A couple of years ago, we got a look into the Austin home of consummate entertainer Camille Styles (Her book Camille Styles Entertaining is available for preorder now). But since we last visited her in Austin, Camille had outgrown her work-at-home space and needed to find a space that could be dedicated solely to her work. So six months ago, she bought this 1930s bungalow. It was in a great location near many of Camille’s favorite restaurants and bars, yet it needed a lot of love and attention. But the big windows, old wood floors and high ceilings made her take the real estate leap. Together with Claire Zinnecker, Camille worked to smooth out the home’s rough edges and then added finishings and furniture that were simple and classic. Now when she walks through the front door, Camille says the entire space feels like a breath of fresh air and she’s ready to get to work. -Amy

Image above: This room, thankfully, had the original wood floors that just needed a bit of polishing. We really wanted to keep the dining area simple so that it could be transformed for different tabletop and party looks. Windows on each wall let in tons of beautiful light.

Image above: I wanted to create something really eye-catching in this cute little nook, and when I stumbled on this emerald velvet settée, I knew it was just the bold statement I was looking for. Claire sprayed the mirror gold to add a touch of glamour (we posted the DIY here) and layered an eclectic mix of vintage pillows for a bohemian vibe. (Elton settée from West Elm.)
