DRUM ROLL Forget the pandemic’s long-distance, design-by-Zoom meetings. For a certain type of interior design client, no detail is too small for consideration and a firsthand experience is the best means of communication. Rush Jenkins and Klaus Baer of WRJ Design took that idea and ran with it for their lavish passion project, the 25,000-square-foot multi-function headquarters, Stags Landing, just completed in their Jackson Hole, Wyoming, home. The living, breathing design lab at the base of Snow King Mountain brings together in one stupendous building: a luxurious designer showhouse, a high-tech office space and inspiring design studio for the WRJ team, an exquisite indoor-outdoor venue for private functions, a gallery space for consigned art from Jackson’s top art sources, and a lavish private residence. Kudos! (PC Roger Davies)

A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY When Country Living magazine looked to round up their “favorite country farmhouse kitchen ideas of all time,” it was a no-brainer to turn to Jeremiah Young. The Kibler & Kirch owner and creative director is known for his way with soulful and inspired real-West design. “They’re going to take a licking and get better and better with time,” Young told the magazine about his choice of custom cabinet panels in rough-hewn wood paired with two-inch-thick solid oak countertops for this new-build cabin that looks anything-but in Montana’s drop-dead gorgeous Paradise Valley. And the off-white vintage-inspired range and hood, plus porcelain tile backsplash, apron-front sink and milk glass pendants brighten the space while keeping the vibe mellow. (PC Audrey Hall)

GOOD LIVIN’ Aspen Design House’s Denise Taylor and Gigi Podolak Knox bring a fashion-forward, bespoke approach to every project. This award-winner they call “Good Livin’ Ranch” earned them not just a Luxe home feature, but also top billing in the magazine’s “Edit by Luxe” newsletter under the email Subject: Watch For The Elk Crossing At This Aspen Home🌲. Inspired interiors capture something of the rustic, broken-in-cowboy-boots feel of the home’s Elk Mountain-ringed Woody Creek community just outside Aspen, but translated into elegant, contemporary style – deftly combining elements of traditional Western (the homeowner husband’s preferred look) with contemporary lines and colors (the wife’s fave) in a fresh way.
