The living room at the center of the Hill Country house. A limestone fireplace wall, reclaimed pine, mid-century furniture with Western details, put together slowly and on purpose.
Stone, pine, brass, leather.
Limestone floor to ceiling on the fireplace wall. Reclaimed 1950s pine underfoot and overhead in the exposed beams. Brass on the fixtures, cognac leather on the sofa and the bench. The walls and ceiling are kept plain, so the texture comes from those four.

Scroll. It fills the mat, then travels the frame
There is an Eisenhower on the wall.
Under the Eisenhower, a mid-century record-player shelf with the vinyl below it, ZZ Top and Sturgill Simpson in the stack. A ladder shelf holds a vintage globe and ceramic vessels, brass fire tools underneath. Two tweed armchairs face each other at the tall window with a leather stool between them and the Hill Country outside.
The fireplace gets used, the records get played
Limestone, pine, cognac leather, charcoal tweed, antiqued brass. None of it is trendy and all of it can take a scuff.
Color comes from the materials themselves, with no accents and nothing painted for effect. Limestone takes light without bouncing it back. Pine is warm underfoot, and cognac leather darkens with use. Tweed reads soft from across the room and structured up close. Brass goes dark on its own schedule.

Just past the room, the entry gets the same treatment: a leather-strapped oval mirror on the wall, a wood console with a crystal lamp on it, a plaid throw and a wicker basket underneath.
