Based in Houston, ReCoop Designs came about by chance. After a four-year stint in the Marines, Cooper Meaders earned a degree in biology. While getting his master’s, he found a part-time job at New Living, an eco-friendly design studio, where he worked in the low- and zero-VOC paint and finishes department. With access to an assortment of equipment and timber, he started making a few pieces and placing them on the showroom floor just to see what would happen – and they all sold. He soon put his schooling aside to focus on crafting handmade creations of his own design. He took what he learned about sustainable, green living practices at New Living and applied it to his company, ReCoop Designs.

Texas artist, Paul Meyer, is inspired by the expanse of his West Texas surroundings and the unconventional materials he uses in his paintings. “It comes from nature,” Paul says. “My love for vast, open spaces like the deserts of the Southwest and places I’ve lived. I am drawn to earthen colors. I use a lot of vibrant, saturated, primary colors, but they usually get washed over with cement, mortar and plaster. It all starts with materials,” he says. “I never approach a new piece from the standpoint of making art. I am mostly fascinated by the materials and exploring all of the various ways they can be incorporated into the process of painting.”

The story of Leftovers Antiques begins in 2003 when co-owners Ed Fulkerson and Michael Breddin realized they shared a love of antiques from an early age. They opened their 17,000-SF store, located just west of Brenham, Texas, in 2006.

In the business for more than 15 years, Michael says, “Time flies when you are having fun. Every day is an adventure when we are traveling and hunting for whatever might catch our fancy,” he adds. “One of the things we love about what we do is being able to explore the backcountry of Europe. Whether it is following the little old man we just met to his barn or following the tip of a friend of a friend of a friend in France, it is like having the thrill of the chase inside you all of the time.”
