BARTILE BARTILE is a local, family-owned business that’s been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles for more than 78 years. Bartile roof tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating, have a 75year warranty and can be created in over 700 custom colors. “We can create a shake or slate tile that looks like the real thing but will last more than 75 years without the fire hazard or maintenance issues,” says Nick Evans, general 7 2 5 N. 1 000 Wes t, Ce nt e rv i l l e 8 0 1 - 2 9 5- 3443 b a r t i l e .co m @b ar t i leroof s
THE BLACK GOOSE DESIGN manager. “We have hundreds of roofs on the Wasatch front that are over 75 years old and still going strong. ” In addition to manufacturing the tiles, they also provide expert installation services in northern Utah. “Workmanship on a tile roof is key to its durability,” Evans says. “So we offer a warranty on tile as well as the installation. We go one step further to make sure we get it right the first time.”

“We make one-ofa-kind dream roofs. As the only custom tile manufacturer in the United States, we customize our roofs to meet very specific requests—and that keeps the business exciting.” NICK EVANS / GENERAL MANAGER
THE BLACK GOOSE DESIGN is a full-service interior design firm with a large showroom located in Midvale. “At The Black Goose Design, we believe in designing spaces that are classic and current,” says Senior Designer Denise Johnson. When designing homes all over the western United States, The Black Goose Design prioritizes creating homes that reflect the personalities of the people who live in them. “You can ask 100 friends, and look at all the pictures on Instagram, but in the end you need to be true to what 7 6 5 2 Ho l d en S t ., M i d val e 801-562-1933 t h eb l ack g o o s ed es i g n .co m @ t h eb l ack g o o s ed es i g n
resonates with you. Find one image that inspires you, and jump from there. Trust yourself, and don’t look back,” Johnson explains. The Black Goose Design has been in business for more than 35 years. That longevity with the business allows for repeat clients, trust and a wealth of knowledge. “I have seen every trend come and go, and come again,” says Johnson. “I am most excited that we are currently focusing on designing for the specific client, not making one look fit each client.” DENISE JOHNSON / SENIOR DESIGNER
“Modern design can still feel like a place you can gather, entertain and cozy up on your sofa.”
Ask the Expert KEEPING IT FRESH: It’s easy to keep things fresh when you have an unlimited palette of colors and 25 different styles and options to choose from. The possibilities are limitless. From slate and shake designs to mission and barrel tiles, we can create it all.
ON THE HORIZON: The combination of Legendary Slate tiles and standing seam metal is making waves in the modern contemporary style market. The color options, longevity and utility cost savings make it the go-to choice for modern-style homes.
BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR: Mission tiles. Many discerning homeowners and designers are creating custom-color factory blends to create the look of clay pan and cap mission tiles that can complement any style home.
Ask the Expert KEEPING IT FRESH: Invest in the staples of the space, create pop through pieces that can easily be updated. Never ask how much throw pillows cost— they are the jewelry of the room.
ON THE HORIZON: Jewel-toned color palettes, mohair, leather and fur are great textures and tones to create depth in your home.
DESIGN SECRET: Taking the time to connect with the clients, knowing how they will live in their homes, so we can give them beautiful spaces that function with their day-to-day lives.

C OMPL E T E D ESI G N BY EMILY G IL L R IE FOR EMILY GILLRIE, design is all about communicating a story. “I spend a lot of time with my clients trying to understand how they use their spaces in their daily lives,” says Gillrie, owner of Complete Design by Emily Gillrie. “By incorporating the client’s style and day-to-day living, we create functional and beautiful transformations for the client and their family.” Gillrie and her team work comprehensively with homeowners from start to finish. “We guide all clients through the entire process, starting with simple sketches eg c o mpletedes ig n @ gma i l .c om 8 1 3 -2 98- 7590 co m p l etedes ign byem i l y gi l l ri e .c om @ c o m p letedes ign bye g
to unpacking each box and placing all personal items in their homes,” Gillrie says. Complete Design’s clients are encouraged to thoroughly examine their daily functions in order to plan their updated spaces thoughtfully. “As a result, they will feel effortless and functional,” Gillrie explains. Having recently expanded her business to Utah after designing homes from New York to California, Gillrie is excited to bring a Southern traditional feel to the Mountain West.
EMILY GILLRIE / OWNER
“I am best known for my love of Southern traditional elements mixed with the ease of the West Coast.”
Ask the Expert HOT TAKE: No design is truly timeless—all ideas and concepts have a shelf life. Most homes require a refresh every 7-12 years, so don’t be afraid to try a trend or something out of the box. As long as it is something you love, you will be happy with the outcome.
KEEPING IT FRESH: High-end remodels make my pulse quicken. Every project brings new challenges and exciting results. Taking a space and turning it into something that’s a reflection of my client is my ultimate goal.
PRO TIP: Take your time on the planning part of the design process. Many people want to rush to get the bulldozer in, but thoughtful planning and sourcing of materials will ensure the best results.
AS UTAH’S PREMIER to-the-trade design showroom, Curate To The Trade champions the design community. “We are always listening and adjusting to today’s designer’s needs,” says Showroom Director Hannah Olague. Owner Allison Parkinson agrees. “We have an abundance of curated resources that designers can access to find inspiration including finish samples, fabric swatches, one-of-a-kind accessories and more. And it’s all here exclusively for designers.” Curate To The Trade believes no space is complete without a designer’s touch, which is why they work extensively with designers and continue to champion the design community as 3 6 0 S .

Visit the showroom online and in person for timeless design and unparalleled service. “A designer’s time is valuable, so when we’re working together, we try to be as helpful as possible,” Olague says. “There is space for designers to set up and work or to bring their clients in. We’re invested in supporting their creativity.” Curate To The Trade raises the bar for local trade showrooms by putting their clients’ needs at the forefront of their business. “Our long-standing relationships with our vendors help us offer better discounts and to be client advocates,” says Parkinson. “No project is too big or too small.”

GUIDING PRINCIPLE
Taking the extra step. The synergy of Parkinson’s breadth of experience with Olague’s passion for bringing the newest products to local designers is the momentum for what they do.
Ask the Expert EXCITED ABOUT: We are excited to see color come back into designers’ palettes. It’s all about blending neutrals with new, bold colors and patterns.
KEEPING IT FRESH: Do not overthink it! In a nontraditional sense, we believe flexibility plays a significant role in design. A common quality we see in Utah designers is their ability to take a ‘curveball’ and run with it.

As customers, Todd Olsen and Nate Hansen returned week after week for their “fix” of respite and relaxation. One day, the pair walked in and, to their dismay, discovered the store was closing its business. When the couple reported this news to Todd’s parents, Sherie and Mike Olsen, they were equally devastated by the thought of saying goodbye to this local treasure trove. The family decided that The

Ask the Expert MUST HAVE:
Ask the Expert KEY TO DESIGN: Making the space reflect who the client is. Listening to clients’ needs and incorporating their desires into my work brings it all together into cohesive, stylish and functional spaces that can be enjoyed for years to come.
WHERE TO SPLURGE: In the bedroom, splurge on lighting, lamps, fresh bedding and pillows. In shared spaces, spend on new textured wall papers and sculptured walls.
ON THE HORIZON: Home, kitchen and bathroom remodels with creative, custombuilt features and innovative storage solutions that add a unique dash of style to spaces.
Small, rechargeable lamps are stylish, splurge-worthy items. All hosts need one of these small wonders for their tables. These lights make a great gift for those who have everything.
PRO TIP: To make an impact in your own garden, create a destination that reflects your tastes and preferences. Take the time to cultivate something of your own, rather than letting trends dictate your style. Engage all your senses with movement, texture, aromas, color, light and sound.
STAY TRUE TO YOU: Creating a living space rich with personality and style is worth your time and investment over the years. The natural world figures heavily into that equation. Be guided by your values and interests, and then bring in quality elements to support those, one at a time.
