I am so happy to be featuring Bethany, from @bma_21, on “Beautiful Homes of Instagram” today. I am happy to have her here, not only because she is very talented and someone you really should be following on Instagram, but also because I feel that we can learn from the way she decorates her spaces.
As you will see here, this home features the latest trends without being tacky and, forgive me, but I am finding this to be a rare thing these days, especially on Instagram. You will often find a beautiful home that has too much of a good thing! You might love a new trend, an interior style, but I personally feel that it is so important to know when to stop before it becomes too much. Bethany’s home feels collected and balanced, nothing is missing and nothing needs to come out. Are you ready to get inspired?
Hi there! My husband, Brian, and I have been married for nine years and we have two fur babies Dexter (seven-year-old Boxer) and Spencer (one-year-old German Shorthair Pointer). We are both native Texans and are happy to call Rockwall our home.
Our build was completed in July of 2017 and took much longer than anticipated. However, I will say that even though doing a fully custom build had its challenges, it was worth it in the end to get exactly what we wanted. We loved being able to design all aspects of our home including the floor plan and elevation. We had every imaginable option available to us (budget pending of course) when it came down to selecting finishes for our home which I will admit was a bit intimidating. Luckily, I got a lot of inspiration from others on Instagram and Pinterest. Our goal when making design selections was to not only create a style that fits us, but that was also warm and inviting to our guests.
We are situated on 2.1 acres in a mature subdivision with large, spaced out lots which was one of our must-haves when looking for a place to build. And of course, our pups love having plenty of room to run and play! We love the feel of the country, but are only about a ten-minute drive from town.
At this time, I won’t be sharing any full exterior views of our home since our landscaping is not yet installed. Spring cannot get here fast enough so we can get to work on it. In the meantime, I’ll start out with a view of our front entry.

I completely fell in love with these island pendant lights and had them stashed away in storage long before we ever even designed this space. I guess you could say we ended up designing our kitchen around them and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

We have always wanted a bigger pantry, so I of course jumped at the opportunity to design this space with a little help from Pinterest. This space is directly across from our wine area in our butler pantry and features small double doors that open out. I knew I wanted cabinets that I could store appliances and entertaining pieces in. And I love how the cabinets keep everything looking nice and tidy!

Countertops: Carrera Marble
Baskets: Target
Can Organizer: The Container Store
Oxo Pop Top Storage Containers: The Container Store
We put a ton of thought into designing this space since we wanted it to function as both a laundry room and space for our beloved pups. Having larger dogs, it has always been a struggle to get them in/out of the bathtub to bathe them which prompted the idea for a dog shower which also doubles as a great place to wash your muddy shoes, etc. Our sweet boys go right into the shower without any hesitation and seem to like it much better than the tub.

This space was my absolute favorite to design since I have always dreamed of having a closet with an island and chandelier!
Island countertop: Carrera Marble
I drew my plan to scale on grid paper and did sidebar drawings of how I wanted the shelves, etc. to be spaced and our builder had his trim guys make it come to life.

Who wouldn’t love to have this much space for shoes?!
We couldn’t be happier with how this space turned out and love all of the added storage that our island provides (the hubs and I each got one side of it).

Hi Di,
Thank you for noticing that! I used to talk about things that were happening in my life at the end of each post but I realized that this is the message I want to share with my readers at every post. This is a daily prayer and guidance that I feel that is not only helpful but it also “touches” the soul and it gives us strength – something all of us need, right? This prayer also speaks to me. 🙂
Keep in touch and thank you for your message. I appreciate it.
Luciane
