There’s a new wave of modern design in Colorado, and now you can participate through Denver by Design, a series of design events and exhibitions airing at the vintage-and-modern home goods stop Mod Livin’, all taking place during the month of August. Seven design experts have judged more than 60 works by local creatives in order to bring you the top 25 best modern expressions of furniture, objects and art–all for sale and on display at the showroom during August. Or take part in "5 x 5": a conversation series during each of the five Mondays in August from 6-7:30 pm, where an artist will host a discussion about his or her work. If you can’t make it to Denver to celebrate all that’s mod, go to modlivin.com and vote for your favorite of the 25 designs.

In the high country, we’re all about indoor/outdoor living, so we predict the latest from Marvin Windows and Doors is going to be an instant hit. Hot on the market, the Ultimate Lift and Slide throws notions of the traditional door out the window. Available in sizes as large as 12-feet-by-48-feet, this door (if you can even call it that) is made of panels of glass that disappear from view in one of two ways: they either stack together and appear as one panel, or completely disappear and slide into a pocket in the wall. The effect? Nothing but views. Look for the Ultimate Lift and Slide nationwide this winter (though if you just have to have it, now it’s already available in some regions). Check it out at marvin.com.

Last night, at ASID Colorado’s Eleventh Annual Interior Design Awards, Associates III took the honors in the "Sustainable Home" category for Mountain Living’s Natural Dream Home! It’s no wonder the home’s interiors received accolades: every fixture and furnishing, from recycled concrete and glass countertops to bunk beds crafted from reclaimed Wyoming snow fence, was selected for its sustainability and style. To take a look inside, click here. Congratulations to the team at Associates III and Mountain Living for making it all happen!

| Gallatin Gateway Inn, Bozeman. |
If you’re anything like us, and architecture and home design are more exciting than the average topic of conversation, then this conference is well worth the trip to Bozeman, Montana. Called Designing the New West, the gathering draws the Rocky Mountain region’s top architects, developers, land planners and landscape designers—with inspiring ideas in tow, plus the scoop on the trends that are shaping our mountain region.
Event highlights include visits to a green home site, a look at the most recent development forecast in the West, plenty of panel discussions and presentations on innovative projects, and a chance to swap thoughts and rub elbows with the leading voices in the field. It all happens on April 16th and 17th at the historic Gallatin Gateway Inn, which happens to be a feat of architectural ingenuity itself. (The 42,000-square-foot Spanish-style building was raised in 1927 in a mere four months, and the hotel’s opening overshadowed news of Lindbergh’s transatlantic flight in Montana headlines.)
Check out the details of the event, put on by NewWest.Net and the Sonoran Institute, right here. We might even see you there.

You know that painting the walls is a quick way to update a room. It’s amazing how much difference some color can make. But what about wallpaper? It can instantly update a room and add depth, texture, patterns and multiple colors. We just love the wallcoverings from Seabrook. It’s so easy to get lost in their Wallcoverings Idea Gallery, which is full of hundreds of photos of creatively designed rooms from kitchens to bedrooms to bathrooms and everything in between.
Visit seabrookwallpaper.com to explore the idea gallery, to find more product information and to locate a dealer near you.

The sinks from Stone Forest elevate what is normally just a functional item to a work of art. Bringing out the natural beauty of the materials, the artists at Stone Forest create truly elegant results. The Faceted Pedestal pictured here has a granite sink and polished countertop. We think it will add a dramatic touch to any bathroom.

We love beautiful fabrics so we were excited to discover the Royal Oak Foundation Collection II from Lee Jofa. The velvety textures, rich colors and intoxicating prints are just stunning.
What we love even more is that these fabrics support a good cause. The Foundation is an American non-profit that supports the conservation and preservation of historic houses and gardens throughout England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
These fabrics would make great accent pillows to pop some color into a room. Here are some of our faves:

The edgy yet sophisticated wire-mesh fabric from Cascade Coil is proof that environmentally friendly materials can be stylish. The versatile fabric has many applications, such as window treatments, dividers, wall and ceiling treatments, shower curtains, and more. (My favorite is this unique wine rack.) Go to cascadecoil.com for more information.
