The annual Junior Symphony Guild designer show house not only showcases Colorado interior designers, its boutique is an extravaganza of locally made products. Check out these Colorado creations through May 21 at 160 High St. in Denver. You’ll need a ticket to view the show home, but the boutique is free.
