Round Top Antique Week {Spring 10}: Leftovers in Brenham
For the past couple of years whenever I am visiting with people about Round Top Antique Week {or reading about it on the blogs} everyone mentions Leftovers in Brenham, Texas and that it is not to be missed. Brenham is only a hop, skip and a jump from Round Top ~ maybe 20 minutes. How and why could I have possibly not made this trip?? Never, ever again will I go to Texas without stopping into this fantastic store.
Here’s the scoop… Leftovers was opened in 1996 by owners Ed Fulkerson and Michael Breddin. The two men shop around the world and bring back to Texas an extensive assortment of old & new, eclectic, polished, other worldly merchandise and ideas. ** My friend Jan had a great little interview with the guys right HERE.
What had me mesmerized was the size & scale of the store which is housed in a simple metal barn. The interior is hardly simple, instead it boasts soaring ceilings, a state of the art kitchen that my coharts have mentioned no less than a thousand times since our visit, and it it even has a stone fireplace that would put most Colorado cabins to shame.
But what really left my mouth hanging open was the merchandising. It was stunning ~ I don’t know how else to describe it. These images will certainly be the ones that I review over and over in the next few months for BIG inspiration and ideas.
Thanks, Leftovers, for your visual beauty, and also for your kind service. I can hardly wait to visit again very soon!! xo,fancy

The first time I visited their store several years ago, I literally was stopped in my tracks. I mean it…I couldn’t, no I mean I didn’t want to move. It was the most visually stunning thing I had ever seen. I didn’t get to drop by this time and I regret it.

Great feature on Leftovers. I saw Ed at Marburger but didn’t make it to the shop this year. It is a real treat to visit, though and your photos are great!
