Live Beautifully: Miley's Room

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2014/03/mileys-room.html

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Sweet little Miley's room! This was such a fun space to create! Miley is artistic and fun, and when I presented this palette to her mama we knew it was a winner. Miley loved it and it was a go! Pink gingham and seaglass walls. Love. Vintage furniture and antique brass reading lamps. Love. Yummy velvet candy dots on linen. You can see a little of our art collage wall here and Miley's framed art she created. I would have loved this space as a little girl! And it seemed that you guy...

Live Beautifully: June 2014

Monday, June 30, 2014. East Coast Vacay Continued. After we left Boston. We decided to make a quick stop in Cambridge because we couldn't be that close and not just take a peek at Harvard. It looked like what I thought it would :-). We stopped at Cambridge Common. And had a yummy burger and then headed out to Plymouth. Checking out the Mayflower II. The beginning of some of the prettiest residential architecture we would experience over the next several days. We grabbed a bite at The Dockside. It has bee...

Live Beautifully: Blake's Bath

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/blakes-bath.html

Monday, July 25, 2011. Blake is a pretty cool cat! In fact, he's one of the coolest kiddos I know! Naturally, we had to design a super cool bedroom and bath for this super cool kid :-). Blake loves baseball and so we took his bath on a little vintage baseball spin. I, of course, love the vintage tiles, but that paired with the metal and wood ballpark signs of yesteryear and I do believe we have a winning combo! The wooden Boys' Locker Room sign is pretty cute, huh? Bin pulls, pinwheels and a gooseneck.

Live Beautifully: Dallas Project | The Dining Room

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/dallas-project-dining-room_11.html

Wednesday, June 11, 2014. Dallas Project The Dining Room. This gorgeous dining room is part of a Dallas residence that I have been working on over the past year. Some other spaces in this home, that I have previously shown you, are the master bedroom. This home is new construction, but was designed to include lots of the charm you would expect to find in an older home. This home's plan is based on a center hall Colonial concept but with modern adaptations that worked for this adorable family. Modern gold...

Live Beautifully: Elegant In Austin | The Study

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2013/04/elegant-in-austin-study.html

Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Elegant In Austin The Study. If you've been around the blog a while, you likely recognize the 'Elegant In Austin' series. This project turned out amazing and my precious clients were a joy to work with! This space has been completed for a while, but life truly got in the way of photographing it and putting it out here in the blogosphere. If you've missed this series, you can see some more of the spaces in this gorgeous Austin home here. Request in a previous post here. If you'd li...

Live Beautifully: April 2014

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 28, 2014. This wonderfully collected and eclectic living room is just off of this kitchen. That I recently showed you. These wonderful clients had lots of fun pieces that were inherited through their family and they wanted to include them in their new design. We added lots of fresh new pieces, like the Lucite console behind the sofa, to balance the old and give the space a 'collected over time' vibe and prevent the room from feeling like a room full of old furniture. Due to client contracts...

Friday, May 3, 2013. Elegant in Austin Kitchen and Hearthroom. Today I bring you another look into my lovely project in Austin. If you are new around here and want to see more of this home, it is part of a series that I've titled 'Elegant in Austin'. I've previously blogged about the dining room. Master bedroom and bath. And the son, Blake's, bath. Take a peek back, this home is gorgeous! You can see the pretty dining room. Peeking through the butler's pantry passage. Shaw's Original sink, of course :-).

Live Beautifully: Serene

http://beckdesignblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/serene.html

Tuesday, April 1, 2014. Serene.that's the first word I think of when I'm in this space. I recently completed this Dallas master bedroom and the client and I couldn't be more pleased with the soothing palette and unfussy lines. It's one of those spaces where you can sit back and take deep breaths. It's crisp and relaxing. The cool gray walls and warm gold accents are one of my favorite couples. They just work so well together! You'll be surprised how much bigger your space looks when you use larger pieces.
