Sundance Film Festival is a time our area fills with interesting people. In addition to seeing the films and the discussions that follow, one of my favorite things about the yearly event is casual conversation with strangers. It just starts with questions like, “What have you seen that is interesting? Or, Have you just arrived?” Soon there are stories.
Last week I extended my best effort to attract a big blanketing snowstorm by featuring photos taken in the snow. While still hopeful big snows will still arrive, this week I am thinking about being somewhere else other than the Wasatch Back.
As someone who has lived at high elevations along the Wasatch Back off and on since 1968, I am very concerned about no snow. For once, I was ready. I pruned, I cleaned out rain gutters, I put the snow shovels by the door, I bought ice melt, and still there is no snow.

It’s the first week of January, and at risk of sounding like a cliché, I’m looking back and reflecting on the year.
The first image is an easy one to stare at this time of year. It’s the portico of one of the Honeymoon...
I’m a guy who prefers things a little over the top, and therefore, I adore the holidays. Moderation gets set aside with the sweets, snacks, parties, music, and, of course, decorations.
I concluded last week that there is always a place for classic design, and so this week, I get to repeat myself. The featured home is in the Park Meadows neighborhood in Park City. Both the architectural design and the interiors are by Park City’s Elliott Work Group.
As a reminder of the beautiful autumn we enjoyed this year, this week I'm featuring a home we photographed on a slightly nippy and breezy day this October. Looking at the seclusion of the lot and the privacy of the home, I wonder how many of you are able to guess the location.
The American Society of Interior Designers has awarded Salt Lake City based Design Plus, Inc. and owner Kaye Christiansen Englert, the Intermountain Chapter award for Best Kitchen. The project is a new, modern home located in Holladay.
Anne-Marie Barton (AMB) Design’s quiet take on a mountain home remodel in Glenwild yields a soft and relaxing home environment.
When observing architecture, one can see how buildings mix the designer’s concept with the client’s decisions. To really observe a creative designer’s talent, the project has to be one where the client offers complete freedom, or the designer is also the client. Michael Upwall’s new offices in Sugarhouse afforded that opportunity.
