Brooke has always had a love for design — whether it be with hair, with a home, with art, or with fashion. “I’ve never taken any classes but really do lay in bed thinking about it. I’m always moving my furniture around, repainting canvases, changing out pillows, etc. I enjoy flea markets, finding cool unique pieces, and mixing that with modern trendy pieces that I buy straight from the showroom.” The Allen family includes two boys — Bryce, 13, and Brennon, 11. “Both of the boys like really modern style. They usually have a say in their room designs. Bryce has a more street, urban city vibe, while Brennon has a whimsical style. Of course, they’d both hang posters all over their walls, too! I tried to incorporate their styles while still keeping it cohesive with the rest of the house.” Growing up, décor was important in Brooke’s family home. “My parents’ home was always very well-decorated. My mom would hire an interior designer every 10- to 15-ish years and not move a thing until she had it redone years later — not even a coaster. We are opposites in that aspect — I change up my rooms every few months. My mom loves a beautiful home. She’s where I got my eye for beautiful things.” Brooke grew up in East Texas and took weekend trips to Dallas quite often. “I would stare at all the chandeliers and beautiful mirrors in hotels and stores where we shopped. My mom had my room decorated by a designer, too. I remember really wanting to paint my walls black in high school — the designer shot me down!” Family pieces also have a place in the Allen home. “Quite a few of the dressers and chest of drawers in our house belonged to my great-grandmother and grandfathers. Those make me smile. I also have a beautiful antique chest that I bought on the online yard sale Facebook page that we use as a coffee table and it’s stunning. I got it so cheap. I really enjoy a good deal!” The Allens have remodeled quite a few homes, and the future most likely holds more of the same. “It’s so fun for me. I like remodeling better than new builds. Josh has always supported my design choices, he has opinions and helps sometimes, but usually just says he trusts what I think. In truth, once we finished with the painting of this house, he said that he really didn’t think it could look this good. That was a great compliment to me — I love to make something shine when other people only see the ugly.” 34 faulkner lifestyle | september 2O18 FLM18-11278 Sept <strong>2018</strong>.indd 34 8/24/18 1:13 PM
