The Indigo Grand Sofa

I have been searching for a new sofa and found this absolutely gorgeous sofa. Oversized, casual and comfortable, the Indigo Grand Sofa at Crate in Barrel, is a statement piece for any large living area. To me, this couch just screams “come lay down and relax”. Crate and Barrel’s description of the couch says it best:
“Paola Navone’s Indigo sofa has a soft, casual structure for the ultimate sink-in, cocooning experience. Not your conventional sofa, two loose bolsters stack as “arms” at each end of a long, premium down-filled bench cushion, and seven back feather-down pillows toss, nestle and layer. Washed 100% linen slipcover with contrasting jumbo edge-stitching is the natural choice for this fashionably slouched look. Beneath that casual attitude is a serious sinuous wire suspension—the gold standard for comfort— that supports and conforms to your every move, from upright sitting to downright napping.”
Would you purchase this sofa?

Hate your laminate countertops?

Granite countertops are often on the top of buyers list when purchasing a new home. Installing granite countertops into the kitchen can be an expensive endeavor. A less expensive option is concrete countertops. Concrete can offer a lot of the same benefits as granite with a slightly different look (and feel). 
If you find yourself in a home with laminate counters there are many options to replace it with. If you are considering concrete countertops, you do not need to replace the laminate. Instead, you can pour the concrete over the laminate countertops. Although, I have never done it there are a number of resources out there that explain how to do it and of course ‘after’ pictures that look great. Thinking of attempting concrete over the laminate countertops? 
Here are some resources for you:
Before attempting make sure you do your research and of course, let me know how it goes!

A modern spin on subway tiles.

Subway tiles have become quite popular in both bathrooms and kitchens. Subway tiles can be glass, porcelain or ceramic and it offers a fresh, clean look. Commonly, subway tiles are white but can be different colors. This picture showcases a bathroom’s backsplash with purple subway tiles. This is a great option to bring some color into a room. 
What do you think? Would you do a purple backsplash?

Buyers – Taking Title

Taking title can often be a mysterious process for buyers. Often it is something discussed at the beginning of the home buying process and if no issues arise, it is not discussed again until closing. When starting to look at homes an agent will ask how you want to take title when purchasing the home. 

The most common ways to take title are as follows:
1. Sole Ownership: This one is the easiest to understand, it is when there is only one person/business or entity that will be purchasing. useful for: a single person, one business or trust taking ownership.
2. Tenants in Common: two or more people purchasing the home with equal rights. This option has rights of survivorship, meaning if one person were to pass away, the surviving owner would hold full right to title.

3. Tenancy in Common: two or more people have ownership rights. Each owner has undivided share in the property and the shares do not need to be equal but percentage of ownership between owner must equal 100%. This option does not have rights to survivorship. This means if one owner dies they may designate a beneficiary to transfer ownership of their part of the property. An owner may also sell their interest in the property to another owner at any time.

Make sure to have a conversation with your real estate agent about the different types of ways you may take title. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is a great holiday to take time and not only give thanks but reflect. I am so thankful for where I am in life – Denver, a new career, close to family and so many other blessings! I hope each and every one of you get the opportunity to spend quality time with your loved ones during this holiday.
This is my first Thanksgiving in Denver (actually the first holiday in Denver) so it will be a little different but good nonetheless. See, my family is very close and every single holiday we spend together. This Thanksgiving we will not be together but were lucky enough to celebrate last week. I have found I am not the only one in Denver to be family-less this Thanksgiving as there are so many transplants. It seems many people’s Thanksgivings are with friends rather than families here. How grateful am I to have friends that are willing to take me in and share their holiday with me? 
I leave you with some great tables set for Thanksgiving because a holiday centered around food and family mandates a great table setting! Happy Thanksgiving to all!
