"Big Sky is known for magnetizing clients who entertain big ideas."

Since being introduced to the community, Bea has been utilized for private design consultations, pop-up parties, Realtor open houses, and community events.

“While each vignette tells its own story, it immerses you into a sensual experience – music, pleasant aromas, unique textures and patterns – sparking a conversation about every element of that design,” Kraner said.

“People need to see it, touch it,” Wilkins said. “They need to test it out so they have the confidence to bring it into their homes.” That’s what Big Sky hopes to do. The bold uses of color are combined with the latest styles, local art, and antiques.

The marriage of original 19th century qualities to a very 21st century lifestyle is simultaneously romantic and contemporary. "I didn't want it to be new," Jo says. "I want it to tell a story."

By blending in color, form, and function throughout the spaces, we created a space that is inviting, exciting, and a reflection of our client’s own style and culture.

The Big Sky Shop + Studio will offer swatch books, wallpaper, and fabric samples; but it will also feature curated vignettes driven by varying themes or color stories—designed to create conversation and to inspire ideas for people's homes.

From entertaining family in their ample guest space, to sitting in the common area and enjoying the beautiful colors and custom touches such as their window seat and draperies, they could not be happier. “It feels warm and cozy,” Yvonne says. “It feels like family.”
