Hi! I’m Kayla!
Glad to meet you! I am the creator behind Revived & Refined. I love breathing new life into cluttered and unloved spaces. I believe when you enjoy the aesthetic of your environment, it brings out the best in you and those you love. I hope you will find inspiration here that encourages you to mold your home into a soft place to land; A place that allows you to thrive, one where you feel confident inviting others into, a cozy place that makes it easy to love your family well. No matter what the first step may be in creating a home you love, I’m here to help you believe it is possible!
I live in central Texas with my husband Steve and our 3 children. We share our home with Bailey the Springer Spaniel, Stetson the Yellow Labrador and their best cat friend, Ace. Taylor, the small town Northeast of Austin we call home, is home of the Taylor Ducks. It’s a small town with a big heart that is “as friendly as a Texan’s smile”.
A few things I love to do:
- start books (but not finish them)
- watch football (GIG ‘EM)
- country dance (It’s how I met my husband)
- play volleyball (like, I could play until my legs stop working)
- eat cheesecake (especially Godiva Chocolate Cheescake)
- bake at Christmas (give me all the fudge & mocha crinkles!)
- be outdoors with my family (outdoors & family time just goes together)
- fish (here fishy, fishy)
- make silly sound effects (my kids make fun of me for this but tell me never to change)
- stare at the sky anytime of day (it is absolutely mesmerizing!)
