BEHIND THE SCENES

FROM THE EDITOR

Ever wonder what it takes to create the photos featured in Mountain Living? While we’re lucky to work with some pretty photogenic subjects, getting the right shot still requires much more than simply pointing and shooting. It can take more than an hour to nail the perfect portrait, and a day

or two to photograph one of our featured homes. Here’s a behind-the-scenes peek at the making of just one of the shots that made it into this issue’s Shops story featuring one of my favorite highcountry gems: DRAM Apothecary in Silver Plume, Colorado. (You’ll find the full story on page 36.)

Before taking each shot, we view our subject from every corner of the room to find the perfect angle. This portrait of shop owner and herbal alchemist Shae Whitney posed a dilemma: Do we show the room’s charming lace-curtained window or simplify the composition and focus in on our subject?

Try this in your next selfie: Rather than smiling at the camera, try looking in different directions, as photographer Kimberly Gavin is directing our subject to do here. Often, the best angle is the most natural one.

You wouldn’t believe it if we told you how many times we rearranged the bottles on the back bar to create just the right mix of heights, shapes and colors. And those bar stools? It took at least 20 tiny adjustments to position them perfectly.

{

}

THE FINAL SHOT

Sometimes the camera captures what art director Loneta Showell calls “unintended tangencies.” In this case, it was a beautiful antique lamp on the shelf behind the bar that, when viewed through the lens, appeared to be growing out of Shae’s head! Needless to say, the lamp had to go.

It’s rare to get the perfect shot on the first try. Shae poured bitters from shaker to glass no fewer than five times before we got it just right.

Best place to own a second home in Tahoe. Barron’s

Best place to own a home. Anywhere. Period. Susan, San Francisco

Congratulations, your priorities are now perfectly in sync. How is it that a “second home” can be the home that owns your heart? When it’s at Martis Camp, it happens effortlessly. Sure, we can boast a Tom Fazio golf course, a direct ski lift to Northstar California™ and a Camp Lodge that contains an abundance of amazing. But home here is defined more by what you create than what you are given. And when those creations translate into memories, your Martis Camp home is, indeed, where your heart is.

Rediscovering Reno NEVERMIND THOSE CASINOS. “THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY IN THE WORLD” IS HOME TO ONE OF THE WEST’S MOST VIBRANT ARTS SCENES, TOO. STORY BY CHRISTINE DEORIO

YOU DON’T HAVE TO SCRATCH FAR BENEATH THE SURFACE TO FIND there’s a lot more than just gambling going on in this desert town at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Turns out, Reno has become a minimecca for creative types. A few key factors, from its affordability to its proximity to the Silicon Valley and Lake Tahoe’s beaches and ski slopes, have made Reno an entrepreneurial hotspot, home base for top tech compa-

nies, destination for kayakers and mountain bikers—and home to a thriving arts and culture scene rivaling that of much larger cities. How did fine art find its way to Reno? With the help of a few pioneers who recognized the creative talent that’s always been in the region—and knew just how to showcase it. Here’s what we can thank them for:

ML | August 2014

STREMMEL GALLERY

STREMMEL GALLERY One of the finest contemporary art galleries in the West—founded in 1969 by husband and wife, Turkey and Peter Stremmel—can be found right in Reno’s Midtown district. It’s worth a stop just to marvel at the building’s award-winning architecture, but what’s inside the 6,500-square-foot space is equally impressive: paintings, drawings and sculptures by a broad range of mid-career and established artists from America and Europe. This fall, check out shows featuring Roger Berry’s graceful yet industrial metal sculptures, and remarkably realistic watercolor cityscapes by John Salminen. 1400 S.

STAY The Peppermill Resort Spa Casino is Reno’s poshest place to stay, with luxe guest rooms, a three-story, 33,000-square-foot spa, and a “Caldarium” complete with indoor pool, sun deck and “secret garden.” peppermillreno.com

Truckee Riverfront

Artown Reno owes its reputation as a vibrant arts community in large part to Artown, a month-long festival held each July that showcases artists and performers from around the region and around the world. With more than 500 events to choose from (most of them free) in nearly 100 locations around town, there’s something to do every day, from art exhibitions and workshops to theatrical and musical performances to movies and dancing in the park. Not visiting in July? Get a taste of the festivities by strolling the Truckee River Arts District, where you can enjoy galleries, public art installations and events ranging from wine walks to street fairs any time of year. renoisartown.com nevada museum of art Inspired by the geologic formations of the nearby Black Rock Desert, this dramatic structure (by Phoenix-based Will Bruder Architects) encloses 15,337 square feet of gallery space—plus a rooftop sculpture garden—showcasing contemporary works, landscape photography, Western art and more, with special exhibitions highlighting an exciting array of artists and media. While you’re there, stop for a bite at Chez Louie, where menu items are often inspired by current exhibitions. 160 W. Liberty St., nevadaart.org

When in Reno

Pioneer Center for the performing arts

pioneer center for the performing arts Known for its gold geodesic dome roof that nearly touches the ground, this 1,500-seat venue—completed in 1967—is on the Nevada State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. Home to the Reno Philharmonic Orchestra and the A.V.A. Ballet Theatre, the “Golden Turtle” hosts more than 100 live performances each year, including the popular “Broadway Comes to Reno” series—this fall, catch Blue Man Group, “Flashdance” and “Jersey Boys.” 100 S. Virginia St., pioneercenter.com

grimes point rock art Some of the area’s most fascinating art can be found not in galleries or museums, but outside, at one of the country’s most accessible petroglyph sites. At Grimes Point (about 75 miles from Reno) you’ll find hundreds of chocolate-brown boulders inscribed with circles, lines, and human and animal figures— all estimated to be about 6,000 years old. Visit on your own and view the petroglyphs from a short, self-guided interpretive trail, or join a free educational tour led by the Nevada Rock Art Foundation this August 16 or October 18. nvrockart.org

lake tahoe shakespeare festival The drama of Lake Tahoe’s spectacular scenery meets the drama of live theater at this annual festival at Sand Harbor State Park, not far from Incline Village. Each summer, more than 20,000 patrons gather at the outdoor amphitheater to enjoy professional productions of Shakespeare’s works as he intended them to be seen—outdoors, under the stars. This year, gorgeous sets and costumes will transform the lakeshore into the Forest of Arden six nights a week from July 11 to August 24, in a production of Shakespeare’s comedy “As You Like It.” laketahoeshakespeare.com

A Wee Dram mixing up vintage design— and libations— in silver plume, colorado

Up in the mountains, in a tiny little town, there’s an even smaller shop and its name is DRAM. Don’t let the “BREAD” sign fool you; this 1890s-era building once housed a miner’s supply store and a bakery, but now it’s home to a booming business in bitters. DRAM Apothecary is the creation of Shae Whitney and Brady Becker, who handpick wild Colorado botanical ingredients for their bitters, teas and syrups from the nearby meadows and forests.

Story by Laura Beausire photography by Kimberly Gavin

ML | August 2014

TASTING ROOM Whitney and Becker hauled more than 15 truckloads of garbage out of the neglected building, then they stained the wood and painted the walls a creamy white reminiscent of the nineteenth century. “Bitters are old-fashioned medicine that came into popularity in the 1800s, and I imagine our tasting room to be exactly like a place you would have been able to buy them during their heyday,” Whitney explains. “We really just stripped the space down to the elements that are meant to be appreciated on their own, without all the clutter and junk that had built up over years.” AUTHENTIC DETAILS

“Over the years the building has retained many of its original antiques and hardware, as it has always been the deal that everything stays with the building,” Whitney notes. Among the treasures the pair inherited (and repurposed) are an antique Hobart coffee and grain grinder, bulk grain drawers and vintage scales that were made in Denver in the 1900s. >>

Shops

historic magic “We found Silver Plume to be magical and charming and we love how it’s so close to Denver, yet feels so secluded,” Whitney says. “Brady and I are adventurers. We love to travel around to obscure mountain towns and forgotten ruins, and we always wished there was a place where we could get a great drink in a spooky/historic atmosphere, so we created it.” The sundrenched outdoor seating area features homemade picnic tables surrounded by vintage chairs rescued from a Denver alley and restored. The hand-cut “BREAD” letters are original. To uphold the bakery tradition, the Long I Pie Shop provides DRAM with an enticing array of pies.

beyond the bar Educated in food science, botany and ecological agriculture, Whitney, a Colorado native, also worked as a bartender for many years. Noticing the synthetic ingredients on a bottle of bitters, she declared, “I bet I could make better cocktail bitters, and I’m going to do it using wild Colorado plants and pay homage to my home.” Whitney and Becker found the building in Silver Plume the same week that she finally found the courage to quit her job.

ML | August 2014

A LABOR OF LOVE

Whitney and Becker did all of the renovation work themselves, infusing their personalities into the shop. “We just wanted the building to look like it would have in the beginning—with a touch of whimsy offered by our collection of vintage taxidermy, antique knick-knacks, plants and gems and crystals.” The result is a delightful time-warp experience that pleases the two elixir entrepreneurs. “We want people to feel like they’ve gone somewhere that time forgot, where they can have a cocktail or piece of pie in an environment that’s relaxing, exciting and inspiring at the same time.”

Rustic Ranch Elegance When Suzanne Allen Sabo and Courtney Saldivar, owners of Allen-Guerra Architecture, started the architectural process on this Colorado home, they found themselves facing multiple challenges. One of their clients wanted a Colorado log cabin, while the other client wanted an elegant traditional design. After many months of design and modification, the resulting home is stunning. The two aesthetics truly come together beautifully in this state of the art log post and beam hybrid home. Allen-Guerra Architecture is a boutique architectural firm based in Breckenridge, Colorado and Houston, Texas.

Welcome

to the 30th year of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival, widely recognized as one of the premier cultural events in the Rocky Mountain West. Every year the Fall Arts Festival continues to grow and draw thousands of art enthusiasts to experience the diverse artwork and breathtaking natural surroundings that make Jackson Hole a leading cultural center. For the 30th anniversary, the Fall Arts Festival has added a second Featured Fall Artist in the medium of sculpture to highlight the magnificent bronzes that Jackson has to offer.

The 2014 Festival will take place September 3-14, with world-class installments of visual, contemporary, culinary, western and Native American arts. Visitors will once again experience the works of nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, in addition to an exceptional array of music, cowboy poetry and cuisine. More than fifty events… gallery walks, workshops, artist receptions and more round out our 11-day Festival. A few of this year’s most anticipated events include the “Taste of the Tetons” during which participants experience food, wine and dessert in the heart of historic downtown Jackson; the 19th annual QuickDraw Art Sale and Auction where over 30 artists are showcased while creating original works as spectators watch; and the annual Western Design Conference! Jackson Hole is the proud host of this fabulous event known as the world’s preeminent exhibition of western furniture, fashion and accessories. Home to abundant wildlife, historic Old West appeal and award winning eateries, Jackson and the Fall Arts Festival cater to more than just the art lover. The valley is an avid outdoorsman’s paradise, with numerous activities such as horseback riding, river rafting, rock climbing and biking. More leisurely attractions include golfing, fly fishing and thousands of miles of hiking trails. After a day of adventure, visitors can unwind with a massage or body treatment in one of Jackson’s highly acclaimed luxury spas. The 2014 Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival with its record number of artists, galleries and restaurants participating, as well as an event schedule catering to all interests, is shaping up to be the best yet! We invite you to come to Jackson and experience it for yourself!

2014 FALL ARTS FESTIVAL

Nancy Dunlop p Cawdrey

Forever Fore ver JAckSoN

“Jackson Hole has been good to me…and for me! Each September when I do the Falls Arts Festival Quick Draw in the town square, I hope to invite folks along in the creative process of showing up and being as big as I can be. Pushing the edges of medium, form, technique and subject matter, I broadcast an invitation to expansiveness – which is why I love the West. The sky is the limit…and it is limitless. When I found silk painting some 25 years ago, I was struck with the strength of color, the fluidity of the medium, the expressiveness of the brush strokes. For 2014, the C.M. Russell Museum has selected the founding members of the Russell Skull Society of Artists, a new, elite group of contemporary Western artists. Nancy Dunlop Cawdrey is one of only two women selected. Nancy shows regularly at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum, the CM Russell Museum, the National Cowboy Museum, the Gilcrease, the Phippen Museum, the “Cowgirl” Up Show, and the Western Masters Show. Cawdrey is represented by West Lives On Gallery, Jackson, WY, The Big Horn Galleries, Cody, WY and Tubac, AZ; Hayden Hays Gallery at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO and The Howell Gallery in Oklahoma City, OK

Joshua Tobey

JAckSoN SYMPHoNY Josh grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the son of renowned ceramic and bronze sculptors Gene and Rebecca Tobey. Josh began sculpting in clay and casting in bronze at the age of six. “My childhood was full of gallery shows and art foundries. Many of the people I grew up around are today’s most established western artists”. At 35 years old, Josh is well established in the Western art world, creating bronze sculptures of wildlife featuring a contemporary patina. Renowned for this patina work, Josh combines his love of art and his lifelong passion for the outdoors in his bronze sculpture. Sometimes called whimsical, Josh’s work also has a serious side; it depicts the “interdependence of wildlife and humanity” by revealing aspects of human emotion, experience and culture through wildlife sculpture. His work ranges in size from miniature to monumental. Josh’s work has been featured in several national magazines, including the cover artist for Wildlife Art. Most recently, John was invited to the Collectors’ Reserve Show at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Other honors include three major works in the Raymond James Financial art collection, and public works in the collections of Na ‘Aina Kai Botanical Gardens and Sculpture Park in Kauai, Western State University, the Medical Center of the Rockies, and the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Josh became an elected member of the National Sculpture Society in 2012 and currently serves as a board member of the Artist Charitable Fund, a nonprofit organization.

27th Annual Western visions

Wild 100

The National Museum of Wildlife Art has announced a new “Wild 100®” approach for its annual Western Visions® fundraiser, scheduled for August 30 – September 21, 2014. A month-long art celebration presented by the Jackson Hole, Wyoming-based museum, Western Visions combines lectures, artist demos and fabulous artsy parties with the chance to view and purchase the best of wildlife and Western art – and has been a cornerstone of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival for more than two decades. But the event’s very success had become a problem as the number of participating artists grew, prompting the decision to focus on a field of 100 artists – the Wild 100 – for 2014.

“What started 27 years ago as the work of 30 artists in a single miniatures show and sale to benefit the museum has evolved and grown until in 2013 we featured 150 artists and numerous related events, exhibitions and sales,” says Jim McNutt, president and CEO of the museum. “We’re thrilled that Western Visions has become established as a major national show. In order to give the kind of attention to each artist and buyer that we would like to provide, we have fixed the number of artists participating at 100 as we move forward, and rebranded our two major events as the Wild 100 Show & Sale and the Wild 100 Artist Party.” Western Visions’ new, curated, 100 artists approach allows the National Museum of Wildlife Art to showcase a combination of well-established top-selling artists and emerging talents who will be the next generation of leading wildlife artists in an exceptional arts experience for artists and collectors alike. In addition to the Wild 100 Artist Party, September 11, and the Wild 100 Show & Sale, September 12, the museum has announced its featured artists for 2014 – painter Ewoud de Groot and sculptor Gwynn Murrill – and will present opportunities to experience their work and techniques in presentations on September 11. Other Western Visions activities include the Paintings, Sculpture and Sketch shows and sales, the Jewelry & Artisan Luncheon and Show & Sale, the Palates and Palettes free tasting and viewing event, September 5, and the follow-up Art a’ Brewin’ browsing and buying opportunity, September 24.

lives and works in Egmond aan Zee, a coastal village in the north of the Netherlands. Born in 1969 in Alkmarr, he attended the Minerva Academy of Art and received a degree in illustration and painting. After illustrating nature books for a couple of years, he began painting full time. His work has been featured in many exhibitions in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. His subjects are often seabirds and waders. He spends time on his Dutch shrimp cutter exploring the Waddensea, an internationally known wetland that is actually a chain of islands, mudflats, and sandbanks, starting in the Netherlands and ending in the south of Denmark.

gW YNN MUrrILL’S work bridges figurative and abstract sculpture. Her animal figures serve as points of departure for the exploration of form, becoming vessels, which, reduced to their most basic lines and shapes, elegantly echo the essence of her subject. Her initial sculptures of the early 1970s, carved from found wood, laminated into large blocks, gave way to stone and marble pieces as Murrill’s process evolved through the early 1980s. Murrill is now best known for her timeless animal forms cast in bronze. Murrill’s work is held by numerous private collections and can be seen in number of public commissions throughout the U.S. and across the globe.

steamboat springs Lifestyles Steamboat Springs is quintessential Colorado. Stunning scenery, natural hot springs, a colorful history, world-class skiing, rafting, hiking, biking, and a vibrant community combine to create an unforgettable destination. The Ute and Arapahoe tribes first visited the area for summer hunting, and to utilize the mineral springs. French trappers gave the town its name after hearing the chugging sound of a steamboat’s engine—they discovered that the sound was a natural mineral spring. Pioneers James and Margaret Crawford settled the town in the late 1800s, and with the arrival of the railroad in 1909, the boom was on. Soon, visitors began arriving to enjoy the area’s recreational opportunities, and to establish ranches and farms. Now, Steamboat Springs celebrates its Western heritage, and thrives as a year-round destination. What to Do Summertime in Steamboat brings almost unlimited opportunities for fun. Whether your tastes run to the mild or the wild, there’s always something to do. Enjoy golf at one of the four nearby courses, soak in a natural hot spring, visit a luxurious spa or hit a local hiking or mountain biking trail. Other options might include a trip up Mt. Werner in an eight-passenger gondola, a thrilling ride down the Howler Alpine Slide on Howelsen Hill, a free outdoor, Saturday night movie at Gondola Square, or a gourmet mountainside meal. The

A M O U N TA I N L I V I N G S P E C I A L S E C T I O N

Coca-Cola Adventure Zone at the ski area base, hot air balloon tours, a PRCA Pro Rodeo series, chuck wagon dinners and helicopter rides make for an unmatched mountain experience.

Where to Eat More than 120 restaurants serve the Steamboat community, where delicious, unpretentious food is the name of the game. With everything from quick-serve coffee bars to mountainside gourmet dining, brew pubs, steakhouses, and southwestern fare, there’s no shortage of options at dinner, breakfast or anytime.

Book It With everything from quaint bed and breakfasts to luxurious condominiums, full-service, slopeside resorts, guest ranches and more, Steamboat Springs and the Yampa Valley have lodging options for every taste and budget. Groups, business travelers, reunions and weddings are all welcome in this classic Western community. Visit www.steamboat.com to research lodging, dining, recreation and more.

VINTAGE VIBE

DESIGNED WITH GUESTS IN MIND, A MONTANA BUNKHOUSE SHOWS OFF A PLAYFUL COLLECTION OF ART AND ANTIQUES

Architect Van Bryan designed the bunkhouse’s asymmetry to suggest that the home started out as a smaller structure that has been expanded over time. “I like the character of it, the implicit story,” he says.FACING PAGE: The entry shows off practical good looks: Hooks offer easy storage, and a vintage expandable bench from 14th Street Antiques in Atlanta is the perfect spot to slip shoes on or off.

105

Architecture by Van Bryan Studio Architects interior design by Carter Kay Interiors CONSTRUCTION by JDL CONSTRUCTION

Bunkhouses have come a long way since the days when cowboys crawled into rough-hewn beds after long, hard days on the trail. Proof positive: this enchanting 1,600-squarefoot bunkhouse in Ennis, Montana, a pinprick of a town in southwestern Montana’s Madison River Valley. Purchased by a pair of couples from Texas, the property originally held a dilapidated ranch house that was revived by the creative work of Bozeman-based architect Van Bryan and interior designer Carter Kay, of Atlanta. The main house is both fresh and appropriately rustic, its design deeply devoted to a marriage of Western vernacular and modern touches. The owners soon realized that they needed more sleeping space for guests, especially their grown children and grandkids, and asked Bryan and Kay to create a bunkhouse that would be a welcome—and durable—retreat near the main house. The team dreamed up a three-bedroom, three-bath space that mirrors the main house’s style. Clad with reclaimed wood and a roof of cedar shingles and rusted metal, the bunk-

106

house feels like an old structure that’s been given new life. “Everything is like a worn shoe, cozy and livable,” Bryan says. And good-looking, too. Inside, Kay and her colleague Nancy Hooff mixed antiques, vintage furnishings and accents and art for a style that’s playful and easy. “There’s a sense of spontaneity in the rooms,” Kay explains. “I think that’s one of the joys of designing with antiques and vintage pieces: They feel found, not forced, and maybe a little quirky in the best sense.” A perfect example is the living room’s pair of old rattan chairs “covered in the hairiest hide you’ve ever seen,” Kay says. The chairs stand opposite a hunky wood coffee table and a sectional sofa covered in durable denim. A pair of vintage silhouetted horse cutouts adds a lighthearted note. “We just flipped when we found these horses,” Kay says. “They’re an artful way to say, ‘We love animals and the West,’ without putting taxidermy on the walls.” >>

Interior designer Carter Kay found the living roomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two antique rattan chairs, covered in hair-onhide, at South of Market in Atlanta. The sectional, from Lee Industries, is covered in denim by Arabel Fabrics to make it especially kid-friendly, and the rug, from Keivan Oriental Rugs, is a contemporary riff on a fence-inspired pattern. The wooden horse cutouts are from Bobo Intriguing Objects.

107

How to Find the Good Stuff Designer Carter Kay shares her best advice for tracking down the perfect art and antiques. Shop locally “We always go to the little flea market in Ennis, and we find more treasures there than you can imagine,” Kay says. By scouring local boutiques and markets, you’re more likely to find pieces that are evocative of your home’s history and setting. Be patient “At the flea market, we move through a lot of piles of comic books and old toys to find that one great accessory,” Kay says. Even if you plan to visit more refined antique stores, wait until you can devote a whole morning—or better yet, an entire day—to your search. Call ahead “Sometimes, to save time, I give a call to the shop owner and tell him what I’m looking for,” Kay says. If you can’t stop dreaming about a Biedermeier chest or a pair of Louis XVI chairs, ring your favorite antique shops and ask for help tracking down your heart’s desire. Kay sometimes checks online antiques marketplaces, such as 1stdibs.com and thehighboy.com, where she can easily search for pieces by era or style. 108

“It’s steel, and it does not budge,” Kay says of the dining table from Go Home Ltd. “I was thinking of the grandkids: It’s sturdy and easy to clean.” FACING PAGE, FROM TOP: Guests gather in the main house for most meals, so the kitchen is intentionally small. Its open shelves are made from antique wood. “You just need one splash of color in such a small room,” Kay says of the colorful vintage rug. The breakfast nook’s distinctive light fixture was custommade by an Atlanta artist and purchased through South of Market.

The modern open kitchen features a Wolf range, new granite countertops and a glass mosaic backsplash. Interior designer Dana Hugo had the Hickory Chair stools upholstered with nubby Donghia fabric. FACING PAGE: Tree-patterned drapes of Pierre Frey fabric frame the windows of the dining room, where Hugo used long-nosed pliers to painstakingly hang each of the crystals on the Ochre chandelier.

109

A colorful scarab print, discovered at A. Tyner Antiques in Atlanta, is a playful addition to the second master bedroom. The vintage chest (from Provenance Antiques in Atlanta and a complement to the chest in the other master bedroom) rests atop an animal-print rug. The ladder is a convenient rack for hanging scarves or magazines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I buy ladders whenever I find them,â&#x20AC;? Kay says.

110

BELOW, LEFT: A bedroom gets an infusion of fun from the “Birds on a Wire” series by Atlanta artist Corinne Adams. The bed is from Environment Furniture, and the vintage adjustable side tables with triangular metal tops are made from machinery springs. BELOW, RIGHT: Whimsical antique chairs from BoBo Intriguing Objects hang as artwork over an antique chest from Provenance Antiques in Atlanta.

But Kay did have a little fun with what is perhaps the West’s most identifiable design element. In one of the bedrooms, white resin deer heads with colorful antlers are mounted in frames made from old barn boards. Cheeky and whimsical, the heads stand sentry over a pair of beds and a turquoise cabinet enclosed with chicken wire—“so you can see where you put your things,” Kay says. The mix of old and new continues in other spaces: A pair of curvy antique chairs are suspended over a vintage pine chest in one bedroom. In another, guests find “Birds on a Wire,” a colorful series of mixed-media art pieces, which Kay chose for their bright hues and nod to nature. Across the room, an old canvas print of a scarab hangs above another antique pine dresser. Even

the small kitchen gets a flash of whimsy from a trio of rusted metal fish, found at the Ennis flea market and hung from an old hand-tied fly near the open shelves. A vivid rug with a fish motif, another retro find, adds a theme-appropriate pop of color to the floor. Though the home showcases antiques and art in every nook and cranny, it’s hardly a museum. “People think that antiques are very serious. They can be, but the bunkhouse shows that bringing in old pieces and unique art actually can make a home more fun,” Kay observes. “This particular mix of things says to guests, ‘Come on in, kick off your shoes and relax,’”—just as a welcoming Western bunkhouse should.

111

IF YOU’RE “OPEN TO USING THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WAY, A FLEA MARKET CAN BE AN ABSOLUTE GOLD MINE.

”

Carter Kay

RIGHT: This bedroom plays with Western tropes, courtesy of white resin deer heads from online shop White Faux Taxidermy. Kay had the frames made from reclaimed barn wood to give the “art” a greater presence.

THE ART OF LIVING

ARCHITECTURE, ART AND NATURE SUBTLY COMPLEMENT ONE ANOTHER IN A SCULPTURAL COLORADO HOME

In the dining room, neutral-toned furniture and finishes provide a quiet backdrop for the visual dialogue between two bold artworks: “We the People,” an acrylic-on-canvas flag by Andrew Baird, and Jeanne Bessette’s “Not Just a Number,” an acrylic-and-mixed-media figurative painting. The blue-stained walnut dining table can seat up to 14.

115

The exteriorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walls of horizontal sandstone blocks extend into the house, past the custom offset-pivot entry door made of glass, wood and steel. FACING PAGE: Beneath a gabled roofline that was required by the community, the main entrance takes a sculptural twist with the support of subtly uplit Douglas fir columns. Each one is pitched at a slightly different angle from the next, visually balancing the asymmetry of the roof.

116

Its select collection of paintings and sculpture is superb, its architecture stunning. Yet even the briefest conversation with the owners of this home on a mountainside site in Colorado confirms that, to them, nature is the biggest attraction. “The real art in this house is the outdoors, the natural beauty surrounding us,” says the wife, who with her husband bought the site above the town of Avon for its sweeping west-facing vistas. “We overlook the valley and have 180-degree views,” she continues. “We can see the storms rolling in. And the sunsets are unbelievable.”

Architecture by RKD Architects

The couple, who collect artworks that make a strong impression on them, knew right away that a home in such a location needed to be a work of art in its own right. That desire led them to RKD Architects, a Vail Valley firm with a reputation for putting innovative contemporary spins on the Rocky Mountain vernacular. Working with RKD’s president, Jack Snow, and his business partner and wife, Sally Brainerd, they arrived at a design that, says Snow, “feels like living inside a sculpture that is modern, transparent and open to the views.” >>

Artistic Enlightenment

With its large-format artworks and bold yet subtly detailed architecture, the home presented particular lighting challenges. Lighting designer Greg Mackell of 186 Lighting Design Group in Denver worked with the architects and homeowners to create special solutions, including: KEEPING IT HIDDEN Narrow rows of LED lighting—“almost a tape light,” says architect Jack Snow—are hidden along the ceiling beams. The result highlights the sculptural structure of the rooms. LIGHTING UP Fixtures set at regular intervals along the base of the home’s exterior walls—as well as some inside, like the curved red-painted feature wall facing the dining room— send a soft wash of light upward. SPOTLIGHTING THE ART Hidden high-intensity MR16 LED bulbs are positioned in the ceiling to spotlight each work of art. CENTRALIZING CONTROL A sophisticated Lutron system allows the homeowners to control all of the fixtures from a computerized panel, which includes an “Art” command that instantly adjusts the lighting to the optimum configuration and levels for showcasing their art.

118

ABOVE: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smile, Sonrisa,â&#x20AC;? an oil-on-canvas portrait by Daniel Ochoa, dominates the great room, its medley of earth tones and bold, expressionistic brushstrokes in harmony with the materials and forms of the surrounding architecture. Dove-gray Minotti sofas and red Maxalto Kalos chairs provide welcoming comfort while also appearing to be minimalist works of sculpture in their own right. FACING PAGE: A wall of window-doors opens to the covered portion of the patio, furnished with casual weatherproof furniture and sheltered on three sides from the high-altitude climate. 119

To accommodate the steeply sloping site while capturing the panoramic vistas, the RKD team came up with a floor plan that staggers the arrangement of the main living spaces. The structure is organized around three gabled formsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;one in the great room and kitchen, one in a secondary living area and one in the master suiteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;each of which features a sloping window wall that appears to soar into space. Ceilings as high as 20 feet at the ridgeline add to the sense of expansiveness while meeting the subdivisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement that all houses have gabled roofs.

120

Using indigenous materials including dry-stacked sandstone and wire-brushed Douglas fir, the architects expressed their trademark creativity in details that range from a colonnade that appears to cascade along one side of the entrance, to blackened-steel panels, floated 3/4 inch off the wall, that compose the fireplace surrounds and a pass-through between the kitchen and dining room. Snow and Brainerd refined such touches down to the smallest detail, taking particular pride, for example, in the way that specially designed >>

MATERIALS “WETHEUSED COULD BE DIFFERENT, EVEN WEIRD. BUT THEY ALSO HAD TO FEEL WARM AND APPROACHABLE.

”

Jack Snow

ABOVE: Seen from outside at night, the master suite glows like a vitrine for displaying precious objects. LEFT: Opposite the foot of the bed, the same limestone used for the exterior walls creates the fireplace surround. FAR LEFT: In the master bedroom, the expansive vista is the featured work of art, on view through window walls including a gable-topped bay section that tilts outward, as if ready to soar into the sky. Behind the bed, fauxpainted drywall resembles weathered wood that’s been dipped in molten steel. “It eventually may have a piece of art,” the homeowner says of the room. “Or it may not.”

121

The powder room offers a playful nod to high style with its sleek black-glass pedestal sink, floor-to-ceiling mirror and patterned wallcovering. FACING PAGE: Unlike the rest of the house, which has concrete floors, the library features a floor of rift-cut oak stained a soft blue-gray. One of the first pieces of art the owners ever purchased, a feather collage by David McCarthy, found a new home next to a door facing an aspen grove.

122

steel connecting pins make columns appear to float free of the concrete floor below and the eaves above. “We jokingly called this ‘the no-touchy house,’” Snow says. Simultaneously understated and bold, the architects’ design provides an ideal setting for the homeowners’ collection of art. “They wanted to highlight a few pieces very well rather than show an extensive collection,” Snow says of the oversized works, each of which occupies its own stretch of stone or drywall. Yet, nothing in particular about the architecture was designed with a specific piece of artwork in mind. “We wanted to wait until the house was

done, and see how it felt, to decide what art we wanted to put where,” the homeowner explains. The goal was for each piece to be able to make its own statement. “I’ve never grouped anything on a wall except for family pictures,” the owner says. “The art we buy has to stand out and be a real finishing touch. It’s easy to pick up a couch or table or pillows. But you could put the same couch in 10 different rooms.” On the other hand, a painting or sculpture that has found its own ideal place can make a room come alive. “An artwork is what brings in your personality,” the homeowner adds. “It makes the house yours.” o

timeless in telluride City sophistication meets mountain town casual in an antique-filled, anything-but-fussy home

Although it was built in the 1990s, this Telluride home has the simple charm of older times.

Renovation Construction by Evans Construction

126

On a street lined with Victorian homes at the base of a Telluride mountain, there’s a tall white house that looks as if it’s been there for ages. But it hasn’t. While it may resemble one of the town’s vintage residential gems, this home is relatively new but deeply respectful of the past, with a charm that’s just about timeless. Designed in the mid-1990s by Telluride’s Bercovitz Design Architects, the home offers spectacular views, but the interiors were ready for a remodel when the new owners arrived. They called upon interior designer Catherine Frank, of Studio Frank, to add a touch of the laid-back local character to their mountain retreat. “Being based in a large urban city, they have long appreciated Telluride’s casual attitudes and natural beauty,” Frank explains. “They wanted to infuse their home with these essential characteristics of the town.” With stunning box canyon vistas beckoning through every window, it was obvious that the home’s décor needed to collaborate with what nature had already provided. And, because the owners wanted a cozy place to share with friends and family, comfort and livability were priorities. Given the existing structure’s relatively formal architecture, Frank wanted to introduce contrasting elements for balance. “The existing painted wood trimwork and millwork is more reminiscent of traditional East Coast style,” she remarks, “so we worked to create contrast by utilizing soft, inviting furnishings and rich, textural textiles.” Plainly elegant herringbone-patterned Belgian linen >>

The kitchen was left in its existing condition during the renovation, but the dining space gained a pair of 1930s-era rose-colored glass pendant lights. The new table, distressed to look old, is flanked by two antique ladder-back chairs and a quartet of comfy slipcovered slipper chairs. 127

Bringing Bright Ideas to Light

Interior designer Catherine Frank shares some of the secrets behind this home’s unique lighting solutions: A MIXTURE OF FIXTURES For this project, Frank sourced a combination of retro and reproduction beauties that complement the home’s more traditional detailing with an industrial aesthetic that references Telluride’s storied past.

VINTAGE VOLTAGE “Vintage light fixtures have such character and are often masterfully constructed. Nowadays there’s so much emphasis on hiding the working components of a fixture, but that’s what interests me most. And, those metal rods and cogs allow for adjustability, too.”

GLASS ACTS “Hand-blown glass shades have natural imperfections that add visual texture and disperse light in unique ways. When the bulb is exposed, bulb selection is of paramount importance. I like Edison bulbs because the exposed filament is so delicate and sculptural.”

ARTFUL IMPACT “I see light fixtures as a supplement to artwork. When illuminated, they almost become living sculptures, whether mounted from the ceiling or a wall. Floor and table lamps also have this impact, with more atmospheric light.”

FAUX ANTIQUES When they couldn’t find the perfect fixture, Studio Frank created their own that look like Victorian originals. For the powder room, the design team paired a vintage fabric cord with a shapely tungsten-filament bulb for a simple hanging pendant that glows. 129

drapes hug the ceiling in the living room and den, while the master bedroom has delicately hand-embroidered linen drapes from Larsen that lend an air of Victorian nostalgia. Throughout the house, antique rugs in rich yet gentle hues warm the floors. Frank’s meticulous approach to design moves toward sophisticated luxury despite its apparent simplicity. And she doesn’t shy away from using earthy materials to play against fine finishes and sleek surfaces— Frank gravitates toward the raw and the rustic, the natural and the ruggedly textured, often with a nod to Telluride’s early mining history. In this home, every detail is carefully chosen and thoughtfully calibrated for comfort and warmth, from the leather-wrapped and hand-stitched stair railings to the extra cushioning added to plump the window seats and make them even more inviting.

on the home’s entry level, Frank chose a poured concrete in a patinated charcoal color reminiscent of authentic, weathered warehouse floors. The designer painted the walls and millwork in soft neutral shades to create an understated and nearly monochromatic backdrop for the owners’ impeccable collection of furnishings and artwork. “Our clients have excellent taste,” Frank explains, “and they’ve procured an impressive art collection over the years. With their input, we placed pieces throughout the house.” Many of the home’s finest antiques, such as the graceful leather club chairs, are mid-20th-century French pieces

from Paris, and a carefully chosen mix of antique furnishings from near and far graces every room. Walls in several rooms are hung with a series of compelling contemporary photographs featuring old barns and country landscapes, striking a rural note in keeping with the local vibe. When you’ve landed in a small town at the end of a deep canyon, surrounded by enormous mountains and 45 miles away from the nearest stoplight, time slows down and simplicity seems to come naturally. And with a collection of gorgeous antiques, vintage finds and fascinating artwork like this, relaxed comfort gains a refinement that ends up feeling totally Telluride. o

An Artful Escape

A highly personal collection of art, antiques and photos finds a tailor-made home in the Rocky Mountain West

Story by Norman Kolpas

Photography by AUdrey Hall 135

In the study, a side table fashioned from railroad ties features a large watercolor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pay Day,â&#x20AC;? by Nelson Boren. Alongside it are displayed a traditional Sioux Indian pipe, made in the present day, and an antique-style contemporary lamp with a copper shade. 136

“Our client wanted a sanctuary, his own beautiful little personal space,” says architect Paul Bertelli, design principal of Bozemanbased JLF & Associates, of the one-bedroom house his firm designed for a ranch property outside of Livingston, Montana. With so many guests sometimes staying at his nearby main ranch house, the owner felt the need for a private place where he could slip away to enjoy peace and quiet—and a selection of mostly Western-inspired works from his extensive holdings of art, photography and antiques. Though the aesthetically attuned client wanted the house to showcase his collections, he also hoped it would be an authentic and beautiful creation in its own right. Early on in their conversations, Bertelli showed him another house his firm had designed in the region, a structure inspired by

the local materials and humble building methods used by 19th-century immigrants to the Rocky Mountain West. “He really loved that little stone building,” Bertelli recalls. The architect also took note of his client’s admiration for early industrial-style, steel-framed windows and the spare yet finely detailed woodwork of the late 19th- and early 20th-century Arts and Crafts movement. The resulting structure bears all those stylistic signatures in a compact 2,000 square feet of living space arranged on two levels. Bertelli and his team, led by the project’s principal-in-charge, Logan Leachman, designed the house with walls of Montana moss rock, exposed ceiling timbers that were repurposed from regional corrals >>

The driveway passes beneath the great room; its window wall frames west-facing valley and mountain views. Alongside the drive, large quarry stones shore up an embankment on which sculptures are displayed. Plantings of fir trees create a lush backdrop.

When the homeowner first discovered the red, life-sized Indian bowman and blue cowboy during a visit to the international art fair Art Basel in Miami Beach, he knew they would look perfect on this hillside near the main ranch house. Made by Yoram Wolberger from reinforced fiberglass composite and pigmented resin, they recall the vintage toy prizes found in Cracker Jack boxes.

Art on Display

Architect Paul Bertelli shares his expert tips for creating an ideal environment for displaying art. Discuss before designing When working with architects, show them key pieces you own and want to display. “Often,” says Bertelli, “our early discussions about a wonderful antique piece or work of art” will help give direction to the home’s design. Keep it simple “Don’t overdo the architecture,” Bertelli cautions. “Remember that it’s going to be the canvas for everything else.” He recommends using “simple forms and materials with great and timeless character.” Let there be light Though architects and designers can plan electric lighting schemes to highlight art displays, it’s important to remember the power of natural light. “Light is critical to viewing art, so find ways to bring daylight into the building whenever you can,” Bertelli suggests. Keep the sun’s rays at bay All the windows in this house feature specially manufactured two-layer glass that filters out 98 percent of ultraviolet rays, which can harm artwork.

A landing at the bottom of the stairs provides an ideal reading nook, with a leather-upholstered wingback armchair, a stand lamp fashioned from antlers, and built-in bookshelves for leather-bound volumes interspersed with small pieces of art. Uniformly framed black-andwhite photographic prints are hung in an orderly arrangement on the stairway walls. 140

and log buildings, siding of weathered boards that once served as highway snow fences, and reclaimed floorboards on which the original circular saw marks are still visible. Although Bertelli was not asked to make any special efforts to design the house around any particular artwork or antique, he did approach the project with an expert awareness of what it takes to showcase art (see sidebar). “As our client slowly brought in more and more pieces, each of them found its own space,” Bertelli recalls. “In his head, he knew all along that his vision for his art and antiques would work with what we were doing.” Bertelli and his team did add subtle touches that help the house welcome its owner’s collections with ease. Steel picture ledges set at multiple levels along the wall of a gallery-style hall allow the client to easily display— and rearrange—his extensive array of vintage and contemporary fine-art photography. And the combination of natural stone and sheetrock interior walls provides the perfect neutral background for larger framed pieces. >>

The owner’s aesthetic sensibilities extend beyond high-end, gallery-quality artwork. His master bedroom and bath, for instance, feature a delightful assortment of vintage team photographs he purchased online. Bertelli believes it’s this deeply personal collection, combined with a thoughtful mix of design details big and small, that allows the home to successfully capture the essence of his client. “It’s all about showcasing his flair for interior details and finishes in a very comfortable, light-filled and airy space,” the architect says. “It’s a perfect small house for a Western lifestyle.”

Myth. Orchids have a reputation for being difficult to grow, however, there are many varieties that make excellent house plants. Orchid care is not difficult, it is just different. Another myth is that working with an interior designer is difficult and complicated. In fact, when you hire an ASID interior designer, you get an experienced practitioner who can solve problems, even save you money by helping you avoid costly mistakes, referring reliable contractors, and selecting products and materials that meet your budget and design requirements.

SCULPTURE IN THE WILD

SCHNEEWITTCHEN Pard Morrison

BEST KNOWN FOR: Installations of colorful, block-like metal abstract sculptures, resting on land or dipped in water. INSPIRATION: “Being born and raised in Colorado, I have a strong connection to the West, and I feel that it has significantly shaped my aesthetic,” Morrison explains. He is especially sensitive to rural areas. “The West to me is about space, and a minimalist loves nothing more than the activation of space by the specific placement of form.”

fired pigment on aluminum Installed at the Denver Botanic Gardens, 2013 Rule Gallery 3254 Walnut Street Denver, CO

PROCESS: Morrison fabricates each piece himself. “I begin by welding the forms together out of aluminum. Then I use giant industrial ovens to heat-cure hand-brushed 303-800-6776 pigment onto the surface, in a process similar rulegallery.com to glazing ceramics. Finally, a UV protective clear coat is fired over the pigment. All of my work can be placed indoors or outdoors.”

A SENSE OF PLACE AND PRESENCE: “With the outdoor installations, I am interested in the conversation that begins by the juxtaposition of my geometric forms in a natural setting.

152

ML | August 2014

For me, the most successful installations are ones in which the sculptures are placed where there are no other, or very few, human traces.”

WHAT’S NEW: Morrison is putting the finishing touches on a permanent site-specific installation that will grace the campus of his alma mater, Colorado State University, in Fort Collins.
