ABOUT FOR MERCY'S SAKE, INC.

What We Do

At for Mercy's sake, we hand paint high quality, children's furniture in our own original designs. We offer custom bedding and upholstered furniture in custom fabrics, for a totally unique room for your baby or child.  You may choose colors other than those shown, and we're happy to create custom furniture and designs.  When you want something really special, something that you won't see in your friend's house, that's when we can help.

Some of Hillary's designs are available on fine giclee reproductions and murals by Oopsy Daisy Fine Art for Kids and has been manufactured as rugs and digitized art.  Our most recent art license is to Wallies® to create a large mural very similar to Hillary's Princess Fairies castle design.

If you are interested in licensing our popular designs for bedding, gifts, fabric, or accessories, please let us know. 

The Artist
Hillary James is a native Austinite and is primarily self-taught. Since starting for Mercy's sake in 1996, a few months after her daughter's birth, she's had tremendous success.  Hillary has clients from Hawaii to England and would love to create something special for your favorite little one.

Her art is sold in fine children's boutiques nationwide as well as Neiman Marcus online.

The Namesake
Mercy is the namesake and inspiration of the company.   Being Hillary's daughter, she thinks it's perfectly normal for her room to be a different color every 3 months and her chest of drawers to have a different design on it almost weekly.  She's very proud of her little brother, Dalton, who keeps asking why we don't answer the phone "for Dalton's sake."

The Director of Everything Else
Cindy C. Blewett is Hillary's mother and Vice-President of for Mercy's sake, inc.  

for Mercy's sake has been featured (not advertised) in numerous print and electronic publications. We've also been asked to supply furniture for movies (Mr & Mrs. Smith, to name one) and television (HGTV), but most of the time they need the furniture in a week or two and since all our work is custom, we rarely have anything in stock. 

Thanks so much for your interest.
