{extended} ]]>We asked Heidi, a Boutique Apartments resident who lives in a studio at H2O, and whose 350 s.f. apartment is up for voting in Apartment Therapy’s “Room for Color” contest, and here are her responses:
How long have you lived in your Boutique Apartment, and where did you move from?
I moved from Denver to New York in April 2011. I had worked in the snowboard industry for years on the East Coast, and it was always a dream to make it out west. So, I packed my Subaru, and did it.
More specifically I moved to Boutique Apartment’s H2O because of the aesthetics and neighborhood. And, why wouldn’t you want sea monkeys in the laundry room?!
What do you do for a living?
Right now I work from home, running 2 vintage Etsy shops, and I just signed on with SEE Eyewear for some part time showroom work.
What was the biggest challenge with furnishing your studio apartment?
Budget. Mostly because I have a storage unit in New York filled with furniture, and didn’t want to worry about buying and then moving expensive pieces from out here back home one day.
Where do you shop for furnishings?
I go on the road 1-2 days a week, buying for my Etsy shop, so most of my furnishings have come from second hand and thrift stores. Oh, and let’s get real. I was definitely at IKEA the first week it opened.
What tips can you offer for residents looking to furnish their apartments on a budget?
Patience. I feel like too often people think they need to fill the whole space as soon as they move in. I find it’s much better to let it evolve and find pieces one by one that fit each other.
Any specific interior design tips?
Pull tear sheets from magazines of rooms you like, and use them for reference. Or digitally reference online shelter mags.
Are there benefits you’ve discovered of living in a small apartment?
I’ve actually lived in a studio that was smaller than this one before. I think it’s always refreshing to realize how how little you need to live comfortably!
Thanks, Heidi, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves. You can check out Heidi’s stellar fashion sense in her entry in the Room for Color contest, and at her vintage Etsy shop.
And as a special Halloween treat, if you can identify Travis’ costume (there’s a clue in this post), and apply today (October 31), we’ll waive your application fee.
We’ve even put a handy-dandy form online for your convenience. Refer a friend here.
If you have questions, feel free to give our office a call at 303-333-3773.

{extended} ]]>Today we said goodbye to about 350 gallons of old paint, accumulated throughout the years at different Boutique Apartments buildings, and wished it well on its journey to become new paint, courtesy of Justin and Kyle of Mix Paints.
Mix Paints is Denver’s first paint recycling company and is a great option for anyone including residents, contractors, businesses and organizations. They’ll take your latex paint in good condition and through an intensive mixing and filtering process, turn it into “post-consumer latex paint,” called Spectrum PCL. Spectrum PCL is formulated for interior and exterior use, is available in 64 designer colors, and is easy on the environment. The experts at Mix Paints can also custom-match just about any color or sheen.
Every day hundreds of thousands of people throw away unused paint, which ends up in landfills, or worse, poured down the drain and into our water. Mix Paints is dedicated to closing the loop by working with the community and creating an outlet for people to responsibly dispose of unused paint, while providing a valuable product.
Boutique Apartments is grateful for Mix Paints’ dedication and service. Not only did it free up a bunch of our storage space, but we can sleep better knowing that our paint is being recycled and not going to the landfill.
If you want to recycle your unused paint, buy affordable paint, or even hire a painter, contact Justin or Kyle at Mix Paints.

We currently get all the electricity used in the common areas of the Boutique Apartment buildings from wind power, instead of from coal. But if you’re a BA resident currently paying an electric bill directly to Xcel Energy, why not consider helping us reach our goal of being 100% wind-powered, by having your apartment’s electricity come from wind? It’s easy, the cost is minimal, and the benefits are astounding.
Based on EPA Power Profiler statistics, buying one 100 kWh block of Windsource for a year has the following environmental benefits:
Carbon dioxide avoided: 2,449 lbs.
Miles not driven: 2,400
Trees planted: 1/3 acre
You can sign up easily online at Xcel’s web site, or contact our main office at 303.333.3773 for more information. Qualification may vary from building to building.
