Meet one of the most versatile objects I own….the trusty garden urn. It made its debut as decor in my wedding almost 5 years ago and has served multiple uses around the house ever since. In the spring and summer it greets guests with colorful flowers on the front porch. When the weather turns cold, the […]

A while back I had the pleasure of developing the brand identity for a cute wine bar and cafe in Brenham, one of my very favorite small towns in Texas. To top things off, The Vineyard occupied a historic building on the downtown square right across from the 1939 Moderne-style Washington County Courthouse. It was […]

Just popping in to say hello! This little munchkin is the reason the bloggy has been quiet this week….. We just returned from Tulsa where we got in some good cuddle time with our niece. Nealy is 3.5 months old now and her newest tricks are holding her head up and giggling. Words can’t express […]

Welcome to the international headquarters of design finch, Inc! I thought I’d show you were all the magic happens, but in order to truly appreciate the space you need to see the complete transformation. While I enjoy sharing an office with my hubby, our previous workspace was really cramped, inefficient and lacked storage for books […]

Between full-time and freelance work, multiple project deadlines, volunteer commitments and meetings, I haven’t had much down time. After a long day it’s so easy to neglect the home front, especially cooking nutritious meals for the two of us. The most difficult […]

Let me begin by saying I have nothing against gray. It’s quite a lovely color. I’m a big fan, in fact. But the gray tile in our entry area was just not working for me. It was as if you were greeted by 1989 upon entering the front door. We’ve actually intended to replace it […]

I know it’s still February, but I’m already in spring cleaning mode. While organizing files on my computer, I came across an invitation I designed this time last year for my sweet friend Christian’s bridal shower which was held at a vineyard in Driftwood, Texas. Of course there was wine tasting involved, so I didn’t […]

This week our sorority alumnae group hosted a great event called “Love Yourself”. One of our members is a wardrobe consultant and she opened her showroom to the Delta Gammas and shared fashion tips for every body type. It was fun to catch a glimpse of the spring trends and color palettes, although Miranda warned […]

This little sweetie has captured our hearts! Our niece Nealy Brooke arrived on the scene in December and we are absolutely smitten with the newest addition to the family. While I’m slightly biased, there’s no arguing she’s ridiculously precious. She has that “fresh from heaven” smell, too. I could just eat her up! Nealy’s favorite […]
It’s February and love is in the air! In my house that means it’s time to break out the construction paper and doilies. We have a rule that store-bought cards and fancy gifts are not allowed on Valentine’s Day. Instead, our tradition includes exchanging homemade valentines and baking heart-shaped pizzas together. It’s the stuff romance […]
