Su Casa Northern New Mexico 6.16

When other parts of the country are hunkering down, New Mexicans are outdoors, embracing the snow, the blue skies, and the beauty of the Land of Enchantment. They’re also taking the time to make improvements to their homes. In the Winter 2015 issue of Su Casa, we’ll visit two gorgeous complete remodels in Albuquerque and an ultra-green home in Santa Fe. We’ll round up some impressive entry gates that make grand entrances and check out reproductions of timeless, midcentury modern chairs that looks as great today as they did years ago. Power couple Jennifer James and Nelle Bauer of ABQ-favorite restaurant Jennifer James 101 invite us into their kitchen, and we’ll get tips from celebrity columnists Steve Thomas and Moll Anderson on the realities of remodeling. Vida Buena explores the best ski deals in Northern New Mexico and takes us on a trip down Historic Route 66, the Southwest’s iconic Mother Road.
