Outside of Austin

Could this be any more lovely of a ceiling, I ask you? Being a designer myself, I vividly recall wanting a skylight in my bathroom since I was like 7 but to have one moving over the entire length of my living room is absolutely inspired. This proves you don't need square footage to impress you just have to have a fabulous architect!

This is the home of a friend of mine Judy Ridley's friend. I still want to send these fabulous pictures to editors at several shelter magazines in the hopes that they will pick it up and use it for an article. The owners have done both the exterior and interior with living in mind and living with art in mind. And that is what I love. When one notices a work of art in a home something happens to us internally. It sends a message to our brains that this can not be duplicated because it was an inspiration from some one else. I want to search for those houses that are not decorator perfect. That are not Elle Decor homes where one wouldn't dare put their feet on the cocktail table. And I want to find out what exactly it is about a work of art that makes a home so much more inviting that just another piece of prefab from Ikea. Don't get me wrong though, I love Ikea, but, when you add something artistic a room changes and it is that change I want to capture from people.

So here we go. My husband just informally interviewed for job in Austin so you never know. Keep us in your prayers because I would LOVE living in the Hill Country.

Cheers..Robin
