AND DOVE INTO A HOT TOPIC THAT’S BEEN BUZZING AROUND THE NEWS

Michael Rainero | michael.rainero@lifestylepubs.com

— THE FUTURE OF RETAIL. When corporate giants like Sears, Macy’s and J.C. Penney continue to shut down stores — and other staples like Toys “R” Us no longer exist — it made us question how the Denver retail game is reinventing itself. Besides the struggle big corporate entities are experiencing, more importantly, how will the small shops we love compete with online giants (*cough* Amazon)? What we found was ingenuity, and one of the most innovative approaches we heard about is from Guest House Founder Alex Ryden. He’s not playing by the rules of a normal retail experience. Ryden has combined available real estate with local makers furniture and goods to create shoppable homes. We also met with Becky Miller of Modern Nomad, who has also created a design shopping mecca in RiNo. Both of these retail reinventors have a similar goal in mind — supporting local small businesses and makers.

MODERN NOMAD:

THE BIRTH OF A DESIGN MECCA HOW BECKY MILLER'S DESIGN COLLECTIVE IS CHANGING THE WAY DENVER SHOPS. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS, DENVER’S RINO DISTRICT HAS BEEN ON FIRE, AND FROM THE BLAZE, A UNIQUE NEW CULTURE HAS BEGUN TO TAKE SHAPE. Taking its place within this creative revival, nestled among RiNo’s bevy of distinctive new eateries, galleries and hot spots, is Becky Miller’s Design Collective, Modern Nomad. Modern Nomad is redefining the shopping experience, bringing together a carefully curated collection of unique shops that function, “like a three-dimensional living magazine with retailers displaying their product cohesively in an open-air market.” The term “modern nomad,” Miller explains, comes from the intersection between her lust for traveling and her love of coming home. Miller’s fiery passion of exploring was stoked as a child going on trips with her family, but alongside this passion grew an affinity for home, which Miller translated into a successful decades-long real estate career, and then, more recently, a thriving interior design business: Modern Nomad Design. Even as her businesses flourished, Miller harbored a dream to expand the brand in an entirely new direction; to create a design mecca where people could come to feel inspired and to discover one-of-a-kind pieces from around the globe. In the fall of 2017, Miller’s chance to bring her dream to life suddenly arrived: a piece of real estate she and her partners had long owned and leased out — a 5,500 square foot warehouse in Denver’s rapidly up-and-coming RiNo district — became available, and Miller decided the time had come to put the building to her own use. Inspired by ABC Carpet & Home, a famous New York City home warehouse, Miller transformed her space into an incredible design collective that boasts “new and vintage furniture, textiles, lighting, rugs and accessories for the home.” Handpicked to feature “the latest in art and design, with an emphasis on supporting local businesses,” says Miller. Modern Nomad currently features five vendors: Mod Livin’, La Lovely Vintage, Homefill, Ora et Labora and Miller’s home design store, Modern Nomad Home. Miller’s goal is to lock down a core group of long-term tenants and complement them with a consistent rotation of pop-up shops that move in and out of space, keeping the shopping experience perpetually new and unique. Miller describes Modern Nomad’s collective style as an intersection of modern design and global decor, with each business imbuing the space with a highly unique style, even as they create a stunningly cohesive whole.

Beyond her pursuit of providing Denver with a new way to access decor and design, Miller’s underlying goal is to help small business owners grow and thrive. For those that don’t have the presence or the money to afford a long-term lease, Modern Nomad provides the opportunity for shops to get the exposure they need to make a true start. Though brand new to the Denver shopping scene, Miller and Modern Nomad are already making an undeniable impact, shaking up Denver’s shopping scene and capturing the attention of design aficionados across the country — all while pushing hard to put down firm roots in their local community and help other small businesses do the same. Though Modern Nomad’s journey has just begun, their future — and that of Denver’s revamped retail culture — is unquestionably bright.

Great Family Reunion BEYOND A WEDDING BAND

GREAT FAMILY REUNION (GFR) IS A MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT AGENCY BASED OUT OF BOTH DENVER AND NEW YORK CITY THAT PROVIDES PERSONABLE, COMPREHENSIVE AND TOP-NOTCH MUSICAL EXPERIENCES FOR GATHERINGS AND EVENTS. Reaching far beyond the limits of the standard “wedding band,” GFR is a collective of world-class musicians, many of whom continue to perform around the world. Jordan Linit and Jonathan Huvard, the founders and owners of GFR, met while they were in college and have been playing music together ever since. Both Huvard and Linit were members of different touring bands. The two bands met through Linit’s manager and, as Linit explains, “what started as a college hang turned into an amazing lifelong friendship.” When their fans would get married, Huvard and Linit were frequently asked to play weddings. “After playing with a number of local wedding bands, we realized we could provide a much-needed, superior service” Linit explains. “We discovered our tour-tested musicians knew how to deliver a much higher quality product than what’s typically available for pri-

Home on the Range IF YOU’VE EVER DREAMT OF STEPPING INTO WESTWORLD AND LIVING THE COWBOY DREAM, IT’S CLOSER THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. But rest assured, it’s not all whiskey and wranglin’ – you’ve got to take modern conservation and ecology practices by the reigns and get a taste of true grit to earn your spurs. It’s a concept called ecotourism: or in other words, vacation with a purpose. At Ranchlands Camp, you’re invited to join in gathering a pasture, moving a herd, branding and helping in the leather room — a rare opportunity to go beyond being merely an observer of real-life ranching and make an impact. Set on the vast prairie just south of Colorado Springs on the 87,000-acre Chico Basin Ranch, Ranchlands prides itself as an economically self-sufficient, agricultural-based business. It uses its livestock as a tool for manipulating the land to achieve biodiversity, management of invasive plant species, and restored riparian areas. While they recognize that this way of life is important in our nation’s cultural history, they believe that embracing new ways of thinking is a kind of duty – after all, preserving the land and preserving the American legacy is one and the same. When Ranchlands Camp opened its gates to visitors in 2017, it was never a question that this commitment to sustainability would be sacrificed. Instead, they would apply it to the typical camping experience and make it something entirely its own. With a mission to work together to live with the land, folks not only experience the beauty and simplicity that is nostalgic of the Old West, they learn about nature, ranching and the role they play in protecting the ecosystem. Picture this: you rise on a cool morning among sagebrush and vibrant wildflowers, and a hearty, wood-fired meal awaits.

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | September 2018

You fill up on fried eggs, blueberry cornmeal pancakes, granola and yogurt, and bison-potato hash; and devour a book from the ranch library. As camp host Kate Matheson, head wrangler Frankie Zwick, and camp cook Colby Richards show you the ropes of camp life, antelope stream across the plains, while cattle and their young calves graze nearby. A little exploration leads you to the leather shop, where you find Madi Hester and learn to make your own goods. Jill Soukup is nearby teaching horse painting and Cam Schryver, the World Champion cowboy, guides students through proper horsemanship. Learning and leisure carefully blend together: the sound of collective clamor harmonizes with coyotes howling on the arroyos. In the evening, you enjoy a hot outdoor shower just twenty steps from your tent, wash away the dust from a long day on the ranch, and gather ‘round the campfire for live music, where the sun dips behind Pike’s Peak. You fall asleep under the stars. A kerosene lamp flickers against the canvas tent. You’re exhausted but satisfied. Some describe this feeling like joy, others as fulfillment. Being a steward of the environment: it takes you beyond the appreciation of its visual beauty. That's because out here; you’re connected to your surroundings.

MAKE YOURSELF AT HOME ARTICLE MARLEY JERANKO | PHOTOGRAPHY KYLIE FITTS

WHAT IF SHOPPING FOR HANDMADE HOME GOODS WAS AS SIMPLE AS HANGING OUT AT YOUR NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE?

NOT TO NAME NAMES, BUT A CERTAIN HOME GOODS SUPERSTORE SURE HAS PUT US ALL THROUGH SOME TROUBLE. You know what I’m talking about: hours roaming through a cold warehouse followed by even more hours of frustration and little plastic pieces scattered across the floor — and for what? To have that chair or table or bookshelf break in a year or two? No more… “You don’t have to play by the rules of a normal retail experience — you can feel at home,” says Alex Ryden, founder of Guest House.

At the time, Age Carriers pined to simplify the way their products were sold. “It was a grind working with a lot of retailers,” Ryden remembers. “So, we decided to take everything in-house and sell our bags ourselves.” Now, when he says, “in-house,” he means it. The entire downstairs of his Denver home turned into a storefront. Ryden explains, “I always wanted to create something that was approachable, and what’s more approachable than a house?”

As the first company to connect shoppers, makers, interior

Denver with local makers — including a $1.4 million apartment at the Four Seasons — and bringing on the interior designer Anna Smith (@annabode) as Head of Interiors to mastermind the aesthetic of the spaces. Together, they're creating shoppable homes. When you visit a Guest House, everything that’s staged in the home is for sale, and you can shop every Friday and Saturday until the home sells. Visitors are not only invited to touch, feel and see how furniture, art and goods would fit into the larger picture of a modern home; they can discover makers’ stories and take home a piece of the community that lives in the fibers of every item. “At the heart of ‘locally made’ is community,” Ryden states pridefully. “The idea of being able to furnish your home with products that were made in your neighborhood or in your backyard — I think that’s one of the coolest things you can do.” After all, being a good neighbor means taking care of one another. So, next time you have the choice between the nearby furniture megastore and the house up the street, maybe you’ll lean on your neighbor instead. They’re counting on you, too. Guest House will open the doors to their next shoppable home in Denver from September 21-23.

“Since I started my business, I struggled to find a high-value environment to present my work while allowing clients to interact with my pieces. The opportunity Guest House provided could not have addressed my direct needs better. The staging is perfect, and the COMPLEMENT of local products as complete and inclusive environments represents the exact goals and direction of my brand.” -Nick Shigouri, Shigouri Furniture

“Guest House has provided me with a great way to connect to new collectors, designers and artists in Denver all while having my work styled, staged and for sale in a beautifully curated space. I am honored to have my art hang alongside an amazing selection of other talented local makers in this innovative and immersive shopping experience.” -Kristen Abbott, Kristen Abbott Art

“The Guest House concept is an interesting way to enable discovery and purchase products in-person without sales pressure. Ideas like this are becoming more important as the nature of physical retail is going through fundamental changes.” -Scott Bennett, Housefish

Cherry Creek Lifestyle | September 2018

“Guest House is a really clever and well-orchestrated model that benefits realtors, homeowners, home buyers and designers alike by creating community around beautiful, locally-crafted home furnishings. Not only has it stirred up new sales and overall interest in our products, but it’s also allowed us to connect with other designers and artists in the Denver area. We’ve had numerous collaborations stem out of our involvement thus far and are excited to see how it will grow and evolve.” -Trystin Sova, q|co design

Ann Klein, co-owner of SmithKlein Gallery in Boulder where Pratt shows some of her work, describes the paintings as having a quiet but powerful emotion to them. “SmithKlein Gallery is moving toward more modern, contemporary styles, and her paintings are a beautiful bridge to that,” says Klein. “They still have identifiable objects, and the abstract palette knife work and colors that many people are using in interiors make them resonate with a lot of clients.” We recently chatted with Pratt to learn a bit more:

Yikes. “Bringing your own reusable bag is way better than getting a fresh paper or plastic bag every time you go to the grocery store, but just how beneficial depends on how many times you use it. The more your reusable bag goes to the store with you, the more you save on natural resources — petroleum, trees, water — and the lower your carbon footprint,” says Harlin Savage, communication director at Eco-Cycle. If you live in Boulder, you’re likely already toting around a reusable bag. After the city initiated a ten cents disposable bag charge roughly five years ago, there was a notable drop in usage within the first six months— 68%! “What your reusable bag is made of is also important. We recommend buying one made with recycled materials for added benefit. You can also make your own bags, which has the added benefit of saving you money,” says Savage. 64
