Grounded in the wild textures of Sandpoint and shaped by a lifelong devotion to thoughtful design, Kate has always been drawn to the quiet dialogue between nature and the built environment. As founder of Base Camp Design, her work has long reflected an appreciation for authenticity, craftsmanship, and the understated luxury of natural materials.

Elliott Cole Home emerged as a natural extension of that vision—a response to the need for a modern, design-forward furniture and lifestyle showroom that reflects the mountain and lake culture of North Idaho. What Kate couldn’t find elsewhere, she created: a space where elevated design, artisan craft, and the warmth of lived experience converge.

Through her relationships with regional makers and her instinct for meaningful interiors, Kate curates collections and environments that feel soulful, rooted, and timeless. Whether shaping a home or building a brand, she approaches each project with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart, weaving together the textures, tones, and moments that define a life well lived.
