Top trends designers already regret:
🛋 Too much greige — Safe but emotionless & overdone.
🏛 Over-the-top neoclassical — gives Pinterest cosplay, not cozy home.
🖼 Bold ceilings
🪑Fast furniture — Trendy now, landfill later.
📚 Floating shelves
💡Design should feel good—not just look good on Instagram.

Don’t fall in love with the wrong home. Shop smart, stay grounded & end up with a home that fits your life by asking: Why am I moving? How long am I staying? What can I afford? What is non-negotiable? Do I have my team ready? Be smart & strategic, lean into the life you want to grow into.

Listen... selling your home is all about creating a feeling. The goal? Make buyers walk in and never want to leave. Sure, updates and staging matter... but never underestimate the power of cozy vibes and a warm, welcoming smell. (And nothing does that better than cookies straight from the oven.)

Some of the things I love about #ATX: The view of downtown from Auditorium Shores, the drive down Capital of Texas Highway (pre-construction, of course!) the Red Bud Isle dog park, shopping and dining on South Congress. #favoritethings #austintx #southcongress #redbudisle #capitaloftxhwy
