Making Sense of Art – Featuring Brendan McKeon
Have you ever wondered what thoughts live behind a work of art? At Native Citizen’s Montrose Studio, we are thrilled to introduce our newest featured artist, Brendan McKeon. His evocative style and soulful pieces have already found a place in the homes of several native citizens in Houston. His work is not just decoration — it is an invitation to pause, feel, and connect. Brendan is a Houston-based artist and a graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University with a degree in Fine Arts. For him, art is more than formal training. It is the hundreds of one-of-a-kind pieces he has created (each born from a blank, meditated mind, and not all his artworks are the same either. He describes his artistic style as ever evolving, treating each blank canvas as a new opportunity. “I let my mind wander,” Brendan shares, “pulling different emotions from each session. To allow yourself to feel is the joy of art.” His hope is that his pieces become a companion for the space, something you see every day and continually discover in new ways. “I don't want to navigate the viewer into a defined message. Instead, create your own narrative and sense of it all — art allows connection to feeling.” In our conversation, we reflected on how social media has changed the way we experience art. It has made it more accessible but also more fleeting. We see art daily, often as a quick scroll and swipe moment. Inside the Native Citizen Interior Design Studio, we are reminded that art holds more power when experienced in-person, when you can see each meticulous brushstroke and feel the artist’s intention. We invite you to stop by our Montrose location to experience Brendan McKeon’s work firsthand. These are pieces, both big and small, meant not just to be seen but to be lived with. We are receiving painting every week. The Native Citizen studio displays a collection for all your home needs including furniture, rugs, plants, lights, and more.

Fresh Finds. Future Favorites. If you’re unfamiliar with Market, it's not your typical trade show. The Las Vegas Market is one of the largest and most influential furniture and home design conventions in the U.S.—a major event where brands debut their latest collections, and designers from across the country gather to scout the season’s top trends. This event is only held twice a year, and this year, Native Citizen brought our entire design team to Las Vegas to experience the buzz firsthand. Our mission? To preview what’s coming next, especially from our favorite partners, Four Hands. As one of the largest distributors of Four Hands, we’ve built a longstanding relationship with this brand. Their furniture reflects many of the values we bring into our design services: timeless silhouettes, quality craftsmanship, sustainable materials, and everyday livability. It’s the kind of furniture made to grow with your family—and stand up to even the furriest members of the household. We’re thrilled about what’s coming this season. You’ll likely spot some of these pieces on our studio floor this fall, especially as we continue expanding our studio space to bring even more inspiring setups and product showcases to life. Some of our standout favorites? Sculptural Dining Tables that feel both grounded and refined Versatile Accent Chairs with beautiful mixed textures Statement Light Pendants that elevate even the simplest spaces Thoughtfully Designed Desks—perfect for creating an inspiring home workspace (finally, we’re bringing in more!) New Bed Frames—which we’ve never carried on our floor before. We’re especially excited to finally showcase these in-studio for our clients to experience in person. Elegant Vanities that blend functionality with design-forward details Striking Kitchen Islands that become the heart of the home while offering extra style and storage What stood out most was Four Hands’ ability to deliver fresh, elevated designs at approachable price points—all without sacrificing the consistent quality we’ve come to expect from them. We’re already dreaming up ways to incorporate these into future projects—and maybe your home too.

Learn moreProject Spotlight: A Contemporary Western Haven in Memorial
At Native Citizen, we’re excited to share a recent project that brings together modern sophistication, personal story, and everyday livability—all within an 8,900 sq. ft. residence in Memorial. Designed for a tailored, masculine, contemporary look with warmth and functionality, this home is a beautiful expression of layered textures, personal artifacts, and curated styling that reflects how they truly live. Living with Intention To bring structure and flow to the open-concept first floor, we created a series of thoughtful zones that feel both luxurious and approachable. In the main living area, jewel-toned chairs and smoky glass end tables surround a classic linen sofa, anchored by a heavy, sculptural coffee table. Draped curtains draw the eye upward to soaring ceilings, while warm textures—leather, wood, amber glass—bring comfort and depth. Western-inspired touches tell the story of the homeowner’s roots: artwork in rich reds and browns, cowboy motifs, and a photograph of the family ranch in Waco add authenticity and meaning. A sculptural wood-and-stone bench, Santorini floor lamp, and collected abstract art round out the space with refined individuality. Kitchen Warmth & Family Flow The kitchen is designed for connection. An intimate two-chair vignette creates a quiet moment (perfect for a casual father-son meal over takeout) while leather counter stools line the island under a statement floral pendant. A custom installed clock adds character, and the breakfast area features the round wood-and-marble Bibianna dining table, surrounded by driftwood-inspired wall art for a grounded, organic feel. Goose’s Domain The pool house doubles as a playful extension of the home, centered around the family’s beloved dog, Goose. A roomy lounge chair, a coffee table filled with toys, and a custom “Goose” neon light make this space unmistakably his. Abstract art and bar-height stools continue the story of casual sophistication and color continuity. Elevated Entertaining At the foot of the grand staircase sits a custom 14-seat dining table, perfectly scaled for family gatherings. The space is anchored by a commissioned neutral-toned artwork and a favorite hand-selected rug from designer William Shoemaker, both balancing scale with softness. To the left of the entry, a dramatic study features near-ceiling bookshelves styled with intention. Every piece tells a story, from the rich wood grain of the desk to the character-filled desk chair. Upstairs Moments & Memories A bronze statue of Archangel Michael greets you at the staircase beneath an elaborate metal chain hanging pendant. Upstairs, a lounge and theater room showcase sports memorabilia and cherished family items. Jerseys, photos, and shadowboxes are all proudly displayed. The guest and children’s bedrooms are just as thoughtful. A soft, curved design defines the daughter’s room, while the son’s room features stone, metal, and a framed James Bond print. Even the nightstands double as shadowboxes to highlight treasured keepsakes. Stylish table lamps, bold artwork, and sculptural mirrors give each room a refined, hospitality-like finish. Every room in this home balances beauty with function, comfort with story. It’s a space designed for hosting, gathering, relaxing—and most importantly—living fully.
