13 Mar 10 Powerful Pillow Goddess Picks – How to Modernize Your Wonderful Home!
Modern angles and warm interiors were "de rigueur" for several modern homes in this 2nd post of a 3-part series on the Austin Modern Home Tour produced by Modern Architecture + Design Society.
It was another FANTASTIC Tour! I always find homes that inspire me - not to mention incredible architectural and design details - which make me want to run home fast to remodel. (HA!! As we know, that's not always possible, but the kitchens dying for a remodel!) Last week we talked about everything Mid-Century Modern HERE. This second post, of three (up next week is
01 Mar Mad About Mid Century? 5 Reasons You’ll Love Starlight Village + Modern Redux
WOW!! The 2019 Modern Home Tour was over the top FABULOUS!!! Not to mention we had a gorgeous sunny day and the piece de resistance was a fun Block Party out at the NEW Starlight Village in Leander. I took hundreds of photos and am so excited about sharing everything with you!
But while editing my images, I realized there's absolutely NO way I can squeeze them into one post. Lucky you! You'll be getting THREE posts out of this fantastic Tour produced by Modern Architecture + Design Society.

07 Sep Art Heals – How One Painter Moves “Towards Joy”
Art heals. I know this first hand. You see, before I ever started making luxury pillows I got sick. Although I still have chronic health conditions that go unseen, but often limit me, I'm extremely grateful to be much better. The reasons are many. Having a fantastic husband and supportive friends and family are at the top of the list. But one primary reason I am better is because I discovered my passion for creating pillows. And through that discovery of "my art", it literally helped me heal. (You can read about it HERE.)
I've often shared artists and their artwork with you here on our blog, especially in the last two years during the WEST Austin Studio Tour. Today I want to talk more specifically about how art heals, by featuring my dear friend, artist Linda Stabinski.
Linda has a show opening TODAY, Friday September 7th, from 5 - 9 p.m. (EDT) and running through September 29th that you should

05 Jun WEST is Over. Summer is Here. Art Heads to Colorado!
Happy Texture Tuesday! School's out, WEST is over, and summer's here!! Hallalujah!! While Austin is hitting triple digits far too soon, I finally went to Barton Springs Pool last week, and that, my friends, officially kicks off summer for me.
I dont know if you followed our #BIGPurge on Facebook, but spring was jam packed. My husband, David, and I got rid of two storage units and held a huge Estate Sale (with the help of 6 amazing friends! Have to say Austinites are so kind and helpful.) and then turned around and did the WEST Austin Studio Tour. And I even
