Home is more than a place—it’s a feeling. We’re inspired by spaces that feel grounded and welcoming, warm and minimal. Our design approach leans into the wabi-sabi beauty of the imperfect, seeking a deep connection with the objects we bring into our homes.

Weekend Notes

Hey friends, hope you’re all having a cozy holiday vibe-filled weekend. Yesterday we bundled up and took the kids out for brunch and a long chilly walk around the city, then spent the afternoon wrapping gifts, mailing cards, and watching Christmas movies (Phoebe’s obsessed with The Grinch.)

A Swanky Cocktail Party to Toast the New Year

It feels like a new hot spot opens in Austin every weekend (because it does), and our list of must-try restaurants is starting to get a bit out of control. After checking out Eberly’s bar for Landrie’s birthday bash last month, we were smitten, and couldn’t wait to get back to try their contemporary American cuisine in that stunning midcentury dining room. For our most recent girls’ […]

You know you’re doing something right when people want to use your paper gift-wrapping creation as a real life handbag. And who am I to tell them they can’t?

Weekend Notes

What a week! I always forget how busy the holiday season gets, until December 1st arrives and suddenly it feels like someone yelled “on your mark, get set, go!” Of course, I know that busyness is partially within my own control – I choose how many thing I say “yes” to and often overcommit around […]

10 Easy Ways to Make Your Holiday Cards Stand Out

Last week, we got into a heated conversation about holiday cards (well, it was about as heated as a conversation about holiday cards can be.) It basically came down to each of us in the office being at different life stages — from being married-with-children to fresh in a new relationship — and because of that, […]

These Holiday Gift Guides Are All the Reason You Need to Start Shopping Early

Sometimes I can’t remember how I ever survived without Amazon in my life.
