Style Folsom & El Dorado Hills; September 2018
Whether it’s the work perks, camaraderie with fellow co-workers, or a passion for the business’ product or service, there are many components that play into a company’s “cool” factor. Where we live, we’re lucky to have a ton of places that meet all the criteria above, plus more, which was the inspiration behind this month’s feature. Starting on page 53, you can read about 20 places headquartered here that anyone would be lucky to work at. Some have been around for over a century, others started small and are now internationally known, and a few have dog-friendly digs or do impressive amounts of community service. I’m pretty positive there’s a company, and office culture, that’ll strike a chord with you. And if you happen to be job hunting, word on the street is some are currently hiring! Wherever you’re at in your professional or personal journey, let this issue be a reminder that it’s never too late to flip the script and try something new. Cheers!

Ski Chalet Chic<br />
As winter approaches, the cozy<br />
ski chalet look is perhaps the<br />
most inviting of all, especially in a<br />
bedroom. But you don’t need snow<br />
falling outside to achieve this look.<br />
Start with natural materials, lots<br />
of texture, and a neutral palette of<br />
winter whites, ivories, and creams;<br />
then sprinkle in some taupe-y<br />
browns and greys in varying shades to add interest and depth of<br />
color. Though tartan plaids and blanket stripes have a long history<br />
in ski homes and lodge styling, introducing them in these softer<br />
colors instantly updates the look.<br />
Canyon Road<br />
If you’ve chosen to create a<br />
modern desert oasis in your<br />
room, pick bedding that reflects<br />
the warm, muted colors and<br />
intricate design elements that are<br />
part of Southwestern style. Fans<br />
of this look want to create rooms<br />
that feel spacious, tranquil,<br />
and in harmony with nature.<br />
The color palette itself shows a<br />
great appreciation for the subtle,<br />
natural tones found in stones,<br />
sand, soil, local plants, and the<br />
sky (i.e., creamy whites and tans paired with burnt orange and<br />
rust tones). There’s also a definite element of texture involved in<br />
this aesthetic, which is key to honoring the importance it places<br />
on natural materials and handiwork and can easily be achieved<br />
with a coarsely woven bedcover or the dense softness of blankets<br />
and throws.<br />

Fashion Forward<br />
Encompassing a vibe that<br />
combines high-end fashion<br />
runways, street chic, and the<br />
hottest new trends, this style’s<br />
décor might include an eclectic<br />
mix of animal prints, richly<br />
colored velvets, and quirky boho<br />
florals, while also highlighting<br />
contrast and graphics in an<br />
artful way. By definition, you’re<br />
aiming for a look that’s more<br />
modern than what’s currently<br />
considered fashionable, so this<br />
style appeals to those with<br />
confidence, a love of fashion,<br />
and a laser focus on the finer<br />
details.<br />
