Open Wide!

Although the construction on this downtown Montrose, Colorado dental office has been complete for a while. The landscaping is also done now too! I love before and after shots but sometimes I get into perfectionist mode and have to wait until the "after" can be really stunning and all the way done. So with out further delay, here is another of our commercial projects. This was done under our commercial division, BridgerHill.

I had a great time finding specialty items for the craftsmen/hint of Victorian Motif the client wanted to create in her office!

Side of baked beans, side of coleslaw, side of BBQ?

I saw this on Holy Kaw first! 

At BCS We are always interested in innovative modern design, this is a perfect example! I really can't get over it!

If you thought you'd have to choose between backyard room to play and room to grill, this may be your favorite invention yet – a folding barbecue grill. These wall mounted grills by Focus-Creation conveniently fold down when you’re entertaining a group (or are just entertaining the thought of a mouth-watering meal!) and they fold up when not in use. And the steel firebowl looks great whether in the open or closed position. Another great thing about this wall-mounted grill is it can be mounted at any height, ideal for those with special needs. This is a great gadget if your yard is small but sweet, and ditto for balconies and small decks and awkwardly shaped spaces. Now anyone can barbecue to their heart’s content! For more information visit Focus.

Really random in Rome



I wasn't prepared for this kind of pretty in Rome the Villa Borghese (Rome's central park) took my breath away. After I found it- it was the only place I wanted to be. Near the Modern art museum.
The flora and fauna in Rome was unexpected, to say the least...Seussian, tropical, with a dash of English garden....who knew?
This guy was Olympic level adorable...I'm in love with an 89 yar old man, and I'm not afraid to say it!
Cappuccino 1,9987.. I took almost all their portraits. I have never been, nor will ever be a crazy cat lady, ah ah ah achoooo...but, I could be a crazy cap lady!
Steam punkish, with an early 1960's backyard BBQ edge? Mad scientist or Mad Men? great store...high end recycleables like rubber band earirings and, I kid you not, the coolest Mother flicking purses with wait for it....car visor closures. You simply flip up the flap to get into your purse .You can check your lipstick in the visor mirror! Fantastico!

When in Rome

The volcanic ash forced us to stay a little longer...no matter...more window shopping!
After all the gaudy churches, I yearned to spot clean lines!
Love this modern kitchen and the romantic in me loves these dishes. I might have to take up pottery just so I can recreate them!

See what happens when I chase the chaise?



Le Photique LOVE Etsy! I mean come on! These are so cheeky! They had an Eames chair as well but I liked these...they also had some cute vintage cameras for all you shutter bugs!

Chasing the Chaise

Have you all seen the Unhappy Hipster? The perfectly pithy site that turns Dwell photos into cartoons? I love it.
I think certain members of our extended family see us this way...unrealistic design... is it so wrong that I won't allow a recliner in my home...I know they're comfortable but so are old sweat pants. Unsightly, lumpy, and probably swimming with dust mites and bacteria...
My philosophy is function over form...most of the time. Really, I just don't want to look like we picked up freebies from the nursing home garage sale. I know Todd Oldham did a series for Lazy Boy but they seemed small and only mildly reclining...
My darling husband has back troubles and my Mother thinks it is cruel and unusual punishment that we don't seem to have a really comfortble chair in our family room for him...she's getting to me!
I know he enjoys the following from Restoration hardware...but his birthday isn't until November. hmmmm
The wheels are turning!
This pic looks a little spare, the actual chaise is quite striking in person and lends itself to that Mountain Modern aesthetic we love so much!
This may be a modern chaise, it may even come in black but it's just ripe for poking fun of, right? The red number looks like it's going to sneak up on your guests after dinner...

The sky is the... Lindal!

This is a beautiful Lindal Cedar Home that
we are building in Brown Ranch (between Ridgway and Telluride) the views are stunning. Jack, our project manager, took this shot recently. I think it captures the infinite sky and the connection the home has to the it's unique site quite well!
We are looking forward to building one of Lindal's newest Turkel Designs soon!

And this the other night in Telluride....ahhh beautiful sky!

On a very different note....I saw this today on Made by girl and loved all the shots of this home! The chalk board was brilliant!

Love this post!

Leapin' Liepke, I love it!

As some of you know, my favorite restaurant in Telluride is Cosmo...I have fixated on a Liepke painting in their dining room for several years...well, lucky me! Telluride Gallery of Fine Art had a fantastic exhibit tonight of his latest oils. While some of his colors are somber, which frankly, I am always drawn to...his vivid colors really captured my eye. Juicy limes, peacock blues, fushia and red oozed seduction. His subject matter illuminates the beauty of poetic limbs, and dewy skinned youth. Although sometimes older women strike tragic poses...each painting seems to throb with emotion. It was hard to walk away.
The paintings take your breath away but after you manage to break your gaze you notice the fine modern framing. A bold and thick silver leaf that made me wish I had inquired about where to find it!
