In the Shop
Written By Rich Helmer

Experience the beauty of tradition and artisan craftsmanship with our new video tour of Milagros Rústicos, located in the heart of Dana Park. From the fountain outside to one-of-a-kind treasures within, see why our showroom is unlike any other.

Step Inside Milagros Rústicos

We’re excited to share a new video that brings the spirit of Milagros Rústicos to life.

Filmed on a hot summer day in Mesa, this elegant, slow-paced tour captures what we’ve always believed: that shopping for furniture should feel more like discovering a piece of history than browsing a catalog.

From the gentle sound of the fountain outside to the moment you walk through our rustic front doors, Milagros Rústicos is more than a store—it’s an experience.

Nestled inside the Village Square at Dana Park, our showroom is a curated escape into handcrafted living. Every corner holds something unique. Solid wood beds and dining tables made from mesquite, parota, and pine. Colorful handblown glass from Mexico. Iron lighting, textiles, and artwork you won’t find anywhere else.

Whether you’re designing a home, refreshing a space, or simply browsing for inspiration, our doors are open—and what’s inside is timeless.

Watch the video below, then come visit us in person.

Milagros Rústicos — unique, authentic, unforgettable.

Rich Helmer

Originally from the Chicago suburb of Elgin, Illinois, Rich Helmer's family headed west to Arizona just before his final years of high school. Rich became instantly fascinated with the desert southwest. Its renowned grandeur and mysterious energy would profoundly influence his later work, as would the endless beaches of Mexico and Southern California. Rich's sonic creativity emerged at an early age, as did his unorthodox approach to artistic ventures.

As a primarily self-taught guitarist and songwriter, Rich has never been one to live by a handbook. However, after devoting most of his life to music, he abandoned his true passion and decided to seek a more "realistic" vocation. The decade-long diversion is something that Rich still occasionally laments, but he also knows that the past is just that - the past. Fortunately, Rich decided to dust off his vintage Telecaster and pursue his love of photography, leaving him with little time for regrets.

Rich dares us to consider what possibilities may lie along the path less traveled with both humility and purpose. Whether provocative, soul-stirring, inspiring, disconcerting, or some combination of these, the overarching theme in Rich's work is that, for him, the lens is much more than a curved piece of glass; it is a vehicle through which viewers can experience worlds that might have otherwise remained hidden.

Join his journey.
