Thanks for visiting the online version my New Braunfels based antique store. I decided to bring my store online because my antique finds are so fabulous, I couldn't see offering them only to the surrounding areas of South Texas.

Pull up a seat, grab a cup of coffee, and take a look. If you love antiques like I do, you're sure to find something you can't live without! And if you don't find it, let me know. I'll try to find it for you!

And if you're in the South Texas area, my physical store is located in the quaint little town of New Braunfels, Texas. I am proud to be a part of The Red Rooster Antique Mall, which has been voted the best antique mall in New Braunfels - 4 years in a row!

I am very pleased to announce that Hill Country Chic is now carrying:

Take 5% off your purchase of the Scent of the Month, "Hill Country Bluebonnets."

Are you ready for an All American Fourth of July? We have what you need -- wreaths, wall hangings, Ruby Red stemmed glasses (imagine them filled with vanilla ice cream with blue sprinkles!), even a collectible Lefton Continental Soldier figurine! Lots more red, white, and blue items to help decorate for the holiday are available.

This is a lovely, small server. It is not old, but is made to look old. It would be great in an entry, dining room, or a bedroom. It could even be fitted with a sink and faucet and used in a bathroom or powder room! It's a great piece!

The photos below show some work I am doing on some very old stained glass windows. They came from a pub that was being torn down in Manchester, England. The photo on the right shows a hand forged nail. That nail dates the windows prior to 1810 when mass produced nails became available. There are 3 windows 21" x 15" and 2 windows 21" x 11", all using the same pattern of dark red and clear glass. Two of the larger ones are in new frames, since the old ones could not be made strong enough to hold the glass. All the rest are in the original frames which have some rot, but I have reglued them and stripped the flaking paint (sure to contain lead). But I am leaving the remnants of the paint, just because I think it adds character to them.

This is a unique mirror that would work with any number of decorating styles. It is made from a very old Victorian window that has been silver-leafed. It measures about 2 feet by 3 feet. I have a similar one in my home that is a mix of contemporary and traditional decor.

Although this end table began as a typical mid-century modern design, now it would work just as well with your transitional or contemporary decor. Its updated look comes from the silver leaf, like the mirror above. The top is a dark gray and white marble.
