Some art brushes the soul and electrifies the senses. Such is the power of a fine musical instrument. Michael Bashkin elevates this art form, blending exotic African and South American woods with extraordinary craftsmanship to create the graceful contours and lovely voice of his handmade acoustic guitars. 

There’s just no feeling in the world like playing a Bashkin guitar. The instrument comes alive in your hands. It is amazingly responsive, balanced, a dream to play, and designed to faithfully express the personality of its owner. Michael works with each new owner to choose every component, select the right wood, and refine every detail of design to match the owner’s playing style perfectly.

Michael Bashkin has become a nationally respected guitar builder because his instruments are stunning in every sense – to touch, to play, to hear, and to see. Even if you’ve never played a guitar in your life, you’ll appreciate the awesome beauty of these instruments.

In 1983, Castle Pines was a sleepy enclave a long way from Denver. Today it’s one of the most exclusive areas in the south Denver growth corridor, due in part to the work of Curly Risheill. 

His company has built some of the most magnificent homes in Castle Pines, including a recently finished 7,070-square-foot, four-bedroom, seven-bath masterpiece at 1049 Night Sky Court in Castle Pines Village. This faithfully executed Prairie-style ranch with a lower-level walkout offers sweeping, panoramic mountain views through a wall of windows at the rear of the home. With its graceful stone columns, soaring ceilings, see-through fireplace, gourmet kitchen, sumptuous master suite, expansive recreation room and intricate woodwork throughout, it’s a masterful example of the kind of work Risheill Homes has been doing for 30 years. 

Risheill Homes is a three-time recipient of the prestigious MAME Award for “Best Custom Home” from the Denver Home Builders Association. The company’s success can be traced directly to Curly Risheill’s hands-on involvement with the homeowner, architect, designer and subcontractors on every project. The results speak for themselves. 

The home on Night Sky Court, pictured at lower right, is available for purchase. To schedule a showing or to discuss your next project, call Curly Risheill at (303) 520-6766 or (303) 663-0593.
 

The work of Craftsmen Builders is often invisible. It’s the hallmark of a gifted design team--and a sure sign of a great design/build company.
 
A Craftsmen home, whether a remodel or new build, is designed to blend in while standing out. It's an art that founder Steve Josephs has mastered. Craftsmen homes merge state-of-the-art construction techniques and materials with historic architectural styles and elevations. The finished result is a home that fits in--that looks and feels like original construction, and is perfectly designed for its neighborhood, its era and its owner.
 
The same balanced aesthetic is found in Craftsmen interiors. Woodwork and built-ins are classically styled and beautifully finished. Carpentry is meticulous and detailed. Floorplans are designed to capture the owners’ wishes while using every available square foot. The latest technologies are integrated throughout.

A Craftsmen home is more than a house, more than a great investment. It’s a legacy that can be lived in. Give them a call at (970) 416-9300.
 

Sometimes the most striking feature of a home is beneath your feet. B. Linnertz creates beautiful spaces from the ground up, using creative combinations of real hardwoods to create floors, entryways, stairs, borders, inlays and more. One of the company's specialties involves a unique steaming and bending technique to transform hardwoods into distinctive, curvilinear forms. To B. Linnertz, it's "More Than Just A Floor." It's the centerpiece of a fine home.
