Nestled into a hillside near downtown Austin, this residence is the ideal perch for a pair of empty nesters. My clients and I reimagined this three-story abode as a jewel box among the trees. Every piece selected for the home was intended to be stand-alone beautiful to enhance Dick Clark’s architecture. This home was featured on the cover of Luxe Interiors + Design in the September/October issue of 2017.

The blessing of this east side historic adobe home was that it had been lovingly restored by the previous owners. I have known the new owners several years and we have down several projects together, but this was our first blank canvas. My goal was to provide them a calming respite from the busy lives. Each piece was selected with intention. And best of all the clients plan to fill the home with New Mexico artists.

Located in the heart of Tarrytown, Vickee worked with the developers and the architect to make interior selections and furnish all of the common area spaces. Together they created a sophisticated boutique style rental community unlike any other in Central Austin.

I met this family right after they had finished the design with the architect. We worked together make all of the interior selections for the house as well as much of the furniture. We worked together to come in on time and almost on budget. The husband added great ideas and even went with us to the Dallas Market.

My clients found this treasure and in an instant doubled their living space. Fortunately, we were able to use all of their existing pieces adding new only as needed. We focused on new paint, wallpaper and lighting. This enabled us to take a charming three story English Tudor cottage and modernize it with the client's favorite things: lighting, art and wallpaper. The end result reflects her personality.
