In early December, Senior Designer Jan Smith and I headed up to June Lake to meet with a client at the site where construction has begun on their mountain home.
We had worked for this Orange County-based client a few years ago, doing the remodel for their primary home. I was happy to hear from them recently, especially when they told me that they wanted me to design the lodge they were currently building. I was excited to hear that they had only started framing the 5,000 sq. ft. property, which meant that they called at the right time. So many people are unaware that it is best to get the interior designer involved before construction has been completed, but this couple knew what they were doing.
Jan and I prepared for our trip, more than a little anxious that a big storm was heading for the Eastern Sierras. Jan and I, being from south Orange County, are weather wimps. Walking a building site at the best of times in December can be cold, let alone when there’s snow on the ground!

The mountain lodge, although unfinished, is beautiful, and the trip definitely gave Jan and I the opportunity to become inspired by the colors and textures of nature, the mountain vistas and the peace and quiet that you can only achieve by being so far from “civilization.”
We also had the opportunity to discuss the plans with our clients on site, which is essential to a smooth-running project—and happy clients!

Happy New Year, from all of us at LRM Interior Design!
