Welcome to our home edition of St. George City Lifestyle.
We know the familiar sayings—"Home is where the heart is.” Or this one by Laura Ingalls Wilder, “Home is the nicest word there is.” And Charles Dickens penned, “In love of home, the love of country has its rise.”
I must have a thousand or more quotations about home that speak to my heart, each one deeply meaningful and inspiring. This I know: I have always loved my home, wherever it has been.
I was reared on a farm on the outskirts of a little southwestern Idaho town, and I stayed in the same home until I went away to college in Hawaii at 17. When I married my husband, we lived in a number of different homes in a number of different places—from Taiwan to California to Virginia and Maryland and from Hong Kong to Utah. In Hong Kong we lived in five different homes.
I used to ask myself: How can I make my home a real home if I know it is only going to be temporary? That question was answered one day by a woman whose husband was a senior military official. She had moved numerous times, sometimes a move after a year or two—onto the next place. She said happiness came for her when she realized how important it was to live in each home as if you are going to live there forever; make it a genuine place of beauty, where joy knows no bounds, she would say.
Through the years, I’ve thought about her words and have taken them to heart. I love where I am in my home right now, for now, a place where I can stream my favorite music, read inspirational books and reflect on the years of love and life with my husband and family. My wish is when family and friends enter my home, they feel a little bit of heaven.
Hopefully, this month’s features will cause us each to reflect on our homes and the memories we are making within. Happy homebuilding,

INTERIOR STYLING
ARTICLE BY LEANN PARKER
Have you ever pieced together an outfit for a special event or placed a collection of items on a shelf and then stood back and found that the pieces you pulled together totally worked or completely did not work? I used to think that I either needed a whole lot of talent or a bit of luck when it came to styling something beautifully. Turns out, there is no talent or luck about it at all. It all starts with a math formula. This formula is known as The Golden Ratio of 1.618. Discovered in the ancient world by mathematicians, this pattern can be found all over in the world of nature. This ratio creates patterns that can be found on the spines of a pinecone, seeds on a sunflower head, spirals on seashells, even the human form, to name only a few. And our eyes love to see it. Why our eyes like this particular pattern may remain a mystery but how to achieve it is no mystery at all. Fashion designers, interior designers, architects, photographers and artists have all been using this formula for centuries in order to achieve visually appealing compositions. And so can you!
LET’S MAKE A VIGNETTE!
In interior styling, a vignette is a small, curated collection of objects grouped together to create a smaller picture within a larger space in a room. Chances are, at some point you’ve put together a vignette without knowing it was one. What makes the difference between a purposefully styled vignette and a cluttered collection is all in the composition. The composition is most appealing when this amazing Golden Ratio is applied.
To get started on styling a vignette, first decide on the space you’ll place it. It could be an empty shelf, bedside table, or coffee table. Next, collect a few of your very favorite things that could be styled there. These objects could be a few books, a vase with flowers, a candle, a small clock, a plant, a few apples, the list is endless. Now that you have your space and objects to style, it’s time to assemble your vignette.
GET IN LINE!
Where To Place Objects
In grid form, the Golden Ratio shows designers exactly where to place the most important objects in the composition for the greatest visual appeal. Known as Phi, this grid splits the space that you’re working with into thirds vertically and horizontally. To apply to your vignette, place the most important objects on the correlation grid lines. Even better, place on the points where the lines intersect. This will be more appealing to the eye than if the important objects are in the center of the frame or far to the sides.
FOLLOW THE FLOWERS
How many objects to use
In number form, the Golden Ratio helps us to know how many items to use when styling a vignette. This form is known as the Fibonacci Sequence (0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.). The sequence grows as it adds together the prior two numbers to get a new number (for example, 3+5=8 and 5+8=13, etc) and repeats. Amazingly, all the numbers that you achieve by doing this are the exact same numbers of petals that are found on flowers. How amazing is that! To apply to styling a vignette, choose a number in the Fibonacci Sequence for the number of items you will use to style. Typically 3 or 5 objects work great for small vignettes.
STEP DOWN OR TRIANGLE
What shape to create
The eye loves to see odd numbers. Odd numbers stop our brain from categorizing items into pairs which are less visually interesting. When styling a vignette, build a triangle shape of 3 points with the objects you are styling. To achieve this, vary the heights of objects to make a stepping down effect. If your items are of similar height then use books or a small object to lift one higher so that it appears taller than the others. To start, place the tallest piece in the back, medium piece in front and slightly to the side of the tall piece, then the smallest piece in front to create a stepping down effect. The Golden Triangle has angles of 72 and 36 degrees but any triangle here will do!
LAYERS UPON LAYERS
How to place objects
Avoid straight lines when styling a vignette. Three objects placed side by side is far less interesting than if they are slightly overlapped (literally or visually). Layer objects in order to give them a sense of belonging together, as random of a collection as they may be. Layering can also be achieved by mixing textures (woven basket, shiny glass and organic leaf).
TO MIX OR TO MATCH
How to choose objects
Decide ahead of time if your vignette will be a mixture of items or a single themed collection. If you’re mixing (such as using a vase, a plant, and a candle) then make sure your objects all have a commonality either of color, texture or form. If you’re going with matched items (such as all white candles) then take extra care to use odd numbers and varying heights for visual interest.
I hope you have fun creating your vignette and share them with me over on IG @SilvertoothHome . You can also visit me at my website SilvertoothHome.com I’m excited for you to check it out and learn more with me there!
A NATURAL Garden Oasis
Plants, ponds and people live in harmony at Salamander Springs
ARTICLE BY MARIANNE HAMILTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALAN HOLBEN
Zac and Joey Gibson know one thing for sure: In nature, as in life, there’s more cooperation than competition, and nature will always try to right itself.
Since launching their company, Salamander Springs—which offers custom design services for homeowners wishing to add water features to their properties—the couple has learned to work harmoniously, and patiently, with flora and fauna. For those wishing to create a self-sufficient, sustainable backyard oasis, the Gibsons are eager to share their considerable skills.
Married for 31 years, Zac and Joey come by their knowledge of permaculture by way of personal experience. The pair purchased a Bloomington Ranch property in 2019, aiming to add a natural pool inspired by the bodies of water Zac had sloshed through in rural northern California as the child of a single dad.
“I spent a lot of time swimming,” Zac recalls. “But I didn’t like community pools that much, because of all the chemicals. I’d go out and catch frogs, snakes, lizards, and fish; there were so many beautiful ponds in that area, and I always wanted to have a property like that. So, 25 years ago, I decided to build a full-sized swimming pool to show people how to work with nature, and what’s possible.”
With a desire to create a pool that looked “like it had always been there, and the house was built around it,” Zac got to work on a back lot that was then filled with Bermuda grass. Shaping the land and bringing in rock, he carefully incorporated trees and structures, some of which had been on the property for four decades. Throughout the design, excavation and landscaping process, Zac and Joey scrupulously avoided the use of pesticides or other chemical compounds, employing composting and other natural fertilizers.
In May 2020, Salamander Springs—so named in honor of tiger salamanders, one of Zac’s favorite creatures—was filled for the first time. What followed seemed miraculous: Within days, 12 brand-new bird species, including owls, hawks and herons, made the site their home, many building nests in the trees shading the pool. Weeks later, hundreds of tree frogs took up residence.
“It was amazing to hear them during the mating season; at times the sound was almost deafening!” Zac says, laughing.
The next fall, the Gibsons reveled in the sight of monarch butterflies dotting the 15-year-old milkweed plants adjacent to the pool. Soon, the foliage was festooned with caterpillars from top to bottom. Joey started posting photos of the new residents on Facebook; in short
order she was contacted by Utah Friends of Monarchs, a nonprofit that engages and educates state residents in the conservation of the beloved butterflies.
Says Joey, “I was asked what we’d done to attract the butterflies, and I said that we’d recently added the pool. They think that was the tipping point; the butterflies had water that wasn’t full of chemicals, and access to the minerals in the mud.
“We were also asked if we’d been certified as a Monarch Waystation; those are places that provide breeding areas for Monarchs as they migrate from the U.S. and Canada to Mexico during the winter,” Joey adds. “It turns out that we were already doing the things required for certification: We don’t cut our plants down during the winter, which helps the ‘pollinators,’ and the milkweed nectar provides a food source for the adult butterflies. Basically, we support every stage of the Monarchs’ lifecycle.”
Joey and Zac have turned their love for the most natural, intervention-free form of gardening into a thriving business, offering tours and classes at Salamander Springs. Joey just finished teaching a four-week course on sustainable gardening through Utah Tech’s Community Education program, focusing on using native plants and helping pollinators. For his part, Zac still loves nothing more than getting his hands dirty—and solving problems.
“A lot of the calls we get are about fixing something, whether it’s redoing a water feature that isn’t working properly or helping someone figure out what they can grow for food. We love to solve problems and help people!”
BEYOND THAT PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS
Perhaps surprisingly, southern Utah residents have abundant gardening options. Salamander Springs proprietors suggest adding these native plants; in addition to their beauty, many have the added benefit of attracting birds, bees, butterflies and other creatures: sumac, milkweed, mint, sage, elderberry, silverberry, mesquite, creosote bush.
“We’re trying to create healthy communities with nature and people, to bring people together in a common cause.”
– Zac Gibson
Zac adds that with sufficient time and patience, Mother Nature is a pretty good problem-solver herself. Case in point: Just days after first filling their pool, a large algae bloom appeared. The Gibsons pulled out much of the uninvited greenery, packing it around surrounding plants (Joey dubs algae “a great fertilizer”), then noticed that the fish they’d stocked in the pool were happily feasting on the remaining bloom. Within a week, the water began to clear, and has remained so ever since.
In our experience, nature always tries to right itself,” Joey confirms. “As humans we always want everything to happen right now; to be more immediate in fixing problems. Nature doesn’t work that way.”
“We want people to fall in love with nature,” Zac concludes. “We’re trying to create healthy communities with nature and people; to bring people together in a common cause. We believe that’s what we all need to do, to create a better world.”

Sleep Inside, Outside
3 Incredible places to (literally) sleep under the stars
Photography by Amangiri, USA
It’s always magical to spend a night sleeping under the stars. In decades past, adventure seekers have packed the SUV or camper with tents and gear for ‘roughin’ it’ in the great outdoors. But the swanky and exploding category of luxury outdoor hotels is something to investigate for an unforgettable, next-level experience.
For those who prefer glamping rather than pitching their own tent fireside, here are a few options that incorporate sweeping views and a unique
opportunity for travelers to be more authentically embedded in the landscape of the place they’re visiting. These resorts have bucket list-worthy rooms that capture the best of both the luxury resort experience and the outdoors.
Whether you crave the dry heat of the remote Utah desert or the luminous beauty of the Northern Lights, we’ve curated a short list of some places you *must* check out.
Amangiri, Utah
In southern Utah, Amangiri is a five star resort perfect for an adventurous weekend in the desert. However, it is the simple rooms built to emphasize the beauty of Canyon Point that truly make it an incredible place to stay. Each suite has an outdoor lounge and fireplace with private pools or rooftop terraces available too. Don’t miss a dip in the ‘gram-worthy pool, which wraps around the landscape’s curved dunes and arid plateaus.

Hacienda Na Xamena, Ibiza
The Spanish island Ibiza boasts lush pine forests, hidden calas (cove beaches) and Hacienda Na Xamena, a resort suspended on a cliff 600 feet above the Mediterranean. Guests flock to its spa for the eight saltwater thalassotherapy (seawater as a form of therapy) lagoons, which are linked together with waterfalls. Swim to the edge of the pool and drink in the sweeping sea vistas.
Pacuare Lodge, Costa Rica
This jungle hideaway is so out there, you have to whitewater raft down a river or ride a gondola to get there. A network of hanging bridges connect the villas, which have thatched roofs, plantation teak wood floors, rattan furniture and private plunge pools. In the evening, zip 400 feet down a cable for a meal at the Nest, a platform at the top of a ceiba tree, then take a night-time stroll along romantic pathways lit by candles and lanterns.

Frozen Japanese ramen and dumplings from around the world are a hit, and flavor-packed Thai simmer sauces are delicious. My personal favorite is Blue Elephant from Thailand.
YES, CHEF
Most of us enjoy cooking at home but want the convenience of “cheffy” kits for the home chef.
Consumers are increasingly seeking change to gourmet-quality meals in convenient formats. With inflation hitting our pocket books, many consumers are looking for restaurant-quality meals at home, especially with great home cooking equipment and quality ingredients. Top olive oils from around the world, charcuterie, cheeses and truffles are much easier to find and use today.
GIMME SOME SUGAR
New styles of health-focused eating sees new styles of sweeteners: Burlap and Barrel’s single origin sugars and honeys. Other favorites are Runamok honeys and maple syrups. Hot honey drizzled over a piece of brie is fabulous!
SAY CHEESE
Flavored cheese is another trend that is a sure winner. Try Vermont Creamery’s honey-truffle goat cheese log or Utah’s own, Barely Buzzed or Big John’s Cajun from Beehive Cheese. Another favorite is flower-topped R. Jacquin’s Fromage de Cheve. Your local cheese store has many cheeses infused with lemons, berries and herbs.
VINEGARS WITH PIZZAZZ
Multiple vinegars are cropping up as reductions, fruity condiments (think balsamic) and shrubs.
Look out for vinegar-based condiments like Puerto Rican pique or Filipino sawsawan. Cucumber vinegar will be one to watch for.
OIL-BASED SAUCES AND BLACK GARLIC
Fly by Jing and Momofoku have delicious flavors. Black garlic will be a new trend to look for in specialty snacks, rubs and seasonings. My favorite is black garlic hummus, hand prepared.
PURPLE RAIN
Lavender flavor is a floral note making its way into everything from cheese to drinks. Experiment with making mocktails using club sodas and lavender or quality ginger ales, such as Fever Tree to elevate your beverages.
Try one or several of these new trends and products to elevate your dinner tonight. After all, cooking at home celebrates innovation and tradition—and offers dazzling, extraordinary flexibility for you and those you love.
