For 20 years The Arrangement has stood apart from others through its showcasing of refined, rustic, and inherently unique furniture and accessories crafted from artisans around the world.  We offer our clientele an opportunity to shop for one-of-a-kind, elegant pieces, rich in our native western heritage.  In the last 4 years, owner/chief, Katherine Snedeker, has sought to change what people think of western furniture – increasing the selection, offering eclectic designs, and continuously changing what is on the showroom floor.  A walk through the store is truly an amazing adventure.

The Best of the New West encompasses a variety of styles for everyone.  The Tuscan inspired Villa Sienna offers a look of carved rope edge stone tops on massive ribbons of forged iron, to the refined hand painted consoles with hammered copper inlays.  The Victorian styled, Cattle Baron line, reminiscent of Miss Kitty with elaborate fabrics and trims, is accompanied by inlaid wood tables and consoles aside massive mesquite pieces, from beds to dining tables. Our Elegant Rustic collection is extremely popular allowing you to lose yourself in comfort with sumptuous fabrics and distressed leathers -- a hard to resist combination of the rugged and luxurious.

This year The Arrangement introduces Mountain Modern: a sleeker, pared-down look that is distinctively about the mix of natural elements of wood, producing a more contemporary look. Its warm appeal comes from the use of recycled and reclaimed wood constructed into organic and distinctive furnishings designed for the present while inheriting a little from our past, and aimed at preserving our natural resources.

With two stores in both Dallas and Houston, and over 60,000 feet of showroom and warehouse, Katherine leads an incredible design team with the selection and experience to brilliantly design any project, from a single room to homestead, loft, or place of business.  We will create a place so outstanding that you will have a story to tell about the experience.

The Arrangement has a professional design program in place for architects and interior designers.  Please call for more information or view “The Design Services.”

The Chief Celebrating the beginning of their 20th year, owner Katherine Snedeker is hailed as The Chief by her peers, co-workers and customers.  Part of the celebration includes the astounding fact that she has more than quadrupled sales in the past four years. When Mrs. Snedeker took over the reins, she successfully changed the branding from “mom and pop” western to a niche of high-end and elegant rustic furnishings.  She expanded the collections and engaged in the philosophy to aim at the primary homebuyer, not just the vacation home.  Believing that the spirit of the west is a “style that is inclusive” she was determined to offer exquisite one-of-a-kind furnishings that would make people say “I love that” when they looked around at the choices they had made for their home and office.  The incredible showrooms, located in Dallas and Houston, are a testament to her vision. In continuing her commitment to reducing the impact on our natural resources, Katherine employs artisans from the regional West and all world points, offering a furniture mix ranging in reclaimed woods from England, Brazil, and the American West.  Old mesquite mission doors team up with antique oxen yokes to make office desks, consoles and dining tables.  Old Brazilian factories are torn down and the wood is recycled into living, dining and bedroom pieces.  Beams are harvested from castles, roots are dug up after the trees have been cut down and the result is a piece of furniture that has a story to tell as well as a part of history.

Combining a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the School of Visual Arts and a talent for creating unique home environments, Katherine’s expertise is blending styles together, not matching, but combining a fusion of elements that will create a very entertaining environment.  “It is the look that is very difficult to capture, because it must feel comfortable—livable.”  Keeping both the customer and the design team engaged, and the talent to design looks that are ‘custom tailored to fit” is what she partly attributes to her growth and keeps The Arrangement’s customers coming back.

The ability to order custom pieces has opened up a new market for designers and architects.  Likewise the commercial market has embraced the edited down look of the rustic woods teamed up with distressed leathers in a sleeker design line.  ‘Organic Contemporary’ or ‘Mountain Modern’ are the names that Katherine uses.  The new frontier for Ms. Snedeker is the commercial audience that is professionally seeking organic solutions for today’s marketplace.
