A NEW KIND OF BORDER PATROL WE HAVE DESIGN ON THE MIND THIS MONTH … WE'RE REFURBISHING Holt Haynsworth of the eponymous photography studio wants to frame you … in the best possible way. Tucked between Bistro 31 and Hadleigh's in Highland Park Village, his new shop Haynsworth Frames stocks everything including over-the-top Swarovski crystal collectibles, sleek sterling-silver designs, offerings from Weingeroff and The Julie Knight Collection, and, come November, jewelry-caliber designs from Thorson Hosier, as well as custom Lucite frames, and nontraditional frame sizes for professional portraits. But his real point of distinction may be an ability to discern exactly what frame will work best with a particular image and, in turn, seamlessly meld with the look of client's home, room and right on down to the furniture said frame will rest upon. Going forward, Haynsworth plans to bring back unique offerings from his travels around the world, ensuring your once-in-a-lifetime moments get a one-of-a-kind treatment. Open noon to 8 pm Monday through Saturday, and Sunday by appointment. 74 ½ Highland Park Village, 214.559.3730. Amy Adams DUNCAN, ANN AND LOUIS … FRAMING OUR FRIENDS… LEARNING CALLIGRAPHY … AND GETTING STONED. THERE SHE GOES AGAIN L eslie Pritchard cherishes many things — rescue cats, fine wine, the Black Keys, cowboy boots — but massproduced furniture isn't one of them. To entwine her affection for custom creations with a desire to save cast-aside pieces, Pritchard opened Again & Again in 2005, a hub for home furnishings worth resurrecting. Now she's added another location to her repertoire. While the newest storefront on Riverfront shares the same name as its precursor, it features a showroom of already refurbished, ready-to-go pieces that flows into a warehouse filled with sofas, chairs, consoles, nightstands and headboards still begging to be transformed. Beyond the entrance lies a fully stocked fabric bar with swatches and paint samples for those needing something concrete to match what lives inside Pritchard's marvelous mind. Meanwhile, at the Howell Street destination, shoppers will find a consignment jackpot, along with displays of traditional, transitional contemporary and antique furniture that have been completely restored — a tool Pritchard uses to show customers what can be done with a little effort and imagination. "I take something that is an ugly duckling and turn it into couture furniture," she explains. "Here, love is our special ingredient." Those wishing to buy old and make new can visit either Again & Again any day of the week (hours vary). Just ask for Leslie … or look for the big smile, cowboy boots and cats. 1202 Riverfront and 141 Howell St., 214.746.6300; againandagain.com. Savannah Christian A CLASS NOT TO BE DISMISSED TILE ME UP , TILE ME DOWN Designed by designers for designers, the new 6,400-square-foot Daltile Design Studio includes five room vignettes, bathrooms, shower, kitchen and fireplace to help visualize combinations of tile and stone, as well as a Star Wars armory of tech tools. Check out the floor visualizer and kitchen renovation simulator for inspiration — choose the type of light in your current space to see the color it casts on different textures, or let the interactive screen show you what knobs, finishes, backsplashes and floors work best. Other areas are set up like a working design firm, with communal tables and a library space with loose tile samples. Newness to note: Larger-format floor tile (24" by 48") from the NEXT collection, mini marble mosaics and subtly iridescent subway tiles; oil-rubbed bronze, gilded copper and forged steel tiles. The massive light installation of dangling tiles alone merits a visit. 1502 Slocum St., 214.760.1115. Savannah Christian "Kids are intimidated by realism. Adults are intimidated by modernism." So says Oil and Cotton co-owner Kayli House Cusick who, along with partner Shannon Driscoll, welcomes anyone who's ever wanted to explore the space between academic art, hand craftsmanship and human ingenuity to their Bishop Arts storefront. In any given month, you'll find beginner-friendly workshops for adults on figure drawing, copper-plate printmaking, embroidery, calligraphy, basket weaving, jewelry making, silkscreen printing and more, along with weekly classes geared specifically for tots to teens. Everything is taught by professionals with serious cred — and, in an effort to up the ante, the pair recently formed a collaboration with the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design. On Saturday, October 13, artist Pat Hickman, recipient of two National Endowment of the Arts grants, will head to Oil and Cotton after her UNT lecture to conduct a workshop entitled "Inner Membranes: Gutwork," where students experiment and discover ways of working with — there's no pretty way of saying this — hog intestines as a skin membrane. (A quick glimpse at images from Hickman's current Dartmouth exhibit, "Traces of Time," proves the results can be breathtaking.) Cusick, a piano teacher and children's arts curriculum writer, and Driscoll, an arts conservator, also house the occasional pop-up shop, and sublet space to local furniture maker Kyle Hobratschk — all a testament to their "make do with what you've got" ethos. 837 W. 7th St., 214.942.0474; oilandcotton.com.
