Add Warmth To Your Space With Conifer's Handcrafted Home Goods

When owner Caitlyn Schwarz opened Conifer in Denver’s RiNo neighorhood in 2020, the shop’s mission was to support a community of makers, and that’s still her priority today. Here, she shares insights on how handcrafted items can add warmth to your home this autumn.

How would you describe your shop? It’s everything I love about Colorado and small makers. They spend their lives making quality pieces that you’re going to have for a long time. It truly feels like a home when you walk in—it’s cozy and everything’s made of natural materials, like wood and clay.

What local makers are you excited about? One is Liam Grinton, who crafts lavender-hued dinnerware and ceramic lamps and tableware. His work feels like it has a story behind it. And one of my favorite painters right now is Emily Knight, who is incredible with color and teaches workshops in the shop.

What’s new for fall? A lot of cozy things! Plus beautiful serving platters by Becci Marzonie, pie dishes by Grinton and we’re getting ready to feature an array of really cool vintage blankets.
