I wish more often I would come across stores like Mockingbird Domestics. There are lots of online stores, but I get tired of seeing the same thing over and over. Mockingbird domestics is also a bricks and mortar store, as founders Jeff and Laura are launching a location in Austin, TX. Any readers living in Austin? If so, you are really lucky, because I would LOVE to see some of these pieces in person.
Here are some of my favorites -
I NEED this table. Right now, I need any table, as ours isn't fit for a barn. This cafe style table would make me one happy girl.
How great is this walnut standing table. They custom made this for a client and then decided they should offer it regularly. I try to stand at my desk and I have to put my keyboard and mouse on a box on my desk to make it slightly comfortable.
This very cool rocker is made from Texas wine barrels.
How cool is this handtruck ottoman?!?
They also have a lot of lovely accoutrements. They take pride that many of their products are from local artists and artisans, as well as having some vintage and international products peppered in.
I find this silver pedestal bowl really striking.
My mother would LOVE these barnyard skewers.
Even though I work as a freelance
web designer, I am an illustrator by training, and I really admire the work of Chris Celusniak, who painted this whimsical and detailed Texas Capitol.
