Glimpses into our Canyon Pines mountain home 🙌

A mountain home doesn’t have to look like a “mountain home” to still have a strong sense of place.

Here, the landscape and architecture already do so much of that work, so we didn’t feel the need to lean too heavily into traditional mountain design. Instead, we brought in warmth through natural materials, layers of texture, and pieces that feel collected over time—mixed with a few more refined and sculptural moments.

It certainly helps when your clients have an incredible art collection gathered throughout their travels.

It’s that balance I’m always drawn to: mountain roots with a more contemporary sensibility.

We carried that approach through the furniture, art and final styling, always thinking about how each piece worked with the architecture and how the owners would actually live in the home.

Nothing needed to compete with the view. It just needed to feel like it belonged there.

Our little trip to Aspen 🐻🍸🍂🍁

Hey guys — I started a Substack.

I’ve been over here trying to get back into the good old SEO and marketing game with website posts and newsletters. But it turns out I’m an emotional and opinionated interior designer, and sometimes I want to write about what I actually want to write about… not just what Google wants me to write about.

So I wrote an essay about taste: where it comes from, why so many of us learn not to trust our own sense of style and what that means for the spaces we create. I’m sure some of that comes from my own childhood, when I pretended I didn’t have taste so I could fit in with all the cool mountain kids.

It was something I wanted to write for me, but maybe it will resonate with someone else too.

More to come. Perhaps I’ll even commit to a monthly cadence this time. Fingers crossed. Real life and client projects always come first. Those people pay for my time, after all. But I’m hoping to share more frequently.

Read Taste Is Felt, Not Learned at the link in my bio.

Do you think taste is something we’re born with or something we develop? Do some people have it and others don’t? What do you think?

Peace, love, chicken grease.

(I heard this in the movie The Pest FOREVER ago, and yeah, it stuck with me. And yes, The Pest was absolutely a movie my brother made me watch.)

I’ve been quiet on here. Like, almost a year quiet. But life has been full, and this summer I married Cole.

So, hello again. I’m Rebecca Rhodes now.

Many of you know me as Becca Wieronski—the name I built this studio under and one I’ll always be proud of. Rhodes feels pretty good, though.

I’ve missed sharing here. There’s a lot I want to show you: the work, the ideas and a few things that have been quietly taking shape behind the scenes.

It feels good to be back.

✨ Design is daring. Sometimes it’s restraint, sometimes it’s every color at once…. done with intention.

Design should feel a little impossible. The spaces we remember most are the ones that make us wonder

The entry should feel like arrival.
Loved being part of this lobby project during my time at CID, and it’s incredible seeing how thoughtfully it all came together.
The lighting, the finishes, the mood… they’re doing exactly what a lobby should do. Big kudos to the team who brought it to life. 🙌

Some spaces don’t just hold furniture… they hold you. They anchor you, open you, change the temperature of your mood. That’s the power of good design.

It’s fun to see that even shadows have their own architecture. Shifting changing evolving throughout the day.
