2017 Anniversary Haus...is on the Market

In a perfect world, I would be a fixer-upper/flipper. Nothing. Nothing gets my creative juices flowing like a new nest waiting to be feathered. And in Colorado Mike and I have now purchased and flipped 6 homes since 1996. The market is like a swinging door with Buyers and Sellers constantly moving and shaking. Plus, it is an International market which means your field of draw is even larger than most. The other thing that makes flipping in the Rockies so much fun is that there is a new store in town. Not brand new but new to me as...

2016 Anniversary Haus: A Final Wrap-up

Apologies to my mother and a handful of other people who might be reading this for taking so long to write a post, but I have spent this summer, when I haven't been taking care of Pressing Events, trying to increase my people skills ...so, this Blog has been on the back shelf and getting a tad dusty.

(at least in the early mornings and after the sun goes down) Our downstairs Man Cave/Media Room is a crowning achievement for a most deserving husband. You can see more pictures of the before look here. Remember David Medina went to Home Depot for the cabinetry, granite and appliances. Ruggs-Benedict, here in Edwards, did the hardwoods. My golfing husband now has a room to entertain his golf buddies in. I especially like how the mirrors make the...

2015 Anniversary Haus meets Man Cave

One of the reasons we are returning to Colorado is the Medinas. This couple can do anything, we learned this over a 12 year period. When we bought the condo in 2012 David transformed a little over 1000 sf into the highest per sf sale in all of the condos. We asked David Medina if he were up for doing it again. He was.    So here is what we bought... and I'm thinking you can also see why we bought it. Yes, A River Runs Through It! Fly fishing happens there too, but there have been no sightings of...
