Christmas Decorating Ideas in Copper + Smoke + Chocolate Brown

Warm copper, smoke, and rich chocolate brown tones are adding the coziest elegant feel to our Santa Fe living room for this holiday season. With this new color palette and a gorgeous new flocked tree, this might be my all-time favorite Christmas look yet!!!! These colors really inspire feelings of warmth and relaxation, and create a sense of peace for me! As a top neutral, chocolate brown is one of those colors that plays very well with others. And I am so happy with. how perfectly it is pairing with the copper and smoke hues.

Anasazi Restaurant- Where I Send All Out Of Town Friends To

I never thought I would say this but after being in Santa Fe for almost 5 months now, it’s been surprisingly difficult for me to find quality along with consistency here when dining!! I tend to enjoy both and Anasazi Restaurant delivers every single time!

The Anasazi Restaurant, Bar & Lounge is inspired by Santa Fe’s rich cultural and culinary history. Menus showcase contemporary American cuisine inspired by local ingredients. Partnering with local farms and purveyors that provide guests with fresh, seasonal produce throughout the year. Chef Andre told me that this was a key factor in ensuring Anasazi used only the best products available.

Very Dated Powder Room Gets A Moody Reveal Featuring Murals Your Way.

The smallest room in the house can make the biggest design impact. You can go bold in powder rooms, that is you chance to break the continuity of a first floor’s décor and do something that surprises upon entry. A powder room is a great place in which to try out your riskiest design ideas, to use a bold wallpaper you’ve always wanted to try.

And this is what Lin and I decided to do in the first phase of the renovations, however ultimately he began to panic and had second thoughts about a statement wall covering!! Le sigh!

Explore Unique Treasures In Santa Fe-The Collective

Experience style and sophistication with The Collective, a high-end home furnishing store in Santa Fe, New Mexico. With their modern and edgy selection of furniture and decor, you can transform your home into something truly spectacular.

Over the last few months here in Santa Fe I’ve come to think of designing this home as a process that’s a bit evolving. It is sooo very different from the Tulsa space. Yet we are still very much dedicated to a minimalist aesthetic! However here in this Santa Fe home- I have realized that a minimal aesthetic doesn’t mean it has to feel cold or spare—our design approach is based on “warm minimalism” that incorporates lots of texture and materiality to make a home feel cozy.

HOW TO PLAN AND MEASURE FOR A GRID GALLERY WALL FEATURING FY!

Lin and I are finally in the last phases of this Santa Fe renovation and now we can finally concentrate on the decor element! This is the funnest part in my opinion and now it’s time to dress the walls a bit!

I personally love filling an empty wall with some very special pieces… as long as they are appropriately scaled for the space. And in our case, the primary suite just needed something on the wall that’s visible to visitors! So I partnered with FY! to create a gallery wall! But let’s be honest…I crave order and simplicity in the home--so we chose a grid-style gallery wall of similar, evenly spaced pieces! I think the grid-style also couples the drama and elegance of traditional gallery walls with sleek modern lines for an instantly luxurious interior which is just more my style. Symmetry and clean lines convey a modern look. Plus it’s high impact. All of the pieces come together to look like one big statement piece for that classic gallery wall look and I just really love how it looks.
