Pulp Sourcebook: A Dallas Living Room Makeover

Shopping Guide

Interior Design by Pulp Design Studios

Our young homeowners reached out to Beth and Carolina to help make their new investment a place that was a reflection of them. Pulp Design Studios created interest in their spaces by mixing existing traditional furniture with new transitional pieces and reupholstering key pieces with new bold and modern fabric. The completed home is bright and youthful, but still sophisticated.

Whether you just love what we do and want to create it for yourself or you have a space that you’d love to get the ‘Pulp Treatment’, we hope that this series inspires you to live more beautifully.  And if you’d like to hire us (And, really…you should hire us!  wink. wink.) get in touch and tell us about your project!

Note: Color is in essence, reflections of light and one’s surroundings.  As a result, the color you see in our client’s space would certainly translate differently into your own.  If you are not working with a designer, play with paint samples on various walls in your own space to see if you get the effect you want.  We would also be glad to provide you with a consultation if that would be valuable.  We want your space to reflect its own beauty and your style.

5 Must-Read Books for Spring & Summer

Entertaining + Home Living

For some reason, I always seem to read more when Spring and Summer come along. It’s something about being able to read outside in the sun that’s more enjoyable! I am always looking for new suggestions on what to read next so I hope these suggestions inspire you! Here are 5 books that I’m currently reading or plan on reading this Spring and Summer…

1. #GIRLBOSS by Sophia Amoruso:  A book about a successful business woman who inspires you to channel your passion and hard work. Sophia is proof that you can be a huge success without giving up the things you love.

2. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins: This book is a must-read, especially before the movie hits theaters! This psychological thriller will alter the way you look at other people’s lives!

3. Dear Fang, With Love by Rufi Thrope: A book about a daughter and father who take a trip together for the summer after his daughter suffers a psychotic break down. A wonderful story about mental illness and love. Dear-Fang-Love-Rufi-Thorpe-May-24

4. The After Party by Anton DiSclafani: A novel about female friendship and how mothers shape our lives.
