Two and a half years ago we purchased a 1964 James Ream mid-century home that we had been dreaming about for over ten years. We knew it was a pit stop along the way but it was one of those things in life that doesn’t make sense on paper, only in your heart and you can’t let it pass without a wholehearted yes!

After the purchase of the mid-century home, we listed our gorgeous home and studio in the country and went through the roller coaster ride of showings, the home under contract multiple times, missed closing dates, maintaining the property while not living there, taking it off the market, putting it back on the market, travel/teaching etc. We took it off the market December of 2025 and we were not sure when we would even re-list it.

In December of 2025 our youngest, Benjamin, was offered a job in Nashville. We had planned on all moving there in about 2 years to join Madolyn and Jack who were already there. Once we helped Ben move and then all celebrated Christmas together in Tennessee, Kelly and I drove back to Colorado sans any children and we knew the timeline for our pit stop was getting shorter by the minute.

We called a realtor the end of February and asked if they thought they could sell our mid-century before we left for a 3-month trip overseas on April 7^th.  So, while we drove back to Tennessee to teach two back-to-back workshops in March, our realtor was photographing and filming our home. It was officially on the market as we were driving home (even with showings and an offer before the listing went live). We didn’t take the first offer but we were officially under contract after a few days with a 2-week closing.

At the same time, we put our country property back on the market with the goal of being under contract before we drove to Nashville and got on a flight to Europe. The mid-century officially closed on April 6^th and we got on a plane on April 7^th. The country home and studio officially closed two weeks later.

Very long story as short as possible, we have sold both of our Colorado properties three months ago and we are currently homeless, we have been teaching and traveling the past three months, all of our belongs are currently in pods waiting for instructions and when we land in the US in less than a week we will be calling Nashville home. We will now be splitting our time between Nashville and Italy. Lucky for a us we are staying at a friend’s home all of July while she is traveling and we begin our house search.

Two and half years ago everyone was guessing where we were moving before we told you we were staying in the same town and had purchased the mid-century. All of your guesses were correct though. Everyone guessed Nashville to be near the kids and our beloved Bellagio. So, after our sweetest of pit stops, we will be splitting our days between Tennessee and Italy. We are not sure how it will all look. We don’t know if we will buy a small place in each or rent in one and buy in the other. Our hearts and hands are wide open. The sacrifices have been mighty but the payoff to be with those we love above all else is the best feeling in the world. I teach others to get clear in each area of their life how they want their life to look and feel. Sometimes that looks like selling dream properties and selling most of your furniture so you can have family dinners any night of the week. What are dream properties without our dream family!

You may be asking…

Are you nervous? Absolutely!

How does it feel to start over after over 25 years in Colorado? Exciting and scary!

Will we miss Colorado? Yes, but we will be back often and the mountains can’t keep us away.

What are you excited about? Easy! Being close to the kids, an incredible creative community, being closer to NYC, driving distance to the ocean, the ability to grow anything, time with friends we love deeply, and living where we can walk and ride our bikes instead of getting in a car to live our day to day life.
