One year ago, we unveiled our Listening Lounge at the Dallas Kips Bay Decorator Show House, a room that went on to be featured individually by Architectural Digest and among others. Looking back, it’s still one of my favorite rooms we’ve ever designed. As this year’s Dallas Kips Bay Show House prepares for opening day, I’m taking a trip down memory lane. ⁠
⁠
The room’s story started with the walls: Robin’s Nest by Benjamin Moore. From there we layered deep chocolate browns, tonal blues and greens, and soft dusty pinks. Mirror, polished nickel, lucite and chrome bring the sparkle of a little blue Tiffany box, inspired by the rich materiality and flash of the ‘70s. The luster glazed lamp by paulschneiderceramics gives the corner height and presence.⁠
⁠
Custom upholstery by our friends at Bolt and Hide in Dallas, a mix of vintage and contemporary art, and a curated group of antiques make the room feel storied and collected. Old, new, and everything in between: our take on nostalgic modernism.⁠
⁠
Favorite moment? The portiere: olive green velvet with gold brush fringe and electric peacock piping. Swipe to see! 💙⁠
⁠
Proceeds benefited Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club, The Crystal Charity Ball and Dwell with Dignity. Still endlessly grateful to every partner who made this room possible.⁠

Tile is the main event in this classical bathhouse inspired bathroom. With a customized Greek key mosaic border on the floor and bespoke colored trim design that wraps the whole room this was one where we really got be creative with materials. Recently featured in a story in the Financial Times Financial Times House & Home and originally published in Dallas Morning News The Dallas Morning News DMN Abode.

The world of Atelier Vime. While in Paris for deco off a couple of years ago I had the pleasure of touring this private apartment where ateliervime has installed many of their beautiful goods. It was an incredible way to see the city and familiarize myself with their product. This trip has stuck with me in so many ways and I am constantly revisiting my photos for inspiration! Scroll through for layered artistic dreaminess. I’ll never forget how cold I was on this trip! This Texan was not prepared.

Right off the bat the tile and the railing in this entry was incredible.

Cutest little spot! Love the idea to hang two little lights instead of just one.

Hi! I was freezing and Andrée Chalaron was chic

Who doesn’t love a little religious iconography in the mix

The most vibrant juicy orange with the little green glass wall candelabra was perfection.

Tucked under the stairwell and disguised behind a secret door is a hidden wet bar perfect for mixing up a cocktail for dinner guests. We sourced an artisanal brass faucet from Morocco to pair with the mottled glazed tile from Sarah Watson . Sticking the seascape up on the the underside of the stair was a clever move that I love and came together the day of the photoshoot. I love how this image captures so much of what I love about this project, the jauntiness of a real collected over time feel, the custom artistry we incorporated throughout, the mix of traditional and folk-y pieces, and the determination to squeeze little moments of magic throughout the available squarefootage.⁠

Some cute moments behind the scenes as we wrap up our Travis Heights project in Austin, TX. This has been a little over a 3 year process to get this new build fully decked out and we are so proud and excited to see it come to life. Can’t wait to share more!

Here we are looking in to the lively kitchen through from the dining room that is wrapped in a custom chinoiserie wallpaper that I had custom designed. It features our clients favorite flora and fauna from the Texas region and is set on a sherbet-y ground which compliments the soft pink color of the cabinets.

We used a number of antiques and family heirlooms as well as our clients personal collection of art and objet throughout this home. Finding places for them was such a fun part of styling this project. From the dinnerware collection handed down from our clients grandmother that now decorates the kitchen hood, to the beautiful hand painted ceramic vase on the antique chest. This project is personal and collected.

Originally published in the Dallas Morning News DMN Abode section, this restored Georgian was saved by our preservation minded clients. These buildings are truly special and with the right team, these old homes can be reimagined thoughtfully for the next generation.

More from this darling Dallas nursery… the large cabana stripe on the shades lends a not so serious air to the space while the palette will easily age up with this kiddo. Playfulness and agency is the name of the game in this children’s room, soft modular furniture, cozy rug, accessible toys and room to run around make for lovely play sessions! Of course, every kids rooms needs some vintage pieces and family heirlooms to give it soul.

Here is a close up of a custom bookshelf we designed for a narrow bedroom entry in this Dallas home. The idea was low, safe storage so kids could explore and pull whatever caught their interest off the shelf themselves... a la Montessori. The diamond shape on the doors gives a hint at what is hiding within, and the okra green brings some life to what was otherwise an awkward little space.⁠

Thinking about redoing a room before everyone descends for the holidays? Now is the time to start thinking about it! I have a few spots open on The Expert to help with exactly that.⁠
⁠
This headboard, from a project in Dallas, is pink silk with a canary velvet tape trim, just enough to give the expanse of pink some structure. Underneath the canopy I put a fairly workaday olive linen check next to a delicate floral, which is a pairing I keep returning to, something a bit graphic and structured sitting alongside something humble and unstudied. The squiggle lamp and the lacquered chest do the same job in three dimensions. Every room needs a bit of that push/pull.⁠

One of my favorite things to do for our projects is to create something entirely new. For this sherbet colored kitchen we decided to design our own hardware for the space. Carved out of white oak and meant to resemble the shape sand makes under the waves near the shore, we designed 3 shapes to be applied across the different door sizes.

Swipe to see the rest of the space as well as some progress shots and sketches of other custom pieces we have designed and fabricated in the past.
