Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
We recently wrapped up a remodel of a kitchen and living area in a beautiful ranch home near Old Town Littleton. The remodel was one of the smoothest I've been on EXCEPT for the lead time on the double ovens. Some appliance brands have lead times for over a year right now. As a word… Continue reading Before & After: Littleton Ranch Home Remodel
I designed this project at the end of 2019 and construction started in February of 2020. Not only did these clients live in the home during the renovation, they also lived through a renovation during the beginning weeks and months of the pandemic. They handled everything with grace and humor. BEFORE: A classic home from… Continue reading Before and After: A late 90’s home gets a light and airy remodel
Happy Spring!! Can you believe we made it through another winter? I feel like this is something humans have been congratulating each other on since the dawn of time. Spring is something you can't buy your way into and you can't buy yourself into the front of the line - everyone experiences it together. And… Continue reading Before & After: A Ranch Kitchen with Plenty of Natural Light
I am home today awaiting what's called a "Bomb Cyclone" which is a rare weather phenomenon that I had never heard of up until yesterday. I feel incredibly skeptical, but maybe that's how Floridians and other feel when forecasters warn of a hurricane and they look outside and see a little rain. This Bomb Cyclone… Continue reading Before & After: Sunlight in a Small, Vintage Style, White Kitchen
This kitchen surprised me. Some kitchens you just know are going to be an amazing transformation. Anytime you add a window, open up a wall or a ceiling, there's going to be a "Wow." For this space, we didn't need to knock a wall down - it's big eat-in kitchen already. The clients didn't really… Continue reading Before & After: Farmhouse Transitional Kitchen
I get emails and phone calls every week from potential clients who have never worked with an interior designer before. There is usually nervousness about the process and some pre-conceived notions about who I am and how I work. I know I feel nervous having another designer over to my own home so I can… Continue reading How to Hire an Interior Designer: 9 Tips from a Designer
Welcome to my last "Kitchens of 2018" post! (Oh good, I thought she'd never stop sharing these blurry site photos.) How is your January 2019 experience? My life feels back to "normal" from the nasty December that I had followed by the chaos of the Christmas holiday. I'm really enjoying being a part of this… Continue reading Denver Kitchens: A Year in Review (Part 3)
This home is a beautiful, old Park Hill home built in the early 1900's. It has the original dark wood trim, original tile fireplace, a beautiful entry staircase, intact stained glass everywhere and a front porch I could probably live in full time. You would not know any of this though from the above photo.… Continue reading Before and After: A Budget Friendly Kitchen Remodel
This week I thought I'd give you a glimpse of the design process with a fun before photo paired with a sketch idea of "after". I have a lively young family who just bought a home with some land very close to Denver - it's Country Living 20 minutes away from the city which is… Continue reading Country Living near Denver: Adding Rustic Charm to a Builder Grade Home
I'm excited to share some finished photo's of a house I recently wrapped up! This is a beautiful little 1950's ranch house located in Denver's Crestmoor neighborhood - an area filled with large trees and big yards. Like many Denver neighborhoods, smaller, period homes co-exist here with supersized homes that are either new builds or over-sized pop-tops. This… Continue reading Before and After: Ranch House Love in Denver
