“This house is ‘cookie cutter’ Park Cities but with potential! We’d go all in with paint to bring otherwise forgettable rooms to life. The key is to saturate the entire room (walls/ceiling/millwork) in a single color for an immersive feel.”—Sam Sano and Joslyn Taylor, Swoon the Studio

“You had us at the waterfront view. We’d use the killer lot as inspiration for an organic modern makeover that embraces the house’s traditional lines (think slurried brick exterior, wide-plank European Oak flooring, and honed stone fireplaces).” —Sam Sano and Joslyn Taylor

“This architecture feels different for Dallas, and we dig the gallery-like interiors. We’d replace painted millwork with wood, bring in some stone elements, and focus on special lighting and handcrafted furnishings to add soul.”—Sam Sano and Joslyn Taylor
