Texas Eclectic



Dallas couple Adam and Alicia Rico put together this amazing home (photographed by Lyndsay von Hagel), and I'm pretty sure it's nothing short of absolute perfection. I've been on Houzz.com since its beginning days, invited to join and post images, but as far as I can tell, I've never come across a design so close to my heart. I can't find... one thing... wrong. I lived in Austin for a short time, and they seemed to give Dallas a hard time... it's all very competitive. Austin claimed to be the 'weird' capital, and Austinites many times claimed Dallas was on "Dockers patrol," yuppies without a cause. But here's proof there must be some awesomeness in Dallas.  I wasn't surprised this is the home of fellow creatives; the couple own a floral design company, Bows and Arrows, hence the beautiful flowers found in the photographs. Be sure and check out their website (the Bows and Arrows link), it's like Pinterest on its very best day, full of great photos and ideas.

Recycled Barn wood garden dresser

before


I've been cleaning out the garden shed, and found this old 60s dresser. Age and water warped, it still works perfect for a planter. I used the mitre saw to cut for length, then a nail gun put them all in place. Next, I've gotta line the drawers with plastic so the bottoms don't rot and I can start some herbs in there... and some kind of cascading flower.

Update: here it is a few months later when my flowers bloomed :)
