There are three separate shopping areas in this large 1890's renovated storefront. I felt like this store was a bit out of place in a downtown area that does not receive a lot of traffic but I wish them well. If I were a home decorator who wanted ranch chic, this place is worth driving to from Fort Worth or Granbury for the one of a kind art pieces up for sale.

I liked the building, it had that rustic feel that made it perfect for a store that seemed to specialize in rustic/rustic chic? That's probably not a real thing but I'm going with it. I totally appreciated that they were part of the downtown area of Hico. So many of the towns I visit for work have boarded up downtown areas that aren't being utilized and I love that Hico seems to be trying to keep this area alive. I hope this store does well and would definitely recommend that anyone in the area check it out for some fun gifts or furnishings!
