Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery Review:
Stephen Etre, Owner of Stephen’s, A Consignment Gallery will update the audience on the ways that his gallery is working with its clients, as the ongoing health crisis persists. Stephen will also remind the audience of the gallery’s mission of “giving back” to the Santa Fe community. Stephen’s gallery—which has been a part of the Santa Fe community for nearly 40 years—will return to its regular business operation, once the coronavirus situation is fully addressed, bringing more than 13,000 square feet of gallery display space, providing a wide variety of unique items to the public. More than ever, Stephen is proud of his gallery’s involvement in local charities, as well as cultural, and educational organizations. The team at the gallery has a deep commitment to building local, and sustainable community relationships. For the eleventh year in a row, Stephen’s gallery is serving as one of the major corporate supporters of “All Things Real Estate,” with Mr. Etre offering monthly commentary throughout 2020.
CHRISTUS St. Vincent Health System Commitment to Northern New Mexico:
Katherine Armijo Etre, Vice President of Mission and Community Health at the CHRISTUS organization, will update the audience on how the CHRISTUS health care system is meeting the challenges of the coronavirus situation. Katherine has worked in the field of health and human services for over 30 years in State Government, non-profits, education, and health care. She has extensive experience in the areas of early childhood, school age children, adolescent, adult behavioral health, and senior care.

She believes that communities have resources to build upon including health care, safety net programs, faith communities, family supports and most important, people who care. Having the opportunity to do this work in her own community brings her great professional satisfaction.

The main residence consists of a large master bedroom suite with a cozy library area anchored by a lovely wood burning fireplace, rounded vigas, and lovely garden views. Two secondary bedrooms suites are separated by a spacious, open concept living/dining area with dramatic fourteen-foot high-beamed ceilings, dormer windows, a wood burning kiva fireplace and panoramic windows captivating an ever-blooming native garden and Jemez mountain views. The chef’s kitchen is warm, generous and embraces the heart of the home with rich wood cabinetry, granite countertops and a large cherry wood island, featuring breakfast nook area, which opens up onto a side patio embraced by large pine trees and a bubbling water feature. A separate guesthouse has its own access from the driveway with a cozy bedroom suite and kitchenette flanking the central fireplace complete with its own private portal. Sharing a wall with the guesthouse is a quiet office space with lovely wood built-in cabinetry, ample desk space and a powder room. Additional details include a solar hot water system, jetted tub and steam shower in the master suite, evaporative cooling in the main and guest homes, wood and brick floors, smooth plaster walls, custom doors throughout and high-end appliances and fixtures, as well as a reverse osmosis water system in the kitchen.
