One thing I love about Colorado is waking up early in the morning and having that feeling of Fall in the air. Fall is one of my favorite times of year in the mountains 🍁 and though I’m still fully celebrating summer ☀️ it’s nice to come back to that feeling many times throughout the year. Cozy, yet refreshing and crisp. A reminder of new beginnings and possibility for what lies ahead. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👈🏼 starting the week out with this mentality and ready to Work! Let’s get after it!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I will forever be a fan of Benjamin Moore Revere Pewter. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
YES I have a LOT of go-to colors in my back pocket but this is one of my all times faves. It just looks SO good in our Colorado sunlight! Here, we decided to put it on the exterior siding and though it looks different than what we’re accustomed to it looking like inside, it’s still a slam dunk! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you find certain colors that work for your climate, you can replicate the feels again and again and it just works! Looking for a beautiful greige that creates the warm and fuzzies, yet feels sophisticated and rich? Revere Pewter FTW! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh and if you’re ever questioning a color choice - head straight over to @crestedbuttecolors and @crestedbuttedesign for some guidance and reassurance. They are so knowledgeable and love to help! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We are just SO darn lucky to live here and do what we love y’all! This place is PURE MAGIC and it makes doing our job that much easier. When surrounded by so much natural beauty, it’s easy to take inspiration direct from the source ~ Mother Nature!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If someone had told me 13 years ago I’d be living, working, breathing and loving with my best friend - designing and building custom homes - raising two troublemakers (five and three! Now where’d that time go?) WELL I would’ve laughed it off and said you were Crazy! There’s been a tremendous amount of love, growth, lessons learned, long days and hard work but I am SO lucky to have @somrak_concept by my side. Our Team, our Clients, Friends and Family just make life SO rich and amazing! It’s not all sunshine and rainbows but it sure feels Pretty darn close. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
EnJOY this beautiful sunset shot from one of our recent design-build projects in Buckhorn Ranch! ☀️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Crested Butte is a popular spot for people to come visit over the Fourth of July weekend and I can’t say there’s any place I’d rather be than right here celebrating beautiful summer days with family and friends. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you in Town and visiting over the Holiday weekend? Have you fallen in love with Crested Butte yet? If so (and let’s be honest, it’s Easy to fall for this place) give Ben and I a call to discuss your ideas for home design, available property and scheduling. We love meeting new people and enJOY the first step in the design build process - getting to know YOU, our valued Clients!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This kitchen design makes me happy! Warm neutrals combine with beautiful quartzite countertops, skillfully crafted cabinetry and of course my favorite @sonnemanlight Cantina Pendants! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This was a fun primary bath concept to work on with Heather! Floating vanity with a back lit mirror and clean lines create the understated WOW factor. The details make the difference 💫

This chandelier is still one of my absolute favorites! It is unique and absolutely stunning 😍

The Cantina Pendants from Sonneman have a flask-like flat profile and they rotate randomly to create an asymmetric relationship with their surroundings - in this case a beautiful mountain back drop! You have to see it in person to understand the beauty first hand! 🌟

It's starting to warm up here in Crested Butte, our ski season is over (sigh) and we're slowly turning the page towards summer - biking, hiking and spending time outside in the beautiful Colorado sunshine! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sharing this photo of our living room because the warm, neutral tones remind me of spring time in the mountains. Onwards and upwards into a new season my friends!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
