Our philosophy centers around creating unique and personalized environments for our clients, designed specifically around their lifestyle and individuality. We love to learn about their personal style and where they find inspiration. In our new Q + A interview series, we’re sharing some of the ways our clients are enjoying their homes, along with their favorite sources of inspiration for living well.

We’re kicking off our series with No. 026, which was a large-scale renovation of a classic Tudor home. Our clients relocated from Europe to one of the most sought-after historical neighborhoods in Denver. Informed by their travels and European upbringing, they have incredible style - a balance of bespoke luxury and modern, casual comfort. This home was a dream project from top to bottom, with a story behind every detail. 

Q. What are three words to describe how you feel in your home?

A. “Cozy, Comfortable, Intentional.”

Q. What are some of your favorite ways to spend time in your home?

A. “We love to spend time outside when the weather allows. We spend a lot of time in our kitchen, and we love to all spend time together in the formal room.”

Q. What are some of your favorite ways to set the mood and create ambiance in your home?

A. “I love to have fresh flowers, especially since we’ve moved into this house after the renovation. We loved how you filled our house with flowers after the install and how nice it looked when we arrived! I love burning all the candles you brought in.”

Q. One of our favorite ways to personalize our client’s homes is to incorporate design details that honor your family’s lifestyle and memories. Can you share some of the ways our design team added meaningful design elements in your home to honor your family’s story?

A. “We have quite a few elements in our house that tell our story. The artist sketch of the cathedral in my hometown that you had commissioned by an artist is very special. We love the collage in the hallway with all the framed photos of our family exploring my hometown in Europe and photography of my husband’s hometown.  You included so many elements in this house that really showcase who we are and our family’s history.”

Q. What does living well mean to you?

A. “Wellness is very important to us. We’re a super healthy family, we’re active, we workout a lot, we eat healthy. We eat at home a lot which makes it easy to eat healthy. We really love to be home, this is our happy place!”

Q. How would you describe your personal style?

A. “It is definitely a combination of traditional meets contemporary. I love taking something old and historic and updating and making it current. The styles that speak to me are Parisian apartments that have been restored, and townhomes in lower Manhattan, NYC or London … older buildings with lots of natural light, designed with a modern interior.”

Q. Did your childhood environment or upbringing influence your personal style? 

A. “Yes, I grew up in Europe, so I am drawn to more of a historic feel. The neighborhood that I grew up in has a lot of beautiful old homes which is why I feel this way.”  

Q. Who are your style icons? Are there any famous people or influencers that inform your personal style?

A. “I love to get inspiration all over the place. Some of my favorite style influencers on Instagram are @ariellecharnas, I love her style. I really like @thefashionbugblog in London. Those two are always on point.” 

Q. What are three things you can’t live without?

A. “I definitely can’t live without my morning coffee, first thing! I cannot live without my workouts at Barry’s Bootcamp and unfortunately, I can’t live without my phone, so that’s on my top three list.” 

Q. Where are some of your favorite places in Colorado?

A. “I love Cherry Creek. I love being there. For restaurants, We love Matsuhisa for sushi, Le Colonial and Le Bilboquet. Those are our favorites. My favorite place in all of Colorado is Aspen, we like to stay at The Little Nell.”

Q. We know you’ve travelled extensively, what are some of your favorite cities for inspiration?

A. “Any time we’re in Europe, it feels the most like me. I love Parisian design. I’m a city girl. I love to visit London, Paris, New York City and LA.” 

Q. Are there any places in the world you’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t yet?

A. “St. Barths is on my bucket list.”
