Custom Built TV Console

For those who are tired of seeing a flat screen TV above the fireplace, here is a beautiful alternative. These custom built TV cabinets are themselves a work of art and can be built to match any decor.

As with any custom piece expect a longer lead time to order - about 6 weeks.

While not cheap (they start at about $6900) for those who want a truly unique centerpiece for their great room, this is it.

Four Hands Fever

Yes...brace yourselves. It's time once again for the Four Hands semi-annual warehouse sale. Get ready to fight the crowds and get amazing deals on all manner of home furnishings, rugs and accessories.

They'll have up to 75% off on overstocked, discontinued and slightly damaged furniture. Based on past experience, there will be some outstanding deals and a great, ecclectic mix of pieces.

Although the advertisements only say one weekend, it will typically last at least two, if not three weekends running. New items are brought in daily so it's worth checking back. Sometimes the best deals to be had are on the final weekend. They also have a delivery service available.

I've had clients furnish entire rooms from this sale in the past so make sure you leave yourself plenty of time to walk around and see it all. They use the old Rooms To Go store location at 2222 and Airport Road for this special sale.

So mark your calendar and don't miss the best sale in Austin.

Valeskas Iron & Pottery

If you are looking for some Spanish style pieces to accent your home, I suggest you make the trip to Fredricksburg and visit Valeskas Iron & Pottery.

Located on Highway 290, about 8 miles of Fredricksburg, you will find their main showroom. There is also a second smaller shop in downtown Fredricksburg. Valeskas have all manner of outdoor pots, iron work, and patio pieces.

Don't just stop after prowling through the yard in front. Go around back to their furniture showroom where they feature an amazing selection of decorative pottery at VERY reasonable prices, starting as low at $29.99. They offer a great assortment of copper, bronze and enamel sinks at prices you can't beat. They have rustic furniture, custom metal and stone tables, unique backlit wall art and much more.

If you need a firescreen, Matt can take matching stone from your home and create a beautiful custom firescreen to compliment any style and size of fireplace.

Valeskas is open 9-6, seven days a week. It's definitely worth the drive!

Happy shopping!
