The Aspen house known as Happy Hill is exactly as the name suggests-a joyful respite from the world, with enviable views. It's here that Patrick Mele, an ELLE DECOR A-List designer, recently outfitted a home for his client Sarah Kennedy Flug. A resident of Aspen for 27 years, the former actress bought the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill-designed house in 2020.
She brought on Mele, on the advice of a mutual friend, together with architect Mark Noel. "I was looking for a decorator passionate about color who knows all the rules and how to break them," Flug says. She and Mele clicked. Soon they were laughing at each other's jokes and finishing one another's sentences.
In the 1970s and '80s this petite blond dynamo was a performer with comedic flair, a regular on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
