Among the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, the charming city of Denver, Colorado, has a wealth of interesting offerings, including award-winning restaurants, beautiful inns, and lovely, independently owned shops.
I went to the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver for interior design studies and lived so close to downtown that I could see the tall buildings from my apartment window. I also interned at a designer showroom called Shears and Windows on Blake St. which was the decorator street for wholesale items.
I don’t remember these nice retail stores there at the time, but I was a poor and struggling student, so it was not likely I would have ever seen these stores or others like it. I was too busy between my studies and daydreaming about all the designer furniture and goods that surrounded me each day!
I would love to see Denver today and check out these stores featured in this 2010 issue.
