The Round Top Antique truly is not only a great place to shop, but also a wonderful place to find decorating inspiration. You’ll find things here you won’t find anywhere else. And the creativity with the displays is truly magical.
Let’s take the display below. Note how the gold mirrors and the light pine chest pop against the dark wall. Also note those gorgeous grainsack pillows on the daybed! Wow, wow, wow. 
I love the gray wash on the pine table in the foreground too. I also want to point out the scale of the items on the tables. They are very large and don’t get lost. Try going super big next time you put something on a table. Another theme from Round Top is using garden things indoors. The large urn and weather vane are examples of bringing the outdoors in.
Just look at those yummy lamps above. I love the horse and the angel too, and the grainsacks… See how everything looks so unique and not like something everyone has in their home? Try to be creative and add elements that are not mass produced to your home. Below there are some gorgeous crystal wall sconces. I also love that pediment on the wall. The burlap table cover is nicely done.
Here’s my friend Amy of Brocante Treasures. She’s a doll! She’s lived in France, and currently resides in London. She had a booth at Marburger this time. Here she is with her adorable sister.
I’m still surprised when I hear a big name designer exclaim how shocked he is to have found (fill in the blank) out in a field in Texas. It may be news to him, but not to us. Some of the best stuff ends up here, like those alabaster lamps. They are probably vintage, but note that they changed out the old shades to new drum shades. That bench! I <3 that so much.
Round Top has venues all over Round Top, all the way down to Warrenton. Some people think the Round Top Antique Show is just in one place. It isn’t. It’s spread over miles and miles, and miles.
And the coolest booth award goes to….
Well I’m not sure who owns this booth, but I found it to be delectable. Did you notice the iron bed turned bench?
Want to see more? You can see more HERE and HERE.
I lived in Texas for 35 years and didn’t even know about Round Top. Now I am in Colorado and definitely plan to get there.
I want those crystal sconces!!! I am looking for some sconces for my dining room. I don’t need them, but I WANT them! It might be worth me coming down, and then shipping whatever I buy home. Oh the struggle is REAL!!! As always, thanks for a great and entertaining post.

That last booth is GORGEOUS!! Wonder if hubby would replace our back door with one like that…
Love the iron daybed. Do you know where I can get one?
All the pretties to look at and want… All drool worthy … looks like they have ton’s of vintage to look at and buy!!
Would love to get there one day! Thanks for sharing!
This looks like it was a wonderful place to just walk around and soak in all the antique fabulousness! I was especially interested in your comments and pics about featuring large pieces and “garden” pieces indoors. I love that look.
Wow,I would love to go to Roundtop,it looks fabulous.
I have seen it on HGTV Fixer Upper.
Looks like a great antique show! Would love to go to it someday… sigh! 🙂 You are right, that last booth is great, love the bed turned bench!
I am so jealous. I would love to go to the Round Top Antique Show sometime. I have been to several big Antique shows around the country but it really looks like Round Top has some unique stuff. Thanks for sharing the ideas you gleaned from your visit with Share Your Style
I have been planning a trip for forever! I want to go so badly! I lived in TX for 4 years and I am kicking myself that I never went!
I drive by there on my way home from southern Texas. Looks like I have been missing out. What are the dates to go to Roundtop, is it only once a year? Thanks Anita for the tour, love your web sight.
Cynthia, it’s in the spring and fall. The second two weeks of September and the last two weeks of March usually is a good time to come. You can always good Round Top Antique show dates Spring 2018 for what is open. Every venue has a different schedule and this fall, several venues changed their dates, so it’s best to check online to verify they are open before you come.
Wow love the little shop of items you have shared Thank you and God bless
