In the Fairmount neighborhood in Fort Worth\u2019s Near Southside, deep in its sea of bungalows and a few blocks from any other retailers or eateries, is an antique shop that\u2019s become a go-to resource for home renovators and DIY interior decorators searching for one-of-a-kind furnishings, fixtures, knickknacks, and cast-iron bathtubs (yes, bathtubs). The Old Home Supply, which occupies all four corners of the intersection at West Jefferson and College\u00a0avenues, opened 25 years ago and is filled to the brim with decorative gems. Shopping here is a veritable scavenger hunt for home d\u00e9cor treasures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And a scavenger hunt is precisely what we went on when we met up with the interior decorator, author, blogger, former HGTV star, influencer, and Fairmount resident Grace Mitchell at this jewel of an antique store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though she\u2019s been an active blogger since 2012 (check out her site astoriedstyle.com<\/a>) \u2014 which led to gaining interior design clients, which led to hosting her own HGTV show, \u201cOne of a Kind\u201d \u2014 Mitchell recently took her writing to the world of the printed press and released a handsome and very comprehensive book,\u00a0Storied Style.\u00a0In the book, Mitchell reveals her process and philosophy behind home design, incredible stories of her clients, and even some of her own personal anecdotes.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0a book\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0all at once personal, reflective, and approachable. And pages filled with her interior design work are jaw-dropping. Whether one calls her tastes eclectic, farmhouse, boho or midcentury modern, it\u00a0ultimately creates\u00a0an atmosphere\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0personal, warm, inviting, and, most importantly, tells the stories of her clients.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a real getting-into-someone\u2019s-brain\u00a0for me when I\u2019m working with a client,\u201d Mitchell says. \u201cI\u2019m trying to figure out what you love, what your history is, how that affects how your home looks, and how it should feel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Old Home Supply serves as a perfect place to gather pieces of that story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At this store made up of multiple warehouses, like a homing device, Mitchell is able to lock in on something hidden within what one might call clutter to discover a singular and exceptional item. And she sees potential in\u00a0almost everything. A stained-glass window with a missing section or\u00a0a wooden\u00a0door with a crescent moon carved out of it. The throughline: They have character, and you\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0find them anywhere else.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMy career started because people were trying to copy photos of\u00a0spaces\u00a0they thought they liked but wound up hating and didn\u2019t know why,\u201d Mitchell says. \u201cOr they had hired someone who put a lot of pretty things in their house, but none of it really felt like home to them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Mitchell\u2019s Seven Questions, which you can find in her book,\u00a0she\u2019s\u00a0able to get to the meat of the matter and create spaces that, well, feel like home.\u00a0Believe it or not, it might be a feeling some have never felt about\u00a0a space. And as we look for a remedy\u00a0to\u00a0such a problem, on this day, Old Home Supply is\u00a0a great place\u00a0to start. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything old is much better quality. When you buy old,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0something that could last a lifetime.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
