A Burton Baldridge Home for The New York Times

Take Monday Off...And Come to Austin!

Check out this fun travel piece I did for the Wall Street Journal. It's so exciting to see Austin getting so much great press, but at the same time, I really want it to stay a secret so it never changes! This shoot was really tough - I had to go to a bunch of my favorite places, eat at some of my favorite restaurants, and explore new areas that I hadn't been to before; can you sense my sarcasm yet? :)

Elizabeth Stanley's Home!

I'm really excited to finally share these super fun photos of Elizabeth Stanley's home, one of my favorite interior designers here in Austin. Upon walking through the front door of her home, I immediately fell in love. It had been a while since I had seen a house as breathtaking as hers. Not only was it luxurious and gorgeous, but the best part was the playful, unexpected details scattered throughout the house - a zebra head smoking a cigarette, a bedroom fireplace filled with pennies instead of stones, the fun Ingo Maurer chandelier in the stairwell, even a clever (and naughty!) neon sign over the master bedroom's bed. To top it off, the house was designed by the amazingly talented Ryan Street, who also did Lance Armstrong's Austin home.
