Since May, Cottonwood Interiors on Sheridan Avenue in Cody has been providing customers with locally made home goods, custom furniture, interior design consultations and a place to find inspiration for their own style.

If you ask owner Demi Olson she might  tell you the store has been open only two months. Time tends to fly by when you love what you do.

Inside the store customers can stop in to buy home goods and expect to find candles made from reclaimed materials, driftwood sculptures made by local artists, fully customizable art, glassware, bed linens imported from Europe and customizable furniture, among other items. 

Olson likes to stock local goods including cast iron roasted coffee from Ranchester and even local goat’s milk because she believes in giving back support to others in the area.

“I think it’s just supporting the people that support us and being involved with the community,” Olson said. “Family owned companies mean a lot to us.” 

Norwalk Custom Order Furniture, which sells custom furniture at Cottonwood Interiors, is even family owned; the business has been operating for 80 years, making all its pieces in the United States. 

Outside retail items that anybody can buy as gifts or for themselves, Olson also offers design services to customers. Customers can come to Olson for staging, styling or interior design. For Olson, who has a contractor father and a mother who rents out vacation houses, home design has always been a part of her life.

Before Cottonwood Interiors she had done staging and interior design for clients but struggled to help clients visualize products that would go in their homes.

“It’s hard for people to visualize something that they cannot see,” Olson said. “So I think that was the main reason we opened the store [was] wanting something different that Cody doesn’t offer.”

If customers want to try their hand at interior design, they can come into the store for inspiration to see what items could fit in their home or how things could be staged. They can even have renderings done to see how something may look in their home.
