Art-Wine-Design


There's a little town West of Austin tucked away in the middle of the Texas wine country.  If it weren't for the 30 mph speed limit most Texans would drive right through Fredericksburg & miss out on all of the fabulous little shops that adorn the corners - grab a glass of wine & have a look around!

As soon as we drove through "F-burg" I knew I NEEDED to stop at this beautiful boutique called RED.    I begged the bf to indulge my desire for design & there it was - vintage heaven surrounded by art galleries, German cafes & wine.  Everywhere you look there are wonderfully placed nicknacks organized in fantastic vignettes throughout the store.  To the right, vintage inspired knobs nestled in groups upon a beautifully stained entry table.  The various sized vases create the perfect frame for the brilliant colors & shapes! 


To the left, gorgeous bold printed fabrics, an energetic'n bright 16 square art piece & for added character 3 decorative busts to finish out the vignette.

Check out those shades! They're made from thin bamboo strips that allow just the right amount of light to shine through - perfect for ambient lighting over a dinner table or seating area.

Picture this: group three lamps (different shapes &/or sizes) over your favorite seating area, turning a drab corner into a calming, relaxing reading nook.

The boyfriend fell in love with this antique Ford sign, "Perfect for a man-cave" he says.  Vintage signs are fun & easy to incorporate in any design.


I absolutely love lucite used in unexpected ways.  These amazing chairs have a gorgeous light & airy silhouette, paired with a heavier feeling wood table is an awesome way to spice up any dinning room.



Inspiration Heaven.
