🏡✨ The Rustic Warehouse in Rockwall is more than a furniture store—it’s a story of faith, passion, and legacy.

When Mattie faced unexpected loss, she leaned on her lifelong love of design and a promise from God: “I will give you the store of your dreams.” What started with just faith has now grown into a thriving business she runs alongside her husband, Al Vivo.

Together, they’ve built a space where timeless quality meets cozy, creative design—from American-made upholstery and custom furniture to reclaimed wood treasures and statement pieces that last a lifetime. 🌿🛋️

At The Rustic Warehouse, every item is crafted with care, made to be passed down like the heirloom pieces of generations past. 💛

👉 Visit them in Rockwall to experience furniture, faith, and family woven together beautifully.

Unlike many print publications that use “Best of” or “Reader’s Choice” accolades as mere marketing tools to sell advertising, the City Lifestyle Best in Class Business seal is earned—not paid for. This recognition is not a popularity contest; it’s a distinction awarded only to businesses that meet our elite standards of excellence, professionalism, and community impact. We carefully vet the top three businesses in each industry before selecting a partner, ensuring they embody the values we stand behind.

To qualify, businesses must demonstrate four key characteristics:

1. People Over Profit – We look for servant leaders who prioritize relationships and meaningful community impact above short-term gains.

2. Knowledgeable & Experienced – Our partners are established experts in their fields, with at least one year in business, all required licenses, certifications, and insurance.

3. Quality Work Backed by Integrity – We only work with trusted, LOCAL 4–5-star businesses known for delivering high-quality work with honesty and transparency.

4. Active Community Engagement – We seek businesses that are actively involved in their community and share our commitment to connecting with city leaders, professionals, and residents.

The Best in Class seal reflects more than excellence—it reflects trust, values, and a commitment to making our communities stronger.
