Gray Rug Love

The right rug can make a room sing. This one is making a beautiful noise in a client's family room.

A stem I’ve been using more often, lisianthus (also called Texas bluebell) is less fussy than a rose, graceful like a tulip with colors similar to peonies and the attitude of a wild flower. . . . . #propstylist #lisianthus #bts #countrylivingmagazine

Today we fought the flood and fire ants but tomorrow we’re counting on sun to get this shoot. Pop over to my stories to breathe in some of the beautiful details of this gorgeous property. Side note: if I had chickens I would never get anything done because they are so fun! . . . . . #propstylist #bts #countrylivingmagazine #oldworldantieks

A drop cloth canvas, a paint brush, one tube of raw umber craft paint and a willing creative who finds freedom in limitations. Inspired by grisaille wallpaper and a tight budget, this is my fall dining room update in progress. It’s more mark making than painting and a ton of fun. Almost done! . . . . . #grisaille #wallmural #diymural #sepiapainting #diningroommural #propstylist #forthebeauty

Here’s some of my loot from a quick trip to Round Top yesterday. I was drawn to the pretty colors and textures of these pieces and discovered Juanita Ware which is the pretty brown and white mid century square pitcher. Even if you only have a half day it’s worth the trip. I’ve loaded my stories up with the stops I made and will save them in a highlight reel up there 👆🏼 There’s plenty of indoor shopping with easy parking and many dealers are under tents so don’t let rain stop you. . . . . . #roundtopantiqueshow #roundtoptexas #goingtoroundtop #vintagelootshoot

Today I had on my decorator’s hat and stopped by a client’s to check out her new @potterybarn round coffee table and chat about what we want to do next in her living room. Real life homes are often ignored on the ‘gram but they’re my favorite to work on. Instant gratification is where mistakes are often made. Decorating is a process, its ok to take it slow!! ( hop over to my stories to see the before!) . . . . . #potterybarn #bassettfurniture #livingroom #houstondecorator #blueandwhite #reallifedecorating #styleinthesuburbs #roundcoffeetable

What an inspiring day spent with some superstar talent @thevintageroundtop for their Business, Branding and Social Media Workshop. @alyssarosenheck and Shea McGee of @studiomcgee spilled all the goods!! It was like creative jet fuel for business. These ladies have done the hard work, grown their businesses and are so generous and enthusiastic about sharing their expertise. A huge thank you to Paige and Smoot for sharing your beautiful space and making the magic happen. It was also so fun to meet some of my followers today at the event!! Now get those notebooks and cameras out and get to work!!! . . . . . #rvtworkshops #thevintageroundtop #thenewsouthern #studiomcgee #workshop

Who’s headed to Round Top?🙋🏼‍♀️ it’s showtime! What’s on your shopping list? I’m still looking for the perfect cabinet for my dining room. Time to hit the fields! . . . . . #roundtoptexas #warrentontx #antiquesweek

Adding a few easy fall tones on my mantel. Vintage brown chemistry bottles from @oldworldantieks with interesting labels and a big leaf English ivy from @thompsonhanson layered in with collected antique leather books feels like the just right amount of warmth for our home as we head into fall. It’s a “no pumpkin zone” here for a while yet. . . . . . #propstylist #fallmantel #falldecor #leatherbooks #vintagebotanicals

Designer Cathy Robinson Hutton of @renovatehouston recently transformed a former screened in porch to an enclosed living space at her family farm in New Ulm, Texas. Scroll through to see more of this beautiful Texas farm. The kitchen was also renovated but deserves its own post.
