My recent drive over from Aspen to the Riverwalk in Edwards was beautiful because of all the snow Colorado has had this year.  Sparkling frost on the trees along the river and white snow all around truly looked like a winter wonderland.

Slifer Designs draws you in immediately with the first vignette you see when you walk in their retail store in Edwards because it’s reminiscent of a cozy cabin in the woods.   You’re inspired to take a sleigh ride to a remote cabin on a mountain-top for hot chocolate and good conversation with friends.

I’m also inspired by their use of abstract art with classic contemporary designs that work in the mountains or any upscale home.  I love the black and white images as you enter their bedroom vignette, as well as the beautiful gold disks on the wall.  The minimal Italian sketch of feathers, with the mix of leather and warm Nordic throws and pillows is an example of how abstract art can work in any setting.  In the last photo below, your senses are stimulated with the combination of textures and patterns placed together.  Whether you’re building a home, remodeling or just sprucing up your place, Slifer Designs is an inspiration for the season and for a home with lasting sophistication.
