This spring, I had the exciting opportunity to collaborate with a dear friend and seasoned real estate investor to bring this charming farmhouse that dates back a hundred years, nestled just outside of Round Top, Texas back to life. I styled and furnished the home to sell, yet my heart still feels a bit heavy that we didn’t keep it for ourselves!
With Round Top season just around the corner, I was reminded that I had not properly shared this special place with you yet here on HOUSE of HARPER!

How does one introduce their first blog post in 2.5 years
(and one of only a handful in the last four years)? I guess you just jump right in!?
I had a fun opportunity to share my favorite Frank & Eileen items and sit down for a fun interview about life and business this summer so I wanted to share a portion of it here with you, as well.
My personal style has evolved significantly over the last decade since starting HOUSE of HARPER, mirroring the changes in my life. My role as a working mom in Houston demands a practical and versatile wardrobe. While I still want to look stylish and put-together, my busy schedule doesn’t allow for too much deliberation. This often results in a go-to uniform of a pair of tredny pair of denim styled with a classic button-up shirt – cue my introduction to Frank & Eileen.

I recently returned from a celebratory trip to Paris, France with my mom, sister and sister-in-law to celebrate my sister, Sarah’s, 40th birthday. To say it was a memorable trip would be an understatement! It isn’t often the girls get to travel together sans kids and especially sans husbands! It was really special for us to get some one-on-one girl time in The City of Light.
We knew we wanted an apartment vs. a hotel this trip for the convenience of having common areas like a kitchen and living room to drink our coffee together in the mornings and to stock the kitchen with goodies from the local market for down time between activities. We love to emerge ourselves in the city we are visiting to get a true feel of what it would be like to actually live there and, in my opinion, only an apartment can truly make you feel like you are living like a Parisian.
I have followed Paris Perfect on Instagram for sometime for their inspiring images of the city and perfectly styled apartments so I knew just where to start for our apartment search. Paris Perfect has over three dozen apartments in the City of Lights covering every neighborhood, size and price point so there is literally something for everyone.

One of the most popular questions I get is “What paint color is that?”. So, I thought it would be helpful to save all our paint colors for you in one easy to access place. A huge thank you to Jennifer Barron Interiors who helped me finalize all our paint colors when I was 9 months pregnant with Millie and all the exterior whites were making my head spin! I don’t even think I sampled Millie’s pink or the white Alabaster we used in most of the house, I just knew I could trust Jennifer’s recommendations and, of course, they turned out perfect!
