We all love our pumpkin spice lattes and halloween parties, but the best part of fall in Colorado in undoubtably getting outside to enjoy the beautiful fall colors.


Here's a list of 8 of the best day trips to take to soak up this fall weather

1) Georgetown and Silver Plume
You can't miss the Georgetown Loop Railroad, which you can catch in either Georgetown or Silver Plume. There are several options, including a 1hr 15min loop on the train, or a 30min train ride and mine tour that travels into a tunnel.  After your railroad adventure, explore the historic streets of small town Silver Plume. If you’re not the one driving home, be sure to make a pit stop at Bread Bar (a converted 1800s-era bakery, open weekends only) on your way out of town.

2) Frisco and…

As a homeowner, you likely have a laundry list of things you want to improve in your home. From small things like a new splash of paint to larger projects like that bathroom or basement remodel, the improvement possibilities are endless.


However, if you're thinking of selling your space within the next several years, keep in mind that it is possible to "over-improve" your space.

Simply put, over-improving your space means making changes that go above and beyond the possible ROI, or fixing up the home to the point where it becomes worth far more than nearby neighborhood properties.

Down the road, when you may want to sell, potential homebuyers will be reluctant to pay, say, $300,000 for your home when others are priced at $250,000. It may not matter if…

Many luxury rental buildings are now offering incentives to renters in Denver

A booming tech industry and strong job market have fueled an apartment-building frenzy in the midsize, mile-high city of Denver. Neighborhoods once filled with rundown 19th-century warehouses, modest apartment complexes and vacant lots have transformed into landscapes of glass, brick and steel, as new structures continue to climb.

Standing on the 12th-floor roof deck of the Alexan Uptown, a new 372-unit luxury apartment building, real-state agent Justin De La O counts about half a dozen cranes within a few blocks’ radius that mark where similar properties are rising.

Median rents in Denver grew to $1,184 in 2015, up from $777 in 2005—a 52% increase, according to…

Are you having trouble with your house plants? Even your most low maintenance plants won't thrive if they aren't given the proper lighting exposure.

This video by West Elm inspired us to learn about which house plant is best for each area of a house. This video will show you exactly which plant belongs in lots of light, bright lights, indirect light, and low lights.



According to Better Homes and Gardens, there are general rules to follow in regards to lighting, but each of these rules has exceptions. For example, flowering plants need more light than foliage plants. Most plants with thick, fleshy leaves need little light, yet cacti and succulents thrive in bright light. Some plants flower according to how long light is present each day, rather than…

Until now, there has been strict guidelines on where Airbnbs are allowed in Denver, and under which circumstances. A new pilot program is working to make Airbnb more accessible.

The standard one bedroom at Archer Tower Apartments in Capitol Hill rents for $1,440 a month, unless tenants plan on listing their unit on Airbnb.

Then they get a discount, and get to run a little side-hustle with their landlord’s blessing.

Commit to listing your one bedroom on Airbnb for 10 days a year, the ad says, and your monthly rent becomes $1,380. Commit to 60 days, and rent drops to $1,075, a 25 percent cut.

Tenants in Pillow buildings can sign a lease addendum that authorizes short-term rentals. In return, the landlord has the ability to track and monitor the…

You've heard about the tiny house craze, probably from HGTV's Tiny House Hunters. This trend is a great way to simplify living, but there are downsides as well. 


Tiny homes aren't designed just because of their adorable aesthetic, they also promote sustainable living. There is a movement behind the tiny houses, one which has many supporters. Reasons to jump on the tiny house boat include saving money, living a greener life, and high flexibility. 

One of the biggest reasons to switch to the tiny lifestyle is cost. According to Huffington Post, the average household in 2014 spent roughly $1,483 on housing costs. If the owner is able to finance the building of the tiny house, they could save a large amount on monthly costs. 

Many have chosen tiny homes…
