For the record, PSP was formed in Austin (in 1898, as Page Brothers Architects). It does have offices all over now but I'd still call it an Austin firm.
I'd include Mell Lawrence, who ...
What about Paula's Texas Orange and Texas Lemon? Great liqueurs, handmade locally. Check them out at www.paulastexasspirits.com/.
When I bring Austin food along as a gift it's usuall...
When we redid our kitchen last year we went to an architectural metals place and bought a 10-inch-wide, 1/2-inch-thick piece of raw steel to top a half-height wall between our kitchen and dining ro...
I purposely set the shower curtain rod high in our redone bathroom just to keep the shower from seeming crowded. I then used bead chain to suspend a standard curtain at a height that put the botto...
Our go-to tuna dish is chopped sun-dried tomatoes (the kind in oil), kalamata olives, capers, and garlic — with a couple of minced anchovies if you like — heated in a bit of olive oil i...
This company makes some cool trolley-wheel-like rolling door hardware. I thought of using it for a very similar project in our kitchen. Look at the flat-track hardware.
We installed soapstone counters last summer (sourced from Dorado in Austin; the showroom has actually been open for about 18 months) and the variety we chose, Beleza, is quite hard. After eight mon...
I have Chilewich mats in front of the sink and stove. I bought them at Crate & Barrel. When they get dirty I can just throw them in the tub or take them outdoors and hose them off.
We put in soapstone counters 8 months ago. I love them. They're dark gray with some veining and some green undertones. I never oil them (I like the gray; they go very black if oiled) and have had n...
We've used them several times in Austin and each time it was fine. We had our kitchen cabinets delivered -- a lot of boxes -- and the men carried them in -- up the hill in front of our house in Jul...
We put in soapstone counters a few months ago and got a lot of "why don't you just do granite?" from the fabricators we contacted. But we kept at and found someone to do the fabrication (we had alr...
We just put in soapstone (with one section of IKEA butcherblock) and are loving both. The soapstone is totally easy to take care of and really gorgeous: grayish, blackish with undertones of deep gr...
I drive by this house every couple of days and every time, I cringe. It's not the color but, as others have said, the scale, which is completely out of proportion to its neighbors. I find it truly...

A lovely space. Congratulations. I'm also interested in what paint colors you used, especially the living room and kitchen. Thanks.

I'd love to know the living room color as well. And the details of how you hung the posters. Lovely space.

I'm liking these Austin posts but, for the record, Roadhouse Relics is on South 1st not South Lamar.
