With summer quickly approaching and the kids’ school year winding down, my mind wanders to thoughts of family time and road trips. As new-ish Austin residents, we are so appreciative of the short drives to so many wonderful places nearby. Being able to hop in the car on a Saturday afternoon and end up in the Texas wine country or on a back road enjoying the scenery is one of my favorite parts about living here.

Earlier this month, we gathered at the cottages with a lovely group of ladies and the talented Marcia Smart of Smart in the Kitchen to cook up some ‘Derby de Mayo’ recipes during our second cooking retreat.

Continuing on our Boho collaboration series, today we’re featuring Jon Dahl of Jonathon Dahl Woodworks. Jon is a dear friend of ours and we knew he would be the perfect person to create the sophisticated cabinetry we had in mind for our Boho cottage. Our goal was not just to add cabinets to the space, but rather make them appear as furniture, seamlessly integrated into each room. The detail and intricacy of his work is remarkable, and we feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with him.

Our 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.

Spring is such a special time of year, with extra sunny days and the rich greenery all around. If you’re local to Texas, you’ve probably been enjoying the warmer temperatures for several weeks.

With Antiques Week in full swing, it always makes me pause to remember all the excitement this time of year brings. Seeing first-timers experience Round Top always reminds me of the sheer magic that's present in that tiny town, which is why our fall collaboration with Emily and Meritt of The Great, along with Sea of Shoes and Atlantis Home, is one of my favorite Antiques Week experiences to date.

We honestly believe the kitchen is the heart of the home. We love seeing our kitchen filled with people creating and cooking, and during our very first cooking retreat, we were able to experience firsthand the joys of cooking together (with complete strangers I might add) in our home!
