Across Utah’s heartland, creative merchants and decorators help residents express their sense of style through inspired design and décor. This year’s Best of Sanpete County contest highlighted a few of the area’s most beloved spots where quality craftsmanship meets small-town charm, each offering its own flavor of comfort and creativity.
