Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
The days are getting longer, the breeze is feeling warmer and my happiness levels are returning. I had a hard winter - the cold and the ice paired with a need to eat my way through January and February. And probably December if I'm being honest with myself. I got out every single day with… Continue reading Good Riddance February
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 surprised by how early it gets dark this time of year even though I've lived through half a century of winters. Although, my formative years were in Florida so that might not count. With the new puppy, I've been forced out of my cosy morning reading routine and into the low, winter sun… Continue reading The Joy of Early Walks in a Winter Park
I think about color a lot. Some of it is for my job and some of it is just who I am and what lights me up. Green has long been favorite color of mine. The last few years I've done multiple green kitchens and it's been awesome. Green looks particularly good with wood and… Continue reading Charming Green Kitchens
I don't usually feel like holiday decorating until right after Thanksgiving, but this year I'm ready to haul out, dust off and assemble the tree (so romantic) and get to decorating. I'm thinking about making some homemade garlands this year out of old wallpaper samples. I also haven't jumped on board the ribbon trend and… Continue reading Cheerful Decorating for the Holidays
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
This kitchen and butler's pantry is in a beautiful 1913 Craftsman Bungalow. I showed you a few other rooms from this home last week. The kitchen is half in the original home and half in the new addition. Why are we Americans still calling this usually formal, smaller room off a kitchen a Butler's Pantry?… Continue reading Craftsman Bungalow: A Kitchen and Pantry Tour (with a bath thrown in for fun).
I recently completed a remodel of a Craftsman Bungalow in Denver's Wash Park Neighborhood. If you haven't been to Wash Park, it looks like an art director's idea of a city neighborhood. Big trees, tree root disturbed sidewalks, old homes that have been well-maintained, porch swings, people out walking dogs and a beautiful park with… Continue reading Remodeling a Craftsman Bungalow in Wash Park
Captain waiting patiently in the kitchen because sometimes good things happen here. We have a walnut island with a soft white perimeter for a client who loves to cook. (Photo by Jordan Katz for Laura Medicus Interiors). This home is on the site of the client's previous home which was lost to the Marshall Fire… Continue reading After the Marshall Fire: A New Build with Joy
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
