Y’all are going to love this house. It is located in the Hill Country near Fredericksburg, Texas. The homeowner is a young wife and mother living on family ranch land dating back to the 1840s, that’s Republic period for y’all that speak Texan! The wonderful old home was built in 1898. She is looking to freshen up the interior while respecting the heritage of the old house and her family. This is right up my alley..I’ve loved working on this project and wanted to share some photos of the house with you…

Here is a sampling of our inspiration boards for her kitchen/dining, lighting,  fabrics… 

This is small space living but I for one hope this family stays in this amazing little house and doesn’t build…this kind of charm and history is hard to recreate! There is a trap door to the cellar in the living room…she says her Grandmother kept “canning” down there until just recently! The big floral is a possibility for drapery panels to soften around the fireplace and french doors.  (We have another fabric in mind that she is actually favoring over this one but didn’t want to show because she hasn’t ordered yet;;) Her current chairs are toffee check from Ballard…she has a collection of horses (pictured below) similar to the Wisteria horse, they may go on the mantle. 

A lot of the accessory suggestions are just for feel, she can find something similar in a local store or in her own closets, the mood board just provides direction. This is how this online design consultation “thing” works. Homeowners simply email me pictures of the room, sometimes the exterior or things they love in their home, along with photos of items they think might work like Amber did above and we just engage in a email firestorm frenzy to determine what will work and where and “move it an inch to the left..to the right” until things look fab!

Hope you enjoyed this peek around Amber’s unique home and the process involved in an online design consultation!
