Dinner Chez Herman

Dinner Chez Herman

The entertaining area with its cozy fireplace and doors that open up to the patio, showcases an eclectic array of vintage furniture that perfectly complements the homeowner’s cherished collection of drinks. Tasteful photographs of dear friends, along with some books adorn his vintage find. A striking mid-century modern lamp casts a warm, inviting glow over a captivating vintage poster of Bitter Monomelli, who seems to guard the carefully curated drinks below, adding an air of whimsy and charm to the space. Although the home doesn't have a large footprint, its layout is perfectly balanced, offering an ideal indoor and outdoor environment for California living. It features immaculate hardwood flooring, a soft white paint scheme throughout, and a guest bedroom equipped with a dream built-in that can accommodate a vast collection of cookbooks!

Also, what is the best time to buy?

my favorite things to do in Boulder

my favorite things to do in Boulder

I love our annual outings to Boulder, the place where Greg grew up. A beautiful location that embraces the outdoors, and how could it not, with the Rockys as a backdrop.

During our January visits, the open plains are broken up with trees that have been frosted, and they look as if they have paused in time away from the fast lanes of life. The little sprinkles of snow here and there are perfect as they add a charm to the perfectly blue skies (when not cloudy) and the cold, penetrating weather gives you no other option than to grab your warmest, coziest, and coolest look to run around town and visit your favorite places!
