3 Exquisite Home Decor Shops in Crested Butte

Although beautiful, Crested Butte isn’t just about the outdoor adventure and recreation. In fact, Crested Butte boasts around 50 shops, none of which are chains or big box stores–we just don’t do that here. You can find unique, and “CB only” items you won’t find anywhere else. The stores are charming, locally owned, and curated to suit the tastes of our special mountain paradise.
What’s better? You can decorate your home-away-from-CB with speciality items that Williams Sonoma won’t carry. Here are 3 Crested Butte shops that offer boutique, and covetable items to decorate your home:
1. Casa Bella
At Casa Bella, you’ll be hard pressed not to leave with two of everything. The shop offers items for every room in your home. The selection of high-end pieces means you’ll find kitchen ware, entertaining pieces, bedding and candle brands that are both unique and hard to find.
The Benicia Foundry & Ironworks heirloom iron bed frame can be seen just as you walk in. This bed frame is proudly made in the USA, and is as sturdy as it is elegant. Perfect for modern, cabin-chic, industrial or vintage home decor styles. Let the iron frame show through, or decorate with small lights, and fabric for a bohemian look.

You can also find many household essential items, like the charming Rosy Rings candles, made right here in Colorado. These diffusers, and candles add a delicate touch of florals to any space. Prices range from $20-$68, depending on style and size.

Here are some other unique home essentials you can find while perusing Casa Bella:
2. Grubstake Gallery
A picture of Crested Butte is worth a thousand memories. At the Grubstake Gallery on Elk Avenue, you’ll find photography prints of all sizes, fine art by local artists, along with pottery and jewelry. The owner also creates prints in the back of the shop, and occasionally offers demonstrations to patrons that wish to see how she creates her stunning pieces. This art and photography is one of a kind, and would add a stunning backdrop to any room. Sizes vary, so whether you’re shopping for a small corner table, or a full wall piece, you can find divine art from your favorite mountain town.
3. Artisan Rug Gallery
What began as a shop of handicrafts and exotic finds from travels around the world, turned into a dedicated shop for artisanal woven rugs. Now a longtime staple on Elk Avenue, the Artisan Rug Gallery boasts an impressive selection of rugs, whose origins span the globe. Every rug in the shop is highly unique and hand-picked from villages and markets by the owner himself–meaning you likely won’t find these rugs anywhere else. Each rug is hand-dyed, woven and knotted by artisan rug makers who have dedicated their lives to their craft. Add a touch of luxury and charm to any room with one of the rugs in the shop.
Who wouldn’t want to add a touch of Crested Butte to their home? If you can’t live here, you can at least take a piece of CB home with you, for a pleasant reminder of the memories you made while you were in the valley. No doubt the pieces at these stores will not only inspire your friends to ask where you found such extraordinary items, but hopefully inspire you to come back for another visit.
