If you live here in north Texas, you know all about how low our lakes have been. Usually, I get to see the receding shorelines from the air, this weekend however, I got to see them close up and personal.
I always enjoy spending time with friends near Kingston, Oklahoma on Lake Texoma. Strategically placed, the back of their home sits on a cove overlooking the lake.
The gold rush is on! But don’t worry, this is not that old gold of the 80’s that immediately pops to mind. Today, brushed gold and matte finishes create a softer look. And it’s showing up everywhere, specially home decor. So if you prefer gold to silver you’ll love the images to follow…
Here we are, Christmas Eve and I finally get around to sharing some pictures of my tree this year. It’s hanging from the ceiling, of course, as it has for the last 4 years. This year, it’s silver and white with splashes of red.

It has been pure joy to work on this traditional classic highrise apartment in the heart of Dallas.
Downsizing from a larger single family home in Austin, these homeowners opted for the highrise lifestyle, where the view was a huge consideration. From the 15th floor in Uptown, the view is definitely the indisputable focal point!
