Utah Style & Design Feature

Small Space, BIG Personality.

I am incredibly honored to be featured in the Winter edition of Utah Style & Design. This project holds a special place for me as it marks my first collaboration with Tally Stevens and Rustin Owens of Curios Homess. Seeing our work together picked up by such a prestigious publication makes the experience even more rewarding.

The space itself was a dream to photograph—full of character and unique details. A huge thank you to the owner, Taylor Lamont, who was the perfect host and made the entire shoot a breeze.

A small excerpt from the article:

To bring the luxury condo to life, Lamont called in designers Tally Stevens and Rustin Owens, principals of Curios Homes, giving them full creative freedom to turn the characterless box into something that reflects his outgoing personality, love of art and the new chapter ahead.

Working closely with Lamont, Stevens and Owens envisioned a home that is anything but beige. They layered stone, pattern and personality into every corner, turning the modest condo into a master class in small-space design. The living area sets the tone with its mix of art, texture and bold, full-scale furnishings that make the space feel substantial rather than small. "Fewer, large-scaled pieces are better than smaller, cluttered pieces," Stevens explains. What had once been a blank TV wall now holds a custom built-in cabinet-painted in a rich taupey clay tone-designed to house Lamont's record collection and provide concealed storage.
