After moving with her boyfriend to Cherrywood, a mellow neighborhood in Austin, in April, Caroline Pinney knew she was looking for a home with character rather than the renovated residences taking over the city. 'I stand by the fact that a super old home is just built better,' the artist says about her one-story house on the East Side. 'Austin has a mix of old yet beautiful and historic homes, but modern homes feel very sterile.'
Comfort and coziness were a top priority as a full-time artist who 'works from home 99% of the time.' She relies heavily on her visual intuition to hunt for decor—mainly second-hand finds and abstract paintings—which stems from the intention to connect to something more deeply within her relationships and her life. 'When I'm collecting pieces for my home, I always think about how it brings me closer to myself or the people I love,' she says.
Aspects of the home, especially her dining room, were curated to emphasize memories with her loved ones that would manifest in the space. 'Our connection as a family was built around a table.' This reflects her desire for not just aesthetics, but the emotional resonance of her living environment.
