Reading Veranda...

featuring Carolyne Roehm's latest project in Aspen had me wondering what else the glitzy Rocky Mountain town was designing. Here are some homes I found...

It is refreshing to see a mountain home that isn't stuffed with antlers, heavy velvet and dark colors. Like Roehm's project and the above house- you can create an equally inviting mountain retreat with an all white palette or a sleek, modern slant- like this home:

Fall Colors in California

Gracie wallcovering panels, ivory velvet and rich browns are soothing and ready to be dressed for dinner parties.

Plum, celadon and chocolate brown are warm, cozy and perfect against this woven wallcovering.

Navy, grey and more rich browns in the master bedroom suite keep this palette consistent while introducing a twist from room to room.

With the fire adding warmth, the neutrals are subtle with pops of celadon and brass lingering from the adjacent study.

I think Spitzmiller & Norris are in the top ten best architecture firms in the country. They understand architecture and space but they also have great taste and style. They blend old and new seamlessly- it's truly tough to tell where their additions begin and the historic space ends.
