Meet the Homeowner

Homeowner Keith Lasseigne built his new home in Austin, Texas as a getaway from his first home in Houston, as well as a retreat for his foster dogs.

Bright, Modern Living Room

A stainless steel, gas fireplace, wall-mounted television and a bright, light color palette make this living room feel open and airy.

A sliding glass door provides easy access to the home's outdoor spaces, and lets in ample natural light.

A Place to Relax

Style-Packed Space

To fit function into this cozy bedroom nook, pendant lights were used to save precious space on the pint-sized nightstands.
