Fall Into Fun

We absolutely LOVE experiencing fall in Colorado. And, we aren’t alone - folks from all over the world flock to Colorado during the fall to experience all our beautiful state has to offer. From the autumn colors that blanket the majestic rocky mountains to the crisp air and fall smells, you can pack the next few months with fantastic road trips, scenic hikes, exceptional camping, and mountain town adventures.

COLORado - you see what we did there? While there are several other states in the union that boast their very own gorgeous fall spectacular, to us, there is nothing like Colorado. Perhaps it’s our altitude, or maybe it’s the simple fact that in the US there is nothing like the Rocky Mountains. Whatever you think, the Aspen’s that blanket our mountains and display the most beautiful shades of gold cannot be beat.

A few years back we shared a few of our favorite road trips around Colorado. And while these can be done at any time, we like them best during our autumn months. We’re sharing them again!

Featured Remodel #2229 by Project Manager, Paul Moore

Are you someone who likes to sit in the gorgeous Colorado summer sun reading all about home remodeling projects and diving into before and after pictures? Well, do we have something for you!

New Year, New Home, New You!

For most, the new year is a time to change life for the better. To focus on things like a new diet to lose weight or purchase a gym membership that never actually gets used and eventually becomes a pain to get rid of. Make plans to travel to exotic destinations or focus on major upcoming life events like a wedding or graduation. But oftentimes, many skip what is most obvious for a change… one’s own home.

Talk Tile To Me!

Earlier this year we crafted the ultimate Beginners Guide To Flooring, which included material choices like ceramic tile, among others. But ceramic tile, as you likely know, is not only for your floors. In fact, you can get super funky, fresh, and stylish with both ceramic and porcelain tile throughout your home. And, your opportunities are endless. Tile is often seen in kitchens, bathrooms - really, any room with running water. This is due to their water resistance and incredible versatility. Most folks remain fairly traditional in their ceramic tile flooring styles, some extravagant, we like a happy medium - but we also love how creative tile has become - particularly in color, pattern, and design!

If you're not going to do it now, you're not going to do it later.

We live in an economic environment where we don't know what the next day will bring... high energy cost and crazy inflation. As we are all aware, this started partly due to the 2020 pandemic. Everyone started working from home and realized that they needed a basement finished or an office built out. Or even just wanted to get their whole house remodel knowing they would be in the house for the long term.

Remodeling Advice from a Project Manager

This month we asked our Project Manager, Paul Moore, what advice he has for homeowners when doing a remodeling project.  In true form, Paul's advice reflects good old fashion adage. Communication is key, mindset matters, and patience is a virtue.

Bring The Outdoors Inside

Ask anyone in Colorado why they love living here, and we guarantee “the great outdoors” will be one of their top replies. And we couldn’t agree more!

That’s why we don’t let our love for CO’s natural beauty stop at our front door. Spending so much time in our homes these past few years has forced us to look at our living space differently. It’s not uncommon to get tired of what you see!

We say throw those doors open, let the sunlight, scent of pine, and mountain air in, and incorporate our love for the outdoors inside.

Show off your love for the outdoors and bring Colorado’s natural beauty into every room with these 8 tips:

What Makes The Perfect Holiday Kitchen

Seasons Greetings! Celebrations are upon us - time to enjoy the holidays surrounded by family, friends, gifts, food, libations, and more. The key to staying stress-free is by maximizing and prepping space ahead of time! And it starts in the kitchen.

The kitchen is the heart of the home, especially at Christmas time. It provides much more than sustenance, it's a space to gather for family fun and make emotional connections. Holiday guests usually equate to extra mouths to feed and larger meals (which means larger messes.)

Fall Checklist For Home Maintenance

Sweater weather is coming! And that means it’s time for your home’s seasonal maintenance. Taking steps now is key to keeping your home looking and functioning great as you transition into winter months.

We wish all we needed to do to prepare for fall was to break out the throw blankets and candles, and buy a decorative gourd or two. But unfortunately, being a homeowner comes with responsibilities. While everything may seem tip-top now, winter storms can bring cold temperatures, power failures, etc., and a little maintenance now will make your life easier later.
