I recently realized that in the eight years we’ve been married, Jason and I have lived in six different houses. Apparently we like to move a lot. Or we’re gluttons for punishment, I’m not sure. Let’s take a little tour of the places we’ve called home, shall we? Home #1 City: Austin, TX House […]

As my husband can attest, if there is a homes tour or an open house anywhere within a 25 mile radius, then I’ll be first in line to get a sneak peak! He says I’m nosy, but I call it research. After all, I was an architecture major in college so snooping around other people’s […]

I recently got this text from my dear friend Bethany: I am knee deep in Pinterest trying to pick tile for our bathroom remodels. Can I pay you to pick them for us? 😉 Or better yet, I’ll buy your flight out here for a consultation and get friend time, too! Oh how I wish […]

I have a pretty vivid picture in my head of what my dream house looks like. It’s an old Craftsman-style bungalow that has been lovingly restored and decorated with an eclectic mixture of modern and classic furnishings. While I’ve never seen this house in real life, I know it exists out there somewhere. Today I […]

One of the first things I noticed while strolling around Charleston was that almost all of the historic homes have beautiful window boxes overflowing with flowers. Few of the homes in the historic district have yards since they are built so close together, therefore planters are pretty much all the gardening space Charlestonians have available. […]

In my last post I mentioned that we were planning a little getaway to celebrate our sixth wedding anniversary. Every year we try to visit someplace we’ve never been and kept hearing wonderful things about Charleston, South Carolina, so we decided it was time to check it out for ourselves. I’m so glad we did! […]

This past weekend Jason and I joined his classmates at The Mayo Hotel for Barrister’s Ball, law school’s version of prom. The Mayo is a gorgeous historic hotel in downtown Tulsa that was recently renovated after being abandoned for 20 years. It was built in 1925 at the height of Tulsa’s oil boom and hosted […]

I just returned from a spontaneous trip to Chicago with my mom. We were chatting on the phone several days ago and the conversation went something like this: Mom: “We should take a girls’ trip somewhere.” Me: “Ok, where do you want to go?” Mom: “Wouldn’t it be fun to take an architectural tour of […]

I spent the weekend with Frank Lloyd Wright. Um, I should probably clarify that statement. I didn’t actually see him (he’s dead, you know), but rather spent the night inside the architectural masterpiece he designed in downtown Bartlesville, Oklahoma. The 19-story Price Tower, Wright’s tallest constructed project, was completed in 1956 when the architect was […]

One of the things I’ve come to appreciate most about Tulsa is its rich architectural history. The city has some really fabulous buildings, many of which were built by wealthy oil tycoons in the first half of the 20th Century when Tulsa earned its reputation as “Oil Capital of the World”. The discovery of oil […]
