IF YOU’RE LIKE ME— meaning you are old enough to remember the ’70s—then you may have grown up in a home with just one bath. No matter how many people lived in the house (there were six of us), everyone just figured out how to share the space. Even my first home, which I bought with my husband in 1988, had only one bathroom. But of course I dreamed of living in a home with more. (At least one more... Please?) Fate answered. As we’ve “traded up” over the years, each home has had one more bath than the last; our most recent home had four full baths and a powder room. It felt luxurious for everyone, including guests, to have their own private spaces. This issue is all about creating a bathroom that is more than just a place to brush your teeth. Our featured baths (starting on page 36) are large and luxurious, and prove that solid design and fine finishes can turn a basic, utilitarian room into a daily sanctuary. We also found some divine powder rooms (page 27). Although small, powder rooms are one of the most used spaces in the house. It’s really the perfect room in which to go bold—and because it’s so small, you can splurge on exciting finishes. If you’re prepping for a bath remodel of your own, be sure to check out “The Goods” (page 19), loaded with beautiful products and accessories; I’m confident that you will find a must-have item, no matter your style. Finally, turn to our back page to get expert tips on working with tile. After tricked-out kitchens, spa-like baths are the most soughtafter spaces for homebuyers. But beyond that practical perk, a welldone bath can be a peaceful and rejuvenating place to begin and end a hectic day. All my best,

Waterworks for All Take a look: Textiles ALTHOUGH designed for warmth and function, textiles such as quilts and blankets can also serve as canvases for artistic expression. The Durango Arts Center will celebrate that creative spirit with Textiles Today: Redefining the Medium, an exhibit that reviews contemporary textiles from 19 internationally recognized artists. To complement the show, three of the artists will lead a series of lectures and workshops. April 24-June 2; durangoarts.org.

WATERWORKS, the venerable bath fittings and accessories company, is adding a more wallet-friendly line— called Waterworks Studio—to its portfolio of classic offerings. Though the pieces may be more affordable, style and quality are on par with the outfitter’s stellar reputation. See the full line at Waterworks’ new showroom in the Denver Design District (and get the latest on bath trends by following co-founder Barbara Sallick’s blog, The Perfect Bath, at theperfectbath.com). waterworks.com
Wild for Wallpaper WALLPAPER IS BACK—but not in the country florals or flocked velvet of days past. The trend is toward big, bold patterns, or retro prints with a modern spin. Two Denver area wallpaper fans, Carrie Dailey and Ashley Allen, recently opened Covered Wallpaper, a small shop that specializes in hard-to-find and locally-crafted papers. “We saw that there was a gap in the market,” says Allen, “and we wanted to fill it.” coveredwallpaper.com

AS A YOUNG INTERN fresh out of design school, Jessica Margolis was tasked with finding an antique mirror for a client. Her inability to track down just the right piece sparked the idea to produce what she couldn’t find. “I’m a do-it-yourself kind of girl,” says Margolis, who started Left Bank Collection, which offers a line of antique-inspired mirrors as well as custom pieces from its warehouse in Denver’s hip RiNo district. leftbankcollection.com

We find the rooms that feel just right— and tell you how to get the look
Glamorous & Sexy With showstopping tile and luxe fixtures, designer Donna Guerra brings feminine glam to an edgy mountain-modern chalet in Aspen
BY CAROLINE EBERLY PHOTOGRAPHY BY MICHAEL PECK
Tile “The powder rooms we design are always dramatic because it’s the most visited bathroom in the house. When I saw this brand new [at the time] tile, I said, ‘I have to use this,’ especially because of the antler motif. We had to reduce our budget in other areas so we could get this tile! We gave Ann Sacks the wall dimensions and they made it to order; the repeat is perfect on both sides.” Mirror and glass antler mosaic by Erin Adams for Ann Sacks, annsacks.com
Sink “It grounds the brown tones in the room and makes it feel a little more solid. The backdrop is a busy pattern, so the sink gives the space focus without upstaging the tile.” Glass sink by Vitraform, vitraform.com
Sconces “This particular fixture had a crystal feel to it, so it brought that bit of elegance and femininity into the space. I like sconces [in a powder room]; sometimes pendants can get in your way in a room of this scale.” Agatha Wall Sconce by Hèmèra Lighting, illumsys.com
Cabinetry “We wanted to ‘float’ the cabinet, and the lighting underneath [by Robert Singer Lighting] gives it that cantilevered feeling. It’s one big drawer that pulls open from the top, so there’s a place to store the toilet paper.” Ebony-stained walnut cabinet by Genesis, genesiscabinet.com

J CURTIS
Tile Floor “I really love when you’re walking through the tile showroom with your client, and all of a sudden you can sense they’re so excited and something really speaks to them. That’s what happened with this tile. It was our starting point.” Handpainted Terra Cotta Tile by Tabarka Studio, decorativematerials.com
Pedestal Sink “Then we fell in love with this fabulous pedestal. We wanted to bring in the warmth of metal and make a statement instead of just using a plain white pedestal. We picked out the sink and faucet [by Watermark] and the stone was one of the last elements to come—it’s a remnant from Colorado Stone Professionals that the homeowners loved.” Iron Washbasin Stand by Stone Forest, decorativematerials.com; Maestro Baja Vessel Sink by Native Trails, myekdesign.com
Sconces “We thought a lot about lighting throughout the rest of the house. The ironwork looks like it matches perfectly in this space, bringing in warmth and speaking to the pedestal and faucet, and amazingly, it matches the rest of the home too.” Luxe Single Scone by Laura Lee Design, jjslighting.com
Walls “We chose a warm wall color to offset the black and white tile. We wanted that really rich, warm earthy tone. Don’t be afraid of using darker color in a smaller room.” Warm Earth by Benjamin Moore, benjaminmoore.com
Mirror “It adds this warm, striking focal point at eye level, and I think it speaks to the floor, but also adds an elegance so the room isn’t too earthy and primitive.” Client’s personal collection

Our Favorite Room
Organic & Modern In a West Vail vacation home, architect Scott Turnipseed and designer Elisabeth Reed chose finishes that put a fresh spin on mountain style PHOTOGRAPHY
BY
DAVID PATTERSON
Tile “We both loved it,” Reed says, “and thought, ‘That’s fresh and organic for the mountains, and also sort of watery, which works for a bathroom. It gives much more dimension than wallpaper could.” Ambra by Artistic Tile, decorativematerials.com
Countertop “We knew we wanted to use a cantilevered slab and it had to be simple; it couldn’t steal the focus from the tile wall.” Lighting and Mirror “Powder rooms are places to have fun and do things differently. Ask yourself, ‘Does the mirror have to hang in the middle? Do the lights have to hang at the same height?’”
Faucet and Sink “This powder room looks sort of like a washroom, so the country-style fixtures worked well.” 1400 Series Vessel Pillar Lav Faucet by Sigma Faucets and Maestro Baja Vessel Sink by Native Trails, dahlplumbing.com
Basket “You don’t want to put a bunch of cabinets in the space,” Yvonne Jacobs says, who chose the accessories, “so it’s about finding those decorative storage pieces.” Basket and towels, sliferdesigns.com
Accessories “The rug has a washed-out look that works well with the rest of the house, which is organic in feel, but has modern features. The star is actually a garden ornament, but it fills the space well.”

Bathing Beauties Three distinctly different master baths share luxe traits: generous spaces, quality materials and indulgent amenities

“IT IS VERY DIFFERENT to design your own bath,” says Certified Master Kitchen and Bath Designer Bev Adams, o w n e r o f De n v e r - b a s e d In t e r i o r Intuitions. “When I became the client, I had to narrow down my selections and focus on the things I really wanted to have.” At the top of her list? More space. Adams sacrificed a third bedroom in her Centennial home to make way for the timeless, elegant en suite bathroom she envisioned after years of navigating a tiny space.

“The beauty of this room is the materials. That’s what makes people want to spend time in a bathroom.”
—Designer Bev Adams, Interior Intuitions
She swathed her new master bath in classic marble—slabs of Venatino marble on the countertops, shower surround and walls; 18inch statuary marble tiles on the floor; and an inlay of Thassos marble mosaics in the double shower. Custom cabinets from her own Intuitions line incorporate traditional details and subtly repeat the marble colorations in the finish, a pewter glaze over white painted wood. Dark blue walls (painted in Storm by Sherwin Williams) further pick up the tone of the marble veining and contrast with the light colors and punch of bright pink in Jonathan Franc’s Peony Chair from Phoebe Marsh, covered in Cassaro’s Cinzia fabric in Candy. Natural light spills into the 11-by-12-foot room and bounces off sparkling glass, chrome and crystal elements that repeat throughout the space. “Lighting is really important,” says Adams, who layered recessed ceiling fixtures with shimmering Schonbek crystal sconces and added mirrors to the upper cabinet doors. “The two walls of mirrors make the room look much bigger than it is,” she says. Pampering amenities include a bidet, customized storage, heated flooring, Hansgrohe thermostatic shower valves and Grohe Freehander double shower heads that pull down as a body spray. “The beauty of this room is the materials,” Adams says. “That’s what makes people want to spend time in a bathroom. This bathroom is peaceful, calm and relaxing—and everything I wanted.”
Designer Tips

✣
colors for a spa-like bathroom retreat. Warm colors stimulate; cool colors are calm and relaxing. Warm it up. Programmable heating under stone and tile floors keeps feet toasty and can also be used under the shower floor. Consider an electric warming drawer or bar for towels. Repeat shapes (such as the rounded countertop edges, crown molding, cabinet hardware and faucets) and materials for a cohesive design.

All in One PHOTOGRAPHY

DON RILEY
THE MASTER SUITE of this sprawling 1950s ranch-style house in Cherry Hills featured a large bedroom but small closet and bathroom. Interior designer Christi Pepper and her assistant, Sarah Johnson, turned that equation around in a recent remodel, claiming 345 square feet of the bedroom for a multifunctional master bathroom. “We built the closets right into the bath,” Pepper says. “It is a very effective use of space that doesn’t end up feeling like a closet.” This configuration frees up space in the center of the room for a show-stopping double vanity island. “It’s a very non-traditional idea not to hang a mirror over a vanity, but it absolutely works,” Pepper says. “There are so many mirrors in the room that the homeowners felt they didn’t need one here.” To house make-up, jewelry and hair styling supplies, she customdesigned a stunning mirrored dressing table. The bath suite is a study in contrasts—light and dark, traditional and modern—inspired by two striking pieces: an ultra modern sculptural bathtub from MTI and an antique mahogany wardrobe. To give the signature tub the prominence it deserves, Pepper placed it on a curved wooden platform set into a bay with a stone backdrop. The commanding antique wardrobe anchors the opposite end of the room, and informed the choice of mahogany-stained maple for the vanity and accents. Limestone tiles provide seamless cover underfoot, from the heated floor to the walls of the double steam shower, and an inset of carved concrete tiles—designed by artist Andy Fleishman for Ann Sacks—surrounds and accents the vanity. Copper faucets and a chandelier by Troy Lighting add warmth and polish. A circular sculpture from Ashley Campbell plays off the shapes of the geometric tub and curved platform. “The client really wanted the bath to be a significant part of the master suite,” Pepper says. “This design is all about relaxation and accommodating how the homeowners use the space.”

with contrasting tile or stone. It helps break up and soften the space. Incorporate an antique into the bathroom to strike an interesting mix of old and new. Use marine varnish to protect wood elements in a wet area, such as the bath platform here.

Degree of Separation PHOTOGRAPHY
BY
EMILY MINTON REDFIELD
RATHER THAN DESIGN AN OPEN communal master bathroom, architect/interior design team Bryan and Lynda Gunn took a “separate, but equal” approach when building their own home in Denver. “Our intention was to have a fair amount of separation in the master bath, but still be connected,” Bryan Gunn says. The resulting his-and-hers bath provides a distinct vanity and water closet for each spouse, while a shared walk-through shower unites the two spaces. The 353square-foot master bath suite includes separate walkin closets as well. The double shower features two long walls lined with porcelain tile by Crossville. Green glass tile stripes play off the one-inch glass mosaic shower floor. Cifial showerheads and body jets are featured on either side of a shared hand-held shower. A semi-circular cantilevered bench provides seating. Seven-foot vanities in an espresso-finish maple provide plenty of bathroom storage and individual space for grooming. “In every couple there is a messy one and a tidy one,” Lynda Gunn says. This design avoids any such conflicts. Full plate mirrors behind the vanities reflect light from the George Kovacs chandeliers. “The sheets of hanging glass look almost like Japanese lanterns,” Lynda Gunn says. “A little Asian influence is very appealing.” She used a larger version of the chandelier above the sleek double bathtub (located on her side of the bathroom), where horizontal and vertical slabs of marble were painstakingly matched to form the tub deck. “The depth of the apron gives it substance,” Bryan Gunn says. “It reads as one thick slab of stone.” The couple has since designed three similar bath layouts for clients at Studio Gunn Architecture, where the couple works together. “It really doesn’t take up any more floor space than a traditional five-piece bath,” Bryan Gunn says. Adds his wife, “It works well with our lifestyle. We highly recommend it.”

Designer Tips

coordinated fixtures in different sizes for a consistent look throughout the bath. If space allows, opt for two separate water closets in the master bath—an unexpected luxury. Consider a solid tub deck for a clean look and easy maintenance.

A Classic Original A couple builds a dream home in the style of an Italianate urban farmhouse—and puts a timeless spin on new construction

EMILY MINTON REDFIELD
WOULD THINK AN ARCHITECT WOULD LOVE TO HEAR
the directive, “Just create something beautiful and original for us.” But John Mattingly says that without any other guidance, such a task is daunting. The architect and his wife Regan co-own Denver-based Chalet, a full-service architecture, construction, custom furniture and design firm specializing in new construction that features the craftsmanship and look of older homes. So he was thrilled when his client just happened to show him a picture of his grandfather’s farm in central Illinois. “He wasn’t showing it to me because that’s what he envisioned for his family,” John Mattingly says, “but I knew that the Italianate Greek revival farm home was going to be my inspiration.” The homeowners had purchased a lot in Denver’s Washington Park neighborhood, on the same street where they’d once lived years before. They had three children (and another one on the way) and wanted a home they could live in for years. The oversized lot lent itself to a farm-style house, as well as an interior shingle-style layout that allowed for a formal living room, a semi-formal dining room, a large cheery kitchen, a casual family room and even a secret cellar turned game room. The couple was starting anew— everything in the house would be selected specifically for this home. A transitional space between the formal living room and the less formal kitchen, the dining room is used for both dinner parties and homework. The distressed oak table from Noir is surrounded by burlap-covered French provincial chairs. The wrought-iron chandelier is both elegant and rustic, as are the toned gelatin silver photographs by Roman Loranc from the Susan Spiritus Gallery. The cast aluminum birch vases by Michael Aram are from Ashley Campbell.

The Mattinglys oversaw every detail of the project, which, from construction to furniture installation, took just about 18 months. “The couple said they wanted a contemporary spin on the historic style,” says John Mattingly. While the red brick exterior doesn’t have the patina of age, for instance, the interior looks as if it could have been a remodel of an existing space rather than one-hundred percent new. Because the common areas—living room, dining room and kitchen—open to each other, restraint was a key concept in the design. “We wanted to have fewer, more important details instead of too many details that compete,” John Mattingly says. Case in point: the exquisite 10-foot coffered ceiling in the formal living room pairs with simple painted walls and dark, long-planked heart pine floors. “To have introduced any more ornamentation into the room would have taken away from the classic ceiling,” he says. So they kept everything else understated and neutral. 46

(above, left) In the formal living room, the focal point is the Carrera marble mantle, topped by a mirrored TV. A custom leather sofa sits atop a low-pile neutral rug custom made by Coventry Carpets, and the silvertoned cast-resin stump table from Ashley Campbell adds sparkle. Classicism enters in the coffered ceiling. The black-and-white artwork, Moonlight by Bonny Lhotka, is from Walker Fine Art. (right) Anchored by the Duke Beardsley painting, Come Along, over the black slate fireplace, this “man cave” is all about comfort and masculinity with wool herringbone roman shades and big flannel pillows on soft leather chairs.

The Calcutta Gold marble in the large kitchen island draws the color scheme of the first floor together. “Every color in the marble is somewhere in that first floor,” Regan Mattingly says. (The same principle holds true upstairs in the master bedroom and bath.) The area rugs provide subtle cues for organizing the individual spaces in the open main floor. (Rooms with more shag are less formal.) As do the fireplaces. (Marble, formal. Wood, more casual.) To leave space for art in the house, which is full of windows, John Mattingly created anchor walls. “But the couple only had some vintage ski posters,” he says. So Regan Mattingly called in her pal and art consultant Ann Benson Reidy, who entered the design process when the house was nearly complete. Reidy started by educating the husband and wife about art. “I brought my computer and we looked at (left) In the kitchen, white walls and handmade tiles from Waterworks pair with custom white cabinets. The custom island, topped with Calcutta Gold marble, is both a workspace and a casual eating area. The painting on the right wall, Miani Carnevale’s Red Always Shows Up, is from Walker Fine Art. (above) To either side of the kitchen is a dry-goods pantry and a “drink/bar” pantry, where guests and kids can help themselves to drinks or grab breakfast. The four-paneled Duke Beardsley painting, Con Fuerza, was commissioned for the space.

different artists so I could see what they both liked,” Reidy says. “My key piece of advice: buy what you love no matter where you ultimately decide to place it.” The couple eventually visited the studio of local artist Duke Beardsley, whose Western themes speak to the simplicity of cowboy life. His aesthetic melded well with the home’s style. After selecting a cowboy painting, Come Along, that hangs in the study, the couple worked with Beardsley on a four-panel painting for the kitchen, called Con Fuerza. The art enhances the rooms but never overshadows the classic details, which is the way it was meant to be. After all, art can be moved; timeless details stay put. And, presumably, so will the owners— who plan to enjoy their classic original for years to come. 50

IN THE
Mix
Pattern and texture jibe and play in a comfy yet sophisticated vacation home
BY ELISABETH A. SULLIVAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID PATTERSON
WORKS OF ART DON’T ALWAYS call for quiet backdrops. Sometimes they hold their own—or even come into their own—when set in lively, layered environments. This five-bedroom condo in Steamboat Springs features original artwork and handcrafted furniture in nearly every room, but rather than be set apart like precious investment pieces, they intermingle with the vibrant mix of colors and prints on the everyday items around them. The homeowners worked with interior designers Donna Figg, Sloan Pressly and Tara Klaers of Slifer Designs in
The entry features a cast-bronze console from Phillips Collection and a wooden bench from Lorna Lee John Muller Designs.

Edwards to give their second home a lighthearted sophistication. “They wanted this to be an escape, a place that was inviting and fun,” Figg says. “We wanted each space to feel unique and have its own personality, so we brought a lot of texture and pattern into the home to make it lively and playful.” The entry feels like a gallery, with each piece deserving of attention. “We wanted a really strong setting to give a sense of arrival,” Figg says. While nothing technically matches, there’s a not-so-subtle symmetry to the space. A cast-bronze console by Phillips Collection, which resembles a monumental piece of driftwood, anchors the room and pairs with two airy accent lamps and an enormous mirror to create an unexpected yet harmonious grouping. The round mirror echoes the large-scale lemon slice painting by Ohio artist Dennis Wojtkiewicz on the adjacent wall, and the chandelier’s petal-like form repeats in the rug’s leafy pattern. There’s even a subtle replication of shapes between the organic console and the strictly structured bench.
Believe it or not, the vibrant artwork by John Fincher—which coordinates perfectly with the rug from Niba Rug Collections and the peacock-blue Beverly sofa—was added last to the living room. The daybed is from Richman Upholstery, the ottomans are from Century Furniture and the custom cocktail table is by Summit Woodworks.

(left) The designers carried the living room’s vibrant blue into the adjoining kitchen by hanging three handblown glass pendants from Cisco Brothers over the island. Contemporary stools from A. Rudin are upholstered in a sophisticated stripe fabric by Romo. (right) The designers turned up the volume in the dining room by combining streamlined leather chairs from Usona Home and a custom table by Summit Woodworks with the homeowners’ bold, grid-like rug and largescale floral drapes from Bergamo Fabrics. A chandelier from Ochre completes the space, curving gracefully down the length of the table.
In the living room, the designers worked from the ground up, drawing their color inspiration from the handmade rug from Niba Rug Collections. “We made this room’s palette a peacock blue and funky green balanced with the warm taupe walls and the base of the brown rug,” Figg says. Playing with texture was important too. Plenty of soft, upholstered seating makes the space welcoming, and touches of metal and stone add visual interest. The custom live-edge cocktail table by Dillon-based Summit Woodworks, the only wooden piece in the room, “really stands out and looks special,” Figg says. 56
Patterns at Play Mixing three disparate patterns—as the design team at Slifer has done here with the geometric rug, floral drapes and tweed chairs— could instill fear in the hearts of many otherwise intrepid homeowners, but designers Donna Figg and Sloan Pressly insist that mixing and matching can be easy:
✣ The key, of course, is to

✣
forget about matching. Instead, stay within the same general color family, as the designers did here with browns and creams. Mix patterns with different scales and structure. Here, the tweed’s tight weave recalls the rug’s lattice-like grid but on a microscopic scale. And the drapes’ large, loose painterly print breaks up the rigidity while its scale balances well with the rug’s repeat. Pair layered patterns with clean-lined furniture in solid shades and keep accessories to a minimum to prevent visual clutter.
In the master guest bedroom, Baker chairs are given a youthful vibe with blue velvet upholstery and an accompanying acrylic accent table from Oly. The bed is from Hickory Chair Furniture and the king shams were made with Larsen fabric.
Pops of vibrant blue appear throughout the home in shades varying from peacock to aquamarine to sky and royal blue. In the dining room, the topaz accents in the Kyle Bunting rug are the solo punch of color in the otherwise neutral space, but the design scheme reads as anything but basic beige. The designers again found inspiration in the rug, this time using the floor covering’s brown and cream hues as the unifying elements for an unlikely mix of patterns: a graphic rug, large-scale floral drapes by Bergamo Fabrics and side chairs in a lodge-like tweed. What could have looked bohemian reads as refined because the designers kept the furniture streamlined and solid-colored, and assigned the busier patterns to the room’s accents. Patterns mix and mingle in the master bath, too. A zigzag wallpaper by 58
Romo envelopes the clean-lined tub, which juxtaposes the organic mottling of the stone surround. The wallpaper, which only appears in one niche in the neutral room, takes the place of art. “It’s an unexpected addition to bring texture and interest,” Pressly says. “We wanted the bathroom to have visual impact and feel unique.” To scale down the spacious room, the designers introduced warmer textures. “There are so many hard elements in a bathroom, so we added an upholstered bench and some rugs, and created vignettes,” Pressly says. With a less skillful hand, this mountain retreat could have been too eclectic, but thanks to the designers’ light touch, the nature-inspired palette, sumptuous upholstery and sculptural furnishings—mixed with the homeowners’ contemporary art—come together with style and grace.

GOLDEN IS LITERALLY “BACK ON TRACK”
By Mark Samuelson Colorado business and real estate blogger and featured writer for The Denver Post
As FasTracks Light Rail service reaches toward Colorado’s old territorial capital, its historic neighborhoods never looked more appealing… One of the things people love about the Denver area (according to a Pew Research study, it’s the most sought-after place to relocate in the entire country) is the hodgepodge of satellite towns – many of which have their own minidowntowns with hot restaurants, cultural attractions and historic architecture, offering a counterpoint to downtown Denver. And the very oldest of those makes a strong case as to why somebody would pick to live the small town lifestyle, rather than in a LoDo loft or an urban neighborhood. Founded in 1859 as Colorado’s capital
until statehood in 1876, Golden was one of the first destinations served by the Denver Tramway trolley line that grew from horse-drawn cars in the 1880s to a system covering 160 miles by the 1930s. Well before the turn of the century,
Golden lured Denver sojourners seeking its vivid link to the Rockies, rising directly from the town’s western edge. Trolley tracks that ended on Golden’s
Golden also boasts low unemployment, boosted by Coors, the Colorado School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. What it doesn’t have right now, according to Coldwell Banker agent Toni Keener, is enough properties on the market to meet demand. Prices for homes in downtown Golden reach Denver city levels at $200-$250/square foot, with starting levels from the $200s...
Washington Street were torn up by the early 1950s, but the town kept much of its frontier-styled main street spanned by the “Howdy Folks” welcome sign – and today has a valuable reserve of vintage stores and Victorian-era homes. Golden’s Washington Street preserves a stock of historic buildings and a small town feel, with popular taverns like Old Capitol Grill. Golden’s eight square miles offer ten museums that span railroads, to from the $500s and $600s for newer geology, to quilting, to the historic custom homes. Meanwhile, Golden has Coors Brewery anchoring South come full circle back to commuter rail Table Mountain. For residents, service, as RTD FasTracks West Rail Line there are venerable (and walkable) Washington Street watering holes like Ace-Hi Tavern and Buffalo Rose, popular dining at Old Capitol Grill and the Golden Hotel -– western galleries and special events -- all wrapped by trails and mountain sports resources including the American Coldwell Banker agent Toni Keener, a Golden specialist who lives in the town, shows off a custom Mountaineering Center home in Fossil Trace, close to downtown. (museum and climbing gym), a bike park, and a kayak-accessible section of Clear opens to Jeffco Golden Station on Sixth Creek that runs right through downtown. Avenue by 2013.

The Perfect Storm Could 2012 be a good year for both buyers and sellers? CH&L checks in with real estate experts to get the latest on the Colorado market BY PATRICK SORAN ILLUSTRATION

VERITY FREEBERN
IF YOU’VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT BUYING a new home, 2012 might be the perfect year. Thinking of selling? Well, 2012 might be just right for that, too. But, you may ask, how can both be true? “This will be a terrific year for people looking to move up,” says Chris Mygatt, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Colorado. In other words, for those looking to unload a mid-priced Denver home in good condition, sales will likely move quickly; it’s once again a seller’s market in the $250,000$350,000 range. And home shoppers looking to “buy up” and move into a house at a higher price point (more than $500,000) will be pleased to find slashed prices and a large inventory. Cue the perfect storm for both selling and buying.

“
We are looking for sales to continue to rise, and hoping for prices to level off or lift a little.
”
—Robert Bray, president, Bray & Co.
Mygatt notes that the total number of units sold was up a bit last year, and luxury market sales volume—for homes listed at more than $500,000—inched up 4.4 percent. While the average price dipped a tad, inventory fell as well. That’s the statistical way of saying that things are improving, if slowly. In that picture, a lot of owners are hanging on to their current homes to ride out the storm; for folks who want a slice of luxury, Mygatt adds, the Front Range market is ripe for the buyer. Kathy Cole, managing broker at Coldwell Banker Vail, is optimistic about the Vail market. “We had a lot of activity during the winter,” she says, describing renewed interest and excitement after a number of difficult years. “We expect a lot of movement in terms of how many places actually sell, but prices are still lower,” she says. Cole uses figures prepared by Trevor Theelke, account manager at Land Title Guarantee Company, to point out that 2011 total transactions for Eagle County were up 9 percent from 2010 and 45 percent from 2009. “That’s pointing in the right direction for 2012,” she says. Vail’s luxury market starts at $4 million, and sales of homes in that league comprised 28 percent of Vail’s 2011 sales volume of $1.15 billion. “We’re aiming for $1.5 billion in 2012.” Robert Bray, president of Grand Junction-based Bray & Co., says that activity on the Western Slope is mirroring the rest of the state: sales are up, but prices are still down. “We are looking for sales to continue to rise, and hoping for prices to level off or lift a little,” Bray says, who covers the territory in Garfield and Mesa Counties with several offices. According to Bray, a number of factors are influencing the region. Interest rates are extremely low and prices are down, but employment is soft. “It’s a great time to buy, but we need a shot of consumer confidence,” he says. All three experts say they feel the Colorado real estate market appears to be at, or very near the bottom of, a long low dip. “When we look back in 10 years,” says Mygatt, “I believe we’ll see 2011 as the bottom and 2012 as the year of opportunity.”

Good Impression Preparing to sell? Take some advice from designer and home staging expert Marilyn Cornelison of Denver-based Home Again Interiors. “Staging your home is all about making a good first impression,” she says. “And you only have about five seconds to do that.”
✣ Start with curb appeal. Plant some ✣ Depersonalize. Paint that blooming flowers, spread fresh bark and put out a new welcome mat. Paint the front door and trim.
✣ “The house must smell clean,”
insists Cornelison. Shampoo the carpets and furniture and have the draperies cleaned. Clear the air of last night’s dinner. Put clean linens on all the beds, and even paint if you can afford to. “Nothing says ‘fresh’ like new paint,” she adds.
✣ Make your house look spiffy.
Wash the windows—“They should sparkle,” Cornelison says—and clean out the garage. Purge and arrange all the closets by pulling out at least half of the contents and spacing the hangers evenly. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers should be immaculate and sparse too.
chartreuse accent wall to match the other walls. Put away personal photos and diplomas and remove medications and personal products from sight.
✣ Dress it up. If you are going to
buy furniture, art or even pillows for your new home, buy them now and use them to stage the house you’re selling. To keep your space cozy, casually place a throw and a book on the living room sofa. Add flowers and candles.
✣ Place fresh soaps—not pump
bottles—and new towels in the bathrooms. Pull out all the floor mats. “Channel your inner Martha Stewart,” Cornelison says. “You want people to think, ‘I’d love to spend time here.’”

10 things you should know about

Tile endures. “Tile lasts as long as the building does,” says Rod Salyer, COO and executive vice president of CAPCO Tile & Stone. It has essentially no maintenance costs, offers endless design options and is easy to keep clean. Even in tile, wood is in. A big trend this year at Cersaie (the tile industry’s largest annual trade show, held in Bologna, Italy): tiles that look like wood. “We are seeing tile products inspired by the look of wood, but styled unlike anything you’d see in nature,” Salyer says. And although installation costs about the same as hardwood, the durability and long life of tile (no refinishing needed) makes it more cost effective. Go big. Another trend: large-format porcelain tiles. “Europe is leading the way with this trend,” says Margot Hampleman, owner and founder of Decorative Materials. “‘Big’ used to mean 16-by-32 inches; now we see tiles as large as 24 by 48. American consumers haven’t quite embraced that; 12-by-24 inches is still the most popular here.”

Play up the texture. “Tile is no longer just square and flat,” Hampleman says. “Tiles with relief and texture have been a trend for a while and will continue to be.” The tile maven says that small artisan manufacturers continue to push the creative boundaries. Get steamy. Ramey Caulkins, interior decorator and former manager of hospitality at Ann Sacks, suggests doing your research when making selections for a steam shower. Steer clear of glass tile; moisture can become trapped behind the glass, eventually popping the tiles off the wall. “In my opinion,” she says, “ceramic or porcelain is best.” Update a classic. For your backsplash, put an unexpected spin on a timeless arrangement. Caulkins recommends choosing pale gray instead of bright white, which can feel a bit sterile. “Often, three-by-sixinch subway tile is installed in a ‘running bond’ pattern with every row shifted by half a tile. Instead, try installing the tile in a third running bond pattern. It is still a classic installation, but updated.”

Do the job right. After the time and expense of finding the perfect tile, don’t skimp on installation. “One of the most important decisions you’ll make when considering tile is who’s going to install it,” Hampleman says. “If you don’t use a topnotch installer, you could end up having to tear it out and start over.” Measure, measure measure. “Meticulous planning is essential if you don’t want unsightly cuts,” says Barbara Sallick, co-founder and senior vice president of design for Waterworks. Mind your grout. “Choosing the right color grout can make or break an installation,” Sallick says. She suggests installing a square foot of tile on plywood to test the color and size of the grout joints. Caulkins is of another mind: “I am a stickler for tight grout joints,” she says. “Grout should not be part of the design.” Follow your taste. “I sometimes hate using the word ‘trend,’” says Hampleman. “Tile lasts a long time, so choose what you love.” Overwhelmed by all the options? Hampleman suggests hiring a designer who can help you narrow down choices.
