Party On
A few years ago, we threw a holiday party at our house with a lively mix of guests—some on the list, some plus-ones and a few wild cards. At one point, a gregarious couple I didn’t recognize was chatting and laughing with other revelers, drinks in hand, completely at home—until they realized they were at the wrong party. The soirée they were meant to attend was at a neighbor’s house two doors down. Unfortunately, they left, looking almost regretful (though the martinis might have played a role in that). We were lucky they joined us, even briefly, because as we all know, the best get-togethers are all about the mix of guests— even accidental ones.
I’ve always felt that editing this magazine is like hosting a great party. It’s about who and what we invite into our pages. For the past 23 years, I’ve curated each issue’s guest list and, with the help of my team, worked to ensure every edition is a lively, stylish affair and that we’ve asked the right crowd to join us. In our pages, that means celebrated design pros that
our readers know well, rubbing elbows with rising stars they need to know—and a few unexpected guests they’ll be glad to meet. In attendance are must-see homes and spaces from across the state and beyond—ranging from sleek and modern to storied and historic, and everything in between. And, of course, the roster includes fresh ideas to spark conversation and inspire new possibilities.
This issue is no exception. Top design talent, fresh ideas and creative vision all RSVP’d and have joined the festivities. Inside, you’ll discover a dynamic mix of homes, from midcentury-inspired designs and modern mountain retreats to a reimagined traditional residence and an ambitious, more-is-more remodel. We even venture to Cabo San Lucas to savor a dreamy ocean-front getaway. Equally compelling are newcomers Salt Lake City’s Asher Adams Hotel and St. George’s Black Desert Resort. And it’s not just these hot spots that inspire; we’re bringing you the latest in décor tips and trends—spring glassware, art-like sconces, on-trend colors, spring gardening and more. It is a true celebration of creativity, style and fresh perspectives, all designed to elevate the way you live in Utah.
With the party in full swing, I raise my glass and share a big announcement: I’m handing over future hosting duties to our talented associate editor Megan Bartholomew, who’ll be taking the reins as the new editor of Utah Style & Design But I’m not going anywhere. As Editor-at-Large, I’ll still be here, mingling with our crowd to help shape the future of the magazine, contribute to its pages and toast many more creative bashes ahead. Cheers!

MEETS luxury LAVA
Exploring the siteinspired design of Black Desert Resort, where Southern Utah’s red rock and volcanic landscapes shape every detail
BY BRAD MEE
As the rst dramatic design gesture guests encounter, the towering facade of Black Desert Resort’s Center makes a bold statement. A wall of dark basalt tiles, interwoven with glowing orange glass crevices, seems alive with the potential for eruption—as if molten lava might spill through its ery cracks at any moment. e entrance’s site-referential design sets the tone for the entire property, where nature-inspired details pay homage to the rugged lava elds and red rock formations that surround it.
Black Desert Resort, nestled into breathtaking terrain in Southern Utah’s Ivins community, is the vision of founder Patrick Manning. A seasoned entrepreneur with a passion for design and innovation, Manning set out to create more than just a luxury destination—his goal was to craft a “luxury without pretense” experience deeply rooted in the region’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
e resort blends world-class amenities with an eco-conscious ethos, o ering everything from a championship golf course to ne dining and wellness spaces, all designed to harmonize with

Nicknamed “The Great Wall,” the Resort Center’s facade features dark basalt tiles inset with vibrant orange glass crevices, evoking the dramatic imagery of molten lava seeping through its glowing cracks.
Nestled in Ivins, just outside of St. George, Black Desert Resort spans over 600 acres of breathtaking desert terrain. The newly built luxury destination offers nearly 800 hotel rooms and residences, diverse dining options, a worldclass spa, year-round outdoor activities and a 19-hole championship golf course designed by Tom Weiskopf.
the dramatic surroundings. “Looking out across the lava with the red sandstone cli s and pine valleys, we knew that building something as big as Black Desert would require passion and patience to do it responsibly and pay homage to the land at every turn,” Manning says. Under his leadership, Black Desert Resort stands as a testament to thoughtful, place-inspired design, making it a standout addition to the St. George area.
e design of Black Desert Resort draws deeply from its unique desert surroundings, inspired by a small yet powerful detail—a black-and-white feather Manning discovered on the site. is simple element, with its stark contrast and natural beauty, became the starting point for the resort’s distinctive palette. Manning rejected the typical rust-hued adobe interpretations of the Southwest, instead embracing the bold contrasts of the black lava elds, vibrant orange streaks, red rocks and clear blue skies. ese elements informed not only the resort’s colors but also its textures and patterns, creating a design that is both contemporary and rooted in the land.
After a day on the lava-ensconced links, a morning basking by the negative-edge pool or an afternoon exploring the area’s iconic red rock trails, guests can step into the Resort Center and
instantly feel its connection to the landscape they’ve just experienced. “When we began designing Black Desert Resort, our goal was to blend modern luxury seamlessly with the rugged beauty of Southern Utah,” says Molly Enos, Director of Design for Reef Capital Partners and a central gure in the project’s design.
e Resort Center, the heart of Black Desert Resort, embodies this vision through its meticulous design. Amid the contemporary architecture’s clean lines, rectilinear forms and open spaces, subtle nods to the 1960s emerge. Enos highlights features such as low-slung structural lines, a focus on geometrics, playful moments of color and soothing curves. “It’s not about recreating a midcentury modern building but rather about achieving a form that complements the site without stark contrast.” Volcanic stone surfaces, an earth-toned palette and expansive windows framing the surrounding lava elds invite the outdoors in. is thoughtful integration of natural materials and panoramic views allows guests to unwind in spaces that feel both contemporary and deeply connected to the desert landscape.

stone, used prominently throughout, lends a tactile connection to the surrounding lava elds. Floor-to-ceiling windows not only frame breathtaking views but also ood the interiors with natural light, accentuating the organic tones of the custom nishes. Colorful accents, engaging art, intricately patterned metal screens and shapely furnishings in gathering spaces inject a sense of energy and style. Meanwhile, the use of natural materials such as basalt stone, leather and reclaimed wood ensures that the interiors remain timeless and connected to the landscape. is thoughtful connection to the environment is evident in the choice of materials. Basalt, harvested for its natural texture and deep black tone, appears throughout, grounding the design in the volcanic landscape. Parasoleil metal panels, used as balcony dividers, feature patterns inspired by the site’s ora and fauna. Pulled from the exterior, horizontal stripes recur inside on columns, accent walls and the wellness center lobby, ensuring a cohesive dialogue between the architecture and interiors. Interior niches adorned with black and orange mosaic tiles echo the ery cracks of the exterior facade, bringing the drama of the lava indoors. Carpet patterns further explore the landscape’s story, with hues of rust and red representing lava ows in some spaces, while calming blues in others nod to the expansive sky above. Sugi ban burnt wood and natural wood nishes provide warmth, creating a harmonious interplay between rugged and re ned.
One of the most striking features is the three-story lobby atrium, where a suspended light xture evokes lava frozen in time—a poetic nod to the ever-changing yet enduring landscape. “I’m a big believer in telling a story with design, having it ow cohesively and continuously,” Enos says. is ethos ensures that every element, from the architecture to the smallest interior detail, feels intrinsically tied to the desert it inhabits.

HISTORYmaking
Marriott’s Autograph Collection enlists a team of experts to transform Salt Lake City’s historic Union Paci c depot into a wonder of contemporary hospitality
BY MEGAN BARTHOLOMEW PHOTOGRAPHS BY SCOT ZIMMERMAN
IIn October 2024, doors opened on a beautiful exhibition of Utah’s pioneering spirit: a railroad-inspired luxury hotel in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Using the timeless style of the Union Paci c grand hall as inspiration, HKS Architects, Okland Construction and JNS Interior Design came together to meet the challenges of reimagining a historic landmark, including contradicting code requirements and the need for a public easement running directly through the property. With their combined expertise and expert eyes, the Asher Adams was born. e project began with a restoration of the historically landmarked Grand Hall, now used as the Asher Adams’ high-end lobby. “Our intention was to brighten it up a bit, but let everything inside speak for itself,” says Kayla Goldberg, Associate Principal at JNS Architecture + Interior Design. New glass vestibule doors and clever architectural skylights allow
more light into the hall, where a fresh coat of white paint and modernized xtures shed light on original terrazzo ooring and restored locomotive artwork.
When it came to transforming the site into a functional hotel, two distinct designs emerged. In the historic building, 13 rooms celebrate the intersection of historic elegance and modern luxury. Era-appropriate materials shine in a variety of ways: Original exposed brick, steel columns and dormer windows allow the structure to speak for itself, while iron bed frames, brass hardware and sleek white subway tile bring these classic rooms into the modern age.
“ e historic rooms are pretty classically adorned,” says Nicole Nathan, partner at JNS. “All the materials are very timeless and lasting, inspired by this enduring building, but we introduced them on pieces that are very modern.”
OPPOSITE: Updated lighting, modernized windows and a fresh coat of paint lend a new brightness to the historic Union Pacific Depot, now operating as the lobby of the Asher Adams Hotel.
ABOVE: The east side of the new tower boasts a subtle façade, designed to complement the historic building’s beauty without overshadowing it.
One of the many community spaces within the hotel’s main thoroughfare, The Bar at Asher Adams honors the hall’s original use as a train depot. Ticket windows—reconstructed from early 20th-century photographs—serve as liquor displays, surrounded by rounded marbled counters and new metalwork for a sleek and swanky vignette.
Emir Tursic, principal at HKS Architects
The hotel’s eight-story addition, which houses the bulk of the guest accommodations, proved to be a large challenge. The new tower had its own set of modern specs to be met, while acting as the ideal transition from vintage to modern as guests and visitors walk westward through the property. The team had to find a way to match the story of the historic building without it being an exact replica of style.
RIGHT: Just visible through open arches atop the hall’s grand scale, a whiskey bar dubbed No. 119 showcases a darker palette courtesy of Benjamin Moore’s Salamander hue. Masculine materials and polished finishes, including glazed brick and hardwood floors, intentionally modernize the interior space. Original iron-framed windows look outward at South Temple, celebrating the hotel’s prominent location.
“You will notice two distinct facade articulations on the new tower,” says Emir Tursic, principal at HKS Architects. “We had to comply with two sets of guidelines that were very di erent from each other.”
On the east-facing side of the new tower, Tursic describes the facade as “cold and restrained, creating a backdrop for the historic building without distracting or competing.” On the west face, to match the eclectic context of e Gateway’s Olympic Legacy Plaza, dynamic contemporary architecture mirrors the urban setting.
According to Tursic, the unique curvature of the new tower was as much a practical decision as it was an aesthetic one. “ e curvilinear shape allowed us to follow the property line as close as possible, and keep the new tower as far separated as we could to preserve the integrity of the historic building.”
Within the tower’s double-loaded corridors, 225 rooms stand dressed in industrial hardwares and menswearinspired materials to help tell the story of the SLC’s beloved railway station in style. A darkened palette inspired by the grand hall subtly juxtaposes the two buildings: comforting greens, warm coppers and eye-catching blues make their way between sites. oughtfully curated artwork, from vintage postcards to bee-themed murals, o er nods to Utah’s industrious heritage.
Overall, the project was a balancing act of honoring tradition, while simultaneously stepping into the world of modern design. An architectural pioneer in itself, the hotel is the latest method of welcoming visitors into the bustling legacy of Salt Lake City.
“We took the idea of train travel and the feeling you get when traveling by train, and combined it with the everpresent Utah motifs of pioneering and a community ‘hive’ as we were developing concepts,” Goldberg shares. “It felt appropriate to use those two ideas to connect people in this space of hospitality.”
TOP: As seen from The Gateway mall, Asher Adams’ newlybuilt west tower houses 225 modern guest rooms and boasts impressive curvilinear architecture.
MIDDLE: Menswear-inspired materials, including plaid upholstered couchettes and herringbone carpeting, team with carefully selected artwork to tell the railway story in the hotel’s modern guest rooms.
BOTTOM: Timeless materials such as iron and brass come to life on contemporary furnishings in the historic building’s elegant guest rooms, standing out against original brickwork and 16-foot ceilings.

“I create solutions, I’m a problem solver,” says owner and principal designer Allison Campbell. “I’m involved in the whole process from plan to design to completion. I work with the subcontractors onsite and builders call me directly, so my clients don’t have to figure things out.”
This meticulous, detail-oriented firm started in 1999 and its members
quickly earned a reputation as experts in construction design. “Our approach blends knowledge, experience, talent and a touch of humor to make your building journey as enjoyable as possible,” says Campbell. With experience in new construction as well as remodels, this firm offers incredible attention to detail. “Trust the process.

UTAH WINTERS ARE ROUGH AND TAKE A TOLL on your roof. Bartile can inspect your tile roof to see what needs to be replaced or repaired. “No matter what type of roof you have, inspect in spring to see what damage winter did,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “We’re the only manufacturer that has a maintenance department that can service your tile roof.”
You should have your roof looked at every 2–5 years depending on your roof type. “Bartile offers full-service roof inspections as well as seasonal upkeep for northern Utah,” Evans explains. Even if you live outside of northern Utah, they can recommend a certified installer that can do the job for you.
Incombustible, Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating. “If you think you may need a new roof, give us a call and we’ll give you a free estimate for any type of roof replacement,” Evans says. If you had issues with snow sliding on a tile or metal roof, spring is the season to address it. “Even if yours is not a Bartile roof, we provide snow retention solutions on any type of roof and give you a bid for installation,” says Evans. “We’ve been around for 82 years, and for most of that time, we’ve had the installation as well as the manufacturing portions of our company. Some of the roofs we installed that first year are still in place.”
NICK EVANS
General Manager
“Think tiles are bulky? Think again. With our metal gabled finish options, our New England slate tiles not only have a slate look, but when raked with a straight brush, they have a great shake look as well. We can help you create a crisp, thin look at a fraction of the cost and without the fire hazard or maintenance issues of wood or stone.”
ASK THE EXPERT
WHAT ARE YOUR CLIENTS ASKING FOR RIGHT NOW?
Custom factory blends. We do multiple runs of different colors and then we blend those into a single palette. You can choose any color under the sun and we’ll create it.
WHAT INFLUENCES AND INSPIRES YOUR WORK?
The creativity of our clients, homeowners, designers and architects. They give us a feel of what they want and then let us create. We’ve traveled through Europe and studied different roofs from the Old World. We’ve also explored the West to study rustic, thick shakes and crisp, contemporary wood shingles. We create custom options based on our travel and clients.
COMMON MISTAKES HOMEOWNERS
MAKE:
Thinking tile is too heavy for a roof. Our UltraLite tile is so lightweight that it can go on almost any roof along the Wasatch Front. We’ve been making it for more than 40 years, so it’s just as strong and durable as our regular weight tile and has the same warranty.

Inside Out Architecturals, Inc.
WHEN IT COMES TO SELECTING TILE for your home, consider talking to a historical expert. “We’ve helped with several significant historical projects across the state,” says Leah Wynn, owner of Inside Out Architecturals.
“We provide materials, advise designers on which tiles to use and how to install them, consult on the proper colors for different eras and even what kinds of tiles were used. For example, most people think 3-by-6-inch subway tiles are vintage. But actually, 4-by-4-inch square tiles were around a long time before the subway tiles and used in arches and wainscoting.”
Inside Out Architecturals provides a variety of materials to create an environment customized for every individual. Leah Wynn and her team
can help you update and restore the original tile in your home rather than replacing it. “Exterior details such as crowns, dental moldings, even classic design patterns like egg and dart fascinate me,” she says. “That’s why we’re called Inside Out Architecturals.”
Representing more than 50 unique decorative tile lines, Inside Out Architecturals boasts an intriguing collection of tile options from one-ofa-kind stones and large-format glass to enduring traditional flooring and historical ornamentals. “We carry the handiwork of today’s artisans in metal and ceramic tile, glass, leather and dimensional tile that are best described as art.” That includes Rookwood Pottery tile, one of the first female-owned tile manufacturers in the U.S.
LEAH WYNN Owner
Clients would be shocked to know: “I have years of experience and expertise in historical tiles. I am on a list of people in Utah who can consult on historical tile, work frequently with a historian from one of the most influential religious organizations in the state to renovate local churches and buildings, and am a member of the Tile Heritage Foundation.”

Utah is an interesting place. From the Avenues, East Bench and Sugarhouse up into Weber valley, there are hundreds of homes designed in the Victorian or Arts and Crafts Prairie styles. That means there are a lot of vintage Claycraft and Batchelder art tiles. So, a lot of people want to either replace, restore or preserve them. We’ve replicated approximately 10 of these beautiful tiles.

From resorts and restaurants to retail shops and residences, the firm has completed projects coast-to-coast. “A dream team is made up of different players: the homeowners, the architect, the builder and the interior designer,” says Rocke. “Each has different perspectives and objectives and all contribute valuable insight.”
Rocke recommends following some key steps to creating your dream home. “Site your house on the lot to maximize views and create as much privacy as possible. Make sure your spaces are the right dimensions for your furniture and needs with moments of imaginative pause and awe,” she says. “Design a layout in alignment with your lifestyle. Finally, curate your design-build team with care and consideration. Select reputable people you have a pleasant rapport with.”

Pro tip: “Once the design is almost finalized, do a face-to-face page turn with the whole team: architect, builder, engineer, interior designer and client.

With its terrazzo fl oors, color-drenched rooms and savvy design solutions, Maggie Glendenning’s new St. George home is an ode to midcentury cool
Maggie Glendenning, homeowner and principal of Maggie + Co in St. George.

STYLING BY MAGGIE GLENDENNING
Midcentury modern homes have an undeniable swagger about them—the clean, low-slung silhouettes and the seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes every space feel expansive. Warm walnut paneling, open living rooms and sculptural Malm fi replaces practically beg you to sit down and stay awhile. But fi nding one that still has its original charm? That’s another story.
Maggie Glendenning discovered this all too well. As a self-described Zillow hound, she had scoured every mid-century modern listing in St. George hoping to fi nd one that hadn’t been stripped of its character. “Many of today’s homes look and feel so generic,” she says. “Too vanilla.” After a long and fruitless search, she had to face the facts: her ideal midcentury home simply wasn’t on the market. Then came a twist. With post-COVID construction booming, Glendenning and her siblings saw an opportunity—why not build?
They secured a lot in the Bloomington Country Club golf course community, planning a spec home as an investment. As the owner of an event planning and interiors business—and now a newly licensed general contractor—Glendenning took the lead on the project, collaborating with architect Matt Metcalf to bring their vision to life. Her goal? To design a fresh, modern home infused with soul, a nod to the groovy ‘70s-style houses in the neighborhood.
“I love to push cool and fun ideas, so I knew one thing for sure: the rooms wouldn’t be all white,” she says with a laugh. But as the design process unfolded, something unexpected happened—she started planning every detail as if it were her own. And then, it hit her. “Wait, I want to live here,” she laughs. Here, she shares what it took to give this new dwelling’s spaces some serious retro-cool vibe—and how she accidentally ended up with the home of her dreams.
GREAT ROOM
“The wood slatting adds warmth,” Glendenning says of the kitchen’s 15-foot-high, angled back wall of thermally treated pine that anchors the end of the great room with dimension and rich wood tones. “I couldn’t stretch the budget to do wood on all the ceilings, but I still wanted to bring that warmth and midcentury charm into the space,” says Glendenning, who created the accent as a striking, wallet-friendly solution. The wood is from Delta Millworks in Park City.
FIREPLACE
Glendenning knew that a Malm fireplace was a must-have. She positioned it on the raised brick hearth, transforming it into a strikingly colorful focal point in the great room. “It started as fully copper, but the moment I turned it on, it came alive with incredible holographic colors,” she recalls. To balance the space, she selected sheer drapery panels to soften the room while complementing its midcentury-modern aesthetic. A leather-strapped chaise lounge offers a cozy spot to take in patio and golf course views, grounded by a textured rug from Beni Rugs.
KITCHEN
Glendenning furnished the end of the kitchen’s “statement island” with generous shelving and serving space. “Rather than just having lots of barstools, I focused on creating an area at the island’s end for casual gathering and entertaining,” says Glendenning, who also increased the height of the island to make it more comfortable to stand around it. She rejected “bulky and heavy” upper cabinets and, instead, created a hidden pantry beside the refrigerator for storage. “This makes the space feel more open and airy.” The island is topped with striking Dolce Vita Quartz, while Caesarstone adorns the perimeter cabinets, which are painted in Farrow & Ball’s Light Blue. “The color helps break up the wood tones,” she notes, adding a refreshing balance to the open kitchen.
POWDER ROOM
“The blue faucet was the starting point for the design,” says Glendenning, who fearlessly sheathed the walls of her “dark and moody” powder bath with cork tile and clad the floating vanity with Red Rock tile by Fireclay Tile. “I started with the sky-blue and red-rock tones from my home’s desert-inspired color palette.” To soften the room’s angular features, she incorporated an organically shaped Living Pond mirror by Ferm Living and a round Dimple sconce by RBW.
DINING ROOM
The dining room highlights Glendenning’s signature midcentury-modern materials: painted brick and terrazzo tile. Repurposed from a contractor’s surplus, the brick adds texture to a great room wall and forms a bench that doubles as a fireplace hearth. The terrazzo tile—with its mix of white, butter yellow, gray and burgundy tones—was a musthave. “I always knew that I wanted terrazzo,” she says. The tile was originally intended only for the main living areas, but an overage allowed Glendenning to extend it into the bedrooms, with alternate tiles chosen for the laundry room and bathrooms. Colorful furnishings bring the space to life: a custom table from Vanguard Furniture, a vase from Blu Dot and artwork by Anya Molyviatis through Ivester Contemporary Gallery.
PRIMARY BATHROOM
““Surrounded by red rock in the desert, I wanted the colors in my spaces to echo the natural tones of the environment.”
—Maggie Glendenning
Glendenning’s love for fully tiled bathrooms shines throughout the home, where each bathroom features a single tile choice, relying on patterns and colors to create visual impact. Keeping materials consistent, she notes, avoids a sense of “decorative whiplash.” In the primary bathroom, light-toned tile complements the room’s airy feel, with a striking round tub by Signature Hardware as the centerpiece.
GUEST BATHS
In contrast, the guest suites’ bathrooms embrace bold color inspired by the desert landscape. Basil-hued cement tile from Clé brings a fresh vibrancy to one, while earthy red terracotta tile from Zia Tile defi nes the other. “Surrounded by red rock in the desert, I wanted the colors in my spaces to echo the natural tones of the environment,” Glendenning explains.
PRIMARY BEDROOM
DARK NIGHT
Sherwin-Williams
In the primary bedroom, Glendenning embraced a daring palette with SherwinWilliams Dark Night, creating a rich, moody atmosphere that balances the room’s towering ceilings. “The architect suggested lowering the 12- to 14-foot ceilings to 10 or 11 feet, but when we learned how much extra lumber it would cost, we decided to keep them high,” she says. “With the tall ceilings and westfacing windows, I was able to go dark. Th is makes the room feel more comfortable and not like a deep hole,” she explains. An RBW wall light hangs above a Blu Dot nightstand; Cozy Earth bedding dresses the bed by Ellison Studios.
LAUNDRY
The vibrant yellow laundry room is one of Glendenning’s most playful spaces. Finding a concrete tile to match the terrazzo’s thickness was a challenge, but she discovered this Zia Tile with a graphic pattern, warm texture and colors from her palette. She chose a chic European drying rack from Northern, favoring the wallmounted design over a ceiling-hung option. The room’s upbeat vibe is driven by Benjamin Moore’s aptly named Good Vibrations paint.

Glendenning color-drenched her office in a powder blue, similar to the shade of the living room’s sofa, to create a seamless flow throughout the home. While she enjoys working in the space, she admits the walls can cast a blue shadow, making it difficult to evaluate samples. Furnishings include a Blu Dot desk, DWR lamp and chair and a Frances and Son ceiling light.

“I don’t know when we became afraid of color. It adds so much life and energy to a home,” Glendenning says. Embracing that philosophy, she bathed a guest bedroom in Sherwin-Williams’ Soft Apricot, a warm backdrop for layers of desert-inspired hues—peach, terracotta and red rock— woven through the bedding, lighting and rug. “Orange is my favorite color,” she adds. The space is grounded by an upholstered bed frame from Sixpenny and a nightstand from Crate & Barrel.

In Holladay, designer Catherine Goodsell reimagines a oncedark home, infusing it with light, elegance and stylish surprises

The late 70s Holladay house had always been impressive—a sprawling residence with European air, nestled within an expansive wooded lot with manicured gardens. Inside, however, time stood still. Heavy drapes mu ed the sunlight, wood paneling loomed over dark spaces and the furniture felt outdated. When the homeowner decided that both she and the house needed a fresh start, she enlisted designer Catherine Goodsell to breathe new life into her beloved home. e owner wanted a traditional decor, but not in the predictable, old-fashioned sense. “We aimed for classic detailing with a fresh perspective—elegant yet relaxed, re ned but never fussy,” says Goodsell. Clean lines, uncluttered spaces and a sense of lightness were key. Integrating the classic charm of a
A floral mural and rich tones pull the eye into the parlor from the entry.

Flowing from the entry into the living room, the once-dark hallway is now bright and inviting, thanks to freshly painted walls and a soothing palette of textiles and trims. Motorized Schumacher Roman blinds all but disappear, allowing natural light and garden views to flow freely indoors.
French chateau, the new design needed to feel inviting and sophisticated, yet full of unexpected moments of delight. “It was a beautifully crafted custom home,” the designer says. “My goal was to honor its integrity while infusing it with new energy—one that allowed the space to shine in an entirely new light.”
e transformation prioritized the home’s public spaces, beginning with the entry and staircase. “We kept the rich details but placed them in a fresh context,” says Goodsell. She removed the heavily textured plaster and painted the walls and dark paneling in a custom owhite that “feels lush and warm but not yellow.” e once-heavy staircase, weighed down by dark wood and carpeted steps, was simpli ed. “With the paneled walls providing texture, the staircase needed to be calm,” she says. Full-wood treads, a custom runner and understated iron spindles replaced the ornate railing. A white oak newel post and handrail fosters relaxed elegance. Overhead, a modern hand-blown glass chandelier adds an element of surprise, while a reupholstered settee below honors the past. e oncedark hallway received a similar refresh, with o -white walls and a newly dressed window seat. “Now, the light and garden views spill into the space,” Goodsell says. e living room underwent a bold transformation as well. Goodsell covered the walls and hipped ceiling in o -white plaster to create a smooth, uni ed look, while
The living room’s transformation features off-white plastered walls and ceiling, as well as a full-height, French-inspired limestone fireplace by Artistic Stone.

the new French-inspired limestone replace and oor-to-ceiling draperies helped elevate the room’s sense of height. She skillfully blended contrasting shapes, dark and light tones, and varied textures to bring depth and interest to the serene space. “When working with a palette that lacks a lot of color, it’s all about playing with contrast and texture,” she explains. e outdated furniture was replaced with bespoke, sophisticated pieces that de ne two distinct seating areas—one centered around the replace and the other, behind it, dedicated to the piano and musical performances. “In large rooms, it’s ideal to create smaller groupings for di erent activities, making the space feel more intimate and welcoming,” Goodsell adds.

e once buttoned-up o ce was reimagined as an intimate parlor—a personal sanctuary for the homeowner. “It’s a space where she can be surrounded by things that bring her joy, allowing her to re ect and simply be,” says Goodsell. To achieve this transformation, the designer removed the existing built-ins and heavy paneling from three of the four walls, creating a lighter, more inviting atmosphere. Partnering with Artistic Stone, she replaced the original oak replace with a re ned limestone version, adding a sense of timeless elegance. New built-ins o er both storage and display space while framing a cozy nook for a small, skirted sofa set against a striking oversized oral wallpaper by artist Diana Watson. “Its depth was exactly what we wanted—feminine and sophisticated,” Goodsell explains. e wallpaper’s dusty pink hues harmonize beautifully with the rich, chocolate-eggplant shade that envelops the room. “It’s a jewel-box of a space— serene and intimate, yet de ned by a showstopping moment,” she says.
By the time Goodsell nished the overhaul, her client was in awe. Her home still carried the weight of history, but it no longer felt trapped in time. It became fresh, sophisticated and, above all, welcoming—the perfect balance of tradition and transformation.

Anne-Marie Barton marries natural materials with rich textures and a tranquil palette to shape a modern mountain retreat

Raked slabs of Indiana limestone combine with stacked limestone sourced from the home’s exterior to shape the soaring, asymmetrical replace in the open living room. Contemporary Italian furniture with sculptural silhouettes and richly textured rugs infuse the space with luxury and comfort. The sofa and ceiling lights are by Henge, and the coffee tables are by Olivya Stone.
UTo hear designer Anne-Marie Barton tell it, her job is to create homes that feel like living art.
Much like an artist wielding a brush, when every stroke brings the canvas to life, designing such homes requires a skilled interplay of “customization, imagination, and the courage to explore the possibilities of ‘what if,’” Barton explains. Like the bold introduction of texture or a delicate line, these elements converge under her guidance, forming a masterpiece where every detail harmonizes and contributes to the fi nal composition.
Such was the case when she joined architect Michael Upwall and builder Magleby Construction to design and build a family’s heritage house in the mountains of Utah. “It was a wonderful team, and we collaborated every step of the way,” Barton says. Th eir clients were equally involved. “Th ey wanted to be part of the design and were so intrigued and excited by the process,” she adds.
Th e collaborative spirit shines through in the fi nal result: a boldly architectural forever home that fulfi lls the owners’ want for a spacious sanctuary, perfect for generations to gather in luxurious comfort. “Th e wife envisioned a home with the essence of a resort, inspired by the ocean and water,” Barton shares.
Th is vision becomes immediately evident upon entering the home. Sunlight streams through the entryway, where guests are welcomed by the calming sound of water. “As you step through the front door, your eyes are drawn to an undulating, free-standing staircase crafted from glass and white oak,” Barton describes. “At the same time, you hear the gentle trickle of water from a fountain at the base of the two-story feature.”
Nearby, a striking wall clad in rich walnut and aged brass extends dramatically from fl oor to ceiling, soaring 25 feet high. Th is monolithic feature anchors the main entry, wrapping seamlessly around the corner to cover the adjoining closet wall. “When the architect delivers such impressive volume, I look for ways to visually connect the ceiling to the fl oor to help humanize expansive spaces and make them feel more intimate and comfortable,” Barton says.
Th e nearby great room, with its lofty woodclad ceilings, expansive windows and white oak fl oors, posed a similar challenge. Barton tamed its scale with a commanding, full-height fi replace, its enormous forms of raked Indiana limestone and horizontally stacked stone are
The undulating free-standing, white oak staircase resembles stacked building blocks as it performs as the spine of the home connecting the main oor to the lower level rec room, theater and bedrooms. A brass ribbon hand rail trims glass railing, and a striated stone block forms a tranquil fountain integrated into the staircase’s stone platform.

arranged in a compelling, off-centered composition anchored by a dark, Collemandina marble hearth. “Asymmetry creates a sense of curiosity and surprise,” says Barton, who employed it throughout the home, including the kitchen’s off-kilter range hood, a guest suite’s unbalanced desk/cabinet combination, the primary suite’s unmatched bedside lighting and much more. “Asymmetry breaks down a sense of formality, and when paired with fi nishes that are sublime, natural and deeply textural, it creates spaces that feel relaxed and inviting through their imperfect beauty,” she adds.
Lighting also plays a pivotal role in Barton’s meticulously curated designs, in which distinctive forms and striking fi nishes transform her selections into true works of art. In the great room, for instance, sculptural horizontal hanging

lights by Henge span 14 feet overhead. “Their subtle illumination wasn’t meant to light the room heavily but to provide a seductive glow when the lights are dimmed,” she explains. Within the freestanding staircase, Apparatus’ Lariat pendant lights seem to float effortlessly, with the lowest globe suspended delicately above a custom water feature made of blue fusion marble. The dining room features an equally captivating horizontal ceiling fixture, its faceted quartz crystals clasped in brass and softly illuminated. “These glowing, alluring accents not only draw the eye but also help large spaces feel more intimate and inviting,” Barton adds.
Barton’s fearless embrace of “what if” scenarios results in captivating, unexpected design statements at every turn. What if a bold band of ribbing were added to the walnut entry wall? What if organically shaped, low-slung Italian furniture defined the living spaces? Or if both the fireplace and the champagne-brass, hand-hewn range hood were adorned with raised brass fins? What if plaster were used to dress interior walls and ceilings, a
powder room was daringly darkened or a variety of boldly textured rugs were placed throughout with artistic freedom?
The sheer depth and variety of these imaginative treatments are both palpable and exhilarating. “I seek out uniquely tangible qualities in everything I create—where materials, forms, textures and patinas come together to evoke something thrilling and deeply emotional,” Barton explains.
In the end, the home is more than a stunning architectural statement or a showcase of bold design; it’s a deeply personal retreat that reflects the dreams and aspirations of the family who lives there. “Ultimately, my goal is to create spaces that resonate with the homeowners on every level—visually, emotionally and functionally,” Barton says. This house isn’t just a reflection of the designer’s artistry and the talents of those who designed and built it. “It’s a canvas brought to life by our clients’ vision, on which every detail was chosen to honor their story and the legacy they want to build for generations to come.”

This indulgent retreat features a steam room, a sauna, a oater tub set atop natural rock formations and a waterfallinspired shower. Resort-style touches include sedimentary travertine, asymmetrical lighting, chiseled limestone and a bubbling Artistic Stone fountain.

By embracing bold choices, designer Leslie Schofi eld and her clients create a living gallery— a home where every surface and detail refl ects the owners’ passion for art and collecting

Forget any notion of gallery-white walls and museum-like minimalism—this recently remodeled art-centric home in Salt Lake City’s charming Harvard/Yale neighborhood is anything but conventional. While the treelined exterior exudes a quiet, classic appeal, stepping inside the 1936 abode reveals a vibrant explosion of color, pattern and bold design choices, all curated around the homeowners’ cherished paintings and sculptures.
Th e owners, a pair of professionals and passionate art collectors, were focused on overhauling specifi c spaces—namely their kitchen, sunroom and primary suite. Th ey turned to the pros at Leslie Schofi eld Design and Living Home Construction to help them. But as happens with many remodels, the work crept into other areas of the house. “We also worked on the stairway, lower level stairwell, roof and outdoor paint color,” explains designer and principal Leslie Schofi eld.
Th e kitchen kicked off the renovation. “Th e owners love to entertain and value beautiful function over frills,” explains Schofi eld who teamed with lead designer Rory Shaughnessy on the project. With that in mind, the team stripped the galley-style space to its core and reimagined it as a dynamic, highly functional area that refl ects the homeowners’ modern aesthetic. “Every detail was selected not only for practicality, but also for visual impact, turning the kitchen into a gallery of its own,” Schofi eld explains.

State-of-the art appliances are integrated into floor-toceiling walnut cabinets, as is an end-of-room bar framed with quartzite and backed with strikingly patterned tile. Enveloping the space is a custom-colored Holly Hunt wallpaper featuring, appropriately enough, a painterly pattern. “It was a bold yet very intentional choice,” she adds.
The copper-and-bone-hued wallpaper flows into the adjoining living room and stairway. Rather than allowing the stairwell to be merely transitional, the designer turned it into a dramatic focal point. The dazzling wallpaper’s oversized calligraphic strokes create movement, pulling the eye around the room and up the staircase. Thoughtfully-placed artwork punctuates the ascent, making each step an experience. And while some might consider the wallcovering a distraction from the art, the designer believes otherwise.
“There is so much motion in the wallpaper, so the art is where

your eye rests,” she explains. Sleek chrome railings and seamless wood steps and treads deliver contemporary elegance and edge, ensuring the stairwell is more than just a passage—it’s a visual journey.
Upstairs, the primary suite’s dark, saturated tones set the stage for relaxation while maintaining an element of the unexpected. Dark wallpaper wraps the room in a dramatically patterned, textured backdrop that enhances—rather than competes with— the curated artwork. “The dark tones make the room feel like a cocoon,” says Schofield, who switched to a lighter, more serene ambiance for the adjoining bathroom. “Everything is simple and quiet, yet still breathtaking,” she says.

A square-dotted grid wallpaper wraps the walls and ceiling with a playful yet sophisticated pattern chosen to complement black-and-white tile that edges the room’s steps as well as those in the revamped basement stairwell. “Fully wrapping the room in wallpaper made the room feel expansive, even with its low ceiling and step down,” says Schofield, who included large lockers finished with black automotive paint as thoughtfully designed storage solutions that ensure this space is both functional and artistic. This renovation challenges the notion that artwork must always stand alone, that interiors should fade into the background. Instead, Schofield’s fearless approach proves that art and design can coexist dynamically, enhancing each other in unexpected ways. The result is a home that feels curated but never stiff, expressive but never chaotic. Working with their talented team, the owners have done more than update this structure—they’ve transformed it into an extension of their collection, a place where their love for art and design finds its fullest expression. Bold, textured and unapologetically vibrant, this home is not just a place to display art—it is art itself.

In Heber, designer Gregg Hodson and talented pros knock the predictability out of their clients’ new mountain home, thanks to deft customizations, modern sensibilities and skillfully deployed midcentury furnishings
Nestled in Heber’s Red Ledges community, the Club Cabin residence harmonizes with its rugged mountain surroundings. A spacious deck at the back offers stunning views of the cedarcovered landscape, Mt. Timpanogos and the Wasatch Mountains.
CCall it a sequel, of sorts. After designer Gregg Hodson helped his clients craft a chic desert retreat in Southern Utah—nuanced with the midcentury-modern swagger reminiscent of a Slim Aarons photoshoot—he faced a new frontier, literally. The setting shifted from the second home’s sunbaked terrain in Ivins to the rugged red rocks and soaring peaks of the Red Ledges community in Heber, just outside of Park City. But the designer’s mission remained the same: channel classic, Mad Men-era sophistication, while making it work in a place where log cabins and rustic charm often set the tone. “Midcentury design emphasizes clean, simple lines and minimal ornamentation, which complements the natural terrain and unpretentious aesthetic of a mountain home,” Hodson explains.
For the empty-nesting couple, who resided for 24 years in a large family home in Sandy’s Pepperwood community, this shift marked a fresh chapter in their lives. “We always wanted to live
in the mountains but still be close to family and the city,” the husband explains. Their search led them just an hour away to Red Ledges, a serene mountain community known for its rolling greenery, scenic golf course and sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains. He adds, “We like the laid-back nature of Heber Valley; it’s quaint and humble.”
With a focus on downsizing, the couple opted for a Club Cabin residence, enlisting interior designer Gregg Hodson, home designer Kevin Price and builder Jonathan Adams of JD Construction + Development to bring their vision of a lockand-leave, mountain-modern retreat to life. Price had designed the Club Canyon homes for Red Ledges, including their elevations and footprints. To accommodate these clients, Price, Hodson and Adams customized this 4,500-square-foot home’s interior to meld modern design with the rugged beauty of its mountain surroundings.
ABOVE: The original 22-foot vaulted ceiling was replaced with a 10-foot beamed ceiling, creating space for a second-level bunkroom and sitting area above. Distinctive white oak ceiling treatments in the adjoining kitchen and dining room add warmth and distinction. Furnishings include a Knoll Womb Chair, a Crate & Barrel side table and Room & Board swivel chairs.
A monolithic fireplace clad in charcoal Neolith anchors the living room. Custom built-ins feature floating white oak shelves, allowing light to illuminate the textured wallcovering behind. Knoll armchairs encircle a Saarinen table with a dark stone top.
White oak cabinets by Riverwoods Mill feature horizontal graining that helps to define the kitchen’s contemporary style. Quartz forms the countertops and covers the range-wall backsplash, extending to the ceiling to foster fluidity and a polished finish.
Hodson led the charge to make the home less rustic and more contemporary. The great room’s original plans included a vaulted ceiling typical of most mountain homes, soaring 22 feet above the living room space. At Hodson’s direction, the team transformed the ceiling, lowering and leveling it to 10 feet while providing space above for a second story bunkroom and playroom. “This created more living space above, but more importantly, it made the living room feel more relatable and comfortably scaled,” the owner says. Hodson also lowered and decoratively detailed high hallway ceilings “to prevent them from feeling like tall narrow tunnels.” And while the plans included plentiful windows, many were enlarged to promote a more contemporary style while opening the interior to the mountain views and more natural light.
The clients’ existing desert home informed many of Hodson’s design decisions. In the kitchen, for example, he replicated a ceiling feature from the Ivins home, inserting a wood-clad tray of beams above the island. Rejecting a “splintery”

ceiling tray crowns the open kitchen. The steel range hood echoes the dark tones of the living room fireplace. In the dining area, a round Eames table pairs with George Nelson upholstered chairs for a timeless look.
Bright orange custom-painted bunk beds from Room & Board energize the space, complemented by shiplap and barnwood paneling. The adjoining playroom features colorful art and a Paul Smith fabric-upholstered window seat.
rustic wood, Hodson chose straight-lined white oak for the interior’s beams in a finish slightly different from those of the light-toned oak floors, trim and cabinetry. “It’s always better not to try to match a material used in multiple ways,” he says. High contrast also animates the Heber home, just as it does the owners’ desert digs. Played against near-white walls and light wood floors, the living room’s Neolith-clad fireplace and the kitchen’s range hood are dramatically dark. So too is the black hardware and charcoal-hued, stone-look tile that grounds the entry and the bathrooms throughout. “The consistency of dark and light is rhythmic, and you feel it,” the designer says.
The owners have a deep appreciation for midcentury-modern furniture and original designs by the influential creators of the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s. Hodson shares this passion and eagerly incorporated midcentury pieces into the residence. On that note, a Saarinen table and Knoll chairs furnish a welcoming corner near the living room fireplace. In the two-story entry, a cluster of Nelson

LEFT: Resembling a contemporary jewel box, the sink area of a boy’s bathroom is boxed in white oak and features a back-lit floating vanity. Hodson tiled the access hallway floor-to-ceiling in classic white tile to complete the look.
Bubble pendants adds surprising shapes and a warm glow, while in the kitchen, walnut Charles Eames Shell Stools team timeless charm with the quartz-topped island. Throughout the home, the curated collection of iconic mid-century pieces is both impressive and livable. Hodson explains, “Today’s lifestyle is more straightforward, and this furniture mirrors that simplicity with its clean, refined lines.”
Ultimately, this Heber home achieves a perfect balance between modern sophistication and the rugged charm of its mountain setting. It’s a warm and welcoming sanctuary that reflects the clients’ new chapter—downsized yet refined, simple yet striking. “It feels both timeless and perfectly attuned to its surroundings—and, most importantly, to its owners,” Hodson concludes.
Enlarged windows fl ood the secondstory media room with natural light and mountain views. The beamed and wallpapered ceiling enhances the design, while a shiplap-clad nook with a window seat adds coziness. Modern touches include DWR Flight Recliners and a Flos Tab fl oor lamp.

“Th e Stevens wanted to build Casa en las Rocas to have a memorable place their entire family could come and enjoy,” says Ellis. “Th ey’re very family-oriented, and they wanted their children, relatives and friends to feel comfortable in the home.”
Ironically, while the project began with family gatherings in mind, the dawn of COVID quickly complicated their plans. Th e Stevens and

Ellis were able to meet in person to select hard finishes for the abode, but when COVID hit, all travel and in-person meetings came to a halt. Fortunately, the construction crew in Cabo was able to continue building throughout the pandemic, equipped with special permits and cautionary measures. But continuing to finalize the overall design proved to be a logistical challenge between Ellis and her clients.
“We would mail fabric swatches back and forth to each other, and we ended up choosing all the furniture without ever going to a showroom together,” explains Ellis. “It was the first time we had to figure out how to design without meeting in person. It required a lot of shipping and a lot of trust.”
It helped, too, that Mary was very hands-on and “thinks like a designer,” as Ellis puts it.
Despite the challenges, no design detail was overlooked. Together, she and Mary handselected everything from the hardware to the many slabs of stone featured throughout the dwelling. “Mary loves unique pieces,” says Ellis. “She didn’t want regular marble; she wanted something she had never seen before.”
For a fresh take on south-of-the-border style, they chose a variety of vibrant stone patterns such as blue agate, and adopted a blue and green color story—a nod to the waves crashing on the rocks outside—paired with sandy neutrals. The walls inside the home are clad in hand-carved plaster to mimic split-face limestone. Mary and Ellis also focused on weaving eye-catching elements by talented local artisans and craftsmen throughout the home, including Mexican artwork, handfinished wall textures and custom-designed ceiling treatments.

LOWER RIGHT: Hand-selected Royal Jade marble slabs enrich the open kitchen. Quintus counter stools are covered in a Holland & Sherry fabric.
“Art was an important part of this house,” says Ellis. “From actual art pieces to sculptural ceilings and bath tubs, the house is meant to showcase craftsmen and artists from all over the world.” Special art pieces include a 74-inch-wide handmade ceramic disc triptych by Charabati Bizzarri Ceramica, and petrified wood trees hung in glass from Cabo’s own Pietra Gallery.
Although the finished home is quite large— clocking in at nearly 20,000 square feet, including all outdoor living areas—it manages to still feel inviting thanks to plenty of gathering spaces for guests and a smart floor plan situated around a central interior courtyard that connects all of the rooms. In the courtyard, a pair of striking cantilever staircases descend from the upper level to the main floor; a reflecting pool sits beneath each. The pools are lined in Black Galaxy granite, which features glints of gold, mimicking the open ceiling and twinkling stars above.
The main level includes a large, open concept living/dining area and kitchen that opens to the outdoor terrace and infinity pool, a game/media room with a pool table, two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a powder room, a pool powder room and a back-of-house bathroom. On the upper level, there are five bedrooms and bathrooms, an office and an additional media room with a bathroom. “Each bedroom opens to the interior courtyard. Because the seasons can be very hot or cool or rainy, so we wanted to make sure guests in the upper bedrooms had a place to gather and hang out,” explains Ellis.
When it came to designing the various bedrooms, Mary adopted a “mi casa es su casa” approach, selecting paint colors and furniture

pieces she thought specific loved ones would enjoy. As a result, each bedroom has its own unique personality and color palette. “She was so thoughtful with every space,” says Ellis.
Once COVID restrictions were fi nally lifted, the Denton House Design Studio team fl ew to Cabo to install everything and put the fi nishing touches on the house. “It was such a nice thing for the Stevens to have at the end of all of it,” says Ellis. While Casa en las Rocas was their fi rst design project together, it wasn’t their last: Ellis has continued to work with the couple on homes in Colorado, Montana and most recently in Maui. And what better way to bring people together. As Ellis says, “It has created a beautiful and lasting friendship.”

BULB Smart
Spring gardens are nature’s master class in fall bulb design. Let this season’s vibrant blooms and landscapes inspire autumn’s bulb planning and planting.
BY BRAD MEE | PHOTOS BY MIKKI PLATT
Garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment lined a path with masses of tall tulips, creating a vibrant statement of color and motion.
A mix of snowdrops, hyacinths, and tulips edges the garden, layering early, mid, and late bloomers to create a continuous wave of spring color that lasts all season.
SSpring has sprung. Trees are budding, the grass is greening and everywhere you look, bulbs are blooming. If you love the season’s pageantry of flowering tulips, crocus, daffodils and more, now is the time to gather ideas and inspiration from this season’s show for next fall’s bulb planting. Yes, autumn is the season for planting many flowering bulbs, but spring is the time to watch and learn.
As you look at your neighbor’s colorful flower beds, public gardens and commercial landscapes, take note of the colors, shapes, and combinations of flowering bulbs that stand out. “There’s inspiration everywhere,” says garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment, who has planted more than her fair share of bulbs across Utah, from clients’
Flower Power
Popular Spring Bulbs for Utah
Tulips (Tulipa spp.)
Bloom Time: Mid to late spring, depending on the variety.
Care Needs: Plant in full sun to part shade with well-drained soil. Tulips prefer cold winters and may naturalize in the right conditions but often need to be replanted yearly for the best display.
Daffodils (Narcissus spp.)
Bloom Time: Early to mid-spring.
Care Needs: These hardy bulbs thrive in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Once planted, they are low-maintenance and often return year after year, even multiplying over time.
Crocuses (Crocus spp.)
Bloom Time: Late winter to early spring.
Care Needs: Crocuses do well in sunny locations and well-drained soil. They are perfect for naturalizing in lawns or garden beds and require little maintenance once established.
Hyacinths (Hyacinthus orientalis)
Bloom Time: Early to mid-spring.
Care Needs: These fragrant flowers prefer full sun to partial shade and moderately moist, well-drained soil. They can be planted in containers or garden beds, but blooms may weaken over time unless bulbs are refreshed.
Alliums (Allium spp.)
Bloom Time: Late spring to early summer.
Care Needs: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. These tall, striking blooms are drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making them perfect for low-maintenance landscapes.
Grape Hyacinths (Muscari spp.)
Bloom Time: Mid to late spring.
Care Needs: These tiny, clustered blooms thrive in full sun to partial shade. They naturalize easily, creating colorful drifts, and require minimal care once established.
Fritillaries (Fritillaria spp.)
Bloom Time: Mid to late spring.
Care Needs: These unique, bell-shaped flowers prefer welldrained soil and full sun to partial shade. They often benefit from slightly acidic soil and good air circulation to prevent rot.
Snowdrops (Galanthus spp.)
Bloom Time: Late winter to early spring.
Care Needs: Plant in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil. These delicate, white blooms are among the first to appear and require little maintenance once established.
IN THE GARDEN
private gardens to the grounds of The Grand America Hotel in downtown Salt Lake City. “Visit Temple Square, Thanksgiving Point’s Tulip Festival, Red Butte Garden, Tulips at the Grand and neighborhood gardens,” she says.
“Take note of what speaks to you,” Wayment suggests. Consider the layout and interplay of the plantings. Observe how different color schemes create distinct moods, from bold and dramatic reds and yellows to soothing pastel palettes. Take note of height variations— taller blooms like alliums or fritillaries can add drama at the back of a bed, while low-growing crocuses or grape hyacinths work beautifully as borders or groundcover. And in many gardens, layering is key. By combining early, mid and late-season bloomers, there is always something catching the eye. “I like the late spring bloomers the most because we can have late snows,” Wayment says.
To ensure the garden remains attractive after the bulbs have faded, many garden designers pair bulbs with perennials, ornamental grasses or evergreen plants. Often, they incorporate companion plants, such as hellebores or hostas, that can fill in gaps and provide texture and interest throughout the growing season. “Don’t be afraid to experiment,” Wayment encourages. “Gardens evolve and each year is an opportunity to refine your design.” Whether you prefer the natural, meadow-like look of Red Butte Garden or a formal, structured displays like those at The Grand America, the combinations you envision now and emulate with fall planting will shape a vibrant, thriving springtime garden next year.

POT LUCK
Planting sprouted bulbs in pots during spring is an excellent way to bring immediate color and vibrancy to your garden or patio. These tips will help you achieve a seamless transition and lasting results.
Select Healthy Plants
Opt for pots featuring robust, green foliage and firm stems. Steer clear of plants with yellowing or drooping leaves, as these may be signs of stress.
Check Bloom Stage
Whenever possible, choose bulbs that are just starting to bloom or have unopened buds. This will allow you to enjoy their flowers for a longer time after planting.
Examine the Roots
Carefully inspect the bottom of the pot to ensure the roots are not overly compacted or circling, as this could suggest the plant is root-bound.
Select the Right Pot
Choose a pot with excellent drainage and enough space to support the roots and allow for future growth.
Create Visual Interest
Combine bulbs with complementary plants like trailing ivy or colorful annuals to design a vibrant and attractive container.
Use Quality Potting Mix
Opt for fresh, nutrient-rich potting soil to provide the ideal balance of nutrition and drainage for sprouted bulbs.
Maintain Proper Watering
Bulbs in containers dry out more quickly than those planted in the ground. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid overwatering.

SIMPLICITY SPEAKS VOLUMES
“I captured several photos of this gorgeous kitchen, but this image quickly became my favorite. Riverwoods Mill tasked me with showcasing the room’s exquisite cabinetry, and after photographing the entire space, this particular composition stood out. e soft lighting, neutral palette and straightforward angle draw you in and help celebrate the details that may be overlooked in more complicated photographs: the curve of the island, the layered archways, the intricate tile backsplash, the hazy-glass orb pendants and the richly grained wood. Stronger lighting, higher contrast or a more dramatic angle might have distracted from these elements. is image is a reminder that simplicity often reveals the true essence of a design and showcases its true soul.”
