Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
The struggle I have with my job crops up every now and again when the rest of the world or the country feels like it's in a crisis. You could say to me, Laura, there's always a crisis and I will agree with you, but I am somewhat shallow and I like to have my… Continue reading Garden Inspiration and Being Shallow
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).
The morning light is a little different in August - we've got about a month left of Summer, but I'm seeing signs of Fall in the shadows, in the smells, and in the feel of the evening sunset. We've got fires burning up and down the Front Range in Colorado right now and that, paired… Continue reading Charm and Coziness: Interior Inspirations for the Summer to Fall Shift
Will we ever have nostalgia for this particular summer in America in 2024? Will books be written about this decade?

We even all… Continue reading Summer Vibes or How Not to Drown in Melancholy
I've been dreading 2024 in earnest since 2022. This is the year our one and only child (almost adult) graduates high school and heads to college.

Change is… Continue reading 7 Glorious Interiors to Ring in 2024 (and temporarily forget your personal dread for the year).
Ever since the incredibly destructive Marshall Fire in 2021, when I look at my phone in the morning for the day's weather, I see two words on a regular basis: "Fire Weather." What a great way to wake up. This week we've had Fire Weather almost every day. If you're not from here and you're… Continue reading Shrugging at Fire Weather
Snow is falling outside right now and I've got a hot mug of Earl Gray next to me. I love the smell of Bergamot - it smells like happiness. I just repainted my office Backwoods by Benjamin Moore and I am loving it. It's a forest green that's so forest green you can smell the… Continue reading Current Sensibility: Vintage and More Vintage
Happy 2023! It's a cold and snowy start to the year in Denver. Our daughter just started to drive and I wish she started driving in the dry summer months to gain some more road experience, but, as with most things, it's not up to me. I learned how to drive in snow from just… Continue reading Remodeling a Denver Square: A White and Green Kitchen
Happy November! Just like clockwork, my inbox is getting "Best of 2022" emails, end of year round-ups and other farewell 2022 missives. We are quick to say goodbye, let's wrap up and let's move on. Louis L'Amour wrote: “There will come a time when you believe everything is finished; that will be the beginning.” What… Continue reading Decorating Home Bars
There are so many things I'd love to complain to you about but this is a design and decorating blog and I think you could probably use some peace. We both know what's going on in the world and hopefully you're here because you could use a break from the 24 hour a day news… Continue reading Current Sensibility: Never Panic: Let’s look at pretty images together and smile.
