On December 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire swept through Boulder County with devastating speed, destroying more than a thousand homes and forever altering the lives of those in its path. Among them were Todd and Carrie Nash, whose Spanish Hills home was reduced to ashes in a matter of hours despite their hopes it might withstand the blaze. What followed was a long, difficult journey—navigating insurance battles, facing construction challenges, and ultimately deciding to rebuild the home they loved. With resilience, vision, and the help of Rosewood Construction, the Nashes transformed tragedy into opportunity, creating a modern, light-filled home that now stands as both a personal sanctuary and a symbol of renewal rising from the fire’s destruction.
