My client on this Stapleton project told me right from the start that her mom, who she recently lost, had always told her that the kitchen needed to be remodeled. She also told me that the main requirements were that Mom’s plate display rack and her seed knobs had to stay, but that the laundry […]
Sponsored by the Homebuilder’s Association of Metro Denver, the Colorado Awards for Remodeling Excellence, known as the CARE awards, are the largest and longest running contest recognizing remodeling of all types, including both commercial and residential projects. Categories are numerous, and include kitchens, bathrooms, green building, and much more. CARE awards are judged blind by […]
This main floor interior remodel project was unusual for Stapleton. The request was to do away with the family room fireplace altogether, add one in the barely used front living room (in hopes that it would be barely used no more), and furnish both with built-ins and new furniture. I was so happy to hear […]
Charlene had attempted three times to design her very large master bedroom on her own and finally called me in to help her. I asked what she did and did not like about her space. Just about the only thing she did like, loved in fact, was the painting by Stapleton artist, Jody Rigsby. Everything […]

Months of work goes in to even the smallest remodeling project. Not only do I draw the specifications for my projects, but I assist homeowners with the selection and ordering of the finish materials, and work with the contractors throughout the process. I don’t post drawings in the galleries on my website, nor do I […]
I always experience a lot of Basement Finish activity this time of year as our kids go back to school and the holidays approach. It’s a great time for a basement finish project. If design is completed in August or September, your basement can likely be completed in time for Grandma’s arrival in December. Residential […]
