Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
I've got my head down going into this year listening to audiobooks and music and glancing with one eye open at the news. I'm thinking of becoming a Lifestyle pages person, that could be my happy ticket through the next few years. It's cold here right now but I've been getting out in it every… Continue reading Turn Up the Vinyl and the Audiobooks
I am increasingly drawn to muddier colors - especially the moodier green side of things. I've noticed this muddy green looks especially good with the cool touch of blue and the warmth of red/coral tones. It's unexpected, interesting and it has an inward, quiet look to it that's really appealing to me right now. With… Continue reading Creating Introverted Spaces with Color
I am listening to a book called Look Again by Tali Sharot and Cass R. Sunstein about habituation - how "getting used to things" dulls our enthusiasm, our creativity and our enjoyment. This really resonates with me. I'm a person who hates to do the same thing every day when it comes to my job.… Continue reading Revitalize Your Home: Praise for small changes
It's been a rough couple of weeks for me and mine. My daughter's school was swatted last week and even though she knew it was most likely a hoax, she felt terrific fear and sadness while hiding in a small practice room in the dark in the school's band room. My husband's school had a… Continue reading Spring Can’t Get Here Soon Enough: Decorating with Color

Work is incredibly busy and is occupying almost my every waking hour. It's a struggle to break free from that sometimes, but it is necessary. Fortunately, or… Continue reading Homes that don’t look like everyone else’s….
November of 2020 is here and you don't need me to tell you that turning on the news is bad for your health. We've been warned by medical experts that it is going to be a "very dark winter" and I am craving color, pattern and life in my interiors to combat my ongoing pandemic… Continue reading How to Get Through the Dark Winter: Add Color to Your Home!
Okay, maybe color won't get you what you want. BUT, maybe it will! Who's to say? If you're feeling positive about life because you woke up in a room with colors that make you happy, maybe you'll get the job you wanted. I'm going to gush about color again this week because I'm still feeling… Continue reading How to Use Color in Your Home to Get What You Want
The weather here in the Denver area has been absolutely gorgeous and I'm itching to start planting some vegetables and flowers. We have an overgrown and pretty neglected yard that we've not done a whole lot to since we moved here a few years ago. It's kind of an interesting yard, in that it's got… Continue reading Color My World: Color Trends Spring 2018
Do you like trends? Most of my clients are wary of that word even though, usually, they are full-on embracing some type of trend themselves. I don't find the word "trendy" derogatory and neither should you. The human condition allows us to be aware of time passing. Change is constant and we are living through… Continue reading Pops of Color: Color Trends for 2018
