Not the best camera work, but the ride and views sure make up for it!
I’m falling in love with this beautiful piece of the world.

A peek at our recently completed Modern Tudor country house makeover.
A little more refined than we typically would go, but it sure gives a warm and welcoming vibe now that it’s all done.
Can’t wait for the first big party invite (hint hint to our dear clients 😉).

Where do I begin….
Really, it’s likely one of my most favorite rooms to design.
The family room/games room.
The place where movies are watched, board games are played, books are read, and snuggles are had.
Warm memories are created here, and who wouldn’t love to be a part of setting the stage for a lifetime of treasured and heart warming moments like that!

“Give me a fireplace that looks entirely authentic and timeless. I also want a tv…BUT I don’t want to see it when it’s not in use!”
I can’t tell you how often we get this request. On first thought it may seem like a simple thing to do. I’ve heard: “you ARE a designer, so really, it should be easy for you”.
True, I am a designer. Have been for over a quarter century, and have designed 100’s (possibly 1000’s, but I haven’t counted) different fireplaces.
So I reach into the deep dark corner of my broom closet and pull out my magic wand, and with a couple swirls and …POUFF! - the perfect design appears on paper with all technical challenges resolved!!
PSA: Contrary to popular belief, designers DO NOT have a magic wand!
No matter how much experience we have, every space, every client, and every municipality has unique restraints, visions, and requirements we must take into consideration when conceiving and then testing the viability of the perfect plan.
Sometimes we go through 5 or 6 or 10 different iterations before we can be satisfied with the concept we present to our clients. That’s a lot of brain-churning thought process, combining the creative side of the brain with the technical side - making sure the idea is truly buildable (because we really hate when the contractor looks at it and says “this is impossible to build!”). Then, once we have a viable design that knocks your socks off visually, most often we need to figure out how it will fit a specific budget. I will say here, there are projects when budget is not as important as the result - but the reality is most everyone has an idea of what they are comfortable spending - and that may change before, during, and after the design process.
Sure, we make it LOOK easy.
That’s because this is our area of expertise. We SHOULD make it look easy. Because it’s what we do every day, and have done so for many many years. We are not accountants or lawyers or hair stylists - we wouldn’t be your go to for a stylish cut and color.
But if we can give you a magazine-cover worthy space that met your asks and blows away both you and your friends and family, well then maybe we do use a little fairy dust ✨💫✨

This is an ensuite with all the personalized spa-like details you could possibly fit into a tight little 160 square foot space.

To put it all in perspective - you don’t need a mansion to have a library….
This is the first of several room tours we will be sharing of our recently completed #farmhouseinthecity project.
Sooo many fun spaces our clients allowed us to push their comfort zone on.

There’s something just so captivating and comforting about a library filled with books.
I tend to get a little extra excited any time we are asked to include a library in a project, and this one was no exception!
Throw in some reclaimed Timbers, a reading nook, and of course the always dreamy library ladder, and voila! The coziest library space!

It’s Sunday.
Time to pause.
Take in all the little things.
Breath deep.
Exhale.
And feel wholehearted gratitude for the beauty around us, the people that love us, the animals that support us & the land that gives soooo much to us.

It snowed this weekend. We all knew it was coming. I don’t know why, but this year I’m having a real hard time saying goodbye to no-jacket weather.
So today I’m hanging on to memories of warmer days, with birds singing, horses grazing in the field, green leaves on trees, and rocking on the porch while taking in all the views.

So many people settle for less and refuse to dream big because they don’t see how they could get there.
Whether approached as a consultant, log/timber home designer, or interior designer (because our firm specializes in all 3 for log & timber homes), I tell every new client that the secret to achieving the home of their wildest dreams is to begin with the end.
The RLD philosophy emphasizes a unique approach to reverse-engineer the collaborative process. By designing the experience of a home from the inside out rather than the traditional steps of establishing architecture first, followed by interior planning second.

The complexity of constructing a log home is truly an art form that only few can do and even less have mastered.
Today @moosemountainloghomes welcomed our team for a tour of their latest project. It was an informative afternoon gaining insight on the process, work, planning and care that goes into each of their homes
Thank you for sharing with us.

I keep coming back to this space we pulled off a few years back…maybe because it represents our way of life here so much. We are into fall now, though the local temp here today is unusually mid-summer sweaty, and already we are talking about the first snowfall, heading to the slopes and pulling out the winter gear.
Life in the northwest….work hard through the warm months, then play hard in the cold ones.
We really do have the perfect lifestyle out here!

Do you know the history of the pool table?
“The earliest recorded playing of a recognisable form of billiards was in France in the 1340s. Played as an outdoor lawn game similar to croquet, it eventually moved indoors and onto a wooden table with green cloth to resemble grass on which it had been previously played. By the early 18th century indoor billiards was a favoured past time of the French nobility and English gentry.”

Bet you can’t guess how many guests can sleep in this wildly fun bunk room!
Designed to make the most memorable stay for the grandchildren, it’s purpose had to also fit well for future years when those grandchildren will have families of their own.
It was a challenge that we embraced wholeheartedly.
Memorable.
Spacious.
Cozy.
Fun for all ages.
Now that’s long term planning!!

I’m not really much of a tub person. It forces one to slow down and do, well, nothing. I can’t do “nothing” very well. Most often I’d rather have a quick shower and hustle on to the next thing on my list of daily to-do’s…..but with views like this it’s pretty hard to resist spending more than a few minutes just taking it all in - and exhaling.

Yup, I’m that kind of girl!
When I want something, I don’t sit around and wait for it to happen, I go MAKE it happen!
I bought the ring.
I booked the restaurant.
I think I even picked him up in my car.
And I proposed - right there in the restaurant, just before our appetizers were brought to the table.
He was silent ……..for a LONG time.
Kinda like when we first got to know each other.
I was a small town girl going to university in the city when I met this guy. He was a regular at the bar where I was working weekends. He was really sweet. A little quiet, but the most contagious grin you ever saw. We became casual friends, seeing each other at the same gatherings often over the next year.
But that was all.
What I didn’t know back then was that he had a serious crush on me, yet I was completely blind to it.
So one night when we were out with a mutual group of friends he took the plunge and grabbed my hand after we 2-stepped around the crowded dance floor. It was Nitty Gritty’s Fishing in the Dark. I remember so well thinking “oh, so we’re that kind of friends. Hand holding friends”.
A full night of friends fun and dancing continued with him holding my hand often. But I still didn’t catch on. Seriously. I thought we were just really good friends…who happen to hold hands once in a while…..I was so oblivious!!😆
It wasn’t until wee hours of the night (aka last call) when all the patrons of the bar -my bar- were being herded outside that I was enlightened. I was chatting away, as I often do, when he just grabbed my face and laid the biggest kiss on me!! Needless to say, I was NOT expecting that!!
Moments later I thought to myself “oh, we’re THAT kind of friends!” To be honest, I hadn’t even thought of him in a romantic way before. He was a just a really cool guy amongst a group of truly fun friends I would hang out with once in a while! That night I started seeing him through a completely different lense.
It didn’t take long for me to really fall for him. So kind, so considerate, so funny, and well - just so perfect for me.
We were friends first, and that is what we are today.
Best friends, confidants, and dream chasing partners.
That’s love!
You know someone’s cooking up a storm when the fire extinguisher is kept within arms length of the gas range!
But then, this cute little cabin reno was a hit with more than just the cook in the family.
We took it from a vintage handyman special to the sweetest little getaway-from-the-city destination.
I think they are going to have a lot more visitors popping by when their friends and family find out just how beautiful and inviting this cabin has become!!

I slept in this morning….but it’s Sunday, so it doesn’t count!
Waking up in a log cabin is a feeling like no other - kinda like a big hug from Mother Nature herself.
This bedroom was given just a hint of log, enough to impart the atmosphere and nostalgia without committing 100% to the classic cabin feel.
A little rustic.
A little modern.
A whole lot of character.
