NEWS & PRESS

Now that it’s almost time to outfit the shared spaces at Two Step Farm — a new kind of new home community in Montgomery County, Texas — we didn’t reach for the catalog. We hit the road.

Because Two Step Farm isn’t some copy-paste community. It’s a place with personality. Grit. Warmth. And a whole lot of heart. So instead of showroom furniture and off-the-shelf items, we went hunting for vintage and uniquely crafted home decor finds with soul. Pieces with stories. Items that have lived a little and were loved a lot.

That meant packing up the truck and heading straight to the one-and-only Round Top Texas Antiques Fair: a Texas-sized treasure hunt where the past is just waiting for a second chance.

Why Round Top, Texas?

If you’ve never been, Round Top is equal parts antique fair, cultural pilgrimage and full-blown Texas adventure. Stretching across 20+ miles of barns, tents, pastures and pop-ups, it’s where design lovers, pickers and curious wanderers from all over the country come to hunt for something real.

No big-box basics here. Just one-of-a-kind finds, history-soaked heirlooms and unexpected gems that practically holler, “Take me home!”

Finding pieces with a past (and a future)

After a few long (and let’s be honest, dusty) days, we hauled home trailers full of charm. Here are just a few of our favorite finds and how they’ll add texture and personality to life at Two Step Farm:

Stained glass with soul

First up: a stained glass window rescued from the demolition of an old church. With warm amber, icy blue and creamy white panes, it throws the kind of light you just feel. It’ll be installed in one of our community gathering spaces, where it can keep catching sunlight — and turning heads.

Saddle up to the bar

Next? A worn leather saddle, long retired from the trail but still full of swagger. It’s getting a second ride, this time as a barstool at Two Step Hall. Equal parts Texas tribute and conversation starter, it’s proof that the past still has plenty to say.

Cheers to old biergarten tables

And then there were the tables. Not just any tables: authentic German biergarten tables, weathered to perfection with foldable benches and green iron legs. We grabbed forty of them (yes, forty), and they’ll anchor our outdoor biergarten, making space for cold drinks, good tunes and conversations under the stars.

Why this matters

The spaces and amenities at Two Step Farm are meant to feel real. Lived-in. Layered. Just like a well-loved home, they deserve furnishings that come with stories, not just SKU numbers. Sourcing furniture for community amenities this way adds warmth, character and a little bit of Round Top magic. And it’s part of what will make this place feel different.
