{remodelista} | shows RBD some love

Last week, I was pleasantly surprised to see my choice of backsplash tile was chosen as a top 5 favorite on Remodelista!! 5 Favorites: Penny-Round Tile Backslpash 

I do love penny-rounds, especially the Waterworks penny tile featured in the post. Also shown in image above. The subtle variations in the tile gives it a rich, subtle texture, and the matte finish brings in a hint of rustic. ;) If you haven't checked out Remodelista yet, you should!! The site is one of my top go-to's for inspiration for interior design, architecture, and resources. 

We headed to the farmers market and art festival downtown this weekend on our new bikes! The one thing I'm really enjoying about Austin these days...being outdoors. The kids are enjoying being outside as well and love riding in their new Burley trailer. 

I hope you had a great weekend!

XOXO, Regan

{styling} | project update hilton head

My apologies for the radio silence! Lots of things going on over here! It's been a juggling act, literally. Steady contract work, 5 new proposals for design services, interviews, rebrand discussions, work travel, and the beginnings of our home renovation. I'm keeping it quick today but wanted to share with you a recent styling project! I mentioned a few posts back that I would be heading to Hilton Head for a styling project. Well here's the finished product! These are a few of the money shots that I took with my nifty camera. Space will function as an activity center for a retirement community in Bluffton, SC.

The furniture began arriving on a Monday and we completed the project by Thursday. We made plenty of Target and Home Goods trips for additional styling accessories we needed, including temporary rug purchases. Unfortunately the custom rugs for the grouping near the fireplace and entry didn't make it in time for the pictures.

I love how it turned out. How about you? I'm especially in love with the octopus print! My friend Ariel Bleich, a designer at the firm STG , is the one responsible for the design of this beauty. It was so much fun to help set up and style, as well as meet the client(s). They were too much fun. I really hope to do it again soon!! Thanks so much STG!!

Come back soon!

{SXSW} | #flobrotourbus tour ends in Austin!

Today I took the kids to look at a bus. Not just any bus, the Kate Spade, Florence Broadhurst traveling tour bus covered in fuchsia pink and flo bro graphic wallpaper. The tour ended in Austin at SXSW. I was so excited  to see it and so were the kids. Do you know my love of airstreams yet? Although this isn't an airstream, actually a California Grayhound, I still love it's streamlined vintage industrial look. Maybe one day I can renovate one. ;)

It was great to partake in some fun SXSW festivities. 2nd street was booming and we ended our night with a Nora Jones sighting at Matt's El Rancho. Next year we'll make sure SXSW invades the calendar a bit more!

This week was full of follow up emails, photoshoots, and new potential client meetings. Lately, my own renovation Saving Frazier is on my mind. I'm loosing grasp of it, so I need to start prioritizing! Looking forward to sharing more with you next week. Enjoy your weekend!! Don't forget to vote for me!! Oh and check out another feature on Houzz: Get Soft With Sheepskin. ;)
