Ski Country Anniversary: The People Behind The Magic

Posted on August 30, 2017 by Shannen Eikerman

Ski Country Antiques

Over the past six years, we've seen hundreds of one-of-a-kind antiques and met an amazing array of customers. Our team is dedicated to sharing the history and beauty of European antiques with the people of Colorado and beyond. So we thought we would take a moment to highlight the people who make everything at Ski Country Antiques & Home happen. 

Maggie; Store Manager 

Maggie, Ski Country Antiques & Home ManagerHow long have you worked with Ski Country and what brought you to the store? 

I've been here six years. When Sharna, the owner, was planning to open the store, her son recommended that she hire me. 

Tell us about your favorite antique. 

We just got in an armoire with the most amazing floral carvings on the door. Unfortunately, it won't fit in my house but someone is going to luck out for sure! 

What is your favorite aspect of working at Ski Country? 

I've always enjoyed merchandising and creating displays. To be in a store this big and with so many beautiful things is a bit like a kid in a candy store. I have so many options to work with when it's time to change things up. 

 

Tim; Antique Restorations

How long have you worked with Ski Country and what brought you to the store? 

Almost six years. My wife, Maggie, started here on the referral of the owner's son, and good friend of mine. With my furniture repair experience, it seemed like a great fit and they needed someone with my skill set. The rest is history! 

Tell us about your favorite antique.

A dry bar we had at the store for about a month. It was made from reclaimed wood and carvings out of a European house from the 17th century. We bought it as an abandoned item from a mover. After I saw the pictures I knew we had to have it for the store. It didn't last long and now has a new home in Missouri. It was an exceptional piece! 

What is your favorite aspect of working at Ski Country? 

What I'm here to do! Repairing & restoring antiques. I find it cathartic and when I really get into a piece, it isn't work, but a calling. 

 

Denise; Sales Associate

Denise, the Inventory Manager at Ski Country Antiques & Home. How long have you worked with Ski Country and what brought you to the store? 

5 years. Sharna, the owner, is a dear, life-long friend. There was an opening at the store, and I was wanting a change so she hired me. 

Tell us about your favorite antique.

I went on the buying trip to Belgium in 2016. My favorite piece is from the trip - a single door oak cabinet with drawers. In fact, I purchased the piece from Ski Country to hold DVDs and VHS movies. It is a lovely addition to our home. 

 What is your favorite aspect of working at Ski Country? 

My favorite aspects of working at Ski Country are working with great people, the variety of work, and posting the items we sell online so others can enjoy them as well.

How long have you worked with Ski Country and what brought you to the store? 

September will be six years! Sharna, the founder, was starting this business and needed employees. I had worked for her in the past and wanted to be a part of Ski Country Antiques!  

Tell us about your favorite antique.

I love the British Telephone booth and this amazing armoire from Spain. 

What is your favorite aspect of working at Ski Country? 

My favorite aspects of working at Ski Country is that it's low-stress, surrounded by great people & I get to travel to find new antiques for the store.
