Modern angles on the Austin Modern Home Tour in home by Matt Fajkus architecture. More on The Pillow Goddess blog 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

The Telstar home at Starlight Village Homes, Leander, Texas. 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. Today's post on Mid-century modern will be a tad short (okay, we all know, my posts are NEVER really short, no matter how hard I try!), but with inspiring photos, because I want you to learn more about

What a whirlwind of an amazing Austin City Limits Festival!! How awesome was it to hear all that live music and come back to a cozy South Austin bungalow, high on a bluff above the crowds, nestled in the quiet, relaxing Zilker neighborhood. With tranquility awaiting you on a patio under a massive Shumard Red Oak tree and in a bright, contemporary guest room, what more could you ask for?

It's Summertime....the perfect time for a recap of our first #PillowFight!!

24f404780446c209669fb16292c888d1

 That's right, the Pillow Goddess, WAS in the hot seat last week for a #PillowFight as guest host of #DesignLux chat's "Pillow Fight". Didn't see any feathers flying as in "Along Comes Polly" (at least not yet!), but boy was it a blast!!

Thank you so much Brandon Smith for having me as a guest host. I always look forward to your chat #DesignLUX every Thursday. I think we were rather a tame bunch for this first go around, so you might have to have a few more #PillowFights to get the adrenalin going.  But in case you, dear readers, missed the chat, do not fear as I recap it all right here (below) with a few opinions, pillow finds, and tips from followers of #DesignLux chat.
