How To Pull Off A Well-Collected Home Without Clutter
While I consider myself an aspiring minimalist when it comes to my home, I also feel right at home in an antique mall. The collections of Depression glassware, vintage hats and antique chairs really get me going, but how do I exercise my love of these things and avoid my number one enemy: clutter? This […]
5 Tips For Choosing A Wallpaper You Won’t Get Tired Of
I have enough difficulty picking a pattern I won’t get tired of for my clothes (hence all of the stripes in my closet), so I can only imagine how nerve wracking it can be to pick a wallpaper. How do you make sure it’s not something you’re going to get tired of? And how do […]
How To Make Over Your Bathroom When You Live In A Rental
Of all the spaces in a house, the bathroom is the one that intimidates me the most. The furnishings and finishes just seem so permanent, it can be hard to know how to incorporate your personal style – especially in a rental. That’s why I was so impressed by this Brooklyn rental makeover by Megan Pflug […]
How to Decorate a Family-Friendly Home Without Sacrificing Style
Decorating your home to suit your tastes and lifestyle is often a journey in itself, but once you throw in a significant other and children into the mix, the task can feel a lot more complicated. I personally don’t have children yet, so I called on Consort Design founders Mat Sanders and Brandon Quattrone to […]
How to Make Your Home Look Like a Boutique
Duffy Stone is the interior designer behind so many of Austin’s most coveted boutiques, it’s no surprise the question she gets the most is “how do I make my home look like this?” If you’ve ever stepped foot in Olive, Esby or Dylan Wylde then you probably thought the same thing. When designing commercial spaces the […]
My Favorite Decor Trends of 2017 So Far
For some people, trends are a fun way to experiment and evolve their style; for others, they’re something to keep at arm’s length. Especially when it comes to homewares, which can be a larger investment than clothes or makeup, I want to be sure that I’m going to love my purchases for a long time. That’s why […]
Creating Our Dream Powder Room for the New Studio
In case you missed it, we broke ground on a new office space right before the holidays — well, new to us we should say. The Old West Austin bungalow is actually turning 100 years old this year! There are so many aspects of the remodel that we’re excited about, but the bathroom has been one […]
Why Spring Is The Ultimate Time To Refresh Your Home
What I’ve learned from every biography I’ve ever read and TED Talk I’ve ever watched, is that creating new habits and meeting goals is all about the setbacks. There will always be missteps, but the key is to get back up, not be too self-critical (that one’s hard) and try again. If you’re with the […]
Easy Ways To Add New Orleans Charm to Your Home
I’m heading to New Orleans this weekend to celebrate my best friend and bride-to-be; and as much as I’m looking forward to the much-needed girl time, I’m also feeling ready to be inspired. I find myself most energized when I’m surrounded by old architecture, eclectic styles, interesting foods, and new experiences. Oftentimes I return from […]
5 Ideas to Steal from This Parisian Kitchen

3 Bedtime Habits for a Better Night’s Sleep
We all have things we have to do today. We have to drink more water, take more steps, get through our to do list, and go to sleep earlier. This month, I’ve been working on cultivating gratitude and one of the most effective ways I’ve found to do this is with one very small yet […]
The Most Important Thing Your Home Might Be Missing
My coworkers and I have been talking a lot about self-care lately, and it struck me just how different each of our practices are. For me, it means doing restorative yoga in my living room, for one coworker it’s thrifting, for another it’s volunteering with dogs. It doesn’t matter what you do, what matters is who […]
9 Kitchen Essentials Too Gorgeous to Hide in a Cabinet
The trend towards open shelving and open floor plans have turned the kitchen from a functional space to a canvas that you can style and show your design personality in a way that matches the rest of your house. There are plenty of kitchen appliances that will always be better hidden in closed cabinets, but there […]
How to Create Your At-Home Yoga Space
They say the hardest part of yoga is making it to the mat. That may be the case when it involves changing clothes, driving, parking, and paying for a class, but not when your mat is on your living room floor. If one of your resolutions is to take better care of your body or your […]

Rethink Your Coffee Table With This Piece of Furniture
Shopping for furniture is hard. We may buy a pair of shoes once a season, so after just a couple years you have 5-10 shoe buying experiences under your belt. You learn your taste, what looks good on you, what’s functional, and what you love year after year. With furniture, you don’t have that luxury. You […]
5 Easy Ways to Make Your Home Feel Cozier for Fall
It may be 92 degrees with a humidity of 84% outside here in Austin, and yet I still ambitiously wore my fall boots to work today only to regret that decision by lunch time.

A couple years ago I made it my New Year’s resolution to become a morning person. I’m a night owl by nature so it’s taken work, perseverance and all the hacks in the book to get there. I love reading and talking to people about what works for them and trying it out — even […]
