We fell on the portfolio of interior designer, Laura Fedro Interiors and spotted this stunning mountain rustic home she helped to create in Big Sky, Montana. This private residence is surrounded by forest, boasting dramatic mountain views of the Spanish Peaks. Consisting of 6,000 square feet of living space, the dwelling boasts three bedrooms and a guest barn on the property. The guest barn allowed the homeowners the opportunity to have guests visit without having to open up their main residence.

The majority of the interior walls features hand-hewn log walls, as does the exteriors walls, while round logs were used for the rafters, trusses and posts. Reclaimed materials were used to give the home an historic reference to the past and a connection to the site. These selected materials would continue to age gracefully with time. The homeowners selected a lighter palette for the flooring and trim to keep the home feeling bright and airy.
The homeowners wished for warmth and comfort in their spacious cabin. Instead of having one large, open plan, the home unfolds in a series of livable spaces, framing breathtaking views. There is also ample outdoor living spaces, which includes a screened-in porch with a dining table and fireplace. There are open porches and patios that provide sweeping views over a pond and waterfall. The water attracts animals to the property, adding the natural environment.
The designer selected quality furnishings throughout the home, but nothing that you can’t put your feet on. The concept was to have comfortable living spaces for the whole family to enjoy.
What We Love: This mountain rustic home offers plenty of warmth and comfort through the heavy use of wood. The interiors feel light and airy thanks to expansive windows that frames the picture perfect views surrounding this home. Living spaces invites you to curl up and relax while enjoying this tranquil environment. The designer has done a beautiful job of creating a timeless interiors scheme to welcome family and friends.
Readers, what are your thoughts on this home, are there any details that you would have done differently in the interior design?
