Julie's home feels like an artist's retreat. It's a thoughtfully designed, deeply creative space filled with all kinds of her art - I really enjoyed all the different materials she uses and the multiple stages and styles reflected. The home is peaceful and quiet yet located in a rich area - it's across the street from an elementary school and the neighborhood, for now, is mostly families - I hope they are able to stay through the rigorous gentrification happening. Literally one block away are all the cafes, restaurants, shops, salons, taquerias, etc, you could possibly want for, including one of Dallas' buzziest restaurants, Lucia's. And it's a breezy 10-15 min drive to downtown Dallas - the location cannot be beat. The backyard is a retreat unto itself with tons of space to socialize within or just unwind in. Julie is a wonderful host who is immediately responsive and has done an incredible job creating a special space. Thank you for sharing it, Julie!
