In my opinion, a home’s exterior is just as important as the interior! It is the first impression that guests will have of your home before setting foot in the door. This Houston Heights home features a spacious porch complete with a swing and rocking chairs: the epitome of Southern charm.
Doing laundry isn’t so bad in a space like this! I loved designing this laundry room to be cheery and beautiful, yet super functional. The windows let lots of natural light in and the Dutch door is a charming touch. What’s your favorite part of this space? I’d love to know!
Never be afraid of incorporating color in your home décor! 🌈

Now that summer is in full swing, I thought I’d show you one of my favorite outdoor spaces I’ve designed. This pool house is perfect to watch the kiddos play in the pool, while you catch up on your reading or indulge in a poolside cocktail. There’s even a cozy fireplace for those chilly evenings. This luxe pool house is an absolute DREAM!
Believe it or not, beautiful, high quality paint is hard to come by. But @sherwinwilliams always exceeds my expectations with stunning, vibrant shades that transform my clients’ spaces into something truly special.
The space that homeowners often neglect the most is the closet. You’d be surprised by how transformative a closet refresh can be! With a few simple additions like a tie rack, shoe shelf, jewelry organizers, and handbag storage, you can give your closet the facelift it needs to take the space to the next level!
I’ve shown you some of my favorite rooms inside the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse, but now it’s time to show you this gorgeous garden created by @SMILandscapeArchitecture. Some of my favorite features are the pebble koi pond and the PVC laser cut lattice work. How stunning!
No Southern master bedroom is complete without monogrammed pillow covers. It’s so charming! ✨
When choosing draperies or curtains for a room, I make sure that they are as beautiful as they are functional. Draperies are a godsend to keep the summer heat out of your home. I recommend thermal lined curtains, which can reduce the light by up to 90% and insulate against heat. These types of linings are also great to improve the acoustics of a space and reduce echo. You can line any fabric curtain with thermal insulation so the possibilities are endless!
Bill’s design tip: add a mirror to the wall of a small room to make it appear larger. It’s the perfect opportunity to choose a mirror that fits the aesthetic of the room, like this antique one I chose for this old-world style living room. The possibilities are endless!
I always say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, so it’s got to have that extra special touch! Let my team design a beautiful kitchen that is functional to fit you and your family’s lifestyle. Start by scheduling your free 15-minute Zoom consultation to get started! WWStubbs.com
Holy wall covering! I’m back at the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse and I am dying to show you this gorgeous little passageway entitled “The Sunny Spot” by @mallyskokdesign. The trim contrasts perfectly with the whimsical wallpaper. It makes me feel so cheery!
A stellar bathroom is not complete without premium finishes. That’s why I love using Kohler faucets and accessories to take my clients’ homes to the next level. I adore these Kohler gold faucets contrasting perfectly with the black marble sinks. Just beautiful!
This outdoor porch area by @annabraund at the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse is the PERFECT space to unwind on a breezy afternoon. The way the wind hits the fabric is completely enchanting and it makes for the perfect hideaway. Who wouldn’t want to live here?!
A brass set of hardware transforms any ordinary piece of cabinetry and turns it into something luxe, beautiful, and elevated.
If you’ve followed me a long time you know I am NEVER intimidated by a small bathroom. I always see it as the perfect opportunity to make it extra-special. This bathroom by @amymorrisinteriors features this gorgeous Palm Beach-esque wall covering contrasting against this charming lipstick red vanity. Another stunning space at the Kips Bay Showhouse!

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads out there! I’m so grateful to my wonderful children for making me a dad! Being a father and grandpa has been one of the biggest blessings of my life. How are you all celebrating today?
We’re back at the Kips Bay Designer Showhouse and I was dying to show you this upstairs terrace by @ellenkavanaugh. This space exudes beach paradise and reminds me of a chic spot in St. Barths. It was inspired by beach clubs of the late ’70’s and early ’80’s. It is the perfect space to play a game or enjoy a tropical cocktail. This space contains everything you need to entertain your favorite people.
