The House
In late October 2011, we became the proud owners of a 1950s midcentury house in East Austin.
The windows were charming, the backyard a blank canvas and the floor plan an open paradise (not to mention, it has central air and heat); 1100 square feet never looked so good.
You can read about our old rental and how we are fixing up the new one here.
And you check out our house tour below.
are there any hardwood floors underneath that carpet?
Wow! Love your house, retro and so beautiful and colorful! Lovely blog as well!
Can you both please decorate my new apartment? Please!?! Right now, it’s tastefully tasteless, and I need your talents to make it awesome.
How awesome to get your own place and do what ever you like to it! Great style!!!! I’m going to post some of my photography that I think you would love for your house, I lived in Dallas, TX and they had some amazing murals that I photographed, just give me some time to post these, I sell my work through the site.. Good luck!!! I love Austin!!!! Such a wonderful eclectic place to live….
Oh check in my site ” American Flats” I think you would love this place! And another site you would both love is Fab.com! Some amazing ideas, art, fashion, home, etc…
You can decorate my place any time. It’s not too far from Austin (one of my favorite places).
You have fantastic taste.
Hello, My name is Whitney I just stumbled upon your blog this evening as I was browsing WordPress recommended blogs. When I started to look at your blog, your posts, your style I found it to be eerily similar to mine. I’m much newer at this, being about 15 posts in but it is astonishing how alike your set-up, design ideas, and style is to mine and my boyfriends. So I told him to sit down with me and check your blog out because to me it was so crazy…Here is where it gets even weirder….we clicked on your “The House” category and were even more shocked to find that your house number is the same as ours! 1304. Anyway, I couldn’t figure out how to email you so I thought I’d just leave a comment. I guess it really excited/shocked me. My blog is whittleandwood.com like I said I’m fairly new to this and we are still developing our blog but maybe you’d like to check it out.
Whit
Nice!
