Decoration and style and design welcome readers “home” to Santa Fe rentals
From tailor made-crafted steelwork to murals and hanging art, Santa Fe vacation houses present a peek into neighborhood tradition and artistry.
A regional trip rental proprietor, Kris Lajeskie, uses decoration and layout to curate a cultural encounter for her company and celebrate artistic vision in Santa Fe.
La Casa Tua is a tranquil haven on the east facet of Santa Fe designed up of four rental “sanctuaries,” all renovated by operator Kris Lajeskie. An interior and cultural designer by trade, Lajeskie sees her purpose as capturing the essence and soul of Santa Fe and passing it along to her attendees.

“The most vital principle for me as a cultural designer is to be reliable and delicate to the ecosystem and local society,” she says. “To develop a feeling of spot that quickly informs all your senses.”
Lajeskie’s home was at the time aspect of a Spanish land grant, dating back again to 1745, and was Indigenous land prior to that. The sanctuary Los Santos, a historic two-bedroom house, retains a sense of record with its first thick, curving adobe partitions, vigas and stone floors. In the dwelling spot, woodtrimmed windows are ornately painted around with Spanish scenes (artist and day unknown), and handcrafted tin sconces adorn the walls. In preserving with the topic of saints, Lajeskie commissioned Santa Fe artist Jessie Baca to paint a mural of Our Girl of Guadalupe on an interior door.
A important supporter of artisans, each globally and locally, Lajeskie has sourced nearby artists and craftsmen to get the job done on her sanctuaries. As a result, the spaces are stuffed with many individual and handmade touches. A mural by Santa Fe artist Rebecca Kunz decorates the wall of the a short while ago manufactured Modern Farmhouse sanctuary. In the residing home, framed photographs by Barbara Van Cleve hang near a Mexican sabino table and a hand-painted pillow by a Zia pueblo artist. The bed room attributes a weaving by learn weaver Nelson Perez of Oaxaca that was found on the loom.
Lajeskie sees Santa Fe as a all-natural put for mixing Spanish Colonial, Puebloan and Mexican artwork. “Santa Fe has been a melting pot for people from all around the environment, like an art and trading mecca — so it is open to mixing and blending numerous contexts, textures and artistic narratives,” she says. “I generally keep true to wherever I am [in the world]. However, the the vast majority of the items I have in just about every sanctuary helm from New Mexico and the Southwest.”
All the sanctuaries are established up as switch-critical homes and have obtained an overwhelmingly beneficial reaction. Lajeskie performs with company on size of keep. She states, “I want the magic of the home to sink in and be savored in excess of a period of time of time.” Her aim is to build a “tranquil, non-public environment” for guests to “immerse them selves in Santa Fe.”
