My House

My House

I’m from TEXAS, yee haw!! and my home is in Austin
(the best city ~~in Texas~~ on Earth.)

(Washington DC 2008)
This blog contains homes I’ve lived in in Dallas, Texas, Beverly Hills, California, and most recently, Austin, Texas.

This is our current home as of July 2010.
Here’s my family!

(At Pink Taco in Century City near Hollywood California)
Beverly Hills:

While in Beverly Hills we lived in an apartment overlooking Wilshire and La Cienega.
Most of the photos on this blog between March 2010 and June 2010 are from this apartment.

(Disney World 2009)
Before Beverly Hills we lived in a suburb of Dallas, Texas. All of the huge renovations I’ve posted about between March and June 2010 are from that house. Here are some pictures of it:

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and watching me transform my house on a budget! Hopefully I’ll be able to give you some great ideas that you can use in your own home.

Austin? Me, too! I’ve come to your blog a few times here and there…sorry, I’m kinda slow.

I love that your husband is wearing a Chuy’s t-shirt! I love that place!

Just joined your site! I love it…can’t wait to read more!

I’m from Kansas, but Texas has a piece of my heart.

I was totally wondering how you put all those projects in a tiny apartment with children. Now, it totally makes sense!! Love all of your projects! Can’t wait to see what else you come up with once you get back home! I’m from Texas too!

Ignore me if I’m crazy – your house looks like my home town – Coppell, TX!

You’re in LA. We should get together? I’m not far from the airport….the big one.

So the world gets smaller and smaller. I’m the one who figured out we were in Mammoth Lakes at the same time. Then we found out we’re both living in Cali temporarily. My hometown?? Sherman, TX just north of Dallas. Met my hubby while living in Arlington and teaching elementary school. Married and moved to Portland. Now in SoCal for two more years. We really should try to get together one of these days!

No joke! I live in Dallas! Well, in Lake Dallas that is (about 30 min from Dallas)…perhaps one day, we can get together when you get back!

Just discovered your blog and I LOVE it! Also, my son has the same shirt your son is wearing in the last photo and I’m telling you, it’s my all-time favorite kid shirt!

@Kristi Not really. Bummer. You’d think so though. The only celeb I’ve seen I actually met – Dr Ray from Dr 90210. That meeting made my week!
Kristi 10/03/31 11:35

I’m obsessed with celebs too!!!

Have you seen any around since you’ve been out there? Love that play set!

i’m still sad to see you guys leave……… i can’t believe about your balcony. that would really annoy me, too. especially when you probably want as much sunlight as you can get so you can have “real” light instead of light bulbs all the time.
