"When San Francisco-based surgeon Jocelyn Chapman and her husband, entrepreneur Mike Driscoll, purchased a quirky Alpine-style A-frame in Soda Springs, California, during the pandemic, they envisioned it as a restorative escape for their young family. With two small children and a revolving cast of friends they hoped to host, the couple wanted a place that felt relaxed, functional, and closely connected to the landscape. "The foliage is so different from San Francisco," Peterson explains. "Without being heavy handed, we wanted to create an experience that highlighted the natural surroundings.""
"That connection shows up in the house's color blocking, graphic textiles, and floral motifs, many of which nod to the changing seasons. Gregory Parkinson blankets, Svenskt Ten pillows, and Lake August wallpapers introduce a lively but grounded palette. Peterson also let art shape several rooms: a large mixed-media work by Tia Keobounpheng-her first purchase for the project-sets the tone in the living area, echoing bursts of color throughout the 17-foot-tall space, while commissioned wildflower paintings by Bekah Worley reinforce the home's indoor-outdoor dialogue."
A family purchased an Alpine-style A-frame in Soda Springs as a restorative escape for young children and guests. The design emphasizes a close relationship with the dramatic setting of pine trees, snow, and seasonal wildflowers. Color blocking, graphic textiles, and floral motifs reflect the landscape and its changing seasons. Sourced pieces include Gregory Parkinson blankets, Svenskt Ten pillows, and Lake August wallpapers, while art by Tia Keobounpheng and commissioned wildflower paintings by Bekah Worley reinforce the indoor-outdoor dialogue. Pandemic timing and supply-chain delays prompted reliance on retail finds, which were integrated strategically to maintain comfort and cohesion.
