Affordable Art in Lake Travis: Adams Galleries of Austin

Written by Mandy Spivey | September 23, 2015

New families come to the Lake Travis area everyday. When the movers leave and the furniture is all squared away, it’s time to decorate those bare walls.

The art gallery scene in Austin and the Hill Country is pretty spectacular. But what impresses some will price others out of a store, which is why Adams Galleries of Austin has stepped up to the challenge. Starting from the premise of offering hand-painted originals at affordable prices, Ryan Adams is following in his family’s tradition one client at a time.

A second generation art dealer, Adams is always ready to help you source the art of your dreams. Large spaces that need a pop of color, or smaller rooms like closets that can use a touch of style all become fun projects for the energetic art man, from choosing a piece to deciding the size and custom framing.

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.
