This ongoing project started as a new build several years ago. Dwell helped the homeowners with the finishes, lighting, and furniture of the main spaces upstairs to achieve the Mountain-esque vibe the clients love when visiting Colorado. A few years later, when it was time to finish the lower level, Dwell got involved even more in helping select the full design plan for the space. This included helping with kitchen design, fireplace design, tile and flooring selections, as well as trim details and built ins, and of course the furniture design as well!

Building or remodeling a home comes with a lot of moving pieces — and one of the biggest questions is always: What does the timeline actually look like?
From early planning and selections to construction support and the final furnishings layer, great design is a process that unfolds in phases (not all at once). Our latest blog walks through what each stage really feels like, why timing matters, and how thoughtful planning creates a smoother, more cohesive home from start to finish.
Because a well-designed home doesn’t happen by accident — it happens with intention from day one.
