Fredericksburg design queen Carol Hicks is a huge fan of Bella Notte linens, and she always manages to find the most beautiful designs to stock at her namesake Fredericksburg Best Store Carol Hicks Bolton Antiquities.  We spotted this Bella Notte tablecloth and knew we had to have it for our next dinner party.

As we flip through the monthly pages of House Beautiful, we often think to ourselves “why can’t we just snap our fingers and live in these beautiful spaces?!” Needless to  say, it’s usually  nothing more than a fantasy. However, a recent feature stopped us cold when we spotted this gorgeous French Modernist chair from none other than Dallas Best Store Wisteria. A find like this, virtually in our very own backyard? Count us in! We love how the modern shape balances the more rustic woven seat and back, resulting in something that’s the perfect hybrid. At $1,200, it’s definitely an investment, but it’s one that we believe will serve you well for years to come.

Even though professional ceramicist Paul Schneider mastered his craft oversees in Madrid, he got his start in Dallas at St. Mark’s School of Texas.  No two pieces of Paul’s functional works of art are the same, but every piece is beautiful, inventive, and seems to be exactly what our living room was missing.  You can pick up Paul’s unique works of art around Dallas at Best Store Forty Five Ten, Blue Print and Nasher Sculpture Center Store.

This home décor stuff isn’t for everyone, but if your idea of a solid evening sometimes includes a pint of Rocky Road and good Rom Com, then we think you’ll appreciate these girly accessories available at Fredericksburg Best Store RED. We also think that “Happily Ever After” pillow would be perfect for that recently-engaged friend!

These fair trade Kantha Throws are popping up everywhere after being featured in Vogue’s “100 Gifts Under $100 Gift Guide.” They’re also selling out everywhere, but lucky for us, Amarillo Best Store NEST just received a fresh shipment of the throws, which are handcrafted by artisans in India using leftover fabric from women’s saris.

The last time we attempted to “artfully age” a piece of furniture, we wound up with a half-painted night stand and saw dust that we’re still finding in the cracks of our hardwood.  Our hopes for an easy home makeover were restored when we discovered an organic, chemical free color solution that required zero sanding and priming: Shangri-La Lane’s Safe Paint. The Frisco Mercantile vendor is a master of furniture redo’s, and has partnered with the guru’s at Safe Paint to produce her very own line of paint colors.  Available at Shangri-La Lane’s booth at Frisco Mercantile, this organic paint is making waves in the DIY world.
