WHAT'S NEW AT TRV THIS WEEK
Are you up for a field trip? Visit red in Fred, that's Fredericksburg, TX, to find a funky collection of new and old for the home. They've just moved to their new location at 307 E. Main. It's a q
uirky compendium of industrial vintage furniture, lighting, and accessories; unique gifts, art, jewelry, and handbags; and swoon-worthy custom-designs-think beds, chairs, ottomans, and sofas. Aside from their uber-cool inventory, you'll love going to red because it's a locally owned shop that supports local craftspeople and artists. Plus its located in a post-war car dealership (the Crenwelge Buick Building). The vintage-modern space mimics the store's vintage-modern stock and makes for an unparalleled hill country home goods experience. They're open Monday through Saturday and by appointment on Sunday. That's right. They'll open the shop just for you! How fabulous is that? If you weren't up for a road trip before, you should be now. It's well worth the drive.
