The Canino family, true Fort Collins locals and the former owners of the oldest Italian restaurant in Fort Collins, Caninoโs Italian Restaurant, purchased this quaint house in 1978. Karen Canino, your host, is a recycle artist and former grade-school art teacher. Artist-Explorer Karen runs her recycled art shop and gallery Screen Door Studios Gallery established in 2008 from the front part of the property. Open most Saturdays. The business will not interfere with your stay in any way. You might find yourself wanting to purchase your hand made Fort Collins souvenirs right on site.
With great attention to detail, Karen lovingly and expertly curated the living space to reflect her travels around the world, eclectic style, love of art and knack for creating custom-made items out of found and recycled objects. Every piece in this home and garden has a story to tell and invites you to take a trip around the world. Bright colors show off molas created by the Kuna Indians of Panama, Oriental rugs provide luxurious softness, and original art turns this home into a miniature gallery. Dine seated at the vintage bench or al fresco at the table under the pergola in the whimsical backyard.
