I’ve loved Austin ever since I attended SXSW in 2008. Maybe it was the opportunity to chill with a bunch of my far-away friends, or maybe it was the addictive breakfast tacos, but I’m still smitten with the city. The fact that there’s a definite modern home aesthetic there is just icing on the cake for me. (Or salt on the margarita rim at Guero’s, if you will.) So, seeing photographer Ryann Ford’s Austin digs on Houzz made me kinda jealous.

The space has so much natural sunlight, which is the perfect complement to Ford’s desert-mod-vintage style. And the details are darling! Tilting the cafe sign in the living room vertically, painting the office wall with chalkboard paint — it all works for me. I’ll be heading to SXSW again this year, and if you happen to spot me with a dreamy, far-away look on my face, I’m daydreaming about settling down in Austin in a place just like this.
Love the colors it brings to the rooms!
Just made some crispy homemade tacos, check them out! http://becauseofmadalene.blogspot.com/2012/01/cri…

Aren't the colors divine? I especially like all the turquoise.
(I'll have to make those tacos soon — I think that's the way one of my favorite places in LA, Malo, makes them: http://www.malorestaurant.com/)
