Design

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.

5 Essentials for Your Dreamiest Bedroom

I live in a studio so I pretty much have to make sure my bedroom’s presentable when I have guests over, but back when I had an actual bedroom I have to admit, it didn’t get my full design attention. Our untidy habits get the best of us in the areas we know no one will see, like that one […]

Merrilee’s Artistic Bungalow

There are some homes that instantly lift your spirits just by walking through the front door. Designer Merrilee McGehee’s colorful west Austin abode is one such smile-inducing spot, with creative details tucked into every corner and a vibe that makes you want to kick back with a glass of lemonade and stay awhile. I was first intro’d […]

Creating a Personal Photo Album

Saturday mornings are a treasured time of the week for me and Eric. We wake up when our bodies tell us to, open the windows (rain or shine), blast some music, then work together to make a breakfast out of whatever ingredients remain in our fridge after the week’s homemade lunches and dinners. The entire saga […]

15 Glamorous Vacation Rentals

Call it a weakness, but we’ve definitely been known to browse real estate that’s way out of our price range. That’s why vacation rental sites like HomeAway are our new jam: with a group of ten or so friends, our fantasy home dreams can now come true (at least for a weekend). But shopping short-term […]

Ready for Summer

I know, I know, you’re probably thinking, “Isn’t it a little premature for watermelon?” Well if you’d just tasted the sweet, juicy melon we brought home from the grocery store yesterday, you’d be feeling inspired too. It only took two bites for me to be transported — childhood summers spent on the beaches of Tel […]

12 Online Shops You Need to Know About

If I’m being completely honest, we were a bit hesitant to share today’s post. While we’re all for the greater good, we’re equally aware that sharing our little black book of online shops means that they’re no longer our little secret. And with that, we can say goodbye to elusive where-did-she-get-that stares and complementary “where do you shop?” […]

A Stylish Rustic Retreat

About 50 miles west of Austin (and 50 miles north of San Antonio) sits the historic town of Blanco. It’s known around central Texas for it’s pioneer-style town square and beautiful riverfront park.  As hill country towns go, Blanco is still relatively undiscovered — the population was still under 2,000 during the last census. The […]

Seek the Surf

When I was seventeen, I headed west with my parents to tour California schools. The UCLA and Pepperdine campuses were beautiful, but the biggest takeaway of the trip was catching my first wave on a longboard in Malibu. I ended up writing an admissions essay about the experience and submitting it (ironically) to the land-locked […]

How to Keep Your Houseplants Green & Gorgeous

If you’ve seen my house, you know I love my houseplants — there’s no chicer (or cheaper) way to add a major dose of style to any room. But what you may not know is that I’m terrible at keeping them alive. Since I’m determined to change my ways and develop a green thumb, I […]

7 Pieces That Will Add French Style to Your Home

Stir fries, pastas, fajitas – these are well-practiced dishes in my kitchen. But one cuisine that still seems to elude me is French cooking. I admire blogs like Mimi Thorisson’s Manger that manage to make it look so simple and of course delicious. So this year I’d like to master her roast chicken with herbs recipe, […]

Jessi & Chloe

During her time on the Camille Styles team, Jessi was obsessed with dogs. The two of us would unwind at the end of almost every workday by googling puppy photos and researching breeds… in fact, our ongoing conversation was a big part of what inspired the Fox & Hound series! Shortly after Jessi spread her wings to pursue fashion blogger-dom […]
