Chic Mountain Decor
Posted: July 10, 2013 Filed under: Interior Design, Jackson Hole, Uncategorized | Tags: mountain chic, mountain decor, rustic decor 1 CommentGuest Blogger: Hallie
We’ve been in Jackson Hole now almost a week having a great time relaxing and enjoying the outdoors – I even saw a bear with her two cubs while out on a hike (from afar), it was beautiful yet quite scary to see all at once.
We’ve visited with friends and attended a few parties as well while here and I have been able to see some fantastic examples of chic mountain décor. I know there are some die-hard mountain traditionalist who revel in heavy wood, rustic animal motifs and dark fabrics while designing a mountain home but there is something about adding in lighter more contemporary touches that really can boost a mountain home to the next level.
Here are some of my favorite examples of chic mountain décor.
I love these bedrooms, even though it gets pretty warm during the day its great to find a cozy place to read or sleep:
These spaces would be ideal for hosting a dinner party or to have a relaxing family dinner:
How great would it be to relax in this tub after a long day of hiking, ideally this tub would come with a fantastic view of the mountains:
Hope everyone is having a great week!!

Hope everyone had a great 4th!!
One of my favorite places here in Jackson to grab a quick bite to eat for a quiet breakfast or after a long hike is actually at the Jackson Whole Grocer. They have a fantastic Smoothie and Tonic/Juice bar as well as healthy freshly made prepared foods.
My favorite green juice is the Clean Machine, made from active greens to revitalize and cleanse: Kale, carrot, cucumber, lemon, with your choice of parsley or wheatgrass, I also add some ginger to mine. This can easily be made at home with an extra strength blender or a vitamix, once ingredients are blended just strain and drink!
If I’m looking for something a little more substatial I go for the Blue Lips with spinach: Blueberries, spinach, banana, almond milk, blueberry-pomegranate juice. This along with a bowl of oatmeal is my go to breakfast treat.
When looking for something decadant, especially after a long hike I love the Banff Express: Banana, espresso, almond butter, Kakow chocolate syrup, almond milk. YUM!
After a day of all these healthy drinks by cocktail hour I’m ready to dig in to my husbands delicious pimento cheese dip!
Would love to hear about some of your favorite smoothie and go to juice recipes!
Heading out to Jackson Hole!

We leave tomorrow for Jackson Hole for a couple of weeks. Although known as a winter ski haven visiting in the summer months are my favorite and its a great escape from the Dallas heat! I’m looking forward to long bike rides, hiking, yoga, the farmers market in town and just being outdoors and enjoying all the fresh air – along with fun family parties and dinners out:)
The mountains have a calming effect and the architecture often reflects this through the prevalent organic designs and landscapes in the homes here. We are staying in a beautiful Jonathan Foote designed home minutes away from the Snake River and on its own little tributary with stunning views of the Tetons. Jonathan Foote is well-known for designing homes that “walk softly on the land”, his designs are not only innovative but typically require old world craftmanship and are always environmentally sensitive. Below are some of the gorgeous homes he has created throughout the years. You can read more about Jonathan Foote here:

Ritz Dining Chair
Posted: February 4, 2013 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors 2 CommentsI really like this Thomas Pheasant ritz dining chair. I love the nail trim and tufting, but I especially love the ornamental (I wonder if its functional as well?) pull ring on the backside of it. The style looks so sleek and modern, but it actually looks really comfortable too.
I’m kind of obsessed with this entire room… the chairs, the chandelier, the degournay walls…
Grasscloth
Posted: December 14, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: grasscloth wallpaper, Wallpaper 1 CommentGrasscloth wallpaper is one style that I am thrilled to see return. The study in my childhood home (…back in the 80s!) had grasscloth walls and I remember thinking it was so on trend and cool at the time. Sadly, this style phased out for a couple of decades, but I am so glad to see it popping up all over the place again. Currently, I am loving grasscloth of every colors!
Claw Foot Bathtub
Posted: December 11, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: Bathtub, Claw Foot Bathtub Leave a commentOne of the things I miss most about living in an “actual home” is taking a bath in my own bathtub. I love taking baths but there is something not-so-appealing about bathing in a rental (regardless of how immaculate the bathroom in your rental may be…) I have always been obsessed with claw foot bathtubs and latey I have been dreaming of the day I will have one of my own!
If this was my bathroom, I would never leave…

Is there a girl out there who doesn’t dream of owning a claw foot bathtub?
Cochrane Design: Grey, Black & White
Posted: December 9, 2012 Filed under: Accessories for the Home, Architecture, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors 2 CommentsI have always been a sucker for greys, neutrals and any kind of muted or understated design. Recently, I stumbled upon this gorgeous London home that just took my breath away. I love everything about this design scheme – its calm and warm, yet dramatic and interesting. I obviously love the grey, black and white theme, but I also really like the unexpected dark blue study as well!
…Oh and “Jack’s Room” is just too good! LOVE IT!

Oscar de la Renta – FKO

I cannot get over this beautiful little collection spotted on the Oscar de la Renta runway. His timeless elegance translates wonderfully to his children’s collection. I can hardly wait until the day when I can wrap up my baby boy in one of those precious pink blazers.
Balmain Paris
Posted: September 18, 2012 Filed under: Architecture, Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors | Tags: Balmain Paris 2 CommentsI have always been a huge fan of Balmain, but after seeing these beautiful images of the interior of their Paris store, I am truly obsessed. I love the extravagant details and elongated lines in each and every corner of their shop. The whole concept is minimal and classic, while perfectly luxurious.
My favorite things…
Posted: September 10, 2012 Filed under: Interior Decorating, Interior Design, Interiors 1 CommentThere are a few things that I always tend to gravitate towards when it comes to interior design. First and foremost, I love pale grey paint. I love it on walls, I love it on ceilings, I love it just about anywhere. Another thing I can’t live without is dark hardwood floors (especially when paired with paint of my favorite greyish hue!) Finally, I like things clean, simple and somewhat minimal.
This room wraps up all my favorite things in one big bow.
