FIND is Breathing New Life Into Antique Furnishings in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | July 23, 2015

FIND just celebrated its soft opening last weekend, but the Texas Hill Country is already buzzing about this new store. Why? Well, it’s an eclectic mix of traditional antiques and reupholstered, modernized antiques, as well as decor with a vintage feel and replicas with a wow factor.

“It’s the ultimate in recycling,” explains co-owner Kim Neal. “I love antique furnishings and decor because they have their own history and stories to tell. At FIND, we’re just giving these things a new life with a new look!”

Kim attributes her love of antiques and vintage finds to her father who is an antique dealer. “It’s in my DNA!” she laughs. Kim has lived in the Lake Travis area for 15 years and all three of her kiddos are graduates of LTHS! “LT is my home,” she smiles. “I love the attitude, the resort lifestyle, the beauty and the people. We have everything at our fingertips!”

When Kim Neal met fellow LT resident and antique aficionado Brent Charlet, owner of Adorn Boutique in Lakeway, the entrepreneurial duo realized they had a lot in common.

The summer heat has finally landed in Lake Travis with temperatures hovering around 99 degrees these days. But the good news is, lots of delicious fruits and veggies are still in season, so if you’re getting tired of grilling hotdogs, check out some of the foods from Lone Star Farmer’s Market at Bee Cave located at Shops at the Galleria.

Your inner foodie will thank you.

Have you ever wondered what “in season” actually means when it comes to fruits and vegetables? Well, in-season foods are more likely to be at their nutritional peak, chock full of the good stuff your body needs for optimum health.

Based on where you live and the current time of the year, certain foods are traditionally harvested and more readily available nearby. Some people believe that in-season foods are exactly what your body needs at that time of the year.

The new 195-room hotel in the Lake Travis area, the Sonesta Hotel Bee Cave, officially opened its doors last week. In fact, the City of Bee Cave proclaimed July 5 Sonesta Day!

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony and opening party, the hotel’s first-ever guests settled in for their stay at this chic Hill Country destination.

We first wrote about the Sonesta Hotel in early January when construction was well underway. News of the hotel spread quickly as well as questions about what it would bring to the Lake Travis community.
