from now until June 1st at the Aurora History Museum 

“On display will be examples of how the Art Deco style was utilized in building design, furniture, domestic pieces, radios, lighting, kitchen appliances, jewelry, and much more.”

I have not been to the exhibit yet, but I understand it includes a Fiestaware display and admission is FREE!

The building pictured is “Buerger Brothers” at 17th & Champa. Designed by architect Montana S. Fallis in 1929, it is considered one of Denver’s best examples of Art Deco design.

Very cool Ikea kitchen page

Wow! This has nothing to do with Denver except that I really wish we had an Ikea here. Check out this web page on Ikea kitchens. It may take a while to load, but it’s worth it.

Hat tip to my friend Lani Anglin in Austin for finding this.
