The Park | ONE Riverfront A Success

The launch of our newest addition to Riverfront Park - The Park | ONE Riverfront- has been a smashing success. With only eighteen homes in the building, and five of them under contract in one week, this is shaping out to be an opportunity for just a lucky few. So, why are the homes at The Park going like hotcakes?

Prime location is surely a driver, however, the ability for owners to customize to their heart's desire is also another major draw. The size of the building ensures that homeowners will get to know all of their neighbors by first name. Moreover, The Park is built in the Union Station view corridor and offers protected views of both Commons Park and the city skyline. Add the abundance of windows and a private park and, well, you've got something that just cannot be found anywhere else in Downtown Denver.

Making Over Millennium Bridge

If you've been down on The Plaza anytime in the past few years then you've probably noticed that the bridge has a rust problem. We've tried wire brushing and rust resistant paint, again and again, but within weeks the rust rears its ugly head again. The reason?

The stairs- on the Riverfront Park side only- were designed in such a way that a concrete step sits inside of a steel pan. Concrete holds and releases moisture and that moisture reacts against the steel pan to produce rust. Additionally, in the winter the stairs are salted to prevent ice build-up, which exacerbates the problem. The fix?

The stairs on the Riverfront Park side need to be replaced. Luckily, the city side stairs are designed differently and do not have a rust issue. Replacement work will begin in May and will run through July. Folks will still be able to get up and over the bridge via temporary access during that time and they can also use the elevator. Granite, a longer term and lower maintenance fix, will replace the concrete.

Wallpaper Revival

Growing up in a design-challenged family meant that most of my early days were spent pondering tired wallpaper in shades of 70s acorn and avocado whilst eating tuna casserole. In the late 80s the family kitchen received a necessary facelift. Acorn gave way to pink plaid paper and a pastel farm scene border that featured milkmaids with buckets. I swear. Hideous.

The 90s brought us sponge painting techniques, and ushered in the timely death of wallpaper as we knew it. Very few mourned its passing. But, the Grand Dame of decor is making her entrance again.

Wallpaper now seen dressing the pages of Elle Decor and Dwell, is also a frequent set backdrop in catalogs such as Design Within Reach, Crate & Barrel, and West Elm. Moreover, small-scale boutique designs are commonly featured in Design*Sponge, a popular blog.

As one of the fastest and easiest ways to dress up a room, wallpaper can have the same effect that a good garnish has on a plate. By adding a little boldness and texture, just one accent wall can be a visual feast.

Doubters, rest assured. Gone are the days of wagon wheels, mushrooms and still life fruit. These days, wallpaper portfolios feature knockout designs in a wide range of styles. Elegant damask and toile are featured in palettes perfect for the sophisticate. Reinterpreted botanical scenes are available in the most delicious of colors. Just about anything can be found in funky metallic. Seeing is believing and a favorite around here is the Cole and Son gallery. If you have a willing wall, and are thirsty for a change, all we are saying is give wallpaper a chance.
