PAUL MIC HAE L COMPANY WHERE

The H A P P E N S

BY NICOLE BODDINGTON

F

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ASHLEE NOBEL

rom Little Rock, it’s a two-hour drive to Lake Village, Arkansas, a farm town in southeast Arkansas that’s home to the Paul Michael Company.

It’s a cold February day. The sky is gray, and the fields are flooded. A train cuts across the flat land, and we pass time talking about the graffiti on the train cars. We also wonder aloud what Paul Michael will show us on this trip. Maybe it’s a new painting or a few new Paul Michael Exclusives, original pieces of furniture handmade in his woodshop in Dermott, Arkansas. The woodshop is where we’re headed, but first we meet Paul for lunch at his favorite sandwich shop, the Amish & Country Store.

The sign out front says: Pecans Banana Bread Fried Pies.

Inside, it smells like fresh baked bread. We order the Paul Michael Special and wait for him to arrive.

When he sits down at the table, there’s blue paint on his hands. He’s been working on something. Turns out, it could either be from a canvas or from a set of French Colonial doors, a special project for Vincent Peach, a vendor at Market Hill. At the fall show, Vincent produced a drawing of a showroom, like the true artist he is. Paul redrew it to accommodate the raw materials that were available to him, an example of his ability to create on command, taking inspiration from others.

markethillroundtop.com | 7

“I went out that day and found the doors in Round Top,” Paul says. “Where else are you going to find 12 matching doors like that?”

“It’s magic. There is this happiness,” he says of Round Top. “It’s like a vacation for me. People come from all over the world ... [At Market Hill,] we have people from California, Santa Fe, New York, Chicago, Miami. If you have a high-end boutique, it’s where you go, but everybody leaves pretension at home.”

Paul will return to Round Top next week, he tells us, to install Vincent Peach’s booth.

8 | SPRING 2019

Previous Spread: In every corner of the woodshop, various projects are taking shape, including this piece using antlers from Africa as table legs.

This Page (clockwise from left): Freshly painted doors that will be used for the showroom Paul is building for Vincent Peach.

Opposite Page (from left): Paul found large, spear-pointed crystals in South America and has designed unique bases to custom fit each one.

“My opinion of architecture is my opinion on design,” he says, “it has to be functional.”

to attract the very best vendors. Everybody wants the best vendors; why would they come to me? Because this building is functional.”

“So many times you see an interior, like in a design magazine, and you get the feeling, ‘It looks okay in the magazine, but would I want to live there? Can I put a cup of coffee on the coffee table?’

You get the feeling it’s for people who don’t know how to live. It’s the same conversation that relates to architecture, so many times the emphasis is on how it looks from the street, but, in reality, it’s built out of plywood and cheap carpet, and it doesn’t last. You have to ask, ‘Who are you trying to impress?’ The first person you want to impress is yourself,” he says.

“I believe in what’s real. A place you can be inspired, relaxed, where you can entertain, eat, drink and rest.”

On designing and building Market Hill, Paul says, “I wanted to impress the vendors. I wanted to keep them dry. Keep their merchandise dry. Give them a place to load and unload their stuff. If I have a facility that provides for their needs, I would have a chance

As for what he is bringing to Market Hill, Paul says he spent six weeks on the road with trips to Dallas, Atlanta, Vegas and Tucson. In Tucson, he bought an entire lot of 52 slices of black petrified wood.

He decided to make small tables with them, pairing the petrified wood with natural wood. He engineered a prototype but didn’t like it. He says they are reworking the design at the shop.

He tells us of large, spear-pointed crystals he also found. “From South America. Brazil. Phenomenal crystals on these metal bases that were ugly and unworthy of the crystals.” He describes his plan to remount them. With that, he says, “let’s go to the shop, so you can see them.” It’s just a few minutes’ drive to the woodshop where

the shop cat, Paloma, greets us outside. We arrive to the sound of saws and smell of sawdust. In every corner of the shop, there is industry, purpose and focus with multiple projects happening all at once. This is where the magic happens.

Paul leads us to the crystals in the metal bases. It appears he bought the whole lot of them. There are rows upon rows of quartz crystals of all sizes on two long tables. His top welder and metal worker is in the act of hand-fitting each individual component to create new bases worthy of the crystals.

“Every piece has to be hand fit,” Paul says.

We walk through the shop and see additional projects underway, including Vincent Peach’s doors, 12 of them, some drying, some in the process of being painted “Cathedral Stone,” a pretty blueish gray.

There’s a boulder atop Lucite. He calls it the “Flintstone table.” When asked where the rock comes from, he says, “northwest Arkansas” … and what kind of rock it is, “the kind that comes out of the side of a mountain,” he laughs. He tells us he was on his way to look at a deer camp when he saw the boulders and bought two truckloads of them.

Another piece Paul is proud to show us is an ottoman made of wood. “I was in the Apple Store, and I saw an ottoman I liked, and I thought I could make one better than that.” Like the inspiration piece, his version is essentially a wooden box with a slight indention on the seat and open in the middle.

Inside, he stuffs a black sheep’s wool poof.

“It’s for people without a lot of room. You pull it out, and now you have two seats instead of one,” he says.

For Paul, inspiration can come from anywhere. “I don’t think any artist came up with their own original idea. It was inspired by something. Creativity happens when you have collaboration and outside influences.”

And yet many of the pieces in the shop, Paul comes up with on the spot, and this is

The magic comes from Paul and his team, the woodshop is where the magic happens as it goes from brain to build, draft to design.

of why it’s wrong, because you look at its various parts. Everybody agrees when it’s right, because you see it as a whole.” The piece is adjusted, just right, and he says, “That is powerful. This is what I live for.”

Above: A coffee table created from a boulder sourced from Northwest Arkansas atop Lucite legs.

When asked how he comes up with this stuff, Paul says, “Sal came up with a way to cut the bottom off of it. Without him, I probably wouldn’t have used it. Could I have done that without him? No. It was collaboration.”

where the real magic happens. An example of this is a large clamshell from China, which Paul says he’s had for 12 years, and now has an idea for it. The clamshell, weighing some 300 pounds, is rolled out on a dolly. His son, Jake, and right-hand man Salvador lift it to its resting place atop two vertical slabs of reef from Indonesia. Paul stands back as the men adjust the piece to the precise angle, the proper form.

Paul’s phone rings, and he takes the call. It’s his friend, Craig, and he says, “You better come down to the shop. We’re doing something pretty amazing.”

“It’s all about form,” Paul says. “When something is in form, you know it. It’s natural to you. When it doesn’t look right, it’s wrong. A curious part, it’s almost a universal and uniform acceptance of what is right. When it’s wrong, everybody has an opinion

“We’re just like children,” he says. “Do you see the glee? This is what we do for fun.”

It is fun to be in the shop, to be in the presence of pure joy, creativity, hard work, imagination, experimentation and play. The magic comes from Paul and his team – the woodshop is where the magic happens as it goes from brain to build, draft to design. And Market Hill is where magic comes together, the people and the pieces, under one roof.

the MARKET HILL

EXPERIENCE

BY NICOLE BODDINGTON

PHOTOGRAPHY BY NATALIE LACY LANGE

U

pon first arriving at Market Hill, the first impression is that it’s huge. Cars are coming in and out of the parking lot and yet many spaces remain, which shows you how big and accommodating it is. The Paul Michael Company sign is a welcoming sight. You know you are in the right place, and that Paul Michael and his team will take care of you.

Walking out of the Texas sun and into the space, the air-conditioning feels like the ultimate luxury, but that’s just the beginning. The Paul Michael Company takes up 11,000-SF and is well-appointed with art, plush sofas, agate-topped tables, beautiful rugs and large cowhides. It sets the tone for the experience you can expect as you explore the rest of the venue. Inspiration is everywhere.

Live music at Market Hill entertains shoppers and vendors alike.

Live music takes place most nights. It’s one of the things first time vendor Michelle Cheatham is most looking forward to. “I look forward to the music after hours. I love socializing and making connections with new friends from everywhere,” she says.

Market Hill welcomes back the Heart Collectors, March 30 and 31.

The international folk band is based in Australia and has played South

by Southwest in Austin the last couple of years (receiving a “Top Bands to See at SXSW” nod by the Austin American-Statesman), eventually finding their way down to Round Top.

Market Hill also contains a restaurant and dining space and plenty of areas to rest and relax, like Pinky’s Bubble Lounge, where you can sit on velvet sofas and sip champagne.

The remainder of the 130,000-SF space is occupied by the best vendors at Round Top. Each vendor is different. Each one has their own aesthetic and their own impressive collection of antiques, lighting, rugs and accessories. What they all have in common is their passion for this. They are all eager to meet you and answer any question you may have.

Walking through the breezeway, Market Hill also contains a restaurant and dining space and plenty of areas to rest and relax, like Pinky’s Bubble Lounge, where you can sit on velvet sofas and sip champagne.

“We love being at Market Hill,” says Stacy Graubart of The Select Pick. “Both as a seller and a buyer for our design clients. It is not only the best venue with food and places to relax your feet but is a great community of people.”

It’s really about bringing people together. And there are many ways Paul and his team do this every day and night.

Another event that has become tradition at Market Hill is Paul’s Pig Roast. It’s become so popular and memorable, that it will take place twice during the spring show, March 23 and 30. The pig roast brings community together. People gather round to watch, to meet and greet each other, to drink and, of course, to eat. This is just one of the special events around food and community at Market Hill. Chef Preston talks more about what he has in store for the spring show on the following pages. The Restaurant at Market Hill is a point of pride to have home-cooked meals made in-house. Something new Chef is introducing this spring is “Market Fresh” meals, variations of fruits, nuts, cheeses, green salads, fruit salads, wraps and other to-go options for shoppers and vendors on the go.

Come enjoy the food and fellowship at Market Hill.

hen it comes to the amenities at Market Hill, the restaurant is a big one. Not only because of the fresh, home-cooked food that comes from Chef Preston Higgins’ kitchen but also because it brings people in from the fields and around the table. It is here that people can truly connect, sharing stories about their day over a meal and a beer or a glass of wine.

14 | SPRING 2019

Chef is cooking up a few special dinners as well, including prime rib and shrimp, March 22 and 29; Mediterranean night on March 28; and Mexican Monday on April 1.

Paul brought his A-game to the fall show with a huge smoker.

If you know Paul Michael, he loves bringing people together and feeding them. His pig roasts are now tradition at Market Hill. People gather around in anticipation, to watch, to learn and to wait until dinner is served. This spring, Paul will host two pig roasts, March 23 and 30. In addition to these signature events, Chef is cooking up a few special dinners as well, including prime rib and shrimp, March 22 and 29; Mediterranean night on March 28; and Mexican Monday on April 1.

Open daily for lunch and dinner service, the restaurant offers healthy, delicious meals, including hand-pressed burgers, marinated chicken breast, Paul’s pulled pork, wraps, bean medley, oven fries, marinated salad, dressed greens and coleslaw.

Everything is prepared fresh and in-house. The meats and vegetables are grilled, roasted or smoked ­— there is no fryer.

When you walk up to the counter and go down the line, making your selections, you’ll see Chef in the kitchen with a smile on his face, likely pulling out a batch of his oven fries. After you make a plate, you simply move down to the cashier where you can choose from a variety of beer and wine options, as well as homemade desserts. Then you find a table. Long tables are meant to be experienced family-style where you can sit down, rest, relax and enjoy good food and conversation.

The large wine selection available by the glass or bottle.

For those who are short on time, Chef shares something new for spring, what he calls “Market Fresh” meals to-go: variations of fruits, nuts and cheeses, green salads, fruit salads and wraps. These will be easy to-go options for shoppers and vendors.

It really adds to the Market Hill experience to be welcomed in from the elements, to be treated like family, to be invited to the table, to be served a home-cooked meal and Southern hospitality, and to do it again the next day. Market Hill is more than a shopping destination. It’s your home away from home in Round Top.

As you get closer to Round Top (population: 90), another sign of spring comes into the picture. In cow pastures typically occupied by Texas longhorns, there are big white tents and people, lots of them (some 100,000 of them). This scene stretches on along Highway

237 for some 30 miles and extends into surrounding towns of Warrenton, Rutersville, Fayetteville, Carmine, Brenham and La Grange. It’s Antiques Week, an event that happens twice a year, in the spring and fall. Celebrating more than 50 years, what began as a weekend of antiquing has expanded into two weeks’ worth of shows. Here’s a round-up of what to see and do and where to stay and play while you’re here.

Mandito’s

Armando Palacios is a known figure in town with many concepts that contribute to the culture. This is one of them. On any given night, Armando is typically at the classic Tex-Mex restaurant making the rounds around the room to check on each guest. This place is popular. If you can’t snag a table, it’s just as fun to sit at the bar and meet new friends over Margaritas. Mandito’s is closed Mondays.

The Stone Cellar & Round Top Dance Hall

An authentic 1907 Texas dance hall has been relocated to this site. The sign on the door reads, “Must wear boots inside the hall at all times.” Our kind of place, it’s a relaxing wood-fired pizzeria with a variety of craft beer and wine, with live music every Friday and Saturday.

Market Hill Restaurant

Burgers, sandwiches and fresh-cut fries are some of the favorites here, but the real star of the show is the pie. Choose from apple, buttermilk, chocolate chip, pecan, cherry, strawberry rhubarb and more. Royer’s famous chicken dinner is served on Sunday from noon until they run out – the chicken is marinated for 24-hours in buttermilk and garlic and then hand-battered. It’s served family-style with mashed potato casserole and creamed corn.

Traditional English High Tea is served from 3:30-5:30 p.m., with freshly made sandwiches, scones, cakes and pastries.

Royer’s Round Top Café and Pie Shop

More than a shopping destination, Market Hill is a fun place to eat, drink and hang out. Open daily during the show, choose from a variety of lunch and dinner specials including Paul’s famous homemade red sauce and pasta. Market Hill also has live music nightly. Grab a cold beer or glass of wine, and enjoy great music and good times after a day in the fields.

LODGING

Armando Round Top Houses Renowned Houston restauranteurs Armando and Cinda Palacios invite patrons to travel from River Oaks to Round Top where they have a trio of beautifully restored vacation homes. Dating back to the 1830s, the Winn is the oldest of the three and was the first property Armando purchased on a whim back in 1979.

The circa 1880s Bybee Cottage was then acquired from the Bybee Foundation, an organization that preserves German immigrant heritage in Round Top. The Palacios kept the original patina of the place while lovingly adorning the old farmhouse with new amenities and luxe accessories. The Nest was once a 1930s home set in Houston’s West End and is now a mid-century modern space with pop art dotting the walls. See more at RoundTopHouses.com.

« Black Bird Farm A series of historic properties in nearby Fayetteville comprises the Black Bird Farm lodging experience. Here, you’ll find romantic, well-appointed interiors in an early Americana style. Choose from accommodations at the Grand Fayette Hotel, Market Street Inn, Red & White Inn, Bird House, 1850 House, Sealy House or Blackbird Cabins. Herring Hall, the event space, hosts live performances.

The Red & White Inn, part of Black Bird Farm

Formerly The Prairie by Rachel Ashwell, founder of Shabby Chic, The Prairie at Round Top is a new chapter for this 46-acre property dating back to the 1880s.

There are five houses on the property. Holly has added her own signature style to The Prairie while keeping design elements added by previous owners, all with the help of dedicated property manager Danny Riebeling. Danny was one of the original contractors who renovated it. His love of this place is evident in every nail and board. He is fun-loving, enjoys hosting guests and cooks a tasty breakfast. Book your stay at ThePrairieatRoundTop.com.

The Carmine Coop offers three different lodging options – The Farmhouse, The Cottage, and, seen here, The Airstream.

Rancho Pillow This 20-acre compound features multiple overnight options on the property, including four main lodges and a well-appointed, air-conditioned teepee. Each dwelling showcases hand-picked furnishings, paintings, books of poetry and other thoughtful touches. Outside, there’s plenty of room to roam and make new discoveries, like neon signs, a playground with zipline, hammocks, bathhouse, swimming pool and a fire pit. Formerly available by invite-only for friends-offriends, it’s now a more inclusive space where all are welcome to tap into the spirit found here. It’s heartfelt, soulful, mystical and intentional where cool people go and good vibes flow. Feast in the Field is hosted on October 1 and 2. Fantastic chefs prepare the family-style meal served outdoors on the ranch. Purchase your ticket, or book your stay online at RanchoPillow.com.

The Raleigh Shane Brown of Big Daddy’s Antiques offers this 2,650-SF 1890s Victorian farmhouse with a new 30-foot pool and huge deck. It comes equipped with a full kitchen, four bedrooms (including a master suite), and two bathrooms. It sleeps nine people. The interior design is exceptional throughout with a beautiful mix of modern and antiques, and a Paul Michael Company piece or two. Book your stay on VRBO.com.

Round Top Inn The history of this place is evident in its many existing structures, including the only remaining building from the state’s once-thriving cigar industry. Three of

the guest cottages are 1880s originals built by prominent Round Top resident Charles Henry Schiege of Schiege Cigar Factory. The property includes the gate house, a collection of farm houses, the little cottage, the loft and other rooms for rent. Explore it for yourself at RoundTopInn.com.

The Vintage Round Top Paige and Smoot Hull developed The Vintage Round Top in 2012 when they opened their first renovated cottage, No. 1450. The 2,400-SF home was designed with sustainability in mind and is comprised of reclaimed materials and vintage finds, creatively repurposed into light fixtures, furniture and decor. In 2016, the second cottage named Boho was built in the style of an industrial farmhouse. Both properties are available for rent. The Hulls also host private parties, weddings, special events and workshops year-round. Be inspired by their modern vintage aesthetic at TheVintageRoundTop.com.

A Q&A WITH KIMBERLEY MILLER, CEO, DUNCAN MILLER ULLMANN

F

ounded in 1989, Dallas-based Duncan Miller Ullmann has grown to become one of the preeminent hospitality interior design firms in the world.

CEO Kimberley Miller and her team have been coming to Round Top for years, shopping for their biggest clients. Most recently, it was for Hotel ZaZa Memorial City in Houston. We caught up with Kimberley, in advance of her next trip to Round Top for Hotel ZaZa Austin, to talk about her team’s vision, process, strategy and inspiration.

Market Hill: Tell us about your firm and what brings you to Round Top. Kimberley Miller: We work with lifestyle brands. We know what each brand needs.

For Hotel ZaZa, it’s irreverence, whimsy, especially in reference to a particular suite.

That’s what Hotel ZaZa is known for: its concept suites, which our firm helped create. For the last project, [Hotel ZaZa Memorial City in Houston], there were 12 specialty suites. We used Round Top to bring special pieces into these themed spaces.

MH: What kind of pieces were you looking for on this trip?

KM: We design not just spaces but experiences, whether it be in a restaurant or in the lobby. We are looking for unique pieces to create an experience. We sometimes take a residential approach, but we’re looking for out-of-the-box, something you can’t find at a furniture store, catalogue or elsewhere. Custom, stylized, one-of-a-kind, out-ofthe-ordinary pieces with memory value.

Left: A gold leaf steer head found at Market Hill is now at home in one of the ballrooms at Hotel ZaZa Memorial City in Houston.

“We design not just spaces but experiences, whether it be in a restaurant or in the lobby.” markethillroundtop.com | 23

MH: What do you love about Round Top? KM: Outside of Texas, maybe people think of Round Top as cowboy artifacts and folk art, but it’s a great mixture of new, vintage and true one-of-a-kind pieces; we can fill 12 themed suites in one trip. What we also love about Round Top is that everybody knows everybody. Paul Michael is especially great at that. If we go in looking for 50 copper bowls and he doesn’t have them, he can point us to a person three miles down the road who does. You can find almost all of your needles in a haystack here. Paul has the best connections to those people.

MH: What should shoppers know about Market Hill?

KM: Market Hill is a place of unique pieces but also the things you

24 | SPRING 2019

just need – new products in multiple quantities like sets of dining room chairs. The great thing about Market Hill is the wide range of items, old and new, that’s what I like, that it has so much. And that you can eat there [she laughs]. Also, that it’s inside. It’s nice to not be slogging around in the rain. We’ve done that. Each vendor has a unique style. We’re buying a massive amount of stuff, and they are all so nice, so helpful.

MH: Tell us about your shopping strategy.

KM: We have a list of places we go. We have a spiral notebook with dimensions, budget and floor plan. We go in with very specific needs, like a 60-inch round dining table. We walk through every store on our list, and we keep our antennas up. We have a detailed concepted mood board for each suite. For instance, for a seaside

suite, we might be looking for a shell table, but we leave ourselves open to be inspired.

We once found a refurbished gas pump, not on our list, but it made its way into a themed suite. There was once a suite that we went into the shopping trip thinking would be themed Blue Door, but then we saw all of this campfire ephemera, and we changed it to Cabin Fever. At Market Hill, we found this gold leaf steer head, and we knew we had to have it. We didn’t know where we’d put it, but it found a home in the ballroom and is now a memorable fixture. Again, it comes back to the idea of a memory.

MH: How do you stay inspired?

KM: We look to travel, being exposed to different places, fashion, the

trends we are seeing, the hot new shows and set designs. I recently watched Vanity Fair. One of the rooms is an Orient Express train theme. It’s fun to see a set design and get inspired by it. These kinds of trips help with inspiration. We use Round Top for inspiration.

ustin-based designer Claire Zinnecker wears many hats, working with clients on residential and commercial projects for Claire Zinnecker Design.

Her work has brought her to Round Top for years, sourcing one-of-a-kind finds.

What matters most to Claire isn’t necessarily what you’re looking for (although she can help with that), but why you’re looking.

“It’s the idea that we don’t need to buy things from big box stores. It’s a nod to these pieces that have stood the test of time. When you think about the history, the stories of the pieces, of the vendors, there’s so much magic that goes into the finding,” she says.

“That’s why I love Round Top.” Claire has written for Domino, among other magazines, chronicling her experiences, including a recent dinner she planned and cohosted at Rancho Pillow.

She will return to Round Top in the spring to shop for a pop-up she is planning, March 30-31, in Austin. For these events, she curates vintage pieces, home décor and clothing to create experiences that connect you to the objects.

One of the places she shops for these finds is Market Hill.

“If it’s your first time in Round Top, you need to go to Market Hill. It’s so well curated with the perfect vignettes; everything is impeccably placed. It allows someone who’s not an everyday vintage goer to see how it’s styled.”

In a similar way, she brings this vision to her events and into her spaces.

Whether it’s clients’ homes, businesses or workplaces, she styles them in a way that truly showcases an important piece, a piece of history, that might otherwise be overlooked.

“It’s about bringing awareness to how important and worthwhile vintage shopping is. It’s about respecting craftsmanship. It’s about being thoughtful in your decisions.”

For more info on the upcoming Austin pop-up, follow Claire on Instagram @clairezinnecker.

ased in Austin and New Orleans, Maureen Stevens loves history and architecture. She describes her aesthetic as “modern classic,” and looks for pieces that have history and character to bring her spaces soul and life. Her projects vary from modern to traditional, but she always prefers the classics, nothing cookie-cutter. Named one of Austin’s Top 5 Designers to Watch, her work has appeared in Tribeza Magazine, Design & Decor/Urban Home, Make it Over, Romantic Homes, the Austin American Statesman, Wall Street Journal, and popular design and decor giants such as My Domaine, Rue, Domino, HGTV.com and RealSimple.com. Her buying trips have been bringing her to Round Top for 10 years, and here’s how she does it.

Some favorites are Antica (she’s been doing this a long, long time); Don and Marta Orwig (fun Americana theme); and, Provenance (really great, unique finds).

How to take it home with you: If you are filling a house, or

looking for large pieces like a credenza or an armoire, bring a pick-up or rental truck. But it’s not necessary as the sellers have worked with freight, and shippers and will help you with that.

7.

As for the art of negotiation: If you really love it, you have a

price in mind and what it’s going to take to get it. You can negotiate, but be mindful and respectful. It takes time to source something and to bring it here. You have to respect the vendors for their craft. If you are an avid shopper, you can develop relationships with vendors.

Many vendors accept credit cards, but if you pay with cash, you may be able to get a small discount. It’s not un-

How to remember the places and faces at Round Top:

common for shoppers to carry large amounts of cash, so it’s not that big of a concern as long as you are mindful and careful about stowing it.

A tip is to take a picture of the vendor’s business card and a picture of an item in their collection so it’s easy to recall who it is and where it was because there are so many.

ith a lifetime of worldwide travel between them, HurleyHafen partners John Hurley and Justin Hafen have just about seen it all. Prior to venturing into real estate development and design, they created and operated 13 restaurants and bars in the Bay Area. There is a spirit of generosity and hospitality in everything they do, including their original brand of “curated homes” in Napa Valley, built to admire but, more importantly, to comfortably live in.

For their curated homes, HurleyHafen acquires prime vineyard land, designs an extraordinary home, builds it, and then furnishes it, “down to the toothbrushes,” Justin says. “The idea is that the day you buy one of our curated homes, you have everything you need to throw a glamorous dinner … all you need to do is bring your clothes!”

This is the core concept of their business, but they also work directly with clients who already own land and need them – and their team of architects, engineers and contractors – for the design and construction oversight part of the process.

They also do full-service interior design for luxury homes throughout the country. It is for this reason they decided to make their

“Round Top introduced us to a venue like no other. It’s not just the old stuff, it’s new stuff, too.”

“The first person we met was Paul Michael.

He took us around his beautiful store inside Market Hill, and personally introduced us to all of the other vendors inside his building. Then every day, we would go out shopping with him all over Round Top finally returning to Market Hill at the end of the day to start drinking and partying,” John laughs.

“We had no idea how much fun it was going to be. It’s like Burning Man for designers,” Justin adds.

“That’s what makes it so unique. It’s a party!”

“Round Top introduced us to a venue like no other. It’s not just the old stuff, it’s new stuff, too,” John says. “ It’s like this great combination between the Paris flea markets and the big shows in High Point, Las Vegas and Atlanta … but all in one place. Who knew this rustic little town with a population of 90 people had so much to offer?”

first trip to Round Top last fall on the recommendation of (and in memory of) their dear friend Barbara Colvin who passed after a long battle with cancer.

The design duo will make their return March 22-26 with clients and lots of friends in tow. “We fell in love with the whole deal, so this time we’re bringing a big crew!”

“Barbara was a very acclaimed designer and had always wanted to go to Round Top. We had talked about going together for years and just never made it,” John says. “But after she passed away, our mutual friend Michelle Cheatham [Architect’s Daughter at Market Hill] was going, so we said ‘let’s all go in Barbara’s honor,’ and, needless to say, we did and were blown away!”

arson Kressley is everywhere – even Round Top. The Emmy Award-winning TV personality, style expert, fashion designer, and New York Times bestselling author made an appearance as a celebrity designer in support of Designer Dream Spree. Founded by Houston-based designer Julie Dodson of Dodson Interiors, Designer Dream Spree was created to attract A-list interior designers, introduce them to Round Top, and raise money for local animal shelters.

“It’s gigantic,” Kressley says of Market Hill. “Such a large space filled with so many treasures, antiques from Europe, pieces of Americana. It feels like you hit the jackpot.”

Having been to Round Top previously, he brought along his “TV husband,” and co-host of Bravo’s Get a Room with Carson & Thom, Thom Filicia, a top interior designer, TV personality and author, who also participated in the spree, for which designers shopped the fields and venues all around Round Top to create vignettes.

“Market Hill was our first stop,” Filicia says. “It is this indoor-outdoor almost agricultural building with a big breezeway.

There was a mix of antiques dealers, art dealers, vendors with old signs, vendors bringing things from all over the world.

They hosted a big lunch for us. There was this Southern shrimp cocktail in a mason jar. Everything was thoughtfully and beautifully executed – very Southern in its hospitality and presentation. It was a great springboard for our visit.”

“It’s gigantic,” Kressley says of Market Hill. “Such a large space filled with so many treasures, antiques from Europe, pieces of Americana. It feels like you hit the jackpot.”

“One of the myths I busted in Round Top,” Kressley adds, “is that it’s hard to bring things home. That is absolutely

not true. I found a great pair of wooden tables with marble tops. I used them in my designer vignette and had to have them. There are great high-quality shippers. The tables arrived by truck to my home in Pennsylvania a month later.

That is something that would only happen in Round Top.” “Everywhere you turn, there’s a surprise, and a feast for the eyes,” Kressley says. “There are plenty of places to stay; there’s great food and hospitality. I always try to bring someone who’s never been. It’s so fun and friendly. Everybody is your new best friend.”

Speaking of new friends, Thom says one afternoon over Mexican food and Margaritas, he and Carson started inviting people to a local watering hole. They decided to throw a party that evening,

ewcomers to Market Hill, Architectural Anarchy will bring an interesting mix of midcentury modern finds, folk art, industrial and architectural pieces and an assortment of old signage to the spring show.

“The upcoming spring show will be our first show at Market Hill. We came in for the first time to see it last fall. We love the location, the showrooms, the beautiful collection of unique merchandise,” says co-owner Gosia Korsakowski.

Based in Chicago, she and partner William Rawski operate a 30,000-SF showroom filled with a remarkable collection of antiques from the U.S. and Western Europe.

Both veterans in the industry, Bill is best known for signs, art and décor he has amassed for Zap Antiques & Props, the Midwest’s largest prop house. Founded in 1987, Zap has been a part of almost every major production filmed in Chicago. It also offers interior design for retail and restaurant spaces and functions as a design studio and print shop.

Gosia has been long admired for her vintage home accessories. Growing up in

Poland, Gosia spent summers traveling, experiencing different cultures and shopping at various antiques stores and flea markets. She says it was always in her nature to be entrepreneurial. In college, she and a friend opened an art gallery and sold art work made by fellow students. She then worked in the fashion industry before getting married and moving to the States. She began collecting and selling glassware and, by 2007, eventually began making glassware of her own designs.

It was in 2010 that she and Bill went into business together, opening up their warehouse in Chicago, allowing people to shop from their treasure trove of vintage and antique findings from around the world.

Now they’ll open it up to shoppers at Market Hill.

“It’s an eclectic mix. There’s variety in our inventory. We are looking forward to introducing our business in Texas and meeting new people.”

Be sure to give them a big Texas welcome.

“We both grew up with the love of old and wonderful things,” says Kitty Ables. “Tony and I went into business together in 1987, and we tied the knot in 1990.

After cutting the cake and toasting with everyone, we jumped into our van and tore out to Indiana for an antiques auction. We took all the wedding money people gave us for a microwave, bathroom towels and Tupperware and we spent it at the auction. We started doing antiques shows the following week and we have never looked back. We have some wild tales to tell. We invite you to come hear them at Market Hill.”

Based in Leiper’s Fork, Tennessee, Props Antiques specializes in Americana, acquired from roaming the open roads for antique and vintage advertising, and unique décor like old country store and mercantile counters. Owner Klint Griffin has been in the business 14 years, his wife, Cindy, for seven years. This is their third year back at Round Top, and their first year at Market Hill.

“We have been curating a great collection of advertising, furniture and unique objects for this spring show at Market Hill,” Klint says.

“There’s nothing better than enjoying a great shopping experience at Market Hill with its diverse offerings, open air walkways, air-conditioned spaces and lovely amenities. The dinners can’t be beat!”

“We heard so much about it from friends in the business.

We had to see for ourselves what all the talk was about. Long story short, we went and we loved it. The following year, we were vendors out in the fields selling (and, of course) buying merchandise,” says Lanny.

Based in Red Oak, Texas, Lanny’s Antiques is known for farmhouse relics and folk art. And even after all these year, Lanny and Lonnie still get excited by the thrill of the find.

“The hunt of finding pieces that speak to me and bringing the pieces to the show for my customers. I love when customers come back and show me what they have done with a piece they purchased previously. I just love that connection,” Lanny says.

For the spring show at Market Hill, Lanny is bringing a fabulous collection of folk art windmill weights. Folk art windmill weights, also known as counterbalance windmill weights, were produced for the use on windmills from the late 1800s to the early 1920s. A few of the companies that produced the weights were Elgin, Dempster, Fairbury, Eclipse and more. A few of the popular cast-iron motifs were roosters, horses, bulls and letters. The weights were painted black, red, green and blue, depending on the manufacturer. These large weights have become part of the nation’s folk art heritage.

This is just part of what makes Market Hill special to Lanny, “You have great vendors who bring one-of-a-kind mer-

or Jim Braunscheidel, owner of Scoville Brown Cooperative, his art is architectural salvage, saving a piece of the old and turning it into something new.

The building that houses the Scoville Brown Warehouse in Wellsville, New York, is an example of this. From the 1800s until the 1940s, it was a bustling grocery wholesaler. Jim has given it new life with three floors of antiques, architectural finds and artwork.

The “Hearts Delight” slogan is still visible on the north side of the brick interior, and it’s evident from talking to Jim that this is his heart’s delight.

“Just to walk in, to get your hands on something original, something untouched, that’s what inspires me,” he says.

On these jobs, the reality is, if he didn’t get his hands on it, it would all be thrown away, beautiful woodwork, ornate architectural detail, discarded forever. He not only sees the value in saving these artifacts but also in repurposing them.

“These works are my artistic expression and interpretation of where history, creativity and functionality meet,” he says.

“Like anyone in their craft, my work has evolved over time. I began to see new, repurposed objects in the items I collected or salvaged. I combined what I learned as a

young man building with what I learned through the antiques business and started designing and building furniture, lighting and accessories.”

What Jim brings to Market Hill is a variety of antiques and architectural finds.

“Market Hill is amazing. As a contractor, I can say, structurally, it’s impressive, and as a vendor, it simplifies all of the little things that make it difficult to sell on your own. From the building to the breezeway to the air-conditioning – everything.”

isa Strait Vanpoucke is a Houston native whose business was born from acquiring beautiful antiques for herself.

“Being a collector first, it was always on my mind to find the oldest and finest furniture in original condition. I have always been drawn to great craftsmanship and original patina. Early on, I studied every detail on what I bought and constantly did research or asked questions to acquire knowledge. I still do! Although, I'm known for early period pieces, I pride myself on great quality of whatever I buy.

I love mid-century Italian furniture and lighting, and am now fabricating my own furniture as well out of steel and stone.”

Her first show at Round Top was 2002, and she hasn’t missed one since.

“It is a great place for collectors and people in the industry to get a lot accomplished in one place,” she says. “My favorite part about the show is catching up with my dealer friends each evening after working all day.”

Lisa says, “Market Hill provides a good marriage for customer and dealer satisfaction. We work as a team. We are asked during each show how can we improve and we keep doing it. I love that!

We really try our very best to ‘bring it’ every single time.”

As for what shoppers can expect to find at the spring show, she says, “I'm excited about a pair of beautiful 18th century rococo Italian gilt mirrors and an original painted 17th century Tuscan sacristy buf-

I took them straight out of a villa ... lucky me!” And as for the sacristy, she says, “I have never seen a small sacristy chest/credenza like this. It was originally painted circa 1670s in Tuscany. It's about as yummy as it gets.”

Her signature candles will also be at Market Hill again. “I've been working on launching my candle and furniture line for the last two years. I've just developed my ninth and final candle for the ‘Love Collection’ line. My daughter, Chanel, is my partner in the candle company. We will have a beautiful kiosk outside the

entrance to my Antica Collection showroom, where she will be accepting wholesale orders. There will also be coffee tables and round and side tables that I've added to my furniture line. I even do custom sizes!”

As for where she draws her inspiration, Lisa says, “You know, I feel that I'm an artisan, and my eyes are always absorbing beauty.

I love people, and I am honored when I find pieces that my clients are excited about. I adore Europe and for me to be able to continue to bring bits and pieces of it back to my friends and clients, that’s enough to keep this Texas gal in love!”

ennessee native Vincent Peach is a jewelry designer and maker who works from his studio in historic Marathon Village, adjacent to his Vincent Peach boutique in downtown Nashville.

What results from his creative process is a unique brand of signature pieces containing a mix of Tahitian pearls, brilliant diamonds, precious metals, exotic leathers, antlers, tusks and other natural elements expertly combined in a wearable way.

The interplay of vintage and modern, masculine and feminine, bohemian and baroque all work beautifully.

While each piece can be considered an heirloom to be passed down to future generations, these aren’t your grandmother’s pearls. They are wildly expressive conversation starters. Each piece is original and a bit out-there, intended for people who have something to say through their personal style. His cult following includes an outspoken lot like Carrie Underwood, Reba McEntire, Alice Cooper, Steven Tyler, Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert, to name a few.

Currently, the brand is expanding. Maris Collective and Four Seasons Resorts continue to be among the most faithful relationships, but Vincent Peach is building its cache of fine jewelry retailers and specialty stores worldwide.

Vincent always brings new pieces to Round Top. Come see what he’s got at Market Hill. It’s also a rare chance to meet the designer himself.

the food, Don and Marta always bring a huge amount of amazing Americana to Market Hill. "I usually have around 2,000 signs and country store antiques in inventory most of the time. Everything from gas and oil, grocery, farm and factory to great figural trade signs. I deal

in about everything that advertises anything," says Don. New for the spring show will be a collection of lighted arrows, bar signs and several flashing motel signs. "I've been in business since 1971,� stated Don. “Everybody has their own thing.

Some people like toys or fancy crystal chandeliers, I like this old store stuff.”

Among the Americana he has amassed is a huge eight-foot-long hollow anvil-shaped trade sign that in its original life was on top of a three-story brick ironworks factory in Rhode Island. Originally, there was a 12-foot-tall mechanical man with a hammer in his hand that would strike the anvil. The man blew down in a hurricane in the 1950s but the anvil survived.

"Somebody needs to add a 12-foot oval glass top and a set of bar stools to this. You could name your game room ‘The Anvil Bar and Grill.’ You would be the only one with one like it,” Don adds.

As for how Don finds all this stuff, he says most are already in collections that resurface on the market. “We only keep these things

for a while,” he states. As for his own collection, Don laments that his inventory is his collection. "I want to own a really large amount of things for a really short period of time. My wife Marta says I have a warped sense of humor, but I have this hope that if I'm fortunate enough to go to heaven when I die, I would love to see everything I've ever owned lying along the road as I pass up to the pearly gates and visit them just one more time."

In addition to Don and Marta and all those antiques, their friends Polly Hitt from Tyler, Texas, and Gilda Metzler from San Antonio, Texas, will be set up at Market Hill. Gilda, who owns Gilded Gardens, will have her collection of garden furniture, garden urns and accessories and her amazing plants.

“I am very eclectic and love color and texture,” Ender says. “My favorite style is a great mix of old and new working harmoniously together, because I believe things can be wonderful whether they are a day old or 400 years old; age doesn't define quality.”

Working for so many years in the industry, Ender continues to find inspiration all around him.

“My inspiration comes from my trips and literature, sometimes it’s the color of a pillow or the leg of a table; sometimes simple rusty feed or oil barrels can be the inspiration for the next custom creation,” he says. “l am extremely happy about the changing trends toward modern and simple beauty with textures and color but yet very fluid simple shapes.”

“We are in an industry selling beauty and dictating the trends of the future. We deal with very creative and affluent people who take what we saw in a piece and create their own magic. It's all about the passion we have for the industry that defines how successful we are. It’s all about the relatability. People need to be able to see your point of view, and it needs to be current,” he says.

“I believe things can be wonderful whether they are a day old or 400 years old; age doesn't define quality.”

Ender is excited about the pieces he’s showing at Market Hill this spring, especially some new modern lighting and mid-century modern upholstered pieces, but he says he’s most looking forward to seeing familiar faces.

“My favorite parts [of the show] are reuniting with old clients who have turned into lifelong friends, and meeting new ones. It’s those interactions that keep us motivated to do better and work harder to bring in the best products we possibly can,” he says.

“Market Hill has some of the industry’s best dealers under one roof. That keeps everyone inspired and motivated to do better which easily reflects on the best sales in the marketplace. With the infrastructure Market Hill provides, we are able to display our products at their best.”

After acquiring her degree and amassing quite a collection, she moved back down South to open Shabby Slips, a custom slipcover shop that has grown to become one of Houston’s premier interior design businesses.

“Market Hill brought a more permanent presence to Round Top making it easier for dealers and buyers to shop in good lighting, climate-controlled environment (air-conditioning is much needed!), and a great restaurant to meet a friend for a glass of wine after the shows. It’s a very comfortable shopping experience, and it is a very eclectic mix of dealers and merchandise – old, new, vintage, antiques and period pieces,” she says.

To the spring show, she will be bringing “fun lighting, a few antique fixtures, some interesting casual dining tables and chairs.”

Anything else, she says, “will be a surprise! I aimed to make this show more buyer-friendly. Everyone can afford something that I hope they leave with. Happy shopping and come see us for Sip and See each afternoon at 5 o’clock!”

One of the pieces they’ve curated for the spring show is an 18th century ship’s figurehead from Sicily. “It was made as a good luck charm for the ship. She is beautiful. You have to see her in person!”

When Susan is not in Round Top or England, you can find her at her Houston warehouse located at 9016 Ruland, #A3.

Susan says come by for a cup of tea, "I always have the kettle on."

oodson Antiques has come a long way since it was founded on Woodson Drive in the early 80’s in the garage of Jane and Roy Park. Ten years ago, Blake Craghead and Rick Ingenthon acquired the business, carrying on the tradition at the 1861 farmhouse outside Kansas City in Raymore, Missouri.

“We were both brought up by parents who loved antiques and who passed that love onto us. When the opportunity arose, it was a perfect fit,” Rick says.

“We have always loved traveling the world. We travel to Europe six times a year and are always seeking out the next big thing.

I love the hunt. There is nothing better than finding that one-of-akind piece that will make a client’s house,” he says.

In addition to antiques, the design duo takes on numerous projects in the city and has been involved in the designer showcase for the Kansas City Symphony for many years. They also design their own pieces, including lamps from found objects

and blue and white porcelain.

“Our business is always changing. We specialize in European furniture from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, but every year is different. We never know what treasure we will find on our next trip.”

As for what they are bringing to Market Hill, Rick says, “There are lots of things. We have an incredible table made from a pulpit with carved faces on every spine. We also have a pair of angels which formed the railings to a stairway in a private chapel from the early 1700s.”

“Market Hill is an amazing venue. You don’t have to contend with the weather, and you can get a great meal and a glass of wine,” he says.

“You have all of the top-notch dealers from around the country.

It’s great to be surrounded by people who have the same passion.

It’s not the easiest job, so you’ve got to love it.”

ormerly known for restoring historic homes for more than 20 years, designer Kimberly Renner now owns and operates The Renner Project, a 5,000-SF store and interior design studio located along Austin’s emerging North Lamar Corridor. Here she brings together a creative mix of iconic 20th century pieces and high-style art, accessories and antiques.

“The Renner Project decided that 2019 was the year to expand our market to include a presence at Round Top,” Kimberly says. “Market Hill was our first choice of venue. Best vendors!

Best parking! Best bathrooms! Best food!”

berly gives us an idea of the overall aesthetic.

“We shop the best auctions in the country and dealers all across Europe. My latest interest is in French oak furniture from the 1950s and 60s. It is where the warmth of French country furniture meets the clean lined aesthetic of the mid-century.”

“Two of my favorite pieces look great together. A monumentally scaled 19th century oval harvest table and an oak cabinet by French mid-century masters, Guillerme et Chambron.”

“In contrast to the earthiness of vintage leather, we will also be featuring sleek mid-century pieces like these angular yellow chairs paired with a Harvey Probber cabinet and Lucite skyscraper lamp.”

tacy Graubart grew up in Houston, graduated from Vanderbilt in Nashville, Tennessee, then moved to Paris, France, to study design. She later studied furniture and antiquities at Sotheby’s London.

She began her design career working in the costume design industry for film and television, which culminated with an Emmy nod. Midway through her design career, Stacy turned her focus to her real love – interior design.

After working for Arlene Semel & Associates in Chicago, she formed SG Designs. For more than 15 years, Stacy has concentrated on high-end residential design and renovation. SG Designs specializes in livable homes, not masterpieces. Her work is very personal, and she spends time getting to know her clients, then creating to their needs and personalities.

“I love taking a space that was once unusable for a client and recreating it so that it becomes functional.”

Her work is very personal, and she spends time getting to know her clients. She specializes in creating livable homes, not masterpieces.

“I love taking a space that was once unusable for a client and recreating it so that it becomes functional,” she says.

“I find inspiration every day all around me, as there are interesting colors, textures and shapes everywhere. I also travel whenever I have free time for inspiration.

This past year, I spent time in London, Hong Kong, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Africa. I discovered lots of one-of-akind objects at markets that I am very excited about.”

Stacy began coming to Round Top more than 20 years ago, first as a collector and now as a vendor and buyer for her clients.

“My favorite things about the show is the thrill of the hunt for special items and being able to see dear friends, clients and vendors that I only see twice a year in this special small town. We love being at Market Hill both as a seller and as a buyer for our design clients. It is not only the best venue with food and places to relax your feet, but is a great community of people,” she says.

When asked what she’s excited to bring to the spring show, she describes, “We are bringing some smalls to the spring show for the first time. Typically, the items of furniture we carry are larger items, so I am excited we will have things for all levels of customers.”

“Our motto is “We only buy what we love,” Kelly says.

“We love Market Hill because it provides such a wide range of merchandise.

And the restaurant is a bonus,” she says.

“We love that the show goes on for three weeks, and it gives everyone the opportunity to get out there and do a little treasure hunting of their own.”

Back Row Home specializes in antique American and European furniture, architectural and decorative pieces. It is also now a stocking dealer for Lee Industries, Bella Notte and Loloi as well as many others.

Their travels will soon bring them back to Round Top for the spring show where they make their home at Market Hill.

Owners Tracey Shingledecker and Kelly O’Donnell are always on the hunt for pieces to add to their collection of 18th and 19th century antiques.

“We can’t share just yet what we are most excited to bring to Market Hill, because our inventory is always changing.

rest is history,” Stephanie says.

“Where I paint and create is so important to me. Having a peaceful surrounding, almost a sanctuary, is what I need to have to be able to do what I do.

Add the combination of light and nature and it’s a great recipe.”

It is evident immediately that Stephanie is in the midst of preparing for the spring show at Market Hill. Through the arched garden gate, one can see many freshly gessoed canvases drying in the sunlight. Inside the studio, fresh layers of oils cover her canvases in all stages of completion. Her passion for color is another immediate takeaway as you glance around her studio.

“Color is everything. It sets the overall mood for my pieces,” she says.

And, as for what drives her and her creative inspiration, she says, “Although nature and travel play a huge role in where I find my pleasure, as I get older I am less focused on inspiration and more interested in keeping my inner child alive. It’s that place that allows me the inspiration to create.”

Recent travels in Thailand and Vietnam bring a direct vibrancy to her color palette at this season’s spring show. Her canvas collection ranges from abstracts to landscapes along with works on paper and fascinating layered collage pieces.
