Ranch Houses
For those drawn to the beauty of nature, Catrina's Ranch House Designs define the rustic side of casual elegance. Reminiscent of the great lodges of an earlier era, the artisan's touch is evident in hand-hewn tops, raised panel molding, gentle distressing, and graceful shapes in forged iron. The timeworn feel of supple leather, mixed with a rich palette of textures, Kilim patterns, and soft chenilles, serves as an invitation to relax in the comfort of familiar surroundings.
Visiting Catrina’s Interiors in Boerne, San Antonio is like going on a treasure hunt – you never know what you’re going to find, but you know it’s going to be well worth the search. “There’s an abundance of merchandise,” says Catrina Kendrick, award-winning designer and entrepreneur. “The look in the store changes day by day.” And what a look it is. Every corner of the 7500 square foot main building is brimming with one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, hand-forged chandeliers, artwork, tableware, tribal rugs and eye catching accessories from all over the world.
Ranch Houses
Catrina Kendrick grew up in the furniture business, working as a designer and buyer for stores in Texas and Colorado. It was during her recovery from a broken neck in 1998 that she decided to strike out on her own, opening Catrina’s Closet, a used clothing and furniture store, in Camp Wood, Texas. She now specializes in rare architectural pieces, fine art paintings, antler chandeliers, bronze statues, scrolled iron work, imported rugs, antiques and other exquisite accessories.
Kendrick is a whirlwind, dealing with staff, taking calls, showing a visitor through some of the dozen or so display rooms at her showroom, and talking the whole time about the journey that brought her back to Boerne and the passions that fuel her jam-packed life. “I work seven days a week. That’s what it’s taken to build this business.” She’s drawn as well to charities close to her heart – the new battered women’s shelter being built in Boerne, the American Cancer Society, the Cattle Baron’s Ball, and the San Antonio Zoo.
She shares the wealth in other ways, never forgetting how she started out and paying it forward by mentoring other women with business dreams of their own. “I want to be the message to women that they can do it too. Start small and persevere. Find something you enjoy and diligently work at it. Don’t give up and don’t look back.”

Catrina's Interiors will carry on the tradition of providing the ultimate in customer service, especially Kendrick’s signature custom designs that allow clients to help create the perfect look. “They can select their own fabrics and styles so that their choices are unique and fit their home décor.” They can also take home whatever they see at the store, unlike some other high-end furniture stores that make you wait six to eight weeks while they order a sofa you saw on the showroom floor. “Anything you see here, you can buy. We won’t make you wait.”
San Antonio interior design and western furniture store, Catrina's Interiors are renowned for their award winning custom western furnishings and Texas hill country designs. Their stunning leather and rustic furniture is always beautifully accented with fine art paintings, antler chandeliers, bronze statues, scrolled iron work, imported rugs and other glamorous accessories.
Ranch Racks Keep Rolling
Others need Catrina’s expert advice on site. A design call involves a visit to the home or business to photograph the space, then sketching out designs for suggested pieces. “We price it all out in a list, room by room, so they know exactly what they’re spending.” There is no additional charge for custom designs either, whether it’s one piece or a whole room.
Catrina is mindful of the rarefied image custom furniture has as being inaccessible to the average consumer. Not true, she says. We save money here. Other stores might mark up an item three times with freight. We don’t do that. People love to fix up their homes, but these are hard times and we appreciate that. We give them great value here.”
