FROM THE EDITOR
HOW MUCH SPACE DO WE REALLY NEED?
PORTRAIT BY DEBORAH COTA
Not long ago, I took a drive through an old Denver neighborhood. As I admired the charming little bungalows and Tudors, it occurred to me that it wasn’t until very recently that large homes became available to lots of people. The old homes I passed that day typically have one living room, a small kitchen, a bedroom or two, one bathroom and very little closet space—and, occasionally, a detached one-car garage. These days, many of us would find a house like that to be cramped and constraining. We’ve come to expect eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, his-and-hers bathroom vanities and three-car garages. But I can’t help wondering, do we really need all that room? Much like a river expands to reach its banks, we can always find ways to fill more space. Within months after moving from a 1,500-square-foot townhome to a 2,200-square-foot house, my husband and I had managed to fill every closet and cupboard. But lately I’m drawn to the idea of having just enough, rather than more than enough. I’d like to find a home with less square footage and more special details that make it different from every other house on the block. And I’d like to strip away the excess and get down to decorating with the things I really love. The homes in this issue have added fuel to that fire. The largest (on page 86) is a 2,500-square-foot condo in Vail that’s brimming with beautiful design details, from marble fireplaces and mother-of-pearl countertops to walls clad with reclaimed snow fencing, python-skin-print papers and rich paisley fabrics. The smallest (on page 100) is a 450-square-foot cottage that packs a remarkable amount of function— kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom, jewelry-making studio and sleeping loft—into its tiny footprint. So is bigger really better, or can you get great design in a small space too? Send me an email, post on our Facebook wall or send a tweet to tell me what you think. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

SMALL IS
MIGHTY Jay Shafer takes the old adage “less is more” to a radical level. The visionary behind Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has lived in dwellings as small as 89 square feet and designs homes ranging in size from 99 square feet to 874 square feet. Here, he shares thoughts on paring down, living lightly and gaining happiness in the process. STORY BY CAROLINE EBERLY
What inspired you to start building homes that are smaller than some people’s garages? Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is born of my personal desire for a space that accommodates my needs without saddling me with a lot of extra debt and maintenance. I’ve always tried to create a sense of meaning for myself and link that to the rest of the world, and nothing does that better than home; it’s like a selfportrait in the end. So I built a house that was 89 square feet and just kept on building after that. Tell us more about your idea of home. I believe a real sense of home comes from being surrounded by the things that are essential to your life; anything that’s unessential diminishes that—and makes life less meaningful. So, how have you edited such modest floor plans down to the essentials? I’ve looked at what people everywhere have found to be homey. If you break it down, that usually includes a gabled roof and four walls, a prominent front door, a bathroom and kitchen, and a living room and sleeping area. I don’t believe much

in dining rooms. I grew up living in 4,000 square feet with four people, and we used the dining room twice a year but cleaned the space about 50 times a year and heated it all winter long. What does the process of acquiring a Tumbleweed house look like? When we build a house for someone, it arrives fully assembled and ready for folks to move into. We don’t build that many houses, though; we sell far more plans than we do homes. Many of the people who buy our plans are fairly frugal and figure they have sweat equity to work with. How do your tiny homes hold up in the high country? When I’m designing, I try to design for any environment, but it turns out that living in a small structure actually makes living in a very cold or hot environment much easier because you don’t have much space to heat or cool. Beyond that, the philosophy behind a home this small is that the outdoors becomes the living room. What’s your advice for people who want to pare down? It’s a lifestyle choice, not a house choice. For most Americans, if we’re unhappy, we buy more stuff. But living simply is about knowing what really makes you happy. If something makes your whole life happier, then it’s making the world better. It all comes down to the microcosm of home. tumbleweedhouses.com

TOP SPACE-SAVING TIPS

Think vertically “I try to take advantage of vertical spaces and maximize every cubic foot with storage. Putting a bed in a loft saves a lot of floor space and a tall, narrow Japanese ofuro bathtub makes great use of vertical space; you’re immersed up to your shoulders.”

Visit mountainliving.com/smallismighty to read the extended interview with Jay Shafer.
Make furniture multitask “Choose furnishings that do double duty, like a couch that turns into a desk or a dining table that serves as a workstation. When it comes to transformer furniture, the fewer moving parts, the better.” Reclaim wasted space “Use spaces like hallways and stairways—throughways of any kind— for storage, or even turn them into functional rooms. You could turn a hallway into a library by lining one or both sides with bookshelves, or put storage under the stairway. I like to put little drawers in the risers of a staircase.” Go for a hike “The best thing you can do to figure out what you need is to go backpacking for a week. The things you wish you hadn’t taken along are the things you probably don’t need, and that’s the way all of life is.” ○ ML | www.mountainliving.com 31

SURROUNDED BY 25 ACRES OF LAVENDER FIELDS, cottonwood groves and gardens in the village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, New Mexico, Los Poblanos has been drawing visitors since the 1930s, when congressman Albert Simms and his wife, Ruth Hannah McCormick Simms, purchased the then-800-acre ranch and commissioned the region’s foremost architect, John Gaw Meem, to create a cultural center to host their political and community events. The Simms’ vision for a lively gathering place lives on today at Los Poblanos, thanks to the ongoing efforts of three generations of the Rembe family, who not only purchased and reunited parcels of the original ranch, saving them from redevelopment, but worked to restore and preserve the property’s original architecture, artwork, agricultural fields and formal gardens. These days, guests can quite literally enjoy the fruits of the Rembes’ labors, harvested daily at Los Poblanos’ organic farm, which provides produce to the inn’s kitchen as well as a local CSA, and also cultivates lavender and honeybees. The original Simms residence now serves as a small inn, and the La Quinta Cultural Center still hosts celebrations, meetings and educational and cultural events. >>
STORY BY CHRISTINE DEORIO

Check the online events calendar for the latest lineup. PRICE POINT From $150 per night for a standard Ranch House room in the historic inn, and $178 per night for a Farm Suite.

TRAVEL
Get inspired
Eat (really) well
Designed in 1932 by architect John Gaw Meem, known as the “Father of Santa Fe Style,” the inn and La Quinta Cultural Center are adorned with artwork by some of the finest artists of the time, including a fresco by Peter Hurd, handcarved doors and mantels by Gustave Baumann, tin light fixtures by Robert Woodman and ironwork by Walter Gilbert. Famed landscape architect Rose Greely designed the property’s formal Spanish-style gardens, tile fountains and cottonwood allée.
What’s the best part about a stay at Los Poblanos? Breakfast, according to many guests. Each morning, organic fruits, vegetables, eggs and honey are harvested from the onsite farm, turned into stews and hashes, blintzes and compotes, then served up in the inn’s charming dining room. Light evening meals are served Wednesdays through Saturdays, and “Field to Fork” cooking classes and sevencourse chef’s tasting dinners take place throughout the year.
Sleep tight
Blow off steam Swim in the saltwater pool, explore the Rio Grande River trail on a cruiser bike, learn to make artisanal cocktails or pickled vegetables at a cooking class, sign up for an aromatherapy workshop or indulge in an in-room massage. Or, satisfy your inner farmer by volunteering at the organic farm, where you can harvest produce, milk goats, gather eggs, and pick up a few gardening tips from Farmer Sean.

Twenty simple yet stylish guest rooms show off New Mexico’s classic style with inviting wood-burning fireplaces, carved ceiling beams and antique New Mexican furnishings, and open to courtyards and the property’s historic gardens. Cozy up to a kiva fireplace in the original John Gaw Meem-designed ranch house, or opt for a bright, airy suite in a 1930s dairy-style building with pitched tin roof.

WESTERN DESIGN CONFERENCE THE 20TH ANNUAL WESTERN DESIGN CONFERENCE EXHIBITION + SALE will take place September 6 through 9 in Jackson Hole, one of the nation’s largest traditional art markets.
BEST OF THE OLE WEST
The juried show features 100+ artists who have successfully competed for invitations to showcase their works. These talented artists and craftspeople bring unique qualities and interpretations to Western design, creating original and innovative pieces of functional art that are not massproduced, but are truly one of a kind. This type of work is valued by collectors and designers worldwide, many of whom will attend the conference. “The artists, artisans and designers chosen to participate in the Western Design Conference are the best in their field, whether they work in wood, metal, fabric, or another medium,” says conference director Nancy McCullough-McCoy.
14
The Western Design Conference will continue its tradition of providing artisans, exhibitors and patrons an unparalleled experience in Jackson Hole. Hosted by Teton Home and Living magazine, the conference brings together craftspeople, collectors, interior designers, architects and fashion designers who share a passion for the West. There’s also a lecture taking place on Thursday, September 6, by renowned boot-maker Lisa Sorrell, titled “From Prairie Skirts to Cowboy Boots.” The conference’s Exhibition and Sale showcases contemporary crafts that highlight artistic Western traditions. “Whereas ‘Western’ may conjure images of elk-antler chandeliers and rustic pine furniture, the work displayed at the Western Design Conference goes beyond the traditional and the expected,” says event manager Allison Merritt. “Many of the items exhibited could be termed ‘Western fusion’ in style, revealing hints of Adirondack, rustic, lodge, Asian, Hispanic, Native American, and/or modern influences.” All artists selected for the show will exhibit their work in a gallery-style pedestal display. All pieces displayed are handmade in the United States or Canada. “The energy building up in anticipation of this nationally recognized event is invigorating to all involved, but it especially excites the artists who work all year to create a one-of-a-kind piece to display,” Merritt says. “I’ve received countless calls from artists telling me that not only are they extremely happy to have made it through the jury process, but now they’re working on a piece to win Best in Show. This is really going to be a great exhibit and sale.” The conference and exhibition will take place at the Pavilion at Snow King Resort from September 7-9.
JACKSON HOLE
The always-popular Western Design Conference Fashion Show will light up the runway Thursday, September 6, at the Center for the Arts in downtown Jackson.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 Amy Ringholz introduces “SOMETHING WILD THIS WAY COMES,” an evening of creativity and magic: At 34, I am the youngest featured artist to be chosen to represent this prestigious event. It is absolutely thrilling for me to break boundaries and to blaze a trail in the art world for other young artists. Aside from being proud of this accomplishment, I am equally grateful. Each year the Chamber puts together an incredible week of events to spoil our visitors and locals who enjoy art. Although the festival is extremely high-class, fun and well done, I have felt for years we are missing something. The tagline for the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival is “A Celebration of Art in the Tetons.” I thought it was time to push that tagline to its potential and really give art fans a treat. I decided to create a ‘thank you’ party where the town could mingle with its artists and this event has been named “Something Wild This Way Comes.” Two major things have transformed this event. First, I have brought in four local conservation groups this gathering will benefit. I often preach about not only using your gift for good, but giving it back to the world. The best part about September 15, 2012, is that something as small as an intention in my mind has grown into an incredible labor of love; an effort to do something bigger than ourselves. Proving that goodwill does bring out the
best in people and that one little person with a big dream can in fact inspire the world. Not a dollar will be made on this event; it will all go to the preservation of Jackson Hole, a place where dreams come true. Center for the Arts back lawn 6:30-10pm, somethingwildthiswaycomes.com

For the past six years, the Chamber of Commerce, with the help of The Liquor Store, has made available a commemorative bottling of a quality red and white wine. Part of the proceeds of the sale of these wines is designated to support the Fall Arts Festival. Bottles may be purchased for $15.99 at The Liquor Store, next to Albertson’s.

WESTERN VISIONS
The 25th Annual Western Visions®, presented by the National Museum of Wildlife Art, is one of the signature events of the Jackson Hole Fall Arts Festival. Always exciting and fresh, Western Visions consists of a number of events held over several days. The wide variety of events ensures there is something for every artistic palate. The money raised from this fundraiser supports educational programming at the museum. The week’s events, offered at the museum's award–winning facility across from the National Elk Refuge, draw an international crowd. During the Fall Arts Festival (and year-round), the museum is a hub for art lovers and wildlife and outdoor enthusiasts. The event showcases several of the nation’s leading wildlife artists and challenges them to scale the grandeur of the outdoors into petite proportions. Artists are encouraged to contribute a painting or sculpture no larger than 9 x 12 inches. In addition to miniatures, noted artists also contribute larger works for the event, known as “Mores.” This year’s Western Visions is comprised of four distinct shows and sales. The always-popular Painting & Sculpture Show and Sale includes original works of art from many perspectives. Find distinctive jewelry and wearable arts at the Jewelry & Artisan Show and Sale. The Original Prints Show and Sale includes a variety of etchings, woodblock and lithography pieces. The Sketch Show and Sale features sketches in various media created by Western Visions artists as part of their creative process. On the morning of Thursday, September 13, join featured artists Richard Loffler and Tucker Smith “On the Trail.” Richard Loffler’s heroic sculpture, “Buffalo Trails,” will be unveiled on the museum’s new sculpture trail. After the unveiling, join Tucker Smith for lunch and a horseback ride. Tickets are $100. The museum and the Rising Sage Café are in full swing during the daytime. Make sure you reserve a few hours to enjoy the impressive gathering of paintings, sculpture, sketches, photography, jewelry, textiles and more.

TUCKER SMITH Tucker Smith was born in Minnesota and raised in Wyoming. He graduated from the University of Wyoming with a degree in mathematics and a minor in art. He now lives in western Wyoming, surrounded by wildlife and the mountain atmosphere that he enjoys. Most of his work depicts contemporary scenes, with a great emphasis on sense of place. He has exhibited at most of the major art shows in the United States and won the prestigious Prix de West Purchase Award in 1990. In 1999, he won the Thomas Moran Memorial Award for Painting at Masters of the American West. In 2007, he won the Autry National Center’s Trustees’ Purchase Award. In 2008, he received the Governor’s Art Award through the Wyoming Art Council.
RICHARD LOFFLER Richard Loffler was born and raised in Saskatchewan, where he absorbed the natural beauty of the prairie. Since boyhood, nature and wildlife have been integral parts of his being. Working with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum from 1978 to 2000 became the impetus for his artistic endeavors. Loffler feels strongly that when art is nurtured with discipline and cast from the heart, it communicates in an emotional language that transcends cultures and provokes the movement of thought in thousands. Loffler has been a member of the Society of Animal Artists and the National Sculpture Society since 1989.

AN UNCONVENTIONAL HOUSE ON A CENTRAL IDAHO RANCH PROVIDES BIG COMFORT IN A SMALL FOOTPRINT
PHOTOGRAPHY BY AUDREY HALL
Resting in the lee of a gentle knoll surrounded by 3,785 acres of ranchland, the compact, clean-lined log cabin faces a trout creek that’s less than 200 feet away. “You can sit on the porch and see the fish rising,” architect Clark Stevens says. Views through the southeast-facing expanse of glass, which provides passive solar heating, extend for miles across Idaho’s Little Lost River Valley to the distant Lemhi Range.

SEEN FROM A DISTANCE, THE 700-SQUARE-FOOT CABIN ON SUMMIT SPRINGS RANCH, a historic 3,785acre property in Idaho’s Upper Little Lost River Valley, may bring to mind a rustic house-shaped spacecraft set down in a faraway wilderness. And that somewhat fanciful description is, in fact, not too far from its creators’ intentions. “It’s a viewing machine,” explains Clark Stevens, president of New West Land Company in Topanga, California. Stevens designed the modest residence with 360-degree mountain views on behalf of the ranch’s developers, Beartooth Capital, a Bozeman, Montana-based investment company dedicated to restoring and protecting significant western ranch properties. The home Stevens designed had to be the sort that would “attract the kind of buyer amenable to habitat restoration,” he says. “It had to make a minimal impact on the site and become part of the landscape—instead of taking a big lodge-style approach—while providing every basic need in a charming way that fit the local vernacular.” Stevens and his colleagues met these low-impact, landscape-friendly goals by conducting careful studies to identify possible settings that would best capture the beauty of the surroundings without impacting the environment (see sidebar). They chose a spot off to the side of the valley floor, a short stroll from a trout creek. In early autumn, before the cold weather set in, they sank four concrete piers into the ground. Then, the log-and-glass house was fabricated over the winter by Salmon River Log Homes, located just a couple of hours away in the town of Salmon, Idaho. The following spring, the house was trucked in on its steelframe base and bolted securely to the waiting piers—where it will remain unless a buyer later decides to unbolt it and move it elsewhere on the ranch. Stevens created the floor plan by combining three typical Western structures: “It’s basically an amalgamation of a calving shed and a granary, connected by a dogtrot,” he says with a note of amusement. Occupying the “calving-shed” portion of the building—about 40 percent of the total square footage—is a bedroom, enclosed toilet and sink, and an enameled cast-iron bathtub that sits out in the open and makes the house “feel more like a spa or retreat,” Stevens says. The long, narrower “dogtrot,” a living/sitting area, connects the bedroom to the “granary,” a towerlike space that contains the kitchen and, up a ladder, an 8-by-12foot loft platform where guests can sleep or kids can hang out. That’s a lot of function for such a small space. The design enhances a feeling of spaciousness thanks to sightlines that stretch from one end of the house to the other, few partitions and expansive windows at every turn. “Having less house makes you feel more like you’re living on the land,” Stevens says. And, in this case, that means calling 3,785 acres home rather than 700 square feet. ○ RIGHT, TOP: The home’s roof of naturally patinated corrugated steel hews closely to the Western vernacular. RIGHT, BOTTOM: The bathtub, which occupies part of the passageway between the bedroom and living area, contributes a spa-like ambiance. The wall behind it was built from acoustic plywood panels that appear to match the logs. FACING PAGE: The bedroom wall features squared-off timbers with light gray chinking, which put a clean, contemporary spin on the cabin’s rustic style.

HIGH- AND LOW-TECH APPROACHES TO SITING A HOUSE Modern technology can help architects position their designs with pinpoint precision. For the 700-square-foot cabin he designed at Summit Springs Ranch, architect Clark Stevens paired state-of-the-art digital software with on-site study. DIGITAL MODELING Stevens and his team began by constructing a 3-D digital model of the house on their computers, which allowed them to manipulate the structure and examine it from all angles.
82
VIRTUAL EARTH Still at their computers, they then figuratively “dropped the house onto the land using Google Earth,” Stevens says. The website’s satellite imaging allowed them to fully imagine how the house would look on the site and what the views would be, and adjust its orientation and window placement accordingly.
ON-SITE OBSERVATION Knowing that nothing compares to firsthand human experience, Stevens then visited the site with a stepladder in tow. “I carried it around to where the windows would be, climbed it and looked through the rungs at each window’s height,” he says. The result? Views that are “really fine-tuned.”
“ OUR AIM WAS TO CONDENSE EVERYTHING THAT IS GREAT ABOUT THIS RANCH INTO A SINGLE SPOT, A SINGLE EXPERIENCE.” CLARK STEVENS
Windows in the cabin’s upper-level loft were placed at mattress height so guests could awaken to mountain views. FACING PAGE: The cabin’s window wall juts out four feet to define a seating area, then extends into the kitchen. Tongueand-groove pine flooring received the same nontoxic finish as the log walls, which darkened the wood to enhance the illusion that the house was built decades ago. Reasonably priced spun-aluminum ceiling fixtures are from IKEA.

CONTEMPORARY APPROACH TO PLANNING BY TRYING TO ELIMINATE BARRIERS INSIDE THE HOUSE, AND ALSO THOSE BETWEEN INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.” CLARK STEVENS

Viewed from the entry side, the portion of the structure that contains the loft and living area resembles an old granary tower. A stepladder leads to an 8-by-12-foot loft platform that functions as an additional bedroom. In clement weather, the compact living space extends outdoors.

A REMODELED BACHELOR PAD IN VAIL PROVES YOU DON’T NEED A MANSION TO HAVE THE MOUNTAIN GETAWAY OF YOUR DREAMS
STORY BY HILARY MASELL OSWALD
86
PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIMBERLY GAVIN
This condo’s handsome dining room—defined by leather and wood—gets a touch of softness from plaid fabric by Lee Jofa. FACING PAGE: For the living room, interior designer Cindy Bardes Galvin selected rough-sawn reclaimed snow fencing for the fireplace wall and Wallace Creek marble for the fireplace itself. The chenille sofa and wingback chairs, covered in Lee Jofa’s Mille Fleur fabric, are soft counterparts to the wrought-iron coffee table. 87
The kitchen is a study in textures: One-by-eight-inch ceramic tiles from Artistic Tile offer a bit of shine, while bar stools from Palecek and light fixtures from Gabby add understated style. The kitchen cabinets underwent a five-step gray-wash process to get the color just right. FACING PAGE, LEFT: Galvin topped the cabinets with mother-of-pearl quartzite countertops, then added stainless-steel appliances and a custom hood. FACING PAGE, RIGHT: Galvin chose the bold Cordoba wallcovering from Manuel Canovas and gray slate floors for the entry and hallway. Using the same materials in both spaces keeps them from feeling chopped up or small. 88
The design orders for this remodeled condo in Vail Village’s Rams-Horn Lodge were straightforward: “Make the most of every square inch, just like in a ship,” the client said. Easier said than done. But architect Kyle Webb and interior designer Cindy Bardes Galvin couldn’t pass up what was a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity: The Rams-Horn Lodge owners’ association had agreed to overhaul the old, nondescript building, giving the condo owner a chance to create a space with everything he wanted—and nothing he didn’t. “We used every square inch,” Webb says. “We worked out every little nuance of every detail.” In less than 2,500 finished square feet, the pair packed in four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, a comfortable dining room, a gorgeous kitchen, and family and living rooms with plenty of space to lounge.
How? The living spaces form essentially one expansive room that makes the most of the condo’s unobstructed views of Vail Mountain to the south and the Gore Range to the east. The bedrooms are cozy and comfortable, but not enormous. With the footprint designed, Galvin visited the owner’s California home to get a sense of how he lives. “He told me, ‘I love wood,’” she says. But instead of creating a brown, lodge-style getaway, Galvin opted for a fresher interpretation. She selected heathered gray, rough-sawn reclaimed snow fencing from Wyoming for the fireplace wall in the living room and the bar area in the kitchen. Next she added doors, casing, trim and crown molding in a custom smoked-gray finish. These muted hues set the stage for the rest of the condo. >>

BELOW, LEFT: “It’s one of my signature moves,” Galvin says of the coffered ceilings with pops of color on the recessed drywall—an easy way to add architectural interest and color to any space. (Galvin added coffered ceilings in all four bedrooms and the living and dining areas.) BELOW, RIGHT: Clean-lined and handsome, the master bath shows off a Balneo tub from BainUltra. The floors look like wood, but they’re actually black-and-brown porcelain tiles, a water-friendly alternative. FACING PAGE: Patterns blend beautifully in this guest room. Galvin chose the Marcel striped wallcovering from Stark, Windowpane Wool fabric from Lee Jofa for the custom headboard and Holly Hunt’s Estrella Christal fabric for the window treatments.
To pull off the relatively monochromatic color scheme, Galvin selected a wide range of materials that add depth and texture. She covered the living and dining room walls in a buttery yellow vinyl wallpaper by Thibaut with a python-skin texture. She chose black marble for the fireplace and added nickel carpet tacks to the wood surround for a bit of shine. In the kitchen, she opted against boring painted drywall and instead covered the walls in one-by-eight-inch shiny porcelain tiles. Metal-and-linen chandeliers from Gabby light the space. And in each bedroom, Galvin added a coffered ceiling and “popped an accent color” into the recessed squares. “It’s easy to forget the ceilings, but this trick is a good way to add architectural interest,” she says. Next, Galvin layered on rugs, furnishings and fixtures that look and feel both sophisticated and casual.

The living room hosts a chenille gray-and-yellow sofa, two squared-off wingback chairs in a gray-and-yellow stag print, a leather trunk-inspired side table, and a two-toned wood coffee table with an iron base. The family room seats 15 on a handsome sectional sofa covered in highly durable ultrasuede; two additional “airplane” chairs in leather with riveted aluminum backs and bases are both playful and masculine. The bedrooms embody softness, courtesy of upholstered headboards, textured blankets and coverlets, and patterned window treatments. “People tend to think that bigger is always better, and that you can only get ‘real design’ in a large space,” Galvin says. “That’s just not true. This condo feels big enough but also intimate. It’s a home that’s beautiful and functions just as it should.” ○

RIGHT: Galvin upholstered the walls in the master bedroom to add a layer of luxury. “It lends such a coziness to the room,” she says of the Ralph Lauren Home Traquaire Paisley fabric. The headboard is upholstered with Fabricut’s “Koala” leather. BOTTOM: Galvin added a bit of pattern to these window treatments with Groundworks’ Honeycomb trim. FACING PAGE: Airplane chairs are a clever— and comfortable—design trick: The leather echoes the dining room chairs, and the aluminum bases reflect the stainless steel in the kitchen. “It’s all subtly woven together,” Galvin says. “Repeating materials in separate spaces helps create a cohesive design.”
Mix It Up Designer Cindy Bardes Galvin is a master at mixing patterns to create the casual sophistication so many mountain-home owners want. So how does she do it? INDULGE IN SAMPLES “I pull at least 50 fabrics for each job,” Galvin says. As she decides on fixed finishes—like the snow fencing surrounding the living room’s fireplace—she edits down her stack to the fabrics that work best with the finishes. STICK WITH A COLOR PALETTE “You can do almost anything if you have a defined palette,” the designer says. In the master bedroom (right), Galvin upholstered the walls with a rich paisley fabric and then repeated the earthy colors in stripes, checks, solids and paisleys throughout the space to complete the look. DON’T CONFUSE PATTERN AND TEXTURE In the living room, the gray chenille sofa has the faintest hint of yellow thread. “To me, that’s not a pattern. It’s texture,” Galvin says. Small spaces that might be overwhelmed by bold patterns can handle—and will benefit from—a wide range of textures and materials. MATCH YOUR FABRIC TO YOUR LIFESTYLE Not all fabrics wear well, so pay attention to where you’ll use that fabulous linen-and-silk herringbone. “Pick mohair, cut velvet or chenille for anything that gets heavy-duty use,” Galvin suggests. Use linen or silk for pieces that get less use or for accents, such as pillows, that you can replace more easily.

1,600 SQUARE FEET A DESIGN TEAM TURNS A DILAPIDATED OLD FARMHOUSE INTO A COMFORTABLE FAMILY RETREAT WITH STYLE TO SPARE
94
WHEN THEY FIRST VISITED THE LITTLE HOUSE on the banks of Montana’s Yellowstone River, architect Brett Nave, residential designer Lori Ryker and interior designer Stephanie Sandston had to look past a few eyesores to see its potential. “It was leaning in six directions, there was purple shag carpeting on the stairs and a baby goat on the kitchen countertop,” Nave recalls. An added wrinkle: Because of its location in a floodway and no-build zone, the structure couldn’t be expanded beyond its original footprint. But the more they contemplated the space, “the more obvious it became that something wonderful could be done with it,” Sandston says. “The main room had a beautiful, simple shape that was worth saving.” Homeowner Paige York wasn’t deterred either, and gave the design team her challenge: Create a comfortable vacation retreat—complete with a master suite, bedroom and bath for her two young children, kitchen, living and dining rooms and plenty of storage space—all in just 1,600 square feet. STORY BY CHRISTINE DEORIO

CHOOSE COLOR WISELY “If you’ve done the work to bring natural light in and then you paint the walls a dark color, you’re killing the light,” Nave says. “It’s better to choose moderate to light colors that complement the color of the natural light.” Throughout the house, walls are painted a sage green hue and the wood ceilings are painted white or lightly whitewashed. In the master bedroom (below), the wood ceiling is covered with a diluted version of the green wall color.
LET THE OUTDOORS IN To make the most of the home’s beautiful surroundings— and brighten the interiors with natural light—the design team created multiple connections to the outdoors. Thoughtfully placed windows capture views of willow trees, mountains and the river, and porches and decks offer additional living space in summer months.

To fit a lot of function in a little house, the design team whittled down the proportions. Walkways were trimmed from a typical width of 4 feet to just 2.5 feet, and some interior doors are just 24 inches wide. To squeeze in a dining room, they designed a 2-by-8-foot walnut table and built-in banquette. Easy-to-maneuver backless stools stand in for chairs.
“People often struggle with window size and placement,” Nave says. “If every window is large, at some point the space begins to feel like a fishbowl. You need some windows that are bigger than you are to make you feel like you’re outside, but you also need smaller windows for contrast.”
In a small space, corraling clutter is key. “This house doesn’t have closets, which are actually pretty inefficient,” Nave says. “Instead, we put in a lot of cabinetry.” Bedroom built-ins offer cupboards at the top, drawers at the base and a hanging wardrobe in between. Near the kitchen, an 8by-8-foot wall of wardrobe-style storage conceals pantry items.
“My first inclination was to choose small-scale living room furnishings,” York says, “but I did the exact opposite.” Oversized chaises by Verellen stand in for couches and double as daybeds for the kids. A vintage chair upholstered in yellow vinyl and leggy lacquered tables lighten the look. “I love the contrast of a sleek modern piece with the ‘crunch factor’ of the wood floors and walls,” York says.

FACILITATE FLOW A round table placed at the center of the living room encourages traffic to circulate around it. A slipcovered club chair and two chaises—which provide as much seating as sofas, minus the bulk—are positioned around the perimeter of the room. “A more traditional furniture layout would have killed the action of the room, the cross views and the sense of open space,” Ryker says.
97
OPEN UP “One of our design challenges was keeping the upstairs rooms from feeling enclosed,” Sandston says. The solution is translucent resin wall panels by 3form that serve as a dividing wall and headboard, eliminating the need for a bed frame. The design team built a basic platform bed and slid it up against the wall, then added simple L-shaped bedside tables that are built right into the wall. “The 3form panels have reeds running through them,” Sandston says, “and when light passes through, the effect is much like sunlight filtering through trees.”
98
CHOOSE FURNISHINGS THAT “FLOAT” The compact master bathroom features a five-foot-long bathtub and concrete sinks supported by a steel frame. “We floated the cabinetry above the floor so the space doesn’t feel so packed,” Nave says. A sliding barn-style door between the bedroom and bathroom (left and below)—one of the few doors in the house—is inset with frosted green glass panels to let light flow through. “We avoided closing off any space too much,” Nave says. “Any time there’s a window in a room, we want to let that natural light pass through to the next space.”
KEEP IT SIMPLE “When designing a small space, it’s important to always ask yourself, ‘What else can I take away?’” Ryker says. To minimize visual clutter, she suggests creating one concise palette of details and materials—and sticking with it throughout the house. Notice how the combination of steel and wood on the stair railing (left) repeats on the sliding barn-style door (right) and the vanity in the master bathroom (top). To keep this bare-bones palette from feeling cold, the design team incorporated lots of local and reclaimed materials, like the old pickle-vat wood used on the floors. “Materials like that add warmth without cluttering the space,” Ryker says. ○

WHEN DAN AND BARBARA WATSON ENLISTED A DESIGN TEAM TO REMODEL THE OLD COTTAGE ON THEIR GENESEE, COLORADO, PROPERTY, IT’S SAFE TO SAY THAT NEITHER THE ARCHITECT, BUILDER, NOR EVEN THE WATSONS THEMSELVES REALIZED WHAT THEY WERE GETTING INTO. The couple hired TKP Architects, the firm that had remodeled their nearby primary home, to turn the small, squat structure into a guesthouse and goldsmithing studio for Barbara. But it wasn’t long before project architect Peter Boes discovered that the structure—built in 1931 on a foundation of old telephone poles—would face some serious zoning restrictions. “Because the county considered the outbuilding a ‘nonconforming’ structure, the new design couldn’t exceed the exterior dimensions already in place—including its height,” he says. “That gave us just 450 square feet to work with. And since we couldn’t build up, we decided to dig down.” By lowering the floor of the cottage into the hillside—and adding a steeply pitched roof with large dormer windows—the architect was able to increase the volume of space inside the guesthouse. “The new, lower floor required us to move the front door from the high side of the slope to the low side, which provided the opportunity to create a private patio at grade,” he says. General contractor Cress Carter of Old Greenwich Builders oversaw the excavation to lower the floor. As Murphy’s Law would have it, his crew soon hit a >> THIS PAGE, FROM TOP: The cottage serves as Barbara Watson’s jewelry-making studio, and her tools and equipment are organized in the cabinets behind the corner table.

bank of solid granite. Since they couldn’t blast it with dynamite, the men had to use hydraulic splitters to painstakingly chisel out four feet of rock. Dan and Barbara had been intrigued by the architecture of several stone U.S. Park Service buildings they’d seen during a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, a vernacular they hoped to incorporate in the new design. “We appreciated the timeless quality of those old buildings, with heavy boulders at the base tapering upward, and we envisioned a cottage that would seem to grow out of the rock outcroppings that surround it,” Dan says. To recreate the look of those historic structures, Carter’s team used massive stones to build the cottage’s exterior walls. “Each stone was carefully chosen to fit,” Carter says. “Imagine trying to delicately place a several-ton boulder with a crane. None of us had ever done anything quite like that before.” Antique timbers were specified for the interior trusses, adding to the cottage’s vintage feel. >> 104

“THE VOLUME OF THE SPACE MAKES THE COTTAGE FEEL MUCH BIGGER THAN ITS SMALL SQUARE FOOTAGE.” PETER BOES
The old-growth pine beams and wide-plank flooring were reclaimed from a Civil War-era ammunition factory in Louisiana. Though the home’s aesthetic may be rooted in the past, its construction takes full advantage of modern amenities like energy-efficient windows and doors, spray-foam insulation and radiant heat floors. “It’s always cozy inside, no matter what the weather is like outside,” Barbara says. The open floor plan was streamlined by the use of built-in cabinetry, which hides a fold-down bed and Barbara’s jewelry-making tools and equipment. A partial upper floor, accessible by a ladder, was added as a sleeping loft. “We wanted to recreate the cozy feeling you have as a child when you’re tucked in a comfortable nook,” Barbara says. “Children love the loft, and adults tell us they feel like kids when they’re up there reading.” Visitors are always surprised to learn that the guesthouse is new. “The limitations on the height and size drove us to seek solutions that ultimately added authenticity and charm to the house,” Boes says. “The cottage seems much more attached to the site and its surroundings now.” ○ FROM TOP: The compact bathroom features full functionality, including a shower and vanity. Light from two windows reflects off the mirror to keep the space bright. A special swivel design allows the little round window to open.

IN THEIR WORDS
ANGIE PACHE SENIOR DESIGNER ASSOCIATES III, DENVER, CO ASSOCIATES3.COM
“People often think that bold color will make a small space feel even smaller. I think the opposite is true. Using a chartreuse color like PETAL 02 by Yolo Colorhouse can give a powder room, alcove or even a tiny house warmth, character and pow! Small spaces are great places to try the trendy color of the season. If you don’t like it, it’s easy to change.” KRISTI DINNER AND SUSAN SCHWAB CO-OWNERS AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS COMPANY KD, DENVER, CO COMPANYKD.COM

FOR SMALL SPACES
“We love THUNDER by Devine Color because it’s warm, rich and inviting, evoking images of the Colorado mountains at dusk. We envision it in a small bedroom with wonderful views of the Rockies out the window, so the color continues out to the horizon. Pair it with bedding in other mountain-inspired colors like green and gray for a calm effect, and add accent colors that mimic an orange-and-purple sunset.” ELISA CHAMBERS PRINCIPAL DESIGNER SNAKE RIVER INTERIORS, JACKSON, WY SNAKERIVERINTERIORS.COM
“SLIPPER SATIN by Farrow & Ball is a strong neutral color that works as a wonderful backdrop for any small interior space. It complements strong, saturated colors, artwork and natural materials like wood and stone. When used with other neutrals it becomes very sophisticated.” KD FIKSO ARCHITECTURAL COLOR CONSULTANT AND INTERIOR DESIGNER DENVER, CO KDFIKSO.COM
“The lively orange BELLISSIMA by C2 Paint falls somewhere between a soft pastel and a bold citrus. With its flattering hint of blush, Bellissima doesn’t enclose a space, but warmly embraces it. The hue works well with charcoal grays and has a bit of a retro feel.”

“I love GENTLEMAN’S GRAY by Benjamin Moore. It’s an expansive color that creates an abyss that’s soothing and mystical. It’s also the perfect backdrop for any color under the sun!”

“SHAKER BEIGE by Benjamin Moore is great on the walls and ceiling of a small room like a bedroom, powder room or living space. It reads as a neutral, yet it blends perfectly with a gray or beige palette. My clients have loved the warmth of this paint color in their modern interiors.” LAURIE WATERHOUSE AND CYNTHIA SLAVENS CO-OWNERS AND INTERIOR DESIGNERS LAURIE WATERHOUSE INTERIORS, JACKSON, WY LAURIEINTERIORS.COM
“We just repainted our showroom in VAN BUREN BROWN by Benjamin Moore and we’re in love. Browns can be milky or purple-y, but this is almost a black brown. It looks great against a white trim, or paired with a gold frame or antique mercury glass, and it has a lot of depth, which we’re sort of crazy about. We’re absolutely not afraid of dark colors in small spaces. They add to the intimacy.” ○
