Meet Our Friends: Sheri Stouffer, Drapery Expert

November 30, 2015

When Sheri Stouffer took a couple interior design classes at Auburn University in pursuit of a degree in marketing, she had no idea that years later she would rely on those classes as she switched career paths. After years in the high-paced competitive world of sales, Sheri needed a lifestyle change and began taking a window treatment sewing class at the local technical school in Tampa, Florida. She began to find solace and inspiration in her work and not long after that, as she tells it, was the birth of her son and business. A few years ago, her family moved to Colorado and Sheri has reestablished her full service window treatment boutique in Denver. What is your area of expertise?

June 16, 2015

Jodi Cook grew up in a small Wisconsin town where people became doctors, lawyers, farmers, accountants, or other “mainstream” professions. Art had always been an interest of hers, but it wasn’t until an astute guidance counselor in college suggested interior design that Jodi switched majors and pursued a new career path. After working in Niwot and Vail for a few years, she joined Ashley Campbell Interior Design in 2010. What projects bring out your passion for design? I love residential design. No two jobs are the same. With commercial projects, like hotels and restaurants, you have to be universally appealing and practical. With residential, you can get very specific with the client’s preferred style. We appreciate the freedom and variety when working with different clients. Besides, seeing the look on our clients’ faces when they see their home complete is always so much fun. And do you have a favorite
