The Humble with the Splendid



When interviewed for a thirteen page spread in Utah Homes & Garden Magazine, I was asked what my design philosophy was in building our new Country Home




That's easy,  The Humble with the Splendid




Utah Homes and  Garden

Some People like Silver, I LOVE Gold





I also Love my French and Italian Chandeliers





This is the other gold mirror, this time without the base.  I can't believe that we transported both mirrors in our old truck.  They arrived without a scratch.


Have a great weekend, my dear Blogging Friends

  1. Congratulations, Gina! The beauty and charm of your house will doubtlessly make for one of the most popular editions of the magazine. Did they use the montage format in the magazine, too?

  3. Hello Mark, The montage series I did yesterday, walking around my house. The straight photographs, for the magazine, were shot a few years ago by a very talented photographer, Mikel Covey. My "reproductions" don't do them justice.
