I’ve had several design clients when I ask them what style they like, respond with “Mimi’s style.” Whatever you want to call it, your style and creativity is magnetic, and I think people are drawn to the look that you achieve. My home was built with a Coastal architectural style, but I tried to give it Cape Cod vibes as it was under construction. For instance, I feel like my dining room is French Country whereas my primary bathroom is glam and fabulous. So, I really do love it all, so I don’t think I’m boxed in to any one style. For instance, I have always dreamed of having a super modern condo in downtown Dallas or even an adobe style home. I love ALL design styles, so it’s hard to pick one. I’ve always called you the “Queen of Tablescapes.” Tell me about your design style. Well, you make it look effortless! We simply love the way you style your home. It’s too hard! I can’t image how young women do it while being a full-time wife and mother, too! With that being said, they don’t live at home, so I probably would not do this if I wasn’t in this season of life. I think that they believe it’s great! But I think they believe that it’s just a hobby and perhaps don’t realize how much work goes into maintaining an Instagram page. What do they think about their mom being Insta-Famous? I love that! It’s obvious how much love is in your heart for them. Tina’s kitchen is every designer and cook’s dream. My husband’s job evolved, and he helped form a new company that brought us to Texas in 1991. Essentially, I would create the MLS listing and write the creative description about each house. I would type the ads for the real estate listings that would go in the weekend newspaper. Before we had children, I worked as an office manager for a small, private brokerage firm. I loved it! It was a giant culture shock from the Northeast, but we absolutely loved Lafayette. Louisiana? That makes a lot of sense to me, because I see a lot of French elements in your design style. He was a petroleum engineer, so that line of work took us to Lafayette, Louisiana after marriage. In Ohio, I attended Marietta College where I majored in Industrial Relations and met my husband Dave in college. I am a Northeastern girl at heart and would really love to get back there one day. Well, I am originally from Darien, Connecticut and spent a lot of time in Allentown, Pennsylvania, too. Where are you from? When and why did you come to Texas? Tina, you are just a joy!

Tina’s beautiful breakfast nook overlooking her back yard. Now, it is with overwhelming gratitude that I invite you to come over the river and through the Woodlands, to Mimi’s house we go… for a wonderful home tour and chat with Tina! Little did I know that five years later, Tina would become my dear friend whom I would drive across Texas to photograph and interview for a feature in my home design magazine. In fact, before I personally knew her, I packed her orders into boxes as the warehouse manager for Curtis Creation, the shop that I would later purchase and rename From: Susie.
