My Houzz: Colorfully Collected in Austin

Since LaVonne occasionally works from home, having a comfortable and organized workspace is important. One of her biggest design dilemmas when moving in was figuring out which corner of the room would be her office area. "I wanted to have a view when I worked and I also wanted clients to be able to interact with me if they stopped by," she says.

The black-and-white Marilyn Monroe art print was updated with a red terry cloth mat when LaVonne moved into her new home. Previously, the red was hot pink.

The black leather upholstery for the Louis XVII chair for her desk is one of LaVonne's biggest splurges for her home. Her dream piece for the house: "Definitely a bold, thick silk black-and-white striped Madeline Winerib 8-by-10 area rug. Those are the kind of rugs you keep forever and pass on to your kids. They are exquisite handmade masterpieces."

The coffee table in the living room holds many interesting pieces, giving guests a glimpse into LaVonne's taste. "My personal style is influenced by bright colors, graphic patterns, fierce lines and anything unique or one-of-a-kind," she says. The red coffee table is from LaVonne's Electric Expression line and the "Live," "Work, "Create," prints are also LaVonne originals.

On choosing her color palette she says, "I've always loved red but I especially love that the tones of colors in style lately are very intense. This is exemplified in the color-blocking styles you see on street attire. The red I chose is a bright cherry vintage red and works well with all of the graphic black-and-white pieces I own."

LaVonne shares her space with Boston terrier Jovie. Jovie is as warm and welcoming as the home. The open space and light wood floors are perfect for a dog his size.

The golden yellow velvet loveseat is a Craigslist treasure LaVonne found in San Antonio. Its bold primary color and diamond tufting design serves as a focal point and sets the tone for the space.

The dining area is clean and inviting. The chairs were a Craigslist find.

If LaVonne were to have any four people over for dinner she would have: Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Hillary Clinton and Iyanla Vanzant. This creative and unique group reflects the essence of her home.

Lamp, dining tabe, storage boxes: Ikea

The black armchair next to LaVonne's colorful closet matches the leather upholstered chair used as her desk chair on the second floor.

Here is LaVonne's modern exterior. Even though she is settled into her home, she says, "I will definitely need to change some of the art and pillows soon as my design eye gets used to details very quickly. I need new fun pieces around me to constantly inspire and keep my work alive!"
