This New Book Is A Charming Love Letter To The Mountains

Next time you’re snowed in, reach for a copy of Kathryn O’Shea-Evans’ new tome, Alpine Style: Bringing Mountain Magic Home. It’s a charming love letter to life in the mountains from a transplanted New Yorker who now makes her home in Colorado’s Front Range.

Inspired by her experience as owner and decorator of a high-country getaway named Skytop Mountain House, O’Shea-Evans spins readers on a round-the-world tour of cozy chic mountain chalets, cabins, lodges and resorts. “I wanted Alpine Style to feel like a fairy tale,” she says. Organized by season and focusing on interior design, the book interweaves personal stories with offbeat suggestions for seasonal decor—including scavenging for vintage ski goggles and framing them in a shadow box—along with tips for flower arranging, choosing a faux-fur blanket and tempting recipes including lemon soufflé pancakes from Aspen’s The Little Nell.
