NGLISH TEXTILE designer William Morris once advised, “Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” Too often, we are so overwhelmed by the abundance and easy access to quick and cheap items that we sacrifice beauty and quality.
“Here at Forsey’s, we strongly believe that it’s not just the family that shapes the home, but also the home that shapes the family,” says Jack Forsey, vice president and manager. “There are just some aspects of life—such as the home—that are too important, personal and permanent to cut corners.”
Since 1951, Forsey’s has furnished homes and designed beautiful spaces throughout Utah. Known for carrying the highest quality in home furnishings at affordable prices, and offering unmatched customer service, Forsey’s continues to be a one-stop destination for customers who want a truly magnificent home. Because of this dedication to service and quality, Forsey’s has fostered a reputation as one of Utah’s finest home furnishings and interior design businesses. Forsey’s has long-standing relationships with the industry’s most highly regarded and well-known manufacturers including Century, Hickory Chair, Taylor King, Thayer Coggin, Hancock and Moore, Vanguard, Precedent and many more. Forsey’s is also the exclusive Stickley Furniture dealer for the state of Utah and has an entire second showroom dedicated to the manufacturer. With its new versatile design center, veteran design staff, top-of-the-line product offerings and focus on exceptional service and quality, Forsey’s is a local leader in home furnishings and interior design.

EMODELING YOUR HOME can be an exciting, albeit daunting, undertaking. But when you hire Sierra Home Services, you can focus on your vision and they’ll take care of the details.
Sierra Home Services opened in 2006 in the Sierra Nevada area. For several years, the company remodeled some of the most high-end homes in Lake Tahoe and Reno. Since moving to Salt Lake City in 2013, the company has expanded its services and now pro-
vides a one-stop shop for all your remodeling needs. “We provide complete home remodeling services including structural enhancements, room additions, engineering and architecture,” says Robert Morris, managing member. “You don’t have to source numerous trades—we’ll handle every step of the process from plumbing to electrical.” Whether your plans are to build, remodel, restore or repair, the team of engineers, architects and licensed lead technicians can help you transform your ideas into reality. Sierra Home Services won five stars in the Best of Home Guide 2017 and is a preferred contractor for the Salt Lake City ‘Fix The Bricks’ program—the seismic upgrade program facilitated through Salt Lake City Emergency Management. “Salt Lake City is on the fault line and subject to major destruction in event of seismic event,” says Morris. “We’re doing a lot of work to make sure homes can withstand an earthquake, like tying roofs to walls to keep them vertical and bracing chimneys so they don’t topple and crash into the living spaces.”
PRO TIP Skilled labor isn’t cheap, but cheap labor isn’t skilled. Because we do everything in-house, we have full control, and that means we keep our projects on time and on budget. We’ve grown our business over the last 12 years by providing high-quality services at an affordable price.
