As we settle back into reality, that sense of normalcy and routine come crashing back. As the year resets, we crave a bit of that ourselves, as well as kickstarting some new healthy habits. But how many years do you make resolutions that don’t quite stick? This year we are taking those resolutions down to the studs and keeping the goal an overarching “slow down”.
Slow down after holiday travel and enjoy the comfort of home.
Slow down in over consuming after the holidays. Perfect time to shop vintage and check out.
Slow down after all of the holiday sweet treats. Bake some bread at home and learn more about the products we are consuming, eat clean with Purely Elizabeth.
Slow down in the start of the year fitness goals. Drop that marathon training that won’t quite stick, join a community and check out Ape Co.
Slow down and go for a walk, take in the little beauties.
Slow down and be in awe with the good before immediately jumping back into the grind in the new year.

“I work in the space industry, so my mind revolves around getting things right. Maurer did such a good job. Very, very organized. At the end of the day everything was cleaned up, not a thing laying around. On the interior I noticed they had a table in the family room, with their masking tape, various caulks, everything neat and clean and tidy, stacked up just right. Underneath were the paints, about an 8 foot square area. When they’d come back in the morning, they knew where everything was, no wasting time. I saw their ad in Boulder Lifestyle and was impressed that former clients said they showed up on time, were reliable, all the things that mattered to us. You know, I think they’re about the only contractor we’ve worked with that actually does what they say. We’re very happy and would hire Maurer again in a moment, and nobody else, honestly.”

Ringing in the New Year at Vasu Skin Solutions
Photo by Katie Todd Photography
This time of year brings festivities, cheer and... dry skin. While we love the holidays, we could do without the latter. Founded in 2010, Vasu Skin Solutions prides itself on its high level of expertise when it comes to skincare and laser treatments. For solutions to fine lines, stubborn hair, and more, look no further than Vasu Skin Solutions. With a background in nuclear power, laser science, anatomy, and physiology, licensed aesthetician and Vasu’s founder, Jennifer Fisher, brings a unique perspective to the skincare and laser hair removal industry. Vasu uses specialized devices to target specific skin concerns that have a variety of laser wavelengths, a rare amenity for a medical spa. The process is very personalized, and treatments are designed to highlight both inner and outer beauty. Hence the meaning behind “Vasu.” Jennifer explains that “‘Vasu’ means ‘illuminating light’ and ‘radiance’ in Sanskrit, which reflects the essence of the business: using laser light to enhance the client’s skin while maintaining a natural look.”
Longtime manager and business partner, Kate Aguis, a graduate of the College of International Esthetics in Denver, has an extensive background in laser treatments,

micro-needling, dermaplaning, microdermabrasion, and chemical resurfacing. Kate and Jennifer work hand-in-hand, performing laser treatments alongside each other. Their professionalism and respect for one another is exemplified in their glowing reviews and successful business model.
Jennifer and Kate’s commitment to inclusivity is essential in an industry with
a history of institutionalized racism. Jennifer and Kate are intentional and conscious with the products and treatments they recommend. Every recommendation is completely personal and tailored to each individual person based on what is best for them and their skin. “Our mission is to provide top-notch care to everyone, embracing all ethnic backgrounds and
skin types... Your unique skin health is our priority, and we will help you achieve your best complexion, no matter your background,” adds Jennifer.
To combat the dry Colorado climate, the duo recommends using a retinol at night, applying a thicker moisturizer, and exfoliating twice a week. There are a lot of misconceptions surrounding retinol
and both Jennifer and Kate want people to feel confident when incorporating it into their routine. Jennifer articulates how “Retinol, like a sunscreen, is necessary for most skincare regimens. At Vasu, we offer several different strengths of retinol. Even the most sensitive skin can tolerate retinol, as suggested by your Vasu technician.”
Exfoliating at home or scheduling monthly DiamondGlow treatments with dermaplane helps the skin reach its highest potential. “Exfoliated skin allows products to penetrate more effectively and deliver their intended benefits,” says Jennifer.
If you are wanting to enter the new year feeling refreshed and confident, Vasu Skin Solutions has you covered. “Clients often
step into Vasu with the weight of their day pressing down on them, but they typically leave feeling rejuvenated and lighter. Our dedicated technicians at Vasu are not just professionals; they genuinely care about the well-being of every client who walks through the door.”

CELEBRATING NEW YEAR CHINESE
With Creature Comforts Cafe & Rising Tiger
ARTICLE BY MEREDITH ROWE
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ELETTE WOOD OF ELLES EYE
“I’m proud that people have found community and comfort here. There’s so many places they can be, so it’s truly a gift that people decide to spend their time with us.”
Jess Liu is no stranger to hosting Chinese New Year celebrations. Before opening Creature Comforts Cafe in 2023, she’d put on festive gatherings at her home in Boulder and before that at her favorite Chinese restaurants in New York. She sees food and gathering as a central element of her family, both while she was growing up and now as she raises her two boys.
“Chinese New Year was such a special celebration for me growing up,” says Liu. “Lion dances, red packets—they were all just happy memories.”
But it wasn’t just the joy of the lion dance performances and getting red packets from elders that Liu remembers so affectionately. It was also the chance to cook all her favorite Chinese foods, like Lion’s Head meatballs ( 狮 子头 ) and Mapo tofu or dofu ( 麻婆豆腐).
Every year, the Chinese New Year falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice, kicking off a two-week celebration. For 2025, the emblem is the Snake, which embodies astuteness, subtlety, and metamorphosis.
This year, Liu will host her second dinner in her cafe in partnership with Rising Tiger’s Devin Keopraphay, Keopraphay is of Lao descent and runs what he calls an Asian-ish diner in Longmont, Colorado. A veteran of the Boulder County Farmers Market, he will be making his season return 2025 with the addition of his first brick & mortar.
On Saturday, February 1st, Liu and Keopraphay will do a ticketed, multi-course feast. The tasting menu event will include foods that are typical for celebrating the new year, like noodles for longevity and fish for prosperity, and will feature unique specialty items outside of Rising Tiger’s typical fare that customers and fans can’t get anywhere else. Keopraphay will do a riff on classic flavors, bringing some favorites to life and inviting guests to explore a new take on dishes they love.
For regulars of Creature Comforts Cafe, the event will feel like a transformation of the beloved space on Pearl Street. What’s typically a brightly lit cafe, full of plants, pops of green, and Salted Honey Lattes, will make room for dining tables, candles, and plenty of ambiance—leaning more into Liu’s fine dining background.
Creating space, especially one that can transform in this way, is very important to Liu, who’s dreamed of having her own since she was a little girl. Growing up, her family would go to a Chinese restaurant in Houston every Sunday for family dinner and also for special celebrations. It had a giant Lazy Susan for easy sharing and was foundational to her ideas around food and hospitality.
Liu majored in East Asian Studies in college and then spent her twenties in Japan and New York. She went to patisserie school, worked in fine dining restaurants, and eventually joined a restaurant group. She moved to Boulder in 2018 and sees Creature Comforts Cafe as a full-circle moment, which is why she’s poured so much of herself into the design, menu, events, and team.
Despite securing the lease for the space in the fall of 2021, it took Liu 408 days to get through permitting. Reflecting back on that time, she says it was a hard and painful road to opening, but the community was and continues to be incredibly supportive of her vision and business.
“I’m proud that people have found community and comfort here,” says Liu. “There’s so many places they can be, so it’s truly a gift that people decide to spend their time with us.”
Today, Creature Comforts Cafe serves as a gathering place for friends and family, coworkers and business partners, knitting and journaling groups, and, of course, people looking to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Rediscovering Natural Movement with Ape Co Movement School
ARTICLE BY AVERY YOUNG | PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER
Ironically, in our go, go, go society, we do a lot of sitting down and, in turn, neglect to nurture our bodies. When we do engage in exercise, it often involves quintessential activities such as walking, running, biking, lifting weights, etc. While these types of exercises are both beneficial and important, they can, at times, overshadow our foundation in natural movement as a form of exercise. Matt Bernstein and his Ape Co Movement School are taking us back to our roots while simultaneously encouraging growth and grace in one’s practice.
The main principles at the center of Ape Co Movement are: celebrate curiosity and creativity, balance intensity with gentleness, foster authentic connections, reflect, grow, and pursue excellence with joy. Matt adds, “I think we have an amazing community that really lives by these principles and comes together to share ideas, to practice.” This relaxed atmosphere promotes acceptance over perfection and is a refreshing take on exercise in an industry often dominated by competition. It also creates space for those who want to try movement but may be feeling apprehensive. The act of trying here is what counts.
“The most important benefit in working with us is that we really hone in on the idea of the mind body connection. Just like every other gym in town, we give people a great workout, but what we do differently is we help people to understand all of the different ways that they can move their body and help remind them that they have a much bigger capacity than they give themselves credit for,” explains Matt. In addition to movement, the classes at Ape Co tap into hand balancing, flexibility, strength, and physical preparedness. There are classes for beginners and classes for seasoned veterans. The latter classes rotate through every two months to ensure everyone is exposed to new movements and challenges while not feeling rushed with their practice. Matt argues his favorite part of the whole process is “watching someone say ‘There’s no way I can do that,’ to really embodying that skill. That is a gift.”
For Matt, the journey into movement began in Steamboat where he was working as a firefighter and ski patroller. He sought a greater sense of strength and coordination and to expand on the skills he already possessed. “When I first got into movement in around 2012, I started to see incredible progress in my body and practice," says Matt. "I never thought that I would be achieving skills I'd wanted for years so quickly. The way that my first teacher, Ido Portal, was teaching was truly incredible. He was able to take somebody like me who couldn't even
make the JV soccer team and give me things like a onearm handstand, a one-arm chin up, incredible flexibility, and all sorts of other amazing capacities that made me start to feel like a superhuman.” Matt had a desire to unlock this confidence in others, and thus, the Ape Co Movement School was born.
“Boulder is a great place to practice movement because there are so many ways to take what we learn in the gym to the outside world," says Matt. "Movement is incredibly transferable to all that Boulder has to offer. Whether you're a climber, a yogi, dancer, or martial artist, movement has a lot to offer you. We are so happy to be a part of the local community and to see our work supporting the place that we call home.”

For Elizabeth Stein, Whose Celebrated Granola Brand Launches a New Flavor This Month, Wellness Is All about Balance
ARTICLE BY LINDEN BUTRYM PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF PURELY ELIZABETH
Purely Elizabeth founder Elizabeth Stein isn’t afraid to play favorites with her nutritious granolas, oatmeal, and cereal. Cookie Granola, the scrumptious clusters of organic oats and whole grains in flavors of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and double chocolate, is her top choice “by far,” she says. “It’s a total game changer, whether for breakfast on top of yogurt or straight out of the bag as a snack.” This month, Elizabeth adds peanut butter to the Cookie Granola roster. Like her other products—all of which are gluten-free, vegan recipes with simple, nourishing ingredients—it’s probably going to be an instant hit.
Elizabeth, a certified holistic nutrition counselor, developed a love for healthy cooking in high school. She made her first batch of granola from her kitchen in New York in 2011, relocated to Boulder three years later, and has since built a brand beloved by health-conscious celebs and consumers everywhere. In addition to her products, Elizabeth has published a cookbook and launched a podcast, both dedicated to promoting ways to live purely. “To me, wellness is about achieving a holistic sense of balance—nourishing our bodies, minds, and spirits, and embracing practices that support our long-term health and happiness,” she says.

Before we hurry to Whole Foods for a bag of Cookie Granola, we chat with Elizabeth about her love for Boulder, what she’s cooking this winter, and her dreams for the new year.
WHAT PROMPTED YOUR MOVE FROM NEW YORK CITY TO BOULDER?
I was ready for a change. Boulder is the epicenter of the natural foods industry. It was the perfect opportunity to live in a place surrounded by nature, with an emphasis on health and wellness that aligns with my own values.
HOW DID IT FEEL THE FIRST TIME YOU SAW PURELY ELIZABETH IN A STORE?
I remember walking into Westerly Natural Market in New York City, spotting the product, and standing there, taking it in. It was an unforgettable moment of pride, excitement, disbelief, and motivation to keep going. I still get that feeling every time I see our product on a store shelf.
WHAT LESSONS HAVE YOU LEARNED WHILE RUNNING YOUR OWN BUSINESS?
The importance of adaptability and resilience. Challenges are inevitable, but how you approach them defines your path forward.
Photo by Mackenzie Ross
DURING THESE CHILLIER MONTHS, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY COOKING?
My go-to dessert is a baked apple crisp topped with our granola. It's the perfect blend of warm, spiced apples and crunchy goodness, and it fills the house with the most amazing aroma. For meals, I gravitate toward hearty soups. One of my favorites is a velvety protein butternut squash soup made with bone broth and cottage cheese. I love adding toasted seeds on top for an extra crunch and nutritional boost.
IF YOU COULD HAVE A HOME-COOKED MEAL WITH ANYONE, WHO WOULD IT BE?
My grandfather, who is no longer with us. I’d serve him a bowl of Purely Elizabeth granola, yogurt, and fresh fruit. I can’t imagine what his reaction would be to tasting something that embodies everything I’ve worked hard to create. It would be such a special and emotional moment.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT BOULDER DAY.
I wake up early and work out, whether it's on the Peloton, strength training, or a hike with my two Portuguese Water Dogs. Lucky’s Bakehouse has the best gluten-free pastries, so I go there before the morning rush to pick up treats for our office. Sometimes I stop at Wonder for a juice with ginger, lemon, and apple. I also love the shaved kale salad at Oak at Fourteenth. In the evenings, I read a good book and hang out in my sauna.
WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN 2025?
My goal is to build on the momentum we’ve achieved while staying true to Purely Elizabeth’s mission of helping our community thrive on their wellness journey. Personally, I want to continue growing as a leader and empowering our team. This year is about refining our culture, nurturing our people, and continuing to use business as a force for good.

the of heavy r i n g . harmony diamond
Sarah Anderson and Paul DeHaven have been writing music together for a very long time— 21 years, to be exact. They met in the Denver music scene in the early 2000s, playing in different projects and at open mic nights, and were two of the founding members of indie folk group Paper Bird. Today, they are the principal songwriters and two of the five members of the band Heavy Diamond Ring, alongside Blake Stepan, Tate Ignelzi, and Mike Lang.
On the subject of their storied history as collaborators, Anderson and DeHaven agree it's mostly been "smooth sailing." And it's not surprising to hear this, as they often finish each other's thoughts throughout the interview and are so in sync that when Sarah jokes that she has "Buckskin Root" in her herbal coffee, Paul somehow knows she means "Burdock." Their level of familiarity and compatibility likely comes from many years as songwriting partners. Or perhaps it's their innate compatibility that has allowed the songwriting partnership to thrive for as long as it has.
After Paper Bird, the two musicians wanted to keep working together and began writing. The early ideas they came up with in the period
that followed would become songs for what is now Heavy Diamond Ring. When asked if there was any idea of the sound they were going for initially, DeHaven affirms that he had a "loose vision" of what he hoped the project would become, while Anderson admits she didn't have any expectations. Both agree, however, that what the band has grown into has far exceeded their original goals for the collaboration.
While working on their first album, the two had various local session musicians come into the studio to record and ended up meeting the remaining three members of Heavy Diamond Ring.
What they have now is a locked-in and well-polished band of seasoned all-stars who have as much fun on stage with each other as they do engaging with their audiences. Anderson fronts the band with her dynamic voice, one moment gentle and lilting, the next powerful and emphatic. DeHaven's guitar lines provide texture and grit beside Lang's gospel-like piano playing. Stepan's emotive baselines and Ignelzi's energetic drumming drive the undercurrent of each song.
The band's music can sound like many things all at once. There are moments of Americana,
ARTICLE BY JESSE BOYNTON | PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER
Folk, Country, early 70s rock, and times when we hear a sound that is uniquely their own. This range can be felt by listening to their albums as well as seeing them live. "All Out of Angels" is an epic, coursing anthem that gets the crowd dancing and singing along, while songs like "Golden Days" offer wistful contemplation about life's simple beauty.
When asked what he hopes people will feel through his songwriting, DeHaven says it's not so direct. "I just want people to feel something… I want the world to feel like a more real place."
Typically DeHaven will send Anderson a recording with the bones of a song, and the latter will fill out the melody and the lyrics. Then, they'll bring the result to the rest of the band, and everyone will collaborate on the arrangement. Together, their musical prowess is felt by fellow musicians and casual listeners alike, as it translates to what might be the single most apparent quality of their project: harmony.
Photo by Kori Stanton
There is harmony in the way the songwriting matches the music. There is harmony in the way the arrangements balance the soaring vocal harmonies that blanket the band's beautiful instrumentation. There is harmony when you're at an outdoor concert in the summertime in Colorado, and you watch them play as the sun is beginning to set. The music perfectly scores the scenery. Things just feel right.
Both Anderson and DeHaven feel grateful for where the band has ended up, especially with how difficult it can be to be an artist today. Two major life events that have happened for the duo since the band's formation are DeHaven moving to Santa Fe and Anderson becoming a mother. Either one of these milestones could easily threaten the continuation of a band, and yet, if anything, it's made the importance of what they have clearer for each of them. DeHaven feels like the project is more intentional and focused now, and Anderson feels her appreciation for the band has only grown.
"After I had a kid, it was just very, very, very clear to me what in my life made sense and what did not. And this is one thing that makes sense
still," says Anderson. "I'm also really pumped that [my daughter] gets to be a part of this. And she loves these guys so much. It's so funny."
Heavy Diamond Ring is a band where you can get a different version of a song live than you do from the album, yet still walk away inspired with the same emotion. Their comfortability with one another and their shared vision allow them to continually explore new ideas and reinvent their own inspiration.
As performers, the goal is clear: simply to connect with more and more people. DeHaven comments on how rewarding this exchange can be and adds, "Nothing really feeds me as much as people saying, 'What you're doing means something to me.' I don't think that'll ever change."
A sense of community and family is felt at every one of their shows. There is a feeling of accessibility, where anyone can join in. DeHaven calls this a "happy accident," with Anderson suggesting that it's reflective of who the band members are as individuals.
"I love connecting with people, and I love when people feel welcome at our shows," says Anderson. It's clear that they value relationships, which is probably why they have a sprawling community of friends and family and an ever-growing fanbase. Many members of their community have been in their lives from their earliest days of music-making, including fellow Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff. Anderson and DeHaven met Rateliff many years ago when all three songwriters were just starting out. They remain friends and collaborators to this day, with Rateliff featuring on "When You're Away," a hauntingly beautiful offering from the band's latest album.
Heavy Diamond Ring has a new album on the way, set to be released March 2025. Anderson and DeHaven agree that this is their most realized and cohesive effort to date. The band will begin releasing singles in early 2025. Keep an eye out this Spring for an album release show and tour dates through 2025. Find these dates at HeavyDiamondRing. com and follow them at @heavydiamondring.

INVESTING IN OUR LOCAL FOOD SYSTEMS
SOIL BOULDER’S IMPACT ON LOCAL FARMERS AND GROWERS
ARTICLE BY GRACE YOON
Nestled in the heart of Boulder’s agricultural community, SOIL Boulder is revolutionizing the way we think about our local food systems. Originally launched in 2018 under the guidance of the Slow Money Institute, SOIL Boulder is a 501(c)(3) that emerged from a vision of connecting local resources with local needs. SOIL Boulder is not just about food production—it’s about cultivating community resilience and economic sustainability.
“We’re here to catalyze the flow of money into local food systems,” says Suzanne Prendergast, executive committee vice president of SOIL. “It’s about more than supporting farmers; it’s about deepening our connection to the places where we live.” This mission is realized through SOIL’s innovative loan program, which provides 0% interest loans to local farmers and food entrepreneurs. By eliminating financial barriers, SOIL Boulder enables farmers to invest in their operations, fostering a more resilient local food economy.
REAL IMPACT THROUGH NURTURE CAPITAL
Success for SOIL Boulder is measured not by profits, but by the tangible impact on the community, reflecting Slow Money founder Woody Tasch’s philosophy of "nurture capital."
These are just two of the 34 loan recipients who have benefited from SOIL Boulder’s financial support, and they are just getting started.
COLLABORATION TO STRENGTHENING LOCAL FOOD & SOIL SYSTEMS
SOIL Boulder’s success goes beyond providing loans—it’s built on strong partnerships. Collaborations with organizations such as the Flatirons Farmers Coalition, Yellow Barn Farm, and Slow Food Boulder have enhanced its ability to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of local farmers.
“We love knowing our 0% loans help small businesses thrive,” Prendergast shares. This support has allowed local farmers to weather financial hurdles, ensuring they can continue producing food despite unpredictable challenges like fluctuating weather patterns.
One example of SOIL Boulder’s impact is Dryland Agroecology Research (DAR). A recent loan enabled DAR to purchase a row mulcher, which transformed their operations. The mulcher has significantly scaled DAR’s operations and reduced labor costs. Similarly, the Tool Library utilized a SOIL loan to acquire essential farming equipment, helping seven local farms streamline their work and reduce costs.
“We engage with the community through SOIL Socials,” Prendergast explains. These bi-monthly events foster organic relationships between farmers, food entrepreneurs, and supporters, allowing the community to stay connected and responsive to emerging challenges. Through these gatherings, SOIL Boulder has built trust with farmers, who now see them as an advocate and supportive partner. By empowering farmers to produce nutrient-dense food within Boulder County, they are nourishing both the land and the community.
Grama Grass & Livestock, one of SOIL Boulder’s partners, exemplifies this mission through intentional grazing methods that regenerate soil health and restore prairie ecosystems.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
SOIL Boulder’s mission thrives through community involvement. Anyone can join the SOIL community with a $250 annual donation. By becoming a member, individuals contribute directly to sustaining local farms and strengthening Boulder’s food systems. In a world where food security and environmental health face growing challenges, SOIL Boulder is demonstrating that local action can drive global change—one farm at a time.

Little Horse, Big Charm
Slow Down and Shop Boulder's Treasure Trove of Vintage Finds
ARTICLE BY MILLIE D'SOUZA
PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER
After the whirlwind of the holiday season, there’s a craving for a sense of familiarity, reset, and slowing down. Amid the chaos of consumerism, vintage shopping offers a refreshing alternative—a more intentional way of shopping that treasures the past while promoting sustainable living. For over twenty-some years, Mike Price’s Little Horse Vintage has become an antique shopper’s dream in its new Boulder home, a place where those can connect with history, uncover unique stories, and shop just a little bit slower.
For Price, vintage shopping isn’t just about buying beautiful objects, it’s about the thrill of discovery. “I’ve always been drawn to what speaks to me,” he shares. His keen eye is shaped by iconic art movements such as Bauhaus, Art Deco, and mid-century modern, as well as the free-spirited designs of the 70s disco era. “We’re very consistent in being inconsistent,” Price laughs. “Nothing ever really goes out of style here because we’re always looking for that inherent specialness in every piece.” This eclectic philosophy fills the shop with surprises, from classic literature to avant-garde Jazz records.
Price’s favorite part of the job? The treasure hunt. “It’s like being a kid again, playing and searching,” he says. His best advice for vintage newbies? “Gravitate towards what pleases your eye and what makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up.”
Over the years, Price has seen a growing trend in younger generations reaching for vintage, both for ethical and environmental reasons. “Millennials are realizing old stuff is cool and lasting,” he notes. Parents often bring their children into the shop, sparking curiosity and appreciation for timeless objects like typewriters and rotary phones. For Price, it's a way of planting seeds for the next generation to value the charm of the past, just as he once did.
It seems the journey of Little Horse Vintage is just as rich as the treasure it holds. Growing up on Sugarloaf just west of Boulder, Price explored
“There’s something about holding a piece of history and knowing it’s found a new home- it’s magic.”
antique stores on family trips as a child, developing an early appreciation for things old. After earning a Master’s degree in Poetry in San Francisco, where he honed his eye for mid-century furniture and art, he returned to Boulder in 2000. Little Horse began humbly in a cleaned-out garage on 8th and Pearl, followed by a brief moment selling from an airstream trailer at the 7th and Pearl Antique Market.
As the business grew, so did Price’s determination. Little Horse Vintage moved through various locations, each area and the people along the way shaping a piece of what it is today. From East Pearl Street to Louisville to Fort Collins, the shop has become a community staple, ever-evolving with Price’s vision and countless connections. A collection of stories, sustainability, and togetherness, Little Horse Vintage is more than just a shop. Whether you’re a seasoned treasure hunter or new to vintage shopping, Price’s philosophy of following your instincts and blending the old with the new offers an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and find beauty in the past. As Price puts it, “There’s something about holding a piece of history and knowing it’s found a new home - it’s magic.”

Mid-Century Marvel
Melton Design Build Brings a Modern Transformation to a Boulder Rancher

In central Boulder, a classic mid-century rancher has been reimagined, blending its traditional charm with a contemporary second-story addition. Thanks to the team at Melton Design Build, the home now boasts breathtaking sightlines, seamless indoor-outdoor connections, and playful architectural elements that enhance its hillside perch. The result is a stunning reinvention that harmonizes with Boulder’s natural beauty while meeting the needs of modern living.
Perched on a hilltop, this home offers panoramic views of the Front Range, which were thoughtfully integrated into the design. Every room—whether it’s the kitchen, living area, or bathroom—capitalizes on the bucolic setting. The architects ensured that even routine activities like washing dishes or taking a shower connect homeowners with Boulder’s iconic Flatirons and lush surroundings.
Founded in 1993, Melton Design Build is known for its expertise in creating spaces that enhance lives. Their design-build approach, which integrates every phase of the process from concept to construction, allowed for seamless collaboration and consistent communication throughout this project. The project team for this transformation included: Karen, project developer; Jess, interior designer; Shawn, architect; Gianna, project manager; and Craig, site superintendent. Special recognition was given to Craig by the team for his exceptional work in bringing the vision to life.
Originally a modest mid-century ranch, the home has been elevated—literally and figuratively—with a second-story addition. This new level was designed to blend harmoniously with the existing structure, with architectural details that invite the eye to explore its airy, open quality. Cladding on the addition mirrors materials used on the ground floor, while black-framed windows create cohesion throughout the exterior. The attention to detail extends throughout the home, from the meticulous craftsmanship of the multi-slide door to the thoughtful division of spaces. Upstairs, private suites provide sanctuary, while shared living areas foster connection. The interplay of contemporary materials and classic lines ensures the home feels both fresh and timeless.

This remodel exemplifies Melton Design Build’s ability to create spaces that honor the past while embracing the present.
Melton’s team ensured the addition didn’t overshadow the home’s original charm but instead enhanced it. Challenges like incorporating a large steel-framed multi-slide door, a centerpiece of the remodel, were met with ingenuity, ensuring structural integrity while achieving the desired aesthetic. The four panels glide and stack neatly, creating an expansive opening that invites fresh air and crisp Colorado evenings into the home. This feature seamlessly connects the living spaces to a meticulously designed deck with lounging, dining, and cooking zones, each reflecting the home’s interior layout.
Working within Boulder’s buildable envelope, the remodel pushed boundaries while respecting local regulations. For example, the roof height was carefully calibrated to stand just four inches below the limit, and solar shadow restrictions influenced the deck design. Existing brick openings also required precise coordination to achieve a balanced and cohesive
window pattern. Custom solutions like a dry deck system were employed to channel water effectively, ensuring that outdoor spaces remained functional and comfortable year-round.
Sustainability was also a key consideration throughout the project. From energy-efficient design choices to a low HERS (Home Energy Rating System) rating, the remodel aligns with Melton’s commitment to environmentally responsible building practices.
This remodel exemplifies Melton Design Build’s ability to create spaces that honor the past while embracing the present. This mid-century rancher’s transformation is more than a remodel; it’s a testament to the power of thoughtful design and respect for a home’s mid-century flair. With its stunning sightlines, architectural innovation, and seamless connection to nature, this home is a modern marvel that pays homage to its roots while embracing the future.
Estate: A Colorado Legacy

As another year rolls around our minds will inevitably dig into that old archive of things we have meaning to do, things we could do better. I am all for self-efficacy, but I have come to question this tradition as it so often focuses on fixing what is wrong instead of celebrating all that is right. In the introduction to her wonderful book, Start Where You Are, Pema Chodron says, “We already have everything we need. There is no need for self-improvement. All these trips that we lay on ourselves—the heavy-duty fearing that we’re bad and hoping that we are good, the identities that we so dearly cling to, the rage, the jealousy, and the addictions of all kinds—never touch our basic wealth. They are like clouds that temporarily block the sun. But all the time our warmth and brilliance are right here. This is who we really are. We are one blink of an eye away from being fully awake.”
For 2025 I recommend embracing Kärt Besvär. This Swedish phrase blends kärt, meaning “dear or cherished,” and besvär, which means “pain." While this might sound like going in the opposite direction of what we want, in some ways, it diffuses the whole New Year’s madness and asks us to be present with the daily tasks of our lives and, in so doing, infuse the quotidian with meaning. Bills, dentist appointments, packing school lunch, and jury duty aren’t going anywhere this year, so instead of feeling like we have to change things to be our best selves, how about knowing we are bringing our best selves to our life, as it is, mess and all?

Re-read an old favorite. If Anna Karenina is gathering dust by your bedside, give up! Go back to something you loved as a kid or young adult and revisit it. It’s a low-pressure way to time travel and visit your former self. Take an awe walk. Dacher Keltner (DacherKeltner.com), a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley and the director of the Greater Good Science Center explains that finding awe and wonder on a walk (or anywhere else) can be as simple as pausing and noticing the world around us—from something as seemingly small as a flower bud to something as big as a mountain sunset stretched across the entire sky. Other sources of awe include what he refers to as “moral beauty”: witnessing the kindness or goodness or generosity of other people—or listening to music, seeing art, and contemplating big ideas, all of which can happen during an “awe walk.”
Keltner said that they found “three really cool things” when comparing the results of the control group to the “awe walk” group.
“Over the eight weeks of the study, the ‘awe walk’ group started to feel more and more awe. So, as we search for awe, we find more of it, which I think is really important. These people—75 years old or older—over time felt less pain and distress. Chronic pain and pain when you’re old is serious. It just rattles your consciousness, and here was a little technique that gave them some peace.”
Here's to more peace this year.
