Cottages have always delighted me. Even after photographing two cottage books, their appeal has only heightened. At their best, cottages call for a simple, gentle way of living attuned to nature. A recent cottage remodel by AMB Design (Anne-Marie Barton and her team of Linn Done and Hannah Farley) took a careful approach to keep the best and update the rest. AMB Design called on their frequent collaborators, European Marble, Craftsman Kitchen, and Artistic Stone to fulfill the vision.

The opening shot of the entry and the details above of the furnishings announce that in this home, one should take time to sit together, catch up, and talk. Also, that taking time to write notes or finding a quiet moment for making a journal entry is welcome, and here is a convenient place to do it.

The living area looking to the entry shows how the space is layered and offers keys to the floor plan. To the right, a hallway leads to a guestroom and master bedroom. To the left, in the foreground is the kitchen, and the hallway beyond on the left leads to a stairway and up to a combination children’s playroom and bedroom. Layers of additions and changes over time give cottages a history and character. Here, the woodwork highlights the contours of the hipped ceiling. The ceiling suggests it could have been the original portion of the cottage.

Looking the opposite direction, French doors open to an intimate creek side deck. The ceiling over the kitchen flattens and lowers, suggesting the room transition and that perhaps it was an addition at one time.

The completely updated kitchen offers all the modern conveniences without shouting remodel because of the care to maintain traditional elements. The pendent light fixtures elegantly speak to this balancing.

The primary bedroom is generously sized. The expanse and the chaise and big easy chair and ottoman reminded me a little of the bedroom suites of more than a century ago when it was an important personal private space for working, retreating and regrouping.

The powder room offers an example of how the use of efficient compact spaces sometimes necessitate creating nooks. A staircase created the sloped ceiling over the commode and an opportunity for storage.
The cottage was a delight to photograph. My only regret is that a drenching rain was falling, and I couldn’t open the doors and capture the transitions and links to the outdoors. But in this drought year, any rain is wonderful and to be appreciated. The dark skies gave the cottage an even greater sheltering intimacy, a character I couldn’t recreate on a sunnier day.

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, squared-off windows, exterior shutters and limestone accents. Landscape design by Tuck Landscape.

“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 materials are all about texture and tradition,” says designer Anne-Marie Barton, describing the open living room, where she fronted the fireplace’s white oak back wall with a handsome limestone mantle. Above, frameless art by Jill Barton conceals a TV. Layered rugs, light-toned woods, Verellen leather lounge chairs and a cozy sectional foster the room’s casual-yet-chic style.

“This art wall may be my favorite thing in our home,” says homeowner Coco Petersen. Barton fashioned custom hooks to hang the curated gallery on a wall she designed with extra-deep molding detail. Art by Jill Barton, Alex Gerrard, Zoe Maks and Russell Chatham. Photo by Scot Zimmerman
“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.

Today, the cedar-shingled, painted-brick home’s squared-off windows, exterior shutters, diamond 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 simple-style 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.

The quartzite-topped prep island features a butcher block end, uniquely designed with a brass-plated opening that allows the chef to sweep crumbs into a concealed trash bin below.

An expansive Mont Blanc quartzite slab clads the kitchen’s back wall, where open marble shelves and Barton’s custom brass hood fabricated by Bradshaw Design create a compelling focal point in the open space. The designer mixed wood and painted finishes to foster the room’s timeless, at-ease ambiance. She also selected detailed countertop edges to further the its fresh, traditional style. The countertop stone is from European Marble & Granite, the appliances are from Mountain Land Design and the cabinets were crafted by Craftsman Kitchens. Photo by Scot Zimmerman
Ceiling beams and tall windows were added to the keeping room, where loads of light, cheerful hues and laid-back furnishings lure family members from the adjacent kitchen area. “This is one of my favorite spaces,” says contractor Jeremy Jackson. “It’s a great spot to relax, read a book or just enjoy the view of the creek as it winds its way through the backyard.” The drapery fabric is by Rose Tarlow; furnishings are by Verellen.

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.”

The team opened the master bathroom’s compartmentalized floor plan to create a generous flow and enlarged windows to flood the space with light and garden views. Wood flooring further’s the room’s appeal. “They are the number-one way to warm a bathroom,” Barton says. Photo by Scot Zimmerman
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.
“Mirrors can deliver surprise,” says Barton, who cleverly chose a trio of hexagon-shaped mirrors to hang on a wall covered in similarly shaped tiles. Cabinets by Craftsman Kitchens; countertop, European Marble & Granite; Michael Berman brass faucets, House of Rohl. Photo by Scot Zimmerman

Art by Utah artist Zoe Maks creates a playful focal point in the girls’ charming bedroom. Barton fashioned a sweet palette of soft pinks and creams to dress the space, and she layered rugs and plush fabrics to create its luxurious, chic style. Photo by Scot Zimmerman
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.
The team raised and leveled the library’s original sunken floor, so Barton devised floor-to-ceiling cabinetry to make the room look and feel taller. A new leaded glass window fills the room with light. The sconces are from David Iatesta, and the rug is from Designer Carpets. Photo by Scot Zimmerman
“A great sized lot with mature trees and a tennis court that also backs up to Cottonwood Creek: it was exactly what we were looking for,” says homeowner Ryan Petersen.

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?

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, irreverent 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.

Creating homes is in many ways a matchmaking process. With a client-commissioned custom home, this is made simpler by matching the clients’ wish list with an eye on a possible sale in the future. How much more complicated this is when the home is for people that the designers and builder have yet to meet!
I’m returning this week to the St. George Parade of Homes and a home in the Stone Cliff gated community built on spec by KH Traveller Custom Homes (Kayson Traveller). The interior design is by Tasteful Trends Interiors (Angie Marshall). I thought the size, use of space, and flow carefully anticipates the lifestyle and needs of a potential buyer in the Southern Utah desert.
The opening shot is the north side of the home. Built into a bluff, the views are out to the lights of town and to Pine Mountain, which had a new dusting of snow when I was there. Reading from the left, the guest suite, open living area, and the master all enjoy poolside views.

The street side shows an emphasis on privacy. The exception is the glass at the entry, which allows for transparency through the home. The two garages recognize the need to provide storage for recreation vehicles. Campers, boats, side-by-sides, motorcycles, and bicycles are how people get out to enjoy the country. The minimal low-maintenance yard makes it easy to leave for an adventure, or to return to another home, as many people do.

The front entry leads into the open plan. The wall-length gas fireplace is a strong architectural feature to make the space memorable. I have been reading a lot of discussions recently about how to define the living spaces in open plan, and whether walls or partial walls are desirable or necessary. In this case, a cloud lowers the ceiling over the kitchen, and the dining area, to the right at the back, is an alcove with two glass walls.
Photos by Scot Zimmerman
Here is a closer view of the dining area, semi-defined, but still openly connected.

Isn’t it amazing the different qualities a desert home takes on daytime versus evening? Here we look to the south toward the glass entry door and surround. To the right is an office that also looks out to the front. It’s convenient to the front door and spacious enough for seating for an office that might on occasion receive clients. There is adequate parking in the front for guests or clients.

The kitchen is larger than you might anticipate given the size of the home and the living area. But consider also the entertainment area around the pool and the potential for a home like this to be the center for big gatherings at holidays or special events like reunions, graduations, parties, fundraisers, or even small weddings. The kitchen island to the right has a long line of seating and serves to separate the kitchen from the living in the open plan. The central island is a working surface with the sink and access to storage on three sides. Looking back to the left is the entrance to the butler’s pantry.

In the kitchen detail, you can see the furniture-like cabinetry. There’s a closer peek into the butler’s pantry. Unseen is a separate storage pantry off the butler’s pantry.

Down the passage by the office is the utility, laundry, crafts area. People past raising their family often anticipate they will have time for passions they have neglected. While working and raising a family, there is often little time for sewing, crafts, artwork, and projects. And when you finally have time, often there isn’t space in homes for doing these things. This room addresses that. There is also additional storage for linens, serving dishes, holiday pieces, and the belongings people with grown families have assembled. The door to the back leads to the master bedroom closet/dressing room for conveniently putting away the laundry.

The master bedroom enjoys pool and patio views and access.

The size and generous windows make the master feel open and unconfined, and there’s both a glass walk-in shower and a soaking tub. The wall and cliff outside the window ensure privacy.
This isn’t a particularly large home. The master suite, kitchen, and utility/laundry have the most generous space. However, the outdoor patios provide a great deal more living space that the mild St. George climate will allow to be used. It’s a home where I anticipate all the space will be enjoyed—right-sized.

For both home chefs and decorators, oranges are a fresh source of inspiration all year long. Both a color and fruit, few words deliver so much decorative zest. Here are some enchanting wallcoverings that cleverly incorporate our favorite winter citrus.
Everyone, it seems, dreams about that perfect home, but not all of us create it. In our feature story “In Grand Style,” John and Marissa Pope envision, design and build their family’s forever home in Salem in collaboration with Davies Design Build. The following photos take us beyond those shared in the printed story, showcasing even more of the Popes’ dream-it, build-it domain.

The entry’s stately staircase leads to a light-filled landing where built-in book shelves and a reading area invite family members to enjoy some quiet time. Dripping in crystals, the tiered black chandelier tops the two-story staircase with a dazzling display.
I discovered yet another wonderful Salt Lake secret neighborhood. This one is just south of Research Park, well above Foothill Boulevard. The streets are quiet, the homes are established, and many back up to Emigration Creek for the sounds and delight of a running stream and the wildlife it attracts. Starting with a perfect location, the team of AMB Design (Anne-Marie Barton) and Dubell Custom Homes (Steve Dubell) revived the interiors to preserve the classic elements, created an open and flowing floor plan that still offers definition to each area, and creates so many great hang-out places, making it difficult to choose.
The opening shot shows a dining table set in front of the fireplace. A dinner party here is certain to be remembered.

And there is another formal dining room. This one enjoys a streetside bay window and has a door directly into the kitchen. The custom dining table subtly echoes Art Deco. The concept of two dining areas offer so many potential benefits: large family holidays or a big dinner party; a buffet table on one and dining on the other; or a game table and a dining table for an active evening.

“As aesthetics get more natural and organic, people are more comfortable with dry flowers,” says floral designer Sarah Winward. She’s not talking about yesteryear’s tight wheat shafts and bulky seed pods, but florals and foliage that are more wispy, loose and ethereal—like those displayed in this grouping of simple-yet-stunning arrangements. Winward foraged roadsides for the pink, fuzzy-headed Apache Plume as well as the nondescript “Roadsidea,” as she jokingly refers to the taller, unidentified stems. The designer staged them in petite Judy Jackson vases featuring little openings. “The small mouths allow you to display just one or a few stems, so that you can really appreciate their shapes and textures.” The impact created by multiple containers paired with the simplicity of the dried flowers promises “no fail” arrangements, Winward contends. But, she warns, “Just because they last longer than fresh-cut flowers doesn’t mean they have to be kept for years gathering dust. Think of them as just as special—and as fleeting.”
Designers and builders from across the state showed off their best at the 2021 St. George Area Parade of Homes. In these desert homes, modern elements were paired with classic style and landscape-driven outdoor living complemented unforgettable interiors. Here are 10 of our favorite trends to guide your own home refresh.
Metallic accents, sleek pendant lights and a bold black color palette come together in an unapologetically contemporary kitchen. Paired with a similarly chic dining room, the main kitchen is designed for entertaining, while a hidden pantry is ready to handle messy food prep.
Designers use woven furnishings and wicker to imbue spaces with organic, laid-back ambience. Here, a unique woven coffee table anchors a great room that exudes casual charm.
Classic symmetry never goes out of style. An entry boasts herringbone patterns both on the floor and ceiling, announcing the home’s updated interpretation of timeless European design.
St. George’s jaw-dropping landscapes are an ideal dinner party conversation starter. Floor-to-ceiling windows boast panoramic views, while glass doors open to the patio, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The interior’s soothing neutral palette allows the brilliant red rock mountains to take center stage.
2020 taught us that work-from-home spaces should be anything but boring. A colorful rug, striking geometric patterns, black accents and open shelves curated with accessories make a lively home office the secret star of the home.
Modern fireplaces anchored many of the Parade’s most arresting great rooms. This inviting space features a floating stone hearth and ribbon fire feature, adding a cozy yet contemporary finish.
Light-toned wood continues to dominate modern designs, and designers are finding creative ways to play with this staple. Continuous wall-to-ceiling wood slatting gives this kitchen a simple but eye-catching signature while visually delineating the room within an open floor plan.
Spaces for relaxation and self-care are more essential than ever. A luxurious bathroom features a freestanding tub complete with a wood tray bath caddy, an edgy light fixture from Wilkinson’s House of Lighting and plenty of room to rest and rejuvenate.
In our summer print issue, star designer Becki Owens said, “People are afraid of black, but there is something about it that adds an element of layering. If it isn’t too crazy, it can create depth by adding a punch.” She and other designers at this year’s parade took this philosophy to heart, using black accents to add drama and contrast to interiors.
Eclectic mixes of texture and pattern deepen décor, preventing rooms from feeling staid. A plush rug, cowhide ottomans and a plaid bedspread define a winningly idiosyncratic bedroom.
Social media stars Brad and Hailey Devine teamed with House of Jade Interiors to create their charming, personalized family home in South Jordan—and we can’t get enough of it. Fortunately, photographer Lindsay Salazar shot many beautiful photos, and we’ve gathered some of those that didn’t make it into our print feature story. Ready to be delighted?

“I wanted it to feel collected and lived in,” says homeowner Hailey Devine. She and husband Brad hired House of Jade Interiors’ Kirsten Krason and Erin Morgan to bring their vision to life. In the great room, a towering modern-style plastered fireplace teams with a live-edge cocktail table, woven cane-back chair, textured fabrics and a flourishing fiddle leaf fig.

The team cooked up many details in the charming kitchen. Concrete-look plaster dresses a back wall fronted by a simple range hood, white cabinetry and open shelves stacked with everyday dishes, art, and handmade pottery. The island is topped with Montclair White quartz and houses cabinets that store the children’s easy-to-access toys.

The team cloaked the home office in shiplap and dark charcoal paint. “We wanted it to feel separate from our home environment,” Hailey says. Too dark? Not according to Krason, who explains, “The color actually makes the room feel larger.”
