A few weekends ago my adorable friends from my Interior Design program and I decided we needed a trip South to the sunshine & would incorporate some design into the trip. The weekend worked perfect so that we could see the St. George, UT parade of homes and also head to Las Vegas for some shopping, design inspiration & yummy food.
One of the first homes we visited was a large vacation home on a hill that overlooked the red rock plateaus of the area. It consisted of four large suites, the biggest kitchen I've seen and some amazingly beautiful features.
Another home we visited was smaller, but beautifully designed by Alice Lane (Orem, UT). They have such great taste in color combinations, textures, and creating a serene calm environment.
The last home we visited was by far the most stunning of the bunch. It boasted beautiful views out of every window, stunning features, inventive designs, and amazing lighting fixtures.

Don't you love the railing? It was so innovative to place artsy pillars and added the clear plastic rods. I thought they really thought outside the box and created a piece of art for the staircase.
As I said, each room had amazing views to the red rock & back pool area.
The key to a great space is lighting, the use of lighting in this home was fabulous. They used it to help emphasize the unique features and detials of the home.
Don't you just want to sink into this tub and relax? The designers created a bathroom that felt like a personal spa, where you know you could relax and enjoy the views.
The sink was my favorite custom detail. Amanda Jones created a design so that the water would come from a faucet into one pool of water and drip down the side into another draining sink. It was stunning!
We had a blast, and learned that there is no limit to the amount of creativity that can go into a space to make it personal, beautiful and most importantly functional for the user.
