It's appears she's an avid blog reader and she loves Joni (but never has met her) from Cote de Texas, and Visual Vamp!
So I did a little research and found these images. She promises to send more photos of her work soon.
It's common: You find a house on the perfect street, and you fall in love with it--the street, not the house. Patti and Claude Perrier gave some TLC to a ranch-style house in their dream neighborhood--and now they have an incredibly stylish space. They prioritized what they could live with and what could be covered up with paint. They had an advantage though. Patti, a designer, knows tricks that don't require a total overhaul.
One great feature of this 1950s Houston home: The large rooms flow from one to another. However, the lack of architectural details is consistent from room to room too. Instead of adding such details, where they'd be a tad out of place, Patti removed dingy carpet and gave everything a coat of creamy white paint, a nice backdrop to her antiques collection. Existing hardwood floors add a rich feel.

cute house, loving it.
Timeless, gracious, and welcoming. I was so surprised to read it was a 50's ranch after looking at the photos. She did a beautiful job of working in the warmth and style.
