Texas Tiki Meets Wes Anderson in Mid-century Millennial's Austin Home

Welcome to my home in Austin, Texas! I am designing our home with the goal of reuniting it with its 1970s vibes that were renovated away by generations of previous homeowners. A lifelong lover of vintage finds on a tight budget, I live for the thrill of the hunt — filling my home with thrifted and estate sale treasures. I’m inspired by the playful aesthetic of Wes Anderson films, midcentury kitsch and bold color palettes.

Step into my first renovated space: my office and Mid-century Millennial headquarters. This is the only space in the house that I don’t share with my husband, so I leaned into personal details and feminine touches. I painted half-pink walls and added unexpected pops of color to take this room from a boring box to a creative haven.

When I am not working from home as a marketing professional, I moonlight as the Mid-century Millennial on social media — sharing my vintage-obsessed lifestyle and DIY projects. This dedicated craft space serves as a content studio and space to create details for my home.

Elvis has blessed my home decor dating back to elementary school. I shared a room with my teenage sister, so our mom crafted a hanging divider with frames to add our own personal touches and keep the fighting to a minimum. My side was filled with Elvis Presley headshots I printed at the library. Now, this vintage bust holds court in my craft corner.
