Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
I have the pleasure of working on quite a few older home in the Denver Metro area. A few of my clients want to maintain and replicate the vintage charm of their bathrooms but more of them want an updated classic look for our current time. It's rare to see an unremodeled bathroom from 75… Continue reading 2 Classic Bathrooms in a 1920’s Denver Bungalow

The question mark is there because we only got one letter from the city requesting that we clear it and that was at the end of… Continue reading Vintage Style Bathrooms: My obsession continues

I've been having fun decorating the new addition in our home but that's been… Continue reading Turning a Craigslist Dresser into a Sink
