The Top 15 Home Stories of 2017
The most popular home features of the past year
Another year has flown by!
With the record warm winter Colorado has had in 2017, it almost doesn’t feel like we’re nearing December 31st—but alas, with another 12 months, eight issues and load of online stories under our belt, we’re ready to bring you a recap of your favorite stories this year.
The most popular 100 articles published on Colorado Homes & Lifestyles in 2017 range from lifestyle stories—like the articles on the six must-visit shops in Stanley Marketplace and the brand new Elizabeth Hotel in Fort Collins—to announcements of our exclusive design awards—like the 2017 Circle of Excellence, Five Under 40, and inaugural FABULOUS List winners. But at the end of the day, we want to bring the focus home, on drop-dead gorgeous, high-end home design.
It is from our homes that we then go out and explore the sites, shops and beauty Colorado has to offer, as well as pursue the leading-edge design pros who can make our homes and lives even more enjoyable. So with this in mind, we present the most popular home features published in 2017, from the Home of the Year to celebrity retreats, and everything in between.
Let the countdown begin!
