Growing up with a Swedish heritage, I've always been drawn to the beauty of natural, simple, and understated decor. During the holidays, this aesthetic feels even more achievable, especially when you use forged and handmade pieces as the foundation of your styling.
Read MoreFor those that have never been to the Round Top Antiques Fair, it’s hard to imagine the ‘circus’ that comes to town twice per year. Attracting both world-class designers and local antique lovers, there’s something for everyone in the fields. It’s a marathon of sorts -- walking miles in the fields, hunting for treasures, deliberating purchases, hauling your finds -- certainly not for the faint of heart!

Read MoreBIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES!!! That’s for sure in the case of Kim Lewis, who is tiny in person but mighty in her spirit, talent, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Read MoreThe Vintage Round Top property is the perfect place to hold your holiday celebrations - Christmas or New Year’s! It’s conveniently located on Hwy 237 only one mile from Round Top and sits on an acre-and-a-half of beautiful country pasture. It consists of four boutique luxury cottages and sleeps up to 21 guests (see details below).
Read MoreVintage is in my blood and brings me so much joy! It provides soul, stories and uniqueness that I crave to the spaces I create, live and work in.
With that said, I’m bringing back one of my favorite blog topics I’ve shared in the past. Before I jump in, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world that our property is smack dab in the middle of the Round Top Antique show held in the spring, fall and winter.
Read MoreIn our Look Back, Look Forward 10 years series, we’re revisiting one of our favorite past blog posts in an effort to help others who are building or refreshing their homes or businesses. What would seem to be one of the easiest things to choose - WHITE PAINT - can actually be one of the hardest!
Read MoreI had a cup of coffee in hand and started my usual morning email check. And…what a lovely surprise to have seen Collections 02 right in my own inbox in the PaperCity Round Top newsletter!
Read MoreI try to take any opportunity to show my appreciation and love to the people near and dear to my heart. I absolutely would not be where I am today without the 20 years of support from Smoot, our precious kids, my sweet friends, as well as the incredible community of Round Top. So, when Valentine’s Day comes around, I get excited to gift little tokens of love to my favorite people.
Read MoreIt’s no secret that Smoot and I love designing with white paint. While white can seem like a no-brainer, there are actually hundreds of paint shades available--each with its own subtle variation in undertone. Pure white has no hue and reflects all visible wavelengths of light, so white paint will be very “reactive” to its environment. Now that we’ve completed four cottages with white interior paint, we want to share a few of the things we’ve learned along the way. Read on to learn our tips for choosing the perfect white for your space!
Read MoreWe’ve been so proud to have been featured on the cover of ORIGIN magazine’s food and design issue! Although we’ve been fortunate enough to have been included in many publications in the past, our ORIGIN feature was our first-ever cover story—truly a pinch-me moment!
We are so pleased to share that The Vintage Round Top is once again appearing on newsstands! Our collaboration with our friends Loot Rentals is featured in the current issue of Mingle, a magazine published by Stampington & Co. and dedicated to inspiring gatherings, parties, and get-togethers. Together, we hosted an intimate dinner party for a group of fellow creative visiting the spring Antiques Show from Austin.
Read MoreEight years ago, we decided to fully commit to Living with Intention and purchase the property that would become The Vintage Round Top. At the time, our priorities were twofold. We wanted to give our family a weekend retreat to enjoy the slower pace and simpler pleasures of country living, and we wanted to embark on a project that would allow us to fully stretch our creative muscles.
Read MoreWhat an enormous honor it is to see our No. 1450 daybed lounge area on the cover of this gorgeous magazine. We’ve been blessed with great press features throughout the years, however this is our first cover - eek!!
Read MoreI was blessed to grow up in a home that celebrated Christmas with lots of traditions. Some of those I carried on with our own family — buying and decorating our tree on Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas Eve Candlelight church services and tamales for dinner, opening one present the night before Christmas (my favorite when I was a kid).
Read MoreOur Mother's Day traditions are simple, but so dear to my heart. Smoot and our children always prepare a special breakfast in bed before we head off to church. Then we enjoy brunch together and spend time as a family for the rest of the afternoon. Days like Mother's Day remind me of how blessed I am and how much I cherish our time together.
Read MoreToday we're sharing our collaboration with Forrest Middleton, a mastermind potter, tile maker and educator who lives in Petaluma, California. We worked with Forrest to find the most beautiful, unique tile for our bathrooms in the Boho cottage. We originally found Forrest's work through Cle Tile, and now Forrest has begun to sell directly through his website.
Read MoreWe knew we wanted something unique for the headboards of our Boho Guest Room, and had admired the work of Natural Dyer and Textile Designer, Cara Marie Piazza, for quite some time. We reached out to Cara and partnered together to bring our vision to life!
Read MoreWe’re excited to talk about a very important Boho collaborator on the blog today. Boho would not be what it is without our rockstar architects, MARS Culture. We had such a wonderful experience working with MARS Culture Studio Principals Kelie Mayfield and Erick Ragni.
