Denver Design Obsession: My Washington Park Heartthrob
I have passed this great house on the shores of Washington Park many times. I can't seem to get it out of my consciousness. It looks as though it was a remodel. If my hunch is right then the carved siding must be original, right?
The 1st 2 shots were taken last summer.
I realize the remaining pics are not the most quality shots, dead of winter, not staged, etc. Call me a chicken if you care to but I did not want to ring the doorbell to ask if I could even the blinds, hide the alarm CO sign, or take the plastic off the grill. I think the homeowners remain happier knowing a perfect stranger is only taking house stalker photos and not bugging them about a photo shoot! Bear with me! The shots I took last summer were farther away because I was sure the police were coming to take the "mamarazzi" away if I kept up my obsessive house hunter shots, and drool wiping.
Let's discuss what mama likes about this modest little darling....for one thing I love the copper tile siding. They are actually metallic and reflect brilliantly in the mile-high sun! I also love the clean modern windows juxtaposed with the slightly more traditional contemporary craftsman windows. It's a warm modern. A modern your grandma might like, a modern that allows for function not just form.
The home owners did a great job with the landscaping too, grasses, architectural branches...inviting patio...
Contemporary Craftsman usually nods at asian influences just like this one...but maybe it's me but I can't help seeing the carving as slightly Polynesian. I really love it. I think the colors, form, etc could easily be translated into a bigger version for a more rural setting.
Did I mention the exterior lighting...my house crush just goes on and on!

Design Inspiration Supermarket Finds
I'm a big fan of secret stashes...This jar tile would be perfect in a powder room or butler's kitchen....I dream of a butler's kitchen...
Supermarket is one of my favorite online creative design stores! All the following products are found there...
lI love this fantastic shadow bulb! It's perfect for those apartment dwellers who have such short leases that paint might be too much of a commitment! Voila! Instant atmosphere.
This is genius! Who says the baby boomer set can't have fantastic "health" accessories! Be Prilosec Proud, I say! Counter culture even!

Just because the walls are up...
Doesn't mean they are being defensive! Exciting progress in trail's Edge. This is from late last week. Yesterday looked sunny but it was cold enough to ruin an air compressor or shatter 2x4s!
