Austin Style
Hi,
I am a young interior designer and aspiring home owner in Austin, Tx, obsessed with retro and modern design.
I have blog about fun stuff I am working on and how-to projects. Several examples are how to create a steampunk room, how to recover a dining room chair, and how to recover a lampshade.
Please drop by my blog Austin Style, and let me know what you think!
Regards,
Alexis Lane
