I may not have Ninja skills, but when it comes to design, I have some secret weapons in my tool belt. Some go-to items that I never skip. Take a stroll through some of my Dallas clients’ homes and see what I used to bring fresh life into their spaces…. You’ve heard of late bloomers, but tulips […]

Harvest time decor brings to mind colorful gourds and multicolored corn, but there’s more to it than that: out on the plains of west Texas from October to December, huge harvesters are busy day and night bringing in–cotton! Besides the cotton we wear and make cute pillows with, now we’re seeing cotton boll stalks as a beautiful, […]

What is it about farmhouse style that’s so appealing? The echoes of a slower, simpler life undistracted by tech wizardry?  Sun-drenched interiors?  Items that are not too precious to touch?
