About

Deyla Guadiana and Juan A Castro Sr. moved to Fort Worth from Mexico in the early 1960s, just after marriage. At a young age Deyla was a dreamer and a go-getter who aspired for something more. Starting at 14 years old, Deyla began making draperies and working with fabric in her family’s garage in Mexico. Juan Antonio Sr., despite being deaf and mute, overcame his disability and learned how to upholster from his uncle. The pair combined their artistic skills to create J&D Interiors, Inc. 

Deyla and Juan Antonio Sr. worked their way up, breaking through language barriers and building the company from the ground up with very little. When it came to designing, Deyla loved looking at projects as if they were a “skeleton where there was an unlimited amount with what you could do.” Juan Antonio Sr. always told her she was crazy by waving his hands in the air as she kept adding new projects and ideas to their life with three small children. Just a year after opening as business grew, she bought a second location, where J&D is today. In 1985, more space was added to the North of the building, and in 1996, even more space was added South of the original building. 

Today, with the leadership of Juan A Castro Jr., J&D Interiors, Inc. continues to be a family-run business, keeping the dream alive for generations to come.
