After their Niwot, Colorado, home was inundated with floodwater and mud in the historic 2013 flood, the owners brought their “glass is half full” zest for life to the process of restarting their lives in a modest budget-conscious home. It wouldn’t have been possible without the goodwill of neighbors, friends, strangers, donated services, and their own grit and full engagement in the building process. Water-shed Revival is a 2000 square foot home designed for social engagement, inside-outside living, the joy of cooking, and soaking in the sun and mountain views. The lofty space under the shed roof speaks of farm structures, but with a twist of the modern vis-à-vis clerestory windows and glass walls. Concrete floors act as a passive solar heat sink for a constant sense of thermal comfort, not to mention a relief for muddy pet paw cleanups. Cost-effective structure and material choices, such as corrugated metal and HardiePanel siding, point this home and this couple toward a renewed future.

The Conservation Club of Kenosha County was building a new range house after fifty years and a lot of members donated their time to help build and finish the place. I donated a few evenings to paint the ceilings and walls and stain and poly the wood trim and anything else that needed to be finished.

This room was designed for a 3 year old girl whose mother was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer while pregnant with her second daughter. Savvy Giving by Design (.org) is a non profit arm of Savvy Interiors. All items were purchased with donations and our time and contractors donated their services.

PKAD salvaged a burned down Church and helped LI Youth Mentoring design a new headquarters. The arbors as shown here was the finishing touches....IPE wood overhead was donated by a sponsor of the organization but could not afford the installation because of the complexities of the install. Missionaries from Brazil "happened" to meet the CEO of the organization and donated their time and experience in working with IPE to do the install.

The deck was power washed and this very nice donated patio set gives the family a relaxing outdoor retreat.

The before and after of a kid's closet cleanup. Simplifi took everything out and then put it all back - after going through the contents with the homeowner to see what was needed, what could be stored somewhere else and what could be donated. Much easier to find everything!
