LETTER EDITOR’S

One of the great pleasures of editing this publication is being habitually exposed to design from across the country—an endless array of styles, influences, penchants and the like. In any given week, I review some three dozen homes from more than 15 cities. It’s an abundance to see, and to weigh in on. The weekly parade of living rooms and gardens, kitchens and closets, laundry rooms and bedrooms gives me a wonderful perch from which to view American design. If you asked what I’ve observed lately, I would say it’s exuberance. I’ve spotted elation expressed subtlety with tone-on-tone interiors, and conversely, seen it pronounced with heaps of whimsy and sparkle in vibrant wallpapers, glossy walls and astonishing lighting. What these homes, and the people living in them, are conveying is their taste and joyfulness. Aren’t we all fortunate to delight in the mix?

Can art enhance architecture, and vice versa? Architecture can be art, and art can be integral to architecture. Good artwork enhances, so we need to know when to stop and allow it to finish the visual composition. At the same time, lighting is critical to art placement—filtered and indirect for sensitive pieces, and so on. Not every

CHECK IN HOTEL MAGDALENA

For a getaway steeped in local character, book a stay at Hotel Magdalena, a project from Austin’s Bunkhouse hospitality company completed with renowned architecture firm Lake|Flato Architects. The 89-room property located on Music Lane in the popular South Congress neighborhood pays homage to both its locale and early 1970s lakeside lifestyle. As the first mass timber boutique hotel in North America, it references the site’s former 1950s Terrace Motor Hotel constructed of exposed heavy timber beams and columns with a midcentury modern aesthetic. It also leverages generous outdoor spaces and lush landscaping completed by Ten Eyck Landscape Architects. “Our goal was to create an authentic Austin experience that celebrates the area’s history, while connecting people to the outdoors and each other,” says architect Michael Britt. You’ll also rest easy knowing sustainability was a driving force for the design, with rainwater collected in a cistern system used for irrigation. hotelmagdalena.com

wall should have an architectural finish that conflicts with art, and walls should be proportioned to take on pieces. At what point do you select art? Choosing a few key pieces may occur early on, but final selections typically happen when a space is almost finished. If the homeowner is a major collector, oftentimes the space will be designed around the art; they are buying it as you are designing, so it is discussed as an integral part of the home. How can art and architecture coexist? Think about the art ahead of time, its placement and lighting (both natural and supplemental). Consider where the pieces will be placed in relation to outdoor views and architectural finishes. Also, think about traffic patterns so the artwork is not vulnerable, yet it is easily viewable from an appropriate distance.

In many ways, home is where the art is. And for architects like Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio in Houston, it is also an essential element of any project. “Art has always had a huge influence on my way of thinking and my design,” Rottet recalls. Read on as she dives deeper with us into a discussion about the intersection of art and architecture in her work. rottetstudio.com

BEHIND THE BRAND CUSH LIVING

In 2019, Samantha Falkner’s passions for fabric and the outdoors united when she founded Cush Living— a luxury outdoor lifestyle brand specializing in custom-design services for replacement pillows and cushions, furniture for both outdoor and indoor living, and more. Fast forward to today, and the womanowned, minority business with domestic production in Dallas is “three years young and thriving,” Falkner says. Right in time for summer soirees, we asked Falkner to share more about her company. cush-living.com Tell us about your products. Custom replacement cushions, decorative pillows and cabana beds are our most popular items right now. However, we love a new challenge. If you dream it, we can design it! What services do you provide clients? They range from spatial planning to custom-made solutions. While our focus is on textile-related products, we’ve noticed the demand for custom outdoor furniture rapidly growing. We recently expanded our line to include fabric-covered cabana beds, modular seating, cubes and side tables. What makes Cush Living unique? We take pride in the innovation we offer through our designs, and we differentiate ourselves by creating solutions with functional versatility. “Basic” is not in our vocabulary; we push clients to think outside the box when it comes to design and fabrication.

Dallas design aficionado Brian Bolke’s shop, The Conservatory on Two, recently celebrated its expanded 9,000-squarefoot location in Highland Park Village. “We were able to grow our assortments across all categories, especially homewares,” Bolke says. Designed in collaboration with local architecture and interior design firm Droese Raney, the loft-like space wows with organic forms, juxtaposed with modern design classics. Floor-toceiling windows provide extraordinary natural light while offering stunning vistas of the city. Pro tip: Don’t miss the Teak Tearoom, a beautiful treetop cafe. theconservatorynyc.com

OUTSIDE INTEREST THE COMMONS AT HERMANN PARK

Houstonians seeking fresh air and vitamin D are in luck. Hermann Park Conservancy and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department recently broke ground on the Commons: a 26-acre space in Hermann Park set for completion in January 2024. “The Commons will be a place for everyone,” says Doreen Stoller, president of Hermann Park Conservancy. Revitalizations helmed by landscape architecture firm Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates will include multiple play areas for children, a central lawn, new picnic grounds and more. Marlon Blackwell—an American Institute of Architecture award winner—will also contribute several designs including new pavilions and a fantastical carousel. Meanwhile, thousands of new trees and plants will create vital bird habitats. hermannpark.org

A husband-and-wife team, they work alongside each other at their multifaceted designbuild fabrication company, KKDW. “It’s unusual in our industry for a company to do everything—fullservice design, build, installation, project management, client relations—under one roof,” DeWitt says. “But those are the aspects we’re passionate about and laserfocused on.” Here’s more from DeWitt about KKDW, their services and what inspires them most. kkdwconstruction.com Tell us about your partnership. We met in a recording studio playing music on a friend’s record in 2010. From playing in bands to running a company, we’ve always had a special connection for collaborating in tandem. What is your background? Travis began as a cabinetmaker. Along the way, he learned to weld and gained experience as a steel fabricator. He opened his own cabinet shop, which is what he was doing when we met. I was still a student at The University of Texas at Austin, interested in furniture making. He had a shop full of tools and showed me the ropes. I took it from there and started KKDW.

What are your roles? I’m the creative director, guiding the overall direction of our company—from holistic thinking, to how we share our story and projects with clients, to how we think about ourselves and our work. Travis is the director of design and operations, translating between big-picture ideas and implementation. If I’m painting in broad strokes, he’s doing pointillism and actually creating an image. Describe your offerings. Everything we design, we build. In commercial spaces, we do all the parts you see, interact with, sit on, eat on, work on. We talk to clients about their brand and goals. And then we design the space, build and install it. At our core, we’re a design-build fabrication company, but we also offer complementary full-service interior design and procurement, project management and, if it’s the right fit, logo and brand work. What inspires you? Luckily, our interests and inspirations are in sync. The most powerful source of inspiration for us is travel. Changing our perspective, seeing new views, food, people and different ways of doing things always sparks thousands of ideas.

IN GOOD TASTE The adage, “you eat with your eyes first,” certainly rings true at the new Sadelle’s in Dallas. Eye candy abounds in the form of saturated jewel tones, old-world millwork accented in polished brass, luxe banquette seating and statement lighting that includes a vintage opaline glass chandelier and handblown Art Deco pendants. As with the restaurant’s previous locations—in New York City, Paris and beyond—designer Ken Fulk was tasked by luxury hospitality company Major Food Group with creating an atmosphere that honors the locale. “What started as a theatrical tribute to bagels in the original SoHo location evolved into an over-the-top brasserie experience that transports guests with a colorful palette and Belle Époque details—a fitting tribute to the historic Highland Park Village,” Fulk says. sadelles.com

AN EYE-CATCHING LINE OF WALLCOVERINGS AND TEXTILES CHAMPIONS THE SPIRIT AND TRADITIONS OF LOUISIANA. W R I T T E N B Y K E L LY V E LO C C I J O L L I F F E

For over six decades, artist Francis X. Pavy has been keenly observing his South Louisiana surroundings. The region’s unique landscape and rich Cajun culture have been driving forces behind the narrative—and iconography—of his vibrant paintings. “I’m intrigued by the complexity of life here,” says Pavy, who’s been working out of his suburban Lafayette studio for 40 years. “It has depth and meaning; there is a story to be told.” Now, Pavy is drawing on imagery from his vast body of artwork for a debut line of textiles and wallcoverings.

Marshgrass, a block print featuring small vertical lines rising from a horizontal base. He first noticed the symbol, which is used to designate marshland on a map, in a geologist’s office as a child. “I didn’t consciously say, ‘I need to remember this,’ but it became a part of an inner visual vocabulary that I filed away in my brain.” Then there is Briars, a creeping branch-like design inspired by thorny plants of the same name. As a teenager, Pavy watched as the sun illuminated a cluster growing in an empty field. “Sometimes, imagery makes a burning impression in my memory,” he says. “Or it comes back to me in a flash.” The artist, who teamed up with his wife to bring the line to fruition, is also using this opportunity to develop new

motifs, one of which portrays coastal Louisiana’s delicate ecosystem. In Stormy Waters, Pavy depicts “flora and fauna overcome by storm water.” They adorn the fabric alongside iconography of a man with his dog and a small telephone pole symbolizing “the edge of civilization.” This narrative is inspired by the state’s historic flood, in 2016, and devastation the artist witnessed firsthand. “I’m interpreting what I see in Louisiana,” he explains. “We have our own identity in food, speech and music. So why shouldn’t we have our own unique identity in art?” shop.pavy.com

LEADING MAKERS IN THE DESIGN WORLD DISCUSS THE IMPORTANCE OF ART AND CRAFT SCHOOLS, AND WHY NOW MAY BE THE TIME TO ENROLL. W R I T T E N BY M A I L E P I N G E L

Over the past several years, many people have spent time getting in touch with their creative side. As a result, an exploration, and revival, of craft—think pottery, woodworking and painting—has led to a renewed interest in arts educational programs. Several highly acclaimed schools across the country oﬀer dynamic workshops and degrees, allowing students to spend years honing in on a specialized area of study or simply attend classes to become better

acquainted with a new interest. Who better to weigh in on the merits of a formal education than three celebrated alums: glass artist Dale Chihuly on Haystack Mountain School of Crafts; industrial designer Jay Sae Jung Oh on Cranbrook Academy of Art; and glass artist and painter Corey Pemberton on Penland School of Craft. Their success stories not only bolster the legacies of these unique institutions but serve as inspiration for the next generation of makers.

For Oh, Cranbrook’s broad-thinking approach lured her from Seoul to the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, campus. “Their industrial design program lets you focus on your interests,” she explains. “The historical buildings, the environment—students from other majors like architecture, engineering, even anthropology—was fascinating to me.” This influx of varying viewpoints intensified her creativity, and she quickly garnered the attention of design pioneer Gaetano Pesce, who oﬀered her an internship and job opportunity after graduation. While now focused on her successful eponymous firm, Oh finds guest-lecturing at her alma mater a symbiotic relationship. “I like the engagement,” she says. “I get to see what students are interested in, and who they think the rock stars of design are today.” While studying graphic design at Virginia Commonwealth University, Los Angelesbased Pemberton developed an interest in glassmaking that led him to a summer

program at Penland in North Carolina. “My hand skills improved so much that the instructor oﬀered me a job,” he recalls. Pemberton went on to assistantships and residencies, returning to Penland for a coveted two-year fellowship where he augmented glassmaking with painting and other artforms. Today, Pemberton continues to remain busy, dividing his time between glassmaking and painting practices; an upcoming teaching stint at Haystack this summer; and serving as Director of Crafting the Future, a program creating more equitable opportunities for BIPOC students interested in the arts. “Craft schools are immersive and less formal than the collegiate route,” he says. “I’m a huge advocate [of them] and know how much you can learn.”

IMAGES: COURTESY OF RESPECTIVE ARTISTS.

Regarded as one of the founding fathers of contemporary American craft, Chihuly studied glass making at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Upon graduating, he enrolled at the Rhode Island School of Design where he received an MFA and taught for many years. Throughout his tenure, Chihuly spent summers teaching at Haystack in Deer Isle, Maine, during which time he realized “artists teaching artists is vital to helping students find their own path.” Founded in 1950, the school was considered experimental because it had no permanent faculty, nor did it oﬀer degrees. Remaining true to its roots, Haystack’s workshops and residencies are still taught by visiting faculty and remain sought-after programs today. Chihuly credits Haystack with influencing him to cofound Pilchuck Glass School in Seattle, and, while no longer teaching, he continues to encourage “students to surround themselves with other artists. Watch how they live, not just how they work.”

UKRAINE’S GUNIA PROJECT SHINES A LIGHT ON THE COUNTRY’S LONG-STANDING CRAFT TRADITION. W R I T T E N BY M I C H E L L E B R U N N E R

In folk art, every brush stroke and every stitch tells a story, and when those crafts are lost to time, so too is a piece of history. It’s a reality that Natasha Kamenska and Maria Gavryliuk, founders of the Gunia Project, know all too well. “Handmade items have always been at the heart of Ukrainian life, yet few people pass on the beauty of this national culture to their children,” says Gavryliuk. In 2017, while volunteering at the Ivan Honchar Museum’s National Centre of Folk Culture in Kyiv, both women began to wonder why younger generations had forgotten folk crafts integral to their heritage. It sparked an idea: Form a collective of artists dedicated to producing Ukrainian crafts for a new audience using the traditional, timeworn skills of their ancestors.

LUXESOURCE.COM

Ceramic plates available through Ukraine’s Gunia Project depict religious and folk motifs from the country’s rich artistic history.

The duo embarked on a quest to find artisans, traveling throughout Ukrainian villages to seek out craftspeople by word of mouth. At a market in the town of Yavoriv, they encountered a gunya, a handmade sheep’s wool coat that serves as a talisman-like garment used during major life events. Finding inspiration in the object, they christened the company Gunia Project in 2019. Handmade items sold through the collective include fiber arts, glass and jewelry, in addition to a large inventory of painted ceramics featuring playful takes on folk-art motifs and religious themes. Many of the pieces sport images of saints and angels that loom large in Ukrainian faith and lore (their ceramic production

began with a single artist who happened to be trained as an icon painter). While the artistic sensibility of these pieces feels modern and fresh, the subject matter is timeless and deeply ingrained in the national identity. For Gavryliuk and Kamenska, preserving Ukrainian culture for future generations has acquired even more significance as of late. “With the war at our doors, we know that our culture needs to be preserved and cherished,” says Gavryliuk. “Art is so closely intertwined with history that destroying folk crafts destroys our cultural heritage, and the country as a whole,” adds Kamenska. guniaproject.com, thenopo.com

Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe seek out beautiful pieces for design projects as well as their Los Angeles shop from flea markets, antique fairs and the like. Shown here is one such find: a vintage carved-wood entry door.

LUXESOURCE.COM

My partner Amy Kehoe and I have built our lives around being out in the world— at craft fairs, art shows, antique fairs and even flea markets—unearthing sources of inspiration. Although I enjoy searching for things online, it’s important for us to touch and feel objects. There’s only so much you can see about patina, texture and scale on a screen! We met a young woman, just out of art school, at a craft show a few years ago, and she was making beautiful sculptures and serveware from wood. I don’t want to sound too ‘woo-woo,’ but when she invited us to pick up her work, I could feel the energy she put into making it. The way she sands her pieces gives them a unique surface, something that’s impossible to manufacture. It’s exhilarating to meet people who are passionate about creating and making. Hunting and shopping in person is also where kismet happens. At times, I almost feel like a water witch with a divining rod because something just draws me to a piece—I find what I love by clearing my mind and exploring. I recently discovered a forged-iron company that makes the most extraordinary pieces and when I first saw them, I got jelly belly for a few minutes because it was such a thrill. This is an era where appreciation for art and craft is growing, and we are embracing it on all levels, from crude to posh and fancy. The importance of handmade goods can’t be overstated—it’s fundamental; it’s everything. nickeykehoe.com

Common Threads KYLE BUNTING RETURNS TO HIS ROOTS WITH AN AMERICANA-INSPIRED COLLECTION. For hide rug designer Kyle Bunting, family has always been at the core of his work. Take, for example, the Austinbased creatives lauded range of rugs, wall coverings and home accessories, which incorporate methods passed down from his father Jim, who owned a hide art and furniture company. Bunting’s inventive take on these techniques ultimately led to his eponymous empire of beautiful yet functional décor objects for the home. Now, more than two decades since getting his start, Bunting’s work is once again being shaped by those near and dear. This time around, Bunting looked to his mother, Peggy, and her longstanding passion for quilting as inspiration for his latest collection, Stateside. Playing off the striking patterns and graphic geometry of these traditional American textiles, the colorful new rug designs fuse the handiwork of both parents—all with Bunting’s signature spin. Each floor covering is created from pieced-together scraps, culled from repurposed hide cuttings and excess material collected during production. What’s more, the collaboration also presents an opportunity to spotlight an unsung artform. Women like Peggy, and her family, have looked to quilting as a means of expression, love and practicality for centuries. “One of my most prized quilts was my grandmother’s,” she explains. “This handmade heirloom was crafted 65 years ago, and it’s evident that each stitch was painstakingly, and thoughtfully, made.” It is the Buntings’ hope that these modern interpretations may also become treasured keepsakes and serve as timeless reminders of the historical fabric that connects families from one generation to the next. kylebunting.com

LIFE FORM To achieve the Maurice Floor Lamp’s melting, scale-like texture, Santa Fe furniture designer Natan Moss rolls, shapes and fires each ceramic tendril before meticulously adhering them to the lamp’s base. Compared to Moss’ smaller vessels, these larger forms can take up to three days to compose. Tactile and life-like, Moss named the head-turning series after Maurice Sendak’s book, Where The Wild Things Are, after seeing a resemblance between its otherworldly characters and his work. lawson-fenning.com

ORIGIN STORY Ceramicist Jonathan Cross is drawn to the natural world, namely forms found in American southwest geology and archaeology. These sources of inspiration are evident in Cross’ Side Tables, which come to life in his Joshua Tree studio using the rammed earth technique. Cross begins by layering and compressing different clays, eventually excavating the desired form from a solid clay block. The figure is left to dry for a month before being loaded into a wood-fired kiln where it is transformed into stone. thefutureperfect.com

“For Lutron, light is energy; light is mood; light is a narrator of time.”

WORK WITH NATURE Among Lutron’s top tips is to design with the light, not against it. “Think of moonlight, sunrise, light-filtered green through trees, late-night embers in a dying fire— each moment is a canvas, and light is what soaks that canvas with color and feeling,” the team says. “Blend indoor and outdoor lighting with intention to match your mood and cultivate well-being.”

When interior designer Summer Thornton’s Dallas client asked for a marble primary bath, she took the request to heart, sheathing the space in not one, but three different types: Arabescato Corchia in large-format slabs; Grey Lilac on the sink vanities; and Calacatta Viola for the makeup vanity, casings and windowsills. “It was quite the puzzle to install, but the nuance adds depth and interest,” says the Chicago-based designer. “The accent marbles are powerful, without being jarring. We were drawn to both the lilac shade as well as the Calacatta Viola’s plum tones.” All three stones also make an appearance on the floor, where they are carefully laid out in a “Mondrian-esque

pattern” in conjunction with strategically placed textured metallic tiles. The latter, along with a polished-nickel soaking tub and an antique wall mirror, bring additional light into the space. “There’s only one window, so these reflective surfaces bounce light around the room, making it feel twice as large,” notes Thornton. The metallic fittings and accents were also chosen to help add warmth, which is important in all-stone baths that can sometimes come across as cold. To further encourage an inviting atmosphere, Thornton selected cerused-oak wooden cabinetry and a tactile wicker vanity chair to complete the stunning scheme. summerthorntondesign.com

For the primary bath of a landmarked Tudor residence in Dallas, designer Summer Thornton employed three different types of marble to achieve its dynamic appearance. Hammered German Silver tiles from Paris Ceramics offset marble flooring. The space is outfitted with a polished-nickel tub from Catchpole & Rye, fittings from Waterworks, Murano-glass vanity scones from Jean-Marc Fray and a Vaughan ceiling fixture.

“Whether you are in the market for wood floors, carpet or tile, Trinity can fulfill any of your flooring or tilework needs. We take pride in all of our work and want you to take pride in your new eye-catching showers, backsplashes, floors and more.”

MOODY MOMENT STUDIO LIFE/STYLE

Shannon Wollack and Brittany Zwickl, the duo behind West Hollywood firm Studio Life/Style, approached this Los Angeles powder room with a sophisticated-yet-daring eye. “We knew early on that we wanted to use a stone with lots of movement and color for the custom vanity,” says Zwickl. The designers landed on Calacatta Viola marble, which features burgundy veining that pairs perfectly with a deep green plaster finish on the walls. Below, Zwickl dives into more detail. studio-lifestyle.com What was the inspiration behind the design? A powder room presents the perfect place to have a little fun! We were trying to create something moody with a touch of drama, and a dark color paired with striking stone always works well in small spaces.

Tell us about the wall treatment? A contrasting wall color can help bring out the stone’s natural tones. Here, we chose Portola Paints & Glazes’ Roman Clay in the Lone Park shade, which adds extra depth to the room and plays with the reflection of light. Lindsey Adelman scones and a Gio Ponti−style mirror complete the look.

Statement slabs are one of the most effective ways to transform a space. Therefore, when the owners of this Boise, Idaho, residence called upon designer Jordan Yankovich of KovichCo Interiors to revamp their primary bath, she doubled down on green-hued Scala marble. “This stone has so much personality, with large green pools that the clients loved,” says Yankovich. “Real stone always feels new and fresh because you’re constantly discovering different patterns in the veining.”

Maximizing natural light was important to the scheme, so the designer added a see-through gas fireplace which allows daylight to flow between the bath and bedroom. Copper, nickel, steel, bluestone and oak complement the marble and round out the room’s palette. “The client is a mining engineer, so these finishes are a nod to his profession,” notes Yankovich. “The materials are fancy, but they are used in a way that feels timeless and approachable.” kovichco.com

EASY ELEGANCE

For designer Elizabeth Lawrence, a ground-up guest residence in Southampton provided a unique opportunity to bridge the old with the new. Building upon Georgian-influenced architecture by Michael Dwyer (largely inspired by Frances Elkins’ interiors), and led by her client’s appreciation for antiques, Lawrence began layering palette and pattern to imbue a sense of calm, collected sophistication to

the dwelling, which serves as a year-round getaway. The result reads “a bit like an English country home, but with a Southampton twist,” notes Lawrence. She kept the ethos of-a-place with choice details like subtly coastal paint colors custom-crafted by Donald Kaufman throughout, and a bespoke entry mural by Artgroove depicting the seaside town. “The mix of casual living in a formal setting is what makes this project so interesting,” muses the designer, pointing to the breezy spirit of the open-concept living-dining room—a pleasing contrast to the grand

architectural detailing. A similar dichotomy can be found in the surprising throughlines that lace together collections of wooden antiques, sumptuous, high-pile carpets and historically reverent textiles. Modern artworks and contemporary lighting are hallmarks of the design, and Lawrence’s artful placements— like an enormous Noguchi lantern above the dining table—typify the “Southampton twist” she endeavored to achieve at the outset. “At night, when that’s the only thing lit,” she notes, “it almost looks like the moon is hanging there.” bunnywilliams.com

WORLDS AWAY

When a couple’s search for a larger primary residence came up short, they abandoned the idea and turned to landscape architect John Howard to reconceive their existing Buckhead, Georgia, backyard instead. Crowning the greenspace, a potting shed designed by architect William B. Litchfield (an homage to Bunny Mellon’s folly at Oak Spring Farm), underscores the bucolic manner of the newly appointed oasis. Trellising strung with Madison jasmine and climbing roses “serves

as a transitional, unifying moment between the terraced lawn and surrounding woodlands,” notes Howard. In collaboration with Litchfield and interior designer Liza Bryan, he specified bluestone pavers, barnwood paneling and a soapstone sink for flower arranging. Happily, the clients purport to using the shed as a bar and serving area when entertaining, too, treating friends and family to all the charms of a pastoral soiree—from the convenience of Atlanta proper. howarddesignstudio.com

URBAN RESPITE

“We wanted to create a country house in the city,” shares Sara Gilbane of her clients’ Manhattan residence. Taking cues from a prolific collection of antiques and artworks, the designer set about capturing the spirit of the family’s ancestral Pennsylvania farmhouse in their newly purchased downtown apartment, which she transformed from austere white box to characterful flat alongside architect Gerard Beekman. Take the guest room, where, enveloped by a painterly Lewis & Wood wallpaper, Gilbane employed streamlined canopies to “cozy up” antique metal beds dressed in early American quilts. Or the entry hall, where the selection of tumbled stone flooring in a timeless black-and-white check lays the foundation for oil painting gallery walls and millwork painted a chalky hue that feels snatched from a country residence benefitting from centuries of patina. “We live in a world where so much is accessible and, in turn, so much is the same,” muses Gilbane. “That is in part why this ‘old with a twist’ aesthetic is resonating today— it’s just refreshing.” saragilbaneinteriors.com

David Scott

Joy Moyler

Young Huh

David Scott established his namesake firm, David Scott Interiors, with a belief that interiors should reflect the style and personality of their owner—not simply the designer. The natural connection a client has with their home drives each design, resulting in a portfolio of highly personal environments. With almost 30 years of experience, Scott has created diverse and artful designs in an array of styles for numerous clients. Visually stimulating yet supremely functional, Scott’s interiors gracefully meld the timeless elegance of the past with today’s modern aesthetic.

For interior designer Joy Moyler, fashion is a driving force behind her diverse body of work. Textiles, color and pattern seep into her projects, which are punctuated by bespoke details often found in haute couture. She developed a penchant for architecture after visiting Spain as a teenager. Enthralled by the light, color and textures of Madrid and Barcelona, she decided to pursue a Bachelor of Science in architecture. Moyler’s experience spans the globe and encompasses residential, retail, hospitality and commercial projects infused with local culture. Moyler’s portfolio also includes A-list celebrity residences, including Harry Winston’s Beverly Hills home.

A Detroit native, Young Huh received a law degree from Fordham University. While pursuing further education and an internship in interior design, Huh discovered her true calling and founded her New York City-based design firm in 2007. Resetting the design narrative for each project, Huh’s work is about finding harmony and dynamism through the application of classic and modern design principles. Thoughtful architectural details provide the groundwork for warm and welcoming interiors, each animated by sophisticated surface treatments, a singular play of pattern and color, as well as a touch of wanderlust.

BROOKE VAWTER, GLOBAL REAL ESTATE ADVISOR

“Relationship building is one of my strongest skills—there is nothing better than making new friends.”

BROOKE VAWTER,

BRIGGS FREEMAN SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY 214.642.8012 | briggsfreeman.com |

vawterbrookelyn

As launching new careers go, Brooke Vawter got a legendarily ambitious start. In 2019, she earned her real estate license and started with Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty. In the same year, she founded her interior design firm, Bowen Stone Design. During her second year, she was named a top producer. Upon being asked where she’ll go from here, she speaks to a balance of achievements. “Being a goal-oriented person, I want to sell more. But what is really important is growing professionally. I want to be the best mom to my one-year-old twins, Judd and Bowen, and a loving wife to my incredibly supportive husband, Barrett.” As for what she hopes to bring to each new client, the statement “It’s not just a transaction; it’s a relationships,” sums it up. “I strive to make my signature, in real estate and design, a high-quality offering at all price points and a lifetime connection to my client.”

Top & Right This 1955 Eichler home was redesigned by Dallas architect, Rene Garcia, with clean, minimalist lines and a harmonious open floor plan. Brooke Vawter’s real estate clients particularly loved the home’s primary bedroom suite and state-of-the-art chef’s kitchen, as well as the way that the indooroutdoor flow allows them to live naturally with the environment.

GO BEYOND BESPOKE That is what Vawter’s process with her clients does. “I have an edge and a creative vision when working with buyers or sellers,” she says. “I am able to consult sellers on how to showcase their home in the best light to maximize their return. I can provide vision for buyers to see opportunities or potential issues with quality of construction when trying to get the best for their investment.” She approaches each interaction in the same way she would in her design role: getting to know her clients, what they like and dislike, how they communicate, their expectations and what motivates them. “Every client is different, and my favorite part of this job is working with all sorts of personalities.”

“I’ve got a formula that sets clients up for success; you have to have a strategy and stay focused.” – BROOKE VAWTER

kristenfagelmandesign

At 39 years old, Kristen Fagelman decided to pivot. She wanted to embrace her creative side, and Kristen Fagelman Design was born. What began five years ago with projects for friends has grown into a business with a portfolio of gorgeous interior designs. Motivated by the satisfaction of the end result—there is nothing better, she says, than when a client walks in and sheds happy tears—Fagelman is lauded for her service-oriented approach. While the project is all about achieving the vision, the process is one of organization, interpersonal skills and collaboration. And function matters as much as form. “Most of my clients are families with young kids, and they know I appreciate practical design,” Fagelman says. “I select fabrics that are family-friendly and furniture that is of a high quality and will outlast trends.” Most importantly, she personalizes every space to the homeowner’s unique story.

Top Created with large parties in mind, this dining room boasts a custom table that was built by a local craftsperson to seat 14 people at the holidays.

•G reen living: I have an interest in sustainability and natural products. I’ve worked in many homes where the children suffer from allergies, and it’s made me aware of the importance of what we are putting in our homes. Doing simple things like using paint that doesn’t off-gas and choosing natural fibers in fabrics is a great start. Additionally, helping families to incorporate raised planters in their outdoor space is a healthy way to begin a farm-to-table lifestyle. •S upporting women: My vision for growth is to hire women who are juggling kids but still want a creative outlet. If given more flexibility, I think a better work model can be achieved for them.

sarahbrannoninteriors

After spending years honing her design skills at other notable firms, Sarah Brannon had established her own aesthetic and viewpoint on design. In 2018, she decided to open Sarah Brannon Interiors to bring that outlook to clients throughout Texas. It’s clear from her portfolio of projects—each personalized but with a touch of a signature look she calls “a fresh take on traditional”—that Brannon has struck the perfect balance between utilizing lessons from mentors and exercising her unique style. And practicality is par for the course. “I design for many families, so the completed space must not only enhance the beauty of their home but improve their lifestyle.” Brannon makes it happen, using durable fabrics and purposeful layouts. As for what’s next, she says, “I’m currently expanding nationwide and look forward to working with clients across the country.”

A LEGACY, THREEFOLD Brannon shares the impacts she strives to create. •F or my clients, I hope to cultivate a legacy of beauty and serenity in the home. •F or my social media followers, I hope to cultivate a legacy of inspiration. (Her bright and colorful Instagram feed has nailed it!). •F or my children, I hope to cultivate a legacy of hard work and dedication, leading by example.

BLAKE SMITH, PRINCIPAL

“Success for Taproot Studio is great design from the outside in.”

PATIENCE MAKES PERFECT

TAPROOT STUDIO 214.210.7006 | taprootstudio.com |

taprootstudio_

Smith starts every project learning all there is to know about the physical location, as well as the client. “The discipline of waiting for the facts to come in is uncomfortable as every designer will want to begin to draw, model, daydream and conceptually explore the possibilities,” he says. Instead of jumping in without all of the information, he conserves his creative energy until he knows what’s truly feasible for a space. When complications throughout the process inevitably arise, Smith regards every challenge as an opportunity. “Something great about design problems is that there are always great design solutions.”

While Blake Smith was studying in the U.K. at the Oxford Brookes University’s School of Architecture, he spent his summers traveling back to Texas, which allowed him to “cross-pollinate design ideas back and forth across the ocean,” he says. During this time, he came up with a phrase: “Landscape first, then architecture.” Now, as the principal and founder of Taproot Studio, Smith has made a career out of following this philosophy. Whether his team of five is working on an urban condominium building or a rural residence, they prioritize making a connection between the design and its surrounding context. Smith attributes the spatial awareness that informs his architectural decisions to frequent national park visits with his parents when growing up, saying, “That sense of enjoyment in discovering an outdoor room along a cliff wall while on a hike has never really left me.”

LOGAN EASLEY, OWNER AND LEAD DESIGNER

A NEED TO KNOW

TIMBER SKY INTERIORS 469.968.7012 | timberskyinteriors.com |

timberskyinteriors

There’s no replacement for time and experience. Particularly in the home space, an industry where one’s style and eye for design gets better and more refined with time. That’s what makes Logan Easley, owner of Timber Sky Interiors, such a gem in the Dallas community. Easley was surrounded by design from a young age, watching her father run his commercial stone and tile company in California. “The pride my dad had in his work, along with how he treated people with such kindness, had a big impact on me as a person and as a business owner,” Easley says. “He was setting me up to be a successful business owner long before I knew I would become one.” Now, the designer uses her firm to bring a sense of peace to her clients. “There’s no better feeling than knowing that we helped our clients find tranquility within their homes, which we hope will spill over into every aspect of their lives.”

Far right Textured baskets, bold word art and an oversize, custom chalkboard create a whimsical space for little ones to dream and create. Photography Sarah Linden Photography

The home is an incredibly personal space where style preferences, routines and family dynamics play a huge role in shaping a household. Easley keeps these influences top of mind when working with a new client. “The most meaningful step is asking them questions about how they live their daily lives,” she shares. “When designing a kitchen, I ask questions as specific as what kind of spatulas they use or their method for serving dinner each evening. I think it’s important that our spaces are not just beautiful, but that they are functional and help us navigate the day with ease.”

Stomping Ground A playfully contemporary abode in Austin comes to life alongside the family who calls it home.

WRITTEN BY MO N IQ UE MCIN TO S H | P H OTOGR AP H Y BY CAS EY D U NN | STYLING BY S ER R ACINNA STUD I O

hen a young couple first began imagining where their family would reside, “we didn’t even have any children yet,” laughs the wife. “But we knew the life we wanted our future kids to have.” They dreamed their brood-to-be would enjoy lush green days outdoors and lively gatherings in a contemporary yet playful house steeped in art and culture. Eventually, that vision became possible with the discovery of a lot perched on a limestone bluff and covered with a thick canopy of live oak trees overlooking Lake Austin. To make their dream here a reality, they turned to architect James LaRue and interior designer Fern Santini. “James brings incredible warmth to his designs,” the wife notes, “and Fern has such a wealth of knowledge.” As their family—which now includes two boys and a baby girl—began to grow, so too did their ideal abode. Navigating its footprint around the fairytaleworthy oak trees posed the first challenge. “The city of Austin classified them as heritage trees,” notes LaRue, whose project manager was Emily Haydon. “So they absolutely had to be protected.” With sufficient setbacks, he designed a U-shaped layout that deftly cradles the ancient oaks. Landscape designer Rick Scheen and landscape architect John Hall also created modular steel planter boxes mirroring the home’s rectilinear frame. “Our yard is the perfect spot for ‘tree ball,’ a game the boys invented with their grandfather,” muses the husband of the resulting outdoor spaces. “The trees are a part of our lives.” Though modern in style, the vernacular of the residence was deeply informed “by what we call Hill Country contemporary, using materials seen across the region,” continues the architect. These geographical details unfold through locally sourced limestone walls and wood ceilings, which flow from the exterior to interior. Accents of patinated copper paneling “pick up the color of the trees,” he adds. “It’s a living finish that will get richer over time.” Taking the baton, Santini further interpreted organic textures in unexpected ways inside. In the foyer, for example, a wall tiled in custom straw marquetry creates geometric facets that catch sunlight. Elsewhere, she collaborated with

LUXESOURCE.COM

builder Greg Reynolds to construct a cantilevered staircase from reclaimed oak beams. Paired with a glossy glass-and-brass railing, the design offers “a great mix of something crisp with something old,” describes the designer. “Combining new and vintage always keeps a house from looking dated.” LaRue and Santini also focused on cultivating a vibrant, family-centric lifestyle melding indoor and outdoor gatherings. The architect placed the entertainment area at the heart of the home, surrounding it “with glass on the sides, which brings in nature and reveals more of the site,” he explains. Meanwhile, glazed doors naturally guide festivities to the expansive negative-edge pool, where an elevated deck soars above the grounds. “It’s a beautiful moment, viewing the lake with the water falling behind you,” adds LaRue. Santini fleshed out these luminous spaces with an eclectic blend of art and decor. Because the clients opted to start from scratch, the designer wanted to bring in items with timeworn patina—from the vintage Belgian oak dining table to the kitchen’s antique rug. Conversely, for more contemporary furnishings, the couple gravitated “to works of art that just happened to be functional,” she recalls. These include pieces with dynamic silhouettes and a sense of movement, namely the dining room’s chandelier with colorful floating LED candles and the living room’s circular hanging chair “that everyone always gravitates toward,” laughs Santini. Meanwhile, other artworks lean more sentimental, including a piece in the foyer by French-Venezuelan artist Carlos Cruz-Diez that nods to the wife’s Venezuelan roots. Honoring the owners’ adopted hometown, Austin artists also enjoy pride of place, as evident in the living room’s Lance Letscher collage and the breakfast area’s neon installation by Evan Voyles. Strong color accents trend nostalgic as well, like the game room bar’s green hue selected in homage to Steve McQueen’s famed Jaguar, one of the husband’s favorite vintage cars. Surrounded by light and life, the kids already claim the house as their own, running well-worn circuits up and down the stairs. Indeed, this abode has become a scaffolding for memories the couple had always imagined. “I think we all had places we loved so much growing up in our home that we still reconstruct from memory,” shares the husband. No doubt this residence has given these owners exactly that.

his project was all about leveling up,” says designer Morgan Farrow of the second residence she’s completed for this young Dallas family. “Their former house was fairly modern, and they wanted this one to make a real statement.” After her clients purchased the abode—originally designed by builder Christopher Cole in collaboration with his lead designer, Nancy Moderi, and residential designer Jason Kongabel of Mohment—Farrow came onboard to flesh out the interiors with Cole and his project manager, Gustavo Estrada. For the designer, finding the sweet spot between elevated and family-friendly was key. “It’s a modern Texas version of a Santa Barbara residence,” continues Farrow, noting the family spends summers in the sunny seaside locale. “It has clean lines, a neutral palette and that California spirit that draws you outside.” With the couple expecting another baby as work began, she adds, “we needed to create conducive spaces for children without losing the sexy energy that matched the architecture.” Chimes the husband: “It was important to balance comfort during the day with a moody, glam feel in the evening after the kids go to bed.” With that in mind, Farrow conjured an alluring attitude throughout the interiors that’s evident immediately upon arrival. Stepping through the front door, visitors encounter a massive entry space evoking a private art gallery. A grand piano sits to one side, and an oversize art book stand to the other. On the wall hangs neon artwork reading, “Just kiss me, we can talk later.” Overhead, a glittering chandelier draws the eye farther upward to a Hunt Slonem bunny painting along the stairs. “The whole area has a very ‘glammy’ look, but it also feels light and gracious,” the designer explains. That vibe extends beyond the entry into a formal living room Farrow transformed into a luxurious study for the husband. “It’s tailored and refined—a great place to read or listen to podcasts,” he notes. Essentially a dark lounge attached to the husband’s office, “it’s like a jewel box but masculine,” Farrow describes. At the same time, its richly hued, sophisticated design

helps balance the drama of the dining room on the opposite side of the front door. “We needed to make it feel more intimate, so we clad the dining walls in a metallic grass cloth and found a plaster-looking paper to line the ceiling coffers,” recalls Farrow. What really makes the room sparkle, however, are the artworks on display. Gracing one wall is a Tyler Shields photograph, Glitter Mouth, which Farrow describes as “sexy but elegant.” On another wall, above two brass consoles flanking the fireplace, hang prints from Andy Warhol’s “Cowboys and Indians” series, which the husband sourced. Linking the dining room to the kitchen are a pantry with an old-school cocktail bar feel and a wine room, both of which underscore this home’s ability to host a party. But, according to the designer, the real “heartbeat” of the interiors is the main living area. Located just beyond the kitchen, the space perfectly illustrates Farrow’s aplomb in blending glamorous touches with family-friendly living. “The room is long, so we created both ‘formal’ and ‘flop’ zones,” she explains. “The big U-shaped sofa is the place everyone wants to be—just grab a kid and cozy up!” Punctuating the walls, black-and-white photographs by David Yarrow also “add a Ralph Lauren chicness to the room,” she notes. The interiors take a more serene turn in the primary bedroom, where the clients requested “soft tones and a Monet-like palette,” says the husband. With that directive, however, Farrow still ensured plenty of visual interest. She designed a paneled bed wall inset with plasterlike wallpaper inspired by the dining room’s coffered ceiling, which “adds dimension and gives the room some architecture,” she explains. Meanwhile, yet another Slonem painting, this one depicting a peacock, serves as a playful nod to the wife’s nickname for her design-loving spouse. “It was wonderful seeing all the textiles and wallpapers come together,” the husband muses, “but I had the most fun curating the art.” The collaboration was equally satisfying for the couple’s interior designer. “Exploring what ‘elevated’ means for these owners was a fun process,” Farrow says of the California dreamers. “You can create a well-appointed home that still functions for a family.”

Vintage wares and found objects gain new life in a Houston artist’s mixed-media works.

Treasure Hunter

n any given day, you’ll find artist Matt Messinger biking through downtown Houston’s warehouse district en route to his workspace at Hardy & Nance Studios. The atmosphere here is energetic, much like his artistic process. “Coffee flows and records play as I spread out collections of found objects and move them around to see what works best before the application process begins,” explains Messinger, noting he especially loves painting in the evenings during baseball games. “The studio is near Minute Maid Park and everything feels alive; I can even see the fireworks on Friday nights.” He funnels the vitality of this space into his art, which ranges from richly layered mixed-media pieces to sculptures comprising stacks of old ephemera. As a creative, Messinger wears many hats: collector, painter, sculptor and mixed-media collage artist. Because of this, his creations feel particularly one-of-a-kind. His process often begins with small-scale depictions in watercolor on paper before he advances to oil paint on canvas for the final piece. Vintage finds sourced from local thrift stores frequently find their way into the landscapes of his paintings and sculptures. Ranging in size from tiny marbles to used cash registers, they provide an element of surprise. However, Messinger doesn’t always begin with a clean, white canvas. “I’ll build up the backgrounds using found pieces of fabric for a tint or off-white color,” he notes. “Then, I paint an image on top of that to create dimension and texture.” In some instances, he’s even been known to work on rough surfaces like driftwood. Messinger’s career as an artist began not in a studio, but rather in the corporate world, where he worked as a graphic designer for more than a decade. His creative ability for fine art emerged over many years, allowing him to design and paint simultaneously. He credits his previous job for honing his talent. “Graphic design taught me how to develop an idea based on a small sketch or mock-up and expand it into a larger piece of work or series,” he explains. “I also learned the importance of composition and layout.” For Messinger—who is now represented by Devin Borden Gallery and Foltz Fine Art— the drive to create never ceases and the process never ends. “As an artist, I am always looking for a new idea or material, and I am constantly pushing myself to find something novel. I do not take anything for granted.”

Houston artist Matt Messinger (opposite) has a passion for collecting, which spills into both his studio and his fine art practice. Found textiles and paper (left) often make their way into his mixedmedia collages. Messinger’s paintings (below) hint at his background in graphic design.

COLORFUL CONNECTION The thoughtful design of a Houston home brings together a vibrant family and their guests.

ur relationship with design is reciprocal. We’re forever shaping spaces to fit our needs. At the same time, our homes exert an equal influence on us, directing our movements within every environment we encounter. For Houston couple Gilbert and DeeDee Garcia, however, it wasn’t until they created a custom residence that they fully realized the power of design. Their former house’s traditional floor plan of compartmentalized spaces pushed their family into behaviors like using the dining table as a drop zone and eating meals at the family room coffee table. “It didn’t feel right, and yet those were our habits,” Gilbert recalls. Fast forward to living in their new modern abode— brought to life by architects Yoonchul You and Shawn Gottschalk and designers Laura Umansky and Shannon Smith—and details as simple as an extended kitchen island have changed everything. “We’re eating there together all the time now,” Gilbert says. “Something so small has had such a big impact on how our family interacts.” Along with these cozy connections, the homeowners also frequently host celebrations and fundraisers for dozens of guests. Because of that, explains You, “their new home was not just for family and friends, and the rooms couldn’t be single-function spaces.” Nor would solely interior rooms suffice. Taking advantage of a double lot that backs a park, You designed a 6,500-squarefoot main residence and an 800-square-foot guest house united by a network of patios at various levels. Built under the direction of You and Gottschalk, the design not only invites guests to discover fire features, a pool and park views, but also addresses building codes requiring living spaces to be situated at least two feet above the 500-year flood plain. “The biggest challenge in this neighborhood is navigating that vertical elevation requirement from a design perspective, so the structure doesn’t look like a beach house on stilts,” Gottschalk says. “Our solution uses planters and patios at various levels; there’s a difference of five or six feet from the home’s first floor to the pool, and it’s another two feet down to the natural grade.”

To temper the scale of the elevated twostory house, You also created strong horizontal rooflines complemented by layered planes of stone walls, board-and-batten and cement-board panels, and expanses of wood, “which brings warmth with its color and texture,” he notes. The effect continues inside, where rich walnut millwork creates similar magic on a backdrop of white walls, gray porcelain tile floors and broad window expanses. Meanwhile, Umansky and Smith worked to bring in furnishings sized to match the home’s grand scale. These include everything from an entry console long enough to display name tags for 100 guests, to a massive quartzite-topped cocktail table. The designers also styled the spaces to honor DeeDee’s vibrant personality. “I’m boisterous, and I love color,” the homeowner says. “My inspiration for the palette was a Texas sunset.” Fiery oranges enliven armchairs and the interior of a built-in library bookcase, which, when paired with a velvet-upholstered midcentury chair, “feels a little Mad Men,” Umansky says. Citrines and violets appear in artworks—including DeeDee’s collection representing Southwestern artists— and a proliferation of accent pillows. And shades of cerulean blue abound, from the living room’s leather-upholstered armchairs to a pigmentedoak cabinet positioned alongside the see-through steel staircase. Even in the outdoor living space, Umansky and Smith placed rope-wrapped chairs with bases seemingly dipped in a vat of ultramarine paint. “We think of a color palette as a thread that’s woven throughout a home,” Smith says. “We tried to make the outdoors as fun and fabulous as the indoors.” While DeeDee’s vision for a modern Southwestern style helped drive the aesthetic, Gilbert’s love of nature and diving helped inspire the abode’s crowning glories: two massive fish tanks. The walnut millwork surrounding them conceals plumbing while also creating dramatic room dividers. “A lot of thought went into designing the wood details, which were key in bringing the volume of the interiors down to human scale, making it feel more intimate,” Umansky explains. These unexpected features also provide a main talking point for guests— lured, yet again, by design’s irresistible pull.
