'Tesoros
is the rare furniture store that can mix Mexican pieces,
Southwestern ideas, and the ruggedness of the Colorado Front Range
without
being cheesy. Each piece displayed in this log cabin showroom
is a unique
design - think stone, leather, ironwork, and copper -
and everything is
well-crafted and temptingly priced.'

RETAIL STORE
'Tesoros is a 'WOW' store. It is a renovated log
building in Indian Hills
full of spectacular furniture, art and household items gathered
by owners
Steve and Jenni Sonnen.'

'What's in Store'
Indian Hills Home Store a Trove of Hand-Crafted
Treasures
'Browsing
through this Santa Fe-inspired home store is like taking a
mini-vacation from city strip malls and shopping centers. Tesoros
- meaning
"treasures" in Spanish - specializes in hand-crafted
furniture, artwork, and
home accents.'

UNIQUE HOUSEHOLD FURNISHINGS - TESOROS"
"The log building
that houses Tesoros was once a trading post, among other things.
That seems appropriate, considering
the upscale store now trades in modern cultural artifacts: Rugs
and blankets, pottery, antiques and rustic accents compete to
catch a shopper's eye, and tribal touches brighten many
of Tesoros wares, from furniture to lighting fixtures and
garden accessories. Just moved to town and really want to dig
into that Western vibe? Head for the Hills - or head to www.tesorosltd.com"

". . .
Tesoros is a new home-furnishings boutique specializing in handcrafted
goods that blend Spanish and southwestern influences.
At Tesoros, you'll find beautifully handcrafted works and
many one-of-a-kind pieces for the home and garden, ranging from
rich, copper tables and lush leather chairs to vintage iron gates
and stone tables. Make a trip to Tesoros . . . and add rustic style
to your home."

Elegant yet
rustic, one-of-a-kind, and limited edition furniture and accessories
are featured at Tesoros. Housed in
the historic Trading Post, the collection of uncommonly beautiful
pewter, blown-glass objects, and
hand-carved furniture celebrates Old Mexico. "We work with
small family
enterprises who create unique pieces such as tables and consoles
fashioned from antique doors," says Steve Sonnen,
co-owner of Tesoros, which is Spanish for treasures. Well-suited
to Colorado's
comfortable style, pieces retain a certain roughness, tempered
by the fine touch of generations of artisans.

"Tesoros Ltd.
Promises to be more than just another furniture store. The
home furnishings and accessories are mostly 'elegantly
rustic' and include hard-to-find Spanish Colonial pieces.
Several roomfuls of hand-crafted items - both antique and
brand-new - are the result of numerous trips around the
states and Mexico in search of talented artisans. Most come from
families
that have been making their particular products for years. Tesoros
means treasures in Spanish, and treasures are spaced throughout
the place."
