Exterior with views of fiery foliage in the fall, snowcapped mountains in the winter, and warm sunshine year-round, this home is truly one for all seasons // Photographed by Jared Kuzia
We are absolutely delighted to finally share one of the most unique projects the Moore House team has had the privilege of designing: The Rock & Roll Wayward Cabin in Telluride, Colorado, now gracing the pages of the January issue of Architectural Digest. This cabin, tucked high in the majestic peaks of Telluride, is a fusion of raw mountain beauty and effortless sophistication with a twist that defines our design philosophy—where rustic charm meets elevated elegance in the most unexpected of ways.
From the moment we connected with the homeowners—an adventurous couple from Los Angeles—it was clear this would be a truly special project. They envisioned a home that blended their bohemian rock ’n’ roll lifestyle with a mountain cabin's rugged, timeless allure. What we crafted together is a masterclass in balancing the authenticity of the cabin’s original structure with a rock ‘n’ roll design sensibility, resulting in a space that feels both timeless and distinctly of the moment.
We preserved the iconic log walls that define Telluride, reimagining them in a rich chocolate stain and a matching chinking that connects the indoors to the breathtaking mountain landscape. Inside, every room exudes luxury and warmth, with bespoke millwork, curated furnishings, and a rich mix of textures—from electric velvets to aged French limestone—that come together to tell a story of artistry and craftsmanship.
The Rock & Roll Wayward Cabin perfectly reflects its owners: a harmonious blend of rebellion and refinement where rock-and-roll energy meets unparalleled luxury. It’s an effortlessly chic space, brimming with personality, and ultimately a true sanctuary.
Let’s take a closer look inside this 4,600 sqft log cabin—nothing short of a labor of love.
— THE KITCHEN —
Kitchen Designed and Styled by Moore House Design, Photographed by Jared Kuzia
Our vision for this home was to unlock its full potential by crafting spaces that feel open, connected, and filled with natural light, where every detail enhances a sense of harmony. The challenge was to breathe life into what was once a characterless space, particularly the kitchen, by reworking its layout to improve the flow and create a seamless connection with the living and dining areas. We sought to open the space while preserving a strong sense of continuity throughout the home.
In its former state, the kitchen was dimly lit and lacked personality. Moore transformed this space by introducing a large picture window above the sink, framing the stunning mountainscape beyond and creating the sensation of floating among the treetops. To amplify this effect, she darkened the wall logs to a rich chocolate hue, enhancing the connection to nature. If you can believe it, the kitchen hood used to be right above the island, blocking the view. Custom BABY DROP pendants by Stahl + Band were added to softly illuminate the island and serve as delicate art pieces that glow as the sun sets. Along with Amber Interiors' Laura Wall Sconces, which were rotated 180º for a unique touch, the lighting softly envelops the room, bringing it to life in the evening hours.
The kitchen island is at the heart of this transformation, a striking sculptural piece that Moore co-designed with artist Peter Glassford. This brutalist-inspired island merges minimalist design with organic form, making it a true focal point in the room. The island’s bold presence is balanced by custom cabinetry, also created in collaboration with Glassford, whose natural fronts bring warmth and texture to the space.
The material choices throughout the kitchen were carefully curated to create both a beautiful and durable environment. The countertops feature Breccia Pontificia 2cm stone with a polished finish that contrasts beautifully against the organic elements in the space. The floors are finished in Aged French Limestone and laid in varied lengths to add a rustic, timeless quality that complements the modern design. Tadelakt walls, finished in Sherwin-Williams Shiitake (SW 9173), add a rich, earthy texture and a luxurious feel to the room.
A Kilim runner brings a burst of color and texture to the floor, offering a welcome contrast to the more muted tones and infusing the space with personality. Finally, the kitchen is outfitted with sleek wooden counter stools and a rope vine vase, finishing the look with texture, warmth, and character elements. Just off the kitchen is a bijou bar, highlighted by a dazzling OPIA wallpaper by House of Hackney. We wanted the millwork to mimic the profiles of the kitchen cabinets so that it would feel as though the kitchen was more expansive than it actually is.
Every detail of this space was thoughtfully considered—from the selection of materials to the seamless integration of design elements—ensuring the kitchen feels both expansive and inviting. By collaborating with local artisans and trusted sources, we were able to craft a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful. The result is a space that not only serves as the heart of the home but also evokes a sense of calm, connection, and timeless elegance.

Nestled between the kitchen and the main living room, the dining room is a central hub for connection with the heart of the home. Its thoughtful design bridges the energy of these spaces while maintaining its own distinct elegance.

— THE LIVING ROOM —
Living Room Designed and Styled by Moore House Design, Photographed by Jared Kuzia
Our goal for the living room was to strike a balance between minimal lighting and incorporating vintage details, all while maintaining a connection to the natural surroundings. We wanted to create a double-vaulted living room that feels light and airy yet retains a sense of cozy enclosure. To achieve this, we chose suspended pendants with glass globes that appear to float effortlessly in space. The pendants are suspended by small discs, illuminating the globe and casting a soft, ambient glow.
The design of the room embraces earthy tones and organic materials, with logs and stone generously adorning both the walls and ceilings. These natural elements not only reflect the surroundings but also create a sense of warmth and grounding throughout the space. The custom ROWEAM sofa serves as the anchor piece in the room. Its modular design can be divided into three sections, offering flexibility and comfort. This allows the sofa to seamlessly fit the layout while maintaining a sense of openness in the space.
Overhead, the Farol chandelier casts a soft halo over the room, creating an intimate and inviting atmosphere. It beautifully illuminates the Roweam Sabi coffee table, and the bespoke Roweam ottoman adorn with a vintage kilim rug. The walls are finished in Tadelakt with a Shiitake color (SW 9173), providing an earthy, smooth texture that enhances the room's organic feel. The vintage 1960s Tube Lamp from Italy nods mid-century design and adds a subtle but striking focal point in the corner.
The space is grounded by a custom Wool shag that MHD made with their friends in Nepal—and accented by a 1900s Antique French antler stool. The team completely reworked the fireplace mantle adorned with stone sourced from Utah and tadelakt plaster with a local artisan.

These carefully curated elements—along with the rich tones of a 20th-century Chinese Art Deco rug—work together to create an inviting and yet textured entry.
— THE PRIMARY SITTING ROOM —
Designed and Styled by Moore House Design, Photographed by Jared Kuzia
Our vision for the primary sitting room was to craft a space that feels like a warm cocoon—a retreat where you can truly escape. Moore envisioned a sanctuary designed for privacy and relaxation, with blackout custom linen drapery that creates a serene, enveloping atmosphere. “You can shut the door, draw the curtains, and become temporarily invisible,” she muses. This blackout effect isn’t just for solitude; it’s ideal for cozy movie nights.
To ground the space, we selected a 1970s De Sede DS-11 modular sofa in rich brown patchwork leather, perfectly positioned beneath the window to bask in soft, natural light. Complementing the sofa is a bespoke Sabine Maes sheepskin rug, offering texture and warmth underfoot. At the center of the room, a Rodger Capron coffee table serves as a sculptural focal point, its timeless design reflecting the balance between artistry and function.
Adding a touch of rustic charm, a 19th-century French antler stool subtly punctuates the space, blending history with modernity. The interplay of vintage elements, organic materials, and thoughtful details creates a sitting room that feels intimate, inviting, and timeless—a perfect embodiment of our ethos.

— THE SECONDARY BEDROOM —
Designed and Styled by Moore House Design, Photographed by Jared Kuzia
We crafted the second bedroom to embrace the breathtaking mountain views, allowing the natural beauty outside to take center stage. To complement this serene backdrop, we softened the space with thoughtfully curated elements. Devonshire wallpaper by Wells Abbott sets a tone of understated elegance, while Angela Brown curtains frame the windows beautifully. Walls painted in Sherwin-Williams’s Superior Bronze lend a grounding warmth that invites relaxation. The client had this vintage iron French bench upholstered in a cotton cheetah print that they loved so we designed the room to work with her.
The centerpiece is a custom-designed bed featuring an upholstered and oak headboard, flanked by table lamps from Zara Home that provide soft, ambient light. A 1950s French novelty chair adds a charming vintage touch, completing a space that feels timeless, calming, and deeply personal.
The bathroom continues the story of warmth and sophistication. Golden zellige tile and Sherwin-Williams’s Caramel Corn envelop the room in rich, reflective tones, creating a cocoon-like effect. Daisy floor tiles introduce a gentle contrast, softening the darker hues with a subtle geometric play.
A custom-designed vanity showcases our attention to detail, while a bespoke mirror brings an element of sparkle, elevating the space with quiet luxury.
We believe in creating spaces that connect deeply with their surroundings while offering comfort and elegance. The second bedroom and bathroom reflect this ethos, blending timeless craftsmanship with modern sensibility to create spaces that feel like true retreats.
