Bask in the Sun: Great Rooftop Bars in Boulder

Bask in the Sun: Great Rooftop Bars in Boulder

boulder rooftop

We’re smack dab in the middle of WinterSpring or SpringWinter or whatever you want to call that crazy unpredictable weather that engulfs Boulder during the Ides of March (which is tomorrow, in case you were wondering). This is the time when people, sick to death of being cooped up for several months, flood the parks, patios and any other open space outdoors any time there’s a sunny, warm day. You can actually hear the collective Ahhh of the city’s inhabitants when the temperatures hit 60 degrees.

My favorite way to soak in the Boulder Spring sunshine is on a rooftop. Preferably on said rooftop with a nice frosty drink in my hand or snacks in front of me. While most of the killer rooftop bars and restaurants in Boulder are in downtown Boulder, there are a few that step outside those boundaries. Read on to see if your favorites are included and maybe you can find a new rooftop bar in Boulder to catch some rays.

Rio Grande Restaurant

I can’t think of a better drink than a margarita to go with my sunshine. It’s sweet and refreshing, plus, with a limit of four margs per customer (they pack a punch), you’re not going to spend too much either. The Rio is located right downtown on Walnut and has been a fixture in Boulder for as long as I can remember.

Lazy Dog Sports Bar

Located on the corner of 14th and Pearl, this is the one place I’ve included that’s truly on the Pearl Street Mall. The Lazy Dog’s rooftop is impressive. It’s spacious with plenty of tables and some shaded spots for the fair-skinned bunch. The food here is acceptable, but I would suggest using this place as meeting point for friends to grab a pitcher of beer and soak up the sun before heading on to other venues as day turns into night. Or, just drink until the food is more sustenance than substance and catch a cab or walk back to your abode.

West End Tavern    

When I turned 21, this was my first choice for rooftop drinking and the West Endwill always hold a special place in my heart for that. Plus, with a menu that makes your mouth water, the West End rooftop is a great place for drinks and dinner (or lunch).

Southern Sun Brewery

Located at Table Mesa and Broadway, the Southern Sun is in a completely different area and has a more mellow vibe from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The area is more family oriented and so you’ll likely find an older crowd here. The rooftop here gets full quickly so be sure to stake a claim early. Remember, none of the Mountain Sun businesses take credit, so be sure to bring your cash.

Drakes Haus

I haven’t had a chance to visit this place yet, but every time I look at their menu, I start to drool. This place has Merlot Burgers.  I’m not entirely sure what that means, but if it’s meat and wine, I fail to see how you can go wrong. Plus, they have a beautiful rooftop patio with some spectacular unobstructed views of the mountains and it’s also another bar off the downtown strip.

I’m sure I’ve missed some other great rooftops in Boulder, so if you have a recommendation, be sure to mention it in the comments. Perhaps you have a favorite park or secret spot that can’t be beat; if you feel like sharing, you can give us those details as well. Happy sunning!

Boulder Fast Casual: Convenient Food That’s Anything but Junk

Boulder Fast Casual: Convenient Food That’s Anything but Junk

Fast Casual Food in BoulderIt’s Boulder — where do you eat (and fast) when you’re in a rush? You want to skip the fake food-in-a-box places but you’re willing to get out of the car and sit if it means healthy, delicious, AND fast. Well, it’s time for a Boulder fast casual joint.

With Hapa Sushi announcing that they have plans to open up a fast-casual sushi joint called Motomaki at the Twenty Ninth Street Mall this summer, Boulder adds another gourmet restaurant to its fast-casual repertoire.

For so long, people associated fast-casual food with convenient, but not quite healthy food options. Places like Chipotle, Noodles, and Buffalo Wild Wings sprout up all over the country and, well, we love them because they give us pretty good food for a decent price and we don’t have to wait for it. And waiting for food is the worst thing ever.

However, there’s a delightful new trend in Boulder that makes fast-casual a less gluttonous experience. Food that doesn’t dent your wallet, but also doesn’t cause your cholesterol count to sky rocket. Here are some healthy fast-casual food options you can find in Boulder.

Modmarket

This relatively new chain claims several locations around Colorado including one in Boulder. Customers can enjoy farm fresh food and unique menu items, plus they offer food to fit just about any restrictive diet, be it vegan, dairy-free or paleo. In addition, the décor at Modmarket certainly beats eating at one of the tables in Whole Foods.

Native Foods

Delicious vegan fast-casual. You can include that on a list of things that I never thought I’d write in my lifetime. Native Foods has places all over the West Coast and Chicago and their menu has earned them the praise of vegans around town. Their location at the Twenty Ninth Street Mall, along with Modmarket, makes this location a sort of fast-casual mecca for vegans looking for a quick fix.

Curry-N-Kebob

Let’s give this list a little bit of international flavor because there are a wide variety of fast-casual places that offer up sweet and savory ethnic food. Among them isCurry-N-Kebob, which offers Indian food at reasonable prices (and it’s pretty damn good too).

Cuba Cuba Sandwicheria

As their website says, “Eat Cuban!” I couldn’t agree more. Cubans know how to do a sandwich right! Now, this probably doesn’t fit into the “healthy, light” food category (roasted pork, ham and Swiss cheese on the Cuban sandwich alone), but screw it; it’s not everywhere in Colorado that you can find good Cuban food on the fly.

Zoe Ma Ma

You can’t have a fast-casual food list without some Chinese food in the mix andZoe Ma Ma is the perfect Boulder fit. Get your comfort foods such as dumplings (they’re vegan) or hot and sour soup, but with a Boulder twist: everything is made with high quality ingredients like cage-free eggs and all-natural meat. Plus, the organic noodles are made in-house.

Boulder has got some pretty unconventional options when it comes to fast-casual dining, so take that, Qdoba! What are some of your favorite places in Boulder where you can get a quick meal for a great price?

Time sure flies!

Time sure flies!

spring

Soon it will be Spring and the start of another crazy home buying and selling frenzy is in store for the Boulder area. As you know, last year was crazy with multiple offers, and bidding wars seemed to be the norm. I feel more of the same will be in store for this year with even less inventory then we had  last year. Things are going to get crazy! So, if you are thinking of putting your home on the market, this may be the perfect opportunity. With inventory so low,     I have been sending out mailings for my clients in neighborhoods they have an interest in, simply because there are hardly any homes on the market. When homes do come up for sale, they go under contract in just days.

So if you are thinking of putting your home on the market, or know of someone who is,  please give me a call. I can sit down with you and discuss some Seller tips, like it might be best to put your home up for sale earlier this year to beat the frenzy and sell your home while there is less competition.

Please give me a call, and lets discuss how I can help you. Take care, and I hope to hear from you soon.

THE DESIGN MISTAKES YOU’RE MAKING RIGHT NOW

THE DESIGN MISTAKES YOU’RE MAKING RIGHT NOW

Written by Jaymi Naciri

You just bought your new home, and you’re ready to put your personal stamp on it. Go get that paint brush and paint those kitchen cabinets neon yellow! It’s your home, right? What’s the problem?

For starters, making bold changes to your home without considering a few things, like… how they might affect resale value, your taste level, the taste level of other people who might want to buy your home some day, how hard it might be to paint over neon yellow, whether or not you are qualified to do a decent job painting your cabinets neon yellow (or any color for that matter)… may not be your best option, but it’s a good thing that there are London Industrial painters who can assist us in making better choices regarding our paint color.

You’re making mistakes in your home everyday, whether by changing the big things, not changing the small things, or just plain changing things wrong, according to Yahoo (via HGTV). They talked to “some of today’s hottest interior designers to count down” the top decorating mistakes found in American home design.

You can check out the full list here. We’ve included a few of our faves below, and also added a few of our own.

1. Toilet Rugs

“Toilet rugs are cut to fit around the toilet and sometimes have the carpet-like matching seat cover. Opt for a regular rectangular rug placed away from the base of the toilet instead,” said Yahoo.

We have to agree. And, we would add, this is especially important if you have boys. Just think about it.

2. Following Fads

It’s easy to fall in love with something and then never let it go. “From beanbag chairs to lava lamps, be careful of trends as it’s difficult to get rid of those items once the fad is gone, especially furniture,” said Yahoo. Decorate in a style you’ll really like for a long time such as getting a modern sleeper sofa. Have fun with it, but be ready to recycle it when it goes out of style.

Speaking of which.

3. Faux finishing

It’s over. Really. You should do something about that.

4. Outdated Accessories

One of the easiest and most economical updates for a house is updating cabinet hardware. If yours look like this…

it’s time.

“Don’t let your rooms feel dated by hanging on to older cabinets and especially hardware,” said Yahoo. “Make small changes like switching the hardware on your kitchen or bath cabinets for a big impact.”

5. Thinking You Can Do It All Yourself

They make contractors and plumbers and electricians for a reason. It’s because they are skilled at doing stuff the average person is not. We can’t all be Mr. Fix It.

That doesn’t mean you can’t fix a toilet or build a closet. But it may mean you should stay away from the kitchen sink and the electrical panel. And probably the HVAC system and the roof especially if your home requires roof replacement. Don’t be afraid to hire out and write a check. You can always count on Gator Electric and Communications for your electrical concerns.

It may actually save you money in the end. It will most certainly save you frustration.

That being said…

6. Not Thinking You Can Do Anything Yourself.

Just because the bookcase you bought at IKEA gave you fits and took two weeks to assemble doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of doing anything. There is pride in DIY… if you start small and take on a job you can finish, and do well.

If you’re a DIY virgin, ease in by painting a wall. You can always have it repainted. Or torn down, depending on how bad your paint job is. You can also check out this website, https://industrialpaintingcontractors.co.uk/, to get more ideas on the color you want done.

7. Cable Cobwebs

The cords coming from your TV look like a spider web and you’re so used to it you don’t even notice anymore, right? Visitors to your home will, and this sloppy look is taking away from your chic style.

“Keep wires hidden at all times with these easy solutions” from Yahoo:

  1. 1. Use a staple gun to attach them to the back of furniture or along baseboards.
  2. 2. Find a cord cover that matches your wall color.
  3. 3. If the furniture isn’t a valuable antique, drill a hole in the back for the cords to go through.

If none of that is feasible, purchase a cord keeper for a couple bucks from IKEA, or repurpose the twisty-tie from your package of bread.

I JUST GOT AN OFFER ON MY HOME AND I’M SO MAD

I JUST GOT AN OFFER ON MY HOME AND I’M SO MAD

 

Don’t Get Mad, Get Even More For Your Home

First, you’re shocked. Then you get angry. “They offered WHAT?”

As you glare at your REALTORv, all you can think of is how insulted you are. How could buyers offer you so little for your home? Don’t they know what you paid for it? All you’ve put into to it? Don’t they know how much the house down the street sold for?

Before you throw the offer in the trash, take a deep breath, cool down, and get some perspective.

You want to sell your home.
You want to sell it fast.
You want what your home is worth.

Here’s the other side:

The buyer wants your home.
The buyer wants to pay a fair price.
The buyer has the same market data you do.

You and your buyer aren’t as far apart as you think. You just need to work through your differences.

Don’t get mad at the one person who made an offer on your home. Get mad at all the other buyers who walked through your home and didn’t make an offer.

Find out the negatives where your buyers are focused. Deferred maintenance or dated decor are expensive to correct. You didn’t want to put in the money; why should the buyer?

Look for where you can compromise. Are you willing to make the repairs and updates buyers want? If not, are you willing to lower the price? And if you don’t lower the price, can you afford to wait for another offer that may never come?

Think back to when you and your Realtor first discussed pricing for your home. She pointed out that buyers want as close to new as possible, didn’t she? Now you’re seeing your home through the buyer’s eyes and their offer.

The support for the buyer’s side is that others saw your home and didn’t like it well enough to make an offer. You have to accept that condition is a bigger factor than you thought it would be.

Think about how you’ll feel when you become the buyer. Would you pay full asking price for a home that needs work if there are others in better condition?

Set your pride aside and rework the numbers to something that’s fair to you and the buyers. When they see you’re making the effort, they’ll either improve their offer or accept your counteroffer.

Keep your eye on the prize – getting your home sold, not beating the buyer.

IS AN ANTIQUE HOME RIGHT FOR YOU?

Charm. Grace. Nostalgia. Recollections of a more refined and genteel era. These may be the thoughts that come to mind when you think about purchasing an old home. Perhaps you’ve set your sights on such a property already, drawn in by the For Sale sign as you drive by and captivated by the possibilities of living in a home that is anything but “cookie cutter.”

Whether it’s a fully-restored Victorian, a centuries-old farmhouse, or a fixer-upper Colonial, older homes differ significantly from more recently homes built in compliance with modern residential plumbing, heating, and electrical codes. However, if you don’t mind calling a plumber for maintenance and a bit quirk, an antique home might be just what you’re looking for. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you make the decision to purchase an older home:

  • ·         What kind of storage space do I need?

Older homes may have smaller closets, but perhaps a giant walk-up attic is calling your name.

  • What about low ceilings?

Some homebuyers might be put off by having to duck under low doorways or when traversing stairways, while others will consider lower ceilings to be “cozy.”

  • Can I re-purpose spaces that haven’t been previously updated? What are the rules in my town in terms of remodeling older homes? Will I have to make changes to comply with current building codes?

If you’re considering an older home, you must be prepared for a small project mushrooming into something much larger if house-wide systems need to be updated.

  •   Are there historic considerations to uphold? What does it mean for me if my new home is recognized as a historic landmark?

If your home is on a historic roster, there may be limitations in terms of altering the building’s footprint or even changing the exterior paint color, which could put a crimp in your redecorating plans.

  • How much maintenance am I prepared to deal with? Do I have the resources to stay on top of general upkeep?

If you don’t consider yourself particularly handy, you’ll want to have connections to reputable contractors like this Greeneville TN Plumber who can do necessary work for you. You might also need a few new things to get started, like a heating system installation for example.

  • If problems arise, do I have the necessary financial cushion to address large-scale structural problems?

When buying an older home, budgeting for the unexpected is a must.

  • If I’m updating fixtures, must I look for antique fixtures, or am I willing to settle for an “old look” from a modern supplier like Restoration Hardware?

If you’re a purist, you’ll want to be prepared to search high and low for original fixtures.

  • How much do I know or can I find out about what has happened to the home – and in the home – before I decide to move in?

Old homes have long histories, sometimes fascinating and storied, and sometimes unpleasant. Learning whether a house has had extensive damage somewhere along the line might benefit you if there are any long-lasting structural or systemic consequences.

  • ·         Is the home updated with insulation, heating systems, new windows, and other energy-efficient conveniences?

If you’re accustomed to living in comfort, you may have to adjust your outlook when buying a rambling old home prone to drafts or lacking air conditioning.

  • ·         If the electrical system is original, will it support the installation of new appliances?

Original, ungrounded wiring from the early twentieth century may not have the capacity to power today’s modern appliances, calling for a major overhaul in the home’s electrical systems. For this, you need to hire professionals like Janco Electric – Manalapan, NJ that provide electrical troubleshooting in Slatington, PA or electrical inspections in Prescott, AZ. You can also visit a helpful site, such as https://suburbanenterprises.com/, to learn more about their services.

Buying an older home comes down to a matter of taste, commitment, and finances. Some people are ideally suited to the minor inconveniences and unmatched charm of living in an antique home, while others appreciate convenience above all else and would be hard pressed to constantly manage the unexpected. Talk to your real estate agent about the real benefits and drawbacks of owning an older home. He or she can guide you in making an informed decision before making an offer.

10 U.S. CITIES TO REDUCE ENERGY WASTE WITH GREEN BUILDINGS: THE CITY ENERGY PROJECT

10 U.S. CITIES TO REDUCE ENERGY WASTE WITH GREEN BUILDINGS: THE CITY ENERGY PROJECT

10 U.S. cities are stepping up to reduce energy waste by promoting green building designs and energy-efficient practices.

Residential and commercial buildings are the single largest user of energy in the United States, consuming 40% of total energy use. Total energy use can soar to as high at 75% in major cities.

The City Energy Project is a joint project with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Institute for Market Transformation (IMT) to help “create healthier and more prosperous American cities by improving the energy efficiency of buildings.”  

Participating cites will work with the NRDC and the IMT to build energy-efficient buildings and upgrade existing ones.

The project is funded by former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s foundation and other charitable groups. NRDC estimates the proposed emission reductions would compare to removing over 1 million cars off the road and save home and business owners over $1 billion over a year.

Here is the list of the 10 City Energy Project cities and the mayors leading the way:

  1. Atlanta: Mayor Kasim Reed
  2. Boston: Mayor Martin J. Walsh
  3. Chicago: Mayor Rahm Emanuel
  4. Denver: Mayor Michael B. Hancock
  5. Houston: Mayor Annise Parker
  6. Kansas City, MO: Mayor Sly James
  7. Los Angeles: Mayor Eric Garcetti
  8. Orlando: Mayor Buddy Dyer
  9. Philadelphia: Mayor Michael A. Nutter
  10. Salt Lake City: Mayor Ralph Becker

THE GREAT OPEN HOUSE DEBATE

THE GREAT OPEN HOUSE DEBATE

Written by 

With the spring real estate market just around the corner, more homeowners are thinking about putting their homes up for sale. And with a potential influx of new properties hitting the market, it’s an important time to think about how you can make your home stand out from the rest.

There is an ongoing discussion of whether it benefits a seller to hold an open house. These days, virtual open houses are the norm, with real estate websites featuring virtual tours that give a more nuanced and dimensional view of a home for sale without the effort of heading out to every property that shows promise. Some agents feel that this technology is replacing the need for actual feet-on-the-ground open house visits.

Other arguments against holding an open house include the arrival of nosy neighbors to go through your home when you’re not there (but does that really matter if you’re moving away?) and worries about security. The quick fix for security concernsis to remove all items of value (both financial and sentimental) from the property before the open house. These concerns aside, many agents feel there are very few drawbacks to staging an open house. In fact, there are quite a few reasons that an open house might be a good option for you when you list your home for sale. Here are four:

Exposure. Even a casual or unmotivated prospective buyer can drop by an open house without having to go to the effort of booking a showing. A quick walk through of your home might pique an interest for further visits in the future. Additionally, open houses receive added attention via signage and classified or Internet ads. More eyes on your home could translate into an offer.

Convenience. With an open house, you get to decide on timing, meaning that in contrast to the tedious daily effort of keeping your home “show ready,” you can have it looking exactly the way you want prospective buyers to see it. You can add in fresh flowers, cookies straight from the oven, and other small touches that are harder to pull off on a daily basis when you’re not sure whether to expect a showing. Your house will come off feeling like a true home.

Comparison. On any given weekend, prospective buyers will likely have a number of different open houses they can visit in your community or area. Being able to compare yours directly to others may give you a slight edge over the competition – particularly if a buyer is motivated to make an offer and get into a new home quickly.

“The Lock. For a buyer who is already interested, holding an open house might just be the tipping point on the road to an offer. An open house gives an interested party the opportunity to check out the house more thoroughly and without feeling rushed, even if they’ve already had a private showing. A prospective buyer might even bring friends or family along to get an opinion about the house. And that could be just the nudge a potential buyer needs to take the plunge and make an offer.

SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS FOR YOUR CONDO UNIT

SAFETY AND SECURITY TIPS FOR YOUR CONDO UNIT

Written by 

Condominium buildings are becoming the preferred residences of a lot of people especially for those who would like to reside near commercial and business areas. Despite the many benefits of living in a condominium building, there are some precautions that you have to take when you decide to live in one.

Some may think that living in a Philippine condo unit is relatively safe and secure especially with the number of neighbors, security, and staff in the building. However, there are still safety and security risks no matter where you live. Below are some tips to help you make living in your condo unit safer and more secure.

  • Get to know other residents. This may seem difficult for those who prefer not to meet and mingle with other residents of thecondominium building, but this is not for social reasons. Your only goal is to know the faces and some of the names of the other residents. Not because you want to start hanging out with them, but because it pays to know whether someone loitering around the condo is a resident or not.
  • Choose a main door that has a peephole. Do not open your door to strangers no matter how they introduce themselves. The important thing is to look and see who is at the door before opening it, which is the exact purpose of a peephole. If the door to your condo unit right now has no peephole, it is worth thinking about investing on a door that has one.
  • Lock your doors. Whether you have a condo in Mandaluyong, Makati, or anywhere else, always make sure to lock your doors at all times. If a locked door cannot prevent criminals or burglars away, so much more if it’s an unlocked door.
  • Know where the exit is. No matter where you are in the building,  always make it a habit to know where the emergency exits are. This can save your life if a fire occurs or an earthquake happens. Always orient yourself on where the nearest emergency exits are. Having a plan in place can help you stay safe and protect your property. For helpful tips, you can visit DuraBarrier USA to know about thier services.
  •  Install smoke alarms. Although this might not seem necessary for some condo residents, it’s a good way to increase fire safety in your unit. If a fire starts inside your unit, it might be difficult for the building staff to know about it. A smoke alarm will not only useful for you but also for your nearest neighbors.

Boulder Beer: Sanitas Brewing on the Right Side of the Tracks

Boulder Beer: Sanitas Brewing on the Right Side of the Tracks

sanitas_patio2

Open since September 2013, it’s obvious that Sanitas Brewing has already established a following. The folks you see hanging out in their Boulder taproom include beer geeks bellied up to the bar, groups of friends gathered at large tables and families with kids running around. And it’s easy to see why people enjoy Sanitas. There are games, friendly bartenders and delicious beers…what more could you want from the Boulder beer scene?

And it’s no secret – there’s no shortage of great Boulder beer. Let’s talk about what makes Sanitas special, though. The Black IPA is one of the flagship beers featured at Sanitas Brewing. It’s dark in color, loaded with piney hops and delicious. Additionally, the Sanitas Saison is an easy-drinking farmhouse ale, available year-round both in cans and on draft. The taproom also had three other Sanitas brews on tap during a recent visit, with those draft options depending on what seasonal beers the brewers have created.

sanitas_brewroom2

Sanitas has a polished industrial feeling to it. With communal wood tables and a wall of garage door windows, the place is warmer than one would expect from the office complex setting. The natural light that floods in courtesy the large windows make for a sunny and intimate view of the railroad tracks. In addition to the barroom, there’s also a conference room that’s available for rental by large groups. A $100 deposit (that goes toward the purchase of beer) is required to reserve the room.

When it comes to outdoor entertainment, Sanitas has you covered. There’s a regulation-size Bocce court out back and ample room on the large patio for other impromptu drinking games. Sanitas Brewing, fittingly enough, offers a nice view of Mount Sanitas and even closer, the railroad tracks that are right next to the brewery. Word is that when a train passes, you get a $1 off your pints. Unfortunately, they don’t know when trains will pass and somedays you have 20 going by while other days don’t see any. The brewery suffered slight damage from the flood and has more extensive landscaping planned for the upcoming summer.

Although the brewery doesn’t have a kitchen serving food, they do have a dedicated food truck in McDevitt Taco Supply. Tacos are sold daily and you can find out specific details on the Sanitas Brewing Facebook page or by following them on Twitter.
