I grew up in Austin, but now live in California. This store is a must on our list of things to do whenever my boyfriend and i visit. We love both Spartan and Bows + Arrows--if i were to redecorate my home, i would want it to look like Spartan. I highly recommend stopping in if you're visiting or live in Austin.

we are so grateful for all the wonderful comments! while we understand our style isn't for everyone, it's been a great experience sharing our space with the world.

taidawolfe -- I'm so happy you liked my dress, it was the photographer's idea for me to wear it. I bought it MANY years ago on eBay when I was obsessed with vintage dresses :)

the shower curtain is from urban outfitters four years ago.

and the tea kettle is Le Creuset. it was a gift, but you can get them at Sur la Table, or even amazon.

we are near downtown, a couple blocks east of lower State Street.

the little door in the wall next to the knife rack is where the ironing board would go (the cottage was built in the 40's). however, we've turned it into a spice rack. it's hard to see, but behind the fan there's also a brass built-in where the iron would live.

Thanks everyone for your interest in our bungalow! I agree it can come across a little cluttered in photos, but in person, I don't think it feels as cluttered or clausterphobic. However, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt anything if we eliminated a few things :)

fcresenc -- unfortunately, I don't have a resource for the butcher block. I purchased it at a garage sale when we first moved in. the brand is Le Gourmond though. I suggest looking on Craigslist for something similar?

LovieDovie -- most of the pots are Le Creuset, Dansk and Desco Ware

taoofpao -- we are near downtown, a couple blocks west of lower State Street

Sarah Marguerite -- the fox and raccoon pillows are pushmepullyou design. we originally purchased them a few years ago at Urban Outfitters, but I suggest looking up pushmepullyou because she has some really cute items.

TAmom -- I think the door you're referring to leads to our backyard.

home body -- thanks for the "counter" space tip, any extra space is always appreciated :)
