Last week, my friend Jeni came to visit from California and I took her to some of my favorite places in Houston that I knew she’d love. Among them, was Boxwood Interiors, a charming store featuring an amazing selection of pillows, furniture, lighting, decorative accessories, and paints and wallcoverings by Farrow and Ball. I’ll let you in on a little secret, we sourced a few items from Boxwoods for a High Gloss photo shoot that we can’t wait to share with you! But more on that later. First, I’d like to share a visual tour of this amazing shop. Boxwood recently underwent a major makeover. The store nearly doubled in size and they added a ton of fabulous new vignettes, brightened the space, and added some show-stopping details.
{It was quite appropriate that we visited Boxwood on the same day that we heard Miles Redd speak. This amazing octagonal partition is painted in Miles’ favorite color, Hague Blue in Full Gloss finish by Farrow and Ball. It is such a gorgeous shade and this image doesn’t even begin to do the amazing partition justice.}
{Boxwood mixes styles so well. There are plenty of things that appeal to the French and Belgian loving set as well as a great assortment of pieces that appeal to those who love a more modern dose of color.}
{Pillows, Glorious Pillows!}
{So Many Lovely Details}
{I love the mercury glass lamp, subdued color palette, and Donghia suzani pillows in this vignette.}
{How gorgeous is that mirror?}
{I love the framed abstract paintings here. Sally Wheat has some similar ones in her home. Sally, if you’re reading this, what is the artist’s name?}
{This console is bananas! The photo doesn’t even begin to do it justice. It is covered in what looked and felt like seagrass and studded with nailheads.}
{I loved the gilded wheat sheaf table and these neat stools.}
{These Kobo candles smell so nice and feature such lovely packaging.}
{Gorgeous Mercury Glass Lamps atop a Beautiful Console Table}
{There is literally eye candy in every corner of this store. I am crazy about this fabulous end table with Greek key detail.}
{A Pretty Table Setting and Chandelier in front of Gorgeous, Hand-Painted Wallpaper by Farrow and Ball.}
{I love the simple lines of this furniture. It would be great in an outdoor area.}
{Another Beautiful Vignette}
{More Mercury Glass Lamps – Love!}
{A Fabulous Assortment of Farrow and Ball}
{A Nod to the 1950s via a Wheat Sheaf Table and Cute Poodle Lamp}
{Yet another lamp I was dying over! I wasn’t kidding when I said I was a total lamp tramp!}
{I wish I’d gotten a better picture of their gorgeous cash wrap /check-out counter. You can see it up close in the previous picture. It features carrera marble and antiqued mirrors. I doubt there is a prettier one in existence.}
{So, the gorgeous Hague Blue octagonal partition from the beginning of this post separates the retail part of the space from the offices in the back. Boxwood also provides interior design services.}
Thank you, Mimi and Jenna for being such gracious hostesses and treating us like old friends during our visit!

That partition is AMAZING! It reminds me of DG Padgett wallpaper, which is one of all time favourites. Would love to visit this place- so many stunning things!
Absolutely stunning store. I would probably spend hours in there for sure.

The new Boxwood space looks amazing! I stopped by on Friday and was totally impressed by the overhaul -- it's so fresh and that blue partition is to-die-for.
Loved the mix of sparkle with a touch of whimsy...gorgeous.

I'm so obsessed w/ the new boxwood! Brett, Mimi and Jenna are the sweetest people ever, and they have done such a great job, that partition is so yummy I couldnt' stop staring/touching it! Their launch party was divine, boiled shrimp served out of those huge clam shells! Super fun! :) Can't wait to see your shoot using some of their stuff! :)
This store looks amazing! I´m sure I would have gone bananas in here, spending way to much money... Too bad I live in Norway, or maybe not for my wallet ;)

Lovely store! Thanks for sharing. You are very lucky to have such a nice resource in your city.
Hi Paloma. My art that is similar is by Chris Lesiker. I'm not sure if the pieces at Boxwoods are by the same artist. They sure are pretty though! Along with the rest of the store!!
I haven't been to Boxwood Interiors since the redo, but I absolutely must go soon -- it's fantastic!! And that partition is to die for. I want one for myself (not sure where I'd put one, but I'm sure I want it). :)
OMG - what a beautiful store!!! You had me at the spectacular front door - the color AND the texture! Love almost everything! Thanks for sharing.
If there only were stores like that in DC...!!
Wow! If I had a store I would want it to be just like this one! I can see why it is a favorite of yours. Not only is the product beautiful and masterfully displayed, the space is wonderful too. Love that turquoise partition and blue door! Thanks for sharing this.
Wow, this store is gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing!
Just moved to Houston, and can't wait to visit Boxwood! Please list some of your other favorite places. PS. I have just discovered your blog and have enjoyed seeing and learning more about good design from you. Love what you do.
