Lisa Fine Decorates a Dallas Apartment

The November issue of House Beautiful features the amazing Dallas apartment Lisa Fine designed for her mother.  As a longtime fan of both her fabrics and fashion, I was excited to see these gorgeous interiors.  




Interestingly, Lisa Fine's had no professional training in interior design.  I notice many of my favorite designers haven't either.  To successfully integrate so many colors, patterns and textures, she's obviously a natural.  And, if textile design and creating a fashion label in collaboration with Carolina Irving weren't enough, she's also been a contributing editor for House Beautiful and Elle Decor. In reading about her, I discovered that she graduated from the same school here in Dallas that my daughter attends -- small world.

Be sure to see the November 2015 HB issue.  I've only shared some of Miguel Flores-Vianna's incredible photos of this spectacular space.

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

The granny-chic style...

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Thank you for coming to see my completed entrance hall. I redesigned our very tired and lifeless entry for The One Room Challenge. You can catch up and see "before" shots  here .  It's been so much fun working with this space, and I'm thrilled with the results.  How exciting to get to share it with you today! Above and below is the view from the front door. These are the beyond breathtaking panels that Christina Baker painted for the entry.  I'm not sure if from the photos you can get a true understanding of the impact these panels create.  In person they're even more beautiful, and I'm wanting to spend lots of time on the settee enjoying the view. Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. Besides these to-die-for paintings I get to enjoy everyday, it was fantastic getting to know and work with her. Her work is available at Gregg Irby Fine Art , and also can be seen on her site . And, here is the spectacular lant...
