I love the simple cleanliness of contemporary homes. No clutter – just sweeping elegant lines, white-washed walls, and lots of beautiful, naturally soft light. They are a blank canvas for the home owner to create a universe of art, color and style.

A few weeks ago, I was hired to shoot just such a home. Built by the talented Bend custom home builder, Hansmann & Sons Construction, and styled by the ever-amazing Pamela Armstrong at Complements Home Interiors, this home’s clean lines perfectly embrace the exciting pieces of art that permeate the house.

What’s most amazing however is the blend of styles: Contemporary and Western. Having myself contributed images to Thea Marx’s book Contemporary Western Design, I am familiar with the concept of pairing a modern shell with often old-fashioned pieces of Western art.
This home however has achieved a rare and stunning combination of the both. But don’t listen to me – see for yourself…

And of course to see the entire interior, go here.
