O Interior Design
Greenwich Village is alive and well in Denver, where Platte Street intersects Confluence Park. This is immediately apparent to anyone who happens upon this vibrant part of town, where the street teems with activity — dogs, young children with their parents, charming boutiques and wine shops, cafes and bakeries. Climb up two flights of stairs above the Savory Spice, and you come upon the atelier of O Interior Design, founded in 1999 by Andrea Monath Schumacher. She opened her business after amassing an impressive collection of credentials: a B.A. in interior design, graduate studies at the University of Colorado in architecture, certification from the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. Next, Schumacher did a set design apprenticeship with NBC’s Days of Our Lives, then worked for Columbia Pictures as an in-house designer. The rest, as they say, is history.
