[Inside the new Tellwell, Downtown Fargo]Story by Katie Beedy Photography by M.Schleif Photography  There is something about a campfire that inspires the best stories. Ancient civilizations congregated around open flames not just to cook their food, but to unleash their imaginations and pass on their histories. At summer camps, exchanging nightmare-inducing ghost stories over the campfire is considered a rite of passage. Maybe it’s the cover of darkness, the communal act of gathering twigs for kindling, or the hypnotizing dance of the flame itself—whatever the explanation, it’s undeniable that the most tantalizing tales emerge when we gather around a fire. If you're on the hunt for the ultimate storytellers in campfire-inspired culture, look no further than Tellwell's marketing agency in their new location at 1213 NP Avenue in Downtown Fargo.

[Ruki Modern + Radiant Homes + Brandi Youngmark Interior Design ]Story by Tracy Nicholson Photography by Dan Francis Photography  Jamie and Nathan Evenson are part of a growing population that works entirely from home, but, we didn't say it was only one home. For the past few years, the two have been splitting their time between their Las Vegas and Fargo home. When they decided to build near the Oxbow Country Club, while working from Las Vegas, they knew that managing the build remotely could be a high stakes game. To create this stunning dream home, the Evensons needed their own on-site dream team. Their home inspiration: the contemporary mountain homes they fell in love with in California, fused with a high-style version of Vegas glam. See how Radiant Homes, Ruki Modern, and Brandi Youngmark Interior Design were able to give the couple the best of both worlds.

On the road again with Designingwomen2Story & Photography by Kari Rasmus, DW2
We always look forward to the Las Vegas World Market and our chance to share with you the latest design trends. This year’s market did not disappoint. While the finds were not substantially different from previous years’, there were new twists on old ideas that we can't wait to bring to Fargo. But, let’s back up for a moment. We implore you, please don’t follow a trend unless it speaks to you; a trend, by its very nature, is mercurial and temporary. On the flip side, choosing the right trends can keep your environment looking fresh. So, in the interest of staying fresh, we're taking you to Market to show you DW2 partners’ favorite looks.
[ Monica Hart Interior Design ]Story by Alexis Swenson Photography by Micah Zimmerman, Amdak Productions 3-D Renderings by Max Pickett, MHID  When Jon and Lisa Hanson decided to complete their home's basement, contacting Monica Hart Interior Design, was at the top of their list. The family had lived in their South Fargo home for over six years, working with Hart to complete the design upstairs, as well as the interior design of their lake home. While the Hansons requested a brighter and more modern upstairs, they felt the downstairs needed a little more drama, starting from scratch to create a modern, rustic-inspired space with equal parts drama and function.

[ Maria Bosak, Eco Chic Home ]Story by Maria Bosak Photography by M. Schleif Photography Before photos provided by Maria Bosak
The saying is true, it was worth the wait! After completing eight room remodels, my husband, Tate, and I took a much-needed hiatus. Last month, we were back at it and finally finished a complete remodel of the front living room in our ongoing “farmhouse” project. We’ve now been living here for almost five years and this room sits front and center near the main foyer. It’s the first to be seen, and yet somehow it was the last to be completed of our main living spaces. We're too tired to explain ourselves, so we'll jump right in and show you what a few massive windows can do to capture the view and inspire the room.
[ Mosaic Design + Build ]Story by Melanie Iverson Photography by Penny Burns, Northern Stories
As the married couple behind Mosaic Design + Build, James and I are most often working from scratch - knocking out walls or clearing the ground for huge remodels and overhauls. I was delighted when my friends, Cyndy and Mike Skorick, asked me to start on a design to finish their basement. Their beautiful home is nestled back in the comfy coves of Horace, N.D., and as an added bonus, their basement project was already roughed in. When it comes to the design and build process, we love a blank slate.
