Do the Do Is there any season as pushy as spring? Like an alarm clock, it jolts us from winter’s state of serenity and slumber, propelling us into a world of activity. Look around. It feels like everyone is renewing, remodeling or refreshing. We’re here for it. This issue celebrates the desire to do, and there’s inspiration everywhere. Whether it’s on fashion runways or in high-style rooms, springtime flirts with a little more leg, brighter colors and lots of attitude. This issue’s cover captures this fun-loving spirit, as designer Cara Fox and her fashionista client Emily Jackson strike a pose. Jackson’s Alpine home is a statement of calming classic style punctuated with the theatrics of dazzling Gracie and Gucci wallcoverings, checkered marble floors, breathtaking window walls and a mix of blue tones threaded throughout (page 98). “Of course, we had to add some dramatic moments,” Fox explains.

Designer Jessica Bennett’s response to a client’s “no-gold” directive is equally enthralling. Cool metals and icy finishes gleam throughout the renewed decor (page 84). “I see the nickel, silvered and chrome finishes in an edited, chic way,” Bennett says. And she delivers. So does Brit designer Sophie Robinson, whose delightful new collection of exuberant fabrics and wallpapers was influenced by her English garden and love of color (page 29). Fair warning: It’s practically impossible not to smile when you see it. The same goes for Katherine Chandler and Jeffrey Sherlock’s new modern home, where the Golden Gate Bridge and a Moroccan house inspired bright red doors and vibrant Majorelle blue cabinets (page 128). “I’m obsessed with bright colors,” Katherine confesses. Similarly compelling are three featured remodels: Designer Andrea West turns a dark and dated kitchen on its head, making it a light-filled, function-forward space teeming with style—and ideas to steal (page 70). Designer John Eyring generously nods to many of Utah’s talented craftspeople as they help him transform a tired Bountiful residence into an elegant home dressed with classic charm and contemporary allure (page 118). And beneath the shadow of Mt. Olympus in SLC, designer Doug Smith leads the meticulous restoration of a historically significant and strikingly modern home designed by renowned Utah architect John Sugden (page 108). We created this issue to inspire and possibly prompt a boost of your own spaces, whether through a little finessing or a complete overhaul. Now it’s your turn. Spring has arrived and it’s time to do.

SPRING FLING We’ve all flirted with color, but British designer Sophie Robinson suggests a passionate fling. And while you’re at it, pull pattern into the love fest. Collaborating with Harlequin, Robinson has created an exuberant, fantasy-filled fabric and wallpaper collection, fueled by her unbridled love for color and inspired by her own woodland garden. With this collection, Robinson presents a masterclass of fearless pattern mixing, with diversely scaled designs ranging from the fantastical to the abstract, joined by geometrics that help fashion the visual harmony every space deserves.

THERE ARE MANY reasons you might offer your guests nonalcoholic (NA) beverage choices at your springtime get-togethers, but that doesn’t mean they can’t indulge in a glass of something special to match the occasion. Put down the Martinelli’s and Shirley Temples and, instead, consider alcohol-free wine as an elevated alternative for non-imbibers. Created by people who know and love wine, non-alcoholic vino embraces full-bodied flavor without the buzz. “It’s a compelling product that checks a lot of boxes for Utahns,” says Tracey Thompson, President and CEO of wine brokerage/ non-alcoholic distributor VineLore. After scouring the market for non-and- low-alcoholic wine options since 2012, Thompson noticed a boom in the industry after 2020. Perhaps it’s the result of a post-pandemic reality where many imbibers are reeling in any overindulgent habits formed during isolation. Other studies have found it’s the new generation of sober-curious individuals that drive the trend (a 2020 study by Berenberg Research found Gen-Z drinks 20% less than millennials). Whatever the driver, leading wine producers are taking their cue from the growing demand for NA options and now offer dealcoholized pinot noirs and sauvignon blancs. And for those who prefer zero residual alcohol, companies like Zilch have created bubbly grape beverages that never undergo fermentation. “There’s a lot of innovation in this market,” Thompson remarks. So go ahead, serve those NA bubbles during cocktail hour and follow with chardonnay during dinner. Guests will appreciate the options and will be comfortable sipping and savoring throughout the evening.

Three under-the-radar Italian retreats

As vacation getaways go, Italy is hard to beat. But the country is more than Rome, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast. Dreamy destinations, of course, but they’re hardly undiscovered. As the masses flock to Italy’s better-known holiday spots, do as I did last fall and escape to less touristy and off-the-beaten-path places for your next vacation. Here are three favorites I discovered along the way.

PHOTO BY DON SK YPECK

LAKE MAGGIORE Less celebrated than nearby Como, Lake Maggiore is a paradise of crystal-clear water and garden islands backed by towering mountains and breath-taking landscapes It’s an unseasonably warm October morning, and I’m perched on our room’s Juliet balcony fronting the esteemed Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees in charming, lakefront Stresa. Looking over a tree-lined promenade, I gaze over Lake Maggiore. Its rippling blue surface melds into a backdrop of towering, purplish peaks formed by the Alps. Isola Bella enthralls as it rises from the sparkling water like an elaborately embellished confection. The isle is almost completely covered by the Borromeo Palace, a Baroque residence and tiered gardens sculpted over the centuries. Located in the iconic Grand Hotel des Iles Borromees, the Hemingway British garden celeb Monte Don colorfully described the Bar in Stresa is named after the sight, saying “Its true public face screams across the lake, a famous writer who stayed there. tipsy drag queen of a garden ready to party.” Who can resist that? A short ferry ride later, my partner Don and I are soon strolling through the opulent residence and its perfectly coiffed giardini—a jaw-dropping interplay of formal terraces adorned with sculptures, fountains and choreographed plantings cascading to the lake. Our next boat stop is Villa Taranto, a parklike hillside garden on the lake’s western shore. There, expansive grounds teem with rare and exotic plants, towering conifers, fountains, terraces and pavilions. The beautiful gardens are arranged in thematic sections connected by ribbons of paths and walkways. Like the porcini risotto we enjoy at the venue’s cafe, Villa Taranto is meant to be savored slowly. We take our time and eventually board the ferry to return to Stresa, stopping along the way to visit the more informal gardens of Isola Madre. Showy peacocks strut across sun-dappled lawns surrounded by woods, lush greenery and flowering azaleas and rhododendrons. Rows of palm and citrus trees soak in the afternoon sun. Th at evening we dine in Stresa’s compact town center, crowded with people eating outdoors and strolling with gelato in hand. Over plates of pasta, we plan the next day’s lakeside drive to Locarno, Switzerland, above which we’ll hike in the Alps and be back to Stresa in time for a cocktail in our opulent hotel’s Hemingway Bar, named for its most famous and frequent patron.

STAY HERE In Stresa, an open-air restaurant overlooks Lake Maggiore.

With its elegant Belle Époque architecture and easy-going charm, Stresa boasts stunning views of Lake Maggiore and easy access to its Borromean Islands. The Swiss Alps are nearby and Stresa’s railway station makes the lake-front town a super starting point from which to explore the surrounding area.

PIEDMONT WINE COUNTRY Move over Chianti, Piedmont is a region rich with famous grapes, truffles and a tapestry of scenic destinations

Medieval towers overlooking Piazza Duomo in Alba.

“

“Piedmont, where every vineyard tells a story, every bottle is a poem, and every sip is a journey through rolling hills, truffle-scented air and the artistry of winemaking.” - Anonymous

Don’t Miss Alba, the small Langhe town once known as the City of a Hundred Towers, is at the epicenter of Italy’s truffle trade and boasts many Michelin-rated restaurants. Its vineyards are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, producing internationally famous Langhe wines including Barolo and Barbaresco.

Tagliatelle al Tartufo Nero, one of many dishes served during Piedmont’s truffle season.

My 6-foot-4-inch frame makes me an unlikely driver of the vintage Alpha Romeo convertible parked in front of our 18th-century hotel crowning the ancient hilltop town of Guarene. But in my imagination, those are the wheels we’ll be taking tomorrow as we explore southern Piedmont’s undulating wine country that flows and folds below our hilltop perch like the sweeping train of a Valentino gown. Instead, we drive out in our Lancia coupe headed for Alba, a market town where medieval towers cast shadows over lively piazzas and streets lined with boutiques, wine bars and sidewalk cafes. Th is is truffle season, and the earthy gem dominates menus, from gnocchi to gelato. We chose polenta, infused with truffle oil and topped with aromatic shavings. The dish teams with a robust red—we’re in the land of Barolo and Barbaresco, after all. Sated, we depart for a tasting at the nearby Ceretto Winery. It begins with a tour of the “Grape”—a transparent domed platform that serves as a tasting room, jutting out from the hillside like a bubble floating above the vineyards. Its futuristic architecture starkly contrasts our hotel Castello di Guarene—a lavishly decorated 18th-century palace constructed on the grounds of a medieval fortress overlooking the Langhe vineyards. We return in time for an evening stroll through the parterres and shapely topiaries of its terraced gardens, reflecting on today’s adventures and planning more of the same for the rest of our visit.

Chiesa di San Pietro overlooks the Ligurian Sea.

The Sentiero Azzurro, the Blue Path, connects Portovenere to Cinque Terre’s five famous villages.

PORTOVENERE

ITINERARY Accessible by boat or car, Portovenere is frequently visited in concert with nearby Cinque Terre villages, creating a remarkable coastal itinerary. There is a ferryboat service that departs or arrives hourly (almost, hey it’s Italy) to and from Portovenere to Cinque Terre.

44 U T A H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N | S P R I N G 2 0 2 4

The charming coastal town of Portovenere remains a hidden gem, offering a serenity that sets it apart from its more popular neighbors in Cinque Terre I sit on the fig-shaded terrace of our hillside villa overlooking Portovenere’s coin-sized piazza and quiet harbor. So this is what Italians mean when they say, “dolce far niente”—the joy of doing nothing. Not that there isn’t plenty to do. Th is morning, we wake to the rhythm of the village coming to life, fi shing boats motoring out to sea and pastry shop doors being thrown open. We walk into town and pass along the waterfront to reach San Pietro perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Ligurian coast of the Italian Riviera. Early morning bathes the Romanesque church in glorious light and awakens views of upcoming adventures that surround us. There’s nearby Palmaria Island, where we’ll trek trails while gazing at the sea and Bay of Poets, there are hidden coves and Byron’s Grotto that we’ll discover by small boat, and of course, the narrow cobblestone streets of Portovenere’s core where we’ll dine late into the evenings. One day we’ll lunch cliff side in Vernazza and then hike the famous footpath above Cinque Terre. Exhausted, we’ll return to our villa and watch the water turning from brilliant blue to deep purple as another glorious day ends.

The landscape inspired every aspect of the design of a Springdale home, overlooking Zion National Park. McQuay Architects fashioned roofl ines that reach out over the landscape and integrated expansive openings that connect the house to the land. In the dining room, large retractable glass doors meet dramatically at a floating corner, opening two adjacent walls to a large patio and views of Eagle Crags. Contractor: Markay Johnson Construction.

The primary bedroom of a ranch-style home in Kamas opens to a large deck and panoramic views, courtesy of bi-fold doors that fold back like a set of elegant wings. As the doors retreat, a gentle breeze carries nature’s fragrances into the room, creating a serene and inviting connection between the cozy interior and the mountain setting. Architect: Line 8 Design; Interior design: Ashley Amman Design; Builder: J.A. Preib Construction.

In a remodeled Park City home, a 12-foot-wide expanse of doors gracefully folds back to reveal a captivating tableau where the interior of the Old Town dwelling fi lls with mountain air and vistas. The doors effortlessly accordion, transforming the living space into a seamless extension of the deck reimagined with a cozy living area and an outdoor kitchen. Landscape architect and planner: Bockholt Landscape Architecture; Contractor: Papineau Builders.

As part of a dramatic remodel of a ‘70s rambler in Park City, an equally dramatic exterior wall seems to disappear as accordion-style doors fold open, blurring the lines of indoors and out. Beneath a cantilevered hood, a linear fi replace extends from inside the house to the outdoor deck. Architect: REA Architecture; Designer: Steve Stanton; Builder: Rametta & Co. Inc.

For a contemporary home perched in the foothills high above Salt Lake City, architect Pierre O. Langue created sliding doors of glass that span 24 feet to connect the main living area to a balcony. “It goes back to the connection with the city,” he says. “I wanted the boundary to virtually disappear.”

As architect Warren Lloyd Architects remodeled a Salt Lake City home, he enclosed one side of a new gallery space with a wall of folding doors that open to a courtyard. The broad opening connects the interior with a semi-enclosed ipe deck shaded by a retractable awning.

The opening seamlessly connects the spacious great room to a sprawling patio and an unobstructed view of Iron Mountain. Framed in unfinished steel, these doors double act as a bold statement, accentuating the design’s intersection of cuttingedge architecture and breathtaking natural beauty.

Bartile

hen it comes to adding pizzazz to your home, a roof may not be the first thing that comes to mind. Think again. A well-made roof is more than shelter, it adds value to your home. And a customized Bartile roof speaks volumes about who you are. “At Bartile, we custom craft each order according to designers’ or homeowners’ specific requests,” says Nick Evans, general manager. “We have more than 700 custom colors and 20 different styles and options, so we can literally create anything. The options are endless.” If you can imagine it, Bartile can create it.

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 I n s t a g r am @ bar tilero ofs

To add depth and dimension, opt for a multicolored roof. “We take different color batches of tiles and blend them into a really interesting and beautiful palette,” says Evans. “We can match clay roofs that have drastic color ranges, so you can create something beautiful, unique and durable—and more affordable.” Bartile has been perfecting the art of premium roof tiles in northern Utah for 82 years. “My grandfather started this business in 1942,” says Evans. “Some of the roofs we built that first year are still in place.”

NICK EVANS GENERAL MANAGER

“These roofs last a lifetime. The lifespan of a Bartile roof is four times longer than the best asphalt shingle on the market and our tiles far surpass a class-A fire rating and have a 75-year warranty. Some styles even have a class-4 hail rating. Our eco-friendly roofs last 75–100 years and, when it’s time to replace them, we can recycle every material.”

Ask the Expert WHAT ARE YOU BEST KNOWN FOR? Custom crafting every order. Every single order is made specifically for each client. Most of what we do is custom color and custom design, and we’re known across the nation for the unique and creative results.

WHAT IS YOUR SIGNATURE PRODUCT? Our New England slate is our best seller by far. With our metal gabled finish options, our tiles not only have a slate look, but when raked with a straight brush, they have a great shake look as well. We can help you create a wood shake or real slate look at a fraction of the cost and without the fire hazard or maintenance issues of wood or stone.

WHAT SETS YOUR WORK APART? No matter what look you’re trying to achieve, we can provide it. Whether you want a nice clean wood shake or slate, mission style or clay tile, bring in paint samples or pictures you love and we’ll make it for you.

Highland Group

f you are looking for the style you’ve always wanted created exclusively for you, your search is over. Highland Group is a full-service home design firm that specializes in the unique. “Everything I design is one-of-a-kind,” says Tim Furner, founder and principal. “I look at every project with fresh eyes. I take great pride in not having a style; everything is custom designed. No two families or homeowners are ever the same.” Tim Furner and Tim Wyatt (known as Tim & Tim) started Highland Group in 1986. Four years ago, Tim Wyatt passed away. Wyatt’s son Robert, along with the entire staff, works hard to fill the void. “We designed so many homes together that I often feel him still here with me,” says Furner.

Furner strives for enduring design. “The world is getting more modern,” says Furner. “But using natural materials and organizing elements that relate to the environment help keep it as timeless as possible.” Each project begins with a design/build team that includes a general contractor, interior designer and the owner—all collaborating together. “We do onsite visits from concept through build to refine the design and to make our clients' home all they have dreamt of,” he says. When you’re ready to design your dream home, bring a wish list and hopeful budget and let Furner and his team take it from there.

“I still do all my conceptual designs by hand. My brain doesn’t work unless I have a pencil in my hand. Once I finish the design, I’ll hand it off to my staff and we’ll build a full walk-through 3D model, but it all starts by hand. It’s a dying art."

Ask the Expert WHAT ARE COMMON MISTAKES HOMEOWNERS OFTEN MAKE? Not spending adequate time or money on the original design of the house. Rather than getting it right, they settle with “it’ll do.” They’ll slowly realize that if the design had been better thought out from the get-go, it would have been more functional.

WHAT'S A KEY PIECE OF DESIGN ADVICE? Don’t design the home for today’s needs only. You might be an empty nester soon or your kids might move back with grandkids. Try to think ahead to what spaces you may need in the future.

"With rising interest rates, people are choosing to reevaluate and redesign their current property. So instead of building or buying, people are creating new outdoor living spaces, installing pools or adding private entertaining areas. This requires expert design and planning to help maximize the space you have now.

Designer Andrea West transforms a cramped and dated kitchen into a stylish, hardworking hub BY BR A D M EE

| PHOTOS BY K AY L EE N M ICH EL L E

hen Lindsey and Peter Wynia decided to overhaul the kitchen of their traditional ’90s home in Spokane, they had big changes in mind. Creating more usable and enjoyable space was top among them. “The kitchen was too small for the grandeur of our home, and a lot of its area was eaten up by a little-used pantry,” Lindsey recalls. The cramped room was also dark, outdated and functionally flawed. Enter designer Andrea West, whose Instagram posts showcase many of her fi rm’s stunning projects, including a slew of inspiring kitchens. These images motivated Lindsey to reach out and hire the Utah-based pro, who worked remotely as she collaborated with the Wynias to transform their kitchen for the active family. “I was obsessed with her work’s transitional aesthetic,” recalls Lindsey.” I wanted to upgrade my traditional kitchen with a more modern vibe and to create a room that excites me to spend time there.” Here’s a look inside the reimagined room and a dozen savvy ways West delivered new life to the home’s old kitchen.

1. OPEN UP “We began by reworking the floorplan,” West explains. She removed an inefficient butler’s pantry, using its space to give the kitchen more livable area and to improve its traffic flow. West also removed a dropped tray ceiling that contributed to the kitchen’s cramped dimensions. A new floor-toceiling pantry provides plenty of space for storage.

2. PASS ON STARK WHITE Ditching the kitchen’s dark fi nishes and heavy features, West replaced old cupboards with custom cabinetry pairing Egret (a white paint with taupe undertones) with a light gray stain. “I didn’t want a traditional white kitchen, and I love a dramatic, two-tone design,” Lindsey says. West also swapped out dark granite and tile with milky white marble. Chantilly Lace paint freshens the walls. “It’s a crisp, yet warm white,” West says.

3. TEAM CURVES AND CORNERS Curved and rounded elements, from the island’s radius ends and vintage-style barstools to oversized pendant lights and arced shelf brackets, counter the room’s squared-off range hood, paneled cabinets and clean-lined edges. The curves not only add a sense of comfort and ease to the space, but also connect with the form of an arched niche original to the home.

4. THINK BIG “I’m all about a large island,” Lindsey says. West responded with a 12-foot-long island featuring a deep, 12-inch overhang that accommodates comfortable seating and four stools at the counter. The island includes Lindsey’s must-have prep sink and provides loads of storage in its base.

5. FINISH THE FLOORS While sanding the original wood floors, the team discovered they were too soft and unable to be properly stained. West replaced them with Luxury Plank Vinyl (LVP). It resembles real wood and provides the durability, waterproofed quality and easy care the busy family (and its two dogs) need. “Plus, the floor works seamlessly with the new design of the home,” the designer says.

6. LAYER LIGHTING “Accent lighting sets the tone of a space and makes it more cozy,” says West, who chooses sconces, pendants and even lamps to supplement overhead lighting in kitchens. “Th is layered lighting makes a room feel so different when the overheads are off.” A mix of fi nishes and forms adds to accent lighting’s decorative power, and their shades and diff users eliminate unwanted glare emanating from exposed bulbs.

7. DELIVER DRAMA Shots of black counter the room’s lighter tones. Dark accents include an Ilve range, gridded window frames, accent pieces, Roman shades and large Visual Comfort pendants. “I love the oversized pendants— they are so dramatic,” Lindsey says. West agrees. “They also deliver the scale the island deserves.”

“

Contrast is so dramatic and effective in the design —Andrea West of a room.”

8. EMBRACE MARBLE The homeowners craved real marble, so West selected Calacatta Vagli to complement the cabinet fi nishes. “It has a lot of warmth and character, but it doesn’t look like it is trying too hard,” West says. The elegant, milky white marble flows from the countertops to the backsplashes to achieve a seamless and timeless look.

9. INCLUDE OPEN SHELVES West exposed shelving on the ends of the island to off set its large scale while creating a place to store and display everyday items like bowls, platters and stacked dishes that are too big for upper shelves. Smaller shelves frame the window above the sink and artfully showcase easyto-reach glassware and a mix of eyecatching accessories.

10. GO FOR THE GOLD “Every space needs a little gold,” says West, who favors antiqued brass for the warmth and timeless look it gives a room. Th is kitchen’s hardware, lighting, plumbing and even the Ilve range trim deliver a mix of gold fi nishes. “Don’t duplicate them. You want a variety of unmatched tones,” the designer advises.

11. CANE YOUR CABINETS “Mixed materials make a room look more collected and lived in,” says West, who chose timeless cane panels to front upper cabinet doors. “A natural material, cane relaxes the space better than more formal glass and hides what is behind the door more effectively.”

12. ADD A DRINK STATION Located opposite the working side of the kitchen, a muchused drink station provides function while balancing out the design and drama of the main area. A diamond-pattern marble backsplash, open shelves, cane-front uppers and dark base cabinets with light-toned doors complement the design of the main kitchen without duplicating it. “We wanted it to have its own style,” West says.

SHELF LIFE

Andrea West’s tips for finessing the styling of open shelves Framed Art adds detail and personality. Consider still lifes and landscapes, but avoid family photos. Choose pieces that add interest without having to be studied. Books add character but only select cookbooks. Retain their jackets if they are nice, otherwise remove them. Stack and layer books for needed height or dimension. Functional items are ideal. Easy-to-reach everyday glassware and serving dishes are ideal for displays and access can ease your daily routine. Stow away the plastic and oddly colored pieces. Also avoid purely decorative items. Instead, choose cake stands, cutting boards, pitchers and other practical pieces for their unique character. Baskets and woven trays add an organic touch while being handy and useful when needed. Greenery, whether real or faux, is a must for every kitchen. Put the plants near natural light. Remember, placing faux greenery in dark corners makes it look obviously fake. Brackets for open shelves aren’t always needed for support, but they can be added as a decorative detail that nods to the past.

COOL METALS

Silver toned metals read confidently cool in a provocative decor recently imagined by Alice Lane Interiors. Creative Director Jessica Bennett welcomes us inside the home and shares the secrets to using cool metals here and in other chic interiors she and her team create. BY BRAD MEE | PHOTOS BY MICHELLE WHITE

ake a look at some of today’s most compelling interiors and you may notice an uptick in the appearance of cool-toned metals and finishes. Jessica Bennett and Suzanne Hall—celebrated designers and hosts of our fave podcast Dear Alice—recently responded to a client’s “no brass or gold” directive for her contemporary decor. They chose cool metallics to deliver style and sparkle that make the spaces really shine. We were instantly wowed, so we asked Bennett about these materials and finishes and to share the ways she and her team used them to elevate the style of this and other projects that are undeniably cool.

HIT THE HOOD “I always love a range hood in nickel,” says Bennett. “It feels more culinary, and I love the sheen of it against a paint grade or stain grade kitchen.” Here, a headturning hood makes a bold statement with its organic, polished nickel form cuffed in blackened nickel.

S P R I N G 2 0 2 4 | U TA H S T Y L E A N D D E S I G N

“We have been seeing the cool metal tones pop up and dominate the fashion industry for at least 3 years now, and we knew it would carry over into interiors,” says Bennett. Citing patent chrome purses by Coach, alien-like futuristic sunglass shapes and blades, all things Kardashian and even chrome-toned fingernails, she explains, “The coolest of the cool have been at it for years.” Cool metals have a clean, modern feel that can help drive retro or vintage modern style. “Think of all of the beautiful vintage Ralph Lauren cars, crystal chandeliers, silvered mirrors,” she exclaims. “And with no yellow or golden tones, they never really feel old.”

Jessica Bennett

MAKE AN IMPACT Bennett has a simple strategy for creating the biggest impact when layering eye-catching elements like cool metals into a space. “Start by layering them at eye level, “she advises. “You’ll get extra credit for them.” High-flying chandeliers, for example, may not instantly catch your attention, but lamps, table-top accessories and other mid-level additions make an immediate impression. In the home’s library, Bennett and her team used framed art, a swing-arm sconce and a nickel-and-lucite table base to place shots of shimmering cool metallics front and center.

MIX IT IN Yes, you can—and should—mix metals, contends Bennett. “Not leaning too hard in any one direction keeps the home feeling beautiful no matter the current trend,” she says. And for those not ready to commit to cool metals, Bennett advises easing in gradually. “Introduce them slowly. Once you start having an eye for it, you’ll be confident to do more.” These homeowners shunned brass and gold finishes, but the Alice Lane design team snuck in brass C tables and a gold-handled tray to counter—and complement—the living room’s sleek steelframed chair and ottoman and, across the room, an arced chrome floor lamp.

What’s the Dif? POLISHED NICKEL VS CHROME

Nickel and chrome are both resilient finishes and are created similarly, plated onto brass and polished to a shiny, smooth and mirror-like surface. The key difference is the temperature of their tones. Chrome is typically colder with a somewhat blueish tint, while polished nickel is warmer and reads slightly yellow. Because of their high sheens, both need to be wiped clean if and when they are handled. Nickel is generally more expensive than chrome and can tarnish over time, but a lacquered finish slows the process. Brushed nickel, a designer favorite, eliminates smudging and fingerprint worries. Chrome is more affordable. If it is damaged, it can dull and any inferior plating can result in flaking, leaving the core metal open to rust.

“Nickel is always safe, particularly polished nickel because it provides more warmth than chrome. And it doesn’t sway in being universally beautiful, no matter the trend.” —JESSICA BENNETT

THINK BEYOND METAL There are many ways to introduce a glimmering metallic look beyond metals. Bennett includes mirrors, silver leafed ceilings, mercury glass lighting, wallcoverings and platinum-finished furnishings among them. She and her team dressed the home’s two-story stairway wall with a composition of vertical mirrors that reflect light while doubling the visual impact of the stunning, nickelaccented glass railing.

HIT THE HARDWARE “I see the nickel, silvered and chrome finishes in an edited, chic way,” says Bennett, who turns to “all-things hardware” from drapery rods and doorknobs to plumbing suites, door hinges and cabinetry hardware to showcase these cool materials. Discreet ledge pulls, plumbing fixtures and even the window cranks shimmer in cool nickel, delivering jewelry-like accents to the streamlined kitchen.

CHILL IN COMFORT “If comfort and warmth is the goal, using the right colors with your metals will give you those feelings, as will adding natural light, living finishes, patterns and textures,” says Bennett. In the dining room, nickelfinished chairs deliver a dash of reflective decadence to the stand-out space, while the thick rug, cascading-chain chandelier and live-edge wood table top inject soothing texture and materiality.

WORK IT IN Look to the home’s hardest working spaces for adding coolmetal magic. “Because we use the metals primarily in kitchens and baths, we pair them with the finest finishes in the home,” Bennett says. Think marble, wood finishes, mirrors, lighting’s glass crystals and more. “Nickel just shines against all of those gorgeous natural living finishes.”

Emily and Taylor Jackson’s new Alpine home was designed and built by The Fox Group and is surrounded by mountain and valley views. Inspired by manors of the English countryside, its shingle-clad exterior is complemented by copper gutters as well as chimneys and a portecochère formed from stone.

Exuberant maximalism has its place, but it isn’t in Emily Jackson’s new house. The same goes for distilled modernism. “I have four kids and run a multi-million dollar business, so I needed our house to be calm and comforting,” says Emily, fashion and fitness influencer and the founder/creative director of IVL Collective, a premium activewear brand. Five years ago, Emily tired of the house where she and husband Taylor were raising their young family, so she searched for a lot in Alpine where the couple could build a new home. “I love the area and wanted to be in the mountains,” she explains. Emily struck gold when she found a hillside double lot overlooking the valley and surrounding peaks. Initially, Taylor resisted the idea of moving, but Emily knew this site would be a game changer. “He’s a sucker for a beautiful view,” she laughs. A nearby trailhead also seduced the couple, who are avid trail runners. “Nothing is better than being able to cross the street and be in the mountains,” she says. The Jacksons tapped Tom and Cara Fox to design and build their family’s new home, a decision that came easily. “I love their

East Coast, Connecticut vibe. And when we met, it was a perfect fit,” Emily recalls. The Fox Group, known for creating timeless heritage homes, is a simpatico choice for clients craving fresh, classic style. Count Emily among them. “I wanted a traditional home that’s timeless with nothing too trendy,” she explains. But, interior designer Cara adds, Emily also fancied a sense of sophisticated glamor and modern luxury. “Think Ralph Lauren, Victoria Hagen and the grand manors of the English countryside,” Cara says. Bringing this fresh traditional style to the Alpine setting with a large, shingle-clad home could have been tricky, but The Fox Group made all the right moves. Tom fashioned timeless architecture defined by calming symmetry and classically proportioned features, including windows, gables and overhangs. To foster the dwelling’s refined-yet-relaxed style, he incorporated white-painted railings, copper gutters and local stone that forms multiple chimneys and a large porte-cochère. Even the landscape’s curved lines and a lack of stately stairs leading to the front door fend off a sense of buttoned-up formality or drama. “We used classic proportions and elements on the outside and saved the more dramatic moments for inside the home,” Cara says. The interior, like the facade, reflects a sense of classic elegance and showcases masterful architectural elements including coffered ceilings, custom paneling and oversized elements befitting the home’s generous scale. The massive three-story foyer, a must-have for Emily, features elegantly paneled walls, a wrap-around staircase and a black-and-white checkered marble floor. “It’s an amazing walk-in moment,” Cara observes. It also provides a striking backdrop for photos of Emily’s activewear and product campaigns. The grand foyer opens to the equally astounding living room, defined by an enormous window wall, soaring barrel ceiling and exquisite Gracie wallpaper. “I knew that I wanted the flow of a huge entry that leads to the living room with doors opening to the backyard,” Emily says. “And Tom nailed it.” The configuration allows the Jacksons to entertain on a large scale while being able to close off their family’s more private rooms and spaces, which can’t be seen from the entry. Emily explains, “Our old house had an open floor plan that let people see much of the house from the front door, and I didn’t want that here.” Down the hall and out of sight from the entry is the family hub gifted with generous, 12-foot ceilings and loads of natural light. The open space combines a chic kitchen, a relaxed family room

and a casual dining spot hugged by a bay of floor-to-ceiling windows. “I didn’t want a formal dining room that we’d never use,” Emily explains. Throughout the house, you’d be hard-pressed to find a plain surface. “I hate drywall because it feels cold,” Emily explains. Cara and Tom responded with walls and ceilings masterfully detailed in everything from classic moldings and tongue-and-groove paneling to coffers and jaw-dropping wallcoverings. The interior’s harmonious palette primarily leans to warm whites and neutral tones that satisfy Emily’s desire for serenity, yet Cara punctuated it with shots of color—mostly blues—“for added interest.” The powder room, for example, gleams with vivid teal trim that the designer color-matched to Gucci wallpaper. Taylor’s two-story office flaunts moody blue walls and the butler’s pantry is a celebration of head-to-toe navy built-ins that nod to the dark-blue front door painted in Benjamin Moore’s Raccoon Fur. “A thread of blue weaves throughout the home,” Cara says. Truth is, there are so many things to obsess over in the home. There’s the exaggerated scale that contributes to its sense of glamor and luxury. There’s the hillside location that affords breathtaking views from nearly every window strategically positioned in the time-honored architecture. There’s the mix of lux materials— elegant marble, herringbone-patterned hardwood, cast limestone and hand-painted wallpapers—that elevate the decor. And there’s the abundance of fixtures, furnishings and unexpected details that foster the fresh take on tradition for which The Fox Group is known. For Emily, the house is much greater than the sum of its parts. “I love this house,” she says. “It’s everything I hoped that it would be—and more.”

“The fact that we have this landmark piece of American architecture in our backyard, and we don’t know about it, is crazy,” says photographer Scot Zimmerman, who has documented more than his fair share of architecturally significant buildings during the past 40 years. The 1964 Seigel House—named for its original owner and built into Salt Lake’s Mount Olympus hillside—ranks high among them. Recently, a few discerning eyes have taken note of the glass-and-steel home’s pedigree, designer and artist Doug Smith, in particular. “It is a rare architectural gem of midcentury and International Style that had been hidden for 25 years,” he says. Forest overgrowth and a weather-worn fence shrouded the home and site until late 2023, when Doug Smith and his team of designers, builder Alan Cottle and talented landscapers painstakingly renovated the property to reflect its origin—one with a thoroughbred lineage. The boxy residence owes its pedigree to architect John W. Sugden (1922-2003), one of the “last disciples of Mies [van der Rohe] and the Bauhaus-inspired modernist,” according to his Salt Lake Tribune obituary. Midcentury architecture academics and aficionados revere Sugden for pioneering modernist design in Utah. In 1952, Sugden moved to Utah from Chicago where he studied under famed German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Van der

Modernist design dictated new rules of residential living with an open layout, a far departure from the Victorian and Craftsman era that preceded it. Restoring the main living room with original 1964 photos in hand, the crew removed fluorescent lighting, window coverings and a dropped acoustical ceiling added after the initial construction. New ceiling height and LED track lighting now showcase clean lines and maximize window exposure to the site, exposing the white steel skeleton of the structure. Anchored by original terrazzo flooring, the dining, fireplace lounge and living room areas make the open space ideal for entertaining large groups.

Rohe launched the “less is more” concept of International Style in the U.S.—fl at-roofed structures with minimal ornamentation, asymmetrical composition, emphasis on volume and bands of windows set into a rectangular form—making him one of the most influential architects of the 20th century. Sugden also assisted Mies on the Farnsworth House—the famous 1951 modernist residence in Plano, Ill.—that changed how Americans thought about residential living. Jack Smith already knew of Sugden’s illustrious portfolio when he—a young architecture student at the University of Utah—fi rst ran into the established architect in the 1950s. “I met him at the Sport House, [a] kind of club for skiers and ski racers,” recalls Jack Smith, now 91. “I asked him for a job, but he said he didn’t have one.” Eventually, Sugden hired his fellow ski enthusiast. Jack Smith became a draftsman under Sugden on the Siegel House, one of the few homes on the Mount Olympus hillside in 1964. “I know the house inside and out,” he

UPPER LEFT: “St. Charles was the Rolls Royce of cabinets in the 1960s,” says Doug Smith, describing two rows of upper cabinets the team preserved in the kitchen. They also saved the glazed tile fl ooring. Everything else? Gone. To soften the stainless steel, the team installed custom, oil-rubbed, fl at-panel walnut cabinetry from Timber Mill to fill in the rest of the kitchen. The polished space houses built-in Thermador and Bosch appliances, Black Granite Co. countertops and a Daltile stone backsplash.

A sculpture by artist David Holz centers the entry doors and is positioned to be seen from the street. Due to the linear nature of the house, Doug Smith chose the curvaceous sculpture as a complimentary juxtaposition. Pimento red pops against the stark white. The landscape retained local clump maple, pine and scrub oak trees, but the designer added sweet sumac and various ground covers and grasses.

says. “It was kind of a design-build with [Sugden] as the general contractor. Basically, [another draftsman] and I also built the house as construction managers and managed the subcontractors.” Thanks to his time with Sugden, Jack Smith went on to design his own landmark and award-winning projects—including Sno wbird Resort’s iconic concrete-andglass buildings constructed in the 1970s. Today, the lively retired professor still practices in Sun Valley, Idaho. “The Siegel House is an advanced technical structural innovation, every bit as important as the Farnsworth House,” Jack Smith professes. Like the Farnsworth House in Illinois, the Utah home bucked the traditional notion of residential living at the time. Modernist philosophy showcased simple forms: a fl at roof, a

steel box structure hovering over the landscape, industrial materials including steel and glass and a single open space separated into rooms divided by furnishings and massproduced cabinets, storage units and bookshelves. But the building is more than what the average eye sees. “Architecture isn’t architecture until it becomes art,” Jack Smith says. “When you walk into the Seigel House, there’s a diﬀerent level of understanding. It takes you—like music does—to a higher realm of happiness. It’s pure joy.” It’s that scale of emotion the renovation team targeted. And they achieved it. “Doug restored it beautifully, in a very honest and truthful way,” says Jack Smith, who argues that much of today’s interior design doesn’t honor the architecture of a space. “Doug

MAKING OF A MODERNIST MARVEL Architect Jack Smith weighs in on the Seigel House’s most innovative features 1. THE STEEL: “Sugden makes an art form out of steel. It’s in the connection made between steel beams and columns.” 2. THE EYEBROW: “Mies’s buildings had no overhangs. Sugden added the eyebrow, an overhang to protect you from the sun and rain. The eyebrow John came up with requires the [steel] detailing to be completely different. The column must be internal to the beam across the top.” 3. THE GLASS: “Glass is what we call a noble material. It’s a miracle because it never changes with age. It lasts indefinitely. That’s a miracle.” 4. THE RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE: “Glass allows you to live in nature. It can rain. It can snow. The wind can blow. It can do all kinds of things and here you are with just this little thin piece of glass between you and nature. Talk about a connection to nature—it’s just one step away from being in it.” 5. THE TRUTH: “The steel frame of the ceiling is exposed. If a beam is made of steel, it needs to show that it’s a steel beam. That becomes an honesty or a truth, if you will. It’s a philosophical positioning. There’s nothing fake or false about architecture. Nothing. So, truth is probably the most important principle in architecture. It’s probably the most important principle in life, isn’t it?”

The primary bedroom retains Sugden’s original walnut closet modules but loses drab curtains and shag carpeting.

furnished it in an appropriate way. It isn’t decorated. If something is already perfect, you don’t need to decorate it.” Scaling back 60 years of wear and tear on any home is no easy task. “At first, it seemed daunting, but it became an education and delight as layers were peeled back to reveal its 1964 simplicity,” says Doug Smith, principal of Smith Setjo Group. This Siegel House once hid behind an overgrown forest of scrub oaks, aspens and pines. House guests entered through a back door because the front entryway was lost at the end of a haphazard paver trail. The pool (added in 1974) leaked and its travertine tiles lay broken by Utah’s harsh winters. The interior felt just as bleak. “When we got the house, it had this nasty chrome-suspended ceiling with fluorescent lights. It was like you were sitting in an IBM office in the 80s,” says Doug Smith. A former event designer,

Designers Doug Smith and Danny Setjo sourced furnishing from CB2, Crate and Barrel, Keeksdesign and Eternity Modern. Glass plays a pivotal role in the home, as it embodies the architect’s principle of transparency and blurs the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. The fireplace retains its original walnut casing and smoked-black glass, but a new gasburning stove with concrete fireballs replaces the old wood-burning one.

he leaned into this renovation, wielding expertise in space design, crowd flow and visual surprise. The renovation became a tightrope walk of restoring a historic build and updating the home for life in 2024, all on a strict deadline. After removing six dump-truck loads of debris, Doug Smith and his team injected the midcentury home with modern amenities, a warm aesthetic and glamorous details. “It is rare in a design career to be able to work on a historic project of this nature,” he says. “We were committed to architectural preservation and purity in restoring the structure to a new life for a new generation.” Not all renovators become stewards of notable architecture, but in this case, they did. Jack Smith gives his nod of approval. “When you go into a really beautiful chapel or church, don’t you sometimes get goosebumps? An excellent piece of architecture should make you do that. It can be a residence or even a shed. A shed can be as noble as a cathedral if it’s done right. It doesn’t have to be big or expensive. It just has to achieve the art form. The Siegel House does that.” Doug Smith (right) and Danny Setjo, principals of Smith Setjo Group.

It’s no secret that Utah punches above its weight when it comes to talented designers and show-stopping homes, but I’m always amazed by the quantity and quality of Utah’s own world-class craftspeople who make the dreams of designers and their clients a reality. The Beehive State is aptly named, given the hard work, ingenuity and artistry of its talented makers. When my team at Altalux Studio and I were faced with the update of a 45-year-old tract home in Bountiful, I knew Utah craftspeople would be the key to our transforming the old house into a haven where our clients could gracefully age in place and invite generations of family to comfortably gather and stay. We assembled artisans who understood our vision of all that was possible, and in spite of the home’s compact footprint, chopped up rooms and aging structure, they didn’t rest until the vision became a reality. The challenges began inside the front door. The entry was cramped and anchored by a dominant stairwell that needed a significant update. Beyond it, many rooms needed to be combined and reconfigured to allow as much natural light into the home as possible. I’ve long admired the work of JLR Architectural Woodwork, celebrated for their exquisite fi nish work at Grand America Hotel and other prominent buildings, so I knew they could architecturally elevate this core

area with millwork while maintaining distinct transitions between its elements. Their installers worked like rock climbers, dotting the double-height stairway and other spaces with hundreds of multi-colored shims until each raised panel, column and coffer was perfectly plumb. To draw clean lines across complicated transition points in the stairway millwork, we designed solid brass handrails and had them fabricated by Historical Arts and Casting—a Utah company trusted with cast metal ornamentation projects from the U.S. Capitol dome to New York’s Grand Central Terminal. Their masterful work continued in the kitchen, where brass strapping beautifully protects the bases of kitchen cabinets, showcasing a unique method of miter scoring the brass at each corner to avoid visible joints. Lighting is a fundamental part of our projects’ designs, and this home was no exception. To accentuate its architectural detail and strong focal points, we integrated a series of in-ceiling projectors to precisely illuminate wall art.

and places it between the bulb and lens to focus light only on the canvas, creating nearly an illusion of backlighting. Although his work typically takes him to far flung locations, he’s quick to say, “I love the chance to come home and work on the interesting and challenging projects going on here in Utah.” We also set the primary bedroom aglow with an opalescent Venetian plaster that softens the tall walls crowned by a high, vaulted ceiling. Artist Alycin Wright loosely troweled together a custom blend of minerals and lime, and applied it as if painting a fresco. The result is an ethereal, cloud-like eﬀect that slowly shifts throughout the day as windows and skylights flood the room with light. To accommodate our clients’ guests, we needed to conceive places for up to 50 people to sit simultaneously at proper tables and chairs. We designed a complete set of convertible living room furniture pieces, and turned to Aaron Carter of AWCarter Furnitureworks in Mount Pleasant to fabricate them. Aaron’s team brainstormed and experimented before developing the hinges, springs and latches that allow individual occasional tables to be grouped and transformed into an 18-person dining table in less than seven minutes. Michael Trent Coates, one of the best kept secrets of celebrity designers across the country, perfectly scaled the upholstered benches and chairs to sit at dining height and to comfortably surround the large table in multiple configurations. He also built a crowd-pleasing banquette for the kitchen. With its

Garden designer Emily Brooks Wayment brilliantly channeled our clients’ love of Filoli House in Northern California and miraculously adapted it for a Utah climate. Emily designed a garden view from every window and redeveloped each porch to provide sitting areas and private access to serene spaces throughout the yard. She also hand-selected each plant on scouting trips to dozens of nurseries across the West, using many specimens cultivated specifically for her. The final result is not just a beautifully orchestrated retreat that generations of our clients’ family can call home, but also an ode to the master craftsmen who brought it back to life.

hen Katherine Chandler and her husband Jeff rey Sherlock craved more elbow room for their 1911, 836 square-foot house located in the heart of Salt Lake City, the couple asked Renovation Design Group’s Annie Schwemmer to explore the possibilities of expanding the tiny home’s space and livability. The architect’s assessment wasn’t good news. “We discovered that the house was structurally unsound, and we recommended rebuilding it instead,” Schwemmer recalls. The report didn’t rattle Chandler and Sherlock. “As soon as Annie told us, we were completely on board,” Chandler says. Nor did the news motivate them to move from their beloved and secluded street where many other family members reside. “We weren’t attached to the house, but we are super attached to the location,” says Chandler, referring to a small cluster of homes on a narrow street in the city’s East Central neighborhood. Before designing the couple’s new house, Schwemmer asked them to list everything they wanted from the home and to highlight the must-haves. “Of course, the location was non-negotiable,” Chandler states. “We also had to have lots of natural light, three bedrooms and at least two bathrooms.” Additional wants included an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and a large dining area for them to entertain their neighboring clan. An open floor plan and simple, modern style also topped the list. “After living in old houses with warrens of tiny rooms, we were ready for something different,” Chandler says. Measuring less than 4,000 square feet, the small property drove the compact size of the new three-level home’s footprint measuring a mere 1,000 square feet. Zoning requirements and a desire to complement the neighboring dwellings also impacted the plan. “With its upper level tucked into the roofl ine, the new design maintains a similar size and feel to the surrounding homes,” says Schwemmer. “It also introduces a subtle modern sensibility marked by simplicity and subtraction

Living extends to the outdoors from the back of the home. A second-story balcony serves the primary bedroom while a shaded deck expands entertaining space beyond the indoor living and dining areas. A small, landscaped yard offers grassy space for the kids to play.

of materials and elements so it doesn’t overwhelm. The architect teamed with contractor Zac Hicks of Bluebird Renovations to create the home. Hicks constructed the walls using 2-inch ZIP panels for improved thermal performance and used Boral TruExterior nickel gap exterior siding painted in a surprising hue. “We wanted it to be blue, just like the original house,” says Chandler, whose passion for color punctuates the project at every turn. Exhibit No. 1: A glass-paned front door that dazzles with its coat of red-orange paint. “It’s the color of the Golden Gate Bridge and makes me smile every time I enter the house,” Chandler beams. The door hints at the spirited decor waiting inside, while offering a glimpse of the home’s welcoming

RIGHT: The main level’s open floor plan provides the look and livability the young family craved. Savvy seating and flexibility accommodates effortless entertaining. White walls serve as a neutral canvas for daring design statements including a tile-clad fireplace, vivid blue kitchen cabinets and multi-hued dining chairs. “I love bold colors,” confesses Chandler.

The open kitchen and dining areas lead to the backyard’s patio and shaded deck to expand the interior’s livable space outdoors. Furnishings and lighting were selected to foster the interior’s simplicity and modern style. Chandler designed and made the pottery pieces displayed on the kitchen’s open shelves. OPPOSITE TOP: As seen from the kitchen, the main living area is anchored by the large fi replace and includes a glass enclosed area used as a playroom for the kids. “We call it the cage,” Chandler chuckles. OPPOSITE BOTTOM: The playroom’s wall of folding glass doors can be fully opened to the main living area or pulled closed to confi ne the space while keeping the kids in full view.

interior. “The glass door and ample windows brighten the entry with wonderful southern light and create interesting patterns and shadows,” Schwemmer says. To the right of the uncluttered entry, a clean-lined staircase boasts blackened steel rails and woodfaced steps. “It’s really simple, just a cascade of wood and nothing fussy,” Chandler says. To the left is a steel-framed glass enclosure that fronts the main level’s open living area. “The custom-designed, fabricated glass wall folds back similar to doors that open to patio spaces,” Schwemmer says. The enclosed space was initially intended to be Sherlock’s home office, but by the time the home was completed, it became a playroom. “We had one child during the permitting process and a second right after we moved in, so it never had the chance to be an office.” Chandler says with a laugh. Farther back in the home, a light-filled kitchen shares the main level’s open floor plan with a notably large dining area. “We host up to fourteen family members once or twice a week,” Chandler explains. Nearby, a spacious sitting area is anchored by a large fireplace clad in dark acoustic tiles detailed with cream stars randomly placed by interior designer Susan Taggart, who worked closely with the

homeowners on their new digs. “Susan was amazing and did a really great job reigning me in,” Chandler says. The window frames, for example, are black rather than bright orange as Chandler originally envisioned. “Susan convinced me that would just be too much,” she chuckles. The kitchen island, however, features a must-have blue that makes Chandler giddy. “It’s inspired by an amazingly blue home that sits next to Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle Garden in Morocco,” she gushes. White walls, maple floors and simply formed fi xtures serve as a quiet backdrop for this and other colorful statements that animate the interior, from furnishings and fi nishes to custom cabinets and tile. “I absolutely love handmade tile, and for me, it was the most fun part of creating the house,” recalls Chandler, who collaborated with Taggart on making eye-catching selections. Savvy storage also recurs throughout the house, including the entry and mudroom’s builtin cabinets. “Adequate storage was the key to making this home feel larger,“ Chandler insists. The same is true of space-saving elements like a floating bathroom vanity and a streamlined storage bench that sides the fi replace. These, along with abundant windows, high ceilings and an uncluttered decor, foster an open and spacious feel despite the home’s modest size. And for the young family of four (soon to be five), it is exactly what they wanted—and needed. Chandler beams, “We have toddlers and it is chaotic much of the time, but the simplicity and spaciousness of our home makes living here such a joy.”

OPPOSITE CLOCKWISE: Built on a narrow street and small lot, the home features a pitched roof, clean-lined architecture and edited materiality that complements the neighborhood’s scale and other residences. The two-story entry features an eye-catching staircase defi ned by the simplicity of its open black railing and wood-clad steps. Upstairs, the primary bedroom and bath are joined by two other bedrooms and a bath. The home’s lowest level serves as an ADU. Chandler chose handcrafted zellige tile from Clé to wrap the primary bathroom in a deep green hue with a subtle aquatic feel. The walls and fl oors of the main level powder room are completely tiled in white penny tile—including rounded corners. The fl oor has a drain if the open shower is used.

If you want to create seasonal flower pots that look like they were professionally planted, commit these three words to memory: thrill, fill and spill. BY BR A D M E E

lanting your warm-weather flower pots doesn’t take much thought. Dig holes, plop in the plants and add water. Pretty simple, right? Except, when was the last time anyone told you how amazing your planters look? In fact, when did they really excite you? Well, there’s a simple design approach gardening pros often use to give containers the look and love they deserve. And here’s the good news: It isn’t any more complicated than thrill, fill and spill. The practice involves positioning an upright plant that “thrills” in the center of the container. Then, mid-sized plantings are positioned to “fill” the area around the vertical plant with complementary color and texture. Finally, trailing plants are added to “spill”

REASONS TO LOVE CONTAINER GARDENS

Planters and pots offer several advantages, making them a popular choice for garden lovers Style Power Containers and planters come in assorted styles, sizes, materials and finishes. With a multitude of options available, they allow you to use their unique style to enhance your outdoor decor while creating a customized, cohesive and complementary addition to the scene.

Versatility Planters and pots suit most any space and design. They can be used on porches, patios and decks, as well as tucked into garden spaces to create an unexpected focal point. They can also be moved for seasonal exposure, events and enjoyment.

Soil Quality and Drainage Control Containers allow you to control the type and quality of soil mix you use, and most feature drainage holes to enable you to manage soil moisture and aeration.

Center a tall, upright plant and center it in the container as a primary focal point. Choose a specimen with dramatic form, foliage and/or flowers.

Surround the upright plant with mid-level plants that fill the area around the centered specimen while delivering color, texture and volume. Select foliage and flowers that add color and texture without overwhelming the “thrill” plant.

Plant trailing flora that grow beyond the rim of the container and cascade over its sides, visually softening the arrangement and the planter’s edge.

Plants to consider: dracaena, canna lilies, flax, ornamental grasses, dwarf spruce and tall flowering plants like hydrangea, tall phlox, snapdragons, diplandenia and butterfly bushes.

Plants to consider: petunias, geraniums, marigolds, coleus, sage, African daisies, small zinnia and begonias.

Plants to consider: sweet potato vine, trailing lobelia, lantana, ivy, verbena, creeping Jenny and cascading petunias.

In comparison to in-ground gardens, a pot’s confined space and limited plantings make it easier to prune, deadhead, weed and generally care for its contents. Plus, pots’ raised heights make them easier to access and can help protect them from in-soil pests and diseases.

Seasonal Flexibility You can swap out the plants from season to season, changing the look and style of your outdoor space with minimal effort. Showcasing eye-catching foliage, as well as flowers, makes a big seasonal impact.

Space Maximization Plants allow you to make a big style statement in compact outdoor spaces as well as in landscapes with bad soil. What’s more, grouped containers, stacked pots and hanging baskets provide multiple ways to create garden spaces in small outdoor areas.

GARDEN CHECKLIST APRIL ☐ Thin overcrowded seedlings using scissors. Try to avoid disturbing young roots.

☐ Control young garden weeds by hoeing or hand-pulling.

☐ Plant summer-blooming bulbs including gladiola, begonia, dahlia and canna.

☐ Protect fruit blossoms and tender garden plants from late critical freezing temperatures.

☐ Divide warm-season ornamental grasses when new growth begins to emerge.

☐ If storing bulbs, check to make sure they are firm, and remove any that are soft or rotten.

☐ Allow the foliage of spring blooming bulbs (tulips, daffodils, and crocus) to die down before removing the leaves.

☐ Wait to prune roses until buds begin to swell to avoid late-frost damage to new growth. ☐ Prune spring flowering shrubs (those that bloom before June) after they have bloomed to encourage new flower buds for next season. ☐ Divide crowded, fall-blooming perennials. ☐ Divide cool-season ornamental grasses when new growth begins to emerge. ☐ Use organic mulches (wood chips or bark) to retain soil moisture around shrubs and trees. ☐ In compacted sites, aerate with a hollow core aerator when turfgrass is actively growing, usually from April to June. ☐ Apply pre-emergent herbicides in late March to mid-April to control annual weeds in the lawn, such as crabgrass. ☐ Check your sprinkler system for leaks. Clean filters, and fix and align heads.

MAY ☐ Plant warm-season vegetables and annual flowers once the threat of frost has passed. ☐ Plant tomatoes deep enough that they are able to form more roots along the stem to create a vigorous plant.

☐ Control broadleaf weeds in the lawn when temperatures are between 60-80 F. Follow the label and stop use of broadleaf herbicides once the temperature is above 85°F. ☐ Apply a slow-release lawn fertilizer to provide long-lasting results through the summer months.

Friday, April 26

The first Arbor Day celebration was first held in Nebraska on April 10, 1872, when J. Sterling Morton proposed that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees. This was first observed with the planting of more than one million trees in the state, and is now celebrated all over the world. Utah and most states celebrate Arbor Day on the last Friday of April, but some, like Hawaii and Alaska, observe it on dates that better align with their planting times. Many communities across Utah observe Arbor Day with group tree plantings. Check your local events calendar to discover when and where you can join others in the celebrations. In Salt Lake City, Red Butte Garden celebrates with a free admission day, inviting visitors to self-guided “tree-rific” activities and the learning of the role trees play in our lives and the natural world. redbuttegarden.org Use Red Butte Garden’s Tree Journal to track and record thoughts and observations about your favorite tree or new seedling.

☐ Prune tomatoes to open the canopy of the plant. ☐ Consider drip irrigation in the garden to conserve water with either tape or PVC pipe. ☐ Prune spring flowering shrubs (those that bloom before June) after they have bloomed to encourage new flower buds for next season. ☐ Deadhead (cut off) spent blossoms of perennial and annual flowers. ☐ Thin the fruit of apples, peaches, and apricots to approximately one fruit every 5-6 inches. ☐ Apply a second application of pre-emergent herbicides in late May to early June to control annual weeds in the lawn such as crabgrass and spurge. ☐ Remember that turfgrass only needs 1 to 1 ½ inches of irrigation per week.

ARBOR DAY

DID YOU KNOW? In 2014, Utah’s state tree was changed from the Colorado Blue Spruce to the Quaking Aspen in honor of Pando. Near Fish Lake, it is an aspen clone that originated from a single seed and is now a single root system. Pando is believed to be the largest, most dense organism ever found at nearly 13 million pounds. The clone spreads over 106 acres, and consists of more than 40,000 individual trees.

☐ Plant seeds of cool-season vegetables (peas, lettuce, spinach, radishes) as soon as garden soil is workable.

POINT OF VIEW

“While I will never be able to paint like Maynard Dixon, on this day I was able to photograph his kind of monumental Utah sky. Big spaces, red desert and a design/build Bluff home constructed by University of Utah architectural students using donated and salvaged materials for a Diné family meet a big, bold, thunder-fi lled sky. Old meets new, and nature will shortly end the day’s tranquility.” —SCOT ZIMMERMAN, PHOTOGRAPHER
