conversations.value: Reg's dressing room, with his collections of antique cameras and belt buckles. Keeping collections organized in baskets, groupings, or stacks is essential to preventing a cluttered look.
  When we moved in, the closets had horrible metal doors, so at Round Top I found some wonderful old gray shutters to replace them. The contractor almost killed me after making him take them apart and retrofit them. Despite the difficult task of installation, they absolutely make the room.
  One classic trick I employed a lot in this home is replacing new doors with vintage doors. Nothing will give the place a more instant connection to the past. Doors can be the soul of a home, especially when they have weight and character.
  One of the fun surprises guests discover is on the back of our front door; it's entirely covered in old milagros. People never see it when they arrive, but they always notice later and it makes them smile. (Previously I used them on a headboard.) Milagros are religious folk charms used in Mexican churches in a similar way as candles. If someone had fallen ill or had broken arm or leg, a person would put that milagro in the church as a get-well prayer.
  In the front of the house, I have a big metal cross I found in Round Top and a skull in the middle of the cactus garden, so everyone who drives by knows what I collect! During my childhood summers at the beach, every home had a flag, so I display the stars and stripes in abundance, outside and inside. They're just such colorful and iconic decorations. I'll even frame antique flags.

conversations.value: Books of art are stacked high; paints are collected in a large bowl and brushes in tin cans, just waiting for creative inspiration. While vintage pieces, white linens and original artwork fill the Barn, there is just a hint of zebra here and there, on a chair and a small footrest. The loving mix of art, culture, simplicity and beauty make the Barn incredibly inviting.
  A wall tapestry, cowhide on the floor, and leather-covered ottoman add not only sophistication but also warmth to this space designed for relaxing. In another seating area, toss pillows on an antique bench make an inviting place to discuss the art.
  The Prairie dates back to the mid 1800s. Rachel Ashwell purchased it and opened a beautiful bed-and-breakfast in Round Top in 2010.
  There are five little cottages decorated in Rachel's classic Shabby Chic. There is also a store on the property where you can buy items and take the signature look home. In addition, there is a community building with a kitchen, dining room, and living room where the guests gather for breakfast and conversation. A stay at The Prairie is truly a treat.
  The Shabby Chic sheets are beautiful and soft. The chandeliers pull the entire bedroom area together.
