Great room under reconstruction. This dated 60s A-frame set in the Colorado front range foothills got some big 21st century love when a couple with renovation experience decided to take the plunge. The entire interior was gutted and a new addition added desired square footage and a 2 car garage. I was called in to […]
One of the most overlooked but easiest ways to bring a little pizzazz to your home’s exterior is to select a distinctive and inviting color for the front door. It adds personality, curb appeal and creates a welcoming focal point, much like a nice scarf or tie completes an outfit. Even the boxiest little “plain […]
Exterior color is seen in the context of its surroundings. This Lyons home, perched high and visible on a hilltop, is surrounded by red rock and Ponderosa pine. When first built, a light ‘default neutral tan’ paint color was applied. Because of its light ‘value’ (light to dark scale), it contrasted too much with its […]

We needed help updating both the interior and exterior of our home. My husband and I tend to be drawn in different directions, and then we don’t like either of our choices once they are installed. Cathy was able to quickly pick up on what works for both of us, and develop color palettes that […]
