When clients in our neighborhood wanted to update their 10-year-old master bath, we knew exactly what needed to happen.....everything had to go! We started fresh with Karndean commercial-grade vinyl plank flooring, new lighting including a chandelier from Lumens, free-standing vanities, marble counters, and a tub and free standing faucet from Signature [...]
Over the kids' Fall Break we decided to visit some friends in the Durango, Colorado. Durango is not around the corner from Denver, it is a 6 hours drive with clear roads. But the views are stunning and worth the effort. This other little lady was also adopted from China. Our two families [...]
We recently saw a FB post from Matt Thorne, a college friend of Kyndra's. Matt is a hubby, a dad of 3, and son of a soon to be retired mom that lives in Portland, OR. He recently built his mom a Tiny House so she could be closer to the family. [...]

Kyndra designed the main builtin to be both pretty and functional. The stamped mesh panels look beautiful with the added function giving the A/V equipment adequate [...]
Over the past few years, we have designed and installed custom barn doors for numerous clients. Sometimes a barn door makes the most sense for a space. Sometimes it's more of a desire than a need, but a barn door almost always makes a space more interesting and cool. These double doors close off a [...]
A few months back, Kyn went on a girl's weekend and the kids and I were left to fend for ourselves. This happens every once in a while and always seems to work out just fine. However, the law of averages states that if you flip a coin 3 times and it comes up [...]
