Check It Out

Taking Place: The Sundance Film Festival kicks up its pretty little feet starting today. Head to Park City (if you dare) for the ultimate in celeb-watching. Or bum around Salt Lake and see what films you can sneak yourself into. The film guide is here.
Strolling and Trolling: It’s the third Friday of the month, which means Salt Lake’s galleries are ripe for your perusing. Take to the streets tomorrow night as part of the Gallery Stroll, just don’t forget your parka. Participating galleries here.
The Real Deal: Holladay’s Real Deals is celebrating one year of business on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Along with lots of screamin’ deals, you can partake in some
birthday cake.
The Zep: Take heed, Zeppelin fans. No Quarter, the ultimate Led Zep tribute band is lighting up The Depot on Saturday night. Too bad their name isn’t as cool, and nevermind that reunion the originals have going on. Get your tickets here. Also up on the music docket are Sea Wolf, The Bravery and Angela Correa. Catch the deets via Lacey’s Music Guide.
Go Go Mod: Definitely check out was Salt Laker Creede has done in in transforming a
Sugarhouse home into a modern work and a wonder at his blog, called Grassroots Modern. He offers up lots of tips on how to make such a transformation affordable, too. You can see the finished product here.
We’re neither nerdy enough or cool enough, but you could always opt to spend your Saturday like this. And mark your calendars, Leslie Hall and her Gem Sweaters will bedazzle Utahns in March. (Thanks, Coco!)

Thanks YHO for noticing us! It’s great to connect with some locals as most of the GRM readers are not local. Just to clarify we have featured two different local affordable modern projects at Grassrootsmodern. Our own Sugarhood remodel and addition can be found here: http://www.grassrootsmodern.com/tag/our-house/
The other great project that we featured was the Lucy Ave project, which is an great modern urban infill home that was built down by the Franklin Covey baseball field. You can follow that whole project here: http://www.grassrootsmodern.com/tag/lucy-ave/
If you know of any other great affordable modern projects in Salt Lake (or anywhere for that matter) let us know about it!

I love Creede’s site and the great things he and his wife have done. If you have the time, check out the concrete counter-tops they poured themselves!
