Rustic Bear

I have always been a person that loves to bring the outside in the home. Incorporating outdoor elements can help create a rustic feel in the home. Living in Colorado, it is hard not to want to incorporate the great outdoors into our homes as it is often what drive a lot of people to Colorado. If you are looking for shelving with a rustic touch look no further than this bear bathroom door shelf found here.

This shelf is a great way to show your love of the outdoors in a unique. What do you have in your home to show your love from the great outdoors?

Rain, Rain Go Away!

The past two weeks have been out of character for Denver. It has been grey, cloudy and rainy. Denver is lucky enough to experience 300+ days of the year of sunshine so this weather is definitely a rarity. Truth be told, it is starting to remind me of the weather on the East Coast. Actually, the East Coast is getting better weather than Denver right now, which is not acceptable!

Close to two weeks of this type of weather starts to affect you. I am finding myself a bit more tired, negative and grumpy. Frustrated, I keep checking the weather only to see no sunshine until next week, which accentuates my feelings of despair. Yesterday, I had enough. I was feeling sorry for the awful weather, and myself something I have no control over. I have decided not to allow the lack of sun to bring me down. When the sun refuses to come out, you have to create your own sunshine!
Denver, how are you handling the weather lately? What are you doing to create your own sunshine?

The ‘Other’ Animal Print

I won’t lie over the past few years I have gotten into the animal print trend. I don’t discriminate; giraffe, zebra, leopard and cheetah. Lately I have found a new animal print antelope. Comparatively, it is a bit more subdued than its animal friends and it seems like it would be a great option if you were looking to venture into animal print for the first time. Here are a few ideas of how to bring the antelope print into your home.
As a runner for the stairs:
Rug in a study/library:
In the bedroom:
Paired with stripes:
Paired with floral:
Have no need for a rug but want to incorporate antelope into your home? Use wallpaper!
Where else would you put the antelope pattern in your home?

Keep Going….

It is no secret that the Denver real estate market is incredibly tight. Low inventory and many buyers s a multiple offer, auction style situation is created. I could talk to you into I am blue in the face about the unique dilemma the Denver real estate market is in but I will not. This post will speak to the emotional side of this market; it is heartbreaking at times to be a buyer. Your real estate agent can set you up with perfect expectations – you WILL have to put in more than one offer, you WILL lose out on a home but once it happens, it still stings.

At times the market can be draining for all involved. The other afternoon I found myself feeling probably very similar to what buyers feel in this market – frustrated, hopeless and overwhelmed. I was on the phone with a family member who is going through some health issues, and after listening to me speak she said, “I understand the feeling of wanting to be somewhere that you are not at yet”. Well, yes, isn’t that really what is driving these emotions? In essence, we are all fighting this same battle whether with our health, career, home, family and/or relationships. The process is what causes the emotions.

So, here are six ways a person can cope with tough times, such as buying a home in the Denver market.

The current Denver market mandates a lot of work in order to get a home. It is crucial to be able to trust your real estate agent and know they are working with and FOR you. Always ask what other creative solutions that may have to find a home in a market like this one.
