Life in Your Space | Labor of Love

The darling owners behind this (equally darling) Rose Park rambler are packing up and heading back east. To celebrate and send them on their way, we were happy to stop by for one last hurrah...

Enjoying the fruits of their labors was an added bonus...

There are some serious green thumbs in this household, and the tomatoes harvested from this city garden are bound to beat out even your farmers market’s best. But the fruits here aren’t only of the literal sense: it’s remarkable how removing that wall opened up the space, and the natural light adds to the airiness of this lovely spot. For our part though, we’ll happily post up on the back deck for as long as we’re allowed. These two are as unique and beautiful as the fingerprints they’ve let upon the legacy of this home, and we think this casa—just like SLC—is better off for having housed them for a time. As for us, we can’t wait to see who this space holds next!

This is a love letter about what I do and why I do it. I first met Scott & Chris just over a year ago. At the time, they were living in another state, one in which they’d loved but had, over time and for personal reasons, grown disillusioned with. It was high time for a fresh start. When we first...
