| Notice the wood 'sill' beneath the lower window that brings the wood lines from the roof in to perfect balance. How I wish the landscape design complimented the architecture better! |
 |
| This (and the following) are my two favorites of the smaller homes. I love the roofline that incorporates the chimney, or perhaps, it is the other way around! |
 |
| If you look closely, you'll notice rusty, vertical steel sculpture against the plantings. |
 |
| Ahhh...another picture of perfection! Its hard to tell in this photo, but the door is light pink! |
 |
| Isn't this bold! I love the deep turquoise with the color of the red brick. |
 |
| My friend noticed that the Jeep served to compliment the paint colors on the house. |
 |
| In this garden, long strands of white lights are hanging straight down from the trees! At night, it must look like white, illuminated snow or rain. |
 |
| The PERFECT garage door! Lovely!!! |

From what I can see of that rusty sculpture it is exactly the kind of thing that could temp me into putting a little garden art in my garden.
So I am surprised seeing this Mid-Century Modern fan side of you. Have you ever thought about moving to the ranch-lands north of Fernhill Park?
those are the best yet!! love love love them all! the clean lines, the painted doors, the pathways, the overall solid, yet understated quality of the homes in general. my favorite are the brick and rock materials--just divine!! who gets to live there (the owners obviously get it). and who was/were the architect(s)?? so sad this is the last of it...but thanks so much!!
Danger garden,
I TOTALLY agree with you about the steel sculpture! From the looks of it, the same sculptor has created works for many of the A.A. residents. I LOVE MCM's and would LOVE the opportunity to design gardens for MCM's in the area. So far as moving, my house is in a 'work-in-progress' state - I won't be moving anytime soon.
Laguna Dirt,
yeah! I'm glad you like them!!! Look up the Arapahoe Acres historical society site for info. about the architects - its a great site! You should go for a visit too!
Lauren - stunning! I didn't know about this but I'll be visiting Denver in March and will be looking this place up. Thank you for all the photos.
It's been interesting to read your excitement about these houses - they are not the kind of property i would tend to get exceited about - but your enthusiasm is infectious and i have seen things in them, with your pprompting thsat i would normaluy have missed
Fantastic, Kate! I hope you'll share some photos from your trip too!
A Year in My Garden, your comment is very exciting TO ME TOO! I thoroughly enjoy how differently we see the world and the opportunity to see through one another's eyes! Thank you for your comment!
