Now that the Texas heat wave is finally over 🥵 you might want some inspiration for your outdoor living space! The Spectacular Outdoor Living of Texas book has it all....garden, furniture, water features, lighting and more. 🎤 This is one of my favorite covers. It was the first time I used hot pink in a cover title - looks so good against the blue 🙌🏼 The content is just as beautiful! #outdoorlivingspaces #firstclass #texashomedesign #austinhouse #photographyiseverything #perfectshot #wannalivehere #signatureboutiquebooks

There are so many woman I admire! I've had the opportunity to meet some seriously successful professionals over the years from publishing these big beautiful books but there's one woman in particular that stands out.
Back in 2003, I starting working on my first book Spectacular Homes of Texas. I remember asking Dallas' biggest deal interior designer @twizingwe Trisha Wilson, if I could use some of her photography for my new book. Her name in this book and photography of her work could help me set the bar for the first class content I envisioned. I really needed her more than she knew. She could have rolled her eyes at me, she didn't need to be in a book to get her work noticed. She has quite a story herself, she's built her career from the ground up, working hard, another reason I admire her.

She said YES! So, I went around Texas, using her gorgeous photography and my book idea to get meetings with (this was a time when people met in person) top interior designers. Her name helped get me in the door and bring this book to life. Thank you Trisha Wilson for allowing me to use your name in my book project. It turned out to be a success and is filled with dazzling photography from the best interior designers in Texas - who I also have mad admiration for. This book paved the way for me to keep publishing books 📚 My dream career.
PS. The story doesn't end there. It get's even better! This book title was such a success, it was replicated in regions all over the U.S., London and Canada. 🙏🏻 #dreamscometrue #lifteachotherup #womenprofessionals #ladyboss #womendesigners #wecandothis #gratitude

Happy Monday everyone☀️! If you overindulged this weekend, spent too much money and drank one too many cocktails, don't feel bad 💃🏻🕺🏿! When you travel, eat, drink and play in Texas, you're supporting jobs!

The economic impact of travel supports 1.2 million Texas
jobs with earnings of $55.9 billion across a range of
advanced, intermediate, and entry level positions. That's real news from the Texas Travel Industries Association.

Travel supports 1 out of 10 Texas jobs! So get yourself out there and have as much fun as you want, it's for a good cause. Party pic courtesy of Grapevine CVB🥂

Let us introduce you to the inaugural year of the The Texas Whiskey Trail 🥃! There are 15 distilleries on this growing trail, all who craft their whiskey with true Texas pride ✌🏻. They start with grain, then they mash, ferment, distill, mature and bottle — all within the State of Texas. Tasty 😋 pic courtesy of @texaswhiskeytrail.

Back to the drawing ✍🏻 board for my next book project and I have some BIG ideas 💡 I did what I always do when I plan a book 📚 I drew the title and subtitle on paper 📝 This ones outside my comfort zone and much bigger of a scope than any other book I’ve dreamed up but that excites me 😎 I got scared for a second, but quickly reminded myself I’ve published over a dozen books 🙌🏼 And each one started with me, my idea, my enthusiasm, my determination and a bunch of talented people to help me make it a reality @cocodubs @katrinaautem 👬👭 Next step is consulting with a few brains 🧠 I trust. We will discuss all the challenges and possibilities 🙈🦋 It might turn out to be sh&@ but it might be awesome 😎 I’ll keep y’all posted 👊🏻 #creativeprocess #newbookidea #rollercoasterofemotions #newprojectsoon #dreamingbigger #bookpublisher #imnotspecial #determination💪

The cover has been chosen and after considering dozens of beautiful images, I couldn’t be more confident that THIS IS THE ONE 📸☝🏻 @shannonlafayettephotography 👏🏻 We started with the version on the bottom left, it was too close up so we added more sky 🌌 . Then I thought the sky needed some texture so we added clouds. Tried two different kinds of clouds ☁️ Ultimately went with the smooth blue sky because it lends space for the title letters and just feels more serene 🦋 Swipe to see the cover of the 2nd and final printing of Spectacular Weekend Getaways of Texas 🙌🏻 Prepress copies are on sale now - link in bio 😘 #supportlocal #texastravel #cinnamonshore #portaransas #visitportaransas #roadtripguide #theperfectgift #booksareforever #booksaremylife #travelmore
