*Editors’ Letter

These are my confessions.

“One day, I may or may not admit that I could possibly have hoarding tendencies.”

This summer, while on a trip to Santa Barbara, I actually heard myself say, “One day, I may or may not admit that I could possibly have hoarding tendencies.” In this case, I was referring to fabric, furniture, and, most recently, light fixtures, as I discussed with my girlfriends how much time would be spent shopping for home decor. Replaying my statement back to myself, I realized that I might have a problem.

Hello. My name is Lesley, and I am a project starter.

It just so happens that I am also a project abandoner. I love finding a fabulous vintage piece that needs a little love or a few scrap yards of designer fabric that would make the perfect throw pillows. I return home with unmatched enthusiasm to complete projects. Then life happens. Light fixtures find a room but don’t get hung, furniture finds fabric but doesn’t get reupholstered. Before one project is complete, I’m on to the next idea, project or passion. With that said, here are my New Year’s resolutions: 1. I resolve to drop off all items that need new upholstery or a slipcover, including the parson chairs with the fabric washed and ready for drop-off.

2. I resolve to complete my light plan and hang all light fixtures.

3. I resolve to frame and organize all personal artwork.

4. I resolve to make a new list when this one is complete.

How about you? What are your resolutions for the New Year?

Warmly,

Lesley Busby Weaver

Chris PLAVIDAL

The photography bug captured Chris Plavidal’s imagination early in life as he constructed and launched a model rocket with a small camera tucked into the nose cone. From the moment he saw the first print, he was hooked. Chris says, “It was one of those amazing moments of clarity.

There was something magical about seeing the rooftops from hundreds of feet up in the air. I was enthralled - I had done that! I wanted to do more.” Chris lives in Fort Worth with his wife Penny and their three awesome kids.

She draws inspiration from a variety of subjects she is asked to shoot; children, interiors, food and travels. When she is away from the camera, Buff races to keep up with her four year old son George and explores her newly adopted hometown of Austin. She recently wrapped up a seasonal entertaining book for Camille Styles due out in the Fall.

ye-catching wallpaper. A standout ceiling.

Dynamic walls can pull your home, together and help bring out the “you” in your favorite décor, but how do you go from dull to dynamic? Laura Umansky of Houston design house Laura U Interior Design gave us the skinny on how to make walls pop.

nest * Walls

Wallpaper

N e utr a l Neutral papers and complementary walls make a huge impact.

“Wallpaper is making a big comeback, but it’s not your grandmother’s wallpaper,” says Laura. “The tired patterns from yesteryear are being replaced with natural wallcovering, such as grass cloth and wood walls, and amazing, rich patterns with metallic threads and accents.”

When considering a special paper for your space, think about where you are now. Are you ready to splurge on your forever home or do you just need a touch of pizazz for your starter space?

Wallpaper adds depth and personality to your living space, but it’s also a more expensive option. For your starter home, Laura suggests using paper sparingly— think accent walls and ceilings in high-traffic areas to get the most bang for your buck. Also, stick with neutral patterns. Too much “personality” can deter buyers when you’re ready to sell (your potential buyers may not have your superb taste).

When it comes to your forever home, “anywhere and everywhere!” says Laura. “If you have a larger budget, go for it!” And go as bold as you dare. A nice neutral throughout, combined with complementary accent walls and ceilings can make a huge impact in your home.

Once you decide paper is for you, Laura says, “working with a designer to help you envision the ideas in your head really is important.” An experienced designer will have worked with several professional wallcovering installers and should be able to give you many options. He or she will also be able to properly measure your space, ensuring there is plenty of your paper readily available for the project.

Paper Picks: Designers • Gracie • Phillip Jeffries • Maya Romanoff Office Space: For your forever home, use wallpaper that reflects your personality. Bedroom:

Accent walls are perfect spots for crazy patterns, stripes, murals, or other paint treatments.

Paint “If you are on a budget but still want to make a big impact, experiment with paint,” says Laura. “You can make a statement!”

Selecting a bold color is great, but it’s best used as accent, says Laura. A good rule of thumb: Be conservative with color but liberal with texture.

A little paint can camouflage a lot of sins, says Laura. If you have little natural light in your home, select a warm white to bring in some added warmth. If you have plenty of sunlight streaming in through windows, deeper hues can add some good contrast. And, if it’s high ceilings you’re battling, light colors or a nice wood stain are always best, as there is so much space to fill.

Take a leap of faith with paint! So what if you don’t like it in a month? You can always change it. But before you go all in, be sure to sample your colors on a large space and view your sample hue in the morning, noon, and night. Some colors can appear drastically different in different light.

Lofty Ambition Eddie and Angelee Fortuna’s, love for fashion and design is reflected in their Dallas loft.

allas architect Eddie Fortuna and wife Angelee, an account executive for a wholesaler, use style to navigate and inspire their lives, then they post it all on their blog, HIS+HER (his-and-her.com). A love for historical architecture and a desire for urban living led them to their loft in downtown Dallas. “My desire [to live in a loft] derives from growing up in such a small town,” says Angelee.

“As a little girl, I always wanted to live in the city.”

Their style is not the same; Angelee is drawn to modern

design, while Eddie seeks function-driven form pieces.

Compromise has led to the cohesive feel of the open space.

“We don’t lean on anything overtly ‘masculine’ or ‘feminine’,” Eddie says. Items at the heart of the space, can be found in their bedroom and dressing-dining space including a headboard and dining table design and built by Eddie and his father, a painting by Eddie’s brother Joshua, and a photo of Angelee’s late mother. Although storage and square footage are obstacles in the space, developing creative solutions seems to be a welcomed challenge for this inventive couple.

Houston

Confessions of a Former Flipper Real estate agent, home rehabber and author, Curtis Warden, tells us how to expect the unexpected in an older home. seven years ago, Curtis Warden had a mildly obsessive fascination for “house flipping” reality television. Yes, he could have been anyone of us. But rather than being content on the couch like you and I, Warden decided to get in on the flip. He became a real estate agent and did his fair share of Houston housing homework before dipping into the Houston market—first with rental properties, then with renovations and his first house flip. One grew to two. Two grew to a booming business and a book. Today, Warden focuses his real estate energy on transforming charming bungalows in the BrookeSmith neighborhood of the Houston Heights.

“I preserve what is old and make it new,” Warden says. “It is more expensive, but it allows for creativity and more heart.”

Heart isn’t hard to find in this much-beloved, eclectic neighborhood with tree-lined streets, jogging trails, and 15-minute commutes to downtown. For those who love the city, it is a very

easy decision to buy one of the neighborhood’s historic homes. After all, they come equipped with built-in charm.

“You just need to add your own personality,” says Warden. That said, an eighty year old home is going to need a little love, and Warden adds, “It is not a matter of if, but when to update.”

Before You Buy “Do your research before you buy,” says Warden. It is very common for buyers to walk into a well-staged home and feel like they don’t have to do anything but maybe add a coat of paint. But, get to know the history of the structure.

Review the results of inspections beyond basic maintenance. Make sure the smoke and mirrors of a market-ready house aren’t misleading you.

Also, realize that some quirks are common for the older home: stress fractures, expansion and shrinking of doors, standard 1950s two-pronged outlets, or even a lack of gutters are all common quirks.

Don’t sweat the small stuff and instead, zero in on the most common and crucial updates—electrical wiring, heating, ventilation and air condition systems (HVAC), plumbing and the foundation. Next, focus on the “others” like windows, faucet gaskets (which should be replaced every 5 to 7 years), toilet seats, and light-fixtures.

As Warden says, “Painting—the cheapest and easiest to fix, but don’t wait—its only paint.”

Most importantly, know what you’re getting into before you take the plunge on a home purchase. Use your phone to record the update requirements during your walk-through with a home inspector, and use it later when consulting a contractor.

Once you’ve signed on the dotted line, Wardens says finding and hiring a contractor often is the most unnerving challenge. His advice is to use the contractual agreement as a tool to clarify exactly what you want and exactly what the contractor will provide. Don’t just sign a standard

agreement by the contractor. Be clear and specific about your requirements. Use resources such Pinterest, houzz.com and floor plan creators to come up with ideas.

Print them out and use them as references. Sign each image or layout, have your contractor do the same, and add it to the contract. In a climate where the warranty on work only lasts until the last payment is made, make sure you are working with a reputable company that will do the job correctly. And finally, use the government to help with the process. “In Houston, as in most cities, obtaining a permit ensures the work will be done correctly,” Warden says.

Warden, who splits his time between real estate agent and home rehabber, notes “I don’t build for the masses, I build what I would want. Every home has a story, and it is up to the owner to create the ending.” Spoken like a true artist.

Where To Start

B on e s New columns were fashioned after the homes original structure.

Bungalow brakes down the most important updates.

Electrical: Aluminum wiring has been used since the early 1900s and, for a period of time, was used to wire homes. Because of safety hazards, it needs to be updated to copper wires.

Foundation: Foundation issues and how to address them vary from home to home, but in Houston, stress fractures are common and so is the advice to “water your home,� with the goal of keeping the moisture content of the soil under your home constant so there will be less seasonal swelling and shrinking.

“I’m a very sensitive person,” says artist Meredith Pardue. “I’m sensitive to sights, bright colors, smells, noises, textures. So I’ve found that having a soft, pale palette where the colors are in a small range of nature soothes me.”

“Soothes” is one way to put it. But for newcomers in Meredith’s Austin condominium, stronger verbs may come to mind: “enchants,” maybe, or “strikes with unbearable envy” if we’re really being honest. The home, built in 2001 in Austin’s hilly Westlake area, takes cues from Meredith’s artwork — paintings that favor pops of color laid over spacious, breathable backgrounds. A largescale piece in the dining room reflects an abundance of negative space and echoes the airy nature of its surroundings.

“If I’ve got a chance to feel like I’m living in a cloud, I’m going to go with that,” Meredith says as she gestures to tall, ceiling-high windows in her living room that flood the bottom floor with light — one of the features she says attracted her to this home in 2010.

A study in neutrals, the condo’s open floor plan receives the sun with creams, wood and black, which act together as a canvas for

Meredith’s passion: original art.

As soon as you walk into the foyer, a fabulous piece of taxidermy immediately greets you — a Marcus Kenney original — of a deer festooned with necklace beading, plastic colored safety pins, and a Sally Field-esque wig. Marcus, a longtime friend of Pardue, said, “It’s a cross between me and my old cocker spaniel,” Meredith laughs.

The deer is just one of many striking pieces that lines the walls

Living Room: “I inherited this from my grandmother” Meredith Pardue says of her early 1950's Henredon sectional.

“She used it in her formal living room, so my family shares decades of warm memories sitting on that sofa.” Pardue reupholstered it in an ivory velvet from Sunbrella. The wooden side table is from Target, cowhide rug from Jean-Marc Fray Antiques in Austin. The lucite side table and glasstop coffee table are CB2.

Pardue commissioned Florida artist Carol Woodland to create the driftwood lamp. The barcelona chairs are from Austin natives, Four Hands Furniture.

of this home, many of which suggest a connection to nature: a mounted tousle of Spanish moss here*, a framed pinhole shot of flowers there.* They form a larger collage of the natural world inside this two-story abode, where coral and rock formations, a tall driftwood lamp, and other remnants of the wild gently rest — all tamed inside Meredith’s domestic serenity. *Artists behind these pieces, respectively: Jenny Ellerbe (Monroe, LA) May Perkins Benton (Jackson, MS).

Dining Room: The statement of the dining space is the painting by Pardue. The dining table is a 19th century French farm table from Traditions on Trenton in West Monroe, LA., the dining chairs are from Four Hands Furniture in Austin and Pardue found the pair of side chairs in an antique shop in Monroe, LA. “I loved the ecclesiastic feel of them, but the leather was in bad shape.� To modernize them, Pardue reupholstered them in a white vinyl.

The chandelier is an estate sale find and the counter stools are Ikea.

Master Bedroom: The headboard is a custom design in white linen. The bolster is also a custom design by Margaret Ann Lostracco of MALI Design and is paired with a Restoration Hardware white stonewashed linen duvet and a green velvet quilt from Anthropologie. The bed is flanked by side tables from Crate and Barrel and lamps from Stray Dog Designs.

Sitting Area: The painting is by artist Demond Matsuo. Pardue saw the piece at an opening reception for her own exhibition in 2009. It spoke to me so strongly that I just bought it on the spot. I love the androgenic grace and power of the figure. It reminds me of a warrior ballerina, as the figure stands so regally in an armed grande arabesque.The bench is a Jackson chaise lounge in ivory leather from Room and Board, and the dresser is from Oly.

Pardue built the marble side table frame (a cabriole leg steel frame) while doing a welding apprenticeship with Randall James Boliba in the summer of 2000. “The marble is from the bank where my dad used to work.” When they demo-ed the old 1920’s bank building downtown, Pardue’s father salvaged the marble scraps.

There’s always a project afoot in the Dallas home of David Pratt, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.

Formal living: “This is a hodgepodge of different things I’ve found throughout the years,” David Pratt says of the living room in his 1927 bungalow.

Pratt purchased the Jim Bagley painting above the fireplace on a trip to Santa Fe, and the Dale Evans painting is by Dallas artist Steven Shores. The chairs are from Mecox, the sofa is a custom design and the foo dog statues are from China. Grange Hall created the succulent arrangement.

D

avid Pratt’s work in commercial real estate keeps him on the road 75 percent of the time, traveling to Las Vegas and Shanghai and many points in between. So it’s no surprise that he has spent the last 10 years turning his West Highland Park bungalow into a cozy, comfortable oasis where he can leave his luggage at the door.

“My projects take an inordinate amount of time because I’m never here,” he says. “My contractors are always ready to strangle me by the time I get back.”

Though progress is sometimes slow, the result is always worth the wait. Over the years, Pratt has remodeled the living room, the den, the kitchen, and the master bathroom. Most recently, he turned the garage into a guesthouse that serves as a beach-themed getaway for out-of-town visitors.

Dallas designer Marco French helped Pratt with the layout of the house, as well as the cabinets, the wall paint and some other details. But for the most part, Pratt’s eye for design pulled the place together— that and the skills he picked up from his mother, who was an interior designer for almost 60 years.

“If anything, this is just a hobby that I’ve enjoyed over the years,” he says. “And I guess it was in my blood, to a degree.” Pratt’s grandmother was also in the home furnishings business, and he says he has an attic full of items she collected throughout her lifetime.

Pratt’s next project—there is always a next project—will include revamping the master bedroom and the guest bedroom.

“Growing up with a mom who was a designer, we kind of lived in change, constant redoing. So I think I’m used to it,” he says. “It’s almost a way of life.”

Pratt: “I love the old house, but I like having a more contemporary feel with it.”

itting on a tree-laden cul-de-sac in south Austin, Erin Williamson’s home is the picture of traditionalism. Dark beams line the two-story Tudor’s exterior, and a trimmed green lawn greets visitors out front. But if you were expecting convention, a push of the front door changes all that.

“I think every room should have the element of surprise,” says Williamson, an interior designer, mother, and voice of the popular design blog Design Crisis (design-crisis.com). We’re standing in her beautifully wallpapered foyer—all geometrics and cream—which opens to her family’s lively living room.

Built in 1977, the home was formerly awash in pea green, both on the walls and the carpet. “I like green, but it’s a tough color to get right,” says Williamson, who, instead, took a jewel box approach to her home. Each room is a self-contained universe of prints, gilds in every shape, and thrifted finds sourced from the Round Top Antiques Fair and consignment stores near and far.

A former working artist who used to create elaborate sets—think detailed houses out of notebook sheets, burnt paper remnants, and

timeworn ephemera from family—for her photographs, Erin says it was only a matter of time before she started creating “sets” on a larger scale, a la family rooms and entire houses. Indeed, these spaces have a theatrical feel, almost like stages for an elaborate play, with rooms that would make Wes Anderson raise a brow.

That’s because Williamson’s signature style is one that relishes in the past with vintage aplenty, but also injects a good dose of humor. “I’m not afraid to fail,” says Williamson, “but I am afraid of playing it safe.”

To the right of the foyer is a sitting room cast in deep blue with a painting from an antique store in northern California.

“The color palette for the whole house was inspired by that painting,” explains Williamson. It’s a portrait of a raspberry-lipped woman in a long white dress tilting her head heavenward, with an Arthurian village in the background and a pink-gold sky. “My benchmark for success has often been that if it looks good with the lady, it’s going to work.”

She makes it sound so simple, no?
