I’m your host, Anastasia Casey, and today we’re diving into one of the most anticipated design events of the year — the Kips Bay Decorator Showhouse in Dallas — through the eyes of Austin-based interior designer Avery Cox. Known for her bold use of color, artful storytelling, and a knack for creating interiors that feel both soulful and sophisticated, Avery is bringing her distinctive point of view to Kips Bay for the very first time. Born and raised in Dallas, this project marks a full-circle moment — merging her Texas roots with the refined, expressive aesthetic that’s made Avery Cox Design one of the most admired studios in the region. In this episode, Avery shares what it’s really like behind the scenes of a showhouse — from brand partnerships and creative constraints to the business strategy behind saying yes to an opportunity of this scale. We’ll also talk about balancing artistry with logistics, building visibility, and crafting spaces that leave a lasting impression.
