About Sofa Sherri

Hello and welcome! I'm Sherri Enroth and the owner of Alabama Furniture and Accessories.

When customers asked how I got started in the furniture business, I tell them selling furniture is in my blood. My grandparents John & Elinor Campbell cornered the furniture market in Denver for over 50 years. As a young child, I would stand on a milk crate behind the counter and help my grandfather's customers. Even though business brought my dad to Houston in 1985, every summer I went home and helped run The Red Barn Furniture Co. What amazed me was the great friendships that my grandfather had with his customers. Everyone knew him by name and he knew everyone's story and I feel that is one of the characteristics that I have carried over in my own company. My customers love to come in and meander around and look at unusual finds. I tell people "shopping at Alabama furniture is like a free therapy session."

A few years after graduating from Robert E. Lee High School and taking some classes at the University of Houston I opened up shop in 1991 in a small building off W. Alabama with a mere 1200 sq ft and started my own journey. I found a great niche in the Montrose community with the mantra "Reuse, Recycle and Resale" and soon grew out of the Montrose location and into the Heart of the Heights in 1996.

Specializing in top quality brand name furniture and accessories, as well as, haute consignments was a great idea. Adding closeouts and certain scratch and dents of exceptional quality meant that now there was something lovely for every budget.

My dad, Tim Hamrock, spent over 20 years with his very upscale furniture and design company, Hamrock Interiors, in Highland Village. He has been around the world and now has found his home in Galveston.

I have been the President of the South Texas Association of Resale Shops, and am very active in the Heights Association and Chamber of Commerce.

I married the man of my dreams, Rion, in 2001 and as an added bonus he came with two beautiful kids Christopher and Caroline. In 2004 God gifted us with a little baby girl, Christine, who is now five years old. Christopher is now married and in the Navy, and Caroline is engaged and is a First Grade Teacher in HISD. The only thing better than selling furniture for me has been being a mom.

In October of 2009, Alabama opened up a new location in Galveston. After so many customers ended up driving to the Heights location after Ike for our great deals, I decided to bring them to them. I love what I do and it's like Christmas every day. It's amazing the treasures that are brought in from people. It's life collections from around the world and I am blessed to be able to share my passion with you.
