The Story
Beth and E.L. Caraway’s 1950s Craftsman-style home in Fort Worth, Texas, has always had lots to love. An avid collector of vintage pieces and flea market finds, Beth had filled it with eclectic charm and character, and stashed away stuff there wasn’t room to display. And then the last of their three grown children moved out, and the time felt right to refresh their empty nest. For perspective, the couple hired designer Shauna Glenn. “The first thing we did was go room by room and assess what we had,” says Beth. And so began a game of musical chairs, rugs, art and more. They also refurbished old furniture, sprinkled in a few new buys (Beth was more than happy to shop!) and brightened up rooms with paint. “All of our treasures are still here,” says Beth. “By moving them around — and making some simple changes here and there — we renewed every room!”
