A bit of good karma allowed a creative family of three to infuse a dated home in Santa Fe with new life.
THE GARDEN
Surrounded by a year-round vegetable patch, this relaxed, grassy dining area is where everyone gathers when the party is outdoors. Plates and vases: Mrs. Alice. Tablecloth: Sister Parish. Chairs: vintage, Chairish. A bit of good karma allowed a creative family of three to infuse a dated home in Santa Fe with new life.
DESIGN TEAM (and married couple) Heather and Matt French never thought they would leave the home they had built from the ground up. But when their only child, Isla, switched schools and the commute ballooned to nearly an hour each way, the Frenches knew they needed a new place.
