Our entryway and hallway started as a true blank canvas – clean, but without any personality. Given its open-concept layout, we couldn't rely on painting the walls for a quick transformation. Instead, we embraced our Collected West philosophy, using art, rugs, and functional decor to inject color, warmth, and a welcoming story. See how we turned this transitional space into a vibrant reflection of our home's character, proving you don't always need paint to make a big impact.

At Collected West, we believe in creating homes that tell your story, one collected piece at a time. Our powder bath is a perfect example of how this philosophy can transform even the most basic space. See how we took this neutral room and infused it with unexpected personality using just wallpaper, art (including a special piece from artist Catherine Allen out of Midland, where I lived briefly as a child!), and thoughtful decor. This post kicks off our new series, where we'll be sharing how cosmetic changes can make a big impact in creating a truly collected home.

Details of my collected dining room. There are still things I’d tweak, but I love where I am in the process. This space came together over time—starting with the art, then the rug, and eventually the seating. Some pieces were investments, others were spontaneous secondhand finds. Together, they reflect a space that’s layered, personal, and still evolving.

Step inside our dining room, a space that truly embodies the Collected West philosophy. It's not about trends or perfect matching; it's about the magic of mixing pieces with history and heart. From thrift store treasures to beloved art, learn how this room came together in a wonderfully unexpected way, and how embracing "The Art of the Mix" can transform your own home.
