WESTERN WEAR THIS ISN’T YOUR OUTFIT’S FIRST RODEO Find fashions for the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo for a song! Quality boots, hats, jewelry and more that are enjoying a second debut!

By Claudia Richter

With the annual Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo upon us, the mad frenzy also comes along to find some snazzy outfits to wear to the shows and events on the grounds of Reliant Stadium. It is far more fun to look the part than it is to blend in with the crowd in unremarkable jeans and t-shirts.

No need to worry if you are not already the proud owner of these Houston rodeo must-haves. There are places right here in Houston; especially for you that specialize in authentic western wear that you can make yours for a fraction of full retail price.

One of the places I am talking about is Anew-U Ladies Resale Boutique!

The best way to describe it is to mention the upscale feel of all of the beautiful fashions for ladies with an exclusive boutique touch and atmosphere.

After speaking to the folks at Anew-U recently, I found out that they are packed to the rafters with a fantastic selection of everything you need for the rodeo, trail riding, or a trip to your favorite country spot.

Boots start at $30 and go up from there for those that are custom made. You can find suede jackets, wonderful embroidered items and everything in between. That includes accessories such as hats and silver, turquoise, and coral jewelry. Their selection just can’t be beat.

Cheryl Copperwheat, the owner of Anew-U has been in the business since 1993.

Her passionate outlook for fashion and good eye for the unique has made her store a popular and successful venture. You can trust her advice, especially for the rodeo events, as she has spent considerable time as a volunteer at the HLSR serving on the Carnival Ticket Sales committee.

Located in Tomball, at 11407 Spring Cypress Road, Suite 280, it is in a convenient locale for her Katy, Cypress, Fairfield, Spring, Magnolia, Tomball, and The Woodlands loyal customer and consignor base. Consignments are accepted RH-Mar 2014-P1.indd 8

daily and kept in pristine condition as closets are decluttered to make room for new purchases.

Sizes run the gamut with the likes of designers Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuttion, Chanel, Fendi, Coach, Prada, and many more for items other than rodeo wear.

Another fun rodeo stop, mainly for boots is The Texas Junk Company. If you are lucky you can outfit the whole family for a song, but what you see is what you get and women’s sizes 7–9 do not stay on the shelves for long. Located in Montrose, The Texas Junk Company carries all kinds of resale items, but seems to be most popular for boots.

Many customers find that a pair of boots that are already broken in and with little wear and tear is an attractive deal. Others appreciate the fact that they do not have the shiny new look of boots that you just picked up from the store and are being worn for the first time.

Most of the boots will set you back in the ballpark of $30-$70, and others that are custom made can run in the hundreds.

You can find boots for men, women, and children.

One catch is that the Texas Junk Company is only open on Friday and Saturday, from 11:00 am – 6:00 pm. It is located at 215 Welch Street and the best advice is to get there right when they open.

Now, if you have tickets to see Brad Paisley, Chris Young, Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, or many of the other top country acts, wouldn’t it be more fun to be sporting looks that fit the part?

Anew-U is open Monday thru Saturday from 10 am —–- –5:30 pm, and truthfully could be your new favorite place!

Staging a HOUSE

We all know that curb appeal is critical

when it comes to selling your home. Your yard should be trimmed; sidewalks and patios swept, and your front door should have a fresh coat of polyurethane or paint to create a great first impression. You should even go as far as purchasing a new doormat and plant a few red flowers in an elegant pot next to the front door.

But, there is one critical piece that most sellers miss and that is staging your home on the inside to sell. As a seller, you need to use your imagination to disconnect with your home so that you can see it through a potential buyer’s eyes. I can help you with this.

If your home is going to be vacant, I can also help you with staging the home for sale with furniture.

(See before and after photos) When staging to sell, whether the home is vacant or occupied, you don’t need to fill it with furniture. The furniture should be used as a prop rather than the reason why a home is purchased. A vacant home will take longer to sell and with this type of staging your home will sell faster and for more money.

It is important to take style and flow into account when choosing furniture and some homes will need more staging than others. For example, homes that are traditional in style leave little room for the imagination since it’s pretty obvious where the living and dining rooms are located. Where it gets tricky is with new construction homes or condos that have quirky layouts.

Before

After

Keep in mind that potential buyers will be walking Photos courtesy of Photographer Ron Johnson through your property so there needs to be an open 281-703-0800 path of furniture to help them get from room to room.

Too often homeowners position furniture in inconvenient locations i.e. walking into the back of a sofa as you enter the living area.

When we are discussing adding furniture to your house to sell, I always take into consideration whether it is Victorian, Modern, Craftsman or Farmhouse. Choosing furniture that will complement the architectural style and age of the home is vital. A small home will require smaller-scale furniture whereas a large home with an open floor plan and high ceilings will accommodate larger pieces.

Big pieces should remain neutral when adding furniture and furniture with clean lines is always the best choice. Avoid leather if possible since it might remind the buyer of her husband’s bachelor pad.

Too many pieces in a room can be great for living but not for selling. Floor space is equity and if you’re covering it up, you’re not going to get top dollar.

In most cases, all you need in a living room is a couch, chair, coffee table and end table – depending on the size of the room. Create conversation areas and usable spaces. If the floors are hardwood, add a rug to soften the space. When a fireplace is involved, try creating a focal point with seating to draw the eye into the room.

If you are interested in having drawings created for your listing, I also have access to an interior designer who can make drawings of your home like the one’s on the left and listed here.
