Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
I hope your Fall is bringing you some delight. The weather in the Denver area has been spectacular and, as I write this, I'm looking at our backyard packed with color - crimson, yellow, pumpkin orange, nutmeg, green and various shades of brown. I re-filled the bird feeder earlier today amid actively falling leaves. If… Continue reading Home Addition in Denver: A Family Home in Black and White
Happy April! I'm feeling refreshed from a week off. We went to Los Angeles for the week and I can see why millions of people live there. The weather was phenomenal; the art, plants, beaches, hillsides, neighborhoods and restaurants were diverse, interesting and quite vibrant. I came back feeling inspired by the casual California… Continue reading Before and After: A Ranch Home with Abundant Natural Light
Congratulations to Denver Public School teachers on reaching an agreement after 3 days of striking! Dave was out there on the picket line in front of his school every morning at 7:00 am and it was interesting to see the process first hand. The daily organization that's involved to mobilize large groups of people is… Continue reading The Glamorous Chesterfield Sofa
Suburban Style ain't exactly glamorous in the interior design world. 1980's Suburban Style? Even less so. This home in Littleton, Colorado was a double whammy. It was built in 1981, and while it had been maintained, very few updates had been done when my clients found it. Raiders of the Lost Ark could still be… Continue reading Before and After: An 80’s Home Gets a Rustic Refined Overhaul
I've been into bold rugs recently. I am starting to work my way into liking warmer color palettes and I think that the area rug is a fantastic way to interject some spirit and warmth into a home. Paired with neutral seating, interesting art and a few plants and you've got a warm, inviting room.… Continue reading Make it Interesting: Transform Your Room With a Bold Rug
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
"Your home should tell the story of who you are and be a collection of what you love." - Nate Berkus I met these clients first in a rambling, old family home in Denver. Their children are grown with families of their own and they were ready to downsize to a less rambling, less maintenance required… Continue reading An Eclectic Denver Home
This kitchen was recently featured in Colorado Homes & Lifestyles "10 Ooh-La-La Kitchens" Sept/Oct issue - out now! Here are a few more lovely photo's and more back story on the project. My clients returned from vacation last summer to their home in Golden, Colorado and found that a crucial valve on the upstairs toilet had failed and… Continue reading A Modern Farmhouse Revealed
"I don't want it to be too matchy-matchy" is something I hear from a lot of people. Trust me, I don't want that for you either! If you're struggling with the basic foundation of your room - take a page from these amazing designers and decorators and match it up! You may think of it as… Continue reading Matchy Matchy: Pull together your look with matching pieces
This was such a fun family room to work on! The clients are young, active professionals with two small children and two large-ish birds. They needed a space to cuddle up in at the end of the day and needed larger and more attractive aviaries for the family birds. When I first walked into the… Continue reading Denver Family Room Makeover: Lighten Up
