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).

Last Week of Summer: Bring on Fall Melancholy Season
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
Charm and Coziness: Interior Inspirations for the Summer to Fall Shift
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
7 Glorious Interiors to Ring in 2024 (and temporarily forget your personal dread for the year).
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).
Shrugging at Fire Weather
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
A Dramatic Black & White Kitchen
School has started again out here in Colorado and I wonder when did it change to going back in early to mid August? When I was a kid it was always the day after Labor Day and I relished those last weeks of August when it was still hot and the days were still long.… Continue reading A Dramatic Black & White Kitchen
Reimagining the Denver Square
“Give me an old house full of memories and I will give you hundred novels!” ― Mehmet Murat Ildan This 1908 home is situated adjacent to City Park, Denver's largest park and one of the city's oldest urban spaces. When I first walked into this home, it had been partially gutted and I felt the age of… Continue reading Reimagining the Denver Square
Current Sensibility: Kitchens for People Who Don’t Have Time to Cook
I design kitchens for a living and I have not had time to properly prepare a meal for myself and my family in quite a while. I bought myself an Insta-Pot as an early Christmas present and, for better or for worse, I've been using it like it was the last appliance on earth. I'm… Continue reading Current Sensibility: Kitchens for People Who Don’t Have Time to Cook
Current Sensibility: Creativity and Free Time
Self-reflection is not enjoyable. At the end of this unnamed decade, I find myself wanting to reflect, consider and plan for the next decade but, ironically, I first need to carve out the time from a tortured work/life schedule. I've added so many layers to my life with work, the podcast, family time and health… Continue reading Current Sensibility: Creativity and Free Time
