Welcome to the first issue of Texas Lifestyle, a magazine built for readers who want their homes to feel more useful, more beautiful, and more connected to the way Texans really live.

My goal with this issue is simple: help readers get more enjoyment, calm, and confidence out of life in Texas with something warm enough to enjoy over coffee and practical enough to keep open when you are planning a weekend project, hosting friends, or thinking about your next move.

You will find long-form features on outdoor living, daily routines, entertaining, and the kind of design decisions that make a home feel better before a renovation ever starts. At the back of the issue, I also included a market watch section with a few listings that show the range of what is happening right now across my corner of Texas real estate.
