Hollywood in Houston: Renea Abbot's glamorous home

Probably one of my favorite things about Fall are the magazines. For some reason, they are just better. Loaded with color, bold images and absolute glamour. The other day I was flipping through the latest issue of a Paper City Magazine. I always love local modern design mags in every city. I was floored by the spread of Shabby Slips owner, Renea Abbot and her new Houston home. 

Obviously right up my alley with white, black and pops of gold throughout the home. Shall I not forget to mention animal print? I just adore her and her fabulous style. You can see some pics from my trips to her fabulous boutique here and here. 

Take a peek inside the rest of her home. . .

Houston Design: big, beautiful, black & white

My heart hurts for Houston. This city means so much to me, my parents fell in love in Houston, I went to college in Houston and most of my family calls Houston home.  Many of my friends have been affected by this weeks hurricane, so please pardon my lack of blog posts and activity around here. I have been hosting family and doing what we can to help our friends in Texas.

If there is one thing I know about Houstonians, they are some of the most amazing, friendly and supportive people I know. Much like the wonderful interior design community, when the going gets tough we all band together. Which is why this week, I want to put an emphasis on Houston design and some of my favorite people & designers. 

Today, I wanted to feature Paloma Contreras, a fellow design blogger who I have known for years and watched her blossom into a beautiful designer. This is one of my favorite projects of hers, big, beautiful, black and white. My personal favorite palette. 

I especially love this living area. It feels so fresh, clean and glamorous. Every high style room must have the Kelly Wearstler pop bowl. It's one of my favorite looks because it adds a pop of fun personality to an otherwise calm room.
