CHANGING SPACES

Interior designer Andrea Schumacher’s move to a new office and showroom was spurred by an annoyance many of us and the designer’s other business, (an à-la-carte design service for smaller projects). And the building comes with a colorful history: “Someone was telling me that [long ago] the mayor of Idaho Springs or Georgetown was also a prostitute and used to live upstairs,” Schumacher says. “Trust me, we got the sage out and burned it bright!” Sage-smudging or no, after Schumacher’s renovation, the resulting interior is a paean to her residential work: vibrant, timeless, and curated. “I like it to feel like your home’s been collected over time, and not just bought from one showroom,” she says. Unless, of course, it’s showroom.
