Hello, my dear Poppytalk friends. I hope your new year is off to a lovely start, and that 2013 is the best year yet for all of us! Onwards up upwards, right? On that note, I am excited to bring you on a tour of one of Austin's newest design boutiques: Nannie Inez.
Co-owners Deeyn Rhones & Lonzo Jackson describe themselves as constant travelers, and before coming to Austin, they lived in both New York and London. For the shop, they bring back treasures from all over the world (including New York, Tokyo, London and Amsterdam) to create a unique, global-chic world inside their storefront. Seriously, when I am in Nannie Inez, I feel like I am in an exotic, faraway place.
How interesting that even familiar items look new and different to me in this space! Nannie Inez incorporates work from local Austin artists like ceramicist Keith Kreeger, designer Alyson Fox, and embroidery & crewel designer Kate Hersch from August Morgan. The shop is named after co-owner and Texan Deeyn's grandmother, whose passion for home, garden & cooking inspired Deeyn's own love of interior design.
If you are near Austin, you absolutely must treat yourself to a visit to this whimsical, modern shop. If you are too far away to visit, you can always check out their online shop. One of my new year's resolutions is to seek out home goods from small design shops and / or local artists rather than making impulse purchases of mass produced, widely available goods. Nannie Inez is going to be a great resource for me!
Thank you so much for the tour, Deeyn - and welcome back to Austin!
