Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
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).
Dazed and Confused. Love the style in this movie. (Photo Source) Texture, color and shape - so nostalgic, so good. (Photo Source) Setting the mood!

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
It's been a rough couple of weeks for me and mine. My daughter's school was swatted last week and even though she knew it was most likely a hoax, she felt terrific fear and sadness while hiding in a small practice room in the dark in the school's band room. My husband's school had a… Continue reading Spring Can’t Get Here Soon Enough: Decorating with Color
How are you faring this last week before Christmas? As I write this, we have extreme cold blowing into town. I was at a local plumbing store this morning that was jam-packed with plumbers picking up supplies. If you're the spouse of a plumber, I guess just know they'll be making some money, but they'll… Continue reading A Year in the Life of this Denver Designer (Part 2)
We're about halfway through the last month of the year and as an old boss used to say to me, "I'm good there." I gave myself permission a few years ago to not cookie bake, to not send out cards and to not have the shopping done early unless, of course, I had the inclination.… Continue reading A Year in the Life of this Denver Designer (Part 1)
I really like Christmas lights this time of year. I am powered by sunshine and when it gets so dark so early my natural instinct is to hunker inside for the season which does no one any good. Twinkle lights are an easy way to lift my spirits and they are better for me than… Continue reading We Could Call it Even: Decorating for the Holidays
