Interior designer Emory McKim brings color, antiques, and plenty of personality to her family’s Park Cities home in Dallas. After giving the house a full gut renovation, Emory thoughtfully reworked each space to make it both beautiful and functional for everyday family life.

From a hidden entertaining bar and a jewel-box powder room to a playful playroom and colorful children’s bedrooms, the home mixes bold color, vintage finds, family heirlooms, and practical design solutions. Emory shares how she approaches each room, why functionality is just as important as aesthetics, and how she created spaces that reflect her family’s personality while allowing them to truly live in their home.

She also takes us through her “House Divided” living room, a serene primary suite, a meaningful nursery for her third baby, and the design details that make even hardworking spaces like the pantry and laundry room feel special. Throughout the home, Emory embraces the idea that a house should feel lived-in, joyful, and like a safe haven at the end of the day.
