My family has been in the furniture industry for 35+ years. We originated in Keller in the traditional furniture market– when “Rustic” furniture was introduced, we switched over and transitioned away from traditional furniture.

What truly sets Into the West apart is the McDonald family’s dedication to making each customer feel like part of their extended family. Visitors to the store can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with a working bar, fresh chocolate chip cookies baked by Mimi, and the opportunity to catch up on the latest sports games. The McDonalds invite locals and visitors alike to drop by, even if they’re not in the market for furniture, to experience their warm hospitality.

The dilapidated two-story building on the north side of Fort Worth hardly looked like the ideal spot for a boutique furniture store when Megan McDonald first drove by. The metal awning was falling down, the floors had been ripped up and the ceiling was rotted. “It was a dump,” admits McDonald, whose parents, Natalie and Jack, own Into the West Design.

Made in Fort Worth. Yep, that sure has a nice ring to it. From clothing and accessories to snacks and other fun finds, we’ve rounded up 19 things homegrown in Cowtown.

While some of these brands have branched out beyond our city, one thing’s for sure — there’s some major inspiration happening around these parts.
