Well, maybe we’re not completely to AFTER yet. Maybe more “in-progress” pics. But, when I tripped on some of our back yard pics before we started the addition. Big difference. I do miss having trees and we planning five fruit trees and a big shade tree right by our office. Notice I’m only showing pictures [...]

Landscape Progress

It’s been a challenge tackling our house projects with Tim traveling to Hong Kong and China 1-2 weeks every month. I think we’re headed into month 18 of that routine? So, sometimes I try to keep projects moving when he’s gone. I don’t always do so good. It’s hard to be motivated when you’re alone. [...]

Denver Ikea has finally opened! Now, it may seem funny that I’m so excited that Ikea is here since I prefer to buy vintage furniture most of the time. But, there are simply too many things that Ikea does so well and affordably! We had an Ikea right across the bridge when we lived in [...]

Are there things that you’ve seen at garage/estate sales, vintage shops or junk stores that you looked at, did a double-take, put it down, but years later wish you had gotten it? I know I’ve had a few things like that. As I’ve posted before, one of the best things about buying our house and [...]

When 5280 Magazine interviewed us a few months ago and asked for our favorite Denver mid-century modern vintage resources, Lee Alex Decor was definitely on our list. They are centrally located in Denver (near the Baker neighborhood). It’s a sweet spot for me – between downtown Denver and my house right on Broadway. Because our [...]

In the 5280 Magazine article, we got to share our favorite vintage shops in the Denver area. One of my regular “haunts” is ModMood-Retro Consignment out on 44th in Wheat Ridge. The consignment side of the shop is huge and has a lot of turnover. I also like that they don’t restore or improve anything [...]

Favorite Google Search – “mid century modern crown molding”

August 4, 2011

I love looking at the stats on my blog. I can see the exact search terms that people enter into google that eventually land them on my blog. I’m just a tiny blog, but it’s still entertaining. I just saw someone find my blog by googling “mid century modern crown molding”. Really? If you typed [...]

After our consult with Jamie Foley from the blog, Sanctuary Home, we’ve been keeping our eyes open for things to add to the house that would help us make it a home. And, to fill out so much of the empty space. One day while driving around and procrastinating house projects (and I think it [...]
