Today's pics provide a peek into Reagan's (my oldest son) house. I think it's an ideal Austin home. There's lots to love...light and space and great design. Reagan and I recently worked together to make this house a home. Below are a few photos.
 |
| The Entryway//Bright and Spacious |
The choice to layer the mirrors horizontally was inspired by the front door design (see photo below) and helps visually expand the foyer.
Reagan's bike rests here ~ ready to grab in a jiff when he decides to take a spin.

| Truly vintage + Modern |
The vintage light up globe is a favorite of Reagan's. It's usually lit and serves as a night light ~ so one can carefully navigate his way to the kitchen for a midnight snack. We found the modern table here.
 |
| Living//Dining//Kitchen |
The main living space continues to echo the mid-century modern vibe that Reagan loves. The assembly of the chairs was a joint effort ~ we couldn't have done it without the help of Reagan's roommate, Chris and friends, Amanda and Brandy.
 |
| Coffee//Tea Bar |
When it came to the beverage area, Reagan and I knew we would be making a trip here. We scored the stainless shelf as well as the mugs and glassware.
Accent lighting, an interesting clock and a colorful tray complete the bar area.
 |
| Wood//Chrome//A Dose of Orange |
The mid-century modern table is the most recent addition to the living room. The penguins add a touch of whimsy and the orange and white chevron pillows (made by a friend) add color.
 |
| Stainless Steel Numbers//Art |
Reagan and I painstakingly hung the stainless numbers above. I think they are definitely one of our favorite art elements.

Brown Leather//Geometric Pillow//Accents of White and Green
|
The surprise makeover in the room above was the white lacquered lamp. In it's former life the lamp was a worn shade of black and sported an ailing lampshade. It was in such bad shape, we considered pitching it altogether. Once again, it goes to show what a couple coats of high gloss white paint and a new shade will do ~ the lamp was totally transformed. :)

A Pop of Green//Vintage Tray
|
Reagan had a Murphy bed installed in the room above allowing the room to be multifunctional. It serves as a media room and a guest room as well.
 |
| Landing//Vintage Massage Chair ~ Perfect |
The massage chair has traveled with Reagan from previous homes ~ it seemed only fitting to spotlight it here.
A lot of TLC and helping hands went into making Reagan's house a home ~ for days we worked until the wee hours of the night. In the end it was a wonderful trip down to Austin ~ thanks Reagan for our time spent together and for letting me feature your home...love Mom.
Before I go, I'm excited to tell you that the article about my home recently went live on Houzz. A great big shout out and thank you to my new friend, Sarah Greenman for her beautiful write-up and photos. Be sure to hop on over here to take a look. Bye for now ~Dana
