Hello ~
Autumn
Autumn has definitely arrived in Texas! What glorious weather we have had the past few weeks. I have been spending a lot of time sitting outside - I am sure you have as well.
By creating a room out of your backyard or porch, they can become an extension of your home.

713.626.9500 Vieux Interiors new addition is complete and we are moving in today! We now have an additional 2,000 sqft for you to explore full of wonderful new products. Make sure you stop by and see what is new. Vieux Interiors first opened in early May 2007 in a warehouse with a seasoned team of professionals in the antique and interior design business. The concept for the store was born out of the sheer passion for cutting edge style with killer furnishings. The original intention was to have a traditional retail storefront, with a warehouse as a place to refinish and stage the furnishings, but due to local designers urging of the store opening the warehouse showroom made its debut. In January 2010, Vieux Interiors moved its store location from an obscure warehouse north of I-10 to its current location on West Alabama. The store has been featured in several local magazines and continues to be a destination for interior designers throughout the nation.
Vieux recently won the "Peoples Choice Award for Best Antique Shop" in the West University Examiner.
