Some days life catapults you into Plan B and C pretty quickly. Right before one of our very first mother/daughter trips of the summer, our best-laid plans flew right out the window. A friend we had arranged a trip with, where getting together was the primary purpose and the location a distant second, canceled due to some health concerns. The decision was unanimous; it was better for her to take the time to rest. Yet my daughter still insisted we pack our bags and head out of town. I figured, why not? Our original plans were (miraculously) refundable, and we’d already carved out the time and set aside the funds. I let my daughter choose the new spot with the stipulation that it had to be within a six-hour drive. And while it wouldn’t have been one of my top destinations, it didn’t matter. The weekend’s intention was to connect. My parenting secret for carefree travels entails saying yes to nearly everything possible (within general safety and financial reason). Stopping at random roadside attractions? Let’s do it! Fast food? Supersize it! Yet something occurred to me during our car ride back. All these years, I thought I’d said yes for her. It turns out, it’d also been for me. There is something so freeing about letting go of rules and truly living in the moment—temporarily dismissing all the shoulds. You’ll know when you’ve vacationed right…when you start craving getting back to everyday life. What will you say yes to this summer? Happy Travels,

If you haven’t wandered into a Denver hotel bar or restaurant over the past few years, 1. You’d be forgiven for obvious reasons and 2. You’d be missing out. The new breed of hotel lounges and eateries ditches the stale vibes and ho-hum menus we used to associate with hotel brands and instead gives us destination-worthy spots that can compete with the city’s best. From rustic-romantic design to celebrity chef-created food to crafty cocktails, these are the hotel bars and restaurants you’ll want to check out, even if you’re not checking in.

Wildflower Photo: Matt Kisiday

Thompson Denver’s Chez Maggy and Reynard Social 1616 Market St. When Thompson Hotels made its Denver debut in February, there was a lot of talk about Chez Maggy, television personality and Michelin-starred chef Ludo Lefebvre’s first restaurant in town. The lobby level French bistro is certainly worth the hype—don’t miss the trout almondine, bread and butter, or, well anything—but to experience one of Thompson Denver’s best spots, you need to head up. Take the elevator to the sixth floor, where you’ll find one of the best views around. The mega-windowed space—which is officially the largest bar in Denver, but somehow feels so cozy—looks out over the city, the stadium and the mountains. While the cocktails tend to stick to the classics downstairs at Chez Maggy, they’re more fun up here, with mixes like the Peak Interest (tequila, fig, raspberry, lime and egg white) and Summit Selfie (cucumber vodka, elderflower, lingonberry and herbal liqueur) at the ready for your sunset sipping. Life House’s Wildflower 3638 Navajo St. From the dreamy blue butterfly pea latte to the romantic Western décor to the work-of-art plates of food, Wildflower holds incredible visual appeal. The space is absolutely gorgeous, with hand-painted wallpaper, jewel-colored velvet banquettes, unique plant and floral arrangements and a gallery wall of western-themed art competing for what you should look at next. (Or what to use as your Instagram shot background.) The bar and restaurant menus both embrace the wildflower theme, with floral notes showing up in cocktails— the Gimme Thyme mixes wildflower honey with gin, mead, thyme and citrus, and the In Full Bloom is a bouquet of hibiscus flower, rose water, cava and vermouth—and in the seasonal, plant-heavy dishes (even the watermelon radishes are cut to look like blooms in the roasted roots plate of sunchoke and carrots over sesame puree). It’s a very visual experience, but one that tastes as good as it looks. Hotel Clio’s Toro Latin Kitchen & Lounge 150 Clayton Ln. Two words: Ceviche bar. Yes, Toro’s pan-Latin menu has a lot going for it with dishes like sweet corn empanadas, adobo Spanish octopus and achiote marinated chicken, but it’s perfectly acceptable to settle in and stick to ceviche. Choose from Hamachi or striped bass ceviches; shrimp tempura or spicy tuna and crab rolls; or heck, don’t choose at all and have a full-on raw bar feast. Led by chef Richard Sandoval (you’ve probably eaten his food at Tamayo or at one of his other 45 restaurants in 15 countries) and executive chef Oscar Padilla, Toro has quickly become a Cherry Creek favorite for its bottomless weekend brunch, hand-muddled cocktails on the patio, tequila lockers (where you can stash your premium bottles), and yes, that ceviche bar. Head there for the best sort of raw deal. CONTINUED > JULY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/C HE R RYC R E E K

APPROACHABLE ELEGANCE ARTICLE BY LISA VAN HORNE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY KIMBERLY GAVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

How Chic Style and Everyday Comfort Combine in a Factor Design Build Remodel Inspiration can spring from many places when it comes to home remodels. In the case of one recent Boulder project undertaken by local Factor Design Build, a unique combination of regional taste, everyday practicality and the homeowners’ inimitable style served as a bountiful foundation. “This is a family that we had worked with on projects in the past,” says Josh Fiester, co-founder of Factor Design Build. “They had lived in a much larger home but, as empty-nesters, they wanted to downsize and create something more intimate for their family.” On a beautiful lot in an ideal Boulder location, the team at Factor Design Build—a full-service Colorado design-build firm—set out to create an abode that would be better suited to the homeowners’ day-to-day lives. However, the home also needed to be able to easily scale with enough space for large gatherings of family and friends. “We were looking for a home that felt simple and airy, beautiful but also casual and comfortable,” says Kelly Daly, one of the homeowners.

JULY 2 0 2 2 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C OM/C HE R RYC R E E K

“Kelly has a fantastic sense of style and truly understands design,” says Josh. “This was a fun project, a true collaboration.” The end result is a stunning home in what Robin Bryant, design team lead at Factor Design Build, describes as a Belgian Farmhouse style. The H-shaped building footprint facilitates a gorgeous minimalist façade, which is enhanced by a dramatic yet simplistic roof structure and softened by elements of bleached cedar. The nucleus of the ranchstyle home is the main living area, a luminous space made bright by both its overarching palette and the sunlight spilling in from the new windows, which are both energy-efficient and add ample character. The pass-through glider window in the kitchen connects the space to the backyard, another area of emphasis for the homeowners given their fondness for hosting outdoor gatherings. The home’s interior expertly balances its bright palette with dark, dramatic accents. A mixture of off whites, light grays and light neutral woods permeate throughout and are complemented by the purposeful inclusion of dark blue gray cabinets in select areas. The tiling in the powder room and laundry room are another example of this interplay, as both incorporate black and white cement clé zellige tiling in a star-cross pattern that is simultaneously playful and chic. The materials used throughout the home were thoughtfully chosen as well, with a special regionality in mind. “Kelly grew up in the South, and so we wanted to incorporate materials and an overall feel from that region,” says Josh. “We did this with a lot of limestone—such as on the fireplace wall—and natural oak.” A lauded decorator herself, Kelly relished the opportunity in this project to zoom in on a number of seemingly small, yet highly significant design details. “I always love a remodel project,” Kelly says, “and I was so happy with this one that I got to really pay attention to all the little details that would make it feel like our home.”

From the pine planks beneath the porch roof to the barn door shutters, cozy primary bedroom window seat and pristine tiling throughout, the home’s design embraces both a farmhouse vernacular and the homeowners’ distinct style. One of Kelly’s favorite elements of the project? The butler’s pantry, a sleek yet welcoming space that allows her to display her many family china heirlooms. “We use every single room in this house,” says Kelly. “It is perfectly sized to be physically large enough for what our family needs, but also feels intimate.” “I think that this home is an excellent example of the new approachable elegance in design,” says Robin.

IDEAS FROM GENERATION WILD ON HOW TO HELP COLORADO KIDS SPEND MORE TIME OUTSIDE

ARTICLE BY LISA VAN HORNE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY POPPY & CO. BY KELSEY HUFFER

H OW TO | ED U CATION CORNE R

The Call of the Backyard Summertime is in full swing. For the parents and caregivers of kids, it’s a time that’s especially ripe for heading outside to enjoy Colorado’s gorgeous sunshine and sights, whether it’s from a park, a trail or the comfort of their own backyard. Prioritizing these outdoor ventures of play, activity and simple relaxation is a concept at the core of the Generation Wild mission. Generation Wild blossomed out of Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), a program established in 1992 by voter approval that invests a portion of proceeds from the Colorado Lottery to preserve and enhance the natural beauty and splendor of the Centennial State. The organization has helped facilitate over 5,500 conservation and recreation projects across Colorado, including ventures that have benefitted state parks, trails, wildlife, rivers, open space and more. In the summer of 2017, GOCO launched Generation Wild as part of its initiative to reconnect today’s generation of children to the outdoors—an ambitious yet crucial goal aimed at both improving youth well-being and helping to

raise the next generation of responsible stewards and champions of nature. Today, Generation Wild is a statewide program and campaign that is supported by hundreds of partners across Colorado. In an effort to inspire parents and caregivers to help the kids in their lives flourish through time spent outdoors, it consists of a bounty of research-driven information, resources and tips. The organization founds its suggestions in ample research, noting abundant benefits to kids’ time spent outside when it comes to their growth, development, fostering of creativity and mental, emotional and physical well-being. The organization also offers numerous strategies, suggestions and activity ideas for parents and caregivers to facilitate this outside time, including many “Backyard Hacks” that make prioritizing time spent outdoors as easy and approachable as possible. Looking for a way to help the kids in your life enjoy more outdoor time this summer? Here is just one of Generation Wild’s suggestions for a fun, engaging activity that you can partake in right at home.

Between sheltering-in-place during the pandemic, the Marshall Fire and all the complexities that go along with growing up, the children of Colorado could use some time to talk and process life. Because at the end of the day, talking to someone can make life seem a little bit more manageable—even when it feels unbearable.

“I have seen an increase of children and teens needing therapy in recent years due to the increase of the unpredictability they have experienced,” says Jamie Peschke, MA, RP, of The Nest Creative Therapy Center in Lafayette. “The pandemic has had a major impact on all of us, removing our sense of safety, limiting accessibility to self-care and community, increasing the fear of the unknown and many other changes that impact one’s overall mental health. Most children and teens have not had a lifetime to practice skills of transition and loss of safety, as a result, all can cause an increase of stress on their mental health.” Fortunately, the I Matter program is here to help. A temporary behavioral health services program that provides youth with access to mental health and substance use disorder services and

M EN TA L WE LLBE IN G | HEALTH + W E LLNE S S

that addresses needs that may have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic is now available, thanks to Colorado House Bill 21-1258. I Matter is funded by the Colorado Department of Human Services and supplies youth with up to six free behavioral health sessions and reimburses participating providers, which are licensed clinicians from agencies and independent contractors. Sessions can be held virtually or in person. Jamie says, “A huge benefit I see for children and teens seeking therapy is increasing their self-awareness, expressing emotions in a healthy way and asking for help. Therapy can help children normalize what they are going through and meet emotions with curiosity instead of self-judgment.” To get started, parents and youth can visit IMatterColorado.org.

MCA Denver Expands to the Holiday Theater With More Space for Creative Programming

the end of May, artist Eamon Ore-Giron wrapped his monthslong exhibition at Denver’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), which followed his large-scale abstract paintings combining ancient Andean architecture and 1900s modernism. He also created a mural for the museum that included video and his DJ tracks, highlighting his interdisciplinary work and the relationship between sound, rhythm, color and patterns. Since 2007, MCA Denver has been located at 1485 Delgany Street downtown, where established exhibitions meet quirky programming. The museum expanded in April for the first time to the 100-year-old Holiday Theater at 2644 West 32nd Avenue.

NOW OP E N | ARTS + CU LTURE

Sarah Kate Baie, MCA Denver’s director of programming, says the new venue will provide more space for multifaceted exhibits like Eamon Ore-Giron’s, which require more room to showcase the entire breadth of his practice. “It’s kind of a blank canvas we can use to think about our live programs,” Sarah says of the Holiday Theater. “It completely frees us from only talking about things on our gallery walls.” But the expansion is bigger than the museum being physically large enough to host an artist; it’s also about the community. The Holiday Theater will continue hosting MCA programming for teenagers and young adults, who make up nearly one-third of the museum’s audience and have free admission to their Fries Building downtown. Prior to the pandemic, the MCA served over 10,000 teens a year through various events, the paid MoxieMag internship and a year-long program called Failure Lab, where they collaborate with peers, local artists and MCA staff to put on programming, mount their own art exhibitions and more. With the Holiday Theater a block from Denver North High School, MCA Denver expects an increased number of teen-focused exhibitions and events

at their new creative location, like peer-planned fashion shows and music nights. During students’ off-campus lunchtime, the Holiday Theater plans to offer low-cost box lunches. “How can the things we’re doing intersect with the work these education institutes are doing?” Sarah asks, always cognizant of the role the museum plays in the lives of those around it. Distinctly aware of the new community they’re slowly and intentionally settling into, MCA Denver established a Holiday Advisory Cabinet, made up of residents who serve as liaisons between the museum and the Northside neighborhood. For several years, the MCA held various programs in the Holiday Theater while Highlands Church owned the building. When the property went on the market in 2020, it wasn’t something MCA Denver could feasibly buy on its own. Enter, MCA Denver Emeritus Board Member Mark Falcone, who founded the Denver Cultural Property Trust to keep cultural touchpoints in the hands of artists and creatives, then bought the Holiday Theater. The MCA moved in in December, opened in April and will lease the Holiday Theater for the next seven years with the option to renew from the property trust.

“It completely frees us from only talking about things on our gallery walls.”

Promising to celebrate and share all voices and stories, the MCA at the Holiday Theater is now the dedicated home for the museum’s lecture and film series, artist talks and symposiums. The new space also boasts 11 apartments above and next door to the theater, which will be available as low-cost artist studios, all managed by the trust. MCADenver.org/Holiday-Theatre
