds enormous dimension to the monochromatic palette,” Shaun says.

THE PLACE SETTINGS “A simple setting can be just as impactful as an elaborate one,” Dickson says. To prove it, she placed textured black ceramic plates on simply folded gray napkins and framed them with contemporary flatware made with organic handles.

Dark-based goblets add a touch of sparkle. “The simple place settings don’t draw attention away from the centerpiece,” she says. Menu cards created by Refine Studio finish each setting. “I

love menu cards, even for small dinner parties” Dickson explains. “They show you put a lot of thought into your menu. They also get guests excited about the courses and give them each a memento to take home.”

THE MENU Shaun and Dickson collaborated with Cuisine Unlimited to develop a menu that captured the dark tones and casual flavor of the evening.

The pros served artisan cheese on a natural stone platter and garnished it with black mission figs and local honey. They also plated the main course of beef tenderloin with blackberry chipotle and a side of fingerling potatoes. Water infused with blackberries and plums accompanies the meal. For dessert, a dark chocolate bundt cake by Flour & Flourish reinforced the dinner party’s dark palette and relaxed-yetfestive style.

Its length and shape gives you the parameters for the number of settings and the shape of the centerpiece,” Dickson says.

was 90 days before Christmas when all through the house… . So begins the tale when Traci and Troy Arnsten, founders of Voluspa, a luxe home-décor and premium fragrances and candles business, built a new vacation home near Park City. While structurally gorgeous, the home lacked the glamour that these sophisticated world travelers needed.

For that, they hired designer Beth Ann Shepherd, owner of the L.A.- and Park City-based design firm Dressed Design, to add some sparkle to their vacation home. “We had fallen in love with Beth Ann’s work at the Montage Deer Valley residences,” says Traci Arnsten. “Her work is flawless.”

Tight deadline notwithstanding, the design project posed some challenges. For starters—how to please an entire family.

The Arnstens are a dynamic, business-savvy couple and parents of three young daughters. “Troy wanted a gentleman’s space,

Traci wanted a space to entertain friends, and the girls needed their own space with a creative area,” says Shepherd. They had clear criteria. “We wanted it to feel like a mountain resort home while accommodating our family’s laid-back lifestyle,” adds Traci. “A sleek, modern look accented with warm, touchable-not-precious accents.”

Another challenge was the floor plan of the 4,000-square-foot home. “It’s long and narrow,” explains Shepherd. “Think San Francisco. So I needed to delineate areas without blocking the flow of overall zones.” The solution: Channel Alice in Wonderland. “I wanted to keep it open and energetic to accentuate views of the mountains,” she says. Upstairs features a great room with unhindered access to the kitchen, dining room and living room. “It’s a rectangular room and I didn’t want to have anyone with their backs to another person,” says Shepherd. So she custom designed

open-ended chaises that indicate areas without alienating anyone. The dining area serves as entertainment as well. “When you’re sitting playing cards, you don’t have to send people to another room,” she explains. “They can sit on the sofa.”

Shepherd repeated circular elements—bespoke wall art made of tree trunks, a chandelier with bones, and a round, diamond-tufted ottoman in the living room—to add warmth to the highly angular environment. “I love the upstairs kitchen and open living space,” says Traci. “Beth Ann designed the furniture to maximize the functionality of seating and entertaining by making it all movable and transitional. Low backs on the sofas and beautifully crafted oversized ottomans keep the space open and versatile. You can enjoy the beautiful view and easily entertain a large number of guests.

It’s simply masterful design.”

this time, Shepherd wanted the spaces more defined.

She began by separating the No Name Saloonthemed gentlemen’s area with a craft beer table, mirror and copper mule cups. Then, she created a line to the girls’ room using white bookcases on rollers filled with toys, and children’s books. “When you walk through that area, you can see the bunk room,” explains Shepherd. “But if you pass that on the left side, you see the ladies’ area for Traci and her friends with a killer sectional. It’s very modular so it can be switched out easily. This defines the three spaces very clearly without cutting off any energy.”

Bold pops of color add playful accents to the neutral-base color palette. “It’s a holiday home,” she says. “They don’t have to live with it, so the accents

are out of the box. It’s easy to change the pillows and artwork for each season.” The children inspired the colors. “I asked each little girl what her favorite color was,” says Shepherd. “Purple, pink and periwinkle.

The home was a Christmas surprise for them—so I really wanted to dazzle them.”

To amp up the luxe factor, Shepherd adorned the space with lush tactile finishes such as ultra-soft chenille, velvet, fur and Italian leather. “I wanted to bring some California glitz to the mountains,” she says. The girls, who saw the home for the first time on Christmas Eve, were overjoyed. “They flipped out,” gushes Traci. “Every detail completely wowed them.” So much so that the Arnstens hired Shepherd to recreate the same magic in their California home.

Winter Blues In Deer Valley, designer Tori McBrien and her clients use fresh colors, shimmering surfaces and high-voltage details to transform a slopeside family retreat.

he storyline is hardly new: An out-of-state couple buys a resort home in Deer Valley, inspired by world-famous ski snow and spectacular year-round scenery. But their take on slopeside living couldn’t be more novel. Rather than surrounding themselves with dark woods, heavy textures and warm earthtones, these new homeowners opted for a fresher, more colorful approach to mountain style.

“Make it light, bright and open,” says designer Tori McBrien, recalling the simple directives her clients expressed about their new Montage Residence. The couple resides in St. Louis where a love for color imbues the family’s primary home. “It was a big driving force,” McBrien says. “I wanted the mountain residence to feel like home for them, so we used their St. Louis décor as a starting point.”

The couple’s new mountain retreat provided some challenges and countless opportunities. Rich cherry doors and millwork subdued the open interior, as did dark granite countertops and a traditional mountain décor. A “lock-off” wall that separated and secured the third bedroom suite from the rest of the onelevel, three bedroom dwelling also cramped its interior. “We ripped out the wall to make one big unit from two smaller ones,” explains McBrien who eliminated the lock-off wall and an adjoining pantry to accommodate a newly expanded kitchen. She painted all of the cherry wood white, replaced dark granite with

white quartz, swapped rustic hardware with polished nickle pieces, and enlivened the décor with a vibrant color palette, light-expanding treatments and fresh, updated furnishings.

Walnut floors, refinished and renewed with a dark stain, now run throughout the great room. Here, and elsewhere in the home, McBrien enlisted lively colors—mostly blues—to define and elevate the style of the spaces, all endowed with spectacular mountain views. A deep ceiling tray, dressed in navy sisal wallpaper, runs the length of the combined living and dining areas, crowning them with an uplifting, eye-catching detail. “The dark blue anchors the space from above,” McBrien explains. In the dining area, a large banquette upholstered in powder blue pops with striking, pattern-punched pillows that repeat on the living room sectional. “The pillows were our splurge,” McBrien admits with a laugh. Nearby, a hydrangeablue leather ottoman hugs the fireplace, sapphire-colored pendants dangle above the kitchen island and water-toned geometrically patterned wallpaper animates the powder room’s walls. “The blues act like threads that tie the interior together,”

McBrien explains. At the same time, the neutrally toned furnishings and finishes prevent color from bullying the décor.

McBrien says, “The wife loves bright colors but didn’t want them to overwhelm the interior.”

Additional interest and intrigue are provided by McBrien’s distinctive fixtures and finishes. She hung a pair of clusteredbubble-like chandeliers over the dining table, a shimmering sunburst light above the living area and a shell-and-crystal chandelier in the guest bathroom, to name a few of the illuminated head-turners. “I love statement-making light fixtures,” McBrien admits. She also adores tile. McBrien chose pearlescent mosaics to dress the kitchen backsplash as well as the wall beneath beneath the kitchen’s island’s countertop. “The waterfall edges surround the tile,” says McBrien who theatrically illuminated the glistening treatment with concealed LED rope lights. This mosaic tile also adorns a fireplace once dressed in limestone and clads glass-shelved walls that frame the chimney on both sides. “Light just shimmers off the surfaces,” explains the designer who purposefully used these and other shining materials to reflect light and visually expand the interior.

McBrien also designed furnishings to foster the interior’s open, light-filled ambiance. She insisted on a low profile for the living room’s sectional—upholstered in a carefree indooroutdoor fabric— to prevent it from blocking light and views emanating from the great room’s broad windows. She lowered the kitchen island from bar- to counter-height and chose leggy chairs and stools rather than heavy, bulky versions that would weigh the décor down. In the bunk room, she created metal “headboards” with circular cutouts that allow light to flow freely through them. “We looked at everything as a way to make the home brighter, lighter and cheery,” McBrien explains.

In the end, lively hues, easy comfort and upbeat style prevailed. Thanks to a talented designer and her color-loving clients, the family’s mountain retreat feels just like home.

esigner Morgan Veenendaal generously refers to the original décor of the Park City penthouse that tops the Silver Strike Lodge as “mountainy.” The undistinguished interior featured chunky stone, bulky beams and predictable lodge styling. But with the owner’s directive for something updated and more daring, Veenendaal transformed the ski-in/ski-out residence into a showcase of beguiling treatments, bold colors and luxed-out comfort. “He gave us free rein, so we were able to be super creative,” says Veenendaal, who works with Alder & Tweed Home Outfitters in Park City.

From the get-go, her client craved a color-infused, upbeat transitional décor, says Veenendaal, who enthusiastically embraced the challenge of conjuring this fresh look while decoratively connecting the décor to the home’s spectacular slope-side locale. She began by tearing the penthouse’s interior down to the studs then tweaked the floor plan, reconfigured ceilings and viewed every square inch as an opportunity to create big impact.

“We wanted the interior to be something totally unexpected,” says Veenendaal, whose spirited moves begin just inside the front door. A round entry surprises with faux leather-covered WINTER 2017

A dazzling powder room dressed in cobalt tile opens to the space, finishing it off like a sparkling jewel. “The entry introduces the unique style that runs from room to room,” the designer explains.

Veenendaal’s fearless approach flourishes throughout, but perhaps nowhere more than in the penthouse’s main living area composed of a kitchen, dining room and lounge area. The spaces flow freely into one another and are linked by continuous hardwood floors, warm wood tones and lively colors that pop against a backdrop of more neutral-colored furnishings, fabrics and surfaces. “He told us he wanted to bring

in color, so we chose navy with shots of orange,” says Veenendaal, who expanded the palette with a range of blues, grays and neutrals that link adjoining spaces. “Each room has its own fun thing, but common threads, including color, wallpaper, wood and tile, ensure that you don’t feel like you’re in a different home as you move from room to room.”

The designer’s interplay of materials fosters the interior’s unmistakable comfort. “We used a lot of textures and layers to make it cozy,” Veenendaal says. For the same purpose—and to humanize the rooms’ vertical volume—she traded out 20-foot-high vaulted ceilings and their huge rustic beams with flat, 12-foot-high ceilings framed with streamlined beams that help delineate the open rooms from above.

A low-backed, L-shape sectional, paired chrome-based coffee tables, subtly patterned fabrics and a simple chandelier promote the room’s openness and allow mountain views to reign unobscured.

Similarly heroic, head-turning details continue throughout the home: Spectacular wallpapers dress the master suite and family room, an open-circle motif adorns the kids’ bunk room, and patterned and dimensional tiles animate bathrooms. It’s a spirited décor that gives lively nods to the penthouse’s mountain setting and, best of all, transformed the old ho-hum interior into one that is upbeat, colorful and fearless—just as its owner wanted.

Shot of Sunshine In-season lemons brighten the winter palate.

BY MARY BROWN MALOUF

PHOTOS BY ADAM FINKLE

LEMONS ARE a natural gift in the middle of winter. Just when we need a jolt of brightness and when summer fruit’s sweet tartness is a distant memory, it’s high season for freshpicked lemons. And although the most commonly sold lemon, the Eureka, grows and produces flowers and fruit throughout the year, the winter season delivers an assortment of lemons that zest up dishes of all types and tastes.

WINTER 2017

DINING I N & O U T

Greek To You

Well Preserved Two recipes that make lemons last past the picking Lemon’s high acidity means it can help slow food spoilage—that’s why a toss in lemon juice keeps cut fruits from browning. But because its natural acidity is always appealing, there are several ways to preserve lemon flavor itself— freeze lemon juice in ice cube trays, for instance, or dry lemon zest. Here are two of the most delightful recipes that make your lemon last, one sweet, the other savory.

SWEET: Lemon Curd

SAVORY: Preserved Lemons

Lemon curd is the mayonnaise of the pastry kitchen—it keeps a few weeks if it’s refrigerated, it adds unctuous mouth feel and a gentle tartness to whatever you add it, and it’s incredibly versatile. Also, it’s easy to make.

3 large lemons 1 1/2 cups sugar 1/4 pound unsalted butter, room temperature 4 extra-large eggs Juice of 3 lemons 1/8 teaspoon salt Peel the lemons carefully with a lemon peeler—you only want the yellow zest, not the white and bitter pith.

Process the pieces of peel with the sugar until they are well blended. Cream the butter and beat in the sugarzest mixture. Add eggs, one at a time, then add the salt and lemon juice. Put the mixture in a saucepan and cook over low heat until it’s thick. Cool to room temperature and store, covered tightly, in the refrigerator. Keeps about a month when refrigerated.

Preserved lemons are gaining popularity in American kitchens along with other Mediterranean seasonings. Their unique zesty flavor adds brightness and interest to many of your regular recipes—wherever you might add lemon juice or zest to a savory dish, just chop and stir in some preserved lemon.

5 lemons 1/4 cup salt 1 cinnamon stick, broken in a few pieces 3 cloves 5 to 6 coriander seeds 3 to 4 black peppercorns 1 bay leaf, crumbled Freshly squeezed lemon juice, if necessary Quarter the lemons from the top to within 1/2 inch of the bottom, sprinkle salt on the exposed flesh, then reshape the fruit.

Place 1 tablespoon salt on the bottom of a 1-quart sterilized mason jar. Pack in the lemons and push them down, adding more salt and the spices between layers. Press the lemons down to release their juices and make room for the remaining lemons. (If the juice released from the squashed fruit does not cover them, add freshly squeezed lemon juice—not chemically produced lemon juice and not water.)

Leave some air space before sealing the jar. Let the lemons ripen in a warm place for a month, shaking the jar daily to distribute the salt and juice. To use, rinse the lemons under running water and remove and discard the pulp, if desired.

Preserved lemons can keep up to a year.

HOW TO USE LEMON CURD: A dollop of lemon curd topped with one of whipped cream dresses up a pound cake or angel food cake instantly.

A spoonful in a baked tart shell can be topped with whipped cream or meringue for a mini lemon pie.

Make a graham cracker crust, spread it with lemon curd and top with fresh berries.

Use it as a cake filling for yellow or white cake; ice with vanilla buttercream.

Someone said, “Lemons are to Greek cuisine as tomatoes are to Italian.”

Though not native to Greece, lemons have been commonly used in Greek cooking for thousands of years, and it’s hard to think of Greek food without the flavor of lemon—in classic dishes like avgolemono, the lemon-egg soup, or in lemon rice, or simply squeezed over fresh fish or shellfish. “We juice between 40 to 60 pounds of lemon a week,” says Manoli Katsanevas, owner of SLC’s modern Greek bistro that bears his name. “The acid in lemon makes you salivate instinctively, and that makes food more appetizing,” he says. “And Greek food depends on a lot of lamb, and a lot of grilling—the brightness of fresh lemon balances the richness of the lamb and the slight bitterness of the char. Vinegar could do that, but lemon adds a lighter, fresher note.” For Manoli’s version of the Greek staple, lemon rice, he cooks long-grain rice in a mixture of chicken stock and lemon juice. Other tricks? Squeeze a little lemon over roasted or fried chicken and cooked greens.

Manoli’s uses Pila long-grain rice cooked in chicken stock and lemon, then enriched with a dollop of creamy, house-made Greek yogurt.

WHY A MEYER? The extra-fragrant Meyer is a cross between a lemon and an orange or mandarin. It has a sweeter, more delicate flavor with less acid than conventional lemons, and their thinner skins makes them harder to ship. Use them as you would other lemons, but remember, you’ll need less sweetener.

JUICING TIP: According to the late Michael Field, the best way to extract the maximum amount of juice from a lemon is to boil it in water for 2 or 3 minutes and allow it to cool before squeezing.

You can extract more juice from a warm or room-temperature lemon than a cold lemon.

requently, the remodeled kitchens of conventional homes are also conventional. Then there is the renovated kitchen of this unique, owner-designed five-story home structurally built around a towering Douglas fir tree. As the architects at Elliott Workgroup quickly discovered when they took on this Deer Valley redo project,

nothing about the new kitchen, or its design, could be considered conventional.

“It was a complicated jigsaw puzzle,” says Dallas Davis, lead design architect for the Park City firm, noting the space’s unique shape. The original kitchen was disjointed and narrow with 50-foot ceilings and an attached, little-used patio.

“You walk in and see the dark and moody colors, but the look is comfortable and

he storyline is hardly new: An out-of-state couple buys a resort home in Deer Valley, inspired by world-famous ski snow and spectacular year-round scenery. But their take on slopeside living couldn’t be more novel. Rather than surrounding themselves with dark woods, heavy textures and warm earthtones, these new homeowners opted for a fresher, more colorful approach to mountain style.

“Make it light, bright and open,” says designer Tori McBrien recalling the simple directives her clients expressed about their new Montage Residence. The couple resides in St. Louis where a love for color imbues the family’s primary home. “It was a big driving force,” McBrien says. “I wanted the mountain residence to feel like home for them, so we used their St. Louis décor as a starting point.”

The couple’s new mountain retreat provided some challenges and countless opportunities. Rich cherry doors and millwork subdued the open interior, as did dark granite countertops and a traditional mountain décor. A “lock-off” wall that separated and secured the third bedroom suite from the rest of the onelevel, three bedroom dwelling also cramped its interior. “We ripped out the wall to make one big unit from two smaller ones,” explains McBrien who eliminated the lock-off wall and an adjoining pantry to accommodate a newly expanded kitchen. She painted all of the cherry wood white, replaced dark granite with
