Apologies for the earworm to those who know that song!
When the idea of purchasing a new home comes to mind, investing in your current home is not always the first thought. People typically start thinking about what it would be like living in a new home, what a new neighborhood could feel like, and what features the new home may have that they’ve spent years hoping to have in their current home.
So, what’s best? Do you buy or renovate? We say, renovate!
Investing in your current home, rather than buying a new home, has incredible benefits. First and foremost, research has shown that the act of moving is more stressful than a breakup or divorce. And moving is quite likely the most stressful of all life events. For anyone who has moved, they can attest to this. So, moving to a new home is not for the faint of heart.

Now, imagine lighting a fall scented candle, pouring yourself a warm cup of coffee (or perhaps a cup of warm apple cider), grabbing a blanket, snagging your favorite romance novel (or Steven King novel, if you’re into that), and snuggling up to the pillows that live in your window reading nook as part of the gorgeous custom built-ins you just had installed in your home. You’re welcome for that incredible experience! Oh, you don’t have custom built-ins? You’re missing out! But don’t fret, we’re here to help inspire you.
When you hear custom built-ins, also known as built-in cabinets or built-in furniture, you might think to yourself, “Do people have these in newer modern homes, or are they strictly for the older homes around Denver proper.” We’re here to tell you, custom built-ins are for ALL homes of ALL ages and ALL styles.
