I hope you love your new home! As a new resident of the H-Town area, you may be interested in my information on where to look for furniture and more.
Furniture
If you head north on Fondren from I-59, you will find a lot of different furniture stores. I call this section, up to Westheimer, “Furniture Row.” You will also find rug, fabric, and lighting stores in that area.
There is also a Star Furniture nearby (see map below) which IMHO has the best quality-for-the-price furniture around. There is also a Star Furniture Clearance Outlet where you may get a great deal.
If you like modern/contemporary furniture, then check out Cantoni.
And don’t forget the iconic GALLERY FURNITURE in Houston, which is an awesome furniture buying experience and they can usually deliver on the same day! (Read about owner “Mattress Mack” who is a Houston icon.)
APPLIANCES
I have purchased several appliances (refrigerators, ovens, TVs) online at ABT Electronics. They have different levels of delivery service, depending on what you need. Watch out for large refrigerators and getting them through your door! I had to have a handyman remove my door in order to get my last refrigerator inside, and it’s just a regular refrigerator.
There are also Appliance Outlets all over Houston, just check around on Google Maps.
HOME DECOR
I like to make home decor collections on Amazon (helps with staging). Sometimes you can mix and match, like yellow and gray, or navy and gold:
I also help people with “budget decorating” where you can make your home look great using inexpensive touches and items you already have. You can see a few examples of how I transform homes from my Staging Samples page. Just contact me for help.
Need Help Buying or Selling a Home in Katy?
Buying or selling a home is a major financial decision. You deserve an experienced local Realtor who knows the Katy-area neighborhoods, schools, property taxes, flood risks, market conditions, and all the little details that can make a BIG difference in your decision.
I’ve been helping Katy-area home buyers and sellers since 2009, and I’ve been recognized as a Five Star Realtor every year since 2010. More importantly, I’ll give you my frank opinion, point out things you may not know to investigate, and look out for YOUR best interests throughout the entire transaction.
Sheila Cox, Five Star Realtor since 2010 and creator of this entire website (KatyHomesForSaleTX.com) so you have proof she’s a local expert. 🙂
Why Work With Sheila?I’m not going to sell you on a house or neighborhood just because it’s beautiful, popular, or new. My job is to help you make a smart real estate decision. That means looking beyond the listing photos and helping you evaluate things like school zoning, flood risk, property taxes, resale considerations, neighborhood differences, inspections, repairs, contract deadlines, and the dozens of other details that can affect your purchase or sale. Sometimes the most valuable thing I can tell you is, “I wouldn’t buy this house.” Please read the list of my value-added services for home buyers |
