Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
Some restaurants have a style that you immediately want a part of and who cares what the food tastes like (well, within reason). There are a lot of lovely restaurants in the Denver area right now that are filled with dark, reclaimed wood, bare bulbs (I do like the look - I am not knocking this!) and canning… Continue reading Kitchen Inspiration Straight From Portland (And it’s probably not what you think)
If you are looking for something fun to do with your family and you celebrate Christmas - consider a day trip to cut your own tree in one of Colorado's beautiful National Forests. This year's Christmas Tree cutting dates for the Rocky Mountain Region are December 3rd-December 11th. My family and I did this last year and… Continue reading Cut Your Own Colorado Christmas Tree: Squirrels Not Included
I love renovated older homes that manage to keep their original charm intact. I worked on this 1920's Denver Bungalow for well over a year - it was a rewarding experience. The homeowners added a second floor and gave the home 3 new bedrooms and 2 new bathrooms, yet when you're inside the home, it feels cozy and charming:… Continue reading A Charmed Bungalow in Denver: Renovating with Character

I… Continue reading A Talk With Denver Photographer Sara Yoder About Community, Architecture and Her Upcoming Show

For me, the take away from this style is that editing helps you see the space better. Take away things - look at the envelope of your home; if… Continue reading October Obsessions: Rustic Minimalism, Serge Mouille and In the Company of Women
I've worked with Jeremy Burns as an art installer for my clients for over 5 years now and it took me a while to realize that not only is he a working artist, he's also responsible for some of my favorite murals around Denver. I thought this would be a great place to talk with him… Continue reading A Talk With Colorado Artist Jeremy Burns About Tips for Hanging Art and Supporting Local Artists
We converted our detached, circa 1939 garage over the Spring this year into a design studio (you can read more about the start of it here) and I have been working in it ever since. It's awesome to walk outside in the morning with my mug of coffee, say hello to the koi and goldfish in the pond,… Continue reading My Converted Garage to a Design Studio: Take a tour!
It's Fall - why is she talking about floral patterns? What happened to plaid? Floral patterns are a fantastic way to make a bold design statement in a modern interior. I think they can look incredible next to clean lined furniture. The juxtaposition of the lush and unexpected organic beauty of flowers with a… Continue reading Trend Alert: Year Round Flowers! Fall Florals in Home Decor
Kevin Russ prints on Society 6: I've followed iPhone photographer Kevin Russ on Instagram for years now. He's been on the road since 2012 and his images of traveling around this continent have been inspiring, enlightening and moving. The people, stories and land he's encountered on his trek are rooted in Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck… Continue reading September Obsessions: The photographer Kevin Russ, Giant Legos and Color Block Pillows
