The New Date Night If nothing else, the events over the last three months have likely forced all of us to be creative, on some level. Making music, writing poetry, painting, the way we walk down a grocery isle; these are just a few that come to mind.

Prior to March 10th, my wife and I had a standing “date night”, every Thursday. Even though we have a wide variety of outdoor activities, restaurants, and live music options at arm’s length, we often found ourselves settling into the same routines.

The usual standard was to grab dinner, then catch one of our favorite bands that may be passing through town.

Needless to say, the date night routines have been drastically altered of late. If you ask me, playing all five albums of the Grateful Dead’s legendary May 8, 1977 show in Ithaca, New York, with a couple of local IPA’s, is my idea of romance. Subsequently, my wife doesn’t see it that way, so I’ve been forced to step outside of my comfort zone a little. Now we look forward to bike ride picnics, new hikes, and Zoom wine tastings with friends. Fortunately - I’ve found that nearly all of these can be done while listening to The Grateful Dead!

ARTICLE AMELIA BROUGHTON PHOTOGRAPHY ASH TAYLOR

MEREDITH STEELE BRINGS JOY WITH HER ART WITH MILLIONS OF IDEAS SWIRLING LIKE FRESHLY MIXED PAINT IN HER HEAD, MEREDITH STEELE PRIORITIZES JOY IN EVERYTHING SHE CREATES. A Denver-based mixed media artist, Steele is an explorer of new methods and eclectic materials, moved wholeheartedly by creation itself before anything else.

Her approach is to commit to a series or collection until it feels fulfilled in its expression. The structure fosters focus and sharpens her skill with each stylistically similar painting. Ranging from a bliss-filled abstract series that was inspired by Hawaiian textures and colors, to fabricating captivating monochromatic feminine figures made with various recycled materials, Steele pours herself into the learning process that unfolds in the momentum of inspiration. Instead of being fixated on a certain style, she allows herself to be fluid, molded by her environment, led by what unfolds in the moment. She’s not interested in staying in one category of artistic expression. Steele’s work varies in its aesthetic, and those who see beyond the diversity notice the amount of presence she lends to each subject, texture, color, and setting.

As someone who has always been deeply affected by her atmosphere and environment, Steele aims to illuminate the beauty in all things. She transforms space into dynamic pieces for all to enjoy, collaborating with clients to bring their wildest dreams into fruition.

During these times, her focus has been to give back what she can. One to find the beauty in the smallest of details, she’s been sending out prints of her art to unsuspecting people or followers of her work.

If you’re looking for a statement piece, something that captures the imagination, or are on the hunt for a mural or design expert, this multi-dimensional artist is sure to bring you joy in whatever it is your heart desires.

A CONVERSATION WITH DENVER LUXURY REAL ESTATE BROKER JEFF HENDLEY

JEFF HENDLEY ADMITS THAT HE’S A LITTLE MORE CALIFORNIA THAN HE IS COLORADO. He prefers the ocean over the slopes and would rather sip on a rare vodka than a microbrew. But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t at peace on the Front Range and—whether he’s representing the most high-end homes in Denver by day or relaxing at home with his family and favorite classic rock friends by night—he has an authentic, “no filter” outlook that he brings to all facets of his life.

A Loo WITH A VIEW: HOW LOCAL DESIGNERS ARE USING DECORATIVE WALL COVERINGS TO BRING POWDER ROOM PROJECTS TO BOLD, BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | June 2020

ARTICLE LISA VAN HORNE | PHOTOGRAPHY KYLIE FITTS, HBK PHOTOGRAPHY, GIBEON PHOTOGRAPHY | ART DIRECTION EDIE URE FOUR WALLS. Usually small. Heavily trafficked. Function first. Yet powder rooms are anything but mundane, especially when design experts with creative gusto in their hearts and bold visions on the brain are given the chance to work their magic on them. Powder rooms represent unique opportunities for design experimentation, and we talked to six local designers about how they’re using striking wall coverings and other artistic details to bring a variety of powder room projects to fruition.

VISIONS IN COLOR

EMILY TUCKER DESIGN Powder rooms represent exciting chances to create truly striking spaces for interior designer Emily Tucker, especially when it comes to colors, patterns and textures. It’s this willingness to go bold that links these two powder room projects which, albeit quite different in look and feel, are both an ode to the risk-taking opportunities that powder room design provides. While the watercolor powder room features wallpaper splashed with colors that are just subdued enough, the exotic floral powder room features a rich red wall covering that exudes sophistication.

PUSHING THE FUN ENVELOPE (OPPOSITE PAGE)

LUSI DESIGN

Why wouldn’t you say yes to a wallpaper featuring a frog in a bowler hat, a fanning otter, an imbibing badger, and other kooky critters for a powder room renovation? For principal interior designer Courtney Wells, working on this project was an exercise in creating an unexpected and unforgettable space meant to inspire smiles and laughter from all those who entered. A traditional-meets-southern-glam feel throughout the rest of the home meant that this space would be truly unique, fun, and entertaining—all achieved through this show-stopping wallpaper and complemented by light, balanced elements throughout.

ALL ABOUT THE ENERGY

JOE MCGUIRE DESIGN

Owner Joe McGuire and fellow principal designer Matthew Tenzin are highly attuned to the energies of the spaces they create. When it comes to powder rooms in particular, they revel in the opportunity to play to the existing feel of the home while cranking up its theme and style.

This balance of cohesive design and uninhibited creativity links their two powder room projects.

While the contemporary lodge powder room simultaneously minimizes and glamorizes the rustic feel of the home with a subtle, textured wallpaper, the tiled powder room is a lively, energetic space featuring a geometric, bluehued tile wall and warm neutral details.

FINDING BALANCE

ISTORIA INTERIOR DESIGN Designer and owner Stephanie Waddell believes that beautiful spaces are born out of beautiful contradictions—a principle put to practice in this powder room project. Seeking an earthy, natural and tactile vibe while still keeping the space fresh and modern, Stephanie achieved a striking wow factor by covering the walls in a striped pattern wallpaper based on an indigo textile and white penny tile with a delicate blue and bronze edge. Fun, antique details are also sprinkled throughout the space, including a Chinese rug and two vintage brass animal sculptures.
