We recently wrapped up our “Best of Mountain Living” Issue—look for it on newsstands August 3. Creating the issue gave us the chance to pore over piles of past issues of Mountain Living, pulling those designs and photos we love best, and then editing the mix one step further to bring you the very best of the best in high-country home design. Here’s a little teaser from the issue: ML’s editorial team shares some of our all-time favorite designs and why we love them. Let these images inspire you, and don’t miss the issue when it hits newsstands.
Holly Scott, Publisher: “This Whistler home literally reaches new heights of modern luxury. I’m so drawn to the way it lights up on the side of the mountain. It’s the grown-up version of a treehouse.”
Christine DeOrio, Editor in Chief: Christine DeOrio, Editor in Chief: “This magical scene seems like a fairytale come to life. Photographer Gordon Gregory waited for the perfect light before taking this shot—and he captured it.” Click here to see more photos of this home.
Loneta Showell, Art Director: “I love the mix of textures in this dining room. From the warm, wooden barrel-vaulted ceiling to the chairs upholstered in chocolate-brown velvet, it all just works.”
“In this first shot, natural grasses will stand in for a fabric drape,” says Loneta. “A selection of tiebacks in different materials—stacked almost like bangles on the arm—will show off the options available today, which are much more interesting than the twisted satin rope that usually comes to mind.”
