university boulevard historic home, denver, co

this charming, historic denver house was remodeled to add more functionality and storage in the kitchen area, including built-in cabinets by the kitchen table, a complete redo of the sitting area with fireplace and the mudroom. the primary bathroom was also redesigned to allow for better light, a standalone tub and greater storage in the vanity.

the living room was reoriented to face the newly redesigned fireplace. the warm palette of burnt red, saddle leather and wood tones was inspired by the colors of the vintage area rug. rounded shapes in the sofa, noguchi coffee table, tomato colored side chairs and eames lounge chair soften the space.

texture, patterns and dimension are added in the textiles: pillows, throw blankets, sheepskin rugs.

a pair of tomato velvet side chairs are set behind the rounded glass coffee table.

the eames lounge chair is the perfect place to read by the fireplace.

a blonde wood bench is placed under the window for extra seating.

the dining room features a traditional, colorful area rug with a mid-century dining set and bar and an industrial chrome lighting fixture.

the redone kitchen area is a mixture of traditional shaker cabinetry with newly added streamlined, flat panel cabinets added in on the wall behind the kitchen table, surrounding the fireplace and in the mudroom entry. they are connected by the clean, white color with hits of gray in the marbled counter tops and cement toned fireplace surround. bright pops of color are brought in with the long, horizontal abstract painting commissioned from sarah kinn, the red side table and bookshelf accessories.

the primary bedroom is a kaleidoscope of colors and textures from the artwork (dropcloth painting by sarah kinn), multi-colored woven bench, sheepskin rug and bedding, grounded by the walnut and wenge furnishings (bedside tables and dressers.)

the primary bathroom was opened up to allow for a “wet area” that includes a double shower and a standalone tub, tucked behind a partial glass wall. The new layout creates a generous, expansive space with light pouring in from all the surrounding windows.

the bathroom is divided between “wet” and “dry” areas by a low curb on the floor.

subtle, white hexagon tiles surround the “wet area” of the bathroom.

a sculptural victoria + albert standalone tub sits under the window.

the new vanity runs the full length of the wall for maximum storeage and space efficiency.
