HISTORY:
In 1997, shortly after graduating from ACU with a degree in industrial technology (with an emphasis in engineering and design), Bex opened the original Relics Home. The eclectic store offered furniture, accessories, and one-of-a-kind art and antiques she discovered on her international travels.
Bex purchased a 12,000 square foot historic landmark building in 1999. After extensive renovations, she expanded the retail showroom and her interior design business, incorporating Relics unique home furnishings and showcasing her personal style of mixing the raw with the refined.
In 2003, Bex took on high profile clients based in San Francisco where she was able to explore her passion for design even further. She commuted between the West Coast and West Texas developing products for globally conscious nonprofit organizations, and designing interiors for private clients including Robert Redford. She focused on the use of reclaimed and recycled materials in her designs for law firms, urban residences, vacation homes, and events for corporate clients such as the Sundance Channel and Lexus Hybrid Living.
In 2008 Bex expanded the Relics Home product line and built the Texas-based Design Center, a resource for interior designers offering a broad selection of custom home furnishings for design clients. Shortly after, she met East Texas native, David Hale, who was flying C-130's for the U.S. Air Force, and they joined forces.
Bex was cast for the hit HGTV series, Design Star, and was on the show's seventh season in 2012. The experience opened up a world of opportunities, causing Bex and David to reevaluate what they really wanted out of life. Rather than pursue a career in television, or maintain the demanding retail store and design center, Bex and David chose to focus on family. They moved to Wimberley, Texas where they always envisioned living a sweet, small town life. They started their family and created a luxury vacation rental, Relics Ranch in 2013, and relocated Relics Home to its current location.
