Since so many folks in this neck of the woods came from California, they are familiar with West Elm. But for those who are native, this might be a new discovery for you.
West Elm is somewhere between Ikea and Z Gallerie - both with cleaner lines and more modern pieces. Those of you who are morphing to a more contemporary look in your homes will love to hop on their website and poke around: www.WestElm.com.
If you still need to hands-on experience when you're out shopping, here are a few of my favorite stores in Austin for finding a little more modern look at a modest budget:
- Urban Living
- Collectic Home
- Eurway
- Copenhagen
- Z Gallerie
These will offer a good cross section from urban loft to zen to full blown contemporary. Most are still running pretty good sales on the heels of the downturn last year. With economic predictions looking better, expect prices to start holding firm again in the next few months.
