Bring the essence of Texas into your home with decor handmade right here in the Lonestar State!

While we love refreshing our living spaces with new pieces and great local deals, there’s nothing quite like handmade decor to turn a house into a home. Handmade items come with a creative flair, and items handmade in Texas bring a southern homestead, southwest panache you won’t find at most major retailers. 

Not everyone can afford gorgeous vintage home furnishings, but don’t fret. A few unique accent pieces can add personal style and warmth to any room in the house, and what could be more true to the Lone Star spirit than choosing items handmade deep in the heart of Texas? Not sure how to do it? Let us show you!

Classy doesn’t have to mean “expensive.” This gorgeous, heart-shaped lavender bowl is perfect for a table centerpiece — fill with fruit, or don’t, it’s up to you. We also think it would make for a lovely piece of wall art to dress up your kitchen, just pick up a decorative wall hook and voila!

Every Texas household needs tequila-sipping accessories, and this set of one-of-a-kind sipping glasses will add a homey feel to your next get together. The set of six will run you $65, and the optional serving tray, to be used with the set of glasses or on its own, is $35. When not in use, this set looks great in a display case with other similar items, like these ceramic wine goblets. Oh, and don’t forget the tequila!

Add a low-maintenance earthy touch to any porch or sunroom with this air plant mobile that is both stylish and subdued.

Yes, this is a splurge, but it’s simply too intricate and awesome to leave off this list!

Ambiance goes a long way; soft candlelight accompanied by the floral fragrance of gardenia and lily transforms your room into a sanctuary. These soy candles are adorned with lovely wax flowers and the mantra, “I am worthy,” because the energy you bring to yourself at home makes a difference.
