I love design that’s timeless and yet still gives a nod to current trends. I like to mix different styles and fuse them together. I like the way it makes the room feel and draws the eyes to different features in the room. I especially like adding an antique in the mix- something with history or a story of its own. If everything is strictly one design style I think it is much less interesting and somehow not as inviting. What is your design style? Do you like to combine the old with the new?

I am loving the color pallet we created for a new client. They wanted warm earth tones and their personal style is a blend of traditional and rustic. We are going to give their “sheet-rock fireplace” (you read that right, the entire fireplace is orange-peel textured sheetrock) an entire makeover. We will add stone and a beautiful wood mantle, a built-in cabinet beside it with floating wood shelves to match the mantle….and more! Then we will completely refurnish the family room to create a “Colorado Retreat” that’s cozy for family and kids and also inviting for guests when they entertain. The challenge will be (and there is always a challenge to every project😊) incorporating the existing wood tones and countertops in the adjoining kitchen. It’s important that the new feature-wall/fireplace does NOT look like an afterthought. It needs to feel like it has always been part of the home. The home has a wonderful open concept, high ceilings and lots of natural light from big windows all around the East side of the home. So much potential! I can’t wait to get started! Stay tuned to view design boards with ideas and inspiration and photos of our progress moving forward.
Before: This is the “Sheetrock Fireplace” that will get an entire overhaul.

Before: Huge widows with lots of natural light. They will be getting new window coverings and custom blinds.

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Our family decided to decorate for Christmas early this year. We usually decorate the day after Thanksgiving. But, this year we felt like we needed more than 25 days of Christmas Joy. we haven’t put our trees up yet but we are in full tinsel mode at the Kautz House.

New Build in Aurora

I had the pleasure of designing the theme, color pallet and furnish this entire, newly built home. The homeowner was a dream to work with and is very happy with the look and feel of his new home. He wanted a Rustic, Modern Farmhouse with a touch of Industrial flair. I think we hit the mark.

Succulent Wall Art DIY

I have been working on a new project for a client building a large piece of natural wood and succulent wall art. Finally….we are completely finished and ready to deliver and mount on this baby on the wall. This succulent wall art is going to be the focal point on an accent wall in a new build I’ve been decorating for a bachelor. I like it so much I think I might make one for my own house.

Constructing the frame….
The frame is stained and ready for the succulents, moss and natural wood elements to be added.
The end result……

Fall Decorating

I love the onset of fall. It’s my favorite season…. sweater weather, boots, bon-fires, leaves changing, pumpkin spice everything, rich warm toned colors…. what’s not to love? I’ve started decorating my home and front porch for fall. I’m leaning toward the “less is more” simplicity this year. I feel like it gives touches of seasonal vibes while maintaining some elegance.

May Your Journey Always Lead You Home

May your journey always lead you home. I loved these words so much I had to take this wooden sign home with me. These words are very fitting today…. my husband leaves for Korea this afternoon, where he will reside for the next year. This will be a tough day for the kids and I as we say goodbye to him. We will pray for his safe journey, over the next 12 months, and his safe return next August. Military families are very proud of their loved ones and are very strong….even on days like today.
