Step into an Austin home where art and craftsmanship meet — a creative trove filled with original Sterling Heraty artworks, architectural watercolors, and mid‑century to early 20th‑century furniture that’s as sculptural as the paintings themselves.

You’ll find Atlas Furniture Co. walnut bedroom pieces, Victorian high‑back piano stool, antique humidor table, and a watercolor collage celebrating San Antonio’s King William Historic District alongside hundreds of art books on painting, design, and visual theory. Every corner tells a story — from a Laughing Buddha to hand‑drawn architectural studies and vintage wicker seating that feels straight out of a painter’s porch.
