Project #1: Cook St House


We began demo on our new project on February 16th. We are very excited about this house because it has a lot of potential to go from dysfunctional to functional and sytlish. It is a large home with about 3000 sq. ft including the basement. There are lots of bedrooms but some are being converted to bathroom/closet space. In the end, we expect to create a 3 bedroom, 4 bathroom house.


Our plans for the house include:



  • Energy Star windows

  • Refinish original hardwood flooring

  • Bamboo flooring in other areas without original hardwoods

  • Create a master suite with a jacuzzi tub, fancy shower, and a large closet

  • Add bathroom to top floor deemed the "atrium bathroom"

  • Low flush toilets throughout

  • Energy star lighting and fans

  • Open up entries to main floor rooms

  • A stunning kitchen with cinnamon colored Cherry cabinetry, Stainless steel Energy Star appliances including a hood over the oven, and installed trash/recycling center.

  • Updated bathrooms

  • Industrial-style wet bar in basement

  • Theatre-ready room in basement

  • Work-out room in basement

  • Wine cellar

  • Energy Star washer and dryer

  • New 95% efficient furnace, air conditioner, and water heater

  • Landscaped yard - front and back

  • New roof on detached garage and motion sensored lighting.

We've got lots to do but the transformation will be amazing. We expect to complete this project in roughly 3 months. Keep checking back for updates and pictures. If you know anyone looking for a house in Denver...send them a link to this blog so they can check it out.
