AT HOME

A PLACE TO CALL HOME

With a soothing color palette and moody use of bold accents, this beautiful Stone Colonial home, by Utah designer and builder Cambridge Home Company, boasts daring design elements that bring balance and comfort to a timeless yet modern home. “Designed for a large family, and with an emphasis on hosting large gatherings, the formal family room was created as a place that could entertain many while maintaining an intimate usable space for everyday life,” says Rochelle Broadhead, Creative Director at Cambridge Home Company. Upon entering the home, the foyer allows for a place to welcome guests that opens to a spacious formal family room with floor to ceiling windows and doors capturing a breathtaking view of an unobstructed Utah mountain range.

A two-stage crowned ceiling is detailed with a mix of Federal and Georgian style moulding. “We used a mix of bold shapes and simple beaded moulding to refine the trim elements to really make a statement,” says Chad Broadhead, Master Carpenter and Principal at Cambridge Home Company.

The marble fireplace is a beautiful focal point to the room. “Our home owner was inspired by a beautiful historical fireplace. We worked with Stone Mountain Fireplaces to scale and hand carve the beautiful detail as a breathtaking centerpiece to this formal gathering space,” says Rochelle.

Two built-in china hutches are reminiscent of a historical piece that perfectly mirror the entrance of the tech-nook. Wood-turned feet and cremone bolt hardware add a beautifully understated elegance to the family room as it transitions into the kitchen.

Historic white oak flooring flows into a dramatic kitchen setting just off the formal living room. The designer accented beautiful Calcutta capri marble with restoration hardware bistro shelving to give a dramatic contrast of texture and movement. “I wanted to make sure the space was grounded against the movement of the beautiful backsplash and pushed my client out of her comfort zone to use Nocturnal Honed granite for the island,” says Rochelle. To infuse the shelving décor with glamour, the designer brought in pops of rich metals and clean white dishes adding vibrant fruits and paintings.

Intimate spaces provide the perfect backdrop for bold moody accents. The piano room and the office tech nook are mirroring rooms in the formal family and are painted Farrow & Ball Down Pipe, while the mudroom is Farrow & Ball Inchyra Blue. Rochelle notes, “We used gold as an accent against the rich color palate to really accent the depth of the wall colors, and create movement within the rooms.”

The master bedroom boasts beautiful, delicate layers of finish moulding details. “I wanted to emphasize the 12’ tall ceilings by creating panels that equally and beautifully divide the space, while not overtaking the room with various different shapes,” says Chad. The designer painted the ceiling Ocean Storm, a beautiful rich ceiling color to add to the moody feel of the elegant room, while framing it against the historic Menlo Park Hudson Valley chandelier.

Bedrosian Blomma tile in bianco adds beautiful dimension and texture to the primary bath setting. A freestanding tub flanks two waterfall edge vanities. With a nod to the historic style, and to bring continuity to the space, a smaller version of the Menlo Park Hudson Valley chandelier and sconces are featured in this eloquent bath.

“Being a part of creating beautifully design-built homes is part of what brings Chad and I so much joy," says Rochelle. "Having wonderful clients who trust in the joy," is part of what makes each Cambridge Home Company project uniquely special.” The result is not simply another home, it is the efforts of many to create a truly thoughtfully designed, beautiful dream home that speaks to the family for which it was inspired.

TIME TO

DECLUTTER

By Jennifer Snyder @Neatasapin Photo: The Container Store

There is one truth in organizing: you cannot organize clutter. Clutter is more than just the stuff sitting on your kitchen counter. It is the stuff in your closets and cabinets preventing you from putting away the stuff on your kitchen counter. It is anything we do not use or love.

Every single one of us has clutter – even professional organizers. Fortunately, I have devised a simple formula to address your clutter and dedicate your space to the life you are living today. With this system, it is not a one-and-done scenario. Decluttering is a way of life, starting as a project, becoming a habit, then part of your routine.

Identify what to declutter. Start by decluttering like items, such as candles or socks.

Pull everything out where you can see it all at once. You have to see it to know you have it.

Remove what you no longer love or use. You should love or love to use everything in your home.

Clean the space. Wipe down drawers or shelves while everything is out.

Return items to the storage space starting with your favorites. When you run out of space, everything else is clutter.

Donate what is left. Find a great charity you can feel good about supporting.

Once you eliminate the clutter, something amazing happens; organizing becomes easier and sometimes even automatic. If you want to be more organized, always start with removing the clutter and Neat as a Pin® can help.

PANTRY ORGANIZATION

By Brooke Larsen @brooke_startathome Cabinetry by Foxwood

Even the most organized people struggle to find ways of keeping their kitchen pantry orderly. When you’re constantly adding and removing items, disorder naturally occurs. Before you know it, your bins, cereal and cans are clumped together and you missed the fact that you’re out of the ingredients for the dinner you’ve been dreaming about all day.

The trick to eliminating this unnecessary chaos is to develop an efficient organizational system for your pantry. When my husband and I designed our pantry, it was not very wide so we did not want to cram in too many appliances. We put in our microwave, as well as the water bottle filler and an ice machine – my husband’s “must have”. We have now been in our home 6 weeks and our pebble ice machine and water bottle filler are easily our most used appliances.

My goal for my house was to have a place for everything, even in the pantry. Having functional space as well as attractive space is always ideal.

Organization

The gallon glass jars are great for holding sugar, flour, beans, rice and even my husband’s protein powder. I also love having a countertop in here. This countertop is liberty bronze quartz from Daltile.

I got wire baskets for my produce that doesn’t need to be refrigerated, and these awesome racks make storing and rotating my canned goods so much easier.

For items that weren’t as pretty, I got these seagrass baskets. Some items in the baskets include: top ramen, cake mixes and other baking supplies, chips, packaged oatmeal, etc.

The clear plastic containers have the button on top that you push to seal. I absolutely love these. I put crackers, pretzels, noodles, hot chocolate, oatmeal, croutons and a few other baking items in them.

My can racks have been a lifesaver. Not only do they help to organize my cans, but it helps rotate the food as well. (view here)

THE ART OF APARTMENT LIVING

Growing up in this apartment, I had a long time to think about exactly how I wanted it to look, but it still took a lot of trial and error to find my design style. I first went through a say-yes-to-any-offerfor-free-furniture phase, followed by a bold color phase, a boho phase, a neutral phase, but nothing felt right in the space. My apartment is pre-war, meaning it’s of a particular style built before World War II, in the 1920’s. Full of intricate wall mouldings, parquet wood floors, detailed wood trim and artdeco fireplaces, it certainly does not lack charm. I knew that my design choices had to pay homage to the character of the apartment and time period in which it was built. I have always admired the late 19th-early 20th century European-influenced architecture of my neighborhood; it was through my daily walks that inspiration struck. I saw how intricate the details on the buildings were, and I realized I needed to highlight and compliment the original features of my apartment.

I turned to Pinterest, and became obsessed with the grand, bright Parisian apartments with their high ceilings, delicate trim work and statement chandeliers. I began my own Instagram, @hattiekolp, where I shared my DIY home renovations, projects, and design endeavors. Connecting with others on Instagram also became a huge source of inspiration for me. I began to purge a lot of furniture, decided on a color palette, and invested in things like art, light fixtures, and vintage rugs. I like to have a juxtaposition of white, glossy painted rooms and deeper, darker colors in other rooms. Growing up, my mom was an art-historian and raised me in museums and art galleries, so I have a true appreciation for art and antiques. I like to fill my walls and shelves with family heirlooms and treasures I’ve found while thrifting. To keep it from being too grandma-chic, I like to balance the antiques with modern touches like my tall, white book shelves, green velvet couch, and spindly ceiling light fixtures.

My goal during renovations was not to change or modernize, but instead restore the apartment to its original glory. One of the most impactful home projects I’ve done to date was tearing down the walls that had been built over all the pocket doors. I suppose a previous tenant wanted to create a distinct division between rooms, or more wall space, but to me the pocket doors are the gem of the apartment. I love having them all open, for an airy, open-concept feel, or closing them on rainy days to create cozy, enclosed spaces. The biggest compliment I’ve gotten is when people tell me standing in my home is like stepping into another time period; if only walls could talk . . .

Get this home's classic feel and a modern twist with some of these close finds.

OPENING FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE SOON. MEDICINE AS IT SHOULD BE.

Simply stated, Functional Medicine looks at the root cause of illness. Instead of throwing medications on various symptoms (which often creates new symptoms), Functional Medicine asks the question “why?” is the symptom there in the first place? Our goal is to assist the body in the healing process and removing factors that are hindering the body from achieving optimal wellness.

Sarah Campbell will be the primary Physician Assistant at our new location. She is trained in Functional Medicine and specializes in treating adults who are searching for answers as to why they always feel tired, have chronic gut problems or feel older than their actual age.

Easter Tablescape

By Cherie @sweetroseandwren

2020 brought a lot of unnecessary “clutter” into my brain, and had me craving simple, clean, and peaceful surroundings in the new year, while still feeding my creativity. White dishes are a staple in my home and are always what I start with in all of my tablescapes. These dishes were collected from Anthropology years ago. The wooden chargers were a simple diy: unfinished wood chargers found at Michael’s, stained in my favorite “weathered” stain by old barn living, and lightly dry brushed in white.

The copper utensils were a great find from Walmart! The cups are from Amazon. In the center, a brown paper table runner doubles as place setting name tags. I wrote the names over each plate using a gold paint pen. A simple centerpiece of a white and green floral arrangement on top of a cake plate for height, and my favorite “handsome rabbit” who has been with us many years complete the spring tablescape.
