I first want to thank all of you for your support of my new season of Beyond the Curb Home Tour with Cathy Kincaid
There are some homes that leave a permanent imprint on your mind. This historic 1921 park cities home by renown architect Hal Thomson is a jewel of Dallas…dare I say it may be my favorite home in all of Dallas. It is not lost on me why the current and previous owners hired interior designer Cathy Kincaid to bring layers, warmth, and charisma to this already exquisitely charming home. Cathy is one of my favorite designers of all time (you can see her personal home tour here). It is an absolute honor to kick-off a new season of Beyond the Curb home tours today with this iconic and chicly collected home.

Happy Friday! The weeks are about to get very busy for me, which is great news for you! Home tour season is in full swing. I even shared a preview photo of the first home tour of the season- which launches next Sunday, September 29th. It is with a designer I have previously featured on my channel (and is one of my personal favorites). Make sure you are subscribed to YouTube to be notified the minute it goes live.
Boxwood Blight and Care with Carmen Johnston
Sadly, the boxwood blight has arrived in Dallas. While my business is called The Potted Boxwood, I am no horticultural expert. Yesterday, I decided to do a live instagram discussion with garden expert Carmen Johnston to get the scoop on how to identify blight, how best to care for boxwood, and what to plant in place of boxwood if you do have the blight! I hope you all enjoy this discussion.

Happy Friday! I recently went behind-the-scenes on a project for Dunbar Road Design in Paris and London. It was a treat to see the cities from their design eyes, plus they threw quite the dinner party! Back in Dallas we had a mini taste of fall and it was glorious. In the most exciting news, I have a date for you… The first home tour of the season will air Sunday, September 29th. Subsequently, there should be a home tour every other week (and maybe a few extras in between). Be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don’t miss it- doesn’t cost anything to subscribe!
Gracie Goodness
When one of your favorite wallpaper companies comes out with a coffee table book, you pay attention. I have always adored the look of Gracie wallpaper. I love their family owned history, the intricate artistry, as well as the chic pattern and custom design of their hand-painted wallpapers.
Bedroom Bliss
Happy Tuesday! I wanted to share some of my favorite bedrooms with you from past home tours, plus a few that will be on upcoming tours! Stay tuned for the new season of home tours launching at the end of the month.

Happy Friday friends! I have been a little quiet recently, and mainly because I am working on some great things for The Potted Boxwood. There is such a fun array of new home tours lined up for fall, and a fresh set of travel guides that will be available very soon! I wanted to share few snaps of architecture that has caught my eye, as well as some great finds.
Beyond the Curb Home Tour with Canon and Dean Design
I am thrilled to share a new home tour of a darling Dallas cottage designed by Mary Elizabeth Canon and Hannah Dean of Canon and Dean Design. This fabulously talented design duo took a petite cottage from sweet to chic! Every inch is maximized to perfection with color and pattern that isn’t overwhelming, but graciously impactful.

I recently went on a wonderful girls’ trip with some close friends. One of the best things about trips like that is seeing what products everyone uses and loves. We were sharing our favorite things daily and the coolest part was we are all vastly different in age! I shared these products with my instagram followers, but thought it would be nice to put all in one spot.
