There’s something really special about seeing this project continue to resonate.
I honestly wasn’t expecting such a warm response to last week’s post sharing that we were honored with Rising Star and Best Use of Vintage at the Austin Home & Design Awards. I’m so grateful for every message, comment, and new face that’s found its way here. It truly means a lot!
So I wanted to share a closer look at the project behind it.
Our Hyde Park home began as a 1939 bungalow with good bones, but not a lot of charm. What started as a personal renovation for my husband and me back in 2020 quickly grew into something much bigger. It became a full gut, an addition, and eventually the project that gave me the confidence to start my firm.
At the time, I was still working in hospitality design with just one residential project under my belt. This home became the bridge where I started to define what now feels so core to my work. Layered, collected interiors. A reverence for what came before. A commitment to creating something that feels intentional and personal to how we live.
Nearly every decision was guided by that lens, honoring the age of the home while evolving it for modern life. I was continually drawn to the Arts and Crafts movement, with subtle nods throughout, from William Morris patterns to details inspired by my uncle’s English Tudor cottage in Michigan where I spent summers, all grounded in the home’s original architectural language.
Looking back, it really does feel like the beginning of everything.
And to those of you who are new here, welcome. We have some exciting projects wrapping up and a few new ones just getting underway. I’m looking forward to sharing more of what we’re working on as it all unfolds!
