For the ultimate staycation, LUXE Next In Design 99 honoree Letecia Ellis Haywood can be found at The Post Oak Houston. “The hotel operates like a private campus, with five restaurants within walking distance. The guest rooms are cozy and well-appointed with comfortable beds layered in luxurious linens and marble-clad bathrooms for a spa-like experience. And don’t forget the people watching—you never know who you might see!”

From their River Oaks studio, LUXE Next In Design 99 pros and founders of Jackson Warren Interiors, Aileen Warren and Kiley Jackson, are surrounded by their favorite local vendors, including Dimmitt Contemporary Art. “This gallery represents diverse talent of emerging and established artists. We’ve been working with the owner as an art advisor for almost 10 years, and we know that no matter the project, we can always find art here that will enhance our design.”


Sherrell Neal Draws Inspiration From Le Colonial

LUXE Next In Design 99 talent Sherrell Neal draws inspiration from the classic Vietnamese fare and vibrant decor of Le Colonial. “I love everything from the food to the interiors. It’s like stepping into a 1920s Saigon time capsule with stained woodwork and antique brass details. The elegant atmosphere is nostalgic. And there’s a genuine spirit of Southern hospitality. I want to bring friends, stay a while and order a traditional Vietnamese coffee!”
