It Feels Like Home to Me: Small Moments That Made This Renovated Craftsman Sing

This Dallas home had good bones, but the charm? That needed a little coaxing. We infused it with soul by layering in rich color, cheeky prints, and timeless architectural details that make every corner feel intentional.

These may not be the “Pinterest front page” shots, but they’re the kinds of moments that make a house feel personal. These are the in-between details our clients remember and love—the spots that catch your eye in passing and make you smile.

Let’s take a walk through.


01. Bathroom Cabinet Niche

06 Bathroom Storage

Custom cabinetry in a deep, inky green grounds this petite powder room while adding a built-in shelf that says “I care about the candle moment.” The glossy paint finish picks up light beautifully and feels elevated without shouting.


02. That Little Plant Close-Up

07 Bathroom Decor

We couldn’t resist zooming in. These micro-vignettes prove that even in a tiny space, great styling goes a long way. When the wallpaper is bold, keep the decor simple. A plant and a candle is all you need.


03. The Brass Faucet Glow-Up

08 Faucet Detail

Brass fixtures on a creamy quartz counter is always a good idea. But paired with a soft curve mirror and delicate florals? Now it’s poetry. This faucet was selected for its vintage profile and warm finish, and yes, it gets complimented often.


04. A Stairway With Soul

09 Stair Detail

Simple, classic, and unfussy. The natural wood treads and black metal balusters keep things clean while the white board-and-batten paneling nods to the home’s craftsman roots. You can almost hear the kids running down.


05. A Kitchen That Actually Works

01 Kitchen

This kitchen is the heart of the home and built to handle it. The long wall of lower drawers means no wasted space, and the layout prioritizes prep and flow. A warm vent hood adds texture and warmth to the cool marble and cabinetry.


06. Island Glow-Up

02 Kitchen Island

The island needed to seat five without feeling like a diner counter. We widened the base and gave it a furniture-style look with custom trim and rounded corners. The pale marble adds softness to the saturated cabinets and leather stools.


07. Real-Life Styling

03 Kitchen Detail

Not every open shelf has to be perfect. Sometimes it’s just a place to keep your olive oil, cookbooks, and a quirky bust or two. The veining on the marble shelf and backsplash is doing the heavy lifting, and that’s the point.


08. Wood Tones and Texture

04 Kitchen Decor

We leaned into earthy materials for this corner moment. That honey-colored cutting board and handmade crock bring so much life and warmth to the stone. We always leave a little room for collections to grow over time.


09. Primary Bath Spa Vibes

05 Bathroom Shower

Marble walls, brass hardware, and clean geometric lines give this bathroom a spa-like feel without losing its personality. We played with tile layout to create subtle contrast and detail within a limited material palette.


10. Tub Tray Still Life

05 Bathtub

This is your sign to get a tub tray. Greenery, pretty soap, and a good soak go a long way. We kept the rest minimal so the marble floor and trim pattern could take center stage.


11. Built-In Shelfie With a Pop

10 Shelfie

Collected cobalt and emerald glass sits in a recessed niche under a warm brass picture light. It’s a simple architectural moment that brings personality and glow to the hallway. We love how the bold color steals the show.
