Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
This Victorian beauty was built in 1891 in Denver and when I walked up to it in the winter of 2024 it was looking down on its luck. It had been converted to apartments probably in the 1950's and most recently had been through a bad fire when a tenant on the top floor left… Continue reading An 1891 Denver Victorian Gets a Facelift: Maintain the Eccentric
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
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
We have a really sweet flock of black capped chickadees (called a Banditry of Chickadees) on our birdfeeders and trees the past few weeks after having very few bird visitors this summer and this middle-aged gal was loving it. Youth is usually not spent watching birds and listening to the way the wind sounds in… Continue reading Last Week of Summer: Bring on Fall Melancholy Season
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
It's the first day of Spring, the snow is melting, the skies are blue and I have determined squirrels doing incredible gymnastics to get at the bird feeders. Here's a recent remodel of a home on an Historic Block in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood. Despite keeping the original built-ins in the kitchen, dining and living… Continue reading Cute Vintage Kitchen in Denver: Adding charm to old cabinets
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. I've spent multiple walks giving myself pep talks about how great it will be for her, how ready she is and how I can find a new chapter for myself. Change is… Continue reading 7 Glorious Interiors to Ring in 2024 (and temporarily forget your personal dread for the year).
We're almost halfway through May and I have barely noticed. I don't want to be a person who brag-complains about how busy they are, but it's. been. busy. and time feels like it's speeding up. I'm someone who needs a little daydream time built into my work week to keep me feeling creative and I've… Continue reading Interiors for Spring from this Daydream Believer
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
I have tremendous Spring Fever over here on Cedar Street. Last year was my first year of attempting a Prairie Garden in the front yard and it was semi-successful? The question mark is there because we only got one letter from the city requesting that we clear it and that was at the end of… Continue reading Vintage Style Bathrooms: My obsession continues
