U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 1

Admittedly, I’ve never been comfortable living with high-octane hues. That’s why much of my home speaks in quiet neutrals and easy earth tones. I much prefer to write about color than to dwell in it. This may also explain why I get so excited when projects showcasing vibrant palettes cross my desk. For me, the most compelling pages often feature colorful spaces that are smart and witty, which as it turns out, frequently describe the people who live in them. Case in point: my dear friend, the late Mary Brown Malouf—the editor of Salt Lake magazine who penned countless food stories for our pages. Mary’s kitchen was bubblegum pink, a shade she matched to a piece of Bazooka chewing gum. Expressive, eccentric, warm and welcoming. That room was Mary. Pink was more than a color for Mary. It was a daily ritual, like walking her cat, slipping on a pair of cowboy boots and arming herself with stacks of bracelets and rings before conquering the day. Mary dressed in pink, decorated with pink, tinted her hair pink and enthusiastically sipped bubbly pink. She was the most ardent advocate of pink—or any “real” color for that matter—that I’ve ever known. Mary rejected pink’s reputation of being silly and simple. To her, it was a gloriously complicated color, and she didn’t discriminate. Flamingo? Fuchsia? Rosé? Gypsy? Elvis’ Cadillac? You bet. To her, pink had range and depth: Fabulous and fragile, soulful and smart, romantic and rebellious, ir-

reverent and endearing. The same can be said of Mary, who passed away late last year in a bizarre accident on the California coast. A wave literally swept her into the ocean. Her death, it turns out, was as astonishing as her life. During one of our memorable chats regarding color, I asked Mary whether she knew the song “Think Pink,” from the classic movie “Funny Face.” She did, of course. (Mary knew everything, but that’s another story). The song celebrated pink in a campy musical number: Red is dead, blue is through, Green’s obscene, brown’s taboo And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce Or chartreuse! Think pink! In typical form, Mary simply quipped, “You never hear songs about beige, do you?” She had me there. This brings us back to my innate comfort living with neutrals and earth tones. It’s a funny thing about comfort, though. Too much of it, and I start craving something more, something different. That may explain my hallway’s new tribal rug defined by bold geometrics and pulsating shades of saffron, cocoa, claret, and—you guessed it—pink. Mary, I think, would have been tickled. And that tickles me.

IT’S A WRAP Asparagus is among spring’s top crops, making it a fresh base for flavorful dishes throughout the season. Classic prosciutto-wrapped spears is an easy-to-fix forever fave. PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED ROASTED ASPARAGUS Easy as 1-2-3 Ingredients: 10 thin slices of prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound trimmed asparagus (about 20 stalks) Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Snap the tough, dry stem ends off of each asparagus, and put the remaining spears (also known as sprue) on a heavy baking sheet. Drizzle them with the olive oil and lightly sprinkle with pepper and salt, and toss. Place the spears side by side in a single level and roast until tender, approximately 15 minutes. 3. Allow the asparagus to cool, then wrap each spear with a half piece of thinly sliced prosciutto, leaving tips exposed. Arrange the wrapped spears on a wood board or platter and serve at room temperature.

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 1

ASPARAGUS TIP: If you're using thin asparagus, bunch two or three spears together before wrapping them in a single prosciutto slice to maintain a proper vegetable-tomeat ratio.

A gift from the people of Japan following World War II, the Yoshino trees symbolize the ephemeral nature of life and beauty. The scene also offers inspiration for a palette refresh that embraces lively hues included among many colorists’ top picks for 2021. Spring is said to be the season of new beginnings.

MEET THE MAKER

FINELY TAYLORED Designer Hillary Taylor, principal of Hillary W Taylor Interiors, is known for creating refined spaces that masterfully embrace modern livability with a sense of history that never strong-arms a space. It’s an aesthetic Taylor has used to elevate her compelling residential projects and the chic-yet-comfortable interiors of adoring clients nationwide. Now Taylor has infused this style into a capsule collection of furnishings for The CEH (Collected Eclectic Home), a bespoke furniture company based in Dallas. “My collection features a variety of pieces influenced by Neoclassical elements that aim to reflect a strong understanding of balance, line, scale and rhythm,” says Taylor, describing five handcrafted pieces ranging from a bow-front side table and a marble-topped pine console to a petite drinks table, stately upholstered screen and a scalloped mahogany table. They’re all handcrafted, made to order for designers and the public. The designs are all rooted in the past, but they’re anything but matchy-matchy. “I wanted to design a grouping that would all work together, but isn’t matching,” Taylor explains. The CEH asked their capsule creators to show their pieces in their own homes, so Taylor designed hers for her own family room. The pieces answer questions many of Taylor’s clients ask: Where do we put the remote? How do I protect this finish? How will this work if we have laptops or cleats or mud? How do we clean it? “All of that works into my designs,” she explains. The complementary furnishings marry traditional styles with 21st century functionality. Like Taylor’s interiors, the offerings are as practical as they are pretty. “I design homes for families and lifestyles where the furniture takes a beating. I wanted these pieces to stand up to that lifestyle and also last.” Taylor explains, “They’re designed for people to use and enjoy.”

SPRING FLING Blooming bulbs blanket Red Butte Garden’s hillsides with a springtime spectacle, inspiring many to plan and plant one of their own. BY DON SK YPECK

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 1

f, as Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “The earth laughs in flowers,” then spring currently has the grounds at Red Butte Garden in stitches. Every year from mid-March through early May, the Garden presents a riotous display of over 500,000 springtime blooming bulbs, more than half of which are daffodils (Narcissus). Most of the 239,000 daffodils peak in April, blanketing the hillsides in their sunny hues. The Garden is home to over 160 cultivars and species of daffodils and is recognized as an official Daffodil Display Garden by the American Daffodil Society. Other blooming bulbs in the Garden include Iris reticulata, Hyacinthus, Anemone, Allium, Eremurus, Fritillaria and many more. “Spring-blooming bulbs are a great asset to any garden design,” says Crystal Kim, garden horticulturist for Red Butte Garden. “They are a colorful and joyful reminder that winter is fading and spring is almost here.” Kim explains that spring bulbs are best planted in the fall to al-

low for vernalization, meaning exposure to a period of cold. This is essential for spring blooming. Fall planting, however, benefits from spring planning. “Before you begin planting bulbs next fall, take a look at your garden and decide what you wish to achieve,” Kim suggests. How will the blooms relate to the existing plants in your garden? What kind of soil, drainage and sun exposure do you have? Bloom time may be the most important consideration. Kim explains blooming bulbs are divided into several seasons of bloom, from very early spring through late spring, summer and even fall. By using a combination of bulbs with different flowering times, colors and sizes, it’s possible to create a beautiful display of blooms that lasts from late winter through late fall. For those who particularly delight in

daffodils, our climate offers ideal growing conditions. “Daffodils are great garden perennials,” Kim says. “They are droughttolerant and virtually pest-free.” Daffodils require water in the spring while blooming and growing, which is usually satisfied by our typical spring rainfall. Because these bulbs go dormant during summer, they easily tolerate the season’s hot, dry weather. What’s more, Kim explains, daffodils are very cold hardy and actually require a certain amount of cold temperatures to stimulate root and flower development. “If planted correctly, they will multiply and live happily in your garden for many years,” she says. As proven by Red Butte Garden’s bloom-covered grounds, daffodils may be the most surefire way to deliver springtime smiles and laughter to any landscape, perhaps even yours.

PHOTOS BY JASON BAKER, RED BUTTE GARDEN HORTICULTURIST

Crystal Kim’s Daffodil planting tips • Select bulbs that are firm and free of white mold (some blue-gray mold is okay and does not affect growth). Discard any soft, moldy bulbs. • Plant bulbs in the fall when the soil temperature has cooled below 54°F but hasn’t frozen yet. Along the Wasatch Front, bulbs can be planted through October and even into November, depending on weather. • Locate daffodils in any deep, welldrained soil in full sun. Planting beneath deciduous trees is okay if the trees leaf out after the bulbs have finished for spring and if tree roots don’t interfere with planting. • Plant daffodil bulbs at a depth two to three times the diameter of the bulb, which is usually about 6-8 inches deep. Space bulbs about three times the width of the bulb apart so that they have plenty of room to get established and multiply. • Position the bulbs pointed side up. The top of the bulb, from which the shoot emerges, is more narrow and pointed than the base. The base is rounded, with some of the previous year’s dried, hair-like roots attached to its somewhat flattened bottom. • Fertilize only if you have very poor soil. If you do use fertilizer, mix it into the soil at the bottom of the hole before planting the bulbs. • If planting during a dry autumn, make sure to irrigate your bulbs well, since roots start growing in fall. The cool weather of the fall season is great for growing roots. Visit redbuttegarden.org for more on spring bulbs and events calendar.

TRIM

Passementerie PANACHE

Today’s lively crop of trims, fringes, tapes and tassels is enjoying a moment—and more than a hint of tint.

For some tastemakers, a pillow is never finished until it is detailed with a touch of trim. Peony-colored leafy tape transforms this simple white pillow into an eye-catching accent. Trim and upholstery fabric from Thibaut.

uring the past few years, passementerie (aka trim) has been rejected by many tastemakers as a preference for less-is-more decorating that has ruled our roosts. But times and tastes have changed. Today’s love for fresh traditional, unbridled maximalist and layered modern styles has given this centuries-old decorative detail a robust reboot. Satisfying our craving for color, design pros are choosing vibrant and innovative trims, tapes, fringes and tassels to give bespoke décors—indoors and out—that perfect finishing touch. Think of it as their ace in the hole, as they use trim to customize everything from pillows and draperies to lampshades, bedding, furnishings and walls. The following passementeriepacked pages may inspire you to do the same.

1. LAMPSHADES

This fun Duck Feet lamp by Porta Romana deserved more than a ho-hum shade. Layers of Chevallerie Brush Fringe wrap the whimsical shade crowned with Aria Silk Brush Fringe. Both fringes are from Samuel & Sons.

2. TABLECLOTHS

Why suffer a plain tablecloth when patterned tape can transform it, defining the cloth’s angles, lines and shape? Cobble Hill tape by Thibaut does exactly that for this Kelly green table cloth.

3. BLINDS

Even the most beautiful blinds can benefit from a touch of trim that elevates their style and makes the view from inside even better. Fresh navy-andwhite Cobble Hill tape creates crisp vertical lines on these floral-patterned blinds. Trim and fabric by Thibaut.

4. PILLOWS & CUSHIONS

Clever designers use trims of all kinds to give cushions and pillows a special, customized look. Here, contrasting cord and strips of Clarence House’s Maui border accent the pillow’s center. Oahu border frames the cushion below.

5. WALLS

Whether used to create faux crown molding or to edge a wall treatment below, decorative trim can make a surprising statement when applied directly to a wall. Here, Mokum’s multi-colored ribbon features an embroidered Arabic star tile that complements the bold wall treatment beneath it.

6. DRAPERIES

Many designers rely on decorative trim to accent the leading edge of draperies, but it also works its magic when used as an inset border, adding a graphic element to the fabric panel. Thibaut’s Cobble Hill tape makes a bold pattern-on-pattern statement when paired with a traditional toile.

“Think about cabinet and countertop choices before finalizing tile. In design, you want everything to be cohesive. There are so many choices with tile, so it is easier to find a tile to complement your cabinet and countertop than the other way around.”

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD: Porcelain stone looks are evolving constantly. Technology can now give porcelain stone a satin finish with textured veining. It’s exciting to see how far tile has come.

EXCITED ABOUT: A century later, the 1920s are still influencing tile design. We love dynamic black and white pairings, unique patterns and using rich earth tones with bright colors.

FRESH IDEAS: Balance your design. If you have a bold floor tile, keep the walls neutral, or vice versa. Being mindful about your finishes will help your space feel fresh.

“Our biggest design secret is listening to our clients and what they want from us as designers. Every project is unique and requires more than a sophisticated eye for design. We believe that fantastic design should be based on the clients—who they are and how they aspire to live.”

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD: 2020 was a stark reminder for all of us about the importance of feeling comfortable in our homes. 2021 offers a renewed interest in design, functionality and quality. This year will push all of us to create innovative ways to help our clients reach their goals and aspirations.

FRESH IDEAS: For us at Forsey’s, an allimportant design element is a touch of nature. The comfort and safety of home should never be overly confining. Natural elements such as the warmth of a solid wood dining table, or the light and airy qualities of plants and succulents, add richness to your design.

“You dream it, we do it. Our custom services include everything from modifying existing designs in size, scale, shape, materials and finish to designing, engineering and fabricating completely custom lights from scratch.”

Ask the Expert WHAT’S AHEAD: Technology is critical to getting custom lighting right. We build every custom fixture at least twice: once in SolidWorks and once in fabrication. We focus as much on fixture performance as aesthetics, and technology helps us deliver custom projects in weeks, not months. We’re always excited to see new technology developments.

EXCITED ABOUT: Innovations in powder coating technology have revolutionized the customization potential for finishes, not only in color but also in gloss, opacity, character and durability. Choose any color, any level of sheen or opacity, or a high-performance powder coat that can withstand heavy UV and salt spray climates.

FRESH IDEAS: Ditch the bulb. Many of our blown and cast glass designs are illuminated with integrated LED, so the decorative glass shade serves as the source of illumination without the functional distraction of a filament bulb.

A hilltop site may seem like the perfect spot to have a house, but steep slopes and dramatic drop-offs are hardly ideal conditions for livable landscapes and glorious gardens. Case in point: this ‘80s Orem home, which backs onto a ravine with the Provo River flowing below. During the home’s recent renovation, architectural designer Steve Tiek asked landscape designer Ryan Talbot to give the timeworn half-acre property an overhaul that would complement and enhance the masterful remodel Tiek and designer Ali Henrie created for the dwelling. Talbot, principal of Northland Design Group, was eager to dig in. “At first glance, the challenge was typical—beautify and update,” he recalls. “Just as I was getting comfortable, the clients showed me the backyard and pointed to an unused, very steep 20-foot drop-off and said, ‘We want to use this space as a garden and for more gatherings.’ That’s when the challenge turned from typical to insane.” In addition to this formidable 60% slope behind the house, the entire property presented obsolete plantings and hardscape features that also required a major revamp. Tiek, principal of Tiek Design Group, transformed the home by giving the original ‘80s brick house an updated European look and feel. Working with Henrie and contractor Carl Robison, he filled the bricks’ deep pointing and painted the semi-smoothed facade a light cream hue that boldly contrasts with its dark shingled roof. Tiek also opened the entry by cutting back its oppressively low roofline and inserted an overhead pergola to heighten and brighten the space. New doors, windows, lanterns, garage doors and other striking features team to update the dwelling. The lackluster landscape demanded similar attention. “The original front yard was nothing to write home about,” recalls Talbot, who used Tiek’s preliminary drawings and the house’s fresh European style as a starting point for his design. “A French country style usually translates to a more organized design, more symmetry and a greater sense of age,” he explains. To that end, Talbot extended

TOP: Talbot designed a large deck to float over the landscape and capture views of the gardens, river and mountains beyond. “It is an extension of the architecture that brings you out into the landscape,” he explains. The raised deck also allowed Talbot to preserve the natural grade and the plant life below it.

A bronze statue of a child frolics in a rose and perennial garden accessed from a boxwood-bordered walk leading from the lower patio. The terraced gardens also include a vegetable bed, another must-have for the owners. “Raised gardens make it easier to tend to the plants because you can access them without kneeling down,” Talbot says.

“With a property that has all of these walls, you want to create places for your eyes to rest,” Talbot says. He chose a limited palette of materials that prevents the landscape from appearing overwhelming and incorporated open lawn areas where the eye can settle.

Lantern-topped posts, potted topiaries and a wide, garden-bordered walkway connecting the curb to the front entrance accomplish the same. But that’s where the symmetry ends. “Except for the entry, the house is very asymmetrical,” Talbot explains. He embraced this imbalance, renewing the driveways on the right side of the front yard with paver-bordered, sandscaped concrete while installing an informal path of crushed granite left of the centered entry. This freeform walkway leads to the side yard, where an eye-catching, lantern-lit gate

“As we get closer to the home, the lines of the design relate more to the architecture. Away from the house, we bring in some curves and angles that better relate to the landscape,” Talbot explains. A freeform, crushed-granite trail leads from the formal entry wall to the side yard’s hand-crafted gate. “The granite has a nice, soft look that relates well to the plantings and landscape,” Talbot explains. Architectural Designer Steve Tiek added French doors to the family room and narrowed the upper deck beyond them, allowing river and garden views to enter the interior space. He broadened the deck areas outside of the kitchen and master bedroom to create spacious outdoor living areas. Strategically placed potted topiaries complement the entry’s more formal, symmetrical design. “The dry-stack stone walls were inspired by walls I saw while in England,” says Talbot.

“We gave the owners back their backyard,” says Talbot, who placed a secluded patio near the river at the bottom corner of the renewed property. A curved stacked-stone wall features a built-in bench that wraps around one side of the raised firepit. Beneath the nearby deck, the designer created a children’s play area replete with a sandbox and spigot. “It feels like a second backyard down here,” he says.

performs as a welcoming portal to the dramatically transformed yard behind the home. “Usability drove the design,” explains Talbot, who created an impressive stone stairway that leads from the gate to a crushedgranite path below. “Unfortunately, side yards are often overlooked, but they provide the opportunity to continue telling the design’s story,” he says. The granite path connects to a broad lower patio that opens to the reimagined landscape below. There, Talbot removed overgrown junipers covering the “massive hill” and worked with the land’s steep contours as he manipulated its grade for planted terraces, waist-high retaining walls and the base for a limestone stairway, all crafted from dry-stacked ledge stone topped with a stone cap. “Unlike bulky, busy-looking boulder walls, these are more space efficient and have a more aged,

European look and feel,” he explains. The spectacular ledge stone hardscape enabled Talbot to create features and outdoor living areas the homeowners craved: a raised vegetable garden, confined lawns, a children’s play area, a rose and perennial garden, a raised deck that floats over the views and a meandering stone stairway that descends from one level of the yard to the next. It ends at a lower patio anchored by a raised firepit and surrounded by the sights and sounds of the nearby river. Taking an enormous challenge in stride, Talbot aimed to “take advantage of the hill,” transforming the once useless slope to a lush and livable extension of the home. On all levels, the homeowners relish and use this and every part of their formerly lackluster yard.

Designer Danielle Hickman helps a Utah couple turn their outdated beach bungalow into the vacation home of their dreams. BY BRAD MEE

PHOTOS BY REBEKAH WESTOVER

A short walkway passes leafy palms, fragrant jasmine and climbing roses as it leads to the trellis-shaded porch of a small bungalow. A partially open Dutch door offers a glimpse of the delight that awaits inside. There, an open interior welcomes with light-filled spaces, a chic, comfortable décor and a wall of windows overlooking a sun-soaked patio. In a word, bliss. This California vacation home was not always so charming. When its Salt Lake City-based owners acquired the 1951 bungalow previously belonging to one of the duo’s grandparents,

they envisioned a relaxed, modern summer home where they could escape to Newport Beach’s Balboa Island. What they purchased was a cramped and outdated house in need of an overhaul. “It had good features including beamed vaulted ceilings, a fireplace and the potential to be open and airy,” says designer Danielle Hickman, the mastermind behind the bungalow’s remodel. The scope of the project belied the modest size of the 1,400-square-foot beach house. “This was a big job that required a complete gut remodel and was done with a top-to-tail update,” says Hickman, who incorporated

Danielle Hickman, principal of Domichel Hickman Design Studio, gutted the interior to make it look and feel more spacious. She painted it a fresh white, lowered the kitchen’s breakfast bar and new upper cabinets, enlarged the opening between the kitchen and dining space and eliminated part of the original brick fireplace that intruded on the dining area. Updated skylights illuminate new white-oak floors that foster a sense openness and continuity inside the home.

many local products and vendors in the project. “I wanted to support Utah’s community and economy,” she says. Hickman began by opening the main living and kitchen spaces, creating an open-concept plan that made the home’s primary gathering area feel much larger. The designer also reconfigured a sprawling brick fireplace and eliminated bulky built-in storage units that gobbled space as they separated the living area from the sleeping quarters. Today, a strategically placed armoire and potted plant provide the needed barrier. “The built-ins were unnecessary because vacation homes don’t need tons of storage,” Hickman explains.

Opening and reworking the interior weren’t the designer’s only space-making tactics. She also created a fresh white backdrop to make the interior feel roomier and more open. “I used a single shade of white for all the walls, ceilings, base, case and doors,” Hickman says. The pristine palette continued with light quartzite countertops, white cabinets and understated light fixtures that allow the designer’s accent colors and pattern to prevail. “The white backdrop set us up for moments of big pops,” she says. Among these are a bedroom’s jungle-themed wall mural, the dining area’s wall-mounted marlin, a bathroom’s green tiles and a mix of framed art, live plants and select

The interior’s white backdrop provides a blank canvas for colorful pieces of art and furniture that Hickman strategically placed inside the home. “The contrast gives the eye a place to rest,” she says.

WHITE HOUSE BRIEFING Hickman creates a palette of white to deliver big style and size to the small beach bungalow. “California dreaming is light, bright and airy,” says designer Danielle Hickman, who created this ambiance by painting the interior’s walls, ceilings and doors with a single color of white. “To make something this small feel big, it’s best to stick to one color throughout.” She added predominantly white furnishings to help make the rooms and patio feel more open and to foster the home’s “California style.” White accents—lighting to pottery, sinks to stone and tile—continue Hickman’s white-is-right palette. “The more consistent and minimal you are with your finishes, the bigger your space feels,” she explains.

furniture pieces placed throughout. A strong link to the outdoors also expands the bungalow’s living space. Hickman fostered this connection by elevating the style and livability of the main patio, incorporating live plants inside the home and assuring that the natural light and views flowing through large windows remain unobstructed. Chic Dutch doors—located at both the front and back entrances—also connect the house to the California climate and gardens. Their cool-factor is practical, as well. “There is no air conditioning in this and many of the island’s homes, so we needed to be able to

leave doors open to cool the interior.” With their upper halves open, the doors welcome breezes and neighbors who frequently drop in for a friendly visit. “This wasn’t just about designing a home, it was about creating a lifestyle,” Hickman explains. As her clients cruise around town in their vintage pink convertible, pedal cruisers to the beach or simply kick back in their new digs, they relish their time at the reimagined home so much, they plan to expand their visits far beyond summer vacations. The bungalow is now their California dream come true.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: A Dutch door welcomes guests into the home. To foster the home’s chic style, Hickman painted it black and adorned it with brass hardware. Hickman placed an assortment of mirrors throughout the interior to add shapely accents while expanding the visual space with reflected light. “I loved choosing art and accessories that I wouldn’t normally use in Utah,” says Hickman, who selected seashells and cacti for the décor, as well as pink accents for the girls’ bedroom. The white-on-white decorating that creates the interior’s chic, casual style continues on the patio, where a clean-lined table and chairs invites the homeowners to dine and entertain outdoors.

“It can be a little daring to do so much white, but my clients were committed to the palette,” says Hickman, who anchored the patio with a woven daybed piled with white cushions. Original terra cotta tiles ground the space.

A talented team transformed the decades-old red-brick residence into a classic European-style home surrounded by mature trees and a reimagined landscape. Today, a curving bluestone walk leads to the painted-brick home defined by a cedar-shingled roof, squaredoff windows, exterior shutters and limestone accents. Landscape design by Tuck Landscape.

BELOW: A charming reading area occupies a nook beneath the entry’s new, squared-off staircase customized with iron balusters and surprisingly rounded newels. White oak floors warm the entry space, and their chevron pattern adds movement and fosters a relaxed ambiance.

“The minute we saw the tennis court, we were sold,” Coco Petersen says. She and her husband Ryan were hunting for a new family home in Holladay when they came upon the large, tree-shaded property. “Before committing, we thought we should probably look at the house too,” Coco adds with a laugh. What they discovered was a traditional, 30-year-old residence defined by a red-brick exterior, arched windows, a grand “Gone-with-the-Wind” entry, a segmented floor plan and an outdated décor. Beneath it all, the couple recognized the house’s “good bones” and pondered its potential to become a forever home for their large, active family. “We loved the lot but wondered how to make this house work for us,” Ryan recalls. The couple recruited designer Anne-Marie Barton to evaluate the estate and assess its possibilities.

“The property did the talking,” says Barton, referencing the creekside site, its mature trees and must-have tennis court. “It was a done deal.” The designer also discerned promise in the house—its steeply pitched rooflines, gracious ceiling heights and sprawling main level. “I was asked to discuss a partial redo, but that quickly grew into a complete remodel including both the interior and exterior,” she explains. Collaborating closely with the Petersens, Barton and her associate Wendy Smith teamed with contractor Jackson & LeRoy and Highland Group Architecture to reimagine and renew the family home.

mullions and limestone accents convey a fresh, European flavor that’s both welcoming and timeless. The house retained a stately presence, but any sense of formality ends at the entry’s white-oak French doors. Beyond the threshold, an open, light-filled interior draws visitors into family-friendly spaces brimming with clean-lined, casual charm. “The overall design signals traditional, but the modern nature of the elements and their execution creates a fresh, traditional style that’s informal and intimate,” Barton explains. The Petersens savor Barton’s attention to detail—a rubbed brass door handle here, a masterfully curated art wall there—as well as her rejection of all things fussy or fancy. “We’re a large and messy crew that lives casually and comfortably,” Coco explains. Barton embraced the family’s relaxed lifestyle and simplestyle preferences while elevating the home’s look and livability at every turn. Beautiful white-oak floors, for example, suit the active household. “Their light natural tone and wire-brushed finish is perfect for kids and pets,” the designer says. Open marble shelves provide big style and easy-to-reach storage in the kitchen, a plush sectional delivers informal seating to the inviting living room and a small breakfast table offers a secondary spot to dine in the keeping room. A newly opened floor plan similarly serves the Petersen clan. “The original floor plan was very traditional in nature with many smaller, broken-up spaces,” recalls Jeremy Jackson, principal of Jackson & LeRoy. The team opened the main-level spaces, allowing the living, dining, kitchen and keeping room areas to flow freely into each other. “We needed to create a family communal environment,” explains Barton, who designed a stunning kitchen to anchor the open spaces. “This new central kitchen is now the heart of the home,” Jackson says. Memorable features make the space as practical as it is pretty: handsome

double islands supply work space and ease traffic flow, beautifully painted cabinetry melds integrated appliances with a built-in hutch and buffet and a large quartzite slab backs a custom range hood. “The all-brass hood was a must,” Barton says. “Its shape is modern, but the material is more traditional.” Barton also added architectural details and layered engaging materials to help ground the light and airy spaces with a sense of history and substance. These range from paneled walls and built-in bookcases, to chamfered beams, natural brass hardware and a limestone mantle—all choreographed to deliver scale, dimension and a feel of polish to the décor.

The renewed landscape, with its lush plantings and relaxed paths, complements the remodeled home’s traditional style.

A feather-light palette delivers accents of color that move freely from space to space without detracting from the interior’s sense of calm. Cool blues and greens in the entry, for example, harmonize with sunny gold-and-fawn-toned draperies and pillows in the keeping room. Upstairs, chalky pinks and warm creams charm a girl’s chirpy bedroom. “I knew this house wouldn’t be a sanctuary environment,” Barton says. “There would be soccer equipment and busy living here, so I added color.” Walls painted cream with a hint of gray bring it all together. “The color is both cool and warm,” the designer says. Reflecting on the home now, Coco exclaims, “We couldn’t be more thrilled. This is our forever home.” Splendid grounds, a welcoming house and lovely, open living spaces that allow the active family to flourish: this is long-term perfection. “I am not leaving this place; you’ll have to cart me out,” Ryan says. Okay, but in the meantime, who’s up for a game of tennis?

MODERN times In Olympus Cove, Ron Godwin creates a modern-day family home inspired by the property’s original mid-century dwelling. BY BRAD MEE PHOTOS BY KYLE AIKEN

In Olympus Cove, a wall of breeze blocks encloses a courtyard that fronts the new family home designed by architect/ designer Ron Godwin and built by DFS Construction. Pulling inspiration from the property’s original 1958 house by architect Ed Dreier, Godwin fashioned the two-story entry with vertical windows, an exaggerated paneled door and a wall built with stone salvaged from the ‘50s dwelling.

Architect and designer Ron Godwin’s task was both challenging and inspired: to update and expand an outmoded 1958 mid-century home by famed architect Ed Dreier while retaining its flavor, satisfying current building codes and meeting the functional needs and wants of an active young family. “My clients wanted to bring the house into the 21st century, while adding a second level that captured amazing views and provided more living space,” he explains. To accomplish these goals while ensuring a structurally sound and livable dwelling, Godwin was unable to salvage little more than its original terrazzo floor and the decorative stone that dressed portions of the 70-year-old structure. Doggedly, he also preserved the home’s appeal. “We made every effort to keep the spirit of the original design intact,” he says. The architecture—which celebrates mid-century modern’s signature shapes, organic materials and a connection to the outdoors—also showcases Godwin’s updated takes on Dreier design elements. Large continuous windows, strong vertical forms and lightfilled spaces top the list. While inspired by the past, Godwin’s design is created for today’s living. “I didn’t restore an Ed Dreier home; I brought it into the future for a young, modern family,” he explains. Classic mid-century character and modern-day living drove Godwin’s design from the get-go, animating everything from its architectural forms to the finishes, furnishings and fabrics he featured throughout. To begin, there is the striking front facade that welcomes visitors with a broad walk of garden-inset pavers leading to a two-story entry. The architect crowned it with a butterfly roof atop walls of windows, a vertically exaggerated paneled door and an offset wall built with stone rescued from the original dwelling. To create the illusion of a front courtyard, Godwin formed a separate wall of lively patterned breeze blocks enclosing raised planters. Like Dreier, Godwin considers each and every elevation crucial, as evidenced by architectonic forms that define the highly dimensional dwelling on every side. In the backyard, for example, a large pool reflects three

Godwin clad the living room’s fireplace wall with ribbed white oak and designed a streamlined surround of stone and repurposed marble from the original house. His custom cocktail table was fabricated by Bradshaw Design and European Marble & Granite. It rests on a thick shag rug that fosters mid-century style and is flanked by Hickory Chair sofas piped with yellow leather. Godwin tailored the draperies in a lux textile by JAB Anstoetz. A boldly patterned, see-through railing serves the nearby staircase. Art is from A Gallery, and the rug is from Regency Royale.

commanding monoliths anchoring the structure’s artful interplay of flat and sloped roofs, vertically stacked windows and beams, and broad decks, patios and planters extending outward from the house. “The monoliths were established by Dreier originally, but I gave them a travertine look instead,” Godwin says. The architect’s fresh spin on mid-century design continues inside, where light-filled rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and a strong relationship to the outdoors flourish. A neutral palette unifies open spaces that flow seamlessly into each other, punctuated with upbeat colors, natural materials and lux textures. Where shag carpeting once dominated the interior, slate and wood flooring now ground white-walled rooms enlivened with leather, mohair, velvet and performance fabrics in exuberant hues ranging from admiral blue and lime to tangerine, turquoise and citron. “This is a young family and they like vibrant things,” Godwin explains. Period furnishings and striking light fixtures add sculptural forms that similarly animate the home and enthusiastically nod to its mid-century roots.

The interior is rife with lively gestures. In the entry, located between a step-up living room and a sequence of opens spaces including the dining, kitchen and family room areas, Godwin fashioned mod seethrough panels that serve not only as stair railings and a floor-to-ceiling screen, but also as functional art. “I wanted something spectacular for this main stairway,” he says. Mission accomplished. Memorable design statements continue in the dining room where a dazzling starburst chandelier hovers above a bronze-based table, in the kitchen where ribbed profiles detail white oak cabinets and in the breakfast room where white stone shelves float across a fireplace clad in metallic brick. The thrills continue beyond the main level. Upstairs, a master suite features a sculpture-like fireplace wall integrated into a tile-clad monolith that extends from the living room below. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame it on both sides, and stained ipe wood accentuates the sloped ceiling above. “It’s another

reference to mid-century,” Godwin explains.

drove much of this dwelling’s dynamic design.

For his clients, that’s a large part of why they’re delighted to call this inspired house their home.

The charming feature speaks volumes about the character of the couple’s newly built house, as well as the family’s lifestyle and their love of home. As the principal of Brandon Bodell Construction, Brandon makes a living by building dream homes for select clients in northern Utah. To create the same for his own family, he and Robin purchased a dilapidated 1800s house on land that borders a horse property in

Draper. While the dwelling was derelict, its site was heaven-sent for Robin. She’d grown up on an Idaho ranch and dreamt of one day riding her own horse in a pasture only a stone’s throw away from her family home. This property provided exactly that, so the Bodells removed the ramshackle house, making way for their new residence. Brandon and Robin created a long list of the features they wanted in the house and had preliminary architectural drawings created to include them. The drafts were disappointing, but the couple couldn’t identify why. They turned to architect Bradford Houston for help.

“I told him 200 things we wanted in the house and explained that, while these plans have them all, they just don’t work,” Brandon recalls. Houston placed tracing paper over the drawings and began sketching, lightly tweaking the floor plan and fully reworking the exterior to bring forth coveted character. “The original drawings had all of the requested components, but the soul of the house was missing,” explains Houston, whose versions rejected many of the couple’s must-haves. The transformative tracings transfixed Brandon. “The best thing an architect can tell you is ‘no, it’s not good for the house,’” he says. Houston looked to the pasture-sided property, mountain views and Draper’s rural past for architectural inspiration. “When I saw the property for the first time and I realized it sat facing a horse paddock, the style of the home just seemed to

reveal itself,” says Houston, envisioning a traditional farmhouse. Robin’s love of horses and a childhood spent on a farm reinforced his concept. Dismissing thoughts of a modern farmhouse, Houston looked to historic precedence for guidance, including ideas derived from an old home in Park City. It was characterized by clapboard siding, an off-center entry, a forward gable and a picket fence. “While it isn’t a farmhouse, it presented the sense of homeyness and nostalgia we wanted to create,” says Houston, a self-proclaimed classicist with a preference for traditional styles. Houston researched and conceived the new home’s exterior before addressing the final floor plans. “I spend a lot of time initially determining what the clients want the home to look and feel like, so there is consistency inside and out,” he says. Reject-

ing formal symmetry and materials at odds with a traditional farmhouse, Houston devised an asymmetric dwelling with a tucked-in, offcenter entry, clapboard siding and broken-up structural massing that suggests an attached barn that serves as a garage. Exacting the same level of authenticity and detail inside the home, Houston worked with the Bodells and interior designer Christie Lewis to create living spaces that look and feel consistent with the exterior’s style and materiality. In the handsomely paneled entry, for example, Houston rejected the owners’ idea of an exposed brick wall, explaining that while brick would appear authentic on a fireplace, using it to form an interior wall inside a wood structure would look out of place. For the same reason, he favored simple butt-jointed planking rather than a refined tongue-and-groove

ABOVE: Pine slats and exposed rafters dress the master bedroom with immeasurable charm. A herringbone pattern draws the eye to the brick-detailed fireplace framed by built-in window seats. “I wanted this space to be traditional, but not formal,” says Lewis, who chose a tufted upholstered bed, cozy swivel chairs, mixed pillows and an elegant tiered chandelier to furnish the spacious room. RIGHT: Brass mirrors, brass-andlucite sconces and unlacquered brass plumbing fixtures and hardware deliver elegance and timeless beauty to the bathroom. OPPOSITE: Honed Calacatta marble, brass accents and a sleek freestanding tub team with wood-planked surfaces and handpainted floor tiles to create the master bathroom’s sophisticated farmhouse style. A neutral palette of creams and whites helps establish the light, tranquil décor.

OPPOSITE (CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT): As featured in the powder room, Brandon incorporated charming push-button switches throughout the home to add another layer of vintage charm. Houston devised a row of windows to fill the upper hall with light and mountain views. Below, built-in cabinets store Robin’s books. The lanterns are from Visual Comfort. The mudroom’s built-in cabinetry includes a doggie pen replete with a small door that opens to the yard. Large cubbies hold baskets that serve the room’s laundry area. The hardware is from Rejuvenation. A simple handrail and exposed ends of oak treads and risers foster the home’s farmhouse style. Brandon cleverly transitioned the lower staircase’s stacked wall planks to vertical versions as they reach the upper level.

design for the wall and ceiling treatments. Houston’s discerning eye considered everything from proper door and ceiling heights to the ideal material flow to unique details including exposed rafters, transoms and gas lantern lighting. Lewis curated the interior’s decorative elements with similar scrutiny. “A lot of thought went into creating a traditional farmhouse feel,” says Lewis, who worked closely with the Bodells to foster a feeling of integrity and comfort. Brandon’s masterful carpentry and construction created the ideal stage for the design. In the kitchen, for example, a fumed white-oak ceiling and a backsplash dressed in handmade Tabarka tile creates a compelling backdrop for a plastered hood, mixed painted and exposed grain finishes and flickering Bevolo gas lanterns. In the adjoining living room, anchored by a brick-trimmed, planked fireplace wall, Lewis paired a slipcovered linen sofa with cognac leather chairs and mixed contrasting fabrics and patterns to pro-

mote an informal, collected décor. Lewis also chose a grounding blue paint for the handsomely trimmed mudroom and laundry. “The color not only adds personality, but it also complements the charming brick floors,” she says. The designer draped Thibaut fabric beneath the mudroom’s sink and repeated its pattern on the powder room’s walls for continuity. Other elements of note include the dining room’s custom hutch crafted by Benjamin Blackwelder, the spacious master bedroom’s pillow-laden window seats framing a soaring fireplace, and the master bathroom’s exposed rafter ceiling, planked walls and handmade tile floor. In the end, the Bodells built the dream home they always wanted but hadn’t completely envisioned at the start. “We didn’t say we wanted a farmhouse; we said we wanted a family house,” Brandon recalls. By working closely with their talented team, Brandon and Robin created exactly that both for themselves and their four kids.

IN GOOD TASTE

Short & Sweet Crumbling under a pile of juicy strawberries and lightly sweetened whipped cream, easy-to-make shortcakes serve up a delicious taste of spring. BY M A RY BROW N M ALOU F

Early-season strawberries are now in, so naturally it’s time to make shortcake. Forget about those storebought pucks of sponge cake and make the real deal. You’ll be glad you did. Similar to a biscuit but even better, a great shortcake can make springtime’s berry crop even more delicious.

CLASSIC STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE Slice strawberries and sprinkle with sugar. Let sit several hours. Add a touch of balsamic vinegar to enrich the flavor of early-season berries, spoon between shortcake layers and again on top. Finish with whipped cream.

U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 1

BEYOND-THE-BERRY TOPPINGS Easy, buttery shortcake plays one of a plate’s best supporting roles—whether its topping is sweet or savory, shortcake soaks up the juices and amplifies the flavor.

EASY-AS-PIE

SHORTCAKE RECIPE 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder ¾ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 2 tablespoons butter, cut in chunks 2 tablespoons shortening, chilled ¾ cup half and half Place flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor. Pulse a few seconds until mixed. Add butter and shortening and pulse until mixture looks like cornmeal. Dump it in a mixing bowl and stir in the cream until a ball forms. Pat it out 1/2” thick and cut with large biscuit cutter, or drop by large spoonfuls onto greased baking sheet, then pat into shape. Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.

What do you mean, “short”? There’s a reason it’s called shortcake. A “short” dough is one that is crumbly or mealy. It’s the opposite of a “long” dough, meaning flaky, like good pie crust. Both depend on solid fat, i.e. shortening or butter, and technique makes the difference. For a short dough, you cut the fat into the flour until it has a cornmeal-like texture. For a long dough, you leave the butter lumps as large as peas.

Cook chopped onions slowly in butter and olive oil until caramelized. Add quartered mushrooms and cook until tender. Deglaze with a little balsamic vinegar and season with crushed rosemary.

Sauté pineapple chunks in butter with brown sugar until fruit is tender. Add a dash of vanilla and a shot of dark rum if you like. Serve on shortcake and garnish with toasted coconut.

TIPS: Never overwork the dough. Don’t knead it. It’s best to drop it on the baking sheet by spoonfuls, then coax it gently into shape. •••••••••••••

Wait until shortcake is cool before splitting it. Otherwise, it’s apt to crumble. •••••••••••••

Use two forks to split a shortbread instead of a knife. •••••••••••••

Let your imagination run wild with toppings—the only requirement is that your toppings have enough juice for the shortbread to soak up. •••••••••••••

Serve immediately after topping.

Sauté roughly chopped red and yellow peppers, sliced zucchini and yellow squash, tomatoes and your choice of herbs until vegetables are tender. Serve over shortcake and sprinkle with shredded Parmesan (or not).
