Retailer Spotlight: Peggy Stafford

Retailer Spotlight: Peggy StaffordA passion for tile and stone began 17 years ago in Boulder, Colo., for Peggy Stafford when she was a decorator at her own company, Stafford Designs. Stafford worked on several spas and spa headquarters in Colorado and Utah, allowing her to be “exposed to many dealers of stone and specialty tiles,” she says. When Stafford returned to her native Louisiana, she recognized a need for a specialty stone and tile showroom with a full-service staff of designers and founded Stafford Tile and Stone in 2001.

Stafford says her business offers a knowledgeable staff and exclusive lines and products, and her clients include architects, interior designers, homeowners and contractors.
