Carve out a fun and colorful corner in your Breckenridge, Colorado home for you, your children, and your inner child. City folk cherish family vacations in the seclusion of rural Summit and Park County real estate, far from the bright lights and bustle. They seem to gravitate to the elegant but rustic Decor that is prevalent in Breckenridge real estate, log homes in Keystone CO, and the ranch areas around Fairplay and Alma in Park County’s rural expanses.
Try transforming a little niche of your Breckenridge CO real estate into a colorful, playful spot where your family can burst with imagination. Who says that our Rocky Mountain real estate near Breckenridge must be so earth-earthy? Yes, we love our large “tree housesâ€, huge rock fireplaces, natural wood floors and finishes, and lots of green plants. Although the woods are rich arenas of browns and greens, what color are the wildflowers and the skies at sunset? Who says that periwinkle and coral are not “natural†or “rusticâ€? Purple is the color of imagination! Here are some percolating ideas to consider:
a.  Have fun in your home office by creating a space for brainstorming. Pick up some purple-hued Rust-Oleum Dry Erase Paint and turn a door, wall, or cabinet into a writable/erasable surface. Add a chalkboard trough and brightly colored dry-erase markers and Well a!—your creative juices can be caught whenever they start flowing. Add a bright-colored leather Ekornes chair, joyful artwork, and a big exercise ball to sit on at the desk—and super-energize your work space.
b.  For the kids, how about a writable-erasable chalkboard? Try Rust-Oleum’s Chalkboard Tint Base Paint in one of 12 colors and paint a bedroom wall floor to ceiling or in a window-sized area. Paint a contrasting border using the same kind of paint. Add the trough, erasers, and colored chalk. For another vantage, use a large tabletop (or buy a smooth door) and add short legs for the younger children.
c.  Like magnets? How about using Rust-Oleum’s Specialty Magnetic Primer as a base coat for your brightly colored paint. It turns most surfaces into a magnet board for hanging notes, thoughts, floor plans, lessons.
Children, grandchildren, neighborhood children, and even adults are relaxed when they have a spot that breaks all of the sophisticated rules of decorating.

And that takes us back to the wilderness, nature, and the unique real-estate investment opportunities in our mountain village.
