The Sculpture House

This is a picture of the Sculpture House on Genesee Mountain in Colorado. It's a crazy architectural piece of history from the 1960s. It used to be a residence and is actually still on the market as one, even as it is owned by a foundation and used as a high-falutin' events hall type of thing right now.

It's also one of the coolest landmarks in the state in my opinion. When I was a kid, we used to drive up to a time share in Winter Park with all my aunts and uncles and cousins. We always knew we were getting close when we got to the "Jetson House." It's also a favorite with out of town visitors. They always ask, "what is that?"

The Sculpture House is private though and you can't just drive up and walk around in it. But guess what? I GET TO GO INTO THE SCULPTURE HOUSE! That's right! My mom, being a certified kitchen and bath designer, got invited to a home show sponsored by Benjamin Moore Paints and she got to choose one guest to go along with her. AND SHE CHOSE ME!

I'm so psyched. We're going tomorrow and hopefully will get to take lots of pictures. I can't wait! We'll see if the Sculpture House is worth its hype tomorrow.

Sweet! I've been meaning to Google that thing ever since we got back (since that is about as close as I'll ever get to going in it).
