It was so nice to find this tiny gallery and shop inside an office building in historic Niwot. The…read moreart and goods are packed tightly, even around the staff's working areas. We went to a festival of the celebration of the end of summer, First Friday ArtWalks. I had seen a post in the Boulder paper announcing the event. One of the artists featured was a person we have known for over 25 years and seen his work in other settings, in Boulder. It was really nice to see the new work he has done recently, a shift in color palette and location settings but still recognizable by his style. And still depictions of the Southwest part of the country. The gallery had other artists also and craft and pieces of art for sale. A nice collection of styles. Niwot has always been known for its antique stores, even since we arrived in Boulder in the 70s. We did not furnish from these stores but some friends did. Now, many of the historic shops sell the art of the local community that has sprung up, in a rural setting, just minutes from Boulder. If you take the sign at the turn off from the Diagonal Highway (119) just east of the light at Niwot Rd, you will find yourself on the 2nd Ave historic section of town. It was also a treat that the festival evening had a large local band playing outside near the galleries on this block. A large crowd for the end of summer festivities, and awards to the artist favorites of the summer long shows. Many people seemed to all know each other. Small town, still in the heart of Boulder County.

I've painted pottery at studios like this before, but I was blown away by the amount of choices, creative freedom, and room that this business offered. Their selection of pieces to paint is huge, the glaze selection is also impressive. I chose a mug and we were able to sit outside at a picnic table on the sidewalk and paint. The girls were nice enough to bring our stuff out and get us set up and we had so much fun. We literally sat and talked and painted for hours! We definitely got our money's worth! The best part was our pieces were done within the week. Super fast turnaround for such a busy studio and they turned out perfect!

Duraplaq is one of the better fine arts companies in the US. Their customer service is…read moreunparalleled, their products are unique, and their packaging has improved a ton, since I first started using them. I would recommend Duraplaq without hesitation. At many photo labs, the customer comes last, and volume is the only determiner in what kind of service you get. However, at this establishment, the friendly staff will answer questions for longtime customers and newbies alike, and they go to the end of the planet, to make sure you are satisfied. If you have an art file, Duraplaq has a presentation method that will suit your needs. I've been impressed by the variety that this business provides in its art solutions; I've gotten plaques, I've received alumapress prints, I've ordered paper products. All are second to none. Duraplaq is the place to go, if you are in search of fine art solutions to distinguish yourself from the competition.

But now I am just a donor to their shop and I really enjoy knowing my various donations will not go unused. I brought in a lot of stuff in the last few years but recently found yet another stash I had missed. So I called to see if the could use wallpaper and told me they would even take an operas roll in addition to the two still sealed. I got a rude over this morning so we could easily park as soon as they opened. It's a great shop stocked with so much in so many categories, every crafter and fiber artist around should stop by.

Yesterday they even had a spinning wheel! If you bring in a donation of supplies, you receive a discount coupon for a future purchase.

Drew and his team at Board and Bolt were fantastic to work with and made some truly incredible…read morefurniture for us that we're looking forward to using for many years to come. After searching unsuccessfully online and at a bunch of stores in-person for a well-built round dining table that was a size and color we liked (and getting several unaffordably high quotes from other local custom furniture makers), we reached out to Drew. On the first phone call, he immediately provided several great ideas around potential materials and designs that we hadn't previously considered to help us build our perfect dining table while keeping the project within our budget. He also talked with us about our general design preferences and the choices we'd made elsewhere in our home to make sure that it would be a great fit for us. Based on those first conversations, we also asked him to build a matching credenza sized to fit our space, and both pieces came out even better than we had hoped. Drew was friendly, flexible, and communicative throughout, and took the time to make sure that everything would be exactly the way we wanted (including making a bunch of different wood stain samples for us to check out). The dining table is perfect for us - it has a beautiful modern mix of steel and oak that looks amazing while also being very solid (great since we have young kids), and it's perfect for entertaining. The credenza also looks fantastic, and I love the steel base and legs that Drew suggested to help match the style of the table. These pieces are already making our room far more functional and enjoyable (our kids have already claimed the table as a preferred space for doing puzzles together), and the quality and craftsmanship are exceptional. We're so appreciative that we found Board and Bolt, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering custom furniture!
