Nestled in the heart of downtown Breckenridge, you will find the perfect ski town home-away-from-home. The only problem…? It needed a little TLC! Thankfully the layout of the home was already functioning well, it really just needed an interior facelift.
We started by demolishing nearly the entire interior and, in some areas, we took it down to the studs. We had to relocate some plumbing, take out some old heaters, and move some lighting in order to raise the ceilings in some areas. It was well worth it because the whole aesthetics of the home felt so much more spacious and we increased the function of several spaces.
Throughout the home we selected a Luxury Vinyl Plank which looks and feels like hardwood, but is 100% waterproof which is critical to not only have in a rental space, but also to have in a place where we have eight months of snow. We also replaced the baseboards with 5-1/2” dark painted boards and selected a stunning medium-toned stained knotty alder wood for the doors and beam wraps. This really modernized the whole space.
The main living area had the most significant change of the whole house. We updated the kitchen with new knotty alder shaker style cabinets, quartz countertops with matching backsplash, and took all of the knee walls down to be at counter height. We also raised the ceiling and removed the tongue-and-groove. This made the whole interior feel lighter and brighter. In the living room, we updated the fireplace with new stone and a floating mantle.
We painted and applied new wall texture throughout the home and updated all of the lighting fixtures to highlight the new mountain modern look. All four of the bathrooms received new cabinets, countertops, tile, and lighting. There was nothing left untouched!
Finally, we came in and added all new furnishings throughout. We added new hardwood furniture in the master bedroom and guest rooms. We were able to repurpose the old bunk beds in the kid’s room. We also kept the loft area sleeper sofa so it could double as a theater room. The living room has performance fabric sofas so they will hold up over time with renters. we also found a gorgeous wood dining table with wishbone chairs to compliment the kitchen design. One of my favorite elements of this project was the artwork. We created some beautiful vignettes and collage walls using some unique, local art and some of my client’s personal skiing pictures.
This home is not only the perfect getaway for my clients but is also a luxury rental property with gorgeous views of the slopes. The interiors are a perfect balance of the rustic touches you expect to see in the mountains while still encompassing the modern, Scandinavian timeless design that will last for years to come.
