Ever wonder how some cabinets look so perfectly thought out and put together?! A designer somewhere took the time to find that perfect k**b, pull, and labeled where each one is to be mounted. I love spending quality time in my clients' homes as they are slowly becoming their best finished product.

This relaxing dining space was just featured in an article from The Spruce. Go check it out! (Architecture by James LaRue Architects).

Mirror hanging day on a job site. Being on the sunshine and brass bling.❤

And so it begins!! Next Lake Waco house is underway. Beautiful house with a spectacular view. Keep an eye out for more progress photos. It is going to be a showstopper!

Love how this dining room feels like we are sitting outside...while enjoying the air-conditioning. Floor to ceiling windows are still going strong in the design world, along with great conversational tables and Bling-Bling lighting.

A little Spring Break architecture tour in San Antonio this week. The Alamo, old hotels and missions, riverwalk, stained glass and all the Mexican food we could handle. 💕

Happy St. Patrick's Day! While drawing diligently on a remodel I sent the hubby to answer the "call of the siren" for breakfast, which was a good reminder to change clothes to something GREEN! Protect yourselves from those pesky Leprechauns and have a fun and productive day today.

Fun with Wallpaper! I truly love what wallpaper has become. From architectural lines to hanging with the monkeys, all personalities are welcome.

Is your preference for your living room rug to blend in with its surroundings? Or serve as a piece of art? We love using them in design both ways. The variety and colors i get to see when shopping for a client make me all giddy inside!! Thank you for tirelessly flipping through the stacks!

Designer Pro Tip: if you find a rug you really want, but it is too big for your space, have it cut to fit! We took this beautiful rug in today to have a couple of feet cut off one end so it will fit the clients space perfectly. I can't wait to see it in place un a few weeks!

"As we spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential." -Ellen Goodman

My family thrives on our Christmas traditions. Putting up the tree the day after Thanksgiving, making treats for the neighbors and even a shrimp boil on Christmas eve to name a few. What are some of your fun family traditions you can't wait to share with your family this year? 🎄 #

This is a little collection of before and after photos of a small part of a whole house remodel we completed a few years ago. Look for the floor plans at the end. It was more than just color changes. We were able to help the client improve their quality of life with additional seating areas, getting rid of unusable spaces and WOW, check out that kitchen!!
