About

My name is Julia Fischer and I live in the historic district of downtown McKinney, TX. I’m married, have two awesome children, and four lovable rescue dogs. I’m an entrepreneur and small business owner.  

I also volunteer much of my time fostering dogs for Tzu Zoo Rescue, and The Cavalier Rescue.

About My Brand

I have a boutique style shop that caters to the creative home. Shangri-La Lane is focused on interior items such as home décor, DIY products, furniture paint, and vintage furniture pieces. I also provide DIY tutorials and classes.

Iron Orchid Designs

I’ve been an authorized stockist for Iron Orchid Designs (aka IOD) since 2016, when the line was developed to change the DIY and up-cycling industry. Their innovative products can be used in numerous ways on a variety of mediums, such as furniture, walls, tile, wood, fabric and more. You can easily transform the look of anything using their Transfers, Décor Stamps, or Moulds.

DIY Tutorials

I teach people how to use all of my DIY products through one-on-one instruction and group workshops. For anyone that is not local, I have provided lots of tutorials on my website and am always available to answer questions via phone or email.

I started Shangri-La Lane in 2011 as a home-based furniture refinishing business. In 2012 I moved into a Mercantile, and I recently added an online shop to reach even more people.
