Maison: Idahoan Rustic Chic Winter Retreat

Can you imagine my excitement when I heard the news of a friends winter-home in Idaho, I was so fortunate to visit last winter, is gracing the cover of December's Elle Decor? Out on news stands today!
Marie (in the middle), her mother and sister form the trio of M. Elle Design - where home decor, art and antique consulting is at its finest - and this home is proof. 
Everything in this home was hand picked or personally designed by the ladies above. The carefully curated furniture, blankets, centerpieces and art were inspired by bringing out the outdoor organic beauty to the indoors to create a cozy, relaxed, and luxurious environment.
The dining room with custom made steel bookcases, reclaimed wood, and oak dining table.
Driftwood chandelier, wicker chairs, and a view of the Big Wood River and Sawtooths.
The guest room where we stayed overlooked the Big Wood River. Waking up to the smell of snow, and the sound of a trickling river was complete heaven! 
This is not your normal bunk room  - luxurious linens, pillows, and windows with a view. 
The game room was the centerpiece of the apres' ski action. 

For more photos and the full article The Peak of Rustic Chic - visit Elle Decor. Its a well done article demonstrating Marie and her families creative sensibilities. Marie is also quite the Elle Decor darling! Named this year as Elle Decor's "5 Interior Designers to Watch" - read her other contribution: The Top Ten Bar Carts. Congrats Marie! Well deserved. 

Readers stay tuned for more on Marie. Im really excited to be attending her summer wedding in SunValley at this very home, which I will be sure to post pics here (with her permission of course!)
