Adventure in Hide-Away Valley

Craig and I took an adventurous trip Yesterday out to Sanpete, UT. For those of you who don't know where that is, you could say that it's in between Manti, Price and the middle of nowhere.

I had a design in-home consultation with a client at their 24 bedroom lodge tucked away in Hide-Away Valley in Sanpete County.

I have never been so in awe of a space in my whole life. The project is going to be unreal!!

The lodge consists of four different houses (each coming in at least 4000 square feet) built and designed by a husband and wife and their three children. Each home was occupied by each of the married children and the parents. In the 80's, after 3 years, they moved to Arizona and put it up on the market for sale. After 18 years of renting it out, they sold it to the current owners. Needless to say, some of it was in pretty rough shape, but they have already done an incredible job of fixing it up.

It was incredible to go through each house and see the different flare and personality of each child's custom house, and then end with the Parents' home and grand ballroom.

The client is leaving out of a town for two weeks for St. Louis next week, so I am meeting Tuesday with the her at Home Depot to pick out paint, tile and a few other things for a bathroom so that the contractor can keep busy while she is away on business. In the meantime, I will be designing an entire house (Sunset, the home in the northwest corner) while she is gone. Wish me luck.
