Reimagining this Texas farmhouse brought life and color to a tired scheme and highlighted the original 1930s charm

Reworking the house design for this charming Texas farmhouse actually started outside the property, as interior designer Bess Lovern explains.

'When we first started at the house, it had a lot of exterior doors and a renovation from the early 2000s that did not match the 1930s charm of the house,' says Bess. 'We wanted to make decisions that respected the context and age of the home and help to bring it back to its roots while prioritizing color.'
