About Me

Hi, I'm Julia Fischer, founder and owner of Shangri-La Lane, a creative home, gift, and DIY boutique I started in 2011.

What began with a passion for transforming old furniture has grown into a welcoming space filled with unique finds, artisan-made goods, and creative inspiration.

I love helping people discover something special for their homes and bringing people together through hands-on DIY workshops. Whether you're an experienced maker or just getting started, I hope you'll leave feeling inspired and excited to create!

A Little More About Me

Over the years, my furniture and creative work has been featured in Country Living, Fresh Style, MaryJane's Farm, This Old House, and WHAS11 ABC. What began as a creative outlet in 2011 has become more than I ever imagined.

Giving back is just as important to me. I serve as Board Secretary for Individual & Family Support Network (IFSN) and volunteer as a foster for Cavalier Rescue USA.

Whether creating, teaching, or helping others, I believe in connection, kindness, and a little creativity.

Welcome to Shangri-La Lane—come shop, learn, create, and stay awhile.

A Look Back at Where it All Began

In 2019, VoyageDallas featured my journey from painting furniture in my home office to opening Shangri-La Lane's first retail location in Texas.

After 17 years in Texas, I've returned to my hometown of Santa Rosa, California. Much has changed, but my love for creativity, community, and helping others remains the same.
