A Denver Interior Design Blog: Bi-Weekly Updates and The Occasional Deep Thought About Design and Life in the Mountain West from a Denver Interior Designer
I'm excited to share this kitchen with you! This kitchen renovation floated along with very few hiccups. I tend to work mostly on homes that are 60 plus years old and this home was built in 2006 - a young buck! In contrast to the 110 year old homes that are my usual wheelhouse, recent… Continue reading Before & After: A Warm, Modern Kitchen
