PEOPLE has a first look at the network’s 27th home in Morrison, Colorado. A city only 35 minutes from downtown Denver, Morrison is in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and is also where the iconic Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater is located.
Seen in the predominantly green and gray-painted walls, “the aesthetic of this home is rugged and elevated with a heavy emphasis on moody earth tones.”

Some of Flynn’s favorite features are in the soaring living areas. “I love the limestone fireplace facade of the dining room. It’s so classic and timeless and offers so much rugged texture,” he says. “I also love how the massive wagon wheel chandelier stands out against it.”
When asked what makes this house different from the past six he’s designed for the fan-favorite giveaway, Flynn gives an unexpected reply. “Dinosaurs! Weird answer, I know. But there is a rich history of dinosaur fossils all around Morrison, Colorado, and when you’re local, you see nods to them everywhere from national parks to murals and even on guided tours,” he says.
To pay tribute to the area’s rich history, he enlisted the help of artist Karen Musgraves — singerKacey Musgraves' mom — to splash thewalls with original art.
“I gave her very little direction on coming up with a fun take on a dinosaur fossil fly fishing for a prehistoric fish, and she nailed it,” he says. She also created individual paintings of items that nod to the location, like “fishing lures, pick axes and hats.”
From a quaint reading nook hidden behind bookshelf doors to a coffee bar off the kitchen, the house is filled with unexpected, leisure-focused rooms.
The front deck is another stunning outdoor addition, featuring sun beds, lounge chairs and a large dining table for al fresco gatherings
“This house is just pure magic,” says Flynn. “I could not be more proud of it.”
