Denver Interior Design – let's talk vintage style, old homes and remodeling
Do you guys create New Years resolutions? I wasn't raised by parents who did - I have a feeling they think it's silly and that you should try to be the best person you can be every day, not just when a new year rolls around, but I've never confirmed this with them.

This… Continue reading Before and After: Ranch House Love in Denver
When we moved into our home about a year ago - we painted almost all the rooms Benjamin Moore's Swiss Coffee which sounds like it would be a beige, but it's really a warm white (those Swiss must love their dairy). I remember a neighbor walking in and asking if it was primer up on… Continue reading Colorado and White Walls
Garden chairs indoors? Yes! Lightweight, garden friendly and stylish - the hoop chair adds a chic, outdoorsy feeling to any room. I love seeing this 1960's style chair outside, but I like it best indoors. There are many variations of this chair derived from Hans Wegner's 1965 "Hoop Chair" (which is a stunner of a chair).… Continue reading An Outdoorsy Chair you Should Have Inside: The Hoop Chair
Everyone has a hot trends list for Spring 2016 out right now - Elle Decor says that it's all about black and white minimalism while other sites herald the return of pastels for Spring (shocker).
