Step Inside a Houston Home with Dogwood Proper
January 30, 2026
This Houston home, redesigned by Jessica Bandstra and Bonnie Greene of Dogwood Proper, is a masterclass in thoughtful, continuous design.
Hello! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Crystal Moore, the founder of Garden & Grace, mom of 3 living in the town I grew up in with my husband who I met in the second grade! In 2022 we moved into our dream neighborhood and are slowly making our new house a home that reflects us.
While I’m learning to show myself grace in every aspect of my life, including decorating and updating my home, I’m enjoying the process and finding inspiration in many places. I love getting to share this journey with you and hope you find the ideas, resources and inspiration you need to create a home that reflects you and the people that gather in it.
Garden & Grace is a curated collection of timeless architectural, landscape and interior design inspiration. While some images are taken by the Garden & Grace team, others are the work of photographers and other professionals in the industry.

This Houston home, redesigned by Jessica Bandstra and Bonnie Greene of Dogwood Proper, is a masterclass in thoughtful, continuous design.
A roof does so much more than keep the rain out—it’s often the first thing that catches your eye, the detail that sets the tone for the entire home.
Christmas decorating doesn’t have to be one-size-fits-all. Each space in your home can reflect a slightly different mood while still feeling cohesive and festive. These four Christmas décor styles focus on timeless pieces, thoughtful layering, and details you’ll love bringing out year after year.
Stepping into the home of Crystal Moore, mother of four and founder of the home design platform Garden & Grace, you’re greeted by a beautiful, subtle aesthetic just like you might see on her Instagram feed. The living areas are layered in muted colors and textures, botanical prints and antiques, reflecting her Southern charm and traditional taste.
If you’re planning a kitchen renovation, building a new home, or simply gathering inspiration for the future, the smallest details often make the biggest difference. Thoughtful design choices can elevate your kitchen from “nice” to truly custom — without always adding major cost. Here are five designer-approved kitchen ideas to consider as you plan your space.
Discover timeless, elegant gifts she’ll love: silk scarves, faux fur, suede gloves, a polished clutch, and the chic brown bag that fits everything. Perfect pieces for the classic girl who appreciates effortless style.
North Carolina is filled with timeless homes — some original to in-town established neighborhoods and some more recently built.
If you’re new around here, welcome. This account is dedicated to celebrating classic architecture and traditional interiors for today’s living. I’m so glad you’re here.

I don’t normally film the pantry space during a home tour but when the storage, organization and cabinetry work is this beautiful, I just knew it had to be shared. Thank you Mary Margaret from @interiors_by_underwooddesign and Elizabeth Anne from @charlotteetiquette for welcoming Garden & Grace into your homes and showing us how even a pantry can be welcoming.

Do you sometimes dream of country living on a large piece of land with a sprawling home? There are some homes that have a way of drawing you in and inspiring a new way of living. This is one of those homes. With its familiar color palette, use of natural stone and sense of belonging like the home has always been there, there’s something about this home that just feels so right. The design team knocked this one out of the park! @dsdixonarchitect @artistic_finishes and @romabiopaints images beautifully captured by @cristinadaniellecreative

Here’s to hoping for a winter wonderland ❄️
Image via @lanternandscroll showcasing their copper gas lanterns! I’ve always admired this home and the most charming storm door I think I’ve ever seen!
Side note: If you’ve been following along the last several months, you may have seen I recently upgraded my outdoor lights with the copper @lanternandscroll ones too! I couldn’t be happier with the process and end product. @lanternandscroll is based in Charlotte and the quality of the lights is unmatched. If you’re not in Charlotte, they offer shipping and you can order directly from their website!

Charming curb-appeal in Charlotte #archdesign #charminghomes #architecturedesign
Garages and garage doors are sometimes overlooked but they can actually be an opportunity for a charming moment or even elevate the homes architecture appeal. If you’re building or renovating, take the time to ask your architect or builder about adding elements like an arched door or adding a trellis for climbing roses. With intentional design, your garage can be a welcoming, beautiful design element — not just a functional one!
Here are some examples of garages that have caught my attention over the years. If anyone has tips or other ideas, please share 🤍
…but Spring is coming.
