My husband and I recently moved to the Austin area and we quickly discovered that a little town by the name of Salado, TX, located almost exactly between Waco & Austin, has over the years become quite a shopping destination for these surrounding urban areas. With this knowledge in hand, we made our way up there to check it out and to see what was going on there.
We definitely found that there were many shops to peruse along the length of Main Street in Salado, but my eyes were drawn to an older section of this street. We discovered that this block (or two) long section of Main Street is called Salado Square and that it is currently home to three boutique shops and a vintage bakery. And, the shining star of this historic block is
21 Main!
It is a beautiful shop with an eclectic mix of furniture, home decor, jewelry, books, and gifts. The owners,
Kaye Coachman and
Julie Schramm, have created a space that is warm, welcoming, and uniquely beautiful. These two friends decided a little over a year ago that it was time to do something different and open their dream shop in just the perfect available space in their small town of Salado. So along with their spouses, they did just that and opened the doors of
21 Main at Salado Square.
Kaye and Julie have done such a beautiful job of bringing together antique pieces, modern furniture, and a bold mix of decorative accessories to create what I like to call clever vignettes, or little rooms, that help you visualize what these pieces might look like in your home. So you get to see a dining room table in a dining room space, and not only are you able to visualize the table perfectly placed in your dining room, you also find yourself needing to grab those table linens too because your new table just couldn't live without them.

But, even if you aren't in need of furniture, you can be sure to find lots of gift choices and ideas for all the special folks in your life as well. Signature candles, custom made pet beds, scarves, books, men's gifts, jewelry, glassware and artwork are just a few of the gift selections you will find.
So if you get a chance to visit Salado, TX, any time in the near future, be sure to stop by Salado Square and visit Kaye and Julie at 21 Main. I know you will love it and I guarantee you will be inspired to redecorate at least one room in your home. And, I am also pretty sure you will not leave this shop empty handed either.
