Are y’all ready for tomorrow’s big announcement?! Eeeek! I can hardly wait!! • It was a day full of project scheming at our office again today. Soooo many fun projects coming up that we seriously cannot WAIT to share!! #designscheme . . . . . . @schumacher1889 #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #interiordesign #fabric #austin #houston #florida #virginia #scottsdale #arizona
Out of all of the befores & afters of #casadehewett my twin’s gender neutral bathroom continues to be a top favorite! (SWIPE) • We didn’t have a huge budget for this bath, so we kept the existing floor and wall tile, added shiplap, paint and a new vanity with a marble remnant from the kitchen. I then added a custom buffalo check shower curtain hung to the ceiling to make the space feel larger. So while it was budget friendly, I feel like we did a good job of making a big impact. #awdhbeforeandafter 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #beforeandafter #bathroom #remodel #buffalocheck #shiplap #austin #houston #florida #virginia #tennessee #arizona #scottsdale
With our BIG announcement coming on Thrs, I figured this was an appropriateropriate post! • I am constantly asked how I started my business and for tips or guidance for success • I’ve always shyed away from this question bc I’m just not confident I can adequately express just how trying it has been. • I only share the highlights...the exciting presentations, the dramatic reveals, the entertaining team outings...what I don’t share are the stresses...and there are A LOT of them. • I worked 2 jobs, on and off, for many years, until I my “side hustle” became my career. During the first several years, I missed out on PLENTY. Fun weekends, birthday dinners, vacations, socializing in general, and well....sleep!!!!!! 😩 • And even though AWDH is successfully up and running, there are still so many stresses. The *endless* nights and weekends on email... the sleepless nights worrying about business decisions... the betrayal of people you once *swore* you could trust. • Never in a million years did I think starting, and maintaining, a successful business would be this much hard work. But I have always felt that the good outweighs the bad, and I believe in this business enough to know it always will. 💪🏼 • So! For those of you still reading 🤗 here are my tips for starting your own business.... 1. Be honest and fair, even when it seems unfair 👌 2. Set your client’s expectations, and then exceed them 👊🏼 3. Communicate and reiterate ☎️ 4. Be aware of others in your industry and the way they do business, but don’t ever allow their decisions to make you second guess your own - thats what sets you apart!🥇 5. Be financially responsible. If you don’t have it, DON’T SPEND IT. ❌ 6. Save. 💰 7. Listen to your employees, know what’s important to them, and don’t ever ask them to do something you wouldn’t do. Being the owner doesn’t make you any better than them, or anyone for that matter. 👂 8. Give yourself grace, mistakes happen 🤷🏼‍♀️ 9. Tune out the haters. Someone will always be criticizing... criticizing your brand, criticizing your structure...(criticizing your travels) 🇧🇸💁🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️Who cares. Their opinion matters when THEY are running your business. 📷 @pinkflyphoto

Well, we’re 4 days in to what I’m calling “Camp Exuma”. ☺️ My kids start school in less than a week, and we are squeezing every last drop out of summer on this island. Boating, ATVing, nightly ice cream, you name it! (see stories for it all!) • I am SO LOVING staying here at #projectstargazer . This house has it all, and because it’s one of only 2 homes in the neighborhood, it’s so quite and peaceful! Tonight we plan on chilling on the star gazer deck and, we’ll, stargazing ⭐️☺️. I will share rental info in my stories! • Meanwhile, this twin bedroom at #projectstargazer is still one of my faves. You know I’m a sucker for symmetry! 📷 @renocurling . . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #bahamas #bahamasinteriordesign #exuma #twins #beachhouse #florida #arizona #houston #austin #scottsdale

Yikes! I’ve been MIA the last few days as I’ve been prepping for our big announcement in a couple of weeks! 😳 • ALSO, I’m currently on a plane to Exuma with my kiddos for one last week of play before they start 2nd grade! We’re lucky enough to be staying at #projectstargazer which out design team designed and installed last May. I’m excited to experience it and to show you guys around, so tune in to stories for all of the details! 🙌🏻 • Oh! And how pretty is this kitchen?! Seriously one of my faves so far this year!! #projectbobbittdr 📷 @jenniferboomer . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #interiordesign #kitchen #blue #newbuild #florida #houston #austin #arizona #scottsdale #virginia #parklandflorida @ellengrassoandsons
When your tween wants a stylish bedroom and a functional place to do her homework. 🙌🏻 (SWIPE for the before photo) If I had a desk like this in high school, I probs would have made better grades, who can relate?! 🤷🏼‍♀️😆 #awdhbeforeandafter 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #beforeandafter #bedroom #study #desk #girlsroom #florida #parkland #parklandbay #miralago #austin #houston #texas #virginia #arizona #scottsdale
One of the biggest mistakes we see people make when they’ve tried to furnish their home on their own, is with their master bedroom nightstands. • More often than not, they’ve purchased something entirely too small. Just because it’s listed as a “nightstand” online or at the store, does not mean it’s the appropriate size. • When we specify bedside tables for our clients, we often select small dressers or chests to provide good height and ample storage. 🙌🏻 Just a little designer tip for ya ☺️#casadehewett 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #interiordesign #bedroom #mirror #austin #houston #texas #virginia #florida
Can y’all believe this #beforeandafter from our #projectsimondale in Ft Worth?! (SWIPE!) It’s one of those where you find yourself swiping back and forth and back and forth. ☺️ Can I get an amen for that marble fireplace surround?! #awdhbeforeandafter 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #remodel #dallasinteriordesign #livingroom #dallas #ftworth #swipeleft #marble #austin #houston #florida #virginia #texas #arizona #scottsdale
New week, fresh start...Y’all know I love Mondays! I only wish my kitchen was as clean as this one. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Who else loves Mondays?! 🙋🏼‍♀️ 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #kitchendesign #whitekitchen #interiordesign #dallas #houston #florida #austin #virginia #texas #universitypark
Who else had a ‘vanity room’ as a little girl?! (lol, yah me either 😆) • We customized this room top to bottom - and you will likely fall out of your vanity chair when you see the ‘before’ photos of this space. Go to our stories to see them before they disappear!! #projectcedarridge 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #interiordesign #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #vanity #vanitychair #austin #houston #arizona #florida #virginia @visualcomfortco
Our clients ask for our guidance on which rooms in their home to start furnishing first. While most people start with their living room, kitchen and dining room .… We encourage our clients to also consider their master bedroom. • I’ll be honest, I saved our master bedroom for last and I totally regret that decision. It’s the room I spend the most time in, so I wish I would have made it more of a priority. 🤦🏼‍♀️ • Which room would you make a priority? #casadehewett 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #interiordesign #masterbedroom #bed #austin #atx #houston #arizona #scottsdale #florida #virginia @schumacher1889 @curreyco @ballarddesigns

Three features I have in my home that most people shy away from: 👇🏼 • 1. Glass front doors - y’all heard my rant about glass front doors in yesterday’s stories. Don’t miss out on all of that natural light and a possible view because you are scared! Nobody is peering into your home, people! 😉 2. Open shelving: yes, your dishes get dusty if they are not used for an extended period of time. But they get dusty when they’re INSIDE a cabinet as well. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3. Marble countertops: yes, I have kids and I have marble. A marble “stain” or “etching” simply looks like a water mark... often times the light has to hit just right to even notice it. To me, this is part of its natural beauty. 🙌🏻 • I encourage all of you to do more research before ruling these items out of your next home! ☺️ #casadehewett 📷 @nateseyeview . . . . . . . #awelldressedhome #dallasinteriordesign #dallas #interiordesign #kitchen #openshelving #whitekitchen #subwaytile #austin #houston #arizona #florida #virginia
