This Weekend: Explore the Secret Warehouse of One of Houston’s Most Sought-After Restaurant Designers

You’ve eaten at Nancy’s Hustle, Tiny Champions, Better Luck Tomorrow, Milton’s and Lee’s Den. Now, you can explore the private warehouse of the design firm that created those spaces!


Garnish Design is opening its 5,000-square-foot warehouse collection to the public for one weekend only, Nov. 9-10. Expect to discover everything from and to antiques to ironwork from the collection and curations of the in-demand firm. Plus, own a piece of Houston restaurant history with memorabilia from some of the city’s most beloved eateries, such as Alice Blue, Eau Tour and Local Foods.

While there, take advantage of bevs from Marfa Spirit Co, 8th Wonder Brewery and Cruiser Coffee and bites from Boo’s Burgers while perusing the expansive collection of barware, custom and vintage chairs, light fixtures, vintage cookware globes and maps.

Founded in 2020, Garnish Design is well known in Houston’s hospitality industry for bringing to life the design for beloved concepts. With more than 20 years of experience, Garnish Design owner Brittany Vaughan has always had a passion for creating bespoke spaces at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

Visitors must RSVP to receive the address to the warehouse.
