We always like to bring some Mother Nature and natural elements into the spaces we decorate. Sumac is our new favorite. It's fragile and fluid, but it can also be a little bit frightening with the crooks and hooks. Nothing scary about this chandelier we made from sumac branches! Pink with the hanging lanterns ... it's a showstopper!

When full-time Massachusetts residents contemplate building a second home in Telluride, Colorado the question immediately arises; does it make most sense to hire a regionally based Rocky Mountain architect or a sea level architect conveniently located for all of the rigorous collaboration required for successful bespoke home design. Determined to prove the latter true, Siemasko + Verbridge accompanied the potential client as they scoured the undulating Telluride landscape in search of the perfect house site. The selected site’s harmonious balance of untouched meadow rising up to meet the edge of an aspen grove and the opposing 180 degree view of Wilson’s Range spoke to everyone. A plateau just beyond a fork in the meadow provided a natural flatland, requiring little excavation and yet the right amount of upland slope to capture the views. The intrinsic character of the site was only enriched by an elk trail and snake-rail fence. Establishing the expanse of Wilson’s range would be best served by rejecting the notion of selected views, the central sweeping curve of the roof inverts a small saddle in the range with which it is perfectly aligned. The soaring wave of custom windows and the open floor plan make the relatively modest house feel sizable despite its footprint of just under 2,000 square feet. Officially a two bedroom home, the bunk room and loft allow the home to comfortably sleep ten, encouraging large gatherings of family and friends. The home is completely off the grid in response to the unique and fragile qualities of the landscape. Great care was taken to respect the regions vernacular through the use of mostly native materials and a palette derived from the terrain found at 9,820 feet above sea level.

Edible daylilies come in a variety of colours - you can have cool colours, hot colours, even bi-colours to spice up your landscape and your plate! Wouldn't this cool refreshing bloom be lovely decorating a dessert/tropical plate? Despite their fragile looks, daylilies are drought-tolerant once established, and their can also do well in a rainstorm.

A progress shot showing some of the amazing textures that result from heat being applied to steel combined with rust. Gorgeous but temporary, these 'bark-like' flakes are very fragile; almost powdery.

Create a space in your home that is perfect for both parent and child. Modern and classy for Mom, and low and reachable for child. The board books love the bottom shelf, where little ones can learn to be responsible and put them away themselves; while the books with more fragile pages are safe and secure several shelves above.
