June EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, JUNE HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVORITE MONTH OF THE YEAR. Warm sunshine, pool days and backyard bbq’s give way to all the fun that is to be had.

June is also similar to the first couple days of a week-long vacation. You can actually enjoy it, without the realization that it’s inevitably coming to an end.

We are so fortunate to live in a state where summer activities are literally endless.

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | June 2019

By opening up the main floor, the kitchen was able to be expanded with a massive 12-foot island — giving the homeowners plenty of space to store, prep and entertain.

One of the most showstopping design features of the home is the accent wall behind the dining area, covered in wood from Denver’s Reclaimed DesignWorks.

The wood, an Antique Softwood Blend, gives the area texture and design, pulling your eye in from the front living space, without overpowering the space.

Upstairs, the master bedroom was turned into a stunning master suite by updating the attached bath from a powder room to a spa-like room with a full walk-in shower. In the bathroom, the limited space meant that Belongea and her team had to get creative.

“I appreciate the way we utilized the space and the angled roofline for the shower to make the most of the space,” Kelli says. “We often try to maximize space in these older homes.”

In the older homes, space might be hard to come by, but the architectural details that make them truly special are worth keeping in.

For this home, one of those details was the Palladian style windows in the front room. “[Classic Homeworks] tends to work with a “classic” style — one that will hold the test of time and that complements the remainder of the house,” Kelli explains. “...The concept of classic can take many forms. We work in Denver’s older neighborhoods and the style of home changes from area to area — bungalows, four squares, Victorians, Tudors, mid-century moderns — but, they all have a classic element.

We respect the genre of the existing structure and focus on how to make it work better for the homeowner while creating a beautiful space for them to enjoy while in their home.”
