Tips For Visiting Round Top Texas

Happy Easter everyone! I hope that y'all have a blessed day with your family.

I mentioned that last weekend we almost made it up to Round Top so I thought that I would re-share my trip from 3 years ago that includes tips for those who are planning on going and have never been. I am hoping to drive up one day this week to seek out a few treasures. 

Round Top- A Quick Trip

Twice a year there is Antique Week up in and around Round Top,Texas. They have a Spring show and then one in the fall. I had not been in a few years and wanted to drive up. Round Top is only about an hour and half away from our new stomping ground but I did not want to go alone so when my friend Janet texted and asked if I wanted to go I said heck yea!

French Farmhouse Vignettes

Yesterday I revealed our DIY Wood Beams in the living room and have since received emails about where I purchased a few of my accessories.

Round Top Antique Week- Tips for The Best Shopping Experience

Round Top, Texas is a quaint little town north west of Houston by about two hours. Twice a year it comes to life along with all the other sleepy little towns surrounding it for Antique Week. The original Round Top Antique Spring Show is the first weekend of April this year. Vendors from all across the country come to set up and many of them show up two weeks before the actual Round Top Antique Weekend.  

Antiquing

This past week I enjoyed having my mom around. We went shopping and shopping and shopping some more. :) One place we went to was a very unique antique consignment store over on 1960 and I have since forgotten the name of it. I can not find it on google but the owner said it use to be an old dance hall. This place goes on forever and is two stories tall!

One of the first pieces we saw was this HUGE wardrobe! I thought of Courtney over at The French Country Cottage when I saw it. I know she would just love it.

Look at it's beautiful possibly hand painted design.

Another view of the piece. 

There were lots of old headboards just waiting to be purchased and transformed. 

This one had amazing detail work that would be sooo pretty painted cream, distressed and glazed. 

More headboards but that is not what caught my eye. The old post office mail box was really cool.  

I really loved this old columns but was not wanting to drop the $85 on them even though I have been wanting some for quite awhile.

Here is one of several corner hutchs waiting for some loving.

There were soo many vintage chandys.

This one was one of my faves. I love me some bling!

And last but not least was this lion statue. I can picture him sitting at my gate welcoming people in the back yard. WM  usually has some and I just might get one or two this year.
So there you have part one of our shopping adventure. Sorry the pics are not all that great. I was using my phone.
Hope your weekend is going well and thanx for stopping by!
