Houston Is Finally Getting a CB2 

A few years ago, we wrote about our dream stores that would come to Houston. One of those shops was CB2, the edgier younger sibling of Crate & Barrel. 

Well, Houston, dreams do come true. 

On Wednesday, the home goods and furniture chain announced it is opening its third Texas location (the other two are in Dallas and Austin) at 2414 University Blvd #130 in Rice Village.  

“We see Houston as a city that celebrates creativity and culture,”  said Ryan Turf, president of CB2, in a statement, “something we identify with as a company and in our designs.”

Starting next month, shoppers can wander the 10,084-square-foot showroom, admiring the eclectically modern furniture, minimalist accessories , trendy and cozy decor (how many throw pillows can we fit onto our couch?), and more. Plus, you can consult with design specialists and do in-store pickup for online orders (i.e., no more worrying if your new coffee table is going to get damaged in the mail).

And, since Rice Village also just got a West Elm, if you never actually redecorated your house last year, or you already hate the makeover you did during quarantine, now’s your chance to embrace your inner-HGTV zealot and give your home an upgrade.

A native Austinite, Catherine Wendlandt spent almost six years in the Midwest for college and graduate school at the University of Missouri (MIZ). While there, she talked about Texas and missed queso so much she had to come back.  In school, she worked as a city government reporter and page designer for the Columbia Missourian, a communications intern at a local jazz company, a food editor and later the managing editor at Vox Magazine, and a research assistant for the Association of Health Care Journalists. She's worked in Missouri, Dallas, and Barcelona, Spain, and interned for Houstonia in 2018, when she fell in love with everything about the city, except maybe the traffic and mosquitos.  When she's not at work, you can find Catherine curled up reading a good book, out exploring local parks, taking lots of sunset pictures, and trying to pet every dog she sees (in spite of the allergies).
