In 1969, Robert Redford bought the land now known as Sundance and envisioned the careful growth of a community committed to the balance of art, nature and community. Today, Sundance offers an atmosphere steeped in cultural heritage.
Guest Presenters
Chaz Easterly is the Founder and Creative Director of Linen & Flax Co., a lifestyle brand providing design services, home goods, apparel, and more. The brand was born out of her love for design, passion for people, and desire to create the kind of environments that families can truly call home.
A lifelong lover of design and details, Chaz never imagined she would create more than just the space her own family called home. But when the recession hit, like so many others she found herself looking for a way to turn her passion into her profession. She landed at Pottery Barn, coming on board to launch their in-home design program. Between her work for their clients and the growing list of friends, family members, and neighbors willing to give her an opportunity to design their spaces, her confidence and calling continued to grow.
The brand came into full bloom in 2015 with the launch of both Linen & Flax interior design services and the opening of the Linen & Flax Home store. Two years later, the brand expanded to include L&F Apparel, an online marketplace and storefront for apparel, accessories, and more.
Today, Chaz operates Linen & Flax Co. as a full-service lifestyle brand dedicated to providing customers and clients with the best design services, home products, clothing, accessories, and more. She is surrounded by an amazing team of like-minded staff, working hard and having fun.
When she is not in a client’s home, working with a customer in our stores, or documenting all things Linen & Flax on our social media, you can find Chaz in her very favorite place—at home with her husband Stuart, their three children, Christian, Jaclyn, and Riley, and their sweet dog, Rebel.

Deborah Bitton has been planning and designing spaces for many years. Whether it was themed birthday parties for her children, halloween parties, baby and wedding showers or even her eldest son's lakeside wedding, she literally cannot remember a time when she wasn't decorating.
This love of decorating spurred the launch of her Instagram account in 2017. Her overall desire in starting the account was to help her followers create a space that is comfortable, a place where your family and friends can enjoy and relax. Creating spaces that are not only affordable but achievable and realistic is her specialty. Deborah’s Instagram has grown organically and incrementally the past 3 years into a large following of 146k faithful followers. She has collaborated with many large companies and featured on websites such as Pottery Barn, JCPenney, Kirkland’s, Rooms To Go to name a few. She most recently had Farmhouse Style Magazine photograph her home for the 2021 Holiday Edition.
If you're looking for inspiration and ideas, Deborah has plenty of them. While she began her social media account centered around tablescapes, it grew into much more. The many DIY's that you can view on her blog is everything from the gorgeous roughhewn fireplace mantles, barn doors, wooden stairs and complete room makeovers.
Because she was asked so often about particular items that cannot be found at a typical retail store, she launched The Shoppe in 2019. The Shoppe is a curated collection of unique finds that her followers and readers can order. She spends days if not weeks sourcing and searching for the items that her followers have come to expect.
Deborah graduated from Weber State University with a bachelor’s in Communications. She has been married to her high school sweetheart for 34 years and has 3 grown children and 3 dogs. When she's not working on content or sourcing unique finds for The Shoppe, you can find her relaxing on the lake with her husband.
