About 30 minutes east of Austin, sits Elgin, TX. A small town, known mostly for it's sausage making, is home to a historic downtown area that is slowly filling in with local merchants eager to bring this town's historic district back to life. One of the pioneers of Elgin's revitalization is the duo behind
the Owl - Molly Alexander and Gary Luedecke. They opened
the Owl -
a wine bar and home goods shop - two years ago and have done a beautiful job of bringing together a unique "one-stop-shop".
The Owl, located in a fabulously renovated historic building, offers vintage home goods, a wine bar with a good selection of wines, beer, and simple appetizers, and live music every Friday & Saturday night. So you can shop, sip, and relax all in one beautiful spot!
Although the wine selection is good, most of my attention when I go to
the Owl is on the fabulous mix of home goods. They do such a great job of mixing vintage finds with antiques and estate sale finds to create an eclectic mix of home goods that speaks to any style.
The upholstered furniture you find throughout the shop is mostly estate sale pieces that are only the very best of the estate sale. The hand-selected pieces that are brought into
the Owl are thoroughly inspected and only the pieces that are in the most pristine condition find their way to their showroom. If you didn't know that, you would think they were newer pieces or re-furbished pieces at best.
And, of course you can always find a lovely selection of owl merchandise - vases, pitchers, matchboxes, and even salt & pepper shakers.
The Owl is most definitely one of the best places I have seen that beautifully displays an eclectic mix of home goods. Whatever your style or preference, I am sure there is something they have that would please your palette. And, for some reason, while my husband and I were visiting the Owl to collect pictures for this post, we got a little carried away with our cameras and therefore have a few extra photos for you to peruse. So, I hope you will enjoy our mini photo tour of the shop, and if you happen to be in or around Elgin, TX, be sure to stop in and see the Owl for yourself and have a glass of wine too! Enjoy!!
