For Joe and Maggie Oestereicher, building a business was never just about tile, stone, or cabinetry-it was about building something lasting, with heart. When union construction work in Colorado began to dry up in the late 1980s, Joe and Maggie decided to take a leap. Armed with Joe’s expert tile training and Maggie’s architectural education, the couple launched what would become one of the region’s most trusted names in remodeling: Heritage Kitchen & Bath.

Established in 1987 as Heritage Tile, focused solely on tile and stonework, has grown into a full-service luxury remodeling company-one that integrates thoughtful design, top-tier craftsmanship, and a uniquely personal touch. “Over the years, the types of projects we were getting naturally expanded,” Maggie explains. “So we rebranded to reflect who we had really become-a company that transforms kitchens and bathrooms from start to finish.”

Design That’s Personal-and Practical

At the heart of Heritage Kitchen & Bath’s success is a design philosophy that prioritizes how people actually live. “Form and function should serve each other,” says Maggie. “Our goal is always to create something beautiful, but also deeply useful-something that feels like it was made just for that client and how their family uses the space.” This balance is why Heritage specializes in kitchens: the emotional and functional core of most homes. “We love how a kitchen can bring a family together,” Maggie says. “It’s not just for cooking anymore- it’s where life happens.”

A Recent Project with Heart

One standout project involved a family whose home was lost in the Marshall Fire in 2001. Rather than rebuild, they purchased an existing home on the Coal Creek golf course and brought Heritage in to completely rethink and remodel the kitchen and mudroom. “It was such an emotional journey for them,” Maggie shares. “They were upbeat, full of hope- they just wanted to create a home again.” Heritage completely transformed a dated 1980s kitchen and oversized pantry into an open-concept space made for gathering, hosting, and healing. “Being able to help them start over, and create something joyful after such loss-that’s why we dowhat we do.”

The Heritage Difference

Heritage Kitchen & Bath is a family-owned business in the truest sense. “Everyone we work with shares our commitment to quality,” Maggie says. “We teach each other something new every day, and that shows in the work.” Clients additionally appreciate Heritage’s transparency and communication throughout the entire process-from the first walkthrough to the final paint touch-ups. Every detail, from precise scheduling to product sourcing, is always thoughtfully planned to reduce stress and maximize efficiency.

A Shared Standard of Excellence

The Nicholson I Baker Team has had the pleasure of working with Maggie and Joe on not one but two home transitions and the admiration is mutual. “We loved working with Elle and Christine,” says Maggie. “They have a process that mirrors ours-thoughtful, honest, and tailored to the client. They really listened to what mattered to us. They respected our design background and helped guide us to homes that reflected our style and expectations. They were patient, knowledgeable, and truly felt like partners.” It’s a relationship built on trust and mutual appreciation for craft-and it’s one that continues to grow.

Looking Ahead

As Heritage continues to evolve, Maggie dreams of taking on more historical projects-that balance modern functionality with original character. “There’s something really special about preserving the past while incorporating the conveniences of today,” she says. Whether they’re modernizing a kitchen, designing a spa-like bathroom, or restoring a historic home, Joe and Maggie remain grounded
in what started it all: a deep respect for design, a hands-on approach to quality, and a passion for helping people love where they live.

~ Heritage Kitchen & Bath

Spring is here, and it’s time to refresh your living space with a deep cleaning guide designed to make your home feel new again. If your usual cleaning routine feels repetitive, it’s time to explore unique spring cleaning tips that will not only save time but also improve efficiency.

These uncommon strategies, combined with a comprehensive spring cleaning checklist, will help you tackle every corner of your house—making your efforts intentional and rewarding. Here’s your guide to giving your home the upgrade it deserves.

Why a Spring Cleaning Checklist is Essential

Ever started cleaning one room only to end up hours later reorganizing a cluttered drawer you didn’t plan to touch? That’s where a detailed spring cleaning checklist becomes a game-changer. It ensures your cleaning session stays focused and organized, covering even the often-overlooked nooks and crannies.

A Pro Tip for Success:

Divide your work into manageable chunks—like focusing on one room or category (such as storage spaces) each week. Breaking the process into smaller tasks helps prevent burnout and guarantees consistent progress.

Tip: Check out our room-by-room spring cleaning checklist at the end of this article for a ready-to-use guide.

4 Uncommon Home Spring Cleaning Tips You Should Try

Beyond traditional tasks like vacuuming and window washing, these overlooked tips can make a huge difference in your spring cleaning routine.

1. Organize and Reuse Forgotten Decor

Revive your home by rethinking your décor. Go through those forgotten boxes of seasonal items or outdated decorations stashed in storage areas. Decide what to keep, donate, or repurpose to give your interiors a fresh look.

Tip: Rearrange or redeploy decorations to create an entirely new vibe without spending a dime. Who knows, those forgotten treasures might just become conversation starters.

2. Switch to Natural Cleaning Products

Spruce up your space while protecting the environment. Natural cleaners like white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon juice are powerful and safer alternatives to chemical-laden cleaning products.

  • Mirrors & Windows—Use a mix of vinegar and water for a streak-free shine.
  • Carpets & Mattresses—Sprinkle baking soda to neutralize odors before vacuuming.
  • General Surfaces—Lemon juice’s natural acidity works wonders on grease.

Switching to natural products isn’t just eco-friendly—it’s also budget-conscious and healthier for your household.

Tip: Research homemade cleaning recipes online to find options for your needs, and always test them on a small area before full use.

3. Declutter Hidden Storage Areas

From closets and attics to that space under the stairs, it’s time to clear out rarely accessed storage areas. Decluttering frees up more room for essentials while letting you decide what to toss, sell, or donate.

Pro-Tip: Use clear bins or labeled storage boxes to organize your new found space for easy access in the future.

4. Add Structure to Deep Cleaning Tasks

Deep cleaning your home requires focused effort, especially for larger projects like kitchens, garages, or carpets. Focus on one task or area at a time, such as sanitizing kitchen surfaces over a weekend, to prevent feeling overwhelmed.

For example:

  • Kitchens: Deep-clean appliances like ovens and microwaves.
  • Bedrooms: Rotate mattresses and vacuum underneath.
  • Outdoor Areas: Tackle grills, furniture, porches, or driveways.

Small but consistent efforts keep you on track without stress.

Natural Stone Accents for Kitchens and Bathrooms 

Quartzite-countertop-Colorado-kitchen-remodel
~ Heritage Kitchen & Bath

When it comes to modern home design, natural stone accents are stealing the spotlight in 2025. From their timeless beauty to their incredible durability, stone elements have become the go-to choice for creating kitchens and bathrooms that not only look stunning but also stand the test of time. See how these natural stone trends can elevate your home and make a bold statement.

Why Choose Natural Stone?  

Quartzite-countertop-Colorado-kitchen-remodel

Natural stone isn’t just beautiful—it’s also sustainable and versatile. It’s a renewable resource, making it a key player in sustainable home design. Beyond its eco-friendly reputation, it offers unmatched aesthetic and functional benefits. Here in the Denver-metro area, where stunning mountain views and natural elements are part of our lifestyle, incorporating stone into your home seamlessly connects your space with the beauty of your surroundings.

Quartzite Kitchen Islands  

Few materials exude elegance and resilience like quartzite. This trending stone is becoming a favorite for bold yet practical kitchen islands. Offering stunning veining patterns that mimic the look of marble (but with greater durability), quartzite can handle the daily wear and tear of a busy household while maintaining its sophisticated charm.  

Pro tip: Incorporate a waterfall edge with your quartzite island for a modern, seamless look that will wow guests.

Why It’s Trending:

  • Sleek, modern aesthetic
  • Resistant to daily wear and tear
  • Can withstand hot pots and pans.
  • Perfect for high-traffic kitchens

Ideal for Denver Homes: Quartzite blends beautifully with the earthy tones often found in Denver’s homes, creating a cohesive and stylish space.

Marble Sink Basins

When it comes to luxurious bathroom upgrades, marble is making waves—this time as a focal-point material for sink basins. These sculpted pieces scream sophistication, instantly elevating any bathroom. Best of all, they pair equally beautifully with rustic woodwork or sleek, futuristic finishes.

Pro tip: Choose a monochromatic marble basin (like black or white) for a dramatic, high-end look without overwhelming the space.

Why It’s Trending:

  • Luxurious and sculptural appeal
  • Endless pattern options  
  • Works with various design styles  

Perfect Fit for Denver: Marble basins add a touch of refinement to bathroom spaces while complementing Denverites’ taste for organic, earthy materials.

Granite Countertops, Evolved

The classic granite countertop is getting a contemporary upgrade in 2025. Homeowners are leaning toward unique colors like deep greens, blues, and rich, dramatic blacks to bring personality and boldness to their kitchens and bathrooms.  

Granite remains a top choice for its unparalleled durability, making it an excellent investment that can handle years of use.

Pro tip: Pair colored granite with matte black or brass hardware for a modern yet timeless finish.

Why It’s Trending:

  • Bold and unique color selections  
  • Affordable luxury  
  • Hard, dense natural stone that’s resistant to scratches, chips, and cracks.  
  • Low maintenance

Denver & Granite: Granite’s bold colors align with the adventurous spirit of Denver homeowners who want their interiors to stand out.

Travertine Statement Walls  

If you’re looking to make a serious statement, travertine accent walls are stepping up in 2025. This textured, earthy stone is a favorite for creating spa-like bathrooms or adding warmth to kitchens. Travertine offers a soft, neutral tone that complements bold features elsewhere in the room.

Pro tip: Travertine works wonderfully behind freestanding tubs or as a backsplash behind open shelving in the kitchen.

Why It’s Trending:

  • Earthy tones bring warmth and coziness  
  • Adds texture and visual interest  
  • Great for blending traditional and modern styles  

Denver Sustainability Factor: Travertine is locally available in many regions and minimally processed, reducing the carbon footprint of your remodel—a perfect ethos for Denver homeowners who prioritize sustainable home design.

Bringing Natural Stone Into Your Denver Home  

Natural stone is more than just a design trend—it’s a long-lasting investment in the style, sustainability, and functionality of your home. Whether you choose a bold quartzite island, elegant marble sink, or an earthy travertine wall, incorporating stone accents into your kitchen or bathroom will ensure your space is both effortlessly stylish and built to last.

Cozy Holiday Kitchen Décor Ideas 

~ Heritage Kitchen & Bath
holiday decorating trends

The holiday season is fast approaching, bringing with it gatherings, laughter, and, of course, delicious feasts prepared in the heart of every home—the kitchen. Transforming your kitchen into a cozy, inviting holiday haven is more than just a trend; it’s an opportunity to create cherished moments. With the latest interior design ideas in mind, we’ll guide you through the perfect ways to make your kitchen decor both stunning and festive this holiday season.

Overview of Interior Design Trends  

Interior design for the holiday season leans heavily into fostering comfort, sustainability, and personality. These trends emphasize natural materials, functional yet decorative elements, and timeless designs that reflect individuality. Kitchens, as the centerpiece of many homes, are no exception. From earthy palettes to sustainable solutions, the goal is to make spaces warm, welcoming, and purposeful.

By weaving in holiday-inspired touches, these broader trends can truly shine in your kitchen, ensuring it becomes the coziest gathering spot for family and friends.  

5 Trendy Holiday Kitchen Décor Ideas  

1. Warm Neutrals  

Earthy tones and natural materials are at the forefront of this season’s interior design. For your kitchen, this means incorporating warm neutrals such as beige, terracotta, taupe, and soft browns into your cabinetry, walls, or decor items. Adding wooden bowls, rattan baskets, or a rustic cutting board will reinforce the cozy aesthetic.  

Pair these tones with greenery, such as eucalyptus garlands or small potted plants, to bring balance and vibrancy to your kitchen. Warm décor meshes seamlessly with holiday accents like gold and deep red, creating a festive yet serene atmosphere.  

Pro Tip: Replace stark white lighting with warmer bulbs or a dimmer function to enhance the ambiance.

2. Vintage Accents  

Vintage kitchen décor is making a strong comeback and is a fantastic way to add character to your kitchen. Integrate retro-inspired pieces such as antique tea tins, vintage mixing bowls, or carefully curated secondhand finds. Even small details like ornate brass hardware or a retro kettle can evoke a sense of nostalgia.

If you have family heirlooms, now is the perfect time to showcase them. Imagine the charm of your grandmother’s hand-carved serving tray or an antique cookie jar during the holidays—a perfect blend of style and sentimentality.

3. Statement Lighting  

Give your holiday kitchen decor a focal point with statement lighting. Unique pendant lights, vintage chandeliers, or bold modern fixtures can make a kitchen feel like an entirely different space, emphasizing warmth and artistry. For the holidays, you can even add string lights under cabinets for a magical winter glow. 

Lighting doesn’t just add functionality; it sets the stage for cozy evening gatherings. Opt for materials like brass or matte black finishes to remain on-trend through year’s end. 

Pro Tip: Combine natural elements, like a light fixture wrapped in faux garland or holiday-themed ornaments, to tie your lighting into your overall decor theme.

4. Sustainable Choices  

The shift toward sustainability is driving more homeowners to select eco-friendly materials and designs. For your holiday kitchen, consider recycled materials such as reclaimed wood for shelves, bamboo utensils, or plant-based fabrics for table runners.  

Sustainable decor doesn’t sacrifice style—handcrafted ceramics or glass serveware is both chic and environmentally conscious. Being eco-friendly during the holiday season means getting creative with reusable or biodegradable decorations as well, such as dried citrus garlands or fresh pine sprigs.  

Pro Tip: Partner with a design professional like Heritage Kitchen and Bath to source custom, high-quality, sustainable finishes that elevate your kitchen’s design.

5. Personalized Touches  

The key to a truly cozy and memorable space is personalization. Infuse your kitchen with sentimental items that remind you of family, friends, and special holiday moments. This could be anything from custom-embroidered kitchen towels to family recipes framed and displayed. 

holiday decor trends 2024 home accents

Create a dedicated shelf for holiday mugs, or hang a wreath on your pantry door. Include things that bring you joy and make your space uniquely yours. The holidays are the perfect time to make your kitchen not only functional but also filled with personality and meaning.  

Practical Tips for Implementing These Ideas  

  • Small Kitchens: Focus on small but impactful changes. A statement light fixture or a garland on the countertop can work wonders without crowding the space. Use multi-functional decor such as nested bowls or candles that can also serve as table decor.
  • Modern Design Kitchens: Highlight clean lines and minimalist aesthetics by incorporating sustainable decorations or sleek vintage accents. Add one or two pops of holiday color to keep the look cohesive.
  • Rustic or Farmhouse Kitchens: Lean into the natural textures with warm neutrals and vintage heirlooms. Natural wood trays, handmade ceramics, and chunky knit table runners will fit seamlessly with the overall design.  

Bring Your Holiday Kitchen to Life  

A warm, inviting, and well-decorated kitchen sets the tone for the holidays. It’s the place where laughter bubbles over shared meals, memories are baked into every dish, and stories unfold over cups of coffee. From incorporating warm neutrals and sustainable choices to adding personalized items and statement lighting, your kitchen can become the centerpiece of comfort and holiday cheer.

12 Uncommon Questions to Ask Your Contractor Before Starting Your Renovation

Questions to ask before hiring a contractor
~ Heritage Kitchen & Bath

Hiring a contractor for your next home renovation involves more than just reviewing their portfolio. While examples of their craftsmanship can be reassuring, establishing a positive working relationship is equally vital. Effective communication and mutual understanding can transform a renovation from a potential nightmare into a dream experience. Here are twelve uncommon yet crucial questions to ask when choosing a contractor as your renovation partner.

1. How do you handle unexpected challenges?

Every renovation typically presents unforeseen challenges, be it structural surprises or supply delays. Understanding how your contractor addresses these issues can give you valuable insight into their problem-solving skills and adaptability.

2. What is your process for communicating progress and budget updates?

Consistent communication is essential for a successful project. Ask your contractor about their plans to keep you informed throughout the renovation. Will they provide weekly updates? Is there a dedicated point of contact? Proactive clarity can prevent misunderstandings and ensure you stay informed every step of the way.

3. Can you walk me through a typical day on the job site?

Understanding your contractor’s daily workflow helps set realistic expectations for the renovation timeline. From start times to breaks and the number of workers on-site, this question reveals how efficiently your contractor manages projects.

4. Do you work with subcontractors, and if so, who are they?

Many contractors rely on subcontractors for specialized tasks such as electrical or plumbing work. Learning about these subcontractors and their roles helps evaluate the overall quality and reliability of the contractor’s team.

5. How do you ensure the quality of work and conduct of the subcontractors on-site?

This follow-up question is crucial, as it provides insight into how your contractor manages and oversees subcontractors. Look for answers involving regular quality checks, supervision, and clear communication channels to ensure everyone is aligned.

6. How do you handle project change orders?

Renovations often involve unexpected changes or client requests. It’s vital to understand your contractor’s process for handling these situations. Will they provide a change order with updated costs and timelines? How quickly can they adapt to changes? A contractor who manages adjustments efficiently is a valuable asset.

7. Can you provide references from past clients?

Evaluating a contractor’s work is best accomplished by speaking to previous clients. Request references and follow up with them to understand their experience. Ask about the quality of work, communication, adherence to timelines and budgets, and overall satisfaction.

8. Can you provide an example of a project that didn’t go as planned?

This question can reveal a wealth of information about a contractor’s experience and integrity. By discussing past challenges and their resolutions, contractors illustrate their adaptability and conflict resolution skills. It also demonstrates their honesty and transparency.

9. Do you have insurance coverage?

It’s crucial to confirm your contractor has liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. This protects you from damages or accidents that may occur on your property during the project.

10. What type of warranty do you offer for your work?

A reliable contractor should stand behind their work with a warranty. Inquire about the warranty’s length, coverage, and resolution process for any post-completion issues.

11.Can you provide a detailed payment schedule?

Before beginning any work, ensure you have a written contract outlining the project’s payment schedule. A reputable contractor should provide a clear breakdown of costs and due dates throughout the renovation.

12.How do you ensure the site remains clean and safe?

Renovations can be messy, and safety is paramount, especially if you’re living in the home during the process. Ask about their approach to maintaining site cleanliness and safety to guard against potential hazards. Their answer can also reflect their professionalism and consideration.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right contractor extends beyond evaluating previous work. By asking these uncommon questions, you gain a deeper understanding of their working style, communication skills, and ability to handle the unexpected. This proactive approach leads to a smoother renovation experience and more satisfactory results.

Southern Inspiration

~ Heritage Kitchen & Bath

One of my favorite times of the year is fall – when family and friends all gather in the kitchen for fun stories, cooking, and togetherness. But when these events come up, I always find myself struggling to figure out how to cook for a crowd, and entertain at the same time without loosing my mind! If you know me, you know that I am not a good multitasker when talking is involved. Not to mention that around this time of year there are often just too many guests to all be able to sit down at the table for a formal dinner and I find myself with building anxiety over where everyone will sit. And with every dirty dish, instead of enjoying time with my friends, I am dreading the end of the party, not because I will miss my guests, but because I don’t want to deal with the cleanup when they’re gone. I was always thinking, “There has got to be a better way!”

May your home always be too small to hold all of your friends!

-Irish Blessing

This is where the design of a kitchen is important! I love and adore my big island, and it serves my family well for entertaining and everyday life. But it comes in even more handy with todays trends of charcuterie, and butter boards, and casual dining. Recently we were at a friends house in Charleston, South Carolina, where they took this idea a step further and I will never look at entertaining the same. As usual, all of the friends had gathered in the kitchen anxiously awaiting dinner to be served. All of the sudden, the host turns the corner from cooking out back with a boiling hot pot of the most delicious smell. He then promptly dumped said pot right onto the countertop (which I thought was covered in butcher paper to be trendy, but quickly realized was pure genius!) and simply said, “DINNER IS SERVED!” We all looked at each other with a bit of shock and amazement while his wife threw out bread on the table in the same manner, and handed around a roll of paper towels and a few small dishes of melted butter. The pile of food before us included pounds of steaming shrimp, crab legs, potatoes, onions, and corn on the cob. Once the first few brave soles dug in hands first, the rest of us followed suite. I stood there for a moment in amazement at everyone standing around this very well appointed island in the middle of this beautiful home, having dinner in the most fun and exciting way. No dishes, not utensils, no hassle. We laughed, we cried, we enjoyed each other’s company and we really learned more about each other that night than ever before. The lack of formality and stress made the night! And when it was time to clean up, we rolled up all the shells, and remaining scraps into the butcher paper, tossed it all into the trash, and THAT WAS IT! Neither the host, or the hostess was singled out of the rest of the evening stuck behind the sink of dirty dishes and they, too, enjoyed the end of the evening with their friends. It was amazing! And from then on, I’ve been looking at my kitchen island in a whole new way – always trying to figure out how else we can use it to maximize our time with our family and friends.
