AT HOME COLORADO

According to Realtor.com’s recent luxury market report, wealthy buyers are exiting metropolises in favor of suburban and more remote living. (Photo: Pexels).

If you’ve skied in the Rockies lately, you may have noticed lift lines are increasingly crowded.

The statistics bear this out: the National

BY TOM Ski Areas KALINSKI Association RE/MAX of Boulder reports that visits are up 18 percent since 1978, and the Rocky Mountain region alone saw a 54 percent jump in visits.

Jostling for your spot on the slopes could be one result of the migration of luxury home buyers.

According to Realtor.com’s recent luxury market report, wealthy buyers are exiting metropolises in favor of suburban and more remote living.

Indicators point to a generally healthy high-end real estate market in the U.S., as people desire more -- more square footage, more privacy, and more green space. Some market areas, though, are outperforming others.

Take Colorado, for example.

“Suburbs and secondary markets in Colorado and California saw especially strong growth, which follows the widespread trend of buyers choosing the suburbs over urban life during the pandemic, while big city markets like the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Boston and Hawaii saw the largest

luxury home price declines,” says Danielle Hale, Realtor.com’s chief economist.

Jefferson County, a suburb of Denver, is the fastest-growing luxury housing market of the fourth quarter with the entry point for luxury reaching $2.97 million, up 81% year over year.

Another Denver suburb, Arapahoe County, ranked No. 2 on the list of luxury leaps. The benchmark for a luxury listing hit $2.51 million in the fourth quarter, up 48.6% from the same time the year before.

In California, Riverside County took the third ranking, where an annual price increase of 45.8% left the luxury entry point at $2.27 million, reports Realtor.com.

Of the 95 areas tracked, fourth quarter price growth occurred in 83 of them, and luxury homes were selling in an average of 120 days, 15 days faster than 2019, according to the report.

“After slowing last spring, luxury home sales and prices outside urban city centers mostly rebounded last quarter, although not quite to their pre-pandemic levels,” she said.

Luxury listings make up the 5% of homes on the market, and the entry point rose to $3.4 million in the fourth quarter, up 14% from 2019. The online property portal tracks the top 5% most expensive residential listings in 95 counties for its luxury index, and it was suburbs and secondary luxury markets that had the most

prosperous fourth quarter in 2020.

But back to long ski lift lines. One cause is the rise in population we have seen as many have taken full advantage of the live-anywhere benefit that sprang from the work-from-home mandate in place for almost a year now. Take Aspen – a bastion of luxury homes. Home sales reached a record high in the third quarter of 2020. And, since 1993, the population has increased 36 percent, according to OutsideOnline.com.

REAL ESTATE NEWS

Millennials are changing the luxury real estate market

By Jacqueline Davalos Bloomberg News (TNS) In sharp contrast to the “slacker” stereotype that has defined their generation, millennials aren’t living in parents’ basements.

They’re buying multimillion-dollar homes.

At 38%, millennials – adults born from 1981 to 1996 – represent the largest share of home buyers in the U.S., according to a survey by the National Association of Realtors released last year. “They’re just as interested in owning a home. They just waited longer to buy their first one,” says Bradley Nelson, chief marketing officer of Sotheby’s International Realty.

Breaking from the notion of a “starter home” that older generations embraced, wealthy millennials, Nelson says, are going big.

“In the past, people bought a modest property, lived in it until starting a family, and then traded up to a larger property,” he says.

“Millennials are finally coming out of the gate, and it’s not

earnings, and are set to inherit more than any prior generation, according to a May 2020 report by the Brookings Institute.

Characterized by their tech savvy and environmentally conscious values, millennial preferences are poised to dramatically shape the market, a dynamic that has been on display during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beginning almost immediately after the coronavirus hit, for instance, buyers began to flock to areas that offered walkability, nature, and a well-rounded quality of life. (Think food and an art scene.)

Aspen, Colo., Austin, Texas, and Montecito, Calif., were all prime beneficiaries, Nelson explains. “It’s the difference of choosing where you want to live vs. living where you work,” he says. “Millennials are thinking about their overall lifestyle. It’s propelled these second-tier markets into the top of the interest list.”

Total sales volume in Aspen hit a record high of more than

uncommon for the first purchase as a first time homebuyer to be a multimillion-dollar luxury home in the U.S. or internationally.”

As a result, millennials are quickly becoming a dominant force in high-end real estate.

“Baby boomers are retiring to sunnier locales, while remote work has allowed millennials to ascend the housing ladder in smaller, more affordable cities,” says a new report from Sotheby’s on global

luxury in 2021. “An emphasis on things like sustainability will certainly go into overdrive with the aging of millennials, who, at 72.1 million, are the largest adult generation, with unique consumer preferences that will profoundly influence the direction of the luxury-housing market.”

Market-Moving Preferences Millennials are the most educated generation in history, have higher

Affordability surprises first-time homebuyers while parental assistance, savings and compromises prove common, survey finds SANTA CLARA, Calif., (PRNewswire) – For first-time homebuyers looking to buy in 2021, a new survey from Realtor.com® indicates that getting finances in order is a critical place to start. Almost half (47%) of those who bought their first home last year – successfully making it through the most competitive market in recent history -- turned to their finances before they did anything else.

More than two-thirds of recent buyers were surprised by what they could actually afford According to a survey of 1,000 recent and prospective first-time homebuyers in the U.S., conducted online from Jan. 7 to Jan. 11

by Realtor.com® via HarrisX, more than two-thirds (68%) of shoppers were surprised by what they could actually afford for their first home. Forty-seven percent were surprised because their budget was larger than they thought, and 21% were surprised because it was less.

“The dramatic decline of

mortgage rates in 2020 was a pleasant surprise for many buyers,” said Realtor.com Senior Economist George Ratiu. “For first-time buyers, especially, the drop in the 30-year mortgage rate from 3.65 percent in March 2020 to a record-low of 2.65 percent in January has provided unexpected leverage. Lower rates allowed many buyers to stretch and buy more expensive homes while keeping their monthly budget the same.”

Compromising on wish list features, or budget, is key To get what they wanted in their first home, many recent buyers had to compromise. Twenty-one percent had to expand their search into less expensive neighborhoods.

Twenty percent had to go up in budget to get it all, and 18% had to eliminate some wish list features -- namely a garage, large backyard, finished basement or pool -- to stay in budget.

With competition high, getting outbid is to be expected… multiple times

Even with shortened wish lists or expanded budgets, nearly half (49%) of recent first-time homebuyers and more than a third (39%) of prospective first-time homebuyers said they fell in love with a home last year that they were outbid on or later learned they couldn’t afford. It happened more than once too: 20% of recent first-time homebuyers were outbid on at least one home they wanted, and 20% made five or more offers before finally getting a home.

“You have to know what you can afford before you head too far down the homebuying road,” said Realtor.com Home and Lifestyle Expert Lexie Holbert. “Putting pen to paper and getting a real sense of your current monthly expenses and what you’re saving each month is a good place to start when thinking about your mortgage. Especially as a first timer, it’s really important to stick to your budget when searching online so you don’t fall in love with something you can’t afford.

Using the monthly mortgage

payment filter on Realtor.com can help you be sure you’re only looking at homes within your price range.”

Savings, and help, could mean a downpayment is closer than prospective buyers think For the 44% of Americans who’ve been planning to buy but don’t have enough for a down payment, their first home might be closer than they think. Half of recent first-time home buyers were able to save for a home in less than three years, mostly by setting aside a portion of their paycheck each month (50%), cutting out discretionary spending (33%), and saving lump sum money like tax refunds (32%). Plus, help from family could get you there: 52% of Americans who bought their first home in 2020 said they got help with their down payment from friends or family. The number one lender? Their parents.

it would take longer, an average of 15 months in order to save up for a 5% down payment based on home prices and rent savings in each market. It’s fastest to save for a 5% down payment in Chicago followed

by Philadelphia, and St. Louis, while it takes the longest amount of time in Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

“Although many members of the millennial and Gen Z generations were forced to move home because they lost their jobs in 2020, others chose to forgo their rental because they had the opportunity to work remotely and preferred to wait out the pandemic with family,” said Realtor.com Chief Economist Danielle Hale. “For those who have been able to channel their would-be rent into savings, the pandemic’s silver lining could be becoming a homeowner sooner than they otherwise would have.”

In Chicago, based on the median rent for a one-bedroom apartment of $1,521, it

SANTA CLARA, Calif., (PRNewswire) – Saving for a down payment is one of the biggest barriers to homeownership. For the record number of young adults who moved back home during the pandemic fortunate to still have a job, homeownership may be more attainable than they think, according to a new report released today by Realtor.com®.

For someone paying the U.S. median one-bedroom rent of $1,533, it would take 11 months to save $17,000, a 5% down payment for a $340,000 home, the median-priced home in the U.S., according to Realtor.com’s analysis of listing and rental data for the U.S. and the nation’s 20 largest metros in December 2020.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, in Los Angeles, where the median list price for a home is just under $1 million and the median one-bedroom rent is $2,250, it would take 22 months to save for a 5% down payment of $50,000.

In the Denver-AuroraLakewood metro area, The median rent for a 1-bedroom apartment is $1,495. The median listing price for a home is $533,000. It would take 18 months to save $26,650, a 5% down payment for a $533,000 home, the median listing price according to Realtor.com.

Home appreciation outpacing capital gains exclusion The 1997 Taxpay Relief Act allowed for a $250,000 capital gains exclusion for a single person and $500,000 for a married couple when

BY DUANE a personal DUGGAN residence was Realtor and Author sold. The caveat RE/MAX of Boulder was that the homeowner needed to live in the home for the last two out of five years in order for the exclusion to apply. In 1997, that seemed like a lot of money.

In 1997, the average price for a home in Boulder County was about $200,000. Today the average price for a home in the county is $624,000. Within the City of Boulder, the average price is over $1 million.

The capital gains exclusion has not been increased in 24 years. When the law was enacted, it meant there would not be a capital gains tax bill for most American homeowners when they sold their homes. That might still be true in some markets, but in Boulder County and especially in the City of Boulder, home price appreciation has outpaced tax relief – and there does not appear to be an increase in tax relief on the horizon.

As a result of the huge gap between price appreciation and tax relief, it is now more

income levels from $40,001 to $441,450.

Using the above example, if the homeowner applied $100,000 in documented and verifiable capital improvements to the home, the tax basis would increase from $350,000 to $450,000. The total gain would be $250,000, which is equal to the amount excluded for a single person. In this case, no capital gains taxes would be due.

Every homeowner should keep a record with receipts and photos of all home improvements to document and verify that the improvements were actually done.

When it comes time to sell the home, the homeowner should meet with a tax professional and determine which items actually qualify to add to the tax basis.

Some items will be considered as repairs and will not be added to the tax basis.

In general, a repair is considered

to be maintenance of an existing item, such as, simple plumbing repairs, replacing a broken window, or putting Freon in an air conditioner. A capital improvement, however, would be something that adds value to the home or extends the life of the home. Examples include adding square footage to the home, replacing all windows, adding a new roof or new furnace.

There are other expenses at time of sale that could reduce the tax liability. Those could include brokerage fees, fix-up to sell expenses, and other costs of sale.

If you are thinking of selling, and your capital gain is likely to be above the $250,000 and $500,000 limits mentioned above, be sure to consult your Realtor® and a tax professional before signing a contract to sell.

Luxury Headwinds In the short term, however, disjointed vaccine distribution and renewed quarantine restrictions could hamper foreign buyer interest. Only one-third of Sotheby’s affiliates expect to see an uptick in demand in the first half of 2021, according to the report.

Additionally, amid indiscriminate declines in overall tax revenues caused by the pandemic, governments globally are reassessing property and wealth taxes as a means of filling budget gaps.

“Across all buyers, tax implications are going to be larger part of their home-purchase

consideration,” Nelson says.

For the fast-growing cohort of young, affluent buyers eager to snag their dream homes, millennials face slim pickings for options that meet their unique tastes. “Inventories are at nearrecord lows in general, and especially for the homes with the features they’re looking for,” he says.

Still, Nelson adds that with “wealth creation growing and cost of capital declining, it’s a promising storm for the high-end housing market.

It is very tough to “outsave” an appreciating real estate market.

important than ever for homeowners to keep an excellent record of capital expenditures spent on their homes. The reason is that capital expenditures add to the tax basis of the home, thereby reducing the final tax liability.

Here is an example of how it works. Let’s say a single person bought a home for $350,000.

When that person decides to sell the home, due to price appreciation, the home sells for $700,000. $250,000 of the gain will be exempt with no taxes due, but the other $100,000 will be taxed at the long-term capital gains tax rate of 15%. The taxes in this example would be $15,000.

There are other additions and subtractions to the tax basis, but they are not discussed in this example for the sake of simplicity.

Your income can change the capital gains tax rate that applies to you. The 15% rate applies to

Millennials (continued) $1.5 billion in the third quarter, while in some neighborhoods of Park City, Utah, median sales prices spiked by more than 50% during the summer, according to Sotheby’s 2021 Luxury Outlook.

Outside the U.S., the Mornington Peninsula outside Melbourne on Australia’s southeastern coast has also seen a similar influx, the report states.

roofs, “these are the features that are most attractive,” he adds.

“If a home is move-in ready and environmentally conscious and has a Tesla charger installed in the garage, those homes are generating a premium, because you have so many buyers interested in competing for them.”

Overall, the luxury real estate market is ripe for growth.

According to a December Sotheby’s International Realty survey, 63% of affiliates polled said they expected luxury home prices to rise over the next three years in their respective markets.

More than 70% of respondents reported heightened demand at the end of 2020.

By Emma Castleberry for At Home Colorado

A

t Barefoot Lakes, natural living isn’t a coincidence – it’s intentional. The community at Barefoot Lakes is designed around the natural environment, not the other way around. Life is dictated not by alarms and concrete buildings, but by hundreds of acres of lakes, a beautiful, expansive neighborhood park and a trail system that allows you to experience it all with ease. Not to mention The Cove – Barefoot Lakes’ exclusive amenity center with a state-ofthe-art gym, a flex room for yoga, pilates and classes, and a variety of comfortable living spaces with a DIY coffee bar, catering kitchen, TVs, indoor and outdoor fireplaces. The center also features a water-park style pool with beach-style entry, a kids play space and competition style lanes for exercise.

AT HOME COLORADO

When you make intentional decisions about your life – such as where you choose to call home – good things happen. Your lifestyle flows naturally, like the rivers and lakes with which you’ve surrounded yourself.

What’s new at Barefoot Lakes As always, life at Barefoot Lakes revolves around the natural world. Each new step taken in this community is a gentle one that celebrates the beauty around us.

Last year, the lake opened to rentable watercraft, allowing residents to enjoy the water from a new vantage point. As of this year, the lake will also be open to registered watercraft – meaning residents can bring their own kayaks and paddleboards out to experience the lake on their own terms and their own time.

The option to use your own craft opens up your schedule to experience the lake at different times of day, when you might

glimpse different creatures on the shore or in the water. When we make room for nature, it makes room for us.

To appreciate the natural world, you have to understand it, which is the motivation behind the botanical and educational signage being installed at Barefoot Lakes.

The signs are intended to further engagement, education and affinity for the lakeside ecosystem.

“The educational and botanical signs along the Barefoot Lakes trails enrich the visitor experience by connecting them to our natural world and fostering a better understanding of our

environment, allowing them to appreciate it in new ways,” says Kristin Oles, restoration ecology project manager at High Plans Environmental Center.

Homes at Barefoot Lakes: Bring the outside in Each of the five builders at Barefoot Lakes shares an appreciation for nature-centric construction and design, but they also differ in important ways that cater to a variety of homebuyers.

Whatever you may be seeking in your new home, you can find it with a Barefoot Lakes builder.

Brookfield Residential Brookfield Residential is opening a new model home in its Harvest Portfolio this month, along with five new home designs that are the largest plans to be offered in this portfolio. Starting in the mid $500s, the Harvest portfolio takes nature-centric living to a new level, with expansive windows that imbue your home with natural light, and large porches that encourage star-gazing and lounging in the sun.

“The Harvest Portfolio homes have a great open feel and intelligent use of space for today’s lifestyle,” says Kathy Anderson, community sales manager at Barefoot Lakes. “For the growing family, there’s ample bedrooms and space for both kids and adults, and there’s also appeal for the empty nester couple looking for that spacious ranch with plenty of storage and room to entertain inside and out.”

Brookfield also offers two other portfolios at Barefoot Lakes: the Ovation and Villa Portfolios.

Starting in the low $400s, the Ovation Portfolio offers lowmaintenance living for the sophisticated homebuyer. The Villa Portfolio, with three duplex floor plans, provides space, function and beauty starting in the high $300s.

Lennar Lennar offers four distinctive floor plans through its Pioneer Collection at Barefoot Lakes, each with contemporary details and spacious layouts. Featuring three and four bedrooms and starting at 1,884 square feet, each of the four layouts – Pike, Chelton, Elbert and Evans – features Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program, which outfits the new homes with designer upgrades. This means your Pioneer Collection home will include energy-efficient fixtures, stainless steel appliances and smart home perks like a video doorbell – well worth the starting price in the mid $400s.

KB Homes Starting in the high $300s, KB Homes offers three ranch plans and five, two-story plans at Barefoot Lakes, with countless options for customization and personal details. Options like finishing the basement, or converting a den or loft into a second bedroom, mean you can design the home of your dreams with KB Homes’ Inspire Collection at Barefoot Lakes.

CreekStone Homes Woman-owned CreekStone Homes brings six innovative floor plans to the Barefoot Lakes community. Starting in the low $500s, CreekStone prioritizes fine

craftsmanship, functionality and the “wow” factor, as evidenced by the names of the plans, such as the 2,455-square-foot “Oh Me, Oh My” plan, or the 2,853-squarefoot “Center of Attention” plan, each with up to four bedrooms.

Richmond American Homes The five floor plans from Richmond American Homes start in the low $400s. Each offers grand, spacious living, with the smallest plan starting at 2,168 square feet. The designs allow owners the flexibility to create entertaining space both upstairs and downstairs, as well as inside and outside.

Nature calls you home Home has taken on a greater significance in our new normal: it is not only where we eat and sleep, but it is also where we play and work. Homes are still hubs for our family, and now they also have to provide privacy and individual space as we go about our daily lives. Modern homes need to be peaceful and multi-purpose – and that’s just what you’ll find at Barefoot Lakes.

When you live in a place you love, you don’t want to leave, and you often don’t have to.

Your office, your home, your natural haven: it’s all right here at Barefoot Lakes.

Boulder County 2021 Water Year: Dry forecasted

By Adrian Card Colorado State University Extension in Boulder County

It seems the old Chinese adage (curse?) of “may you be born interesting times” continues to play on from 2020 into 2021.

Atop COVID-19 business pivots from farmers markets and foodservice accounts to increased CSA and online sales, working outdoors in very smokey conditions last summer/ fall, and doing their best to keep farmworkers safe from both, Boulder County farmers are now staring down a 2021 snowpack in the Indian Peaks portion of the South Platte River watershed that varies from 63 to 79% of a 30-year average (NRCS Colorado Snow Survey for Feb. 5). These conditions run parallel to an extreme drought in the watershed above 7500 feet (U.S. Drought Monitor for Feb. 4, 2021; four categories of drought from D1 – moderate, D2 – severe, D3 – extreme, and D4 - exceptional).

Ag often deals with multiple challenges but early 2021 is shaping up to be problematic from the perspective of higher temperatures, lower precipitation and low surface water irrigation supply, the deciding factor for profitability for most farms As a positive for snowpack, NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center published a one-month outlook for February 2021, showing a 33% chance of above average precipitation. With most of the snowpack contributions deposited in February and March, this is

As Boulder County farmers and ranchers are quick to point out, mother nature bats last, and we will have to see if this is another very impactful drought year.

welcomed news. Mind you the three-month precipitation outlook, presumably for March and April, shows a 33% chance of below average precipitation. Based on the NOAA data, it looks like our chances for increasing the snowpack are mostly in February.

And considering the three-month temperature outlook is about 40% of above normal temperatures, this added factor is not helpful for maintaining snowpack as the irrigation season commences.

With extreme drought in the elevations that collect snowpack and deliver runoff into streams, very dry soil will absorb much of the water melted from snow, holding it and preventing

streamflow that would occur if the soil started before snows sufficiently saturated.

Remember back to 2012?

Our last very impactful drought year? Some irrigation canals (ditches) in the southern part of Boulder County did not carry water. Those north of Hwy 52 struggled to supply farms and ranches. Currently, the Feb. 4 U.S. Drought Monitor shows the plains of Boulder County in a severe drought (D2).

The earthen bottom of irrigation ditches must be fully saturated with water before they can effectively carry water to farms and ranches. This happens ideally from spring precipitation and not from surface waters

released into the irrigation ditch.

If the irrigation season starts off with a dry ditch bottom, percolation losses during the first calls for water from farmers can subtract a significant amount of the volume of water sent down the ditch. Similarly, parched field soil requires more water early season to fully wet the soil. Another reason in a scarce water year the hardship of not enough water ripples through the system.

Most would be surprised how much water it takes to produce a crop. With the unit of acre-feet as the basis (the volume of 12 inches of water over the area of an acre, 43,560 square feet, equal to 325,851 gallons), some field crops can be partially irrigated and use as little as 1-acre foot/acre (corn) to produce a crop, while fully irrigated grass or alfalfa can put 3-acre feet/acre to work producing abundant, high quality hay.

Vegetable crops generally cannot be partially irrigated and mixed vegetable farms in Boulder County use on average nearly 2-acre feet per acre.

As Boulder County farmers and ranchers are quick to point out, mother nature bats last, and we will have to see if this is another very impactful drought year.

For now, the odds are stacked against them for a return to ample irrigation water.

In layman’s terms these relate to parties in possession, unrecorded easements, survey matters, unrecorded mechanics’ liens, unrecorded mineral interests, unpaid taxes, and the ‘gap period’.

The Buyer gets much protection, but what about the Seller? There are some risks. Since any issue arising after the effective date of the title commitment would be unknown to the title insurance company, they may seek retribution from the seller. For instance, mechanic’s liens proliferated during the 2008 recession, leaving the title companies in the lurch. If you are selling a complicated property, get some advice from an attorney.

THE LIGHTER SIDE

Valentine’s Day: The holiday I kind of hate, kind of love Like a fair chunk of humanity, I’ve never been a huge fan of Valentine’s Day. It’s not like I had some traumatizing experience in

BY MARY high school on LYNN BRUNY Valentine’s Day At Home Colorado or I have been generally unlucky in love. No, I just think it’s kind of dumb.

Why do we need Valentine’s Day? If you are a couple, you have an anniversary. We also have birthdays and winter holidays to give presents to show affection. I know there is a historical origin to the holiday, but this doesn’t explain why now on Valentine’s Day at 5:30 p.m. one sees hordes of panicked teenaged to

SAVING MADE EASY! greenlightsavings.com

SweetHearts™ candy. (Photo: Shutterstock).

30-year-old men at grocery stores scrambling to buy wilted red roses or whatever heart-themed crud is left on the shelves, usually garish pink and red teddy bears embroidered with “I wuv you.”

So cringe-y.

I guess it’s not the love part of the holiday I have trouble with so much as its over-the-top couplefocused retail aspect. From its humble origins, Valentine’s Day (like Presidents’ and Memorial Days) has been hijacked by marketers who pressure couples (more so the poor men) into proving the level of their love and commitment via extravagant purchases.

Singles – many content with being so – are made to feel somehow deficient since they are not part of this collective love fest. Worst, those currently experiencing heartbreak are slung yet another painful arrow through

their already hurting hearts. How many of them, like Bridgette Jones (in that classic scene), are crying while listening to “All By Myself” on continuous loop?

All that being said, there are several things about Valentine’s Day I really do like. The first is SweetHearts™ candy, those chalky hearts with silly phrases people either love or think taste like old antacids. They combine two of my favorite things: candy and quippy phrases. I also like giving and getting cards with sweet sentiments. Really, that’s nice any day of the year.

And despite my kvetching about stupid purchases, this year we are truly helping our communities when we buy gifts, food and services from our local businesses.

In that spirit, even this Valentine’s Day curmudgeon wouldn’t turn down that thingie I want from my favorite store if my husband

happened to buy it. (Hint, hint.)

But in terms of Valentine’s celebrations, the city of Loveland rocks it. First of all, what a great town name, right? (So much better than Hateland.) My late father-in-law of Fort Collins used to annually mail Valentine’s Day cards through Loveland to get their postmark, a lovely tradition the town has carried on for 75 years. Quit a feat. Then there are my personal favorites, the red message Hearts Around Downtown the city puts all over.

These are so flipping adorable and fun to read.

Perhaps best of all, Loveland has turned Valentine’s into a fun festival for everybody with events, entertainment, art installations and of course, since we are in Colorado, a special craft beer (and wine and coffee). This is a Valentine’s Day celebration I can embrace (if I could embrace). Of course, it’s different this year with COVID (what isn’t?), but there’s still fun to be had. So much nicer of a way to spend the day then fighting over the last deranged looking teddy bear at King Soopers. But if you are there you might as well pick up a few boxes of SweetHearts™. You can never get enough of those.

7 tips for more creative design

Sometimes the best ideas are unexpected ones. Surprise elements can often help inspire a creative look. Not sure where to start? Here are seven ideas.

3.

Creative shelving ideas – From using actual books as shelves to reclaimed wood and even skateboards, a lot of choices can serve as a welcomed break from the traditional.

Tropical leaves instead of traditional fake florals – Gone are the days where silk or dried flowers are the only artificial options.

Removable wall stickers or wallpaper – Wallpaper remains more popular than ever. Not sure if you want to take the plunge? Opt for removable wall sticker art

Global pieces – Tribal or global pieces can add interest to a space and serve

5.

Metals – From hardware to accent pieces, these elements can help add both

6.

Decorative elements that enhance architectural features – Have a bookcase? Why not add a decorative ladder as a highlight?

7.

Experimenting with lighting – Lighting can be a fun way to infuse character into a space, from chandeliers to wall features.
