Historic Remodel | Well Done
Every now and again someone perfectly executes a historic remodel, and this is just such a time. It’s even rarer that a historic remodel is done so fabulously that we find ourselves bound to sharing it with you.

Modern Tour | Olympus Cove
Until the day of the event, Salt Lake Modern [a division of the Utah Heritage Foundation] typically keeps the homes on their tours pretty close to the vest. It’s sneaky, and we love it. Oh, but lucky for you all, I happen to be on the board, so I know a thing or two about …

Spring Art Adoption | Four Corners

Having raised the funds via Kickstarter to complete his Four Corners Project, friendly Señor Scheuerman has recently returned from …

LAYERS | A Nikki Breedlove Benefit
A Celebration of Life & the Community that Surrounds Us This is near and dear, to put it lightly. As many/most know, our close friend, Nikki Breedlove, came to within an inch of life when she was hit by a car in New York in February. For nearly a month, she fought in the ICU …

UMOCA POP | Featured Artists
COLLECTIVE friends of ours know damn well that we love our local artists. Amidst the hardworking and upcoming artists of SLC are those long-standing, established talents whose collections demand hefty price tags. We feel equally proud of both. A wise friend once warned me, “don’t confuse value with price”, and this event marks the perfect …

AIGA 100 Show Gala
We were in COLLECTIVE attendance at the AIGA 100 Show Gala, which was obviously an ace way to spend our evening. Design aside, the gathering included a mash-up of creative and friendly folks shaking hands and drinking merrily atop the Leonardo building. Nice to have a view while you do all that. But back to …

High West Distillery | Cheers
I’ve always been fascinated with ‘the west’, clichés included. The cowboys, mountain men, and possibility of adventure can hold my attention without a hitch. Salt Lake has more than a touch of these dusty elements, and my inaugural sip of High West Double Rye had it in spades. Sit up straight, cross your god damn …
