About B. Viz

B.Viz Design, owned by designer, Rebecca Vizard, is operated from Locustland Plantation in St. Joseph, Louisiana. Her studio overlooks a pecan orchard, cotton field and Lake Bruin, a remnant of the Mississippi River. Her antique textile pillows are lovingly stitched by local Delta women. Rebecca searches all over the world for 17th, 18th, and early 19th century tapestry, embroidery, filigree, damask and ecclesiastic textile fragments.

B.Viz custom pillow designs are meticulously created. Rebecca sometimes holds a piece for years before finding the antique trim with the perfect patina. The clean lines of her designs emphasize the actual textile, showing the talented hands of the past. Each custom pillow is truly a work of art.

BVIZ design launches a new creation.
Saving the planet, one beer at a time.

St. Joseph, LA – Worried your interior design is a bit too serious? Looking for the perfect conversation piece that’s also functional? For a guest house, play room, game room, bars, or wherever desired, Becky Vizard introduces the “Beer-de-lier”.

The “Beer-de-lier”, a chandelier made out of bottle tops, brightens any room with kitschy elegance.

As for saving the planet, one beer at a time, Vizard hires local teenagers to motivate them. Also, trying to teach them that there are other ways of life besides welfare in this heavily impoverished area of high unemployment. According to Vizard, “We have a lot of poverty in our small town and a lot of trash. If we can teach the people in poverty to make things out of the trash, we can change some lives and keep our landfills from over flowing. It’s a win/win and brings a smile to everyone who sees a beer-de-lier.” Vizard seems to be an entrepreneur with a big heart, willingly and creatively thinking of ways to give people jobs.

After moving the playhouse, a historic cottage from the family plantation, Vizard didn’t want to alter the original wood in the main room. Trying to think of ways to brighten the room and add color, Vizard came up with the idea to embellish a traditional light fixture with a kaleidoscope of bottle cap colors. The first bottle cap chandelier was created with the help of family members over the 4th of July two summers ago. The finished product turned out to be just what the playhouse needed, a bit of color and a lot of fun. Friends who visit the lake would marvel over Vizard’s new creation and beg to have one.

“Save your bottle tops!” Vizard constantly reminds everyone. Friends bring her bottle tops. Restaurants and bars save their bottle tops. Vizard even admits getting boxes of bottle caps for Christmas presents.

Now production is underway. Pricing varies depending on the size.
