modmood/retro consignment...

Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend,

 as usual we packed in a lot of fun with friends, family and, of course, food! 

Last week a friend and I went to an open house a unique local store, 

modmood/RETRO Consignment

modmood features contemporary and designer furniture, lighting, area rugs, art, and other cutting edge

furnishings. RETRO Consignment caters to mid-century enthusiasts, vintage collectors and everyone

looking for unusual and fun americana. It is the place to shop for and consign pieces.

7700 W. 44th Ave., Wheat Ridge, CO 

I was completely smitten with this large oval storage ottoman by Norwalk,

 the bold pink and orange print was lively and modern yet the style felt classic.

It had been awhile since I'd seen pieces from Norwalk Furniture,

 I was impressed with their furniture and fabric lines available through modmood.

Love these colors and textures...

Lots of painted furniture in bright, vibrant hues...  

Is it me, or do some of these colors look awfully close to mauve....

Great peacock pillow.

A collection of their vintage pieces are in the back in an old greenhouse.

HUGE lamps...

I immediately thought of my friends Linda and Jennifer when I saw these...

$40 for the pair.

I tried to talk my friend into this aged brass, beauty...

Aqua leather with nail head trim...fabulous...

 Stop by if you're local, it's a fun outing!

Today I'm working on a diy project ~ yard art ~ to be revealed this week! :)

neighborhood tour...

...in the rain.

Mother Nature put a damper on my potting bench project for the past couple days.

So, I was shopping (for gifts!) in Cherry Creek and thought I'd take a scenic street home.

 Then it dawned on me that you'd all probably like to see the pretty houses, too!

This neighborhood is about ten minutes from my house.

Do you have a favorite?

 I'm the worst at choosing in these games!

I promise the next tour will be on a beautiful sunny Colorado day,

blue skies and flowers in bloom, until then I'm loving the rain! 

neighborhood tour ~ october

                                                  Grab your running shoes,
                             we're heading out for a tour of our neighborhood!

                                                    
                                                 Cute sign ~ Please close the gate

                            Those table bases would be a fun DIY,  for someone out there!

                                                         One of my favorites!

                                                    Pretty fence, too.

                                                  Paint the brick? Absolutely!!

                                                         I want a garden shed.

                                                            And a tile roof.
                     

                                                   Look at that brick detail.


                                          More painted brick.

                                            Arbor covered with roses, pretty soon.

                                              This could be creepy for Halloween.

                                                            Tidy Victorian            

                                                Horse property with covered wagon!


                                                        Beautiful backyard.

Wonderful next door neighbors!

 Only one person caught me, she just moved here, poor lady.

I told her I was doing a project on pretty houses,

 of course, she warmed right up!

Enjoy the weekend and whatever makes your neighborhood special!
